Congrats! How has the increase in physical fitness felt? Are you stronger and more energetic?

Having better fitness is great. Used to get winded climbing stairs, not anymore! Unfortunately, my weight loss hasn't helped my bad back issues - been fighting back pain for 5 months. Hard to exercise when you're in pain!
- Ken Gidley
Excellent
- Rodfather
That's too bad. I'm pretty sure losing weight off my gut would help my back issues. Do you do hamstring stretches? My chiro told me (and my experience bears out) that tight hamstrings can pull on things in a way that causes low back pain. Of course, if your back pain is due to disc issues, that's another kettle of fish.
- Spidra Webster
Has this all been due to bike riding or have you had a program involving diet regimen and other exercises? I'm curious because I have chronic pain from disability. As you say, it's hard to exercise when you're in pain. I'm trying to change my eating regimen again as well as exercise even more. I'm curious what worked for you.

I don't stretch enough, but I do have disc issues. Had surgery 15 years back, looking like I may need another go of it. :(

Spidra - the biggest thing for me was changing my diet. I've used LoseIt.com and the companion iPhone app to help me set a daily calorie budget (based on my current weight and the rate I wanted to lose weight - 1.5 lbs / per week), and track all my calorie intake. I log every bite I eat, every day now. I can eat anything I want, so long as I have the room in my calorie budget for the...

Brent, it's a simple idea too, and very powerful. It has taken a year to get where I am, but I really haven't felt at all deprived during that time. I still eat the foods I love, just less off them.

Thanks for the link to the far more rational recap of the research. I liked this: "It's like a game of telephone: you can actually trace the account from the sober science paper to the enthusiastic press release to the web account with its extravagant claims of a simple, cheap cure for cancer, and see how the story is gradually corrupted. It would be funny if the final result wasn't going to dupe a lot of desperate people."
- Ken Gidley
I don't know if it will affect big pharma's bottom line that much. Unless dichloroacetate is proven to be magnitudes of order superior to existing treatments such that it completely obsoletes them, it's probably going to be used in addition to, rather than as a replacement for what we already have. And monotherapy is not typical for treating cancer anyway. The problem is that because...

Wouldn't US insurers have an incentive to fund studies?
- Andrew C (✓)
I don't think a health insurance company has ever directly sponsored a pharmaceutical study. I mean, clinical trials for FDA approval cost millions and millions of dollars, and I'm not sure that dichloroacetate will necessarily save health insurers millions of millions of dollars right away (assuming it gets approved.) Cancer is common, but not everyone gets it. It would surely be a difficult struggle to keep their stockholders happy if they invested in something with such uncertain returns.

Don't you hate it when you record a live sporting event (say... football) and you tell TiVo to record an additional 60 minutes, and then you go the whole afternoon avoiding the score... and then the game goes into overtime... and then some dude fumbles, and you know what's going to happen, and it's bad... and then the TiVo recording stops? Yeah.

It seems like a really intelligent system could notice that an abnormally large number of people watching the sporting event live are staying on the channel, and that could be a cue that the event is ongoing, and that it could tell those devices recording the event to continue recording some extra time if there isn't a conflicting scheduled recording.

TiVo: Recorded and Internet-Delivered Content Surpasses Live TV Viewership (The Hollywood Reporter) - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news...
Georgia, SAM, Yvonne and 11 other people liked this
From the article that was published today: "DVR pioneer TiVo on Wednesday said its latest research shows that viewership of recorded TV programs and Internet-delivered content is surpassing live TV viewership. Looking at Web-connected TiVo devices, nearly two thirds of viewing on them is now driven by delayed TV or online on-demand content, it said. TiVo's audience research division, which tracks anonymous usage across 2 million TiVo devices on a second-by-second basis, said that only 38 percent of viewing is live."
- Stephen Mack
from Bookmarklet
The only thing I watch live is sports and even then, I usually watch on a delay of an hour or more so I can fast-forward through commercials.
- The original Kevin
Which is even nore interesting when you consider that only 38% of households have DVRs.
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
I don't see anything in the article that supports the general claim. *For TIVO owners* DVR usage exceeds live viewing--and that would seem so likely as to be almost obvious. I think it's a crappy headline over a not-very-interesting story: Once you have a DVR, you delay almost everything to skip commercials.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, it wasn't true previously despite the expectation. In the past, among TIVo owners, live TV (or slightly time delayed) was the predominate way to view TV. Now, we're finally starting to see time shifting and Internet viewing take the lead.
- Stephen Mack
from iPhone
Sure, but that's *among TiVo owners.* The time it took is surprising: If I was adding 10% to our power consumption and $whatever to our monthly expenses to be running a TiVo, I'd sure use it for everything. (That "add 10% to our power consumption" is one compelling reason we don't and don't plan to own a DVR.)

Loved this story.
- Louis Gray
Stephen, I probably couldn't even tell you what nights the shows we watch actually air. We're entirely reliant on the Tivo to find and record them for us.
- The original Kevin
(Disclosure - I work at TiVo) Walt, you must lead a very frugal power consuming life. TiVo Premiere uses 25W, according to Scribd's analysis: http://www.scribd.com/doc.... That works out to about 220kWh/year. By comparison, using a 20" iMac for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week is 54.6kWh/year. If you have a refrigerator made between 2001-2010, it...

- Ken Gidley
Ken: At 25W, the TiVo Premiere is better than the ones I'd seen (averaging 30W). I figured 300kWh/year. I know extremely well what our power usage is, since our 2.4kW photovoltaic system provides 99%-101% of our total electricity. "10%" might be an overstatement, but it would be a *huge* increment--our annual usage is somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500kWh. We don't run our TV anything like 5 hours a day; we don't use AC anything like 120 hours/year.
- Walt Crawford
In any case, Ken, here's the killer: DVRs for sale in Europe have the option of powering down when not being used, powering up once or twice a day to check program schedules. Is that just too complicated for TiVo in the US? My TV uses less than 0.5w in standby; my Blu-Ray player, no more than 0.1w. If we had a DVR, it might get used for 10 hours/week of recording, maybe 10 of playback. That means it's sitting idle, BUT USING FULL POWER, 124 hours a week. Which is just ridiculous.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, that is a good point. I know that today many of TiVo's signature features (Suggestions, in particular) can occur at any time, but those can be 'scheduled' and cause the box to power on when needed. And that feature can be disabled as well, further reducing the need for 24/7 operations. It's all just a matter of programming. :) Getting the feature request high enough on the 'to do'...

- Ken Gidley
Ken: And we're so far out of the norm for your customers that I don't doubt that's true. The typical household in the U.S (outside California) uses around 950kWh/month, out of which the TiVo is insignificant--and that "5 hours a day" for the TV is probably also typical, and about 5 times our usage. (Hey, our 54" plasma uses 275 watts, which is damn good for a plasma...but we use it so...

"It was almost as if weight loss had put their bodies into a unique metabolic state, a sort of post-dieting syndrome that set them apart from people who hadn’t tried to lose weight in the first place. “What we see here is a coordinated defense mechanism with multiple components all directed toward making us put on weight,” Proietto says. “This, I think, explains the high failure rate in obesity treatment.” "

Most of these studies are RAPID weight loss studies, and severely calorie restricted diets. It doesn't seem like there is much data related to more gradual weight loss programs.

1988 however was amazing. Rain Man, Willow, Short Circuit 2, Die Hard, Beetle Juice, Crocodile Dundee II, Caddyshack II, Akira, Alien Nation, and Rambo III. I could watch Rain Man, Willow or Beetle Juice endlessly, and they resemble me a little.

Are we going by title only or by plot? By title: "Viva Las Vegas", at least when I was big into poker. By plot, I've got nothing... Maybe "A Hard Days Night" :)

Toss up between "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". (was hard to choose; too many good movies came out in '75)

Rebel Without a Cause - 1955 (I was actually born in late 1954, but hadn't turned 1 y.o. when the movie was released, so I'm claiming it.)

Tried to type nest.com and accidentally typed next.com. Got redirected to Apple. Funny triangle of interconnectedness.
