Enzo Biochem 4Q Loss Widens On Costs
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ Biotechnology company Enzo Biochem Inc. said Wednesday its fiscal fourth-quarter loss widened on a rise in general and administrative costs.
For the three months ended July 31, the company lost $5.3 million, or 14 cents per share, compared with a loss of $3.3 million, or 9 cents per share, a year ago. Revenue rose 16 percent to $24.5 million from $21.2 million.
The company provides diagnostic services and makes research products and medical tools.
Enzo said higher selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to 48 percent of net operating revenues, compared with 42 percent a year ago. The higher expenses were due in part to costs from the Assay Designs acquisition, accounting reviews and a provision for uncollectable accounts receivable, the company said.For the full year, the company said it lost $23.6 million, or 63 cents per share, compared with a loss of $10.7 million, or 29 cents per share, a year prior. Revenue rose 15 percent to $89.6 million from $77.8 million. Enzo shares rose 31 cents to close at $7.66 in the regular session. After hours, when the earnings report was issued, the stock fell 41 cents, or 5.4 percent, to $7.25.

Unfortunately the need to "keep up confidence" keeps people from the information they need to understanding what is happening. There are tens of thousands of alt-a mortgages that are about to reset this quarter and next. Imagine what will happen if the government doesn't have some money to buy them up? And this is not the end.To think that we aren't all in this boat together is silly. I have tremendous respect for the men and women who are trying to help the arrogant, it's not my problem because I didn't know about it, American public.
Paulson, not to put to fine a point on it, is putrid. And his pal, the bad Mr. B, is a fine complement to his act. Together, they radiate all that is ill with the USA. And, of course, we must Hail to the Chief, the one who probably follows them, the one who can only repeat what others tell him to say.Tir Tairngire
This kind of crap is why I moved out of the USSA long ago. I say all the people involved in the failure should stew in their own juices.
Obama's intelligence and cautiousness may defeat him during the next few turbulent years further deepening the crisis. The Democrats might wish to change their nomination, if at all - - -
Paulson was the right man at the right time. The "bail-out" plan is unfortunately essential (but likely will not be enough to stave off a bad recession but will likely avoid a great depression 2.0).
Personally, I plan to sell my stock positions over the next 6 months, go into cash and assume the fetal position for the next two years.
"But in fact Mr Paulson is very far from being a member of the old establishment. He was brought up on a farm in Barrington Hills, Illinois."
This line is funny if you've ever lived in Chicago, Barrington Hills is not farm country in the "midwest sense" of the term, but more so in the Conneticut sense. Barrington Hills is filled with mansions and horse farms (and very, very, VERY wealthy owners).
Is no one else troubled when The Economist says "who to save" or "who to let go under"? How do we trust them with economic policy if we can't trust them with pronouns and prepositions?
an "underground" tunnel to the White House? how novel. presumably to distinguish it from the (hopefully blocked) outflow conduit from Capitol Hill...
I know the experts are blaming the sub-prime mortgage market and foreclosures in that market for this mess. Does that include homeowner's that bought at the height of the housing bubble, who have seen the price of the home plummet, and are now upside down along with the home equity lines of credit attached to the asset? If it's not then we are in for a bigger ride than what is currently going on.
Paulson's "Fanny May bazooka" failed and his new $700 billion economic A-bomb will too because it treats only a symptom, NOT THE CAUSE of the economic mess, which is:
Too many were persuaded to buy more house than they could afford
by irresponsible, greedy writers of innovative new mortgage types.
Everyone was operating on the "greater fool" theory and assuming the un-payable mortgage would clear later when the house was resold. Many of these mortgages writers knew they were promoting a criminal Ponzi scheme, designed to collect large bonuses. GWB's lax SEC etc. were also inept "regulators."
Promoters of innovative new loans types said:
"You do not need any money down. We will not check your stated income. Just sign on the dotted line.
In a year or two, you can sell ("to a greater fool," was not said) and make a profit."
So Joe American signed.
The writers of these new mortgage types knew, or should have, that it would all collapse, but only after they had collected their bonuses. When the end approached, they could get out with golden parachutes. They ran the biggest Ponzi scheme ever! – Just like a chain letter, it was destine to collapse. It is well accepted principle of law that criminals are not allowed to keep the loot they took, even if it was obtained with the miss-informed consent of the victim. That just makes them "con-men" as well a Ponzi crooks.
I want them prosecuted as Ponzi felons and, if convicted, ALL their bonuses return to their firms, with interest. If they cannot do that, then cease their ill gotten assets and sell them. That is how to restore the failing firm's economic health, not by sending a 700 billion dollar bill to Joe American. - Joe has been screwed enough already during the last 8 years.
A real cure must:
(1) Restore liquidity to financial system. (Make the toxic paper worth face value.)
(2) Get Joe American into housing he can afford.
(3) Transfer real assets, not toxic trash, to Uncle Sam.
(4) Not significantly increase US's already excessive debt.
(5) Prevent repetition of the problem.
All five are simultaneously possible. To see how, Click my name, in blue above and read the details in longer posts made earlier.
The Treasury Dept (Ministry) and it's Leader (Paulson), is Traditionaly the Second Most Important Cabinet Position.
The Secretary of Treasury, is Second Only to the Secretary of State in line for the Presidency, should something happen to the President, Vice President and the Speaker of the House.
Unfortunately, the Capable, Confident Mr Paulson is a RARE Exception, when it comes to George Bush's Other Cabinet Appointments;
An Amatuer Secretary of State (Rice)!
...Who Was also National Security Advisor on 9-11...She Should've Stuck to her Provost Post at Stanford.
A Delusional Defense Secretary (Rumsfeild)!!
...Who Thought he Knew BETTER than the Generals..
An Ambulance Chasing Lawyer from Texas at the Justice Dept (Gonzalez)!!!
....Who Forgot that his Job as Attorney General was to Defend & Uphold the Constitution, not Continue to Act as the President's Personal Attorney.
A Horse Breeding Expert at FEMA (Brown) !!!!
Compared to those Disastrous Appointments, Mr Paulson is a Breath of Fresh Air.
As a Taxpayer, I'm a bit More Confident, when I SEE People like Paulson doing their Utmost to get US Out of this Hole.
The Next President (Obama), would be advised to Carefully Select his Cabinet. Only the Highest Qualified Individuals Should be Considered for these Posts.
Enough of these Inept, Political Appointments.
Peace, Love & Respect.
BenB - Sorry to disappoint you, but unless you made your investments at the bottom of the market last week, you won't be reaping huge profits Monday morning.
The idea of forcing illiquid (and potentially insolvent) banks to buy enough insurance to cover all their potential losses is a non-starter -- they don't have the money, and that's been the problem from the beginning of this crisis (see Washington Post article this morning: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/26/AR200809...). And the other part of the GoP ideolog's plan is equally silly - just relieve them of the 15% capital gains tax and everything will suddenly be fine.
The Swedish plan in the 1990s actually worked: Govt. equity and control, bleed out the original shareholders, turn the situation around, then sell the govt. shares back into the private market. Sorry if Swedish "socialism" actually did work. Heaven forbid the US should copy the Swedes!
"the Ponzi schemes known as Social Security and Medicare"
That's an interesting analogy, but technically inaccurate. However, due to demographic shifts (fewer workers to support more retirees), they do more closely resemble ponzi schemes than would otherwise have been the case.
Of course, actual ponzi schemes are *designed* to require an expanding contributer base, to produce profits on investments for the levels above them. In social security and medicare, to the contrary, later contributors make contributions in order that higher levels simply get back their investment, plus interest, not to exploit the gullibility of latter contributors for profit. It's better to be more precise in your critique: The problem was not taking demographic fluctuation into account from the inception of the program, and designing it to weather such fluctuations (by creating surplusses when baby boomers were paying in). If it had been better designed, with more foresight, it would have functioned just fine.
Iraq war = $10 billion / month = $120 billion / year$700 billion = 5.83 years of Iraq war.We cannot afford twice the Iraq war. The next president will have to pull out of Iraq as a direct result of the financial mess. If he refuses to do it, he damns America to beggary.Indeed, it may be that we'll have to re-think our love of the military-industrial complex and the Ponzi schemes known as Social Security and Medicare.No, you CAN'T have it all.
It seems to me that people in powerful positions that deal with the national economy should be economists, not MBA's or college English majors.
I am an independent investor currently getting killed by the subprime frenzy, and if the lawmakers pass the Paulson plan in some form, I will be instantly back to huge profitability on Monday. But... This plan is still a disaster for America, and I will not support it. The biggest problem is not all the socialist nonsense the Democrats are tacking onto it, but the 700 billion at its heart. The insurance plan is much smarter, if only because we all know exactly what it will do for us - people like me might have to wait six months instead of getting rich Monday morning, but so be it. At least the insurance plan will separate the bad from the good in a clear manner and allow wall street to fix itself. The 700b plan does just the opposite. It leaves the taxpayer saddled with a mountain of bad loans, and when some percentage of these come through, it relies on the government to retire debt with the proceeds. Good luck with that one.The plan is really a repudiation of capitalist principles. It takes advantage of a short-term crisis to impose a long-term socialist, massive-government structure on our economy and ourselves. There are many reasons Americans enjoy one of the better lifestyles on the planet, but it isn't this kind of government intervention.
I am getting tired of all the glowing odes to King Henry. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the inspectors at the FDIC are both Treasury agencies. Where have they been while Paulson was running the place?
Wall Street's creed is that they have the moral imperative to separate fools from their money. Paulson recognized that he was down to a 2 week window to separate a very large sum from perhaps the largest collection of fools in America - Congress.
Keep those calls going to your Congressmen - we the citizens can send Paulson and his cronies back to where they came from.
And if this passes, send your representatives back to where they came from.
He sounds like a decent guy, but perhaps the skills required to climb a corporate ladder are not the same as dealing with a game-changing crisis? Time will tell.
I used to trust Paulson. When he was apppointed at the Treasury, I thought he was a great choice. I thought no one would know finance better than he did. Then, when the subprime mortgage crisis started to surface, a little over a year ago, he said (I paraphrase)that subprime was a very small percentage of the American economy, that nowadays the financial markets are "very sophisticated", the risk is very well spread and there was nothing to fear. "The fundamentals are strong". All along, he has said similar things. So he has been consistently wrong. Or dishonest. The crisis has worsened. Now I know that by "very sophisticated", he meant, never mind, you are too dumb to understand. A red flag. Isn't it a little naive to trust him now with $700B more, which might even turn out to be not enough?
there is a typo in this article- Jon Corzine does not have an H in his first (given) name.

ROCKCASTLE COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - A community is getting help after the state had to cut off their main route into town.
The state closed the Kentucky 1505 bridge into Brodhead in Rockcastle county after engineers found serious safety problems. Last week, WKYT talked to residents, concerned because the detour is 11 miles long and they wanted a quicker, safer route.
It was going to be next Spring before a new bridge was built across the Dix River, replacing the aging structure state officials said was in danger of collapse. However, several days after we showed you the 22 mile round trip detour, the state installed a new, temporary bridge.
The new road over the Dix River is a series of metal culverts, rock and gravel. The temporary bridge is still being constructed, and state officials said they could not say exactly how much it's going to cost. However, residents tell us it's money well spent, and the mayor says it's a major solution to a problem that was destroying the town.
More than 60 homes are on the northwest side of Brodhead, and some parents were having to get their kids up an hour early to catch the bus that was having to take the detour that basically required a trip into Mount Vernon...just to get into downtown Brodhead.
"I know all the people who live less than two miles from here, are all happy that they can get that extra hour of sleep in the mornings. They don't have to get up and get their children to school," said Randy Cromes, who lives in Brodhead.
State officials say they decided to build the temporary expanse after what they described as public outcry because of the lengthy detour. The old bridge will be torn down and bids for a new bridge will be taken in January, but it will likely be Spring until construction begins.
The mayor, and Rockcastle County judge-executive say they also went to Frankfort to demand a solution to the problem.

So day 1 -
Lunch -Rix - CSR
DH ordered a cheeseburger, I had the chicken fingers and DD had the hotdog. They come w/ Chips a drink and a snack. They were all fine. Nothing special, typical fast food. Made fresh. No complaints.
Dinner - Rainforest Cafe - DTD
I had the Chicken Fried Chicken and this was really good. Large portion (too large) Kind of like a large battered Chicken Cutlet. The chicken was moist and NOT oily, mashed pot. and some veggies that were really good too. DH had the Mojo Bones with fries and said they were really good too. DD had the sliders w/ fries. Again, really large portion for sliders. Didn't need to order her a seperate meal here as there was way too much food. I also had the sangria and that was really good too.
Snack - Ghiradelli's - DD had the kids cup and I had a taste it was yummy an DH had the PB sundae and I had a taste of this too. He thought it was just ok but I thought it was delish! I thought it was cute that it came with a little chocolate and a pic w/ crayons for the kids.
For lunch we were able to use 3 meal Credits but paid OOP for dinner and snack. Not sure if Ghiradelli's took snack credits or not because I forgot to ask and just paid for it.

Day 2
Breakfast - Ohana - this by far was my favorite breakfast of the entire trip!!! The character interaction was great. They came to each table didn't rush, took the kids to join in the parade and even came back around for a second time. The food was really good too. The bread was wonderful, the fruit was fresh. I have no idea what they put in that juice but it was WOW, I wish they sold that stuff by the case! There was scambled eggs bacon, biskets, sausage, mickey waffles. All really fresh and yummy. I really enjoyed this breakfast and would book it again!
Lunch - WPE - We had the mac and cheese and the margarita pizza. The pizza was ok and DH wasn't crazy about the mac and cheese. This was just ok. very crowded. It wasn't horrible but nothing special either.
Dinner - Mama Melrose - we had the fried calamari for two. This was pretty tasty. DH liked the sweet sauce that came w/ it and thought that added a little something different. DH had the steak for dinner and really liked it. I had the penne ala vodka and it was good too. DD had the pizza but mostly ate my pasta. DH ordered the tiramisu and I ordered the chocolate mousse. Both were really good. We liked this place. With it came tix for F! which were so worth it because the line was HUGE and we walked right up to the front and got right in.

Rznhal, we did the free DDP so just had to pay for the upgrade. With the DDP we would have had to pay for a few OOP so I thought it just made sense to use the money to upgrade to the DXDP instead of paying OOP for some meals. It is A LOT of food. I was surprised, DH is a big eater so I thought for sure those extra credits would come in handy for late night snacks and they did a little but most portions were so big that we didn't really need them. I don't think I would do it again.

Day 3 -
Tusker House - Breakfast - I hadn't read much about this so wasn't sure what to expect. The food wasn't bad. The usual breakfast buffet stuff along with that yummy juice. This one did have some donuts and breakfast pastries where the others didn't have much. You only see Donald in front and the others (Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and I think it was Pluto) all come around during the breakfast and they do a little parade with the kids. Overall pretty good.
Lunch - Pepper Markey - CSR - DH had the chicken Quasadilla and I had the nachos. Both were very good. Made fresh and just yummy. The portions are HUGE!!!!! WOW. I don't even think I made a dent in those nachos.
Dinner - Via Napoli - We had a 7:00pm reservation we didn't wait long to be seated but the place was very crowded. We ordered the fresh mozzerella and Tom. and the fried Calamari. Both delish. for our main course DD got the spaghetti and meatballs, I had the margarita pizza and DH ordered the white pizza. DD's came out prety quick but ours took FOREVER. It was 8:00 and we still hadn't had our main course. We were pretty hungry but what can you do? The waited was very apologetic and we were dealing with it. Chatting with the people at the table next to us. We didn't complain at all and the manager came over to apologize and offered to buy us a drink since we were on the dinning plan there wasn't much she could offer. I had already had a glass of wine so I ordered another and DH doesn't drink so he said thanks but he was fine. They ended up comping us both of my glasses of wine which was very nice and as I mentioned, we hadn't even complained. Once the food came it out it was REALLY good!! I would eat here again!!!

Day 4
Breakfast - Peppermarket CSR
I had the breakfast platter, fried eggs over easy with hashbrowns, bacon and a bisket. It was nice to have something besides scrambled eggs. DH had the same and DD had a bagel. Overall nothing special about this breakfast. But it was fine.
Dinner - CRT - I expected the food to be... eh and figured it was all about the experience with this one but I was pleasantly surprised. DH had the shrimp cocktail and I had the cheese sampler. The cheese was pretty good. The sauce (kind of like a corn chutney) with the shrimp was pretty good. I knew what this looked like before he ordered it but DH was little disappointed that it wasn't a usual shrimp cocktail. DH ordered the pork three ways, He said it was really good. I didn't taste it. I ordered the chicken stuffed with ham, cheese and asparagus. This was really yummy. DD had the pizza but mostly ate my chicken. As you know the choices for kids are really limited so for the most part we ordered a lot of pizza knowing she would take a bite or two but more so would be eating what I ordered, which was fine since most of the portions were pretty large. For dessert the waitress asked DD if she wanted the icecream or the cupcake, she said both lol. I told them to bring the cupcake and Jess (our wonderful waitress) brought both. DH had the sampler, which he liked. I had the mousse in raspberry sauce YUMMY. We had a great seat right near the window and the princesses were really great. They interacted well with the kids and were very in character. The pic they give you of your child w/ Cinderella was really cute too.
As a side note - before we did CRT we had an appointment at BBB and that was really cute. DD LOVED it. I wasn't as thrilled with our fairy godmother. She was not as into it as some of the others but when all was said and done DD loved the way she looked and that is all that mattered.

Day 5
Breakfast - Chef Mickey's - NOT IMPRESSED! Probably the longest wait we had to be seated, food was cold, nothing special. DD and I had one plate but DH went up for seconds and we were still done and had the check paid before any characters made it into our section. So there we sat just waiting. Would not waste my time on this one again.
Dinner - Tony's Town Square - YUCK! Not much more I can add. We ordered the cheesy garlic bread and this was really the most edible thing of the entire meal. I had Shrimp Scampi and DH ordered the lasagna and DD had he spaghetti. YUCK! None of it was even remotely good. It was even ok, it was just bad. DD wouldn't eat it at all. I did eat the pasta but not the shrimp and DH ate a few bites of lasagna but couldn't do anymore. I offered to trade w/ him but even I couldn't eat the lasagna. Then I ordered the ice cream bomb and even that wasn't good.
Very bad day food wise.....

Day 6
Breakfast - Akerhaus - This was good. Quick, we were in and out fast. The usual breakfast items but the fruit was fresh as were the bagels and they had some cheese and some other things like lox and capers.
Dinner - Le Cellier - wasn't sure what to expect. This had mixed reviews and DH is a huge steak lover so we've been to just about every steak house on the east coast. This was pretty good. I started with the cheddar soup, which I liked. It was good w/ the pretzel bread. DH had the cesar salad. Then I had the signature filet w/ mushroom risotto. I love risotto but don't like mushrooms. I took a chance and just picked out the chunks of mushrooms. It was good, not salty at all as some have reviewed. The steak was cooked perfectly, not tough but not too rare. DH had the Rib eye w/ wedges (I think) and he really enjoyed it. We also ordered the creamed spinach. DD had pasta but this time it had ground turkey which I liked and I liked it. He had the creme brule for dessert and said it was good. I was sooo full couldn't eat another bite. Overall, really yummy!!

Day 7
Lunch - The Plaza - DH and I had the burgers with grilled onions and fries. DD had the grilled cheese. It was good, we had no complaints w/ this meal. DH ordered the chocolate shake w/ his meal but was able to use his dessert credit. I ordered the sundae and it was delicious!!
Dinner - 1900 Park - This was a buffet. Lady Germaine wasn't there. So it was just cinderella, prince charming and the two step sisters. Very cute. DD loved prince charming. There was a selection of food. Cesar salad, mozzerella and tom. salad, chicken noodle soup (there may have been another soup too). Then pork and beef from the carving station. A plain pasta, a primavera in a cream sauce, corn, mashed pot., mac and cheese, pizza. All good. dessert was a little chocolate cup, brownies, mini berry cups. All very good too. The food was fresh and I saw them replenishing often.

Day 8 -
Breakfast - CRT - We had a choice of a yogurt w/ granola, a platter w/ bacon, eggs and sausage and one other choice that I can't remember. We went with the egg platter and it was good. Although I did enjoy the dinner more. I think at this point I had enough of the bacon and eggs. the character interaction was once again great.

Also, during the week we were there we had many snacks. The popcorn was yummy. The ice cream from the plaza ice cream shop was HUGE. I had chocolate and DH had cookies and cream and WOW. This is a great way to use a snack credit. We also tried the PB cups from Goofy's candy co. DT. Those were awesome. The berry margarita from mexico was delish and I also had the pom. slushie from france and that was good too.
So to sum it up, best meals were Via Napoli/Le Cellier for dinner and Ohana for breakfast. Worst was Chef Mickey for breakfast and Tony's for dinner.

Men Have Insecurities, Just Like Women
By The Frisky
I never allowed myself to give in to my insecurities. I was a fat kid who acted like he wasn't, even though I hated getting naked, or wearing tight shirts, or jeans that weren't "husky," the former polite word for "human donut." I would date women who were very open about feeling fat, or just committed to not getting that way. I pretended to be the understanding boyfriend and would go on "sympathy diets" with them. Holy Zeus, am I sensitive or what? The truth is, it allowed me to experiment with dealing with my body issues. I have tried just about every crash diet out there, and am willing to talk at length about them to anyone. Atkins, South Beach, liquid diets, the cabbage soup diet, the foraging diet. I've taken diet pills and gone to saunas, and even tried Weight Watchers, which was the best of the bunch because it teaches portion control. Because of these diets, I eventually confessed my body image fears to a friend of mine, a hard-drinking construction worker. I actually opened up, and shared my feelings with a guy whose idea of a good time was drinking cases of beer, setting things on fire and shooting guns. (I have no problem with any one of these things. When done at the same time, however, they can get hairy.) He looked at me, blinked, and said, "John, if you think you're fat, stop eating so f**king much. Walk more. And don't put sugar in your coffee." And I don't. I take it black, a cup of Darth Vader. It was pretty good advice.

Representatives from the Shoppes at Whittemore Crossing on Whittemore Road, a collection of stores that includes Middlebury Consignment, will appear before the commission tonight to request several minor changes, including permission to remove a retaining wall adjacent to property owned by St. John of the Cross Church.

text: City of Manteca's honored its trash collectors Monday afternoon with an in-office party celebrating National Garbage Man Day Lester Pulsen has a laugh after being awarded a Public Works proclamation by Solid Waste Supervisor Rexie LeStrange. JASON CAMPBELL/The Bulletin It was a simple prank. It didn't require a lot of planning and in the end it more than likely resulted in nothing more than a startled garbage collector. But that doesn't mean that Jeff Santos – a 27-year veteran of the City of Manteca's solid waste division – enjoyed throwing open the lid to a resident's trash can and seeing a cat that spent the previous eight hours cooped up inside. "People would do that, and after that long those animals weren't happy," Santos said with a chuckle. "I didn't see a whole lot of strange stuff over the years, but people would do things like that on occasion to get a laugh. It's funny but it's also not so funny when you're the guy ... Read More

NK Without Counting?
Hi guys!
Does anyone here do NK without weighing and/or measuring their food?
I'd really like to give this a try because I do best on high fat/moderate protein/low carb, but weighing, measuring, counting, etc. is highly triggering for me. I'm thinking about just doing the weighing/measuring part for a week or so to get a good idea of what I should be eating to hit the correct percentages and generally following other people's menus.
Any advice would be appreciated! :newbie:
I don't personally do that myself, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make that work for you :) To me, the most important things are making sure I don't go WAY over (or under) on protein and trying to keep it as low carb as possible... so once you have an idea of what your ideal amount of protein is for the day (there's some great information on that in the April thread on the first page btw!) and what that corresponds to as far as your meat/cheese/nuts/other protein for the day, it should be pretty simple to stick to NK without measuring!
For instance, I know that I can definitely eat 8oz of meat at dinner and still have some protein the rest of the day without going over... if I wanted a 10oz steak though, I'd cut the rest of my protein for the day down to next to nothing. Does that make sense? I hope so! LOL
I'm not sure if it'd be triggering for you to pick up a blood ketone meter, or even the urine test strips for ketones and use those... but if not, that would be a GREAT tool for you when you're not measuring food. These would tell you if your body is producing ketones (essential for NK) and you'd notice a fluctuation this way if you ate something off plan/ate too much of something that you didn't track :)
I think after I've really lived this WOE for a long period of time and feel comfortable eye balling things I'm typically going to eat I do hope to move out of weighing all foods. I think it will be a ways down the road but do look forward to that.
I have actually always been a fan of weighing food because when I eyeball I tend to under-estimate and short myself on servings - not cool. LOL...so weighing/measuring tends to give me more eats!...def a big fan of that LOL :)
If you have done LC in the past, you should have a good idea on carb counts. I had to track protein for a while to get the visual on the amount. Now I don't have to track much except for keeping an eye on calories so I don't get too much fat.
It is worth trying. If it doesn't work with a real casual approach you can always tighten up what you are doing later.
Thank guys!! :up:
I'm gonna give this a shot.
I had to track to make sure I had the right macronutrient distribution to qualify for NK. It turns out for me that I can easily eat too much protein. I measure blood ketones now though and I think if you did that you wouldn't have to track. The meter tells you if you are in NK without needing to track to meticulously.
Good point about the meter, Punkin and Raindrops. I'm just not happy about the idea of a diet that requires me to literally shed blood, you know? :hyst: But the more I think about it, the more I think that would be less painful than weighing and measuring every morsel I eat.
Would those results account for protein, too?
Also, if you're not keen on shedding blood (I got my meters, but have yet to use them!) you can always try the urine test strips! I know they're not QUITE as precise as the blood testing ones are, but they work well enough for me and they'll at least tell you if you're producing ketones. I also notice the strips lighten in color during my TOM which is in line with the reading I've done into ketosis and women's TOM... my body produces less ketones at that time, and it IS reflected on the strips so I think any dietary concerns would also be reflected on there and they're a great tool to use in lieu of blood testing imo :)
the blood testing is expensive too, its about $50 for 10 strips here
I was actually wondering if someone found a cheaper source out there somewhere, but it seems they're just really high!
It's triggering for me too to count calories or otherwise measure and track what I eat. The last time I did keto I lost 40 lbs very easily without counting at all. I'm back on the plan and not intending to count unless I hit a wall. I did count for a few days just to figure out how much I was naturally eating without trying to restrict my intake and it was right on target, so I don't worry too much about going over macros or calories. When I follow it this is the only WOE that's worked for me without triggering me.
There is a website. Google diabetesexpress and you can buy the strips for about $20 a box. When I started ketone testing I learned that I don't have to be as restrictive with carbs as I thought, that is why I found it helpful to do the testing. I was sticking with induction level carbs but it turns out I can get away with closer to 50g a day and still be in ketosis, which is helpful because it allows more variety in my diet and makes it easier.
"Precision Xtra Blood Ketone Test Strips- 10's Pack"
"Our flat fee for orders below $150.00 is $9.00 (plus applicable taxes)"
I do test ketones and have a source that charges 1.79 per ketone strip. The trick was that I had to buy 100 b.g. strips to get the 'free' meter. As I understand it, b.g. strips are quite a bit more expensive here (Canada) then in the States. I ended up spending $175 all tolled for the meter, 100 b.g. stips and 50 ketone stips. It was an expensive little experiment but at least I know that I am and likely have been in ketosis and I can tolerate a specific amount of protein and carbs.
In regards to measuring, I could not dream of going without it. My little kitchen scale is more valuable to me in terms of good information than any ol' meter!!:)
I just found a site called diabetic express that has Precision Xtra strips for $65 for 50 ($126 for 100), free shipping over $50, and is located in/ships to the US.
I'm not sure.
Thought it was a good deal for buying more (as opposed to 10), guess it was too good to be true! :annoyed:
However, the description is erroneous anyway because it's for the meter, not the strips.
Check ebay for the ketone strips. I've won auctions for as low as $15/box of 10, but usually paid around $20-25/box, including shipping. It's still pricey, but a lot less hassle.
Thanks, I ordered some. Much cheaper than the blood-testing strips. :)

Obama selects Marine to head U.S. Southern Command
Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly has been nominated to take charge of the Southern Command, headquartered in Doral.
President Barack Obama has chosen to send a Marine to Miami to run U.S. military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean out of the Southern Command.
He's Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly, who first enlisted in 1970 and saw his two sons follow in his footsteps to the Corps as well. His youngest, 1st Lt. Robert Michael Kelly, a 2003 Florida State University graduate, was killed in an explosion while leading Marines on a dismounted patrol in Afghanistan in 2010.
The Pentagon announced the selection of Kelly in a brief two-line statement Friday afternoon. Because the Senate has to confirm the nomination, as well as Kelly's promotion to a four-star general, there was no immediate word on when he would succeed Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, the current commander.
Kelly, over six feet tall and in his 60s, comes to the job with an impressive résumé:
He's currently senior military advisor to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, has served multiple deployments in Iraq and also worked as a Defense Department representative on Capitol Hill.
A senior Pentagon official called Kelly "a man with a warm heart, but you don't want to meet him on the battlefield if you're the enemy."
Kelly has commanded troops in Fallujah, Iraq, the official said, and "at one time he had tens of thousands of Americans and Iraqi soldiers under his command" in Iraq.
Kelly is a New Englander, born and raised in Boston and a 1976 graduate of the University of Massachusetts. He joined the Marines before going to the university, served for two years as an enlisted infantryman out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., and left as a sergeant.
He got his commission after graduation from UMass and, according to his official Defense Department biography, served in Florida at least once — out of Mayport with and assignments to the carriers USS Forrestal and Independence.
Kelly is the former commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He led the unit in Iraq beginning in early 2008.
The Associated Press reported from Boston Saturday that Kelly was one of the most senior military officer to lose a child in the war in Afghanistan.
His 29-year-old son, 1st Lt. Robert M. Kelly was killed Nov. 9, 2010 in Helmand province.
He's buried at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D.C. Like his father, he started off as an enlisted Marine and was later commissioned, in his case after two tours in Iraq. The general's elder son, then a Marine captain, was on hand at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to receive the fallen first lieutenant's flag-draped coffin.
At the time of his son's death, the general issued a poignant statement that said, in part:
"He went quickly and thank God he did not suffer. In combat that is as good as it gets, and we are thankful. We are a broken hearted but proud family. He was a wonderful and precious boy living a meaningful life."
It was not immediately known if Kelly has previously served in the Caribbean and Latin America.
More than 1,000 Defense and other government employees work out of Southcom headquarters in Doral, which Kelly has been chosen to run, on a range of Defense projects from humanitarian relief operations to the detention center at Guantánamo.
Southcom also runs periodic regional training exercises that team up U.S. forces with foreign armies and navies that senior Pentagon officials have pointed to as a model for the future of a more strategic, downsized U.S. military force across the globe.

WOW: LeAnn Rimes Jokes She Lost Virginity By "Raping" Boyfriend (VIDEO)
By Shari Weiss | 11:31 am, August 27th, 2014VIDEO
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian had their first-ever "threesome" in a new interview with Joan Rivers, in which there was surprisingly not one, but two rape jokes.
The couple joined the comedienne for the latest installment of her "In Bed With Joan" webseries, and began by saying how the intimate chat would be their first threesome.
Rimes went on to joke that the drink Rivers gave her may have been "roofied," and was later asked about losing her virginity.
The singer said she was 16 at the time, and in Monte Carlo with her boyfriend, and then jokingly added, "I think I raped him. I think that's how it happened."
The rest of the interview wasn't quite as eyebrow-raising, with Rimes and Cibrian talking about their careers, whether they've been "forgiven" for their cheating scandal, and how they use their VH1 show to fire back at false stories.
Check out the full video below, and tell us what you think.

I know the popular thing is this thread is to point out that Buffalo didn't make the hard drive inside it, so there's no reason to worry, but Buffalo didn't make the hard drives inside any of the devices I've used of theirs and yet every single one I've ever used has failed on me in some notable way. They may not make the drive, but they do make the controller that interfaces with the drive, and if that controller fails it has the potential to take the data on the drive down with it, as it has for many of my clients. Now in those cases it was RAID NAS boxes, which is a far more advanced system. But I'm not in the mood to use my personal data to see if their build quality is any better on simpler, cheaper devices.
I was tempted too but the trusted names aren't too much more. Data backup is one of those things I don't skimp on.

was considering biting but so many of the amazon reviews are about it failing that i don't wanna go through the hassle. awesome if you get one that ends up functioning past a year (since 1 year warranty) even though according to the reviews lots fail between 2-6 months.
Warranty means squat when memories are lost forever. Reputation and reliability means more than anything else here.

I have a long drive to Teri's The Strand at Pinecrest salon. I'm way over to the Northeast, not so far from the county line of Broward and Miami-Dade. She's way south. I figure I need to leave the house about 50 mins prior to my appt to be safe, even though it's after rush hour.
