Omega-3 and diabetes

Could this be true? I developed Type-1 diabetes very late in life but I grew up in the British West Indies where I had fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day.

“The majority of kids with diabetes autoimmunity will go on to get diabetes, but it could be years before they do,” study author Jill Norris, Ph.D., professor of preventive medicine and biometrics at the University of Colorado in Denver, told Ivanhoe. “You can actually have autoimmunity for a while before you get clinical diabetes.” - via the Diabetes Channel on Ivanhoe

Frugal mans BMW 3

I bought the 2006 Accord EX-L in January 2006 and I love my car. It has a powerful V-6 engine and loads of features. The Accord does not handle as well as my previous car, a Milano Red 1994 Acura Integra but it accelerates as a cheetah and engine growls like a lion. The inside is soft and luxurious.

iWork '08 good enough for the rest of them.

 

I still don’t have a compelling reason for a Word processor, spreadsheet or presentation package so Google Docs is good enough for me.

Look Out, Microsoft Office… « Caitlyn Imburgo: “When you look at just how much value iWork ‘08 provides when compared to Microsoft Office, you then realize just how much of a steal its price is. Apple has priced iWork ‘08 at $79 for a single license of the suite. Educational licenses are $71 and family 5-packs are $99. Compare that to Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, which costs a whopping $400 for a Standard edition and $150 for an educational 5-pack edition. Apple has really priced iWork ‘08 really aggressively, which really helps to tie the knot on a really attractive software package.”
