...argh! why do major conferences get located in really hard to get to towns!!!!????

Thanks, so the picture is less than clear Regardless, I'm still happy to continue munching through soy in preference to dairy products!

In regards to soy, if it really were responsible for increased risks of cancer then we would expect the populations of south east asia to show higher rates of cancer than Europe and North America - since they eat a larger amount of soy, and lower amount of diary. Since studies don't show this - in fact rates of cancer are lower, the conclusion is clear.

True. I just wish society would wean itself from the teat of dairy and meat production sooner.

hmm, budget meat. But at what cost...

I have a well balanced vegan diet and it is inexpensive and easily done. You can take supplements, but with a varied diet needs can be met. B12 is added to products like soya milk and cereal.

My hair and nails are in perfect condition!

Cut out meat and dairy and watch the price of food shopping plummet....

I practice reading it outloud along to try and control the pitch of my voice and its speed. It helps to weed out glaring problems with the prose as well like superfluous words and odd punctuation

Good luck!

I feel great now. The paper is moving along and I got positive feedback about my draft chapter

plugging away, thanks. more work tmrw. i think awaiting feedback on a chapter this week has stifled my motivation. so worried. eek.

if only a daemon!

I have been procrastinating and so will need to sit down and work until the evening.

I have the transcript of my previous paper, this one is just an adaptation. I know what I want to say. I just can't motivate myself to write it. Must. Must. Must. Groan....

Ola Svensson 'Feel Good'

Good news about the open Uni tutor post - I know some people in the office who have made it work for them too. I'm hoping to get a GTA post next term which will be great.
