Magentagirl~ I'm so sorry. I hope you are okay, take the time you need. We are here.
WelcomeAll Newbies to JUDDD. I was a newbie last month and I can report an 15.5lb loss so far.
I agree with Leo, finding what works the best on your DD is key. It may take a few of them (DD's) to know what's working for you. My first DD was the hardest. I obsessed all day about food and calories, I thought I would starve, but I made it...after that I have been using a set menu. Two boiled eggs in the morning sometime between arising and 11:00 am., then a large romaine salad w/ 220 calories of chicken breast, red wine vinegar and some salsa. It's my "go-to" DD until I get tired of it. I eat what I want on UD's and so far I haven't had a problem with over-eating (except once and I was miserable). I have found that sometimes I eat until late in the the day, sometimes not, but the later I eat on an UD, the later I have eggs on the DD. My stomach is asking for way smaller portions than ever before. This is the best way of losing weight I have ever found. I lost and gained the same 5lbs throughout 2010. This weight loss with JUDDD is gone baby gone, and not invited back.
And yes, attitude is everything. I promised myself I wouldn't be a "miserable" dieter. I tell myself every other day that "I'm not hungry. I can wait a few more hours. I can have another cup of tea. I can feel my tummy shrinking. I feel great!" I am more motivated than I've ever been, but motivation alone doesn't do it. A good plan that works for me, fits my lifestyle, and makes me feel so much more alive and well...that's what does it. I'm convinced!

If at first you don't succeed, for heaven's sake don't give up!

Jean- I've followed your posts on the Main Lobby and wonder why you're doing something as restrictive as JUDDD when you admit that you're 'burned out' from dieting? JUDDD is no walk in the park![/QUOTE]
I still need to lose and in fact have gained a few back lately. JUDD sounds to me like the perfect plan for someone like me who is burned out since I only need to restrict every other day.

Yes, that does make sense, Jean. One reason I do JUDDD is that I can't lose unless I severely restrict calories, and trying to do that on a daily basis was really, really frustrating.
Being able to eat 'normally' on UDs is very, very helpful, I've found.
Big Yapper!!!!
Thanks Leo. I think I have made it through my first DD and feel a little hungry but not too bad. I am a bit confused about the UD and calories. I used the calculator at the ADD website and it has you figure your cals for UD and DD??
ETA: Never mind I think I understand the UD more clearly after doing more reading.

First DD is almost over and I'm going to make it! I might have had a little over 500, but not sure. If I did, it was just barely. I had one bowl of soup that I had made a while back, and I can't tell how many calories are really in a bowl. It has sausage, kale, onion, cauliflower, garlic, chicken broth and many spices. I estimated 200 for an average sized bowl.
Other than that, I've had a cup of herbal tea with liquid splenda, some pumpkin seeds, chicken broth (from a box), and two International Foods French Vanilla coffees. Drinking plenty of water, too.
I started feeling a little frantic and obsessing about food around dinner time, for some reason. It was like I was beginning to panic over what there was for me to eat that wouldn't put me over my limit. But it passed after I ate that bowl of home made soup. I just hope I can sleep after drinking these late-day coffees!
It's so freeing to be able to drink something that has sugar in it! Tomorrow I will go shopping and stock up on lots of yummy things, but especially things that are low calorie so that I'm prepared for those DD's. I'll buy more of those coffees, too! Yum.
I weighed this morning, and recorded it in my ticker. I can't wait to record the losses from here on out! Tomorrow will be fun, eating freely without going overboard. Yippee!
Blonde, that is an awesome loss for one month! You must be jumping for joy. (What do people call you?)
Have a great night, ladies. See you tomorrow! So glad to be on this journey with all of you.
I have come to the decision that there is no such thing as a destination.

My diet or down day didn't work well today. I got very little sleep last night so I wasn't at my best today. I was hungry at work and stressed (never a good combination) and started to eat almonds. I had an Atkins bar on the way to my Mom's for dinner, by then I sort of gave up. That happpens to me sometimes, I just try to go with the flow and pick up again the next day. I'll do a down day tomorrow.

Cheryl- If you want to do the plan as promoted by Dr. Johnson, it's critical to be at 500 cal for every DD for the first two weeks. That's why he advocates shakes--i.e., he believes that most people overestimate their calories.
Personally, I can't handle shakes and have always had real food--BUT I never eat anything on a DD unless I know the exact calorie count. With so few calories allowed, it is so very easy to eat over one's limit. My solution is to avoid all 'recipes' on DDs and eat as basic as I can--e.g., egg whites, tuna, etc.
vee- A lot of posters here have had trouble getting the hang of DDs but usually manage it after a few tries. However, if you had a really low calorie day yesterday (but not officially a DD), it might be better to follow with an UD and try the DD next. That's because it's easier to do a DD when it follows a day of more 'normal' eating.
Big Yapper!
You're right, Leo. I should not have had that soup, I suppose. But I did my first DD before I went shopping for new food choices. I could have waited to start JUDDD, but I think I did very well. If anything, I overestimated the calorie count and ended up under that 500 limit. I just count everything, including 5 calories for the herb tea. But I will be extremely meticulous in the future on my DD's. Thanks for the help. I totally agree with you and understand the importance of playing by the rules.
I woke up before 4 am today, so I'm waiting until a normal hour to begin my UD. I want to keep things in balance.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning!
Off to Wk today is an up. I have tons of food to keep me on track today. All lean meats and veggies. I also made an oatmeal pancake for snack if I get hungry.
I agree down days may take time to get use to. It really is a trial and error.
Cheryl.... Try to stay below 500. The first two weeks it's really important. U will get the hang of it now that u shopped. I sometimes get anxious too about what I am going to eat. I try to remember that the next day I can eat. It sometimes help to k ow I will not starve and next day is always an up

Keep in mind that the 500 cal limit on DDs is not just for 'playing by the rules.' According to Dr. J, that restriction will activate the SIRT1 gene that provides healthful benefits from this program. If you're only interested in weight loss, that might not be really important. Some people here think that it 'spurs' weight loss, but I don't recall Dr. J making any claims for it in that regard.
The only 'scientific' study that he reported is evidence that it helps heal asthma. Interestingly, we had a poster with emphysema who had not read the book and didn't know about the asthma study. She reported that after a month on JUDDD, she was using less of her meds and was able to quit her inhaler totally. She didn't know why because that had never happened with weight loss previously.
So there may be many 'hidden' health benefits to JUDDD, and that's the reason for the restriction for the first 2 weeks. We've had some people only interested in weight loss who regularly had 600-800 cal DDs and still lost well--they weren't interested in this mysterious gene.
Way too much time on my hands!
Hi, Everybody! I see there are new JUDDDers with us and everyone is off to a great start in 2011. I think this is going to be a great year and full of accomplishment!!!
I had a *brain fart* and Leo had to come rescue me... I forgot there would be a new thread for the new month (and year), and I was still over in the December thread.. (duh) wondering where everyone was. I finally decided everyone must be too busy from the Holidays to post. I feel like the little laggard who wasn't paying attention and looked up to find the rest of the party had gone on, and absent-minded little laggard was now alone and lost. I can only blame my temporary memory loss on too many carbs over the Christmas/New Years period. LOL
I was tickled to hear that you are now down in the 150s, Leo. Congrats. Breaking into another weight level always feels encouraging.
I think all of you JUDDD newbies are going to love this. This way of eating is so easy to adapt to however dieting, weight management, and nutrition seems to work the best for you. If you want to keep to low or lower carb, that's great. If you long to add in some of the higher carb foods, you can manage that too. If you don't much like fruits and veggies, this will work, and if you LOVE fruits and veggies, this will still work well. Geez! It's just so easy and adaptable. I love it!
Had a pretty good DD yesterday, just hot tea so far today.. waiting for DH to get home from his workout this morning and then we'll go up to the little French place for breakfast. Great coffee and absolutely wonderful pastries. Did you know it takes TWO DAYS to make a Croissant correctly?
Well, I'm incorporating the FlyLady program of home management, so I'm off to get started for the day. Have a great day, Everyone!

Good morning all! I made it through my first DD without too much of a problem. I usually do very well until after the evening meal and then I want too snack. I just have to figure a way of keeping myself busy during that time period. Now its time to get working. Have a blessed day all!

Well, yesterday's DD started out fine, but didn't end well. I had my "regular" dinner along with a protein bar.
I will have a moderate UD today to keep to my schedule. I am sore from my workout yesterday, but a good sore! Today is a day off of exercise.
I'm excited to see the new faces!!

I only work out on UDs (and Dr. J recommends that as well). Exercising on DDs can stimulate appetite too much, IMO.
Of course, you can consider adding in the calories you 'burned' during exercise, but I find that much too unreliable to determine for myself (I have an exceedingly slow metabolism, so there's no real way to determine how many calories I can count for working out--if any).

Good morning, all! Today's a DD for us. I'm still working out 'perfecting' our UD's. I'm going to focus a little better on what we eat on those days.
My DD's are easy as I am having Atkins shakes. Satisfying and easy to count.
About the 500 rule. Am I confused? When I went to the JUDD website, I did the formula and my UD count is about 2123, my DD is 425. Bill's is 2574 UD and 515 DD. So it varies some according to age, gender and activity and weight. Right?

Morning everyone!
I am down a half pound after my DD. I still feel (and look) incredibly bloated but I know that the pain meds aren't helping with that. I wasn't so great about my water intake yesterday, but I'm doing better today on that.
I did okay with my DD until last night when I got really hungry and then when I woke up this morning I felt awful. I feel better now that I've had my coffee and I'll be eating a bit later on (since I'm not hungry anymore).

Thanks for the advice, Leo, but yesterday really was more of a regular day than a down day, so I'm pretty sure I'm good for a down day today. I can usually tell if I'm going to have a good down day or not by mid-morning and I can tell better how I'm feeling. I usually don't have any trouble keeping to my MWF schedule for down days, but sometimes I do and I just compensate by shifting the schedule over a day or skipping it and getting back on schedule.
I can never make a Saturday a real down day, it's date night with DH and we always go out for dinner, but I can fast until then and enjoy a moderate deficit day on Saturdays. Sometimes that works just as well, two real down days, a moderate deficit day and then the other maintenance days.
I don't really call my up days, up days. I know it's semantics, but it doesn't sound right to me. I've been calling them maintenance days, so I eat as if I'm in maintenance. No sugar, no wheat and only 1-2 small portions of starchy vegetable or whole grain, but I eat regular portions and if I'm hungry I can snack a little. My Saturday night date nights are my free meal once a week where I can have a little bread or pasta or sugar if I want them, but only in that one meal a week.
My blog - Find Your Own Weigh
Big Yapper!
I love how active this thread is, and how friendly you all are! Bless you.
I went shopping today and I'm pooped. Six stores later, my pantry, frig, and freezer are stocked like they haven't been in over a year (since I've been on Atkins.) It looks like somebody else lives here! I spent nearly all the money I had budgeted for food and drink for the month, but I'm all set and next month, many of those things will still be around.
Leo, I want it all! Not just weight loss. Like you, I am postmenopausal and hypothyroid (Hashimoto's.) I take meds for BP, a beta blocker, sleep aid, anti-depressant, etc. When my weight is up like it is now, my hands feel arthritic and stiff. I have chronic back pain (upper and lower spine) and my hips ache from Osteopenia (oh yeah; forgot Fosamax for that, too.) So, I want to drop not only weight but YEARS. I want to feel as close as I did to when I was in my late 20's as I can get. I want my life back!
I see what you all are talking about in regard to monitoring your calories on your UD's, too. I am doing it automatically, and I can see that it's not only good practice (for someone who has only been concerned with carbs for so long,) but it's also great to be totally aware of what I'm taking in. When I weigh-in, I'll be able to see the results and adjust something, until I get the results I "crave." I'm weighing everything on a postal scale and using Fit Day to track everything. (I love Fit Day.)
So now it's time to crawl into some comfy PJ's and read a good book. So far, I feel great. I know this is going to be so much easier to do, and still live in the real world. Atkins was always such a headache, unless I was home alone. No more packing special foods and drinks with me when I go for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner! I can eat Smores when we go camping! I only hope and pray that I can lose weight on this plan. Reading about all of your successes inspires me so much!
Way too much time on my hands!
That's wonderful, Dasiey! So happy to hear your good report, and I know you are feeling great about it. Thanks for reporting that.
I agree with you that this restricted calorie way of eating should be very healthy. I truly believe that there are many people in North America and many, many countries in the world these days, who are eating themselves to death! It doesn't happen immediately.. but year by year, bit by bit, the body is overcome by poor nutrition at the same time it is being assaulted by the burden of fat it has come to labor under.
That's why I am resolved to never gain above where I am right now, and to even lose a bit more before springtime warms my bones again. AND why I think it is really important to pay attention to overall nutrition now. I am now cutting out a certain amount of food in order to reach the lower calorie levels this plan calls for, especially on the Down Days, so I think it is important to make very certain that I don't skimp on my very real nutritional needs. ****** is a big help for me on that. So is a multi vitamin.
Glad you posted. Continued good health on JUDDD.

Great news, dasiey!!! I'm so glad this is working so well for you.
Mona-Yes, the calorie "allowance" for JUDDD depends on size and activity level, etc. Keep in mind that although your husband's DD # is over 500, he should stay at 500 for the first 2 weeks of DDs if possible.
You should also understand that for most of us, the UD calorie allowance is a fiction. I could never lose weight on that number, and somewhere I read (either on his website or in the book) that Dr. J admits as much. He gives an UD number for 'guidance' but says most people have to find their own level. We had people on this board stuffing themselves to try to eat to that UD number, so that's why I'm mentioning it.
Valerie- I call them UDs out of habit, but they're really more "maintenance" days for me, too. I rarely eat more than 1200-1400 calories on an UD, and I focus on getting as much nutrition out of those calories as possible.
Cheryl- I hope this works as well for you as it has for me, since we're so similar. I, too, have Hashimoto's, but the difference between us is that my thyroid hormones (synthroid and cytomel) are the only Rx meds I take!
I don't know whether it's the weight loss, my WOE (very primal with no dairy, grains, sweeteners), or the effect of JUDDD, but I have severe osteoarthritis and take nothing at all--and have very, very little pain these days. My BP, cholesterol, etc. are all fine.
In fact, I was seriously considering double-knee replacement, but the last time I saw the surgeon, he agreed that I seemed to be doing just find as is (I'm limited, but I've accepted those limitations, since I was never one to climb mountains.)
Keep in mind that I lost ALL my weight post-menopause, so it can be done!
Big Yapper!!!!
Hi everyone
Just checking in have done one DD and one UD today. I didn't overeat today on my UD just comfortably full which is a nice feeling. I am not looking forward to DD tomorrow but am not really dreading it either as I feel better already. Have a great evening everyone.

I have osteoarthritis and asthma and allergies. I haven't been doing JUDDD down days of 500 calories or less, but I may just try that sometime when I have two weeks of time that would work well for it (not now, year end at work and it's stressful, I know better than to try to restrict my eating too much right now). I'd like to see if I get any significant improvement in my symptoms with the traditional JUDDD.
My down day today was great! No problems whatsoever and I'm feeling strong and energetic. Today was a gym day and I was feeling stronger than usual. Upped my weights on a couple of exercises and hit 2 full minutes on my plank for the first time ever!
Way too much time on my hands!
It does take a little while to retrain your brain to be comfortable on such low calories, but pretty soon it doesn't even question that calorie level much, and you will begin to enjoy the *sleek* feeling in your belly.
If you can just tough out the first few DDs (which are admittedly hard sometimes) you will get quite used to it, and then will come your success!

Learned a lesson today. Our DD. I had eaten about 100 calories only when I left the house to run errands. This was about 3pm. Afer being 'out there' a couple of hours, I had to get something to eat because I felt sick a little. I should have had something before I went.
I ate about 400 calories of a 6" subway sandwich. I didn't get to eat the full 6" because it would be too high in calories. Low fat, no mayo or oil, just meat, vegs and some of the bread. Diet coke. Made me feel better, but left me with no calories left for later in the day. Still, I stayed good for a DD.
You do have to be prepared on the DD's. 500 calories is not a lot of food. I usually just have Atkins shakes. I'll be better prepared next time.
Tomorrow is an UP. But, I'm going to work on eating very healthy choices, not too much.

Mona- In my experience, planning is the key to all weight loss! But it's especially true for DDs. There aren't many calories to 'play around' with. I always have my foods planned in advance (including how I will manage if I have work, errands, etc. that will take me from home). I guess my obsessive personality works well with JUDDD
Jean- As others have posted, the DDs become 'easier' to deal with once you see the benefits. I've often been tempted to 'give up' and skip a DD by eating more, but I don't because I have experienced their value in my WOE. I plan to continue DDs (at I hope a slightly higher calorie level) for maintenance. And after a while, they do become 'normal'--at least they have for me.

No two weeks' worth of blog scheduling, especially when we've been having fun exploring the bizarre developments in science and technology that we have the previous week, would be complete without talking about that strange rock on Mars that in one picture taken by NASA, wasn't there, and then, later, suddenly was there. Indeed, so many of you sent me various versions of this story that not to talk about it would be a kind of error of omission.
I won't even bother trying to summarize this strange story, since the following article does that more than adequately. It does, however, remind me of the line of Shakespeare, which if I may be permitted a slight adjustment, that 'there are more things than are dreamt of in our cosmology." In this case, the "more things" are that rock that wasn't there in one NASA picture taken by the Mars rover Opportunity, and then, a little later, was there:
Mystery Rock 'Appears' in Front of Mars Rover
As the article makes clear, even Never A Straight Answer(NASA) is saying this "rock" looks like a jelly doughnut, which raises the question of just what did Krispy Kreme know, and when did it know it(and when did the Martian franchise open?)
Now when I first heard about this story, the first thing that crossed my mind was a similar episode, a few years back, when a Martian rover had suddenly and inexplicably just "died." Never A Straight Answer told the rest of the world that its solar panels had become so laden with Martian dust that it simply ran out of electrical power, and the little robot had died. Requiascet in pace. But then the little rover inexplicably sprang back into life(so we were told), as its solar panels were suddenly clear of dust. The problem here was, if I recall correctly, that there was no Martian wind storm to blow the dust off, and in any case, even if there was one of those periodical Martian wind storms, it would have blown as much dust back on to the panels as it blew off. Which left the Windex Hypothesis, namely, that some Marvin the Martian had very obligingly cleaned our solar panels for us so we could continue to explore his (uninhabited) planet. A hypothesis about as believable as the dust storm explanation.
Of course, there's always the possibility that Never A Straight Answer simply concocted the "it died of dust" story so they could go roaming about the Martian surface snapping pictures secretly.
This brings is back to the jelly doughnut rock and Krispy Kreme's Incredible Martian Adventure.
Now, I love jelly doughnuts in general and Krispy Kreme's doughnuts in particular, but I'm not travelling all the way to Mars for one, and I doubt NASA did, or is, either, which brings up my personal difficulties with this whole story.
We are faced with three basic logical possibilities:
- The rock wasn't really there at all, and Never A Straight Answer and the National Reconnaissance Office photoshopped the picture and put a rock in it, having a bit of social-engineering psyop fun at everyone else's expense, and frankly, given their track record, I personally wouldn't put anything past them, but here, my intuition says otherwise, for reasons I'll get to presently;
- The rock really wasn't there and someone outside of NASA photoshopped the picture;
- The rock wasn't really there, and then really was.
Now, when one reads the various versions of the story, it seems apparent that the NASA scientists were as surprised and, reading between the lines a bit, perplexed, as everyone else. It's the why of that perplexity that's important, for they are faced with the last two alternatives: either someone was playing with them(Alternative Two), or, much more significantly, the rock wasn't there, and then it was(Alternative Three, and forgive the pun)…
… and although I can think of a thousand quasi-scientific waffles to explain it (I would not want to be the PhD appearing before the cameras to "explain" the rock by whatever official waffle was selected as the "nothing to see here, move along folks" government explanation), in the final analysis it comes down to a simple though breathtaking proposition: someone put it there (See the Windex Hypothesis).
It's when one contemplates the implications of "someone put it there" that one sees the real source of the perplexity, for that someone perforce has to be either (1) someone else from Planet Earth, and thus to that extent we're looking at some evidence of someone's "secret space program," or (2) someone from somewhere else than Planet Earth placed the rock there, thus reassuring us that they have a bit of a sense of humor.
In my mind's eye, I see that calm scientist with big innocent owl-like eyes, calmly pivoting his head back and forth and blinking slowly like an owl at the assembled press corps, calmly explaining to us that the rock wasn't calmly put there by anyone, not even by another country's secret and unannounced but very calm Martian robot rover, and that current calm thinking is that the jelly doughnut rock may simply have calmly tumbled onto the scene because of "hitherto unknown Martian geophysical activity" or that it was an exceptionally light jelly doughnut, and calmly blew there on some errant but calm Martian breeze, or there's always the calming possibility that the whole thing may be some prankster's innocent and utterly calming practical joke of a rock calmly photoshopped into a picture…
Remain calm everyone, and calmly move along, there's nothing to see here…
It's either that, or the roosters are crowing.
See you on the flip side.

This early-1940s-vintage film is a time capsule of the Lockheed Aircraft Co. at a key moment in its history. The company was just at the beginning of its war-driven growth trajectory. The film focuses on Lockheed's commercial division. It highlights the Model 18 Lodestar airliner, and offers only a glimpse of the hundreds of Hudson bombers — the Lodestar's military variant — then in production. Meanwhile, the P-38 Lightning — "a man-made comet!", the narrator says — makes a cameo appearance at the end. If you look closely, I think you see actual footage of legendary designer and Skunk Works founder Kelly Johnson in a wind tunnel at the 14-minute mark.

I love my mother very much and I just not understand her. Why does she think I am 12? She gets so depressed and she takes the depression out on me. This my sound hurtful and heartless but its not meant to be. If you know anything about me I travel alot; I currently live in Tennessee. One of my reasons for moving away is my mother. She makes me feel bad about things: eating, sleeping, talking, going out with my friends. She wants me to be as depressing as she is.
My life in Tennessee is very much different then the one I had and are having here. I try to tell her and show her. She really stresses me out. One of my new rules is that one day a week I forcus just on myself. I don't talk to people, I don't visit, I write in my journal, I read, I exercise, I pray. I do me stuff to make me a better person. It my brain time to refresh with out everyday things get in the way. So the phone rings, my mom turns to me and says its your friend, I don't want to talk. She answers the phone and hands it to me. I get off the phone and look at her. Why would she answer? She doesn't answer except to say I am selfish.
I just want to be left alone.
Well I have lost 4 pounds from the 1st to the 7th. I am very excited. I am going to do it. I just have to keep up on my exercise. Its just hard because I hate exercising in front of my mother. She loves me but I am not going to do that in front of her. She said she is going out to the store so that will give me at least 20 minutes on the bike. Maybe she be gone for about an hour that would rock.
My grandmother is doing well. She had breast cancer and now she is recovering. Yesterday, she had a fever and the shakes but she is good. I love her very much.
My sister and I are still not talking. We had a fight before she left and I said I was sorry but she still acting childish. Whatever, at least I know that I made the frist, and the second move (I called her up last night but she didn't want to talk)
Well thats it for now.
I woke up this morning at 4:30 to take grandma to the hospital. We go there at 6 am. Tired but ready. My dad was so nervous. The surgury was for 8 am but the postponed it until 10:30 because of paperwork.
She finally got it done found out she also had cancer under her arm. So now she is in the hospital for the night and she is sassy as ever. Tomorrow hopefully we will be able to bring her home.
My grandmother is going in for her breast cancer surgury tomorrow. So for the last two days we have seen like 10 different doctors to get the okay. My grandmother is very nervous and to be honest I am nervous for her too. I don't want her to know that or the rest of my family.
This is my dad's mother and i can see it in his eye that he is scared.
My grandmother is not all there in her head so my parents get to say what is best for her. She is 75 years old and the most beautiful women I have ever known. She is sassy and smart. She is a great cook.
I pray she is okay because I don't know what i would do about my grandma. So tonight I will be in praying.
Well I decide to have a fresh start to my fresh new year. Got on the scale today I gained weight for 2 months ago. Its okay I will start again. One of these days I will get it.
Two and half months ago I was doing real good. I had a job I loved and working out everyday and even talking about getting married.
Two months ago I was laid off and lost my inspiriation to workout and eating right which met that I didn't want to be in a wedding dress much less dream about one.
Today, okay I was set back about 20 pounds but I can do it this time...I am older and wiser. I am taking the cleanzer my mom got me and cleaning my body and on the 4th I will start again on my diet.
I am going to be the biggest loser of 2007

Terry Jones will forever be identified as a member of the outrageous British comedy troupe, Monty Python's Flying Circus. He's the man who delivered the magical line "Spam, spam, spam!" In recent years, Jones has become somewhat of an expert in medieval history and authored several books on the subject. But don't think the humorist has abandoned any of his silly sensibilities. Jones says that Python's surreal humor was often best played in a historically accurate setting, as in the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian. His new History Channel series, Terry Jones' Medieval Lives, tells the true stories behind many of the iconic medieval myths of the past. Informative and witty, the show proves that, despite what your teachers might have said, you can laugh and learn.

The Tekken series is getting the CGI cinematic treatment. During Namco Bandai's Level Up conference in Dubai, the studio graced its audience with a trailer for Tekken: Blood Vengeance, a 3D animated film featuring demure schoolgirls, deadly mechs, flying pandas and a whack of Tekken characters engaged in balls-to-wall death matches. True, we really have no idea what the hell this movie is about, but damned if doesn't look badass.
Tekken: Blood Vengeance will hit theaters by way of Digital Frontier, the producers behind Resident Evil: Degeneration. The film is written by Dai Sato of Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex fame, and directed by Youichi Mouri, the talent behind Tekken 5 and 6's opening CGI cinematics.
Tekken's executive producer Katsuhiro Harada wouldn't part with specific plot details, but he did say the film will follow established Tekken canon, and tell a story which takes place between Tekken 5 and Tekken 6. He also revealed the movie was being made in close consultation with the Tekken development team, and that it will employ many of the game's original voice actors.
Tekken: Blood Vengeance is being released with English and Japanese voice-overs, and is scheduled to receive a theatrical run this summer. Namco promises to divulge more about the project at E3.

The film teams the veteran filmmaker and heartthrob with young Shia LaBeouf, and is a political thriller...
A touching narrative that seeps into the modern subconscious
the somewhat dated execution will limit its appeal
A live action re-enactment of Peter Griffin battling the Giant Chicken on "Family Guy"!
No one is safe.

Hi, We have always had issues with jobs getting stuck while spooling on the server. Recently we got a new server and all the printers changed from HP to DELL. I thought this would fix the problem but at least 3 times a day I am having to stop the spooler service, delete all jobs from the spool drive and start the spool service.
This seems to be completely random and not a particular computer / software issue. A computer that has been printing all day can all of a sudden be the one that has caused the above issue.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Also, I was thinking it might be a good idea to move the spooler (for testing) away from the server and have all jobs spooled at the client machines. Is this possible.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A Memphis police sergeant who was named Tennessee Narcotics Officer of the Year for 2006 is charged with selling illegal anabolic steroids.
Sergeant Brady Valentine also is charged with tipping off drug dealers about surveillance and investigations.
The 36-year-old officer was indicted yesterday and relieved of duty after a federal complaint was unsealed.
The complaint was based on information from informants, wire taps and taped conversations.
Valentine was honored by his department earlier this year for an interstate drug bust that netted 4.5 pounds of black-tar heroin that led to charges against 80 people in seven states.
He was named the state's top narcotics officer last month at the Tennessee Narcotics Officers Association annual convention in Gatlinburg.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Score: 72
This "charming historic port town" treats visitors to an old quarter that has "preserved its sprit and character." Petty street crime is the only major drawback.
Here is a representative sampling of additional anonymous comments from the panelists. They are not necessarily the views of the National Geographic Society:
"A thriving place. Your first thoughts will almost certainly be that it is much larger than you expected. The old town has preserved its character and spirit well. The fishermen still head off to sea each day, and the locals still drink in the cafes. It is now popular with kite-surfers, but this does not seem to be having a negative impact."
"Pride in culture is evident and expressed. There is a need to watch out for petty street crime, however."
"A unique blend of old and new makes for inconsistencies with regards to environmental concern and development. Street crime is the greatest concern to visitors."

Australia Florin 1953 to 1963
Australia florins with Elizabeth's portrait are made out of 0.18 troy ounces of silver. As such, they carry value due to precious metal content. To compute the basic value of one of these coins, find the current price of silver at kitco.com and multiply by 0.18. For instance, at this writing silver is running at $27 US dollars per troy ounce, so a florin contains 0.18 x 27 = $4.86 US dollars of silver. Tomorrow the value will be different, since the price of silver changes every day. Look it up.

Sights unseen: Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota would be among the five national parks in the state that would be closed in the event of a government shutdown.
Photo: Jackie Crosby, Star Tribune
WASHINGTON - As budget talks in Congress stood at an impasse Tuesday, federal workers and contractors across Minnesota began bracing for a government shutdown looming as early as Friday at midnight.
Mail and Social Security checks would still get delivered, along with other "essential" services, such as medical care at the Minneapolis Veterans Medical Center.
But Minnesota's five national parks and recreation areas would close and some of the state's largest institutions and businesses could see grants and contracts interrupted by a federal funding lapse.
How much depends on partisan differences that are pitting the Obama administration against GOP leaders in the U.S. House, where a Tea Party faction that includes Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann is pressing for deeper cuts.
Facing a potential shutdown with uncertain political consequences, Bachmann downplayed the consequences should the two sides fail to reach a deal or bridge a gap of tens of billions of dollars for the fiscal year that ends in September.
"There is no such thing as a true government shutdown," Bachmann said at a Tea Party rally on Capitol Hill last week. "If government shuts down, it's actually a slowdown."
One twist that has received little attention in the budget debate is that state businesses could feel the shutdown before the public does.
From the University of Minnesota to Rochester's Mayo Clinic, federal contractors and large institutions here rely on hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts. That money would stop flowing after Friday.
"In a nutshell, any shutdown of the federal government would have a negative impact on the University of Minnesota," said Daniel Wolter, a spokesman for the university, which received $800 million in competitive research grants last year, most of which were federal.
A brief shutdown would cause only a ripple, Wolter said. In a protracted shutdown, he said, "the cash flow problem gets larger."
Students face less of a problem. Virtually all of the university's spring financial aid has been dispersed. Students who want to change their aid could be affected. But Wolter said "there are a range of options for dealing with these kinds of wrinkles, so it's fair to say it would amount to more of a hassle than anything else."
Planning ahead
Mayo officials are keeping an eye on research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It accounts for 41 percent of Mayo's research budget.
"Mayo Clinic has developed detailed contingency plans," said Randy Schubring, Mayo's government relations spokesman. "We are confident that if a short-term shutdown does occur, it will not affect day-to-day research operations."
Prominent Minnesota businesses such as 3M, Cargill and Medtronic have contracts worth tens of millions of dollars for medical technology, research and military equipment. One of the state's biggest military contractors, Champlin-based Deco Inc., with more than $100 million in security contracts this year, is preparing for the worst.
"We enter our contracts knowing the government has the right to reduce or eliminate services anywhere in the world on a moment's notice," said Deco president and co-owner Derek Dorr. "If Deco is required to reduce services, we in turn reduce workforce."
If history serves as a guide, it's unlikely that a furlough for the state's estimated 10,000 federal workers will produce much savings for taxpayers.
Jane Nygaard, a retired VA nurse who went through the last government shutdown in the mid-'90s, said that in the end, even those non-essential government workers who were shut out of work for three weeks got all their pay.
"When the furlough was done, everyone got paid, whether you worked or not," said Nygaard, now national vice president for the American Federation of Government Employees District 8, which includes Minnesota.
Still on the job
Not only that, but after subtracting essential workers such as nurses, air-traffic controllers, meat inspectors, prison guards and border patrol agents, a big chunk of the federal bureaucracy stays in operation.
"Everyone talks about downsizing the federal government," Nygaard said. "But when you really talk about cutting services, all these agencies do things people take for granted."
Among the most conspicuous effects of a shutdown would be the shuttering of the national parks.
"We would just cease operations, which would include, most visibly, our visitor center," said Paul Labovitz, superintendent of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area.
After a half-dozen, stop-gap funding measures since last October, Minnesota lawmakers in Congress were also making plans to stay in Washington over the weekend -- a sign there may be no deal by Friday.
"The speaker's got himself in a bind," said Minnesota Democrat Tim Walz, referring to Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. "I think they're gonna shut 'er down."
Meanwhile, Minnesota Republican John Kline, a close ally of Boehner, expressed his frustration at an impasse over just six months' worth of federal funding -- the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year. With an eye toward 2012's even bigger potential spending cuts, Kline said, "that's where the real debate is."

LMI Aerospace, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LMI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMIA) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2010.
Third Quarter 2010 Highlights
- Sales of $52.3 million, down from $58.7 million the prior year, and down from $55.9 million in the second quarter 2010.
- Free cash flow of $4.7 million, resulting in payoff of revolving credit balance.
- Gross margins up from the prior year, but down from the second quarter of 2010 because of front end cost on a new program in our Mexicali facility.
Third Quarter 2010 ResultsSales for the third quarter 2010 decreased 11.0 percent to $52.3 million, from $58.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. The Aerostructures and Engineering Services segments each experienced declines in sales when compared with the prior year quarter. Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, down from $2.8 million or $0.25 per diluted share in the 2009 period. "Sales for our Aerospace segment were below expectations and resulted from delays in shipment of Boeing 747-8 components and assemblies due to a slide in the introduction date for this aircraft, as well as a temporary decline in orders for Boeing 737 products," said Ronald S. Saks, Chief Executive Officer of LMI. "In addition, sales of Gulfstream G450 and G550 products were down because of a planned two-week shutdown in July and due to delays in receipt of orders for new work that commenced in the second quarter of 2010. We do expect shipments for these models other than the Boeing 747-8 to return to normal production rate levels in the fourth quarter of 2010. Also, we expect a combination of awards recently received for military and large commercial aircraft products business should result in higher sales at our Aerostructures segment in 2011," Saks said. "Although sales at our Engineering Services segment were in line with expectations, we anticipate that a combination of new customer awards, including work on the HondaJet, Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350, and expected awards on some major industry programs should also improve sales in 2011 for this segment. "

Color Allure - Emerald Diamond Ring
Ever wonder what is the origin of the expression "green with envy"? Well, it seems that somehow an emerald had to have been involved because it is virtually impossible to imagine seeing such a gem and not be coveting it immediately.
Here an emerald cut natural emerald of an estimated 1.02 carats puts us on alert. A rich and vibrant fine medium coloration draws the eye as a moth to light. An exquisite platinum mounting does justice to the alluring gem with good clarity. Fine attention to detail and precise craftsmanship are quickly apparent.
The delicate touch of mille grain accents and precision open work place this ring in a category of its own. A mix of two (2) brilliant and two (2) single cut diamonds of an estimated total of .05 carats brings with it a hint of sparkle. Please note that the entire band is embellished with an ornate pattern.
Date: Circa mid 20th century.
Historical Note: The ring was retailed by William Barthman Ltd. of New York, a fine jewelry firm established in 1884. The company continues to be a purveyor of fine jewels and watches to this day.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (0.8 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.6 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.6 grams (1.7 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-1/2 (UK M-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 53.1 mm; Int. Dia. 16.9 mm; Japan 13) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 5% Irid Plat; Wm. Barthman; 1721
