Stop! Stop right now unless you really want the best cheese low carb cheesecake evar.

Linda has honed this recipe over dozens of trials and a few errors. Yes, I had to try every one. We've bought low carb cheese cake in the store and it was wonderful. Yet all our home attempts never quite measured up. Until now. This cheese cake is as good or better than anything you can buy.

Yummy!

Crust:
1½ cups very finely chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds or pecans)
1/3 cup whey protein
1/3 cup splenda
5 TBSP melted butter

"We found that mental performance, the capability of the brain, was also reduced. Workers cannot think as well when they are worrying about e-mail or voice mails. It effectively reduces their IQ," says Wilson. From http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/apr/23email.htm

After years of producing hard boiled eggs of all sorts of textures, I hit on this recipe and have had perfect hard boiled eggs ever since.

I recently finished a wonderful book titled Guardian by Joe Haldeman.
It, as have many other books, uses the idea of multiverses, where
every possible outcome happens because there's a universe where
it happens.

That's a lot of universes.

More troubling than the immense resources necessary for multiverses
to be true, is that the multiverses always seem to know about
human level causality.

By that i mean we see a multiverse where someone didn't die and that changed history.
Or we see an event that didn't happen for some reason which changed
the time line.

Common Sense: Whatever I think. Everyone else is just making it too
complicated. The answer is really simple, just ask me. Quality common
sense comes from your gut. Thinking, considering evidence, considering principles,
empathizing-- just get in the way.

Really quality common sense jumps out from your years of personal experience,
where you probably have learned things like:

Hey, would you rather have half a loaf or no loaf at all?
Take what you can get.
Is this really the hill you want to die on?
Pick your battles.
It's a fork in the road.

I like this strategy because it is very simple. It has a good chance

Augmenting the human body with the mechanical control of physical pain would be a boon for the quality of human life. Many people live far lesser lives because they are in pain. Often the continuation of pain serves no purpose and is just the epiphenomena of our physical bodies.
Wouldn't you like to be able to say: Hey, i know i have arthritis, now stop hurting? Thanks, i know my back hurts, now stop hurting? Yes, the pain saved me from a worse burn, but that's enough pain?

People love tivo because they can fast forward through all the commercials. You just record everything you want to watch and then fastforward through the parts you don't like. Only the good bits are left.
Now imagine you could tivo your life. How much would you watch and how much would you fastfoward through?

This isn't a trite plea to find meaning yada yada. It's just an interesting thought experiment. As a followup, how much of a life should you expect to watch? How much of our lives should be tempting enough to stay the skip button?

Most dishes are probably invented from making do with what you have in the kitchen. Here's an interesing salad i made to accompany linda's excellent home made quiche. Serves 2-4 people, depending on the people.

Flat stones. River or lake. Irresistible urge to skip stones. I've always loved to skip stones. It's also contagious. Whenever i start other people will always jump in.
I was surprised to find out there are actual contests and world records for stone skipping. There's even a mathematical aspect if you are so inclined.
