Monitoring your blood glucose is an important part of effective diabetes management. It is especially important for people who take insulin. Many people find that it is difficult to make blood glucose monitoring a routine part of their lives. So, if you are struggling with checking your blood glucose as recommended by your healthcare provider, you are not alone.
An American Diabetes Association survey found that "21 percent of adults with type 1 diabetes never checked their blood glucose. Of those with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, 47 percent never monitored, and among those with type 2 diabetes who were not using insulin, 76 percent never checked.''
William Polonsky, in his book "Diabetes Burnout," lists the top 10 reasons to hate checking your blood glucose. They are as follows:
What are your personal barriers? If you know what your personal barriers to checking your blood glucose regularly are, there are things that you can do to overcome them. Some general tips:
We look forward to hearing from you. Please share your experiences with glucose monitoring. Do you find it hard to make glucose monitoring a routine part of your life?

How do those of you who test up to 10x day afford it? I pay $40 for 50 test strips and that's with health insurance? That's $584/year just for the strips, not to mention the lancets, needles and the super expensive insulin itself.
I find it a very peaceful time. A time just for me.I sit in my recliner, put the foot rest up and play with all the gadgets. To me it is kinda fun. My cat sits on a table next to me.
Monitoring is the key in beating diabetes
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about an year back. My doctor did not start any medications immediately and advised me life style change. When I was diagnosed, my HbA1C was 8+. But with lifestyle change within 3 months I was below 6.
It is very important in this disease to monitor yourself. I used a web based software to log and monitor my parameters [www.friendofdiabetic.com]. The more you log your parameters, more it acts as a feedback to improve. I don't think I would have achieved A1C of 6 without monitoring what I was doing.
I am T1 and only recently began testing 3-7 times per day again. What makes it difficult is convenience. I am on the go with my work, my life etc. Sometimes, I just want to sit down and eat or I am meeting people and want to make the most of that meeting and don't want to take the time to test. It's laziness mixed with feeling its a hassle.
However, I decided, after seeing another T1 friend almost lose her eyesight, have to miss 8 weeks of work and undergo massive eye surgery that I still had a choice, I am not in those stages and I need to get it together. I just do it now and do not allow myself a choice. I still miss some readings, but before meals I check. It's helped me significantly since I know what is going on, I am encouraged to keep it in tighter control.
its amazing, ive been drniinkg the cinnamon and honey mixture like tea every morning for 4 months, now it could all be in my head but, my outlook and everything has increased greatly, my springtime allergies have ceased to exist, (i was a smoker of 2 years) a few weeks after drniinkg it it gave me the strong urge to stop smoking, and helped greatly during that 1-2 week period of weaning off the nicotine, it gives you a great amount of energy if taken with breakfast for the WHOLE day
i have been a type 2 diabetic for about 15 years reciently i had a heart attack now i have to find a way to enjoy the foods i like without being hungry all the time
I wish to add to the monitoring barirer list another one: L A Z I N E S S ! Which can be deadly. One of my friend who has multiple serious risk factors and I have known 25 years became extremely lazy. That is not masquerading as depression. A schizophrenic
but a somewhat milder degree of severity of the illness going back 30 years his initial medications to control the symptoms were highly unpleasant and suffered a lot, from the cyclical nature of the depot injection's effect that from injection zombied him a bit then the plateau phase as alive and happy and as the drug wore off bit restless and bit disturbed in the 3 weekly cycle. The new generation drugs like Zypprexa oral form he is taking liberated him from the alternating misery of mood and physically feeling unwell to a clearer thinking. But at some costs: he became diabetic as result of the drug's side effect and been liberated from responsibility too. He does not care much about health and refuse the important adjuvant psychotherapy so essential. If he did accept, his medication dose could be reduced with attendant less harm to organs. Could have been educated and given skills to tolerate some level of anxiety and with lifestyle changes plus allowing himself to be inspired by others so afflicted who did the above and decided to go back to work, study, some are psychiatrists in practice! He choose to combat me instead and enjoy a contented parasitic lifestyle on social benefits.-
I take insulin for 40 years. I hate testing- I read of a Canadian company testing a pad that goes under their common wrist watch that senses blood sugars; giving results as needed on the watch face.
The company was forced out of business a few years ago by pharmaceutical interests & the Canadian government. They were so close to bringing the device to market---too close to be unsettling to Big Pharma.
I am so very disgusted & I tried to raise awareness in my country but was ignored & shot down.
Any one know of any relation to diabetes and thyroid problems?
Blood glucose monitoring seems pointless as the only solution that will really make the difference is to lose the weight. Lose the weight and there will be no problems whatsoever, the diabetes goes away, the neuropathy goes away, the complications all go away. It seems providers are all about insulin. I am on pills and will stay on pills. Insulin only makes weight loss more impossible than it seems. I have improved my diet over the years and eliminated many foods that cause high sugars. I'm entering the menopause stage and have experienced vaginal infections that I though were uti's and urologist confirmed they are not uti's. So a new day is beginning to increase walking with the help of better shoes, eating healthy choice meals as they are 300-400 calories and the right portions, and monitoring blood sugar levels more frequently. At least every day is a new start and there's always the opportunity to do it.
I am Type2 Diabetic for the past 17 years. At present I check my BG level every morning first thing when I get6 up. I do not do it more often and have seen this gives me a reasonably good control and awareness. Even when when I am not good with my diet since it will show next morning usually I get back on track within one day.
Toni: Have you tried using alternative sites to test your blood sugar? You could also try finer lancets.
What are the daily nutritional values you should try to meet, e.g. carbs, sugars, fats, etc per/day or per meal?
Checking my glucose level is painful. I am developing a phobia about it. Do you have any suggestions for decreasing the pain.
Anita: Newer meters require much smaller samples. Here are a few tips:
1. Use the clear cap on lancing device
2. Besides the arms, you can use the fleshy part of the palm and base of thumb.
3. Rub the area selected with your hand for a few seconds.
4. The area to be lanced should be lower than your heart (gravity).
5. Press the lancing device against the skin with moderate pressure
6. Hold the lancing device down on the skin to force the blood out until you can see the amount of blood needed.
Remember that alternative glucose testing site results may differ from fingertip testing (which is the most accurate). Test from the fingertip when you note that glucose levels are changing rapidly (i.e. after exercise). Use fingertip blood glucose testing if you think your blood sugar is low or if you are not aware of symptoms when you become hypoglycemic, or if the alternative site results do not agree with the way you feel.
Sticking my finger 3 times a day for three months has got my fingers bruised and sore. Is there another way to test B.S.L. without drawing blood from my fingers? I have tried to poke my arms but blood will not readly come out in sufficient amount to activate the meter.
i never check my bloodsugar, im so ashamed of it. Ill have good intentions, then i just fall off the wagon again.
Many patients are so used to being blamed and criticized for their efforts at diabetes self-management, that they are reluctant to see their healthcare provider. Your thoughts on this subject?
Checking my blood glucose just gives my doctor another reason to express his "disappointment"
MB: We just want to reassure you. Diabetes is a progressive disease. You can do everything right and still eventually need to go on medication. Keep up the good work and learn all you can about diabetes at the education classes. Your feelings are normal but please discuss them with your healthcare provider.
I've recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My Dr. told me five years ago to diet and exercise, which I tried, but obviously failed at doing. I thought I was trying hard and feel like I've brought this disease on myself. I'm so depressed and cry so much that I don't think I have any tears left. Yet somehow my body produces more. I've been on metformin once a day for 5 days and have tested a lot but my numbers are high in the morning and low after dinner. Can I have after dinner snacks? I have to go to more diabetes education classes, but I need to know that I will soon know what I can and can't eat. I feel hungry all the time. I'm on information overload right now. Are my feelings normal. Thanks for any help you can give me.
About diabetes burnout, diabetes burnout is common amongst diabetic individuals because of the high maintenance involved with diabetes management. A good book on diabetes burnout is "Diabetes Burnout" by William Polansky. The author explains symptoms of burnout, why it happens and what you can do about it.
Readers, any advise for newbie? If you haven't already, I would recommend you see a certified diabetes educator (CDE) and dietitian. Diabetes is a balancing act and it is important to know what affects your blood glucose and how to balance it. I would endorse any books promoted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Mayo Clinic has a new book on diabetes, "Mayo Clinic The Essential Diabetes Book".
Suffering from major burn out and trying to break out of the rut I'm in. I've been T1D for 14y and I've progressively been checking BG less and less...I'm trying to figure out why I'm on this path, but more how do I get off!!!
Hello All
Monitoring can be tedious but it beats the alternative of not knowing what is happening so you can take action. I have been a diabetic for close to 40 years and was very glad when the monitors came out for personal use in the early 80's. No more guess work, urine tests or waiting for the Doctor's office to call with the results. I now have a 5 second meter that talks to my pump. Makes life much simpler and easier. All of you who are working at monitoring keep at it - you are the only one who can do it. Life is much better knowing and controlling than not.
I absolutely hate monitoring, and the reasons are very much the ones you cited: I don't like the constant reminder I have diabetes, it hurts, nothing ever seems to be done with the results except to allow my doctor to pass judgement on me based on the numbers, and it is depressing--I feel like crying every time I test, whether the results are "good" or "bad". It is a constant reminder I can no longer eat what I want, when I want, or as much as I want.
Having just been diagnosed with diabetes and faced with all the new tasks involved with managing your diabetes can seem overwhelming at first. As you become more familiar with the process, it will become more routine and less time consuming. Remember, it's an ongoing learning process and you are not expected to know it all initially.
I've been diagnosed about one month. My doctor wants me to keep a log that summarizes weight, cals, carbs, blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin taken and times. When I include the time spent planning meals (I carb count), it seems that my whole day is devoted to maintenance. I know that my doctor wants me to learn and recognize conditions and trends, but will this level of tracking always be necessary?
I have type 1 diabetis and without checking your BG I would not know how much insulin to give. Check blood on average 6 to 9 times a day and so used to it that it does not bother me a bit. Would be glad if I did not have to but there is no other way to take care of my diabetis. Ann
I "solved" one my challenges to glucose monitoring by putting glucose monitors in various parts of the house, so I never had an excuse of not having a monitor handy. One in my purse, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom. I also keep fast-acting insulin pens in these locations. It was such a simple change, but has had a major effect because now it is almost always "convenient" to test and dose.
Do you respond to email?

We could not find the specific ADA survey, but have read several studies that the 21% figure is about right. Some more recent studies indicate that self blood glucose monitoring adherence has improved in the past decade. In an article in the American Journal of Medicine, it states that "adherence with the recommended frequency of self-monitoring was more common among patients with type 1 diabetes (34%) or insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (54%) than among patients with oral agent only treated type 2 diabetics (20%)." This study found that more frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose improves glycemic control regardless of diabetes type or therapy.
Karter, A.J., Ackerson, L.M., Darbinian, J.A., et al, Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels and glycemic control: The northern California Kaiser Permanente Diabetes Registr, American Journal of Medicine, 2001, vol. 111:1-9.
does anyone know where I can find a report on this ADA survey?
I have had type 1 diabetes for 53 years, I keep my weight under good control, blood readings do very a lot I test 5 times a day, take short acting and long acting insulin, I've just learned to take care of myself, it's really not that bad, just hang on diabetics, life could be a lot worse.
I was overweight and depressed for years until I came across this amazing program called fit4lyfe.It completely changed my lifew hile maintaining who I was. It takes into consideration that a dieter and person who works out needs a life and has a life,maybe kidss too, and for me I hated working out. This program is a personalized one on one approach to successfully eating and working your way to losing weight and feeling great! check it out
Sorry, I forgot to put my name to my posting.
Tom, firstly worrying is going to be Detrimental to your glucose levels. I have type 1 diabetes 50 years. I do up to 10 tests per day. I think if your HbA1c is reasonable then you are doing well. I know my bgs tend to be like yours, up and down all day, but my doctor tells me as long as the HbAic is ok then not to worry about it. Even non diabetics have varying bg levels each day. Woohoo, I'm off to Italy for a cycling holiday in September.
Itest morning fasting, then before lunch, before dinner and 2 hr in evening...short-acting insulin before meals per sliding scale, Regular at bedtime. Most of the time blood sugar is well controlled, even though I don't follow a meal plan, other than ignore most white foods(except potatoes, my weakness). Blood sugar stays in good control on this plan and it's easy to follow. AlC is good on this plan, according to doctor. I also take cinnamon caps morning and evening and this seems to help a great deal. Anyone else tried this? Lois R.
I test my bg at least 7 times a day. Take insulin to cover my carbs and take a small amount of long lasting insulin. Testing is no problem. Wish I could afford to test more often. Would love to have a A1C lower than 6 all the time. Have been a Type 1 32 years.
sometimes my numbers vary a lot.i worry and get upset.i'm told not to worry and don't get upset.i have to ask-why take it at all ?i just don't understand.i try to take a positive attitude.i just don't care.i've learned not to believe anything about diabetes.
Great post! I love the top 10.

"The minute I saw these shoes online I was hooked and ordered them!! When the box arrived, I couldn't wait to open it. As soon as I tried them on, I knew I had made the right decision!! (Can't help the exclamation points, but these shoes are fabulous!). I love the use of color blocking and the way they are made. They are, by far, one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever bought. I have worn them all day long, and they do not make my feet hurt or make me want to take them off. I have even bought an extra outfit to wear them with."

Rick continued roping and competing throughout high school.
Rick graduated from Emery High in 1976. He won more than 30 first place belt buckles, not counting second and third place awards.
A few years ago, Rick and his dad started Castle Valley Rodeo Company, a family owned and operated business for approximately eight years. They liked helping many kids learn to enjoy the dream of rodeo life.
Rick enjoyed camping, fishing and especially hunting. He loved spending time with his family and friends.
Rick lived on the family farm with Michelle and his son, Josh. Rick enjoyed going to church at Desert Edge Christian Chapel in Huntington and spending time with his special friend, Pastor Carl Sitterud.

a blog was born
Once that part was done, I was faced with....a blank page.
Okay. Time to shine. That's why you're doing this, right? Because you like writing, like what you've read so far, and want to add you voice into the mix?
Boy, that page was blank. And big. And starkly white.
Where to begin? Tell your story, Jess. Start with -
-What the name of the blog means.
Okay. I can do that.
Thanks to all of you for being here the past three years.

May Your Days be Merry and Bright ....Posted Thursday, December 20, 2012, at 1:17 PM
As I write this the snow is piling up outside with the season's first winter storm. I can see it blowing across the fields and past the church; I can hear the wind whistling as it buffets the windows on the west side of the house.
That's the beautiful, heart-warming, "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" side of the beginning of winter.
On the other side, the morning news is reporting highways across the area are treacherous and the Missouri Department of Transportation is advising folks who have no pressing reason to get out in this mess to stay in until things calm down and roads get cleared; one of our major interstates has been closed in the northern part of the state. The storm hit the Kansas City metro area just in time for the morning rush hour, and several major accidents have been reported.
But that's what winter is all about. You love it or you hate it - or you tolerate it and make the best out of it that you can. If you hate winter, you hate it no matter what. If you don't mind it, you've learned to take the good with the bad. If you love it - you love it. Nuff said!
Some folks stay in the warmth of their homes and bake or read a good book or just stare out the window at the beauty that is a winter storm. Others get out in the fluff and cold and enjoy life at it's brisky best. Still others climb into their caves and don't come out until spring. I just hope everyone stays safe and warm.
It won't officially be winter until sometime this weekend, and by then it will be so close to Christmas that no one will mind the white stuff.
By the way - from my family and myself - Merry Christmas everybody!
"May your days be merry and bright ... And may all your Christmases be white."

PRICE-Our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Nolene "Tilley" Carlson, age 84, peacefully slipped away from the mortal bonds of this earthly life at her home in Price on Saturday, June 26.
The youngest of 11 children, Nolene was born on May 6, 1926 in Marshall, Ark. to James and Maybell Tilley. She married Paul Wesley Carlson in Price on Jan. 20, 1945.
We will miss most her sparkling blue eyes, her smile and her kindness and sweetness. She was an excellent cook and made sure no one ever left her home hungry. She knew how to work and worked for many years as a housekeeper for several families in Price. She loved the outdoors and was a great fisherwoman. She was gifted with a green thumb and her garden and roses were her pride and joy. She never had a bad day. She never complained. She always made the best of whatever came her way.
She leaves behind her children, Pauline (Billy) Crump, St. George, Utah, Glenda (Gene) Ciarus, Moab, Utah, Jerry (Patty) Carlson, Price, Utah, daughter-in-law, Jeanny Speirs, 10 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her husband Paul, her son Byron Speirs, her parents and 10 brothers and sisters.
The family wishes to express appreciation to Adriana Loaiza and her family who have shown great love and kindness towards her. She loved them as her own. We also wish to thank Rocky Mountain Hospice for their caring service.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 11 a.m. at Fausett Mortuary in Price (680 East 100 South). A viewing for family and friends will be held from 10-10:45 a.m. prior the services at the mortuary. Interment will be in the Cliffview Cemetery in Price. Friends and family may sign the guestbook and share memories of Nolene at www.fausettmortuary.com.

WASHINGTON – Afghanistan's air force now responds to medical evacuation requests on average within three hours, down from an average of three days last year, according to military statistics.
It is seen by U.S. officials as a key benchmark, coming as Afghan soldiers and police are taking significant casualties in their first fighting season leading the fight against Taliban.
"This year their survival rate is going up because they're able to respond quicker," U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach, the top coalition air officer in Afghanistan, said in a telephone interview.
It is not yet up to U.S. standards. The United States generally responds within an hour to medical evacuation requests, which is considered critical in improving survival rates for serious injuries.
Afghanistan's air force has conducted 133 air evacuation missions last month alone, a sharp increase from previous months. Last year, the U.S. military provided most of the air evacuations from the battlefield.
But coalition forces are racing to develop Afghanistan's military as the number of U.S. and coalition forces declines. There are about 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan now.
Afghanistan's military is far from self-sufficient and still relies on U.S. forces for some medevac and bombing missions.
Afghanistan's air capabilities are still small relative to the size of the country and the number of police and soldiers it must support.
The Afghan air force has only 28 Mi-17 helicopters, which are used for most evacuation missions. They will use turboprop planes and helicopters in an attack role.
Their police and armed forces number almost 350,000, many of whom are engaged in heavy fighting across a mountainous battlefield.
"They don't have a lot of capability thus far but they're working in the right direction," Wilsbach said.
Wilsbach said the Afghan military is also expanding plans for ground evacuation when aircraft cannot respond to a request for an evacuation.
To compensate for a lack of attack aircraft Afghan troops are being encouraged to use artillery and mortars if aircraft are not available.
The objective is to create an air force that is built to respond to the threats Afghanistan's military faces and not an organization built in the image of the U.S. military, Wilsbach said.
Washington and its European allies plan on leaving a residual force after 2014 that will be capable of providing some assistance to Afghanistan's military.
But the size of the force will probably not be sufficient to provide regular air support for bombing and medical evacuation for Afghan forces, leaving a potential gap in capabilities.
The ability to provide that type of support is considered critical as Afghanistan's military assumes a leading role in the fight against the Taliban.
Afghanistan military has had weeks where more than 100 of its soldiers were killed, according to Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top coalition commander in Afghanistan.
"They're taking a significant number of casualties this spring and this summer," Dunford said in a recent briefing with Pentagon reporters. "We are doing all we can to mitigate it."
Dunford said coalition and Afghan commanders are attempting to analyze the casualty rates and figure out ways to reduce them.
"Afghan casualties are among my top concerns," Dunford said.

Before. Everything was so much better Before. I wasn't haunted by nightmares, my place at school was secure and my face was flawless. Now, I'm a freak and everything has changed. The worst part is that I can't remember the night I was sentenced to the shadows. The memory has been stolen from me and I just can't shake the feeling that someone, something is out there -watching.
Just when I think I have my life handled, Sam, with his intimidating golden stare and shiver inducing voice, makes me realize that I don't know anything. He makes me see that my scars don't matter. That they never mattered. I can't help but fall for him, completely unknowing that he knows exactly how I got this way. Not knowing he was involved.
Heven has no idea how closely death stalks her. She has no idea what I have done to keep her alive. I fear the day she learns my secrets, finds out what I really am. But even then I cannot stop, I vow to make things right. Finally her hunter will be hunted, Heaven and Hell, faith and sin will battle, and we will be victorious. But first, Heven must learn to be what she never imagined. I know her strength is there – I feel it. If we are to overcome all odds, she must push past her flaws – her frailties – to become much more.
Hm…. I'm not sure I'm up for this.. specially if you say you didn't catch the romance. I'm a big romance fan! Although when I see how super excited so many blogger are I should not take it completely of my list1 Thanks Candace!
I get that teens have volatile emotions and fall in and out of love at the drop of a hat. But can't we call it lust instead of love? Or serious like? Because it's not love. Insta-love is an overplayed trope, IMO.
Like you, I don't generally read self-pubs because not many have physical copies I can share with my students. But this one sounds intriguing!
Gawd. I feel so bad for being a complete failure with the read-along. I had every intention of doing it, but time just slipped by. I think my main issue, was I just lost focus while reading the story. Some of the passages were too rhythmic for me it caused my interest to wan. But I will revisit it soon, I hope.
Well to be fair, this isn't self pubbed it is pubbed by a very small publishing house called Otherworld. I know insta love for us adults is hard to comprehend but as you reminded me awhile back Candace we fall in love super easily at sixteen and so I think as adults we are put off but it because we realize that insta love is rare, but tell that to a teenager, right? I loved all the big suprises in this book, like you said you can't even guess. I am looking forward to Charade. Thanks for all your help on the read along. Looking forward to the weekend and getting outside instead of spending it in bed like last weekend. Feeling like myself today! Yeah!
I did say self published and small press.
I also added a little bit saying how I know that those teenage feelings are incredibly intense and I remember even just seeing a person can spark that feeling. But just me, as an adult, I wasn't feeling it so much. It's not anything wrong with the book, it's just my personal taste as an adult. Now if I was a teenager I would probably feel different.
So glad you're feeling so much better!
Danny, remember that it was just how I felt, you may LOVE the romance! Actually knowing your taste I think you might like it more than I did!
Cnadace I agree wholeheartedly with your critique, I think as adults we don't feel the insta love anymore because we have become jaded.
Well you had me until you said the romance went too fast. I just can't deal with romance happening fast anymore it is a huge pet peeve at this point and not something I can easily look past at this point.
I'm glad this one did have some surprising moments and that you did like aspects of it though.
Thanks for the awesome review!
I know exactly what you mean, Canadace! Overall, I totally and completely adored this book but the romance was a little bit of an insta-love thing, so it took away from the story just a bit 🙂 But it was still a fun book to read, and I'm glad you enjoyed it despite a few issues! Sam really WAS the perfect boyfriend type, wasn't her? LOL! I adored him too! x)
Awesome honest review, Candace! <3 I love not knowing what was next too, and it's safe to say that this book was perfect for that! 🙂
Glad that you enjoyed overall even if romance didn't click. It always intrigues me to hear about unique story line.

New Power Lift For Kennewick Fire Department
The Kennewick Fire Department demonstrates a new piece of equipment this morning.
Known as the "Power Load System" this new equipment makes it easier for paramedics to get patients in and out of an ambulance.
The 27 thousand dollar system is not only safer for the patient, but its safer for the first responders.
Fire officials say numbers of work related injuries have gone up, and this new equipment will prevent common back and shoulder injuries.
"With the call volume that we have about 8 thousand calls a year we believe that repetitive motion of lifting and bending and some of the awkward positions we find ourselves in vehicles overturned-we believe this unit will significantly reduce those numbers, " says Vince Beasley.
The Kennewick Fire Department is the 1st in the state to get this new system, and will be getting another power load system by the end of the month.

Reviews for Apple Dumpling Bake
"Taste great easy and quick to make."
"My husband and I both loved these, they're light and fluffy with a nice sauce."
"I made this recipe for the first time today for our Thanksgiving dinner. I doubled the recipe and put it in a turkey roasting sized throw away rectangular pan...one of the huge ones and it held 24 and I added an extra 1/4 cup of Mt. Dew per recipe. We ate them warm without the ice cream and everyone went wild about them. This recipe is a definite keeper."

Everyone knows Ironman.
Chances are, not many people are familiar with this Ironman.
He isn't the Ironman, but he is Harrisburg's Ironman.
Uday Mehta, a former Harrisburg High School student and now doctor in Chicago, made a decision recently that he admits is one that has changed his life — for the better.
On January 1, Mehta made the commitment, one that he'll never regret on taking part in the Ironman Brasil race at Florianopolis in Brazil.
The Ironman race in Brazil's fall season has been attracting athletes from all over the world for over 15 years. The race features a 2.4-mile, mass-swim start located on El Divino Beach, where the two-loop swim is in waters of 70 degrees. That is followed by a mostly flat two-loop 112-mile bike course, that featured four major climbs and descents. The race concludes with a 26.2-mile run with a 13-mile loop with one hill and two 6.5-mile loops that are mostly flat.
Nothing about Mehta's race was flat. Aside from being joined by his wife, Arpita and his 10-year-old daughter, Serena; Metha's parents also made the trip as did his cousin's family from India, leaving Metha with a roller coaster of emotions as he tackled the course.
Mehta finished with a time of 12:24.43, under the 13 hour mark that he had set for himself. He joked, saying that "for your first one to say anything other than you just want to finish is humorous."
However, Mehta can reflect back now on multiple changes in his life and do so with confidence, not just for himself, but his Indian community as well.
"I think what comes with these is a sense of accomplishment," Mehta said. "Anytime you finish any of these (event) and as the distances get long and longer you gain confidence. For me, doing these races is not something you see a lot of in the Indian community. I've been able to pull five or six of my very close friends who are all Indian and are all athletes in their own right, it's a great feeling."
Also, having my daughter witness me finish the race was pretty cool. She was excited. My parents were able to see me finish the race, it was all very satisfying and very humbling."
Competing in the Ironman Brasil didn't come without some sacrifices — decisions that even Metha admits to being "selfish" ones.
"While it was my decision, it was truly a family event," Mehta said. "You have to have support of your family or you're not going to be able to do this. You need that understanding more than anything. I have a wife and a 10-year-old daughter, my wife is a physician as well, she works. She has her own responsibilities and an athlete and runner as well. But, the first decision after you decide this is what you're going to do, is to sit down with the family. They were phenomenal throughout this whole process.
Page 2 of 2 - "They were influential in helping me when I needed it and staying out of my way when I needed it."
As far as dealing with grueling conditions and achieving a lifelong achievement, Mehta isn't sure when — or even if — he will do another Ironman, but does know that the bond he shares with his family and friends his stronger than it has ever been.
"It takes an inordinate amount of time to train for one of these (races). But, we have never been to Brazil and I like to travel. I thought, here is this perfect opportunity to do the Ironman race and take a trip to Brazil. I love the aura of traveling for a race. I've traveled to San Francisco (escape from Alcatraz) and Vermont for the U.S. Nationals. I enjoy going to someplace new and competing against a whole new group of athletes."

The Jackall Boil Trigger 100 is a topwater popper and walking bait all in one. It has the cupped mouth of a popper combined with a hinged pencil bait style body that helps accentuate its erratic, walking motion on the surface. Offering a winning imitation of a dead or dying baitfish struggling on the surface, you can manipulate its action in a variety of ways. On the pause, it also sits tail down to make it harder for fish to miss the super sharp Owner stinger trebles. The rear treble also has a feathered tail for additional lifelike movement. Available in a range of awesome colors, the Jackall Boil Trigger 100 is tournament ready right out of the package.

Customer Reviews
Comments: bought this lure expecting it to walk the dog, but it doesn't. I gave up on it but my dad tied it on and just started making long slow strokes with it, and the lure pops and dives and has a swimming action under the surface and that produce some very good strikes
From: Kendal: GA 9/10/14
Comments: Pretty good bait. It walks well with minimal effort and can do everything from slight pops to depth charging chugs. It does sit slightly sideways in the water, kind of looks like a dying/injured baitfish to me, it is not a downside. it does run true when worked. My only issue is casting it. It goes a good distance, but it is very inaccurate. Due to the jointed design the tail can act like a rudder and cause it to veer off in one direction or another. Frustrating when fishing it around trees and laydowns. Also the rear feather treble is poorly tied. After about 4 dinks gnawing on the feathers my rear feathered treble is now just a standard treble. Good lure, but not $16 worth in my opinion.
From: Ryan: East Wenatchee, WA 7/22/14
Comments: To me these are junk they do not work like they should, they flop on there sides and really look funny in the water, Just me maybe but it was a waste ,no advantage over a normal popper. if it stayed up rite and swam like it should it be good. 2 outa 10 for me .
From: Kevin: Johnson, KY 7/2/14
Comments: Great Topwater lure! I have yet to use this lure for Bass, but I'm sure it is excellent. I've been using the "Ghost Minnow" color for inshore, saltwater fishing. I've caught numerous Trout (BIG and small), Bluefish, it drives huge Ladyfish crazy, I've even caught large (and apparently aggressive) Pinfish and Lizardfish. I've only thrown this lure on my last 2 trips (mostly in the morning) and it has been the only stand out. More robust hooks are required though, if you plan to use more than 15# test.
From: Lew: Deltona, FL 4/17/14
Comments: I have this lure in the bluegill color. I try to just make as much noise and bubbles as possible when working this lure. Much to my surprise most of the fish I have caught have been dinks. I did catch a three pounder, but he broke off two of the points off the back treble. Great lure, but needs better hooks.
From: Ethan: Charlottesville, VA
Comments: Worth the $! Day 1 within 30 mins. of use I catch a 4.11 lbs LMB on the Ghost Minnow. Pros, action, sound and "catchability". Cons, hooks are sharp, but break easily.
From: Remington: Quad Cities, IL
Comments: this bait does exactly what the name says... Trigger boils. The fish haven't gone airborne for the lure, you just work it then it disappears with a ripple. Overall, it is an amazing lure that catches lots of bass.
From: Hayden: Allentown Pa
Comments: One word would describe this bait, AMAZING. This lure pisses off those fish, they are forced to attack. Getting four more today.
From: Chris: CO

Skip to comments.NJ church to broadcast Islamic call to prayer Sunday
Posted on 05/22/2011 8:21:52 AM PDT by massmike
A great day to sleep late in Jersey, as long as youre not within earshot of St Johns in Montclair. via Interfaith Service at St. Johns Parish in Montclair | Baristanet.
This Sunday morning, May 22, at 10 a.m., the sounds of the adhan the Muslim call to prayer will ring out in St. Johns Episcopal Church Montclair.
While theres no minaret at the church, the words of Allahu akbar, (God is greater) will none-the-less invite both Christians and Muslims to worship side by side. During the interfaith service, verses from the Holy Quran will complement readings from the Holy Bible, including during Communion, embracing the traditions of both religions.
Reverend Andrew Butler, Rector of St. Johns parish since September 1, 2010, decided to have this service in order to demonstrate that both Islam and Christianity stem from Abrahamic roots, as well as to dispell negative stereotypes about the Muslim faith.
(Excerpt) Read more at creepingsharia.wordpress.com ...
no muslims will show because the infidels desecrate their presence and no real episcopalians should...
Montclair has been an anti-American cesspool ever since the Mroz monster and the Boyce boil moved in.
And this will be, of course, matched by a Christian prayer service in a local Mosque... (Crickets)
What part of Jesus saying;"No man comes to the Father except through me", does this reverend no get?
Reminds me of a Do Rickles routine. Towards the end of his set he would say to all the Arabs in the audience for being such great sports (he picked on them)Stand up They stood he said OPEN FIRE
Might as well worship the moon god, then-- can't hurt, right?
Not, not get?
I would expect this from the Episcopal Church an offshoot of the Church of England, which was founded for the sole reason that King Henry 8 wanted a divorce.
Note to Episcopalians: It ain't allah, krishna, buddha, gaia, or any other false god...ONLY CHRIST IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE SINNERS COMPLETELY.
They we are ready to have parishioners kneel before Zod as well until someone told them it was from a superman movie. What a freak show.
Does anybody have the vaguest idea what this bellowing really sounds like?
Imagine this FIVE TIMES A DAY in your neighborhood!!
The Muzzi-In-Chief recites the call to prayer in perfect Arabic:
I thought that when muzzies worship inside a church that it then becomes a mosque......forever.
Anyway, the Episcopalian church is nothing but last night's melted drink. Diluted, no taste, no character, and fit only to be poured down the drain.
I guess Andy has not read YHvH's Word shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
under the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
TRue but then they will a,lso see this as them bowing to Islam like the Qurran orders the world to do.
> demonstrate that both Islam and Christianity stem from Abrahamic roots
Just because the roots are strong does not prevent a branch from whithering.
And next week they'll be doing The Stations of The Cross at the local mosque, right?
They should definitely put in a request!
All this freedom here while overseas those BASTARDS are eradicating the Christian communities from muslim countries...UNFREAKIN unbelievable!! OUR STUPIDITY is what the evil puking from HELL vomit Koran folk are counting on the TAKE OVER this country too. AND THEY WILL TOO word of God says it so!! Christians will be killed for the sake of our faith in JESUS and love of Israel...convert to satan's religion of peace or be killed...read it!
BTW, you can do more to stop creeping sharia by posting entire articles. Light under a bushel and all that.
Islam does not spring from Abrahamic roots, period.
Yeah, right. Filthy Saracen bastards everyone of them.
They are toast.
Once Islamic services are done in their building, Muslims consider the land to belong to them forever to the point of violence if necessary to remove the land from infidel hands.
But, it is fitting for a church that prays to strange gods to be in the hands of true infidels.
Uh huh. What's next week? Calming the spin about how the Aztec's 'helping' enemies and worshipers alike to 'give their hearts to god' might have been a trifle misguided?
What silly twits !shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
Just wait until they have to explain their actions
to the creator of the universe.
Is the expression "bull dyke" conjoined or hyphenated?
2 Corinthians 6:14 (New International Version)
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
How did I know it was an Episcopal church before I clicked on the thread?
Toby Keith has a great song out with the title "If you don't know where you're going(You might end up somewhere else)" Seems like it fits and that "somewhere else" may not be to your liking. If you get my drift...
Invite them to church. Then tell them the truth. Ignore their lies.
the rev Butler needs to get back to the seminary and also learn about islam and islam's chronological order and geneology.
where is the intersection of isalm and Christianity ?
same for this allah.
The Names of God Almighty were revealed to the prophets and allah never was 1 of Them.
"as well as to dispell negative stereotypes about the Muslim faith."
and which stereotypes are those? The cutting off of heads if you don't agree that alah is great or the raping of young (often pre-teen) girls? Oh wait my mistake, I meant MARRYING of young (often pre-teen) girls.
Silly me. Slip of the keyboard, have to get that fixed I guess.
Martin Luther opened up quite the can of worms.
Yes, I lived with it for two years in Erdogan's Turkey. Ankara has a lot of 'wild dog packs', and they all chimed in at the first notes. Even better (and not well known) is what occurs during Ramadan. Two goobers walk down every street between 2 and 4 am with drums banging away to wake the people up for breakfast before sunrise. It's based on tradition before people actually had alarm clocks, but there's nothing quite like going back to the 9th century.
Certainly. From three mosques at the same time.
Several times a day.
Anybody with a modicum of knowledge about Islam knows that this has zero chance of success.

There are few things cuter than an old-fashioned charcoal grill. Since Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer (even if our temperatures are still in the 50s), we uncovered our little Weber and grilled up tofu with Brown Sugar Jalapeño Barbecue Sauce, corn on the cob, and potatoes. I'm working on a recipe for grilled potato salad, but the weather hasn't been cooperating this week. A hint: skewer and parboil your potatoes before tossing them on the fire to brown. This ensures they cook all the way through.
What are your favorite vegan foods for the grill?

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Cleveland Town council discussed their application for CDBG grants. They have decided to apply for funds for an EMT bag which can be kept at the fire station in Cleveland. This bag will enable the local EMTs to pick up the bag on their way to calls in Cleveland and Elmo. This will allow them to begin treatment immediately while the ambulance is in route from Huntington.
Madison Jensen from the Cleveland and Elmo youth city council reported on youth activities. She said they had put on the lamb fry during the fair and they had raised $9,000 for youth activities. The youth summit was held in September and was a success.
Mayor Jeff Horrocks said, "The youth did an awesome job with the lamb fry."
Jensen said, "We are now doing Christmas for a family."
Jamie Jensen, town clerk, said the youth council still has lamb left over and it is available for purchase.
Mayor Horrocks said Cleveland needs a planning commission and will go through the necessary steps to set one up. This commission will deal with planning and zoning issues. Five people are needed for this commission with one member being a council member appointed to the commission. Mayor Horrocks said someone from the Association of Governments will help with setting up the commission.
Cleveland will advertise for the positions and townspeople can apply at the city office located in the front of the fire station. The next city council meeting will be Dec. 14 and everyone can be in attendance except Chris Parkins who has a prior commitment.
Cleveland will be sponsoring an Angel Tree for the holiday season. Anyone wishing to add names to be placed on the tree may do so anonymously. The gifts are delivered on Christmas Eve. The tree will be set-up at the city office at the fire station.
The youth council will be involved in this and they will also fill the candy bags for the Christmas party for the town. The Christmas party will be held on Dec. 22 which is a Friday at 6 p.m. No party will be held on Christmas Eve which falls on a Sunday this year.
Cleveland will contact a lawyer in a matter where a citizen is out of compliance in their living arrangements. A letter was sent to the family and now further action will be handled through a lawyer.
In the council reports Parkins said he would get the information and prices for the items to go in the EMT bag. Councilmember Greg Oliver said that Cleveland and Elmo EMTs will benefit from having the life support equipment available to them instantly. The response time for Cleveland and Elmo residents will be reduced. The EMTs go immediately to a call, but the extra equipment doesn't arrive until the ambulance does, so the EMT bag will be a much needed item. Items will include an AED which is an automated defibrillator which will give more immediate help to heart attack victims. Each EMT has a small emergency bag they carry with them. The new bag will contain equipment not in their individual bags.
Mayor Horrocks said they have been contacted by a youth group from Salt Lake that wants to use the Cleveland park to camp during the pageant and fair. It was approved by the council to allow this use as it's a great way to promote the county and add tourism money to the area.
The group from Salt Lake will also do a service project while they are here.
Cleveland Town was allotted $2,500 from the recreation district this year and the money was spent on bases for the ball field, concrete, July 24th fireworks, park signs, fire pits and soccer goals.
The town received a letter from the Huntington-Cleveland Irrigation about the irrigation project. They said the project is proceeding nicely. The sidewalk project for Cleveland may not get done this year depending on the weather.
Oliver reported they had received $84,000 in a CDBG grant and that money has been used for equipment for the snuffer truck. Additional lighting, jacks and extraction equipment has been added. Cleveland fire department goes on calls to the county line north on SR-10 and as far as Dick Allen hill to the south and out as far as Cedar Mountain. It is a large coverage area and the additional equipment is needed to handle emergency situations. The grant money was also used for an additional fire hose. That way after a firehose has been used it can be cleaned and stretched out to dry and the extra hose can be rotated onto the truck.
Mayor Horrocks commented that Oliver has been doing a good job as fire chief. Oliver said when the new equipment arrives they will do a lot of training with the equipment to familiarize the firemen with it. Oliver said he appreciates the help from town clerk Jamie Jensen in helping with the grant. Verla Jensen the new council member asked for a list of duties from the council. Jamie Jensen, clerk will provide that list for Verla.
Cleveland Town will hold a contest for input on ideas to put on the sign at the new city office. They also want to design a new T-shirt for next summer's town celebration.
Mayor Horrocks explained a bill before the public service commission that if approved will take off the surcharge on natural gas in outlying areas such as Cleveland and others.
These communities have paid a higher charge to get the gas installed initially. Mayor Horrocks explained it would be a $10-$12 savings per month for residents.
"It would be good for the residents and also good for economic development," said Horrocks. Businesses look at gas and power costs when they consider relocation in a new area.

As the days of Warhammer: Age of Reckoning draw to a close, a terrific fan-created video takes a look back at the game, its lore and history. With nearly a half-hour of game footage, it's a fitting tribute for the game's final days.
Thanks to Warhammerbp for the tip.
Thanks for the nice video. It brought back memories of amazing time spent in Warhammer.
I had a long sub period for this game and i loved it, too bad the companies that came to manage it were a joke and never really implemented updates or did serious maintenances (bug fixes and needed tweaks). Such a shame this game had to fall because of company failures.
R.I.P. Warhammer and thanks for the fun
I had a lot of fun and excitement in this game!
Too bad they didn't have three factions. Too bad they had too many zones to fight in. Too bad they gave points and gear for taking empty keeps so that the armies avoided eachother instead.
But I had a lot of fun. A little sad to see it go even though I'm sure I wouldn't go back again anyway. I have tried. But to go back to a game without all your old friends and heroes and enemies always make me quit again.

Man i loved my goblin shaman in War. Really too bad it never really stuck for most people. the RvR was so fun, but i do agree that tier 3 and 4 pvp was just ridiculous with all the CC especially in the beginning (until they nerfed it, just too late). Still the classes actually had character and grit.
it just felt....small, and repetitive. the PvE was very boring. Oh well, we'll always have the memories...

A massive cold front is expected to move through the state Thursday bringing a chance for thunderstorms, reduced visibility and strong wind gusts, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain showers started in the early morning hours for parts of the Valley and cleared for a later part of the morning. Thunderstorms were expected to pick up Thursday afternoon.
No measurable amounts of rain fell in the Valley Thursday morning, according to the Flood Control District of Maricopa County. However, the weather service has received reports of quarter sized hail in the Lake Havasu area.
Forecasters predict the rain showers and thunderstorms could bring about a quarter to a half inch of rain.
Sustained winds could reach speeds of 30 mph, and gusts could top off at 50 mph, kicking up dust in desert regions in central and southern Arizona and reducing visibility, according to the weather service.
Earlier reports predicted the system could bring tornadoes to parts of the state, but by Thursday morning those chances had diminished.
The cold front should bring a cool down to the Valley. Temperatures were predicted to hover in the mid-80s Thursday before dipping to the mid-70s on Friday, according to the weather service.
Temperatures look to warm up once the system leaves the state. The Valley should have clear skies Saturday and Sunday with highs in the 80s.
Northern Arizona is expected to see thunderstorms and showers before the weekend, as well.
These storms could bring strong winds and produce hail larger than an inch in diameter, according to the weather service.
Some snowfall is predicted for Friday in elevations above 7,500 feet.

So comfy
"I am a lover of heels and fancy shoes, but being 5 months pregnant, I am trying to be wise and wear more practical shoes. Came across these shoes while browsing, and decided to try them. Having some reward money didn't hurt. I received them today on my way out the door, and promptly changed into them. The cushioning in the sole is bliss. The shoes are super cute with a sporty edge. I am in love. I will definitely be wearing these often, pregnant or not!"

Excavators are extremely good for heavy jobs involving digging or moving earth, rocks, sand, gravel and also rubble. Furthermore, these heavy-duty machines can be put to work in demolitions jobs by using a simple hydraulic hammer attachment. Use the excavator for varied jobs with the use of these other attachments: buckets of various sizes, grappler, hydraulic hammer and hydraulic thumb.
available dig depths
The Backfill blade allows the excavator to backfill trenches and grading at your jobsite. The compact size of the mini-excavators makes them well suited for close quartered working conditions.
available dig depths
Excavators used in mining operations can be up to five stories high. Minor landscape jobs can be worked using a rubber track mini-excavator that stands little more than seven-feet high. Deciding what size of excavator to rent for a job depends on two factors: how much material you need to move and how much reach you need with the boom and arm.
Rubber-track mini-excavators are available with buckets that are no larger than a 5-gallon bucket and a boom and arm with only ten-feet of reach. Larger excavators, those that are still small enough to be transported on a low-boy trailer, can have up to 30 feet of reach and hold almost a yard of material.
Excavators are used to dig trench, remove material, place material, and landscape on a large scale. Excavators are also extremely adept at demolition and there are a variety of rental implements that an operator can attach to the arm of a track hoe besides a bucket. Excavators are commonly used in tandem with dump trucks, end dumps and side dumps. Track hoes are practical rental machines for the following types of jobs:

Best Uses
Comments about Large Folding Telescopic Goal:
It was really great that this could be taken apart to put back in the box for storage. We used an intermediate size and the small net was too small and the big net was too big. The elastic needs to be tighter or be sure to have lots of extra velcro straps to keep the net in place.

Jane Bruce is an acclaimed glassblower who has concentrated her research and practice on the formal and expressive possibilities of the vessel, its form, function, decoration and history.
Despite her focus on the vessel tradition, Bruce's 'objects' serve no practical function. Rather, they are the basis for experiments with technique and form. Here, wheel cutting exposes the internal layers of contrasting colour and pattern.
