He considered whether to make his dinner now or take a glass of whiskey out to the deep porch that wrapped around the old house and watch the sunset first. These days, he found out about things after they'd happened. George knew how fast things could go from situation normal to all fucked up. He knew Jack would warn him if things ever went too far south.
Feretti, Kawalsky, McKay in his irascible brilliance, Jake Carter, Samantha and all the Atlantis Expedition when the months stretched to years with no contact, and Daniel, Janet Frasier and the Novak girl, when he'd lost Prometheus and the last chance to reach Pegasus. They'd shared a glass of whiskey on the worst nights, when they'd lost people Earth could not afford to lose, and toasted them. Jack O'Neill had become a friend and not just a soldier George respected. He still had most of his clearances, but Hank Landry was a territorial jackass, who did his best to make sure George didn't know much of what went on under the Mountain any longer. He would admit to missing the adrenaline that came with danger and the rush of relief when it was faced down, and, God knows, he missed knowing about those dangers.Įvery time he spent a day with his grand-daughters – and he was grateful beyond words that they and their parents came back to Texas with him – he couldn't help but wonder how close threats most people on the planet had no – clue existed were looming. No regrets, but he missed the people who had become more than subordinates. It was time to pass the burden to younger, stronger shoulders, and he had done so. He remembered every soldier he'd lost, but he'd served long and with honor. He did not miss waking each morning to the back-breaking weight of being responsible for the lives of the men and women under his command and eventually the fate of the planet. He missed his wife, but he did not feel alone. He loved his grand-daughters with an uncritical love that couldn't exist between parent and child and the girls loved him back. It felt good to live in a place so connected to his past and his family. He'd bought back the ranch that once belonged to his Hammond grandparents. Coming home to West Texas satisfied him down to his bones. George relished most aspects of his retirement.

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings.The research was funded by the Academy of Finland. Radioactivity in the brain was measured three times with the PET camera: after a palatable meal (pizza), after a non-palatable meal (liquid meal) and after an overnight fast. The participants were injected with a radioactive compound binding to their brain's opioid receptors. The study was conducted using positron emission tomography (PET).

This creates a basis for future research and hopefully we will find ways to study and describe the development and predictors of addiction, obesity and eating disorders, says Researcher, M.D., PhD.

It was a surprise that endorphins are released in the entire brain and that the nutritional drink had a larger impact. These findings open new opportunities for treating overeating and the development of obesity, says Professor Lauri Nummenmaa from Turku PET Centre. The present results suggest that overeating may continuously overstimulate the opioid system, thus directly contributing to development of obesity. The opioid system regulates eating and appetite, and we have previously found that its dysfunctions are a hallmark of morbid obesity. According to the researchers, it is likely that the endogenous opioid system regulates both feelings of pleasure and satiety.
The magnitude of the opioid release was independent of the pleasure associated with eating. The study revealed that a significant amount of endorphins is released in the entire brain after eating the pizza and, surprisingly, even more are released after the consumption of the tasteless nutritional drink. Opioids are associated with pleasure and euphoria. However, both types of meals induced significant release of endogenous opioids in the brain. The recent results obtained by researchers from Turku PET Centre have revealed that eating leads to widespread opioid release in the brain, likely signalling feelings of satiety and pleasure.Įating a delicious pizza led to significant increase of pleasant feelings, whereas consumption of calorie-matched nutritional drink did not.
