PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.- The Charlotte County Sheriff's helicopter crew was instrumental in catching three burglars that were breaking into a Whidden Industrial Park business last night. The helicopter was the first Sheriff's unit on scene of the burglary call and from the air saw three men running from the business and jump into a car to escape. The car turned its headlights off to evade capture, but the helicopter is equipped with night vision and infra-red cameras; even with the lights off the car was completely visible to the helicopter crew.
The pilot and observer directed the responding patrol cars right to the fleeing car and the three burglars were taken into custody. The burglars would have had a good chance at escape had it not been for the helicopter and its crew.
Sheriff Bill Cameron said, "This is just one great example of having the right tools for the job. Sometimes unknowing critics question why we have an air support unit at the Sheriff's Office. This is just one recent example of exactly why we need this invaluable police tool."
The 17-year-old juvenile driver, his 15-year-old brother, both from Fort Myers, and Vincent Lamar Williams, 20, of Lehigh Acres, were arrested. Detectives are still looking for a fourth suspect. While being questioned, deputies located a burglary at B&M Auto Group, 4127 James Street in the area where the subjects were seen. Crimes Scene was notified and collected evidence at the burglary site. The teenage brothers were booked into the Charlotte County Jail and then transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Fort Myers. Williams remains in jail on $27,500 bond.
This is the second time in as many weeks the aviation unit made an apprehension. Last week, the helicopter spotted and pursued a dangerously low flying aircraft flying at night over Port Charlotte's hospital area. Once the airplane pilot landed the plane, he was instantly arrested for dangerous operation of an aircraft in violation of FAA regulations.

President Joseph E. Aoun declared that Northeastern is stronger than ever, recognized the accomplishments of "unsung heroes" in the university community, and revealed the outcome of the Northeastern GO student co-op contest.
University photographers explored campus to document the beauty of Northeastern University in the fall.
An international research team led by Dan Distel, director of the Ocean Genome Legacy at Northeastern University, has discovered a novel digestive strategy in a wood-boring clam. The breakthrough, the researchers say, may also be a game-changer for the industrial production of clean biofuels.
Northeastern students from countries across the globe shared a meal together and learned about the American holiday's history and traditions at the International Student and Scholar Institute's annual Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday.
Madeline Heising, the food blogger and self-proclaimed "collegiate vegan," plans to fill her Thanksgiving dinner plate with heaping portions of green beans, maple roasted carrots, and candied cranberries. Oven-roasted turkey - the iconic symbol of the holiday feast - will be conspicuously absent.
Northeastern University convened a roundtable on higher education on Thursday afternoon, bringing together local university leaders and U.S. Department of Education Under Secretary Ted Mitchell, whose campus visit also included a discussion with students and young alumni.

Need appetizer for Italian dinner I am making - but no cheese, bread, etc.
- Clare K Sep 15, 2006 06:26 PM
I'm making a seafood pasta and garlic bread and salad for a dinner I'm having, and need an appetizer. But, I've got a friend coming who doesn't eat cheese or beef or chicken, plus half the group dislikes olives.
I don't want to serve anything that requires bread, since we're doing a carb heavy dinner.
I've thought of marinated sardines but that might be too much for some of the pickier eaters.
Any ideas?
Can you find fresh gnocchi at a local Italian deli? Gnocchi is delicious when it's cooked and then browned in butter with some herbs. They might not have thought about eating it that way, and it's delish. Maybe with a non-cheese pesto sauce. Just a few gnocchi go a long way.
You could also try to find bouquerones, but like you said, some folks eschew anchovies and sardines.
Something "en brodo" (in broth) would be nice. Go to foodnetwork.com and type en brodo in their recipe search engine. You'll get (mostly) Mario Batalli versions. Generally, depending on what's IN the brodo, it's a fairly light but very satisfying dish that makes a great appetizer.
Does it have to be Italian? What about baba ganoush or houmous with crudite? I suppose that's too pre-dinner...
Crab cakes with mango salsa?
Some eggplant caponata thing?
How about a simple platter of prosciutto and a few different salumi? You said no cheese, beef or chicken but not pork.
I love MuppetGrrl's gnocchi idea, but technically that would make two pasta courses (gnocchi counts as a pasta in the Italian progression) and it may be too much starch for your group as well. I'd also avoid any seafood appetizer since you are having a seafood pasta.
Another idea would be some kind of soup, either hot or cold depending on the weather and what you will be making it with. Cold gazpacho or a cucumber yogurt soup are more summery, or you could do a warm butternut squash/sage soup on a cooler evening.
re: farmersdaughter
An antipasti platter lets people choose what they want. Fill it with roasted vegetables, various salumi, some cheese (there must be some people who like it), artichoke hearts etc. You can buy everything ready to eat at any good Italian deli.
re: Main Line Tracey
Along these same lines, you could do asparagus spears wrapped with proscuitto -- serve some of the asparagus spears plain if there are those who don't like meat.
Cantaloupe or Honeydew melon with prosciutto would be nice especially since it requires no cooking, and the melons are in season.

re: Marge
I recently served roasted zucchini marinated in olive oil, vinegar, anchovy, and garlic, and it was a huge hit. Great because you're supposed to make it ahead and let it sit overnight. This is the recipe I used. You can marinate roasted eggplant, too:
The anchovy gets all mushed up and adds flavor without being off-putting to picky eaters, though I may not be the best person to judge since I love anchovies.
re: Marge
My recipe for this is to throw some red (or yellow or orange) bells on a hot grill, turning them until they blister black all around. Usually takes about 15 min or so. In the winter I use the gas stovetop putting the peppers right on the flame.
I then put them into a paper bag which I roll up tight to steam. When cool, I peel the blackened skins off by hand and slice into strips. Then I marinate in very good EVOO with a cleaned salt-packed anchovy pounded in a mortar with garlic and kosher salt before serving. Will last in the frig for at least a few days too.
I'm making the last caprese of the season tomorrow night with a fresh ceamy oozy burrata, riper than ripe tomatoes from the farmers' market, and my own extra pungent (late in the season) basil. Drizzled with a little good olive oil and sprinkled with maldon sea salt, it's a nice way to say goodbye to the summer. sob.
re: yumyum
Ooooops. You said no cheese.
Well, I'm still making it! Sorry.
Walnuts in Parmesan Butter
Fried Chickpeas
Marinated Mushrooms
White Bean Dip or Aioli with Crudites
Pickled eggplant or zucchini
Corn Fritters
Deviled Eggs with anchovies and capers
Heirloom Tomatoes with basil and olive oil
-What salad are you serving?
re: monkeyrotica
Yum, this a great suggestion for pasta dish!
What about roasted garlic- maybe some roasted peppers too? And some white bean dip. you could serve with pita crisps which are light.
Bagna Cauda? (means "hot bath")
It's like a fondue, except instead of cheese, there's a little pot of warm dip made from garlic, butter, olive oil and anchovies.
Your guests then spear little bits of raw vegetables and then dip them in the strong, warm sauce. It's all pureed so people won't even know they're eating anchovies...
Recipe link: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec...
re: frenetica
I was just going to suggest that! Before I went veg, this was my treat meal...
bagna cauda is wonderful
as is FRYING!
A quick dip in flour/cornstarch mixture seasoned with s + p, followed by a dip in eggs beaten with a little milk or water
cauliflower, sage leaves, lemon peel, zucchini and sweet potato chips
And of course a few onions
I only do this stuff when eating with a group . . . totally addictive.
Use a nice deep pot to fry in to avoid spatter.
Salt immediately out of the fryer, and serve/eat right away.
If you want a different carb - and something you can make ahead of time - the farinata in Bittman's book is great -- it was discussed quite a bit on this board. It's an easy bready thing made of chick pea flour.
This Italian spread has been a huge hit & I always serve it before pasta meals:
cook some shallots and a diced zucchini or 2 in butter and olive oil with salt, pepper and fresh rosemary. When the zucchini's pretty soft, add a can of drained canelli beans and a little water. Cook all until the zucchini is very soft, then mash the mixture with a potato masher (add water or olive oil or a little lemon juice for taste/texture and some finely chopped parsely). Serve cold or room temp with salami, crackers, crutites, etc.
I also second the idea of a fennel salad, sliced thin, mixed with watercress and/or parsely and/or walnuts, dressed with olive oil & lemon and some ribbons of parmesean cheese.
In boca a lupo!
re: niki rothman
Thanks for all your suggestions. I ended up doing a cheese plate for everyone else (since only one guest has the dietary restrictions), and sliced avocado for her. Plus had cornichons, tomatoes and roasted red peppers. I served Penne a la Vodka and garlic bread and tricolored salad for the dinner. Yes, the penne had a splash of cream, but the one girl didn't notice (she's not allergic, just picky!). Made a white peach tart for dessert :)

"A story about becoming human, being recognized, finally recognizing oneself. . . . It fills the reader with hope." —The Washington Post Book World
The discussion questions, suggested reading, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group's reading of Karen Armstrong's memoir The Spiral Staircase: My Climb Out of Darkness.
Karen Armstrong, the writer who has introduced thousands of readers to the world's great religions, now tells the story of one of the most difficult periods of her own life. At the age of seventeen, driven by a strong yearning to connect with God, she entered a Roman Catholic convent in England. She emerged seven years later in 1969, having failed in her quest for a spiritual life, to begin anew in a world now alive with antiwar activism, the music of the Beatles, and the counterculture. While pursuing degrees in literature at Oxford, she struggled to find a place for herself but was overwhelmed by feelings of alienation and despair. At times she experienced frightening symptoms that eventually led to a diagnosis of epilepsy. When her plans for an academic career went awry, she set out upon an independent path, writing books about theology. It was only through this pursuit that, years later, she arrived at a kind of spiritual fulfillment.
Deeply honest, thoughtful, and full of hope, The Spiral Staircase is a moving odyssey of a writer's search for God and for herself.
1. Of convent life, Armstrong writes, "We lived together in community, cheek by jowl, but were so lonely that we might as well have been living in solitary confinement" [p. 26]. She notes as well "the emotional frigidity of our lives" and the fact that "friendship was frowned upon" [p. xvi]. She says, "I entered in 1962 as an ardent, idealistic, untidy, unrealistic, and immature teenager, and left seven years later, having suffered a mild breakdown, obscurely broken and damaged" [p. xi]. What principle was behind the goal of making the convent a punitive, cold environment rather than a life-affirming one?
2. Armstrong writes, "I was . . . convinced that I had embarked on a spiritual quest, an epic adventure, in the course of which I would lose the confusions of my adolescent self in the infinite and ultimately satisfying mystery that we call God" [p. viii]. How authentic was Armstrong's desire to become a nun? In retrospect, how might her spiritual urge have been channeled more positively?
3. On her emergence from the convent into the vastly changed social world of 1969, Armstrong felt alien and lost. She writes, "I did feel in exile from everything that made sense. Because I could take nothing for granted, and did not know how to interpret the sixties world that had come into being during my absence, I too felt that the world had no meaning. . . . I felt spiritually dizzy, lacking all sense of direction and not knowing where to turn" [p. 24]. Having lived for seven years in a system based on strict obedience, she finds herself amidst a culture of rebellion. Does she rebel against her past in small ways? How does she learn to think for herself?
4. Among Armstrong's chief reasons for leaving the convent was her daily difficulty with prayer and meditation: "I never had what seemed to be an encounter with anything supernatural, with a being that existed outside myself. I never felt caught up in something greater, never felt personally transfigured by a presence that I encountered in the depths of my being. . . . So, even in the convent, God had been conspicuous by his absence from my life" [pp. 42–3]. How did she interpret this failure to engage in the most central act of religious life? What might have been the reasons for her inability to pray?
5. How did the Hart family—and particularly Jacob—help Karen in reentering the world? What do she and Jacob have in common, and how do they help each other?
6. Karen and her friend Rebecca both suffer from anorexia. Her psychiatrist Dr. Piet tells her, "You've never been in love; you don't want to look like a woman. . . . You're still to an extent living in a convent, one of your own making. Both you and Rebecca are using all these repressed emotions to punish yourselves" [p. 108]. In his adherence to a strictly Freudian methodology, Dr. Piet is often off the mark. Does his analysis, in this case, seem correct about Karen and Rebecca? How does Karen eventually overcome her tendency toward self-punishment?
7. The book is inspired by T. S. Eliot's Ash-Wednesday [see pp. xxi-xxii]. How do Armstrong's thoughts about spirituality and depression resonate with the poem? What are the particular lessons learned from the poem, and what is the nature of the gift it makes to her [see pp. 139–44]?
8. Dr. Piet's approach to Armstrong's frightening symptoms—which he calls her "'interesting' psychic states"—is anything but sympathetic [pp. 122–23]. When she attempts suicide, he believes that she is acting in anger against him "whereas in reality, he was nowhere near as crucial to me as he seemed to imagine" [p. 126]. What are Armstrong's thoughts and theories about why psychiatry didn't help her [pp. 143–44]?
9. What is the irony of Armstrong's sense of God's presence in the midst of her epileptic seizure in the Baker Street subway station [p. 178]? Why did she consider the diagnosis of epilepsy "an occasion of pure happiness" [p. 182]?
10. How does Armstrong's performance on the pilot for the BBC film The Body of Christ free her to speak her mind [p. 220]? Why, when she speaks about the ages-old anti-female bias of the Church, does she feel "elated" [p. 221]?
11. Armstrong's study of Paul and his Jewish context is an intellectual breakthrough. How does her journey to Israel and the Middle East change her perspective on herself?
12. Given what she says about being "able to feel the pain of other human beings" for the first time in years, it seems that the drugs stabilizing her epilepsy allow Armstrong to have an emotional breakthrough as well [pp. 258–59]. What does she learn about the importance of feeling and acknowledging her own suffering [p. 272]?
13. Armstrong notes, "In deciding to write about God, I knew that I was setting off on a lonely path." So she puts her struggle with faith in the context of quest mythology: "[The hero] must venture into the darkness of the unknown, where there is no map and no clear route. He must fight his own monsters, not somebody else's, explore his own labyrinth, and endure his own ordeal before he can find what is missing in his life" [p. 268]. How does this realization provoke Armstrong to make a choice that others insist is a mistake? Why is this among the book's most important insights?
14. What is important about "the habit of empathy" [pp. 272, 274]? Consider Armstrong's ideas about "editing out ego" and ecstasy [pp. 278–79], as well as her statement that "We are most creative and sense other possibilities that transcend our ordinary experience when we leave ourselves behind" [p. 279].
15. Why was her study of Muhammad, of all her books, the one that provoked "a kind of ecstasy" [p. 279]? Why did the events of September 11, 2001 change her thinking once again [p. 303]? How does she see Islam in relation to Islamic
16. How are silence and solitude transformed for Armstrong as she works on A History of God? What does she mean when she says, "Silence itself had become my teacher" [p. 284]?
17. Can you relate to Armstrong's spiritual journey? How is it similar to or different from your own? Is the struggle to come to terms with religious truth a universal one?

Creating mixed-income communities has become one popular policy response to the social isolation and economic and public sector disinvestment that characterize high-poverty neighborhoods in most urban areas. The objective is to attract residents with higher incomes while maintaining affordable and public housing for lower income residents. It is hoped that, through this strategy, housing developments and perhaps entire neighborhoods can be created that provide strong networks to employment and other resources beyond the neighborhood, more effective demand for high quality amenities and public services, and positive role models for youth.
Mixed-Income Development in Chicago: Case Studies
We know very little about the impact on residents of living in a mixed-income development, or of how they differ from public housing residents living in other housing circumstances. This research projects focuses on investigating the strategies and effectiveness of strategies used to build community in mixed-income developments, residents' experiences in a mixed income development, and the impact of mixed-income developments on residents' lives.

Jazz on the Boulevard Case Study
This research project is a long-term case study of Jazz on the Boulevard, one of the first planned mixed-income developments being created as part of the CHA 's 1999 Plan for Transformation. In-depth, qualitative interviews of residents, service providers and developers, and a comparison group of individuals describe what motivated residents to choose to live in a mixed-income development, their perception of the neighborhood 's role in their lives, how the development effects social capital, networks, and social organizations, and what roles various members of the community play.

Faith-Based Mentoring Demonstration Evaluation
The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development selected the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) as one of the three sites nationally to implement a mentoring demonstration program. The goal of this program is to test a means of providing additional support for public housing residents who have been relocated as part of a HOPE VI redevelopment by partnering residents with mentors who are recruited through faith-based and community-based organizations. This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of the program, explore experiences of participants, and the perspectives of mentors and staff members of participating institutions.

However it could be bad news I am afraid. From the same page:
Whenever I have had this issue I have cut my losses and either re-installed Windows from CD or re-imaged the station using Ghost.If you try to perform a Repair operation from the Windows XP CD-ROM, the Windows installation is not detected and you cannot repair Windows.
I suggest you move to SP3 as soon as you can [if you are not planning to migrate to Windows7]

I appreciated Dan Black's low key sales method & pressure free style. He answered my questions, and didn't mind my driving several different vehicles till I decided. Dan worked hard to make sure I got the best fit for what I needed and wanted. He was very relaxed about my indecision. The best part of Dan's assistance, he got answers to my questions for the few items he wasn't sure about. Then Auto Max worked diligently to get the price scaled to fit my budget. They wanted to make sure they were part of my family, and will continue to service my car in the future. I don't change dealerships often, but when I am treated right I tell the world. I would recommend Dan Black as a salesman and friend to anyone? I hope the Service Center can continue the good relationship set as a precedence by the sales and finance team.

Potato Salad Recipe
I'll get to the recipe, but first... I posted something about resistant starch in another part of the forum, but there wasn't much response. More people seem to hang out here so I decided to try posting here. (This is not about the resistant corn or wheat starch that you buy.)
I have read a lot of what has been posted on this forum about resistant starch. Some of it was on the technical side, I'm a humble high school grad so hope we can keep things simple.
Resistant starch can be man-made as in Dreamfields pasta, or some foods like potatoes and beans contain differing amounts of it.
Most people cannot digest resistant starch in their small intestine (which is where glucose absorption occurs). The resistant starch then travels to the large intestine while not raising the blood sugar level. That's great for Diabetics, but also good for anyone who is eating low carb, plus studies show that among other things, resistant starch can increase the bodys ability to burn fat. It can also improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, more good news for Diabetics.
Some people are 'retrograding' the starch in potatoes to resistant starch. Boiling the potatoes whole kicks the resistant starch factor up several notches, and new potatoes already contain more resistant starch than, say, Idaho potatoes, so many of these people are using new potatoes for this. On at least one Diabetes forum, they have done their own experiments with it, with amazing results. I did a test of my own. I ate 1/2 cup of potato salad made with retrograded potatoes and here are my blood sugar readings:
Before eating - 104
1 hour - 107
2 hours - 92
If you don't know anything about Diabetes, let me tell you these numbers are amazing. 1/2 cup of potato salad that has not been retrograded would take my blood sugar well up over 150 or 175.
Wash some new potatoes (skins on), cover with water, put on the lid, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes or until tender but not mushy. The potatoes must be cooled slowly. Remove from heat, pour off the water, leave the lid on and let cool on the counter until room temp. This could take a few hours. You can make the potato salad once they are room temperature, or wait until later. Place the spuds in the fridge (and don't eat) for 24 hours. You can make the potato salad any time during the 24 hour period. Leaving the skins on provides more fiber. That's all there is to it. (Reheating retrograded potatoes makes the starch revert back, so don't reheat.)
WOW!! it's too bad this can't be done with other foods. I'd like to hear more on this.
This is very interesting! Where did you learn about it? Potato salad is perhaps the one starchy thing I miss most, and rutabagas, cauliflower, etc., just are not decent stand-ins for me!
CAUTION...If you are new to this WOE!!!
Yes, sounds VERY interesting! I would recommend that anyone WITHOUT a blood sugar tester, NOT venture into these waters, until you know how it will effect you - everyone's bodies react differently. I have TWO, so will be trying very soon (for the sake of science, of course!) It amazes me how we all learn something new from the EXPERTS on this board every day !
Widget, you're the best! only a "high school grad"? I know people that have their Doctorates and don't know their rear from a hole in the ground! So, YOU GO GIRL! Keep the "scientific knowledge" coming! We all learn so much from each other! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!:love:
dianafoot, I first learned about this from the Diabetes forum I mentioned. I did some searching on the web for more info. There is a lot of info. out there about resistant starch, but I could find little on how to go about retrograding the different types of food.
THELOU, other foods can be retrograded. I know that rice must be cooked and cooled, cooked and cooled, cooked and cooled, but I don't know the exact process. It seems like a lot of effort for rice that must be eaten cold (and maybe overcooked?). Some beans (and probably other starchy veggies) can be retrograded, but how many of those do we want to eat cold? I'm just glad to know it can be done with potatoes.
It seems the starch is digested by the bacteria in the large intestines and the by-product of that digestion is then converted to usable energy by the cells of the large intestines.
Does that mean we use less absorbed energy(glucose)? Like we use alcohol or MCT instead of blood glucose?
All I know about the digestion process of resistant starch in the large intestine is that it is fermented, releasing a compliment of good bacteria and by-products that the body can use as a fuel source. It creates a beneficial short-chain fatty acid called butyrate. Butyrate may block the body's ability to burn carbohydrates. Instead the body burns both stored fat and recently consumed fat for energy.
I did a little research on the net and found that Harold McGee, the food science guru of all time, wrote about this in his book, On Food and Cooking: The Science and lore of the Kitchen (I have this book, it has fascinating information on what happens when you prepare food).
There was a really good article on it, too, on a website called "tasting menu". There it is explained that you slice and simmer the potatoes on very low heat for 30 minutes, then cool them completely. After that, you finish cooking them until they are done and refrigerate them. You can then mash them or make potato salad.
Thanks for the heads-up about this--I going to get some red potatoes and start experimenting! I will post blood sugar readings afterwards. I am VERY sensitive to carbs, so this should be interesting.
Also, slicing the potatoes, cooking 30 min. then cooking a second time sounds like a lot of cooking, I'd be afraid of ending up with mushy spuds. I don't understand why the spuds are cooked twice when once will do it.
After your test, I hope you will tell us the exact method you used, It might make a difference in your test results.
Oh this sounds so good...I am supper sensitive to carbs. Can't use the Dreamfield's pasta. I am going to try this and will report back.
ladeeda, I'm glad that you and others are going to give it a try. I'm sure we would all appreciate you guys/gals posting the results.
Sometimes I wonder why certain foods spike some people's blood sugar and not others. For example, Dreamfields pasta. Since I started eating low carb a couple of years ago, I've done plenty of experimenting with food. Dreamfields doesn't spike my blood sugar, but if it did, I would want to know why. I would cook up one serving, drain, add lots of butter and some salt and pepper. I'd test my bg before eating, then every hour after that until it went back down to where it started. That way I would be positive it was the Dreamfields that was spiking me, and not something in the pasta sauce.
I do know if you overcook or reheat the pasta, the 'resistant starch' thing won't work. In my opinion, the cooking time on the pasta box is too long. I use a timer and cook 2 to 2 1/2 minutes less than directed, and it is always done to perfection.
My Mom got me hooked on the buttered spaghetti thing, my kids grew up with it, so they love it too.
Very interesting!! I will definitely give this a try. I usually always buy red potatoes because they seem to have less carbs than other kinds.
Could you tell us the name of the diabetic forum where you
found this information? I would like to look into this. Most interesting.
thanks in advance
The name of the forum is Diabetes Forum. You won't find a lot on the site about resistant starch, but the potato salad experiments are in the 'Forum Lounge' section, the name of the thread is 'My Resistant Starch Experiment' and at the moment, that thread is on page 3.
Thanks for the info Widget. I am not able to use Dreamfields :cry: as it spikes my blood sugar....but not until about 3 hours after I've eaten it.
I'll be following this thread to learn more about the potato experiments!
So did anyone else try this experiment? Any new results to report? Very interesting.
I'm bumming, I just went shopping and forgot to put red potatoes on my list!! I really wanted to try this too. :(
Very interesting! I may try this some time. DH has a BG meter I can use.
Buttoni, I'm pretty sure that unless you have diabetes or some other type of insulin problem, you will not have a rapid rise in bg or anything showing as a response to carbs, as your body uses and makes insulin properly, unlike somebody who does have diabetes, whereas their body doesn't use or make enough insulin and will have a rise in bg after eating carbs. I think a lot of people don't realize that unless you have a medical problem with insulin you will not have the same type of response as someone who does.
Unless I misunderstood and you're going to be using the meter to test your husbands bg if he has disabetes, in that case I apologize for rambling on and on about it. :p
No, I actually meant myself, Gina. I'm not diabetic; DH is T2. I was meaning to run a test on ME before and 1, 2 hours after eating normally boiled potatoes. Then on another occasion, doing the retrograded potatoes per instructions and testing ME before eating and 1,2 hours after, to see if the so-called retrograding effort makes any difference for me.
You would do better to test your DH, as it would be more telling. Like I said, if you have normal insulin levels you will not have a response either way because your body makes and uses insulin the way it's suppose to. When you eat carbs your body releases the amount of insulin that's needed, your DH on the other hand would have a spike in bg when eating carbs.
If I were insulin resistant (which I don't know), there would be an effect on BG, would there not? In that case, all the insulin in the world, then, wouldn't do its job, right?
If insulin resistance exists, more insulin needs to be secreted by the pancreas. If this compensatory increase does not occur, blood glucose concentrations increase and type 2 diabetes occurs.
Usually for type 2 you can control it by diet, exercise, weight loss and oral medications. If it's not controlled by those, then you would need insulin injections.
I was just trying to say, if you haven't been diagnosed with any insulin problems you wouldn't see any spikes of bg when testing. Your body makes and uses insulin so your bg maintains a normal level.
This is very interesting. I'm hypoglycemic from foods I'm allergic too. If I ate a potato my bs would be about 26. It's what they've done playing with our foods. I know most of them but not all. My woe is also a health journey.
I would really love to hear the results.
I haven't had the time or inclination to research this on the web (I don't even know whether or not this info. IS on the web.), but I have been wondering... I believe a lot of the calories in a potato come from the starch. If the potato is retrograded, and the starch passes through the small intestine without being digested, I wonder if that means retrograded potatoes have less calories than those that have not been retrograded. Any input on this?
Have you tested tried and true yet?
Anyone else tried this? I miss potatoes.
Yes, my test results are in the first post in this thread. I ate 1/2 cup and my bg readings were
Before eating - 104
1 hour - 107
2 hours - 92
Yesterday the new red potatoes at Walmart were too big for my liking, so on Wed. I'm going to the commissary and will be picking up some more. I want to test after eating one cup.
At the diabetes forum, my test results were better than the others, but I believe it is because I cooled the spuds slowly before refrigerating them (that's what all the online instructions say to do). If you do the procedure exactly as I described, I think you'll have great results.

Looks good in the photo, but the comforter is thin and "chintzy" looking (the pillows are fine. The batting is anchored in only 4 places on the comforter and shifted in shipment, resulting is much wrinkling. When placed on the bed, it just looks like a tired, rumpled bed sheet. The photographer must have spent hours with a steamer. I'm going to donate this mess.
I had ordered the Olive and was sent the white. I checked out the material and wasn't too crazy about it to reorder the Olive. So I am returning the white one and will not order the olive.
Love the design and looks beautiful on the bed. I would purchase again.
I bought the complete set for my bed room, very happy with it good quality

What we say:
Two styles of accommodation are available at the Hiep Thanh: Chinese-style hotel fare and large pink bungalows. Rooms in the hotel are over-furnished and a little frilly, with dainty framed prints and small writing tables crammed in around the large, hard beds. You may have a balcony but, like other things in the room, you'll probably find this on the small side as well. The bungalows, on the other hand, seem huge and under-furnished, with basic beds looking tiny and out of proportion in the echoing space. Everything seemed to carry a bit of a musty odour, but that could have been from recent rain. Being partly squashed in behind Cassia Cottage, the resort has a small slice of beachfront so you may find yourself fighting fellow guests for a chair. Not the worst place on the island, but you could do much better within walking distance.

Good place to saty
We stayed here a couple of years back and were going to try sea scape this time, but being no.1 on lonely planet and Travelfish tends to get you a lot of bookings, so maybe sea scape next time. The bungalows are $35 per night, and those with sea views are $50. It seems all the bungalows are going through a bit of a refurb at the moment which dresses them up quite well. They are fairly big rooms. Beach access is limited, and you did not get mattresses for the sunbeds, but it is a good stretch of beach. Staff were helpful and courteous, breakfast (included) was ok and for lunch and dinner you are better off trying restaurants on the beach. When we were there the Russians appear to have found the place. Up to you how you react to that. Mine host told us this was an October/ November thing. It is clean and comfortable and given Phu QUoc rates, reasonably priced.

Decent, Close to Beach, No Frills
The beach in front is nice and tidier than other parts of the beach. We stayed in the hotel part, not the bungalows ($35US dbl with air-con). 30 second walk to beach. The rooms were clean and basic, probably overpriced by SE Asia standards but not for Phu Quoc. Ask to see other avail. rooms (they vary in quality). Very close to restaurant choices along beach. Breakfast was standard. Staff didn't exactly smile much but were pleasant and helpful enough. The bungalows looked great if you have the budget. Bike rental here was $11 but only 8 down the track.

ALBERTA: University of Alberta president Indira Samarasekera calls for more white men to enroll
Posters take swipe at U of A president
CBC News Posted: Nov 02, 2009 11:39 AM MT Last Updated: Nov 02, 2009 11:34 AM MT
A satirical poster campaign has sprung up on the University of Alberta campus in reaction to comments made by the president, Indira Samarasekera, about the issue of attracting more men to universities.
About 400 posters were put up. One states: "Only White Men Can Save our University!" Another reads: "Women: Stop! Drop! Men: Enroll."
The posters are in response to comments made by Samarasekera in an interview on Oct. 21, when she said: "Presidents of the major universities are very concerned we are not attracting young men in the numbers we should."
"I'm going to be an advocate for young white men, because I can be. No one is going to question me when I say we have a problem," she said.
Samarasekera made the comments in response to new statistics that show females make up about 58 per cent of the student body in Canada.
Samarasekera said her concern is that in 20 years, there will not be enough male talent at the heads of companies and elsewhere. Continue reading
MONTREAL: Murdered Sri Lankan refugee and suspect came from same village
Published Monday, June 23, 2014 10:25PM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, June 24, 2014 6:41PM EDT
Jeyarasan Manikaraja, 40, is dead and a 34-year-old is in custody after a stabbing near 7745 Mountain Sights, just north of Pare in Cote des Neiges at 9:30 p.m. Monday evening.
Manikaraja, a father of three who worked in a restaurant, was found in a nearby alleyway and rushed to hospital but later succumbed to knife wounds to the upper body, believed to be around his neck.
Police rounded up a suspect in a nearby apartment soon after. They believe that a lovers' triangle might have been at the root of the dispute.
The victim's son Abisath Manikarajah told CTV Montreal that he watched on as his father was pulled away by the man who brought him down a hill outside of his building.
Manikaraja and the suspect are members of the local Sri Lankan community. According to the victim's brother, the two were from the same village in Sri Lanka. Continue reading

Autistic girl's future up in the air as family set to be deported from U.S., refused entry to Canada
OTTAWA — The Globe and Mail

Sabreena Shabdeen's family has an awful choice to make. If she is returned to Canada next week, it will be without the parents who have been her supporters, caregivers and advocates since she was born in Toronto 17 years ago.
Sabreena is severely autistic. She can barely speak and, according to medical reports, is prone to "aggressive, agitative and assaultive" behaviour. But she is a Canadian. And her parents, Kairun and Mohamed Shabdeen, believe Canada offers her a better chance of a decent life than Sri Lanka, the country to which they are about to be deported. Continue reading

As a boy growing up in St. James Town, Ragu Kanagalingam didn't know much about Christmas.

MONTRÉAL – L'individu soupçonné d'avoir poignardé à mort sa conjointe de 21 ans, samedi soir dans un appartement du quartier Ahuntsic, a formellement été accusé lundi de meurtre non prémédité.
Vêtu d'un simple t-shirt et d'une paire de jeans, Sivaloganathan Thanabalasingham a brièvement comparu au palais de justice de Montréal. L'accusé n'a dit un mot, mais il a jeté plusieurs regards dans la salle d'audience avant de retourner en détention.

Review: Cingular 2125 smartphone
After spending two weeks with the Cingular 2125 smartphone, I feel like an overbearing father the sweaty, balding little-league pop with a beer-belly screaming "Hustle!" or "Dammit, keep your eye on the ball!" I can't help but see the 2125 not for what it is, but for what it's not.
Designed by Taiwanese maker HTC for Cingular, the 2125 is the service giant's first company-branded phone and claims to be "the first Smartphone-class handset to feature the new Microsoft Windows 5.0 Smartphone Edition operating platform." Cingular would have you believe that's the cell-phone equivalent of splitting the atom, but the 2125 is just the first phone with Microsoft's new smartphone operating system, not the first smartphone with WinMo 5.0. The Treo's already tread that water.
With that said, at first glance, the 2125's a beauty. Weighing about 4 ounces, its compact, candy-bar style and metallic grey/blue body give it immediate sex appeal. It has a simple button layout with a key on the left spine that controls Bluetooth, Microsoft's synchronization program ActiveSync, and the speakerphone and voice recorder. But the star of the phone's facade is clearly the big, bright 2.2-inch-diagonal display a particular pleasure when surfing the Web or using the impressively crisp 1.3-megapixel camera (both video and photo capable).
I could thank the heavens for the 2125, a phone not without obvious joys, but then I try to turn the damn thing on or off, and I'm ready to throw it under the D train. To find the strength to push and hold down the stiff, rigid power button, you may have to spend a few hours working yourself into shape with Tae Bo legend Billy Blanks. In contrast to the unyielding power button is the oversensitive navigation "joystick." Using it is like trying to control a cracked-out kitten. Countless times, I found myself inadvertently clicking on site links as I tried to scroll up or down.
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition endows the 2125 with many abilities. You don't get the full Mobile Office suite available with the Pocket PC Edition found on the Treo, but you can still view Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. You can access your corporate and personal e-mail accounts, and an optional upgrade allows direct-push e-mail, which automatically delivers your e-mail messages to your handheld. Plus MSN Messenger is preloaded to the handset. It all sounds great until you try to dash off a two-sentence email. When you find yourself still typing away 15 minutes later, you'll regret not getting a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard.
The phone has 64 MB of SDRAM (which you can use to store photos, music, and whatnot) and can play MP3, WAV, WMA, and AAC audio as well as MPEG-4 video, satisfying many of your entertainment needs. Yet the phone lacks Wi-Fi available on some of the 2125's main competitors, like T-Mobile's soon-to-be-released SDA limiting your on-the-go downloading abilities. In the end, for every positive the phone offers, there's something to make you stop and wonder, "didn't they try to use this before releasing it?" For $199 with a two-year contract, I'd be hard-pressed to accept its faults, so it's off to the orphanage with Cingular's 2125.

Papa John's Pizza says they will have to cut employee's hours and raise prices to comply with Obamacare. Yesterday it was revealed that their pizza giveaway is going to cost five times as much as health insurance for their employees. And today there's a report that Papa John's is facing a $250 million lawsuit over illegal spam text messages. And on top of all that, their pizza isn't very good.

Silly Mr. Metz
A Denny's franchisee in West Palm Beach says he will tack on a 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' to customers' bills.
"If I leave the prices the same, but say on the menu that there is a 5 percent surcharge for Obamacare, customers have two choices. They can either pay it and tip 15 or 20 percent, or if they really feel so inclined, they can reduce the amount of tip they give to the server, who is the primary beneficiary of Obamacare," Metz told The Huffington Post.
Oh silly Mr. Metz, customers have many more choices than that.
Perhaps poor Mr. Metz can convince Congress that he should be allowed to pay his tipped employees less.
Less than the $2.13 per hour they now earn, I mean.
Update: Denny's Corporate spanks franchisee Metz
In today's HuffPo, John Metz Denny's Obamacare Surcharge Stirs Big Mess For Restaurant Chain
Denny's chief executive John Miller privately reached out to Metz to express his "disappointment" with the Florida franchisee's controversial statements about Obamacare, which sparked a wave of backlash for the national restaurant chain over the past few days. Metz released a statement Monday night expressing "regret" over his statements.
And further:
"Unfortunately, the comments of this franchisee, who represents less than 1 percent of our system and who owns restaurants in other concepts, has been portrayed as reflective of the entire Denny's brand," Miller said. "I am confident his perspective is not shared by the company or hundreds of franchisees/small business owners who make up the majority of the Denny's community. Specifically, his comments suggesting that guests might reduce the customary tip provided to their server as an offset to his proposed surcharge are inconsistent with our values and approach to business throughout our brand."
As for consequences to those who damage the brand, a Denny's spokesperson said, "We have a variety of options depending on the circumstances to respond to franchisee actions that are not in the best interests of the brand and deal with those on a individual franchisee basis as required."
Sounds like he's off to the woodshed.
Good. If I were another franchisee, I'd be pretty ticked off.
Same with Papa John's and Chick Fil-A franchisees- they will suffer beause of the actions of the CEO.
And Jeep is STILL having to send out correction tweets because of Romney's dumbass "moving to China" comment.
GOP Business-friendly? Eh, not so much. Certainly not in the world of public relations.
And this:
After Metz's original comments went viral, Abdo Mouannes said sales and traffic dropped "overnight" at his seven Denny's locations in Florida. Angry callers immediately jammed the phones at his restaurants. "The manager said it was so frustrating, she wanted to unplug the phone."
Mouannes, who co-owns the restaurants with this brother, said he would never have laid off employees or cut hours due to Obamacare. But now he may have to, he said, if Denny's boycotts take hold.
Self-fulfilling prophecy, at least for OTHER franchisees. If I were Mouannes, I would sue Metz and the main office for damaging my franchise.

How much is gas where you live!

Just a fun poll. I'm asking about regular unleaded, not midgrade or super. (To get an accurate count)

Probably about $1.79 to $1.99 depending on the part of town. I wish I were in Oklahoma.

I *think* it was 1.51 yesterday, in Portland. I wasn't paying much attention.

I'm probably wrecking your poll numbers, but we pay over $4 a gallon (not sure of the exact number as I would have to first convert litres to gallons and then SEK to $, it is just too early in the morning for that :-)).

Ok, did the math for the fun of it :-). We pay about $4.16 per gallon for the cheapest gas right now...of course the way the dollar is going up, that might get a bit cheaper soon for Americans coming over here (still feels expensive for us).

Southern Michigan: Was $1.68 last week - yesterday, started at $1.79, ended around $1.99!
Now I remember why I chose the minivan over the monster SUV.....

I guess I win! I paid 1.75 last week, but now there is only one place that is 1.99. Absolutely everywhere else is between 2.15 and 2.25. And I'm in central northern CA, so I can't imagine what it's like 70 miles southwest in SF.
