First consult a doctor and make sure you have no thyroid issue, second, WAIT until you are SURE to encounter radiation. Even then it only stops your body from intaking radioiodine which causes thyroid and other cancers, you will still get radiation poisoning, and it offers no protection for any other radioactive elements.
Potassium Iodide can potentially be dangerous and should ONLY be used when absolutely needed.
If you are in the US, you probably won't need them at all. If the reactors all melt down and there is an explosion or fire, then the west coast might get a little, but so far it's looking pretty good for us in North America.

Oh, I forgot, you need to take the Potassium Iodide PRIOR to radiation exposure. And always consult your physician, I am not a doctor, and I don't give medical advice.

But we simply do not know the scale of what types of fallout we may or may not see. We simply don't know.

Having strong concerns about radioactive fallout downwind from 3 or so potential meltdowns is not fear mongering though.
It's basic common sense. Anyone with a brain should be able to put this together.
Fear mongering is more like invoking fantasy for no good reason simply to stir the pot. This does not fall under that category. Some people make take things "out of proportion" sure, but with the fallout scenario we should be concerned and taking precautions 100%.

Jasmine Waltz: 5 Things About David Arquette's New GirlfriendEmma Brady
As soon as the news broke that Courteney Cox and David Arquette had decided to separate after 11-years of marriage, the rumblings started about what might have caused the longtime couple to call it quits. Apparently the answer may be another actress named Jasmine Waltz.
David is reportedly healing his broken heart with the serial dater / bartender with quite the Hollywood history – including a tangled history with Lindsay Lohan.
So who is Jasmine Waltz?
Actress. Jasmine Waltz is an actress with quite the list of credits which include the Paris Hilton film Pledge This! and National Lampoon's TV: The Movie. She has several TV credits which includes a two-episode guest spot on Courteney's FX drama Dirt.
Serial dater. The aspiring actress has a long list of Hollywood beaus from Jesse McCartney to Ryan Seacrest. Waltz has also been linked to Chris Pine and Danny Cipriani.
Waitress / Bartender. As a aspiring actress, Jasmine Waltz has worked at some of the hottest spots in Los Angeles. Her employers have included Les Deux, Voyeur, and the Italian restaurant Bell.
Lindsay Lohan Link. Jasmine hit the notoriety lottery when she was allegedly of punching Lindsay Lohan in the face while during her birthday celebration at Voyeur.
Homewrecker. Now Waltz is facing allegations that she is the cause of the separation of Courteney Cox and David Arquette. She has been reportedly spotted out on the town with the father-of-one in Los Angeles over recent weeks. Photos of their nights on the town may have been the trigger that led to today's announcement of the separation of the longtime couple.

December 1, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) -- Martha Stewart will stay at the company she founded, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., as chairman and will also be its chief creative officer through June 2017.
The lifestyle, media and merchandising company also says that Lisa Gersh is the new CEO. Gersh had been named president and chief operating officer in May 2011 with the expectation that she would assume the CEO role.
Charles Koppelman, the former chairman of the board, had served as CEO during a series of management changes.
Stewart took over as non-executive chairman in May.
She had rejoined the board in September at the end of a five-year ban on serving as a board member or as an executive of a public company as part a settlement with federal regulators related to insider trading.

It's been a while since I've purchased a new tarot deck, but I found the Paulina Tarot the other day while gallivanting online and it spoke to be right away (it said, "buy me"... lol)
With all the back-to-school craziness that's been going on here I haven't had a (quiet) chance to sit down and get to know my new deck yet, but today I found myself (in the middle of screaming kids and barking dogs) sitting down with my deck and doing a reading for myself. I did a very small, three card, spread (I didn't really have time, or room for any more) that actually turned into a five card spread with a bit of confirmation from my favorite pendulum (I honestly couldn't believe how clear the answers were coming through from the deck itself, but they were spot on!)
The last card I pulled was the Magician.. She arrived in all her Enchanted Glory to remind me of who and what I am - a Knowledgeable Witch with Friends in the Spirit Realm who are here to help me any time I so ask.
It's easy to forget that, and so today I've taken to placing reminders around myself - to finding a bit of quiet to ground and center myself, to connect once again with my Patron Goddess who shines the Light of Beauty and Grace upon me anytime I wish. Today is a day filled with Spirit for me and with this heat I swear I feel as if I'm in Hades... which is exactly where I want to be! Chatting with the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, and Her Hand-maiden, Hecate... listening to the words of Ancient Wisdom.
Samhain is coming and it's time for my art to take a turn into the darkness of the macabre world. I have several projects I'm working on that are a bit darker in nature, but honestly all my Witch-crafts tend to come out on the Lighter Side.. Francesca once told me I was very much a Girly Fae and I guess that just comes out with everything I do - be it fashion, art or magic!
Until next time...

Bicycling: So Hot Right Now
Categories: A Clockwork Orange, Long Beach, OC Media
In Long Beach, they are hot in the stolen property sense.
More on that in a bit.
First, we turn more positively to Orange County's LB.
That's LB as in Laguna Beach, where Bike-On Laguna Beach presents another drop-in, community-wide bicycle ride beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday.
The ride begins at the corner of Park Avenue and Legion Street and passes the Farmers Market, the Transition Laguna Beach Garden Party, the U.S. Post Office and Laguna Coffee.
So, if locals pedal fast enough ahead of the pack, they can rush in and take care of most of their weekend errands on the route.
Actually, fast-pedaling is also not required. The level of difficulty of this ride is rated at: "Easy Pedaling."
Ride-On peddles the following to justify bicycling:
- "Our transportation system requires 70 percent of the oil we consume. Help break our national addiction to fossil fuels, ride a bike."
- "Obesity is the second leading cause of death after tobacco use."
- "Fifty percent of the working population commutes five miles or less to work."
- "Eighty-two percent of trips five miles or less are made by personal motor vehicle."
Ride-On peddles the following to justify Saturday's ride:
- "Discover safe bike routes through Laguna neighborhoods."
They left out the fact that you'll meet some cool, committed people.
Speaking of committed, we've discovered Long Beach Police are committed to stemming the rise of bike thefts in town.

The Shutdown, the Debt Ceiling, and Our Credit Rating
12:00 AM, Oct 5, 2013 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
Two stories were prominently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal a few days ago. America either is, or in a few months will be, the world's largest producer of energy, "a new era of opportunities," says Adam Sieminski, head of the U.S. Energy Information Administration. And feuding politicians have temporarily shut down a part of the government that accounts for about 10-12 percent of federal spending. Guess which is more important to the U.S. economy in the long run.
The president says that the shutdown and the impending fight over the debt ceiling are "catastrophes," the mot du jour of the White House and the Treasury. Warren Buffet says, "The markets are not gonna fall apart. We will go right up to the point of extreme idiocy but we won't cross it. " Three-quarters of the businesses in his widely diversified Berkshire Hathaway empire (stock market valuation around $260 billion) are doing better. "Our furniture stores are up 8% or 9%….Our railroad carried 207,000 cars last week. That's the highest this year. September is about 5% to 6% over last year." It is not unreasonable to ask whether you want to bet on Obama or Buffett in deciding about the longer-term outlook for the American economy if you have some spare change to invest.
And worry not about default if Congress and the president can't agree on raising the debt ceiling before another of the standoffs that precedes some deal. You can take with a bag of salt warnings by bankers, all subject to government regulation and some under investigation, who emerged from a White House meeting dutifully echoing the "catastrophe" line. As the Lindsey consulting group puts it, "incoming revenue has interest payments covered ten times over. Social security checks, pay for the troops and other high priority items would easily be covered…. Hardly a default in the usual meaning of the term." Some costs would have to be cut if the government is forced to live on the trillions flowing into its coffers from tax receipts, rather than rely on more borrowing, largely from the Chinese. But a government that admits to employing 800,000 non-essential workers (some of whom do valuable chores) and is spending over $3,500,000,000,000 per year surely can find some savings somewhere.
The Treasury claims it does not have the technical ability to prioritize payments so as to assure that interest obligations are met, despite the fact that even the tiniest business does this regularly. The absence of an ability to prioritize might be why the president is predicting disaster if the ceiling is not raised. Or it might be because Obama sees political advantage in tarring Republicans with the "default" brush and its alleged "catastrophic" effects. I report, you decide.
While considering the direction of policy, don't forget an institution celebrating its 100th anniversary—the Federal Reserve System and its board. If there were any doubt that the Fed's monetary policy gurus will continue to print money in an effort to accelerate the recovery, the latest brawl in Washington should dispel it. Chairman Ben Bernanke has made two things clear: One is that he views it his job to offset the headwinds blowing from the nation's capital, and the other is that the most important bits of data on which he will base policy are the unemployment rate and associated readings of the labor market's temperature.
Since Bernanke is breathing what the Lindsey Group describes as "the foul air in the swamp that has become the nation's capital," he has to know that the headwinds he now has to offset are blowing at gale force. As for the labor market, we are at a bit of a loss to get a clear reading: The numbers-crunchers at the Department of Labor are classified as not essential to the safety and health of the realm, and so are on temporary furlough (a de facto vacation, since they will eventually collect back pay for the days they didn't work). As a result, yesterday we did not get the employment data traditionally issued on the first Friday of each month. The "data driven" Fed will have to do without some of the data that it says drives its decisions. But is a safe bet that nothing in those data would have shown such a marked fall in the unemployment rate, and/or rise in the labor-force participation rate to prompt Bernanke to dust off the aborted taper.
I have always felt that we should leaven all data with anecdotal evidence. So here are some recent events in the labor market.
· Builders from Phoenix, Arizona to Washington, D.C. tell me they are having difficulty finding skilled construction labor.

No, it's up Kilt pictures!
Got Ya!
Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by,
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye:
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be;
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth.
They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show.
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees.
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
"Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"

About Stan McMahon Band
"As someone who has to be routinely reminded to tie his shoes, it's always impressive to meet a person blessed with a spot-on elephant's memory. Stan McMahon, despite 50 plus years and 50,000 plus beers under his belt, is still sharp as a tack when it comes to rock. Rightfully earning his self styled reputation as "'he Human Jukebox,' the man's mental songbook is heavy with Beatles, Byrds and Big Star. Though he's mainly garnered attention with his Guided by Voices cover band, Giant Bug Village, the Stan McMahon Band serves up equally tasty slabs of power-pop goodness." - Josh Blanchard, Portland Mercury
"An interesting quality to Stan's songs, and something that perhaps does betray his age, is the lack of cynicism and irony in his vocals. His slightly husky voice sounds completely earnest, but not annoyingly so, and his lyrics always provide for a hand out of the darkness to help, redemption for those needing it, and other sweet, tender sentiments that are refreshing in an age when so many rock acts. With the snappy musical and harmony backing of his Peacocks, a full Stan McMahon sound is a terrific mix of melodicism and optimism." - inmusicwetrust.com

Is War Machine, the mixed martial arts fighter accused of brutally beating his ex, a Men's Rights Activist?
If the Men's Rights movement is looking for a celebrity endorser, I think I've found just the guy for them: the mixed martial arts fighter, and erstwhile porn actor, War Machine, currently sitting in jail on charges of brutally beating and attempting to kill his ex-girlfriend, porn star Christy Mack.
Men's Rights activists should be able to look past these criminal charges; after all, as they remind us all the time, women are forever falsely accusing innocent men of all sorts of terrible things.
And in so many ways War Machine is perfect for them. An MMA fighter, he's already only one letter away from being an MRA. A misogynistic asshole with rage issues, he'll have no trouble fitting in with the Men's Rights crowd. And, especialy important for a movement that has a lot of trouble getting any good PR, he's a bit more comfortable on camera than the Paul Elams and Dean Esmays of the world, with experience on television (on the reality show The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra), and in seven films (albeit pornographic ones).
Best of all: he'll need no ideological education from what A Voice for Men likes to call Fuck Shit Up University. War Machine – real name Jonathan Koppenhaver – is already an outspoken proponent of many of the Men's Rights Movement's core beliefs.
Consider these selections from a little Men's Rights manifesto War Machine wrote a few years ago during a previous stint behind bars, serving time for felony assault after two bloody bar fights. His rant, which a friend posted to the internet, would fit right in with the sort of stuff we've seen regularly posted on the Men's Rights subreddit, or The Spearhead, or A Voice for Men. I've bolded some of the Men's Rightsiest bits:
The oppression of MEN is worse than oppression of Jews in Nazi germany, worse than the slavery of Blacks in early America…
There has always been the oppressor and always the oppressed. Before, it was blatant … NOW the oppressor has learned to disguise his evil. You can see man, but you can not see MEN. How easy it is to oppress a minority that is invisible to the eye! How genius of the oppressor! And what a better target too! …
Men challenge injustice from Government, MEN fight for their Constitutional rights, that are slowly being taken away every year. …
And they don't just oppress us by making more laws and taking away more freedom, they are far more clever than that! Ask yourself what your REAL dream was?? If you gave up on this dream, why? Because of the brainwashing of the Government, that's why! They taught you to "play it safe." They told us a responsible man has ONE wife, a house, good credit, good job, and kids. How are you supposed to chase your dreams while maintaining all of that!?
Men are supposed to take risks and be aggressive! What accomplishments have ever come of a man scared to risk it all!? None!? Where would the world be? Still 'flat!' Still 'Earth at the center of the universe!'
If any of you have your Men's Rights Bingo cards out, I'm guessing you might already be close to scoring a bingo. We've got a comparison to slavery that could have come straight from the pages of A Voice for Men, a marriage-is-death-to-male-dreams rant that could have been borrowed from any MGTOW forum, and an evo-psych-esque argument that men are the true risk-takers and the world's real innovators.
And I don't think War Machine would have much trouble with Paul Elam's "Bash a Violent Bitch Month," either.
[I]t's Christmas day and I'm laying in my bunk wondering "Why in the hell do American men get married!?" … If your wife is being a bitch you can't slap her, if your wife is yelling at you, God forbid you yell back … Next thing you know it will be illegal to fuck your wife! LMAO! Maybe then, MEN in this country will get the fucking hint and MOVE! This country forces you to be a bitch!
In another online posting, War Machine touched on another Men's Rights hobbyhorse, the notion that the justice system is stacked against men:
[L]ook at the prisons, they are FULL of MEN, not women. Are men "evil" and women not? Or do the laws target and attempt to restrict NATURAL MEN'S BEHAVIOR? How many of the HEROES in American history would avoid prison if they lived today? Davey Crockett? Thomas Jefferson? David Bowie? General Grant & General Lee? Shit, George Washington. … Laws target MEN and men's behavior. Women want to bitch and cry about their rights and equality… LMAO! MEN are the ones locked away like animals, while women run free!
Someone might have to explain to War Machine that David Bowie is not actually a famous American HERO but a famously androgynous British musician who once recorded an album called "Heroes." (Mr. Machine may be thinking of James Bowie, a well-known 19th century American frontiersman and slave trader, and the guy the Bowie Knife is named after.)
But other than that, he seems ready to go.
There is, of course, that whole attempted murder charge to deal with.
It's true the Men's Rights Movement has had few problems in the past rallying behind men with histories of violence. But War Machine might be a harder sell as a Men's Rights hero. His alleged attack on Mack left her with a cracked rib, a ruptured liver, numerous broken bones, missing teeth and her eyes swollen shut. (See here for photos of her injuries; obviously this link is NSFW and could be triggering.)
While Mr. Machine denies attacking Mack, he joked to a TV host last year that if she were to leave him "I would just kill her" and get a tattoo saying "Rest In Peace" above the tattoo of her name he has on his neck.
And several hours after allegedly trying to murder her, War Machine tweeted this lovely message about his ex:
War Machine does seem to be at a low point in his life. Even aside from the charges he faces, and the time he seems likely to serve, his career in porn is almost certainly over. The "Alpha Male" clothing line he helped start wants nothing to do with him. Nobody but the prison system seems to want this guy.
In other words: Men's Rights activists, this is your chance! War Machine may not be the, er, hero you want. But he's certainly the hero you deserve.

…Just noting something.
I call myself eclectic Pagan.
By Pagan I mean "Earth-based spirituality."
There's a lot of other Pagans who believe in a wide range of stuff.
Some of that stuff I'd be morally opposed to, much of it I just simply wouldn't find useful.
Oh, and some of them would find me not sufficiently Pagan… Oh well, they can go sit on their Power Crystal and spin for all I care of their opinion of me.
Blahlistic, forgive me, this thread's been all over the place and I don't remember all of it: are you responding to something in particular? Or maybe just joining our little Pagan party?
I call myself eclectic Pagan.
I read that as electric Pagan.
Which sounds rather fun.

Depends, your wattage may vary.
Gives a whole new meaning to Power Crystals, dunnit?
Argh, noooo! You put images in my head. I must laugh & wince now.
My work here is done! :D
@ emilygoddess someone was saying something about Dianic Wicca, Z Budapest, and transphobia…
…So I was just rambling a bit and sort of thinking about how much (ahem) ground the term Pagan covers.
Many subgroups thereof will snootily insist they are the True Pagans, and everyone else is full of crap…and…
…Also thinking if you put all those groups together in one fairground how fast that could possibly turn into a situation calling for riot police to separate some of them.
I mean…I dunno about you, but white-supremacist Norse Pagans make me real Thor….
Many subgroups thereof will snootily insist they are the True Pagans, and everyone else is full of crap…and…
Now that's just mind-boggling. Am I wrong in thinking paganism has a lot to do with polytheism, and the whole my gods vs your gods shouldn't really apply?
Before I decided I was more comfortable spiritually buggering off and doing my own thing, I bumped around the periphery of the local Pagan/Wiccan scene, and a lot of them seem to have a great sense of …um…grandiosity… in their assorted traditions….which they often assure me are of great antiquity and/or handed down through their family and in the blood so on and suchforth…And it MUST BE DONE in such a way and seriousness and blahblahblahdeblah.
Not like, doctrinare so much as terrifically self-important.
Ah, yes, but you can still pick the wrong gods, for the wrong reasons, and do your worship the wrong way, and…
Short version – people can always find something to disagree about.
Eeep, that sounds like my brushes with the Spiritualist mobs out here, only worse, with all that ancestry/antiquity waffle. It's even written in Spiritualist principles that you don't judge someone else's experiences, and there isn't meant to be any "must believe this" dogma, but the group I had most contact with were into being a capital-C Church, and if you didn't follow what the president and pastor said, you were out. Feckin' creepy, those two. Doctrinaire and self-important.
"Spiritually buggering off and doing my own thing" is exactly what I did, too. Having contact with like-minded people would've been nice, but it turns out they weren't. Also, having a Wurlitzer organ playing at services made me want to scream.
And to feel superior about, if they need to feel superior to other people…Hmm…
*takes look in mirror at that…*
*adjusts ego…*
Also, having a Wurlitzer organ playing at services made me want to scream.
So did they think that suffering makes you holier or what?
I think they might have.
So did they think that suffering makes you holier or what?
They didn't have bagpipes, I doubt it.
I like bagpipes, they would have been a great improvement (though maybe not in an enclosed space). :D
Skeeviest thing about that president: she was busy telling me that Mr K was "very naughty" – her words – 'cos according to her people who've crossed over shouldn't be in romantic relationships with us who're still here. That was bad enough; I was ready to blow my stack with you're presuming to judge a man ten times your age and your superior in eveyr fashion I can think of, but the truly creepy part was her heavy implication that I should be out fucking some earthly man, because, well, how could I deny myself the joys of catering to some hypothetical dude, that's not LIVING. Being happy with my own situation didn't count, being in love didn't count, nope, it was all about fitting her dogma. I'm betting she was only in a Spiritualist church 'cos a fundamentalist Christian one wouldn't have let her be boss.
emilygoddess, pecunium – thanks for that info, and all I can say is I'm glad I'm not involved in any of that! I think I have my ideas of paganism from the pre-Christian era; even the Romans were, overall, more inclined to adopt local deities, maybe with a name change, or equate them with their own, than jump up and down about who's right and who's wrong, afaik.
"I figure the devout Pastafarian is as legitimate in their belief; and to be tolerated in their practice, so long as they don't try to impose on others."
Should I say Amen! or Alleluia!?
"white-supremacist Norse Pagans make me real Thor…."
Blahlistic wins the prize for worst pun that makes perfect sense!
Pastafarians say "Ra-men." :D
…My puns are only outdone in stench by my farts…
And on that note …
Good thing cats don't make puns. It the puns' terrible terribleness was linked to their fart power, I shudder to think how bad Fribbie's would be.
From War Machine to kitty farts in 1434 posts.
"What a long strange trip it's been."
Please forgive me, all. This may sound terrible, but it's a nonsnarky question. Are there sincere Pastafarians? The few I've met are really atheists for whom Flying Spaghetti Monster is their celestial teapot. (They're good people; I don't want to give anyone a bad impression)
Essentially the FSM was intelligently designed by mostly science-friendly folks to mock proponents of intelligent design. You don't have to be an atheist to get a chuckle out of this mockery, but probably most "believers" are non-believers. (There's a good Wikipedia article on the subject if you're interested.)
GOM: Essentially the FSM was intelligently designed by mostly science-friendly folks to mock proponents of intelligent design.
A more pointed version of Discordianism really.
If you think discordianism is just a ha-ha, go read the principia again. ;)
dear god, I finally gave up and googled axolotl…Plus chucking my tuppence in that I was disengaging with the site due to the dynamic that was developing and I am glad to see it out in the open. Also agreeing that I wish we could have resolved it as a community which involved Ally. And also that I think TERF is a very particular term to describe a group of feminist who, by the very nature of their take on feminism, are trans-exclusionary. Therefore TERF is apt but now degraded.
I'm very glad to see you still here, BigMomma, and hope you'll be able/want to engage more! I was sorry we were seeing so little of you.
I don't think such a resolution would have been possible.
I was frankly surprised that there weren't more people leaving, myself included. The situation was such that I thought I'd be one of a small minority and just not welcome after saying anything. In fact I'll go further: I was astonished that there was support, let alone what seems to be general agreement, overall if not in detail.
You've been following the site longer than I have, too; I'd guess it's maybe two-three years for me. I wasn't with it in the early days when it was more trolls than regulars, judging by the old threads. But it's my only social connection these days – not that I mind that, I don't enjoy face to face social stuff outside a very small group – and it would have been a heavy blow to have to leave.
War Machine said that "Men's Oppression is worse than slavery"…… I said on twitter that Many men are realizing this……. Allegations against War Machine may or may not be correct, he may or may not be an ideal human being- nothing stops his right to think like a Man, express his view like a Man, realize slavery of a Man…… and I endorse his views on slavery of Men.
War Machine said that "Men's Oppression is worse than slavery"…… I said on twitter that Many men are realizing this…….
Well, I'm a man. A white cishet man, in fact. I'm not oppressed by anything besides a fucked-up capitalist system that promotes a dog-eats-dog mentality and rewards opportunistic, selfish assholes at the expense of decent people working together to keep society running. But as a white cishet man, that's pretty much all I'm being oppressed by. Women, POC, gay people and transpeople face the same oppressive system, but with the added penalty of institutionalized misogyny, racism, homophobia and transphobia. So tell me again how the suffering of men is worse?
The men who are "realizing this" are not realizing anything besides the fact that they're slowly losing privilege, and that makes them angry. And sometimes violent. They're the bad guys, here.
Allegations against War Machine may or may not be correct, he may or may not be an ideal human being-
Umm… You do realize that beating up your girlfriend beyond the point of recognition makes you pretty much the opposite of an ideal human being, right? Leave it to an MRA to doubt any and all accusations of violence commited by a white cishet man with a history of abuse and violence and an attitude of utter entitlement…
nothing stops his right to think like a Man, express his view like a Man, realize slavery of a Man……
I thought about making a joke at using Man – Middle-Earth's way of differentiating human being from man (written without the capital "m"), but fuck you. Seriously. Don't you realize that the toxic nonsense that War Machine spews is the exact reason why many men are so fucked up? He embodies the worst aspects of the male gender role: Entitlement and the will to dominate through threatening with and using violence as a weapon.
Feminists are trying to get rid of gender roles. You MRAs are enforcing them with your poisonous nonsense about the supposed sanctity of the image of men as a group of violent control freaks and rapists who are being unfairly held down by a "feminized" society. You're promoting the exact image of men you claim you're opposed to. You're the problem.
I'm a man. I'm not violent. I have no desire to compete with or dominate anyone. I view women as equals. You are allowed to call me a feminine man or a mangina. In turn, I'm allowed to point out that your name-calling is reliant on the misogynistic belief that women are somehow worth less than men, and call you a misogynistic douchenozzle with massive entitlement and zero empathy. As I should.
and I endorse his views on slavery of Men.
Well, good luck with that. You're entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts. And saying that men are enslaved seems to me like a solid claim of fact. A positive claim, in fact. So start handing out the links to the research proving that men are "enslaved"*. The way I see it, we're not. Not by a long shot, and you'd be an idiot to think otherwise.
*Before promoting it, let me say that I've already read WTF's The Myth of Male Power. Not only is it full of unsupported assertions and backwards logic, it's a goddamn stupid piece of writing as well. Anybody swayed by the ridiculous ego-stroking of entitled men in that book is about as gullible and narcissistic as any Ayn Rand fan.
Anyway, the fuck is it with you guys and your complete inability to use ellipses correctly? Did the leftover dots in your text spill over from your fellow MRAs?
@Anarchonist…Punctuation and capitalization rules are a feminist conspiracy; he's taking a valiant stand against them!
Plus, he's oppressed by having to pretend women aren't subhuman when he is out in public. That's very difficult for him, but he has to these days, to keep a job.
He's further oppressed by not having been automatically supplied a domestic female. I mean, every adult phallus bearer should own at least one domestic female to clean, cook and service him.
Instead he had to go out and rope one out of the wild herd, if indeed he's managed! I mean, that's just not proper!
This is the thread that doesn't end!
Yes it goes on and on, my friends!
Some people started commenting, not knowing what it was
And they'll continue commenting forever just because…
But anyway. "Men's oppression is worse than slavery". Eh?
Men not getting to beat women = worse than being whipped.
Men not getting custody due to not being the primary caregiver = worse than watching your family members sold off.
Men not getting to rape = being lynched with a false accusation of rape to cover for it.
Men not getting to control women's reproduction = worse than being raped with no chance of recourse and carrying your rapist's child.
Men not getting to use slurs and make rape jokes without pushback = worse than not being able to vote.
Men being accepted into and not socially deterred from dirty or dangerous jobs = worse than working for no pay at all.
Bloody privileged fool.

Blog Entry
Friday 5 with KB: Moving plans aplenty
Posted on: December 10, 2010 5:25 pm
Edited on: December 10, 2010 7:10 pm
Posted by Matt Moore
1. Okay, so New Orleans has a few buyers mulling around, the league is all set to take ownership of the team, KC and Louisville are getting their checkbooks out, and meanwhile the Hornets have gone down the drain a bit. If I'm a New Orleans fan on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being a Hindu cow and 5 being that Saved by the Bell chick when she got addicted to stimulants, how freaked out should I be?
Ken Berger, CBSSports.com: Well, about what? If it's the Hornets' recent struggles on the court, I'd go Hindu cow. If it's the team's long-term prospects in New Orleans, we better find you some tranquilizers. In the first game after the league purchase was announced, the Hornets grew barely more than 10,000 -- and that's paid attendance, which is easily manipulated. I can't imagine who'll show up for the Sacramento game Wednesday night. If the Hornets don't meet an attendance threshold by Jan. 31 -- and they're on pace to wildly miss the mark -- the team can opt out of its arena lease with the state. The Hornets being the deeply indebted, toxic asset they are, clearly this would enhance the potential value of the franchise in a sale because it would open the floor to more bidders and buyers. Nothing will happen this season, and I doubt any serious conversations will occur until after the lockout. But the future certainly looks grim.
2. You dropped word in the post-ups that the Nuggets are finally ready to deal Melo. Knowing the time crunch the Nugget are in with the deadline two and a half months away, is it possible teams could be applying pressure back on Denver in order to sweeten their deals?
KB: Certainly possible -- and maybe even a reason the Nuggets have quietly conveyed the impression to rival executives that they're inclined not to ride out the season with Melo if he refused to sign the extension before Feb. 24. This is the next, inevitable step in the process. In other words, step right up, folks. Bring your best offers. The landscape changes a bit Dec. 15 -- in five days -- when players who signed this past summer become trade-eligible. So far, sources say the Nuggets haven't received any offers that are better than the Nets' package centered around Derrick Favors and two first-round picks. Could that change? Any potential Melo suitors know the time is now to begin trying.
3. How much longer is the Andre Iguodala trade rumor Groundhog-Day-esque nightmare going to continue?
KB: As long as he has $56.5 million coming to him over the next four years, as long as there's one team possibly willing to absorb it, and as long as the Sixers are no better than a borderline eighth seed with him on the team.
4. You talked about the Knicks' resurgence in your quarterly report. What does New York have to do this season to take the next step, or have they hit their ceiling?
KB: Their run of 11 wins in 12 games is a little deceptive because of the competition they've faced, particularly in terms of defensive competition. But there's no doubting the potency of their offense -- and as you've pointed out, they're not benefiting from some ungodly 3-point shooting percentage that can't be sustained. They still need the same two things they needed and tried to get over the summer -- a rugged interior player to defend the basket and a dynamic wing. If they can get one of those between now and the deadline, they'll be on their way to a sure playoff berth -- maybe even a four or five seed. If they can't get Melo, they just have to make sure they don't jeopardize their future flexibility for sloppy seconds.
5. You wrote about how the Players Union's proposal has been completely ignored by the owners this week with so many non-starters. My question is this: Most of the Players' proposals only really hurt the top three to four teams in the league and would help all the little ones. Why are the smaller market teams not demanding the owners take a harder look at this proposal? Is it simply that damaging across the board or are they being bullied by the established big market teams?
KB: Let's start backwards: It certainly seems that the hard-liners are governing the owners' negotiating tactics, because there has been not a word of pushback from small-market owners to the league negotiators' treatment of the players' proposal -- which has been largely to ignore it. The owners -- at least the vast majority of them -- clearly view the players' plan as tweaks and Band-Aids where major reconstructive surgery is needed. When David Stern and Adam Silver have publicly stated on numerous occasions that they're aiming for massive changes to the sport's economic structure, no one is going to cross them publicly and give the players credit -- which they deserve -- for coming up with a handful of creative solutions.
Those solutions clearly don't go far enough in the eyes of Stern and his staunchest supporters. Plus, here's something else to chew on: The small-market owners, in particular, either believe or have been led to believe that they'll lose less money by shutting down the sport than they will by putting on another 82-game charade under the current system. In a way, Stern has gotten exactly what he wanted: By hitting the players over the head with a guillotine in the form of his draconian initial proposal, he boxed Billy Hunter into a corner. Hunter had no choice but to come back with an equally one-sided proposal, so as not to let the owners sense weakness. If a lockout is what the owners want, a lockout is what they are well on their way to achieving.

very good sub, for the real thing, espically if your diabetic
I loved this. It was the first time Ive ever made, or tasted eggnog. I did follow fellow reviewers advice to add pumpkin spices to taste. It was really good; however according to people who are eggnog "conissuers" (sp?) it isn't like the real thing. But still a hit at my family holiday party. And my husband also liked it as a coffee creamer. It isn't very thick, and I didnt have any problems with lumps.

<Pedant> "...bated breath. </Pedant>
Male, 33, United States
JRPG enthusiast not-so-patiently awaiting Dragon Quest's triumphant return to Western shores
<Pedant> "...bated breath. </Pedant>
Bowser, Peach, Mario, Pikachu - of COURSE these are the highest selling Amiibo in the Americas; they're virtually the only ones that seemingly every retailer ever has in stock!
That's no big surprise. It, alongside that sad excuse for a Zelda-themed New 3DS XL, fall into the "meh" category, pretty easily.
It's funny that virtually every Zelda-themed handheld has sold out in a matter of days (or minute, for the last one), and this one...they're practically BEGGING people to reserve it, at GameStop.
"Modest" storage capacity?
I believe the word you were seeking was "paltry;" perhaps, even "miserly."
@Nintendian I wholeheartedly agree. I LOVE grinding, because it satisfies my OCD tendencies.
@Whopper744 Nintendo USED to do events in Pittsburgh and Columbus, but hasn't since the 1990s.
I remember competing, there, when I was eight. In acid-washed jeans, no less.
I'd just like to not have digital purchases tied to the device from which they were purchased, and a far better eShop experience that's uniform across all platforms.
This is Nintendo of America's fault, plain and simple. If they're hoping to increase interest in their product, that's backfiring, as it's just pissing people off that there's not enough stock being produced to meet the demand.
NOA has been in a consistent tailspin, for the last year, releasing insufficient amounts of stock to meet the demand, and further alienating their customer base. It's disappointing that, as someone who's stuck by this company for nearly thirty year, the American audience is so frequently underwhelmed by NOA's lackluster performance.
I'm not certain you understand how downloading games works...it's the same, whether you download it off of XBOX Live, PSN, or the eShop. You're downloading the entire game to the HDD. The only difference is that the Wii U doesn't come with the basic storage capacity to accommodate more than a handful of games without having to spend another $50-100 to expand to a larger external drive.
No - you have 2TB of space that you've either connected using an external hard drive, or that you've somehow retrofitted into your device.
Much as loathe to compare them, the PS4's introductory internal storage capacity is 500GB; the same for XBOX One. If you're going to try to shift people over to downloading software, you need to suck it up and start offering consoles with expanded internal storage capacity.
Much as I love Nintendo's games, their hardware as it relates to storage capacity, is woefully behind the times.
Forgive me for seeming incredulous, but is a 32 GB Wii U the absolute LARGEST capacity console they can offer? My iPad has that much space on it, and I would hardly consider it to be a dedicated gaming console.
While Nintendo should never leave behind their sense of creativity and insistence on releasing Fun to Play games, they really need to welcome themselves further into the 21st Century, in terms of technical specs.
Boy, let me tell you - I'm certain that kids really care about framerates and the quality of 3D effects, until they're jaded.
Even though I'm in my early 30s, I couldn't care less about graphics. I just want games that are FTP - "Fun To Play."
If the games are fun, who cares whether or not they have the greatest graphics in the world? Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games from the 80s and 90s certainly weren't graphical masterpieces, but that made them no less fun.
Get a grip.
@TobiasAmaranth The remake has SEVERAL changes to it that would require several nuanced script updates. Additionally, the PSX version of the game has a translation that is...well, to put it nicely, a bit awkward.
@DBailey Why "for once?" You guys get ALL the great Day One release deals, and the company websites (Bamco and Nintendo, for example) are INFINITELY better than those in the U.S.
Bandai-Namco UK has a rewards program for buying their games, has a great social media department that constantly advertises releases, and offers fantastic Day One releases.
Nintendo's has infinitely better Club Nintendo rewards, AND an online store, which NOA can't even manage to put together.
Yeah, in the past, the UK got the shaft on video game releases, but now? I'd almost rather be there.
Oh, look! Ubisoft is bashing Nintendo fans, again.
Aside from "Child of Light," they can keep the rest of their games. The same with EA - if I wanted to play a barely upgraded version of last year's sport's game, I'll buy one from 2007.
After 3.5 years of living in L.A., I think it's entirely appropriate for Mercedes to have a car in this game - Mercedes owners were consistently the worst drivers on the road, and the first to run others off of it.
Great! A $45 board game! That's just awesome! #UnrealisticPricePoint
It's a good thing Nintendo is doing some promoting for this game, because Square-Enix - the studio who made the game - can't even be bothered to mention it in their weekly E-mails...two days before it's release.
It's no wonder SE's fortunes seem to be sinking. #Default
I never thought the day would come when I honest hope that Square-Enix fails as a company. If nothing else, at least this would give someone else the chance to make Dragon Quest without having to kowtow to OTHER AAA titles.
I'm not so much upset that it hasn't been released yet, as I am frustrated with Nintendo's typical lack of communication with its consumer base. They've become renowned for not addressing issues until it's well past the point where consumers care.
Nintendo is a very innovative company, but they are notoriously secretive about their plans and goings on, which breeds hostility against them. Their inability to adapt to modern gaming trends in a timely manner holds them back. While the NNID is a great first step, it's an embarrassment of riches. Why can't I have multiple consoles and handheld devices attached to my NNID? Why do I need a separate ID for each 3DS system in my household? Why do I have to contact Nintendo and hope that I can get my software back if my system fails?
Pokemon Bank/Transfer is just another example of their inability to anticipate the needs of a proper online presence and infrastructure. Hopefully, they'll get it together and start talking, but...I'm not holding my breath.
I guess I really just don't understand what the big deal is about having a second circle pad. They're rarely functional, outside of FPS games, except to change camera angles. I can count on one hand the number of times I've voluntarily made use of a right analog stick, much less felt the need for one on the DS. It's just another thing that gets in the way of buttons on a handheld.
@Obito_Tennyson That's actually pretty freakin' cheap for six hard cover game guides that generally retail at $35 a pop.
The problem is simple:
Nintendo has been loathe to jump into the 21 Century.
When everyone else started moving to a digital distribution model (for new releases), Nintendo stuck with physical;
when everyone else moved on to web-based/mobile-based purchases for later download, Nintendo stuck with console-exclusive purchases;
when everyone else moved on to cross-platform (within the same company) User IDs and multi-console purchases/downloads, Nintendo stuck with console-locked User IDs and purchases/downloads;
when everyone else moved on to HD graphics and more powerful internal specs, Nintendo stuck with specs that don't impress 3rd Party Developers (for better or worse, that's unclear);
when everyone else in the entire world moved on to consumer-friendly, user-friendly, and professionally designed websites, Nintendo stuck with an early 00s Java nightmare that's slow, glitchy, and difficult to navigate.
While I love Nintendo products dearly, as someone who works in promotional events, they really have been so far behind the curve, it's not even funny.
@The-Chosen-one EXACTLY. I may come across as a relic of bygone era, but I remember seeing Nintendo commercials on television rather frequently throughout the 80s and 90s. They had their own magazine, for Christ's sake, which they sold and destroyed. It's hard to believe that they can't figure out why it's hard to get gamers' attention when we never see a freakin' commercial in any medium, other than on their own website.
A better point to bring up is, "What, exactly, is Nintendo's overall marketing strategy?" With the release of the Wii, we saw cute commercials in the States that highlighted the Wii's uniqueness. With the Wii U? Umm...nothing. 3DS? Nothing. Upcoming games? Nothing.
I hate to tell you, Nintendo, online advertising on your own website and hoping the word of mouth will spread news about your product isn't a sufficient marketing strategy, much less one that will help you to increase movement of your product.
That's awesome! If only more American companies would follow that lead. Short-term profits are not indicative of long-term success.
Why would I buy a Wii U? Because I'm not a goshdarned 19-year-old frat brother! I am not the target demographic for ANY of the four examples of gaming franchises Pachter mentions, and honestly, neither are most of the people who purchased the Wii and Wii U. I don't enjoy Sports games, FPS games, or War games.
XBOne has their demographic - let them keep it. PS4 will very likely be the most broadly purchased console, as it has the widest selection of games. So, why would anyone buy a Wii U? Because it's a great system that doesn't specialize in games for 19-year-old douche bags.
I finally got so fed up with Nintendo's region locked nonsense that I bit the bullet and purchased a Japanese 3DS and Wii so that I could import the Dragon Quest games Square-Enix is too miserly and cheap to localize. It set me back hundreds of dollars, and the purchase of the software was even more expensive, but in the end, I played Dragon Quest VII 3DS to completion, and have taken a short break before delving back into the worlds of the Roto Trilogy.
This nonsense needs to stop.
No; he thinks that you're a troll and a twit who can't let others have their own opinions without pillorying them.
I was just having a similar conversation (to this article) the other evening:
I grew up when video games in the home were first becoming a possibility. Prior to consoles that were connected to the Internet, we got games that were complete from the moment you took them from their box and inserted them into your device, ready to be enjoyed, and capable of providing days, if not months and years, of entertainment without the need to purchase "additional content." What the games lacked in immediacy was made up by having better games that have stood the test of time.
As I've continued to play games into my thirties, I've found myself more and more frustrated by the lack of content provided by many games that are released at full retail price, only to have minimal content that must be "expanded" or supplemented by DLC.
Take, for example, Final Fantasy Theatrhythm:
I've just shelled out $39.99 for a 3DS game (at release), only to find out that, in order to unlock all of the songs that are ON the cartridge, they expect me to shell out an additional $81.47 in DLC costs? So, my $40 game suddenly costs over $120...for a 3DS game. The iOS port is even more extortive, costing $20 to purchase the app, and $143.03 to unlock the songs that are already included in the app, for a total of $163.03. All that for a game that is, truth be told, not graphically impressive enough to warrant that price tag. It's literally the cost of some handheld consoles.
To my way of thinking, this is unacceptable. Imagine if, in order to complete New Super Mario Bros. U, you had to pay $5-$10 to unlock each additional map world beyond the first in order to reach the end. This is the kind of anti-consumer behavior that sours people on the gaming industry, and forces lower income gamers to be priced out of the market.
Less troublesome, but no less irksome, for me is that the vast majority of DLC for RPG games I see on the market is absolutely worthless. $1.99 to unlock a costume for your character? This must be some kind of Japanese obsession for creating the cutest character possible, because I have never really cared enough about what my characters were wearing to make me desire to put them in a bathing suit, particularly if that outfit serves no other purpose than to...see what they'd look like in a bathing suit.
Finally, I have a firm belief that, if DLC is something that is already on the disc, it should be provided for free. I'm sorry if your production costs exceed your ability to set an acceptable initial price offering, but frankly, that's your fault. There is absolutely no excuse to offer DLC such as "Unlock 2x Experience (This DLC can be accessed via gameplay - no refunds minuscule print at the bottom of a brightly colored screen in a similarly colored, well camouflaged font) other than to make a quick buck off of lack, entitled gamers who are unwilling to do the work intended by the game's creators.
Ultimately, I believe the rise of DLC as an acceptable form of gaming transaction has been a largely bad thing for the gaming industry. Internet-connected consoles have allowed companies to update their software to fix bugs, which is good; it has also allowed them to provide incomplete or subpar products to a consumer base that is increasingly willing to accept mediocrity in place of quality if it means that the games will be ready more quickly than in years past.
@k0mmanderBlack If you don't want them, don't buy them, and stop complaining about a company that doesn't give you what you want. May I suggest XBOne?
It would be great in Square-Enix would stop releasing crappy sequels that nobody wants, and get back to releasing great games like the Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest Monsters series, as well as Bravely Default.
A linked account system between Nintendo devices MIGHT just bring them into the second decade of the 21st century. Let's also hope they decide to redesign their website.
You mean we're not going to get dozens of games that are just annual updates of their previous games with only slightly better graphics and slightly altered gameplay? WhatEVER will we do?
I don't predict good things for Microsoft's XBONE, primarily because it will completely lose the Japanese market, if not the European market, as well. The PS4 is highly popular in all three regions, and will have great success after the price drops; the XBONE, however, will really only sell well in the American market, if it sells well, at all. It's basically an overpriced CableBox One.
He is correct about losing non-traditional gamers. Nintendo is really the only company of the Big Three that is courting "gamers," in the traditional sense, and is largely eschewing the social approach taken by Sony and Microsoft. That's not a bad thing. But, it would be nice to get some more games (that weren't made prior to 2008).
@Pikachupwnage In Japan.
I wish I could have liked playing Ocarina of Time, again, but frankly, it just reminded me of why I liked the top-down design of Link to the Past, and the original NES game. In fact, I could probably say that I even liked The Adventures of Link more so than OoT, and have yet to enjoy a game with the same level of wonder and joy that I do even now, when I replay those original games.
Maybe we could get a real Dragon Quest game on the Wii U (as opposed to some nonsense MMORPG).
@Peach64 While digital downloads are not, in fact, examples of backwards compatibility, they are examples of people using their consoles to play games from previous systems, rather than to play current gen games.
Secondly, as far as consoles are concerned, yes - the PS2 and Wii are the only two backwards compatible (to the previous iteration) of the console systems (the PS3s compatibility with PS1 titles should really be counted, as well). However, if we were to include handhelds, there are myriad examples of backwards compatibility. The Gameboy Color could play Gameboy games; the GBA could play Gameboy and GBC games; the first DS could play GBA games; the 3DS can play DS games.
Currently, Nintendo and Sony are the only two companies that really have the back catalog to warrant backwards compatibility.
As far as XBOX is concerned, all of their "franchise" games are largely replaceable - they release a new version with slightly updated graphics and content almost annually - that they won't offer backwards compatibility really speaks more to the fact that they don't need to offer it.
When I bought my first Gamecube, I did so because it was bundled with classic Zelda games.
When I bought my first Wii, I did so because of the Virtual Console.
When I bought my first PS3, I did so because the PSN had come out with classic Final Fantasy games.
I am the gamer who would rather play classic games that stand up to the test of time, and have excellent replay value.
This was, and still is, my favorite Super Mario title, to date. Growing up, the music was infectious, and to this day, I still have it as my ringtone (something we'd never dreamt of until I was out of college). I will forever love this game.
Not for nothin', but frankly, if they released games worth purchasing (aside from two or three games in three months), maybe they'd get some return on their investment. Not to mention the fact that the iOS is littered with all types of games that appeal to all types of gamers. It's really not that shocking, honestly.
I DO love the 3DS XL. It is, however, high time that Nintendo cuts the crap with this region locking nonsense, particularly if they're going to keep glutting the Japanese market with dozens of special edition 3DS/3DS XL systems that will never see the light of day in Western markets, despite their likely appeal to consumers. The same should be said of their other console offerings.
Furthermore, and I can't hammer this point home, enough, Nintendo needs to welcome itself into the world of modern technology as it relates to account management. It is unconscionable, the level of disrespect they pay their customer base, locking accounts and eShop purchases to a single console, despite those purchases being linked to their accounts on the websites. It's an embarrassment.
So, I can't disagree with much of what he said in this screed.
What I CAN say is that I own a Wii U, and several 3DS systems, both of which I purchased on their launch dates.
To be honest, Nintendo has gotten exactly what it had coming to it with both of these releases. I can appreciate that Japanese gamers are, for some reason, so incredibly in tune with gaming that they barely need to do any advertising in order to sell something like hotcakes (just slap a Pikachu on it, and it'll sell millions) - but, America is not Japan.
I had pre-ordered the 3DS months in advance, as soon as the launch date was made public. A month prior to that date, most of the GameStop employees had no idea when it was coming out, and had to check the schedule to see if it had even been slated for release; a week prior to the launch, there were no ads in the stores, no ads on websites, and not a whole lot of info about it available - and I lived in Los Angeles, at the time.
The same happened with the Wii U.
Nintendo really needs to address their appalling lack of connectivity - accounts need to be linked across all of their platforms. It's not hard to implement. Get it together. They need to also address their refusal to advertise their products in any meaningful way, and stop blaming a lack of interest on the part of Americans on their own failure to get out information about their products.
Unfortunately, we live in a digital era, where we can have almost any type of media entertainment at the push of a button and the click of a mouse. Nintendo seems to be living in a world where they have no need to keep up any sort of a consistent release schedule in the way of games. Yes, we have their weekly updates to the eShop, but let's be honest - there're only so many times you can release the same game across three platforms and expect it to be a big seller; furthermore, who got excited about last week's releases? crickets
Sony, in that regard, has Nintendo beat; Microsoft does, if the only games you enjoy are Sports, FPS, and MMORPGs/WRPGs. Beyond that, it's just doesn't provide a very wide variety of offerings.
I'm amazed at how unprofessional these launches from Nintendo have been, over the past few years. The 3DS launched without games or features; the 3DS XL launched on top of ridiculously discounted 3DS systems with games included; the Wii U launched without all of its features, but with great starter games...and now, what.
It's not like Nintendo is new to this game - they've been around for over a century, and making video games from nearly 35 years. This isn't their first trip to the rodeo. They really need to have this poop together, by now, and that they don't is inexcusable, regardless of what spin Iwata wants to put on it.

Do you need a blood-glucose test? Check if you have any of the symptoms of diabetes here.
Diabetes can be treated in many different ways depending on the type of diabetes an individual has and the level of difficulty their body has at breaking down sugar.
When people think about diabetes treatments their first thought is most likely to be of insulin injections. However, for type 2 diabetes, the most common form of treatment is oral. The two main tablet treatments are:
• Sulfonylureas
• Metformin
These drugs work by helping the pancreas to produce insulin, keeping a person's blood sugar levels down.
A newer oral treatment for type 2 diabetes is now available called glitazones, which works by increasing the effect insulin has within the body, so less insulin is needed to manage blood-glucose levels
For people suffering with diabetes, the advice given by healthcare professionals is to:
• Take the drugs prescribed by their doctor as often as they need to
• Monitor blood-glucose levels regularly by testing urine or, more commonly, testing the blood with a pin prick test read by a meter. Regularly testing at different points during the day is most effective in monitoring the level of sugar present in the blood.
If a diabetic's blood sugar starts to drift into abnormal levels it is vital that they visit their GP or diabetic clinic immediately. Tight control over blood sugar levels is essential for managing diabetes. Do not wait.

- " Michael, it's Irish owner, is the the only reason you will want to stay here. Unfortunatelly, Hotel Patrick is very far from Isla Margarita's main cities and JuanGriego is by far, not one of the great beaches in the island. There are very few facilites, it's a hostel and not a hotel. Surroundings are strange and poor, you won't find good places to eat and transportation is complicated. However, Michael is quite a character and takes cares of you as if you were his children. "
