I wrote a lot of innovative tools there. My friends that hung around a little longer then I did mentioned that the remote India team doesn't innovate anything. If there's a problem, they don't fix it, they must wait until IBM, Oracle, or Redhat comes up with a fix. HAHA!

I knew Nintendo was on to something when they offered free online gaming for the nintendo DS. the new console is going to take that further. Sony is getting greedy closing down great shops like lik-sang. Forcing DRM down our throats. Good for nintendo!
get the word out, no more sony products! don't buy the PS3, spread the word! Sony DVD players are not what they used to be anyway. My sony dvd player died when it was not even 1 year old. No more! I bought a cheapo from radio shack and it's been working fine for 4 years now. No more SONY. No More SONY. Lik Sang was a cool company. I hope tehy bounce back from this and start something else up.
Wrong. The Viking mission detected microbial life. I was a 12 year old paper boy at the time. I remember, this made front page headline news. The Viking mission detected microbial life. The following day it was retracted. I kind of believed that the retraction was false. I always did. Perhaps manipulation from the right wing of our government thinking that we were not ready for the information. hey , if microbes can survive deep in the permafrost in the Antartic, then hey, microbes can survive on mars deep in the martian soil.
As far as advanced life, well think about how many stars there are, followed by how many solar systems, and the expanse of the universe, heck... an alien life form may be so far out there that we'd never make contact, but heck, it's possible that there's life out there.
My glucose measureing records prove that the metformin/chrmomium picolinate is working better for me than straing 100mg of metformin a day. the first day I took chrmium picolinate I was 50 points lower. Now my bg is flatter and less high spikes. No more swings from 180 to 110! now it's pretty much 90-150. Much better, and it's after the chromium picolinate.
I'm getting more info together. next month I'm going to aff 2000mg/day of cinnamon.
Once the A1C is down to 6.9 I am going to drop metformin and see where I stabilize. if the bg is around 80-140 I will drop metformin completely. TYPE I is an autoimmune disaease TYPE II is a syndrome. there are many causes. you do not have to be heavy. I am not heavy, I play football, soccer, softball. Ride bikes, air hockey... etc.
Nope. type II has been linked to genetics too. My grandfather, my mother, now me. But hey... it's under control. I'm hoping to drop the A1c down from 7.2 to 6.9, get off the metformin, and keep taking lots of chromium picolinate at breakfast and supper time. So far it has had a major effect on me. So I believe the chromium depletion research done at several medical universites.
This means the endocrine system has to work well. Look it up. we have a finite number of beta cells. If you have type II diabetes, you burn more off the beta cells than most if untreated or on avandia. That's how you have type II with type I symptoms. read up on the pancreas and beta cells.... It is a finite supply designed to outlast us. But if you need more insulin than most, you run out of beta cells and have to inject insulin. I'm not making this up. It's a major problem.
This reads like utter jibbersish. We all know the bird flu is going to wipe out 33% of the worlds population. Mostly in Asia and India. Then there's going to be a world war, we go into a deep nuclear winter, humans mutate and either live underground and worship the last remaining nuclear doomsday device, or live above ground like animals while apes evolve as the superior species. then some dude is going to travel in time from the 70's and piss the undeground dwellers off and totally anhilliate the world. THE END.
I'm going to try this! I'm on metformin and I am taking (thanks to the net) 1000mg/day of chromium picolinate. My HBA1C is now 7.2! 3 weeks of chmium picolinate and 6 months of 100mg/day metformin. I'm going to add the cinnimon! I would love to dump the metformin. Once I am down to 6.9 I will tell the Dr. "No more metformin for me!"
I wol d never take stuff like this drug mentioned. It sounds similar to a combo of metformin and avandia. Avandia stimulates your pancrease to produce more insulin. Good old high school bioligy teaches you have a finite number of beta cells. When you use beta cells they eventually die. So each beta cell is capable of x amount of insulin. So eventually you end up on insulin.
I think attacking the problem with chromium supplements and cinnamon is more direct. At least if the docs on the internet have been correct.
Note: I read that up to 5000mg/day of chromium picolinate is ok, over that you can run into problems. 1000mg/day for type II is recommended, under that you may not see results.
You know what helps attack the cause of type II diabetes? large doeses of chromium picolinate with your meals! I am taking 500mg in the morning and 500mg with supper. My hba1c is now normal, I asked my Dr. if I can stop taking metformin (100mg/day)... he said in 6 months if I continue with my hba1c as normal I can cut it.
I read on the net at some medical college that chromium is a key trace element required for the receptor/insulin connection.
I would not want to take this. It's tricking your beta cells to produce more insulin. Beta cells die off after so many tries at insulin production. beta cells are not regenerative. Everyone has thier x number of beta cells. it sounds like you get the same results if you take metformin and avandia together..which I will not do. Beta cell depletion will just lead to type I symtoms and you will need to be on insulin. Here's what I do. I take 100mg of metformin a day along with 1000mg of chromium picolinate. My hba1c number is now normal! I am hoping to wean off metformin and just take the chroimium picolinate for a while, eventually no chromium picolinate either. And I measure my glucose now even though it's pretty flat and normal now.
This drug that's mentioned is only going to lead to injecting insulin later in life.
take 1000mg of Chromium picolinate, 500mg in the morning, 500mg at night. Test your blood and be amazed! I agree.. this drug, all it is doing is accelerating your depletion of Beta cells. beta cells are not regenerated. Everyone has x number of beta cells. They die off after they produce x amount of insulin. That's why type I diabetics have to take insulin, it's usually an autoimmune destruction of the beta cells. But in Type II, the pancrease tries to keep adequae insulin production, and in doing so the pancrease produces more insulin and more beta cells die at a faster rate. Drugs like avandia cause th pancrease to secrete even more insulin, cause the pancreas to use even more beta cells, eventually your beta cells are gone and you have type I symptoms needing to inject insulin. This new drug sounds like a comination of metformin and avandia to me. I prefer to take my 1000mg of chromium picolinate. My A1c is normal now.
These are the idiots teaching the generation of kids growing up? Gee.. give me a break! Every kid deserved the right to play tag. My kids were playing hide and seek the other day, except now kids call it "Manhunt". How about Whip! Have you ever played a good old neighborhood game of Whip when you were little? That's when you get 10 or more players on each side, hold hands and put together a gauntlet, run into each others opposing teams and knock each other down. That's a game for 6 year olds... it evolved into a rushing game, no hand holding, just run into each other's opposing team in a tight formation and knock everyone down. That evolved into a game we called "Last Man Standing". Hey.. I still have all my teeth. what I'm getting at is tag is nothing. next thing you know the kiddies won't be able to play "Duck, Duck, Duck, Duck, Goose!"
I only had to stop my 14, 17, and 20 year old sons to stop one game , it was dodgeball, with a 5lb medicine ball! It was my 14 year olds idea.

absolutely correct! My oldest son has somewhat of a "photographic" memory. It helps for memorization only. Analytical questions... well it helps to remember formulas, and historic data, but you still need your analytic abilities. IQ is more closely related to that.
Big deal. Way back when I was in Elementry school my IQ was rated at 141. The school wanted me to take an enrichment cource, it's an accelerated class. My parents did not want me to. So.. I built a really cool kick ass firecracker cannon in machine shop, got busted, Desined a 6' Vandegraff generator that would toast calulators and radios ( we are talking 1977 here). And a kick ass potato cannon before they were common. I was never in perfect shape, not extremely heavy, heck I just had more fun designing and building gadgets. One of my crazy gadgets I designed and built when i was 14 years old was a bicycle with a chain saw engine. I designed a spring loaded hinged mount that had a nurled roller on the end of the drive. When I pulled in the "cluth" the roller will rise up above the rear wheel, when I let it out the nurled roller will strike the wheel. This way the bike could function as a bicycle and also as a motorized bike. This was no moped, this bike was capable of hitting 45mph. It waws so cool that friends paid me to build up thier bikes.
I bet if you ask crawford now she won't know a proton from a mole. And if she was good, why isn't she in chemistry now?

According to the reports, the Sturgeon dude looks like a prime candidate. It appears that Sturgeon drugged his wife and raped her. And.. it sounds worse. Possibly she's still alive in some make shift dungeon somewhere. the Sturgeon dude sounds sadistic. I agree, cops will automatically assume the husband is guilty. Possibly he's arrested for his own protection, maybe they are putting a case against Sturgeon. The more I read about this the more I believe Sturgeon is the prime suspect, at least I hope Hans didn't loose it.
Maybe Nina's family can get the Russian Mafia to shake down Sturgeon. At least that's what I would do in this situation. Sturgeon appears to be a sick bastard to begin with. Hans refused to pay his business loan with him because of this. I highly doubt Nina wanted to takeup with this Sturgeon loser just to get back at Hans.
Well, due to the Patriot Act I am sure Sturgeon's phones will be tapped.
