Gosh, those Humanities Graduates sure are a nasty gang! I hear they go around infecting little babies with cholera and stomping on elderly people's gardens, too. Someone needs to stop them...

Snap, Crackle, Drop

Everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But when you're watching your weight, that mantra doesn't give you license to gorge on pancakes, bagels and muffins. When it comes to staying slim, cold cereal eaters have the edge.

Not All Created Equal
Two new studies support the notion that a regular morning meal of cereal and milk wards off weight problems. But even though the studies were funded by two major cereal manufacturers, leading nutritionists agree with their findings. "Cereal with milk is quick and easy, and if you chose the right cereal you get calcium, fiber, and plenty of nutrients," says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Bonnie Taub-Dix, RD.

Of course, eating a sugar-laden cereal straight from the box can create a diet disaster. Taub-Dix recommends a cereal with no more than 3 grams of sugar per serving and roughly 5 grams of fiber, topped with skimmed milk and berries. If you can't live without your Cocoa Puffs, which has 13 grams of sugar per serving, try cutting the sugar by mixing it with a low-sugar option like Cheerios or Kix.

Smart Snacking
Cereal is also often touted as a healthy snack. The best choice would be a whole-grain variety that's high in fiber and protein. Again, portion and sugar control are key if you choose this as your between-meals treat. Here are some more tips for smart snacking.
Snacking can be a dietary disadvantage; or a nutritional edge. Here's how to make it work in your favor.
Many nutrition experts often recommend munching between meals to maintain your energy and prevent you from devouring too much at lunch or dinner. But snacking could thwart your ability to manage the size of your middle -- unless, that is, you learn to snack smart.
"Nutrition experts are not wrong about the healthfulness of snacking, but perhaps we haven't been clear that you should have a snack only when your stomach wants it," states Connie Roberts, R.D., a nutritionist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

 
That was pretty good but I couldn't understand it

Yeah, that didn't work. What did I supposedly get served with?

True. But that is what I had always hoped for from triage. (Although, I guess it's better if the changes are the result of feedback, rather than just the author realizing on his own that something is screwed up. ;))

Oops, I dropped the ball on the t7es page, but I did work on it last night a bit.

Ok. I have naturally no ideas how things work. If it's a too big thing, it's better to not do changes like that.

I just began to think about it, because there have been many versions of a few certain levels lately.

As tom7 says, sometimes, you have to camp with your tent and wait the b|tch, if you got a good accuracy with railgun, you can try to move while killing him, now that is what i do ! Even if he falls down, i can kill him before he suicide lol Every games i make against him, i win. I can do a even better "demo" record or make an "avi"(but file is more bigger, something like 70MB after compressing!) that the one i did last 3 months :-) Lets Rock !

To do that would mean changing the way the server works substantially, because it identifies a level by a hash of its contents, so changing the level at all means it has to have a different entry on the server.

But again, I don't really think there's much of a problem with the way things work now. The only thing I'd like to add is a "previous version" link to each level, so that someone reading the comments can follow along to the comments that came before it.

About all the levels in the graveyard, could it be possible to update levels without ever having to move them into the graveyard first? That would solve the problem with losing comments of old versions and make uploading new versions generally a little easier. And more clean. (The messages would go to the same place for all versions of the level.)

Against near perfect-accuracy cheating bots, sometimes camping is one's only hope...

Sure, in fact those chalkboards are made of canvas and they roll up and around so you don't need to erase during a lecture.

Yeah, the presentation isn't going to make much sense unless you have a background in logic and computer science, at a minimum. But if you thought that was obscure, you should have seen the others. ;)
 
They still have chalk boards in Oxford!

Space and Time travel interesting. I would choose to address it in a more interesting way though :). didn't get a thing of ur presentation may thats becoz i'm still an undergrad from an absolutely irrelevant department.

Yes, I agree, and I have indeed left that unsatisfied.

well since we are talking about the initial pre-requisites to unlimited corruption it is the initial weakening that matters. Because if you
don't have that then unlimited power may not lead to unlimited corruption.

However, as to your having said that inital weakening of psychological state leads to further weakening this sounds probable.

What I mean is that the weakening of one's psychological state leads in fact to *more* weakening, producing a positive feedback loop. I'm not sure what causes the initial weakening.

i see what you're trying to do, interesting. But can't get the explicit sense of it. What do you mean by positive feedback? how does this lead to a weakening of ones psychological state?
 
2848. Tom 7 (gs82.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 29 Aug 2005 13:08:48 I was an infinitely cold and rainy dot ]
I think that the idea is that unlimited power necessarily leads to a gradual "positive feedback" weakening of one's psychological state, and thus along the road to unlimited corruption as you describe.
 
2847. waqas (beacon-ext.nus.edu.sg) – 29 Aug 2005 10:51:58 I was an infinitely cold and rainy dot ]
unlimited power may not lead to unlimited corruption. U need a decently messed up cerebral cortex or a profoundly bizzare psychological state or in lieu of the context ridiculous powers of reasoning or a 'lez bomb other places to stone age' fun spirit along with unlimited power to get to being unlimitedly corrupt.
