Damien Boath | 927 | This week we revisit an oldie but a goodie: USA Vs Aussie slang! Way back in Episode 11 we played a game to guess what the slang terms meant and we've decided to have another round of it. We're also going to look at why we shorten words (diminutive) and how some "short" words are just as long as the word we are trying to shorten. To help us get our head around it we have @101833715717140625047 along for the ride to explain it for us and to see how well she can guess some of my Australianisms...... All this and more on The Newbie Writers' Podcast! | The Newbie Writers' Podcast #132 - Diminutive Slang With Grammar Girl! | 2014-05-10 01:00:00 | 2 | |
Ray Ortega | 2,326 | What do you do if someone promotes your podcast but you don't necessarily agree with their content? Do you care? Is there such a thing as "bad press?" At any time, someone can share your content with their own audience be it a simple word-of-mouth mention or sharing your logo, content, or promo. But what if your personal beliefs or brand don't align with theirs? Do you worry that you'll be seen as associated with their brand or is any promo, good promo?

We'll chat with our guest for 15 minutes and then up the show to everyone in our Google+ Circles in the "Hangover". You can ask your questions directly, and by all means bring your own beer!

Matthew Trotter | 63 | Okay. I've been collecting shared #writer / #reader circles for the past week or so, and I thought I'd share our combined efforts. Of course, G+ only allows you to share 500 people at a time, so this isn't a complete list, but it's pretty substantial.I've had a blast talking to and getting to know all of you over this past week or so. I've laughed, learned, and loved—a lot. I hope this circle will provide you the same pleasure that it has provided me.And just because you don't see yourself doesn't mean you're not in my circle. Like I said, there's a 500 person sharing limit. Still, if there's any doubt, you can ask to be added. I'm more than happy to.Much writerly love and salud,MattP.S.

Mike Elgan | 838,797 | First League graduate: +Tony Hawk!The purpose of my League of Extraordinary Circle Friends circle is to put you in touch with great people to circle, but people who have circle counts far below what they should be. My rule is that once a League member reaches the 100k-circles level, I take them out of the shared circle. People with that many followers will be easily discovered without being in my League circle. When I first circled Tony just a few short weeks ago, he had only a few thousand followers. But as he always does on a skateboard, he's soaring to new heights on Google+ at very high speeds. ; ) Congratulations, Tony! You're my first League "graduate"!The next graduate will probably be +Chris Brogan.(Note that those of you who have circled the League will continue to have Tony in your circles. I will continue to keep him circled as well, but in a non-shared circle.)* * * | 2012-03-13 00:40:10 | 28 | 30 | 4 | 53 | |

iVue case replaces your iPod's hard outer shell
With all the iPod cases out there it's getting hard to stand out in the crowd. The iVue Crystal Case from iPodMods doesn't try to compete with all those other cases. It aims to make them unnecessary. the iVue is a see-through shell that replaces the entire front of your iPod, showing off your iPod's internals iGuts. It will come in clear as well as several translucent colors. Although there's no info on the iPodMods site right now, the cases are expected to be available for video iPods and iPod nanos before the end of the year, with additional iPod models supported soon after and pricing is expected to be $20-$35 with free installation when you ship your iPod off to them. Hopefully there will be a self-install option as well, but there's no mention of that so far
I don't know about you, but I am digging the naked iPod concept. Clear is the new black.

Dragolj Code
Dragolj Code | |
Created | 1259 |
Location | National library of Serbia |
Author(s) | Dragolj |
Dragolj Code or Miscellany by Dragolj (Zbornik popa Dragolja) is a 1259 Serbian Orthodox manuscript by Serbian priest Dragolj (Presbyter Vasilije). It is written in the Old Serbian with characteristics of Zeta and Hum dialects. The code contains the "Adaptation of Kozma`s Sermon against Bogomils".[1][2]
It was found in 1875 by a P. Srećković in a Serbian village in Albania kept by a Serbian Orthodox priest. In 1902, the manuscript was obtained by the Minisry of Education for the National Library of Serbia. It disappeared during evacuation and retreat of the Serbian Army in the World War I in 1915. It was returned with the 13th-century Belgrade Prophetologion to the National Library after being purchased from the Federal Republic of Germany in 1969.

Dear Brother Dominguez:
Great site! I read your section on the Mormons, and it was hilarious!
Batten down the hatches and circle the wagons, because the anti-Mormons
are just going to HATE you for making them look so silly. You crammed
more inaccuracies into those few paragraphs than all but the wildest of
them, and yet you made it look almost serious. Keep up the good work!
By the way, what ward do you belong to?
Best wishes,
Dan Peterson

Presenting the Model of the Year: Miranda Kerr
Choosing this year's model of the year was no easy feat — hello, have you seen the stunning nominees? Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, Cara Delevingne, and Alessandra Ambrosio all battled it out for the top spot, but alas, there can only be one who reigns supreme. And we're excited to reveal that it's Miranda Kerr! Just one look at her portfolio this year, and it's not hard to see why she nabbed the win. From sexy Victoria's Secret ads to high-end editorials to envious street style, Miranda had us doing double takes all year long. To celebrate this mega accomplishment, we've rounded up her hottest editorials, as well as some equally awesome spreads, courtesy of her very qualified competition.

- Munya Kabba asked a question:Can the books, "The Invention of Africa" and the "Idea of Africa" provide insight that enable African overcome its crisis-ridden conditions?
The Invention of Africa, and the Idea of Africa are books by Mudimbe, an African scholar that is becoming popular. On learning that his work takes the postmodern perspective of Michel Foucault, a great French scholar, I have felt the need to ask if a work inform by such perspective can provide the much needed insights to resolve Africa's crisis conditions in the realm of political, social and economic development.
Following - Ronald Moule added an answer:How can Foucault's notion of 'Heterotopia' be connected to the idea of 'Margins'?
Foucault defined heterotopia as "places that do exist and that are formed in the very founding of society which are something like counter-sites, a kind of effectively enacted utopia in which the real sites, all the other real sites that can be found within the culture, are simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted" (1986, 3). I am working about the theatrical space as an heterotopia in which narratives of identity (and contestation of identity) can be performed and I would like to now the connections with the notion of 'margins' as I understand that an heterotopia is also a 'place for Otherness' (Hetherington 1997)
Ronald Moule · University of SunderlandFoucault's distinction could be one that pre-locates certain spaces as prior to socialisation, thus relatively immune to contestation. In terms of theatre space, in cinema theory much has been done regarding spectatorship using freudian notions of fetishism, feminist analysis of gender; similarly in theatre, women have re-theoriosed space, but mainly in working practice. You might look at Kristeva's idea of chora, together with other psychoanalytic, and largely lacanian notions, but reading Jakobson could be inspiring. Certainly I have used that in working with actors. Early examples from psychoanalysis such as Ferenczi and Freud himself of course worked on Aphasia and "Speaking in tongues": Happy to talk this over with you. Good luck
Following - Flemming Bjerke added an answer:Did Foucault identify all the body technologies of power/knowledge?In his earlier works Foucault described two disciplinary technologies of the body that associated power and knowledge (within institutions such as the school, prison and hospital). The 'gaze' produced power by observing subjects, while the 'archive' created a repository of these observations, organised in terms of constructed categories (for instance, of diseases, bodies, genders, crimes etc) that allowed power to be exercised strategically and differentially. These together also provide the foundation of modernist research and science.
His later works turned to technologies of the self, and is replete with examples such as the confessional or codes of sexual behaviour, along with the broader process of 'responsibilism' (making subjects responsible for their actions) that is a feature of (neo) liberal society.
The secondary Foucauldian literature on disciplinary body technologies seems simply to offer further examples of the gaze and/or archive. My question is, are there other (as yet) unidentified technologies of bodies (as opposed to the self)?Following - Zoe Alford added an answer:What does the French word "discible" mean?Are there any Foucault scholars out there? I'm hoping someone can explain what the word "discible" means. Foucault uses this word in the following sentence: "The Visible was neither Dicible nor Discible"(Birth of the Clinic, p. 60). The original French reads: "Le Visible n'etait pas Dicible, ni Discible". Dicible seems to mean "speakable" or perhaps "able to be put into words". There is a nuance here I suspect, but can anyone help with the translation of "discible"?Thank you for making this clearer Nick. Yes, I think we can justifiably conclude that discible = discourse-able, using Foucault's conception of the word "discourse". This makes sense. This question is now solved to my satisfaction.
I'm so grateful to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. It's amazing to think that we are on different sides of the world, but that we can have such a conversation.
Nick, thanks for your p.s. I just know I'll be calling on your clear thinking again! :DFollowing - Nick J Fox added an answer:Why are automating technologies "liberating" when classical sociologists speak of doom?I'm currently researching technological automation in British agriculture and I am failing to see why the theories of "mechanisms of power" or an "iron cage" don't correlate with the high amounts of techno-optimism expressed by farmers? Is it false consciousness or false sociology?Nick J Fox · The University of SheffieldDear James
This is an interesting question. I am guessing from your summary that you have conducted empirical research and found that farmers regard automation as liberating and offering promise for the future?
Before I try to address this, just worth noting that when Weber talked about an 'iron cage' it was in relation to the social relations and economics of capitalism, that forces people to work for a living (Protestant Ethic, page 181). Yes he was talking about industrialisation, but it was the rationalisation of working life and bureaucracy rather than technology that created this iron cage.
Beyond Weber there is a broader sociological tradition that has seen technology as de-skilling work (the 'proletarianisation of everyone'). Taylorism and Fordism in factory work are the prime examples here. In Taylorism, a skilled job is split into a series of components, with one worker responsible for each: these sub-tasks are repetitive and offer little opportunity for creativity. In Fordism, work is mechanised to the extent that workers have to work at the speed of the production line, again leading to workers being alienated from their work. Of course, for Marx, this alienation derived from the social relations of capitalism, which meant that workers had to sell their labour power in order to survive.
Now I suspect that for farmers, these social relations are different. Many will be self-employed, and will be seeking to maximise their income. Technology represents a means to do just this: think how much grain can be gathered by a combine harvester as opposed to a scythe! Technology also reduces the costs of employing a workforce; where one machine can do the work of ten people, the wage bill is slashed. Offset against that of course is the capital outlay and the cost of diesel!
So I wonder if this is why your respondents are optimistic. I live next to a farm, and they just love their tractors and automated gadgets to do all the tasks that would take ages to do without technology. When I am cutting my lawns, I envy them their huge mowers that could do my lawns in about ten minutes.
Does this throw any light on the issue?
NickFollowing - Alfonso Ballesteros added an answer:What is the link between Arendt's and Foucault's appeal to Kant in order to discuss concepts inherited from XIX th.century ?Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault appealed to Kant's latest writings in order to ground their idea of modernity as an attitude as well as the human possibility of thinking without universal patterns that ordered judgments about human events. The Aufklarung is meant to be at Kant's writings" What is Auflarung" and "Crirtique of Judgement" the beginning of a particular political thought which was discontinued during XiX th. and half of XX th centuryFollowing
- Flemming Bjerke added an answer:It is possible to cross the hermeneutic Ricoeur selfhood and self-care in Foucault?In the final stages of the thought of both authors, the ethical is evident. However, it is possible to cross hermeneutical around as different thoughts, but they are in their concern for the subject?Following
- Jeffrey Tallane added an answer:Is it possible to establish connections between Ricoeur hermeneutics and Foucault?I'm worried about hermeneutic relations of these thinkers in relation to language, metaphor and discourse.Jeffrey Tallane · Université Libre de Bruxelles1. Kant noticed in his Critique of Pure Reason that the "world" is not a simple object as its concept can't be related to a possible experience, contrary to your exemple of "something behind the wall" where experience is a priori possible as it happens within a world as its condition... It's important as the two objects - world and something behind the wall - work on completely different levels. I know it was just a metaphor, but it could miss something important in the problem if it isn't developed. It is interesting that int the Critique of Judgement, Kant shows the interesting process of "symbolic hypotyposis" (analogy) for metaphysical objects that are necessary presupposed as conditions of experience (world, liberty, god...) but for which there are no possible intuition. Hence, those objects can only be determined, hence thought, through the schematic process that occur with mundane objects (something behind the wall).
But then you get a new problem : how can we determine which analogy fits best? For Kant, following what is said in his first critique, and a clear division of faculties, such a concept is only correct for a negative use as a simple word to let us say our ignorance. More to say, a kantian answear would be something like : " according to the theoric use of our reason such a question is impossible to aswer, unless you deal with a problem of practical reason". You may not know anything about those metaphysical objects unless you want to justify the way you act in the world...
This point was precisely hardly criticised by thinkers like Nietzsche as those analogies, the manner of discriminating good or bad uses of analogies and the way a thinker makes them work in moral or political affairs, have positive effect on lives at different times of history. For Nietzsche, it means that Kant's philosophy is far from being neutral. Not to mention that Kant confesses in the very begining of the Critique of Pure Reason that his aim is to make morality possible. Precisely the idea of a necessary transcendantal a priori, which seemed obvious for a whole group of german philosophers during the XIXth, became very suspicious for thinkers like Nietzsche or Karl Marx because it induces the idea that a "world behind our construction" could play the role of a stumbling block for our imperfect and finite construction. But who will be the truth teller about this backworld? As Marx said about Hegel's philosophy : such a story walks "upside-down". In the same way, Nietzsche criticised philosophers who committed metalepsis errors by inverting causes and effects (for instance: considering the subject as the origin of action,...).
When I question such a "world behind the world", the responses you get are always related to a specific constructions. So the suspicion rose up that such a presupposition of a world behind ou constrruction served to impose a form of life, behaviours, new instincts... Why should one specific construction be the real one? Not to say that Foucault's last courses on Le Courage de la Vérité and the differents modes of saying the truth as a manner for a "critical ontology of the present" were directly linked to this problem! Why should we still continue to practice philosophy as if such suspicions didn't exist? That's why, instead of searching for truth that could resolve a problem, Nietzsche required the courage of facing the problems. And in the same way, Foucault made a "history of problematizations", meaning how problems rose and how they were repressed under problematic solutions that then became obvious. A genealogist has to give importance to the problems, the conflictual ground on which a solution, hence a power relation, arose... Its discourse is necessary partial, it can hardly reclaim a universal validity! The struggle is local, particular, related to your own practices.
That's why concerning the link between a necessity of "world beyond our construction" and the subject-object metaphysics, I only ask : what's the status of this world behind the construction? how does it work? who does this construction belongs to? how do you link this world, the construction and the "our" to which this construction is referred? who pretends that such a backworld is necessary? how are you sur this necessity isn't a particulary weakness due to a misstated problem that is generalised?
Not to say again that in my opinion there is also an interesting problem to develop with the complex notion of "world" as it doesn't mean the same if you refer to the homogenous world of physical laws (Welt), the qualitative world of a living being (Umwelt) or the direct environment you live in (Umgebung), only to take the three classical distinctions from von Uexkull's ethological practice.
2. As I mentioned, Foucault was only concerned with practices that didn"t reach the "seuil de formalisation" (mathematics, physics, etc). And Les Mots et les Choses makes a deep critique of such a pretention in human sciences, a bit like what Georges Canguilhem did with biology and medical sciences (who was also Foucault's Ph.D director for "Folie et déraison, histoire de la folie à l'âge classique" and who inspired his early work). That's why it seems very strange to me when people induce a vulgar relativistic stand inf Foucault : if there are no universals, then everythings has the same value. I think Foucault would more say that there are no universals without universalisations, hence without discursive practaces making a world with a set of particular experiences. Within these experiences some reach this "seuil de formalisation", which doesn't imply that it won't change because of a new discovery (as you can see in the history of sciences). The problem is that there are also other forms of discursive practices that reclaim the same authority but whose modes of truthtelling don't rest on the ability to resist to new problematic experiments but on repression of any possible problematic element. But the mode of testing is specific to a practice of knowledge. Foucault's genealogic practice doesn't consist in giving readmy-made or fast thinking solutions but in reintroducing problems ("l'histoire des problématisations") where people tend to consider somr solutions as obvious or necessary. As Foucault once said: "du possible, sinon j'étouffe!" I think there is no foucaldian solution to metaphysical problems but manners of problematizing their importance in the way we think some practical problems! "Se déprendre de soi-même", as Foucault often said, becoming different!
For instance I personally think it is stupid to pretend to understand a living being like a cat if you only consider the atomic interactions that constitute this living being, because then you only negated the singularity of it as a cat. The existence of a mouse or the height of my desk has no importance for an atom but it has a lot for a cat. The problem is that we made a worldview (Welt) out of some particular experiences that reached the "seuil de formalisation". But from this result, we thought such a way of thinking could be generalised to all modes of existence, hence it became a way of lowering the importance of a knowledges. If we look at other sciences like biology, ethology our chemistry, why didn't they impose themselve as such a worldiew? Even economy is now ruled with such a physicist mode of thinking inducing the presupposition of a sort of social atomism. But those discourses on truth also have concrete effects on our lives as it induce representations of ourself, manners of describing our situation. But it also serves to discriminate between discourses, saying what is important and what is not in decision making. So, the seriousness given to a form of discourse rises the influence and the importance given to some experts who get the ability to tell the truth in the place of citizens and some of their representatives who are supposed to be concerned with the decisions that are made about them but whose form of discourse don't fit the new normalized standards! Not to talk about the suspicious division made between political, economic and social phenomenons, and the new govrnmentality Foucault saw rising very early during his course on ordoliberalism and neoliberalism in 1978-1979...Following - Dirk Albrecht added an answer:Foucault's subjectivityMy thesis is on Foucault's subjectivity.

Do you know of any useful literary theory books on the topic?Dirk Albrecht · Universität Bremen@ Nasrin Babaee: Sorry, I don't know anything about theater, so I can't say what the quality of the relation is.Following
- Jeffrey Tallane added an answer:I am working on Foucault and the notion of critique. Has any work been done (except Beatrice Han's) in this area?To understand this notion better, I am trying to show that while there are shifts in his career, one still can find a continuity. This continuity for me is the relation between four elements Visibility, Articulation, Subject, History. In archaeological period the convergence of relations is Articulation, in Genealogical period Visible and in Ethical period Subject. I would be very grateful to hear about any ideas you have about this relation.Jeffrey Tallane · Université Libre de BruxellesMichel Foucault, « Qu'est-ce que la critique ?

Am I the only one to be forcibly reminded of Kuhn? Were Kuhn and Foucault seperated at birth? WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!!!!
His general account seems acceptable to that general position both Haris and I would accept. Nonetheless, Foucault betrays a very nineteenth century vision of Science (even more than Kuhn, who seems blocked in the early 20th century).
To my eyes, Foucault's error is his "engagement", which is made manifest in his thinking in a most unlovely tendency towards prescription rather than description... "améliorisme", as we say in France (or as we SHOULD say).
So, my first comment - is social engagement a reprehensible trait in a philosopher?
My answer is rather a case of crying off... there's no point in re-opening the analytic/continental debate here....
I'd suggest deleting the initial messages and relaunching the discussion.Following - Flemming Bjerke added an answer:Is, therefore, prison the body of the soul?Or is it rather the soul of the body?

Yup, I messed around with the photo to make it look slightly more like a picture from 1965.

Lauren Conrad and William Tell in West Hollywood | Photos
Will The Hills Air Lauren Conrad's Alternate Ending With Brody Jenner?
Lauren Conrad and her boyfriend, William Tell, ran errands together in West Hollywood yesterday. They popped up just as MTV announced that it will be rerunning episodes of Laguna Beach and The Hills all Summer, starting on Monday, July 8. The network also confirmed that it will air an alternate ending to The Hills on Friday, Aug. 9. In case you need a refresher, the original series finale showed Kristin Cavallari saying goodbye to Brody Jenner and leaving Hollywood. Once Kristin drove away, the camera panned out and showed that the entire ending had been staged and took place on a set, a nod to the scripted scene rumors that surrounded the show's final seasons. While Lauren didn't take part in The Hills' finale, Brody revealed to MTV in 2010 that he did film an alternate ending with Lauren back when the show wrapped. He said, "In one of the other endings [that we filmed], Lauren was in it. She had come back into the show for the last episode. I come back home and basically Lauren's at my place . . . and we filmed this whole kind of lovey-dovey scene." However, Brody also admitted that the cast and crew filmed multiple endings, so Lauren may not be in the alternate scene that MTV airs in August.
While LC and Brody may have ended up together in one version of The Hills, she appears to be very happy with her current beau, William. Lauren told Marie Claire magazine earlier this month that William is "good" for her and that "he understands a lot of things that people don't always get."

This topic seems to be cropping up a lot around here, lately.
Birdie wrote a blog about it.
(Update: Birdie retired her personal page when she became DR_BIRDIE. There were some real gems among her blog posts. You can read her newer "official" posts here:
WALKWITME wrote a blog about it.
Nancy Howard wrote a blog about it.
We've been collecting information about it at my regional spark team page.
I believe this is the single biggest problem with weight loss, and too few discuss it. I think SP would be an excellent place to disseminate the scientific findings from groups like the team managing the NWCR. I would like to see a whole system set up for tracking maintenance on Spark People that is as visible as the weight loss.
After the initial loss a person is not even halfway "done." I suspect that there needs to be training in maintenance mentality before someone even gets to goal weight. I'm trying to train myself in this, now, so that when I get to goal I will have the hard realistic view I need in order to manage my maintenance, long-term.
I lost over 100 lbs in my 20s through diet and exercise and gained it all back plus a lot more. This time I am playing for keeps, because I will NOT go down this road again. I simply refuse. I've seen what can happen - from the inside - and I WILL NOT go there again.
To that end I've been drawing on all the resources I have, including my skill at reading the scientific literature (I'm a research scientist by trade). I am attempting to prepare myself mentally for what I consider the REALLY hard fight, the one that will come AFTER the loss, the fight of maintenance.
There are a lot of reasons why maintenance is harder. It's not flashy - you're not changing in appearance, so there aren't all those nice external encouragements from other people noticing. In fact, as time goes by, the people who meet you after the loss often have no idea where you've come from. To them you've always looked fit. It's tedious to log food and activity. The temptation to relax is strong, because you already do look and feel good; there isn't the pain of plantar fasciitis or the embarrassment of chairs with arms or airplane seatbelt extenders to remind you of why you're doing this.
When's the last time you saw a media story celebrating someone having maintained a large weight loss? Exactly. They don't, because it's not news, and it's not exciting, and won't sell commercials.
I've been combing the literature for articles about maintenance of weight loss and found a nice 2009 one written by the team behind the national weight control registry
This paper (which is written a bit more with the lay reader in mind) summarizes statistically significant predictors for successful weight loss maintenance.
Here they are:
1) longer duration of weight loss maintenance (more than 2 years)
2) dietary consistency
3) less fast food consumption
4) less TV viewing
5) more frequent breakfast consumption
6) lower levels of depressive symptoms and dis-inhibited eating
Key behaviors identified as associated with weight loss maintenance in the article are:
1) activity levels of over 200 minutes per week (at least for women in the cited study)
2) high levels of dietary restraint, such as:
- a) deliberately taking small helpings
- b) avoiding certain foods
- c) counting calories
3) having lower levels of depressive symptomology
4) controlling overeating
They suggest that keeping contact with maintainers is important for continued maintenance if the loss was facilitated by a program of some kind.
An earlier paper by the same team says that one of the best predictors of weight loss maintenance is to have maintained the loss for 5 years. So once I get to my goal I am going to think about it like cancer. I will stay vigilant and won't consider myself "done" or "fat free" until I've maintained for 5 years.
I will celebrate every month that I've maintained on a countdown to 5 years (60 months).
Statistically, 5% of people who lose a large amount of weight manage to keep it off. That 5% is made of real, live people, living real lives somewhere out there. I am going to do everything in my power to be one of them.
All this points to the need to remain active in places like SparkPeople for many years after reaching goal levels. Which is probably good anyway, because it helps encourage the people just starting out, too.
P.S. There's also a really nice 2005 paper reviewing weight management behaviors by a pair of Swedish scientists:
P.P.S. Here's a nice USA TODAY article from 2005 about weight maintenance:
P.P.P.S. RAYLINSTEPHENS reminded me that the chapter on weight maintenance in the Hacker's Diet is excellent:
There is a Spark Team for people using the Hacker's Diet tracking tools:
P.P.P.P.S. RUSSLANE has a site he runs, focused specifically on articles about maintenance. It's well worth checking out:
P.P.P.P.P.S. There are some detractors to the NWCR, although they may be misinterpreting the data (see ELISADEL's comment):

A clue to maintenance is keeping portion control in mind, keeping exercise as a regular part of my life and being as patient with myself as I was during losing.

Great resources, thanks for paving the way! I'm going to need good resources for maintenance in the not too distant future - hopefully some time next year!
What I have found helpful on my way there is practicing a mindset like this: To not do anything to lose weight that I couldn't do every day for the rest of my life. Teaching myself new habits and un-learning my old bad ones instead of being on a diet creating a new "normal" for myself. It's a slow process, and I realise that it's a lifelong process, but I also hope it is a sustainable one.
I haven't been losing weight before so I don't know if I'll be one of the successful 5%, but I aim to be, and I aim to always be aware and not slip into denial again.

Very good points! I actually didn't catch that.
Not surprising, though, given that Eades' opinions are listed in a blog rather than a peer-reviewed journal. LOL
Maybe I'll move it to the bottom of the list...

Thank you for putting all of this together, very interesting stuff!
I have some serious doubts about the value of the Michael Eades blog, unfortunately.
He says:
"If you analyze these figures something interesting comes to light. 87.6% of successful maintainers (the NWCR database) lost their weight by restricting certain foods, i.e., fat, carbohydrate or protein. No one really restricts protein; it�s always fat or carbohydrate. According to the above data, 25% of the people lost their weight by counting fat grams) a low-fat diet), so subtracting this from the 87.6% means that 62.6% of them must have counted carbs, which, I�m sure, was a bitter pill for ol� Jim to swallow. And is no doubt why it�s reported as it is, i.e., in such a way that it has to be dug out instead of presented directly."
That's "restricting certain foods" but he immediately interprets that to mean "restricting certain macronutrients".
I haven't personally seen the NWCR questionnaires to know whether the original questions are phrased in a way that implies that restricting foods means that you're restricting fat, carbohydrates, or protein instead of... you know... actually restricting FOODS.
Were I a person who just could not be around Oreos and could not eat one Oreo without trying to gobble up an entire bag, so I kept Oreos out of my house entirely, and someone said "Did you lose weight by restricting certain foods?" I would say "Yes, absolutely".
Unless there's something in a piece of context he didn't include, or in the way the questions in the original forms are phrased that I'm not seeing to justify the interpretation (entirely possible, but I'd have thought he'd cite that context to back up his point if so), it really gives the impression that Dr. Eades is so eager to look for something he can jump on that he didn't consider what it actually says and just ran with what he wanted it to say.

Good info, thanks for sharing it with us!

You are so right! I always thought weight loss business' like Weight Watchers didn't do much with maintenance because it was financially more lucrative to keep you needing to pay for their services. SparkPeople is free and while the friend support is phenomenal, you are right that it's so tempting to backslide on tracking nutrition and fitness. Maybe some additional incentives for us maintainers would be beneficial! Thanks for addressing this!

Thx for summarizing, re-visiting and sharing NCWR's insights and findings!
Maintaining is tricky, treacherous territory...we need to be SO careful...as I've found during some recent travels and backslides...back to SPARKIN' away again, though!
I've been a member of NCWR and HIGHLY recommend anyone here at SP to join if you are able. There is much that we can contribute to their research and findings which in turn can benefit ourselves and others!

Very fascinating information. Though I haven't reached the maintenance spot yet, definitely something to bear in mind!

YUP, been "at goal" too many times to even count. NEVER maintained. Like you though this time yes, it will be different. This time I am not losing weight, I am working at getting healthier. No maybe it is just a fancier way of saying I am losing weight but I am not feeling that way. Symantics though just might be the mind jump start I need.

WOw--5% that shocking but thanks for the post b/c now I feel like I have more information then I did before and I agree I think maintaining will be the hardest journey! Good luck and keep it up!

News At A Glance: Netflix To Launch Mac Compatble Streaming Service
The Scoop: Netflix's streaming service isn't compatible with Macs due to the DRM. Later this year, they've definitively said they plan to roll out a compatible codec so us Apple freaks can gain access to Netflix's 12,000+ movies and tv shows from our 'puters.
Quote: "And, for all of you Mac users (of which I am one) we've been busy working getting a solution that will allow you to watch instantly on your Mac. So hang in there – we'll have something for you by the end of the year."
