Is it ok to let others work on my plugins? Such as a worker or am I the only one allowed.
For sure you may allow others to work on your plugin
Changed the wording, I hope that'll make it less ambiguous.
The documentation "3.5 Palettes Dialog" is out of date. The document under 3.5.2. Using the Palettes dialog has several sections that do not exist in the stated location within the program.
For example the sections: "Palette to gradient" and "Palette to Repeating Gradient" discuss how to transfer the palette to a gradient so that it can be used. But this instruction does not match what is in the program. These menu items do not exist in this location within the program.
So, how do I enable palettes so that I can use them while editing photos?
Thank you.

Listening to customers drives demand for new ventures
FOR many people born outside farming families, the dream of making a living out of livestock remains out of reach. But a combination of good luck and dogged determination gave Denise and Chris Walton the opportunity to realise their long-held ambition. Two decades later, their enthusiasm is still driving the business forward.
It is not easy to catch Denise Walton when she is not working, but once she has been pinned down to a time when she has a spare hour, it is not hard to see why most of the organic meat from Peelham Farm finds a ready market with discerning chefs and 'foodies'.
Not only does she have the boundless energy required to keep her customers happy, she also has a high level of technical knowledge about food and livestock production. The same applies to her husband, Chris, and the couple's business partner Amanda Cayley.
Chris and Denise have always wanted a career in farming, despite their family on both sides being in the medical profession.
"Chris worked on several farms before going to college as a mature student," says Denise. "We met at Wye College, when he was studying for a post-graduate degree in agricultural economics and I was taking a post-graduate degree course in ecology.
"After qualifying, Chris went back to farm work, while I set up as a self-employed ecological consultant. When it seemed as if we weren't getting anywhere and our dream was fading, Chris
decided to study accountancy to bring in more money for the family.
"Just by chance, we heard about a 20-acre smallholding near Berwick-upon-Tweed in the Scottish Borders. We bought the property and started keeping a small flock of sheep."
Little did they know at the time that their relationship with the vendor, neighbouring farmer Amanda, would turn into a strong partnership which ideally suits both parties.
Amanda was a single farmer without any children, looking for some help in managing her 81-hectare (200-acre) mixed livestock unit. The arrangement was already working well when a neighbouring farm was purchased, taking the total to 275ha (680 acres).
The business partnership was formed in 1990 and the farm converted to organic production 10 years later. While Amanda was supposed to have semi-retired some years ago, she continues to make a significant contribution to many aspects of the day-to-day running of the business, including delivering meat to restaurants and checking the livestock.
Many enterprises aimed at direct meat sales are forced to find alternative outlets for a high percentage of surplus production. But this does not apply at Peelham, where around 70 per cent of farm produce is sold wholesale, mainly to high quality restaurants and delicatessens in Edinburgh.
A further 8-10 per cent is currently marketed through internet sales, although this figure is growing rapidly.
All the progeny from the 50-sow Tamworth pig herd goes through the farm's on-site butchery, which was established in 2008.
Lamb from the 600-ewe Lleyn and Lleyn cross Texel flock follows a similar pattern, with all the cull ewes turned into mutton, which is proving very popular.
The beef herd comprises 80 suckler cows, mainly home-bred Luing and Simmental crosses, put to an Aberdeen-Angus bull. The resulting calves perform well on Peelham's all-grass feeding system. At present, around 30 per cent of beef animals are marketed as field-raised ruby veal.
The farm has a spring and an autumn-calving herd, with all replacements home-bred.
Beef animals are finished on grass at 24 to 30 months old, weighing around 300kg deadweight, although a more flexible approach is taken for dealing with the ruby veal animals, which are either sold as stores or finished at home, usually attracting an organic premium.
Lleyns are the breed of choice for the sheep flock, selected for its high level of parasite resistance, as well as its ability to cope with the all-grass feeding system.
A distinction is made between new season lamb and hoggets, with chefs in particular appreciating the difference between the two products. New season lamb is available in autumn, with hoggets on offer around Easter. The ewes are lambed inside in March.
Cull ewes have been used for mutton since 2009.
"The secret with mutton is to hang the carcase for two weeks," says Denise. "The cuts go to restaurants, which are always looking for new and interesting products. We have recently started curing mutton and turning it into mutton-ham, which was a very popular dish in lowland Scotland in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It has a strong, robust flavour and tastes really delicious."
Surplus meat is turned into sausages. One speciality sausage uses a spicy, North African recipe, which was originally intended for goat meat. Mutton also goes into pies, with the mutton-ham and caper version a particular favourite. Similar to a pork pie in appearance, the recipe is one of Denise's inventions. Its ingredients include cured mutton, pickled capers and a 'hint of mint'.
The Tamworth herd is bred and reared exclusively outdoors, with the pigs fitting into the five-year rotation. Housed in straw-bedded pig arks, the sows provide 1.5 litters per year, with an average of seven piglets per litter. They are finished at around eight to 10 months. Once the pigs have moved on, the ground is ploughed out and left to over-winter in preparation for spring sowing.
Pigmeat is one of the products most suited to 'value-added' markets, according to Denise, with a high proportion of meat turned into air-dried and charcuterie products.
Peelham offers a wide range of meat products, some of which are unique to the farm. These have been largely customer-driven, although some have been developed with the aim of maximising the potential for 'added value'.
Denise has always been keen on food and cookery, and no-one can say she is short of imaginative ideas. Take the organic weekend box as one example. For £46, including delivery, two people can order a two-day supply of meat, including sausages and bacon, lamb leg steaks, veal, and a couple of meat pies.
Like many before them, the business partners have learned their trade by selling at farmers' markets. While these have become less important in terms of sales, they regularly attend several local markets. This provides valuable feedback, and is appreciated by their wholesale restaurant customers, who perceive some benefit in spreading the word about the farm and its production methods.
With so much time taken up with marketing, the business employs two full-time farm workers and a part-time office manager, for additional support.
"There is no better way of growing a direct sales business than meeting customers face-to-face and getting their feedback," says Denise.
"Markets also give us the opportunity to explain organic production and help consumers understand more about the food on their plate.
"Some people are still interested in provenance and are prepared to pay a little bit extra for organic produce, despite the general downturn in organic sales.
"The organic element differentiates us from most of our competitors, particularly those selling online.
"It definitely gives us a marketing edge with high-end restaurants. It has also taught us a lot about managing farmland, and the livestock have never looked better."
On the subject of customers, it was their demand which prompted the development of the farm's 'gluten-free' and 'free from' sausage and burger ranges, says Denise.
"One of the most important lessons we have learned is to listen to our customers. The number of enquiries we were receiving from people suffering from food intolerances or allergies took us in that direction, and this part of the business is growing.
"People tend to think special dietary foods are dull and boring, but that is not the case at all. Take sausages, for example.
"Rusk was first added to sausages during the war when meat was in short supply. It makes the sausages swell and gives them an open texture. But there are plenty of tasty recipes which can be made up without using gluten, artificial additives or flavour enhancers. Our most popular 'free from' lines are veal Italienne sausage and chorizo."
While others choose to go down the farm shop route, this option was never seriously considered, as Peelham is located off the beaten track, with a three-quarters of a mile-long driveway.
The popularity of the internet offered a golden opportunity, although many lessons have been learned about online sales since the first Peelham e-commerce website was launched three years ago.
"We had a standard website for some years, but it was not until we developed the site to allow people to buy online that countrywide sales started to take off," says Denise. "It still amazes me to think we have a business that is effectively opened for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Looking back, our original site was very amateurish. We have since learned the meaning of phrases such as click fatigue, and we are constantly updating the information, as well as looking for ways to make it easier to buy our products."
Meat from Peelham used to be prepared by outside contractors, but the farm now has an on-site facility and employs three butchers; two full-time and one part-time.
"The contract butchers were good, but could not give us enough scope to meet our customers' specific demands," she says. "Having the butchery on the premises and using craft butchers gives us greater flexibility.
"We can also increase our income by running butchery workshops, where people can come for the day and learn about the different cuts and how to make sausages and burgers."
When asked what makes the farm so successful, Denise does not hesitate. "Trust and fun in equal measures are the secret to making a success of a business partnership.
"Of course, we have all had our ups and downs over the years, but we have a lot of respect for each other and we all truly believe in the business and have a commitment to making it work.
"We derive great satisfaction from being price-makers, instead of price-takers. But I would advise anyone thinking about moving to direct sales to be prepared for the relentless hard work it demands. But at the same time, it is exciting and challenging, and nothing would persuade us to give it up."
Arable and grassland
- The high costs associated with organic livestock inputs mean the emphasis lies firmly on producing meat off grass and using home-grown feed
- Grass is undersown with red-clover to enhance field productivity and grazing for finishing lambs
- Barley grown for the pigs is harvested at 35 per cent moisture content and mixed with a probiotic lactobacillus before crimping
- Beans are also a staple, providing protein for the pig finishing rations
Ruby veal
Peelham's field-raised ruby veal is different from standard veal, which is produced from young dairy-bred calves on a milk-based diet, says Denise.
"Our suckler calves stay out at grass with their mothers all summer and we finish them at about eight to 10 months," she says. "This policy makes the calves physically fit from all the exercise they get, and gives them good muscle tone. But as veal should be a very soft, tender meat, we hang the carcases for two weeks, to give it a more delicate texture.
"Our product is darker in colour than dairy 'rose' veal and has some marbling. The meat is very versatile – we take a wide variety of cuts, from escalopes, which everybody knows about, to topside, salmon fillet and rolled breast and shoulder.
"Ruby veal fits in well with our all-grass livestock management policy and we aim to have a supply all year round. The shorter finishing time means we can keep more cows and use less straw bedding and haylage over the winter," she says.

South Jersey July 4 rainfall could total more than 2 inches
Written by R.J. Liberatore Jr. Monday, June 30, 2014 02:01 pm
< Prev | Next > |
Weather forecasters say they are more confident a developing tropical storm could climb the east coast on July 4 and wash out Independence Day celebrations from Florida through New York City.
For the millions of travelers headed to the Outer Banks, Maryland and Delaware beaches or the Jersey Shore, it is the news they didn't want to hear and dreaded the most.
The National Hurricane Center now says that there is an 80 percent chance that a cluster of thunderstorms located off the east side of Florida will develop into a tropical storm by Wednesday, July 2.
If it does so, it will become the first named storm of the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season, a year that is supposed to be below normal in tropical storm, hurricane and major hurricane storm counts.
This week's storm is forecast to cling to a cold front moving from the west and toward the eastern seaboard.
The tropical storm will climb the coast on Thursday and Friday, dropping up to two inches along they way, according to weather forecasts.
Portions of the east coast could receive nearly three inches of rain this week, according to the NationalWeatherServiceMountHollyForecastCenter.
The tropical storm will launch off the coast – like a Roman candle – early Saturday morning, the Weather Service said.
However, the storm will pass near Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and South Jersey during the afternoon and evening hours on Friday, July 4.
At least the second and third day of the three-day Independence Day Weekend should provide sunny and warm conditions for going to the beach.

Harrison Cady's Earth Day…
There may not have been an Earth Day when artist Harrison Cady created these cartoons, but still he spoke to the subject. These cartoons appeared in Life magazine, in 1925 and 1911, respectively.
Additionally, not by Harrison Cady, but I feel like adding one of my own comics addressing the subject. Art by Doug Rice & Hilary Barta. Appeared in Dark Horse Comics' Cheval Noir, and the Classics Desecrated album, from NBM.

Called "Tommee Tippee"?
I was looking for something that's good to transition the baby between breast and bottle. With my first, I used Breastflow which worked well for my baby but sometimes they leaked and they were a pain to clean. These have mixed reviews but mostly good ones. Has anyone ever heard of them or tried them?

I hope so too because they look like they'd be super easy to clean, with no extra parts inside.

Yes i have used these bottles for DS2 and i am soooooooo happy with them. I was all avent to begin with and once i was out and didn't have a bottle so i picked up one cheap and never went back. The dont leak like avent does and they are so easy to clean too. Baby has to open his mouth wide like they do in the nipple and i found the transition really easy from breast to bottle. I do have one issue though and that is when you have wet hands i cant undo them to save my life, but minor issue when they work so good.I 100% recommend them and when i have mynext DC if i ever will i will buy the breast pump and everythiong i love closer to nature.

I have not seen those before, but they sound good! I was an Avent bottle lover too, but wanted to try something different. I bought these: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3161972 and I LOVE them. They are super easy to clean and he has a really easy time going from boob to bottle.
I started using those when my daughter was about 4 months. I did like them but I thought it was kind of a pain to have an extra piece on the bottom to unscrew and clean. I was first attracted to them because they were some of the first BPA free ones that I saw. But like you said, I will probably be ready to try something different with the newborn so we'll see how these new ones work!

I'm so glad you posted this because I was about to ask the same thing. We use the Tommee Tippee sippy cups because they were on sale at Babies R Us and I love them...more so than the Playtex ones I've used for 4 years. I used Dr. Brown's with both of my kids and liked them because they helped with gas, but the parts are such a pain. Any time anyone else watched the kids for us, they had a hard time assembling them and then they would leak. You almost need a training class to use them. I just registered for the Tommee Tippee bottles and I hope they work out well.
2006, 2008, but confirmed due Feb. 2011
Love my kids!

In a democracy, few rights are as cherished as the right to vote. Yet, in the United States people of color, mainly Latinos, African-Americans, Asians and Native Americans, are finding that the more they demonstrate their civic responsibility by voting, the more obstacles that surface designed to weaken the power of their votes.
Since 2008, when the nation elected its first African-American president, there have been numerous efforts in various states to impact ballot access. Legislatures in 19 states have tightened identification requirements for citizens who wish to vote. Many of these new laws require citizens to show a state-issued form of photo ID.
The New York University School of Law Brennan Center for Justice warned in 2006 that because identification documents are not distributed equally across the population, voter ID laws would significantly affect voter access for people of color — especially Latinos and African-Americans — who possessed photo identification at considerably lower rates than Whites.
The youth vote
That prediction became reality last November. A study conducted immediately after the 2012 election surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,500 young people between the ages of 18 and 29 with large oversamples of Blacks and Latinos.
Consistent with other national reports, the study sponsored by the Black Youth Project confirmed that a high voter turnout among youth.
It also determined that young people of color — especially Black youth — were asked to show identification when voting at considerably higher rates than White youth.
Even in states with no identification laws, 66 percent of Black youth and 55 percent of Latino youth were asked to show ID, compared with 43 percent of White youth. When non-voters were asked to indicate the reasons why they did not vote, Black youth were three times as likely as White youth (17 percent compared with 5 percent) to say that they did not vote because they lacked the proper identification documents. The study provides compelling evidence that identification laws are applied inconsistently across racial groups, and appear to reduce turnout disproportionately among people of color.
In the aftermath of the 2012 election, also under attack is the principle of "one person, one vote" established in 1964 when the Supreme Court ruled in Reynolds v. Sims that legislative districts must contain equal numbers of citizens.
Measures considered
Several states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia, recently considered or are considering measures to apportion their electoral votes by congressional districts in place of the winner-take-all system currently in place.
Discussions of these proposals have focused, not incorrectly, on the implications for the outcomes of presidential elections. But these proposals are designed explicitly to reduce the electoral influence of citizens living in densely populated areas — precisely those areas more likely to contain larger proportions of people of color — and increase the electoral importance of people living in more sparsely populated areas that take up larger swaths of geography.
As Sen. Charles Carrico, who introduced the measure in the Virginia State Senate, explained, residents in rural areas "were concerned that it didn't matter what they did, that more densely populated areas were going to outvote them."
Supreme Court debate
This tension between individuals and geography is also found in the debate surrounding the current Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder. At issue is Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires states with a history of racially discriminatory voting practices to receive federal clearance before changing electoral laws.
In oral arguments on Feb. 27, attorney Bert Rein argued on behalf of Shelby County, Alabama that this provision is "an inappropriate vehicle to sort out the sovereignty of individual states."
But the sovereignty of states should not be privileged over the equal protections constitutionally granted to individual citizens. Just as states like Ohio and Pennsylvania should not be allowed to weigh the votes of rural residents over votes from urban areas, neither should Alabama be excluded from provisions designed to protect Alabama citizens' voting rights because Alabama's sovereignty is judged to be more important than their citizens' electoral voices.
Rein is right, though, on at least one point. As he and some of the conservative justices on the Court pointed out, the South is not uniquely racially discriminatory. Schemes to apportion Electoral College votes by congressional district, for instance, have been discussed mostly by states that are not required to receive federal preclearance. But this is not an argument for striking down Section 5.
Indeed, any measure that limits ballot access or dilutes some group's electoral influence in any state ought to be opposed.
However, if states like South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and others currently subject to Section 5 have their way, significant numbers of people of color are especially likely to feel the negative consequences of new electoral laws. Keeping Section 5 in place will continue to help guard against attempts to limit the influence of people of color on Election Day.

The Green Gorilla joined Cole when he was searching for the Soul Bird. With Red Lion sick, they needed a Zord to take its place, and so the Gorilla joined with the others to form the Kongazord, which used the Double Knuckle Vital Slash attack.
The Rangers first combined the Rhino with the upper part of the Kongazord while fighting Tombstone Org, who had injured many of their other Zords. Kongazord Striker mode kicks the Armadillo as a finisher.
When Lion Tamer Org and the Rangers battled for control over the Wild Zords, they each went through several Megazord combinations, including the Kongazord Striker Clutcher mode.
During battle with Locomotive Org, the Rangers added the Giraffe to the Kongazord Striker, forming the Spear mode.

Mercredi 9 mai
This is my first attempt at a publication of my experiences, so me! 'm tall, thin and blond. I have used a model in my younger days, so I consider myself attractive. I married very young and after 5 years, things got really boring. I worked in an office, and if one started sexporntube flirting with one of our affiliates cap with me, I took it with a pinch of salt and did not bother to return the favor. I had to accompany this chapter ( we call it ' M') bathing in a course for our employees. We met at the hotel Sunday night, when the course was scheduled to begin Monday. We had drinks, we had dinner, chatted, flirted and went back to our own rooms for the next day to prepare. The next day I was sitting in his workout... I could not let my eyes wander to M in sexporntube step when I was in front of the training room was. He was tall, dark, very handsome and charismatic, and had what looked like a nice big cock. Ino idea what the training was about, but I guess he realized that he was looking at the package Around noon, it became very. I could not sexporntube believe that M was flirting with me. So when he invited me to lunch, I jumped at the chance. We flirted a little more for lunch and then had to say 'goodbye' as he had returned to complete the training in the afternoon. I gave her a kiss on the cheek - none of us had sexporntube hoped, but the power was unbelievable. I could not stop thinking about him for the rest of the day. when I was out of the training is not a text on my phone of M. However, to make a long story short, there was a large amount of text and, finally, we agreed flirting, you should meet somewhere in order.... well, fuck ! A week later, I boarded a train and sexporntube he met me at the train station reading. I made sure I had a fabulous dress from Karen Millen, heels, stockings and looking hot. M congratulated me on my clothes and got into theThe car. My underwear was completely immersed Agent Provocateur in anticipation. Unfortunately we came to a traffic jam through reading. The talk began in general and what roaming our hands. M hands dropped to my knees under my skirt and felt my wet underwear. I complained because they felt so good. M expertly rubbed my clit through sexporntube my underwear and thought I would run very fast when used ! He took her hand. I put my hand on his crotch. That could easily feel the hardness of his cock through his pants - what a Brummer ! Mainitaining eye contact with others, I slowly unzipped his fly and pulled his big cock. Cum was before already, so I bent down to lick to the tip. That was great. M moaned and lifted his hips pushed his cock past my lips and my mouth. Remember that I gave him a blowjob in the middle of a traffic jam through downtown Reading... very exciting! M was clearly beginning to enjoy my sucking because he had not realized that our car was moving forward. He had left foot rest and we were shooting in the car ahead of us! He quickly realized, and hit his foot on the break and honked the car! Great... what a way to call attention to the fact that I dive in your lap! So sexporntube I sat in my chair and masturbated sexporntube expert was until I was about to come, and covering the top of his cock with my mouth. M came in my mouth... mmmmm I swallowed his load and wiped his mouth. M smiled while I was dying to have it in me. Fortunately, traffic was moving now, and we were not far from the hotel. We arrived at the hotel and I reeled as fast sexporntube as I could into the room, I had the feeling that stretch tight pussy with his huge cock. have We in the room, threw the bags down. I opened up my skirt to reveal my Agent Provocateur underwear and put his jacket and shirt, but followed on the heels. M pulled back on the bed, put my pantione hand and one that was imposed on me hard. We have very hard until it screwed... shouts very strong, because I had not experienced anything like it. Wow - I felt incredible. We had a bath together and spent the rest of the night slowly and gently explore each other bodies, fucking, sucking. Needless to say, it is not the last time I met M. the meeting was made almost sexporntube 3 years. you count some of the experiences soon...

"In a world where the average preteen has had more mobile phones than birthdays, one man stood apart, refusing to part with aging technology. Relegated to a primitive past where one could only make and receive calls and texts, he resisted the tide of popular features – such as cameras, video calls, email, web, GPS and apps – until one event changed his mind… forever."
I just noticed that this day, four years ago, I blogged about my new mobile phone, the Sagem My-V76. Back in 2006 I considered it to be quite advanced, with what I felt was a superfluous feature (a camera? why would I need to take photos with my phone?) – but I wanted a new phone since my previous phone was starting to age a bit – I'd bought that back in 2000.
It probably goes to show how much a dinosaur I am to say that prior to 2000 I never owned any phone at all. I still am a dinosaur, I think – I am principally a mid-to-late adopter, when it comes to spending my own money.
So now that I've had this phone for four years, I feel it's time to move on. I have never been entirely happy with its interface – it's slow and cumbersome, and has some annoying quirks (e.g. if I hit it one too many times, the "Back" button turns into a "Connect to internet" button, which renders the phone unusable for about 30 seconds until it times out). I'd like a new phone, and yes, I am interested in some of the new-fangled features like email, web browsing and 3rd-party apps. While the UI looks great, I don't like how tightly the apps market is controlled by Apple. I like the idea of the Android, but have no idea which model to get.
My decision will be based on the following factors which are important to me:
- price (outright $200-$500, or 12 month contract $20-$40 pm)
- reception in regional WA (probably Next-G is the only option)
- battery life (i.e. I'd like to be able to use it without recharging for more than an hour)
- phone calls, texting (low volume)
- email, web browsing (wifi?) (occasional)
- Google calendar sync
- builtin MP3 player
- expandable memory
- standard plugs (prefer no proprietary accessories)
I haven't really got fully started yet in my research. My shortlist has the following entries:
- HTC Desire [review] [compared with Blackberry] – has all the features + standard headphone jack; [Telstra] capped $79/mon x 24 months, incl 500MB data
- Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 – almost identical features to HTC Desire; same $79 plan
EDIT 5 Jul 2010: added Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to my list.
UPDATE 8 Dec 2010: Well, my wife gave me an early Christmas present: a HTC Desire, on a $49 plan with Telstra which includes 1GB data per month. So far I'm very impressed!

Wingfield on the Debt Charts Pelosi Doesn't Want you to See
by Chamber Grassroots | October 4, 2011
Comments: 0
Yesterday, Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Kyle Wingfield uncovered some interesting data in, 'The debt charts Nancy Pelosi doesn't want you to see.'
Wingfield writes:
For some reason, some people decided to resuscitate a chart created by Nancy Pelosi's office about presidential responsibility for increases in the national debt. I say "for some reason," because fact-checkers at PolitiFact had already given Pelosi a "pants on fire" rating for the chart because it massaged the underlying data and assigned it incorrectly.
It didn't take long for the chart to be slapped down again when it resurfaced last week. But its brief revival did make me wonder how such a chart would look if it were drawn to assign responsibility for the debt to speakers of the House. There's good reason to look at it from a congressional perspective, since Congress must pass budget legislation before the president can sign it. And it's simpler to look at it from the House perspective, because the balance between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate changed mid-session a few times during the early 2000s.
Using the same data sources and parameters PolitiFact used to debunk Pelosi's presidential-debt chart and declare President Obama "the undisputed debt king of the last five presidents," here's what I found:
No wonder Pelosi is so eager to look at things from a presidential perspective...
Wingfield goes on to break the data down to an annual and annualized basis -- only to reveal the same unforgiving results for Pelosi.

WEDNESDAY, April 16, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The rates of five serious complications from diabetes -- heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, amputations and death -- have all dropped dramatically since 1990, a new U.S. government study shows.
Heart attack rates have decreased nearly 70 percent in people with diabetes. Stroke rates have dropped by more than 50 percent, as have lower extremity amputations. Deaths from high blood sugar crises have fallen nearly 65 percent, and the risk of end-stage kidney disease is down 28 percent, according to the study.
The biggest declines in diabetes-related complications have occurred for heart attack and stroke, especially among people aged 75 and older.
But, the news isn't all good.
During the same time frame that diabetes complications were dropping, the rates of diabetes diagnoses were soaring. In 1990, 6.5 million Americans had diabetes. By 2010, that number was 20.7 million, according to the study authors.
Health experts point to the obesity epidemic as a leading contributor to the rise in cases of type 2 diabetes.
And, although the rates of diabetes complications are significantly lower than they used to be, they're still far greater than for those without diabetes. For example, someone with diabetes has a six times greater risk of developing kidney failure than does someone without the disease. The risk of amputation is 10 times higher, while the risk of a heart attack is twice as high, according to the study.
"In general, this study is good news. Rates of diabetes complications have declined, and that's a testament to what good care and self-management can do," said study author Edward Gregg, chief of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's epidemiology and statistics branch in the division of diabetes translation.
"For the average person with diabetes, the complication risk is far less than it was. But, we wouldn't want to send the message that this battle is won," Gregg added. "The baby boom generation is moving into the high-risk years for diabetes. Even if we make continued improvements, the fact that the baby boom generation is moving into high-incidence years means a lot of cases in the future."
Results of the study are published in the April 17 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Data for the research came from the National Health Interview Survey, the National Hospital Discharge Survey, the U.S. Renal Data System, and the U.S. National Vital Statistics System.
In 1990, just over 140,000 Americans with diabetes had a heart attack. In 2000, that number had jumped to 191,000. By 2010, it was down to almost 136,000, according to the study.
A closer look at those heart disease numbers, to see how many people per 10,000 with diabetes had a heart attack, shows a much steadier decline. In 1990, 141 people per 10,000 with diabetes had a heart attack. In 2000, it was 106 people per 10,000, and by 2010 that number had dropped to a low of 45.5 per 10,000 people with diabetes, according to the study.
The only category of complication that didn't see a drop of more than 50 percent was end-stage kidney disease, although there was nearly a 30 percent decline in this complication. Gregg said it's possible that the large drops in the other categories may be slowing down the rates of improvement in kidney disease. People with diabetes may now be living long enough to get end-stage kidney disease, he explained.
Dr. Joel Zonszein is director of the clinical diabetes center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. He said the new study "shows us we have an opportunity. Good treatment can prevent diabetes complications. When we treat early and aggressively, people with diabetes -- either type 1 or type 2 -- can do quite well."
Zonszein said he thinks "medical therapy is making a big difference in complications." That includes blood-sugar lowering medications, drugs for high blood pressure and drugs to lower cholesterol levels, he said.
Gregg agreed that better tools to manage risk factors for complications -- such as medications -- along with better ways to identify people with diabetes may have contributed to the improvement in the complication rates. He said diabetes education has also likely played a big role in the drop in complications.
"We need to continue to work on improving care, but we also need to turn more attention to preventing diabetes in the first place," Gregg said.

City, NCK Tech say communication key

Both sides agreed better communication is needed in the future.
Hays city commissioners invited North Central Kansas Technical College President Eric Burks to give a response to city staff concerns at Thursday evening's work session at city hall.
In a memo to commissioners before the work session, city staff expressed frustrations in dealing with NCK Tech. In 2009, the city entered into a five-year lease at the former Army Reserve building with the two-year technical college. In exchange, the college's students would help on certain city projects.
"We have had issues trying to identify projects that fit the technical college's curriculum," said City Manager Toby Dougherty, who met with Burks earlier in the day. "We as staff have been pleased, for the most part, with the outcomes on this. We have had strained relations at times, where things have not worked perfectly, been frustrated.
"Eric and I are in the process of trying to get through this."
Burks said NCK Tech recently was named the No. 6 two-year college in the nation.
"We're not used to issues dealing with quality, or lack thereof, because we typically have done very well in that area," he said. "Whenever I hear that, it's greatly concerning, and I want to get it corrected.
"We have had bumps in the road and generally try to work those out. I would characterize this as a great partnership; it's been mutually beneficial."
Burks pointed out the students enrolled at the college also provide an economic impact for the city.
"We do feel like there's a benefit to the city," he said. "The conclusion Toby and I came to today, we definitely need to improve the communication between the city and our campus. Communication, as we all know, is a two-way street.
"My overall assessment is this has been a very strong partnership.
"We hope you want to continue it because we certainly do want to continue into the future."
City Commissioner Henry Schwaller IV, who asked for the item to be put on the agenda, told Burks it has been difficult to communicate with NCK Tech in the past.
"I'm concerned," he said. "Our relationship is strained."
Burks said he personally has answered emails and returned phone calls since he became president last year, and after the meeting added the school has presented an annual report to the commissioners in the past.
"First of all, I'm committed to making this partnership stronger; we will communicate," Burks said.
After the meeting, Dougherty said he and Burks will make it work.
"I think going forward, Eric and I will make sure we can have the best possible relationship out of the arrangement here," Dougherty said.
"I just want to say I'm definitely committed to making this partnership work," Burks said after the meeting. "We feel like we're bringing a lot of value into the partnership. We greatly appreciate being able to work with the city."

D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Go Go Pogo!
Usually at Christmas time I like to post "Deck Us All With Boston Charlie" and one of Walt Kelly's wonderful Pogo Sundays from some long ago Christmas. I did it on December 22, 2009 and on December 24, 2008.
But since we've been there, done that twice already, I thought I'd forgo "Deck Us All" and instead offer one of Kelly's own recordings, "Go Go Pogo." Yep, that's Kelly his own self singing on this track. And it's just as well he stuck to drawing for the most part as you'll hear.

6 Herbs That'll Make Your Orgasms Mind-Blowing
There are many things that can intensify your orgasm, including foreplay. But did you know that having a simple cup of tea can make you have a more intense, fulfilling orgasm? Herbs work on several levels; they reduce tension and increase blood flow and can also increase sensation to our more delicate areas. Some of my favorite herbs are easy to come by and make a great tasting tea.
If tea is not your thing, you can take these herbs in the pill form two-three hours before you expect to have sex to have the most optimal effect. Aphrodisiacs are categorized according to their mode of action into three groups: substances that increase libido or desire, substances that increase endurance, and substances that increase sexual pleasure. The herbs below have the potential to do all of these things. (See the recipe at the end of the article for a tea both you and your partner can drink to increase the pleasure and intensity of your orgasms) 6 Tips To Improve Your Body Image & Your Sex Life
1. Yohimbe. For centuries, people have used this bark as a tonic to enhance sexual prowess and pleasure. Yohimbe's energizing effects stem from its ability to increase blood flow to the genitals in both men and women. It is thought to directly stimulate the pelvic nerve, ganglia, which causes increased sensation. Effects include increased libido, sensation and stamina.
2. Damiana. Damiana has been held in great esteem as an aphrodisiac since ancient times. It was first used ritually by the Aztecs as a sexual stimulant for men and women. James Duke, Ph.D. in his Handbook on Medicinal Herbs (1985) claimed that damiana makes "every nerve tingle with sexual sensation, whetting the appetite of lustful desire."
Thought of as a woman's sexuality enhancer, damiana also works for men to increase blood flow and sensation to the clitoris and penis. Damiana helps to restore the natural sexual desire, especially for the exhausted (or stressed) person.
3. Horny goat weed. A plant that has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for sexual dysfunction, horny goat weed is used to increase the libido in both men and women. In studies, it has proven to increase the sexual desire, endurance, and sexual satisfaction in both men and women, using the herb one-two hours prior to sexual activity. 7 Days Of Sex: Why You Should Try It

More reviews by princessgracie
I thought I would try this (after all, it is gift time, right?) as I wanted a new bright pink nailpolish. This was a very disappointing formula. The color is great, a bright and vibrant pink that is very wearable, no shimmer. The formula is meant to be a one coat. Well, I tried one, and it didn't look so swell. Two coats looked worse. Took it off, waited a day, and reapplied. It is supposed to last up to seven? ten days? I don't know. It didn't make it through day one without a chip. Several to be exact. I did apply a base coat, but didn't apply a top coat, as I normally don't have to with my OPI colors. I know that this is a new formula, and I would prefer to stick with the old formula. At least with the old formula I could wear the color for at least three to four days without chipping. If I could return, I would. HORRIBLE PRODUCT!

In Home Private Yoga Classes
Due to my nineteen years of practice and teaching yoga-I truly believe yoga is the best, complete system of mind, body and spirit enhancement.
Each custom private yoga session includes postures (asanas) and pranayama (breathing practices) for bodily strength, flexibility, calming the mind and purifying the body. We always end our yoga practice with relaxation (shavasana) to restore and rejuvenate the body at a profound bliss level. Your cells will dance with joy.
Over time this reflects in that yoga glow, as well as a yoga butt. Yoga glow- a radiance- is the outer manifestation of an inner glow-a steady inner peace that is your true nature.
With regular private yoga sessions- you'll find your day flows better, you accomplish more and you cope better no matter what challenges come up with family or business.
- Start to function at optimal levels, clarity of mind, sense of ease in body and overall health.
- Re-tone abdomen quickly post-pregnancy. A restorative yoga or gentle practice can de-stress and improve mood postpartum or menopausal.
- Heal or cope with chronic illness, low back pain etc.
- Learn to meditate (proven to alleviate stress symptoms)-perfect for fertility issues, or most chronic illness with stress component. According to Ayurveda most illness is the result of imbalance and stress negatively impacting the body. Unless mitigated in the long term this manifests as varying degrees of illness.
- Cope with insomnia or life stress such as death of loved one.
In Home Private Meditation
If you are still not sure of the benefits of meditation, here is an article that gives an overview. See my bio for my background in meditation. Here are a few scientifically proven benefits:
- Mindfulness meditation can reduce cortisol and blood pressure, and to improve the immune system function.
- Mindfulness decreases rumination and boosts the ability to pay attention.
- Mindfulness meditation has been shown to reduce activity in the amygdala; a part of the brain that determines how much stress we experience and that is important in regulating fear responses. And shockingly the practice even shrank the amygdala size. This lessening in size was correlated with study participants reporting feeling less stressed. This was considered scientifically "shocking" that a mental technique could have an actual structural change on the brain.
- Reduce emotional reactivity to upsetting stimuli.
All sessions-45 min. Time includes instructions, time for questions and physical set up so you are comfortable. Slowly the time spent in meditation will be lengthened to the full time. For new beginners, 15-20 min actual meditation time is a great start.

You know, just alittle thing like WoW does so I know it went off, nothing big. Maybe a folder to store multiples. thnx.
The 2-second massive drop in fps isnt enough for ya?
I'm truly sorry to ask this but...what's the key for the screenshot? I tried my PrntScrn on the keyboard but it didn't work...or maybe I'm not looking in the right folder. How do them work?
the key is f12, there will be a .png file (i think its .png) created in your riot folder. If not in the main folder its in one of the other sub-folders. Be sure to rename the files otherwise they will be overwritten in your next game when you take a screen shot. @Digitalneo: When you take the screen shot, your computer eats up some resources gathering the image and saving it to your harddrive. Unless you have a beast of a machine, you should notice the drop in Frames Per Second. It will feel like a small lag spike.
Ok so there is a folder? Cus i just hit PrtScn like i do in WoW. Still a msg would help abit, if not just for reasurance. And no my game doesn't lag, my machine is more than enough for LoL.
Thanks for your replies! @Digitalneo: They wrote a couple of posts earlier that the key is F12 and there is a folder where files get saved, but they get overwritten the next game (I guess they get overwritten if you make some more screenshot).
I just told you, instead of PrtScn, use F12 key. PrtScn does not work in-game. And yes there is a folder. It should be installed under your main drive and should be called something like Riot Games (ie C:\Riot Games)
Actually my printscreen did work ingame, but like most print screens i paste in paint and save. but if its f12, ok but still, a MESSAGE is what im now asking about.

Tomasz Adamek returns Sept. 8
Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek will return to action on Sept. 8 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., against an opponent to be determined, but a rematch with Eddie Chambers is off the table for now due to an injury.
Adamek, a former cruiserweight and light heavyweight world champion, claimed a 12-round unanimous decision against Chambers, a former heavyweight title challenger, on June 16 in a competitive fight that many believed Chambers deserved to win.
Rafael's Boxing Blog
Get the latest scoop and analysis on the world of boxing from ESPN.com's Dan Rafael in his blog.
However, the possibility of an immediate rematch went away when Chambers was diagnosed with a torn tendon in his left biceps that will keep him out of action for at least two months.
It was clear that Chambers had suffered some sort of injury to his arm in the first round, and he did not use his left hand very much for the rest of the fight. Now, Chambers has his diagnosis and is headed for surgery.
"At the end of the first round, I felt something rip," Chambers said Thursday. "I remember thinking, 'Hey, that didn't feel right.' It turns out that I tore a tendon that connects my bicep to the bone. I am having surgery on Monday to repair that.
"Once I have the surgery, I will do physical therapy for about two months. I will keep in shape physically, you know, running, and anything that doesn't require the upper body, etc., just to stay in shape and to stay ready so that once I get back it's not going to take as long to get ready for fighting. I want to get back into a fight as soon as I possibly can after that."
Adamek (46-2, 28 KOs), a Poland native who lives in Jersey City, N.J., has developed a strong fan following in Newark, where he has drawn fans to the Prudential Center -- which was also site of the fight with Chambers (36-3, 18 KOs) -- from the sizable Polish community in the region.
However, for the Sept. 8 fight, there is a twist. Instead of the card taking place at night, it will take place on a Saturday afternoon in order to accommodate a live prime-time pay-per-view broadcast in Poland, where Adamek is the most popular fighter in the country.
The first pay-per-view in Polish history took place last fall -- Adamek's 10th-round knockout loss in Wroclaw, Poland, in a heavyweight title fight against Vitali Klitschko.
Kathy Duva of Main Events, which co-promotes Adamek with Ziggy Rozalski, said Adamek wanted to have his next fight in Newark, so by going in the afternoon for Polish TV purposes he could accomplish his goals of fighting again in Newark and also generating substantial revenue from Polish TV.
Main Events has not made an American television deal for the September bout. It could wind up being distributed as an independent pay-per-view, although the bulk of the revenue will come from Poland's pay-per-view.
"Tomasz wanted to stay active and we wanted to try out the pay-per-view in Poland again," Duva said. "We discussed with Ziggy and Tomasz about trying to do it for the June 16 fight, but that fight was on NBC (Sports Net) in the United States (at night), which is like 4 or 5 in the morning in Poland, so that didn't work for a pay-per-view over there.
"So we decided it might be worth trying to do one of these shows with Tomasz in Newark in the afternoon. He wants to fight in the U.S. and work at rebuilding his audience here."
Duva said that should everything go well for Adamek on Sept. 8, he would fight again in December, also likely in the United States.
