5 27 2012 The 5 Bite Diet Day 13
Hey there, Hi there, Ho there! My Spirits and Energy levels are great.
So what do ya know Joe? Joe? Who in the heck is Joe anyway? OK was that an ice breaker or what? HA! Jeez I am showing my age........... Is that a bad thing? I say nay! Bold baby, bold! Right, comedy hour over and out.
Sorry Ladies and Gents, but I am in a rather good mood this morning. Chipper indeed! Today we celebrate my Mums 75th birthday. I am so excited. Why. Well it is a surprise party. So what are you making Dave? Inquiring minds want to know. Wow what a group! Well let me tell ya why dont I? I am going to make an Irish Coleslaw. It will go perfectly with the Fish Fry. I got what is supposed to be an authentic recipe. How authentic? Well who really knows.
OK if any of you folks out there comes from that part of the world or has knowledge of the recipe let me know. This is the list of the ingredients:
For the dressing:
1 tblsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp cider vinegar plus a bit extra for tossing on the apples
0.5 tsp mustard or more to taste
0.5 tsp honey or to taste
coarse salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the slaw:
approx. 125g carrot (about 1 med. sized carrot)
approx. 125g bramley apple (about ½ a large apple)
approx. 125g savoy cabbage (about ¼ of a small head of cabbage – any dark, tough, outer leaves removed)
2 spring onions, finely sliced
2-3 tblsp chopped flat leaf parsley
squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
OK, at least it should be interesting. Way different than the usual suspects around here in Texas. At least what I have been exposed too.
So here is the challenge to ME. By the time we get to the party at 1 pm, I would have had my Bulletproof Coffee already. So I will not have to eat at all until we get home. Unless that is we stay late. I dont see that happening but you never know. So there will be Dave surrounded by all kinds of yummy food. Have I ever mentioned that I just love deep fried foods? Well now you know. Deep Fried Fish, Shrimp, Hush Puppies, Fries and whatever. Of course there will be tons of other sides and sweets.
So what is this all about anyway. OK, my point is that we are going to be exposed form time to time to food being thrown at your face, but you have to stand your ground. You have to be strong. On the 5 Bite Diet you could easily mess up and go right back on the Diet the next day. Right? Well for me that would be WRONG! Why? Because I know myself all too well. That one day may turn into two or three or maybe even the "Deal Breaker". The lesson for today. If you know your limits why push it? Just my little two cents. I will do whats right for ME.
Results thus far:
(Please let me know if I mess up on my math below, I might add or subtract incorrectly)
Day 01 = (0.0) = 00.0 lbs loss current weight: 190.0 lbs (just starting)
Day 02 = (2.0) = 02.0 lbs loss current weight: 188.0 lbs (nice)
Day 03 = (1.6) = 03.6 lbs loss current weight: 186.4 lbs (this is how we do it)
Day 04 = (1.8) = 05.4 lbs loss current weight: 184.6 lbs (lovely)
Day 05 = (1.2) = 06.6 lbs loss current weight: 183.4 lbs (interesting)
Day 06 = (1.8) = 08.4 lbs loss current weight: 181.6 lbs (oh, yeah)
Day 07 = (1.2) = 09.6 lbs loss current weight: 180.4 lbs (keep it coming)
Day 08 = (0.4) = 10.0 lbs loss current weight: 180.0 lbs (Battle On!!!)
Day 09 = (0.8) = 10.8 lbs loss current weight: 179.2 lbs (Yo!)
Day 10 = (0.8) = 11.6 lbs loss current weight: 178.4 lbs (OK?)
Day 11 = (1.0) = 12.6 lbs loss current weight: 177.4 lbs (OK part 2)
Day 12 = (1.2) = 13.8 lbs loss current weight: 176.2 lbs (OK part 3)
Day 13 = (0.8) = 14.6 lbs loss current weight: 175.4 lbs (Jeez)
Stellar results so far? No complaints here. I will keep trucking along and see. OK I will fess up and say that I had more than 5 Bites of the Grilled T-bone yesterday. To make things worse I must have gnawed on the bone for at least 10 minuets (bow wow). Was I hungry? No. Could I have stopped at 5 Bites......... Yes! Please dont ask why. There is no excuse. I dont believe in them. Only explanations. No worries here.
Have a Healthy Day my Friends and Family. Get Straight, Go Forward, Move Ahead.
Todays Menu: Black coffee, H20, Seltzer Water, Bulletproof Coffee and Fried Fish, Shrimp and (?) maybe.
Now Whip It
Cheers,
Dave

Stapelbare Stecker
Für den Aufbau von Parallelschaltungen und größeren Knoten kann man entweder einen Verteilerbaustein nutzen, oder aber sog. stapelbare Stecker. Bei diesen kann man von oben einen weiteren Stecker einstecke, in diesen wieder einen weiteren usw.

Wie funktioniert die Chipherstellung ein Ausflug in die Mikroelektronik
Auch wenn hier primär ein Elektrobaukasten beschrieben wird, ist doch die Welt der Elektronik nicht zu fern. Wurden früher elektronische Schaltungen diskret, d.h. aus einzelnen Bauelementen wie Widerständen, Röhren, Transistoren, Kondensatoren, Dioden usw. aufgebaut, so haben sich seit vielen Jahren integrierte Schaltungen etabliert. Nach dem Moore´schen Gesetz verdoppelt sich dabei die Anzahl der Transistoren pro Fläche alle 2 Jahre. Daher erfolgt an dieser Stelle mal ein kurzer Ausflug in die heutige Mikroelektronik
Ausgangsmaterial der meisten integrierten Schaltungen ist Silizium. Dabei kommt polykristallines Silizium zum Einsatz, welches gereinigt wird. Aus geschmolzenem poly-Silizium wird ein Einkristall gezogen. Dies ist ein aufwendiges und teures Verfahren. Die Ziehgeschwindigkeit beträgt gerade mal 0.4 - 0.8mm/ min. Übliche Stablängen eines solchen Siliziumstabes sind 1-2 m.
Die Stäbe werden nun rundgeschliffen, der Anfangs- und Endkonus (beliebte Werbegeschenke in der Halbleiterindustrie) werden abgetrennt. Mit einer Drahtsäge werden aus den Siliziumstäben einzelne Scheiben (Wafer) geschnitten. Diese Drahtsägen sind erstaunlich, ein einzelner Draht kann dabei bis zu 80 km (!) betragen.
Die Wafer werden nun noch mechanisch und chemisch nachbearbeitet, anschließend in Waferboxen verpackt und an die eigentlichen Schaltkreishersteller (auch Chiphersteller, Chip Manufacturer, Wafer Fabs) verschickt. Abolute Sauberkeit ist dabei oberstes Gebot, nach dem Reinigen der Wafer werden diese nur noch unter Reinraumbedingungen bewegt.
Beim Chiphersteller werden die Wafer nun verschiedensten physikalischen oder chemischen Prozessen unterworfen. Dazu gehören CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition - Chemische Dampfphasenabscheidung), Diffusion, Ionenimplantation, und verschiedene thermische Prozesse.
Einer der wichtigsten Schritte dabei ist die Lithographie, bei der die eigentlichen Strukturen, die die Schaltkreise ausmachen, hergestellt werden.
Am Ende der Produktionskette werden die eigentlichen Schaltkreise, die Chips, aus dem Wafer gesägt, verdrahtet und verkapselt.

Men lose weight more quickly than women
The rumor: Men lose weight more quickly than women
Many people believe that when it comes to weight loss, men have an advantage. Anecdotal stories of ladies sweating and struggling to lose a pound or two compare to tales of men cutting back on the junk, hitting the gym and watching the weight drop off. But whats the real truth?
The verdict: Men do lose weight faster than women, at first
Men tend to have more lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories than body fat, even during rest. And when men and women cut the same number of calories, men usually do lose more weight -- but its short-term.
"Over the long-term, the playing field is more equal," says dietician David Grotto, self-proclaimed "guyatician" and author of "The Best Things You Can Eat." "Its not a race to see who can lose weight the fastest. The important thing is that youre both going in the same direction."
Weight-loss programs often accentuate the difference. When sedentary men and women both start exercise programs, men tend to lose body fat, while many women dont.
In one study out of England, men and women were each put on commercial weight-loss programs such as Atkins, Slim-Fast and Weight Watchers. Two months in, the men had lost twice as much weight as the women -- and three times as much body fat. But by six months, the rate of weight loss had evened out between the genders.
If youre a guy, you can thank the testosterone you have -- and the extra estrogen you dont -- for your weight-loss edge. On average, women have between 6 and 11% more body fat than men, an assumed evolutionary adaptation to help during pregnancy. From puberty to menopause, women maintain more average body fat than men -- even when they take in fewer calories.
But its important to remember that "fat" doesnt mean "unhealthy." Yes, women have larger fat stores, but its part of their physiology, meaning its not extra weight. So if a woman has 11% more body fat than a man, it doesnt mean shes 11% "fatter." A perfectly fit woman will still hold 6 to 11% more body fat than a perfectly fit man.
Also, men tend to lose weight where they need it most (read: belly), so its often more immediately noticeable when overweight men start trimming down than when women do. Ladies fat stores are typically more spread out, which is partly why they tend to lose weight at a slower pace than guys. Even basic, regular exercise -- ideally 30 to 60 minutes a day -- tends to reduce abdominal obesity, even if guys dont technically lose weight.
Of course, ladies also lose abdominal weight quickly -- they just tend to have less of it. "Women with excess fat around the middle will lose it more or less as readily as men," says upwave review-board member Dr. David Katz, founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center at the Yale University School of Medicine. "Men are more prone to gain weight around the middle."
That said, carrying extra weight around the middle is also tied to increased heart risks, making it arguably unhealthier to be an overweight man than a plus-size woman. Big bellies, it turns out, are a sort of a double-edged sword when it comes to weight loss: Theyre an extra health risk for men, but give guys the edge when it comes to dropping pounds.
Ladies, dont despair: Women have weight-related advantages, too. They tend to carry more body fat on their thighs and backsides (the so-called "pear" shape), which are much healthier places to hold weight than around the middle. Plus, while women are better at storing fat, they also tend to burn more body fat during exercise than men do. "The fat women find it hardest to lose is generally the least harmful to health," Katz says.
At the end of the day, dropping pounds is hard work for women and men. And, really, it all boils down to this: Anyone can lose weight -- it doesnt matter what your gender is. You just have to be committed to doing it.
