Never An Easy Way
I always forget how much hard work relationships are, and no matter how many I have I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that relationships are all about compromise. This weekend I decided my current relationship was worth the hassle of all the shit that comes with sharing your life with someone. *fill space with sickenly sweet lovey-dovey stuff*
So Saturday me and Gareth stayed in and I cooked a meal for us to eat while we watched I Am Sam, which was quite good. Made me cry (finally something that proves I am gay... I cry at movies!! Woo!!!)
Sunday. We headed to Gareth's to get his suit (he had an interview today) and then headed into Canterbury to get him a shirt and have a Starbucks. Stopped at Sainsburys and got some stuff for dinner, and finally headed back to mine via the scenic route (Alkham Valley).
By five dinner was ready and Zoe and Jon had arrived. It was very nice and thank you to them for coming!!
Jon disappeared and returned with Saul (and some beer.. mmmm....). After dispensing with beer Zoe headed home and us four blokes headed for Maidstone and the Queen Anne. (Not so interesting fact said pub is about 100 yards from where I was born! WOO!). It was quiet but nice (quiet is always good on a Sunday). We were joined by Neil (see London Pride) and a French guy.
Then some guy in leathers arrives and like children we run to the other end of the pub for a better view. Some (Gareth and Saul) hide at the back and giggle lots as guy begins to strip. It was most fun, specially when he said stuff to ME!!!! I turned him down as I am a wimp but hey... who cares??
he he..
Work was hell today. I was floorwalker for the newbies and have never been so busy. Did get an uninvited (but not unwanted) "Hello Jason How are you?" and a cute smile from Sexy New Guy (yay finally we have a replacement for Sexy Dutch Guy!!!)

Respirator user training 1930s
This clip is part of an early respirator training film. Today in the US, employer must provide training to employees who are required to use respirators. The training must be comprehensive, understandable, and be done, at least, annually, and more often if necessary. This training should include: 1) why the respirator is necessary and how improper fit, use, or maintenance can compromise its protective effect; 2) the limitations and capabilities of the respirator; 3) how to inspect, put on and remove, use and check the seals (for tight-fitting types); 4) how to maintain and store the respirator; 5) how to recognize medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent effective use of a respirator; and, 6) the general requirements of OSHA's respirator standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. For examples of good respirator training, go to the Online Curricula Catalog of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHSWorker Education and Training Program (WETP) at tools.niehs.nih.gov . Since 1987, the NIEHS WETP has supported the development of curricula and the initiation of training programs throughout the country to help meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements under 29 CFR 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Operations & Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). This is clipped from the 1940s film, The Air We Breathe, a ppromotional documentary from the Mine Safety Appliances Company (MSA) on the importance of the air respirator to industrial health and safety

Steel industry 1944 youngstown, ohio
An good look at steelmaking as done during WWII, long before OSHA and EPA. For most iron-making, the essential features are coke ovens and the blast furnace, where coke is produced from coal and iron ore is melted (reduced) to produce pig iron, respectively. The furnace is charged from the top with iron ore, coke and limestone; hot air, frequently enriched with oxygen, is blown in from the bottom; and the carbon produced from the coke transforms the iron ore into pig iron containing carbon, with the generation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The limestone acts as a flux. At a temperature of 1600°C, the pig iron melts and collects at the bottom of the furnace. The furnace is tapped (ie the pig iron is removed) periodically, and the pig iron is cast into pigs for later use (eg in foundries), or is poured into ladles where it is transferred, still molten, to the steel-making plant. The purpose of steel-making operations is to refine the pig iron which contains large amounts of carbon and other impurities. The carbon content must be reduced, the impurities oxidized and removed, and the iron converted into a highly elastic metal that can be forged and fabricated. Alloying agents may be added at this stage. Different types of melting furnace are used in this process. Steel is cast into slabs, billets, bars, ingots and other shapes. Subsequent steps may include scarfing, pickling, annealing, hot and cold rolling, extrusion, galvanizing, surface coating, cutting and

Industrial hygiene research on hazards of changing air pressure wwii 1941 usphs
Caisson Disease is a term coined by Andrew Smith to describe the illness that he encountered among workers during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Although it is more commonly called decompression sickness (DCS) today, caisson disease remains a popular colloquialism. It is generally employed to differentiate the industrial/construction decompression sickness from the diving and altitude DCS. Examples include mining, tunnelling, and bridge-building. Regardless of the name, the disease remains the same. It is too much nitrogen disease. Normally, tissues at a constant pressure are saturated with a certain amount of dissolved inert nitrogen. If ambient pressure drops, there is a concomitant fall in the nitrogen pressure. Dysequilibrium ensues and tissue supersaturation takes place. As a result, the tissues tend to release "excess" nitrogen to the vascular system for delivery to the lungs where it is exhaled into the atmosphere. Thus, a new equilibrium is established. Unfortunately, the change in pressure can exceed the body's capability to release the extra nitrogen. Once a critical point is reached the nitrogen can no longer remain dissolved and bubbles form. These bubbles may develop in the tissues themselves or in the vasculature or, for that matter, may simply grow from circulating micronuclei (microbubbles) already present. In any event, the myriad of symptoms caused by these bubbles define decompression sickness. Decompression sickness has been clinically

Respirator testing and certification 1934
This clip shows the testing of a new air-purifying respirator for approval by the US Bureau of Mines in 1934. Currently all respirators used in US workplaces must be similarly testing and certified by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health). NIOSH has administered the respirator certification program since 1972, and traces its origins to the early years of the US Bureau of Mines. The Bureau of Mines was created within the Dept of Interior in 1910, and began the development of Schedules covering the design, testing and evaluation of mine emergency respiratory protection equipment. Since then schedules have been published for self contained breathing apparatus for use in mine rescue; gas masks and Air Purifying Respirators to be used by escaping miners during an emergency; airline respirators; gas and vapor-removal (chemical cartridge); and dust-filtration (particulate). The 1969 Federal Mine Health and Safety Act mandated joint approval of respirators by the Departments of Interior and Health, Education and Welfare, and the 1970 Occupational Safety and Health Act created NIOSH. In 1972, NIOSH and the Bureau consolidated the various approval schedules into federal regulations under Title 30, Mineral Resources, of the Code of Federal Regulations. Administration of the respirator approval program was transferred to NIOSH from the US Bureau of Mines. The respirator approval program began to gain increased significance as regulations published by the OSHA

Preservation aviation superfund cleanup epa 2005
At this Superfund site in North Hollywood, California, two small warehouses were filled to overflowing with more than one million obsolete World War II aircraft gauges, many contaminated with radioactive Radium 226. Additional gauges were found in an outside storage yard in old wooden and cardboard boxes, many of which were leaking. The site was surveyed in 2004 for radiation, and then the gauges segregated into 3 waste streams. It was one of a series of sites involving radium-dial aircraft gauges to which EPA responded. This site was the largest found at that time. The large amount of debris, the poor condition of the site, and lack of security created an extreme fire hazard. Once all gauges were removed, the response teams conducted a detailed assessment of the warehouse buildings and grounds. Enough contamination remained in both areas to warrant removal of the warehouses and paved areas. Improper handling of radioactive materials in large and small industries can create extensive contamination of buildings, equipment, and land. These sites are not only dangerous but are expensive to clean up. www.epa.gov . For more information on radiation link to www.epa.gov . A good source of information on worker protection from radiation can be found at the US Department of Energy Office of Health, Safety and Security website at: www.hss.energy.gov . The entire 15 minute DVD, Preservation Aviation Superfund Cleanup, is available for free from the EPA at: www.ertvideo.org .

Testing for cleanup of areas contaminated with blister agents us army 1942
During WWI, soldier on the chemical battlefield had to rely on their own senses (smell, and throat and nose irritation) to detect chemicals. Since most of the World War I chemical agents had identifiable unique odors, the sense of smell was the best detector of the presence of chemical agents. . Unfortunately, the sniff test was inaccurate for low levels of chemical vapor. In addition, after conducting the sniff test for several hours, a soldier would gradually lose his ability to detect low levels of mustard agent. Of course, in high levels of mustard agent, the sniff test was extremely dangerous. The need for a detection capability that could detect mustard agent already on a leaking chemical shell or other surfaces resulted in the concept of the detector crayon. Over 600000 packs of the crayons were procured during World War II. After the war, it was discovered that the crayon also reacted with nerve agents, turning yellow instead of blue. The Crayon was obsoleted in 1965. The British developed adetector paint for use on paper that could be stuck on the end of a bayonet and used as a probe. The Chemical Warfare Service took Detector Paint and applied it to light Bristol board, cut it up in small pieces, and bound them in a booklet form as an Agent Detector Paper in 1942. Over 1.1 million books of 25 sheets were procured during the World War II. Liquid Agent Detector Paper was obsoleted in 1963. For a historical look at the development of decontamination, go to the US

2/13/13 Chicago-Morgan Parks Billy Garrett shoots against Simeon. Stacia Timonere/for Sun Times Media
Morgan Park had to score, there was no other option. Things didn't look good. Senior guard Kyle Davis was trapped in the corner, with the final seconds in overtime ticking away.
Davis somehow got the ball to Josh Cunningham, who found Billy Garrett Jr. wide open just past center court.
Suddenly, a busted play was perfect. Garrett exploded to the hoop, scoring with 11 seconds to give No. 2 Morgan Park the victory it had craved all season long, a 54-53 win over rival Simeon in the semifinals of the Public League playoffs Wednesday at Chicago State.
"It was sort of a broken play," Garrett Jr. said. "Kyle kinda lost his dribble, Josh got it and he found me."
Simeon senior Jabari Parker had a chance to win the game, but his baseline jumper with 0.9 seconds to play didn't fall.
"It's not the worst thing in the world," Simeon coach Robert Smith said. "We are still going to wake up in the morning tomorrow. You can't win them all."
Davis led the Mustangs (26-2) with 15 points. Garrett finished with 11 points, five rebounds and four assists. Senior guard Markee Williams, who teamed with Garrett to win the city title as freshmen three years ago, played one of his best games of the season with 12 points.
Williams scored seven points in the first five minutes of the game, setting the tone early for Morgan Park.
"Markee told me at the beginning of the city tournament that he was going to help bring another one home," Morgan Park coach Nick Irvin said.
Parker finished with 14 points and eight rebounds. The final shot was the only one he attempted in overtime. He shot 4-for-17 from the field in the game.
Kendall Pollard scored 11 for Simeon (22-3), but fouled out and did not play in the overtime. Kendrick Nunn finished with 10 points and Jaylon Tate had nine.
Morgan Park's bigs were productive. Cunningham had four points and eight rebounds. Lamont Walker scored five and grabbed six rebounds and Xzavier Taylor added six boards off the bench.
Unlike the first meeting between the teams, which Simeon won, the Mustangs attacked the basket instead of settling for three point shots.
"The last game we took way too many jump shots," Irvin said. "We knew we couldn't do that again."
Morgan Park will face Young in the title game on Friday at Chicago State.

In an effort to reduce the frenzy generated by the release of its latest shoes, Nike has discontinued midnight launch events and asked consumers to reserve products via Twitter. Prior to release, Twitter accounts for specific Nike stores will notify followers when a certain shoe will go on sale and provide a date for when they will begin accepting RSVPs. Once reservations begin, users must direct message the store within 60 minutes and provide a custom hashtag, the last four digits of their government issued ID, and their shoe size. The store will then respond offering confirmations on a "first respond, first serve" basis. In addition to eliminating midnight availability, Nike has prohibited customers from lining up at stores for new products. Naturally, Nike's new policies do not apply to third-party retailers, such as FootLocker.
While other companies have utilized Twitter as their primary method for promoting new products — like limited edition movie poster maker Mondo Tees — few have gone as far as to use it as an integral part of the sales process. Nike's efforts fall in line with Twitter's growing emphasis on brand representation and promotion, and should it prove successful, could lead to greater adoption of the social network as a tool for e-commerce.
For more details on Nike's Twitter reservations and to follow your local store, hit the source link.

There's so much more to pumpkins than pie. Bars around the country are getting gourd with their cocktails, adding a bit of the seasonal squash to their sips.
When Pearl Wine Co. owner Leora Madden heard that Mississippi distillery Cathead (maker of a cult-favorite pecan vodka) was launching a limited-edition pumpkin vodka, she immediately pre-ordered six cases and secured a month of exclusive rights for her New Orleans bar-retail shop.
She and mixologist Mary Dixie Anderson developed The Upstate with all things fall in mind — a cup of tea with honey, spices, warm citrus and, of course, pumpkin. It has been Pearl's top-selling cocktail since it was added to the menu in September.
The Upstate
- 1 ½ ounces Cathead Pumpkin Spice
- ⅛ ounce allspice or pimento dram
- ½ ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce tea syrup (see below)
1. To make the syrup, brew extra-strong red tea, then combine equal parts tea and honey. Add two scant teaspoons of salt to one quart of tea syrup.
2. To make the cocktail, combine all ingredients in a shaker over ice and strain. Serve in a jelly jar.
One-upping the omnipresent pumpkin latte, Bar Dupont in Washington, DC, serves a Pumpkin Chai cocktail made with four creamy, spiced liquors. No mixers. No messing around. Served cold or warm — to thaw after trick-or-treating festivities — it's a well-spiced sample of the season.
Pumpkin Chai
- 1 ounce Spiced Rum (preferable Captain Morgan)
- 1 ounce Frangelico
- 1 ounce White Chocolate Liqueur (preferably Godiva)
- 1 ounce Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice
Combine in a shaker. If chilled, add ice. Shake. Add to chilled martini glass. Garnish with cinnamon.
Across town at Graffiato, the fall favorite Smashing Pumpkins gets a double dose of the gourd with Corsair Pumpkin Moonshine and Maine's Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale.
The mix, which also includes Pennsylvania maple syrup and allspice bitters, is brightened with orange oil.
"It just reminds everyone of fall," said bar manager Taha Ismail, who suggests pairing the hoptail with one of the menu's seasonal dishes, such as Kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin) with persimmon and arugula.

Posted under Denver & Innovation and Reform & PPC & Research & Teachers
The Denver Post reports this morning (via the Washington Post) about a newly-released Vanderbilt University study on teacher performance pay:
The study, which the authors and other experts described as the first scientifically rigorous review of merit pay in the United States, measured the effect of financial incentives on teachers in Nashville public schools and found that better pay alone was not enough to inspire gains.
Advocates of performance pay did not immediately challenge the methodology of the study. But they said its conclusions were narrow and failed to evaluate the full package of professional development and other measures that President Obama and philanthropists such as Bill Gates say are crucial to improving America's public schools.
Does this mean we should throw out the whole idea of incentive or performance-based pay for school teachers? Not so fast.
First of all, a 2008 research project from the University of Arkansas suggests something near the opposite — that Little Rock teachers responded favorably to student achievement bonuses and students recorded measurable growth in math and reading, as a result.
Second, whether or not performance pay helps cause some teachers to work harder and more effectively, there are other motivations for enacting the policy. As the Eduwonk explains (and is corroborated by Dr. Eric Hanushek in this Education Week story and by Rick Hess on his blog) about the new Nashville study:
The most powerful hope of reforming teacher compensation is to change many of the people who make up the instructional workforce, not to change the behavior of some existing teachers. In other words, make the system more attractive to potential teachers who bring the backgrounds, abilities and other characteristics to effect the greatest change in student learning, especially in (but not limited to) targeted areas and assignments.
Finally, of course, creating performance-based teacher pay systems is not a "silver bullet," nor should it be seen that way. Compensation needs to be reformed alongside training, development, evaluation and job protections — both for teachers and principals. (Not to mention the importance of further empowering parents and enhancing competition through school choice.) The job is starting to get done in places, but let's not put the brakes on reform efforts by reading too much into the results of one study.

The sheriff's deputy who arrested Mel Gibson for drunken driving in 2006 will have his discrimination case heard by a jury, a judge ruled on January 12, according to the Associated Press. However, Superior Court Judge Barbara Scheper expressed doubts that Deputy James Mee's case can win.
"While I think it's thin, I think there are enough facts to create a question for the jury to decide," Scheper said, according to the wire service, during a hearing in which Los Angeles County attorneys tried to have the case dismissed.
Mee, who arrested Gibson in Malibu in 2006, will be allowed to argue to jurors that he suffered discrimination and had to work in a hostile environment with his colleagues after the incident. The trial is scheduled for February 14.
Mee, who is Jewish, claims his Christian superior officers ordered him to remove Gibson's anti-Semitic remarks from a report and then ostracized him and blocked his chances for a promotion.
According to a police report posted on TMZ at the time and quoted by international media outlets, Gibson allegedly said: "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." He has not confirmed his specific remarks.
Gibson later apologized and pleaded no contest to the charge. He was sentenced to three years probation and underwent alcohol rehabilitation. Gibson's conviction was expunged in 2009 after he completed all the terms of his sentence.
"Please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite," he said in a statement at the time. "I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith."
Los Angeles Sheriff's Department attorneys denied any wrongdoing and written in court filings that the deputy was insubordinate at times after Gibson's arrest and subjected to the same discipline as others.
Mee was also investigated as a potential source who leaked his initial report containing Gibson's anti-Semitic rant, but prosecutors found no evidence that he provided the details to TMZ after a long investigation. He is still a deputy but he no longer patrols for drunken drivers in Malibu.
Mee's attorney Yael Trock did not yet know whether Gibson, who is not named in the lawsuit, will be called as a witness.
"Mel Gibson is not the issue here," Trock said. "The issue is that the department mistreated Deputy Mee, who dared to arrest Mel Gibson and treated him like any other person."

|I technically been a customer for 2 years now. I have the GS3 I got it for $349 during black Friday. I am in college in Fitchburg Massachusetts, I work and live in the Worcester county area and go clubbing in providence. Everywhere I go I get 4G, I have never dropped a call, nor had failing texts, and my online payments are really simple and I have never had to call customer service. I get about 2.5mb down on LTE on average. But I am noticing Metro PCS's service is getting more efficient on LTE service (since I am getting stronger bars in bigger buildings) and it is getting faster too! Love them, for $60 with Hotspot included I can't complain. I got an email from Metro PCS as well saying I shall be getting Jellybean in a couple weeks AND they're LTE speeds in the spots, should be a minimum of 8mb down. So I am excited!! :)
|Service range has been good. I live about 40 miles from Boston and have only had service problems in the areas that all providers experience service problems. I have good service in central Maine, and during a Hawaiian vacation. Internet access though is sometimes difficult in remote areas. As for customer service, it is below average. I get the same incompetence that all big companies have, but English is almost always a second language. However, I have needed that service rarely. Still, for $50 per month I feel I get a broad range of services and features.
|My phone works great where I live in GA. There are some dead zones, ironically the same place as AT&T had here! I love my Samsung Motion Android. Very reasonably priced too. NEVER any unknown charges popping up! Also, they take off $5 for every other person you add to the plan. I also get mobile hot spot for no charge. I am definitely satisfied although I had some customer service issues, I asked for a Supervisor and was given one immediately. He was able to resolve my problem.
|I live in vegas and this phone campany is so much better than criket.I have the samsung admire and it is really a great phone just wish it had a front camera but other than that the 3g is super fast and the service is great like i get a few drpoped calls here and there but nothing big:) but for 50 dollars i get good 3g and unlimited everything, what more can i ask from metro they have been so good and way btter than criket trust me worst company and very cheap phones and worst service ever-__-* I recomend this company to anyone but everything is fine so dont wrry about worst company just make sure you know somone who has it and they like it cause service depends where you live but other than that great company!!!:D

After the Proposal Has Been Submitted
Click here for a PDF version
Waiting for the foundation to respond denies the emphasis on creating and maintaining a dialogue with the potential funder. Once you've sent the proposal, allow about 2 weeks to pass, then call the corporation or foundation to do the following:
- Confirm that the proposal was received.
- Find out to whom on the funder's staff, if you don't already know, the proposal has been assigned (be sure to get the correct spelling and title for that person).
- Ask to speak with that person, if possible.
- Offer to send any additional information, if it is needed.
- Establish yourself or whoever is appropriate (and specified in the proposal) as the contact person, giving the specific phone number and e-mail address of the individual.
- Offer to meet (or to meet again) to review your request and the specifics in the proposal.
- Invite the staff member to visit your chapter, if appropriate and if it has not already occurred.
- Ask when the foundation or corporate decision-makers will next meet.
- Ask for any other information you need about the potential funder. However, be sure you've done your prospect research. Foundations expect you to find out as much as you can about them from printed materials, the Web, and other resources mentioned previously.
- Thank the individual for their consideration of your proposal.
Another way to build and maintain your relationship with a potential funder while your proposal is under consideration is to update your contact on your organization's progress, particularly as it relates to the program or project for which you are seeking support. Don't overwhelm, but do let the funder know key points. Things to communicate while requests are pending:
- Hiring of staff for the program or project.
- Completion or preparation of other major components of the program or project, such as cost estimates, acquisition of new space for the program, or construction plans for a new building.
- Receipt of approvals, certifications, awards or accreditations, especially where these are required for proceeding with a program or project.
- Receipt of major recognition or achievements for your chapter and the AF as a whole.
- Receipt of other grants for support of the program or project.
- Other critical information that will help your case for support.
Take note:
- You are ethically obligated to inform potential funders if you have other requests pending or if funds other funds have been received for the same project or program.
- Informing potential funders of funds received will usually help strengthen your case and often helps generate other grants from additional sources. Funders like to be on a winning team.
If your request is turned down the relationship should NOT end:
- Meet with the funder, if possible, or at least talk over the phone.
- Ask these key questions:
- Will they share with you the reasons why you were turned down? Was it that you did not meet the areas of interest and published guidelines of the foundation, or were there other reasons that can be discussed?
- What was the staff member's overall opinion of your approach to the foundation, including your proposal and related materials? How could the approach, proposal and materials be improved?
- How soon can apply for support at some future time?
- Does the staff member have any other recommendations about other possible sources of support for this particular program or project?
- Are there other helpful suggestions or advice the individual can share?

I was training a client recently and, after she mentioned the extra wine she'd had the previous evening, I made the mistake of bringing up a report put out by the National Center for Health Statistics about that very topic. The report found that, on average, American adults get at least 100 calories a day from beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages and some of us may get more than 300 extra calories.
There were some other interesting facts in there as well, but I didn't have time to bring them up because, it was at this point my client stopped in mid-pedal (she was on her elliptical machine), grabbed her chest and shouted, "You will NOT take my chard! I need my chard!"
For the record, she wasn't talking about chard, as in the leafy green vegetable, but the kind of chard that comes in a bottle with a cork.
That's Chardonnay, if you didn't figure that out.
I'm sure many of us enjoy our chard - or whatever alcoholic beverage we prefer - and I'm also sure that many of us worry how much our drinking may affect our waistlines. After all, estimating how many calories we're eating may be common practice for some, but how many of us look up the calorie counts for our favorite alcoholic beverages?
That isn't to say we can't enjoy a drink from time to time, but if you're watching your waistline, you have to watch all your calories...even the ones you don't particularly want to watch. If you want to know more, check out my most recently updated article in which I talk about how alcohol can sabotage your weight loss goals. If you don't want to know more, carry on.
Now, it's your turn. Do you drink alcohol and, if so, do you pay attention to how much you drink? How much do you worry about alcohol and weight gain? Leave a comment and tell us how you deal with alcohol and your weight.

I have lots of friends who drink like crazy and then can't figure why their butts keep getting bigger. Go figure……
- November 18, 2009 at 9:01 am(2) Jane says:
I stick with red wine and mostly only have it on the weekends. You get buzzed quicker than with most cocktails and it's a lot fewer calories.
- November 18, 2009 at 12:31 pm(3) fanny says:
I am not a big drinker and am a light weight. I prefer stronger alcohol, which means I like mixed drinks. This also means I have to watch what I drink.
The other thing people forget is that when you do drink and get buzzed, you forget to watch what you are eating at a party. You tend to munch without paying attention, so drinking is two fold, the calories from the beverage and the extra munchies you don't pay attention to. I lose best when I don't drink at all.
- November 18, 2009 at 7:40 pm(4) Lena Lee says:
The highest my weight has ever been was during the time when I waitressed. Why? I mean it was an extremely fast paced, on my feet, non-stop movement job….Well because me and my fellow coworkers would go out for drinks every other night and drink after work. Once I left the field, stopped drinking and lost weight it starled me just how much weight alcohol can pack on – especially since my new job was behind a desk and I weighed about 30lbs less.
- November 18, 2009 at 9:02 pm(5) Barb says:
I agree with Fanny. Drinking to much reduces your control. I like a couple of glasses of wine in the evening but it can easily lead to more than a couple. So I've vowed to myself that for every glass of wine, I must dring a bottle of water (16 oz) in between.
- November 18, 2009 at 11:12 pm(6) DJ says:
Fanny, is right drinking will increase your appetite. Also, once I learned that alcohol consumption diverts your body fat burning process just to process the alcohol, it became very clear-that extreme moderation was the only way to go.
- November 19, 2009 at 9:28 am(7) Lisa says:
I am a recovering alcoholic(sober since 1-14-08) In the 22 months since I stopped drinking, I have lost over 75lbs. It was amazing how quickly the lbs came off, but I had never really stopped to think about alll the calories I consumed in a day. The average diet is around 2000 calories a day-add to that the 7-10 shots of whiskey I drank(at 100 calories each)-no wonder I weighed over 220 when I stopped drinking!!
I would encourage those who will imbibe over the holidays to make a point to walk, swim, whatever extra so that the extra glass of eggnog or hot toddy doesn't end up on your waistline or backside!
- November 22, 2009 at 2:24 am(8) svb says:
It was never about what I drank…until recently. For some reason I feel like I cannot get rid of my lil' tummy…now I am starting to second guess my wine consumption…
- November 23, 2009 at 11:24 pm(9) Chris says:
I've been on Atkins for awhile, dropped 15-20, and I'm trying to lose an extra 10. Last I checked, rum, scotch, vodka, those sugar free alcohols have zero sugar and zero calories. Do they have any effect on weight gain or am I just nuts? Even Dr. Atkins has said that if you're on the diet, the alcohol gets burned first so you're taking a risk that the fat will stay on you if you drink – even if it's low carb alcohol.
I get that alcohol induces hunger, but does alcohol itself cause you to put weight on, even if you have the will power to say no?
- November 24, 2009 at 4:00 pm(10) Kara says:
Rum, Vodka, etc. ALL have calories.
- November 25, 2009 at 1:24 pm(11) sediqua says:
I did not want to beleive it. I thought red wine was ok, and did not think it was hindering my weight loss efforts. Because drinking wine and martinis is my only dietary vice, I thought it was OK while exercising and dieting. Its not.
One a day is OK, but even then, its best to stop completely, at least until you've reached your maintence stage of weight loss.
For one, the effects of alcohol on weight gain is not a calorie for calorie issue. If your drink alcohol, this becomes the fuel of choice, and your body will not BURN FAT. So all those days with me weight lifting and on the treadmill were cancelled out by my drinking.
Second of all, again, because alcohol is the fuel of choice, it acts like embalming fluid to your whole body. So all those weightloss supplements I was taking, was all for nothing, because the nutrients could not be absorbed.
Third of all, alcohol leads to dehydration. You are supposed to consume half your weight in oz daily, in order to burn calories. Thats a lot of water! So lets say you weigh 200 pounds, technically, you would have to drink 100 oz of water each day to lose weight, and flush fat out of your body.
Drinking alcohol can interefer with this process too.
Also, if you are drinking more than two a day, you run the risk of vitamin deficiencies that contribute to water retention, mainly, a deficiency of vitamin B. One of the side effects of a vitamin B deficiency is swelling.
I used to keep a journal, and at first, did not think my wine or martinis effected my weight loss efforts. Recently, I've started to drink a little bit more, and despite keeping my calories below 1300, some days I wake up puffy and and my eyes and face and tummy looking swelled.
So now, finally, I am going to give up wine and martinis for the next thirty days, and see how much better I feel.

I like to drink. I don't do it everyday but on certain weekends I might go a bit crazy and have 5-8 whisky-cokes easy (diet coke mind you.. )
I also like to work out. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week with an intense exercise program. I am fit but still working the kinks. anyway, the worst thing about drinking is not the calories gained by the alcohol itself, it's the mindset of wanting to eat afterwards to 'soak up' the alcohol so you won't have a hangover the next day. I know its most likely dehydration and all you need is water to make you feel better, but you've been drinking all night. The last thing you want to do when you're heading back home is sipping on more liquids, even though I do force myself to drink at least a small bottle of water before going to sleep!

I find it's pretty easy to factor in the calories of some cold beer to my fitness diary. I am aware that I will NOT have washboard abs if I continue to do that. (Note: There's also a distinct possibility that i won't have washboard abs even if I stop.) But the risk factor for me is a little alcohol lowers my resolve to control my caloric intake.
- April 26, 2013 at 10:48 am(14) Karen says:
I think it is like everything, it's all very personal. If you think alcohol is causing you to gain or unable to maintain weight, then go off the sauce for a while and see what happens. If you can't give it up, well that is an entirley different issue. I, personally, had to cut back on alcohol quite a bit due to a medical situation and I was secretly hoping some of the pounds would go with it. I found that alchol addition or subtraction has made very little difference in my weight. I am a heavy eater and a heavy exerciser and I am not interested in changing either of those thing, so I accept what that offers me:)
- April 29, 2013 at 5:20 pm(15) susan says:
Well, I don't think it's the alcohol that is so high in calories as the food
that you eat when you drink. Have you ever seen a fat alcoholic? I haven't and they don't gain weight because they don't eat only drink.
- April 29, 2013 at 5:29 pm(16) BHA says:
I do believe alcohol prevents weight loss. Not only the calories, but how those calories react with your body. 250 calories of a snickers are not the same as 250 calories of broccoli. HOWEVER, I have quit drinking for 3 weeks. A month. My weight doesn't change. WHY? I get so bummed I go back to my glass of wine w/dinner. not 4 oz, but 6 oz. oh, dear. the challenge goes on.

Bha- try cross referencing it with the blood type diet. I am a type A and red wine acts as a medicine. Research that to see if it helps.

Hello: I quit drinking Jan 12th, 2013 and have lost 45 lbs so far to date. Been working out and never felt better. I have got a lot out of the daily tips I get on stress relief. Thanks so much for all the great information. Jim A.

Yes I work six day's a week, long hours, used to get home, crack a tinny, start a meal, nibble on what I was preparing, crack another tinny, eat my meal, with another tinny, finish my meal have another couple.
the old waist and butt was blowing out even though I worked in a fast paced work environment. changed the first tinny to a cup of tea, prepped a meal, no nibbles, had one with the meal one after, yep the waist and butt are going down bigtime.so for me drinking I had to nible food

I have never suffered in all my life when it comes to alcohol being involved with my weight gain or weight loss. I can get myself revved up to put on 20lb. of muscle in about 8 weeks or more. I get with my buddies for a weekend of partying and I lose all it and more that I had accomplished by Monday morning! I had to kick the booze and my buddies to the curb.
- April 30, 2013 at 8:06 am(22) Aimless says:
Once in awhile, mostly weekends, I will have a low cal beer (okay 2 or 3) BUT… I make sure I have extra time on the Eliptical or running to make up for the extra calories. Many family members cannot figure out why they continue to gain weight despite their "efforts" and constantly ask me how I maintain mine. I always point out the "hidden" calories in the beer, wine, rum and soda and say that it is fine to have a caloric beverage as long as you are willing to run the extra 15 to 45 minutes. To put it into perspective, pretend you have to walk the mile to the store to get every single beer you want. I guess you will really, really want that beer if you are willing to walk a mile for EVERY beer just to get one!!
- May 1, 2013 at 1:30 am(23) Brenda says:
I have been struggling with the whole alcohol, exercise and guilt thing. Usually I drink red wine or whiskey, and normally only at parties / socially. Drinking too much leads to bad eating, hangover, not wanting to exercise the next day, feeling depressed, and then guilty. Perhaps I feel this way because I am trying to live a healthy life. I exercise 5/7 days a week, because it helps my moods. Thanks for your articles, they are very helpful.
- May 3, 2013 at 8:53 am(24) Jon says:
I used to drink alot. I grew tired of it and just stopped (with a support group). At the time I was 35lbs overwieght after I stopped and began a fitness program I lost 30lbs in the last year. The first 20 or so came off rather quickly which I assume was the 'Alochol wieght'.

Judge: Attorney for Kyron's former stepmom can't question landscaper
PORTLAND, Ore. – A judge decided Thursday that Terri Moulton Horman, the former stepmother of missing boy Kyron Horman won't be allowed to question the family landscaper.
Kyron Horman disappeared four years ago from his school in Northwest Portland. Since then Terri has been fighting to see her 5-year-old daughter Kiara, who she had with Kaine.
Terri's attorney says the alleged murder-for-hire plot involving the landscaper is the main reason why the court decided Terri couldn't see her daughter.
The judge said he would give "limited weight" to testimony from the landscaper. Outside the courtroom, Terri and her attorney had no comment on Thursday's hearing.
Kyron's father, Kaine, did speak and took of his suit coat to show he was wearing a "Find Kyron" T-shirt.
"We still have this guy missing," he said. "And there's nothing more important to me than keeping my daughter safe and bringing him home. We have work to do."
The parenting and custody trial is scheduled for June.
A judge in December 2013 finalized the couple's divorce.

Scholar - Intoxicating ft. Archapello
Artist: Scholar
Producer: Archapello
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 10 total votes )
Arizona has that heat that makes roadkill sizzle on the streets, thus it makes perfect sense that Phoenix transplant Scholar breezes air-conditioned lyrics on his brand new, smoothed-out single, Intoxicating. Featured vocals from Archapello give this track an extra push, but those unfamiliar with the duo may attribute the 'ooh''s and 'ahh''s to moaning sound-master The-Dream. (The comparisons aren't that canny, though.) Scholar's artistic flow over 'Pello's R&B-driven production has not only built this young up-and-comer into an underground sensation in Arizona, but proves he might just have what it takes to make it on the big stage. Intoxicating marks the arrival of a promising Southwestern artist… one not named Willy Northpole.

How to wear dresses with flowy fabric
Have you ever tried on a dress and it added an instant 20 pounds? Did it just seem like there was too much fabric? Since buying a dress online makes it that much harder to find the right cut and fit for you, here is a helpful guide to choosing dresses, tops and skirts that are loose, flowy and romantic.
Where the waist hits
Is the waist of the dress at your waist ie- the smallest part of your middle? It's absolutely find to have a dress that brings the waistline down a bit but if the waist of the dress and the area where most of the fabric gathers is at one of your larger spots (hips or waist) it's not a good fit for you.
Example: If you aren't an hourglass or carry more of your weight in your middle, a dress like the chiffon ASOS dress might not be the right choice for you. But with larger thighs, the sleeves on this dress will even out your bottom half, accentuate your middle and give you a beautiful hourglass. How much fabric gathers?
Don't worry! If you carry a little extra in your middle, this dress will be perfect. With no gather in the middle, toss on some amazing shoes and earrings with this Marchesa metallic dress and you'll look like a zillion bucks! With no middle gather, it's an easy shift-like choice. Add a Belt
Never hesitate to cinch in some of this season's flowy dresses and shirts! You can click on any image to find the belt and here are some great stylish choices:
Add some color! Find this at ShopBop
Classic, beautiful and would dress up a nicer outfit or any work clothes.
Love this! It's two layers of chain and closes with leather. Very cool and only $30.Other Flowy Styles:
Rule of thumb: a loose top requires fitted pants and a loose skirt requires a fitted top. That will keep you from adding the 20 pounds of weight created by too much fabric! Here are some separates to mix and match following that rule, some flowy and some fitted: A flowy, flattering dress without too much fabric! Pleated skirt with a JCrew blazer for some retro flair.

Georgia Dabritz scored a 9.90 on both floor and vault in her first NCAA Super Six.
April 21, 2012
DULUTH, Ga.--
The young Utah gymnastics team turned in a veteran performance in the NCAA Super Six team finals, hitting all 24 routines without a fall, to land fifth place in a power-packed meet. Alabama won with a 197.850, followed by Florida (197.775), UCLA (197.750), Stanford (197.500), Utah (197.375) and Arkansas (196.300).
"Shoot, we feel like we were such a better team than last year and did such a better job at the championships, but we still finished fifth," said coach Greg Marsden. "The other teams were all better too, though, and there is very little room for very small errors anymore. We did some great things, but little steps in this environment are costly."
Emphasizing his point was the fact that Stanford, a team Utah beat in three previous meetings this season, passed the Utes on the final rotation when Utah finished several nice bar routines with a hop.
"I'm very proud of this group," said Marsden. "You really had to raise your game to even be in the Super Six. We would have liked to finish higher, but we have to be happy with how we did because we performed very well."
He also took consolation in the team he has returning next year. Fourteen of Utah's 24 routines were performed by freshmen and sophomores and they produced some of Utah's biggest scores. Among them was a 9.95 by freshman Tory Wilson on vault, and a 9.90 on both vault and floor by freshman Georgia Dabritz. They produced Utah's best individual finishes of the night with Dabritz tying for third on floor and Wilson tying for fourth on vault.
"We are losing three talented seniors (Stephanie McAllister, Kyndal Robarts and Cortni Beers) and we've really leaned on them," said Marsden. "But we have a lot of young talent returning and hopefully finishing fifth will make us even more determined."
Utah got off to a blazing start on the balance beam, tying its season-high of 49.350. It had been three months since the Utes last scored that well on the treacherous event. Utah made every routine look easy, starting with Corrie Lothrop's 9.825 and ending with Kassandra Lopez' 9.875. In between, McAllister and Mary Beth Lofgren had 9.85s, Beers a 9.875 and Robarts a team-best 9.90.
The Utes took a break after the beam, heading to their first bye of the night. In the first round, with Alabama and Stanford out on byes, Utah was tied for second with UCLA (both with 49.35) behind Florida (49.475). In fourth was Arkansas (49.175). While Utah was in the bye room, Alabama would score a 49.450 and Stanford a 49.35 on their first events of the night.
Utah had a mostly solid 49.350 floor set with especially nice routines from Dabritz (9.90) and Nansy Damianova (9.875), but a step out of bounds by McAllister prevented her from contributing her usual big score and at the midway point, the team scores looked like this: Alabama 99.075, Florida 98.90, UCLA 98.875, Utah and Stanford 98.675 and Arkansas 98.400.
Off to vault went the Utes, where the day before they produced a monster 49.525 set. This overall effort couldn't quite match up--although it was certainly good--especially huge vaults from Wilson (9.95) and Dabritz (9.90). Yesterday's leader, Kailah Delaney counted a hop (9.85) and Robarts (9.85) also stepped on her landing and Utah "settled" for a 49.40.
Utah (148.075) entered its final bye trailing UCLA (148.350) and Florida (148.075) and ahead of Arkansas (146.85). After Alabama (148.35) and Stanford (147.95) had their turn at round three, Utah was in fourth place.
The Utes lost ground to Stanford on their final event even while hitting all of their bar routines. Hops on landings were costly to some. McAllister (9.90) and Beers (9.875) stuck their dismounts after nice routines and Dabritz also scored a 9.875.
Sunday, two Utes will compete for individual titles: freshmen Delaney and Dabritz, both on vault. Delaney scored a 9.95 on qualifying night to place first in the early semifinal, while Dabritz tied for second with a 9.925.
They were two of four Utes to earn first-team All-America honors--the others were McAllister and Lothrop in the all-around--while freshman Tory Wilson was a second-team All-American on vault.
McAllister also won second-team All-America honors on vault while Lothrop picked up a pair of second-team awards on bars and floor.
Delaney and Dabritz will be the fourth and competitors on vault on Sunday.

Washoe County School District's counselors got a visit from a trailblazer in their field Wednesday.
The president of the American School Counselors Association (ASCA) stopped in Reno at Truckee Meadows Community College to help them adapt to changes in the education system.
Nevada and WCSD are implementing higher standards and more accountability in schools. So, the counselors said they need to have proof in the numbers of the impact they have on students.
"In this time of accountability, school counselors have to show that they are a part of the accountability arena," ASCA President Dr. Sylinda Banks said, "and have data to prove the impact of their programs."
WCSD invited Dr. Banks to speak at a professional development meeting to show counselors a new model for their programs, which is based on data and the needs of individual students. The new model would be more proactive than some more traditional counseling programs.
Dr. Banks said the mark of good counseling isn't always obvious, but it is a necessary part of the education experience.
"If a student is not emotionally available," Banks said, "the best curriculum, the best teacher, the best textbook, it's not going to matter."
About 150 counselors from across the region attended Wednesday's meeting.

It's been more than a month since Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles' tendon which puts his 2012 season in doubt. But the Baltimore Ravens star linebacker continues to say that he will return to the field at some point in the 2012 season. A little optimistic for an injury that usually includes a recovery time of 9-12 months.
On Thursday, Suggs once again proclaimed he would be back in uniform this year.
"I will be in a Baltimore Ravens uniform in 2012. The only question is when."
The Ravens reportedly aren't counting on him to play. He suffered the injury at the end of April and the Ravens season starts in September. We'll see what the Ravens think about his status for the 2012 season when they need his roster spot. If they continue to hold an open spot for him on the active roster come the regular season, then we'll know they believe he has a legitimate shot at returning.

The Weybridge treasurer who admits
embezzling over $100,000 from the town also managed the finances of the town
school district.
Karen Brisson resigned her position as
Weybridge town clerk and treasurer after confessing her theft to the town
select board. No criminal charges have been filed and the town is conducting an
audit of its books to determine the full extent of the missing funds.
However, Brisson was also the
treasurer for the Weybridge Town School District. School officials say they
learned of Brisson's resignation from the town Monday. School superintendent
Gail Conley said, "We are confident that no school funds are missing.
However, to be 100 percent accurate we have hired out auditing firm... to do a
forensic audit."

The Department of Transportation has a warning for drivers using US41 between San Carlos Boulevard and Corkscrew Road to use caution. The road is under construction and has twists, turns and lane changes - a nightmare for drivers.
"Definitely stressful," said driver Laura Loveland.
"We've had people come up to us in wrong lane headed for us head on! And then at the last minute, they veer off. It's scary!" said driver Gloria Barlow.
The 2 1/2 mile stretch will get your heart racing with shifting lanes, broken asphalt, cars darting out from area businesses and construction workers just feet from the lane lines.
The jumbled construction zone has the Department of Transportation pleading with drivers to take it easy.
"Driving is a privilege, it's not a right. And showing courtesy by putting down your cell, watching your speed, it literally makes the difference between life and death," said Debbie Tower of the Department of Transportation.
Tower says - slow down, stick to your lane, and keep your distance from other vehicles.
The DOT is concerned because the corridor is so narrow.
"It's tight for drivers, tight for workers and means everybody needs to be heads up," said Tower.
In an effort to save taxpayers money, the DOT is buying less right-of-way land. That means cars are squeezed onto the west side of the road and there isn't room for new turn lanes into and out of businesses.
The DOT has set up barricades and installed flex sticks to direct traffic,
Beyond that, they say there's little more they can do. They're relying on drivers to be attentive.
