Ind. city moves to ban roadway money collections
NEW ALBANY, Ind. -- A southern Indiana city has taken its first step toward banning charities from collecting money from motorists at intersections.
The New Albany City Council voted 5-3 Monday to ban collections on the city's roads. The council is expected to take third and final votes on the proposal Feb. 21.
Public works board member Warren Nash says 18 groups last year received permission from the board to conduct roadside collections. Nash says that while fundraising for disabled children, band uniforms and other causes is laudable, public safety should come first.
The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., reports that the proposal ordinance could carry $100 fines for first offenders.
Three council members who voted against the ordinance had pushed for alternatives that would allow charitable groups to keep raising money.

|Lorraine Brown is professor of English and associate director of the Research Center for the Federal Theatre Project at George Mason University in Virginia. She is coeditor with John O'Connor of Free, Adult, and Uncensored: The Living History of the Federal Theatre Project,a richly illustrated "scrapbook" of oral history excerpts, costume designs, posters, and photographs, and is currently editing an anthology of black plays written for the Federal Theatre.
The economic vicissitudes of the American theater began long before the Great Depression. "Gambling in theaters as real estate, syndicates that fostered cross-country touring, a monopoly booking system short-cuts to acting by methods of type casting, and long runs"1 had made the commercial theatre the special province of a limited metropolitan clientele. As early as 1910, increased costs of railroad travel made touring companies less profitable, and by the close of World War I, the Middle West, the Far West, and large parts of the South were deprived of first-rate theatrical entertainment. Experimental or art theaters, most often associated with colleges and universities, presented innovative plays that addressed current issues, but they were located in isolated communities across the country. By the 1929-30 season, most road companies had succumbed to the competition from the movies, which took over more and more legitimate theaters and killed the popular-priced circuits.2
Unable to compete with the motion picture industry, actors, stagehands, technicians, musicians, and vaudeville performers found themselves displaced by technology even before the depression. Sound films had replaced the orchestra; recorded music replaced live performance; the training of actors became less important than publicizing the Hollywood star; and stagehands and stage mechanics were no longer needed.3 The popularity of radio and a change in public taste added to the plight of those who were often thought of as a "dispensable luxury" anyway.
With the onset of the depression, producers began to close theater doors. In the season of 1931-32 every Shubert Theater in Chicago was closed for a week in March. Of the 253 companies playing in or near New York City, 213 had closed by the middle of May, and by the end of July only six legitimate theaters remained open on Broadway. During the relatively prosperous 1928-29 season, an actor in New York City averaged thirty-seven weeks of unemployment. By 1937, according to Billboard, actors seeking engagements were "at liberty" forty-seven weeks of the year.4
Relief for unemployed professional actors was first provided by private organizations such as the Actors' Fund, the Actors' Dinner Club, and the Stage Relief Fund. In these organizations resourceful, dedicated volunteers arranged for aid from the Home Relief Bureau, for medical and dental care, and for food and clothing and attempted to create acting jobs for able performers. But such aid, no matter how well intentioned, was at best sporadic, limited in scope, and occasionally humiliating. It was also soon exhausted. As the depression deepened, organized public assistance for professional actors was needed to help people who were increasingly unable to help themselves.
The Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Federal Emergency Relief Act (FERA), and federalized work-relief programs sponsored performance in hospitals, schools, CCC camps, parks, and in the streets, and provided some work for actors. But even state and federal programs employed only a fraction of the unemployed actors, directors, stagehands, and technicians, and as the depression worsened, theatrical unions became unable to care for their own members.
In the period preceding the WPA, government financing of theater as an education and recreational tool was prominent not only in New York but in the Middle West, Los Angeles, and in Massachusetts. But many persons believed that these federally sponsored activities fostered amateur rather than professional performance. And controversy arose between those who favored a social service theory of dramatics and the professional theater people whose goals were at odds with the government-sponsored theater programs.5
To Harry Hopkins the plight of unemployed theater people was a matter of grave concern. As deputy administrator of New York's FERA and later as head of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, Harry Hopkins believed that society had an obligation to conserve the talents of men and women in the arts as well as of those in the factories. After being appointed director of the WPA, Hopkins implemented Roosevelt's earlier request for a national theatrical project or series of projects that would provide musical and dramatic entertainment for small and remote communities, a long-time interest of both Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. The affinity of this concept with the philosophy of social service was made clear by the president's emphasis on the educational purpose in these projects. For the Iowa-born administrator of the WPA, the most challenging task was to recruit talented men and women who would be willing to set up and administer arts projects that could operate within a federal bureaucracy.Next

Lawmakers with oversight of the Veterans Affairs Department voiced at a House hearing on Thursday their desire to use the recent scandal as an opportunity to overhaul the agency.
Members of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee heard from private-sector medical experts, as well as a top-level VA executive, to reflect on proposals and solicit suggestions on how to improve the reeling agency. Committee Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla., said the current appetite for change presents the "opportunity of a lifetime" to institute reforms.
"It will take more than the Band-Aid fixes that VA has proposed so far," Miller said. VA needs a "wholesale systematic overhaul," to include holding senior management accountable. Miller sponsored the House-backed VA Management Accountability Act, which would make it easier for VA to fire its Senior Executive Service employees.
Rep. Mike Michaud, D-Maine, the committee's ranking member, echoed Miller's tone.
"The bureaucracy has lost its way and its focus," he said. "The time might be now to effect big changes that would put the focus back on veterans and away from a culture of complacency."
Many committee members, Michaud included, took pains to praise the "vast majority of VA employees." Rep. Julia Brownley, D-Calif., said she did not "want the men and women of the VA to be discouraged" because they were "working in a system that was doomed for failure."
Betsy McCaughey, chairwoman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths and a witness at the hearing, blamed many of the problems facing VA on "union rules," pointing specifically to a collective bargaining agreement between the agency and the American Federation of Government Employees. She accused the Senate-backed McCain-Sanders bill of being "designed to protect unions, not veterans." Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., rejected this notion, and said McCaughey was not moving the conversation forward.
Other private-sector witnesses said the problems stemmed from a systemic aversion to embracing change.
"The focus has gone off veterans and toward preserving the current system," said Tim McClain, president of Humana Government Business and the former VA general counsel. He added that most employee and agency metrics are "process oriented," rather than "outcome oriented." Focusing on outputs rather than inputs would help improve performance, he said.
All the witnesses, including newly appointed VA Undersecretary for Health Robert Jesse, supported increasing standardization across VA facilities. VA is not just using the wrong performance metrics, they said, but tracking too many of them across its network of hospitals.
Rep. Dan Benishek, R-Mich., said he has recently heard from VA employees who were told by their superiors not to speak to members of Congress, discouraged from "rocking the boat" by bringing problems up the ladder and threatened with retribution for blowing the whistle on wrongdoing. Jesse was taken aback by the accusations and said if true, they would violate of series of VA policies.
He also said if any employees were proven to be manipulating data to mitigate the appearance of extended waits for veterans to receive care, "there will be consequences."
He added, however: "I'm not a lawyer. I can't tell you what those will be."

This is excellent footage of the stunt plane crash yesterday at Travis Air Force Base. &It supports accusations that Eddie Andreini, the pilot, might have survived that skid if emergency rescuers had immediately used fire extinguishers. The deeply uncomfortable conclusion is that the pilot, rather than being killed instantly in the crash, died horribly in the fire after the crash. If that is indeed what happened, the Air Force has a great deal of "splaining" to do, as Ricky Ricardo so often said.
The footage also corroborates my memory that the emcee immediately told everyone to stay where they were, an instruction instantly and completely ignored by every single person on the field.

Cabrera claims third Tiger of the Year Award
For the third time in five seasons in Detroit, Cabrera has won the annual Tiger of the Year Award. The slugging third baseman was a unanimous selection by members of the Detroit chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Cabrera and Justin Verlander have been alternating winning the award since 2008, Cabrera's first season in Detroit. The last Tiger other than those two to win it was Magglio Ordonez in 2007, the year he won the American League batting title and finished runner-up in MVP balloting to Alex Rodriguez.
Cabrera won his first AL batting crown last year, but couldn't top Verlander's dominant season. Verlander not only won Tiger of the Year, but AL MVP and Cy Young honors.
Now, Cabrera will try to pull the same combo. His chances look very good.
Until this season, Ty Cobb was the only Tiger to pull off a Triple Crown, and he did it 103 years ago during the dead-ball era with just nine home runs. No Major Leaguer had done it since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
A torrid closing stretch pulled it off for Cabrera, finishing his regular season with a .330 average, 44 home runs and 139 RBIs. No Tiger, not even Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg, had posted a season with at least 200 hits, 44 homers and 139 RBIs.
Beyond the statistics, Cabrera's move from first base to third to open a defensive position for Prince Fielder resonated in Detroit. It wasn't exactly a major sacrifice for someone who loved playing third base during his days with the Marlins, but the work he put in during Spring Training showed how seriously he approached the change.
With almost universally low expectations going in, Cabrera held his own at the hot corner, including several quick reactions to snare line drives and a selection of diving stops to steal hits. His minus-11 rating, according to Bill James Online, was better than either of his seasons at third base with the Marlins.
In many ways, it was a more historic season in Tigers annals than Verlander's 2011 campaign. More Tigers had won the pitching Triple Crown than the hitting version, and Denny McLain won an MVP award in 1968 to go with his back-to-back Cy Young honors.
Verlander might yet repeat his Cy Young Award this year; results will be released next week. However, he wasn't going to pry a Tiger of the Year vote from Cabrera.
Cabrera's third Tiger of the Year victory ties him with Alan Trammell and Cecil Fielder for the franchise record. The award has been in place since 1965. Fielder was the only one to win his awards in a shorter span, taking three in a row from 1990-92.

Moody's Investors Service announced Wednesday that it had downgraded Atlantic City's credit rating from Baa1 to Baa2 and its outlook for the city was negative.
According to the report, $219 million of "outstanding general obligation and city-guaranteed bonds" is affected by the downgrade. Moody's said the downgrade illustrates the city's diminished tax base resulting from "ongoing casino revenue declines and sizable casino tax appeals," which are attributed to heightened competition from out-of-state casinos.
The city's debt burden, percentage of tax base controlled by the gaming industry and poor socioeconomic climate also contributed to the downgraded credit rating.
The report concludes that the forecast doesn't look bright either for Atlantic City, as a combination of ongoing tax appeals and casino revenues continuing to fall will "further strain the city's weak financial position and increase its debt burden to above-average levels."
The downgrade comes as mayor-elect Don Guardian, a Republican who has served as the director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority's special improvement district since 2011, met with state Senate president Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) Wednesday for a business lunch at the city's famed White House Sub Shop.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, both Guardian and Sweeney pledged to increase communication between the city and the state and work to redefine the shore resort as multidimensional destination.
"The chapter of casinos as a monopoly is over," said Guardian, who defeated incumbent Democrat Lorenzo Langford earlier this month.
Sweeney said that for decades, the rest of the state depended on Atlantic City to generate revenue. Now it's time for the state to offer its hand.
"We can't afford to have this community fail," Sweeney said.

Resolving Conflict: Dealing with Difficult Behavior
"We tend to judge others by their behavior and ourselves by our intentions."
Alfred F. Schlieder
Resolving Conflict: Dealing with Difficult Behavior
Ever work with someone you thought exhibited 'difficult' behavior? Is it possible YOU have been thought of as 'difficult' by others?

If you answered 'Yes.' or 'Absolutely!' to any of those questions, the next program from the Office of Organizational Development and Learning is ideal for you and your situation.
The next course from OD and Learning is Resolving Conflict: Dealing with Difficult Behavior. Open to all WSU staff/faculty, the program is within the three-part Unlocking Your Potential series (the other two courses, necessary to earn a certificate, are Teamwork: Understanding Ourselves/Understanding Each Other and Effective Communication: Essential to Success). All three programs are from OD and Learning's WSU Professional Development Alliance.
Resolving Conflict focuses on … understanding different styles of behavior; analyzing your relationships; coping with rocky relationships; keys to improving relationships at work; knowing some conflict CAN be useful; resolving non-productive conflict, constructively; dealing with 'difficult' behavior at work; realizing it's the behavior – not the person – that's difficult; knowing what works – and, what doesn't; a conflict resolution process.
Resolving Conflict: Dealing with Difficult Behavior will be offered on Thursday, June 26 from 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM in the Foundation Building, Room 112 A&B (across Colonel Glenn Hwy. – directly behind Wendy's). If you're interested in attending the program, or if you want to nominate/register someone for attendance, please contact Organizational Development and Learning at email@example.com or call extension 4705.

High Waisted Shorts!!!
Added Jul 5, 2012
Silver Spring, U...
I made these out of some fabric I got in a lot from ebay. They were surprisingly really quick, only took a couple hours. They were my first pair of shorts to make and my third project overall. I did not use a pattern, I just used a random pair of shorts to trace the outline and then I added a bunch at the top for the high waist and some at the bottom. They came out a liitle shorter than I thought so I just didn't hem the bottom, though I think I will have to soon! I made these for fourth of July, I guess the colors somewhat match the occasion.
Material Notes
Not sure, but its a bit stretchy, only on the bias I guess?? I'm still learning sewing terms lol

I remember being very taken with the stunning orange colour the last time I made Sourdough Pumpkin Bread. That was a huge 1.6 kg baby. This time, I halved the recipe (flour used: 50g strong wholemeal, 170g plain flour, 200g bread flour), and made 2 petite 400g boules to try out my new prezzies….pulp bannetons…yeah! The pumpkin was drier and I had to almost double the water just so that all the flour could be incorporated. The print for the coiled basket came out fine, but all the weave pattern in the other basket was not discernable upon baking.
Light soft crumb with uneven medium-sized holes; stayed moist the next day. Taste-wise, sourness is a 3 on a scale of 5, though I wish some pumpkin taste came through; as it were, the pumpkin was more for the colour (and its nutritional value, of course). Perhaps, if I used butternut?? Also, I'm thinking, if that is the case, some addition of spice would be nice.

Heat visit White House
Washington, DC – The Miami Heat visited the nation's capital on Monday, where President Barack Obama congratulated them on their NBA Championship won this past June.
The Heat, who also visited the White House in 2007 after defeating the Dallas Mavericks in the 2006 NBA Finals, took down the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games.
It was the first championship for three-time NBA MVP LeBron James and the second for guard Dwyane Wade. In capturing the title in 2012, Miami hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the second time in franchise history.
"I have to congratulate the Heat on their well-earned title. This team traveled a long road to get to where they are. In 2011, the Heat got all the way to the finals only to come up short," Obama said. But when you fall, the real test is whether you can ignore the naysayers, pick yourself up and come back stronger. And that's true in basketball, but it's also true in life. That's exactly what these guys did."
James presented Obama with a basketball autographed by the team.
The Heat will take on the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday at Barclays Center.

March 31, 2007
The Bisons used strong pitching and timely hitting to take game one of the double-header against North Florida but eight walks led to a 14-4 loss in game two on Saturday, March 31.
After falling behind 2-0, the Bisons finally got on the board in the fifth. With one out, Branden Cadavid reached on an infield single before advancing to second on a balk. Shane Simpkins followed with a single to right to pull the Bisons within one.
The Bisons took the lead on Ryan Wilkins' fourth home run of the season, in the sixth. Caleb Joseph reached on an error with two outs, setting up Wilkins' homer, which soared over the left field wall and onto the roof of the batting cage.
The Bisons added to their lead with another run in the seventh. Simpkins reached on an error to lead off the inning. Two outs later, Allen Bolden singled to left, scoring Simpkins, for a 5-2 Bisons lead.
The Bisons would score two more runs in the eighth to bring the score to 7-2, the final. The inning was highlighted by Casey Bond's third home run of the season.
Rex Brothers earned the win to improve his record to 5-1. In eight innings, he gave up just two unearned runs on six hits, while striking out nine.
Right-hander, Charles Williams, threw a scoreless ninth to close out the game.
Casey Bond led the Bisons on offense with two hits and three RBIs. Wilkins contributed two hits and two RBIs in the win.
In game two, the Bisons jumped out to an early 1-0 first inning lead. Ben Williams led off with a single before advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt by Bolden.
The Ospreys tied the game in the second, but the Bisons bounced back with another run in the third. Simpkins led off the inning with a double to right center. The next batter, Kevin Gavigan, singled to left, giving the Bisons a 2-1 lead.
However, it was a short-lived lead. The Ospreys scored 13 runs in the fourth inning against three Lipscomb pitchers to take a 14-2 lead.
Bisons' starter, Rob Smithson, gave up seven runs on six hits and five walks, while striking out three.
Right-hander, Taylor Merry, relieved Smithson in the fourth, but could not get out of the inning. In 1/3 of an inning, he gave up six runs on four hits and two walks.
Chris Burnett, relieved Merry to close out the fourth inning. He would remain in the game until Matt Bowling relieved him to start the eighth. In 3.1 innings, Burnett gave up one earned run on three hits while striking out two.
The Bisons got on the board again in the seventh. Jared Picchiottino came in to pinch hit for Donnie Amos and immediately doubled down the left field line. After Bond flied out to center, Picchiottino advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a throwing error by the catcher, James Belyea.
The Bisons would add another run in the eighth on an RBI double by Sanders to bring the score to 14-4, the final.
The Bisons are back in action when they take on Tennessee-Martin at Dugan field in a game scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
Left-hander, Josh Spicer, is scheduled to take the mound for the Bisons. On the season, Spicer is 0-1 with a 6.52 ERA. In 9.2 innings, he has given up eight runs, seven earned, on 14 hits while striking out six.

Midwives Provide Cost Effective Care
"Ob-gyns working collaboratively with midwives is a way to address the gap between the supply of ob-gyns and the demand for women's health care services."
"The US population is growing, yet the number of new medical graduates has basically plateaued—hiring nonphysician clinicians is a good solution to accommodate the health care needs of the growing population."
"CNMs should be better utilized to address the projected health care workforce shortages."

Proven SEO Results, with Greater Visibility & Insight.
Our SEO services pair with Google Analytics for a winning combination.
We understand how difficult it is for website owners to cut through the clutter with respect to SEO services. On top of that, the growing number of self-proclaimed 'SEO experts' make it even harder for businesses to discern between legitimate SEO companies and predators. Anyone can sell you SEO services, but the only thing that matters is... can they deliver results?
It is imperative to make the correct choice when selecting an SEO firm. Most companies do not realize they've been duped until months or years down the road. Not only is that money down the drain, but the time lost can allow your competitors to climb in the search rankings. Even worse, bad SEO practices can actually hinder your website's ability to rank well moving forward.
If you're serious about your website's success, we have the experience and proven results to get you there. Let us help you dominate the search results.

Aviation Career Update: The Sky's The Limit
The year 2015 has been one of upheaval with respect to aviation careers.
Learn about the wide variety of aviation and pilot careers available today. Our authors sound off on commercial and general aviation jobs, and how to make the most of your skills.
The year 2015 has been one of upheaval with respect to aviation careers.
The last five years have proven to be a tumultuous time in aviation careers.
Pilot careers are nothing if not tumultuous. Right now, we're in uncharted territory, as regional airlines are experiencing the worst pilot shortage since regional service in the 1950s.
In aviation, a great paradox has always existed that to get a job as an airline pilot, one has to first build multi-engine time in airliners, but that can't be done without being an airline pilot.
Headlines across the media have recently focused on the shortage of regional airline pilots.
In terms of careers in the aviation industry, all the attention has been focused on regional airlines and the hand-wringing as the supply of pilots is drying up.
In 1925, when barnstormer John Paul Riddle and entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry founded the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio, they probably had no idea their company would turn into one of the most recognized private aviation universities in the world.
The last few years have brought some of the most sweeping changes to commercial pilot training that we've ever seen in the industry.
If you ask the average high-school student today about working as an airline pilot, you might get more questions than answers.
For the first time since the great crash of 2008, we've heard nothing but optimism (though some of it was cautious) during interviews for our annual aerospace careers feature.
It's not only general aviation that faces a pilot shortage.
Don't be in a rush to screw things up!" It's one of many little sayings and memory joggers that 2010 National CFI Of The Year Jeffrey Robert Moss (everyone calls him "MossY") teaches students in his Flying Like The Pros (FLTP) system.
Pilots aren't the only people who make a career in aviation and space. Airplanes and spacecraft are designed by engineers, built by factory workers, serviced by mechanics and technicians, and overseen by air traffic (or spacecraft) controllers.
It probably seems extraordinary to be discussing pilot careers at a time when the worst economic turmoil in 60 years has dragged the airline industry to near-collapse and an insatiable media has spotlighted every ugly aspect of the profession.
Dreams of flight are special. They beckon you from your earliest memories, and they're insistent—always calling you to look up at the sky when an airplane passes overhead, or crane your neck at the nearest airport.
In past years, we've called this section "Nonflying Aviation Careers," recognizing that not everyone interested in aviation wants to be a pilot.
Success in aviation always has been a matter of perspective. Student pilots hoping for an airline career in the '50s attributed their lack of success to the oversupply of military pilots emerging from the Korean War.
|For the first time in 30 years, becoming a professional pilot is within the reach of people who once only dreamed of it. We're in an unprecedented time of skyrocketing demand for pilots, and the number of aviation jobs grows daily. The sky is calling, and if that has been your dream, now is the time to act.

My boyfriend has been on my case about my weight again. About a year ago I did Body for Life and had decent results, but fell off the wagon. Now he is encouraging me to do it again (although he couldn't even follow the program for 2 days....big baby.)
I got him a Mr Bento with 4 containers for X-mas, which I fill for him since we work together. He doesn't cook though, so I'm going to bring it with me for my last semester at school. 4 containers = 4 out of the 6 meals I'll have to eat throughout the day, and I figure each container is about the right size. The last time I did it I relied on the dining hall for my meals, which may have contributed to my lack-lustre results.
Now that I cook for myself and am getting better at it, I figure the time is good to try it again.
I just thought I'd mention this here, if anyone wants to join me and we can be all encouraging and supportive :P Body for Life is a pretty brutal program - not as bad as P90X, but it takes alot more planning that P90 does.
My program goals are to 1.) Be able to wear a bikini to the beach this summer and 2.) Have better stamina so I can take a dancing class with my boyfriend.
I did Maki's five week bento challenge last year and lost six kg. I seem to have put it all back on again though - every time I go away on holiday I seem to gain a kg or so, and every feasting occasion (like Christmas) I put on two. I need to get my act together again and lose those six kg before my next wee trip away at the end of March.
I'm in for being supportive, but my body's getting a bit old and achey for the exercise programme that body for life involves. Plus I'd hate it and I know I'd never keep it up. I figure the best exercise is the one you will keep doing for ever, so I walk at lunchtime and have been doing so for a couple of years now.
My problem is cooking and other sorts of making food. I was making cheese for a few months last year; I had a cheese party just before Xmas so I didn't have to eat all of it, but I still ate some and it's fattening. I've also been making sausages, and am getting into salami. Hopefully that won't be so bad as it keeps for a lot longer - you don't have to eat it when it's ripe the way you do with cheese.
My blog is Food and Shoes
My temptation is always sweets - especially chocolate. Thanks to my discovery of anko, as long as I don't add too much sugar I don't have to feel too bad about making a batch of mochi every now and then.
I have to have major exercise in my regimine - I'm young and I should be able to handle it. That's my main motivation is that you are young for such a short period of time, and i've already wasted most of my youth being fat and awkward.
Unfortunately, the only time I've really been sucessful in losing weight was when I simply couldn't afford to eat and was eating 1 peanut butter sandwich a day for two months, and walking two miles to and from my job every day. I dropped about 20 lbs in two months (from 170 to 150) but I was so weak. After that period ended was when I first tried BFL - I had to start really slow because I literally had no upper body strength, and I would get winded really fast.
If I thought I could get away with starving myself like that without going crazy...well, I won't say I haven't thought about it, but...let's face it - I'm a fat kid and I love food, or I wouldn't be here. Now I'm just trying to channel that into tasty food that I can feel good about. I know I sound like an afterschool special... but my 23rd birthday was only 9 days ago, and my kid's life is just about to end...I don't want to start my grown-up life as crappy and irresponsible as the past 18 years had been spent.
I actually do like to exercise - running on the treadmill feels good. I just don't like being surrounded by sweaty gross people who don't wipe off their machines when they get their crack-sweat all over them X(
I don't know what Body for Life is (again, that rock I live under!). I'm doing the National Body Challenge, though, from FitTv. I'm enjoying it enormously, because I've seen good results, and the computer-based tracking of my progress is really cool. Also, I like the diet and exercise routine they email me daily. Christmas was a big eye-opener for me; my mom is 55, calls herself an "old woman," and weighs well near 300 lbs. She is diabetic and is in congestive heart failure. I was struck by the realization that I may not have that many Christmases left with her. I was also struck by the fact that I do not want to be calling myself an old woman at 55, and that genetics are not on my side. Diabetes scares me terribly. I'd also like to set an example of legitimate self-care for my daughter.
So I've been working out, and following South Beach diet since Dec. 27. I'd love to incorporate bentos into this, and I'd love someone to buddy with as far as goals are concerned, if you're interested.
As as side note, if you have the Discovery channels, you might want to check out FitTv (Maybe it's also Discovery Health). There are some fun, 30 minute workouts on there that made the difference to me between giving up on my workout and looking forward to it. My 20 or 30 min. workout is emailed to me, also, and you don't have to be a subscriber to cable to use the National Body Challenge.
Good luck to you with your goals!
Well I'm 53 and no way do I call myself an old woman. Mind you, I weigh only 71kg (156lb, and aiming for 145lb) so I'm nowhere near as heavy as your Mum. And I can still manage to party all night when I want to, although I don't want to quite as often as I used to. According to Wikipedia, body for life has intensive cardio and body strength workouts six days a week. That's just too much for me, as I'm by nature a sloth and I'm sensible enough to know that I'd never keep it up. But I do make a point of walking and carrying heavy objects around the place these days; I reckon I can keep doing that almost indefinitely.
Thanks for the info--I'd never heard of it before. Six days seems untenable for my lifestyle.
I don't think of women in their 50s as "old women." It alarms me, however, that this is how my mom sees herself. I still want to be vibrant and enjoying my life at 55 (and it's not that far off the horizon; I'm 35, now), and I'd like her to, as well. With the history of heart disease, diabetes, and cancers in my matrilineal line, I thought that this would be a good time to start a healthier lifestyle (it wasn't terribly unhealthful, before, just not as careful). I want to be able to party all night by then, too, if I so desire!
You are definitely right to consider your walking and lifting as exercise. One of the things I like about the NBC is that I can log on to my account daily and check off my activities, and they allow me to check off things like "playing with kids", "housework," "dancing," etc. and tally up approximate calories used for the duration.
Another website i found a few months ago that is awesome (but I don't use it as much as I should...It was depressing to be eating 400 net calories a day and gaining weight >_< ) is livestrong.com/thedailyplate. There you just type in what you ate, it has all the nutritional info (I put a few of maki's recipes in for you guys :) ). Also, you can save 'meals' that you eat frequently and add them with 1 click. It can track your excersize you do, including shopping and stuff. You can keep track of your weight, and you can network with other people and they send a newsletter with tips. If you log in with your facebook account it will publish updates there for you too, if you're a voyer like that LOL.
400? How did you survive? Oh, I feel hungry just thinking about it! That sounds like a really cool website--thanks for pointing it out!
*400 net I was eating around 900 to 1000 calories a day and usually doing around 600 cal of exercise (about an hour on the treadmill with the incline cranked up)
I am pretty sure your body thought it was starving, when that happens your body will conserve every ounce of energy it can but you will begin to lose lean body mass, and many people actually gain weight this way. When you lose lean body mass you are not only losing muscle but bone and other parts of your body, which makes this particularly dangerous. 1200 calories is about the lowest recommendation that I have seen and even this is not safe for everyone. But the best idea would probably be figuring out how many calories your body actual needs and trimming your calories by a reasonable rate.
You are right and I knew that but I was being an impetuous youth and was frustrated enough to do something stupid that I knew wouldn't help as punishment to myself >_>
I don't have a tv ^_^()
BodyForLife is a 12 week program. You eat 6 times a day - a portion of protein and a portion of carbs from an approved list of healthy foods, this is to keep your metabolism burning constantly. In addition, you exercise 6 days a week on a rotation of weight training specific muscle groups and cardio. I like their exercise regimine because the longest you spend on any given day at the gym is 42 minutes, and on cardio days it's only 20 minutes - of course you are working your ass off...
That sounds pretty reasonable. I like that duration for workouts. It seems to accomplish more. The six days a week, though, would be tough for me to fit in. It doesn't seem that different from what I am doing now, except for that. Keep us posted about how you pack your bentos! I still haven't integrated that with my fitness plans.
I think that you could use small, child sized bentos to pack the kind of small meals that that program seems to call for. An excuse to indulge in those itty bitty so cute boxes maybe? ^_^ A typical kindergartener-sized box only holds about 300 to 350 ml, as opposed to an adult-sized 500-700ml or so box. Hmm...maybe an idea for me too....(heads towards the bento department...)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I got my boyfriend this Mr. Bento:http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-Bento-Stainless-Steel-lined-Silver/dp/B000246GSE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1263929734&sr=8-1
It says the containers are each 500, 300, 280, and 201 ml, respectively. I figure I can pack a chili or some kind of soup in the big one, and then more condensed meals in the smaller ones. The one I usually pack my food in is about 260 on bottom and 240 on top. I usually pack the bulk of my meal in the lower one, and then a salad and some nuts or fruit (or chocolate >_> ) in the top. I'm going to steal my boyfriend's Mr Bento since he doesn't cook, and I'll use that. It even comes with a spork XD
That's the other reason why BfL is a neat program. Since you're eating every 2.5 to 3 hours, you never feel deprived. I'm lucky enough to have health food stores in the area around my university, so I know I can find lots of tasty approved "sweet-substitutes" like carob covered almonds or carob "energy cubes".
Honestly, the hardest part of it is the daily grind - but you just remind yourself that this is something you're doing for YOU and no one else. It's the same reason I make bento - it's 30 minutes or an hour where I'm doing something that is JUST FOR ME. I don't rush, I don't cut corners - I take the time to care for myself, inside and out, to make me a better person.
Exercise isn't a punishment - if you don't like going to the gym and exercising there, you can always find an alternative. I realized something a few weeks ago, that I play video games as a stress relief - I can't always punch someone in real life, but in a game I can log in and smash my big hammer into someone's face and feel good about it(it's very satisfying). So I decided on another goal for myself - instead of sitting around and playing games for an hour, one day a week I'm going to find some agressive physical cardio (karate or kick boxing or something) and get my anger out that way.
So, long post short, it's really about reinforcing the idea that you aren't punishing yourself with smaller portions, or that you're "wasting time" by exercising - these are things that you NEED to do, and since they are FOR you, they should be Number 1 priority. I understand that's harder when you've got kids, but if you can make it work, you're setting a really good example for them - personal betterment is worth time and effort.
My 11 year old nephew plays computer games all the time, to the point where my brother and sister-in-law were worried about him not getting enough exercise. They bought a Wii. Computer game plus exercise! My son and daughter-in-law also have one, and when I visit them I use the Wii fit, which is quite a lot of fun. You don't realise how much exercise you are doing until the next day when you wake up sore. I wouldn't mind having one, but it requires having a television and I won't do that.
Kids who play lots of fighting games usually jump at the chance to do karate in real life. ^_^ My kid sister just got a Wii Fit - I don't have a tv at school, so I don't have my Wii there. I'm thinking about checking out the MyPersonalTrainer for the DS though - it comes with a pedometer :) If only the DS made phone calls, I'd never need to carry a phone :P
Dieting as an excuse for buying more bento boxes!
Thanks! I needed a little extra push to get that Hello, Kitty bento box! LOL. That is a great idea; I think I will start packing my snacks like that right away.
haha, something i maybe should have mentioned at the beginning is that you can win big moolah. BFL is actually a competition - entering is free and optional - but it's a pretty stiff competition.

The thing that I find difficult about any program like body for life is that it feels like you are constantly eating. Sure you do not feel hungry but I found that I no longer enjoyed eating at that point. I would find myself cheating by not eating and after a couple months eating that way was just too hard to maintain so I stopped doing it.
I found that one of the easiest programs for me to follow is Eat to Live. I just chop vegetables and cook large batches of of soup and oatmeal every week. Since it is so simple I am reasonably certain that I can continue eating this way. And I am the same way with working out now too, I walk on a regular basis, but when I have some spare time I will go for a run, bike ride, or swim. It is also more fun when you have some to go with, just as my husband and I go for a bike ride just about every weekend.
So it's Day 2 of Bento for Life, and going pretty strong. Just ate meal #5. I am finding that the easiest thing is to take out one or two large pieces of fish or chicken, cook each piece in a different sauce (lemon-citrus, soy-ginger, honey mustard, curry...) and put it in the bento container with some rice. Pretty boring I know.
I'm also going to start adding filled oni-giri. Peanut butter, tuna fish, and soy-based meat substitute will all be good fillings that will provide protein.
The hardest part is making myself wake up to eat a meal-in-a-bar at 6 am -_- But if I don't do that, then I have to eat a meal at 9 pm and that's bad.
I am feeling depressed. I was very good last week (although not doing the for Life thing), but I weighed the same on Monday morning as I did last Monday. Grr. Must persevere. Am being even better this week. Less meat with my salads.
I feel you on being a bit down, I have just started back to school and I all ready have an amazing amount of work not to mention my actual job has been crazy. Even with some stressing eating and drinking coffee again, I have been able to lose some weight.
It might help if you added some beans as you cut down on the meat, to help keep you full.
I also made a really good dressing recently without any fat. It was about 1 inch of fresh ground ginger, couple splashes of soy sauce and vinegar, some sriacha, and green onion. That and some homemade kimchi really livened up my salad.
Sounds yummy. Might try that dressing.
Fact: It can take up to 6 weeks for any lifestyle changes to take visible effect in women - it can be longer depending on age and the type of change.
Fact: Your weight can fluctuate on any given day by up to almost 5 lbs. Why? Fluid intake. Other things can affect your weight as well, especially if you are a woman, like the weather.
Fact: If you are doing muscle/weight training, this will cause your muscles to swell for about 24 hours - this is why they recommend that you alternate muscle groups (like in BFL) or take every other day off.
So, don't get depressed. The first time I did Body for Life I didn't weigh myself at all for the first six weeks.
Just letting you all know it's been 2 weeks and I've lost about 5 US lbs, or a third of a stone. I am feeling so good right now, and I feel like the exercise is really taking effect. Eating healthy delicious food every day keeps me going and is often a reward for the punishment I give myself at the gym.
I've diverted my chocolate cravings to fudge-almond protein bars by Balance and EAS dark chocolate shakes (it's sad but I almost like these better than the real thing :\ )
So far the only problems I've had is usually around once a week I walk around the corner from the gym to get myself a hot strawberry bubble tea. It's sooo cold here and I like chewing on the bubbles while I drive. It's terrible because the first time I tried it I couldn't stand the bubbles but now I'm hooked. And that evil evil woman who runs the shop told me that now they have flavored coffee and hot chocolate, with bubbles. Whyyyy you beautiful, evil Chinese woman?! WHYYY?! I'll probably just stick to my strawberry milk though :P
Well done you! I managed about ONE pound the week before last, but I think I put it back on again this week. Will see when I weigh myself tomorrow.
Sundays are my "Free Day" and i had chinese food yesterday and now I'm back up to 165 ;_; It's probably mostly water weight though...
Well, I lost the 15 lbs I wanted to lose. In two weeks. This was after I had planned a gradual, 1-2lb/week loss, and followed a 2000 calorie diet, and exercised for only 30-35 minutes, 4x weekly. And I still ended up having problems with ketosis and other issues from the rapid loss. I've toned down the exercise and beefed up my bentos, but I'm still losing, and I feel like garbage. Not how I wanted to do things, all in all.
Good for all of you whose goals are going well.
I hope the change of diet (and of pace) eventually settles and that you feel better soon. Two weeks is a very short time to adjust.
I am glad that the 'success' you've had concerns you and that you aren't blindly celebrating the lost pounds. Seems you still have some room for tweaking your diet. Obviously, don't put your kidneys at risk.
But a big pat on the back for you anyway, you've put in a real effort. Hope you can find a safe way to pursue your goals.
Thank you, Loretta! Yes, anyone else out there considering weight loss--do not sacrifice your bone/muscle/kidney health. This does not feel good. I had really thought I'd found a reasonable program, but I guess it was too much, after all. Trying to eat extra carbs, now, but still making sure they are mostly "good" carbs.
I would definitely look into what you can change in your diet, when you lose that much weight you should be feeling noticeable better than when you began. Ketosis is really not a good sign, you may want to speak to a doctor to make sure everything is all right (and they may refer your to a nutritionist to make sure you are going about this weight loss in a healthier manner).
Goodness yes, go and see your doctor. That's far too fast to lose weight.
The doctor seems unconcerned. It's unusual, too, for docs to refer Pt.s to nutritionists here, although I wish she would/could. Most of my weight consisted of "vanity pounds." I really only wanted to change tack so I could manage my blood sugar and drop a *few* pounds, and get on track for a healthy long-term lifestyle. It's a bit scary at this point. I don't really know what else to change, unless I just stop exercising altogether (down to 30 min, 2x week). Most of my "diet" now consists of avoiding extra sugar and refined carbs.
What is...ketosis? I wish I could drop 15 lbs in 2 weeks... I'm on week 5, and I'm holding steady at 160, down 5 lbs from my start weight, but it's a steady 160, not up and down 2 or 3 lbs daily so I am feeling good about that at least.
Even if I don't see a number change, I see myself pushing to do stronger weights, capping out at faster run speeds. This week I have started capping my run speed at 7mph, up from 6.5. It's painful but it's good pain.
Thanks to everyone in here supporting all of us. I just wish I had more pretty bento to post. Mine are all really boring. Baked salmon and rice balls. Baked chicken and rice balls. "Chikn" Nuggests and string beans. Yummy, but not pretty. Healthy, but not pretty.
Ketosis is what happens to your body when you run out of carbohydrate to metabolise.
When you eat a proper balanced diet your body turns the carbohydrates you eat into glucose, which it then either uses for the energy you need right then, or to turn into fat for energy storage. When you run out of glucose in the blood, because either you're on a low carb diet or it's just been a few hours since breakfast, your body starts mobilising that stored fat to use for its energy needs. This is why it's a good idea to exercise before eating if you want to burn fat. However, although your body can turn glucose into fat, it can't turn fat into glucose. (Glucose, and all carbohydrates, have a higher proportion of oxygen atoms to carbon and hydrogen atoms than fats do.) It so happens that your brain cannot use fats for its energy requirements the way the rest of your body can, so some of that fat is turned into molecules called "ketone bodies" that the brain can use. Ketosis is when you have a high level of these molecules in your bloodstream. If the ketosis becomes severe, it can turn into ketoacidosis, which is dangerous.
As a side note, your brain always needs SOME glucose, and your body provides this by breaking down the protein in your muscles - protein has pretty much the same carbon/oxygen/hydrogen composition as carbohydrate but with the addition of nitrogen. The nitrogen that's left over when the protein has turned into glucose is excreted from the body in the urine, which is why your kidneys get stressed when you diet too much.
There you go - more than you ever wanted to know about glucose, fat, and protein metabolism. But still only scratching the surface.
I love your explanation, speaking like a true scientist :)
I would just add that the reason why the nitrogen produced by metabolizing protein is so hard on the kidneys is because it forms ammonia, which I am sure that everyone knows is toxic.
Thanks for the explanation I'm actually taking a molecular biology course right now so that was very informative.
I'm still doing the program, but I'm not doing bento as much. It's my last semester of college, so senioritis has hit pretty hard. I had to sacrifice something to the laziness gods, and it wasn't homework. I've been stuck on a plateu of 160 lbs US, so about three weeks ago 1/2 my intake and doubled my exercise. I'm still at 160 though. I am just eating alot of hardboiled egg whites, probiotic yogurt with fruit, dried fruit and chicken/turkey/tofu. Oh and protein bars. Can't forget those. Ever. I don't feel like I'm depriving myself though so don't worry :)
i'd guess that upping the proteins to support your exercise would be a good idea..whenever i work new muscle groups, i start to loose weight quickly (in a bad way) if i don't get my 75g of calculated protein a day. try lentils, beans and tofu products plus tuna, chicken, eggs or beef as a larger part of your diet.
protein powder for shakes is not very nice as a drink, but the vanilla kind is ok for adding to muffins, pancakes and such, for example like this:
breakfast mushipan
2 tbsp yoghurt/quark
1 egg
1 tbsp instant oats
2 tbsp vanilla shake powder or more if you can tolerate the whey-taste
mix it all together in a bowl, add
75g flour of your choice mixed with 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp baking powder
put in muffin cups and steam for appr.25 minutes. eat them all with a glass of milk and a piece of fresh fruit.
I had heard of mushipan on this site before but it didn't seem very healthy to me. I saw the word "mushipan" in your reply and then went to do research and my skepticism continued. But looking at what you've got listed there as ingredients, it doesn't seem too outlandish. I think I'd like to try that recipe - especially since I usually end up grabbing just a banana, or a hard boiled egg for breakfast. If I've gotten up more than 15 minutes before I need to head out the door, sometimes I'll bask in the luxury of instant oatmeal or a piece of multi-grain toast with Omega spread. If I could make half a dozen of these on a sunday and have 1 to grab for breakfast on the way out the door, then that would go really well with my egg as I walk to class :)
so my question is, how long does a mushipan usually stay fresh for? Is 4 or 5 days reasonable or do they need to be eaten sooner than that?
Ohmygodohmygod i just tried this recipe and it is PERFECT. I added some cut up dried strawberries and it is AMAZING - everything I could possibly want in a single food!
I actually didn't need to add any sugar, because I used Wegman's Vanilla SuperYogurt, so the sweetness of the powder and the yogurt was just enough. I'm obsessed with how much sugar i eat right now and trying to cut back (I've apparently been consistently eating 2.5x what would be considered "acceptable" every DAY) and this is just a superb little muffiny thing that I can pop in the microwave and take with me for breakfast.
I took pictures while I made this and of the mushipan results so I'll put those on my Flikr at some point and link to them. For anyone who is interested, the recipe makes about 4 medium-sized mushipan.
I am officially a rehfilet/mushipan convert!
EDIT: Woo pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44171194@N03/sets/72157623655582771/
I've only recently discovered the joys of non-whisk mushipan, good to find out about a fellow convert!
Don't forget you can add grated carrot (or grated apple, or pear) and this will also contribute some added sweetness and fibre.
I've no idea how long they stay fresh for, there are never any left over to put into the freezer. They are so easy and quick to make and taste so good when they are warm and fresh I never make enough to stash.
I miss working out, I've hurt my arm and have not been able to bike or do yoga. I do continue losing weight, but very slowly since I am very close to normal weight now which I am fine with. Where I have problems is my lack for clothes that fit me and not having the funds to go out any buy new.
And while some people do well on a higher protein diet, I've noticed that I do well on a lower protein (even with being active) so you might play with your diet a bit to see if something better works for you. Fruits and vegetables make all the difference for me, a green smoothie (greens like kale or spinach, banana, berries or other fruits on hand, and milled flax seed) will keep me running for hours but with plain oatmeal I am hungry again by 9.

Wang stunning at Massry
An amazing phenomenon happened at the Massry Center Saturday evening. A charming little 24-year-old Chinese doll dressed in a tight, floor-length black gown tottered in stiletto heels to the Steinway piano. By the second phrase, she had transformed into one of the most powerful, masterful pianists ever to appear in the Capital Region, and had mesmerized the whole audience.
Her program was filled with challenging, difficult, and somewhat esoteric music, beginning with five short pieces by Alexander Scriabin, the 19th-century Russian mystic. The three preludes and etude resembled Chopin on steroids, and Yuja Wang's hands seemed to liquidly melt into the keyboard when she wasn't maneuvering evilly difficult left-handed leaps and impossible runs. During the final Scriabin offering, his most characteristic, the Poeme in F sharp major, Op. 32, No. 1, Wang shaped each phrase individually, bringing out the mystic introspection in the music. Somehow she could cajole the barest whisper out of the piano and yet play each note evenly and cleanly.
The Sonata No. 6 in A major, Op. 82 by Sergie Prokofiev varied from playful bright march-like music to sparkling rapid runs. Wang always brought out the little melodies amid driving rapid filigree, and nuanced the gentle poetic passages. The third movement is fiendishly difficult, almost impossible to play, and yet Wang performed note-perfect, as was the whole concert, and with seemingly little effort.
After intermission, to combat any audience sleepiness, Wang returned in a blazingly red tight, backless floor-length gown and sequined straps, with tiny colored feathers in her hair. She then proceeded to turn into Franz Liszt, if one dared close one's eyes, as she, with unbelievable power, realized his epic Sonata in B minor. Sitting tall, her arms floating above the keys, fingers evenly caressing the notes in the soft passages like water drops, she gave a breathless performance of this music which inverts upon itself.
As if this concert was not difficult enough, Wang also played two encores, both whirlwinds of perpetual motion-- Prokofiev's Toccata and a Liszt transcription of Schubert's song "Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel.".Then, bowing very low and smiling while collecting her flowers, this little slender doll tottered off the stage amid continuous and prolonged standing ovation.
