I was really surprised that you mentioned a non-profit restaurant because i've been wanting to start a non-profit restaurant but I didn't know such a thing already existed somewhere. I'm going to take a closer look at their site. I already saw that they aren't solely a restaurant but also a center for 'integral studies', I've heard this term before by they seem to be using it with a different meaning as a sort of hollistic living.
Anyway my idea for the non-profit restaurant was more than just one restaurant, a chain of restaurants. I figure eating is so important that it is much better to operate restaurants as non-profits. I thought of two types which work symbiotically. One which is the health and cheap restaurant attempts to bring health food to everyone's budget, while the other type, Luxiourious healthy dining would be more expensive but still competitive with other high quality restaurants, but, being non-profit the profits would spill over to run the rest of the chain, especially the low-cost restaurants, which I would expect to run at slightly below break-even levels.

Will probably be some time before I get this of the ground. But I'm going to start writing up business proposals for this to see if I can get some sponsorship.

Anyway, as to eating Vegan, I've tried it once, half-hartedly and gave up quickly, but I'm willing to give it another shot (once I return from my extended holidays), I just need to make sure my food is balanced enough.

That's awesome Ty, I guess if you stick it out you win in the end.
Question though: do you still get other people presents, how do you feel about that?

I heard about NaNoWriMo at the end of November last year, and resolved to do it this year. Unfortunately that's not gonna happen anymore. Definitely on my list of things to do though.

Good Luck with yours. I have no doubt you'll complete your novel. Can't wait to read it.

The way of the peacful warrior.

But I agree with magnus, it's important to read widely.

OK, I've been thinking about this every now and then. And I'm gonna take a look around the demo and see if i can find a winning strategy. but tell me this. You say you figured out one strategy, and yet you say that you played different games. so was this strategy applicable to many games? like the double martingale?
I can't think of anything of the top of my head, but I'll check out the odds and see if i can work out anything mathematically, i was always a whiz in maths, should come in handy.

I applaud you,
I've thought of similar problems/issues for my own writing on the internet, but my sites aren't big enough to attract the attention of people I know (at least I don't think so); nevertheless there are things I wouldn't write about. But to proclaim it out loud is a very sincere gesture.

And so I say that I understand, and don't think any less of your blog because of it.

Thanks Tynan, your blog is one of those places I can attribute with being instrumental to some great changes to my life. (one of the others being stevepavlina.com, from which I actually stumbled across your site)

AsianPlayboy, I assume it also has to do with the time. As they say time is money, and Tynan thinks he can invest his time better.

But Tynan you said there was a flaw in the system, and that you developed a better strategy, but you aren't revealing it.
Now first of all, the The Double Martingale System looks solid, but you say there's a flaw. So I'll think about it, I'm sure i can find it. But is the flaw there in the theory or only in the application of it?
Also do you think it's possible to figure out a winning system without first playing a hand?

Also is casino-on-net US only?

Yeah but Tynan, even if it's a simulation, it's still very subjectively only how you see the person, their actions in your dream are entirely (subconsciously, unless you go lucid) controlled by you. And if you're controlling them it's irreversibly connected to your own personality. Thus all characters in your dreams are facets of your mind.

And magnus, I'm not sure which specific analysis you are referring to, but REM sleep specifically is thought to sort out your mind (I've heard it called random firings of neurons, but i think it's more controlled than that), this is what leads to dreams (You always dream you just don't generally remember it). I don't know how this leads to a negative analysis of polysleeping though, as the whole point of polyphasic sleeping (the uberman schedule anyway) is to keep the amount of REM sleep constant (you do 6 naps, because usually a monophaser goes through 6 REM stages in one night), while compressing the other less important stages of sleep.

Well, since recently changing to a vegan diet I can relate to not eating enough. I feel hungry so much more often now, all the time actually.

Also, as I am about to go polyphasic this kinda scares me, maybe you would've handled it better if you weren't polyphasic...?
I guess I'll see for myself pretty soon.

I think I'll just schedule to eat 6 times a day in sync with my naps, that should get me eating enough, though i wonder whether that's healthy.

I’ve heard you are everyone you meet in real life. Weird huh?
It's called the non-duality, it's a theory that only one consciousness exists and only your body is directly connected to the consciousness which makes it seem like other bodies aren't controlled by your consciousness, even though in reality they are. It's an interesting way of looking at the world, as if the 'real world' is really just another 'dream' as well.

BTW tribulus, i would have thought that was something of a given. Seeing as how dreams occur entirely in your mind. Unless you believe in some sort of ESP, where while dreaming you communicate with other minds. However given the nature of dreams to be highly personal and insightful this seem improbable.
