The Fighting Marriage (Part 4 of 5)
Jo and I were living in a Portland suburb with our two small boys and newborn baby girl. One hot summer night, we pitched a tent in the back yard for the boys. As Joshua and Jonathan drifted off to sleep, the couple behind our house began to fight. Since none of us in the neighborhood had air-conditioning, and it was too hot to close the windows, everyone heard the argument, punctuated by louder and increasing uses of the "f" word. Amazingly, our sons slept through the battle. Finally we heard a loud slap of hand hitting flesh, followed by a woman's wail. The argument was over.
It was hard to imagine that those two people ever cared for one another, let alone stood in front of an altar pledging to love and cherish each other until death.
Most of us know we shouldn't eavesdrop on a marital spat, but when we inadvertently hear one, it's almost impossible to ignore. Consumed with uncontrollable passion and rage, the combatants aren't thinking about who might overhear. These are not civil discussions characterized by cold indifference. When lovers quarrel, sparks fly!
An Angry or Loving God?
There are many people today who say they can't accept the God of the Old Testament because He is so judgmental. His wrath scares people, and with good reason. Sometimes it feels as though God's anger is totally out of control. Naturally, many people prefer to worship only a God of love. They view God as a caring deity who would never hurt anyone. On the other hand, some of these same people get angry with a loving God whom they perceive to be indifferent to their suffering. They would like to see God execute justice on those who hurt them.
So which God is He — a God of love, or a God of anger? I found it difficult to reconcile the two until I began to see God as a jilted lover. Because He loves so passionately, He gets angry when His love is spurned. In that context, God's wild emotions make sense.
John Eldredge has described reading the prophets as the equivalent of overhearing a man and wife fighting in the next room. That's a pretty accurate assessment. When we think about how we've been hurt in our relationships, we recognize many of the same emotions in God's indictment of Israel. I've concluded that God loves His people with great passion, and the evidence of that passion is most apparent when He angrily confronts idolatry. It's not unlike a man catching his wife in bed with another lover.
The Bible records many heated encounters between God and Israel. Most of the marital fights are rather one-sided; God does most of the yelling. After listening to Him for a while, I have to wonder what person in his right mind would put up with such an unfaithful spouse.
God considered the nation of Israel His wife. He'd made a covenant with Abraham and his descendents — an irrevocable commitment. He was hurt — just as anyone of us would be — when His wife committed adultery. But the worst feeling came when His beloved not only was seduced by other lovers (other gods) but actively chose to pursue those worthless imitations. How could she worship wood and stone replicas of creation when she was married to the One who created all things? To God, this was inconceivable!
When I set aside my assumptions about the God I've worshiped in nice churches for 40-plus years, I'd say He sounds a lot like a frantic lover who will say and do almost anything to save His marriage. Well, perhaps that is the case. Maybe my modern image of God is too tame. When I read the prophets, I hear God's heart breaking. But He wasn't simply a complaining God. He took action and disciplined Israel with tough love. There had to be a separation for a while, so that issues could be dealt with and healing might occur. This relationship was far too important to let things slide. God wanted His love back, and He was determined to do whatever was necessary to accomplish that.
Fighting for Marriage
I can't help but be impressed with how hard God fights for His marriage. If there is one very alarming trend now in the culture, it's the number of "amicable" divorces. I hear of couples simply drifting apart. They say they don't love each other anymore; there is no passion, so they go their separate ways. There is no battle at all for the marriage. Is it because couples don't expect much from their marriages? We fight passionately for those things we care most about.
It occurs to me as I review passage after passage of God's challenges to His beloved that maybe His anger shows us when and how to fight within a marriage. First, God's complaints are based on the covenant. It's interesting that He held the people of Israel to a much higher standard than other nations. He had given Himself to them as their God, and they had agreed to be faithful to Him alone. Heaven forbid that God should ever go back on His word, but if He had, the people could have rightly called Him to account.
In fact, there is one situation where that happened. God was angry with His people after they built a golden calf to worship while God was giving Moses the law on Mount Sinai. God told Moses to get out of His way so He could destroy them. "Then," He said, "I will make you into a great nation." You'd think this was a golden opportunity for Moses. But Moses didn't see it that way. He appealed to God: "Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel to whom you swore by your own self: 'I will make your descendents as numerous as the stars.'"
Moses had every right to challenge God based on the covenant. Because of that appeal, God relented and did not follow through on His threat. God, likewise, had every right to challenge Israel's unfaithfulness, and He did so based on the fact that they were married.
A friend of mine, Pete, struggled with an addiction to pornography, and when his wife discovered the problem, she confronted him. At first he dismissed her accusations. "This is no big deal," he said. "Why are you upset?"
"Because we're married," she calmly explained through her tears. "I love you. I'm here for you. You don't need these other women."
"But they're just pictures!" he protested. "They mean nothing."
"Then give them up," his wife pleaded.
But my friend didn't. Pete simply did a better job of hiding the evidence. Once I became aware of his struggle, I would occasionally ask him how he was doing, and every time he would say he had the problem under control. But gradually I saw him less and less frequently. Pete's wife was right to be concerned, for over time her husband's problems increased. He started calling 900 numbers and visiting strip clubs. When she discovered the evidence on credit card bills, they had a far greater confrontation. Despite her evidence, Pete refused to admit he had a problem and get help. We'll come back to Pete in a minute.
Patient, But Not Passive
My second observation is God's astonishing patience. I find this hard to understand, for in our culture, we have a quick-fix mentality. We don't allow much time for a person to change. But God spent hundreds of years fighting for this marriage. He continually reached out to His beloved. "Come back to me!" He'd plead. Sometimes she did. Occasionally hard times were required — famine or conquest by enemies — to bring her to her senses. Then she'd cry out for mercy and God always responded. My human attitude would have been to let her stew a little longer in her misery — it served her right.
It's sad how many couples aren't willing to persevere. But in a self-centered society, if I'm not happy, I don't have much patience. I want my happiness now!
Finally, I note that God isn't passive about the problems of His marriage. God didn't just endure Israel's unfaithfulness. He didn't simply vent His emotions; He also took constructive action. For Israel that meant tough love. That meant separation for a time so she could work out her problems.
There is nothing spiritual about being a doormat. A spouse doesn't need to endure unending abuse, whether physical or emotional. When a husband abuses his wife and demands she submit and accept that abuse, it's wrong. This is not the love that was promised in the covenant.
Pete's wife exercised tough love when he refused to deal honestly with his sexual addiction. After she confronted him with the evidence, she insisted he move out. "I do not want a divorce," she said. "I love you, Pete. But what you are doing is wrong. It is hurting me and it is hurting our children. We cannot continue to live this way. When you are willing to get help and become the man God created you to be, then I will welcome you back."
These words and actions were a wake-up call for Pete. He did seek help, and though there were several setbacks, the couple were reconciled a year later. Without his wife's tough love, I seriously doubt whether Pete would have changed.
My conclusion from Scripture is that if God feels His marriage is worth fighting for, mine is worth fighting for, too.

What are our plans for this weekend? If you are searching for something that is fun, exciting and more, why not plan a weekend fishing? There are so many good reasons to schedule this activity, including the six listed below. Are you ready to experience some of the most fun ever?
1. Relaxing: Fishing is an activity that is fun, but it's also relaxing. There's no reason to rush when you fish. The fish and water is there waiting on you all day. Move along at your own pace.
2. Affordable: SO many activities these days are fun but they're costly. For people with limited budgets, it's nearly impossible to get out and about and enjoy this fun. Fishing, on the other hand, is affordable fun for all.
3. Family Time: It can be daunting to find activities for the family to enjoy together but fishing happens to be one that kids love just as much as adults. It's the perfect opportunity to spend time with the people that you love the most.
4. Options: There's tons of different fish that you can catch, take back home, prepare and enjoy. Or, throw them back in; it's your choice. It's a good idea to hire a trout fishing guide bozeman mt and get the fun started.
5. Get Outside: We have phones and computers that oftentimes keep us inside. When you plan a fishing trip, it's the perfect opportunity to get outside and soak up the sun -and that vitamin D that your body needs.
6. Relieves Stress: We all experience some level of stress in our life. It's important to rid our bodies of that stress to protect our health. Fishing provides the perfect chance to alleviate stress and enjoy life to the fullest.
It's time to plan a fishing trip that you will never forget.

Enhance your Charisma
Enhance your Inner Strength and Charisma Using thes 15 Steps
It is possible to make significant improvements in your career, financial life and your personal confidence by following the energy rituals described below. They are designed to magnify your personal life where success and charisma are concerned. Look for personal magnetism to improve after using these Feng Shui techniques:
A WATER FEATURE placed in the Southwest area of your home can help attract wealth. Choosing a significantly large feature – a pool or fish pond, for example, is ideal to attract significant wealth. The point is to dig into the ground, activating the indirect spirit of the period of eight, believed to bring abundance and prosperity to you and your family members.
GROW PLANTS in the Southeast area of your home to attract an improvement in income. Sprouting plants awakens sheng chi, leading to stimulated finances and perhaps many sources of income. A Southeastern area left barren depletes wealth energy.
MANDALAS HUNG ON YOUR SOUTH WALL will reflect the energy of Heaven and Earth. These will mingle with the energy of all those living in your home, forming the trinity of feng shui known as "Tien Ti Ren." Having a well-drawn mandala on display will safeguard your home while also attracting good health and longevity for all those who reside there.
THROW A PARTY! Choose a special occasion and invite friends and loved ones to celebrate, which will invite positive yang energy into your home environment. Be sure to choose as guests those you believe have an aura of happiness and good will, and in feng shui belief, this will disperse any negativity that may be trapped in your home, replacing it with positive chi energy instead.
LOCATE THE FACING PALACE section of your home and surround it with yang energy. The facing palace is the portion of your home where positive chi is able to enter and be dispersed. This area should be free of clutter and feature bright lights. The addition of protective Fu Dogs will enhance the protection of your home and prevent harm from entering.
PLACE A RED JEWEL in your home's Earth sector to attract enhanced wealth luck. A well-chosen red wish-fulfilling jewel should be wrapped in a red or yellow cloth and then buried in either the Southwest or Northeast corner of your garden. If you want doubled good luck, place jewels in both locations! If you feel there have been obstacles standing in the way of prosperity for you, this Feng Shui ritual will help remove those obstacles and clear the way for good fortune.
WEAR A FAN PENDANT – a symbol that transforms bad luck to good. This pendant will remove bad vibrations or malicious gossip. It will help protect against evil intentions from others and is an excellent way to help good luck return to your life, particularly if you have been experiencing a string of bad luck.
ALLOW THE SUN AND MOON SIGN to energize your home. These two signs together bring power and energy to your life and signify the balance of yin and yang energy. Activate this powerful energy by placing this symbol in your home.
DRAW THE DOLLAR SIGN ON THE PALM OF YOUR HAND and do this each day for a period of 15 days, to attract good fortune. Use red cinnabar to draw the dollar sign on your palm for the 15 days of the waxing moon. As you are drawing the sign, focus on believing that this will attract money and financial success.
CARRY A WISH-FULFILLING TREE keychain to attract a protective energy and defend you against negativity. It will help you activate what you desire, whether for spiritual, mental, physical, emotional or material purposes.
LET THE PEACH BLOSSOM REV UP YOUR LOVE LIFE! The Feng Shui peach blossom is a symbol of love and desire. Seek out which is your personal peach blossom animal – the horse, rooster, rabbit or rat – depending on your birth animal sign. Then place a symbol of this animal in a prominent location in the corresponding part of your home. Also seek the peach blossom location of the year (Flying star #4) and place the animal there to awaken enhanced love energy.
A PAINTING OF 100 BIRDS placed just outside your front door will symbolize many opportunities and a potential for change for the better in your life. This will also help bring good news your way. The more birds, the better, thus the number 100. The type of bird is not important, though colorful birds with beautiful plumage are considered to be especially auspicious bearers of good luck.
PROTECT YOUR FAMILY'S LUCK WITH A METAL FEATURE placed in the Northwest portion of your home. Especially auspicious is the Ksitigarbha's six-ring staff, though you can display any metallic sculpture you choose if you prefer such as the Laughing Buddha or Kwan Kung made of brass. The Northwest represents the father or other leader of your home, with the belief that if the leader does well, so will all those in residence.
AN AQUARIUM FILLED WITH LITTLE FISH can attract career luck according to Feng Shui Bagua theory. Place the aquarium in the Northern corner of your home and be sure to properly maintain it. The small fish will swim about and bring a constant supply of yang energy to your home.
CARRY SEA SALT OR ROCK SALT in your wallet to ensure a steady supply of cash. Sea salt is believed to have healing and cleansing property but it is also thought to attract wealth luck. It might be best to sew a few grains of salt into a small pouch and then place the pouch in your wallet. This can help ensure that as money leaves you, more will be brought in to replace it.

The festive season has already started, and we are now heading to Christmas. As usual, this is a challenging time of the year (especially for marketers), so we must make the most of our talents if we want to succeed in engaging the audiences.
Find more statistics at Statista
When it comes to Christmas, the best marketing approach is probably a multi-layered one. In any case, it would be wise to start the preparations as early as possible (ideally in summer).
E-mail marketing, social media, blogs, discounts, promotions and gift cards are some of the elements we can use for our marketing strategy.
There are some previous steps to be taken before creating any campaign:
• Checking trends and social media listening: the Christmas trend usually starts to become popular in October.
• Surveys and market research: to know what your audiences are interested in, it's advisable to do simple studies.
• Watching the competitors: we can keep an eye on them by getting subscribed to their newsletters.
• Selecting adequate channels: social media and blogging, as well as content marketing, are potent tools that can increase your web traffic and generate new leads.
With all these previous steps in mind, it's time to start crafting the ideal campaign by choosing the right theme and message, mainly focusing in seasonal offers and promotions (it's essential to take in account other events too, like Black Friday). Once we decide it, it's time to tackle the creative part, without forgetting the customer experience.
It's 2018, and the audiences are smart and savvy. If we want to get their attention, we must be original, creative and engaging. Let's look at the newest trends and some exciting campaigns.
The emotional: Ikea
The experiential: KLM
The environmental: Iceland
Here are some creative ideas for the different type of businesses.
Cash cards and ATM giveaways, "skip a payment" promotions, holiday loans, sponsorships and donations are some of the most popular marketing ideas for financial companies.
Beauty Salons:
Using promotional materials, gift cards, seasonal offers and some local business networking will help to boost sales. As for Social Media, it's advisable to try and test what kind of content works better before launching any campaign (starting in October). Press advertising, although more expensive, can be a good investment too.
Christmas is that particular time of the year when sharing is encouraged. Therefore it's very suitable for any charity campaign. It's recommended to try a combination of two or three different ideas: themed parties, storytelling, gift wrapping and decoration services and Christmas cards design are some feasible ways to raise funds. It is essential to implement a system that allows online donations.
Estate Agents:
It's the perfect time to reconnect with clients and subscribers, by sending them greetings and organising social media contests (like best Christmas decoration photo). Celebrating a themed networking event among the local community can improve engagement.
The festive season is ideal for hosting themed parties and events. In the online area, e-mail campaigns work very well, as well as social media contests and some Christmas customisation in the websites.
Focusing on discounts and promotions (like special menus and cocktails), festive decoration, holding charity events, parties and contests.
Online Business:
It's advisable to start planning early and take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday, to increase brand awareness and get new leads. Using emotional marketing, customised packaging and PPC campaigns adapted to the season as well as festive imagery (in the web and social channels) will bring more revenue.
Creating a visually attractive window display is a must. Other exciting ideas are pre-Christmas sales, special events and proximity marketing.

Ready for your summer adventure!? Here is something that should put the fire under to get friends together and find a destination… Because this is exactly what Louis Perruchaud, Thomas Dettori, Selim Osseirane and Victor Demonte did, in order to go see what Moscow had to offer, with the best guides possibles in the likes of Tolia Titaev and crew! These four came back with great memories, but also enough good photos to finally put them together on paper to produce an edition titled OBED, from which we selected the photos above.
This should keep you on your toes, until the video drops tomorrow, and in the mean time, you can cop OBED, the zine, here.

Commercial, advertising and fashion pictures:
guest editor - David Harris
During October CPN readers from around the world submitted their commercial, advertising and fashion images for review by Wunderman's Executive Creative Director David Harris.
In a multimedia presentation he chooses 28 pictures and talks in detail about his favourite ones.
"The amazing digital cameras you buy now mean that pretty much anyone can take a properly exposed image," he said. "Because of that the snap shot-type of image that was quite in vogue has suddenly become so everyday that we are looking for something different now. I still believe that lighting is key to a great image and in the right hands something quite ordinary can become spectacular." He urged students to take risks with their photography and be inspired by other disciplines such as art.

My Little Picasso
Posted December 21, 2011on:
As mentioned before, I've been trying to figure out how best to introduce our little lady to her big brother. Since my previous post, I've been given a few more pointers:
- the first time Niko meets the baby, she should be in her carseat, or some other neutral area (not cradled in Mommy's or Daddy's arms)
- he should be allowed to go up to her, touch her and check her out
- get him involved in an artsy way
I'm planning on doing all three. To elaborate on the third point, my friend Heather suggested getting Niko involved in making some sort of artwork to hang in his little sister's room – a welcome-to-our-family gift of sorts.
The idea is simple really: using leftover paint from the baby's walls create a toddler-made painting. We happened to have some blank canvasses and acrylic paints in the basement so away we went. In total it took about 10 minutes a day for a period of 4 days.
Day 1 Purple: using the purple paint from his sister's room, Niko finger-painted the background
Day 2 Green: using a 2″ brush, Niko painted on the second layer (I'd envisioned lime green, but as an amateur self-mixer this was the closest I could get, using the blue, yellow and white paints we had on hand)
Day 3 Yellow: using a small paintbrush, I encouraged Niko to make circles on his masterpiece
Day 4 White: using leftover trim paint, I had planned to glob it on and then have Niko blow through a straw to create a special effect – turns out the globs were too thick, and at times Niko sucked in instead of the reverse. And there was that one time he turned the straw around and put the painted end in his mouth. Ah well…live and learn. In the end, we dipped a small paint brush in the paint and sort of shook it onto the canvas. I also tried to get his hand print in the bottom right corner. A toddler-style signature, similar to the greasy ones that grace the walls of my house…
And presto, c'est fini! Overall an artistic success and I love the way it looks hanging in the baby's room. Great work Little Man!
All we need now? The baby!

Superior Court of Maine, Cumberland
November 7, 2017
HARLES D. CLEMETSON, M.D., Petitioner,v.STATE OF MAINE BOARD OF LICENSURE IN MEDICINE and STATE OF MAINE, Respondents.
H. Walker, Justice.
the Court is Petitioner's Rule 8OC appeal of the decision
of the State of Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine
("the Board") that places certain restrictions on
Petitioner's license to practice medicine for a
probationary period of five years pursuant to 32 M.R.S.
§ 3282-A(2)(P) and 10 M.R.S. § 8003(5)(A-1). For
the reasons discussed below, the Court denies the petition.
genesis of this case is a decision and order of the Board
issued on July 11, 2013, in which the Board imposed
conditions on Petitioner's license after finding
Petitioner had engaged in unprofessional conduct.
(Pet'r's Compl. Ex. A 14; Resp't's Br. 2.) On
March 9, 2016, the Board issued another decision and order in
which it found Petitioner had violated the conditions
contained in the 2013 order. (Pet'r's Compl. Ex. A
5.) As a sanction for those violations, the Board imposed a
censure and a five-year probationary period during which
Petitioner was prohibited from maintaining his own private
practice and was ordered to close his practice within 90 days
of the effective date of the order. (Id.) Further,
Petitioner was limited to practicing in a setting with other
psychiatrists and was required to engage a Board-approved
practice monitor. (Id.) After the hearing leading to
this order, Petitioner requested a stay of the Board's
decision, but he withdrew his request prior to the
Board's deliberation. (Id. at 4-5.) In March
2016, Petitioner secured employment with Protea Integrated
Health and Wellness, and he informed the Board he had engaged
a practice monitor. (Id. at 5-6.) However, the Board
was never able to confirm the practice monitor's
willingness to serve, and Protea closed for business before
Petitioner was to begin his employment there. (Id.
at 6, 12.)
April 20, 2016, Petitioner asked the Board to stay the March
9 decision, and he filed an appeal of the Board's
decision in the Superior Court on the same day. (Id.
at 6.) The Board informed Petitioner that it did not have
jurisdiction to act on his request for a stay while his
appeal was pending. (Id. at 6-7.) On July 6, 2016,
Petitioner's appeal was dismissed for failure to comply
with the briefing schedule. (Id. at 7.) He filed a
motion for relief from judgment on July 15, 2016, but he
withdrew his motion on August 15, 2016, thus ending his
appeal of the March 9 decision and order. (Id. at 7,
11; Resp't's Br. 5.)
he was reminded by the Board that he was required to close
his practice by June 7, 2016, Prescription Monitoring Program
Reports indicated he was issuing prescriptions through July
16, 2016. (Pet'r's Compl. Ex. A 7-8.) When the Board
requested he confirm his compliance with the terms of his
probation on July 1, 2016, Petitioner replied that he planned
to '"comply with most components'" of the
order, but he did not immediately confirm his compliance at
that time. (Id.) On July 25, 2016, Petitioner
supplemented his response to state that he had closed his
practice and given notice to his patients. (Id. at
8.) On August 12 and August 17, 2016, Petitioner requested
from the Board permission to continue writing prescriptions
for his patients. (Id. at 10-11.) His request was
repeatedly denied. (Id.)
Board ultimately held another hearing to determine if
Petitioner had violated the terms of the March 9, 2016 order
by continuing to practice after June 7, 2016. In his defense,
Petitioner argued that he believed his appeal in the Superior
Court stayed the effective date of the Board's order.
(Id. at 11.) The Board found this argument
incredible, as Petitioner was clearly aware of the need to
secure a stay because he had requested one prior to the
Board's deliberations; further, he had not actually
requested a stay in his appeal to the Superior Court.
(Id. at 11-12.) At his hearing, Petitioner also
testified that he believed the effective date of the order
was 90 days after the 30-day expiration date for appeal,
which would have been July 9, 2016. (Id. at 12.) The
Board countered that multiple communications to Petitioner
stated he was required to close his practice by June 7, 2016.
(Id.) Petitioner testified that he last saw patients
in his private practice on July 25, 2016, and that he did not
write any prescriptions after that date. (Id. at 9.)
Board issued the decision and order currently under review on
February 15, 2017. In its decision, the Board noted that
Petitioner has been disciplined multiple times in the past,
including a finding of unprofessional conduct in 2001, which
led to a probationary period that Petitioner violated in
2002, as well as the disciplinary action in 2013, the
violation of which eventually led to the current appeal.
(Id. at 13-14.) The Board found that by continuing
his practice after June 7, 2016, Petitioner had not complied
with the March 9 order and conditions of probation.
(Id. at 15.) The sanctions imposed by the decision
are as follows:
a. A warning;
b. Partial payment of the actual expenses of hearing, in the
amount of $1, 000 in hourly costs of hearing officer
services, due within 90 days of the first date of his
employment; and
c. Conditions of probation, which shall be in effect for five
years from the effective date of the Decision and Order, as
i. The Licensee is prohibited from opening, operating or
maintaining his own private medical practice;
ii. The Licensee is limited to practicing medicine in a
setting pre-approved by the Board with at least one other
psychiatrist who is licensed to practice medicine in Maine,
and who must also be pre-approved by the Board;
iii. Before commencing the practice of medicine in a setting
with another psychiatrist, the Licensee must identify a
practice monitor and receive the Board's approval for
such monitor. The Licensee must ensure that the practice
monitor, once approved by the Board, provides reports to the
Board every three months from the date upon which the
Licensee begins practicing in a setting with another
psychiatrist. The reports must include information requested
from the monitor by the Board ...

Guillermo del Toro writing vampire trilogy
Some people like to keep busy, and then there is Guillermo del Toro. With more films on the go than he knows what to do with, including The Hobbit, he's now agreed to write a trilogy of vampire novels.
Does this guy never sleep? Whatever he's on to keep up with that workload, I want some.
With two Hobbit films, a Frankenstein remake and a Dr.Jekyll and Hyde film on the way, you would think Guillermo del Toro would have enough work to keep him busy. But no, he will write three vampire novels alongside Chuck Hogan.
Variety say the first novel will be published next summer, and will be called The Strain. The books will tell the story of a vampire virus which sweeps New York, and will trace the origins of vampires all the way to the Old Testament.
Sounds like an ambitious series, and if he brings his distinctive visual flair to the novels, they should be amazing. Maybe he will make them into films at a later date, a much later date, say 2020, or whenever he is next free.
I can't think of a director off the top of my head who has committed to something like this. Anyone know any? Should be interesting to see how they pan out. Are you looking forward to del Toro's novels?

An expert-approved list of what to eat when you want to lose weight
Wondering how to lose weight? While exercise will remain the central focus of your weight loss plan, the diet half of it isn't something you can afford to overlook. Food habits can determine whether you achieve your fitness goals or not -- one such habit being your tendency to snack. Though snacking isn't so bad in itself, snacking on unhealthy foods is something that stops you from seeing the results that you want. You might have a tendency of grabbing a bite of your favourite foods here and there because it's relatively easier to eat healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it's the time in between those meals that makes you crave for something tasty. And there's a reason why you have these cravings. When you're on a weight loss diet, those reduced portion sizes during your main meals are bound to make you feel hungry.
Therefore, to help you through this dilemma of how to lose weight without starving yourself, we got some experts to recommend not one or two, but 21 healthy snacks that will efficiently get you through your fitness regime. But before you indulge in these snacks, you need to know when you can consume them and whether they will actually help you lose weight at all.
You've often faced hunger pangs if you've stayed up late at night. But according to Neha Dhulla, Manager of Clinical Practices & Nutrition at Digestive Health Institute by Dr.Muffi, "Eating any meal post-dinner time could disrupt your sleep cycle and affect the body's metabolism. It is also proven that these calories are typically stored as fat as there is no activity around this time, which results in weight gain." Instead of a late night snack, she recommends either nuts, boiled egg whites (which are good sources of protein and fibre) or even a cup of warm milk since it induces better sleep.
Veer Ramlugon, founder of The Food Analysts, the first WhatsApp-based human calorie counting service, seems to agree. As part of your late night healthy snacks, he suggests that you consume fox nuts (makhana). Rich in magnesium and zinc, fox nuts not only help you calm your mind but also help you recover from inflammation and toxins. Protein rich snacks like egg whites ensure that fat burning hormones sync well without any disruptions due to snacking late. You can also consume whey protein because it is absorbed more quickly and ensure that you have a speedy recovery from a hectic day.
Sometimes late night snacks are also consumed due to boredom or stress. As per holistic nutritionist Luke Coutinho, this is the reason you'll often find yourself leaning toward sugary foods, salty snacks or ones that are laden in transfat. He says, "Eating too close to bedtime could even cause indigestion and sleeping problems." Though if you absolutely must have a late night snack, Coutinho lists down a few things to keep in mind while you're choosing. He says, "The late night snacks you consume should balance any acidic effects of the foods you eat during the day. They should have calming effects and contain no stimulants like caffeine, tannin or alcohol. Additionally, your snacks should be low on carbs and also have detoxifying properties." He suggests the following healthy late night snack options you can consume when you're hungry post-bedtime:
You could even consume any combinations of the above, depending upon your level of hunger. But Coutinho recommends avoiding fruits since they are high in sugar and your body doesn't require that kind of energy at night.
When it comes to snacking, nuts are a convenient as well as a healthy option. Dhulla points out that the best part about snacking on nuts is that they're easily portable so you can consume them on the go and they'll give you an instant energy boost. And there are a huge variety of nuts you can choose from like almonds, walnuts, groundnuts etc. But these nuts are to be consumed only in moderation as they are calorie dense. Additionally, avoid consuming cashew nuts and peanuts as they are high in saturated fats, and will not aid in weight loss.
According to Coutinho, the best way to have nuts as healthy snack options are to have them unsalted and soaked. He elaborates, "They are one of the best sources of plant-based protein, good fats (Omega3), fibre and are loaded with micronutrients like Vitamin E, Vitamin B, zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper manganese, potassium, calcium and antioxidants. Since they pack a healthy dose of protein, fats and fibre, they help in bringing satiety. And hence, chances of further unnecessary snacking are reduced when they are consumed."
Junk foods are ones that are highly processed and stripped of nutrition and fiber. According to Coutinho, "These food items are doused in bad oils (fats) and laden with sugar and salt. They are acidic in nature and highly capable of exacerbating inflammation within our bodies." So though junk food should be avoided as much as possible, even if you do want to indulge in them, you need to do so rarely and wisely.
If you're craving your favourite burgers, fries, pizzas and pastas, you could always opt for healthier alternatives to these junk food. Dhulla suggests, "A red-sauce tomato based gravy for pasta with loads of veggies can be selected instead of the creamy, cheesy white sauce. A sandwich can be made healthier by picking a whole wheat or a multigrain bread, restricting the butter and cheese and adding more veggies."
Coutinho has a few tips to remember while consuming junk food. For example, instead of eating a sugary dessert, revamp the same into a jaggery based one sprinkled with nuts at the top. If you like fried snacks, make them at home with fresh cold pressed oils instead of refined oils. After consuming junk food, he recommends washing them down with a glass of lemon water since they are acidic. He says, "Be active and try sneaking in a HIIT exercise like tabata before the treat."
Popcorn is a snack that you tend to munch on quite often and in large amounts -- be it at home while watching a movie or at the theater. Some people even snack on popcorn while consuming alcohol. So if you really like binging on this snack, here's some good news for you: Popcorn could be a healthy snack option compared to other junk foods. Coutinho explains, "Popcorn coming from a non-GMO tends to contain a lot of fibre (endosperm and bran ) and nutrients like manganese, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B3 and B6, copper, protein, polyphenols and complex carbs."
But opt for homemade popcorn instead of commercially available ones and avoid cheese, caramel or any other flavoured popcorns as they contain extra calories. Coutinho says, "The latter contains hydrogenated and trans fats that are highly inflammatory and raise triglycerides. The body doesn't know how to break down these kinds of fats and store them away as body fat around your organs or arteries." Coutinho also recommends a healthy way of consuming popcorn: "Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil/ghee in a vessel, add half a cup of non-GMO dry corn kernels, cover and let them pop. When all kernels are popped, sprinkle turmeric, pepper, and some pink Himalayan salt."
According to Ramlugon, "Makhanas, also known as fox nuts, are the healthier replacement for popcorn. They are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron, fibre, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Being high in fibre and low in calories, they enable weight loss. So skip popcorn and pop makhanas, they taste best when roasted in a small spoon of ghee with rock salt & pepper."
Neha Dhulla has prepared a list of healthy snacks that are not only easy to make but will also help you lose weight if you include some of them in your daily diet. Here's what you need to be snacking on if you want to experience weight loss:
Fruits are the most common, easily available and nutritious snack to munch on. Always opt for seasonal fruits and have them as a whole as opposed to in the form of juices. Even if there is no added sugar and it is not strained, fruit juices lose most of their fibre content. So consume fruits whenever you are hungry except when those midnight food cravings strike.
Easy to carry, these are small power packed options that are great for on-the-go snacking. Moderation is the key when consuming nuts as one can easily go overboard. A handful of nuts (not more than 5-7 pieces) of almonds, walnuts, groundnuts, and dates can be consumed as healthy snacks.
If you are someone who exercises regularly and follows a fitness routine, a glass of protein shake (made with skim milk/water) with 1 scoop protein powder (whey is considered as the best source, however, a blend of different sources can be also included) is the best snack post workout for muscle repair.
Another good snack that comes handy and is easy to carry is a protein bar or an energy bar. One needs to be careful while selecting these as a lot of these ready-to-eat bars are high in sugars. Food labels have to be read carefully so as to check the ingredients for hidden sugars. These protein bars are not only healthy but will also keep you feeling full for longer and reduce junk food cravings.
A medium-sized bowl of freshly made plain yogurt or loaded with chopped fruits and nuts is an ideal snack for summers. Yogurt is rich in protein, which ultimately helps you lose weight.
A blend of various vegetables can be used to create a variety of different juices. Instantly refreshing, these juices are packed with vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants. They are a great source of hydration too.
A mix of sliced veggies like carrots, radish, cucumbers, and tomatoes can be used along with a teaspoon of peanut butter or homemade dips to curb unhealthy snack cravings.
One of the healthiest Gujarati snack - a blend of different flours, grated veggies and masalas - this steamed snack is easy to prepare and tastes great with green chutney.
Another delicious Gujarati snack that can be prepared easily and quickly, vegetable dhoklas can be given different twists by using different flours and using a mix of various vegetables that are rich in nutrients. This healthy snack can be prepared for breakfast but is also great as an evening snacking option.
A cup of warm or cold milk can be used along with 3-4 tbsp of oats/low-fat sugarfree muesli or wheat flakes to curb your hunger in the evenings. This snack is a great combination of protein and carbs - this can also be topped with chopped fruits and dry fruits to add the nutrient content of this snack.
Great source of protein for vegetarians, this healthy and tasty snack can be used as an option for all meals - be it lunch, dinner, breakfast or even as a snack. It's a great tiffin option for kids as well.
High in protein, easy to make and easier to consume - this is a great snack to consume for pumping up your protein intake and ultimately leading to weight loss.
Great for vegetarians, this high protein ingredient can be used in a variety of ways - either consumed plain with salt & pepper or grilled or sauteed with other veggies. This snack can also be used as a dinner option.
Ideal for evening snacks along with a cup of tea or as a remedy for a mid-night craving, 2-3 pieces of a wheat cracker or fibre biscuits are great as they will keep you feeling full for longer and help you lose weight by preventing you from eating more.
Crunchy and easy to make, this snack complements beverages like tea and coffee and is also great as a midnight snack. A lot of variation can be added to the khakhras by adding different spices like jeera, methi, ajwain etc. It can also be made with different flours making it more nutritious.
Bhel works very well when combined with protein-rich sprouts and chopped veggies of one's choice. Fried items like sev, puri etc can be avoided in this snack to make it more healthy and help you lose weight.
A vegetable raita can be used as a snacking option in the evenings. A good combination of proteins and fibre, this healthy snack gives you great satiety combined with taste.
This roasted snack can be eaten in the evenings as well as used as a late-night snacking option. Since it is healthier than popcorn, it could act as a great substitute to help you lose weight.
This roasted snack can also be eaten in the evenings as well as used as a late-night snacking option. It can be clubbed with chopped veggies and the fibre content can be increased to stimulate weight loss.
Another crunchy option, ideal to munch on in the evenings, this snack is healthy as well as tasty but should be consumed in moderation. The fibre content of this snack can be increased by adding chopped vegetables.
A cup of plain boiled corn is a great snacking option for evenings, especially in the rainy season. Great in taste and a good source of fibre, this can also be used as a bhel when combined with chopped veggies of one's choice.

A group of men armed with a sledgehammer and an axe have allegedly robbed a gaming bar in Adelaide's CBD.
The men entered Pulteney Pokies on Pulteney St just after 5am and threatened staff before stealing an amount of cash.
They were last seen getting into a waiting silver Holden sedan which was driven by a fourth man.
The car then drove south on Pulteney St.
All three suspects had their faces covered.
One suspect is described as 180cm tall, heavy build, about 130kg and dark complexion. He was wearing black pants, a dark grey hooded top and black sneakers.
A second suspect is described as 177cm tall, about 80kg with dark complexion. He was wearing a light grey hooded top, black pants and white shoes.
A third suspect is described as 172cm tall, about 80kg with dark complexion. He was wearing black pants and a black hooded top.
A driver is on the run after being pursued by a police helicopter through the western and northern suburbs.
The silver Peugeot sedan was first spotted on Sir Donald Bradman Drive at Adelaide Airport just before 3am on Sunday.
The driver refused to stop and was pursued through the western suburbs by patrols until PolAir took over.
The car was sighted again a short time later on Grand Junction Rd, Gepps Cross, before it was followed along Main North Rd, Kesters Rd and Wilkinson Rd.
The sedan was eventually abandoned on Maves Rd behind the Para Hills Shopping Centre.
Police cordoned off and searched the area but did not find the driver.
Investigations are continuing.
Anyone with information on either case is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at https://crimestopperssa.com.au/

Discover how a group of your peers solves the daily challenges of running an auto dealership. Watch the video to learn more.
Explore how your peers meet the challenges of their role in the automotive industry with practical steps for transitioning to a new DMS and hiring and retaining top talent. See more…
Preparing for a (Practically) Painless DMS Switch
Much of the heavy burden of implementing, training, and adjusting to new technologies within dealerships falls on the shoulders of controllers. Your unique expertise in this area was brought to light in our Controller Roundtable in 2018. Below are just a few of the insights shared from our panel of experts. Download the guide to dive deeper and discover tips and helpful advice from your peers.
Get everyone in the dealership, from leadership down, on the same page with weekly check-ins and status updates. A big change is coming and your entire dealership needs to be on the same team.
You don't have to do it all! Make sure each department is responsible for getting ready and providing status checks prior to the switch.
Making a big technology change can have a huge impact on your culture, especially when people don't have a way to voice their concerns. Make sure everyone is being heard.
Your new DMS provider should be there every step of the way to address your specific concerns.
Once you flip the switch, your partners should be available for continued progress checks, learning; and monitoring. Ongoing learning and career development continues to impact retention and your dealership's profitability—now and in the long run—so, don't overlook this critical step. Dealertrack DMS is committed to bridging the gap between technology and customized, comprehensive training for our partners. The new Lifetime Learning Portal lets everyone in the dealership learn their way with access to peer-to-peer support, online education, and event-based training.
5 Steps to Reduce Turnover in the Auto Industry
Top performing dealerships are more likely to provide formal training to their employees (57 percent versus 40 percent of the poor performers).
Those annual reviews should really be daily reviews. If you're not checking in with your team, and making sure you have a good culture, a once-yearly check-in is too-little, too-late.
Throw out those personality tests. Van Horn Auto Group's controller, instead, ensures that at least two managers interviews every candidate. It doesn't work every time, but your dealership should establish trust among the team to make good decisions.
Hiring comes down, ultimately, to cost. Are you looking at the cost of separation, replacement, training, new employee productivity?
Everything within your dealership should be on the table: compensation, hiring, paid leave, and even employee ownership.
Ready to go beyond the surface? Get the full Controllers' Roundtable Guide and become the master of your dealership's DMS (and beyond!) today.

Bytox Hangover Patch
- 147158
The vitamin B complex as well as many other nutrients are rapidly depleted from the body due to the diuretic effect of alcohol. The loss of these nutrients adversely affects the central nervous system, which creates the condition we all know as the "the hangover." The BytoxTM Hangover Patch can help replenish these nutrients, thus potentially assisting the body in restoring its natural balance.
Apply one BytoxTM Hangover Patch at least 45 minutes before consuming alcohol.
- Remove the patch from its packaging; hold the patch by the corner.
- Apply it to a dry and hairless area on your body. (Please note that when using the patch on a regular basis, apply it to different areas on the body.)
- Keep the patch on for at least 8 hours after you've stopped consuming alcohol, without exceeding 24 hours. In the meantime, stay hydrated.
- The patch will firmly stay on. To take it off, wet the patch with warm water, then gently pull each corner and peel towards the middle. Do not yank of pull the skin!
The BytoxTM Hangover Patch contains the vitamin B complex as well as many other nutrients that are essential in helping your brain and body function on a day-to-day basis. The Bytox patch is safe, as it contains all-natural and organic ingredients made in the U.S.A.
- Acai Berry 20mg, Vitamin A 1mg, Vitamin B12 1000mcg, Vitamin B2 1.7mg, Vitamin B3 19mg, Vitamin B5 5mg, Vitamin B6 2mg, Folic Acid 4000 mcg, Vitamin D 5mcg, Vitamin E 10mg, Vitamin B1 150mg, Green Tea Extract 10mg. Inactive Ingredients: Acrylic Copolymer Adhesive. The Patch does not contain latex.

The Corpse Played Dead by Georgina Clarke doesn't release until August, but I just couldn't wait to tell everyone how much this series is impacting me so far. Book 2 in the Lizzie Hardwicke series and it's already shaping up to be one of my favorites. Below is the Top 5 Reasons why I loved The Corpse Played Dead.
1. Lizzie Hardwick is a harlot.
I'm a sucker for unconventional heroines and Lizzie Hardwicke had me from the very beginning. She's as unconventional as they come and it's a lot of fun reading about someone who doesn't really have the "hero/heroine" qualities.
"I am not averse to flattery. This is a serious flaw in my character and I really should excise it."
Don't worry though. Her profession is not always in the forefront and does not go into much detail.
2. Georgian Era
I don't get to read a lot of historical fiction novels set in this time period. What with the men wearing powdered wigs and all it's hard to feel romantic about that. But it works well with murder and mystery. Also, the atmosphere tends to revolve around the lower class citizens which makes for a more grittier read.
3. Undercover Shenanigans
Lizzie foregoes her bawdy house to play a little undercover detective at the Drury Lane theater as a seamstress. Her little white lies to the inhabitants does go a little too far and it puts Lizzie in danger quite a few times. So the added drama of her being in disguise it quite thrilling. It was also funny to read the dialogue between Lizzie and her fellow harlot acquaintances when they help her put together her disguise. Fun times indeed.
4. Amateur Sleuthiness
Yes, I understand that sleuthiness is not a real word. The fact that Lizzie is in fact an amateur sleuth slash harlot really is the perfect combo. She's not really good at it, but I love that in the end, it all works out.
5. Drury Lane Theater
The setting is what really made this fun. I could almost smell the mustiness of the dressing rooms and the dark hallways. The first murder really put in perspective the dangers and pitfalls to any theater set. That death was the perfect dramatic scene and frankly I did not feel sorry for the victim.
Overall, this was a quick, fast paced read for me. Lizzie Hardwicke is really pushing her way to the top of my favorite characters list.
Other Reviews in Series
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
The Corpse Played Dead
'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players…'
When an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate sees prostitute Lizzie Hardwicke trade Ma Farley's Bawdy House in Soho for life as a seamstress the theatre on Drury Lane, it becomes clear quite quickly - what goes on in the wings is much more intriguing than the theatrics being played out on stage…
Soon Lizzie is once again thrown together with the handsome Inspector Will Davenport when a high profile investor is brutally hanged at centre stage and Lizzie discovers the body. With the suspect list rivalling any casting call, Lizzie will have to use every trick she's hidden up her sleeves to unravel the tangled threads and bring the culprit into the spotlight.

Humans of Ann Arbor
"Scuba diving is what made me first get into marine biology. I went scuba diving for the first time in Lake Michigan. First, we had to put tons of gear on. We had to waddle across the road, go down some steps, and then walk into the lake. It was really cold, but my first breath underwater was really surreal. You don't know what's going on, you're like 'I'm breathing underwater!' It's just really amazing. One time we did a shark dive, and they had three tuna heads that they put in this cage, and then they opened the cage, and there were suddenly forty sharks. But I feel kind of invincible when I have a wet suit on."

The fourth industrial revolution is here, driven by the rapid introduction of diverse and disruptive technologies, creating enormous opportunities for businesses to create competitive advantages with innovative products, services, business models and ways of engaging with customers.
Forty-four percent of large enterprises have an enterprise-wide digital vision and strategy, but 35% have them only within individual business units, according to the latest Harvey Nash / KPMG 2016 CIO Survey. Without a strong leader to drive an enterprise-wide digital business vision and strategy there is a high risk that function owners may pursue initiatives independently. Those might lead to some quick wins but will ultimately saddle the organization with redundant solutions and disjointed data.
CIOs are well-positioned to organize and lead digital transformation. Learn in this paper about six "big bets" that CIOs must consider now to position their organizations to be digital-ready, so as to innovate and remain relevant.

Five pupils and three staff were in Shop Street last Friday afternoon collecting money for Special Olympics. This was part of the nationwide annual collection. The public gave generously to the collection and it is heartening to see how much support there is out there for the Special Olympic movement.
The next event is in Sligo on May 15th when we will be competing in Track & Field events. Karen is busy training the athletes at the moment and is availing of any opportunity when it is dry to go to Dangan for practice. Check out the Special Olympic page for photos.

My name is Hanway, i live in Malmö sweden. I am 21 years old and am currently studying economics, am at year 2 of 4. Going to take a small break to study something different to see whether i've chosen the right way.
I originally joined Rage3D cause i had just gotten my Radeon 8500 card and had questions about it and this was the only forum i found that seemed to have the competence to help me.
I started folding for Rage3D because i wanted to help Rage3D and the cause. Well at the beginning it was mainly for the competition and Rage3D, but as time went on it's changed to a subtle balance between the competing spirit and the well being spirit.
I would consider helping assist a few projects if needed. But that would have to depend on the size of the project and the circumstances in my life at the time.
I still fold for Rage3D since it's the forum i visit the most with a wide range of areas on the board.
The members here are also quite nice and it motivates one to stay here
In the past i've recruited a few members but most of them has stopped now for various reasons, my former most strongest recruit has been over run by a friend of mine who is steadily helping Rage3D now
My current active recruits:
My current inactive recruits:
Not sure if i've forgotten anyone.
Wow this reminds me of the 0,8pt/wu days
Ah well, time to wake up the recruits one way or another. And to bring some new in.

junglist1996 reporting for duty sir!
Real name is Kevin. Currently living in Hong Kong and working in a small corporate finance firm specialized in small-cap HK IPO's and financial advisory services for HK listed companies. Being in a company w/o in house IT, I have the privilege of installing [email protected] on the server and a couple of other PC's @ work. Due to my erratic work hours, getting wasted far too often, and returning to school for the AICPA (hopefully getting qualified by the end of 2006), I'm afraid that I'll not be able to make further contributions such as getting involved in the team's projects.
I originally joined R3D for overclocking tips on a 9600 Pro. Exactly 1 year ago (first WU submitted on 24 June 2004), I started folding for TR3D partly because I believe if I maintain my current lifestyle, misfolds within my own self will happen someday.
In the next couple of months, I'd like to see TTR become the Doodyheads. In a year's time, I'd like to see us maintaining 200,000PPD ex-How???. I don't think we can continue to rely on How??? for almost half of our PPD. Not sure if this has been suggested or implemented already. I was thinking maybe we can add a checkbox in the registration page of the forum so that newcomers can choose to receive an e-mail or something describing the whole folding thing.

Hi, I'm Travis. I joined the forum to complain when ATi screwed up the TV-out on my Radeon 7500 by releasing the 3-series Catalysts. I kind of like the place so I've been lurking around here ever since.
I'm folding 2 boxes (OC'd A64 (754) 3000+, stock AXP 2000+) for Team R3D for reasons beyond my comprehension. The front-page brainwashing campaign worked, I guess. Actually, this is the only site/forum I'm a regular of that has an active Folding team and recruiting campaign.
Of course, with all of the moving I've been doing lately, a downgrade to my internet connection, and a recent vacation, my production was way down but it should be evening itself out now.
I don't have any particular individual or team goals, just to use my idle processor cycles for something other than heating my home. It is fun to follow the points n' subteams and stuff, though. So, yeah, proud to be a semi-active member of one of the world's top folding teams.

I started back when the team first started.
I had already been folding, and changed to join this team when it started.
I don't remember why, probably because I hung out here alot.

I'm Charles, folding for Team Rage3D. At this time, I have a dual P3 600MHz desktop at work folding 24/7. My home boxes (Athlon 64 3000+, Athlon XP 2600+, and Sempron 2800+) all fold when they're actually on. Later this month I'll be adding an Athlon 64 3500+, which will be running more full-time since I'll be using it at work.

I also double as the computer trouble-shooter for all of the students. I unpaid for this work, so in exchange for my labor, I install [email protected] During the school year, I have 50+ boxes folding for me. Right now, I'm quite a bit less. I live in San Diego with my new wife. I've been folding for 4 years now. I first started folding for R3D tweak when I had a brand spanking new 8500 128meg. But things really took off when I borged all of the library and computer lab computers 2 years ago. Since then, IT reimages nightly. But now I have the prolitariate folding for me. I'm 29 (for a month longer *sigh) and love folding.

My name is Robert, I am the System Administrator and Volunteer Coordinator for reBOOT Canada, a charity that takes in donations of computer equipment, refurbishes them, and sends them out to charities and non-profit organizations across Canada. I'm currently folding using only my home computers - 3x 3.06GHz P4 w/Hyperthreading (one part-time as it belongs to the wife), 1x 2.8GHz P4, 1x 2.0GHz P4, 1x Semperon 3000+, and 2x AthlonXP 1700+. Got an AthlonXP 2000+ and an AthlonXP 1800+ to build up and add to the farm, as soon as I get another KVM. In the meantime I'm scraping up all the RAM I can find to see if I get those super-huge WU and the bonus points

My name is Chris, and I've been visiting this site since I got my Radeon 9000 a few years ago. Right now, I'm running [email protected] on my 2.6GHZ Athlon 64. Within the next 2 weeks, I should have a 1.2ghz P3 and an Athlon 3000+ up and running as well. I'm trying to get my friend Orin(who is the graphics artist at Delsyd) to join up.
Delsyd Software is a tiny game development company that Orin and I started back in 1997. I've done a bit of custom software for people, but we haven't released a game yet.
One project is almost done, and another is in the works. Once the first project is done and selling(hopefully), I plan to add some more computers to the folding effort. Let me tell you, trying to make a commercial quality game is a pain in the butt.

I'm Martin, and I'm from Madrid, Spain. I've just finished my medicine studies and now I'm a neurosurgery resident at a hospital here in Madrid. I joined Rage3d some years ago when I bought an ati radeon. It was in the Rage3d page where I first read about [email protected], and I thought it was a great way of contributing to medical investigation! I check the forums from time to time although usually I don't post any comment. I had stopped folding for some time and I started again this year when I bought a new Athlon 64 3500+ and then read about the Tech Report challenge!
I think that the subteams idea is great because it encourages people to fold more and more. I see team rage3d raising in the rankings in the next years, because there are lots of "sleeping" folders, like I was some months ago, and we'll leave a trace of doodyheads behind us he he he... (that will mean more work for us surgeons!!)
Todos a plegar!!!! (I think that would be a way of saying "let's fold" in spanish...)

I started folding when I noticed some references to folding in people's signatures. I got curious, and downloaded [email protected] So, yeah, signatures do get noticed!
I have no intention in taking a leading role, but I'm looking forward to some sub-team competition.

I just added my 6 computers
I changed from seti mostly because of bionc having problems, folding is a bit more stable, and the team project seems like fun. I had over 8000 work units and they liked to erase it. So I just added 6 computers (Approx 13.6 GHZ)to folding.
They have some good graphics cards too (a multiplayer setup) and I was looking into using them for the team.
Anyone get the graphics card working for us yet?
We are climbing fast in the race!! but to be in the top 3 teams (#4 won't be TOO difficult if we are gaining this fast) we need to use our Graphics Power!

Stanford has been working on a GPU client for some time now and, while we don't know any specific timeframe, its sounding like a sure thing.
Oh, and there is a BOINC client in the works too. It won't replace the current clients, but will simply be one more alternative.

I don't know really. I stumbled upon it while browsing R3d and decided to install it. It looked pretty cool and I'm easily amused. But then again I'm a networker. We get amused by things that blink and have power. Those folding molecules are no different
What is your vision of Rage3D one year from now?
I see, next year, Rage3D at 1st place.
What would you like to see?
See previous question
How will YOU help us reach that goal?
I'm going to try to get in as many computers as I can folding for R3D. all i gotta do is get my lappy and convince my brother and step brother to join.

I've learned about folding simply by browing the front page of the site, and decided to contribute. I've just breezed through the setup without paying attention to instructions, but it seems fine so far. I just cannot seem to play games at the same time as the folding but it is a small inconvenience. Looking forward to build a 2nd system out of some salvaged parts.
Keep on folding guys.

Welcome to the team guys!
The only thing as dangerous as taking hydroxychloroquine is listening to someone who is taking hydroxychloroquine. Therein lies the road to madness.

Is there anything better than sparkly animals in picture books? Stanley is a goldfish and one of the brightest, sparkliest fish in the sea. One morning he wakes up late and finds that all his friends are gone. Where could they be? Off he goes to catch up with them and along the way he meets a lobster, bumps into a pearl, and suddenly finds himself face to face with a shark. He feels a bit abandoned by his school until they all show up excited to see him and he feels that he hasn't been forgotten after all. It's important to feel you belong!
