Get with the whole grain, guys and gals! I generally eat six servings
of whole grain daily. Never any white bread, white potatoes, or any
refined grains.

"THURSDAY, Nov. 6 (HealthDayNews) -- Children who start the day with a
bowl of bran cereal, muesli high in nuts and seeds, or porridge made
from rolled oats feel fuller and eat less at lunchtime than kids who
down corn flakes or white bread for breakfast."

A great article.

I hate to say it, but what the article really means is do not start
your day with sugar:) Did you know that most breads are made with lots
of sugar? I know of my reputation as an anti sugar zealot, but maybe
there is a grain of truth to what I say about sugar after all.

I felt the article was referring to the difference between starting your
day with high(corn flakes-white bread) or low GI foods(whole grains). Corn
flakes and white bread don't have a lot of sugar in them but they are high
GI foods. Most recipes for home made white bread only call for 1-3
tablespoons - that's not a lot for a whole loaf in my book. It even
mentioned the addition of sugar to the low GI food didn't seem to make a
difference. You've simply got to quit trying to shove the 'no sugar' sh.t
down other people's throat :) As my daughter would say "Give it a rest".

Well at least what came out of your mouth was useful. The only thing I've
heard out of the mouths of certain project members has been excuses. My
boss says he proud of the fact that I haven't killed one of them yet<g>

For the past few months I've been trying to migrate a 20 year old user
written Access database system to SQL and sync it to a mainframe IDMS
database. We knew it was going to be a tough project as this was a mandate
from higher up and the users don't like losing control of their system.
But you can't run a critical part of the business on an unsecured database.
Just when I thought we were ready to implement the system they decided to
hold off until after the first of the year. There reason was too many of
them had vacations scheduled for December. Twice we've had to delay
testing because their main contacts scheduled vacation during system and
certification testing. I don't believe these people know what 'schedule'
means. Oh well, I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I
told my boss he was never to schedule any changes to their system until
after I've retired.

Are you sure we don't work for the same company? :)
I too have a massive project deadline that is just as much of a dilbertism
as yours is.... And very similar w/ what's going on. The overall problem
with mine is - I'm the Database admin (as well as dubbed as programmer) but
the "project manager" is a Civil Engineer. Let me tell you - a Civil
Engineer has NO CONCEPT of software design. Feature creep is ... I don't
even have a word to explain it. Its HELL! And when the powersthatbe come
down on CE about when its going to be done, he says that he's waiting for
me. Then yells that I haven't given him any updates in a while, yet
whenever I schedule a meeting to discuss, he cancells due to other work
interruptions, but says we need to talk because he has more "changes" for me
to make. Its a Lose/Lose situation from HELL. John Adams would have a hay
day.

If I had this CE as my actual boss, I'd quit in a heart beat. I've already
expressed my opinion of him to the upper powersthatbe that this setup they
did was the worst idea they could have done and to put a software
development program into the hands of a power hungry CE was a very poor
decision. They agree, but at this point (7 yrs into the project) its too
late...

So - I empathize and I'm right there with you on the frustrations. :)
