WW Program - Mon. 10/24 - Sun. 10/30
I hope the SS Support group doesn't mind me copying them with the weekly thread! It's a great idea and a good way to all stay in touch and support each other.
I have lost 2 lbs. so far, but haven't been on the program for a week yet. I'm feeling great and already feel like I have more energy! That's probably more in my mind than physically, and more due to my exercise than diet. but it helps to keep me on track with my eating.
I hope you all have a great week and check in here to let us know how you are doing and any tips or ideas you might have for food choices, etc.
Two pounds for the week is great MaryAnn...I usually make my weigh in on Friday so I'll post later in the week.I was terrible with my food plan all week though so I am now back on track and eating right..We have had lots of company in the last week or two and I used that as an excuse not to eat on plan.....
So far this week I am right on and hope it will be a good week...One thing I read or heard yesterday while watching FitTV was that the artificial sweetner does the same thing to your blood sugar level that regular sugar does.......Anyone aware of this.....I ask because even though I am not a diabetic I think I could easily become one because of several factors.....
Hope everyone is doing really great....
Good morning WWer's!
Ruth, I am weighing in on Wednesdays, so I'm not quite at one week yet. I just had to weigh before the end of my week!
Jammer was home last night so I cooked and ate more than I normally would at the meal. But I didn't snack later as I usually do, so I ended up using exactly 20 points. Tonight is my book club meeting and tomorrow I baby sit for the twins, so my schedule will be mixed up for awhile.
I haven't heard about the artificial sweetener. But then, I also have no idea what my blood sugar levels are. I'm assuming they are normal.
Hope everyone is doing well on the WW program. Check in here to let us know what you're doing!
I made a little roast chicken yesterday and also made stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. I tried to eat a small amount, though. I use the gravy packets (Knorr) instead of making it with flour and fatty chicken drippings. It's only my husband and I at home.
Tonight, I had chicken and waffles. I bought the Kashi GoLean 7 grain waffles which are 170 calories for two but I only ate one. They are pretty good.
What do you eat when you eat out? We go out to eat for lunch a lot and I always have to figure out what to eat. Restaurants don't usually have a fish entree for lunch, unless it's a fish sandwich which is a no-no. And I get tired of chef's salads. Some have too much stuff on them anyway.
Today I had a shrimp salad which was good, but who knows how many calories it contained because of the mayo. I know Subway uses light mayo, but I don't know how many other restaurants do. I think it's as good as the regular mayo.
Good Thursday morning!
Blueheron, I think it is so much harder to watch your calories, points, etc. when you eat out. And some salads can be very deceiving! Always get your salad dressing on the side, so you can limit the amount. I try to avoid anything fried of course. Some restaurants will let you order a child's plate and that is usually enough for an adult!
I have a link on one of my webpages with foods and their nutritional values, or WW points. You can look over some of these and maybe make some good choices about lunch. WW info
Thanks for the sites, MaryAnn,
I have another question: I noticed that the Core Plant omits orange juice. I am on the Flex Plan, but I was wondering if I should not drink OJ, either. I know it contains a lot of sugar, even if it's fruit sugar. What do the dieters drink to get their vitamin C? I know sweet peppers and other veggies have vitamin C, but I don't know if I would eat them every day.
I've never done the core program, blueheron, so I'm not familiar with it. I simply count points and make choices using that system. I keep a big bowl of apples and oranges in my kitchen and usually eat at least one of each every day. I also take one vitamin a day. I guess I could add a Vitamin C every day, but have never felt that I needed it. I may pick up C and Calcium tablets this weekend and start taking them anyway. I know I need the calcium!
I've decided the more I eat, the more I want! I've been doing so well for the past week with my food choices. Yesterday my boss took me out for lunch and I ate more than I should. Later in the afternoon we had a cake at work and I ate a piece of it even though I felt stuffed! And when I got home I ate more than usual. Needless to say - I went over my points for the day! Good thing we have flex points! I usually don't use them, but definitely did yesterday!
Hope you all do well today on your WW!
Okay, where are all the WWers? I hope you haven't all left me here by myself. Or maybe you all have something more exciting to do. LOL
I've been pretty good this weekend so far. In fact I'm not even that hungry. Maybe my stomach is shrinking! I haven't done any exercises, but have been doing lots of work around the house.
Orange Juice and Core: The reason it's not on the core list is that on core you can eat/drink as much of the foods as you need to feel satisfied. You can drink up a lot more calories that way than eating the oranges themselves. (caloric density) Since you're doing Points, it's perfectly okay to 'drink' your oranges as long as you're counting the points for it.
I do fine all day long. Then comes the evening and night time. I have insomnia and wake up often during the night and have to eat. Surely does add up, so right now I'm maintaining.
Good luck, all.
PS: MaryAnn: Now that I know that you have this WW thread going, I'll try to remember to come here and keep you company.

How To Set Up A Cisco Lab On Linux (CentOS 5.2)Author: topdog • Tags: linux, other, virtualization, centos, commercial • Comments: 5 • Published: Aug 06, 2008
How To Set Up A Cisco Lab On Linux (CentOS 5.2) I recently decided to study for the Cisco CCSP certification. My main concern in the beginning was the fact that most of the lab simulation software that I found out there could only run on Windows, this was a problem for me given the fact that I do not own a windows computer. After a quick search I found the wonderful Dynamips project that goes beyond what other simulators do by running actual Cisco IOS images, as well as the PEMU project which allows for running of Cisco PIX images. To integrate the various pieces of software and provide an interface for interaction with the devices I used dynagen.

How to Configure OpenLDAP for the AXIGEN Mail ServerAuthor: alinap • Tags: commercial • Comments: 0 • Published: May 25, 2007
How to Configure OpenLDAP for the AXIGEN Mail Server LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. This protocol is used to access a directory listing. It is being implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs to enable lookup queries (searches for certain types of information). When compared to other querying architectures such as SQL databases, lookup speed is the major advantage of using LDAP. In large companies, a huge number of requests are made and storing the information in a database becomes a very resource consuming approach. The basic principle behind LDAP is the optimization toward many record reads and few additions or modifications. From an administrator's point of view, LDAP is fairly easy to use as long as the concepts behind the system are understood. It is not the most user-friendly application to use, but the benefits it provides are worth the extra effort.

Weekly Jobless Claims Jump to 302,000
(WASHINGTON) -- After falling in the previous week, claims for unemployment benefits jumped in the fourth week of July, according to the Labor Department's latest report released Thursday.
For the week ending July 26, the department said claims increased by 23,000 to 302,000. The previous week, claims stood at 279,000, revised down by 5,000 from 284,000.
The four-week average was also adjusted, falling by 3,500 to 297,250 -- the lowest level for this average since April 2006 when it was 296,000.
The Labor Department said there were no "special factors" impacting this week's figures.

A week ago, I reported on a spread I placed in advance of Keurig's (GMCR) announcement which comes after the market close on Wednesday. I bought Dec-14 140 puts and sold Nov-14 150 puts for a credit of $1.80 when the stock was trading just under $153. The spread should make a gain if it ends up Friday at any price higher than $145. You can still place this trade, but you would only receive about $1.15 at today's prices. It still might be a good bet if you are at all bullish on GMCR.
Today I would like to discuss a way to invest in China using options. One of our basic premises at Terry's Tips is that if you find a company you like, you can make several times as much trading options on that company than you can just buying the stock (and we have proved this premise a number of times with a large number of companies over the years). If you would like to add an international equity to your investment portfolio, you might enjoy today's discussion.

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Allan K. Chalmers
Happiness is like a cat, if you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.

one must conclude that the yahoo 14 estimate is wrong or this stock is undervalued, probably worth a call to the company
hate to show my stupidity but what is "yahoo 14"?
sorry for the cryptic comment. under earnings estimates i was referring to the 2014 analyist estimate for BXE. i called investor relations and keep in mind that they will in general give a rosy picture, to confirm earning est and the person said look at cash flow instead as a more reliable indicator of good things to come, the cash flow is increasing and projected to be even better in the future. i am thinking that this is a good candidate for a 100% increase in the next several months if oil holds at present levels. i am long BXE

You can trap for the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW extended keyboard keys in some Visual Basic controls by placing code in the KeyDown event procedure. The code uses KeyCode values to trap the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys. You cannot, however, trap the keys in all Visual Basic controls because some controls already have built-in functionality for the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys, so there is no KeyDown event generated.
The information in this article is provided to show that it is possible to trap the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys, however Microsoft does not recommend that you implement it because the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys have standard, predefined behavior on some controls. Microsoft recommends that you use the standard method for using the keyboard to move the focus; that is, use the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys or use the access keys.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.

Room was adequate for price point. Staff greeeting was poor and indignant. Valet was very pleasant and accomidating.
Easiest thing to correct was the evening hotel front desk clerk, poor customer service skills at check-in

The location was reasonable.
The staff were clueless - I asked for a quiet room and they moved me three times before putting me on the side of the building that was residential. The guy who checked me in mumbled everything and was also hostile - not a warm welcome.

Great customer service.
The lack of care of the establishment. The caulking in the rooms was moldy, thick, old and gross! faceplate appeared to be over 30+ years and the screws were rusted, the carpet and levelness off floors needed attention. Need new linens.

How to get that Vaska smell in towels
I'm curious of one thing - I love the smell of Vaska - smells like a high end spa. Would love to have that smell on our towels but sadly it doesn't make it past the washer.
I know some of you have tried their fabric softener and I thought that may be the ticket but then I read where some think it smells like fish. Definitely don't want that floating on the towels.
Any recommendations on a softener or something else that smells that good?
LOL ... only Larsi thought it smelled like fish.
I don't think it does. It has a light lavender smell. It does leave a little more scent than just the detergent.
I use it on my personal laundry (things like my pjs, sweaters, etc ...).
You really are not supposed to put FS on towels (don't get me going) but more natural FS is not as bad as conventional for affecting the fibre.
I usually just use Vaska and a little vinegar in the rinse. Helps to remove any residue and leaves towels super absorbent.
The Good Home Co. makes a laundry fragrance in lavender. I've never tried it but I'm tempted (it's an addiction). I have been let down by every lavender product I tried except Vaska - love that Vaska.
A couple high end linen shops I frequent sell this line.
Here is a link that might be useful: Good Home Store
I use the Vaska lavender fabric softener and it lingers pleasantly, but not overpoweringly. It has a slightly pungent smell in the bottle, owing to real lavender essential oils, but that bright, light Vaska smell out of the dryer. Give the FS a try.
Try slowing your spin speed to medium, that may retain a little more sent in your towels.
Thanks guys and gals. I may have to order up some of the Vaska Fabric Softener and reduce the spin speed to medium. I'm not 100% concerned about the towels - many are old from when I went to college in 1993. They have been incinerated in dorm and Laundromat dryers and some are quite stiff. I'm amazed at how they have held up over these years.
The wife and I may start replacing some soon but in the mean time, I'm free to experiment on these towels! :)
I tried using a little extra with medium spin and still no real smell was left on the towels. So I guess it's fabric softener time. Does anyone know if Target sells it or must I order from the web?
If that doesn't work, I'll pony up for the Good Home stuff. Does that smell as good as Vaska?
Thanks again!
@itguy08, if you order from soap.com you get free shipping with $25 or more. They don't ship to Canada which is a bummer. They carry Vaska.
Good Home smells a little different but is a true lavender smell.
I almost think Vaska has a unique smell all its own. My friend and I were just discussing this. It's lavender but it has a uniqueness.
I noticed drugstore.com has free shipping on orders over $25 everyday now. They also carry Vaska.
Good luck. Post back if you try it and what you think.

Sony A550 Review
Preview based on a production DSLR A550 (Firmware V1.0)
Sony's approach to the DSLR market has been an interesting one to watch - the first generation of the A2XX/3XX family was a three-camera assault on a market that most manufacturers had tried to address with a single model. Sony instead created three cameras that placed greater emphasis on attracting new users across from compact cameras (whether that be through price or what was, at the time, the most seamless, compact-like live view system on the market), rather than simply stripping down their higher-end models. With the recent refresh of that range, its cameras have moved even further towards a compact-user friendly interpretation of what an entry-level offering should look like - with the predictable result that the A230, A330 and A380 have prompted disappointment and even derision from the company's DSLR fan base.
However, the launch of the A500 and A550 make it clear not only that Sony wasn't aiming for existing DSLR users with its 2XX / 3XX series but also that it intends to break the entry level market down into more segments than any other manufacturer has before tried. So now, in the sub $900 market, Sony offers five DSLRs - the price conscious A230, the simplified A330 and A380 live view cameras and the A500 /A550 for the more experienced DSLR user.
As such the A5XX series cameras regain a couple of the features lost from the most recent 2 and 3-series models - so the 'fives' feature the larger 11.8Wh FM500H batteries used in previous Alphas and include Auto Exposure Lock buttons. There is also a wider selection of external buttons for giving fast access to a variety of shooting settings such as drive mode, ISO and D-Range, freeing up the four-way controller for AF-point selection.
The return of two-mode live view
The most notable feature of the new cameras, however, is the inclusion of a second live view mode. The A500 and A550 still sport a small secondary sensor in their viewfinders to provide live view with fast phase-detection AF, but can also utilize the slower but higher-resolution main-sensor live view system used by all other manufacturers, albeit without any autofocus at all (Sony dubs this mode 'MF Check Live View')
|Live view
|Optical Viewfinder
|MF Check Live view
|Roll your mouse over the above images to see how the light path is redirected between the viewfinder and live view sensor. With the mirror in the up position, the new MF Check mode does not direct any light to the AF sensor at the bottom of the camera and hence is manual focus only (the A550 cannot use its main imaging sensor for contrast-detection AF).
The other changes are also quite striking - the 3.0 inch LCDs (in a lovely high resolution incarnation on the A550), are better articulated than on the A330 and A380 and both 5-series cameras are based around CMOS, rather than the CCD technology of the 330 and 380.
A550 vs A500
As we've seen before with Sony the 500 series is actually made up of two very similar models; the camera on review here (Alpha 550) and its cut-down brother, the Alpha 500. The most important differences is the sensor - the A550 gets you an extra couple of megapixels - and the screen (the A550's has three times the resolution), but there's a few others to justify the $200 price gap:
- Sensor resolution (A550: 14.2MP, A500: 12.3 MP)
- LCD screen (A550: 3.0", 920k dots, A500: 3.0", 230k dots)
- Only the A550 offers the 'speed priority' 7fps shooting option (A500 max 5fps)
- A550 has a larger buffer (14 raw frames vs 3)
For the most part the first section of this review applies equally to the A550 and A500, though we'd expect the A500's image quality to be significantly different.
Key features
The A550 represents a new category of camera for Sony and the specification makes it look like the company is aiming fairly squarely for Canon's 500D and Nikon's D5000, pitching a little above both in terms of most specifications.
- 14.2 mp CMOS Exmor sensor
- Manual Focus Check Live View using the main imaging sensor
- 5fps in optical viewfinder mode (7fps with focus and exposure locked)
- New user interface
- HDR mode that combines multiple exposures
- 5-level manually selectable Dynamic Range Optimization
- Screen articulates up or down by 90 degrees
- Increased battery life (1,000 shots when using the viewfinder)
Sadly, the much asked-for depth-of-field preview and mirror lock-up options have not returned. In both live view modes, the lens aperture is kept wide-open until the shot is taken, giving no representation of depth-of-field. And, although the mirror could theoretically be kept in the 'up' position, the new MF Check live view system still flips the mirror down and up again just as the shot is being taken, even when combined with self-timer.
|The A550 is distinctly larger than the A380 - in fact it's much more similar in size to the A350, to the point that, with all its upgrades, it might appeal as a step up for A350 owners.
|The 5-series cameras are substantially smaller than the A900 and A850.

... a wander but nothing too heavy. On Monday morning we decided to walk into town, probably around 20 minutes to see what was happening, well, nothing. It is amazing but everything seems to close down, there are hundreds and hundreds of units and apartments that are closed for the winter, they generally won't open until April/May, same as the restaurants and shops, it is quite eerie walking through an almost empty town. ...
Nosotros en España!
We are in Spain! Found a camping site in Barcelona for tonight and tomorrow to celebrate New Year's Eve. Can't wait to shower and do laundry! (After boondocking in parking lots and "Aires" - essentially roadside rest stops - in France for several days, anything with real showers and toilets feels like a palace!) This campsite comes with a bar and restaurant ...
... waiting though, but really it went fairly quickly. It's crazy, well not really, but the more north you go, the colder it gets. But I'm talking drastically colder, it was actually freezing in Sant Celoni, and at Figurers it rained a fair bit, but someone I was lucky with my time and was in the Dali museo most of the time it was raining. The museum was actually gorgeous, I spent ...
Last day here. We are going to the caves this morning and then having paella for lunch, so keen to finally have some traditional Spanish food. Last night dinner was quite good, we went to a restaurant and had muscles which were so yum! Also some fish soup which was strange but good. It's sunny here today and looks like a beautiful day. Let's see how the day pans out ...
... Andreu has his little tantrums every now and then, and won't move, but all in all this trip had been fab so far. I really enjoyed doing some physical activity, it's getting good. We had lunch at the holiday house, and then watched tv a bit, which was quite boring, relaxing though. We are now back here after visiting the Christmas markets, which even though small, we're quite lively with lights and music. I bought some earrings at the town they were at, Bagur. ...

Discussion in 'Droid 3 Hacks' started by fishacura, May 19, 2013.
but he asked if he needed to remove bootstrap, before installing safestrap
Different phone. His old D3 had bootstrap installed, never made the jump to safestrap.
if bootstrap was never installed, then there is nothing to remove.
If you have cwr you need to undo the bootstrap with the app then install safe strap app and follow a similar process to install twrp recovery so you can have the multi ROM boots up to 5 with stock, but there's not much dev anymore on d3. But if you have put anything on this phone yet then just install the safe strap app.
Actually I did have one of the two phones rooted. Cannot determine how it was lost.So of course once I got root, knowing the phone was not a phone any-longer but a stand alone device (no VZ service any more) I started going nuts in Titanium backup deleting apps. Little risk because I'm not worried even if I trash the phone but I did make what seems to be a dumb mistake.I deleted something related to the Phone thinking "hey, no phone number any more so who cares". Now when I boot up I get an error message saying "The application com.motorola.hiddenmenu (process com.android.phone) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I think I deleted this com.android.phone app or whatever it is. Whoops. Hope it doesn't screw me up. I'm hoping once I flash a rom on here it will go away.
best to freeze apps with titanium backup pro, but worst case,
you can still recover by Flashing xml recovery files with RSD Lite
or use Official .906 1_click sbf .exe [03-28-2013]
if you install a rom it will have it's own phone apps
Thanks! Quick question. The first link doesn't take me anywhere....just to a generic forum page. Can you double check me and send the link?You guys rock!
ok will fix
edit: should be fixed not sure how I did that
first link is a bookmark link in my Droid 3 page
Is this your droid 3 page:https://docs.google.com/document/d/...aLPlBAAw/edit#bookmark=id.77zigoazhz70Because it changed and now instead of a forum I get a general page not available message lol! Not a big deal as the .exe method looks easy.
i don't know if google docs is having issues, or i'm not pasting correct
Droid 3 page
yes, the one click is pretty easy
Just tried the link for the hell of it and it works for me, so its pasted correct.
OK all...just used the rsdlite method to flash back to stock 5.7.906. Also just rooted using motofail. Both seemed to work and now I'm off to try safestrap. I absolutely LOVE doing this risk free since it's a throw away device. I really appreciate it! Memorial day will be spent understanding safestrap and flashing roms.
safestrap videos
How to Video's Root, safe strap, kexec, and much more
SafeStrap V3.04 for Razr, Razr Maxx, D4, Bionic, and D3!
How to install cm10.1 on the Droid 3 using safe strap 3.05
edit: any moto device with a locked bootloader like the Droid 3, is pretty hard to brick.
as long as you can get to Android Recovery and AP FastBoot
phone is not bricked.
THX! Doing it now!
I installed safestrap but when I reboot it takes me to a different screen. Was I supposed to install clockwork mod prior to this step? If so, I'll go back and do it I just wasn't sure.
you will need to manually install the .apk
Move apk to sd card, navigate to file with phone's file manager app, tap on it, select install,
you may have to change system settings to allow unknown sources
Menu > Settings > Applications > Unknown sources

"Slighted Souls" is a poignant love story set in rural Telangana, beset with feudal exploitation of the downtrodden dalits. Besides forcing the dalits to toil in the fields as bonded labor without impunity, the land owning doras had no qualms in reducing the womenfolk of this ilk as sex slaves in the gadis. "Men at work on Women at work" is a tragic-comic episode depicting the fallout of sexual harassment at the workplace in the Indian urban setting with its traditional cultural underpinnings. "Castle of Despair", built on the slippery ground of man's innate urge for one-upmanship, portrays its facade of falsity on the grand stage of human tragedy. The radio play, "Love on Hold", lends voice to the felt anxieties of a man and a woman as their old flame gets rekindled felt and the dilemmas of possession faced by the couple in a conservative cultural background.

A static budget is one that allocates the same amount of money each month, even for business processes that are prone to variation. For example, a static budget might provide a given amount for marketing but offer no provisions to change that amount even if a marketing campaign is phenomenally successful and sales soar through the roof. Static budgets are useful in circumstances where a company has no back-up sources of financing, but they can be restrictive for companies in a position to grow.
Uses of a Flexible Budget
A flexible budget is one that allows for variations in circumstances and customer demand. A flexible budget is useful in virtually any circumstance that business costs and expenses can change because of seasonal variations and a changing business climate. The most successful companies incorporate flexibility into their business models because so many aspects of operating a business are variable and uncertain. A flexible budget is a financial tool that accounts for these changes.
Static Budgeting
Flexible Budgeting
A flexible budget enables a company to change its strategy and upgrade or downgrade its preparations to adjust to shifting demand. Most companies use flexible budgets by allocating less money to business processes when their offerings are less in demand. Laying off employees and cutting back employee hours are flexible budgeting processes because they adjust payroll obligations relative to the need for staffing. Reducing supplier orders because previously purchased product is still on the shelf is another flexible budgeting process.
Seasonal Business
Seasonal business rhythms are an important reason for the usefulness of flexible budgeting. Businesses that rely on tourism experience seasons when they are busy and periods when they are slow. Companies that provision athletes for seasonal sports, such as skiing similarly experience dramatic fluctuations in customer demand with the seasons. Retail operations that gear up for Christmas similarly use flexible budgeting to stock up on inventory late in the year, and cut back during slower seasons.
Flexible Budgeting Strategies
Using a flexible budget to plan your company's finances in a shifting business climate can enable you to develop strategies for weathering slow seasons and expand into new areas to compensate for shortfalls. A flexible budget can provide you with the opportunity to trim down company operations during lean times, but it also highlights suitable times for making changes, such as introducing new products that complement the sales cycles of existing ones. A flexible budget can also help you to pinpoint times when your company may need additional financing.

We are frequent visitors to this hotel and love it because of the great hospitality. The suites are big and hold all of the amenities one needs. The pricing is comparable to others in the area that do not offer the suite with the full kitchen adding value!
We will definitely continue to stay with Candlewood Suites.
Great place to stay!

Great stay at a great property and beautiful area, the only downside was no breakfast but the reason is they have an extended stay feel with a 2 burner stove and microwave in the room which I did not use since it was a short stay. Oh and the dvd player and dvd's you can check out from the front desk is AWESOME caught up on some movies I haven't seen and some that are classics to watch again

Last week I asked for advice on a few things concerning my running journey, which is going very nicely thanks for asking and I should be ready for Comrades by this time next week. Which is pretty good when you consider I have only been training for one week, and most of that week was spent on the couch with the flu. But I digress.
Week 2 – Off the treadmill and out into the wild
