Default Going cold turkey on caffeine and soda... would like a texting buddy and prayers...

I am going cold turkey on caffeine, starting now. It's easy to say right now after I've already had 2 glasses of soda today as well as taken a dose of excedrin for my migraine, but I really need to do this. I have been caffeine free in the past, and I felt much more energetic and was almost migraine free. (I had them about once or twice a month as I have my whole life, as opposed to 3-4 days a week like I am now.) I am pretty sure the migraines are being caused by the caffeine, and possibly in part by the artificial sweeteners in the diet pop I've been drinking. I started drinking the caffeine again when my child stopped nursing back in around October, and my consumption of it has steadily increased... then I was going through 1 two liter a week, and lately I've been up to 2-3 two liters a week. Bad.

The best way for me to do this I know is just cold turkey. That's how it is with everything for me at the moment. If it's in the house, I will be too tempted. I have a super active toddler, and this muggy weather makes me feel so tired, and sometimes it helps my headaches, but I really think it probably causes them in the first place. I know I would fall back on it to have it in the house.

So to start there is no more soda in my house and I'm not going to buy any more. My husband doesn't drink it so that won't be an issue, but usually when he stops to fill up his tank he will buy me a bar of dark chocolate. That is going to have to stop too for the time being. I don't "overdose" on chocolate, I'm pretty good with it... but I think getting rid of my caffeine addiction will be quicker without it. I have been taking excedrin for my migraines and I know it is going to be bad for the the next few days to a week maybe... I started taking a daily feverfew supplement and hope that will help, and I am going to try ibuprofin or tylenol instead... something without the caffeine. I suppose I'll be stopping the "diet" fake sugar stuff at the same time since the soda is really the only thing I take that in, so if that is also causing the headaches, well, better to get rid of that too. So, cold turkey.

I would love someone to text with maybe going through the same thing right now, because I know this is going to be difficult for me. It's easier for me to text than get to the computer. (I have to keep the laptops up and out of reach because my toddler is obsessed with trying to pick the keys off! Lol.) Please say a prayer for me. My headaches are difficult and I don't want to be a bear to my husband for the next few days or weeks because of it. I'm hoping my system will detox quickly! This is going to be my first "weight loss" step as well... I know this issue has been holding me back. If you want to text with me please reply here or leave me a private message with your number and I'll send or text you mine as well.

I was planning on quitting tomorrow and the rest of the day, but I didnt end up having another diet soda. This is one thing that is really difficult for me to give up!

Diet soda was one of the hardest things I gave up...my fiance and I would literally go through a 12 pk of diet soda in 3-4 days, sometimes even faster. We would drink it with every meal, never really drink anything else. But I knew, when I made the choice to get healthy, it was going to be something I had to give up.

The first few days were the hardest...went through the caffeine withdrawal (I used coffee to help with this...only drank one cup at the start of my day), had several headaches, and literally craved it all the time.

After the third day, the cravings subsided, and by the fifth day I could be in the same room with my fiance while he continued to drink it (I would make him go in the kitchen to drink his soda, so I wouldn't be tempted to take a sip). I've been 3 1/2 weeks soda free, and I feel much better about it ^_^ I haven't had a single drop...I'm worried that if I drink it, I will crave it again so I just avoid it. If I need something with flavor, I will squeeze some lemon juice, or pure cranberry juice into my water so it has a bit more taste.

You can do this!!!!

I found (find) it SO hard to give up my diet caffinated beverages I go through phases of extremes over the years from giving it up cold turkey for months only to drink a 2ltr bottle a day when I fall off the wagon. They are/were my only source of caffeine.

When I first tried to kick it this year, I had aweful headaches for about a week and caved. I retried giving up 3 weeks ago and so far so good. No headaches, no real cravings.

I allow myself one day a week to eat & drink what I feel like, so I buy 1 2lr bottle a week on shopping day, and when its gone its gone. I seem to have less binge breakdowns this way.

I hope some of that helps! Keep strong! If all else fails, think of your teeth

I would have never thought that I could be soda free but it happened. I was drinking at least 6 cans a day. I have tried in the past and couldn't quit. What I did different this time is I didn't try all those flavoring things they have for the water (mio, hawaiian punch). It took me 2 days to get off soda. I drank 2 the first day, 1 the second, and quit on the third. It feels so good to not get caffeine headaches all the time!

Well, I am on 48 hours without caffeine. I'll admit I had about an 8oz glass of sprite yesterday. It is caffeine free and was not a diet drink, so I just counted the calories and the bubbliness helped me get through. I don't want to make that a habit though as I am also doing this for my teeth! Anyway, the guests finished off that 2Liter and now there are no more sweet bubblies in the house.

I was headache free until about an hour ago, but now I'm starting to feel one coming on... ughh.

Good job!!! Stick to your guns! No matter how hard.

Not like I should talk I am a total sucker for diet coke! I really need to consider quitting, but feel like it may be impossible. I drink about 4-5 cans a day.....terrible.

You are an inspiration.....I am going to take quitting in to consideration!

One Question for Judy Collins

November 2013

Before folk stalwart Judy Collins is inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame this month—and takes the Paramount Theatre stage on November 8—the veteran Denver singer found time to sit down with us.

What’s so unique about Colorado’s music environment?
The folk music scene in the ’50s and early ’60s was extraordinary. I contributed to creating it, but it was also already established in a way; there was a community. It was welcoming because of its own history: the stories of the miners and the unions and the struggles. It was almost a natural place for [folk music to take off]. Exclusive: Read the full Q&A with Judy Collins here.

Gummi Candy: Where to Get the Good Stuff

Jon Darsky, pizzaiolo at Flour + Water, talks about his current obsession.

"I kind of binge on the stuff. Maybe I have a problem, I don’t know. I eat them really fast. I consume a lot at one time. And then I get a stomachache. Then I go back. There are always multiple forces at work: the one that’s forcing you to get the gummy, then the one where you get sick and have to stop. There are two kinds I like: the Japanese stuff made by Kasugai, which is soft and really fruity. They honestly try to mimic the flavor of the fruit—mango, lychee, pineapple, peach, strawberry, muscat grape—probably by using as much artificial flavoring as possible. I buy it at Chamalyn (3491 19th St., 415-948-1313). I can motor through a package of mango in two minutes. I also like Haribo, which is German. Those gummies are a little chewier, a little al dente, and I usually get the mixed fruit salad flavor, with grapefruit, lemon and strawberry. They make good gummi bears, too, and I also love the gummi frogs, the ones with marshmallow bellies and green gummi backs. I have no idea what flavor they’re supposed to be—lemon-lime, maybe—but it’s really just ‘green.’ Lehr’s German Specialties (1581 Church St., 415-282-6803) has a killer selection of gummies. You don’t really understand until you experience it.”

Presented by 826NYC

How it Works

On Saturday, April 25th at 12PM, join 826NYC for Scrabble for Cheaters 2015, an elimination Scrabble tournament, where you and a teammate play against other teams to compete for the coveted Cheater's Cup, plus other cool stuff.

Buy a Vowel ($150)

Should I Wear a Costume?

Their free services are structured around the belief that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. For more information, please visit

What Are the Rules of the Tournament?

Other than the use of cheats, Scrabble for Cheaters Scrabble rules are exactly the same as standard Scrabble rules provided with the game.

How Do You Keep Score?

You and your partner's totals are combined to determine your team's total score.

Is There A Limit to My Turn?

Yes. Each player has exactly two minutes per turn.

Can I Communicate with My Partner During Game Play?

Yes, provided you do so within your two minute play limit.

If My Team Loses, Can I Give My Cheats to Another Team?

No. Unused cheats will be lost.

Can I Purchase More Cheats the Day Of the Tournament?

Yes, but only between matches. Also, purchased cheats can not be traded in for other cheats. All sales are final.

If Someone Donates to My Team, Are Their Donations Tax-deductible?

Yes. All donations, with the exception of the registration fee, are 100% tax deductible.

Will I be Able to See Who Donates to My Team?

Yes. On game day, we can provide you with a list of your donors.

Can I Come to Watch the Tournament if I'm not Playing?

Because space is limited, we do not allow spectators until the final rounds of the tournament.

How Long Does the Tournament Last?

The tournament lasts for you and your teammate so long as you keep winning your matches. But the final round of play usually ends around 6pm.

If I Win, Do I Get to Keep the Cheater's Cup?

Yes, but only for one year. Then you must return the following year to defend your ownership over the cup.

Calderón, 26, has spent the majority of his professional career with Liga de Quito in the Ecuadorian first division, winning three league championships as well as the prestigious Copa Libertadores.

Calderón will be eligible pending receipt of his P-1 work visa and International Transfer Certificate. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Diego is a versatile, talented defender who will come in and compete for a spot in our back line," said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo.

"He can play in the middle or on the left, and has extensive experience, having won league and continental titles and been a part of his national team throughout World Cup qualifying. We're excited to bring him into the group."

Calderón joined Liga de Quito in 2003 and made his first team debut in the top division in Ecuador in 2005 at just 18 years old as the club won the 2005 Apertura championship.

He spent a season in 2006 on loan Deportivo Azogues, making 11 appearances and helping the team gain promotion to the Ecuador Serie A.

Ontological Foundations for Biology Knowledge Models

Carole D. Hafner and Natalya Fridman

This paper analyzes the ontological requirements for representing biology knowledge, and identifies several areas where current knowledge representation (KR) paradigms need to be extended. We focus on the representation of experimental materials and methods, and the reasoning task of intelligent information retrieval; however, the ontological issues we raise apply to biology (and experimental sciences) in general. We have identified two important concept types in molecular biology that cause problems for standard knowledge models: 1) complex substances such as mixtures and nucleic acid sequences; 2) transformations (such as biochemical reactions) that convert one substance into another. We describe these problems, propose solutions for some of them, and give examples of the need for such knowledge representations in intelligent information retrieval.

Indigenous country music legend dies

Country music fans awoke to sad news today: Indigenous country music pioneer Gus Williams died of natural causes early this morning at his home in Central Australia.

Country music singer Gus Williams, the father of Warren H Williams and an Order of Australia recipient, has died of natural causes at his home in Central Australia. It is believed he was in his mid 70's.

The Williams family have given the ABC permission to publish his full name, audio of him talking and his image.

The family have accepted the Northern Territory Government's offer of a state funeral.

Warren H Williams told ABC News his father was a proud and wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

Gus Williams was a traditional owner from Hermannsburg and just like his famous son, he was also an accomplished country music singer and was a deeply respected member of the Indigenous community.

He grew up singing German hymns translated into Western Arrernte on the Hermannsburg mission in Central Australia.

Fellow Central Australian musician Teg Egan first met Mr Williams in 1958 and told the ABC Alice Springs morning program, he'll be mourned by the entire Australian country music community.

"We'd have sung hundreds of songs together. Just one on one and around the campfire, or at Tamworth. Most years he'd be there with his big smile, always with his family around him, playing beautiful country music, which he loved," he says.

"He'll be missed and respected all around Australia, this man, because he was just such a legendary figure in country music. Everyone knew him as the big, genial, big-smiling man from the Northern Territory."

Mr Egan says although Gus Williams was well known for his music, he was also a "great link" between Indigenous and non Indigenous people in Central Australia.

"He always encouraged his people to forgo alcohol and lead decent lives in both the Aboriginal and the western sense of the term 'life' and he did it very,very well," he says.

Ted Egan says he has lost a "great mate" and a stalwart of the country music scene, who will be missed by many.

"Joy McKean, Slim Dusty's widow, will be devastated by this. They were very sincere friends, whenever Joy and Slim came to Alice Springs they'd go to Hermannsburg to visit the old fella," he says.

Mr Egan says he'll never forget the day when Gus Williams was awarded his Order of Australia at Hermannsburg. Six new wheelbarrows were lined with tin foil and filled with food such as rice and curry and wheeled around for everyone to eat.

"It was pretty clever stuff, just wheel the food around to people. Everyone had a great feast and there was music and we celebrated the Order of Australia for this wonderful man," he says.

Greens wary of oil and gas search plan

Updated October 16, 2012 10:06:10

The Greens want the Federal Government to impose stricter environmental safeguards before an exploration company is given approval for an oil and gas search between Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island.

Bight Petroleum has lodged an application to look for drilling sites in a 3,000-square-kilometre area off the South Australian coast.

The company already has exploration permits for the area and is hoping to begin seismic surveys early next year.

Greens Senator Penny Wright says a detailed environmental impact assessment should be done before any activity begins.

"It's unlikely that an assessment would find there wasn't a high risk to the environment because we know that an oil spill in the area would be absolutely devastating both on what's a precious area for marine life, including protected whale species and also dolphins, but also it would then affect the fishing industry and the tourism," she said.

Local state MP Michael Pengilly said petroleum exploration had been done interstate for decades with no harm to the environment.

"There's plenty of evidence that over the last 60 or so years in Bass Strait, for example, there's absolutely nothing gone wrong," he said.

"Why should they take the worst-case scenario and use that rather than have what's happened, which has all been very good?"

Fishos cry foul on Tindall aquifer water licences

Posted June 07, 2013 12:50:04

The Northern Territory Government has been accused of cooking the books on water allocations to push business to the detriment of the Roper River in Arnhem Land.

The Territory's water controller recently caused a stir when he granted a large water extraction licence for the Tindall aquifer to a Country Liberals political candidate.

The controller argued new data showed the consumptive pool of the aquifer, which feeds the Roper River, is nearly double what was previously thought.

But the Amateur Fishermen's Association of the Northern Territory (AFANT) is crying foul on data used to justify new water allocations.

It wants an immediate halt on handing them out.

AFANT's Craig Ingram says it has repeatedly asked for the data used by the water controller to justify giving large extraction licences for the Tindall Aquifer near Mataranka.

He says nothing's been forthcoming and has accused the Government of pressuring bureaucrats with its pro-business agenda, and of promising too much water to a few farmers.

"This process has been a sham," he said.

"AFANT approached the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology ... and they've formally advised us they haven't provided that advice to the Government.

"It appears that the comments in the notice of decision were based on a phone call, because neither the Water Controller or the water bureaucrats could find a quote, a comment, to justify what they were trying to do.

"It needs to go back to that water planning committee, and the Government needs to prove its credentials and justify any major changes like this."

Mr Ingram said it appeared water licences were being handed out "like confetti".

The Roper River is one of the largest waterways in the Territory, extending for more than 500 kilometres inland to where it meets the sea at Limmen Bight on the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Taliban, Pakistan government hold peace talks to stop violence

Posted February 07, 2014 09:25:05

Peace talks between the Pakistani government and the Taliban, aimed at stopping violence, have been held in Islamabad.

A hand-picked team of government negotiators met Taliban representatives to kick-start peace talks between Islamabad and the radical Islamists.

It is hoped the talks will formalise a roadmap for a dialogue that will try to end an insurgency that has been going on since 2007.

Both sides have called for peace while the talks take place.

The government has set a number of conditions including that the Taliban recognises the country's constitution.

Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, last week unexpectedly announced the peace negotiations after a recent spate of Taliban attacks that saw more than 100 people, mostly soldiers in the country's tribal areas, killed.

Irfan Siddiqui, a government negotiator picked by Mr Sharif, sent a text message from the meeting in an Islamabad government building, describing the atmosphere as "cordial and friendly".

Several earlier efforts at striking peace deals with the militants failed to end the violence for long, only allowing them to regroup, recruit new fighters and strike back with renewed vengeance.

Pakistan's neighbours are watching closely, acutely aware that another failure to find a peaceful solution could further destabilise the region already nervous ahead of the expected pull-out of most foreign forces from neighbouring Afghanistan.

Confidence low that agreement will halt violence

Taliban bosses watched the progress of the talks in Islamabad from their mountainous hideouts on the Afghan border, with their interests represented by three Taliban-friendly public figures hand-picked by the insurgents.

"The progress of the talks will be submitted to the prime minister," a government official, who declined to be identified as he was not authorised to comment on the talks, said.

The Pakistani Taliban, known as Pakistani Tehreek-e-Taliban, are a deeply fragmented umbrella group consisting of dozens of entities, so striking a deal with one of them would not necessarily stop the violence.

Mr Sharif has been criticised for lacking a coherent strategy when it comes to dealing with the extremists and many in Pakistan are not confident the talks will yield an effective agreement.

On Tuesday, the first attempt at talking got off to a shambolic start after government negotiators failed to turn up at an agreed time, angering the insurgents' representatives.

"The unavoidable question for the government though: what are talks meant to achieve if violence continues even in the immediate run-up to the first real, known attempt at talks?" the respected Dawn daily wrote in an editorial.

Militants have stepped up attacks against security forces since the beginning of the year, prompting the army to send fighter jets to bomb their strongholds in the ethnic Pashtun region of North Waziristan, along the Afghan border, and triggering talk that a major ground offensive was in the works.

QSL boss Greg Beashel remains optimistic

Updated July 16, 2014 11:15:05

Queensland Sugar Limited CEO Greg Beashel remains optimistic about the future of Australia's raw sugar export pool despite having only 600,000 tons of sugar locked in beyond the 2016 season. Mr Beashel says if growers had a choice, which is the key battle going on in the industry right now, about two million tons would be sold through QSL.

Search engines lagging further behind the web

A US study says that the major internet search engines - software that allow users to find information on the internet - cover less than half of the publicly accessible internet. And their performance is getting worse as the web continues to grow at a spectacular rate.

The study, by computer scientists Lee Giles and Steve Lawrence, appears in the July 8 edition of Nature. They performed a statistical survey of the net to derive the total size of the publicly indexible internet and the scope and efficiency of the 11 most popular search engines. The publicly indexible 'net includes all webpages other than those requiring authorization to view, forms or those that are hidden from search engines.

Giles and Australian-born Lawrence, both of the NEC Research Institute, say that the web has grown from 320 million pages in December 1997 to some 800 million webpages in February 1999, including 180 million images and 3 terabytes of text.

But while the top 5 search engines covered 60% of the web in 1997, the combined coverage of the top 11 engines today is only 42%. The most comprehensive search engine in the world covers only about a sixth of all searchable webpages, whereas fifteen months ago the best engine covered a third.

Slow to update, and selective too

The study also suggests that the proportion of dead links appearing in search results is increasing, and that search engines take several months to include new or modified content. What's more, the technology that many search engines use means that any new content that appears is likely to come from sites that are already popular.

Search engines add new content in two ways. While users can submit their pages directly to a search engine, the main method uses search robots or 'spiders' - software that continuously surfs the web, saving references of pages they visit to an index and following links to find other pages. This means that if a page has more than one link pointing to it somewhere on the web, it is more likely to be indexed, and a page that isn't listed in the index will not be found.

Giles and Lawrence say their results suggest there may be an optimal size for a search engine, beyond which the cost of maintenance increases greatly and overall performance slows.

They also say that the best way to improve the coverage of the web by a search is to combine the results of multiple engines, or use a metasearch engine, which does this automatically.
