ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Another one bites the dust. Is it just me, or does is seem like every day another lefty liberal icon is leaving the national stage under a cloud of some degree of sexual harassment?  I must admit, I am not exactly heartbroken over the plight of any of these guys. They are not the victims.

Would you like to know what a sanctimonious schmuck looks like? This should do it. It is a photograph of sanctimonious schmuck Matt Lauer interviewing Bill O'Reilly after O'Reilly was fired by Fox News for some various cases of sexual harassment which were settled with big cash payouts to a handful of women. I am not defending O'Reilly. But what gave Lauer the right to grill Bill?

from variety.com

In September, Lauer asked the former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly if he’d ever sent lewd text messages to colleagues. “Think about those … women and what they did,” Lauer said. “They came forward and filed complaints against the biggest star at the network they worked at. Think about how intimidating that must have been. Doesn’t that tell you how strongly they felt about you?”

Would you like to see a photograph of a woman who has no idea how much danger she's in. This should do it. It is a photograph of Katie Holmes flanked by formerly respected, politically influential, Harvey Weinstein and the former King of Morning TV, Matt Lauer.

Would you like to see a photograph of two people sharing trade secrets? This should do it. "What, you mean you don't have a secret button under your desk to lock your door and keep your object of your affection trapped?"

.

Would you like to see a photograph that is just disturbing? This should do it. I don't care what Matt Lauer does in the own time (OK, just kidding, This was from Halloween 2013) I just felt like sharing it today.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Before my 'time', back in the fifties, the question: 'What time is it?' was answered: 'It's Howdy Doody Time'.  (Don't ask)  

Nowadays, when traversing the state of Indiana, the question: 'What time is it?' never has a simple answer.  The map below shows that the bulk of the state is part of the Eastern Time Zone, while two sections of the westernmost part of the state (north and south) are part of the Central Time Zone.

The fact that the state has these different time zones can be confusing.  Chicago is always in the Central Time Zone.  Yesterday, I had an appointment in Indianapolis.  I left Chicago in the morning and I 'lost' an hour as I travelled to the Eastern Time Zone to get to Indianapolis. My next appointment on Wednesday, today, is scheduled in Evansville.  This puts me back in the Central Time Zone.  So, in a way, I get back the hour that I 'lost'.'  I will be back near the central part of the state on Thursday, which means I will 'lose' an hour again.  But not too worry, I return home on Thursday to be back in Chicago for an appointment on Friday and I will 'gain' the hour back.  Confused?  Me too.  And finally, on Saturday night, technically 2:00AM Sunday morning, the entire country will move their clocks ahead one hour and everyone is 'lose' and hour.  (which we don't get back until November.)  Einstein was right....Time is relative.

Howdy Doody was an American children's television program (with circus and Western frontier themes) that was created and produced by E. Roger Muir[1] and telecast on the NBC network in the United States from December 27, 1947 until September 24, 1960. It was a pioneer in children's television programming and set the pattern for many similar shows. One of the first television series produced at NBC in Rockefeller Center, in Studio 3A, it was also a pioneer in early color production as NBC (at the time owned by TV maker RCA) used the show in part to sell color television sets in the 1950s.

WHAT COLOR IS THE SKY ON YOUR WORLD?

There is a scene from the 1980's NBC TV comedy, Cheers, where Cliff (mailman) is spouting off some nonsense and Frasier (psychiatrist) asks him: 'What color is the sky on your world?'

On Wednesday, while driving back from Peoria my daughter and I were discussing our experience on the Segway.  Apparently, she enjoyed the Segway as much as I did.  It was truly great fun.

She asked me: 'Instead of getting a car when I am 16, can I get a Segway?"

I do not know where she got the idea that she is getting a car, especially at 16.

I didn't (but I could've) asked:  'What color is the sky on your world?'

NO WORKOUT.   I am not sure if my legs felt wobbly from the 90 minutes zipping around on the Segway.  Perhaps, my legs were simply tired from too many consecutive days of working out.  Perhaps I was just tired from a lack of sleep the past few days.  Whatever the reason, I simply could not gather the willpower for a workout.  Normally, it takes willpower for me to skip a workout.

JUN 16, 2014 @ 10:31 AM The Surprising Successor To The Segway That Could Revolutionize Urban Transportation

  by Zack Schildhorn 

Several years ago, I had the great fortune to interview famous inventor Dean Kamen. While his achievements are many (he holds over 440 patents, devised the wearable drug infusion pump, and founded one of the world’s largest youth science organizations), he is perhaps most widely recognized for his biggest flop: the Segway. Code-named “Ginger” during its secret development in the late 1990’s, this two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle held the promise to revolutionize transportation and reshape entire cities. Famous venture capitalist John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins bankrolled the effort with close to $40 million at an unthinkable early valuation of half a billion dollars. Tech luminaries Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezosthought the idea worthy of an even more valuable investment: their time. Both met privately with Dean on numerous occasions to offer counsel and contemplate their involvement with the project (and would go on record affirming their excitement). When word of a wondrous new invention and its high-profile supporters leaked prematurely to the press, “IT” became the subject of rampant speculation and hype, the media sensation culminating in a live unveiling on national television. The Segway seemed on a fast path to be a very big deal.

In stark contrast to expectation, sales of the Segway were a massive disappointment. Now, more than a decade after its release, the product has been all but forgotten, relegated to niche uses like police patrols, city tours, and a nerdy take on polo. When I sat down with Dean and asked him what the world least understood about the Segway, he gave a surprising response. It wasn’t an excuse for failure, or, as might be expected of an engineer, a matter-of-fact list of reasons why the product really is so great. Rather, Dean passionately shared the vision that created so many early believers. This is the inspiring original idea behind the Segway that got buried amidst the cacophony of rumors and headlines and forgotten with the passing of time:

I don’t think people have yet come to grips with the fact that in most of the large cities of the world, almost everybody spends most of their time going just a few blocks, or at most a mile, between where they live and where they work. Yet, in almost every major city… all of what should be beautiful pedestrian space… is either a parked car, a parking garage, or a row of running cars, bumper to bumper, with people sucking up each other’s exhaust, creeping along in 3,000 pound, 20 foot vehicles with on average one person inside. It’s environmentally catastrophic, it’s inefficient, it’s unhealthy, and it defiles the original intent of cities. In a world now screaming towards urbanization… the idea that we still get around with a machine that was invented 100 years ago to get between towns and cities and to railroad stations seems absurd. 

But what if you could say to people – “Hey, this environment in the city, it was built for pedestrians!” That’s why these buildings are close together, that’s why you look outside and see thousands of people. What if we could tell you that you could get from point A to point B in the city at the same average speed as your car, but with the same mobility as a pedestrian, in a manner 100 times more environmentally friendly, and close to 100 times as energy efficient? We thought that might make a big difference in helping cities become more fun, more environmentally friendly, cleaner, and safer. We thought it would be a big deal, and I still do.

It’s hard not to admire the boldness and authenticity of that vision, and I, like Dean, think it rings just as true today. While there are many reasons the Segway failed, perhaps the simplest explanation sums it up best. As noted by Silicon Valley investor Paul Graham: “people don’t want to be seen riding them.” Changing the world is never an easy undertaking—especially if nobody wants your product.

But big ideas die hard, and the story that inspired the Segway might be entering an exciting new chapter. As a venture capitalist I can tell you with certainty: if you ever want to know what the future holds, just follow the entrepreneurs. And right now, there is a whole cadre of talented technologists applying ingenuity and effort towards making this vision real. But unlike the Segway, they’re not starting from scratch. Rather, they’re building off the momentum of an unsuspected product that’s humbly but quickly reshaping city streets around the world: they’re reinventing the bicycle.

RED ALERT

This week the plan is simple.  Do not gain any weight.  Not a pound.  Not an ounce.  This is going to be a good week.  I will be traveling to Traverse City, Michigan for a quick three day visit and then zipping south to visit an important fabric customer closer to home back in Illinois.  I have learned that in Traverse City there is a brand-new YMCA that just opened this past September - so that is something to look forward to as well.

Regarding my current condition... I have sounded the red alert(s)

RUMINATIONS, OBSERVATIONS & EXPLANATIONS of WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS & ABERRATIONS

RUMINATIONS, OBSERVATIONS and EXPLANATIONS of WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS and ABERRATIONS

Yesterday when I hopped onto my scale,  I weighed 216 lbs. One week ago, while in Columbus, Ohio I hopped onto my scale (same scale) and weighed 224.4 lbs. Two weeks ago, when I hopped onto my scale,  I weighed 218.2 lbs. • I can never be convinced that I gained 6.2 lbs in the week from May 23 until May 30. Likewise, I can never be convinced that I lost 8.4 lbs in the week from May 30 until June 6. • The very reason that I have been so adamant about resisting the urge to weigh myself more than once per week was precisely to avoid these types of fluctuations, aberrations and aggravations. • I suspected that my 'massive' 6.2 lb weight gain from May 23 until May 30 was NOT caused by consuming a SURPLUS of 21,000 calories over and above what my body would need just to maintain its weight in a short seven day time frame.  • Those are my ruminations and observations. Time for some explanations.

I make an effort to weigh myself more-or-less at the same time each Saturday for my evaluations.   My desire to be consistent in this timing can easily have some complications. • If I have eaten a heavy meal later in the evening of Friday night, there is the possibility that my food has not been fully digested yet.  If I have drank too much water, or tea or coffee and have not had the opportunity to, let's just say, properly complete a normal dehydration, that can tip the scale higher.  An abundance of sodium eaten the night before can be responsible for too high a level of fluids in the body.  If one were inconsistent about weighing oneself after a vigorous workout - the weight on the scale would be artificially lower than on a day when one didn't weigh oneself after a vigorous workout (What a sentence!  I really need an editor!)  Anyway, I absolutely avoid this particular issue.  On the Friday night in Columbus before my Saturday morning weigh-in I was drinking alcohol (Glenlivet's on the rocks) rather heavily.  I can only assume that this plays havoc with my digestation.  (by the way, I am aware that 'digestation' is not a word.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  RHYME TIME After my annoying weigh-in on Saturday May 23, it turns out, misplaced was my consternation. My weight had not really suffered from a major escalation. And yet, before I stepped on the scale yesterday, I admit it was with great hesitation. Recently consumed with doubts, and questioning the intensity of my recent continuing motivation. Yesterday's weigh-in of 216 lbs provided a terrific weight gain refutation. It turns out that yesterday was really a time for exultation, celebration and jubilation. This is no time for abdication. In fact, I feel a revived inspiration. Losing weight is still my aspiration. Today I proclaim a rededication... ...to continued eating with some degree of moderation.

I have copied an more detailed and easily understandable explanation of weight fluctuations from THE BIGGEST LOSER CLUB website.  This is an official website of the NBC reality series.

Are your weighing scales telling the truth?

We explain the reasons behind unfair weight fluctuations

Do you sometimes step on the scales after a week of eating well and wonder where you went wrong? Have you ever weighed yourself the morning after a big night out and despaired about how it can take a week to lose half a kilo but only a few hours to gain 2kg? What’s the deal with these unfair weight fluctuations?

The truth about rapid weight gain

The good news is that it is almost impossible for a sudden extra weight gain to be fat. True weight gain is slow, just as true weight loss takes time. Remember, 1kg equals around 7,000 calories, which means if you burn around 1,800 calories every 24 hours (check your diary for your average daily burn), you would have to consume more than 8,000 calories in a single day to gain 1kg extra of fat.

So, what’s happening? What causes your weight to drop one day and shoot up the next?

When you get on the scales you don’t just weigh your organs, muscles, bones and fat, you weigh everything in your body at that time, including:

• the water in your system

• the liquids you’ve recently taken in

• the undigested food you’ve eaten

It’s these things that can cause the big fluctuations.

Water in your system

A glass of water weighs around 250g.

When you drink a glass there is an immediate impact on the scales. Add some salty food into the mix and chances are you’ll see some even higher numbers. Sodium is like a magnet for water: it attracts and holds onto it.

There are other factors that encourage your body to retain extra water. Medications like high blood pressure and anti-inflammatory drugs are one. Hormones can also play a part. The ebbs and flows of female hormones throughout the month are often mirrored by the ebbs and flows of water retention. Paradoxically, drinkinginsufficient water is another cause of water retention. When your body senses it is becoming dehydrated, it retains as much fluid as it can.

Carbohydrate reserves

Your body stores carbohydrate for later use as glycogen in the liver and muscle tissue. Glycogen holds water in a ratio of 3g of water to 1g of glycogen, which makes it bulky and heavy.

Your body constantly depletes and replenishes this store of glycogen and water. When you are in weight loss mode, your reserves are low most of the time. When you refuel, your body replenishes them along with the accompanying water.

Weigh yourself when your glycogen stores are low and you will see a much lighter result to when they are topped up. This is not fat, but a fluctuation brought on by your body’s natural processes.

Food weight

If you step on to the scales while holding a sandwich, you will weigh more than when you are empty handed. If you eat the sandwich, you will carry its weight until it is digested.

However, food weight and energy density are not equivalent.

You are likely to gain weight if you eat 1kg of butter because it yields around 7,000 calories, which is more extra energy than you can expend in 1 day.

If you eat 1kg of lettuce, however, you will only hold onto the extra weight for the time that it takes for it to work its way through your system and come out the other side. The calorie yield is so low, it is easily burned up.

Post workout

Exercise combines water loss from perspiration and respiration with glycogen loss.

Straight after a workout your weight is likely to be down, but these good numbers only last as long as your next drink, your next meal, or both.

Dealing with upsetting fluctuations

The day after you’ve had a night off your healthy eating plan is the worst time to weigh yourself. Depending on the amount of sodium in your meal, you could be retaining water, along with the extra weight from undigested and uneliminated food.

If you are likely to be discouraged, stay away from the scales for a couple of days after a night off.

For those other times when there seems to be no reason for the fluctuation, think about what’s been happening in the previous few days:

• Are you constipated?

• Have you eaten something salty?

• Were you dehydrated the last time you stepped on the scales?

Check your diary, because real weight gain and weight loss is all about calories in versus calories out.

If you have tracked your energy equation and you have not eaten an extra few thousand calories that week, the only reason for your weight gain will be food or water weight.

More: Why can't I lose weight?Tips for weighing in

• Use the same scales at the same time each week while wearing the same clothes, or none at all.

• Take your waist measurements each week. If the scales go up but your waist measurements stay the same, you know it is fluid rather than fat your cells are holding.

• Check your energy balance using your diary. It’s a fantastic predictor of weight gain.

I did notice that after my 6.2 lb 'weight gain' last week, that my belt continued to be tightened at it regular normal spot.  So, really, what was I so worried about? 

so...in conclusion...

with apologies to Johnnie 'If it doesn't fit, you must acquit' Cochran...

...IF THE BELT STILL FITS, DON'T GET INTO SNITS 

BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE A PIRATE!

Today after my workout I put on a white shirt that I had packed for my trip. I should not have been surprised that it was so ill-fitting. It used to be my favorite dress shirt when I was north of 300 lbs.  It is made from particularly soft comfortable cotton fabric, the sleeve length is extra long, 37" (very hard to find, but my favorite sleeve length when I can find them)  The shirt was huge on me. The shirt was was truly two sizes too big.  I simply did not look my best today.  I reminded myself of the 'Puffy/Pirate Shirt' that Jerry Seinfeld had to wear on The Today Show as part of the fictional story from the 'Seinfeld' TV Show.

Jerry Seinfeld: 'But I don't want to be a pirate.'

For those like me who remember this funny episode with the 'low-talker' I have captured some of the original dialog from the the original script, 'The Puffy Shirt.'

KRAMER: You're not going to believe what happening with Leslie. You know, ever since you agreed to wear the puffy shirt on the Today show, she's been getting

all these orders from boutiques and department stores..

JERRY: Uh-huh.. (Finally realizes what Kramer said, he looks up) Since I said what?

KRAMER: Agreed to wear the puffy shirt. (Starts unzipping the suit cover)

JERRY: What are you talking about?

KRAMER: When you said that you'd agree to wear the puffy shirt on the Today show. (Takes the ridiculous puffy shirt out of the cover)

JERRY: (Goes up to it) This?

KRAMER: Yes!

JERRY: I agreed to wear this?!

KRAMER: Yeah, yeah.

JERRY: But, when did I do that?

KRAMER: When we went to dinner the other night.

JERRY: What are you, crazy?!

KRAMER: What were you talking about when I went to the bathroom?

JERRY: I don't know! I couldn't understand a word she was saying! I was just nodding!

KRAMER: There you go.

JERRY: Where I go? You mean she was asking me to wear this ridiculous shirt on national TV, and I said 'Yes'?!

KRAMER: Yes, yes! You said it!

JERRY: But, I - I didn't know what she was talking about. I couldn't hear her!

KRAMER: (Takes it off the hook, and starts walking toward Jerry with it. He backs defensively backs away from it) Well, she asked you.

JERRY: I - I can't wear this puffy shirt on TV! I mean, look at it! It looks ridiculous!

KRAMER: Well, you gotta wear it now! All those stores are stocking it based on the condition that you're gonna wear this on the TV show! The factory in New Jersey is already makin' them!

JERRY: They're making these?!

KRAMER: Yes, yes. This pirate trend that she's come up with, Jerry, - this is gonna be the new look for the 90's. You're gonna be the first pirate!

JERRY: (Like a little kid) But, I don't want to be a pirate!

The shirt I wore today, wasn't quite as 'puffed-up' but it still managed to look a bit ridiculous on me.  The neck size was nearly 3" too big.   Looks, like 'Goodwill' has another donation coming from me.

My shirt wasn't quite as 'puffed up' as Jerry's - still, it was clearly two sizes too big.
