What is Diabetes
By Hans Diehl, M.D. www.chiphealth.com
Since World War II diabetes has been advancing relentlessly in developed countries where it is now one of the leading causes of death. If present trends continue, babies born today will have a one in three chance of becoming diabetic in their lifetimes. For Hispanics, it is worse. It is one in two! Until recent times, there has been no known cure.
No more! Today many people are reversing diabetes! They are normalizing their blood sugars and getting off insulin by making healthful lifestyle changes. (Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar (glucose), starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life.)
What Exactly Is Diabetes?
Diabetes occurs when the body becomes unable to handle glucose (sugar), which builds up to dangerous levels in the blood. A diagnosis of diabetes is usually made when a blood sugar test is consistently above 125 mg% (7.0 mmol/L) after an eight-hour fast. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels of 110-125 (6.1-6.9 mmol/L) are known as pre-diabetic levels with their impaired fasting glucose tolerance. They usually precede full-blown diabetes.
There are two kinds of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes afflicts about 5 percent of diabetics. They are usually thin and rarely overweight. Type 1 diabetes usually begins in childhood and is commonly known as juvenile diabetes. Since these diabetics cannot survive without insulin, it is now officially called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In Type 1 diabetes, the body does not have the ability to produce insulin. Risk factors for Type 1 diabetes may be autoimmune, genetic, or environmental. There is no known way to prevent Type 1 diabetes, except to leave out all dairy proudcts from the diet of babies.
Type 2 diabetes is different. Called adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), Type 2 diabetes is the most common kind, affecting more than 90 percent of diabetics. Type 2 diabetes generally hits around age 45 to 55 as people get older and fatter, but in the context of obesity it can strike at any age. In contrast to the juvenile diabetics (Type 1 diabetes), most Type 2 diabetics, when diagnosed, have plenty of insulin in their bodies, but something blocks the insulin so it cannot do its job properly.
Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity, older age, family history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, physical inactivity, and race/ethnicity. African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, and some Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders are at particularly high risk for Type 2 diabetes and its complications. Clinically-based reports and regional studies suggest that Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents, although still rare, is being diagnosed more frequently, particularly in American Indians, African Americans, and Hispanic/Latino Americans.

What are some popular dating sites or apps that a lot of people use? I've tried plenty of fish, but 99% of them never message back.
I'm certainly in no position to comment on dating sites but here are some words of wisdom from that man-about-town, G.Callen, of NCIS LA fame. He said, "I doubt that my soul mate is a mouse click away."

Welcome to the 423rd Metamorphosis Monday! I'm putting this post up early (Sunday evening) since I have a busy morning tomorrow.
Email Update: I just noticed today that the company I use to send out emails for BNOTP, has been using the wrong return email address. It's been changed to the correct one which is [email protected] .
So please add that address to your "approved contacts" or your email addresses. That will help to ensure that you'll receive email updates when a new post is up here on the blog. If you're one of the folks who hasn't been receiving the updates, maybe this will better help those arrive in your Inbox.
So the address to add to your approved contacts is: [email protected] .
Office Before & After
If you've been reading BNOTP for a while, you may remember that I've been on what seems like an endless hunt for a comfortable desk chair. Most recently in August of last year, I purchased this pretty chair at Marshalls.
I loved its stylish nailhead trim but after getting it home and giving it a try, it had to go back. There were several things about it that weren't ideal, but the final straw that made me return it was the strong chemical smell it was emitting. After leaving it for a week unused in my upstairs family room, hoping it would air out, the chemical smell was still as strong as ever.
After sadly returning it, I went back to sitting in a chair I had purchased from Pottery Barn. This was the second one in this exact same style that I had purchased. The first one had been fine and worked great until it eventually wore out from sitting/working in it every day for two years. The seat had flattened to the point it was no longer cushy or very comfortable.
Unfortunately, the second one I ordered never sat comfortably. It leaned too far forward. I should have returned it right away instead of trying to make it work, but by the time I realized the back was never going to loosen up, it was too late to return it.
Recently after a long day of working here in the office, I've Googled to see if I could find a chair that was both attractive and comfortable. I usually came up empty-handed but one day fortune smiled down and I struck pay dirt!
Here she is! I've been sitting in my new chair a lot over the last three days, and so far, things are looking good! I think she's a keeper.
This chair is much softer than the chair I've been using, and the back doesn't lean forward at all. What a relief!
I really love the color and it works beautifully here in the office. The fabric has the look of linen–love that!
I like the tufted back, it adds a lot of style to this piece. It's elegant, yet functional, I couldn't ask for any more!
The legs/base has a distressed, washed look which I really like. It's much softer and prettier than if it were a dark brown or black color and it looks great with the color of the fabric.
It came with these wheels…
…but I changed them out for these: Chair Wheels. I've learned over the years that this style wheel below is easier on my wood chair mat than the other type. The rectangle chair mat I use is available here: Wood Chair Mat. There are other shapes and sizes of the wood chair mats available here: Chair Mats.
This chair also comes in a pretty gray that would have also worked nicely with the fabrics in my office. I had a hard time choosing between the two colors before finally settling on the lighter color.
If you're in need of an elegant, comfortable desk chair, you'll find these chairs here:
Natural Color (like mine) can be found here: Natural Color Desk Chair
Gray Color can be found here: Gray Desk Chair
So what do you think? I'm really happy with how it looks and I do love how it sits. I liked the price, also. It was $229, not bad for an upholstered piece. Shipping is normally $29.95 but with the code SPRINGFLING, shipping was free. This piece normally has a "shipping surcharge" due to the fact it's a big package to deliver. I used the coupon code, SUR60 and that gave me 60% off the surcharge. So in the end, I only paid $6 for shipping!
I just tested those codes to see if they still work, and they do. So if you end up buying this chair for your home office, don't forget to use both those codes at checkout to save a bundle on the shipping! I'm not sure how long those codes will work, but they are still working right now as I type this.
I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have a comfortable desk chair! To learn more about how this office came together, check out this previous post: Designing and Creating a Home Office: The Journey
Have a great week, dear Friends!

I was weighed down with a happy harvest yesterday as I came home from the plot.
This incredible best year for fruit continues. Our dwarf apple tree is being hugely challenged by gravity. When I bent down to pick up some windfalls, I got donked on the back of the head by the best looking Bramleys ever. Not that they needed to remind me of anything. I already knew what I'd be cooking up when I got home.
This next shot is one I didn't post back in whichever month it was, but it has to be one of my favourite shots ever. My dusty old boots beside PART of this year's gooseberry crop at the end of a hard working day. We reckoned we harvested about 7 kilos in all!!
ready for the first blackberry and apple crumble. Who needs to wait for cream?

Not sure if these guys were posing for me or if they were trying to scare me away. But slowly one at a time they extended their wings and just froze in that position! Except the King (or leader), he just surveyed his domain and appeared bored. I know that a group of buzzards is often called a "committee" so maybe they were conducting a special secret "committee" meeting which I ungraciously interrupted. I quickly made my apologies and left so they could.... (do whatever buzzards do sitting on a farm house roof).
This brings to mind that part in Jungle Book with the four Buzzards sitting on a tree branch and asking in their Liverpool accents "What you wonna do?" "I don't know, what you wonna do?"

Actress Lynn Redgrave dead at 67
Oscar-nominated actress Lynn Redgrave has died after a long battle against breast cancer, in a new blow to one of Britain's most famous acting dynasties.
Redgrave, 67, "passed away late last night at her home," her spokesman Rick Miramontez confirmed.
The news comes just over three weeks after her brother, Corin, who was also a well-known actor, died from an illness at the age of 70.
Redgrave won two Oscar nominations and later appeared in television roles in Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty.
The tall, red-haired actress was first nominated for an Oscar for her 1966 role as the unconventional character in Georgy Girl and then for 1998's Gods And Monsters. She won Golden Globes for both films.
She was also nominated for three Tony awards, two Emmys and a Grammy during her career.
"Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer," her family said in a statement posted on her official website.
"She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives."
Her children, son Ben and daughters Pema and Annabel, said in their statement that they were with Redgrave when she passed away at her home in Connecticut.
"Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time," the children added.
Lynn and Corin are survived by their sister, Vanessa Redgrave, 73. They were the third generation of one of Britain's most famous acting dynasties which has starred in screen and in theatres for more than seven decades.
Lynn Redgrave, the daughter of actors Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, was also the aunt of television and film stars Joely and Natasha Richardson.
Richardson, who was married to actor Liam Neeson, died after a skiing accident in Canada last year.
Tributes flow
Tributes began to flow Monday (US time) at news of Redgrave's death.
Director Michael Winner, who cast her in one of her first movies, said she had been "a joy".
"She was a phenomenal actress, she could do comedy, tragedy - anything really - with absolute ease."
British television interviewer Michael Parkinson voiced his sadness, saying: "She was maybe the jolliest and most likeable of all the family.
"She was a good actress, but being a Redgrave I suppose she couldn't help it - it's in their blood, in their marrow."
"It was not unexpected because her brother Corin - who I knew very well at university - died in the last few weeks and Lynn turned up in a wheelchair," Sir Ian McKellen told 774 ABC Radio Melbourne.
"As she was helped out of her chair to talk to the congregation there was a candle on a big stand and she inadvertently knocked it. That was how she started her little presentation.
"Responding to that and perhaps her own condition and certainly her brother's coffin to the right, she gave a wonderful theatrical gesture which encompassed all that and she said, 'Things happen'. What a way to sum up life. And I think she was presenting herself and saying things have happened to me. It was clear that she didn't have long.
"[A] wonderful comedian - always full of fun. She had a difficult home life, a difficult marriage but she was always a joy to see," he added.
Redgrave made her professional debut in 1962 in a production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Royal Court Theatre, before joining some of Britain's most illustrious companies, including the Royal National Theatre, of which she was a founding member.
In 1967, Redgrave appeared for the first time on Broadway in Black Comedy.
But despite her long career, she never achieved the same fame as her older and more notorious sister Vanessa, who is also a left-wing political activist.
Redgrave's film career flourished in later years though, with roles in The Jane Austen Book Club in 2007, The Constant Wife and The White Countess, both in 2005.
She also wrote four plays, including Shakespeare For My Father, which examined her relationship with Michael Redgrave.

Amber Alert Awareness Day
January 13 is the 17th anniversary of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman's abduction and murder, which lead to the creation of the AMBER Alert.
According to www.amberalert.gov "The AMBER Alert™ Program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child."
How many times have you been watching tv, listening to the radio, or online browsing a news site when you see an AMBER Alert come across. A child has gone missing- and the entire community is now called upon to find them. What do you do? I'm not a parent myself, but I am signed up for AMBER Alerts in my community, and if I see one come across I share it on Facebook, Twitter and whatever other channels I have.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, nearly 800,000 children are reported missing each year, more than a quarter of a million abducted. In a missing child search, the first hour is critical.
Even though I am not a parent yet, I can sympathize with a parent's biggest fear: that moment of panic. You're at the mall or another busy location, you turn your back for one second, and when you turn back, your child is not there. Instant panic. You start frantically calling their name, looking through the store or wherever you may be. And most times, they turn up after a few minutes.
But what if they don't? What if that panic continues? Or what if your child is in trusted hands and you get a phone call that they can't find them? Parents do everything they can to prevent that moment from happening, but do all parents take that extra step to ensure if that moment does occur, their child can be found quickly? If another child is lost, do you step in to help spread the word, hoping that if it was you, others would do the same?
Sadly AMBER Alerts are issued all across the country every week. Some children are recovered quickly and safely, and others may not be. January 13 is a day where not only parents, but all citizens should take a moment to recognize not only the importance of pre-planning for an emergency, but the importance of participating and support your community members in their time of need.
At Smart911 we want to take a step in the right direction, by providing parents a way to prepare for an emergency. In communities all across the country, parents are signing on to create a free Safety Profile for their household which is then immediately available to 9-1-1 call takers and response teams when someone in your family dials 9-1-1.
Imagine what a difference it would make if 9-1-1 had your child's photo and description immediately. It made a difference in a recent missing child call in Arkansas – click here to hear the call.
Smart911 wants to help you protect the ones you love. Create a Safety Profile today.

In a statement, the university said: "The violence was instigated by a group of about 150 masked agitators who came onto campus and interrupted an otherwise non-violent protest".
That group of agitators proceeded to shoot commercial-grade fireworks at police, smash windows of campus buildings and use a Molotov cocktail to set a generator on fire, university police said.
Yiannopoulos said on Facebook he was evacuated "after violent left-wing protestors tore down barricades, lit fires, threw rocks and Roman candles at the windows and breached the ground floor of the building".
He added that it was the University of California Police Department that made a decision to evacuate Yiannopoulos and cancel the event. He tells the story of the police failing to disperse the mob or make arrests despite destruction of property and physical violence causing injury to bystanders and his own harrowing evacuation, and then the discussion of free speech being violated in systematic fashion by the Left begins.
The University of California at Berkeley's cancellation of a far-right commentator's talk amid violent protests prompted a tweeted warning from President Donald Trump to allow free speech or perhaps risk losing federal funding.More news: Amazon Q4 profit surges, but sales fall short
By 8 p.m. the crowd had thinned and at least 100 protesters that remained danced to a brass band playing music and marched off campus and into a main avenue.
The target of demonstrators was Milo Yiannopoulos, the openly gay, racist, transphobic and misogynist right-wing speaker and Breitbart editor who criticizes the LGBTQ community. He was banned from Twitter after leading a harassment campaign against "Ghostbusters" actress Leslie Jones.
The Berkeley College Republicans feel even though the violence ultimately canceled their event, their message has been taken to another level.
He was invited to speak by the Berkeley Republican club, which said it didn't endorse Yiannopoulos but that "silencing him is a defeat for civilized society and the free exchange of ideas on college campuses across America".
Eventually the university cancelled the event and tried to get the crowd to disperse.More news: Senate confirms Rex Tillerson to be next Secretary of State
Watch more above, and let us know what you think in the comments.
Mr Yiannopoulos, whose Twitter account was suspended past year after he was accused of participating in an online harassment of a black actress, criticised "the Left", saying in a statement it was "absolutely terrified of free speech and will do anything to shut it down".
"We are proud of our history and legacy as the home of the Free Speech Movement". On January 20, the same day Trump was inaugurated, he spoke at the University of Washington and sparked large protests.

The brother-in-law and his wife, Charles Best and Sherrie Best, have been criminally charged in connection with the death of 34 year old Melissa Best whose body was discovered in her abandoned van in the Grays Pointe Condominium complex parking lot in Grayslake on April 24th.
Clint Best's brother, Charles Best, has been charged with concealing a death while Charle's wife, Sherrie Best has been charged with one count of drug-induced homicide and one count of concealing a death involving a homicide. The two women were doping when Melissa went into a coma but Sherrie Best did not call 911. When her husband, Charles, came home from work he tried to revive his sister-in-law using CPR, but again no call was ever made to 911. Instead, the two of them carried Melissa's body down three flights of stairs and loaded it into her van. With Charles Best driving the van and Sherrie Best following in her car, they drove to Grayslake and abandoned the van in a complex parking lot where it wasn't discovered for several days. Charles and his brother Clint work together at the same Waukegan business, but Charles never mentioned a word during those days about his and his wife's involvement in Melissa's disappearance.
Round Lake Park Police Chief George Filenko is expected to release more information about the arrests during a 3:30 p.m. news conference.

Patiently handled by jockey Eddie Castro, the 3-year-old
Ghostzapper filly raced in third as Highestmaintenance and I'm Mom's
Favorite dueled through an opening quarter-mile
in 22.50 seconds, with the half going in 45.23. Given her cue at the
head of the stretch, Elghayoor bore down on the front runners
approaching the eighth pole and edged away in the final strides.
"My filly broke really sharp," said Castro. "The other two
horses went head and head. At the three-eighths, we were in a really
good space. I rode and I rode hard, and
she gave me a nice kick in the last part."
Elghayoor covered six furlongs over the inner track in 1:09.82,
more than three seconds faster than her winning time for the Dearly
Precious on February 17.
"Standing here right now, I kind of think that was a step up
again," said Art Magnuson, assistant to winning trainer Kiaran
McLaughlin. "Good run, huh? She has trained
really well between [races], but you can't tell that until you run."
Sent off at 6-1, Elghayoor returned $14.20 for a $2 win as she
extended her record to 2-2-0 from four starts. The winner's purse of
$60,000 nearly doubled her earnings
to $129,800 for her owner and breeder, Shadwell Stable.
"Eddie and I were chatting about if she can go further," said
Magnuson. "[There's] one way to find out. We're not even sure where to
go next. [Shadwell Farm vice president/general
manager] Rick Nichols and Kiaran can decide that."
Mike Repole's Highestmaintenance, the 1-2 favorite in her stakes
debut off a victory and a second-place finish at Gulfstream Park for
trainer Todd Pletcher, crossed
the finish line 1 ¼ lengths ahead of I'm Mom's Favorite. Railtown Girl,
also trained by McLaughlin, was fourth, followed by Kiss the Lady and
Sense of Reality. Disco Barbie was scratched.

In December 2009 I posted three "Swine Flu Pandemic Communication Updates" addressing what I see as important gaps between the CDC's technical reports estimating the number of pandemic cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the U.S. and the CDC's public communications on those topics:
- It's Official (sort of): The Swine Flu Pandemic Is Mild So Far (posted December 2). On November 12, the CDC reported estimates showing the pandemic to be much less deadly (so far) than the average seasonal flu. But its press briefing on those estimates interpreted them as alarming. This update discusses the gap.
- Update on the December 2 Update (posted December 15). I got a lot of negative feedback on my December 2 "Update" from public health officials around the U.S. This "Update on the Update" focuses on their discomfort and their criticisms, as well as new developments in how the CDC and the media were addressing the "mildness" issue.
- What the CDC Is Saying about Swine Flu Severity (also posted December 15). On December 10, the CDC updated its November 12 estimates. This update uses the new set of CDC numbers to focus on a different gap: the relative risk to children, adults, and seniors (children are least at risk) versus the CDC's statements about relative risk (children are most at risk).
Below are some outtakes from my side of a telephone interview with a reporter on these issues. The interview was conducted after my December 2 update was posted but before the CDC's December 10 estimates were released.

(In 5th paragraph, corrects to remove attribution to BR Pharma)
By Tatiana Bautzer and Paula Arend Laier
SAO PAULO, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Brasil Pharma SA, the Brazilian drugstore chain backed by embattled investment bank Grupo BTG Pactual SA, is going ahead with a plan to raise as much as 600 million reais ($160 million) from investors, the company told Reuters on Monday.
In a statement, BR Pharma, as the company is commonly known, said it "is sticking to the planned offering and is currently working on it," declining to elaborate.
The capital plan, which set a floor of 400 million reais, could be launched formally as early as this week, when executives at São Paulo-based BR Pharma will meet investors in so-called road show meetings, according to a source who requested anonymity because the plan remains private.
Shares in BR Pharma plummeted almost 25 percent on Monday, the stock's largest drop ever, on speculation the offering might face headwinds. BTG Pactual, which owns 37 percent of BR Pharma, declined to comment.
BTG Pactual has had mixed results on a two-year turnaround of the drugstore chain.
On Nov. 12, the company sold money-losing unit Mais Econômica for 44 million reais, which sources close to the company said will help stem BR Pharma's net loss.
The company posted a net shortfall of 420 million reais in the first nine months of the year.
Andrea di Sarno, a BTG Pactual partner, will probably be present at the road-show meetings and may take questions about the current state of the bank, the source said.
Shares of BTG Pactual have fallen 42 percent since Nov. 25, when André Esteves, formerly the bank's controlling shareholder and chief executive, was arrested for his alleged involvement in Brazil's biggest corruption scandal.
BR Pharma's capital plan will be made via a restricted-effort offering, in which a 0.40-real price floor for shares was set. BTG Pactual will participate in the plan by partially converting debt into shares, the source added.
It is yet unclear whether BTG Pactual, which is trying to stop client fund withdrawals in the wake of Esteves' arrest, will pour money into the drugstore chain, Brazil's third-biggest. BTG Pactual is selling a number of non-essential assets to protect cash and reduce the size of its balance sheet.
Restricted-effort offers differ from standard ones in that a firm does not have to request registration of the plan with regulators, only qualified investors can participate, and the deal cannot be marketed through road shows or the media.

There are also significant pockets of unhappiness, based on the responses, with the current state of affairs. The survey found that 49 percent of women believe that working benefits and conditions in IT could be improved, and although there has been an increase in the number of women working in IT, 51 percent of women in the UK and 49 percent of women in Holland believe that working conditions are not equal for men and women. Over in Belgium, some 66 percent of women in the survey said they felt working conditions favored their male colleagues.
In the UK, the phrase "boys club" was given by survey respondents on several occasions, according to a release by IT Job Board, "and it is clear that many women find it hard being a female in such a male-dominated environment," the company said.
"While the number of women in IT continues to grow, it seems that there still isn't a level playing field. The dynamic needs to change in order to attract and nurture women to fulfill their potential," Alex Farrell, managing director of The IT Job Board, said in a statement. "There is still a deep rooted 'club for the boys' that will probably always exist. The question is whether this 'club' has a future for the masses."
Twenty percent (20 percent) of women surveyed in the UK said it was not important to have a mix of men and women working in the IT industry.
The news comes at a time when struggling economies throughout Europe as well as the U.S. have tended to restrain IT hiring and projects in general. But earlier this month, another set of survey results had some good news on the hiring front.
According to the Robert Half Technology IT Hiring Index and Skills Report, 9 percent of technology executives said they planned to hire additional IT staff while 4 percent anticipate personnel reductions. The net 5 percent increase is up two points from the first quarter's forecast and three points higher than the year-ago projection.
Almost 80 percent of technology executives in the report said they are confident in their companies' prospects for growth in the second quarter.

Did you know that civilians can shop at law enforcement supply stores? It's not illegal to buy many of the burly weapons and sprays that cops use. Katie points out some nifty items:
- Key Defender: "It goes on your key chain, you flip this hatch and spray in an attacker's face--it's pepper spray."
- Punch II M-3: "It shoots a big cloud of pepper spray. It's police-strength, what cops carry--it's bad, bad stuff."
- Bullet Proof Vest: "It's not really bullet proof, but it stops bullets from penetrating your body."
- Asp Baton: "What police carry. It's good for self-defense."
- Seatbelt Cutter & Glass Break: "If you need to get out of your car or into somebody's car to help them, you slide this in and cut their seatbelt off, and then you can punch with it and shatter their windshield."

The Blount County Sheriff's Office began increasing traffic patrols on the 11 mile stretch of US Route 129 known as "The Dragon" Saturday.
Each year from April through November a grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Department funds additional officers to patrol the road internationally renown for each of its 318 curves.
"We're not just up there to write tickets. We would like to educate people as far as safety on the dragon before we actually start writing tickets," BCSO Lt. Rick Ailey said. "Most of the people that are killed or severely injured up here are from out of state or out of the country and not used to having this type of roadway."
During the 2016 season, the BCSO wrote 861 tickets on The Dragon. Out of more than 90 crashes, 48 people were seriously injured and three people died, according to BCSO's Dragon Awareness.
RELATED: 'Dragon' crash survivor meets rescuer who found him 30 hours after crash
The road draws tourists from all the over the world.
"They come here for the road. It's the most fun road in the world," Tail of the Dragon store owner Ronald Johnson said.
Johnson and his wife started selling t-shirts at the Calderwood Dam overlook in 2000. Since then, his business has grown into one of the most prominent stops at Deals Gap.
Given the massive number of sports cars and motorcycles that visit "The Dragon," Johnson says the percentage of vehicles that wreck is remarkably low.
"Most of the wrecks here are in the ditch and they pick them up and ride home. It's not that serious of a wreck most of the time," Johnson said.
However, Johnson has seen "The Dragon" take its toll.
"I've seen several people die on 'The Dragon.' When we first started the business there were two kids that stopped and bought a t-shirt up at the dam overlook and took off. We hear a smash, and we went out and the kid was hurt pretty bad. [The driver] went off the mountain and hit a tree," Johnson said. "I can go through 'The Dragon' now and recall the serious accidents I've seen. Every mile marker. I know who was there and what happened."
The road is out of cell phone service and is at least 45 minutes from a hospital. The time it takes to see a wreck, drive to an area with cell service, and then wait for first responders can be the difference between life and death.
One such instance sticks out in Lt. Ailey's memory.
"There was a crash at Parsons Branch. There's a deep drop off on one of the curves," Lt. Ailey said. "I get there and there's a man laying down under his motorcycle with a severely broken femur, bleeding a lot. While I was laying there talking to him he actually passed away because of the long response time. If he'd been in town they might have been able to save him."
Lt. Ailey says he hopes that by bringing awareness as to why the speed limit is only 30 mph on "The Dragon," drivers will slow down and understand why they need to take the curves a little safer.
Johnson also promotes safety, but also wants to inform people that the road is not dangerous when driven responsibly.
"There are some people that shouldn't be here. They ride to Hooters every Wednesday and that's their experience on a motorcycle. Then they come here and want to go through all the curves," Johnson said. "This is superb entertainment for most of the people that come here, 95 percent of the people that come. There's five percent that act up. That's going to happen anywhere."

It takes top-shelf connections to increase one's influence after heading the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Yet Sheila Bair has done exactly that in the three years since chairing the banking regulator.
Sheila Bair
Bair sits on three prominent corporate boards, including Banco Santander. She also chairs the Systemic Risk Council, an organization of former government officials and financial experts who advocate for reforms "to protect the public from financial instability."
She also has links to two research groups, serving as an adviser to Pew Charitable Trusts and a trustee with the Rand Corporation.
Bair was a rarity in the George W. Bush administration - a regulator who spoke out against banking excesses even before the 2008 financial crisis.
One of her complaints was the revolving door between regulators and the industry, a path she followed in joining the Santander board in January.

Artists get a bad rap. They're impractical, out-of-touch, self-absorbed, or radical. They rely on beauty instead of cash.
Of course, that's a stereotype. A bad one but one that has persisted over time in the modern age. When we think of practical people and artists, they're often on opposite sides of a deep chasm.
Artists are "starving" because there's a gap between relying on radical notions of beauty & purpose to put food on the table and finding the practical solutions to every day problems. Or is there?
art & faith are not so different
When I studied religion in college, I became obsessed with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pacifist Protestant theologian who worked on a plot to assassinate Hitler for which he was later hung – yes, he's fascinating. Bonhoeffer had an idea that people used God as a stop-gap:
…how wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. If in fact the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed further and further back (and that is bound to be the case), then God is being pushed back with them, and is therefore continually in retreat. We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know.
God is an idea that we cling to in order to fill in the blanks of our own understanding.
We don't need God until we are presented with a reason to need God. When someone we love dies unexpectedly, when we want to get a good grade on a test, when we want to explain the genesis of the universe…
Instead, Bonhoeffer posited that we need to look at the very practical – and often frightening – demands that God places on believers in everyday life.
From this belief, he was able to justify his part in the assassination attempt. Seeing no feasible means of passive resistance, he chose to plot murder instead of remaining silent. Innocent lives deserved swift & decisive action.
Have I lost you yet?
Many [unsuccessful] creative people look upon their greatest strength in much the same way.
We fall back on our creativity as a stop gap.
We make demands on it only when we need it. We make demands on it instead of allowing it to demand action of us. Your creativity deserves more than to be relegated to the hobby room or crafting corner. It is something with practical applications to your daily life.
As artists, it's easy to draw a strict line between what we have to do and what we are called to do. It's easy to view responsibilities as negatives, as detractors from a greater vision.
It's much harder to see the practical as a means to the artistic.
Creativity is not a stop-gap between the your practical & impractical sides. It can't fill in a whole. No, creativity is the stuff that ties these two things together. It laces through your big ideas and binds those to practical solutions.
Creativity is what allows us to bring the two sides closer together – not bridge the gap.
Just as Bonhoeffer sought to engage God in the everyday, creativity can be engaged in everything we do.
Creativity is a way of being in the world, looking at problems, and nurturing relationships.
Your creativity deserves the adulation of your actions and honor of your thoughts.
Your creativity is not something to be called upon in your deepest struggles or relied upon for answers to woo-woo questions about your "authentic self."
There is freedom in recognizing the power of creative thinking. Finding the art in the everyday is a very practical way of being in the world.

Over 1.8 million nonprofits and charities for donors, volunteers and funders
Causes: Domestic Violence, Family Violence Shelters, Homeless & Housing
Mission: Alexandra house's mission is to empower victims of domestic and sexual violence, and inspire social change through education, support and advocacy.
Programs: Shelter program: we operate a 24-hour emergency shelter that can house up to 35 women and children at a time. Alternative emergency shelter is offered to male victims of domestic and sexual violence. Advocates work closely with clients, providing assistance in protection planning, securing safe permanent, affordable housing, and connecting clients to valuable resources in their community. Advocates also work with children during their stay in shelter, providing education and support around a range of issuesincluding safety planning, domestic/family violence, child abuse, self-esteem and sexual abuse. Alexandra house offers schooling for children in grades k-12, as well as pre-k education, made possible through a partnership with the anoka-hennepin school district. In 2014, alexandra house provided in-home case management and advocacy to 125 families providing a limited number of ongoing rental subsidies, financial support in the manner of damage deposits, one month rental assistance, and application fee assistance. We assist clients in going back to school, finding employment, and re-establishing or repairing their credit history. Alexandra house currently offers seven support groups to shelter residents and community members that include domestic and sexual violence walk-in group, healing through writing group, womens issues, coffee and conversations educational seminars, restorative parenting, mindfulness and meditation, and self-esteem support group. Children and teens staying in the shelter are also offered a weekly support group. In 2014, we provided support group services to 350 women and kids. In addition, 68 victims benefited from ongoing therapy. In 2014, we sheltered and provided advocacy and support services to 575 women and children and 2 men.
community program: many clients who have experienced domestic and sexual violence do not require shelter, but do need legal advocacy and support services, especially as it relates to civil and criminal court matters. Alexandra house has a satellite office in anoka, which houses our legal, youth services, and hospital advocacy programs. Legal advocates partner with local law enforcement agencies so that victims of domestic violence receive the assistance of an advocate immediately following a domestic assault or domestic-related crime. In 2014, alexandra house received 669 referrals from law enforcement; of those referrals, 343 victims were determined to be high risk and directly connected to an advocate. The remaining victims were contacted by advocates shortly after the incident. Legal advocates provided crisis intervention, ongoing support, and crime victim advocacy throughout criminal court proceedings to include: accompanying victims to court hearings; serving as a liaison to prosecutors, helping victims understand the criminal court process and crime victim rights, and assisting them in accessing resources like crime victim assistance, reparations, and victim notification. In 2014, legal advocates assisted 144 clients in filing protection orders and provided support and advocacy to petitioners at 189 protection order hearings; ofp project attorneys provided legal representation to 66 petitioners. The community program also works to educate victims on their civil legal rights through the family law legal clinic. Offered monthly and facilitated by volunteer attorneys, victims are provided general information related to family law issues and then given an opportunity to meet 1-1 with an attorney to discuss and obtain legal advice on their specific legal issue. In 2014, 30 victims benefited from this service. Alexandra house advocates also work with victims of domestic and sexual violence identified by health care personnel. In partnership with mercy and unity hospitals and select allina affiliated clinics, advocates provide in-person, patient follow-up at local hospitals and clinics to victims of domestic or sexual violence 24-hours/day. When the victim has been sexually assaulted, we also work closely with the sexual assault nurse examiners (sane) program to support the victim through the evidentiary exam, assist them in reporting the assault should they wish to file a police report, and provide ongoing emotional support and referrals to the victim. In 2014, advocates responded to 188 victims of domestic and sexual violence at our local hospitals and clinics. Community program legal advocates provide legal advocacy, support, and assistance to primary and secondary victims in person and over the phone and in 2014, reached out to and/or fielded calls from 4,956 callers.
youth services program: our youth services program intervenes in the lives of youth who are experiencing abuse within a dating relationship or their home, while at the same time reaches youth before the cycle ever begins youth who are at a critical stage in their lives, forming attitudes and beliefs that will affect how they treat or will be treated by dating partners in the future. Alexandra house partners with six school districts in anoka county to provide on-site, school-based support and advocacy services to students impacted by dating violence, sexual violence, and domestic/family violence. In addition to providing individual advocacy sessions, alexandra house youth services advocates facilitate support groups in each of the high school programs they are located within. While the majority of time spent in the high schools is devoted to intervening once a student has been impacted by violence, one day each week is devoted to providing education in the classroom setting around the issue of dating violence and for the purpose of making students aware of available services and how to access them. In order to reach youth who may be at higher risk, youth services advocates also facilitate groups and educational presentations with adolescent males and females housed at the lino lakes juvenile secure and non-secure facilities. In 2005, the youth services program launched the centers for disease controls (cdc) choose respect campaign, a public awareness initiative focused on preventing dating violence and promoting healthy relationships among youth. Targeting youth aged 11-14 years, choose respect inspires youth to give and get respect in all their relationships and guides them in attaining the skills needed to make healthy, positive dating choices throughout their lives. Youth services programming extends into the summer months through partnerships developed with local mobile home communities, local ymcas, churches, local youth initiatives, and others. Services provided include a choose respect summer youth group and family programming located on-site at several mobile home communities in anoka county that incorporates a family meal, violence prevention education, community resource sharing, and family friendly activities. In 2014, youth services program provided individual advocacy, support groups, choose respect programming and summer outreach activities to 1369 children, teens, and parents. They also gave 176 classroom presentations to 7,294 students and teachers from kindergarten through grade 12.

T Bone Burnett and Oscar Isaac make for an interesting pair.
The former is one of the most celebrated and accomplished individuals in music history, having toured with Bob Dylan, produced albums for such big-name artists as Elton John and Tony Bennett, managed his own successful solo recording career and won several Grammys and an Oscar.
The latter is a relative newcomer to music who has worked with, well, T Bone Burnett. Many people had probably never heard of Isaac until recently.
This odd couple is the heart and soul behind the music for the new Coen Brothers' film, "Inside Llewyn Davis," which opens on Friday. It garnered a Golden Globe nomination for best picture, musical or comedy last week and is considered a likely Oscar contender.
Isaac stars as a singer-songwriter who's struggling to make a living on the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s. Burnett, who also worked on the mega-popular "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" with the Coens, was the executive music producer for "Llewyn Davis." I recently sat down with both Burnett and Isaac to discuss the film.
Q Oscar, you were born in Guatemala and grew up in Miami — not exactly hotbeds of Greenwich Village-style folk. What's your music background?
Isaac: My dad grew up in Washington, D.C. Although he wouldn't admit it now, he was a bit of a hippie. So, he fell in love with Dylan and Cat Stevens and Jimi Hendrix. That's what we grew up listening to — that and the Beatles.
Q T Bone, how did your experience working with Dylan factor into this project?
Burnett: I've been following Bob since about 1962 or 1963. So much that I learned about show business I learned from Bob, which maybe sounds like a funny thing to say because he's known as a writer and he's known as a singer and a musician. But he's also a tremendous showman as well. All art, for me, is at its base storytelling. So, I guess, the main thing I learned from Bob is how to tell stories.
Q What was the collaboration process like?
Isaac: The first thing we did was pick out Llewyn's guitar. So, we went out to (Southern California's) Norman's Rare Guitars, and I tried a bunch of old acoustic guitars. When I picked up that one (in the film), immediately it sounded right. And T Bone said, "OK, you are making music with that one." And that was Llewyn's guitar. Then we just started working on the arrangements. For (Burnett), I think it was a process of stripping away and getting to the real honest sound.
Q So, T Bone, give me the producer's opinion — how did Oscar do?
Burnett: For the task at hand, I would say that he completely aced it. Never in the history of the cinema has an actor learned to play guitar and sing a whole repertoire of songs and then film them live on the set without the benefit of a guide track of any kind. Always, in films, you have a guide track so that you can cut from take to take. But the Coens just didn't want to do that. They wanted all the details of the risk of a real live performance. So we took the biggest risk that we possibly could, and Oscar just rose to the occasion.
Q What's it like working with the Coens?
Burnett: The truth is that the whole process is just as fun as it gets. This is how making film is supposed to be. It's how making art is supposed to be. It's how making music is supposed to be. It's so wonderful that we can do it transmedia (telling and marketing a story via multiple media forms). The Coens are really leading a whole wave of transmedia storytelling with this.
Isaac: It's history. It's like great old folk songs. (The Coens) are folk artists.
Burnett: They are. I hadn't even thought of that. But you're right. They are folk artists.
Q How important is it for this film to be a kind of history lesson — to show people what it was actually like to be working in the folk scene during that period?
Isaac: I don't want it to be a history lesson. I don't want to see that movie.
Burnett: I think I can speak for the Coens in saying that it's not as important to know how it was then as it is to know how it is now. So, it's not as important that it be a history lesson as it is to be a true story about the way life is.
Q What are your hopes for the film?
Burnett: Hope will kill you. You got to watch out for hope. But I think what we want is for the movie to live.
Isaac: That it will last a thousand years.
Burnett: For it to reach people and touch people and they will carry it with them to heaven.
Isaac: Yeah, just right.

7 Claims About Dog Ownership I Was Surprised to Find Were Not True!
Growing up, I learned many "old wives" tales about dogs. My neighbors told them, my friends told them, and my parents told them. Now that I'm older, I have found that some are just not true. Here are a few examples: 1. Mutts Make the Best Dogs Yes, it is true that pure breeds may have certain genetic illnesses, but if you get your dog from a reputable breeder, these risks can be lowered considerably. A good breeder minimizes in-breeding and houses their pregnant dogs in a clean, safe environment. Pregnant dogs and puppies receive all the medical care … Continue reading

Island Mystery is a series in which I give you clues about the mysterious island paradise that I am living on.
I anticipate pear season every year. You will seldom hear anyone saying avocado here. It is always pear for islanders.
We eat pear with almost everything during pear season. And everyone is usually in a race for it. Even some dogs like beloved dog Pablo (my dog before Charlotte).
We had a huge pear tree in our back yard, and Pablo would grab any pear that fell off the tree before we could. It was a rat race for pears with him.
It is presently pear season here, and I am having a feast!
