Yes, only(?) ca. 430USDIs this machine really worth buying? This machine has some good reviews but I'm still wonderingI have never owned a Singer ( I'm a (mechanical)Bernina guy) so this maybe my first Singer
The price is 399� - 15% personnel discount = 339�. Should I buy it or not?
The Singer machines as of late are suppose to be much better sewers & hold up better. Do you like the way it sews? That is the main thing. On Amazon it is $299.95 US price today , 7/2/12.
Do you like the way it looks too? And it comes with a full warranty too??? ..... If the answer is yes to all of these I might be very tempted .
Also bumping up for more responses.

Here comes the big 60! OH MY!
The sewing workers are:
Hello Kitty Kate (green), Hello Kitty Valerie (computerized), Dottie Kenmore, Bubba Kenmore the traveler,has case does travel.
Be still and Know that I AM God +
I think it really depends on your overall budget and what you need in a sm. If you've tried the machine and you like what it can do, then go for it.
But if you haven't tried it out and you have a list of things you want to be able to do, you might hold out and buy a used machine that has more features.
I have a Singer Curvy 8763 which is a lower-end model of this line. It's not bad, but definitely not great either. Of course, it is a cheaper machine than the one you're looking at buying, but I just really prefer my Brother or Janome.
Just my .02 cents!

A Tycoon for Our Times?
Samuelson, Robert J., Newsweek
Why Americans can't seem to decide whether they should love or hate Microsoft's Bill Gates
The real drama of the antitrust suit against mi- crosoft--the contest that truly holds our attention--has little to do with software, the Internet or browser wars. It has everything to do with social standing and repu-tation. It also amounts to an argument about America, because it poses messy questions about our history and values. Only a few years ago Bill Gates and Microsoft were widely (though not universally) celebrated as symbols of Americans' ability to pioneer and popularize new technology. Now they are widely (though hardly universally) stigmatized as outlaws whose immense fortunes stem from vicious and illegal competition. Which is it?
Whatever the courts ultimately decide will address this larger question and, in the process, either bless Gates's success or brand him as a national delinquent. Microsoft isn't simply resisting antitrust charges. It is also waging a campaign for public approval. For many computer executives, the issue is already settled. They see Gates as an unchastened bully who will attack his rivals by almost any available means. But among the wider public the question remains open, and not merely because Microsoft's customers and stockholders are fairly satisfied.
It stays open because it touches our confused feelings about the dogged pursuit of material gain and wealth. By and large, Americans regard earned wealth--even massive piles of it totaling billions of dollars--as a badge of success. One reason is that getting rich affirms our faith in hard work and individual opportunity. A 1996 CBS News poll asked: "Do you think it's possible to start out poor in this country, work hard and become rich?" The answer: yes, 78 percent; no, 18 percent. People also think the wealthy provide jobs and investment. In 1992, a poll asked whether "the country would be better off or worse off if we had no rich people." Only 21 percent thought it would be better off.
But too much wealth is also suspect. "Americans think society now places too much emphasis on money," write public-opinion analysts Everett Carll Ladd and Karlyn Bowman in "Attitudes Towards Economic Inequality" (from which all this survey data is drawn). In 1992, about two thirds of Americans thought the rich used "their wealth mostly to protect their positions in society." And most Americans do not think money buys happiness. A 1996 Gallup poll asked, "If you had your choice, would you want to be rich?" Almost 40 percent said no. In another poll, 80 percent said they would not sacrifice most family time to be rich.
Our ambivalence toward wealth rises with the amount. By the time we reach the super-rich--say, anyone with $1 billion--we are totally muddled. American Heritage magazine recently listed the 40 richest Americans ever. The list, compiled by Robert Gunther and Michael Klepper as an update to their 1996 book "The Wealthy 100," compares people's wealth to the economy when they lived. Their wealth is then converted with present dollars by assuming an identical relationship today. The top five are:
1. John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937): $190 billion, oil. …

Labor farce disguises O'Farrell's mediocrity
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 27, 2012
WE are nearly halfway into the first term of the O'Farrell state government. And it's not all going swimmingly.
We have a Premier who seems to struggle to make a decision without a review, a Treasurer who stumbled in adequately explaining how the government lost $1 billion in the budget result, a Transport Minister who keeps announcing big plans without any money to fund them and an Education Minister who says he can "sleep at night" despite making $1.7 billion in education cuts.
Oh, and we have an Attorney-General who wants to soften bail and sentencing laws while drive-by shootings occur.
But none of this matters thanks to Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald and the ICAC.
It is rare to see a government which can act under less stress about daily headlines than this mob. Labor has done the hard work for them. And continues to.
Last week a cab driver and regular Telegraph reader summed it up to me thus: "They don't have to do anything because we had 16 years of Labor."
The bar then is pretty low for O'Farrell. All he has to do is keep his government clean and he will canter away in another landslide. That hasn't always proven easy - he's had his share of scandals - but they pale when compared to Labor's misdeeds, both alleged and proven. In 7 1/2 years of knowing O'Farrell, I can honestly say I cannot recall him espousing a vision for the state; ever mentioning a great idea he wanted to put forward.
Ever saying: I need to win office because it is so important for the state we do this or that.
Maybe he's just being poker-faced. But I struggle to identify the man's core beliefs.
This should be no surprise by the way. I wrote on election day: "The pressure internally on O'Farrell will come from his deputy premier Andrew Stoner, his treasurer Mike Baird, his transport minister Gladys Berejiklian and likely finance minister Greg Pearce, who will be on the new premier's back to reform the state."
Think about what the Premier has advanced: A West Connex (Infrastructure NSW and The Daily Telegraph's campaign), a second casino (an idea from James Packer), asset sales to pay for infrastructure (recommendations of an audit and the Tamberlin inquiry). He did put forward the North West Rail Link but even that has been changed to an "all change at Chatswood" service.
The Premier is a man who knows how to read the nimbyism of sections of the electorate perfectly. Educated by his old job of Liberal Party state director, he knows how to make decisions based on compromise so as not to lose too many votes.
He's the focus group consultant's dream. It's got me thinking of that quote from George Megalogenis: "Today, a politician is more likely to begin a chat with the question: 'How do you think we are going?' Hawke, Keating and Howard Mark I would always start by telling you where they were going."
Even though I have been harshly critical of Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian, at least she's having a crack at reform. Likewise Treasurer Mike Baird. But they are also often saved by Barry O'Farrell, because he is so much more politically experienced than them and can rescue them when they stumble.
The Premier lives for politics, but not policy. This has also translated to his office where he surrounds himself with young political apparatchiks instead of great policy brains. They are almost miniature Barrys - competent, not spectacular. This contrasts with where the Premier by and large appears to have been quite good with his appointments - the public service.
But where the Premier stars is in the parliament. O'Farrell takes questions like he is swatting away flies. He is so impressive in his debating ability that he makes the opposition look idiotic. He can convince you that black is white so emphatically that you wonder why you ever doubted him.
His performance has a rhythm which can only be borne from years and years of parliamentary debate, with the points made at exactly the right times. Perhaps that is why O'Farrell chooses to remain in his office in parliament rather than move with his staff into Governor Macquarie's Tower. Perhaps that is why he is most comfortable in oppositionist mode when attacking Labor.
But O'Farrell and his team would be wise not to become complacent. Earlier this month when the ICAC was really blowing up, Labor's general secretary Sam Dastyari got a call from the Defence Minister Stephen Smith, who knew all about scandal-ridden governments from his time as WA Labor secretary. Smith wanted Dastyari to keep his chin up and know there was a way back.
The WA example is a good one. Richard Court won office in 1993 in the wake of the WA Inc scandal which led to the jailing of premier Brian Burke and deputy David Parker, but still lost office in eight years to Geoff Gallop.
To run for office on an anti-corruption platform places higher standards on a new government. And policy issues and fixing people's problems eventually trumps the role allegations of corruption play in voters' minds.
There is talk around that some in the government have not learnt a great deal from the Grimshaw Star casino scandal, in which a rogue staffer went on a mission against his former employer using a taxpayer-funded position.
There seems to be a blind spot in this government encouraged by the attitude of the Premier: It's never their fault, it's the media's fault or an opponent's fault. And they believe they can never be at fault anyway, because no matter what they do they could never match the ill deeds of Labor.
They would do well to lose the blind spot. As I travelled along with that cabbie, we got stuck in yet another one of Sydney's well-known traffic jams. "I guess the state's fixed," he quipped.

Professional background[edit]
Azarcon first started playing bass during the early 90s with punk funk rock band, Bazurak. They covered songs from Sex Pistols, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Ramones. The members included Junji Lerma, guitar player for Radioactive Sago Project; Richard Recto on vocals; Paolo Lerma on drums; J John Valencia on guitars; and Mark Escueta on drums.
Rivermaya (1994–2001)[edit]
In 1993, Rivermaya was formed by PR practitioner Lizza Nakpil and film director Chito Roño, who planned on developing a musical group into a rock/show band. The band was originally formed under the name Xaga.
The band evolved through a series of line-ups that included Azarcon on bass, Rico Blanco on keyboards and Perfecto de Castro on guitars. The initial drummer was replaced by former Bazurak bandmate and childhood friend, Mark Escueta, while school mate Francisco Bamboo Mañalac came on board as lead vocals. The band was managed by Nakpil and Roño.
With Mañalac as frontman, the band members decided to disband Xaga and reestablish the band as "Rivermaya" in 1994. They started developing original songs like "Ulan" (Rain), "214", and "Awit ng Kabataan" (Song of the Youth) in demo form for prospective recording companies. They were quickly signed to the Sony BMG Philippines label.
Rivermaya (album)[edit]
By November 1994, the band had released their first album, the self-titled Rivermaya. Their first single, "Ulan", written by Azarcon and Blanco, shot to the top of the charts. Their second and third singles "Awit ng Kabataan" and "214" were the first songs to have a melodic bass interlude, which would soon become an Azarcon staple. The album was released on the Sony BMG Philippines label and was certified triple platinum. Critically praised for its fresh, excitingly new pop/rock sound, the album went on to become one of the Philippine's best musical recordings of the 1990s.
In 1996, the band's second album Trip, was released by Sony BMG Philippines and was certified quadruple platinum. Singles from the album included "Kisapmata" [Blink of an Eye], "Himala" [Miracle], and "Panahon Na Naman" [Here Comes the Season], "Princess of Disguise", and "Flowers". The songs "Sunog" and "Is It Sunny Where You Are?" were written by Azarcon and Blanco.
The single "Himala" included a rare, nylon-string guitar solo by Azarcon. He also showcased his further musical growth on the funky finger style, pop and slap heavy "Is It Sunny Where You Are". His use of the root third and fifth, as well as the double stops on the hit single "Himala", complimented Blanco's guitar playing and Escueta's drum accents.
Atomic Bomb[edit]
In 1997, the band released its third album, Atomic Bomb, with the single "Hinahanap-Hanap Kita" [Always Searching For You]. Other singles included "Elesi", "If", and "Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo". A funkier and playfully melodic Azarcon can be heard on stand out tracks such as "Hinahanap-Hanap Kita" and "Sunny Days". The album showcases Azarcon's increasingly active song writing on the hit songs "If" and "Luha". He also wrote "Saturday (Bakit Ako?)" and "Tea For Two".
The album received positive response from listeners and received heavy airplay from radio stations. During this period, Rivermaya also released the Rivermaya Remixed album, produced with the help of DJ Toti Dalmacion of Groove Nation.
With the growing international success of the band, combined with a tour in the United States and Canada, Mañalac decided to leave the band and remain in Los Angeles with his family.
It's Not Easy Being Green[edit]
In 1999, after Mañalac's departure, Blanco took on lead vocals, and Rivermaya released their fourth album on the Sony BMG Philippines label. Singles from It's Not Easy Being Green included "Nerbyoso" [Nervous Man], "Shattered Like", and "Rodeo". The album also included four songs written by Azarcon, including "May Kasalanan", "Prodigal Dub 1 & 2", "She's So Uncool", and "Homecoming".
In 2000, Rivermaya released their fifth album, entitled Free. After a falling out with their long-time label, the band chose to distribute the album to listeners free-of-charge on the Internet, a first for a Filipino artist. The release was subsequently honored as Album of the Year during the NU Rock Awards 2000.[1] In 2006, Filipino journalist Erwin Romulo of The Philippine Star wrote that Free is "Arguably one of the greatest albums in Pinoy rock history."[2]
Pinikpikan (1998–2002)[edit]
In 1998, Azarcon started his apprenticeship under Sammy Asuncion, guitar player of Pinoy funk-reggae-rock band Spy and ethnic rock group Pinikpikan, a group renowned for reinventing musical pieces using indigenous tribal instruments. Notable members include Grace Nono, Rene "chong" Tengasantos and Bob Aves. Azarcon under the moniker "Elqpal", fit well with the band's ethno-tribal rhythms.
In 2000, the band released their album Atas on the Tropical Records label, a subsidiary of A&M Records. The recording won the Philippine's 2001 Katha Music Award for Album of the Year, Best World Song, and Best Performance for "Kalipay". Other standout tracks on the album include "Aumoon", "Salidumay", and "Singkilan".
Kapatid (2002–2003)[edit]
Kapatid (lit. English: sibling) came together through an informal gathering of friends with diverse musical talents in other bands. The original lineup included Karl Roy of Advent Call and P.O.T.; Marinito "J-hoon" Balbuena of Kjwan; Ira Cruz previously of Passage; Azarcon; and Chico Molina.[3]
In 2002, the band went on to release their debut album "Edsa 524". The album contains the singles "Pagbabalik Ng Kwago", "I like it like this", and "Visions". The band split apart rather quickly, with a couple of members leaving for other bands under less than amicable circumstances. Roy later stated of the breakup, "There was lots of talk about brotherhood and respect and the joy of playing music together. Unfortunately, things didn't turn that way. The band split apart rather quickly, as a couple of members left for another band, under less than amicable circumstances. First, Ira left, and then Nathan followed, and the two eventually hooked up with Bamboo."[3]
Bamboo (2003–2011)[edit]
In 2003, after living in Los Angeles following the Rivermaya tour in America, Mañalac returned to the Philippines. Azarcon introduced Mañalac to Cruz and Vic Mercado (drums) and together, they formed a band.
As the Music Plays[edit]
In February 2004, Bamboo released their debut album, As the Music Plays. The album was certified Double Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI). A double-disc repackaged edition was released in 2005.
The first single from the album, "Noypi" (a slang term meaning "Filipino"), was a rock anthem that captivated the hearts of the youth and sparked patriotism in the Philippines. The album contains ten tracks, with three in Tagalog, namely: "Noypi", "Hudas", and "Masaya". The initial release of the album used a white cover, while a second black-cover release later in the year contained six bonus tracks and three video clips of "Noypi", "Masaya", and "Mr. Clay".
The album was honored at the AWIT Awards, NU Rock Awards, and MTV Pilipinas Music Awards. The Awit Awards honored them as the Best Performance of a New Duo or Group Recording Artists for their performance of "Noypi". The song was also honored as Best Rock Recording of the Year and People's Choice Favorite Song of the Year. Bamboo received the MTV Award for Favorite New Artist in a Video, Favorite Group Video, and Favorite Song for "Noypi". The NU Rock Awards honored the band with the awards for Listener's Choice, Song of the Year, and Band of the Year. Mercado was additionally honored as Best Drummer, while Mañalac was recognized as Best Vocalist.
Rumors circulating the Pinoy rock scene were rampantly claiming that Karl Roy wrote "Noypi" (originally as a reggae song) and that Azarcon stole the song from him. The truth about the recording was offered in a 2008 interview with Karl Roy, presented in Rogue Magazine.
Nathan had originally written the megahit rock anthem "Noypi" for Kapatid, but Karl didn't like it. "It takes a while for me to like a song," Karl explains, and to this day, he regrets not paying enough attention to what Nathan was doing.[3]
The album was honored at the AWIT Awards, NU Rock Awards, and MTV Pilipinas Music Awards. The band also won Awit Awards for Best Performance of a New Duo or Group Recording Artists for their performance of "Noypi". The song was also honored as Best Rock Recording of the Year and People's Choice Favorite Song of the Year. the band also received the MTV Award for Favorite New Artist in a Video, Favorite Group Video, and Favorite Song for "Noypi". The NU Rock Awards honored the band with the awards for Listener's Choice, Song of the Year, and Band of the Year.
Light Peace Love[edit]
In 2005, Bamboo released their second album, Light Peace Love. The album received the Awit Award for Album of the Year. The album was certified Platinum by PARI.
The song "Much Has Been Said" received the award for Best Ballad of the Year, while the song "Hallelujah" was honored with the 2006 Awit Award for People's Choice as Favorite Song and Best Rock Recording. The song "Hallelujah" was released prior to the actual release of the album, becoming an instant hit and winning the 2006 Awit Award for People's Choice as Favorite Song and Best Rock Recording.
In addition to rock, the band incorporated a variety of styles including rap or scat-style singing, as well as a gospel music theme on the song "Alpha Beta Omega". In 2006, the band was honored at the MTV Pilipinas Music Awards for Best Cinematography in a Video for the song "Much Has Been Said".
We Stand Alone Together[edit]
In 2007, Bamboo released their third album, We Stand Alone Together. The album is a double disc recording package of revived cover songs. The album also includes a cover of Sting's "Englishman in New York", presented as a hidden track.
Among the cover songs included on the album are Buklod's "Tatsulok" and Anak Bayan's "Probinsyana" from Anak Bayan, Pearl Jam's "Alive", and Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover". It also includes bonus tracks like unplugged versions of their hit songs from previous albums such as "Mr. Clay", "These Days", and "Hallelujah". "Tatsulok" and "Probinsyana" were released as singles and became hits on local radio.
In 2008, the Awit Awards honored "Tatsulok" with the awards for Best Performance by a Group Recording Artist and Best Rock Song. "Probinsyana" received the awards for Best Musical Arrangement, Best Engineered Recording, and Music Video of the Year. NU Rock Awards recognized the band as the Best Live Act. The album was certified Gold by PARI.
Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday and breakup[edit]
The band's Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday album was certified Platinum status on 28 September 2008 – two days after its release. The album consists of ten tracks with the lead-off single "Kailan". The title of the album came from the phrase of the fifth track, "Little Child".
Hits from Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday include "Last Days on a Cruise Ship (Don't Wait For Tomorrow)" and "Probinsyana". The 2008 Awit Awards honored "Probinsyana" as Best Musical Arrangement, Best Engineered Recording, and Music Video of the Year. The NU Rock Awards recognized "Last Days on a Cruise Ship" as Music Video of the Year.
In January 2011, News had been circulating that Bamboo has allegedly disbanded. DJ KC Montero of Wave 89.1 confirmed the breakup on Wave's The KC Show and via Twitter.
Montero clarified that all the members of the band "have decided to move on," and that he does not know why they called it quits. The group has not released an official statement on the issue, according to ABS-CBNNews.com.
Bamboo's lead vocalist Francisco "Bamboo" Mañalac finally confirmed the breakup of his band in an official statement posted before midnight of 11 January on the group's website.
Nathan stated in an interview that it is only Bamboo Mañalac who decided to disband and never really talked about it with the bandmates. As of right now Nathan and Bamboo is not in good terms with each other. Azarcon posted many bash status in his Facebook account against Mañalac and some other bands.
Hijo (2011)[edit]
Three months after the breakup of Bamboo, Azarcon, Cruz and Mercado reunited to form the band "Hijo" [pronounced as ee'-ho] (a Spanish word that pertains to a male human offspring or a son). The new band is composed of Nathan Azarcon on vocals and bass, Ira Cruz on guitar, and Vic Mercado on drums. The band also includes Junji Lerma on guitar and Jay-O Orduna on keyboard synthesizer and backing vocals.[4] They performed their first gig at Route 196 on 16 April 2011. In 2012, Orduna was replaced by Wowee Posadas to play keyboards and provide backing vocals. Years after Hijo was formed, other band members left the band and left Azarcon as the sole member. Azarcon posted on his Facebook account that new members will be introduced in 2015 [5] However, in 2015, Azarcon, Cruz, and Lerma reunited while Posadas haven't returned and drummer Vic Mercado was replaced with Paolo Manuel. The band's music influence and genre is described by critics as "alternative metal" however the band rather label themselves as "Kung-Fu rock". In 2010 Nathans brother Nick Azarcon left his band Sinosikat? Nathans former bandmate Ira Cruz became the new guitarist for Sinosikat?. Nathan posted teasers of his new band called Disband w/c features Bea Lao of General Luna as the drummer. Nathan posted on Facebook that instead of renaming the band it will still be Hijo but Hijo 2.0.

"But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved." - Matthew 24:13
"I was prepared to eat bitterness when I went to China, but not to eat loss," said Mabel Williamson. "Eating bitterness" symbolized suffering and hardship. "Eating loss" meant giving up the right to one's self. Jesus warns that following Him is risky living by worldly standards. Real discipleship means "eating loss," taking up your cross, dying to self. This is the secret to endurance. Mabel Williamson, Hudson Taylor and many other nameless "China hands" found the secret, endured to the "end"—which means "purpose"—and saw the promise of God. The Gospel is spreading so fast in China now that it could become the center of global Christianity!

The boys from Sherlock Holmes were in attendance at UFC 120 this past Saturday, taking in a few fights while enjoying a break from the production of their upcoming sequel. No doubt there was some friendly posturing going on between the three superstars, as Robert Downey Jr. is the only American in the group, while Jude Law and Guy Ritchie are both very, very British.
At one point, during the first round of the co-main event between Dan Hardy and Carlos Condit, the patriotic divide between the three entertainers appeared to reach it's breaking point. Late in the round, right after Condit landed a punishing left hook that dropped his British opponent, RDJ is seen leaping from his seat and celebrating the American's victory in the middle of a stunned O2 arena.
Then, as referee Dan Miragliotta is jumping in to stop the fight, we see Downey Jr. look down at (the still seated) Law and Ritchie with a big ol' American grin on his face.
Sadly, we weren't able to see the (what we could only imagine to be) looks of horror on the faces of the other two, as one of their fellow countrymen laid sprawled out on the canvass.

Video: Laurinaitis recognizes a challenge
James Laurinaitis decided to skip the NFL draft for a year to play in a big game like this. Sure, it is not for the BCS Championship game but there is still plenty to play for against Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.COLUMBUS -
Laurinaitis and his fellow group of seniors have shattered several records during their time in the Scarlet and Gray but they would like to bring home a big bowl win after dropping the last two in the title game.
Ohio State's senior linebacker is excited for the challenge but he also knows that this is an excellent Texas team that they will face and knows that it will take a total team best effort.
Laurinaitis met with the local media after the games were announced and gave his initial thoughts about this game between two to collegiate powerhouses.
Laurinaitis knows Texas will be a challenge

Will Gestational Diabetes Affect the Baby?
by Dean on February 1, 2015
There are certain gestational diabetes complications that every pregnant mother should be aware of, however, those complications generally can be managed and prevented. The most important key to prevent it is by closely monitoring the blood sugar levels from the beginning after the gestational diabetes is diagnosed.
Different to the type I diabetes, generally this gestational diabetes will not cause any defects to the birth. It is because usually birth defects will only occur among the pregnancy first trimester. And in the gestational diabetes case, mostly the hormones that develop insulin resistance will be developed by placenta around the 24th week of the pregnancy. That is why, in many cases, most pregnant mothers will not see any increasing on their blood sugar level during their first trimester.
Usually the most common problem among gestational diabetic women is something that is used to known as macrosomia. Macro means big, and in this case, it is a condition where the baby has larger body then normal. How come the baby has bigger body then normal?
We know that the fetus receives all the required nutrition directly from the mother's blood. And if the mother has gestational diabetes, it means her blood contains higher glucose levels. In this level, the fetus will receive higher sugar input from his mother, then its pancreas will try to produce more insulin to be able to process this high sugar intake and transform it into fat. In other words, the high glucose supply from the mother combined with the increasing fetus insulin levels will create larger fat deposits. That is why the baby has larger body then normal.
While this condition (large body) will not really affect the fetus condition, it will make the birth process become more difficult. In most cases the birth have to be done with cesarean since normal birth is too difficult. We can do some check up and tests to know whether the fetus is macrosomic or not. It can be by some physical examinations, but mostly it is using ultrasound test to make a measurement about the fetus size.
Besides developing the macrosomia condition to the fetus, there is another gestational diabetes risk to the baby. As we know earlier, the baby receives a constant high glucose supplies from the mother that will lead to the high levels of insulin in the fetus body. When the baby birth, it still has high insulin levels but there is no more high sugar supply from the mother. This will result the new baby born has a very low blood sugar level. In other words, the gestational diabetes can increase the hypoglycemia risk to the baby.
If you suffer gestational diabetes, it is suggested to check your baby blood sugar levels after the birth. If the level is too low, probably the baby will need a special treatment to manage the blood sugar into normal.
Don't worry too much about it since actually all of those risks can be managed and prevented. What you need to do to prevent it is by pay a close attention to your blood sugar levels as soon as you are diagnosed to have gestational diabetes. With simply maintain your blood sugar levels on the normal levels, you can prevent the gestational diabetes to affect your pregnancy and baby condition.

Cobras: a new Snake Game About Cobra Snakes – Fun NEW Online interactive reading games for Kids
"COBRAS", is a NEW interactive "snakes game" especially made as a kids game for Kobo– Your solution to helping your child learn are these online interactive reading games for kindergarten and up. Our quiz book for kids is a great way for your children to learn and retain this information and very important facts about snakes.
So what is the best way for a child to learn and retain information without getting bored or zoning out and glazing over these very important facts about snakes?
The answer: "Quiz books"! That's right – "COBRAS: Trivia Quiz Game about Cobra Snakes" is an online interactive reading game all about snakes.
Why is this quiz book for kids better than a regular eBook on Snakes or Cobras?
• This is a very fun snakes game that your child can become involved in.
• It's much easier for your child to learn through a cool reading game like this.
• Online interactive reading games are just what he/she needs to make learning interesting.
• These educational snake pictures will stimulate your child and keep him interested!
• Our interactive reading games for kids will help them to understand poisonous snakes and other facts about snakes such as types of snakes, what snakes eat, dangerous snakes, deadly snakes, biggest snakes, and especially the Cobra and King Cobra snake.
As a parent, you know that today's kids prefer playing games online to going outside and playing with their friends. They live on the computer, their smart phones, E-readers, etc. But try to educate them in school with teachers and you'd think they suddenly got ADD. So how can you get your child interested in a subject and pay attention long enough to learn important facts, about things like….well, deadly snakes for example?
Most adults already know about venomous snakes, but not many children have learned about poisonous snakes yet. Cobras are deadly snakes and in fact one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. So the challenge you face is exposing your child to the harsh realities of venomous snakes and reptiles without traumatizing them.
You certainly don't want your child to have horrible recurring nightmares about venomous snakes and King Cobras, so it's a balancing act between making sure they retain this information about snakes without terrifying them at the same time. The priority you must have is helping your child to learn about snakes without scaring them to death and forever fearing the Cobra snake venom and other dangerous snakes.
Download "COBRAS", our new kids game for Kobo NOW and your child can be having fun learning all about Cobra snakes minutes from now!

A few years ago, the editors of Guitar World compiled what we feel is the ultimate guide to the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.
The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, websites and publications around the world, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (100) and builds to a truly epic finish with Jimmy Page's solo on "Stairway to Heaven" (01).
To quote our "Stairway to Heaven" story that ran with the list, "If Jimmy Page is the Steven Spielberg of guitarists, then 'Stairway' is his Close Encounters."
On June 10, we kicked off a summer blockbuster of our own — a no-holds-barred six-string shootout. We pitted Guitar World's top 64 guitar solos against each other in an NCAA-style, 64-team single-elimination tournament. Every day, we asked you to cast your vote in a different guitar-solo matchup as dictated by the 64-team-style bracket. Now Rounds 1 and 2 have come and gone, leaving us with 16 guitar solos and eight matchups.
So ...
WELCOME TO THE SWEET 16 ROUND, where all 16 still-standing solos will go head to head before your eyes! As always, you can vote once per matchup, and the voting ends as soon as the next matchup is posted.
In some cases, genre will clash against genre; a thrash solo might compete against a Southern rock solo. But please get real, people! They're all guitar solos, played on guitars, by guitarists, most of them in some subset of the umbrella genre of rock. When choosing, it might have to come down to, "Which solo is more original and creative? Which is more iconic or important? or Which one kicks a larger, more impressive assemblage of asses?"
Latest Sweetwater Sweet 16 Results
Winner: "Eruption" (59.41 percent)
Loser: "Little Wing" (40.59 percent)
Today's Sweetwater Sweet 16 Matchup (6 of 8)
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" Vs. "Whole Lotta Love"
Today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday), we'll see Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (11) go head to head with Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" (38), which features a guitar solo by Jimmy Page. Both Jims started off with multiple solos in our Sweet 16, but now that "Little Wing" was defeated by "Eruption" over the weekend, "Voodoo Child" is Hendrix's last gasp in our poll. If things go south for Page in this matchup, he still has "Stairway to Heaven" to rely on — and let's not forget the upcoming battle between Page's "Since I've Been Loving You" and Randy Rhoads' "Mr. Crowley."
• "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" defeated Smashing Pumpkins' "Geek USA" (54) in Round 1 and Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing" (22) in Round 2.
• "Whole Lotta Love" defeated Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy" (27) in Round 1 and Guns N' Roses' "November Rain" (06) in Round 2.
Get busy! You'll find the poll at the very bottom of the story.
11. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"
Soloist: Jimi Hendrix
Album: The Jimi Hendrix Experience—Electric Ladyland (Experience Hendrix/MCA, 1968)
Jimi Hendrix's publicist, Michael Goldstein, had successfully arranged for ABC-TV to produce a short news feature based primarily on the Experience's triumphant success in America. Filming began on May 3, 1968, with 16mm cameras capturing the recording of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," which, like many Hendrix songs, borrowed both musical and lyrical themes from Muddy Waters and other Delta bluesmen.
" 'Voodoo Child' was something Jimi brought in, and we learned that song right on the spot in front of the cameras," recalls bassist Noel Redding. "We ran through it about three times, and that was it."
It is not known whether ABC ever used any of the footage. And, unfortunately, all the camera originals were stolen from ABC's archives sometime after Jimi's death. The reel also included footage of the group performing at the Fillmore East and the Miami Pop Festival.
Engineer Eddie Kramer recalls: " 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' was recorded the day after Jimi tracked 'Voodoo Chile,' the extended jam on Electric Ladyland featuring Traffic's Stevie Winwood on organ and Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady. Basically, Jimi used the same setup—his Strat through a nice, warm Fender Bassman amp. Jimi's sound on both tracks is remarkably consistent, leading some to think they were recorded at the same session."
38. "Whole Lotta Love"
Soloist: Jimmy Page
Album: Led Zeppelin—Led Zeppelin II (Atlantic, 1969)
"I used distant miking to get that rhythm guitar tone," says Jimmy Page. "Miking used to be a science, and I'd heard that distance makes depth, which in turn gives you a fatter guitar sound. The amp was turned up very high. It was distorting, just controlled to the point where it had some balls to it. I also used a depressed wah-wah pedal on the solo, as I did on 'Communication Breakdown.'
"It gets you a really raucous sound. The descending riff that answers the line 'whole lotta love' was created using slide and backward echo. Backward echo has been used a lot now, but I think I was the first to use it."
[[ When you're done voting, start learning most of the guitar solos in this poll — and and a whole lot more! Check out a new TAB book from Guitar World and Hal Leonard: 'The 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time: A Treasure Trove of Guitar Leads Transcribed Note-for-Note, Plus Song Notes for More Than 40 of the Best Solos.' It's available now at the Guitar World Online Store for $29.99. NOTE: Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" guitar solo (solo number 39 on our list) is NOT included in this book. ]]

Forgive my naivete, but when I read about riders stopping at a controle point during the PBP Brevet and eating lunch/getting a cup of coffee/etc......are the riders paying for this, or is this included w/ the registration? I really haven't read a ride report that specifically said "we bought lunch at the control," or something like that. Most of them read "we got lunch at the control."
I'm assuming that you have to pay, since the registration fee doesn't seen high enough to cover all the logistics, organization AND food, but I wasn't sure.
Also, what sort of spare parts are available? Tubes, CO2, batteries???

Phospho-Ras-GRF1 (Ser916) Antibody #3321
PhosphoSitePlus® protein, site, and accession data: RASGRF1
|100 µl (10 western blots)
|In Stock
|carrier free and custom formulation / quantity
|email request
|Transfected Only
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot.
Applications Key: W=Western Blotting
- 3321:
- Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Ras-GRF1 (Ser916) Antibody detects transfected levels of Ras-GRF1 only when phosphorylated at serine 916. This antibody does not cross-react with phosphorylated Ras-GRF2.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding serine 916 of mouse Ras-GRF1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from COS cells, untransfected (lane 1) or transfected with either wild-type (lanes 2 and 3) or Ala916 mutant (lanes 4 and 5) Ras-GRF1, using Phospho-Ras-GRF1 (Ser916) Antibody (upper) or Ras-GRF1 Antibody #3322 (lower). Transfected COS cells were untreated or treated forskolin as indicated.(Triple HA-tagged Ras-GRF1 expressing plasmids provided by Dr. R. Mattingly, Dept. of Pharmacology, Wayne State University, Michigan.)
Ras activity is regulated by GAP (GTPase activating proteins) and GEFs (guanine nucleotide exchange factors). Ras-GRF1 (also known as CDC25Mm) is neuronal RasGEF and is regulated by heterotrimeric G proteins and calcium influx (1,2). Binding to calmodulin and phosphorylation stimulate Ras-GRF1 activity (1,2). Multiple PKA phosphorylation sites on Ras-GRF have been identified. Phosphorylation on the two major sites, Ser54 and Ser822, inhibits Ras-GRF activity (3). Carbachol (a muscarinic agonist)-induced phosphorylation on Ser916 is essential but not sufficient for maximal Ras-GRF activity (4). It has been reported that Ras-GRF1 also shows GEF activity toward Rac after phosphorylation by the tyrosine kinase Src (5).

Preliminary photographs and Twitter updates from the 2015 Nome-Golovin Snowmachine Race.
On his 32nd Iditarod, pulling into Huslia, Martin Buser reassesses his team and his race: "If I make this race so important that I compromise my values, then I'm a loser. That's what I don't want to happen."
Meet a few of the racers of Nome-Golovin 2015.
Nome-Golovin 2015 starts today at 12noon. Follow the race with KNOM: on-air (96.1 FM, 780 AM), on social media (#NomeGLV), and with updates on this website later on Saturday.
"I'm too old for this crap," Chuck Schaeffer says. On the Yukon, Schaeffer and Richie Diehl talk about the sometimes-rough trail to Ruby, Galena, and beyond.
"Shocked" to be first into Huslia, Aaron Burmeister basks in the checkpoint's hospitality. Happy to see his sick team feeling healthy again, he turns his sights to the coast.
In photos: the 119 mile trail run from Tanana to Ruby, and along the way, an oasis: the Kokrine Bible Camp.
On the Yukon this week, some of Iditarod's top competitors were striving to keep competitive by keeping the focus on dog care.
In photos: Looking back at Manley Hot Springs, and the trail into Tanana, mushers enjoyed some sunshine, offering a small respite from cold temperatures.
Despite a grueling run down the Yukon, Ruby was just a pit stop for most mushers. Iditarod teams pressed on to Galena or even to Huslia, where Aaron Burmeister arrived first.

In the bay (cali), you see it but it's not common at all. It's like finding Waldo. You mainly see Asian dudes w/ (surprise)... Asian women.. and most probably the ones that a white nukkah didn't want. Asian men are still seen as the brains in the back room making the white man money.... and Asian females know this... It's changing but that's how it is for now... And 'some' Asian women can are all about climbing that status ladder ... As such, Asian dudes are still catching L's.no feelings caught but I find it impossibly hard to believe living in cali (esp LA-bay area) and NY u never seen an asian du with a white girl
thats like going to a rap concert and saying you never seen a rachet hoe
Also of note, you actually see lots of diversity of interracial relationships in Toronto. Asian guys w/ white chicks.. black... spanish.. french... White guys w/ a diversity of chicks.. black guys .. etc .. I attribute it to Toronto being a young city of Immigrants where those prejudices don't have time to manifest. I'd imagine you see a lot more diversity of relationships in NY too for that reason.. But yeah, I most definitely saw no particular dominant trend in Toronto and I thought it was great.

They speak at community events and conduct educational sessions, as well as give tours to interested individuals and provide accurate information regarding existing programs. Social services directors arrange social services appointments for family members based on eligibility. They motivate social services staff to reach all organizational goals. In all tasks, the director must follow strict privacy and safety regulations.Read More...

The social services director develops effective integration strategies for residents, implements care plans, keeps accurate records, and maintains ongoing quality measurement. Social services directors assist with financial-planning alternatives. They also create documentation for future reference regarding social service programs and initiatives. They identify residents psychosocial needs and orient them regarding their options.

Additional industry certifications may be required or preferred. Social services directors must be organized individuals that are results-driven. Social services directors must have advanced knowledge in counseling and special education. They should be excellent problem solvers and multitask in a variety of projects by prioritizing crucial tasks

Social Services Directors who transition into a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator role may receive large pay increases as the latter position pays an average $81K per year. Social Services Directors most often move into Geriatric Social Worker or MSW Social Worker roles. However, the former pays $10K less on average, and the latter pays $6K less.
Leading companies who hire large numbers of Social Services Directors include The Salvation Army, Golden LivingCenters, Kindred Healthcare, Signature Healthcare, LLC, and HCR ManorCare. Although The Salvation Army heads up the field in terms of compensation, offering the highest median salary at $50K, pay at this particular employer still varies considerably, running the full spectrum from $27K to $60K.
Not only do salaries lack room to grow — pay ranges from $34K to just $50K — but Golden LivingCenters offers the lowest pay in town to boot, with a median paycheck of $42K.
Survey results suggest that Social Services Directors use a fairly large toolkit of professional skills. Most notably, facility with Grant Writing, Budget Management, and Clinical Supervision are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 21 percent, 18 percent, and 15 percent, respectively. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Long Term Care and Geriatrics. Most people skilled in Case Management are similarly competent in Counseling and Program Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $41K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $48K. For Social Services Directors, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $51K. Social Services Directors with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $54K.

Bug-Eyed First Graders Take a Look at the Lives of Insects
Allen, Kari, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Kari Allen Daily Herald Staff Writer
First graders at Ellsworth Elementary School already know what an entomologist is.
Kids who have visited Morton Arboretum have learned they could become forensic entomologists or scientific illustrators.
That's because area schools and other facilities are teaching kids a lot about insects.
Kids are catching and inspecting insects as they have done for years, but today's lessons go way beyond putting lightning bugs in a jar.
Area educators and scientists are teaching youngsters about the important role insects play in the environment and why people study them way beyond school.
Similarly, the arboretum aims to teach students about careers available to people with an interest in insects, said Elizabeth Fedofsky, the arboretum's coordinator of youth programs.
The Lisle facility describes familiar jobs, such as pest controllers, beekeepers and entomologists, as well as rarer careers, too. Scientific illustrators, for instance, draw insects for books, while forensic entomologists study larva and maggots at crime scenes.
"There're so many different areas you could go into," Fedofsky said.
Local educators want students to know about those options. Educators hope to spark a passion in insects because, they say, insects are so important to the environment.
Ellsworth first-graders have been learning about entomologists as they're working through a unit on insects. They've also talked about how insects help in the development of certain medicines. Teacher Kathy Schoengrund knows not all her students will end up studying insects after they leave school. But some might.
"Our principle is to put as much (information) as we can out there," she said. "For some kids, this might become a lifelong passion. …

Des Moines
On Monday, a former aide to Ron Paul named Eric Dondero issued a statement in which he claimed that Ron Paul's isolationism is so extreme that "he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that 'saving the Jews,' was absolutely none of our business."
This afternoon, Paul declined to respond to his former aide's allegation. While Paul was walking from his car to an event at an insurance agency, I asked him:
"Congressman Paul, a former aide of yours said yesterday [sic] that you think the U.S. shouldn't have fought Hitler--shouldn't have invaded Europe during World War II--that that's the extent of your isolationism. Can you say whether or not that's true?"
Paul remained silent, so I asked him again. He did not respond, again. But he clearly heard both questions, as we were walking side-by-side, and no one else was speaking at the time.
Following his speech at the insurance agency, I walked up to him again to ask the same question, but he did not respond. "He's just shaking hands, writing signatures," a Paul aide told me.
Although the question is hypothetical, it's a fairly easy one for most Americans to answer. It would be a revealing indicator of just how far outside the mainstream Paul's isolationism may be if he does in fact think the U.S. should not have invaded Europe during World War II. It's a fringe idea, but it has gained some traction on the anti-war right--Pat Buchanan has even written a book on it.
Update (7:22 p.m.): Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton writes in an email that Ron Paul thinks the U.S. should have fought in World War II because Hitler declared war on the United States. But it isn't clear whether Paul thinks the U.S. had an interest fighting Hitler had he not first declared war.
Here's our email exchange (lightly edited for clarity):
TWS: I asked Rep. Paul a few times today about the claim that he thinks the U.S. shouldn't have invaded Europe in World War II. He did not reply. Maybe he just didn't want to talk to anyone from the media. But could you directly respond to that question?BENTON: John - that is a silly question. Hitler declared war on us. If any nation declared war on us, President Paul would fight the war and win at all costs.
TWS:Does Ron Paul think that if Hitler didn't declare war on the United States, that the U.S. should not have invaded Europe? I ask because the broader point made by Dondero is that Paul thinks the U.S. had no interest in Europe in WWII.BENTON: This gets abstract. Many conservatives have criticized World War Two as being largely the result if a bad after from World War I. Dr. Paul is sympathetic to that argument. But if Ron were President, before Japan bombed us and Germany declared war on us, he would have had open dialogue with the Congress, asking if the Congress, the voice of the People, wanted to declare war and come to Europe's aid. If Congress declared war, Dr. Paul as commander and chief would have fought it and won it by any means necessary.
TWS: 1. Is Dr. Paul opposed in principle to any war on strictly humanitarian grounds? i.e. Are there any circumstances in which he'd support fighting a war to stop a genocide? He talked to a voter about that today, and that seems to be his position. But just wondering if you could clarify. Gary Johnson has said he is open to possible humanitarian war.2. Is it Dr. Paul's understanding that winning World War II required the U.S. invasion of Europe and death/capture of Hitler? Or would containment have worked?
BENTON: (1) Dr. Paul is not an absolutist. He thinks our military's job is defend this country. As President, he would be very cautious about so-called "humanitarian" war. Much like the arguments for the domestic welfare state, humanitarian arguments are often used to get American involved in engagements that are not in our best long-term interests. Dr. Paul is first and foremost, however, a Constitutionalist. If the American people decided, through the Congress, to declare a war, he as Commander in Chief would fight it and win it.
(2) Once we are at war, it is imperative win decisively. In that, it required smashing Hitler and destroying his fascist war making machine.

Olivia and I opted for the GOOP-approved FeelFood three-day 'Winter Reboot.'
Olivia Cole writes for the Spectator and the London Evening Standard.
Seeing it, once again on the big screen, I realized, too, that Olivia Newton-John gives a flawless performance.
Celine, Bette, Manilow, Cirque du Soleil and, now, Britney and Olivia.
That to me felt like a moment where she really needed to put on her "Olivia Pope," quote unquote, identity.
And then Olivia smiled happily, for only she knew how she had been missed.
Olivia's professions of regard for you are indeed enthusiastic.
He saw himself first alone, and then with a wife—a wife who was not Olivia Guion.
The Olivia will, I hope, in time, blow out in full perfection.
Looking fearfully from her eyrie, Olivia saw the band had neared the foot of the cliffs.

Disabled veterans may get tax breakMarch 09,2013
Attention, all veterans with service-connected disabilities. Did you know that if you are compensated by the Department of Veterans Affairs for service-connected disabilities at 50 percent or more, you could qualify for a property tax exemption up to $40,000 off your property evaluation? Or, if you are a survivor of a veteran who has passed on, you may also be eligible for this exemption.
Vermont state law provides that: Real and personal property to the extent of $10,000 of appraisal value may be exempt from property tax for certain disabled veterans and their survivors. Most towns in Vermont have voluntarily raised the exemption to $40,000.
If you are a disabled veteran, or the survivor of a veteran, and want to learn more, please contact the Vermont Office of Veterans Affairs in Montpelier for more information right away. You can reach us by phone at 888-666-9844 or by email to email@example.com.

Happy Valley Quilting is located in the center of Pennsylvania. We are only a jump away from State College but still within the charm of our renown Nittany Mountain and our sweeping valleys. Our ancestors have lived in this beautiful region for as early as the late 1700's. We love the heirloom quilts from our different generations and that has created a special fondness for reproduction fabrics.
Happy Valley Quilting began as a dream to extend the love that we have for quilting to those who share that love. We know that no matter where you live there can never be enough quilts shops or enough fabric. Because of our passion for reproduction fabrics of all kinds, from Civil War to 1930's, it is our goal to help quilters find the reproduction fabrics that they need to create heirlooms of their own.
There will be some upcoming changes to the website. We appreciate your patience. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

- Heat the olive oil in a flame-proof casserole pan and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until it is golden brown all over, about 10 mins. You need plenty of space in the pan, so cook in 2 batches if the meat starts to steam. Remove from the pan to a plate. Tip out any burnt bits, then add the butter and cook the onion for 3-5 mins until softened.
- Stir in the flour, then return the pork and juices to the pan. Pour over the wine and enough stock to cover the meat. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, put the lid on and cook for 45 mins, stirring occasionally. Tip in the prunes, top up with stock or water if the meat isn't covered, and cook 45 mins more, uncovered, until really tender. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

I made this 2 days in advance for a large crowd at the week end and to say they liked it would be a bit of an understatement, a definite thumbs up all round.
I did tweak it a little though by adding mushrooms,a squirt of tomato puree, finely diced red peppers and a good splash of balsamic vinegar towards the end of the cooking time.
By making it well an advance the flavours really had time to develop resulting in a rich delicious dish.
This is gorgeous! I added garlic with the onions and paprika, thyme and a teaspoon on tomato puree with the wine and stock. Whole family really liked it, and this is a really rare occurrence, although the younger members refused to eat the prunes. Normally at least one of my children doesn't like a dish but this went down really well. Definitely will do it again. Served it with creamy mashed potatoes and a variety of veg on the side.
I used a slow cooker for this; 3 hours on high setting. Thickened the sauce with some corn flour towards the end of the cooking time. The meat was nice and tender but I wasn't overly impressed with the taste of the sauce. OK, but a bit bland. Nobody in my family was keen on the prunes. Probably won't make again.
