Show Notes:
1. Fitbit Sleep Tracking [1:35]
Jay says:
G'Day Robb, love your work. I took a break from your podcast to learn computer programming and am now back because I'm stressed and my desk bound body is broken. Glad to be back and see you've figured out your keto problems when bonking during class. I've signed up to your keto master class so fingers crossed.
I have a somewhat basic question about sleep.
My Fitbit says I slept 7 hours with 1 hour awake. I don't remember waking and there are up to 30 a night of these tiny 'awake' periods. I do sometimes toss and turn to get into comfortable positions. My partner says I'm asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow. So I think I'm sleeping ok.
Should I think about this as 8 hours sleep or 7? I tend to wake up energised when my Fitbit says 6hrs 30 mins + 1 hour awake.... So thinking this is equivalent to standard 7-8 hours per night. When I push for Fitbit to say 8 hours then I'm very lethargic when I wake. But it's probably then like 9 hours which could be 'over sleeping' for me.
Anyway, love the work you two are doing. I miss the Q&As with Greg but love the new format.
Anyway, fangirling from Australia. My question can probably be answered by Google but I'm sure you'll be able to cut through the interjunks.
All the best - Jay
2. Palate Fatigue & Food Burnout [8:11]
Maria says:
Hi, Robb and Nikki, I was wondering if you can address palate fatigue. For some reason, I tend to be the kind of person that needs to have a lot of something and then don't want it anymore and have to switch. Before, I was into avocados and sardines, all the time, and now it is eggs and bacon. It is almost as if my body is asking for these foods at certain times. Thank you!
3. Protein Toxicity and the Carnivore Diet [12:22]
Jesse says:
Hey Robb,
In WTE you briefly mention (p. 27) that humans cannot consume more than 35% of their calories from protein before suffering from protein toxicity. The carnivore diet has recently gotten some publicity and seems to have some anecdotal success for folks with stubborn autoimmunity issues. Do you think following a carnivorous diet carries a high risk of suffering from protein toxicity? And would we be able to look for evidence of protein toxicity in kidney function testing?
4. Waking Up From Hunger While In Ketosis [17:55]
Justin says:
Dear Robb,
I'm a huge fan of the pod and your work.
For the past two months, I've been following a keto eating plan (I weigh all food and track macros - I'm usually hitting 40g net carbs, 90-100g protein, and somewhere between 235g-270g fat, for a total of roughly 3,000-3,500 calories per day). I'm a 30 y/o male, 5'9. I usually eat 3-4 meals/day with no snacks. I currently weigh 156lb and am about 16% body fat (I did a BodPod when I was a few pounds lighter and was at 14.5%). In terms of exercise, I usually go to the gym 3x/week and do some combination of squats, deadlifts, press, and bench press. As an example of where I'm currently at with strength, I do 4 sets of 5 repetitions (2 min rest periods) 205 pounds on squats.
My question is this: when I try to cut calories down by 300-500 (I'd like to get to 12% body fat), I wake up in the middle of the night hungry. I feel like I keep hearing on various podcasts and books that I read that in a state of keto, hunger should be significantly blunted and this shouldn't really be an issue. But I feel like if I don't go to sleep pretty full, I wake up in the middle of the night. I know sleep is critically important, so this seems like a problem. If I eat enough to sleep through the night, I can maintain the same weight but really struggle to lose weight. I've done self-experiments to make sure I'm not waking up due to stress, noise, etc., and have isolated that my sleep is almost completely correlated with my hunger levels. I wanted to ask for your guidance because I imagine other people might struggle with a similar issue - I know many people who do well with hunger during the day, but not so well at night. Some things I've wondered about is if I'm overtraining or if there's some sort of other physiological issue I need to attend to. Maybe I'm not understanding keto properly, but I feel like with my macro breakdown I should be able to comfortably go 12-16 hours without eating? Or, is the ability to go prolonged periods without food less about eating and more about individual differences?
Thanks for all of the amazing work that you do.
5. Fasting For Skinny Dudes [23:50]
Brett says:
Hi. Robb and Nicki...
Fasting for overweight or normal weight people has been well covered. Is there any benefit to underweight guys fasting in an effort to add mass? I'm 6'3" and 165lbs, 37 years old. I can eat whatever I want in whatever quantities I want and my weight never changes. I would like to be heavier. I've tried weight programs and I tone up ok but it's rare to add more than 5lbs. The minute I stop the program I'm instantly back to 165. Everything else you always talk about like diet, sleep, stress is already dialed in

Show Notes:
1. Endurance Fueling For A Keto Athlete [2:00]
Cassandra says:
Dear Robb + Nicki,
First off...thanks for the great job you two do in making complicated nutrition and fitness information easy to access and understand (even for uneducated gym rats like myself). I've been listening to the podcast for years, reading the blog and the books (just got Wired to Eat) and I still find myself learning something new almost weekly.
Bottom line up front - how do you guys recommend tackling post-workout nutrition for endurance / high-intensity sports while on the keto train?
I'm 35, 5'8'', 155 lbs with a fairly muscular build. I've been doing the Crossfit + weightlifting thing for 5-6 years now (4-6 times a week). I've got 10 strict pull ups, a 250 lb 1 RM back squat, a 285 1RM DL and can hold an L-sit for a minute....so I think I'm pretty strong(?) - in some aspects anyway ... Strict bedtimes at 8:30 every night with 8 hours of sleep, no injuries, no severe reactions to any type of food (except tequila) - BUT I perform and look a lot better when I'm strict about paleo. I've been eating that way and it has been keeping me fueled really well in the aforementioned training situations.
Due to the nature of my job - active duty Marine, I am required to run a 5k every year for time...so I do incorporate running into my weekly routine - usually no more than 15-20 miles a week...long-ish runs mixed with hill sprints or pushing sleds so I don't die of cardio boredom.
Within the past year - - due to losing a bet or being shamed into them (I can't quite remember), I've also been running a few half marathons and one marathon. I plan do to one more full later this year, the Rock n Roll in Las Vegas - mostly because its an excuse to travel to Vegas with some girlfriends of mine. The low-carb/paleo diet has been awesome for my health on the weightlifting/crossfit/sprinting side of things... but I'm struggling with the endurace side of my fitness.
For my runs more than 90 minutes, I've been fueling with some organic stinger chewies/gels near the end of my run and then other, whole-food-type carbs at the end....bananas, berries, coconut water...sometimes gatorade, (an occasional beer :)), etc. My recovery has been OK...not awesome though (and when I take out the mid-run or end carbs, my energy tanks and my joints hurt for days)..... it takes me about me 1-2 days to get through my soreness for half marathons and almost 5 days for a run more than 22 miles WITH the intra and post-carbs.
I've recently jumped on the keto train in January...did your masterclass, read Mark Sisson's book, started listening to a lot of low-carb / keto based podcasts (Shawn Baker, Fat Burning Man, etc) and just started Wired to Eat. I've been trying to do my own homework and listen to my body...so far this keto thing has been great! I've dropped about 10 lbs since the beginning of the year, have been sleeping a lot better and have seen gains in my strength. But the race season starts up in May (the LV Marathon is in November but I have smaller races and training runs scheduled throughout the summer) and I want to be prepared.
I *think* I'm generally fat-adapted...but I panic after 8 or 9 miles sometimes (the old advice of "carb loading" always creeps back in) and will suck down a terrible gel or gatorade because I've made the mistake of running these distances underfueled before and it was a painful, painful lesson. I have heeded your electrolyte advice. I constantly track my sodium, magnesium and potassium levels and take the recommended supplements almost every day (normally on days with a taxing WOD or a workout lasting more than 90 mins).
So what can I eat/drink to keep on the keto train that will help me recover and keep me going on some of these endurance events? Nut butters? Whey protein and water? I want to be armed when I take on Vegas this year and not completely derail my eating habits. And I'd like to start experimenting with these foods now, while I still have time to adjust.
Sorry for writing the novel! If I can find this info in a podcast or in one of the chapters of your books, please feel free to point me in that direction! I appreciate any insight you guys have. Thanks in advance,
2. Should I Add Fat To My Whey Protein Shake? [10:40]
Ben says:
Love the podcast (I am one of the six listeners)! Here is my question:
I am wondering if the insulin-spike from a post-workout whey shake can stall my weight loss. Should I add fat like heavy cream or coconut milk to the shake to blunt the insulin response (if yes how much) or am I unable to burn that fat because of the spiked insulin storing it as body fat instead.
Thank you so much and best wishes from Munich, Germany
3. Portal Circulation and Leaky Gut [14:36]
James says:
Hi Robb,
Thanks for your detailed answer to my question about sun exposure in Q&A #7. You provided a clear and concise answer which is hard to come by these days!
Following your book recommendations in Q&A #6 I hungrily delved into the Lecture notes on Human Metabolism (Thanks Nikki!) and within the first chapter encountered some information that gave me reason to pause.
The portal circulation, I'm certain that you can provide a more accurate and concise explanation of this system to your listeners than I can in this question, so I'll leave that to you if that's okay!
My question is: given that all blood (and therefore solutes) from the intestines are drained through the portal vein and through the liver - filtering out excess substrates and removing toxins such as ammonia from the blood before it enters 'general circulation', how can leaky gut have such a damaging effect on the body? It seems to me that the liver is a vital backstop in this process which is never mentioned when functional medicine practitioners talk about leaky gut - they give the impression that blood drains from the intestines straight into cardiovascular circulation and these fuel substrates are clanking around in our arteries causing inflammation which seems not to be the case!
Also how does this impact the gut hypothesis of heart disease (highly simplified here) where endotoxin is said to pass through the mucosal membrane into circulation, binding with LDL cholesterol, being attacked and immobilized by immune cells and ultimately ending up being sequestered into an arterial plaque because the immune system cannot destroy cholesterol or unbind the endotoxin from it.
Would the portal circulation not remove this endotoxin from the blood before it enters cardiovascular circulation and meets LDL particles? Is this disease process driven not only by a compromised intestinal lining but also by inefficient liver function?
Thank you for your time again guys, really appreciate your input
Kind Regards
4. Do I Have To Sprout My Nuts & Seeds? [20:10]
Joseph says:
Is phytic acid harmful or of benefit? Is it really necessary to jump thru the hoops of soaking & sprouting before consuming nuts & seeds? thank you
5. Caloric Estimate for Young Children? [25:10]
Rory says:
Is there an estimate for calories/pound when it comes to feeding my almost 3 year old (or any child for that matter, say 2-12? The teen years of course marking the onset of self-consciousness and peer pressure, thus thwarting any biological hard-wiring toward survival.)
Or is she still young enough to be biologically incapable of starving herself, at which point I should just trust that she has normally functioning satiety signals?
I ask specifically about my daughter because, as is par for the course in 'Murica, she received antibiotics immediately after being born, so it's not a stretch for me to imagine that she could have some kind of gut imbalance that could cause hormone dysregulation with her leptin/ghrelin.

Show Notes:
1. Overeating On Keto [2:08]
Steve says:
Hi Rob,
I don't want to take too much of your time. But going Keto for me has found me doing exactly what I feared I could do. I have been Paleo for five or six years and so has my wife. We have no kids at home so grains and junky carbs are not and issue or even a temptation. I am in the middle of doing the keto masterclass, which I am savouring because I have been making some mistakes.
I am 50 years old and work out regularly doing either mixed kettlebell workouts or if I do weight and resistance training at the moment I like to do whole body workouts 3 X a week and can mix in some cardio in between. I have kept fit most of my life, my goal is as I age to stay lean and keep mobile. Pretty simple goal.
We live in Perth in Western Australia so we have great weather and lots of sun. I work as a gardener in a private school, a job I love doing as I'm outside and moving all day, not as hard as say some sort of construction worker but that can happen on a given day just not every day.
Coming from eating paleo the transition for me has been pretty easy. As I went low carb and increased the fat I was eating my wife liked the sound of it so she hopped on board. She is doing great and in fact better than me. We aren't really that worried about measuring ketones at this stage, it has been more about getting the diet right.
My issue is, I love the food. For some reason it has made me hungrier. Stocking our fridge and cupboards I made sure that we had all we needed and I wanted to see what I liked to eat also.
So I have blown it on all sorts of things. I have had days where I ate too much thickened cream, one tub has 800 calories and it is so easy to eat. I have blown it on nut butter and blown it on cheese. I can't believe it.
At first it was wrapping my head around the fat content. I think I get it now. But I have put on body fat, which is so annoying. It's not a train wreck but I feel like I am in a rut now and it's hard to get out. I don't want to quit because I can see and have felt the benefits. It's just with the fat content and my physiology there seems to be no room for error.
I listen to your podcast and since listening I have gone to the ketogains website and worked out my macros. I was still tracking somewhat but some days I may have blown it by 5 or 6 hundred calories.
I have come so close to quitting as for me it seems to have been an easy way to get fat rather the leaner.
I'm not sure that you can help and not sure what else that I could tell you. Diet wise I have intermittent fasted for 3 or more years with differing protocols. Doing 16 - 20 hours is pretty comfortable. I workout in the mornings and often don't eat until lunch time or when I get home from work.
My diet hasn't changed too much except I have eaten cream, which I am now over. Adding more fat to my meals. Cooking in butter eating nuts and doing other keto style things. Apart from that my diet is still pretty primal. I love veggies. I have for years done a version of Mark Sisson's big ass salad. Which would be my daily staple. Evening veggies could be broccoli with brussel sprouts maybe some Kale and mushrooms. Also we do milk Kefir but I try to keep that to a minimum.
If you have any suggestions that would be great. Are there others that have had this sort of issue, going keto has made them fatter?
Really enjoy your podcast and thanks for all of the really useful info that you have put out. I have also read your books.
Best regards
2. What's Up With Fiber & Kids? [8:58]
Rory says:
As part of restoring my own gut health, I've used prebiotic fibers in various doses based somewhat on Grace Liu's advice, and I'm curious if and when supplemental fiber would be beneficial for my daughter?
Again assuming that she started off at a disadvantage because of the antibiotics, it seems to follow logically that prebiotic fiber would help her gut bacteria develop, and increase her overall health and resilience.
Is that actually logical?
And are there any cautions? Is there a certain dose that's age-appropriate, or do I just slowly increase until she has digestive upset?
Should I mix fibers in order to feed a variety of bacteria, or are there certain fibers that are optimal for a young gut (i.e. what would a cavebaby be most likely to eat chew on for fun?).
3. Tips For Increasing Testosterone [13:07]
Mads says:
Hey Robb,
In a previous Q&A, you talked about how muscle gain/hypertrophy is caused by calorie surplus and progressive overload. You also mentioned that gaining muscle is, without a doubt, easier if you have High testosterone. Calorie surplus and PO is easy, but how do I increase my testosterone? You mentioned that there are a number of different tactics that you can use?
My testosterone is not low, but definitely not high either. I'm 27 and my testosterone is 640 ng/dL and my free testosterone is 16.36
4. SHBG Elevated On Keto/Carnivore [19:47]
Eoin says:
Since switching to keto I've noticed an increase in SHBG levels which brings down my free test. Total test has stayed high normal but was wondering how functional it is with the free portion bound up. DHEA is a bit low too. I feel great all in all but was just wondering what your thoughts are on that
5. Are Chicharrones (pork rinds) a Healthy Snack? [22:47]
Isaac says:
Hi Rob,
Chicarones (pork rinds): are they a healthy snack?
I've heard you indirectly mention them on the podcast some time ago, but I wasn't able to infer whether your opinion is favorable or cautionary.
I'm an ultra-runner, and during peak training season will spend about 20 hours per week running. In the bad old days I would top off my calories with a gigantic bowl of cold cereal in the evening, or an enormous serving of lentils and rice. But then I got woke, started monitoring my blood sugar, and started looking for low-carb options to fuel. I'm already having two salads each day, huge amounts of veggies, and as much meat as I can stomach. So I'm just looking for some calories to fuel the movement.
So are pork rinds okay? I avoid the flavored variety - the bags I buy just say "fried pork skin" on the ingredients list, and I dip them in sour cream. The best part is how easy it is to get an extra 1000 calories. And the flavor.
Am I headed towards clogged arteries? Are pork rinds actually healthy in the way that bacon is healthy...?
Thanks!! Love the show.
After submitting my question about whether pork rinds are an acceptable snack, I realized that Robb's answer might be 'we'd need to see your lab work'...
So, in case it is relevant (and in case my question is selected for the show), here are some details. (I'd be glad to share the rest of the lab results, if they're relevant.) Thanks!

Love crows! Very cute video. They are so smart and very family-oriented. I was driving through my neighbourhood a while back and came across a dead crow on the side lawn of a house, with its mate standing over the body, cawing. I pulled over to check to make sure the the crow was indeed dead (it was) and not just injured. Up in the tree above the two was a small group of other crows. It was like they were showing respect for the fallen buddy. It was very touching.ReplyDelete
That is brilliant, thanks for sharing. Amazing watching it work out the best place to sled. Yup, wings are definitely a bonus. We get a quite a number of crows, jackdaws and magpies here; great view of them from the back window, and their cawing is what usually wakes me nowadays, which I quite enjoy.ReplyDelete
Read a really good book about corvids a while ago (don't think I got around to reviewing it) called 'Corvus: A Life With Birds' by Esther Woolfson, about the various corvids and sundry birds she ended up rescuing up in Scotland.
of course, you know I LOVE this!!!!!!ReplyDelete

Smart and knows how to have fun... love it! :DReplyDelete
That's pretty funny!ReplyDelete
Fascinating. I've been thinking of writing a post about the "crow couple" that hang out with my herd. Whenever I lead a horse out of the barn, the crows make clip-clop sounds in time with the horse's feet striking the ground. I have started talking to them, and so now every time they see me, they make a ruckus to see what I'm going to say.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, that was soooo cool! I just love it!! I've always heard that they were very smart, but obviously they have a sense of humor and a love of play too. I always think that we humans are quite arrogant to believe that we're the only beings to be so much more than what's seen on the surface.ReplyDelete
Fascinating and amusing. Thank you so much for sharing this. Happy New Year and warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.ReplyDelete
It's so nice of you to take the time to visit. I appreciate your stopping by and commenting on what I've written. Even though I sometimes don't have the time to reply to each comment, I do enjoy reading them.

New 'Men in Black' Movie Almost Featured This Liberal Talking Point
When a film crashes at the box office a curious phenomenon take place. And quickly, mind you.
Hollywood news sites pounce, detailing why the film in question tanked in the first place. Insiders who might have stayed quiet had the movie thrived all of a sudden have plenty to say.
For Dark Phoenix, that meant chaotic behind-the-scenes tales tied to that X-flop.
Now, it's Men in Black: International's turn.
The film, a reboot/sequel/offshoot of the original trilogy, scored an anemic $30 million over the weekend. That's a little more than half what Men in Black 3 made seven years ago.
Let the second-guessing commence. And it did, specifically with a brutal account published June 17 at The Hollywood Reporter.
It's an eye-opening look at the troubled project. The script endured a series of rewrites. The film's leads took their turns tweaking dialogue to their liking. The director, F. Gary Gray of Straight Outta Compton fame, tried to bolt the project.
In a way, it's a miracle it made $30 million – and, of course, $73 million overseas.
The THR post mortem starts with a script described by several insiders as more than respectable. How else could you lure stars like Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth, last seen tangling in Thor: Ragnarok.
What was all the fuss about?
Early drafts of the script were described as being edgier and more timely, tying the story to the current debate surrounding immigration. At one point, a music group a la The Beatles were to be the bad guys, with four people merging into one villain.
Now, we don't technically know which side of the immigration debate the film would fall upon. Would the Men, and Women, in Black demand open borders, or a big, beautiful wall?
Anyone betting on the latter probably doesn't have any spare cash at this point. And it wouldn't come as a shock, either. Indie films routinely wear their progressive messages on their sleeve. The recent zom-com The Dead Don't Die took clumsy swings at both fracking and the current Commander in Chief.
Small screen stories routinely argue for open-border policies. Shows like the new Twilight Zone, the rebooted Roswell, New Mexico and ABC's For the People.
It shouldn't shock anyone a mainstream film like Men in Black: International might do the same. It leaves one nagging question, though.
Why remove a theme pre-approved by Hollywood, Inc.?
Was it part of a behind-the-scenes power play? A quirk of the rewrites? Or, did the studio heads realize the narrative might be lost overseas, where franchises often make the most coin?
Either way, it won't be the last lesson Hollywood delivers on immigration.

This is a short story that was written by myself for Survive Stormont, it details a narrative event that some players and staff were a part of, though was later written out of the core lore. - Emily
The Church of Death
Late last night an ominous letter was set from the infamous Puppeteer. He called all who were brave enough to attend The Church of Death for a service that was like no other. Laid in wait were the Shadow-Walkers; their corruption controlling their every move. The people of this land sort to capture and cleanse the minions, but they decided to bring the fight to the Andorrans.
Two warriors marched into the snowy tundra, to the darkness that hummed behind the church doors. A Queen of the Andorran people and tamer of beasts, and her mighty Nordic brother, known for his prowess on the battlefield – Raven and Raen Azar. Adorned in fur and fighting off the bitter cold, the pair crossed the bridge to The Church of Death, ready to face whatever monstrosities their old friends had become.
First was Limos, the embodiment of Famine, once known as Shea White. Though small in stature, a dwarf of course, the red headed corruption challenged Raven to combat. The two danced with their sword and axe bared, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Raven was the first to cut flesh, striking Limos twice before the dance continued. However, Limos did not falter. She rushed the Nord and struck with immeasurable force, slicing right through the furs that protected him from the cold. Raven was now bare fleshed in the snow, on one of the coldest nights this land had seen for some time. He didn't concede however, fighting through the icy winds that licked his chest as he rushed the dwarf once more. Limos, cocky in her ways, did not expect the towering man to recover so quickly and was caught with a winding blow to the chest. She crumpled instantly, hitting the ground with a tremendous thud. One down, three to go.
Next was Nergal, the embodiment of Pestilence, once known as Bhalmar Silverfist. Nergal was a frightening creature, always cackling like the madness inside him would boil over at any point. Allowing Raven to recover, the Nordic Queen took to her axe, swinging it through the air as if it was but an extension of her arm. Nergal cackled as he too raised his sword, burning with a bright white light, unlike Limos' black blade. The two met toe to toe, but honour was not something Nergal knew of, much more used to playing with his poisonous toys. He slashed at Lady Raen wildly, cutting away at the thick pelt that protected her from the chilling cold. But Raen didn't falter, her training some of the finest. She kicked out with her leg, knocking Nergal flat on his ass. Without a second thought she brought her axe down, hitting the blunted side against his temple. Nergal let out a wild growl, his eyesight blackened from the blow. If it had not been for his sickly habit of all things narcotic, he would have been knocked unconscious from the attack. Nergal took his dagger, coated in malice, from his hip and thrust upward. Fortunately for Raen the blow to his head meant he missed; his vision starry. She recoiled from his attack and hastily kicked her boot at his head, rendering him useless. Two down, two to go.
Third was War, the embodiment of himself, once known as Grufyd Rocksmith. He exited the large wooden doors to The Church of Death, a soft green glow and demonic humming coming from within. His fiery red form was illuminated by the warmth of the torches at the entrance as he met the Azars on the icy battlefield. Once close friends, now War would seek to destroy the two of them in honourable combat, worthy of such heroic warriors. Still reeling, the Nordic siblings stood side by side, a blockade of immeasurable strength. Raven attacked first, laying down his axe to retrieve a bola. Raen came at War with all her strength, slashing her battleaxe down against War. It caught, slicing through his shoulder as Raven threw the bola at his feet. War was struck again, but this time his red blade lifted to meet the blow and knocked Raen aside. He may have been immobilised, but War was no easy opponent. Raen cried out as she hit the ground, jerked like a doll in the snow. Filled with protective rage, Raven drew his Viking axe from the ground, the blade glinting under the moonlight. He ran at War, with no intention of stopping. The two collided with an impact that shook for miles, knocking the air from both their lungs. Even immortal, War was only as strong as his host. The butt of Raven's axe came down then, striking War in the face repeatedly. Again and again, crimson blood flowing from War's nose. Raven was fuelled with rage, becoming an immovable object of pure fury, with War pinned under him, who had one goal – save them. But the blows did nothing to deter War from his victory; he must win the battle the others had failed to. His arm came up, blocking Raven's attack before grabbing at his throat with a vise-like grip. With no air, Raven's face became withdrawn and pale, his eyes glazing over with every second that passed. This was his end. Only War forgot one thing. Her fury. Raen, protecting the brother she loved so dear, slammed her weapon against War's head, the snow beneath now pink with blood. Suddenly War's grip faltered, and Raven could breath once again. War had been defeated. Three down, one to go.
As the pair hobbled into the warmth of The Church of Death, they were met by glowing green eyes and a voice so chilling it caused the hairs on their arms to stand proud. The Puppeteer, the embodiment of Death, stood at the altar, as if in greeting. "Such a shame," his voice echoed in the expanse of the church, a knowing glint in his glowing eyes. Raen Azar went to draw her axe once again, unsteady on her feet. Raven did the same, though he too looked inches from death. "Now is not your time, but…" The Puppeteer laughed, the room filled with a thick green fog, as he disappeared into the night, his voice echoing his goodbye. "I am inevitable."

We are at the mid-way point of the financial year, and it's the perfect time to take stock of your current situation.
Kids are going back to school, Christmas credit card bills are starting to roll in and a lot of people are finding themselves taking stock of what they want to do or achieve for the year ahead. This is the perfect time to revisit your budget and set plans in place for the remainder of the financial year.
Education budget
As a new school year begins it is important to ensure you have budgeted enough money for important expenses like school fees, but also some of the often-forgotten expenses such as new uniforms, books, stationary and also commuting costs. Does your child use public transport to get to and from school? If so this can be a major expense for families.
Remember to track your spending, review your expenses and always leave a little room to move.
Credit card payments
The Christmas and New Year period is one of the most relaxing holidays of year – at least it is supposed to be. Many of us float the Christmas consumer period through lines of credit, which is fine, if you've got a payback plan already figured out. Don't get caught in the trap that many Australians find themselves in during third financial quarter, always have a credit repayment plan in place.
Again, this can be done tracking spending which at high purchase times of year is integral. Always spend within your means and if you are taking out credit cards or loans, ensure you will be earning enough come the new year to make your repayments.
Speaking to your financial adviser can be an effective way of managing budgets and spending habits for many families and individuals. And good financial planning is about helping you afford to do what you want to do, and setting yourself up to protect your family if things go wrong.
It's a great time to review your insurances as well – just as you review your utility bills, car and health insurance, you should always look to protect what matters most – you and your family.
Our financial advisers can help you look at levels of insurance tailored to your situation and can recommend the best on the market. Get in touch today for a quick review.
Royal Commission
The Royal Commission into Banking and Financial Services is due to hand down its final findings in early February. As we eagerly anticipate the release of these findings, we acknowledge the necessity of such a diligent process.
The findings will be leading news stories and fodder for broadcasters and industry professionals alike, however it is important to remember that they are, at this stage, recommendations and not law.
This is not a time for knee-jerk reactions. We will digest and think things through based on these findings, and work with government on the best and most appropriate responses for all parties. In meantime, our advisers will remain focussed on helping our clients thrive.

Murder on the Yukon Quest Book Review
I don't read much fiction, but hey, this one's about mushing so I had to read it. I read her book Murder on the Iditarod Trail several years ago and enjoyed it, so I decided to pick this one up. It's a good old-fashioned murder mystery, but it's set during the Yukon Quest, a 1000 mile race from Whitehorse, Yukon, to Fairbanks, Alaska. The checkpoints and race info was accurate, but because it was a work of fiction, the mushers were all fictional, which was a bit unnerving. However, I took comfort that one of the dogs in the race was named Silver. That's the name of Brent Sass's lead dog. Brent has attained hero status for rescuing other mushers, and he gives all the credit to Silver.
You can see the books I've read so far (starting in 2011) here.

Love the layout. Interesting post, thanks for the great read and keep up the good work. Thanks for the review, I am going to have to check it out, lol.ReplyDelete
do you like killings in the plots? as for me, it's not pleasant for reading((ReplyDelete
I do not like books that have a lot of violence and killing in them, and I get depressed if a main character dies. However, I do like murder mysteries. They do not focus on the murder itself, but rather the investigation. I like to try to figure out who did the murder (though I'm usually wrong, LOL)ReplyDelete

Christmas Party 2014
Saturday 13 December 2014 - Filed under Events
Although missing our Chairman Jerry and his lovely wife Carole, currently on their way to New Zealand, we had a very enjoyable time today and were particularly grateful to Councillor Mick Stanley, Mayor of Ripon, for offering to act as compère in Jerry's absence. Jerry had thoughtfully provided Mick with a selection of corny jokes, which he supplemented with quite a few of his own.
The first part of the morning was taken up with a choice between decorating Christmas biscuits with Sue, playing table tennis, warming up for the pool competition under Tim's watchful eye or just chatting and making the most of the refreshments.
Once again, we were very happy to welcome mayoral parties from Boroughbridge and Pateley Bridge as well as Ripon to join in the festivities. They sportingly agreed to act as judges for Rap's Got Talent while the Mayoress of Ripon, Gill Stanley kept the score for us.
Our old friend Joy Rayden had brought along her guitar and led us in some carols as a prelude to the competition, after which members took it in turn to play, sing, dance and read poetry.
Rebekah won the Margaret Cawthorne trophy, having danced alone and also with her brother Ben.
Oliver retains the pool trophy.
After thanks and applause for everyone who had helped RAP in anyway throughout the year, the party finished with a rousing chorus of We Wish You A Merry Christmas and we'd like to wish the same to anyone who reads this post on our website.
All the photographs taken this morning can be seen by clicking on the images below.

We start with Kramnik's letter to the ACP, which was posted on Friday evening. The Classical Chess World champion wrote:
"I have followed with great attention the appearance of a new Association of Chess Professionals (A.C.P.) and I fully support its declared goal of working for a better recognition of all the chess professionals' rights. Following the Prague agreement of last year, FIDE was to create a committee that would look after the interests of the top professionals, but, alas, this committee has failed to produce any significant results so far.
Therefore, I am particularly pleased to see that this gap is now being filled by the new A.C.P., which will not only defend the interests of the strongest players but those of all chess professionals, including women players. I strongly encourage other chess professionals to join, it's high time for us to work together and improve conditions in tournaments, as they have undoubtedly taken a turn for the worse in recent years."
Chess Players United is the official site of the Association of Chess Professionals (ACP). The new association was formed to create an "effective, democratic and independent organization" for professional chess players, trainers, journalists, computer programmers, organizers, etc. The main goals of the ACP are "to protect chess players rights, to improve conditions in chess tournaments, to create a good tournament calendar and tournament formats". The ACP also strives to provide information and legal support to chess players, improving the rating system, attracting sponsors to chess and promoting chess in general.
The initiative group for the creation of the ACP consists of V. Bologan, D. Fridman, I. Glek, A. Kharlov, M. Krasenkow, J. Lautier, Y. Pelletier, A. Skripchenko, P. Tregubov. The Association is currently being constituted, its statutes are being drafted by a lawyer. They should appear on the CPU web site shortly.

From the archive: September 2006
The excesses of overtime have again prevented me from getting out this weekend, so here is another image from the catalogue of images I took with the 10D camera body. It's surprising how much more improved the new camera bodies are with increased resolution ~ a six megapixel image from the 10D is much less robust than that of the 11 megapixel mark III (which is already out-"pixeled" by newer models).
Pictured above is the popular near summer plumaged adult bonapartes gull that frequented Newbiggin, Northumberland during September 2006. Having first been seen at East Chevington on 4th it was relocated at Newbiggin on the 7th, remaining until the 29th October, moulting into winter plumage. (Birds in Northumbria, report for 2006). This was my first in Northumberland, and for the county it was the third record.
Photo-wise it was obliging, joining the other gulls in the bread-fest that was handed out by visiting birders.

Presidential Management Fellowship Application – for SIS grad students finishing degrees by August 31, 2010
Please note: Students from other AU schools should contact the school PMF representative. If you don't know who that person is, please contact Travis Sheffler in the AU Career Center: 202-885-1804.
From: Sharon K. Weiner, SIS PMF Nominating Official
RE: The Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF)
What is the PMF?
The U.S. Government's Office of Personnel Management describes the Presidential Management Fellows Program as "a stepping stone to highly visible and respected leadership positions in the federal government." This two-year full-time fellowship is a leadership development program designed to groom recent graduates for careers in federal service. The fellowship includes 80 hours of training a year, rotations with different government agencies, and accelerated promotions. Most fellows start at a Grade 9 level, and receive full federal employee benefits. After the first year, PMFs are eligible for promotion GS-11 to GS-13. Federal agencies must offer fellows a permanent full-time position upon successful completion of the fellowship. More than 90 percent of PMFs convert to regular government service at a GS-12 level or above.
Who is eligible for the PMF?
Students who will graduate from American University with an advanced degree (an MA, PhD or JD) between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010.
How well have A.U. students done in the past?
Very well, indeed! Since 2005 AU has ranked among the top five institutions for PMF finalists. SIS is also among the top schools for PMF finalists, ranking number one in some years and in the top five in other years.
How are Presidential Management Fellows selected?
To be eligible to compete for the PMF you must:
Complete your graduate degree between Sept. 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010.
Be a U.S. citizen or expect to receive citizenship before the start of the fellowship.
Be nominated by SIS
The PMF selection process is as follows:
1. The first step is to attend one of the information sessions. The AU Career office will offer an information session on Wednesday, August 26th, from 5:00-6:15 PM in the Butler Boardroom. SIS will offer three sessions, each conducted by Professor Sharon Weiner, the SIS Nominating Official for PMF. All three take place in Clark 130:
Thursday, August 27, 7:30-8:30 PM
Tuesday, September 1, 6:30-7:30 PM
Thursday, September 10, 6:30-7:30 PM
Please note: Each school at AU has its own unique competitive selection
process for the PMF. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to attend one
of the SIS information sessions. Although attendance is not required, it is
highly beneficial. If you are not able to attend one of the SIS information
sessions due to residence overseas or outside of the DC metro area, please
contact Professor Sharon Weiner (email@example.com) for information
about the PMF selection process.
2. The second step is to submit your application to the SIS competition. Applications are due by 5:00 pm, Monday, September 21, 2009. They must be submitted by email to Professor Sharon Weiner at email@example.com.
The SIS application consists of:
Although the SIS process is competitive, all interested students are encouraged to apply! You will be notified about your nomination by SIS by Friday, September 25.
3. If you are nominated by SIS, the 3rd step in the PMF application process is to submit your application on-line with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The application to OPM consists of your resume, a set of qualification questions, and a nominating form from your school. The details are:
Between Thursday, October 1 and Thursday, October 15, 2009 the PMF application will be available from OPM. You must apply on-line via a link from the PMF website: http://www.pmf.opm.gov. This link will ask you to use an Application Manager which will guide you through the process. The process is as follows:
The questions are available via the PMF application link and you are strongly encouraged to look at them in advance.
Make sure all of the necessary information is printed on this form including the vacancy announcement, your name and social security number, your degree, and the name of the SIS nominating official: Sharon K. Weiner, email@example.com.
This form must then be submitted to Professor Weiner. Please put it in her mailbox in SIS headquarters. DO NOT hand this form to Professor Weiner or put it under her office door.
Your PMF application is not complete unless Professor Weiner endorses this nomination form and submits it on your behalf.
Your nomination form is due to Professor Weiner by Friday, October 16, 2009 at noon.
Please note:
You must complete the PMF on-line application by Thursday, October 15, 2009.
You must submit your PMF nomination form to Professor Weiner by Friday, October 16, 2009 at noon.
4. The final step is to take the PMF competitive exam. All students who are nominated by SIS will be invited to take a multiple choice assessment test that evaluates their analytical problem solving ability, written communication skills, and competency in selected areas as identified by the PMF program. Note: the PMF process always places a high priority on competency in international and public affairs!
OPM will notify nominated applicants about their options for taking the assessment test, which will be offered in January 2010. The test is offered only at test sites in the United States; there are multiple options for taking the test in Washington, DC.
How can I get more information?
1. Contact Prof. Sharon K. Weiner, SIS Nomination Official, at
2. Visit the PMF web site at www. pmf.opm.gov.

CNBLUE has topped the Billboard World Albums Chart!
The band's fourth mini album "Re:BLUE" has been enjoying incredible success in Korea and Japan, and the results were good enough to top the World Albums chart.
"Re:BLUE" had over 100,000 pre-orders, and features a title track penned and composed by the leader Yonghwa, along with many other self-composed works by the CNBLUE quartet. The title of the mini-album, 'Re:BLUE', stands for 'the rebirth of a new CNBLUE'.
The mini album also snagged #22 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums.
Congratulations to CNBLUE!

Scouts to return to Thirdsden
St. Olave's will make good use of the building during the school day and after school hours for educational and co-curricular activities. We also hope that the local community will want to use it for social, artistic and learning purposes, as they have done in the past.
We welcome the involvement of local residents and hope not only that you see this as a step in the right direction but also that you will be able to use the renovated Thirdsden yourself at some time in the future.
Updates will be published below, as this Joint Community Project progresses.
12 February 2020: We have now submitted our planning application to Bromley Local Authority and will update this site with a link when the documents are available for public viewing and comments at Bromley. You may also get a letter from Bromley about the proposal inviting comments.
For information, there are a few small changes to the materials and appearance of the building and no changes to the purpose and use that were discussed at the consultation evening in October.
01 November 2019: Thurdsden Scout Hut - Draft Consultation Boards from t-sa Architects
Thirdsden Scout Hut is located on Goddington Lane and occupies the west corner of St Olave's Grammar School. Built by the Scouts in 1965, the Hut was occupied by the 3rd Orpington Scouts until 2012. Its utilitarian character is a defining feature to this day, however its humble restraint has been unappreciated in recent years as the building has come into disrepair. In 2019, t-sa were approached by St Olave's Grammar School to economically and sustainably restore and extend the 3rd Orpington Scout Group's Scout Hut for use by the scouts, local community and the school.
01 November 2019: Public Consultation - Report
01 November 2019: Concept Drawing, Rear Elevation, New Hall, view from Park Avenue
30 October 2019: Information and Consultation Event
A meeting with representatives of the School, Scouts and the Architects was held in the Great Hall at St. Olave's on Wednesday 30 October 2019. This was an opportunity to meet the team working on the project, to look at designs, questions, comments and ideas from local residents.

Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am? by Jane Haynes
|Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am? by Jane Haynes
|Category: Lifestyle
|Reviewer: Sue Fairhead
|Summary: An honest and revealing account of psychotherapy, from the point of view of both the therapist and the client. Very interesting.
|Buy? Yes
|Borrow? Yes
|Pages: 352
|Date: March 2009
|Publisher: Constable
This is a remarkable book. It gives an insight into the process of psychotherapy, both from the theoretical point of view and, more significantly, from actual conversations and sessions in the consulting room. Jane Haynes takes us through her own development as a client (although she doesn't like that word) in her own self-discovery and therapy sessions, and then into some of her consulting sessions after she qualifies as a therapist. I've always thought of this kind of thing as very American, but this book is entirely British.
I've never been in - or wished for - any kind of therapy. But I do find psychology interesting. I've read several books about modern versions of Jungian psychology, and the two conversational family therapy books by John Cleese and Robin Skynner. I had my own stereotyped ideas of what might go on in a psychotherapy consulting room, so I found it very interesting to read an individual perspective. It helped me, too, to get some idea of the kinds of problems that beset people who have therapy not just for a few months but for years, sometimes with two or three sessions per week.
The first part of the book is written, unusually, in the second person. The author writes as if addressing her own therapist, recalling some of their discussions, and the emotions she went through as she matured and began to understand herself better. She mentions the difficulties inherent in such a relationship, where any kind of physical contact is generally taboo, and where the therapist shares very little of his or her own background and personal opinions. The focus must inevitably be on the client, with the therapist enabling self-discovery, gently urging and encouraging the client to delve into the past, to remove any masks, and to have a safe place to vent. And yet it's not that simple: for trust to develop, there has to be some kind of relationship, and it doesn't always work for the therapist to be an all-wise, all-seeing but emotionless blank slate.
In the second part of the book, Jane Haynes writes about some of her own clients in the late 1990s, changing names other than when requested not to. She also describes some of what happens in her own family, including a tragedy that affected her daughter and grandchildren as well as herself. She delves, time and again, into the difficulties besetting therapists who have to decide how much of their lives to share with their clients, and whether some form of physical contact - a hug, perhaps, or a pat on the back - might actually be of help to some of them. She explores, too, the idea of erotic transference from both perspectives, both with examples and with some fairly complex theories, and delves on occasion into poetry, and a bit of Shakespeare.
It wasn't a book I could read at just a few sittings. Although I found it interesting, it was quite heavy-going in places, and I found that fifteen or twenty pages was about as much as I could handle at a time. I'm glad I have at least a slight background knowledge about Jungian archetypes, and some of the terms used in psychotherapy - mirroring, transference, and so on - or I might have struggled to understand. The language is mostly abstract, and some sentences seemed long and a little convoluted. I had to re-read several paragraphs to understand them, particularly if I was a bit tired.
Still, overall I thought it a fascinating book, one I shall probably read again in a few years. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to know a little more about how psychotherapy can help confused or hurting people. It's not an easy read, but well worth persevering.
Many thanks to the publishers for sending the book.
For more views on the effectiveness or otherwise of therapy we can recommend Shoot the Damn Dog by Sally Brampton and Cleaning Up: How I Gave Up Drinking And Lived by Tania Glyde.

Letter: Is the Roam Development a fair business deal for the town of Winter Park?
Is the Roam Development a fair business deal for the town of Winter Park?
I attended the Jan. 30 Winter Park Planning Commission meeting, which included discussion on the proposed 172- acre Final Development Plan (FDP) for Roam (a.k.a., Beaver's). I am very excited to see this development and I am in favor of the annexation. The annexation has many benefits for both the town of Winter Park and the Fraser River Development Company (FRDC). This parcel with river access, Highway 40 access, is contiguous with the National Forest, and the future southern gateway to the town is very valuable to the developer. This is an important annexation and the provisions included in the FDP should be carefully reviewed. (This document is available on the Town Web site). From my many years dealing with development from both sides of the table in growing municipalities, the FDP with Vested Rights Development Guide as currently proposed is not a fair deal for the town of Winter Park.
My major concerns are the inadequate open space, inadequate Fraser River Easement and access, vested rights for 20 years and the cost burden to the town.
The developer in his presentation indicated that 55 percent to 60 percent of the land would probably be undeveloped due to flood plain, wet lands and steep slopes. When pressed by the staff and commissioners, he backed down and only agreed to abide by the Federal Flood Plain and Wetland regulations. This may sound good, but these statements are misleading. In fact, federal regulations allow to building within the flood plain and wetlands if mitigation takes place. The reader should be aware, the FDP calls for only 4.2 percent of the development to be guaranteed open space. How much open space will be provided: 55 percent or 4.2 percent? The percentage of open space should be stipulated now, not later, and it should be more than 4.2 percent. The town should also receive more than 5.5 acres of park for Porphyry Park.
The FDP calls for an easement of only 16 feet along the east side only of the Fraser. Right now, nothing prevents development to the edge of the Fraser flood way on the west side, and the building heights can be up to 75 feet. Will we have the canyons of "17th Street, Denver" right here in the Fraser Valley? How large should the Fraser River corridor ultimately be? I think the easement should be increased.
The town should also minimize its cost risks.
Nothing in the FPD limits the cost to the town. The FDP allows changes to be at the developer's sole discretion, (not by mutual agreement) and the expenses to be paid entirely by the town. I would also like to see how much revenue the town expects to receive from the real estate development transfer fee.
This annexation will set the future of the town for the next 20 years or more. The town should require much more from the developer than what is stipulated in this document for the quality of life of its current and future residents. The town board is currently working on the final annexation agreement. However, if the FDP, which was before the planning commission on Jan. 30, is any indication of the final annexation and development agreement, I worry the town will not benefit from a fair and balanced agreement.
I would encourage others to get involved with this great project and familiarize themselves with the agreements.
Gary Behlen, Winter Park

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Wilson broke his right fibula when hit by a 103.8 mph line drive off the bat of Minnesota's Joe Mauer on Saturday night.
Wilson will not need surgery to repair the non-displaced fracture, which should heal in four-to-six weeks.
He fell to the ground after he was hit. Then he got up and attempted a warm-up pitch before leaving the game.
"Honestly, all I thought was that my foot was numb,'' Wilson said after Detroit's 10-4 loss. "At the time, all I really remember was talking to [second baseman Ian] Kinsler. He was telling me to slow down and take my time. He asked if I was going to throw a pitch, and I said, 'Yeah.' He told me again to take my time. So I backed off the mound again. I remember toeing the rubber. As soon as I got up on my backside to throw that pitch, I felt a shaky sensation, and when I drove, I felt a pop and the shooting pain.''
On Friday, Wilson's daughter broke her collarbone. Earlier this season, Wilson underwent a biopsy to remove a spot of skin cancer from his nose.
"You know, 2017 wasn't really kind to me,'' Wilson said. "But it is what it is. I'll be back next year, ready to go.''

Watch the clip 1st before reading futher….
Found anything wrong with the interview??
What if I tell you, that this person is actually there for a job interview, and was mistaken for the actual expert and drag on live TV?
Don't believe?
Read this.
Guy Goma, a graduate from the Congo, appeared on the news channel in place of an IT expert after a mix-up.
But Mr Goma, who was wrongly identified in the press as a taxi driver, was really at the BBC for a job interview.
Mr Goma said his appearance was "very stressful" and wondered why the questions were not related to the data support cleanser job he applied for.
The mix-up occurred when a producer went to collect the expert from the wrong reception in BBC Television Centre in West London.
Apperantly, they wanted to interview Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net. End up, they got Guy Goma.
Indeed the wrong guy.
