5 Tips for Dog Parents During National Walk Your Dog Week
Growing up, I never had any pets. They were strictly forbidden in our house because my parents couldn't stand the thought of animal hair in the house. Well, I take that back, for awhile we had an aquarium full of fish but they're about as fun to play with as a pet rock. Despite my lack of pet exposure for 18 years, I've always been an animal lover. I have a unique bond with cats especially that just comes naturally. Dogs on the other hand, … [Read more...]

'Deliver Us From Evil' will leave you snickering, not scared
A review of the horror film "Deliver Us From Evil," which is more silly than scary. It got 1.5 stars out of 4.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review ★½
'Deliver Us From Evil,' with Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, Olivia Munn, Sean Harris, Joel McHale. Directed by Scott Derrickson, from a screenplay by Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman. 118 minutes. Rated R for bloody violence, grisly images, terror throughout and language. Several theaters.
Before the action begins, the horror film "Deliver Us From Evil" tells us that it is "inspired by actual accounts"; by the time it's over, we're wondering which moments were rooted in reality. The people wandering the New York boroughs who appear to have had their hair and makeup done by a graduate of the Zombie Beauty Academy? The perfectly convenient instant at which a corpse's stomach explodes (a scene guaranteed to put you off your lunch and quite possibly the next day's meals)? The mental institution that appears to have only one employee? The mysterious way in which it appears to be daytime in one part of the city and nighttime in another at the same time?
In other words, this is a pretty routine and occasionally silly demonic-possession flick, which distinguishes itself by making us wait so long for the exorcism that heads may be spinning in the audience as well. Eric Bana, giving it his all, plays Sgt. Ralph Sarchie, an NYPD veteran who's deeply troubled by the horrors he's seen in his South Bronx precinct, and Edgar Ramirez is Father Joe Mendoza, a renegade priest who's convinced that some of these hideous crimes are the result of demons among us. After an eternity, these two handsome crimefighters finally team up — they're like really moody superheroes — to catch the bad guys.
Director Scott Derrickson ("Sinister") tarts things up with jittery editing, an excess of bodily fluids (some in very strange colors; were these people drinking antifreeze?), and the creepiest rendition you'll ever hear of "Pop Goes the Weasel." Some of it's shivery, but a lot of it is familiar from similar movies. Deliver me from this "Evil," please.

Built to Last
It's a university town of about 210,000 people with a history of strong social activism and grassroots activity. Sound familiar? It's actually Freiburg, Germany, which also happens to be Madison's sister city, a partnership now twenty-three years strong. Although Madison is one of Forbes Magazine's Top 25 Green Cities, Freiburg has a significant leg up when it comes to renewable energy and sustainable living—one that Capitol East District planners are using as a model moving forward.
Freiburg citizens became heavily invested in renewable energy in the 1970s, after banding together in opposition to a proposed nuclear power plant. They won that battle but needed to find a viable energy alternative. Over the next several decades they green- built their way into the sustainability mecca they are today: 2010 winners of the German Environmental Aid competition featured at the Shanghai World Expo this past summer for its environmental initiatives, and a hotspot for global green tourism, business and education.
Perhaps the most impressive example of Freiburg's energy initiatives is the Solar Info Center, a 150,000-square-foot mixed-use commercial space sheltering fifty-three different green-focused businesses and powered entirely by solar energy. It's also been 100 percent leased for years, and it's the model for a proposed development on East Washington Avenue—the Madison Sustainability Commerce Center.
"In Freiburg in the '70s they essentially had the perfect storm of motivated municipal leaders, heavy support from the citizenry and a business community willing to step in because they saw opportunities," says Madison-based consultant Ted Petith. "Right now east Madison is in a very similar situation."
Petith, a dual national with many family members still living in Germany, has always been inspired by Freiburg's green living prowess. In addition to the existing cultural exchanges between the sister cities, Petith began orchestrating additional exchanges a few years back based on renewable energy and sustainable project development. In 2008 he organized a weeklong trip to Freiburg with Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, as well as representatives from Madison College, UW–Madison and the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation.
"Once Mayor Dave saw it he said, 'Why didn't you tell me how cool this was?'" laughs Petith. "I told him, 'I've been telling you for years!' But it's really something you have to see for yourself."
Petith's work continued, as did the various green-focused initiatives for which Cieslewicz's office has become known. As plans for the Capitol East District began to unfold, Freiburg's example proved an inspirational model for a catalyst project. In September 2010, two dozen representatives from renewable energy and sustainable living initiatives came together roundtable-style, including Energy Center of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation, Project Home, Common Wealth Development, Thrive, Wisconsin Office of Energy Independence, UW–Madison and the city of Madison, along with a handful of consultants and leadership from nine for-profit companies. The result was essentially a blueprint for what is slated to become the Madison Sustainability Commerce Center—modeled directly after Freiburg's Solar Info Center and its adjacent expo hall.
According to Petith and these collaborators, the Madison Sustainability Commerce Center will be a near net-zero, energy-efficient, LEED-certified Gold, 75,000- to 125,000-square-foot stunner (part remodel, part new build) spanning from East Washington to Main Street. Space will include a mixture of office, light manufacturing, conference and training, and retail—all with a sustainable energy focus and a singular purpose of connecting green businesses and their customers. Proposed amenities include green space inside and out, exhibition space, food concessions, a fitness center and environmentally friendly transportation hubs. Dozens of tenants will share conference and office equipment, service loading docks and green utilities, and an on-site restaurant will provide catering and meals with a locally harvested bent.
In short, the center is a sustainable living champion's dream, an economic smorgasbord, a catalyst and the perfect showcase for Madison's green commitment. The project is most recently bolstered by a $300,000 Department of Housing and Urban Development grant and was mentioned by Cieslewicz in his announcement to purchase the Don Miller land.
"This is where you'll get a lot of people under the same roof who are driving the same direction," says Petith. "They'll collaborate, sometimes they'll compete, and mostly they'll help expand and drive that market penetration for renewable energy and sustainability initiatives. It'll be a one-stop shop and help position Madison as a leader in sustainability worldwide."

Boys night. Steak house. And we are rolling out.
You can almost hear the soundtrack thu… more
By concretin_nik December 15th, 2014
Boys night. Steak house. And we are rolling out.
You can almost hear the soundtrack thumping as my two sons and I slow walk to our ride.
And what better way to roll on a night out with my boys on the town than in a ride imported from Detroit.
To help us to that end, we have a Chrysler 200 at our disposal, and it fits right in with the program. Our loaner is a deep, almost oxblood color that the brand calls Velvet Red Pearl, and with the sculpted lines you might expect to find on an import; the thing is extremely handsome at the curb. When seated inside the high tech interior, my first question — how big is this car? It's like some kind of fun house. From the outside it looks like a smallish midsize sedan, akin to a Altima or an Elantra, but once inside, it feels big and substantial. My giant teen — who now towers over me at 6'1" opines that this is a "big car."
Fire it up using the push button ignition and the tech geek in you goes wild. My tester had so many technological safety and entertainment features that I can only start to describe them here. You have to live with this car for a while before you can really appreciate all the features.
It doesn't take long, however, as my teen quickly points out, to discover that the Alpine speakers can deliver the kind of beat that makes even the old dad feel cool as we head out to the steakhouse. The Panoramic moonroof amplifies the coolness effect and also contributes to the feeling of spaciousness in the cabin.
Using the knob on the console to shift the car into reverse activates the back up camera and the sensors that surround this car — it just about parks itself. Once in forward motion, the large dash mounted screen brings the excellent nav system back into view. I've used a lot of these systems and this one was the best in several categories. The touch response was outstanding, and the voice recognition was the best I've ever used. I used it to find addresses and change entertainment. I found myself looking around at my companions in amazement after this system did its thing.
Winding through the hills west of downtown Austin, the car feels competent and comfortable, over various pavement conditions. The nine speed automatic transmission (yes, you read that right) is smooth and subtle, though it did intimidate me out of trying to manage the paddle shifters. So many gears! The 3.6 liter V6 makes a nice noise when you hit the throttle, but the car doesn't really encourage aggressive driving overall. Which was fine with me and boys. We wanted posh on our ride downtown.
The steakhouse wasn't the only destination the 200 ferried us to. We also hit the road for a visit to the grandparents. On the highway, the 200 is a first class ticket all the way. The huge trunk swallowed our gear with ease. The adaptive cruise control was impressive, the cabin quiet, the seats comfortable over a longer haul, and the ride smooth. I felt good about the incredible array of air bags and other safety equipment.
The car uses gas more like it feels inside than it looks outside — we got a modest 22 miles per gallon in mixed driving, and while the car is available at a modest $26k entry price, our loaded model topped out at more than $36k. Still, with all the features and technology, I felt like I was driving a much more expensive ride. It feels like an entry level luxury car.
Our steak dinner was amusing and satisfying. My boys and I swapped stories, gave each other a bit of grief, worked on our table etiquette (just a little) and generally had a fine time. It was money well spent. Like a fine modern steakhouse, the 200 was satisfying, classy, distinctly domestic — a fantastic iteration of a long standing tradition. Any family looking for a safe, stylish and high tech companion on the road should certainly take a look.

As a DadBlogger, the internet today would have me believe I should be outraged with Kix cereal and the "Kid Tested. Mother Approved" tag line. Sure, it could say Dad Approved. Or perhaps, Parent approved. But guess, what? (ChickenButt) I don't care. It really doesn't bother me. They're not dissing Dads like so many companies and sitcoms. Just stating that Moms dig 'em. Well, me too. And now, even MORE. Why? I'm glad you asked.
Crafting. That's right… cardboard, construction paper, glue sticks, and make-a-mess-with-your-kids creativity. Kix has launched new packaging with punch outs and online interactive stories. Not only does this inspire and spark children's imaginations, it also promotes creative reuse and recycling. They also sent me a full creative kit with pipe cleaners, sequins, popsicle sticks, glue, glitter, pom poms, and googly eyes.
Twitter: twitter.com/DadLabs
Post a pic of one of your child's craft projects and tag us (@dadlabs) and use "#Kixstories". It doesn't have to be from a Kix cereal box. Even the latest fingerpaint pumpkin art hanging on the fridge will do. (If you like our content, please RT it, but that is not required for entry, nor will it count as additional entry. Only one entry per person.) Enter by Saturday, November 8, Noon EST.
Facebook: facebook.com/thedadlabs
Like us on FB and comment with a craft story or craft photo on the Kix creative post tagged with "#Kixstories".
Does your child come home covered in marker ink and/or finger paint with a new masterpiece for the gallery? (TheBoy often does.) Tell us about it! (Again, if you like our content, please share it on FB, but sharing is not required for entry, nor will it count as additional entry. Comment only once.) Enter by Saturday, November 8, Noon EST.
We'll announce the winners on those platforms on Sunday, November 9. We can't wait to see your creations and read your stories! You can read the adventures (even without the punch out characters) and see lots of craft projects at KixCereal.com. They are even on Pinterest with the crafts, Creative Kids, and great snack recipes using Kix cereal of course! Check 'em out on Facebook and tell them DadLabs sent ya!

So what do you do when your 6 year old boy wants to dress up as a female character for Halloween? Let me spend some time thinking about that… no, I don't think I will. You let him. End of story. (What? You were expecting controversy? #sorrynotsorry) Moving on.
His favorite is Twilight Sparkle, so he's dressing up as Twilight Sparkle. And HisMother & I are showing our support by being other characters from MLP. I will be Discord (an odd creature, made up of many different creature parts, called a draconequus) and HisMother will be Fluttershy (a pegasus, who incidentally is Discord's only friend). But the second best thing about these costumes, his smile being the very best thing, is getting my craft on, and I mean ON! Another cool thing I'm NOT missing out on with MLP? Fandom. The MLP genre fans rival any StarWars convention goers. Which means cosplay ideas and youtube tutorials are abundant. (click the photos to enlarge)
Be safe and have a great Halloween everyone!

This time, the Cretin family reviews something TheBoy WILL like! The John Deere Monster Treads Gator! At only 6, TheBoy has little experience with RC vehicles. He's had a couple of basic 1 or 2 button RCs, but nothing too fancy, or fast. His eyes lit up when I revealed this box to him. "Finally, no SuperHero toys." *sigh* You're killin' me Smalls.
Our first attempt to play was thwarted by the inevitable toy fail of "not enough batteries." That was my fault. We had the 6AAs, but no 9V for the controller, and my paranoia really didn't want to set a precedent of thieving one from a smoke detector. We were both pretty disappointed in Dad. So be sure to get those before showing this to the kids.
Something else you'll need that is not listed on the package, nor would you necessarily think about… a bike pump. The "monster treads" tires require inflation. A plastic "needle" pump adapter is included, but will go unnoticed when freeing the Gator from all of the tape and ties holding it in the box. It wasn't until I read the manual that I learned of the pump requirement. (Yes internet, I'm a Dad that actually reads the instructions. Neurosis. Just leave it alone.) Also included is a cardboard cut-out to make it very easy to know when you've reached the proper size/inflation.
PLAYTIME! TheBoy was so excited, even with me driving. He squealed in delight and ran from the Gator, and then wanted to chase it. (Had to put a stop to that as that would inevitably lead to him stepping on it.) The Gator is fast! Too fast for our small house really. When he took the controls, he essentially just bumped into everything, but was having a blast. We ventured outside to the yard with about 5 days of fresh growth since the last mowing. The Gator handled the semi-high grass fairly well, but not as well in reverse. It ran great in the areas where we have gravel. TheBoy never stopped smiling and yelling "Dad! Watch this! Watch this!" KidJoy.
Of course, when you have a slide, and an RC car, you WILL send it down, over and over. The large wheels didn't have much grip on the plastic and always allowed it to spin around, usually falling off the edge sideways, causing several rolls and tumbles. But the Gator took every crash and kept on keepin' on.
So the verdict… TheBoy gives it a big "Thumbs up!" I give it a "Meh, OK." (Good fun, but pricey.)
Pros: Fast and durable. The stand up and spin is a fun trick that will make kids laugh and giggle. The large inflated tires allow it to roll through grass, and make it very fast on carpet, flat surfaces, and in gravel. Six AAs and one 9V battery isn't too bad for a vehicle this size. I also liked the quick twist access to the vehicle battery compartment(but the controller still needs a screw driver).
Cons: Unexpected tire inflation required. While it is a bit larger vehicle, for a higher end RC toy price ($59.99), I expect a better steering mechanism. Steering is done by the body of the Gator being tilted which causes the front floating axle to pivot left or right. The servo doesn't actually control the front wheels at all. This results in a wide turning radius, which is why it is more fun outdoors, but too fast for tight quarters.
The John Deere Monster Treads Gator is recommended for kids 8+ and is available now at www.johndeeregifts.com and local John Deere dealers.
Disclosure: We were not compensated for this post but did receive the RC Gator free for the review. The opinions above are straight from the Cretin family.

Castaway's sea days are over - for now
Comment on this storySan Salvador - A fisherman from El Salvador who says he spent 13 months adrift in the Pacific Ocean, surviving on turtle blood and fish and birds caught with his bare hands, vowed he would not venture back out to sea as he left hospital on Tuesday.
Jose Salvador Alvarenga, 37, was found in January on a remote coral atoll in the Marshall Islands, saying he had survived at sea for more than a year.
"No. For the moment, no," Alvarenga said, telling reporters he will not return to the sea as he left the hospital with family members, stopping to raise his hand in a victory sign.
El Salvador's health minister, Maria Isabel Rodriguez, escorted the fisherman from the hospital and said he would not need surgery for a spinal injury. She said Alvarenga was so shaken by the ordeal that he may not return to his coastal home.
"I don't know if it was decided that he'll be taken to another house, because of the problem he had of fear of the sea," Rodriguez said.
Alvarenga, a fisherman for 15 years, told officials he set sail on a shark-fishing trip from Mexico in late December 2012, but was blown out to sea. He washed up 10 000km away in the Marshall Islands.
He was found in a disoriented state on a remote coral atoll in his 7.3m fibreglass boat.
He said he set off with another fisherman, who died weeks into their ordeal.
Alvarenga was barely able to speak when he arrived back in El Salvador a week ago and he could only manage "yes" or "no" answers to questions from journalists on Tuesday.

Ziff Davis

Why .NET Technology Is Important for ERP

The euro slid early Monday after the left-wing party Syriza swept to victory in Greek elections, a major rebuke of austerity policies.
The euro hovered around $1.119 against the dollar, near the 11-year low it reached last week after the European Central Bank announced a massive stimulus program.
Syriza's victory was fueled by populist anger over severe austerity measures that critics felt prioritized payments to creditors over an economic rebound in Greece.
Greece accepted its first bailout in 2010, receiving €240 billion ($277.8 billion) in international aid to rescue its battered economy. In return, the country agreed to deep cuts in government salaries, tax hikes, a freeze on state pensions and bans on early retirement.
Nearly five years on, the overall economic picture is getting better. But life for many Greeks is much worse. Unemployment has soared and wages have fallen even as people are working longer -- all of which fueled demand for change.
Alexis Tsipras, the Syriza leader who could be the next prime minister, has pledged to roll back austerity measures. But many analysts say he won't be able to follow through.
On the campaign trail, Tsipras said he would cut taxes and force Germany and other creditors back to the bargaining table to renegotiate the terms of the bailout package. He said restructuring the debt would allow the Greek government to increase spending and boost the economy.
European leaders oppose this plan, and still maintain tremendous leverage over Greece. Athens needs an infusion of cash to make an upcoming bond payment, and the country's banks need access to cheap financing from Europe's central bank.
"Chances are that Tsipras will accept and embrace reality, quietly ditch his impossible promises and, in a Lula-style turn, keep Greece on the path of pro-growth reforms and fiscal sanity that brought the country back to growth," wrote Holger Schmieding of Berenberg Bank in a research note.
Meanwhile, Greece's debt continues to grow. Net debt was around 130% of GDP in 2010 according to the IMF -- now it's close to 170%. The economy has shrunk, so the debt ratio has increased, meaning it's only getting harder for Greece to rid itself of debt -- it may be nearly impossible.
Most Asian markets were also falling Monday morning.

As of this morning my winter squash are now planted.
In the 3 Sisters Garden I have 3 hills each of Lumina, Jarrahdale, Argonaut, and Long Island Cheese. The orange flags are the squash hills. In the pumpkin patch I have 2 hills of Lumina, 2 hills of spaghetti squash, two hills of Argonaut, and one hill of Jarrahdale. I have to mulch between the hills. And over by the birdbath, where I moved a couple old compost piles that were exposed to street view when we cleared some brush, I have some oddly-planted things. I ran out of seed for the varieties I wanted and grabbed some of the very last winter squash left at Lowes. They were two mixed packages so I tried to sort them out by probable varieties. Under the birdbath is probably Jarrahdale, and out of the picture, downhill from the birdbath, is probably Lakota, next to that is probably Butterbush, and last in line is probably Small Sugar. In a raised bed I have a hill of Carnival and another hill of spaghetti squash. Now I have to hope that the vines will stay ahead of the borers that are already attacking the summer squash. |

The giant Argonauts are also, apparently, early and vigorous. They're the first to put their heads above the soil with the first ones showing up this morning. |
You will probably be very happy you planted the Argonauts and Cheese pumpkins, since they should resist borers pretty well. Wow! You are going to have a lot of squash! Looks good though! George |

Your setup looks impressive. I'll be waiting for further updates from your patch. |

I live outside of Philadelphia, PA and I have a brown turkey fig tree. Every Fall I usually wrap it with burlap to protect it for the Winter. This year I
wrapped it with a blue tarp, just the limbs not the trunk of the tree. The tree is very large. Do you think that is enough protection for the fig tree or do I need to wrap the trunk too? Any thoughts would be appreciated! |

Hi, angelalisa: I would wrap the trunk too as I'd never fignewbies |
I would trim the tree to a manageable size then use the burlap first then the tarp. The burlap would help to keep it warmer while the tarp would keep it dry and stop the wind. Cover from the ground all the way to the top. Also with the trimmings you can share them with friends or start new trees for yourself. Good Luck! |

Please show picture of the tree. Thx |

"Fabulous recipe - super simple! It only took a minute to grate the tomatoes, so that was no big deal. I used a large jalapeno since that was what I had on hand - I poked it all over with a fork and put it in the rice mixture whole. Gave just a hint of spice and the dish was very flavorful and delicious!""

I had a Tactical Ultra II for several years before trading it in to get an Ed Brown Special Forces. Although it is a short barreled version, 3 inches instead of 5 inches, and aluminum frame instead of steel, the basic stuff was still all there. I thought the Tactical line was the best line of Kimbers and had the features I wanted. The Ultra II was 100% reliable for me from the first round through the last round I shot through it. I must have put at least 1,500 rounds through that gun and it was still tight and looked almost brand new. The magwell and ambidexterous safety, as well as the blacked out sleeper styling, were all major reasons I bought it. I went to the Ed Brown because I wanted a full sized 1911 and decided to buy up. But I could have easily gone with the HDII and felt entirely well armed.
Find someone that has one and see if you can get a chance to shoot it. I NEVER take the word of a salesman or current owner as to the quality of a given firearm. Case-in-point; There are several members here on the FTF that are happy with their glocks?? What's with that?
Yeah I'm not a polymer kind of guy. Owned a few XD's and XDM 40's and a couple little 380's but only got my Springfield 1911 Champion Operator now. I'm wanting a nice full size 1911 now around the $1200 price range. "Queen of Battle"

LG 18000 BTU Single Zone Heat Pump Mini-Split System - Grey
Get reliable heating and cooling from your air conditioner when you use the LG 18000 BTU Single Zone Heat Pump Mini-Split System (LS186HE). This heater/cooler features a powerful 17,800 BTU capacity that provides heating and cooling for small- to medium-sized rooms in the home or office. The four (4) air speeds give you quicker cooling and heating for those extra warm or cold days, while the dehumidification function takes up to 5.3 pints of moisture from the air per hour, meaning you get a crisper and cleaner-feeling atmosphere, helping to lower the room's temperature.

An auto restart setting ensures that if there is ever a power outage, the unit will be able to turn itself back on to the settings it was on, which means you will receive uninterrupted cooling after the power turns back on. A 24 hour on/off timer allows you to set the time that the mini-split system powers on and off, which allows you to keep the system off during the day and powered on by the time you get home, conserving energy and keeping your cool or warm whenever you need it. Complete with a remote control for added convenience, this unit will allow you to stay warm or cool when the need arises, keeping your home comfortable.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 In Children
Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a disease that affects how your child's body makes insulin and uses glucose (sugar). Insulin helps move sugar out of the blood so it can be used for energy. Normally, when the blood sugar level increases, the pancreas makes more insulin. Type 1 diabetes develops because your child's immune system destroys pancreas cells that make insulin. His pancreas cannot make enough insulin, so his blood sugar level continues to rise.
- Insulin: Your child will need 1 or more doses of insulin each day. Insulin can be injected or given through an insulin pump. Ask your child's healthcare provider which method is best for your child. You and your child will be taught how to give insulin injections if this is the best method for him. Give your child insulin as directed. Too much insulin may cause his blood sugar level to go too low.
- Give your child's medicine as directed: Call your child's healthcare provider if you think the medicine is not helping or if he has side effects. Tell your child's healthcare provider if your child takes any vitamins, herbs, or other medicines. Keep a list of the medicines he takes. Include the amounts, and when and why he takes them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits.
Follow up with your child's healthcare provider or specialist as directed:
Your child will need yearly eye exams to check for retinopathy. Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Check your child's blood sugar level as directed:
You will be taught how to use a glucose monitor. You will need to check your child's blood sugar level at least 3 times each day. Ask his healthcare provider when and how often to check during the day. Ask what your child's blood sugar levels should be before and after he eats. You may need to check for ketones in his urine or blood if his blood sugar level is higher than directed. Write down the results, and show them to your child's healthcare provider. He may use the results to make changes to your child's medicine, food, or exercise schedules.
If your child's blood sugar level is too low:
Ask your child's healthcare provider for a plan to use if your child's blood sugar level is below 70 mg/dL. Ask how much fast-acting carbohydrate or how many glucose tablets to give your child. Check the level again 15 minutes later. If his blood sugar level is above 70 mg/dL, give him a small snack. If it is still below 70 mg/dL, give him fast-acting carbohydrates or glucose tablets as directed. Ask your child's healthcare provider for more information on diabetic hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level).
Medical alert identification:
Have your child wear medical alert jewelry or carry a card that says he has diabetes. Ask his healthcare provider where to get these items.
Your child's dietitian will help you create a meal plan to keep your child's blood sugar level steady.
Exercise can help keep your child's blood sugar level steady and help him lose weight. Have your child exercise for at least 60 minutes on most days of the week. Work with your child's healthcare provider to create an exercise plan. Your child may need a carbohydrate snack before, during, or after he exercises. Check your child's blood sugar level before and after he exercises. If it is less than 100 mg/dL, give him a carbohydrate snack before exercise. Examples are 4 to 6 crackers, ½ banana, 8 ounces (1 cup) of milk, or 4 ounces (½ cup) of juice. If your child's level is high, check his blood or urine for ketones before he exercises. Do not let your child exercise if his blood sugar level is high and he has ketones in his urine or blood.
Diabetes can put your child at risk of serious illness if he gets the flu or pneumonia. Ask your child's healthcare provider if your child should get a flu or pneumonia vaccine, and when to get the vaccine.
No smoking:
Cigarette smoke can worsen the problems that may occur with diabetes. Do not smoke around your child, and do not let others smoke around him. Do not let your child smoke. Ask your child's healthcare provider for information about how to stop smoking if you need help quitting.
Contact your child's healthcare provider if:
- Your child is vomiting or has diarrhea.
- Your child has an upset stomach and cannot eat the foods on his meal plan.
- Your child feels dizzy or has headaches.
- Your child feels weak or more tired than usual.
- Your child has numbness in his arms or legs.
- Your child has red, dry skin.
- Your child gets easily irritated.
- You have questions or concerns about your child's condition or care.
Return to the emergency department if:
- Your child's blood sugar level is lower than directed and does not improve with treatment.
- Your child has blurred or double vision.
- Your child is having trouble staying awake or focusing.
- Your child is shaking or sweating.
- Your child's breath has a fruity, sweet smell, or his breathing is deep and labored.
- Your child's heartbeat is fast and weak.

I'm using WLP007 to ferment this, and I am unsure what temperature I should target. I live in MI and haven't had this beer before, so I don't know the yeast character. I have a dedicated chest freezer for fermentation, and can control temps rather well. White Labs suggests 65-70 for this yeast, and I'm thinking I'd like to target the low end of the range. Does anyone who's had this beer have any input for me? Thanks!
I think your in the right direction with the 007. I would start at 65 ramp it to 67 towards end of fermentation. Just had this for the first time and what a treat. Not as big as Heady topper but i great smooth drinking for sure. Love those tropical tones
I start even lower..60. But that's just me.
Thanks. I decided to split the difference and set the ferm chamber for 62.

The sys admin's daily grind: SPL
All the World's a Stage
This is the ultimate programming language for decelerated feature page readers and the counterpart to agile software development: the Shakespeare Programming Language.
You that choose not by the view. Chance as faire, and choose as true.
Even though "To be or not to be" translates to a really neat regular expression – /(bb|[^b]{2})/ – the link between Shakespeare and sys admins isn't immediately apparent.
But as the playwright once wrote: "A good wit will make use of any thing." So, let's set aside Perl and Bash for a short while and look at a programming language that is full of drama and poetry.
