One week down, three to go at the 2010 Budget Session in Cheyenne. State lawmakers had last week to introduce their bills, and were limited to five per legislator, bringing the total introduced to about 145.
Representative Rosie Berger of Big Horn, who co-chairs the Joint Appropriations Committee, says that this week the bills will switch chambers, and the majority are being worked in Committee. Of the 2010 Budget, she tells us.
Some of the hot bills this session include the ban on texting while driving, which Berger says has gotten more traction this year than ever before. And while for most people it's a common sense issue, Berger says.
And Berger wishes to clarify her vote on House Bill 28 on Firearms Freedom.
Berger encourages residents to send e-mails and keep abreast of the daily workings of the Wyoming legislators by visiting their website legisweb.state.wy.us
HB95 passed committee, HB28
HB95 passed committee, HB28 was tabled so now we have just one bill. I hope to see Representative Berger keeping her word to supporting one bill and getting behind HB95 now. Myself, family, and friends will be watching, and holding the republican party at large responsible for getting this passed. Remember elections are this fall.
I didn't care for the part
I didn't care for the part of the interview where she talked about banning texting while driving because we might lose highway funds, that's a poor excuse for passing even more needless laws. It's about time we start standing up to Washington. I wonder, if offered money by Washington, what other kind of laws she would favor?
As far as HB95, it will probably pass without her vote, but I hope someone will run for her place in the Wyoming House, we deserve better than cop out's and excuses.
These are called "funded
These are called "funded mandates" that the national government sets to create a national standard. The same as the drinking age being set as 21 for recieving highway funds. Although I agree that it has gotten a little out of hand, banning texting while driving isn't to high of a price to pay for some highway money.
Let the funding go,
Let the funding go, Interstate highways benefit mostly interstate cargo shipping.. Wyoming needs to be building up a better secondary intrAstate network anyway. A secondary intrAstate network should be funded by county money, and would not be subject to being turned in to a toll road that will be turned over to a private management entity. If that were put in place the Federal government could not strong arm states on these matters. Fact is, had they done this 30 years ago when the feds played this card the state would have a lot more power then it does now.
No, it's not the best fight
No, it's not the best fight to pick. It's a fight that should have been fought years ago on an issue like the 21 drinking age, no child left behind, the 55 speed limit.....Any number of places that the federal government has intruded into the business of the states. As far as the money let the federal government keep it, and we can make I80 a toll road.
Politics as usual for Berger rather than listen to Wy Citizens
So Berger basically has said she was following Jackson Rep. Gingery's lead to support the first one Miller's HB 28 rather than Representative Jaggi's bill HB95 the second one, because we didn't need more than one bill... what she fails to mention is which bill is "stronger" and which bill the people favor more, which obviously it has been a resounding HB95 is better favored by the public, as well as gun manufacturer Freedom Arms endorsing HB95, but rather than serving her constituents she followed the lead of another "politician" aka Gingery because he is the head of the Judiciary Committee...

Island Nights on Rarotonga
A very special highlight and 'must do' of your stay on Rarotonga will be to experience an Island night blending together a traditional Cook Island feast with traditional Cook Island dancing.
The feast, known as the umakai involves baking food in an umu (underground oven), a deep pit filling with red hot stones. Chicken, pork, fish, vegetables are placed in the umu, covered with banana leaves and earth and left to steam to keep in all the natural juices of the food (kai).
After eating the feast, guests will be entertained by a dance group – dancing, singing and drumming of traditional Cook Island song and dance.
Highland Paradise Sunset Cultural Show and Feast
Wednesday and Friday Nights – highly recommended
Join your Vaka (coach) at approximately 5.15pm where your host aboard will set the scene and help select a Rangatira (chief) for the night , to participate in matters of protocol and the challenge on arrival at the centre. Arriving at Highland Paradise, you will view the lifting of the "Tapu" (a sacred ceremony) from the marae (sacred land) on which the centre stands , before enjoying a complimentary sunset cocktail and the spectacular views of the ocean and valleys below.
Then enjoy the umakai feast which has been prepared for you using succulent local meats, seafood and local vegetables before sitting back to relax and enjoy the vibrancy and energy of the authentic Highland Paradise Show which includes spectacular dancers, singers and drummers , all of whom will enthral and excite. At the conclusion of the show, there are ample opportunities for photos with the dancers before being returned to the comfort of your private Rarotonga villa.

Zannchi Korean Restaurant coming to the former Yummi Crawfish space
1529 Wisconsin Ave, NW
I was wondering what was going on at the former Yummi Crawfish (puro cafe) before that – found lots of info from their design team:
"Once in a while we hear of a project that touches close to home and one of our latest clients, Zannchi is just that. A team of two young, inspired, Georgetown MBA students reached out to us to help bring their dreams into reality. What they have created is a fresh, new concept Korean restaurant that will be sure to grab the attention of any food fan in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Having family from Korea we were able to draw from family experience and trips abroad to create a amazing dining experience that will compliment the amazing food that will be served. Its been a pleasure working with their team and we cannot wait for the grand opening in a few short weeks. You can find their restaurant right in the heart of Georgetown on Wisconsin Avenue. The expected opening date is the second week of February so be sure to stop by and check out what big dreams and amazing execution can create. We have a few surprises in terms of the design and you will want to keep posted to see the big finished reveal. Lee Design and Interiors proudly serving DC, Virginia, Maryland and abroad for over 30 years!"

吳文華 (創辦人、主編)
2018年5月13 日
Mother's Day has arrived.
It was exactly a year ago when we officially launched we60com. The past year has been amazing for the editorial team. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our readers who have given us tremendous support by writing and translating articles for us, providing coaching for our disabled colleagues, sending us their treasured photo albums for us to pick our Photo of the Day, sharing with us their poems, recipes, quotes … and most important of all, helping us forward our messages to their friends.
We have built up a remarkable readership during the past 12 months – reaching a total of 133,000 by end of April. Just imagine that we started off with just myself, single-handedly, sending out our we60.com link to my long-time friends on my WhatsApp directory (hardly over a hundred) on the first day of launch and every Sunday thereafter. In January this year, we widened our circulation through Facebook. We have now recorded a total click rate of over 320,000, with over 400 new readers visiting us each day. This was all achieved through this hundred friends on my phone list and together we worked miracles.
The popularity of we60.com is largely due to the comprehensive information we provide to assist those of our generation to look after our ageing parents and ourselves. Our Sunday messages also receive very enthusiastic responses as they always bring joy and renewed energy. We have also been invited to participate in community events, talks, elderly services, and we have also become a member of quite a number of new associations and consortiums relating to active ageing.
In the year ahead, we shall produce in-house video clips – on exercises, cooking and daily care for the elderly. We also intend to consolidate a list of online services to facilitate application for licenses, visas, services, etc. so that we also stay at the top of a Smart Life.
It is important that we stay healthy and happy. As we are expected to live beyond 100, we should be able to open new chapters even after reaching 60 and design an ideal way of life for ourselves for the decades to come.

... continued from the previous page.
3. Colorization and Exposure are the most important considerations in matching donor to host successfully.
Make a selection of the floating 'head' on its own layer by command/clicking on its layer icon. (cntrl/click) Once selected, (Note the selection is active by the "racing ants" around the cut-out!)
Choose Menu : Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels. (This may be different, depending on your software and version.) We use an adjustment layer for non-destructive adjustments until they're perfect.
Since the selection was active, note in your Layers Palette the new Levels adjustment layer is all black with white only where the head is. This is a Layer Mask.
Since your image may be different, I won't dictate exact settings. However, since this is a very high contrast image with few middle tones, we want to limit both the high and low ends of the image -- accomplished by moving the left and right sliders toward the center.
Control the mid-tones with the middle slider, and at this point your eye is the most important tool to use. Adjust those sliders until you are close to the host image tonal values. We will do more adjustments later. Once sized into position, we'll need to eliminate some of those middle tones in the final adjustments to match the original.
4. Precision Crop: Now is a good time to tighten and perfect our crop of the subject. I intentionally left it large to this point just for this purpose. It's easier to cut him out large than small.
Return to the Lasso tool and carefully eliminate all the image area surrounding the head. Take your time.
5. Settle into Position Once the final cut-out is complete, you can now scale it to correct size, and settle it into position over Jack's head. Notice that I made a "backup" of the head on its own layer ... just in case I screw up this step. (Duplicate the Layer, or drag the "New Face" layer down onto the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette. A copy is created.)
Grab one of the corner selection handles, hold the SHIFT KEY (to constrain the proportions of the image) and carefully, slowly drag toward the center with the selection tool. Keep a careful eye on the size. You can 'Undo' (cmd/z, ctrl/z) if you want to try again. Use the chin and eyes as alignment guides, once they match you are close.
SIDEBAR: Many, many times, I'll reduce the opacity of the image I'm scaling (Using the Opacity slider on the Layers Palette) and place it directly over the host image while scaling. Overlapping the images during scaling gives a very clear, visual indication of their size relationship. In this case it wasn't necessary, but you should try it for future projects.
6. Readjusting Tonal Balance With the image now scaled in position, it's easy to adjust tonal balance to match surroundings.
Choose: Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Levels and drag those sliders in a bit more. (Again, your scenario may be different -- use your eye to make appropriate adjustments. Don't worry, you can come back again and again to readjust until it's perfect.)
Choose: Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast and bring on the contrast. In the original host image note all the blacks are just about the same black, and the whites are all pure white with very little high or low middle tones. This slider helps match that.
Blurring Until now I haven't mentioned blurring. In order to look natural in its new environment, the new face needs to be blurred slightly. You can plainly see that I did not do it. The amount of "realism" you wish to retain in the new addition is up to you. Now is the time to blur while the selection is still active. Use Filter > Blur > Blur, and that should be enough. If it's too much, then Undo.
7. Final Cut & Crop: Now is the time to fine-tune your cut-out cropping and attitude adjustments. IN the above step we clearly see that the subject's neck covers much of Jack's tux shirt and bowtie. We also see the mistakes we made in the cropping of our subject's hair. In the original, the blacks flow into other blacks and we see very few "hair" outlines. Fix that, and mortise our subject directly into Jack's shirt.
(Above) Turn off layer visibility of layers above Jack's photo, so you can see it. (Click the 'eye' icon) Now, use the Lasso tool to make a precision selection of his collar, tie, shirt and portion of his shoulders.
TURN ON the layer with the new face, (Click the 'eye' icon) and while the selection is still active, click on the new face's layer to make it the active layer and DELETE. This removes the unwanted parts that were covering Jack's tux.
Now take your Lasso and get rid of the white fringe around the top of his head so his hair blends directly into the black surroundings.
As Senior forum member "iDad" pointed out, now you need to analyze and adjust the blacks where they meet in his hair. Click the LEVELS button in the adjustment layer and in the resulting Levels dialog you can tweak those blacks until they match. (Thank you iDad!)
By this point I think you're done.
Zoom out and evaluate your work. It's just about right.
SAVE the file, give it a name, and then SAVE AS... again, giving it a different name. In the new file, begin dropping the layers, from the top down, so you end up with two layers, the original and the new head. Now toggle the new head off and on to see how they compare.
If it doesn't look right, close the file and open the un-flattened version and tweak any of the layers. Once it's finally the way you want it, SAVE the layered file, then flatten, then select its output format -- Tiff, JPG, PDF, etc., and SAVE AS... with the final name.
Bravo, you're successful.
Final Image
Jack, I hope you enjoyed the event!

It's about time someone (and so glad it was Tim Holtz) finally came out with a perfect size alpha script!! They are sized: (uppercase are 1" and lowercase are 1/2"; with in between sizes for all others). Perfect for scrapbook titles, cardmaking & tags. They are high quality and cut well. A bit of advise though: They are small and I highly recommend that you divide up the alphabet into each upper & lower case letters; the numbers; the accent marks. I placed mine in little 2x3 zip bags. Otherwise, you will be searching for a long time through 69 dies! ****Some of the letters are almost identical so be careful - for example, the 'n' & 'u' can be easily confused. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these dies!!
Great upper case and lower case cursive dies that clearly cuts cardstock and is a wonderful change for titles, headings and for cards, however my set came without the uppercase "V." The letters are loose in the plastic envelope and can fall out too easily, need a better packing system.
I used this alphabet die on my most recent scrapbook, and I love the font and the size. It would also work for cards. Easy to cut.
I really like this product although it was somewhat hard to figure out the small letters like the m, n ,u ... I had to write the letters on the back of the die so it wouldon't take so lo g to be able to use them. 🙄
While I don't yet own this font set, I will be when it comes back into stock. I have been piecing together his word dies to create lyrics, so this will be very helpful when I continue the project! Mahalo Tim Holtz.

What better way to start off this blog than with a cupcake? I was playing with this cupcake image this afternoon and thought it would be a wonderful way to show you just how shimmery these paints are.
The cupcake frosting was painted with Bubble Gum, a beautiful soft pink. Then the flower petals were painted in Magenta for a nice complement. Next, the flower center was painted in Royal Purple. The wrapper was first colored with the E31 Copic marker as a base, and then Golden Wheat was painted on top. It's shimmery and gorgeous!
Now this image is ready to take center stage as the focal point of a fantastic card or project.
Stamp: Clear Design Cupcakes CL158 (Hero Arts)
Paper: Classic Crest Solar White 80# Cover Smooth (Neenah)
Paint/Ink: Golden Wheat, Magenta, Royal Purple and Bubble Gum Shimmerz (Shimmering Products); Brick Beige E31 Marker (Copic); Jet Black Archival Ink (Ranger)
We're so glad you joined us for our kickoff post! Please continue to check back for new techniques, prizes, and lots of creativity and fun!
Shimmer on!

The 2012 London Jazz Festival runs from Friday 9 November until Sunday 18th. Here are 10 highlights:
• Ambrose Akinmusire
A mesmerising trumpeter, one of the new crop of African-American musicians who are restoring a political edge to jazz – but in his case with tremendous musicality. Supporting him is that razor-sharp British band Empirical.
Queen Elizabeth Hall, Friday 9 Nov (0844 847 9910)
• Peter Brötzmann
For those who enjoy an invigorating blast of free improvisation at its most wild and unfettered, this gig from German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is a must. He's joined by those American luminaries of free jazz that make up the Chicago Tentet.
Café Oto London E8 9 Nov (www.cafeoto.co.uk)
• Beats and Pieces
One surprising trend in recent jazz is the revival of the big band, especially among younger players. This gig has two cracking examples of young bands: Beats and Pieces, who hail from Manchester, and Norway's Ensemble Denada.
Purcell Room Purcell Room 11 Nov (0844 847 9910)
• Michael Wollny & Iiro Rantala
Two great figures in European jazz piano play solo sets. Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala is the more extrovert and technically dazzling, Wollny is a quiet musing fantasist – though with sudden flashes of power. The juxtaposition should be fascinating.
St James's Piccadilly 12 Nov (020 7724 2389)
• Shabaka Hutchings
Saxophonist and BBC New Generation Artist Shabaka Hutchings (below) brings together his own band, packed with the cream of young British players, with the BBC Concert Orchestra, beatboxer Jason Singh and electronica wizard Leafcutter John for a brand-new piece.
Queen Elizabeth Hall 13 Nov (0844 847 9910)
• Wadada Leo Smith
There are few more mesmerising players in contemporary jazz than the trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. His sound combines the weightiness of blues with a yearning for some far-distant Utopia. Here he joins another great musical dreamer, pianist John Tilbury.
Bishopsgate Institute 14 Nov (020 7392 9200)
• Life is for Living
The London Jazz Festival abounds in imaginative small-scale gigs every bit as enticing as the major names. This one from spry, witty singer Gwyneth Herbert is one of them. She's exploring the legacy of great jazz singer Peggy Lee, alongside the Buck Clayton's Legacy Band.
Artsdepot London N12 15 Nov (020 8369 5454)
• Jack DeJohnette Group
DeJohnette (below) is one of the great drummers in jazz history, who's honed his lean focused style over half a century of collaborations with such luminaries as Miles Davis. His quintet includes remarkable klezma-influenced reeds player Don Byron.
Queen Elizabeth Hall, Friday 16 Nov (0844 847 9910)
• Chick Corea
One of the great names in 1970s jazz-fusion, pianist Chick Corea has an irresistible virtuosity and harmonic flamboyance. Alongside him are the two first-rate players, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Blade.
Barbican Sat 17 Nov (020 7638 8891)
• John Surman
Subtly lyrical British saxophonist John Surman plays a solo set based on Saltash bells, his new album inspired by memories of his Devon childhood, and then leads a performance of Lifelines, a new piece for saxes, piano and Bolsterstone Male Voice Choir.
Queen Elizabeth Hall, 18 Nov (0844 847 9910)

(CNN) -- The number of American "patriot" extremist groups has reached a record level, according to a new study, and experts are warning of a wave of anti-government violence.
A report released Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center counted 1,360 "patriot" extremist groups in 2012 -- up by 7% from 2011. The study defines patriot groups as anti-government militias driven by their fear that authorities will strip them of their guns and liberties.
"They believe the Constitution is being raped. With hate groups, things are going to get worse because they feel like they're in battle," said David Gletty a former FBI informant who spent time undercover with various militia and extremist groups. "It's not surprising with their hatred of President (Barack) Obama that there are even more hate groups out there."
The study said California has the most patriot extremist groups, with 81.
The SPLC report also offers a bit of good news: The number of "immigrant-bashing" extremist groups -- so-called nativism organizations -- is way down from 2011, falling by 88%.
The new statistics come after a string of crimes linked to extremist groups. A year ago, a Michigan militia leader and his son pleaded guilty to federal gun charges. Last August, a 40-year-old ex-soldier-turned singer for a white supremacist rock band shot up a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, killing six people, before taking his own life. A few weeks later, a group of Georgia men was linked to an anti-government militia plot to assassinate Obama.
Obama's election as the first African-American president and his pro-gun control stance have fueled the increase in anti-government groups, according to the report.
"We are seeing a huge reaction to the potential for gun control, and that reaction is so angry that it's hard not to be afraid of what's coming down the road," said Mark Potok of the SPLC.
Domestic terror: Are we doing enough?
The rise in such groups echoes a period almost 20 years ago, around the time when Congress passed the 1993 Brady Bill and the 1994 ban on assault weapons, the SPLC said. That legislation came near a period of infamous and deadly anti-government violence in Waco, Texas; Ruby Ridge, Idaho; and Oklahoma City, "and led to the first wave of the patriot movement," the report said.

After reading a number of complaints about the quality of results and how often Google+ pages were featured in the Top 3 positions in the new personalized search, I reached out to the SEW authors community and had a bit of fun testing out Search Plus Your World. In our admittedly small and completely unscientific test, we found that personalized search seems to be missing a few key ingredients we've come to expect from Google: relevance, content quality, freshness, and context. This is largely due to the fact that Google+ results outrank those with more of the qualities we expect in organic search.
It seems possible to rank top 3 for whatever you want in the personalized search results of people who have Circled you on Google+. In its current state and with the volume of content on Google+, Search Plus Your World reminds me more of Alta Vista's Scooter, scouring their own network for broad keyword matches, than an evolution of Google search.
This could be a great thing for marketers, until it changes, as it inevitably will. Right now, though, early Google+ brand page adopters and those who survived the Google+ business account shutdown can rank for pretty much anything they choose in the logged in searches of the people who have Circled them.
Quality of Results for Personalized Search
First, I searched myself. Logged in as myself, I would expect a search for "Miranda Miller" to show results pertaining to… well, myself. Surprisingly, 3 of the top 9 results were for other Miranda Millers – granted, there are quite a few of us. But if Google can't figure out which ones are actually me, how can anyone else? Of the 6 relevant results, 2 were Google+ pages or posts, with the #1 result for Miranda Miller being my Google+ profile page. This listing dominated the space above the fold, with my last 3 activities listed in a large box at the top.
Searching for "flights to San Jose," the 5th organic spot goes to the only person in my network, apparently, who has mentioned "flight" and "San Jose" in a post. His post is from September 2011. He's not talking about flights to San Jose, but that his building is in the flight path in San Jose. Relevance? Context? Freshness? All absent. Broad keyword match is all it takes.
Ranking in Organic Search Within Your Network for Whatever You Want
Seeing this, we tried to rank for terms that have absolutely nothing to do with anything we're involved in. AOL Search Engine Optimization Director Simon Heseltine chipped to see if he could rank for my terms, as a person in one of my Circles.
The results of this (really small, completely unscientific) experiment were surprising because they showed again that currently, there seems to be absolutely no relevancy or context required to rank in the top 3 results in a personalized search. Heseltine posted a repetitive string of "hire a rocket scientist" in a public G+ post, and within two minutes, ranked #2 in organic personalized search results for the term to myself and others who had him in their Circles.
Now, you can't Circle people yourself and appear in their personalized search results – we tried. They have to choose to be connected to you. Once they are though, you can rank for whatever you want in their searches, provided they are logged in to personalized search. We saw the same results with "selling puppies" and the more competitive "flights to Jamaica."
This is big news for brands, who can rank at the top for anything they choose right now to users who follow them and are signed in while searching (AKA those 5 to 25 percent of users you're not getting keyword data on anymore!). This might depend on the topic and the volume and frequency of posts on it, but that it works this way at all runs counter to all of the improvements Google has made in regular search in the past several years. You don't have to be a topic expert. The freshness and quality of the result doesn't matter. The context of the query doesn't even appear to make a difference.
It's hard to imagine this improving personalized search results if or when, as Google plans, Google+ is widely adopted and the volume of content increases, with more to pull from their social network on a greater variety of topics. Even in early days, it seems to add a lot of unnecessary noise to organic search.
In 2009, when Google integrated Twitter into regular search, Rae Hoffman found that she could tweet her way to the top of the SERPs with Viagra and Miley Cyrus spam. One obvious difference here is the scale; Google+ users can only reach people within their network with personalized search, not the general public. However, the very idea of personalized search, the reasoning behind so many of the changes over the last year and the steps Google has taken to this, were all to improve search for users. If what we're seeing isn't fresher, higher quality, more relevant, or exactly matched to what I was looking for, where is the improvement? And what is it doing at the very top of the results?
Matt Cutts took to his personal blog to "share a search story" in an effort to show that Google's personalized search isn't favoring their own social results. He writes, "I hope that helps to make my point. Search plus Your World builds on the social search that we launched in 2009, and can surface public content from sites across from the web, such as Quora, FriendFeed, LiveJournal, Twitter, and WordPress."
His argument misses the mark, though. Whether or not other results are there, they certainly don't appear to be weighted evenly. If the most relevant, trusted results rank tops, that needs to apply to those coming from within Google's own properties as well as everyone else's if it is to offer any benefit to users.
I imagine we will see personalized search being tweaked and improved upon on an ongoing basis. However, this initial version really looks and feels like a completely stripped down version of search we might have expected 10 years ago. Full social search has to start somewhere and this initial offering leaves the kinds of holes Google spent years stopping up in regular search. Do with this knowledge what you will.

I am wondering if I eat pasta alfredo and within the first hour postprandial I start my exercises (which always reduce my BG significantly), if the effect of the pasta on my glucose still impact my A1c in the long run? I realize one time would not, but I'm talking about perhaps having pasta alfredo at lunch maybe once a week. I no longer take oral meds or insulin for my T2 diabetes, and have learned to control my diabetes with diet & exercise. I gone from an initial A1c of 12.46 to 5.73.
You ask a good question! The answer depends in part,on how high the pasta Alfredo raises your blood glucose, and how much your blood glucose drops with exercise. Since you mention that your blood glucose drops "significantly" with exercise, it's probably unlikely that your A1C will increase much from eating this dish just once a week. If your blood glucose levels are within target most of the time (at least 80% of the time), then it stands to reason that your A1C will remain in target, as well.
1 reply
Thank you Amy! Yes, my BG numbers are within target most of the time. Fasting is usually higher than I like, but I have yet to hit upon the secret to keeping that number down. And breakfast impacts my number more than I like, but I had to choose between a breakfast that impacts my BG more or my cholesterol more.
Balancing all the numbers associated with my health seems like an ongoing series of science/chemistry experiments - well, for me anyway because I am a picky eater. This is something that has been lifelong, so my options are somewhat limited. With as many food items are there are on my "will not eat" list I had to choose between eggs & breakfast meats (hard on my cholesterol) or Fiber One cereal (hard on my BG number).
But, I switched back to cereal in November when my cholesterol got too high. @ months later my blood-work showed significant improvement in my cholesterol numbers and my A1c was still down from last May (5.78 to 5.73). Granted, four of those 6 months I was eating eggs & breakfast meats.
With your response I will test the theory of exercise -vs- pasta Alfredo, but not until after my next A1c test because I still need to see the results of more months eating cereal over cholesterol foods. Like I said, ongoing chemistry experiments. And I wouldn't even go so far as to say that these experiments will conclude when I have had Diabetes longer and have figured everything out, because I don't think that happens. I think with Diabetes and the constant changes our bodies make that I will have to test & re-test different foods at different times to keep the numbers balanced for the rest of my life.
Again. Thank you for the response. It has helped me to decide to test the pasta Alfredo as my next set of experiments. :D

At the 2017 Women's March on Washington, Casual Films and Adobe chronicled the powerful story of community activist, cultural organizer and artist Kate DeCiccio.
The Women's March on Washington, and the sister marches that occurred in solidarity across the globe on January 21, will no doubt go down in history. The day following the 45th Presidential Inauguration, people gathered in D.C. in unprecedented numbers, each for their own personal reasons: to protest, to celebrate, to mourn, to overcome, and most of all, to feel a part of a powerful community of women and their allies.
Coming Together for a Cause
With several successful partnerships between Casual Films and Adobe under our belts — like interviewing conflict photographer Lynsey Addario or sitting down with the lead animators on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert — we again teamed up with Adobe to capture the energy of community on January 21, with a particular emphasis on the role of art as activism.
As Megan Anttila, Executive Producer at Casual Films, recalls, the project came about seamlessly: "Adobe, quite simply, understands the power of film and using that medium to showcase people doing important, interesting work in their communities." With excitement surrounding the Women's March growing by the day, Anttila approached Adobe about the project, and found a receptive audience. "Adobe, from the beginning, was very open to sharing ideas, and this project — with art and activism as the angle — was the perfect fit."
With Casual and Adobe revved up to cover the March, they decided to focus the story around the art of a local D.C. artist: Kate DeCiccio, a community artist and cultural organizer who has emerged as an advocate for the Oakland and East Coast street art communities, education reform, prison rehabilitation programs, and more.
Championing the Power of Art
For DeCiccio, preparation for the Women's March began long before January 21. Having focused her artistic career on portraiture as a tool for counter-narrative (much of her artwork has been in support of those impacted by police brutality, for example) she was compelled to give voice to the spirit of community and belonging that she felt the March symbolized.
In response to The Amplifier Foundation's official call for art in conjunction with the Women's March organizers, DeCiccio submitted three posters with messaging inspired by the event's purpose and the current political climate. From over 5,000 submissions, one of DeCiccio's posters was selected to be mass produced for the March. Her poster, inspired by an original photograph by Cindy Trinh, features a vibrantly colored graphic of a woman haloed by the word "WOMANHOOD," and peddles a powerful message of inclusivity: "Achieving our Full Selves by Fully Embracing EachOther."
Claiming Our Own Stories
On the day of the March, DeCiccio, Anttila and crew ventured into the city just before 7am, on a train packed with the buzzing, positive energy of fellow Marchers. Typically, DeCiccio would have made posters by hand, using spraypaint and stencils to produce 20 to 50 signs on cardboard to pass out.
But on January 21, Kate's message reached more hands than ever, thanks to The Amplifier Foundation mass producing several chosen works of art. Tens of thousands of Kate's posters along with several others were made available for free download and in print at select poster distribution points across the city. Together with TaskForce, DeCiccio also created a parachute painted with the image of Rhanda Dormeus, whose daughter, Korryn Gaines, was killed in a police shooting in Baltimore. This parachute became a centerpiece of reflection and community building during the March, with Dormeus herself marching and unraveling the parachute alongside Kate.
As DeCiccio recalls, her experience at the Women's March was overwhelmingly positive:
"There were thousands and thousands of posters with incredible messaging; really fun, smart, witty, serious, bold, beautiful messaging. To see that women chose to carry my poster, that that was the message that most resonated with them, was just incredible, and reminded me why I do this work. As artists, we're able to claim our own stories, and amplify the story of the issue that matters to us. With that artwork, we have tremendous power."
This pursuit, to use our talents to promote a larger message — whether in creating art, film, or community — is one that resonates with us at Casual. Reflecting on her incredibly powerful experience with DeCiccio at the Women's March, Anttila echoed this sentiment: "Filming an event like this is important, and we were lucky to be the ones who got to capture it. We aimed to take everything in, and to let the story tell itself. Not necessarily what you might expect from a corporate filmmaking company."
DeCiccio's Embracing EachOther poster and other artwork is available for download from the Amplifier Foundation website.

The challenges associated with marketing automation can be overwhelming for many companies. Linking channels and departments and automating functions that have never been automated before creates complexities people never imagined.
More and more, companies are using interactive technology to communicate with customers without human intervention and giving access to more parts of the company and even to partners, says Bruce Kasanoff, CEO of Accelerating1to1, a Norwalk, Conn.-based personalization consulting firm. "Then, all of a sudden... you realize this isn't about training people to send an e-mail message, it's about changing the way we do business."
still, the rewards for marketers who do it right can be staggering. "If you can better segment your markets, understand the customer, help the salespeople and work with customer service, you can become that much more important within the company," says Barton Goldenberg, president of Information Systems Marketing, Washington, D.C.
Whether you're just beginning to investigate marketing automation or have already embarked on a project, hear what consultants have to say about the people, process and technology changes needed to maximize your results.
1. Develop a Vision
Like any automation project, companies need to understand the problems they're trying to solve. "You have to understand why you're doing it before you do it," says Goldenberg.
The only way to maximize the automation effort is to identify where you can make the quickest gains. Otherwise, your project may languish before it even gets started, says Troy Reimschisel, principal consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers' Chicago office.
Reimschisel says that even while you're looking at immediate needs, you also need to consider how the marketing automation system will fit with existing marketing processes and systems, as well as how it will integrate with other company systems.
2. Understand the Organizational Impact
"Companies can't think of marketing automation in a vacuum," says Laurie Hayes, partner at CRM Insights, Danville, Calif.
Instead, Hayes advocates a more holistic approach. Companies need to look at their whole organization, carefully identify all the areas that touch customers and involve all of them from the very beginning. Beyond marketing, sales, telesales and customer service, companies must consider new opportunities to implement a marketing strategy such as auctions, exchanges and portals.
However, where there are people, there are organizational challenges such as egos and power struggles to consider. Customer ownership presents a major obstacle, says Larry Goldman at Chicago-based Braun Consulting. "We can get technology out within 90 days, but depending on the organizational change that's got to happen, that project could take 12 months," says Goldman.
The solution has to start with senior management encouraging employees to look at marketing automation as an alternative approach, says Goldman.
3. Think Process First
For many marketing departments, talk of process or structure tends to be taboo. But when you're talking about automation, you're talking process.
While creativity cannot be automated, there are many aspects of marketing that are very process-oriented, such as planning steps for marketing activities. Marketers need to understand which parts of their marketing processes can be optimized through automation.
Companies like Frito-Lay that already have good marketing processes in place are ahead of the game for automation, according to Goldenberg. For others, campaign management is not thought through and the process is not sufficiently established for automation.
While some software products have work-flow built into them, Goldenberg warns that it's not generally a good idea simply to adopt those processes. "There's nothing wrong with looking at the process of the software... but you have to choose a process yourself, train the people so they're ready for it and then automate it."
4. Organize Around the Customer
As marketers increasingly add new channels to the marketing mix, the complexities of managing marketing messages are multiplied. In addition, new communications technology dictates the need for new forms of customer interaction, says Kasanoff. 50 product managers may be targeting unrelated messages to the same people.
According to the experts, handling these new challenges is best accomplished through developing teams to manage particular customer segments. "If I understand my marketing segment, I can design the right mix of promotions and campaigns to suit that person," says Steve Diorio, president of IMT strategies, stamford, Conn.
5. Earn Customers' Trust
According to Kasanoff, most marketing automation systems today are being used to supercharge the existing, sales commission-based way of doing business. Instead, companies should be using the technology to establish a more powerful and profitable way of doing business based on satisfying customer needs.
If you don't change your starting point, Kasanoff says, you're really just going to bother the customer, making it harder and harder to reach them over time. According to Kasanoff, marketers must earn the customer's trust and willingness to share information by contacting them only when it's really in their interest to know about something.
Don't betray a customers' trust by selling their information on the open market, says Kasanoff. "We think companies should keep that information and think harder about what else they can do with it."
6. Monitor Data Integrity
The foundation of any successful automation project is a clean database. While much time and effort is devoted toward developing a database, ongoing data quality assessment is often neglected, which resulted in many data warehouse failures during the '90s.
Developing a data dictionary master file, which defines the terms used in the database, can help create consistency throughout the company. Beyond that, Goldman recommends developing a data steward program, which puts business users in charge of data categories, such as products, customers or sales. Regardless of the department the information came from, that person is responsible when there's a problem. It gives IT one person in the company they can go to for help in chasing down and solving the problem.
7. Choose Software Carefully
It's a very confusing market right now, since no one vendor provides all the tools needed for marketing automation. Because of that, you need to make sure you understand how the components will fit together with your other systems.
Hayes advises that you ask vendors to not just tell you, but show you how information will get merged, how much code needs to be written and how quickly it can be implemented. Then go talk to the vendor's customers and come back with more questions.
Reimschisel recommends asking vendors to demonstrate their products through a prototyping exercise. By asking them to show you how the software handles a real-life situation within your own company, you'll have a much better appreciation for what the software can and can't do.
8. Watch Outsourced Components
In these uncertain times, when technology is constantly changing, outsourcing pieces of your marketing automation can be an excellent alternative. "In many cases there's no reason to install a million-dollar software application when you can host it for $15,000 to $20,000 per month," says Hayes.
However, she warns that companies need to sit down with their third-party vendors to make sure they're capturing and keeping information for future business. In addition, make sure the hosted applications aren't core to your business.
"The long and the short of it is, make sure your outsourcing strategy is consistent with the information that you will need in the present and in the future," says Hayes.
9. Test and Learn
More than ever, technology is allowing marketers to understand which promotions or campaigns appeal to specific audiences. Even so, those analytical capabilities are often underutilized.
The bottom line is that if you're sending the wrong message to the wrong customer, it doesn't matter how fast or cost-effective you become. It still won't increase revenues, says Goldman.
What's needed is a rigorous campaign management discipline, according to Diorio. "Because I have such strong planning and analytical capabilities I can use this as a scientific method to continually refine the mix and understand based on customer buying behavior."
He says best-of-class companies, like IBM, have a very rigorous campaign management discipline. They've actually codified the campaign development process and are disciplined at executing and measuring campaigns on a common framework.
10. Work Toward Cross-Channel Consistency
One of the problems with marketing automation and CRM in general is that customer intimacy tends to be implemented in bite-sized pieces. "Once you do really well through one channel, [customers] expect that level in each of your other customer touch points," says Goldman.
Goldman says if you know how your customers are reacting, you can put a marketing strategy together that reaches beyond campaigns to make sure they're being treated well across all channels they're likely to touch.
It doesn't have to happen all at once. "If you've got a really powerful set of customers who use your 800 number, start there first. You'll get to the other channels as time goes by," he says.
Providing consistent high-level service across all channels will become increasingly important. For those doing campaign management and segmenting now, the next challenge will be real-time synchronization across all channels, says Goldman. "Clients have mastered Marketing Automation 101.... Now they're coming back with this problem, and it's a lot more complicated than the last one."

I don't think a simple PCI card can handle the bandwidth.

AFAIK most of the current accelerators (AMD AVIVO, nVidia PureVideo,...) use the programmable shaders for decoding, scaling, colorspace translation, etc. Most of the newer AMD/ATI cards seem not to have a "traditional" backend scaler anymore (making it hard for opensource driver devs to implement XVideo as they now have to touch the 3D engine).

It's odd to think that, once upon a time, a TV show set in space — one that declared, in its opening narration, as the cosmos being the "final frontier" — was considered the pop-cultural equivalent of an unwanted party-crasher. Yes, a concept like Star Trek was both of its time and clearly ahead of it; history has more than vindicated Gene Rodenberry's notion of boldly going where no man had gone before. But given the number of top-notch shows set in the far reaches of the galaxy and that used genre for pulpy and profound purposes over the last 30 or so years, it seems crazy to think that one of the most groundbreaking SF series was a network pariah and a ratings dud. Today, there's an entire cable network devoted to this kind of programming. You can't turn on your TV/Roku/cut-cord viewing device without bumping into spaceships, alien invasion and wonky sci-fi food-for-thought.
Science fiction has been around in one form or another since the early-ish days of television, both here and abroad, and its legacy now looms larger than ever. So what better time to count down the 40 best sci-fi TV shows of all time? From anime classics to outer-space soap operas, spooky British anthology shows to worst-case-scenario postapocalyptic dramas, primetime pop hits to obscure but beloved cult classics, here are our choices for the best the television genre has to offer — submitted, for your approval.
#27: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
While only sticklers tend to append the possessive sobriquet "Marvel's" to this show's title, it's absolutely worth noting: After all, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission is to dance between the raindrops of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's constant stream of big-screen blockbusters, reflecting changes to the status quo while still telling an engaging story about a team of super-spies in its own right. Ambitious action set pieces and likable performances from series leads Clark Gregg and Chloe Bennett ensure that it succeeds. STC

Press: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Just Revealed Hive's Master Plan and It Doesn't Look Good for the Humans
Warning: The following contains major spoilers from tonight's new episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. If you haven't tuned in yet, you may want to click away. Consider yourselves warned.
We had a feeling that whatever Hive had up his (their?) sleeve after returning to Earth was going to be pretty major, but we had no idea it was going to literally put all of humanity into jeopardy.
As the team swung into action on tonight's all-new episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to rescue an infected Daisy (Chloe Bennet)—who was quaking the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. compound apart after revealing she'd been turned when we last saw her—she and Hive (Brett Dalton) embarked on their demented SkyeWard reunion, which also involved collecting more Inhumans to infect and apparently buying a whole damn town.
At first, Hive's plan sounds beautiful. Admirable, even. "After we're finished, there will be no more war. No more pain. Especially now that we're together," he told Daisy. Who among us doesn't want to see an end to war and pain? Let's hear more!
"It's time we took back this planet," he continued. "Made it the home Inhumans have always deserved." Oh. Um. Maybe we should've stopped while we were ahead.
Of course, none of this was alarming to Daisy. She's always wanted a family, a place to belong, and, as Fitz (Iain De Ceastecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) have discovered, Hive's parasitic control has her all doped up on pleasure. "It's like this emptiness I've always had is gone," she says. Hoo boy, this is one habit that's going to be hard to kick.
That's not to say that there isn't a plan to rescue Daisy. The team always has a plan and, tonight, that involved FitzSimmons heading off to Romania to find the disgraced Dr. Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah), a rumored transhumanist (think people who replace body parts with tech a la Coulson's hand, though not out of necessity, but a desire to become something more than human) who they believe to be their best hope at disinfecting their fallen agent. Little did they know that it was a race to Radcliffe's lair.
After Daisy and Hive scooped up Alisha (an Inhuman who can send doubles of herself elsewhere) and James (that Australian guy from last week who hadn't gone through Terrigenesis yet)—as well a mysterious object buried beneath James' house that Hive only refers to as "the only thing that can destroy me"—they hightail it to Romania and snatch Radcliffe right out from Fitz's hands. Daisy tries to tell Fitz that she doesn't want to have to hurt him or Simmons, but it's a bit of a mixed message because she's also using her quake powers to nearly choke him to death.
While Fitz was having the life almost squeezed out of him, Simmons was cornered by Hive, allowing her to encounter whatever of Will is actually left inside. Sensing not very much, she fired off three shots into his gut before getting away, but it didn't do any lasting damage to the insane Inhuman because the episode closed with he and his band of happy host heads, along with the captured Radcliffe, walking down an empty street as Hive revealed even more of his plan.
"We are one organism, seeking change. And with your help we're gonna redefine humanity, permanently," he told the doctor. How, you ask? "By recreating the same Kree experiment that was done to me. And this is where it all begins." And no, not in the house they're standing outside of. He means the whole freaking town. It might be time for Coulson to call in some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s friends for help. Where are the Avengers when you need 'em?

Press: (SPOILERS) Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Hive's inside man revealed!
Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Tuesday's episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Read at your own risk!
As fast as the Secret Warriors were united they were disbanded, mostly because one of their own was inadvertently working for Hive. Twist!
Remember how Hive could literally infect other Inhumans and they'd suddenly become loyal to him? That's what happened during Tuesday's episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., when Daisy (Chloe Bennet) and her ragtag team broke into the Hydra base to save Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the gang.
After capturing Malick (Powers Boothe), the head of Hydra revealed that Hive could infect any Inhuman, putting a target on the Secret Warriors. Initially, Lincoln (Luke Mitchell) was revealed to be the culprit, having stowed the Kree orb away in his locker. But it was all a frame-job as Daisy was ultimately revealed to be infected and blindly loyal to Hive — so much so she destroyed the S.H.I.E.L.D. base on her way out. EW caught up with Bennet to get the scoop:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So presumably this is what you meant when you teased there was some crazy stuff ahead?
CHLOE BENNET: Oh girl, I wish this was as crazy as it gets. Oh my God, it gets even worse!
When did you know that Daisy was going to be infected by Hive?
We found out a couple months ago, so that sucked. [Laughs.] It was really hard. They brought me into the office. They're like, "We have some news for you. This next coming episode, you are going to be swayed by Hive, and you are going to basically be under his control, his drug. He's a parasite, he's gotten into your brain. He's able to basically manipulate you and change your motives. You're still you, you're still Daisy, you're still as powerful as Daisy, but your intentions for what you want are completely different, and that's super dangerous." I was like, "Nooooo! I can't!" You just defend your character. I feel like I'm Daisy more than I'm Chloe, so when I found out that was going to happen and I can't control any part of it, it was a big challenge for me as an actress.
Is this reversible?
I think anything is possible. We brought Clark [Gregg] back to life, so I think yes, I'm sure they can find a way.
This is a fascinating dynamic — she is devoted to Hive, who looks like Ward.
Who isn't Ward and I'm not Skye, but it's SkyeWard and I know fans are going to love it a little bit, but also be very confused.
Will Hive and Daisy connect on a level similar to what we saw with Ward and Skye since Hive has those memories?
I've gotten a lot of questions like that: "Well, is she drawn to him because it's Ward?" It's the exact opposite. You'll see moving forward that they do have a discussion about that, and she's like, "No, I hate Ward." It has nothing to do with him being Ward, it really has to do with the fact that she's under the influence of drugs. That's what the bosses told me when we were moving forward. They said, "She is basically on a large amount of drugs and not under her control. She didn't take them, someone gave them to her." She's basically been Inhuman-roofied, is how I like to describe it. There's something that Hive does to her — there's a void that she's felt her entire life as someone who is an orphan, who has always wanted to belong. Immediately, that emptiness and that sadness that she's felt is gone, and that's a really powerful thing to give someone — the immediate opportunity to belong and have all their insecurities go away. That's one of the most powerful drugs you could give someone. That's what we're dealing with.
Does she really not care that she's basically left Team S.H.I.E.L.D. to die?
I don't think she even understands as Daisy. It's funny to talk about it, because now I sound like the writers, because these were all questions I was asking. "How could she leave S.H.I.E.L.D.? What do you mean?!" It was really frustrating to me. It's like, "You're under drugs. You are yourself, but your entire intentions and your entire existence — the meaning of your existence has shifted into something completely different." That was a weird thing to play and really hard for me as an actress, because you want to defend your character and understand their choices. You have to keep going, "You're under the influence, you're intoxicated, so you're not being yourself," but you are being yourself, which is why it gets really complicated.
Are we going to see her try to fight this at all?
You'll see that. You see her getting really frustrated, because she obviously has run-ins with the team in the future, and crazy s— goes down, basically. You can see that there's an internal struggle happening, but Hive's power over her will always win.
Out of everyone on the team, who do you think has the best chance of getting through to Daisy?
Obviously it's Lincoln (Luke Mitchell) and Coulson who have the most influence. She loves Coulson like a dad and she loves Lincoln as her boyfriend and partner. It's really hard. Basically, I've been in a very emotional state for months now.
Hive had her kill Malick and destroy the base. Can you tease what Hive will want her to do in the future?
The dangerous part about that is I don't think Hive had her kill anyone. It's confusing. She had that idea on her own, and she goes, "I know something we need." So it's really about impressing him and working for him. It's really tricky. Moving forward, it's going to be such a weird thing for fans. Obviously fans of SkyeWard are going to be like, "Yay, but this is weird — no!" I can say that, moving forward, the series won't be the same at all. Nothing about the series will be the same, and the finale is truly one of the most — we're shooting it now and I've just been in stitches for days. The whole show will never be the same again.
Will those terrigen crystals she stole come into play in the finale?
They'll come into play sooner than the finale.
Are we heading for an all-out war between Hive's Inhumans and those who are with S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Yeah, it's not going to be easy. There's going to obviously be a struggle. There's an aspect of it that was kind of exciting. We get to basically see how powerful Daisy has been and how much she's been holding back. Without her moral compass working, her powers are so much more powerful than we even thought. You even see it with Malick; the way she kills him is so brutal and not something you've ever seen from her before. Moving forward, that will continue to happen. That really ties into the debate in Civil War. You see how an Inhuman in the wrong hands, or manipulated by the wrong person, is incredibly dangerous. You really see how much control Daisy has had up to this point of her powers. Then you see them unleash a little bit.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

CD Reviews
Chris Isaak's best CD.
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Chris Isaak's first recorded effort is, without a doubt, one of my favorite CDs of all time. It is dark, moody and hauntingly captivating but maintains a lively energy. A MUST for anyone who even remotely enjoys his work, let alone one who truly appreciates it."
Origin of the sound
kireviewer | Sunnyvale, Ca United States | 03/14/2000
(3 out of 5 stars)
"I really like Chris Isaak and have everything he has made. But, everyone of his albums sounds alike. This is his first album. Besides his classic song, Dancing, there is nothing here that stands out from all of his other albums. This is basically the origins of his sound that he refines and builds upon in later albums. People who have followed him from the beginning may consider this to be his ultimate album because everything later is just a variation of the original. But, if you listen to the later albums and then come back to this one, you may find that the first album is a little bland and is just the seed for better subsequent material."
Do not pass up Chris Isaak's debut album!
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Haunting, is the best way to describe this album, which includes songs like "Voodoo" and "Funeral in the Rain". Chris Isaak's first cd is among his best. His ballads are so damn pretty that you find your eyes welling up with tears; Tunes such as "Dancin'" and "Living For Your Lover" have you unconsciously tapping yout toes. It is a remarkable debut album from a remarkable, and at times, underrated, artist."
