Water level forecast poor for shippers
WASHINGTON — As the 2013 Great Lakes shipping season begins, the latest water levels forecast offers little encouragement for commercial carriers.
Shippers should expect to encounter continued low water levels for the next six months and the possibility of having to leave some of their cargo dockside.
While water levels are not expected to reach record lows, as they did in Lakes Michigan and Huron in January, they are forecast to remain well below long-term averages, according to Keith Kompoltowicz, chief of watershed hydrology for the Army Corps of Engineers district office in Detroit.
Lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior have been below average for 14 consecutive years, the longest stretch in their history. All the Great Lakes are below their long-term average, according to the Corps of Engineers, and are expected to remain so over the next six months. Only Lake Superior is above its 2012 level.
The good news in the forecast released on Wednesday is that the seasonal rise in water levels of Lakes Michigan and Huron this summer could return to normal, which is about nine to 12 inches. Last year's seasonal rise was just four inches, Kompoltowicz said.
Low water levels create navigational hazards for commercial carriers, and that has economic repercussions for all Great Lakes stakeholders, including marinas and waterfront restaurants.
While water levels are largely a function of Mother Nature, the impact of low levels would be less severe if the federal government were more aggressive about dredging, some Great Lakes stakeholders say.
"We can't control Mother Nature, but what we can control is the dredging issue," said Glen Nekvasil, vice president of the Cleveland-based Lake Carriers' Association. "We have more than 18 million cubic yards of sediment clogging our water system."

Cocoa Beach surfer Kelly Slater will miss the Billabong Pro Rio event with a heel injury.
- Filed Under
Cocoa Beach's Kelly Slater has withdrawn from the Billabong Pro Rio ASP World surfing event.
"I injured the inside of my left heel in Java and then re-opened it again the following week at Cloudbreak," Slater said. "It became infected and I flew to Australia to get it treated and stitched in hopes of making it to Rio, if not for Round 1, at least for Round 2. I've been in the water since getting it stitched and while I can go straight, I can't do turns at all right now so I'll have to pull out of Rio.
"It's unfortunate, but I'm just going to focus on healing up as soon as possible right now. Good luck to all the ...

A railway trek to Dudhsagar Falls
The monsoon is slowly building to a peak, and this is the time to explore the magnificent Dudhsagar Falls on the Goa-Karnataka border. Three railfanners took, quite literally, the railroad less travelled to explore this route. For those unfamiliar with railfanners, they are to trains and railways what birdwatchers are to birds. They are enchanted with the minutest details of the railway -- from locomotives, stations and carriages to rakes, signals, cabooses... you name it. Over three days, these intrepid enthusiasts planned a unique "trek" to Dudhsagar Falls in the Western Ghats. They met at Hubli, Karnataka and boarded the Haripriya Express to Londa, and then hailed an auto-rickshaw to Castle Rock. From there they trekked along the jungle-fringed track, lashed by monsoon downpours, to Caranzol. The weather being unkind, the station master advised them to head back to Castle Rock or Londa for the night. On the second day, they went to Dudhsagar and spent the day at the falls, indulging their passion for trainspotting. They returned home the next day.
These images, shot by the railfanning trio of HARISH KUMAR, RAGHUPATHY JAYARAMAN and BEN HUR, capture some of the excitement of an unforgettable monsoon trek along the railway.

Appropriate Technology: Value Adding Application for Technology Education: Students Are Given More Oppotunity to Be Creative, to Think Logically, to See and Understand a Technological Problem in Total, and to Act Responsibly as They Work to Solve Problems That Are Important and Intrinsic to Them
Wicklein, Robert C., The Technology Teacher
What is Appropriate Technology?
Appropriate Technology (AT) concepts have been discussed throughout this past century by notable leaders and scholars such as Mohandas Gandhi and Julius Nyerere; however, the undisputed founder of the AT movement was E.F. Schumacher, a British economist who worked extensively in India and Burma during the 1950s and 60s. Schumacher encapsulated the philosophy of AT in his book, Small Is Beautiful (1973), where he described the central doctrine of AT as (a) simple, (b) small scale, (c) low cost, and (d) non-violent. The U.S. Office of Technology Assessment has further refined these tenets by describing AT as (a) small scale, (b) energy efficient, (c) environmentally sound, (d) labor intensive, (e) controlled by the local community, and (f) sustained at the local level (Office of Technology Assessment, 1981).
Many definitions of AT have spawned from these criteria; however, when the scope and focus of technology education is considered, the following explanation incorporates the core of the AT thrust with the fundamental base of technology education. The following working definition of AT will serve as the foundational base for this article.
Appropriate Technology seeks to aid and support the human ability to understand, operate, and sustain technological systems to the benefit of humans while seeking to be in harmony with the culture and the environment.
Appropriate Technology and the Technology Education Curriculum
The majority of real-world technological problems and their plausible solutions do not require complicated "high-tech" applications. The technological problems that most of us face on a day-to-day basis are best solved by employing much lower levels of technology than what is currently taught in many technology education classrooms/laboratories. Therefore, the need exists for the technology education field to address technological problem solving from a more holistic and appropriate level; that is, less high tech, more thoughtful problem solving, using available resources.
What would be different about this curriculum than what is currently being used? What would be the benefit of this type of program for students and the profession? Possibly, this form of technology study would lend itself to helping students learn to analyze and solve problems within a more realistic context. Starting with their own school and community and then progressively moving out to the state, region, nation, and world, students could benefit by developing a focus on learning that reflects the application of AT. For example, addressing environmental recycling within their own school, planning and designing recreational facilities for their school or community, or designing small, sustainable water filters for communities in a developing country, students are able to broaden their knowledge of technology and the world outside of their immediate area. The difference this form of technology education takes is that the students are given more opportunities to be creative, to think logically, to see and understand a technological problem in total, and to act responsibly as they work to solve problems that are important and intrinsic to them. The use and application of tools and other technological devices within this context are studied and used as they are applied rather than in the narrowly defined constructs of a typically prescribed technology education classroom activity.
The constructs that make up a well-designed AT curriculum activity are well supported in Standards for Technological Literacy, (2000/2002). Standards 4 through 11 address the student's ability to develop an understanding of technology and society and the processes used to design solutions to technological problems. AT provides opportunities for students to engage in real human-based needs where technological problem solving applications are needed and make a difference. …

"View the surrounding cities" Fremont Peak State Park Things to Do Tip by Ewingjr98
Fremont Peak State Park Things to Do: 8 reviews and 37 photos
From the summit of Fremont Peak, you can see about 30 miles in every direction: Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Salinas and just about everything in between. Only the southeasterly view is limited due to the large TV, radio, and cellular towers on the neighboring hill, plus the Gavilan Range extending in that direction is pretty significant, maybe restricting the view to 10 miles. I have read that Fremont Peak was one of Steinbeck's favorite spots to visit to view his hometown of Salinas, and it's easy to understand why.
Monterey and Pacific Grove are 25 miles away to the southwest of the peak. Downtown Salinas is only 10 miles away, also the the southwest. San Juan Bautista is 6 miles away to the north, and Hollister about 9 miles to the northeast. Far off in the distance to the northwest you can just make out the northern end of the Monterey Bay at Santa Cruz perhaps 33 miles away.

Aaron Hernandez pal faces fed charges in Boston
Aaron Hernandez pal faces fed charges in Boston
A friend of ex-New England Patriot and accused killer Aaron Hernandez today pleaded not guilty to federal charges including lying to a grand just that was investigating how the gun that killed Odin L. Lloyd got from Florida to the murder scene in North Attleboro.
An indictment says feds traced three guns recovered in the Lloyd investigation to a Florida hardware store and shooting range, and that Oscar Hernandez, who is not related to Aaron Hernandez, lied about owning a Toyota Camry they believe was used to transport at least one of the weapons.

I just got a mystery roll of film, which seems to be Kodak made B&W. The Bar code on the Cassette is 010764. the trailing 4 indicates a 36 expsosure roll of course, and the first digit is a "do not care", so the middle 4 digits are the film type. it is not the same stuff as Arista 400 as that has a code of x1029x. Both the base and the emulsion are much darker in colour than Tri-X. It came in a clear and grey Kodak style can, and the package says made in USA packaged in Mexico. The leader has a little notch the same as other Kodak made films.
I don't have any Tmax 400 to compare, so I was wondering if any of you have a loose roll that you could check the numbers printed under the bar code on the cassette?

Chris Brown Breaks Silence On Rihanna Incident
Posted: Wednesday – May 27, 2009 @ 4:23 PM
For nearly three months, R&B singer Chris Brown has been keeping a very low profile, keeping public appearances and performances to a minimum.
On Tuesday night (May 26), Brown, who celebrated his 20th birthday earlier this month, made direct contact with his fans globally for the first time since he allegedly attacked then girlfriend Rihanna in early February.
During a bowling game, Brown revealed that he is currently working on a new album entitled Graffiti, and while he didn't provide a release date for the project, he announced that the first single will be released this summer.
Brown went on to indirectly address the pre-Grammy altercation that has, for many, forever changed his public image.
"We ain't going nowhere," he stated. "Everybody that's hating, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love y'all. I ain't a monster."
On Wednesday, rapper Bow Wow announced his support of Brown, who he says is like "his brother."
Following a live phone call, prompted by view requests, Bow Wow made it clear that their friendship had not been affected by the recent events.
"That's my best friend, I hold him down," said the Atlanta-based former child star. "He good with me. F**k what a hater got to say. Ain't nobody f**kin' with that boy, man."
Chris Brown is due in court on Thursday (May 28), where he will face one count of felony assault and one count of making criminal threats.
During his April 6 arraignment, Brown plead not guilty to both charges.

Wednesday Open Thread
The movers will be here at 8:30 to start packing me up and I'm still not sure where I'm going. I think I found a place to rent for the rest of the month, but it's not yet signed and done. Cutting it close is an understatement, since I have to move out on Thursday.
Here's a new open thread, all topics welcome. And please stop the insults to other commenters. I don't have time to babysit the threads. Even long time readers may find themselves in timeout if they keep doing it.

I'm kinda stress, i went for ultrasound yesterday and the ultrasound tech said i have too much fluid in my season... within a month, i gained 9 pounds.... i went from 137 to 179... i don't even know how much i will gain b4 birth..... what should i do to lose some of these water in my system?

I am sure it was a typo....but the u/s tech said you had too much fluid where?? If you have too much fluid in your uterus, nothing can take care of that, so I just wanted to clarify.
If you are retaining water, like in your legs and feet, yes - drink more water. A good general rule is to drink 50% of your body weight in ounces a day - so if you weighed 150, you would drink 75oz of water a day. Also keep your feet and legs elevated.
Also, if everything else is OK, you're healthy, know that sometimes jumps like this happen. I had a big jump and then this past month I've only gained two pounds max. That's how my last pregnancy was too and it made me nervous, but my doc said that can happen, as long as the baby is fine, you are healthy, eating well, staying hydrated, getting some exercise, you are fine. These are all good tips, but try not to let it worry you too much if everything else is healthy. If you're very worried, call your OB and tell her/him what the tech said.

Panama Health Insurance

Accidental Injury or illness in a country far from home can be a very scary experience. If you are without proper health insurance or cannot demonstrate ability to pay at a local hospital, it can mean the difference between life and death. Imagine lying on a stretcher in the hallway, waiting for treatment, while proof of liquidity is confirmed.....many Expats have paid the ultimate price! Excellent Health Insurance coverage is available to protect you in the Republic of Panama.
High quality hospitals, physicians and medical facilities are available in Panama. Most doctors have been trained in the USA, Canada or Europe and speak English. Be Prepared! Private hospitals and medical professionals expect to be paid and will require some guarantee of payment before treatment. It is not uncommon for medical care to be denied by private hospitals. Without financial resources (cash/credit cards) or proper health insurance coverage, you may find yourself transferred from their hospital to a Panama government facility. The public hospitals are adequate, but Panamanian citizens will have priority over your treatment.
If you have an existing "Home of Origin" health insurance, some of these carriers from the USA, Canada and Europe MAY provide coverage for emergencies while traveling.
Is a Panama "Waterspout" covered?

With the occurrence of a large "Waterspout" in the vicinity of Punta Paitilla/Pacifica on Christmas Day several years ago, I was asked to express an opinion about the coverage available in the average Panama Fire policy.
If your policy has "extended coverage", the "windstorm" optional risk should pay for damages caused by wind (vendaval), Hurricane (Huracan), Tornado, or Waterspout (Tromba Marina). Driving down Via Brazil that afternoon, I couldn't believe my eyes as I witnessed the"monster" move near Paitilla, see the collection of pics below taken by Mike Horrell.
Here are some pics of that incident:

Texting while Driving Killing More teenagers than DUI
Friday, May 30 2014 @ 11:34 AM EDT

Views: 2,354
According to Angel Reyes, III, of RB&R:
Texting while driving now kills more teenagers than driving while intoxicated. Over 3,000 teens died in 2013 while they tried to send a text message when they were behind the wheel of a car. Approximately 2,700 teenagers died as the result of driving while intoxicated.
The Centers for Disease Control recently conducted a study, in which almost half of teenagers admitted to texting while driving.
Teens who admitted to sending and receiving text messages while behind the wheel also reported engaging in other risky behaviors as well. This includes driving under the influence of alcohol. Teenagers who texted while driving were five times more likely than others to drive after drinking. Young people engaging in the risky behavior were also found to be more likely to not wear seat belts.
In 2011, at least 23 percent of automobile accidents involved cell phones, totaling 1.3 million auto accidents over the course of a single year.
Teenagers are often more...

Most every company issuing auto insurance in Panama offers emergency roadside attention for accidents and breakdowns.
The purpose of this article is to remind everyone who drives in our very "special" traffic to put the Roadside Assistance stickers on their windshields. If you suffer a mechanical breakdown, flat tire or collision. With the emergency Tel number easily in view, a call to your insurance company's "asistencia vial" service will bring help. Be sure to keep a copy of your auto policy in the vehicle, the company operator will ask for the policy number.

We can cover your new car before you put the key in the ignition! In order to issue an automobile insurance policy, we will need the following information:
1. Year, make, model and $$$ value of vehicle-if you wish full coverage (Proforma Invoice helps).
2. Name of insured (Owner) and additional drivers? Is the policy to be issued in your name or that of a Corp. or Foundation?
3. Car registration, Copy of Passport, Ced, Divers license and residence address.
4. Tel #, Cel#, email address?
5. Vehicle inspection (at our office or ins. company), if it is a used auto. No inspection necessary if vehicle is new.
�Persona Natural� form (if property is in your name) or Persona Juridica form (completed by legal rep. of Corp.). This is an "anti money laundering" form required for every Panama policy with over $300 premium (more bureaucratic BS that must be kept on file in our office) Fill in the sections identified as �Datos Generales� and �Datos Ocupacionales� and sign where it says �Firma del Cliente�.

Award-winning violinist Alexander Markov gave a free concert to students at Frank Sinatra School of the Arts Wednesday as a part of his effort to spread classical music to youngsters.
Ahead of his Carnegie Hall concert on June 5, Markov played pieces by Bach and Paganini for about 50 students of an orchestra class at the Astoria high school.
The free performance was the latest of his series of outreach trips to city performing art schools.
"Nowadays if you go to classical concerts there aren't many young people coming," Markov said. "What I'm hoping is with this school outreach I'm doing before big concerts kids realize good music is good music."
Markov took questions from the students and lectured them on a variety of subjects, such as how long to practice each day and about finding their own style.
Students enjoyed the violinist's visit not only because of his performance, but also because he made jokes and surprised them.
For example, when someone asked about his bow, he pulled out one that lit up bright red like a light saber wielded by a villain from the dark side of the Force in the Star Wars universe, to their amazement.
They had the same reaction when Markov took out his custom gold-plated electric violin, which he uses for his "Rock Concerto" shows. It makes a sound similar to a rock guitar and reflects how he blends the classical and modern eras, showing students how to be open to a wide variety of music.
"That's his style. It's very attractive," said Logan Vrankovic, a senior, who wants to be a composer and conductor. "He carved his own path and it's a really inspiring message for young musicians."
Although Markov stopped by to teach the children, he ended up learning something himself.
"The main thing I'm learning is that music should be fun," he said. "If you do it right, it's fun, you enjoy it and it becomes one big party."

Awards & Rankings
Some might find all this misery, whether it's stripped back like Sweetness or as explosive as She's Building Castles in Her Heart , a little masochistic for their tastes. Those, however, who have followed Hinson's career since 2004's debut, The Gospel of Progress, will be relieved by a compelling return to Gothic American themes which repays their early conviction that he is a unique songwriter capable of converting lyrical gloom into musical glory.
There are a lot of sweeping strings throughout ...and the Pioneer Saboteurs, but don't come along expecting a smooth ride. Although he might look and occasionally sound like Richard Hawley's younger, scruffier brother, Hinson shares little of the Brit's romance here.
MojoIts troubled state suits the melancholy in Hinson's soul, his broken burr laid like a wreath across lingering strings and the wistfulTexas twang of his tunes. [Jul 2010, p.104]

"Preprogrammed robot," "gun ban extremist," "left-wing radical," "closet Marxist." This is how Curtis Stone describes supporters of Initiative 594 like me. He states I "engage in disinformation, propaganda and evasiveness."
I would describe myself as a concerned citizen who believes in the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms, but who also agrees with the eight out of 10 Washingtonians who support universal background checks.
Initiative 594 is endorsed by the Washington State Public Health Association, the Faith Action Network, the Washington Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and dozens of other community organizations. A more complete list of supporters and a link to the complete text of the initiative can be found on the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility website at wagunresponsibility.org.
Licensed dealers in Washington are required to conduct a background check for firearms sales, to help ensure guns stay out of the hands of criminals.
I-594 simply extends these existing background checks to all gun sales. I have no objection to private gun ownership. I do however object to a private party selling a weapon to a convicted criminal, no questions asked, especially when a background check typically takes only 90 seconds.
A survey of prisoners who committed crimes with handguns found that nearly 80 percent of them got those guns through private transfers. When private sellers are required to complete a background check on a prospective buyer, these sales will be greatly reduced.
The rights of law-abiding gun owners will not be affected. They will still be able to buy the same guns they buy today after passing an instant background check — the same check they would have to pass if they bought a gun from a licensed dealer.
The federal government is legally prohibited from creating a registry of any kind. Background checks submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System are destroyed within 24 hours.
I-594 does not change this requirement. Background checks work — since enactment in 1998, over 2 million gun sales to people prohibited from possessing guns were stopped.
I-594 won't stop all gun sales to criminals or the mentally ill, but it is a common-sense, simple step to help prevent illegal gun sales. Please support I-594 to help make our communities safer.

So you are another person who believes that the punishment of the criminal should be placed on the shoulders of the law abiding citizen? So the bad guy who knows it is a felony to even be in the same room with a firearm goes out and buys a firearm the law-abiding citizen should be punished? You really need to open your eyes, it's not about keeping the criminals hands off firearms, it's about the $45 to $50 its going to cost to do those background checks, if not more, Good revenue for the state for sure! Bad guys will get what they want no matter what, they will just break into your house to get it. Stop supporting punishment for all for the one bad apple. Criminals will be criminals no matter what, if you take all the firearms away from the citizens the bad guys will still continue to get them do you NOT understand this? 594 stops nothing for the criminals NOTHING!!! How is that so hard to understand? Ignorance must be bliss!!!
chicoli 1 year, 4 months ago
Cowboy, there are many law abiding citizens that are safe until they commit a crime. Not too long ago a local guy who, up to the point when he killed his wife he was a "good guy with a gun", a law abiding citizen. There are many others who, in appearance, are good guys but have anger problems and impulsivity, reason enough not to bear arms as this are candidates for crimes waiting to happen.
Mr. Zimmerman, who proved to be a the facto scumbag murdered an innocent boy, had threatened his wife with a gun, and still has his firearm, "legally". Like him there are many so called "good guys with a gun" who should not have a gun.
If we could only save the life of a single boy or girl, I think it is worthy for all of us to wait a few extra minutes for a proper background check. Real macho, good guys should not be intimidated by a simple, fast efficient background check. How is this so hard to understand, it is beyond the most simple capacity to grasp common sense!
barracuda 1 year, 4 months ago
If I remember correctly...and while I dislike the court outcome, Zimmerman was found to be innocent by a jury. Unless you know otherwise, he still ok to own a gun....
Cowboy01 1 year, 4 months ago
The law abiding citizen already went through the background check to begin with, and any time you buy a gun you get a background check unless licensed otherwise. You make absolutely no point here, and Zimmerman was found justified. Furthermore this will not save anyone, if someone wants to do something stupid, they're going to do it regardless of law, you should know this, and you should also know that the state is loving the dollar signs about this bill. Fast and efficient, YA RIGHT!!!

I-594 is about as smart as attempting to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
chicoli 1 year, 4 months ago
Common, barracuda, you're more intelligent than this. Many drunk drivers with DWIs get their licenses suspended. How tough is it for sober people to own or drive cars? Well, you should demonstrate you're a safe driver by taking a TEST, and demonstrate prove of liability insurance. I wish we could only pass legislation to require a TEST and prove of insurance before you could own a gun! You see, to own a gun is not really that tough in this Country. In Tennessee you can buy a gun at a hot dog stand, hot dog included! But their murder rate is very costly, indeed!
barracuda 1 year, 4 months ago
Surly you are smarter than that! Paco, drunk drivers drive everyday! It is illegal to drive drunk! And there are people who drive without insurance and licenses every day. That is a proven fact! You can expect to convince me that all of the DWI offenders stop driving. The law don't always work! Wow!
We will disagree........... If I want to sell my neighbor a pistol for his personnel protection, we must go through a lot of paperwork, and pay a fee to the state to prove nothing... Something the state already knows (we both have permits) they just want gun serial numbers and the money. And it will not stop any criminal from getting this gun if he wants to break into his house and steal the gun... This bill will do nothing to stop the idiots from getting guns!
And you are correct, guns are easy to get... they are stolen every day! And again, this law wont change that fact!
Chas 1 year, 4 months ago
More guns make us more safe? Guns deaths, actual facts—prove this to be false. If an individual accidentally discharges a firearm in a public place, if their children discharge a firearm the parent has left unsupervised, if they are convicted of violence by any manner, their guns and right to possess them should be lost, irrevocably, for life.
Our rights have always been contingent upon good and lawful behavior. "Stand your Ground" laws are perversions of American justice that reach back to our earliest colonial era. Gunpowder was the greatest explosives available until the late 19th century. Town armories controlled the supply and how much anyone could possess. The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was a lesson the Signers, Framers, knew well.
barracuda 1 year, 4 months ago
There are a lot of crimes committed by "illegal" guns. Some are illegally obtained guns (stolen). Some of the people are convicted felons. Some of the guns are illegally modified.
How is this new law going to change these stats?
It is not going to change the stats at all!
So, why is this new law needed?
Answer: Money and control!

Outstanding! I'd could support private background checks if I could be assured that our government would not use the information supplied for the NICS check to compile an owner's registry. But I don't trust our government, state or federal, to obey the law. In fact, after six years of Obama, I pretty much expect that government won't obey the law.
For those fools that think that disarming the law abiding will decrease crime, I commend John Lott's book, More Guns, Less Crime. For every accidental shooting, there are hundreds of cases where people with firearms prevented a crime.
PearlY 1 year, 4 months ago
What is this, the third letter by Ms. Ervin, repeating her standard false talking points? Yet she refuses to deal with the facts that are pointed out in response.
Ms. Ervin, you're not the only one who objects to a convicted criminal buying a gun - which is already illegal. I do too, but the fact is, this law will do NOTHING to stop that, because convicted criminals will buy their guns from fellow criminals or have their girlfriends, unconvicted drinking buddies, or others buy their guns for them through straw purchases. That's how they get their guns now, as the Department of Justice has found in its studies, and that's how they'll continue to get their guns if this law is passed. It will make no difference.
So please, Ms. Ervin, stop pretending you're a Second Amendment supporter. You are not trying to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. You are trying to criminalize the innocent transactions of law-abiding citizens and make it more burdensome and dangerous for law-abiding citizens to own firearms.

In the group thread of a Facebook community I belong to, I read lots of good advice for this frustrated woman, with people recommending various diets and types of workouts. Yet if we back away from the question, and ponder the underlying assumption, it's possible she doesn't need to make any big changes. If she wants to KEEP the weight off once it's lost, she might just be right on track with her 1 to 1 1/2 pound weekly loss. I'll make a leap of faith and assume keeping the weight off after her weight loss program is over is her longer-term goal. Which means losing 1 to 1.5 pounds per week might be best.
A few years ago my sister and I were asked whether it is safely possible to lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks, and we essentially said it's reasonable, sustainable and realistic long-term to lose 1.5 – 2 pounds per week if you combine
Of course, that is hard for menopausal women, and our fitness pro colleague Tamara Grand has some spot-on suggestions and resources for staying the nutrition and fitness course once midlife changes everything!
In this post we wrote about the differences between losing weight and maintaining weight loss, you can see in the chart that to LOSE weight, reduced caloric intake is the easiest way for most people to achieve negative energy balance, while to KEEP it off, physical activity is the strategy to prevent weight regain.
Kymberly: When you are done reading this post, check out how you can choose the "right" diet. You will find it far easier to cut out a 500-calorie drink than to exercise strenuously for about an hour. Ouch, it hurt to say that as a fitness pro who prefers moving more to eating less, but there you have it!
Alexandra: So our advice to you (and the millions of other women with this same question) is to perhaps focus more on your intake than your output. Once you reach your weight goal, you can switch that around (to a point – the fluffy, puffy, whipped creamy coffee drinks are still an issue).
Kymberly: Brooke, you asked about supercharging your metabolism. In general it usually helps to incorporate strength training 2 -3 times a week into your workout program. Perhaps you are already doing that, given the exercise activity you mention. But if could be that your metabolism is "stuck." How can you get it unstuck? Read this: If My Metabolism is Stuck, What Do I Do?
Alexandra: While we're at it, I'll throw in my occasional mantra, "Never give up. Never surrender." It's from a movie that cracks me up.
A bonus item for you:
As part of a campaign with Blue Diamond I did a twist on the traditional Dolly Bar recipe that incorporates their Toasted Coconut Almonds. Easy recipe. Quick to make. Delicious to eat.

In our recent episode, Fat Burning for Women Over 50: Be on Fire, Dr. Len walked us through the sometimes confusing realities of killing off kilocalories. Once we appreciate the role carbohydrates and fat both serve in providing fuel, then we can understand how to select the "best" workout programs.
First, the goal is to have a caloric deficit to lose any weight. That deficit comes from the age old energy balance equation: take in fewer calories than we put out (eat less); put out more calories than we take in (move more). The entire weight loss picture is far more complex, affected by a myriad of other factors. For more on losing weight and fat, check out Burn a Myth to Burn More Calories (post) and Fat Loss; What Does and Doesn't Work (radio episode) . Professional alert warning system activated – it's not just about cals in and out, though you do have to start there!
Second, is that we break down carbohydrates 40 times faster than fat, with carbos supplying most of the fuel (energy) to power our exercise. Distinguish between absolute and relative numbers when thinking of fat loss. When you exercise with some intensity, you use a higher percentage of carbos compared to fat as the fuel source. However, the highest total of burned calories is what you are going for. For that, you need to suck it up and add some effort.
Higher intensity exercise burns more calories; however, a long, slow approach is better than what most of the adult population is doing — uh, as in better than not much or nuffink! But a workout with some oomph to it at a higher pace will use more total energy (calories) than the lower intensity plan. Absolutely!
So forget needing to be in a "fat burning zone" when making cardio equipment or fitness tech choices. Get in the calorie burning zone, which is also a high carbo burning zone.
Third, thanks to Dr. Len's practical tips, you now get led into the exciting, proven, no-magic-required realm of the four best training programs to maximize calorie burning and become lower fat! He recommends we try all 4 methods.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Select a cardio activity you enjoy, such as cycling, running, walking, using a row machine. Go as hard as you can for about 30 seconds. Then recover at a self-selected, variable pace for about 3- 4 minutes. Complete 4-8 rounds for a total workout time of about 30-45 minutes. Dr. Len recommends changing up the mode workout to workout, especially if you have several favorite cardio activities.
And if you forget all this, simply recite the Kymberly mantra: "Go as hard as you can, as long as you can, as often as you can." I hear the sizzle of calorie burning already!
Kymberly Williams-Evans, MA
Basal metabolism: The minimal energy expended to maintain respiration, circulation, peristalsis, muscle tonus, body temperature, glandular activity, and the other vegetative functions of the body.
zzzzzzz snork. What did that just say? In Fun and Fit translated style, that says, "If you want to burn kcals at a faster rate (helps with weight loss and maintenance), speed up your basal metabolic rate."
There are 11 variables that affect your metabolic rate. According to the Oct. 2012 issue of ACE Certified News, "exercise is easily the most adjustable variable (of these 11) in total daily energy expenditure." Current research indicates that High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is the most effective method for raising your metabolic rate and losing weight, so we'll be super thoughtful and define it. Essentially, it means alternating your workout into two speeds – very intense, and rest. The intervals can vary, such as 60 seconds work/ 60 seconds rest, or the very popular Tabata style: 20 seconds work/ 10 seconds rest, which our colleague Tamara Grand explains in this Tabata Training radio episode.
By the way, standard bodybuilding won't work for your goals, as it doesn't burn enough calories or have the required after-effects. What DOES work is sprinting, biking, boot-camp moves such as burpees, stair-climbing, weight-lifting, and many other moves where you can push yourself to a 9 or 10 level of intensity on a 1-10 scale. High intensity doesn't have to be high impact, though, in case you're not into "jumpy" moves. You could do spiderman push-ups, which are very low impact.
We were once asked about "amping up my old ass metabolism" by a reader, so you might like to read what we told her (hint: we didn't call her "old"). In addition to HIIT, you definitely want a weight training component. Our post about the caloric benefits from the metabolic spike explains the advantages of combining cardio and weight training, but in case you're too exhausted to click the link, it essentially says that "with cardio, you can burn 10-12 kcals a minute; with weight training it's only 8-10 kcals per minute. But due to a magical thing called the metabolic spike (not a volleyball term), you will continue to burn kcals efficiently for about an hour after you finish working out, even if you're sitting on your
old ass donkey doing nothing.
As to your digestion…the word "metabolism" specifically refers to the breakdown of food and its subsequent transformation into energy your body needs. The best way to make sure you are breaking down and using the kcals/ energy from your food is to do two things: 1) eat food that's a good balance of protein, complex carbs and healthy fats; and 2) eat at regular intervals. An abrupt calorie-reduction or starvation diet can severely reduce (i.e., slow down) your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by up to 30%, and a restrictive, low-calorie diet can decrease it by as much as 20%.
Basically, we just said, "Don't skip meals. Don't eat crap." You're welcome for that memorable translation!
We hope we've answered your question. If we have, go do 10 spiderman push-ups! If we haven't, go do 20!

Kymberly Williams-Evans, Ma and Alexandra Williams, MA
Nutrition, diet, and weight loss professor Dr. Holly Wyatt tackled that steamy hot, fashionable question at the recent Fitness Health Bloggers Conference we attended.
Guess what? After analyzing data galore, comparing famous and popular diets point by point, looking at short and long term weight loss rates, it comes down to …….
The best diet is the one you will actually stick with. The one you will do, do, or die. Well, not die, but diet. Apparently the actual macronutrient composition of a diet plan is NOT key to weight loss. That is, it almost does not matter whether you choose low carb, low sugar, high protein, Paleo, gluten free, dairy-free, taste-free, food combining, all organic, or any other "THE LATEST ONE WAY" out there. What matters when it comes to succeeding with weight loss is being consistent with reduced intake over the time needed to drop pounds. Remember, that for weight loss, you are looking at a calorie restricted diet with a specific duration and end point.
As well, the diet or nutrient composition that might work wonders for one person could be a failure for another. More and more, researchers are finding that weight loss diets need to be tailored to each individual. No single book, theory, method or fad will be right for the masses. You could be the one person who succeeds on high protein whereas your best friend needs to go high carb. Wouldn't it be great to be the person whose body and genes respond to a chocolate diet?
Check out Dr. Wyatt's chart tracking the results of diets varying in fat/protein/ carbo composition. Notice that at 6 months all dieters lost weight at about the same rates. And at 2 years, all dieters were still averaging similar results regardless of food make-up. Comparing the Zone, Atkins, Learn, Ornish diets reveals… envelope please… all diets had people who lost and people who gained. The key was ADHERENCE. (As opposed to say, book sales that have to have the latest gimmick to attract buyers).
Dr Wyatt also compared low calorie to very low calorie diets to assess success with losing weight. Another surprise — while the very low calories dieters initially lost more weight, at the one year mark both sets of dieters ended up at the same place. Why? Because a very low cal diet is tough to sustain. Some of you have been there, yes? To put that Fit Fact another way, a greater rate of initial weight loss does not yield a better result at end of the year.
Which brings us to the next question:
And the answer is "yes." Not "yes, go on a diet that involves you feeling like you're fighting against your food," but "yes, eat foods that are good for you and eat fewer calories than you are now." Of course, you could go on a crazy cookie diet and cut out 500 calories from your daily intake, but really? As exercise professionals and happy workout people, we were very curious how the exercise vs. diet results broke down. The last 20 years have seen percentages all over the place: 50/50 diet/ exercise; 90/10; 70/30. You get the picture. We were rooting for the exercise side of the equation as we know the benefits of an active life. Plus we like having people in our group fitness classes.
But DANG IT if current thought is saying loudly and clearly: To LOSE weight, it's all about calorie reduction. Moving enough to achieve energy imbalance takes a lot of activity. A lot. As in, if you liked exercising and moving that much, you probably would not be needing to lose weight in the first place. As Dr. Wyatt and her colleagues point out, most people find it easier to cut out 500 calories a day than to exercise for the hour needed to burn that same number. What do you find easier – cutting out one baked good or after-dinner snack per day oooorrrr hitting the gym for an hour?
The rest of your life. Moving as long as you want to stay lower weight. Because at some point, you will achieve your weight loss goals. Then you have a lifetime ahead of you to maintain. Now we are talking EXERCISE.
Yes, physical activity is ultimately the MAGIC PILL to weight maintenance and a lifelong healthy weight. More than anything else, MOVE if you want to keep weight off. More specifically, chalk up (or the modern equivalent – Add up on your phone app) your daily activity minutes. To maintain weight loss, the minimum recommendation is 60-90 minutes of low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise most days of week. That was kind of key so to repeat:
We never said a lifetime of low weight, health and fitness was easy. We did say it could be fun though! And it can be. Check out prior posts that address the BEST workout, and how exercise, even when it sucks, can make you happier. Then get busy! (Did you click any of those links? Come on now.

Kymberly: Two features I noticed and liked right away (besides the fact that the monitors were complimentary! Always nice):
1) The little gizmo is strapless. Yes, just like the dresses I never wore in college! No strap around the torso, no electrodes to hook up to. I just popped that baby onto my wrist like a watch.
Alexandra: Oh, I SO want to hook Kymberly up to some electrodes right now, just for research purposes. Say, maybe I can talk her into touching the electric fence around my garden (my 17-year-old and his friends touched it on purpose. Silly boys; shocks are for cars).
K: 2) Super easy to check my heart rate. I simply placed two fingers on top, waited 6 seconds, and voila! The number and a little heart symbol appeared. Yes, it revealed my heart rate, not IQ or waist size. Sheesh! It can also tell you how many calories you've burned.
A: Did it reveal whether or not you have a heart? One thing I noticed, since I like to wear things on my right wrist, is that the monitor really only works if you wear it on the left. I never could get a reading when I tried to use the left hand/ right wrist combo. Maybe there's a version out there for lefties.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZSvZ6FU1aA[/youtube]
K: Fine print (meaning my comments are so Fiiiine, you will want to keep reading): to take advantage of the watch, calorie burning indicator, stopwatch, alarm, and other features, keep those instructions handy and actually read them. My experience went like this — read, press stuff, enjoy beeping, get reading glasses, read the next two lines, poke at the monitor more, read more, get more beeping, distract the new puppy who wanted to chew the Omron monitor. (She liked the beeping I guess). You get the picture.
