Check out our New York on the Potomac blog to read Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's full statement during today's hearings into the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which took a battering today from Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Check out our New York on the Potomac blog to read Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's full statement during today's hearings into the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which took a battering today from Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Senator Gillibrand needs to get involved with what Toxic
Exposure Veterans are currently going through at the
VA and DOD agencies, and THEN see how that issue pales
in comparison to this Gay "thing".
FYI: Sen. Gillibrand will be on at 6:28 pm tonight on CNN, Wolfe Blitzer's show.
She is standing up for Equality! Go Gillibrand!
#2. Right. Equality. No, she is fronting for the man behind the curtains who had to give his base something meaty to chew on… Her shilling for Schumer and the Pres has ruined her… what a flame out her career has become… to bad, I could stomach her….
This is a red herring issue, will change nothing, and only serve to get more $ from the gay lobby, etc…
# 3 you hit the nail on the head.
Funny how she has flip-floped on several issues and become more liberal since becoming a Sen. I guess you do what Chucky tells you to do.
3. I'd rather have served in combat with somebody who was openly gay than a hater who never served buttercup. It won't change anything for you…..because you never showed up.
1. The gay thing preceded the toxic exposure thing well before agent orange, depleted uranium, and KBR burn pits.
In this time of war, why exclude those who willingly want to serve?
We need all the soldiers we can get to protect our freedom. Who cares who they sleep with.
Senator Gillibrand is representing the entire state well on this issue.
The minority of homophobic bigots don't like it, but they were never going to vote for her anyway.
It's obvious this guy Blakeman can't beat Gillibrand. Can't the new republican chairman come up with any real candidates for not only this race, but other statewide races? How about any republicans who currently hold elective office aka "the bench." What a waste so far. I'm losing hope.
Let's encourage Senator Gillibrand to stand up for the rights of Gay Americans in the military, and also to look into Toxins such as "depleted" uranium which have harmed our servicemembers (not to mention Iraqis & Afghanis). I'd like to see her and the other Democrats start talking about getting the hell out Afghanistan & cutting the massive military budget.
She appears to be doing the right thing – so let's thank her and encourage her to do more!
How about if it aint broke dont fix it?
Why do democrats who know nothing of war, or haveing never been wariors mess with the military? Step off Dems, its a man thing.
During basic training, women had to shower together….10-12 at a time. It was not optional. To have to shower with a gay woman would be the same as having to shower with a straight man. I would not feel comfortable. The last thing we need during the times of war are the distractions of sexual attraction. And, no one is forcing gays to lie, just don't talk about your sexual preference. That goes for straights or gays. Congress and the Senate are the experts at lying. Let them shower together, they'd probably enjoy it. Thankfully, I retired. Good luck to the next generation of patriots.
11. Channeling 5 deferment Richard Bruce Cheney again Carl? Talking about knowing nothing of war! Reichwing tough guys who never served.
Three or Four Generations of Young Republicans: Generation Chickenhawk
There's a major part of this argument, I just don't understand. If I behave in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's apparently my problem, but if you do something that makes me uncomfortable, my objection to your behavior somehow becomes my problem as well?
As I understand the current policy, homosexuals are not prohibited from serving their country, they are restricted from, whatever, "openly displaying their sexual preference" might be discribed as. There are likely as many definitions of "openly" as there are demonstrations of being "open".
Currently soldiers are generally seperated by gender because of the obvious and distracting negative possibilities of fraternization as it would impact the "job at hand". As some of the rules have been relaxed relating to gender separation, as predicted and verified by the increased number of military pregnancies, fraternization has increased with predictable results.
It seems logical that individual discretion obscures a lot of interactive fraternization, likely both hetrosexual and to a lesser extent homosexual, and although not totally effective, that simple exercise of personal discretion eliminates a majorify of conflict with existing policies governing personal behavior of either gender.
Why does anyone, hetrosexual or homosexual, need to be more "open" about fraternization, that any sane and reasonable person understands is counterproductive to ANY military organization?
Once again, this insistance in framing this discussion in terms of civil rights, human rights or moral license far over reaches and dilutes the actual primary concern of effect, positive or negative, on the cohesiveness and capabilities of a military organization, where it shouldn't matter what sexual preference might be if the matter was kept private.
Perhaps the most sensible answer to this question lies in simply understanding the current policies and adjusting person behavior, which does not necessarily affect orientation, to comply with policies that should be designed to achieve military cohesiveness regardless of orientation.
If, or when, a personal need to express one's private orientation, either heterosexual or homosexual, exceeds that of their interest in concentrating on their job, it would be in the interests of that individual to conclude the military may not be the appropriate environment for them, rather than try and redesign the military environment.
Interesting some people and their holier than thou labels.
If you don't agree with Obama you're a racist, if you don't agree with Gillibrand you're a homophoic bigot…

Bit of an odd one this, - one of our schools is intermittently losing connection to their Smoothwall system. When it does this, the mac address reported by machines on their internal LAN for the Smoothwall LAN IP is actually that of the WAN interface!
The LAN and WAN macs are actually only one bit different, despite one interface being an Intel card and the other a Marvell one.
If I ping from an internal server, after the first reponse is received, the second one times out, and the ARP cache on the internal server has the mac address of the WAN interface listed for the LAN IP. The ARP table may recover for subsequent pings, however it frequently results in long periods of non-response.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this?

A gardener wishes for his plants to grow, but he's faced with a difficult time in getting them to sprout. He tries everything that he can think of to get the plants to grow, including magnets and balloons, but after crying over one of his plants, he discovers that he really needs to water them. Using an onion, a skull and some physical pain for inspiration, the farmer is able to cry enough tears to get the plants to sprout, but his crop falls victim to some hungry snails.

Microsoft Game-Hunting
As for Halo 3, the only detail Microsoft released was that it would launch next year. The company also showed some video footage from the game. The original Halo was considered to be one of the only "killer applications" for the first Xbox, helping drive sales of the game machine. Halo 2, released in the fall of 2004, was the top-selling game ever for the original Xbox. Analysts and gamers have been eagerly awaiting news of a sequel.
Microsoft launched the Xbox 360
But Microsoft expects sales and shipments to pick up now that it has a third manufacturing partner for the device. The company expects to reach 5 million shipments by the end of next month and 10 million shipments before Sony releases the PlayStation 3 this November, Moore said.
"Our No. 1 priority was to get consoles to shelves as quickly as we possibly could," Moore said, acknowledging that the company has hit some "potholes" along the way.Sony plans its own ambitious launch for the PlayStation 3. At a

The Group's conferences are where members meet to study buildings and discuss their findings. Conferences are open to all members.
Spring Conferences
In the spring we meet in a different part of the country each year to visit a selection of buildings in the local vernacular tradition. Local experts are on hand to explain the background and more experienced members help others to interpret them. In the evenings, lectures and discussions allow the day's findings to be explored further.
Recent spring conference venues:
- 2000 - Staffordshire
- 2001 - Suffolk
- 2002 - Ireland-Dublin
- 2003 - Essex
- 2004 - Yorkshire
- 2005 - North Wales
- 2006 - Somerset
- 2007 - Cambridgeshire
- 2008 - Devon
- 2009 - Jersey
- 2010 - Northumbria
- 2011 - Oxfordshire
- 2012 - East Midlands
- 2013 - South Wales
- 2014 - Gloucestershire
Future spring conferences include:
- 2015 - Cumbria (7-11 July 2015)
- 2016 - Lincolnshire (29 March - 2 April 2016)
- 2017 - Hertfordshire
- 2018 - North Wales
Spring Conference Bursaries
Bursaries are offered each year to enable a registered student or a professional in the early years of his or her career to attend the spring conference. Details on how to apply for a bursary for the next Spring Conference will be published here in due course.
Winter Conferences
The winter conference takes a theme of current interest and explores it in depth through papers given by experts in the field.
Recent winter conference themes include:
- December 1999 - The Use of Tree-ring Dating for Research
- December 2000 - Vernacular Architecture and Related Fields
- December 2001 - The Transition from the Medieval to the Early-Modern House Revisited
- December 2002 - News From the Regions
- December 2003 - VAG 50th Anniversary Conference: Celebration and Speculation
- December 2004 - Vernacular Buildings and the Church
- December 2005 - Buildings, Rebuildings and Vernacular Thresholds
- December 2006 - Houses of Mud and Earth
- December 2007 - Towns and Town Houses 1000-1700
- December 2008 - Marginal Architecture
- December 2009 - The Polite Threshold
- January 2011 - Service Rooms, Servants' Chambers, and Storage
- January 2012 - Where, When and Why? - Themes and Ideas in Vernacular Architecture Studies inspired by J T Smith
- January 2013 - The Medieval Peasant House Revisited
- January 2014 - Attention to Detail
Winter Conference 2015
The next winter conference will be held in association with the Historic Farm Buildings Group at the University of Leicester on 3-4 January 2015 on the theme Farmsteads in Focus. This weekend will place the farmhouse at the heart of the working farmstead and landscape: we'll be looking at the way in which economic changes and technical innovation affected the appearance, construction and planning of both the house and the farm buildings, with emphasis on the centuries before the classic age of agricultural improvement. One theme of the weekend will be to explore how 'walking the parish' observing the surface geology, field, settlement and communication patterns can provide invaluable leads when planning area surveys of vernacular buildings.
Full details and booking forms are being sent out to members during the week beginning 10 November 2014 (by email to those who have agreed to this form of communication, and by post to everyone else). Members can also download the leaflet and booking form by logging in to the Members' Area.
Winter Conference Bursaries
Bursaries are offered each year to enable a registered student or a professional in the early years of his or her career to attend the winter conference. Details on how to apply for a bursary for the next Winter Conference will be published here in due course.
Oxford Weekend Schools
The Group contributes to an annual weekend school held in Oxford in the autumn and run by the Oxford University Department of Continuing Education. It is open to the public and topics have included:
- The Vernacular Workshop - from craft to industry, 1400-1900
- Housing for the Masses, 1800-2000
- Diffusion and Invention - vernacular building in England and the New World
- Estate Building: The Impact of Estates on the Built Landscape
- Vernacular Interiors in the British Tradition
- Markets and Market Places
- Medieval Domestic Cultures
- The Eighteenth Century Town House
- Medieval Communal Life and its Buildings
- Getting About: Buildings and Inland Transport
- Workers' Homes: Improvement and Technology
Oxford Weekend School 2015
The next weekend school will take place on Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2015 on the topic Vernacular Revivals. Architects have long sought inspiration from traditional buildings. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, vernacular revival idioms became fashionable and had a lasting impact on the identity of town and country, both here and abroad. But the motives, conscious and unconscious, were (and still are) complex and ambiguous. This weekend explores some of the hidden forces behind the use of the vernacular, which could be used to dominate or assimilate, to reassure or provoke. Booking is not yet open but a draft copy of the programme and booking form may be viewed here, and further information will be published when available on the Oxford University Department of Continuing Education website.
Tip: if all the residential places on weekend schools are already taken, you may be able to find alternative student accommodation in Oxford at various prices via University-Rooms.
Other Conferences and Visits
Visit to France 2016
We hope to arrange a VAG trip to the Maine region of France in June 2016.
Visit to Denmark
The VAG organised a trip to Denmark on 8-14 June 2014, visiting a number of historic towns and some of the many long-established folk museums, where historic buildings have been collected together to illustrate the regional differences.
Saeters and Stave Churches
The group organised a tour to Norway on 16-26 June 2011 to visit some of its notable timber buildings - and also see something of the scenery and the country. These images of Norwegian houses and scenery were sketched by VAG member Malcolm Birdsall some twenty-five years ago (copyright reserved).

I believe bastille is used as firewall but not sure how to configure through ISPConfig.
Does this mean I have to manage rules through SSH manually which I'm not familiar that too, newbie here :/
The manual that you link to is for a different software "ISPConfig 2" and not for "ISPConfig 3".
The Firewall in ISPConfig 3 is under System > Firewall.
Open TCP ports
Open UDP ports
Let say I want to block SSH port 22 or any other service port except while I'm connected through VPN which gives me a certain static IP. Other than my IP the rest will be blocked for that port.
I don't think I can do it only with those 4 options.
The ispconfig firewall exists only to block ports for servcies installed on your server for all IP addresses. It is not made for vpn setups, routing, nat etc. If you need a more advanced rules,you can either set them as custom rules in the bastile-firewall custom rules script or use ufw firewall instaead were you can set them with the ufw firewall cli tool.

Re: The Aperture Science Storyteller Sphere Test || Portal <Updated 12-4-11>
Review request by Metal~
First off, Chapter One and grammar~
Loud whirrs. Machinery working behind countless walls. Hundreds of eyes looking everywhere. Old Aperture, new Aperture, between Aperture, surface of Aperture, white walls, dangerous catwalks, broken down walls from years of neglect. Pitiful. It would take valuable testing time to clean up the mess that idiot had made. And then there were the years of neglect, and implementing the new test subjects, the hole in the roof
pitiful. The hole in the roof was jury-rigged shut though. She had stuck a panel to it
now. Judging by her new records, some of the new test subjects were craftsmen and workers. That was good; they could fix things where she couldnt reach. But they were also more dangerous. They would have key cards and lock codes, overrides, things that would break her security measures like Rattman and Subject 1 did. 1 was leaving, Rattman had been darting in and out of her peripheral cameras for years. Fitting that his name was so close to his behavior.
In general, don't put a space between the ellipses and the words. I never do XD
And then there was a loud
from the panel covering the hole in the
as it was. There were two holes up there actually. The one from her murder, and the one from the idiot. Someone may have found the upper level of Aperture, that parking lot in Cleveland. If it still was Cleveland. She had no real interest in the place, but
, there were definitely voices from up there. And voices meant more test subjects. Usually. It could as easily have been 1 returning. That was a big no. If only her eyes up there were working too. Oh well. There were, as was said, more than one ways to
skin a cat
, dull though that would be. Cats were not good test subjects. Hardly worth the effort of skinning.
"Tapping" should be lowercase, 'roof' and 'skin a cat' should be in quotations since you are more or less quoting something. And same problem with the ellipses as before.
Blue. Orange. There is something new for you to do,
said, her voice reverberating through the halls of Aperture Laboratories. Distressing. Test subjects would be needed as quickly as possible. What good were testing chambers if no one tested them? A claw deposited the two robots, one with a blue eye the other with an orange. They had more specific names. Not yet earned, though. They looked either eager or scared, though they had no provisions to show either through vocal tones. Orange was skinny, turret body, thin long limbs for proper balance and quick mobility. Blue short and stocky, thick limbs made of a personality core. Both carried Aperture Science Handheld Portal Devices. There are voices originating from above the testing course. I need the two of you to perform reconnaissance. Observe the source. If they are viable test subjects then
There was an explosion that rocked the entire chamber, knocking the two robots down and giving her what she felt was an approximation of whiplash.
Due to the comma in the words, it isn't a new sentence. Thus, "She" should really be "she". And why the double dash (--)? One should suffice.
They had attempted to bomb something up there. Her eye narrowed and she glared at the panel. Black Mesa, no doubt. There to steal her research and all the new
Come to think of it, she had felt a strange pricking while 1 was on the way up
must have been what was happening.
And she
is of
Apertures most carefully guarded secrets.
I feel as if "one" should be in there.
Its almost too bad that you wont succeed. These next tests? No one ever solved them. But Im sure youll do fine. After all
not trying to kill you.
Were they to know the truth of things, their expressions wouldnt have softened that small bit they did. The panels flipped shut again and GLaDOS was practically grinning. The malice could almost be heard in her cold monotone, and a note of
Weve got a lot of work to do. Please, try your hardest. If at first you dont succeed There was a loud burst of controlled static from the speakers outside, and she said to herself
fail. Blue, Orange, start tearing out those wires. I want my body ready to be brought back in to the facility as soon as possible. I want to know what they got off of my brain.
Yep, ellipses are not your strong point XD
Also, I think "This is GLaDOS" needed another space below it.
In short, I did like the story. However, I felt it was too choppy - it didn't have a lot of flow. I realize GLaDOS doesn't make a ton of sense - doesn't flow - quite a bit, and that this is her thought process...But it almost seems
choppy. Just when I start to get immersed, I get yanked out of it by all the fragments.
Another word of caution is that when you switch to a new scene - such as outside - you usually start a new paragraph. Otherwise, the scene change doesn't really stand out and just seems slapped on, as it did here.
You have a lot of techno babble, and you did get into the character's mind very well, however. You've always been skilled with that.
I'd give a more full review, but the chapter was short...^^' If you want me to review the short, I can as well, but for the most part you had problems with ellipses and when to capitalize.
"I don't know." Random replied.
"I don't know," the random guy replied.
^ Note when it was capitalized, and when not. Treat it like the quotation isn't there, and think of how it would be in a normal sentence. You usually don't capitalize after commas, just as you usually capitalize after a period, exclamation point, or question mark. ;D

Hi Betsy,
Do you test your bg levels regularly? I check mine at rising, before meals and 2 hours after eating. If your insurance wil not provide strips for enough testing each day you can rotate the times of day. Log your results, log what you eat. Make sure that you are brutally honest about things (I had a problem with this!). I found that while some things seemed to be harmless for others it was horrible for me. On the diabetes boards we call it YMMV, your mileage may vary, because each of is very different.
I was diagnosed 12 years ago, I stayed off meds for many years but am now on Metformin and Victoza. My weight is never where I want it but I am dtermined to fight this disease as best I can. Please don't give up on it, you can win enough of the battles to hold it at bay. Have you read Dr. Bernstein's book? If not then I encourage you to try it. That was what finally brought it all together for me.

Had a doc appt yesterday. What a joke. He wouldn't order the VAP test, wouldn't even discuss alternative ways of lowering cholesterol, refused to consider ordering any additional thyroid tests because my TSH is normal, even though he even said he couldn't understand why I have such high cholesterol since I'm doing so good with FBG (average is in the mid 80s now) & weight loss, then he said he thinks I should stop taking the metformin. I told him I work hard to keep my blood glucose low with diet, exercise and metformin but if I went off the met I would have to reduce the amount of carbs I consume. I ended up telling him I would not see him again, I'd ask for a different doctor next time. He gave me a referral to the diabetic clinic and wrote on it that I didn't understand the disease and refused to take meds for CAD. Last time he said the diabetes clinic was for uncontrolled diabetics and I didn't need it. I should have said what a jerk, not what a joke. The only thing that saved my sanity today was this little youtube video - Lipitor Paradox

Over the last 3 months I have made a lot of changes and my BG,athritis,blood pressure
and weight are all a lot better. But which change did what I don't know.
I started using a lot of stevia, mostly the raw leaf form of it not the extract. There
are some studies saying the compleat leaf has blood sugar lowering properties that
may not be experienced when using the store bought extract. I think it has helped
some but don't know how much. By the way " Stevia in the raw" is not raw it is an
extract only having one of the compounds found in Strvia. Oh and Stevia may help
lower your blood pressure some studies say it does and som say it doesn't.
I stopped eating when watching TV,on the computer or reading. Then started doing
Fast5 and Juddd. So I have lost 32lbs as of this morning but please if you find this
"lost weight" do not return it!
I have started eating a lot more fiber and low GL carbs and am no longer doing low carb.
I changed from taking my Byetta twice a day to once a day.
I haven't been exercising nearly as much as I was which makes the results I have had
realy outstanding.
Well my morning BG is now about 20 points lower, my blood pressure is about 15 points
lower and my insulin resistance seems to be a great deal lower. A big meal that would
have sent my Bg up to 200-220 2 hours after eating now peaks me out in the 115-130
DR. Johnson does warn that his JUDDD may not be suitable for a diabetic but it seems to
be working for me pretty darn well.
I may stop using the Stevia for a while to see what part if any it's been playing with my
inproved BG numbers.
Well today is an UD so Golden Corral here I come! I realy love this WOE!

My fasting blood sugar this morning was 157. That's only the second time in 4 years it's been under 200. The first was just a few short months ago and it was 194. I'm so excited to see what the meter will read in the morning.

Hey all! I'm new here, just joined LCF.
I was diagnosed in Sept. 2011, with a fasting # around 300 and an A1C of 12.2%. In 3 months I've managed to get my fasting #'s down to the 80's/90's most days and my new A1C is 5.9%!
I'm on 1000 mg. of Metformin and 5 mg. lisinopril. I'm really lucky that I don't have any side effects from the Met; I've heard some of the horror stories. I don't know that I ever want to go off the Met, though maybe I can get to the point of reducing the dose to 500 mg. It's really helped with my weight loss.
I thought I would absolutely die without my carbs, but so far I do not miss them (except fruit), and I really like being able to eat so much fat. And my triglycerides, which were at 267, are now at 119! So much for the "fat is bad" message...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted on this thread in a looong time. It is nice to see people with encouraging results. Vilya, welcome to LCFs! Congrats on seeing your numbers improve--you are doing great.
I have been doubling down on my efforts to get my health back in control the last few months after having a few health scares. I had let my sugar levels get way too high over the last two years and I am paying a price for that. I'm glad for how resilient our bodies are when we start taking care of them again though, right?
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Cheers, Sue

Just wanted to let everyone know, I have Type 2

I got the book at the library and have been following
it faithfully, for 4 weeks.
The recipes are crazy good!
I tried a few new vegetables, Celeriac Root and

100 fasting and usually under 110 after meals.
I check my Blood Sugars constantly! I feel like
I'm addicted to poking my finger instead of sugar (:
Anyways, I ordered his book on Amazon and his Cook
Book, too....
My Brain fog and tiredness have disappeared and each
day I feel better and better.
Also, a lot less numbness in my hands and feet.
Lastly, I write in my journal to let me remember where
I was and where I'm going, because it is definitely a
My advice to anyone is to immediately give up the
Soda. I work at a school and I just had an 11 year old
girl tell me she was diagnosed with Type 2! It really is

unless we take charge of our own health.

Just had another A1C check, and I've gone from 5.9% to 5.5%.
Cholesterol is higher overall, but trigs and HDL are still good, so I'm not worried. I'm going to get back to taking my fish oil every day and stop missing so much. Hopefully that will help my trigs and HDL even more.

Turning Over A New Leaf
I was diagnosed as a T2 in October 2009, put on insulin and metformin along with bp meds and cholesterol meds. I was good as first, but as time went on I got bad and stopped checking my numbers and eating bad. Had blood work done last week and saw doc today. All my numbers were way up.....
fasting - 178
random - 326
a1c - 7.8
Decided that I need to start eating lower carb, but will have to be careful. My insulin has been upped to 34 units before breakfast and supper - when I stop going lower with my levels and they aren't where they need to be after 3 or 4 days, I increase by 2 units - Novolog 70/30 mix, still metformin 1000 2x daily. lisinopril 40mg 1x daily. Crestor 10mg 1x daily. fenofibrate 145mg 1x daily.
i also have asthma and back problems from when i had 2 spinals for c-sections, so i am going to try walking 15 to 20 minutes a shot around dusk because that seems to be when it is coolest. may try it also after breakfast mornings that i don't have to run errands and such with my mom.
also have allergies and am taking generic benadryl at night to stop the stuffy and runny nose. can that have any effect on blood sugar levels?
i'm wondering if using the journal section in here to do a daily or at least weekly report will help me to stay on track this time.
I welcome any and all suggestions and pointers to get to where I need to be.
Thanks everyone.

I used to be on insulin . . . never as much as you take but my A1C had been 7.6. I have lost a lot of weight and now run in the mid 5.5 ish range. I did it by eating low carb. I don't journal but it does help some people.
I think aside from my LC eating was just getting the mindset that I eat this way and need to. I have tried to eliminate the concept of dessert. I do occasionally indulge but in the real thing. I don't use the 'fake' desserts. I try to drink as much water as I possibly can. I have found it much like when I quit smoking many years ago. I had to keep trying until I became a non-smoker. Now I am definitely a LCer! I am more consistent as the days roll on. I am 62 yrs old and retired because of an on the job accident.
I wish you the best in your efforts . . . it's possible to get off insulin unless your pancreas is totally shut down.

I went to the doctor today for my physical. I have been tracking my BG numbers like Dr. Bernstein says to do in his book. My numbers run anywhere from 92-120. My fasting BG is always over 100.
I have been LCing for six weeks, so I was expecting my A1C to be high. It was 5.4 so I was pretty happy about that. My trig were down to 182. They had previously been around 350.
I asked her if I could start taking one of the long acting insulins to try and get my morning BG numbers down. She started me out on 10 units of Lantus per night. I was a little scared to give myself a shot but it didn't even hurt at all. So glad!

Hi Cindi. That's happening to me now. When I was diagnosed in 2010, my husband and two adult sons, who both still live at home, all went through the process of discovering low-carb wol with me. They were all very supportive and we stopped having any high-carb foods in the house. It was good for all of us and we all lost varying amounts of weight. Then my youngest daughter moved back home a year ago. She has always been a high-carb eater, it's mostly all she eats. I even watch 3 grandchildren (from a different daughter) everyday before & after school and it's been easier to control them than it is the daughter that moved home. (I suspect they don't get enough protein at home because they're perfectly happy having cheese sticks and hard-boiled eggs for snacks after school!) It's been really tough on everyone having her food in the house again, and I've discovered what it's like to be sorely tempted. I haven't given in, though. In fact, I think it's had the opposite effect on me, but I've seen everyone else slowly suffer carb creep. The only good thing is she is becoming more aware of carbs herself but since she doesn't have any weight problems, and she wasn't here for the whole "diagnosis & discovery" saga, she still doesn't "get it" the way the rest of us to. I have to remind them all that they can't continue to eat a high fat diet if they're going to add carbs back in.

I just started low carb today. I start and then I start feeling yucky because my blood sugars drop and I really dislike how this feels. I love fruit so my first day and I am eating grapes. I feel so much better without all the bread etc. I am going to start water aerobics tomorrow. I was doing well and got bronchitis and was out of work for 2 weeks and went back to that mindless eating as I call it. So far no problems with the diabetes and I would really like to keep it that way.

Non-diabetics typically stay around 85 all the time. I try to stay around there as much as possible.
If you go the ADA's website and click on the "Diabetes Basics" tab, then "Pre-diabetes," it will tell you what their current diagnostic numbers are, for each test they use. Personally, I believe their numbers are too high (should be diagnosed at a lower number).
I go by what the Blood Sugar 101 website says, as I agree with her numbers.

One time I did an experiment. During a family barbecue, I waited until everyone had totally pigged out on barbecue, potato salad, beer, brownies, etc., and then asked if anyone wanted their blood sugar checked. To my surprise, a few were curious and wanted to do it. So I checked them and NONE of them were over 110! Ever since then, my opinion is that is normal is never over 110 no matter what you eat. So that is my target, never over 110, and most of the time I can do it if I stay very low carb and take my supplements.
I think the 140 that BS101 recommends is too high. Just my opinion based on how my body reacts when I get even over 125. My inner ears hurt and I don't feel good. Keep it under 110 and you will feel way better.

The Worship Of Durga
Gautam Saha: DURGA IN THE HINDU RELIGIOUS TRADITION
The Hindu diaspora today celebrates Durga pooja with much fanfare all over India and in all the continents, wherever there is some aggregation of Hindus in any given city or town, in any part of the world. In India, Durga Pooja is celebrated with much fanfare in West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Assam, the north eastern states and of course, in all other states of India, though on a smaller scale. It is also celebrated with much fanfare in Bangladesh, where Muslims patronize and whole heartedly support and nurture the culture and celebration by Hindus of Durga Pooja. It would not be wrong to state that though today Durga Pooja is patronized and celebrated by all Hindu communities, it is primarily organized by the Bengalis residing in that particular town or city. Bengalis worship the ten handed form of Mother Durga riding a lion.
Durga is also worshipped by other Hindu communities in the forms of Bhavani ( eight handed ), Parvati, Chandika, Narayani, Devi, Sati, Mayadevi, Annapurna, Kali, Bhadrakali, Mahakali, etc; some of these forms have six hands and some have four hands. Most of these forms show the mother goddess riding a tiger / tigress.
In the narration of the pastimes of the gopis in Brindavan, it is mentioned that they worshipped the goddess Katyayani ( Durga ) for benediction in their love life with Lord Krishna. There is also evidence in the Ramayana that Sita worshipped Durga to obtain Lord Ramachandra as her husband.
The significance of Durga in the Hindu cultural and religious tradition has been ingrained since Vedic times. For most Hindus, the idol of Durga killing the demon Mahisasura with a lance, after he appears from the slain body of the buffalo in which he had been hiding, is ingrained into the Bengali psyche and of most Hindus as well. By this slaying, Durga personifies the victory of good over evil, something that all spiritually inclined persons would seek and cherish.
The mother goddess Durga is thus portrayed as the most powerful 'mother' who protects her children. Durga protects, Durga provides, and Durga punishes. When children are beaten or chastised by their mother, all of them invariably think that they are 'innocent' and that they have been unjustly punished. Durga is the personification of the material forces that govern all processes in the material world.
Material life is invariably full of happiness and distress which come and go on their own, without our even having to make an effort for them, The Srimad Bhagavad Gita warns ( 2.14 ) : "O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of the winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed."
Material nature is very powerful. At every moment of our lives we are under its influence. The circumstances and situations through which each of us passes are all determined by the various actions and interactions of material nature. Since mother Durga represents the full force and fury of material nature, Hindus generally worship devi Durga for protection and succour.
Each jiva or atma is a separate and independent fragmental part of the Lord, Who is also known as paramatma, similar to Him in quality, just as a drop of water is similar in quality to the vast ocean. At some point in time, each jiva desired to 'enjoy' matter separately from the Lord. It is immaterial to know at which point in time the individual jiva desired to enjoy separately from the Lord. In response, the Lord, who grants everyone his wishes, put the countless jivas into play by injecting them into material nature. "It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father ." ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita 14.4 ).
Once the jiva or atma or the living entity is injected into material nature into any one of the 84,00,000 species of wombs, he has to act under the overall jurisdiction and superintendence of the material energy, also known as maya, and personified by the goddess Durga. And so, as individual living entities, even though we feel that we are moving and acting independently, we are all under the strict rules and regulations imposed by material nature, which includes the processes of birth, ageing, disease and death. Hence Durga, also known as Mayadevi or just maya, is the personification of the material creative forces.
Since all manifestations and energies in the whole of creation are emanations from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the power of devi Durga is also a part of the Lord's inconceivably tremendous power and potency. The Lord is full of various potencies. The individual jiva or atma is a fragment of His internal spiritual potency ( just as a drop of water is of the same quality as the vast ocean ). On the other hand, the material energy which manifests and transforms the whole of the material creation, and keeps it in a constant state of flux, is also a marginal potency of the Lord, and is called bahirangi maya, which is the sum total of all material creations and processes.
Where does devi Durga stand in the Lord's overall scheme of things ?
The Srimad Bhagavatam states ( 1.3.2 purport ) : "Material nature has no power to create without the power of the purusa, just as prakriti, or woman, cannot produce a child without the touch or connection of a purusa, the man. The purusa impregnates while the prakriti delivers. We should not expect any independent creative powers from prakriti, or the material ingredients. We must believe in the power of the purusa, who impregnates prakriti or material nature."
It is advised by scriptures such as the Srimad Bhagavad Gita as well as the Srimad Bhagavatam that we should be less obsessed with the material condition and be more concerned for the journey of our soul, which is eternal. Our material concerns in this life will end with this body. Yet we are obsessed with this body and its attainments, its successes, its honour, its glory, its material possessions, bank balance, familial connections, etc; instead of being periodically punished and thrashed by maya, we should strive to come out of her clutches, since we are just her playthings, like a doll in the hands of a child.
The Srimad Bhagavatam states ( 1.2.29 purport ) : "Therefore, all culture of knowledge, austerities, sacrifices, and activities should be aimed at changing the quality of the influence that is acting upon us, the living entities. For the present, we are all being controlled by the external energy of the Lord ( apara prakriti ), and just to change the quality of the influence to the internal superior energy of the Lord ( para prakriti ), we must endeavour to cultivate spiritual energy. In the Bhagavad Gita (9.13-14), it is said that those who are mahatmas, or those whose minds have been so broadened as to be engaged in the service of Lord Krishna, are under the influence of the internal potency, and the effect is that such broad minded living beings are constantly engaged in the service of the Lord without deviation."
In our desire to lord it over material nature, we, as individual living entities, think that we are masters of all we survey and that we shall achieve this and we shall achieve that. But each achievement is also attended by countless anxieties, frustrations, sufferings, and sometimes, complete reversals. Each individual has strong aspirations to enjoy, and there is competition among living beings as to who will be able to garner the maximum enjoyment. But ultimately all our efforts are thwarted by death, and sometimes much earlier too. In the material world, every individual is given the chance to enjoy, and side by side, also the chance to understand his true constitutional position as an eternal servitor of the Lord. Those fortunate living entities who catch the truth and surrender unto the lotus feet of Lord Krishna after many, many births in the material world, join the eternally liberated souls and are thus allowed to enter the spiritual kingdom.
Hence the worship of mother Durga is just a preliminary or intermediate stage in our journey to develop lasting love for the Supreme Lord Krishna. In our attempt to progress toward the eternal and ultimate Truth, the Supreme Lord, we are dazzled, intimidated and foxed by His variegated displays in the form of natural phenomena and the powerful interplays of material nature ( His external marginal potency ). In the process, we tend to forget or overlook the Lord Himself and His eternal spiritual form in Vaikuntha, where He resides in His satchitananda vigraha form ( eternally full of knowledge and bliss ), surrounded and lovingly served by His pure devotees and associates. As we progress steadily in our spiritual path, we begin to realize that maya can no longer have any effect on us and that we come directly under the Lord's personal protection, and we begin to reestablish our broken relationship with Him, which is a result of our past foolishness and desire for independence from Him.
The difficulties placed in our devotional path by maya is indeed like the tough and very difficult questions in an examination for a very high degree or exalted position. Durga, or maya, is the Lord's authorized agent, assigned the responsibility of separating the men from the boys.

The minimalist guide for holiday dorks
Posted: Friday, Dec. 03, 2010
Emily Achenbaum Harris
Hi, I'm Emily and this is my blog about career-questioning, minimalism-seeking, gardening, earth-saving, pregnancy, parenthood, and my pathological ability to make the same mistakes over and over again. See more at littlehousesouthernprairie. wordpress.com.
The anti-consumer minimalist in my heart believes in keeping my focus on The Reason for The Season this December, and exchanging little more than Christmas tree ornaments, cards and cookies is not only all I need, but freeing.But what if you also like glitter? And reindeer figurines that hold candles in their antlers? OMG glittery reindeer candle holders?! Wheres the sweet spot between eschewing all the insane, totally unfulfilling holiday shopping excess and stress, and still enjoying some of the cuteness? I dont like the way a lot of minimalism doesnt seem to leave room for The Cute. It seems the choices are emotionally and financially exhausting consumerism, or keeping it simple by making 40,000 things by hand. Sweet lordy, no! There is a third choice.Ive figured out what gives me the December fuzzies, and its not shopping, gift wrapping, or lots of parties. Nor is it solemnly reciting everything Im grateful for all day long while staring at the grey sky.I want the smells the sights the idea of magic. So Im walking the streets of my neighborhood in the early evening, smelling the delicious smoke coming from the chimneys. (Our fireplace is off limits this year; currently blocked by our coffee table as the baby kept climbing in it, or using the fireplace screen to practice walking).Im boiling cinnamon sticks in water on the stove, and made sleigh bell straps to hang from our door out of old belts bought at the Salvation Army for 99 cents.I made a gingerbread house with my relatives after we hosted Thanksgiving, and am plotting the design of the babys Christmas stocking. I found a red velvet dress at a yard sale for $2, and thats all I need to take a sweet Christmas photo of her.Smoke, sleigh bells, cinnamon, sugar, velvet, crafting, baby sweetness thats what makes December wonderful for me. I can forget the rest.But I did enjoy one more thing.Two weeks ago I hit the Southern Christmas Show here in Charlotte. It has more than 650 exhibitors and attracts 100,000 people, some of whom come by chartered bus. I wore a cranberry-colored shirt and dressed the baby in green to prevent being called a communist, pelted with pine cones, doused in powdered sugar and flambéed into a holiday pull-apart cake ($5.99 a slice, $8.99 for two). Walking the aisles is like snorting a Christmas speedball, and the crowd that day featured 5,000 middle-aged white women who were likely thinking to themselves, today is the day I get to live inside a Thomas Kinkade painting at last!(Susan Orlean fans, which I assume is everyone? Read this: http://www.susanorlean.com/articles/art_for_everybody.html).I didnt buy anything, nor did I plan to. Its a lot of over-priced crap from China, some dubiously homemade things, and stuff that defies category, like my favorite find of the day: An oil painting of Santa in Washington, D.C., reading from the Bible to school children, with multiple war monuments and statues crowded into the background (yours for $300). After walking around for 45 minutes I felt high off the fumes of apple potpourri and like Id chugged a gallon of fudge.But that, for me, was the fun.A little magic, a little silliness, a little glitter.Happy December, everyone! Wishing you a calm, quiet, snuggly month.

One thing you hear a lot is that people who ignore herstory are doomed to repeat it, but the inverse is also true sometimes. People who ignore herstory can also be doomed not to repeat it, when maybe they should be repeating it! A lot of times, in the rush and tumble of progress, we leave behind perfectly good ideas. To use a fitting analogy, you're not supposed to throw the baby out with the bath water, but sometimes you are in a hurry because the movie is about to start and you can't just leave the house with all that bath water in there, so later, with your new baby, you should remember to put it in a cage so that the water can get through the bars of the cage and they can breathe the fresh street air. (Those who ignore analogies are doomed to make GREAT ANALOGY, GABE!) In conclusion, Baby Cage. Class dismissed.

Tell us your holiday IT nightmares in video and you could win!
Ever go home for the holidays and wind up troubleshooting or fixing family computers? Ever spend an hour with an aunt or uncle showing them, finally, how to set up email on their iPhone? Or use FaceTime? While Apple's software and hardware are notoriously easy to use, it is inevitable that the circuit-savvy among us will be called into active nerd duty when we head home for a spell.
With that in mind, we're working with Los Angeles startup FilmThis to bring you a fun holiday treat this year. Just express your holiday IT stories in video form and use this special FilmThis page to enter. The videos with the most votes will win the prizes listed on that page, courtesy of your friends at TUAW.
Be creative and have fun! You're not limited to Apple stories, really, as many a family has converted to Mac after spending too many Thanksgiving dinners trying in vain to get Skype to work on an aging PC at grandma's house. Tell us your craziest stuff and put it on the FilmThis page (note: You'll need a Facebook account to log in and enter, plus our normal giveaway rules apply as do those for FilmThis).
To everyone going somewhere for the holidays, we wish you patience and safe travels!
