Quinoa tabbouleh with white beans, kale & sesame seeds
I'm guessing this is going to become a staple food, as the days get warmer and warmer. It's a light and refreshing dish.
Ingredients for two servings:
After cooking the quinoa according to the instructions in the package, chop all the ingredients, except for the beans. Mix everything in a big bowl. I sautéed the kale but you can use it raw or just steamed.
When you have everything ready, pour the lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix everything together. Serve in separate bowls and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
It's a Quinoa

Chapter 66 Reviews
About 2 weeks later, we were on a break. Only for a couple of days though. The buses were parked because some of the crew and bands were going out, so I thought I'd take this to my advantage and do a bit of skating. Something I hadn't done in a while. All the other roadies had gone out to a bar not too far away with some of the band members. I don't know who though. It could have been the supporting acts, or Panic. I didn't really pay attention. So here I was, sitting on the bus steps slipping my 'blades on. Once I had fastened them, I stood up carefully and began to skate around. It was dark out, but that didn't matter because the venue had lights on outside.
I had been skating for 10 minutes when I saw a figure come out from nowhere. Of course I fell over, glasses falling off and skinning my knees (due to the fact that I was only wearing black shorts with my red V necked top.).
"Whoa! Stevie are you alright?" They asked, and helped me up.
"Yes, thank you kind blur." I nervously chuckled.
"Blur?" they asked confusedly.
"Yeah, my glasses fell off." I replied.
I saw the blur duck down and pick something up. Next thing I knew, my glasses were thrust into my hand. I quickly slid them on, and saw that it was Brendon.
"Thanks Bren. What are you doing here? I thought you went out with everyone else." I said.
"Nah, decided to just hang out here. What about you? All the other roadies went, why not you?" he asked.
"I didn't want to. Besides, wasn't invited anyways." I shrugged.
"Oh, ok then. Jeez your knees are scratched up pretty bad. Come back to my bus and I'll clean 'em up for you." He said.
I nodded, and followed him back to his bus, took my 'blades off carefully and walked inside.
Brendon told me to sit on the couch, so I did, and waited for him to come back from walking to the back of the bus. He came back a minute later with a first aid kit in hand. He grabbed a wet cloth, and cleaned my knees before he applied some ointment to them.
"Thanks Bren." I smiled once he was done.
"No problemo." He smiled back, before going to put everything away once again.
When he came back out he went to the fridge, "Wanna drink?" he asked.
"What do you have?" I asked back.
"Uhh, red bull, Capri sun, Coke, juice... I think that's it... unless you want some weird looking fruit." He laughed.
I laughed too, "I'll have some juice if that's cool with you." I replied.
He nodded and got one out of the fridge for me before grabbing himself a red bull.
"So, where're the guys? They out with everyone else too?" I asked.
"Yeah." He replied, taking a big gulp from his drink.
"Let's dance." I said randomly.
"To what?" he asked.
"I'm sure you have an iPod with a docking station of sorts." I said.
He nodded before walking to back to his bunk, pulling the device out, and plugging it in, in the main area.
"Now let's see how good your taste in music is." I said.
He rolled his eyes and turned it on. 'Don't Stop Me now' by Queen came through the speakers.
"Shall we?" he asked, holding his hand out for me.
"Oh we shall." I replied, grabbing his and getting up.
Brendon pulled my closer to him, and we danced for what felt like hours. We were laughing the entire time. We stopped dancing when we heard the bus door open and trudging footsteps following.
"H-Hey!" Jon said happily.
"What are you guys doing?" Ryan giggled.
"Oh you know. Making hot passionate, crazy love on the dance floor." I replied with a serious face.
Spencer, Jon, and Ryan all began giggling hysterically.
"Uhh, come on guys. Time for bed." Brendon stated, ushering the guys into the back bunk room.
"Bye Steeevie." Jon slurred before coming over and giving me a hug.
"G'night Jon." I replied.
Ryan and Spencer then hugged me before going with Brendon into the back bunk room. Brendon came out around 5 minutes later.
"Sorry about them. Didn't expect them all to get drunk." He chuckled.
"It's cool. Don't worry about it." I told him.
"Alright, cool. Do you wanna do anything?" he asked me.
"Maybe I should go back to my bus and leave you and the guys to sleep." I said.
Brendon laughed, "I don't think you'll be able to go back to your bus." He smirked knowingly.
"And why is that?" I asked suspiciously.
"Because this bus is moving." He stated.
I walked over to the window and saw that we were indeed moving.
"Wow. I didn't even notice." I laughed slightly.
"Yeah, you get used to it after a while." He shrugged, and sat back on the couch.
I nodded and sat beside him.
"Looks like you're sleeping with me tonight." Brendon said.
I laughed, "In your dreams babe." I replied to his comment.
"Get your mind out of the gutter!" he jokingly scolded.
"Normally it's the girl who says that to the guy." I said.
He shrugged and we both laughed. Brendon yawned and I looked over at him.
"Go to bed." I said.
"I'm not tired." He said, but yawned again.
I rolled my eyes, "Just go Bren. Have a good sleep." I told him.
"Where are you gonna sleep?" he asked me.
"Right here on this lovely piece of furniture called a couch." I replied.
"You can sleep in my-"
"No! I'm sleeping right here." I said.
"Fine. Let me grab you a pillow and a blanket." He replied, before walking away.
He returned a minute later with a fluffy pillow and blanket in hand.
"Thanks babe." I said, taking the items from him.
"No worries. See you in the morning." He said.
I got up and kissed his cheek, "G'night." I smiled.
He smiled back, "Night." He replied, before turning off the lights and walking back to his bunk.
Total Sweetheart.
--Chapter 7--
As soon as sunlight entered the room my eyes shot open. It was around 7am. Oh the joy! I pushed the blanket off of me before folding it neatly and placing it at the bottom of the couch with the pillow resting on top. Suddenly, my phone began to vibrate. Thank god I put it on silent in case it went off, just so the boys in the back ridden with hangovers won't get grumpy with me.

Members Present: Dr. Lisa Kapler, Rosemary Tobin, Pat McDonnell, Dr. Jodie Buehler, and Gaylen Hicok joined meeting at 7:00 pm.
Members Absent: None
Other Present: Gail Arjes, Administrator Floyd County Public Health, Jeff Sherman, Floyd County Sanitarian, Mark Kuhn and Doug Kamm, Floyd County Board of Supervisors, Mary Augustin, Tammy Steege, and Roger Hansen.
Meeting called to order at 6:00 pm by Dr. Kapler.
Minutes of the March 14, 2011 meeting reviewed. Motion made Pat McDonnell to approve the minutes, seconded by Rosemary Tobin, motion carried.
Agenda reviewed with motion made by Pat McDonnell to move agenda item II. B. to item II. A., seconded by Dr. Jodie Buehler, motion carried.
Gail Arjes, Floyd County Public Health/Home Health Care Administrator
Dr. Kapler commented that the Board of Health members received a letter from the Board of Supervisors, signed by Mark Kuhn. The letter is requesting the BOH to reconsider a decision made by the board at the March 14, 2011 meeting regarding the homemaker program. The decision at the March 14th meeting was reviewed and reasons why that decision was made were discussed which included: use of tax dollars, increased need for more other public health services, and decrease in grant funding from IDPH. Gail presented the Board with graphs that showed the cost of agency programs and how the homemaker program is funded. Information was also given as to what grants/funding sources have been or will be decreased and information regarding what services is mandated by the Iowa Code to provide. Dr. Lisa Kapler spoke regarding Accreditation for Public Health Standards, and Floyd County will need more resources to meet those standards. Mark Kuhn, Floyd County Supervisor who
was present spoke as to why they sent the letter. Mr. Kuhn stated that the Public Health budget is well within budget, the state legislature has not made a final decision
regarding their budget, and he received calls from residents who used the homemaker services and are now concerned about how their needs will be met. Gail presented the Board with a drafted policy regarding the homemaker program and a possible compromise for the Board to consider. Policy states checklist/guidelines will be used to determine the amount of time needed in the home for homemaker services. Board reviewed the policy and checklist. A motion was made by Pat McDonnell to approve the policy presented with the following change: at a minimum the LPN or RN will review the patient care plan annually. Seconded by Dr. Jodie Buehler, motion carried.
Year to Date budget reviewed.
Gail updated the Board regarding electronic medical records. Gail informed the board that the company that we had been speaking with regarding the records was bought out by a larger company and can offer a web-based system, which means there is a much lower upfront cost. The upfront cost with the web-based system is $6,000 compared to $40-$50,000 if we would purchase the software. There would also be less IT time involved with a web-based system. The monthly fee would be approximately $1,500.00 with the web-based system. Gail informed the Board of Health that she did share this information with the Board of Supervisors on April 9th, 2011 and has their support. Motion made by Rosemary Tobin to pursue the purchase of electronic medical records (CareFacts), seconded by Gaylen Hicok, motion carried.
Information was handed out regarding the County Health Rankings noting that Floyd County was in the bottom one-third of the state rankings. Gail informed the Board that she has spoken with the Iowa Counties Public Health Association regarding the information. The ICPHA suggested looking at the county health rankings website for suggestions as to ways to improve. It was also mentioned by the ICPHA rep. Tom Longley that a lot of the factors that affect Floyd County were in the social and economic risk factors category. Gail also spoke with Tom about potential grants and other ways that public health can help improve the rankings.
Jeff Sherman, Floyd County Sanitarian Report
Budget- Jeff forgot to get the budget report from the auditor office so there is no report. From last budget it looks good at this time.
Carville cabins variance - Roger Hansen talked to the Board about the need for a variance for setback for their septic systems to the wells for four cabins. Jeff presented the Board of Health with a list of all the septic that have been updated or need to be updated after subdivision is approved. It was determined that the closest well was 25� lot 6 & 7, then there is one that is 40� lot 12, lot 11 is 44� from the well, and the last one is 35� from well lot 15. Motion to approve the variance for the four cabins made by Jodie and second by Rosemary, motion carried.
Jeff updated the Board on Grant to County activities. Jeff has done 111 well test and 11 well closing with $4,648 left to use by July 1st.
Jeff updated the Board on his AgERT training in Anniston.
Old Business: No old business
New Business: No new business
Next meeting will be held on July 11, 2011 at 6:00 pm at the Floyd County Public Health/Home Health Care office located at 1003 Gilbert Street, Charles City, Iowa.

Source: Antawn Jamison plans to play Monday against Golden State despite wrist injury
An MRI taken Saturday confirmed that Lakers forward Antawn Jamison has a sprained right wrist, but a source close to the Lakers forward said he still plans to suit up Monday when the Lakers visit the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers are officially listing Jamison as day-to-day and plan to reevaluate him at the end of the season. The injury stemmed from Washington center Kevin Serpahin blocking Jamison's dunk attempt late in the third quarter of the Lakers' 103-100 loss Friday to the Wizards. Read more at http://bit.ly/Y7ae1V

O'Day, Hank
Henry M. O'Day
Born: July 8, 1859, Chicago, Illinois
Died: July 2, 1935, Chicago, Illinois
Elected to the Hall of Fame by Veterans Committee: 2013
During his long tenure, highly-respected umpire Hank O'Day showed the courage to make the right call no matter how unpopular. He followed a pitching career that included seven big league seasons by signing on as a fulltime National League umpire in 1897. Only two short stints as a major league manager interrupted his 30 seasons as an arbiter. In 1903, O'Day had the honor of calling balls and strikes in the first modern World Series, then earned nine more Fall Classic assignments. One memorable decision cancelled an apparent home-team victory in the famous "Merkle's Boner" game during the 1908 National League pennant race.

Hamburg dedicates new "Beatles Place"
A Plaza at the intersection of the Reepberbahn and Grosse Freiheit has been renamed "Beatles Place" (or "Beatles Platz" in German). It is black and circular to look like a vinyl record. In the plaza are four statues representing The Beatles. The project was initiated by a Hamburg radio station called Oldie 95. The official dedication ceremony was on Sept. 11, 2008.

Cafe Möller on St. Pauli, a breakfast hangout for The Beatles, has been

Hamburg Music Clubs
The Beatles first played at the Indra club on Grosse Freheit in Hamburg starting in August 1960 with John, Paul, George, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best as their new drummer. They played for 4 1/2 months during their first trip to Hamburg.
They would return several times over the next two years and, as their popularity grew, would play bigger clubs like the Kaiserkeller, the Top Ten Club and the Star Club.
Famous Beatles Photos
Not only were the first professional photographs of The Beatles taken in Hamburg (by Astrid Kirchherr), but Hamburg is where they were inspired to comb their hair forward into the revolutionary Beatles haircut.

Amazon will holds its press conference at Pace University in NYC and rumors are abound stating that they will announce a larger, big screen Kindle tailored towards newspapers, magazines and textbooks. Sounds like a good idea to me as the larger size will help traditionalists adapt to portable electronic media. Stay tuned for when this rumor bears some actual fruit to taste.

David Letterman
Hosted: once (1994)
The expectation was that Letterman, having the crown of late night television handed to him by Johnny Carson, would excel at the Oscar hosting gig, just as Carson had. This didnât happen, for two reasons. Letterman has the arrogance of ego, but no comfort level with it. Heâs essentially a nervous, awkward man, lacking the flexibility thatâs required to go outside his own comfort zone. Heâs warm with pretty girls, but put him next to a touchy-feely kind of fellow like, say, Colin Farrell, and watch him squirm. Second, heâs also, in his way, utterly ignorant of Hollywood, and proud of it. Part of his shtick on the âLate Showâ is to play the ignorant buffoon (âNow Jennifer, are you married to that Pitt fellow?â). But the undercurrent is and always has been: This is nonsense, why should I care? Nor did his love of the sophomoric gimmick translate. (Remember that âCabin Boyâ âauditionâ clip? Even Paul Newman couldnât transcend its stupidity.) But, in his defense, the bit that is oft-cited as the reason for him being the Worst Host Ever, that âUma, meet Oprah, Oprah meet Umaâ thing, was not as daffy and pointless as it seemed back at the time. Thanks to Nikke Finke, those of us who are less well-educated in comedy history than Letterman now know he was referencing a famous âYmaâ bit by Anne Bancroft, from her 1970 television special. Should have saved that for an Emmyâs telecast, Dave. On the upside, Letterman has made it clear heâs never coming back.
Overall impression: Clod in a good suit.

Firms work together to develop best practice approach to drafting security documents
Several leading law firms in Australia have worked together in the interest of their clients to develop a best practice industry approach to drafting security documents following the commencement of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA). The firms involved are Allens, Ashurst, Herbert Smith Freehills, King & Wood Mallesons and Norton Rose.
The recently implemented PPSA established new rules for the creation, priority and enforcement of security interests in most assets other than land.
Since before the operational commencement of the PPSA on 30 January 2012, Australian businesses and their lawyers have been grappling with the legal and practical considerations of how the far-reaching legislation will affect their business.
Law firms rewrote their standard security documents in response to the extensive and radical changes introduced by the PPSA. In doing so, firms took different approaches to some essential elements of the General Security Agreements (GSA) resulting in extensive negotiations, confusion for clients and unnecessary expense.
In recognition that it is not in clients' interests for firms to be negotiating their differing views on points of PPSA law during live transactions, the five law firms prepared a suggested standard for the core provisions of a GSA.
The PPSA model clauses are consensus positions that represent a distillation of the firms' thinking on a range of important issues.
With a consensus approach, negotiations where there is no substantive advantage to be gained can be avoided and the focus can be firmly on delivering commercial solutions.

But I'm scared!
I really want to try JUDDD. I've actually planned to give it a try for three Mondays in a row but I just can't bring myself to do it because I am so freaked out about the calorie restriction of down days. Especially the first down day. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get past this?
Or do I need profession help? :laugh:
I suggest you read some of the newbie's posts on here, it may help to take some of that "fear" away! ;):up:
Hi --
I'm a breastfeeding mom who does JUDDD -- not sure if you're BFing, but I believe we were expecting at the same time! :)
I have found that JUDDD is definitely working for me, but I have adjusted my DD calories to add the 500 we are supposed to need for BFing, so I eat more like 1,000 on a DD. OK, on some DDs I am a "wimp" and eat more like 1,300. But at any rate, I have really enjoyed the freedom that JUDDD gives me to eat what I want without worrying constantly about carb counts. I am still careful, mostly because I feel better when I eat fewer carbs, but in general I find it to be a really forgiving plan. I even lost weight over Thanksgiving, when I felt I had eaten WAY too much in general and botched my DDs overall. I've lost 4.2 pounds in the 4 weeks since I started JUDDD-ing, which is far more than I had lost in the previous month of eating whatever I wanted and hoping that BFing would take the pounds off.
So that's my story. Hope it offers some perspective!
I was scared, too!!! :hugs:
I was curious about JUDDD for 10-12 months before I decided to try it.
I was "scared" because I don't mind being a little hungry, but I hate feeling weak and shaky...
At 500 calories/day, I was sure I would feel that way;
my parents used to force me to fast when I was pretty young
(started when I was about 8 years old--and it was just for hippie reasons, lol, not religious or anything)
AND IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very turned-off to fasting and severe calorie restriction.
I have a few bullet points on Why JUDDD Is Not Scary,
because I like to tell my friends about it
--not for weight loss but so they can be healthy and cure their arthritis and asthma and stuff--
but I want to do it in such a way that they might actually consider it.
Why JUDDD Is Not Scary
*500 calories is just the induction phase. You won't necessarily be doing that forever, especially if you exercise/are active.
*You don't have to start at 500 calories. A lot of us started at higher calories and worked down.
My first week, I'd say I was at around 50%--not on purpose, but because I'd do okay all day and then get really hungry at night.
*If you "mess up", you can try again tomorrow (or the next day). You're not trying to get into ketosis, so it's not going to take days to get back on track.
*If you want to go out to dinner with some friends or something, you can switch your days around or even occasionally have two UDs in a row (gasp!!!).
*Dieting every day sucks. Dieting every other day is not so bad!
*Many people can tolerate more carbs, desserts, drinks, etc than they could on a "regular" diet.
*If you eat one thing you're not "supposed" to, there's no reason to go off the rails (and try to eat everything you can get your hands on because you already blew your diet today and tomorrow you're going to be "good") because you can have those other things you've been missing on your next Up Day...or in a couple weeks...or whenever! Because you can work just about any food into this plan (if you don't have diabetes or allergies).
And, if you're really scared....
you could try doing what I do, "MUDDD", maybe just as a transition rather than your permanent plan. On my Down Days I have an Up Day dinner, and on my Up Days I have a Down Day dinner, so my "days" are 24 hours rather than calendar days. I can't guarantee it has the full SIRT1 gene benefits of JUDDD, but I find it more flexible and better for managing my blood sugar.
I really didn't think I could do this because of the restricted DD calories, either. It helped to read the book and gain an understanding of why this is actually healthy for us. Also, I finally got so fed up with making no progress on low carbing that I felt I had to try something different!
I was scared, too. Like piratejenny, I can deal with hunger pangs, but if I don't eat for a long time, I get light headed, shaky and even panicky. I just found a food formula that worked and have stuck with it (pretty much) for the last 6 weeks. I'm in my 7th week of JUDDD and finally these down days are just a habit now. I also didn't start with 500 calories, that was insane for me to try in my estimation of myself. I started with 600 and that works well as long as I feed myself fairly regularly throughout the afternoon especially.
Give it a try. The worst that can happen is you're too hungry and you eat! :D
I started on 500 calorie DDs but I used the protein shakes like Dr Johnson suggests. I found that a LOT more difficult than eating "real food". I was also scared bc I didn't want to end up on the diet yo-yo. I lost most of my weight on low carb...but I knew I wasn't going to be able to give up carbs for the rest of my life. I do continue to eat lower carb than I ever did before, but I enjoy dark rye bread on my UDs :)
I would suggest just trying it. What do you have to lose? If you eat 700 calories instead of 500, I'm pretty sure you aren't going to gain a bunch of weight ;)
I'm a big girl - see stats! And I started with 500 cals on my DD - and as a general rule - I'm actually between 300 and 450 - and I am not getting hungry, weak or tired! Today is the last day of my first 2 weeks. Considering upping my DD cals to 600 per day, as I have quite a lot to lose - although I'm 10lbs down in 2 weeks (3lbs weren't JUDDD).
It's only one day - make sure you have plenty of LCal goodies around! I have found things like the most delicious flame grilled peppers - in a jar - the whole jar is 19 cals - they're great with FF Philly CC & some GG crackers - for a meal that is filling!!!! for around 50-60 cals!! Dinner - I have some shirataki noodles, 100gms of prawns, some arriabiatta sauce (and am full!!!) for around 120 cals. A boiled egg is a great brekkie if you need one - dependent on size around 80 cals - or perhaps egg white omelettes? You can eat very well one you give it some thought on DD - or some people find it easier to just have broths all day.
I like to have a frothy coffee or two for about 145 cals - my indulgence!
good luck!!
I tried JUDDD a little while back (and I may just try it again)...I was also scared of the DD but honestly, it is NOT SO bAD!! It is all about finding the right foods to eat on that day...the protein rich foods kept me full the longest. I found out NOT to eat fruit in the morning, for example...I would be hungry right away. But an egg in the morning kept me full for a long time!
and on JUDDD/MUDDD I don't get that weak, shaky, desperate hunger...
but to be fair, I "overcame" than on low carb, especially LC/high fat.
I have added back some carbs on this WOE, and I was afraid that would bring back the desperate hunger, uncontrollable cravings for bread and candy, etc; but so far, so good. My first two DDs, I did feel a bit weak and scatter-brained. But since then, even when I've gotten really hungry on DDs, I've felt quite good--physically, emotionally, and mentally. And if I don't, I eat something, usually protein. It often only takes 50-100 calories to feel better.
Excellent points!!! :up:
Lots of great post here. They will also help me to keep juddding.
But I am doing great on this woe I feel very well and alive
I love it.
Dds I am around 350c but will go up to 500c if I need it, and
sometimes I do.
Uds 1600c but will go up to 1800c if needed. Most the time
I don't need it.
I'm not exactly how I found this particular board, but I am so glad I did! I need(ed) to lose weight and I've tried a lot of other plans, including low carb. I wasn't actively looking for a new plan, just stumbled upon JUDDD.
When I first started (it's been three weeks), I jumped in with both feet! I calculated my calories on the JUDDD site and started with a DD. Crazy, I know! I knew nothing about the 500 calories, just started with what the site gave me (468). I'm not going to lie. That first day was hard. But you know what? I got through it. And it got easier.
PirateJenny makes some excellent points. I would like to add that planning your DD's helps a lot. Try to plan them so you have less than your calorie target so you have some wiggle room :)
you can do it!
I looked at JUDDD off and on for a really long time, but it sounded so complicated and scary. I finally decided to try it, and for me, the DD area actually the easiest part for me. Sure, I get a little hungry sometimes, but it isn't all that bad. I have found that if I eat higher protein items (like laughing cow cheese, turkey, chicken, steak-ums), then I am okay. If I get really hungry, a hot mug of chicken broth or one of the Lipton Cup of Soups does the trick. Hot peppermint tea is also a great one to get me through.
Wow guys, thanks so much for all the responses. Everyone here is so nice and supportive. :) I've decided to spend some time going through the DD recipes/foods, go shopping, then try my first DD tomorrow. *gulp*
In any case, low-carb and breastfeeding has been a terrible combination for me.
[QUOTE=Knittering;I didn't know that JUDDD was an appetite-suppressing diet. I thought only ketosis did that! [/QUOTE]
I actually NEVER got that wonderful appetite suppressing from ketosis and it was only after I started JUDDD that I FINALLY understood what everyone was saying when they were talking about it. On JUDDD I'm just not hungry, and it's amazing to me!! :up:
LC/VLC just made me more hungry and I ate so much more than I now do on JUDDD! Food is NOT a priority anymore and knowing I can eat ANYTHING I want has really helped, too. It's took away that "I can't have and now I want" attitude because I CAN have and now it's just not important! ;)
Beeb, do you count your calories on up days, too?
I am going to start tomorrow too! I am scared but I know it can be done. Wishing you the best!
Awesome Lucille! Let's concur the fear together! I have plans for broth soups and lots of tea tomorrow. :)
That sounds good Michelle. I am thinking of waiting to eat until lunch or a little later. I saved some beef broth from a roast I cooked and I think I'll eat some egg whites too. That's my plan so far :)
:welcome: Knittering! :shake: It might help to set your DD goal as 500 calories but mentally allow yourself to go up to 700 or even 800. It really seems to help if you have that "wiggle room", and you may end up not using it. But if you need it you know it's there. :) And if you're the type who can easily skip breakfast, then it helps to save calories for the end of the day/evening.
Good luck to you and to Lucille! You'll get the hang of this fast! :high5:
Breakfast is a protein & vitamin powder almond milk shake and coffee. This holds me over from about 8:00 -noon. Then I have a low carb light yogurt cup. Around 2:00 I have a can of Progresso light soup or homemade veggie soup. A couple hours later I'll have another coffee to tied me over until dinner. Dinner is a huge romaine salad with light dressing and 4 oz lean protein. And there ya go! Simple, boring, but I don't have to thing about it and that works for me.
I am thinking about trying this again. I tried this the week of Thanksgiving and after for a week and a half and got discouraged because I didn't lose any weight. I was just bouncing up and down. Since I am prediabetic and have to really watch what I eat , think I was eating too many carbs on my UD and the cravings started again. Hope this time I can do better.
Thanks for the additional advice!
30-Nov UD morning 1623 cals 150.6
1-Dec DD morning 618 cals 151.2
2-Dec UD morning 2081 cals 150.2 (pizza for lunch)
3-Dec DD morning 589 cals 151.5
4-Dec UD morning 1755 cals 150.5
5-Dec DD morning 541 cals 151.8
6-Dec UD morning 1812 cals 150.4
7-Dec DD morning ??? cals 148.3:jumpjoy:
notice: my body goes up and down one lb. each day for a week--and then I lose a lb or 2. I must keep track of my UD cals, though, or I eat too much! hang in there!!:D
That's exactly what I was hoping for -- thank you Beeb! :)
Thanks for all of the encouragement Everyone. I made it through lunch :) with no problems as yet. My downfall is usually around late afternoon, but am going to try and have something hot to drink about that time.
I think you are right, I probably didn't give it enough time the last time I attempted to do this. I see, pjsam, how your numbers were up and down as well as others have said, so I will try and be patient this time.
Thanks again

The Infamous Billy The Kidd Talks Women In Law Enforcement With END OF WATCH's America Ferrera
With END OF WATCH, America Ferrera is shifting to a new phase of her career, beyond the one that was defined by her titular role in ABC's UGLY BETTY. As Officer Orozco, Ferrera portrays a role that we don't often see get attention from Hollywood - a policewoman. As a tandem with Cody Horn, Ferrera is given the opportunity to put a female face on law enforcement that stretches beyond your typical clever detective. She's out on the frontlines as a beat cop, showing that women can hold their own as police officers just as well as anyone else.
While America was up at the Toronto International Film Festival, I had a chance to talk with her about END OF WATCH, in order to gain her perspective on what women of the law go through on a regular basis. Enjoy...
America Ferrera - Hello.
The Infamous Billy The Kidd - Hi, how are you?
America Ferrera - Hi there. Good, thank you.
The Kidd - How's Toronto treating you?
America Ferrera - It's good. It's a little rainy today, but it's good.
The Kidd - Okay. So let me jump right in and ask you specifically about your inclusion in END OF WATCH, which gives a voice to a segment of law enforcement that we don't really get to hear a lot about, and that's policewomen. How difficult is it to be a female of the law, in terms of what your research and the script helped you learn about that type of position?
America Ferrera - Yeah. Well, I got to spend some time with some pretty amazing female police officers and one of the things that I just heard echoed over and over again was that kind of saying that this perception of a woman trying to prove her machoness or trying to, you know, quote, unquote, man up, is just kind of not what's prevalent. What's prevalent is women who bring a different side of police enforcement to the work. There are obviously things that certain women are limited in physically, you know, if you're a certain height, or if you're a certain weight... just the truth is that you're going to come up against physical limitations that... maybe... That they saw the value in a female officer that she brought tactically and intellectually, and... We had a lot of men, police officers, say that their best partners were female cops because they could intellectually manage a situation and de-escalate something and solve the situation without having to resort to any kind of physical force. So it was a really fun getting to learn that the women weren't trying to be men, they were being women and doing what women do well, and differently and uniquely. And that's not to say that they weren't prepared to be involved physically if they had to be, which was a daunting thing for me. David [Ayer] really wanted us to try and put ourselves as much in the shoes as we could and try and experience... What's the change in your breath when you're confronted with a physical situation and on the first day we all went to a police academy and all had to wrestle a 200-pound man. [Laughs] It was incredibly humbling, as a 5-foot-1 woman, knowing that no amount of exercise I'd ever do would make me strong enough to fight a 200-pound man who is sitting on me. But, you know, over time, he had us do mixed martial arts. I, particularly, was boxing, because I felt like my character was definitely a boxer... Over time there was a certain amount of confidence and preparation and know how that... I'm not going to pretend like I was ready to go onto the streets, but I can realize... How I can see how when you're equipped with the physical preparation, but also the smarts, of how you avoid physical confrontation. But then if you're in a physical confrontation, how do you use your brain to get you out of it, and not just brute force. You realize that the women on the job were pulling from all of their best resources, and were great cops in a different way than men were great cops.
The Kidd - Is there an inherent trouble in gaining respect from the other side of the law? Because you have people who may already not like cops as it is, and then there's an extra layer added to it, with a woman being a police officer at that point, too, where they're not being seen as one and the same, they're seeing it as being exclusive to one another. So is there kind of a trouble that you saw? I know you guys did ride-alongs, but in terms of how police women are perceived by those that they have to deal with on a regular basis.
America Ferrera - I imagine that there's definitely a perception of when somebody sees a male cop drive up versus a female cop, but all of the women that we saw on the job carried themselves in incredibly strong and assured ways. What we heard over and over again is like, a big part of being a cop is the way you carry yourself, and all of the messages you're sending about how assured you are about how well you can do your job. And it was true for the women; If the women were carrying themselves in a certain way, there was no way that you would look at them sideways, because they were tough. They were real tough.
The Kidd - There's also a sense of brotherhood, and family that END OF WATCH really gets into. Kind of like a fraternity when you join the force and you're a police officer. Do you think that there are any issues with women gaining acceptance into this fraternity? Or once you kind of get that badge, you're welcomed into what it is that everyone is doing?
America Ferrera - No, I don't think that it's as... lovely as that. You know, we spoke to a lot of women who, yeah, had had to prove their worth as a cop to be accepted. I think it's true for all the cops, that you don't just gain the respect, you earn the respect of your co-workers. But I think the women particularly? Sure, there are prejudices and preconceptions that they're not going to be good at certain things, and I think... Each individual has to kind of find a way to overcome that. And, you know, I don't think that it's as easy as a blanket statement, I think it's probably differnet in every single situation. But we met women who were very open about the prejudices they had to overcome, and some who had to overcome them and some who hadn't. It's definitely in there, in the way that I think it's in every single field of work between men and women.
The Kidd - You're from L.A., born and raised. Were you prepared for this new side of the city being exposed to you, in terms of going out on these ride-alongs and seeing what police deal with on a regular basis?
America Ferrera - No, I wasn't, actually. I was very emotionally unstable, for most of those. The very first thing that we did as a team was... We were at the police academy and they brought us into a room and they made us close our eyes and they played real, live 9-1-1 calls. And some of them were children making 9-1-1 calls because one of their parents was physically attacking another. It was really hard, and it was really, really tough. Not to say that those things only happen in those areas, but to know the frequency with which these cops were dealing with these situations, the reality of what a child in a certain neighborhood knows and sees before a child in a different neighborhood... It took an incredible emotional toll. And a lot of what we spoke to... a lot of what I spoke to the cops about, male and female, were, what was the emotional toll? They were fairly open about it, and said that it's tough. That it's really hard. It's not easy, and even when you think you're getting used to it, you'll see something that reminds you that you're human, and you're going to continue to be affected, even though it's your job to deal with those types of situations.
The Kidd - You're very active politically, so I wanted to ask you your thoughts on treatment of cops in general. We hear a lot of times about their pay getting cut or reduction in force. So I just wanted to get your take on why we don't take better care of these people who on a daily basis put their lives on the line to protect us, and don't ask a lot in return.
America Ferrera - My older sister was actually a cop for a while in California and... It wasn't until a spent a little bit of time as a fly on the wall on certain ride-alongs, in the type of training they undergo, to really get a glimpse of what their job entails. It's an embarrassment that we couldn't take care of the people who put their lives on the line for public safety. I think it's awful, and I think that... They give so much of themselves and they're putting their lives on the line on a daily basis. So I would say that it's shameful that we wouldn't reward them for the work that they do.
The Kidd - You're also very involved with Get Out The Vote campaigns, particularly for Latinos. So I just wanted to get your opinion on some of the proposed voter ID laws in numerous states, and why you think there is an effort to make it more difficult for people to vote, instead of more accessible.
America Ferrera - Well it's the same efforts that have been attempted throughout our history. That have been racially driven or targeted certain demographics that certain people don't want voting. What's interesting about the voter ID laws is they affect several different groups. They disproportionately affect young people. All young people. Students... The African-American community, and enormously they affect the Latino community. They affect the elderly, they affect the disabled, they affect an enormous amount of different groups and all supposedly to solve a problem that doesn't really exist, this idea of voter fraud that people have found very very difficult to actually prove that there is a level of voter fraud that requires this sort of widespread fighting back against, which just really makes it very difficult for certain groups of people to take part in the political process and exercise their right to vote.
The Kidd - Let me ask you about CHRISTINE, which is the web series that you're involved with. What are your thoughts on the web as a method of content distribution as we're seeing people move in that direction to have edgy or fresh material that you wouldn't normally see as a network series, that the web is the home to take some risks in terms of doing new things?
America Ferrera - It's really exciting. I was really drawn to the project CHRISTINE based on content. I'm a huge fan of Rodrigo [Garcia], who wrote the script and sent it to me, and I... I'm a fan of his and I love the character and I love the script. I think the bottom line is that the content has to be appealing. But then it was also really exciting to engage in this new platform. To try and experiment and have fun with the ways that technology is challenging us to communicate, and the way that people are more open to different types of content because of new technologies. I thought it was really exciting when it was rolling out on... To be able to see the way the audience interacted so directly with each seven to eight minute episode that went up on the air.
The Kidd - Finally, a lot of people, myself included, I think, were really surprised with how fantastic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON turned out, for all audiences. I know work is already underway on the sequel, so what can you tell me about HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2, and how closely things are set to follow the book series that it's based on?
America Ferrera - The plans for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 are huge plans, and the series only gets deeper and more interesting. I agree with you, I was really, really surprised at the level of storytelling that they achieved in the first film of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. As an actor, you're such a small part of that process. You come in and record lines once every few months, and you don't get to see all the visuals and the images and the animation coming together. You don't even get to hear what the other actors are doing, so you see it all come together, and see what... what was accomplished in this platform in animation. It was so exciting for me, and knowing what happens in the second movie, knowing where they're taking the series... It only gets more exciting and I think it will be just, if not more impressive than the first one.
The Kidd - Well, good luck with the film, and keep up the good work on the Get Out The Vote campaign. I think it's really important to have people not disenfranchised and thinking that their votes matter and count, and especially in this year, an election year, it's very important. So good luck with all of that, and thank you very much for taking the time today.
America Ferrera - Great, thank you so much.
The Kidd - Thank you.
America Ferrera - Okay, bye.
The Kidd - Bye.

Blu Ray at best
by Glenn
THIS is what's wrong with movies now. That we have immediate access to movies at home -- whether pirated or ON DEMAND -- or via the Blu/DVD release schedules of feature films. 'Member the good old days when you knew it was gonna be YEARS before a film was released on VHS or even early DVD? The film industry, by relying on the quick-inrush economics of home video for their quarterly reports to stockholders, have fucked themselves out of long-term audiences. Not to scream and tantrum ad nauseum about the ruining factors of corporation greed, but this need to appeal instantly to investors every three months has ruined the largeness that movies used to engender. Movies feel so small now and unspecial except for the $200 million monstrosities with their alarmingly excessive marketing campaigns. No wonder the indie market is slowly drying up like the Mojave desert.

by Dustoff74
You asked about voter ID laws (as if asking for a photo ID at the voting booth is criminal and racially discriminating)? yet at the DNC this year, if you didn't have a photo ID, you couldn't see the man you so love. No ID? "We don't trust you to be near Mr. PotUS....but be sure to get everybody without one to vote for him." i like America, she's a great lady. but this question was dumb.

Library Lawlessness, Oh My!
Earlier this year, Mayor Ed Lee expressed his displeasure with our local library etiquette and yesterday, the Library Commission considered some possible new rules to discourage activities such as bathing in sinks, sexual relations in public, etc. Now, it looks like our libraries are on the right path, or shall I say the freeway to Boring Town.

Thoughts on these character names?
Okay, so I want to know what you think of these character names; do you like the sound, do they suit the description of the character, etc.
The story is set in a 'recovering-from-an-apocalypse', steampunk future. Imagine there was some big disaster due to global warming or WWIII and heaps of people died and society collapsed. Well, this is set another couple hundred years on from that, so humanity has sort of rebuilt and is okay, but the world is entirely different.
I want the characters to have names that are familiar, but also a bit weird. I want it to sound like a progression from today's names. Also they all need middle names.
With that in mind, here are the names:
Halloran Guernsey - 22yo, nn 'Hal'. A forgetful 'mad scientist' type with wide eyes and crazy hair. Sweet and shy, he can be a bit of a pushover. Biracial with sable skin, brown hair and amber eyes. Tall and skinny.
Mateo Sangrante - 20yo, nn 'Teo'. Confident and flirty, but sometimes snobby or insensitive. A strong jaw and broad shoulders. Tanned with brown eyes and shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair. He comes from a very rich family so feel free to pile on the middle names.
Ansa Tallemy - 20yo. Guarded and somewhat uptight, but fiercely loyal and a 'mother hen'. Curvy, with Middle Eastern heritage. Striking green/hazel eyes, and dark, straight, shoulder length hair.
Stellan Class - 26yo. Serious but with a dry, sarcastic sense of humour. Very tall and muscular. Short, neat blonde hair, pale skin and blue eyes.
Casendra Lendere - 25yo, nn 'Cass'. Very open and caring, but stubborn. She is sometimes willing to do bad things for 'the greater good' and needs the team to help her keep an eye on that aspect of herself. Athletic with ebony skin, up swept brown eyes and black hair in cornrows to her mid-back.
????????? - 19 yo female. Witty and 'pixie-like'. She always sees the best in people, but can be naive. Short and slender with an upturned nose. Pale, freckled skin, long strawberry blonde hair and dark blue eyes. I have know clue what her name should be but I want it to be 'mischievous' sounding.
Okay, that's all of them! Please, be honest and don't be afraid to criticise.

Gaby's Deli
what the critics say
Matthew Norman - 9/10
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
Gaby's is a lovely little deli on the Charing Cross Road. It's been serving great falafel in pitta, super salt beef and a huge range of salads for 45 years now.
It's cheap and cheerful, great for pre-theatre eats or dropping in for a quick mid-afternoon strudel. Signed pictures of happy theatrical customers on the walls.
Gaby's is unique and everyone can afford to eat there.
Better go quick though because the Marquess of Salisbury has decided - as the landlord - that he wants to shut down Gaby's and bring in one of the clone chain restaurants in its place.
If you think this a bad idea, pleae look at "Save Gaby's Deli" on facebook for how to object.

From cool animal facts to nature and location facts, these infographics reveal more about the interesting, bizarre and always entertaining world we live in.
The quality of the captioning leaves much to be desired. I'm pretty sure the one about birthdays is not grammatically correct. How did they manage to get the pipe (character cursor) in the images?
I suppose it would be nitpicking, but since I'm on a roll here, to say you have to turn on the microwave at some reasonable power lever and duration of time to get the grapes to explode, otherwise they don't explode when you put them in there. It feels like the response should be something like a bowl of grapes in a microwave and a lolcat saying "Ur doing it wrong"
I'm convinced this is trollbait for anyone who has any interest in grammar or proof reading. I'd joke that it's a communist plot (by all those english speaking Chinese I might add) to distract us from what we really need to be paying attention to, which is the proliferation of texting grammar (another communist plot I've been assured) but I suspect people would be offended by my besmirching of the communist parties good name or worse take the joke seriously. At which point this comment and likely the entire article would be censored in China. And I don't want that on my concision, I want the author to able to read these comments, so no soviet-era nostalgia jokes. I am sorry.
I am vry thankful of the team who hav prepared these mindblowing facts.extraordinary!pleaz keep it up

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
Packed with the best specifications of the three Pop S LTE handsets in Alcatel One Touch's lineup, the Pop S9 is the likely the one you're looking for.
Pricing not available
This phablet packs the Xperia Z's beautiful design in a supersized 6.44-inch frame and looks set to give the Samsung Galaxy Note range a run for its money.
Pricing not available
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
This USB tuner means Xbox One owners can watch TV via their console without switching TV input, and use voice controls too.
Pricing not available
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
The Xbox One Media Remote is a must-have accessory that makes it much easier to accept a gaming console as the hub of your living room.
Overall, NHL 15 is a bittersweet event. It regularly exudes shades of brilliance and heightened moments of action that truly captures the best parts of hockey. But alas, it's soiled by a harsh truth: NHL 15 is missing an awful lot of features.
While its camera isn't best-in-class and Windows Phone's underwhelming app selection still stings, the elegant and sophisticated HTC One M8 is an enticing alternative to Nokia models.
The One E8 offers the high-end HTC experience in glossy colors and a plastic case, but without a unique selling point, there's little reason to buy this expensive device.

You would need a monitoring solution installed on a server with network access to all of the servers you want to monitor, and depending on what you want to monitor and how you want to do it, you could need a user account on the operating systems of those machines (for example if you want to monitor using WMI (windows) or SSH (linux/unix)). This would not be necessary if you want to monitor using SNMP, but an SNMP agent would need to be running on the machines.
Other solutions would require a proprietary agent to be installed on the monitored systems.
There are free tools, and there are paid products which tend to be more feature reach and have better suppport.

The Impacts of the Canadian Wheat Board Ruling on the North American Malt Barley Markets
AbstractThe 2011 Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act deregulated Canadian grain markets and removed the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) as the sole buyer and seller of Canadian grain. We develop a rational expectations contract decision model that serves as the basis for an empirically informed simulation analysis of malt barley contracting opportunities between Canadian farmers and U.S. maltsters in the deregulated environment. Comparative statics and simulation results indicate that some new opportunities for contracting are possible, but the likelihood of favorable conditions for U.S. maltsters to contract with Canadian rather than U.S. farmers is low—between 6% and 33% over a range of possible selection rates. The effects on contracting of the termination of the Canadian grain transportation revenue cap policy and of the relaxation of criteria for the release of new spring wheat varieties are also investigated. While changes to grain transportation policies are not likely to significantly affect favorable conditions for contracting, reducing constraints on Canadian farmers' access higher yielding wheat varieties could increase the returns from growing spring wheat but decrease the likelihood of contracting for malt barley with U.S. maltsters by an average of 5.5 percentage points.

The mirrors in the interior part 2
The mirrors in the interior part 2
In addition, do not install a mirror close to the light, light should not fall on him, and that it reflects. Notably, the constant overheating of the surface quickly fades, so do not needs to install a mirror there, where often get direct sunlight.
Silk screen mirrors
Interior mirrors are colored, colourless, translucent, all sizes, and shapes. In addition to providing individual style mirror surface polished, age, and paint or silk screen printing method using the sander.
Mirror frame
Special role in the production of interior mirrors plays frame, which is like a picture frame, plastic limits the mirror surface and combines well with other design elements rooms.

Bronze colored mirror
3. Try the option "mirror-picture" or the classic version of "mirror on the mantelpiece". If such a mirror to issue any of the original frame (pick it up to the general style) – get a very interesting element of the decor.
4. An unusual way of decor is a composition of the mirrors, which will always be in the spotlight. Mirrors of various sizes, but decorated to a single style, if they are placed randomly on the wall, this surely can create intricate mosaic of the faces of which will play light.
5. Try using a mirror as part of a finishing material (pieces of mirror embedded in floor tiles). This technique makes the room elegant and unusual. Excellent option for your room can become suspended ceilings with a smooth surface. Mirrors are not just "lifting" the premises, but also can completely transform it.

6. The placing a mirror next to some of the colour full interior detail – and you will double its glamor. If it is a flower – become greener, if it is light – you will get lighter.
What should be the shape of the mirror, its optimal size, location and more – to be addressed to you, considering your own taste and the overall style of your interior?
Leaf decorated mirror
Finally …
Since ancient times in many cultures, mirrors are mystical, religious objects. Therefore, do not be sceptical of Feng Shui, which is not recommended to hang a mirror opposite the front door and front of the bed.
