Weight Lost Plans - Lost Mass Confusion with Planned Weight 1.Weight loss confusion about what is best for yourself and your body. http://youtu.be/URd2PqpJZuc follow link to continue reading.

The most successful program is best developed by someone who has been through the experience of continual struggle, this way you feel you can succeed too. Expert fitness instructors and nutritional specialist are excellent, but the problem is that we have to be at a certain level to keep up with them, where's the baby steps? for people like me...and you who have a fair chunk to carry around and never seem to be able to develop drive and motivation.

Programs today are definitely planning to take steps back.....to read more follow this link http://weightlostplans.net/364/planning_for_weight_lost-using_fatburning_furnace

Thank you and good luck with you making plans to lose weight.

Freestylin' To the beat of his unborn son’s heart monitor

longde says...

1)I thought you said it was entirely to do with culture, yet you bring up their appearance. And then mention Herman Cain and Seal, which seems like a non sequitur given your claim about culture-only. Are your claims based on race/ethnicity or not?

2)You must be a very skilled specialist if you can determine someone's intelligence and occupation from their appearance. Which phenotypical traits are you referring to to come to such conclusions?

3)So using slang and goofing off in a hospital at a joyous occasion make people lower class? I'll keep that in mind.

@longde
• Obese mother (associated with negative health outcomes for children)
• Mother speaks in a lower class manner. (She says something about "trippin.")
• Mother overall doesn't look intelligent. Her job is probably cognitively simplistic.
• Father speaks in a lower class manner.
• Father's brief visual appearance is consistent or as least doesn't refute the other lower class signals, and the likely low cognitive complexity of his wife the mother of his child lets us to make predictions about him.
• Father's not embarrassed to act lower class in a hospital with his pregnant wife.
None of these things would apply to a sophisticated person like Hermain Cain or Seal.
The future belongs to cognitively complex people. People who don't like to read or improve themselves and have bad values are going to face worse and worse outcomes. Automation and globalization will continue, and being simplistic is no longer of value.

Many printers now have the obsolescence blatantly built in to the ink cartridges.
To stop recycling and reuse, the cartridge is programmed to short circuit and fuse it's control chip if it passes a level approaching empty.
Other manufacturers do it at the driver level, when the cartridge is empty it sets a value to lock the printer unless a new branded cartridge is used.
DRM for digital media has a logical argument at least. But why is there not a class action law suit against this deliberate sabotage of a product after purchase?

With even colour laser printers (decent ones too) in the range of sub-$200 why would ANYONE buy an ink printer anyway? Laser toner doesn't dry out. As a matter of fact, the drier it is, the better.


Because they want to print photos. And because doing so with a laser printer requires specialist laser photo paper rather than the easily available inkjet photo paper.

I'm not trying to defend the ridiculous $30 for a printer, $90 for the ink crap that the inkjet printers have going, just saying why people would. I hate blanket statements like yours.

Warren Debunks A Few Healthcare Myths

Porksandwich says...

>> ^snoozedoctor:

Sorry about your plight. Long term disability is a rare thing after recovery from influenza. You obviously ran into some bad luck and I hope that turns around for you. Actually, I don't think advocating personal responsibility is an interesting or unique position for a physician in the least. Promoting health and prevention of disease is part of our oath. With 1 out of 5 Americans still smoking and 1 out of 3 obese, we are clearly losing the battle. Sorry, but it's not my responsibility to hide the Twinkies, or the Camels and drag people to the gym. If citizens want better health outcomes from their health-care system, they should do their part. The quality of what comes out is only as good as what comes in.

>> ^kceaton1:
Yep I got hit with the same thing, the one-two punch. My side, it was sickness (swine flu, no joke), ending with long-term disability (plus surgery). That cost me my 40-50k job, but luckily I have parents that are helping me try to see through this. Otherwise, I would be a bankrupt statistic and most likely dead.
BTW, @snoozedoctor I understand your beef with "PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE'S OWN HEALTH", but that is a very interesting position to hold especially concerning what your oath has to say about that. I assume you're a professional in your field; perhaps you should take up that stance with doctors concerning those fields and see what you could flesh out other than: "throw'em under the bus".



Would you argue that regular check ups should be apart of your healthy life style? Perhaps a cholesterol check, yearly blood test for organ function and such?

My last blood work before insurance was over 300 dollars. Flu shot was 60 bucks at the doctor's office. Yes, people who don't insurance don't pay what they bill insurance at. Hell most of the time, the people providing these services don't know what they cost.

Now if a simple flu shot costs 60 bucks at the doctor's office, while Im there getting a check up no less. But costs 10 dollars at the drug store.......where's the disconnect?

As for exercising, Im frankly frightened that I might get hurt and it cost me more than a make in a year to get it fixed. Not to mention how long that recovery time would be and losing my job during that. At least doing stuff on the job and getting hurt means you have worker's compensation and you might be able to convince them to hold your job until you recover. But if you break your leg or pull loose a tendon while exercising you have only what you can afford to pay for. Which you don't know what it will cost until after they are done, insurance or not.

I suspect in other countries where healthcare is universal, people don't have to worry about this and they can push themselves a little. And it's in the countries best interest to make sure people exercise properly, stretch, don't over do it etc. So they probably take more care to make sure people are properly instructed on how to go about it and what they can do as they age to change up the routine and still get the needed results. You know, without having to be a professional athlete or hire a personal trainer. It's all too easy for family docs to recommend you to specialists for every last concern you have, plus they get a nice little referral kick back. It's a nice system the US has.......or not.


US workers work more hours than most countries, spend more time on the road commuting and generally have less time to live a health life as well. It's a useful thing to big businesses requiring those long hours that they provide your healthcare, because it'd be a shame if you lost your job due to not working the outrageous hours and lost that healthcare. If you untied health care from employment, people'd see how truly expensive it is and they'd be more inclined to have it reigned in and made universal. The premiums on health insurance alone would cover all of your general yearly checkups and tests and probably most of another person's for single people.

I can report that the one in the photos went extremely well with beef sausages and wholegrain mustard.

Thanks for your answer, you've confirmed that we've been calling it exactly what a German would most likely call it too (except perhaps in German and not English).

I would put in a few juniper berries too if they were more obtainable here.

hi there,
never heard of a name for it, though I'm not a specialist on German cuisine I can imagine that for having around a million recipes for "sauerkraut and potatoes" there is no special name other than what it consists of. It's definitely a popular side dish around here. Fits amazingly well with any kind of meat, i.e. salted pork leg, roast, steak, etc.

In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
Greetings and salutations.

Something's been bugging me... I cook this dish which starts with onion and carraway seeds cooked in olive oil, then I add parboiled potato and coat with oil, then cover with sauerkraut and cook on the back burner on low heat until the rest of my meal is done. Actually that part doesn't bug me at all, it's extremely yummy : What does bug me though is not knowing whether this is a German dish, whether it's all or only part of Germany, and what it's called.

How to change a VW Beetle belt in 5 seconds

Mammaltron says...

My point was that they're still going to charge you an hour's work to do a 10-second job. Definitely not something that's limited to mechanics though, any specialist can get away with this. I've done it myself with web work.

>> ^BoneRemake:

>> ^Mammaltron:
Mechanic's bill:
Labor - 1 hour @120/hr
parts - 1 belt @ 49.99

What ? I see the words but the message is void.

Pie approves of this drum solo.

Judge Judy schools Christian ministry for scamming

Sagemind says...

I cringe at people like this.

Not a single specialist or trained professional in the company.
("...for homeless or addicted to drugs or alcohol")
("licensed evangelist")

These people have no credentials to help people - only credentials to convert, enlist and indoctrinate. How can they run a program to get people on their feet if they take all their money while they are in the program?

If these people were educated, they would be dangerous!

Petition to Apply Affirmative Action to the Basketball Team

>> ^xxovercastxx:

This is my biggest problem with AA... it ultimately does nothing to solve the problems it's supposed to address. @Morganth alluded to it in his post. Rather than handicapping white people, we should be addressing the problems that lead to race inequality. AA is like breaking the legs of Olympic athletes so the folks in the Paralympics can keep up.


Except, that's not what it does. AA does not stop the best and the brightest, it simply corrects for preexisting bias that effects the criteria on which the decision is made. What you are describing looks a lot more like unchecked white privilege than it does AA as it exists in the real world.

Allowing people to pursue a career at what they are good at does address the problem. The problem is both material, in the sense of disproportional class disadvantage, as well as societal, in the form of the assumption that "those people aren't good at X". AA lets people work themselves out of poverty, and creates social role models of skilled and successful non-white/male people.

>> ^xxovercastxx:

It runs a few levels deep, too. Putting less qualified people in jobs means the jobs will be done to a lower standard. That ultimately hurts our general standard of living as well as our ability to compete globally.


AA does the exact opposite of this. Consider what unchecked privileged looks like in comparison to meritocracy. The clearest example is blind auditions. Non-blinded auditions disproportional favor men, who everyone "knew" were more likely to be better qualified. Once you remove the knowledge of the sex of the player, the assessment of merit massively changes.

You can't blind college admissions, for example, because they are based on a life history in a classist and racist society. Collage is probably the simplest, though not the best, place to make this adjustment, but making it is better than not.

>> ^xxovercastxx:

If you were diagnosed with a particularly dangerous form of cancer tomorrow, would you seek out the best specialist you could find or would you seek out the best minority specialist you could find?


When white men get positions, this is in no small measure a result of there white/maleness. Knowing this, given the choice of two equally regarded doctors, I would choose the one whose regard is based on their merit, not on their privileged race/sex.

Petition to Apply Affirmative Action to the Basketball Team

longde says...

I'd choose the person with the best performance record, which may or may not be someone who benefited from affirmative action to get into college, or to get a job. I certainly wouldn't go with the doctor that looked the part, out of central casting.

@dgandhi

Does anybody here seriously contend that there is not culturally pervasive affirmative action for white people?
Does anybody here seriously contend that handicapping white people is a solution? That's a rhetorical question; I already know a bunch of you do.

This is my biggest problem with AA... it ultimately does nothing to solve the problems it's supposed to address. @Morganth alluded to it in his post. Rather than handicapping white people, we should be addressing the problems that lead to race inequality. AA is like breaking the legs of Olympic athletes so the folks in the Paralympics can keep up.

It runs a few levels deep, too. Putting less qualified people in jobs means the jobs will be done to a lower standard. That ultimately hurts our general standard of living as well as our ability to compete globally.

The fact that these college students have not thought about this in depth is an indication that people don't think about things in depth
One of the things I really like about this question (the one in the video) is that it does get people thinking about AA. They may think about it and ultimately decide they were already on the right side, but at least they thought about it. It's a great question, I think.

If you were diagnosed with a particularly dangerous form of cancer tomorrow, would you seek out the best specialist you could find or would you seek out the best minority specialist you could find?
