I'm not too worried about their "pathetic" prospect group. They've done pretty well drafting the past few years (ie Saad, Shaw). I'd be more worried about your Wings looking in from the outside than I am the 'Hawks.
Saad is a decent prospect and should end up in the top 6, but Shaw is a career 3rd liner - his offensive impact is simply too low for anything else.
This time they are losing 2 top 6 forwards (Bickell and Handzus) or alternatively buying out another top 6 forward in Hossa to keep one of the other 2. Last time Versteeg was the only top 6 forward they lost - all the rest were 3rd liners and support players at the time, some of whom improved after they left the Hawks. The loss of Rozival is minor, he is easily replaced and was a 6th/7th d-man, but as it stands right now they can't afford to resign Leddy either so that means they are losing 33% of their d-rotation which is a problem since they won't have the money to replace them so that means they are going to be looking to Brookbank and Montador to pick up the pace.
95% of the league would be happy with 2 finals in 4 years? Boston has 2 in 3, Pittsburgh and Detroit had 2 in 2, LA had finals and WCF in back to back years and none of those teams are going to be losing the type of talent Chicago will be. Hell, Detroit went to overtime in game 7 in WSF in a season when they lead the league in games lost to injury and the first season after losing probably the best player of his generation in Lidstrom, along with Brad Stuart and Jiri Hudler - they will be just fine.

Spider-Man: Battle for New York boasts fun 2D gameplay mixed with an impressive 3D presentation. The game's biggest fault is that it hasn't made any significant strides since last year, but it remains one of the most fun 2D action games on the Nintendo DS.
The lack of any extra modes could be forgiven if the main story wasn't so short. You can easily finish this title in a weekend play through.
While it's a bit on the short side, Spider-Man: Battle for New York is a fun portable action game that does a great job of retelling the tale of the rivalry between our favorite web-head and the Green Goblin.

Hello Everyone,
I thought i would share this with you all, it is a webcast on Symantec best practice approach to effective patch management for clients and servers.
Effective Patch Management for Clients and Servers
An effective and comprehensive patch management strategy is an essential part of a solid security defense. The vast majority of vulnerabilities exploited by malicious code are ones for which a fix is available from the software vendor. A recent Gartner report stated that "90% of successful attacks occurred against previously known vulnerabilities where a patch or secure configuration standard was already available."1 ('Managing the Next Generation of Client Computing,' Terrance Cosgrove, Gartner, February 8, 2011)
Attend our webcast to learn how to build and roll-out a complete patch management strategy to:
•Ensure that Windows, Mac, Red Hat® and SUSE computers are properly patched or updated
•Maintain visibility into newly released security updates and automate the detection and facilitate the remediation of vulnerabilities.
•Ensure that Microsoft operating systems and applications are kept up-to-date with non-security related updates and service packs.

Egg Recipes
Hard-Boiled Eggs with Chiles
"These are inspired by an 'egg shooter' at NYC's Blue Ribbon Downing Street Bar." –Allie Lewis Clapp, food editor
Matzo Ball Soup
There's an entire chicken in this soup, and then some. Not a mistake. You'll pull out the breast early on and use the white meat to garnish the finished bowls, but everything else stays and simmers for hours, enriching the stock with concentrated flavor and lip-smacking body.
Corned Beef Hash
This recipe is a two-step process, but nothing about it is difficult. Start by cooking the beef the day before (if you also want to have it for dinner that night, just double the recipe). It's chilled overnight, becoming even more flavorful. The next day, shred the cooked corned beef and throw the hash together, then bask in your accomplishment.
Mushroom Paella with Kale and Eggs
The best part of any paella is the crisp layer of rice that forms on the bottom of the pan. Make sure to scrape some out for each portion.
Hangtown Fry
Tailor this blue plate special to your taste—you could add spice to the potatoes, sub sausages for bacon, scramble the eggs, omit the onions, or add fresh herbs. While it's great for brunch (chase it with a nap), we'd also love to eat this for breakfast or dinner.
Red Quinoa with Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes, and Poached Eggs
In addition to being deliciously nutty, quinoa is a complete protein—but you knew that already, right? If you can't find red, the white variety will work just as well in this tangy, wilted salad.
Stir-Fried Grains with Shrimp and Eggs
Make extra grains on Sunday and use them for this lightning-quick weeknight dinner.
Baked French Toast with Pecan Crumble
Drying out the challah lets the Baked French Toast absorb the custard without going to mush and top it off with a pecan crumble for an extra crunch.

Emerging from the wreckage of the emo band Noise Ratchet, San Diego quintet Delta Spirit headed rootsward, picking up few specifics of the Mississippi Delta per se, but conjuring a ragged fervor that's equal parts folkie-protest, punk, inebriated English music hall, melodic Brit-pop and vintage SoCal rock.
As such, Delta Spirit's August debut, Ode to Sunshine, initially evokes mid-period Kinks, including Ray Davies-like musings on acoustic-driven tunes such as "Tomorrow Goes Away" and "Trashcan," with its twisted piano tinkling. Elsewhere on the album, there are echoes of the Waterboys, while the gorgeous "Strange Vine" fuses soulful Vasquez vocals with jangly guitar out of Bakersfield via Dick Dale and Roger McGuinn.
These guys are reputedly killers live, too, and moreover seem to have found a vital avant-roots pulse that could take them far. Oklahoma dream-folk specialist Other Lives opens.

CHICAGO (AP) -- President-elect Barack Obama is pledging to eliminate unnecessary government spending and programs.
He's vowing to get rid of programs that have outlived their usefulness, or that exist solely because of the power of politicians.
As he named Peter Orszag as his White House budget chief, Obama told reporters that budget reform is a necessity, not just an option. He said it's not about big government or small government, it's about smarter government.
Renewing his campaign pledge, he said his staff is going through the federal budget, page by page and line by line, to make sure that those programs that are kept are done sensibly.
Obama's comments come even as he calls for an economic rescue plan that could add up to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Diss 'n' Make Up
The ink has barely dried on their NY marriage license, but according to The Mirror, the honeymoon is already over for Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Or is it? If you ask People, the celeb-heavy Barack Obama fundraiser at L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl on April 16 was a newlywed lovefest.
Other sites, not so much. To kick off the festivities, seems Jay took to rapping over some tunes. When the DJ slipped in Beyonce's "Crazy in Love," her hubby said before a packed house, "F--k that. Sorry, Bey, but f--k that ... let's play something else."
And, ooooh, mama was pissed. Witnesses said, "After he came offstage, she confronted him, demanding to know what the hell his comments had been about. She was gesturing wildly and not looking happy. Like any good husband, Jay-Z groveled and tried to get out of it with compliments."
The tactic worked, as the two were simpatico anew and back People pleasin' at an after-bash at the Hollywood Roosevelt, where they clung to each other for the rest of the night.
Ain't love grand?

According to the British daily, Peter Butler, a plastic surgeon at the Royal Free hospital in north London, has been given the go-ahead by a hospital ethics committee to find a patient who meets selection criteria.
The approval follows the world's first partial face transplant in France last month of Isabelle Dinoire, 38, who had been mauled by her dog.
The Guardian reported that Butler - who heads a 30-strong medical team - had been researching the process for 10 years, and that any selected patient was likely to have severe facial burns or facial trauma, and to have already had skin grafts.
"Quite a lot of issues around patient selection are not only physical but psychological," Butler said.
"The main concern is that we choose the right patients. We'll be looking at how well they coped with their original disfigurement and how they coped with their surgery afterwards"Peter Butler, Plastic surgeon at London's Royal Free hospital
"The main concern is that we choose the right patients. We'll be looking at how well they coped with their original disfigurement and how they coped with their surgery afterwards. You need a psychological robustness to be able to deal with this."
However, resistance to such a controversial operation is expected to come from the Royal College of Surgeons, who stated in 2003 that much more work was needed to be carried out, and was "unwise" to proceed.
Daniel Sokol, a medical ethicist at Imperial College, London, said: "With a full face transplant, the issue is how [people] cope with having a whole new face. It's like no other transplant because it deals with such an expressive part of who we are."
Butler's team members say they are optimistic that they will find a suitable patient and will then seek final approval - this time to perform the operation - from the hospital ethics committee.
Each operation will cost around £20,000 and private and charitable donations to fund the first five patents were being sought.

By Richard D. Kahlenberg, editor
Published by The Century Foundation Press, December 15, 2003
In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding the constitutionality of public funding for private religious schools, the debate over private school vouchers has intensified. At the same time, the federal No Child Left Behind Act has put new emphasis on choice within the public school system. The debate no longer centers around whether we should have more choice in education, but whether choice should occur within public schools or extend to private schools. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach?
This volume is a compilation of articles, papers, and discussions on public school choice and private school vouchers. Contributors include Christopher Edley of Harvard Law School; former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske; Richard Just of the American Prospect; Helen F. Ladd of Duke University; Gordon MacInnes of the New Jersey Department of Education; Eliot Mincberg of People for the American Way; Sean Reardon of Pennsylvania State University; Brent Staples of the New York Times; Adam Urbanski of the American Federation of Teachers; Amy Stuart Wells of Columbia; John Yun of Harvard; and, from The Century Foundation, Thad Hall, Richard D. Kahlenberg, Richard C. Leone, Ruy Teixeira, and Bernard Wasow.

Player profile: Victor Wanyama, midfielder, Celticby Will Unwin
Name: Victor Wanyama
Position: Centre midfield
Born: 1992
Club: Celtic
Country: Kenya
Celtic turned a lot of heads during their Champions League campaign last season, with Victor Wanyama being one of their standout performers.
The Kenyan was a key component in containing the likes of Barcelona, who Celtic beat at home, and suffered last-minute heartbreak at the Nou Camp.
Testament to Celtic's scouting network, the midfielder arrived in Glasgow for less than £1million from Belgian outfit Beerschot back in 2011.
Wanyama, whose brother McDonald Mariga plays for Parma, patrols the centre of the park, and reads the game extremely well, allowing him to break up play when he senses danger coming his way.
He rarely forays forward - as shown in the graphic below - in an attempt to conserve energy for his defensive duties, but he did manage to bag nine goals last season, including in the win over Barcelona at Celtic Park.
This positional discipline shows that he is has a great understand of his role and what his team needs from him, making Wanyama incredibly dependable for manager Neil Lennon, but he has the ability to be more adventurous when the opportunity arises, occasionally firing in a goal from long-range.
Possessing strength, means he can hold off almost every opponent he faces, but his ability to mistime a challenge has seen Wanyama suffer from a disastrous disciplinary record, receiving 15 cautions last season, including a suspension for Celtic's final Champions League group clash.
Many of his 13 career goals have come from set-pieces, with the 6ft2" Kenyan superb at arriving late when the ball is delivered, and also being able to out jump defenders.
His sterling work for Celtic has seen many a team circle the Kenyan, hoping to acquire his signature, with the midfielder being valued at over £10million.
Southampton and Liverpool are both very interested in adding them to their midfield, but the lure of Champions League football with the Scottish champions could see him stay at Celtic Park, but if Manchester United do follow through with their interest, then it might be a struggle to keep hold of the Kenyan.

Fall 2007
E 321 • Shakespeare: Selected Plays (Honors)
par 101
Course Description
Restricted to students admitted to the English Honors Program.
In this course we will study selected works of William Shakespeare, and one or two other authors (Kyd and Marlowe) who help illuminate the great playwright's career.
We will have two main purposes. The first is to familiarize the class with the early works of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries. We will study at least five plays from Shakespeare, rather intensively, and at least one from Kyd and Marlowe. In each case we will consider the authors' distinguishing characteristics: their use of poetic language and mythology, their creation and confusion of genres, their submission or challenge to the dominant religious and political ideologies of Elizabethan England.
Which leads us to the second purpose. The course might also be called "Shakespeare in the 1590s," because we will attempt to understand the history of this period as the writers engage it. Thus, we will also read some biographical, religious, and political material that can help us decide how Marlowe and Shakespeare conversed with the age, and how their competition helped shape the consciousness of late Elizabethan England.
The course will have a slightly unusual structure. The first ten weeks or so will consist of discussion, reading, essay writing and test taking-traditional enough. The final five weeks of the class will be in the form of two pedagogical games: Shakespeare v. Marlowe, 1592, and Lord Chamberlain v. Lord Admiral, 1599, in which the students play roles advocating for Marlowe or for Shakespeare, or interrogating those advocates. During the game, students will still be writing and performing textual explication, but will also be performing as characters from the time period. The course will culminate with students performing in scenes from the plays.
Grading Policy
The course will conclude with a long essay (about 10 pages) involving one of your roles and the reading of literature. This essay will count for 40% of the grade. A shorter essay will count for 25%. Class participation and performance in the game will complete the tally (35%).
Shakespeare: Richard III; Titus Andronicus; Merchant of Venice; Rape of Lucrece; Hamlet; Much Ado about Nothing
Marlowe: Jew of Malta; Dr. Faustus; Hero and Leander
Kyd: The Spanish Tragedy
James Shapiro: A Year in the Life (1599)
Biographies of Shakespeare and Marlowe, studies of Elizabethan political and religious history, and selected criticism about early modern drama.

I see that I wrote my last blog post on February 9. An eternity ago. Nine days later at 6:12 or so in the evening, I became a widow. I don't think anyone expected him to die so soon, especially since just the day before, he had a lovely visit with his mom and older sister. But when my daughter and I arrived on that Tuesday, it was clear that he wouldn't live more than a few hours. We filled his small hospital room with people - my two daughters, my son-in-law, my parents, two of our pastors, and other close friends. We sang Christian songs and hymns, listened to songs from Phil's mp3 player (we discovered music we never knew he liked!) as well as from YouTube; we read Scripture; we prayed; we laughed and cried. It was such a holy experience, unlike anything I'd ever been a part of.
On March 1, we held Phil's memorial service, which Sarah and I planned. The service was entirely centered on the Lord that Phil loved and served with all his heart. Three family members shared their own tributes, and when we opened the floor for others to share their memories, what was said was moving. We included a lot of music, or at least more than what is usually done, including singing How Great Thou Art and It Is Well With My Soul. We had three specials: Blessed Be the Name, I Will Rise, and Who Am I? You can find recordings of all these on YouTube. After the service, we invited all the family members back to the house for a light repast.
Because it was winter - and what a winter it was with so much snow and cold - the funeral home held Phil's body until May 2, when we finally had the burial, which was just for family. I chose to bury Phil in a cemetery close to our home; we were able to buy a plot in a new section. It is near a tree which will provide lovely shade once it is grown. I still have to design a monument. That was a new term to me, and I think they use it because they can charge more than if it were just an old-fashioned headstone.
It will take time for me to settle into my new life, to find out what God wants me to do. Sarah and I have been working on organizing the house, starting with the file cabinet, which was Phil's domain. We quickly discovered why it was completely stuffed: he kept papers that he should have shredded long ago. We laughed many times when we realized just how old and worthless some of them were. We even found a receipt from an investment Phil made before he and I were married 30 years ago! Too bad the investment failed, or I might have kept the receipt.
One of our church families has made me an honorary member of the family, which has been wonderful. I was already friends with mom and dad (dad is one of our pastors), as well as one of the daughters and her husband (he is our music administrator), and acquaintances with two of the other daughters. I was offered the opportunity to help lead music on Wednesday evenings, which I accepted. Often it's just Nathan (music administrator) and me up in front, but sometimes one of our other men joins us. It has been challenging for me because I usually sing melody, but now I'm doing harmony, which I sometimes must come up with myself. And about ten days ago I was asked to make some cards for sending to widows, which I accepted. (Will I receive one of my own cards at some point?)
I still have things to do around the house, which will keep me busy for quite a while. So many new things for me to learn to care for, decisions which must be made, stuff to go through. And I want to get back to blogging. I have a lot of pictures to edit and share! So hopefully that will start to happen soon, although you do realize that "soon" is a relative term, right?
See you soon!

Maker Monday: Meet Maggie Austin, Craftsy Cake Decorating/Design Instructor
Maggie Austin's star is still rising, but she already has a rich and fascinating life story. In this free video, we sat down with Maggie and learned what she did before she was a successful cake designer. We think you'll be quite interested. Check it out, and also learn what inspires her, what she loves about teaching, and what lies ahead for her. Maggie teaches Fondant Frills, an online Craftsy class for cake designers and decorators looking to add even more elegance and interest to their cakes!
I trained all my life as a ballet dancer. So, when you train in something that specific, you just sort of have tunnel-vision. That's all I did from the age of four after following my sister into the studio. Just intensive training. Summers were spent in intensive programs. It was a no sun, no fun kind of thing. I turned professional when I was 17 or 18, and I had a short but fantastic career that ended with an injury in late 2005. So at that point, I needed to regroup and look at my options for moving on. So I didn't have any college education to sort of back me up. I turned professional right out of high school. So I was just sort of thinking about what interests I had that I could develop on. I was lucky enough to attend French Pastry School in Chicago, which is where I was living at the time. It's a fantastic program. So I had just a brief, two-week session on wedding cakes, and I felt like I found a niche.
I think there are a lot of similarities between being a dancer and having any other artistic expressions. It doesn't have to necessarily be cake decorator or designer.
I think my passion for cake design, I like to pull things from things that are completely unrelated to cake.
I think cake in particular is something, unlike a piece of artwork that might hang on your wall, there's always this notion like, "this looks like a piece of art, but then I'm actually going to be eating it." And I think there's also something to the fact that a lot of our memories from childhood are tied to cake. We remember the smell of cake baking in the oven. You remember the birthday parties that your mom or dad decorated for you. Those are really tied to your emotions. So I think people do become emotional about cake in that way.
I love to teach. I did a little teaching when I was a ballet dancer, as well. So that's really fulfilling to me. So I think that I would be teaching more in the future, trying to reach students in various parts of the world and see what new styles are coming up. I feel like I've only scratched the surface design-wise. So I'm looking forward to new things in the future, design-wise.
I think I would really just encourage students to know that this is a lesson, this is a work in progress. Before you can express yourself artistically, you really need a solid foundation. So maybe you're not going to have the exact same cake that I created, but I think that you will get a really good feel for the frilling technique. You will learn how to execute the sugar flowers. I will say that we hold workshops at our studio in Old Town, Alexandria. And I've had an old lady neighbor from down the street, and I've had a competitive cake decorator sitting side-by-side, executing our sugar flower. So just as what's in our lesson about making the rose and frilling and all sorts of stuff, we go through the same steps in our studio. And really our results, they all look slightly different, but they're all beautiful. And they're all unique to each person. And I would encourage people just to give yourself that freedom to make it your own. Don't place the flowers exactly where I place them. Feel free to put your own style to it.

DD Struggles
I need help! I am struggling very badly with DD's at the moment and finding my return to JUDDD much harder than I had anticipated, I am struggling both on the hungry side and mentally and feel I am only moments away from pressing my "stuff it" button and going off track entirely on a DD, although I haven't done it.......yet!
I was delighted with my week 1 losses and it confirms everything I need to know about IF, it's the best way for me to lose weight and it fits pretty well with my lifestyle, so I am ignoring the voice in my head thats saying "hey this diet isn't for you" because I think it's to do with stress outside of dieting (namely the current living situation in Cairo), actually this is exactly how I felt when I was under super stress before I moved here and sorting out everything involved in moving country and sitting exams at the same time.
Has anyone else experienced difficulties with DD's when in other stressful situations and how did/do you cope with it as it seems to nearly tip me off plan. :sad:
I have to say I haven't had this problem, but a lot of people do.
Allow yourself to eat some higher DDs. Have a look at the different percentages of weight loss , you don't have to choose 20%. Yes, you will lose a little more slowly but sticking with it is far more important than quick fixes.
Be kind to yourself and be proud of your ability to eat less on alternate days. Many of our successful JUDDERS in the past ate 600, 700 or even more on their DDs, and lost.
Remember, this isn't a race. Time is on your side. The important thing is to find a level that suits YOU. We are not all made the same and there are no medals for the lowest DD.
:console: Sorry to hear you're struggling Lanarkwitch. I think you've pinpointed the cause though. You might find that the stress in your environment makes it difficult to JUDDD.
O'Donnell covers it at length in his ebook. Here are some excerpts:
Try and remember to keep the I in IF still. Remember the hormesis curve from early on? It showed that small stressors provide a positive feedback response from the body, but excessive/chronic will take it in the opposite direction.
However, it's clear that any other kind of dieting would be even more difficult and could be a risk to your health because intermittent small stress is good hence JUDDD but chronic big stress is dangerous.
It's very important to nourish your body properly when it's in a chronic stressful situation. You need lots of real, healthy food and maybe a good vitamin and mineral supplement to help you ride through this. Chamomile tea could be a godsend too.
I agree with Cindy and can only suggest that you try to relax a bit on the weight loss for now. Frustrating I know but I didn't say give up on it! I'm sure you could raise your DD allowance till things settle down.
Thank you both for the replies, I feel a bit better about it, I felt like this before when things were going mad and I didn't properly listen to my body and suspect this is how I managed to plough all the lbs on in a very short space of time, on an UD I have been trying as best I can to stick with the healthy eating principles of Slimming World, for anyone that doesn't know the plan it's basically " decide what you will have with your vegetables, either carbs or protein", I eat a largely veggie diet 80% of the time and I have zoomed in on my B vitamins as I was suffering from what appears to by a lot of the symptoms of lacking them, got out in the sun a little to get my vitamin D sorted (I can always tell as I get drastic hair fall when it's not right) and although I avoid fruit largely I have been having a little citrus but lately I am stressing over UD's as well, perhaps I need to concentrate more on relaxation rather than focusing on what I am not getting right diet wise, it most certainly leads to "diet fail" mentality for me
I agree with the impact of stress and what is happening in your life in the round - and there are some posts that touch on that in: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ju...tion-mode.html
I agree with Kissa that you may want to consider increasing your DD to 30 or 35 percent for a little while. I know everyone says hunger isn't an emergency and you can eat tomorrow, but you know your body better than anyone. Listen to what it's telling you.
I wish you luck and I hope the stressors in your life start to dwindle a bit soon.
I have nothing to add to the great advice from those above... but hugs. Your living conditions sound stressful indeed. Just know others are thinking of you and wishing you well. :console: :hugs: :heart:
In the beginning if I didn't stay busy and keep my mind occupied I focused too much on what I was/was not eating. It helped so much to stay occupied with anything whether it was work, housecleaning, exercise, chores- whatever. If it is true hunger and nourishment that you need raise your DDs a bit to see if that helps.
I'm the same way now Carly. Yesterday being a DD, I hit my limit after dinner, but I still found myself looking through cabinets and the fridge. I actually stopped, shut the door and asked myself, "Are you really hungry, or are you bored? Or is it just habit to snack?" I realized I wasn't hungry, I was just searching to graze and busied myself with some housework and interwebz.
I noticed that you say you eat a vegetable diet, primarily. That could definitely be a problem, in that it would be difficult to get to your UD calories, AND you wouldn't have much on your stomach the following day to help with the very low calorie DD. Maybe you could incorporate more beans, tofu or other high protein vegetables.:dunno: Good luck, and yes, lots of us have had our struggles!:console:
I too have good DD days and bad DD days. I notice an increase in agitation and food thoughts on DDs just before a drop in the scale--my body is urging me to replace lost nutrients. I find this pattern then extends to UDs where I tend to overeat following a "bad" DD.
Noticing this pattern has helped me, as I now know I have to respond to the urge to eat on a DD, but not destructively--e.g., adding extra protein and a few more calories--it also helps because I can then predict that the following UD will be more difficult to rein in. Even though I too am more veggie than not, when I have a bad DD, I push the protein and a wee bit of fat (a tsp of MCT oil in my tea) in order to settle my system down. On the following UD, I try and start the day with some fat with no carbs or protein (MCT oil in my tea), which gives me more control over my UD. Of course distraction and busyness helps as well ;)
I agree with the others that it is perfectly fine to have a higher percentage of calories in the weight loss range on your DDs. A few of us have even seemed to lose faster this way, which makes the book Flossyliz quoted make a lot of sense to me (I have been that person he's talking about!).
I became more aware on JUDDD of true physical hunger, and also the times when I wanted to eat for other reasons, usually stress. There just aren't enough calories on DDs for stress eating, so it was actually a gift that I had to find other ways to handle stress. (This may be more of a challenge for the kinds of stress you are experiencing, though!)
Have you thought of pterostilbene? It's a supplement that may help ... there's a thread about it if you haven't seen it.
I am certainly no expert, Lanark, and pretty new to JUDDD, but I have struggled with DDs, and an uncooperative scale, too. I have so far managed to keep the calories below 400 on DDs by reminding myself that hunger is a natural, healthy state and the hunger I am feeling is a sign that good things are happening in my body, like sore muscles after a good workout. (And other forms of positive self talk like that). And if the talking isn't working, I have my go tos -- unsweetened almond milk latte (15 cals); 1 cup watermelon cubes, 50 cals; diet Jello, 5 cals; cup of shredded cabbage with vinegar, 15 cals; diet yogurt 40 cals, etc. I keep these low cal foods in the house. (I also drink diet pop. Now, I do not think artificial sweeteners are healthy, and ordinarily would prefer actual sugar over that stuff, but I am using them now for weight loss.)
We have all been there, heck, many of us still are, so big hugs to you. I have also felt like throwing in the towel and kind souls in this forum offered great advice -- I think it was Flutter who said everyone has felt their metabolism was messed up and was just too hopeless for this diet, but when you stick with it, things eventually get humming along as they should be. I think if you can give it just a few more weeks, your body will get it sorted and things will be rolling along!
Emma, you've gotten lots of good feedback. Raising your DD calories is a great idea. I started losing again when I took a *maintenance break* a few months ago, and it provided a much needed mental break. I've actually been toying with doing that again recently.
Your stresses must be just huge right now, and that's never the best atmosphere for controlling eating.
One of the tricks I use on myself is this. I rarely am hungry early in the day. I usually just have coffee/hwc for breakfast, and then maybe eat a late lunch. By then, I feel like I've already made an investment of restricting myself of xx hours. Like if it's 1:00pm and I'm getting the urge to eat more than I should, I tell myself I've already invested 7 hours in this DD, and I don't want to throw that away. More likely is when I get cravings in the late afternoon or evening. Then it's even easier to say "Carol, you've invested 14 hours into this day and if you give in now, you'll have *suffered* those 14 hours for nothing. You can make it through another few hours, go to sleep, and in the morning be rewarded with food." It works for me more times than not.
Whatever you do, don't just throw it all in. Try to find adjustments that make it livable. And coming here for support and help is always a big boost. We're here, and ready to prop you up!:hugs:
Great responses here, and I love Carol's "internal challenge" about reminding herself how many hours she's invested already. My toughest time tends to be at night, but reminding myself how much I've already put into this DD could be a great help.
Emma, focusing on relaxation sounds very smart, and necessary. Hang in there.
All great advice!!! Eat more on your DD and work down if you want. Or that 700/1700 is looking tempting to me :wink: .
Some DDs are just easier than others. I sail through some, then on others I want to gnaw on my desk or nibble the potted ivy!
I forgot who posted this idea, but I put it in the notes on my iPhone and refer to that. Go to the JUDDD calculator and right down all your loss calories (20%, 25%, 30%, and 35%). UD cals stay the same. You'll see that even if you have a higher DD, you're still JUDDD'ing. I try to stick to 500 calories on a DD, but don't fret if I go a little above because it's still JUDDD.
Hang in there!! :up:
Lovely responses from the JDs.
If you're stressed, vitamin C is an essential goto. Take as many grams per day as necessary, to "bowel tolerance".
Hi Emma! I agree with everyone else. If you're not feeling great it's time to let up a little on yourself until your head is back in the game. It's better to up your DD's for a while than go off the deep end and set yourself back completely. Have you tried mediation, massage and/or deep breathing to help control your stress? If stress is the root cause of your troubles it's best to focus on regulating that and the rest will follow.
Try to think, "it's a marathon, not a sprint". I need to take that same advice. :D
Wow great threads on the board right now!!!
So many super-duper responses I wish I could comment on them all. Just know I heart each and every one of you!!!
There are some things that help me on difficult DDs.
1. Deep breathing. (Ouis just taught me this technique is actually called Four-Square Breathing). And it really works on everything from anxiety to cravings! It helps oxygenate your body, get rid of excess CO2, and also helps release endorphins that calm you and help you center and focus. I like to imagine shrugging off a huge weight from my head down through my shoulders, trunk, legs, and feet as I exhale and hold the exhale. It feels so amazingly free-ing. Like you're lighter afterwards.
2. The other thing that helps is knowing that REPAIR is happenin all over the hizzouse with every hunger pang I feel. :) And wooot, we love's some repair round here!
3. The last thing to know is that hunger, left unfed dies a whimpering fate if left unfed. It peaks in 10-20 minute intervals. And each time you don't feed it, you make bigger and stronger new neural pathways (ways of processing stimuli).
4. The last thing to know is hunger is a vicious cycle if you stoke the fire with the wrong fuel for your body. And breaking the cycle (i.e The early days of JUDDD or coming back from an off-plan vaca, or break, etc...)
5. Try eating lower carb on your UDs in the early days. I'm not talking "strict". I'm talking about eating fewer high glycemic carbs but really pound down the veggie carbs. And up the fat a bit too. Eat a half an avocado with your meal. :)
6. And finally, know you can eat anything you want tomorrow. It's only a few hours away.
And as Carol said, I too defer eating until late in the day. The trade off for have a long fasting repair window is knowing that when dinner hits, I can eat a reasonably normal sized meal and that from dinner time onward (as long as I don't munch after dinner), I'm in my UD eating window!
I wish you luck with your DD's. I am the opposite so cannot help. I have no problem with DD's it is the UD"s that get away from me way too often. BUT even then JUDDD works so hang in there and the losses will come.
Thank you all for a very insightful bucket load of advice. The realisation that the stress is a factor rather than "I just can't do this" seems to be half the battle, I was starting to associate tough DD's with the all too familiar feeling of "day 1" dieting ( you know the diets that never get past day 1!" I have read again over the weekend a few of my IF books and watched for the 10th time the MM documentary, I consider myself to be fairly and squarely reminded of all the benefits of IF, not just the weight loss side it's good to refocus on that. I have decided to go up to 600 cals on my DD for the rest of this week, as I am going on vacation for a few weeks on Thursday but for at least week 1 of that I will be in my own home and fully in control of the menu so no need to come off rotation. For DD's I will now be using 3x VLCD packs, it takes the stress out of planning food and also it's nutritionally complete for DD's which I think is hugely important for me right now. I will get there just one DD at a time and cross fingers the gentler approach to things will ease me back into a better head space with it all.
:agree: I think sometimes we try to hard to get things going to fast . We want the magic pill for an immediate fix to the problem, forgetting that it is not realistic to think it will happen so fast. We didn't put it on fast and it will take longer to lose. I am a work in progress and the Lord isn't done with me so why should I be in a hurry. I need to develop better habits. And this is the way;):aprayer::aprayer:
Good plan Emma and I'm sure the vacation will help things to settle down.
Great ideas. DDs are difficult for me too. That quote about the stress response toIF & LC is interesting. Will want to think about that.
Had a good DD on Sunday, bit of a change in rotations this week as I am travelling on Thursday through the night, another DD tomorrow, fingers crossed I feel as well as I did on Sunday, things seem to be slowly falling into place, I am not weighing until Thursday morning so hoping for the best!

National Assembly goes greenComment on this story
Cape Town - The National Assembly public gallery was a sea of green, yellow and black - the colours of the ANC - when President Jacob Zuma responded to this week's state-of-the-nation debate on Thursday.
African National Congress Women's League members packed one of the gallery bays - an area usually reserved for VIP guests like former presidents and foreign dignitaries.
MPs were more formally dressed than usual, although not in the expensive finery on display when Zuma delivered his state-of-the-nation address last week.
The house erupted in applause when Zuma took to the podium, but there was none of the ululating which has accompanied his previous appearances.
Zuma is responding to a host of concerns raised by MPs during a fiery two-day debate on his speech. - Sapa

stress on the caregiver, who feels captive to a deteriorating, "no-win" situation. He reacts with frustration and anger, finally physically hitting her in response to a "petty" demand for attention—an act that never occurred before in their many years of marriage. The figure attempts to identify the set of variables and their probable causal order; it also stresses the interactive character of the process over time. It should help guide the selection and measurement of the pertinent variables in evaluating this account of elder mistreatment risk.
The problem of identifying rare events like elder mistreatment is made more difficult because of its strong social stigmatization. It is quite analogous to the problem faced in studying AIDS infection in the population. AIDS is such a rare event (0.61 percent prevalence rate in the United States) that it is prohibitively expensive to get a sample size large enough to recruit sufficient cases for statistical analysis, even if one could assume that people would willingly disclose their infection status. Instead, analysis has focused on the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) inclusively defined, which have an estimated prevalence of 18 percent in the U.S. adult population age 18 to 59 (see Laumann and Youm, 2001:339), a much more workable situation from a statistical point of view. This could be done because the mechanisms implicated in STD transmission approximate fairly closely those implicated in AIDS transmission in the United States. A similar strategy could be undertaken for elder mistreatment, in which we could identify more broadly inclusive adverse events, for example, frequent and intense verbal arguments between the elder person and the caregiver, which are likely to include the events that meet a stricter definition of elder mistreatment.
The objective of this discussion has been to provide a comprehensive, flexible theoretical framework within which to organize research efforts employing qualitative as well as quantitative methodologies. Appropriately deployed in systematic empirical research, these methodologies can illuminate the fundamental processes generating the differential risks of elder mistreatment for both the elder population at large and for those who perform caregiving roles. Armed with a better understanding of the underlying processes, we will be in a much better position to devise more effective intervention strategies to reduce these risks.
In sum, we are unlikely to obtain much information relevant to prevention and post-mistreatment intervention in cases of elder mistreatment until the field moves toward a program of research that is grounded in an understanding of the everyday lives of older people in relation to their intimate partners and their other caregivers; the experience (phenomenology) of

Chicago Tribune Media Group's The Doings La Grange: Nazareth Academy in LaGrange Park plans to send students home early Monday and has canceled classes for Tuesday and Wednesday due to a flu outbreak, school officials announced.
Twenty-five percent of Nazareth's 730 students were absent due to illness today, reported Alena Murguia, public relations coordinator, one of 10 staff members also recovering from the flu.
"When you reach a critical mass, it's better to just shut everything down and disinfect," Murguia said. "We'll have a heavy-duty cleaning plan in effect for all the students' and teachers' desks, classrooms and common areas."
Some students appeared sick in class Monday, but apparently didn't want to miss school because semester exams are scheduled for next week, Murguia said.
"Hopefully students who are sick have a couple of days to recoup and not worry that they are missing anything," she said. "Exams are still scheduled for next week, Dec. 17, 18 and 19, but teachers may...Read more
After retired teacher Bill Bricker was charged in the fall with sex crimes against children, his former employer, Winnetka District 36, released hundreds of pages of his personnel records, some indicating school officials were alerted to claims against him as early as 1968.
But almost lost within the stack of memos and letters to lawyers is a single handwritten page that includes a terse phrase that's as inscrutable as it is potentially damning:
"Could have 100 children abused."
The unsigned page of notes is dated Feb. 23, 1995, a decade after Bricker retired from his job at District 36's Hubbard Woods School. The notes, written during the tenure of then-Superintendent Rebecca van der Bogert, include references to the Cook County state's attorney and a school district lawyer, as well as phrases that appear to say: "Letting sleeping dogs lie may be more helpful," "Statute of limitations anyway" and "no proof."

A woman who was killed Thursday evening after she was struck by an SUV in north suburban Skokie has been identified, police said.
The accident happened at 5:53 p.m. in the 5500 block of Touhy Avenue, Skokie police said.
Mariana Ioan, 70, of Chicago, who was a pedestrian, died of her injuries. An autopsy conducted Friday determined she died of multiple injuries.
Police do not think drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash, according to Skokie police. They also said they have no reason to suspect that speed played a role in the accident.
When police arrived at the scene, they discovered that the woman had been struck by the SUV, and she was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, police said.

The Chicago Tribune Media Group's The Doings Clarendon Hills: A 15-year-old student from Clarendon Hills was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance as a result of a drug search at Hinsdale Central High School on Tuesday.
Deputy Chief Kevin Simpson, of the Hinsdale Police Department, said the boy was released to his parent's custody and his case will be referred to juvenile court. Simpson would not say what kind of drugs the student is charged with having. That was the only drug arrest made at Hinsdale Central, 5500 S. Grant St., Simpson said.
District 86 asked the Hinsdale and Darien police departments to conduct simultaneous searches at Hinsdale South and Central high schools using canine units.
The Hinsdale Police Department does not have a police dog, so the agency used canine officers and trained dogs from Oak Brook, Lisle, Willowbrook and Woodridge police departments. The departments are all members of the regional Felony Investigative Assistance Team,...Read more
A woman who police say falsely reported that she was stabbed while jogging in a forest preserve in November has been charged with disorderly conduct, authorities said Monday.
The charge filed Friday against Veronica Klicka, 33, of Des Plaines, for allegedly filing the false report is a Class 4 felony, said Sophia Ansari, spokeswoman for the Cook County sheriff's office, which is handling the case.
Klicka had been hospitalized with a stab wound to her abdomen. But days after she reported having been attacked while jogging in Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Palatine on Nov. 29, authorities said they had reason to believe her story was fabricated.
Authorities said they now believe the stab wound was self-inflicted.
Ansari said the woman apparently made up the jogger attack because she was under court supervision for a separate matter and was not allowed to have weapons.
The woman had told police that a man ran up to her, stabbed her and then fled while she was jogging in the forest preserve...Read more
Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, rose before dawn on Oct. 4 to pray with his father and 16-year-old brother at their neighborhood mosque in Bolingbrook.
When they returned home just before 6 a.m., the father went back to bed and the Khan teens secretly launched a plan they had been hatching for months: to abandon their family and country and travel to Syria to join the Islamic State.
While his parents slept, Khan gathered three newly issued U.S. passports and $2,600 worth of airline tickets to Turkey that he had gotten for himself, his brother and their 17-year-old sister. The three teens slipped out of the house, called a taxi and rode to O'Hare International Airport.
Khan was due at work at 6:30 a.m. at a local home-supply store, so he knew his parents wouldn't miss him when they woke up. The two younger siblings bunched up comforters under their sheets to make it look like they were asleep in their beds.
Their plan was to fly to Istanbul, then drive into Syria to live in the Islamic...Read more

Growth of U.S. remodeling activity slowed moderately in the third quarter of 2005, according to the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Remodeling Market Index (RMI). The third quarter results receded from the seasonally adjusted second quarter of 2005, but remained in the positive growth range.
"A softening of the overall rental market has led to an acute decline in rental remodeling expenditures," said Remodelors(TM) Council Chairman Don Novak, CGR, CAPS, CGB. "Remodeling activity remains strong for owner-occupied units, driving the continued positive outlook." Owner-occupied housing represents 69 percent of total housing in the U.S.
The RMI is derived from a quarterly national survey of more than 500 remodelers and is seasonally adjusted. The current market conditions index dropped one and a half points from 52.4 to 50.9, while the future expectations index moved down from 52.8 to 51.8. Both indexes continue to signal positive growth in remodeling outlays.
Regionally, the Midwest's strong growth was offset by slight declines in the South and West and a sharp drop in the Northeast. Current market conditions in the Midwest improved from 44.7 to 50.2. The Northeast dropped from 59.1 to 43.6. The West and South moved from 58.5 to 56.3 and 55.7 to 53.7, respectively.
"The small declines in the overall RMI measures of current market conditions and expectations for the future reflect relatively firm readings for owner-occupied housing but serious deterioration for the rental housing market," said NAHB Chief Economist Dave Seiders. "A massive amount of equity in the hands of homeowners bodes well for this segment of the remodeling market down the line, and declining vacancies in rental housing should improve the prospects for remodeling of the rental stock before long. Furthermore, remodeling activity will be stimulated by recovery from this year's unprecedented hurricane damage."
Owner-occupied units saw almost no change in current market activity by dropping one tenth of a point to 56.2. Renter-occupied units declined from 45.8 to 37.9. In the futures expectation index, owner-occupied units again saw little change from the second quarter by moving from 55.8 to 55.4. Renter-occupied units dropped sharply from 43 to 31.
The RMI "special questions" section delved into remodelers' plans for growing their businesses. Remodelers expect their dollar volume to grow by 11 percent to an average of U.S $1.4 million in 2005, up from $1.2 in 2004. Fifty-eight percent of remodelers plan to grow their businesses organically, while 4 percent plan to grow via acquisition or merger. Four of 10 businesses have no plans to expand into other areas of work or new geographic regions. Approximately 11 percent of remodelers have been approached to be acquired by another business, indicating a low likelihood for major consolidation in the industry.
