Sigh. It's summer. The gym is packed with 'boys'. Boys who stare. Boys who I want to scold for the obviousness. Sophomoric. It is the word of the day. I wonder what it will be like next summer when I'm bringing my own teenaged son to the gym. Might be embarrassing for him.
One kid is off to (indoor) basketball camp. The other is stuck at home because his sailing camp was cancelled for the day. It's just miserable out!
We rented boats go to out on our little lake today. My son and I went out in a kayak (a first for both of us) and my daughter and husband went out in a canoe. It was great. I preferred kayaking to canoeing. My son was a natural. This summer we are renting various boats to figure out what, if anything, we'd like to buy for next summer. Right now his vote is for 4 single kayaks because he wants to be out there on his own. For a kid who spends most of his time on a screen (although we've confiscated the laptop and lock down the internet to all the kids' devices), it makes me SO happy that he's finding physical activity he likes. (He's also working with a trainer and enjoying that.)
On Friday we upgraded our cruise stateroom from an assigned oceanview room to a guarantee at a level called 'aquaclass' - balcony stateroom with various 'spa' amenities and access to the 'clean' restaurant called Blu. We've been assigned our room and I'm very happy with the location - steps to the stairs and one flight down from the fitness center and aquaspa cafe (casual 'clean' breakfast/lunch). This means I will have access to FANTASTIC and healthy food for all 3 meal (and at least one of my usual snack times). I am delighted. The best part is that it cost us a grand total of $107 extra for the 7 nights. It was a crazy price drop!
I got centergy in this morning because the kids' camp schedules make it impossible for me to go during the day this week. I'm hoping to squeeze another class in Tuesday evening. I'll get my strength training in because I can do that around camp schedules. 2 weeks until the cruise... and I'm very happy with where I am. This is the cruise I booked the day I joined the gym with the intention of being 'not overweight' by the time we cruised. Not only am I 'not overweight' I am at an ideal BMI with a lean body fat percentage and I've been there for 8+ months. I am so proud of that after 10 years of yoyoing (and NEVER being 'not overweight').
My kids have said a few funny things along the way from the old me to the new me. I thought I'd right a few down and, if I can find this again in the future, I'll add to the list over time.
Early on my daughter told me, sadly, that I wasn't squishy anymore. This is a bad thing for her because she LOVES to be squished :-(
Last winter we were shopping for clothes and I was holding things up for her inspection. She told me 'Stop doing that with your arm. It's freaky.' She meant, um, using it.... because it makes my muscles show.
Shortly after she started working with her trainer, she poked me me (hard!) in the middle and asked me 'Why aren't I hard like that? I eat a lot of CLIF bars too!'
Yesterday my son saw my before picture. He was amazed. I'm not sure why, it's not like he wasn't seeing me every single day along the whole journey. He told me 'You looked like a fat old lady! No, really, a fat old lady!' Um, thanks. I think. :-)
I'm reading about nutrition every day and LOVING it. Seriously loving it.
I'm reading the Nutrition textbook, of course, but I'm also on the wellness advisory committee for the local schools so I'm doing other reading for that. Do you know there is a 110(ish) page document outlining the dietary guidelines for Americans? HOLY! Who has time to read that if nutrition isn't a major focus of their life? I've added the PDF to my ipad so that I can make my way through it. I'm also reading more about the rules that govern food served in school and the reality of food served in school.
Do you know that the 'school lunch' may have 'healthy' (so they claim) guidelines but 94% of schools don't meet the guidelines! To top that off there are MANY competitive foods sold in schools from which a child can build their own lunches. The federal government has no rules governing those competitive foods so a child could, for example, make a lunch of chicken tenders, chocolate milk, and a couple of poptarts. The wellness advisory committee I am part of was formed to help implement the new Massachusetts law on competitive foods and to revise the wellness policy which was written over 5 years ago and never revisited (and VERY poorly implemented).
I'm also still making my way through The Weight of the Nation, taking notes, trying to figure out REASONABLE goals for our wellness advisory committee. There are so many people that are SO gung ho. I'm afraid we will make such huge changes and so many of them that people freak out and push back and nothing will change. I feel like we are not listening to the guidelines for weight control (which really is the long term goal of the law we are tasked with implementing) - #1 is to make SMALL CHANGES. #2 is to set REASONABLE GOALS.
(mini fitness update - Started a new whole body workout yesterday. It was GREAT. I am sore today. It's been weeks since I've had DOMS. Sadly, I'm also still feeling twinges of pain in my achilles from Tuesday's run so I think I'll stick with the elliptical for all of next week.)
I took a 2 week break from running. We did a lot of climbing on our hike on Sunday and I had no pain so I figured I'd give running a go. I did 1.25 miles at 5.5MPH before I had discomfort that was not going away. It wasn't as focused as before but I'm not taking any chances. I switched to the elliptical for the rest of my workout. I'll run again next Tuesday and see how it goes. I don't think I have to get 'serious' about running until after our August vacation and I really do enjoy the elliptical more. I noticed the elliptical was a lot harder when I returned to it after a months'-long break so I figure it's not horrible to go back to it.
YTD: 52.25 miles
I finished the first chapter of my nutrition text. Watched all the lessons (which were straight from the book). Took the first quiz. Easy peasy. Man, I've missed this. I did make my husband promise that he would do everything he could to stop me from pursuing another PhD (OMG, what hell the last year of THAT was) but we made no such deal about any other degree ;-)

National Heath Insurace Open Enrollment Begins Tomorrow
by Chris Malone
posted Sep 30 2013 7:15AM
A new chapter in the American story begins tomorrow with the open enrollment of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare as it is commonly known. Although it is a hot button of political talk and there are passionate opinions on both sides, I only wanted to share with you the official web site.
Experts warn to only use the official government website and not an alternative link because of the scam risks. So here is the web site:
I just went through it and had a few questions to ask and it is pretty straightforward. Of course nothing about the costs for coverage are posted yet. The wegb site says it will be up and running October 1.

A sweet and tasty summer treat, this Weight Watchers Strawberry Pie is a yummy and low calorie way to indulge your sweet tooth. Fresh, light strawberries, tangy jello, and creamy pudding combine to create a filling that satisfies cravings, but is more forgiving of your waistline than most desserts. To lighten it up even more, pour filling directly into a pie pan and skip the crust. This pie is roughly estimated at 5 points per slice.
Try other variations such as chocolate for the pudding, or make it with different berries like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries and the same flavor of sugar free Jello.

At long last, I just posted an updated 2013 Translation Database, and following the trend of recent years, the number of books has increased—significantly.
In fact, this is the first year since we started tracking the publication of never-before translated works of fiction and poetry that we surpassed 500 total books for the year. That's huge. Very huge. Let me show you just how huge.
In 2008, we identified 360 translations in total (278 works of fiction, 82 poetry).
2009 was almost identical: 362 total translations (290 fiction, 72 poetry).
2010 was a step backwards, with only 344 translations (266 fiction, 78 poetry).
Everything got back on track in 2011 with 374 total translations coming out (304 fiction, 70 poetry).
2012 was another increase, and was the first time the total broke into the 400s. Specifically, 456 translations came out (386 fiction, 70 poetry).
And now, we're up to 517 (427 fiction, 90 poetry). That's a 50% increase from 2010, or, in actual terms, 173 more translations came out in 2013 than in 2010. Seems unbelievable . . .
Someone asked me about this increase the other day, and from looking at the list of publishers, it looks like two things are contributing to this increase: publishers who have traditionally published literature in translation are now doing a couple more books every year, and there are far more publishers publishing books in translation than there were just a few years ago. (In 2010, 139 publishers did at least one translation. That number jumped to 187 in 2013.)
I going to talk about this more in a later post, but this database update reinforces my belief that there's a lot going on in the international literature world in the U.S. these days, and it's time to transition from discussions about how little is being made available to American readers and into discussions about what great books we should be paying attention to.
For example, how many of you have heard of Lontar Foundation? Anyone? Well, as part of their programs to support Indonesian literature, they published 8 titles last year. Granted, I doubt these are available anywhere outside of Amazon, but still. Let's talk about the interesting new projects and the should-be successes, instead of the fact that only 87 French books were published in translation last year.
And looking ahead, I think 2014 could feature another significant increase, what with Restless Books logging some titles into the Database (I'm particularly excited about Nest of Worlds because it's Polish. And it sounds like really literary sci-fi.), AmazonCrossing continuing to expand, a whole new batch of books from Dalkey Archive, etc., etc. I'm not sure we'll end up at 600 books, but 550? That sounds possible.

From the Publisher In this latest novel from bestselling author John Verdon, ingenious puzzle solver Dave Gurney puts under the magnifying glass a notorious serial murder case – one whose motives have been enshrined as law-enforcement dogma - and discovers that everyone has it wrong. The most decorated homicide detective in NYPD history, Dave Gurney is still trying to adjust to his life of quasi-retirement in upstate New York when a young woman who is producing a documentary on an infamous murder spree seeks his counsel.  Soon after, Gurney begins feeling threatened: a razor-sharp hunting arrow lands in his yard, and he narrowly escapes serious injury in a booby-trapped basement.  As things grow more bizarre, he finds himself reexamining the case of The Good Shepherd, which ten years before involved a series of roadside shootings and a rage-against-the-rich manifesto.  The killings ceased, and a cult of analysis grew up around the case with a consensus opinion that no one would dream of challenging—no one, that is, but Dave Gurney.      Mocked even by some who'd been his allies in previous investigations, Gurney realizes that the killer is too clever to ever be found.  The only gambit that may make sense is also the most dangerous—to make himself a target and get the killer to come to him.

Just Finished making a roller mill. It has 8 inch long rollers that are adjustable from 0.00 to 0.70 inch. It has a lexan hopper that holds 11 lbs. of grain / pictures are in my Gallery Just click on the link on left of screen. Tell me what you think?
Very cool... I bet you could sell that mill.
That's very nice. What are the set-screws for on the ends of the rollers?
This place really went to hell. Follow the OF standard stout. Bye.
The set screws on the rollers are to lock in the 1/2 inch pins on each end. I need to hold them secure when I knurled the rollers.
Nice job. You could probably motorize that real easy. Where did you get the rollersT What was the total cost to you and time spent?
"Life is too short to drink cheap beer."
I made the rollers out of 2 inch aluminum then they were hard annodized coated.WE had most of the Aluminum in the shop so all I had to buy was the Handle $6 The lexan $34, and the aluminim angle pieces for the corners$10. So all total about $50. not sure how much time it took exactly becauseI did it a little at a time 1/2 hour here 1/2 hour there.
What would you sell them for?
Sweet design, All it needs is a motor
It's a total showpiece, really nice.

A new global precipitation retrieval algorithm for the millimeter-wave Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit is presented that also retrieves Arctic precipitation rates over surface snow and ice. This algorithm improves upon its predecessor by excluding some surface-sensitive channels and by reducing the number of principal components (PCs) used to represent those that remain. The training sets were also modified to better represent cold regions. The algorithm still incorporates conversion of brightness temperatures to nadir, spatial filtering to better detect pixels scattering near 54 GHz, PC filtering of surface effects, and use of separate neural networks trained with the fifth-generation National Center for Atmospheric Research/Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5) for land and sea, where warm and cold ocean are now treated differently. The validity of the snowfall detections is supported by nearly coincident CloudSat radar observations, and the physics of the model is largely validated by the reasonable agreement in annual precipitation obtained for 231 globally distributed rain gauges, including many at latitudes where snowfall dominates. Observed annual global precipitation statistics are also presented to permit comparisons with other algorithms and sensors.

That blue glow from our Wiis can only mean one thing -- time for an update!
This wasn't just any old update, though. After months of coveting the service, the Nintendo Channel (known in Japan as Everybody's Nintendo Channel) is finally available for download via the Wii Shop Channel. The download is free, but will take up a few blocks, so make sure you have enough space. You'll also need to have updated your Wii since March 20th in order to get it, according to Nintendo.
We're pretty pleased with what the channel has to offer so far. There's already around forty videos available for your viewing pleasure. Most of them are just trailers for upcoming Nintendo games, but there's also a nice little Miyamoto interview.
Aside from watching videos, make sure to click on the "Find Titles for You" tab. Here, you can check out the newest titles for Nintendo consoles, and also download demos for DS games.
These are just our initial impressions from browsing around the channel, so if you notice any other neat features, be sure to let us know in the comments! Nintendo also posted a video of the various things you can do with the channel, which you can check out here.
