I seem to have the latest timezone.
I am PST. I hope it doesn't matter too much in the end, though.
List updated, I add green color to flag people who are already in the lobby.
Current at 03/01
10/12 players
4/12 confirmed
Need timezone for
I can't help but think certain people are jumping the gun. For a start, we need to make sure everyone playing is completely new to the game; someone with even a bit of experience who's only played one game could unbalance everything. Also, when I briefly checked out the various game options corresponding to different player numbers, the one with 12 spaces said 'make a game that could last all year'. That seems a bit too much for me; the site writers played with 8 and that seemed to go on for long enough as it was - you could tell they were all mentally exhausted.
Edit: In the custom settings for the game that Napalm set-up all of the research costs are set to 'expensive'. What's wrong with the standard amount?

Oh I'll play and write, I'm GMT+1! I have no experience with the game though, so I might not be the sharpest player.. :D
Edit: Touché Coccyx, thanks for pointing that out. I withdraw my application to the 12-man game, but I'll gladly join an 8-man.
Last edited by nerflek; 03-01-2012 at 03:09 PM.
Good points Coccyx,
1/ I don't modify the settings, it's on Expensive because the game area is large and you have room to build science facilities.
2/ Yeah we clearly can't play for a year, but making it 8 is not a solution. I mean everyone disserve to play, and even if 3 are kindly enough to wisdraw their participation, it doesn't sounds like a good solution. We can make it 12 players and build custom settings to fasten the game. I primarly choose Baxter Galaxy because it means long game and I thought it would be cool to write a big galactic saga with a lot of points of view and climax and everything, but obviously their will be deads before the end of the third week.
3/ How can you check if someone is not a newbie ?
We check by asking nicely. 12 players, 12 points of view - it's just too much. In an ideal world everyone could get involved. If enough people want to then I'm sure a second, separate game could be arranged. That's my view anyway, as I've already said I'll go with the majority.
GMT and ready to write!
A 12 player game can last up to a year, however you can adjust the settings allowing for faster gameplay. Making research less expensive is one option.
It looks like people continue to join, so here is my opinion : we wait for a few days and if 2 others join, we make a first 8-men game with volunteers and a second 6 or 8 game with everyone else. If nobody come, let's vote.
We also have to discuss map settings and diaries.
I am GMT+1.
And i wholeheartedly support the movement to start two games.
Agreed with the majority, let's go for two! Also, relinking the steam group here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RPSNPG don't forget to join(kudos to AyeGill)! And I'm a total newb to this game if it's any comfort to you. :P
I would love to play, but I have a few #1 finishes under my belt, so playing against new players may not be fair/fun for all involved (not to say 2 players couldn't gang up early on and take me out). If you guys can't find all 12 I'll jump in, otherwise I'll leave it to new people who can write an first impression log.
I'd be interested in playing, but I'm EST (I think that's GMT -5).
Not sure. I'll give him a shot if everyone else is willing to.
Just make sure we all watch that bastard.
ha, if everyone gangs up on me I have no shot, 3 on 1 is pretty much guaranteed death early, 2 on 1 may or may not depending on the circumstance but its pretty dang tough. The game is mostly about alliances and mind games, early and even early mid game everyone is pretty balanced in strength.
I sure would like to play with you guys.
i'm not a good writer though and i would rather not write at all
my timezone is gmt +1
Sorry Ilves, I still think it would mess the game up too much.

I love danny so much!!!!
I just adore this man and his amazing voice.
Love, Love Danny's talent and Love this song. Great Video......
This is the first time I've actully gone and looked for him besides Season 8. I didn't think I like it but I do. I think I needed a few months to get used to him. This was great and fits him from what I know and see.
This song has a true meaning to it. I like his voice
Love this song. Everyone I know that listens to this song Loves this song. So uplifting,
I quote this song all the time! I'm not exactly a "spring chicken" and I love this song. It's so upbeat and reminds everyone that no matter what happened yesterday, we still have our best days ahead of us. My granddaughter is a huge fan, too, so Danny crosses so many generational lines, I KNOW he will be around a long, long time. So please get used to playing his music and videos!!! Thanks,
Awesome song...the whole album is a must have if you are a Danny fan.
This song has so much meaning to it. The fact of it is, it is all true. We can't live on a fast life beacuse Life is Way to Short. Love Ya Danny, CFS05
This song is such an upbeat anthem! I consider it my personal graduation song! Because it reminds me that as I go forward into my future, I can remember my past with happiness and laugh at my mistakes, knowing they shaped me, but yet still believe that my BEST days are ahead of me. This is a very awesome idea!
Although I'm more of a pessimist by nature (Murphy's Law and all that), I love the upbeat message of this video. With the economy in the toilet and the threat of layoff very real, I have decided to heed the message of "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me": "Live now," and "If not now, when?" I'm middle-aged, and being cautious, putting things off, and delaying gratification have gotten me nowhere. So while I won't be foolish (I hope!), my new mantra is "live now!" As for the song itself, it is perfect for occasions like birthdays and graduations. I bought the song for a friend's birthday (who is of a similar age), and she cried when she heard it. It reminded her that she had plenty of life left to live. I love the grit in Danny Gokey's voice when he sings "Age ain't nothing but a number." And when I have heard the song on the radio (which frankly, hasn't been that often), it has sounded very fresh and different from other songs on country radio. Shame on country radio for not playing it more!
As a fan live outside US.I can be related to the MV and totally touched by it.Buddy you did a fantastic job.
Love my best days. At my age, older) gives me hope to look to the future.
I love your voice!! What an inspiring and make you wanna get up and dance song. I want to buy your album! Thank God you are on the move Danny! Stay true to you!
This song taught me a lot about life. Look forward. and my best days are ahead of me. to think! Danny Gokey is new on here!
our graduation song :D
I love this song, it makes you ready for tomorrow!
Such a FANTABULOUS song-it makes you feel good listening to it-my favorite song of 2010 so far. Positivity is something we can all benefit from having a little more of. Great video. I wish Danny all the success in the world.
I never get tired of this song or this video. So upbeat and energizing.
This video is great but I must say the entire CD is fantastic! Not one song on it I don't love.

"A cracking day" with The Hampshire District 2 Heads
Thank you to Bruce Waelend, for sending his thoughts on our day of practical fun, with the Hampshire heads:
What a great day!
The normal format for head teacher conferences is that someone will sit and talk to us about whatever it is – safeguarding or how to spend the Pupil Premium or zonal defence in lacrosse!
Normally there's a PowerPoint involved and a fair wad of paper handouts.
Speakers tend to be into three categories: there's the 'hilarious and inspiring at the time, but I can't remember a word that they said now'; the 'serious and interesting with no jokes and lots of research evidence, which leave you feeling that you really need to read more about this but, even if you get the book, don't' and finally there is the 'genuinely inspiring at the time and also has a huge impact in the long term, even to the point of helping you to see the world differently forever'. The third one is rare.
This was none of those. Instead, it was really refreshing and different, forcing head teachers to get off their behinds and do some of the stuff that we are constantly asking children to do – writing, working together, facing deadlines and presenting. However, this was all done in the context of using a range of great free, web-based tools in a real writing context.
I certainly had to face what we ask children to do all the time – the reluctance of working in a group (I'd rather have done it by myself initially), struggling with a task that has just been presented to you that you're not exactly confident with, and then working with a group of people to produce something under pressure.
I'd quite forgotten the way that you seem to have so much time until you realise that the last few grains are heading to the bottom of the sand-timer.
It was excellent – rather unlike our finished presentation.
I've been to great meetings where people have given me all kinds of resources or ideas that can be freely used from the web but without having a context in which to use them, they are rather easily forgotten.
Not so here. I'll remember Tiltshiftmaker, Tag Galaxy, Morfo (one shown to me by a colleague in our group), Tagxedo & Psykopaint because we used them, or at least tried to.
I'll be able to recommend them, knowing that they work – or at least I know the problems associated with them.
So thanks Tim and Sarah – a cracking day, which got us off to an excellent start to the conference.

Google StreetView Stereographic ~ Joyous mini worlds
Something we have used for quite a while now, and involve as just one step in the process of bringing worlds alive, with the schools we work alongside, is the wonderful Google Street View Stereographic. This joyous gem makes your very own, free, explorable, mini planets!
Visit your location, in StreetView Stereographic, & then learn to fly, as it is possible to move around within your world.
Just one way remember, but a fantastic stimulus for talk, discussion, talk for writing, and a whole lot more. Fun!
Hampshire District 2 Headteachers' Conference, Sandbanks
Together, we explored the progression that can be taken using artifacts and images, then we had a VERY hands-on, have-a-go-day with 22 headteachers, from the Hampshire District 2 Headteachers' group, in the incredible setting of Sandbanks, near Poole. We had a fun filled investigation of how images, living texts and sound effects, can bring story (re-)telling alive. In groups, we set off in to the picturesque setting of Sandbanks in Poole, capturing scenes to support the telling of a tale, then returned to do some wizardry.
We were joined by colleagues from Barncroft Primary, Denmead School, Emsworth School, Fairfield Infant, Hartplain Infant, Horndean Infant School, Horndean Junior School, Mengham Infant, Mengham Junior, Mill Rythe Infant, Moreland Primary, Petersgate Infant, Purbrook Junior, Sharps Copse Primary, Springwood Infant, Springwood Junior, St. Peters School, and Riders Infants, Queens Inclosure Primary School, St. James C of E Primary and The Federation of Millhill and Woodcroft.
Thank you to Sarah Court, headteacher of Mill Rythe Infant,
Tools explored today included;
Tiltshift Maker bringing miniature characters into life within the locality, or focusing on a significant portion within a landscape, or portrait.
Psykopaint, whisking photographs into paintings. Great artists styles can be stolen borrowed to enhance aspects of the photos. By darkening, hardlighting, multiplying, overlaying, and manipulating, different feelings, and messages, can be accentuated.
Tagxedo, playing with words, picking them up and juggling them. When used in its full screen ("player only") mode, it means you can explore your carefully chosen collection of vocabulary, bringing it alive, as you speak.
Music can breathe life in to a story too. Chosen, and crafted carefully, an arrangement of sounds, and instruments, can bring out just the right sensations, and emotions, in a yarn. Soundation was the tool of choice for generating some stunning soundtracks which really enhanced the performances of the sagas.
CleVR creates still, and moving panoramas, from your photos… and a LOT more…
AppMakr is a cool web tool that enables users to easily and instantly build a rich content based app. Just paste in the URL of the website you have, and then start customizing it the way you want. You can add images, videos…etc. The free version is ad supported (and there is a paid version with no ads), but worth giving it a go first, as a learning experience alone.
Mill Rythe Infant School, Hampshire ~ Day 2
Our second day with Mill Rythe Infant School on Hayling Island and what a lovely time we had. The children and staff of the school are responsive and ready to take on ideas and challenges. We stood and contemplated, but also explored the world of words, at some speed, sharing and saving suggestions, making decisions, having balanced arguments and recording thoughts.
We started the day with 50+ Mill Rythe Y2 pupils and some Y3 pupils from Mengham Junior School, and visitng teachers from neighbouring schools.
Then in the afternoon we had the pleasure of the Year 1 pupils and some of the Reception Class children.
A huge THANK YOU to Charlotte Tighe, Literacy/KS1 leader for travelling with us today, and yesterday, and recording her thoughts for us here:
Tim and Sarah – Mill Rythe Infants 29th and 30th April 2013
It is always an exciting day when award winning teacher comes to teach you some of his tricks but no-one expected yesterday's training! As a staff, we had been eagerly anticipating Tim's visit for a while – we knew that he was an excellent teacher who had won awards, we knew that he was coming to show us ICT techniques to use in the classroom and (those of us who enjoy the trappings of social media) knew he had a twitter! However – although all those things are true, that was not what struck us most.
Put simply – the enthusiasm that he and Sarah showed was infectious! Being a teacher still in the first 5 years of my career, I felt confident that my ICT knowledge was at the very least recent. I knew a few handy websites to help with specific subjects and am a whizz at using a visualizer… but Tim does not visit to show you specific websites for particular subjects or sell you the latest expensive gadget (which will make you choose between buying shiny electronic things or buying yet more whiteboard pens).
From a teacher's point of view the session Tim and Sarah led was invaluable – the sheer amount of resources they showed us was amazing yet we were not prompted to use this 'as a science lesson' or 'use it in Numeracy to teach this concept'. No. they showed us the technology and let us go on the wondrous journey of 'wittering about it'! Because we were not prompted to link what they showed us purely to Literacy or Numeracy, we generated cross-curricular ideas that are simple, free and would enthuse our children (possibly to the point of explosion but oh well)!
From a Key Stage Leader viewpoint it was easy to see why Tim is so in demand! The resources and advice he gives applies to all key stages, abilities, type and size of school. However…the main reason that I loved the session is because Tim is not afraid to go out on a limb and do it himself! He is definitely a presenter who practices what he preaches and shows you using video clips of his class, nose picking children and everything.
Although he is well known for his use of the Myst series of video games, it is HOW he has used them that is the true showing of the excellent teacher that he is – linking to fantasy stories, fact sheets, directional movements and more! He further develops this by modelling the strategies with your children, so you can follow this through back in your own classroom.
The time that the staff were given to explore the resources in Myst and the Locked page were invaluable and gave us an opportunity to plan for when we are back in the classroom. I look forward to using the suggestions and resources Tim and Sarah have shown us – especially because they explained how to do everything very clearly and gave us time to practice!
The second day of Tim's visit was even better – most teachers like to see people using the resources, teaching using the strategies and I am no exception! Tim's session with Year 2 (and a few Year 3′s we picked up along the way) was brilliant. Exploring the terrain of Myst, speculating about the possibilities of spiral staircases, the wind and the creatures we might find on this mysterious island was truly eye-opening.
Every school has children who have Special Needs or have a speech and language issue – this usually results in the children retreating into their shell and hiding their true selves away – Tim's session allowed (more than that, encouraged) these children to speak freely and not worry about spellings or handwriting- just to say their ideas, no matter how silly!
The change in the children was amazing to see and their confidence grew as they realized that Tim wanted to hear their ideas and know why they thought that. The methods that Tim used to encourage less teacher talk and more children talking definitely helped children to develop their ideas (and showed the teachers a few tricks to develop this)!
By the end of the session the children were buzzing with ideas, determined to finish their work and to send it off into the ether to be read by someone…this is hard to replicate but Tim has given us a good starting point to develop this within our school.
Although Tim has given us a lot of valuable information and resources there are 3 things that will stick in my mind:
- Always think outside the box…(the x box in particular…or the PC…or the Wii….)
- The locked page is an excellent tool – you will go home and have a play!
- Don't panic!
Thank you Charlotte, for your very thoughtful reflections on the two days.
We look forward to keeping in touch, with all at the school, to see how you're getting on, with whatever you try.
Thanks again go to Sarah Court, Mill Rythe Infant School's headteacher, for inviting us to her delightful school to spend time with her colleagues, pupils …and ducks – THANK YOU!

Mill Rythe Infant School, Hampshire ~ Day 1
The first of two days a Mill Rythe Infant School on Hayling Island, and the first of three days with its headteacher, Sarah Court. On Wednesday, we will be at the Hampshire District 2 Headteachers' Conference together in Poole looking at some fun, practical ways pf extending ideas, with heads from across the area. But first… some joyous explorations with children, and staff, from this lovely learning space.
Today's INSET looked at some of the visual literacy ideas that can get classrooms bubbling. We were joined by neighbouring schools : Purbrook Infant School, Riverside School, Lee-on-the-Solent Infants, Hale Primary, Catherington Infants, Freegrounds Infant School, Springwood Infant School, Netley Marsh Infant School and Cherrywood Primary School.
We had a good look at how we can use a huge variety of resources as a stimulus for creativity across the curriculum. When using computer games as the springboard for writing, there are so many different genres that can flow from the images and experiences. With many immersive games, descriptive narrative is perhaps the most natural, due to the engaging nature of the landscapes, then recounts, letters, emails, postcards, reports, blogs, wikis, explanations and more. We explored together the use of still image, panoramas, mini worlds created from panoramas, moving panoramas and manipulating images in interesting ways to spark ideas and conversations. Then going further we ventured into the worlds in the Myst series Wii games and online tools.
We are looking forward to working with the children of the school tomorrow, and our focus will be investigating the power that digital games have in developing confidence in many forms of analog writing.

Content Genrator's Fling The Teacher
Create your own Flash-based interactive gameshow-style game with Content Generator's "Fling The Teacher".
Based around multiple-choice questions together with 'helplines' ('Take two away', 'Take a vote' and 'Ask an expert') each correct answer helps construct a trebuchet to fling the teacher away, when you get 15 correct. While not perfect, this could be a fun way of creating quizzes.
Into the Myst in Solihull
Thank you, to Karen Brooks of Lady Katherine Leveson C of E Primary, who spent two days (1 and 2) with us, during our recent visit to Solihull, and sent us these thoughts:
Thanks for an entertaining couple of days. It was great to see children so motivated to write. Both KS1 and KS2 pupils seem to be working well. I was impressed to see Year 2 pupils giving both sides of an argument, as illustrated by your good friend, Mr Walker.
The embedded use of ICT really fired their imaginations and created many opportunities for further teaching.
It is always interesting to watch other people teach and to notice techniques they use to manage behaviour whilst inspiring creativity and risk taking.
I will certainly be adapting some of your tricks;
- I spotted more by being able to attend both the KS1 and KS2 sessions.
As teachers we often find ourselves too busy to learn, and remembering what fun learning can be is refreshing. In the morning we learnt with children and I was not the only one who did not want to stop.
In the afternoon we learned alongside colleagues – another step up in my use of PowerPoint, and some useful, free software. We may start sharing ideas using virtual post-its in staff meetings.
Wow! Hasn't the internet got some great things to offer? And they are free! The twilight session had so many ideas. I'll be using that password to the LOCKED PAGE and for finding some of those websites.

After dispatching Douglass in the Region 4-AAA championship game on Saturday, the Cavaliers earned the right to host a first-round game in the state tournament, and they'll take on Beach tonight in the second game of a doubleheader.
First up at 6 p.m., the Callaway girls' team will take on Tatnall County, and at 7:30 p.m., Callaway and Beach will lock horns.
The Cavaliers (16-7) have won 13 of their past 14 games, and they've only lost twice since opening the season 1-5.
Beach won't be a pushover, though.
The Bulldogs, who come from the basketball hotbed of Savannah, are 16-12, and they finished fourth in a tough Region 1-AAA.
The Bulldogs, who average 56 points per game, get it done with a balanced attack, with three players averaging in double figures.
Rashad Cummings, a 6-foot-4 senior post player, leads the way with 14.7 points per game, and senior guard Shawn Brooks scores 13.7 points a game.
Juadeem Banks, a 6-foot-5 post player, averages 13 points a game, and he leads the team with seven rebounds a game.
The Bulldogs had won six straight games before losing to Savannah in the region semifinals, and they fell to Tatnall County in the third-place game.
While Beach has a solid inside presence, Callaway gets it done without a post game to speak of.
Among the players who see significant playing time, Patrick Strickland is the tallest player at 6-2, and none of the other regular players are taller than six feet.
The Cavaliers have dynamic perimeter players, though, including leading scorer Nehemiah Jones, Brandon Bridges, Terry Godwin, and freshman Dre Martin, who was called up to the varsity after Tyrell Tigner left the team.
The Cavaliers have been a terrific defensive team this season, and head coach Terry Hayes said effort is never a question with this group.
"I told the kids, some nights you can't shoot the ball, but you can always have defensive intensity," Hayes said. "(With) intensity, hustle, you can overcome a lot of adversity. If you hustle all night long and rebound and run the floor, that will overcome a lot of adversity. Turn the intensity up, turn the defense up. They (the players) believe in that."
The Cavaliers head into state play after a hard-fought, 74-64 victory over Douglass in the region-championship game.
The Cavaliers trailed heading into the fourth period, but they flew past the Astros and didn't look back.
"I'm very proud of the guys," Hayes said after the game. "To start the season 1-5, and come all the way back and win the region championship shows they've got a lot of heart. They never quit. They have a never-say-die attitude. That's what I like about them."
If Callaway wins today, it would host either Washington County or Central-Macon in the second round.

hi friends! i recently read about type 1s using metformin to help gain some control over numbers and weight loss. any type 1s have experience with this? i have also read about hair loss linked to metformin, is that a common side effect? i have very fine hair to begin with but just curious. I see my endo in a month and will ask more details but if you guys could help me out for now with some advice thatd be great!!
IR is not a typical symptom of LADA. But anyone with Type 1 is subject to develop it especially if they follow the typical recommended amounts of carbs!
I agree with you on the carbs..
Here's where I'm coming from with the IR being LADA..
According to John Walsh, whose opinion I trust, people with LADA, like other Type 1's have little or no resistance to insulin. ("Using Insulin" page 40). And just from the anecdotal info on here, most of us take insulin doses similar to other Type 1's (while people with IR typically take significantly higher doses.)Type 1 is primarily a condition of insulin deficiency, where Type 2 is characterized by resistance. But there are certainly exceptions to all rules with D! I just saw your TDD in your other post, you take less than 20 units a day. That is not a dose of someone with insulin resistance.That's a dose of someone who is insulin sensitive. What makes you think you have IR?
Hello Zoe, Metformin will influence the insulin receptor that it true. Thus the affinity to insulin will improve. For T1 this does not help much but it also influences the production rate of the liver for glucose. This will have an interesting effect for T1 too. They will need less basal insulin for this lower rate of the liver. But the reactivity of the liver will be moderated down too. This has the potential to help T1 diabetics that have a very sensitive or reactive liver. Those with very high release rates after waking up and putting the first foot to the floor. Those who react with huge spikes to physical activity. Metformin has a good safety record but the side effects can be unpleasant (bloating etc). Still I would explore it to see how it can help me if my endo would suggest it to me. It just takes one or two weeks to see the benefits and downsides.
I developed some insulin resistance and was using really high basal rates at night...approaching 3 u/hour at for part of the night, in order to keep my BG down. My endo said this was fine, but if we wanted to attack the root of the problem - gluconeogenesis by the liver - I could try metformin. I am now taking 500 mg Metformin ER
in the morning and the evening. It has cut my TDD by about 25% and has reduced spiking at meals (it slows digestion too). You have to ramp up slowly to get used to it to avoid the stomach side effects.
My endo has also said she is willing to let me try symlin or Victoza (typically a type 2 drug, now being tested in type 1s) if I wsanted to... but right now , the metformin is working fine and the warnings on symlin and victoza are a little scary regarding potential side effects.
If you do take metformin, you will have to make adjustments in your basal rates, I:C ratios, and ISF factor. Once I retuned everything, things have been relatively stable.
It *is* possible to have insulin resistance with type 1.
By the way, my weight dropped about 5 pounds since taking the metformin. I have a normal BMI for my height (6'0, 170 lbs).
Thanks, Holger, I wasn't aware of those uses for Metformin in Type 1's.
What I was questioning, though, is why diabeetusista believed she had Insulin Resistance.
I've been taking Metformin since the day I was diagnosed about 3 years ago (as my primary thought I was Type 2 due to my age). Even when the endo determined it was LADA, he kept me on metformin. Endo felt that even if I didn't have insulin resistance, it would help with sensitivity and allow less insulin to be used. Currently, I only need 2-3 units of basal, plus boluses ranging 1:10 to 1:30, depending on the time of day. Probably still honeymooning a bit, though. I wouldn't choose it specifically for weight loss, but if you think it will help with your BG, it might be worth asking about. Actually, it looks like you've already been to the appt - what did you end up deciding to do?
If some pill is not needed, why take it?
Metformin is not proved (by scientific papers) to be usefull for type 1 (read: lower A1C), but someone's experiece is good and some other's bad about it.
BUT if you don't have IR, I think you shouldn't take it.
For sure if you don't take metformin some days your BG are highers, but that's because without it all parameters change: basal sensitivity and I/C ratio.
Try not to take it for a month, re-check your insulin parameters and see. If you need only some more insulin but your BG control is good, spare a med and go without metformin.
I'm T1 with insulin resistance and I started taking metformin about a month ago. Prior to that, my TDD was steadily going up and so was my weight. It was so frustrating to have to take more and more insulin to cover a pretty meager, low-carb diet, while exercising and doing everything I could think of to manage D.
Metformin has allowed me to reduce my TDD a bit and I've lost a few pounds. The weight loss is negligible, but it's a relief to see a stronger relationship between my carb intake, exercise, and insulin needs. Luckily, I haven't experienced any side effects. Good luck with it if you decide to try it!
I just have to add this and it´s not meant to scare you but Metformin is hard on the kidneys not only your stomach.
I started Metformin after two islet cell transplants. I got off the pump but my blood sugar was a bit too high in the morning and my own insulin production was not enough so the doctors put me on Metformin. Side effects from post transplant medications was heavy for me and when my kidneys started too fail the first thing they took me off to relieve my kidneys was Metformin. Today my kidneys are fine after quitting all meds and going back to being a type 1-diabetic. Kidneys was starting to fail only because of the meds I had to use after the transplant including Metformin.
This argumeant is off the wall.
Metformin helps arrest excess Liver Glucose release and phantom liver dumps.
Type 1 and type 2 arguments are off the wall and simply dogmatic arguments.
If Liver is working fine and handling buffering dumps correctly and insulin resistance is low; there may be no need to take.
On the other hand;it is a tool with certain capabilities.

The pageantry of local marching bands, along with honor and color guards, will converge with solemn remarks and remembrances Saturday as Mount Airy holds its annual Veterans Day observance.
It will include a parade through the downtown area, leading to a program at the city war memorial on the corner of South Main and Rockford streets featuring a gun salute and other activities.
Dr. David Shockley, the president of Surry Community College, who is a military veteran, is the guest speaker for the program.
Hundreds of people, many veterans among them, typically attend the annual gathering in Mount Airy to pay tribute to military personnel for their service to the country.
Entries in Saturday's parade will include the marching bands of North Surry and Surry Central high schools, the North Surry Color Guard and the American Legion Honor Guard, according to Herb Joyce, the latter group's chaplain.
Fire department, rescue squad and other emergency vehicles also will be part of the procession in addition to small novelty vehicles that tend to be a crowd favorite.
The motorized units of the parade will gather at Veterans Memorial Park and leave there at 11 a.m. Saturday, Joyce said. They will be joined by the marching bands and other walking units at BB&T on North Main Street.
Joyce guessed that the procession will arrive in the downtown area around 11:30 a.m.
Program At Monument
The parade is to end near the Mount Airy War Memorial, where special remarks and activities are planned Saturday beginning at noon.
Kelly Epperson has been tapped to continue his ongoing role as master of ceremonies for the program, which will include welcoming remarks by Mayor Deborah Cochran.
Joyce, the American Legion Honor Guard chaplain, will deliver the invocation.
Mike Thorpe, former commander of the local American Legion, then will lead the Pledge of Allegiance.
Next on the program schedule is the recognition of commanders of local military and auxiliary organizations by Epperson.
Shockley, the SCC president and keynote speaker, then will offer his remarks. Shockley is a former member of the U.S. Marines who served as a combat engineer specializing in demolitions.
A wreath-laying at the memorial, which lists the names of Surry County's war dead, will be lead by Nolan Boyles and Mayor Cochran.
After that, a flag-folding ceremony by North Surry High School JROTC representatives is scheduled.
The national anthem then will be rendered by the Tri-M Music Honors Chorus of Mount Airy High School.
North Surry JROTC representatives were tapped to help conclude Saturday's program with the raising of the flag, preceding a gun salute and the playing of "Taps" by the American Legion Post 123 Honor Guard.
The weather is expected to cooperate Saturday, with mostly clear skies forecast.

HAMILTON - Gainesville coach Bruce Miller said he figured his offense would be able to score points Friday against Harris County. What he was concerned about was how the defense would fare against one of the state's most productive running backs.
North Hall coach Bob Christmas was even a little shocked by this one. He wasn't surprised that the Trojans won and secured a spot in the state semifinals, just the way it happened.
Gainesville at Harris County When: 7:30 tonight Where: Harris County Stadium, Cleveland Radio: 1240-AM Coaches: Gainesville, Bruce Miller; Harris County, Tommy Parks Records: Gainesville (9-3, No. 2 Region 8-AAAAA); Harris County (8-4, No. 1 Region 1-AAAAA) Winner plays: Allatoona/Whitewater winner Key players: Gainesville, QB Deshaun Watson (6-3, 195 Jr.), S Fred Payne (5-11, 180 Sr.), LB Devan Stringer (5-10, 190 Jr.). Harris County, RB Esaias Chapman (5-9, 180 Jr.); TE/DE Jay Ellison (6-2, ...
North Hall junior Andrew Smith will be sporting a unique, mullett-esque haircut under his helmet going into Friday's quarterfinal playoff game, and he has only himself to blame.
Gainesville coach Bruce Miller said he never dreamed of starting a freshman quarterback against Buford, the Class AA defending state champions, in the opening game of the 2010 season.
A week later, four area teams are still pushing forward in the high school football state playoffs.
MARIETTA - Trailing 35-21 at halftime in Friday's state playoff game, Gainesville head coach Bruce Miller said he didn't tell his players anything special.
JEFFERSON - It was a history making night Friday at Jefferson Memorial Stadium as the Jefferson Dragons ran through the visiting Westminster Wildcats 35-7 to advance in the Class AA state playoffs.
North Hall's Andrew Smith made three huge first quarter plays in Friday's second-round playoff game against Morgan County. The Trojans (10-2) would need them all as they survived a gritty effort from the Bulldogs to earn a 13-9 victory at The Brickyard.
BOGART - North Oconee didn't leave Buford with many chances on Friday, but the Wolves took advantage of the few shots they had.
Terrick Ramsey scored for Commerce on a 69-yard run in the second quarter to cut Seminole County's lead to two scores, but that would be all the Tigers would get as they fell 36-7 on Friday in Donalsonville.
After breaking their first two-game losing streak in five years, Gainesville (8-3) hopes it can ride the momentum of last week's first-round win against Rome, into a win in the second round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs against Kell (10-1) tonight in Marietta. This game is shaping up to feature two heavyweight offenses with a state quarterfinal berth going to the winner.
Morgan County at North Hall When: 7:30 tonight Where: The Brickyard, Gainesville Coaches: Morgan County, Bill Malone; North Hall, Bob Christmas Records: Morgan County (9-2, No. 2 Region 8-AAA), North Hall (9-2, No. 1 Region 7-AAA) Key players: Morgan County, RB Marquis Benton (5-8, 171 Jr.); WR/DB Melvin Davis (5-11, 190 Sr.); C/LB Bailey Ross (5-11, 220 Sr.). North Hall, QB/DB Andrew Smith (5-8, 145 Jr.); QB/LB Bradley Brown (6-2, 205 Sr.); RB/LB Kevin Christmas ...
Even when Kevin Christmas was less than a week old, North Hall coach Bob Christmas and his entire family still took to the sidelines on Friday nights to support another of the Christmas clan.
After a pair of first-round upsets, only five area teams are still standing in the high school football playoffs, and just two of those call Hall County home.

Terminator hater. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a well known actor in movies such as the terminator series but like other people there are those who hate him, those who do hate the terminator are known as negger. Old person speaking* "Ol it's great to be in line for my favorite show, the Terminator, where I will watch it here on the big screen."
Random black dude speaks* "Terminator? Shoot I came here to watch the Jeffersons on the big screen, I aint know nothin bout no terminator. F*** Terminator!" Old person speaking* "Hey you negger, how bout you get you're black, negger azz over here and give your respects to the Schwarzenegger by taking back what you said and shining my shoes.

Someone who is really, REALLY negative. "Who invited all them neggers to the party!? If they don't stop talking about slavery, genocide and 9/11, I'm gonna lose my buzz.
4. | negger | ||
HIV-negative gay men who have unsafe sex with other gay men who make the unsubstantiated claim to be HIV-negative. They also reject safe sex with HIV-positive gay men. They tend to live life to the fullest, in that they are drunk, mostly. Badlands was so full of neggers, the AIDS Health Project is going to have a full intake room next week...
5. | negger | ||
Someone who annoys you but is not quite a nigger. This word is not restricted to any race or discludes any race whatsoever. White people can be called niggers. shit I'll pretty much give you the definition of nigger if you stfu. Nigger-lazy, worthless male (no specific ethinicity) piece of shit who likes to suck dick Originated from a redneck pronuncing the word nigger incorrectly and eventually evolving from there. "Yo mane can you tell me where da nearest KFC at? How bout da mawll? So I can hang around tha movehz, yao ming? Mane I can't wait to see tha new nigga Wesley Snipe movie. That boy dope, yo. I mean he kinda ole school an shit but I'm sure he's fresh after not starring in shit, yanowhatimsayin?" -Tyrone
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, NEGGER!" -Chad |
6. | negger | ||
One who puts down a member of the opposite sex as an opening line, so as to leave a memorable first impression. WARNING!!! ... upon trial of this word, excute extreme caution in your pronunciation, as a small vowel sound change can go from a small chuckle to a Michael Richards incident. "He'll never change, always comin' out and just blatantly puttin' chicks down....but he's always got 'em callin'. That's why he'll be a negger 4 life.
7. | Negger | ||
A person that is always negative; rarely has a positive thing to say. It was 80 degrees outside and the sky was blue, but she complained that there was a slight breeze and the sky wasn't blue enough. She was a real negger.

Wallace Hind began life on April 6th 1992 when the 3 founding partners, Mike Horsley, John Gowen & Gerry Bell decided to set up their own business with the support of a business angel called Alan Hind.
As you can see in the pictures they're holding, back then they had a little more hair!
Starting off in rented office space at a converted manor house in the village of Moulton they quickly established themselves as the `go to` company for sales recruitment in Northampton.
Having added current partners Tracey FitzGerald & Rod Plowe to the team they moved to new rented offices on Moulton Park in 1994 but rapid growth in turnover and the addition of three more consultants and an administrator forced them to look around for new premises less than 2 years later.
In 1996 they found an ideal base which would allow for future growth which was the Old Vicarage in Duston. They decided to buy the property rather than rent and extensively renovated the inside of the 18th century listed building.
Recruiting more consultants they added marketing to sales as a specialism and continued to flourish hitting £1million turnover for the first time in 1999.
In 2006 the company decided to change the way it worked moving to a retained business model and recruiting outside of sales and marketing. This change added to a new management structure allowed the company to achieve £1.5 million turnover in 2008.
This turnover has been maintained since despite the credit crunch and the company is now set to achieve its long term target of £2 million turnover in the next 2 years.
As it stands Wallace Hind now employs 18 consultants including the 3 original partners (who all still actively recruit) and in its 20 years has produced turnover in excess of £20 million, placing over 4000 candidates at all levels from junior executive to the board room in sales, marketing & non sales roles.
They are able to offer a UK wide & international full recruitment service to FTSE 100 companies and SME`s alike. (In the last 12 months they have successfully worked in France, Germany, Holland, The Middle East & South Africa)
Their strap line is "where experience matters" and in addition to the three founding partners seven of their consultants have become full partners or associate partners.
In total they have in excess of 200 years of accumulated recruitment expertise; hence they really live by their motto 'where experience matters…'
Check out our Facebook timeline where you can trace back through the company history and see all key milestones and events; or just wish us a happy birthday! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wallace-Hind-Selection-LLP/172866596152517

Final result: 0 - 0Profit: 0.00 - 7 = -7
Besiktas - CSK Moscow
Can say that for the probation match Besiktas. Barca match last week's opponent
until the last quarter due to a bit messy play Besiktas took the head-to-head
match. This is not a good sign tonight against CSK Moscow will start hard core audience. However, there are a number of the best defense against them too much.
Especially the pot of six defense tonight Erceg in the absence of CSK perfect Khryapa parquet keep at least 30 minutes of waiting. Therefore, the drop-down count rate came at me. In addition, a player Curtis Jerrels stars, but a little self-portrait drawing plays. The number of assists as a number between 2-3, but can still remain between 10-15 points. Assists in the drop-down ratio of the number seemed to me a little bit more ...
V.Khryapa 8,5 points over
1.85 stake:7

Re: Friend or Foe -- the Ignore list
The last person who "dumped" me was Carrie, for a freakin hockey player. I could understand dumping me for a jockey or for say, Leonardo DeCaprio, but a freakin hockey player? That's bad. Vince P Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
