The Golden Gate Bridge is a variation of the Wobbly H and the Eiffel Tower. 5 people - Guy banging bent over girl from behind while she performs oral on the man in the middle. The man in the middle also receives a rusty trombone from the girl on the other side, whilst she is being banged from behind by the guy on the guy on the end. The man in the middle exchanges high fives with the guys on the ends, over the backs of the 2 ladies, thus making a golden gate bridge appearance.

The Labrador retriever was Denver's most popular dog breed in 2011.
The American Kennel Club released its list of most popular dog breeds this morning.
The Labrador retriever has been ranked the most popular dog breed nationally for 21 years.
In Denver the top dog breeds are:
1. Labrador retriever
2. German shepherd dog
3. golden retriever
4. bulldog
5. rottweiler
6. Yorkshire terrier
7. boxer
8. Bernese mountain dog and German shepherd pointer
9. dachshund and poodle
The rottweiler, which broke into Denver's top 10 in 2010, moved up a spot in 2011. The boxer moved down two spots.
"Appropriate for the Gateway to the Rockies, the Bernese mountain dog is Denver's eighth most popular breed," spokes woman Lisa Peterson said in the release. "This cold weather dog ranks 34th in the rest of the nation but holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Denver."
Nationally, the beagle moved up a spot and the Yorkshire terrier moved down two spots.

The Camas girls cross country team will leave Friday for the Tri-Cities, in search of the perfect day.
That just might be what the Papermakers need to knock off top-ranked Glacier Peak of Snohomish.
Last season Glacier Peak won the Class 3A girls team title by scoring 41 points, 66 points better than second-place Shadle Park of Spokane. It was the lowest winning score for a 3A girls team since 1974.
Camas coach Mike Hickey knows if the Grizzlies have another day like the one they had at least year's meet, they'll be tough to beat.
But Hickey expects the Papermakers to give Glacier Peak a run for the title at the state cross country championships Saturday at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.
"Glacier Peak is definitely the favorite," Hickey said. "We are going to have to have a solid day from top to bottom. But if we can have an overall great performance, we can have a chance."
Freshman Alexa Efraimson will lead the charge for Camas. Efraimson is coming off a 39-second win in the Westside Classic regional meet in Tacoma.
Defending individual champion Amy-Eloise Neale of Glacier Peak is the overwhelming favorite to win again. Glacier Peak's No. 2 runner, Katie Bianchini also could be a top-three finisher.
So even with Efraimson in the top 3, the Papermakers will need to win the meet with outstanding performances from their Nos. 3, 4, and 5 runners.
Hickey was encouraged by the fact that six of Camas' seven runners posted season-best marks for 5,000 meters at last weekend's regional meet, including seniors Austen Reiter and Lindsay Wourms, junior Megan Napier, and freshman Alissa Pudlitzke.
The 3A girls meet also will include Prairie, which is aiming for a top-six team finish after placing third at last week's regional meet.
"I've thought Prairie has been under-ranked all season," Hickey said. "They've got a really good team."
Other teams looking for high finishes are the Camas boys (ranked sixth in 3A), Columbia River boys (10th in 3A), Hockinson girls (10th in 2A), La Center girls (sixth in 1A), La Center boys (10th in 1A) and Seton Catholic boys (10th in 2B/1B).
Union freshman Alexis Fuller is projected to be a top placer in the Class 4A girls meet. Fuller placed second in the regional meet to Mount Rainier's Jordan McPhee.
Washougal's Sean Eustis and Isaac Stinchfield are candidates to finish in the top 10 in the boys 2A race.
"I'm looking for a top-10 finish, maybe top-5," said Eustis after winning last week's 2A district meet at Lewisville Park. "But really, I just want to run my race and have zero regrets at the end."

DipNote Blog: "Hometown Diplomat" Returns Home to Detroit
About the Author: Victor Marsh serves as a Foreign Service Officer at the U.S. Department of State.
On Tuesday (2/23/2010), I had the pleasure of meeting with an exciting group of 140 young people and some parents at Youth Ville Detroit, a community center located in the heart of my home town: Detroit, Michigan. When I first began my presentation, I promised the young people that I would stand there until the very last question was answered. They made me keep my promise! After my 20 minute presentation, featuring pictures and some stories about life in Hong Kong as a U.S. diplomat, the students shot their hands into the air, asking questions about the career and my experiences in a session that went non-stop for 3 hours!I told them that any major that they could think of in school would be an excellent addition to the foreign and civil service teams at the Department of State. To test my proposition, high school students (and even one elementary school student) peppered me with some test questions -- about how engineers, artists, and scientists could possibly fit in to U.S. foreign policy.

College Students Raise Questions about Women's Issues in Africa
WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 17 -- Students and faculty from Arizona State University, Brigham Young University, and Colorado State University participated in a video conference discussion on Women's Issues in Africa, with a panel of State Department officials. Camille Jackson, Samantha Lasry, and Nicole Peacock from the State Department's Bureau of African Affairs discussed women at the center of US foreign policy, development, and global health efforts. The discussion focused on development, health, and gender-based sexual violence as well as the inclusion of non-governmental organizations, and boys and men in our response to issues facing women in Africa.
Women's Issues in Africa
The United States is deeply committed to addressing issues that are important to women throughout Africa, relating to the political, economic, and social advancement of African women. The Bureau of African Affairs will mobilize concrete support for women's rights and political and economic empowerment through initiatives and programs designed to increase women's and girls' access to education and health care, to combat violence against women and girls in all its forms, and to ensure that women's rights are fully integrated with human rights in the development of U.S. foreign policy towards Africa. Unfortunately, we have seen in the late 20th century and now in this century a terrible trend of using sexual and gender-based violence as a tool of war to intimidate and demoralize populations and to force them to flee their homes. We will continue to speak out and lead the fight against this scourge.

They also had several questions on airport and homeland security issues. Comment on Facebook

So, the other day my DH downloaded some game on the computer. Since then, that is ALL he wants to do. Tuesday and Wednesday are his days off and yesterday he came up when he first woke up at 7ish and stayed on until 10, then after lunch he came back up for 2 more hours until I came up and told him I had to do my school work. He threw a friggin tantrum about it and sat breathing down my neck until I was done. He then got back on until about 4. When he came down at 4 (after about 2 hours of me yelling to get off the computer) in a horrible mood and took the remote from me to watch what he had recorded from the week on DVR. Then we have dinner, and I give Landon a bath, and put him to bed and get in the tub myself and ask him if he wants to get in with me... he does and immediatly starts complaining bout how cold the water is, and asks about 10 minutes into the bath if he can get out. I said yes, but let him know I was disappointed in him. He goes straight back upstairs to the computer. I get in bed and was reading. At 9 I started asking him to come downstairs, each time he would say "in a minute". Finally, at 11 he comes down and I was almost asleep. Then he wakes up this morning at 6 and comes right back up, I come up at 9:30 and basically bully him off. So now he is really mad at me. What should I do? He is not normally like this, maybe after the novelty of it being new he will get back to normal? Usually he is an attentive and caring husband and especially great father, but the last few days he has been a horrible person and father. Anyone else have to go through this? I was thinking about deleting the game, but I know that will make him even more mad.
husband is addicted to a game!
Melanie- wife to S, mommy to L (8/06), P (11/08), & A (6/11)
I would be irritated too if my DBF was spending all his time on the comp. My problem is he's always on his phone! But, maybe he's just really excited about the game right now and he'll get over it. But if he doesn't after a few weeks then there is a problem. HTH.
God doesn't bring you to, what he can't bring you through
Do you like Dr. Phil? He had a show on this exact subject just last week. I've included the link so you can read it.
......a ray of sarcastic sunshine every single day.
I would delete it. There is a no video game rule in our house. They are waste of time and turn people into zombies, and many kids are addicted and overweight due to too many video games and not enough playing time.
If you are uncomfortable with that I would definately approach him and have a conversation about the subject. I see you are due in about a week (Congrats) and you are going to need support - not a video game addict. Try to agree on a reasonable amount of time to spend playing the game - say an hour maybe two. You want to address before it becomes a bigger issue.
Christy ~ Mom to Lucas (4/07) & Wife to Aaron
talk to him about it, maybe away from home and the computer, explain that you know he needs to relax and have his own time but that the family comes first and its upsetting that he seems to have forgotten this. stay calm, don't yell, just make it very clear that this behavior is not ok.
computer games are very addictive for most people, its possible that the newness will wear off and he will start acting normal again or that it will get worse and this will be a continuing issue and become a very big problem.
these games have ruined many relationships, but that being said, make your points to him clearly and soon. not all of these games are bad, dh and i are both gamer but everything within reason, everything else comes first.
a tiger, a monkey, a scorpion, a cat, a dragon and a fish make for one weird zoo :p
It also sounds like there may be other issues there, too. I mean, you said that he's normally a really good dad and husband, and the game is only a few days old. That's hardly enough time to become addicted to it. I would think that if he was addicted, he wouldn't necessarily become so irritable and argumentative with you over non-game related stuff. Sounds like he's using the game as an outlet for stress and an escape. It's very possible that he's stressed beyond tolerance regarding the birth of your child in the next week or so. Dads get stressed about this stuff and a lot of times don't have anyone to talk to about it. Talking to our very-pregnant wives usually results in them responding with "You're stressed? How the hell do you think I feel? Try carrying around 30 pounds on your bladder and peeing every five minutes!" So, we just internalize and find another outlet.
I'd approach him gently and ask him if anything's wrong, and maybe follow it up with explaining that he's been distant and you feel that he's snapped at you a few times. Let him try to tell you what's wrong.
...standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,...walking along the Sea of Galilee.
Mhin: Don't delete the game...that's childish and vindictive. My husband likes to play Civilization and it annoys me to no end sometimes, but he knows how I feel and still continues to play it until 12 in the morning sometimes. He did this for almost two weeks. It was everyday after work and dinner. We hardly spent any family time together. But, he's settled down now. He got his fix and isn't as excited about it any more. I would schedule something to do as a family on the weekend at the begninning of the week and let him know and make sure you all get out. Knowing that as soon as you get home he'll probably sit his butt back on the comp...Hopefully, he'll get over it soon.
"Human beings, by changing the inner attitude of their minds, can change the outer aspect of their lives"
-William James- (1842-1910)
I agree with pbg&g. There may be an underlying problem. But he doesn't know how to verbalize it?
God doesn't bring you to, what he can't bring you through
It depends on the type of game as to what the underlying issues are. All games provide an alternate sense of accomplishment, but some games are more "addictive" than others. Games like Everquest and World of Warcraft are highly addictive because they are uniquely interactive with an online community, thus entailing the creation of alternate and competing relationships, and they provide a sense of risk/reward that may be missing from his personal life.
The CBS show Big Bang Theory had an episode that was based on gaming addiction. Gaming addiction is real and pernicious. However, taking action against the addict, like every other addiction, does not help the situation and will only create resentment, and thus feelings of alienation, in the addict.
Hopefully this will be over in a couple weeks, like a PP's experience, but if it gets deeper I would seek help from a competent mental health advisor on the matter.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Sometimes I stay up until rediculous hours playing games...it does kind of annoy me when my husband wants me to go to bed and I want to play a little longer. I am an adult and can set my own bedtime, ya know? I think that as long as my staying up and playing doesn't effect my ability to function and take care of my family the next day it's no big deal. Clearly your husband doesn't feel the same. His game playing is interfering BIG TIME with his ability to be a good husband and father. Just a question...is he playing WoW?
Try to sit down and discuss the situation with him. Let him know that you don't care if he plays the game as long as he is still providing as a husband and father.

I went through this myself. My DH was not addicted, I was. I would spend literally all day on the computer playing the game until I went to bed at like 2am. I did it for months! Finally I decided to let my subscription run out. I was planning to leave it that way for about 3 weeks, and ended up not playing for about a month and a half. I still play, but hardly ever.
I don't honestly know what to tell you except that if you're lucky it'll wear off. Other than that, you can try to convince him to take a break once in a while. Set up a game night or a date night or both. And game night CANNOT involve the game he is addicted to. Make rules that he can't complain about it and stuff. I don't know if he'll agree to it, but if you get him away from it once in a while, hopefully it'll wear off faster or he will just realize that he needs to play much less.
For me, there was no big moment when I just stopped being addicted. It wasn't exactly gradual though either. I knew for a long time while I was addicted that it was bad and that I needed to play less. I couldn't stand the fact that I was always playing the game when there were so many other things I could be doing. And I wasn't happy! I was always cranky or depressed. When I stopped playing I started going outside a lot and I was happy all the time. I was always doing productive things and started going to bed at a decent hour. I became a much better person than I had been.
You could try talking to your DH. Get him to see that he is not happy. That because of this game he is angry and pouty and is never happy because he is making his family miserable. Try to be nice about it and not make him feel bad, but be firm and don't let him plow you off or anything.
Good luck! I hope that he gets past this quickly!

FILM; Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Prove
By ELIZABETH KAYE
Published: August 16, 1998
HE looks weathered. He is weathered. ''I got a face like a catcher's mitt,'' he says.
But still; there is something about him that inflames the Walter Mitty fantasies of men and the hidden longings of women. It's a quality that emerged first in his songwriting, then onscreen, and owes a lot to an old-time manner that used to be called being genuine. If sentimentality is the tendency to show more than one actually feels, Kris Kristofferson is the opposite of sentimental: the man who feels so much that he cannot help but show it.
He is what he wrote about, a walking contradiction -- a Rhodes scholar propelled though life less by reason than by impulse; a Golden Gloves boxer blessed with a poet's understanding of irredeemable loss and late-night yearnings. Rugged yet capable of being wounded, solitary yet reachable, he veers between two styles: supremely laid back and wound tighter than most. He is perceived as a sexual icon, though his sexuality derives from an intense fragility usually associated with women.
There have been times when he was weary, convinced he had done it all. Yet he found his way to new starts. His laugh is explosive, contagious, fierce, the flip side of a long struggle with sadness.
When he was a boy, music reached him with a force that was nonnegotiable. ''It felt like something I needed,'' he says. In it, he discovered what he calls ''honest emotion,'' an ideal that he sought in ephemeral encounters with numberless women until he found it with his third wife and the eight children he had fathered in the course of his marriages.
Long ago, he was a restive prowler, spurred by quarts of tequila and Jack Daniel's, which let him ''keep my brain in the condition that I liked it,'' as he tells it. Now he is satisfied, though he never sought to be satisfied, having always believed that it was hunger that impelled him. By the early 1970's, he had written the line ''Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose'' and was being featured in movies as a pothead, a cowboy, a drifter. In the process, he came to represent the possibility of life without compromise, of being unencumbered.
Kris Kristofferson is 62 now. He once had a stubborn streak as wide and deep as a canyon, but these days he is chastened and changed, inclined to invoke William Blake's dictum ''If a fool persists in his folly he would become wise.'' The notion that he's a symbol of freedom produces the wry grin that means he is laughing at himself. ''But,'' he says, ''I guess that's what I am -- said the man with eight children.''
He is speaking on a warm day last December in Wilmington, N.C., two weeks before the conclusion of principal photography on the Merchant Ivory film ''A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries.'' In the movie, which will open Sept. 18, he plays Bill Willis, a character based on James Jones, the expatriate American writer best known for the World War II novels ''From Here to Eternity'' and ''The Thin Red Line.''
This is the eighth film Mr. Kristofferson has made in the two years since his life as an actor was recharged by his portrayal of the vicious sheriff Charlie Wade in John Sayles's ''Lone Star.'' He also appears in two movies that open on Friday: as an obdurate vampire hunter in ''Blade,'' an action picture also starring Wesley Snipes, and the lone and remote owner of a dance studio in 'Dance With Me,'' a role he accepted apprehensively. (''You know,'' he said in his first meeting with the director Randa Haynes, ''Robert Duvall would be way better in this part than me.'')
On this particular day, he enters his trailer just before noon, wearing faded black jeans and worn Tony Lamas cowboy boots. He emerges moments later, costumed in attire similar to what he just shed. As always, he's on time for his call; he has never been one of those stars people have to wait for.
IN ''A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries,'' Mr. Kristofferson seems to be at one with the character he is playing in a way that has not been the case since he played the doomed rock star in Barbra Streisand's 1976 remake of ''A Star Is Born.'' ''There's a seamlessness between Kris and Jones,'' says the director James Ivory, who noticed early on that the actor was ad-libbing lines that sounded markedly like things Jones might have said.
The author's daughter, Kaylie Jones, who wrote the novel upon which the picture is based, was instantly struck by the resemblance between them. ''There's a wisdom and kindness in the eyes, eyes that have seen a lot,'' she says.
Among other things, the film -- set in Paris and on Long Island in the 1960's and 70's -- illuminates the warmhearted relationships between Jones and his daughter and adopted son. Mr. Kristofferson told Ms. Jones that he hoped his children would someday feel for him a love as profound as the love she holds for her father, who died in 1977. Playing Jones has caused him to summon the best of himself, that unstinting tenderness that infuses his songs and allows him to love his own daughters and sons without reservation. ''He's met a role that really shows who he is,'' says Barbara Hershey, who plays Marcella Willis, the character based on Jones's wife, Gloria.

The cloud-managed WLAN market continues to expand with established vendors and startups rolling out a variety of services. But despite the growing number of options, cloud-managed WLAN isn't practical for everyone. The market has yet to offer the types of options that make it feasible for large-scale enterprise WLANs.
Cloud-managed WiFi is hot. Recent entrants into the market include Ruckus Wireless and the newcomer Relay2. Though Ruckus's service is an order of magnitude less expensive and more feature rich than Relay2's, the fact that new players are showing up in a crowded field shows that we're not yet at vendor saturation.
The cloud-managed WLAN market has evolved rapidly from just a few years ago, when Meraki and Aerohive stood in defiance of all the controller and fat-AP enterprise WiFi players. In 2011, the niche provider PowerCloud's launch was significant in that it was arguably the first real stab taken at marketing cloud-based hotspots directly to retail and hospitality sectors. Though this seemed a bit strange back then, PowerCloud actually blazed a trail of sorts with the promise of easy-to-install, low-cost, manage-from-anywhere WiFi for chain stores, restaurants, and hotels.
Today, we have everyone from Aruba to Xirrus with a cloud WiFi story, though seldom are any two services exactly alike. Meraki (now part of Cisco) and Aerohive Networks offer end-to-end cloud-managed IT environments with tightly coupled WLAN components, while other vendors offer simple cloud-managed WiFi access, or WiFi plus some feature set, with no switch or security appliance options.
Small, established environments are usually updated to cloud-managed WLAN models with relative ease by virtue of their small scales. I have upgraded a dozen small branch locations to cloud-based WiFi, and I have become both a believer and an advocate for the paradigm. These spaces were changed fairly easily because they were small, with no AP more than a single switch hop away from its gateway.
But I also have a 4,000-AP-strong enterprise that can't easily move to the cloud. It's not for lack of want, but because of something that's missing in the WLAN industry's overall approach to cloud-managed WiFi architectures.
Today's cloud wireless systems feature high-performance 802.11n and 802.11ac access points, just like I have in my enterprise WLAN. Cloud systems can provide all the modern security features I need, and they provide a range of analytics and reporting that come close enough to my on-premises system. But here's the problem: I can't simply migrate my current-generation, cutting-edge, multimillion-dollar WLAN to the cloud for management. I'd have to rip and replace the whole enchilada.
I'd have to abandon my controller investment and replumb my network topology with VLANs and such, because my "thin" Cisco APs encapsulate VLANs in a CAPWAP tunnel, while cloud-managed APs emulate legacy "fat APs" to which you run trunks. Note that this isn't a problem exclusive to Cisco deployments.
The missing piece for customers like me? There's no "hybrid" model that lets you keep everything you have in place for controllers and APs but move network management and monitoring to the cloud. This is when many cloud vendors might say, "Yeah, but with our cloud solution, you don't need controllers" -- and they're right. But consider the tradeoff.
To configure the underlying LAN topology to support my 4,000 APs and the number of SSIDs and networks used in my complicated WiFi environment, I'd need to perform hundreds of thousands of VLAN-related switch configuration steps and do things I'd really rather not do with Layer 2. Or I'd need to completely redesign my network to be more L3-centric. In this regard, I'll keep my controllers for now, thank you. Yet I'd love to ditch all my local management servers, and if I had multiple campuses, I'd love to manage them all from the cloud.
Small environments of all types should give cloud WLAN serious consideration, and I believe the cloud is where the future of WiFi generally lies. However, we also need enterprise WLAN vendors to step up and fuse what's great about the cloud with the advantages of controller-based WLANs. Figure out how to manage them from the cloud, as well, with very little effort by the customer, and the cloud-managed WLAN picture becomes a lot more complete.

There are clear advantages to cloud-managed networking. Sometimes those advantages become disadvantages with age. I've run into this in my home lab.
I believe most cloud-managed infrastructures have what could be called an offline mode, so that loss of external connectivity will not shut down your network or wireless LANs. Anything that depends on realtime Internet/cloud access needs to be fixed or replaced.
However, hardware that becomes a virtual brick without the cloud service is suboptimal. Hardware that can't be un-virtual-bricked at all is bad for the environment and the market. I won't name names on either of these but they both are in my home lab at the moment as paperweights.
I understand the desire to keep revenue streams going, and not have to provide lifetime support to people who buy on eBay, but if you can't replace hardware on your own or if you can't tell if a piece of hardware is a brick or a usable piece of gear when you buy it, it's going to hurt you if you're a SOHO/ROBO/POHO user.
At least make it possible for your prospective new customers to unlock a piece of gear at some cost. Or offer a trade-in plan for gear you want to remit to the landfill.

IDC last month released some big growth estimates for the cloud-managed WiFi market. According to IDC, as the traditional enterprise WLAN market starts to flatten, worldwide cloud-managed infrastructure and managed services revenue will reach $653 million this year and $2.5 billion by 2018. No wonder so many companies are jumping into this space.

but at vendors like Aerohive you can have also your existing central breakout design. Therefor they are offering there tunnel endpoint solutions which can realize also GREs.
With that you get centralized management out of the cloud (including the tunnel endpoint),a centralized data plane, but a distributed controle plane.
I think you talk about Ruckus SAMS, which is from my point of view only the missing extension for there portfolio. Ruckus tells everybody that they are the best solution for Hotspots and ISPs, but they never offered a good guest management system for such requirement.
Now they go the same way like AirTight goes with there Social stuff.

Abbott Announces FDA Clearance For A New Test To Help Physicians Quickly And Accurately Diagnose Diabetes
April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) announced today that its new ARCHITECT Clinical Chemistry Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test – which can aid physicians in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes and identifying people at risk for the disease – has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). More than 25 million Americans are living with diabetes and several million remain undiagnosed. 1 People with diabetes who can understand and manage their condition can prevent or delay health problems, which may lead to longer and healthier lives. "At times, diabetes can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can be subtle or go unnoticed," said Beth McQuiston, MD, registered dietitian, and medical director, Diagnostics, Abbott. "The new HbA1c test provides physicians the ability to quickly assess a person's average blood glucose concentration over several months, and if needed, provide them with a treatment pathway to help optimize their health."If current trends continue, as many as one in three U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050. 1 Due to this potential rise, laboratories are expected to see an increase in physician requests for HbA1c tests. The fully-automated Abbott ARCHITECT HbA1c test provides fast, accurate results, helping laboratories manage this anticipated increase in demand for testing. "The progression of diabetes may be prevented or delayed with effective care," said Brian Blaser, executive vice president, Diagnostics Products, Abbott. "Abbott's ARCHITECT clinical chemistry HbA1c test will empower physicians to take timely, appropriate actions in identifying and helping people manage this disease." The ARCHITECT clinical chemistry HbA1c test is now available in several countries throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada and Africa, pending country registration. The test will be available in the U.S. in the coming weeks. Abbott's HbA1c TestThe ARCHITECT HbA1c assay is used in clinical laboratories for the quantitative in vitro measurement of the percent hemoglobin A1c (% HbA1c) or the hemoglobin A1c concentration (mmol/mol) in human whole blood and hemolysate on the ARCHITECT c8000 System. Hemoglobin A1c measurements are used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, to identify patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes mellitus, and for the monitoring of long-term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Hemoglobin A1c should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes in patients with abnormal red cell turnover, such as pregnancy, recent blood loss or transfusion, or some types of anemia. 2 Abbott' s Commitment to Diabetes ManagementAbbott markets a number of products to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring and management of diabetes. Abbott's ARCHITECT and i-STAT ® System feature various tests to either diagnose diabetes or monitor blood glucose levels. Its FreeStyle line of blood glucose monitors are easy-to-use, require small blood samples and provide fast and accurate test results. 2 The company also offers Glucerna ®, specialized nutrition products that are designed to help people with diabetes manage blood glucose levels as part of an overall management plan. About AbbottAbbott is a global healthcare company devoted to improving life through the development of products and technologies that span the breadth of healthcare. With a portfolio of leading, science-based offerings in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic pharmaceuticals, Abbott serves people in more than 150 countries and employs approximately 69,000 people.

That's why I use Paint shop Pro... but it has its issue too.
A chubby talented woman... What else could I ever want?
I love your art!

I think this is one of the first images I faved after joining deviant art. I wish I could fave it all over again.
This is surprisingly accurate to me and what I do with art o_o
Am I weird for thinking she's sorta cute, even in the middle of a psychotic rage?
I haven't had too many problems with the old version of PhotoShop I use, but get that feeling sometimes when Blender unexpectedly quits mid-project. (Particularly if I didn't save.)

Heh. I knowwwwwww that feeling. Sometimes Blender randomly goes HAHA NOPE! And other times, Zbrush just goes all WTF for no discernible reason. Ahhhh the joys of digital art.
Kill the software distributor with FIRE!
Hahaha! Poor screen.
I must be honest, you look quite lovely. Even while raging.
Fantastic caricature work! I love the way you did the shadows and highlights on your shirt and skirt.

^_^ Thanks. Haven't heard from you in a while. How ya been?
I can relate to this so much *laughs* this is brilliant.

Someone should tell that cat that is not a very good hiding place. The thin screen getting stabbed an punctured repeatedly and all.
I'm still in the newbie phase of drawing primitives, shading and perspective. Good to know I'll be losing my mind in a short amount of time. I already think my hand is possessed, it's chooses tools I didn't want, deletes things I really wanted to keep, ugh, ok, I'm starting to get that feeling that you've so beautifully illustrated!!
Thanks. Hang in there. It's frustrating as hell sometimes but just keep on keepin' on. *squish*
Haha nice.
LMAO awesome!!!!!!!!
This is hilarious....
This is sadly, not as effective with mocking bosses.
Much more fun though.

It could be as simple as seeing is believing. As Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and the team's personnel department have gone about constructing a roster, they have stood firm on one of the oldest scouting credos — trust your eyes.
"He saw us a lot every year," Broncos cornerback Andre Goodman said. "And he must have liked what he saw. We did all end up here."
McDaniels has cultivated the ground of his football roots to build a team, acquiring five former New England Patriots to go with one who already was with the Broncos when he arrived — tight end Daniel Graham. But he also has looked south, now with four former Miami Dolphins players, all on defense.

Goodman and safety Renaldo Hill were acquired last year. Cornerback Nathan Jones and linebacker Akin Ayodele were signed this year.
"He saw what we do every year; maybe it's the character of the guys, the quality of the guys, maybe how we played," Hill said. "Coach McDaniels going up against us in Miami twice a year, maybe he just knew what he was going to get.
"And everything you talk about as a defense, any place you are, is always about getting on the same page. Well, if you're already on the same page, in a lot of ways when you start, that helps you progress."
Hill and Goodman were starters for the Broncos last season. Jones has been working as the team's nickel cornerback — the fifth defensive back — of late in offseason workouts. Ayodele is backing up at linebacker and has worked at multiple spots as he continues to learn the defense.
The Dolphins play the same type of 3-4 defensive scheme as the Broncos, all four said, with similar fronts in the defensive line and similar coverage schemes.
"It made it comfortable, an easy choice for me, to have those guys here in this defense," Ayodele said. "And I've known (Broncos linebacker) D.J. (Williams) since he was in college. It all made it an easy transition.
There also is the matter of the Bill Parcells' coaching tree. Parcells, as head coach of the Giants, Patriots and Jets, had current Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as a top assistant on each of those staffs.
And Parcells, now the Dolphins' team president, has the same kind of approach in the draft and free agency in Miami as is being used by the Patriots and Broncos, with McDaniels having been a long-time Belichick assistant.
"I think that's the tree Parcells, Belichick, it's a lot of the same things," Jones said. "I think they're looking for similar players with similar approaches to the game. Professionals."
Jones said he looked to both Hill and Goodman before, as well as after, he signed with the Broncos to learn as much as he could about the situation.
"It just makes it a whole lot easier, kind of like the first day of school," Goodman said. "I think everyone likes to feel like they're in a comfort zone where they work. . . . The more settled you are, the better you're going to play, or at least the closer you're going to play to your full abilities."
"Part of the transition of playing well on the field is sometimes how quickly you get settled off the field," Hill said. "It's hard if you have time where you should be in your playbook but you're on the phone with a Realtor or you're trying to find out where your furniture went and dealing with all of those things. So any help to make any of that better can show up in how you play."

"Thanks Lynn and Scott! We were sad to leave… Very relaxing, loved the patio and are longing to go back and sit in the sun. We read, played games – loved Taboo – and took a couple hikes using your trail book. Glad you had a washer for our five year-old who found 'adventure' during our hikes!"
"Great place to gather and all be together. My wife and I along with her parents loved the sunsets on the patio and the layout of the house – our four kids slept while we enjoyed each other's company in the evenings! Great location; we were a couple minutes from everything on our 'to-do' list."
"The house was perfect for our family of five. The floor bed was just right for Max (3 years) and the girls loved sharing a "big" bed. This was our first trip to Santa Barbara and the books and tips from our hostesses were so nice. We were a little concerned that we wouldn't have anyone to help (no hotel, no concierge!) but we got all the info we need. Nice views of mountains and partial view of ocean. Nice vacation, thanks!"
"Our family loved the city and the home. The cottage was clean, well maintained and nicely decorated. It was close to everything we wanted to do – except Solvang and Los Olivos but the drive was spectactular along the ocean. The ping pong table and hot tub were used a lot – the hot tub more successfully than ping pong. My husband thinks it might be time for him to go back to ping pong school. ;-)"
"Perfect spot for our son's wedding party – five minutes to Fess Parker's Double Tree and Chase Palm Park. Nearby stores in Mesa Village were close enough for last minute items we forgot and even walkable when we had a little more time. Great selection of video's kept the kids happy (parents too)! The kitchen had everything we needed (roasting pans, muffin tins, etc.) Thanks for making our trip special!"

Gomez, with One Eskimo. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave., 441-7416. 8 p.m. $23. Gomez has evolved over six studio releases, starting with 1998's rootsy, booze-and-blues-fueled debut Bring It On - which set the bar high, winning the Mercury Prize as the UK's best album - but this Sourthport quintet have always made their bones on stage. There's a natural rapport and easy versatility live, as guitarists Tom Gray, Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell - notable for his Vedder-esque growl - switch off on lead vocals and share spot-on harmonies. John Lee Hooker was a fan and Al Kooper still is, but blues is a mere touchstone for an eclectic group unafraid to veer off in new directions - like last year's low-key, acoustic A New Tide. The band (or various permutations) has made more than a dozen local appearances over the past decade, but rarely at a venue this intimate. MICHAEL MAHONEY

?Since I've spent a lot of time in this space talking about yummy THC-infused treats like brownies, cookies, cake pops, seven-layer bars, sodas, and even cotton candy, I should also point out that all medicated cannabis edibles aren't of the high-sugar, high-fat persuasion.
It only takes one of them.
In fact, some medibles are more a medication delivery system than a food item, as I was reminded when I visited Puget Sound Health Alternatives recently.
The medicinal cannabis collective garden has a nice selection of conventional medibles in the $9-$10 range like Smuggler's Choice peanut butter cookies, Pack A Punch candy bars, and a range of always-delicious Ettalew's Medibles. But when co-owner Tim showed me the refrigerated medibles case, I also saw some little wads of colored goo that looked like squat, foreshortened slugs.
?Tim told me he felt the Fruit Punch Gummies were the best medibles in the place, and at $6 apiece, they're also a good value, so I came home with two of them. Even though Tim assured me that each Gummy represented a dose, I got two since, in the past, I've often found medibles dosing to fall somewhat short due to my increased tolerance, being, shall we say, somewhat accustomed to cannabis.
I did exercise the prudence of having only one of the orangish red gummies, then waiting an hour to gauge the effects (in a rare instance of listening to my own advice). It was evident, after an hour, that one was enough to produce pain relief, relaxation, and the sort of body heaviness associated with a solid indica stone.
Nobody is going to eat these gummies for the way they taste -- the active ingredient is the THC-rich butane honey oil (BHO), which lends them a chemical, mediciney taste. But that's the difference between a food-centered medible and a medication delivery system.
As Tim pointed out, these gummies are easier for someone to eat than is a rich, fatty treat when, say, their nausea means they don't have much of an appetite. And beyond that, the fact that your stomach doesn't have to digest its way through fats and sugars to get to the medicine makes for a quicker onset, as well.
Get your BHO Fruit Punch Gummies at Puget Sound Health Alternatives, 3202 15th Ave. W., at the corner of 15th and Dravus. They're open from 11 to 8 Monday through Saturday at noon to 6 on Sunday; telephone 402-5082, email firstname.lastname@example.com, website www.pugetsoundhealthalternatives.com.
Incredible Medibles wants to review your cannabis-infused food items. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

How Can You Get Diabetes Type 1
In most cases, diabetes symptoms start showing up gradually. That is why they are not always easy to identify. Some of the common symptoms are frequent urination at night, blurred vision, loss of weight, fatigue and excessive thirst. The major reason for frequent urination is that excess glucose in the bloodstream is removed by more frequent production of urine. Consequently, there will be a greater urge to drink more fluids which will further lead to repeated urination.
A physician may infer that a person has diabetes when there are obvious signs of diabetes related ailments. Some of these include: deteriorating vision, numb feet and legs, slow healing of wounds and heart related problems. The presence of these signs does not automatically confirm a patient as being diabetic but if anyone has several of these symptoms, it is best to see a doctor.
However, a person who has diabetes may initially not show any of these symptoms at all. In most cases, type 2 diabetes, develops gradually and may be dormant in a person for several years before it is finally diagnosed. The symptoms appear differently in each person. But two very common symptoms are repeated urination and excessive thirst.
Ascensia CONTOUR Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Bayer Diabetes Care
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes symptoms do not develop in same way. Type 1 diabetes symptoms show up gradually in infants and adolescents over a few weeks. But Type 2 symptoms develop at any even slower rate over a couple of years. Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults who are over 40 years. That is why it is common to find adults who have diabetes mellitus but are not even aware of it. Sometimes the condition is discovered after medical examination is carried out for another ailment.
Recent medical research has shown that if symptoms of diabetes are discovered early, the complications of the disease can easily be averted.
Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes
The symptoms of this type of diabetes manifest suddenly and are more severe. Examples of these symptoms include:
* Blurred vision
* Fatigue (feelings of weakness after very little activity)
* Loss of weight
* Repeated urination (Polyuria)
* Dryness in the mouth
* Excessive thirst (Polydipsia)
Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
The symptoms of this type of diabetes manifest gradually and are less severe. Sometimes they are not quickly noticed. Examples of these symptoms include:
* Slow healing of sores and cuts
* Pain in the lower limbs
* Increased urination and thirst
* Irritation and itching of the skin
* Depreciating vision
Symptoms of Gestational Diabetes
The symptoms of gestational diabetes are similar to type 1 diabetes symptoms. But there are other symptoms such as: nausea and vomiting, infections of the skin, bladder and vagina and irritability.
Warning Signs of Diabetes
Here are some of the warning signs that may indicate the presence of diabetes in an individual.
* Flu-like symptoms e.g. signs of viral infection like coughing, sneezing, nausea etc.
* Excess weight loss or gain. Typical blood sugar disorders can cause a patient to either eat too much and gain weight or lose weight. Weight loss occurs when the muscles don't have adequate glucose to support energy production and growth.
* Blurred vision. High blood sugar levels tend to cause the excessive removal of fluid from the body. This also affects the eye lenses and results in poor vision.
* Frequent infections and wounds that heal slowly. Vaginal and bladder infections are a common sign among women.
* Damage of the nerves. High blood sugar levels can lead to numbness in the hands and legs. Nerve damage can also lead to sexual and erectile dysfunction in men older than 50 years.
* Tenderness and swelling of the gums. The gums can be adversely affected by diabetes. They could easily become infected and may develop sores with small bags of pus.
* Skin changes. A condition known as acanthosis nigricans can develop in diabetes patients. This manifests as dark velvety patches in the groin, armpit and neck.
If you notice that you are experiencing frequent urination at night, it is better to see a doctor. It is very risky to assume that you are urinating more often simply because you are drinking more water. Contact a qualified medical doctor right away for proper medical examination.

2013 has already been a fantastic year for kids and family
music. For the second year in a row, the folks behind the annual
"Fids and Kamily" Music Awards were kind enough to invite THE ROCK
FATHER to join them as one of 27 judges tasked with choosing what
will ultimately be cemented into history as the best family albums
of the year. While
the results are in, the year isn't over yet. There's still
plenty more great albums that still need to be covered.
I'm featuring five albums right here on Chicago Parent this week
that you should check out with your little ones. Among the five are
a trio of artists that were runners-up at Fids and Kamily, two of
which will be performing right here in the Windy City later this
week. Ready to rock?
Caspar Babypants -
"Baby Beatles!"
Who can blame The Beatles for the countless artists that have
chosen to cover them over the past 50 years. After all, when you're
arguably the most influential band of all time, others will
follow, and within those ranks will be some who choose to pay
rightful tribute. One of the latest is Chris Ballew, best-known as
the voice of The Presidents of the United States of America. Beyond
the world of "Lump," "Peaches," and the "Mach 5," Ballew has been
releasing family music under his Caspar
Babypants alter-ego since 2009. His latest offering is "Baby
Beatles!" - a collection of 20 classics originally performed
by the Fab Four, all re-worked into Ballew's whimsical, signature
style. The little ones will be singing along to the songs of Lennon
and McCartney in no-time at all. Available now on
Red Yarn - "The Deep
The debut album from Portland's Red Yarn (Andy Furgeson)
is one of this fall's true gems. After receiving a grant to remake
traditional American songs into songs about animals, Furgeson held
a community recording session to capture the voicesof more than 150
backing vocalists. The end result is an album of pure Americana,
peppered with songs that would not feel out of place if they were
to pop up locally on WXRT. But they're about rabbits, snakes, birds
and even "The Fox." "The Deep Woods" is also beautifully packaged
on CD, with photos depicting the puppets that help populate the
deep woods of Red Yarn's live show - a presentation of folk songs
and puppetry for families. Available now on
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
Crew & Family Too! - "Live at the Orange Peel"
Set for release on Nov. 19, "Live at the Orange Peel" captures
one of my favorite kindie artists in a live setting, paired with Yo mama's
Big Fat Booty Band - a 10-piece funk outfit with crazy chops.
Secret Agent
23 Skidoo is in a league of his own as it is - premiere
purveyor of "Kid Hop" - but hearing his rock songs from his first
three albums alongside a full horn section? It's fantastic and
something that must be heard, absorbed, and appreciated. Legit
hip-hop for all-ages. Get the album direct from the artist via
Mister G - "ABC
On this bilingual collection of songs, Mister G (Ben
Gundersheimer) seamlessly blends English and Spanish for some
foot-stomping results. Interestingly, Mister G says that his
exploration of the Spanish language began along with his hope of
one day becoming a Major League Baseball player. While his career
path veered musical, he found himself further becoming immersed in
the language through his extensive touring in Latin America and
throughout the United States. My favorite cut here is "Ratones."
Available direct from the artist. Catch Mister G live
at Schubas
on Nov. 9.
Trout Fishing in America - "Rubber Baby Buggy
Don't let the old school title scare you off, "Rubber Baby Buggy
Bumpers" is the latest offering from four-time Grammy nominees Ezra
Idlet and Keith Grimwood - two guys that were doing "kindie" before
kindie was a thing. In fact, the duo behind Trout Fishing in America
have been rocking together as long as I've been alive (that's 37
years, should you be curious). Here we have a dozen new tracks,
including the recently appropriate "Boo!" (a new Halloween staple),
the southern fried "Zoo Wacky Zoo," and the bluesy "It's Not Mud,"
which scores bonus points for featuring an appearance from the
Sugar Free Allstars. Available now on
iTunes. Catch Trout Fishing in America at the
Old Town School of Folk Music on Nov. 10.
