DulwichFox replied to Minitoots's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Yes.. Have seen a few Bees outside.. Think they may be a bit confused with the warm spell we had a week or so ago. DulwichFox -
Dear Forum Members.. We Did It I have just received this important news from The League Against Cruel Sports I?m writing to you with some fantastic news. Thanks to all our collective efforts, we have seen off the planned back door attack on the Hunting Act. This news unfolded today during Prime Ministers Questions, when David Cameron was forced to admit that a proposal was indeed being considered, but that he regretted that it wouldn?t get support from both sides of the Coalition. This means an amendment has no chance of proceeding as things stand. We have won the battle, but know full well that the war is not yet won. We need David Cameron to state categorically that he either: accepts the Hunting Act is an important and successful piece of legislation, and removes the promise of full repeal, OR that he will try to dismantle it in an open and transparent way by holding a repeal vote. We know, as does he, that he will not win this ? and that the majority of the British public, and MPs, would not support a return to cruelty. Rest assured, after 90 years of campaigning to both bring about and enforce a ban on hunting with hounds for sport, we remain ever vigilant in defence of the Act. For now though the foxes, hares, deer and more that the legislation protects remain safe from the full horrors of traditional hunting. Our campaigns of course focus on more than just hunting, as unfortunately there are many ways people chose to abuse animals for entertainment. And the badger cull issue is about to hit the headlines again, so please do ensure you look out for our emails, and do all you can to support our campaigns. Thank you once again for all you do for animals. Together we have made a real difference. With very best wishes Joe Duckworth Chief Executive League Against Cruel Sports Thanks to all who campaigned to make this possible. DulwichFox

Hi PokerTime.. I was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes Feb. 2011. I was Horrified at it led to serious depression. Newly diagnosed people are offered 2 Sessions at Desmonds, a diabetic seminar at Dulwich Hospital. There we were all told that Type-2 Diabetes was NOT reversible.. I did some research and found there were websites that claimed Type-2 Diabetes could be reversed. But most of these were quack send me $100's and I will tell you how sites. However further research indicated that following a VERY low carb diet for 3 months could effectively reverse diabetes. This initially was not recommended by Diabetes UK. It was virtually a starvation diet. and I lost a lot of weight. This did keep my blood sugar in control. But then I injured my back and was on pain killers for 3 months that gage me Severe constipation. I literally did not go for 10 days at a time. I could not eat as I was Full. This involuntary starvation led to my diabetes being reversed. My 6 monthly/yearly HBa1c (a test that gives your average reading over the last 3 months was 5.6mmol/L and has remained at that level for the last 2.5 years. I have been re-coded as Non-diabetic. I can/do eat most thing, but I am careful as I do not wish to become diabetic again. I did all this by diet alone (No medication) Type - 2 Diabetes CAN be reversed an Diabetes UK now recognise this.

Water Melon.. The GI Glycemic Index is not the best way to measure affect on Blood Sugar Better to use GL the Glycemic Load. Watermelon (GI 72; GL 4): This delicious summer fruit may at first look like a high-glycemic food with its glycemic index of 72, but it actually has a very low-glycemic load. Why? Because it's made up of a lot of water, hence the name. Watermelon is also loaded in antioxidants with high levels of both vitamin C and vitamin A. It also contains lycopene, which is shown to be helpful for heart health. GI:- Low Intermediate High 55 or less 55 to 70 70 or higher GL:- Low Intermediate High 10 or less 11 to 19 20 or higher Want to calculate the glycemic load of instant white rice instead? Well, a portion size of around 2/3 cup of white rice has about 36 grams of available carbohydrates and a glycemic index of 72. Here's the math: 72 x 36 = 2,592 / 100 = 26 glycemic load So just a small amount of white rice will send your blood sugars through the roof. People often say. 'Eat a Chinese meal and 30 mins later you hungry again' Well that is why.. High GI/GL Chinese food will give you a fast rush of Blood Sugar followed by a rapid crash. So you feel hungry again, so you eat more food and you put on weight. If you keep eating high GI food. and keep snacking in between, your Pancreas cannot cope and you develop Type - 2 Diabetes. Foxy

Not Really.. Taurine is found in high concentrations in muscle, brain, heart and blood. A person weighing 70 kg has approximately 70 g of taurine distributed throughout their body. Put another way, a 70 kg person naturally already has in his body 70 times the amount of taurine contained in one can of Red Bull Energy Drink.

Caffeine can be a big problem. It reduces the bodies ability to process Blood Sugar. It also reduces insulin sensitivity / increases insulin resistance. It is a Mental Stimulant and is highly addictive. Mixed with alcohol(Jaeger Bombs) it provides a short burst of energy and makes people think they can dance and fight everyone. (Kicks Bar Stool Over. Raises hands and shouts. YEEEEEESSSSSSS) Foxy :)

I am type-2 diabetic... Sugar is NOT the biggest problem... Hi Glycemic Index food is the problem.. Food like White Bread, Short Grain Rice, Potatoes. Brown Whole meal Bread is no better. White Bread GI:- 70+ Wholemeal GI:- 69 whilst Sugar GI:-65 A Crumpet contains 20+ Carbs. that is equivalent to 7 Sugar cubes. and is medium GI. Potatoes have a GI of 80+ this means your blood glucose will spike. This causes your Pancreas to go into overload to produce insulin to compensate. This causes nerves to be damaged especially in your extremities like toes and also in your eyes. This is called Insulin Resistance where the Carbs converted to glucose cannot reach the muscles and stays in your blood. This is then Type-2 Diabetes. You should eat slow release carbs like grains and seeds, nuts. Avoid cereals at breakfast. They are ALL high GI with the exception of Porridge Oats and Albran. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions. DulwichFox

The Mouse-Pad can be disabled from the Keyboard. Common combination is Function Key Fn + F9 or Fn + F3 Toggling these combos with enable/disable the mouse-pad DulwichFox. -
Just for clarification... I did not start this thread as a Topic of Discussion.... I started this thread solely for Information so those people who abhor Fox Hunting can lobby their MP on the matter. Feel free to discus, but I will not be getting involved in any discussion on the subject. Everyone knows my views. PS.. How can a Thread on The Hunting Act be turned in to a thread on Abortion.. They are not related. Please start your own thread. DulwichFox

Big Thank you for all your support. Much appreciated.. DulwichFox.

Dear Forum Members.. The Government is attempting to bring back hunting by the back door ? YOU can help us stop the threat. Please contact your MP today and urge them to vote against this devious attempt to bring back cruelty. contact your MP today In 2004, the Hunting Act was passed which made hunting with dogs for sport illegal in England and Wales. Ever since then those that have wanted to keep hunting have campaigned for a repeal, or overturn, of the ban. http://www.league.org.uk/our-campaigns/hunting/hunting-campaign-update If you care about our Wildlife.. Please take a few minutes to contact your MP . There is a simple form for your details and pre written template will be sent to your local MP. You are just 2 clicks away from helping to keep this barbaric pastime Banned. This is URGENT. you have to the 26th March DulwichFox.

Who needs Kew P Rye Park Lovely at weekend!
DulwichFox replied to the-e-dealer's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Was in the Park Yesterday.. and it was Lovely.... But then I was in good company.. and that did help. Foxy. -
The overall production looks Good. Though I have only seen it from my car. I have no understanding of any relevance to the local area if there is any. I do not much appreciate the addition of the 'Wings' and others have expressed similar views Do not think they add anything to the piece. But them I'm only a Fox. DulwichFox.

I would think that an aircraft of that size would require a substantial runway to be able to land. I do not believe therefore the aircraft could of landed 'undetected' If it had landed at an established airport, someone would of known about it. DulwichFox.
