This Minute at Runco
Impossible in TheoryThursday, July 14, 2011
By James Wood
"A symptom of the revolution: When we state something is impossible in theory, but then change our minds when we discover that it is possible in practice." ~ Seth Godin
It's easy to sit back and say that things are impossible. It's an excuse to not try. If something's just not possible then it needs no thought, no action. But the world has been shaped by people who dare to challenge the limits of what's possible. Heavier than air flight, the light bulb, the four minute mile, and a global computer network are just a few possibilities that were once thought impossible. Nearly every story in the history books is about someone standing toe-to-toe with impossible and wrestling success out of its grasp.
Impossible takes a long time to realize, but before too long it becomes the new standard. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) were first created in 1927, but it wasn't until the late 60s and early 70s that the technology became inexpensive enough for mass production. But the energy efficient, solid-state light sources were always too dim for anything except indicator lights. It was considered impossible to use them as a significant source of light.
But now LEDs are brighter than ever and keep increasing in brightness all the time. The once dim-bulbs are now at the head of the class in new technologies like the Runco InfiniLight™ LED Projectors. Because LEDs are solid state, they won't burn out and don't need to be replaced like typical lamp projectors. They don't produce the same level of heat because the LEDs are more efficient at turning electricity into light without waste, and with Runco's image processing, they modulate to match the color and brightness intensity of each frame. That efficiency results in a 70% drop in power consumption over lamp projectors. Just a few years ago all those things would be considered impossible. Not anymore.
The Infinilight technology pioneered by Runco gives not only consistent, bright light over the life of a projector, but the widest range of colors ever seen. Not only is there a myriad of colors, but the colors are accurate to what you're viewing due to the color calibration that happens automatically every time you power on your Runco projector. Stop worrying about warm up or cool down time. Instead, turn the projector on and off instantly when you want to watch a movie or when you're ready to leave.
At Runco, the impossible isn't a barrier but a starting point. Anyone can do what's always been done. Most people look at the impossible and see it as the place to stop. History makers see a challenge to be overcome and a new standard to be set. Let the home theater revolution begin!

Hey Guys
I'm Back as promised
Well... Game 2 of the WCC between
The Champion - Vishy Anand
The Challenger - Magnus Carlsen
was almost as BORING as the first game - draw in a mere 25 moves and even shorter as they ended in an hour and ten minutes - Especially in this game as Anand had a chance to play on with the initiave with 18.Qg4 instead trading Queens
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to share this with u guys --- Apparently this is not like a standard WCC because Anand doesn't regain title if he goes 6-6 !!
Shoutout to LaskerFan for posting this
If the scores are level after the regular twelve (12) games, after a new drawing of colors, four (4) tie-break games shall be played. The games shall be played using the electronic clock starting with 25 minutes for each player with an increment of 10 seconds after each move.
If the scores are level after this, then, after a new drawing of colors, a match of 2 games shall be played with a time control of 5 minutes plus 3 seconds increment after each move.
In case of a level score, another 2-game match will be played to determine a winner.
If still there is no winner after 5 such matches (total 10 games), one sudden-death game will be played. The player who wins the drawing of lots may choose the color. The player with the white pieces shall receive 5 minutes, the player with the black pieces shall receive 4 minutes whereupon, after the 60th move, both players shall receive an increment of 3 seconds starting from move 61.
In case of a draw the player with the black pieces is declared the winner.
Thank you for the article and the good reply.
Much respect for both players, but i'm falling in love with Tania!
I really can not believe that more or less skilled chess fans find the games boring. The 2 players are at the highest level of chess in history of man kind. To get to a decisive position for either side, one of them must actually make a bad move. After 14 moves of this game we had opposite side castles, heavy artillery still on the board and on almost every lower level we would have seen "bad" moves, giving the opponent some edge. But on this level the play is so close to perfection by both sides that equality is maintained. Maybe Carlsen would have played different if the opponent were some mere 2600 push-over, by knowingly playing some inferior move just to stir up the board and get the game out of book and known lines, but you don`t do that against Anand. I believe that we won`t see either player pushing for anything unless they "smell" an inaccurant move by the opponent. So, instead of complaining about none of the players making bad moves, use you chess skills and devotion to our great game to educate and enthusiastically enlight your surroundings when they show interest in the WCC match.
Sorry.. my bad.
I read Rfg3. :)
Yes, I agree with that, JMB2010. Weakness at e6 and fodder for the white rook.
He means when the king is on h7 I think. Well, I guess the simplest answer is that it would make the e6 pawn very weak and simple to attack on the e-file.
@FM krstulov_alexAfter pawn and rook trades at f6, the h6 pawn is hanging due to the pin along the g-file.
i wish vishy to get 6.5 as soon as possible and leave carlson back home....
@ HowToTameADragen:
I quote: 'I'm trying to say that many people set expectations very high for this match and are dissapointed with 2 early draws'
You are probably right but perhaps the expectations that are set by many are too high to begin with. People can't expect the most awesome and deep tactical combinations to appear out of thin air, just because a world champion is supposed to be able to do that? Getting a win is difficult at these levels when the stakes are so high, thus losing a game because one is careless and tries for more than one ought to in a position, is not a good thing to do.
Like they said both, they got 'outplayed' in the opening by the black pieces, sensing that their opponents were probably better prepared for these lines and had to pull the 'emergency brake'. These games are not great examples of succesfull attacking chess or slowly outmanouvring the opponent positionally, but if you carefully take into account the setting and the psychology of the games and the match in total, the are definitely NOT boring
I think not forced draw. On 23.Rgf3 Black can play f5 or f6. Or not?
"Is playing with white pieces an advantage for players at this level?"
More so than at lower levels. White advantage is merely a move and better players ar obviously better makeing use of it
+1 to eaglejorge. A lot of reports today just start with the end result, "oh its drawn by repetition in x, y, z moves etc". we all know that. But there is so much going on behind the actual moves. Why did carlsen choose caro-kann, the first time in may WCC matches that it was ever played? what is the authors take on why it was chosen. Did he expect Anand's seconds to be underprepared. Even before that what about the agressive first move from Anand? (I dont even know why E4 is agressive but the press keeps telling this and I would like to know why--these are the reasons I come to chess.com).
It really saddens me that men of such stature as Vishy and Carlsen have to apologize for playing the correct moves after years of hard work and dedication. Majority of human life is ordinary---boring and it is upto each one of us to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Get on with it and stop calling these great men cowards. It is not the critic who counts...
I agree with NM howtotame. a dragon?
@eaglejorge - im not claiming to be better than either of them (nobody is);
I'm trying to say that many people set expectations very high for this match and are dissapointed with 2 early draws
Drawing isnt the boring part - its how fast that they draw that makes it boring
You are starting the report withBORING in CAPS! ...are you here really trying to support chess?? for the good of the game??? maybe the writer is a better player than these 2 chess masters??
I invite you to tame the dragon of sadness! To conquer the altitudes of amazingness! And to hug life as it happens with all the thrill of this final match!
How can the article motivate us if thw writer calls this game AS BORING AS the previous ONE. Chess is in need of leaders who believe in the human condition and that want to promote chess. A lot of effort is being done in this very moment all over the planet to get recognition for our beloved game, as we know the goodness in it.
My friend, I can see that you want thrill and a fight in chess...therefore I invite you to live your life with emotion and thinking freely and with a good attitude! Can you realize that we are watching history happen!? THIS is not boring!! Would you know in advance that C4 in the first game? Do you have better answers for it??
I invite you to leave sadness behind and to be an optimistic son of reality and to add flavour to these World Championship reports!
Im pretty sure you will find poetry in the most simple things on the board.
Ya know, they need to really start opening sharp lines and technical complications. Also have not seen any brilliancies
Come on world champs!!!
Yes, but barely. Black nowadays has more control of the nature of the game depending on his first move, but White's first move is the first word and does limit black's options for response. Eg. d4 very rarely leads to open games. e4 can lead to tactics on move 2. c4 is almost always gonna end up a long game.

can exercise knock you out of ketosis?
I did a super insane zumba class last wednesday (first time) and I have been exhausted (despite sleeping 12 hours three nights in a row) ever since. I've had no energy during the day, don't want to do my workouts, and I want carbs sooooo bad. Could it have actually knocked me out of ketosis, for days? Or is there something else I'm not thinking of that has knocked me out? I haven't started taking any new meds or anything like that and my diet has not changed one iota.
Also, I normally go into ketosis super easy, like in the first day of low carbing. I think the rest of you have to sort of wait for your bodies to catch up, but I just stop injecting insulin and I'm there. I am not doing any extra insulin, in fact, I may be doing a bit less.
I suppose I probably am still in ketosis, if so, what's the deal with the intense hunger/carb craving/low energy????
I could only guess the intense exercise, but I really have no idea.
I find that a little exercise goes a long way these carb cutting days.
I was mowing yesterday (good size area, with some rough terrain) and had to take a break and then finish later. THe good thing was I was so tired I didn't need a snack and I slept well.
Intense exercise can work against you in that the muscles will uptake glucose from your bloodstream after you finish the exercise to replace their lost glycogen, this drops the blood sugar and puts stress on the brain, as you experience the effects of hypoglycemia. To some extent having a high level of blood ketones can buffer the effect, but it depends on how easily your adipose cells release their stored fat. Unfortunately the brain still uses some glucose for energy, which is the reason it doesn't like the drop in blood sugar. If you are trying to lose weight or are trying to live in permanently in a ketogenic state, it is best to participate only in low intensity exercise, and be careful with any exercise which might cause a drop in blood sugar, due to the muscles trying to replenish lost glycogen too quickly.
Sounds like I had a drop in blood sugar while mowing.
I am glad I recogniized I needed a break.
Well... I think I have, at least temporarily, solved this problem. I had a large serving of chili for dinner and still felt ravenous and was really feeling like there was no way I was gonna survive target in that state, so I had 2 1/2 T peanut butter w a packet of truvia and wow, I'm stuffed! I know that peanut butter is calorie dense, but who woulda thought that I could go from starving to stuffed w 2 1/2 T of anything?!!
So here I am following my kid through the toy section w/o a worry. :)
The authors of this book swear that you can take on higher intensity sports, w/out carbing up, such as say running, once you are totally adapted to fat burning. But I'm not sure this is true, via my own experience---which is highly mitigated I admit, by my age and the fact that I'm far from in good shape when it comes to physical exercise. It's hard to know where the LC woe comes in, vs. just being out of shape.
I am currently trying to add in "gentle" exercise, and by that I mean walking more often. Still, even that tires me out more than it would have on a higher carb woe. I don't think this means a LC woe is bad for exercise, I simply think it means that "adaptation" is serious business---takes time, tweaking, and growing into, all things individual to who we are and in what shape we were in when we started.
One thing I think is true---one cannot cut carbs, calories, AND exercise at high intensity and not feel "bonked", unless one has a super lucky metabolic system.
Blue Skies, I think some of that depends on what kind of low carb you're doing. But I have always had more energy and felt better exercising while eating low carb even when I was running and doing straight up Atkins. A couple of years ago I did a diet that was basically just HWC, hamburger, bacon, and 2 ounces of cheddar a day and I was planning on NOT exercising, but at some point, I'm guessing the point when Phinney and Volek would say I became ketoadapted, I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin if I didn't start exercising. Now I'm doing nutritional ketosis and it's similar. I feel so, so much more energetic and ready to exercise than I ever did when eating carbs.
I really think this is why fat people are thought of as *lazy*. It's not any sort of moral thing, it's bc our bodies were so busy storing fat and so stingy about allowing us any energy to actually use that laying around on the couch was about all we could do, or at least all I could do. I swear, if the rest of the world has always had this kind of energy, then they've had a big advantage!
Anyhow, Blue Skies, I wonder if there's some way that you can get ketosis to work better for you, or be in a deeper state of ketosis or something, bc it doesn't seem like you're getting this benefit and it's pretty nice to have.
Basically, if you put an intense amount of physical stress on your body -- for example with an "insane" amount of Zumba -- that *could* cause an exaggerated release of cortisol, which would cause your body to either convert more dietary protein into glucose or even to break down your muscle tissue and convert your body protein into glucose. This happens because the physical stress has sent signals through your body to indicate that you need additional energy, which your hormonal systems interpret as the need for more glucose (especially if you are diabetic or have otherwise irregular blood sugar levels), and the body responds to these signals by releasing a flood of cortisol, which activates the process of breaking down protein and making more blood glucose.
This is actually a survival response. For example, the body secretes more cortisol during the stress of weight training or sprinting so that additional glucose is produced, which means that the muscles will be able to maintain steady blood glucose levels throughout the activity, even while the muscles are pulling larger amounts of glucose out of the bloodstream.
Cortisol is *typically* not a problem -- even on fat reducing diets because the body is VERY smart about balancing cortisol with insulin, even on a ketogenic diet. HOWEVER, if your body has *irregular* insulin patterns, then it may also have correspondingly irregular cortisol patterns, which could cause you to have more extreme problems with cortisol release than is typical and your insulin response may not be sufficiently calibrated to address the imbalance.
These cortisol problems are not talked about as commonly as problems with insulin resistance, but cortisol is also a component of the "metabolic syndrome."
The increase in GP [glucose production] was due entirely to an increase in gluconeogenesis, determined by either the HS or the TK method (66±6% and 65±5% of GP respectively; P < 0.05). Thus cortisol administration in humans increases GP by stimulating gluconeogenesis. Smaller increases in serum cortisol may contribute to the abnormal glucose metabolism known to occur in the metabolic syndrome.
I should also mention that if your body didn't have enough dietary protein to use as a substrate for glucose -- and it broke down body protein to produce additional glucose -- this could also affect the body's potassium balance, which could lead to fatigue or even feelings of illness until the potassium levels are rebalanced.
Just another weird, random metabolic observation that might not even apply to you!
Ok, so lifting weights whilst doing Atkins induction isn't a good idea?
I lift fairly heavy 4 times a week, take an extra protein shake and creatine daily. Could this be slowing my weight loss? I only lost 4lbs in 16 days so far. I don't feel anymore tired at the gym than before I started Atkins, but if this will actually slow results, I'm prepared to stop for the time being, although ill need to do some kind of exercise otherwise ill go insane.
And when can I start lifting for mass again? Once I'm on maintenance?
I am an amateur athlete so I have had to do a lot of testing of my blood sugar and ketones to know what type of exercise to be doing and what to be eating to support that. I have noticed that weight lifting does not significantly affect my blood glucose. So unless you are really doing a lot of it, I wouldn't worry about lifting weights.
The drop in BG was something I noticed with higher intensity exercising, such as cross country skiing and running. Other things like low intensity cycling and walking cause a rise in ketones and do not affect BG. It might depend on the person and how well they are adapted to the exercise. For some people, running might be a low intensity exercise especially if they are used to running marathons. I passed out briefly once in the grocery store after 1 hour of intense exercise and my blood glucose had dropped really low. But now I make sure to keep my ketones high to prevent that from happening. It seems to work, but I still think when your blood sugar drops you will still crave carbs. I notice I am not hungry when my blood ketones are high and my blood sugar is stable.
Some studies have shown that while, on average, people lose the same amount of weight on low-carb regardless of the type of exercise they do. HOWEVER, the subjects doing weight training and cardio lost much, much less muscle mass than the ones doing low-carb alone.
Volek and Phinney's The Art and Science of Low-Carbohydrate Living discusses the research.
I'm sure someone will chime in to suggest that you're currently losing fat and also gaining muscle - because someone says that to anyone who's not losing as much as they'd like. However, from what I've read, that only applies to beginners - and it doesn't sound like you are one. Later in their training, people alternate gaining mass and losing fat, because you can't do both at the same time indefinitely.
Rubidoux ~ DH and I have one day a week where we 'workout' hard. We both have to 'prep' for this day be eating extra fat the day before and the day of. If we do not we BOTH feel super hungry, like we are starving to death.
I also wanted to let you know, what DH's endo said about cutting back too much on the insulin. It goes with what Trillex posted, and depending on what your basal for the day is, might be part of the problem too. DH is on an insulin pump, and he has finally worked out a temp basal for while he is exercising that keeps him from dropping too low, and also keeps his body from metabolizing his lean muscle mass for energy.
What the endo said, was that in a non diabetic, when you eat, your pancreas secretes insulin. Later then, when your blood sugar drops, and you blood insulin levels drop, your liver reacted to the lower blood insulin levels by secreting glycogen from it's stores. Which in turn is balanced out by a small insulin secretion from your pancreas, and so on.
So in a type 1, lets say you start with a decent bs of 100. With some basal insulin in your blood. Then during exercise, your insulin levels drop as your body uses insulin to transport the sugar in your blood to your muscles. So now your blood insulin levels have dropped. You eat low carb, so you don't have a large store of glycogen in your liver. so your liver, will release what it has, BUT it will also begin the process of using lean muscle mass as well. (which probably ties in with what Trillex was posting about).
As your liver releases the glycogen, your bs comes up. But without enough new insulin in your bloodstream, you can't use this energy and your liver keeps detecting that you have low blood insulin levels and KEEPS trying to secrete more glycogen.
DH has worked out a temp basal (as he does need less insulin while exercising) of about 4/9ths of what his usual basal is. He still takes a regular bolus just before if he bs is higher than his target. He also has about 1/2 - 1 oz of peanuts about an hour into it, to keep his bs from getting low.
BTW, I am still so super grateful to have just 'met' you here, as you are were the inspiration for DH going low carb and it has been really wonderful for his health!
My exercise is my job, and I 'workout' for about 3 - 4 hours a day.It is mostly walking as fast as I can, except when I have a set of stairs, which I try to hit pretty hard to build muscle. I am sweating and breathing pretty good the whole time :D
One of the ways that creatine works is by pumping additional water into muscle cells, by "osmotically" drawing water from around the cell into the cell. This additional hydration in muscle cells helps with protein synthesis and recovery after workouts, which is why creatine is such a useful supplement. And the restriction of dietary carbohydrates depletes muscle glycogen, which dramatically reduces the level of muscle tissue hydration, so anything that raises the level of water in muscle tissue while glycogen is depleted could help support protein synthesis because water is absolutely vital to the muscle repair process that happens in response to weight training.
But insulin is the delivery hormone that transports creatine into the muscle cell. So creatine is typically taken with some form of carbohydrates, especially sugars, which raise blood glucose levels in a way that spurs insulin release. While dietary carbohydrates are restricted, insulin release may not rise to sufficient levels to act as the anabolic transport agent that carries creatine into muscle cells. Insulin's role in fat storage gets talked about a lot but insulin isn't just about "fat storage," insulin's job is "nutrient transport" so it also feeds muscle tissue. Protein on its own raises insulin levels -- especially whey protein which is one of the most insulinogenic protein products -- but if the protein is taken with fat, then the insulin response is significantly lower.
Bodybuilders who are *superstitious* about creatine and can't train without taking it, take alpha lipoic acid with their creatine supplements while they're eating a ketogenic level of carbs. But most of the competitive bodybuilders that I know don't take creatine on their nutritionally ketogenic days. They'll take creatine during "cyclical ketogenic diets" (CKD) on their high-carb re-feed days because, according to Lyle McDonald's Ulimate Diet 2.0, creatine enhances muscle glycogen super-compensation. But competitive bodybuilders will usually just drop creatine altogether while they're on "cutting" diets because creatine doesn't just pack water into muscle cells, it also contributes to some forms of water retention that are undesirable in bodybuilding, and it takes a minimum of 30 days to get rid of the excess creatine and water so they'll use the "cutting" cycle to drop their creatine water retention.
All of this is to say that creatine may not be doing the job that you want it to do while you're taking it in the low-insulin-release environment of a ketogenic diet. And that creatine contributes to water retention that could cause you to show a lower rate of pound loss at the start of a ketogenic diet because you may not drop pounds of water as rapidly as most dieters who shed their glycogen stores at the start of a very low-carb diet.
So, drop the creatine?
Should I still weight train, I'm just afraid of losing my current mass, I know I can't gain and lose fat at the same time.
I do intense cardio & weights 5 days per week. I started it 6 weeks before going low carb. I have not seen exercise kick me out of ketosis.
The only problem I had was bad cramps at the beginning because of water and electrolyte loss during induction while still exercising.
More importantly, as Bianca pointed out earlier in this thread, Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek (who is actually a bodybuilder) have done research on obese male subjects who weight trained while on a ketogenic diet and their results showed dramatic improvements in body composition as a result of the weight training intervention alongside their ketogenic diet.
With regard to creatine, some guys absolutely WON'T give up creatine on training days when they're on ketogenic diets, EXCEPT to drop excess water in the very last month before contests. Some people just feel *stronger* with creatine and they swear by it.
I know guys that take a supplement called "alpha lipoic acid" (ALA) when they take creatine during low insulin diet cycles, because ALA (theoretically) interacts with the enzyme "AMP-activated protein kinase" (AMPK) in a way that supports the "partitioning" of nutrients into muscle tissue by sensitizing muscle cells to the effect of insulin. So (theoretically) even small rises in insulin will have a greater effect on transporting nutrients into muscle tissue, which would mean that rises in insulin will preferentially feed muscle tissue rather than fat storage.
But I can't *recommend* that approach because I've never personally done it and I haven't read any reports or anything that legitimately demonstrates that this regimen is actually helpful. There may be some reports out there that I just haven't read -- I'm not *really* a bodybuilder, I'm just their *mascot* so my knowledge is somewhat limited.
Another approach that some guys use is to just mix the creatine with straight whey -- no fat -- and use that relatively slight insulin rise to transport the creatine into muscle tissue during the immediate period after workouts when insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue is heightened. But this is another thing about which I haven't read anything that demonstrates it actually works to effectively transport the creatine.
I don't know what your current level of bodyfat is but if you're below 15%, then you should be able to *squeeze* your muscles after a creatine load and see if you get the increased "hardness" from water being pushed into muscle tissue. If you don't get that "hardness" then the creatine probably isn't doing what you need it to do and it may actually be causing water retention in tissues where you *don't* want water to be held. So your best bet might be to just give it a try, then give yourself the *squeeze* test, and see if you (as an individual) are getting the water where you need it to be. If you can increase muscle hydration during your workouts while you're on a ketogenic diet, then you're helping your body's process of muscle protein synthesis.
The trade-off of this increased muscle tissue hydration, in terms of scale weight, would be water retention. But if you're more interested in recomposing your body with more lean tissue and less bodyfat, rather than simply losing water "weight," then the creatine shouldn't hurt you and might actually help you achieve your fat loss goals.
I should also mention that there is a theory that creatine loading contributes to continued glycogen storage, and makes it more difficult to deplete muscle glycogen because the supplement "creatine monohydrate" contributes to larger tissue concentrations of "phosphocreatine," which is used to synthesize "adenosine triphosphate," which feeds into an anaerobic metabolic fuel cycle that replenishes muscle glycogen even in the absence of dietary carbohydrates. But I think the level of glycogen replenishment through this pathway is relatively low. And weight training, on its own, feeds into the same anaerobic metabolic fuel cycle that replenishes muscle glycogen whenever you work the muscles hard enough to get the lactate *burn*. But I figured I should at least mention it.
I wish you good luck with whatever you do! And congratulations on getting some good training in and recomposing your body!
I think this is my current problem. I've ratcheted up my workouts in prepping for my first tri. Typically i do to two or three a days; combination of 1500+ yard swims, 3-4 mile runs, 20+ mile bike rides, and weight training. I'm killing myself physically but the scale isn't moving.
I'm torn with either reducing the frequency of my workouts in the hopes the scale responds, or keep doing what I'm doing and force the change. :venting:
Wow! This thread turned very interesting. :) I have been watching all day from my phone, thinking I'd give it all some thought and have time to reply when I got home... but now I only have a minute before we need to run out to karate. :) So... I may be missing some stuff I wanted to say, but I'll come back later.
Thank you, Trillex for the cortisol idea! I wonder if that is what happened. Whatever it was, it lasted a long time, like a week. Do you think that's possible? It normally does not take me long at all to get back to burning fat after I've had a cheat or something, but this may be all different.
Blue Skies, Sorry I was off base. I always assume that everyone is in better shape than I am. :) I don't think I know anything about your stats. For some reason I thought you were close to goal, though, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy for you to walk up a hill.
And sweetme, I'm happy it's working out for your hubby! I have been wondering how he was doing. I need to go back and study your post about why low insulin is a problem -- that's my main goal! -- other than losing weight and keeping my b/s down.
I have only recently begun to add in the gentlest of exercising, although the last time I lost this same 60 pounds I did it completely w/exercise---an hour a day, 6 times a week. Weights, cardio, kettlebell, kick box, HIT, dance, pilates, you name it, I did it. But that was 3 years ago, and I fell off that wagon, because I didn't love exercise enough to maintain it, and once I reached goal that way, I quickly discovered I did not want to do that amount of exercise to maintain.
So fade in fade out, I'm now really out of shape. While I don't love exercise, I do recognize its importance, and I do remember the good things about it. Hence my desire to add it in, in a gentler way that will work for me over the long haul.
In my exercise days of yore, I was very fueled by carbs, and I can't remember ever "bonking." And yes, I am finding that I can't push myself the way I did on carbs, w/out consequence, for where I'm at NOW. And it's hard to determine what portion of that is my being so out of shape, and what portion is my being older, and what portion is simply a matter of having to get used to exercising w/out the carb rush. It's all so darn individual, and I don't in any way believe vigorous exercise is not possible on a LC woe. I just think for me, it's going to take awhile to grow into. And I'm not pursuing it in the way I did before. It's a new page for me, gentler all around.
You sound a creatine sceptic, trillex. I've only been using it for 2 months, but since then I've been able to push myself that little harder those last few reps, and my strength has increased faster than before. Maybe its placebo, but whatever it is, it appears to be working. But since lc, I've not been training to gain anyway, I'm not eating enough to, more training to garner whether I'm losing strength/mass whilst lc'ing, plus I love the gym and exercise is better than no exercise whatever you're doing.
I might continue as I am until next weigh in, then drop the creatine and whey for 2 weeks and see if losses are greater without. I'm happy to restart the training when I'm down to my goal weight.
Marking my spot to read this very interesting thread later!

U.S. Could Be Pushed Into Debt Overload by the Treasury
Let's take a hypothetical example for perspective. Suppose the Treasury decided to fund half the federal debt with floaters. Currently, the average interest rate on the federal debt is 2.8%. This would lead to some immediate savings. However, what happens if rates jump -- which is not unreasonable given the Federal Reserve's balance sheet of $2.8 trillion, or 19% of GDP. The savings would be wiped out if rates rose to 2.8% (which by the way, is roughly today's inflation rate). If rates go to 4%, then the government has to come up with an extra $1 trillion to pay the extra interest they precommitted to. Do you think 4% rates are out of the question? I certainly don't.
The uncertainty about future interest service is what I call funding risk. The amount of cash needed is unpredictable. If interest rates rise, then extra interest service must come from: 1) higher taxes; 2) spending reductions; 3) more borrowing; or 4) printing money. Note that (4) usually causes rates to increase even more, leading to even higher service costs. (3) can have a similar effect.
Extending Maturity
Yes, FRNs extend maturity -- if they are replacing securities that have a shorter maturity. Suppose they replace Treasury bills. In this case, the interest rate risk is identical (both pay the Treasury bill rate). Suppose they replace fixed rate coupons. In this case, the interest rate risk changes. As rates go up, the FRNs become more expensive to service.The Treasury's February 2012 document is a good read. They make the case that there could be some cost savings in minimizing the rollover risk. That is, instead of going to market every three months for Treasury bills, you commit for a longer period, say, two or five years. They also argue there is a modest term premium that could be captured. If the FRNs are just two years to maturity, then not much additional risk is created. This is especially true today when the Federal Reserve is on record saying that rates will remain low through 2014. However, what makes me nervous is the phrase: "... eventually the Committee anticipates FRNs of longer final maturities."

News10NBC has a follow up to the water conservation alert in Seneca Falls.
If you live in the town, officials say you need to keep conserving water through the overnight into Friday. Crews are working toward lifting those restrictions.
Officials say you may still have cloudy or whitish colored water coming out of your taps. If that's happening to you, officials say avoid using the hot water and run cold water in one spot until its clear.
Officials say a water main break at the water treatment plant first cause the issue. The break has been repaired.

UC Davis - Nurse Residency - October 2012 - page 3
I'm starting this thread for anyone who has applied to the UC Davis Nurse Residency for October 2012. Good luck to us all!! :)... Read More
- 0Aug 1, '12 by starghadeerQuote from bbaileyRNUC Davis is starting to make calls for interviews! Ahhh!! I'm crossing my fingers & toes!
ooOhh thanks for the update! do you know which departments are calling/ hiring?
- 0Aug 1, '12 by starghadeeri don't see the comments that were made on facebook anymore. were they deleted or moved somewhere else?
nevermind. i think it was just a glitch. please ignore the comment above since i cannot delete the comment.
- 0Aug 3, '12 by ro'smomI just called the Nurse Recruitment office, and the woman on the phone said that they've finished screening the applicants and that they're working with the units to see which ones will take new grads. She said they haven't started making calls to schedule interviews yet, which is weird, because people are reporting having gotten calls! So perhaps her info isn't up to date. Apparently the guy in the know is ---------, who was out of the office when I phoned.Last edit by dianah on Aug 3, '12 : Reason: Terms of Service re: posting names
- 0Aug 3, '12 by Hire meHi everyone! I called HR and they said only a couple units are hiring. The nurse recruiter is still waiting to hear from some other units but this is going to be a small cohort. Only 6 spots for 600 applicants!! No calls have been made for interviewing yet, but calls should all be made by August 13th! Fingers crossed everyone! Good luck!

| This is in response to a letter in the Reminder, June 27, 2011 (Dobbs is wrong).
Romney was a lousy governor and he would be a lousy anything.
He is a Republican and their line-up of people for President is pathetic.
The Democrats went along with "Bushy" to get us involved in the Middle East because of the lies and deception of the Bush administration. The C.I.A. told them there was no cause to start hostilities there.
The Republicans are still supporting tax breaks to oil companies and people earning $200,000, and up, while the largest segment of our country is having a difficult time meeting everyday expenses and bills.
Anytime those carpetbaggers want to cut back on the deficit, it's the middle class that picks up the tab and services are reduced to the people who need it the most.
Their monetary transgressions in our society have gone on for a long time and are totally unacceptable.
The Republican ambiguous policies they suggest are just stalling tactics until 2012. If they suggest something and the President says, "OK, let's talk it over, it sounds good," they then say, they're against it.
They also have become masters at pretentious exaggerations of something that turned out well that they had nothing to do with.
The American voter has to become more astute to what is transpiring and encompass the entire equation of events so that they can sort out the degradation of present day politics, that have evolved into an ambiguous transcendence of trepidations.

I have heard whispers that it's going to be launched at the MMS 2012, if ture during April.
does sccm need the sql server on the same box? im wondering if the install problems im having are due to me trying to use a seperate sql server ?
@RabbieBurns - No the SQL Server can be on any box, just make sure that the remote SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections as this is what usually causes people the most headache's...
SQL can be hosted anywhere - Ive been running it against a cluster since install. On the 2012 front, can also substantiate the rumourings about MMS... there is lots and lots of talk about it.
Ok then I guess I am stuffing something up with my SQL install
Are you using SQL 2008R2 or 2008?
Are there any changes I need to make to the SQL install process that differ from the default?
Not sure if it works with 2008 R2, if using 2008 it needs to be at least SP2 and I think it needs a specific CU..
No change to the default install AFAIK, but as I said, you need to run the SQL Configuration tool or whatever its called to allow remote access from the SCCM Server
This might help -> How to enable remote connections in SQL Server 2008? - <dw:daniel_walzenbach runat="server" /> - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
(Sory I've been saying Remote Access, but its Remote Connections!)
thanks ill check it out. But thinking about it I was able to use the same SQL server to install SCVMM to wouldnt that require remote connections ?
yup as I thought, it was already enabled :(
What errors you getting?
Are all the relevant firewall ports are opened?
Also found this - How to Install Configuration Manager Using a Remote SQL Server
It's for SQL 2005, but it may still be useful for 2008 upwards.
Ive just created a new SQL instance on the SQL server using the default instance this time, and it seems to be letting me continue. Previously I was using a named instance.
Ill let you know how it goes tomorrow. Cheers.
OK, install is going fine against the default instance I created. I hadnt read anywhere that it wouldnt work with a named instance but Im guessing that was my problems all along.
Also, with the default install the collation was wrong I had to use this command to fix it:
Setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLServer /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=rabbieburns /SAPWD=supersecretpass /SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Is this for SCCM 2007 or 2012? I know SCCM 2012 is very picky about the SQL collation type, but didn't think 2007 was?
That's the fix you need to apply (or set it during installation) to get SQL 2008 R2 working with SCCM 2012. Shouldn't have any issue further from that.

In Frumer v. National Home Insurance Company,1 the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, held that arbitration was the exclusive remedy available to plaintiffs, pursuant to the terms of the plaintiffs' new-home buyer's warranty. The warranty at issue—which was a private warranty plan approved pursuant to the New Home Warranty and Builders' Registration Act2 (the "Act")—permitted the homeowners to elect at the outset whether to pursue a remedy for "workmanship/systems defect" claims under the warranty, or whether to pursue such claims through litigation. If a warranty claim is elected, the warranty plan states that disputes arising from a warranty claim are to be submitted to binding arbitration. The warranty further provides that arbitration is the exclusive remedy for a dispute over a "major structural defect" claim.
Although statutory new-home warranties issued pursuant to the Act permit homeowners to elect between either the warranty claim process or other legal remedies potentially available through litigation, approved private warranty plans—such as the one at issue in Frumer—need not provide an election of remedies and may limit the available remedy to arbitration.

I contacted the company and was sent a "replacement" (read "refurbished") phone and was told to mail back the defective instrument, using their label for USPS Come to find out, since they are not threatening to charge me the full new-phone cost since they haven't received my returned phone, that USPS (which offers no tracking numbers for prepaid postage) hands these off to UPS, which, according to the postmaster, frequently loses or misplaces for months such packages. "Customer Service" doesn't deviate from their script. They are sorry that they can do nothing since they have no record of the return... Yet, I followed their instructions precisely.

She was known for her gold medal in the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, which made her the youngest Olympic hammer champion, as well as for her two medals from the European Championships. Her personal best throw, and Polish record, was 76.83 metres, achieved in May 2007 in Doha. She died on the 18 February 2009 in Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal during a Polish national team training camp. She was born in Warsaw. Skolimowska first made herself known at age fifteen, when she won the hammer throw event at the 1997 European Junior Championships; the first time hammer throw was staged at the European Junior Championships. She was actually fourteen years and 264 days at the time, and had become Polish national champion and record holder the year before. Her personal best in 1997 was 63.48 metres. She improved her personal best to 66.62 metres in 1999.

The CSNI workshop on Testing PSHA Results and Benefit of Bayesian Techniques for Seismic Hazard Assessment will be held from 4-6 February 2015 in Pavia, Italy, hosted by EUCENTRE and coordinated by OECD/NEA and IAEA. This first announcement is to inform you of this event and call for papers to be submitted for presentation at the workshop.
More information will be available at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/calendar.html.
The objective of this workshop is to foster exchanges between geologists, seismologists, statisticians and engineers so as to share experiences in progress related to developments in testing the methodologies of probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA) and the benefits of Bayesian techniques applied to seismic hazards. The goal is to address the current status of the regulatory arena, identifying and recommending good practices for member countries and exploring future research and development (R&D) to be developed on this topic.
In recent years, increasing efforts have been devoted to the assessment of the reliability of PSHA results. Different kinds of procedures have been tested and many papers have provided useful information on this subject.
Consistent with the pattern of previous CSNI workshops, the deliverables and expected results will be the following:
Learning from others is the key to success and progress. Information obtained from this workshop should give crucial understanding and interpretation of potential differences or discrepancies, including proposing approaches to address them.
Considering the high uncertainties in Seismic Hazard Assessment and the importance of PSHA results for seismic design and cost, it is very important to raise the issue of consistency-checking of the PSHA results. In 2008, the OECD/NEA (OECD Nuclear Energy Agency) in cooperation with the IAEA organised a workshop on Recent Findings and Developments in PSHA: Methodologies and Applications (OECD/NEA, 2008). The main objective was to review recent research, and regulatory and industry issues associated with PSHA. Two main recommendations were addressed:
In the last decade, several approaches to the testing of PSHA results have been published, and several experiences applied the Bayesian technique to update the PSHA models. Also, several recent opinion papers are encouraging hazard analysis to carry out tests and applications that have been done in different countries (United States, New Zealand, Italy and France). The techniques rely on various statistical assumptions. Any testing technique must cope with the observation time windows available. Considering the observation time window in seismology testing (~100 years at maximum for instrumental networks, and several centuries for historical data) at the return periods of interest in engineering seismology is a real challenge. Recent literature shows that PSH models can be evaluated using different types of observations, such as intensities, synthetic accelerations (converted from intensities or predicted from an earthquake catalogue), true accelerations recorded at instrumented sites or maximum observed acceleration levels based on precarious fragile structures.
The workshop will include an introductory session, technical sessions devoted to technical presentations by participants on the topics outlined in the objectives (§2) and a final session. The final session will summarize the discussions and develop conclusions and recommendations for possible further actions by the CSNI. All the participants are expected to take part in the discussion and in the formulation of conclusions in the final session.
Papers and case studies addressing the issues mentioned in the objectives (§2) are welcomed. Several sessions with ample time for discussion on these topics will be defined accordingly.
As is usual with OECD/NEA workshops, participation is open to experts from regulatory authorities and their technical support organizations, research organizations, NPP owners and operators, NPP designers and vendors, and industry associations and observers from OECD/NEA member countries. Nominations should be made through the WGIAGE Technical Secretariat. Those wishing to make a presentation at the workshop should submit an abstract with their preliminary registration form.
The meeting is opened to a small number of experts from partner countries. The participation of these experts will be arranged by the WGIAGE Technical Secretariat.
Participants should fill in the attached registration form and send it to the WGIAGE Technical Secretariat:

Thread: Help! clomid questions?
Help! clomid questions?
Ok girls so my Ob started me on 50 mg of clomid to start me off. But she kind of scared me when she said that it can cause rupture of ovarian cysts? My husband and I are going to Jamaica in a month and 12 days ( Im not counting or anything! HA!) and one of my worst fears is getting sick in a foreign country. Should I hold off for ANOTHER month or two or do you think it would be safe to take this round and then it would be out of my system by then? I just don't know, when the doctor said that, I had no clue it would do that. So my mind kind of froze and I forgot to ask her this? So what do you girls think, has this ever happened to any of you? And if it makes me feel terrible (GI troubles) will that go away by the end of the cycle as well? I just am a little nervous about all this, please give me your experiences with clomid to ease my mind! Thanks girls!Me (29)Hidden Content DH (40)Hidden Content

Obviously I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you about my first experience with Clomid. I took it days 3-7, 50 mg (I have a normal BMI but don't ovulate on my own except a couple of months after I get off birth control). I ovulated on CD 11. On CD 11 I got terrible diarrhea and the next day I felt terribly bloated. Other than that I wasn't too uncomfortable and by the end of the cycle I felt normal again. Do you have any reason to believe you're prone to ovarian cysts (other than having PCOS, of course)? I mean, have you gotten a large cyst before? I personally would take it this month and not the month you're going to Jamaica. We're taking a vacation next month (eastern Europe so probably not the same hospital situation as Jamaica has) and it I don't get pregnant this month I'm not going to take Clomid next month. Maybe I'll ovulate anyway!
Good luck with whatever you decide!

Like PP said, I can't tell you what to do, but here is my experience with clomid. I've done one medicated round, CD 5-9. I had a really bad headache the second day I took it and later on in my cycle I had wicked hot flashes! I have several cysts on both of my ovaries and I didn't have any pain at all to indicate one had ruptured. Good luck to you in your decision!Ashley (27) DH Hidden Content (30)

The only things that ruptured on my clomid cycles were big follicles with healthy eggs. My only side effect was hot flashes, they were the worst while taking the pills but came and went afterwards. If you're CD1 today and take it this cycle I don't think it'll be a problem for you in 6 weeks.
What I'd be thinking more about is how comfortable you would be going to Jamaica if you get pregnant this cycle. If you ovulate in roughly 2 weeks you'd be 4 weeks pregnant there (6 weeks if you go by LMP). Would you be OK going there that early in your pregnancy? There's no right or wrong answer, I won't judge either way, and there's no guarantee it'll work the first time around. BUT... if it does... what do you think?
Where in Jamaica are you going? I went to Ocho Rios about 3.5 years ago. DH and I were not really trying then but thought a Jamaica souvenir would be cool. Didn't happen for us but it was probably for the best.Justine (33) Hidden Content DH (34)

I did get pretty bloated and crampy and was pretty uncomfortable from the week before o until the end of the cycle. I don't think I would want to be on clomid while iconography vacation to be honest.

So far this clomid cycle has been uneventful for me as well, and I think a Jamaican vacation would really help your chances! I'd think a relaxing vacation month would be an ideal time for an unmonitored medicated cycle if that's your next step.7/09 BFP! met - Soy - Soft cups - born 3/26/10 - 7lbs 5oz no pain meds!

Girls, thanks so all your input! I really don't know what I would do with out you girls, I probably would be freaking out most of the time! HA! Anyway, I am going to start the clomid this month and see what happens. If I do fine with it this month then I will think about taking it next month as well. So I am just kind of testing the waters so to speak. I am going to start today so here to hopin! Thanks so much girls!
