As a bassist, bandleader, teacher, and music copyist, I've worked with hundreds of singers throughout the years. Though working musicians know hundreds of tunes, singers need to have good charts in order to have their music played the way they want. I define a "good chart" as a piece of written music that effectively tells the musicians what they should play.
Written music comes in seven basic forms: chord charts, sheet music, songbooks, lead sheets, fake books, master rhythm charts and fully notated parts.
As a musician has a responsibility to play the chart before him correctly, the supplier of the chart has the responsibility of providing the right kind of chart. Knowing what type of chart to use for what kind of tune or gig is very important.
This article explains what the different types of charts are, and under what circumstances to use them. I hope you find it useful.
Charts can be simple or elaborate according to the style of music and type of gig. Cover tunes are traditionally learned from recordings; classical and choral music can be found in sheet music stores as well as in various music catalogs; numerous tunes will be found in music books of all kinds; and many public libraries carry recordings and written music for your use.
The word "chart" refers to any piece of written music or any arrangement (music that has been adapted in a unique manner) of a tune. Decades ago it was strictly a "cool" slang term for a tune, but any piece of music could be called a chart these days, though a classical buff might not refer to a Mozart work as a "chart."
Knowing what type of chart to use for what kind of tune is very important. When you're playing a gig and someone hands you a chart -- it is what it is and you either read it well or not. But, if you buy charts, have them made for you or provide them yourself, you need to know which kinds to use for which situations. Years back, while doing singer showcases, singers brought in all kinds of charts: good ones, bad ones, incorrect ones, inappropriate ones, and it was a real pain. The singers who provided the right kinds of charts got their music played the way they wanted. The singers who had the wrong kinds of charts didn't, and weren't very happy about it. Unless a musician already knows the specific parts, he can only play according to what's on the chart before him. Though a good musician can improvise a good part in any style, if a specific musical line needs to be played, it needs to be written out.
As a musician has a responsibility to correctly play the chart before him, the supplier of the chart has the responsibility of providing an appropriate one.
Without getting into too many music notation specifics, here are the different kinds of charts and when they are used:
A chord chart contains the chords, meter (how the song is counted, e.g., in 4 or in 3 (like a waltz), and the form of the song (the exact order of the sections). This type of chart is primarily used when: 1. the specific musical parts are improvised or already known, but the form and chords need to be referred to, 2. to provide chords to improvise over, or 3. when a last-minute chart needs to be written, and there isn't time for anything more elaborate.
A chord chart does not contain the melody or any specific instrumental parts to be played. To play from simple chord charts a musician basically needs to have steady time, know the chords, and improvise his part in whatever style the tune is in.
Sheet music is a store-bought version of a song printed by a publisher, which contains the instrumental part, chords, lyrics, melody and form. An instrumental piece will, of course, have just the music. Sheet music is written for both piano and guitar. Guitar sheet music is in standard notation (often classical), as well as in TAB. A good piece of sheet music will always say whether it's for piano or guitar. Most sheet music is not meant to be completely representative of the actual recording, and the actual arrangement that you've heard on a recording is seldom present.
Many people have experienced the frustration of getting the sheet music to a song they like, playing it, and discovering that the chords are different from the recording, and sometimes the form is too. Unfortunately that's the way it is a lot, and it could be for a number of different reasons. To get the exact arrangement and chords, you need to do a "takedown" of the song: learn it by ear. A takedown is when you listen to a piece of music and write it down. Takedowns can range from simple chord charts to elaborate orchestral parts or anything in between. In order to do good takedowns, you need to have good ears, understand and be fluid with music notation to the complexity of the type of music you're working with, and preferably understand music (the more the better). Having "good ears" consists of recognizing and understanding the music, whether heard on the radio, played by another musician, or heard in your head.
Songbooks are compilations of many tunes and often contain the same information that sheet music does, along with the chords and arrangement being different from the recording most of the time. Sheet music commonly has full introductions and endings, whereas songbook tunes are generally shortened to create space in the book for more tunes. Sheet music is generally written to be played on a keyboard, but songbooks come in different styles and for different instruments. They are compiled by artist, style, decade, and in various collections including movie themes, Broadway hits, etc.
Songbooks are a good reference source when other, more exact charts are unavailable. For example: I needed two movie themes for a gig once (client request). Instead of spending $8 for two tunes of sheet music, I bought a book of movie themes for $16 that contained over a hundred tunes. Sheet music and songbooks are pretty unusable at gigs because of cumbersome page turns and bulkiness; but in an emergency you use them and do what you can. If having to use sheet music or songbooks for live performance, either: 1. recopy the tune onto 1-3 pages or 2. photocopy it and tape the pages together (although, strictly speaking, this may be considered copyright infringement). Make sure to always provide a copy for each musician.
To play from songbooks and sheet music, a musician needs to be able to read the music notation, or at least improvise a part from the chord symbols, i.e., a guitar strum, bass groove, piano groove, etc., or better yet, both. A vocalist can sing the words if they know the melody, or be able to read the notated melody if they don't know it.
Lead sheets contain the chords, lyrics and melody line of the song and are mainly used by singers, accompanists and arrangers, though they appear on the bandstand now and again. Songwriters use lead sheets to copyright their songs, and very often sheet music includes a lead sheet of the tune as a condensed version to use. Instead of having three to six pages of sheet music to turn, a lead sheet is usually one or two pages long. Lead sheets do not contain any music notation except the melody and chords, so a musician needs to know how to improvise when reading from one. A lead sheet is generally written out by a music copyist, who is someone who specializes in preparing written music. Playing from lead sheets minimally requires playing an accompaniment from the chords and understanding the form directions and symbols (the markings telling you to go to the verse or the chorus or the end, etc.) and maximally having excellent accompaniment skills and reading notation fluidly.
A fake book is a large book of tunes that contain only the melody line, lyrics and chords. There's no piano part, guitar part or bass part. That's why they call it a fake book. You have to already know your parts, or improvise them in the style of the tune. Some people call that "faking it." Faking it means to be musically adept enough to be able to follow along by ear and figure it out as you go: that's one of the reasons for ear training. When a person's ears "get trained", they learn to recognize and understand the relationship of pitches and musical elements. With this understanding you can "hear" your way through tunes, even if you haven't heard them before, you fake it. However, when you don't hear so well, you're really faking it!
Before there was an abundance of legal fake books on the market, there was an abundance of illegal fake books on the streets. (As of this writing, I've only seen a few at gigs.) Since a working musician needs to have access to a large number of tunes at gigs, musicians compiled books of hundreds of useful tunes containing only melody lines and chords. A working player doesn't need all the notes written out, because he can improvise, so large books were made with choice tunes. Some fake books are hand copied, either by a pro copyist or casually done with pen or pencil, while others consist of cut up sheet music where all the piano parts are removed, leaving the melody and chords, all for the purpose of condensing space.
Rather than take stacks of songbooks to gigs, you pop a fake book of hundreds of choice tunes into your gig bag and off you go. A tune taking up five or six pages in songbook/sheet music form can take up a page or less when rewritten by hand or cut up, leaving only the chords and melody. Fake books are often used and I've seldom been at a casual where someone hasn't had at least one.
The reason the illegal books are illegal is copyright laws. With the homemade books, nothing goes through the publishing houses that own the rights to the tunes, so neither the publishers nor the composers get paid for their use. The Catch-22 over the years has been the fact that there weren't any good legal fake books that pro musicians could use at a gig. In a songbook of 200 tunes, maybe ten were usable. So, the players made their own, and gigging musicians lived happily ever after. But since making these books is illegal, some decades ago a few nationwide distributors were arrested and fined for copyright infringement. But you still see the illegal books on the bandstands, nonetheless.
Over the years many legal fake books have been published and are very good. There are music books for: pop, jazz, rock, country, specific artists and movie themes, and there are special wedding books with all the key music that brides like. Big sheet music stores should have them all. And recently, some of the most popular illegal fake books have been made legal. (Hooray!) The 5th Edition Real Book is an example. Filled largely with jazz tunes, the book is in the original format, but published legally as the 6th Edition Real Book.
Legal fake books are plentiful at sheet music stores, and illegal books... well, you're on your own. Trade magazines and music union papers often advertise a wide variety of music books as well as joke books, ethnic music and other related entertainment materials. Sometimes instrument stores carry fake books as well.
Fake books are good to have, but the more tunes a musician knows, the better.
Master rhythm charts are charts designed for the rhythm section (piano, bass, guitar and drums). It is one chart that contains the general idea for everybody to play from: a sketch of the tune, a master copy of it all for each player. These charts are like elaborate chord charts with just enough specifics on them to make the music either feel and sound more like the original recording, or to provide just enough specifics to make it interesting and recognizable, leaving the rest to improvising.
Unless a tune is composed or arranged in this style to begin with, which many are, these charts are written by someone doing a takedown from a recording, or created from lead sheets or songbooks. Whereas lead sheets are primarily for the singer, master rhythm charts are primarily for the musicians. When a singer provides charts to the musicians in the band, these are the usual ones to use.
A master rhythm chart contains:
• All the chords
• Key rhythms (the main rhythms)
• Key melodic parts for the instruments
• Key lyrics for reference if desired
• Key background vocals if present
• Dynamics-how loud, how soft, etc.
• Any form, clarifying instructions and symbols needed to ensure a good performance of the tune.
All styles of popular music use master rhythm charts, and it's common to have one along with a lead sheet for each tune when a singer is involved. Master rhythm chart reading, and writing, entails improvising fluidly in the style of the tune, and requires fluid notation reading abilities.
When the music needs to be extremely specific it will be fully notated. Everything that needs to be played is written on the page. What to play, when to play it and how to play it: the notes, rhythms, dynamics, and any and all notational expressions, such as tempos (how fast or slow), who cues what, etc. Most professional recording sessions and shows require fluid note reading and provide individual parts for each instrument.
Though they are not written music, lyric sheets with chords deserve a mention.
Singers who play an instrument often use lyric sheets with chord symbols written above the words. For a singer/musician these are very useful, and are often used. I've used them myself.
Musicians reading these charts, however, can do well if they are familiar with the song, but this leaves a very large margin for error. Very often the chords are over the wrong words, or the chords are wrong or incomplete: very dicey business. Musicians like specifics.
My students use these all the time, and there are a number of Internet sites with thousands of lyric sheets you can download. For certain situations they are very handy!
With the presence of smartphones, tablets, and similar devices, it's common to see a musician with all of their music scanned into a device! Though this will never replace paper, it certainly is convenient! A solo pianist can leave the suitcase of music at home, a jazz player can load the 6th Edition Real Book on his or her smartphone, and a singer can get last-minute lyrics via the Internet while on the bandstand.

Travel Tips for Your Best Adventure Ever!
Beginners and experts alike should do some research before planning a trip to ensure they deal with every detail before they leave. Below are a few strategies that will assist you in making good decisions and in planning trips properly. Having plenty of time for fun on your trip requires careful planning, so you can probably benefit from the tips that follow.
Stick to boiled or bottled water when you travel. It does not matter if you are flying half way across the world or just taking a day trip in your own state. Often your stomach will not react well to different water and it is better to be safe than sorry!
Travelling by plane can be a way to greatly reduce traveling time, while increasing time that can be spent enjoying the trip. Also, you are free to entertain yourself while the pilots and other staff take care of everything. You can sit back and enjoy the flight, while traveling in comfort. If flying isn't something you're comfortable with, consider traveling by charter bus. Charter bus rentals are affordable if you are traveling with a large group.
Have you ever thought of traveling overseas? You might want to hold on to your traveling plans for awhile and go to farther and distant lands. Instead of taking two trips a year you can manage go on one trip for a year. Just make sure you keep an eye out for deals because you might get a really good deal on hotel and flight tickets.
Every traveler should know by now that joking around isn't the smartest thing to do while waiting in check in and security lines any more. Airport personnel are simply too concerned about terrorism to take jokes lightly. Progress through these lines politely and in a businesslike manner. You're more likely to be treated accordingly.
When traveling long distances by airplane, make sure to get up and walk around every hour or two to stretch your legs. Staying seated for too long can lead to medical issues such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), so take a stroll up and down the aisle every once in a while.
Even if you are planning an extended stay in a foreign country, there are some items you should leave behind, mostly as a precautionary measure. Valuables such as jewelry, are safer at home than they are overseas. While the desire to bring a reminder of home with you is understandable, don't take sentimental or one-of-a-kind items that can't be replaced. Remove unnecessary, yet important items from your wallet, including credit cards that you don't need and your Social Security card.
Travelers without children should not be too quick to judge or get angry with small children on a public mode of transportation. Traveling with children is quite stressful for the parents as well and they are usually highly embarrassed by their child's behavior. Try to remember that you were once a child as well and if in a plane, recognize that high altitudes are quite hard on a small child's inner ears.
If you're planning to stay in the same city for awhile, you should look into renting an apartment or house instead of staying at a hotel. You can find many websites devoted to short-term rentals. By renting, you will save money, get better accommodations, and have a more authentic local experience.
Never underestimate the power of a small medicine kit while traveling. Include an over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medicine, antibiotic gel or cream, anti-itch cream, stomach acid reducers, pain relievers and Band-Aids. You never know when tiny medical irritations may strike and it is better to be prepared. You may even be able to help out a fellow traveler!
These tips were designed to give you good insight on getting started with your own traveling adventure. These tips were carefully selected in the hopes of inspiring readers to make smarter choices while planning upcoming trips.

A new poured-concrete wall membrane could fracture along with ribbon in a very additional hit-or-miss manner; this may also start off slanting down.
A number of events when a new harmed maintaining wall membrane should be dismantled along with rebuilt. By way of example, you simply can't normally correct destruction via aging railroad-ties in a very solid wood wall membrane. On the other hand, a lot of masonry-based partitions might be "rescued" in lieu of demolished while destruction comes about.
Maintaining wall membrane destruction can be akin to your destruction which could get lucky and groundwork partitions. For that reason, groundwork restoration building contractors contain the coaching along with resources to solve along with boost smaller sized partitions.

It is understandable, if not acceptable, that Sheriff Doug Gillespie would call a press conference and plead for patience from the public and the press in answering questions about some recent officer-involved fatal shootings.
Just over a year ago, the sheriff had to stand in front of the press and admit that much of what he had averred in a previous press conference about a high-speed collision that killed a Las Vegas police officer was completely false. It turned out that when officer James Manor plowed into a pickup that was attempting a left turn on Flamingo Road early one morning in May 2009, his flashing lights and sirens were not activated, the patrol car was traveling 109 mph in a 45 mph zone, the officer was not wearing a seat belt, and the man arrested and charged with driving under the influence and failing to yield to an emergency vehicle was not drunk and not at fault.
Late last month, the Metropolitan Police Department agreed to pay the falsely accused driver $120,000.
Since that fatal crash and two others, the sheriff has ordered his officers to wear seat belts and to drive no faster than 20 mph over the posted speed limit. He also doubled the driving training police get in their first five years on the force and spelled out a number of other restrictions.
Now Sheriff Gillespie faces two police shootings that raise serious questions about police policies and procedures. The sheriff can't be at every incident and directly supervise ever officer's behavior, but he is in charge of making sure officers are properly trained and with setting those policies and procedures.
On July 10 at the Costco in Summerlin, 38-year-old Erik Scott, who had a concealed carry permit for his two weapons, was shot to death by three Las Vegas officers as he exited the store. Costco employees had called police, saying Scott was acting erratically and was carrying a handgun. Police said Scott was shot after he pulled a gun and pointed it at them.
Witnesses give wildly differing accounts. Investigators have talked with more than 40 witnesses, including more than a dozen who said they saw a gun in Scott's hand when he was shot. Review-Journal reporters talked to several witnesses who said they saw no gun and three who said Scott appeared to reach for his gun, but could not say he actually pointed it at the officers.
Some witnesses heard police yell "Drop it," while others heard them command Scott to "Get on the ground." Was Scott trying to comply with conflicting orders?
Reportedly, a Costco employee was on the phone with police when the shooting occurred, and the officers' commands might be on tape. But Metro will not release the 911 recordings, saying they are part of an ongoing investigation.
Of whom? Also, it has yet to be confirmed whether the several Costco security cameras captured the shooting on video. The hard drives from the security system have been sent to a forensic lab in California. No word as to what, if anything, was captured.
The public wants to see and hear what transpired so they can know if their officers acted to protect lives or perhaps anxiously fired too soon. A scheduled coroner's inquest has been delayed indefinitely.
Another case raising questions is the June shooting death of Trevon Cole, 21, during a marijuana raid at his apartment. Police say he made a "furtive movement," but his pregnant fiancee said he had his hands in the air when he was shot in the head by a policeman's rifle.
It turns out the sworn affidavit, signed by the detective who fired the shot and that led to the raid, might have contained several errors. The affidavit said Cole had a "lengthy criminal history of narcotics sales, trafficking and possession charges" in Houston and Los Angeles. No record of that criminal history has been found.
Also, the search of the apartment turned up an unspecified amount of marijuana, $702 in cash his fiancee said was for the rent, and no weapon.
Police should perform a risk/benefit analysis in carrying out operations. When does the risk to officers and citizens rise to the level of, in balance, being worth it to the community? Do nighttime raids on petty pot dealers meet the standard? Does charging toward a Costco with guns drawn meet the standard?
Speeding without lights and sirens did not.
The sheriff should tell his constituents and take appropriate action.

For years, marketers have flocked to small markets to test products, advertising concepts or other marketing initiatives in the most representative microcosms they can find of the U.S. market. The trouble is that most of these markets are ethnically unbalanced compared with the U.S., usually with a larger proportion of whites than the nation as a whole.
Finding the perfect ethnic balance in any metro area is hard. Large coastal cities have above-average minority representation. Cities and towns in the Midwest or South are disproportionately white or African-American.
Wichita, Kan., a fairly common test market that's 8.6% African-American and 7.4% Hispanic, is more representative than most. But Wichita Falls, less commonly used for testing, is even more so.
In an Advertising Age review of 2000 Census data for all Metropolitan Statistical Areas, the north Texas town of about 140,000 was nearest the national norms for the two largest ethnic groups in the country-African-Americans and Hispanics. It's the only area to come within three percentage points of the national average for both groups.
Wichita Falls' population is 9.6% African-American, or 2.7 percentage points below the norm, but closer than most small markets. Its Hispanic population of 11.8% is only 0.7 points off target. Its Asian population of 1.7%, while substantially off the 3.6% U.S. norm, also comes closer than most small markets. And Wichita Falls' Native American population of 1.7% is nearly spot on the national average of 1.5%.
Subtract the roughly 36,000 residents in the rest of the MSA from the city of Wichita Falls, with 104,197 residents, and the place gets even more average, with a black population of 12.4%, Hispanic population of 14% and Asian population of 2.2%.
By other measures, Wichita Falls is also close to average. Its average household size of 2.5 is just off the national norm of 2.59. Median age is younger, at 33.6 vs. 35.3 nationally.
Even geographically, however, Wichita Falls is strangely symbolic-nearly spot on center in East-West terms but somewhat south of the geographic center of the 48 contiguous states, reflecting the shift in population to such Sun Belt states as California, Texas and Florida.
And though it's in the Southwest, it's only about 20 miles from the borderline Midwestern state of Oklahoma. Even the college in Wichita Falls has a perfectly generic-sounding name-Midwestern State University.

Atrios has the gross error here, if you don't pick up on it at first. I will also remark that Goldberg declares a distinction between involuntary servitude and slavery that he doesn't actually observe in his Obamassa article. You can tell because he uses both fucking words to describe Obama's plan.

The topic to lead with today is not another pathetic Bruins performance, nor yet another don't-give-Pedro-the-money column, this time by Dan Shaughnessy, but the startling word from Jim Baker that the Mike Adams morning show is being yanked. Coming in it's place? None other than (to paraphrase CHB) "thanksdad" Andelman. (or as he's already being called on the tagboard.."mini-me") Yep, that's right, Michael Andelman is being lined to be handed the 6-10 am slot along with his current "Saturday Shakedown" hosts – Kevin Winter and Ryan Risillo. A couple people on the Tag Board here were talking last week about that Saturday show and that they enjoyed it. I'll give it a fair shot. I do feel bad for Adams, who I think never got the people around him that he needed in order to succeed.
Links were a little delayed as I had to shovel the 10 feet of snow first. Seriously, the end of my driveway, where the plows go by and fill in, was up to my armpits and I'm 6'5″. This is insane.
I'm not even touching the Bruins.
Thinking warm thoughts…let's go to Florida. Tony Massarotti has a nice column on Pedro Martinez working with Casey Fossum. Pedro sees a lot of himself in Fossum, and has a pitching coach-like mentality around him, analyzing his delivery, spotting flaws and offering advice on adjustments. In looking over the red Sox roster, Gordon Edes is disturbed over the fact that the Red Sox do not have a single African-American projected as an everyday player or starting pitcher. A little puzzling, as if several of their players were born in the US rather than in the Dominican, this wouldn't be an issue. Gerry Callahan likes Todd Walker and questions fans who are pining for Rey Sanchez. Callahan was also gushing about David Ortiz on the radio this morning…how much fun the guy is having, how pleasant he seems…yep the same Ortiz that Shaughnessy has referred to on a number of occasions as "a huge sack of you know what". Steven Krasner looks at forgotten man, Frank Castillo, who has something to prove. David Heuschkel looks at a sleeper candidate to be a lights out guy in the bullpen; Chad Fox. A good look at the hardships Fox has faced, from losing his brother to cancer, to the injuries he's had. Heuschkel also reports that the Sox are close to a contract with Millar. Jeff Horrigan also looks at Fox and how though he is from Houston, he jumped at the chance to play for the Red Sox. Lenny Megliola promises not to complain about the weather on opening day, no matter how raw it is. Bob Hohler reports about Walker and Ortiz are united in their dislike for their former Twins manager, Tom Kelly. Karen Guregian criticizes the Red Sox for not making a harder push to sign Tom Glavine in the offseason. Jon Couture tries to keep an open mind about Sabremetrics while musing over spring traditions. Massarotti looks at Ortiz, and how winter ball prepared him for playing in Boston. Krasner has a brief blurb on an annual event…new guy wants the uniform number that someone else already has. Edes reports on John Henry Williams' latest baseball venture. Hohler's notebook looks ahead to Manny's arrival, Ramirez is ticked off at the Boston media for how they've treated him…as he should be. Horrigan's notebook gets reaction to the tragedy in the Baltimore camp, and a Millar contract update. Krasner's notebook has an interesting tidbit in how Pedro led to Ortiz signing with Boston, and some other assorted notes.
Shaughnessy and Bill Reynolds had Pedro articles, but it's nothing you haven't read already, or hear ad nauseam on radio and TV.
Bob Ryan says watch out for the Warriors. I actually can't remember the last time the Celtics won on the Warriors home floor. (It was 1995, but I still don't remember that) Steve Bulpett looks at the Celtics getting a little rest, and also addresses the Mark Blount trade rumors which surfaced last week on ESPN.com insider.
John Molori bounces around on a number of national media topics.
ESPN.com has redone their homepage, with the focus on video. You need a broadband connection, and once you install a plugin, streaming content is automatically downloaded when available so that you have a TV-like quality in the video streams.
FSNE has Celtics/Warriors at 10:30. TNT has Rockets/Lakers at 10:30, but Shaq is likely out, so no rematch with Yao tonight. ESPN has Michigan St/Illinois at 7:00 and Alabama/Georgia at 9:00. ESPN2 has St. Johns/Syracuse at 7:00.

DeLay Touts DOJ Decision to End 'Weak' Probe Into Ties to Lobbyist
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay declared Monday that he had been "exonerated" after the Justice Department informed him it had ended its six-year criminal investigation into his ties to former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The former Texas Republican congressman said he was relieved the probe had ended and expressed confidence that he'd be able to beat back charges in a separate campaign finance case at the state level, but said the federal investigation has taken a "huge toll" on his family.
"I always knew this day would come. My only hope was it would come much sooner than the six years we've been doing this," he said.
DeLay's attorney said earlier Monday that no charges would be filed by the federal government. DeLay, speaking on a conference call with reporters, described the "weak" case against him as indicative of a toxic political environment where lawmakers are not just investigated but personally destroyed.
"I know that this is the price of leadership, but frankly it doesn't have to happen this way," he said. "The criminalization of politics and the politics of personal destruction is not beneficial to the country or to our system. And hopefully it will stop. ... The new politics is not good enough to beat you. They have to drown you and dance on your grave."
DeLay specifically criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who helped lead Democrats into the majority after DeLay left Congress and pledged after the 2006 election to "drain the swamp" in Washington. "She was the swamp," DeLay said.
Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami responded that DeLay "can two-step all he wants, but as The Washington Post described it: a criminal enterprise being run out the majority leader's office."
Two former aides to DeLay have been convicted in connection to crimes related to the disgraced former lobbyist, but DeLay was not implicated. He said Monday that he turned over more than 1,000 documents and e-mails, as well as a trove of computer files. "The case was so weak that I was never interviewed by the investigators," he said.
The Justice Department had no comment.
Separately, DeLay has been indicted in Texas on charges of money laundering and conspiracy allegedly connected to 2002 state legislative elections. That case is pending.
In 2002, DeLay and the two other men used the new Texans for a Republican Majority political action committee to raise and spend about $600,000 to defeat Democratic candidates for the Texas Legislature. The three men were indicted in 2005 for allegedly laundering $190,000 in corporate money -- heavily restricted under state law -- to help elect GOP legislators.
DeLay said Monday he's "ready" to go to trial and predicted he would win.
Watchdog groups were not so ready to put DeLay in the clear.
"The decision by the Department of Justice to drop its criminal investigation into former Majority Leader Tom DeLay's relationship with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff is further evidence that the scandal is not what is illegal, but rather what is legally permitted each and every day in Washington, D.C.," David Donnelly, campaign manager for the Campaign for Fair Elections, said in a written statement.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said DeLay, known on Capitol Hill as "The Hammer," belongs in prison no matter what the Justice Department decides.
"It's a sad day for America when one of the most corrupt members to ever walk the halls of Congress gets a free pass," CREW director Melanie Sloan said in a written statement. "The Hammer belongs in the slammer. Mr. DeLay still has crimes to answer for in Texas -- generally not considered the best place to be a criminal defendant."
DeLay's legal problems led to his resignation from the House of Representatives in 2006 after serving more than two decades in Congress.
Since stepping down, DeLay has launched a political consulting firm and made headlines as a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars."
Asked Monday what's next, he said: "I don't know what the Lord has for me."

LOS ANGELES -- Greg Zuerlein is staying with the Rams, signing a three-year contract extension Tuesday that signified just how much has changed for the veteran kicker in a span of 11 months.
Last April, Zuerlein was coming off a down year and had to settle for a one-year deal. He converted only 66.7 percent of his field goal attempts in 2015, tied for last among those with at least 15 tries. But he improved that percentage to 86.4 in 2016 -- ranked 10th -- and earned more long-term security.
Rams punter Johnny Hekker voiced his appreciation on Twitter.
GZ coming back is huge!!— Johnny Hekker (@JHekker) March 14, 2017
Love the drive and leg strength he has. He he a huge asset to our team and an amazing friend!#GregTheLeg https://t.co/dk3dMj6Aj0
Zuerlein, 29, will be reunited with Hekker and special-teams coordinator John Fassel, one of only three holdovers from Jeff Fisher's coaching staff.
Zuerlein's greatest asset is his leg strength. He has converted two field goals of 60 or more yards and has made 18 50-plus-yard field goals over his five-year career, ninth most in the NFL. His career field goal percentage of 79.4 ranks 45th among 56 qualified kickers since 2012, but his inordinate amount of long attempts has affected that rate.
This past season, Zuerlein missed only one of his 18 attempts within 50 yards.

Yes, it's certainly an irresistibly campy bill at the Bill Graham Civic this Wednesday night — slaphappy hair-metallers Motley Crue and Poison, performing together, all these post-heyday years on.
But there's an even better reason to attend, and get there early — the band who probably taught them how to rock, the legendary New York Dolls, are opening the show, with founding members Syl Sylvain and David Johansen now augmented by another '70s hero, ex-Bowie guitarist Earl Slick.
They're backing a rollicking new record, "Dancing Backward In High Heels," that boasts a glammy Dolls reworking of Johansen's old solo-career staple "Funky But Chic."
"When Morrissey got us back together in 2004 for the Meltdown Festival he was curating, we never really thought past that," admits Sylvain, now in his late 50s. "But the Dolls is a very magical thing — it's really organic in the way that we work, and not really rocket science. Like, hey, it works? Cool! If it doesn't? Trash the son of a bitch! We come from a long history of live performing, and that was the way we did it on our first album with Todd Rundgren, and that's the way we're doing it now. So we never really thought about what would happen when we regrouped — that the audience just would not let this baby go!"

DALLAS, Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Builders FirstSource, Inc. (NasdaqGS:BLDR) today announced that CEO Floyd Sherman, age 78, has advised the Company's Board of Directors that he intends to step down as CEO effective January 1, 2018.
In accordance with the Company's succession plan, Paul S. Levy, Chairman of the Board, confirmed that the Board intends to appoint Chad Crow, currently President and COO of the Company, as President and CEO effective January 1, 2018.
Mr. Levy commented, "Today we are formally announcing the transition of Builders FirstSource leadership. Floyd's stewardship of Builders FirstSource began in 2001, only a few short years after the Company was founded, when Builders FirstSource was at a critical point in its development. Floyd's vision, leadership and execution were instrumental in creating the business we have today. Through his 16 years of leadership, Floyd has effectively guided Builders FirstSource through industry downturns, numerous business changes and the successful acquisition and integration of ProBuild, and, today, we announce this transition at a time when the Company is producing record results. We owe a great debt to Floyd for his brilliant leadership and his unwavering determination to make our Company the success it is today. We are very pleased that he will remain on the Board of Directors through May 2018, and serve as an employee advisor to the Company through March 2019.
Commenting on the transition, Mr. Sherman remarked, "I could not be more proud of what we have built at Builders FirstSource. I am confident in Chad Crow's leadership, and know I am leaving the Company in very capable hands. Over Chad's 18 year tenure, he has been involved in all aspects of our operations, including serving as CFO for seven years and COO the past three years. He was instrumental in taking the Company public, guiding us through the worst housing downturn in history, and setting Builders FirstSource on a positive growth trajectory. His extensive industry experience, knowledge of our operations, and respect for our people, will be invaluable assets as the Company implements its growth strategy in the coming years."

GONZALES, LA (WAFB) - Authorities are searching for a man accused of shooting his estranged wife and their 12-year-old son.
Deputies with the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office say Ronald Green Sr., 44, called a woman around 2 a.m. and told her that he killed his wife and son and had planned to jump off the Mississippi River Bridge.
When deputies got to the home of Green's wife and son, they found the front door glass shattered and 40-year-old Dewona Green and 12-year-old Ron Green Jr. were found shot to death in a bedroom.
Green's vehicle was found abandoned and still running on top of the Veterans Memorial Bridge in St. John Parish. St. John Parish deputies and Ascension Parish deputies have been in the river there, searching for Green. Two helicopters, including one from Livingston Parish, were seen circling the skies around 11 a.m. Thursday morning, as well.
Authorities said there is a strong possibility he may have jumped off the bridge, but the search for him continues as though he is still alive. Deputies are scouring the area where the car was found for any indications of Green's whereabouts.
Green is described as a black male, bald, with a thin mustache. If you have any information on Green's whereabouts, you are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 225-344-STOP (7867).
Detectives have secured arrest warrants for him for two counts of first-degree murder and violation of a restraining order.
Authorities said the couple had recently separated and deputies were actually called out to the home the previous week for an incident. Following that incident, Bacala said the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office Domestic Violence Unit assisted her in getting the restraining order against her husband.
Bacala added Ronald Green Sr. was served the restraining order at the couple's home on April 11 and deputies stayed while he gathered clothes and left. According to reports, deputies warned him he would be arrested if he returned to the home or tried to contact his wife.
Bacala stated reports show Ronald Green Sr. was arrested in East Baton Rouge Parish the very next day for violation of protective orders. He added Green was taken to jail and later bonded out. Documents show his bond was set at $2,500.
A candlelight vigil will be held to honor Dewona Green and her son Ron Green Jr. The vigil will be held Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 8 p.m. on Lakeway Cove Ave., off of Hwy 44 in Gonzales.

I tasted the flesh of man before my first moon. It's a ritual, part of the blooding ritual a hatchling has to undertake before they can leave the pits. It was seared to hide the branding marks, the skin taken from a captive of the last wars, but I ate it like ambrosia.
We all did.
It's a horrible curse, to be free to walk amongst men. Our purpose, the very raison d'être of our existence, is to instil fear within the mortal folk. To take at random and leave the eviscerated remnants. Our form was broken, hideous. But we could pass, invisible to mens eyes as they looked away from the skin.
Throughout all history, we have done this. As plagues or crusades or inquisitions, we have tortured mens souls because they torture our very bellies. Until I met you.
It was early autumn, in a city where the leaves turned orange but the wind and the rain had yet to come, that I found you sitting on a park bench, listening to the children play in the twilight. I sat beside you and already my mind raced through images of your corpse, splayed out across the playground. Oh I would feast so well.
You smiled at me.
I showed you my face but you didn't cry out. Your hand reached for my own, feeling the scars and broken bones from punishments for failing to please our masters. You caressed it. You reached for my face with your blind fingers and I flinched.
But you smiled at me.
And I let you place your palm against my own skin. I could smell you. So perfect. So delicate. My stomach ached and I wanted to devour you there and then but my mouth could not form the words to speak to you, much less rip into you. I cried, sitting there on the park bench.
For you smiled at me.
And in that instant I knew I would go hungry for as long as I lived and as long as I lived I would not be able to see a mortal face without seeing your smile.

In the spirit of the king himself, members of a local Elvis Presley fan club are ``taking care of business.``
Taking care of business, or T.C.B., was the late rock `n` roll idol`s motto. Members of Eternally Elvis T.C.B., Inc., share that philosophy.
In its five-year history, Eternally Elvis has built an impressive reputation, donating thousands of dollars in cash, goods and services to a wide range of charitable causes.
``We wanted to return some of the happiness that Elvis had given to us, and it was decided that the most fitting tribute would be to continue his generosity in helping others and to uphold his name with respect and dignity,`` explains a club spokesman.
The club has made donations to the South Florida State Hospital; public radio; the Easter Seal Center; the Frankie Scarborough Fund, established for the 6-year-old victim of a pit bull attack, and the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation.
Money is raised through yard sales, donations, newspaper and aluminum collections and, of course, the sale of Elvis memorabilia.
Paige Monk, 38, a secretary, wife and mother of two teen-age daughters, serves as club president.
``I don`t think there is a typical fan,`` Monk said. ``I think he reaches all ages.``
And, what do her daughters think?
``Well,`` Monk said, ``they kind of roll their eyes sometimes, but they understand.``
The group meets at 7:30 p.m. the first Friday of each month at the Broward Federal Savings & Loan Building, 10050 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines. The public is invited.
Humana Hospital Biscayne`s Cardiac Club will present a free lecture on stress management at 7 tonight in the fifth-floor solarium at the hospital, 20900 Biscayne Blvd., Miami.
Registered occupational therapist Randy Davis will discuss stress management, biofeedback, relaxation techniques, Type A personalities and time management.
The Cardiac Club is for people recovering from heart ailments and for those interested in learning how to maintain a healthy heart.

If I ever need another color, I'll happily purchase. It also fit true to size. I purchased my usual as well as one size up, and the usual fit perfectly.
I got the loveseat and it is so chic! I love the loveseat details and the quality is pretty good as well. I also like the size in general, I like how the color is versatile enough to wear for all the seasons. I especially love it. Definitely would recommend! I LOVE THIS loveseat. I read reviews saying it good and perfect. so I love it. Perfect color, perfect value, etc.
I really enjoy using this Latitude Run Milner Loveseat. I have this loveseat in another color, and ordered it now for my friend. it was a great buy since the moment I saw it! I ordered online & am so pleased with it! Very happy with my new loveseat. I'd been shopping for a new loveseat and found the prices to be very high from some retailers.

And a big thank you to both of your nephews for the work they are doing.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Sue, for your kind words. Noah and Matthew are not my nephews, however; they are my grandsons.ReplyDelete
Sorry about that. I knew it, and the post said so, and my dsylexic fingers and brain still made the error.ReplyDelete
Now you have me wondering which is a closer relative, a nephew or a grandson. A grandson is a direct descendant, of course, and a nephew is not, but a nephew is only one generation removed whilst a grandson is two generations removed. I lie awake at night considering such things. To the common ancestor, your parents, your nephew is their grandson and your grandson is their great-grandson, so I think I may have solved the puzzle as it relates to your parents. But I can't help thinking that one's child's child would qualify as a closer relative than one's sibling's child. We may never know the answer.ReplyDelete
A great experience. Noah will always remember this trip.ReplyDelete

Can I use midi with FMOD in UE4 somehow?
- You must login to post comments
Great Answer
Hi ,
Yes you can get access to the FMOD LowLevel API via the Studio API (ie Studio::System::getLowLevelSystem)
You can load a midi file as a stream using the low level createSound/Stream call.
You can also pass a low level sound as a source for a 'programmer sound' in studio, if you want to do things to the sound in an event.
So you can either
1. play the sound with System::playSound
2. pass the sound to the programmer sound callback, and trigger it as a sound in an event, which is a better workflow for sound designers.

My first grade artists will be exploring color over the next few weeks. We began with a little color "play" as we created these beautiful giant acorns. We talked about earth tone colors, warm colors, and I discovered that some of my smart artist were familiar with neutral colors!
We read two books that inspired us during this project – Lois Ehlert's "Nuts To You" and "Micawber" by John Lithgow.
We also examined lots of acorns from Mrs. Brouwer's oak trees. Then it was time to draw…and paint…and add texture details.
I love their acorns – and can't wait to get them hung up in the hallway.
This lesson was inspired by a blog posting from a fellow art teacher….when I figure it out, I'll include the link….
And here it is….belated thanks to Dali's Moustache! Check it out, here's the link to this fun blog:

Every two years, Poetry on Loan publishes a list of poetry books recommended by library staff. Some of them may be familiar to you; others might not be. Dip into them, or read every book on the list, cover to cover - wither way, there's something here for everyone.
Here is the 2016 list, with reviews written by West Midlands' library staff :
edited by Mark Fisher
In 2016, Ledbury Poetry Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary. Hwaet! (it means Listen! in Anglo-Saxon, and is the opening of Beowulf) is an anthology of poems by 200 poets who have performed at the Festival over the years. There's something for everyone - poems from round the corner and all over the world; poems from poets who are household names and those you may not have heard of; poems serious, funny, thoughtful, sensational. A magnificent buffet of poems to dip into now and then - although you will find yourself coming back to it until you have tasted it all.

Nobody told me: poetry and parenthood
Hollie McNish
Hollie McNish was on her way to her first Glastonbury Festival poetry gig when she found out she was pregnant. Nobody Told Me is a diary of poems and stories written from that day onward: "A diary of all the things / I couldn't talk about". Whether she's breast-feeding her six-month-old daughter in a public toilet, or tackling a ten-hour train journey with a tired two-year-old, Hollie's writing is honest, direct, witty and moving. This is an engaging read which will appeal to readers who are new to poetry as much as to seasoned poetry fans.

Liz Berry
Even people who don't usually read poetry find themselves drawn into Liz Berry's world with this collection. The poems can be appreciated on a first reading but with further reading you see how beautifully made they are. Liz Berry doesn't just write about the industrial past, her poems have contemporary themes – Carmella the hairdresser; the Steam Room; the man who bought a milking pan for a Christmas present.
There is a real feeling in this book that Liz Berry writes from the heart about what is important to her in the language of the people and the places she loves.

Imtiaz Dharker
This is Imtiaz Dharker's fifth collection, and includes some of her stylishly detailed drawings - a beautifully crafted book of poetry.
Many of the poems have urban settings, reflecting her cosmopolitan upbringing and her current life. They span a huge range of human emotion and experience - love, loss, hope, memory, staying and leaving, youth and old age. They have a life-affirming theme, and some emphasise the poet's passionate belief in the uplifting strength of women and girls as shining and joyous lights in the world.
A book full of treasure!

The nailmakers' daughters - poems from the Black Country
Emma Purshouse, Iris Rhodes, Marion Cockin
From Black Country ironwork and factories to ballrooms, tow paths and meadows, these poems resonate with memories and experiences evoking a powerful connection to the past. Accessible, grounded and entirely without pretension, the poems has a strong sense of place, and all three poets describe the region's landscapes with pride and affection. Many of the poems are written in dialect and sometimes it was as if you can actually hear the voices when you read them. Humorous, poignant, and nostalgic - there is something very comforting about the poems in this collection which leaves you with an overall sense of peace.

Jo Bell
Kith is the second collection by Canal Laureate Jo Bell. It promises us "love, sex, boats and friendship" but gives us so much more.

The poems are accessible and direct, yet have a curious subtlety, enabling the reader to see the world in a new light. Jo Bell's deft touch and powerful imagery ensure that you will want to go back to these poems time and time again.

The beautiful librarians
Sean O'Brien
Sean O'Brien's The Beautiful Librarians collection has a bitter political theme with a sense of nostalgia for the mid-century life. It unapologetically points out the loss of social values and empathy throughout the years. This is truly a book of great variety of theme and form.

Loop of jade
Sarah Howe
Winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize 2015
Sarah Howe compares her own life and upbringing with that of her mother, and attempts to understand her dual nationality in a modern multicultural world. Many of the poems are in prose format and they look at traditional Chinese stories which have an element of sadness about them, such as in the poem Tame which considers the Chinese proverb, "It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters," and puts a twist on it for the modern reader.
Well worth the effort to discover this new voice in the world of poetry.

Product line extension is the procedure of entering a new market segment in its product class by means of using a current brand name. An example of this is the Campbell Soup Company , primarily a producer of canned soups. They utilize a multiproduct branding strategy by way of soup line extensions. They have over 100 soup flavours putting forward varieties such as regular Campbell soup, condensed, chunky, fresh-brewed, organic, and soup on the go. This approach is seen as favourable as it can result in a lower promotion costs and advertising due to the same name being used on all products, therefore increasing the level of brand awareness. Although, line extension has potential negative outcomes with one being that other items in the company's line may be disadvantaged because of the sale of the extension. Line extensions work at their best when they deliver an increase in company revenue by enticing new buyers or by removing sales from competitors.
Subbranding is used by certain multiproduct branding companies. Subbranding merges a corporate, family or umbrella brand with the introduction of a new brand in order to differentiate part of a product line from others in the whole brand system. Subbranding assists to articulate and construct offerings. It can alter a brand's identity as subbranding can modify associations of the parent brand. Examples of successful subbranding can be seen through

. Gatorade, a manufacturer of sport-themed food and beverages effectively introduced Gatorade G2, a low-calorie line of Gatorade drinks. Likewise, Porsche, a specialised automobile manufacturer successfully markets its lower-end line, distressed detail sweater Black Alexander Wang Online Cheap Price Pay With Paypal For Sale N9pj6WCZQ
and higher-end line, Porsche Carrera .
Brand extension is the system of employing a current brand name to enter a different product class. Having a strong brand equity allows for brand extension. Nevertheless, brand extension has its disadvantages. There is a risk that too many uses for one brand name can oversaturate the market resulting in a blurred and weak brand for consumers. Examples of brand extension can be seen through

. Kimberly-Clark is a corporation that produces personal and health care products being able to extend the Huggies brand name across a full line of toiletries for toddlers and babies. The success of this brand extension strategy is apparent in the $500 million in annual sales generated globally. Similarly, Honda using their reputable name for automobiles has spread to other products such as motorcycles, power equipment, engines, robots, aircraft, and bikes.
That's just the start of 5G -- South Korea's attempt to showcase the first-in-the-world commercial use of the technology that's not scheduled to roll out globally until 2020. At the Games, shuttle buses run with no humans at the wheel, and 360-degree images in real time show competing figure skaters as they glide around the ice.
Fifth-generation wireless networks are designed to be wicked fast, about 100 times faster than 4G. At 10 gigabits a second, 5G can send a full-length high-definition movie in seconds. It also paves the way for the "internet of things," where devices from refrigerators to traffic lights to dog collars can talk to each other.
The tech industry is counting on the new capabilities: 5G will be important for developing artificial intelligence, drones, self-driving vehicles, robots and other machines that transmit massive data in real time, said Sandra Rivera, Intel Corp.'s California-based senior vice president overseeing network platforms. In other words, if computers talk to each other like children in 4G now, they'll soon speak like grown-ups in 5G.
"It really is, we call it, the era of machines," Rivera said in an interview. "Machines are coming, and the 5G is a big enabler with that true convergence of computing and communications."
The Pyeongchang showcase, engineered by South Korean telecom carrier KT Corp. , uses technology from Intel, Ericsson AB and Samsung Electronics Co . Left out is Huawei Technologies Co. , which is also racing to develop 5G technology.
After the Games are over, the technology will go offline as developers analyze the data and work out kinks. 5G is due to be rolled out by South Korea's wireless carriers next year.
In the past, sporting events have helped introduce new technology, such as the high-speed trains unveiled at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Color television also went mainstream after the Games in Japan, which will host the Summer Games in 2020.
About 1 billion people worldwide are likely to be 5G-enabled within five years, and that will lead to $12.3 trillion in global economic output by the mid-2030s, according to researchers from Ericsson and IHS Markit.
Due to its speed, 5G opens possibilities that even engineers still aren't aware of, much like the explosion of apps after the release of the iPhone.

"The technology has great promise to enable new types-of-use cases," said Chris Lane, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein Co. "However, it will take many years for the full functionality to be developed and for applications that make use of this to appear.
As part of the Pyeongchang rollout, tiny 5G-linked cameras attached to bobsleds will stream live video from the point of view of the pilots. The 360-degree videos of figure-skating events will allow viewers to stop the action to view twists and turns from every angle. Self-driving shuttle buses have interior video screens showing live coverage of events in 5G instead of windows, and use 5G to navigate the roads.

If you have been diagnosed recently with diabetes, take a tip from one who knows and enroll in the Meals, Meds and Monitoring workshops put on by Diabetes Wellness through the Windsor Essex Community Health Centre.
Diabetes and me
Who you gonna call?
If you have been diagnosed recently with diabetes, take a tip from one who knows and enroll in the Meals, Meds and Monitoring workshops put on by Diabetes Wellness through the Windsor Essex Community Health Centre.
It is not a major commitment of time — three weekly two-hour classes — but you will learn invaluable information about diet and managing your blood sugar.
The workshops are free, funded by the Ontario ministry of health and long term care, and are conducted year-round at various locations across Essex County.
To find out when the next series of classes begins at a location near you, call 519-997-2823. The program also provides Living With Diabetes support groups in Windsor and Leamington.
To learn more about the disease, check out these websites: diabetes.ca, ontario.ca/diabetes, childrenwithdiabetes.com, and diabetes.org (US).
I knew I was diabetic before I was diagnosed.
I had all the warning signs: excessive thirst, weight loss, blurry vision, frequent urination, fatigue.
More telling was that diabetes was in my family.
But like a lot of people I was in denial. I Googled diabetes and checked off each symptom, so when my doctor confirmed it, I was more relieved than shocked.
So was my wife.
Diabetes is a life sentence. There's no cure and it's progressive.
I have Type-2, which is the most common form. Type-1 is more serious and usually diagnosed at a young age. There is also gestational diabetes, which women can contract in pregnancy, but it usually disappears after giving birth.
According to estimates by the Canadian Diabetes Association, more than nine million Canadians suffer from one of the three major forms, or are pre-diabetic, which means they will likely develop the illness at some point.
The most troubling statistic relating to diabetes is the high number of young people being diagnosed with Type-2.
It's one thing to learn you have diabetes at 50 and face the possibility of serious health complications 10 or 20 years down the road. But if you're 15, it's a far sight more dire.
Diabetes is a condition in which blood sugar is too high because insulin produced by the pancreas is either insufficient or unable to carry the sugar to parts of the body which need it. The sugar remains in the blood system and can lead to blindness, heart disease, impotence, kidney disease and nerve damage.
I just turned 61, which put me at risk. The fact diabetes is in my family made me a high risk. My poor diet, bulky waistline and lack of exercise meant I was a poster boy for adult onset diabetes.
Anyone over 40 is advised to have his or her blood checked every three years. If you have any of the conditions mentioned above, you should be tested at least once a year.
When I went in for my physical last fall, my family doctor remarked on the fact I'd shed 20 pounds in the 12 months since my last physical. I told him, if anything, I should have gained weight because I wasn't doing anything special to take it off.
Of course, I knew from my own research and suspicions, not to mention the constant fatigue I was feeling, what the problem was. He ordered blood tests and put me on a medication called Metformin — four 500 mg tablets a day.
I was also issued a blood glucose meter, which is covered by my company medical plan. The pharmacist showed me how to use it and that first test I had a blood sugar reading of 17 mmol/L. The acceptable range is 4-7 prior to a meal, 5-10 two hours after.
Obviously, I had some work to do.
Along with the medication and meter, I was told to attend workshops for diabetics put on by Diabetes Wellness, a program of the Windsor Essex Community Health Centre.
The program, which is free, consists of three weekly two-hour classes. They are available across the region at convenient locations. The great thing is you can take your spouse or significant other with you for no charge. That way they learn about the disease along with the patient and can provide essential support.
Diabetes Wellness is overseen by health care professionals, including doctors and nurses. But many family doctors don't recommend it to their patients for some reason. Ask if your doctor doesn't mention it first.
Dr. Arthur Kidd, a leading Windsor endocrinologist, is the primary medical adviser at Diabetes Wellness. Half his professional life is spent with diabetics.
"I have been treating diabetes for more than 40 years," said Kidd, 65, the former chief of staff at Hotel Dieu-Grace Hospital.
"There have been various transformations in the way we look at diabetes over the decades."
Traditionally, said Kidd, diabetes gets a bad rap.
"If you have it, people lay a guilt trip on you. You haven't taken care of yourself. You don't eat right. Your lifestyle is to blame. Endocrinologists, however, don't think of it that way."
Actually, those people are right on each count. But it isn't all the patient's fault.
"The emergence of Type-2 diabetes is an epidemic worldwide," Kidd said.
You can see why by looking at developing or Third World countries, where the incidence of diabetes is rising at alarming levels. In largely agrarian cultures machines have eased workload, but the metabolism of those people depends on physical exertion.
"They may be getting a better level of nutrition," Kidd said, "but metabolically they evolved to get by with less. Generally, around the world there is less expenditure of energy."
The same is true to a different degree in all cultures. "The metabolism our ancient ancestors selected was based on a lifestyle of hunting and gathering," Kidd explained.
Labour saving devices are also energy conserving devices.
"The lifestyle changes that affect our physical activity involving the use of the big muscles of the body aren't being compensated for with changes with regard to energy consumption."
The result is our bodies produce more blood sugar than we need. That's why exercise is so important.
"I'm as guilty as the next person," said Kidd. "We all put off regular exercise. But it doesn't have to be highly sophisticated."
A few years ago, the New England Journal of Medicine reported on a study that measured the effects of diet and exercise on prediabetic patients. It found that those who exercised 30 minutes a day for five days a week were 58 per cent less likely to get diabetes than those who didn't exercise. They also lost an average of 10 per cent of their body fat.
"It boils down to walking 30 minutes a day, and I don't mean a leisurely stroll. I tell my patients to imagine they are trying to get to the store before it closes."
In my case, I started walking my dog every day. It was good for me and certainly good for her. In fact, she sets the pace and sometimes it's all I can do to keep up. We can learn a great deal from our pets.
I've also taken up yoga twice a week. Although I'd rather not have diabetes, I'm not looking at it as a downer. I was ready for a lifestyle change. I needed to eat better, cut down my alcohol consumption, and exercise. Better late than never.
Yes, I will have to live with diabetes from here on out. But I'm in for the long haul, so I figure my diabetes will have to learn to live with me, too.
