Carbohydrate Addicts Diet
If you're a carb addict, don't think you can't reward yourself... daily!
Do you often enjoy a large meal and soon after feel hungry again? Or, do you feel like you can't stop eating starchy goodies once you've started? It's time you faced up to your addiction to carbs. You're not alone and the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet might just be the plan for you.
It's possible your body doesn't process carbs the way everyone else does. Sometimes, carbs in your body will result in substantial production of insulin, which in turn creates fat stores. The Carb Addict's Diet, created by Dr. Richard and Dr. Rachael Heller, manages your insulin level by helping you eat in a way that properly mixes when and what you eat. You'll even get to fight the addiction with your food must-haves.
Carbhydrate Addicts Diet, Carbahydrates Addict's Diet, Carbohydrate Addict's Deit
PRO- Allows for a substantial portion of daily carbohydrates
- May help to control imbalanced blood sugar levels, sugar cravings and mood swings
- Nutrient-less carbohydrates are replaced by nutrient-rich foods
- May help you to lose weight
- Consuming too many unhealthy carbohydrates has been linked to obesity, diabetes and other chronic health conditions
- Specific instructions for reward meal are needed
- Reward meal may turn into a 60-minute binge fest for those feeling truly carbohydrate-deprived
- Restriction of fruit is disputed by some nutrition experts
- Weight loss is likely to be temporary unless the dieter restricts their carb intake for the long-term
True to its name, the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet restricts certain carbohydrates from your diet while allowing you to eat a modest of amount of approved carbs.
During the first two weeks of the diet, you follow a fairly strict plan of eating only certain foods and foods delineated in the Complimentary Meals list. Such foods include:
- Meat and poultry
- Fish and shellfish
- Fats, oils and dressings
- Eggs and dairy products
- Vegetables and salads
- Special low-carb desserts (recipes in book)
Three meals a day are allowed. Breakfast and lunch must be protein plus low-glycemic vegetables. Dinner is referred to as your reward meal where you can eat whatever you want as long as you eat it in a one-hour time period.
Once you finish with the first two weeks of the diet, you gradually start to re-introduce certain carbs back into your diet, but the quantity and kinds of carbs are dependent upon your weight loss goals. The same reward meal applies.
A sample day on the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet might look like this:
- Breakfast: Omelet made with a combination of egg whites and one whole egg, bell peppers and mushrooms
- Lunch: Romaine lettuce salad topped with grilled chicken breast, cucumber slices and olive oil and lemon juice
- Snack: Hard-boiled eggs or string cheese
- Dinner: Modest serving of pasta marinara and topped with Parmesan cheese shavings, served with sauteed broccoli.
Foods that are to be avoided during the day are:
- Fruit
- Fruit juices
- Bread
- Pasta
- Sugar & sweets
- Processed food
You are encouraged to be consistently active while following the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet. Clocking hours at the gym or on the StairMaster is not recommended, but rather you should aim to move your body more through modest exercise and in your daily routine.
CONCLUSIONCarbs have certainly received a bad rap in recent years as more and more research shows that diets high in refined carbohydrates can lead to weight gain and out-of-whack insulin levels.
While it's great dietary practice to limit the amount of refined carbs you eat, completing nixing fruit or even the occasional candy bar is just not realistic or healthy.
Even though the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet is likely to result in weight loss and receives high marks for its inclusion of lean protein and healthy veggies, its permission of a reward meal may lead to pasta binges and the resulting weight loss is likely to be temporary, once you cycle off the diet.

I would like to star this diet tomorrow april 1st.
I'll let you know how was it.
Love the inspirational posts from people who have succeeded on the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet. I'm on it now and am very happy!
Is the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet suited for vegetarians? This is simply amazing diet plan. Does this diet suit vegetarians also?
I read the book and followed their instructions...No carbs for 23 hrs. then when u fell as if u are going to quit the diet it is time for an hour of nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with milk..I lost 11 lbs. the first week and 40 more after that....Now for 5 years I have been retired and not getting enough exercise and falling into my carb gouging...So starting today, I am going back to the Carbohydrate addicts diet.. My colesterol and triglycerides when I was on the diet for two months dropped sooo low that my doctor thought he had the wrong blood work...He was amased.. I went from 335 bad colesterol to 95 and triglycerides went from 365 to 135...This diet WORKS...but I would use it for only about 6 weeks..shed about 45 lbs. and go back to my point system @ weight watchers...and I will be good to go... ps: after u are on the Dr. Heller's diet for 2 days, your cravings for sweets will just about diminish completely..good luck and God Bless......
I love this diet and am just starting it for the second time. I did it approximately 15 years ago and lost 42 pounds in 2 1/2 months! It was the greatest thing for me. My doctor had suggested the Atkins diet but I love my carbs too much and it just wasn't working out for me so he suggested the CAD. I'm a believer! I kept most of the weight off for about 10 yrs but now I'm back were I started unfortunately. :( So here we go again and I know I'll have the same luck. I'm already off to a great start with 3 pounds gone in my first day. I can't wait to get to were I was back then.
The Diet Does Work, It worked better for me than Atkins. In the beginning My reward meal was huge but after a couple of weeks I felt I was in control of my eating. I lost 50+ lbs. If you do not taper off the plan as stated in the book you will gain the weight back and the uncontrolled hunger/cravings. it is a plan that you can live with. It is a good plan
I have been on this plan and it's great! I never cheated ONCE in four months because you don't have to cheat on this. If you're feeling deprived or if someone brings cake into work, you just save it for your reward meal. If you didn't get to eat your craving today, there is always tomorrow. You get to reward yourself EVERY DAY. The trick is not to do it ALL day, like I was doing!! LOL
It has been working like a dream for me....What a relief to stop the bingeing! I do whatever I have to at the reward meal to ensure I don't eat past the one-hour time limit. I used to use the Atkins plan, but found I went crazy with cravings. The Carbohydrate's Addict's Diet has been a new, energized way of living! I take comfort in knowing that I can fit all my favorites in my reward meals, which stops the feelings of deprivation. This is my second month, I lost 8 lbs. painlessly. This includes family dinners, parties, events, etc.
I did this diet back in 1994 and lost 35 lbs in about 7 months. I have always taken thyroid pills and can starve and won't lose weight. I do need to do some exercise such as walking or dancing to the oldies. Anyway, I regained the weight the following year, because I thought I could eat normal. Now I need to lose 35 lbs again. I am 78 yrs young and can do the exercise. I am on second day and feeling good. Good time of year to do this diet because of big dinners on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just stay in that hour. I used to go to buffet and yes, pig out, for an hour and still lost weight.
My doctor suggested eating this way , no carbs before dinner. He lives this way and he's pretty slim!!! He's never heard of the Hellers but was fine with me following this way of life. I've lost 16 pounds since May. He did say though that this has to be a forever thing or the weight will come back. Good luck everyone!!
Hey, that's the greaetst! So with ll this brain power AWHFY?
I am 66 and started the diet yesterday. I am 5 ft. 9 inches and 222 lbs. and a mild diabetic, recently diagnosed. So far so good, including my blood sugar readings. It is difficult w/o a snack but I'm hanging in there. Why must coffee be consumed within 15 mins.? I wish I could have a small protein snack like string cheese or boneless chicken breast, but so far am adhering to the rules. I would like to get down to at least 175 lbs.
Hi everyone, I have been struggling with losing weigh my whole life and am currently doing a bit more research on this book before I decide to get it. Can anyone please tell me what is the difference between this diet and Atkins??? I have so many questions lol! I tried the Atkins induction but I cannot stand eggs and any of the fake sweeteners, they give me migraines, plus I too have PCOS.Please feel free to email with any comments, thanks!
The only diet that has every truly worked for me....I don't know why but I am much less hungry on this diet than when following traditional diets like Weight Watchers, Slim fast etc. Thanks to the creators of this program!
I too have PCOS and this is the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me! I tried the low cal and low fat and ended up gaining weigh!!!. I am so thankful for this plan, not diet, because it is a total new way of life that is easy and enjoyable!!!
I just started on this diet today. As a carb addict, I never ate very much just ate all the wrong things. Carb loaded every meal and snacks. Now I'm eating no carbs for breakfast, huge salad for lunch, only carb is in the dressing and a moderate carb dinner. This works for me as I cook dinner for my elderly mother and must eat the same things she does to make her happy. I'm planning on sticking with this forever and will happily report when I've lost the 40 pounds I need to lose. Keep the comments coming! They encourage me to keep going.
I did this back in 2000, I found the book in my house. I LOVE this plan. When you are an addict Like myself you cannot expect to not eat carbs at all or only "good carbs". I lost 50 pounds with a smile on my face. Now when we talk about diets my Niece refers to CAD as the Happy diet. Please read the book and try it too.
My 18 year old daughter has struggled with her weight since elementary school. I found a copy of The Carbohydrate Addict's diet . My daughter took it, read it ,and immediately put it into practice, and has lost 28 pounds in less than 3 months! She is looking great and her self esteem has zoomed. I have now started the meal plan, and hope to have similar results!
I tried this diet back in the 90's shortly after the book came out. It worked like a dream. I was not extremely heavy, just needed to lose 15-20 pounds. I lost 17 pounds almost effortlessly - never felt hungry or deprived, and was able to keep the weight off for almost 3 years. Why did I regain the weight? Because I stopped eating low-carb, pure and simple. Since then I have struggled with my weight and been unable to lose it by traditional methods. I even gained more weight so that I need to lose 20+ pounds now. So I'm back to what worked for me before. The beauty of having a reward meal is that it's much easier to forego carbs if you know you can have them later on in the day, rather than that you can't have them at all. And yes, sometimes I did "pig out" at my reward meal, but I still lost the weight. It didn't matter if it took a little longer, because I wasn't starving, I wasn't depriving myself, and I was able to eat all the foods I liked. I'm hopeful that with the plethora of low-carb recipes that have now been developed, I will be able to eat low-carb for life and won't fall off the wagon again because of boredom with the same foods over and over again.

Flies You could ask any guide on Andros what the single best fly is and each one would tell you something different. The mantis shrimp has been the most productive fly lately followed by the spawning shrimp, and gotcha in pearl or pink. Not often but sometimes the bones can be picky. If you do get a couple refusals change the fly. You might have to change the pearl gotcha that worked all morning to a pink one in the afternoon. On another day the only fly that works is a natural buggy looking fly like a mantis shrimp or tan Puff. Bring the usual suspects; gotchas, charlies, puffs, shrimp and crab patterns, etc, in white, pink, pearl, brown, and tan in sizes #2 and #4. We do throw a larger than average fly on South Andros. I tie everything on a #2 hook and stretch the fly out a bit with the wing extending well past the bend.
The Mantis Shrimp pattern pictured above left and right is one of many styles; brown, tan , or blonde, and buggy. The Spawning Shrimp pictured right has also been tied in dozens of different versions. This particular fly was tied by Eric Peterson himself....in case you were wondering what the original looks like. The spawning shrimp below left is something I tied up.
Puffs and turd flies work well also. There are very small crabs on the flats. White crabs on the sand bottoms and brown or tan crabs on the mottled bottoms. When they swim they tuck the bow side claw in and extend the stern side, looks like a puff or turd fly. There is also a thorny decorator crab. This crab picks up whatever is available and sets it on it's back for camo. I once saw one that had found some pink eggs and set it upon its back.....foolish. I believe that is what a pink puff represents. The puff tied in white and tan represent the other other crabs. I also believe the turd fly is some sort of represention of a crab.
As a safety precaution be sure to bend your barbs and always wear your glasses! It's all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out. I have a syringe, some local anesthetic, and a suture kit I can't wait to use......after I yank the fly out of your cheek with some 30lb mono. I'm no doctor but I'd like to play one on TV.
Bring a few weighted flies, you may be fishing the deeper edges for bigger fish or poling a high tide and need the weight to get down. Also, you might need to drill a cast into the wind. A fuzzy Pink Puff on a long leader might get blown back into your face while a shorter leader and a weighted fly has enough momentum to roll over.
A lot of fly fishermen tie their own flies. There is some satisfaction in catching a fish on a fly you tied yourself. Don't confuse bonefish flies with trout flies where an exact match is critical. Have fun with it.....improvise. Most bonefish flies are just glorified Gotchas or Charlies. Once you have the basic patterns down get creative. Tie on some rubber legs, mono eyes, or change the color.
The puff, spawning Shimp, and mantis shrimp patterns are different but just as easy. The Pink Puff is the simplest fly you'll ever tie. It works well tied in white and tan also. If you dig around on the web you can find endless resources on tying any of these bonefish flies.
Here are a couple helpful hints for tying an effective South Andros bonefish fly. There are basically two color groups. The pinks/pearls and the naturals like brown, tan, or blonde. The bones seem to really like rubber legs an anything. I even tie a few on my puffs and call it a super puff. On the natural colored flies be sure to tie on a few strands of copper/gold flash.
There are a couple ways to make your own shrimp or crab eyes. One way is to melt the end of 20-30lb monofiliment with a candle or lighter. Watch out!! Don't do this over your lap. It takes a couple tries to figure out. Heat it slowly so the mono blackens. Hold it vertically until it cools or dip it a glass of water. Another way is to use black bead chain as pictured on the Peterson's Spawning Shrimp above. Using 10 to 20lb mono tie a double overhand knot and pull it tight between the two bead chain eyes. Apply Zap-A-Gap or Superglue to the knot and trim.

Fly Rods If you can throw a tight loop and have a good double haul an 8wt is fine but...if the wind picks up to 20 mph you'll wish you had a 9wt. Bring an 8 weight and a 9 weight. Better yet, just make it a couple 9 weights, one for back up. Odds are good that you'll be casting in 10 to 15 mph winds. Fly Line Weight forward, floating line with a saltwater taper in the weight appropriate for your rods. Bring an extra spool of line and backing. Fly lines have been destroyed by fish ripping them through mangroves and across coral or lost to weak knots.
Some fishermen like to overline their rods by one weight. If you are just learning to cast it is easier to feel the rod loading. Whether you are experienced or a beginner a 9wt rod loaded with a 10wt line is a deadly tool on a windy day. Leaders & Tippets
Most store bought leaders have weak butts that collapse onto your fly line when pushed against a strong wind. Add a couple feet of 30lb or 40lb hard mono to your fly line then tie your leader to that. You can also build your own leaders with hard mono or fluorocarbon. There are formulas regarding the proper length for each section. It's all overkill. Equal parts or lengths works just fine. A good high wind leader is 3ft of 40lb, 3ft of 30lb, then 3ft of 20lb. A good light wind leader can be built using 3ft of 30lb, 3ft of 20, then 3ft of 16lb.
Generally a 9ft leader with a couple three feet of 16lb to 20lb fluorocarbon tippet works well. Do not be concerned about the tippet size spooking fish, they don't mind. If it does concern you use 10lb to 14lb tippet. Pound for pound bonefish are the strongest fish you will ever hook. Everytime I go fishing I'm hoping I'll catch the fish of a lifetime. I don't want to be messing around with 10lb tippet as that fish is ripping through the mangroves and marl.
You can buy a lifetime supply of flourocarbon on a 300 yard spool from Walmart for less than you'll pay for a single 10 yard spool of flourocarbon that says "tippet" on the spool.
Fly Reels – Large arbor with 200 yards of 20-30 lb backing. Nearly every fish you hook will be into you backing. Wading boots .......and socks. A little sand in you boot without the socks will rub your feet raw. Sand guards can prove helpful. Wading Pants/shants You can wear shorts January through March but come April the Doctor (Yellow) flies appear. They are like giant deer or horse flies and only the females bite....Hard! The bites cause large and persistant local numbness, itching swellings. Pants are strongly recommended April through June. Even then where your pants are wet and sticking to your calf the doctors will still bite through. Wearing knee high socks will keep the flies from biting through. Avoid dark colors, they are especially attracted to black due to the heat it generates. They are much slower than the common house fly and easily killed. Hit them hard. Even wounded they'll fly back and hit you again. There is a green bee/flyish looking bug that feeds on them and is two to three times the size of a Doctor. If there's one in the boat leave him alone. He hovers like a Hummingbird around you. Bahamians call them the Drummer; because you can hear it when they hit 'em. He's your buddy, he's your pal. You'll see the Drummer bee attack a Doctor fly on your pant leg and fly away making a crunching sound. Chest, Back, or Fanny Pack You may be wading for hours and the boat will be just a spec on the horizon. Be sure to bring a wading pack to carry your flies, leaders, tippet, clippers, a water bottle, camera, etc.. Tools Pliers, hemostats, knot tying tool, snips, hook sharpener. Rain Gear Light and breathable. Bring your rain gear with you on the boat everyday no matter how clear it looks. Squalls pop up quickly and the boat ride can be wet. Sunglasses Polarized and bring two pair. Amber or copper lenses are the best. I used to say to spend at least a $100 for a good pair. I have several pair I paid top dollar for good glass from the best manufacturers. By the end of the day I can't wait to get them off. For the past year I've been wearing $30 glasses with scratch-proof plastic lenses that are light-weight and float. The optics are as good as my $250 Costas. And they don't wear the bridge of my nose. The last time they blew off my head we found them floating in the water. I don't like to endorse any products but....Peppers polarized fishing glasses.
Hat Black under the brim. Use a can of black spray paint or a marker if you have to, it really makes a difference. Spin Rods, reels, jigs and tube lures
Most fly fishermen bring a spin rod for Baricuda that frequent the flats. Ask the guide to carry it for you while wading. Green tube lures or floating Rapala-like lures work well ie: Mirror lure, Yozuri, etc. Throw it to either side and past the Bari and reel as fast as you can. They'll hit it so hard and fast you'll wet your britches.
If you're a spin fishermen you can do quite well bone fishing and we're happy to accommodate you. The same outfit works great for Baricuda. You'll need a six to seven foot rod with a 8-15lb line rating, medium to sftiff action. A Shimano 2000 or 3000 series or 4500SS Penn reel or equivalent with at least 200 yards of line. Use 8-10 lb test, make sure the spool is full. The jig selections are limitless. Bring small plastic jigs in twister, shrimp, crab patterns, wiggle jigs, gotcha style jigs, flat or round jigs in white, brown, tan, or pink buck tail, marabou, or synthetic fiber with a little flash. What works best?..... flat or wobble jigs. No more weight than you need to cast them, 1/8th or 1/4th oz. Toss the jig as far past the fish as possible and reel it back to the fish.

Q: How is the Innocell Plus bumper removed from the Innocell Plus body?
A: On the bottom side of the Innocell Plus case, between the two speaker holes, there is a thin rectangular slot/gap. Gently use your nails to gradually pry open the gap between the bumper and Innocell Plus body. If widening the middle gap does not successfully detach the bumper, then continue increasing the gap towards a speaker hole on either side to disengage the side tabs.
Should the above instructions prove ineffective, then try gripping and pulling on the speaker holes to pry the bumper away from the Innocell Plus body.
Q: What do blinking and fully lit charging lights on the Innocell Plus case indicate?
A: There are a total of 4 lights toward the bottom of the Innocell Plus case. When the case is not plugged to a power source and the power button is pressed, the number of lights that turn on indicates how full the Innocell Plus battery inside the case is:
1 light on indicates ~25% charged*
2 lights on indicate ~50% charged
3 lights on indicate ~75% charged
4 lights on indicate ~100% charged
*Please note: the only condition in which no light will turn on after the power button has been pressed, is when the Innocell Plus battery is completely drained.
When the case is connected to a power source, the number of lights that are on and not blinking indicates the levels of battery completely full, and the blinking light indicates an incompletely filled level.
1 blinking light indicates 0-24% charged
1 light on (non-blinking) + 1 blinking light indicates ~25% charged
2 lights on (non-blinking) +1 blinking light indicates ~50% charged
3 lights on (non-blinking) + 1 blinking light indicates ~75% charged
4 lights on (non-blinking) indicates ~100% charged (This is only possible when case is not connected to Galaxy S III)
Q: In what order will charging take place when the Innocell Plus case is connected to a power source?
A: When the Innocell Plus case containing the battery and your Galaxy S III are connected to a power source, the case is designed to automatically charge your Galaxy S III to full capacity first and then start charging the Innocell Plus battery. Pressing the power button will not affect the flow of charge from a power source.
Q: How can I achieve optimal efficiency from my Innocell Plus battery?
A: To achieve optimal efficiency from your Innocell Plus battery, start charging your Galaxy S III with the Innocell Plus case when the Galaxy S III battery level is around 60%. The lower the Galaxy S III battery level (less than 60%) at the start of charging, the lower the operating efficiency of the Innocell Plus battery.
Q: How do I condition my Innocell Plus battery?

#MashTag and Hello My Name is Päivi
Today we launch two of our most exciting beers of 2014, and that's quite a feat in itself! First up, we have #MashTag 2014, the beer for the people, by the people, and second we have the latest in our Hello My Name Is... series, this time especially for our Finnish friends, say hi to Päivi. Both of these beers are available from the BrewDog online shop as of *now* and they'll launch in our UK BrewDog bars tomorrow!
Grab #MashTag 201 here
Get your paws on Hello My Name is Päivi here
In March 2014, we passed the reins to you, our online communities, and invited you to guide our latest recipe. For the second year in a row, you totally nailed it and gave us a 9% Imperial red ale with global hops and a special twist of blood orange, lemon peel and orange peel.
The beer is tasting exceptional, with bags of citrus as expected, some surprising lemongrass notes, and loads of resinous aromas from those hops.
But that's not all, as we have booked in a special way to launch the beer too…!
In the nature of MashTag, the world's most democratic beer, we plan to launch this beer with the world's biggest beer tasting involving as many people who contributed to the beer as possible.
On the afternoon of Wednesday 2nd July (exact time TBC), cofounders James Watt and Martin Dickie will be holding a live streamed beer tasting on YouTube, and we'll need YOU to join us, taste it at the same time and send us your tasting notes! We'll be live tweeting as well, so make sure it's in your diary! A link will be posted on our social media platforms on the day, so be sure to follow us on twitter and like us on Facebook so you don't miss it!
James and Martin will be popping a cap of MashTag 2014 live on air, and they'll be giving their own tasting notes on the beer that you designed. They'll also be reading out your twitter, facebook and YouTube contributions so make sure you log on, join in and get tasting!
Buy your bottle(s) of MashTag 2014 here today to ensure they arrive in time! We are confident deliveries will arrive worldwide if you order in the next 7 days, so make sure you place an order asap to avoid disappointment!
The beer will also be available in our bars from Friday 6th June at 6pm, so you can grab it there as well!
Hello My Name is Päivi:
The second awesome new instalment today comes on the form of a brand new beer brewed with our Finnish friends in mind. Hello My Name is Päivi
In the same vein as #MashTag, the name of this beer was suggested by you fine people, so thanks for everyone who came up with the hundreds of name options! You literally broke our blog temporarily as you commented in your droves. Finland, we salute you.
The beer is a sea buckthorn-infused 8.2% double IPA. Incase you're not familiar, sea buckthorn is a tart, bitter berry that grows on the Finnish coastline. The tart character has been paired with a decent dose of bittering hops as well as loads of epic dry hops for an intense, fruity nose. Expect bright, vibrant aromas of tangerine, peach and zesty lime with a palate of warm, biscuity sweetness, tropical fruits, huge grapefruit and orange bitterness. The sea buckthorn brings an almost sour, super tart, dry finish. It's beautiful.
Pick up a bottle here
Plus, as always, we have loads of amazing beers from international brewers on the online shop too! Have a browse and grab some here

As a biologist, I am broadly interested in the ecology and evolution of all life on Earth, particularly how natural selection has shaped the evolution of millions of "endless forms most beautiful". As a natural historian, I am broadly interested in patterns and trends that characterize the history of such remarkable life on Earth, particularly patterns that we know to be repeated or unique, and historical transitions that we know to be reversible or irreversible. Knowledge of evolutionary history is extremely empowering, has important real-world applications, and has predictive potential.
In attempt to understand the evolution of biodiversity and the millions of ecological functions that biodiversity sustains, I have most often assumed a macroevolutionary perspective, i.e., at or above the species level (although microevolutionary studies or studies that combine macro- and microevolutionary investigation are equally valuable!). I have to date spent most of my career trying to understand biodiversity through research on flowering plants, particularly the species-rich (>4,000 spp.) and morphologically diverse tropical plant family Acanthaceae. More recently, I have developed research interests in lichenology, particularly here in the United States where amazingly, some 230 years after the Bartram's first traversed the Southeast, we still know so incredibly little about these organisms that a new species may be lurking under the rock nearest to you (see Tripp & Lendemer 2012)! In addition to research on Acanths and lichens, I have maintained long-term interest in the flora of the tepui highlands in Western Guyana, where I have participated in or co-led numerous collecting expeditions to remote locations in effort to provide baseline plant biodiversity information for these highly endemic ecosystems

A framework is an agreement with suppliers to establish terms governing contracts that may be awarded during the life of the agreement. In other words, it is a general term for agreements that set out terms and conditions for making specific purchases (call-offs).
Note that a framework covers the provision of a generic group of goods, works or services (or a combination), for example:
You would normally have one 'framework' for each generic group, but you may have a 'framework agreement' with more than one supplier under each framework.
The framework agreement itself may be a contract, but only if the agreement places an obligation to purchase. In this case, it is treated like any other contract, and the EU procurement rules apply.
However a framework agreement is more likely to not be a contract itself, but merely an agreement about the terms and conditions that would apply to any order placed during its life. In this case, a contract is made only when the order is placed and each order is a separate contract. Despite this kind of agreement not technically being a 'contract', you still need to follow the EU procurement rules.
Here is an example framework with two agreements. Note that each project called-off under the agreement has its own contract.
These examples are from the Office of Government Commerce paper "Framework agreements and EC developments". Click on each one to see the example.

Only stayed 1 night but found the staff to be professional and friendly. Great location too.
location caused me to select this hotel. I would stay here again.
The staff was Excellt. Very Professional and Friendly.
No coffee maker in room.
First they kick me out but after i spoke with the manger and also he gave me room who is live on it already
I was waiting to enter room for 2 hours! I arrived at 2 oclock and got room at 1630
Staff changed my reserved king room to a double and said all kings were sold. Then the manager said the king room could also be with two twin beds. I know it's valentines day, and they try to reserve king rooms for walk in couples with higher price.
We had a great time enjoying each other's company. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. Love the 24hr room service.
The pool situation is not the best. It was a little pricey for the digs.
The bed was very comfortable and the location was great
Originally provided with a room on the 3rd floor with tiny windows- extremely dark. Eventually convinced them to move me (begrudgingly). Did not see any services while there or at the pool- no staff in sight. Fine stay- wouldn't stay again
Their breakfast buffet was excellent and a great way to start the day in Beverly Hills after a good night's rest. The room was cozy and the bed was suited for deep sleep.
Not much of a view from the room we stayed in.
Great location in middle of everything, staff very helpfull. Rooms very clean and roomy. Excellent buffet breakfast
Bed a bit to soft otherwise everything else excellent
Location, rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable, free wi-fi, and clean
Booked as family vacation with children, requested rooms close together in reservation, but ended up six floors apart. Lack of consistent and effective communication amongst the staff made moving closer next to impossible. Also, the only restaurant in the hotel was booked for a private party for NYE, but not communicated to guests, so we were left with no where to go. Disappointing! They were obviously overwhelmed by the volume of holiday guests.
nice ,boutique like atmosphere with french hospitality , free breakfast is a nice treat.
paying for car parking,should be able to have free parking.
very friendly accommodating staff. wonderful meals.
poorly located i didn't like the area at all
personal good shower
cramped and poor views of the Hollywood in very expensive room
I like the stuff there are so friendly and everyone want to help you.
valet parking was so expensive!!!
the best location in L.A
the beds are not comfort.
Noise from ambulance from hospital across street
Size of the room and cleanliness was great. Location to Beverly Centre and hop on hop off bus stop just across the road. Whilst we don't normally go to the hotel bar, we were very impressed and spent both nights at the bar. The live music really made it great.
We liked everything! The hotel is upscale without being pretentious. The hotel, staff, service and food are outstanding.
I stayed in this hotel many times. Tried others around the area and in LA, but this remains the best one in terms of service and location - two major elements that you need. Fantastic breakfast!)))
Organization of the New Year Eve Party was horrible! At first they say that there is no need to get tickets if you're staying in the hotel. But on the 31-st of December they start to sell tickets to the Party! Also Party was very poor organized, a lot of drunk people, stupid security and etc.
Location Facilities Health center Service Cleanliness Staff Decoration Outside noise insulation
A bit noisy from inside (slaming door due to door lock system)
Perfect location, service was fantastic. Hotel is clean.
Needed more spacious rooms and at least coffee in room.

A radionuclide cisternogram is a nuclear scan test. It is used to diagnose problems with the flow of spinal fluid.
CSF flow scan; Cisternogram
A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is done first. Small amounts of radioactive material, called a radioisotope, are injected into the fluid within the spine.
You will then be scanned 4 to 6 hours after getting the injection. A special camera takes images that show how the radioactive materials travel with the cerebrospinal fluid through the spine. The images also show if the fluid leaks outside the spine.
You will be scanned again 24 hours after injection. You may need additional scans possibly at 48 and 72 hours after injection.
Most of the time you do not need to prepare for this test. Your doctor may give you a medicine to calm your nerves if you are very anxious. You will sign a consent form before the test.
You will wear a hospital gown during the scan so the doctors have access to your spine. You will also need to remove jewelry or metallic objects before the scan.
Numbing medicine will be put on your lower back before the lumbar puncture. However, many people find lumbar puncture somewhat uncomfortable. This is often due to the pressure on the spine when the needle is inserted.
The scan is painless, although the table may be cold or hard. No discomfort is produced by the radioisotope or the scanner.
The test is performed to detect problems with flow of spinal fluid and spinal fluid leaks.
A normal value indicates normal circulation of CSF through all parts of the brain and spinal cord.
An abnormal result indicates disorders of CSF circulation. These may include:
Risks associated with a lumbar puncture include pain at the injection site, bleeding, and infection. There is also a very rare chance of nerve damage.
The amount of radiation used during the nuclear scan is very small. Almost all of the radiation is gone within a few days. There are no known cases where the radioisotope has caused the patient harm. However, as with any radiation exposure, caution is advised if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Very rarely, a person may have an allergic reaction to the radioisotope used during the scan. This may include a serious anaphylactic reaction .
You should lie flat after the lumbar puncture. This can help prevent headache from the lumbar puncture. No other special care is necessary.

The Office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is launching a redesigned website (at reid.senate.gov) featuring a sleek new look with more transparency tools and better accessibility. The redesign process was governed by three key principles: 1) More dynamic, shareable, real-time content on the homepage; 2) Simplified, cleaner navigation for citizens to find the content they're looking for; 3) User-friendly customized WordPress content management system to allow staff to easily post content. The site will feature a first-of-its-kind VoteTracker, allowing citizens to monitor Senator Reid's legislative agenda and his most recent votes. The redesigned site includes the most robust Spanish-language website on the Hill (at reid.senate.gov/espanol).
VoteTracker: Get a snapshot of the latest votes in the Senate, see how Senator Reid voted, and learn more about the relevant legislation.
Featured stories: The homepage showcases three featured tiles to reflect the most newsworthy or popular posts on the site. In the event of breaking news, the website allows us to easily reconfigure the homepage to feature just one large graphic in the place of the three featured tiles.
Social media sharing: You can now view updates from the Senator's Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube channels right from the homepage. You can also share blog posts directly with your friends and family via social networks and email.
Multimedia content: The homepage now includes a video gallery of Senator Reid's latest statements and addresses, as well as a gallery of photos from his latest events.
Integrated design: The website has a new branded look which will be replicated across the Senator's social media platforms.
Responsive design: The site is now easily readable from a wide range of devices, from smartphones to desktop computers.
En español: With the upgrade of the Spanish-language version of the site, Sen. Reid's Spanish-language site is the most robust on the Hill, with the greatest amount of original Spanish-language content available.

An East Roane County woman is accused of running afoul of state TennCare laws.
Amber Dee Feezell of 204 Cherry Lane B was arrested last Wednesday. Feezell, 28, is charged with TennCare fraud, identity theft and obtaining drugs by fraud.
She's scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 28.
Authorities discovered a meth lab at 1539 Mountain View Road outside of Rockwood last Tuesday.
Commissioners had questions at the Feb. 14 meeting about the amount of money that's being spent on overtime in the Roane County ambulance department.
"We have some overtime issues, but bear in mind part of our overtime is scheduled overtime for our employees when we hire them," Roane County Executive Ron Woody explained.
From July 1 to Feb. 10, $316,171.66 was spent on overtime pay.
Midway Middle School Principal Nadine Jackson accepts a $2,000 grant check on behalf of the school's Beta Club from Alton Lingerfelt, a board member for VECustomers Share.
Volunteer Energy Cooperative's VECustomers Share also recently awarded $1,000 to the Midway Music Club.
VECustomers Share is a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization covering Volunteer Energy's 17-county service area.
After 13 years as the only coach the Kingston High School wrestling team has ever known, Chris Adams is stepping down.
The Bass Federation (TBF), in partnership with FLW Outdoors, announced the inaugural Student Angler Federation Tennessee High School Fishing State Championship presented by the University of Tennessee/Chattanooga, April 9 on Lake Chickamauga just outside of Dayton, Tenn. The state championship is a two person team event for students in grades 9 -12.
Good left-handed pitchers are hard to find, but Tennessee Wesleyan College landed one last week as Midway senior Josh Manning signed scholarship papers with the Bulldogs.
By FRANK GIBSON I remember my initiation into a college leadership society. Blindfolded and taken into the woods somewhere in Blount County, we were paraded one-by-one in front of student leaders, who would recite some moral maxim, poke us on the chest and ask: "Get the point?"
Last week, we wrote about the Tennessee General Assembly's assault upon the Tennessee Education Association, the teachers' union. This is just one small piece in the giant mosaic of right-wing attacks upon the poor, the underprivileged and the working class.
One of the hottest exercise crazes has found Kingston. A large group of women of all fitness levels and ages crowd onto the dance floor for Zumba at South Eastern Clogging Co. It's one of the fitness facility's most popular offerings. "We started in October. Since October we've averaged around 170 (participants) a week in just Zumba. Sometimes we've had weeks where we have over 200 come through," said instructor Paulette Ray.
Figuring out what should qualify as blight in a community is a key part of the cleanup effort in a redevelopment district, but it can be tricky business. Making that determination comes before letters can be sent to property owners citing them for unkempt conditions and giving them a deadline to clean it up. Harriman's Redevelopment Advisory Board spent an entire meeting recently deciding just what conditions qualified as blight.

"If you're any kind of human," the actress told the magazine in her cover story, "you know that the title is utterly ludicrous… But I like the idea of it too. I do. I'm feeling that I must earn this. I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something." We're inclined to agree. Beckinsale, notably, came in at No. 3 on AskMen's list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2010.

Skiverton focuses on positives
Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton had no complaints after seeing his players hold their own for much of the game in the 1-0 home defeat to Brighton.Elliott Bennett was on target for the visitors in the first half as the Seagulls survived early and late pressure from Skiverton's side to grind out the points.The Glovers boss said: "We have closed the gap on the big boys. We've come a long way - the effort and commitment is there."Our gameplan worked perfectly. We knew that if we stayed in the game and came out in the second half and didn't run out of gas, we had a chance."Brighton are a good side and when they go 1-0 up it's hard to get the game back. They're a great side and have real imagination on their free-kicks. With the quality they've got and the money they've got to spend, it's hard for teams like us."Skiverton added: "We now look forward to another big match here on Saturday against Huddersfield and if we can find the cutting edge up front, there's no reason why we shouldn't get a result."

Dominican offers an unusually rich program that allows undergraduate students the chance to engage in state of the art stem cell research, and graduate students to team up with researchers at the Buck Institute for Aging. It's all part of a push at the university to expand its scientific frontiers.
"We are entering a new era of doing science at Dominican University," said Dr. Sibdas Ghosh, chair of the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, referring to the new science center. The center, which opened last year, replaced five outdated labs in two buildings with a two-story, 35,000 square foot building that houses more than 30 teaching, research and computer technology labs for student and faculty use. The science program helps prepare students for a variety of careers, from conservation biologists to nurses, from pharmacologists to veterinarians.
Leading the push in stem cell research is Dr. Mohammed El Majdoubi, an assistant professor of biology at Dominican. His research is focused on investigating the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into hormone-secreting neurons in vitro, part of the larger mystery of reproductive physiology– how do the brain cells that control reproduction develop in the embryo.
Speaking as an undergraduate professor, Majdoubi offered a pertinent analogy: "Stem cells are the students of the body. They're undeclared. They don't know what they want to be."
But then, like students finding their major, they're committed – and scientists can get to work. "The stem cells have brought us a model that was not available before," he said. In his lab, Majdoubi and his students are "trying to coax stem cells into becoming hormone-secreting neurons. We can then study their development under a microscope, without using an embryo, or any invasive techniques."
"This is completely investigative," he said. "The students are learning all the techniques that are necessary to grow, manipulate and maintain stem cells."
Majdoubi is proud of the work that's going on in his laboratory. "My students will be able to find a job upon graduation," he said. "Whoever hires them will not have to spend one second training them."
He boasts that three California colleges were selected to present their work at the Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.: UCLA, USC and Dominican.
Megan Bell, 21, of Benicia, a senior at Dominican, is a biology major with a molecular cell emphasis. She transferred from Solano Community College largely so she could work on stem cell research with Majdoubi.
"We take embryonic stem cells – mouse cells – and by treating them with certain chemicals, we're able to direct these pluripotent cells into becoming different adult cell types," such as neuroendocrine cells, neurons and muscle cells, she said.
She emphasized that they're not working with mice, but with cell lines. "I don't know the last time it saw the inside of a mouse," she said.
Majdoubi does. "This cell line has been growing since the mouse mom died in 1988," he said. "You can grow them and collect them and have an infinite amount of cells."
They're using the stem cells to make hormone-secreting neurons. "Those actually secrete many hormones that are important in homeostasis" Bell said. "They play a significant role in regulating the body. Potentially, these neurons can be used as treatment for reproductive, metabolic and neuroendocrine diseases."
It may be that certain neuroendocrine cells that lack the necessary hormones could be replaced with healthier cells. That sort of potential has researchers excited.
"We look at how to keep the cells growing, and how to push them to differentiate" she said. "If we understand how these embryonic stem cells work, we can apply that knowledge to how adult cells develop in general. And we can study all of that in vitro," or in a test tube.
That sort of enthusiasm has Majdoubi excited. He loves working with younger students. "I choose to work with undergraduates," he said. "I wish I could also go earlier, to high school. If you want to inspire people, you have to reach them early in life. Graduate students are already specialized. I want to inspire someone early on."
Majdoubi – who has plenty of youthful enthusiasm in his own demeanor and speech – worked for four years as director of the Cell Imaging Core in the Center for Reproductive Sciences at UC San Francisco. Majdoubi has published 17 scientific papers and has given 18 presentations at international meetings. He also is a reviewer for the journal Neuroendocrinology.
In his presentation at the February conference, Majdoubi showed a slide of cells that looked almost like green hills on a topographical map. "Imagine being a student in the lab," he said. "It's 10 p.m., and no one is around."
He clicked a button and the slide started throbbing. The audience gasped. "These are beating heart cells in a dish," he said. "They can stick to the heart and start beating on their own."
"This shows the promise of stem cells and the pitfalls of stem cells," he said. "If the cells that fail to differentiate are also transferred, we don't know how they would behave. It could be the origin of a tumor."
Majdoubi works with graduate students as well, in collaboration with researchers at the Buck Institute for Age Research in Novato. "That's a high level of intensive research," he said. "My students learn their techniques at an undergraduate level, and then can expand their knowledge at the Buck Institute."
"We're having them go through two different systems, but it's a normal evolution," he said. "You walk before you run."
At the Buck Institute, the students are working five days a week as full-time researchers. "It's a research-based master's degree," he said. "This is the closest you can get to a doctoral school in Marin County."
Dr. El Majdoubi is an associate professor in the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Dominican University of California. He gives a summary of the science behind stem cells, what they are, and what they can do.
