Point S Tire & Auto Service, USA has significantly grown since transitioning from Tire Factory in 2015. In 2018 alone, it added 16 new retail locations and opened four new market states to its expanding roster of branded Point S Tire & Auto Service stores as it pushes towards the East Coast.
"Our co-op was created in 1983, with a singular Mission in mind – 'we exist to make our Members successful' – and I challenge my leadership team to live that Mission every day," said Walter Lybeck, CEO of Point S Tire & Auto Service, USA.
Annually, Point S Tire & Auto Service, USA conducts a detailed Owners Survey, measuring Co-op Members satisfaction using a Net Promoter Score.
"Members' success in performance is critical to our team and our growth. We asses store performance through a Net Promoter Score. When evaluating customer service, this is the premier process to measure the company's performance to its Member/Owners," reported Clint Young, Director of Sales and Business Development, Point S Tire & Auto Service, USA. "It's more than a number for us – it drives our direction and reinforces the decisions we make across the Co-op every day.
Based on results from the 2018 Member Survey, Point S Tire & Auto Service, USA averaged a 69 percent according to the Net Promotor. For most tests, this is might be a concern, yet the Net Promotor ecosphere pushes Point S into a world-class level of performance. For the Members, they join an elite class of customer-focused organizations and in a premier position to attract other independent tire dealers to join this Co-op.
"Focusing on evaluating performance gives us the opportunity to join the gold standard category with companies like USAA Insurance, Costco and Nordstrom is outstanding. It energizes our team to always provide expert service. This commitment across the co-op is yet another reason for independent tire dealers to be attracted to Point S. We provide a complete solution and world-class service that intrigues new members and retains them as owners indefinitely – that's our goal," explained Young.
Point S Tire & Auto Service, USA has Preferred Partnerships with Michelin, Goodyear, Hankook, and Nokian along with proprietary loyalty programs, marketing support, and solutions to increase tire dealer's gross profit.
By focusing on the dealer's complete success, it's no surprise that in the past 18 months Point S Tire, USA added 34 new locations, expanded into four new states, and opened its fourth distribution center in Memphis, TN.
"Our Members challenge my team with strategically growing the company. We know our Mission is the foundation of achieving those goals. As the industry faces disruption, bankruptcies, and further consolidation – the success and satisfaction of our Members have never been more important," said Lybeck. "Success in our industry is simple: provide the products, tools, and resources for independent tire dealers to make money and help them satisfy their customers. Those tools are fostered in our Member's showroom, not in a boardroom or driven by tire vendors.
"We've got a great team; we're focused on growing the Point S brand and helping our Members be successful. That's why our Net Promotor Score keeps climbing. Our Members loyalty is amazing, and will it fuel our success as we continue to cement our position as the largest cooperative of independent tire dealers on the planet. I hope it's a beacon of opportunity for independent tire dealers to join."

AMERICAN SUPERNATURAL TALES edited by S.T. Joshi
Penguin Classics (512 pages) $16.00
Editor S.T. Joshi has compiled a fine introduction to American (let's be daring and use the "h" word) horror literature. He provides a biographical introduction for each of the 26 well-selected stories and an informative overview of the subject with his opening essay. Joshi also offers solid suggestions for further reading while pointing out the significant lack of any sound historical discussion of supernatural fiction since Les Edwards's Living in Fear (published in 1975 — and, it is safe to say, a great deal has happened since then). He further justifiably asserts that although horror has been well-charted bibliographically, it lacks analysis and criticism. [Considering academia's current concentration on and subsequent publication concerning horror film rather than literature, there may be little hope of this changing, but college (or precocious high schooler) coursework based on this volume would certainly provide a good basic grounding for future critics.]
Keeping to his supernatural premise, Joshi excludes the venerable Charles Brockden Brown for making use of the "explained supernatural" and sees Washington Irving as the first American "supernaturalist". Nathaniel Hawthorne and his puritanical morality are acknowledged. Fitz-James O'Brien's "What Was It?" is included as influential, but the author is not mentioned in the Introduction. Poe, Bierce, and Lovecraft are seen as the "towering triumvirate of American supernaturalists". (Joshi himself is substantially responsible for the relatively recent — and no longer — controversial acceptance of Lovecraft's work as literature.) Robert Chambers' singular "The Yellow Room" is part of the content as is a typically ambiguous "The Real Thing" by Henry James. Edith Wharton is seen as a follower rather than an originator, yet August Derleth is not and gets a story slot.Clark Ashton Smith is cited for his cross-genre amalgam and "dense, idiosyncratic prose." Robert E. Howard is given a nod for "definitively establish[ing] the subgenre of sword and sorcery as a viable component of the supernatural or adventure tale." Although one winces at a bit of overly simplistic Howard bio: "Despondent over the imminent death of his mother, Howard committed suicide in 1936." Joshi also leaves the realm of the factual with the assertion that Anne Rice's "following now may be even greater than [Stephen] King." (Even if one does not consider literary and cultural influence, King has outsold Rice by a more than three-to-one margin since the advent of Nielsen BookScan alone.)
Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, Fritz Leiber, Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, and King are all put into viable literary context. Both the casual reader and (the often behind-the-times) horror maven are brought up to the dawn of the current century with the inclusion of Dennis Etchison's modern classic "The Night Shift", Thomas Ligotti's "Vasterian", Karl Edward Wagner's "The Endless Night," Norman Partridge's "The Hollow Man," Joyce Carol Oates's "Demon," David J. Schow's "Last Call for the Sons of Shock," and Caitlin Kiernan's "In the Waterworks (Birmingham, Alabama 1888)." T.E.D. Klein's 1972 novella "The Events at Poroth Farm" is an interesting, if possibly debatable, choice. Further, the small press and the Internet are seen as the "predominant" venues today for horror as a whole. This may be true of the short form, but supernatural novels are not so confined.And therein lies part of the worth of this tome: it serves as a valuable starting point for thoughtful evaluation and discussion of American (and other) horror literature. American Supernatural Tales provides both fiction and framework that offer plenty to chew on and minor points to quibble over. Anyone with a true interest in the subject must consider this widely available and inexpensive edition required (and enjoyable) reading. (ISBN: 9780143105046) — Paula Guran

THE METATEMPORAL DETECTIVE by Michael Moorcock
Pyr (327 pages) $25
The Metatemporal Detective is a collection of stories featuring the metatemporal investigator Seaton Begg (explicitly based on Sexton Blake) and his adversary (but not exactly enemy), the albino Monsieur Zenith (based on a villain by that name from the Sexton Blake stories). But Michael Moorcock's works are all set in a Multiverse, with characters from different series showing up in altered form all over the place — so in this book we encounter Una Persson and we learn that Monsieur Zenith is actually a Von Bek. Eventually even Elric of Melniboné is tied in. Indeed the title adjective reveals that Begg's investigations cross different times and universes — and, indeed, these stories seem set in more than a couple of alternate histories. Multiple fates, for example, are revealed for Adolf Hitler. Certain fictional characters also appear — such as an offhand reference to Georges Simenon's Inspector Maigret. I found the book, for the most part, very enjoyable, though one or two of the individual stories are less than successful. Moorcock is overtly emulating a rather pulpish model and the writing and the plots quite nicely reflect this. At the same time he is not unserious — the stories concern the ongoing battle between Law (represented by Begg) and Chaos (represented by Zenith) — and one conceit is that neither side can be allowed to win. Though it is interesting to note that, in most cases, the plot involves Begg cleverly figuring out what Zenith is up to — but being unable to stop him.The publishing history is of interest as well. In particular, two of the stories date to the sixties, and neither of those was actually written as a Seaton Begg piece. Both first appeared pseudonymously in publications edited by Moorcock. These are "The Girl Who Killed Sylvia Blade" (originally "The Girl Who Killed Sultry Caine" by Hank Janson) and "The Pleasure Garden of Felipe Sagittarius" (originally by James Colvin). Neither really seems to fit with the rest of the stories in the book — though both are enjoyable — and "The Pleasure Garden of Felipe Sagittarius," with its wild admixture of historical characters in altered situations and its unusual murder mystery, is not terribly out of place. Given the metatemporal nature of the whole setup, we can readily regard these stories as coming from slightly more "distant" alternate histories, where Seaton Begg took on some different characteristics.The stories cover a variety of twentieth century villains in various states of disguise. Hitler shows up in several; we also meet Stalin, the IRA, and versions of dastardly contemporary British and American politicians. Some stories deal with more exotic (if no more dangerous) menaces. The Grail is a recurring object of attention. The settings range from England to Paris to Central Europe to Texas and, of course, across the Multiverse.My favorite episodes include "London Flesh," in which Begg investigates the disappearance of a train in the English countryside, a disappearance linked with rumors of cannibalism; "The Case of the Nazi Canary," a murder mystery involving an alternate Adolf Hitler; and "Sir Milk-and-Blood," about a pair of IRA killers meeting a contact who proves more terrifying than any law enforcement. Also notable: "The Affair of Le Bassin des Hivers," in which investigating a murdered prostitute leads Begg and company across time, and the one story original to the book, "The Flaneur des Arcades de L'Opera," which manages to tie together a number of the various themes and obsessions of the series nicely. Begg comes to Paris to unravel a plot involving the deposed Hitler and his resistance movement with the mysteriously appearing and disappearing Monsieur Zenith and Una Persson. The affair leads them to the very heart of the Multiverse, to revelations involving Zenith's unusual sword, and the continuing struggle between Law and Chaos.The book as a whole is great fun and it reads very well either as a connected set of stories or as simply a collection. These are not, on the whole, the best known stories in Moorcock's corpus, so it is nice to see them all together as the grouping gives them additional significance and weight.

It's the middle of August, and B&N still hasn't announced a new ereader, so you know what that means.
They're stuck with flogging last year's ereader for the back-to-school period.
Barnes & Noble has just announced a price cut on the Nook Glow. This ereader combines an easily damaged frontlight with an out-of-date E-ink screen, now costs $99 in the US.
At first glance this compares well to the Kobo Glo and the Kindle Paperwhite, 2 ereaders which retail for $129 and $119, but those ereaders also have higher resolution screens and frontlights which can't be damaged simply by dropping your car keys on the screen.
And the Nook Glow is not going to look good when compared to what is going to be announced in the next month or so. If you're thinking about buying an ereader, don't forget that Kobo has an event coming up in a couple weeks. They're bound to announce a new ereader (and a tablet).
There's a good chance Amazon is going to announce something new, and heck, for all we know B&N might have a new Nook in the pipeline. There's nothing new on the FCC website, but that could change.

As such, the food available is practically limitless in its diversity of taste, color, and texture. While spending close to a month in London, I made every effort to sample food from all over. I've compiled only some of my favorites (as I am often too hungry/excited about the food to wait and take a picture). Looking forward to celebrating America on the Fourth of July with great company and good food! Where The Pancakes Are (Photo by @e_beth_4) Every brunch I find myself constantly torn between savory or sweet when in reality I want a little of both. Where the Pancakes Are has a great selection of savory and sweet pancakes to suit everyone, most especially me. The Forest Berries is two pancakes with a berry compote, greek cream, crushed meringue, and toasted almond flakes. Though thoroughly satisfied, I was also eyeing the pancakes with hollandaise, poached eggs, tarragon asparagus and smoked salmon. Guess I'll have to go back. Arch 35a, 85a Southwark Bridge Road Borough Food Market On any given day, Borough Market is a bustling affair chalk full of food vendors. I went just before lunch and found that all the little shops and stands are more than willing to give out free samples of food. Before noon I'd almost had a whole lunch of olive oil, baguette, truffle cheese, honey, brownie pieces, granola, mango lassi but (as if that wasn't enough), I decided to stop at a truck selling Indian street food. The trio of vegetarian dishes caught my eye and I was more than content with the lovely combo of curry, vegetables, yogurt and tamarind despite not being to finish it all. 8 Southwark Street In & Out Food Court Saturday morning involved a quite large brunch (no picture but smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on Irish soda bread, plus a scone with jam & clotted cream). A few hours later I was actively-unhungry, but my boyfriend was wowed by the elaborate waffles and had to get one, the King Chocolate, for himself (in typical fashion I snagged a bite). Check em out –you won't regret it. 1 Addington Square, Camberwell Pear Tree Street Balcony One Friday evening called for some decompressing over homemade guacamole, sweet chili chips and a glass of fresh Pimm's before dinner. There are worse ways kick off a weekend and enjoy the balmy weather, I'm sure. Kaia at the Ned First Course: Tuna Tataki (pineapple salsa and dashi soy) & Waygu Beef Tataki (lotus root and truffle) The first course was every bit as good as it looked. My tuna was perfectly seared & complemented well by the pineapple. The tataki was a given a bit of a crunch with baked potato crisps in the shape of a flower. Main Dish: Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl (avocado, pineapple, and chili) & Salmon Poke Bowl (mango, yuzu, and salmon caviar) Our poké bowls were clearly fresh, artfully constructed and used interesting ingredients. Delicious. To Drink: Guava Gimlet (Bombay Sapphire, toasted cardamon and guava cordial) & Yuzu Splash (Yuzu Sake, grapefruit, lemon, cucumber, and kombucha) The Ned Hotel, where Kaia is located, is actually the former Midland Bank entirely renovated. By keeping the interior structure intact, the building is able to maintain its former charm and as such, it's hugely reminiscent of the 1920s. Be sure to check out any of the other 6 restaurants in the massive main lobby if stopping by The Ned. 27 Poultry Snowflake Gelato Sticky, sweaty summer weather had me thinking ice cream, but gelato hit the mark equally well. Coffee and Milk Chocolate gelato to be exact–yum. Snowflake Gelato is just beyond Hyde Park and has a massive selection of tasty looking gelato desserts. 44 Edgware Rd

Considering that this residence is placed on a hill, the landscape design concept is distinct. The trees are pruned right into perfect square forms and are placed on 3 elevated stone walls. The steeper side attributes tall trees, while accent bushes invite you right into the driveway.
14. Floral Hillscape
Hills produce elegant landscape design possibilities. The sidewalk has stairways at 2 places heading to the door, as well as the majority of the area is covered in compost and environment-friendly plants and bushes. The spot of grass creates a horseshoe impact in the garden that looks amazing.
15. Rock Garden of Serenity
This rock garden serves as a centerpiece in this front lawn. It has a sensational tree in the middle of the yard that is emphasized with little plants as well as bushes that are beautifully trimmed.

New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
New Westminster, British Columbia is home to the Brewery District, a nine-acre mixed-use community rich in history and culture. The development of this site includes the construction of the Translink Building. The Translink is the second building of eight that will find a home in the Brewery District.
The contractor chosen for the project consulted with EFCO for a forming solution that would deliver the best value and lowest in-place concrete cost for the elevated slab construction. EFCO offered the EFCO DECK®multi-purpose handset shoring system and provided a total of 47,000 ft2 (4,370 m2) of equipment to accommodate the shoring and decking demands of the project.
EFCO DECK is a good solution to handle slab construction where flying tables are not practical or, in some cases, not allowed. All components are made of high strength galvanized steel and aluminum. This provides a lightweight and durable system that requires little or no clean-up between uses.
The EFCO DECK system incorporates a drop head that provides users with an efficient way to cycle from floor to floor. After a pour is complete at the ground floor commercial level and the slab is on its way to full strength, the drop head releases the primary and secondary beams supporting the slab so that they can be removed and cycled ahead to the next pour while E-Z Shores and lateral bracing panels stay behind to support the slab. This greatly improves the cycle time from pour to pour. The primary and secondary beams will be reused with single stage EFCO DECK posts for the typical floors above the commercial level.
For versatility, the EFCO DECK drop head easily mounts to the E-Z DECK® Shore Post so that towers of any height can be constructed if the project demands it. This was the case for the contractor on this project when forming the slabs for the main floor and parquet levels at heights of more than 30′-0″ (9.1 m). This system combining EFCO DECK and E-Z DECK can sometimes be the best solution for elevated poured-in-place concrete slabs.

On Monday the Cambridge Usability Group welcomed Rahel Bailie, all the way from Vancouver, to give a talk titled 'The Content Strategy Paradox'. There's been a lot written about content strategy recently. I've read articles and books that promote content strategy (too many to list here) and some articles that question the existence of content strategy as a standalone discipline, like this recent one. So I was keen to hear what Rahel had to say.
The first part of Rahel's talk addressed confusion over the definition of the term 'content strategy'. She highlighted that recent workshops and events have promoted a number of seemingly paradoxical interpretations of the term 'content strategy'. But in reality, whilst there are a wide range of specialisms that involve content (including web, social, mobile, editorial, brand positioning, marketing, support and technical), there is only one discipline. In other words, it's all content strategy!
Rahel then covered some of the processes and approaches to researching, planning, developing, publishing and managing content.
One of the main takeaways for me was that "Consumers use all types of content to make buying decisions". Customers don't differentiate between marketing, support and social content, so neither should you.
Rahel provided some excellent 'do' and 'don't' examples of how content affects our purchasing decisions. I think everyone who uses the internet has experience of struggling to gather and compare product information before making a purchase. Companies that fail to focus their content on user needs and tasks or provide sufficient, detailed support information and leverage user generated content are missing a trick!
However, having great quality content is not enough. Rahel outlined that you also need to know how and when to deliver your content, and to which audience. Think about whether all your content is relevant to all your customers. Chances are it isn't. This tweet from one of the audience summed up the amusing example Rahel gave us!
Overall it was a really entertaining and useful talk. I was busy sketching away throughout (something I'm trying out to improve my skills in sketching and summarising information), so here are my sketchnotes:
And here are Rahel's slides from a previous presentation of the same talk:

Love the illustration and very appropriate when it comes to talking about content.
Did Rahel define what counts as content? I've heard people become quite sensitive about their work described as content
Tim, I wanted to address your question. I define content as human-usable, contextualized data. In other words, if it's a code or a number, it's probably not data because there is no context; it's a value in a database. Once you create some context (such as 12 = December), then it's content. Content is the coffee inside of a cup; it's the music inside of iTunes; it's the videos on YouTube; it's the blog posts on a blog. I'm not sure why people be sensitive about their work being labelled "content" – it's the gift inside the box, the cake under the icing! It could be a little one upmanship, I suppose: content isn't cool. so while I agree that the framework of IA and design and other UX elements are important, I also recognize that when you can't find something on a site, you aren't likely to stay and admire the wonderful framework. In a nanosecond, you're doing another Google search to find the, ahem, content you want to find.
Sorry for the rant. Well, it's not really a rant – a response is content, too. 🙂

Booze to kill 135,000 Brits through cancer over the next two decades
REPORT suggests an average of 7,100 people will die each year by 2035 costing the NHS £2billion
BOOZE will kill 135,000 people through cancer over the next 20 years.
Experts say the estimated 7,100 deaths a year by 2035 could cost the NHS £2billion.
Of these cases, 3,674 will be cancer of the oesophagus, 1,369 bowel cancer and 835 breast cancer.
The 135,000 deaths will be among more than 1.2 million hospital admissions for cancer caused by boozing over the 20-year period, forecasts a University of Sheffield report.
The figures even take into account recent falls in alcohol consumption, particularly among younger generations.

Evidence suggests the more alcohol a person drinks, the higher their cancer risk.
Modelling suggests that, compared with non-drinkers, women who regularly drink two units a day have a 16 per cent increased risk of developing breast cancer and dying from it.
But those who regularly consume five units a day have a 40 per cent increased risk.
For every 1,000 women who do not drink, 109 will develop breast cancer.
This rises to 126 women for those who drink 14 units or less per week, and 153 women for those who drink 14 to 35 units a week.
One theory is that it damages DNA. The devastating study, for Cancer Research UK, also found a 50p minimum price per unit could reduce deaths linked to alcohol by around 7,200 over the 20 years, including around 670 from cancer.

If you love all things shiplap, dutch doors, and stripes then this nautical beach house is for you! I've expressed my love of dutch doors before in this Coastal Home post, and just like my love of tiny houses, my love for dutch doors is never ending. I think my love for this style door comes from the fact that you really need to live somewhere warm and sunny if you plan on getting any real use out of it. Also if I've never told you how much I love shiplap, let me take a minute… or two. Being the nautical lover that I am, I gravitate towards stripes. I feel like shiplap is the stripe lover's architectural equivalent. The bonus of shiplap, if you happen to love stripes too, is that it's a sort of neutral stripe. Therefore, you can layer other stripes (think pillows and fabrics) on top of stripes (aka shiplap). It's an abundance of stripes, and I'm loving it!

Counterparties: The hourglass economy

What's a retailer to do with a widening gap between rich and poor customers? Starbucks is the latest chain to target America's "hourglass economy." By cutting 10% off its grocery-store coffee bags while keeping in place the price hikes it put in place in its cafés last year, Starbucks is simultaneously pushing both its discount and premium products.
It's a sensible strategy: low-wage occupations have dominated new jobs in the last few years, even as high-earners captured 121% of the income gains of the economic recovery. In 2011, the WSJ noted Procter & Gamble's "high and low" approach to consumers by promoting its expensive Olay and Gillette products, while introducing a bargain dish soap for the first time in 38 years. The shrinking of the middle class "required us to think differently about our product portfolio and how to please the high-end and lower-end markets," a P&G executive told the WSJ. "That's frankly where a lot of the growth is happening." Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and ConAgra have also developed or expanded their offerings at both ends of their product lineups, according to LEK Consulting.
This is a strategy recently-ousted JC Penney CEO Ron Johnson would have been wise to pay attention to, writes Rita McGrath. Johnson's goal of turning the retailer into "Bloomingdale's for the mass market" was a non-starter "because the mass market is gone."
Which isn't to say this approach works for everyone. After trying to go high end with smoothies and salads, McDonald's has now reverted to emphasizing its Dollar Menu more aggressively this year after promotions of its more expensive menu items failed to "resonat[e] with consumers," in the words of CEO Don Thompson. – Peter Rudegeair

Beer and diabetes relate in several ways. First, diabetics must monitor the amount of any alcohols consumed, because most alcohol contains sugar or carbohydrates, which affect blood sugar levels. Beer affects medications used to treat diabetes, and there are times when beer can dramatically lower blood sugar, which proves problematic if a person is incapacitated from drinking and doesn't realize he has become hypoglycemic. Lastly, beer does not have great nutritional value and consuming it may mean consuming a lot of empty calories that make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight.
Any diabetic has to keep constant watch on blood sugar levels. It is dangerous when sugar levels rise above normal (hyperglycemia), or sink below normal (hypoglycemia). A diabetic uses medication to maintain sugar levels within a safe range, and depending on when beer is consumed, the beer and diabetes connection may mean creating a scenario where a person becomes hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic. On an empty stomach, a beer can dramatically lower blood sugar levels, and after significant eating, one or more beers may raise these levels. Essentially, beer and diabetes are connected in one way because they act together to make it more difficult to control blood sugar levels.
Much of the time the real danger with beer and diabetes is that the beverage may induce hypoglycemia. Alcohol can shut off sugar production in the body and when this is combined with medications for diabetes that do the same, people can end up with dramatically low blood sugar. The symptoms of low blood sugar can be mistaken for intoxication, and the more beer a person drinks, the less likely he or she is to notice the hypoglycemic state to take medications that can correct it. For this reason, doctors recommend that patients not consume much of any type of alcohol in one sitting, or at any time, and they should especially not drink beer on an empty stomach or after taking medication to lower blood sugar.
Diabetics are enjoined to keep healthy diets and maintain a healthy weight. Many people are even able to discontinue medications simply by losing weight. Beer and diabetes have a further connection when it comes to weight maintenance. Beer can have a lot of calories, and sometimes contains more calories than a soda. Just because beer isn't sweet, it does not mean that it isn't caloric and an obstruction to weight maintenance. People are better off avoiding it completely, or restricting their consumption of beer and other types alcohol to minimal and occasional use.
There have been some interesting studies on diabetes and beer drinkers, and though some of the studies are several decades old, they do suggest correlation between beer drinking, diabetes and higher earlier mortality rates, when compared to diabetics who principally drank other alcohols like wine. Additionally, significant beer drinking may increase risk for diabetes, if they gain a lot of weight from empty calories. There's suggestion that beer and alcohol consumption of all other types are best in moderation, whether or not people have diabetes.

We are all slaves to some vice. For some, it's food, some it's pills, alcohol, smoking, excessive anything isn't good. Just stay lean. It's the best advice I can give, and if you're not lean, than start lowering you intake to lean down.
Everything in moderation. Excess due to overindulging will result in some form of breakdown, mental and physical.

@SauteePan - I think that sugar free foods taste so good because they often add more fat and other ingredients to make the food taste good.
There was a package of sugar free shortbread cookies that I would buy because I really liked the taste until I realized that they contained over 50% fat.
From then on, I bought the regular cookies and just modified the amount that I would eat.
Also, I noticed that with some of the sugar free foods they tend to create constipation if you eat too many of these types of foods. So I try to eat these types of food in moderation.
Post 4
@Brickback - I agree with you. In fact many of the diets that offer lean protein and whole grain carbohydrates are also recommended for diabetics as well. I am also glad that I never had a problem with alcohol because I really do not like the taste of it. At least it is one high calorie drink that I don't have a problem eliminating from my diet.
I also wanted to say that there are a lot of sugar free foods that do taste pretty good. With some of them I can't really tell the difference between regular foods and foods are sugar free. These sugar free foods have really come a long way.
Post 3
@Sunshine31 - I know that the diabetic diet requires an elimination of sugar and processed carbohydrates, but if you think about it, a diabetes diet is actually a healthy diet for everyone to follow. Even if you don't have diabetes, if you follow a type 2 diabetes diet for example, most people would lose a lot of weight and would actually have a lot more energy along with healthier hearts.
I heard that it has something to do with sugar and the way that the body metabolizes it. When a person ingests sugary foods it tends to hinder the body's mechanism for burning calories which is why the removal of sugar is the first thing that is required in all diets in order to lose weight.
Post 2
@Anon143368 -I am so sorry to hear about your condition. I know that a lot of young kids start drinking at an early age and later develop a dependence to alcohol. It also happens with cigarette smoking too.
So you are definitely not alone. Alcohol and diabetes are a big problem but thankfully there are a lot of support groups and treatment options available for those that are suffering with both conditions.
Post 1
Scary. I've been drinking beer excessively since high school and now I'm 57, recently diagnosed with type 2. This article helped me understand why it's been so difficult to "manage" my alcoholism lately.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

1967 Volvo P1800 P1800S 1800S 1800So I've been told I'm too wordy in my descriptions. I'll keep it short this time and let the pictures speak. Of course your welcome to call and ask all the questions you want. 586.321.6572.
This is a very nice solid daily driver that is great fun to drive. Has really nice interior and dash. The paint is about 3-5 years old. If your not in love with the two-tone paint it would cost less than $1000 to have the orange painted over black. I thought about doing it but have other volvos to get ready to sell. As I mentioned very solid car. Floors and frame rails in good shape with two small rust areas on drivers side floor and inner rocker. Some minor bubbling on rockers as well. Engine runs great with good even compression. I just put new tires on the car. Mileage is unknown. So that's the quick description. Like I said call me for more details.
International buyers are very very welcome to bid on my car. I love you guys!!! I've been lucky enough to ship 8 Volvos to Europe in the last year. It's a fairly easy process if you can do some work on your end finding a good transport company. The cost to ship most cars to Europe is between $2800-$3200. That's for inland transport to New Jersey, transport by boat, and taxes and paperwork. Cost will vary depending on country of course.
If your in the United States and need a transport company I can recommend a great one with reasonable rates.
I've made two YouTube videos. One showing me driving the car and the other is a slideshow of 165 pictures. I strongly recommend watching these and please consider them part of my description of the car. To find that video search "Nick Tarlton 1967 Volvo 1800S Black/Orange Coupe & Nick Tarlton 1967 Volvo 1800S Coupe Black/Orange Coupe Country Drive"
Deposit will be by PayPal. Cash would be great for the balance but bank transfers or money orders also work.

DESCRIPTION: The house is laid out over 4 floors offering distinctive features all through which additionally extends to the private garden. My question is that if we dont get certified for loan modification and are pressured to do quick sale. And even in more moderen decades in international locations similar to China, there might have been no such concept as a nail house. My brother in law introduced a home 5 yrs never was mounted mortage his intrest charge is 9.5 % he hardly in a position to pay his mortage he misplaced his f/t job he mortage cost went from 1296.00 to 1900.00 as a result of BOA paid the taxes he been working.
We moved out of the condominium as a result of it was suppose to promote and we purchased our new house. My mother and older sister had to clear the mess up. The entire house smelled terrible for fairly a while. After he left the house it was later determined that he didn't file federal taxes for three years with two of those years being married to my daughter. Damp walls can affect your belongings and your well being, and it's just not nice living in a damp home. I am not sure what happens for those who don't move out earlier than the foreclosures sale, however since there isn't a redemption interval, I would play it secure and make sure to get my stuff moved out earlier than the sale. The earliest surviving pictures of the construction web site present the body of the home with mature, wrapped, and wired bushes already in place.
My dad got here from a household of 13 brothers and sisters and though his era kept in touch and met up for the annual new year's eve celebration and on other occasions, the younger generations, sadly, did not keep up the custom – hence Jon and I had by no means met. The home desperately needs a new roof which is going to make it more durable to sell, although technically, in this area, the home itself is worth nothing, the value is all in the land. If the value at that sale is greater than what's owed including legal charges for the foreclosures then it's likely the bank must pay you the stability. We lived within the condominium for a couple of years after which decided to buy a home for more space. If in case you have scrap carpet, that's simply superb, especially when you had your house carpeted and have some leftover because the cat construction will match your house.
Should you can afford the payments, you will probably be higher off holding the house. This is the part of this entire ordeal that I do not perceive and I don't know methods to assist my daughter and finally she's going to have to go away this house and I do not know what she's going to do and all I know is I don't need my daughter to stay in a cardboard field and will do all I can to help her. At the moment, Cuellar is the Home Democrat with the very best Trump settlement rating. If there are other things unsuitable with the home moreover the mould, record them out in your letter and get estimates for those too. Now we have lived right here for thirteen years and previous to that the house was empty for a very long time however we've put in double glazing and improved the property but we still haven't got on prime of this downside.
In 1888, local resident Alexander Graham Bell donated an ambulance, and an anonymous donor had an ice house built on the property in 1890. There is not going to be any out-of-pocket costs to you if your own home goes via foreclosure, with the exception of move-out prices. We adopted him from an exotic reptile retailer when he was about 2 months outdated & has been our favourite little buddy ever since.

By Patrick Galvan, Storage.com
Often, when moving or renovating, people will rent a storage unit to temporarily keep furniture, appliances, and other belongings safe and out of the way. While most items will be fine in storage, wooden furniture requires more attention. Since wooden furniture is susceptible to damages like scratches, cracks, warping, and rotting, you need to protect it with enough storage space, climate control, and storage preparation.
How Much Storage Space Will You Need?
During a move or renovation, you'll probably be storing other items along with your wooden furniture, which means you'll need a storage unit that's large enough to accommodate all of the items you're storing. However, since wooden furniture is more susceptible to cracks and scratches, it's a good idea to have enough storage space to keep items from touching or falling on each other.
"One thing to keep in mind is to be sure that nothing is crammed in your storage unit," says Melissa Stiles, Marketing Manager for StorageAsset in York, Penn.
While it might sound more efficient to stack boxes and other items on top of wooden tables and chairs so you can rent a smaller and slightly cheaper storage unit, it's not worth the cost of having to repair damages.
In most cases, a 5×10 will work when storing a wooden table and chairs, as well as some boxes and other small furniture. But if you're storing the entire contents of a home or office, you may need a bigger unit, such as 10×10, 10×20, or 10×30. "It's better to get a bigger unit than to pile furniture and risk damaging your belongings," Stiles adds.
Using Climate-Controlled Storage to Prevent Damage
When storing items with wooden components, it's necessary to seek out a storage facility that offers climate-controlled storage units. This feature acts as an air conditioner, heater, humidifier, and dehumidifier to control the temperature and humidity within your storage unit.
Why is this important? Wood tends to contract in colder temperatures and expand in warmer temperatures. After shrinking and expanding, cracks and deformations will appear in the surface of the furniture, lessening its appeal and potentially weakening its structure. Using climate control, you can keep your storage unit between 55-85°F, preventing temperature-related damages to your wooden furniture while it's being stored.
High concentrations of humidity can also lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can rot wood if left untreated. Mold and mildew are also troublesome because the growth inside a contained space, like a storage unit, can spread to other items. If you're storing electronics, paper documents, leather furniture, or clothing in your unit alongside your wooden furniture, these items can get damaged as well.
Should mold develop on your furniture, United Kingdom-based Oak Furniture UK says removing it isn't too difficult. "It's relatively easy to remove mold by scrubbing the infected area with a sponge, water, and a small drop of detergent. This can be damaging if a bleach-based product is used, so be extra cautious."
Additional Tips for Storing Wooden Furniture
Before moving wooden furniture to self storage, clean and polish it. "[Use] either furniture polish or linseed oil before storage to ensure the wood stays moisturized," says Oak Furniture UK. "If wood isn't moisturized before storage, you run the risk of the wood drying out. This can further lead to cracking and splitting."
Also, if your unit is cluttered, Stiles recommends taking wooden furniture apart (if possible) and storing it in segments. "Dismantling the furniture as much as possible is a great way to ensure it's being protected and stored carefully as well," she explains.
Even though furniture is designed to sit on floors, when it's in storage, you should keep it elevated. "Keep wooden furniture off the ground to allow ventilation," Oak Furniture UK advises. "If you have no space in your storage unit, remove the legs (if this is possible without damaging the furniture)." If removing the legs isn't an option, you can always set your furniture on pallets. In addition to improving ventilation, this will keep your furniture from damage caused by unexpected hazards, such as floodwater getting into your storage unit.
Wooden furniture is prone to damage, so providing adequate storage conditions is a must to ensure its survival. It's important to find a self storage facility that offers climate control and enough space and take care of your wooden furniture before and during its time in storage.

It's About Damn Time, It's About Damn Time!
NBA Rookie of the Year, 8-time NBA All-Star selection, 2008 Scoring Title, 3-time NBA MVP, and 6-time NBA All First Team selection would seem to be enough accolades to be considered one of the best ever. Well, for Lebron James it wasn't until last night when he led his Miami Heat to the NBA Title and picked up his first ever Championship ring and Finals MVP award. The dark cloud that has been following over Lebron's head since he decided to take his talents to South Beach has finally gone away and now the best player in the world can get the credit he deserves. I can't say I was rooting for James to win it, but as a basketball fan and they way he won it was absolutely remarkable.
From the opening tip in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, James seemed determined to finish the series in Miami and not have to travel back to the most hostile environment in the NBA, OKC. Fittingly, Miami's first two points were from an emphatic slam by James and from that point on you just felt that his talents had finally surfaced in South Beach the way he promised his fans back in 2010. Throughout the playoffs I was cheering against Miami for no other reason than I am a huge supporter of the underdog. I mean I am a Mets, Knicks and Jets fan. In this game, as the minutes slowly diminished and Miami was rapping up their rout of the Thunder, 121-106, I found myself smiling and slightly impressed with what Miami had accomplished.
There's something to be said about winning a championship, but there is a lot more to be said about a team that wins a championship when most of the world is rooting against them. As much as I would like to not give any credit to anyone except Lebron, I can't. This Championship run was a legitimate team effort. From consistently strong games from Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, to surprising shooting performances from Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers, there was really no chance for OKC. The second that the Thunder developed a game plan, Miami seemed to have their counterattack ready to go.
In the clinching game 5, Miami's surprising star was non-other than "Sir Limps A Lot," Mike Miller. Like a robotic zombie, Miller limped up and down the court and just drained 3-pointer after 3-pointer. Miller entered the game 0-3 from downtown, but after game 5 finished he was an astonishing 7-11 for the series. For all you math whizzes out there, that means he went a lights out 7-8 from beyond the arc in an NBA Title clinching game…that is amazing! I hate to say it but even Miami's undeserving coach seemed to of run a few plays that actually looked like he knew what he was doing. I find it remarkable that a team that has basically been together for 2 years waited till their final game of the NBA Finals to show the world their best stuff.
Sure Miami won their second Championship ever as a franchise and it was a total team effort, but what the fans of basketball will always remember this series as is Lebron's first title. Now, will it be the first of many like Lebron promised us two years ago? In my opinion I think it is. If last night's game, and all of the playoffs for that matter, is any indication of how Lebron's game is improving then the rest of the world should step aside. Michael Jordan didn't win his first Championship until he was 28 and the now 27 year-old James has a platform to measure the rest of his career against. Congratulations to the Miami Heat for winning the NBA Championship and a special congratulations to Lebron James for not only proving the haters wrong, but proving that he is the best player in the world.
Super Mario and the Heat Are One Game Away
It wasn't Lebron James, it wasn't Dwayne Wade and it wasn't Chris Bosh, so who pushed the Miami Heat to a 104-98 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in game 4 of the NBA Finals? His name is Mario Chalmers and he was absolutely marvelous. When the Heat were down and needed a place to turn, Mario took a note out of Russel Westbrook's book and focused more on scoring rather than passing. Now that is not typically the mentality you want from your starting point guard but there are many times when it is effective. Chalmers scored 25 points which was only 1 point behind James for their team high. There were times late in the game where Chalmers looked as dominant as he once did when he played for the Kansas Jayhawks.
OKC came out to a blazing start and seemed to have complete control over the game. Unfortunately for the Thunder, they really only had one player show up and that was Russel Westbrook. Westbrook had a performance that I can only describe as one of the most impressive offensive outbursts I have ever seen in an NBA Finals game. Russel had a stat line of 43 points, including 17 in the fourth, and 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Westbrook's PIC (Partner in Crime), Kevin Durant, seemed a little flat during the game and although he finished with 28 points he never seemed to make the big shot that shifted momentum back into the Thunder's favor. Sixth man of the year, James Harden, was pathetic all game and if he doesn't turn it around then the Thunder have absolutely no chance to beat Miami Thursday.
Now I don't like making excuses, especially in the Finals, but something is getting out of hand. The refereeing in this series as well as every one of Lebron James' series, has been inconsistent and unfair. Westbrook had 43 points, he took 18 shots from within the painted area and seemed to get hacked nearly every time. He accumulated 3 foul shots. Lebron and Wade had 51 points combined, they took a total of 17 shots from within the painted area and got to the line 17 times. That stat seems a little off because there is no way the calls can be that lopsided. OKC went to the foul line the second most amount of times out of every team in the NBA during the regular season but only made it there 16 times in game 4. That is a fucking joke because the refs seem to cradle Lebron James' testicles in their hands as he hacks players without whistles on a regular basis. Even my PIC, NYBobby, called me during the game to say he noticed what I and the basketball world have been saying all year.
ESPN analyst Steven A. Smith has been criticizing the refereeing all playoffs long and said this morning that one of the reasons that Durant is getting the shit end of every call this series is because he is too skinny. That really pisses me off because with that logic I should be in the NBA because my fat ass would be getting every call in my favor. Now I will stop bitching about the refs and give some credit where credit is due. Lebron James is the best player in the world. He can dominate whenever he wants and in game 4 he even proved that he can score without being able to use his legs. Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game that James was cramping because he was dehydrated. Well Erik, maybe you should grab the man a cup of water once in a while because he is about to win you your first of many undeserved championships. The series seems to be slipping away from OKC and now Thursday's game will determine if these two teams are going to travel back to Oklahoma. If OKC can win Thursday then its anyone's series from there on.
The Fundamentals Are Not So Fun
Last night was the perfect description of what Pat Riley and the Heat organization envisioned when they put together their team of all-stars in 2010. Fluid ball movement and precision passing for easy baskets inside the paint is the only way Miami can succeed and they did it nearly flawlessly last night in their 91-85 victory. Led by 29 points and 14 rebounds from James, Miami found different ways to hurt the Thunder throughout game 3 of the NBA Finals last night. Wade, although he had a poor shooting performance, finished the game with 25 points and 7 boards and 7 assists, which was without question his best game of the Finals thus far. Chris Bosh also provided his second straight double-double since being reinserted into the starting lineup that seems to have the Thunder flustered.
So where did the Thunder go wrong last night? Durant finished with a respectable 25 points with over 50% shooting, while Russel Westbrook added a hard-fought 19 points. The key missing piece to the puzzle was James Harden. The sixth man of the year shot a pathetic 2-10 from the floor and finished with a dismal 9 points. The Thunder can not beat the Heat in Miami without the spark off the bench that has made them such a formidable team throughout the year.The loss might also be attributed to the fact that Shane Battier, Miami's former sixth man but now starter, is having one of the best 3-point shooting Finals of all time. Through the first three games of the series Battier has made at least four 3-pointers. No one in the NBA has done that in four straight finals games since Dennis "3D" Scott did it back in 1995 for Florida's other team, the Orlando Magic. It's amazing because Battier is coming off career lows for field goal percentage as well as 3-point percentage, but he has absolutely been Miami's x-factor this series. I'm sure NYBobby is thrilled with my shout out for Shane based solely on the fact that I am a UNC Tar Heels supporter, while he goes for their rivals the Duke Blue Devils, Battier's alma mater.
Maybe the reason that the Thunder lost isn't because Miami's "Big 3" got their shit together, or because James Harden was building a house with his bricks last night, or because Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra has a striking resemblance to a Tarsier Monkey from his native lands of the Philippines (I don't know why I feel the need to trash him, but I do). Maybe the reason the Thunder lost is based solely upon their lack of execution when it comes to basketball fundamentals. OKC shot an out-of-character 15-24 from the foul line and committed 6 fourth quarter turnovers. They also finished the game with a minuscule 11 assists on 33 field goals made. While the Thunder went most of the season lacking an assist man, they were also the best foul shooting team and they committed the second fewest turnovers, so these two stats are inexcusable. If OKC has any hope of making it out of Miami alive then they better get their act together. And maybe Scott Brooks shouldn't ever have his two best players, Westbrook and Durant, on the bench for the same time for 5 minutes like he did at the end of the third quarter where Miami made their comeback.
P.S. NBA referees please know that it is acceptable to call fouls on Lebron James!
