Adult Diabetes Symptoms - How To Spot Diabetes In Adults

Summary: Adult diabetes, often called adult-onset diabetes, is a growing problem in the Western world. As obesity increases, more and more adults are developing diabetes. Quick diagnosis of diabetes is the best way to avoid complications, so here are some signs to watch out for.

My wife decided that this was an opportunity to upgrade our washer/dryer combo. Perhaps she was influenced by LG’s clever appliance commercials, because what we ended up getting was a front-loading LG washer and dryer combo in candy apple red, pictured here to the left. She’d had her eye on them for a while, actually, but couldn’t justify their purchase while the existing machines were still working.

I can’t say I find laundry machines too exciting, but my wife’s been very pleased with the new machines. She is very finnicky about her laundry and a front-loading washer (which is supposed to be gentler on clothes) was a welcome addition to our set of appliances.

What do I like the best about these machines? The timer! Both the washer and the dryer have an LED display that shows you exactly how many minutes are left to complete the current operation. You don’t have to listen for the buzzer or wonder when the wash/dry will be done, you just check the current time when you start and that’s all you need to know. A small thing, perhaps, but a great feature in my mind.

Speaking of hitting perfectly good appliances with a train, I was going to donate the washer to a worthy cause, so I left it out at the end of my driveway for them to pick up… don’t you know it but some fool drunk driver (OK, that’s a guess) actually went and turned it to scrap metal by plowing into it with their car. This is the winter for accidents, it seems, a few weeks before that someone hit some black ice and fishtailed into our wooden fence. Again. Sigh.

Anyhow, the LG front-loading washer works well and looks great.

Requirements

Self-hosted WordPress 2.0 or higher. You don’t actually need to be displaying AdSense ads, the privacy policy is generic enough to be used with most sites. If you collect any kind of personal information via a squeeze page, however, you’ll have to wait for an update to the plugin to handle those situations.

Installation

Installation is simple, as with most WordPress plugins. Download the privacy-policy-1.0.zip file and extract its contents into your blog’s wp-content/plugins folder. This will create a new privacy-policy subfolder containing the plugin. (The plugin doesn’t actually need to be in its own subfolder, but it’s recommended you place it there.) Go to the Plugins tab in your WordPress administration console and activate the plugin.

Usage

Once the plugin has been activated, go to the Options tag and click on Privacy Policy. Reasonable defaults will be selected for the privacy policy, but change them as appropriate and press the Update Options button to store the new settings.

Now create the privacy policy page for your site. The easiest way to do this is to press the Create Page button at the bottom of the options page. This creates a static page with the given title and slug (path) that displays a privacy policy based on the current settings.

Alternatively, you can simply insert a privacy policy onto an existing page using the special trigger text:

    <!-- privacy-policy -->

anywhere on the page. When the page is displayed, the trigger is replaced with the current privacy policy.

That’s it! Short and simple.

Future Plans

If there’s enough interest, I will add features to this plugin such as:

• Support for different privacy policies (perhaps based on locale?)
• Multi-lingual support
• Squeeze pages
• More configurability

Just leave a comment here and we can discuss it.

But in this blog I’ve decided to expose my Canadian roots. You can tell so from the first post, which is in the Humour category and not the Humor category.

Now those of you without any Canadian friends might be wondering what makes Canadian English different from American English? If you think Canadian English is the same as British English, you’re wrong. Neither is it the same as American English. It borrows from both variants and introduces its own unique Canadianisms as well.

Rather than try to list the differences here, I’ll just refer you to Cornerstone’s Canadian English Page, a wonderful article that explains how Canadian English is different.

So when you see me use words like colour and cheque, please don’t write to tell me I’ve misspelled them. At least not on this blog, eh?

1. Better sleep. When the baby cries in the middle of the night, your geek can handle it. He’s already up coding or playing some unfathomable video game anyhow!
2. Free clothes. When your geek’s clothes get all tattered, send him to a conference to pick up a pile of new t-shirts. Spend the money you save to update your own wardrobe!
3. 24/7 technical support. When Microsoft Word crashes on you again, you know exactly who to call! It doesn’t matter if he works for Microsoft or not, he’ll know just what to do!
4. High-definition television. Sure, it’s complicated, but your geek can handle it. So what if there are five remotes? He’ll change the channels for you!
5. Wealth potential. That “web two-oh” thingee he’s working on in his spare time might take off. You could be rich!

P.S.: Ladies, let me let you in on a little secret… you don’t actually have to marry a geek to get these benefits… Just provide regular (rest of post deleted)
