Q. I am about to turn 66 years old. I was planning to wait until age 70 to file for my Social Security benefits because I wanted to get the delayed retirement bonus you mention so often in your column. But I found an article on the web that encourages people like me to file at age 66 and then immediately suspend my benefits. That way, if I change my mind before age 70, I can go back and get retroactive benefits until age 66. What do you know about this?

There's a kind of golden glow wrapped around the Ferrari 250 GTO. It is the essential Ferrari, the one car that sums up what the company is all about. Its story has acquired a certain romance, even though just 36 of these cars were built in odd lots between 1962 and 1964, an insignificant number over a short period of time. Car enthusiasts everywhere retell the story to themselves over and over again, as if it were some kind of incantation that might make the spirit of Enzo Ferrari walk once again among mortal men.
And yet there's a far more compelling story beneath the romance. If you leave the dirt on the turnip, as the Italians say, you get a deeper appreciation for the way in which the GTO expresses what Ferrari is all about.
As the 1960s began, it was the English sports car manufacturers that forced Enzo Ferrari's hand and led to the creation of the 250 GTO. Although Ferrari is remembered as the leading marque at the 24 Hours of Le Mans during the 1950s, the English teams had won most of the races. Jaguar prevailed with the C-type in 1951 and 1953, and the D-type earned overall honors in 1955, 1956 and 1957. The Aston Martin DBR1 had also outlasted Ferrari's best in 1959, finishing first and second.
So it's no wonder that Enzo Ferrari was more than a little concerned when the Zagato-bodied Aston Martin DB4 GT and the prototype Jaguar XKE were unveiled during the summer of 1960. Earlier that year, the FIA announced that prototype sports cars would no longer be eligible for its World Championship of Manufactur-ers and instead would be replaced by volume-produced sports cars. Ferrari's short-wheelbase (SWB) version of the 250 GT Berlinetta (coupe) had finished fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh at the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans, but the car's future looked problematic in light of the new, sleekly aerodynamic British cars.
And so Enzo Ferrari quietly commissioned a new car himself. The Old Man's design brief was straightforward. The 250 GT SWB's top speed of 156 mph needed dramatic improvement. Trouble was, there could not be so many revisions that the factory would find itself embroiled in a dispute with the FIA about the car's homologation as a production sports car, which technically required production numbers far in excess of the limited number of competition models that Ferrari planned. And, as usual at Ferrari, there was neither money nor resources to do the job properly. Most of Ferrari's engineering capability was required for the new generation of mid-engine Formula One and sports-prototype cars.
As a result, the last factory-engineered, front-engine racing car from Ferrari began as a 1960-vintage 250 GT SWB recycled from the racing team. It was fitted with the latest, dry-sump, six-carburetor, 290-bhp version of Ferrari's dohc 3.0-liter V12 from the Testa Rossa. Then the whole business was shipped off to Pininfarina, where it was done up in the bodywork of a 400 Superamerica with aerodynamics inspired by Pininfarina's Superfast II from the 1960 Turin auto show. Great things were expected from this car when it appeared at the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans, but drivers Baghetti and Tavano came back ashen-faced after their first few laps. The car's airfoil-shaped bodywork looked scientific, but it kept trying to become an airplane on the long Mulsanne straight.

Special Presentation
Thriving as Safety Professionals in the New Economy
Katherine A. Hart, Ed.D, CSP - ClearVision Consulting
For the last year and a half we have been participants in a world crisis that exploded in our midst, devastated millions, and is just now beginning to recede. As experts in disaster preparedness and response, safety professionals instinctively know that 'crisis mode' cannot be maintained and may be asking "when will we return to normal?" As reported in the Harvard Business Review, "the landscape of business has been altered forever" and leaders at all levels of the organization must learn how to operate in a "permanent" crisis mode. New buzz words such as fostering adaptation, embracing disequilibrium, and acknowledging interdependencies will be entering the business lexicon. Best practices are the norm, next practices are the future! Governmental regulation will be front and center, but with a slight twist. There is so much for safety professionals to focus on, but with a twist. Learn how to thrive and flourish in this brave new world.
It's Not Another Hat! It's an Opportunity
Thursday, March 11 • 1:00–2:00 pm
In today's environment of organizational changes, new initiatives and greater expectations, SH&E has probably never had a better vantage to demonstrate its value to the organization. The characteristics of SH&E are highly compatible with new movements of sustainability and corporate social responsibility, not to mention safety's drive to effect change in the culture of the organization. At this facilitated roundtable session, you will work as a group to determine some of the opportunities that exist for SH&E to gain greater recognition of value and rise to a higher level of excellence in these changing times. You will then develop a strategy to take back to your workplace to make that opportunity happen.
Build a Change Management Plan Roundtable
Friday, March 12 • 1:00–2:00 pm
Develop the framework of your own change management plan as you progress through the education components of this symposium. You will receive a tool to use during the symposium to reflect on the topics delivered and how these concepts can facilitate your overall change management plan. You will complete this plan at group roundtables and have your peers review your plan and provide input to help you achieve change successfully in your organization.

run run run/stuff my face stuff my face....
September 20, 2011
I'm back to exercising but my weight is at a standstill. What's worked for you? I'd love to lose 30 pounds. Also...any ideas for controlling your diet for someone who really enjoys the culture of food?
I'm a 5'9" guy, currently weighing in around 195. I'm not too broad but a little thicker than I would like. I've had a reasonable but annoying belly for the last 15 or so years.
Even when I was doing crazy vinyasa yoga 5 times a week, I never really got rid of the belly. I was probably eating too much, as is my pattern.I would feel pretty good about being 160, but even in my yoga days (6 years ago) I never got below 165.
Currently I'm trying to do 20 or so minutes of a grueling HIIT routine (4 short sprints around a basketball court, jumping rope on one corner, 10 burpees the next corner, medicine ball slambs the next corner and squats with a 50lb sandbag on the next corner. I've been at it a couple of weeks.
I don't feel like I'm eating all that much, but I guess the evidence is there. I'm also a nurse, and work 12 hour shifts and end up eating a fair amount of Lorna Doones during work to keep from getting mental. Also...I confess to a daily hot chocolate from D&D. It's a long damn shift. I also really, really love to cook. It's hard for me to imagine sticking with some diet that sees food as units and doesn't really allow me to have some freedom in what I cook.
Any thoughts? I'm thinking maybe cutting out the hot chocolate in the morning would be a good start, maybe replacing it with tea. What's worked for you? I'm tempted by a paleo kind of diet, but the idea of eating that much chicken really grosses me out.

Portion control. Eat slower. Let your body process the food you've taken in before you decide you're still hungry and go for more. Give up alcohol, if you're drinking any now. Drink plenty of water, and only water.
Ask about the nutritional information of the hot chocolate at D&D next time you're there. I didn't find any readily available information on their website. I found out yesterday that a Chick-Fil-A large chocolate shake has 113g of carbohydrates. Knowing that is enough to make me think twice about getting it the next time I'm there.

Substitute the Lorna Doones with something that has a high caloric density, and eat less of it. Maybe granola bars? Chew gum instead of eating on the job, if possible. Drink water instead of eating cookies. Put a little lemon in your water if it's too bland, or try tea. A cup of tea, even with a teaspoon of sugar, instead of a packet of cookies, is great (that's 15 calories instead of 140).
I don't think your hot chocolate is the problem, I think it's the all-day snacking on cookies. They don't fill you up, but they have a lot of calories. Instead of skipping the hot chocolate, have them make it with skim milk. A large (20 oz) nonfat hot chocolate from Starbucks has 320 calories. A self-serve packet of Lorna Doones has 140. It's the cookies that are getting you, not the cocoa.
Also, logging what you eat for a week or two will really help you get a handle on "this is what I am eating that I don't need to eat" or "here is a place in my diet where I can substitute something that has a low caloric density for something with a high caloric density." I'd start there.
Also, it takes up to six weeks for exercise to have a visible effect. Keep at it.

Estimate how many calories you need each day to maintain your weight. There are a number of calculators that will help you do this. One formula is
Harris Benedict
. There are others, too, but whichever one you do, usually attempt to underestimate your activity level. Once you have an idea of how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, come up with an eating plan that comes in under this amount by around 3500 calories/week (roughly one pound of weight loss) to 7000 calories/week.
You can fill your allotment of calories however you want, although you'll probably notice the best results if you take in a lot of protein and vegetables, and very little added sugar and other refined simple carbs. So, getting rid of Lorna Doones and hot chocolate would be really good ideas, since you get hardly any nutritional value out of these calories, and they're simple carbs that are quickly converted to fats if they go unused.
In short, the important information you need is: (1) how many calories you need to ingest each day to maintain your weight (although this will at best be an estimate); (2) the caloric value of the food you're eating. Once you know those things, you can eat any kind of food you want, provided you come in below your maintenance level.

I am not a dietitian --or your dietician. But what works for me is making sure I get enough fiber each day before indulging in nutritionally empty sweets. I still indulge, but in smaller amounts. I like high fiber cereal mixed with slightly sweeter medium fiber cereal.
12 hour shifts as a nurse are unforgiving---patients often wonder why nurses are overweight (at least in the US) -- but work rules stack the deck against you. You are literally sacrificing your own health for other people's.
I suggest making healthy nuts your treat during work--maybe with a chunk of dark chocolate. You'll get protein for energy, and the healthy fat will make you feel satisfied.
Try to drink only half your DD hot chocolate.
When you eat sweets--pay attention to whether or not it's "worth it". For example, would half a Godiva hot chocolate made at home taste better than the DD? I find it easier to say no to cheap treats when I realize "that didn't taste as good as I thought it would".

I like diversity in food and am not good at eliminating things or creating random rules. I am good at internet access and being a slave to the computer and documentation and arithematic. After having read about how effective food diaries are, I started one on fitday and picked a target per-day calorie count.
In order to beat the game, some things naturally get cut out (pasta, bread), but others are surprisingly well within target (cheese, chocolate, in reasonable portions) and others can fall within the rules if cuts are made that day somewhere else (McDonalds, Subway).
So far, I have found it surprisingly easy and even fun to stick with this. I can say it has been effective and that I will continue to do it, but cannot give any specific numbers because I don't keep them (it's part of the game, for me. I play by the "zipper rule" of how the clothes fit). I have found that if I am not entering the data
that day
things get fuzzy and I may when I finally enter that data found that I lost the game on a couple days especially while traveling.
Also, FWIW, I don't have any intense exercise right now except a lot of walking.

Yeah, the snacking thing is probably what's doing you in. It's so hard though when you are working a crazy shift to not just throw your hands up and eat Lorna Doones.
For me, Weight Watchers really, really worked. You can still have Lorna Doones, just not as many. It really teaches you to look at food in terms of its nutritional value. One thing I loved about WW, too, was that veggies were 0 points. Total free pass. So, pack some veggies and maybe some low-cal dip and when the Lorna Doone monster strikes, eat some of those. Plan your meals ahead of time also.
A lot of it is just having discipline. You know what you have to do, but doing it is what's hard.

Cooking at home is one of the healthiest choices you can make! But you have to use that hobby for good rather than evil. Look up healthy recipes with lots of veggies and whole grains. It shouldn't be difficult to get creative with this and still appreciate food for what it is, rather than making it into a bunch of "units," as you say.
Avoid making desserts, casseroles, or pasta dishes. And when you do, take the high-cal stuff to work for everyone to share. Better they get fat than you.

MyFitnessPal is what I use to keep track of my calories. If you have a smartphone, you can use the camera on it plus the app to scan barcodes of anything you eat, plus it has a tab for recipes where you put in all the ingredients and it does all the nutrient/calorie math for you. It's very informative and enlightening, or it was to me, anyway.

Portion control. Eat 10-20% less than your normally would, and dial down the snacking. Worry about the other stuff later. Paleo is a great way of eating (and doesn't require massive amounts of chicken, not sure where you got that) but is a big change, you're likely to do better with small steps.

I agree with Leezie that Weight Watchers might be a good choice for you--you have plenty of flexibility in how you "spend" your points. And you can fill up on a ton of low-point veg so you don't feel hungry.
This website
has lots of veg recipes (with points), plus zero-point veg soups; maybe you could have that as a snack?

Cut out carbs, sugar, and fruit. Eat as much as you want of everything else. Forget counting calories. Lose weight.
You can cheat a little bit, but when you do, only cheat a little and really savor it. You'd be surprised; you can get as much enjoyment out of two pieces of chocolate as you can a whole bar.

You sound like a prime candidate for the
"No S"
diet. You can eat any kind of food you like, and no foods are off limits. However, you cannot eat Sweets, Snacks, or Second helpings, except on days that begin with S. Cook whatever meals you like, eat the foods you enjoy, don't worry about calories or nutrient ratios or cutting out whole food groups. But don't eat multiple portions, skip dessert most days, and don't snack between meals.
You might modify it a little if you work on weekends and have other days during the week, making your days off your S days and your workdays your no-S days. Basically, you need to find ways to deal with work stress that don't involve eating crap food. Whether that means using your breaks to go outside and walk around the block, or playing music you enjoy, or whatever, do that. And honestly, if your work schedule is making you "mental" to the point where the only way to get through it is to distract yourself with snacks, perhaps you ought to think about finding a way to transition to a job that better suits your personality. But using food as a reward for working is not a good habit to get into.

Cut out those cookies! Excess carbs will make you stay fat. If you must snack, snack on veggies, meat, or cheese.
Seems like the word paleo gets thrown out around a lot but not everyone is on the same page as to what it means or what you should and shouldn't east, so while my diet is pretty close to a paleo diet, I just call it "low-carb, high fat".
I'm 5'6" and used to weight 220 lbs at my fattest. At first, I did the usual. Hit the gym like crazy and eat less, while taking standard nutrition advice "Stay away from fat, eat your whole grains, eat your fruits and veggies." I restricted calories and lost weight.
It worked for a while, and I went from 220 to 170 in a year. I was slacking though after I hit my goal weight and that number started to rise again. I really felt like I was on a diet and I kept "rewarding" myself with terrible foods.
But then I started reading more about nutrition and what makes us fat and I changed my diet completely. I was stunned at the rate I lost weightfat, and I didn't even have to go to the gym.
For reading/viewing I reccomend 3 things. Robert Lustig's lecture "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" available on Youtube. Tom Naughton's documentary/educational film "Fat Head", available on NetFlix and Hulu for free and finally Gary Taubes "Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It".
All of these things contributed to what is now my "diet". I actually don't even want to call it a diet because its just the way I eat, and how I'll probably eat for life.
From Mr. Lustig, I got scared away from sugar. It really hit home when he compared the side effects of drinking too much with almost the same consequences of excess sugar intake. Hell, even the American Heart Association says males shouldn't have more than 100g of added sugar a week. Some people do that in one hour of one day.
From Tom Naughton, I learned that fat is nowhere near as bad as most people think it is and actually very beneficial. Finally, from Gary Taubes I learned the how terrible the carbohydrate can be in terms of retaining and making new fat.
Since you love to cook, I recommend finding some low carb cookbooks. Particularly, Dana Carpender's series on low-carb cooking. If you find the low-carb lifestyle restricting, remember the 80/20 rule: Follow the diet without fail 80% percent of the time, and don't worry about cheating the other 20%.

I am with
- all about food diversity and my own little form of gamification. I lost a little over 30 lbs this summer by cooking my own food using healthy recipes from Epicurious (e.g.
Self on Epi
Eating Well
, and similar sites. When I come across a recipe that doesn't already have nutrition information calculated for me, I use the recipe analyzer at
Nutrition Data
. I started a tumblr with pictures and nutrition analysis of what I ate, but got bored and stopped updating it after a short while (message me if you would like the link). Basically, I didn't ever want to feel deprived of any type of food or flavor, so I made sure my portions were reasonable (i.e. under my calorie limit for the day, when added up) and took everything in moderation, including the moderation! I use the
app for iphone to track the calories of what I am eating on the fly - I think that the ability to look up calories/nutrition information is key for whatever diet you are undertaking, and that the constant monitoring and recording (not as onerous as it sounds!!) really works wonders. I barely noticed it after a couple of days. Finally, loseit has a very nice web community, and I would recommend joining it to get some encouragement and accountability regardless of whether you have a smartphone (you can also message me if you'd like to be loseit buddies).
It sounds like you really have the exercise part down - congrats and keep up the good work!

Forgot - I very very rarely buy premade sweets. If I indulge, it's almost always because I am being social at some event or because I have made something indulgent from scratch. Maybe you could bake yourself some cookies and bring them in to work (added bonus - if you feel like sharing, all the compliments from starving co-workers are a non-food reward that you can enjoy).

Exercise is good for your health, but weight loss is all about caloric deficit.
Get rid of all the mystery and just track your calories. I use fitday.com, although it is starting to feel kind of dated.
Unless you're very unusual, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you maintain a deficit, and you'll lose weight. You can have hot chocolate and cookies and you can cook whatever you want. It's just about the total calories. Once you get a handle of how much you are taking in, you can decide where you want to cut.

It might just be too soon for you to really see much in the way of benefits but you should also measure yourself. You could be losing fat and gaining muscle. Muscle is more dense than fat so you could be getting thinner without losing any weight.

Echoing others' advice to track what you eat, and holy moley does your new workout routines sound intense! Kudos! But I think the fact that you love to cook is really going to help you out here. I wouldn't see it as "No, I can't cook this, it's too carby/fatty/sugary/whatever", but rather "This dish is delicious. How do I make it so that it fills me up with less calories, but without sacrificing the tasty?"
Some examples might be:
- making
chicken and mushroom marsala
, minus the chicken, swap in some swiss chard or other green to bulk it up. You still get that chickeny/umami taste (from the broth and the mushrooms) plus the decadence of a marsala sauce. But you're also upping fiber, which is good for you plus keeps you full.
- try a pureed vegetable soup. Oh man. I just made a huge pot of cauliflower soup with chicken broth, roasted garlic, sauteed onions, and bacon. Yes, I used 6 strips of bacon in the soup, and yes, I fried those onions in the bacon fat. But there is also a whole head of cauliflower in there, and it made like 12 cups. Once pureed (immersion blender), it was silky, comforting, bacony, hearty... you can sip that all day at your station (assuming you're allowed to eat there?) and supplant your cookie habit. Split pea with smoked pork, and Navy bean w/ mushroom, bacon, and a dollop of tahini are great too. They cook up fast, and you can keep a big container at work for a few days.
- when you make something indulgent, portion it out more. So, a rack of lamb? Eat that over 3 or 4 days, and pair it with a big crunchy salad, some quinoa (cooks fast & mixes well with whatever chopped up roasted/sauteed veg for a quick side), etc. That way it still feels like you're eating really awesome things (because you are!), but you're again getting full on the less-caloric stuff, while enjoying the "bad" food as a highlight.
- Expand your spice rack, if you haven't already. Smoked paprika is my new favourite thing. Also, a lot of Asian grocery stores will sell intensely-flavoured pastes/sauces that can bring a whole new dimension to your typical steamed green beans or new potatoes or whatever.
I think this kind of thing works for me because I love tasty vegetables only a little less than I love meat, and because I don't have a huge sweet-tooth (instead, I am a salt-fiend). For a sweet kick, maybe try bringing fruit with a dessert-y sauce? Apple slices with caramel sauce, or a banana with some Nutella? (Obviously, the key is to portion out the sauce before hand so you don't go crazy.) You get the sweet kick, with the bonus of the fruit which should fill you up more than cookies. And I don't think it's much more difficult to eat "on-the-go" than cookies or other prepacked snacks would be.
You can definitely do this. Good luck!

Like you, I hate tracking 'units'. Honestly, it makes (my) life miserable. I can avoid calorie-counting and portion control by following a low-carb diet and I've lost 35 pounds of extra pregnancy weight this way over the past year. Whatever diet you choose to follow, it really is the food. I do a difficult workout that lasts over an hour at least three days a week with a whole lot of other ladies. If exercise were enough, we would not be carrying extra fat, and sadly, that is not the case.
I want to second d1rge's recommendations of both Gary Taubes' "Why We Get Fat..." and Dana Carpender's cookbooks (at least one is available for kindle). And I would also recommend Tim Ferriss' "4 Hour Body" at the very least for his eating plan and the way the book makes you want to get shit done (his self-discipline and enthusiasm for some wacky self-experimentation are actually really cool and inspiring). Get that on kindle too, if you can. Way cheaper. You get a whole cheat day! (as a dude, at least. I've gone with one cheat meal). You'll find that the once a week cheats are all the goodies you need.
**Just thinking about your work situation - go ahead and follow what I call the 'naughty' low-carb diet before taking a look at Ferriss' diet plan. Have whatever you want, so long as it's low carb. Have bacon and pepperoni. Eat nuts and cheese sticks at work. Buy smoothies and protein bars (I look for the bars that have 30 grams of carb or less. Avoid sugary smoothies). Basically, don't try to go with an extremely strict diet right off the bat. You'll lose some weight, then you'll stall, and that's when you'll find the motivation to transition to a better diet.

while working in the hospital, i also fell prey to the sinister call of lorna doones (and saltines, and graham crackers). instead, i now grab a carton of skim milk, another hospital 'nourishment station" staple. actually has some nutritional benefit and is reasonably tasty. in the pediatric wards, they have chocolate milk.

I love food and eating and cooking. My cooking now centres around savoury dishes, with occasional excursions into rice or dairy-based desserts that are only lightly sweetened. Being really into cooking is helpful, not harmful, because I really enjoy making things from scratch.
I had to look up Lorna Doones. Dude. Yeah, if you eat half a packet of shortbread every shift, it's going to be hard to lose weight. Your number one challenge has to be to find something that compensates that isn't as energy dense and doesn't spike your blood sugar. Crazy thought here -- do you like hard boiled eggs? Especially, does peeling them do anything for you? (A little break, a little interesting thing to do with your hands). There's less energy in a hard boiled egg than a shortbread biscuit but I guarantee you can't eat a dozen hard boiled eggs in a shift.

I'm also in a job where I end up eating to pass the time and I'll nth the value of a food diary. I just use the notepad app on my iPhone. It seems that writing it down is all that it takes for me. But definitely do it each day; the day after its just a blur. Write down every packet of chips and cookies. You'll be amazed how much extra food you eat.
For snacks stick to nuts and dried fruit w/ a bit of dark chocolate. Stay away from refined flour and sugar. I find cans of fizzy water are a great substitue for a snack. It still feels like something that you shouldn't have b/c its in a can (if that makes any sense) also seems to fill the void spaces.
Which brings me to the South Beach Diet. My sister lost 70 lbs using this diet and after I read the book I literally stopped eating refined flour and sugar (and beer, DAMN). I don't touch bread or pastries anymore and I don't miss them AT ALL (and I live in France and used to be addicted to both pastries and fresh bread). Those calories are empty. Don't eat them. I still feel hungry if I follow the South Beach recipes (and I suspect you would too at 195 and active) but I try to follow the spirit of the book, I just eat bigger portions than the author recommends.
By the way, quinoa truly is a miracle food. The wife has been getting me to cook more of it and it really fills you up. Something like twice the protein of brown rice.
Good luck

You long shift coupled with snacking on sugary carbs to survive it is probably not so great for your metabolic response. Replace the cookies with protein and some fat to keep you sated and don't go long periods without a snack, eat every 3 hours even if it's just some string cheese or nuts or yogurt. Then you won't have sugar crashes and binge on unhealthy snacks. It might make you nervous at first--eating constantly in a steady timed manner made me uneasy at first because I felt like I was ingesting too much food throughout the day total--but if you give it a couple weeks and do it faithfully you'll likely find it smooths out your cravings and you'll actually get leaner (at least, that's what happens to me). As soon as I slide back into skipping meals/snacks every 3 hours (which paradoxically makes me eat less overall, or so it feels) The weight comes back, even if I don't particularly binge or ingest more calories overall. It's really weird. But seriously. Try eating 6 times a day at regular intervals.

Buy some
powdered protein
and make a couple of shakes to taste with various ingredients (milk/water/yogurt/oats/milled flaxseed/peanut butter), refrigerate, and sip throughout the day. Eat a good dinner that includes a good protein portion. You might want to start the day with a muffin or a couple of hard boiled eggs if just drinking your meals doesn't fill you. Figure out your calorie limit, and don't go over it.

I know that paleo eating, and low-carb high-fat diets are the cool thing right now, but I don't believe they are healthy.
I think you should get the book 'Eat to Live' by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. He recommends a vegetarian diet, but one high in green vegetables, and low in carbohydrates, particularly white/refined carbohydrates. One nice thing about his recommendations that is nice is that he doesn't ask you to count calories, or units or anything like that. Instead, he gives a big list of foods from which he encourages you to eat as much as you like.

Anecdotally, I recently decided to force myself to incorporate a fresh veggie (okay, sometimes it's frozen or comes in the food I get at restaurants) in my lunch and dinner. (yeah, I'm BAD for disliking all but a few veggies--anyway...)
If I was unable to do it at lunch, then I made myself eat an apple. I found myself less hungry/craving sugar than normal; my sugar cravings before bed also went away. Apparently, apples help regulate blood sugar and are one of the better fruits to have on hand from a carb perspective; they store well, too.
I work out doing cardio and that's pretty much it; I don't eat MORE food, but lately, my weight crept up a couple pounds (3, specifically) and extra exercise didn't take it back off.
Strangely, eating this new way made the weight go back down to normal after about a week. Then I got busy with family stuff and work, stopped my new eating regime and did what I used to do, which is eat what was there or not eat at all and have a huge dinner. My weight crept back up last week.
I'm back to the forcing veggie/apple thing again and I've lost 2 of the 3 pounds again since Saturday. Is there science behind it? Nope. But I'm not measuring or tracking or whatever with food/calories/carbs/sugar/oil, either. And I'm pushing 40 and have a mega-sedentary job.
My layperson understanding is that I wasn't getting enough fiber before and eating too much processed refined sugar; it's easily stored as weight and digested much faster without extra carbs/protein to slow your digestive system down. When I added back the fiber, my body took longer to break down the carbs/sugar in the remainder of what I was eating, and my blood sugar was more evenly regulated. I couldn't even finish a cupcake yesterday at 4 p.m. because I was FULL from my apple at lunch!
soup keeps you much fuller for longer
. If you're a nurse, why not take soup and an apple to work for awhile? It's easy, stores well and if you end up not eating it, you can have it the next day.

I've been working at the same place for almost 7 years. They announced earlier this year that our office is moving to a community about 45 minutes away, and confirmed a couple of weeks ago that we would have a January move date. Not interested in a commute, I love be able to go home for lunches or do banking or whatever so I have been keeping my eye out for jobs that fit my skillset, which is hard to do in the community I live in. One caught my eye in August, so I redid my resume, sent it in and heard nothing. I had given up, then last week, I get an email asking if I can do a phone interview... so I take my car and park it on a dead end road and take the call... after I was done, I spent all weekend kicking myself for the things I should have said. It has been so long since I've had an interview and am terrible at selling myself, so I was sure I wouldn't get a call back. Well what do ya know. I come home today to a voicemail. They want to do a second interview! I am so excited, even if this is as far as it goes, I am just thrilled that I apparently said something right the first time!
Good Luck, Hyper! Is the second interview an "in person" interview? Maybe you should jot down some of your strengths and role play with a close friend to help you learn how to better "sell yourself". I hope you get the job if it sounds like one you would enjoy!

Harper ramps up his war on independent thought
In the conservative quest to shape public debate in recent years, no tool has proved more useful than the think tank.

Beyond the Economic Crisis: The Crisis In Trade Unionism

Lac-Mégantic: A Social and Ecological Tragedy
Québec has just experienced the most brutal ecological catastrophe of its history. On July 6, 2013, a train loaded with 72 cars carrying crude oil derailed during the night. It exploded in downtown Lac-Mégantic, a small municipality (pop. 6000) in the Eastern Townships. A series of explosions and a fire completely destroyed more than 30 buildings including the municipal library, the town's archives, heritage buildings, businesses and residences. Police have confirmed that 50 people were killed by the blast.
Reinventing Progressive Politics
We are so accustomed to the connection between political parties and democracy that to question the relationship between the two might seem absurd. But for those who recognize the multiple crises faced by humanity — the destruction of our environment, climate change, the ravages of unfettered finance capital, the undeniable limits to growth — the failure of our liberal, multi-party democracies seems increasingly obvious.
Liberals or NDP need to take control from all-powerful 'corporate elite'
With the next federal election a little more than two years away, it is time we started asking the Liberals and New Democrats what kind of government they will deliver if either one can bounce the Conservatives from power.
The Rise of the Native Rights-Based Strategic Framework
We have come too far as Indigenous peoples to give up who we are. We have always been kind and we will share the wealth and abundance of our homelands with our relatives from across the pond. Instead of lessons on how to survive the harsh winters of our lands, today we are offering lessons on how to be resilient and to overcome the oppression from the archaic oil sector and in our own government who have lost their minds with power.

save file default
When i write something and i click save, it defaults to "documents" folder, which is empty. all my folders are in "My documents shortcut". How do i get al of thsi together, so i don't have to search for "My documents shortcut" all the time.
I have everything i do in My documents Library, but it's hard to find. so, how do organize this so all of my documents are in the default "my documents"?
|My System Specs

Don't quite understand what you're saying... By default, My Documents folder is in the Documents Library. So, if you search Windows Explorer by way of the Documents Library, you are searching all of your folders within that library, of which My Documents folder is there by default.
Or at sometime past, did you choose to save a document in another location? If so, it may be saving all documents to that folder. You just need to "Save As" and choose the My Documents folder.
|My System Specs
|21 May 2010
save as default
let me try to explain.
If I write something in WORD and and I got to the save icon, it defaults to "My documents" which is an empty folder. I don't know why its empty. It should have all of my folders.
then I have to pull down the menu, go to "desktop" then in desktop go to "My documents shortcut" where all of my files are.
I want all of my files to be in "My documents" AND "My documents shortcut" they should be identical, the shortcut file being nothing more than a ...well, shortcut.
|My System Specs
|21 May 2010
I'm really confused... How are you saving documents to a shortcut? If the default save directory is My Documents then why would you need to go to Desktop > My Documents?
Think you can post a snip or screen shot of what you're trying to describe?

I don't have Word, but from my word processor I started a document. I hit File, and save...

If that is not what is happening in your case, it may be that, somehow, the My Documents folder is not included in the Documents Library.

2 - I write something.
3 - I click on the SAVE icon on the toolbar.
4 - It defaults to My Documents. (where it says "Save In")
5 - My documents says "Empty folder"
Now, here's the catch. Try and follow this.
If I go to
It opens to DOCUMETNS LIBRARY
In DOCUMENTS LIBRARY There is MY DOCUMENTS which is NOT empty . It has all of my documents.
What i want WORD to do is to default to the MY DOCUMENTS that contains all of my folders and NOT to the empty "My Documents"
I do not know how to post pictures of this process, or i wold.
thanks for all your help. If one of you is willing to do a remote assist that would be great.

Forgive me if I haven't fully grasped your problem or your frustration, but as your example above states, if you save the document in the default location, which, as you say looks empty, but when you go to Start > Documents, your documents are there, isn't it saving to where you want them to be?
Also, what are the formats of your other files in the folder? If you create a file in Word with a .doc extension and there is no other file within the folder with a .doc extension, when you save you document, it will appear that the folder is empty--the folder is just showing other files with the same extension. I hope that made sense. Let me try to explain in other words: If I save a picture, my default location is My Pictures folder. If the picture is a .png and all of the other pictures in the folder are .jpg, then when I save the .png file, the dialog box will not show any other files--the .jpg's are still there, but the dialog box show the files of the same extension within that dialog box. I hope that wasn't confusing.

I think Doc and Ping are out to lunch. (little humor, much needed)
"If you create a file in Word with a .doc extension and there is no other file within the folder with a .doc extension, when you save you document, it will appear that the folder is empty--the folder is just showing other files with the same extension."
No. When I click the save icon it shows NO FOLDERS. It says FOLDER EMPTY. it is NOT referring to the file i am trying to save, but to the MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER.
In other words i believe I have 2 MY DOCUMENTS. One that has all my files, which I find by going to MY DOCUMENTS SHORTCUT, and the other which has no files.
Is this clearer?

This is most likely the last thing I'll ever post here. I've finally finished my official artist website and blog, and that's where I'll be moving to. Come have a look. Read some stories.
You'll need to use a device with some kind of cursor rather than a touchscreen for it to work:
This piece is inspired by a chapter of Moby Dick called "The Whiteness of the Whale." Throughout the chapter the narrator, Ishmael, explores how white is simultaneously a color of purity and horror. Ishmael's explanations of whiteness are themselves created out of the whiteness, and thus, through their inadequacy, saturated with a fear of the ineffable.
"Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright." - p180, Moby Dick
I am as disappointed as everyone else when it comes to congress's recent failure to pass a universally favored, painstakingly bipartisan bill on background checks. This is a sign of the times. A moment of shame for a system growing more corrupt by the day. Americans didn't have a say in this fight. Lobbyists did.
But that's not the only thing bothering me about this issue.
The rhetoric in support of gun control is exploitative and false. Popularized by the liberal media is the idea that gun tragedies like Newtown can be fixed by gun control. How? By stopping the mentally ill from buying guns? The mother of the Newtown shooter bought the gun he used. Not him. Stop criminals from buying guns? Legislation won't stop straw purchases or black market sales. If someone wants a gun in this country they can get it. Anyone who wants to hurt other people can do so. It's not hard. Like it or not, the internet has a limitless supply of recipes for homemade explosives. Even if guns are harder to get, the killers won't be stopped.
So who are the killers? How do we stop them?
Setting criminal violence aside, the issue of the day, concerning the tragedies in Tucson and Newtown and others, is the violence of extreme outliers, the designated mentally disturbed.
The individuals behind these tragedies do not represent the average person. Their logic is not the logic of the popular consciousness. They are extreme cases, the inevitable byproduct of a large population. There will always be outliers. There are geniuses and there are madmen in this world, and everything in between. Every dream has been, is being, and will be dreamed, and to each other sometimes our dreams look more like nightmares.
In other words, there will be killers. There will always be killers.
But right now there are more killers, worse killers, than is natural, not because it's easier to get guns—that hasn't changed in a while—but because the popular media is obsessed with killing.
Because politicians and pundits find it necessary to mention the unfortunate deed of one sick individual over and over again. Because the media publishes the name and picture of tragic shooters and their families, tells the story of their lives and attempts tirelessly to speculate on the state of their minds. The only other citizens who get such treatment are celebrities, but we shy from the term because we're afraid what that implies.
The truth of publication and popularization is that, in this world, it is a good thing. To a sad and lonely mind, it is a reward to be on TV, to be recognized for perhaps the first time in a life, to be mentioned by the president of the United States. It is a smaller deviation from the popular logic than you may think to decide national fame is worth killing for.
People, why are we experiencing more acts of violence in this country? It's not because of guns, I can tell you that.
It's because we reward them.
This article just reaffirmed all of the conclusions I have come to about the contemporary arts.
In the debate as to the identity of the post-postmodern, Vermuelen and Akker propose the concept of the metamodern, using the idea of metaxy to describe a state in between modernity and postmodernity that creates something wholly new through the balancing of two poles, it "negotiates between a yearning for universal truths and relativism, between a desire for sense and a doubt about the sense of it all, between hope and melancholy, sincerity and irony, knowingness and naivety, construction and deconstruction."
Our generation is defined by "informed naivety," "pragmatic idealism," and "modern fanaticism." It is an acknowledgement of the irony of postmodernism, but also filled with modern enthusiasm. In other words it is about the desire for universal truth despite the knowledge of its impossibility, and the acceptance of faith as the best tool to pursue what we truly want.
Check Out Part Two of my new original radio series The Wild You!
Tune in this Saturday at 6:00 to hear the third installment. (Streaming in the top right corner)
The Wild You:
For two years Jay has forgotten his self and his past, hitching across the country. But when an ill-tempered train conductor breaks his leg, he's forced to recuperate in a desert trailer park named Starport. While he struggles to hold his wild self at bay, Jay rediscovers music, friendship, and love. But is it enough to stop him from destroying himself and Starport with him? Written and directed by David Seamans. Music by Dustin Lowman. Recorded live with the Middlebury Radio Theater of Thrills and Suspense. Part two of four. 54 minutes.
Luz (Hebrew: 'לוז') is the name of a small bone in the human body, at the top of the spinal column (the seventh cervical vertebra) or at the base of the spinal column (the coccyx), according to different traditions. Muslims and Jews believe that this is the bone from which the body will be rebuilt at the time of resurrection, and share the belief that this bone does not decay.[citation needed]Arabic books refer to this bone as "'ajbu adh-dhanab" —(عَجْبُ الذَّنَب).
There is an aggadah (legend) in the midrash that the Roman Emperor Hadrian asked how man would be revived in the world to come, and Rabbi Joshua Ben Hananiah replied that it would be "From Luz, in the back-bone." "Prove this to me," said Hadrian. Then the Rabbi took Luz, a small bone of the spine, and immersed it in water, but it was not softened; he put it into the fire, but it was not consumed; he put it into a mill, but it could not be pounded; he placed it upon an anvil and struck it with a hammer, but the anvil split and the hammer was broken. (Ecclesiastes Rabbah xii / Genesis Rabbah xviii).

Acute encephalitis syndrome
Acute encephalitis syndrome is a group of conditions of that mainly affect the brain and is caused by a wide range of viruses, bacteria, fungi, spirochetes, parasites, chemicals and toxins. It is a condition where the outer covering of the brain gets inflamed due to an infection, and exerts undue pressure on the brain leading to symptoms like headaches, fever, confusion, dizziness and in some cases may lead to permanent brain damage and coma, convulsions, seizures and hallucinations.
The most common type of encephalitis is Japanese encephalitis followed by other types like those caused due to the West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), Western equine encephalitis virus and many more. In India it has been seen that the number of people suffering from acute encephalitis syndrome is the highest in regions of Assam where 80% of the people suffer from this disease, followed by UP. Read about the recent outbreak of encephalitis in UP.
The most astonishing fact about this condition is that it is a zoonotic disease, i.e. one that is caused due an agent transmitted from animals to humans.
The diagnosis of encephalitis usually involves a spinal tap (where a sample of the patient's spinal fluid is taken and tested for the presence of a bacteria or virus), CT scan and in some cases an MRI may also be needed.
Treatment involves strong antibiotics (in the case of infection by bacteria), surgery to drain the excess fluid buildup (that happens sometimes) and palliative treatment like pain killing drugs and ventilator support (to help the patient breathe) might also be needed.

Outstanding Casita
If anyone is looking for the absolutely perfect vacation spot in Albuquerque, look no further than this gorgeous casita. The location is central to everything and is stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need for your stay. However, the best thing about this casita is the owners themselves. They go out of their way to make you feel at home and are an invaluable source of local information and restaurant recommendations. Thanks again Jill and Marty for everything and we can't wait to come back in May.
Balloons Gallore
La Vista is a wonderfully cared for home with a true Vista. Our daughter woke every day to run to the windows overlooking the river and mountains to yell, "balloons". It became a competition to see who could guess which day would have the most balloons floating right across our view. The home has every imaginable item you might need so you do not need to worry about forgetting anything. The owners are incredibly responsive and obviously take great delight in welcoming their guests. The separation of space was also very nice given kids and in-laws. We highly recommend "La Vista"!
Casa was Fabuloso!
Lovely accommodations and comfort. The house was well equipped and very clean. Conveniently located to get to all parts of Alburquerque. Large upstairs apartment was great for extra privacy. Patio was nicely secluded and great for entertaining the whole family. Would recommend this place to all of my best friends.

'Halima Flogging' In Sudan Appears As Amira Osman Due In Court September 19
'Harem Flogging' in Sudan Sept 2013 from Anne Enke on Vimeo.
This video of a young woman named Harem being flogged in Sudan was sent to me yesterday. Facebook had taken the video down, due to protests by the men who engage in and support the flogging of 40,000 women a year in Sudan that is too violent.
The hypocrisy of administering this brutal punishment to women in Sudan, and then demanding that it be removed from the global public view on Facebook or YouTube confirms what weak men these guys are in real life. They may wear the blue uniform of Sudan's public order police, seeking to administer Shariah laws throughout the country, but they are afraid to stand before the world in valour for their beliefs.
The flogging of women in Sudan is misogyny or hatred of women at its worst. At AOC we are committed to exposing the deep and growing hatred of women in Sudan, administered under the ultra fundamentalist umbrella of Islam. This issue is on the front burner again this week, as Amira Osman prepares to return to court in Khartoum on Thursday September 19.
'Halima Flogging' September 2013
It's unclear if the maker of the flogging film is friend or foe to Halima. The thug flogger knows that he is being filmed. As in our earlier flogging video, the men are laughing and the flogger asks "Are you taking this?" The amateur filmmaker answers yes, and the thug with a whip says "Name it Halima's Flogging".
My contacts believe that the bystanders belong to the police or are court employees because of the angle of the video showing they are within the courtyard where flogging is performed.
The thug officer who performed Halima's Flogging repeatedly orders her to "Cover your legs, cover your hair, let us move on." You see the officer whip Halima's head, which must be covered and is exactly why Amira Osman is in court on September 19.
Amira refuses to cover her head and would rather be flogged than accept this demand from a growingly fundamentalist regime in Sudan, one that seeks to make women invisible. Amira is due in court about 2am East Coast time, and my friends will be calling me to wake me up with the details, where I will broadcast them on AOC, Twitter and Facebook.
Article 152 in the revised Sudanese criminal code of 1991 defined only in a very vague manner what is considered to be offensive and immoral as a disruption to the public order. In the case of women wearing indecent or offensive clothing, it's not defined who will decide what warrants a woman's arrest. The police officer? The judge? Ordinary men on the street? No other aspect of the Public Order Regime has altered the daily lives of Sudanese women like Article 152 of the Criminal Act of 1991 that says:
"(1) Whoever commits, in a public place, an act, or conducts himself in an indecent manner, or a manner contrary to public morality, or wears an indecent, or immoral dress, which causes annoyance to public feelings, shall be punished, with whipping, not exceeding forty lashes, or with fine, or with both; (2) The act shall be deemed contrary to public morality, if it is so considered in the religion of the doer, or the custom of the country where the act occurs."
The Hisba or Hesba system in which any man in Khartoum can have any woman arrested and whipped for just about any reason is not part of the Sudanese constitution. Rather, the constitution acknowledges Sharia laws as a reference. While the Sudanese government doesn't organize or employ the Hisba men enforcing what they consider to be Islam's laws, it doesn't discourage their behavior either.
Within this context, misogyny against women runs rampant in Sudan, making it a very unsafe place to be a woman. Any man can have a woman arrested and whipped for just about any reason. As Sudanese lawyer and women's rights activist Lana Mhgoub wrote yesterday about her own flogging:
The method of arresting (women in Sudan) is very humiliating… . He could be having a rough day or her just decided to harass that woman.
I'm working with women's rights activists in Sudan to tell more stories about the brutal treatment of women under Article 152. We are asking for pictures of the flogged women without showing their faces or using their names. We are asking for pictures of their scars, pictures of their clothes and the words of their stories.
I have also reached out to a prominent Muslim woman filmmaker to join our cause of stopping the public flogging of 40,000 women a year in Sudan. We must record this growing brutality against women in documentary form. ~ Anne
Power and Courage to the women of Sudan and the men who support them.

Weight Loss Is Not the Same As Fat Loss
The real trouble with losing weight generally, is the focus is on entirely the wrong thing. You don't actually need to drop excess weight, what you need to lose is fat. The weight protects itself when you lose fat. It really doesn't matter everything you weigh, so long as your mirror reflects back to you a body that pleases you.
The waistline takes care of itself, when you concentrate on losing fat instead of weight. Should you build muscle at once, then body-contour moves towards what seems appealing all by itself. Your body knows how to appear great. It simply cannot manage it when you cover it in fat.
Does that mean throw away the scales?
No, the scales might be useful tool provided that you recall what they are really measuring – whole body weight. Pound for pound, muscle takes up one fifth less space than fat. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it makes a massive difference. Muscle tissue can also be smoother and not as 'lumpy' than fat so replacing fat with muscle provides the body a smoother look.
Companies like Weight Watchers center on reducing body weight by performing a weekly weigh in. A dramatic weight loss is often produced by the start of a diet in the very first week or two – this is extremely supporting – and the likes of Weight Watchers utilize this to convince you that what they do works. In reality it's mainly water reduction and that occurs when you dramatically reduce calorie consumption, or alter the types of food you consume. Of course when the water is finished, you endure dehydration, drink more, as well as in succeeding weeks fight to get rid of excess weight. But that early success has you hooked on such an Weight Loss System and you're discreetly encouraged to feel that your failure is clearly all down for your requirements – not the defective Fat Loss System you're using.
Even if you're alert to the body fat issue and make use of a scale that measures body fat, you're apt to be misled. These scales operate by quantifying the electrical resistance of your body and using that info to undertake a body fat percentage computation. The problem is that electrical resistance is influenced by the quantity of water in your body and so as you lose a great deal of water in the beginning of a diet you may be tricked into believing you've lost body fat.
We often consider amounts and electronic gizmos without question – particularly when we've spent plenty of cash on a hi-tec body fat measuring scale that costs around GBP300. The reality is these devices are extremely wrong rather than worth spending your cash on.

Best dad ever demands Lady Gaga/Madonna mega-concert. Paul and his son even started a Change.org petition to make this happen. Check it out here.

A little proof that Madonna is a nipple-flashing hypocrite.
I must admit, I blinked when she did it, and I and missed the exact micro-second when she flashed her middle finger at the television. But the media told me all about it, and now I'm darn peeved! I blame the NFL and NBC for not sending a rep to my house and changing the channel on my remote control. I knew they had chosen a lineup "full of performers who have based their careers on shock, profanity and titillation," and yet I still let my kids watch it. Why did I do that?!
Gervais' only strong moment from the Globes after a monologue that went after low-hanging fruit instead of Hollywood elite…
Some other notable moments from the Golden Globes before the list of winners and some memorable speeches: Peter Dinklage, perhaps appropriately, beat a guy from "Too Big To Fail." Stringer Bell lives, and this time he beat Det. McNulty (Idris Elba defeated Dominic West — all in the game, yo). Madonna brought her English accent to the proceedings, though it's possible that her fake British accent is better than Elba's real one. Laura Dern beat Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for Best Actress in a TV Comedy, which is as unlikely as Laura Dern beating two velociraptors in Jurassic Park. The Best Actor in a Drama category may have been the most handsome of all-time: George Clooney, Leonardo Dicaprio, Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt? Every man in America turned a little gay during that category.
