lol i get iphones have "less bugs" but that is mostly do to people not sure how to use there phones and the apps on them. so really it isnt the phones fault. Both operating systems have their flaws, if you argued that you really shouldnt have an opinion. but in the case of this phone, not many upgrades from the one before to be honest. But if you have to wait a whole year before you get the ...

Re: Proof Sprint is going LTE
So this should be in rumor mill because its true? but yea seems like all the carriers realized that LTE beats other 4g networks. The thing id like to know is if T-Mobile will be switching as well because they seem to only be set on improving their HSPA speeds.
Re: nudephones
people have upgrade fees? lol thats the most shocking of all!
hdmi MHL vs regular hdmi vs DNLA
What are all the differences? MHL you can only watch multi-media files vs hdmi where you can see everything that you do on your phone, on a hdmi screen? As for DNLA i personally havent seen a tv with this feature, is it still something too new?
Re: Excuse me?
its ignorance like yours irishcarbomb that makes me dislike other carriers. do you research, theres no extra fees AT ALL! simply have enough beleif points(which you get for just being in service,tool).

i would choose the thunderbolt one reason being is do you REALLY need a dual core proccessor that will consume your battery even more so now? i know they put in a nice big battery but if youve read reveiws on the life its not good. the thunderbolt has a nice proccessor and a great amount of ram to go with it. the kickstand on the bionic is a nice feature as well. its true the bionic has a ...

why is everything compared to the iphone? i get that they did jumpstart the base for what was to come but with the customizability of android vs ios seems in favor of the android..and who doesnt like making something theirs? there seem to be lots of andriod based phones out there as opposed to the same ol' ios 1,2,3,4 phones with the same old same old...people i think (in my opinion) buy something for the name which is kinda ...

Re: *yawn*
so when you say "exact opposite" do you mean you think they are number one or just generally saying? while it is important to look at the service in your area i bet that there is one other carrier who is probably the same if not better. i just beleive that overall is the thing that matters most especially when you do travel outside your city.
Re: Funny name.
s. barrington is another...his liscence even says s is his first name :paranoid:
Re: do your research
i just think its funny no one else has said why are we fighting over these two carriers? no but i think black beard is correct check your area first but theyres always competetive plans between carriers just depends if you want cheap or quality

sales associates/ customer service
How many other people love getting yelled at because a person thats on a family plan cant sign a 2-year contract due to contract law?
Re: Sprint is the worst cell company
hey man im just saying how hard would it be to offer 2 different buyout fees? a click or two? seems like they REALLY care about customers and how much they spend because everyone is so wealthy these days...and theyre good things about sprint in moderation...

how many nationwide coverage companies are out there? cuz last time i checked being number 5 isnt something to be proud of BUT hey yea $325 sounds reasonable...compared to other carriers that might only charge $150
Re: Sprint is the worst cell company
whos number one in customer care? and and why do they have so many dropped calls? and people roam in walmart or local colleges? what if they dont have a national plan they get hit with roaming charges when they arent really roaming? and how do you come to the conclusion of one of the best data networks? are there facts to back this up? no. and the reason why their service is cheaper because of its lesser quality ...

ATHENA® INTERNATIONAL HISTORYSupporting, Developing and Honoring Women Leaders
What is honored in a country will be cultivated there
Founded in 1982 by Martha Mayhood Mertz, ATHENA® International is a non-profit organization that seeks to support, develop and honor women leaders. The program inspires women to reach their full potential and strives to create balance in leadership worldwide. Mertz developed her vision for ATHENA® International while serving on the Board of Directors of the Lansing Michigan Regional Chamber of Commerce. As the only woman on the Board, she quickly recognized that the Chamber's boardroom did not reflect the reality of the business community.
The more Mertz observed, the more she became convinced: If women's strengths and contributions as leaders were publicly acknowledged, they could no longer be dismissed. In 1982 in Lansing, Michigan, Mertz spearheaded a new leadership award program: The ATHENA® Award, named for the strong, enlightened goddess. The award would go to individuals who excelled in their professions, gave back to their communities and helped raise up other leaders, especially women.
What Mertz conceived more than a quarter-century ago is now a global movement. Since the program's inception, more than 6,000 awards have been presented in over 500 communities in the United States, Canada, China, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
In a recent ATHENA® International Leadership Conference, Martha noted: "Think about Rosa Parks, who from the authenticity of her core, refused once again, to go to the back of the bus. Consider Mother Theresa who expressed her leadership by the touch of her hand, by the healing of her voice, by the power of her presence—always giving hope. These are but two examples, albeit great examples, of women's ways of leading that have changed the world."

By: Bella Papadopoulou.
People come to Itacaré from all over the world, each for various reasons. Yet what each person has in common is the desire to enjoy everything this beautiful coastal Bahian town has to offer.
In the hectic world we live in today, it's hard to stay focused on what is going on around you. Instead we either reminisce about the past or fixate on plans for the future. When vacation time finally arrives, staying in the present becomes even trickier.
"Yoga helps you stay in the present moment, which is the only place where life actually exists"
Renata Segrada Cavalhero, also known as Lua, has been giving yoga classes in Itacaré for over eight years. Her weekly classes at Pousada Ilha Verde´s garden are a big success in town and all are invited to join.
"In the class we practice Hatha Yoga mixed with bits and pieces inspired by Michelin Berry. I don´t like repetition so I try to make each class different." Lua adds.
It is said that a peaceful and natural environment ensures a calm mind. In this case, Itacaré with its rich wilderness, creates an ideal scenery for the practice of Yoga.
"What makes Itacaré a special place for yoga is its amazing nature as well as the warm and comfortable climate. Also, since Itacaré is a famous surf spot, yoga is a good complement for surfing" Lua says.
The classes take place on a circular wooden patio that is surrounded by a big garden with flowers and fruits. Additionally, the lit candles and the smell of incense creates a very "yogic" vibe.In Sanskrit the word Yoga means "union" referring to the bond between the mind and the body that needs to be in balance.
"Through the practice of Yoga we reach a higher level of both well-being and awareness. It's a good moment for us to observe ourselves and accept all sides of our personality" Lua says.
It doesn´t matter if one is a new bee or a master, Lua's practice is open for everyone who wants to experience Yoga in a beautiful and peaceful environment.
Classes are held at Pousada Ilha Verde on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8.30 and 18.00. To participate in a class, simply arrive at the scheduled time. And for private classes, feel free to contact Lua directly at +55 73 9133-9702.

This is the second article in a two-part series looking at the effects of light during cutting propagation. While the first article focused on the effects of daily light integral (DLI) during propagation of rooted cuttings, this article will focus on finished plants. We wanted to see how DLI during propagation affected growth and flowering after transplant, as well as identify how the DLI during propagation interacted with the DLI during finishing to influence crop timing and quality.
Study 1: Lighting During Propagation
Cuttings of Angelonia 'AngelFace White,' Nemesia 'Aromatica Royal,' Osteospermum 'Voltage Yellow,' and Verbena 'Aztec Violet' were stuck in 105-cell trays and placed in a propagation greenhouse with an air and substrate temperature set point of 73°F and the average DLI was maintained at about 5 mol•m¯²•d¯¹. After seven days, cuttings were placed under a range of DLIs, from 1.2 to 12.3 mol•m¯²•d¯¹, achieved using supplemental light from high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps and no shade or shade cloth providing 31 percent, 68 percent or 86 percent shade.
In order to identify any residual effects of propagation DLI on subsequent growth and development during finishing, cuttings from the various propagation DLI treatments were transplanted and grown in a common environment.
Two weeks after cuttings were placed under the propagation DLI treatments, cuttings were transplanted into 4.5-inch containers filled with a commercial soilless substrate. Plants were grown in a greenhouse with an air temperature set point of 70ºF and an average DLI of about 12 mol•m¯²•d¯¹ and fertilized with 200 ppm N from a balanced fertilizer at each watering. When the first flower opened on a plant, we collected data including time to flower from transplant, flower bud and branch number, plant height and shoot dry weight.
Study 2: Lighting During Propagation And Finish
In a separate study, cuttings of Angelonia 'AngelMist White Cloud,' Nemesia 'Aromatica Royal,' Osteospermum 'Voltage Yellow,' and Verbena 'Aztec Violet' were stuck in 105-cell trays and placed in a propagation greenhouse with an air and substrate temperature set point of 73°F and the average DLI was maintained at about 5 mol•m¯²•d¯¹. After seven days of callusing, cuttings of each species were placed under one of three propagation DLIs, achieved as previously described using different shade cloths and supplemental lighting.
After two weeks under the DLI treatments, cuttings from each propagation DLI were transplanted and placed in a greenhouse under one of three DLI treatments for finishing. The different finishing DLIs were achieved similar to those in the propagation environment — with the use of no shade cloth or varying levels of shade cloth and supplemental light from high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. This resulted in nine unique combinations of propagation and finishing DLI treatments. As with the cuttings study, when the first flower opened on a plant, we collected data including time to flower from transplant, flower bud and branch number, plant height and shoot dry weight.
Summary Of Results:Lighting During Propagation Study
The number of days from transplant to flowering decreased as propagation DLI increased for all four species in this study (Fig. 1). For example, time to flower was reduced by 23 and 19 days for angelonia and osteospermum, respectively, as DLI during propagation increased from 1.2 to 12.3 mol•m¯²•d¯¹. Neither the number of nodes below the first open flower nor flower buds for angelonia, nemesia and verbena were influenced by propagation, indicating that flowers had initiated before propagation began. With the development of cultivars that are less photoperiodic, controlling the flowering of free-flowering cultivars is a new challenge growers are facing.
The DLI during propagation also affected shoot growth, plant height or stem length, and the number of branches at flowering. Shoot dry weight of all species decreased as propagation DLI increased. Similarly, the number of branches for several species decreased with higher DLIs during propagation. As DLI during propagation increased from 1.2 to 12.3 mol•m¯²•d¯¹, plant height of angelonia and osteospermum at flowering decreased by 2.5 and 1.5 inches, respectively, while stem length of verbena was an exception to this trend and was unaffected by DLI. For cuttings propagated under higher DLIs, the reduction in shoot dry weight and branching at flowering may be related to the faster flowering. When plants flower more quickly, there is less time to "bulk up" shoot growth and allow branches to develop.
Summary of Results: Lighting During Propagation And Finish Study
Similar to our first study, the time to flowering for all species decreased as propagation and finishing DLIs increased (Figs. 2 and 3). For example, as propagation DLI increased from 1.5 to 16.8 mol•m¯²•d¯¹ and finishing DLI increased from 4.6 to 17.5 mol•m¯²•d¯¹, the time to flower after transplant for angelonia, nemesia, osteospermum and verbena decreased by 26, 46, 25 and 26 days, respectively. Similarly, both propagation and finishing DLIs influenced flower bud number. The number of flower buds of angelonia, nemesia, osteospermum and verbena increased as both propagation and finishing DLI increased. Generally, though DLIs during both stages influenced the time to flowering and flower bud number, propagation DLI appeared to have a greater influence on time to flower while the finishing DLI had a greater influence on flower bud number.
The DLI during propagation also interacted with finishing DLI to affect the growth of angelonia, nemesia, osteospermum and verbena. While shoot dry mass at flowering for species decreased with propagation DLI, shoot mass increased with finishing DLI. However, the finishing DLI resulted in a greater increase in shoot mass for cuttings propagated under lower DLIs compared to cuttings propagated under higher DLIs. Again, this relationship between shoot mass and propagation and finishing DLIs is most likely related to the time to flower.
Height was influenced differently by propagation and finishing DLI among species. For example, the height of nemesia decreased by nearly 60 percent as both propagation and finishing DLIs increased from 2.0 to 16.8 mol•m¯²•d¯¹ and 2.0 to 17.5 mol•m¯²•d¯¹, respectively. Alternatively, height of angelonia and osteospermum were relatively unaffected by propagation and finishing DLI.
The influence of propagation DLI and finish DLI on branch number varied among species. For example, angelonia propagated and finished under low DLIs averaged no branches, while plants propagated and finished under higher DLIs had 4 branches. While both propagation and finishing DLI influenced branch number, the DLI during finishing had a stronger impact.
Economics Of Supplemental Lighting
Lighting during propagation may save you money by reducing the finishing time for plants and, as in our previous article, we will use Virtual Grower to demonstrate this. Angelonia cuttings propagated under 5 mol•m¯²•d¯¹ will finish in 32 days, while angelonia propagated under 10 mol•m¯²•d¯¹ will finish nine days earlier. The energy costs during finishing for angelonia in a 1-acre glass-glazed greenhouse with a 70°F air temperature in Indianapolis, Ind., in March would be $0.58/ft² and $0.42/ft² for cuttings propagated under 5 and 10 mol•m¯²•d¯¹, respectively. Therefore, lighting during propagation could potentially reduce finishing energy costs by 27 percent.
In addition to potential energy savings, let's take a look at the efficiency of lighting during propagation versus finishing. For a 105-cell tray, there are about 76 cuttings per ft², whereas a square foot of 4-inch pots may have from four plants per ft² (spaced on 6-inch centers) to nine plants per ft² (spaced pot-to-pot). Therefore, a square foot of illuminated bench space in propagation can have from 844 to 1,900 percent more plants under light compared to during finishing! Furthermore, propagation areas are generally a fraction of the total production area for growers who propagate in-house, meaning a lower initial investment to light your propagation area.
The Take-Home Message
Our studies show that DLI during propagation and finishing of bedding plants clearly impacts the growth, timing and quality of finished annuals. However, our studies also demonstrate that DLI during propagation and finishing affect finished plants differently. For example, propagation DLI appears to have a stronger effect on the time to flower, while finishing DLI has a stronger effect on flower bud number and shoot dry weight.
When the energy savings during finishing and of lighting propagation space are taken together, using supplemental light may be considered a "low-hanging fruit" when looking at ways to reduce crop time and increase finished plant quality. Growers will need to evaluate their goals and priorities when making management decisions related to investing in supplemental lighting.

Solar Panels at Home
Having to deal with brownouts and blackouts is never very much fun, especially if they happen a lot where you reside. There is a way to ensure that you're never without power again. How is that possible you wonder? The answer is by having a solar panels home energy system put into your home. If you have one in place, along with a battery back-up system, you'll never have to deal with not having power again.
Not quite sure what a solar panels home energy system is? Well, if you guessed that it has something to do with the sun, you're right given that it's a system that utilizes the rays of the sun to yield electricity, which can in turn power things in and around your residence.
A solar panels home energy system has a grid like appearance where the solar panels themselves sit in a frame that is generally made out of some sort of sturdy metal including steel or aluminum. The panels are a series of photovoltaic cells and are made from a conductive material that attracts the sun like silicone. Most times, the solar panels are covered in glass or plastic to protect them from the elements so they do not get damaged if there is bad weather. This really is a key component with a solar panels home energy system given that if it gets damaged, then you won't be able to use it.
All of the panels in a solar panels home energy system are connected with electrical wiring that is paired down to one single wire. This wire is then be hooked to an AC/DC converter to power that you can use. The nice thing about a system of this nature is that it is very versatile and you can use the energy immediately if you like or you can actually send the energy to a back-up battery system where it can be stored.
By having a solar panels home energy system in place along with a back-up battery system, you can ensure that you're never without power if you frequently have to deal with brownouts and blackouts where you live. Just imagine, you don't have to worry about things spoiling in the refrigerator or not being comfortable because you don't have air conditioning. It would be pretty nice, right?
Plus, you can also save money on your electricity bill with a solar panels home energy system since you can use the energy produced by the solar panels to supplement what you get from the electrical company. Tax rebates are also available from the government to help with the purchase and install of the system.
When all is said and done, a solar panels home energy system will allow you to never be without power again. To learn how you can get one, jump on the Internet and do some research to start the buying process. When you finally have yours solar panels home energy system in place, you'll wonder why you didn't get it sooner because of the energy benefits that hit has to offer.

Exploring all I can do on the go. Getting starting editing the blog, quick and easy entering and editing on my mobile – great. Now I feel like I'm a 20th Century man!
Also, I am just back from a 7km walk and having a good, good about what to want to achieve in 2018. I know I want to write books, finish what I have started and start all that is coming fresh.
I get the so many ideas and often the whole book concept develops there and then, but I have so little time to write them and check them. It is time to start working smarter.

Chinese Food Recipes
The most common image most people have when thinking of "asian food" is Chinese food. This gigantic nation dominates the continent geographically and some would argue culturally and economically. In the culinary world the influence of China is certainly evident but the nation is by no means dominant. This enormous nation is famous for a diverse range of cuisine from Kung Po Chicken to Peking Duck through to the famed chicken's feet. See our Chinese recipes below:

Form VI – Niman
"For superior balance, use the Niman Form. This Form has no specific strengths, but no weaknesses, either."
"For superior balance, use the Niman Form. This Form has no specific strengths, but no weaknesses, either."
"For superior balance, use the Niman Form. This Form has no specific strengths, but no weaknesses, either."
Form VI, also known as Niman, The Moderation Form and the Diplomat's Form, was a hybrid martial art created by effectively combining the elements of the previous five lightsaber forms into a generalized style. Niman balances out the specializations of each of the prior forms, learning many of their basic technques, but focusing primarily on balance. As a result, this form lacked any significant advantage, but lacked the drawbacks of the prior forms – its practitioners were almost never as exposed as some of the more aggressive or specialized Forms.
"It is often referred to as the diplomat's form because it is less intensive in its demands than other disciplines, allowing Jedi to spend more time developing their skills in perception, political strategy, and negotiation."
Niman had a fairly relaxed approach to bladework, designed as a simple, easily mastered Form for Jedi who preferred to spend most of their time devoted to study or diplomacy.
To compensate for the relaxed emphasis on bladework, however, Niman integrated the Force into its Form, interspersing bladework with Force techniques, such as telekinetic pulls or pushes used in sync with lightsaber strikes. There were two primary manoeuvres in this style.
Pushing Slash: The Pushing Slash saw the wielder slammed the opponent with the Force after scoring a strike with their lightsaber, sending them flying.
Draw Closer: The polar opposite of the Pushing Slash, the Draw Closer saw the Jedi seize a distant enemy with the Force and pull them into the path of their blade.
These basic manoeuvres saw many variations, and many others were born from them – Sith, in particular, used Lightning variations of the Pushing Slash.
Due to its "jack of all trades" status, the success of this Form was largely dependent on its practitioner's intuition, creativity and improvisation, rather than the rote responses derived from other Forms.
Due to the relaxed focus on bladework, it has been said that a practitioner of Niman would find it almost impossible to defeat a practitioner of Makashi (Form II)
Due to its overall, balanced nature, nearly all Jedi studied this Form. Only one man ever achieved prominence and became absolutely deadly with Niman, and that was in the days of the Old Republic.
Exar Kun. He utilized the form with great success, establishing himself as master duellist. His use of the Form, however, was vicious, abandoning its principle of moderation and striking intensely and physically, overwhelming his opponent. This vicious attacking variation served as a prelude to Exar Kun's eventual fall to the Dark Side.
Cin Drallig: As weaponmaster of the Jedi Order, Cin Drallig was the most prolific user of Niman near the end of the days of the Republic, teaching its core principles to the Jedi younglings.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
All of us get worried at times, but for people who experience generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) this worry and anxiety can be persistent and impede your ability to function effectively or to relax.
Do you excessively worry about things for no apparent reason?
Is this excessive worry and anxiety impacting on your life?
There is a difference between GAD and normal worry.
A person with GAD worries more often and the worry is much more disruptive to their life and overall well being. With roughly 6.8 million Americans are affected by GAD it is important to recognize some of the symptoms and treatment for general anxiety disorder.
Here we describe:
Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms
There is a difference between normal worrying and GAD.
Let's suppose that you watch TV broadcast about the current economic slowdown. The average person may worry and have a temporary unease about their overall finances and job security.
A person with GAD may excessively worry about their financial situation and have difficulty controlling their thoughts.
They may spend all night worrying about their finances and then continue to worry for more days than not about the worst case scenario in which he has lost his job, can't feed his family, and has no support.
While people with GAD may not avoid work or social situations, they do go about their day with excessive worry and anxiety, with little to provoke such excessive tension.
This excessive worry and anxiety can take it's toll both physically and mentally. With people who suffer the symptoms of GAD also likely to:
Generalized anxiety disorder treatment
People with GAD experience excessive worry that is hard to control and impacts on their day-to-day living. GAD can coexist with a number of other issues such as depression, alcohol abuse and many medical conditions, to name a few. So please seek advice from a qualified medical professional.
There are a number of treatment options for treating this anxiety disorder which may include cognitive behavioral therapy and/or anti anxiety medication.
Cognitive behavioral therapy with a qualified therapist will most likely involve education, monitoring of thoughts and behavior, and cognitive and behavioral strategies to reduce overall anxiety symptoms.
There are also a number of professional online counselors who can provide anxiety help and a number of self help for anxiety options that include:

Lawn care is defined as the necessary work required to maintain a lawn and to keep it looking beautiful. Envision uses a variety of methods to improve the quality of a lawn. Some of these methods combined will help you attain a golf course quality lawn.
Fertilizer is a key component to growing a healthy lawn. The turf is affected by the presence of the various nutrients required for healthy lawn growth. Envision Landscapes applies a wide range of fertilizers to the turf depending on how the lawn looks and performs. If you have a fresh lawn, we will accommodate for that as we fertilize the various properties. Envision Landscapes recommends fertilizing 3 times per year to encourage a healthy lawn.
Top dressing
Top dressing is often known as over seeding. Top dressing a lawn is to take a thin and sparse lawn and thicken it. The ground is usually bare with very little grass. A thin layer of soil is spread out over the lawn to create a new bedding for the grass seed. After this, grass seed is liberally applied to the area to encourage new grass growth. The type of grass seed will vary depending on the area and soil conditions where the seed is being spread. Watering is encouraged every day or two, depending on the moisture conditions, so that the grass seed will germinate as soon as possible. Top dressing is commonly performed in the spring or fall, depending on the outside temperatures, to get the best results. Top dressing is recommended to get a lawn up to par with the surrounding lawn areas, and to continue with slit seeding and aerating yearly after this.
Slit Seeding
Slit seeding is the act of using a machine to insert grass seed into the lawn. The machine used for this is similar to a de-thatcher that inserts the grass seed as it goes. Slit seeding benefits the lawn because the seed comes into direct contact with the soil immediately, and has a much higher germination rate compared to top dressing. This is a very effective way to work with the lawn, provided that the existing turf is in decent shape. The grass seed inserted will have fresh turf take over from old turf, and in doing so, create a fresher lawn. We recommend this yearly in conjunction with aerating. The benefit of these two processes is that they are organic lawn controls used to encourage fresh growth without chemicals.
Core aeration helps out the lawn turf, on any property, in different ways. Core Aeration is the process of using a machine to create holes approximately 1.5-3″ deep in the lawn. It automatically removes the plugs from the holes and leaves them on the lawn.
Yearly aerating is beneficial to a lawn to maintain and build up quality turf as it:
- Improves fertilizer use for the turf.
- Reduces soil compaction for the turf.
- Improves water drainage and uptake for the turf.
- Encourages root growth to go deeper for the turf.
- Enhances ability for the turf to handle hot conditions.
Rolling is required for a property to smooth out the frost bumps in a lawn. A common application is on sports fields to ensure that divots do not become holes that are liabilities to the players that use the fields. All rolling is quoted individually for every property.
We do create a package of these items based on the needs of your property to create a healthy lawn. For a custom quote, feel free to contact us.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Sometimes, Carmelo Anthony is so productive, it takes Coach Mike Woodson until the next day to figure out what was the best part of Anthony's performance.
Anthony finished with 29 points and 7 rebounds in 40 minutes in the Knicks' 99-93 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. He also had five turnovers and made one of six 3-point attempts. Anthony's statistical line in the box score was complicated, full of good numbers and bad numbers.
The best stat, Woodson realized, was the 18 free-throw attempts, the most Anthony has had in a game this season. Woodson said he was pleased that Anthony was aggressive, but he was more thrilled that his star player forced the 76ers to foul him on his path to the basket. Anthony made 16 free throws; the 76ers shot 20 free throws.
"He shot more free throws than we've shot in a while in a game, and he had a lot to do with that in terms of his play," Woodson said Monday after practice. "When jump shots aren't falling, you have to find other ways to put points on the board, and one way is to take the ball to the bucket and sacrifice your body to get to the free-throw line. Then you have to have confidence to knock down the shots."
In a win they desperately needed to end a four-game losing streak, the Knicks shot 35 free throws and made 27. Raymond Felton was the only player not to attempt one.
The Knicks are not known as a team that pounds the ball inside. They average 21.5 free throws a game, which was 21st in the league entering Monday's games. The main reason the Knicks do not shoot many free throws is because they had shot the second-most 3-pointers in the league, behind the Houston Rockets.
J. R. Smith said the slump made the team focus more on attacking the basket.
"I think that's the way we should start off the game, by penetrating the ball and trying to get to the free-throw line and not just settling for jumpers," Smith said. "We have to make our jumpers come from what the defense gives us rather than taking the easy way out."
Besides Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler are the only other Knicks who attempt at least four free throws a game. Stoudemire and Chandler get to the free-throw line off pick-and-roll plays to the basket.
Against the 76ers, Stoudemire used low-post moves to score 22 points. He made four of six free throws.
"Offensively, Stat did an unbelievable job getting to the free-throw line," Smith said. "That's exactly what we wanted him to do."
Earlier this season, the Knicks complained about not getting to the free-throw line enough as the referees let games become physical. Woodson said the Knicks could not worry about which calls allowed them to shoot free throws.
"I want us to play physical and not back away," Woodson said. "That's what the good teams are supposed to do. If team plays us physical, that's O.K. We have to return the favor and let the officials do their job, and hopefully things work out for you."
Woodson is not expecting 35 free throws every night. But he wants the Knicks to keep attacking the basket to the point they are awarded more free throws than their opponent. After all, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Knicks (33-20) are 18-10 when they shoot more free throws than the other team.
Kenyon Martin, who signed a 10-day contract last week, might play on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Mike Woodson said Monday that Martin went through offensive sets with his teammates and was learning the playbook. "We're just trying to get him up to speed, and that's still going to take some time," Woodson said. "Eventually we'll work him in." ... Woodson acknowledged that the team's training staff has advised him to play Amar'e Stoudemire no more than 30 minutes a game. Stoudemire has played 29 minutes in just one game this season. "He was very efficient last night," Woodson said. "I can't go over 30 right now as far as his physical condition. He doesn't need much more than that. Stat has been in this league a number of years, and he can get a lot of things done in 30 minutes."

Moxie Bar & Restaurant in Madison has generated a great deal of buzz since opening in October in a vacant Wall Street building.
The word on the street is very positive, but there is considerably less affection online so I've been hesitant. Not everyone loves Moxie, it seems. To prevent oversights, I pay the restaurant two visits, where one usually suffices for casual reviews.
It's challenging to explain the nuances of the word "moxie" if your dining companions do not have English as a first language. I tell them the term has historically been used to identify tenacity where it wasn't always welcome — including brash youths and uppity women. It's mostly a positive, I tell them, but taken too far can become a negative. As if to underscore that point, Moxie's servers wear aprons that say "Determination. Nerve. Courage. BIG BRASS BALLS," which is perhaps a tad risqué for some. Despite the slightly in-your-face motif, we find the wait staff, directed by manager Karen Weiler, well trained and free of attitude.
The stand-alone restaurant has off-street parking behind it, and a nice rear porch with obvious warm weather appeal. The interior, designed by Guilford architect Elise Hergan, is handsome. The lounge is high-ceilinged with big wooden crossbeams, wood plank floors and a charcoal-colored, polished cement bar top fronted by striking red high chairs. The centerpiece of the lounge is an old scoreboard that reads: "Us 65-Them 0."
The L-shaped dining room benefits from an attractive mix of regular tables, banquette tables and booths. Rustic details like old toy jeeps mingle with more urbane ones, including one wall with a brushed gray wallpaper and another with red-and-white-patterned wallpaper that, on closer inspection, is a random series of letters and numbers that might have been spit out by a malfunctioning computer. Sheets of butcher paper are rolled out and cleverly clipped to tables. The hammered pewter light fixture that hangs over our table could double as a dinner gong.
You'll want to linger at Moxie. Order another intriguingly named cocktail ($8-$12) like the Hellabaloo or Moot Point, another rotating local craft beer ($5-$8) like our hoppy (but not overly) New England Brewing Sea Hag IPA ($6), or pour another glass from a bottle of wine ($32-$88, $9-$12) like our rich 2013 Casarena Vineyards "505" Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza, Argentina ($32). Bar manager Helen Blanchard is generous about allowing tastes of draft beer or wine available by the glass.
On Friday and Saturday from 9 to 11 p.m. and other nights from 4 to 6 p.m., the restaurant offers "Moxie Hour" specials, so my IPA is included in a terrific Tuesday $12 classic burger deal. The burgers come with choices of Cheddar, blue cheese or Gouda and fries or salad. Served on a brioche bun, my classic 6-ounce, grass-fed beef burger finished with lettuce, roasted marinated plum tomato, onion and melted Gouda, is beautifully pink and absolutely delicious, and accompanied by possibly the best housemade (sea salt and malt vinegar powder) fries I've ever had. You can call yourself Moxie when your food is this good. (But like France's Louis XVI, I've gotten ahead of myself.)
Both visits begin with lovely little housemade buttermilk biscuits sprinkled with sea salt that plays beautifully off the accompanying honey butter. Soups ($7) change daily. One night, we enjoy a tart smoked tomato, white bean and kale soup, another a hearty concoction with chorizo, beans and vegetables and just a hint of sweetness. A greenhouse salad ($9) is stunningly fresh, with smoked beet, mixed greens, goat cheese and crumbled walnut in a lemon vinaigrette.
Starters like buffalo cauliflower ($9); cheesy grits with cauliflower and mushrooms ($11); mussels, leeks and jalapeño in a citrus-beer broth ($11); shrimp hush puppies ($13) and "mac crack" ($10) sound like a weird lot, but we like the one we try — fried chicken on steamed rice flour buns ($13) with spiced walnut pesto, arugula, red onion and buttermilk dipping sauce — an American South and Asian fusion, and suspect the others are good as well.
The three entrées we get impress the heck out of us. A vegetarian's delight, a curried squash risotto ($19) with charred onion, roasted parsnip, kale, coconut milk and spiced pumpkin seeds finished with lemon juice and garnished with pappadam puts big smiles on our faces. But we're really impressed with three beautifully bronzed and naturally sweet scallops ($27) served in an incredible maple-and-mustard cream sauce over braised greens and chewy farro and sprinkled with a "pretzel gremolata."
I love a server who gets my jokes, as our waitress does, smiling at my inquiry, "Mutual assured destruction?" when she hands my date and me huge steak knives. Our slab of pork tenderloin ($23) in a vibrant mojo sauce could be done a little less but is beautifully seasoned and served over a terrific bacon-potato cake and wonderful Brussels sprouts with bacon and dried cranberries.
For desserts, we delve into a chocolate and banana bread pudding ($9) with toasted walnuts, berries and crème anglaise — and unearth treasure. Sweet potato pie ($9) with gingered whipped cream and candied orange is also swoon-worthy. Chef Derek Siegfried, who was formerly the sous chef at Zinc in New Haven, clearly has a great touch. While Moxie's playful, it ain't playin'!

A century old true story of paintings and love – what could possibly go wrong weaving such classic elements into Cornwall's timeless rocky tapestry?
Like the differences between a novice working in charcoals and a Master in oils, this romantic drama doesn't quite have the flourish and depth that you might be hoping for.
Beginning pre-war in 1913, the story details an Edwardian love triangle at the heart of the bohemian Lamorna Group within the Newlyn School of artists.
Gilbert Evans is a land agent in charge of the Lamorna Valley estate, Florence Carter-Wood is an aspiring artist and AJ Munnings an anti-Modernist prone to spouting poetry.
Like John Maybury's film The Edge of Love (2008), starring Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller opposite Matthew Rhys as poet Dylan Thomas, the main ingredients for a silver screen sizzler are here.
But after a very stilted opening where we seem to be trapped indoors in the dark, Summer in February scarcely reaches a simmer. Perhaps it was a mistake to let debut screenplay writer Jonathan Smith adapt his own novel.
Or to hire a TV movie director, Christopher Menaul. The Devil's Double star Dominic Cooper plays Munnings as a Jamie Redknapp lookalike, his F-words and designer stubble another two reasons why he's just too 21st century for his own good.
Summer in February doesn't look as if was shot in late winter, the hand-held camera work jars and the often hazy picture quality lacks the texture of old-fashioned celluloid.
As a drama, it's not quite as bad as watching paint dry, but with a lack of confrontation the moments of heartfelt regret are too self-absorbed to engage the viewer's emotions.
If you hear anyone near you sniffling in the audience, chances are it will be due to hay fever.
Try Emily Blunt's My Summer of Love (2004) instead – it even makes Todmorden feel like Italy.

How to Increase GFR

Your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measurement of how much blood passes through your kidneys each minute. If your GFR is too low, it means that your kidneys aren't working well and your body is retaining toxins. Depending on the circumstances, you can usually increase GFR by making changes to your diet and lifestyle; though, prescription medication and other professional medical treatment might be necessary for some individuals with exceptionally low GFR.
Part 1
Before You Begin: Finding Your GFR
1Take the test. Your doctor can test your GFR by administering a creatinine blood test. Creatinine is a waste product present in your blood. If the amount of creatinine contained within a sample is too high, your kidneys' filtering ability (GFR) is likely too low.[1]
- Alternatively, your doctor might administer a creatinine clearance test, which measures the amount of creatinine in both your blood and urine.
2Understand your numbers. Your test results are only one factor involved in calculating your GFR. Doctors also take into consideration your age, race, body size, and gender when determining the actual GFR rate.
- If your GFR is 90 mls/min/1.73m2 or greater, your kidneys are considered to be in good health.[2][3]
- GFR between 60 and 89 mls/min/1.73m2 puts you into stage two chronic kidney disease (CKD). A rate between 30 and 59 mls/min/1.73m2 puts you into stage three CKD, and rate between 15 and 29 mls/min/1.73m2 are considered stage four CKD.
- Once your GFR dips below 15 mls/min/1.73m2, you are in stage five CKD, which means your kidneys have failed.
3Talk with your doctor. Your doctor can provide you with additional detail regarding your GFR score and how it impacts your life. If your numbers are lower than they should be, your physician will probably recommend some type of treatment, but the specifics may vary from patient to patient.
- You'll need to make certain changes to your diet and overall lifestyle regardless of which stage of CKD you've entered. During the early stages, however, these changes might be enough to improve your GFR. This is especially true if you've had no prior history of kidney problems.
- During the later stages of CKD, your doctor will likely prescribe some form of medication to help improve your kidney function. This medication should be used alongside lifestyle changes and should not be thought of as a substitute treatment.
- In the final stages of CKD, your doctor will almost always put you on dialysis or recommend a kidney transplant.
Part 2
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
1Eat more vegetables and less meat. Increased creatinine and low GFR go hand-in-hand; one issue generally won't be present without the other. Animal products contain creatine and creatinine, so you may need to restrict the amount of animal-based protein you consume.[4]
- Plant-based sources of food, on the other hand, do not contain creatine or creatinine. Maintaining a largely vegetarian diet can also help reduce other risk factors of CKD, including diabetes and high blood pressure.
2Quit smoking. Smoking increases the number of toxins in your body, and those toxins will have to pass through your kidneys. Quitting the habit will ease the burden on your kidneys and improve their ability to filter out waste.
- Additionally, smoking can also cause or aggravate high blood pressure. High blood pressure is linked to CKD, so maintaining healthy blood pressure can further improve your GFR.
3Try a low salt diet. Damaged kidneys have difficulty filtering sodium, so diets high in salt can aggravate your condition and cause your GFR to worsen.[5]
- Eliminate salty foods from your diet and opt for low-sodium alternatives when offered. Try seasoning your food with other spices and herbs instead of relying strictly on salt.
- You should also eat more home-cooked meals from scratch and fewer boxed dinners. Meals made from scratch generally contain less sodium since many boxed meals use salt for its preservative qualities.[6]
4Consume less potassium and phosphorus. Both phosphorus and potassium are two other minerals your kidneys may have difficulty filtering, especially once they've already been weakened or damaged. Stay away from foods high in either mineral and don't take any supplement that contains either mineral.
- Potassium-rich foods include winter squash, sweet potato, potato, white beans, yogurt, halibut, orange juice, broccoli, cantaloupe, banana, pork, lentils, milk, salmon, pistachios, raisins, chicken, and tuna.[7]
- Phosphorus-rich foods include milk, yogurt, hard cheeses, cottage cheese, ice cream, lentils, whole grains, dried peas, beans, nuts, seeds, sardines, pollock, colas, and flavored waters.[8]
5Drink nettle leaf tea. Drinking one to two 8 oz (250 ml) cups of nettle leaf tea each day may help reduce creatinine levels in the body, and as a result, it may also help increase your GFR.
- Check with your doctor to verify that nettle leaf tea is safe based on your specific medical history.
- To prepare nettle leaf tea, steep two fresh nettle leaves in at least 8 oz (250 ml) of simmering water for 10 to 20 minutes. Strain and discard the leaves, then drink the tea while it's still hot.
6Exercise regularly. Cardiovascular exercise, in particular, can help improve your circulation. As more blood pumps through your body, it can more effectively flush toxins through the kidneys, thereby improving your GFR.
- Note that strenuous physical activity can increase the breakdown of creatine into creatinine, though, which can increase the burden on your kidneys and cause your GFR to drop further.
- Your best option is to engage in regular moderate exercise. For instance, you might consider cycling or walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes a day, three to five days a week.
7Manage your weight. In most cases, weight management will be the natural result of a healthy diet and regular exercise. You should avoid risky diets or fad diets unless they are specifically recommended by a physician or renal dietician.
- Maintaining a healthy weight makes it easier for blood to pass through your body and may help regulate your blood pressure as a result. Once blood can flow through your body more readily, it will be more able to flush toxins and fluids through your kidneys, and you should see an improvement in your GFR.
Part 3
Medical Treatment
1Speak with a renal dietitian. During later stages of kidney disease, your doctor may recommend you to specialist capable of devising the best diet for your condition. These specialists are known as "renal dieticians."
- Your renal dietician will work with you to reduce the stress on your kidneys while maintaining a balance between the fluids and minerals in your body.
- Most specialized diets will include elements similar to those described in this article. For instance, you might be instructed to reduce your intake of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein.
2Identify any underlying cause. Most CKD and low GFR rates are caused or influenced by other underlying conditions. In such cases, you'll need to get these other ailments under control before you can raise your GFR.
- High blood pressure and diabetes are the two most common causes.
- When the cause of kidney disease isn't easily identifiable, your doctor may administer additional tests to diagnose the issue. These may include urine tests, ultrasounds, and CT scans. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a biopsy to remove and evaluate a small sample of kidney tissue.
3Take prescription kidney medication. When another condition causes kidney disease, or when kidney disease causes related problems, your doctor may prescribe certain medications to help treat your overall condition.[9]
- High blood pressure is often linked to low GFR, so you may need some type of blood pressure medication. Options include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, and others) or angiotensin receptor blockers (losartan, valsartan, and others). These drugs can maintain blood pressure while also reducing protein levels in your urine, allowing your kidneys to work less hard as a result.
- During late stages of kidney disease, your kidneys may not be able to produce an important hormone called "erythropoietin," so your doctor may need to prescribe drugs that can help remedy the problem.
- You may also need vitamin D supplements or other drugs to help control phosphorus levels since your kidneys will have difficulty filtering phosphorus in the body.
4Discuss other medications with your doctor. All drugs are filtered through the kidneys, so you should discuss any medication you plan to use with your doctor while your GFR levels are low. This includes both prescription and non-prescription drugs.
- You may need to completely avoid NSAID and COX-II inhibitor drugs. Common NSAID drugs include ibuprofen and naproxen. One common COX-II inhibitor is celecoxib. Both drug classes have been linked to increased incidents of kidney disease.
- Talk with your doctor before trying any herbal remedy or alternative treatment, as well. "Natural" treatments are not necessarily better for you, and if you aren't careful, you could take something that may make your GFR levels dip lower.
5Periodically check your GFR. Even if you successfully increase your GFR, you should continue to check your GFR throughout your lifetime. This is especially true if you've ever had lower than average rates or if you face an elevated risk of kidney disease.
- GFR and kidney function naturally decline with age, so your doctor will likely recommend continued exams to help monitor the rate of decline. He or she may need to adjust your medications or dietary recommendations based on any changes to your GFR.
6Go on dialysis. If your GFR is extremely low and you've entered into renal failure, you'll need to go on dialysis to filter waste products and excess fluid from your system.
- Hemodialysis involves the use of an artificial kidney machine with a mechanical filter.
- Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to help filter and clean waste products from your blood.
7Wait for a kidney transplant. Kidney transplants are another option for people with advanced kidney disease and exceptionally low GFR. You'll need to be matched with the right donor before a transplant can take place. Oftentimes the donor is a relative, but in many cases, it may also be a stranger.
- Not everyone with advanced kidney disease qualifies as a candidate for transplant, however. Age and medical history may rule out this treatment option.
- After receiving a transplant, you'll still need to carefully monitor your diet and overall kidney health to prevent your GFR rate from dropping too low again.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I treat my GFR when I have high blood pressure?Community AnswerTreat the high blood pressure first. Get that under control, then work with a renal dietitian to develop a diet low in salt that's geared to your situation. Religiously follow a moderate exercise program.
QuestionCan I improve GFR in stage 4 CKD?Community AnswerPossibly, via strict diet that is based on plant foods.
QuestionWhat is the typical GFR for a 65-year-old man?Community AnswerBecause GFR decreases with age, the normal value for a man between 65-70 would be 58.2.
QuestionHow can a man in his 60s raise his GFR?Community AnswerYou can accomplish this by not smoking, eating vegetables and fruits and by drinking tea (preferably chamomile).
QuestionI'm a 37-year-old female and my GFR is only 53. My BUN is 25. I'm not diabetic, I've never had high blood pressure, never smoked, I exercise, and I'm not overweight. What could have caused this?Breeha MackCommunity AnswerHow are your electrolytes? Sodium, Potassium, Chloride and Co2? Your issue may not be kidney related yet adrenal gland/aldosterone related. The adrenal gland is a gland sits on top of your kidney and tells it what to do. See an Endocrinologist.
QuestionHow do I increase my GFR when I have cancer?Community AnswerThis should be discussed with your oncologist (cancer doctor) and/or nephrologist (kidney doctor). Since they know the specifics of your case, they will be best able to advise you.
QuestionI am 50 years old. My GFR is 8. My wife wants to donate a kidney, but she is incompatible with me. My blood type is B, and herd is A. What should we fo?Community AnswerShe can still donate a kidney - they will accept it - and if not compatible with you, they will trade it for one that is. The matter is "expedited" as long as they have a kidney to trade on the network.
QuestionMy GFR is 47, two months ago it was 55. What should I do?Community AnswerTry to stay healthy, quit smoking, exercise regularly. Eat low salt foods, drink nettle leaf tea. Eat more food with phosphorus and less food with potassium.
QuestionMy mother's GFR is 7.8, and she is a diabetic patient. How can she reduce her GFR level?Community AnswerUsually GFR is a regular number, like 60, 52, etc. You actually want to elevate her GFR level. It should be at 90 or above, depending on her age. 7.8 sounds like maybe her HBG A1C level. A GFR level of 7 would mean stage 5 and dialysis for your mom.
QuestionMy G.F.R. is 13. I am choosing not to go on dialysis because I also have heart failure. Are there any homeopathic ways to raise my levels and/or heal the kidneys without dialysis or transplant?Community AnswerThere are no proven homeopathic alternatives to failing kidneys at this stage especially if there has been a slow decline in your GFR. Treatment at this stage is hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, transplant, or opting for no treatment. If not seeking treatment, other organs (like the heart and lungs) will likely become further stressed and fail.

Article SummaryX
To increase your GFR, start by eating less meat, since animal products contain creatine and creatinine that go along with low GFR. Additionally, eat fewer foods that are rich in either potassium, like potatoes and bananas, or phosphorous, like milk and nuts, because weakened or damaged kidneys can have trouble processing those chemical elements. If you smoke, try to quit so the toxins from cigarettes no longer have to pass through your kidneys. Also, exercise regularly if you can to improve overall circulation and kidney function. To learn how to have your GFR tested and understand the results, keep reading!

A bit about myself...
I work from my studio at home at the top of my garden. Most of my inspiration comes from nature and I enjoy watching the seasons change in my lovely garden from my studio window. However, my best ideas come from my 2 year old Labrador 'Honey', but as she lacks opposable thumbs, she has left to me to interpret her ideas. I hope I do them justice. I love working with my hands. I feel at times they have their own agenda and I am just along for the ride. So it does not come as a surprise that I like to use my hands to express myself. Whether that is through my clay work, baking a cake or working in my garden.
Currently, sculpting animals in clay fascinates me. I find it challenging and ultimately rewarding to achieve a balance of creating the animal desired, give it a personality and the feeling of movement in something as solid and immovable as fired clay.
To work with clay and have clay work with me is a passion of mine. I am not one for fine lines, scrupulous detail and vibrant colours. I am one for proportion, movement and letting the clay speak for itself. It is important to me that people enjoy' my pieces. Not just admire' or like'. I hope that my pieces are allowed to be more of a presence in people lives and not just another knick-knack.

The stars crumbled into tiny pieces;
As they fell, the dust slipped through our fingers;
As the mountains exploded beneath us;
We were buried before we could flee.
Sea beds became dry valleys of the dead;
There was not water, but an ocean of bone,
And the sun's rays could hardly have seized us;
They had burnt out before they could be.
As I watched the sparks fade from your eyes,
I watched the starlight fade from our lives;
I watched the core of the earth start to shrink;
Why did the world die before we could blink?

29Eleven is Greenwood's fellowship of Junior and Senior High youth.
"'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11)
(Click here for a video presentation put together for our annual Talent Show/Mission Trip fundraiser)
We love the Word, Christian fellowship, music, mission and, of course, food. But we especially like visitors and hope you will consider coming to one of our meetings and become a part of our growing fellowship.
We meet on most Sunday nights from 6:00 until 8:00. We are an informal group. All in grades 7 to 12 are welcome; you don't need to be invited because everyone is invited. Just come out and meet the gang.
Most of our meetings consist of:
- Contemporary Worship (a.k.a. loud Christian music)
- Reflection (on stuff that matters to you)
- Games and Activities (who says you can't run around in church?)
- Fellowship (a fancy term for hanging out with like-minded friends)
- Food (it wouldn't be a party without it!)
We host:
- Retreats (sleep is over rated)
- Lock-ins (again, sleep is over rated)
- Mission trips (sleep? what?)
- Road trips to concerts, theme parks and the like.
Sure, we like to have fun, but we also take our responsibility seriously. Make no mistake, we are a Christian organization. Our faith, morals, and convictions are non-negotiable.
- Fellowship and friendship with other like-minded youth, generating "positive peer-pressure" to help kids live the kind of lives they want to live in service of God.
- A support system for making Christian choices and resisting temptation in an increasingly secularized society.
- Education in the foundations of the Christian faith, presented in creative and at-times unconventional formats.
- Opportunities to reach out to un-churched and under-churched peers by invitation to a quality and entertaining program.
- Integration into the larger church family through interaction with other church programs and service projects to benefit the church as a whole.
- Opportunities for mentoring with adult youth leaders, building Christian faith and maturity into the workings of their daily lives.
- Teaching in leadership and creativity through participation in program development and execution.
- Coming "face to face with a living Lord" through specially designed worship and study opportunities geared to lay a foundation for a lifetime of vibrant faith: expressed experientially, intellectually, emotionally and willfully in the lives of Greenwood youth and their friends.

It is a scene from the movie Basquiat, about the 'graffiti' neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. I love this movie, I love Jean-Michel Basquiat's work and this scene also has my favourite cover song in it 'Its All Over Now Baby Blue' by Van Morrison. I think it's a cool clip, and depending on what mood you're in can make you feel very happy or very sad.
So this is it...
"He says he's jealous of the moon, because you look at it. He's jealous of the sun, because it warms you. He says, I feel you, even when I'm not feeling you. I talk to you when I'm not talking to you. I love you, even when I'm not loving you."
|Untitled (Skull) 1982 - Jean-Michel Basquiat
|Untitled 1983 - Jean-Michel Basquiat
Anyway, my sister and I discovered Basquiat when we were quite young and bought calendars to hang in our rooms. We thought we were so cool for knowing this, out there, artist and treated it like he was our own discovery. I didn't really understand why I loved his work maybe it had to do with the bright colours or maybe it had to do with the fact it wasn't a form of art our mum and dad had ever shown us. Either way both of us still love him and we both still have our calenders.
If you want to look at more of his artworks you can here.

If you've read my previous posts, you know that Angelina started middle school this year. Middle school has brought with it changes in how her diabetes is treated at school, and how much she is able to do independently. We struggled last year to fight for her right for independence and honestly, we failed. As we moved into this school year I resolved to be a better advocate for her at school and to insist on more independence, regardless of what happened last year or what the school nurse's opinion was. I also brought David along with me on the first meeting this year, as support, but also to show that we are united in this and even though he was the only man in the room, there's something about a dad attending this type of meeting that seems to communicate "We mean business". (More on the injustices of a patriarchal society later.)
I went into today's meeting prepared to battle and was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't totally necessary. Last year we had problems, not so much with the school administrators, but with the district nursing staff who seemed to think they understood our daughter's needs better than we or her physician do. Who seemed to think that their interpretation of the doctor's orders were the only correct ones, despite the fact that the doctor and I discussed the orders and *I* pretty much wrote them (read: told her what I would like them to say) and she added her signature for weight and authenticity. Yet, I was told that I did not know what the doctor meant, only the nurses did, since they are nurses. You can understand why I would be apprehensive going into this year's meeting.
However, the district nurse supervisor has changed. And not only that, but the district nurse supervisor is also the overseeing nurse for Angelina's school, which means we have only one district nurse who we have to deal with, instead of two. And she was AWESOME. I was nervous, certainly, going into the meeting. The nurse out both David and I right at ease and shared how she has twin 10 year old sons at home and she understands, from a parental perspective, how difficult kids this age can be. And then the meeting started.
First off, the assistant principal had another meeting to attend one hour after our meeting began so she was very concerned about time. Of course, she then proceeded to read last year's 504 plan line by line rather than just diving into the changes that I had made to this year's 504 plan and go over the things that were remaining the same. I will never understand when people say they are short on time and then choose the option of doing things in a way that takes the longest amount of time. We finally got around to the revised plan and discussed changes.
Something that became immediately apparent is that the current district nurse supervisor was not consulted before the AP made changes. Instead, she had consulted the nurse we had last year. And the changes they made were terrible. The first section essentially said Angelina couldn't do anything on her own, which is not at all what the doctor's orders said. The look on the AP's face when I said "No. She will test her blood sugar independently. She doesn't need to go to the nurse or to have the nurse come to her for that." was priceless. She sputtered and then went to get Angelina's diabetes care book from the school nurse (who was not in the meeting) that contained her doctor's orders. Clear as day the doctor's orders say "She is able to be independent with blood glucose testing, CGM trends and alarms." Verbatim from the doctor's orders. How anyone can get "needs to be supervised" out of that statement, especially after having this argument ad nauseam last year, is beyond me. And if there was a question, this line from the doctor's orders should serve as further proof "Check blood glucose with meter brought from home or additional meter left at school. this meter should be allowed to be carried by Angelina." It was even more humorous when the AP turned to the DNS and asked her to which the nurse replied "She shouldn't need supervision for that. It clearly states in the orders that she may be independent. I have elementary kids who do this independently, it's not hard." Oh my goodness… where was this nurse last year? I sorely needed her. And that was that.
The rest of the meeting went rather smoothly. There were a few tweaks that the AP had made on top of changes that I had made. Some of them were changed back to my original revisions, others additions were kept. All in all, the meeting only ran twenty minutes late. We didn't sign anything today because of the changes that need to be typed in, and then we will reconvene to sign everything. I just have to make sure to go over it all with a fine tooth comb because I noticed that some of the sections looked mostly the same but a few words were changed that totally changed the meaning.

Founded on July 31st, 1752, the Vienna Zoo at Schönbrunn Palace was originally reserved only for Habsburg family members. Later on, this exotic animal menagerie opened its doors to the public, granted they were "dressed properly".
Today, the longest standing zoo to date is one of the highest ranking and most modern in the world. In 2009 and 2010, it was voted Europe's best zoo. More than 500 animal species live on Schönbrunn's grounds: Siberian tigers, hippos, one-horned rhinoceroses, and pandas, just to name a few. Experience the tropical wildlife, foliage, and thunderstorms that simulate a real Southeast Asian rainforest in the Rainforest House. The South American section is landscaped just like the continent's pampas, with anteaters and capybaras roaming and enjoying their habitat. In the ORANG.erie, learn about this endangered species and watch fun-loving orangutans swing and play.
Choose from a variety of tours and packages that suit your interests in the zoo's animal exhibits. Early risers can enjoy the exclusive "Celebration Package" which invites guests in before the gates to the zoo have even opened! Scope out the morning feeding, look behind the scenes of the rainforest or aquarium house, and treat yourself to an "imperial" breakfast and a basket full of souvenirs. Late risers are welcome to visit after dark to join the "Night Vision Tour", which leads guests through the zoo with infrared binoculars to observe exotic nocturnal animal activity.

|Henry Checking the Weather - 40" x 30" oil on canvas
Henry also loves to be outside in our backyard. He loves having our entire family just be outside, reading, drawing and then having a picnic. Henry has always called those "Relaxing Days". I try not to teach on Sundays and Jeff will wait until the evening to do his work. That way we can always spend the entire day together as a family. I think Henry is the happiest when the four of us just spend time together without running off to some event or activity.
|Pencil Sketch
A few years ago, I knew Henry was serious about his weather interest when he purchased a book while we were at Yellowstone. It was all about weather patterns. It had a layer of dust on it, so I knew it had been in the gift shop for quite some time. I even asked him "Are you sure you want to spend your vacation money on this?!" I couldn't help but notice all the toys and "fun" stuff. Henry was positive and had waited and saved his money the whole trip and then once he found this book, he got really excited. Incidentally, my other son, Fred, spent his vacation money the first day and at the first gift shop on a rubber/stretchy bear and was out of all his money for the rest of the trip. My boys are so different. Anyways, my husband and I got to enjoy the annoying stretchy bear in the car and Henry continually reading random weather facts to us the entire time in the park! haha..
|Henry with local weatherman, Bill Randby
I was lucky that last year, while he was in third grade, one of the teachers told me that if I wanted to, she could simply ask Bill Randby to come for a visit to the school. Not only was I thrilled, but they allowed Henry to greet him at the principal's office, walk him back to the classroom and be his assistant.
I'm not sure who was more excited that day, Henry or me?
