I also find juicing to be a fantastic way of consuming a lot of healthy vitamins and minerals. I make a veggie/fruit-juice every day consisting of ginger, carrot, spinach, broccoli, beet root together with apple, lemon, grape fruit and blueberries. Fantastic stuff.

You should reduce meal sizes rather than skipping them. Skipping meals is a bad plan for loosing weight.

Journal Journal: PHP Tutorial - Variables

Journal by Jarlsberg on Sunday July 19, 2009 @05:26PM

A variable is a means of storing a value, such as a text string or a number. In PHP you do not have to declare your variable, as it's automatically declared when you set it. Since you do not need to declare the variable, you do not have to specify what kind of data it contains either.

Too bad the talent has withered away since they closed down their adventure division. Still got my Amiga and PC originals, but if they release all games in one box eventually, like the Orange Box, I'll get these enhanced versions.

Yeah, it does. I read the write-up thinking that that it had already been approved, so now wonder I didn't find it. Thanks.
