As a matter of fact, we were treated like VIPs and loved every minute of it. I noticed from the very beginning that you guys treat your customers like family, and it shows throughout the entire trip. And talk about great food! It was diverse and tasty. The Chico Hot Springs Resort was our favorite, and I think our dinner with them was the best! The guides were very friendly and professional. Keep doing what you are doing. Don't ever change a thing – it was perfect!

Tina Turner Shot Randy Jackson (Not the Idol Judge)
Yesterday via Twitter, Randy Jackson, of the Michael-Janet-La Toya Jacksons, told his followers that Tina Turner shot him in the eighties when he showed up at her house planning to see his (unnamed) then-girfriend. "I guess I caught them off guard. Hmmm...." he wrote. Still, he says he doesn't hold a grudge and went right back to talking about the vast conspiracy behind his brother's death two years ago last week. [randyjackson8/Twitter]

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Snider, Snickers!
Facts about Snider, Snickers
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Snider, Snickers's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Snider and Snickers Cat-tale: the brothers are from a development in Blue Ash. People in the area were ready to take these sweet, non-stop purring machines to the SPCA because no one wanted them. The mom cat has yet to be fixed/found. Hopefully they'll do so soon, before more kittens are born. Snickers is a playing machine and both love to purr all day long & love to be with you.
Snider is the white male kitten, Snickers is the black/brown kitten(or chocolate colored one >^..^< )
The kittens have to be adopted as together.... they only have each other and are Sweet as can be. Kittens do well having a sibling to share a life with & it saves another kitten.
Mom is fixed and FIV/FeLV negative on her test. . The kittens are available for PRE-adoption [adoption fees must be paid ahead of time] - we will have them spay/neutered before they are adopted out . Trying to control the pet overpopulation means stopping the breeding , as kittens can get pregnant at 6 months of age.
Other Pets at Cat-Tales Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Snider, Snickers, a Cincinnati Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

Based in Dharamsala, India, this program is designed to offer a unique opportunity to live and study in a rich and complex cross-cultural setting. Dharamsala is home to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the seat of the Government in Exile, as well as the cultural and intellectual capital of the Tibetan exile community. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of a community in exile and issues associated with Tibetan refugees. They will experience and engage in the challenges and possibilities that confront the Tibetan community which is striving to preserve traditional cultural values and identity in the context of globalization.
The Earlham program works with the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics (IBD) to create a semester of rigorous academic work, language study, cultural immersion, contemplative practice, and field research. The IBD was established by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1973 and is a prestigious center for advanced studies and practice. IBD provides the teachers and lecturers for the program. Students will attend classes at the Sarah Campus of IBD and will have an opportunity to experience the daily life of the Tibetan community in Dharamsala.
Kari Kalve is Professor of English at Earlham, with a specialty in Medieval British literature. Kari has led off-campus programs in London in 2001 and Southern India in 2006. She is excited to learn about a new part of India and to be able to return with her husband, Stephen Johnson, who teaches yoga at Earlham's Wellness Center. Kari was drawn to the interdisciplinary nature of medieval studies, which combines the study of literature with that of history, visual arts including architecture, philosophy and theology. One of her focuses in studying literature has been on who has the power to speak for whom, and this led her to postcolonial literature and theory, which nurtured her interest in Indian history and literature. Questions about colonization, empire, voice and translation also apply well to the challenges faced by Tibetans living in exile in Dharamsala. Kari hopes that the program will help its participants to learn to speak for themselves and listen to others.
Dharamsala is located in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas. With numerous Buddhist temples, monasteries and leading meditation teachers in residence, Dharamsala attracts thousands of visitors, pilgrims, world leaders as well as university students and scholars of Tibetan Buddhism who go to hear the Dalai Lama's public teaching as well as to conduct research.
During the first part of the program students will live with Tibetan roommates while on the Sarah campus and will take most meals in the cafeterias. During the second part of the program students will live with Tibetan families in McLeod Ganj, the community immediately surrounding the IBD. During the program students participate in weekly fieldtrips, celebrate several important Tibetan and Indian holidays, and attend numerous cultural events.
Students will earn a total of 18 semester credits for the successful completion of the program. Grades will be sent to the Earlham Registrar and will be included in the GPA. Students must complete the entire semester in Dharamsala to receive academic credit for the program.
Tibetan History and Culture, 4 CreditsIn this class, students will learn Tibetan history and learn about and experience Tibetan cultural expressions, including visual and performing arts. The course will include readings, lectures and visits to cultural institutions.
Tibetan Language 101, 4 CreditsThis course is intended as an introduction to modern spoken and written Tibetan. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand and speak colloquial Tibetan at the novice level, write the classical dbu can script and read simple passages. The course will meet four to five days a week and will include grammar, reading, writing, speaking and oral comprehension.
Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy and Practice, 4 CreditsThis course covers the fundamentals of Buddhism and more advanced explorations of Mahayana psychology, philosophy, and ethics.
Independent Research Project: Selected Topics, 2 CreditsThis course allows students to explore a particular Tibetan Studies-related topic and ends with a major paper. Kari Kalve and the local staff supervise the research.
Mindfulness, Reflection, Identity, 4 CreditsMindfulness is a concept and a practice centrally important to Tibetan Buddhism, as well as to many other forms of spirituality, including Quakerism and Hinduism. There is increasing research suggesting that mindfulness has a powerful role to play in education. In this class students will: learn about innovative research into the benefits of mindfulness practices; learn about and attempt various mindfulness practices including different forms of meditation and yoga; and observe themselves as scholars and citizens of the world. Through the lectures, activities and writings for this course, students will integrate their scholarship and experiences on the program. This course will be taught by Kari Kalve.
Students accepted to the program are required to participate in Cross-Cultural Exploration I (1 credit) prior to departure and Cross-Cultural Exploration II (1 credit) after they return.
Pre-departure sessions are designed to prepare the students for the cross-cultural experience and will include readings, activities, films and lectures. A weekend retreat is part of this course. Students and parents will receive a handbook of important information.
Following return to campus, students will participate in a seven-week course that will guide them in processing, analyzing and building upon their off-campus experience. Credit for Cross-Cultural Explorations I is dependent upon successful completion of the semester program.
The program will cost the same as one semester of on-campus charges, tuition, fees, room and board. The program covers academic and educational costs, and includes required field excursions and other group activities as well as room and board while on the academic portion of the program. A deposit of $350.00 is required after acceptance to the program, which is part of the total cost. Students on financial aid may apply their aid to one Earlham or GLCA-recognized off-campus program during their college career.
Each student should plan for additional money to cover round-trip airfare, personal expenses such as passport and books, visa application, and all costs for the independent travel period. Passport and visa are required for travel to India.
Undergraduate students in good standing with the College may apply. Students on academic probation are not eligible to participate. A student's eligibility for this program may also be affected by being placed on disciplinary probation. Majors from all disciplines are welcome. Selection will be conducted by a student and faculty committee.

How do you effectively and quickly convince a person that there is unclaimed money for him to claim?
I am in the Unclaimed money business. Basically, I know of some clients that genuinely have money that belongs to them. But they may have already forgotten about it. When I make a phone call or letter, many of them seem to be very skeptical about my call and feel this is a scam. But the reality is millions of dollars are given back to the government due to people not
claiming money that is rightfully theirs. Whats the best way to convince them this is not a scam but honest to goodness money to be claimed? Thank you for your feedback. God bless!
Answer: The best way is for you not to ask any upfront money from them. Tell them that you will only get a percentage of the money that they will get. Personally, I would not trust anyone who tells me that I have Unclaimed money then ask me to give upfront money so that processing can be initiated. Have a nice day !

How to convince someone he has Unclaimed Money?
OK. If I work in a business trying to reunite lost money with rightful owners ie Unclaimed money, how do i convince the owner that he/she really has Unclaimed money? First reaction is that its a scam and its too good to be true? If you received a letter in the mail about this saying you have lost or Unclaimed money, how would you react? More importantly, how will you be convinced to be my client and lodge a claim with us by providing some certified identification documents? What exact things should i do to convince that person he has Unclaimed money and it is good to be my client? A phone call to follow up the letter? Or is this pushy and more like a scam?
Answer: The only way you can convince someone it's not a scam is a) not ask for money up front b) you don't take a percentage c) show them the proof on the net such as the ATO website for Unclaimed money/funds eg: http://www.ato.gov.au/superprofessionals/content.asp?doc=/Content/19155.htm and http://www.fido.gov.au/fido/fido.nsf

Answer: Go to FoundMoney.com There are several people who have the same name as me, but they were in places I have never been, and in one case, although I was there, I had already closed my account, so the money can't be mine. And the year I was there was not correct. Their middle names do not match mine. It is not my money, and I am accountable to God for any lie I would have to tell in order to bilk someone else.

Unclaimed money?
How long, in the state of Florida, I suppose, do you have to wait for a large sum of money found to go unclaimed before the police return it to you?
Or do you not get it back at all?
Writing a story, and I need to get my facts straight...therefore, sources are welcome.
Answer: I am not certain the previous answers were accurate. The length of time the money will be held id determined by how the money was obtained. In drug cases, this can go on for months. If money is found on the street and turned into police custody, the funds may be returned as early as 30 days, but can vary depending upon the circumstances. In some cases, the monies are actually used by the police departments to buy necessities if no one comes to make the claim. In other cases, the money may be turned over to unclaimed property offices. http://www.unclaimedmoney.net may be a useful resource for locating these type claims. The short and long answer to this question is there is no clear cut answer. This is a good question and upon reflection, appears to need more attention and possible legislation to control these type funds on a consistent basis. Can you post your article when completed. I am interested in what you might find.

James Dennin, Kapitall: Some institutional investors say tech stocks aren't worth the risk. But Ryan Jacob disagrees.
A couple weeks ago we interviewed John Thompson of Vilas Capital. A by-the-books value investor, Thompson likened investing in technology stocks to " sitting on a twenty and betting on an ace." But there are all kinds of investors out there. Including ones who would say pretty much the opposite.
Read more interviews from Kapitall: John Thompson Says to Ditch Tech, Buy Big Banks
So we sat down with one, Ryan Jacob, Chairman & Chief Investment Officer of Jacob Asset Management, to talk about how his fund goes about picking technology stocks, and how they weigh growth potential against valuation.Why do economic downturns affect technology companies more? Supply and demand on the hardware side is still susceptible to consumer sentiments. But we do really look for secular growth, companies that'll grow regardless of what the market is doing. There are some companies we like a lot and invest in, like Yelp (YELP), but we keep our holdings small because of the valuation. Yahoo! (YHOO) is also tricky to value because so much of that company's value are Asian assets – like Alibaba and Yahoo! Japan. Click on the interactive chart to see stock price data over time. Do you think the market has priced in the Alibaba hype to Yahoo!'s valuation? Not completely. Because those assets, they're not static, they're growing. I don't see Yahoo!'s price getting ahead of itself, in fact I think that it's tracking. I think most of our holdings are going to catch up to their valuation. So valuation plays a role in determining what you buy? The name of the game in technology investing is balancing risk and return. One of our holdings, Cisco (CSCO), isn't growing that much but it is something of a value play. Now I'm not going to pay a Yelp kind of valuation for a company like Cisco, but, for sure, valuation plays a big role. What do you think of Twitter's IPO and valuation? With Twitter (TWTR) I'd argue that it behaves more like a utility. It's scope is much more narrow than most software companies which can be good and bad. Their position is much safer than a typical technology company, I don't see anyone else getting into it, but their position is also narrow. It'll be harder for them to grow. But then again, we're always careful with IPOs. They're priced to sell, not to buy. So would you caution against investing in IPOs all together? It's hard to say because sometimes they just keep going up after, but sometimes there's a lot to be gained by taking your time. We waited about 8-9 months before we bought Facebook (FB) which is one of our biggest holdings now. We knew that no one had a deeper relationship with their users but the question became 'could they utilize it without becoming intrusive.'" We think that they can. There's always a chance they could be displaced, just like Myspace was, but we don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Do you believe in Zuckerberg's philosophy of product before profit. Absolutely. It's important to nurture your platform until you reach a critical mass on your user base. Focusing on short-term profits before you get there is short-sighted.

Bulk PageRank Checker in Network & Internet / Search/Lookup Tools
#1 Bulk PageRank Checker is a professional program for checking very large lists of URL's for Google PageRank. You can easily check more than 10,000 URL's without getting blocked. #1 Bulk PageRank Checker allows you to use an option which limits the number of sites that the program can check over a minute or an hour. This is a good way to make sure that you won't get blocked by Google when checking for example a large list of 10,000 URL's from one IP. Just enable the setting under options and click on start, it's that easy. If you want to maintain a high speed and quality with the possibility to use multiple IP's (less likely to get blocked), then you can setup Personal Web Proxys on one or several of your websites. It's very simple, all you do is put our small PHP script on your website (included with the software) and let #1 Bulk PageRank Checker query that script. It will then use the websites IP and not your own. This produces high quality results and lets you check many sites at a high speed. If you only want to check for example .com and .biz domains then #1 Bulk PageRank Checker can take care of that for you. You may in fact turn it around, so it checks all sites except for .com and .biz domains. The program allows you to include or exclude any URL that does or doesn't contain the string(s) of your choice. : Easily check 10,000 sites or more for PageRank : Check for fake PageRank (verify PR) : Limit the queries to keep you from getting blocked : Personal Web Proxys (superior speed compared to standard proxys) : HTTP proxy support : Include/Exclude any URL's of your choice : Display PageRank breakdown for each URL checked : Only save URL's that have at least PageRank X : Check only the domains of the loaded URL's : Add www. to URL's where it isn't found : Read from both TXT and CSV files : Save URL's to a single : Save each URL to a separate file based on PageRank : Real-time stats : Clean interface : And more...

You have sought through back-channels and through your radio show today on WVOX to take issue with my article about Brother Liguouri and his letter to Peter Parente on the grounds that it falsely states that Noam Bramson was behind or involved with the letter sent to Peter Parente. Setting aside that you ought to just contact me directly, per your on-air recommendation, I have read my post again. There is only one paragraph in the article that I wrote which mentions Noam Bramson.
Iona College President James Liguori, Mired in Embezzlement Scandal, Wades into New Rochelle District 3 City Council Race
The nakedly partisan political letter sent to a Republican candidate for City Council and cc'd to Noam Bramson, the de facto leader of the Democratic party, shows a picture of Liguori at odds with his public image. He comes off as a bullying cleric engaged in hardball politics more concerned with the bottom line at the college than the quality of life for residents....
Please explain how you draw from this that I have said or even implied that Noam was behind the letter. Like the rest of the article, the focus on this paragraph is on Liguouri's behavior. The mention of Bramson is in passing, to make the point that Liguori is bringing the de facto head of the Democratic party into what would otherwise have been a private communication between Iona College and a Republican candidate for City Council. To that extent, the mention of Noam Bramson is contained within a criticism of Liguori; your on-air statements are simply wrong. I wonder if you even read my article.
More to the point, I wonder why you care. Why are you even involved. The letter is not addressed to you, sent by you, does not directly concern you and you were not cc'd on it. How do YOU know that the Mayor was not involved in drafting or sending this letter? Did Noam or Liguori tell you that? If so, why were they discussing this matter with you and why would that prompt you to become the only public official who has commented on this matter. You say that Jared got the same/similar letter. How do you know that? And why is that not referenced in the letter to Peter? And where is it and how can it be proven it was sent last week?
More ironic, the last time I heard you mention Iona College was in the context of the United Water rate increase request and fire hydrants. You made public statements complaining that Iona College did not pay taxes but received city services including fire department services that depend on the hydrants -- statements consistent with concerns expressed in my article. It was my impression that we might AGREE that there is a problem with Brother Liguori's notion of "representation without taxation" and that his threats to try to bring out an imported student vote against local candidates who do not tow the Iona College line is disturbing.
At this point it strikes me as just as likely that any other letter such as a letter from Brother Liguori to Jared Rice would have been generated AFTER I wrote about the letter to Peter as a sort of CYA maneuver but as you have inserted yourself quite prominently into a political issue which seems to have nothing to do with your role as City Manager perhaps you can arrange for Brother Liguori or Jared Rice to provide a copy of a letter. Please do not tell me that it is not your place to get involved -- you have already been involved for the past two days and, as noted above, are the only public official who has made a public comment about the Liguori-Parente letter.
A final point, that Liguori would have also threatened Jared Rice does not make it OK for him to threaten Peter Parente. You would have to explain to me why, if Liguori was not acting politically he would send the letter just a few days before the election when waiting a few days would have allowed him to address his concerns to the winner of the special election with certainty rather than engage in a "drive by", firing wildly at both candidates, if what you have claimed about a letter to Rice is true. You'd also have to explain why he specifically raises the issue of the 2011 election?
In the meantime, given your professed concern for accuracy and ethics, I hope you will be willing to acknowledge in 2 weeks that your statements on WVOX were wrong, that my articles does not state or imply that Noam Bramson was behind the letter sent by Brother Liguori to Peter Parente.

Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, Marilynne Robinson
Marilynne Robinson was born in 1947 in Sandpoint, Idaho. After attending high school in Sandpoint she went to Brown University, graduating in 1966; she then enrolled in the graduate program in English at the University of Washington, where she started writing her first novel, Housekeeping (1981), which tells the story of two girls growing up in rural Idaho in the mid-1900s and is regarded by many as an American classic; it received the PEN/Hemingway award for best first novel and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. After the publication of Housekeeping, Robinson began writing essays and book reviews for Harper's, Paris Review, and The New York Times Book Review. She also served as writer-in-residence and visiting professor at numerous colleges and universities, including the University of Kent in England, Amherst College, and the University of Massachusetts.
Her second book, Mother Country: Britain, The Welfare State and Nuclear Pollution (1988), revealed the extensive environmental damage caused by the nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield, in the north of England; the book evolved from an essay that she wrote for Harper's Review and was a finalist for the National Book Award.
A decade later, Robinson published a collection of essays entitled The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought.
Gilead, her second novel, was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the US in November 2004, won universal acclaim from critics, as well as the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

11 culinary wizards share their tips for preparing gourmet meals that boost heart health, protect against diabetes and more

Courtesy of Joe Bastianich
Five years ago, Joe Bastianich, restaurateur and son of Italian-food expert Lidia Bastianich, was carrying 60 extra pounds and had a myriad of medical problems to show for it: sleep apnea, early symptoms of type 2 diabetes, dangerously high cholesterol levels, through-the-roof blood pressure. One doctor recommended medication and a mask to help him breathe at night; another strongly suggested he drop the weight. Bastianich chose the latter path and embarked on a diet and fitness regimen that included walking on a treadmill, first one mile, then two, until he was running, at which point the competitive bug bit him and he decided to try a 5K. A year and a half after he resolved to get into shape, Bastianich ran his first New York City Marathon. But he also changed how he cooked and ate, relying more on fresh vegetables and less on refined and processed foods. And while his Italian heritage wouldn't allow him to swear off pasta -- in fact, it fuels his running -- he often subs protein-packed beans for noodles, serving them with a fresh-veggie-based sauce, as in this white bean stew with Swiss chard and tomatoes.

When Is It Not Diabetes?
Eric Lagergren
March 24, 2011
Last evening I was all set to update my status on my Facebook page. The text I'd written was something along the lines of, "So far I've seemed to handle many of the tough things in my life pretty well, which is maybe why tonight I want to make a mountain out of a molehill." In fact, I'd already started shoring up a molehill.
That molehill? Oh, you'll really feel sorry for me: I had plans to meet some friends after the gym for a beer, but when I arrived early at the bar, the band (whose presence I hadn't expected) was way, way too loud. I couldn't stand it. Call me old. Call me grumpy. Just don't call me when that band's around, because I won't hear you.
I e-mailed my friends before they left their house and begged off our plans, eschewing the idea of going somewhere else, complaining, too, about the bar's acoustics and the god-awful noise. I'd anticipated a fun evening at that particular bar, and it was ruined.
I felt sorry for myself. I was touchy and tired, having stayed up too late the night before, and I was on an endorphin rush, too: I'd just had a great two-hour workout at the gym, one of the toughest spinning classes I've ever taken. So when my anticipated reward for my day — ending the evening with good beer and a friendly game of poker — fell through due to noise pollution, I became a whiner, he who makes mountains out of molehills.
I didn't status update about my pain, however. My filter was still in place, and I didn't feel, in the moment, like publicly railing about my perceived injustices. Instead, I went home to a quiet house and my under-the-weather spouse, watched a bit of TV with Kathryn, and then read for a few hours.
What the heck, you may be asking, does this have to do with diabetes? Everything. Want to know why?
At the gym I worried about my blood glucose while I was spinning because it was such a difficult workout, so I checked my bg half a dozen times during the hour-long class, drank some juice, had a PowerBar, and kept my eye on the bottle of Powerade that I would open if I started to go low.
I was pushing myself, and pushing hard during exercise — really hard — means some of my physical reactions can be similar to that of a low blood glucose coming on. Except I was loving the exercise quote-unquote pain, the high heart rate, the endorphin rush.
Except this caused me to instantly worry about the post-workout blood glucose levels. Have I pushed too hard? Should I have a beer afterwards? I don't know. But I want the beer. This was a tough class. I'm having the beer.
I'm going to be vigilant about monitoring my blood glucose while at the bar.
I'm driving to the bar and making a mental note of everything I need to remember to take into the bar. It's cold out, but not that cold, so I'm considering just wearing my fleece and not taking the larger, many-pocketed outer coat, in the pockets of which are extra carbs and a test kit. No, wait. The test kit is in my trunk, in my gym bag. And my insulin pump is in my work bag because I took it off before I went to the gym. I need to remember that, too: Get The Pump!
Since I don't want to wear my outer coat, I'm going to have to carry everything into the bar, but I don't have pockets now, or rather, the pockets I have are in filled with my iPhone, wallet, and soon the insulin pump, then keys.
See this? Diabetes, living with: it is a tough life!
Oh, then at the bar, the noise, and I'm sitting there wondering if I should check my blood glucose, all the while feeling somewhat incapacitated, which can happen, easily, when I have too many things going through my head: (1) cancel the plans with friends because of the noise; e-mail e-mail e-mail and hope they see it before they head out the door; (2) drink some of the beer now in front of me, which I already ordered before the band started playing and I realized it was too noisy, and I don't want the beer, but I can't leave a full beer, and I can't be a jerk and complain to the barkeep about the band noise; (3) check my blood glucose, because I'm feeling odd now and it may be any number of factors: (a) post-workout reaction, (b) awkward alone-at-the-bar feeling, (c) anxiety about what to do next, (d) I really am going low, (e) I'm hungry because it's now 7:30 and I haven't eaten since lunch; (4) text my wife to ask if she wants anything when I leave the bar and head home, since she's been sick all day; (5) figure out what I'm going to do for dinner because I'm not going to have the bar's delicious chicken quesidilla, which I was craving.
In the back of my mind it's diabetes. This whole time, diabetes. Blood glucose worries. Worried about precipitously dropping to a severe low. Yes, true, I have no precedent for the worries I'm accumulating, but I also haven't worked out that hard in a while, so how would my body react?
Which brings me around to the catalyst for this blog. I decided to try to cobble something together about the mountain/molehill thing when I was pouring a glass of water before bed: Can I ever find a block of time during which I don't have worried thoughts about my illness? Will I ever be able to completely accept that I'm doing a good job managing my illness? Not feel guilty about living — trying to live — a normal existence (howsoever you want to define normal)?
My mind sometimes — like last night — can do a great job turning my self-management attempts to one extreme or the other: either I'm going too far or not doing enough. Last night, the spinning, the exercise: maybe I'd gone too far, too much. I acted, at the gym (for the most part) as a person without diabetes. Pushing. Really pushing.
It seems, however, that this is part of the illness, and, at least for me, the type of issues I must learn to balance (learn, learn again, and then once more; repeat) for the remainder of my days.
Or keep having evenings like last night. If the molehills have to do with diabetes, can they ever really be molehills?
Hi, Type 1 Diabetes. You can really suck.
Hi, Eric. I know exactly what you feel about managing Diabetes type 1, all day long. Everyday, every hour, before and after meals, exercise, sex and even having fun with friends. Imagin, that it could be much worse if you were a woman, because you have an extra worry: hormons. Try to estabilize your glucose with this thing. You have two weeks of a good control and oher 2 weeks trying to find out what is happening with your body. when you discover what is going on, your hormons back to the normal state and you must back to older dose of insulin. It really sucks! I make exercises everyday and i discovered that if you do aerobic exercise intercalated with musculation you can start your week pushing hard but you have to decrease weight and intensity along the week. So, if you go spinning on friday, you must do it lightly. I'm trying to find out this equation of exercise duration in my body for the last 10 years. And this is what I can share with you. Sometimes I really wish that I could have a vacation of all this diabetes things... But we can't complain.. at least we can share our sufferings.. count on me!
Posted by: Eliane Yamashita | Mar 25, 2011 09:37 AM
Eliane, Yeah, well, I am male, but I can say that hormones are part of my issues with diabetes as well: Last year I had my thyroid removed (cancer) and went through five months of very bizarre hypothyroid issues during the radiation treatments and attempts to establish the correct dosage of daily thyroid hormone. (BTW, this is not an, ahem, "Who has more hormone problems" peeing contest, or anything like that.) Eric
Posted by: Eric L | Mar 25, 2011 10:37 AM
OK, I have a solution for you. After 46 years living with Type 1, the big issue now that I'm in my mid 60's is that you don't see the low's coming. (Adrenalin gland doesn't warn you any more like it did when I was younger). Avoiding the severe low's (like when your wife needs to call 911 because you're unconscious)has been my biggest problem in the past. The solution that is working now is to minimize the need for Humalog (or whatever instant type you use). I try to depend mostly on the Lantus. Of course, in order to do this, you have to dramatically minimize your carb intake. Check out my blog on how this works: http://typeonediabetic45.blogspot.com/
Posted by: Moe | Mar 25, 2011 07:22 PM
I'm interested to know that you have the same reaction to vigorous or prolonged exercise that I have -- I can't tell if how I'm feeling is due to the exercise, or due to a low. But that's why we have our handy-dandy meters with us. Which are now much more portable and easily usable than they were 20 years ago, when I was first diagnosed! :-) I understand your complaint about the band noise. I do not know why, these days, bands think they must deafen everyone. I don't like music or TV in restaurants anyway -- I go to talk with friends, and don't want to have to scream over the noise. So your feelings of discomfiture are totally understandable, and it's not making a mountain out of a molehill -- diabetes already gives you enough mountains to climb!
Posted by: Natalie Sera | Mar 27, 2011 07:29 PM
Hi, Our mutual doctor gave me your blog address. I really appreciated this entry as I take an intense spinning class in the area and wonder about checking myself during and the logistics of doing so. Boring questions here, but do you just keep spinning while you check? I like to work out hard but am also not sensing lows as well lately. Thanks again for writing your blog.
Posted by: Sarah | Mar 28, 2011 09:24 PM
You people are scaring the "hell" out of me. I was told by my doctor about 2 years ago that I am pre-diabetic. My A1c score originally was 6.7, and just last week it was down to 6.1. So, I am dieting and exercising to make sure my pre-diabetes doesn't go further. I will do just about anything to avoid being type 2 or type 1. I admire the dedication each of you have and hope and pray for all diabetics each day that your days are happy ones. So live simply, love seriously, care deeply, speak kindly and leave the rest to God.

Biography with images, videos and animations
Excerpt from "Great Modern Masters — Duchamp" and Bride Stipped Bare by Thomas Girst
In His Own Words and what some of his contemporaries had to say
Excerpt from "Great Modern Masters — Duchamp" and Bride Stipped Bare by Thomas Girst
The Bride Stripped Bare
by Her Bachelors, Even, commonly referred to as "the
Green Box," is a green-flocked, self-hinged cardboard
box containing one color plate and 93 facsimile reproductions
of notes, drawings, and photographs of the painting of the
same name. Marcel Duchamp, under the guise of his alter ego
Rrose Sélavy, produced 320 of these green boxes (of which
20 are deluxe editions) in 1934. Both regular and deluxe editions
are known as the Éditions Rrose Sélavy.
original painting, La Mariée Mise à Nu Par ses Célibataires,
Même ("The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors,
Even") was left unfinished. In 1923, after working on
it for nine years, Duchamp abandoned it. (The painting consists
of two large panels of glass, one above the other, displaying
the top and bottom of an intricate mechanical diagram. It
is usually called, simply, the Large Glass.) "All
along, while painting [the Large Glass], I wrote a
number of notes which were to compliment the visual experience
like a
guide book." (1) These
notes were intended "to accompany and explain (as might
an ideal exhibition-catalogue) my painting on clear glass."
