If you're dreaming of a wedding full of that quintessential Brooklyn charm, there's no place quite like 501 Union, and no one to capture it quite like Readyluck. So, you're in for quite the treat with this DIY Brooklyn day full of industrial glam details and a whole lot of love. See it all now in The Vault!
From The Bride…I'm not one who dreamed of my wedding since grade school, so when it came time to plan, I thought I was a chill bride open to anything. Turns out I am actually a carbon copy of Sally from When Harry Met Sally: the high-maintenance pain who swears she's low maintenance. I discovered I had all sorts of opinions about what I didn't want—no mason jars, no colorful back lighting, no bodacious sculptures in ice—and few about what I did.
Because my fiancé Rick and I had a relatively short engagement (10 months), we were under the gun to make some fast decisions. Happily, the venue was an easy one. Gowanus' 501 Union, just a short walk from our apartment, had an aesthetic we loved: industrial glam, cool metallic wallpaper, and the flexibility to skew vintage or modern. It really helped to pick a place with point of view, as blank-slate venue intimidated me.
I wasn't really a fan of traditional fall colors (oranges, browns, deep greens, etc.) so a seasonal palette didn't appeal. We initially thought we wanted gray tones with a pop of violet, because our wonderful letterpress invitations from Brooklyn's Papel had oyster-colored print and a purple foil edge. Finding the perfect shades of gray was tough, so three months before our wedding I was totally stymied. Luckily in NYC there are so many pros who can pull something together on a dime. I hired event designer Ashley Chamblin to help refine a design plan that I could execute myself. Because Rick and I enjoyed traveling, we made that a motif, rather than a main theme that hit you over the head. Ashley also helped me settle on blush/neutrals for bridesmaid dresses, a color that suited everyone. Being a bridesmaid is a thankless job, so I kept the bridal party small so we could afford to buy everyone a dress that they would wear again. Any style was fine with me as long as it fit the color palette.
Aside from the flowers and table setting, I sourced or created most of the décor on my own. I dragged my family to flea markets in rural Ohio to find old suitcases, travel books, and vintage postcards so guests could write well wishes on them in lieu of a traditional guest book. Planning a New York wedding, you quickly get used to taking every high-end estimate and doubling it, so looking outside the tri-state area for these details helped cut costs. We also tried to use what we had. Rather than buy a welcome sign, we placed my mint-colored bike in front of 501 Union with a hand-tied bouquet to signal where the party was.
To commemorate our separate journeys and the adventures that brought Rick and I together, we sprinkled photos of us traveling with friends and family throughout the venue. Ashley suggested clipping some onto a twinkling star garland, an idea I loved, but I was determined not to have the traditional 5-point star shape (this was a wedding, not a kids birthday party). Finding the perfect burst-style garland on Etsy was a challenge but worth the hunt. When you're DIYing, it's easy to drown in these kinds of details. I found myself up to 2:30 am the nights before the wedding ironing our custom logo onto welcome bags or spending way too many hours scouring eBay looking for the perfect vintage toy plane. I eventually relented and rented a few tabletop travel items from Octavia & Brown, along with some great mercury glass vases. When everything came together, I think the overall effect was us—a little hodge-podge, but fun and personal.
The dress shopping process defied my expectations. We looked at several lovely boutiques in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but all the styles I thought I'd like ended up looking like window drapery on me. Despite my trepidation, we ended up at Kleinfeld at my mother-in-law's suggestion. Yeah, it's sort of a factory, but the fact is they have a very deep bench. I happened to get a wonderful consultant, who brought me Jayne by English designer Eliza Jane Howell. It had an elegance that my late Anglophile grandmother would have loved, plus intricate beading and sparkle I couldn't take my eyes off of. Sold!
As the dress was a splurge, I economized on the other details of my look. I settled on some Badgley Mischka shoes with embellishments on the back that wouldn't compete with my dress. Because I was wearing my paternal grandmother's engagement ring and great grandmother's stole, I finished it off some inexpensive, low-key jewelry from Nordstrom. (By the way, I can't say enough good things about that place for noncommittal brides. They have an amazing return policy and if there are any problems with shipments they'll overnight you new ones.)
Flowers were one of last things to be decided. I'd worked with Lilli of Mimosa Floral, and for a variety of factors out of our control, (e.g., I got food poisoning a few weeks before the wedding), our plan wasn't finalized until the week before the wedding. That would give most girls a coronary but I trusted her talent and it came together beautifully. We decided on ivory florals alongside greenery, with pops of coral and blush. The stunning asymmetrical chuppah with jasmine vine was one my favorite touches, and I loved how Lilli juxtaposed more romantic garden roses and anemones with protea and and air plant in my bouquet. I tried to keep the table setting fairly modern and clean, with mercury glass votives and a nubby textured gray tablecloth with a little sheen to it—less Vegas, more grandma's silver.
I'm a firm believer that no one wants to take home favors emblazoned with the bride and groom's name or likeness. So Rick put his excellent negotiation skills to work and cut a deal to get some cool travel kits from Flight 001 at a discount for our favors. We also created some custom leather luggage tags embossed with an adventure-themed quote and used them as place cards.
Cake was a surprisingly low priority on the list. We adorned it simply with a few flowers, as the main event was the dessert truck. The beauty of our venue was that you can pull a food truck inside the garden, so we had CoolHaus serve ice cream sandwiches, which were a huge hit. Sadly, I didn't have any because I was too busy dancing. But you can have ice cream any old day—you can't always geek out on the dance floor with your very favorite people.
If you're doing the hard work of DIY-ing details, make sure they're executed exactly as you envision at the venue. In retrospect I wish I'd hired Ashley as my planner and design-focused coordinator. You will run out of time to triple-check everything the day-of, and your bridesmaids will likely be occupied helping you with other last minute details. Having someone who can advocate for your style is important. When I tried to move a piece of décor that was in the wrong spot an hour before the ceremony, I actually had one person argue that the bride told her she wanted it in that place. I was like, Um, I'm wearing a sparkly white dress—I think that makes me the bride! Crazy stuff like this happens; I also forgot to wear my veil, and the venue didn't have a printer so I read my vows off my phone (klassy!). You just have to roll with it.
I also implore all couples to take photos before the ceremony. Not only does it let you enjoy cocktail hour with your guests (and why would you want to miss your own party?!), but also it gives you some one-on-one time with your partner you won't have at any other point. I didn't even realize how stressed I was from planning until I saw Rick's teary, smiling face at the first look and felt such relief. Being with him prior to the wedding wiped away all my pent-up anxiety and put my focus back on us. He had rented a fabulous 1953 Rolls Royce that spirited us away to Red Hook for photos by the water and in front of some awesome old factories and street art. We were lucky that our photographer, Edward Winter of READYLUCK, knew all the right spots and whisked us around to the most perfect backdrops.
Which brings me to my last tip: Find vendors who put you at ease. Wedding planning is far too nerve-racking to waste time or money on people who don't have your back. Eddie was a super-huge win on that point. He didn't just create amazing shots. He constantly ran interference, gently herding family members into the right spots, even sticking up for the bridal party when the limo driver refused to turn down the A/C for my freezing ladies.
Favorite moment? Too many to choose! Definitely at the altar when it all became "real"—I was finally teaming up with my very favorite person on earth. Having Rick's four kids there to support us meant everything, especially witnessing his oldest deliver a heartfelt speech and his youngest walk our tux-clad pup Luca down the aisle. I also loved that turning point when the formalities of the evening evolved into a massive dance party/family reunion, just exactly as I'd hoped!

March 18 News: Carbon Tax Vs. Sequester Cuts — A Winning Policy Vs. A Losing One
Tom Friedman's Sunday column says it is ridiculous that the sequester cuts have gone through, yet a carbon tax is not even on the table. [New York Times]
…[I]t strikes me as crazy that one of the obvious solutions to our budget, energy and environmental problems — the one that would be the least painful and have the best long-term impact (a carbon tax) — is off the table. Meanwhile, the solution that is as dumb as the day is long — a budget sequester that slashes spending indiscriminately — is on the table.
Shrinking the tax deduction for charity is on the table. Shrinking Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for the poor are on the table. But a carbon tax that could close the deficit and clean the air, weaken petro-dictators, strengthen the dollar, drive clean-tech innovation and still leave some money to lower corporate and income taxes is off the table. So the solutions that are lose-lose and divisive are on the table, while the solution that is win-win-win-win-win — and has both liberal and conservative supporters — is off the table.
The sequester is endangering scientific research at educational institutions, which could cause brain drain and force scientists to spend less time researching and more time looking for grants. [Washington Post]
The government of Alberta took out an ad in Sunday's New York Times pushing Keystone XL as "The Choice of Reason." [Huffington Post]
Ethanol production in the U.S. has dropped 10 percent due to falling gasoline consumption and the drought affecting much of the nation's crops. [New York Times]
The state of Oregon is showing interest in adopting a carbon tax, and has invited British Columbia's environment minister down to discuss BC's system. [Oregon News 1130]
A new report says that proposed EU fuel efficiency proposals could create up to 400,000 jobs and save tens of billions of euros. [Planet Ark]
Geothermal energy is gaining support from some unlikely quarters, and many see it as a growing piece of the pie. [OilPrice.com]
In the UK, new draft curriculum guidelines eliminate most mentions of climate change for children under 14. [Guardian]
The carbon dioxide absorbed by plankton is higher than once assumed, according to a new study. [LA Times]

"I'm an environmentalist. I think we can't keep burning coal because the carbon it produces is, right this moment, melting the Arctic, acidifying the ocean and raising the temperature of the earth in ways that most climate scientists think endanger the prospects of our civilization.
But part of civilization is taking care of people who have worked hard. That's why every climate bill proposed in Congress should have extensive sections designed to protect retirees and retrain existing workers."
Absolutely heart wrenching article.
Something to look into, a rather confusing article , with a scary bit of info :
Global warming effect on Antarctica, ice cover disappears from King George Island
"Antarctica has witnessed major geographical changes since only last year as the ice cover at most of its 20 islands has noticeably receded, at the King George island, however, it has totally disappeared," said Singh…………………Bandanjot said the team members, lead by British explorer Sir Robert Swan, literally witnessed the climate changes.
He said that as per members of the last expedition, the changes were drastic, as there was about 800-metre of thick ice cover at King George island which has now completely disappeared and at other islands too, it has receded."
I'm mentioned a month or so ago going to a lecture by Dr. Chip Taylor focused on Monarch Butterflies (and polinators), fascinating stuff (we're very close to tipping the Monarch migration – Mexico to Canada and back in the fall – into extinction with climate change playing a big part here).
I was very impressed by the Climate Change talk Dr. Taylor had in his presentation. I found a video of his presentation from a couple of months earlier (basically the same presentation) is here (principle Climate Change talk starts at about 27min):
As an addendum to the talk the overwintering population in Mexico was 1.19 hectares of butterflies the smallest ever (to put it in perspective 2 years ago there were 4 hectares):
Anyone that gardens and can put some milkweed in, it would make a significant difference (as RoundUp Ready farming has decimated much of the Monarch breeding environment in the U.S. west of the Rockies over the last decade) – more info at the MonarchWatch site if interested.
Timely (very good ) book on climate change/monarch butterflies (fiction?) by Barbara Kingsolver: Flight Behavior. "With deft and versatile empathy Kingsolver dissects the motives that drive denial and belief in a precarious world"
Thanks Carol I'll check it out.

Recycling center of Fair Isle
Favorite thing: An island that is so small and so down to nature faces some rather worldly problems as well. I was quite amused at first when I saw the "recycling center" of Fair Isle, but thinking about it this is a very good and important measure!
For more information on this aspect you might want to have a look at this interesting article
One funny side aspect: the platform is sometimes "recycled" into a stage for open air concerts!!!
See that seal??
Favorite thing: Other than birds you might be able to see seals, orcas or other whales off Fair Isle - it is always a matter of a little luck!!!
If you go, I wish you just as much luck as we had, when we spotted some seals relaxing on the rocks....
Favorite thing: Birdwatching is the number one activity on Fair Isle. There is a Bird Observatory on the island and where you go you will find people with binoculars trying to spot one of the many different birds on the island.
So if you are interested in birds, this is the place for you to go!!!
Fair Isle impressions
Favorite thing: Just the other day VT member Daarth and I discussed whether it is possible to use a cell phone on Fair Isle or not. Well, we found out:
yes, it is possible to use a cell phone there, so it is not difficult to keep in touch with your loved ones....
Besides, there is a telephone booth on Fair Isle, but when we visited in June 2005, it was out of order....
Fair Isle flag
Favorite thing: Fair Isle is a tiny island between the Shetlands and the Orkneys, belonging to the Shetlands. It is only 5 km long and 3 km wide. Fair Isle is well known for its fabulous bird life, its knitware and the historic ship-wrecks.
Fondest memory: The friendly welcome in the town hall, my talk with the children from the local school and watching the puffins!

What. The. Fuck. Has she converted to Scientology or something? What a freak.
@1, which one converted?
Seriously, I hear what Hillary says, read what she says and you can litterally see the trianglation going on. Hell, watch her on TV and you see the trianglation going on in her thought bubble.
I hate Hillary. I really really do.
they a freaking out over Vaseline?
On the news at noon today (KOMO 4 at 11) they were doing some banter about one of the newsreaders losing a Seahawks bet.
Then one of them says "OK now back to reality: Hilary was on the Tyra Banks show"
And the press leading up to this era wept.
I'm confused. Is Tyra credible now? I thought it had been established that she's batshit crazy, or not the sharpest knife in the drawer at the very least. I was about to ask why she wouldn't go on Oprah, but Duh. Glad I realized the answer to that question before I asked it. Upon reflection though, even though Oprah endorses Obama, why would that mean that she wouldn't invite other candidates onto her show to talk?
was that vaseline made out of diamonds? it sort of looked like it, and that would be the only explanation for that.
Hillary's doing it for the kids? Oh, well, it's settled then.
OMG, Tyra makes me want to bang my head against the wall. She is ridiculous. After her whole "I have a crippling fear of dolphins and can't get into water near them" show, my 11-year-old sister-in-law informed me that she is most afraid of dolphins. Further questioning led to her admitting it was because Tyra is, too.
God, I hate Tyra so much. And Hillary going on Tyra is a pretty fucking poor response to Oprah-Obama. I mean, come on, has anyone on her campaign watched 'The Soup' and their myriad of Tyra clips? How can you expect to be taken seriously as a candidate- man or woman- if you're on TYRA?
@9 - because most people are stupid, especially the ones that tune in to Tyra (base generalization).
Remember when a certain Presidential candidate went on Arsenio Hall and played the saxaphone? Remember that Arsenio wasn't exactly considered a journalistic heavyweight?
Lighten up.
This show?
What's TV? Is that like YouTube on steroids?
Just to note... Obama was on Tyra's show too.
I always knew Tyra was batshit but that takes the cake. Or vaseline, I guess. I assume she was poking fun at Oprah's giveaway shows - which is a much funnier parody that the SNL or Mad TV ones. I can't imagine ever watching her show but that was seriously hilarious.
I love Tyra, but I cannot stand her talk show. It is 100% idiotic. (I don't have to see the clip, I know how bizarre it must be.)
Top Model is great, though.

Obviously the visual came first, then the headline. Then the planner wrote the strategy.
I found it exact oposite meaning...I don't for hwhat extend I am right.
"Idea never die"
What a lame, cack idea, come on.
You'd think they would show people actually unwinding, as opposed to wound up. This is the beginnings of an ok concept, but they could have tried pushing the 'unwind' idea visually a bit harder.
"Now push the 'Make it good' button."
Doin' it for the points
this released all over...and we O&M fans were surprised to find such mediocre work, seriously!
after reaching amazing heights in the creative sphere, O&M is certainly not doing justice to its own reputation.
c'mon, abhijit avasthi is d same guy who did award winning fevicol ads...and then this... such a let down :/
~ old habits die hard, older ones never do ~
Oh my god. You also owe me 20 seconds of my time for seeing this.
The balance is still good mate. And I like to see the bad ads too. They make the good ads even better.
I agree with Dadzarat on pushing the unwind idea a bit further. Looking at this pic only makes me feel more tied up.
Most times, worst enemies used to be best friends...
same concept used twice, same company! for diffrent product!

The Bowel Truth Stools Can Reveal A Lot About Your Health From your stool you may be able to get clues about your diet, your gastrointestinal health, and even whether your stress, anger, or anxiety levels are too high. From the moment food enters your mouth, your body embarks on a campaign to turn it into a soupy mush called chyme. Chewing, saliva, peristalsis (the involuntary contractions of gastrointestinal muscles), bacteria, hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, bile, and other secretions all work to give each meal the consistency of split pea soup. While your digestive cells are absorbing sugars, starches, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, waste products continue traveling down the line.

The mountain has 1,679 feet of vertical with a base elevation of 7,030 with the peak at just over 8,700 feet. The resort offers seven chairlifts, a T-Bar and three moving carpets for the beginner skiers and snowboarders.
Now locally owned and operated, China Peak Mountain Resort provides a big Sierra experience close to home – with total acreage, elevations, vertical rise and terrain comparable to many Lake Tahoe resorts.

The author presents something different from the ordinary textbook of biologic chemistry. In fact, it is an introduction to such works. The author appreciates the difficulties and modestly asks consideration for any shortcoming in the attainment of his ideals. These ideals are a philosophical unification and simplification of the chemical and physical processes of living matter. He prefers the term "living matter" to the term "cell." In the introduction he discusses protoplasm and closely related matter, building material and "heat material," electrolysis, energy, material of the cell nucleus, and the bioelements. The inorganic elements are classified as the essential and the accidental or relatively nonessential. Under the latter term many metals heretofore considered nonessential are deemed worthy of perhaps more consideration than some writers have accorded to them. Such metals include aluminum, copper, arsenic, lead, bromine, cobalt, manganese, silicon and others. The author gives full references to the original work

Thought I'd post this as a tip here, since it worked out well enough for me. I had an old piano with a cracked sound board, and couldn't get a quote for under $400 in Toronto to remove it. One 'junk' company said they don't even do pianos for any price. Compared to the hourly equivalent of my salary, I thought there's no way I can pay $400 to have a piano removed for scrap so I decided to just do it myself.
The green aspect of this exercise was to save the cast iron harp from landfill. If you have ivory keys, they have value too.
Based on my Williams piano, made in Toronto, here's what I learned:
1. You can quite easily get a few front/top/side panels off. Don't take too many off as the integrity of the structure should be largely preserved for step 5.
2. The keys can be removed
3. the playing action can be removed.
4. before moving it as described in step 5, I wanted to detension the strings. The tuning knobs are square pegs of soft metal. Big- a$$ Crescent vice grips were perfect for this. Wear leather gloves and serious eye protection! The 200 odd strings at full tension are not to be treated lightly.
5. With about 50-75 pounds of the weight removed, and considering that a scrap piano doesn't need to be babied, my wife and I were easily able to manhandle the thing to the door and over the lip onto a jury-rigged ramp on the back steps. We lined it up and let it go. The LZ in the back patio was protected with a big sheet of plywood. Nothing, not even the remaining structure of the piano, got busted during this process though there was a slight risk of accident to be sure.
5. Remaining panels can then be removed, and then the frame with harp laid down on its back.
6. Removing the strings can be done with or without cutting them. I avoided cutting as much as possible, and having already detensioned them in step 4, I found it was possible to slip the string off its peg at the bottom of the sound board, fish up it from underneath a metal bracket at the top of the sound board, and then literally unwind/yank each end out of the tuning pegs with a violent circular motion. Use leather gloves, and pliers as needed.
7. Removing the 20-odd screws that held the harp to the frame was slightly difficult. Launching the unit down the ramp, combined with leaving it to sit in the rain for a day, had seemingly distorted the wooden frame relative to the iron harp, such that huge shear stresses had developed on the various screws. First I bent a screwdriver tip from a multi-bit screwdriver. Then, I got a regular chrome-vanadium screwdriver, 6"x1/4" slothead, clamped the handle with aforesaid vice grip for a 10-fold increase in torque, and bent that one too. Went to the store for a 12"x3/8" monster slothead, once more with the vice grips, and this time got all but one of the screws, which I stripped. One remaining screw is easy though, since I could just pry it out by lifting the harp itself away from the frame.
8. A quick post on craigslist for free scrap iron yielded two hits within 6 hours. If you tried a bit harder you might even get a bit of cash for it. I also kept one or two of the larger wood panels for future projects. The rest of the wood will be fed to regular garbage pickup every two weeks.
9. Total time was about 5 hours, or $80/hr. Comfortably more than my hourly income. YMMV.

Haha, the video is awesome! Re kijiji and craigslist, can't sell it in good conscience with the damaged soundboard and the scrap value doesn't come close to covering the cost of recycling so a scrap dealer won't take an intact piano. If it's in good working condition, yes you could quite possibly get someone to take it for free at curbside (I personally would not trust someone coming to take a 400 pound piano for free to get it out of my house safely without damaging something, or worse still, injuring themselves and suing me) but given the quality of digital pianos these days, you'd have to be pretty desperate to want an old but quite ordinary acoustic.

Interactive video to provide patient information on ECT

Research Institution:
AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the United States, the right to determine if medical tests, procedures or treatments are to be conducted is manifest through the process of informed consent. The doctrine of informed consent specifies that competent individuals have the right to make a "right" or "wrong" decision so long as the following 3 core criteria are met: (1) relevant medical information has been disclosed in understandable terms, (2) the patient has the mental capacity to make the decision, and (3) the decision is voluntary. The process of obtaining informed consent with a person who has a serious mental illness can be especially difficult. For patients with severe depression, with or without psychotic features, it is unclear how a patient would interpret information that would otherwise be easily understood in the absence of the illness. Insuring informed consent for electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) is particularly problematic. This is a proposal to develop a computer-based interactive video for patients considering ECT as a treatment. It will 1) provide fair and balanced medical information about ECT in an easy to understand television-news documentary format, 2) conduct interactive exercises to explore the patients understanding of treatment options and consequences, and 3) provide an "adaptive learning mode" for patients who are unable to understand the video presentation. This program will augment the process of informed consent by providing feedback to the clinician regarding the patients' comprehension of the (a) indications for ECT, (b) actual procedure, and (c) risks and benefits. The clinician will ultimately decide if the patient is truly giving informed consent based on their interactions with the patient as well the additional information provided by the interactive computer program. This Phase I proposal will develop the interactive video system for (a) indications for ECT. Feasibility and user satisfaction will be assessed.

I have installed WordPress on my site and have included a shortcode contact form on the following page:
That is all fine as is the shortcode "join our mailing list" form on the homepage (http://alpha-art.co.uk/).
I have a problem however. My sidebar is not available in the Appearance options (due to the type of theme I'm using). Instead, anything I put in the sidebar - see http://alpha-art.co.uk/about-us/ for the example - has to be input into my sidebar.php whilst editing the theme scripts. I have put in the php scripts for the Facebook Like button and also linking a couple of photos up there. I have been trying to get another "Join our mailing list" in there above the Facebook Like button.
Having read some forums, I have put the following php script onto the sidebar.php editor:
if ( isset($si_contact_form) ) {
echo $si_contact_form->si_contact_form_short_code( array( 'form' => '1' ) );
However, this has not brought the form up. Do I need to do anything else to show this form in the php editor? I am totally stumped now and would be very grateful for any help!
Many thanks,

The midfielder completed a two-match suspension as the Shrimps were thrashed 5-1 at Accrington, whom they have still not beaten when the two have been in the Football League.
Boss Jim Bentley revealed this week that midfielder Stewart Drummond could miss the rest of the season after fracturing his toe.
Andy Parrish will also be absent after suffering a slight tear in his cruciate, although Bentley is hopeful that he could be back within two weeks. Full-back Shaun Beeley is back in light training yet remains two weeks away from a return from his hamstring problem.

The Alabama Basketball Team is set for its second round NIT game tonight. The Tide hosting New Mexico at Coleman Coliseum. Tide Coach Anthony Grant says postseason play is much different than conference play because you have to learn to deal with unfamiliar opponents.
"Their tendencies, how they're going to attack offensively and defensively and getting them informed as much as possible about who they are as a basketball team," Grant said. "That's different from what we faced since we started conference play."
Alabama and New Mexico will tip at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN.

I wanted to come back and add that there aren't any contraindications for a ketogenic diet for someone trying to lose weight.

I agree with everything you are saying Russell! Keep up the great work that you are doing sharing the knowledge that you have and being an inspiration to others as you strive for better health.

Jelhya. I find that to be true myself. I think obesity, as well as diabetes are caused by our diet, and can be fixed by it too. Current thinking though is that obesity happens, and the big 3 derive from us being obese. We never consider that the recommended diet might be the cause of BOTH the obesity, AND the big 3 increases.
Being that we ( you and I )have done more damage, or were born with health concerns though, we need to be stricter than a healthy person. I personally think that if more people paid attention to types, and amount of carbohydrates from birth, no one would ever need to do something as drastic as a ketogenic diet, except if they were a Type 1 diabetic like yourself. Most of us diabetics are Type 2 though, and I think this is completely avoidable, and that Type 2 diabetes could be eradicated with dietary changes in our national diet. What we are currently doing is eating a diet that causes 70% to be overweight, and diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are just the next step after obesity.
So if we had a national guideline to eat 150 grams a day, and less grains, more vegetables, and the occasional low glycemic fruit, such as berries, no one would ever get so out of shape that they would ever need to make a drastic correction, such as very low carb, ketogenic diets. We are trying to undo decades of poor eating, by doing extreme diets. Why don't we try to stop doing the decades of poor eating?
I think over the next few decades, we are going to have to define what poor eating is.. are grains good, or do they cause cravings?, Is 250 grams a day good enough ( carbs ), or should it be lower?, say 150 grams a day. The damage is worse because people are not even following the guidelines to stick to 250 grams a day ( example ), or eat the foods recommended.
However, we never asks the simple question.. What if the foods that we are told to eat, are the very reason why we overeat? By avoiding the overeating, we could avoid the Type 2 diabetes, and the need for ketogenic diets for most people.

I eat around 25 carbs a day, but that is because I am a type 1 diabetic. I also carefully eat a certain amount of protein. I don't know weather or not my body is in ketosis and I don't care, I eat this way so that I can control my blood sugars. The only way I can do that is to eat slow acting carbohydrate in small amounts.
Obesity and diabetes are very closely related and can be treated as such.

I am seeing this ketogenic diet phase now, and finding that most people don't realize it is just very low carb, as in Atkins first 2 weeks, but some are thinking of it as a permanent diet, which is possible, but not probable.
If you are the average 250 gram a day person, and think you should start a 25 gram a day ketogenic diet, that leaves a lot of space 25-250 grams that you could strike a balance in. I think that doing a regular low carb plan, and seeing how many, and what types of carbs you can fit into your menu is a much better plan.
The diet picks the person, not the other way around. I do 50 NET carbs because of my health concerns, not because I chose that level. Most people can thrive on higher carb levels, and only need to go lower to break addiction/trigger foods etc. Then they can make rational decisions, and become healthier. The goal is the highest carb level you can eat, while still reaching a healthy weight, not the lowest level of carbs. If I could eat macaroni and cheese and banana splits every day, I would. At the start, I avoided these foods because they weren't allowed, but I still craved them. Now, I don't crave them. I know I would like them if I ate them. Low carb allows me to make the decision NOT to eat them. Before low carb, I knew they were bad for me, because I binged and ate them by the bucket, and I couldn't control my intake/calories. I still couldn't stop myself from eating them. Same with pop. I had 400 blood sugars, but drank Pepsi ( regular ) daily, and couldn't stop myself.
All low carb did, was give me control back. What you do after you regain control, is determine through trial and error how many carbs, and what types of carbs you can consume without cravings returning, or gaining weight. This is 60-70 grams a day for me, but may be 170 grams for you. So just plan the start, and let how fast you lose dictate how much you increase your carbs. Don't have any number in mind, just let the results dictate where you top out at. You may be pleasantly surprised to find you can eat a lot more carbs than you would have planned, especially if you are making better carb choices.
Plus you will enjoy low carb a lot more with lots of veggies, some fruit, cheeses, and nuts. If you love the food you are eating, you will stick with it.. so pick low carb foods you enjoy, and then over time add more. That way you will stick with it. Better to stick to 100 grams a day for the next 10 years, than 25 grams a day for the next 10 weeks.
So enjoy and I hope you see results soon!

There are a lot of veggies out there. Have you ever tried jicama? It's crisp and slightly sweet tasting, and I enjoy it instead of an apple. Cabbage, lightly cooked is also remarkably sweet.
And while I've never tried it myself, I've heard that roasting veggies gives them a whole different taste.

"so I'm not going to set myself up for failure."
That is the best and smartest approach to have!
There is nothing wrong with adapting a plan to make it work for you. Everyone is so different, not every plan can be followed to the T.
I do a form of low carb (slow carb), but even on that plan, I had to make it work for me (they do no apples or popcorn, both foods I love...the one day go nuts day, I just can't with that).

Thanks Russell you explained everything so well. I'm thinking, I will need to do more of Atkin's approach. I'll start by cutting down on carbs, but let's face it, I hate veggies, but I do eat fruit. I will talk my baby steps to decrease carbs and increase my veggies and work from there. I know I will not be able to make it on 30 g of carbs, so I'm not going to set myself up for failure.

Hopefully Russell will see your question - he is the most knowledgeable person on these boards about ketogenic diet that I know of. I am currently working on a keto diet - not sure I've ever actually gotten there, but I don't find it restrictive at all. What I love about it is that my cravings are gone and I'm not hungry all the time like I was before when I was still eating gluten, grains and dairy. I'm loving it and I am finally losing a bit of weight - I don't need to lose much so it's going slowly, but I'm down a good 6 pounds in a month and I'm probably eating around 2000 calories a day with the bulk of my calories coming from good healthy fats (I aim for 180-200 grams of fat a day, 75-80 grams of protein a day and 30-35 grams of carbs per day). Everyone is different, but this is most definitely working for me.

The " modified ATKINS diet" that the previous poster alluded to was designed by the cardiologist Dr. Robert Atkins for HEART health, I agree, but rapid weight loss and lack of hunger are what most people have experienced on the diet, and what most people use the diet for. The ketogenic phase of the diet is very short.
Unfortunately, I am one of the people who follow it for BOTH reasons. I was diagnosed with CHF at 27 years old, and was 361 lbs. Over the past 5 years, I have lost almost 1/2 my body weight, and improved my health. I have stopped taking cholesterol and diabetes meds, and both are still maintained by my diet, and I take 1/4th of my BP/heart pills, and my heart is 3X stronger today than in 2002.
I am in phase 3 ( pre-maintenance ), and eat 50 NET carbs, and may find at maintenance that I am no longer in ketosis, since ATKINS varies in how low in carbs you must stay by person. Many people lose weight eating over 100 carbs a day.
Just so you know how restrictive Atkins is, I am eating a can of peas, and a can of tomatoes today, and ate 1 cup of fresh mushrooms with my eggs this morning. My tracker is open for everyone to see. This " restrictive diet " lets me eat 2250 calories, and still lose weight, while never experiencing hunger. In fact some days, I have to split meals into smaller portions, because I am so full, and eat lunch, and dinner over 4 meals instead of 2.
I find every " expert " on the Atkins diet, who says it is restrictive, has either NEVER done the diet, or done it temporarily, at the strictest level, and failed to stick to the diet. If they had made it through Induction, they would have started adding back in lots of vegetables, nuts, cheeses, and fruits, starting with berries. By now they might be enjoying sweet potatoes, and be eating 120 grams of carbs a day, while avoiding the trigger foods that made them obese, but despite not actually having stuck to Atkins, therefore never actually being on anything but Induction, they suddenly know it is " restrictive ". The other option is that they are just saying it is restrictive, because they heard it was.
Think about your first diet. It was also restrictive, but we don't use that word. You had to cut calories, or restrict them.Was it fun? Of course not. You either cut down on certain foods, like ice cream ( restriction ), or cut 500 calories ( restriction ). Simply cutting trans fats, is a restriction ( smart one ). If someone decided to start a calorie cutting diet, I wouldn't say it was restrictive, because that would be like saying that nightime in the country was dark. That is why we call it nighttime. Diet is restriction. Varying levels to be sure, but all diets have restriction. Not having any restrictions is what causes obesity. By making change, you cause change. By remaining the same, you cause yourself to remain the same.
Ketogenic just means that you are burning fat, and the resulting byproduct is ketones. This process is called ketosis/lipolysis. Lipolysis means " dissolving fat ". That is what you are doing. Once glucose is used up ( #1 source of glucose is carbs ), and glycogen too ( stored glucose in muscles ).. the body starts burning fat. It breaks down the cell, and you use the ketones for fuel instead of glucose. It is a simple manipulation of diet, and if done very restrictively, can cause rapid weight loss, and you can control weight loss by how low in carbs you go.
Based on how fast you lose weight on the first phase of Atkins ( 20 NET carbs ), you can raise carbs after the initial 2 weeks. If you lose 14 lbs., you can jump carbs up faster than if you only lose 5 obviously. The other factor is weight loss to lose. If you have 20 lbs. to lose, you may be okay losing 1 lb. a week. If you have 150 lbs. to lose, you may want to stay at 3 lbs. a week for now.
I would suggest that you read Atkins book, which you can find at most libraries. Those acceptable foods are your base, and then you can add things like cheese, berries, and higher glycemic veggies like peas over time.
Following Atkins, you may move away from a ketogenic diet, and still enjoy weight loss. They are not ONE diet. Ketogenic just means that carbs are low enough to cause you to be in ketosis. Most people on Atkins are not in ketosis after the first few months. I am eating 66 grams today, and 17 of those grams are fiber. I am on the border of ketosis. You can slip in and out of ketosis based on one meal, or the lack of carbs at one meal. You won't even know it, unless you start to feel cravings.
On a personal note, I only stay so low carb on Atkins, due to being diabetic. I could eat more and still lose weight, but I don't want to have high blood sugars.
So you can do a ketogenic diet, which just means most likely you need to stick to under 30 grams a day ( to be deep into ketosis ). Depending on why you are in ketosis, if you improve that problem, you can then move on up the carb ladder. I eat 8-12 servings of fruit/veggies a day, as well as a serving of nuts, and occasionally cheese. I have some other health restrictions limiting my greens, but you could basically eat greens till you choked without any harm, and there are so many options.
If you start exploring the various fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and cheeses, you won't have time to know you are on a " restricted " diet, because you will be enjoying a selection of food that is many times greater than what you ate on a " normal " diet.
If reading a book sounds boring, or too time consuming, Google Atkins, and go to their site, but just remember that other than the " acceptable foods list " for a base, Atkins is not the same as a ketogenic diet, except at the lower levels.
So try out the ketogenic diet, but unless you need to lose weight rapidly, or have a health issue, I would just do Atkins, or some other low carb plan, and slowly add back in carbs over time. You may find that 80 grams a day is fine, even though you won't be in ketosis. We all vary. There are many people who do well between 100-150 grams a day. If you can maintain a healthy weight, without cravings, the level that you want is .. as much as possible, right?
The reason I suggest Atkins, other than I did it ( poor reason..lol ), is that it has a ketogenic phase ( good reason ), and a list of what to eat ( better reason ). This phase is like a safe place you can return to if you get lost, and start gaining back weight. If you do not add back in any trigger foods however, you will be using this ketogenic phase as a base, and like Legos, will be building your diet upon this base, piece by piece. Atkins was just the first to read about low carb, and put his name on it, so you will just be following low carb. Same with Paleo. Don't think that Atkins invented low carb, or that Paleo man ate exactly what is suggested on that diet. Just think of them all as low carb, and follow the basic principles of any that you wish to do, and if you wish to remain in a ketogenic state, just keep really low in carbs.
Read up, pick a plan, and give it 2 weeks. Then make a decision based on how you feel.

The ketogenic diet is a highly restrictive diet designed to put a person into a ketogenic state to help with seizure control. There is also a "modified atkins diet" that is used for the same purpose. Neither of these were designed for weight loss.

Is it the ketogenic diet? This site seems to use the terms interchangeably.

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some help on the Keto Diet. My husband recommended I check it out, however I haven't found much information on it. He sent me a link to reddit, which is definitely not the source I want. Does anyone have experience with it, pros and cons? Also, does anyone have a good link for it, where I can do some proper research?

Kohlrabi Fritters with Yogurt-Dill Sauce
Kohlrabi Fritters with Yogurt-Dill Sauce are great if you've discovered kohlrabi at your local farmer's market or found it in your CSA delivery this spring! You now know what to do with it--this recipe is at least a great place to start. Similar to cabbage or cauliflower, kohlrabi can have a slightly bitter cruciferous flavor. Blended with the buttery flavor of shredded Yukon Gold potatoes, these fritters take on a mellow slightly nutty flavor.

Recent advances in information and networking technologies have contributed significantly to global connectivity and greatly facilitated and fostered information creation, distribution, and access. The resultant ever-increasing volume of online textual documents creates an urgent need for new text mining techniques that can intelligently and automatically extract implicit and potentially useful knowledge from these documents for decision support. This research focuses on identifying and discovering event episodes together with their temporal relationships that occur frequently (referred to as evolution patterns (EPs) in this paper) in sequences of documents. The discovery of such EPs can be applied in domains such as knowledge management and used to facilitate existing document management and retrieval techniques [e.g., event tracking (ET)]. Specifically, we propose and design an EP discovery technique for mining EPs from sequences of documents. We experimentally evaluate our proposed EP technique in the context of facilitating ET. Measured by miss and false alarm rates, the EP-supported ET (EPET) technique exhibits better tracking effectiveness than a traditional ET technique. The encouraging performance of the EPET technique demonstrates the potential usefulness of EPs in supporting ET and suggests that the proposed EP technique could effectively discover event episodes and EPs in sequences of documents
