How to not be fat. Here's what has worked for me. The following is based on the Kinetix plan, something they started pushing in my day job and I tried it and it worked for me. I got off it for a while and now I'm getting back into it with high hopes as its worked before. This time, I'm sticking with it!
Some general rules to follow to get there. Obvious, use an authoritative guideline. But if you are lazy, some obvious things can help right off. You have to adjust according to your specific situation (gender, weight, how in shape you are, age, etc.).
-Food and Eating
First, adjust your diet. Some of that, is obvious. Lower carbs. Not higher protein, but appropriate proteins. Fats, lower than your carbs and proteins. Less than half of your protein from fats. These things are all on just about any food label and are easy to check. Four to six ounces of protein per meal. Eat an appropriate snack between meals to keep from getting hungry and staying out of starvation mode.
-Clothes
I have found that if you are overweight, well, what do you do? You loosen your belt, don't you? You put on your "fat" pants (or whatever). If you put on a shirt that makes it obvious you are out of shape, you feel uncomfortable. So what do you do? You get...comfortable. Yes? Well, guess what? Don't. As long as you don't make yourself look bad (why should we have to suffer after all, its YOUR problem), if you really want to lose weight (and you do need to keep up your self esteem), get motivated.
But you also have to keep reminding yourself, every second of every day, never forgetting that your goal is to get into shape! Hopefully, getting into shape again (hoping you at least HAVE been there before at some point; birth, if nothing else).
I mean, take a break ONCE in a while, put on a pair of sweatpants at 9 o'clock at night, when you're tired and you worked out that day. Reward yourself, but don't, forget about it. If, every time you get up, sit down, get in or out of the car, you feel the extra weight, guess what? You're going to be more motivated to DO SOME thing about it. Get mad, get motivated, get to it!
People especially have this problem if they live where there is a lot of incliment weather, like not in Southern California, or Florida, or Bahama, Jamaica, Tahiti. Ever notice people seem to be heavier in colder climates?
Okay, except for Sweden. Or Finland. Well, or any Scandinavian country. But other than that. Yes, I think maybe I'm right. Or not. But it doesn't matter. What does matter, is you pay attention. Don't forget, you have to be, stay, and work at, being healthy. Okay?
If you have to wear lots of clothes, you just stop noticing you have a
body underneath. That's, a killer. When you wear a bikini or shorts and a
"T" all day, you don't want to look bad, get overweight, because, your
body is then PART of your clothing look. Get it?
-Exercise
Don't work out to gain muscle when starting
Work out to get toned first
Then worry about building muscle
If it hurts stop, or don't work out so hard.
Increase to the next level as soon as you can,
typically in about a week.
It shouldn't be more than a week on each level anyway.
At that point, work out longer, or use slightly heavier weights,
or change around what exercises you are doing.
Mostly, don't overdo it. Have fun with it.
You don't even have to work out that much each day.
And you can feel you are doing something, and you are.
That eliminates the guilt, of NOT working out. And the working out
part isn't that hard, and it does achieve results.
Once you get into shape a little bit, then if you make a mistake
and work out too hard, too long, and damage yourself a little, you
will come back far faster than if this happened as you are just beginning.
So, hang in there. Keep it up. Educate yourself, its YOUR body.
You'll notice the results, but don't give up!

Undead Nation Anthology Authors meet with soon to be Breast Cancer Survivor
Our Heroes today find themselves making the acquaintance of a new Heroine, Nikki Mackey. They met her at the recent fun Halloween weekend long event, ZomBcon and decided to meet up again, later.
Several of the local Authors of, The Undead Nation Anthology (please feel free to purchase a copy, as it really is for a great cause, also available in downloadable form), Ryan Clarke, Alan Gandy, and Joseph Cedeno got to hang out with Nikki on Saturday and they said Nikki is one of the coolest horror chicks ever!
Our intrepid Authors gave her a signed copy of The Undead Nation Anthology, which all eleven of the Authors donated their stories to so that all of the horror book proceeds could be fully dedicated to fighting Breast Cancer.
Pictured: Alan Gandy, Nikki, Ryan Clarke and Joseph Cedeno.
Nikki has just started her fight against breast cancer and we wish her all the best. With her personality and attitude that lady can accomplish anything and overcome any obstacles that would come her way.
I was also supposed to be there for the meet, but at nearly the last minute I was called away (that's the problem with having to have a day job) and I was sadly, unable to attend. As you may already know, my own sister had to fight this some years ago and was very successful, having been free of it for years now. The degree to which women successfully win over this condition, compaired to not even that many years ago, is amazing.
I really look forward to the day when we no longer have to battle this kind of condition at all, and hopefully one day soon, eradicate it completely. We're are all very hopeful Nikki will successfully overcome this challenge very soon. From what I hear she has a great attitude, which is always a key element in kicking this kind of thing.
Best of luck Nikki!

Terrorist ("Al-Qaida") comedy! Really? Finally!
'Four Lions': a movie joking at Al-Qaida
So we're at the point now, that we're laughing at Terrorists? Thank God and about time!
I'm dying to see this film.
"British comedian Chris Morris knows he's bound to offend people with his feature-film debut, Four Lions. It's a biting satire that follows the members of an Islamic terrorist cell in Britain, makers of mayhem who possess all the cunning of the Three Stooges.
"Morris, who directed and co-wrote the film, has been repeatedly approached by critics who claim that a slapstick comedy about terrorism just isn't funny — and, by the way, that they resented Morris for making them laugh at it." - from NPR
So, now people, pay attention, as dangerous, terrifying, sad and pathetic terrorism is, it has now degenerated into slapstick comedy and the real terrorists in their glossy rag Insight", has fallen to calling for their foolish followers to tie knives to trucks and attack crowds of people. Wow. This is in a way a very good sign.
From the movie (terrorists with British accents):
Terrorist 1: We got a target bro.
Omar: What is it?
Terrorist 1: Its the Mosque.
Omar: What?
Terrorist 1: Yeah! Bomb the Mosque! Radicalize the moderates, bring it all on!
Omar: Wait a minute. You don't bomb the mosque.
Terrorist 1: You don't get it do you Omar!? We radicalize the moderates, the Imam rises up here, it all kicks off!
Omar: I do get it, I'll tell you what its like. its like you get in a fight with someone, and they're punching you in the face, right? And so what you go and do is, you punch your SELF in the face!
Writer/Directory, Chris Morris says, this dialog was taken direct from actual MI-5 survellience.
I am so looking forward to this one, I am!

Weekend Wise Words
FDR's first inaugural address, which contains the full quote in the fifth sentence:
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
"Looking at the date of the speech, 1933, and reading a bit further into Roosevelt's address, we realized that he was referring to the economic conditions of the time -- in other words, "The Great Depression". He was essentially saying, 'if we can't shake our pessimistic economic outlook, it will be tough to turn things around.'
"President Roosevelt was calling for a little irrational exuberance..."
From http://ask.yahoo.com/20010614.html
The seventh paragraph says:
"Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men."
But not a lot of that going around by those who can actually affect things. So its needed to be legislated. So, its funny when those same people (the rich, the elected officials, the appointed in positions of power) complain about big government. Perhaps THEY should be making decisions to change things from the ground up, in stead of waiting for those on high (higher than they) to tell them (force them) to do what is right.

Religion directs eating habits, fashion, what else?
I always wondered about the Hebrew strictures against certain eating habits. I had always just chalked up to the necessary best actions for being healthy in the desert... thousands of years ago. Now that we have cooling systems, which makes these mostly (or more accurately, completely) superfluous.
Yet, people continue to follow those rules. Well, I guess you can make use of anything if you follow it as a discipline. But why?
Now I'm seeing that God also had fashion sense? Considering how religious types handles these rules, that means there really has been a "Fashion Police". Scary. That, it seems to me, borders on the ludicrous. Here's a few examples:
Leviticus 19:19
"Keep my decrees. Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material."
Okayyy.... well, the animals thing makes some sense. Even the plants thing CAN make sense. In some cases however its just ignorant as planting the right things with the right things, can keep away certain pests. But, perhaps not in the desert?
Deuteronomy 22:10 - American Standard Version
"Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together."
Um, whateverrr....I think we've been there.
Deuteronomy 22:12
"Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear."
Aren't tassels, kind of, last season? Worried about our fashion? Really?
And finally:
American King James Version
"You shall not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together."
Yeah, so you really are worried about our fashion. And you said that before. You've just got to be kidding me.
God, the all knowing, all seeing, omnipotent, omniscient, architect of the Universe, worries about our fashion? How come there is nothing in those "holy texts" for the people in the future. How come there is nothing about evolving the religions. How come they are so specific to regions on this planet rather than referring to the entire world's people? How come religions seem to be only as inclusive as the general Human population in that region was at that time? Nothing, shows knowledge of beyond, or the other side of the world even. Like, "Love your brothers and sisters in China," or something.
I'm just asking.

RECENT HORROR NEWS 5TH NOVEMBER 2010
JOHN CARPENTER’S NEXT PROJECT IS ‘DARKCHYLDE’
It has been revealed that the legend that is John Carpenter will be bringing Randy Queen's comic Darkchylde to the big screen, Carpenter will direct the picture and Sandy King's Storm King Productions have joined up with Darkchylde Entertainment to produce the film.This is awesome, I'm just hoping John Carpenter is okay after his recent seizure, the guy is as tough as nails so I'm sure it was just one of those things. I can't wait to see what John has in store for us with Darkchylde, if things go to plan this looks like it could turn out to be quite epic.
Check out the Press Release:
"Master of Horror set to bring you the girl of your dreams. John Carpenter is on board to direct Darkchylde, based on the comic by Randy Queen about a good-hearted Southern teen cursed to become the creatures from her many recurring nightmares. Every time Ariel Chylde transforms, she sheds her skin and a new nightmare emerges from her Id to act out her deepest, darkest impulses.
John Carpenter and Sandy King's Storm King Productions have allied with Randy and Sarah Queen's Darkchylde Ent. to produce the film, following the release of test footage created by Richard Taylor's Academy Award winning Weta Workshop (The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong, The Hobbit).
John Carpenter says, “Randy Queen's hijacked angel, Ariel Chylde, is the best young female character since Laurie Strode in Halloween. Bringing Ariel and her dark mysteries to life should be quite an adventure for us all.”
Adds Queen, "I'm beyond thrilled that John Carpenter, one of our most important and legendary genre directors, and the man responsible for such landmark films as THE THING and HALLOWEEN, has come onboard with Weta Workshop to help bring the nightmarish tale of Ariel Chylde to the silver screen. As a horror fan, the thought of Carpenter and Weta together, beautiful dreamscapes, and multiple transformations makes me incredibly excited. There is a reason nearly his entire catalogue has been, or is being, remade, and it's because Carpenter is a genius."
JOHN CARPENTER TO PRODUCE BRAZILIAN HORROR 'THE HELL WITHIN'
More from Carpenter,There is no stopping him as according to Variety he is set to produce a new horror film titled The Hell Within.The film is set in Brazil's Amazon jungle and follows a woman who on a quest deep into the Amazon jungle to save a girl, only to discover that the girl was bait.It's not much to go on, but Amazon jungle plus a girl used as bait sounds to me we may be in for some cannibal action, I wonder if the woman will be documenting her stuff on a video camera?The Hell Within is to be directed by Dennison Ramalho and written by Jeff Buhler, stay tuned for casting news as it is released.
TWISTED PICTURES ANNOUNCE THAT NEW ‘TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’ MOVIE IS DEFFINETLY HAPPENING
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre may have been plundered for endless sequels and remakes – and sequels to remakes – but Leatherface is set to return for yet another traveller-butchering slashfest.
Twisted Pictures, who’ve been planning a new Chain Saw Massacre sequel for a while, have finally moved ahead and hired writers Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan to scratch out a script.The pair previously worked together nearly two decades ago to pen the after-thought slasher sequel that was Jason Goes To Hell.The plot of this seventh human-flesh wearing movie picks up 35 years after Leatherface first rampaged in Tobe Hooper’s chilling original, and sees a set of new relatives entering the fold.
“It’s 35 years later, there’s a relative going back,” producer Mark Burg said last year. “Why is he going back? I don’t want to set it in a dusty town. How do we make it more urban but keep that feel.There will be some relatives, some new people. There’s still the subtext of ‘are they eating these people?’ The whole idea of cannibalism, we’re bringing it back.”
‘WOLF CREEK 2’ PLOT DETAILS
Greg McLean's 2005 Wolf Creek was one of the best surprises I had in recent years, and gave birth to the infamous serial killer Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) it was an unrelenting ride and I've been waiting anxiously for a sequel and today comes first word of some early plot details.According to STYD "In the sequel, we're told the plot will follow a backpacker seeking an authentic Australian adventure. Then he come to learn the deepest, darkest secrets of the Outback's most infamous serial killer, Mick Taylor." Greg McLean is returning for the sequel to direct the film and he is working with Matt Hearn on the script. John Jarratt is also returning to reprise his role as the serial killer Mick Taylor.It's not much to go on with the early plot, but we know what Mick Taylor is like right? All I needed to know was if Jarratt and McLean are returning, and they are, so sign me down for this one.

The Economy - We're all in this together. But, are we?
[sorry about the late posting, it was accidentally set for tomorrow and I only now noticed it]
Saturday was the long-awaited "Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear" in Washington D.C., and around the nation with smaller ones in various cities. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert brought to bare all the sanity and humor they could muster and it sounds like everyone had a pretty fun and interesting time.

I've been watching all this noise about the Tea Party, the Big Party parties, as well as all the complaining, grumblings and ramblings that have been going on for some time now.
And the funny signs from the Rally to Restore Sanity.
One said, "We're all in this together." But, area we? Don't you kind of get the feeling that this is just not the case?
You should really check out some of the signs people brought to the rally. Some are very funny. Some are funny but if you really think about it, very sad, for us. Some, just very thought provoking and do indicate, we need a change, need to grow up, get along, help out, think America and not only about ourselves. We do need to keep taxes to a minium, but what is that? We need to pay taxes, I'm pretty damn sure they are not high enough as we are living on a credit lifestyle; our teachers are paid dirt, our infrastructure is suffereing, and it goes on and on.
Do I want to pay more taxes? No, Will I? Yes, if it can help fix things, and get us out of debt. Do I want bigger government? No. And we may not need bigger government.
But we do need to fix things, get along, help one another, and just get the damn thing done!
I'd like to think it was. But we now have so many diverse interests, so many opposite wants and agendas. How, in the world, can we make it all work?
I have to say, I think Jon and Colbert, are on to something.
