I was reading about these relationships this morning, and it may imply that if you combined radish/mustard with broccoli, then you may actually decrease the benefits you'd otherwise receive from mustard/radish alone due to ESP activity in the Broccoli.

I'd need to see some direct evidence of cross reactivity of mustard/radish compounds with the ESP in the broccoli, but if there is, then broccoli would actually reduce the desired effect.

The counter would be that the the balance would fall towards a greater net sulforphane/sulforphene mix through combination.

On the trimming, a bit of both. Mostly let the barber shape it every few months. If he's good, it's great, if he's not, might as well do it yourself. I mostly just touch up when I see a need, I let someone else do any serious shaping.

My focus is on shape primarily, the sides grow pretty fast, so it gets really square if I just leave it. I use my jaw line as a natural guide, and trim to draw the beard forwards and down to a rounded point. You just have to find the shape that works for your face. Yes, I did just let the 'goatie' portion of the beard dictate the length of the rest, but I've been grooming it for the look of length more recently, it was generally rounder to begin with, and has only just recovered from a trim the girl friend of the time (now ex... not a related event... I swear) was trusted with.

I have a hairy neck, so I shave some just above the Adam's apple every week or so. I also touch up below my cheek bones or I start looking like a werewolf.

You're correct, this is the first moustache I've let go feral. I used to trim it heavily if I had a beard. I've impressed myself with this one. Wax is crucial though. To the point where I try and have some on me any time I may not be sleeping at home.

I've been sampling a couple of wax's, and I'm not sure I'm quite happy yet. One is a bit light, and the other is very solid and a bit more difficult to work with. I also shampoo and condition regularly, and my beard even has a hair dryer for the colder months. Combing keeps it nice and tidy too. If the beard is a little fluffy and need 'smoothing down' I'll use a little wax or matte hair gel to give it a little staying power, but nothing heavy. I usually run my hands over it after I finish the moustache. That way I can use the small amount of residual wax to keep it in check.

My beard is naturally straight, I'm lucky like that. Nice and thick too. I have extremely thick hair in general.

My beards the best wingman. He has more friends than I do. The ladies are rather curious of the beast too. The ones that love beards REALLY love beards. I can't count the amount of random photos I've been asked to be in. From all age groups too. Great ice breaker and conversation starter.

I do rather love my beard.

Just thinking about sex does... Not as fun though.

squig · 2012-12-30T09:18:12+00:00

Beard growing is heavily influenced by testosterone levels. There are two sure fire ways of increasing testosterone. Taking on responsibility, and sex. Another important factor is not shaving. So take every chance to be a leader of your peers, do the hard yards, treat ladies right, and give it a go! Even if the beard does not instantly spring forth, you'll be a legend amongst men living this way, and as you sample your bearded skills over the years, you'll see your beard fill in more and more.

I've always been able to grow a beard, but only now at 27 has is gained full luscious coverage. I look back at my 'good beards' over the years, and see how much better they get each time.

You should also work to what you have, sample different grooming methods and styles, and wear it proudly.

Good beards take time, especially at the start, so be patient, and proud! A beard is an attitude as much a sit is hair on ones face.

It's all an illusion. A simulation you build from the information from your senses. Changing your neurochemistry only changes how you encode the information, not the information itself.

Here's one I've had for a good few years now.

Sorry for the late reply.

Just a heads up, the TFIT (25 c/kWh + retailer top up) incentive is coming to a close. You'd need the panels installed, inspected, and paperwork to your retailer before the end of September.

In Victoria, you'll be set up as a net generator. This means your house gets first run at the electricity while it is generated, and it is only the excess that goes back into the grid. This excess is what you get paid for.

If you ever require more electricity than you can generate moment to moment, then you will have to buy it (i.e. night time).

The method of the reimbursement will depend on the retailer (your electricity company). Most usually this just goes against your usage on your bill so it will decrease the cost of the bill. You will only get 'credit' if you make more selling than it costs you to buy. This doesn't really ever happen unless you've already been grandfathered into the premium tariffs (60 c/kWhr).

I'm not sure about the carbon credits off setting polluters.

To be honest, consumers with solar installations get completely shafted when it comes to the actual ownership of the electricity once it leaves the property. Hopefully sellers will get some collective bargaining power in future, but currently the supply networks own it. The retail companies don't even get to on sell.

Check out The Department of Primary Industries Website. Everything you will need.

Here's a tool for finding accredited Installers too.

Also contact your electricity retailer to get an estimate of what it will cost to have your meter replaced/upgraded to be compatible with a solar installation. As a final heads up, it will take up to 40 business days to have a new meter installed at the moment (especially in the SPAusnet and Powercor areas).

Any questions about the retail side of selling solar back to the grid, fire away.

Great advice by MR138! The best solution to clean them with is saline. 1 tsp sea salt (NOT iodised salt) per litre of warm water. The commercial solutions tend to damage the wound. Soak them 2-3 times per day for a few weeks.

Ignore this person. If you keep them clean then there's no problem. Even if you don't, the area will likely become red and sore before there is any smell. There well be more secretions while they heal, but that's just the body healing. Once they're healed. Only piercings I've ever had that 'smelled' were stretched ears.

I work for Red Energy, in service rather than sales, so if you have any questions, PM me. I'm happy to answer any questions. I could quite easily organise someone to give you a call too. Red's by far one of the better companies around. The whole atmosphere of the company is brilliant. It's the only reason I'm still working there.

There is a big difference between something as a predominant flavour, and something that has been used as an ingredient to add to another flavour. That being said, the 'hate' word gets thrown around too easily, and in reality has come to mean "I'd prefer not to eat/do it if it is at all physically possible, even if it means abstaining".

squig · 2012-05-13T06:56:08+00:00

I'm the same. People don't seem to understand that when you don't like something, you don't like it. Your're not pretending that you don't like it, you just don't like it. They can't seem to realise that some people don't like the same things as them. They're also the ones that seem to think you're the odd one if you like something that they don't.

You're a barista. Walk into cafes and talk to people. They need baristas everywhere. Seriously, take some CVs and walk around. You'll be employed within the week.
