Report: Bucs Add Wannstedt to Head Special Teams

Wannstedt will coach the Bucs special teams according to reports

Schiano Talks Stunts, Record and The Future On 98.7 The Fan
Schiano Might Have Saved His Job With Win Over Bills
The Buccaneers have reportedly added former Bears and Dolphins head coach Dave Wannstedt to replace the fired Bob Ligashesky as their special teams coach. Wannstedt and head coach Greg Schiano have a relationship dating back to 1996 when Schiano joined the Chicago Bears as an assistant coach.
When Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano assembled his coaching staff after being hired last January, some were critical of the number of assistant coaches that came from the college ranks.
Schiano has had to replace four assistants this offseason and although Tampa Bay hasn't confirmed any of them, it appears all the coaches that will be added will have NFL experience.
The latest addition to the staff is former Bears head coach Dave Wannstedt, who reportedly has been hired to coach the Bucs special teams, replacing Bob Ligashesky who was let ago earlier this week.
Wannstedt and Schiano are familiar with each other, as Schiano was the defensive assistant for the Bears under Wannstedt in from 1996-1999.
Wannstedt served as the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills the past two seasons and prior to that was the head coach for the University of Pttsburgh for six seasons. Wannstedt also had two NFL head coaching jobs, first with Chicago and later the Miami Dolphins.
Recent reports have former Cowboys assistant John Garrett set to take over for P.J. Fleck as receivers coach, and former Saints and Jaguars assistant Tony Oden in line for the defensive backs job vacated when Ron Cooper was released from his contract to join the USF Bulls.
Bucs general manager Mark Dominik confirmed two weeks ago that former Cardinals and Rutgers assistant John McNulty has been hired to replace Ron Turner as the Bucs QB coach.

One question for Wanny. Joe Flacco or Tyler Palko ?
February 4, 2013
3:23 am
I say this is great-Go Bucs
February 3, 2013
1:19 pm
Just a thought: many of us believe that if Sullivan becomes a head coach somewhere his replacement has already been hired. Could it be that Sheridan's replacement has now been hired? I'm just saying....
February 3, 2013
12:04 am
Not sure about this one either, at least he has experience even though it is on Defense not Special Teams. Our coverage units didn't seem too bad last year, although I'm not sure where we ranked. But our return teams did not perform well, especially compared to last year. I believe most of the problem was our choice of return men. They did not seem very decisive, and did not always hit the hole hard enough or FAST enough. I thought the rookie, Smith, did a better job in the pre-season than our regular season guys did. Smith had a bad return or two in that first game and then he seemed to be inactive the rest of the season. I'm sure that was a numbers game, but he seemed to be our best return man and he never saw the field.
February 2, 2013
6:16 pm
Ryan Maybe but kiffen that was my hope.
February 2, 2013
5:41 pm
Of course our stats for kick returns and run backs fell off badly last year. The all time leading touchdown returner for the Bucs, Michael Spurlock, was stupidly let go last year--how dumb was that in retrospect? And Spurlock had become a dependable deep wide receiver, with his blazing speed. Don't you think that could have helped us at the third receiver position last year? He even had good size too and had never been hurt. If Wanstadt is smart he'll suggest getting Spurlock back this year if possible. I do think Wanstadt is a good hire. I watched a number of his teams he coached at Pittsburg and they were good in all categories. He also is close to Schiano, and it always helps to have loyal assistants, too.
February 2, 2013
4:11 pm
Food for thought to tjbucsman:]] ]]]Norv Turner is better as an assistant than as a head coach. As far as I know he is still highly regard as a defensive mind. ]]]]I hope the situation is similar for Wannstedt.
February 2, 2013
3:17 pm
great hire. they need more of a stable,experienced hand . hope they form a cohesive unit they can lead this young team and teach them to become champions.a team of champions. year 2 of this regime should be another step up. i believe that freeman is/could be the best qb in buc history. i think jackson and williams can be the best receivers in buc history. and... i think that doug martin can and will be the best rb in team history. scoff if you will, but they truly look like a team that can be long term winners.
February 2, 2013
2:42 pm
you guys arent seeing the bigger picture, what AFC division do we play this year? anyone? AFC EAST! think of how much info this guy and help us with on game planning our defense! he faced the brady twice a year and the bills defense always played tough against them...i like the hire. go bucs!
February 2, 2013
2:04 pm
Horse and cressell, you guys no what you're talking about. We have a young team and need experienced coaches. I'm tired of younger is better, especially with coaches. This guy can coach (not head coach). He has energy and passion (yes;even at 60). Many of the assistant coaching jobs he lost was because of regime changes. This is another silvered hired hire in the likes of Butch Johnson, Jimmy, Sheridan, and the rest. Good mix of young and older coaches. People can and player can no longer complain about young college coaches.
February 2, 2013
10:59 am
I don't know if this is a good or bad hire, but I do believe in general that experience can be overrated in certain professions. The ideal hire is someone that has tons of talent and experience. It's a hard thing to find and always expensive when you find it. If I had to choose one or the other I would choose talent. Which brings me back to my original statement: I don't know if this is a good or bad hire because I don't know how much talent Wannstedt actually has as a ST coach.
February 2, 2013
10:33 am
I don't know quite how I feel about this hire. Part of me says you can never have too much experience, but how does this improve ST? I like Wannstedt's resume in defense and having that experience around will surely help. But with his considerable resume of head coaching and decision-making positions, is this a guy who is going to throw himself 24-7 into the job of improving STs? There were young, up-and-coming candidates out there like Dwayne Stukes who left the Bucs and our ST rating went from 14 to 28 in the league. He is currently an asst. ST Coordinator with the Bears who is ranked 6 in the league. If experience was the overwhelming factor, why didn't we pursue Rich Bisaccia when he was available? Or is Belichick the only coach out there who believes that you can successfully re-hire past players and coaches? I will trust Schiano's judgment on this one and being one to give the benefit of the doubt, I hope he does in effect improve our STs and we get the additional benefit of his extensive experience. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst2012
February 2, 2013
9:58 am
Quite a dropoff from D-coordinator to special teams coach. There must be a reason. What happened in Buffalo? Food for thought. Although he can not be any worse than what we had this past season.
February 2, 2013
9:51 am
He certainly has been around. I don't know if that is agood thing or bad thing.
February 2, 2013
9:50 am
I think that this is a good hire. He is a very experienced Coach. It's not all about a screaming/excited/ energy abound that makes good Special Teams play; it's about attention to detail.
February 2, 2013
5:29 am
Lets hope the newly assembled staff can quickly form a cohesive unit.
February 2, 2013
1:06 am
Great hire, not only for our special team but also for our defense. Wannstedt knows defense.
February 1, 2013

thats great we have sheridan and wannstedt, while jauron and ryan are free to sign anywhere

You'd really want Rob Ryan? That fat bag of wind fires up every opposing team the week before the game. No thanks.

IN 2011, THE BRUINS were two games away from playing for the Class 2A state title. If senior Nick Beasley has anything to do with it, St. Joseph Catholic School will be contending for rings this December.
The all-state wide receiver is returning for his final season with the Bruins, and is excited about the prospects of helping his team earn a spot in the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) state football championship.
"We just want to do what we did last year, but do it better," he said.

Today's question comes to us from our friend Basil Sands. What is your charcter's favorite drink, and what does it say about his (or her) view of the world?
24 comments:
Through the Cotten Stone thriller series (THE GRAIL CONSPIRACY, THE LAST SECRET, THE HADES PROJECT, and THE 731 LEGACY), Cotten enjoyed sipping Absolut Swedish vodka. In THE PHOENIX APOSTLES, science journalist, Seneca Hunt, preferred Jack Daniels. And in my upcoming thriller, THE BLADE, OSI federal agent Maxine Decker is a fan of Johnnie Walker Black. All three are strong-willed women and their choice of drinks reflects their demeanor.
ReplyDeleteMax Quarry doesn't really have a favorite drink, though he'll grab a beer once in a while, but he does have one he detests: coffee. I think I've got a line where he says something like, "I'd rather drink a hot cup of liquified crap."
His partner, Dylan, rarely drinks anything but water, because she's determined never to be off guard or have anything in her body that reduces her control."Monster" Energy drink. She likes the sugar and the caffeine. I don't approve of her drinking that because it's bad for her health, but my characters sometimes have minds of their own.
ReplyDeleteAh thanks for posting this one Kathryn.
Retired Marine Master Sergeant Marcus 'Mojo' Johnson is partial to thick dark stout or porter from the UK, monastery brews from western Europe and his own home-brew recipe. What's it say about him? He's a mellow guy who likes to relax but is complex and deeper than one might expect.
CIA Agent Kharzai Ghiassi loves the fig wine he had when under cover in Iran but has never been able to find another like it. Otherwise it is water or green tea, cuz his needs are simple...smile a lot and make the bad guy's life hell, then kill them.Jack has a love/hate battle with good scotch and a Starbucks addiction. His partner and ex-girlfriend Sydney favors cold caffeine. His friend and mentor Lenny from Interpol enjoys beer from around the world. Eric, their young computer wizard fights hard to keep his Mt.Dew intake at a reasonable level and away from the keyboard.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of variety out there. I wonder how many of the character's favourites are also the writer's favourites? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, hadn't really thought about it. However, this passage gives me an indication:
"Other than a run down Gulfport way to bail a developer out of a RICO case involving post-Katrina FEMA fraud, it'd been too long since I'd seen water that didn't have bourbon mixed with it."
She also drinks coffee.
Basil in regards to your question, I am a hot tea and gin and tonic kind of girl, so the answer is no in my case.

My character eats and drinks what's local. Since she's in Greece in my current book, she enjoys Mythos beer and Retsina wine. She can always drink Shiner when she's home in Dallas.

KING (ROBOT) OF THE ROAD: The Google fleet consists of conventional vehicles--six Priuses and one Audi--that have been outfitted with off-the-shelf components consisting of two forward-facing video cameras, a 360-degree laser range finder, four radar sensors and advanced GPS units.
Image: COURTESY OF GOOGLE
Long a staple of science fiction, self-driving vehicles that act as robot chauffeurs have been a cultural dream for decades. For most of that time, however, the dream seemed a part of some unattainable future.
But now, led in large part by Google's sudden and unexpected charge, autonomous robot cars come tantalizingly close to reality. As various mapping, sensing and location-based technologies have converged recently, Google has begun to position itself as the leader of our robo-chauffeur future. Yet for all of the technology's promise, it still has some major—and perhaps insurmountable—hurdles to overcome.
Google estimates that one million lives could be saved around the globe by driverless cars each year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in the U.S. alone there were 5.8 million crashes in 2008. Of those, about 34,000 resulted in fatalities, 1.6 million resulted in injuries and 4.2 million entailed some sort of property damage. The NHTSA says these numbers have come down over time—attesting at least partly to the ever-increasing safety of all vehicles—but they clearly still account for a large amount of deaths, injuries and property damage that driverless cars could drastically reduce.
Gigantic leaps with off-the-shelf components
Forty years ago the first self-driving cars were little more than crude, slow-moving contraptions following lines painted on the road. The past several years, however, have seen accelerated success in the quest for autonomous road vehicles, starting with a series of self-driving challenges the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) held between 2004 and 2007 to help develop robots that could replace some U.S. military personnel on the battlefield.
Last year, a group of engineers from Stanford University Dynamic Design Laboratory, the Electronics Research Laboratory for the Volkswagen Group and software-maker Oracle Corp. shifted driverless cars into a higher gear by successfully running their 265-horsepower Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak research car up the 20-kilometer course of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race in Colorado without stopping. The sporty hatchback—Volkswagen owns Audi—carried two computers in its trunk, both using Oracle's Java Real-Time System to run algorithms that kept the car on the road and at the limits of its handling ability on the varying surfaces and conditions.
Google's self-driving car project exited stealth mode last year and now the company is lobbying Nevada to be the first state to allow self-driving cars to be legally operated on public roads. To this point, Google's robot fleet has traveled more than 240,000 kilometers with minimal human intervention and only one incident in which a test car was rear-ended by another (human-driven) vehicle. Unlike the futuristic sci-fi images splashed on movie screens, the Google fleet consists of conventional vehicles—six Priuses and one Audi—that have been outfitted with off-the-shelf components consisting of two forward-facing video cameras, a 360-degree laser range finder, four radar sensors and advanced GPS units.
The Google project is very much an offshoot of the DARPA challenges. In fact, many of the members of the Google team are alumni of those competitions and brought the lessons learned during that time with them.
"Certainly there have been a lot of advances in sensor technology that are allowing us to do this today versus 15 years ago," says Chris Urmson, technical lead for the Google project and a lead on the Carnegie Mellon team that won the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. "But we see the real power as being in the software that's taking that data and figuring out what to do with it."
It is a vehicle's ability to interpret what is going on in its surroundings and then react appropriately that represents perhaps the biggest technical challenge for the future of self-driving cars.
An issue of common sense
An aspect of Google's project often lost on the casual observer is that its cars are not completely autonomous, even when no human is helping drive them. In order for the vehicles to function the route needs to be driven by a human ahead of time in one of the test cars and mapped using its array of sensors. This rich set of mapping data is then stored on a Google data center and a portion of it is loaded into the car's hard drive. The location of stoplights, school zones and anything else that is reasonably static is marked so the car will acknowledge them without having to interpret them in real-time.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
In the House of Parliament, the duke of York, his sons, and the earl of Warwick rejoice over their success at Saint Albans. Riding hard, the Yorkists arrive in London ahead of the routed king, and Henry, entering with his lords, is filled with consternation when he sees York already seated on the throne, to which Warwick conducted him. Some of the king's followers are sympathetic toward York and others are fearful of his power; the two attitudes result in defection in the royal ranks. Seeing his stand weakened, the king attempts to avert disorder by disinheriting his own son and by pledging the crown to York and his sons, on the condition that York stop the civil war and remain loyal to the king during his lifetime.
Annoyed by the reconciliation and contemptuous toward the king because of her son's disinheritance, Queen Margaret deserts the king and raises her own army to protect her son's rights to the throne. The queen's army marches against York's castle as York is sending his sons to recruit forces for another rebellion. York's sons persuade their father that his oath to the king is not binding because his contract with the king was not made in due course of law before a magistrate.
In a battle near Wakefield, Lord Clifford and his soldiers kill Rutland, York's young son, and soak a handkerchief in his blood. Later, as he joins Margaret's victorious army, which outnumbers York's soldiers ten to one, Lord Clifford gives...

Act I
York and his followers have won the first battle of Saint Albons, sending King Henry VI and his Lancastrian supporters to London in retreat. But York arrives in London first and, encouraged by his sons Edward and Richard as well as by Warwick, defiantly seats himself in King Henry's throne in Parliament. (York's claim to the throne, and the origins of the civil wars known as the Wars of the Roses, which were fought between the Yorkists— whose symbol is a white rose—and the Lancastrians— whose symbol is a red rose—are covered in Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part One and Two.) King Henry arrives with his supporters, and after debating with York over whose right it is to rule England, Henry finally promises to resign the crown to York and his heirs, provided that the civil war ends and that Henry is allowed to remain king during his lifetime. York agrees to these conditions and returns home to his castle, but Margaret, Henry's queen, is outraged that their son, Prince Edward, has been disinherited. Backed by Henry's disgruntled supporters, Margaret vows to continue fighting. Meanwhile at home in Yorkshire, York's sons convince him to disregard his oath to Henry, and to insist on being crowned king immediately. Margaret appears outside York's castle with a formidable army. Close by, her Lancastrian supporter Clifford drags York's youngest son, Rutland, away from his tutor and kills him in revenge for the death of his own father, old...

Hey guys I've been drawing for a pretty long time, but I never was an avid artist. So what I was wondering if you guys could critique my artwork and kind of guide me in the right direction towards better techniques. Here are probably my best drawings within the past couple of months. thanks!
p.s I apologize for the picture quality, I do not own a scanner.
These are manga faces I've managed to draw, not something I'm truly interested in but I thought that I would give it a shot.
Here's a picture I drew of a family member, I couldn't draw a mouth at the angle she was at, so I drew tape Instead. I don't know why.
Here's a picture of a puppy I drew from a picture.
I drew this woman's face on my own, but with the help of video tutorials teaching me how to the eyes and the nose separately.
I drew this guy entirely on my own.

Name That Plane
An artist's rendering of the B-2 "Spirit" being refueled by the new KC-45 (insert nickname here). Illustration courtesy of Northrop-Grumman.
Labels: KC-45; Northrop-Grumman
Musings on Life, Love, Politics, Military Affairs, the Media, the Intelligence Community and Just About Anything Else that Captures Our Interest
Labels: KC-45; Northrop-Grumman
Strato was a prefix associated with Boeing products alone. The Statocruiser is another one, for example.
In days gone by, specific manufacturers had themes to their names - McDonnell was supernatural - Phantom, Goblin, Demon, Banshee, etc.; Douglas used the Sky prefix as in Skyhawk, Skylancer, Skyraider, etc.; Grumman was cats as in Bearcat, Tomcat, Hellcat, Wildcat, Tiger, Jaguar, etc., Republic has Thunderjets, Thunderchiefs, Thunderbolts, etc.; and so on.
I hope that the USAF turns to Northrop's heritage when it thinks about names for the KC-45, although I also think the Frog is a great name.
How about:
"The French Filler"
Also consider:
"Le Tanker"
"De Soleil" literally "Of the Sun" but with a wicked homophone
To extend what Ran said, I think the first "Strato" was the Boeing 307 Stratoliner (late 30's) and I believe the prefix is short for "Stratosphere" since the 207 was the first presurized transport capable of flying above the troposhere.
The KC-45 Porkmaster.
Actually the F-35 Raptor was in a un-official naming contest a few years ago by the Chief of Staff.. But aparrently a inner decision was made later on in the process.
I have no name for the KC-45.. to me its a Tanker.. plain and simple
Paint it green and call it The Frog.
The Surrender Monkey?
I'm afraid when the first crew chief hears the name "Porkmaster" the name will stick. It sounds good, is reflective of it's mission and easy to say. We went years with our commanders and crew members telling us maintainers we "had" to call the B-1B the "Lancer". Some were even in trouble for calling it the "Bone" but Bone it is, to anyone who works or flies them today.
Le Petain Pump
Hell, it's the "Bone" even to us Army pukes..

Cattle Decapitation
The Harvest Floor
At long last, Cattle Decapitation has done it. They've made an album where the songwriting lives up to the ebulliently grotesque image and vivicidal (decidedly anti-human) lyricism. And perhaps they're not entirely anti-human (I mean, they were nice enough to make salsa for Johnny Orlando, Jr., so they can't be all bad), but they brandish enough pro-animal fervor to make Ingrid Newkirk look like a chuffing idiot. Okay, so maybe that's not terribly hard to do, but the point is, Cattle Decap(itation) have upped their game immensely.
The name of Cattle Decap's game has been grind-to-death deathgrind, and it wasn't terribly memorable if it weren't for the off-the-wall song titles and immense hatred for their species (statement necessary to include phrase "Bukkake Tsunami" as much as possible). The Harvest Floor infuses those same ideals of mercilessly slaughtering humans and subjecting them to innovative torture machines, but we now see them embracing the bombast and flair that their Colorado brethren Cephalic Carnage have been employing the past few albums. Cattle Decap is still a deathgrind band at its core, but now they're using the haunting tremolo chords of black metal, progressive clean guitar passages, and affording themselves opportunities stretching far beyond the confines of grindcore.
The most notable cuts on the album are its opener and closer(s), "The Gardeners of Eden" and the (sort-of) two-part title track and "Regret & the Grave" respectively. "Gardeners" showcases frontman Travis Ryan chummifying twisted vocal patterns and rolling thunder growls, but the tri-tone shrieks over chunky melodic guitar riffs make the song virulently mesmerizing. "Regret..." is a romanticized look at the destruction of earth by the hands of, well, us, and the reversal of fortune for the animals we've enslaved and feasted upon (like we didn't see that one coming). However, both "Regret" and the title track feature two unexpected elements: a swooning cello cuts through the production like a knife, and Jarboe's guest appearance featuring her ghoulish wails darkens the mood for our inevitable decimation.
I think we expected a bit of progression from Karma.Bloody.Karma. given its more melodic tendencies than its predecessors. But unlike Karma.Bloody.Karma, The Harvest Floor fully realizes Cattle Decap's potential. And that's something I'm glad I can finally say for Cattle Decap after so many years of dedicated listening.

Question by April S. 52 · Nov 03 '11 at 10:29 PM · protein macronutrients calories high-fat carbs
I want to decrease my protein consumption. I eat meat at every meal and it's usually big servings. I don't want my protein to go above 80-100 g but I find that I'm consistently eating over 150 g. I'm only 5'3" and 105 lbs.
Protein and fat are currently my main source of calories. I'm doing VLC plus IF. Macros right now are about 60-70% F, 10-20% P, and 0-10% C. Looking to lose body fat and gain lean mass. I don't want answers that say "why would you limit protein?" I just feel like my body can't handle that much (I know I'm not utilizing all that protein) but I don't know where I would get my calories from. I'd like to stay as low carb as possible (currently eat full-fat dairy sometimes, eat veggies, rarely eat fruit) but I know I'll probably have to increase carb consumption if I want to lower protein. I eat meat with as much fat on them. I'd like to eat around 2000 calories but how do I eat that much without a bulk of it coming from protein? Basically, I would like suggestions on what to eat. Please don't suggest nuts as I'm trying to limit those. I'm thinking of re-introducing sweet potatoes into my diet as well. Also, I don't know if it's relevant, but when I break my fast and eat a large meal (~1200 cals consisting mostly of fat+protein), I find I'm extremely hungry like 2 hours later. Thoughts?

Answer: you shouldn't decrease your protein intake!
You're eating VLC, which means you don't just need protein for itself: you need extra protein to convert to glucose via gluconeogenesis. 20% protein is perfectly reasonable. Any less is likely to leave you deficient unless you add some glucose to compensate.
Our hunger drives are very good at protein targeting. If you're naturally eating the protein in your diet as part of whole, natural foods (e.g. you're not drinking protein shakes), and you're eating the protein because you want it, then the odds are good that it's because your body needs the protein. Respect that.
Answer by Travis Culp 40483 · Nov 04 '11 at 01:04 AM
Given your goal of bodyfat reduction, you should be eating protein from meat to satiety and reducing dietary fat. You shouldn't have a calorie target because you're carrying around tens of thousands of calories of potential energy that you'd like to get rid of. So long as you are eating enough nutrients (adding organs in if you're not eating them) and essential fats (the yolk suggestions are good), calories should be the last thing on your mind. When you finally get to the bodyfat level that you desire, just switch to more fat.
If you're concerned about getting too much protein at once, you could split up the lean steaks and eat 1/3 to 1/2 pound per meal instead of huge steaks at once.
This may not be what you want to hear, but this will be far more effective than what you're currently doing.
Answer by James 3 8406 · Nov 03 '11 at 10:42 PM
Boost fats then (avocados, heavy creams, butter is what I go into). You can play around with more carbs, but for most people, that ends up counterproductive.
If you're hungry after a large meal, you need to define what you mean by "large meal". Could be it's not as large as you think it is, could be you need to eat more.
Incidentally, for me for breakfast: 3 eggs + avocado + 2-3 slices of deli turkey, cooked in butter. Keeps me pretty full most of the day. Caloriewise = roughly 270+240+(90 to 135) = 600 to 645 calories (not counting the butter, so a smidgeon more). I consider that a large meal for me. Others here think it's small.
Answer by Dragonfly 32775 · Nov 03 '11 at 10:45 PM
Try replacing some of the meat with eggs, if you tolerate them.
I generally eat one egg meal & one meat meal for around 1600-1700 calories (my maintenance.)
Answer by Nance 197 · Nov 04 '11 at 01:18 AM
If you don't want to eat large portions what is the barrier to eating smaller ones? You seem to have exquisitely detailed knowledge of the nutrient breakdowns, so what is stopping you from adjusting them as desired?
I usually start by planning as many calories of protein as desired then add additional fats if needed based on how I'm getting the protein. Carbs are so easily measured that they're kind of a snap and you just need to decide what totals you want and what you like.
Being hungry soon after the meal could be extremely high activity driving appetite or there could be something missing or it could be cravings vs. hunger. Very hard to know even with the info you shared.
Okay, I have to say this but at 5'3" a weight of 105 seems pretty nice if you're in shape aka muscular. Could even be as low as your body wants to go. I know we never love our own body, but is it possible you're just hungry?
Otherwise, you might seek trained help on the possibility of taking HCL (hydrochloric acid) which I did because of MY grumbling tummy. I felt much better almost immediately and my energy level shot up so I think food absorption may have improved. My stomach definitely takes less time to do the job and settle down after meals.Answer by sage_ 10570 · Nov 04 '11 at 09:37 AM
if your hunger goes away after an hour or two consistantly and you feel satiated in general after the initial hunger wanes, you may need to do nothing but ignore it. i have the same issue with feeling hunger, but i no longer view it as a need for fuel.
i think more than a few of us experience this. oddly i am also in the "needs to loose some body fat, but not considered over weight" category.
Answer by lolo 51 · Nov 03 '11 at 11:37 PM
1) reducing dietary fat is retarded. eat fat, burn fat, never be hungry
2) eating lean anything is retarded. eat fat, burn fat, never be hungry
3) avoid, nuts, any kind of oil,any kind of coconut bs. use butter instead
A) eat one BIG meal a day, 1 hr after waking up. water the rest of the day. go to sleep on an empty stomach ( hungry? then you did something wrong.next time eat more)
B)eat 5 to 6 yolks ( omelet) + some fatty steak. drink water.
C) Before your meal, eat 50 / 60gr ( more if you are active) of easy digestible carbs ( milk, sucrose, juice) avoid potatoes and rice. Favor the fructose / glucose combo instead. then eat your meal ( yolks and steak)
Answer by soahc 164 · Nov 04 '11 at 06:29 AM
Just eat the sweet potatoes. They are super high in nutrients and will help you lose weight. Trust me. Try them for a few weeks.
Answer by cliff 1 13597 · Nov 04 '11 at 12:38 PM
You have a Bmi of 18.6, whats the goal in restricting yourself so hardcore? Eat some freakin carbs and live your life, you'll lose the miniscule amount of weight you need to eventually.
your vlc and you IF..... at a bmi of 18.6 how much could you need to lose? just eat some carbs hey aren't going to sabotage you.
Answer by animalcule 8138 · Nov 04 '11 at 04:20 PM
You're that hungry cause you're skinny and eating low carb. Many of us have insatiable hunger while attempting this.
At such a low weight and since you're probably in good shape already (some muscle even though you're so small), it's very possible you could fool with your macros for years and not see any changes in your body comp. I have a BMI of 16-17 and I have persistent fat deposits that are hormonal and genetic; I've eaten all sorts of diets (high-carb vegetarian, high-carb high-fat SAD, high-protein VLC paleo) in the past few years and it's never changed my body fat % or weight distribution. If you carry fat in your hips as a woman, it's going to stay there unless you change your hormonal status by starvation or steroid injections. Or, you lipo it out, but then you might get a fat stomach. Those women with tight butts were born to be like that, it's nothing they do or eat.
If I were you I'd give up on this zero carb nonsense, eat enough potatoes to fuel your workouts and lift weights. You're perfectly slim already so perhaps to look more defined you need to build up your muscles a bit. Lifting also helps reduce body fat for many.
What do you do for exercise currently? If you're running or doing lots of other cardio, I'd stop that - it absolutely contributes to the 'skinny fat' problem for a ton of women.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- Do you value safety over privacy?
It is a question to consider the next time you catch a public bus. The Bay Area Transportation Authority (BATA) is now using a surveillance system that allows officials to watch and listen to what is happening out on the road. And it is a practice that is becoming more and more common in northern Michigan.
Director Tom Menzel tells 7&4 News BATA has installed six cameras on all 74 buses in their fleet.
Menzel said the surveillance equipment allows him to monitor employee conduct. He also points out that it helps protect BATA from false accusations.
"Public transit is a target for liability claims. We've had a number of cases where police have come in and looked at our tapes and got a good, clear understanding of what actually took place. So what happens is, when people want to sue you, they see the video and an attorney will say there is no case here," Menzel said.
BATA used federal grant money to pay for the surveillance project. The total cost was close to $207,000.

Rumour – Avatar Kinect to launch next week in wake of system update
WinRumors is claiming its usual Microsoft insider sources for a July 27 release for Avatar Kinect.
The suite of chat tools uses Kinect to animate users' avatars. It integrates with existing Live features to form party chats and make and upload videos.
Adding fuel to speculation is Major Nelson's announcement of Tuesday's mysterious Xbox 360 system patch, which will add no new features. Instead, it "is preparation for additional system enhancements coming to Xbox 360 later this year."

7 Ways to Use Your iPad at Your Gatherings
I've never been as impressed with my iPad as I was this past weekend. I had two major gatherings that I was the point person on:
1) Our weekly worship gathering, and
2) A missions team meeting.
My iPad was able to control the entire programmatic elements of each night. It was hot. Here's how I used it.
- Speaking/Notes: This is the 'of course' application of the iPad. I use GoodReader exclusively for preaching/teaching/meeting outlines.
- Music: Using the Remote app I was able to wirelessly control my entire iTunes library through our sound system. Easy peasy.
- ProPresenter: We use ProPresenter 5 as our worship presentation software of choice. The iPhone/iPad app for ProPresenter is incredible. The app's UI makes it clear to see and wirelessly control the media line-up of the night (worship lyrics, videos, presentations, announcements, etc.).
- Keynote: Using the Keynote remote I was able to wirelessly change slides and view my presenter notes while I was speaking.
- Remote Mouse: During our missions meeting I needed to navigate around the web. Instead of doing it from the back of the room, I downloaded an app called Remote mouse which turned my iPad into a wireless trackpad and keyboard for the computer at the back of the room. Worked flawlessly.
- Games: You can wirelessly connect the iPad (version 2 and the new iPad) to your projector through an Apple TV. For crowdbreakers and downtime we had people playing some Temple Run/Angry Birds/Fruit Ninja. If you were at SYMC this year you would have saw the game "Facebook Hack" running on this system. Super fun.
- Gathering Info: If you're familiar with this blog your are probably tired of hearing about Wufoo. We've created an online form to gather new student's info (see here). By adding this webpage to the homescreen for quick reference, our welcome team goes around on the iPad/iPhone and gathers info (students get a $1 to our cafe if they give us their info). Based on grade and gender, the appropriate small group leader is emailed the new student's info for follow up.
Here's my suggestion for using multiple apps at a gathering:
- Shutdown all apps that aren't needed. It just causes confusion.
- Don't use the four finger swipe gesture to switch between apps. I love doing this between 2-3 apps. However, if you are running more than 3 apps I would double-tap the home button or use the four finger swipe up to bring up all open apps. I find it easier to navigate.

A MUM who sent her three-year-old son named "Jihad" to nursery school wearing a top bearing the words "I am a bomb" is to go on trial in France.
Beneath the boys name on the back of the jumper were the words "Born on the 11 September" - the date of the 9/11 terror attacks on New Yorks twin towers.
The muslim mum was reported to police by the boys outraged teacher and has now been charged with supporting a terrorist act.


text:
Very little information has been released about the boy.
Police and school officials have said the child is 6, but a state representative in close contact with the family said he is 5 and will turn 6 in two weeks.
One thing is for certain: the kindergartner didn't know Dykes, State Rep. Steve Clouse said.
Through a 60-foot-long PVC pipe that extends into the bunker, authorities have pleaded with the suspect to let the boy go -- to no avail.
The man agreed to let police send down coloring books, crayons and the prescription medicine the little boy desperately needs for Asperger's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
But nothing else has changed.
As the standoff dragged into Thursday, the boy's parents were doing their best to hold it together.
They were "holding on by a thread," Clouse said.
The scene
On Thursday, dozens of law enforcement vehicles clogged the dead-end dirt road that leads to Dykes' house. They were from local police, the FBI, even the federal Homeland Security department.
Authorities evacuated neighbors. Officials closed schools in three nearby districts for the week.
With little movement, police have been reluctant to share much with the media.
Authorities called off a planned news conference late Wednesday night, saying there was nothing new to report. Early Thursday morning, Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson gave reporters a similar message, but said officers and volunteers trying to resolve the situation were holding up well.
Late Thursday night, Olson addressed reporters again. And again, the information he provided was limited, even as he repeatedly thanked the gathered media for their efforts and patience.
"Negotiators continue to communicate with the suspect," Olson said, "and there's no reason to believe the child has been harmed."
A reporter asked what the community could do to help.
"Pray," the sheriff said.

Plush by STP GS on Pro Drums. Yeah, not a very difficult song, I feel I've had much better pro drum performances than that, but at least it's better than Charlene which is what it was a while back
I also wish they weighted pro guitar/bass more highly somehow.
The Cars - All Mixed Up pro drums FC
pretty happy with that, since i love that song. and because it replaced "suds in the bucket" which was up there for a long time and really annoying me.
"Lasso" - Phoenix Guitar/Gold Stars. Not sure why.
Tiger Uppercut: Platinum Artist | Expert: G/B | Hard: D/V
Song Count: 831 | Newest: "Great Balls of Fire" & "Dog Days Are Over"
Mines changed a lot, but at the moment it's lump by PotUSoA. expert drums FC
I wonder how they pick our signature performance? cuz it sure isn't my highest scoring FC.
RB: 1, 2, 3, Lego, GD Own:RB 1 drum kit,guitar,3 mics.
Expert: Drums, 90-100%; Vocals, 98-100%; Guitar. 80-100%; Bass, 90-100%
PSN: Thunder-H4WKtron
My signature performance seems to change every couple of weeks. Strange thing is that it sometimes goes back to something it was previously, even if I hadn't played the song in the interrim. I guess maybe someone beat my high score on the song(s) that took its place?
Anyway, mine is currently "Scar Tissue" on Expert Vocals.
"Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight"
- Bruce ****burn
The Middle expert pro drums from JEW. Its been that way since RB3 came out. It changes every now and then, but it always goes back to The Middle even though I havent played it in a looooong time.
Mine is 'Teeth, Face, Outerspace' by the Main Drag.
As far as I recall, the Signature Performance is based on:
- Highest Rated Instrument
- Highest Ranked Score
- Difficulty Level Chosen when Playing
- Difficulty Level of Song(Tier)
- Star Count?
It's been awhile and I forget the exact formula now. I have a handful of 1st place scores on songs in the first 4 tiers. 2nd place on a Challenging tiered song, 2nd place on a Nightmare tiered song, and best is 14th for the Impossible tier(All GS FC's). Teeth, Face, Outerspace is Nightmare level so I think that is why it is my top performance despite my 1st place songs at lower difficulty levels. I am not sure where the ranking cut-off would be before they start looking at the next tier difficulty level though.
@ThunderHawx - I did a quick peek at your scores. Lump is Nightmare tier and you are placed 1st whereas your top rank for Impossible tier is 24th(still very nice).
Lastly @MPPMike. You mentioned yours changed. You have 4 first place scores at the same tier. Not sure if it switching between those songs. You are second on Llama though and it didn't choose that one which is an Impossible tiered one. I guess my formula might be useless.

It used to be "Urgent" by Foreigner on expert drums. I was ashamed because that is such an easy song, so I started playing guitar a lot more. Now it's "Australia" by The Shins on expert guitar, gold stars. Still a pretty easy song, but it's one of my favorites. I love The Shins, so I'm really glad about that.
So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, good night.
Currently: Llama on expert vocals. I'm tied for #1 on the leaderboard with about 400 other people. I generally don't bother to sit there and focus really hard on optimal paths, but this one is very easy to figure out.
Before that, for a long time: Everlong on expert bass. FC, something like #60 on the leaderboard.
Before that, for I don't know how long: Knight on the Town on expert vocals. I had the #1 solo vocals spot for a while, but now I am merely #3.

Nintendo: "No plans to release a Skype application for DS or DSi"
A Nintendo representative has told CVG that the company has "no plans to release a Skype application for DS or DSi".
Skype is already available on PSP, iPhone and iPod Touch via its VoIP application, leading some to suspect it would only be a matter of time before Nintendo got in on the trend.
Further adding to the speculation, a Skype rep stated previously that a release on DSi could be possible.
"Whilst we can't comment on any future plans to bring Skype to Nintendo's DSi, it would technically be possible," the spokesperson said, explaining the company's policy of "extending the Skype infrastructure and platform to bring Skype functionality wherever, whenever, and on whatever device or site people choose to use it."
But, Nintendo says no dice. End of story.
