When I saw your posting "I don't eat a lot but the weight seems to stay on these days." jumped out at me immediately. Working in the IT field as well, I have the habit of eating health but not enough. You'd be surprised at how much you should really eat in a day; 12 oz of meat, 6 full cups of vegetables, etc... After adjusting my eating to eat more, I've recently lost 26 lbs in 9 weeks and that was without changing any sort of related exercise; I currently go to the gym 3 times a week for an hour. First step is to see a dietitian and get some customized menus which will help get your metabolism back to where it was a few years ago. I know it sounds crazy but I think ultimately you probably have more of an eating problem (eating too little) more than an exercise problem.

CmpEng writes: ROME, Italy — Researchers studying Iceman, the 5,000-year-old mummy found frozen in the Italian Alps, have come up with a new theory for how he died, saying he died from head trauma, not by bleeding to death from an arrow. Just two months ago, researchers in Switzerland published an article in the Journal of Archeological Science saying the mummy — also known as Oetzi — had died after the arrow tore a hole in an artery beneath his left collarbone, leading to massive loss of blood, shock and heart attack.

Citing concerns over health and a change of culture, about 250 people — roughly half the population of the southeastern B.C. village — are petitioning against Telus's plan to install an antenna and bring cellphone service to the community. 'People come here because in New Denver it feels like you're living 50 years ago and we would lose that if we had an influx of cellphones. Our teenagers would all start using them,' said Julia Greenlaw, chairwoman of the Healthy Housing Society.""
