Does anyone know any recipes for a sugar high level pregnant?

Saturday, June 28th, 2008


i went to the doctor and my sugar level is 167.quite higher than normal.im in my 27th week of pregnancy.im a bit nervous about the outcome if i wont be able to lower my sugar level.need help of what exactly to eat

 

More like what you shouldn’t eat. Stay away from lots of carbohydates, like potatoes, breads, pastas, candies, sodas that are not diet, juices, and the like. Or at least have them in small amounts.

Are you taking metformin? If so, then just eating properly will bring it down on its own.

Foods that may help you include green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, cabbage) and low fat protein (fish, skinless chicken, turkey). There is also a grain called quinoa which is low in sugar and is a complete protein alternative to soy, in case you can’t tolerate soy.

What plants should be put in a Rockery?

Friday, June 27th, 2008


Alyssum, Hens and chicks, Thymus, and Veronica is what I have in my rockery ……. = )

—–

If you’re talking alpine type rockery, then sedums of all sorts, snow in summer, dianthus, yarrow, columbine, alyssum, arabis, sandwort, hardy geranium, phlox, flax, forget-me-nots, candytuft, plumbago, veronica, potentilla and more. If the rockery is more desert type, then add all sorts of cactus, agave, aloe. It really depends on how dry your climate is, how much moisture and cold it gets in the winter, and how acidic your soil or gravel is. Many will survive if you plant them almost sidewise–so the roots don’t sit in water in the wintertime.

try this site it has lots of rockery plants enjoy :)

Hens and chicks. They multiply and take little care.

Limited or no connectivity?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008


I have two laptop pc’s running windows home sr2.
a. Toshiba with internal wireless card b
b. Toshiba with Linksys g wireless card

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router connected by phone line to dsl. Software is up to dat.

Rourter is set for broadcast ssid no
PC mac address set up for only these two pcs

When I use wep encryption, I get the message limited or no connectivity. When I turn off the encryption, all is fine.

I am looking to add the additional layer of security by adding encrytion. Any suggestion?

 

FYI-I did call Linksys and here is what they had me do to get it working.
1. Security Mode: WEP
Default Transmit Key: x 1 2 3 4
WEP Encryption: 64 bits 10 hex
Passphrase: LEAVE BLANK
Key 1: enter code here *
Key 2: blank
Key 3: blank
Key 4: blank
*MUST BE lenghth of 10.
only letters a-f or numbers 0-9
any combination of letters and
numbers
And it does work. Need to go to network connection properies (rt click)
wireless tab
hightlight connection, than properties, than you can enter the wep key in for automated sign on.

 

 

 

I had the same prob i called the maker of the wireless router he gave me all kind of bull grap to do before it worked . They were pretty helpfull . Iwish they were plug and play

……….

Check to make sure your entering your WEP correctly. It will let you conect but if your wep is wrong you will get that error. If your not sure if your entering it wrong because they satr it out just copy and paste your WEP from a notepad document.

Major Midwest Farm Shows?

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008


What are the major midwest farm shows where exhibitors display new farming equipment?

 

All major agriculture states have a state fair where new equipment and ideas can be displayed. That would get you some good coverage. Most have major agriculture equipment shows as well. I would suggest you contact the State Extension Service and/or the State Farm Bureau to get the details of these.

Is this a new car?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

I’ve never in my life seen this car ANYWHERE.
Has anyone seen this car before?
It’s a new car…am I right?

http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity…

There are only 5 in the US. They are all in southern California where they have refueling stations. The hydrogen infrastructure is not in place to go nation wide. Give it a few years and it may be available. If different technologies don’t make to obsolete. Right now it’s on a 3 year lease program for $600 a month.

Dallas DWI Attorneys

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

You can be charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) if you are in control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemicals, or controlled substances to the extent that your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit. DWI and similar offenses are regarded as criminal law matters which could possibly result in felony conviction with a prison sentence. This is why you need to contact a Dallas DWI lawyer as soon as you are facing charges.

A professional DWI attorney will carefully review your case for defects. This can include a review of the calibration and maintenance records for breath machines, and having blood samples independently analyzed. They can negotiate for a lesser charge or reduced sentence and find expert witnesses for the trial. Your lawyer will also cover many things that an individual may overlook. A skilled lawyer can debate if the blood technician received adequate training, or if laboratory staff handled urine samples properly. Because the prosecution relies heavily on the results of breath, blood and urine tests, any discrepancy in the execution of these tests can bring them into question. For quality legal representation, contact one of the finest Dallas DWI attorneys today.

Tax Services are Available for Free

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Tax Services are available to those in need of assistance in the preparation and filing of their tax returns. Many of these services are actually available for free.

Free Services from the IRS

The IRS can be contacted either by phone, through their website or at their local offices. Materials and information are readily made available for free to taxpayers in need of clarifications or guidelines.

In addition, since the implementation of the Free File Program, federal returns and tax returns in certain states can easily be filed online. The IRS website has a list of affiliated companies included in the Free Program, and the taxpayer can avail of their services. Do take note that if you are not considered eligible to avail of the Free File program, companies usually charge a fee.

Taxpayer Assistance Centers

A more personalized approach is provided by taxpayer assistance centers. Should you wish to consult with a person instead of going on line or listening to pre-recorded voice messages, professionals in the TACs are available to render assistance in the preparation of your income tax returns and to answer any other questions you might have.

Community Volunteer Resources

Programs such as the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly, in cooperation with the IRS, offer free tax preparation services in various communities. These services are available to taxpayers with low to moderate income.

What would be the best guidelines to choose a martial art?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I have made some basic research about martial arts, I know I am more interested in Japanese martial arts, although I try to keep an open mind.
I am mainly interested in acquiring: a good discipline/ character, self-defense skills and “young-forever” fitness that a martial art can offer. My main limitation is: lower back pain.

 

Most Japanese Martial arts, done RIGHT, will accomplish most or all of your goals. To figure out whether they will be done right, you have to talk to the instructor.

I wasted three years in a Karate dojo, where the instructor had an agenda, and that was to develop semi-pro kick boxers. Ultimately, as it became obvious that I wasn’t going to be a kick boxer, the instructor promoted me to black belt and had me teach the defensive techniques, so that he could concentrate on his fighters. Looking back, I think that the only thing I learned was how to learn Karate.

I was lucky. My next school concentrated on self defense, and traditional teaching, and developing the students along the lines you mentioned. But I didn’t even go in for their free intruductory class until I had talked with the instructor about what his priorities were. I have remained in the school for 15 years.

Send a side message and tell me where you live. Our national organization may have a school near you.

Japanese Karate and JuJitsu Systems located in Bay Shore New York is rated excellently both by students and parents. Kioshi R. Reinhimer is 8 degrees black, teaches all his classes himself and blends the 35+ years of experience to teach his students. It is a small, very disciplined school and the black belts he turns out are every ounce entitled to call themselves black belts. He teaches Professor Dillman’s pressure point system as well as kata, weapons and self-defense. Character Ed and strict guidelines are also part of his program. His black belts also attend Ivy League schools….

It is a ONE of a KIND school…..hope you live on Long Island!

The main Japanese arts are…
- Karate
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate
- Aikiod
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido
- Judo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo
- JuJitsu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujitsu
- Kendo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendo

If you have back troubles then I would suggest staying away from any art that involves ground work (Jujitsu) or throws (Aikido, Judo).
Kendo is an old art that is basicly sword fighting but it sounds like you’re looking for a hands on art.
That leads us to Karate. Karate has basic stances that help to strengthen the upper legs and (some) of the lower back. Posture and deep stances will be good for you. There is some kicking but mostly blocking/avoiding and punching. I have trained people in their 70’s and kids that are 5. I train with overweight, skinny, tall, short, slow, passive, agressive, etc.
Go and find a Dojo and watch some classes. Talk to the instructor about your back.
Have Fun.

P.S. You may look into Tai-Chi also

10+ years of training and teaching Karate
