We're back with our third installment of the 2013 DiabetesMine 'Aware-lidays' Giveaway, combining November's D-Awareness with the approaching holiday season hoopla…
Or the diabetes math equation: Awareness + Holidays = 'Aware-lidays!'
After giving away some stylish carry bags in our first round and then a customized exercise coaching package this past week, we're excited to turn our attention to some yummy blood-sugar-friendly snacks that might be especially appealing this time of year with all that holiday feasting just around the bend.
You may have heard of Extend Nutrition, the brainchild of Dr. Francine Kaufman, famous pediatric endo who's now Chief Medical Officer of Medtronic Diabetes — whom we've had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know over the past several years. Years ago, she took to her very own kitchen to create a snack formula that would stretch carb absorption to keep blood sugar impact to a minimum "longer than anything else on the market."
Extend now has 17 flavors that range from snack bars to crunchy rice cake-like crisps, to shake mixes. These gluten-free snacks are largely soy-based and made with lean protein and healthy fats, and most importantly they are low-glycemic carbs that don't spike your blood sugar.
If the effect is as promised, what PWD (person with diabetes) can argue with that?!
Extend marketing states that their snacks can "help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours." Presumably this is most effective for PWDs not on insulin, controlling their BG levels through diet and activity. The company states that while typical snacks metabolize during a 1-2 hour period and cause a rapid rise in blood sugar followed by the risk of BG crashes, the Extend Nutrition snacks don't cause that spike-crash-crave cycle.
Check out this link on how their food science works: "The key ingredient is uncooked corn starch, a low-glycemic carbohydrate that metabolizes slowly and helps to control blood sugar for longer than anything else on the market."
They even have peer-reviewed clinical studies to officially illustrate those effects.
And with the FDA's news back in August about defining "gluten free" for the first time, Extend Nutrition is proud to say that it's officially "gluten free" and in full compliance with the new rules — happy news for me personally, with my gluten-intolerance issue.
I've tried out their bars on many occassions and find them yummy and filling. I'm pretty much a snack and granola bar addict, so when I say these are good, I have plenty of context for comparing them to other, more mealy varieties. I can't honestly say that my blood sugar was magically controlled for up to 9 hours, but they did have the same minimal impact on my BG as other high-protein bars, which are always a better bet than "regular" snack bars that are low-protein and low-fiber.
Our whole team also recently got the chance to try their new Savory Crisps (like mini rice cakes in good flavors) and sweet-variety Drizzles when the company generously sent us sample packs. I must admit I LOVED the Drizzles, which, just as they suggest, make an awesome lunchtime snack when you're craving something sweet, but you know… have diabetes.
You can buy Extend snacks in pretty much any U.S. food or drug store you can think of, but here's a comprehensive listing of places to purchase, FYI.
Of course, if you happen to be hoping to win some in a giveaway — or get a special exclusive discount — you came to the right place!
Our Aware-lidays Giveaway
Extend Nutrition has a pretty cool prize in store for one lucky winner — a 30-serving package of snacks that you get to flavor-customize!
5 bags of Extend Drizzles (choice of caramel bliss and/or chocolate dream)
5 bags of Extend Crisps (choice of cinnamon, BBQ, zesty ranch, italian herb, white cheddar, or a variety)
5 Extend Shake mixes + Blender Bottle (choice of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or a variety)
15 Extend Bars (chocolate, peanut, PB Chocolate, apple cinnamon, mixed berry, or a variety)
To win, all you have to do is leave a comment below answering this question:
What's your favorite holiday-season snack to curb hunger and keep you off the gooey stuff? (and NO, it doesn't have to be Extend bars!)
Be sure to include the keyword "DMProducts" somewhere in your comment so we know you're interested in the gift pack.
You have until Friday, Nov. 22, at 5pm PST to enter. A valid email address is required to win.
The winner will be chosen using Random.org and announced via Facebook and Twitter on Monday, Nov. 25, so make sure you're following us! Good luck, Snackers!
And that's not all: we get to "extend" this offer offer (ha!) with something for all of our readers…
'Mine Reader Discount
Extend Nutrition is offering an exclusive discount for 'Mine readers: Just enter the discount code "DMINE" when checking out at www.ExtendBar.com for 20% off your entire order without a minimum purchase amount required. That includes the typical free shipping they offer on any orders over $42. This offer expires one year from today, so that would shoot us to Nov. 18, 2014.
So whether you win our giveaway or not, Everyone Wins today, right?
This contest is now closed. Congrats to Heidi Shell, a fellow PWD and diabetes blogger at The D-Log Cabin who Random.org chose as winner of this giveaway!

About the state's new assault weapon's ban
|An M4 Colt rifle is displayed at the Colt Defense Plant in Hartford. (AP Photo/Richard Lardner, FILE)
State lawmakers and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy have substantially expanded the state's assault weapons ban.
The law bans specific semiautomatic firearms and identifies certain military-style features that could subject unlisted firearms to the ban. It was first adopted in 1993. It was revised in 2001 and again in 2002.

Plot bar graph horizontally
h = barh(...)
A barh graph displays the values in a vector or matrix as horizontal bars.
barh(Y) draws one horizontal bar for each element in Y. If Y is a matrix, barh groups the bars produced by the elements in each row. The x-axis scale ranges from 1 up to length(Y) when Y is a vector, and 1 to size(Y,1), which is the number of rows, when Y is a matrix. The default is to assign an appropriate progression of tick values according to the data. If you want the x-axis scale to end exactly at the last bar, set the axis limits as,
set(gca,'XLim',[1 length(Y)])
barh(X,Y) draws a bar for each element in Y at locations specified in x, where X is a vector defining the x-axis intervals for the vertical bars. The x-values can be nonmonotonic, but cannot contain duplicate values. If Y is a matrix, barh groups the elements of each row in Y at corresponding locations in X.
barh(...,width) sets the relative bar width and controls the separation of bars within a group. The default width is 0.8, so if you do not specify X, the bars within a group have a slight separation. If width is 1, the bars within a group touch one another. The value of width must be a scalar.
barh(...,'style') specifies the style of the bars. 'style' is 'grouped' or 'stacked'. Default mode of display is 'grouped'.
'grouped' displays m groups of n vertical bars, where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns in Y. The group contains one bar per column in Y.
'stacked' displays one bar for each row in Y. The bar height is the sum of the elements in the row. Each bar is multicolored, with colors corresponding to distinct elements and showing the relative contribution each row element makes to the total sum.
'histc' displays the graph in histogram format, in which bars touch one another.
'hist' also displays the graph in histogram format, but centers each bar over the x-ticks, rather than making bars span x-ticks as the histc option does.
Note: When you use either the hist or histc option, you cannot also use parameter/value syntax. These two options create patch objects rather than bar series.
barh(...,'bar_color') displays all bars using the color specified by the single-letter abbreviation 'r', 'g', 'b', 'c', 'm', 'y', 'k', or 'w'.
barh(...,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...) sets the named property or properties to the specified values. You cannot specify properties when hist or histc options are used. See Bar Series Properties for more information.
barh(axes_handle,...) plots into the axes with the handle axes_handle instead of into the current axes (gca).
h = barh(...) returns a vector of bar series handles. When Y is a matrix, barh creates one bar series per column in Y.
Creating a bar graph of an m-by-n matrix creates m groups of n bars. Each bar series comprises a set of bars that have the same color. Use the bar series handle to change properties for all bars in a series.
Create a horizontal bar graph of vector data.
y = [57,91,105,123,131,150,...
barh draws one horizontal bar for each element in y.
Specify the bar width to 0.4.
y = [57,91,105,123,131,150,...
width = 0.4;
Create a figure with four subplots. In each subplot, create a horizontal bar graph using a different style option for each graph.
x = [2,4]; y = [1,2,3,4;... 5,6,7,8]; figure; subplot(2,2,1); barh(x,y,'grouped'); % groups by row title('Grouped Style') subplot(2,2,2); barh(x,y,'stacked'); % stacks values in each row together title('Stacked Style') subplot(2,2,3); barh(x,y,'hist'); % centers bars over x values title('hist Style') subplot(2,2,4); barh(x,y,'histc'); % spans bars over x values title('histc Style')
Create a horizontal bar graph and change the color of the bars to red.
y = [57,91,105,123,131,150,... 170,203,226.5,249,281.4]; figure barh(y,'r')
Create a horizontal bar graph and set the line width to 2. Use RGB triplets to set the face color and edge color for the bars.
y = [57,91,105,123,131,150,... 170,203,226.5,249,281.4]; figure barh(y,'FaceColor',[0,0.5,0.5],... 'EdgeColor',[0,0,0.9],... 'LineWidth',2)
Define x and y as vectors of data.
x = 1900:10:2000;
y = [57,91,105,123,131,150,...
Create a horizontal bar graph of the data in y. Use x to specify the bar locations along the y-axis.
figure barh(x,y)
Load the data set count.dat, which returns a three-column matrix, count. Store y as the first six rows of count.
load count.dat
y = count(1:6,:);
Create a horizontal bar graph of matrix y.
figure barh(y)
By default, barh groups the bars by row.
Load the data set, count.dat, that returns a three-column matrix, count. Define y as the first four rows of count.
load count.dat
y = count(1:4,:);
Create a horizontal bar graph of y using a dotted line style. Return the three bar series handles. barh creates a bar series for each column in y.
figure h = barh(y,'LineStyle',':');
Use the handles in h to set different property values for each bar series. Change the face color of the first bar series to cyan by setting the FaceColor property to cyan. Set the face color for the third bar series using an RGB triplet. Starting in R2014b, you can use dot notation to set properties. If you are using an earlier release, use the set function instead.
h(1).FaceColor = 'cyan';
h(3).FaceColor = [0,0.5,0.5];
Load the data set count.dat, which returns a three-column matrix, count. Store y as the first six rows of count.
load count.dat
y = count(1:6,:);
Create a horizontal bar graph of y and set the basevalue to 25.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) -- Heavy rains this afternoon flooded creeks in Rockford and left parts of the city submerged.
Winnebago County officials say about 40 people have been evacuated from a residential area.
Rescue workers used inflatable boats to take some people from flooded homes and business parking lots.
Tim Seeley of the National Weather Service says an area in southeast Rockford received about six inches of rain during afternoon storms.
At one point, a 22-block area was impassable to vehicles with water standing five or six feet deep.
An official with the Rock River Reclamation District tells the Rockford Register Star that standing water is likely to remain on city streets until at least early tomorrow morning.

Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- As the happy hour crowd poured in on a recent weeknight, the kitchen and bar staff at Hock Farm restaurant scrambled to meet the incoming orders.
One used her hands to toss locally grown Romaine hearts with anchovy dressing in a metal bowl, while another, facing diners from behind a marble countertop, used his fingers to sprinkle cojita cheese and red onion into chicken tacos.
A gloveless bartender wedged an orange slice on the edge of a white wine spritzer.
All of them were breaking a state law that took effect in January, but won't be enforced until July.
California is a straggler in banning bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat food. A state-by-state review of food codes shows 41 other states have a version of the legislation signed last year by Gov. Jerry Brown.
In all these states, chefs and bartenders must keep bare hands off food going straight to the plate or the drink glass, from the rice in a sushi roll to the mint in a mojito. Instead, they must use utensils or gloves. Hock Farm owner Randy Paragary says bringing this rule to California disrupts well-established hand-washing routines, generates unnecessary waste and restricts his employees' in their craft.
Hearing restaurant owners echo his concerns about the law's inflexibility, state legislators are considering a reversal before inspectors begin slapping fines on eateries this summer.
Since 1993, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recommended a hands-off approach in restaurants and bars as a staple of basic hygiene. Even with good hand-washing, it takes only a few norovirus particles -- the most common cause of foodborne illness -- to infect diners, the FDA says.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that workers touching food provided the most common transmission pathway for food-originated norovirus outbreaks between 2001 and 2008, the most recent comprehensive review of data available.
"It's an additional barrier to help protect the food," said Liza Frias, environmental health manager for the city of Pasadena and chairwoman of California's Retail Food Safety Coalition, which represents regulators and business groups. "You have everyday consumers who are looking for glove use."
The other barriers, experts say, are keeping sick workers out of the kitchen and ensuring strong hand-washing.
Major chain restaurants are used to gloves and generally shrug at this kind of regulation. The California Restaurant Association had opposed the bill until last year, when it recognized the widespread practice wasn't going away.
To higher-end restaurants such as Hock Farm, the mandate came as an irritating surprise. Sacramento's dining scene emphasizes using fresh, locally grown food as part of the farm-to-fork movement. And Paragary, the Hock Farm owner, says gloves would undermine the transparent kitchen-to-plate step his customers observe.
"You'll feel like there's a doctor back there preparing your food," he said.
Another Sacramento restaurateur, Randall Selland, calls the new law an unnecessary infringement on highly regarded establishments, saying it's better suited for fast food and production-line restaurants.
"If people get sick at my restaurant, they are going to stop coming," Selland said. "You have got to give restaurants some trust."
Many of the states with the bare-hand ban, and even the FDA model code, allow for exceptions. That discretion lies with local health agencies in California, and the potential for inconsistencies and added work for regulators and businesses alike has been controversial.
Food codes in Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon and Wyoming encourage minimal contact but do not ban bare-hand contact outright. Lawmakers in South Carolina are considering a ban this year, while Tennessee plans to implement one by 2015.
Ravin Patel, executive chef at Ella near the Capitol, said he didn't notice much difference in kitchen procedures after moving in 2009 to California from New York, which has prohibited bare-hand contact since 1992.
But that doesn't mean the kitchen staffs in New York restaurants are always wearing gloves.
"It just becomes common practice that you don't touch food as much," said Patel, adding that New York restaurateurs found ways around the requirement. "When the health inspector comes, you slap on a bunch of gloves."
Similarly, many New York bartenders still work barehanded, dropping limes into gin-and-tonics but keeping a pair of tongs handy for visits by inspectors, said Aaron Smith, executive director of the U.S. Bartenders' Guild.
Smith also is managing director of the bar 15 Romolo in San Francisco. He says law-abiding employees cannot find an easy work-around for some mixology steps, such as fusing mints and herbs into his bar's signature, pricey drinks.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — General manager Mitch Kupchak says the Los Angeles Lakers are unlikely to make any trades before next week's deadline, even after a humiliating defeat in Cleveland before the All-Star break.
Kupchak attended the unveiling of Jerry West's statue outside Staples Center on Thursday night, but West didn't provide any advice to the man who replaced him at the Lakers' helm.
Although the Lakers have been linked in trade rumors to disgruntled Denver superstar Carmelo Anthony, Kupchak says he doesn't think he'll shake up his roster before the Feb. 24 deadline.
The Lakers headed into the break with three straight losses, including Wednesday's loss to the NBA's worst team.
They still have the NBA's sixth-best record (38-19).

The media have reported many stories in the past week that confirm my suspicions, and lead to only one conclusion: There really has been no recession.
In spite of ample supplies of crude oil and reserves, gasoline prices at the pump are climbing to record highs. In spite of record gasoline prices, people buy and drive few hybrids, even fewer CNG vehicles and practically zero electrics. In spite of record gasoline prices, I personally witness what appears to be record numbers of people on all our freeways, driving at what would appear to be record speeds (dying in auto crashes) — in pretty record-sized SUVs and pickups. Of course, Big Oil continues to make billions in profits.
In spite of ridiculously high prices for cigarettes, record numbers of children and young people start and continue smoking. Who in their right mind would pay $7 for a pack of cigarettes? Although lots of adults have quit, LOTS of adults continue to smoke as well.
Restaurants, as well as lots of other small businesses, seem to come and go, but wherever I go, restaurants seem to be busy. And snowbirds seem to be here in full force this winter, spending lots of money.
And now I see on tonight's Channel 12 news that our illustrious legislators want to take the temporary "emergency" (can you say 'recession') 1-cent sales tax increase and make it permanent! Can't live without it. Because of their failure to govern and tackle the serious issues (overhaul the whole state revenue generating process), their solution is raise taxes.
Recession? Maybe in some sectors, in some areas. I don't see it. If it was that bad, people would slow down, people would drive less, drive fewer SUVs, buy less gas, behave differently. You certainly wouldn't see teenagers paying $7 for a pack of cigarettes. I suspect beer sales are pretty normal, too.
This all goes to show that all the anxiety-driven, panic rhetoric put out by the politicians and media had one purpose: to scare citizens and convince us that whatever they propose, and did, was warranted and "just the right thing." Could the Great Recession have been, continue to be, just an extreme dip, an adjustment, in what is a normal economic "cycle" even here in Arizona? Sometimes it's too bad that we believe everything we're told.

Concierge.com's insider take:
This iconic hotel is situated on not one, but two canals. Cobbled together from 25 historic canal houses gathered around a gracious courtyard, it achieves Amsterdam-coziness in spite of its 230-room girth. Each room is different, all have either a garden or canal view, and some suites are duplexes. The Pulitzer's scale makes it the closest thing this city has to a resort—there's an art gallery, a gym, and a private boat for canal cruises. The restaurant, Pulitzers, part of which was once a pharmacy, is now one of the city's top tables for French-inspired cooking. After dinner, retire to Pulitzers Bar or the cigar lounge. In summer, you can take high tea in the courtyard.

"Buyer and Cellar" starring Michael Urie is a new solo show inspired by the unusual contents of Barbra Streisand's basement. NY1's Roma Torre filed the following review.
It's often been said that there are really only seven basic plots in literature and almost all creative writing today is a variation of those simple story lines. Well, whoever came up with that didn't see "Buyer & Cellar." Jonathan Tolins' one-man comedy is audaciously original, and I should add, hilariously clever and consummately performed.
At the start, actor Michael Urie makes it clear that even though the story he tells concerns Barbra Streisand, it's almost entirely a work of fiction. And then he launches into it.
He plays a young out-of-work actor in Hollywood who gets a mysterious offer to work in "retail." When he shows up for the interview, he discovers that his employer is Streisand and the job entails working in her basement, which she's converted into a shopping mall stocked exclusively with her own possessions... and just as he's the only sales clerk, she would be the only customer.
How Tolins spins that bizarre tale into a most entertaining 95 intermissionless minutes is a tribute to his ingenuity as a writer and Urie's comedic skills, with a big assist from director Stephen Brackett.
The idea for the play was inspired by an actual page from Streisand history. In her 2010 book entitled "My Passion For Design," she describes her basement mall complete with individual shops and even popcorn and frozen yogurt machines.
Urie is remarkable, seamlessly morphing from one character to another, but it's his exchanges with Streisand that steal the show.
And whether it's magic or just the miracle of acting, I could swear I saw Streisand's face and long polished nails whenever Urie took her on.

Beef heart is really, really tasty. See? It just looks like steak. Just pretend it's steak, because that's all it really is. And it's sooo good. Just take my word for it, ok?
Right after we made Paleo beef heart kabob's for Valentine's Day I ordered another grass-fed beef heart from US Wellness Meats.
I was talking about Paleo recipes on Facebook when someone brought up Paleo beef heart fajitas. I was immediately sold! I went to the kitchen, whipped up some red salsa, cooked the beef heart on the stovetop, rinsed and separated the leaves on a head of butter lettuce and lunch was ready in no time at all.
If you have a jar of salsa, this will go even quicker for ya! Just watch those ingredients. You'll want to look out for added sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and really anything you cannot pronounce.
Pick up a big batch of fresh organic cilantro and dig in!
Paleo Beef Heart Fajitas with Red Salsa
- 4 tomatoes on the vine
- 6 cloves garlic (skin still on)
- 2 onions
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1-1 1/2 lb grass-fed beef heart
- paprika, to taste
- garlic powder, to taste
- onion powder, to taste
- fine sea salt, to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 head butter/Boston lettuce
- Rinse tomatoes, remove from the vine and cut each in half.
- Transfer halved tomatoes to a rimmed baking sheet along with the whole cloves of garlic, no need to remove the skins.
- Place baking sheet under the broiler of the oven for 7-10 minutes until the tops of the tomatoes are charred.
- Place a dry cast iron grill pan over high heat.
- Cut ends off the first onion, remove the outer layer, rinse and slice the whole onion. Slice the end off the green pepper, halve and slice the green pepper.
- Add onion and pepper to the hot grill pan and sauté until onions are translucent. Be sure to toss often so they don't stick to the pan and are cooked equally.
- Mince 1/2 cup of the second onion and add to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
- When tomatoes are charred, remove from broiler. Remove the skins from the tomato and garlic cloves. Add all but two tomatoes to a food processor. Be careful, they're hot!
- Remove the top of the jalapeño pepper (chop into medium size chunks to make easy on the food processor) and add along with 3/4 cup of cilantro to the tomato and garlic. Mix in food processor until desired consistency of salsa is met.
- Transfer fajita mix (onion and peppers) to a bowl.
- Cut beef heart into strips and add to the hot pan, reduce heat to medium, and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and fine sea salt. Toss to coat all strips and cook until meat is done (4-7 minutes).
- Transfer salsa mix from the food processor to the bowl with the minced onion. Chop the two reserved charred tomatoes and add to the bowl. Season with onion powder, sea salt and black pepper and stir to combine.
- Snap the end off the head of butter lettuce, gently peel off each lettuce cup and add to a platter or plates to prepare to serve.
- Once the beef heart is fully cooked remove from heat and let rest 3-4 minutes before preparing your fajitas. If necessary thin the beef heart strips with kitchen shears to match the size of each butter lettuce cup.
- Add two strips of beef heart to each lettuce cup, add fajita vegetables to each cup, top with red salsa, garnish with remaining fresh cilantro and eat your heart out baby!
- Enjoy! :)

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The EU for You podcast originated as a project of the Institute for Human Sciences (IHS) at Boston University. The IHS was established in November 2001, in partnership with the Vienna-based Institut fur die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM), in response to growing tensions in the transatlantic relationship. Its programs explored the differences in culture, values, and national experience between the United States and Europe, with the goal of improving transatlantic cooperation and understanding. In 2007, the IHS began to collaborate with the European Commission Delegation in Washington DC in bringing knowledge of the European Union, its policies, and institutions to a broader North American public. The EU for You podcast was developed as part of an initiative entitled "Getting to Know the European Union: Member States in Focus." On the EU for You podcast, we you will hear a variety of European perspectives on politics, literature, and culture.
The goal of the podcast was to engage the public in a serious debate on the European Union that goes beyond its political and structural aspects and considers the deeper meanings of "citizenship."
