Benefit fraudster is convicted
A Manchester man who was living in Portugal while illegally claiming more than £17,000 of housing benefit has been ordered to repay the money.
It took Trafford Council seven years to realise that 63-year-old Sidney Hyams, from Urmston, had dishonestly obtained £17,179.15 in housing benefit but did not live in England. At Manchester Crown Court last Wednesday (April 27), Hyams pleaded guilty to benefit fraud, claiming the money on the basis that he needed help to live at his west Manchester property. While in Portugal he had been overpaid benefit between September 2001 and November 2008.
Counter-fraud officers at Trafford Council were alerted after a data-matching exercise pinpointed the fact that Hyams had recently moved out of the borough. It took them further investigation to realise that he had actually moved more than 1,000 miles away. Hyams was given 250 hours of community service and ordered to pay a compensation order of £500 by the court. But Trafford Council has additionally ordered him to repay the entire sum through its civil recovery procedure.
Its director of finance, Ian Duncan, said: "Trafford Council will not tolerate benefit fraud and will take any action necessary to recoup the money dishonestly claimed."

The father of a Brown County inmate who died in the jail is speaking out. He believes the sheriff's office is behind his son's death.
The coroner called inmate Zachary Goldson's death a homicide. The sheriff's office, which runs the county jail, insists Goldson hanged himself.
"Your children are supposed to outlive you and now I've buried two and it's killing me. It was a week before his birthday, he was finally reconnecting with his mother. Things were going well for him," Michael Goldson.
"It may not have been intentional, I believe that might have accidentally killed him and then tried to cover it up."
Michael Goldson believes the video of Zachary escorted through the jail isn't him. He says it's from a previous jail sentence years ago, citing the lack of tattoos on his body.
"They just altered the date and the time on it to make it look as if it was during that time. It may not have been intentional, I believe that might have accidentally killed him and then tried to cover it up," Goldson.

PRODUCT A thin gold necklace with a gaudy monogrammed nameplate
HOW IT STARTED Popular with teenage girls in the 1980s; Carrie of Sex and the City has helped revive the look
JUDGMENT CALL A humorous nod to your high school days. Back then it was a sign of pubescent narcissism; now (for a few months, anyway) it's retrochic
Sex and the City may be winding down its season, but at least one of the show's fashion statements is demonstrating staying power. When Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) this season started sporting a nameplate necklace, that signature of '80s teen style...

Last night, I noticed I had a small, sore lump under my armpit. It was filled with infection that I can express with my fingers. Should I be concerned?READ MORE
Sore small lump under my armpit
Sounds like an infection, Teresa. Pus isn't associated with breast cancer tumors, so don't worry about that - however, if the other lump isn't the same (expressing pus, obviously infected), then keep your eye on it. If it doesn't disappear in a week or so, best to have it checked out, OK?
Meanwhile, keep your eye on the infection. If antibiotic ointment and time don't clear it up in a couple of days, see a doctor for more aggressive treatment. Good luck - PJH

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Good Morning,
It seems that he may be introverted. Introverts enjoy smaller gatherings and quiet predictable activities.
You may want to change the peers that you wanted to socialite with you and connect with others through your church. You can either start or join a book club.
Set a yard sale and try to befriend some of the people who come around.
Even though he does not want to go out much, let him know that you've gotten tickets to a movie and the he is absolutely going with you. Dress up, do your makeup, and let him know that you intend on going out and he's welcomed to join you. It is ok to do things just the two of you (or you can have your girlfriends and they partners join) so he gets used to the company. See if there are some people he considers close friends and see if they would join.
You may want to plan a cook out and have many other couples join for an outdoors event (pot luck)

With the stifling heat on it's way (for some, it's already here), many of us are hunting for a setting powder that will combat oiliness, melting makeup and sweaty faces.
For me, Captain Miracle is the MAC Blot Powder.
It not only sets my makeup, it keeps my face shine-free for at least 6 hours. I marvel at how well it works! I love this product to bits! I've hit pan on it. I own so much makeup, it takes me years to hit pan in most cases. With MAC Blot Powder, I cherish every particle.
My one qualm with this is the fact that MAC does not label the shades correctly. The shade I usually buy in MAC powders (Medium Dark) is a touch too light for my NC42 skin. Next time I buy this, I'll pick up Dark.
MAC sells my HG powder for $23 (12 g/ 0.42 US oz).
Tell me about you favorite powder? How well does it work under the burning sun? 🙂

Let Lp(V) denote the pth Lie power of a finite-dimensional module V for a group G over a field of prime characteristic p, where Lp(V) is regarded as a submodule of the tensor power Tp(V). There is a natural homomorphism from Lp(V) onto the pth metabelian Lie power Mp(V). We show that the kernel of this homomorphism is a direct summand of Tp(V) and apply this result to the generic case where G is the general linear group on V and the field is infinite. In this case we find the indecomposable direct summands of Lp(V) and their multiplicities.

At the end of the 12.10 development cycle, the Ubuntu desktop and server flavours decided that they would reduce the number of milestone images going forward and the focus would concentrate on daily quality and fortnightly testing rounds known as cadence testing. Based on that change, the Ubuntu products themselves will not have a Beta 1 release. Its first milestone release will be the FinalBetaRelease on the 28th of March 2013.
Other Ubuntu flavours have the option to release using the usual milestone schedule. Pre-releases of Raring Ringtail are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready. Beta 1 is the third in a series of milestone images that will be released throughout the Raring development cycle, in addition to our daily development images. The Beta images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Raring. You can download them here: -
- Kubuntu Announcement: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/RaringRingtail/Beta1/Kubuntu Download: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/raring/beta-1/
- Lubuntu Announcement: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseNotes/Beta1/Lubuntu Download: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/raring/beta-1/
- UbuntuKylin Announcement: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuKylin/1304-beta-1-ReleaseNote Download: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntukylin/releases/raring/beta-1
- Ubuntu Server Cloud Announcement: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/Beta1/UbuntuCloudImages Download: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/beta-1/

- Xubuntu Announcement: http://xubuntu.org/news/raring-beta1 Download: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/raring/beta-1/
Beta 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a more detailed description of the changes in the Beta 1 release and the known bugs (which can save you the effort of reporting a duplicate bug, or help you find proven workarounds), please see: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Raring, we suggest that you subscribe initially to the ubuntu-devel-announce list. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events.

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) released the following statement today regarding comments made by President Bush at his Rose Garden press conference:
"For months, Washington Republicans have used their power to pursue the goals of right-wing activists, while Democrats have focused on a reform agenda that meets the challenges facing the American people. If, as he suggested today, President Bush is prepared to stop caving to the demands of the far right and to start working on the problems confronting America's families, Democrats welcome him to this effort.
"As I spoke about last week, Democrats are ready to work on an energy plan that reduces our dependence on foreign oil and helps families squeezed at the pump. We are prepared to shore up pensions and to make America's retirement system more secure. We are also ready to move forward on issues where there is bipartisan consensus, including raising the minimum wage, bringing down the cost of prescription drugs and supporting the promise of stem cell research.
"This is the reform agenda of the American people, an agenda in-touch with the needs of working families. Democrats stand in the common-sense center, ready to take up this work. Given the president's statements today, I hope he will join us to get the job done for America's families."

Couple updates.
Tidied the engine bay a little. Still need to clean it, but that will happen when I replace all the shady worm clamps with t-bolt clamps.
I also made all the brake ducting and underbody panels fit! Granted, the driver's brake duct is mostly ceremonial with how much I had to chop it up. The engine splash shield is also rather tight since I have yet to trim it for the piping. While under there, I discovered something interesting. The passenger side front axle is weeping a little from the diff seal. This is upsetting, but I have an appointment to get it fixed. I don't have the heart to do that mess again for another year or so. Emissions get tested Wednesday so we'll see how the LC-1 is working. No dash lights.
Oh, and I found a module I forgot to clear after the shop botched absolutely everything! Limping a car home for ~40 miles is rough on you and the car. It just feels bad. It also generates a buttload of codes.
AA Stg2+ 325xiA? Are you stupid? Maybe a little.

Surveillance footage of the suspect in the People's Bank robbery in Magnolia on Oct. 30. Photos courtesy of Seattle Police Department
Two officers from the Seattle Police Department (SPD) were patrolling Magnolia on Tuesday, Oct. 30, when they learned of an armed robbery at Magnolia People's Bank, 3300 W. McGraw St., around 2:30 p.m.
According to the police report, the suspect had already fled the scene in a southbound direction by the time police arrived. The police tried to find him, but to no avail. Returning to the bank, the officers set up containment of the area.
The only photos released from the bank's surveillance cameras are two black-and-white photos of the suspect.
According to the Seattle Police Department Blotter, the suspect entered the bank with a large "ski-type" rain jacket with a bill on the hood, which was pulled tight around his face, and black, shiny "ski-type" pants.
His hands were in his pockets until he approached the counter, and one of the tellers revealed that the robber was wearing white gardening-type gloves and holding a small Glock or similar type of handgun.
An undisclosed amount of cash was given to the suspect after the suspect followed the teller back to the vault.
There were three employees working at the time of the robbery, only one of which was targeted by the suspect.
SPD Det. Mark Jamieson said that since Oct. 30, there have been no new leads.
"This is an open and ongoing investigation," he said.
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-40s, with a thin 6-foot, 1-inch build; a scruffy, gray beard; and wire-rim glasses.
FBI investigators and People's Bank representatives could not be reached for comment.
Crime Stoppers tips
There are several other banks in the area surrounding People's Bank, including a Key Bank, U.S. Bank, Chase Bank, Bank of America and Washington Federal. Crime Stoppers, an independent crime-fighting organization, has been encouraging people to bring forward tips on the robbery with the incentive of up to $1,000 in reward.
Tips given to Crime Stoppers deal with missing-person reports, elder abuse and robberies, a large percentage of which are bank robberies. Locally, since Sept. 25, Crime Stoppers has successfully cleared 4,973 cases and paid $403,659 in rewards.
According to Crime Stoppers regional office manager Liz Allen, Washington state has one of the highest rates of bank robberies in the country. Washington Bankers Association (WBA) partnered with Crime Stoppers about two years ago in an attempt to decrease this startling statistic.
WBA has traditionally paid a flat $1,000 reward for bank robbery tips, and since its partnership with Crime Stoppers, has increased the amount of solved bank-robbery cases.
Since the merger, "they have solved so many," Allen said, 11 to be exact. Before this, there had only been a couple bank robberies solved.
If anyone has tips on the Magnolia bank-robbery suspect, they are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
Crime Stoppers guarantees anonymity for callers to encourage them to step forward without fear of punishment or payback.

It is the most deliciously Machiavellian undertaking in years.

Don't Let it Fool You
The loud, annoying class bell rings. Some exchange student hits me with their Lacoste backpack and I jump up from my nap. I lift up slowly and find the periodic table peeled on to my left cheek. I wipe away my drool and turn to the left to pick up my book bag.
"Mr. Andrews," I hear from above.
"Oh, Hi Ms. Engle."
"Second time you fell asleep in my class sir. Third time, and that's a lunch detention."
"It won't happen again," I say nervously.
I picked up my things and bolted out of the classroom. I sprinted down to the big, red doors that led to the cafeteria. I entered to the smell of week old tuna and hard, dry bread with a hint of grape juice. I cut past annoyed, angry faces and made my way to the front of the line.

Today, Representative Bill Owens voted for the Agricultural Act of 2014, commonly known as the Farm Bill, which passed the House by a vote of 251-166.
"Passage of the Farm Bill provides farmers the long-overdue certainty they deserve and contributes significantly to deficit reduction," Representative Bill Owens said. "I am confident this bipartisan agreement will help New York agriculture thrive."
The Farm Bill combines an overhaul of the nation's agricultural commodity programs with a package of reforms that will produce an estimated $23 billion in 10-year savings. Three provisions drafted by Rep. Owens were included in the Farm Bill:
Apple Exports to Canada
This Owens provision will streamline U.S. apple exports to Canada by exempting bulk shipments of apples to Canada from inspection under the Apple Export Act. According to the New York Apple Association, the elimination of the required inspection will immediately offer a savings to growers of approximately $300 per truckload. Additionally, removing this regulation will allow apple growers to distribute their products on their own schedule without working around costly after-hours inspections procedures, providing them the opportunity to save money and streamline operations.
Access to Farm Credit
This Owens provision will expand the range of business structures that qualify for loans and loan guarantees through the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Increasingly common structures that do not currently qualify for loans through the FSA include family trusts when family farms divide into a farm ownership LLC or farm operating LLC to facilitate ownership by multiple family members, as well as farms operating with an "embedded entity structure." An embedded entity occurs when one entity is owned wholly or partly by another entity.
Maple Promotion
This provision drafted by Owens and Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) will help to promote activities related to maple production. This includes maple syrup operations, natural resource sustainability for the maple syrup industry, promotion of maple products and increased access to land for maple-sugaring activities.
"Family farmers help strengthen New York's economy," Rep. Owens said. "I am pleased the conference committee recognized the importance of access to credit for family farms, streamlined access to the Canadian market for apple growers, and the potential for growth in the maple industry."
A program designed to keep milk prices stable was one of the major sticking points in the final days of negotiations between leaders in the House and Senate. The final Farm Bill contains historic changes to federal dairy policy, including the creation of a new margin insurance program for dairy farmers and a new Dairy Product Donation Program that will allow USDA to purchase dairy products in the event of low operating margins and donate them to organizations that provide nutrition assistance to low income populations. This compromise will help address the volatility in dairy farmers' milk prices.
The Farm Bill also governs the nation's nutrition policy, including the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), which feeds low-income seniors, veterans and children across the nation. The final bill includes changes to the program that will save roughly $9 billion over ten years. This is about $32 billion less than cuts to the program that were included in the version of the Farm Bill that passed the House in July 2013.
"This has been a difficult process to say the least, but I am satisfied that the compromise on the dairy title will address price volatility for New York's farmers," Rep. Bill Owens said. "This bill is a remarkable achievement considering the dysfunction that has plagued Washington. I commend Chairman Lucas and Ranking Member Peterson for their tireless efforts to get this important work done. This bill serves as an example of what we can accomplish when both sides come together and I am hopeful we can continue this momentum through the year."

Victoria Police want the coroner to examine the 2004 double murders of police informer Terence Hodson and his wife Christine in an inquest that would call former police and gangland figures.
News Limited reports that police are compiling a brief of evidence of thousands of pages which they hope will result in a coronial inquest.
Hodson had been about to give evidence in a major police corruption trial when he and his wife were shot dead at their Kew home.
According to the reports, former police officer Paul Dale, who was once charged with the murders before the case collapsed, would be likely to be called to give evidence as part of any coronial inquiry.
Jailed detective David Miechel, solicitor Nicola Gobbo and police who were managing Hodson may also be called.

Environmental Sciences Seminar Abstract
Tropical Cyclogenesis in a Tropical Easterly Wave Critical Layer
A new paradigm for formation of a tropical cyclone within the critical layer of a tropical easterly wave is proposed. The critical layer of a tropical easterly wave is important to tropical storm formation because: H1) wave breaking or roll-up of the cyclonic vorticity and lower-tropospheric moisture near the critical surface provides the moist vorticity seedling for TC formation; H2) the critical layer is a region of approximately closed Lagrangian circulation, and air is repeatedly moistened by convection and protected to some degree from dry air intrusion; H3) the parent wave is maintained and possibly enhanced by diabatically amplified mesoscale vortices within the wave critical layer. The entire sequence is likened to the development of a marsupial infant in its mother's pouch wherein the juvenile proto-vortex is carried along by the mother wave until it is strengthened into a self-sustaining entity. A survey of 55 named storms in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific sectors during August-September 1998-2001 using three independent datasets is shown to support the marsupial paradigm.
The marsupial paradigm is tested using the high-resolution simulation of the genesis of pre-Hurricane Felix (2007). A diagnosis of the model simulation supports key elements of the marsupial paradigm by demonstrating the existence of a rotationdominant region with minimal deformation within the wave critical layer that contains strong cyclonic vorticity and high saturation fraction. This localized region serves as the focal point for an upscale "bottom up" development process while the wave and pouch move together. Based on the marsupial paradigm, real-time forecast products are developed to predict the genesis location using global model operational data. The genesis location can be predicted up to three days in advance with an error less than 200 km, which can provide useful guidance for forecasters and flight planning.

Ocean — who revealed last year that he'd once had a romantic relationship with a man — also said he believes he heard someone yell "f**got!" but he's unsure who made the statement.
Cops also say Ocean told them that Brown threatened to shoot him, saying, "We can bust on you too!" Ocean told police the whole fight lasted about two or three minutes.

Larimer County held a neighborhood open house to provide information and answer questions on June 15, 2017. A short project overview was presented.
The 2013 flood event caused widespread damage and changes along waterways throughout the County and other areas of the state. In response, the State of Colorado is taking steps towards bolstering long-term planning and resiliency efforts by funding the Colorado Hazard Mapping Program (CHAMP) that will update local hazard information including regulatory floodplain maps for the most affected waterways.
Larimer County's current special transport permitting procedures have remained relatively unchanged since 1978. We are updating our County permitting program to be more in-line with the Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT) oversize/overweight permitting system (COOPR) and regulations.
The City of Fort Colilns, City of Loveland and Larimer County Board of Commissioners approved technical revisions to portions of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. The changes are effective as of September 19, 2016.
On July 21, 2016, Engineering staff hold an open house meeting to present information about a project to repair flood related damage on CR 25E. Below are links to information presented at this meeting.
As the Larimer County community continues recovery efforts from the natural disasters of the last few years, private landowners are being asked to sign numerous documents. The documentation needs are driven by the nature and location of the project as well as the funding source. One of the most common documents is a Right of Entry (ROE).
The preliminary results of the floodplain study in the Glen Haven area.
Larimer County has set two new benchmarks in the Glen Haven and Drake flood damaged areas to help property owners and surveyors doing work in the canyon:

With it's black and white tiled floors, antique counter, cluttered wooden tables and soft, turn-of-the-century lighting, it feels like some late-night hangout in post-war Roma - you half expect Marcello Mastoianni to scoot up on a vespa and start flirting with the punters.

IPR and Kruger
The first 2 weeks!
Hey everyone! Thought I'd do another blog of my adventure this summer! I've been in SA for 2 weeks now and I'm loving it! Have met some amazing people and great new monkey friends! I'm loving work at the sanctuary, which consisits of early morning feeds, supplements of porridge, cooking for all the monkeys! We made mango flavoured pap for them the other day and they were loving it! I've also made some cool enrichment for the marmosets, including a rope bridge type-thing and some holey cola bottles filled with mealworms! One of my favourite jobs is Papi watch; Papi is a Mona monkey, who, like many of the monkeys at the sanctuary had an awful past, his entire family was killed so that he could be taken into the pet trade, he moved around many homes and zoos which couldn't handle his abnormal behaviour until he found a home at the sanctuary. He paces alot and is easily agitated, but with all the attention from volunteers and a good quality of life hes come a long way from the wreck that he was when he first arrived. I haven't quite remembered the names and faces of all 70 marmosets, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually! They are such fun little guys, and the more playful ones love nothing more than a game of hide and seek! I've also enjoyed playing with some of the squirrel monkeys, even though Bobby decided that my hand was his chew toy! In the last couple of days Sue got word of a baby Hippo being kept illegally in Tzaneen, shes offered to keep it until a permanent home can be found (as the sanctuary only takes exotic species permanently) so hopefully in the next couple of weeks we have that to look forward to unless the SPCA find somewhere else for it!
Last weeekend I went to Kruger national park, its about a 3 hour drive to Phalaborwa, so we stayed there over night in a really nice hostel, if anyones ever there its called Elephant Walk Tours and Accommodation, its only R85 (about 8 pounds) a night! We got up early on friday and drove through the park at our accomodation in Satara camp. WQwe stopped on the way at Letaba for an ealry lunch and saw Nyala, bushbuck and some enormous Cranes as we looked out over the river. On the drive we saw Elephant, Giraffe, loads of Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, 2 tiny Klipspringer, Duiker, White Rhino, Hippo, Cape Buffalo and much more! On the second day we drove down to Lower Sabie to try and find a dead Rhino that had attracted loads of scavengers but got lost and had to turn back to make the gate closure! We stayed at Oilifants camp on the second night, which has a fantastic view over the Oilifants river! At half 5 the next morning we went on a morning drive, we saw loads of Rhino, elephant and antelope, but the icing on the cake for me had to be seeing a Spotted Hyena which leisurely trotted past the car without even looking at us!
I've just booked flights to Cape Town for next week, I really want to climb Table Mountain (despite previous mountain related experiences...) and see Boulder's beach! I'll be back at IPR on the 7th and I'll stay here probably for another month until I jet off to Cameroon and the Gorillas!
I'll keep you updated! Hope your all having fun!

A Fistful of DollarsClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this is more violent than many of the Hollywood Westerns that preceded it -- though ones that came after were worse. Lots of men (and one woman) die, even if we don't see bullets leaving exit woods. A little boy is tormented by being fired at (but not hit) by bullies, and the hero suffers an excruciating beating. One character uses a plate of metal under his poncho as an effective bulletproof vest -- a real don't-try-this-at-home detail.
- Sexual Content
- A married woman is held hostage by a murderous suitor, but he doesn't lay a finger on her.
- Violence
- Lots and lots and lots of shooting, with six guns, rifles (and a machine gun). There's no blood, but plenty of bodies. Another man killed with a flung knife. There is a firebombing, and characters are tortured with severe beatings. Eastwood strikes a woman unconscious by mistake.
- Language
- Villains told to go to hell.
- Social Behavior
- Though the Man With No Name cleans up the town of all its criminal elements (and he goes out of his way to protect their innocent victims), the character's ruthless attitude, avarice, and easy way with a gun made even TV networks uneasy in the 1960s. Most of the supporting characters are supposed to Mexican (but are played by a melange of Europeans).
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Saloon drinking, and Eastwood and others have cigarettes clenched in their teeth a lot of the time.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Yes, yes, yes!!! that is the point exactly Daddy and Terri! It shouldn't be about the "food" but about the company and the gathering. It's not a rejection of the person to turn down an offering. I think it may be hard to explain to someone who sees food as "love" but if you explain that you appreciate the offer but just don't eat that way anymore, maybe it will be taken the right way. It's not a rejection of the person, it's just a thing you don't eat anymore. I agree also with bringing fresh fruits and veggies, that may set a precendent for future gatherings.

You talk about the "power of food" How many of you grew up in families where food is love? How do you show you care for someone? Bake them a cake? Bring them a meal? Invite them to dinner?
The biggest change in my lifestyle has been recognizing that its not about the food...its about the event. Food is just a part of it and it doesn't have to be high fat and sugar...it can be fresh vegetables, fruit dips or a well balanced meal.

I guess I'm lucky that my friends and family completely " get it " with what I have just accomplished. BTW, TERRIPHILL, I like your comment about the 700 lbs. lost. I'll have to remember that one. There are some others who would understand it better that way.
When you tell people thank you for offering, but no thanks, they act like you don't like what they fixed and it sometimes becomes hard to explain that you are just trying to stay the way you are and stay within your range. ( I hope I worded that correctly )

There was an interesting comment a few posts back about not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings too badly by eating/not eating some certain thing(s). Isn't it strange that we give food the power to hurt feelings? I mean how could someone else put so much stock in a food that they would let it hurt their feelings? It just sounded strange to me.

Cindi, I know what you mean about the old pictures!! I used to think I was so fat in my late teens...and then I packed on thirty lbs in my early twenties. Those late teen pictures sure looked good!! HOWEVER, now I exercise and eat right...so even though I'm almost ten lbs heavier now than I was then, I'm wearing the same size clothes-sometimes smaller :) I look and feel waaaay better now, and I'm sure you will too :)

I understand how you feel. I was with family last weekend. For my family everything centers on food and eating. I stayed at my nephews house and he cooked wonderful meals every night, plus to picnic like family gatherings with lots of food potluck style. His hero is Paula Deen and you don't even say healthy in his hearing. Actually, we laughed as I teased him that I only eat and cook healthy. I did come back a few pounds heavier and thankful I don't live close enough to have to deal with all the food at every family get together.
I was given a bunch of things to bring home from an aunt who is cleaning out her home. Things that were a great-grandmother's. In a book my aunt put in some pictures of me with my mother. The pictures were from when I was a senior in high school and in college. I was in pretty good shape in those pictures and I remember feeling fat all the time! I guess I have a new goal to work towards! And before a family wedding in October.

Thank you so much everyone, for all of your replies :) A lot of my friends and family read my blog, and everyone responded positively :) They all FINALLY seem to understand that I'm not depriving myself at all...quite the opposite. They finally understand that I'm not refusing their casseroles and cookies because I want to go hungry...but because I've got a much LARGER amount of fruit (or something healthy) at home that will satisfy me longer, cut calories by half, and leave me feeling proud-not guilty. Finally!! I hope it lasts...
It will always be awkward going out to eat with others...but I'm alright with that. As long as I don't have to hurt anyone's feelings TOO badly, or deal with being COMPLETELY avoided because of my habits, I'll be alright.
Terriphill, I'm saddened that you aren't even asked out anymore...I hope they at least ask still if they're going somewhere healthy!!! I'm kind of a loner for the most part though...so I could also appreciate having all of that quiet time to get stuff done :)

I too feel pretty left out when all my co-workers are heading out to lunch and they don't even ask me anymore. I keep a frdige and a microwave in my classroom and eat there. I have found I get lots of work done, its quiet and I actually have come to enjoy the "peace" I explained to my friends that I am trying to learn how to maintain my weight loss since this is where I have such a high failure rate. (I tell them i've lost about 700 pounds in my life and now I want to learn how to keep it off.) They seem to understand that better than "I'm watching what I eat"

i deal with these issues pretty much on a daily basis. i'm not sure why people assume that when your done losing weight you can start eating whatever you want. i know that's one of the main reasons i weighted so much in the first place. my "picky" eating as everyone refers to it can be a pain sometimes, like at picnics and birthday party's but i decided in the beginning that this was a lifestyle change and my attitude anymore is that its my choice what i eat and if anyone has a problem with it then it's their problem and not mine!!

Thanks guys :) Over the last year I've made new friends in the weight loss community, and one of my closest friends lost weight with me. I'm not entirely alone *thank GOD* and I am hoping that family and non-dieting friends can someday understand with time.
It's exactly like what was said a few posts previous, I have a point system (calorie spending system if you will) and I just don't want to "spend" my calories on some traitorous and non-loving cheese burger ha ha, when I could have a million carrots in it's place. I love to eat...and this is the way I choose to do it.
Thanks for all of the support!! I posted a public blog about it on MySpace, so everyone will hopefully read it and get the not so subtle hint ;) I've already received positive feedback :) Onwards, to a better day! One in which disheartening doesn't have an uncorrectable space in it...

hopefully they will give up bugging you about it when they see you are not wasting away into nothing.
good luck

I think we all encounter that in the early times of a weight loss...either from friends or from a husband. Just stay strong. I can't tell you how many times I repeated the mantra to others "I actually CAN have that but I have to account for it, and I'm not willing to use my points that way". After a while, true friends will get over it and accept your choices. There seems to be a universal "need" among those who do not have to monitor their food choices, to get those who do to eat something they shouldn't. Stay strong!

I don't think you should have to make any excuses for your food choices. I could understand it if you were anorexic or bolemic, but you're making healthy food choices. Maybe your friends are jealous or simply trying to sabotage your way of eating?
I don't have a problem like that, but I have 2 sisters that are over weight and one of them got on me about how much I lost. I finally had to pull my shirt up for her so she could see that my ribs weren't sticking out. She kept accusing me of having an eating disorder. If only she would make healthier food choices.
Just tell your friends that you don't really want to discuss your food choices anymore and maybe if they would make some good ones too they would feel happier about themselves and stop bugging you about it.
God Bless and Hugs!

Well, it's hard to explain...I am able to order simple foods at most restaurants, but the food is rarely ever as satisfying as MY food at home (whole foods that took me weeks to discover, and months to tweak), and I always end up even MORE hungry and with wasted calories!
I did have a sleepover at my house (I'm a college student, and my husband was deployed) and I offered nothing but the healthiest of foods. However, the girls I invited were all part of my ROTC class (Air Force) and into health foods...so no one complained. It would have been awkward otherwise, I think.
Anyway, it isn't that my friends think I'm boring, it's that they're concerned for my health. They're concerned that I'm not "living life to the fullest" because I'm choosing to eliminate a lot of popular foods. They think my way of eating must be miserable. I disagree...and wonder if they think the same things of vegetarians, or vegans?? It's just a new way of life, one that sets me free...I think. Why does doing it for maintained weight and health make it different than doing it for personal animal rights beliefs, religion, or medical reasons? Not fair, that's all I'm saying.

I have not had any problems like that, but I don't eat that strict. Are you able to just order soup or something when you go out to restaurants, or you could host an occasional clean dinner at your place to show your friends that it doesn't have to be boring. If you want to move away from food as entertainment, try suggesting other things to do. Food has been the center of so many celebrations and social functions for so long, you won't totally change that.

I've SERIOUSLY been considering using hypoglycemia as an excuse...even though I don't have it. It would be oh so easy to just say that my blood sugar is sensitive, and that I have to eat small meals constantly rather than large, unknown meals. Sigh.
Oh, and don't envy my willpower, it really isn't much involved!! It's quite opposite! Eating this way eliminates the need for willpower after the initial shock, I never have to say no to my healthy foods ha ha. Don't be angry with yourself for slipping up, it's human nature. Just find what works best for you! Some people can occasionally indulge without consequence...I however, cannot...so therefore do not give myself the option. I still do though, about four times a year or so. It's inevitable, we're only human ha ha.
Thanks for replies!!

I wish I had your willpower! I used to do pretty well most of the time but would easily succumb to light arm-twisting when offered up. Here lately it's been a rough road for me with noone really but myself to blame and I'm seeing the results on the scale that I really don't like. I'm working to get back to the low end of my range where I feel most happy and confident.

I know exactly how you feel. It's as if your friends, like mine, have not come to grips with the fact that you changed your lifestyle and it is not just a diet. I'm unlucky enough to suffer from IBS and I'm afraid I do use it as an excuse saying, "It would make me feel awful for days," which is true. I'm hoping that after time they will all just think I'm an eccentric and allow me to enjoy my green tea. By the way, the Glorious Geisha is fabulous, it's strawberries and cream, delicious!!

About this time last year, I finished losing. In order to maintain, I had to come up with a whole new eating style that fit my desires. Now, everyone does this differently. Some people eat small, healthy snacks all day, then a yummy and reasonable dinner of choice. Some eat extremely healthy, and slightly under calories all of the time, so that they can have a guiltless cheat day once a week. I opted to cut out all but healthy foods all together, sort of like the eat clean diet...but not quite, so that I could eat MORE, and more often...ALL of the time, every day. I still "cheat" and go over on calories sometimes, but it's with an extra bowl of fruit and yogurt...or an extra fillet of fish...not nachos or chocolate. I am going somewhere with this...
This really works for me! I get to eat about 8-10 times a day, and I'm never hungry! I still get treats (a 150 calorie ice cream cone, extra fruit, a smoothie here and there), and I enjoy the foods that I've chosen to stick to. The downside is this: I cannot eat out. I will not eat Mexican, I will not eat Wendys...I will not eat cake, chips, or burgers. It isn't because they're bad for you...not at all. It's because these foods do not satisfy me. I eat them...and then crave more. I'm ever hungry for ONE more chip, or ONE more slice of cake. Therefore, I do not eat them...ever. This is impossible, obviously, and I do slip up...but I'm usually sorry, and it's few and far between. Here's the BIG problem with this: my friends get annoyed with the way I eat. They don't understand why I'm not interested in going out for Italian, ice cream, or even some "harmless" taco bell. They think it's sad...and that I have a problem sometimes.
I think that sucks!! I love being the size that I am, it's made my life sooo much better!! I feel sexy, pretty, more...ME. To me, it's worth it! I feel good about the way that I eat, and about the way that it makes me feel.
My question is this: does anyone else have to deal with this???? What do you do?!! It's frustrating :( Fun things in life (and friendships for that matter) should not have to revolve around food :( Fortunately, my husband never complains...he says that I have an iron will ha ha, and brags about how dedicated I am to keep what I want. What do you guys think??
Oh, and I didn't mean to put a space in "disheartening," it just happened...and now I can't fix it ha ha. I'm sad!! It's gonna be one of those days...
OH, and ps-I am 5'6, and 127 lbs. NOT underweight.
