6kgs in 2 weeks. Almost 1.5kgs in the last 2 days.

Sounds like a magical formula and almost sounds dangerous.

I’ve lost about 15kgs now since the beginning of the year, but about half of that has been in the last 3 weeks. All of it is thanks to a no-carb diet.

Obviously it’s difficult to eliminate carbs altogether – but I’m doing a fine job of avoiding them. Pepsi Max is helping 8-), but the diet is now meat, eggs, meat, leafy veggies, meat & well more meat. Bacon, chicken, fish, beef… it’s all good.

The pot belly is going, the triple chin is now double, I feel so energetic I’ve started going to the gym again – and even better all my old clothes fit!!

Try googling for “low carb diet” or checking out news:alt.support.diet.low-carb

Interesting manipulation of the DejaGoogle search engine…. Takes advantage of the color coding they use…

“US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies”

Reds under the beds!! Reds under the beds!!

Does this smell of McCarthyism to you? It’s just plain witch-hunting. People “reporting” on their neighbours private activities – possibly even because of grudges.

“A pilot program, described on the government Web site www.citizencorps.gov, is scheduled to start next month in 10 cities, with 1 million informants participating in the first stage. Assuming the program is initiated in the 10 largest US cities, that will be 1 million informants for a total population of almost 24 million, or one in 24 people.”

Big Brother is now the little old lady next door.

The McMaster motor is so radical, yet efficient, that vehicles using it no longer need:

A transmission
A drive shaft
A differential
A center hump
A catalytic converter
A traditional exhaust system
An extensive cooling system
A starter and ignition system
Spark plugs

The engine is environmentally friendly. The two-cycle version does not use gasoline, so it does not expel hydrocarbons. Further, the McMaster motor is sealed and does not require oxygen. It exhausts only air and water.

The engine has only two moving parts and is virtually noiseless. Further, the McMaster motor generates smoother torque and creates less vibration than a piston engine producing the same horsepower.

In 2000 the University of California, Berkeley published a study showing that printed content represents only 0.003% of the world’s total information — most of the remainder is stored digitally. If that figure is correct, almost our entire output as a society is entrusted to one of several Microsoft operating systems and disks with twelve-month limited warranties.
