Do you eat like a pig but stay skinny?
- Lewes17266 Aug 24, 2009 05:17 PM
Do you pig out yet manage not to gain weight? How? Do you even know? Have you ever worried about your weight? Do you ever think about fat and calories?
Funny, people rag me about this constantly. They always have. I have an insatiable appetite and think about food all the time. I don't fill up quickly, but I am conscious of portions and I don't overeat. My weight fluxuates maybe 5 lbs. Right now I'm about 5 lbs heavier than I would like to be. But I don't fret over it. People are always saying "how to you eat so much and stay so thin?" I think it's a combination of things. Good DNA, primarily. I'm also type 1 diabetic so I eat well and regularly. I love veggies, whole grains and don't eat much sweets or simple carbs. I don't reallly worry about fat and calories - just carbs.

"I will KNOW there IS a god and she loves me...!"
Love that, Caroline!
re: lynnlato
Thanks, but I consider myself living proof that God is a misogynist. If God REALLY loved women, we would have to eat to stay slim, and chocolate would be the world's most effective diet food. But since things are the way they are, can there be any doubt?
re: Caroline1
This kind of thinking is problematic, but it is hardly your fault. Why do we consider skinny good? It is because we live in a patriarchy and a capitalist society. When women are pressured to reject their natural forms by shrinking their bodies, they become less strong and less powerful. Their enery is focused away from the change they can affect in the world and toward self-hatred. That pressure is manifest through all forms of media constantly and has proliferated the thinking of most every being in western culture.Why would you say that if God "really loved women" he'd keep us thin? Love is acceptance, not rejection. Be kind to yourself. It could change the world.

you can't blame men/patriarchy for this. before twiggy men were quite content w/ marilyn monroe and jane russel
I definitely eat what I want, when I want, in the quantity I want. That being said, I havent always been 6'2" and 170lb that I am now. Through hard work, dedication and eating right, I managed to drop 75lbs about 10 years ago and keep it off. Resistance training, running and eating healthier allowed me to get to where I am and as a side affect rev'd up my metabolism to the point where I now, by my best guess, eat about 3500-3750 cal. a day. I still work out daily(either running or weight lifting), but make lots of time to enjoy my food exploring/eating hobby.
That being said, I find it highly dismissive and snarky when someone says something to the effect of, " oh, you are so lucky to be born with such a fast metabolism!". They would not have said that if they knew me when I weighed 245lb! furthermore, you arent saddled with a particularly slow or fast metabolism....you have control over it to a large extent!
Sorry for the Thread Hijacking rant!:-D
re: nkeane
I'll support your rant. More than once people have said to me "how do you eat like that and yet stay thin?" or yes, more snarkily, "boy, you're lucky to have you metabolism." (I'm 5'4" and 125lbs with a good amount of muscle.) what people don't realize is that they're seeing me out at restaurants or parties or other social occasions where yes, I pretty much eat and drink what I want. What they don't see is me dragging myself to the gym 5-6 mornings a week, or what I eat when I'm making myself a "non-event" meal, which is a lot of egg whites, plain grilled meat, fruit, steamed or grilled vegetables, salads with lowfat dressing, cottage cheese, a few nuts . . . pretty darned exciting. So if I'm thin it's due mainly to discipline, not winning the random metabolic rate lottery.
re: cookie monster
i'm also same height and weight, and exercise 5 days a week. not on a diet but i eat well and sensibly. after returning from a holiday i can't wait to work off the extra kilos and everyone says 'what extra kilos?!'. lol...
yes, discipline and my exercise love do help loads. i still fit into my clothes from 20 years ago....
Yeah, I do have to watch what I eat, though fortunately I can keep my calorie count relatively high and still maintain my weight; that's due to my activity levels. But 25 years ago I weighed 250 lbs. Today I weigh about 145 lbs. I've gotten back up to 165 but never even remotely approaching two-five-oh. And given how cruel people are to the obese, I don't ever want to go back there. So, yes, I can eat a lot but I can't totally pig out (well, a day or two here and there is okay).
I watch carbs too, but only to make sure that I eat plenty of them before a long run (there's a noticeable difference in my endurance if I run the day after meals heavy in protein and/or fat). I understand that is not true of everybody but it is for me.
People also bug me abotu this a lot as well. I can manage to pack away an incredible amount of food when I'm out for dinner and remain "underweight" and skinny. My bf weighs probably around 170 lb (I weigh about 110 lb) and when we go out for dinner/lunch, I ALWAYS eat my entire meal, PLUS about 1/2- 1/3 of his meal that he is "too full" to eat. Its a bit embarassing, yes. And I'm getting incredibly tired of servers looking at me and saying "wow, I'm impressed, where do you put it?!" I know they're being funny, but, I dont like it really. Despite the fact that these big meals dont seem to make a huge difference in my weight (I attribute this to my daily exercise regime and the fact that I eat a tonne of fruit, veg and high fiber grains the rest of the time ), it still sometimes makes me feel a bit guilty.
I spent most of my life incredibly skinny - too skinny. I've been 5' 6-1/2" since I was 12 years old, and I remember that at the beginning of my senior year in HS I weighed 98 pounds. I was never ill, always loved food, but could just never eat very much at one time plus I have always been very high energy without being hyper - happier doing than sitting sort of thing. Then senior year my appetite kicked in and I started eating everything in site. My weight "skyrocketed" to 110. I weighed between 110-115 well into my 30's, and yes I ate and drank pretty much whatever I wanted throughout that time while also having a desk job. I truly was one of those people everyone hated for that reason. My husband at the time was the exact same way.
Then over the next 10 or so years as age caught up to me, I slowly crept up to about 130 and was still there at age 45. At the same time though, there was a whole lot of stress in my life that I think kept a lot of it off. About that time I started weight lifting and actually put on about 10 pounds of muscle mass, mostly in my upper body and for the first time in my life lost my tendency toward pear-shapedness. That was three years ago at age 47, and I was probably in the best shape of my life. Unfortunately, I was also still very unhappy due to some things going on in my personal life.
Then I met my current husband and gained 20 pounds in two years. Thankfully I have leveled off at 160 for over a year. My girlfriends and I refer to it as achieving our "happy weight". I still work out and am probably even healthier due to a happy and non-stressful life style. Having said that, I would love to lose 10 pounds, and having recently gone through menopause I have a feeling my upcoming physical/blood work will provide me with the motivation to do so. I have lots of family history of diabetes/HBP/cholesterol issues cropping up at this stage in life.
re: cycloneillini
I'm in my late 20's and seem to be around the spot you were (5'4/115). I eat what I want when I want, but I seem unable to eat much at one sitting. I've had a few worried comments, but what can I say? I'll not stuff myself to discomfort, but I will eat every five minutes if given the chance lol. My mom and grandma were the same way, heck my mom doesn't even use milk on her cereal.... she uses half & half. So it would seem that I make up for in calorie density what I can't do in quantity.
Don't get me wrong, I do try to eat healthily, just not in a low-fat or low-cal sort of way. I'll have my 7 grain toast, but real butter is going on it (or several servings worth of peanutbutter).
oh, forgot to answer the "how": well, first you have to get a dna sample from a humming bird, then somehow splice it into yourself......
I'm like Bridget Jones and am a little bit fat. In a perfect world I'd lose 15 pounds but am not willing to do what it takes to get there.
When I was younger, yes. Lord knows hanging out w/friends usually meant cleaning out a frig or pantry and then riding bikes for hours. I never sat down.
Now, 4 kids later & a more "mature" approach I eat/workout/de-stress every day. I'm small framed, (& short) so I need to swim/bike/run/cardio and still enjoy eating almost everything. 5 lbs on my frame shows in "obvious places" but I don't count calories or weigh myself. I just make better choices now.
Just about everyone I know frets about their weight. Stress WILL put weigh on you, so it's better to relax.
I was like that until I was about 40 - I could eat anything and stayed skinny as a rail. Now, in my 50s, I need to (and do) hit the gym regularly so that I can continue to indulge myself - even though my capacity is no longer what it was.
A word of warning - if you're an ectomorphic (naturally thin-boned) male like me and DO start gaining weight, it's likely to be entirely around your belly and before you know it you look like you're seven months pregnant (yes, I speak from experience). It's not pretty. And then you have two choices: start dieting (never going to happen!) or start working out.
Like HillJ, used to eat like a grizzly bear, had a hard time keeping weight on. 2 foot long subs at lunch, and I was still looking for a snack by 5 or 6 pm. Then the old metabolism changed a couple of years ago, so I always think about fat and more exercise, portion size, etc. Just have to eat less and move more these days (a simple concept lotsa folks ignore)
i have the worst curse. i weigh 190. my wife weighs 105. yet, she can eat as much, if not more than me, and i'm the one who has to work out to maintain status quo. to make it worse, my job now keeps me more sedentary. back in teh day, i worked out and my metabolism was crazy efficient. so, i've also had to cut back what i eat just to maintain. all the while watching wifey pile drive noodles, dumplings, pizza, etc.
re: FattyDumplin
I feel a bit more at ease about my boyfriend and my experience now that I have read your post. I thought it was completely abnormal and miraculous that I could eat more than my boyfriend and yet weigh only 2/3 of his weight. Guess everyone is different.
re: hungryabbey
yeah, not really fair. i tell me wife that i can't keep up with her eating. she just laughs and slurps more noodles.
I was like this until I hit 28 or so. Then I started noticing that I couldn't binge the way I used to and burn it all off, plus my previously iron stomach wasn't so iron anymore. So, now I'm more careful about portion size as well as about eating too much grease and fat in one sitting that can make me slightly naseous. I'm a bit less than 10 lbs over my college weight--though I still get those anorexic jokes thrown my way--and certainly my metabolism still seems to be higher than the norm, but it's definitely slower than it was back in the day.
re: PegS
Yup - I was Mr. Hollow-leg when I was a kid, and all through my twenties; ate like crazy and never gained a lick, but if I skipped a meal (something I tried very hard not to do) I could drop five pounds just like that. Then I found my waist expanding stealthily: at 27 it was 27, at 28 it was 28, at 29 it was 29... and then, one day when I was around 32, I was running down the stairs and felt something I'd never felt before. It was my CHEST bouncing! A precursor of things to come...
I might if I had never dieted. My first "diet" was really an orthorexic one (vegan - which was not physically or mentally healthy for me) when I was still in my teens and very athletic. That began the damage to my health that resulted in the yo-yo weight-loss diet cycle. Now I am heavy and healthy, having made a conscious decision to eat when I am hungry, eat what sounds good, and stop when I am full. I exercise when/because I want to. I am still overcoming the mental hangups associated with the opposites of my food and exercise decisions. (I recently discovered that I was feeling awful having not exercised at all for a while.) I find when I eat this way I can not eat much at one sitting and also do not eat terribly often in a day. I have become even more "chowish" because I refuse to squander my scant appetite on something I will probably not enjoy. My weight has been stable for months. I am facing the very real possibility that I have permanently damaged my body and might not ever return to my more natural weight. At any rate, I dieted for about 10 years (cumulative of the "on" periods for the course of my lifetime) and I estimate it will take at *least* that long to undo the diets.
Like many others, I unfortunately have an entirely sedentary job.
A few years ago I realized I needed to start losing some weight, but was never very successful, always losing a few pounds (maybe up to 10) before eventually gaining them right back. I didn't think I was fat, per se, just a tiny bit overweight. And then my wife and I got back from a beach vacation, and upon looking at the photos I realized I was a full-blown fatty.
Fast forward two years, and I've knocked off 50 lbs (from 210 to 160), through nothing more than exercise and portion control. Many people are amazed when they find out I lost so much weight, and then baffled when I tell them there was no particular diet ... just a lifestyle change.
And then there are those new friends & family who only know me at this size, and they make comments similar to those others of you receive like "Where do you put it!", or "You are so lucky to have such a good metabolism". Again, as with others of you, they are only seeing me when we're out at a restaurant, or eating a meal with friends in the home -- times where I allow myself the freedom to eat what I want, in amounts that I want. They don't see the "regular" meals we eat at home, that are much more focused and strict in terms of portion size.
One thing I never did was focus on fat content or calories ... only portion size and my waistline.
re: julesrules
i lost 4 lbs over the last 3 weeks , simply by forcing myself to be aware of how much i ate.
re: thew
That's awesome!
It's funny how portions have grown so much larger than they were last century (especially the earlier part). I feel like I even read on here how plates, serving platters, etc are larger now than they were previously.
Heck, half the time my wife and I eat dinner on our salad plates ... just a little trick I learned that allows me to get a full plate of food without eating far too much.
re: a213b
i use one of those apps (though not fanatically) on my phone where i record whatever i eat. I started doing it just because i had no clue how many calories a day i actually ate. but an unforseen instant side effect was that i cut out a lot of side snacking, just because entering it each time made me aware how much there was.
as to your "trick" my best friend is a nutritionist. when he asks patients how much they eat, they often answer "just one plate" his response is always "get smaller plates"
re: thew
LOL, I love that response!
And I did something similar (this was before the iPhone and all of its apps), wherein I created an Excel document that served as equal parts:
Food diary - I didn't count calories, just wrote down everything I consumed each day, food or drink
Exercise Diary - Again, I just wrote how long and what I did each day
Weight/Measurement Diary - I did one weigh-in a week, Sunday morning when I woke up, and I also used a seamstress tape measure to measure my waist.
Basically I made my own, super complicated app, but I noticed that I only needed to use it for the first few months before the behavioral patterns had been established/learned and I no longer needed it.
BTW, I'm still chuckling over that nutritionist friend of yours's response.
re: julesrules
"I think portion size is hugely important to weight control without deprivation. One chowish way I motivate myself to reduce portion sizes - "If I save half this dinner tonight, I will have a delicious lunch tomorrow!". It's like extending the life of good food."......julesrules
I firmly believe that portion control and the feelings of deprivation that it may lead to is the single greatest contributor to weight loss failure. If you are someone who enjoys quantity, there is no reason to change that. What you do need to change is what you eat. Check out a calorie chart. It's damned difficult to find a high calorie vegetable! Even a potato is relatively low cal UNTIL you bake it and slather it with butter, sour cream, bacon, shredded cheese, or mash them with butter and milk or cream. The things you do absolutely have to "portion control" are proteins such as meats, poultry, seafood and cheese. They can pack on the pounds! As for bread, shop by reading the calorie content. I have a local market that makes fantastic cracked wheat bread that has great texture and flavor, but no fat content and only 50 calories per slice.
You DO have to think about what you eat, but you don't have to go around semi-hungry all of the time. Spend some time browsing calorie charts. Most people find huge shocks and huge happy surprises. Good luck.
re: Caroline1
Calories you say? Never heard of them, will have to look into this!
Don't worry, I don't go around semi-hungry. And I don't restrict quantities of vegetables or whole grains. I am talking about sitting down to a rich meal of short ribs and mashed potatoes (yes with butter) and knowing that I will be happy & full eating a small portion and having some leftovers for my next meal.
I've lived by the calorie charts before; never again. They come in handy once in a while to remind me that a giant Blizzard or Starbucks frappe is not worth it compared to a small serving of my homemade ice cream.
re: Caroline1
I have to co-sign what jules wrote ... I've never felt deprived, as just as s/he recommended, I don't really restrict myself when it comes to fruit and vegetables.
I will say that I do, out of curiosity, take a look at calories and nutritional data where provided (though fairly rarely).
re: Karl S
Definitely. My i89 y.o. MIL is a scrawny little bird. My husband (age 65) can wear the same pants he wore in 1986 when we met. His daughters are in their early 30s and seem to have his genes; I'm the wicked stepmother but their "real" mom is short and a bit rounder than she might wish (hope she's not reading this cause I really like her!) My husband eats everything in sight and I envy him enormously. I do NOT have the skinny gene :(
re: Karl S
you got that right!
I could eat all that I wanted up until I turned 30. Then I gained 30 pounds in ten months! I've never taken it all off.
That used to be the case, but not as much any more as I recover from mercury and arsenic toxicity and my body is better able to use nutrients properly. I don't recommend metal toxicity. I'm 5'6" and weighed 82 lbs at the worst of it, my natural weight is about 120 lbs. which is about where I've been for a while.
I'm vegan (18 yrs) and gluten-free (nearly as long) and currently temporarily (till the end of Oct) greens-free (low vit K diet) for health reasons. I gained some when I lived in Paraguay as an exchange student back in 1980-81, but lost what I had gained before returning to the states. I don't count calories or limit plant-based fats but do avoid empty calories and try to get the best nutrients for my $.
We do yoga-type stretches every morning, use stairs instead of elevators when practical, and walk many errands. I should get back to the Boflex this fall.
re: lgss
Hear, hear. My secret is Crohn's Disease... I used to be fairly chunky (6', 225 lbs) and had a difficult time losing weight. Then, suddenly, I got sick and lost 75 lbs in less than six months.
Now I can't get the scale to ever read higher than 175 no matter what I do, which is not a bad thing at all. There are days where I have an obligation to eat half a pound of bacon and a stack of pancakes swimming in butter (which don't seem to affect my cholesterol adversely at all) so that I don't lose any more weight. Some people are jealous, but the pain and humiliation that Crohn's causes are not worth it at all.
re: ericalloyd
You sound like my younger sister. She's 39 and about your height/weight. Unfortunately she has been anorexic since high school after starting out as a chubby kid. She eats whatever food she wants, but only very small portions of everything, and does an hour of cardio six days a week. She obsesses about everything she puts in her mouth and constantly nags at her husband and son (15 yrs old) about every single thing they eat. Horrible way to live in my opinion. I'll take my 5'7" and 160 pounds any day.
re: cycloneillini
My CH heart can't get over people like this cyclone! What joy do they get from eating when every morsel is treated like regret. I can't imagine looking at anything, let alone yummy, delicious food, that way. Very sad.
re: cycloneillini
:) now you know what the "J" in HillJ stands for !
re: ericalloyd
wow, i'm so sorry. i'm 5'7" and last time I was 118 I looked emaciated.
Typically, you have a relatively fast metabolism the younger you are. As a kid, you could eat junk all day long and look only slightly pudgy (i am generalizing here). As you age, metabolism slows...usually, you have more "refined" tastes and more information about basic nutrition, so you balance the slow down by eating better. if you keep up your pizza eating, beer guzzling young adult days well into your 30's (and you dont have an unusually fast metabolism), then mr (or mrs) flat tire appears. you dont build as much muscle as before, you wear down easier after a few restless nights...your body simply slows down. to eat like a pig the older you get, you have to hit the gym even more (play hard, work hard) and eat very healthy on down days. anyone here know of the tv show man v food? the host explains that on his non challenge days, he hits the gym hard and has a strict diet.
i personally prefer not to have that high and low diet type of routine. i am not an athlete and dont care to exercise for the sake of redeeming myself after a weekend of over eating. i want to exercise because i like it and dont want the chant "exercise harder because you ate that extra slice of pizza the other night" in the back of my mind. it simply takes away the fun and sincere motivation of whatever physical activity i am partaking in at the moment. at the same time, i will forego a food fest with friends to have the calories evenly distributed over the course of a week.
I eat like a bird and drink like a fish so I'm calorically about average. I exercise alot to work up my appetite (20-30 miles of biking a day). Heavy food sits really...heavy on me, so I don't eat much red meat or starch - I love the flavors but have a hard time digesting them, so I mostly stick to vegetables, seafood, and fats.
My spectrum ranges from 188 lbs at 16 years old and 123 lbs at 23 years old (I'm a 6'1'" male). Currently 140 and change at 26.
I wonder about the girth of foodies, as some I meet are very robust and some I meet are very slender. It's not a good indicator of health or fitness, but what's everyone's BMI? I'm 18.6. You can find easy calculators via google.
re: blkery
"I eat like a bird". Idiomatically (sparingly, I assume, in your case based upon your height and weight or literally (10 times one's weight)?
"Do you pig out yet manage not to gain weight?" - No.
"Have you ever worried about your weight?" - No, but I sometimes worry about having to keep buying larger trousers
"Do you ever think about fat and calories?" - From time to time - but then I think about all aspects of food.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing hospitalized
Updated On: Mar 23 2012 04:29:40 PM EDT
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing will remain hospitalized Friday, but wasn't facing anything serious.
What happened?
Bing press secretary Naomi Patton says Bing had a dental appointment Thursday morning and "continued to experience some discomfort."
Patton says in an email that Bing went to Henry Ford Hospital on Thursday afternoon "and was subsequently admitted for observation and as a precautionary measure."
On Friday, Patton said Bing had been diagnosed with an inflammation of the intestine, a non-life-threatening condition.
"He continues to rest comfortably, and a decision will be made later today regarding his release," Patton said.
Later in the afternoon, in a news released, Chief of Staff Kirk Lewis said the mayor would remain in the hospital for further observation.
"I spoke with Mayor Bing late this afternoon. He indicated he would remain in the hospital for further investigation," Lewis said. "He continues to be upbeat and rests comfortably."
Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh expressed his concern for the mayor.
"I am aware of the situation and wish the mayor a speedy recovery," said Pugh.
About the mayor
The 68-year-old mayor is a former businessman and retired NBA player who spent most of his career with the Detroit Pistons.

By MIKE SCHMIDT
For The Associated Press
With all due respect to the great years by my friends George, Wade and Brooks, the greatest year ever by a third baseman will very soon be owned by Alex Rodriguez.
He'll eclipse my year in 1980 when we won the World Series, Brett's MVP and near-.400 year, and you can pick any one of several great years by Boggs and Robinson.
My regular season of 48 home runs and 122 RBIs looks rather minuscule in comparison, but project that into today's environment and it would be similar.
A-Rod winning a unanimous MVP is his next hurdle, and that should be no problem. The challenge ahead is his well-documented nemesis, as it was for me: the postseason.
In my case, the 1980 NL East race wasn't decided until the final series in Montreal. There was no wild-card fallback - you either were the best in the division or you went home.
For me, that was a career-defining series, the series that erased the ghosts of postseason past. You see, you can take all the regular season game-ending home runs, Gold Gloves and MVP awards, and they mean very little compared to success in the postseason.
For our Phillies, Montreal might as well have been the postseason. We had to win two of three at Olympic Stadium to win the division against Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Steve Rogers and company.
Long story short, with the pressure on, I went 6-for-11 with home runs that won the first two games. Of course, there was Tug McGraw closing each game, great performances by our starters, and Pete Rose, Larry Bowa, Bull, Boonie, Bake, Manny Trillo, Garry Maddox and others.
I mention my stats not to brag, but to make the point that those two games erased the ghosts of my past and established my ability to come through in the clutch. We failed in 1976, '77 and '78, and in each case I stunk it up as a hitter.
I carried that burden of postseason flops with me each year. It's the same burden A-Rod should erase this fall.
Get in enough postseason games and you'll eventually become comfortable. Ask Barry Bonds, who couldn't buy a hit in the postseason. Before he broke loose in 2002, Bonds was 19-for-97 (.196) with one home run and six RBIs in the playoffs.
There are always postseason flops, but when you're the star of the show, when the focus is you, people hold you to a higher standard. It's not enough to lead the team to the post season, it's can you finish the job? It's what you get paid the big bucks for! A-Rod, yes, super large bucks!
The last two weeks of a great season, in the fans' eyes, can define your year, maybe your career.
By the way, in 1980, this big year I'm referring to, I must mention I took a little snooze in the NL championship series. Del Unser, Trillo (1980 NLCS MVP) and the rest of the boys conquered Houston in the greatest playoff series ever, opening the door for my final hurdle, the 1980 Series MVP.
Remember 1977, the year Reggie hit three home runs in a World Series game against L.A. But Mr. October was benched in the deciding Game 5 of the ALCS in Kansas City.
In 1983, after hitting over .400 in the NLCS, I went 1-for-20 in the Series and my counterpart, Eddie Murray of the Orioles, hung right with me. Well, he did hit a couple bombs in the final game, but we both stunk the first four games.
There was no TV over-analysis of every second of the games back then. The hitting struggles of individuals weren't exposed as much as today.
We players knew who was struggling, especially if it was us, but our lowlights weren't on 50 different stations all day long, with dozens of former experts explaining the how and why of it.
``He's pulling his front shoulder out,'' or ``he's not as aggressive as he was during the season,'' or my favorite, ``he's trying to do too much''. All will be standard lines this fall. Oh yes, also include ``nice piece of hitting'' as standard.
Here's the real story on postseason pressure'' Most major league players treat every at bat, every pitch and every game like nothing else matters at that moment.
Winning the battle of who you're facing, the pitcher-hitter battle, is the ultimate in sports. It's our competitive nature, it's part of why we are in the highest league.
For some of us, though - and I include A-Rod and myself in this group - we sense and apply a greater importance to our role in the big games, in the more important series, in the postseason.
It would be better for us if we didn't, if we could treat them like games in April. The ol' ``big bucks'' theory applies again. When I played, I was the highest paid, I did feel the need to lead. Same with A-Rod today.
The problem comes when this sense of increased pressure affects your metabolism and your thinking process, and that increases your anxiety level. For someone like A-Rod, an intelligent hitter with a strong sense of ``feel,'' a small flaw in the stroke can become a big problem when the pressure is on.
Combine that with opposing pitchers grinding on every pitch to him, a couple key hard-hit outs, and announcers and fans waiting for him to give them a slight opening for criticism. Boom, 0-for-12!
That's how it happens - and it will to somebody this fall.
Like Tiger in golf, everyone is gunning for A-Rod. And he, like Tiger, knows it.
The reason we are infatuated with Tiger is that he, time and again, faces down immense pressure. We'd all love to know what's inside his head when he faces a putt to win the U.S. Open. We'd all love to know if he has a mantra, a good-luck charm, just what it is that allows him to flow when the situation exudes with tension.
This is what draws us to the great ones. They find the ability to laugh internally at pressure. Pete Rose was drawn to pressure.
In 1980, in the middle of an eighth-inning comeback against Nolan Ryan in the decisive Game 5 of the NLCS, Pete yelled at Ryan, ``you ain't getting me out, either.''
I heard it, I was there and Pete worked a walk. No way on God's green earth would I have done that. Yelling at the pitcher is just not done. Imagine doubling, tripling the pressure of that moment. The great ones want more pressure for some reason. The great ones have no fear of failing.
Much of my career I feared failure. I believe A-Rod did, too.
I've studied this because I wanted to be Rose or Derek Jeter, that kind of player. We all do.
I concluded that an athletes that was extremely gifted physically was better off with a blase or indifferent attitude concerning the public perception of him. Rose? Reggie? Gary Sheffield? Manny Ramirez? There are many more.
It helps to place little, if any, credence on what people think of you or what writers or the media are writing about you. To be impervious to pressure, you either have to be borderline ignorant, or totally secure with yourself as a person. You must have a plan of attack to combat the demons of pressure.
Alex Rodriguez wants to be liked. He cares about his image, the public's perception of him, and he wants to add adjectives like ``clutch'' and ``winner'' to his resume.
He wants to be perceived in the same way as Jeter, but he knows he has to earn it. You can't fault him for that. However, the correct approach is to let it evolve, let it come to you.
Derek Jeter didn't plan or force his quest for Mr. October status. He worked efficiently on each at bat, each ground ball, and made his presence known by doing the small things.
Keeping your focus on the little things allows the big ones to find you. This is great advice for all postseason combatants - especially one named A-Rod, who has one final hurdle.

The "Sing Along" of Holiday Favorites was Great and a lot of fun. It is a family affair and everyone had a wonderful time. Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves.
About the Ticket Supplier: Lake Union Civic OrchestraLUCO is a largely volunteer-run, Seattle-based community orchestra distinguished by superb musicianship, low ticket prices, friendly atmosphere, central location of concerts, and exciting, innovative programming.
Local music critic Christopher DiLaurenti wrote, "LUCO's concerts have a homey feel missing from most classical music gigs; before the show, people laugh and chat casually as if at home. Yet when the music begins, the audience's attention becomes steadfast and quieter than most other orchestral performances I attend." (The Stranger, January, 2008.)

So far as I know, no DPRK media even mentioned Eric Schmidt by name!
What is the big deal? Here we have the Ny times, Washington Post, CBS, CNN and most all media doing the same thing and under the new establishment it will get worse.
So, is WSJ's report fair and balanced?
Definitely not! Everything is looked from the
perspective of the Wall Street and the establishment.
For example, why do US media, including this report, continue
to depict the recent satellite launch of North Korea as "missile test"?
Because the US media just follow Uncle Sam's chracterization of
the launch without checking the facts….
Before criticizing North Korea's media report,
check whether US media report is any differrent!
I have to agree with Jem's view.
It's ridiculous to compare American media companies to the DPRK's propaganda machine. There is ample evidence from people across the world depicting the horrors that go on in that nation.
WSJ may have a bias, but it's hardly of note compared to the DPRK's well documented history of lies and distortion of epic magnitude.
This last week BBC's Lucy Williamson reported about SK's male make-up market.
Surprisingly, not a word on the importance of pale & fare skin (whitening pills & creams, etc.
The bottom line is; if you are an ally of the Anglo's, they actually make you look civilized (in this case SK).
If you are not an ally, then comes the axis of evil business (as in the case of N Korea…
But, compared to the BBC, WSJ is certainly doing a better job with their Korea reporting…
Hail North Korea ! Down with America !
The Only country's threatening a war with another country would be America and Israel ? Pray hard that America never recovers from this recession , the fate on the entire world depends upon it .
The question every North Korean is asking…"what is a google?"
Hiding from the world is proof enough that the North Korean and Iranian regimes cannot withstand scrutiny even from their own people — less they find out that their regimes have completely stifled economic development.
Yet North Korea and Iran could just as easily have excelled economically as well as technologically — for the greater good of their citizens.
As things stand now, Iran has abandoned all paths to the country's Persian greatness, and daily North Korea has to face the glaring economic disparities with its sister state.
Exactly how long will it take for these regimes to realize that in today's world a country's might is measured in economic terms?
Indeed, even if the North Korean and Iranian regimes on their own somehow managed to amass Russia's military might, neither would be further ahead economically.
So what's the point in trying?

Samsung launches the Galaxy Alphaby Andrei Frumusanu on August 13, 2014 4:51 AM EST
- Posted in
- Smartphones
- Samsung
- Galaxy Alpha
- Mobile
Samsung today announces the new Galaxy Alpha, a mid-range "premium" built device that creates a new range in Samsung's lineup. The Alpha totes a 4.7" 1280x720 AMOLED screen, coming with either a yet unnanounced Exynos 5430 SoC with 4 A15 cores running at 1.8GHz and 4 A7 cores running at 1.3GHz and a Mali T628MP6 GPU for the international market, or with a Snapdragon 801 SoC for select markets such as the US. Both versions come with 2GB of memory on board.
A new 12MP rear sensor and a 2.1MP front camera can be found.
The device comes in a new aluminium frame, marking this as a change in build material from Samsung's usual plastic. The phone is extremely thin at only 6.7mm and weighing a lightweight 115g. The footprint of 132.4 x 65.5mm matches the 4.7" screen format of the phone. The back cover is removable and sports a 1860mAh replaceable battery. Strangely, Samsung omitted a microSD card slot in this device which comes at a standard 32GB of internal storage space. We find the same fingerprint and heatbeat sensor as on the S5, however it lacks the waterproofing of the former. It's shipping with Android 4.4.4 KitKat version with the same TouchWiz iteration as the S5.
More interestingly the international version of the device should sport LTE-A category 6 with help of an Intel XMM7260 modem. This would be the first device announced with Intel's new LTE modem and mark a break from Qualcomm's dominance in the sector.
The Alpha is an intriguing device that apparently to wants to fill in a gap in Samsung's lineup which has seen device size go up with each iteration of the S-series. The 720p screen, its slimness and design seems to target directly the iPhone instead of other high-end Android handsets, pricing should also end up in the higher end.

uhuznaa - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkA 1860mAh battery isn't really much (this is about the same as the 1800mAh battery of the Galaxy S2 with its 4.3" 480×800 display).
Looks nice though. If this will be enough to justify high-end prices without high-end features (sensors, fingerprint sensor, higher resolution)? Certainly a nice alternative to phones like the Moto G... Reply
smorebuds - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkExcept that it'll likely be twice the price as the LTE Moto G. Reply
maroon1 - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkExcept that Moto G comes out with very weak CPU/GPU snadragon 400, only 1GB ram, only 8GB to 16GB storage, worse camera, and it lacks many other features that Alpha have
The two should not be compared Reply
Alexvrb - Saturday, August 16, 2014 - linkYeah Moto G definitely doesn't compete with this directly. I'd also be willing to bet that the Alpha has a better looking display in practice, especially in bright light. PPI isn't everything. That doesn't make the Moto G a bad phone, but this is definitely a more upscale mid-sized phone. Which is good because a lot of the "mini" variants of phones really get watered down hardware. I know a few people that will not buy anything 5"+ but they still want a fast device.
I'm not so thrilled about the lack of an SD card slot but at least 32GB is standard. Reply
jjj - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThe battery seems rather small and the price is likely to be ridiculous given the S5 Mini pricing.
As for this
" Intel's new LTE modem and mark a break from Qualcomm's dominance in the sector."
Might be but it doesn't mean much. The real threat to Qualcomm is Mediatek starting to sell LTE and most Mediatek based phones end up with no price premium for LTE. So Qualcomm is likely to get some margins erosion and for Intel it will be hard to get wins when the 2 big names fight for share.
PS: since someone is bound to go crazy because i've called Mediatek a big name, they are likely to ship some 350 million smartphone SoCs this year, almost 30% of the market and they are about to reach 2 billions revenue per quarter so more than most semi companies. Next year if you exclude RAM and NAND makers (Samsung , Micron, Hynix ,Toshiba) they are likely to get into top 5 with just Intel, Qualcomm and TI ahead of them. Reply
Andrei Frumusanu - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWe have yet to see MediaTek have any big design wins with the big OEMs and have any real penetration in the western market, Intel is much better positioned at the moment to win market share from Qualcomm in that regard considering Samsung is their biggest costumer.

Why ageing is all in the mindfulness
Margaret Jennings, Irish Examiner: Meditation and 'knowing ourselves in a deeper way' can reduce our anxieties and fears about getting old, and increase our acceptance.
IN 1981, Timothy Sweeney returned from a long meditation retreat and told his mother, with whom he had a "very difficult" relationship, that he would have to discontinue it, if she didn't change.
His mother was 65 and had, he says, a "lot of unfinished business, emotional baggage", and had pain from spinal surgery.
Sweeney, then 27, and his mother were living in California. She decided to do a ten-day meditation retreat with Jack Kornfield.

Meditation, memory loss, Alzheimer's and aging
Gordon Richman, Washington Times: Alzheimer's is devastating and terrifying. Our grandparents are fighting it now, our parents preparing to fight it, and we know that we're next. A recent bittersweet NPR piece explained that in order for most currently-conceived Alzheimer's drugs to work effectively, patients would have to start treatment early– up to 20 years early.
Most of us, as much as we fear Alzheimer's, don't want to take a cocktail of drugs for something that may or may not happen in 20 years. Although there are brilliant scientists and physicians working on helping people with Alzheimer's (and those who might suffer from it in …

Amanda Enayati, CNN: Anyone who sees meditation as a hippy-dippy endeavor has found his or her view increasingly challenged by science in recent years.
Meditation and other contemplative practices are continuing to claim their place at the table of mainstream medicine.
This is true for a slew of reasons: chief among them, the recognition that hordes of us are stressed out, that stress wreaks havoc upon our bodies and that the practice of meditation has significant and measurable stress-reduction properties.

Mindfulness meditation reduces loneliness in older adults
For older adults, loneliness is a major risk factor for health problems — such as cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's — and death. Attempts to diminish loneliness with social networking programs like creating community centers to encourage new relationships have not been effective.
However, a new study led by Carnegie Mellon University's J. David Creswell offers the first evidence that mindfulness meditation reduces loneliness in older adults. Published in "Brain, Behavior & Immunity," the researchers also found that mindfulness meditation — a practice that dates back 2,500 years to Buddha that focuses on creating an attentive awareness of the reality of the present moment — lowered inflammation levels; inflammation is thought to promote the development and progression of many diseases. These findings …

Aging as a Spiritual Practice, by Lewis Richmond
Here is a mindfulness practice from Lewis Richmond's book, Aging as a Spiritual Practice: Think of your life and its major events as a horizontal line. Your past stretches to the left of wherever you are on that line; your future stretches to the right. The events that stretch into the past are clear and unchangeable; the future is blurred: you don't really know what events will eventually occupy that line or how long the line will eventually be. Think of this as horizontal time.

This book is intensely personal. Was it difficult to write?
Yes, at times it was difficult to write, but I felt a great sense of purpose. just before Hob died, I promised him that I would write a book and his voice would be in it.

Jo Marchant: High in the mountains of northern Colorado, a 100-foot tall tower reaches up through the pinetops. Brightly coloured and strung with garlands, its ornate gold leaf glints in the sun. With a shape that symbolises a giant seated Buddha, this lofty stupa is intended to inspire those on the path to enlightenment.
Visitors here to the Shambhala Mountain Centre meditate in silence for up to 10 hours every day, emulating the lifestyle that monks have chosen for centuries in mountain refuges from India to Japan. But is it doing them any good? For two three-month retreats held in 2007, this haven for the eastern spiritual tradition opened its doors to western science. As attendees pondered the "four immeasurables" of …

Everything is aging, all the time. We age from our first breath
The emotional undertow of aging, I think, is a feeling of loss — Loss of youth, loss of dreams, loss of possibility.This quality is what used to be referred to as mid-life crisis. Other phrases have come into vogue now — such as the cheery "60 is the new 40″ — but the undertow of such homilies is still loss. Is there some way out of this sense of loss, some fresh point of view that assuages the pain of it? Actually, there is. Aging is not a matter of years — forty, sixty, eighty — but of life process. Everything is aging, all the time. We age from our first breath. The problem is not aging per se,

Over the years, the thing that's kept the Deftones from being cast as an also-ran in the nü-metal franchise has been Chino Moreno's subversive sensibilities. The vocalist's affinity for all things Smiths (Robert, and the outfit led by Morrissey), which is unmistakable in his breathy delivery, has helped the band transcend the one-dimensional aggro leanings of its contemporaries. So it's not surprising that Team Sleep, Moreno's long-anticipated side project, trades heavily in the same type of brooding, ethereal atmospherics he seems to favor. Team Sleep goes from swirling, Swervedriver-esque textures ("Your Skull Is Red") to glitchy electro accouterments à la Squarepusher ("Staring at the Queen") to haunting dirges like "Tomb of Liegia," which features the pipes of Helium's Mary Timony. Aside from the Hum-inflected "Blvd. Knights," which could just as easily have been a Deftones castoff, this drowsy affair should put many a girlfriend in a coma.

Ever heard of Vitamin K? It's not a well-known vitamin but it's recently been hailed in the media for its fantastic health benefits. It's increasingly being seen as an essential vitamin for strong, healthy teeth, bones and cardiovascular system. Vitamin K plays an important role by removing calcium deposits from the arteries to the bones, preventing calcification of the vessels and soft tissues.
Vitamin K2 appropriately labelled the 'forgotten vitamin,' is about to explode in popularity as researchers are uncovering more of its spectacular health benefits including the prevention of cardiovascular disease, varicose veins and Osteoporosis.

Gary's designed a new board (OK, this was the late 80s when humans actually designed entire boards). He's beaten his CAD package half to death with its own, unopened manual but all important requirements seem fulfilled. He's even crowbarred a 16-bit A-D converter into the corner. That'll be oiled lightning.
