The Straight Skinny by Wickham B. Simonds M. D.,Skip Simonds Pdf
The number of diets out there is legion. Staggering. Bewildering. There are so many, no one can possibly know them all, and no one can possibly be expected to understand which one will actually work for them. The key (and we mean this literally - what you are about to read is The Key) to all dieting is understanding how your body handles the food you eat. After all, it isn't food that makes you lose or gain weight; it is what your body does or doesn't do with the food you eat. What really drives weight loss is understanding how your body handles food and adjusting your food intake accordingly. What we need to do is not "go on a diet", but rather "change our diet". When we understand how our bodies handle the food we eat, it is incumbent on us to adjust our eating habits accordingly.So in this book, when we talk about diets, we are talking about everything you eat from now on...not some specialized meal plan that you're going to do for the next 8 weeks until you reach your weight loss goal.Let me say this a slightly different way: your present diet got you into the place where you are seriously considering reading this book. Unless that diet changes, permanently, you are not going to change your weight or health over the long term for the better. Do what you want "to lose weight", but if you don't change what you eat permanently, so that it works with your body's own biology, you are logically doomed to find yourself right back here reading this again.In this book, we are going to strongly recommend a lifestyle change. Anything short of that is pointless. Temporary measures to achieve weight loss are just that, temporary. We see no value and actually a significant downside to simply losing weight for the short term only to gain it all back, plus a bit more. Not only is future weight loss more difficult, there are deleterious effects on your body and its me- tabolism.It is important that you learn about your physiology and metabolism, and learn about how they work with the food you eat. The goal is to gain a better knowledge of the interaction of food with your body, before you make some life altering decisions. After that you can make an informed, knowledgeable decision with the long view in mind.Our perspective, as you'll see, is skewed to the low carb, ketogenic end of the spectrum. For us, the science and clinical experience in treating thousands of obese patients validates that a ketogenic diet outperforms all others, has the best outcomes, the longest lasting results, requires the least energy to maintain it, and has the best long term health outcomes. But we are going to try to present all your options in a fair and unbiased way.So let's get started. We will look at your body's physiology as it relates to obesity and eating. We will look at food types (there's simplicity there, too, believe it or not) and what each does in your body. And we will look at how you actually eat.We promise you this will be simple, easy to understand, and straight forward. There are no food eating plans, no diet stages, no excess of rules and regulations. We are just going to point you in the right direction, equipped with the right information, and make you cognizant of the appropriate principles to make good, sound lifestyle choices.
Meet the little known and even less understood heroes of police work in Las Vegas -- the forensic investigators. Led by veteran Gil Grissom, the remarkable team assigned to the Criminalistics Bureau's graveyard shift -- including Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Nick Stokes, and Sara Sidle -- must combine cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned savvy as they work to untangle the evidence behind the yellow police tape. While Nick and Catherine investigate a newly discovered fifteen-year-old murder, Grissom and the rest of the team must uncover the indentity of a cold-blooded killer -- one whose execution-style, "double-tap" signature has provoked the interest of FBI agent Rick Culpepper.

Brand new stories by: G. M. Ford, Skye Moody, R. Barri Flowers, Thomas P. Hopp, Patricia Harrington, Bharti Kirchner, Kathleen Alcal , Simon Wood, Brian Thornton, Lou Kemp, Curt Colbert, Robert Lopresti, Paul S. Piper, and Stephan Magcosta. Early Seattle was a hardscrabble seaport filled with merchant sailors, longshoremen, lumberjacks, rowdy saloons, and a rough-and-tumble police force not immune to corruption and graft. By the mid-50s, the town had added Boeing to its claim to fame, but was still a mostly blue-collar burg that was infamously described as "a cultural dustbin" by the Seattle Symphony's first conductor. Present-day Seattle has become a pricey, cosmopolitan center, home to Microsoft and Starbucks. The city is famous as the birthplace of grunge music, and possesses a flourishing art, theatre, and club scene that many would have thought improbable just a few decades ago. But some things never change--crime being one of them. Seattle's evolution to high-finance and high-tech has simply provided even greater opportunity and reward to those who might be ethically, morally, or economically challenged (crooks, in other words). But most crooks are just ordinary people, not professional thieves or crime bosses--they might be your pleasant neighbor, your wife or lover, your grocer or hairdresser, your minister or banker or lifelong friend--yet even the most upright and honest of them sometimes fall to temptation. Within the stories of Seattle Noir, you will find: a wealthy couple whose marriage is filled with not-so-quiet desperation; a credit card scam that goes over-limit; femmes fatales and hommes fatales; a delicatessen owner whose case is less than kosher; a famous midget actor whose movie roles begin to shrink when he starts growing taller; an ex-cop who learns too much; a group of mystery writers whose fiction causes friction; a Native American shaman caught in a web of secrets and tribal allegiances; sex, lies, and slippery slopes . . . and a cast of characters that always want more, not less . . . unless . . . Curt Colbert is the author of the Jake Rossiter & Miss Jenkins mysteries, a series of hard-boiled, private detective novels set in 1940s Seattle. The first book, Rat City, was nominated for a Shamus Award in 2001. A Seattle native, Colbert still resides in his hometown.
Max Parkman—autistic and whip-smart, emotionally fragile and aggressive—is perfect in his mother's eyes. Until he's accused of murder. Attorney Danielle Parkman knows her teenage son Max's behavior has been getting worse—using drugs and lashing out. But she can't accept the diagnosis she receives at a top-notch adolescent psychiatric facility that her son is deeply disturbed. Dangerous. Until she finds Max, unconscious and bloodied, beside a patient who has been brutally stabbed to death. Trapped in a world of doubt and fear, barred from contacting Max, Danielle clings to the belief that her son is innocent. But has she, too, lost touch with reality? Is her son really a killer? With the justice system bearing down on them, Danielle steels herself to discover the truth, no matter what it is. She'll do whatever it takes to find the killer and to save her son from being destroyed by a system that's all too eager to convict him.
Cass Turnbull's Guide to Pruning, 2nd Edition by Cass Turnbull Pdf
Nothing about pruning is obvious; in fact, most of it is downright counterintuitive, says expert Cass Turnbull. This second edition of her definitive illustrated guide adds 40 percent new material, with more coverage of different kinds of trees, shrubs, and ground covers and how to prune them for health and aesthetics. The book is organized around the most common types of plants found in Northwest gardens: evergreen and deciduous shrubs; bamboos and tea roses; rhododendrons, camellia and other tree-like shrubs; hedge plants like boxwood and heather; clematis, wisteria and all those vines; and detailed information on trees by species from dogwoods to weeping cherries. In her trademark witty style, Turnbull also addresses tools, landscape renovation, and design errors. Included too are her amusing Ten Commandments for gardeners, which feature such treasures as "Thou shalt not weed-whip the trunk of thy tree, nor bash it with thine mower, nor leave anything tied on thy tree or the branches of thy tree, as is done in the land of the philistines."
Becoming a man is difficult—even in the best of circumstances—but when it must be done in 1968 with the Year of the Monkey set to explode onto the cities and battlefields of a war-torn Vietnam, it is only the very best who make the grade. A Common Virtue has the immediacy and punch of today’s fears as it draws on yesterday’s headlines. When the armies of Ho Chi Mihn push across the demilitarized zone on a scale never thought possible and simultaneously strike at hundreds of targets, American Marines are at the forefront—dependent on information from a special reconnaissance force that is the only thing that can stop Hanoi from using a New Year’s opportunity to seize the country. Unfolding against this background is the story of Marine Paul Jackson, the sole survivor of a hillside massacre. A sniper and reconnaissance innovator, his epic march through the annals of the horrific bureaucracy that is the U.S. military in 1968 is the heart of this story. As an eighteen-year-old Marine he learns at an early age what he must do to survive; what he must do to excel; and what he must do to fit into the most exclusive military fraternity in the world. A Common Virtue is about the other half of heroism, the part that pits a warrior against an American public that despises his uniform, against internal factions that brand him a “coward,” and against a beautiful woman who wants nothing more than for him to stay home and love her. It is about growing into manhood in a toxic America and a world gone mad. Tough choices, painful experiences, and an instinct for survival work to create a leader of legend. Exciting, historical, and far reaching, A Common Virtue is an ambitious and explosive creation; one that could only have been written by one who was there.
