Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood glucose, commonly called blood sugar. Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It's also your brain's main source of fuel.
If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much glucose in your blood, although the reasons may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems.
Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes — when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy but may resolve after the baby is delivered.
Diabetes symptoms vary depending on how much your blood sugar is elevated. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, may not experience symptoms initially. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe. Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes include:
Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence. Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, can develop at any age and is often preventable.
When to see a doctor
To understand diabetes, first you must understand how glucose is normally processed in the body.
How insulin works
Insulin is a hormone that comes from the pancreas, a gland situated behind and below the stomach.
The role of glucose
Glucose — a sugar — is a main source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and other tissues.
Causes of type 1 diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, your immune system — which normally fights harmful bacteria or viruses — attacks and destroys your insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leaves you with little or no insulin. Instead of being transported into your cells, sugar builds up in your bloodstream. Type 1 is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, though exactly what many of those factors are is still unclear.
Causes of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
In prediabetes — which can lead to type 2 diabetes — and in type 2 diabetes, your cells become resistant to the action of insulin, and your pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to overcome this resistance. Instead of moving into your cells where it's needed for energy, sugar builds up in your bloodstream. Exactly why this happens is uncertain, although as in type 1 diabetes, it's believed that genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of type 2. Being overweight is strongly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, but not everyone with type 2 is overweight.
Causes of gestational diabetes
During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones to sustain your pregnancy. These hormones make your cells more resistant to insulin. As your placenta grows larger in the second and third trimesters, it secretes more of these hormones — making it even harder for insulin to do its job.
Normally, your pancreas responds by producing enough extra insulin to overcome this resistance. But sometimes your pancreas can't keep up. When this happens, too little glucose gets into your cells and too much stays in your blood. This is gestational diabetes.
Risk factors for diabetes depend on the type of diabetes.
Risk factors for type 1 diabetes
Although the exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown, genetic factors likely play a role. Your risk of developing type 1 diabetes increases if you have a parent or sibling who has type 1 diabetes. Environmental factors, such as exposure to a viral illness, also likely play some role in type 1 diabetes. Other factors that may increase your risk include:
Risk factors for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
Researchers don't fully understand why some people develop prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and others don't. It's clear that certain factors increase the risk, however, including:
Risk factors for gestational diabetes
Any pregnant woman can develop gestational diabetes, but some women are at greater risk than are others. Risk factors for gestational diabetes include:
Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually. The longer you have diabetes — and the less controlled your blood sugar — the higher the risk of complications. Eventually, diabetes complications may be disabling or even life-threatening. Possible complications include:
Complications of gestational diabetes
Most women who have gestational diabetes deliver healthy babies. However, untreated or uncontrolled blood sugar levels can cause problems for you and your baby.
Complications in your baby can occur as a result of gestational diabetes:
Complications in you can also occur as a result of gestational diabetes:
Complications of prediabetes
Prediabetes may develop into type 2 diabetes.
You're likely to start by seeing your primary care doctor if you're having diabetes symptoms. If your child is having diabetes symptoms, you might see your child's pediatrician. If blood sugar levels are extremely high, you'll likely be sent to the emergency room. If blood sugar levels aren't high enough to put you or your child immediately at risk, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in diabetes, among other disorders (endocrinologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and to know what to expect.
What you can do
Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For diabetes, some questions to ask include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you have.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often appear suddenly and are often the reason for checking blood sugar levels. Because symptoms of other types of diabetes and prediabetes come on more gradually or may not be evident, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recommended screening guidelines. The ADA recommends that the following people be screened for diabetes:
Tests for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
If the A1C test results aren't consistent, the test isn't available, or if you have certain conditions that can make the A1C test inaccurate — such as if you're pregnant or have an uncommon form of hemoglobin (known as a hemoglobin variant) — your doctor may use the following tests to diagnose diabetes:
If type 1 diabetes is suspected, your urine will be tested to look for the presence of ketones, a byproduct produced when muscle and fat tissue are used for energy when the body doesn't have enough insulin to use the available glucose. Occasionally a C peptide level — a test used to measure the ability of the pancreas to secrete insulin — may be ordered. Levels of C peptide are usually low in people with type 1 diabetes, but may be normal or high in people with type 2 diabetes.
Tests for gestational diabetes
Medical experts haven't established a single set of screening guidelines for gestational diabetes. Some question whether gestational diabetes screening is needed if you're younger than 25 and have no risk factors. Others say that screening all pregnant women — no matter their age — is the best way to identify all cases of gestational diabetes.
Your doctor will likely evaluate your risk factors for gestational diabetes early in your pregnancy.
Your doctor may use the following screening tests:
Tests for prediabetes
The primary test to screen for prediabetes is:
If the A1C test isn't available, or if you have certain conditions that can make the A1C test inaccurate — such as if you're pregnant or have an uncommon form of hemoglobin (known as a hemoglobin variant) — your doctor may use the following tests to diagnose diabetes:
Depending on what type of diabetes you have, blood sugar monitoring, insulin and oral medications may play a role in your treatment. But no matter what type of diabetes you have, eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and monitoring your blood sugar levels are key to managing your diabetes.
Treatments for all types of diabetes
An important part of managing all types of diabetes is maintaining a healthy weight through a healthy diet and exercise plan:
Healthy eating. Contrary to popular perception, there's no diabetes diet. You'll need to center your diet on more fruits, vegetables and whole grains — foods that are high in nutrition and fiber and low in fat and calories — and cut down on animal products, refined carbohydrates and sweets. In fact, it's the best eating plan for the entire family. Sugary foods are OK once in a while, as long as they're included in your meal plan.
Yet understanding what and how much to eat can be a challenge. A registered dietitian can help you create a meal plan that fits your health goals, food preferences and lifestyle. This may include carbohydrate counting, especially if you have type 1 diabetes.
Treatments for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Treatment for type 1 diabetes involves insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump, frequent blood sugar checks and carbohydrate counting. Treatment of type 2 diabetes primarily involves monitoring of your blood sugar, along with diabetes medications, insulin or both.
Monitoring your blood sugar. Depending on your treatment plan, you may check and record your blood sugar level several times a week to three or more times a day. Careful monitoring is the only way to make sure that your blood sugar level remains within your target range. People who receive insulin therapy may also choose to monitor their blood sugar levels with a continuous glucose monitor. Although this technology doesn't yet replace the glucose meter, it can provide important information about trends in blood sugar levels.
Even if you eat on a rigid schedule, the amount of sugar in your blood can change unpredictably. With help from your diabetes treatment team, you'll learn how your blood sugar level changes in response to food, physical activity, medications, illness, alcohol, stress and — for women — fluctuations in hormone levels.
In addition to daily blood sugar monitoring, your doctor may recommend regular A1C testing to measure your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Compared with repeated daily blood sugar tests, A1C testing better indicates how well your diabetes treatment plan is working overall. An elevated A1C level may signal the need for a change in your insulin regimen or meal plan. Your target A1C goal may vary depending on your age and various other factors. However, for most people with diabetes, the American Diabetes Association recommends an A1C of below 7 percent. Ask your doctor what your A1C target is.
Insulin. Most people with type 1 diabetes need insulin therapy to survive. Some people with type 2 diabetes also need insulin therapy. Often insulin is injected using a fine needle and syringe or an insulin pen — a device that looks like an ink pen, except the cartridge is filled with insulin.
An insulin pump may also be an option. The pump is a device about the size of a cellphone worn on the outside of your body. A tube connects the reservoir of insulin to a catheter that's inserted under the skin of your abdomen. A tubeless pump that works wirelessly is also now available. You program an insulin pump to dispense specific amounts of insulin. It can be adjusted to deliver more or less insulin depending on meals, activity level and blood sugar level.
An emerging treatment approach is the closed loop insulin delivery, also known as the artificial pancreas. It links a continuous glucose monitor to an insulin pump. The device automatically delivers the correct amount of insulin when the monitor indicates the need for it. Testing has shown encouraging results, but more research is needed.
Many types of insulin are available, including rapid-acting insulin, long-acting insulin and intermediate options. Depending on your needs, your doctor may prescribe a mixture of insulin types to use throughout the day and night.
Treatment for gestational diabetes
Controlling your blood sugar level is essential to keeping your baby healthy and avoiding complications during delivery. In addition to maintaining a healthy diet and exercising, your treatment plan may include monitoring your blood sugar and, in some cases, using insulin.
Your health care provider will also monitor your blood sugar level during labor. If your blood sugar rises, your baby may release high levels of insulin — which can lead to low blood sugar right after birth.
Treatment for prediabetes
If you have prediabetes, healthy lifestyle choices can help you bring your blood sugar level back to normal or at least keep it from rising toward the levels seen in type 2 diabetes. Maintaining a healthy weight through exercise and healthy eating can help. Exercising at least 150 minutes a week and losing 5 to 10 percent of your body weight may prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
Sometimes medications — such as metformin (Glucophage, Glumetza, others) — also are an option if you're at high risk of diabetes, including when your prediabetes is worsening or if you have cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease or polycystic ovary syndrome.
In other cases, medications to control cholesterol — statins, in particular — and high blood pressure medications are needed. Your doctor might prescribe low-dose aspirin therapy to help prevent cardiovascular disease if you're at high risk. Healthy lifestyle choices remain key, however.
Signs of trouble in any type of diabetes
Because so many factors can affect your blood sugar, problems sometimes arise. These conditions require immediate care, because if left untreated, seizures and loss of consciousness (coma) can occur.
Diabetes is a serious disease. Following your diabetes treatment plan takes round-the-clock commitment. Careful management of diabetes can reduce your risk of serious — even life-threatening — complications.
No matter what type of diabetes you have:
Lifestyle for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
In addition, if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes:
Above all, stay positive. The good habits you adopt today can help you enjoy an active, healthy life with diabetes.
Numerous substances have been shown in some studies to improve insulin sensitivity, yet other studies have failed to find any benefit for blood sugar control or in lowering A1C levels. Because of the conflicting findings, no alternative therapies are currently recommended for diabetes control. Some of the substances that have shown promise in helping to control blood sugar include:
If you decide that you'd like to try an alternative therapy, don't stop taking the medications that your doctor has prescribed, and discuss the use of any of these therapies with your doctor to be sure that they won't cause adverse reactions or interact with your current therapy.
Additionally, there are no treatments — alternative or conventional — that can cure diabetes, so it's critical that people who are on insulin therapy for diabetes don't stop using insulin unless directed to do so by their physician.
Living with diabetes can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes, even when you've done everything right, your blood sugar levels may rise. But stick with your diabetes management plan, and you'll likely see a positive difference in your A1C when you visit your doctor.
Because good diabetes management can be time-consuming, and sometimes overwhelming, some people find it helps to talk to someone. Your doctor can probably recommend a mental health professional for you to speak with, or you may want to try a support group. Sharing your frustrations and your triumphs with people who understand what you're going through can be very helpful. And you may find that others have great tips to share about diabetes management. Your doctor may know of a local support group, or you can call the American Diabetes Association at 800-DIABETES (800-342-2383) or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at 800-533-CURE (800-533-2873).
Type 1 diabetes can't be prevented. However, the same healthy lifestyle choices that help treat prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes can help prevent them.
Sometimes medication is an option as well. Oral diabetes drugs such as metformin (Glucophage, Glumetza, others) may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes — but healthy lifestyle choices remain essential.

Change it or leave it as is?
Emmit has some problems. I am considering leaving it just cause that is the way he fixed it or replacing the thing. What would you do?
Re: Change it or leave it as is?
Wow! That's a lot of weld!!! I have mixed feelings on this one. From a pure safety aspect I'd say change it. But, it's obvious that the welds have been there a long time and unless they show any signs of failure they are no doubt very strong. If you plan to work the tractor I'd say change it. If it is going to be a toy only then it obviously has a story to tell and I'd tend to leave it like it is.
If you opt to leave it, inspect it often for signs of cracking.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: Change it or leave it as is?
I don't plan on ever really working it. Just to ride around in and maybe pull a trailer sometime. I plan on putting the front and rear cultivators on it but never really plowing it.
I am really leaning on replacing that piece but just wasn't quite sure on it.
Re: Change it or leave it as is?
I agree with Big Dog on this one. It is a lot of weld, but being a ship welders son I can tell you I have seen some pretty welds that don't hold, and some that last forever. Some of that could even be cleaned up and painted over. If you don't plan on working that tractor hard then my opinion is leave it alone and inspect it often. But, all of our opinions aside it listen to your intuition. If it says replace it, then replace it. You will feel much better about it in the long run.

"Raymond Lowey"
Re: Change it or leave it as is?
The second picture shows what may well be a crack on the edge of the flange near the weld. Even with all the weld I would be leary of it holding uo, The crack could go in a different direction.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: Change it or leave it as is?
I would say split the tractor, and have the part magna fluxed. It will show if there are any cracks forming. If it is going to only be a parade tractor, I'd say it should be OK if no major cracks are forming. But even if it checks out OK, I'd locate a replacment and change it out at the first sign on problems.

Re: Change it or leave it as is?
That looks like brazing. It is a good way to repair castings, but rarely will be as strong as the unbroken casting.

Re: Change it or leave it as is?
Change it. When it breaks, even if no one is hurt, there will be additional (expensive) damage.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Change it or leave it as is?
Replace it for all the above reasons. However -- since Emmet has a history .. it would make sense to hang on to the casting.

Nina Teicholz on Why Butter & Fats Are the Keys to a Healthy Diet
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
Think you've been doing all the right things by "cooking light"? In her book The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reports that everything we thought we knew about dietary fats is wrong. For decades, we've been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fats -- especially saturated fats -- and that those of us not getting healthier or thinner aren't trying hard enough. Turns out that the very foods we've been denying ourselves are in fact the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. And it turns out the "healthy" foods you've been eating aren't so healthy after all. Hear Teicholz discuss how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community as well as our collective imaginations, and how recent findings dispute those beliefs. She'll also address audience questions and, if you stick around afterward, she'll sign your book. Learn More

Rouault's Miserere: Printed Prayers and A Century of Collage Open at the McNay
Two exhitbions focusing on works on paper open tomorrow at the McNay Art Museum.
Rouault's Miserere: Printed Prayers
May 16 | July 29, 2012
In 1916, the influential Parisian print dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard (1865-1939) commissioned Georges Rouault (1871-1958) to create a large portfolio of prints based on drawings the artist had done about the ravages of war, human folly, and salvation through Jesus Christ. Inspired by Psalm 51's opening line, "Have mercy on me, O Lord," the resulting portfolio, Miserere, is considered Rouault's masterpiece, as well as a landmark of 20th-century printmaking.
The content of the images have led many scholars to characterize Miserere as the artist's prayer for the salvation of humanity in a tumultuous time scarred by two world wars. When the portfolio was finally published in 1948. Miserere was instantly recognized and celebrated as one of the greatest achievements in 20th-century graphic arts. For the first time in over 20 years, the entire suite is on view at the McNay.
A Century of Collage
May 16 | September 2, 2012
In the 19th century, before the emergence of the term collage, gluing together bits of paper tickets, photographs, printed texts, and other ephemera-was largely a craft, a technique used for scrapbooks and other domestic memorabilia. In the early 20th century, however, artists like Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso glued together papers, turning the humble medium into fine art. The collage was born. Among the earliest of fine art collages is the McNay's Guitar and Wine Glass made by Picasso in 1912.
A Century of Collage celebrates 100 years of the fine art of pasting paper on paper by examining different ways artists have used it, from the pioneering work of Picasso, to the cool, geometric abstraction of Burgoyne Diller, and the highly conceptual Violent Space Series by John Baldessari. Other artists included are John Fraser, Eileen Gray, Fannie Hillsmith, Lee Krasner, and Robert Motherwell.
These exhibitions were organized by the McNay.
Funding is generously provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment, and the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions.
The McNay
Built by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay in the 1920s, the Spanish Colonial Revival residence opened as Texas's first museum of modern art in 1954. Today more than 100,000 visitors a year enjoy works by modern masters including Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, & Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In June 2008, the museum opened the 45,000-square-foot Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions designed by internationally renowned French architect Jean-Paul Viguier. Nearly doubling the McNay's exhibition space, the Stieren Center includes three separate outdoor sculpture galleries.
Tuesday-Friday, 10 am-4 pm;
Thursday, 10 am-9 pm*;
Saturday, 10 am-5 pm;
Sunday, noon-5 pm.
The McNay is closed on Mondays, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
*Free general admission from 4 to 9 pm.
Admission to the McNay ranges from $8 to $15 ( for adults) and $5 to $12 for (students, seniors and active military) depending on the exhibitions and galleries on view. Please visit www.mcnayart.org for current admission prices. Entrance to Main Collection Galleries is FREE on H-E-B Thursday Nights(4-9pm) and on AT&T First Sundays of the Month. During FREE times there Is an optional admission charge that applies only for entrance to special exhibitions.

4 ARKANSAS ALUMNUS TWENTY YEARS AGO! Brooks Hays Can't Believe He Has Been Out of School That Long Mr. and Mrs. Hays, Betty Brook [sic] and Steele [photograph caption] Dear Editor: Your letter says "twenty years since graduation". I don't believe you! If you are right, I am an old man. If someone out of school that long had come back for a visit in the year I entered the University, he would have graduated without having heard of William Jennings Bryan. (Check that off; no politics in this letter). Looking back on the twenty years, it seems like a roller coaster ride. The first ten, 1919-29, were whirling dizzy years with no sense of location or direction; and then the depression, with a long descent and a lot of readjustments for all of us. But undimmed by rises and descents is the memory of under-graduate years. I saw the University towers from a Frisco train in September, 1915, and the towers from that day on symbolized the University experience. Marion Prather (whom I met at a Periclean party on December 4, 1915, and married on February 2, 1922), says if I had been Wordsworth, the lines would read: "My heart leaps up when I behold those towers in the sky." We didn't leave Fayetteville often in those days. There were occasional football trains to Fort Smith, but no farther. A Model-T Ford could go from Fayetteville to Mountainberg in five hours, but that was nothing to worry about because no students had Model-T's or any other kind of car. No one had ever heard of radio, or Lindbergh, or Coolidge, and only a few knew that Dr. Brough was planning to run for governor "next summer". Though mostly absorbed with campus affairs, we found time to do as students of every age have done-to dream of conquests to follow graduation. The world, for most of us, was "South of Winslow". Few foresaw the movement into North and East of Arkansas students joining the three million emigrants going out of the South to find better opportunities than could be offered here, but now there is every reason to believe a large number of college men and women will find satisfying careers at home. What can the University do to add to the possibilities? Let me offer a layman's thought regarding educational policy. The entire system of higher education feels the impact of many economic and social changes, and it is apparent that policies and curricula must accordingly be changed. These can and must be changed without impairing teaching standards that have made University of Arkansas graduates skillful in their respective fields. Skill must be accompanied, however, by an awareness of what is taking place in government and social organization. This looks like an exciting enterprise for educators. The new difficulties that confront American democracy require a slight reshaping of educational methods and there is every assurance that it will be accomplished. First, we should have an outright recognition of the fact that the economic system must be made to function for the benefit of the whole population. This involves mental discipline not only to save us from the wild schemes of the Utopians but also to chart the course in democratic fashion for security (Continued on Page 13)

Statement by Secretary Johnson on President Obama's Intent to Nominate Two DHS Senior Leadership Positions
I am pleased that President Obama has announced his intent to nominate Sarah Saldaña to be Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Russell Deyo to be Under Secretary for Management—two vital leadership positions at the Department of Homeland Security. Ms. Saldaña and Mr. Deyo are outstanding nominees who have experience working in both the public and private sectors and I urge the Senate to move expeditiously on their confirmation.

FORT WORTH — Xitclalli Vasquez wrote a letter to the man who changed her life. She hopes her words will change his life, too.
"I wanted to know what he do [sic] that day," said the nine-year-old. "Did he remember how it happened?"
Xitclalli is in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down She is unable to wrestle with her four brothers and sisters like she used to. She wrote:
- There are days that I cry cause I can't do what I used to do.
It happened July 9, 2011, days before Xitclalli celebrated her eighth birthday. The girl — with her aunt, sister and nephew — had just spent the day at North East Mall in Hurst getting haircuts. The girls got manicures. It was day packed with fun.
- I was excited to show my family my nails and haircut.
But on their way home, Jeremy Solis slammed into their car at the corner of 28th Street and Sylvania Avenue in Fort Worth.
- I don't remember the first severals days. I could not talk so I had to use my thumb to answer Yes or No.
Police said Solis was driving drunk — his blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
- There are days that are bad because I have hard time getting around.
"It's a challenge to have a daughter with a disability — especially when a year-and-a-half ago she was walking," said the girl's mother, Arabella Vasquez. "I think that's what hurts the most."
Xitclalli's mom read her daughter's letter to Solis Monday in a Tarrant County courtroom after Solis pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
"She has a great heart," said her mom. "She wanted to see the turnaround. Is he sorry for what he did?"
The girl's words made an impact on the judge, other people in the courtroom — and Solis.
- Look at what I said and the words I said and tell me how I look and feel. How do you feel today?
Xitclalli saw his tears, and so did her family.
"I did see him cry several times," Mrs. Vasquez said. "Honestly, I do feel that he had some remorse."
For the family, the focus now is helping Xitclalli get better. The girl has years of therapy ahead of her.
"She's so strong, and she hasn't given up," said her mom. "I have hope, and I believe she we will walk again."
And so does Xitclalli Vasquez. The 4th grader wants her dream to come true.
"To walk so I can be a doctor," she said.
News 8 wanted to talk to Jeremy Solis, but he turned down our request for an interview.

Shut Down
Cassie has shut rumors down and made it clear that she's not engaged. Well, she made it clear in a now deleted Instagram post that read, "I NEED MORE." The caption that followed read, "Like wayyyyy more. Happy & in love - not engaged :)" We're not sure why she took it down and we don't think that there's any type of publicity stunt going on. We'll just assume that the ring was a great gift from Diddy to his girlfriend and leave it there.

Great. Another one of my late fantasy pickups banished...GREAT.
He is worth the trouble. We could only wish our WR corps was as good as theirs. We build by character which I believe in, but how can you blame them for dealing with a guy with these type of skills. He is a good WR and would be great if he could keep his head on straight. They'll take what they can get out of him though.
Boy, the Bengals sure are doing their best to set the record for most players sent to the clink in one year, aren't they?What a bunch of goons.The real question to ask is, did the Bengals literally draft that many time bombs, or is the coach just waaaay to lax on them, and his approach to how they should behave?I guess the Bengals took the athleticism over anything else. Either that, or the Cincy Police Department isn't ANYTHING to mess with...

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

I would say Nagato, Konan, Kisame, and Itachi
I'd say Konan,Itachi and Nagato. Konan fought Tobi till the very end and she almost killed him hadn't he used Izanagi. She died an honorable death,fighting for her beliefs and continuing Yahiko's and Nagato's will. Nagato died god-like after reviving the dead shinobi. Itachi's death was somehow a salvation for him as he lived his whole life considered to be a traitor and hated by his brother. He died as the hero of Konoha who sacrificed everything for the sake of the village.
Now the death i didn't like was Deidara's. Poor him, he used his most ultimate,devastating technique and he got trolled by Sasuke who was hiding inside Manda. :D

That would make my day :D I miss hm
Originally Posted by AnimeIsPerfection

Jks, definately would have to go with Deidara and his epic, artistic death Art is an explosion after all
Kisame. Never got influenced by talk no jutsu and he was loyal to Akatsuki until the very end.
and Itachi. swallowed all the hate throughout his life, but was never moved to actually being evil until the very end.
The death i liked the best was of Itachi
Itachi. His final fight was cool
Konan and Itachi
Kisame had the best in my opinion but I did like how Konan died
I wonder why no one came back to put Hidan's head back on his body....
Itachi's death was the best especially the last fight
nagato, sacrificed himself to revive everyone in konoha thanks to naruto's talk no jutsu
gotta give this one to Kisame, Konan and Nagato.
Sasori- Died and let her grandma win and had his parents hug him in the very end.
Deidara- Died with an EXPLOSION. True Art
Itachi- Died as a martyr, living behind the shadows and acted with his own intentions.
Nagato- Died passing on his dreams to Naruto, saved most of the diseased in konoha.
Konan- Fought tobi and gaved him a very very hard time lol. Stood for what she believed in. Rainbow after 6 million paper explosives i think.
Kisame-Faked death, got intel, and eaten by sharks. What more can u ask for?
Hidan and Kakazu well..
yeah kisames is the best
Itachi = Died to protect his brother from orochimaru and to make his brother stronger
Kisame of course
Originally Posted by Ldude
Sasori's and Konan's deaths. Konan, because she died fighting for what she believed in...and she made a rainbow. Sasori because he died on purpose to have his parents hug him.
1. YAHIKO (yeah right, he was the one who found akatsuki and he was the first leader )
2. Nagato
3. Itachi
4. Konan
5. Kisame
6. Sasori
pain (not nagato) had the best death. showed all he could do, gave kyuubi a run of his money, destroyed a city, made a mini moon. shit was beast
Itachi = Died to protect his brother from orochimaru and to make his brother stronger
lived encouraging sasuke to go to orochimaru for power and drove him insane. his death let all of itachis enemies basically have fair game on sasukes head
Itachi's death was somehow a salvation for him as he lived his whole life considered to be a traitor and hated by his brother. He died as the hero of Konoha who sacrificed everything for the sake of the village.
wut? itachi was an evil sociopath who made everything much worse for his village. he commited mass genocide and shoved a sword in his own mother's chest then mindraped his own brother repeatedly in order to get sasuke to murder innocent people. itachi ran his whole life from his duty which is why he saw death as a release. if the crimes he committed were heroic and righteous he wouldnt be begging for death's release to finally come. he was basically like nnoitora from bleach or a spartan. he fought and kept fighting in the hopes someone would appear powerful enough to kill him. and he made sure that person was his own poor brother. forced to slaughter the only family he has left, believing itachi to be evil. thats the worst thing you could do to your own brother. what kind of hero helps the enemy capture and murder 7 innocent jinchurikis with the intent to use them to start world war? if itachi wanted to prevent an akatsuki victory he would have done alot more to oppose them, maybe gather under his banner an army of his own.

Investing in a Quality Roof
A brand new roof is a vital investment. Despite the hefty price tag, investing in a quality roof can actually be an extra reasonably priced possibility in the lengthy term. Indeed, the standard of your roof can have a big affect on the lifetime value, initial set up costs, and the upkeep cost. Whereas the urge to go together with the cheapest possibility could be troublesome to beat, it is always advisable to consider the long run implications of saving at the preliminary installation stage.
Initial Set up
The early costs of your roof are decided by the labor and materials charges. Ideally, you'll want to get a minimal of 3 estimates from local roofing contractors earlier than you proceed with investing in a new roof. You will want to get references, and each time attainable view examples of the roofer's past jobs. Hiring a skilled roofing contractor will repay in the lengthy run. Generally talking the most certified, professional roofers will charge extra, but these costs will often be mirrored within the quality and life span of your new roof.
As well as, investing in a high quality roof means you'll want to get the right answer in your home. Relying on the climate in your region, totally different materials shall be utilized by your roofing contractor. For instance, because of threat of rot and mould, wooden shakes are probably not the only option in wet climates, whereas asphalt shingles make for a sturdy roof in nearly any climate.
Also, homeowners should be conscious that preliminary roofing quotes do not usually include changing rotted roofing materials. Whereas most professionals are prepared to interchange a few of the plywood construction of your roof, if damage is extensive, your roofing costs will increase. Nevertheless, it is very important install a roof properly with sound materials in order for you that roof to last.
Maintenance Prices
All roofs are associated with upkeep costs. Especially in areas with a whole lot of inclement climate, there will be the need to repair leaks and change materials once in a while during the lifetime of the roof. By investing in a high quality roof, you may cut the maintenance prices significantly. So whereas the preliminary price tag of the construction could also be a deterrent, you should weigh your resolution at the least partly on the long term costs. Your roofing contractor should enable you select the perfect roof for you house to be able to reduce long run maintenance costs.
A Obligatory Expense
Roof substitute is a crucial expense for all homeowners at one time or another. Ultimately, your roof will need a minimum of minor repairs, but after 25 or so years you'll have to accept the need for a new roof. By investing in quality at the get go, you may actually save yourself money in the future. Even when a roofing contractor provides you an unbeatable worth, you need to take some time to ask yourself what sacrifices to high quality must be made to avoid wasting on installation.

Jamie Foxx Ding Dong SNL skit video: Foxx may have deal with Hostess after Saturday Night Live
Jamie Foxx not only had "Saturday Night Live" viewers raving about his appearance on the December 8 broadcast, but his second hosting gig on the show may have also led to a new deal with Hostess.
The news about Hostess Brands' sudden bankruptcy and closure has caused snack fans everywhere to panic about the demise of the Twinkie, and on Saturday Foxx weighed in with "SNL's" Seth Meyers as an "out-of-the-box" character - a Hostess Ding Dong.
Extravagantly outfitted as the cream-filled chocolate cake for the "Weekend Update" segment, the Oscar-winning actor complained about all the attention given to the Twinkie, "his snack brother from another batter."
"You all act like the Twinkie is the only one with a delicious creamy filling!" Foxx exclaims in the sketch. "This is snack profiling!"
Foxx says his sassy personification of the snack cake not only caught the attention of "SNL" aficionados, but also Hostess Brands. At the premiere of his new movie, "Django Unchained," the actor revealed to CNN that Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn approached him about collaborating after seeing the sketch.
"The Ding Dong sketch was so funny that actually the CEO of Hostess sent us a letter and said he wants to get with us," Foxx told CNN. "We're going to take that further, we're going to shoot 'Behind the Ding Dong,' and we're going to do this whole musical thing. But what we want to do is get a commemorative Ding Dong, and we'll sell it, and we'll give the money to charity."
Foxx's rep confirmed that the actor is in talks with Hostess Brands, adding that there are no additional details. Hostess tells CNN that Rayburn did contact Foxx to say that he enjoyed the skit, but added nothing further at this time.
