Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood.
Causes of Diabetes
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar. Diabetes can be caused by too little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.
To understand diabetes, it is important to first understand the normal process by which food is broken down and used by the body for energy. Several things happen when food is digested:
- A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body.
- An organ called the pancreas makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be stored or used as fuel.
People with diabetes have high blood sugar because their body cannot move sugar from the blood into muscle and fat cells to be burned or stored for energy, and because their liver makes too much glucose and releases it into the blood. This is because either:
- Their pancreas does not make enough insulin
- Their cells do not respond to insulin normally
- Both of the above
There are two major types of diabetes. The causes and risk factors are different for each type:
- Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it is most often diagnosed in children, teens, or young adults. In this disease, the body makes little or no insulin. This is because the pancreas cells that make insulin stop working. Daily injections of insulin are needed. The exact cause is unknown.
- Type 2 diabetes is much more common. It most often occurs in adulthood, but because of high obesity rates, teens and young adults are now being diagnosed with this disease. Some people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it.
- There are other causes of diabetes, and some patients cannot be classified as type 1 or type 2.
Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar that develops at any time during pregnancy in a woman who does not have diabetes.
If your parent, brother, or sister has diabetes, you may be more likely to develop the disease.
Diabetes Symptoms
A high blood sugar level can cause several symptoms, including:
- Blurry vision
- Excess thirst
- Fatigue
- Frequent urination
- Hunger
- Weight loss
Because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar have no symptoms.
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes develop over a short period. People may be very sick by the time they are diagnosed.
After many years, diabetes can lead to other serious problems. These problems are known as diabetes complications, and include:
- Eye problems, including trouble seeing (especially at night), light sensitivity, and blindness
- Sores and infections of the leg or foot, which untreated can lead to amputation of the leg or foot
- Damage to nerves in the body, causing pain, tingling, a loss of feeling, problems digesting food, and erectile dysfunction
- Kidney problems, which can lead to kidney failure
- Weakened immune system, which can lead to more frequent infections
- Increased chance of having a heart attack or stroke
Tests and Exams
A urine analysis may show high blood sugar. But a urine test alone does not diagnose diabetes.
Your health care provider may suspect that you have diabetes if your blood sugar level is higher than 200 mg/dL. To confirm the diagnosis, one or more of the following tests must be done.
Blood tests:
- Fasting blood glucose level -- diabetes is diagnosed if the fasting glucose level is higher than 126 mg/dL on two different tests. Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dL are called impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. These levels are risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
- Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) test --
- Normal: Less than 5.7%
- Pre-diabetes: 5.7% - 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or higher
- Oral glucose tolerance test -- diabetes is diagnosed if the glucose level is higher than 200 mg/dL 2 hours after drinking a sugar drink. (This test is used more often for type 2 diabetes.)
Screening for type 2 diabetes in people who have no symptoms is recommended for:
- Overweight children who have other risk factors for diabetes, starting at age 10 and repeated every 3 years
- Overweight adults (BMI of 25 or higher) who have other risk factors
- Adults over age 45, repeated every 3 years
Treatment of Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes may be reversed with lifestyle changes, especially losing weight with exercise and by eating healthier foods. Some cases of type 2 diabetes can also be improved with weight-loss surgery.
There is no cure for type 1 diabetes.
Treating either type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes involves medicines, diet, and exercise to control blood sugar level.
Everyone with diabetes should receive proper education and support about the best ways to manage their diabetes. Ask your healthcare provider about seeing a diabetes educator.
Getting better control over your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels helps reduce the risk of kidney disease, eye disease, nervous system disease, heart attack, and stroke.
To prevent diabetes complications, visit your health care provider at least two to four times a year. Talk about any problems you are having. Follow your health care provider's instructions on managing your diabetes.
Support Groups
Many resources can help you understand more about diabetes. If you have diabetes, you can also learn ways to manage your condition and prevent diabetes complications.
Prevention of Diabetes
Keeping an ideal body weight and an active lifestyle may prevent or delay the start of type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented.

Houses with a minimalist design concept seems quite interesting in the big city. It is evident from the number of housing developers who proposed the concept of minimalist design of housing to be built. This design is favored by many people because it is simple.
Minimalist concept also means that everything contained in it as necessary and appropriate for use. Minimalist design as much as possible to avoid the curved ornaments. Decorations should not be too much, because it would eliminate the impression of minimalist when there are decorations everywhere.

Suddenly I had a brilliant idea. I should go to Asheville and yarnbomb Lark books. I adore Lark books-they publish beautiful books on craft, extremely beautiful craft. My favorite books are their 500 series – collections of photos of handmade beads, pitchers, knives, chairs, bracelets, necklaces and lots more. I have an entire book case of their art.
I flew to Charlotte and drove to Asheville. I parked at Earth Guild and walked down the hill and over to Lark publishing. It was hot and people were playing bongos. I had my measuring tape in my pocket.
Lark Books is a large new brick building with a alluring closed bookstore storefront and a sign on the door saying " We are a publishing house, not a bookstore". I pressed my nose to the glass and looked in longingly.
There were no poles in front of Lark books but there were 2 fine parking meters. I measured them and walked back to my car. I got my bag of yarnbombs and yarnbombed the flatiron corner. {More on that later} A woman came by and told me flatly " They will never let you keep that up. It will be down in an hour"
This was very discouraging. Maybe I shouldn't yarn bomb Lark books. I trudged along. Then my mind cleared " These pieces are a gift. I just give them " I thought." It doesn't matter at all if they take them down"
I sat down at Larks' parking meter and started to sew. I had a really decorative yarnbomb for them-with red knit roses. Suddenly a man shouted " We know what this is! Crocheted Yarnbombing !' { This is almost true}
I was a little startled. I looked up and there were 3 very bright faced people smiling at me. One woman had a stack of extremely good looking books under her arm . I wanted to gently pull them away from her and sit on the sidewalk and read them. " We work at Lark books and we saw what you were doing and we ran out to see" the young man said.
This was great. I told them how I loved their books and collected them all.The blonde woman, Beth disappeared . Chris took pictures. It was so fun to talk to them. Beth reappeared and handed me 3 beautiful new books , " The Masters Series " books on Earthenware, Quilts and Collage. I was floored. { Have I told you how much I love those books ? }
I think this was the best thing that has happened to me while I have been yarnbombing. Read what Lark Books wrote here.

An excerpt from this excellent article by Robert Reich:
"The key reason why the recovery is so anemic is that so much income and wealth are now concentrated at the top is America's the vast middle class no longer has the purchasing power necessary to boost the economy.
The richest 1 percent of Americans save about half their incomes, while most of the rest of us save between 6 and 10 percent. That shouldn't be surprising. Being rich means you already have most of what you want and need. That second yacht isn't nearly as exciting as was the first.
It follows that when, as now, the top 1 percent rakes in more than 20 percent of total income -- at least twice the share it had 30 years ago -- there's insufficient demand for all the goods and services the economy is capable of producing at or near full employment. And without demand, the economy doesn't grow or generate nearly enough jobs.
Wall Street is part of the problem because it's responsible for so much of the concentration of income and wealth at the very top -- and for much of the distress still felt in the rest of the economy after the Street nearly melted down in 2008.
The Street has turned a significant part of the economy into a giant casino involving mammoth bets with other peoples' money. When the bets go well, the rich owners of the casino (Wall Street executives, traders, hedge-fund managers, private-equity managers) become even richer. When the bets go sour, the rest of us bear the costs."
Update: here's a link to an interview/discussion with Paul Krugman on the difference between supply-side economics and austerity and looking at demand and governmental policies for stimulating the economy:

Wow, helluva graph Joan. Talk about unfair. I think it was Bill Maher who made this pizza analogy, and I've been quoting it a lot since hearing it. He says something like, imagine a pizza divided up into 100 equal slices, and the first guy who gets there takes 43 slices. I don't know who would call that fair, so I don't know how people justify this crap in real life.
Yes, here is the graph with the missing 1% that we have been looking for. All the graphs (with an exception) showed only the tip 99% or others only the 95%, which does not tell the story that needs to be told.
We are about to enter an election in which money plays a major part in who is heard, who listens, and what happens to dissenters.
All those "Occupiers" and resisters faced by armed police face the reality of money power. An awfully lot of us are going to be hit up the side of the head or blasted in the face with tear gas before this is over.
If we don't won over the dominators, we will just have to go another round in later years ... that means my children and grand children and great-grand-children will have to make the fight.
Jedi, that pizza could use a little re-distribution strategy.
Another story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/11/americans-suffered-record_...
"The median family's net worth dropped 38.8 percent" between 2007 and 2010.
"The median net worth, which is the value of assets minus debt, plunged to $77.3 trillion in 2010 from $126.4 trillion in 2007. Net worth in 2010 was at levels last seen in 1992." I.e., we lost 2 decades of wealth in a 3-year span.
What this article fails to mention, but which another one does (link missing), "The biggest drops occurred among middle-income Americans, whose wealth was inextricably linked to the housing market boom and bust. Meanwhile, the wealthiest families actually saw their median income rise slightly."
Also, minorities bore the largest brunt of the losses, while whites suffered far less.
Jedi, good data! Thankfully, the message is getting out. More people begin to understand what has happened and what will happen if we don't change our basic, fundamental political and economic problems ... which are systemic problems, not caused by workers, but by speculators who use money belonging to wage earners as if they were in a casino.
Modern Money Theory Summit Italy 2012 (1/18) - Paolo Barnard - Introduction
Aha, thanks for that Joan! Right, Dylan Ratigan is leaving his show (Dylan, don't go!) to "act" (how, he's completely unsure of right now!) on the perspective he's been sharing for the past three years, and the $29 TRILLION the Fed printed up and sent straight to the banks at ultra-low interest rates (and which the banks audaciously bought up US debt with higher interest rates, creating a circular transmission of the wealth from us, US taxpayers, right to the wealthy) was one of the stats he posted on his show. This video you posted shows that if that money had gone to regular Americans, we'd each be sitting on over $90k. Our currency is going to spiral downwards in value.
Well, I guess we have an education problem on our hands. Oh dear, that means more hate calls and personal emails telling me ... Oh dear! I've got a tough skin.
I didn't quite follow you. And yes, we've got an education problem, but the education problem is only a part of the greater problems. We've got a crisis of democracy, a crisis of economic philosophy, and still broader philosophical problems about the nature of justice and goodness and even the nature of the world we live in and human nature and even the nature of reason itself. How much can we really expect from a nation full of people who have a fairy-tale understanding of humanity, reality, and our relationship to the cosmos? How much can we really expect from a nation of people who accept that faith can really bring you closer to truth, and reject reason and evidence because it conflicts with their fantastical interpretation of reality? And then we expect to be able to reason with them about economic philosophy? Not to mention the looming environmental crisis which will cause worldwide devastation within the century? I'm sorry, but I'm becoming convinced that this century will be as marked by war as the last century was, and will probably make last century pale in comparison. Then our children will look back and say what fools we were for worrying about economic philosophy when we should have been busy getting rid of religion and working together to save the planet and our fellow man.
Well, done ranting for the moment. Have a nice night! :-)
There is nothing like a good rant to bring issues into focus!
When you wrote, "I didn't quite follow you." I assume you refer to the hate calls and emails. They used to cause me pain; those days are gone and I just mark it up to denial and delusions of those who think we are still in the "Leave it to Beaver" stage (which never did exist).
OK, given that we live in a time of crisis of gigantic proportion, how does one maintain balance and equanimity in one's life? For me, I can't imagine remaining quiet or inactive, although my energy level isn't what it once was. I like asking the why, what, who, questions and seeing if I can find a reasonable answer. I suppose that is fool-hearty and a waste of time. You do make a good point about our children's view of us as they reach maturity and try to figure out how to survive and thrive.
Your words resonate in my head with all the nonsense being accepted as justice and freedom and equality of opportunity and environmental degradation denial and the use of the word "love" in such casual ways.
You have a nice night as well!
Yeah that's why I said I didn't follow you. And I still don't. Why are you getting hate calls and email?
I don't think asking the important questions is fool-HARDY or a waste of time. Perhaps it is in a country that doesn't reward people for thinking, but at least then we can recognize that we are not being appreciated and try to create our own communities. I wish the 27k of us on this website would found our own town and create a truly modern society. But since that isn't likely to happen, I'll look for other alternatives.
Ok, off to bed for real this time! Good night!
The hate mail I receive has to do with my three favorite themes: politics, economics, and religion. Of course I am critical of all three and try to be specific about why I hold such strong feelings.
I perceive politics as under the influence of taking care of owners of capital and wealth as opposed to caring for people's thriving;
I perceive economics as under the influence of owners of capital who write the laws, secure enforcement of laws that benefit them, and caring little if at all for the suffering of people;
I perceive religion as the cause of great suffering and offer an alternative of no-deity or superhuman or spiritual being.
There are those who do not share my opinion or vision and respond with threats to me in graphic, sexual, brutal terms, i.e. one would sodomize me with a welding torch. Of course these coward do not make such threats publicly, but are brave enough to threaten anonymously.
That said, if I would remain quiet, not voice my opinion, then I would be effectively silenced by them ... even as I made the choice to be quiet. Therefore, I increase the scope of my contacts and the intensity of my accusations.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Following a successful weekend road-trip that saw the MIT water polo team win two out of three conference games, Columbus Leonard and Craig Cheney earned Player of the Week honors from the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) on Wednesday. Leonard was named the CWPA Northern Division Defensive Player of the Week while Cheney was tabbed as Rookie of the Week. Tech downed Connecticut College on Friday night, 16-6, and Queens College on Saturday, 15-14, before falling to St. Francis College, 16-7, and now stand at 7-6 overall and 4-2 in CWPA Northern Division play.
Leonard had a record-breaking performance in net on Saturday against Queens College, as he set a new single-game MIT record for saves in the back-and-forth shootout. The Engineers would need every one of his 21 stops to hold off Queens, 15-14. Leonard also made 14 saves in the loss to St. Francis later in the day and held Connecticut College scoreless while playing just the first quarter of Friday night's game.
Cheney tallied 10 goals in the three games over the weekend, including a team-high six in the win over Queens. He leads the team with 35 markers in his rookie campaign.
The Engineers host Harvard University in their final Northern Division contest of the season before traveling to Connecticut College on Saturday for the Division III Eastern Championship.

- Consider your interests within the broad range of law enforcement opportunities. Departments to think about include police, sheriff, corrections, federal, university, parks and wildlife. Concentrations within these include homeland security, drug enforcement, K9, detective, community policing and probation.
- Investigate opportunities to observe an officer at work, such as a ride-along program.
- Learn what will be expected of you physically, emotionally and mentally.
- See if there are support programs to help you through exams and training.
- Find local and national networking opportunities. Cormier regularly meets with women from all fields of law enforcement. NAWLEE matches women at all levels of law enforcement with a mentor to guide them professionally.
The percentage of women in law enforcement is hovering under 15 percent, according to the National Center for Women & Policing, and it's not increasing. Here's straight talk from current and former female police officers as to why we'd all be better off if that percentage rose, what's been holding the numbers down and which women are needed to fill the gap. Why More Female Officers Benefit Everyone Research and history have disproved the notion that women aren't suited for law enforcement. National Center for Women & Policing data shows female police officers traditionally employ a style of conflict resolution that puts communication before physical confrontation -- a notable finding as law enforcement agencies come under fire for excessive force. Female officers also reduce the risk of accusations of impropriety by their male coworkers when they search female suspects and prisoners, according to a study by the National Center for Women & Policing. In a similar vein, female officers are particularly effective in situations involving other women. Susan Cormier, a veteran patrolwoman for the Pawtucket Police Department in Rhode Island, is regularly called outside her district on cases of sexual assault or child molestation, "because people open up more to the sensitivity of a female officer," she says. The Perception Problem Although women in law enforcement must meet the same physical, academic and psychological standards as men, stereotyped expectations of behavior still exist. "No matter how often a woman proves herself in the job, she's got to do it over and over again," says Diane Skoog, executive director of the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLEE) and former chief of police for the Carver Police Department in Massachusetts. "Once a guy does it, he's set." Although Cormier has never experienced discrimination within her department, people have asked her if she's scared or assumed she's inexperienced. The best reassurance is to look professional and act with authority, she says. Where Are the Women? According to The Police Chief Magazine, part of the problem law enforcement has in attracting women may have to do with simple marketing strategy. There's evidence targeted recruitment efforts, such as specific Web pages and female officers at job fairs, goes a long way toward increasing the number of women officers. Early education may also help. Cormier participated in a cadet program in her teens, and even though the program was affiliated with the Boy Scouts, she remembers an even mix of boys and girls. Now Cormier speaks at schools, camps and youth guidance programs. Skoog says that women often leave law enforcement or stay in comfortable positions to satisfy family responsibilities. The 2000 US Department of Justice Bulletin Recruiting and Retaining Women: A Self-Assessment Guide for Law Enforcement advises setting a comprehensive policy for pregnancy and childcare to retain female officers that should cover such subjects as eligibility for and duration of pregnancy and childcare leave, light duty and disability insurance benefits. Do You Fit the Profile? Skoog's perfect candidate for law enforcement has "a unique personality. You're given a lot of power over others' lives." She recommends someone well-rounded and educated, with an "even" personality and an ego in check. The rewards of law enforcement should resonate with you. Cormier thrives on the diversity of challenges that have been set before her, including SWAT, bike patrol and training new officers. She enjoys being engaged in her community and the chance to help others. "There are so many agencies that are looking for women," says Skoog. Along with the benefits women bring to law enforcement, parity clauses in town charters, grant restrictions that demand a certain percentage of women in an agency to qualify and a basic need for more applicants of either gender have opened this profession. "This is the field for women today," Skoog says. If law enforcement sounds right for you, here's how to explore your career options:

CEA2006 Specifications:
Attention, subwoofer fans: Get control of your bass with the Premier GM-7150M Mono Amp. It powers out 360 watts when driven at 2 ohms - drive it hard, and you can even get up to 800 watts maximum. It also delivers some important features for fine-tuning your system, namely selectable 50Hz bass boost with a wired bass remote, and a built-in crossover. Other features include oversized power terminals, speaker level inputs, and a wide input level of 200mV to 6.5V. Plus, it's backed by the Premier 2-year factory warranty.
2-Ohm Mono Stable
The GM-7100M is built to efficiently handle low-impedance loads, down to 2 ohms. That's perfect for a pair of 4-Ohm Woofers like the Premier-exclusive TS-SW124D Shallow subwoofers, or running a Dual Voice Sub like the TS-W126DVC or TS-W106DVC. And it doesn't just "handle" them: it continually monitors and adjusts the power supply voltage rails, for continuous, clean output. Among other things, this means that you can connect it to two subwoofers.
Selectable Bass Boost with Wired Bass Remote
So you're in the driver's seat going 65mph and you want to fine-tune the bass boost. But the amp's out of reach, way in the back. What are you supposed to do — pull over, get out, and run around to the trunk? That's why the GM-7150M comes with a wired bass remote. If the urge to go from 6dB to 12dB suddenly comes over you, just reach out and make the change. Bass boost gives you more control over how your music sounds. It's set at 50Hz, ideal for tuning in some more thump from your subwoofers. And because this is selectable bass boost, you can set the level at 0dB, 6dB, or 12dB, whichever sounds best to you.
Variable Crossover (40 ~ 240Hz)
For added flexibility, the variable crossover lets you set the levels at which higher-frequency signals will be filtered out, so that the remaining lower-frequency signals get sent to your sub(s). Where they belong. This optimizes your system's efficiency and delivers the best possible sound quality. This step-up feature is a really useful tool for fine-tuning your system.
Speaker Level Inputs
What, you DON'T own a Pioneer headunit? Well, we won't hold it against you. In fact we'll even help you build onto your system. The GM-7150M's speaker level inputs allow you to connect your OEM unit (or any unit that doesn't have the typical RCA-type inputs) without having to buy add-on adapters. SO, the install goes faster, you save money, and you've got a Pioneer amp in your vehicle.

August 2014
At this meeting we had a swap meet, both a hardware swap meet and a software swap meet
July 2014
Video/audio was not recorded.
First, Yancey provided a demo of ArtistX. It is an Ubuntu-based bootable DVD containing many free multimedia software packages for audio, 2D and 3D graphics, and video production.
Later, Mike Major showed a MK808 device. It is an "Android TV Stick". The main electrical specs are:
- Rockchip RK3066 Dual Core Cortex A9 Processor
- Quad Core Mali 400 Open GL GPU
- 8GB NAND Flash Internal Storage
- 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi (USB 3G Dongle support not included)
- 2.4Ghz wireless remote keyboard and mouse supported
Here is a FAQ for MK808b, which may be a good start for the uninitiated.
Wireless is pretty bad on these units (mainly due to poor manufacturing quality). If you are in the same room as the AP, it might work. However, speeds will be slow. There are several purported fixes for this which include do a soldering gun. I was not successful due to the extremely small wire gage. I chose to go with USB Ethernet instead and disable wireless in "Settings". There are 1 or 2 USB Ethernet adapters for which Android has kernel modules included. Use one with the ASIX AX88772 chipset. Pluggable.com sells the USB2-E100 model that works.
Freaktab is the place to get a rooted ROM. The section "Android TV Player Support" is what you want. There are several versions of Android available.
I don't recommend the Complete Linux Installer. I tried it about 1 year ago. It took a lot of work (hacking) to get Arch to run. I didn't know any better at the time so I thought that was "State of the Art". I tried Linux Deploy after fighting too much with the previous one. I really recommend Linux Deploy. It is highly polished; has good options; provides step-by-step install; supports startup scripts and partition mounting. Overall I think it is very good. Root access is needed.
I use Samba Server from Ice Cold Apps. I think it works well. On a rooted device there is no need for port forwarding. It can be set to auto-start on boot.
Some people are loading XBMC on the device.
/data is not mounted at boot time when the custom init.d scripts are run. If you are making an init.d script to mount something there at startup, it won't work.
There is no systemd support on Android. If you want a linux distro that uses systemd for init, you will have to maintain your own service start-up scripts.
rsnapshot is a good light duty remote backup solution. It is based on rsync. Use SSH key-based authentication for unattended backups.
USB hard drives work just fine. Partitions formatted with FAT32 will be auto mounted by Android (just like a USB flash drive). ext2/3/4 partitions are supported for read/write but they will not be auto mounted. Drives/partitions will show up as /dev/block/sd[x] (as opposed to /dev/sd[x]).
USB hubs work fine. A powered hub might be recommended depending on the devices attached and the associated current draw. A hub with a wifi catcher for a wireless keyboard/mouse, a powered external hard drive and a ethernet adapter works fine unpowered in my use case.

'Skyfall' Tops 'Avatar' As the U.K.'s Highest-Grossing Film of All Time
Step aside, Twilight. Two weeks at the box office for Breaking Dawn Part 2 just wasn't enough to cut it against the 23rd Bond film, Skyfall. Sam Mendes' take on 007 tops the box office after its sixth week of release, and became the U.K.'s highest-grossing film of all time. Deadline reports that "in 40 days of release, the 23rd James Bond movie has grossed £94,277,612 ($151,795,059) at the box office to overtake the previous record held by James Cameron's Avatar... "
Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli commented that they are "overwhelmed" by the positive response moviegoers have bestowed upon the Daniel Craig-starring movie. "We are very proud of this film and thank everybody, especially Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes, who have contributed to its success," their statement read. Box office numbers tally Skyfall's North American numbers at $245.9 million so far (since Sunday). That price tag has been helped somewhat by premium ticket prices for Skyfall's IMAX experience.
Although Skyfall has topped Avatar in the U.K., globally the film still has some work to do. Skyfall's $870 million is still no match for the James Cameron's environmental saga's record $2.8 billion, according to website BoxOfficeMojo. Does Bond have it in him?

What people say about this SINGER 7469Q Confidence Quilter Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine?
Good for beginners
I have quilted for years on an old 90's Singer and decided to finally move into the 21st Century. Of course the reason I never upgraded was cause I was broke so I thought I would try out the Singer 7469Q – I got it at Jo-Ann's which has a 10 day return!
I used this machine to quilt a queen sized wedding chain quilt. I plan on returning it. I have been wanting to upgrade from my early 90's Singer and wanted to check out this one. It feels cheap – for ex. the thread holder is thin flimsy plastic. The LED light is incredibly dim – you need a desk lamp. Also, the stiches don't get very long — my old Singer you could get long basting stitches which is nice.
It's fussy about the thread – you have to have it threaded just right or it goes nuts – I never had this problem before either.
It does pretty well with free motion quilting — a little jerky but after an hour or so I had gotten used to it and could do some attractive stitching.
Over all, I…

Baby Boomers Approach 65 – Glumly
As the leading edge of the giant Baby Boomer generation turns 65 on January 1, 2011, a Pew Research roundup of new and recent surveys finds that this age group is more downbeat than others about the trajectory of their lives and the direction of the nation as a whole. This report explores Boomers' political and social values; their economic hopes and fears and their overall satisfaction with life.
The Rise of College Student Borrowing
Graduates who received a bachelor's degree in 2008 borrowed 50% more than their counterparts who graduated in 1996, while graduates who earned an associate's degree or undergraduate certificate in 2008 borrowed more than twice what their counterparts in 1996 had borrowed.
Using Census Data to Document Economic Distress
The Census Bureau just released its 2009 American Community Survey statistics, and included some additional analysis to address public interest in using the data to document the impact of the economic downturn.
One Recession, Two Americas
For a narrow majority of Americans (55%), the Great Recession brought a mix of hardships, usually in combination: a spell of unemployment, missed mortgage or rent payments, shrinking paychecks and shattered household budgets, but for the other 45% of the country, the recession was largely free of such difficulties.
A Third of Public Says It's Sometimes OK for Homeowners to Stop Making Mortgage Payments
More than a third (36%) of Americans say the practice of "walking away" from a home mortgage is acceptable, at least under certain circumstances.
Since the Start of the Great Recession, More Children Raised by Grandparents
One child in 10 in the United States lives with a grandparent, a share that increased slowly and steadily over the past decade before rising sharply from 2007 to 2008, the first year of the Great Recession.
Lost Income, Lost Friends – and Loss of Self-respect
Long-term unemployment takes a much deeper toll than short-term unemployment on a person's finances, emotional well-being and career prospects.
How the Great Recession Has Changed Life in America
Of the 13 recessions that the American public has endured since the Great Depression of 1929-33, none has presented a more punishing combination of length, breadth and depth than this one.
U.S. Birth Rate Decline Linked to Recession
There is a strong association between the magnitude of fertility change in 2008 across states and key economic indicators including changes in per capita income, housing prices and share of the working-age population that is employed across states.
Women, Men and Marriage
Our new report uses four decades of U.S. Census data to delve into historic gender role reversals in the spousal characteristics and economic benefits of marriage.

webfuze necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 17 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Country-styled e-commerce web design with all the fixin's! We're looking for a designer who can deliver a little down home perspective and creative flair to our website design. It's got to be friendly and inviting since we're hoping to sell to garden folks who really enjoy growing vegetables. But don't overlook the underlying e-commerce element that will inspire visitor's to add products to their baskets.
Clem's Tomato Ladders and Clem's Pepper Ladders
Clem's Tomato Ladders is a small mom and pop shop sellingvegetable support systems to home vegetable gardeners. Our customers wouldprefer to spend more time in the yard and less in front of a computer so wefelt it was really important to let them see what they were getting as soon asthey landed on our home page and allow them to add things right to the shoppingcart immediately. It is also important that they see just how simple it is toset up our vegetable ladders as soon as they arrive on our page. We areplanning on placing a large 330x330px Flash movie on the home page (look forthis contest shortly on 99 designs).
We also want to highlight that we have a resources page onthe website that offers up great information on how to grow really greattomatoes and other vegetables. So we figured a nice looking display-like ad insteadof a simple button or link might be a better approach to draw attention to thisinner page.
Overall, it is important to us that we maintain our momand pop character, yet try to look professional and respectful to ourcustomers. So, the farmer logo (that we need help with - see details below)should be well positioned and branded accordingly, but we don't want to getgimmicky with it or come across amateurish or trite.
Design Summary & Requirements:
- Provide final website layout in layered PSD file (CS2compatibility); ideally fonts are standard system fonts found on both PC andMac.
- Provide a simple logo based on our "farmer"clipart (see download below) in print quality editable Illustrator or Freehandfile; preferably a color and black & white version. Clipart must be part oflogo, but can be manipulated as desired. Adding some peppers into the basketwould be very ideal. Also add text, Clem's Tomato Ladders, to the logo mark,while making sure font remains editable.
- Design website based on a fixed 980px wide page. Theme shouldbe down home and folksy (see farmer clipart below), country, farm-like;wholesome and clean, open and airy; easy to navigate, focus on products. Wehave provided a wireframe (see download below) for general ideas of content andplacement, however note this is only for suggested placement and we are open toyour ideas.
- Colors: the site should be open and airy, so probably alot of white, but a little light yellow/oranges wouldn't hurt to drive homewarmth. Highlight colors probably should be red and green since that's what youfind with tomatoes and their vines.
Specific site-wide details:
1. Header:
1.1. Need logodesigned based on the attached "farmer" clipart; manipulate asrequired (need to add "Clem's Tomato Ladders")
1.2. Primarynavigation: Products, About, Common Questions, Helpful Links

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – At its first non-conference game in almost a month, the MIT men's soccer team defeated Salve Regina University by a score of 4-1 at home on Wednesday evening. Tech is now 6-3-1 for the season, while the Seahawks dipped to 5-6-1.
Early on in the first half, sophomore goalkeeper Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y.) made a great save when he was shot at point blank by Alexander Hoglund, knocking the ball out of harm's way so senior Andrew Fijan (West Chester, Pa.) could kick it out of play. At 7:51, sophomore Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) pocketed his tenth goal of the season after receiving a pass from classmate Austin Freel (San Diego, Calif.), breaking through defenders in the center of the box and shooting to the left of the net. Keeper Daniel Stern recovered quickly, making an impressive save a few minutes later when he pushed the ball rocketed at him by Freel just over the crossbar.
With eight minutes remaining in the half, the ball landed deep in the Seahawks' box. With each team frantically trying to gain possession, junior Chester Chambers (Columbia, Md.) booted the ball from the near corner of the field, hitting it off the crossbar before it was tipped into the net, notching his first goal of the season.
MIT's 2-0 lead going into the second half did not last long, as the Seahawks got on the board less than 10 minutes into the period. With a strong kick from Stern all the way down at the other end of the field, Alex Wasilewski was able to bring Amereno out of the net far enough to sink the ball into the center of the net. That goal was all Salve Regina needed to turn up the intensity and the game quickly became a lot more aggressive. At the 71 minute mark, Freel had a great run down the middle of the field with Bingham and senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) to either side of him to pull the defenders away. He passed to Monheit, who fired the ball to the right of the net with ease, giving the Engineers their third goal of the night.
With five minutes remaining on the clock, junior Alexander Dago (Chicago, Ill.) scored his first goal of the season, sending a clean, swift shot from near the center of the field that flew over Stern's hands. With less than two minutes left in the game, it looked as if Salve Regina might score its second goal of the game when Zak Bissell fired a high shot well over Amereno's head, but the sophomore keeper was able to punch the shot out of danger. The game ended soon after with an MIT victory.
MIT outshot Salve Regina, 22-9. Stern made eight saves while Amereno, who earned the win and is now 5-1-1 for the season, had to make seven saves. Freel, who tallied two assists during the game, did a great job at distributing the ball and evading defenders. He led the Engineers with his five shots, two of which had to be saved by Stern.
Tech will play in its first away game of the month on Saturday, Oct. 12, traveling to Norton, Mass. to face New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival Wheaton College at 12:00 p.m. The Lyons are currently the only team in the NEWMAC that remain undefeated in conference play.

My host, Dr. John Gordon '85 picked me up in DC at 7:15 in the morning to drive over to Dominion Fertility Clinic in Arlington, VA. He introduced me to the nurses and Dr. DiMattina, who founded the clinic. Early in the morning, I watched Dr. G perform vaginal ultrasounds for several patients. It was really interesting to see how they were at different stages of various treatments: for some patients, Dr. G was looking at the thickening uterus lining and how the ovaries were doing, and for one patient, we could already see 20 follicles in the ovaries from stimulated growth, ready to be collected for IVF. The most fascinating one was being able to see the embryo inside the uterus of one of the patients and hear its heartbeat.
Around 10:00, some patients came in for consultation, which I got to watch Dr. G do in his office. It was insightful for me to learn how Dr. G interacted with the patients. He was frank and reassuring when giving them advice, explaining all the different options that were suitable for each couple's situation, like stimulated vs. natural IVF, frozen embryo transfer vs. using fresh embryos, and the different tests for a couple who wanted to know where they stood in terms of fertility. It was almost overwhelming that there were so many different factors to consider when a couple was deciding on the right procedure for them, like what would be best emotionally, financially, health-wise, etc. I was surprised to learn that the couples who come to the clinic are from different parts of the country, not necessarily all from Virginia, because Dominion Fertility is the only clinic where the percentage of IVFs performed are as high as 70% natural cycle IVF as opposed to stimulated cycle. Since natural cycle produces only one egg and hence one embryo, it makes the successful pregnancy rates seem lower for a clinic, and that's why not many of them are willing to offer the natural. One final procedure that Dr. G performed before lunch was assisting in the collection of an egg. While Dr. G was with the patient, I went into the lab with Dr. Ning and saw the actual collected egg under the microscope, which was amazing. Dr. Ning cleaned the surrounding of the egg and stored it at the optimum temperature and concentration of CO2.
After a quick lunch out, I had some cool conversations with Dr. G about life at Princeton and about how he decided on reproductive endocrinology after having really enjoyed it during his residency.
When we got back, I followed Dr. Ning again and saw the same egg, this time being fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and inserted back into the uterus of the patient.
I really felt what Dr. G meant when he said that there was a sense of gratification and accomplishment, as I went through in my head all the patients that we had seen today: from couples seeking the right treatment to those going through the procedures, to the patient who confirmed her pregnancy and heard her baby's heartbeat, and finally to the couple who brought in their adorable twin babies. It's a really wonderful thing to see both Dr. G and the couple so happy when the treatments bear fruit.
Overall, the day at the clinic was very busy, with constant patient interactions, ultrasounds, phone calls, filing data, and all kinds of procedures. But it was really helpful to get exposure to this kind of work environment and see all the different aspects of a typical day in the clinic.
We started the day early this morning at INOVA Fairfax Hospital, where Dr. G gave a lecture on primary amenorrhea to the hospital's residents and students at GW and VCU. He talked about the questions that a doctor would ask a patient if she had delayed puberty and about the different paths that would be taken in giving her treatment. It was great to see the academic side of things after getting to know the clinical setting yesterday. Dr. G's lecture was really interactive and he asked a lot of questions to engage his students.
After the lecture, we went to the clinic in Arlington. Dr. G had three patients whose eggs were ready for collection, so while he was with his patients, I got to go into the lab again to watch Mark, one of the embryologists, go through the process of storing the collected eggs. He let me look into the microscope and explained to me how a darker cumulus around an egg could be an indication of egg immaturity, how to sterilize a pipette, how it's used to transfer the egg into a medium for storage, how a desiccator is used to create the optimum environment for the eggs, and finally how they're stored. The whole process was really complex and involved so much detail!
Around noon, we drove out to go to INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital, where Dominion Fertility had an office. Dr. G performed ultrasounds for a patient and did some consulting for another patient and her husband about treatments for ovarian cysts. On the drive back, Dr. G and I talked about the difficulty of identifying causes of cysts, especially given all the different types. We had some stimulating discussions about the ethical considerations and medical difficulties in providing cancer and HIV patients with fertility treatments.
Back at the clinic in Arlington, Dr. G had a meeting so I went into the lab to see the eggs that were collected earlier go through the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) process. I found it really fascinating that there was so much dexterity involved in it. Mark and Jerry operated the pipettes with a lot of accuracy and care under the microscope, and I watched each moment a sperm was injected into an egg. It's amazing to think that such a delicate process which provided an alternative solution to so many infertile couples was discovered by accident by a Belgian scientist, as Dr. G had told me earlier.
We started the day off at the Fair Oaks office with some ultrasounds and consulting for patients, and again it was really nice to see a couple who successfully had a baby from a previous treatment come back because they were ready for a second child. Back in Arlington, I got to see some more egg collections and the whole process of storing them in the lab. Then Dr. G went through the usual schedule of consulting, discussing the different treatment methods – from least to most proactive – with each couple.
I learned so much over the course of my three days with Dr. G. I would definitely recommend this Princeternship to other students. It's a really good place to explore your interests if you're looking at medicine as a career. Reproductive endocrinology is a very special field too, and the clinic is a unique, sought-after place where so many different patients go because of the availability of natural cycle IVF which is rarely offered elsewhere. Because of that, you'll get to meet all kinds of patients and see how the doctors and nurses interact with them. Also, Dr. G is outgoing, helpful, and understanding, and on the way to different places, we had really interesting conversations about his experiences at Princeton, career choices, the daily life of doctors, ethical or political issues that they face, and any questions that I might have. I definitely had an inspiring Spring Break, and I'm really grateful to Dr. G and all the staff at Dominion Fertility for this wonderful opportunity.

If you have never rented before, what are some of the reference documents you will have to supply the owner or agent?
This can seem like a bit of a "Catch 22" - if you have not rented before, so you cannot provide a rental history, so you cannot rent, and so on. Don't worry. EVERY tenant has rented for the first time in the past, so the problem is solvable.
A property manager's main concerns when assessing suitability for a property is an applicant's ability to pay the rent and their ability to care for the property in a suitable manner and in accordance with the terms of the lease.
If you have just sold your home, supply the name and contact number of the agent who handled the sale as a reference point. If you have been in student accommodation, supply the name and contact number of the person responsible for the management of the complex. If you have lived with your parents, you will need personal references and you may choose for a parent to sign the lease in addition to you.
Examples of documentation you can provide that will help make these decisions include:

We are proud to announce the return of our popular Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival. Six weeks of outdoor creative writing workshops for young people (ages 7 to 17) will culminate in our 6th annual free outdoor reading. This literary festival will feature NYWC's young writers from the workshops reading alongside six poets who have appeared at the Calabash International Literary Festival and in the anthology So Much Things to Say: Kwame Dawes, Gregory Pardlo, Willie Perdomo, Carl Hancock Rux, Patricia Smith, and Cheryl Boyce Taylor. This exciting event brings several generations of writers together to build on the rich literary traditions of the neighborhoods surrounding the beautiful Fort Greene Park.
The event will take place at the monument in Fort Greene Park.
Mission Statement: Drawing upon the rich and diverse literary history of Fort Greene Park and its surrounding neighborhoods, The Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival provides a means for self-expression and creativity for area young people, and builds community through arts and literature. The Lit Fest consists of a six-week series of free Saturday creative writing workshops for young people and an end-of-summer reading featuring literary icons reading alongside our young writers. The Lit Fest honors the power of the written word to build inclusiveness and give voice to the thoughts and experiences of everyone, not just the privileged and powerful.
The Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival is presented by NY Writers Coalition, Akashic Books, GTHQ, and the Fort Greene Park Conservancy, with additional support from Greenlight Bookstore and The Walt Whitman Project.

Civil Legal Documents
This article originally appeared in "Colonial Spanish Borderland Research" by George R. Ryskamp, JD, AG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Notarial Records
As the Spanish colonies moved beyond the initial frontier stage, legal documents were recorded by escribanos, or notaries. A summary of the kind of document that would appear in a notary archive indicates a wealth of information for the family historian: wills, adoptions, emancipations, sales of rural and urban land, construction of buildings, proof of purity of blood, nobility records, transfers of titles, dowries, rescue of captives, sales of slaves, marriage contracts, sales of cloth, sales of horses, printing of books, apprenticeship records, contracts with professionals, land titles, executions, inventories of decedents' estates, guardianship estates, mining claims, powers of attorney, and many others.
Petitions or lawsuits filed as part of the governmental apparatus frequently appear in collections of civil legal documents retained in colonial archives. In some cases, these were lawsuits in the sense that they involved a dispute between two civil parties. In others, they were petitions requesting governmental approval or the granting of privileges, somewhat similar to probate or guardianship petitions in today's courts. Generally, those labeled petición were of the type requesting governmental service or approval. A demanda was a claim'usually against a third party'relating to a contract or other dispute, the initial document in a litigation action. Similarly, a diligencia represents the final order or response of the responsible person to one of the above.
