Jeremy Guscott Q&A
Among the topics Jerry discusses this week are:
- Why Saracens are boring, but also won't care
- Whether Owen Farrell or Toby Flood should play fly-half for England
- If current leaders Ulster will go on to win the Pro12 title
- Whether South Africa can derail New Zealand's serene progress
- Who a young fly-half should study to get his team moving
Jerry answers questions posted on the website at the start of every week - entries are now closed for this Q&A. This week's answers appear below.
Are Saracens the most boring side to ever have graced the Premiership soil? UnitedWonTheTitleIn1992
Why can't Sarries seem to score a try? And if they keep winning does it matter? TheLastKingofEngland
Hi guys, I do find it fairly boring to watch Saracens play their brand of rugby but winning, as they did against Harlequins at the weekend with a last-minute penalty, is so, so important, and Sarries boss Mark McCall and his squad would appear to be happy with how things are going. Their philosophy is to kick, chase, defend, concede fewer tries than most and kick their penalties - and that seems to be as far-reaching a gameplan as Sarries want to have.
It will win games and the occasional one-off big match, but it's certainly not the future of rugby and you just have to look at the best teams in the world recently, and those winning leagues and cups, to see that. New Zealand, Leinster and Harlequins all take a more more creative approach.
I'm not a fan of Sarries' play. I understand winning is what it's all about but I believe they will suffer in the long run if they don't change and adapt. They need to develop their players in the more creative and attacking direction the game is moving.
Owen Farrell or Toby Flood at 10 for England in the autumn internationals? Saracens are quite frankly playing the most boring rugby known to man, but Farrell brings defensive capabilities that Flood doesn't have. But to beat southern hemisphere teams we need to score tries and Tigers have scored plenty except against Sarries. Thoughts? Rach1985
We have to understand each player's qualities and relate that to the England team and how boss Stuart Lancaster wants them to play. I believe Lancaster and assistant coach Andy Farrell are planning a conservative approach and Farrell Jnr can fit into that gameplan.
Leicester's Flood has the edge on Farrell when it comes to attack but Farrell is ahead defensively and, remarkably for someone so young, he has more composure when it comes to kicking at goal - he was back to form with the boot against Quins on Saturday. However, Flood is ahead on running the game, so at the moment I would go with Flood.
Gloucester have had a decent start, three wins; one draw; one loss. We have a good team and excellent new coach. How far do you think we can go this year? can we keep up with the top four (Quins, Northampton, Sarries, Leicester)? It is a tough ask as they are such strong teams! What do you think? Kingcesc
Hi Kingcesc, Gloucester have a quick talented backline but don't have the pack to compete consistently against Quins, Saints, Tigers and Sarries. That's the predicament Gloucester are in; how they balance that out is down to Nigel Davies. He needs to bolster that pack, once he's done that they will be up there regularly.
Hi Jeremy, having read that Exeter recently bought Premiership shares from Leeds, I was amazed to find that promoted clubs appear to get nowhere near the financial support of the established clubs. Surely the Rugby Football Union or Premier Rugby need to either balance the funding or ringfence the league - they can't continue to try to unofficially ringfence it financially. Thanks, Jamie. jamiexv
"I've said many times in this Q&A that New Zealand are a level ahead of the rest but South Africa are probably the only team in the world that could cause them problems""
Hi Jamie, it does sound a bit unfair but all that was established way back when, and it is what it is. I agree the Premiership need to look at levelling the playing field for promoted clubs so they at least start with the same funding. It seems fair to put it as part of the promotion criteria that the team promoted has to buy those shares automatically and if they can't, they shouldn't be promoted.
Hi Mr Guscott, George Ford, should he move on from Leicester? I think the lad has a real chance of being England's future number 10 but if he is only limited to an appearance now and then for Leicester, surely he is better off moving and getting more game time as the fly-half elsewhere. What's your view? Bath_BTGOG
Hi, the decision is totally George Ford's and currently he appears to be happy learning his trade at Tigers. He should know the time to move on is if he feels he isn't getting a fair shot at competing with Toby Flood for the 10 shirt.
Because of his size (he's 5ft 9in and weighs less than 13 stone) he needs a decent pack in front of him so he doesn't spend a lot of the game defending. Northampton have a strong pack and that looks the best fit for him if he moves, but if it was known he was looking for a change, I'm sure a lot of teams would be interested in his services.
His big test will be if he can perform consistently when playing regularly at Premiership and European level - all the signs suggest he will do well.
Hi Jerry, you don't seem to have much faith in London Welsh, even though they have had good results recently. So you still think they will go down? And if so, why? Aaron Paul
Hi Paul, London Welsh had little time to prepare for life in the Premiership and with the league being so competitive I believed they would be relegated. I haven't changed my mind despite Welsh winning a couple of games because I don't believe they have the depth in quality of players other teams do. I don't write this wanting London Welsh to be relegated, but it's my expectation that they will be.
Hi Jeremy, after Ulster's superb performance on Friday, a fitting tribute to the late Nevin Spence, do you think they are now ready to seriously challenge for the Pro12 title? Rob
Hi Rob, Ulster are a good side, as they proved last season by reaching the Heineken Cup final. They only finished sixth in the Pro12 league but I guess the Heineken Cup took over as their priority.
It's hard for a team to compete on all fronts, but they will have their priorities and not having to worry too much about qualifying for the Heineken Cup via the Pro12 means the league probably takes second place behind doing well in Europe. They've given themselves a great chance of winning the Pro 12 with the fine start they've made and I would expect them to challenge for honours.
Injured blind-side Dan Lydiate is by far the best in his position. I think it's a huge loss for Wales - do you agree? ChubbyPandas
Lydiate will be missed without doubt. He reminds me a lot of Richard Hill, the England World Cup winner.
Hi Jerry, after watching two truly awful performances this weekend from the Blues and Leinster (both quarter-finalists in last year's Heineken Cup) we can't really blame England and France for wanting changes in the Heineken. The RaboDirect Pro12 is an absolute joke! No wonder attendances aren't great, it's being treated like a glorified training session by some teams. Dave Morgan
Hi Dave, I believe the Pro12 teams have an opportunity to play the game as the Super XV do but haven't realised it yet; the sooner they do, the better the performances will be. I accept the weather conditions are different but not for the entire season.
The Pro12 at the moment has the better players compared to the English Premiership in terms of possible Lions, but the brand of rugby isn't commensurate with the superior ability. It needs the top players playing more regularly and the teams' attitude has to be to produce an enviable product that will have the supporters wanting to watch.
Hello Jeremy, how do you fancy Edinburgh Rugby and/or Glasgow Warriors' chances in the Heineken Cup this year? 07015678
Hi, it's a tough ask for both teams given the strength of their groups. They wouldn't be many people's favourites in either group but Edinburgh and Glasgow are used to being underdogs and will give it a good go.
Hi Jeremy, ahead of what looks to be shaping up as an epic encounter between the All Blacks and South Africa on Saturday, do you believe that the ABs have stepped up another gear? How do you feel the northern hemisphere teams are going to cope with the explosive and technical play from the ABs in November? Regards, Mark. Mark McKinnon
Hi Mark, I've said many times in this Q&A that New Zealand are a level ahead of the rest, but South Africa are probably the only team in the world that could out-muscle them up front and cause them problems. I don't really expect the All Blacks to have any problem beating the home union teams, unless star fly-half Dan Carter isn't fit to play.
Hello Jeremy, I play fly-half for my rugby team and I never seem to be able to get my backline moving really well, any tips? Also, our forwards never seem to be able to secure the ball at rucks, any tips for them! Thanks, Tom. TomHunter
Hi Tom, for you I would suggest watching the best 10 in the world, the aforementioned Dan Carter. Look how he positions himself to receive the ball, and how he runs the game through his passing and kicking. His decision-making is also of the highest order. Doing the right thing at the right time - when to kick, when to pass - is key for a fly-half.
Have your forwards watch the ABs as well. They aren't the biggest but they have adopted a gameplan that means they use their strengths - speed, skill and superior technique.

If you are talking about level playing fields you need to take into account player numbers, revenue per country , do i need to go on... England and France will on average do better because they are bigger- just accept the way things are and enjoy the competition .
We don't try and change .NZ because they are so domenent

It does seem that English clubs are angling for a compromise, with 8 from each league which seems reasonable, but this would badly effect the Italian sides, who would likely miss out.
The other alternative is to have a 32 team cup, 8 groups of 4, with 2 sides qualifying from each group, so an additional knock out round That means more TV games and a fairer qualifying system as well.

@85 "and they're bound to win if asked to play on a level playing field."
Your right there - 5 out of the last 7 to Irish sides. I reckon it's Ulsterrrrs turn this year.
Comment number 85.TheLastKingOfEngland
4th October 2012 - 16:05
@80 You're right the Eng&Fra unions shouldn't receive 6 places when Ire&Wal unions receive 2. None of them should receive any. The PRL&Top14 should receive 6 as should the Rabo. I don't see why the rabo fans care so much anyway as they're all so convince how superior their teams are.and they're bound to win if asked to play on a level playing field.
Comment number 84.ade370
4th October 2012 - 15:58
@80 Dave. Because I reiterate again - your respective union leagues all joined to form 1 league. We wouldn't be having this argument if all the various unions had kept their own leagues and qualification system. Then Wales 3, Ireland 3, Scot 2 and Italy 2 would be perfectly fine with us unhappy brits.

Lamp Thinks It's a Speaker
July 25th, 2007
This may look like some sort of funky 2-way speaker perched on a tall stand, but it's actually a floor lamp.
The Lightspeaker Lamp from Sweden's LYX Furniture and Light features a "tweeter" and "woofer" which reflect light instead of sound. There's even a little "volume" knob which is actually a dimmer for the lamp. I also dig the coiled power cable that more like a telephone cord than a source of electricity.
Designer Michael Malmborg's unique lighting fixture produces a soft white glow, since most of the light is reflected back into the frosted acrylic "acoustic" chamber.

If one is not satisfied with the question and answers then he can also use ccna study guides to be honest I have not used any ccna study guide. Just clear my exam with question and answers only.

Backpacking was fantastic! And it was very relaxing until the freaking boyscouts invaded our hand-picked land and began sawing off LIVE tree branches for their fire!

No sugar February
So i've been easing back into JUDDD lately and am adjusting quite well this time around! However, today's an UD and I had dunkin' for breakfast - a caramel latte and two donuts. It's still well within the 1700 cals I need to have for the day, but I just don't feel right eating like this. I know it's okay to allow treats, but for whatever reason, I feel like for myself it's not. So, I think in February I am going to do a no-sugar challenge. Between JUDDD and Fast 5, I think by March 1, i'll be back in those size 8s again!
Anyone want to join me? :shake:
Have fun, though! That's the beauty of JUDDD. If you want to eat no sugar, you can.
I understand and wish you luck! I am not ready to go on the NO sugar train yet as I am new to JUDDD and enjoying some bad carbs on my UDs too much right now!
Good luck! I think it's a great plan!
Well, I have been under 15g a sugar a day for 98% of the last 8 months. No lie. This includes counting the sugar in my scrambled eggs and such too.
HOWEVER, now that I am committing to JUDDD I did find myself eyeing some sugary treats at the store today. Not sure how that will pan out (I ended up not buying any), but if I get off the no-sugar train you can have my seat--it is warm! :rofl:
I wish you all good luck, and will be cheering you on. From the sidelines.
I eat some of everything now, and that's one of the things I treasure about JUDDD and this way of managing my weight. I finally feel terrific after several years, and I love all my food choices, include the rare but occasional donut. Well, lattes more often. LOL
But one of the great things about doing JUDDD is our freedom to make the choices that work best for us, so you get to do a sugar-free February. Go for it! Good luck! I think you're going to be at goal very shortly!
February, as in Valentine's Day Month with all the wonderful chocolate treats around that I get to legally eat every other day? Uumm...no thanks but will be cheering you on from the sidelines:jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
Sorry, lol, not willing to give up on sugar here either, after 10 years of Atkins.
Will cheer you on too.
Thanks all for the good luck! I just need a break, I feel like i'm eating myself sick with "whatever I want". Or maybe I'm doing JUDDD wrong? For example, on DDs, all I eat is 1/2 a wrap with buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato and a little bit of blue cheese. It is about 400 calories and fills me pretty well. I mean, we can eat whatever we want on a DD, as long as it comes in under our DD cal allowance, right? Also, yes I only eat 1x a day on DDs, as the only way i can survive a DD is by fasting. A lot of diet coke helps :laugh: On UDs, i'll have a whole wrap with chicken, cheese, avocado, peppers, lettuce and tomato, those come in about 700 cals. With our sandwiches (i get them from the office cafe) they can come with either chips or pretzels. Would it be bad if I had chips with my wrap every UD? Or should I have something healthier? Dinner is usually something ordered out, like another sandwich or a slice of veggie pizza. I try to make sure everything usually adds up to 1700-1800 cals for the day. <- that's the important point right? I mean i'm not eating totally "empty", right? :confused: Pat, Linda, Sophie, whoever else could hopefully shed some light on this, Am i right in my thinking? Or should I be eating differently?
Remember to get enough protein, especially on your UDs, since we don't get much food to eat on DDs and may be a little slight on protein on those days. And I favor lots and lots of veggies and fruits of all kinds.. lots of wide variation. But I'm older, so grew up in a time when we felt those foods were very nourishing to us, even the *starchy* vegetables.
It doesn't really matter to JUDDD what foods you choose for your diet as long as the calorie numbers are adhered to. It could be Twinkies. BUT, we all try to be fairly sensible about our food choices so that we are feeding ourselves pretty well too.
Like I say, I remember what foods we ate in the 1940s - 1950s... and we ate everything, and nothing was considered a bad or taboo food.. or *poison*. It was just food. I just didn't see fat people in my town back then. Everyone was pretty slim, active, strong and vibrant, and still relied on bread and potatoes at their meals. :laugh: I'd have sure liked to have pizza more often back then though. Not so many pizza shops much back then.
I even remember food rationing in the UK, so you aren't quite alone Pat. lol.
I don't eat sugar (I do use some AS) and I will support you with your no-sugar challenge! :shake:
Pat, you were lucky in that most of your food was unprocessed and incredibly fresh. It's a guarantee that if the food were still the same we'd all be much healthier. I absolutely attribute my getting so sick to all the crap I grew up with.
My mother worked 3 jobs and my father had no clue what he was doing when he prepared our food, so we often ate hamburger helper, chicken nuggets, anything that was frozen or very easy to prepare. My house was ALWAYS stocked with little debbie's treats. They were cheap, and in a household with three kids and husband (who to this day can eat an entire thing of oreos in one sitting) food had to be affordable. Unfortunately all the affordable food is usually no good for you.
No wonder I was 200 lbs by the time I was 16. I still to this day have a massively hard time kicking my sweet tooth. These past two days I cut way way back on my carb intake to help get things going and I can totally feel withdrawal symptoms from just eating under 75 grams. The only sugary thing I'm consuming is some strawberries with this low carb chocolate mousse (sweetened with stevia) I found a recipe for. But my body is totally screaming for some real sugar.
For me, the sin and the causative agent and the villain has never been the simple flour and the granulated table sugar. For me the problem arose when they started putting all the additives into our foods. Stuff to keep it from growing stale so fast. Stuff to prevent it from starting to grow mold. Stuff to take the place of another ingredient which could then save the manufacturer some money. So it ceased to be just the old fashioned food that mama used to make.
I know I'm in the vast minority here when I say that I don't consider sugar and flour to be the evil that many others at LCF do. Nor pasta, potatoes, fruit, etc. For me, it's just food. But I rarely buy Little Debbies. (Although their Swiss Cake Rolls were awfully tasty! LOL) But we did just finish a lovely banana cake I baked from scratch, frosted with butter & cream cheese frosting! That was tasty too, and didn't have a single chemical additive to preserve it. It was just an old fashioned banana cake.
I buy very little convenience food, very little processed food. Mostly we're back to eating just plain old-fashioned made-from scratch-at-home food. So that's what we do these days. Along with keeping tabs on calorie numbers.
Pat, you're talking about the time before high frucose corn syrup went into so many foods. I agree with you that it is not the carbs that are the big problem, it is the unnatural stuff.
Also foods affect people differently. I love a baked (white) potato with eggs over easy for breakfast. It feels so nourishing to me. Wheat, I'm less good with. I try to limit it.
I love the expression that JUDDD decriminalizes foods! I thought I was off sugar permanantly during the few months when I was low carbing (sorry, I'm not going to do a no sugar Feb, either- but do wish you the best with it!:hugs:). Now I am experimenting with having some. I don't want it to be an every day thing, but I am enjoying it sometimes.
Most days, I enjoy a cup of plain whole milk yogurt with berries as a type of dessert (even DDs, I just use less yogurt), and that seems decadent. Or I have a square of very dark chocolate and find I don't want any more.
But if there is the occasion and something I want, I go ahead and have a little. For example, I'm usually quite satisfied at a birthday party to have a few bites of cake. I don't need a whole piece, and the taste quickly starts becoming "too sweet" to me if I do. I find most sweet things are self-limiting for me in that way.
I just have to be careful about candies and things that are so easy to throw back and eat mindlessly, and so little of it adds up to so many calories!!
But even so, on JUDDD as long as I allowed for those calories on my UDs, it didn't matter where the calories came from - M&Ms or steak, the weight still came off.
I do like to care for my blood glucose system since I'm someone who should be caring to prevent future problems, and so I like to limit sweets (like candies) to when I really, really want them. That might be 1 x month.
I won't be committing to sugar-free at any time, but I wish you well in this. I understand when you feel you're eating too many candies and things for your own good, and while I too have cut back, I know I will enjoy them at times, hopefully in small portions.
I just need a break, I feel like i'm eating myself sick with "whatever I want". Or maybe I'm doing JUDDD wrong? For example, on DDs, all I eat is 1/2 a wrap with buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato and a little bit of blue cheese. It is about 400 calories and fills me pretty well. I mean, we can eat whatever we want on a DD, as long as it comes in under our DD cal allowance, right? Also, yes I only eat 1x a day on DDs, as the only way i can survive a DD is by fasting.

Pat, Linda, Sophie, whoever else could hopefully shed some light on this, Am i right in my thinking? Or should I be eating differently?
Yes, whatever you like on DD and helps fill you up is fine. Many of us eat a lot of low calorie proteins and veggies because it helps keep us full.
You mentioned sandwiches, chips on UDs - I enjoy potato chips with sandwiches, but I try to limit it to a handful. Pickles are also good to go along with the sandwich and adds something else crunchy along with the chips.
Sandwiches can be quite healthy, doesn't sound to me like you're having "empty" calories. Sandwiches are like a mini salad, with meats, cheese, vegetables. You can do fats from mayo, evoo, etc. So I think a sandwich is a good thing done right, and quite filling.
And yeah, I agree with you that it's only smart to choose the foods that make you feel good and avoid those that cause you issues. Very much meat fat makes me nauseous. Really gaks me out. But I can consume a LOT of dairy fat without a problem.
Theoretically it would be possible to nothing but candy bars and french fries and, as long as you kept within each day's calorie allotment, lose weight. I must have finally reached some level of maturity ... can't imagine enjoying that anymore.
February is not a good no-sugar month for me - big vacation weekend coming up during which I plan to pretend I never heard of needing to lose weight. That sounds like a most excellent idea for March though!
Finally, wow, from the description of the sandwich, that is one heck of an office cafe!!
For me...cutting out anything makes me want it more...and, sadly, usually wakes up my sleeping ED monster!
However, I wish you well on your challange, and hope you post often and let us know how it goes...wonder if you will love it, and want to keep going, or if all those easter eggs will prove a bigger lure?
My aunt cut out sugar many years ago, and i can always remember her picking out all the raisins from her sugar free musli...cos they just tasted "too sweet!" Mind you, her skin really improved, it was absolutely beautiful after a few weeks sugar free.
In the same vein, I am now enjoying a few made with real sugar treats. Our custodian at work is 85 years old and she loves to bake delicious cakes and cheesecakes and so forth. She brings us some handmade delicacy every week and I can now indulge with the rest of the staff. Gosh that woman can cook. AND CLEAN. We have a made from scratch lemon pound cake in the breakroom now and this is an UD. Hallelujah!!
Good luck with a sugar free February. I am enjoying my new found freedom too much to join in.
Best of luck!!!!
Maple is wonderful with anything!!!!
Amen, Nancy! Lol LOVE the Justin's. I'll sometimes even carry the single serve packets as an "emergency" meal. 200 calories but still filling.
I'm so sorry--but if I ever gave up sugar--life would not be worth living:hyst:
It's my one addiction. Sugar is not good for ANYONE--so, I realize I would be much better off w/o it. But, I haven't been able to pull off even one day w/o sugar, even during all my LC years--I would still have a sugar-free cookie or sugar-free candy--which are just empty calories, as well.:laugh:
I wish you good luck and am impressed by anyone contemplating such a challenge!:high5:
I think even JUDDD'ers should pay attention and not use UD's as binge or carb fest days. For many, it may cancel out any benefit whether weight loss or health bene's.
This is where CAD met it's demise; the reward meal became a binge meal for those who may be sensitive to sugary stuff and they said, 'I'm following the rules and can't understand why it's not working'.
The peop who create some of these plans do not take into consideration that their followers may not be able to stop w a moderate amt of certain 'food'.
Makes sense. I read CAD and Fast-5 and decided those sounded like too much discipline for me. When I think about it though, I have only had two desserts since January began. Each of them extra-special flavors culminating gourmet meals. Just like on lc, I can walk by DH's bowl of dark chocolate M&Ms without even feeling an interest. But get out my way if I see a spinach/gruyere souffle or barbequed shrimp on an UD!

The Effects of Stock Lending on Security Prices: an Experiment

NBER Working Paper No. w16335
Working with a sizeable, anonymous money manager, we randomly make available for lending two-thirds of the high-loan fee stocks in the manager's portfolio and withhold the other third to produce an exogenous shock to loan supply. We implement the lending experiment in two independent phases: the first, from September 5 to 18, 2008, with over $580 million of securities lent; and the second, from June 5 to September 30, 2009, with over $250 million of securities lent. The supply shocks are sizeable and significantly reduce lending fees, but returns, volatility, skewness, and bid-ask spreads remain unaffected. Results are consistent across both phases of the experiment and indicate no adverse effects from securities lending on stock prices.

Fast Convenient Mail for Travel: OfflineIMAP
I guess there is booming the Performance and method for travel and tourism
Thank you
I guess there would be such fast methods for Travel as well.
subscribed folders
I am curious if OfflineIMAP can be set to only synchronize IMAP folders which are marked as subscribed. While reading the section marked "Selecting Folders" it seemed natural to have an option regarding IMAP subscriptions, which could, in most cases, circumvent the need for writing a special callback function in python.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

So I had my gallbladder removal surgery on Feb. 14th and am now pretty much healed. It's been a little over 4 weeks and the doc said it'd probably take about 6-8 weeks to feel completely back to normal, so I think I'm pretty much on the right track now. It's still really hard for me to exercise :( This week, I tried to get on the elliptical and managed to pound out a whole 17 minutes... :-/ It made my side hurt after a while, so I gave up and haven't been back in it since because my stomach ended up hurting for a couple of days. My bf and I have been walking as an alternative, so that is helping me stay at least a little active. I just wish I could do my crunches!
I've somehow managed to keep losing weight though... I'm not really on track to get to my goal weight by my goal date, but I'm losing and that's enough for me at this point! As of today (since August '06) I've lost 30 pounds, so I think that's pretty good! :) That's all for now...
My gallbladder removal surgery is next Wednesday (about 5 days away)... I had my pre-op appointment yesterday and they walked me through everything. The only thing that sucks is that they said I should get up and move around as much as possible a few days after the surgery, but it's FREEZING here in Toledo, and I only have an elliptical, no treadmill! I'll have to stick with walking around my house all day until my boyfriend gets off work to take me somewhere like the mall since I won't be able to drive alone for a couple days. Oh well... I really hate that I can't exercise during that time!!! Especially my crunches :( I'm so used to doing 60 a night and now I won't be able to do even one for about 2 weeks! My diet will also be very limited (or so I'm told) so hopefully it will all just balance out during this little hiatus. Anyhoo, enough worrying for now... it's bedtime. G'night!
As if the gallstone thing wasn't enough... I now have bronchitis. I've had a bad cough for about 2 weeks (since Christmas eve) and today it was much worse, so I went to an urgent care facility, since my doc couldn't see me until tomorrow evening... I was scared it might be pneumonia. They did x-rays and listened to my breathing and said it's bronchitis. :( I feel all achy and gross, it sucks... My workouts have diminished quite a bit over the last two weeks, because of business and gallstone attacks and now this makes it even worse! They got me prescriptions for antibiotics and cough/congestion meds, so hopefully I'll finally start feeling better. The wheezing and coughing totally suck though. Oh well, can't get any worse for me, right?!
So I went to the hospital today for an ultrasound on my gallbladder and liver and found out that my stupid gallbladder is full of gallstones! :( I really don't wanna have surgery but my doc says that's the only way to treat them. They cause me a lot of pain, which happens every couple of days and lasts for about 30 minutes each attack! This same pain kept happening to me about 3 years ago and then went away completely and never happened again until last weekend. I'm really bummed... She says it happens a lot in people who are losing weight, so I guess the news is kinda bittersweet... ah well. I'll post again when I have the surgery, I guess! Wish me luck!
I'm such a sucker for Christmas... ugh. I always get all pissed off when people start to decorate in like October/November, but what did the BF and I do this year??? Put up the dang tree and decor the Saturday after Thanksgiving... I guess I'm just in an extra festive mood this year! Maybe that's a good thing...
I live w/ my parents for now (don't want to move in w/ the BF just yet... I'm waiting for that ring!!! - and it's pointless to get an apartment and waste money when I don't have rent/utilities now and will probably move in w/ him while we're engaged) and they're building a new house out in the country. We've lived in this house my whole life, so it's kinda sad this year that this will be our last Christmas here. My parents decided that this year will probably be that last year that my brother and I get to give Christmas lists to them (of stuff to get us) because we're getting "too old" for that kinda stuff, lol. Hey, I'll take one more year of lotsa presents anytime! :)
My list this year includes a few DVD's (as if I don't have enough), a portable DVD player (to play my millions of DVD's on during trips), a mini-fridge for my office at work, a step workout system (I'm tired of using the basement steps as my location), and a few other misc. things. I hope they don't turn it all down! :-P
I was going to ask my parents for a body fat monitor for Christmas... Just to see if I could track another "progress" besides weight and inches, but I decided to take it off of my wish list. I think I might buy one someday, but for now, I'm just going to stick to my original goals....
Anyhoo - Happy Holidays!!!

Group Spotlight vol. 4Hello everyone,
I've started a new series of features where I spotlight a group that contributes to the DeviantArt community somehow either by promoting unknown art, doing regular features, holding competitions, promoting critique/comment systems, showcasing resources to help members improve, etc. I'm hoping to possibly bring to light some great groups here on dA and possibly attract them new members or watchers, by showcasing deviations from their gallery after a brief introduction of the group in itself.
Enjoy and please!
Cute Quaint Quirky is "a fun, new group all about finding the cutest, quaintest and quirkiest bits of art out there on dA! We're looking for clear, creative photos with a vintage feel and a pop of life. We like photos with a warm, whimsical, soft, and dreamy feel that adds a new depth to photography for us."

Health Day - ONLINE EDITION
Fitness in Teen Years May Guard Against Heart Trouble Later
Swedish study found link between aerobic fitness at 18 and lowered heart attack risk in middle age
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 8, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People who are aerobically fit as teenagers are less likely to have a heart attack in middle age, a study of nearly 750,000 Swedish men suggests.
Every 15 percent increase in aerobic fitness in your teen years is associated with an 18 percent reduced risk of heart attack three decades later, researchers report in the Jan. 8 online edition of the European Heart Journal.
The results also suggest that teens and young adults who undergo regular cardiovascular training have a 35 percent reduced risk of heart attack later in life.
Aerobic fitness as a teen even appears to help people who become obese later in life, said research leader Peter Nordstrom, of Umea University in Sweden.
"It should be noted that aerobic fitness decreased the risk of heart attack significantly within also overweight and obese men," Nordstrom said. Obese men who had the highest aerobic fitness as teens enjoyed a 60 percent lower risk of heart attack compared with obese men who had the least fitness.
However, obese men with high aerobic fitness did have a higher risk of heart attack than lean men with little aerobic fitness. While the study found an association between aerobic fitness and chances of heart trouble, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
The findings emphasize the need for improved physical fitness among young people, said Dr. Stephen Daniels, chairman of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a spokesman for the American Heart Association.
"Even though the diseases we see are diseases of older adults, it's increasingly clear that where people are in childhood and adolescence is critically important," Daniels said. "We probably aren't doing enough to help our young population become fit and avoid obesity."
For the study, the researchers analyzed medical data from 743,498 men drafted into the Swedish army at age 18 between 1969 and 1984.
As a part of induction, all of the draftees took part in a physical examination that included a test of their aerobic fitness. They all had to ride on an exercise bicycle until they were too exhausted to continue.
National health registers provided information on heart attacks the men suffered later in life. Doctors used this medical data to track men for an average 34 years following their military physical exam.
The researchers found that men with the lowest aerobic fitness had a more than twofold increased risk of later heart attack compared with men who were most fit.
The study authors also looked into the joint effect of obesity and fitness, and found that across all weight groups the risk of a later heart attack increased significantly when comparing the least fit with the most fit.
However, the fittest obese men ran a 71 percent increased risk of heart attack when compared to men who were unfit but lean. They also had more than four times the heart attack risk faced by the fittest lean men.
"This study helps to address the 'fitness versus fatness' question by indicating that both are important, but they are independently important," Daniels said. "Good fitness can't completely counterbalance the health effects of excess weight. Obviously, the best is to be normal weight and fit, which is what we should be aiming at for the majority of our population."
Muscle strength, which also was tested during induction, did not appear to provide the same heart health benefits as aerobic fitness.
Genetics likely plays a large part in the aerobic fitness of teens and, by extension, their protection against heart attack, Nordstrom said. Another study that focused on twins within this same set of patients found that 78 percent of the variation in their aerobic fitness could be chalked up to genetics.
But it could also be that men who are in good shape in their teens have adopted the sort of lifestyle that will keep them healthy later in life, said Dr. Mark Urman, a member of the American College of Cardiology's Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Committee.
"If you're fit as a teenager, you're going to be more likely to stay in shape over the course of your life," Urman said. "The better shape you're in, the less apt you are to have cardiovascular problems."

Dear Moms,
"Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you have refreshed the hearts of the Lord's people." (Philemon 1:7)
P.S. - Join our "BigTent" online group to receive updates and invitations to all our events, and to continue communicating online with our community of moms.
Upcoming Events:
REFRESH Meetings (large group)
We meet the third Thursday of each month, from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m., on "the Deck".
This season, our guest speakers will share wisdom from personal experience and Scripture about how to build moral character into our children's hearts. Proverbs 22:6 promises, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." We find hope in this verse, that our children will be salt and light in the morally ambiguous culture and times we live in.
2014-15 Schedule:
Home Fellowships and Studies (small groups)
REFRESH Small Groups are THE way to go deeper in the Word and in our relationships with each other. Look for studies to start up this Fall. Childcare available at most studies.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Study (Meets weekly)
Mothers' Prayer Group (Meets biweekly)
You can register online or browse the many other small groups available to our church community.
Playdates, Outings, and Moms' Nights Out:
Playdates/outings and Moms' Nights Out are a great way to stay connected and deepen relationships with other moms and kids between studies.
