////////////////////////Eat Whole Grains
Eating foods that are high in simple sugars (candy, fruit, white breads and cereals) results in a quick shot of blood glucose. Blood glucose is one of the main factors in determining both how hungry you are and how much energy you have to work.
Unfortunately this quick shot of blood glucose is offset by a rise in insulin to utilize this energy gain. This causes the pendulum to swing backwards again, resulting in an energy drain.
The solution is to eat whole grains which have complex carbohydrates. The result is an even level of blood-glucose keeping you alert longer and more consistently
////////////////Information Dieting
I’m a huge fan of measurement. It’s far better to conduct an experiment and go with the numeric results, then just go on a hunch. Knowing how many calories you ingest, hours you spend working, hits to your website or percentage of sales you convert is critical if you want to make targeted improvements.
But most of this information only works in aggregate. I’ve run my blog for over a year and a half. I can say with certainty that the results of one days traffic won’t have any impact on my decision making for future posts. There is just too much randomness involved.
Yet I often see website owners who check stats several times a day. People who answer e-mails as soon as they arrive. All trying to get information in real time.
Because the information doesn’t help decision making unless it is compared with a larger trend (over weeks and months), information dieting can boost your productivity. I limit myself to checking e-mail and RSS once per day, and any relevant statistics only once per week. Information dieting saves time and improves decisions.

Plows, Plagues, and PetroleumHow Humans Took Control of ClimateWilliam F. Ruddiman To read the entire book description or a sample chapter, please visit: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8014.htmlPlows, Plagues, and Petroleum is the first book to trace the full historical sweep of human interaction with Earth's climate. Ruddiman takes us through three broad stages of human history: when nature was in control; when humans began to take control, discovering agriculture and affecting climate through carbon dioxide and methane emissions; and, finally, the more recent human impact on climate change. Along the way he raises the fascinating possibility that plagues, by depleting human populations, also affected reforestation and thus climate--as suggested by dips in greenhouse gases when major pandemics have occurred. The book concludes by looking to the future and critiquing the impact of special interest money on the global warming debate."The activities of Stone Age farmers may have altered Earth's climate. This is the exciting but controversial theory conveyed by palaeoclimatologist William Ruddiman in his well-written book Plows, Plagues and Petroleum. . . . [A]n excellent book summarizing and placing in context the age-old influence of humans on atmospheric composition, climate and global warming."--Nature
/////////////////////////Sustainable water: falls from the sky
by Josh LoposerNov 21st 2007 @ 3:32PMFiled under: Home
Have you ever dreamed of building a rainwater collection system for your home -- one that will make you totally water independent? Sustainable rainwater catch systems are becoming more reliable, and perhaps more affordable, than you might expect. According to rainwater.org, you're looking at around $15,000 to construct a 1st-rate, whole-house system. That includes everything from the tank to the ultra-violet lights. Not to mention, some local governments are offering incentives for rainwater collection and green building projects. If that's too rich for your blood, you can do a more affordable supplemental system such as rain barrels.

How and Why Species MultiplyThe Radiation of Darwin's FinchesPeter R. Grant & B. Rosemary Grant To read the entire book description or a sample chapter, please visit: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8486.htmlCharles Darwin's experiences in the Galápagos Islands in 1835 helped to guide his thoughts toward a revolutionary theory: that species were not fixed but diversified from their ancestors over many generations, and that the driving mechanism of evolutionary change was natural selection. In this concise, accessible book, Peter and Rosemary Grant explain what we have learned about the origin and evolution of new species through the study of the finches made famous by that great scientist: Darwin's finches.

///////////////////////Best day to dine outIf you like to eat out once in a while, listen to this one. A tip from a restaurant owner. The best day to get the most fresh food for your money is Tuesday. Here is the reason: Tuesday is the day that most restaurants receive a new shipment of food for the week. If you eat out on Monday, you are most likely going to be served the leftovers from Sunday. Wednesday and Thursday may not be so bad but then again you want the best for what you are paying, right?
EAT OUT ON TUESDAYS
///////////////////////Best day to buy a carIf you are in the market for a car, don't ever go out car shopping on a weekend. You are not likely to get a good deal on a car, because there are many other people shopping on that day. Best day to get a great deal on a car? Mondays! Mondays are the slowest days for car dealerships after the weekend sales, and you are most definitely going to be able to bargain the price on the car of your choice.
BUY CAR ON MONDAYS
