Billy Idol Back On The Road, Plotting New Album And Memoir
Tuesday, June 4, 2013
Billy Idol is back on the road. Idol's most high profile gig of the tour will be his June 15th appearance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Idol told us that in addition to road plans, he's currently got his hands full for the duration of 2013: "Well, we've been gradually been putting material together for a new record, which we may well record in the autumn. I've also been writing an autobiography, kind of about my life and that all may well come out next year."
Idol told us that his live show is built to be a fan pleaser: "It's a lot of fun and I mean, we've got a lot of up-tempo music. I mean, people know a lot of the songs well -- 'Rebel Yell,' 'Dancing With Myself,' 'White Wedding.' But we've also got the other side of things, which are 'Flesh For Fantasy's,' or the 'Eyes Without A Face's' and a lot of the known songs that people know and love."

How to Select
How to Choose Commercial Bathroom Products
A topic of choosing the right commercial bathroom products is truly a broad one. There are a lot of issues to be discussed and described here, and the importance of these little fixtures is simply beyond question. Not only do they contribute to the overall design and quality level of any commercial establishment, they sufficiently simplify the process of bathroom and lavatory use, making it more convenient and hygienic.
There is a wide list of commercial bathroom accessory types that you can take advantage of — the most commonly used are the following:
- Baby Changing Tables. Changing stations are extremely useful in those places where little children are expected to appear. First of all, these are airports, railway or bass stations, large trading centers, hospitals, and other public places. Availability of such a convenient and easy-to-use device within a washroom area allows parents to change diapers for their babies and provides them with a safe and hygienic environment.
- Grab Bars. This is an extremely important part of any washroom. Grab bars provide people with space for grabbing and confidence in safety and enough balance. While wet floors in washrooms may constitute a significant danger for people, the handy wall mounted fixtures for grabbing remain irreplaceable in such places.
- Hand Dryers. This is a smart and convenient washroom device that is considered to be a highly efficient one. With a hand dryer installation there remains no need in disposable paper towels and things like that. The washroom remains clean and free from a heap of thrown around paper while washroom visitors stay satisfied with a pleasant service. Hand dryers can be either button or sensor operated.
- Hand Sanitizers. This is a great addition to any washroom. It is not a secret that public places can appear to be a primary source of bacteria and viruses. It is quite easy to catch an unexpected disease while staying in such place for a long time. In this case a timely washing of hands can become a real escape. That is why, hand sanitizers still remain one of the most important and demandable type of washroom accessories all around the world.
- Sanitary Dispensers. This is a highly useful sanitary fixture applied in most of the public washrooms. It provides clean and pleasant environment and improves the overall service level of any commercial establishment. There are different types of sanitary dispensers according to the kind of things they are dispensing. Among the most commonly used are the following: dispensers for cups and lids, facial tissues, foam, soap, gloves, napkins, female toiletries, seat covers, toilet tissues, towels, multi-purposed units and waste receptacles.
While choosing a full set of commercial bathroom products required for one separate washroom, other accessories like ashtrays and urns, cabinets, hair dryers, janitorial, mirrors, plumbing, shower accessories, soap and toothbrush holders, toilet partition hardware, urinals, vendors, and disposals can be taken advantage of.

How to Select
How to shop for Faucets
Choosing a faucet is often a question of combining style with practicality. Faucets are the most visible part of any plumbing system. They protrude from above the sink or basin and with a quick twist will release cold or hot water. They serve a vital role in washing hands and dishes. Imagine if whenever you wished to do the dishes a hosepipe or bucket was needed to provide the water.
Besides the practical aspect faucets also add a level of style and individuality. Faucets differ depending on their location in the home, office or industrial space. Each faucet should be selected for either its ability to meet the demands of the user both stylistically and functionally.
When choosing a faucet it is useful to consider the following factors:
- Use. The faucet may be placed in one of several locations. Bathrooms, kitchens and work areas all need faucets. However a faucet will a bucket attachment would look out of place in a bathroom and elegant chrome finished faucets would be inappropriate and a costly addition to most workrooms.
- Environment. Busy industrial kitchens are more likely to need faucets that come with spray attachments. Whereas in the tranquil haven of the bathroom a faucet with a touch of luxury of style is likely be better suited. Individual tastes must be factored into any decision.
- Material. Faucets are available in a variety of materials and finishes to match or complement the environment. Faucets can be chosen in black, brass, bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, gray, oil rubbed bronze, stainless steel and white.
- Features. The modern faucet has evolved beyond a simple valve device. Flow control options now ensure constant pressure and remove the risk of scalding. Motion sensing faucets offer hands-free operation and increased levels of hygiene.

BiographyAt Johns Hopkins, Dr. Paul Nyquist has two roles as an attending physician in the neurocritical care unit (NCCU) and as a member of the cerebrovascular team. His research goal is to bridge the gap between clinical trials and bench top innovations. He has embraced a research strategy characterized by two features. The first is an ongoing interest in any translational research projects that incorporate well founded biological models into patient care in brain injury. He has a theoretical focus which emphasizes the role of inflammation in cerebrovascular disease with particular attention to the effects of inflammation on endothelial activation. His goal is to develop acute interventions that will improve outcomes in patients with acute brain injury of any type.
Dr. Paul Nyquist received his medical degree and masters of public health degree from the George Washington University. After medical school, Dr. Nyquist completed his internal medicine internship at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Upon completion, he was trained as a Navy Second Class Deep Sea Diver, radiation health specialist and an Undersea Medical Officer. Dr. Nyquist was part of the United States Naval world wide dive watch and rendered on call medical advice for diving and decompression related injuries for the United States Navy.
His clinical neurological training includes a neurology residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota as well as a senior staff clinical fellowship at the National Institutes of Health in the National Institutes of Neurological Diseases and Stroke in Bethesda, Maryland. He was a critical care medicine fellow in the ACGME accredited National Institutes of Health Critical Care Medicine program for 16 months. Dr. Nyquist then served as director of the stroke program at Inova Fairfax Hospital, assistant professor of Neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical School, and clinical assistant professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical School. He completed his Neurocritical care fellowship training at Johns Hopkins and is now an Associate Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Anesthesiology/Critical Care at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Research Summary
Dr. Paul Nyquist has an ongoing interest in any translational research project that incorporates well-founded biologic models into patient care in brain injury. He has been involved in a number of clinical trials that have been at the forefront of new technologic innovations in brain injury and has extensive experience in clinical trials in both military and civilian settings. These trials often have involved protocols with high clinical impact on those enrolled.
Dr. Nyquist also has a theoretical focus that emphasizes the role of inflammation in cerebrovascular disease, with particular attention to the effects of inflammation on endothelial activation. He is interested in how inflammation and endothelial activation affect the neurovascular unit. To that end, he is investigating the role of genetic variation on the proclivity of the endothelium to become transformed into a procoagulant state in carotid atherosclerosis.
Using extensive clinical testing for commonly detected risk factors in cerebral vascular disease, Dr. Nyquist is exploring how cerebrovascular small-vessel disease in patients who are predisposed to atherosclerosis may be influenced by inflammation and genetic history. He is also investigating how biomarkers may be used to detect damage in each compartment of the neurovascular unit in the settings of vasospasm and cerebral salt wasting in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Dr. Nyquist believes that an interrelationship exists between small-vessel disease of the brain and small-vessel disease of the heart and that a number of potential genes may predispose to both. In a study that he conducted in a group of patients who had asymptomatic small-vessel disease of the heart, he found a cross-correlation with silent small-vessel strokes in the brain. His goal is to identify the genes that are associated with cerebral vascular disease in the hopes of developing new treatments for this condition that afflicts millions worldwide.

Antique Rings
Rings are the most meaningful of all jewelry. Rings have delighted, captivated, and thrilled us since the third millennium BC. Perhaps antique rings are the most popular type of jewelry worn today because they touch our hearts with stories of the past and remind us of our dreams for the future. Antique rings are given to express friendship, with the promise of marriage, and to celebrate memorable occasions.
A History of Antique Rings in the Art World
Spanning three centuries (the 14th to 17th), the cultural movement of the Renaissance had a significant impact on all aspects of life, and jewelry was no different. Antique rings, in particular, reflected what was taking place in the world even after the era officially came to an end.Read more >>

A History of Antique Rings in the Art World (continued from above)
During the Renaissance, women wore rings on all the fingers of their hands, sometimes with more than one stacked on the same finger. These antique rings were often arranged both above and below the joints with skin peeking out in between. Antique rings from the Renaissance period of history had some common traits: 1) Typically they featured gems in their settings; 2) Ornamentation was a key hallmark; and 3) The bezels of these rings harbored secret compartments to stow perfumed scents that masked body odor.
Antique engagement rings from the Renaissance era are captured in painted portraits of Henry VIII's third and fourth wives, Jane Seymour and Anne Cleves, both of whom are wearing multiple rings on their hands. The king, however, wasn't the only one immortalizing antique rings in tribute to his wives.
Artist Dominique Ingres used his creative talents to capture his own second wife, Delphine Ramel. Deep in thought, her hand propped under her chin and her pointer finger pointing up to her temple, Delphine's curled pinkie lights up the middle of the canvas with two antique rings, a gold band that appears to be set with a round ruby encircled by diamonds. A darker band, perhaps onyx, rests atop it with a round diamond shimmering from its center.
Perhaps the most famous early artistic rendering of antique rings can be found in a painting titled "Portrait of a Lady" by Rogier van der Weyden, which hangs in Washington, D.C.'s National Gallery of Art. A 15th century Flemish painter, van der Weyden chose an oil on oak medium for "Portrait of a Lady," a choice which rendered a sharp contrast in darkness and light.
More recently, "The Engagement Ring," an oil painting by British artist John Shirley Fox, features a bonneted, curly-haired woman gazing longingly at the ring on her left hand as she toys with it. Given the painting's time period (the late 1800s), the antique ring is most likely an example from the Victorian jewelry period, in particular the Aesthetic period. The antique ring that is the focus of the art appears to be banded in gold with two blue stones, aquamarines or perhaps blue sapphires, set side by side.
Indeed, gold dominated the Victorian jewelry era thanks to the Industrial Revolution, which allowed it to be used more cost-effectively as a medium and, in turn, to be more readily purchased by the emerging middle class. Engagement rings (like those found in Fox's painting) from the Victorian antique period often had diamonds or amethysts set in them. Diamonds were common, but they were often found in conjunction with other gemstones as well, like pearls, rubies, emeralds and sapphires.

Is the free enterprise system in the West able to create more jobs? Is unemployment the most important problem?
Why do politicians disingenuously imply that individuals, e.g., Obama or Bush, are to blame for high unemployment? Technology (e.g., the kindle) has made many jobs obsolete. A lot of other work is outsourced to countries with cheaper labor. It is not obvious that people will continuing to buy the latest discretionary items, such as the newest i-phone or HDTV, at the same rate in the future. High Tech, like other industries, is cyclical. Can we assure that almost everyone will eventually find a job? Are jobs really the most important issue today? This opinion piece asserts there are sufficient resources for all Americans to have their needs met. http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-07/opinion/rushkoff.jobs.obsolete_1_toll-collectors-robots-jobs?_s=PM:OPINION
Of course, most Americans dislike socialism and want to work for their money. And they do not want the government to create jobs, despite the deterioration of infrastructure, such as bridges. But don't we live in a new economic world in which we need new solutions?

Note Taking Tips
Before Class
- Read and review materials before class. Look for main ideas by looking for headings or bolded words. Develop questions for class while you read the day's assignment.
- Sit where you are most likely to pay attention.
- Review the previous day's notes before class. This refreshes your memory and is especially helpful for classes where new material builds on what has already been covered. Interacting with class material more frequently also helps you remember it for exams.
During Class
- Listen for clues that will tell you what is important. If an instructor repeats something, it is probably a key theme for the day. Instructors will sometimes use language that outlines the themes for the day and that highlights the main points. Examples include introductory phrases like "today we will discuss," outline words like "first" or "second" and concluding phrases such as "the main idea of today's lecture was." Pay attention to what an instructor writes on the board or has printed in a presentation.
- Make sure that your notes are organized. This will mean something different for each student. Determine what works best for you. Generally speaking though, your notes should be in chronological order, labeled and separated by course.
- Try using pictures, diagrams and charts to visually explain what you have written down.
- Leave open space on each page of notes. This allows you to fill in anything you may have missed during the lecture.
After Class
- Review your notes within 24 hours of the lecture.
- Do not be afraid to edit your notes. This is why you left open space on the page. Try re-reading your course materials or working with a study group to determine if you missed anything in class.
- Conduct weekly note review sessions. Again, repetition will help you remember the information.
- Some students find it helpful to re-write or type their notes.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Community Heart and Vascular Hospital performs all standard and state-of-the-art cardiovascular diagnostic testing procedures. These tests are performed to help diagnose, treat and monitor cardiac and vascular diseases. The equipment at our diagnostic center is state-of-the-art and modern. We utilize the newest technologies so that we can obtain the best diagnostic information for cardiovascular diseases.
To schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing, please call 317-621-8565.
Our diagnostic facility is nationally accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for testing services, including echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and vascular ultrasound. Accreditation demonstrates a commitment to quality care, quality diagnostic evaluations and accountability. The standards require that all interpreting physicians and practicing technologists/sonographers are adequately trained and experienced to interpret and perform noninvasive testing.
Our highly-skilled cardiologists are certified in these tests and provide diagnostic testing of exceptional quality. Our team is led by Dr. Kiran Kareti, medical director of echocardiography and screening diagnostic testing services, and by Dr. Jo Mahenthiran, director of the Cardiovascular Diagnostic Center of Excellence.
Our certified technicians also receive ongoing education to ensure that all patients receive quality diagnostic tests. They work together with our doctors and administrative personnel to provide the best cardiovascular diagnostic services.
In addition to standard diagnostic testing, our services also include:
A test that records the electrical activity of the heart. This test is capable of detecting early changes of a heart attack, structural changes in the heart and changes due to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias or dysrhythmias).
A test that is much like an ECG, but takes longer because it records more information related to abnormal electrical activity of the heart.
This is a small, portable, battery-powered ECG machine worn by a patient to record heartbeats on tape over a period of 24 to 48 hours during normal activities. This test is designed to help detect slow, fast and irregular heart rhythm disorders.
A small, portable, battery-powered machine used by a patient to record electrical activity (ECG) over a long period of time. Patients may keep the recorder for several weeks. Each time symptoms are experienced, the patient presses a button on the recorder to record an ECG sample. As soon as possible, this sample is transmitted to the doctor's office for evaluation to help detect sporadic heart rhythm disorders.
A test performed while the patient is connected to an ECG and blood pressure monitor and strapped to a table that tilts the patient from a lying to standing position. This test is used to determine if the patient is prone to sudden drops in blood pressure or slow pulse rates with position changes related to abnormal cardiac reflex responses.
A non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart and vessels to evaluate the heart's chambers and valves. We offer state-of-the-art equipment, protocols and newer techniques with ultrasound, including 3D images, to help detect abnormalities. Echocardiogram screenings for student athletes and genetic heart disease are also available.
A test in which a small transducer ultrasound probe (similar to an endoscope) is passed down the esophagus and placed directly behind the heart to obtain superior quality images of the heart structures. This test is routinely performed during cardiac surgeries for close monitoring and to confirm accuracy of the surgical procedure.
Cardiac stress tests are used to assess the response of the heart under increased demand. They may be done through exercise or chemically if the patient is unable to exercise. In an exercise test, the patient walks on a treadmill or pedals a stationary bike to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, symptoms and electrical activity (ECG). A chemical stress test is done with a medicine that either raises the heart rate or redistributes blood supply to create a stress response in the heart muscle. This test may be conducted in conjunction with an ultrasound (ECHO) or nuclear tracer imaging to improve detection of strain or altered heart function or blood supply due to clogged blood vessels in the heart.
A stress test may be used to detect coronary artery disease or to determine safe levels of exercise following a heart attack, stent placement or heart surgery. Special protocols and expertise are also available for advanced forms of stress testing, such as cardiopulmonary monitoring, hemodynamic and ultrasound monitoring for special forms of cardiac diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, for various valve diseases and with lower extremity vascular blood flow studies.
Small amounts of safe nuclear tracer agents are used with Emission Tomography (SPECT and MUGA) imaging to study blood supply and the heart function, including assessing the extent of living muscle tissue following a heart attack. This test is often done in conjunction with cardiac stress testing.
Multi-detector, low-radiation CT scan imaging of the heart and blood vessels is performed routinely. Heart and lung CT screening is part of this service. To obtain scans, we use high-quality CT angiography images of the coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, aorta and other blood vessels in the body with patient-centered protocols and advanced post-processing techniques are utilized to obtain theses scans.
Vascular ultrasound and CT imaging techniques are used to study blood vessels in the body (outside of the heart) prone to blockages and cholesterol build-up. This also includes studies of the venous system of the body and disorders associated with it. Skilled technicians and physicians utilize state-of-the-art equipment and protocols to obtain test results. A vascular screening test called Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) can detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). To schedule an ABI screening, call 800-777-7775 or learn more.
With one of the few 3T MRI scanners in Indiana, we offer cutting-edge technology for cardiac MRI imaging. MRI imaging is used to obtain high-quality diagnostic images of the heart and the blood vessels. A dedicated team of physicians and technologists specialize in cardiac MRI services. These include stress MRI perfusion imaging, assessment of complex cardiovascular diseases, and MR angiography of the thoracic vessels. An increasing number of patients with previously undetected or unresolved cardiovascular diseases are being appropriately diagnosed and treated with MRI technology.

Remembering A Superhero
Remembering a Superhero
Lindsey Martin was not your average superhero.
The only child of older parents of limited means, and not particularly athletic, he enjoyed retreats into a world of fantasy as a little boy. Like many kids of his generation, he devoured comic books and idolized Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman as they struggled to defeat the forces of evil and set the world to rights.
Lindsey loved school and was an excellent student. He attended Roanoke College where he fell in love with history, especially English history, most especially with the Tudors and English royalty from Elizabeth I forward. He read voraciously and could quote chapter and verse of the lives of the Tudors and Windsors.
He put himself through college by working in the library. It took him longer than usual because his mother was in poor health, but the extra work experience set him on the path of his career. After earning a graduate degree in library science at the University of Tennessee, he began his career at Southwest Virginia Community College. Budget cuts there sent him on to Chattanooga-Hamilton County Public Library in Tennessee. He then accepted a job with the Arlington County Public Library, but when a routine physical turned up renal failure and a malignancy, the job offer was retracted. Lindsey found himself in need of serious medical care but without a job, health insurance, or parental assistance, both parents having died.
Thanks to help from relatives, friends, and the Kidney Foundation, Lindsey got through surgery and stabilization and began dialysis. He could have gone on disability, but as he said at the time, "All this is happening to me and I haven't lived yet". He was barely 30 years old. He chose to work, to make a professional contribution to society. As things have a way of working out, TCPL was looking to hire our first technical services librarian. We could offer a flexible work schedule to accommodate Lindsey's thrice-weekly dialysis, and he brought a wealth of knowledge, training, and capability to our library. Thus, that August 1985 began a happy association that lasted two and a half decades.
Over the years, Lindsey saw us through transition of the public catalog from the old typewritten and then printed cards to microfiche, then CD-ROM, then finally to online in real time. He chafed at the bit to move on to the next technology, marveling at how much time each upgrade saved and how much more he could accomplish.
When he began with TCPL, Lindsey's office was a little corner in the staff workroom in "the back". After the bookmobile garage became vacant and was outfitted with a floor and pegboard wall finish, that room, really in "the back", became his domain. He was obsessive about neatness and order, and carefully arranged all his surroundings, from the carts of new books to be processed to the squared stacks of books on his desk and the precisely lined up sticky notes which were his to do list. He decorated his workspace with busts of famous writers, a framed poster of Melvil Dewey and his classification scheme, and a white cat shared by one of the staff children. With determined neatness, he created an oasis of orderly calm in an often chaotic environment.
Lindsey adored animals and felt great compassion for homeless cats and dogs. Unable to keep a pet himself, he delighted in the occasional visit from staff pets or the appearance of strays around the library. He was a quiet contributor to the ASPCA.
He was also compassionate toward people, regardless of their station in life, and showed considerable patience and understanding with a wide variety of library visitors when he emerged from "the back" to work his evening or weekend shift "out front". A private person, he nonetheless struck up friendships with a wide circle of people, including staff, library patrons, nurses and doctors, and his fellow dialysis patients and had special empathy for those experiencing trying life situations. He found himself counseling others who appreciated his discretion, experience and wisdom.
Lindsey was an excellent teacher, thoughtfully considering the student's point of view and structuring training to suit the individual. He once said he had dreamed of becoming a professor of library science and teaching cataloging, at which he was an expert. He was a generous colleague, taking time to help staff at our HAL consortium's member libraries, and contributing to professional listservs.
Lindsey was a meticulous perfectionist, insisting that things be done right. A professional through and through, he valued his education, partly because it was so hard won, and was committed to his work, spending many hours of his own time working via his computer from home. He could become exasperated with those who put in their time but who didn't care about the results or who whined about trivial matters. While there were many days when he didn't feel well, he came to work because he knew we needed him and because he cared about making his contribution.
He also came because we were the family he didn't have. And for the food. He had to be careful about his diet, but loved the birthday goodies and occasional celebrations staff shared. And the camaraderie. And Lindsey was a ham who relished attention. For Halloween, he dressed in his Superman or Batman costumes, or in the magnificent floor length cape and crown Nora Lockett made for their portrayal of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. Hollywood royalty was another of his passions. He read many movie star biographies and saw all the classic films as well as contemporary pictures, and developed an outstanding collection of VHS tapes and DVDs for the library.
Some years ago, after much encouragement from his doctor, he worked through the requirements to become a candidate for a kidney transplant. He struggled with the decision, because if the transplant did not work, he had no other options. He also worried that accepting a kidney from a donor would deny a younger person the opportunity for a healthy life and, so, after being accepted on the list, quietly he removed himself from it. He continued dialysis, until hobbling on painful feet, working on his computer with gnarled, permanently bent fingers, he realized he wasn't able to continue working each day, and retired a year ago. And yet, he came in once or twice a week as a volunteer and did cleanup work from his computer at home.
On April 26, Lindsey Martin died as he had lived, with quiet dignity, patience and grace, on his own terms, looking forward to what the next life has in store for him. He rose above the tragedies life cruelly dealt him and, in the end, without bitterness, retained his belief in the essential goodness in others. In his own way, he conquered the evil in his world by not letting it hold sway over him. Lindsey Martin was far from the average fantasy hero because he was real, a living, breathing, passionate, moral, committed human being. We remember him with love and gratitude. An unsung hero in life, he will forever be our remarkable Superman in our library memory.

I think change gets harder with age. I cringe inside when I find out I'm going to have to change the way I've been doing something at work and learn a new way, for example. It seems the only thing we can be certain about with change is that it will happen again. Health care behaviors seem to be some of the hardest changes to make.
A number of theories about human behavior and change exist. One such theory, by Kurt Lewin and Edgar Schein, proposes that change is a three-stage process — unfreezing a behavior, changing, and then refreezing the new behavior.
Getting motivated: Unfreezing
The first stage — the unfreezing stage — is becoming motivated to change. How do we become motivated to change? A new diagnosis of diabetes, a poor A1C report from the medical care provider, nudges from a family member or self-evaluation all might motivate change. At this stage, the change process becomes a mental game of mind over matter. We realize the current situation isn't working and that ignoring the condition won't make things better. Real and unreal anxieties can slow down and impede the process of change. You might question if you can change, how to start or if it will make a difference.
Making changes
The change stage follows making the decision that a change needs to occur. Next, we must decide what needs to change. Activities that help us change are beneficial in the change stage. These activities might include:
Making it permanent: Refreezing
The refreezing stage — making the change permanent — is probably the hardest stage. This final stage is when the change becomes habitual and includes developing a new self-concept. You become a person identifying and living for wellness.
Your thoughts?
Have a great week!

As a ret. Private Chef, I observed that we prepare, for ourselves and family the same 7-10 entrees, repeatedly. They are our comfort. It makes sense that if you alter the recipes, one by one you will be more satisfied with your new lifestyle.
For instance; I love mashed potatoes. Switch 1/2 of the potatoes for cauliflower or broccoli . Or mash sweet potatoes.
Have fun!
Monitoring is the key in beating diabetes
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about an year back. My doctor did not start any medications immediately and advised me life style change. When I was diagnosed, my HbA1C was 8+. But with lifestyle change within 3 months I was below 6.
It is very important in this disease to monitor yourself. I used a web based software to log and monitor my parameters [www.friendofdiabetic.com]. The more you log your parameters, more it acts as a feedback to improve. I don't think I would have achieved A1C of 6 without monitoring what I was doing.
Hi.I am new to posting so please excuse me. I liked your article about having to change and re evaluate our lifestyles. I have two friend that have diabetes and one tries to eat that candy and pays later. We really have to keep focused and stay on the healthy path as best as we can.I came across dandelionhealingtea.com and foun out that it is supposed to help diabetes. I thought I would share this knowledge for anyone who might want to check it out. I also read that it helps other conditions and is vitamin rich. I started drinking the dandelion tea for all of the other wonderful benefits it has and am going to tell my friends or just suprise them with a kind little gift of dandelion tea for them. Maybe this could be a beneficial,pleasant and easy way to at least begin to change for the sake of our health in a natural way.Take Care and don't give up!
I comprehend the concept of Unfreezing. But doing it seems imposible to me. How do I start? Where do I go for help.
how many sugar grams a day can you have if you have diabetes ?
barbara, try not to be so hard on yourself. It sounds like you are an evolving type 1 diabetic and they caught you early in the diagnosis where initially the pancreas insulin function was still working fairly well. Read the article in our blog titled "Diabetes Diagnosis, type is not always clear." Nov. 3,2009. This may help answer a few of your concerns. Nancy
I have what I thought was type 2 diabetes but now after a loss of 52lb and a complete loss of controle of my sugar levels I now have type 1. In just 3 days, no more oral meds but lots of shots...I feel like I messed up bad. HELP......
I'm a type 2 diabetic and I'm well educated. Even though I'm not stupid and I can see what I have to do, doing the right thing is so difficult. Being a diabetic in denial can be very frustrating indeed! Liked your blog - food for thought.
I have to be motivated to make the change. My motivation was to watch older relatives succumb to diabetes. My doctor advised me on diet when I was dx with T2 ten years ago and so far no problems. I wish I had been motivated before the dx!
I'm 54 years ''young'' and I have stop drinking and doing illicit drugs for over 12 years and et times belive it or not I still fight it, coming to learn to get out of the ring was a hard lesson to say the least, in 2007 I had a heart attack and was also diagnose with diabetes type 2 and the first test they made for hepatitis c was a false positive wich meant that I a point in time I contracted it but I'm part of the lucky ones my body fought it within the first 48 hours so I am not a bearer of it (to close for comfort) if you ask me.
There is plenty of stuff that I should do to be healthier but I'm not motivated in the least to do them why, mainly because...its a very long story that I hope will end soon.
We'd like to mention our commitment to encouraging a healthy diet. For someone with a new health issue there can be a challenging transition. The health benefits eating of fish are enormous - not with a generic fish sandwiches or greasy fish & chips at a fast food joint - but with wonderful home cooked recipes or the frozen healthy cuisine we create.

Blasts With Monocytic Differentiation
photo size: small | high
Acute myelomonocytic leukemia, acute monoblastic leukemia, and acute monocytic leukemia represent the myeloid leukemias with cytologic and cytochemical features of monocytic differentiation in the WHO classification. They correspond to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) FAB-M4, FAB-M5a, and FAB-M5b, respectively, in the French-American-British (FAB) classification. These 3 subtypes of AML differ solely in what percentage of immature cells show cytochemical evidence of monocytic differentiation and whether those immature cells are more or less mature. Promonocytes appear immature but retain some features of mature monocytes, such as folded and convoluted nuclear contours with a moderate amount of vacuolated cytoplasm. Monoblasts have an ameboid quality, with round to oval nuclei containing delicate chromatin, prominent nucleoli, and abundant cytoplasm.

Life is going good, busy but good. I have a microbiology exam on Tuesday so I have a lot of studying to do this weekend. I also have a party for my business on Friday and a wedding on Saturday.
Sometimes I find it so difficult to manage my personal life, business, and school at the same time. This week I did my job shadowing for the TRiO class. It went so well. I followed a nurse to 4 home visits from Hospice. It really did show me that Hospice is what I want to do. I have such a passion for Hospice nursing and being in the field for a day showed me what a great career it is.

The ability to provide simple solutions for correlating multiple parameters within cellular processes is essential for today's screening facilities. With a variety of plate readers available to laboratories, it is necessary to validate assays in a variety of testing situations and plate formats. Here we demonstrate the scalability of the Chroma-Luc™ Technology, a dual color luminescent reporter methodology that generates red and green luminescence upon addition of a single reagent.
Cellular lysates, containing the green CBG99luc and red CBRluc genes, and reagent were dispensed manually in 96 and 384-well formats, or using a noncontact dispenser for1536-well format. Data was collected with Molecular Devices and PerkinElmer® HTS plate readers. The excellent linearity, limit of detection, separation of signal, and Z' Factor scores show the ability of this chemistry to generate a stable dual color signal and be detected on a variety of HTS plate readers used in high-throughput screening environments.

There were even fans that bought Drake tickets for the 2010 Grammys just to hear him sing. That was a powerful performance, pairing Drake with Lil Wayne and Eminem on stage for a stunning rendition of Forever. Following the appearance at the Grammy's, the blogoshepre went nuts for "Forever" and Drake ascent to the upper echelon of hip hop was complete.
Drake, also known as Aubrey Drake Graham, was born October 24, 1986. In his short career he's been able to pair with some of the biggest stars in music. Acts associated with Drake include Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Jamie Foxx, Young Jeezy, DJ Khaled, Young Money, Mary J. Blige, Timbaland and many more. Before emerging as one of the hottest acts in hip hop, Drake was better known to fans as Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian-television show Degrassi: The Next Generation. Without a major label release to his credit, Drake was still able to garner a number of awards from the music business. And without a tour going on, Drake tickets were still a hot topic of converstation in the music business. At the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards, he won Track of the Year for "Every Girl" as well as Rookie of the Year. He was also nominated for MTV's Best New Artist in a Video and at the Soul Train Awards was nominated for Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Collaboration. Along with success comes a lot of attention, and the attention on the Drake Concert Tour can attest to that.
Music fans were first introduced to Drake when he released the Room for Improvement mixtape. The for improvement paired Drake with DJ Smallz and featured appearances by Trey Songz, Lupe Fiasco and more Clipse. Drake followed up his first effort with 2007's Comeback Season and its single Replacement Girl, which featured Trey Songz. It debuted as BET's New Joint of the Day on April 30, 2007. After Drake's first two singles came out, the music ended up with 'Lil Wayne, who was about to embark on a tour. 'Lil Wayne invited Drake to go on the road with him and while on tour the duo recorded several songs together, including "Ransom," "I Want This Forever" and a "Brand New" remix.
Drake's third mixtape, So Far Gone, was released free online and was downloaded 2,000 downloads in the first two hours it was available. Featuring Lil Wayne, Lloyd, Trey Songz and more, So Far Gone archived success both in the mainstream as well as in hip hop's underground very quickly for a relatively-unknown act and went on to receive heavy radio play on the strength of it's biggest singles "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful." The mixtape earned rave reviews in the hip hop community, and was even named MTV's "Hottest Mixtape of 2009 (So Far)." Drake made hip hop history one July 4 of 2009 when two of his singles, "Best I Ever Had" and "Every Girl" were on the Billboard Hot 100, just the second time ever an artists has had his first two singles in the top ten of the charts. Around this time 'Lil Wayne invited Drake to sign with his Young Money Entertainment production company, and the deal was formally completed on June 29, 2009. Following the signing, Drake embarked on the America's Most Wanted Tour with Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy.
Drakes first official album release Thank Me Later is a who's who of music business stars. Acts reported to appear on Thank Me Later include Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, the Kings of Leon, The Dream and Boi-1da. Drake tickets are selling well now, but once his first full-length album comes out he will become a household name. When asked about Thank Me Later, Drake responded: "It's gonna be bigger, it's gonna sound happier, more victorious, 'cause that's where I'm at in my life." Singles on Thank Me Later include Fireworks, Shut it Down, Over, Light Me Up and more.

Gahh, Direct3D is the job of the GPU drivers, /not/ some API translation shim.
This should not be done by WINE, this should be done by Gallium, or heck, nVidia and ATi.
Phoronix: WINE Developers Start On Direct3D 10 Support
Word out of WINE HQ this morning is that WINE 1.1.7 has been released. This development release has major changes that consist of improved device management for DOS drives, many Richedit fixes, many Windows installer fixes, and the first steps of a Direct3D 10 implementation...
Gahh, Direct3D is the job of the GPU drivers, /not/ some API translation shim.
This should not be done by WINE, this should be done by Gallium, or heck, nVidia and ATi.
I don't know, but it does fine with OpenGL..
Who cares?
If FOSSers weren't so fricking picky about their gpu drivers maybe linux would have games.
I'd rather have Direct3D9+ than OpenGL 3.
You can expect publishers to compile against Winelibs.
You cannot expect them to translate their graphics APIs.
Until Direct3D performance is equal to Windows or better, people will still use windows for games.
Some of those people don't have time to deal with two operating systems, and it's all or nothing.
Linux needs Direct3D support in its GPU drivers.

I said you /can/ expect publishers to compile against winelibs.
Cider seems to be doing the same thing as WINE3D. If it actually /works/, and if the performance is actually decent, then, for one thing it's farther along than Wine3D, and for another I might consider taking back my claims.
I stopped playing games entirely when I switched to linux. I'm the opposite of the people I describe. Since that time I've picked up tremulous and nexuiz.
You can patent an implementation. You can't patent an interface. Suing for reimplementing Direct3D on any level at all would fly in the face of all their 'interoperability' efforts and would constitute very, very bad PR. Since what I propose amounts to for the most part AMD and nVidia leaving their D3D code in when they compile drivers for Linux, and perhaps some shim with X, the companies involved would be doing little if anything /new/ that they could be sued over, and the rest of the implementation would be too drastically different for a 'good' patent to really be applicable.
I'm saying that with any given patent used against us, we could probably either dodge it or get it invalidated.
