I'm not a volunteer observer, but I am the lead developer on the web app they now use to enter the observation data. The app is a result of the 'paperless' initiative the NWS (and NCDC) has. The person on the other end of his phone call is probably using this web app I work on.

Where I work (state government in the US), I accrue 2 vacation days per month. I have about 30 days in the bank. I'm going to take the next six months and travel the world with my wife, while working remotely. I am going to work at 50% of full-time and use my vacation days so I only work about 40 hours per month. My wife and I saved money, vacation days, and credit card points for about 2 years for this trip.

SEEKING WORK - Portland or Seattle. Full-time on-site or remote.

I'm interested in this too.

I'm currently using tastypie, but will consider Django REST Framework in the future, based purely on the fact that this is a new release and has a deprecation policy. tastypie is still only a pre-1.0 beta. A better evaluation is certainly needed though.

I don't think it's swinging back, but I would like to hear his reasons for claiming it is.

Nice work. Keep it up. As long as you're eating enough nutrients, your body will adjust to a healthy weight. Like others have said, try adding more healthy fats to your diet. They will help provide energy as well as satiety. What you're doing is sustainable. Visit marksdailyapple.com to see how thousands of others live like this.

Fats are a slower source of energy, but not less efficient. At 9 calories per gram vs 4 for carbs, it's no wonder that our bodies choose to store fat as a fuel reserve. Yes, carbs are also stored, but only a very small amount that can be diminished quickly.

Also, there is a difference between your goals and the goals of the OP. He clearly wants to lose weight while you sound content with maintaining. He could certainly transition to a less strict diet once his goals are met.
