Hey, Maybe Being Fat Is Good For You
I want to run this article with a picture, but if I ran it with this picture, people would scream for eyebleach. So, pretend this picture appears right under the headline, and note before you click it you're going to see a very fat man. A very fat man.
He was the world's fattest man, but got a gastric bypass, and now he just looks awesome.
Anyway I've been hearing this story going around for a week: a meta-study finds that overweight people actually live longer than those at normal weight. And one level of people defined as "obese" -- lower end of the scale -- have no worse mortality than the normal-weight.
Grade 1 obesity overall was not associated with higher mortality, and overweight was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality. The use of predefined standard BMI groupings can facilitate between-study comparisons.
Grade 2 and 3 obesity -- really fat and really fatter -- were, however, associated with worse mortality rates.
So, it's claimed, a little bit of comfort fat might be good for you, long-term.
Hey, it's a study. Must be true.
Here's a possibility: Given that we are generally never put through periods of starvation or hunger and have all the calories we could possibly want, our bodyweight has shifted upwards -- including our tendency to put on fat. Because we're just not built to have all the calories we could possibly want.
The people who remain thin tend to remain thin not because they're especially healthy but because they're a little on the unhealthy side, while the people who would -- in prehistoric times -- look healthy have tended to put on a bit of overweight.
Note that some very healthy and very active people are at "normal weight" -- they work out enough to keep off fat -- or thin but they're anomalies and don't impact the stats that much. Most people will wind up having weights in accordance with their metabolic bias.
So, anyway, my attempt to explain this postulates that it's not the overweight per se that makes people live longer, but those people are basically born a little healthier, and would have longer lives whether they were in prehistoric, lean times (in which case they'd be at the "right" weight) or in comfortable, flabby modern times (in which case they add 15 pounds).
I just made that up now. If it doesn't make sense, that would be why.
The other possibility is the Sleeper Hypothesis: That literally everything they once said was good for you is in fact bad for you, and vice versa.
There's also the
Old Theory: Carbs cause fat
Newer Theory: Carbs don't cause fat at all! Those old fuddy-duddies were all wet!
Newest Theory: Carbs cause fat. The last fuddy-duddies were all wet, while the fuddy-duddies previous to them had it just right.
When no one knows what the hell they're talking about it's a wide open field for paradigm-changing new studies.

(n.) a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety; tranquillity.
Look y'all. I don't watch GMW. I literally just see it on my dash from time to time but today I went in to see why everyone was dying across my timeline so I saw the last episode. And wow this show is important.
I would do anything for you. If there's anything that I know in my life it's that you are my extraordinary relationship.
The friendship of two girls is just so solid. They are the single most important person to one another, period point blank, regardless of anything. Do you know how important it is to set that as the one constant in a show, that regardless of all to come of how people grow towards the sun and in all directions they are each other's roots but it's more than that. In spanish there is a word called querencia. In a rough translation it's the place where you draw strength from, but it also describes how we always return to where we feel safe where we feel at home. They are each other's querencia.
"Maybe it's because your dad left. Maybe it's because you've never felt that love. But it gave you the greatest capacity of love that I have ever seen."
When you grow up feeling half loved it makes you starve for love, you yearn for it more than anything. But it also makes you question every intimate relationship you form. Will they love you in return? Are you worthy of that love? Can you even love that person the way they deserve? Do you know how important it is for young girls to know that just because someone walked away from them, just because they felt alone it doesn't damage them. It doesn't restrict or break their ability to love and be loved. That is so important.
"I choose you and I really want you to choose me."
As you get older you learn one thing. Love is a choice. And it's something you have to do every damn day. You have to choose that person everyday regardless of what might come, regardless of what you've yet do discover of them, regardless of those dusty parts of their soul. You choose them every day even when it's hard and hopefully they always choose you.
"live your life, I'll live mine. I know you're out there and I'm out there too.
Look it's not only a callback to one of my favorite cory and topanga moments but it's also such a mature way to look at a relationship. it's saying. I respect you and you respect me and we both care for each other and it's okay that right now this can't be happening. It's okay for us to be happy outside of each other and continue living our lives.
Honestly a show on Disney channel is doing a hell of a lot better job on showing important and mature relationships than most shows I've ever watched.
Querencia - Kingdoms Fall (2012) (Free Download)
This is the first song that we've released. It will eventually feature on an EP which will hopefully drop later this year. We've had really good feedback so far and we really appreciate everyone that's checked this out and shared the love!
the west coast in general for me
only 4 more months of fucking sodak
As for the querencia, we all have
a place where we feel safest, even if it is only
the idea of a place, maybe an idea by itself,
the place that all our being radiates out from,
like an idea of friendship or justice or perhaps
something simpler like the memory of a back porch
where we laughed a low and how the setting sun
through the pine trees shone on the green chairs,
flickered off the ice cubes in our glasses.
Stephen Dobyns, from "Querencia," Velocities: New and Selected Poems, 1966-1992 (Viking Penguin, 1994)
Alfabeto Colorado | Q - Querência Amada
"Because some people live, others just exist" she said sleepily. "Sleep" I replied. She closed her eyes. Strands of her hair fell and covered her face. I tucked it in her ears. She opened her eyes, stared at me, and I did the same. Her brown eyes took me somewhere safe, somewhere peaceful. She smiled and muttered the three words I heard million times already, "I love you," but it still feels the first time, I wondered why. I leaned close to her and kissed her gently in the space between her eyebrows. "I love you too." She closed her eyes again.
She is still the most beautiful girl in the world. Even if she said that her eye bags are bigger than the usual or her eyebrows is a mess. Even if she said that her body is too thin, her skin is so pale, and her body weak, her hair dry and her lips chapped. I caressed her hair, and watched her sleep. She doesn't know how beautiful she is in my eyes. She doesn't know that I love her hair, and how she flicks it in her shoulders. I love her eyes, how it smiles whenever she's happy. I love her pointed nose, her soft lips and her not so perfect teeth. I love her shoulders, and how it moves whenever she giggles. I love her curves and her edges. I love her thighs which she always covers with her skinny jeans. I love her hands, her gentle fingers. I love it most when it intertwines with mine. I love her height. I love her laugh. I love how she pouts. I love her because she's gibberish, she's smart, and she's logical, she's fair, adorable and kind. I love all of her. Even when she's ranting, she's in the bad mood, or when she has PMS. Even if she says she's not worth loving, that she's going to leave me someday. Something prickled within me. I ignored it. I just want more time with her. I want to tell her how beautiful she is. I'll tell her how I love her imperfections, that I am not saying this because she's on the verge of death. But I know, she won't believe me, so I'll tell her, I want to grow old with her to prove how beautiful she really is. But it's too late. It feels like it's too late.
Her eyes opened a little. "I'm tired" she said weakly. I choked back a sob. "Then sleep." She stared at me and smiled. "You're so beautiful." I whispered. She giggled. Oh how I will miss that. "Live" She said. Then she closed her eyes once more.
This short story is 2 years old but it's one of my best works, so I'm sharing it to you. 😊
P.S. Please give credit when you want to repost it. Thanks!

Report: Phoenicians must earn over $26K to buy home
Anyone looking to buy a home in the Valley needs to make over $26,000 annually, a report said.
According to MSN.com, the minimum annual income needed to buy a home in Phoenix is $26,213.39 after taxes.
The average home price in Phoenix is $169,000 and the average mortgage rate is 3.56 percent.
Phoenix is one of the most-improved metros on our list from last time. Home prices have risen by more than 30% since the first quarter of 2012, and average rates in Phoenix are the second-lowest on our list.
To come up with the minimum annual income, MSN factored in mortgage rates and other costs of owning a home. It also used a standard 28 percent front-end debt ratio and assumed a 20 percent down payment.

GT&T collecting rent from phone which has not been fixed for 20 months
Dear Editor,
Since February last year and up until today after some 20 months, GT&T has been unable to rectify a fault to my landline phone located just by the roadside at Adventure Village in Region 2. But despite no benefit being derived from the service during that entire period the company never failed to submit monthly bills for rental of $500 plus value added tax of $80 with prompt payments being made throughout.The amount paid so far is $11,600 and I kept paying in the belief that the service would have been restored following every occasion I visited the complaints office at Anna Regina.
From the number of visits made there which could be verified from the records, a further sum of $8000 (the usual passenger fare) was expended on travelling alone, in addition to the waste of precious time. Certainly, this is not good enough.
Why the company is showing no concern or interest in my predicament is indeed baffling, but worse yet is the fact that no excuse has been given for the protracted delay.
It is very unfair and unreasonable to pay for a service from which no benefit is being derived, and it would only be proper for the company to make a refund.
All because of a monopoly, I have become a victim in a 'can't do better' situation, and the most I can do now is to implore the company, not as a favour but as a duty, to discharge its responsibility to me as a customer.
Yours faithfully,
Baliram Persaud

I agree that most of the shots look a little oversharpened, but considdering the conditions & his unfamiliarity with such a long lens & tc, they are very encouraging results for him. I am sure he will post better when conditions improve & he gets more used to the set-up.

The Tree and Buzz Cafe Create a Teen Book Event
The Magic Tree Bookstore has launched a new website for teens called The Tree (thetree.me) One of the first events it hosted was an appearance by Suzanne Collins, author of the dystopian trilogy, The Hunger Games. The third book in the series, Mockingjay, was released Oct 2010.
This series is not for the faint-hearted. They are grim tales and make some adults cringe at the level of violence that is depicted. Teens love the stories, though, and since publishers are in business to sell books, there will certainly be more books like it coming on the market.
The Tree is hosting another author appearance. Andrea Cremer will appear at the Buzz Café, on November 10, 2010 from 4-6 PM. For a mere (!) $25 a person, you receive a hard bound copy of her new book, Nightshade, opportunity for a book chat with the author, a themed snack buffet and song list.

In Rockwall, Gov. Rick Perry Spills Some Tea
National Public Radio's Wade Goodwyn headed out to Southfork Ranch yesterday for America's Tea Party -- alas, no Janeane Garofalo, though.

Texans for Rick Perry captured the entirety of his speech, but here's a glimpse for those who prefer their tea unsweetened.

A major component of many new HD newscasts — both on the local and national level — frequently is a new set designed to take advantage of the higher resolution and wider aspect ratio of HDTV.
Another is a redesigned and rebuilt production control room, oftentimes including a multiviewer to drive production monitoring walls.
At last month's NAB Show, Christie Digital introduced new rear-projection DLP technology some broadcasters may wish to consider for both applications. The company rolled out a rear-projection DLP video wall display that removes the spinning color wheel and mercury lamps from the projector and replaces them with high-brightness LEDs.
Available in SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) and WUSGA (1920 x 1200), the new rear-projection units reduce maintenance demands when compared to traditional designs because the LED light source is rated at 50,000 hours of life.
"HD Technology Update" spoke with Jim Gavloski, Christie Digital director of product management for control rooms and video walls, at the company's booth on the closing day of the trade show about the new displays.

UCSD Uses Heat Energy to Fix Odd Heart Beat
UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center is now offering patients with atrial fibrillation the breakthrough benefits of heat energy, or radio frequency waves, to irreversibly alter heart tissue that triggers an abnormal heart rhythm or arrhythmia. The THERMOCOOL SF Catheter is an FDA-approved outpatient procedure for an early-stage form of the condition called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, when recurring symptoms are unresponsive to medicine. Patients typically experience rapid heartbeats that can lead to debilitating fatigue, dizziness, fainting or shortness of breath if left untreated.
"Atrial fibrillation has a devastating impact on more than 2.7 million Americans, yet for many patients unresponsive to medication, traditional treatment options are limited," said Gregory Feld, MD, professor of medicine at University of California, San Diego and Director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Program at UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center. "This catheter ablation technology is the latest treatment alternative for patients dealing with the disabling effects of cardiac arrhythmias, such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. This is a viable option for patients who do not benefit from their first medication."
Atrial fibrillation causes the upper heart chambers to beat rapidly and uncontrollably, and is characterized by disorganized electrical activity in the heart. This results in an irregular pulse, and sometimes a "fluttering" feeling in the chest. An episode can last just seconds, or occur for minutes, hours or even days. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is an early-stage form of the condition, where episodes occur repeatedly but stop on their own, often in a few hours or less.
Performed by an electrophysiologist (EP), catheter ablation is a non-surgical procedure that addresses the underlying cause of arrhythmias. In real time, the clinician first pinpoints the source of irregular electrical activity using a 3-D mapping system, similar to a GPS device in your car. Guided by this map, the clinician directs a specialized catheter through the heart to the source of the abnormal electrical impulses. A small electrode in the tip of the catheter generates radio frequency waves that have enough heat to alter targeted areas of heart tissue. This process blocks the electrical impulses that can cause heart rhythm disorders.
Unlike traditional catheter technologies, the THERMOCOOL SF catheter uniformly delivers a cooling saline solution through the catheter, allowing for cooling of the entire catheter tip. Thus, the tip temperature does not rise significantly during ablation, which reduces the risk for clotting, and enhances treatment safety.
This outpatient procedure takes approximately two-to-four hours, with some patients returning home the next day. The result is either a long-term reduction in the number of arrhythmias experienced and the severity of symptoms, or a permanent return to a more normal heart rhythm.
Atrial fibrillation is growing in prevelance. Up to 12 million Americans will have the condition by 2050. While not life-threatening, atrial fibrillation is a leading cause of stroke among people 65 years and older.

Suu Kyi arrives in India on a week's visit Last Updated : 13 Nov 2012 02:53:28 PM IST Suu Kyi arrives
Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrived in N Delhi after four decades as part of New Delhi's ongoing engagement with democratic and multi-party polity in that country.
Suu Kyi, who is visiting India at the invitation of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, will deliver the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Lecture on Wednesday.
The pro-democracy leader was received at the airport here by Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai.
"The visit of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi would be part of our ongoing engagement with the democratic and multi-party polity in Myanmar. It would provide opportunity to exchange views on all matters of mutual interest with a view to building upon the positive momentum in India- Myanmar relations," according to the official spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs.
"It would be recalled Daw Aung San Suu Kyi had accepted the invitation from Sonia Gandhi in her capacity as Chairperson of Nehru Memorial Fund to deliver the Nehru Memorial Lecture when she met the Prime Minister during his visit to Myanmar in May 2012," the spokesperson said. Suu Kyi was also given the Jawaharlal Nehru award for international understanding in 1992.
During her nearly week-long stay, Suu Kyi will visit her alma mater, Lady Sri Ram College, where she will interact with the faculty and students.
Besides her engagements in Delhi, she will be travelling to Bangalore where she will visit the Indian Institute of Science and the Infosys Campus. She is also scheduled to tour.
