Recruiting Roundup: Showtime Lacrosse
wpgeoff2 - 10/30/2007
We all know how competitive recruiting is, and how coaches are always trying to find the next big talent at an earlier and earlier age. Well, three former Syracuse stars are raising the ante for the summer showcase recruit camp circuit.
I talked to former Syracuse All-America and current CSTV lacrosse analyst Paul Carcaterra today about Showtime Lacrosse, a new recruiting camp venture he and former Orange teammates Joe Ceglia and Michael Springer are putting together for summer 2008. The camp will take place July 14-17 at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT.
"The way that the game is changing, kids are being targeted earlier than ever," says Carcaterra. "So we decided to go with a recruiting camp. We also decided to do something different. Kids are on coaches' radars so early, by their senior year unfortunately it's almost too late."
The solution? Showtime Lacrosse will invite only rising high school juniors and rising high school sophomores, with an emphasis on national recruits.
"Our initial ambition, our mindset and mission, is to get the best of the best current ninth and 10th graders early exposure, and we're looking at kids that fit that description from geographical areas from across the country," says Carcaterra.
The inaugural camp is invitation only. Nomination forms were mailed to high school coaches this past fall, and Showtime Lacrosse officials will start to iron out that list over the coming months. Idealy, the event will have 16 teams of 18 players, or a little under 300 players, says Carcaterra. Early plans have the teams competing in head-to-head competition as well as participating in instructional clinics. Field space should be a plus with a FieldTurf stadium and several adjacent grass fields to work with.
July 14-17 is toward the tail end of the summer recruiting season, right about the time when STX Shootout takes place, but before the Empire Games and Champ Camp. It's a busy period for recruiting, and though time is limited several DI, DII and DIII coaching staffs have already committed to visit the camp, says Carcaterra.
Though younger players take part in elite club team action all the time, this is one of the few showcase camps to emphasize sophomores. Will this set a new precedent? Checkout more info on Showtime Lacrosse at their website.

Michael McDowell (racing driver)
Michael Christopher McDowell (born December 21, 1984 in Glendale, Arizona)[1] is an American racing driver. He currently drives the No. 95 car for Leavine Family Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and the No. 27 Toyota Camry part-time for SR² Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He is married to Jami and they have two children, Trace and daughter Emma James.[2]
Early career[edit]
McDowell started out his career at the age of three racing BMX bicycles. He would always win his division because there were not any other three or four year olds to compete against.[citation needed] At the start of each race, someone would have to hold him in the starting gate because his feet did not reach the ground. Then, when Michael was eight years old, he moved to karting with help from his mother Tracy, his father Bill, and his older brother Billy, who were all avid race fans. After ten years in karts, he would win not only the World Karting Association championship, but he would also take back to back undefeated International Kart Federation championships, along with 18 consecutive feature wins.
Open wheel[edit]
From karts Michael moved into Formula Renault with World Speed Motorsports in 2002 and won the Infineon Raceway, Las Vegas, and Firebird International Raceway events in his rookies season. Moving up the ladder, Michael would move to the Star Mazda Series in 2003. He took victories at Sebring and Road America en route to a runner-up finish in the points. Michael won seven races in 2004 en route to winning the series championship. McDowell would be picked up by Champ Car team Rocketsports for Surfer's Paradise and Mexico City, but decided to move on in 2005 to the Grand-Am Cup Series.
During his run for the Star Mazda championship, Michael would meet businessman Rob Finlay at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, where McDowell was an instructor. McDowell and Finlay soon established a partnership, and McDowell would drive his first sports car, a Porsche 996 in the Grand-Am Cup Series for Finlay Motorsports. In 2005, Michael would stay at Finlay, but moved up to the Rolex Sports Car Series, joining veteran Memo Gidley in a BMW powered Riley sponsored by the Make A Wish Foundation. Together, they finished sixth in the overall points and took the team's first victory at Mexico City. McDowell made history by becoming the youngest driver to stand on podium for a Grand-Am race at Barber Motorsports Park,[citation needed] and became the first driver since Mario Andretti to compete in both an open wheel race and a sports car race in the same weekend.[citation needed] Michael would also drive the team's #60 BMW M3 in the Grand-Am Cup series to a podium finish at Daytona. McDowell would stick with Finlay for 2006, and was again partnered with Gidley. The duo would improve to fourth in points despite being winless. Michael would also drive a #15 Ford Mustang with owner Finlay, driving the car to a win at Barber. He would cap off his Grand-Am year with a second place finish at Miller Motorsports Park.
McDowell returned to the series for the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona, driving for Michael Shank Racing and finishing third.[3]
In early 2006, Michael's mother Tracy died in January after battling cancer for a year, at the age of 45. ARCA RE/MAX Series owner Eddie Sharp would put McDowell behind the wheel of his #2 Dodge for five races of the 2006 season, starting with the Governor's Cup 200 at the Milwaukee Mile, where he scored a 34th place finish. McDowell finished in sixth place at Salem, fifth at Talladega, and fourth at Iowa. Michael would return to ESR to run the full schedule for Rookie of the Year honors in 2007. McDowell was involved in controversy at Toledo when his ESR teammate, Ken Butler III spun him late in the race. Butler would take his first win while McDowell would rally for a top ten finish. Michael got his first stock car win at Kentucky Speedway. He followed that up with wins at Pocono, Chicago, and the season finale at Toledo. Although Michael was in contention for the ARCA Re/Max Seroes championship all season, he was unable to pose a serious threat to Frank Kimmel for Kimmel's ninth championship. Michael would score a second place finish in the points along with Rookie of the Year honors, as well as scoring nine pole positions during the season. As McDowell moved to NASCAR, his ESR ride was taken over by former Formula One driver Scott Speed.
McDowell would make his NASCAR debut in the Craftsman Truck Series. Driving the #17 for Darrell Waltrip Motorsports, Michael would qualify 29th and finish 30th after a late wreck. Michael moved to the Busch Series as a developmental driver for Sprint Cup Series team Michael Waltrip Racing. Driving the #00 Toyota, Michael drove at Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead, finishing respectively 20th, 14th, and 32nd.
McDowell was chosen to drive the #00 Cup Series car in 2008 after Dale Jarrett's retirement; David Reutimann replaced Jarrett in the #44 UPS car. Michael started 34th and finished 26th in his Sprint Cup debut, the Goody's Cool Orange 500, after a flat tire near the end of the race. After the race, he was criticized by veteran driver Jeff Burton for having blocked Burton's way to leader Denny Hamlin near the end of the race (McDowell was racing for the Lucky Dog free pass, which Burton did not realize at the time of his comments). In early August 2008, McDowell was pulled from the #00 Toyota Camry Sprint Cup car in favor of veteran NASCAR driver Mike Skinner for three races. Skinner helped evaluate the team's progress, while trying to get the #00 into the top 35 in owner points, though McDowell returned to the ride at Richmond on September 6, 2008. McDowell was again pulled from the #00 Toyota Camry when he failed to qualify for the Camping World RV 400 at Kansas on September 28. McDowell's contract was not renewed by MWR for 2009, when Michael Waltrip decided not to retire and the team did not have sponsorship for another car.
Crash at Texas Motor Speedway[edit]
While performing a qualifying attempt for the 2008 Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on April 4, 2008 McDowell had an accident that was strikingly similar to that of another racer with a road-racing background; Gordon Smiley (who died in a crash during time trials in 1982). McDowell's right front sway bar broke entering Turn 1, which caused the car to hit the SAFER barrier almost head on at approximately 165 miles per hour (266 km/h), according to data obtained and reported by SPEED channel (165 mph to zero mph in one foot, as reported by SPEED's Bob Dillner, before reaccelerating the other direction). The car spun around once while tipping onto its roof, and then barrel-rolled eight times with fire coming out of the engine compartment, shedding debris in all directions, until coming to a stop back onto its tires.[4] A huge dark mark was seen on the SAFER barrier, which showed how hard the car hit the barrier, which had to be repaired (the barrier moved inward when the car hit it), and as a result, qualifying for the race was delayed by an hour. The safety features of the barrier, the HANS device and the Car of Tomorrow racecar protected him.[4] Because of this, he walked away from the crash without injury, and waved to the stunned crowd.[4] Since his old car was destroyed, he had to switch to a backup, and ended up starting at the back of the pack in the race.
In 2009, McDowell drove a part-time schedule for JTG Daugherty Racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. On February 25, 2009 McDowell's first child, Trace Christopher, was born, named after Michael's late mother, Tracy. The baby boy was 7 pounds, 7 ounces and born at 7:00 a.m. McDowell next attempted the April 2009 race at Talladega for Prism Motorsports in the Sprint Cup Series, as regular driver Dave Blaney had a family obligation. After JTG Daugherty Racing ran out of sponsorship support after the second race at Daytona International Speedway, it was announced that he would drive the next two races for MacDonald Motorsports. He also competed several races with Tommy Baldwin Racing in the #36 Toyota Camry. McDowell remained in the top 10 for most of the season. McDowell also competed in the Camping World Truck Series in 2009 for ThorSport Motorsports driving the #98 Chevy Silverado.
In 2010, McDowell started the season for Prism Motorsports. He drove the #55 car, then moved to the #46 team of Whitney Motorsports. In 2011, McDowell drove the #66 Toyota for HP Racing in the Sprint Cup Series. JGR also added the Bucyrus 200 at Road America to McDowell's schedule, leaving open the possibility of more races added. McDowell also drove one race for Joe Gibbs in the Sprint Cup Series at Texas after NASCAR parked Kyle Busch following his actions at a Truck Series event.
In 2012, McDowell ran the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18 Nationwide Series car in select races, and competed in the Sprint Cup Series for Phil Parsons Racing (formerly HP Racing) full-time; the team secured full sponsorship for the first five races of the season.[5] It formed a partnership with Whitney Motorsports and Mike Curb to field McDowell's car, which carried the No. 98.[6]
In the 2013 Daytona 500, McDowell recorded a career high 9th place finish.[7] Later in the season in the Nationwide Series, McDowell won the pole for the inaugural Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio.[8] McDowell finished 2nd behind A. J. Allmendinger.[9]
In October 2013, it was announced that McDowell would be moving to Leavine Family Racing's No. 95 Ford for the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.[10] McDowell failed to qualify for the Daytona 500.[11]

Billboard Names Thrift Shop The Hottest Rap Song Ever
While rap has evolved, there's no denying its ever-growing power. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart, we're counting down the top 100 songs in the tally's quarter-century history. From Salt-N-Pepa to Macklemore, we've got the genre's past quarter-century covered.
The 25th Anniversary Hot Rap Songs ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Hot Rap Songs chart, since the chart's inception in the March 11, 1989, issue. Rankings are based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 having the greatest value and weeks at lower positions proportionately less. Due to various changes in chart rules, chart length and methodology throughout the years, songs had varying reigns at No. 1 and on the chart. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from all 25 years, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference in turnover rates from those periods.

Most people who become recruiters do not last. There are many reasons for that. Poor hiring decisions and inadequate training being high on the list.
But there is another key reason why so few people actually last in the hurly-burly world of agency recruiting.
It's a frigging hard job!
So I know that sometimes you question why you do it. There are times you hate what you do. There are days you go home feeling deflated, worn-out and frankly, useless.
The world is littered with 'ex-recruiters', burnt out, scarred and resentful about their all-too-short recruiting career.
Seriously, the guy who cut my hair last week told me he had 'been a recruiter once'.
It's true too that being a recruiter can be the greatest job of all, but even so, to survive you have to know the pitfalls, prepare for them, minimise their impact where you can, and push through the inevitable challenges this job will throw you.
So what to do?
Subscribe to The Savage Truth and 'Like" our Facebook page to enure you get your recruiting brain-food fix.
Thanks Sandra
Pam, your comment about activity and multiple action going on is exactly right. Too many recruiters pin all their hopes on one or two deals making their month or quarter. When they go belly up it really hurts!
Bingo! Process, Process, Process... When things happen good or bad, we stick to the Process... LOVED LOVED LOVED reading this post!

All of the crew, bar and restaurant staff were so helpful and friendly and could not do enough for you. They have a great entertainment team, which is headed by a brilliant cruise director called Bram Lorenz. We were on the all inclusive drinks package but the drinks prices are very reasonable anyway. We were in one of the recently refurbished cabins (464), which was finished to a high standard.
The food that we received in all of the restaurants was very good. However, the food and service in the stylish a la carte restaurant Mistrals was excellent and well worth the £19pp cover charge.
There is a large selection of shore excursions that you can do during the cruise. We decided to do the Jerusalem & Bethlehem trip, which was great, but it does include a lot of walking. Some of the ports that you dock at are not the best. However, at Larnaca (Cyprus) you can either walk into town it takes 15-20 mins or for a small cover charge get a shuttle bus from the ship. In Alanya (Turkey) you could just get off the ship and walk around. Both the ports are lovely.
We have cruised on larger ships before, but I would rate the service atmosphere and entertainment far better on the Thomson Celebration. All in all we had a fantastic cruise and would certainly go with Thomson cruises again.

Getting off to a quick start is nothing new for Charlie Wi. Now if he can only find a way to finish.
Wi ended his opening round with back-to-back birdies for an 8-under-par 64 on the easier Palm Course at Disney to take a one-shot lead Thursday in the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, the final event on the 2012 PGA Tour schedule.
It's the eighth time Wi has had the 18-hole lead on the PGA Tour, and the third time this year. But the 40-year-old Wi has yet to win on the PGA Tour.
Wi had a one-shot lead over Camilo Villegas and Tommy Gainey.
The top 12 players on the leaderboard all came from the Palm course, which played 1.7 shots easier than the Magnolia. Henrik Stenson and Charles Howell III were among five players who had the low round on Magnolia at 68.

All said and done, the Delta Panther boys had themselves a good day at the track last week (May 10-11).
Delta scored 116 points at the 4A WSL league meet in Grand Junction and finished fourth in a tough field of competitors.
Glenwood Springs won the team title with 163 points. Moffat County was second with 135 points and Eagle Valley was third with 117 points.
Ethan Jack Baier went about his business at last week's 4A league state qualifying meet in Grand Junction. The talented senior has been a dominant force in the jumping events all season long. He was a force in the long, triple, and high jump competitions as evidenced by his first place finishes in all three.
Baier won the long jump with a 22-00.75 jump and hit a career mark of 45-00.5 in the triple jump. A leap of 6-02 earned him the high jump title.

This tab has the latest Android OS, the Jelly Bean, the processor is also good. I able to do a lot of things on this tab like connecting the tab to a large screen through the HDMI port so I can watch my videos and photos with the full family, internet on the move, then there are very interesting games. The battery is also powerful, once it is charged it works for a long time. Infibeam.com your service is excellent. And your customer service people are very responsible guys and they know their job well. So keep up the good work.
I am a first time user of Android phones. I have used iOS and Symbian devices earlier. One thing that comes strikingly good about the Karbonn Smart Tablet 2 is its screen and build quality. For a budget tab I was expecting somewhat plasticky flimsy feel, but build quality is quite good. The touch screen feedback is not so great. I bought this for my 3 year old kid, who insists on playing with my 40-50k devices. So this low budget tab is my insurance for my expensive devices. Also, the device is not currently upgradable to Jelly Beans(as of Sep 20 2012). Does not have a Sim Card, 3G support is through Dongle. I use it only at home, so WiFi connectivity is quite good. Plays Youtube, connects to Play Store, comes with Angry Birds Space, Fruit Ninja etc., bundled. Office software for reading different doc types works fine too. Sound quality is not up to the mark, volume is too low. Earphones come along with the package, but not so great. Advise to buy a good quality earpohones or portable speakers for Media usage. HD videos play great on this tab, the display is excellent. No frame breaks. My primary purpose is to run educational videos for my kid, the smart tab 2 fits the bill perfectly on this one. GMail client comes bundled, setting it up was a breeze. I just had to sign in to Google Account once, and all my apps got activated, no hassles there. VPN connectivity is great as well. Overall a good budget tab.
I was looking for the affordable option of buying a tablet for myself and Karbonn Smart Tab 2 is just great option. I am glad that they now have upgradable Andriod Jelly Bean OS. I recommend it for all especially users like me who have recently started working and need the access to the computer on the go.
I never thought that I would buy a Karbonn tablet but I had to buy for my young son. He is very fond of all the latest gadgets and since this was a good featured tablet at good price I got it for him. He seems to be happy with it and it really works good. It is a smart buy for gifting purpose too as it is good quality, user friendly and reasonable.
There's such a lot of technological advancement these days, before we can actually enjoy exploring various aspects one device, something or the other would have come up. Tablets have well replaced the laptops and even mobile phones these days and therefore, just to walk with the times I thought of getting a tablet. Karbonn Smart really seems to a good option as it has great features and is well priced too.

Oversight of the Federal Government's Intervention at American International Group |
March 24, 2009 | |
William C. Dudley, President and Chief Executive Officer Testimony before the Committee on Financial Services, U.S. House of Representatives Good morning, Chairman Frank, Ranking Member Bachus, and other members of the Committee. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to appear before you today. As you know, on January 27, 2009, I became the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Before I assumed that position, I served as the head of the Markets Group at the New York Fed. I appreciate having this opportunity to discuss the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's involvement with American International Group, Inc. (AIG). Role of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York The Federal Reserve made its decision to lend based on a judgment that a failure of AIG would cause dramatically negative consequences for the financial system and the From the outset, the New York Fed has been sharply focused on addressing two overarching goals with respect to AIG: (1) the stabilization of the company so that it no longer poses a disruptive threat to our financial system and economy and (2) obtaining full repayment of the government funds that have been extended to AIG. In light of the exceptional size and scope of AIG's operations, with over 110,000 employees in more than 130 countries, spanning hundreds of legal entities, it was clear from the beginning that the New York Fed—which had never been engaged in any regulatory oversight of the company—was not in a position to exert day-to-day management control over the company. Rather, the New York Fed's actions have consistently been directed at securing its objectives as lender. As any lender in our position would do, the New York Fed has put into place a loan agreement that contains covenants designed to help ensure ultimate repayment of the loan—but these creditor's rights do not create an ability to manage AIG. Responsibility for AIG's day-to-day affairs continues to rest with AIG's chief executive officer, Edward Liddy, under the oversight of AIG's board of directors. Mr. Liddy, who has only become involved with AIG in a public-spirited attempt to resolve its troubled affairs, has made strides in dealing with AIG's opaque corporate structure, lack of centralized controls and complex risk exposures, but much remains to be done. In light of the inherent conflicts that would arise from either the U.S. government or the Federal Reserve exerting ownership control over the world's largest insurer, the Federal Reserve, with the support of the Treasury Department, directed in the loan agreement that an approximately 77.9 percent equity interest in AIG be issued to an independent trust established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury. The trust, which now holds that controlling equity interest, is overseen by three independent trustees who are of the highest integrity and who have considerable experience leading major companies. These trustees have a legally binding obligation to exercise all of their rights as majority owner of AIG in the best interests of the U.S. taxpayer, with the proceeds of any ultimate sale of shares going directly to the Treasury of the United States. Efforts to Reduce Risk at AIG Financial Products With respect to the retention awards owed to FP employees under their pre-existing contracts, we believe that Mr. Liddy weighed a number of factors in deciding not to attempt to prevent payment, including:
In conducting our oversight as lender, the New York Fed did not see reason to disagree with Mr. Liddy's judgment from a risk perspective. Equally important, we did not think it was legally permissible—or within the proper role of the New York Fed—to attempt to substitute our judgment for that of Mr. Liddy in this circumstance, even though we found the payment of the retention awards extremely distasteful. The broad public disapproval of sizeable retention payments being directed toward the unit most responsible for last fall's downfall of AIG is understandable. Americans naturally feel outraged when confronted with news of such payments to an entity that worsened the financial crisis and that is dependent on taxpayer funds to stay out of bankruptcy court where these contracts would not have been fully honored. Moreover, the payments occurred during a time when so many Americans are struggling to find jobs, seeing their wages reduced or watching their retirement savings plummet as a result of a crisis they had no hand in creating. This feeling of outrage underscores the urgent need to reform the system of compensation at our financial institutions to more closely align the incentives of executives, owners and taxpayers. Congress saw fit to impose appropriate compensation restrictions on recipients of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funding, and we think it is crucial for Congress and the U.S. Department of the Treasury to continue to craft effective and sensible policies in this area. Although oversight of TARP-related compensation matters rests with the Treasury Department, the New York Fed has played a role since September in reviewing the adequacy of AIG's corporate governance procedures. This review has helped to identify longstanding deficiencies with respect to compensation committee governance, compensation benchmarking and lack of centralized control over compensation policy. We will continue to work with our colleagues at Treasury and the independent trustees to ensure that AIG's management properly addresses these deficiencies. Ongoing Involvement with AIG In all that we have done, we have been motivated by two goals: to preserve the stability of the U.S. economy and to protect the U.S. taxpayer. The threat of a major systemic risk event has been averted by honoring all of AIG's contractual obligations around the globe—from insurance policy obligations owed to individuals, municipalities and businesses across the U.S., to the posting of collateral under credit default swap arrangements with the full range of counterparties recently disclosed. As unattractive as certain aspects of this treatment may be, these negative aspects have followed unavoidably from the decision to avert a systemically destructive bankruptcy. I look forward to your questions today and, in the longer term, to working with you and your staffs on the broader public policy questions—such as formulation of a resolution regime for institutions like AIG and consideration of the appropriate supervisory structure for OTC derivatives—that are posed by the events at AIG. Thank you. |

i'm trying a new system in my house when it comes to dinner....i'm trying to plan a weeks worth of meals....and then making a complete list of everything i will need for the week and eliminate my numerous trips to the grocery store...i'm also trying to help DH shed some weight...so i'm trying low calorie...low carb meals...does anyone else have a system that they use??
wow jenjen good for hubby...7lbs already?!!!
just wanted to say one of my fav healthy cook book authors is Anne Lindsay...she has a whole series of books...great recipes and the ingredients are easy to subsititute - very forgiving
The Canadian Diabetes Assoc. publish excellent cook books. They are a little expensive but well organized with recipes for soups, appetizers, meals and desserts. All recipes are low glycemic so you are eating only good carbs. I have bought one and prefer it to the Weight Watchers cook books.
Have a look at their web site as there is a wealth of GI information on there with a list of foods. The regional offices sell the cook books and I am sure they would mail one to you.
The best I have found by far is the CDA.
that's great then....sorry i had two posts, my system went down for a split second and i sent again
Jen, my dr. had told me that ground meat no matter how lean it is, it is always high in cholesterol. Just cooking with it once in a while is ok.
Since he loves bread, try buying pumpernickel bread which has a low G.I index and try the whole wheat pastas. I don't think that we should avoid eating carbohydrates at all, everything has to be done in moderation, no matter what it is :)
It is tough, because I am trying to lose some weight too, but have many other medical problems as well, so sometimes it's harder than one thinks or says :hairpull:
Good luck with the new diets! :)

Debbie, my friend from work, went to a diet place (can't remember which one it was) and they gave her a meat loaf recipe that was so good she gave it to us and we love it. Basically you just combine lean meat (usually we combine beef with prok, so maybe ground turkey with ground veal), then add vegetables that you have ground up in the processor. We generally put in green pepper, onion, garlic, carrots, mushrooms and celery. Then a shot or two of soya sauce, lots of freshly ground pepper, and maybe some onion powder or a seasoning like Joe's Stuff for some extra zip. Then bake it just like you normally would at 350 degrees. We sometimes put tomato sauce over it. It is a little bit less firm than a regular meat loaf with the eggs and all that stuff to bind it, but it is absolutely delicious, and you are getting a ton of vegetables, not a lot of meat, and all of it healthy. We eat it with boiled potatoes, but you don't need a big serving of those.
Hope you like it...
Prior to starting a diet it's always recommended that you see a doctor first. Will DH do this?
Portion control is another thing, my best friends husband chows down on large Costco steaks that should feed his entire family and wonders why he can't loose weight.
I showed him that the palm of your hand or something the size of a deck of cards is all you need for protein and he thought I was kidding.
With you mentioning heart attack and diabetes in his mom, most definitly go and get the Schwarzbein Principal. You (and hubby especially) need to understand what is going on and that book will help you out a lot with that. It will also help you to be able to explain to your kids before they end up with problems as adults since they also have a good chance of being insulin senstive if they follow the same path as their dad. The best thing that can happen with things like this in the family is to get the food worked out and then no one has to worry about this stuff again.
Oh one other thing I forgot to mention, caffeine. That stuff (as well as alcohol) triggers insulin all on it's own so if hubby is into cola or coffee, it's good to ween him off and onto decaf. That will help a lot when it comes to cravings and low blood sugar.
My DH is a driver too....and because he doesn't get a lunch break he needs to eat on the go so he would always resort to KFC, burger joint, fish and chips, somewhere he could run in grab a meal to go and eat in the truck between deliveries. Even though he knew his eating was unhealthy he had trouble finding alternatives....a low cal veggie sub just doesn't cut it when you're unloading freight from your truck all day.
I started just making a bit extra each night when I'd prepare dinner and DH could take it for lunch the next day or even a couple of days later. We bought a small soft side cooler and some icepacks and we load it with some fruit, whatever leftovers he wanted, and he also takes a small tupperware with some cereal and a tupperare with milk and he'll have a mid morn cereal break at one of his stops. Everyonce in a while regardless of what gets packed he might still be hungry and he'll grab a slice of pizza or a small burger but at least it's not a regular occurrence anymore and he burns so many calories at work it isn't sitting on his waistline.
Also disturbing as it is we watched Supersize Me. At first when we watched it I thought ...oh please it's a little over the top ...who eats like that? but then when I sat back and DH and I were talking about it I remember in High School the kids walking over to the mall to the fast food court or the McD's each day. That was 5 meals a week that were not really meals at all plus whatever they'd eat on the weekends which would probably be more of the same type of fast food.
Yes, the withdrawal is actually exactly that and is identical to alcohol for some (actually most alcoholics do have insulin issues which is why it can run in families...My family has diabetis, hypoglycemia (me), weight issues, and heart desease which are all now known to be insulin at work which is actually the heredity rather than them being all separate problems as is commonly thought). I had no idea what it can do and what true poison sugars are for many people. It is why most people have such a hard time the first two weeks on low carb and it is easier to ween off a bit first or it can be a total pain because it is a very physical addiction.
I am definitly a carb addict. I am fine as long as I avoid them altogether, but give it one holiday, one slip, and it's like that first drink to an alcoholic, all bets are off and I have to start all over again going through withdrawal.
Jenjen, you husband sounds classic. The moods from starches or sugars are his insulin again. It's storing all the sugars he eats instantly and causing his blood sugar to drop. He may also need a nap, be moody, get confused, weak, sweaty, have achy joints and muscles, when his blood sugar has dropped. worst of all is being more hungry and craving more starches/sugars which of course keeps the cycle going. You can set your watch by people when you realize this is happening. My blood sugar drops very quickly and within 20 minutes of eating something that triggers my insulin I experience symptoms. Other people can take up to 3 hours.
Hubby might want to test himself. Have him eat an all carb meal (like pasta and tomato sauce with garlic bread) and then he can monitor how he feels for a few hours. If he needs a nap, more food, etc. note the time since eating and that is how fast his blood sugar drops. Then have him eat a meal of protein and above ground veggies (no corn), no grains, no sugars. That could be steak or salmon or chicken and veggies and salad (or bacon and eggs, no toast) and see how he feels after that. If he notices how much better he feels (more energy, clearer thinking etc.) that may be all the motivation he needs to avoid the foods that get him and then he won't feel deprived at all when he chooses nuts instead of chips for a snack.
BTW another sign of having low blood sugar is not being hungry at all. I can go a day or more without eating and it not bother me and it took me a while to realize that was because my blood sugar had crashed and basically was not the way a body was supposed to behave. Strange but true, the less I eat, the fatter I get and that is because of insulin being wonky.
I know for me, when I started to pay attention to what foods were doing what to me, it gave me much more incentive to eat right than doing it to lose weight ever did. So every bit helps when trying to stick to it.
If he is a fast food person, he can still do okay. He can order burgers without the buns, salad instead of fries or instance. He could have KFC if he takes the coating off first. I got really used to ordering triple burgers and tossing the buns. Restaurants are getting more used to doing things without the breads so even Subway will give you the fillings without the sandwich if you want, you can have pizza and just eat the topping.
Protein drinks and bars are also a good fast, easy to carry option if he's hitting the drive thru because he is just plain hungry. You can mix drinkgs at home with frozen fruit and take them along and it's like drinking a smoothie.
Meanwhile, do read labels. It's absolutely shocking how much sugar is in things. Even some salt has sugar in it. There are brands and varieties of salad dressing, canned foods, etc. with no sugars at all. Pastas can be had in whole grain whic is lower GI and tastes better anyway. All low fat products have sugar in them (they replace the fats with corn starch and such which is sugar as the body sees it) so that's why the middle isles get tricky.
Anyway, good luck sorting it all and know that the sugars are more of a problem with weight than the calories so if hubby is thinking he will go hungry, that isn't necessary. Better to have the extra veggies or protein than get hungry and aim for what's fast and easy.
I have used it and lost at least 30 lbs it is the only diet I have used that worked i did not feel hungry or I didn't get crabby ( at least I don't think I did)dI have to elave the carbs alone or I put it on fast. It is tough for you DH as he is a truck driver is he not and they sit all day maybe he needs to get out for a walk in the evening and that will help and it is something you can do together.
McD == Massive Cholesterol Diet!!
Ever eaten a blooming onion at The Outback?? That thing has 3,000 calories, not to mention more fat than your body needs for a week!!
KFC - Tell him the initials stand for "Keep the Fat Coming". Heard that in Jamaica. Maybe you can think of something like that as a reminder for McD's.
From what I've been told, if you go to a Dr. B weigh-in and you haven't lost weight that week, you either get a warning not to let it happen again, or you get booted from the program right then and there. That's the positive reinforcement that you need!! :hairpull:
jenjen, I think your plan is great, but there's one important factor that's being overlooked. Your hubby needs to be the one to make sure that he's eating right. What he puts in his mouth is his responsibility, not yours. Sure, you can definitely help him by preparing good, healthy meals (I'm guessing he won't cook??) But he has to be in the right mind-set to lose the weight, and he can't rely on you to do everything for him.
One really good thing he can do is keep a food journal -- what time he eats, what he eats, and the quantity that he eats. That can be a real eye-opener, let me tell you!!!! It really isn't so much about counting calories, but more about being aware of what you're eating through the course of the day, making sure your you're making good food choices (for exmaple, whole grain bread instead of white bread), and trying to space out your meals and snacks so that you're eating every few hours. It's important to NOT feel hungry -- it's also important not to relieve your hunger with a bag of chips or cookies. Fruits, veggies, complex carbs, yoghurt, nuts..... and as DBD said, stay away from processed foods as much as possible.
Hope this helps :)
Yeah..I was thinking about what I wrote in my post...and I was DEFINITELY not as bad as a heroin addit!! OMG!!! But I was a crazy..b**chy woman for 2 weeks!! LOL
:D Mel
Well, I tried Atkins too..and had great results. I was on the "diet" for 2 weeks and the weight-loss was noticable..to everyone. The only problem is...I was like a Heroin addict going through withdrawl!! Seriously, I guess being addicted to carbs is pretty much the same as any other additiction-smoking..alcohol...and it was a huge mistake for me to try quitting cold turkey like that. I was moody..couldn't sleep...it got so bad that DH told me that he'd rather I stayed at my current weight than be on this diet. I am generally a pleasant person, but I found I was screaming and yelling all the time..especially at the poor kids. :o
Anyhew, the point is...Atkins wasn't a very good fit for me. I'm doing something new. Since Xmas..I've given up drinking Pepsi..well, pop of any kind. And trust me..this is a huge step towards a healthy lifestyle for me..I drank a LOT of pop.
I'm not seeing any results yet..but I'm sure it has to pay off eventually. All I drink now is water and skim milk and a daily cup of coffee (I also gave up coffee cream). I also bought a new Eliptical Trainer. I have to admit..I don't use it that often..but even if I get on it twice a week..its way more exercise than I was getting before.
:) Mel
Well here's a topic I unfortunately know a lot about. What I will say is I love Atkins and my doctor actually recommends it (he's the one who had to convince me because I thought he was crazy). I don't want to get into a debate, but done by the book (this is key), it works very well for many people and in particular men. After the initial induction period it doesn't vary all that much from WW or some other programs which have now adjusted their programs to be lower carb/gi. I can tell you you can't do Atkins half way. It is not possible nor is it advised.
Meanwhile, the big truth is a person has to find what works for them as an individual in lifestyle and body type. It has to suit the person as it is how they eat forever to work (or no matter what 'diet' the fat comes back).
What you could do is go low GI. That is a good sensible way to eat low carb that feels a lot less restrictive to most people. It is also medically sound and can easily adapt to individual bodies. For instance, any sugar in any form turns to fat in my body. That includes the sugars produced from eating grains and root veggies as well as fruits. So what works for me would raise eyebrows in others. If I follow the GI, I know for my body I can not eat anything rated over 30 to lose weight. Other people can go to 50 or 70 on the scale and do great so it's a little more flexible in that regard. YOu see the list, figure out where you fit, and eat those foods. So using the GI you can adjust foods as needed based on your body quite easily.
If you want to really understand it all, hit the library and get out a book called The Schwarzbein Principal as it explains how foods work in the body. They when you look at the GI (glycemic index... you can search that out on the web and there are books) you will understand it better. The first book is a very easy read and very well written compared to many of the other explainations out there.
One thing you will learn is to see where the body fat is located. If, for instance, hubby has a beer gut, he has insulin at work and that means he is eating too much high GI (it converts to sugar quickly, kicks the insulin into action, and insulin gets busy storing it as fat around the middle). Beer has more sugar in it than distilled, so typically big beer drinkers develop the stereotypical look. It's classic for what sugars will do to a body sensitive to sugars. Pasta, white flours, potato, and sugar in all forms in too large a quantity (compared to other foods) will cause the same reaction so once you see where the fat is, you can start to figure out what works for that body rather than using trial and error to find what works.
Meanwhile, many diet sites (like ediets.com or atkins.com or just about any major name group) offer menues, recipes, and shopping lists on them. That might help you make your lists. I think ediets will email you a weekly list based on whatever program you choose to use if you register with them. I think there is a charge for that, but if you visit the site you can find that out.
Anyway, good luck and I hope you find something that works for you and your husband. Sometimes all it takes is never shopping the middle isles. If you avoid prepared, packaged, processed foods, you can often cut the sugars, starches, extra calories out without a lot of effort (well other than actually more food prep time) or having anyone in the family feeling deprived. Best of all, everyone ends up eating better foods anyway and getting the nutrition they may not be getting in processed foods.

Songwriter Hall of Famer John Bettis has watched his songs climb the country, pop, R&B and adult contemporary radio airplay charts over his decades as a lyricist in the music business. His pen is behind hits including George Straitâs âHeartland,â Barbara Mandrellâs âOne of a Kind Pair of Fools,â Whitney Houstonâs âOne Moment in Timeâ and Madonnaâs âCrazy for You.â
But it was his unexpected collaboration with members of a different chart-topping rock band that led to a song recorded by the King of Pop. Bettis sat down with Nashville Songwriter Association Internationalâs (NSAI) Executive Director Bart Herbison to talk about writing âHuman Natureâ for Michael Jackson, with a little help from Toto.
About the series
In partnership with Nashville Songwriters Association International, each week we will release a new video featuring NSAI executive director Bart Herbison interviewing a Nashville songwriter about his or her work.
