Does anyone have any thoughts on how nuts should affect my blood sugar? My nutritionist (who is not diabetes educated in my opinion) suggested adding nuts to my diet but they are so expensive I wanna make sure I'm not screw up my levels which have been really good lately!

Raw almonds are one of my go to snacks and they are great for your levels and so much more. You don't have to eat a lot of them to benefit from them, so for the price you can make them go a long way. I have some kind of nuts every day.

Nuts!! The boring RAW NUTS are the only ones to eat. Walnuts and Almonds - 1/4 cup each evening will help to bring Triglycerides levels in-line. NUTS MUST BE MEASURED, a handful here and there add too many calories.

If you eat nuts in small quantities they give you the added protein you need to keep your sugars in control.They are not a diet food because they are high in watch your quantities. i find that they give me a variety and they are easy to pack in my purse

Thanks for all the helpful advice I'm going to pick up a couple different types and see how it goes :) I'm gonna try raw walnuts pistachios and pecans I don't like peanuts even though they are cheaper lol

Ask your glucose meter. If your glucose is too high then reduce portion. If still high don't eat.

Nuts in moderation can be a great snack. Problem is once people start snacking on them they don't stop and eat too many. Portion control is important with nuts.

I have been eating nuts as a snack for years. If I eat to many (very easy to do) than it will definitely raise my blood sugar, and cause weight gain. I avoid salted nuts as mentioned by Glucerna, and I keep the portion size much smaller than I would like.

jayabee52 2014-04-11 01:03:27 -0500 Report

AW NUTS! (just had to say it)

I should not eat nuts because of my kidney issues due to too much postassium in them. So if anyone has kidney issues eating nuts of any kind is a no no, no matter what other good things they have.

Glucerna 2014-04-09 18:21:41 -0500 Report

Nuts certainly can be part of an overall healthy diet, and like others said look for ones that are unsalted and unflavored to avoid too much sodium. Portion size is key, because it's really easy to eat more than we realize. You might try adding nuts to a meal or snack and see if that affects your blood sugar levels. ~Lynn @Glucerna

Type1Lou 2014-04-09 17:06:53 -0500 Report

Nuts are my go-to snack of choice. They are relatively low-carb and packed full of good nutrients and fiber. About 23 whole almonds have 6 grams of carb; 6 Brazil nuts or 11 macadamia nuts have 4 grams; 14 walnut halves have 4 grams; 18 cashews have 9 grams and 49 shelled pistachios have 8 grams; 1/4 of dry roasted peanuts have about 9 grams.

jigsaw 2014-04-13 15:08:40 -0500 Report

So, do you take a count everytime you have some nuts? (-; I don't know, but I can just picture you sitting there taking a count. LOL!

Type1Lou 2014-04-13 16:55:05 -0500 Report

Believe it or not, I do. It's usually almonds, the sugar-free cocoa roasted or cinnamon roasted varieties marketed under the "Emerald" brand. (I have been accused of being bit "anal-retentive")

jigsaw 2014-04-13 20:55:59 -0500 Report

Those are delicious nuts! Last time I had them, I lost control, and ate too many. Simply put, I can't resist having just a few more ( over and over again ). As far as I'm concerned, if counting nuts is helpful, by all means you are very lucky! As for me, the only thing that helps is not buying large quantities. Not eating a huge amount of available cocoa almonds, would be almost as difficult as never looking at an attractive woman. Just can't be done.

Type1Lou 2014-04-14 07:33:40 -0500 Report

That's the reason I don't bake much anymore…can't resist the tasting while making stuff nor the end product…it's easier just not to have the temptation there to begin with…we all develop our own coping mechanisms. My husband bakes his own stuff now and for some reason, I'm not tempted to eat "his" baked goods…go figure?!

auntiecassie 2014-04-09 13:09:00 -0500 Report

Thanks guys :) I will check them out I was just concerned because the guy kept telling me not to worry about carbs which goes against everything I've ever been taught lol

Nick1962 2014-04-09 14:37:29 -0500 Report

Yes, there are a few carbs in nuts, but when that’s balanced against the amount of protein, fiber and essential fats they provide it’s not an issue as long as like Steve suggests, you watch portions (but this is one food I cheat big time with).

haoleboy 2014-04-09 15:47:50 -0500 Report

I'm with you Nick … I do not "cheat" but may occasionally "fudge the portions" on nuts … not a terrible thing as they have so many good things going for them nutritionally (at least that is the rationalization I use ;)

Nick1962 2014-04-09 18:12:42 -0500 Report

Nice thing is even in correct portions, they more than fill me up and keep me from eating other things throughout the day.

haoleboy 2014-04-09 12:41:41 -0500 Report

Like Nick I also eat nuts every day. Usually raw and always unsalted. My favorites are almonds, walnuts and pistachios. There are numerous health benefits to eating nuts, and studies have shown that they do can help control your blood glucose levels . As with everything portion control is important. For example a 'serving' of walnuts is one ounce (about 14 halves).

Nick1962 2014-04-09 11:37:18 -0500 Report

They are actually pretty good for diabetics, and there have been some claims that almonds specifically help reduce spikes and can potentially slow the absorption of carbohydrates, stabilizing blood glucose levels.
I eat nuts daily (more than I should) and have never had a problem, but your mileage may vary so test ‘em out. Also, I usually by the store brand unsalted roasted peanuts which are pretty cheap.

Path 3 adds private messaging and stickers, much like your 5th grade binder

Written by Digital News on . Posted in News from the Web

Path 3 adds private messaging and stickers like your 5th grade yearbook

Path hasn't held the same grip on social networkers as Facebook or Twitter, in part because it's almost too social -- you can't really control which friends (or friends of friends) see a post. The solution in Path 3.0? Recreate your Trapper Keeper from grade school, apparently. Along with introducing a much-appreciated private messaging system that lets two or more friends share text, maps, media and voice messages, the update lets us slap expressive stickers into the conversation when a basic emoticon just won't do. Of course, that's also how Path hopes to get a few extra bucks: two sticker packs come free, while others lurk in the same shop as custom photo filters. If you just have to tell buddies that Stacey was soooooo gross in chemistry class, you can get Path 3.0 today on iOS, and shortly on Android.

HP planning return to smartphone sector

Senior director Yam Su Yin confirms that the company is working on a handset.

HP has confirmed that it is planning a return to the smartphone market.

One of the company's senior directors Yam Su Yin let the news slip during a recent interview with The Indian Express.

"The answer is yes but I cannot give a timetable'" she said when asked whether HP is working on a new smartphone. "It would be silly if we say no. HP has to be in the game.

"Being late you have to create a different set of propositions. There are still things that can be done. It's not late. When HP has a smartphone, it will give a differentiated experience."

HP has released several smartphones running its WebOS software in the past, such as its now-defunct Palm Pre devices.

The WebOS operating system has since changed hands and is now under the ownership of LG.

Hot, High-Tech Travel Gadgets

Money? Check. Identification? Yep. Clean clothes? Uh huh. The necessities of travel haven’t changed much over the years, but a number of high-tech toys can help make your upcoming trips more fun, productive and hassle-free. A good camera and/or camcorder is a given, sure, but also consider one or more of these following gadgets, ranging in price from $25 to $500.

Weight a minute

Avoid the embarrassing surprise of the “luggage shuffle” at the airport, where you must shift the contents between two or more suitcases to avoid the excess weight charge. Instead, the Balanzza ($24.95; balanzzastore.com) is the first digital luggage scale that lets you easily weigh your luggage at home or at the hotel before heading to the airport. Simply attach the strap to your luggage, use the handle to lift it up with one or two hands and hold it until you hear a beep.

A smarter smartphone

A smartphone is a must-have companion in today’s day and age, as it not only lets you stay in touch with those who matter — via phone, text, email or IM — but you’ve got a web browser at your fingertips, apps for currency conversion and language translation, music and games, GPS navigation, a camera, and much more. A good pick is the HTC Evo 4G ($199.99 with 2-year contract; sprint.com), a powerful Android phone with support for the speedy (and growing) WiMax network.

Check out our HTC EVO 4G Review.

Hit the road, Jack

Not all GPS navigation devices are created equal. The Garmin nuvi 1370T ($239.99; garmin.com), for instance, includes maps for both North America and Europe out of the box. This 4.3-inch dashboard device also features support for Bluetooth (allowing you to chat hands-free via a nearby phone), lifetime traffic alerts in supported cities and a lane assist feature that prepares you for upcoming turns or off-ramps. Leaving the car? A pedestrian and public transit mode could be helpful, too.

Thin is in, light is right

While many adventurers will opt for a netbook or notebook — and they are both ideal travel companions — the Apple iPad (from $499; apple.com) offers a number of appealing advantages over a conventional computer. It’s only 1.5 pounds, turns on instantly, last up to 12 hours between charges and supports more than 200,000 applications right from the get-go. The iPad is also a competent e-book reader, media player, and more.

Home > Social Media > British politician launches US-only alternative to…

British politician launches US-only alternative to Twitter

Does the format and frequency of Twitter frequently leave you frustrated instead of educated, and feeling left out of the conversation instead of right there in the middle of everything that’s going on? If so, then British politician Louise Mensch has the solution for you… as long as you live in America, that is.

Mensch is one of the two creators of Menshn, a new site that describes itself as “a new social network, formed around a simple idea – talk, on topic.” As might be expected considering Mensch’s day job, the initial focus of the network will be political discussion, but the Menshn Rules point out that “future versions of the site will expand our rooms into every topic that has demand for it. World Series? Check. Weddings? Check. Olympics? Check.”

Those same rules point out the kind of moderation that users can expect from the network. “If you harass, spam, clog feeds and so forth, we can delete your account without notice,” the rules state, going on to say that posts “age off” the site after a week and will not be stored on servers, but “reported or rated [messages], or [messages] we are asked to keep by legal authorities or to investigate a complaint, we may keep as long as we choose.” Anything posted to the site will become available to other users, Menshn or – interestingly – “future partner companies” for use, but anything illegal, including malware or libel, “it’s on you,” according to the site. “We will absolutely co-operate with law enforcement. So take responsibilty for anything you menshn.”

The network is the result of Mensch, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Corby, finding herself increasingly upset with a certain 140-character-limit network of most people’s acquaintance. “This is an idea that I’ve had since Christmas. I’ve been a passionate user of social media since the days of AOL chatrooms, and that was the inspiration really,” she told the Guardian newspaper. “[Business partner Luke Bozier and I] were both frustrated at the way Twitter doesn’t focus on topics. We both love Twitter, but if you want to focus on the election there’s no obvious place to do that online. Twitter is just too random. We wanted to encourage people to have conversations rather than broadcast their thoughts.”

Currently, Menshn – Named for a play on the word “mention” and not a play on her last name, she claims – offers three “rooms” for American political junkies: One for the Obama campaign, one for the Romney campaign, and a third generic one covering the US Election in general. As of this writing, there’s a discussion over which presidential candidate has watched the most pornography. Perhaps Menshn may be about to discover that thread drift isn’t always a bad thing…

Photography Submission Sites for Food

Got a new post? One way to spread the word is to submit a picture linked to your blog to one of the many photography submission sites for food…just for food!

Photography Submission Sites for Food

The original sites that do this sort of thing are Foodgawker and Tastespottting. But, it’s not easy to meet the criteria of these two sites. They are choosy!  It pays to learn the requirements though. If one of those sites accepts your submission, then you are almost guaranteed to get quality traffic and possibly a call from bigger publications doing round-up posts and such . 🙂

Here’s a list of photography submission sites for food that I regularly submit to and consistently drive traffic to my site:

  1. Finding Vegan (vegan only)
  2. Foodepix
  3. Foodieportal
  4. Foodgawker
  5. Healthy Aperture (healthy recipes only)
  6. Recipegraze
  7. TableFeast
  8. Tastespotting
  9. YumGoggle

There are a lot more sites around the internet. Some are brand new and others have been around for a while. The list is constantly changing too. I’ve just discovered some of the sites below and I am in the process of trying them out. Here they are in alphabetical order.

  1. Chowstalker
  2. Cookiehound (cookies only)
  3. Dessert Stalking (desserts only)
  4. Dishfolio
  5. eRecipeCards
  6. FoodAndFizz
  7. Fooderific (Easy Recipe Plugin Users)
  8. Foodie
  9. Photograzig@Serious Eats
  10. Recipleaser
  11. Tasteology
  12. Foodienewz
  13. FoodPornDaily
  14. FoodVee
  15. FoodFotoGallery
  16. Foodspreading
  17. Fridgg
  18. Gojee
  19. Kitchen Artistry
  20. Knapkins
  21. Liqurious (drinks only)
  22. RecipeGawker / World’s Recipes Hub
  23. SavorySights@PopSugar
  24. StackFood
  25. Tastefix
  26. The Feasting Eye
  27. Veggie Stalking (vegetables only)
  28. ZenSpotting

Photography submission sites for food vary in terms of what types of photos and recipes are accepted, how you submit entries and the picture sizes required. So, check out the submission guidelines for each site. Original photography and content is required. Many don’t allow posts for recipe round-ups and most are curated for photo quality and content.

It takes time to submit recipes to these sites and it helps to develop a streamlined submission routine. Find out which ones work for you and focus your efforts there. The bonus to this strategy is that you’re more likely to make connections with other bloggers in that community…and having some food blogger friends is a good thing.

Is there a good site missing from the list? Let me know!

Esri and RedSeal Bring Geospatial Analysis to Network Security

Esri and RedSeal Networks are joining forces to create a geospatial framework for cybersecurity. The goal is to fully integrate existing cybersecurity and information technology (IT) data with other organizational functions. This allows defense, the intelligence community, and federal civilian customers to improve IT's contribution to mission assurance and to enable rapid enterprise-wide response to cyber threats.

RedSeal software creates a logical network topology directly from routing device configuration files. These are typically manually generated, making them labor-intensive, error prone, and difficult to keep updated. By automatically generating IT topologies in real time, accuracy and effectiveness are improved. Organizations can be proactive in defending their networks. The software can also model the logical relationship between access to vulnerable devices and the paths to and from critical IT infrastructure, applications, and data in order to prioritize remediation.

Esri is geoenabling RedSeal's network schema by mapping the physical devices and modeling the physical data flows that implement the logical relationship. Since geography is a unifying framework, the ability to align data flow with specific organizational activities clarifies the impact of physical and cyber events on mission-essential operations.

"Federal customers have requested a COP [common operational picture] for years, but until now, it has been unclear exactly how to integrate cyber security," said Kimberly Baker, RedSeal's vice president for the public sector. "Esri's cyber supply line concept, combined with its state-of-the-art geospatial information platform, offers a way for the COP to be more than a collection of disparate data."

"RedSeal is the perfect teammate for this project," said Jeff Peters, Esri's director of federal programs. "Not only does the company provide a network and security solution that improves the accuracy and timeliness of constructing network topologies, but it also provides deep technical expertise in all aspects of IT network modeling and defense."

Please visit Esri (booth #553) at the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium, June 24–25, 2014, in Baltimore, Maryland, for a demonstration of version 1.0 of this cybersecurity solution.

# # #

About RedSeal
RedSeal Networks is the only security solution that provides true end-to-end network visibility and analytics to prevent cyber attacks. RedSeal's automated intelligence gives customers the power to fully see and understand their networks, including all ingress and egress paths that can be exploited. It enables them to rapidly identify, prioritize, and seal security gaps and prevent cybersecurity attacks, network breaches, and data leaks. The solution also assures executives, CIOs, and CISOs that third-party security investments are properly configured and positioned for optimal effectiveness.

how important is it to have a minor?

    Hey guys,

    I was just wondering how important it is, in your experience, to have a minor as part of your degree. I've asked my counsellors at university what they think, and inevitably the answer is "well, it depends" and they won't tell me anything more.

    I guess it depends on your degree and your aspirations, but I am an English major and I don't want to be a teacher or anything (not entirely sure what I'm up for, but something to do with international development or travel!) and the answer I've come up with for myself is... you came here to enjoy yourself, to learn things you wanted to learn. Just have fun! Don't limit yourself!

    Maybe I should also mention that I'm going to get a college degree after my B.A. so I guess that's partially why I'm not so worried about a minor :flower:

    Anyway, what do you think? Did you guys find it useful to have a minor? Maybe the school system is different in the U.S. (I'm from Canada) but there's not a huge emphasis here on double majors, etc. I think the general opinion is that a B.A. is a B.A., and it doesn't really matter whether you study politics, history, english, etc. because you'll end up in the same spot!

    I don't think I could offer too much advice because I'm not minoring in anything (just majoring in Psychology, which I'm very happy with). Some people I've talked to have picked up a minor because they were finished with their major or had some extra time. I'm not sure how a minor will help later on (grad school, jobs, etc.)

    Yes, college only happens once and you should definitely study the things that interest you! :)

    I think you could major in anything and get a good job anywhere.

    Good luck making a decision. :)

    My school its mandatory to have a minor unless you have a music performance or theatre major.

    I havnt picked mine yet (nor officially declared my major, im lazy lol) but i might just wind up picking a subject that i have enough classes in to fulfill minor requirement. its not important to me, personally, but i HAVE to do it by rules of my school.

    Another Canadian checking in. :)

    It seems that most of my friends are taking minors where possible. One of my friends is currently taking a B.A. and is majoring in history and is planning on minoring in communications, while another is taking a BSc and is majoring in math and minoring in chemistry. I am taking a BBA and I am concentrating in legal studies and finance. A professor once told me that the more letters you have behind your name, the better off you will be, and it seems many have the same idea with a major and a minor. However, as you said, I am sure it would depend on your aspirations.

    Good Luck!

    I am a history major, biology minor. Most people at my university (a very academically demanding school called the "Harvard of the Midwest) either double major, have one major and one minor, or have one major and 2+ minors.
    I declared a history major because I absolutely adore history. I declared a biology minor because biology has always sparked my interest.
    What am I going to do with this wacky combination?
    Get my PhD in the History of Science.
    So in my case having a minor in biology is going to look damn good on my application to grad school.
    It will also look good on my application to law school because it will show i have a diverse education.

    My minors are from majors that I declared, then changed my mind. (a GREAT way to be stuck in college forever, by the way. ;) )

    I think if you have a liberal arts major, a professional or more "practical" minor can be a great idea. I know lots of English or Letters majors with business and education or public administration minors. It's just kind of that assertion that not only have you developed the broad-based thinking and analysis skills necessary for a liberal arts degree, but you've also paid some mind to the professional world and prepared yourself for it.

    (I'll graduate with degrees in Film Studies and French, with minors in both Poli Sci and Public Administration; I plan on eventually getting an MPA and a graduate certificate in arts managment with an eye on working in the public or non-profit sector in arts education and promotion. Unless Disney will hire me in College Recruiting. :teeth: )

    I chose my dance minor because it was something I loved. I didn't know if it would help me, but I love to dance so I went with it. I teased my mom because right out of college I got a job with a professional dance team before I got my real every day job. She told me I'd never use my minor and there I was making money with my minor before my major!! :) I've always seen minors to be for subjects you really enjoy but dont' have the time to take a double major. (though I changed my Speech Comm minor into another major, so I might not be one to talk ;))

    As a 45yo+ college graduate(calss of '77) I can tell you my music minor has never meant a hill of beans to anyone but me--as a nurse they don't care whether I can sing and play three instruments as long as I give good care.. However, my DH has a double major in sociology & business, with a minor in psychology and it has been tremendously helpful in his career. so I think it depends on what your major is. If I were majoring in English or History, I would probably pick a minor which would enhance my chances of getting a job in the field that interests me, like journalism.

    My way of thinking though, is that if a minor is for personal development (for instance, knowing psychological principles to help in your business career) why not just take a few courses? Or buy a few books? I could just as easily buy the used textbooks for these courses and read them myself (which I completely intend to do. I love learning, for my own development).

    But my question was more directed at whether having a minor is important in the "real world" - to get people to hire you. In that case, I'm thinking that nothing I pair up with english (my school only offers the basics: anthropology, politics, history, etc.) will do much for me.

    And as I said, I intend to get a college degree after I complete my B.A. so I guess having a specialized degree would be much more important than having a minor.

    I can't say if you should take a minor or not since I was forced to take one and a double major for what I wanted. But I can say that depending on how closely it relates to your major, you can make a lot more money.
    I want to be a Special Education teacher, and my college only offers it as a minor. So you HAVE to take Education and Psychology as a double major to add the minor. As much as I hate any thing to do with Science, going into my sophomore year, I will only have 6 classes left for the Psych major. The minor though, we're not even allowed to touch until the start of sophomore year. Dumb I know.
    What I can tell you is this- I'm considering adding in a second minor- social work- simply because looking at my next three years, I'm going to have major time gaps open that need to be filled somehow and I'm halfway to the minor anyway. Look at something you're close to filling, and take it, because if you like it or not, it can open another door later down the road for you that could be important (plus, at least around here, the more things you have a "speciality" in, the more money you can make)...

    Hope this helped a bit... :confused3

    IMO, as a graduate, a minor is not really important at all. None of the law schools or jobs I have applied to cared. Moreover, any grad schools you plan to apply to will get a copy of your transcript, so they'll see what classes you took (so you don't have to say "look, I took lots of ____ classes in addition to my major).

    I think of it as just something else to add to a resume, and in this case not something that is worth the extra time and stress unless it's something you're reeeeally interested in.

    what about for science majors? is it still good to have a minor as well? Im majorin in civil engineering and from what Ive heard that the engineerin programm alone takes up a lot of time and becomes very difficult. I was thinking about perhaps minoring in architecture if it is offered, but then i heard that even a major in architecture from my school is more or less a degree in "arts and crafts" as so my uncle puts it who went back from his second degree because of it. Perhaps construction management? I do plan on going for my graduate degree after receiving my bs as well in structual engineering.

    as a biochem major, which is 52 credits compared to the 32 credits that every other major minus studio art and neuroscience has, it was optional for me to have a minor, because my major is considered interdisciplinary. i decided to make art history my minor because i'm interested in art conservation, which requires a formal art history background to get accepted to grad school. it really depends on what you want to do, there are a lot of other people at my school who have minors and are going into the field that their minor is in, not their major, or they are using their minor somehow though.

    I am someone who got a BA in English (and Arts & Letters) but also have a minor in Technical Writing. My minor was a huge part of the reason I got into my graduate program in technical writing. It definately helps in certain perfessions. If you are going to be a writer (fiction), then I am not sure if you need it. But it again just depends on the profession.

    As unresponsive as your counsellor's response, it is probably correct. I didn't have a minor (I have to admit that I had two majors that are closely related: finance and accounting). An advantage of a dual major or a minor is the broadening of your knowledge base. It may not specifically help you, but it may broaden the opportunities that you become aware of. An interesting tidbit is that once you get a job, your major doesn't really matter but your ability to do the job.

    I'm an Asst Registrar and students ask me about minors all the time. At ODU undergraduates have an upper-division general education requirement that is satisfied by a minor, double-major, or a "cluster" of specific courses. I typically always recommend the minor or double-major (mainly because it will appear on your transcript and the cluster doesn't). However, whether you choose to do a minor is pretty much up to you and your future plans. I would recommend that the minor selected somehow relates or contributes to the minor. For instance, if you major in Sports Management, a minor in a business field (accounting, marketing, international business, etc).

    If you are interested in the international aspect, check into an international business minor.

    Oh, and I didn't do a minor. I was a Business Admin major but did a double-concentration in Marketing and Management Science. One thing that I discovered after I graduated, if I would have done a minor in IT or Computer Science, when I entered the graduate program in computer science, I wouldn't have had to go back and take a bunch of the undergrad prerequisit courses.

    If you have a career center at your institution you might want to speak with one of the career counselors. Or, since you are planning to attend grad school, talk with the graduate program director to see what would better prep you for the grad program.

    Good luck!

If you're going for an overal Asian influence (a la Hawaii, where all Asian cuisines mix), I can recommend nagi maki. Negi (I'm spelling it this way, but since it isn't done with our alphabet, you'll see it as nage, nagi, etc), if I remenber correctly, refers to green onions, and maki means to roll. At any rate, you take some beef and slice it as thin as you can. THEN you pound the living daylights out of it .

You cut it up into appropriate sizes, and wrap each piece around a scallion/green onion. In my family we also added a very thin slice of carrot.

You wrap it in these very thin slices of beef, and spear with a toothpick.

saute in a neutral oil and remove from the pan.

Deglaze the pan when you're through with one part sake (almost any fortified wine will do this -- if your friends like sweet foods use sweet vermouth, marsala, madiera, port or sherry, if not dry vermouth), one part soy sauce, and 1/2 part sugar.

A real recipe for this is on pgs 168-169 of the most recent edition of Joy of Cooking.

I've cheated and used jam, jellies, and syrups to replace the sugar. I use whatever cuts of beef I can get on sale (after all, I'm going to beat the living daylights out of it).

I like this one because I can make it a day or two in advance. It can be served at room temperature. It's a bit of work in advance, but it always a hit.

Glad you liked my suggestions Since it is not necessarily Chinese, here are some more ideas: (Btw, if there is something that appeals to you, you can use it as part of your permanent home decor and experiment with your own creativity.) These are merely decorating/party suggestions, that you can adapt as you wish to fit your theme.

For the outdoors you could line these up in rows on concrete with some pebbles or sand on the bottom, and sit a tea lite on top:

Or as part of an arranged table setting or use the take out containers to send out party invites.

Indoor/Outdoor Mobile:

Suspend little umbrellas/parasols on an embroidery hoop (can be purchased at a fabric/craft store).

Mobiles - if you have a Chinatown in your area - there used to be glass wind chimes that would look and sound festive outdoors or indoors - & are probably inexpensive.

Parasols - suspend from the ceiling, place on the table, in drinks or part of a centerpiece. A light behind them would set a nice mood.

Chinese fans - make them by hand with rice paper or whatever you have on hand to decorate the table, walls, etc.

Pebble Water Fountains: Make your own, or check around for low cost.

Incense - adds a nice aroma.

Dinner Napkins - Can be fan-folded with a decorative napkin and ring of choice.

Paper Dragons - Check around Chinatown - place on the wall, etc.

Oriental Dinner Trays - hang on the wall, or place tea pot and matching cups on the tray on the table.

I love Kimonos! I wear them often, and have been looking for a special one to hang on the wall as part of my decor. If it fits into your theme, go for it. You could also drape an Obi or two on the wall.

Also, check out Pier One.

I have some more ideas, but don't want to lose the post.

Hello F&F community,

I wanted to share with you all the following piece I just saw that I think has some very good tips for supporting a survivor who may be struggling with flashbacks. Obviously these tips may not be immediately helpful if the survivor in your life acts out with aggression and anger when "triggered", but perhaps these tips can give you some things to suggest to them in calmer moments.

Supporting A Loved One Through PTSD Or Panic Attacks

Also, I hope you'll all take a look at the holiday message I just posted to the top of the forums. It would be especially wonderful to have some survivor partners give us some reviews on Great NonProfits.

Thanks and happy holidays to all!

Thank you for sharing. When I was having flashbacks and nightmares I found yself retreating to the floor with a blanket on top of me. It made me feel sager but the attacks would continue. I would hear noises from ourside the room which only made the flashbacks worse.

The cartoon and verbiage is on target and the supporter needs to be sensitive to the person experiencing the attack.

I found it very informative and insightful.

Feds want lab shut without hearing

OSU is appealing sanctions levied over procedures

By The Columbus Dispatch  •

Findings against the clinical laboratory at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center are so airtight that an administrative judge should uphold the sanctions without first holding a hearing, the federal government argues in a new case document.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services levied the sanctions this past summer after the lab sent six proficiency-test samples — meant for quality control, not patient diagnosis — to the Mayo Clinic and another OSU lab for testing. Federal law forbids sending out samples such as those.

The penalties, which are on hold during the hospital system’s appeal to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Departmental Appeals Board, could cost the lab millions of dollars in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, as well as its certification.

Losing its certification could force central Ohio’s only fully automated hospital lab to close, though OSU officials say they are dedicated to maintaining uninterrupted service for patients.

“We’re very committed to working with (the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) to find out what is the solution to allow those services to continue,” said Larry Anstine, CEO of the Ohio State University Hospital.

“One way or the other, we’re going to continue to have to have lab services.”

Of the 9.1 million patient tests performed by the OSU medical laboratory network in 2011, 7.24 million were performed at the lab in question. It also handled 9,110 proficiency-test samples.

Anstine declined to discuss contingency options for the hospital should it lose its appeal, saying that could affect the university’s discussions with the feds on how to resolve the matter.

The American Clinical Laboratory Association has said the federal government almost always wins cases before an administrative judge.

Hospital officials say they hope their cause will be bolstered by an amendment passed by Congress this month.The amendment gives the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services greater flexibility in taking enforcement action against laboratories that violate proficiency-testing rules.

In a pre-hearing document filed last week, the agency brushed aside the amendment, calling it “ immaterial.”

Six Ohio hospitals were penalized for lab violations between 2007 and 2011. They were among 14 labs statewide that were penalized during that five-year period. Penalties against those labs have ranged from limits placed on certain kinds of lab testing to dropping the labs’ eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid payments.

In July, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services levied sanctions that include revocation of the OSU lab’s certification and a loss of Medicare and Medicaid payments. Laboratory officials couldn’t say how much money the laboratory receives annually for inpatient testing, which accounts for the bulk of its revenue but is bundled with other reimbursements and therefore difficult to calculate.

The clinical lab receives about $5 million in reimbursement annually for outpatient testing, Anstine said.

The federal agency has argued that the OSU lab’s referrals of proficiency-test samples elsewhere were intentional. OSU officials and members of Ohio’s congressional delegation have said the referrals were unintentional, adding that steps have been taken to prevent such mistakes in the future.

Nobody was hurt by the lab’s noncompliance, lab supporters have said. But the feds have said proficiency-test violations are serious because they can identify shortfalls in the accuracy and reliability of lab testing and can alert lab officials to subtle shifts or trends over time that can affect their results.

A hearing date for the case has not been scheduled, a court official said yesterday. Ohio State has until Jan. 15 to respond to agency court filing. The agency yesterday declined to answer questions about the case.

Voting Booths

Voting Compartments for Polling Stations

Keep your polling station running smoothly with dependable voting booths. For voters, having a private and sturdy place to cast their ballots is crucial. With tall privacy screens on three sides, these polling booths provide voters a personal space to fill out their election ballot.

The large writing surface allows voters to carefully review the election information and check their ballot. Some polling booths include a top shelf, perfect for attaching accessories like lights and pen holders. These voting booths are constructed with high quality materials that prevent wobbling. For added versatility, these units also include height adjustable legs. Constructed with high quality materials, our election day booths won’t wobble when in use. The legs are fitted with levelers to provide an even work surface for voters.

Election Day Voting Booths

Many of voting booths are modular, allowing for a variety of configurations. Depending on the layout of your polling site, you can set them up in a row side by side or back to back. Choose between a variety of colors and designs to outfit your voting station with coordinating election supplies.

Deciding how to set up your voting stations is dependent on your individual space and the anticipated voter turnout. Often, polling booths are assembled around the perimeter of the area in a single row. This allows for a larger number of stations without compromising privacy. It also leaves a wide, accessible pathway to navigate through the voting area without obstructions. Having a clearly defined flow path guides voters through the process easier and also meets accessibility requirements.

Making voters feel comfortable and secure during the voting process is vital. A great way to create this feeling is to place voting booths out of the view of the main entrance and the bulk of foot traffic. For added privacy, floor standing barriers can be placed around voting compartments. If possible, do not set up the voting stations in the center of the polling place.

Think Tanks and the Brainwashing of America
by Harold Williamson
June 17, 2004

Send this page to a friend! (click here)

More than 60 American scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates, signed a statement that accused the Bush administration of suppressing or manipulating scientific evidence in order to promote their right-wing political agenda. The statement was issued in February along with a full report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), and it can be viewed at their web site.

The UCS substantiated their claims with internal government documents and interviews with current and former government officials. They found a "well established pattern of suppression and distortion of scientific findings by high-ranking Bush administration political appointees across numerous federal agencies."

According to the UCS, "There is evidence that the administration often imposes restrictions on what government scientists can say or write about 'sensitive' topics." They went on to say that, "In this context, 'sensitive' applies to issues that might provoke opposition from the administration's political and ideological supporters."

The UCS concluded: "There is significant evidence that the scope and scale of the manipulation, suppression, and misrepresentation of science by the Bush administration is unprecedented."

All this may be unprecedented in American history, but it is not without precedent in world history.

The true believers within the the Bush administration and its supporters have revived the medieval mindset of the Dark Ages -- a time when scientific findings were suppressed, manipulated, and distorted to fit the insular precepts of revealed truth by scholastic thinkers who thrived on public ignorance and ruled by intimidation.

Modern-day scholastic thinkers include the influential members of the various right-wing institutes, widely known as "think tanks," that date back to the early '70s as part of a dedicated effort by the more extreme elements of the corporate sector to crush the democratizing movements of the '60s.

When former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta was interviewed by Charlie Rose on Feb. 21, he said that over one billion dollars has been invested over the past decade in Washington "think tanks" such as the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and the American Enterprise Institute.

But the problem with "think tanks" is that they promote an ideology that is based on a "brains-in-vats" worldview.

"Brains in vats" is a theory of epistemology, a branch of philosophy that studies the extent and validity of knowledge and its presuppositions. This theory states that it cannot be proven that one is not a disembodied brain being kept alive in a vat while being wired to a machine and programmed to perceive reality as something different from what actually exists. The worldview that emerges amounts to nothing more than a virtual fantasy that has no basis in fact.

The blueprint for the Bush doctrine of preemptive war and the dream of a new global Pax Americana is the product of just such a think tank -- the Project for the New American Century. By promoting this virtual brains-in-vats worldview using a complicit corporate media, the Bush administration effectively brainwashed US public opinion completely off the international spectrum in the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq.

Since average US citizens were not privy to the classified pre-war intelligence, the validity of which is now under investigation, it was necessary to have faith in the judgment of the Bush administration as to whether or not Iraq was an imminent threat.

But it is now clear that regarding the alleged stockpiles of WMD, Iraq was in compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1441, and UN inspections had effectively curtailed Saddam Hussein's WMD programs. The threat that was perceived by the Bush administration did not exist in fact. It was merely a schoolboy's bad dream, and the subsequent invasion of Iraq has turned into a real nightmare for both the Iraqi and American people.

However, it is flirting with ecological disaster to ignore or manipulate scientific facts in order to make them conform to a political ideology. Ever since the dawn of the Age of Reason, scientists have known that the discovery of one ugly fact is all that is needed to scrap a beautiful theory. Scientists follow their reason as far as it will allow while not pretending certainty in matters that cannot be demonstrated.

But apparently the Bush administration believes that rigorous science has no place in their faith-based political agenda where there is no room for doubt. Besides, the invasion of Iraq was successfully sold to a credulous American public based solely on groundless allegations. So, if Americans can be brainwashed to put their lives and money on the line without any proof of evidence, who needs science?

Black Man Down and the “Wince” in the Black Woman’s Soul

I met this beautiful man at a popular lounge in the District a few weeks ago. He was “the man,” literally. As the manager of the establishment, he addressed my concerns about the abhorrent customer service my friends and I had just received. Voice like milk and honey, and calm and full of power. Transfixing eyes.  Dred-locked hair for days. Deep mahogany skin that made you just want to carve him out some children in his exact image.  Kind and generous and downright good at his job, he set me and my friends up in VIP for our trouble and bought us a round of drinks.  I had to thank him for his professionalism. His attitude and customer service completely transformed my mood, and my girls and I had such a wonderful time after that initially embarrassing situation.  I got his business card to send him a thank-you (no lie, I really did just want to send him a card. I was not being fast!) and I couldn’t have gotten 3 feet away from him before a petite and scantily clad  *ahem* young woman came and plopped down in his lap, making herself right at home.

She did not look like me.

Instantly, my dreams of the the natural-haired children we would produce (a little boy with dreds, a little girl with two puffs) was quietly shattered. (Yes, I realize that I have sworn off dating, I don’t know this man from Adam, and that its a problem that I envisioned marrying and reproducing with this random bite of chocolate within 5 minutes of knowing him. I’m a work in progress!)

This is what Jill Scott calls, the “wince.” In her latest column in Essence Magazine, she explains “why it hurts” in a way that is so honest, yet responsible that I had to share it with you.  She finds the words that I couldn’t find when I felt this wince some weeks ago:

You know the moment when you realize that fine, accomplished brother is with a White woman? Let’s call it “the wince.”

My new friend is handsome, African-American, intelligent and seemingly wealthy. He is an athlete, loves his momma, and is happily married to a White woman. I admit when I saw his wedding ring, I privately hoped. But something in me just knew he didn’t marry a sister. Although my guess hit the mark, when my friend told me his wife was indeed Caucasian, I felt my spirit…wince. I didn’t immediately understand it. My face read happy for you. My body showed no reaction to my inner pinch, but the sting was there, quiet like a mosquito under a summer dress.

Was I jealous? Did the reality of his relationship somehow diminish his soul’s credibility? The answer is not simple. One could easily dispel the wince as racist or separatist, but that’s not how I was brought up. I was reared in a Jehovah’s Witness household. I was taught that every man should be judged by his deeds and not his color, and I firmly stand where my grandmother left me. African people worldwide are known to be welcoming and open-minded. We share our culture sometimes to our own peril and most of us love the very notion of love. My position is that for women of color, this very common “wince” has solely to do with the African story in America.

When our people were enslaved, “Massa” placed his Caucasian woman on a pedestal. She was spoiled, revered and angelic, while the Black slave woman was overworked, beaten, raped and farmed out like cattle to be mated. She was nothing and neither was our Black man. As slavery died for the greater good of America, and the movement for equality sputtered to life, the White woman was on the cover of every American magazine. She was the dazzling jewel on every movie screen, the glory of every commercial and television show. She was unequivocally the standard of beauty for this country, firmly unattainable to anyone not of her race. We daughters of the dust were seen as ugly, nappy mammies, good for day work and unwanted children, while our men were thought to be thieving, sex-hungry animals with limited brain capacity.

We reflect on this awful past and recall that if a Black man even looked at a White woman, he would have been lynched, beaten, jailed or shot to death. In the midst of this, Black women and Black men struggled together, mourned together, starved together, braved the hoses and vicious police dogs and died untimely on southern back roads together. These harsh truths lead to what we really feel when we see a seemingly together brother with a Caucasian woman and their children. That feeling is betrayed. While we exert efforts to raise our sons and daughters to appreciate themselves and respect others, most of us end up doing this important work alone, with no fathers or like representatives, limited financial support (often court-enforced) and, on top of everything else, an empty bed. It’s frustrating and it hurts!

Our minds do understand that people of all races find genuine love in many places. We dig that the world is full of amazing options. But underneath, there is a bite, no matter the ointment, that has yet to stop burning. Some may find these thoughts to be hurtful. That is not my intent. I’m just sayin’.

I would be hard-pressed to find someone to express it better, and so I’ll leave it at that.

But, in the larger scheme of things, I know that it is silly to wince at that moment of “enlightenment.” And I know that who God has for me is mine and mine alone, and that who God has predestined as mine may not fit into the plan and picture of the perfect family that I’ve dreamed up in my head while I was busy about my own business — and not God’s.  But even being assured and aware of these things, it is still a struggle not to see this as a “black man down” situation, like there is one less for us. I am still naively surprised to find that my dream isn’t everyone else’s dream, too.  With a history –and a present– that is so richly defined by the joint-struggle of the Black man and the Black woman, I am still baffled to find that there are men who do not want to recognize and share this struggle in a way that mirrors this:

To each his own.

Modelling and Control of Thruster Assisted Position Mooring System for a Semi-submersible: Analysis and Model Testing
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, Department of Marine Technology.
2014 (English)MasteroppgaveStudent thesis
Abstract [en]

For harsh weather, nonlinear effects dominate the dynamics to a larger extent than for calm weather. The low frequency dynamics of a moored vessel are excited by second order wave drift forces. To counteract the low-frequency resonant dynamics of the mooring system, proper control methods needs to be derived and carefully applied. For this purpose, several control laws are selected and studied. The control objectives are reduction of fuel consumption, increased redundancy, and higher stationkeeping precision for harsh weather. The control methods studied include reduction of coupled dynamics by implementation of a roll and pitch damping controller, optimal setpoint chasing based on a structural reliability criteron, and a backstepping control law based on the same reliability criterion. These three methods, combined with a nonlinear passive observer, have been studied and proved both stable and robust. Especially, a theoretical six degrees of freedom Lyapunov stability analysis is performed, which renders the combined PID, and roll and pitch damping controller globally asymptotically stable. Stability properties for all considered control methods have been clarified. A simulation model for testing of the different control methods is derived and implemented in Matlab Simulink. The simulation model is based on a typical full scale semi-submersible anchored with mooring cables in a circular anchor configuration. A nonlinear passive observer is implemented and tuned to give satisfactory estimates for all six degrees of freedom. Model tests are performed in the Marine Cybernetics Laboratory at NTNU using the 1:100 model semi-submersible CyberRig I. Model tests are performed for regular and irregular waves, with and without thruster force input.

Alexandra Burke & Beyoncé duet on "Listen"

alexandra Burke Beyonce cheryl cole duet
Alexandra Burke , Beyonce and Cheryl Cole
Alexandra Burkeduets withBeyoncéon the song "Listen". This performance was ultimately what sealed Alexandra's fate as the winner of the X-factor in 2008 and its not surprising considering she held her own against such a formidable singer.

Its amazing to watch this performance two years later and still marvel at how professional Beyoncé was and how easy and effortless she made singing the song look especially considering she arrived from the US that day!

$15M Yosemite improvement would eliminate tram, shop, parking lots

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A grove of ancient giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park is no place for a tram ride, gift shop and asphalt parking lots, say officials who are looking to have them removed.

Park officials on Tuesday released a draft environmental study on the effects of an estimated $15 million worth of improvements at Yosemite's popular Mariposa Grove. The proposal includes getting rid of the tram ride, shop and parking lots — changes designed to restore the habitat for the nearly 500 giant sequoias there.
