shoes worth buying! Love!
I had been searching everywhere for some strappy sandals that didn't have a very tall heel. Most shoes like these were 4 inches tall! These ones are perfect! The heel height is great so your feet don't get as tired too quickly. I want to buy another pair in a different color.
GREAT SHOES / Navy is almost black
I LOVE these shoes. I bought the neutral and navy a couple of summers ago. They have held up well with the exception of me replaing a heel cap here and there from bad concrete. My only complaint is the Navy now is much darker than the one I got a couple of summers ago. It took me a long time to see the difference between the navy and the black ones I ordered.
Houston, TX
Perfect Sandals
Love these Sandals. I purchased four colors and I wear them with dresses, dress pants and with jeans! I love the heel height my feet are never stressed!
San Diego, CA
This was the perfect sandal. It is high enough to be dressy and classy, but still comfortable. (I was on my feet a good bit and even moving some tables and chairs and was fine in these) The nude color is a perfect neutral for spring and I think I may need this shoe in every color. Highly recommended. (Sizing is true.)
too narrow
Shoes are cute but the band is very high on the toes and too tight. Going back. No wides available.
Phila, PA
My Favorites
I've been buying these from Chadwicks for years now; I have multiple pairs in at least four colors. The important things to know are (I'm an 8.5) that they are comfortable even to walk in, they go with everything, my foot does not slide around, my toes are very comfortable in the toe strap, the buckle doesn't jut up against my skin (that would kill me), and they are fairly sturdy shoes (not too flexible/wimpy, and also the liner and straps don't fall apart). I really cannot recommend these enough.
Phoenix, AZ
Narrow shoe!
I bought a couple of pairs of these sandals, couldn't even get my toes in them, and I ordered a size larger than I usually wear. Too narrow! So I returned them.
San Antonio, TX
This strappy sandal ROCKS!!!
When the description stated that you will want a pair in every color...that was no joke! I already have two more colors in my shopping cart and may add a third. These sandals are very impressive...great quality too. Super cute and extra comfy. They are the perfect height for all day wear and could be dressed up or down. I had not ordered from Chadwicks in years but so glad I thought about your company recently when in search of new sandals. I am more than pleased with my purchase. Peace&Love!
San Antonio, Texas
Cute & Comfortable
These are the cutest, comfortable shoes. I can't normally wear high heels for very long and I wore these to two weddings and danced all night!
Ballwin, MO
Great Summer Shoe
I love these shoes! I was afraid they would be uncomfortable, but they very comfortable. The heel height is just right and so stylish. I initially bought two colors and was so pleased I ordered two more colors. I would recommend these to everyone.
Savannah, GA
These have style, and they have comfort!I've bought six pairs, and am thinking of buying more to hoard them! FABULOUS!!!!!

palm beach, florida
Gorgeous shoes
These shoes are absolutely beautiful! I bought them in nude and silver and I can't wait for the warmer weather to wear them! They are the PERFECT HEIGHT! I plan to purchase all the colors!!
York, Pa
Just perfect!
These are the most versatile, comfortable heels I have. I can wear them 12-15 hrs no problem. Wish they were still in the 3 3/4" heel so I could buy more! Please bring those back! Perfect shoe to wear with anything & several colors to choose from.
Thomasville, NC
The ideal summer shoe
When I find a great shoe, I buy in every color I need. This IS THE summer shoe, Ladies! I love the nude. It's such a great color, and so versatile and sexy! I also bought the white, navy and black. They are cute, comfortable, and easy to walk and dance in. With the ankle strap, my foot (7.5 M) feels very secure and the toe strap is just snug enough, too. While not the best quality, they are a good deal, and I expect them to last at least one season. Please don't stop making them!
Fresno, CA
Comfy, Cute, but Cheap
These shoes are the perfect height, are very comfortable, and look great. The price is right too. However, like most shoes with a buckle, I just slide them on instead of undoing the buckle. Unfortunately one shoes strap split at the seam on the left side (opposite the buckle). I was able fix it, since it was my own fault for not "un-buckling" them first, but now I just am VERY careful when sliding them on. I would consider another pair of these, now knowing they are a bit more cheaply made.
Columbia, SC
Great Shoe
I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!! I bought 2 pairs last summer and love them. They are so comfortable!! I am now buying 2 more pairs!!

Date of death: 12-11-2003

Keep on sharing memories of Jonathan Brandis.
an American film and television actor
an American film and television actor
Tribute created by:
Katie Murphy
As with many girls, Jonathan was my first real crush and was the one to really begin my romantic journey. He was also an incredibly gifted actor, and it was bewildering to me that his career did not continue to flourish. It is not surprising that, like so many creative and talented people, Jonathan was hard on himself, but it is tragic that he felt so low and saw no other alternative but to end his life. My heart goes out to his family, and I am distraught at the idea that he was alone with his pain. Please, if you know anyone in a similar situation, DO NOT FAIL TO ACT! Don't deprive the world of another beautiful soul like Jonathan's.
Jon rest in peace:)you will always stay in my heart.You was the perfect actor good looking cute and loveable:)I made our dreams come true.I swam with the dolphin:)i want to go to yancover sailing down the pacific like you did in the movie Two came back...I am having all your movies pictures:)I love you always and fever
You were the best actor on the whole world for me. I was so sad when I found out what happened. I never met you and I'm sad about that too. After I found out what happened I was depressed for a week. I was thinking about a suicide myself too, but It's easy to say, and when I was on the roof I just couldn't prepare myself to jump. In anyway... I WILL MISS YOU FOREVER AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!
I saw a movie the other day and you where in it. You said help me. My heart sank I wish you could have done that before you did what you did. My heart cries for you. I watched you grow up on tv and now I can't see you anymore. I can only hope I will see you in heaven. I just wish you knew how much you where loved and are loved by so many people. Many like me who you never would have meet. But loved you still. I am not angry at you for what you did I just wish I could have stopped you or wish one of your friends could have stopped you. I know they do to. I love you and cya in heave Jonathan.
Brenda -
neverending story 2 started my first real crush even though i was soooo young..xxx
oh how i miss you. i know part of you lived on and maybe one day i will be able to accept her. but i still hurt. your father showed me her pictures. she reminds me of you. i still don't understand why you had to do what you did but i forgive you.
3 years, 2 months
the reason i asked is because jon aksed me to ask you, also he is ok and he is also very sorry for what he did,especially to you guys, he`s not in pain anymore, but he is still hard on himself a lot.sometimes i can`t talk to him, i even asked why he hung himself, but he gets mad and walks away from me.i don`t know why i am able to contact with him much less see him, but he`s not the first ghost i`ve had in my life.he does seem very loving and protective over you and his dad, he did not want me telling all this, but i felt i had to let you know, mary, that your son jon is ok, and he`s happy.He wants to know if he is a father to the girl you were talking about.
I grew up with Jonathan in Reseda, CA. We use to ride bikes and skateboards together in the condo complex we lived on off of Tampa Ave.
One day he came home and told me he just filmed or auditioned for a commercial for "Mad Balls". thought he was the luckiest kid back then..
I had the biggest crush on Jonathan when I was younger. Those amazing blue eyes and smile of his couldn't be beat. He was a wonderful actor and seemed like a really nice guy. It is soo sad to know that he was in so much pain. I wish he had gotten the help he needed.A lot of people cared about him including me. I hope that he has found peace now and may God bless him, his family, friends and fans. We will never forget you Jonathan. You will always be in our hearts. <3
Jonathan Brandis had my heart when I first set eyes on him in "Ladybugs" . He was a very talented youngman and I am very sad and disappointed in how his life has ended. What is weird about it is my husband looks a lot like him and his birthday is November 12. Maybe they were siamese twins.. Anyhow he will be greatly missed! God loves u and Jonathan is in heaven now. May he rest with the angels:)

Tigers face tough task in Indians' Salazar
Righty has overpowering fastball; Verlander starts for Detroit
On Thursday, the Tigers will face likely the hardest-throwing starter they have seen so far this season in the Indians' Danny Salazar.
If the Tigers' performance against the other flamethrower they've gone up against is any indication, it could be a long day for the Detroit bats.
Last Friday in San Diego, Andrew Cashner silenced the Tigers, allowing only one hit in a shutout. Cashner struck out 11 in the 6-0 Padres win.
"If you think you have a player that has a little bit of trouble catching up to velocity in the zone, you might rest him," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said of his strategy in constructing a lineup against Salazar. "But you can't rest everybody."
Cashner's fastball topped out at about 98 mph in that game, whereas Salazar averaged 96 mph on his heater last season. After allowing two runs in his first start of the season against Minnesota, Salazar was roughed up by the White Sox last week for five runs in 3 2/3 innings.
Last year, Salazar's rookie season, was extremely promising. He struck out 65 batters in 52 innings on his way to a 3.12 ERA.
"I think we have to remember that he's got like 10 Major League starts. It's easy to forget, because he had such a meteoric rise and he pitched in the playoff game," said Indians manager Terry Francona. "He's still a young pitcher that's learning, but there's a lot to like. He embraces challenges, which we really like. Sometimes, in an imperfect world, getting guys to just enjoy or embrace the challenge, if they have the talent we think they do, they'll be OK."
Fortunately for Detroit, in the event that the offense can't get going, it will be ace Justin Verlander on the mound to keep the Indians' bats in check. In five starts against Cleveland last season, Verlander went 3-1 with 3.38 ERA.
"They kind of beat us up a little bit last year," Francona said, referring to the Tigers' 15-4 record against the Indians in 2013. "For us to get where we want to go, certainly beating them would help. You've got to beat everybody, but they kind of had their way with us last year. They did what good teams do. They beat you up sometimes. They win some close ones. And in the other games, they found a way to win those, too. That's what a good team does."
Worth noting
• Michael Bourn made his season debut for the Indians on Wednesday night after missing the first 13 games with a strained left hamstring. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, a walk and a run scored.
• Since the start of the 2009 season, the Indians are 12-34 at Comerica Park after their 3-2 win Wednesday.
• Rajai Davis had his seven-game hitting streak snapped Wednesday. In the eighth inning, he reached base when Cleveland second baseman Jason Kipnis dropped a fly ball in shallow right field, but the official scorer determined it was an error.

Need help using this site? Here are some answers to common support questions.
We have designed the site to enhance access to and assessment of article content and data as quickly as possible.
Navigate the corpus
Content discovery can be laborious without robust tools to create a refined list of relevant articles customized for your changing needs. We provide three components to assist you in this process: search filters, abstract and figure previews, and custom saved search.
We offer search filters for users to drill down into preliminary results and glean a more precise selection. On the results page, you can create filters based on a set of facets and sub-facets to further refine the search. Users can toggle back and forth between results by adding and clearing filters. We currently offer the following filters:
While the default view of search results is in list form, they can also be displayed as "figures." With this setting, each article tile showcases a representative image, along with general information such as title, date published, author listing, etc. Without leaving their search results, users can immediately preview the article by screening its abstract and complete set of figures or directly download the PDF.
Once you have created a search on exact fields of interest, stay up-to-date with automatic notifications of the latest content that matches your request: email and RSS feed. Users can directly subscribe to that particular RSS feed. Or they can log in and save the search for email notifications.
Navigate the article
We designed the layout and functionality of our articles to help users quickly navigate the article across each of its components.
We offer at-a-glance Metrics Signposts at the top of every article to further support content discovery. These numbers offer an up-to-date glimpse of the article's reach since publication. This data can inform your browsing experience and enable swift navigation based on the impact profile of interest. We display a varied selection of metrics versatile to serve a variety of browsing modes, whether you are interested in a highly cited paper, highly shared paper, etc.
Metrics Signposts are made up of a sub-set of ALM data. For a more comprehensive view of article reach and impact, please use the full ALM suite of impact indicators displayed on the article Metrics tab.
We display additional content for each article across article tabs, making it easy to see and use. Users can navigate to the article's companion information:
As you scroll down the article page, the article navigation links to the left of the main article text float down the screen, and indicate which section of the article you're currently viewing. Clicking these links will jump you directly to the relevant article section.
We are aware of problems with the display of some special characters and symbols within the articles on some browsers. To ensure you are seeing all special characters and symbols correctly, please look at the PDF version of the article.

The 'bookmarklet' icons in the right-hand column of every article allow users to save and share links to articles via a number of popular "social bookmarking" services such as Reddit, Google+, Stumble Upon, Facebook, Connotea, and CiteULike.
The "Metrics" tab on each article provides information on online article usage, citations to the article, and other indicators of impact. The regularly updated data fall into the following categories:
These are described in full on the journal ALM page.
Online "Article Usage" data, as recorded at PLOS sites, are available for all PLOS journals for all articles published from June 17, 2005 to present. The understanding of these data is not straightforward, and so we have provided detailed (technical) information and summary data tables. Newly published articles do not accumulate usage data instantaneously but require approximately 48 hours before data are shown.
PubMed Central (PMC) usage data for each article was introduced in January of 2010, and PLOS started displaying this data from Jan 2012. PMC counts the number of page views and PDF downloads of the article on their site. PMC sends their usage data to us once a month. As a result, articles may experience a lag with the display of PMC data (up to a month's time). The total article usage data is an aggregate of PLOS and PMC usage, combined.
These sources have their own limitations and in addition, results may overlap between sources. Read more detailed information about article usage data.
Citations to the article are gathered from several sources including PubMed Central, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and CrossRef.
These sources have their own limitations and in addition, results may overlap between sources. Read more detailed information about article citation metrics.
Other indicators of the impact of the article include:
More information about each of these indicators and their limitations can be found on our Article-Level Metrics Information page.
Please note that, excluding PLOS article usage and PLOS reader evaluation, the data reported is automatically generated via information supplied by each service. PLOS is not responsible (nor able to correct) any errors which originate with the third party concerned.
The "Related Content" tab on each article provides links (and information) to additional content which may be related to this article.
The tab provides links to:
Provides links to blog posts citing each PLOS article via a number of blog aggregation services: ResearchBlogging and Nature Blogs.* A link is also provided to blog posts that have linked to the article via a trackback.
*Please note that the above information is automatically generated via information supplied by each service. PLOS is not responsible (nor able to correct) any errors which originate with the third party concerned.
The "Subject Areas" panel on each article page displays a set of terms selected for that article based on its content. The Subject Areas belong to a thesaurus of over 10,000 terms initially built for us over the course of 2012 by Access Innovations (http://www.accessinn.com/), taking into account the controlled vocabulary of classification terms that had been in use in PLOS Editorial Manager. The entire corpus of PLOS articles was analysed to ensure that the thesaurus covers the research domain comprehensively.
Specific terms are associated with articles by Machine Aided Indexing (MAI) which identifies text strings in the articles and matches them to Subject Area terms from the thesaurus. The output ranks the matches in order of frequency of hits within the text of the article and the top eight terms are selected for display. Whereas previously the eight terms were presented in alphabetical order, we are introducing weightings to the Subject Area panel, such that the order of Subject Areas will reflect the frequency of hits in the MAI process. This new presentation will be introduced progressively, beginning with the main Article tab.
The MAI process uses a Rulebase to guide Subject Area selection. Whereas identifying a phrase such as "Retinitis pigmentosa" is relatively straightforward for software, the issue is more complex for a word such as "Sodium" where the relevant Subject Area might be "Voltage-gated sodium channels", any of several sodium compounds or even just "Sodium" the element. The rule for terms such as "Sodium" are therefore compound and include conditional statements to disambiguate these different contexts. While the vast majority of terms are effectively indexed there remain ambiguities for some terms and part of our work is to continue to identify these cases and modify the Rulebase accordingly.
The Subject Area terms are related to each other with a system of broader/narrower term relationships. The thesaurus structure is a polyhierarchy, so for example the Subject Area "White blood cells" has two broader terms "Blood cells" and "Immune cells". At its deepest the hierarchy is ten tiers deep, with all terms tracking back to one or more of the top tier Subject Areas, such as "Biology and life sciences" or "Social sciences".
The Subject Area terms can be used to filter PLOS content via the Subject-specific option in Advanced Search. The MAI Rulebase accommodates synonyms, so a Subject-specific Search for "Highly active antiretroviral therapy" will retrieve articles based on MAI matches to "HAART" (a known synonym) as well as "Highly active antiretroviral therapy" in one step. Additionally, because we select the most frequently MAI-indexed Subject Areas for each article the Search returns articles where the Subject Area in question ranks highly enough to be included in the top eight MAI-retrieved terms, so is of relatively high significance, whereas a query term in an "All fields" search will return every article that contains even a single match to the query term.
The hierarchical nature of the thesaurus also enhances article retrieval in Search. Not only does Search retrieve all articles specifically indexed by MAI with the query Subject Area term in question, but it also retrieves all articles specifically indexed with any Subject Area term that sits deeper into the hierarchy than the query Subject Area term, but on the same broader/narrower term path. Thus, in the "White blood cells" example, queries for either "Blood cells" or "Immune cells" will return all articles indexed with "White blood cells".
The Subject Area terms on all article pages are hyperlinked and following the link returns a listing of all articles to which that Subject Area term applies. Subject Area terms can also be used as the basis for Saved Searches, RSS feeds and PLOS ONE customized Journal Alerts.
The content of the PLOS thesaurus and the Rulebase that governs the application of Subject Areas to the articles is constantly under review. We incorporate analysis of the Subject Area panel "feedback" clicks into this review process, and are always happy to receive specific input on Subject Area terms and their application by email. We update the thesaurus behind the PLOS sites several times each year. Files corresponding to the current version (as well as previous versions) can be downloaded here.
Questions and comments about Subject Areas and the PLOS thesaurus can be sent to email@example.com linking your ORCID digital identifier to your PLOS account you can easily be distinguished from other researchers. When you integrate your ORCiD in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, automated linkages occur between you and your professional activities, ensuring that your work is recognized.

The Tragedy of King Richard the Third was acted on stages in Vermont last year.
The history of King Richard III achieved a remarkable coda in recent days in Leicester, England, when the skeletal remains of the actual Richard were discovered buried beneath a parking lot.
Richard III died in the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 after a brief bloody reign that was the culmination of the long dynastic struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster, known as the War of the Roses. He was succeeded by Henry, the earl of Richmond, who became Henry VII, the first of the Tudor monarchs who included Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
The discovery of Richards remains is a bracing reminder that the story told in Shakespeares Richard III was based on an actual Richard III. The whereabouts of his grave were unknown during these many centuries, though a historian writing shortly after his death had written Richard had been buried in the corner of a priory in Leicester. Other accounts said the crowd had thrown his body into the nearby river.
The remains uncovered in Leicester have been identified by DNA linking two living Englishmen to Anne of York, Richards sister, 16 generations ago. Tellingly, the remains also display a distinct curvature of the spine, which would account for the depiction by Shakespeare of Richard as a deformed and hideous hunchback, or a poisonous bunch-backed toad, as he is described by Margaret, widow of Henry VI. (He is also called an elvish-marked, abortive rooting hog and a hedgehog, among other things.)
Also tellingly, the remains in Leicester showed a gash in the skull that could have been caused by a blow in battle, as well as other gashes about the head that could have been caused by knife blows inflicted on the corpse as it was trundled by horseback into Leicester.
The historical Richard has long been overshadowed by the Shakespearean Richard, which was the creation of a playwright with an interest in celebrating the Tudor line. Shakespeares creation was a vividly malevolent villain who displayed the kind of warped psychology more richly described in later plays, such as Macbeth, and re-enacted in real life by an unending catalog of tyrants. (See: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Saddam, Gadhafi.)
In England, plans are afoot to inter the bones of Richard in the nearby cathedral with the dignity befitting a king. It appears that under the House of Windsor, the sins of the Plantagenets can be, if not forgiven, at least put into context.
That context is something we continually try to imagine in the histories and the historic plays and movies that we read and watch. It is hard to know what degree of nobility to ascribe to the nobility of bygone eras. Those who rose to the level of king often had to be tested in actual battle, wielding swords in fierce combat, killing at close quarters. Our leaders today dont go in for that sort of thing. In the violent environment of the late medieval world, the continual battle among the armies of clans and warlords must have seemed like a world dominated by the gangs with the fastest horses and the most brutal fighters.
The remains in Leicester connect us to that world. But it is the lasting contribution of Shakespeare that he infused that world with something else: humanity. Within the self-contained world of Shakespeares monarchies, he explored the ways that human beings may act with treachery, self-deception and pride or with humility, nobility and compassion. He asked continually: What makes a great king? The answer: what makes a great person.
Richard III, who slaughtered his own nephews, among many others, was not a great person, as far as we know, except in that he was a great villain, and Shakespeare made sure we knew that. Historians tell us he did some good things as king. No doubt. But his short unhappy reign and that gaping hole in his skull, not to mention the historical legacy shaped by the Tudor propagandist from Stratford, suggest a man beset by many enemies, mostly of his own making.MORE IN EditorialsThat Robert F.

Hornady has made a monumental breakthrough with its Superformance Ammunition increasing bullet velocity by an average of 100 to 200 fps for any caliber, bullet weight, or bullet type using progressive propellants. Superformance Ammunition can be used in any rifle without increasing felt recoil, muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, fouling or loss of accuracy. Simply put, Superformance Ammunition is highly accurate, deadly, dependable, and just raised the bar by which all other ammunition will be judged. Previously, in order to attain high-velocity loads, shooters had to use the large charge weights and a slow-burning powder found in light magnum or custom loads, which typically result in more felt recoil and muzzle blast. Superformance Ammunition achieves extraordinary performance using powder charges 10-15% lower than those compact loads for reduced recoil, and all the powder is burned before the bullet even leaves the barrel. Get 21st Century performance with Superformance Ammunition.

I've enjoyed reading here since I began checking in. Thanks for your posts, All.
I have a problem with compulsive use of the computer. It was my life-line to interaction during my last relapse and, as such, provided me with my sense of still belonging to and participating in social life.
But this compulsion creates in me many reactions and emotions which match my alcoholic problems. Because of that, spending too much time here robs me of enjoyment of my "real life."
At present my mom is in hospice and I find myself increasingly drawn to this little box on my desk to "hide" for a while. It interferes with my spirituality and tends to dull my responses to real people.
While I understand that this kind of withdrawal from intense feelings is the denial stage of the grief process, and a natural and normal response to impending loss, I am waking up to the fact that it is dulling my enjoyment.
I'd like to be more actively responding to others' posts and sharing my experience, strength and hope with everyone here. And presently I am not doing much of that for the above reasons.
But I'm here every couple of days and reading what you have to share when I am able to be attentive.
We have a saying around here - "If one person calls you a horse, you can shrug it off. If two people call you a horse, you'd best sit down and think about it. And if three people call you a horse, it's time to go out and buy a saddle!"
Last week three different people in my life commented on my use of the computer. Okay. I HEAR that!
(I suspect there's supposed to be a three letter word after horse.)

Thankfully the Overstock customer care representative was helpful in aiding my return. This carpet did not match my room. I wish it really was grey!
The white bursts on the rug are in 3D. The picture makes it look like they are flat and part of the natural pile. This is not the case. I like the color of the rug, but the white bursts make it look like a 3D, shag carpet. I am very disappointed, and the shaggy, 3D rug looks terrible in my living room. I did not send it back because of the shipping cost. I will look for another rug for my living room and use this in my basement.
The color given is not true to the product. It says gray and the rug is green. I was provided with shipping for return by overstock.
I'm very pleased with this product. The rug is very strong and well made. It was made in India and I have seen the process for rug making for my myself on a trip to India years a go, so I was surprised for the price. This will last for years to come and really looks like it is worth four times the amount that I paid for it. If you're interested in this rug, please don't hesitate to purchase it...it's beautiful!
I love this rug but the amount fuzz that it produces is just too much. If you sit on it, white fuzz gets all over your clothes and then the floors. We have to get rid of it because it's not maintainable.
Super speedy delivery. Well packaged. Great description on website. Very happy with my new rug.
While the description says grey, it is more of a blue grey which worked great in my space! It is very lux and I enjoy it very much.
The photo was not at all what the rug was. The starbursts were made of cheap plastic white and silver pieces. The photo is so lovely but not the rug. I would not recommend and then I had to pay all the shipping both ways when I returned it.
The "bursts" rise above in the carpet, not as pictured. More importantly, the color is incorrect.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Three Wishes A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, "if you release me from this trap, I will grant you 3 wishes." The woman freed the frog. The frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes -- whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!" The woman said, "That would be okay." For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that women will flock to." The woman replied, "That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me." So, KAZAM -- she's the most beautiful woman in the world! For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you." The woman said, "That will be okay because what's mine is his and what's his is mine." So, KAZAM -- she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack." Moral of the story: Women are clever -- don't mess with them.

Old Man and The Ferrari A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: A brand new Ferrari GTO. It is also the most expensive car in the world, and it costs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and stops for a red light. An old man on a moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to him. The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya' got there sonny?" The young man replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!" "That's a lot of money," says the old man." Why does it cost so much?" "Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the young dude proudly. The moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?" "No problem," replies the owner. So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my moped!" Just then the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds, the speedometer reads 160 mph! Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be, and suddenly, WHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! Something whips by him, going much faster! "What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the young man asks himself He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the moped! Amazed that the moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the moped at 275 mph. WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH! He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN! Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph. Not ten seconds later he sees the moped bearing down on him again! The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing he can do! Suddenly, the moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end. The young man stops and jumps out, and unbelievably, the old man is STILL ALIVE!!!!! He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh My God! Is there anything I can do for you?" The old man whispers with his dying breath... "Unhook... my... suspenders... from... your... side-view mirror." Note: If you are interested in more great jokes, click here.
The Blind Guy A blind man and his guide dog enter a bar and find their way to a bar stool. After ordering a drink, and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yells to the bartender "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a husky, deep voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde and I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb. blonde with a black belt in karate. What's more, the woman sitting next to me is blonde and she's a weight lifter. The lady to your right is a blonde, and she's a pro wrestler." "Think about it seriously, Mister. You still wanna tell that joke?" The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times." Note: If you are interested in more great jokes, click here.
What's The Difference This guy blows a stop sign and a cop sees it so he pulls him over. Cop says, "License and registration please." Guy, "For what?" Cop, "Well, sir, you didn't stop at the sign." Guy, "I slowed down and no one was coming." Cop, "You didn't come to a complete stop, license and registration, PLEASE!" Guy, "What's the difference" Cop, "The difference is I wouldn't have pulled you over if you'd stopped." Guy, "I'll give you my license and registration if you can show me the difference between slowing down and stopping." "Okay, I will" the cops says, "Get out of the car." At this point the officer takes his billy club out of the holster and begins to brutally beat the you-know-what out of the guy. As the man is screaming and crying, the officer yells loudly, "NOW SIR, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP?!!!" Note: If you are interested in more great jokes, click here.
The Note Gerald Crozier was a New York literary agent and an incorrigible practical joker. He had a favorite trick he did whenever he was dining at a sufficiently grand and fashionable restaurant. Gerald would wait for a beautiful woman to enter the restaurant and be escorted to her table. He would then summon the wine waiter and ask him to deliver a note to the lady's table. He would tell the wine waiter not to say who the note was from, but to wait for a reply. The wine waiter would then carry Gerald's note over to the lady, who would open it and read: "I know I'm only the wine waiter here, but believe me I can uncork more than bottles! If you want the lay of your life, I'm your man. How about it, honey?" Note: If you are interested in more great jokes, click here.

Regions :: Southeast Asia Evonik opens expanded plant for personal-care products in Indonesia11:35 AM MDT | August 29, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft Evonik Industries has opened an expanded plant for the production of raw materials and additives for personal- and household-care at Bekasi, Indonesia. The company says that it is increasing capacity for surfactants and esters used in hair-care, skin-care, and industrial applications. The investment aims at better serving the personal- and household-care industries in Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, Evonik says. Market growth in Asia is being driven by increasing demand for cosmetic and cleaning products, the company says. "As a global supplier...

I don't know what happened today. This morning took Metformin ER @ 8. I usually don't eat with it as it says because it never bothers my stomach and surely not like this.
Not long after that I did my Levemir shot....doc put me on 70 U. but to increase 10U. each week....so increased it to 80.....I have the pen yet so using that up.....I was bad and didn't change the needle but wiped the needle careful with alcohol prep pad. Did the 60U. then the 20U. Not long after that I started having pains in my stomach....like gas pains...but it was very uncomfortable. I still feel a slight bit of it yet and it's just now past 3 p.m.! Did I do something wrong? Has anyone ever had this? I am also on Humalog 10U. b4 I eat. Did that too this morning but it seemed my stomach problem started in between those two. If I did something wrong I certainly don't want to go thru this again tomorrow. Ugh!! Help!!
I've been using Levemir for years & inject it twice a day. Levemir is best used in split doses. Never had stomach pains from Levemir & never heard of anyone who has. Something else caused this & you didn't do anything wrong.
Metformin should be taken with food.
Hi Gerri and thanks. I have read that many people split their dose of Levemir...I am going to do that but don't think I'll tell my doc. It's so strange because I take the Metformin every morning and it doesn't bother me but very well could have today....I will DEF eat from now on cuz don't want to feel like this again. I used to be on 2000 mgs. of Met a day and my stomach was torn up all of the time. How many hours apart do you do your Levemir?
A benefit of splitting doses is that smaller doses absorb more efficiently & predictably.
How's your fasting BG on 70 units? How are your between meal numbers? Am wondering if you have fasting highs because Levemir doesn't last 24 hours.
I'm T1, so I take smaller insulin doses. I take one dose of Levemir before bed & another after breakfast.
Metformin ER is supposed to be gentler on the tummy. Sorry you had such pains. Ok now?
My BG's are NOT good yet....they are still running in the 200 and 300's. I don't get it. :( Met ER is better but I still have some stomach upset from it. I'm better now but still feel bloated and yucky and sure don't feel like eating. Blech! I don't understand why my #'s are not coming under control....I know the doc thinks I'm lying about my eating habits but I've been counting carbs, reading labels, measuring, etc. One day I barely ate anything and they still didn't come down. It scares me that there is something worse going on. He had me so upset this last Sat. that I'm still feeling the effects of the tension in my back really bad. My muscles tighten up and OUCH!! I KNOW I have to get my #'s under control but I don't know what else he wants me to do...stop eating??? I can't exercise because I have a bad lower back and hips...I can't stand for more than 5-15 min. b4 they start hurting and I have to go sit down.
I just don't know what else I'm supposed to do. **sigh** Oh, I'm up to 80U. of Levemir now and 10U. of Humalog before (or after) each meal. It says you can do it either way. Thank you so much Gerri. xxxxx
So sorry, sweetie. Know how frustrating it is.
200-300 is your fasting? If so, taking split Levemir doses could help because it doesn't last long. Levemir won't effect your spikes after meals because it's too slow acting. It will keep BG stable between meals.
How many carbs are you eating? Your Humalog dose should be based on the number of carbs per meal, not a set dose of 10 units. Did your endo explain how to correct highs using Humalog? This is why your numbers aren't coming down.
Pain can shoot BG up.
I'm not going to an endo....going to my family doc who is an internist. I was eating 30g. of carbs a meal...but I started this diabetes class and they gave me 45g. each meal and then 30 in the evening for a snack....but I don't eat that much! I hate breakfast for one thing so I just have a cup of coffee (decaf), with sweetener and non-dairy creamer (I count those carbs as well which is like 2 per tsp. I use about 2 tsps. Then I'll have a biscuit, 26g. or a piece of toast and it depends on the kind of bread..OR some oatmeal which is 26 for one cup with sweetener and some margarine. That is rare that I eat that though.
He had put me on Actos knowing the threat of it causing bladder cancer....and it was really brining my #'s down well...but then I bloated up like a blowfish and gained 30! lbs. so I stopped it myself.
Before when I was on Levemir my #'s started coming down, then Medicare took it away, then I got it back and now my #'s won't come down!! Yes it IS very frustrating!! :( Thank you honey. xxxxx
ADA guidelines are ridiculous! Sometimes I think they're trying to kill us with their high carb recommendations.
Do you know how to correct highs with Humalog? If you're starting off high without correcting & not taking enough insulin, then numbers will remain high.
Foods like toast, biscuits, oatmeal hit the bloodstream very fast. Carbs start digesting from the enzymes in saliva. Protein & fat digest slowly. You need to take Humalog more than 15 minutes before meals like that to head off the spike.
If you don't mind me saying this, butter & cream are much healthier than non-dairy creamer (pretty much all chemicals)& margarine (transfats).
When they gave me my little sheet with "my" carbs I even told them..."this is more than I've even been eating"! I thought it was alot and then 30g. at night for a snack??? For real? I wouldn't even be able to sleep!
So, anything starchy hits the bloodstream fast, is that correct? I knew that protein was better but didn't know all of this (obviously).
Well, I do the non-dairy because I'm lactose intolerant on top of everything else! lol So, I've done that for a long time.
I've heard that butter is really better than margarine health-wise. I'd have to get some Silk-type milk tho to use for cereal (which I quit eating) and for my coffee.
No, I sure don't know how to correct highs at all. It's beginning to dawn on me that I don't know how to do anything and it's NEVER been explained to me either!
You are a sweetheart Gerri for helping me and taking the time to explain all of this and I appreciate it so much.
Oh, I do have financial limitations since I'm on disability so it's hard for me to eat healthier because of that too. I even wrote to our governor about that!!
Geesh! Eating 30g before bed is a guarantee for morning highs. No end to the bad advice. Infuriating!
Yes, anything starchy (bread, cereal, crackers, pasta, rice, potatoes) hits the bloodstream fast & furiously. Protein & fat digest slowly. Grains are not a good choice for diabetics. Protein for breakfast is best.
Stay away from soy products. Unsweetened almond milk is healthier & very low carb. 2 carbs for 8 ounces.
Have you tried Lactaid? My mother has a problem with lactose & takes Lactaid.
What is your fasting BG in the morning?
If you aren't, would be helpful if you logged your BG before & after meals. If you're always taking 10 units with meals, no need to write that down because it's a constant. Can't know what to do without seeing the patterns to understand where insulin adjustments are needed to tame those numbers.
Three things are critical to using insulin.
1. Your insulin:carb (I:C) ratio. How many units of insulin are needed to cover X number of carbs. People have different ratios for different meals. Breakfast is typically a time of insulin resistance/carb sensitivity, so the ratio is smaller. Lunch, when people are active, tends to have a larger ratio. As our bodies slow down in the evening, dinner ratio can be smaller.
2. You insulin sensivity factor (ISF). How many units of rapid acting insulin are needed to correct highs. For example, 1 unit of Apidra lowers me 60 pts. Everyone is different & I'm a small person. If I'm at 150 & my target is 90, I'd take 1 unit to correct. I have syringes with half unit markings that helps a lot. Need to be cautious with correcting to not end up low. I won't correct less than 2.5-3 hours after injecting. Rapid acting peaks at 90-120 minutes & is usually gone in 4-5 hours. It's called stacking when you inject more with a lot still in your system.
3. Correcting lows. How many grams of pure glucose raise BG how many points? Again, everyone is unique & it's loosely based on weight. One glucose gram raises me 10 pts. If I'm at 60, I use three jelly beans (1 gram each) to get to my target of 90. People tend to overtreat lows.
Realize this sounds overwhelming, but the things we've all learned step by step. Mostly, we've learned on our own through careful trial & error. You can do it.
Doctors never seem to explain this & no wonder that many diabetics have poor control due to lack of education. All they say is, take a certain number of units---arrrgh! Don't know if it's possible for you to be referred to a CDE (certified diabetic educator). She'll give you the ADA carb party line, which you can ignore, but help with your doses would be great.
Using Insulin by John Walsh is a good book.
Understand financial limitations. All you can do is the best you're able to do buying fresh or frozen vegetables & staying away from packaged, expensive junk.
Good for you for writing your governor!

Census managers, employees take backseat-driver role in reorg
Wednesday - 10/3/2012, 3:26pm EDT
Part 1 - Nancy Potok, Census Bureau deputy director
Part 2 - Nancy Potok, Census Bureau deputy director
Leadership conceived the idea, but managers and employees have become the major drivers of progress in the Census Bureau's reorganization effort, the agency's deputy director said in an interview.
"And so for the various functions that we're realigning, we've put together teams of employees — managers really — who are looking at their own functions and trying to come up with better ways for structuring the workforce to better be agile and to be able to be more responsive," said Census Bureau Deputy Director Nancy Potok.
Census employees are working on an 18-month effort to realign headquarters functions and close half — six — of the bureau's field offices. The goal is to reduce costs by up to $18 million per year and improve survey data collection in the digital age.
"It's really led by the employees," Potok said. "I think the leadership here has been quite critical in putting out the vision and the goals of what we need to accomplish. But it's really been the employees themselves who have put together the nuts and bolts of how we go about accomplishing that."
The reorganization is the bureau's first major internal changeup in 50 years. In part, it aims to modernize Census' ongoing survey work.
"We actually do almost 30 demographic surveys and then a large number of economic surveys," Potok said. "We have a lot of other agencies that pay us to do surveys, so we wanted to provide better service to our client agencies, and therefore we also wanted to provide better service to the taxpayers."
The agency started closing its field offices in January and will finish by Dec. 31, Potok said. She did not provide a completion date for the headquarters realignment, which began in February.
Census leaders expect the closures to affect 300 employees. Some field workers will have the option of teleworking, and others may be reassigned.
In addition, the bureau offered buyouts and early retirements.
"We had 203 people who ended up taking the early outs, so it was a successful program," Potok said. "But that's not sort of our first line here. I think what we'd like to do is see how we can train people here and see if we can get the skill sets that they need."
To improve workforce performance, Census leaders have asked employees to assess their skills in areas deemed critical to the bureau's future. They feedback will fuel more robust training programs.

ALBANY Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, will introduce legislation that will increase the penalties for killing a first responder while limiting the publics ability to access information about people with pistol permits.
The new legislation, which Mrs. Russell will introduce formally at a press conference Friday in Watertown, will be an expansion of the bill known as Marks Law that was sponsored by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton.
Marks Law was proposed following the murder of emergency medical technician Mark B. Davis on Jan. 30, 2009, after he responded to a call for help in Cape Vincent.
Marks Law passed the Senate in 2012 but failed to clear the Assembly, Mrs. Russell said.
I wanted to really enhance the bill so that it would provide more justice in cases like Marks, Mrs. Russell said.
The new legislation will ensure that anyone who murders a first responder will be guilty of murder in the first degree and will stiffen penalties for those guilty of giving weapons to those unqualified to have them.
Citing the recent shooting in Webster, where two firefighters were fatally shot while responding to a house fire, Mrs. Russell said it is important that legally owned guns do not fall into the hands of people who want to use them for harm.
We need to ensure that we are doing all that we can to prevent these types of tragedies from occurring in the first place, she said.
Mrs. Russell also said the recent publication of the names and addresses of people with pistol permits in Westchester and Rockland counties by the Journal News was the reason she decided to add language ensuring that information is no longer part of the public record. She contends the publishing of the personal information of pistol permit holders provides a potentially easy source of guns for criminals.
I think that really invites criminal activity, Mrs. Russell said.
She noted that many of the people listed by the Journal News are law enforcement agents who are now easier targets for criminals they may have helped put away.
If you provide someones name and the county they reside in, I think that amount of information will provide enough insight to know how many gun owners there are in the community,Mrs. Russell said.
More information will be available about the bill following the press conference Friday, scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Dulles State Office Building.
