One Meal A Day Reddit
So, I was browsing around and trying to find more articles and other methods of Intermittent Fasting, and I discovered a lovely community on the website Reddit. They are the One Meal A Day Reddit.
The community has existed for around 2 years now and exists specifically as a place for people to talk about a one meal a day approach to Reddit. If they're following typical Intermittent Fasting protocol – this means that they'll probably be fasting for around 24 hours a day, every day.
Then, to add to the extremeness, they will try and fit all their necessary calories into one meal.
I hope I don't sound judgmental, because I'm not. Not at all. I'm impressed and awed at the fortitude to fast for 24 hours, and the ingenuity to fit all their daily caloric needs into a single meal.
I'm sure after that meal they are pretty puckered out after the meal, but before then?
It's just interesting.
Anyway, I decided to do a deep dive into the method so that I might be able to help some of my readers who want to take a similar 24 hour approach (although I recommend checking out the Reddit yourself as well).
"What OMAD does NOT mean – 1.) Healthy food choices only. 2.) You can tell other OMADers what they should or should not eat."
Following this message pinned as their most recent PSA, it seems that the one meal a day Reddit, henceforth referred to as "Omad"in this article, allows people to eat junk food during their one meal, and looks down on others that would try to shame such people.
I'm all for this, and even mentioned in my diet plan that I do indulge myself with Pop-tarts here and there, but the main caveat is that it needs to fit into your daily nutritional requirements. If you're doing intermittent fasting on a 16/8 schedule, or a 24 hour fast, or whatever method you pick – at the end of the day, if you're going over your caloric needs, you're going to be putting on pounds. Sometimes that's the goal, for example, when bulking.
But if you're trying to lose weight, you better keep that in mind. People like to argue about how much your diet makeup matters – 100 calories of lettuce vs 100 calories of candy. But no one is arguing that you can eat more calories than you need and lose weight. And if you're taking issue with me eating Pop-tarts, make sure you check out my results before hating.
So already I'm liking this community. The fact that they are open to being flexible with nutrition is encouraging and, in my opinion, important. A lot of people snap back to their old diets when they make too many changes to their current ones. Cleaning up a little bit is one thing, but cleaning up into plainer natural foods, and working with a new eating schedule? Some people will adjust easier than others.
Here are some results from one of the top posts on the one meal a day reddit. The user's username was bobbytouchey88.
"I have two pics in my profile you can check.. one is a home meal, other is a work on the go meal. I try to aim for 2k cals so I average 1800-2200. Home meals are (in order) veggies , oils, meats, nuts, cheese. Work meals are pretty much just meats and a pack of nuts."
Note how he's keeping track of his calories. And, for those of you messaging me about your busy schedules…
"Work 50-60hrs a week on my feet. [..]This is my first great success and I definitly attribute it solely to OMADs/fasting affect on hormones and other benefits. Nothing else changed."
One Meal A Day (OMAD) – 24 HR Intermittent Fasting
Now, I'm not going to say that because this guy did it, anyone else can do it. I don't know your personal situations. But I do know that anyone else can draw inspiration from the success of others, male or female.
So enjoy! I think it's good to keep track of the way other people utilize similar methods. If we're all on intermittent fasting, we might as well see what sort of variations people are finding the most success with. Then we can try it out and see what our bodies mesh the best with.

AH! Okay, I think I have caught my breath enough now to finally sit back down and get a post out (thank you for being patient!). I promise to have a few recipe blog posts soon, though cooking at the new apartment has been slow with all the celebrations and traveling and visiting family (with a sprinkle of wedding dress shopping on top! EEK!), I can at least talk about Israel and share some of the photos! But let me start off by saying, WHAT. A. TRIP! Holy smokes! Not to mention how great it was to see Gaya! 8 years…that was the last time we saw each other, and honestly, the video Ram (her now husband) took of our reunion, which was a complete surprise to her, captures just how long overdue this reunion was.
Also, yes, that was Ram laughing in the background because we were told we weren't allowed to hug in that spot…but whatever, I was there! ACTUALLY THERE! And what a wedding! We spent all of Wednesday getting the venue all decked out and ready for the following BIG day. The wedding was going to take place in Ram's parents BEAUTIFUL and spacious backyard, which Gaya's family & friends all pitched in to cultivate the space into this grove of sunflowers and orange trees, and it all felt totally like a vineyard or part of an estate, rather than a backyard. I mean, the guest list was over 300 people, and everyone fit comfortably, just to give you an idea of how big a space it was! And the way we all pitched in to decorate it? Honestly, this couldn't have been more beautiful! And frankly, I think the funniest, but smartest thing that happened that night were the headphones everyone got at around…11 or midnight (honestly, I lost all track of time because I was having so much fun celebrating Gaya's marriage and getting to catch up Gaya's family, some of her family friends that I had met in Hong Kong ages ago, and another one of my close friends from high school, Tal)!! But these headphones, basically, think sound canceling headphones for newborns at sports games or major holidays that involve lots of fireworks. Everyone got a pair, put them on, and kept right on dancing because the music that the DJ was playing was coming through on the headphones! So you're all dancing to the same music, but all the neighbors hear is the soft thumping of feet on the dance floor! INSANE!
I definitely teared up and cried a handful of times! Oh, and let me just touch on the food, which unfortunately I have ZERO photos of, but let me break it down just a little. Buffet Style, two ends that meet in the middle where all the meat was, and four smoking stacks in the back that cook said meat. There are five or six different salads (that included vegetables like celery root, carrots, celery, kohlrabi, chick peas, cucumbers, and a ton of herbs, most of which I helped slice, wash, peel, and cut for most of the day before, which also left my fingers with a slightly orange tinge to them), so many roasted vegetables (onions, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes), bread (baked and grilled pita, white bread to sop up the sauces, rolls), and then there was the meat (ribs, steak, lamb). And by the time you emerged from the line, you had this plate that was completely covered and would not require a second round. By then, I was starving, so naturally my initial thought to take a photo of it, which wouldn't have come out even if I tried, just never materialized, BUT no doubt I can steal a photo of the food from Gaya once she gets all the photographs from her photographer. (GAYA SEND ME PHOTOS!) And then there was also dessert, but I was, then, so stuffed that I couldn't have fit dessert into my belly even if I had tried, and missed it all together. BUT we made up for it on Saturday when Gaya & Ram took me out and about in Jaffa for a one-day food tour, since we needed Friday to clean up pretty much all of the wedding and just rest!
Jaffa: the southern and oldest part of Tel-Aviv, and is also an ancient port city in Israel. We stuck around the beach to start, then headed down into the area to walk around the port itself! But naturally, we started the food tour with the best, THE BEST, hummus in the world at Haj Kahil. Gaya & Ram did most of the ordering, but everything was so tasty and delicious! I'm including a comment with all the images to show what we ordered below, but honestly, it was absolutely the best hummus I have ever had in my life! Creamy, almost buttery even, rich and smooth! *drool* You just can't find anything quite like it here in America, not to mention that their olive oil that's drizzled on top is absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! It's got a depth of flavor that you have to really hunt for in your every day grocery store in America, you know? And the ful (a fava bean puree) that went with one of the hummus plates we ordered added an earthy, slightly salty layer of flavor, and this really light texture to the creamy hummus!
OKAY! So that was everything that we ordered, but let me just say! Those falafels? UNBELIEVABLE! They were actually soft and moist in the middle, while still holding that solid crunch on the outside! UNREAL! I don't think I've EVER had such yummy, perfect falafels in my life, since most of the ones I've tried have been super dry on the inside. The secret? TWICE QUICK FRIED! That's right! They double fry these bad boys very quickly, which allows the oil to first cook them, but stay trapped inside these delicious little suckers without drying them out when they go in for the exterior crisping factor. YUM YUM!
So then, afterwards, it was on to the dessert that I didn't get to experience at the wedding: KNAFEH (kin-ah-fey)! Knafeh is a Middle Eastern cheese pastry that is soaked in sweet, sugar-based syrup, and topped with kadaif (kah-deef) which are thin noodles made of flour and water that is poured through a sieve onto a hot cooking tray. They look like hairs OR for some deserts in the Middle East, they are made to look like a birds nest! You can find these noodles in some baklava too!
So after filling our second stomachs with some much needed dessert, it was off on a walking tour along the streets of Jaffa (where we got to see a lot of the cool graffiti that is painted on a lot of the walls around the city, the beach (where a sand castle competition had been held the day before), and to the Jaffa port to view a few art installations, an arts pop up craft store (where I purchased a few knick knacks and hand printed cards), and some of the stalls around the port! Even for just a day we were able to see so much which was an absolute delight! Obvious this was only the tip of the iceberg, but still a good chunk for only having one day to see what I could before heading back to Chicago!
And to top off this incredible trip, we made sure to meet up with Tal for dinner in downtown Tel Aviv at a burger joint called Susu & Sons, and boy oh boy were those burgers something to write home about! I got a double cheeseburger with bacon (yes, I said bacon) and guacamole with a side of onion rings! At first I was only going to get a single patty, but Tal said I had better go big or go home, so I went big and got the double! I knew I wasn't going to finish it all, which was totally fine, but it was such a good burger! The bun was solid enough to hold all the fillings, but soft enough to not overpower the burger itself. The meat was so juicy, but not fall apart juicy, and the guacamole was rich and creamy, which is how I like my guac, and how can I forget the bacon? Perfect crisp, as it should be! And those onion rings were so yummy! The batter was soft, and not too oily, and the onions were soft and not so cooked that they were mushy and weren't able to bite through. NOM!!
It's been about a month since this trip, and some days I'm still trying to process the experience and the memories, making sure to remember all the finite details as best I can, but what I still can't fully wrap my head around is how much fun I had and how incredibly unique and vivacious Tel Aviv was, how much more there will be to see when I go back again, which I have ever intention of doing. And even though this trip was more about seeing Gaya than seeing Tel Aviv, I know I got to see some incredibly beautiful parts while I was there and couldn't have imagined a more memorable trip! Until next time Israel!

No one really knows how many dogs and cats are in the United States, but there's plenty of debate about whether or not this country suffers from pet overpopulation.
Some argue it's a distribution problem. Shelters say we're still killing adoptable animals.
As the article suggests, there's considerable debate about whether a pet overpopulation problem still exists in the U.S.
Some believe the problem isn't that there are too many adoptable companion animals, but that some areas of the country have too many while other areas don't have enough to meet local demand. They also point to overburdened shelters – fallout from a flagging economy – as presenting a temporary situation that is skewing the numbers higher.
On the other side of the argument are those who believe that while the numbers of unwanted dogs and cats have improved dramatically, adoptable animals are still dying in shelters – a clear indication the overpopulation problem still exists.
These people see a number of problems contributing to overpopulation, including:
Unfortunately, shelters aren't required to keep statistics, so it's impossible to accurately assess the size of the problem.
The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) estimates six to eight million dogs and cats are relinquished to shelters each year, and three to four million are euthanized.
Communities that have implemented and maintained effective spay/neuter and other animal control programs have reduced or eliminated their pet overpopulation problems.
But because they have relatively small populations of adoptable animals and not much variety, they lack supply to meet the demands of local residents looking to add a pet to their family – especially a dog. So prospective pet owners look elsewhere for the particular breed or size dog they want.
This is one of the reasons international importations, irresponsible breeders and puppy mills stay in business.
Another reason is because they can answer the specific demands of different areas of the country. For example, adoptable Chihuahuas can be found in abundance in several Western states, but not in New York where living spaces and lifestyles make small dogs in great demand.
Well run, well funded shelters can also inadvertently add to the problem of too little supply to meet demand.
Shelters with on-site hospitals and animal behavior specialists have higher adoption rates than shelters with fewer resources, because they are able to work more extensively with animals with health or behavior issues to make them adoptable.
There are many more crowded shelters than there are shelters looking for animals to take in, so partnerships among shelters are crucial for successful movement of pets from over to under-populated areas.
Networking over the internet has proved tremendously helpful in encouraging shelter partnerships. When shelters have a variety of animals available, adoption rates are high. Partnerships among shelters facilitate not only the transport of adoptable pets, but also the right mix of animals to optimize adoption rates.
Many successful transport programs exist and more are being developed, however, there are a number of problems associated with moving shelter animals. Disease is the biggest concern, especially when animals are moved due to natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina.
A rise in the number of no-kill shelters has resulted in instances of severe overcrowding and substandard care. Sick dogs and cats transported from overwhelmed no-kill shelters pose health risks to animals in receiving shelters.
Absorption of imported pets into U.S. shelters poses its own set of risks, as dogs and cats from foreign countries may be harboring diseases that have been stamped out here.
Another concern is the stress pets undergo during transport.
The involvement of the veterinary community is critical to the success of shelter-to-shelter transport programs. Vets can reduce and prevent outbreaks of disease resulting from the transfer and introduction of sick animals to healthy shelter populations.
Veterinarians can also help in the decision making process for which animals are adoptable and which are not.
Toward that end, the Association of Shelter Veterinarians is developing a guide to help shelters answer the question of what constitutes an adoptable pet. The guide will also include standards of care in shelters and a discussion of shelter pet transport programs.

Date Night and Sweet Pea
September 28, 2011
Josh and I,and my sis and Chris had a great date night last Friday night. I don't know the last time (if ever) we've gone out just the 4 of us. (The tricky part is that we share these awesome babysitters….)
I didn't take a single pic, but Kate documented some of it. Check it out on her blog here (she's way funnier than me). And stay through the video. It's proof we need a little sweet pea around here. The boys are ECSTATIC to have a sister-Eisley has been great practice!
**I'd like to apologize to Eisley for my earlier spelling of sweet. I did not intentionally mean to call you sweaty. Not sure what's wrong with me these days. Oh yes….I know.

It's Apple Pickin Time!
September 23, 2011
Actually we didn't pick a single apple. They were beautiful hanging all golden and ripe on the trees……but we did other stuff. If you live in the area, have you DONE Center Grove Orchard yet? I've been hearing about this place for a couple of years, and either someone was too little, there was never a good time to go, etc, etc.
But today was the day.
The boys didn't have school, Josh was off, and the weather was gorgeous.
Poor Liam and his little crippled legs.
Only Gavin was a little distressed about being in school.
This guy gave us the stare down with his creepy yellow eyes. I was just waiting for him to jump on us.
Our plan next time we go is to conquer the 4 acre(!) corn maze. Josh and I really wanted to do it, but preggo was FEELIN IT at the end of 3 hours. All that fun wears a girl out.
Soccer Star
September 19, 2011
Liam started Upward Bound soccer a few weeks ago and LOVES it. His team is made up of 4 and 5 year olds and I don't think any of them have played on a team before. It's quite hilarious. Josh gets the privilege of coaching and it consists solely of saying, "Ok, which goal is ours? Which way do we kick the ball?" It's absolutely adorable (the kids, not Josh, although he's pretty cute too).
This little girl thought it would be a good idea if everyone held hands all the time. Obviously Liam is too cool for that.
The score of the first game was 7-0, in favor of the other team.
This past Saturday the score was 5-5. I'd say they're improving!!
September 14, 2011
Gavin has recently been coming home from school talking about Joe. You have to know Gav and his communication, you can't always get much out of him when you press him for more information. All I know is that there's a boy he plays at recess with named Joe. Ok.
Today, when I dropped him off at school, one of the moms (who is also an aid at the school) stopped me in the hall and told me that her son Joe and Gavin have become very good buds this year. (This is a VERY sweet woman who is always so energetic and happy to see Gavin at school and he always smiles hugely when he sees her). I had no idea she had a son Gav's age. She went so far as to make sure Gavin knew he was invited over for a playdate sometime soon. Yay!!
SO this afternoon, I pick him up early from school so we can go to ChildServe, and the rest of the first graders were walking in from recess. A cutie little guy with freckles approaches me and introduces himself as Joe. He then proceeds to tell me that Gavin is his new best friend and he really, really, really wants him to come over for a playdate as soon as it's a day off from school or when he doesn't have soccer.
Poor Joe. I think I scared him a little because I started to tear up right there in the hallway. For a boy who has communication and social issues, having a best bud and being invited over to someone's house is a HUGE thing in the life of a kid with autism. I pray that this friendship continues and that Gavin will truly feel the connection of a friend.
September 8, 2011
Liam FINALLY started preschool today. (I say finally not because I was so ready to have him gone in the afternoons, but finally because this boy has been waiting to go to school for the last 2 years). It didn't help that Gav's been in school for over 2 weeks already. September 8th just couldn't get here fast enough.
Liam was beyond excited and I'm so glad. He's usually a lot of talk, but then he gets pretty shy in new social situations. Not this time! He marched right into the building and down the hall to his class. This is one kid I'm not at all worried about-he's going to LOVE being at school.
Liam had a very long explanation why he didn't want to take this picture with his backpack on. If you know him at all, you know he's the KING of long explanations and bunny trails which I usually can't follow.
He found his locker, hung his stuff right up, and headed off into class (he even remembered to hug and kiss me before saying goodbye!)
In other news, we went to a new parent meet and greet this morning and Josh ran into another mom there who used to wait tables with him 15 YEARS ago in OMAHA. How weird is that?? (And if you know my husband at all, you know that everywhere we go we run into someone he knows…..just not usually from another state……that long ago).
In other, other news…..a HUGE FAIL for me in the school supplies department for preschool. I spent upwards of $50. I should have gone with the whole write the check to school thing for $35. The teacher looked at me so funny when I brought 2 gigantic bags of supplies in last week. Apparently NO ONE buys school supplies. Now I know why. You live and learn I guess!

Neuropsychology Services
Program & Goals
The Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation offers comprehensive rehabilitation psychology and neuropsychological services to help patients and families cope with the unpredictable and sometimes unchangeable aspects of chronic illness and disability.
Integrated Care Model
Rehabilitation psychologists/neuropsychologists are part of the team of rehabilitation professionals. Services and educational materials are available to patients and families at the UNC Health Care Rehabilitation Center, the UNC PM&R Outpatient Clinic and through our community outreach programs.
Rehabilitation Psychology
Rehabilitation psychologists provide care for individuals across the lifespan, including individuals with chronic illness or injuries resulting in physical or cognitive disabilities. The psychology team routinely assists patients with amputations, spinal cord injuries (SCI), traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and medical illness such as stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic pain conditions.
The Rehabilitation Psychology Program provides the following:
- Comprehensive psychological evaluation with standardized testing
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression, anxiety (including PTSD) and stress management
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain management and medical illness
- Brief interventions for improving readiness for medical or surgical treatments
- Relapse prevention treatment for addictions
- Guided imagery and relaxation training
- Patient and family education
Rehabilitation Neuropsychology
Neuropsychologists are specialists in helping patients, families and other health care providers understand how injury, illness and aging can cause changes in an individual's thinking, memory, judgment, emotional functioning and behavior. The neuropsychologist works with people who have had strokes, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors or other insults or injuries to their brain. Because many other kinds of illnesses also can affect brain functioning, many people referred for services may have histories of neurological disease, epilepsy, autoimmune disease, dementia or other chronic health issues. The neuropsychologist also assists individuals with histories of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, learning disabilities or psychiatric issues.
The Rehabilitation Neuropsychology Program provides the following:
- Cognitive screenings using standardized tests to identify the need for further evaluation or treatment
- Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations to measure learning, memory, language, visuospatial abilities, higher order cognitive abilities, fine motor skills, perception, mood, personality and adaptive functioning
- Baseline assessments and repeat testing to measure improvement or decline over time
- Rehabilitation treatment planning
- Patient and family education
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy to help patients and caregivers cope with changes in cognition, emotions or behavior resulting from injuries or illnesses that affect brain functioning
- Forensic consultation
- Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs)

I'm the cat mama who writes reviews for youtube videos her cat watches. Unfollow me now if you must.
For blog friends (and cat lovers) still with us, I thought I'd give you a little peek as to how Ollie reacted to the fish tank video.
Ha, I just realized that I sound as if I'm trying to teach a child colors. "Point out the orange fishie!" "That one looks like you!" I need to join a cat lady therapy group. Obvs.
After about 3 minutes and being more interested in me videotaping him, Ollie assumed this position. And done. He had absolutely no interest in the bird or squirrel videos.
Have you played videos for your cats? Did they seem interested?

Edible French Garden by Rosalind Creasy
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Like the other books in Creasy's Edible Garden series, this is a combination cookbook and gardening book. I think of this as a good way to whet one's appetite, but it's not a comprehensive reference—except perhaps on how to grow blanched vegetables like Belgian endive and white asparagus. After reading her instructions, I've decided that blanching in the gardening sense is not something I plan on trying anytime in the near future. Reading this book did get me interested in learning more about potagers, however, which strike me as having the potential to be both remarkably decorative and appetizing.
The varieties highlighted include French ones and American varieties that are similar to French types. I found at least a few of the recipes to be somewhat interesting, though, and will probably try making some. The braised endives and cherville buttered carrots come to mind. Most of the recipes are fairly simple and suitable for novice cooks. If you're looking for more elaborate dishes, you're better off going with a real cookbook.
The resource list is one of the best parts, in my opinion, since finding less common French varieties can be difficult. Likewise, I'll be looking into many of the volumes she mentions in her bibliography. I also have to say that the photography is wonderful, and it's worth at least flipping through just for the pictures.
I've decided that I want to read the other books in this series, but I know that I'll be sifting for nuggets rather than considering them regular references.

My project was submitted on last week, but it was not added to the site, nor have I received any notification of approval or denial. How can I assure that it is being considered by the technical panel? Please contact me.

I'm writing in behalf of News Doceos. I would like to inform all the people that voted for News Doceos that the Startup 2.0 organization seems not to be as efficient as it should be, and the reason why we are not going to Madrid.
As of May 5th, which was the closing date for the voting, we had 135 votes. We do not know why we now have 137, perhaps the voting system was not closed on time. Anyhow on May 5th, we were among the five most voted sites. What a disappointment, then, when we realised that we were not selected.
We respectfully addressed the organization, trying to get a clarification of the rules, but they have given us no sufficient answer, they only said "really?" "That's odd, but the decision has already been taken, and the system says that you are not selected, anyhow we will look at it"
Today, on May 8th we still have no official answer. We are shocked because people like Varsavsky, Raftery and Dans , among others, have allowed their names to be used for an interesting contest, which seems not to have been managed as well as we think it should have been. We are also disappointed because our team has worked very hard on the project and we are proud of what we created, since we are small and we were at the point of presenting our project to an international jury. The contest was a way to prove that we were doing things the right way and was a moral boost to keep going.
We take the liberty of advising the jury and to the enterprises that collaborate with it to be carefull; all of you should look very closely the organization's processes.
To all projects selected, our congratulations.
for people who wonder which the final 15 are, please look no farther than http://blog.profession-web.ch/index.php/238-la-selection-des-15-nomines-pour-le-concours-final-startup-20
Sorry. Most of the votes for Dooceos were cancelled as they were sent irregularly. The tool can see when votes are placed from the same IP number. This was against the rules of the contest.
To IrisAlerts. I am sorry, but your project was submitted when new submissions were already closed. Maybe next year.
It mentions that people can submit their project until the 5th may. it was too late if they were posted the 5th May ?
If you are accusing Doceos of cheating, I guess you can prove it. Anyhow we are still waiting for an official answer.
I don't accuse anybody.
It is just a fact with an open question.
This competition is a great disappointment and a waste of time. I don't mind if you waste your time but you should not waste the time of others.
We submitted http://www.actionize.com as a project. We organized some events where we presented our new product to prospects and asked them to vote for us (that is called campaigning). All these votes come from valid email addresses but also come from the same IP address. All votes from our office or from associates come from the same IP addresses as well. What is wrong with that? It is not fair to establish rules and only tell them to the participants when the process of voting is over, assuming (without telling) that they have cheated.
Not one of the so called experts has ever subscribed to our service to see what it is all about. Is this serious?
Sorry guys, but the only good thing about this competition is the idea of having a competition.
Here my rating about YOUR performance:
– WEBSITE: horrible (how is it possible to submit a project without a valid URL if the URL is compulsary, and that is just one example). And you guys are assesing our Web 2.0 work?
– RULES: ridiculous, better have no rules than hidden rules
– ORGANIZATION: terrible, no deadline for the end of voting, voting is still possible now, voting as such is too time consuming, registration and voting are not one workflow, but two separate processes
– COMMUNICATION: non-existent, we have to go to a blog of a swiss girl to see who are the 15 finalists. The least you could have done would have been to send an email to inform the participants about who was selected and why some where not (even when getting the most votes)
CONCLUSION: What a mess! I can just hope that you don't repeat that "competition" next year again.
We at YoYo Games (www.yoyogames.com) also feel treated badly. Our site got 192 votes, which would put us in second place. Still we are not on the selected page and nobody told us anything.
Mark Overmars
Excuse me… I am not a contestant but I have to comment on something.
"The tool can see when votes are placed from the same IP number. This was against the rules of the contest."
Unless you investigate the IPs one by one, your tool is a hugely unreliable test. Votes through a proxy may be different people and therefore legitimate votes. AOL is such a (huge) proxy. Companies, universities, governmental organisations all use proxies. So if your site focuses on such communities you will have votes from the same IP.
What is worse, such a rule also means that you can easily have a contestant disqualified.
If there are any conditions for voting then you should at least have informed contestants. I have so far been unable to find competition rules on this site.
To Mark. I am sorry you don't like it. We tried our best. I assume we can have made some mistakes during the process, but not all the ones you mention. We will try to learn something, though, and improve it for next time.
To Mark. Actionize was not among the 5 most voted projects. It was considered by the technical committee, though, but didn't make it in their selection. Anyway, it was considered as one of the most interesting projects and almost made it.
Your remarks are extremely negative. We do agree we should have communicated a little bit better. It was very hard, though, as there were almost 300 projects taking part in the contest.
To all those who complaint: You are all right. This is just a contest made by Enrique Dans and his friends to get money out of some sposors and place their friends in front of the media. Now Enrique Dans will go all around Spain talking about the web 2.0 and your ideas. That is the way he works. Pass the word

Fuhu came to ACME with big dreams of doing a three suites at CES, to introduce their Big Tablet and other products.
The Nabi Big Tab is a fully-featured large-size interactive touchscreen that kids and families can use for learning, entertainment and games.
The first suite was fitted to show invited guests to the Nabi Big tab. The room was lined with huge graphics, and six vignettes were built to give the feel of a modern home. Big Tabs were seamlessly integrated into to the office, game room and bedroom vignettes.
The second suite was built out for Amplicity, whose launch-product is a grab & go microcomputer. ACME built additional vignettes representing a gamer's room, coffee shop, and a city park. Over 2,000 square feet of vivid, high resolution graphics ringed the room. Two prototype privacy pods were built and tested, letting guests test Amplicity's computer in a coffee shop environment. ACME also integrated a cutting edge, interactive projector system into the entry space.
A prototype store-in-store was built into the third suite, with high-end merchandise counters, vivid backlit branding, and over 120 lineal feet of theme graphics. Fuhu was able to show big-box retailers what its store-in-store would actually look like.
In total, more than 10,000 sq. ft. of graphics were printed for the three suites.
ACME completed the whole project, three truckloads of material, from raw design to finished product, in 5 weeks.
Let ACME create your next branding experience.

text: In preparation for porting Trac from sqlite to MySQL, I would like a dump of the current DB for core.trac.wordpress.org. I will then run through the full conversion locally, document it, and script it for the eventual live transition. We'll probably want to move a smaller Trac first to work out any kinks, so a dump of either code.trac or unit-tests.trac would also be good.

The entry courtyard soothes the senses with a trickling channel of water surrounded by blooming flowers in a myriad of colors. The flowing water comes from captured rainwater. There is a sense of harmony and peace here. The courtyard leads to gardens, greenhouses and a small, extremely energy-efficient and beautiful home.
This is "SpiriTaos" – the home of Dan Jones in El Prado. The home was designed according to a vision that Jones had for sustainable living. When asked how he named the house SpiriTaos, he says the idea just came to him while hiking high in the mountains. He likes that when you say it quickly, it sounds like "spirit house." "Life in Taos is all about spirit," he says.
Outdoor spaces
Every part of the home and garden is connected to nature. From the entry courtyard, a path leads to an expansive garden in the back of the home that features hollyhocks and other flowers along with vegetables. The acre and a half of land is covered in sustainable beauty.
In the garden, a raised antique palette creates a special place for weddings celebrated by Jones through his business, Embracing Ceremony. The spot is framed by views of Taos Mountain; appropriately, an annual blue-and-white flower called "love in the mist" grows nearby. The purple Rocky Mountain bee plant climbs high over a wall and hollyhocks bloom near the tiny hummingbird bath. A centerpiece of the garden is a raised outdoor bathtub with views to the mountains. "For eight months, I use hot water from the solar panels on the house, but in the winter, I build a fire under the tub," says Jones.
The path around the home leads to an outside porch and an extensive greenhouse that features tomatoes, eggplants and peppers that have been growing since April in the protected space. The plants grow all year, warmed by the radiant floors. "It is important that the heat be in the soil; the roots benefit from the warmth," says Jones.
An attached cold frame holds cantaloupes and cucumbers that are ready to harvest. Outside, raspberry and currant bushes, along with an orchard of fruit trees, grow. A trial garden nearby allows him to try out new plants and see which ones thrive in low water conditions.
Jones is a professional landscape designer. The driving force behind his whole approach to design is to emulate Mother Nature. "She is my inspiration," he says. Working in harmony with nature influences his use of wood and rock and the positioning of all elements in the garden. He tries to choose plant materials that thrive with little additional water in our dry climate and looks for long-blooming flowers that will be successful here, using perennial plants that return year after year.
Jones offers his expertise to help others design their landscape in a sustainable way through his business, Beyond Wild Flowers. At his home and with his clients, he tries to buy plants locally.
Designing with nature
The house was completed in 2012 and Jones began the landscaping that fall. In five years, the garden has flourished. Jones is a vegetarian and grows most of his own food in the garden. He uses blue corn to make his own masa for cornbread and other dishes.
This is the only house that Jones has ever built and he hopes to live out his days here. He was born and raised on a fifth-generation farm in Connecticut and spent six years at Michigan State studying landscape horticulture. He lived in Denver, Colorado, for 30 years, where he managed a garden center and ran his own nature and garden gift shop. He came to Taos to help rebuild the garden of a casita. "I was here less than a month before I fell in love with Taos and bought land," he says.
The vision for his home was influenced by the small casita he lived in while rebuilding its garden. It was small, measuring only 650 square feet, and that inspired Jones to think about a small footprint for his house. He found designer Joaquin Karcher through a network of friends. Karcher suggested Ben van Willigen of BVW Builders as the contractor. The two had worked together in the past and remained friends. And after the SpiriTaos house construction, Jones also considers them both good friends.
Karcher of Zero E Design says that Jones wanted to live close to nature. Karcher recognized that Jones was a gifted landscape designer and worked to incorporate Jones' environmental knowledge and sensitivity into the project. He wanted a small, functional home with a zero carbon footprint. "This is the type of design I do," says Karcher.
He adds, "The house was designed around the floorplan – fromthe inside out. There were no preconceived ideas for how it would look from the outside. We did pay attention to the views, the location, the prevailing winds and patterns of the sunlight. Those factors always played in the back of my mind."
There is no wasted space in the house; every square foot was reviewed for efficiency. In addition to cutting out hallways, an effort was made to overlay spaces so that one area could serve more than one purpose. The ceilings are tall and the oversized windows make the house feel expansive. "This approach creates a house that feels much bigger than it really is," says Karcher.
After studying highly energy-efficient design in Germany, Karcher brought his knowledge to Taos, where he refined it to address the climate and available construction materials. He says, "With these approaches, it is possible to slash heating and cooling needs by 90 percent. We don't have to rely only on the Earthship design. We can live sustainably using regular materials in regular houses. We need to build on the environmental legacy of Taos."
SpiriTaos house
Inside the 980-square-foot home, the attention to energy efficiency and beauty is evident. The mud-plastered green walls are thick and 2 feet deep. The house is super insulated and heated by passive and active solar. The backup is the wood stove used for heating water that circulates in the radiant floor. The house is so airtight that he has to open a window to light the stove. "I didn't need to light the stove last winter until the second week of January and it never got below 70 degrees in the house, just relying on the solar energy," says Jones.
The living room is the heart of the house. In addition to a comfortable couch and chair, this is where books line the walls near Jones' spectacular desk. It is built from a curved piece of salvaged glass and sheltered by a large piece of selenite crystal – the mother of crystals – a gift from a friend. An aspen tree that had fallen adorns the wall, along with pieces of alpine spruce bark and old barn wood, giving the room the texture of outdoors.
The living room opens to an elegant kitchen with a center raised bar area; all of the surfaces are made of dark granite. The sink, cutting board and induction cook top are aligned for maximum efficiency. Facing east, the windows frame Taos Mountain and El Salto. The metal dining chairs are adorned with cut-out leaf patterns, which cast their shadows on the floor.
"With the big windows, I am very aware of the patterns of the moon and what the sun does. I love the sense of connection with the cycles of the day and the seasons. I can watch the aspens turn in the fall and observe the garden as it fades. Part of me wants to clean it up. But I just leave it to feed the birds with the seeds. The fallen plants help hold the snow, which makes interesting shapes, shadows and patterns on the fallen stalks. Again, here I attempt to emulate Mother Nature and let it be. By March, I'm ready to get out and clean it up and begin again.

1 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING A BUSINESS PLAN August 2012
2 Table of contents Introduction Executive Summary Business Summary Company Summary Management Summary Products and Services Products/services description Production Market Analysis Summary Industry background Market Analysis Demand point of view Supply point of view Legal framework SWOT Analysis Strategy and Implementation Summary Evaluating the value of your supply Setting the objectives Elaborating a strategy marketing mix Product Policy Price Policy Place Policy Promotion and Exploitation Policy Segmentation and positioning strategies Financial Plan Summary Assumptions Sales forecast Cashflow statements Profits and losses forecast Break-even analysis Seasonality Scenarios Risk analysis Exit Strategy Monitoring Acknowledgements
3 Introduction A business plan is a written document that describes a business, its objectives, its strategies, its market and its financial forecasts. It states business goals, argues why they are believed attainable and shows a plan to reach them. It is also a helpful tool to monitor the business performance to stay on track. Main advice: - ensure it is feasible, be realistic! - be flexible, remember it is a decision-making tool - take an objective and honest look at the business, avoid own judgements - ensure it is understandable for all the stakeholders, do not get lost in complicated reasoning - if it is helpful, see the business plan as a collection of sub-plans, one for each business discipline (e.g.: finance, human resources management, marketing, operations managements, etc) 1. Executive Summary It is a summary of the entire plan and should include highlights from each section of the document. It is aimed at explaining the basics of the business in a way to inform and interest the reader. Main advice: - be concise! No more than one page - it should provide a brief answer to the following core questions related to your business: What? Where? To whom? Why? - it is not an extended table of contents - do not overemphasise any information, be precise and to the point 2. Business Summary Describe the vision of the business related to the Eco-Innovation initiative. 2.1 Company Summary - Mission statement, entrepreneurial culture and corporate identity, i.e. founding characteristics of the company - Start-up summary, i.e. when you started or intend to start and first action plan - Type of business and sector - Any relevant company history and what you foresee for the future development 2.2 Management Summary - Company legal structure - Company organisation chart - Human resources and company divisions involved in the project - Project management methodology - Personnel plan, i.e. hiring plan and related costs 3
4 2.3 Products 1 and Services Products/services description Some suggestions - What makes your product/service different, i.e. Unique Selling Point or competitive advantage - What benefits it offers - Why customers would buy it from you instead of your competitors - Potential patents, trade marks or design registrations Production Some suggestions - Technology in use - Sourcing (e.g. raw materials and other inputs, way of procurement) - Production capacity Main advice: be simple! The reader might not be an expert of your business sector 3. Market Analysis Summary Analysis of the current situation: where are you? Analysis of both demand and supply. 3.1 Industry background Overview of the industry and of the macroeconomic framework 2. Consider past and current situation, together with future trends and outline which are most relevant variables to consider. Don't forget possible barriers to enter the market! 3.2 Market Analysis Provide an answer to the following questions: Which is your market? How do the distribution channels work, i.e. how do the customers receive your products? Which are your segments? How are your segments? In what position are your competitors? Demand point of view Determine qualitative and quantitative aspects of demand. Some suggestions: - Definition of the market segments; - Customer decision criteria; - Situation analysis and evolution of market segments; 1 Throughout the document, the word "products" is to intend what is your project about (e.g. technology, process, material, etc) 2 P.E.S.T.E.L. analysis, i.e. six questions asking what are your political, economic, social, technologic, environmental and legal barriers? 4
5 - Typology, profile and buying behaviour of the existing segments (fulfilled or unfulfilled needs, set of values, motivation, selection criteria, suppliers, etc ); - Changes occurred in demand; - Competitors performance analysis (segment competition and market share) Supply point of view Determine qualitative and quantitative aspects of demand. Some suggestions: - Situation of the relevant market (supply size, producers, types of products on offer, brand names, market share, chosen segments and why, how these target customers will be interested in your offer, etc ); - Supply / current competitors (number, profile, relative importance, followed strategy, etc ); - Supply / Potential competitors (substitute products, evolution of the sector); - Distribution and marketing channels (existing channels, relative importance, past and future evolution) Legal framework Consider those regulations and legislations that affect your business 3.3 SWOT Analysis - Strengths: company internal factors that are helpful to achieve the objectives; - Weaknesses: company internal factors that are harmful to achieve the objectives; - Opportunities: external factors out of the company s control that are helpful to achieve the objectives; - Threats: external factors, out of the company s control, that are harmful to achieve the objectives. 5
6 Please see Figure 1 Figure 1 "SWOT Analysis" 4. Strategy and Implementation Summary Describe how you intend to act in the market: objectives and strategy to follow. 4.1 Evaluating the value of your supply Provide an estimation of the overall value of what you are offering to the market. 4.2 Setting the objectives Where do you want to go? Usually, target results are related to increase the market share, the profitability, the sales volume (quantity) and to improve the image of the product as well as its relative position on the market (quality). They are also a consequence of the more general objectives of the General Management, the marketing management, the sales management, the communication management and the product management. In general terms, all these objectives have to be precise (quantifiable as much as possible), realistic and coherent. It is a good practice to break-down the objectives by intermediate objectives, i.e. milestones. A chart might also be useful. 6
7 4.3 Elaborating a strategy marketing mix Product Policy - Product portfolio - Product differentiation - Brands, models, packaging - Development of related services - Modification and removal of existing products - Planning of new products Price Policy - Costs, margins, discounts - Price setting to only one product - Price setting to a whole line of products Place Policy - Distribution channels: How will you reach your customers? Which partners will be needed in your distribution channels? Promotion and Exploitation Policy - Sales management: How will you make your sales? Do you have a sales plan? Have you considered which sales method will be the most effective and most appropriate for your market, such as selling by phone, over the internet, face-to-face or through retail outlets? Are your proposed sales methods consistent with your marketing plan? And do you have the right skills to secure the sales you need? - Sales promotion: How will you promote your product or service and attract new customers? Identify your sales process methods, e.g. direct marketing, advertising, PR, , e-sales, social marketing. - Corporate image 4.4 Segmentation and positioning strategies Inside each product-market couple, determining which strategic segment is the company addressing and provide a "cost vs added value" analysis, ideally as a positioning map (see Figure 2). 7
8 Figure 2"Product Positioning Map" 5. Financial Plan Summary How to provide all the required financial resources? Base your financial plan at the end of the project and two years later, but give much more details for the first 12 months' forecasts. 5.1 Assumptions Include possible assumptions underlying your figures projection, both in terms of costs and revenues so as to clarify the thinking behind the numbers. 5.2 Sales forecast The amount of money you expect to raise from sales 5.3 Cashflow statements Your cash balance and monthly cashflow patterns for at least the first 12 to 18 months. The aim is to show that your business will have enough working capital to survive, so make sure you have considered the key factors such as the timing of sales and salaries. Explain also individual costs such as; overheads, wages, equipment, legal, direct costs, loans, etc. 8
9 5.4 Profits and losses forecast A statement of the trading position of the business: the profits you expect to make, given your projected sales and the costs of providing goods and services and your overheads. 5.5 Break-even analysis The break-even point is the time when costs equal revenues and the costs are revenues values for this parity. Break-even analysis is a useful tool to provide a dynamic view of the relationships between sales, costs and profits for different price levels. In this section you should briefly explain what is going to happen before, during and after the break-even. A chart might also be useful (see Figure 3). Sales ( ) Total Revenue Break-Even Point Profit Total Cost Variable Costs Fixed Costs Loss Units Sold (#) Figure 3 "Break-even Analysis" 5.6 Seasonality In case your business is subjected to seasonality, explain the situation for the different phases of the cycle and provide a seasonality chart Scenarios Your forecasts should include at least one worst and one best scenario, i.e. to include subsidiary forecasts based on sales being significantly slower/smaller or faster/higher than you are actually predicting. 5.8 Risk analysis 3 The seasonality chart is a standard Cartesian chart, with time on the x-axis and sales value (quantity or revenue) on the y-axis. 9
10 Alongside your financial forecasts it is good practice to show that you have reviewed the risks your business could be faced with, and that you have looked at contingencies to cover such risks. Risks can include: - competitor action - commercial issues - sales, prices, deliveries - operations - IT, technology or production failure - staff - skills, availability and costs - force majeure 5.9 Exit Strategy Provide an exit strategy in case of business failure. 6. Monitoring The obtained results need to be assessed in order to measure any possible deviation from initial forecasts, and if so, to analyse the causes of this deviation and take the appropriate corrective actions. Moreover, knowing that markets change over time, it is necessary to control and re-evaluate the realisation of the business plan.
