I'm the black sheep (in more ways than one!). Diagnosed in 1970 - no one in my family had or has it.
I am the only person in my family with type 1 diabetes. Since I was diagnosed 27 years ago, I have had grandparents on both sides and even my mom become type 2 diabetics. However, at the time, no one in my family had to deal with this...
Yep, I am the only one. A very large family at that. My grandma on ma's side and one aunt (of 13 kids) has type 2. I was diagnosed in 2007 when I went to the doc because my urine smelled like maple syrup. I was in ketoacidosis.
Because I have moved back to the US since then I have had to argue with a couple of doctors about my diagnosis. Fortunately I have test results from Cambridge research study that show that I am definitely type 1 and not 2. Believe it or not, I've still had a doc argue with me over my diagnosis.
One little thing I learned that also would have woken the doctors up. type 2 diabetics rarely get ketones.
Thanks Scott, I'll remember that at my new doctor's appointment. Maybe it won't be such a fight.
Yep that's me!
The number of times nurses' have stared in disbelief at me when I tell them I have no type 1 or even 2 relatives! I hadn't even heard of type 1 until I got it and I spent the next 2 days in hospital thinking I had a terminal illness that would mean I would spend the rest of my short life in hospital never eating sugar... how wrong was I!?
Me too! Only one in my close family. Recently one of my aunts told me that my great-great-grandma had it :/
I had no clue about what Diabetes even was, when my dad (a doctor) made me run tests and told me my sugars were reaaally high I responded "That's explains why I'm so sweet!" Then when we visited the Endo and he told me I had Late Onset Juvenile Diabetes and that I had to go on insulin injections my mom begged me no to take that first injection "Once you start injecting you can never stop" she said... it was so scary but after 8 years now I can laugh and say well duh!
Hi, i am the same no one in my family has diabetes but I have had type 1 for nearly 50 yrs. Members of my family and some close friends still have no idea that i am diabetic even all these years on it is treated by some people like the plague. I have an insulin pump and a CGM and Hba1C of 5.9 so all in all things are good. Its not easy but who said it would be!!! lol
After I was diagnosed T1 at age 15, there was one old lady in my church who would always mosey up to me with this expression on her face like she thought I was dying. "How're you doin' sweetie?" she would always ask. I always responded that I was fine...I couldn't understand what the big deal was for people. As a kid, I didn't really take this disease seriously (I never ended up in the hospital with DKA either) but then my mom finally explained that back in that old lady's day (ie: the 40's) diabetes was like a death sentence.
There is no history of diabetes in my family whatsoever. Last year I was diagnosed Type 1 at age 40. The same weekend one of my brothers, aged 39, was also diagnosed with Type 1. Weird huh?
Yep...just me. My cat actually was diabetic too though :)
One week before I got married I was diagnosed with Type 1 and yes no one else in my family has any type of diabetes. That was 30 years ago and have been on the pump since Dec. 2011. I wish I started it sooner!!

hippalus how old are u? just curious :>

Is there a reason you chose October 1st as the cut off date? I'm sure I'm not the only one who bought RP for the Kha'zix bundle, which conveniently went on sale 3 days before the cut off. It's not like this is an October only thing since it extends well into November, so why are you excluding the people who bought Kha'zix on release?
ktae inuit
and hippalus, does spending and purchasing stack? could I spend 2925 and buy 7075 to get all five icons? and lastly, do riot point bonuses count towards total riot points purchased?
Silent Reaper
That Other Guy
I'm still completely confused; what is the time period (if any) you have to have bought RP in to qualify for this? Is it lifetime? This year? September-November 13? Becuase it sounds like you're still saying October 1 to November 13 which is what it was in the first place.
Yuan Shikai
Little question: Do the tier rewards only incorporate the base rp or do the bonus rp of a purchase count for it too?
Do you only get benefit from Buying OR spending RP, or will the two be combined towards the icons? It sounds like it is one or the other, but figured I would ask.

Topic: Plant Lists
Title: Native Plants for Colorado
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:Please advise me where I can find a list of native plants for the Castle Rock, Colorado area. This is for a home garden landscaping initiative.
The first place to go to find a list of potential plants for your home garden landscape is our Native Plant Database. Use the Combination Search feature instead of Recommended Species. This will provide a bigger selection with much more choice to narrow down. The volunteers and staff at the Wildflower Center who maintain the database have partners in different regions to help with these recommended species lists based on what is easy to access in local nurseries.
Under Combination Search, select the following categories: Colorado, All habits (or just search for trees, shrubs, etc.), and Duration – Annual, Biennial or Perennial. You can narrow down this search further by indicating light requirement, blooming time, soil moisture, and height specifics. The full list of Colorado natives totals 1,847 plant species so you will need to narrow your search.
Follow each plant link to our webpage for that plant to learn its growing conditions, bloom time, etc. At the bottom of each plant webpage, under Additional Resources, there is a link to the USDA webpage for that plant. Take a look there for more specific details about suitability before you put them on your final planting list. Think about including plants that have interest during a variety of seasons and that have more than one attractive feature (flower, fruit, foliage, bark, etc.) so you can get more benefits out of fewer plants.
To further narrow your list of potential plants, you will have to consider plant hardiness. Castle Rock, south of Denver is in USDA Plant hardiness zone 5b (-15 to -10 F). Just enter your zip code on the webpage and your hardiness zone will be identified. You can also get a more detailed hardiness map of Colorado by clicking on your state.
Think of your space as three layers – the upper tree canopy, the middle shrub or small tree section and the lower section that has groundcovers, perennials and biennials. Your plan can include native plants for all three of these layers. You can also have several different plants in the middle and lower layers that have attractive flowering, foliage or fruiting features during different times of the year.

"The invitation was perfect for our Memorial Day/birthday celebration, because of the subtle patriotic theme. I changed the font style, and wasn't overly happy with my choice when I received the finished product. I should have stuck to their default font recommendation for this invitation."

Merlot Nesting Tables
I have been searching for nesting tables for a long time . They either look cheap or cost too much. I spotted these on Overstock and couldn't resist. They are really rich looking , with the nice dark wood and well made. I am very happy with them , as they look like they came from an expensive furniture store. My husband put the legs on in no time and I was using them immediately.Read More
just right
Great product, great price. Love itvery nice cherry color and very durableRead More
These tables are good and look expensive
I read the reviews before I decided to purchase this nesting table set for my small family room. It arrived on time, it was easy to assemble, blends well with my decor. I wouldn't mind to buy another set.Read More
I purchased two sets of these tables to go with some new living room furniture. They are beautiful - well made - expensive looking - nice quality wood - an exceptional value. You will not be disapointed with this purchase. Two notes: Something I did not think of before I ordered, was the direction in which the stack pulls out. The smaller tables can only be removed from the larger dimension side of the set ( as accurately shown in the photo). The narrow end does not allow access. This wasn't a problem with me, but it is something to consider when buying. The second thing, is that the corners of the smallest tables, in both sets, had some VERY MINOR nicks which seem to be a direct result of the packing. I didn't reflect this in the rating because it was so minor that Old English Scratch Cover took care of it completely.Read More
great buy
very verssatile set of tables. I am using the small one as a plant stand. Finish is great and they were very easy to assemble.Read More
Great Value!
These are well-made and look beautiful in person; easy to assemble and good hard wood. Definitely worth it!!!Read More
Solid, nice-looking tables for the price
The tables arrived quickly and they were very easy to assemble - they even give you the necessary tool. They are a great idea for smaller living rooms like mine. They are easy to pull out and use, then put back. They store neatly. I have been using them for several weeks. Two issues - when I unpacked the tables, the two smaller table tops had nicks and scratches. I think I can 'cover them up' with corrective pens. The other issue is that the finish on the table tops seems very light to nonexistant. My two young boys have spilled their beverages on them and slid their plates across the surface and I can see the damages. I'm hoping I can repair the damage by buffing out the damage and perhaps layering on some protective coating of some sort. All in all, I would buy them again - they are attractive and a great deal.Read More
Brilliant for an office
I was so pleased with the quality of this product. I needed tables for a window display for my office. The color matched the other pieces I already had perfectly. For the price, I was shocked with how sturdy and heavy the materials were. It was very easy to put together and works great for what I needed it to. They look like we spent a lot of money on them.Read More
Questions & Answers
no it does not; assembly is required
No. Assembly is required, which I did not find difficult.
You just need to screw in the legs. I did this with the help of my 4 year old. It was very easy and took about 15 minutes.
How do I care for this item?
Thank you for shopping with us eroselle. I recommend using the Pledge wipes to keep the finish bright. Have a great day.
Love it
I just wipe a soft cloth over the tables as needed!
The legs look darker than the tops--are these tow-tone?
This item is not two-tone. It may be the lighting in the picture that makes it look like it is two-tone.

Best End Tables for Each Room
Although the most popular room for end tables is undoubtedly the living room, you can place these tables in nearly every room in your home. When considering how to fit end tables in the rooms of your home, consider the room decor and whether or not the style of the end table matches your own. Even more basic than the style of end table is its shape, so consider how it will fit into your room. End tables can be square, rectangular, round or oval. Some end tables even nest together. One shape of end table might look best next to a recliner, while another might be perfect next to a sectional sofa. Look carefully at the room in which you will be placing the end tables. Is dark wood or light wood prevalent? Is it a small room or large room? Will the table sit in a corner, against a wall or in the middle of the room? As you can see, end tables are quite flexible. Here are some tips on placing end tables in your home.

Coffee Table Buying Guide
From suburban mansions to studio apartments, townhouses to country homes, living rooms everywhere prominently feature the furniture must-have of the century: the coffee table.

This embarrassment of riches has been a blessing for some and a curse for others, making the hunt for the perfect fit simultaneously easier and harder than ever. The traditional setting for a coffee table is center stage, surrounded by an orchestra pit of living room furniture. Coffee tables are catchalls for items as far afield as books, magazines, remote controls, a vase of fresh peonies, dinner plates, newspapers, coasters and yes, even coffee. How do you know when a coffee table is tailored to you, your living room and your lifestyle? Learn the lingo. Create some living room furniture criteria. Include considerations of size, shape, material, style and utility. With standards informed by this coffee table primer, you'll be better able to envision the perfect piece in your home.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
Best End Tables for a Cozy Living Room
Your living room can easily become cozy simply by grouping end tables, sofas, chairs, and other furniture together to create a more intimate setting that encourages conversation. The best end tables for a cozy living room often serve multiple purposes. They can be used simply as a place to set a warm drink on a winter evening or as a useful storage area where magazines, knitting, or other living room essentials are kept. Here are some things to consider when you're shopping for the perfect end tables.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
How to Buy Cocktail Tables
What are cocktail tables? What was once known just as a coffee table is now ready for evening. A cocktail table will enhance your living room's style and add a touch of hospitality for your guests by offering a place for them to set down their drinks. When purchasing a new cocktail table, it is important to find one that suits your style and budget. Here is what to look for when you're shopping for a cocktail table.
How to Set the Dinner Table
Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served. Casual dinner table settings provide each person with the three basic pieces of silverware while formal dinner table settings provide guests with a separate piece of silverware for each course served. Plates, bowls, silverware, napkins and glasses are all part of the necessary dinnerware for setting the table. Having separate dinnerware sets for both formal and casual dining events is very helpful for setting the table appropriately.

RATINGS: 1116 WEIGHTED AVG: 2.49 SEASONAL: Winter EST. CALORIES: 177 ABV: 5.9%
Samuel Adams® Cranberry Lambic is a fruit beer that draws its flavor not just from the cranberries it is brewed with, but also from the unique fermentation character imparted by the rare wild yeast strain. The result is a flavor rich in fruitiness and reminiscent of cranberries and bananas, cloves and nutmeg. The yeast fermentation also will create a slight sourness on the sides of the palate, a signature of the original Lambic style which, with the subtle cereal note from the wheat malt, remind its drinker that, as fruity a beer as this is, it is still a beer.

Insurance you don't know about: Rental Car Protection
Our trip would have been perfect if it wasn't for that car accident…
Travelling and surprises go hand-in-hand and if all surprises were pleasant, life would be perfect. Renting a car for a long weekend trip with friends is a common norm in North America and who is to deny mishaps happen with the best of us. It is unfortunate and sad when they do, but driving in a new city or territory can be more distracting than hearing your popular music band playing on the radio on a dull and boring Monday morning drive to work. Often you conveniently assume your credit card covers car accident insurance, until the day you're in an accident and discover otherwise. That's why today I want to dig deeper into Rental Car Protection offered by credit cards and reveal some important things that will help you the next time you're considering a car rental service.
Where can I find it?
According to data from InsurEye's Credit Card Navigator there are almost 80 credit cards in Canada which are 'armed' with the Rental Car Protection feature. You can check for free if your card has such a perk using InsurEye Credit Card Navigator at http://insureye.com/insurance_toolkit Giving the fact that an average Canadian has over 3 credit cards, the chances of you already having such a protection are quite high!
Credit card rental car protection: what is actually covered:
There are four main things to consider while using a rental car insurance offered by your credit card:
1. Many risks are not covered: Most of these cards protect you only in case of collision damage. None of the cards covers your LIABILITY (i.e. damages to the 3rd party) or BODILY INJURIES. It means that if you drive into other person's house, you'll have to pay all the damages from your own pocket. The same about medical treatment, if it is not covered by the government health plans.
2. Not all vehicles are covered: In case you want to protect any 'fun'/exotic vehicles, the coverage is very disappointing: This type of insurance doesn't cover such vehicles as motorbikes, snowmobiles, ATV, off-road vehicles etc. Be extra-careful with mini-vans: they are covered only as long as you use them for people transport and not as a cargo vehicle – so, no coverage during moving from your old place.
3. Beware of sports and luxury cars: Rental car protection insurance does not like expensive vehicles either: Usually the cut-off is at $65,000 and only some AmEx cards have $85,000 limit. So, no coverage in case you crash a Ferrari during a fun weekend!
4. Place and time: Always pay special attention to the duration for which you are renting the vehicle. Couple of weeks is normally not an issue but most cards will not cover more than 31-48 days of rental in a row. Also location abroad is important – most cards will have no problem with U.S. but many might have issues with paying for accidents in Europe or Asia – you will need to check that in advance. At the risk of stating the obvious, the most important thing: Do not to forget to pay for the rental car with a credit card that has the protection: you will need a confirmation that the rental fee was charged exactly to this card.
Alternatives to increase your protection
If you feel that you need more protection than your credit card offers or you do not want to spend $15-20 per day for a collision damage waiver offered by a rental agency, there is a better alternative. It is called your own car insurance. Many providers offer so called additional pieces of protection (insurance jargon: riders) which will also protect your rental car. That may cost you only additional $30 per year on top of your usual premiums. An informative video from MoneySense with Duncan Hood offers more information on this topic. Choosing the right protection is quintessential. Our suggestion would be to rely on one that always covers the critical three aspects: Damages, Injuries and 3rd Party Liability. Typically, you will have this protection while driving your own car. Why should it be different for the rental vehicle? Have a safe road trip!

spinal fusion anyone?
I am scheduled for back surgery Sept 1. I will have L4, L5, and S1 fused and also laminescomy. I am resigned to the fact that I have to have this done to get pain relief, but what I am wondering from any of you, is what the recovery will be like. Such as what do I need at home that will make things easier - the surgeon mentioned to have a walker at home. I am wondering about sitting and sleeping - what others have found the most comfortable. Any info or comments would be very much appreciated.
Will you be in a brace? I have had all the vertebrae from my sacrum up to my lower ribs fused. I was in a brace for six months. My surgeon warned me NOT to use a walker because it would encourage me to bend forward and that would be the way I would heal. I was allowed to walk, or lie down. He did not want me sitting except on flat hard chair. No sagging soft chairs or couch. You want your spine to be as straight as possible as the fusions take.
I should have added that I healed beautifully and no one can tell that anything was changed. I sincerely believe that it was his advice to keep my back as straight as possible for the entire six months was what worked. I know one woman that had hers done about the same time. She sat a lot and while she no longer has pain, when she stands, she looks as bent as she did when she was sitting.
Frog, thanks so much for your info. I'm really looking for this kind of information so I can make a list of things to ask the week before I go into surgery. I will be sure to ask him if I will have a brace and also about not using a walker. It makes sense that you should sit in a straight chair rather than a soft chair or recliner, etc.
These are good things for me to bring up. Also glad to hear that you healed so well. Thanks again, Jeanie
I kept an old cheap walker by the bed. It helped me to get out of bed without putting a strain on my back muscles. I also used it to pull myself up from the toilet. But I didn't walk with it. You may not need a brace. I have an extra vertabra in my spine and that meant I had more to fuse. Also, I was already rather crooked because of scoliosis and I needed to get that straightened out.
Seamer1, thanks for replying. How long ago did your husband have his surgery? How is he doing now? Also, after coming home to recuperate, what was comfortable for him as far as sitting (straight hard chair, recliner, soft chair, etc?) and sleeping? Thanks, Jeanie
Jeanie, I forgot to mention....the pain that you have been having will most likely be completly gone. You will be comfortable just about anywhere. It will surprise you!! The big problem is to be careful and not mess up the fusions by sitting in positions that allow your butt to sink, as in a recliner, soft chair, etc. Walking is the ideal exercise. I was supposed to walk three miles a day. I'm too lazy for that.
My husband had spinal fusion done 2 years ago (August 20). I would recommend getting a toilet seat riser. It will add about 3-4" in height. It will be much easier for you to get up from. Also PLEASE get shower rails installed in your tub area. It will be much easier to get in and out of the shower. You may also want a seat to put in the shower. My husband found these to be the most useful in his healing. He did very well from the surgery but did get a staph infection and was readmitted for surgery to clean it out. Luckily it was not in the incision from the back but from where they took a part of his hip for a donor bone. He is doing remarkably well from the surgery now. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
Hello Susan and all,
My surgery went very well. It was to have been 2 1/2 hours, but took about 4 as he had found more to repair than he expected. My legs were pain free from the moment I woke up, and needless to say, I am just thrilled. I have three grown daughters that live close so they have been taking turns staying with me. I had 2 really sick days a couple of days after I came home, I guess a reaction to all the narcotic drugs, but since then every day gets better. I try to walk a little more each day. My back, of course, is still very uncomforable when sitting and laying and have to keep trying to find the "just right" position. But it is not painful. Any questions, please let me know. Susan, I appeciate your asking how I am doing? Thanks, Jeanie
That's great!!! I knew you would be surprised to find that the leg pain was gone when you woke up. Now, behave yourself and watch your posture....OK?? Anesthesia makes a lot of people feel like the bottom of the garbage can so as soon as that gets all out of your system, you will feel better.
I'm trying to decide between an artificial disc and a spinal fusion. Any opinions? Thanks.
bop62, what is going on with your spine? Are you a candidate for an artificial disc? The problems in my spine did not give me the option of artificial discs. (As a sidenote, though, my neurosurgeon was one of the doctors that developed the artificial disc.)
On problem is that some people have bones that are simply not in good shape. The fusions don't knit well, the artificial discs don't set in well either because the surounding bone are not strong enough. Sometimes it takes both fusion and rods to give proper support.
Bop....you need to start a new thread. This one is old post from Aug.2005 and the original poster is getting a copy of all the answers to your questions in his/her email.
Good luck on whatever you decide. Follow your doctor's advice.
I, too, am having difficulty deciding on spinal fusion surgery. I have a lot of pain when I sit to do anything, and since physical therapy for over two years hasn't helped at all, three orthopedic spine specialists recommend a fusion for me at L5S1. Any suggestions before I opt for surgery? Thank you for your comments.
bop62, before I had my fusion (which were L4, L5, S1) I had a spinal epideral. This only lasted for me for about a month and it was decided with what was going on with me, trying it again was just not worth it.
It has been just over a year since I had my fusion and also a laminectomy and I am pleased. The terrible pain in my legs and feet are gone. Some pain remained in my lower back even after about 9 months, so they gave me an injection thru my tailbone and now am pain=free. My back does still get sore and tired if I overdue or stand too long, but that is a small price to pay for the pain I had been going thru for several years before the surgery.
One thing I would do for sure, if you decided on surgery, do a lot of talking with others about the surgeon you choose.
I would like to start a new thread and ask questions, but I don't know how to do it. I am the guy with the degenerated disc at L5S1. I don't know if I'm a candidate for artificial disc or not, but the choice is not available to me anyway. So it's either a spinal fusion or continued pain. Pain is not enough to make me cry or anything, but sitting or reclining hurts, so whenever I read, write, eat, etc., I'm in pain. I'm leaning very heavily towards the fusion. I have an excellent spine specialist to operate. Physical therapy for over two years has not helped. Anything else I should consider? Thanks!
Bop, beneath the advertisement at the top of the page it says
"Post a Message". All you have to do is click on that and it will take you to a place to make your own thread. It's very simple.
I'm seeing a surgeon on 12/11 for bad discs and spinal spinosis. I'm pretty worried about it but also want to be rid of the pain. Good luck to you with your surgery. Let us know how you feel.
Bop, I also had spinal stenosis along with the bad discs. Sounds like you have a surgeon you trust, so I would trust his judgement on the epidurals. Keep us updated.
Nancy, good luck with your surgery...I had L4, L5, and S1 fused and a laminectomy for the spinal stenosis. I was worried about it also but was so tired of living with the pain. I'm so glad I finally had the surgery. Keep us posted on your progress also.
Spinal Fusion? I have a herinated disc L4/L5 will possible herination at L3/L4, tried steriod shots and they didn't work, physically therapy, traction etc... My next step is to do a discogram and then decide if it want to do surgery. I am scared to deatht to do this. Can anyone give me any information on procedure and recovery time. Thanks
Did you ever have your surgery? Doctor's are telling me I will need three level spine fusion with rods, and screws Plus a cage in the front. I am soooo scared
What type of surgery did you have? How much pain did you have after the surgery? How long were you in the hospital? How long did it take you to rehab back to "normal"?

While the iconic Haleakalā silversword plant made a strong recovery from early 20th-century threats, it has now entered a period of substantial climate-related decline. New research published this week warns that global warming may have severe consequences for the silversword in its native habitat.
Known for its striking rosette, the silversword grows for 20-90 years before the single reproductive event at the end of its life, at which time it produces a large (up to six feet tall) inflorescence with as many as 600 flower heads. The plant was in jeopardy in the early 1900s due to animals eating the plants and visitors gathering them. With successful management, including legal protection and the physical exclusion of hoofed animals, the species made a strong recovery, but since the mid-1990s it has entered a period of substantial decline. A strong association of annual population growth rates with patterns of precipitation suggests the plants are undergoing increasingly frequent and lethal water stress. Local climate data confirm trends towards warmer and drier conditions on the mountain, which the researchers warn will create a bleak outlook for the threatened silverswords if climate trends continue.
"The silversword example foreshadows trouble for diversity in other biological hotspots," said Dr. Paul Krushelnycky, a biologist with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, and principal investigator for the project, "and it also illustrates how even well-protected and relatively abundant species may succumb to climate-induced stresses."
"The silversword is an amazing story of selective biological adaptation of this distant cousin of the daisy to the high winds and sometimes freezing temperatures on the high slopes and thin soils of Haleakalā volcano," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "Despite the successful efforts of the National Park Service to protect this very special plant from local disturbance from humans and introduced species, we now fear that these actions alone may be insufficient to secure this plant's future. No part of our planet is immune from the impacts of climate change."
The Haleakalā silversword (Argyroxyphium sandwicense macrocephalum) grows only on a single volcano summit in Hawaiʻi, yet it is viewed by 1 million visitors annually at Haleakalā National Park. Although the decline and extinction of other rare species with small ranges (and the accompanying loss of biodiversity) can easily go unobserved and unappreciated, the silversword's high profile makes it a good example with which to educate the public about global climate change.
Krushelnycky co-authored the paper along with Lloyd Loope, scientist emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey, and others at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, and University of Arizona. They explain that although climate change is predicted to place mountaintop and other narrowly endemic species such as the silversword at severe risk of extinction, the ecological processes involved in such extinctions are still poorly understood, and they are hoping to increase this understanding.

Originally written on Inside the Hall | Last updated 11/17/14
Alabama native says Bloomington is his home By Justin Albers Christian Watford's path to Indiana wasn't at all similar to that of the two guys who will be honored with him at Tuesday's Senior Night at Assembly Hall. Unlike Jordan Hulls and Derek Elston, Watford didn't grow up in the state. He joined the Hoosiers from Birmingham, Ala. and wasn't a household name when he stepped on campus for the first time. So when Indiana struggled through the first two years of Watford's career, there wasn't as much pressure for him to stay. It was unlike the situation of Hulls and Elston, who would be abandoning their state school if they bolted during the program's turmoil. Watford could have transferred. Other out-of-state recruits did. And he admits now that the thought crossed his mind at some point. But Watford didn't leave. Despite the external pressure to do so and the occasional questions from his family, Watford decided to stick it out. He and his family believed in the process. "Well, it...

Do the Capitals need to make a change?
Nov 19, 2011, 10:25 PM EDT
To some, the Washington Capitals' embarrassing 7-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs is a cause for panic or at least serious confusion. It's almost as if the hockey world forgot about the dreadful losing streak that coincided with the taping of HBO's 24/7 series in 2010-11, although the Capitals seem to be under a harsher spotlight with each passing season.
So the big question is: should GM George McPhee pull the trigger on some sort of "big decision" before the Capitals take on the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday? Let's take a look at some ideas.
Fire the coach: Should they give bellicose Bruce Boudreau the boot? My answer is an emphatic "No." For every decision that gets second-guessed, the team keeps winning the Southeast Division and his bold moves have worked out fairly well in the big picture. (Katie Carrera reports that McPhee said no comment when asked for a vote of confidence regarding Boudreau's job security … take that whichever way you'd like.)
Plead with Mike Green to come back soon: For all the criticism that Green receives, the Capitals clearly miss him as an offensive catalyst. The team is now 2-7-1 with Green out of the lineup in 2011-12.
Lean on Neuvirth: Tomas Vokoun's production is a bit down compared to his high-end individual numbers, but Michal Neuvirth has a 3.46 GAA and .877 save percentage in seven games played this season. So another big "No."
Make a trade: Now this is an interesting idea, but McPhee shouldn't make a trade for the sake of shaking things up. The Capitals have a ton of guys in the last year of their deals including Green, Vokoun, Dennis Wideman, Mike Knuble and … Alexander Semin. If McPhee could somehow land a good second line center or fill another need, then maybe he should pull the trigger.
Overall, I think it pays to be patient. If a change is necessary, then I'd recommend a mid-level trade, though.
- rainyday56 - Nov 20, 2011 at 3:21 AM
Why show a picture of Karl Alzner for this article? Is it because he was +1 in that debacle last night and is the only one on that team that is marketable for a trade right now? Probably.
- dipthatchip - Nov 20, 2011 at 1:15 PM
if Karl Alzner is traded, I'm switching teams. Dude can honestly do no wrong and gets no respect
- danphipps01 - Nov 20, 2011 at 3:39 AM
Seriously, they dangled a great bloody "Come score on us" sign over their net just to taunt them and the Capitals STILL couldn't get more than one goal. What the hell?
- gbiscottagecheesefatties - Nov 20, 2011 at 2:32 PM
I think they would be dumb not to make a trade (Wash) move one of the bid names, Semin, Backstrom, Green, maybe even Ovi. I don't think there would ever be a market for ovechkin seeing as how much it would take to trade for him and his current contract but somethings gotta give. It's not time to panic but it is time to be worried. Not a fan of Wash but I do enjoy watching them play.
- gopokes3281 - Nov 20, 2011 at 3:11 PM
Trade Backstrom?? You're crazy. He is the best player on the team…
- gbiscottagecheesefatties - Nov 20, 2011 at 3:13 PM
I'm not saying he isn't or they should… just something has to give.
- gopokes3281 - Nov 21, 2011 at 4:55 AM
Understandable. I agree that we should be a little worried. We have a ton of potential and showed it in the first 7, but it seems like these guys aren't being motivated Boudreau. I hate it when teams fire coaches mid-season because of the adjustment period, but if we don't get to the finals with this talent, he needs to go. It would also be nice to have a Top 6 forward that is a strong leader. Nothing against Ovi but his numbers dropped when he got the "C". You can't take the captaincy from a superstar player without causing internal drama or a media explosion. If you could though, I would suggest giving it to Brooks.

Bob Vila's Guide to Surviving the Winter
Snow loads, driving winds, and temperatures below freezing are only some of the cold season's challenges. For the integrity of your house and your personal comfort (not to mention sanity), winterizing your home is not only the prudent thing to do but a downright necessity. So what does actually mean to winterize? The answer depends on your geographical location and the age of your house, particularly that of crucial elements, such as the windows and furnace. And like so many other responsibilities of homeownership, winterizing your home of course partly involves common sense.

Home Warranty Exposé, a new one this week
Home Court Advantage: How the Building Industry Uses Forced Arbitration to Evade Accountability. http://www.fairarbitrationnow.org/content/home-court-advantage-how-building-industry-uses-forced-arbitration-evade-accountability
This came out this week from Public Citizen. Because I heavily used info from consumer org's during my construction defect case, I became aware of some pitfalls of arbitration in time. Long story short, I avoided it. In networking with others I saw how devastating it was to get ripped again in arbitration for those who weren't so lucky. IMO home warranties are not worth the paper they're printed on. Something to think about if your builder is using them. You might want to consider declining it. And don't agree to arbitration in the builder's contract either of course.
SAD... looks like arbitration--a once honest process I have seen used to expeditious effect for both parties in the high-tech industry--has become yet another casualty of the housing bubble SCAM-O-RAMA!
It's a dirty risky biz, homebuilding is, even moreso when the internationalist Wall St. SUPER-criminal oligarchs get their hands in it. GRRrRrr...
Of course the positive examples I'm thinking of are 2 or more similar-sized high-tech companies, or a company vs. a venture cap firm, and NOT a huge company like KB Homes vs. the individual consumer.
Thanks for posting that link. Makes it easy to see where the vested interests lie. GRRrrr...
PS: How much fewer warranty claims would there be if "undocumented" labor was not used to build these homes????

I was toying around with getting into brewing my own espresso. Then something pushed me over the edge.
I've been doing a fair bit of research and found a great site: www.coffeegeek.com
The site has reviews of machines, grinders, etc.
I did my research and had settled on a good beginner machine: the Starbucks Barista made by Saeco. It got very good reviews on that site and came highly recommended as a good first machine. They retail for around $449.
I walked into Starbucks and they WERE ON CLEARANCE for $99! I asked for one and the guy told me they only had the demo left. I stopped at another Starbucks on the way home and they only had the demo left. I got home and immediately started calling around. NOTHING! I spoke to a very helpful manager who called some friends who were managers and she said they were all gone in this area. She told me to go back and get one of the demos, which I did. I got the dark graphite colored one.
They took an extra 10% off and threw in free espresso pods (I'm not a big fan of their coffee - overly bitter - but free works.)
Long story short, I got a new espresso machine for $95 total. If you've been considering it, get in on this deal now while you still can! Good luck!
Nice score.
Here's one of mine.
VERY nice! I've heard of the built in ones.
You're gonna love it Orpheus. Espresso & cappuccino that is much better than what Starbucks serves, for a fraction of the price.
I think you'll find the pods disappointing, by the time they get the coffee ground and ensconsed in paper, there is no way it can be fresh. Find a local provider where you can buy small quantities of freshly roasted beans and a nice burr grinder. I keep a handful of decaf pods around for "those" people...

Erik Nieminen's (Un)Altered RealityIllustration // Thursday, June 20, 2013
Capturing the world as seen through distorted reflections or layered panes of glass, artist Erik Nieminen 'presents an independent reality, a world that is dependent on our real world yet separate from it. It is a world that exists on its own terms.' These uncanny vignettes are ones we encounter daily as we walk down the street catching glimpses of the urban landscape reconfigured, but isolated in Nieminen's paintings the effect is at once familiar and alienating.
