Q&A: What is the Best Diet for Heart Health and Weight Loss?
Confused about the best heart health and weight-loss diet? From the Dr. Dean Ornish low-fat diet to the Dr. Bill Davis low-carb/no-wheat I have tried them all.
Most recently, I posted two articles here at Alliance Health on the USDA Food Pyramid (http://www.heartconnect.com/news-articles/123...) and one on BMI and fat accumulation (http://www.heartconnect.com/news-articles/123...).
Even I admit to confusion from time to time and question who and what diet choices to trust. I thought I would start a discussion to share our community experience and to answer any questions based on what I have learned and experienced.
So, what have you been eating that may be "eating" you?

I have tried lots of diets too. The best for me is the South Beach diet. It helps me eat healthy fats and low carbs. A year ago I lost 20 lbs and have kept it off. My doctor wants me to lose 10 more pounds. This is very hard. I am having trouble getting it off. I eat lots of veggies, fish, chicken and occassionaly have organic beef. Rarely I eat fruit other than berries. I have stopped drinking caffeine because of the PVC in my heart. Greatly helped. I exercise 5 days a week walking and some weight lifting. Any suggestions?
Sounds like your diet and exercise program is similar to mine - even the decaf for PVCs. I would try the total eilimination of wheat!
Thanks. I will give it a try. :)
When I had my heart attack 7 years ago the drs. put me on a mediterranean diet, it allows you to eat a lot of fish, white meat and veggies and fruit in moderation. Like every diet you have to count your carb and sodium and eat low saturated fats. I still have some problems but it is fairly easy to stick to this diet because it allows you to eat such a variety.
best diet? it all points to whole natural plant based eating foundations —miicro-nutrient rich, high in complex carbohydrates and low in simple carbohydrates, lower levels of protein than most Americans think, but with much to think about in terms of good fat versus low fat in the context of risk factors and taste preferences. Note: not necessarily vegan, just that animal-based foods play a much smaller role.
Good analysis! Get the nutrients you need, lose the foods that provide blood sugar spikes, add the "good" fats back. Unfortunately, the whole agri-business model has been co-opted by the low-fat crowd so we are bombarded by refined carbs that instantly turn into sugars.
You got this right…but again, on the flip side, the low-carb movement that has moved some to high sat fat eating, often depleted of the micronutrients is no better. Anybody still askiing if they should be on a low-carb, low-fat or high protein diet is simply asking the wrong question. How about a vegetable bourguignon (perhaps with a small amount of beef for flavor and texture) or a whole grain paella?
Bingo! I am right with you on everything except for the whole grain thing. I would contend that any carb that is milled will increase its reactive surface area and become a high glycemic index food and that modern wheat and its associated proteins are particularly nasty. Perhaps ancient wheat such as einkorn is better than modern triticale variants which have triple thenumber of chromosomes (14 vs 42) due to genetic engineering. I am a definite "wheat-o-phobe," lol!
interesting proposition…what we strive for in the Kardea Kitchen is finding a better balance…not like the ballance our Mom's thought about —- the protein, the starch and the vegetables…but having enough of what is good to assure that the postmeal metabolism—- from the perspective of blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure and inflammation —- are burning in life-supporting control as opposed to a artery damaging wildfire. Translated —- if you are still loving pasta, try a pasta fagiole that contains 1/3 high fiber pasta, 1/3 vegetables, 1/3 beans. While there may be a somewhat higher glycemic ingredeint, the meal itself has a low glycemic load. Here is to taking a healthy — and delicious —- bite out of life!
Another good point! Glycemic Load is more important than glyceminc Index. Some people will eat a bushel of low GI food not realizing the huge portions they eat dumps an equally huge glycemic load on their bodies. Similarly, you can eat high GI foods as long as the portions are miniscule.
you are so right!
As my friends know, I was diagnosed in August 2010 w/ALL of my heart problems. I was placed on low sodium (1000-1500 mg daily) & low saturated fat "diet". I have been losing weight at a slow but consistant rate…about 1 # every 2-3 weeks. My Cardiologist is very happy with this as I am.
I use a guide online @ smartbalance.com & it has given me a lot of ideas to help curb sodium. I have also been trying/testing recipes (If anyone wants to try something I've devised, just let me know). While shopping, I try to choose the lowest % of fat when it comes to turkey & other meats…believe it or not, ground turkey can be high in fat if you're not careful.
I am now using Orrowheat "thin buns" instead of any other types of bread - watch the label.
My cholesterol levels & fluid retention levels are teriffic so I guess I'm doing something right!
I was on a 1600 calorie Diabetes diet, when I was hit with the warfarin for my AFib problem. Now it is very hard to get greens into your diet when you are limited by what you can eat.
Can you describe or point to a resource that describes your Diabetes diet. What were you encouraged and forbidden to eat? 1600 calories seems a bit low unless it is specifically designed to drop weight rapidly. What is yor BMI and activity/exercise level?
While I was hospitalized last year, The doctor had sent in a dietician/CDE to see me, she handed me a booklet with what diabetic foods I was alowed to eat.
That was great. Two months later when I had an appointment with my cardiologist, since I've had this AFib problem for about almost 5 years, he decided to take me off the baby aspirin I was on and put me on warfarin.
He gave me a little booklet on coumadin (warfarin), where it listed quite alot of foods that I was to limit or give up permently. I was told no, NEVER can I eat mangos, or cranberries. Limit the amount of greens I put into my diet. If I don't eat them normaly (like daily) to take them out of my diet as it will shake-up my blood numbers. I occasionally like to eat Broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc…
At first I was going every week to get blood drawn, this was for about 2 months, now I go monthly. But, I'm on quite alot of warfarin, 2 days a week I take 10 mg, and the remaining 5 days a week I take 7.5 mg.
My BMI is 40 (I'm morbid obese), and my activity level is quite limited as I have had a shattered femur (split from the hip bone to knee bone), I get around by cane. I have a glidder machine which takes weight off your feet to exercise, I do this about 20 minutes a day.
Great start! 20 minutes a day is pretty good given all your health issues. If you can get up to 30 minutes you will be doing fantastic! Everyone dealiing with heart disease needs to work on loweing their BMI so it looks liek they have you on the right track with diet and exercise.
You might ask your doc about Pradaxa instead of warfarin as it does not require the constant blood monitoring.
I started on the Mediterranean diet right after my heart attack - It's what the doctor recommended. A lot of fish, and chicken and turkey, a little pork now and then. Fresh fruits and veggies when they are available. It's what I'm still on today. Until you get use to it you have to watch portion size, it tell you how much to weigh and measure and as I said once you used to it, it comes fairly easy. I thought it was pretty boring at first, but once you get into it you can find all kinds of combinations. The dr. still asks about it from time to time.

Now may be an excellent time to make a real estate investment, particularly in Texas. We have seen strong rental value appreciation over the last three years in all five major Texas metros, but particularly in Austin and Houston, where over the last ten years we have seen a 60+% increase in rental rates. This is much stronger than value appreciation and wages over the same time period. Maybe the bigger question from investors, is "Will values hold?" Based on current demand and inventory in all metros, I say yes.
We buy property in hopes that our investment will generate some kind of return down the road. The chance of that occurring is very low if one does not hold the investment for at least five or more years. The reason is that transaction costs, repairs, monthly ownership costs higher than comparable rent, and ownership hassles dictate that it is better to invest your money elsewhere and stay as a renter if you are not sure you will own long term. Therefore, since you are going to be a long-term holder (the longer the better) you really should not be that concerned with short-term market price fluctuations. Even during the recession this was true, if you looked at real estate investment from a longer hold period, such as ten years plus.
Nationally we have seen a slowdown of the large investor funds, known to many as vultures because they swoop in and buy "distressed properties" — foreclosures and short sales – cheap. Other parts of the country experienced this, places like Las Vegas, Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Miami were popular because home prices there dropped as much as 70% at the bottom of the market.
We aren't seeing this kind of investment strategy in Texas. We never saw the run up of values like those other markets did. Therefore its difficult to profit on flipping/speculating on the housing market in Austin. Are we seeing the vulture groups? Again, not really. What we are seeing is true real estate investors who are looking long term. Once they analyzed their decisions based on home-price appreciation, which is very speculative. Now they consider potential rental profits, which are far more stable.
When planning a residential real estate investment, do not even factor in price appreciation for at least a year. After that, calculate only a 3% annual increase or less — a return that won't turn heads of investors who only want to buy low and sell high. Look for cash flow. Know that you will have to put 20% to 30% down on the investor loans. At today's low interest rates, they'll get a near 5% loan, 20% down. Figure another 10% of the price for property management (unless you like getting calls in the middle of the night to unstop toilets, etc.), 10% for maintenance, an 8% vacancy rate, plus taxes, insurance and other home ownership expenses.
Cash flow vs. appreciation
• Properties that appreciate quickly are generally in higher income areas (desirable) and generally don't cash flow immediately. But, you should look to increase rents to cover your mortgage payments within a minimum of 12 to 24 months.
• How do you rate good opportunities? I start with costs (rates, values, rents) that are low, with some upside. Historical trends and history as well as potential conservative appreciation.
• Raw land is not going to have cash flow. As we have stated before, there is a limited number of developable lots. There has been limited funding (bank loans, etc.) for development. If more product is not coming on the market to compete, rents will increase – less supply, therefore values increase.
Although conditions are very favorable, investors have to be adaptable because the market is evolving rapidly. It's the income from rentals that's paramount right now. The beauty of cash flow, of course, is that even if prices declined 10% or 20%, the investors should be able to live with that. Investing in rental properties is a long term investment strategy. You need to look at a minimum of five years to hold. As always, you need to visit with your CPA, financial consultant, mortgage professional, and real estate professional before you dive in.
What do I look for in real estate? I look for an investment almost like dating or getting married. You should be concerned about finding an investment that you "love"— one that fits all the right reasons. Once you invest, that investment will be part of your family and financial planning for a long time! If you are looking for a 'quick fling' in real estate, I would look at other investments. Real estate investment typically is a long term play.
What things should you look for?
• Location, location, location. First rule of real estate.
• School district and schools are paramount after that in all price points. The higher the demand for the schools in the area, the higher the rent and value.
• Jobs! Long-term strong employment is what you want in your metro. Without jobs, demand is less, and your rental property may go vacant.
• What type of investment are you comfortable with? Do you need cash flow immediately? Is leverage important? The answer is typically yes, but be careful, should the market shift negatively, you do not want to be overleveraged or 'underwater' on amount borrowed vs. value.
• For experienced investors, most expect less than 5% appreciation and look for positive cash flow from day one. With today's current values in Texas, most residential rentals are able to achieve positive cash flow.
• It is fairly priced relative to the recent comparable sales in the immediate area for similar properties? Look at values over the last 5 to 10 years in the area.
• Vacancy isn't too high in the area. This is very important whether an owner occupant or investor. Empty unstable neighborhoods or communities have a higher risk of vandalism and risk downward price spirals. A lot of times this is a byproduct of neighborhood schools.
• It is in decent shape and doesn't need much fixing-up. Skip the massive fixer uppers, the ones with foundation issues, or anything labeled as "needs a little TLC" in the listing, as that means it is a wreck. Leave the fixers for the contractors, they know what they are doing….. doing it yourself doesn't usually save you much money.
• If there are big vacant parcels question the use. A non-residential zoned parcel, empty or retail/industrial/etc. site where you are not 100 percent sure what is going to be built there could affect your values later on. Confirmation of use is the best insurance of protecting your investment. A new use of that land could impact your "quiet enjoyment" of your residential rental unit.
• You complete the proper due diligence steps to reduce your risk as much as possible. Mind your contract terms and contingencies, pencil out your deal, get a couple of bids on financing and dissect your GFE, review the HOA condition, review the property condition, make sure you have the right type and amount of property insurance in place, make sure you adequately review the title abstract and title policy and everything else you need to do to lower your risk.
• Affordability! Record low rates and stable values in most Texas metros compared to the rest of the nation makes this one of the best buying opportunities consumers have seen in years.
History is a great teacher, however the last seven years were an anomaly in real estate investment. If you bought at the bottom, good for you. Those type of discounted investments only come along once or twice in a lifetime. If you are going to buy, look to the above suggestions. Get with the professionals and listen. Find a mentor that has done this before. Find a house you love or rental property that makes sense, that you will own for a long time, is in decent shape, lock in long term financing, and sleep well.

Shoura Council members have called for an investigation into the reasons why 86,000 housemaids ran away from their employers in one year alone.
"This is a serious problem which has adverse effects to the local economy and security as well," the Shoura members said. Abdullah Al-Otaibi, vice president of the health committee, suggested the formation of a special committee to study the recruitment file and make recommendations to solve the problem.
Some claim that housemaids run away from their employers but a local community leader said that they escape because of non-payment of salaries, lack of food and maltreatment.
Based in Hail, this community leader has been involved in helping housemaids after they run away from their employers. The Shoura members slammed the Ministry of Labor for its performance, including the implementation of the employment strategy endorsed by the Cabinet six years ago.
Fadwa Abu Mureefah warned of malpractice in the recruitment file that goes against Saudi citizens. Mureefah also asked about the "delay in addressing the problem on recruitment and that why the Kingdom is still experiencing difficulties and obstacles on this issue."
"Are there problems in activating the agreements signed by the Ministry of Labor to expand the number of countries exporting labor?" she said. She also called for the generation of jobs with good salaries.
Mansour Al-Kredes called on the Labor Ministry to clarify its position on the matter and asked about the problems of unemployment.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

8 Reasons to Consider Online News Releases
8 Reasons to Consider Online News Releases
Of all the marketing tools out there, none has evolved so quickly and powerfully as the news release. At the turn of the millennium, a news release (or press release) was a specialist item; something a PR agency sent to a newspaper to suggest a story about a client. Fast forward eleven years: businesses of all sizes are using online news releases to connect directly with millions of potential customers searching the Web for local businesses, products, events or local stories.
You don't need to make dramatic headlines to write a release. No matter what your business does, you make news regularly. Whether you just opened your doors, hired a new employee, or announced a deal or promotion, you can turn that story into an online marketing asset packed with links and multimedia that attracts new customers, gets you more attention, and wins you more business.
Here are eight reasons why online news releases are good for business:
- Be more visible and reach new customers. Online releases get your story straight to the search engines that everyone uses to search for products or services. When people search for a local business in your field on Google, they'll find you there.
- Get your website found faster. The links to your website you include in your online news releases help your site to boost its search rankings. That means you move up the page on Google, get found before your competitors, and look more credible.
- Grab attention with multimedia. A picture is worth a thousand words—so what's a video that tells your story worth? Answer: a lot. Online news releases let you include multimedia like photos and videos that grab readers' attention, and encourage them to share and republish it.
- You don't need to be an expert. Even if you've never written a story or press release before, you can create one quickly and easily. All you need is a good story about your business. If you're nervous about writing, choose a service with professional editors who check your story before it goes live.
- Spread the word across Facebook and Twitter. Because it's easy to link to an online news release, readers can share your story across social networks like Facebook and Twitter with little effort. You might even go viral if people love your story.
- Get publicity in the news. Online releases can get your story onto major news sites like Google News and Yahoo News, connecting you with local readers and also journalists who search these sites for new stories to cover. A good service will also send your story directly to thousands of journalist and blogger subscribers.
- It's current—but it lasts forever. A good release service will host your release forever, meaning that it stays online making you visible forever—all in one, single purchase. Once your release is published, there are no additional fees to budget for.
- You get the feedback you need to grow. A good service will tell you how often your headline is viewed and your release is read, and even show you where your readers are. It shows you what works and helps you target your next one better, meaning that you can improve your effectiveness time after time.
As you can see, there is no shortage of advantages to sending out online press releases. All you need is a newsworthy story, such as a new product or service, a significant event, or an announcement that's unique to your business. Once your story is out there on the Web, just sit back and let the media and search engines help you generate exposure for your business. One big question still remains: "How much will it cost?" Try less than a year's subscription to your favorite newspaper. It's one of the least expensive, yet can be one of the most effective investments you can make for your business.

I know it's hard to believe- I'm leaving Facebook. The world is coming to an end!!! ;) Honestly I'm sort of surprised it's such a big deal to everyone, but that is a big part of why I'm ending it. First of all, while I feel the Facebook is an excellent tool in keeping in touch with friends and family, it has become far too overused in my personal life. It distracts me from homework, family, and the people that I am with in reality. If I'm bored, I always turn to Facebook rather than finding a productive use of my time. The other thing that drives me CRAZY is that I'm friends with so many people online, but in real life, we don't even say hi when we see each other. If I'm not really a friend with that person in reality, why should I humor them by giving them a higher friend tally? Basically it comes down to this: I spend WAY too much time online, and Facebook has gotten me into some pretty sticky situations in the past. This is more of a self-control move than anything else. This doesn't mean that I love anybody less, it certainly doesn't mean I want to lose contact with anyone, and it is not a personal attack on any of my Facebook friends. I simply want to reunite with reality. :) Now that I am leaving Facebook, I will do my best to update my blog more often, just in case anyone cares to know what's going on with my life. AND I still have an email address and a cell phone number! Just let me know if you don't have it. Basically, my point is that I'm not completely dropping off the face of the earth just because my Facebook account is. :) Love ya guys!

E3 2006 First Impressions: Gundam: Mobile Suit for PS3
Los Angeles (CA) - The media preview window early this morning let reporters from the gaming and technical fields see up close, first-hand, the state of games under development for Sony's PlayStation 3. Monday's press conference left many of these same reporters wondering how playable these games actually are, even though quite ironically, Sony gave the most transparent, hands-on demonstration of any of the Big Three.
Sony set up five rows of demonstration systems on the show floor, with each row featuring four systems on two sides, for a total of ten games. Every one of them was in playable condition, although none of them represented their completed state - a bug in the corner of EA's Madden NFL '07 clearly read "WIP : 30%." On the south side of Sony's PS3 display, catching reporters just as they streamed in the main gate of West Hall, was Bandai Namco's Gundam: Mobile Suit, which sources say may be renamed Mobile Ops: The One Year War. Set in what many call the "Gundam Universe" (whose other titles actually include a trivia quiz), Mobile Suit offers gamers an arena for low-cover guerilla combat in a scenario tailor-made for network gaming, although perhaps matches will last shorter than one year.
One of the first reporters on the scene to try out Bandai Namco's Gundam: Mobile Suit for the PlayStation 3.
The premise involves a battle between loosely-aligned mechanized warriors with super armored suits that include rocket jet-packs and built-in offensive weaponry. There's a more detailed explanation for that premise, but in practice, it boils down to this. While the right joystick manages mobility, the left joystick provides an independent camera view that peers down toward the player's "suit" from any angle. The shape buttons manage the armory and mechanized components.
What takes a little getting used to is the fact that "forward" from the perspective of the guy wearing your suit is always "up," even though your camera angle may be looking back. In a way, getting used to this "separation of powers" can be part of the fun. There isn't much one needs to learn to join in an arena of combat. The way things are set up here, there aren't many opportunities for you to "take cover," except perhaps behind a hill of significant size. You're a slow-moving target, except during those periods when you're flying and burning rocket fuel.
If a mechanized suit were truly designed for desert warfare in a rocky topology, perhaps item number one on its features list would have to be the ability to climb a hill. One of these Gundam suits (pardon my French) can climb a hill, all right, but your player's head has this annoying tendency to want to right itself, exactly the way that turrets don't when the tanks to which they're attached are climbing up hills. If I've got tank treads or suction feet that help me climb a hill, I expect to be pointed skyward as I'm ascending. This way, I'm not aiming my fifty-billion-dollar weapon directly at solid rock, while some fellow at the top of the hill is aiming down at me.
The guy in front of me is only 10 feet higher than I am. I should have a clear shot...instead, I'm in trouble. I'm looking sideways, and I'm not used to the fact that forward is still "up" instead of "right."
There isn't much by way of artificial intelligence at this point for the mechanized soldiers; they only shoot at you unless you shoot at them first, which isn't much like any threat to the whole of humankind that I've ever encountered. Still, this is a demo, whose high point is the way the terrain is mapped, the topology is presented, and the scene seems truly outdoors. For a bleak environment, it is a stunning one in high-definition, clearly attracting reporters and passers-by. If PS3 games can make bleak landscapes look this impressive, imagine what they might accomplish for sprawling urban areas.
At 60 frames per second in high-resolution, the relative sloth in which these characters move is very painfully pronounced. They're not blocky at all, the way they would have been on a 1980s model PC; instead, they're lumbering, like concrete koalas, thus far failing to resemble any guerilla warfare I've ever seen footage of. If the final game's premise and practice end up continuing to be this simple, it may require the help of the alcoholic beverage industry to aid gamers in mustering the will to continue. Today, more than one reporter we saw testing out Mobile Suit left it behind to move on, muttering it was obvious this is just a demo.

The PPS directory for the OM products contains files with nomenclature as described in Tables 5.2 and 5.3. As can be seen in those tables, the OM produces, among other things, sky images (*SIMAGE*.FTZ) and source lists (*SWSRLI*.FTZ). Further, there are low resolution sky images for each filter; they follow the nomenclature:
So for example, P0123700101OMX000RSIMAGV000.FTZ is the final low resolution sky image in the V filter. As with all images, it can be viewed in Hera with fv. To see what files have been summed to make the final image, search for the keyword XPROC0 in the FITS header. For our example image, this would be
XPROC0 = 'ommosaic imagesets=''product/P0123700101OMS004SIMAGE1000.FIT produc&' CONTINUE 't/P0123700101OMS415SIMAGE1000.FIT product/P0123700101OMS416SIMAGE10&' CONTINUE '00.FIT product/P0123700101OMS417SIMAGE1000.FIT product/P0123700101O&' CONTINUE 'MS418SIMAGE1000.FIT'' mosaicedset=product/P0123700101OMX000RSIMAGV0&' CONTINUE '00.FIT exposuremap=no exposure=1000 # (ommosaic-1.11.7) [xmmsas_200&' CONTINUE '61026_1802-6.6.0]'
The source list file (*SWSRLI*.FTZ) also contains useful information for the user; the column names are listed in Table 9.1.

It's true: We're pushing eco-friendly promotional products in a big way here at Promos Canada. Just recently we introduced the eco-message bag to help spread the word. This is a great item for any company that wants to showcase its environmental consciousness. The pro-environment messages on each bag become messages from your firm. Plus, it's a reusable item that's in increasingly high demand, especially now that supermarkets are starting to charge for plastic bags. We have other bags that also make great trade show giveaways or other promotional gift, such as our imprinted tote bag, the Recycled Tote.
The eco-message bag joins our special imprinted pens, biodegradable cups and other products from our environmentally friendly promotional products category. These items aren't the only eco friendly choice you can make, however. Some choices have a gentler environmental footprint than others, regardless of how they're labeled.
One example is imprinted glassware and mugs. These reusable promotional items can last a lifetime and they're typically made of environmentally friendly materials (glass is silicon; ceramics is essentially clay). With a promotional life measured in years and minimal harm when you do decide to throw one away, these traditional business promotional products are still great choices in an environmentally responsible age.
Imprinted apparel is also a great choice due to its extended lifespan. If you want to be especially considerate of the environment choose clothes made of natural material like cotton, which will eventually biodegrade and is easiest to convert into patches and rags toward the end of its useful life.
To make an eco-friendly choice, all you really have to do is pay attention to the classic "Three Rs" – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Go for products that meet these criteria and support it with branding and marketing, and your promotions will keep an environmentally conscious edge.

As chance would have it, these quilts were made by someone I know, Liegh Wells. I know her quite well as she and I used to be in the same quilt Guild and small group that used to go on retreats.
I'm glad I am able to credit her for her quilts.
Another place I've been is to this beach where my family used to have beach holidays when we were children. Some great times were had here collecting Pipis (a shellfish), getting bitten by crabs and having great times in the summers.
I will be returning to Australia on the 14th and will be hugging my fabric soon after!

Before writing some real business logic in a CFX tag we need to know the working and structure of CFX.
If we look into the java code of "HelloColdFusion.java" file present in "C:\ColdFusion9\cfx\java\distrib\examples" for ColdFusion developer installation in Windows machine then we will find the following text.
The first line of the code contains "import com.allaire.cfx.* ". This means we are using some features of one existing java package(com.allaire.cfx). The jar file for package is present in "cf_root/wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib" for server configuration and present in "cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/lib" for J2EE configuration.
In second line code it is just creating one public class called "HelloColdFusion", it will be the name of our class in CFX tag and this class imports/extends another java interface called "CustomTag" which is present in "com.allaire.cfx" package. We are extending/importing that interface to get the functionality of that interface in our defined class "HelloColdFusion".
In the next step we are creating one overloaded java method "processRequest". The interface "CustomTag" contains one method, processRequest, which is passed Request and Response objects that are then used to do the work of the tag.
So, for each custom tag we must write the method "processRequest" and which is the start point for CFX tag execution. When we will call the CFX tag we don't need to bother about the Request and Response Object from the ColdFusion side. This two Object holds information about what are the parameters passed to the custom tags and their properties and what are the response parameters passed back to ColdFusion and their properties.
I have listed the functions what we can access by the Request Object and their details. For more details click on the function.
Request Object:
|Checks whether the attribute was passed to this tag.
|Checks whether the tag contains the debug attribute.
|Retrieves the value of the passed attribute.
|Retrieves a list of all attributes passed to the tag.
|Retrieves the value of the passed attribute as an integer.
|Retrieves the query that was passed to this tag, if any.
|Retrieves the value of a global custom tag setting.
Response Object:
Followings are the response Object methods. For details about each method click on that method.
|Outputs text to the calling page.
|Sets a variable in the calling page.
|Adds a query to the calling page.
|Outputs text to the debug stream.
Back to our code "String strName = request.getAttribute( "NAME" ) " in this line we are just getting the value of the attribute "NAME" which we will pass during executing the CFX tag. Then, in the next line "response.write( "Hello, " + strName ) " we are just writing some text back to the client. It will be display in the browser if we will run the page which contains that CFX through browser.
We can also return some variable to the calling page by writing the following code:
response.setVariable("Status", "true");
Now, you can compile your ".java" file to get ".class" file what we require.
In the next post we will see how we can implement some real business logic here and how we can pass one query object to custom tags and how we can return some query/Struct/variable from the custom tags.

Community Benefits Campaigns combine policy analysis, research and organizing to ensure that economic development is inclusive of existing residents both creating extensive community input in shaping the project and producing specific measurable benefits to the residents impacted by the project. These campaigns can center on large-scale government sponsored economic development policies and projects or on smaller scale development projects taking place in a specific neighborhood or community. A win-win-win for the community, local government and the developer, Community Benefits promote inclusiveness and coalition building, while facilitating the project approval process and providing a method of accountability to the community at-large.
Georgia STAND-UP's Community Benefits Campaigns are a formal product of the STAND-UP Alliance. These campaigns can take many forms from creating accountable economic development policy and procedures at the local government level to the negotiation of a Community Benefits Agreement directly with a developer. A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is a legally enforceable contract signed by a community group and developer which outlines a range of community benefits the developer agrees to provide as part of a development project.

Obviously, keeping all of their artworks is not possible! So I gotta edit, choose and keep only the best.
What do I do?
1. Bring it altogether in one lot. It always helps me to see how many I actually have.
2. Time also helps. I kept everything my son (now 5) did as a two year old, and I look at some of them now and think...hmmm...some can be recylcled!
3. Give yourself a physical limit - e.g. One big box per child.
4. Give yourself a number - e.g. Keep 20 paintings per child per year. (Remember, if you do the maths, that is 15 yrs x 20 = 300, if you count kindergarten and two years of preschool). You now multiply that with the number of children in your family.
5. Put three or four that are similar together and choose only one out of the lot.
6. Of course, the obvious, take pictures of the artworks! Include the artist in the picture.
7. Use as wrapping paper.
8. Send some to Grandma. And some to Great-grandma.
9. Cut out some (if they will cooperate!) and use to make nice cards.
10. Buy a display folder and display the best. Ask your child to help you choose the ones to put in the display folder.
11. Once you have a collection of digital photos, make a photo book every 2 or 3 years. This will also make a great gift.
I like writing the name of the child on the back of the paper, plus the date. I've just started writing a sentence to go with the artwork as well.

text: MBA first choice when finishing hockey career 2015-09-09 After 16 years, Swedish national team hockey player Jonas Andersson decides to finish his professional career. He will now study an Executive MBA at the Stockholm School of Economics. The studies will be helpful to Jonas Andersson when developing a business he recently started with former professional tennis players Jonas Björkman and Henrik Söderberg, and Måns Zelmerlöw. Jonas Andersson is the first to study an Executive MBA at the Stockholm School of Economics after completing a MDA (Management Diploma for Athletes) - Cruyff Institute's tailored management training for elite athletes. Peter Forsberg, Therese Borssén, Per-Ulrik Johansson and Magdalena Forsberg, among other Swedish athletes, have also studied at Cruyffs Institute after finishing their careers. − It is very inspiring and fun to train athletes. They have the drive and ability to focus and serve as inspiration to other students. Jonas is one of the most ambitious students who has ever studied the MDA program and we wish him all the best as he continues his studies, says Anders Sewerin, founder of Cruyff Institute in Sweden. 34-year-old Jonas Andersson from Lidingö has played ice hockey at an elite level since 1999. He can look back at a career in KHL, NHL and Tre Kronor. − When I was admitted to the MBA studies at the Stockholm School of Economics, the decision to finish my hockey career was easy. The MDA training at the Cruyff Institute has been great, a fun introduction that made me even more motivated to continue my studies, says Jonas Andersson. Jonas Andersson has during the past nine years, alongside his professional career, started and managed the company Nordic Ice together with Henrik Söderberg. They have together with the former professional tennis player Jonas Björkman and the artist Måns Zelmerlöw also opened the first indoor center for padel in Stockholm, PDL Center in Frihamnen. Padel, which is a great sport mainly in South America and Spain, is now becoming more popular in the rest of Europe. − I want to take the experience I have from several years as a professional abroad and the qualities that made me come far in hockey, into entrepreneurship and my next career. Of course there are knowledge gaps to fill and I am therefore really looking forward to studying at the Stockholm School of Economics, says Jonas Andersson. − Ever since I first met Jonas, I was convinced he has the potential to become a successful businessman. I believe the combination of running his own company and acquiring theoretical perspectives from studying will take Jonas to the next level, says Martin Carlsson-Wall, Assistant Professor, Stockholm School of Economics. Jonas AnderssonJonas Andersson has represented two or more clubs in the NHL, KHL, SM-Liiga, AHL, SHL, and finished his career in Kloten Flyers in the Swiss top league. He came second in the list of top scorers in the 2010 World Cup when Sweden took the bronze medal. Jonas Andersson has scored most goals in a KHL match (4 goals) of all Swedish hockey players. Stockholm School of EconomicsThe Stockholm School of Economics, SSE, is one of Europe's leading business schools. We are internationally recognized and offer bachelor's-, master's and MBA degree programs, as well as graduate and executive education. SSE also conducts world leading research in fields such as Economics, Business Administration and Finance. PDL GroupIn the summer of 2015, the PDL Group started Stockholm's first indoor center for Padel. The center has five tracks and will be officially inaugurated on September 20. The company founders are Måns Zelmerlöw, Jonas Björkman, Henrik Söderberg and Jonas Andersson. Nordic IceNordic Ice sells and rents synthetic ice and has a facility, Nordic Ice Hockeycenter, at Bosön - Riksidrottsförbundets Utvecklingscentrum in Lidingö. The company also organises camps and individual training. Cruyff Institute SwedenCruyff Institute carries out tailored training programs for elite athletes in business management and leadership through the program MDA, Management Diploma for Athletes, preparing athletes for new careers.

Bedroom Updates
Wednesday, June 22, 2016
Our oldest son will live in a house rather than a dorm this fall which requires furniture. You know this makes me giddy because it's a great excuse to change things around our house. One of the things he will need is a bed which will come from his bedroom here at home. Our four post bed moved to his room which left us with a clean slate in the master bedroom. The four post bed was always on the large side for our small bedroom so an upholstered headboard seemed like the way to go to maximize space. During all this planning I was offered a gel foam bed in exchange for a review and could not resist the opportunity to try it out. I've been reading about mattresses shipped direct to your door and was curious about the quality.
Believe it or not, our mattress arrived in this box. This is sooo much easier than carrying an open, fully expanded mattress into the house! Once we opened the box and cut through the plastic wrap the mattress fully expanded before our eyes. The kid in me couldn't wait to jump on it!
Did I mention that we accidentally unpacked it in our dining room? R thought it was the dining room rug even though "mattress" was clearly printed on the box, haha. You should've seen the look on his face after he cut through the plastic and realized what he had done :).
We both prefer a firm mattress, but with enough give to be comfortable. We decided on the Miranda which "provides support for the spine as well as superior comfort". I could not agree with this more.
What I like most about the mattress other than comfort and front door delivery is that whenever either of us rolls over we don't disturb the other. I'm a light sleeper for the most part and this detail has allowed me to sleep more soundly.
All mattresses from Gel Foam Bed are made in the USA with non-toxic material - a huge concern for many of us. You can try a mattress for 100 nights and if not fully satisfied they will pick it up from your home. We love ours and have been sleeping on it almost a month now...so it's a keeper.
Gel Foam Bed is offering my readers $50 off any mattress by entering code cottageandvine at checkout.

Sharp practice by Education Otherwise
Readers will probably be aware that Education Otherwise was heavily involved in fighting the proposals in Wales for the registration and monitoring of home educated children. They circulated a document to every member of the Welsh Assembly Government. Here is the page from the Education Otherwise site which explains all this;
Note particularly the following;
Trustees are in the process of drafting an EO response to the proposals. In the meantime, a briefing paper is being printed and sent to all Assembly Members. Drafts of this have been circulated widely, but the final text is here (or see download link at foot of page). We hope that Welsh home educators will be able to make good use of this well-informed document, in considering their own responses to the consultation.
You will of course observe that this document is, 'well informed' and that Education Otherwise endorse it fully. When they express the wish that home educators , 'will be able to make good use of this', presumably it is hoped that these parents will quote from it and use the figures which it contains. Far from being well informed, it is a truly dreadful piece of work; riddled with errors, exaggerations, distortions, inaccuracies and falsehoods. Many of the figures it contains are false. I do not have the time or energy to go through this long paper point by point, but last October I drew attention to a couple of really bad examples; deliberate lies which had been inserted into the thing in order to mislead those who were unfamiliar with home education. Shena Deuchars, at one time Chair and currently a trustee of Education Otherwise, came on here and agreed with much of what I had said. You might have thought that having had these matters pointed out over a year ago, Education Otherwise would have either withdrawn or at the very least amended the briefing paper. They did not and still have not. This suggests to me that they are happy to spread falsehoods and phony statistics about home education if it will advance their own point of view.
What were the two points to which I drew attention over a year ago? Here is one of them. This is a quotation from the document which Education Otherwise are still touting on their website:
A 2002 study of 419 EHE families in the UK found:
'The results show that 64% of the home-educated Reception aged children scored over 75% on their PIPS Baseline Assessments as opposed to 5.1% of children nationally.
This is completely untrue. The PIPS were actually administered not to 419 families but to 35 children. What is the motive for increasing the number twelve-fold in this way? It is a deliberate and cynical attempt to make the research look a good deal more extensive than was in fact the case. It can hardly be a simple mistake, because of the way that it has been edited to leave out the actual number of children assessed using PIPS.
Here is the other instance which I gave;
A Wiltshire based home education support group has kept records of children in the group since 2002. They found that the 52 older children involved had achieved 199 formal qualifications in 50 subjects with 69% of those qualifications being GCSE or IGCSE, 13% were A levels and others in Tertiary or performance. 50% of those qualifications were taken under the age of 16 years. 33% of those students achieving performing arts qualifications were awarded distinctions and 96% of other grades were at A* -C. (N.Wilts).
This is even more awful! Far from these figures relating to one home education group, they are actually for the entire population of home educated children in the United Kingdom; perhaps 50,000 children. The reference to , ' the 52 older children involved', is intended to conceal this, by making it seem that we are talking about children involved with this one group. Again, this cannot be an innocent mistake, because the author has gone on to the site and copied the figures. As soon as the person writing this document went onto the site, it would be seen immediately that anybody in the world can upload anything they please to this site and make whatever claims that they wish. Nobody checks what is put there. Pretending that the results relate to records kept by a single group was designed to make them look like verified and typical outcomes for home educated children. There really can be no excuse at all for Education Otherwise not to know about this, because of course the site was set up by Shena Deuchars, formerly their Chair. Here is the site:
I do hope that the irony of this does not escape readers. In 2009, Education Otherwise are filled with righteous indignation at the idea of anybody using false and misleading figures during the course of a debate on home education. Three years later and they are caught playing exactly the same game themselves! Not only that, by encouraging home educators to, 'make good use of this well informed document', they are trying to make others spread misinformation.

Quite a lot as we know that old Webb daughter has been a card carrying member of the Labour party which wanted to bring in greater control over home education she also did some work for a labour M.P We also have no idea what Webb and his daughter said to crazy Badman when he met both of them.As far as we can tell it appears that his daughter fully supported crazy Badman report about interviewing a child on its own with out a parent present.
come on Webb tell us what you and your daughter said to Badman?

I do wish that those commenting who have the same name as me could use a pseudonym, calling themselves Wilfred or Abernethy, perhaps. This would avoid confusion! As far whether or not my twenty year-old daughter belongs to the same party now as she did when she was sixteen, I'm not sure why that would interest either Mr Williams of Alton or anybody else; nor what it would tell us about home education.Replies

It would tell us a great deal about your daughters views if she still a card carrying member of the labour party as its widely reported that Labour wish to bring control new laws over home education she must have a view on all of this as she was home educated by you and what did the both of you say to crazy old Badman when you meet him? why wont you tell us all are you now ashamed about what you both said to him?

[How To]: extend time for deleting temporary files in tmp directory on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
May 1, 2010 | How TOs, Shell CLI, Tips And Tricks | No Comments|
Temporary files located on /tmp directory will be deleted by default with every time you restart or shutdown from ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It becomes handy some times if you want to keep your tmp files for some applications already installed in your machine in case you want to use it later.
Open this your filesystem directory /etc/default/rcS Open this file
In line 10 you will find " TMPTIME=0 " by default the value is zero that value delete temporary files with every time you restart the machine.
If you want to keep your files for ever make the value " TMPTIME=0 " with negative number. " not recommended it will "
If you want to keep temporary file for two days, change the value to be " TMPTIME=2 "
so that's for now 🙂

Presently, I'm currently reading The Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax by Richard Sibbes.
As I go on read this book, the first thought that comes in my mind are people that I would recommend this book to. I have seen so many ministers in this short life of mine who are so stern and so angry that everything that does not pass as "reformed" or "orthodox" they consider from hell. I have also seen a pastor who, encountering material or teaching that is incompatible with John Macarthur's teachings, he rejects outright as heresy.
This book should be read by angry Christian men and women. It is a study on bruising. On how God gives it, and how Christ treats those who are bruised.
Some of the unforgettable excerpts that I can recall are the following
On Pastors who demand so many things from new believers:
Preachers need to take heed therefore how they deal with young believers. Let them be careful not to pitch matters too high, making things necessary evidences of grace which agree not to the experience of many a good Christian, and laying salvation and damnation upon things that are not fit to bear so great a weight. In this way men are needlessly cast down and may not soon be raised up again by themselves or others. The ambassadors of so gentle a Saviour should not be overbearing, setting up themselves in the hearts of people where Christ alone should sit as in his own temple.
On Moderation of the above:
And here likewise there needs a caveat. Mercy does not rob us of our right judgment, so as to take stinking fire brands for smoking flax.
On Pastors preaching:
Preachers should take heed likewise that they hide not their meaning in dark speeches, speaking in the clouds. Truth fears nothing so much as concealment, and desires nothing so much as clearly to be laid open to the view of all. When it is most unadorned, it is most lovely and powerful. Our blessed Saviour, as he took our nature upon him, so he took upon him our familiar manner of speech, which was part of his voluntary abasement. Paul was a profound man, yet he became as a nurse to the weaker sort (1 Thess. 2:7).

Wolverine Noir trade paperback - April
Soliciting now, on sale April 28th: The softcover collection of WOLVERINE NOIR by me and CP Smith. I don't know for sure, but I assume this will be in the smaller, digest-sized format used for X-MEN NOIR. It's a nice little package, but I recommend shelling out five bucks more for the premiere hardcover. It's available now, and beautiful.
CP's one of the most powerful artists I've ever worked with. We're currently talking about doing something else together soon...fingers crossed.

You can't avoid pain by fencing yourself from it.
Some times you need the help of others more than anything else
But you have to let them close enough to help......
People want to be needed, I found that out too
Once in a while you get shown the light
in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

First, I showed you What I Look Like at the End of the Day, and now it's time for me to show you what I look like in the middle of the day. What's going on this afternoon? The dishes need to be done, the kitchen needs to be cleaned, I have a roast in the slow cooker and cookies fresh out of the oven. It's gloriously messy, comforting and joyful all at the same time!
Running a home can be stressful and overwhelming, but enjoy the process (that is what being a daily connoisseur is all about!). It will not be pretty. You and your home will not look perfect, but you can take pleasure in the journey.
I'm listening to the Miss Mapp audio book to get ready for our book club. (I've read the novel and am now solidifying it by listening to it.)
Here is my chocolate chip cookie recipe. I keep the dough in the freezer and make it in small batches. I like to make 6 - 8 cookies at a time. This is perfect for when unexpected guests arrive.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Makes 24 cookies
1 C butter, softened
1 C white sugar
1 C packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsps vanilla extract
3 C all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsps hot water
1/2 tsp salt
2 C semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, and chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for about 10- 14 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
Delight in the pleasures of the afternoon, no matter how messy and work-laden they are. For more on the pleasures of the afternoon, check out my book, At Home With Madame Chic.
I hope you enjoy today's video!
I hope you'll join me for the Mapp & Lucia Book Club. We will be starting at the end of June. Write down your questions so I can answer them in my upcoming videos!

Comment of the Week
Alexandra tried out a vegan version of my Authentic Indian Chicken Curry. Here is her report:
Hi Jennifer,
Here is my after-cooking report. My family loved this dish! There was nothing left at the end of the meal. My teenage son ate two large servings. I'm so glad you're giving curry to your baby. He will have a sophisticated palate when he is older.
Like Julie, I used coconut cream in place of the yogurt. To cut down on the fat, I also sauteed the onions in veggie broth instead of oil. The veggies I used were zucchini and summer squash. We've only been vegan for a couple months; so we are still firming up our favorite recipes. This is definitely one of them.
For those who may feel intimidated by all the spices, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to use every single spice. I substituted powders for the pastes and skipped the garam masala since I didn't have it. The curry was still fantastic.
Thanks again,
Alexandra, I'm so happy your family loved the recipe and you were able to adapt it to your needs. Wonderful!
Today I would love to know... what do you have going on this afternoon? What are your pleasures of the afternoon? Let me know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog!
See you Thursday for a review of a new book discussing the history of makeup.

Is Diabetes Real?
Diabetes is nearly as old as humans themselves.
Observations were done, and documented concerning those who excreted "sweetness" in their urine.
I need diabetics, those who suffer from the effects, and complications associated with diabetes, those who prick their fingers for testing, those who have difficulty controlling rising blood glucose levels, and those who take insulin injections or medication(s) to control there blood glucose levels to respond to this question.
The answer that you give to this question is not for me, but rather for those who do not believe that diabetes is real, or that it does actually exist.
Someone told me that diabetes is new, fifteen years ago, there was no such thing, that it is "newly" created by doctors to make money.
That's easy for a "non-diabetic" to say, how about asking a "diabetic."
What do yo have to say, is diabetes real?
26 replies
oh its real I am one of them ppl that walks around here like I dont have it,I got use to peeing all the time use to being thristy drinking all the time so it was like i didnt have it… I am getting older and want to be here for my husband and two boys so for ppl who think its not real it is my mom was DKA twice it is really real
I hope to agree that diabetes is real; it's come close to killing me twice. When I was first diagnosed back in the 80's, I didn't pay much attention to it. I'd take my pills but not worry about a diet. I'd look at a goodie and say: "I'm not supposed to have that because I'm diabetic." Then eat it. When I checked my sugar, it was usually in the 300's or 400's. My doctor was all over my case about it, warning me about dire consequences but I wouldn't listen. Then. in 1994, I had a catastrophic stroke. I was paralyzed on the left side for a while. This cost me the job that also was responsible for my medical insurance. It also threw me into bankruptcy as I was certainly not financially ready to retire at the age of 43. Fortunately, I had the VA to pick up the slack on medical coverage because in 2004, my diabetes again reminded me of it's presence with a major heart attack. This time, I did die on the way to the hospital. Only heroic efforts by an excellent team of paramedics brought me back. The VA was forced to implant a pacemaker in my chest because my very real diabetes prevented a heart transplant. That pacemaker is the only thing keeping me alive today. And you can believe I pay very close attention to my diabetes. My blood sugar numbers are as important as my pulse and respiration. I've become a gourmet chef specializing in low-carb foods. Diabetes has affected my entire life, and not entirely in a bad way. Since losing my 'real' job, I've become a science-fiction novelist. I'm not getting rich but it's rewarding. And I come here a lot, hoping my example can help others.
Hi Mays & All!
umm, I am definitely on the diabetes is real side of things…but I have also watched it spread through my whole family in a strange way. Hasn't there also been a notable increase in the incidence of diabetes over the last twenty years? I have heard all kinds of reasons given for this increase, everything from it is all the fault of the -fill in the blank- (high fructose corn syrup, modern diet, etc) but nobody seems to know anything definitive.
Can one of the more knowledgeable folks out there tell me if this supposed increase is actually factual and what the general consensus is regarding what is supposedly behind it?
Thanks in advance. Blessings, LadyB
Is diabetes real? Yes it is real sometimes i wish it was not real. I have lost family members to this awful disease. Mostley because they do not control it. Both my grandmothers on both sides died early in life, also my one uncle also died early in his 5o's. So is diabetes real yes and yes and yes it destroy's lives and familys.
IT IS VERY REAL!! I have been a Type 2 Diabetic for 16 years. Within the last 4 years I have had my left leg amputated, surgery on both eyes and been in the hospital several times with various complications from the disease. I was put on insulin 16 years ago and was in denial for about 15 of those years. I am still trying to get it under control to this day. I have just healed from an abcess that I had on my inner thigh. So, yes, it is real!!!
God bless you this has touched me and made me even more determine to take care of myself thank you
Possibly one of the most devistating diseases around. I am angry when I run into people that think I am just making a fuss about nothing. If I tell you I am diabetic, or allergic to something I expect you to respect me enought not to serve me something that could kill me. Yet it happens all the time.
Guardian stone
Many people do not want to accept diabetes as real, or understand what diabetics experience on a daily basis.
I agree that people should be more respective of the rights of others to say no, when offered something, as a diabetic, you must stand and stay firm.
Oh how I wish it weren't real…my feet would hurt no more…I'd have energy that lasted long past 3 pm…my mother would suffer no more heart attacks…my sister would have no more vision problems…and I would be sitting here eating a BIG brownie smothered in vanilla ice cream & chocolate syrup…my fingers wouldn't be tender…no more pharmacy bills…I would lose my new best friend - my meter…oh someone please wake me so I can get off this crazy UNREAL ride of monitoring BGs, and avoiding carbs and sugars. No more lettuce!! No more whole grain ANYTHING! I want this nightmare OVER.
If only diabetes were unreal…
Happy day to all,
Yes diabeties is real I may not have but Michael does & I have seen for myself the effects that it has on a person mind body & spirit. My mother had it & I help take care of her before she made her appointment w/Jesus. This is not a joke (which no illness is). By the grace of God we all here understand that & know that we can maintain our being by being obedient to take care of ourselves. Praise God for His mercy that He is alking w/us all thru it all. This really disturbs me that someone would try & say that this is not for real. Be blessed & & know that you are all highly favored in the name of Jesus.
Working 4 Jesus, & Loving it.
Mama Dee
Yes it is very real. I have had diabetes for over thirty years and am not denying that it is difficult but I am managing just like everyone else with diabetes. It was not as common fifteen years ago as it is now but it was around so yes it has been around for some time.
It's not so much as people not believing that this disease is real, but rather they don't grasp the severity of this disease unless it has impacted their lives in some way, whether directly or indirectly.
The History of Diabetes
Where did diabetes originate?
Diabetes has been around since 1500 BC and is recorded in the early medical writings.
Aretaeus of Cappadocia, a Greek physician from the time of 200 A.D. initially called the disease diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, which also means to "flow," referring to the flow through the urine. The Latin word mellitus was then added to the name, meaning "honey", to imply the existence of sugar in the urine.
The sweet taste of urine was noticed by the Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians, Indians and Persians.
In the medieval time of Persia, in "The Canon of Medicine", it was written diabetes mellitus "describing the abnormal appetite and the collapse of sexual functions and documented the sweet taste of diabetic urine".
Indians use to test for diabetes to see whether or not the ants were attracted to the individual's urine.
In the late 1800's that German physician by the name of Paul Langerhans found the part in the pancreas that later was discovered to be the place where insulin is formed, collected and then released.
In 1921 researchers made advancement in diabetes research when they removed some of the fluid that came from the cells of the pancreas, that now we know as insulin. In 1923, Dr. Grant Banting was given the Nobel Prize for Medicine for the breakthrough.
In 1974, the National Diabetes Commission was created to evaluate the impact of diabetes.
Well, it's been mentioned since 1552BC and given a name since 250BC. Throughout history there have been many, many references to it and lots of things to back it up. The diagnosing criteria and treatment may have changed over time but overall disease is the same. I've never heard anyone say it's not real or it's been created in the last 15 years to make money though. Actually, in most countries diabetes doesn't help doctors make money at all.
My point exactly!
For someone to believe that diabetes was created by the governments of the world, or is the result of space aliens tickles, as well as frustrates me.
Diabetes is not a product of one's imagination, but to deny that it's real is a slap in the face to those who have diabetes, care for it, or research it.
As always, your input is greatly appreciated.
Diabetees is VERY real. It was diagnosed by Hippocrates by tasting the urine of his patients for a sweet taste and then he would know. The method of treating and managing diabetes has changed a great deal over the last 30 years. It used to be about portion control, exhcanges and the sugar you consumed as well as the sugar content of your urine, being measured by adding little tablets to a urine and water sample and gauging the sugar content by the color the solution would turn. Insulin was the only way to control it and was given daily or even up to 3 times a day by injection. Now it is all about carbohydrate counts and snacks and Type II that can often be controlled by diet alone or diet and an oral med. Yes, it has been around but what we do about it has changed a great deal.
if diabetes turns out not to be real then we've all been screwed over big time!!!

NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere late this month or early next month, almost six years after the end of a productive scientific life, the space agency reported. Although the spacecraft will break into pieces during re-entry, not all of it will burn up in the atmosphere, the agency warned.
However, in a statement NASA claimed the risk to public safety or property is "extremely small" and reiterated that safety is NASA's top priority. As of Friday morning, the orbit of UARS was 100 miles by 105 miles. Re-entry is expected late today or early Saturday, Sept. 24. The agency said solar activity is no longer the major factor in the satellite's rate of descent and the satellite's orientation or configuration apparently has changed, and that is now slowing its descent.
"There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent," NASA said in a statement posted on its Website. "It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 12 to 18 hours."
NASA's UARS satellite, launched in 1991 from the space shuttle Discovery, was the first multi-instrumented satellite to observe numerous chemical constituents of the atmosphere with a goal of better understanding atmospheric photochemistry and transport. The school bus-sized satellite, which is 35 feet long and 15 feet in diameter, weighs 13,000 pounds, and carries 10 instruments, also provided key data on the amount of light that comes from the sun at ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. UARS ceased its productive scientific life in 2005.
Further reading
In addition to numerous other scientific accomplishments, UARS data also marked the beginning of numerous long-term data records for many key chemical species in the atmosphere. This data is now being combined with more recent data sets (especially from NASA's Aura satellite) to better understand how the atmosphere reacts to the policies set down by the Montreal Protocol (an international treaty to protect the ozone layer by phasing out production of substances responsible for ozone depletion) as well as changes in climate drivers.
Since the beginning of the Space Age in the late-1950s, there have been no confirmed reports of an injury resulting from re-entering space objects, nor is there a record of significant property damage resulting from a satellite re-entry, according to NASA. That didn't stop late-night TV comedian Stephen Colbert, host of the satirical news program "The Colbert Report," from poking fun at NASA's advisory. "Let's just pray it lands somewhere where it can't do any damage-like Detroit," he quipped.

Lucky Gi was founded by Scotty Nelson who also brought us On The Mat (OTM) way back in the Stone Age of BJJ. Scotty's obsession with gis began in the 90's while training in Brazil and has been growing ever since. After years of traveling, training and researching he decided to make his own gis and to break with tradition by using factories in China, instead of Pakistan, and to experiment with other fabrics, notably bamboo.
Lucky's gis have included the bamboo Fleur-De-Lis and signature fighter gis such as the Raphael Lovato Jr, Jeff Glover and currently the Diaz Brothers gi (also in black). For this review we'll be looking at the Diaz Bros gi. The gi has a 550gm pearl weave top, 12oz bull denim pants, sizing options for everyone (tall & husky sizes are available and you can mix & match the jacket to pants) and comes with a travel bag.
The Jiu-Jitsu Expo and 2012 Spring Open took Long Beach, California on May 10th. Called the "World" Jiu-Jitsu Expo as it's premeire on the scene the Gracie clan pulled out all the stops. It was a who's who of the brazilian jiu-jitsu community. Who was on site, just about everyone you would, should or could know.
Renzo Gracie, Carlos Gracie Jr, Fabio Santos, Jacare, Conpedro, Braulio Estima, Kayron Gracie, Kyra Gracie, Kron Gracie, Jeff Glover, Alvaro Romano, Mike Fowler, Chris Haueter, Caio Terra, Mendes Brothers, Andres Galvao, Werdum ... Laranja.... and many more...

'The Michael J. Fox Show' Trailer – What's the Song?
The upcoming NBC series 'The Michael J. Fox Show' centers around Mike Henry's (Michael J. Fox) battle with Parkinson's disease, as the illness forces him to leave his beloved career as a news anchor. Paired with the trailer for the brand-new show is 'Float On' by Washington-based indie-rockers Modest Mouse.
The tune appears on their album 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News,' which was released back in 2004 via Epic, and it achieved widespread success, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. In 2009, it was named the 39th greatest song of the 2000s by Rolling Stone.
In a 2004 interview with the A.V. Club, Modest Mouse's lead vocalist Isaac Brock shed some light on the inspiration behind the hit song. "It was a completely conscious thing," he said. "I was just kind of fed up with how bad s--- had been going, and how dark everything was, with bad news coming from everywhere."
In addition to appearing in the television promo (watch below), 'Float On' has been featured in such video games as 'Rock Band 2' and 'Guitar Hero World Tour,' and cover versions have surfaced in 'John Tucker Must Die' and 'The O.C.'

beautiful day in the neighborhood
well, let me start by saying that it was an absolutely gorgeous day today. i've been wanting to hit those red garage doors at black mesa junction for some time now and today was the day.
but, i digress. i want to share a story. about a month or so ago i got an email from a woman saying she'd been reading my blog for a couple months or so. she told me how she showed the wheat paste images on the blog to her husband who asked whose work this is. she responded with something to the effect "...oh, some guy named chip thomas," to which he said "wait, there was a chip thomas at the alternative quaker junior high school he attended in the early 70s." when the woman wrote to me she asked if i'm the chip thomas who attended the alternative quaker junior high school in north carolina known as the arthur morgan school. i told her i am.
she said she discovered the blog because she'd seen the wheat pasted images driving across the rez between durango and sedona where her mom lives. so yeah, who pulled up today as i was pasting and asked if i'm chip thomas?
yes, it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and it was a blast meeting you and your daughter cheryl!
