- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Weight loss and weight maintenance (Score:5, Insightful)by spaceyhackerlady (462530) on Thursday December 20, 2012 @02:40PM (#42350639)
I was anorexically skinny in my teens, but gained a bit of weight (related to other life changes) and was comfortable in my 20s and 30s. My weight crept up on me in my 40s, and I was in a constant state of denial about it. No. I'm not fat. Who, me?
Then I decided to look in to a long-standing dream of mine and learn to fly. I got as far as the left seat of a 172 and couldn't get the seatbelt around me. Hell, I could only just barely close the door. I was crushed, but motivated. I did something about it...
I've lost a total of 160 pounds. Once again I'm skinny. Not as skinny as I was when I was 17, but nicely long and lean. I like it. No. I fucking love it. As part of my weight maintenance I weigh myself every Sunday morning. And I've beaten the odds: 90% of people who lose weight gain it back within a year. I'm coming up on two years. I hope to maintain my weight the rest of my life.
BTW: I passed my flight test last May. Flying is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

I am relieved at how that story went. I was sure you were going to say you were to heavy for the plane to take off. Anyhow, congrats on the weight loss and the flying.

My life story is similar, in that I ate like a pig in my 20s and 30s while staying skinny as a rake (75kg or thereabouts). After 40, however, something appeared to change in my metabolism or lifestyle, and I started adding weight without notably changing my diet. When it reached 100kg, I decided to turn it around, and now it's down to 85kg and I still plan on dropping it a little. Although I get a fair amount of exercise, the weight loss is not through exercise - it's just by eating less. I strongly suspect you don't lose much weight just by exercise alone (although it may give you a better fat/muscle ratio). My meals are slightly smaller, there's no snacking between meals (other than a carrot or similar), and I occasionally skip a meal without padding other meals. The take-away message is to eat less.
I strongly suspect you don't lose much weight just by exercise alone (although it may give you a better fat/muscle ratio).
Any sort of exercise is going to boost your appetite as well, so it all depends on how well you control your appetite. Something as simple as jogging for half an hour every day can cause you to lose quite a bit of weight, but it only works if you keep your intake at the same level.
Also, muscle weighs more than fat, so while getting in better shape you might not lose as much weight as you think you should. I can imagine some people find that demotivating. But you still end up looking and feeling better.
Full disclosure: I don't exercise at all, by the way, but I try to cycle with my kids to school instead of dropping them with the car whenever I can.

And I wouldn't be surprised if your blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides were all within norm.
Being thin is MUCH more than vanity.
I have the apposite problem - I can be obese and still look "normal". When I gain weight, it's evenly distributed. And when I say I need to lose weight, folks think I have some sort of eating disorder. It's pisses me off, but I just say that my doctor says so - and she does.

And don't me started on the studies about BMI being "wrong". It's a great approximation and only your doctor can tell you if you should ignore it.
I see this every month or two, generally a friend posting on Facebook. One or two of them have insisted on knowing my weight, then get cross when I tell them I'm 176cm and 55kg. The BMI scale say's that's borderline-underweight, but my doctor didn't seem concerned.
I am the second- or third-skinniest person I know.
Re:Congratulations! (Score:4, Interesting)I have the same thing. My friends all think I'm ridiculous for working so hard to lose weight since I look normal and I'm very active. But I'm just under 25% body fat and 225-230 lbs. I may not be a huge lardass, but that's definitely an unhealthy body fat percentage.
I do sympathize with the anti-BMI feelings, though. It is only useful for people that are sedentary, and even then it is very generalized and can be misleading for people with certain body types. BMI is useful in the sense that it is incredibly easy to compute, especially for population-wide studies. But other, more descriptive measurements are far more useful and marginally more difficult to measure, particularly with regard to individual health.
For example, my BMI puts me at borderline Obese Class I and Obese Class 2, but by body fat percentage I'm on the borderline between average and overweight.
And don't me started on the studies about BMI being "wrong". It's a great approximation and only your doctor can tell you if you should ignore it.
BMI is a poor approximation of "fat" but a good predictor of heart problems. Body builders who don't do cardio are as bad or worse than fat people. Michael Clark Duncan wasn't in bad shape (not fat) when he had his heart attack. But being heavy, even if the heavy is muscle, is hard on your body. Skinny will lead to a longer life than large, regardless of whether large is from fat or muscle. But BMI is a bad predictor of "fat" and "obese" is "very fat" and one of the BMI results.

People put the weight back on because they don't realize that maintaining your weight is a for-life kind of thing. You don't stop exercising when you reach your goal, you just eat more to compensate.
I was just on the edge of being too heavy when I started skydiving back in July (aged 42.) I'd never really been motivated to lose weight and exercise. I've lost about 30 pounds since then and am closing in at what I consider to be a comfortable target weight. I doubt I'll get back to what I was in college, but I'm pretty happy with the results. It's amazing what you can do with just a little attention and exercise.
I was quite skinny in my teens too. I was on the wrestling team my first year of high school, and never got to more than 110 lbs. By the time I graduated highschool I was about 145 lbs. After my first year of university, I was up to about 175 lbs. I never got much more than that, so I was never huge, but I find it amazing how quickly it can creep up on you. After university I started cycling to work and lost all the extra weight. At my smallest I was down to 135 lbs, but that was when my commute was

Good on you! I got my US cert more than 15 years ago. Got one in New Zealand soon after.
I reached the weight I am now as a sophomore in highschool, almost fifteen years ago. I haven't varied by even five pounds since then. I don't own a scale, so I only end up just weighing myself out of curiosity whenever I stay in a hotel that has a scale in the room.
Yep, still 165lbs.
I had a similar experience but plateaued in college (pay no attention to my nickname). However I still weigh myself pretty much every day. A big reason is for data. I know pretty much what going out of town and eating out every meal will do (~ +3lbs) and how long it will take to level off again (2-4 days). I can estimate how much water weight I lose for a given amount of exercise (a personal record of 8 lbs after 3 hours of bball when my knees could still take that sort of abuse). If I start or drop some ty
I'd weigh 165 too, but my zero adjust doesn't go that far.
some UK scales have switch for lbs., kg, or stone. Hope you can get down to 160 on one of those....
... even multiple times per day. Yeah, I am addicted to that with OCD.
I also made a similiar poll on my own web site: http://aqfl.net/node/10137 [aqfl.net]
1st - the grocery store provides a free scale which is pretty consistent
2nd - seeing how much I weigh before I walk in helps keep my purchases healthier in nature by the time I leave
3rd - because I'm too lazy to buy a scale for at home.
I only truly grocery shop every 3 weeks or so, and many times I forget to check the scale if it's a quick trip.
I've got to keep my weight just perfect so I can be a regular blood donor. I tend to drop under the required weight if I'm not careful. Ugh. scale says I'm too light!
We had a wrestling unit in junior high phys ed. They weighed us for that (I came in at 110 lbs), in order to determine weight class, so that they could put me in a group with guys who had about fifty times my level of physical strength and coordination. Each. We're talking about guys who could easily lift their own weight (or, by extension, since we were in the same weight class, mine), swing it around their head, then toss it in a precision arc and have it land exactly where they wanted; whereas, I coul
I'm a type 2 diabetic. Couldn't get any meds to work for me so I control it using diet an exercise. Lots and lots of boring, boring exercise. I check my weight every now and again because it's a pretty good checkpoint.
Not that it's changed more than normal +/- 5lbs in the past two years.
I'm actively trying to lose weight, so I check it almost daily, to track my progress. When I was/will be simply trying to maintain my weight, I check much less often. But part of the reason I now have to lose weight is the fact that I stopped checking it at all.

Missing option: "so that the weight x weighting frequency is constant" (as in "the more obese one is, the less frequent the weight checks are").
And thus a new derived measure unit is born: "peace of mind weightage" = "the ratio between the weight of a standard human being measured in Earth's gravitational field at the sea level and the period of 1 Earth year between weight checks" - approximately equal with 27 microN/s

My mass, on the other hand, I measure on a balance scale monthy-ish.
meh. It's still measuring force, unless you're using a really interesting scale I've not heard of.
It's a generational thing. For 99% of things I can work in Imperial or Metric as needed - although I don't convert.
With human weight and height though the metric numbers just don't work for me - I have no sense of what they mean - but if you say someone is 5' 10" and 185 pounds I immediately know what they look like.

You're doing the wrong way then. Being a force on an object due to gravity, weight should be measured in Newtons.

I am losing weight and I prefer to do it week by week or else I get discouraged if I am not losing enough. I am not all 'gung-ho' about losing. Since January I have lost about 25LB and another 25 next year would be great. My goal is to drop a total of 70LBs and I think that the other 50 can be achieved next year because I am at the teetering point. Laying off the fast food, soda and beer only accounted for 25LBs. Even though I am cooking for myself, I am sure I could get a bit healthier, drop some of the carbs and some of the milk and cheese. At that point I will possibly start walking/jogging this coming Spring when it starts to warm up a bit.
It is a rather meaningless number in the end of the day. In general, it doesn't take a scale to judge one's health, relative obeseness, etc. Weighing yourself isn't always that useful.
I could previously answer this poll with something along the lines of "yearly" or "twice yearly" as someone who can get depressed and "eat away the pain" (it doesn't work, I've tried for over 30 years, I've not found a recipe for long term happyness at the bottom of any comfort food)
Now, while still overweight, I am monitoring it weekly and finding the healthier I eat the better I feel. Sure a pizza and beer or chocolate / sugar definitely can cheer one up but it's quite brief and cyclical too.
My weight has fluctuated from about 75kg to 115kg over the past 15 adult years and it's not just up, it's been up, down, up down many times. If I can give any advice regarding food at all, avoid sugar at all costs. (Youtube: Sugar, the bitter truth)
Oh and I weigh myself about weekly now, I can still fluctuate 2 or 3 lbs a week but it's better than it used to be.

It was the sad realization that I was becoming diabetic, that forced me into doing something about my weight and eating patterns. After a couple years of failing by following the Usual Advice(c) of eating less and moving more, avoiding fats especially saturated ones, etc... I decided to learn human biochemistry directly, discovered a lot my doctor apparently didn't know about diabetes, glucose metabolism, and yet some more... I successfully replicated Tom Naughton's "improving your blood lipid panel while eating fast food for a month by applying one caveat" experiment in April 2007, and picked up low-carb paleo by winter that year as I kept reading more. This cured all the diabetic symptoms I had suffered for years in a matter of days. Interestingly, I also went down from size 12 to size 4 over the following 9 months without any calorie counting or sport, cured myself of a long-standing depression, a creeping arthritis in my left knee, gastric reflux, insomnia and bruxism, and I regained the running endurance I had in my teenage years - without training.
Nowadays I only weigh myself from time to time to make sure it keeps working, and so far it does.

I don't bother weighing myself. I know I'm fat and I feel like shit from it. I get out of breath bending down to put my socks on and my shirts bulge around my middle... I don't need a scale to tell me I need to do something.
I didn't used to be like this, but at some point, living in India and being overfed by my then-fiance and her mother, tons of delicious, rich, greasy Indian food, it just caught up. I'm not sure I even realized I was putting on weight until the first time I couldn't breath while bending over to tie my shoes because my gut was in the way.
I came back to the U.S. and lost some weight in the year and a half before my wife got her green card and joined me. Now I'm back to more of a struggle between pleasing my wife by eating what she wants to feed me and pleasing myself by eating what I'm comfortable with. She puts on a lot more pressure...
It sounds like you need to have a conversation with your wife about this. Food != Love, but in many cases and many cultures, the line between the two can be hard to see. Get a marriage counselor if you need to. If that doesn't work, then try hacking yourself. Walk a little bit each day. Eat miniscule or mostly vegetable lunches and breakfasts (assuming dinner is the main problem). Start with smaller portions during dinner if you know you're going to get coerced into eating more. You can do it.
My father on Mondays goes on a water-only fast until he hits his target weight. If he needs to lose pounds, he only targets a few pounds of loss a week. By the time the next weekend (with buffets and deserts) rolls around, he's where he needs to be.

It may hurt her feelings a little bit now, but not nearly as much as it will hurt if you say nothing and she accidentally kills you.
Just to check if it's still the same.
No point weighing something that is no longer a part of my body.
Here we are, on Slashdot, 80 comments in, and not a single pedant has pronounced:
Actually, you mean mass, not weight.
As I said: inconceivable.
Because scales measure weight not mass. Although they are calibrated to display calculated mass, assuming Earth gravity, very few of us have the means to measure our mass directly.
Don't the scales with the little weights actually measure mass? If you took one of those on the moon, they'd show the same reading, wouldn't they?
That's a good point. Well spotted.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Specifically, when you step on a scale, you measure weight. To your measure mass, you'd need to do something like smack yourself with an object of known mass and velocity and measure how your velocity changes as a result, which is both difficult and dangerous.
Can't you just use those scales with the little weights and the slider?
That just measures relative weight. It compares the forces of gravity acting on two objects, and slides if one is being pulled harder than the other.
And obviously, by doing so, it measures mass.
I weigh myself on scales that measure weight in kg. Well, and being in a former English colony, I could also weigh myself in stones. Given those choices, we don't have a scale, though I did weigh in at a doctors appointment, I'm still under 80 kg of "weight". The only time I ever weighed myself routeinely was when I was working out 6 days a week (I think it was Tuesdays off, for an evening lab in the way). Gotta love the free gym at universities. I wasn't much more or less than any other time in my lif
I've been obese all my life, the heaviest I have been on record is 347lbs. Once I smartened up and decided to get in shape I dropped down to 205 weighing myself every week to measure my progress (lost 90 lbs in 7 months with a healthy diet and some weight training). I then made a terrible mistake...I stopped weighing myself and put back on 35 lbs which I've started to lose again. Do it once a week to make sure you are maintaining the weight, sucks when it's your clothes that start telling you that you put
I have a hyperactive metabolism; no matter how much I eat (and I eat a LOT), my weight always stays at about 140lb, with about a 5-6 lb margin.
Now, if I were to start working out (which I should, skinny != healthy), I would probably gain a good 20 lb of muscle weight, as I used to weigh 160 lb when I was a teenager working in industrial manufacturing.
Wait until you hit 40 or so, your weight will increase by a bit. Your metabolism will change over your lifetime. But your eating won't follow, unless you work hard at it.
Well, *I* don't check it weekly, but my doctor does.
Bone marrow transplant a couple months ago means I visit doctor weekly (soon to change to every other week), so my weight is pretty closely monitored.
Along with pretty much everything else, really.
Oh, and I'm now 100% chimera - no trace of my own bone marrow remains, it's just the donor's now. Two different sets of DNA, depending on whether you check my blood or do a cheek swab....

Keo.co.za has learnt that Kobus van der Merwe will name his strongest possible side to face the Spears in Wellington on Saturday, the final Super 14 warm-up scheduled for the Cape side.
After his 2nd XV contrasted fight and effective forward play in the first half to rank shambles in the second against the Bully Boys, Van der Merwe will be hoping for a far more convincing display from his front-line troops.
With the possible exceptions of Gerrie Britz and Schalk Brits, and injury-casualties Joe van Niekerk, Marius Joubert and De Wet Barry, Van der Merwe cannot play a stronger hand.
The continued absence of captain Barry means Boland centre Piet van Zyl has the opportunity to atone for a shocking display against the Bulls. He'll wear 13 again, although the quality inside him will differ slightly: Instead of Gus Theron, he'll have Jean de Villiers as his midfield partner.
Interesting selections concern the back-row, scrumhalf and the wing. After a pre-season that has seen him tip the scales at 104kg, whilst retaining the ability to bench 165kg and run the 40m in 4.95 seconds, Luke Watson has bashed down the door for another opportunity as first choice 6.
Watson's resurgence in the gym and training grounds after a frustrating Currie Cup means Schalk Burger is shifted to blindside, and unlike Gert Smal last year, Van der Merwe and Technical Director Gary Gold will not play them left and right.
Thus Burger is faced with an entirely different role to the one he is accustomed with at the Boks. Regarded by Jake White as a specialist fetcher, ball carrying will now become a primary concern, and he will provide an option at the back of the line-out.
Bolla Conradie gets the nod at scrumhalf over Neil de Kock, whilst Boland flyer Rayno Benjamin has the literal inside track on Tonderai Chavhanga for jersey 14.

But when you mix mud & the smell of body odor,it can smell like heaven! I love natural smells! ALL natural smells. No exceptions. I know, I know,you think that means wierd smells to....well it does!! I love them. So now you can see why I might think this perfume smells so good. Im sort of a skeptic when it cums to smells as you can tell. I only lick the best!

Kreshka's 3-for-5 Day Leads Softball to 5-0, 9-1 DH Sweep of Shaw
February 21, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Due to scheduling cancellations and weather in the past week, the Pfeiffer University softball team had a rare, full week off before hitting the field on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Falcons made the most of that practice time coming out with a 5-0 and 9-1 doubleheader sweep over Shaw University at Jack Ingram Field. Pfeiffer improves its overall mark to 4-6 on the year while the Lady Bears remain winless at 0-6.
GAME ONE: Pfeiffer 5, Shaw 0
The Lady Falcons earned the shutout in the opener behind Shelby Browns (South Hill, VA) seven innings on the mound. The right-hander surrendered just five hits with fanning five in the win.
Pfeiffer scored a pair of quick runs in the bottom of the first as Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) drove in Mariah Chalk (Hickory, NC) and Kylee Nichols (McMinville, OR) with her single to center. Chalk and Nichols both began the inning with base hits. In the second, after reaching on a two-out triple down the right-field line, Bryttny Kreshka (Roseburg, OR) would make it 3-0 after plating on a Lady Bears wild pitch.
The final two runs tallied in the home half of the fifth as Waylock scored via wild pitch again while Brown did her own damage at the plate singling in Heather Nobles (Angier, NC). Shaw had all five hits delivered by five different starters led by Phytina Hydes (Fayetteville, NC) double.
GAME TWO: Pfeiffer 9, Shaw 1 (5 innings)
Pfeiffer wasted little time in jumping out to a big lead in the nightcap. A five-run second and four-run third would be all the necessary scoring needed for the eight-run victory. Melanie Conklin (Wellington, OH), Kreshka and Amber Johnson (Spokane, WA) would each pick up a RBI in the second while the other two runs came around on Shaw errors.
In the third, Kreshka would strike again with an RBI-single to center while Johnson made her presence felt again with a two-run infield-single. Kreshka scored the second run of Johnsons at-bat, scampering home from second on the play. Sam Taylor (Surrey, BRITISH COLUMBIA) tallied the other run on another Lady Bears wild pitch.
Shaw got on the board for their lone run in the fourth as Monica Grimmage (Georgetown, SC) started the inning with a double to right-center, later scoring on a wild pitch. Kreshka led the Lady Falcons offense in game two going 2-for-2 at the dish with a pair of RBI and runs scored. Chalk tossed the complete game for the win striking out six.
Pfeiffer will return to the diamond on Tuesday heading to Lenoir-Rhyne for a 2:00 p.m. doubleheader.

Classic cars shine at Snohomish show

Hundreds of people and cars line First Street for the 30th Annual Classic Car and Hot Rod Display Show in Snohomish Sunday.

people walk along First Street in Snohomish on Sunday reflected in the chrome of a classic 1938 Chevrolet Mater Deluxe.
According to organizers, there were 640 vehicles along First Street and side streets from Maple Avenue to Avenue D on Sunday.
The event attracted so many car owners that there was not enough space for all of them.
"We didn't have any idea of how many people were going to show up," said Pam Osborne, manager of the Snohomish Chamber of Commerce.
It has been a while since the car show was full, she said.
The event is the biggest fundraiser for the chamber of commerce, and helps pay for the chamber's operational costs and programs.
The event also promoted Snohomish as a destination, organizers said.
There were about 100 car owners who were turned away, said Ray Cook, chair of the classic car committee.
Still, those cars could be seen parked a distance from downtown Snohomish.
Organizers said there were about 15,000 people who came to the event.*
"It's probably one of my highlights of 20 years of me doing this," Cook said.
Participants voted in 38 categories that included stock cars, modified and custom cars, and American-made sports cars.
Bud Worley, 68, brought his 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad, but he didn't expect to win any prizes.
"I came to enjoy the show, the cars and the people," said Worley, who lives in Renton.
Worley said he has been in four dozen car shows this year, and the one in Snohomish is one of the best.
One advantage Snohomish had was that people could shop, eat or watch the Seahawks football game at different downtown businesses, said Jim Rogers, of Marysville, who brought his 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88.
"There's a lot of other things to do here besides looking at the cars," Rogers said.
For Taylor Mayfield, the best thing about the show was the variety of classic cars.
"This is the best place to do it," he said of downtown Snohomish.

Tales of the Past, Part III is an awesome WoW movie. It's a full feature-length (1.5 hours) movie.
Be warned that it is 2.4 gigs in size, but it's worth the download. I recommend the torrent option, and that was pretty fast for me. I didn't see parts I or II, but they aren't necessary to enjoy this.
Martin Falch has made a work of art. It must have taken him an incredible amount of time and effort, but the results are amazing.
The final battle in particular is spectacular, and even modern filmmakers could probably learn something about how to make something truly feel epic.

Tales of the Past
Tales of the Past, Part III is an awesome WoW movie. It's a full feature-length (1.5 hours) movie.

I agree completely!
There are so many scenes where you get goose bumps from the dialogue or the music combined with the plot. The voice acting of Blazer and Yimo is great, maybe not perfect but I'm really moved at times.
"These are the Duranin - of honor within and of fear without"
The Ashbringer scene in the Burning Steppes is truly amazing. I wouldn't mind paying to see something like that at the cinema.
I recommend everyone who likes Warcraft to watch this masterpiece!

Everyone knows the best scene was a Paladin wielding Ashbringer in full Judgement kicking the crap out of Arthas.
Excellent movie BTW, highly recommended.

Definitely worth the time, especially if you're a fan of the lore surrounding Ashbringer, or Retribution Paladins, or just Warcraft Machinima or lore in general.

I can't decide whether to tell my friends I watched a full-length wow machinima movie.
On the one hand, it was epic, and tons better than a lot of the crap Hollywood spews from every orifice.
On the other hand... I spent an hour and a half... watching world of warcraft movie...
Will they high five me? Slap me? Beat me up torture me into never playing WoW again? Or watch it themselves?

"Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." — Proverbs 31:9 (NIV)
In the movie Pearl Harbor, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle surveys a group of pilots who have stepped forward to go on a dangerous mission. In response to another officer's concern about the mission, Doolittle determinedly says, "There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer."
Later, one of the volunteers addresses the crux of the matter: "We're the tip of the sword."
It's true. We — both sponsors and Advocates — are on the cutting edge of the fight against poverty, and we're not giving up this battle!
I'm writing this post to ask you to join me as a member of Compassion's Advocate's Network. That's it! Plain and simple.
This is my story of Compassion. It's long but only because I love being the "tip of the sword," and want to share every ounce of my joy and love with you.
How to Become a Child Advocate
I have been a blessed member of the Advocate's Network since 1994, and my involvement began with my first sponsorship in 1988, one year after the network started.
I had been praying about sponsoring a child for months but didn't know which company I could trust. My answer came as I was eating lunch with a missionary doctor from Haiti. She was telling me about a recent hurricane that hit the country.
I asked, "How do those people live? What do they eat?" and she replied that the children in Compassion had been well cared for.
I asked if she was talking about Compassion International, and she was. She proceeded to tell me all about Compassion's excellence, integrity and effectiveness.
In fact, several of the nurses in her clinic were formerly sponsored children! With the answer to my prayers, I immediately called Compassion to request a child from Haiti.
Why Others Often Become Child Advocates
Many sponsors sign up because of the faithful service of members of the Advocates Network, members who are driven not by rules, paperwork or pressure, but by the love of God for children.
Child Advocates are not told where to work or what to do; involvement is completely self-initiated and voluntary.
As I tell my team of Advocates, God is already speaking to His people about helping the poor; we only need to be praying that He will lead us to those whose hearts are ready. It's truly His work, not ours.
Being a member of the Advocates Network is all about Jesus. As we walk closely with Him, He brings people across our paths that want to sponsor children and want to know who they can trust, just like I did.
Although I cannot sponsor hundreds of children, I can help to connect them with their God-appointed sponsors. The plan is to help one child at a time, exactly the way Jesus did, and by following that plan I have been greatly blessed in so many ways.
Highlights From My Time as a Child Advocate
- A friend sponsored a child in memory of the child she lost in a serious accident.
- A woman said she'd been awakened in the night and told to sponsor a child (she had no idea I was coming to her church that day).
- Some friends sponsored a child for their elderly parents as a Christmas gift.
- When handed Child Packets randomly in a concert, some have said the name of the child they were given was the same as that of a child they lost, or that the child had the same birth date.
- Many families have chosen to sponsor a child for each child in their family.
- I once spoke in a one-room church with seven in attendance, and five children were sponsored.
- A young man came to me at a funeral and said, "You're the Compassion lady, right? I want to help prevent a young girl from being forced into prostitution." He sponsored a child and later became an Advocate on my own team.
- I worked an event that registered 190 new sponsors, and several current sponsors asked how to become Child Advocates.
- Children have dragged their parents to the table, literally, and asked them to sponsor a child.
- I met a physically challenged girl in a child development center in need of a sponsor. When I returned home from that trip, the first friend I saw was someone who works with physically challenged children; she happily sponsored the child.
- Many have come to tables to say how much sponsorship means to them.
- To my delight, our grown children followed suit on their own — sponsored kids, helped at my table and shared with friends about sponsorship.
- I have brought many Child Packets home from sponsor tours and found friends to sponsor each one of them — kids I met personally!
- I discovered I was the only Advocate in the state of Wyoming, but now lead a team of 20 Advocates in three states (Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota).
- I've been blessed to see a group of friends hug their sponsored children for the first time.
- I recently signed up my 500th sponsorship from my own sphere of influence (not counting hundreds more sponsored at concerts, events and festivals where I've assisted).
Become a Child Advocate. Attend the Annual Advocates Conference
One of the joys of advocacy is the opportunity to attend an annual Advocates Conference.
In addition to relaxing with family and friends, attending advocates are inspired to draw nearer to God and are instructed about the unique aspects of Compassion's ministry — our ministry.
- The fact that it is Christ Centered, Child Focused, Church Based and Committed to Integrity.
- We learn not to put pressure on anyone to sponsor a child and to always remember the dignity of the poor.
- Rather than using emotional pleas for help, we focus on the positive changes and opportunities that take place in the child's life through sponsorship (I love this!).
- We serve the church — providing a bridge between those who don't have enough and those who have more than enough. Sponsorship fulfills the Great Commission; it is the "total package" in every way.
I really believe we need the poor as much as they need us. As Dr. Wess Stafford has said many times,
"Without us they die in need and without them we die in greed."
I believe there is a wall that separates the church here and the church abroad, in many ways, and that it is an Advocate's job to bring down this wall through prayer, education, enlightenment and loving encouragement. We need each other.
We need their prayers, contentment and deep spirituality, and they need our support, confidence and friendship. In some ways, this is the only answer to our materialism and selfishness.
I'm delighted to help tear down the wall of separation and bring children and sponsors together, never to be the same again.
The conference is also a good place to form lasting friendships and partnerships in ministry. It is a great opportunity to meet pastors who support the needs of children in poverty, and to meet country directors, Global Ministry Center staff and formerly sponsored children of the Leadership Development Program (LDP). The testimonies are powerful!
When I meet members of the LDP, I have a million questions for them, because the girl I've sponsored in Thailand, since she was tiny, is currently in the LDP! I hope to attend her graduation in 2010.
I was recently able to attend the Global Advocates Conference in the Dominican Republic, and was inspired to meet Advocates from eight of the 11 partner countries.
There are currently more than 5,000 Advocates around the world. Collectively, we have brought in hundreds of thousands of sponsorships. The friendships have continued online and will last a lifetime.
Some Advocates have traveled together to visit their sponsored children. I think we all agree that the more we experience such visits to the centers — meeting children face to face — the more convinced we are that this ministry is really doing what we say it is.
We become more passionate in our goals to register new sponsors because it really works. We can personally ask country office staff and church workers and pastors about the inner workings and integrity of their centers. We are reminded why we volunteered for this very worthy cause in the first place. Our hearts are enlarged.
Become a Child Advocate
As I said at the beginning of this post, I'm writing it to ask you to join me as a member of Compassion's Advocates Network. That's it! Plain and simple.
If you're up for it, you just need to:
- Fill out an online registration form.
- Authorize a background check.
- Participate in a telephone interview.
If advocacy is in your future, training materials and resources will be supplied to you at no cost. Best of all, you will be welcomed into the Advocates Network with open arms, and you will begin to see lives blessed!
If you are a Child Advocate already, speak up! Tell us what experiences have impacted your life. What are your favorite stories?
"But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." — Luke 18:16 (NIV)

I have a sizable amount in my old 401K (from my ex-employer) and I'm thinking to roll it over (they charge maintenance fees once employee is not active, so no point in keeping it there ).
My current company provides facility to invest in 401K at GWRS (well no matching though) and it has following funds -
Name Ticker Last Year Return
Great-West SF Balanced Fund G1 MXSHX 11.69
Great-West S&P SmallCap 600 Index Fund MXISX 15.78
Great-West S&P 500 Index Fund I MXVIX 15.42
Great-West International Index Fund I MXINX 17.92
Great-West S&P Mid Cap 400 Index Fund I MXMDX 17.12
Northern Emerging Markets Equity Index NOEMX 18.80
Great-West Bond Index Fund I MXBIX 3.90
American Funds 2010 Target Date Fund R3 RCATX 9.83
American Funds 2020 Target Date Fund R3 RCCTX 12.26
American Funds 2030 Target Date Fund R3 RCETX 15.63
American Funds 2040 Target Date Fund R3 RCKTX 16.00
American Funds 2050 Target Date Fund R3 RCITX 16.04

Vanguard Small Cap Index Fund NAESX 18.04

Great-West T Rowe Price MidCap Gr Fund I MXMGX 13.68

American Funds Growth Fund of Amer R3 RGACX 20.20
Davis NY Venture A NYVTX 12.73

Great-West US Govt Mortgage Secur Fund I MXGMX 3.22
Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income A OPSIX 13.49
PIMCO Total Return Admin PTRAX 10.08
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index VBMFX 4.05
So the second option is to roll this 401K to IRA account (I'm not sure which funds are good and read few posts regarding some index funds/growth funds in Vanguard). Considering current market - what is the best way to deal with rolling over my 401K.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.

There's no better time to see Alaska's aurora borealis
Michael Dinneen / Associated Press File
This photo of the aurora borealis near the city of Talkeetna, Alaska, was taken in January 2012.
Michael Dinneen / Associated Press File
This photo of the aurora borealis near the city of Talkeetna, Alaska, was taken in January 2012.
M. Scott Moon / Peninsula Clarion File February 20
The northern lights shimmer in the sky above Kenai, Alaska.
Mark Thiessen / Associated Press file
This April 2012 photo shows the northern lights near an observatory outside Fairbanks, Alaska.
The retired chemist from Jesup, Ga., didn't mind that February temperatures can hover near minus 40 degrees on the outskirts of Fairbanks, because the night sky there offered Carter something most people never get to see: the aurora borealis.
"Yellows, oranges, greens. There were light bursts that would come from time to time," Carter said during his trip.
"There were light rays that seemed to come from the ground up, and from the sky down."
The northern lights can be seen on dark, clear nights when charged solar particles strike the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. Because of a predicted peak in a solar cycle, this year and next are expected to offer prime viewing for the elusive phenomenon.
So Alaska's tourism industry is gearing up for thousands of visitors like Carter -- including jetloads from Japan -- who are willing to wait outside in freezing weather, often for hours past midnight, in hopes of catching a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of the lights.
Fairbanks, the largest city in Alaska's interior, is well-suited for aurora tourism because it's located just at the edge of the "auroral oval," a ring-shaped region that circles the north magnetic pole where auroral activity is most common. It also has less cloud cover because of its distance from the ocean, and tourists can usually escape the city's light pollution by driving just 10 miles out.
Lonely Planet, National Geographic and the Los Angeles Times travel section have all named Fairbanks or its surrounding areas as one of the best tourist destinations this year.
Dixie Burbank got a glimpse of the aurora as a child growing up in Wisconsin, but as an adult always wanted to travel to where the lights are more powerful.
"This has been something I've talked about for years, finally making our trek up to Alaska to see the northern lights," said Burbank, of Sun Prairie, Wis., who, like Carter, saw the lights during a visit to Alaska this month. "Because of the solar max, this was the year to do it."
Solar cycles last roughly 10 or 11 years and the "solar max" is the cycle peak, when the sun emits the most energy.
"The heavens just opened up with activity," Burbank added. "It's sheer excitement to see the lights come out."
When the solar cycle hit its low point or solar minimum in 2006, NASA predicted that the next solar maximum could produce the most activity since the historic solar max of 1958, when the northern lights could be seen as far south as Mexico.
If you compound that with the fact that aurora activity tends to become more common around autumnal and vernal equinoxes, the start of spring in March could be quite hectic for Fairbanks.
"Because of the buzz of the aurora blasts we definitely think it's gotten more attention from the media," said Deb Hickok, the president and CEO of the Fairbanks Visitor Bureau and Convention Center. "It's certainly been a busy winter."
Bernie Karl owns one of the most popular resorts in the Fairbanks area to see the lights. He said his Chena Hot Springs resort has been completely booked from the end of December to the end of March and all of next winter.
Todd Salat, a professional Alaska-based photographer who has been chasing the northern lights for 16 years, said he has seen some of the most powerful auroras of his career this winter, and has taken some of his best photographs, too.
"The thing just goes crazy and starts ripping across the sky, then all of a sudden you can't believe what you're seeing -- ripples of light going from one horizon to the other in a matter of, you know, five or 10 seconds," Salat said. "(It's) just incredible. It makes you feel small because it's big. It's global."
But Salat -- and others who observe the aurora on a regular basis -- aren't quite sure the predictions of increased activity will hold true based upon what they've seen so far this season.
Mark Conde, a professor of physics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, expects that recent solar activity indicates that auroras may not be as active this month as some have anticipated.
"The current solar cycle is proving to be far less active than previous ones by quite a wide margin," Conde said. "I would expect the peak of the current cycle -- if it follows the current trend we have now -- it's probably going to only be about half as active as it was in 1958."
Despite Conde's expectations, Fairbanks still expects to be inundated with tourists, especially from Japan. Japanese tourists have been traveling to see the lights for years, but the number of them traveling to the United States has risen significantly since Japan Airlines began chartering flights directly to Alaska almost a decade ago.
Shigeo Mori, who does Japanese marketing for Chena Hot Springs, explained that the Japanese fascination with northern lights stems from a philosophy that contemplates both sides of nature: its destructive power as well as its natural beauty.
"It's more than a phenomenon for the Japanese people," Mori said. "It's tradition, it's history."

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) represent a significant strain on conservation initiatives, directly threatening wildlife and human health as well as the capacity to generate sustainable livelihoods, food security, and promote environmental conservation. The majority of EIDs are zoonotic, meaning they are transmissible from animals to humans, and are becoming more prevalent and increasing in impact due to a variety of factors. Examples of EIDs in Africa include Ebola, Monkeypox, Marburg, Avian Influenza, and HIV/AIDS.
Growing human populations and associated pressures mean that livestock, wildlife, and people are increasingly forced into greater proximity, making the transfer of diseases more likely. Diseases emergence is driven by socio-economic, environmental, and economic factors, including:
Impacts of these diseases pose a diverse set of challenges to the conservation community. In addition to the threat to wildlife and human health, EIDs can lead to loss of conservation capacity and funding. Economically, EIDs can be devastating on both the local and national level, especially for livestock-dependent populations. Ultimately, EIDs may create cycles of illness, malnutrition, and poverty, further impacting sustainable land use, natural resource management, and conservation initiatives. The conservation community is in a unique position to address the threat of EIDs. A number of actions can be taken to reduce the chance of transmission including conservation of wildlife habitat, community education, and surveillance. Members of the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) are actively addressing the threat of EIDs through targeted projects throughout the region.

Coastal Carolina Regional Airport's is expected to lose its four air traffic control tower workers as cuts from sequestration take effect.
However, Airport Director Tom Braaten said passengers won't notice any changes.
"The passenger should see no change," Braaten said. "They don't talk on the radio. I don't know yet what other cuts the FAA will make within their big system but from our perspective, it should not slow them down at all."
Braaten said he received word late Tuesday that the New Bern airport would be one of 189 Federal Aviation Administration contract towers that could lose funding. He said no date was given, and the airport could appeal the decision.
"But we would have to show that closing it would adversely affect the national interest and I don't know if we can do that," said Braaten, a former Cherry Point commanding general.
The FAA targeted the contract towers at airports with fewer than 10,000 takeoffs and landings. Coastal Carolina Regional Airport had about 8,300 last year.
Braaten said the earliest date of closure would be April 7 because the airport would be required to notify Robinson Aviation, which has the contract for air traffic control at the airport.
Braaten said four air traffic controllers, generally retired FAA or military controllers, staff the New Bern tower. He said he is sorry for the potential job loss for tower controllers who he said have been an integral part of Coastal Carolina Regional Airport's team, even riding in parade floats and participating in civic support functions, but air traffic into the area will continue.
"Airports have been operating without individual towers for years," Braaten said. "The FAA assigns them to higher air traffic centers and they operate through them at 50 percent of airports in the country."
Jacksonville and Greenville airports already operate without individual towers.
"When (then-President) Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981, New Bern operated without a tower until 1991," he said. "We had commercial traffic then. We've been very blessed that we had a tower. They're an extra set of eyes up high."
Braaten said a meeting would be set up with pilots to discuss procedures for landings and takeoffs at the airport, which would involve a common radio frequency so pilots can communicate with each other.
Cherry Point air traffic control oversees airspace in the region. A statement issued by the base said workload is not expected to increase for its tower workers as a result of any potential cuts at area airports, and that its controllers don't provide the same service as the controllers at the New Bern airport.
Braaten said the bigger impact from sequestration on the airport could be a drop in passengers, some of whom work at Cherry Point and could see less money in their paychecks and decide not to travel.
"I'm more concerned about the Department of Defense furloughs," he said.

Tom Ford's Black Orchid can be defined with one word: HEAVENLY! Pricey, yes. But you will fall in love. I get so many compliments throughout the day. Almost everyone I come in contact with asks what I am wearing and say I smell great. This fragrance lasts the whole work day and longer. It smells strong when first applied, but the dry down is beautiful. I am not sure if I would classify it as oriental, but the floral definitely comes through.

Wow! Black orchid by Tom Ford is wondefully floral/spicy...a totally unique scent. Comes on strong and has a powder dry-down. Don't let the floral notes dissuade you - you will not smell like a bouquet of daisies.

I first smelled this in a magazine and thought it was different. I tend to like spicy scents but own a variety of varied fragrances. I bought this as a birthday present for myself and have enjoyed it now for a few weeks.

In one of last Friday's episodes of Tyler Perry's House of Payne, titled "God Bless the Paynes," Calvin (Lance Gross) was shot by the man who'd earlier harassed Miranda (Keshia Knight Pulliam). He's rushed to the hospital but his fate is unknown.
We've received a few emails from readers who believe that next week's episodes will be the end of the series and the death of Calvin. While House of Payne has been "cancelled," there are a lot more episodes still to come.
In April 2011, TBS announced that they were ending the venerable sitcom, in part to make way for Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse. At that time, we understood the final episode total for House of Payne to be 220 installments.
In late September, Perry posted on his Facebook page that TBS had ordered 42 more episodes. In December, the cast and crew had a wrap party that celebrated the completion of 254 episodes. It's unclear if they'll be going back into production now that the holidays are over but, based on the numbers we have, it seems like they still have at least eight more installments to make.
In the meantime, we do know that this Friday's episodes of House of Payne aren't the last. Two new episodes will air each Friday night for the next six weeks. Episodes 223 and 224 will air on February 17th and that will leave about 30 episodes left in the series.
In the meantime, you should know that Calvin does not die from his gunshot wounds. He lives and, at least in the next couple episodes, has to worry about paying his hospital bills because he doesn't have insurance.
What do you think? Are you a fan of House of Payne? Are you glad to know there are more episodes on the way?

Southern Nazarene University's policy states a student can
miss only one week of non-participation and the class may be "made up"
only with the instructor's permission.
Two weeks of non-participation will result in withdrawal from the
course and three weeks of consecutive non-participation will result in
withdrawal from the program.
Participation will be assessed by logins to Moodle as well as Faculty reporting.
Withdrawal at student's request is preferred at the conclusion of a
module. Situations in which a student must withdraw during a course
will be handled on a case-by case basis, but will generally result in
the student having to repeat the course at additional costs.
Students will generally be allowed to continue with their cohort
after a one-module withdrawal, unless the course missed is a
prerequisite course.
Upon withdrawal, a Return to Title IV calculation is processed. The
Higher Education Amendments of 1998 changed the formula for calculating
the amount of aid a student and school can retain when the student
totally withdraws from all classes. Students who withdraw from all
classes prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will
have their eligibility for aid recalculated based on the percent of the
term completed. You should contact the Financial Aid Office to see how
your withdrawal will affect your financial aid.

Women's Basketball Rallies Late; Falls Short of #22 Lenoir-Rhyne 64-54
December 12, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Lenoir-Rhyne sophomore Cameron Sealey (Gastonia, NC) scored a game-high 18 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as the 22nd-ranked Bears held off a late second-half rally to defeat the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons 64-54 in non-conference womens basketball action on Saturday night inside the Merner Gym. The win marks the seventh-straight by Lenoir-Rhyne improving to 7-1 overall while the Lady Falcons suffer their first home setback falling 2-4.
Four lead changes in a four-minute span halfway through period number one set the tone for the final 30 minutes of play. After Devona Knight (Woodbridge, VA) knocked down a jumper to knot the contest at 14-14 with 10:09 remaining, the Bears fought back for a 16 all tie on a field goal a minute later by Denise Moore (Newport News, VA). Down one with five minutes to go, Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) would drain a field goal of her own to give the Lady Falcons a brief one point lead. Lenoir-Rhyne quickly closed out the opening half on a 10-2 run, thanks to a Precious Elkins (Conyers, GA) bucket with 16 seconds remaining, for a 33-26 visitors lead at the break.
Six minutes into the second half, Brittany Mitch (McLean, VA) gave Lenoir-Rhyne its biggest lead of the night completing a three-point play for a 46-33 advantage. A layup by Sealey extinguished a mini-rally by Pfeiffer midway through the second before a Domonique China (Durham, NC) steal and layup, along with a layup by Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, NC) cut the Bears lead to one, 54-53, with 4:43 to go in the game. Three free throws by the L-R gave them a four-point lead before Amber Holt (Charlotte, NC) delivered the knockout blows with a three-ball and layup with just under two minutes to play.
An evenly played contest saw the Bears shoot 37% from the floor while the Falcons shot 36%. Both teams hit at 31% from behind the three-point line while Pfeiffer held the advantage from the charity stripe 73% to 65%. Lenoir-Rhyne out rebounded the hosts 40-39 while the Lady Falcons committed four more crucial turnovers.
In addition to Sealeys double-double, Holt also ended up in double-digits with 14 points on the night. The Lady Falcons were led by Coxs 13. Pfeiffer will play its final game in the 2009 portion of their schedule on Tuesday afternoon. The Lady Falcons will travel to Newberry in a 2:00 p.m.
