re: Austin,Texas To Bozeman = Disappointment (so f - 8/19/2013 So big deal why is diversity good for diversity sake? It isn't only white people are dupes to that thinking. Bozeman is awesome on its own. Learn to appreciate it!
Bozeman Montana weather - 10/26/2013 I have lived in Bozeman for over 25 years. It is very dry there (low huidity), rains infrequently. It is a hot summer, Fall can be cold or warm, winter starts anytime from October to December, ends in May. May is usually cold. June is the wettest month. It can snow a lot or a little in winter, and temps can rane from 45 degrees to 45 degrees below zero in the winter months. It has a lot of sunny days, even when cold. There is a little Spring, not much. Beautiful God's country![read more...]
Life in Bozeman - 7/14/2013 I have lived in Bozeman area for eight years. My observation of Bozeman is seen through the eyes of someone who has lived, worked and traveled much of the world. I find the people of Bozeman very friendly and welcoming. The town has a western charm and a relaxed attitude. I am amused by those few commenting that Bozeman is not friendly. Have they ever lived in a major metropolitan area? Or do they bring an attitude that brings out a less than friendly response? I agree with those comments that Bozeman is an area that offers plenty of lower paying jobs and higher paid positions are in short supply. Working via telecommunting, having a retirement income or wealthy are nice options if living in Bozeman. Persons I meet come from various geographical locations making Bozeman a rather cosmopolitan town for its size. Regarding cost of living Bozeman is a bargain compared to major metropolitan areas, however, it is not inexpensive. How one views Bozeman costs is mostly from one's past experience. A small town person may find on the pricey side. If one loves outdoor activities this town is spectacular. All seasons offer so much to do. On the other hand if one does not like any outdoor winter sports I would suggest thinking long and hard about moving to Bozeman. Winter is beautiful and long! Summer and autumn are stunning; rival any place in the world. To sum up Bozeman has the best of both worlds - enough amenities for a pleasant and comfortable life with stimulating activities and surrounded by gorgeous wilderness; views that will take your breath away. I decided to make my home here after decades of traveling the world because of the perfect blend of civility and wilderness.[read more...]
Best little place - 4/23/2013 I have lived here over 25 years, and cant dream of living anywhere else. College town, fishing, skiing, hiking, trails, great downtown and low crime.[read more...]
The weather's a drag, but it's a super safe place - 2/24/2013 I was born and raised in Bozeman--which in my case means that I've lived most of 35 years here. I've been out-and-about for brief stints in Georgia, Utah, and California, but the vast majority of my life has been spent here in Bozeman. It's a nice enough place, but it has some big downsides. Most people are drawn here for the "four seasons," the snow sports, college, or just to get away from the big city. For all the above, Bozeman is a great place to be. But be aware that the cost of living is above the national average, people are somewhat exclusive to their existing circles of friends (i.e., people aren't tremendously social here), winter is long and generally pretty rough (lots of snow, cold, ice, and gray), and "good" jobs are in short supply. There are great jobs available at the local Oracle facility and a couple other "high-tech" firms, but generally speaking because there are so many people who want to live in a place like Bozeman, wages are depressed. Count on taking a 20-50% pay cut to live here. Yep, ouch. The 1.5 good things about Bozeman from my perspective: crime is rare here, which is reflected in the fact that many people leave their cars and homes unlocked (crazy, I know). And summer here is BEAUTIFUL. Warm, sunny, with lots of gorgeous nature to bask in. It's also, unfortunately, short. In my opinion, there are lots of other towns (Salt Lake City, UT, for example) which offer much of what Bozeman does with about the same standard of living, low crime rates, even more outdoor stuff to do because of the high mountains nearby, and much better wages and job availability. There's not much to recommend Bozeman, unless you really like the small town feel, don't mind the pay cut or are independently wealthy (or work remotely), like winter, and love the lack of sales tax. Just my two cents.[read more...]
Great town - 9/5/2011 I love Bozeman. It has the best farmer's markets, sense of community, schools and quality of life. I feel really blessed to live here with our family. I can't say enough good about Bozeman. And no sales tax![read more...]

A False Feeling of Paradise - 10/30/2010 Lived in Bozeman from 2007-2008. The good: Stunning scenery, fresh air, ultra clean. Courteous drivers, friendly, honest people. Montana State is a fantastic school, very underrated. The bad: The people in Bozeman think they already know everything, not open to great new ideas. The cost of living is very high - if you aren't wealthy you will struggle. Good jobs are hard to get - a few old families seem to control a lot of the opportunity. The economy is based too much on fancy things like million dollar custom homes and snow sports. Getting the City of Bozeman to approve a building permit will drive you crazy, and probably broke. Flying in and out of Bozeman is very expensive. I will retire in the Southeast USA, but I wouldn't mind having a Summer home in Bozeman. [read more...]
Bozeman is the best - 6/24/2010 It's so strange to read one review of Boze having rude people. In the Bozeman I live in, people smile and wave for no reason at all. I can ride my bike downtown and to the library. I can go to two amazing farmer's markets, one on Tues in Bogert, one in the fairgrounds every saturday. There's a great art center at the Emerson, a world class and always fun Museum of the rockies...the food is great, and we won't even get started on the amazing fishing and play areas that surround us. Maybe you are trying to keep the secret of living in a such a great place with a high quality of life. with the real estate drop, you can find affordable housing too. Bozeman rocks!![read more...]
If you love winter, you can't help but love living - 11/27/2009 This is the most friendly and civil place I have had the chance to live in. Warm seasons here are great. Winter seems long, cold and confining for a retired single person, but life is what you make it and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the community even in winter and even if you don't participate in winter activities.[read more...]
About Living in Bozeman - 11/23/2009 Bozeman is an odd mix. Original residents who are pretty narrow minded and not very excepting, newer residents who tend to be in technical fields or very environmental, and the student population. I have lived in the county area around Bozeman for about 15 years. One thing I can say is folks in most the neighborhoods do not like change. Be aware if you do something your neighbors do not like you will hear about it. Just about everyone in Bozeman has a strong opinion and voices it. It tends to be on the conservative side of politics. Some folks can be snooty - there is "money" in Bozeman. The Bridger Canyon area boosts mostly multi million dollar homes and then there is Big Sky to the south. There are postings here that students do not feel accepted. Some of that has been caused by a few bad seeds that have not been the best behaved around town. Many of my neighbors are professors at MSU and have students over to their homes. Many are great responsible young people, others speed in residential streets were children play, are loud and party at all hours. It all depends on the experience that residents have had with some students and it has caused friction. Housing is high compared to other places. There are tract homes on the west side, older historic homes downtown, large lots with homes on the south side, and then very large luxury homes in surrounding areas. In the 2009 economy prices have dropped, but not by large percentages. It is still a pricey area and it costs to live here. There are major retailers. Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, Target, Petco, CostPlus, Walmart Supercenter, about 6 large grocery stores and many local stores. Downtown is galleries, boutiques and upscale dining - nicely restored and a bit touristy. Being the largest town with a regional airport to Yellowstone there is regular tourist visitation. It can be busy in town on weekends. I am not certain about lack of culture mentioned. There are movies, plays, concerts, fairs, farmers markets, and special events. Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and hunting. To me it's lots to do if you want too. If you are from NY, Chicago or such then you'll probably find it lacking in performance arts. The biggest thing people moving here should consider is the weather. Spring and fall are stunning. Summers are usually mild, but can be in the 100's late Jul and early August. At 4800' the west sun hangs in the sky for hours and bakes you in the summer. Winter is TOUGH. It can be in the single digits temperature and humidity for weeks. Mid week you can expect -10 to -20 for at least a few weeks. It is a dry semi arid climate. Not as green and foresty as many expect. Bozeman lays in a valley with two mountain ranges to the northeast and south. The views are great and can draw you in. It is not the perfect place to live, but it is pretty darn nice. I'd suggest to anyone to visit in all seasons over a year to get a real feel of the town.[read more...]
You better have a great job - 9/26/2009 Bozeman is a beautiful town. There is quite a bit of culture here. There are lots of outdoor activities. I went to college at Montana State and got a good education. However, this town is not a good place to live. For starters, the cost of living is high. Rental in most apartments is what most people pay for house payments in most towns. There is lots of job competition here as college students tend to hang out years after they graduate looking for a job. The traffic here is horrible because there was no planning and the infrastructure was not built for the size population the town has. People here usually drive well under the speed limit. I also might add that people here are some the rudest I have encountered ANYWHERE in the US. Bozeman has a good university. However, if you come here to college be warned the town is very anti-student. You will need to stay on campus to work and live. Businesses will often not hire students and landlords will either not rent to them or treat them like second-class citizens. [read more...]
Scenery isn't everything - 8/23/2009 I went to Montana State University. It is a good college, and I would recommend it to anyone. However,that is the only reason to live in Bozeman. If you come to college, you would be wise to live and work on campus the entire time. Here is why: Bozeman has an insanely high cost of living. Keep in mind that most people are working very low-paying jobs and working 2 or 3 of them. If you are a college student, you will have a hard time finding a job off campus, most people will not hire students. Job competition is fierce because many students hang around town years after they graduate. Unless you are making a minimum of $100,000 a year, you will probably never afford a home in Bozeman, maybe in Belgrade, probably in Manhattan or Three Forks. Renting is also very expensive. Most rentals cost as much as a house payment in most cities. Many of the landlords in town are horrible slumlords. Most will not rent to college students and many of those that do are some of the worst slumlords. I knew people who had property that ended up being condemned. In general, the people in Bozeman are very unfriendly. Many of them have a better-than-thou attitude about themselves and have no basic manners. As mentioned above, the town has a very anti-student attitude. Traffic is also obscene for a town this size. There was absolutely no planning and the growth is concentrated on one street that in a matter of 10 years has had almost every big box store imaginable built on it. People usually drive well under the speed limit and there is traffic every hour of the day as many people living here are trust fund babies who don't work. Bozeman is a beautiful town, it is nice to visit, but I would recommend only doing that. As a single person it was bad enough, I cannot imagine what it would be like to raise a family there.[read more...]
Southerner.... - 6/14/2009 How are Southerners treated in Bozeman? I am in Alabama, lived in most of the Southern states, and am thinking of moving to Bozeman. I lived in Michigan once and they didn't take too well to Southerners, Those folks were WEIRD! Hated it there. Thanks! TS[read more...]
Southerners.... - 6/13/2009 So how would Southerners be accepted into Bozeman? I am considering a move there from Alabama, have also lived in Texas, LA, and Arklansas, so am a true Southerner here. LOL! Lived in Michigan once and those people were WEIRD! They didn't take to Southerners at all. I am a single mom of two little ones, so looking at this to better our lives and move closer to the kid's family. I am college educated and a professional, but not a snob by any means....southern hospitality you know. Just curious. Thanks! [read more...]
Bozeman is one of the best places to live in - 4/30/2009 I have lived in Bozeman for two years. I came from Illinois and have lived in Texas. I find that Bozeman has everything that I want and need. There is an endless supply of recreational activities that range from skiing, hiking, rafting,biking,fishing,ect. The scenery is breathtaking. The air is clean and clear. The crime rate is extremely low. There are jobs to be had if you are determined enough to seek them out.The are has an abundance of artists and artisans. It is only an hour and a half away from Yellowstone National Park. If it's the cowboy/ranching scene tht you desire, then it is only minutes away. It is an intelligent and creative community that sets Bozeman's environmental well being as a priority. Bozeman is large enough to not feel imposed upon but small enough that you can get to any in town destination in ten or fifteen minutes. There is also free public bus servicce. I have found the town to be exceptionally accomadating and friendly.[read more...]
Adventure to Art - 4/8/2009 Bozeman is definitely unique in the fact that you can ski or climb or hike all day and be back to town in time for great cuisine and then a play, film festival or interesting civic event. Very high quality options on the culture and recreation front.[read more...]
it almost has it all - 11/3/2008 If you don't mind the winters, Bozeman's a great place to be. The people are very polite and there are different things to do depending on your interests. Great place to be to get closer to nature and the outdoors.[read more...]
Will Bozeman Work for Us? - 8/25/2008 We are thinking about moving to Bozeman in search of a more simple life for our two young children and to flee Los Angeles. We are both professionals who have lived in big cities and have enough money to be more than comfortable. What is the deal with the racism in Bozeman? Does it really exist? Is it really race-based or is it more socioeconomic? Are there any hate crimes? We are of mixed race (as most people from metropolitans places are becoming) and while our school age children for sure pass as white, I would not want them to be subjected to racist nonsense or backward thinking. What's the truth? I have seen some pretty negative postings, but want to keep an open mind. Thanks![read more...]
A sad story of a nice town ruined - 8/14/2008 Bozeman has some very nice people living there, although the locals are very few and far between as hardly any Montanan can afford to live there anymore. There are too many people who are trust fund babies (all the Audis and Cadillac Escalades on the streets) who don't work and just drive around all day and clog up the streets in the most poorly planned city I have ever lived in. They call it Bozangeles because it is overrun by rich people (mostly from California but not all) who have turned it into a little LA. Just about every chain store and restaraunt is in town and it has little unique character now. It has overrun most of the once beautiful Gallatin Valley to where all vestiges of middle class people are moving further and further away. While Montana State University is a wonderful university(one of the nation's best in engineering and architecture), my experiences there after leaving the dorms were not so pleasant. The businesses are in denial of students being there and will barely wait on them and most will not hire them. Landlords are the worst I have ever seen, they will not do anything to improve or maintain their properties but will expect the already poor students to pay for everything. By the way, these same landlords will buy or manage properties in the "middle class" cookie cutter neighborhoods with no yards and will let them go to pot. I saw a neighborhood do this in a three year period. This web site says Bozeman has a population of about 35,000 but I think it is easily 50,000+ now. To get an idea of how much this area has grown, it was probably only about 20,000 (if that) in the 1990 census, when it was a nice little town. If you plan on coming here to MSU, plan on staying on campus (there are alternatives to the dorms that are nice), otherwise give this town a pass. Unless you have access to a small fortune or are a brilliant entrepaneur, you will almost certainly not make it.[read more...]
Love it here! - 3/21/2008 For those who come from crazy, busy, fast-paced environments, with tons of traffic and crime - Bozeman is a dream. Yes, housing is expensive, but less so than many other places across the nation. Yes, wages are lower than expected, but from my experience, people don't move here for the income potential. People move here for a better quality of life, a better environment to raise children, to be able to leave your car unlocked for 5 minutes without fear everything in it being stolen, to enjoy all the benefits of nature, Yellowstone Park, and the outdoor activities too numerous to name herein. It may indeed be tough for degreed college students to find a job here worth a decent salary, but in my humble opinion the pros surely outweigh the cons. If you want a big, fat salary - move to a big, fat city. I could literally kiss the ground here after any trip to SF, Denver or Seattle.[read more...]

Electrophoretic light scattering ELS
Electrophoretic Light Scattering ELS for electrophoretic mobility and zeta potential measurement
Electrophoretic Light Scattering (ELS) is a technique used to measure the electrophoretic mobility of particles in dispersion, or molecules in solution. This mobility is often converted to Zeta potential to enable comparison of materials under different experimental conditions.
The fundamental physical principle is that of electrophoresis. A dispersion is introduced into a cell containing two electrodes. An electrical field is applied to the electrodes, and particles or molecules that have a net charge, or more strictly a net zeta potential will migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode with a velocity, known as the mobility, that is related to their zeta potential.
The velocity is measured by the laser Doppler technique. There are two implementations of this. One to determine a frequency shift, which can give a full zeta potential distribution and a second known as PALS, where the phase shift is measured. PALS is a more sensitive method, but only gives an average zeta potential value.
The Zetasizer Nano uses both techniques to give the best of both worlds.
Products using Electrophoretic Light Scattering
- These systems measure:
- Zeta potential, particle size & molecular weight
- Particle size range:
- 0.3nm to 10µm
- Zeta potential size range:
- 0.38nm to 100µm
- Dispersion type:
- Wet
- Technology:

Your view of whether Romney won the first presidential debate probably has a lot to do with your feelings on what constitutes a victory in that situation. If you're scoring on how many times Romney bullied the moderator, it was a clear slam dunk.
If you taking the actual validity of his statements, it's not as clear. His spiels were as filled with distortions and total lies as ever, but the strategy of stating those with a maximum of testosterone in as pushy a way possible seemed to work.
If someone shoves it in your face, it must be true.
Hell, his forcefulness had me half convinced that the sky was falling and Obama was poking it with a stick, as well as scared at the thought of him sitting in meetings with foreign leaders.
It's always a good idea to step beyond the bluster and do some fact-checking, which is pretty simple in the 21st Century. You can fact check all you want now - there's this good Associated Press one, the PolitiFact one and the FactCheck one.
They all call out both candidates and show that "winning" a debate has more to do with demeanor and what the viewers are looking for than substance.
I can only say that presidential election time works with the same speed as Narnia time. Not even two weeks ago, television pundits were burying their heads and screaming "Sweet Jesus!" at the man and the National Review pretty much stuck a fork in him.
Just the day before the debates, it seemed as though the more Ohioans encountered him, the less they liked him. Whether the public spectacle of Romney ignoring Miss Manners help help him in the long run?
Personally, I think that sort of behavior flies once, but it's a long haul till November.

TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) — The U.S. government says it should be immune from civil lawsuits filed over the 2010 flash floods at the Albert Pike Recreation Area that killed 20 people.
Attorneys for the government made the immunity claim in recent court filings in lawsuits filed by victims' relatives over the 2010 flooding.
The lawsuits accuse the U.S. Forest Service of failing to properly design the campgrounds and not warning campers of the flooding risk. The Texarkana Gazette reports that attorneys for the government argue that it should be covered by immunity granted to landowners.
The motion says plaintiffs will have to prove the government intentionally and maliciously allowed camping while knowing that the area presented an "ultra-hazardous" condition.
Plaintiffs have not yet responded to the motions.

Cheektowaga, NY (WKBW) - On Monday, tens of thousands of people will celebrate Dyngus Day and the Polish heritage of many Western New Yorkers.
The party started late Sunday evening for hundreds of people.
As Easter Sunday comes to an end, Dyngus Day celebrations began.
Richard Cieslak says, "We celebrate Easter in the house with the family, get them out and come here!"
A polka band sang, "everybody's Polish on Dyngus Day," while people in the audience danced along.
The Dyngus Day kick-off event included the Blessing of the Instruments.
Marty Biniasz, a co-founder of Dyngus Day Buffalo says, "There's nothing like Dyngus Day in Buffalo! It's the largest celebration of Polish pride -- not only in our community but across the country."
People are even coming in from Rochester and other states for the celebration.
Dyngus Day grows every year. More than 30 polka bands are set to play on Monday.
Jim Mieklicki says "it really has become something else. It is comparable to Mardi Gras!"
In 2012, Dyngus Day even sent CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper into a fit of laughter.
However, this year organizers plan an ode to the TV-Host. The shell of a mini-cooper is hanging from the Buffalo Central Terminal.
However, organizers say there are no grudges.
"It was worth a million dollars worth of publicity," says Eddy Dobosiewicz, a co-founder of Dyngus Day Buffalo.
After all, Dobosiewicz says that laughter is what Dyngus Day is all about.

You are a bad person if you send your children to private school. Not bad like murderer bad - but bad like ruining-one-of-our-nation's-most-essential-institutions-in-order-to-get-what's-best-for-your-kid bad. So, pretty bad.
I am not an education policy wonk: I'm just judgmental. But it seems to me that if every single parent sent every single child to public school, public schools would improve. This would not happen immediately. It could take generations. Your children and grandchildren might get mediocre educations in the meantime, but it will be worth it, for the eventual common good. (Yes, rich people might cluster. But rich people will always find a way to game the system: That shouldn't be an argument against an all-in approach to public education any more than it is a case against single-payer health care.)
So, how would this work exactly? It's simple! Everyone needs to be invested in our public schools in order for them to get better. Not just lip-service investment, or property tax investment, but real flesh-and-blood-offspring investment. Your local school stinks but you don't send your child there? Then its badness is just something you deplore in the abstract. Your local school stinks and you do send your child there? I bet you are going to do everything within your power to make it better.
And parents have a lot of power. In many underresourced schools, it's the aggressive PTAs that raise the money for enrichment programs and willful parents who get in the administration's face when a teacher is falling down on the job. Everyone, all in. (By the way: Banning private schools isn't the answer. We need a moral adjustment, not a legislative one.)
There are a lot of reasons why bad people send their kids to private school. Yes, some do it for prestige or out of loyalty to a long-standing family tradition or because they want their children to eventually work at Slate. But many others go private for religious reasons, or because their kids have behavioral or learning issues, or simply because the public school in their district is not so hot. None of these are compelling reasons. Or, rather, the compelling ones (behavioral or learning issues, wanting a not-subpar school for your child) are exactly why we should all opt in, not out.
I believe in public education, but my district school really isn't good! you might say. I understand. You want the best for your child, but your child doesn't need it. If you can afford private school (even if affording means scrimping and saving, or taking out loans), chances are that your spawn will be perfectly fine at a pathetic public school. She will have support at home (that's you!) and all the advantages that go along with being a person whose family can pay for and cares about superior education - the exact kind of family that can help your lousy public school become less lousy. She may not learn as much or be as challenged, but take a deep breath and live with that. Oh, but she's gifted? Well, then, she'll really be fine.
I went K-12 to a terrible public school. My high school didn't offer AP classes, and in four years, I only had to read one book. There wasn't even soccer. This is not a humblebrag! I left home woefully unprepared for college, and without that preparation, I left college without having learned much there either. You know all those important novels that everyone's read? I haven't. I know nothing about poetry, very little about art, and please don't quiz me on the dates of the Civil War. I'm not proud of my ignorance. But guess what the horrible result is? I'm doing fine. I'm not saying it's a good thing that I got a lame education. I'm saying that I survived it, and so will your child, who must endure having no AP calculus so that in 25 years there will be AP calculus for all.
By the way: My parents didn't send me to this shoddy school because they believed in public ed. They sent me there because that's where we lived, and they weren't too worried about it. (Can you imagine?) Take two things from this on your quest to become a better person: 1) Your child will probably do just fine without "the best," so don't freak out too much, but 2) do freak out a little more than my parents did - enough to get involved.
Also remember that there's more to education than what's taught. As rotten as my school's English, history, science, social studies, math, art, music and language programs were, going to school with poor kids and rich kids, black kids and brown kids, smart kids and not-so-smart ones, kids with superconservative Christian parents and other upper-middle-class Jews like me was its own education and life preparation. Reading Walt Whitman in ninth grade changed the way you see the world? Well, getting drunk before basketball games with kids who lived at the trailer park near my house did the same for me. In fact it's part of the reason I feel so strongly about public schools.
Many of my (morally bankrupt) colleagues send their children to private schools. I asked them to tell me why. Here is the response that most stuck with me: "In our upper-middle-class world, it is hard not to pay for something if you can and you think it will be good for your kid." I get it: You want an exceptional arts program and computer animation and maybe even Mandarin. You want a cohesive educational philosophy. You want creativity, not teaching to the test. You want great outdoor space and small classrooms and personal attention. You know who else wants those things? Everyone.
Whatever you think your children need - deserve - from their school experience, assume that the parents at the nearby public housing complex want the same. No, don't just assume it. Do something about it. Send your kids to school with their kids. Use the energy you have otherwise directed at fighting to get your daughter a slot at the competitive private school to fight for more computers at the public school. Use your connections to power and money and innovation to make your local school - the one you are now sending your child to - better. Don't just acknowledge your liberal guilt - listen to it.

Diabetes can harm your eyes. It can damage the small blood vessels in your retina, the back part of your eye. This is called diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetes also increases your risk of having glaucoma, cataracts, and other eye problems.
Retinopathy - diabetic; Photocoagulation - retina; Diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to blood vessels of the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye. It changes light and images that enter the eye into nerve signals that are sent to the brain.
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age Americans. People with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at risk for this condition.
There are two stages of diabetic retinopathy:
The chance of getting retinopathy and having a more severe form is greater when:
Other problems that may develop are:
Most often, diabetic retinopathy has no symptoms until the damage to your eyes is severe.
Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include:
Many people with early diabetic retinopathy have no symptoms before major bleeding occurs in the eye. This is why everyone with diabetes should have regular eye exams.
The health care provider can diagnose diabetic retinopathy by dilating your pupils with eye drops and then carefully examining the retina. A retinal photography or fluorescein angiography test may also be used.
You may not know there is any damage to your eyes until the problem is very bad. Your doctor can catch problems early if you get regular exams. You will need to see an eye doctor who is trained to find and treat diabetic retinopathy.
Everyone with diabetes should have regular diabetic eye exams by an eye doctor who is skilled in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
If you have the early stage of diabetic retinopathy (nonproliferative), your health care provider may see:
If you have more advanced retinopathy (proliferative), your health care provider may see:
People with the earlier form (nonproliferative) of diabetic retinopathy may not need treatment. However, they should be closely followed by an eye doctor who is trained to treat diabetic eye diseases.
Once your eye doctor notices new blood vessels growing in your retina (neovascularization) or you develop macular edema, treatment is usually needed.
Several procedures or surgeries are the main treatment for diabetic retinopathy.
Laser eye surgery creates small burns in the retina where there are abnormal blood vessels. This process is called photocoagulation. It is used to keep vessels from leaking or to get rid of abnormal, fragile vessels.
A surgical procedure called vitrectomy is used when there is bleeding (hemorrhage) into the eye. It may also be used to repair retinal detachment.
Drugs that prevent abnormal blood vessels from growing, and steroid drugs injected into the eyeball are possible new treatments for diabetic retinopathy.
If you cannot see well:
American Diabetes Association - www.diabetes.org
National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse - www.diabetes.niddk.nih.gov
Prevent Blindness America - www.preventblindness.org
You can improve your outcome by keeping good control over your blood sugar and blood pressure.
Treatments can reduce vision loss. They do not cure diabetic retinopathy or reverse the changes that have already occurred.
Call for an appointment with an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you have diabetes and you have not seen an ophthalmologist in the past year.
Call your doctor if any of the following symptoms are new or are becoming worse:
Tight control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol is very important for preventing diabetic retinopathy.
Do not smoke. If you need help quitting, ask your doctor or nurse.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
ESPN's Young: 'Aaron Rodgers will beat you if he's protected'
I aleady posted some of what ESPN's Steve Young had to say about the Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers playoff game, but there's more.
Below are Young's answers to questions put to him on Wednesday during a conference call about the game and some of the key players:
Q: "The speed of the game for a guy like Colin Kaepernick in the playoffs, how do you think he will face that and deal with that and how do you think, after watching him, he will be prepared for this Packers' defense?"
Young: "He gets a lot of help, and I think that's the pact that Jim Harbaugh made when he made the controversial switch, because his defense was so good and his offensive line was so good and his runners were so good, and his philosophy was not that demanding compared to other teams that they could protect him enough from having to do the things that just are difficult.
"Even Andrew Luck, with the amazing season he had, turned the ball over a bunch, threw it into people's chests some. It's just the nature of the difficulty and that's going to be obviously the degree of difficulty in the playoffs.
"I think that the calculus for this game and the playoffs for Colin is they cannot put him in a situation where he's deep in a hole and he's got to throw his way out of it. They are going to try to prevent that. They are going to try to make sure that they don't do what they have done before: turn the ball over a bunch in New Orleans, turn the ball over a bunch in New England, because you saw when they didn't turn the ball over a bunch, the defense – and get the ball back to Colin and that they had to come back in Seattle – that's not the scenario he wants obviously.
"I think if Colin is forced to see the full measure of all of the defenses and coverages that Green Bay has in the arsenal it is going to be tough on him. I think the idea is that he's going to be protected from that and Jim is probably hoping that he sees full???field reads, reads where he has to take all that in and deal with that maybe five times in a game. That would be optimal, right, where you just don't get in those situations too often.
"I think that's how he always thought this would go, and now his dream is that doesn't break down and then he has Colin take 25, 30, 40 snaps of pure, unadulterated read the defense, figure out where everybody is, safeties are raining down and now it's on you."
Q. "When you look at Aaron Rodgers – seems to be at pretty much the height of his powers – is having him as much of an advantage as it would seem going against a rookie quarterback and what's the 49ers path to victory here?"
Young: "Well, Aaron Rodgers will beat you if he's protected. If you can bring four guys and put pressure on Aaron Rodgers, you can beat him. I saw it in Seattle in spades with the Monday night game where they were – it's four guys that just tortured the Packers and they got beat.
"Now, we can talk about the end another day, but I think that Aaron is really in that elite category that we just described with Peyton (Manning) and Tom (Brady) where they are playing downhill. They have seen it all. They are ahead of what we call the free-agent defense, which obviously now is 10, 12, 13, 15 years old, but still, it changes every year, and the guys that are really good, that own all of the data and can reflexively recall all of it immediately can really dictate to defenses that they are going to put together every summer.
"And so those guys, and that's why you look at Super Bowl history and in the last 10 years, really almost except for a couple that you could argue against me, it's those guys that win the Super Bowl, it's those guys that make those plays that are playing more downhill that win it.
"So to beat Aaron Rodgers, obviously – if you bring five or six, that's more of an uneven fight to Aaron's favor; but if you can bring four – and that's why Justin Smith is so important in my mind. If he's playing and full speed and they can bring four with Aldon Smith, create havoc with four guys, that's the special sauce that Aaron can't control. He can't beat that because he's just under duress and every quarterback knows you can't. Under a certain amount of duress, you can't do your job. But other than that, it's all advantage to Aaron Rodgers."
Q: In 2005 when the 49ers had the lowest-ranked offense in the league, was there anything you saw that year that told you Mike McCarthy might be a very successful NFL coach after that?
Young: "It's so funny the irony that you bring up, because when the Packers went to the Super Bowl a few years ago, the irony for those of us that watched Mike and know his history and know the history of deciding between Aaron and Alex (Smith), it was almost too much to make the irony in the moment.
"And so, yeah, it was a brutal time because Pittsburgh is known for defense, Chicago is known for defense and that city responds to that, and this city responds to offense, they appreciated defense but they want the ball flying. They want to see the scores and it's just the way it works and they want to see the quarterbacks. I think that 2005 was, you know, kind of as low as you can go. That's interesting. I think Mike is hopeful that you don't remember all of that because the irony of him coaching Aaron Rodgers in Super Bowls and all of the things he's done. I know Mike didn't make the decision about Alex but it's funny how things roll around."
Q: What was the more memorable pass for you – the game-winner to T.O. (Terrell Owens) against the Packers (Jan. 3, 1999) or the Super Bowl opening TD to Jerry (Rice)?
Young: "The better pass is the T.O. pass because, let's face it, it was the last play of the game. You've got to go to the end zone. I mean, you've got to move people around, and people aren't going to move around. They've got nowhere to go. So to get some kind of movement from LeRoy (Butler), to get some kind of movement from Darren (Sharper), that shouldn't be there, that's the toughest job. It's kind of the oldest thing – I know that you know and you know that I know and we know each other, no matter what you do. To get some movement to have them believe that you're doing something else after facing each other over and over and over, was one of the great feats. It just doesn't happen. Not just the play in general but the throw, getting people to move in places they shouldn't be, and make an opening that shouldn't be there, was a higher degree of difficulty, kind of like an Olympic dive. And to this day, I'm sure Mike Holmgren and everyone else are like 'How in the world did we allow that to happen?' This was not a jump ball that T.O. jumped higher than everyone and wrestled to the ground, figured out a way to make some catch. This was tactical, run a play, move people around and find an opening and deliver the football. It's part of from the huddle. So that's why that one was a little bit better of a throw."

um steve - the seahawks didn't beat* the packers. i mean really. i live in the northwest and seahawks fans constantly say - yeah well - we're unbeaten at home. i just look at them and say "really?"
What a pin head, the seabirds lost the game. It was a debacle, and it precipitated rodger getting on the horn and opening his checkbook. Young is such a buffoon.
This comment has been deleted.
Go away troll
Too bad Steve doesn't remember that JR fumble just before the pass--if instant replay were in effect then, Young never would have had the opportunity for that pass.
WOW! I never realized that Steve Young took that many shots to the head when he was playing! <:rolleyeshere:> It's a shame, I really liked the guy as a PLAYER. But as a commentator? The guy is real close to being just another blathering imbecile 'analyst'!
The ELI and Brady comment said it all! LOL -
Just a question, but isn't it kind of universal truism that just about any quarterback that plays in the NFL can beat you if he's protected (unless you're talking about Joe Webb)?

Biden disses Joe the plumber
Joe Biden says he doesn't know any plumbers that make $250K
(CNN) Joe Biden sounded skeptical of Joe the Plumber Wurzelbachers working-class credentials Thursday.
You notice John [McCain] continues to cling to the notion of this guy Joe the plumber, Biden said on NBCs Today show. I don't have any Joe the plumbers in my neighborhood that make $250,000 a year that are worried.
The Joe the plumbers in my neighborhood, the Joe the cops in my neighborhood, the Joe the grocery store owners in my neighborhood they make, like 98 percent of the small businesses, less than $250,000 a year, said the Democratic VP nominee. And theyre going to do very well under us, and theyre going to be in real tough shape under John McCain.
McCain cited Wurzelbacher, who questioned Obama about his tax plan during a recent Ohio campaign swing, as someone would face higher taxes under the Democrats economic proposals.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual wage for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters in the United States in 2007 was $47,350.

Adjusting Headlights
Adjustment The driver's seat must be loaded by a person or a 165 lbs. (75 kg) weight and the tire pressures must meet the prescribed values. After being loaded, the car must be rolled a few meters so that the suspension can settle. For checking the headlight adjustment, the vertical position of the cutoff of the lowbeam (see fig.) has to be projected on a vertical screen (wall) in distance of 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) from the front lens of the headlamp. The correct position of the cutoff is 2.0 in. (5 cm) at 24.6 ft. or 7.5 m (0.4°) below a horizontal line, x cm from ground to the center of the headlamp lens. Lateral adjustment of the headlights should be carried out at a specialist workshop with an optical adjustment unit. Distance | ||||||||

Encouraging . . .
So many months back I made a list of the top 10 things I wanted to accomplish in life. Two of those things were "Write a novel" and "Have said Novel Published". This is a HUGE goal for me. I've always looked at authors as ivy league educated PhD's, etc. Yes, I know that's not at all true. I know there are some authors who just happened to write a book and get it published, etc. But one of my little niggling self doubts has to do with not having a college degree. Don't get me wrong, I've had a TON of education. Throughout my days at Boeing, all my MCSE classes gave me basically the equivalent of a B.S. in Information Technology. (Well at least when I was actually studying for a B.S. in IT, I knew more than the instructors) Obtaining my ABR, GRI and now my broker's license (will take the test this summer, I promise!) has given me an all together different kind of education. All of that mingled in with enough credits spread around between 3 different colleges to make me a Junior somewhere, and I've HAD an education. I just don't have the piece of paper to hang on the wall.So anyway, yesterday a friend pointed me to a blog of someone who is an author. This person just published a book. AND has a contract for THREE MORE through her publisher. She is MAKING A LIVING as an AUTHOR. And this is what I read in her blog:
"They would invite there friends over and all the kids would play and the parents would drink and play cards."
There - Over there, relating to location
Their - Shows posession (should have been used in this instance)
They're - Contraction of 'they are'
I won't even get into run on sentences because that's one of my biggest faults. We all make mistakes, but really this little sentence gave me a wee bit of hope that I too could be an author. It made me realize author's have editors. They don't need to have an english degree from Harvard to be successful. It goes back to the old saying: "Don't sweat the small stuff, and remember it's all small stuff". I tend to focus on details. I want to make sure EVERYTHING is perfect before I jump into something. It made me realize that the most important part of writing a book was actually the writing. It's not the grammar or spelling, it's simply the act of writing.
"You don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great" - I think Zig Ziglar said that.
This is a concept that has been smacking me in the face lately. I've been too focused on getting everything JUST right that I don't start tasks at all. So it's time to just start.

The new switches provide a capacity of up to 48T and support switching of 100GE, 40GE, 10GE, and GE interfaces. They also offer virtualization and convergence of computing, storage , and networks, which Huawei said could help data centers project their use over a 10-year lifespan.
Cluster Switch System
CloudEngine is Huawei's next-generation switch family, and is intended to handle the extreme networking challenges that come with cloud -based services, such as traffic growth, service scale and manageability. The company said that it was offering customers a solution for this environment with solid reference architecture and a highly scalable, virtualized platform.
The switches are intended for midmarket and high-end enterprise customers, with management through a single interface.
Features of the CloudEngine series include bandwidth per slot of up to 2 Tbps, and switching capacity of up to 48 Tbps, which Huawei said was 300 percent more than the highest level in the industry. The switches also support moving from GE/10GE servers, over a 10-year span, to 40GE/100GE servers.
Traffic bursts, not uncommon for such cloud apps as data access and parallel computing, are processed by non-blocking CLOS fabric architecture and large distributed buffers. The switches also offer front-to-rear ventilation channel design for heat dissipation.
Multiple switches can be virtualized into one logical switch using the Cluster Switch System, and the Virtual System can virtualize a single switch into many logical devices. The result, the company said, is the ability to facilitate allocating network resources on demand.
Target: Cisco
Virtual machines are supported, in that network administrators can build large, Layer 2 networks with over 500 nodes, permitting flexibility in service deployment and speed in migration. Coupled with the nCenter network management system, Huawei said that the CloudEngine products can provide 10 times more virtual parallel processing capability than the average in the industry.
