Infatuation, Cheating and Murder

Tonight another disturbing program on The Investigators on True TV. A man who, ironically, worked for a dating service attracted the attention of a female co-worker. She was infatuated with the man. They went out. They went back to his place and had sex.

Woman, turns out, had a boyfriend. The summary of the taped interview which they played is a perfect demonstration of process oriented thinking.

Woman returns to her home and finds her stupid boyfriend waiting for her. He questions where she has been. Her answer? Shopping. He calls her on her bullshit. She admits to being with another man - HER BOSS. She then tells the stupid boyfriend that HE raped HER!

What does stupid boyfriend do? He murders the man.

The DA was interviewed and could not believe that a woman would effectively be a co-conspirator in murder in order to keep her boyfriend after cheating on him, and the price to hang on to the boyfriend was murder.

Again, instead of the stupid boyfriend being a man and dumping the bitch, he gets life in prison. His stupid girlfriend who cheated on the dude got 25 years.

Men, when you have options and can walk away from women, you might learn a skill that can save your life someday.

Anger

Anger is like dominoes, you release one down and it will affect all the others down the road AT SOME POINT. You may THINK you have "won" the war, when in fact you may have only won a single "battle", but suffered such huge losses in that battle that ultimately, in the war, the long haul, you will LOSE.

When that happens, nothing good will come of it. And, in today's society, a man won't win in that situation. So, if you find yourself with someone who has exhibited a little too much hostility toward anyone, I recommend dropping them immediately and walking away.

Running and Weight Loss

Running 15 miles a week burns roughly 1,500 calories—but to lose a pound, you need to cut 3,500 calories a week. Bottom line? Running alone won't cut it; if you want to lose weight more quickly, you need to adjust your calorie intake. In a study in the 2007 American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism,, researchers followed participants for a year and found that lean and overweight adults who restrict their calorie intake by an average of 300 calories a day lose nearly 25 percent of their body fat. People who just exercise but don't eat fewer calories lose just over 22 percent. Both regimens worked, but your best bet is to combine the effort.

Running for Health

A trainer said "Running is an amazingly satisfying experience. You can start with walking, and continue jogging. It can be race running. But at every level, it offers an opportunity for fun, for fitness, for thought, for contemplation and for achievement.

Running gives you time to observe the world around you. It gives you time to observe yourself, your body and your mind. It lets you work out in your head things that you are thinking about, stresses you have been experiencing during your day. It provides an excuse for that invaluable “alone time” that you need during your day.

And with some proper stretching, strengthening and careful attention to your body, you can run injury free and feel better. You will find that you have more energy and feel a greater sense of alertness."

Ways to participate:

Intramurals - Pumpkin run, track meet
Sport Clubs - Marathon
Informal Recreation - jogging/running tracks, treadmills.

Office Pessimists

You don't want to be such a buzz kill that people arrange their desks away from you.

That's what Caroline Melville, owner of virtual administrative service VirtuallySorted.com, had to do after hiring an accountant to work with her small team.

In the mornings, when Melville asked how he was doing, he would respond with a deadpan, "I am not dead yet."

If the company booked a new client and the office was celebrating their success, he would pipe in with, "Ah, I don't know. I don't know. He might leave."

The eternal pessimist didn't stay long. He resigned when his wife got a new job and needed to move. But Melville didn't complain.

"It was quite a sigh of relief for me, actually, because it was quite stressful having someone like that in the office."

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. A proverb advising the tactic of caution and non-aggression, backed up by the ability to do violence if required.

The widespread use of this proverb began with American president Theodore Roosevelt. In a speech in Chicago in April 1903, he said "Speak softly and carry and big stick; you will go far. If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Munroe Doctrine will go far."

It could also means to threaten gently instead of yelling what you are going to do, and have the ammo to back it up.

Anger and Love

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions......sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved, but the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved...

During this year,let's be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved...

No good deed goes unpunished

Exercising and lowering cholesterol level

Whether your goal is to lower your cholesterol, shed some extra pounds, or both, regular exercise can help you get there. One study suggests that walks of any duration may help reduce heart disease risk. For the study, British researchers recruited 56 sedentary people between ages 40 and 66, then divided them into three groups. One group took a long, 20- to 40-minute walk each day; another group walked for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day; and the third group took 5- to 10-minute walks three times a day.

Over the 18 weeks of the study, the once-a-day walkers saw their LDL cholesterol drop by 8.3 percent; the twice-a-day walkers by 5.8 percent. The researchers concluded that walks of any length can be beneficial, as long as they're done at a moderate intensity—that is, a brisk pace at which you can still carry on a conversation.

Losing weight and lowering cholesterol

According to the American Heart Association, people who have a total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) are twice as likely to experience a heart attack as people who have a cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL. Generally, doctors like to see total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL, with LDL (bad cholesterol) below 130—the high end of the "near-optimal" range—and HDL (good cholesterol) above 40

If you weigh more than you should, slimming down may produce a significant drop in your cholesterol level. Research suggests that being overweight disrupts the normal metabolism of dietary fat. So even though you may be eating less fat, you may not see a difference in your cholesterol profile until you unload the excess pounds.In fact, shedding just 5 to 10 pounds may be enough to improve your cholesterol level. Just don't go the crash-dieting route. A slow but steady loss of 1/2 to 1 pound a week is healthiest and easiest to maintain. Since 1 pound equals 3,500 calories, you could meet the pound-per-week rate by eating 500 fewer calories per day, burning 500 more calories per day through exercise, or—the best option—a combination of the two.

Findings from the landmark Framingham Heart Study confirm that such modest weight loss is worth the effort, for reasons beyond cholesterol control. According to the study, taking off—and keeping off—just 1 to 2 pounds a year may reduce your risk of high blood pressure by 25 percent and your risk of diabetes by 35 percent.

Think before you speak

Everyone has complaints at the office, but it may be best to avoid sharing them with coworkers. Sometimes it's good to get negative emotions off your chest by venting to a close friend or family member, but don't complain at work at all -- people won't like you. Instead, think of ways to turn a bad situation into a more positive one and approach your boss and coworkers with solutions rather than problems.

Converse carefully with coworkers, especially at first. Spend more time listening than you do speaking. Show an interest in other people, but don't discuss anything that you wouldn't talk about with your grandmother or religious officiant -- especially with a coworker you don't know extremely well. In general, steer clear of sex, drugs, and politics.
