In Accordance With NYSE Rule 303A.08, This Press Release Makes Public The Grant Of Awards To New Green Dot CFO, Grace Wang
As required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Green Dot Corporation (NYSE:GDOT) today announced that it had granted employment inducement awards of stock options and restricted stock units to Grace Wang, Green Dot's recently appointed Chief Financial Officer, as part of her previously disclosed compensation package. On October 8, 2013, the Company announced the hiring of Ms. Wang to serve as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective November 18, 2013.
Ms. Wang was granted the option to purchase 100,000 shares of Green Dot's Class A common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and restricted stock units providing for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of Class A common stock. The stock options vest as to 25% of the shares underlying the stock options on the first anniversary of the date of grant, with the remainder of the shares vesting monthly in equal installments over the next three years. The shares underlying the restricted stock units vest in four equal annual installments on the anniversary of the grant date.
These awards were granted outside of Green Dot's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, but except as set forth in the award agreements, will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to the applicable awards granted under the plan. The Compensation Committee of Green Dot's Board of Directors approved these employment inducement awards in reliance on the employment inducement exception to shareholder approval provided under Section 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. To comply with the terms of this exemption, these employment inducement awards require an immediate public announcement of the awards and written notice to the NYSE.

The company is the largest provider of prepaid debit card products and prepaid card reloading services in the United States, as well as a leader in mobile banking with its GoBank mobile bank account offering.

Manchester man wanted for Maine credit union robbery
SANFORD, Maine - Police are asking for the public's help in locating a Manchester, NH man wanted for robbing the York County Federal Credit Union.
About 1:40 p.m. Thursday, a man entered the 870 Main St. credit union, told a teller he was armed and demanded cash. The teller gave the robber an undisclosed amount of cash and he ran out of the credit union with it.
A witness provided police with information about a vehicle seen speeding away from the scene. Investigators located that vehicle in Manchester and impounded it. The investigation ultimately led to Justin Brady, 23, of Manchester, who is now wanted for the robbery.
Sanford police, in a news release, said they spoke on the telephone with Brady, who became despondent and abruptly ended the call He is believed to be in the Manchester area and local law enforcement officers are searching for him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Manchester police at 603-792-0219 or Sanford police at 207-324-9170 ext. 262.

Took Tank a while to walk off his mat, funny!
Gotta love dogs. Â They have such a sense of shame, unlike many politicians. Â Speaking of Wieners...
No matter how mad you would get to see all that trash all over the place, you can't help but laugh a little inside looking at Tanks expression. He knows he did a "bad thing" but he's too freaking cute. I thought at first he was wearing the "Cone of Shame" but it's clearly the "Cone of Proof" in his case.
Wow flat out hilarious !!

BIO CEO Conference Live Blog
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Small and midsized biotech companies get a turn in the investor spotlight this week as the 13th annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference kicks off here this morning.
I'll be live-blogging from the BIO CEO conference over the next two days, presenting news updates and analysis live from the presentation rooms and breakout (Q&A) sessions. Biotech companies on my coverage list today include Exact Sciences (EXEL), Medivation (MDVN), Exelixis (EXEL), Resverlogix (RVX:Toronto) and Sangamo BioSciences (SGMO).
I'll also try to report on presentations from Cleveland BioLabs (CBLI), OnoGenex Pharmaceuticals (OGXI) and Oncolytics Biotech (ONCY).The BIO CEO conference is sponsored by BIO, the biotech industry-lobbying group based in Washington, D.C., and typically invites small- and mid-cap biotech companies to present to an audience of institutional investors. Smaller biotech companies, in particular, lack extensive research coverage from investment banks, so this conference is a good way for these companies to get their stories in front of investors. This BIO CEO confab live blog will be similar to the real-time coverage I provided in January of the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Expect breaks in between my postings today since I'll be moving around the conference and waiting for companies to present throughout the day. I'll do my best to give you continuous coverage, but understand that I'm somewhat at the mercy of the AT&T network and my ability to type into my iPhone while weaving through crowds and listening to biotech executives speak. Your best bet is to check back into the live blog several times throughout the day. Like my previous live blogs, I want to keep today's coverage interactive, so feel free to ping me with comments and questions. I will publish and respond to as many of your comments and questions as I can. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.

Gary Yamamoto Senko - 5''
Tested and proven on California lunkers, Gary Yamamoto's Senko has quickly become a sensation throughout the United States. The Senko is salt impregnated, has a healthy profile, casts like a bullet, and features a unique smooth-and-even horizontal fall when fished weightless or wacky style. Yamamoto Senkos are not magic, but pretty darn close.
- Salt-impregnated
- Casts like a bullet
- Unique fall when fished weightless or wacky style
Gary Yamamoto Senko - 5'' 456 457
Ruining me as Bass Fisherman These work so well I find it hard to use different techniques in the clear water I fish in. I will be catching fish using the Senko, then try something new, and see my catch rates drop. I go back to the Senko, and start catching fish at an accelerated rate again. These work so well I have children catching nice Bass with them the first time out. If I could only use one lure the rest of my life it would be the Senko. July 21, 2009
Senko Baits Are Simply The Best Since discovering Yamamoto Senko Baits at a fishing demonstration about two years ago, I've used almost nothing else. They simply out-perform everything else I've tried, it's really quite amazing. The 5" Senko doesn't look fancy, but it catches fish consistently. It has enough weight to cast quite far without a sinker, and is easy to rig weedless on a worm hook. For some reason, Senko baits just trigger strike after strike, I don't understand why, but they do. I've told several other people about them, and they've had similar results. I never go out now without a full compliment of Yamamoto baits in my tackle box! June 29, 2007
can't beat the senko Do alot of large mouth fishing in indiana. Always can count on the Yamamoto senko to catch them. Love the color combo. Fish them wacky style...... November 22, 2014
Great spring bait Best when fished weightless wacky style. Bass generally hit in on the fall. Watch your line closely, they will often pick up the Senko and move toward your boat. Always use an "O" ring or you will lose a ton of Senkos. September 11, 2014

Drop shot
Details:Can u drop shot these?
10 months ago
- Columbus, GA(read all my Q&A)
A:Yes, a Senko on a drop-shot rig works those deeper schools of fish holding tight to structure. Tie the hook on with a Palomar knot, leaving an extra long tag end to attach a split shot or drop shot weight. Nose-hook the Senko for maximum action or tex-pose it on the hook for a weedless presentation. Let your lure go to the bottom and slowly twitch the line. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojQjmsIoTQc.

A:Senko's are a bit fragile for wacky rigging. If you want to wack-rig a stick bait, I suggest the Yum Dinger.
I have the best results fishing senko's weightless, from the heat of the summer until early winter.

Details:This is my first year with a baitcaster, so I'm no pro, but I think I'm pretty good with it already. Unfortunately fishing worms weightless is best in my area due to how weedy our waters are. Will I be alright using these without a weight? Or should I stick to spinning rods for my worming?
2 years, 3 months ago

A:Yes, they cast beautifully on a baitcaster weightless, because of its design.
A:depends on the reel, you would have to try different settings. I like to use a stiff spinning rod

A:I prefer the 6 inch Senko, but by all means throw 10 inch worms or bigger. Don't forget to size up your hooks when throwing monster plastics. Nothing is worse than missing a fish. Regarding plastic worms I like to throw up on the shore and slither the worm into the water. Do throw these baits in heavy vegetation.

best worm?
Details:what is the absolute best worm for catching big bass in clear water.. and what size?
A:Here in Maryland we like to show the fish a color contrast. 5 inch Senkos in green/white, or green/pink are working right now.
If you want big bass size up your baits. Try 6 inch Senkos and 10 inch worms on 5/0 hooks, Texas rigged.

"Wonderful design, I selected the pink design. I have received nothing but compliments on this card. I chose the one with square edges and nothing else special. I also added 2 photos on the back, I am glad they had that option as I wanted to be able to add more photos."
"I really liked the grey chrevron design on this card, especially since that was a theme at our baby shower and in our nursery. The card was easy to personalize and we loved it overall. The only issue we had was that I didn't like the quality of one of the photos on the card. But I am thinking it might have been more of an issue with using smartphone pics rather than anything wrong with Tiny Prints production. We have used Tiny Prints since for picture cards and the quality has been perfect."
"These cards printed out beautifully! I am glad I went with Tiny Prints, they printed and shipping fast. Took me a week to get my cards."
"My husband and I had a hard time picking the right card. Once we saw this one uploaded with our daughter's picture we knew it was the one. The arrow has a lot of meaning for us and it is something that no one knows about but us. This was the perfect way to present our daughter to our friends and family."
"We loved this announcement and got so many compliments on it! I did not have to change anything about it even though it was customizable I liked it the way it was the best. I put one large close-up of my daughter on the front and did one family picture on the back. I will note that you should pay attention to how close you zoom in on the front picture to make sure the writing doesn't cover your child's face. Great paper quality and quick delivery. I also used the mail for me option which is awesome as a new mom. Next time I would mail myself one too since I got my extra ones a few days after other people received theirs."

Georgia beats LSU to snap 3-game skid
Updated On: Feb 06 2014 11:37:23 PM CST
Nemanja Djurisic scored 17 points and Georgia never trailed while snapping a three-game losing streak with its 91-78 win over Louisiana State on Thursday night.
Charles Mann had 16 points, and Marcus Thornton had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Georgia (11-10, 5-4 Southeastern Conference).
LSU's Johnny O'Bryant III, who was averaging 21.6 points in his last five games, was held to nine points, all but three coming in the final six minutes. O'Bryant fouled out with 58.3 seconds remaining.
Andre Stringer and Jordan Mickey each had 19 points for LSU (14-7, 5-4 SEC). Jarell Martin had 15.
Georgia, which was held under 70 points in its three straight losses, topped 90 points for only the second time this season by making a season-high 60 percent of its shots (27 of 45) from the field.

Egg Art
I love eggs whether fried, scrambled, on my toast, in my cakes or in any other form. This forwarded mail that I got today had be really impressed with the versatility of the egg. I have seen eggs for painting and being used for kids crafts. This however, was a big step ahead in creativity. The egg I am told is cut with a high precision laser beam. Beautiful , awesome is the least I can say about the creative genius behind this wonderful art.

'Proper' sensory evaluation of wine actually involves a surprising amount of knowledge. Indeed, there are entire courses dedicated solely to this discipline. Starting off with the basic knowledge is necessary, then it becomes a 'practice makes perfect' scenario.
The basic technique for sensory evaluation goes as follows: pour wine, look, sniff, drink. Let's look at the three senses we use for sensory evaluation:

Daycare questions
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 09-20-2011 - 1:57pm
So, I've been planning for a while to send Fede to day care. In fact, it's more a "pre-school" or "kindergarden" if you like. My idea is to send him two or three days a week for 3 hours each time. That would give me some much needed time to run errands, and work when I have a project going on. Also, if I get lucky and get a teaching job, I'd like to have the freedom to take it without worrying about having to find a place in a hurry.
But the main reasons are that I'd like Fede to become more social (he is super clingy to me and DH) and to learn to share and play and entertain himself a little more, before the baby comes next march.
After some research in the area, I think I found the place.
- -The staff is super friendly, and also flexible with the parents' schedule. I can bring him as many times a week as I want, and for as many hours as I need.
- -The price is reasonable.
- -They accept kids in diapers.
- -They have all the cute "kiddy" activities, like gym, music, book reading, and even a cooking class.
- -The building is actually an old house, all they've done is paint some art in the walls and stick posters here and there
- -The toys and furniture is also old and worn. Same with the playground... it has a grass patch and plants, but barely any equipment.
- -They close in early december and start in early february (christmas/summer break)
I can ignore the "old and worn" part of it. I suppose when you have so many kids and toddlers using the place, you would need to charge a lot to keep replacing everything.
What I'm really thinking is if it is reasonable to start now, given that we will have a big break right in the middle of it. Two months is a lot in a toddler's life, and maybe he will forget all about it and then we will have to do it all over. If I wait until next year, do you think a month and a half (between early feb and my due date in mid march) is enought time for a kid to adapt?? I don't want him to go through the change of starting pre-school and getting a sibling all at once.
(Also... how do you get over the ridiculous fears that they will kidnap your child or abuse him in some way???)
|Wed, 09-21-2011 - 3:29pm
One way to feel comfortable with them would be to talk to other parents that go there, and to also drop in with Fede at unexpected times to just see what's going on. It never hurts to do this at any daycare he might attend.
|Wed, 09-21-2011 - 4:14pm
Hey Mari! I'm always surprised with how adaptable Evan is to situations, so you never know how Fede will react. That is a long break though - is that typical of preschools/daycare in your area?
Our daycare staff says a general rule of thumb is it will take at most 3 weeks for a child to fully adapt to a new situation. Some adapt quicker than others. With doing part time though, I think it will be fairly easy for Fede to deal with the change, so 1.5 months would definitely be long enough.
What we found really worked with Evan was easing him into it. So, the first couple of days, we went in to the daycare with him and just hung out for 30-60 minutes. Then, we left him there alone for a couple hours, and then just increased the amount of time he was spending there. We never had any issues, and he loved daycare right from the start (though who knows if it's because of easing him in, or if he's just like that).
About the fears - like Melissa said, you can check in on him at anytime. Call or drop by. If it's a good daycare, they will allow you to do this anytime and as many times as you want.
ETA: Do they have rules about who is allowed to pick him up, who can enter the building, etc.? At Evan's daycare, we have to buzz-in and say who we are before entering the building. We also have a pick-up list (people who are allowed to pick him up). If someone comes to pick a child up that the staff does not know, they a) ask for ID if they are on the list, and/or b) call the parents.
I think it would be great for you to have some time on your own, especially before the baby comes!
|Thu, 09-22-2011 - 1:28pm
Thanks for the input girls!!!
DH and I decided to wait until february, as you said the break is too long, and a month will be enough for him to adapt (hopefully). I suppose there must be some places where they don't take breaks at all. But since Christmas holidays are in the middle of summer here, most of people take their vacations in late dec. and january. It's also the time for school vacation, so any moms working in schools or studying are also on a brake. Bottom line, there are not enough kids to justify opening the place.
As for my fears, I've talked to a couple of neighbors who sent their kids there and they gave me excellent references. They both thought the same, "the place could use a makover", but they loved the way they treated their kids and how much they seemed to enjoy it.
I will ask about their security measures, and definitely drop by at radom hours. Just to be on the safe side.
|Thu, 09-22-2011 - 3:58pm
But I finally had time to post so I will LOL. I think it might make sense to pop by once or twice a week now and just get him used to being there- as children get older the transition to daycare gets much harder although of course it will still go fine in Feb. Plus he will remember it even if it takes a week or two to adapt again. But at the same time if it feels best for you to wait then you know Fede best and I'm sure that is the best decision for all of you:)
Teddy just started going to a private "day mother" 3 days a week about a month ago and I am SO pleased! He does so well being around the 3 other children and socially I think it has really helped him with concepts like sharing, waiting his turn, etc plus I think it is good for him to have other caregivers besides just DH and I.
I don't worry at all about safety- I felt 100%comfortable with the day mom when I met her, and this is one area in which I think instincts and personal feel are very very important. I also spent the first 2 weeks there with him as that is how it is done here so I knew how she handled different situations and felt totally comfortable leaving Teddy with her.

TEAM SPIRIT: Tokyo has set its sights on hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics — with a little help from the fashion community. At the Beijing Games, the Tokyo bid committee devoted a small corner of its showroom to fashion.
The display featured three mannequins clad in monochromatic Issey Miyake dresses from the designer's A-Poc collection in the Olympic hues of green, yellow and red. The dresses were cut from specially designed tubes of double-layered knit fabric, which were stretched into geometric backdrops for the garments. "[Miyake] is very excited about the possibility of having the Olympics in Tokyo," said Robert Magyar, vice president of Weber Shandwick, which is representing Tokyo's bid. "He actually started sponsoring the bid on his own and is trying to gather friends and other famous people in favor of it." Miyake also designed exclusive Pleats Please scarves and neckties for members of the bid committee in red, green and blue. The International Olympic Committee will select the final host city at its meeting in Copenhagen next year. The three other contenders are Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Madrid.

What famous JUDDD bud lost 35# in 11 weeks?.....
Hint: Begins with "Dr." ends in "Johnson". :D
source: an article on selfgrowth put out before Dr. Johnson's book came out.
He said, "The remarkable thing about it was that after about 10 days I noticed that on the down day I had an increased level of energy, and, almost a feeling of euphoria."
Cool that we're all in this together, experiencing the same things, huh? :)
the article goes on...
....calorie restriction is the only lab-proven option for those who want to gain youthful health and longevity. But there is good news for those who want to have their cake and to eat it too, and not in small portions: The really restrictive component of Dr. Johnson's diet is temporary, expanding into a maintenance program.
"You don't have to be on this diet consistently, he says. People that have gone on this diet for a period of weeks and then have gone off it for 10 days don't have regression. There's a period during which the SIRT1 gene is activated and then it produces complex relationships between genes and enzymes that produce these desirable health benefits. But if you stop and you eat normally those benefits continue for some period of time..."
Just thought I'd share for the morale-boosting effect. :)
Really good stuff, Sophie!! :jumpjoy::jumpjoy: Very morale boosting for sure!:sing:
I feel like Dr. J is a guy who really practices what he preaches and he is so real. Thanks for posting this!:high5:
This is why JUDDD helps make our vacations so enjoyable! It's as though you can just enjoy yourself and eat whatever and be perfectly fine by just getting right back to your rotation when vacation is over.
It's been months since I read Dr. J's book, but I remember reading some of the following in it. I found it tonight on journals.elsevierhealth. It helps promote that alternate day calorie restriction (JUDDD) is superior to "old-fashioned" calorie restriction (the one oft studied for weight loss and health/longevity).....
"Restricting caloric intake to 60–70% of normal adult weight maintenance requirement prolongs lifespan 30–50% and confers near perfect health across a broad range of species.
Every other day feeding produces similar effects in rodents, and profound beneficial physiologic changes have been demonstrated in the absence of weight loss in ob/ob mice.
Since May 2003 we have experimented with alternate day calorie restriction, one day consuming 20–50% of estimated daily caloric requirement and the next day ad lib eating, and have observed health benefits starting in as little as two weeks, in insulin resistance, asthma, seasonal allergies, infectious diseases of viral, bacterial and fungal origin (viral URI, recurrent bacterial tonsillitis, chronic sinusitis, periodontal disease), autoimmune disorder (rheumatoid arthritis), osteoarthritis, symptoms due to CNS inflammatory lesions (Tourette's, Meniere's) cardiac arrhythmias (PVCs, atrial fibrillation), menopause related hot flashes. We hypothesize that other many conditions would be delayed, prevented or improved, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, brain injury due to thrombotic stroke atherosclerosis, NIDDM, congestive heart failure.
Our hypothesis is supported by an article from 1957 in the Spanish medical literature which due to a translation error has been construed by several authors to be the only existing example of calorie restriction with good nutrition.
We contend for reasons cited that there was no reduction in calories overall, but that the subjects were eating, on alternate days, either 900 calories or 2300 calories, averaging 1600, and that body weight was maintained. Thus they consumed either 56% or 144% of daily caloric requirement.
The subjects were in a residence for old people, and all were in perfect health and over 65. Over three years, there were 6 deaths among 60 study subjects and 13 deaths among 60 ad lib-fed controls, non-significant difference. Study subjects were in hospital 123 days, controls 219, highly significant difference.
We believe widespread use of this pattern of eating could impact influenza epidemics and other communicable diseases by improving resistance to infection. In addition to the health effects, this pattern of eating has proven to be a good method of weight control, and we are continuing to study the process in conjunction with the NIH."
Awsome .. i am glad Dr. J discovered this.. and that i was lead to this forum so i could stumble upon it was well.. JUDDD for life.. i can do this. :)
I love reading this. Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate your sharing this!!! :shake:
Thanks for posting this, Sophie! :up: I love reading about how this wonderfully easy woe is helping me become healthier and younger! :clap: It is seriously mind-boggling how much happier I've been in the 4.5+ months since I've started JUDDD. There have been so many improvements to my life, my health, my mood and my general state of mind. I wish everyone could experience this!
Dr. Johnson, I soooooooooo adore you and your WOE!! :kicking: :D :clap: :high5: :D
NP guys, my absolute pleasure - like Yam Yam and others, I eat this stuff up! :laugh:
You know how I'm always shaking things up in maintenance? - doing regular JUDDD for a while, then going to MUDDDg and sometimes other IF such as Fast 5... well, I could see the bolded part being another type of maintenance if someone really wanted to do it that way: "You don't have to be on this diet consistently, he says. People that have gone on this diet for a period of weeks and then have gone off it for 10 days don't have regression. There's a period during which the SIRT1 gene is activated and then it produces complex relationships between genes and enzymes that produce these desirable health benefits. But if you stop and you eat normally those benefits continue for some period of time..."
What I mean is, going off the plan totally for, say, one or two weeks (at most) out of the month. So, dieting only half the month, either in straight blocks of a week or more at a time or breaking it up by days at a time. I stress that I'm talking about maintenance here for doing it regularly.
Now I'm so happy with JUDDD/IF that I don't even want to stop doing some form of it at all, even with the staggering freedom the above way would provide, unless I had to such as on a vacation where there's just too much good food constantly. But, I can see that if someone developed a diet fatigue in maintenance or just wanted to have a maintenance where they didn't have to think about food or what day on the rotation, that could be an option. They'd have to be sure to get back on JUDDD regularly though to keep the sirtuins perking.
JUDDD maintenance is very easy, forgiving, and flexible. Personally, I've been able to mix up the styles of JUDDD/MUDDD/IF with all kinds of variations, I've been able to do FDs with no calorie counting anymore, and it's all still working like a charm. And the above might just be another way to go about it for some maintainers. Perhaps in the future, someone will give it a try and report how their maintenance is going to us.
Mini rant, not about Dr. J, but the website :mad::
I sure wish they would keep it updated! It's not been updated in ages and the "coming soon" pages have been there quite awhile. I think there was a forum there, although not very active with sites like this one and some of the more popular "hangouts", but it seems to be gone.
I had posted on some thread somewhere when it was first new that I wished they'd get rid of the rat and the man eating that huge hamburger off of there or people would poo-poo the plan more than they already did! Glad that's gone, but with the lack of attention the site gets, it makes it look like just another fly-by-night diet. :cry:
Wonder what Dr. J is up to these days?
Sophie!!! I have just found my copy of the book ;) & will be reading some tonight when I get the free time, BUT... I am so excited to read about the euphoria and energy, because I have it and noticed it almost immediately after starting. In fact, has anyone noticed that they like to clean on DD??? I have been working out, cleaning house, garage, attic, closets and going places like I used to when I was 20! It has to be the Sirt1!
I think it also hurt a lot when the Resveratrol studies at where... UConn?... were revealed to have falsified results and had been *helped along* and faked by the researcher.
When that hit the news it also did nothing but cast a black cloud over Dr. Johnson's business of selling the stuff at all. Like he was hawking some snake oil elixir for weight loss, and everyone knows that there is a new weight loss pill or potent coming out to sell to the gullible every month.
I think the thing is.. alternate day dieting is nothing new, nothing *invented* by Dr. Johnson, and nothing, really, that anyone can't just do on their own, and which many people just do without ever really thinking about it. I am thinking right now of one forever-slim woman friend of mine who eats very lightly the day after she's had a high calorie day. She says it's just the way she manages her weight. Or knowing she will probably be eating a bit more the next day because of a luncheon or a social event in the evening, she'll eat very lightly today. So she cycles her calories more than she doesn't, and she can eat both heartily and quite modestly.. just naturally. She's calorie cycling, but she doesn't refer to it like that. And many people do this just naturally or of their own accord.
I think the website was more for the commercial sales of the Resveratrol, which may have fallen off quite considerably after the scandal of the faked studies was revealed, and also to a lesser extent the sale of his diet book. So I just have thought that there isn't much attention to the site anymore. Like it's sort of an afterthought. :dunno:
I think Dr. Johnson teaches plastic surgery at a university in Louisiana, so I can imagine that would keep him pretty busy and fulfilled. LOL
When I can find the blog, that I read yesterday, I will post a link for all to read. She has been Fast Fiving for 4 years and lost 120 lbs. She has one meal every day and occasionally 2, but always in a 5 hour period. The health benefits that she has experienced were UNBELIEVABLE!!! :clap:
She is a SZ 4 & looks like it took 20 years away! SIMPLY AMAZING!!!:up:
Pat, what you're saying makes a lot of sense.
I don't think a lot of us would be able to JUDDD without all the encouragement, help and support that we're getting here.
I am so grateful every day!!! I :heart:JUDDD and all you JUDDD BUDS!
Dr. J has a thriving Plastic Surgery business in Louisianna. I just researched him on Manta. He has 4 employees and he performs surgeries like -- mostly breast augmentation -- and does $1 million per year in business.
Sounds to me like he is busy with his life's calling. I think he wrote the book because he found something that worked for him personally and wanted to share it with others. (I think a lot of JUDDers feel this way!:hyst: Maybe we should all write books!:hyst:)
He is 65 years old. And, honestly I'm sure someone else put together the web site and maintained it for him. It's just not his priority right now.
As for the resveratrol thing, I did lots of research and there are absolutely no law suits against him or anything like that. He is rated 5 stars and highly recommended by all his patients.
You can easily find his mailing address on line. Send him a thank you card. :hyst::hyst::hyst:
We always are advised to carry along food in our purses, lest we be caught out there in the world where there won't be anything for us to eat. To Eat. Never advised to just not eat anything until you get back home again. Heaven forbid you feel a little hungry for a few hours! :laugh:
I think the worst thing that has come down the pike is the advice to eat several times a day. To have snacks between meals. To make sure you are always prepared with food to eat away from home. The concept of THREE squares a day is mostly dead and gone for many, and heaven forbid there is anyone who attempts to not eat breakfast, which we are admonished NOT to skip as IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY.
We're given charts and graphs of how to eat, told what is good food and what is bad food and how many glasses of water we are supposed to drink each day, but nowhere is it stated that IT'S OKAY TO SKIP A FEW MEALS!!!!! Jeez... :annoyed:
And, don't get me wrong, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. It's just that it doesn't actually do quite what all it was purported to do. :laugh: But I don't think it would ever harm anyone, and that's actually less dangerous than many supplements are. LOL
I have not read any testimonials anywhere saying that someone has improved health from using it. It's all speculation.
Thanks for the info, Yam. :)
I may have to send him a TY card!
This has been posted before, but thought I'd share it again.
The Alternate Day Diet - YouTube
It has a sensationalist feel in the beginning, and then you hear Dr. J defend the woe at the end.
Adding: It's funny but everything the opposing parties - the other doctor and the dietician - say at the end is the exact opposite of what I've felt and experienced on Dr. Johnson's JUDDD! :laugh: I guess my body LIKES mixed messages, lol. And I can't think of another woe that potentially has more long-term success. :)
Good to know Dr. J is doing well. Will have to watch that video.
Exciting, isn't it?!!! :laugh:
looking forward to seeing this
When I recall my childhood, I think about how I never snacked then and could go for long periods of the day without eating. I remember feeling hungry before lunchtime, and then before dinnertime, and everyone else did too, and it was a completely normal feeling. Somehow when I became an adult and my metabolism got messed up and I gained 50+ lbs, hunger was just completely unacceptable. Of course everywhere we look, from the ads on tv to our grocery stores and restaurants to health reports and the government, not to mention even from our doctors, we were getting that message as well. Eat smaller meals more frequently. Let me tell you, I followed that and I ate, constantly. :stars: I'm so glad JUDDD has made me realize that hunger is completely normal and not to be feared.
In fact, my digestive system loves the rest I give it from the final meal on my UDs to my first meal on DDs at dinner. Also, yes, my bank account definitely loves me for eating so much less every other day. :clap:
SoHappy! THANK YOU!!! :goodpost:
You hit the nail on the head! Eat many small meals and your digestive tract doesn't have enough time to rest. NOT GOOD!!! :down:
I have a close friend who told me that she is doomed because she can never get in all of the small meals she needs to eat on her diet and I said, "Wait, you have got it backwards!!!" I don't even snack now because I have decided that I must wait at least 5 hours before the next meal, or in the case of DD, I need to wait 36 hours. Snacking is not necessary. Even on an UD, if I really want dessert or a treat, I make myself fit in the treat as soon as I have finished my dinner. This allows me the time for my fasting.
Here is the blog that I told you all that I want to share...
Angela from Ontario, CA is my inspiration right now. She brings a huge smile to my face. Her Youtube on this page is actually what I believe all of you experienced JUDDD'ers are trying to share with us. "Love our bodies imperfections and all." Enjoy! :D

Adrienne Rich, feminist poet and essayist, dies at 82
Poet Adrienne Rich, whose socially conscious verse influenced a generation of feminist, gay rights and anti-war activists, has died. She was 82.
Rich died Tuesday at her Santa Cruz home from complications from rheumatoid arthritis, said her son, Pablo Conrad. She had lived in Santa Cruz since the 1980s.
Through her writing, Rich explored topics such as women's rights, racism, sexuality, economic justice and love between women.
Rich published more than a dozen volumes of poetry and five collections of nonfiction. She won a National Book Award for her collection of poems Diving into the Wreck in 1974. In 2004, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry for her collection The School Among the Ruins.
She had first gained national prominence with her third poetry collection, Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law, in 1963. Citing the title poem, University of Maryland professor Rudd Fleming wrote in The Washington Post that she "proves poetically how hard it is to be a woman — a member of the second sex."

Nobel Prize for literature does not go to Bob Dylan -- Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer wins
Despite wild rumors that Bob Dylan was the favorite to win, the Swedish Academy awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize for literature to one of their own, surrealist poet Tomas Tranströmer, who has been a long-time favorite to win the $1.5 million honor. The judges praised Tranströmer's work for its "condensed translucent images" which give readers "fresh access to reality." Born in Stockholm in 1931, he published his first poetry collection, 17 Dikter ("17 Poems") while still in college at the University of Stockholm. His collections, which explore his native country and other regions of the world, include Hemligheter på vägen (1958), Klangar och spår (1966), and Östersjöar (1974).
The Guardian notes that Tranströmer is the eighth European to be awarded the Nobel, the world's most prestigious literary honor, in the past ten years.
On the Books Apr. 21: Kindle lending, remembering Tim Hetherington, Tina Fey's booksigning techniques, and more
Amazon announced yesterday that it will offer library lending capabilities for the Kindle, but is there a catch? Key details remain fuzzy, or pixilated: When will libraries roll out the program, and how long will the lending period be? Also, not all books may be available as part of the program.
Intrepid photojournalist and Restrepo co-director Tim Hetherington, who was killed in Libya yesterday, had published a book in 2009 called Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold. According to the publisher, the book "entwines documentary photography, oral testimony, and memoir to map the dynamics of power, tragedy and triumph in Liberia's recent history. It depicts a past of rebel camps, rainforest destruction, Charles Taylor's trial as a war criminal, and other happenings contrasted with the hope for the future."
Funnylady Tina Fey has to keep herself entertained while on her Bossypants promotional tour, so she's been mixing it up while signing book after book. As she mentioned on Tuesday night's Conan, she sometimes signs entirely different names (like Ina Garten) in fans' books and at least once has inscribed, "Help, I'm stuck in a Korean Tina Fey autograph factory!" Maybe by the time her book tour is over, she really will have those man arms.

Pulitzer Prizes announced for 2011: Jennifer Egan's novel 'A Visit from the Goon Squad' and Bruce Norris' play 'Clybourne Park' among winners
Jennifer Egan's novel A Visit from the Goon Squad, a sprawling story that pivots from the story of an indie record label owner to a wide network of loosely connected characters, has won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The Pulitzer board called the book "an inventive investigation of growing up and growing old in the digital age, displaying a big hearted curiosity about cultural change at warp speed." Jonathan Dee's The Privileges, about a Manhattan family, and Chang-rae Lee's The Surrendered, about a North Korean refugee and an American GI, were the finalists. (Notably, Jonathan Franzen's acclaimed Freedom was not recognized; Franzen's The Corrections was a Pulitzer finalist in 2002.)
Clybourne Park, a play by Bruce Norris about racially divergent families moving into (and out of) a single suburban home in 1959 and 2009, won the prize for Drama, cited as a "powerful work whose memorable characters speak in witty and perceptive ways to America's sometimes toxic struggle with race and class consciousness." Lisa D'Amour's tragicomedy Detroit and John Guare's historical comedy A Free Man of Color, were the finalists.
Here's the full list of winners and finalists for the "Letters, Drama, and Music" categories: READ FULL STORY
Charlie Sheen's book of poetry: Putting the crazy to verse
James Franco talks poetry, 'Broken Tower,' and a whole lot of higher learning
sat down with the Poetry Foundation to sound off on his latest poetry obsessions, including gay modernist poet Hart Crane, who he played in the upcoming biopic The Broken Tower (he also directed). Reading Franco's lengthy, detailed responses, you can detect not only the caffeine that he undoubtedly needs in order to function—the man has a lot going on—but also a deep knowledge and genuine geek-fandom of his poetry heroes.James Franco
While Franco's proves himself a discriminating poetry connoisseur, he seems equally opinionated on the finer points of the many institutions of higher learning he's attended. Naysayers might have taken issue with his admission to Yale's English PhD program, but the Ivy League doesn't bow to his every wish just because he's a movie star—Columbia wouldn't even let him take poetry and fiction classes at the same time. But at this point, we know there's so stopping this guy from getting educated:
James Franco: When I was at Columbia there were some great poets there, and I wanted to study with Richard Howard. I was in one of his lectures, but I wanted to take a poetry workshop with him, but they just said no [laughs]. You can cross over in the lectures and seminars, but fiction writers are not allowed to go to the poetry workshops. So I asked this guy named Ian R. Wilson, who taught me at UCLA Extension, what I should do. I had gone to UCLA when I was 18 to get my bachelor's in English, and then I left after a year to act. I went back eight years later to finish, but before I re-enrolled, I took some classes through UCLA Extension. And I took a couple of writing classes with this guy named Ian R. Wilson.
It's funny because the UCLA Extension writing classes have a great history—Michael Cunningham taught there, and John Rechy and Janet Fitch—so I took some classes there, and this guy Ian R. Wilson was my teacher. He wrote both fiction and poetry, and so when Columbia told me that I couldn't take the poetry classes, I was pissed off. So I asked him, "Where should I go? I want a place so I can study poetry seriously." Even though I am at Yale now, sure there are some classes on contemporary poetry, but not in the way that it's studied at Warren Wilson.
At Yale, you study the Romantics, you study Whitman, but not contemporary poetry. Ian said, "For my money, Warren Wilson is the best poetry program in the country as far as the faculty goes and the way the program is run and the attention you get. You should go there." And so I applied and they let me in.
Yeah. And he hasn't even named all the schools he's attended or taught at. It's all very admirable, but is there a word for an addiction to education—maybe pedantiphilia?
Megan Fox's poetic new tattoo: Does anyone know the source?
Celebrity tattoos can be meaningful (Angelina Jolie's veritable UNESCO of cultural runes), amusing (Johnny Depp's palimpsestic "Wino Forever"), and unfortunate (everything Steve-O has ever done to himself), but rarely are they truly mysterious. Now, of all people, Megan Fox is stirring up literary debate over who is the source of her latest inking.
With all the words written on her body, it makes you wonder whether she might be suffering from some Memento-style amnesia, but this newest text is probably a little too cryptic to be of any practical use. Her right side now reads "Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music." The Guardian is asking its readers whether anyone knows who is responsible for these words. An online search returns the mysterious "Angela Monet," a poet apparently known, by some bizarre Google-triggered closed loop, solely for coining that phrase. Other sites attribute a present-tense version to comedian George Carlin, while some Guardian readers suggest it belongs to Friedrich Nietzsche. Personally, my guess is that it came from Michael Bay and was his original tagline for Transformers 2. What do you think?
Wimbledon gets an official poet, might this start a new trend?
Any sport in which "love means nothing" has got a bit of poetry to it to begin with, and now Wimbledon has made it official. The British tennis championship has appointed British wordsmith Matt Harvey as its official poet, and as such he will be composing a poem a day for the entirety of the two-week proceedings.
He's already written his first contribution, entitled "The Grandest of Slams." It starts "Excuse me. I'm sorry. I speak as an/ Englishman./For the game of lawn tennis there's no better symbol than Wimbledon." Harvey is the first person to hold this newly minted position. (No, Walt Whitman did not write Leaves of Grass about the Wimbledon courts.) I think this is a great precedent to set, and I wouldn't mind seeing official poets for other athletic events, as well.

What do you think? Do poetry and athletics go together? Is this a good way to smarten up sports, a good way to dumb down literature, or both?
