Diabetes is a disease which is characterized by high level of glucose in the bloodstream. The glucose present in the blood provides energy to the body for performing several activities. When a person is suffering from diabetes, glucose does not get absorbed into the cells and remains in the blood. This condition has a damaging effect on the cells of the body where the glucose is badly needed for the fuel purpose. If it is left uncontrolled, then the damage is not just confined to the cells of the body but will affect some of the vital organs of the body as well that include kidneys and lungs. For a better understanding of how to control diabetes without medication, you must know about its causes first
Causes of Diabetes
The body controls the level of blood sugar with the help of various hormones. One such hormone is insulin which is being produced by the pancreas. This hormone enable the sugar present in the blood to move into the cells where it acts as a source of energy. Diabetes is commonly categorized into two different forms: Type 1 and Type 2. When a person's body fail to produce adequate amount of insulin, then it leads to type 1 diabetes. This condition arises when the immune system starts attacking the insulin producing cells of the pancreas and destroy them. On the other hand, in type 2 diabetes, the body cells of the patient fail to utilize insulin properly. In other words, the cells develop some kind of resistance towards insulin. Genetic factors along with a number of environmental factors like some specific viral infections or alcohol abuse are often held responsible for type 1 diabetes. In large number of people, type 2 diabetes is genetic and has been found to run in their families. Besides, obesity, high blood pressure, high fat diet are few other major risk factors for this condition.
How to Control Diabetes Without Medicines
Both types of diabetes are mainly treated with insulin and various other diabetic medicines that need to be administered either orally or through injections. The exact dosage of the medicines are ascertained according to the health condition of the patient. Along with the medicines, some changes in diet and lifestyle are also needed. However, in some cases where blood sugar readings are normal, doctors may advise the patient to stop the medicines and start controlling it by natural means. A few helpful steps in this regard are as follows:
Select Right Kind of Foods
If you have diabetes, that does not mean that you have to eliminate carbohydrates and fats completely from your diet. In fact, your body need them to maintain a good energy level. Include some healthy carbohydrates and fats in your diet. Some source of good carbohydrate are bread, rice, pasta, cereals, etc. These are starchy foods and get absorbed into the body at a slow pace and provide you with good amount of energy. Similarly, unsaturated fats that are found in olive oil, grape seed oil, corn oil are quite beneficial for supplying energy without causing any harm to the patient. Dietary fiber present in fruits and vegetables plays a significant role in controlling diabetes. It delays the release of glucose into the blood by slowing down the digestive process. In short, a proper diet for diabetic patient should have high amount of fiber and protein rich foods and low quantity if fatty foods and sugary foods.
Avoid Unhealthy Fats and Carbohydrates
Sugary substances present in sweets, chocolates, sweet biscuits, soft drinks, etc. are readily absorbed into the bloodstream and increase the blood sugar level quite fast. Saturated fats present in fatty meats, whole milk, butter, etc. adversely affect the circulation system. Hence, one should stay away from all such foods.
Eat Consistently
A consistent diet is as important as eating healthy foods. This will ensure that the number of calorie intake remains uniform throughout the day which is essential for avoiding any major fluctuations in the blood sugar level. It is advisable that you consult a dietitian before planning your meals. They can guide you about the kind of foods to be included in your meals and their quantities.
Regular Exercising
Exercising for 20-30 minutes a day is necessary for naturally controlling diabetes. This kind of physical activity also reduce the chances of other health complications like heart disease and kidney problems in diabetic patients. You can select any kind of aerobic exercise that you like. Simply, a brisk walking is also good for your health. If everyday exercising is not possible, then make sure you do it at least three times in a week.
Stop Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol can either lower or increase glucose level in the blood. Moreover, it tends to increase triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood. Therefore, it will be better if you abstain alcohol altogether. If you cannot, then make sure you consume it in moderation.
Quit Smoking
Diabetic patients who are smoker need to quit the habit immediately. This is because smoking causes substantial damage to the blood vessels and contribute towards several health complications that include poor circulation in the extremities of the body, nerve damage, kidney disease, etc. If required, talk to your health care provider who will provide you with right guidance or quitting the habit.
Manage Stress
Mental stress has a negative impact on the functioning of the insulin hormone and aggravate the problem. To avoid this, you must keep your mind free from stress. Sleeping is an excellent way of relaxing your mind. You can learn some relaxation techniques like breathing exercises and meditation to keep your stress levels in check.
The summary of this article that a holistic approach is needed when it comes to check blood sugar levels without using any medicines. Moreover, you have to monitor the blood sugar level on a regular basis and keep a record of the results. If you notice any major change in the results, be it increase or decrease in blood sugar level, doctor should be consulted. This is because both high or low levels of sugar in blood is harmful for your health.

Seeing Another Child Who You Think Is On The Spectrum...What to do?

Re: Seeing Another Child Who You Think Is On The Spectrum...What to do?
Since you are so private with your son, maybe this coach and wife are also private...Perhaps he gets therapy and they just don't talk about it! You cannot know everything.
They want him to have as many sensory experiences as possible.
I would not say one word--
unless you want to tell coach that
your own son is on the spectrum
and he has been in therapy for x number of years -- I doubt if you want to do that since not talking about it is working well for your son.
Also, you should not presume to diagnose another child --You can never be sure what is actually afflicting a child.
Stimming may or may not be because of ASD.
As others have said, talking about your own son FIRST is the only approach that seems appropriate.
One pediatrician who specializes in RSV and it's lingering affects and 2 therapists have said labeling is counter productive except for insurance coverage.
Once the label is there it sticks and changes people's behavior toward your child. And many children "come out of it" especially children who are not autistic but just SID. they learn to deal with their sensory issues and a label is not appropriate in any way.
Many children have different neurological issues and they learn to manage these thru therapy and the maturation of the brain.
this family has chosen to remain private and I would respect that.

Dear Perritte family,
With a blessed combination of joy and sadness I write to share with you the news that Bishop Huie and the Cabinet of the Texas Annual Conference has appointed me to be pastor of Mission Bend United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas, effective July 1, 2014. Our last Sunday together will be June 22nd.
We had planned on making Nacogdoches our home and Perritte our church for many years to come, but our youngest son's medical situation changed so many things about our life. You all know, because you have been praying for him over the last year, how difficult a start to life he had, and how the healing ministry practiced at Texas Children's Hospital played a pivotal role in him becoming the healthy 11-month-old boy he is today. While he continues to improve, we still face a long road ahead with much uncertainty. Serving in Southwest Houston will place us just minutes away from several campuses of TCH, which I firmly believe is the best children's hospital in the world.
Christie and I have been praying for God's wisdom and the best hope for everyone's future for months now, and we believe the Holy Spirit has moved in the life of the church, conference, and cabinet to prepare a place for us. This is an exciting ministry opportunity for us, especially as we will be serving at the same congregation to reach a dynamic, diverse community in the name of Jesus Christ. As we share the Good News and the importance of a church home among new people, make no mistake: we will tell about the time — when we needed it the most — our faith community at Perritte came together to give us time, prayer, support, and love. I am humbled to have served you for the last 3 years, and to continue in friendship with you for many more years to come. Please join us in prayer for one another as we make this change in ministry and life.
Gary Johnson and our Staff-Parish Relations Committee are already sharing the needs and strengths of Perritte with our District Superintendent, Rev. Chuck Huffman, and the rest of the Cabinet. We know you are eager to hear who the new pastor will be; please know that as soon as they can share that with you, you will know! There is much ministry and mission ahead and we want to make sure that we transition into new leadership with strength, energy, and forward movement.
One of my favorite writers, the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, was a Jesuit priest and so he also knew about itinerancy: following the call of the Holy Spirit as well as those who supervise and lead our connectional ministry. He wrote a friend after taking up residence at a new ministry setting that,
"I am so far as I know permanently here, but permanence with us is gingerbread permanence, cobweb, soapsud, and frost-feather permanence."
It is a bittersweet way to be in ministry together, especially right now as spring thaws out the "frost-feather" permanence of our life together. But the beauty found in this time is made all the more intense because it was not long. May God bless you and keep you, making his face to shine upon the people of Perritte, and lifting up his presence across Nacogdoches in this time.
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Josh Hale

The following stories have been hand-selected by the Assignment Desk at News4:
WHO Warns of Pneumonia-Flu Link
The World Health Organization urged doctors Friday to treat suspected swine flu cases as quickly as possible with antiviral drugs, warning that the virus can cause potentially life-threatening viral pneumonia much more commonly than the typical flu, sometimes in relatively young, otherwise healthy people. (Washington Post)
All Flu Vaccines Becoming Scarce
Although the shortage of the H1N1 vaccine has been getting all the attention, the seasonal flu vaccine is becoming just as scarce, and county health officials are scrambling to cope with rising demand for both. The Anne Arundel County Health Department has filled all the available spots in its clinics for the H1N1, or swine flu, vaccine. Clinics giving both the nasal spray and injectable dosages began yesterday as part of a three-week schedule of clinics in Annapolis, Odenton and Glen Burnie. (Hometown Annapolis)
New Speed Camera Law Cost Montgomery Co.
In the past, speeding tickets have been issued to those driving 11 mph or more over the speed limit. However, a change in state law enacted Oct. 1 has pushed the threshold to 12 mph. The new state law also requires the cameras to be shut off after 8 p.m. in school zones and on weekends. These changes will mean less revenue for the county, which was on track to bring in $62.9 million since the program began by the end of fiscal 2010. (Gazette.net)
Rabbi Fired for Talking About Museum Shooting
A hospital rabbi who comforted the family of the security guard who was killed at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has been fired for speaking and writing about the experience. Rabbi Tamara Miller wrote on a Washington Post blog in June that "racism and bigotry rang out on the National Mall" when a shooter walked up to the museum on June 10 and killed security guard Stephen T. Johns. (WTOP)
Friday Night Lights Coming to TC Williams
For those Alexandria football fans that have been faithfully keeping score at home since 1969, this week — 40 years later — carries special significance. When the T.C. Williams Titans run onto the field at Parker-Gray Memorial Stadium this Saturday afternoon against W.T. Woodson, it will mark the city's fourth decade of public high school football without the allure and pageantry of nighttime home games. (Alexandria Times)

10) 9/11 was an inside job
- building 7 was pulled, no plane ever touched it!
- The Pentagon's hole that was created was by a missle not a plane, the size of the plane that was said to have hit it was way too small!!
9) The illumanti fund goverments
- Where do you think the goverments get the money for all there electoral campaigns!! imagine i guy in the illumanti saying.. "ill pledge £50,000 if you pass this law that will benefit me"
- The press also do this, in the UK there is a newspaper called, "The Sun" (sun god) and whoever they campaign for always gets into power, one of the wealthiest men in the world owns this paper.
8) They own the tv and everything you watch
- Every big channel is owned pretty much by the same people, with the same agenda, brainwashing the population into what they think, they can show anything and slowly change your views into whatever they want!
7) You will never get rich
- You may make a good income, lets say a few thousand a year, but the world is structured to keep you spending, and losing income. The real rich list is full of wealthy land owners! we are told as children you can earn a good wage if you study hard and maybe... just maybe land a nice job and you can buy the things you dont need to put in that massive house with your nice car and the person you love can enjoy too.
6) Who prints the money
I always wondered, how can governments run out of money? Dont they make it? well no! The industry is private (banks). The banks control the interest rate and the value of each currency.
5) War
- The illuminati plan wars years in advance, and even many presidents of other countries know about it and do not speak up! NATURAL resources are dried up on the main illuminati countries and therefore they invade the resource rich countries.
- Dont you find it weird that you can join the army at 16, but you cant buy a computer game called modern warfare 3 unless you are 18 and above.
4) Funding of wars
- They dont care who wins wars! you'll be shocked at how many well known companies actually make weapons. For example Rolls Royce since world war 2, have been making weapons to fund BOTH sides of wars, they win either way! countries are then in debt to big banks and companies, i think Germany just paid off their debt from world war not to long ago and still have army restrictions.
3) The stock market is a con
- If you own 50% worth £1million, of a company and the market crashes, that £1 million will either lose its value within the second or, take a few days to drop day by day. The illumanti do this to buy up more shares and crash even more companies till they own everything! Watch the next recession how many companies quickly go back to normal after a few months with new owners.
2) The one world government (NWO)
- The plan has been a one world government, with a world currency, world army and world bank. To own and control all! The steps are already in place now, with the EU, the sotuh american and north american union. its unfolding before our eyes.
1) There is no democracy and there never will be
- The way i view it is, you only have dictators to choose from in elections , if it was a true democracy, you could vote for anybody you like... including your cat! Its an illusion of freedom of choice, you have no choice, we have owners!

And I guess that's the problem. There are not enough dances and partnerships to get a truly random affect, even if they are choosing from a hat. But I still think that the evidence says they are NOT picking from a hat. Statistically, the chances of Melissa being the one to pull a Pas De Deux, not to mention some of the other picks, is even less likely than everything turning out equally random for everyone.
Frankly I don't think that the dances should be random. They should sit down at the beginning of the season and say OK - every dancer should get at least one contemporary, one latin ballroom, one Broadway, etc, etc. That would be the most fair, imo.

The No Asshole Rule is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Business Week bestseller. It won a Quill Award for the top business book of 2007, and was recently chosen as one of audible.com's top picks as well.
This meticulously researched book, which grew from a much buzzed-about article in the Harvard Business Review, puts into plain language an undeniable fact: the modern workplace is beset with assholes. Sutton (Weird Ideas that Work), a professor of management science at Stanford University, argues that assholes-those who deliberately make co-workers feel bad about themselves and who focus their aggression on the less powerful-poison the work environment, decrease productivity, induce qualified employees to quit and therefore are detrimental to businesses, regardless of their individual effectiveness. He also makes the solution plain: they have to go. Direct and punchy, Sutton uses accessible language and a bevy of examples to make his case, providing tests to determine if you are an asshole (and if so, advice for how to self-correct), a how-to guide to surviving environments where assholes freely roam and a carefully calibrated measure, the "Total Cost of Assholes," by which corporations can assess the damage. Although occasionally campy and glib, Sutton's work is sure to generate discussions at watercoolers around the country and deserves influence in corporate hiring and firing strategies. (Feb.)

Ducati signs Spies and Iannone for Pramac
12 September 2012 – Ben Spies (pictured) and Andrea Iannone will be riding for Ducati satellite outfit Pramac for the 2013 MotoGP season, it was confirmed on Wednesday. As the Italian steps up from Moto2, the American switches from Yamaha where he has been replaced by returning Valentino Rossi.
'Having already confirmed Nicky Hayden and announced Andrea Dovizioso for the Ducati Team, the Italian manufacturer now reaffirms its confidence in and commitment to the MotoGP World Championship, finalizing its line-up for next season with two riders who are fast and competitive,' reads the Ducati statement.
'At the same time, the partnership has been renewed between Ducati and Pramac Racing, which will continue to be entrusted with management of the satellite team. The two riders, who have a direct link with the company, will be supplied with official equipment.'
From the start of next season, Ducati will receive ever greater support from German automobile manufacturer Audi, which bought out the company in April.

Bills have been drama kings so far
Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone knows what his team is doing to its fans.
He's going through it himself.
"I'm not going to lie to you, it's not adding years to my life or any of our fans as they watch it," Marrone said of the preponderance of close games his team has been involved in through the first seven weeks of the season.
Just how close have they been?
The closest in team history. Buffalo's seven games this season have been decided by a total of just 31 points, an average of 4.4 points per game. The previous closest total margin of victory through the first seven games of the season was 38 points in 1998, an average of 5.4 per game. Last season, the average margin of victory through the first seven weeks was more than two possessions, at 16.9 points per game.
Every Bills game this year has had a final score within one possession, save the 37-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. In that game, the Bills got the ball back down by six points with 2:19 to play, but backup quarterback Jeff Tuel threw a game-deciding pick-six to Browns safety T.J. Ward.
"Everyone is just playing as hard as they possibly can," Marrone said. "I think one of the things we look at is how the players are playing. We do need to improve. We have a lot to work on, there's no doubt about that. As far as our effort and trying to get things right, that's there - despite all the injuries and adversity that we've had."
Chief among that adversity has been injuries. Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd and cornerback Stephon Gilmore missed the first five games of the season, rookie quarterback EJ Manuel was hurt against the Browns and running backs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller have battled various minor injuries most of the year.
"Obviously we'd like to be sitting better than 3-4, but we're fighting," center Eric Wood said. "We've had a lot of adversity. There's not a ton of teams playing our schedule, against the defenses we're playing with a pretty good rotation at quarterback, we missed Stevie Johnson for a game, we've missed other receivers for games, two dinged up running backs, shuffling the offensive line and still putting up points and still going out there and fighting week to week.
"Playing every team tough and putting ourselves in position to win. We're not making all the plays at the end, which we need to do a better job of, but we're out there fighting. Credit to the coaches putting us in good position and the guys go out there and try."
Close games are not exclusive to the Bills. Through Week Seven, 74 of 107 games (69.2 percent) have been within seven points in the fourth quarter, the most such games through the first seven weeks of a season in NFL history (there were 73 such games in 2004).
Of the 107 games in the league thus far, 29 of them (27.1 percent) have been decided by a fourth-quarter comeback victory. That puts the 2013 season on pace for the second-highest percentage of games with a fourth-quarter comeback victory since 1970, when 31.3 percent of games (70 of 224) had one.
The Bills had a fourth-quarter comeback victory in Week Two against Carolina.
"We're a team that's fighting and trying to get over this," Marrone said. "We haven't been in the playoffs in 12 years. We know it's out there. It's not the elephant in the room – we talk about it all the time. We're fighting, fighting, fighting and that's what we're going to keep on doing."
Marrone was actually off by a year. It's been 13 years since Buffalo's last postseason appearance, and a 3-4 start means it will be a difficult – but not insurmountable – challenge to end it this year.
Since 1990, 32 teams had a losing record after seven games and advanced to the playoffs. Two teams - Cincinnati and Washington - accomplished the feat last year.
"At some point it's going to start to break," Marrone said. "That's what you're seeing right now. You're seeing a group of guys that care about each other, at least that's what I see when I'm around them."
Belief in quarterback Thad Lewis - who has gone 1-1 in replace of Manuel - is high.
"I think that is a very, very important thing," Marrone said, "when you have someone at that position and the players think you can win with them."
"I appreciate it as a coach, how they handle themselves professionally. How they go about it and how they're playing. Granted we're not happy with the record or where we're at, but we're working at changing that every single day."

Baylor Law Selects Newest 'Top Gun'June 23, 2008
by Julie Carlson, director of communications, Baylor Law School, (254) 710-6681
Rory Brewton, a third-year Baylor law student from Houston, was named the Law School's "Top Gun" in the recent Wortham Top Gun contest. She defeated Sorana Ban in the three-hour final round.
The mini-trial competition, which is held twice a year, is a week-long contest that pits student against student to find the one with the best courtroom skills. The spring 2008 competition centered on a libel case, in which a Lithuanian man was suing a professor for naming him as a Nazi war criminal in a book. The winner is decided on advocacy skills, not the merit of the case. Brewton, who had approximately two weeks to prepare for the competition, represented the plaintiff in the final round.
"I love being in the courtroom," she said. "I chose to come to Baylor Law School because I wanted to practice in Texas and I wanted to be a litigator. After three years, I can say that I feel very prepared to practice. There is no better place for training in trial advocacy."
Brewton received her bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia. During law school, Brewton participated on three moot court teams and was named a Top 10 advocate at the 2007 ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition and ranked in the top 10 speakers at the 2007 National Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition. She will graduate from law school in August and has been hired by the Houston firm of Looper Reed & McGraw, P.C.
The Wortham Top Gun contest is generously funded by the Honorable Robert and Karen Wortham. The competition builds on the tradition of mini-trial competitions that were held during the tenure of Professor Emeritus Matt "Mad Dog" Dawson.
As the winner, Brewton received $3,000 and the coveted "Mad Dog," an 18-inch bronze statuette of the legendary Baylor law professor. She also will have her name and photo displayed on a wall plaque in the Law School. As a finalist, Ban will receive $1,000.

Placing ads in the websites and blogs is the popular way to earn money. Many website/blog owners are using Google AdSense, Chitika, Bidvertiser and other advertising networks to display ads in their website. They also use static banners from various affiliates. Traffic is the single most important factor for generating revenue. If you don't have visitors for your website and blog there is no questions of clicks which is the key for earning money by any ways. Good traffic depends on quality contents and SEO. Here I assume that there is sufficient traffic to the website/blog but publisher is not able to motivate their visitors to click on ads. Clicks are the key to generate revenue. There are two main reasons for lesser clicks – first is an inappropriate ads and second is wrong placement of the ads. Inappropriate means not matching with the contents of the website. When you display ads from well established advertising networks like Google AdSense and Chitika, who has comprehensive list of advertisers, then question of inappropriate ads not arises. Therefore placement of ads is very important.
Ads may come in contextual, image or video formate. Whatever is the form, widely used sizes of these ads are listed below.
- Leaderboard (728 x 90)
- Banner (468 x 60)
- Half Banner (234×60)
- Button (125×125)
- Skyscraper (120×600)
- Wide Skyscraper (160×600)
- Small Rectangle (180×150)
- Vertical Banner (120 x 240)
- Small Square (200 x 200)
- Square (250 x 250)
- Medium Rectangle (300 x 250)
- Large Rectangle (336 x 280)
Placement of above sized ads in your website is very important. You should add the required code in the main html/css file to streamline the appearance of ads there without doing any additional work. However you can add these ads at any place wherever you want. There are limitations on number of ads which can appear on a single page (please refer to your advertising network guidelines). Google AdSense allow maximum of 3 contextual ads per page. Placing the ads is not the only thing you should worry about. It should be placed at appropriate place. It should come as part of your website/blog contents. Following are the proven placed to add "ad blocks" having revenue generation potential.
1) Top of the website
2) Sidebars
3) Start and end of the post/article
4) Middle of the article
A sample of good placement of ad blocks is shown in following figure.
Although placement of ads in above mentioned places has proven value, one shoe never fit all feet. There is no single formula for the success for everybody. You should always try experimenting with different locations. If some ad block is not getting sufficient clicks, you should try other locations. There is no use of wasting time continuing the wrong locations. All advertising networks provide option to put a label to particular ad unit which is embedded in the code. So you can easily track which place of your ad is getting more clicks. Regularly monitor the progress and do the needful subsequently. Ways to add label in ad codes is discussed in another article.

It wasn't that long ago we were reveling in the launch of London's latest tallest building, The Shard, which by far is the tallest building in the capital and one of the most prominent sights on the skyline.
Just a matter of months since its launch and the city is in the running to become home to the 'ultimate' skyscraper a project being undertaken by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, according to this article by London Loves Business.
The building would tower more than a mile above the ground, making it five times the height of The Shard. But it's not a matter of when it's built, more like where. London is just one of a handful of the world's leading cities which has been asked to pitch for the job, with others including Shanghai, New York and Moscow having also been asked.
At Addicted To Property, we think a building of this size could be verging on obscene and instead of adding to our eclectic architecture, it could actually have a negative impact on our city's diverse and beautiful skyline. While it would be a novelty, we'd like to see the competition for the tallest of the tall taken elsewhere.

Session: Selling Up – Convincing Senior Management about Social Media
Panelists: Brian Cavoli, VP of Agency Marketing of Digital Influence Group; Laura Fitton, Founder of Pistachio Consulting; Lawrence Liu, Director of Platform Strategy of Telligent. Moderator: David Meerman Scott, Marketing Strategist of World Wide Rave.
David: Who do we convince them?
Laura: Step off about how cool this stuff is. Be respectful of their positions, and demonstrate value. If this stuff is handled correctly, we can show measurable results.
David: Lawrence, how might you have done stuff like this at Microsoft [previous company]?
Lawrence: Measurements and stats will matter more in the next year. It will be interesting to see when people will stop asking about ROI and start focusing on doing more with the tools.
Brian: Social media has changed in the past few years, it's become a lot more of a business decision and showing the impact it'll have on business. What's it's value? It's more of an economic discussion about what it's bringing to the table.
David: What do you guys feel are the "right" things to measure?
Brian: It's a whole new opportunity to measure. You can really get to the quality of discussions as opposed to just straight data. You have more than just things like volume.
Lawrence: Content is Queen and Conversion is King. You can get down to a granular level with a lot of data. There is a second level of metrics, and they will become more important. Also, how many people are creating the content? Not just using or receiving the content?
Laura: Start with the business goals you're trying to achieve. Too many people are focused on little numbers. Measure the business result, not what leads to that.
David: We know who should be creating the social media strategy, but who should be executing?
Laura: Everybody. In terms of budget, think first about what could be done better with some of these tools and then think about budget.
Brian: Every group in the organization can benefit from being involved.
Lawrence: There's a ton of inertia going on with existing business processes with new ones that makes for really great opportunities.
David: Is there a policy that needs to be instituted within a company?
Brian: I think information about what can be done is good, but not necessarily a policy of what you can't do.
Lawrence: Microsoft's blogging policy is "Blog Smart." Think also about when new people come on, training not just on standard policy, but on new tools a well.
David: The one most important tip to convince senior management of social media. Mine is asking them when the last time that the management went to Google vs email. They inevitably say Google.
Brian: Marketing efficiency of social media.
Laura: It has to be diagnostic. Pull up Twitter search right in a client meeting and search their brand. Tie it in directly.
Lawrence: Ask them if they know who your customers are? most of them will not know (whether they admit it or not) and they will realize the opportunity for social media.
David: Should we be measuring all of these tool usages?
Laura: In the area of customer outreach, there are a lot of easy things you can be measuring.
Brian: You have to measure in order to know if these things are working.
Lawrence: Say that you can measure. Once you show it, after a few months, you won't have to.
David: Try it and just do it!

General Question
Why are things in California so much more expensive than in New York?
For example, when I watch these house hunter shows I pay close attention to the amount these people are spending on houses. The kind of house that sells for $150,000 in my town will go for $800,000 in Cali. Why on earth do prices differ so much and how do people afford this?! Do jobs also pay higher in that state? I know people around here can't afford housing at that price unless they inherited a family fortune or are a highly paid doctor or surgeon.
This also makes me wonder (and this could be a ridiculous question) about whether or not minimum wage is the same for all the US? Because a single person in my town making min wage would be able to rent a one bedroom apartment for around $500 and survive but if they moved to Cali and tried to rent the same apartment, they'd never make it. That apartment would be much more expensive. I just don't get it…Can anyone enlighten me?

I do kindly (this time), ask any available moderator, should my sounds will be approved on Freesound.org. If not, reply to me, I am gonna post them elsewhere.
I uploaded about a hundred sounds and they are downloaded more then 5000 times.
Number of the posts on forum is almost equal to the number of the sounds, because I had to stand up every time I did some work.
I am slowly getting frustrated again.
How many sounds are you waiting for moderation?
(and for how long?)
There is currently a waiting time of about 2 days for moderation. That has been keeping fairly steady.
Beind the scenes, the active moderators (the ones that are moderating at the time) will email other mods if the queue of sounds to moderate suddenly increases.
Your sounds are not on the general queue. Which means one of the mods has already pulled these sounds into his own queue so he can moderate them.
I am investingating what is going on and will come back to you. Either here or, if more appropriate, by private message.
Stand by......
I found one of Zagi's 2 pending sounds at the top of the queue.
I just approved the sound without further ado.
The other must be in someone else's queue already.
p.s. edit: The sound had been returned to the queue by another mod, with correspondence in the ticket. The sound was ok to approve as the questions were answered, so I'm not sure why he did return it. The other remaining sound must be in his queue.

text: Alright, this build/thread has been a LONG time in the making. Broke another piston back in December at the track. Seemed to be the result of too much cylinder pressure. Silver lining was that the car made the best pass ever on the very run it broke, at 11.90 @ 114. <<Notice how trap is a little low for my car. More on that later. So instead of doing a cheap rebuild, selling the car, and buying and '03 Cobra (like I SHOULD have done), I decided to have a little fun with this build, and see how far I could take the SVO blower (current record is 11.49 @ 118). To do that, here's what I'm doing on this build: -2012 Boss 302 rods -03/04 Cobra pistons -stock crank -ported heads by me -MHS blower cams (already been running those, but will be advancing them a couple degrees) -2.9" blower pulley (vs. 3.3 I have now). Should add 3-4 pounds of boost. -AEM 320 fuel pump to fuel all this extra power. On top of that, the transmission is getting a full build as well. As I mentioned earlier as per the trap speeds, it seemed like either the transmission or converter was slipping recently, so I figured with the rebuild and extra power, it'd sure be foolish not to rebuild the transmission to hold all of that. So Mr. Robert Pearson here in NC is doing a '650 rwhp build' on my transmission (same parts as in his 9 second T-bird tranny). On top of that, I've got a triple disk Circle D converter (3500-3700 stall) that just came in this past week. Will hold that power just fine. SO, I'm hoping to have it all running within a couple of weeks. I just came up from the garage working on it tonight. All that's left on the motor is to get the head gaskets (they're in transit) and bolt that together. Then just get it all back in the car and it'll be ready to go. When it's all said and done, gonna try and run 10s on this setup. I honestly don't think it'll happen, but I'm gonna try. And if it doesn't....well, I've still got the nitrous kit.

Statistics Paper Help Please !!!!
you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain
that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less
than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve
the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees
pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the
bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is
in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete
this assignment.
Reference information:
Write a two (2) page report in which you:
1 Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2 Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3 Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4 Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:
a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.
b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. No citations and references are required, but if you use them, they must follow APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Mazzer Mini E Espresso Grinder - Type B
The Mazzer Mini Electronic Grinder looks like an art deco cross between a gum ball dispenser and a Peugeot. You were thinking it too, right?! A wonderfully goofy mix of industrial chic and utilitarian goodness together in one bean grinding package. It has a stepless grind adjustment and while it doesn't have a traditional dosing hopper, it still has programmable dosing so filling your portafilter using the Mazzer Mini has never been easier.
Features and Functionality
- Large Capacity - The sturdy clear plastic bean hopper with finger guard holds holds a whopping 1.3 pounds of beans and features an integrated trap door that allows for easy changing of beans without emptying.
- Consistent Grind - The stable stainless steel 64mm burr grinders are flat (rather than conical) and remove for easy cleaning. Designed to operate at a low RPM (rotations per minute) so that minimal heat builds up and is transferred to your beans.
- Doserless - While it doesn't have a traditional dosing hopper, it still has programmable dosing. You control between 4 and 16 grams per measure.
|How Does it Compare?
The Mazzer Minis come in three configurations: a 58mm Mazzer Mini Flat Burr Espresso Grinder with a physical doser on the front, a 64mm Mazzer Mini Electronic Type A Espresso Grinder with programmable dosing functionality atop a funnel, and the 64mm Mazzer Mini Electronic Type B Espresso Grinder with a funnel and dosing begins when you tap the portafilter up against it. Also throw into the mix the branded Rocket Mazzer Minis which are essentially similar in a matching casing style for Rocket espresso machines.
|Tips and Tricks
Do not remove the wire grid from the funnel exit chute. This is an anti-static feature.
|Suitable Applications
|Drip Coffee, Espresso, Fine Drip / Pour Over, Turkish
|6.25 inches
|13.25 inches
|18.0 inches
|NSF Certified
|Bean Hopper Capacity
|1.3 lbs
|Dosing Options
|Programmable Dosing Functionality
|Adjustment Configuration
|Stepless - Infinite Settings
|Grinder Style
|Burr - Flat Steel
|Burr Diameter
|Timer or On/Off Switch
|Both Timer & On/Off Switch
The Mazzer grinders are not good grinders for press and espresso, as they are stepless and therefore do not have specific steps/markings for the various grind settings. For this reason, once the grinder is dialed in to espresso, you will have a very difficult time dialing it back to the setting you found best for espresso. The other downside is that this grinder is calibrated to espresso and will not get as coarse as is necessary for applications such as French Press. It would be better to choose a stepped grinder, like those from Baratza or the Rancilio Rocky if you want to use one grinder for both applications, or to choose a lower priced grinder for your coarser press style grinding. Hope this helps!
- Too Many Lawyers, Too Few EngineersReview by JM Miller
Price Quality Value
Overall: From the broad commercial use of Mazzer grinders, I'm guessing they're reliable and long-lasting. I've been able to produce a good espresso grind, though only by carefully nudging the "micrometrical grinding adjustment". The 2-shot timer is almost useless, and the conical doserless dispenser is silly.
Grind is adjusted with a large collar near the top, which presumably screws the disk grinder elements together or apart. Small changes in collar position produce large changes in grind, that is, control could be better. But this might require replacing flat with conical burrs, which would be a big change.
This doserless grinder provides a pair of "10-turn potentiometers" for timing 1-shot and 2-shot grinds. The problem is that at the highest setting the 2-shot adjustment doesn't run the grinder long enough to fill a 2-shot portafilter at finer grinds. Strangely, the 1-shot adjustment has the same maximum time. Shouldn't the maximum time of the 2-shot pot be double? An easy fix, in which Mazzer customer service shows no interest.
The large conical ground coffee dispenser serves no purpose at all and should be replaced with a simple spout. Their lawyers, I'm guessing, concerned that the cone's easily removable top exposed the grinder disks to careless fingers, had them fit an internal shield, which makes cleaning difficult.

CUNA Publishes Member Business Services Guide
MADISON, Wis. - Credit unions considering the addition of member business services to their portfolio have a new resource from CUNA. CUNA's new Credit Union Member Business Services Guide examines a number of different business services issues, including: member business checking accounts, commercial loans, SBA loans, lending considerations, loan participations, staffing and deposit accounts. In addition, it offers strategic considerations and tips for success when considering these types of services. "The guide concentrates on the strategic and operational issues involved in making the decision to offer business services and provides a variety of perspectives on the decision," says Kevin Lytle, vice president of strategic and executive development for CUNA. "It also provides a `roadmap' of considerations for management and directors as they investigate the myriad details of offering member business services." CUNA says this new resource is a result of work conducted by national and state business services committees, as well as a small group of experienced credit union business lenders in conjunction with the staff of CUNA's Center for Research & Advice.

Wait, what? You haven't downloaded Contre Jour yet? Get thee to thine local Store of Apps and grab it, pronto. If you don't yet own an iPhone or iPod, go out and buy one first, then get Contre Jour.
Chillingo's latest iGame is a delight, a puzzle platform that combines elements you've seen in lots of other games to create something new and fresh and gorgeous.
Your job is to guide a little blobby fella (who's 90 per cent eye) into the target gateways of light. You can't move him directly, but you can manipulate his surroundings. Morph the ground to roll or flick him about, and grab stretchy tentacles to swing him from place to place.
Like all good puzzle games, things start simple and helpful, giving you a chance to learn the ropes as you play. Or in this case, learn the tentacles. Soon, of course, things start getting complicated.
What makes Contre Jour that little bit more appealing is the fabulous soundtrack and detailed dark visuals. A lot of love has gone into making this app, and it shows.
You might feel that the 60 levels currently on offer aren't enough. You might wish that more had been done to give our big-eyed hero a story to justify his tentacle-swinging, ground-hugging activity. But I say what the hell: stick some headphones on, enjoy the music, and get swinging. There's a lot of entertainment here for just a dollar.
And hey, if actor/writer/comedian and celebrity Apple fan Stephen Fry thinks it's a great game, that's good enough a recommendation for me. He is, after all, a nerd who knows his stuff.

Honesty is crucial in M, and it's crucial in R.
If you don't say what you mean, you're likely to get burned.
Me- BW, 30
Him- fWh, 36
Mostly R'd, minus a few scars...bought a house and got a puppy...And baby makes 3! She arrived August 2013
What would you have done if he said yes?
If your boundary is no other people and you are trying to recover from the A - this question confuses me. Perhaps it did you H too.
Good luck.

InnovMetric Software announced that a new Play Inspection tool, which automatically builds a guided step-by-step sequence to capture 3D datasets of a new piece, has been fully integrated into Phase II of DirectReplay, released in version 12.1 of PolyWorks.
Phase I of DirectReplay, which focused on handling point-cloud-only measurement tasks, simplified the inspection of multiple pieces with its Play Extraction tool and automatic project update capabilities, the company says. This allowed users to directly measure and inspect a new piece from an existing inspection project without recording operations, programming, or scripting. The Play Inspection tool adds automation to the inspection of multiple pieces, and provides a guided sequence that is automatically built in real time and handles point-cloud digitizers and probing devices.
The tool can automatically propose a logical order of measurement (based on device positions, data alignments, object tree view sequence, and geometric constraints); trigger the right measurement method for each object (laser scanner plug-in, file browser, or probing device); and manage multiple device positions.
"The release of version 12.1 brings an empowered DirectReplay technology that greatly simplifies multi-piece inspection," said Marc Soucy, president of InnovMetric. "PolyWorks v12.1 becomes the first 3D metrology solution to deliver a remeasurement process that is automatically generated and guided, and in which point cloud digitizers and probing devices are managed in one integrated workflow."

Just a heads up if you fancy doing this, I would suggest not doing it the way it is described in the wild trails, Scotland mtb guide, it is totally bonkers to do it anti clockwise, up the fantastic Glen Derry descent, no payback for the slog over Bynack mor shoulder, the descent really is rubbish, numerous water bars frequently disrupt the descent on this upgraded section of trail. You will then have to ride/push up the great Feshie singletrack, sunblime to descend, if you do decide to do it this way, good luck.
I did it clockwise, the highlight being the Glen feshie singletrack and the Glen derry descent, which goes on for an eternity and is quite au natural apart from a few sections near the top, good enjoyed it.

wikiHow to Make a Flapper Dress
Two Methods:The DressThe AccessoriesCommunity Q&A
A lot of women love being a flapper for Halloween (or any other time they want to wear a fancy dress costume). Since costumes can be expensive, or not in your size, this is one way to make a flapper dress by simply dressing up an existing tunic. It's easy, cheap and chic!
The Dress
1Find a loose, comfortable tunic. Go to thrift shops or secondhand stores to look for a good, basic dress. If it's not perfect, you can always cut it to the desired length or style. The fringe will cover up any imperfections!
- Knee length is best. This allows for flapper dancing. Flappers have to dance!
- Try to make the tunic spaghetti-strapped or sleeveless. It can be short sleeved if you prefer, but do not get long sleeves.
2Buy strips of fringe to decorate the dress. Make sure to buy enough to wrap all the way around your dress -- not just the front.
- Drape and pin your first row of fringe to the top of your dress. Measure the distance between where you want your second row of fringe to start all the way down to where you want the second-to-last row of fringe to end. Take that amount and divide it by how many rows you have left to sew on. This ensures that all the rows will be evenly spaced.
3Start sewing the dress. For the top row, turn the dress inside out. That'll make it a lot easier. It'll also be much, much easier if you use a sewing machine.
- Try on your dress. If anything isn't hanging right, go back and adjust. Even though it will take more time, you'll be grateful you did.
The Accessories
1Make a headband. Buy a length of sequin. It should be a matching color to your tunic or fringe. Measure it around your head -- because it stretches a little, it's best to make it a bit smaller rather than a bit bigger.
- Cut off the desired length and adhere together with E6000 glue.
- Pick the desired place on the headband for your embellishment. This could be a flower, feathers, jewels, or whatever suits your fancy. Place some craft glue on your adornment and press firmly into place. You may want to pin it together with clothespins and leave to dry.
2Add the perfect shoes. High heeled Mary Janes (with thick heels) are ideal. If you don't have those, anything that wraps around the ankle (so your shoe doesn't come flying off when doing the Charleston) is good.
- Stilettos weren't super common back in the day -- they're also not great for dancing in. Only go for stilettos as a last resort and if you're confident you won't trip!
3Add other accessories. Though it's certainly not mandatory, a long string of pearls or feather boa is a fun addition to your already playful outfit. Gloves and a long cigarette holder can help put you in the flapper zone, too!
- Don't forget your makeup! Depending on the color of your dress, you may be able to pull off bright red lipstick -- don't be shy! You'll be turning heads already, might as well milk it for all it's worth!
Community Q&A
- For the shoes, some nice, dressy flats will work if you're not too keen on wearing heels.
- The hairstyle should either be curled hair (preferably short, at least shoulder length) or a bob wig.
- Grab a purse for whatever you need to bring along. Keep it small.
- Try to get the colors right. Your fringe should either be the same color or accent the fabric of your dress.
Things You'll Need
The Dress
- Tunic
- Fringe material
- Scissors, needle and thread or sewing machine
The Accessories
- Headband (length of sequin and embellishment, glue)
- Shoes
- Pearls, feather boa, gloves, or cigarette holder
- Lipstick (and other makeup, of course)
