Exclusive: Interview With New Ohio State Coach Nick Myers
Nick Myers interviewed to be the head men's coach at Ohio State on Thursday. He had the job by the end of the day. Find out more about Myers, what he said and did to get the job and what his plans are for the program, after the jump.
Ohio State Names Nick Myers as Head Coach
Ohio State has promoted assistant coach Nick Myers to be its new head coach, the school announced on Thursday. Myers, who turns 29 this month, takes over the job vacated after Joe Breschi left to become the coach at North Carolina in mid-June.
Myers was a popular choice among the team's parents and was the option that Breschi said he hoped the school would take. Myers has spent the past three seasons as the program's top assistant.
The other finalists were Dartmouth coach Bill Wilson, Colgate coach Jim Nagle and Navy assistant Stan Ross. It is believed Wilson interviewed on Monday, Nagle on Tuesday, Ross on Wednesday and Myers on Thursday. Earlier this week, a source familiar with the situation said Ohio State wanted to make a decision quickly after the interviews; the source also said the school had a preference for a coach with a familiarity with the Midwest.
Swezey: Random Stick Check
The Navy football team had a slogan a couple years back: "Little Things Make Big Things Happen." It was a reference to the team's lack of size. At least half the players were so small that their pregame meal came with a toy.
Anyway, that team won eight games, the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and defeated Colorado State in a bowl game. Big things happened.
The Navy lacrosse team also made big things happen this spring, albeit unwittingly. Its 8-7 victory over North Carolina in an NCAA tournament first-round game set in motion the following: UNC fired coach John Haus. Joe Breschi was lured away from Ohio State to take Haus's job.
And now OSU has four candidates to replace Breschi. Jim Nagle (Colgate) and Bill Wilson (Dartmouth) are current head coaches; Stan Ross (Navy) and Nick Myers (OSU) are top assistants. A hire of anyone other than Myers will set in motion another set of coaching moves.
But what if UNC had beaten Navy?
Breschi Talks About UNC, Leaving Ohio State
The most talked-about person in lacrosse this off-season had not been doing much talking himself. But in his first public comments since he took the head coaching job at North Carolina on June 19, Joe Breschi said that coaching North Carolina was the only job for which he would have left Ohio State.
Breschi, a 1990 North Carolina graduate, had spent the past 11 years as head coach at Ohio State. He led the Buckeyes to an historic season in 2008; it included a victory over the Tar Heels and the first NCAA tournament win in program history.
IL interviewed Breschi for a story that will run in its August issue. Some of the excerpts are after the jump.
Breaking: UNC Coaching Update
The North Carolina coaching search has taken several turns. One high-profile candidate has taken himself out of the running but there are conflicting reports about two others.

It's time for the garden to wake up
11:43am Saturday 14th January 2012 in Gardening By Gina Parkinson
GINA PARKINSON is cheered by the hellebores that are beginning to open.
THE January clear-up is revealing how quickly the garden is coming to life. Although the start of the year is all short days, cold weather, post-Christmas lassitude and a long wait until pay day, the first couple of months are, for gardeners, an optimistic time.
Bulbs begin to pop through the soil, the first of the early flowers open and our heads fill with plans for our plots.
In our garden, the hellebores are beginning to open, the first being Hellebrous foetidus. What a 'good doer' this is with evergreen leaves and stems of pale green flowers in January and February.
The deeply cut leaves remain attractive for most of the year. The oldest can be cut away from the plant as they become tatty, but by then there are usually one or two fresh ones hiding beneath and ready to grow up to fill the space.
Flower stems begin to form in late autumn or early winter and by Christmas the buds are greening up, providing a nice contrast to the leaves. Then suddenly they are in flower, a very welcome sight in mid- January when most other plants are still dormant.
While Helleborus foetidus is well on with its growth, a near relative, Helleborus orientalis, sometimes labelled Helleborus x hybridus, is only just beginning to show above the ground.
Like its relation, this hellebore is also evergreen, its dark leathery leaves surviving heat and cold, clumping up over the summer when the flowers have faded.
As soon as I spot the flower shoots emerging in January, I cut back all the leaves as they can be prone to damage by leaf spot or botrytis.
A severe attack will see it spread to the flowers and eventually to the new leaves, spoiling the appearance of the plant and weakening its growth.
There is a thought that this annual removal of the foliage weakens the growth of the plant, but I haven't found this to be so. The leaves are in place for a good nine months, which should be plenty of time to feed the roots and support the development of the following year's crop of flowers.
While attending to the hellebores, it is also a good time to put down a thick mulch of garden compost or spent mushroom compost.
This is generally an undemanding family of plants needing little feeding, but they seem to appreciate mulching at the beginning of the year.
In the veg patch
THE garlic we planted in the vegetable garden last October is starting to come through, pointed green shoots slowly beginning to form orderly lines across the area. The dry spring last year gave us a poor crop, so this time we prepared the soil with plenty of compost and planted the cloves slightly deeper than usual. In a clear spell, it is a good time to start digging over the vegetable garden, preparing the soil for the work it will soon be doing. Like the rest of the garden weeds will abound so they can be removed before the soil is turned over.
Our soil is very sandy so at any opportunity I add barrowloads of garden compost in an effort to give it substance, but if yours is heavy with clay you may want to miss the digging for a while, since it is almost impossible when the earth is wet. However this doesn't let you off the weeding.
Weekend catch-up
DESPITE the earliness of the year, weeds will already be growing away, taking advantage of the gaps in the vegetable and flower beds and nice warm conditions under a blanket of autumn leaves.
It is a good time to get rid of them before they start to flower and spread themselves about.
They will be easy to pull up from the damp winter soil, as long as there hasn't been a frost, and the relative bareness of the beds makes it easier to get to them.

ISU Central Campus, Strasbourg
5th – 7th March 2013
ISU's next symposium, the seventeenth in a series, will address 'Tele-reach' where we use this term to refer to technologies and applications which allow remote presence, participation, interaction or control. The emphasis here will be placed on exploring the role that space can play in broadening and sustaining the 'reach' of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems to benefit humankind in areas such as education, healthcare and environmental management. Looking beyond the socio-economic benefits here on Earth we will widen the scope to include fields such as tele-presence and tele-operation of remote equipment both on Earth and in space.
Six half-day sessions, all held in plenary, will address:
1. Tele-Reach Needs, Current Provisions and Future Plans
2. Tele-Education
Wed. 6th March:
3. Tele-Health
4. Tele-Reach and the Environment
Thurs. 7th March:
5. Political, Economic, Legal and Ethical Challenges
6. Other Applications of Tele-Reach on Earth and in Orbit
At the end of each session a Panel Discussion will provide further opportunities for questions and for interactions by participants. A Poster Session will be held on the first evening in conjunction with the Symposium Reception and posters will then be displayed prominently throughout the following two days.

This archived news post was originally written by SuitCase on October 19, 2011.
Yes, 95% of our readers, it's time for a news update that won't concern you. But if you're in Australia — or better yet, in Brisbane, Australia — then you may be interested to know that we are going to have a stall in Supanova's artists' alley.
This is the same comic convention we did in July in Sydney, but in Brisbane.
We're going a bit out of our way to get there, and will be packing a heavy suitcase full of books and other trinkets, but in our experience basically every Australian reader of BCB seems to reside in Queensland so we're hoping we can meet a bunch of new people!
Check out the Supanova website for information on how to buy tickets to attend. Seems like it's about $24 a day, which seems remarkably cheap to us!
We should be able to bring along some updated merchandise not yet in the store, as well as a minor new item and possibly an UTTERLY AMAZING totally cool new item on par with the book. We hope. You Brisbanians would be the first to get it!
In other news: We're oh-so-close to 600 books. We're so happy with the way the books have been selling, and hope the goal can be met right before the beginning of the Christmas season!

Heterologous gene expression is a process to express a gene in a non-native host. The goal of my Ph. D. study is to improve heterologous gene expression level by redesigning nucleotide sequence.
Given an amino acid sequence, selection for translation efficiency has shaped up a non-random alphabetic spelling of a nucleotide sequence. For example, highly expressed genes only prefer a small subset of synonymous codons in their coding sequences. And interestingly, the codon preference varies from genome to genome. The variation in coding strategies across genomes may cause difficulty in expressing a foreign gene that is not adapted to the host. We may overcome this problem by matching up the pattern of a gene of interest to that of naturally highly expressed genes in the host. In other words, we may redesign the nucleotide sequence of a foreign gene to make it adapt to the host background. My research proposes to develop software to facilitate this redesign process.

HIWANI, India – Ranbeer Singh breaks into a proud smile the moment an image of India's Olympic boxing medal hopeful Vijender Singh pops up on the computer screen before him.
"Vijender is the son of our soil, we're all with him," the former army man says about the Asian Games gold medallist whose progress in the London Olympics is being passionately followed in his hometown Bhiwani.
Vijender is one of eight Indian boxers participating in the Games, and with five of them hailing from villages in and around Bhiwani, a small, nondescript town in the northern state of Haryana, local interest is running high.
To help villagers follow their heroes and overcome a lack of online access, a specially re-fitted "Internet Bus" is roaming remote areas of northern India during the London Games, offering computers, live streaming and archived event feeds.
"Our boxers have struggled so much to make it so far. The least we can do is show our love and support for them," the 43-year-old Singh told AFP.
Singh, new to computers, is helped by a team of volunteers who teach him how to navigate the Olympic website, listen to interviews with his favourite sportspersons or check out the highlights from the previous day.
"Our boxers have made the entire nation proud. We are going to cheer for them in every bout," said Ankit Kumar, a 21-year-old architecture student as he waited to board the bus.
Kumar was also keenly following sports like badminton and wrestling where he thinks India has a chance of making a mark.
Nine-year-old Chandan Yadav, dressed in his white and sky-blue school uniform, joined in the conversation as he took his place in the queue.
"I want to be on TV and become famous," he said proudly. "I want to become a big and powerful boxer who can beat anyone at the Olympics."
India, where cricket reigns supreme on the sporting stage, remains an Olympic minnow despite its vast 1.2 billion population.
So habituated had the country become to Olympic failure, that its meagre haul of one gold and two bronzes in Beijing in 2008 was hailed as a major breakthrough and triggered nationwide celebrations.
Two years later, India performed well in the Commonwealth Games hosted in New Delhi, finishing second in the medals table below Australia.
The improved performances by Indian athletes saw a number of private firms step in to fund some selected individuals' training, and the government announced big incentives for winning medals at the top level.
"We felt it was time India cheered for their athletes," said Nikhil Rungta, the country marketing head of Google India, which launched the "Internet Bus" tour to spread awareness about the Games to villages and towns.
"We wanted every Indian to know their Olympic athletes and celebrate these champions," Rungta said.

A really great fundraiser - easy and fun to do. "Y-Ties" are a pretty amazing product - very practical for kids... you just pull them and they stay tied and tight! I took in over $1,000 in 3 days! I highly recommend this program to other teachers as a fundraiser and also as a good safe product for kids.
We sold "Y-Ties" for two weeks and cleared $1,900! This was an easy fundraiser with minimal work. "Y-Ties" really do work, I've been wearing them in my tennis shoes and actually prefer them to regular laces! Go for it!
Selling "Y-Ties" was a fantastic fundraiser for my PE department. As fundraisers go, this was as good as it gets! "Y-Ties" practically sell themselves. Both parents and kids feel they got something cool and useful for their money that was not consumed in a short time. Thanks again for everything, and I'm looking forward to selling them again next fall!

Get Active! In 2011 and 2012 we developed information about physical activity and exercise in our Activity of the Month feature. We have repackaged this into fact sheets about seven different forms of physical activity suitable for people with RMDs and a page of expert advice. All these items will also be available as design templates in the Tools for You.
'Living Better, Ageing Well' features. We are planning a series of features to cover a range of aspects affecting people with RMDs as they grow up and older. The first feature is about Healthy Living and will cover topics such as Good Nutrition, Lifestyle Choices, and Emotional Wellbeing.
Watch this space - exciting competition launching on 12 October - World Arthritis Day 2013.
Please enter details of any events or campaigns you are holding. Click onto the Events Map to view what others did last year. You can post the results of your 2012 campaign or upload details of your 2013 events.
If you are a regular user of this site you will notice some changes. We have renamed the tabs at the top of the page. 'Tools for You' is where you will find information for individuals, design templates for local adaption and translation and toolkits for organisations and campaigners. In the next month we will be completely redesigning these pages to make it easier for you to browse and find information and resources.
Below are some highlights from our 2012 'Move to Improve' and 'Waving for World Arthritis Day' campaigns. If you have any photos and details of your WAD campaigns, please share them on the Events page.

- n. The mineral residue of incinerated organic matter, used as an additive in pet foods.
- n. Ruins: the ashes of a lost culture.
- n. Bodily remains, especially after cremation or decay.
- v. To reduce or convert to ash: ash a tissue sample for analysis.
- n. Any of various chiefly deciduous ornamental or timber trees of the genus Fraxinus, having opposite, pinnately compound leaves, clusters of small flowers, and one-seeded winged fruits.
- n. The strong, elastic wood of this tree, used for furniture, tool handles, and sporting goods such as baseball bats.
- n. Linguistics The letter æ in Old English and some modern phonetic alphabets, representing the vowel sound of Modern English ash.
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. In botany: The popular name of trees belonging to the genus Fraxinus (which see). The common ash of Europe, F. excelsior, is native through the greater part of Europe, northern Africa, and some parts of Asia. It is a handsome ornamental tree, and is exceedingly valuable for its timber, which is close-grained and remarkably tongh and elastic. It was therefore in early times the chief material in the construction of bows and spears, and is now largely used wherever these qualities are needed. In its younger state the tree is called ground-ash, and a variety is well known in cultivation as weeping-ash. The flowering ash, F. Ornus, is a small tree of southern Europe, sometimes cultivated for ornament. It yields a saccharine exudation, which forms the best known and most important of the various kinds of manna. In the United States several species of the genus are commonly known under the name, as the black ash, ground-ash, or hoop-ash, F. sambucifolia; the blue ash, F. quadrangulata; the green ash, F. viridis; the red ash, F. pubescens; the water-ash, F. platycarpa; and the white ash, F. Americana. The last is the most valuable; its wood closely resembles that of the European ash, and is used for similar purposes.
- n. The name (with some adjunct) of various trees or shrubs of other genera, generally from some resemblance in foliage or qualities of the wood to the common ash. (See below.) Also, in parts of England, the name of some herbaceous plants, chiefly umbelliferous, as the ground-ash, or ashweed, Ægopodium Podagraria and Angelica sylvestris, and the sweet ash, Anthriscus sylvestris.
- n. The wood of the ash-tree; hence, something made of ash, as the shaft of a lance or spear.
- Pertaining to or like the ash; made of ash.
- n. What remains of a body that is burned; the incombustible residue of organic substances (animal or vegetable) remaining after combustion; in common usage, any incombustible residue of materials used as fuel: usually in the plural. As a commercial term, the word generally means the ashes of vegetable substances, from which are extracted the alkaline matters called potash, pearlash, kelp, barilla, etc.
- n. Fine material thrown out of a volcano in eruption. It is not, like ordinary ashes, a residuum of the combustion of a substance containing carbonaceous mingled with inorganic matter, but is finely pulverized lava, derived in part from the actual tearing asunder of the not fully consolidated material by the expansive force of the gases which it contains, and in part from mechanical pulverization by friction in the chimney of the volcano. Larger particles are called
capilli ; coherent masses of still larger size, scoriœ, cinders, and bombs. If the erupted ashes fall into water, they assume a stratified form. Rocks of this character have been calledigneo-aqueous and pluto-neptunian. See lava, volcano, and tuff. - n. plural The remains of the human body when burned; hence, a dead body or corpse; mortal remains.
- To strew or sprinkle with ashes.
- To convert into ashes.
- n. In Australia, the name of various trees having a real or fancied resemblance to those of the genus Fraxinus, especially of trees of the genera Elæocarpus and Flindersia.

- n. A small Australian tree, Elæodendrum australe, whose close-grained pinkish wood is used for staves, oars, and shingles. Also called olive-wood.
- n. The green ash, Fraxinus lanceolata.
- n. The involatile constituents of wine; the solid residue evaporated to dryness.
- n. countable, uncountable A shade tree of the genus Fraxinus.
- n. uncountable The wood of this tree.
- n. The traditional name for the ae ligature (æ), as used in Old English.
- n. The solid remains of a fire.
- n. chemistry The nonaqueous remains of a material subjected to any complete oxidation process.
- n. Fine particles from a volcano, volcanic ash.
- n. in the plural Human (or animal) remains after cremation.
- n. figuratively What remains after a catastrophe.
- v. chemistry To reduce to a residue of ash. See ashing.
- v. To hit the end off of a burning cigar or cigarette.
- v. obsolete To cover newly-sown fields of crops with ashes.
GNU Webster's 1913
- n. (Bot.) A genus of trees of the Olive family, having opposite pinnate leaves, many of the species furnishing valuable timber, as the European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and the white ash (Fraxinus Americana).
- n. The tough, elastic wood of the ash tree.
- n. sing. of ashes.

"Comparisons: The white ash is apt to be confused with the _black ash_"
"So I told her how the ash would grow _anywhere_ -- even at the seaside, where all trees lean from the sea -- _except the ash_."
"The Watchdog says the word "ash borer" reminds him of his flea problem."
"And this ash is the thing, which to my mind, connotes Korea today, not necessarily the hills."
"The final result is, however, inevitable, and always the same, viz., the oxidation and escape of the organic mutter, and the concentration of the inorganic matter woven into its composition -- in it, but not of it -- forming what we call the ash of the plant."
"Many airports were shut and flights were grounded across the United Kingdom on Thursday because of ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland, airport authorities said."
"The air is full of swirling dust and soon there will be ash from the Spring Burning."
"We still don't have a good way of producing electricity from fusion, and there are still serious R&D issues with clearing the helium ash from the plasma."
"It reminded me of this really old children's story, "Hitty: Her First 100 Years" about a little doll carved of mountain ash wood, and no matter what happened to her, she always reminded herself what she was made of, and where she came from."
"Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images Paramedics helped a villager who was covered in ash after the eruption of Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano Tuesday."

- 'Is This the Best Choice for George?' wonders James Poniewozik at Time: "It depends on what he wants, of course. If the idea is to burnish his credentials for, say, the evening-news anchor chair down the line, it could be, despite--no, precisely because of--the fact that GMA covers fluffier stuff than This Week on Sundays. After all, an anchor these days has to show range, and Katie, Charlie and Diane--not to mention Tom Brokaw--all came from the morning."
- Good Morning America Is a Downgrade, writes James Joyner at Outside the Beltway: "From where I sit, Stephanopoulous has the much sweeter gig. He doesn't," for example, "have to get up at the crack of dawn every day and he's got the only Sunday show worth watching, getting to talk about whatever he wants to before an audience of opinion leaders." So he thinks Stephanopoulos should pass: "aside from going from a millionaire to a multi-millionaire, why would you give that up to do chit-chat, tomfoolery, and salacious crap to entertain people who have you on as background noise while they're getting ready for work?"
- He'll Have to Leave Washington, notes Chris Rovzar at New York Magazine:"Stephanopoulos has lived and been a player
in Washington, D.C., for over a decade, since he arrived there
alongside Bill Clinton as a campaign staffer in 1992. A former
communications director for Clinton, Stephanopoulos has long been near
the heart of media and politics, and his desire to keep at least his
toes in the thick of it through The Week could reflect
reluctance to leave Washington as a whole. With his two daughters
settled there, there may be a significant amount of inertia keeping him
in place."
- The Position Isn't Even Relevant Anymore, adds James Joyner: "While I find the morning shows, save for C-SPAN's 'Washington Journal,' insipid, they're not only tremendously popular but the primary launch pad for the nightly news anchors. Then again, the latter job is a relic of a bygone age."
- Don't Leave Diane! begs Dan Riehl, revealing his awkward infatuation with Diane Sawyer, the 63-year-old morning host who's leaving GMA to host World News: "Okay, I confess. ABC's GMA emailed me once about some blog posts of mine. I told them they could have anything they wanted for a signed photograph of Diane Sawyer in a cashmere sweater from back in the day. heh! I don't watch it, but I don't see Georgie bringing the same things to it Diane did so wonderfully for so long."

» Review: Brighton Festival -The Owl and The Pussycat
Hiccup Theatre's The Owl and the Pussycat was a great load of lovely quince, mince and runcible spoon nonsense. Owl and Cat made their way through this enchanting performance (based on Edward Lear's poem), with imagination, and inventiveness; Their pea green boat was a fallen step ladder, then an up-ended umbrella; leaves plucked from the colourful set turned into boats and bees, woods and trees. Claire Harvey (Cat) and Simon Kerrigan (Owl) gave accomplished, humorous, and touching performances, accompanied by composer Ivan Stott who wove singing narrations and plucking instruments from a tree. John Barber (puppet maker) surpassed himself with the pig and turkey. Pig danced around the bong tree, watering his umbrella flowers and making jokes with Ivan's hand up his back the whole time… but nobody seemed to notice. The audience sat wide-eyed with mouths open, drinking in the magic.
P.S. my mum told me a runcible spoon was a double-headed devise from which you could eat cheek to cheek.
8 May, Sallis Benney Theatre

People with high blood cholesterol levelsare very exposed to developing heart disease. High cholesterol levels are common to people with ages over 50, people with weight problems, people with gastro-intestinal disorders and people with diabetes. High blood cholesterol levels can be the result of either overproduction of the substance (due to liver dysfunctions) or the inability of the body to eliminate it. However, apart from physiological factors that enable the accumulation of cholesterol inside the organism, there are also many other external factors that contribute to cholesterol build up: inappropriate diet, sedentary lifestyle, smoking and alcohol abuse.
Lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels is actually among the primary concerns of those individuals who are very conscious about their health. At present, more and more people are starting to realize the essence of leading a healthy lifestyle, which is a big must if you would actually want to survive longer in this competitive world.
HDL or the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is commonly known as the good cholesterol. Why is it considered good? It is a good cholesterol mainly for the fact that it contradicts the adverse effects of the bad cholesterol. Thus, the higher the level of your bad cholesterol, the higher the level your HDL cholesterol needs to have in order for it to work effectively against the bad cholesterol.
A cholesterol test can be such a useful tool in your fight against heart disease, it is a wonder more people don't really know how to make sense of one. If you are anxious for a way to predict and prevent a heart attack, your best bet would be a cholesterol test. Cholesterol is a sticky and waxy material that coats the interior of your blood vessels and keeps blood from flowing smoothly along your system. When you go in for a doctor's visit and he tells you that you need to take your cholesterol control plan a little more seriously, pretty often, the advice can go in the one ear and out the other. It's something we're so used to hearing doctors say, that we barely hear it anymore.
Most people know the word"cholesterol". Many of us know that it is a waxy substance among the fats found in the arteries. Cholesterol is crucial in the formation of cell membranes and other tissues. But if the cholesterol level is high, it might lead to a stroke. A high cholesterol level is one of the main risk factorsof heart diseases. Sustaining a healthy diet and enough exercise can lower the cholesterol level. Eating cholesterol free foods leads to a healthy life.
Eating too much saturated fat and cholesterol can raise your cholesterol. Saturated fat and cholesterol are in foods that come from animals (such as beef, pork, veal, milk, eggs, butter, and cheese), many packaged foods, stick margarine, vegetable shortening, and snack foods like cookies, crackers, and chips.
The risk of developing heart disease and diabetes are significantly increased when your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are elevated. So understanding your cholesterol and triglyceride numbers are important in your fight to live a long and healthy life.
Insulin pen, or simply pen, is an insulin delivery system that allows the injection of insulin into the bloodstream of a diabetic. It comprises of an insulin cartridge, a pen needle, and a dial to measure the insulin dose. Its appearance is similar to that of a pen, only it is larger. Some of these parts are either disposable or non-replaceable. The insulin cartridge for one may need a replacement from time to time and the insulin needles are entirely disposable.
When you think of deadly illnesses, diabete is most likely not what comes to mind. Don't feel bad, you are not the only one who thinks that heart disease and cancer the top contenders. Most people do not look at diabete as a threat as there is medication for it. It is sad to see that most people do not understand what diabetes is all about. You cannot just take it for granted that the medicine is going to fix it all.
Many people understand that diabetes is a dangerous condition. But few people know about diabetes enough to understand what to do to prevent the disease. In fact, what most people don't know about diabetes is that there are two kinds. Type 1 is a disease generally found in childhood and is the more serious of the two. Type 2 diabetes is also called onset diabetes, meaning that it develops in older age, rather than emerge in childhood. Another way to consider this is that Type 1 is pretty indiscriminate, while Type 2 diabetics usually fall victim to a number of risk factors. Had many of them followed certain preventative plans, they might have avoided it altogether. Learning about diabetes risk factors is crucial to a healthier life.
Sugar is often considered a bane in the diet of diabetics simply because this can cause blood glucose levels to rise. But, since sugar is a natural component of the typical diet, and many people want their cake and eat them too, people just can't do without it. The good thing is sugar substitutes were invented.
There has been a long standing debate whether diabetics could eat chocolates. Maybe there should really be chocolate-related recipes for diabetics. We have to remember that these patients may have been eating chocolates for years before they were diagnosed with the illness and thus might find it quite depriving to say no to chocolates all the time. Some, on the other hand, may simply want to get a bite or two but couldn't because of this myth.
The disease diabetes in the United States has reached almost epidemic levels in the past 40 years. Our diets, our lack of physical activity, and food additives have made the US populace into a breeding ground for the disease.

I'm donating 10 to the March of Dummies!
If you're not my friend already and are interested in sending me an invite, then go ahead. I don't decline friend invites unless I already know you and don't like you. Thankfully that hasn't happened yet, and i've made a bunch of cool friends off here.
As far as commenting goes, please leave as many as you like. I mainly only read em off the last 3 blogs on my page, but sometimes will go back to older blogs and look. I also love to leave comments on peoples pages myself. I do have alot of friends here, so I normally give priority to those who frequently comment on my stuff.
About me personally, i've been a hardcore gamer who has been playing since the age of 5. Im pretty much open to all genres of gaming, but in generally not too much into sports and puzzle games. I will however play em if I like em. Im also into classic gaming from all eras. Its not at all uncommon for me to start talking about a 15 year old game like it was still new. The way I see it is that good graphics DO NOT make a good game. Good graphics are nice yes, and they can be important in some cases, but in the end its the fun that matters. So to me it doesnt matter if a game came out in 1987, or 2007, if its good, its good. Got it? Good!
Im also a big fan of budget games, and low key games that often get little to no coverage from the mainstream gaming sources like EGM, Gamepro and so on. Many people often pass over games which do not have a big-name like Resident Evil, or Final Fantasy attached to them. They dismiss them as junk and wont even give them a chance. To justify their stupidity, they bring up the fact that alot of these budget titles are junk. To them I say that alot of big-name titles from big software developers are junk too. And when it comes to the big magazines and websites, they usually throw reviews to these games to the back, and often barely play the game before reviewing it. I found this to be true on numerous budget titles including Ford Racing 3, Blade and Sword, and Super Bubble Pop. So if you're into some of these underdog titles like the ones mention, or stuff like Raze's Hell, or the Choro Q series, then send me an invite.
Finally I would just like to mention that i've gone under the name Guile176 on various sites in the past. So if you recall that name, please comment and say hello.
XBox Live Wall of Shame
Skycaptin5: Cried during a ranked match in Soul Calibur 4 that I wouldn't let him win so he could get experience. After I beat him he gave me negative feedback for Trash Talking because I told him I wasn't about to let him win a ranked match and that he should practice.
hh46damsan: I have played him a few times in Carcassonne and he quit each time I was beating him.
Scoobroid: Quit early in Cacassonne because I was beating him. I gave him negative feedback for doing so and he gave me the same negative feedback as revenge.
Kyp Durron: Another Carcassonne quitter who likes to give revenge rates. Hmm, are we seeing a pattern here with these sore losers?
Stuckie: You guessed it, a Carcassonne quitter who likes to quit during ranking matches he's losing.
TWIZTIDWHITEY: Oh yeah baby, another quitter :P
z snake eyes: Loser who quit early then gave me negative feedback when I was winning a game of Carcasonne.
PS3 Wall of Shame
BOS_hpl_SadosSan: Kept killing team members during an online ranked match in Haze. Do not play with this worthless loser in any game.
I've Sunk To A New Collection Low
Posted: October 05, 2012Yes people, a new low. Can you figure out why based off this picture? Yup, you guessed it, I own a Hannah Montana game :) Why do I own one? Well you see, a friend of mine bought the game due to it having an easy Platinum trophy. So once he got the Plat, he offered to sell the game to me. At first he wanted $5 but I refused, so he lowered his offer to $2. I agreed since I need a trophy boost myself. You see, im about to hit 100,000 gamerscore on my 360, but my friend is currently ahead of me in trophy count on PS3. Since he really only cares about trophies in PS3 games, I figured it would be a fun way to mess with him if I went after his trophy level. Anyway, I haven't played the game yet so I can't comment on its quality. However im expecting it to be shitty. If anything it can't be worse then Macross M3 on the Dreamcast which I consider to be one of the worst games of my collection. Also that is a Vita game in the pic. No I don't own a Vita yet, but my friend also sold me the game for $10. I plan on getting a Vita once a price drop hits (or at least by tax time) so its one game to play on it when I get one.
Finally I got several new 360 games since my last blog. The two 2K games I got for free. My job gave me a $25 pre-paid American Express card for being there for 5 years. Unfortunately its use was limited to mostly a bunch of places i've never heard of. So I checked out Kohls.com since they've had a decent game selection in the past. I couldn't afford much, but managed to grab those 2 and keep within the limit of the card.
Lots of New Additions to the Family
Posted: July 31, 2012As you may know I took about a 2 week vacation which ends this Thorsday In this time i've gotten numerous new additions to my gaming family. Several of which came dirt cheap from Best Buy during the amazing sale they had last week. If you didn't hear about it, games such as XMen Destiny, Deus EX Human Revolution (which I forgot to add to the pic), and Red Faction Armageddon were going for $10 each. A friend picked me up a few and my dad also grabbed me a few as a birthday gift. Kingdoms of Amalur while not part of the sale I snagged new for only $10. Best Buy was selling it for $40 but had a coupon for $30 off in their Gamer mag. The rest of the stuff I got pretty cheap through both Amazon, and Overstock.
The Atari Jaguar you see here I got for free along with all the games for it. My nephew offered to give it to me as long as I paid the shipping. Well it took him 3 years to go in his attic and look for it, but he finally did it and I didn't have to pay a dime of shipping since my parents recently went back to Massachusetts last week. The only downside to it is that he was unable to find the 2 controllers he used to have. I'll have to track down a couple on EBay or Amazon once I get some more cash. I also have to find an s-video or composite wire for it as the standard RF it came with is useless. Yes it works on my TV, but the image is so dark you can barely see anything. After doing a little searching, I found the s-video wires for the Jag are a bit pricey so I may pay a friend to make me one as I found a neat little tutorial on it online and he thinks he can pull it off.
Special thanks to DaMan001 for helping me finish off Phantasy Star Universe's remaining achievements!
Vacation Time :)
Posted: July 21, 2012Yup its been ages since I last posted here. Nothing really too new to report aside from the usual game grabs, and the fact that im now on vacation for almost 2 weeks. Nope im not going anywhere at all. Im just staying home gaming and nothing more. As an added bonus I have the house to myself until the end of the month. So yup its just me and my cat.
Since my last blog i've gotten a few new games here and there such as The Black Eyed Peas on 360, as well as Alpha Protocal, Mindjack, Front Mission Evolved, Venetica and a few others. I also snagged a used copy of SF X Tekken on PS3 last month and currectly have the collectors edition version for 360 coming in the mail next week. I snagged that dirt cheap online for about $35 so I had little issue buying it new. Other stuff im expecting in the mail is a new copy of Band Hero on 360 which I scored off Amazon new for $6 and well as Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 on 360 new for $10 I also snagged a few goodies that I found really cheap off of Overstock such as Splinter Cell Collection for PS3, and LOTR War of the North, Thor, Alice, NN Nights 2, and Otemedius Exellant for 360. Oh yeah I also grabbed the 3DS version of Sonic Generations off them for around $26 as well. Im likely not gonna be getting anything new for a few weeks aside from a PS Plus renewal next week and possibly a months subscription to Phantasy Star Universe before its taken offline.
Anyway, whats everyone else been up to?

More than three decades old, the non-profit Boys Hope Girls Hope foundation has homes for adolescents in need throughout the country, the New Orleans area included, and on Saturday 12 May, the second annual "Hope On Deck" fundraiser event was held at the St. Joseph Center on Gravier Street in New Orleans.
Emma McCreight was the event co-chair, and she explained both the organization and the event.
"The organization provides children in need with a stable home, positive parenting, academic opportunities, and the support needed to reach their full potential. In addition to the governing board, in 2011 a Junior Board consisting of 30 young professionals was formed to offer mentoring to scholars, raising awareness of the organization and fund raise. Hope on Deck is the Junior Board's 2nd annual event that allows the Junior Board to fulfill it's mission," she said.
Below, some members of the junior board pose. From left-to-right are Mary Dale, Jessica Sita, James Ryan, Danielle Sybrant, Emma McCreight, and Bri Altier.
"I became introduced to Boys Hope Girls Hope when I moved to New Orleans a few years ago," McCreight continued, "and after learning about the mission of this organization, I wanted to do more. I have volunteered since I was in grade school, but usually with adults, so when I was saw that BHGH needed some young professionals more involved with the organization, I jumped on the opportunity to serve on the new Junior Board."
Below, McCreight poses again, this time with, from left-to-right, Kelly Allenspack, director of development Jessica Sita, events chair, and Rachel Nuna, junior board president.
"Serving on the Board has opened my eyes even more to the scholars that participate with BHGH," McCreight continued. "It is a humbling and beautiful experience to witness children from 8-18 years of age come together at their dinner table, do homework, or participate in an event as a true family. Not only do the scholars have staff and volunteers who look out for them, but they look out for each other. Knowing and seeing first hand how our time and donations truly support the scholars, motivates me to continue to help plan events such as Hope on Deck!"
Below, Sita, who works during the day at Dominican High School, pays a visit to her fellow volunteers, these working at the raffle table.
The St. Joseph Center is behind the large St. Joseph Catholic Church on Tulane Avenue.
Below is seen, again, the raffle table.
Three friends pose below, as someone signs up at the raffle table at the left.
McKeown makes jewelry as a hobby, and donated some of her jewelry as part of the raffle, which she said is the first time she shows off her jewelry.
"They said, 'we'll get donors,' and I said, 'I'll be happy to donate my jewelry,'" McKeown said of the process that led her to donate her jewelry for the event.
More information can be learned about the New Orleans chapter of Boys Hope Girls Hope at its website.

Hey guys! I'm here today with a fun way to embellish a simple skirt-courtesy of Crafterhours' Skirt Week! Have you seen the skirt fun over there yet? Make sure to check it out...there's some great stuff...and get your skirt entered, too! I get to be a judge again this year-it's so hard since there are so many great skirts to choose from!
So, I thought and thought about what to do for my post...and then decided to embellish it simply with the ever-so-hot-right-now-chevron...or arrowhead as I re-named it. (watch out guys...I'm changing the trend name...it's gonna catch on now....am I right? *chirp chirp*) K, maybe not. But still cute, no?
I used Verona fabric in teal dots from my sponsor Ribbon Retreat...and without further ado (since it's getting late)...I give you the arrowhead skirt!
First I made your basic elastic waist skirt. Cut a panel of fabric from selvage to selvage (usually 42-44" wide) to the length I wanted. (for Sadie who's just going into 3T, I cut it to be 13-14" I think)
Then sew the sides together, serge the bottom and top, (or fold over twice) and iron down the top of the skirt (making sure the elastic will fit in the casing you're going to sew). Also hem the bottom of the skirt.
Then I made an arrowhead pattern til I liked the shape I had.
I cut out two arrowheads out of fabric-so that I could layer it so no fabric would show through the white...plus it looked cool!
Then I positioned them how I liked, and pinned them down...
Then sewed around the edges with a straight stitch.
Insert the elastic into the waistband casing, sew it together, then sew the casing shut! Donzo!
Thanks for having me, Adrianna and Susan! Good luck to all the Skirt Week entrants!

Listening to Metallicacould help stimulate the brain, says one professor from New York's Columbia University.
In her new book - Your Playlist Can Change Your Life: 10 Proven Ways Your Favorite Music Can Revolutionize Your Health, Memory, Organization, Alertness and More - professor Galina Mindlin says the metal giants' fast paced tracks can create helpful activity in the brain.
"It's [about] how music affects you - how it can improve your memory, how it can relieve anxiety, enhance your mood, how we can use playlists for specific tasks," Mindlin tells Gibson.com. "Using music with certain frequencies, you really can create the desired state of mind."
The Death Magnetic rockers are not, however, the only ones generating beneficial sounds:
"What's right for you might not be right for someone else," she adds. "Some people love the classical genre, but some people get excited by pop. The idea is to activate as many brain areas as you can."
