Knowing the x86 architecture is known based processors still brief history of computing. There are millions sold to processors throughout history that implement it, and it has been an architecture which led to the success of companies like Microsoft and Intel and the concept of the personal computer. x86 is a technological milestone that deserves worth being analyzed and studied in great depth.
Then the thoroughly know, desmigaremos its history, will place on the market and explain the technical characteristics of the most notable architecture CISC market. x86 is one of the most important creations in the world of hardware, and know it is imperative to understand the history of computing and its current state. So come in and read, everyone is invited
A little history
In 1971 Intel introduced the first commercial processor market, the 4004 . It was a model with 4-bit bus and intended for use in calculators, very ancient but considered the cornerstone of all that is present in that decade. He followed the Intel 8008 and 8080 in 1972 and 1974, respectively, with instruction set designed by Datapoint Corporation and intended to be used in more advanced calculators of the time.
Following these models Intel started a huge project that sought to reinvent the world of processors. In 1975 began the designs iAPX 432 architecture ( Intel Advanced Processor Architecture ) 32-bit, with improved multitasking and memory management for the family of 8000 , with an architecture designed in OOP and the ability to manage multiple processes simultaneously. However, seeing that competition preparing their new products (Motorola 6800, MOS 6502 or Zilog Z80) and considering how ambitious the project 432 which would require them to spend several years without a new product, they decided to start a new job Although initially could be considered temporary, is what has kept him busy for all these decades.
In May 1976 began developing a new processor that went on sale a couple of years later, in mid-1978.The Intel 8086 backward compatibility with software included in the previous 8008 and 8080, using transistors 3 microns (about 135 times larger than the current 22-nanometer) and a frequency of 4.77 MHz to Most important of all was the introduction of one new instruction set designed by Intel and called x86-16 . It was a small success for Intel, and while it was really powerful for the time its price was considered excessive. One of the most curious is that while 8086 was invented by Intel, other companies like OKI , Siemens, Fujitsu or AMD clones distributed in the market for this model fully compatible and even improved in some aspects of the original features.
A few months later, on July 1, 1979 was presented the Intel 8088 , a cheaper version of 8086 with virtually all of its features, and it took IBM to its main ally. The IBM PC 5150 , considered the first personal computer ('PC') massive sales history, used the 8088 to the detriment of other competing processors because of its high availability, ease of programming and low price. The IBM PC, which was about $ 3,000, was a best seller since its launch on August 12, 1981.
Intel was then positioned as its main product a new family of chips: the processors 'x86' , defined well by using the same set of instructions, but has evolved over the years, still uses many of the original features.
The 8086 is considered the first x86 history , although the model catapulted to fame was the Intel 8088. He was succeeded by the 80186, 80286, 80386 and 80486, known as 186, 286, 386 and 486 that were submitted during the 80's and early 90 teams in total under the concept that was created in the IBM PC, which was a complete success. After the Intel 80×86 moved to the well-known Pentium, Pentium with the first in 1993 followed by Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4. Even current Ivy Bridge keep the brand 'Pentium' in one of its lower-end models.
In turn, that iAPX 432 architecture so many expectations generated in its gestation was finally presented in 1981, but greatly disappointed users who felt that offered a much lower performance than expected. Intel abandoned a few months after filing the public.
From the first x86 back in the seventies, Intel has been responsible for moving the baton which is considered the main architecture CISC history , although not the only one: Motorola, DEC and especially IBM have submitted processors CISC throughout history. Its main characteristics are described later, but first we'll stop talking about an important topic: the x86 license .
x86 and licenses
We mentioned in the previous article of this series ARM architectures and designs its sold this intellectual property to other companies, in charge of making these designs, modify them if necessary and then order the production of the final processor. Intel takes a dual role of designer and manufacturer of its processors, as also sells licenses to other manufacturers.
The clearest example of company that will license Intel x86 architecture is found in AMD , who for decades Intel agreed to a contract that allows you make chips with the same instruction set, so that they are fully compatible although they use different hardware software. Currently, only AMD and VIAhave x86 licenses provided by Intel, besides itself logically. Market shares speak for themselves:
Intel X86 and its main features
The company's long experience has affected many and notable changes in many aspects, ranging from the improvement in the size of the data buses (16, 32 and now 64-bit) added multiple new instructions that have been adapted to the new uses of technology
For example the 8086 did not have floating point operations, which Intel pear created a math coprocessor to undertake the following: a small extension was called on x86 x87 and released under the name 8087, 80187, 80287, 80387, 80487 and the last 80 587, and the mid-90s. This was independent processors provided a certain extra performance in software, but rather assumed that the additional cost with respect to the original equipment was not considered very cheap. For a couple of decades all commercial x86 processors include instructions for floating point operations, which do not need an additional coprocessor except in certain very specific uses that require a high computing power, such systems as NVidia Tesla .
x86 has also been including new sets of instructions and older records to meet all kinds of tasks.MMX , adding the records used in the x87 architecture has been one of the best known and was included in a set of models based on the Pentium and launched in 1996, although there are many more: SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions in versions SSE , SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 and SSE4; introduced multiple data manipulation instructions for floating point, integer or memory locations), 3DNow! ( an evolution of MMX , also for graphics application) or AES (newest to encryption of data). In Wikipedia, see a brief summary of the commands available , although the most complete documentation is provided by Intel itself and consists of a few thousand pages.
If you take a look at the pair of links x86 will see that we will have hundreds of instructions , many complex instructions may be subdivided into several smaller. But the philosophy of CISC is precisely this: to provide a comprehensive set of instructions that may include multiple tasks simpler. The algorithm fried egg introductory our first entry was:
Step 1: Put the pan on the hob
Step 2: Pour oil
Step 3: Heat oil
Step 4: Wait until it is hot
Step 5: egg Cascar
Step 6: Pour carefully over the hot oil
Step 7: With the help of a palette, pour the oil over the egg
Step 8: Check the already cooked egg and, in that case, a plate out
Suppose that each of these 'steps' can run on an Intel 8088. However, playing the Intel proceed to launch the Pentium MMX with new instructions which are two new ones:
[Pouring and heat the oil] and
[Cascar egg and carefully pour the hot oil] , both more complex the above. If our algorithm were to use the result would be:
Step 1: Put the pan on the hob
Step 2: Pour the oil and heat
Step 4: Wait until it is hot
Step 5: Cascar egg and carefully pour the hot oil
Step 7: With the help of a palette, pour the oil over the egg
Step 8: Check the already cooked egg and, in that case, a plate out
A few years later we are designing Pentium 4 and decided to try a new instruction,
[Pouring and heat the oil until it reaches its optimum temperature] , which could again modify the algorithm:
Step 1: Put the pan on the hob
Step 2: Pour the oil and heat until it reaches its optimum temperature
Step 5: Cascar egg and carefully pour the hot oil
Step 7: With the help of a palette, pour the oil over the egg
Step 8: Check the already cooked egg and, in that case, a plate out
We could continue to add new increasingly complex instructions to complete our task, minimizing the number of
steps but still these increasingly complex. Even bringing philosophy to the extreme, if we see that our users / customers do many eggs fried in their developments might implement a single instruction:
Step 0: Make a fried egg
That would be the most complex of all.
Another fundamental aspect is performance x86 processors . Throughout history has proven to be a very powerful architecture , but this has its counterpart: are a set of processors that consume more energy than models ARM .
X86 architecture, conclusions
We end this chapter of our special architectures with some final conclusions on x86 , one of the most important in history.
X86 performance has grown substantially with each new generation of processors. Intel, as a great creator of the architecture has been adapted to new uses by users, not only adding new instructions but new chips. The latter has been introducing a graphics processing unit with the CPU , enabling cost savings and a set that while not overly powerful image processing, it is sufficient for many users.
The future of the x86 architecture to blend their traditional business desktops and laptops with this new category of devices 'portable', mainly phones and tablets. Intel has already introduced the technology in some devices with a remodeled Intel Atom low power , and throughout this year's confirmed its use in many other gadgets of various brands.
On the other hand, the great rival of x86 is ARM , an architecture whose growth in recent years is still important to get introduced in small devices, efficient and generally more attractive pricing, seducing many users. No doubt that Intel will continue to evolve its main architecture to new uses of technology and we will continue talking about it for many years.

Mumbai, Oct 21 (ANI): Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab appeared before the Bombay High Court via video-conferencing on Thursday, which is hearing arguments on confirmation of death sentence awarded to him for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case.
Kasab had earlier on Wednesday refused to appear via video link before the court.
A jail authority informed a division bench comprising Justices Ranjana Desai and R V More on Wednesday that Kasab has refused to attend the court.
Kasab had earlier on Tuesday demanded that he should be allowed to be physically present in the court.
The Bombay High Court began Kasab's hearing from October 18 in connection with the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
State's counsel Ujjwal Nikam opened arguments on the confirmation of death sentence awarded to Kasab.
Though a confirmation case requires the convict to be present during the hearings, but due to security reasons and as per the directive of the earlier court order, Kasab was to be produced through video conferencing from his high-security prison cell in Arthur Road jail.
The court is also likely to hear the state's plea against the acquittal of Kasab's co-accused Faheem Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed, who were acquitted for lack of evidence
A Mumbai Special Court on May 6 sentenced Kasab to death on four counts.
Judge M L Tahaliyani awarded death sentence for Kasab on-waging war against India, murder, conspiracy to murder, and participating in an act of terror under Unlawful Activity Prevention Act (UAPA).
Judge Tahaliyani felt that Kasab's crime fell under the judicial definition of "rarest of rare".
Kasab, who is the 52nd prisoner on death row in India, was also awarded life term on five other counts. (ANI)

TOPICS OF THE TIMES; Help the Horses
Published: October 4, 1989
Mayor Koch has a chance - his last - to go down in history as the Mayor who liberated New York City's carriage horses. He can do that by signing a measure that has already passed the City Council by a vote of 31 to 3. It would protect carriage horses from having to work when it is very hot, very cold, very humid or for more than eight hours at a stretch.
It would also limit use of horse-drawn carriages in midtown traffic, confining them to Central Park for much of their working day. And it would require better training of drivers.
Those opposed to this sensible, humane law are for the most part operators of horse-drawn carriages who fear the restrictions will put them out of business. Their fears aren't well grounded. But if that is the issue, the proper response is clear:
New York doesn't need an industry that ties traffic in knots and provides its citizens with images like the unforgettable photograph of Whitey, a carriage horse that collapsed from heat exhaustion during the summer on a midtown street.

Good 3.4 /5 from 184 reviews
Stay was only ok. Stayed two nights as it is close to the Corvette Museum. Room was very musty / moldy smelling. Average room at best. Hotel was very dirty especially the stairwells. Breakfast was terrible with a small seating area. The only good thing that it had going for it was that it was cheap. Definitely a get what you pay for facility. I would look for other options next time.
Traveling and wanted to spend time at the Corvette Facility. Chose the motel location for that reason.Was what we expected, ho ho hum.
unfortunately, not to good, we came in the room it was hot, no air on, turned on was very noisy., fridge unplugged, lights not plugged in, bulbs were no good in them, took shower , handle came off in my hand, looked at the mattress and it was in poor shape, , room didnt feel like it was cleaned well.
When we entered the room we found it very small and it was suppose to be Handicapped Accessible. The chair in the room was so stained up that we couldn't even set in it. We pulled back the covers to see if they were clean, which the were. We lifted the mattress and found all kinds of hair and very unclean. We found the bathroom in about the same condition. I travel a lot with my job and this possibly rate as one of the worst rooms I ever stayed in. Also you have to travel several miles to get something to eat, nothing within walking distance. One thing I will say nice about the hotel is the staff was friendly.

Title VII (The Civil Rights Act of 1964)
The Supreme Court opened its new term by agreeing to hear a case involving the power of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to compel an employer to turn over information during an investigation.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act does not protect employees who claim sexual orientation discrimination.
Transgender rights in the workplace garner national attention as the EEOC issues a Fact Sheet and the Department of Justice challenges North Carolina's enforcement of its Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act (House Bill 2).

Barton Creek From Camp Craft Road Entrance to Twin Falls Trail is a 2.9 mile moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Austin, Texas that features a waterfall. The trail is rated as moderate offers a number of activity options. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

The hill of life is a character building opportunity, but well worth it to see the nice views along the creek. The falls are especially scenic. Not quite as challenging as River Bend, but walking up the hill took the wind of of this big guys sails.
The one negative is there are simply too many dogs of their leashes which is against the rules anyway.
Great morning of exploring and hiking. loved it!!
This trail is very nice! Well shaded and has lots of rocks along the path! The views from the trail are amazing with the hills and waterfalls! The only downside is that this trail is VERY popular which means there's always a ton of people hiking the trail and hanging out by the falls so if you want a more quiet trail I wouldn't recommend this one. Very nice place to go swimming, chill in a hammock and hike! My dog loves to go swimming near the falls, we always have a great time!

I've explored most of this green belt during my summer here, but for some reason had not come here before. Big regret. This was my favorite portion. Lots of geocaching to be found, tons of small trails to wander around, and beautiful views.
This hike starts at the top of the hills surrounding the creek, then goes down to the bed and follows the creek to Twin Falls. The climb out on the way back can be a bit of a chore because it goes up and doesn't stop until the end. It is a good workout and during the spring or heavy rainy seaons, you can stop and go for a swim.

What is Eczema and How Do I Treat it?
A Distressing Skin Disorder
Eczema is one of the most distressing skin conditions and afflicts children and adults alike. Theories exist about the causes of the disorder but these are by no means definite and eczema can flair at any time without any obvious causes. However it can often be successfully treated. I have suffered from it on and off throughout my life but thankfully in recent years it has disappeared.
What are the Symptoms of Eczema or Atopic Dermatitis?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is a type of skin disorder or condition which manifests itself as a redness and inflammation of the epidermis or outer layer of the skin. Often the area can be covered with tiny blisters filled with lymph fluid and the underlying skin tissue can swell as fluid is released. The surface of the skin is sometimes scaly and can crack easily. Itching is a constant symptom of the disorder and this creates an "itch-scratch-itch" cycle where itchy skin is scratched, becomes raw and irritated, leading to more itchiness and then further scratching.
Eczema is non contagious since it is a disorder, not a disease. However damaged skin may become infected.
What Causes Eczema and Immune System Disorders
Normal skin is made up of an outer layer, middle layer and inner fat layer. One of the functions of skin is to act as a barrier to keep moisture in and harmful substances out. Normally water and oil in skin helps to maintain this function. However if you suffer from eczema, your skin doesn't produce the same quantity of fats and oils and can easily dry out, become cracked, scaly and prone to irritation. The result is an overreaction of the immune system and classic inflammation symptoms such as redness, swelling and blisters.
Soap and detergents can exacerbate the situation by removing natural oils from the skin. Cold frosty weather may also be detrimental as air humidity is often low and this dries out skin. Other chemical irritants and known allergens can also cause a flare up of eczema.
Eczema has a genetic component and often several members of a family will have symptoms of the condition.
My Personal Experience as an Eczema Sufferer
As a baby I had eczema on my face. It then disappeared until I was about ten at which point the back of my leg became itchy. Scratching led to irritation and redness and then further itchiness. As anyone who suffers from eczema knows, this "itch-scratch-itch" vicious circle is what tends to prolong eczema and keep it active. Eventually this phase of my eczema ended and I was free of the scourge for several years.
My next experience of the condition was when I was about 14. I was cutting privet hedges and had cut and scratched my little finger. I don't know whether this was the trigger factor but from what I can remember, the finger became itchy afterwards and soon I started getting this rash on my hand which spread from finger to finger and to the back of my hand. The symptoms were classic: redness, itchiness, water blisters, swelling and skin cracking. Over the next 20 years both of my hands became affected. The severity of the condition varied, ranging from a light rash to mildly swollen uncomfortable hands. If I got anxious, the condition worsened. At night I would scratch my itchy fingers and wake up in the morning with "angry" skin.
Treatment for Eczema
My GP prescribed hydro-cortisone steroidal anti-inflammatory cream. This is a standard treatment for skin inflammation and in my case it did help to reduce irritation and itchiness. These creams should be used with caution as they are well known to cause thinning of the skin if used for long periods.
I tried to eliminate various foods to see whether the condition was an allergic reaction. However I never discovered any correlation. Dairy products have a reputation for producing allergic reactions. I think I used soya milk for a period and eliminated cheese from my diet but there was no improvement.
I have tried to avoid washing my hands with soap as much as possible unless my hands are really dirty. Soap removes a lot of the natural oils from the skin, drying it out and making it prone to cracking. Hand creams are essential to replace this moisture. However some contain alcohol and while I can tolerate this to some extent on my hands, I have found that many moisturizers irritate and burn the skin on my face.
On frosty days I noticed that my skin cracked and split. While I used to think that this was caused by the cold, I reckon that low air humidity on frosty days caused my skin to dry out, become inflexible and crack.
Stress and anxiety seem to exacerbate the condition and cause a breakout of eczema in other parts of the body.
Does UV Cure Eczema?
Around 7 years ago my eczema disappeared. I had been doing a lot of welding without wearing gloves around this time, and as you may be aware, arc welding produces lots of UV radiation. It might be just coincidence or it could be a serendipitous discovery that UV cures the condition! (By the way I don't recommend or advise welding without gloves!). I recently did a Google search and came up with this article about UV treatment:
In Conclusion........
My eczema appears to have gone "into remission". Mild attacks occasionally re-occur but are confined to small areas of skin on my hands or feet. Usually this is due to excessive washing and scrubbing of my hands with soap, contact with washing up liquid and other detergents.

Hi eugbug! I find this hub about eczema very interesting and is well structured and well-written. As an eczema sufferer myself, I can see where you are coming from! I recommend trying Silcocks Base which is an emollient and can be substituted for soap. I have written my own hub about eczema called 'Silcocks Base: The Natural and Effective cure for eczema'. I will put a link to this hub from my hub and thank you for sharing this wonderful hub!
Hi eubug, our children have eczema in varying degrees. I've read a number of articles about eczema and I particularly liked your content and style of writing. Interesting and useful - cheers!
I hope in the future, they can make some of the powerful corticosteroids available today safer for general use. You wouldn't believe their effectiveness, but the immune system issues they cause allow certain microbes to make you sick.
Drink pure clear honey about 2-3 tablespoons every day and you would treat eczema. Please read my blog that I have wrote about eczema
Hi, I have suffered from Eczema and did a lot of research. I have found chickweed and Dandelion herbs healed my eczema. I do continue to take them everyday. I am now free of Eczema!

In Waning Winter, An 'Above Par' Snow-Kayaking Adventure
With snow cover stubbornly lingering and whitewater kayaking season still more than a month away, what's an impatient paddler to do? Easy: Snow-kayaking.
On a blustery, cloudy Saturday two weeks ago, with the temperature in the mid-40s, Salem native Garrett Seibert strapped on his backpack – the same pack he had been lugging nearly every day for the past five months – and began the final leg of a 2,184-mile journey.
As he climbed toward the 5,268-ft. summit of Maine's Mount Katahdin, he thought about the long slog from Georgia's Springer Mountain requiring some 5 million footsteps, the bone-numbing fatigue, the sore muscles, the rain, the mud, the mosquitoes, the countless pots of rice cooked over an alcohol stove he fashioned from a soda can.
But the higher Garrett ascended the more he thought about the days picking blueberries on the Bigelows of Maine, or gazing, seemingly forever, from the peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountains, or enjoying the "trail magic" hospitality of freshly cooked meals and treats from generous strangers down South.
By the time Garrett climbed atop a wooden sign marking both Katahdin's summit and the northern terminus of the fabled Appalachian Trail, a smile as big as a mountain range stretched across his face, and he spread his arms in elation.
Mission accomplished: Garrett had finished hiking one of the world's most celebrated footpaths, the Appalachian Trail.
All around him other hikers also were completing their journeys – some broke down in sobs, some shouted with joy – but Garrett mostly felt overwhelming relief and did not linger at the summit.
He simply turned around and began descending to the Katahdin Springs campground, where a car was waiting. Halfway down he met his parents, Michael and Kimberly Seibert, and sister, Kimberly, who had hiked up to greet him. The family hiked down together and then drove back to Connecticut – a memorable reunion.
"It was great," Garrett said.
He has set out on the trail April 1 with Matt Baer of East Lyme, a former classmate at East Lyme High School, but Matt was forced to drop out a week later after injuring his Achilles tendon.
Garrett quickly found other companions and traveled at various times the rest of the way with other through-hikers with such trail names as Misery, Shady, Mustard Tiger, Stumbles, Beacon and Mr. Frodo.
Every year several thousand hikers from around the world set out on the AT – most of them traveling northbound – but only a few hundred manage to cover the entire distance. Since the trail was completed in 1937, more than 13,000 hikers have gone the whole way.
When he finished on Aug. 3, Garrett was the 92nd hiker this year to reach Katahdin, out of 761 who had signed up in Georgia by April 1.
Garrett averaged about 18 miles of hiking a day and took only 12 days off in five months. His longest day was 35.5 miles; the hardest but most rewarding were in New Hampshire where the trail crosses the Presidential Range, and in Maine's Mahoosuc Notch, where a boulder-riddled section is known as the nastiest mile on the AT.
"It was the hardest, but also the 'funnest,'" he said.
It also rained for more than a week in Vermont's Green Mountains.
"Nothing but mud and roots," he said. "Some of the trails were more like rivers."
Garret, who graduated from East Lyme High in 2008 and earned a degree in ecotourism and outdoor recreation from New Hampshire's Plymouth State University recreation, plans to leave Salem in a few days and return to his job as an instructor at an adventure camp in California.
Next on the agenda: the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,663-mile path from the California-Mexico to the Washington-Canada borders – "but probably not for a few years."
Garrett said he wants to savor his experience on the AT, pay some college loans and also save some money for PCT hike.
"Hopefully, within the next five years," he said.

Mae Volume One is now available… and I have a comic in it!
Friday, February 17, 2017
Heads up, completists. I have a three page story in the new Mae Volume One TPB from Dark Horse Comics. This is the same one I co-wrote (with Mae creator Gene Ha) and as a thank-you for backers of its original Kickstarter edition — and Dark Horse's editors decided to include the story in the back matter of this new collection, along with a bunch of other short stories by other great creators.
BUT… I have a story in a Dark Horse-published book! That's cool!
If you're not familiar with Mae, it's an all-ages adventure comic by Gene Ha (Top Ten and a billion other comics). Here's the official Dark Horse synopsis:
When she was just a girl, Abbie discovered a portal to a fantasy world and has since had great adventures there: defeating horrible monsters, power-mad scientists, and evil nobles. But when she turned twenty-one it all came apart and she decided to return home. Her sister, Mae, had no idea what happened to Abbie all this time, and Abbie's tales are too hard to believe—that is, until the monsters and other terrible creatures start to cross over to our world . . . Collects issues #1–#6.
I highly recommend it. It is a lot of fun. You can learn more about Mae Volume One on Amazon.

Finding Support Resources for Type 1 Diabetes
This is part of the series, Misleading Gallbladder Diagnosis Leads To Better Diabetes Management
While I recovered for the next month, I roamed the Internet. Googling "diabetes," I hit the JDRF, ADA, CWD websites, but nothing for adults living with type 1. I looked at Yahoo! groups trying to find people like myself living with diabetes and again it was hard to find anything for adults with type 1. I decided that I would locally get back involved with JDRF hoping to connect with an adult type 1 diabetes community. I found a local Yahoo! group, but most of its members were parents. I joined anyway, hoping that some other adults would join eventually. After a couple of weeks, I learned that my experience growing up with diabetes proved invaluable to these parents. They wanted to know how I had managed to survive without complications.
I continued to feel frustrated that I was not finding a medical team that understood my need to live with diabetes! My mom had heard about a CDE, Certified Diabetes Educator, in Philadelphia. Gary Scheiner had written a book called Think Like a Pancreas and owned a small diabetes management business called Integrated Diabetes. Gary changed my complacency to action.
From this first meeting, I moved from Gary's care to another CDE in his office, Judy Tripathi, who has become my diabetes mom! She has taught me more about eating and carb counting, she has too has lived with type 1 for more than 40 years and is in great health!
I also found a new endocrinologist, Dr. Caroline Huang. She has learned to walk in the door with her hand out, as I always have some research study to share and I pick her brain on the subject. The more I do this, the less I feel confined by diabetes. I always thought I would hate this job, talking about diabetes. I have learned that it empowers me to be independent of the complications, lack of understanding and complacency. Knowing the business of diabetes makes me my own best advocate.
My gallbladder was the catalyst for change. And I'm hoping my story helps people realize management is 50/50. Don't sit on your hands and don't let routine guide you. Don't let someone talk you out of being your own best advocate. Education on this disease comes in many forms, talking with others who have it, getting involved with sites like this can offer community, especially if you are isolated!
Don't let the learning curve rest with your doctor! Take it upon yourself to be well educated on your health and your diabetes! If you think something is off and the doctors don't get it, don't become complacent or give up. If you are struggling and need support, that's what sites such as this are designed for. Here are some sites geared for adults living with type 1:
As a last note, after much pushing, the JDRF Capitol Chapter put together a group called AT1, Adults with Type 1, a social meet up for DC locals. We meet once a month and the gatherings have grown quickly. The concern at first was that this would be a cost to the chapter using funds raised for research and in fact the group is self-sufficient. Our last outing had 80 respondents and we packed the bar! It cost JDRF nothing. In fact, it gave them a resource for needed volunteers! Don't be afraid to take the first step in creating local outreach! Start with a Yahoo! group and build from there!

Lavish vinegar feast tantalises tastebuds
PUBLISHED : Monday, 27 February, 1995, 12:00am
UPDATED : Monday, 27 February, 1995, 12:00am
AN eight-course banquet celebrated vinegar, with every dish sprayed, sprinkled, dressed and marinated in the stuff.
That was the feast set before the epicureans that are the Chaine des Rotisseurs, gathered in the ballroom of the Grand Hyatt, with Dr Georg-Heinrich Wiedemann on hand to explain his fascination with this ancient liquid.
Characters out of the Masked Ball provided further colour to a grand, and tasty, occasion.

Freedom Park is a great open space for you and your doggies to run, play, and splash off lease. If your there for a stroll, you may prefer sticking to the west side and heading to the river trains, unless you want to play with the Fidos.

Easy hike. Clean restrooms. We spent an hour here just walking around. Cool place for small kids to play. In town so easy to get to. Free fun. Who doesn't like that?
Freedom park has a great playground for the kiddos, a fountain to run through in the summer, a skate park, volleyball courts, a dog walking area with a pond and multiple fields. It has almost everything for the kids in all of us looking to get outside and do something in the fresh air for free!
The park is quiet place with nice views up and down the valley - nothing spectacular but pleasant. Wife and I like to watch the dogs play in the small lake; we also like walking over to the skate park on the week-ends.
The splash park is wonderful in the summer, the playground is great, many choices for your kids to choose from
This is a wonderful park for children, adolescents, adults and dogs! There is/are playground equipment, ball fields(including volleyball) walking/biking trails, and an off-leash dog park on the shores of a charming lake. On one of the trails around the lake, there is a moving memorial to those who lost their lives on 9-11 with a slab from the Pentagon. We...
Great place to take my dog and look at a piece of history from 9/11 world trade center disaster. Not a huge place but just a nice park to hang out in with water feature.
with your family...Freedom Park is the one. The skateboard park is great...old and young play so well together there. Playground for the little guys, bike path for mom to go for a run and the river is only a couple of minutes away so you dog can have some fun too.
... wait everybody in the Valley has the dog off leash all the time so that must be not the reason to come here.
Anyway the dogs seem to love it to chase each other or swim in the lake.

Vienna (AFP) Dec 20, 2016
A farmer's cows in western Austria will swap their traditional bells for GPS trackers after the owner of a holiday home complained that the noise was irritating his guests.
Some might think the gentle clonk of cowbells is as much a part of the Alpine landscape as soaring peaks and wooden chalets, but the noise drove landlord Guenter Frick to bring charges against farmer Engelbert Laengle last summer.
The cows were making a "hell of a noise" every time they drank from the metal water trough in a field near his property in the picturesque town of Zwischenwasser in Vorarlberg state, close to the Swiss border, Frick told the court at the time.
But Laengle, whose family has been in the farming business for 300 years, insisted the bells had to stay, arguing they were essential in locating his herd.
On Tuesday, the quarrelling sides finally came to an amicable arrangement: Frick will fork out 3,000 euros to equip the cows with silent tracking devices.
"I hope the farmer will have a lot of fun with the GPS," he told public broadcaster ORF.
The solution "respects the interests of both parties", commented Laengle's lawyer Josef Lerchner.

Unlearned Typography
If you think about it, the craft of typography is little more than the combination of three simple things: attention to detail, common sense and visual acuity. Sure, there are typographic rules and guidelines, but they are, for the most part, just based on what is sensible and pleasing to the eye. Learning to identify the parts of a character may increase a designer's business vocabulary, and knowing the lineage of modern Garamond designs may aid in the choosing of a good modern revival of the face, but the real key to typographic success is basically just "sweating the details" and a simple coordination of mind and eye.
Take, for instance, the typographic rule of avoiding all cap headlines. It's one of the first typographic rules on an educator's hit lists. It's also one of the first rules professional graphic designers break. The tenet about not setting all capitals, however, is really based on little more than simple logic. Capital letters take up more space than lowercase letters—up to 30% more space. Headlines, subheads and pull-quotes are about setting brief blocks of copy in a relatively small space. It's only common sense to use the most space-efficient letters: lowercase. Sure, there's all that stuff about how "word shapes" (made from ascending, descending and x-height lowercase letters) help us to read faster and that all capitals only create rectangles as visual identifiers, but just the fact that the little letters can pack more information than capitals into a given piece of design real estate, ought to be enough reason to rely on them.
Oh, it helps to know when to use an em-dash instead of an en-dash or that "smart quotes" are preferable to foot and inch marks, but so much of what it takes to create good typography is just paying attention to the type.
Points, picas, line spacing, and kerning are only the mechanics. Software applications are just tools. It takes common sense and a careful eye to create communication that is inviting, makes an impact, focuses attention, organizes information and creates a mood – ultimately giving life and personality to the printed word.

But this time, Nowitzki missed the mark, the Mavericks' comeback fell short and the Miami Heat held on for the Game 3 victory and took a 2-1 series lead. In an interview with Boyet Sison on ANC's Hardball, TJ Manotoc said that Miami's coach, Erik Spoelstra, praised two of his big men who were vital to the victory. "Coach Erik Spoelstra credited his two big men for gutting it out and winning the game for them," said Manotoc, who is covering the game in Dallas, Texas. The first is Chris Bosh, who hit the game-winning baseline jumper for Miami. "When Coach Spoelstra called that play, it was actually the pick-and-roll for Dwyane Wade with LeBron James," said Manotoc. "They do that very rarely, but they like to do that sometimes in late game situations to surprise the defense of the other team." With James and Wade both being double-teamed, Bosh was left wide open and hit the biggest shot of the game. "Bosh hasn't been the most consistent guy among the Big Three, and he's had his bad games. But a big shot is a big shot," Manotoc added. Bosh had 19 points in Game 1 but struggled from the field, shooting only 5-of-18. In Game 2, he scored only 12 points. This time, Bosh had 18 points on 7-of-18 shooting. Spoelstra also commended Udonis Haslem, who had the tough task of guarding Nowitzki. Manotoc said that Spoelstra knew that Nowitzki can hit a fade away, and had done so many times before. "He was just happy that Haslem stayed in front of him, forced him to a fadeaway and not given him the drive," Manotoc added. In Game 2, Nowitzki had spun past Bosh for the game winning lay-up, capping the Mavericks' historic comeback. Manotoc reported that the Miami Heat are finally getting into a rhythm, both offensively and defensively. Dallas will have to come up with some answers, especially for the duo of James and Wade. "If they (the Mavericks) want to beat the Heat, who play the best defense in the league, they have to be at the top offensive level," he said.

There is always a trigger for bad behavior. I generally try to understand what is causing the bad behaviour and treat the cause first. No, I would be embarrassed and apologise to my friend first. Then I would talk to ds to see if I could find out why...was he tired, bored, feeling neglected etc. And try to remedy the situation peacefully. If it couldnt be done i would apologise and leave. I like to negotiate consequences with ds and would do that in the car on the way home.

Haul **** outta there and probably seek medical advice, because if my daughter was doing that it would be so far from normal that it would signify a huge problem.
They would taken straight outside, than depending on what child it was and their level of special needs if any at all, we would work out what to do from there. I would than ring my friends and apologise and try and make amends after I had dealt with the child.
The child has no special needs and was not unsettled, they just seemed to believe this behavior was fine. The mother (someone I was at lunch with today) did nothing, even smiled at the child while they spat in her face and it was only on the tenth hard punch to her head that she said "that's not making me feel happy."
My DS1 is naughty at times but I always explain why it's not ok and insist on kind and respectful behavior.
Just wanted to make sure others would have raised their eyebrows at the restaurant moment too!
There was also a moment today when DS1 was being bossy to this child so I asked him not to and reminded him to ask nicely. The mother said with a smile "oh don't worry, if he's bossy my child will just punch him" er.... no.

1- run backwards and forwards yelling at the top of their voice in a crowded restaurant. She would be in hardcore trouble. At 5, she knew that crap wasn't on. There are ways to behave in public, and that's not one of them. I'd let her know i was angry and there would be consequences, like no XYZ for a week or something.
2 - spit in your face and your friends faces. I would YELL. Then I'd send her to her room and make some sort "No TV for 2 weeks!" kind of punishment. When I had calmed down (and apologised to my friends profusely - something she would also be required to do!), I would explain to her why that was so very disgusting and how if I EVER catch her doing something so revolting again, the punishment will be much worse.
3 - hit you hard on the head repeatedly. - As above.
