Many badges were broken & some looked burned on back. They are not durable. Waste of money.

ABERDEEN -- Dr Tony Hayward has been awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Technology (Hon DTech) by Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.
Tony Hayward is the Chief Executive of Genel Energy plc, an Anglo-Turkish exploration and production company with world-class oil and gas assets in the Kurdistan region. He is Chairman of CompactGTL and Interim Chairman of GlencoreXsastra; a Partner and Member of the Advisory Board of AEA Capital and a Member of the Advisory Board of Numis Corporation. He has also served on the boards of TNK-BP, Corus, and Tata Steel.
Tony, who was presented with the honorary award on Friday, July 12, was born in Slough, Buckinghamshire, and is the oldest of seven children. He chose to study Geology at Aston University in Birmingham, and after gaining a First Class degree, moved to Edinburgh to read for a PhD in the Edinburgh School of Geosciences.
In 1982, shortly after his graduation, he joined BP as a rig geologist in Aberdeen. During his early career with BP Tony quickly rose through a variety of technical and commercial roles in Europe, Asia and South America. He returned to London in 1997 as Group Vice-President for Exploration and Production and became a member of the Upstream Executive Committee in 1999. In 2000 he became Group Treasurer, and CEO Exploration and Production in 2003.

Heroes on Demand: Shorroq, Trandoshan Bodyguard
Welcome once more to Heroes on Demand, your source for ready-made and ready-to-play PCs for a variety of RPGs. It's no surprise that the Outer Rim Territories are a dangerous place, a haven for those fleeing the ever-tightening grip of the Galactic Empire. While there are certainly well-meaning and honest denizens of the Outer Rim, there's also a lot of beings looking to get ahead at somebody else's expense. It's at times like those that the presence of a bodyguard can make all the difference. So take a quick check to make sure the coast is clear and that your blaster is fully charged as we introduce…

While many of his brethren prefer to make their living by preying upon others, either directly as slavers or in less direct means, Shorroq would rather put his particularly talents to use in keeping others out of harm's way. Over the years, he's learned the hard way that asking too many questions about what a prospective employer did in order to need protection in the first place tends cause unnecessary complications when it comes to the more profitable clientele. So, in most instances the only thing Shorroq needs to know from those under his care is who they're trying to avoid and for how long they'll need his protection.
Design Notes:
Shorroq's a fairly simple build, in that he's meant to absorb damage while still dishing some of it back out. He's also quite perceptive and quick to react to trouble, two very good traits to have in a bodyguard. Most of his starting experience points ended up going into skills followed by talents, which didn't leave him anything to boost up his starting Characteristics any. However, with the way skills work in this game, Shorroq's still very capable in his areas of expertise; he won't be outshooting any Rodians in the near future, but he's still handy with a blaster and no slouch when it comes to mixing it up in melee. He's also got a solid mix of combat skills, giving him a viable option no matter kind of bad situation he ends up in, and is a decent pilot or co-pilot as well.

Sometimes I surprise myself. I have nothing against Pottery Barn, but there isn't much that they've offered in the past that grabbed me. Same goes for Crate and Barrel, West Elm, and the other chains that fall into this category that I call mainstream decorating stores. They appeal to the masses, but for those of us that are a bit less typical in our approach to design, we tend to go elsewhere for most of our finds or we repurpose what we have.
But lately I started looking at my Pottery Barn catalog again. I'm liking how they're styling their rooms, the great paint colors they've rolled out to help many a home owner, and how they're incorporating a bit more pattern and variety into their collection. I still wouldn't buy a complete room-in-a-box from them because I'm far too eclectic and bossy — I need to incorporate a lot of me into my home and not someone else's vision, but I don't think Pottery Barn is trying to sell you on an entire room these days. I'm seeing lots of things in their rooms that you can't buy in a PB store so seems they want us to mix it up a bit.
Know what else I'm liking about Pottery Barn lately? Their office furniture and accessories. The variety that they offer for the modern crafter or home office worker appeals to my taste because who wouldn't love a huge linen pinboard like this or to sit on the Ryden desk chair with such pretty trim? And the sofia chandelier would totally work in a petite bathroom. Or for $49, this darling teardrop chandelier is perfect for an entry (marked down from $129) or over a bedside table.
Next time you pick up a Pottery Barn catalog, really get into the rooms they show and try to figure out the mind of a stylist. It's a good exercise to help you spin your own creative wheels, especially helpful if you feel a bit rusty. Take for example this bedroom, the burst of these floral yellow branches coupled with a shot of pink at the foot of the bed looks really nice in this mostly neutral space. You can easily switch around these elements with each season with new colors to add a fresh new look to your bedroom. Simple swap out the flowers, a few pillows, and the throw. Try violet and green, violet and gray, blue and yellow, you get the idea. Another cool tip to steal from this room: the art over the bed. You can do something almost exactly like this by using your favorite wallpaper or fabric and mount it on wood or foam core.
Great example of a well styled wall. These objects all relate to one another via color and size and the groupings here are symmetrical. I remember learning years ago that in order to style a bookcase or shelf, you need to view it as a giant letter Z, in other words, the eye should follow the objects in that pattern, staggering from top to bottom. Interesting concept, isn't it?
Foo dogs! Yay! Now this is a leap for Pottery Barn and I like it. Although I'm not keen on the desk and chair, I do like the turquoise glass and that wall of photos pinned to it (to the right of the desk). It looks very random and I like that. The grouping over the window makes the space feel a little too cramped in my opinion, so I'd leave it alone, but that inspiration wall looks great.
This desk is the ultimate for the modern crafter or even interior designer because you can work either seated or standing and you have lots of places to store your tools. Huge flat space for cutting, sewing, hand drafting, etc. Very nice. I also like the brightly painted accent wall. The rug and those large pictures on the wall — not so much. I'd put my inspiration board there so I'd have a spot for pinning everything.
This is a bit rustic for my taste but hello, did you see their doggy art wall? I mean an art wall in a Pottery Barn catalog? This is progress people. Maybe they found it all over on Etsy? :) Adorable. That tree coat rack isn't bad though, I would paint it some crazy color or go all white with it, I don't think black does it justice as you can't really see what it is against the dark wood walls.
This blue headboard is really, really pretty. And if you get sick of blue, you can paint it because for me, I don't feel nearly as guilty painting already painted furniture as I do painting over natural wood. I also picked up this idea here: if you're not into bedside table lamps, opt for a mini chandelier.
Rug? Pretty but not for me. Curtains? Ditto. Desk? Yes! Especially with all those pretty things arranged inside. A great workstation option for those with laptops and no dedicated room at home for an office. You can use this for working and then when you're finished, close up shop and no one will ever know that your china cabinet is doing double duty in your dining room. When you need to work, you can pull your dining room chair away from the table and open your cabinet and start visiting all of your favorite blogs again. ;)
This room is an example of what I meant earlier when I said that Pottery Barn is starting to mix color and pattern in unexpected ways. An animal print chair cushion with a modern floral blue rug? Although there's several things I'd alter in this room, I can't take my eyes off of that turquoise vase and those numbers. What is that anyway? A chalkboard? bag? calendar? I can't figure it out.
I really like the medium blue wall behind the bed, the lamp, and the idea of a small bedroom functioning as an office simply by swapping a nightstand with a desk and an ottoman. Great use for a spare bedroom too. The duvet scares me a little for an adult bedroom.
And for those that are a bit color confused, PB has this clever section on their website that I think is extremely beneficial because they feature many painted rooms with the wall colors identified so you can run out and buy it. They even have an entire section devoted to kid's rooms. Keep in mind that lighting plays a huge part in how these colors will look in your home, but still — it's really helpful. There are 28 of their own Pottery Barn paint colors made exclusively for them by Benjamin Moore (great paint by the way) to choose from so you can click here to view them all.

Fresh, energetic, natural, productive, green! Green has long been associated with many positives. It can mean brand new or renewed. Maybe you have a green thumb meaning that you're good with plants. Green is also another word for cash so when you have a little extra green in your wallet that's a positive. Going green is equally good, it means you've decided to live in a way that benefits the environment. And think back on some of our favorite childhood characters. Who didn't like Mr. Green Jeans and Kermit? Still not sold on the color green? Watch this video. :)
From a cultural perspective, green is the color of Ireland and the traditional color of Islam because it's a sacred color there. On the flipside, it also calls to mind a few negatives, poison for one. Remember Mr. Yuk stickers? It can also point to a lack of experience, jealousy or being green with envy. When I think of grassy green, I think of Ireland and Kate Spade. What about you? I've been thinking a lot about this color over the past few days and I've decided that it will forever be a positive color in my eyes and when it comes to the best rooms for it, I prefer seeing it in the bedroom, office, or bathroom. Here are a few of my favorite finds that may whet your appetite for this fresh Springtime hue!
Some of my favorite green finds for the home: Mariette pillow and the Inanda pillow both via Anthropologie, sowa salt + pepper shakers, STAACH Cain collection slatted bench, perry street frame from Kate Spade, and trellis green wallpaper fom Ballard Designs.
Other fun finds: Stella lamp, Lucy frame and alarm clock all from Pottery Barn. A lamp like this would look great on a lacquered white desk or console. I love the idea of green in an office because it gives me feelings of energy, calm, and balance. It's particularly nice mixed with white and violet or turquoise.
And when it comes to paint, isn't this Benjamin Moore stem green 2029-40 just beautiful on the walls?

Many know about Pantone, the mega color standards company who unveils color forecasts for each season — today their Fall '08 forecast was released to the public on their website. I always download mine and print it out in color so it's handy. It's important for all designers to preview the next it colors – from interiors to fashion, product, and beyond.
"Refreshing splashes of invigorating brights punctuate classic, versatile neutrals as designers offer a playful spring palette for endless exploration and creative combinations. Variations on popular colors such as energizing red, cool, waterborne blue and eco-friendly greens also play a key role this season." – Pantone
Pantone scours advertising, magazines, movies, websites, and other facets of pop culture to unearth color cues, even surveys of socio-economic trends, art exhibits, and considering even the state of the global economy. After intense research and analysis, they sell colors to clients a few years in advance and then poll them to discern popular choices so they can then produce color planning guides that influence the multitudes. I walked around for years thinking these trends just happened for no reason at all. But oh no, everything is calculated. That's why it's critical for you to know what the color forecast is for each season because then you can use it as a guide in your design in order to stay current.
Here are the Fall '08 color trends in fashion. These trends are mirrored in home design, too. Here's the Spring forecast in case you missed it. Now when you browse current magazines and catalogs you can look for these colors.

Ah, good ol? brown. Woodsy, earthy, dependable. It?s not actually a spectral hue, but a dark version of orange. All the same, rustic, wholesome brown is a staple in interior design and deserves its moment of glory.
What words come to mind when you think of brown? Snuggly, rich, comfy, natural, soothing, luxurious and warm may be a few. It?s also a safe choice, if red shouts, then brown is a soft hum. Brown's pale sibling, beige, is a very popular wall color here in the states. No wonder IKEA targeted us with their popular "Be Brave, Not Beige" campaign including a fun website dedicated to encouraging the infusion of saturated color into the home, especially the 'typical' American one. While I believe strongly in the use of color in a space, I?m not entirely against beige and its milky cohorts. From buff to burgundy, rust to wheat, brown can give you a huge range of looks and whether understated or bold, it's often a terrific canvas to work from.

These neutral tones can work quite in supporting roles: to provide a backdrop to accent pieces, or maintain continuity between stronger tones. The warm mushroom chaise lounge works wonderfully here as a counter-balance to the soft grey wall.
Here, deep brown paint provides weight and a sense of depth in this sitting area. Chocolate also look lovely in smaller spaces, such as an entry, kitchen, or bathroom. via: Homes and Gardens UK.
Wood floors are a basic component of most homes. And wood furniture. Most people stop there, concluding that since wood is brown all wood furniture must match. Right? Have you ever considered that each variety, while still ?brown?, has a different undertone? Cedar, pine, oak, cherry wood tones range from red, to orange, blonde or even blush. via: Flooring Express.

Think of the food craze for a moment, chocolate and coffee. Ranging from milky caf? au lait to triple shot espressos, cupcakes, and cookies. Not only does chocolate taste great, but it can create a genuine sense of warmth and security, while stirring up your appetite. No wonder that it's called Comfort Food. (Now I?m hungry!)
Speaking of food, aren?t these walls below simply edible? Brown is an excellent choice when you want to set off a more saturated hue. Think about contrast – dark against light, muted against bright. Brown and orange, or turquoise, or pink…

Texture and pattern are important considerations when you?re mixing monochromatic (one color) elements. To dabble in brown, start with accent pieces: a throw pillow or piece of artwork. Amenity Home has a beautiful range of textile pieces to bring nature inside.
By combining lights and darks, and layering different textures together, basic brown spaces can become anything but boring. Do you like using it in your space? I bet you have more of it around than you realize!

How Does Faith, Regardless of Religion, Affect Your Every Day Life?

D.A. Carson, one of today's most notable Bible scholars, introduces the irony, scandal, and greatness of the work done on the cross. How are Christians to approach the central gospel teachings concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus? The Bible firmly establishes the historicity of these events and doesn't leave their meanings ambiguous or open to interpretation. Even so, there is an irony and surprising strangeness to the cross.
Carson shows that this strange irony has deep implications for our lives as he examines the history and theology of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Scandalous is the latest addition to the Re:Lit series, which highlights important theological truths in accessible and applicable ways. Both amateur theologians and general readers will appreciate how Carson deftly preserves weighty theology while simultaneously noting the broader themes of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through exposition of five primary passages of Scripture, Carson helps us to more fully understand and appreciate the scandal of the cross.
Terry Delaney says:
Any book by D.A. Carson is worth owning in one's library. This book on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is very timely and one that every Christian who enjoys reading theology should read. Carson expertly teaches on five important passages that are central to the gospel message that many of us preach and teach today. Through careful exegesis and excellent application for today, Carson offers ... Read more
Bradley Chambers says:
I've just finished listening to Scandalous by D.A. Carson. I received it as a reviewer for christianaudio.com. It is approximately 6.3 hours long I've long been a fan of Carson. I treasure his New Bible Commentary among all the commentary books I own. His introduction to the new testament book is also wonderful. I am sad to say that I did not enjoy this book as much as I would have liked. ... Read more
Travis Peterson says:
D.A. Carson's Scandalous surprised me with how enjoyable it was to read and how encouraging it was to my soul. Carson is a name that is synonymous with scholarship in the world of modern Evangelicalism. A well-known professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and the author of numerous books and biblical commentaries, Carson is someone that most evangelicals should read. Positives ...

Way too much time on my hands!
Well, I've put together three salads with only lettuce and b/s chicken breast. Topped with a half & half mixture of the Newman's Sesame Ginger and the Maple Farms 0 cal Raspberry Vinaigrette dressings, so the same amount of dressing, but cutting the calories with the addition of the Maple Farms.. while hoping the Newman's dressing will give it some stronger flavor.
Already close to 500 calories, just with all that chicken meat, but I'm going to be working hard today, so thought I'd better fuel myself with meat protein. We'll see how this goes, because it didn't turn out to be very much food! I'm taking two of the salads with me.. so breakfast and lunch. I left the other one in the refrig, 'cause I know if I'd taken it too, I'd have eaten it before I got home.

This was the way my friend ate, and she lost weight pretty fast. She moved away, so I don't know if she still has high days and low days anymore. My sister eats the same thing every day, and I think that would be boring.
I like the idea of eating whatever I'd like, but don't know how hard it would be to eat so little on your low calorie days.
Tell me what you think about this plan, please.
I've done TOPS and Weight Watchers years ago. Thanks.
I use a library computer. I'll read as much as I can today.

Good Day JUDDDers!!! Happy Tuesday!!!!!!!!!
Had to get up at 0'dark thirty to take my daughter to town and I did not eat before I left. BUT, I made it home before the Binge Monster could invade. I think the anti-acid medicine I took this morning helped a LOT! It is helping me in my healing, as well as the mint infusion I am drinking and the ginger capsules. I think I'm headed back to "normal" (whatever that is! )
Today is an UP day and I'm having salad and chicken and HB eggs. I'm headed over to ****** to make my plan. I'm shooting for 1500 cals and <40 carbs.
How is everyone doing today???

WELCOME Hickerson!
If you go back to the 1st post in this thread it tells ALL about JUDDD! I think it will answer your questions, but if not, please feel free to ask!
How often do you get to use the library computer?
We are so glad you joined us! Let us know if we can help you.

Annie - congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment, you should be SO PROUD of yourself!
hickerson - welcome, it is hard at first to eat so little when you start, but after you get into the groove you may be pleasantly surprised that it does get easier. As you go along you will find food choices that fill you up and keep you satisfied, especially if you're willing to experiment a bit in the kitchen.
SoHappy, have fun at work lol.
I forgot to take a picture this a.m. of my Ouizoid super-low cal muffin. It was pretty darned good...so far, not hungry for lunch, but if I do get hungry maybe I'll make another one to tide me over until dinner. If I do, I WILL take a pictures. But if I don't, I'll just try to remember on Thursday, my next DD. My current favorite version of this is lemon/vanilla and it comes in at under 50 calories.
RFL, I do hope you get the digestion issues figured out! I've always been fortunate in that regard.
Way too much time on my hands!
Hi, Guys! Home at last, tired but still doing well on my DD. Will have my salad with chicken in a bit, my last salad of the day. That will bring me up to 494 calories. If I need more before bedtime, I'll peel a couple of hard eggs and just eat the whites. Going to bed a bit earlier than normal maybe, so that would be a nice way to skip the egg whites. LOL I'm pretty determined to be down to my pre-company weight in the morning, if not below that, so I'll be trying to hold out against those egg whites!
Welcome, Hickerson! As RFL said, our first page and first post outlines just about everything you need to know about JUDDD and how to work it. Or actually, how to make it work for you! It couldn't hardly be a more simple plan in it's concept, and if you have already done a calorie counting plan in the past, you are familiar with that aspect of a weight loss plan. But we only hold the calories low on every other day or so. They're really, really low on that day, and that is sometimes a bit tough to adhere to, but in exchange for that, the calories are not *diet level* at all the next day. So that day, you're not on a diet at all, and I sure do like that aspect of JUDDD!
One of the good advantages of alternating your daily calories from a low level to a high level, back and forth, etc. is that your body in not inclined to slow the metabolism down. When calories are cut for weight loss, and then held there day after day, even if the calories aren't too low, just the fact that they are held down below the body's needs causes it to slow the metabolism some. That probably won't be a permanent situation, but I don't want it to happen to me at all, because I want my metabolism to help me burn fat stores as fast as possible.
We do our eating plan as a low carb plan as well. Although I'm more mid-range carbs when it is all averaged out. LOL
Hope you love it as much as I do. I'm absolutely wild about this plan because it works so well for weight loss, AND because I can eat anything I want to on the Up Days. Makes me happy.
Way too much time on my hands!
Good Morning, JUDDD Followers.
Racing this morning to get everything done around here and head out for the day! Doing an UP Day today.
Expected scale weight to be a bit lower this morning, after yesterday's DD, but it remains the same. I know scale weight doesn't follow the exact same UD-DD schedule as my calorie intake does, but I was hoping. But I don't waste any time fretting about it. It's pretty much an absolute for me that if I do JUDDD, the weight melts away. Not fast. But I can count on it as almost guaranteed. Glad it works that way for me! Hope it does for you all too!

UD for me today, too. I hit a new low this a.m. but don't want to change my stats yet, just to make sure it "sticks" - I am so psyched at how well things have been going DOWN this month for me!
I will need to adjust my rotation to accommodate a picnic on Saturday, so depending on how the scale reacts tomorrow a.m. to today's UD, I may make tomorrow a MD instead of my scheduled DD, and then Friday a DD so I can have my UD on Saturday - or if scale doesn't cooperate tomorrow, I'll do the DD tomorrow and MD on Friday.
SoHappy, I read an interesting post somewhere about water and fat cells, darn if I can remember right now where I saw it but if I do I'll point you to it - it basically seemed to be saying that sometimes we have lost fat from our fat cells but instead of our scale registering that loss, the body temporarily floods the newly emptied spaces in the fat cells with water, and then a day or so later releases that temporary water which is why we can experience "whoosh" drops on the scale. I am hoping that is what happened for me this a.m.!
Way too much time on my hands!
Just got home, tired and wondering what to fix us for supper tonight. Maybe BBQ chicken as I have some breast fillets that need to get cooked up.
Busy day again tomorrow, and another DD. On any DD that I have to work, I usually end up making that closer to a MD, but I'll see how it goes.
Way too much time on my hands!
Love my UP Days! BBQ chicken and bing cherries for supper. Last smidge of potato salad and baked beans. I eat *mostly* mid-range carbs, but this UD supper was generally higher than I usually hold myself to. Pretty darned good though, I have to admit! I really do appreciate the much higher levels of carbs I can eat and still lose weight when I follow the JUDDD plan. I don't always eat at that higher carb level, but I'm comfortable doing so occasionally.
I just cut up broccoli florets, onion, green pepper, carrots, and mushrooms for stir fry tomorrow. I'll add some bamboo shoots and General Tso's sauce. YUM! That makes a really nice amount of food on my plate but is low calorie for DDs. I'll have this tomorrow.
Hope all JUDDDers are doing well.
I love the flow of my days, lower range calories and then higher range calories, alternating back and forth. It feels very natural and satisfying. My appetite feels quite under control, and portion control is almost second nature with this plan for me.
I really like keeping myself aware of my daily needs for fuel and daily limits for fuel, and I'm appreciating this *being tuned in* feeling emotionally. Feeling absolutely great these days.
Way too much time on my hands!
I'll be having a DD today. Remarkably, weight is holding steady after yesterdays high carb Up Day.
I'll have a chocolate/coffee shake for breakfast later. Then have a huge veggie stir fry with homemade General Tso's sauce for a late lunch, and undoubtedly a big spaghetti dinner with the shirataki noodles, zucchini, onions & green pepper beneath the spaghetti sauce.
I expect today's calories to end up about 600, as I will be doing a house for the builder I work with. That's usually a full day of activity and often somewhat strenuous and tiring for an old gal. LOL
Hello to those who follow JUDDD. Hope you have a great day!
Way too much time on my hands!
Donna, waiting anxiously to hear whether your weight loss held in there this morning, or close enough after having the UD yesterday, that you know it will be there - or even lower - after today's DD?????
Kind of confusing when you have an UD on one day, then you weigh the next morning and maybe have a full gut still.. but it's a DD.. but your weight may be up from the day before.. LOL
I don't worry about it much, but it's funny to me anyway.

Hey there JUDDDers!
Darn, SoHappy, my mini-whoosh did not hold COMPLETELY - I had dropped 2 astonishing pounds, but one came back. That's okay, I know that once the scale dips down a bit it will make its way there permanently sooner or later. I'm a little bit ahead of where I wanted to be by today to meet my goal of hitting the 170s by July 1, so I'm very thrilled.
Yesterday ended up being a MD for me, and I'm going to do a UD (or possibly semi-higher MD) today, so I can do a DD tomorrow in anticipation of my UD picnic on Saturday. Yesterday, I just got to the end of the day and realized I hadn't eaten all that much, which meant SNACK TIME--and then I thought, what the heck, I've been trying to work out how to readjust for this UD on Saturday anyway so declaring yesterday a MD worked out fine. This paragraph sounds very confusing to me as I type it so I hope I am making sense lol.
I have to confess, I have been losing slowly but surely without making a concerted effort to count every calorie except on DDs. My UDs and MDs are going by my instinctive grasp of calorie counts (kind of embedded into my brain after so many years of dieting). If and when I stop losing, then I'll probably get more serious about monitoring exact calorie counts on UDs. My sense is that the alternating calorie levels are just what my system needs in that it can't adjust---previous attempts at steady low-calorie dieting simply meant my metabolism slowed to survival level. Ditto for low carb. This JUDDD - it's onward and downward, baby!
Way too much time on my hands!
Bummer that one of the pounds came back, but it'll melt back off too. You're doing wonderfully. You are inspiring me to remain excited about this, as opposed to becoming blase' about it. I take it for granted a lot of the time now, but I think I need to never forget just how exciting it is, and how effective with only half of the effort!
I think there are a lot of people who do JUDDD without doing any calorie counting on their Up Days. I pretty much have to count then too, or at least loosely keep track, because while I do maintain pretty good portion control these days, I tend to include a lot higher carbs in my weekly diet than many do, and that means I need to be a little extra careful.
I like eating this way. I've always loved my breads... So paying a bit more attention to even the UD calories is probably a good idea for me. LOL And for me, a pot roast wouldn't be the same without onions and carrots and potatoes. I guess a holdover from the pot roasts Mama made so many years ago for us. So delicious.
Way too much time on my hands!
Just a Hello to Hickerson if you are able to get online and here to read!
Hope you are finding a lot of good information on various weight loss plans and beginning to get a good feeling about what appeals to you and might be something you could be happy living with for a long, long time.
Of course, any plan will be just a little different from its weight loss level to its weight maintenance level, but still similar. So it's probably a pretty good idea to zero in on a plan that has features you really think make it a wonderful fit for you.
Certainly feel free to ask any questions you might be having right now.
Way too much time on my hands!
RFL!!! Missing you!
I know you have been really busy lately. Hope you are getting a lot of work done and that we'll be seeing you here soon.
Hope your DH is doing well.
Way too much time on my hands!
Good Morning. Friday, and the forecast is for partly sunny but with a chance of rain too later, so maybe I can get some outside work done before it turns wet. Not too hot.
I don't seem to be losing these last few days. Every time I do, and think I'm on the right track, the next morning I'm either still the same or up a fraction. LOL Nothing major, just not going down and then down a little bit more, and becoming true weight loss.
I was thinking this morning that there is nearly half of this month left. It's time to tighten up a bit and kick my JUDDD back into gear. I've been working for my builder friend just enough days lately that I'm turning those DDs into MDs or even higher, and that puts my calories right at maintenance level. Aaarrrgghhhh..... Plus a couple of my UDs got a little on the high side too. Hmmmm.... wonder if I'm beginning to detect my problem here?
So today will end up being yet another DD! I'll post food choices here in a bit.
Looking forward to hearing what you folks will chose for your days here too.
Way too much time on my hands!
What's for breakfast this morning?
Getting in some good work outdoors. Time to take a break for my first meal of the day.
Breakfast Menu: Here is my 100-calorie breakfast: 4 'flats' of egg white with 4 slices of a large tomato, at 4.5 oz. Mango-orange beverage to drink - 0 cals.
Used a non-stick pan with a burst of spray oil to cook the eggs.
****** says 101 calories, and that includes the spray oil! (It's actually a bit surprising to me that I can get a whole plate for food for that.)

About time for a late lunch. Work outside is going well.. weather is holding and a lot of mulch has been distributed. We'll need to run get more. But time to take a rest break right now...
Lunch menu: homemade cream of mushroom soup with saltine cracker halves, lettuce salad w/red pepper and cucumber, with raspberry vinaigrette dressing, iced tea to drink
****** says 99 calories. (201 calories total so far today) Love my JUDDD!

WOW...... SoHappy....those plates looks really good...but it doesn't seem to be enough food for me....kudos to you...your great!!!
Didn't do as well as i would of liked....i always start good but by the afternoon...there i go ..want more food not neccessarely need but WANT.....everyday i'll get up in the morning and i'll have a positive thinking of doing better for that day until i get there...
Have a great week-end
Way too much time on my hands!
I still have the late afternoon/early evening *snack platter*. And then my supper plate. And later in the evening my *dessert plate*.
I do OK for the most part on DDs, with little or no hunger pangs, as I space my food out and actually eat quite a bit before the entire DD is over.
And then I have my full calorie UD the next day, and enjoy the heck out of that!
I can hold the calories down for the one day. My problem has always been trying to hold my calories down day after day after day, like with a normal calorie-counting diet. I fold. But for just the one day, I can do it, so JUDDD is so perfect for me.
I just think you need more calories on your Down Days. I think some folks would do much better on it if they allowed themselves to have DD of 600, or 700, or even 800 calories. The weight loss still occurs, and it's an easier program for them to adhere to. And the weight loss still happens for them.
Way too much time on my hands!
Ready to relax and enjoy a snack on my Down Day. Time for my *snack plate* to tide me over until later in the evening when I eat supper.
Menu: turkey & low fat Swiss cheese roll-ups, yellow pepper strips, raw zucchini sticks, dill pickle strips, and chive mozzarella cheese curds, with iced green tea blend to drink
****** says 107 calories. (308 calories so far today.)
Way too much time on my hands!
Ahhhhhh........ Big sigh of satisfaction.
I just finished supper. A nice big plate of spaghetti. Such a pleasant meal.
Menu: shirataki noodles, both white and seaweed variety blended, with zucchini chunks and topped with 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce, sprinkled with Italian spices and grated parmesan cheese.. and 0 cal strawberry beverage to drink.
****** says 129 calories. (437 calories so far today.)

I've got to say i'm very impressed with your selections of foods....
You just encourage me to start that kind of eating starting monday..i've been reading the ABdiet book and that's exactly what they suggest,6 meals a day every two hours(smaller portions and i'll still going to count those calories,just to see how much i would consume)...and for me it seem like the right thing to do..that way i can't say i'm starving if i'm eating every 2 hours.....i'm really pump now...but for today and sunday,i'm going to get rid of all the junk food i've got in the house,make my DH eat them(LOL)..so i'll be clear to start on monday...and fill my pantry and fridge with more nutrional foods...
It's too bad we don't get Shirataki noodles,can't find that around here...
Later So Happy...have a great day!!!!
First day to a new me...seem to forget i'm a colon cancer survivor...every day should be lived as your last...

*Waves to all* Just got back from the store...Precooked shrimp 3 lb. frozen here for 15.99 mushrooms and green onions...gonna throw some together in a bit with some other low carb veggies and broth for a soup...toss in some glucomannan gel and shirataki. That will be breakfast...will have grilled boneless skinless chicken breast later. =/ yeah just a hunk'o meat no sides. I really really like MEAT! I like the flavor of plain cooked meats so I don't even season them...bit of an odd ball. Have a glucomannan shake with almond milk and some cherry flavor drops for later. Haven't figured the calories exactly yet but I'm sure I can bring it in under 500 for my first DD.
SoHappy...you can cook for me any time =))) Your meals really are an inspiration.
Way too much time on my hands!
In my refrigerator and pantry cupboard right now I have the following veggies:
lettuces (2 varieties)
peppers, red and yellow and green ones
bamboo shoots
canned: green beans
blackeyed peas
kidney beans
garbanzo beans
In my refrigerator and pantry cupboard and freezer I have the following fruits:
white grapes
bing cherries
dried cranberries
dried cherries
dried apricots
canned: apricots
coconut cream
cranberry sauce
frozen: blueberries
mixed berries
Then of course there are the jars of various pickles and olives.....
I keep the bags of various kinds of nuts and seeds, like sunflower seeds, in the freezer.
What I have on hand varies over the seasons, and I buy a lot at Farmer's Markets here too, in season. I just plainly like my veggies and fruits.
That's one of the BIG things I enjoy about doing the JUDDD plan! -- Since nothing is a no-no, and there is no list of acceptable foods and forbidden foods, I can work any foods into my diet as I desire, only counting the calories for it in my day's total.
I average a good solid mid-range/moderate carb level of eating. Much of the food I eat is very low carb, but I don't balk at enjoying a really high carb treat either!
Today, being an UP day for me, will include a little bowl if real ice cream!!! I'll really enjoy it. I had a coupon to Cold Stone Creamery, and bought a packed gallon of their ice creams. But I don't get this every day, and will still remain within a sane and sensible calorie level for the day. And I expect my weight loss to continue.

Have a great Down Day!
I have to fill my DDs with lots of vegetables as the mostly meat DDs just didn't keep me feeling full enough, and if I got too hungry, I was more inclined to eat a whole bunch more calories. If I can make my meals be heavy on the veggies, I tend to stay fuller. And then the following Up Days I make sure I get a whole lot of protein foods.
We all seem to do it a little different from each other, but whatever it takes for each of us is just fine. We even do different numbers of calories for our Down Days sometimes. Some keep it very low. Others are more able to *stick* with it if they don't always have to keep their DDs so low, so they choose a higher calorie number for their DDs. But that seems to works too.
Enjoy your fabulous soup!!!
Way too much time on my hands!
If you find that there is a market, let me know, and I'll photograph and post the package pictures so you can get all the info to pass on to the store.
It would be nice to have access to this stuff, since it's anywhere from 0 calories to just a few calories for the stuff, and it helps fill your belly without increasing your calories for the Down Days.
Let me know if you need more info.

Today is an UP DAY on the JUDDD plan.
Strangely, I'm often not very hungry in the morning following a good DD, and this morning was no exception. I enjoyed two big mugs of coffee with half & half, and that was quite lovely and satisfying until mid-day.
I decided to have a 'breakfast' meal for my lunch, so..
Menu: sausage patty (2 oz. squished out flat) and scrambled eggs of one whole egg and one egg white.. two pieces of toast (40-cal bread) with a tbsp. of butter and 2 tbsp. of reduced sugar black current jam! More coffee with half & half and a glass of 0 cal mango-orange beverage to drink.
****** says 561 calories, which includes the coffee w/creamer. Adding in the coffees I had this morning, it brings my calories for the day to 616 so far.

Does ****** have the low carb foods in it's database? I have a Nutritiondata.com account but it doesn't have a lot of things I use and it's not easy to put in special foods. I also use a Bodymedia Fit that I can log foods in but it also is lacking the nutrition info for a lot of things.

CrunchBang 10 "Statler" refresh R20111125
Although officially a version 10 refresh and still under the "Statler" moniker, the latest Crunchbang release constitutes some notable changes.
I first covered CrunchBang back in March. In brief, it's a lightweight desktop OS that uses Debian Stable 6.0 as its base. The biggest change in the latest refresh is that the developer has jettisoned the Xfce version in order to become a pure Openbox distro. I'm a fan of Xfce, but I welcome the decision of developer Philip Newborough aka corenominal. The truth is that there are other Xfce based distros to choose from such as my personal current favorite, Xubuntu. One of the biggest challenges for a smaller Linux distro is to carve a useful niche for itself, and if this helps him to hone the Openbox experience, all the better.
As before, when you first run a new installation of CrunchBang you are prompted to answer a series of questions about additional components such as the development tools and LibreOffice. By default, as ever, the theme is a dark one, but you can easily change this if it's not to your taste. I'm not going get into a drawn-out argument in the comments (see last time), but the window decorations have been changed, and I for one prefer the new design. Overall, the user interface feels fast and minimalist without feeling compromised. However, it isn't a clone of, say, Gnome, and I would advise anyone to have a play around with the Live CD before committing to an installation.
It's simple to enable compositing courtesy of either Xcompmgr or Cairo Composite Manager for fancy screen effects.
Other changes include:
• Firefox rather than Chrome
• LibreOffice rather than OpenOffice.org
• SLiM rather than GDM as the login manager.
• Programmer friendly Geany rather than Gedit
• Gigolo and Thunar are set up and ready to go and this means that network resources are can be easily browsed from the GUI.
In the announcement, we are informed that users already running Statler would be best advised to either stick with the version they have or to carry out a fresh install with the refreshed version due to differences under the hood. Being critical for a moment, I wish that the release naming scheme was a bit clearer, as the number of changes merit a point release.
In conclusion, it looks like Crunchbang won't fit all tastes but continues to offer enough uniqueness to merit consideration.
UK based freelance writer Michael Reed writes about technology, retro computing, geek culture and gender politics.
I ran the Xfce version of Crunchbang earlier this year, but ran the occasional Openbox session to experiment with it. Abandoning Xfce makes sense because I'm pretty sure most of the current Crunchbang community prefers Openbox. The switch to Firefox is regrettable from my perspective,but understandable. The version of Chromium that comes with Debian Stable is woefully out of date, requiring either pinning the version from Testing or making a special Chromium package for Crunchbang.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Theory lovers take note: the Winawer French, the Bayonet KID and more
'Hardcore theory' is what we sometimes call the most deep and complicated but at the same time traditional main lines of certain openings. Theory lovers shouldn't miss the most recent issues of ChessVibes Openings, in which the readers are updated on some of the most fascinating variations. Some examples:
Winawer French
Obviously we mean the sharp line 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.Qg4 Qc7 8.Qxg7 Rg8 9.Qxh7 cxd4 10.Ne2 dxc3 11.f4 Nbc6, and here it all starts! In CVO 185 editors IM Merijn van Delft and IM Robert discuss 12.Qd3 d4!? as played in Leko-Caruana, Dortmund 2012. Only a week later, in CVO 186 (published last Wednesday) the latest try by White is treated: 12.h4!? which Leko tried in the same tournament against Fabiano Caruana.
King's Indian, Bayonet
Suddenly the King's Indian is all the rage again, and the Bayonet Attack (9.b4) is still popular. Wang Hao-Bacrot was and important addition to the theory of Kramnik's new pet line 10.g3 and 12.Bf3, and is discussed in CVO 186.
Other lines that are discussed in this and last week's issues are the Scotch (4...Bc5), the Sicilan (2...Nc6 3.Bb5 d6), the Symmetrical English (5.g3 e5), the Caro-Kann Main Line (4...Bf5) and the Open Catalan (4.g3 dxc4 5.Bg2 Bb4+).
The latest novelties in your mailbox, every week!

What is ChessVibes Openings?
Every issue consists of a PDF Magazine and the accompanying PGN file. The PDF consists of four pages (A4 size) with the following contents:
- What's hot? A round-up of this week's important opening developments, with statistics about the frequence and score of the week's most important opening novelty (page 1)
- What's not? Which openings are not recommended at the moment, according to the top players? And why not? (page 1)
- Game of the week Each week you'll find the theoretically most important game analysed by our two IMs, with a detailed survey of the opening phase (page 2).
- This week's harvest Four more new important opening ideas from this week (page 3) revealed and described with explanation of the opening and early middlegame (page 3).
- It's Your Move An interactive element: every week two exercises, of which the solutions/explanations will follow one week later. This will improve your understanding of certain opening, middlegame or even endgame themes even further.
This week's issue: #186, July 25, 2012
ChessVibes Openings #186: The rise of Caruana Caruana won Dortmund because he had a higher number of wins than Karjakin (both scored 6 out of 9). Meanwhile the strong Biel tournament has started with Carlsen as the top seed. All about the Ruy Lopez, Anti-Berlin (4.d3) which was covered in our Game of the week Caruana-Kramnik, Dortmund 2012. Other lines that are covered:
- French, Winawer
- Caro-Kann, Main Line (4...Bf5)
- Open Catalan
- King's Indian, Bayonet

July 1, 2009: Eugene Manchester reviews ChessVibes Openings for ChessCafe
In the July 1 issue of ChessCafe's Book Review (mirror here) ChessVibes Openings was reviewed by Eugene Manchester. Some quotes: "So, who-ya-gonna-call? Opening busters? Not quite. For the reasonable price of 25 euros per year [now 28 - CV] , once a week you can receive intelligent, interesting opening surveys and analysis presented by a team lead by Dutch IMs Merijn van Delft & Robert Ris." "The format and presentation are consistently of high quality, with variety of coverage and opening analysis." "The cost per year is roughly equivalent to a good chess book. Each week you get a four- page issue packed with opening analysis, at least two thoroughly annotated games with one or more of that week's featured openings, a glimpse into the world of the latest opening novelties, in short, a quality weekly opening report."
May 7, 2009: GM Hedinn Steingrimsson reviews ChessVibes Openings for Chess Today
In issues 3103 (Thursday, May 7) of Chess Today, the daily chess newspaper which also comes into your inbox by email in PDF, ChessVibes Openings was reviewed by GM Hedinn Steingrimsson from Iceland. Some quotes: "What I like about ChessVibes Openings is their focus on the trend and discoveries that are revealed in super tournaments and by very strong players. It makes sense for all tournament chess players and opening theoreticians to follow these developments and getting an overview from ChessVibes Openings definitely saves time." "I find it positive that there is consistency in the openings covered so that the readers will with time have a certain repertoire available based on different theoretical articles from ChessVibes about e.g. the Anti-Moscow Variation." "For those that really want to find out how to get a better position out of the opening and are willing to enter complications and do some homework in order to succeed, ChessVibes Openings can be recommended."

The feasibility of an asteroid retrieval mission hinges on finding an overlap between the smallest NEAs that could be reasonably discovered and characterized and the largest NEAs that could be captured and transported in a reasonable flight time. This overlap appears to be centered on NEAs roughly 7 m indiameter corresponding to masses in the range of 250,000 kg to 1,000,000 kg. To put this in perspective,the Apollo program returned 382 kg of Moon rocks in six missions and the OSIRIS-REx mission proposesto return at least 60 grams of surface material from a NEA by 2023. The present study indicates that itwould be possible to return a ~500,000-kg NEA to high lunar orbit by around 2025.

Part of our best selling Metro bathroom tap and shower valve range, this Metro exposed thermostatic shower valve allows you to halt or control the flow of your shower, while the thermostatic controls allow for ultimate temperature performance. The simple yet stunning design has universal appeal, allowing the shower valve to compliment any modern slide rail kit.
Manufactured from Virgin Brass so it won't rust and dipped in chrome for a perfect finish, this thermostatic shower valve is built to stand the test of time. It also incorporates ceramic disc cartridges to ensure a longer maintenance-free operation (even in hard water areas).
This shower valve is suitable for medium-high water pressure systems (min. 1 bar). For installations where mains pressure exceeds 5 bar a pressure reducing valve should be fitted.
For added peace of mind, the Metro exposed thermostatic shower valve come with ceramic disc cartridges that are covered by a 12 month guarantee. This Metro shower valve perfectly compliments the rest of the Metro bathroom tap range, and can be coupled with our Minimalist accessories for those finishing flourishes.
