Giverny was painter Claude Monet's home in the northwest of France for 43 years. Located in the Normandy region, the home and gardens are about 50 miles west of Paris. Monet used the gardens, and the surrounding village, as subject matter for his paintings. Open from the end of March until the beginning of November each year, the gardens include a symmetrical section designed by Monet, a main alleyway and a Japanese-style water garden.Continue Reading
The Clos Normand is the flower garden section right outside Monet's home. It has some semblance of order, but many varieties of flowers are mixed together, just like the artist liked it. Fruit and ornamental trees share space with multi-colored daisies and poppies. The central alley, framed in iron arches, was designed for Monet's climbing roses.
The water garden, especially the lily ponds, often found its way onto Monet's canvases. The Japanese design, complete with a large arched bridge, was taken from prints the artist collected. Smaller bridges were used as accents throughout. Monet was also fond of wisteria, and planted it throughout his water oasis.
Nearly 500,000 people visit Monet's garden each year. Pathways wander through the garden to keep visitors off the plants. The gardens and the family home, also open to the public, were restored by the Academie des Beaux-Arts. Self guided and guided tours are available.Learn more about Geography

Directed by: Sajid Nadiadwala
Starring: Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda, Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Music by: Himesh Reshammiya
Running time: 146 minutes
BollySitter Recommended Age: 10+
BollySitter Family GO Factor: 3.5/5.0
Action comedy targeted towards Salman Khan fans. Mostly meant to entertain, where the main lead lives for an adrenalin rush ("Kick") in life, with a strong undertone of Robinhood-type personality. Movie does have a positive message of philanthropy and helping others in need, although the character's means of getting the money to help the needy are atypical.
Most of the violence is either slapstick or on a large scale, like superhero-based movies, where destruction and blowing up of cars and buildings is the name of the game. In some animated fight sequence breaking of bones is shown.
In one sequence, a couple commits suicide; blood is shown and might be disturbing for young kids. In another sequence, a fight erupts following the harassment of a girl by few shady characters in a restaurant.
Flirtation & romance shown between main characters. No nudity is shown.
No hard curse words are used. The word "Kaminey" is used few times.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking
Drinking is shown in a few sequences in the movie. In two different long sequences, two characters get drunk.
The main character's lifestyle is larger than life and is shown to be living only for an adrenaline rush. He is also shown to be living an unstable life, and is confused and non-committal towards love for a long term. Although shown to be philanthropic, his means to fund his efforts and taking the law in his own hands, in order to be cool, are often irrational.
Bechdel test 0.5/3
Movie has more than two female characters, but only the main female lead has a significant role. Women do talk to one another, but most of the discussions are about marriage and boys. The movie is not very strong on the Bechdel scale.
Bottom line
Kick is made to order for die-hard Salman Khan fans who would not mind him repeating the same antics in different movies. Overall the movie is clean; except a few over the top violence sequences, and a few lengthy drinking scenes, it is safe for 10+ year-olds who have an understanding of superhero movies and some mature content.

Derek Drouin's gold headlines another successful day for Canada
Canada's Derek Drouin (left) poses after finishing in first in the high jump with compatriot and third place finisher Michael Mason (right) following the final at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. (Suzanne Plunkett/Reuters)

Derek Drouin didn't have a clock on it. But he figures it has to be some kind of a Games track and field record for Canada.
"We just got four medals in a matter of two minutes, I think," said the high jumper of what happened in Hampden Park Stadium at the Commonwealth Games Wednesday evening.
Drouin, from Corunna, Ont., who won bronze at the London 2012 Olympics and silver at last year's IAAF world championships, won Commonwealth gold with Canadian teammate Mike Mason of Abbortsford, B.C., claiming silver.
Just as the high jump event ended Brianne Theisen-Eaton of Humboldt, Sask., and Jessica Zelinka of London, Ont. left the blocks for the 800 metres to complete the women's heptathlon.
"And the national anthem for Jim Steacy's gold medal from last night played just before my last attempt. I said 'If this isn't going to get me pumped up, I don't know what will. It was a pretty special few minutes there," said Drouin of the Lethbridge hammer-thrower's time on the podium in the evening, which would conclude with Julie Labonte of St. Justine, Que., adding a bronze medal in women's shotput to the Canadian track and field collection which now stands at five gold, one silver and four bronze.
"When we were in this tunnel before going out for the 800 is when Jim Steacy was on the medal stand and I was listening to the Canadian anthem and I was thinking 'An hour and that could be me up there,'" said Theisen-Eaton.
"I was really relaxed going into the 800 because I knew Derek had won gold and Mike had won bronze. So that was really cool.
"When I won, I think it was Derek who handed me the flag."
If you were to pick a pair of Canadian track and field competitors to bet for ultimate success at the Rio Olympics, selecting Drouin and Theisen-Eaton would be a hard combination to beat.
As silver medal winner Zelinka put it: "She was second in the world coming in. I was 20th and coming back after taking a whole year off, so it was no surprise."
Considering their rankings, you wouldn't think winning the gold medals would have been that big a deal to Theisen-Eaton and Drouin. But both were thrilled.
"It's my first international victory. Finally. It feels good. The last couple were silver," said Theisen-Eaton of her two previous triumphs, winning silvers at both the IAAF world championships, indoor and outdoor.
"I always said I wouldn't get choked up. But I had to fight back a few tears. It's just representing your country, it felt really good," she added.
A bronze medal winner at the London 2012 Olympic Games and a silver medallist at the 2013 worlds, Drouin said upgrading to gold has been the goal.
"It'd definitely nice to get a prettier looking medal, that's for sure.
"Any time you can have success and get a major competition under your belt, you're just moving forward. I'm going to have more confidence heading into Rio because of this."
And experiencing the sellout crowd here, he said, made it memorable.
"They were something. It's got to be something to be a Scottish athlete with them all behind you. It seems like they're just generally excited and genuinely thrilled for every athlete no matter where they're from. That was definitely appreciated and we felt very supported," he said.
"This is definitely, by far, the best crowd for their support they have for all of the athletes. They're not just cheering for the home country. That was really cool and it made the performances a lot better," said Theisen-Eaton.

The Spice Girls are working on plans to transfer their West End musical to Broadway.
The girl group launched Viva Forever! in London in December (12) and they are now planning to take the show to New York's famed theatre district.
Bandmember Emma Bunton says, "The plan is to go abroad with the show and we're very optimistic. We want to get it out on Broadway."
The show received scathing reviews from critics and lacklustre ticket sales sparked speculation the London show would be closed early, but producer Judy Craymer is adamant the rumours are not true and they also hope to expand the production into Asia.
She says, "We want to get it out to Broadway - that's the plan. There are talks in progress. Japan and Asia also want it.
"We just want to make sure we have the product right in London first. The critics were always going to give us a hard time, but the truth is it's sold out until June. Feedback from audiences has been amazing. Spice Girls fans are loving every minute... It's been hard - but just like any show is hard to start from scratch and launch on the West End."

As MPs head off for their summer break, HuffPost's Ottawa Bureau Chief Althia Raj has taken a look back at the politicians who performed best and worst during the Parliamentary session.
See who we thought shone and stumbled and make sure to vote for who you think were the very worst and very best using the stars on the right side of the two slideshows below.
Rob Anders: Anders said a car accident was to blame after video of the Calgary MP sleeping in the House of Commons went viral. Then he was accused of falling asleep again, this time during a Veterans Affairs committee meeting. Instead of apologizing to the veterans he'd greeted with a snore, Anders accused them of being NDP hacks. They said they were card-carrying Conservatives. Anders apologized soon after, but he was booted from the committee.
Dean Del Mastro: If he hadn't been so sanctimonious about the robocalls scandal, Canadians might feel a bit sorry for the guy. In court documents, Elections Canada seems to suggest Del Mastro committed electoral fraud by over-contributing to his campaign by writing a personal $21,000 cheque for, you guessed it, robocalls. It is alleged his campaign overspent it's allowed limit and tried to hide it. Del Mastro initially appeared genuinely shocked by the allegations but more than two weeks later, as more evidence mounts, he still can't provide answers.
Jonathan Tremblay: This NDP MP from Montmorency--Charlevoix--Haute-Côte-Nord opened mail marked for Liberal MP Marc Garneau and then kept the contents, toy spaceships, for his own purposes. Seriously, he stole mail. And what was with that rat-tail
Peter Kent: This minister needs to tone down the rhetoric. Accusing charities of laundering money is not only a criminal allegation, it doesn't help his argument. Why doesn't Kent come up with rational reasons to justify the government's actions on the environment? It's one of the reasons no one believes the Conservatives care about the file.
Peter MacKay: It isn't the expensive hotels but the F-35 procurement fiasco that really lands this minister in hot water. Did MacKay allow officials to sneak something past him without appropriate scrutiny? Did he knowingly mislead Canadians about the cost of the fighter jets? This minister needs to take control of his department.
Pat Martin: The loose-lipped New Democrat from Winnipeg not only dropped a few F-bombs on Twitter this year but was also too quick with his vocal criticism of the robocalls scandal. Now he finds himself the subject of a $5 million lawsuit that won't go away, no matter how many times he apologizes.
Bev Oda: $16 orange juice. Hundreds more for fancier hotels. Thousands more for limousines. She's the minister in charge of helping starving children. Need we say more?
Vic Toews: First the Public Minister said Canadians who opposed the government's desire to spy on the public whenever it wishes were standing with child pornographers. Then, in a radio interview, he appeared to have little knowledge of what his bill actually contained. His comments created an uproar and the bill has been shelved -- for now. This week, Toews also had to back down from a CBSA plan to spy on travellers in Canadian airports. The government now plans to talk about its proposal with the Privacy Commissioner before moving forward.
Lise St-Denis: This rookie MP from Saint-Maurice--Champlain announced in January that she was switching parties and joining the Liberals after spending ten years volunteering with the NDP. She told reporters she ran for the New Democrats but never expected to be elected and infamously declared, in one of the year's least tactful comments: "They voted for Jack Layton. Jack Layton died." St-Denis said she didn't want to spend three years listening to a party defend policies she disagreed with. She pointed to the NDP opposing the mission extension in Libya, opposing public-private partnership for large-scale infrastructure deals and its desire to abolish the Senate. We can only ask, did St-Denis read any of the NDP's policies during her 10 years as a volunteer? We're not sure the Liberals got the best of the batch here...
David Wilks: This B.C. MP from Kootenay--Columbia told his constituents he agreed with them that there were problems with Bill C-38, the Tories' omnibus budget legislation, and said he was prepared to oppose it if other Conservatives joined him. But as soon as the story, and his comments, hit the Web, Wilks did a complete 180, saying he supported the Conservative government's budget bill. Although he recently told CBC's Julie Van Dusen he now thinks the bill is "great for Canada," after reading and studying it better, we think he either misled his constituents or sold them out after being disciplined by the Prime Minister's Office.
Rona Ambrose: The Edmonton MP and Public Works Minister didn't have an easy time as environment minister a few years back but now everything Ambrose touches seems to come out smoothly -- at least, that's what the government hopes. After successfully managing a $33-billion shipbuilding contract that didn't split the country apart, she's now entrusted with ensuring another billion-dollar procurement, the bungled F-35 jet deal (through the national fighter procurement secretariat), goes smoothly and fairly.
Charlie Angus: The NDP MP for Timmins--James Bay drew international attention to the plight of the Attawapiskat First Nation in his northern Ontario riding after writing a blog about it on The Huffington Post Canada this fall. The blog and the public pressure it garnered forced the federal government to take action on a situation it had largely ignored.
Nathan Cullen: The former NDP leadership contender may have lost the leadership race but he earned a lot of respect. His willingness to reach across party lines and work with Liberals may come in handy later on. Watch for him now in his more visible role as NDP house leader.
Stephen Harper: After two minority governments, the prime minister is now taking the long view on Canada's future. While he tends to appear more statesmanlike abroad than at home, his speech in Davos this January signalled his willingness to make tough decisions to ensure long-term economic growth. Harper's suggestions: pension reform, new free trade deals, more intense development of Canada's natural resources, lower health care spending and major immigration reforms.
Jason Kenney: He may have taken his lumps for calling the deputy premier of Alberta an "asshole," but one thing we appreciate about Kenney is that he says what he thinks and doesn't mince words. He maintains a delicate balance between currying favours with immigrants and taking a hard line on would-be refugees. While it may appear the hard-working MP sometimes lacks compassion, his focus on ensuring immigrants serve Canada (rather than the other way around) is good for the economy and should help new immigrants by giving them easier access to quality jobs.
Megan Leslie & Michelle Rempel: The NDP's environment critic and the environment minister's parliamentary secretary are two smart women who make question period worth watching. Leslie, left, asks intelligent questions and has a knack for baiting her older Conservative colleagues into saying something stupid. Rempel has outshone her minister, Peter Kent by managing to deflect opposition attacks in clever ways without ever putting her foot in her mouth. These are two rising stars.
Elizabeth May: The Green Party Leader has shown what one MP can do with a team of volunteers and a lot of heart. Canadians with any knowledge of C-38, the Conservative omnibus budget, likely have May to thank. May has been ferocious in her attacks on the bundled bill and ger ability to work with opposition parties resulted in the longest series of marathon votes Canadians have seen in a long time.
Bob Rae: It's always difficult for politicians to put their personal ambitions aside. In stepping away from the Liberal leadership race, Rae took another one for the team. Highly regarded by colleagues in and out of his party, he's an effective communicator who kept the Liberals alive in the Commons despite third place status.
Justin Trudeau: Not only did the Liberal MP for Papineau shame Conservatives across the country when he pummeled Tory Sen. Patrick Brazeau in a nationally televised boxing match, but he re-energized Liberals into believing former goals were possible. Trudeau doesn't yet have the experience, but he's smarter then many people give him credit for and he could cause the NDP headaches if he decides to throw his hat in the leadership ring.
Nycole Turmel: Quiet and unassuming, the rookie NDP MP from Aylmer, Que., was thrown into a leadership role she didn't want last August and steered the official opposition through months of difficult polling and stories about her ineffective leadership. Turmel doesn't get enough credit for keeping the NDP caucus (mostly) together after the death of Jack Layton and through the subsequent leadership race.

Skype strikes major mobile deal
Internet telephony firm Skype made its first major leap into cellphones on Tuesday, striking a deal with the largest U.S. mobile carrier Verizon Wireless.
Skype's free calls on computers have become an Internet phenomenon since the company was founded in 2002, and it has some 520 million registered users around the globe.
So far it has found little traction on wireless -- with only British operator 3 embracing it -- as most telecoms operators have seen it as a risk to their core business of voice calls.
"Verizon and Skype getting together is like Tom and Jerry making peace," said one senior telecoms industry executive, who wished not to be named.
While operators such as AT&T Inc tolerate customers using Skype applications on cellphones, Verizon is the first U.S. operator to actively push the service, which will work on phones such as Research In Motion's BlackBerry.
"This is a breakthrough," Skype Chief Executive Josh Silverman told Reuters in an interview.
"We sense a real shift in operators thinking. Some operators attitude is rapidly changing," Silverman said.
Verizon said it was looking to win new consumers with the deal.
"There are 200 million Americans that are not on our service, that drives us crazy. We think by providing this rich application we will attract a whole new group of users," John Stratton, Verizon's Chief Marketing Officer told Reuters.
"When we put out the press notification (on the press conference) on Friday we got all sorts of blog comments like 'when pigs fly', 'when hell freezes over'.
Verizon customers with data service plans will be able to use the Internet telephony service on nine different smartphone models starting next month, Verizon and Skype said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Tuesday.
The companies said they had created a Skype mobile offering for 3G smart phones allowing users to make unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls on the U.S. carrier's network as well as international calls on Skype calling rates.
"This is one way to make customers more "sticky" to Verizon - reduce churn," said Steven Nathasingh, chief executive of research firm Vaxa Inc.
He said his firm would consider switching from AT&T to Verizon due to the Skype move.

Sandy Hook Time Travel? Adam Lanza's Hat Wasn't Made Until 2013
The hat that Adam Lanza was allegedly wearing, as documented in the Connecticut State Police Final Report, was not manufactured until 2013.
Sandy Hook Time Travel? Adam Lanza's Hat Wasn't Made Until 2013
The Sandy Hook "hat trick": more twists and turns

Official State of Connecticut Forensic Report shows that Nancy Lanza NOT killed by Adam Lanza, but by 3rd party!! DNA evidence matched convicted felon!!
"tin-foilers" they screamed
what does this mean again?
It means that DNA found on the rifles, pistol grips, bullets found at the Sandy Hook crime scene does not belong to Adam Lanza or his mother.
Furthermore this report also reveals a sealed white envelope found on Adam Lanza that was addressed "For the young students of Sandy Hook Elementary School" had a convicted felons DNA on the adhesive part you lick and the back of the stamp.
It was never revealed what was contained within this envelope.
It is actually pretty solid evidence that what we were told happened that day in Sandy Hook is far from the truth.
This report was obtained by way of FOIA request by the reporter Fran Berkman and is legitimate.
The question is who the fuck is the convicted felon and why did he lick the back of the envelope and put the stamp on, and how did Lanza get it?

By: Eva Semertzaki
314 pages, no illustrations
Focuses on the role of special libraries as knowledge management centres in their organisations. It describes the work of a special library and pinpoints that the special library is the nucleus of collecting and organising knowledge which is used for the benefit of the institution. By acquiring and sharing knowledge, staff will enhance the intellectual capital of the institution. Traditionally libraries are the information centres that organise and classify information. Further on they are the proper places to create human networks and to organise the knowledge hidden in the minds of the staff. This book also examines methods to prove the value of a special library for the parent organisation when it becomes the centre to gather knowledge.

text: Of all the things that bring us sheer childlike joy—the yo-yo, the jump rope, the tree swing—the slingshot is tops. Stuffed in a back pocket and taken for a hike, it leads to endless amusement and mischief. I fell back in love with slingshots while adventuring on camping trips and bicycle tours. To kill time, my buddies and I would shoot cans, bottles, and bodies of water. Being a crafty sort of person, I thought I'd try making a few unique slingshots for myself. I got a little carried away—as I often do—and as you can see, I now make a slew of wooden slingshots along with other classic wooden toys and home goods.

A Project similar to American Birchbox.com and European Glossybox.co.uk went online in Turkey on October 1st and it is called VanilyaClub! As founders Mustafa Ekim and Beri Bener have told me, they have already started to look for investment opportunities.
The website works like this: You sign up for monthly subscription, and then receive 4-5 free trial products of latest luxury products ranging from hair care to make-up, and skin care to perfumes to your home. Users can win gift vouchers for products that like, and they can even buy them with free shipping option. Co-founder Mustafa Ekim says the website will be launched on October 1st and there are already 15,000 invitation requests.
We are all aware of the great interest women recently show in e-trading. My personal opinion is that women, particularly working women who do not have time to try new products will show great interest in this service. Vanilya Club owners chose to describe their start-up with a video.
The founders have also added they did not postpone their work on social media side and first they worked on Facebook. VanilyaClub Facebook page has already reached 8,000 users.
VanilyaClub has an exclusive offer for Webrazzi users, for the launch of the service. If you use the promotion code CVANILYACLUB on subscription, you will only pay 9 TL instead of 15 TL for the first month you use the service.
We will wait and see where VanilyaClub will position itself in the market.

Joe Theismann has a credible supporter in his quest to turn LeBron James into an NFL quarterback (and possibly represent him): LeBron James himself.
James, arguably the best player in basketball, and currently working on his second NBA title with the Miami Heat , responded to a question during a post-game interview a day before Theismann's suggestion that James would make a unique quarterback, once his basketball career is over.
"I think so," James said after Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers. "I have the ability. I can see and read plays. I study a lot, so I know defenses and things of that nature. So I would have been pretty good if I had decided to go for it."
The former Redskins QB turned broadcaster agrees.
"There's never been a quarterback like (James)," Theismann said in a recent interview with FOX Sports Florida. "Most quarterbacks, when they step on the field, look pretty much the same. But James doesn't look the same as anybody, he's such a physical presence. I don't know if any humans look like him."

Today is National Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. This "holiday" began in 2004 and coincides with Obama's writ, essentially coercing school districts across the nation to allow access to school bathroom by mental delusion rather than biological reality.
Granted, it's illegal to make it illegal for transgender students to use the opposite-sex bathroom and gang-shower in the locker room. But the federal government can still blackmail schools into complying by withholding federal education funds from non-compliant schools, the way they did with Common Core.
There is nothing new under the shower head about genderless bathrooms and locker rooms. Since the 1960s, Progressives have been agitating for Unisex bathrooms. The adults of the day, however, were educated prior to the 1960s. They hadn't succumbed to pot, heroin or speed. In other they had common sense; they had their wits about them. Unisex bathrooms promptly went down the toilet.
Our current culture has accepted new customs that would have appalled adults as early as twenty years ago. Forty years ago, no one wanted to see a transgenderite in the middle of their transition, sporting both male and female attributes. O what brave new world with such deviants in it.
Fear of lawsuits has caused school districts to knuckle under and allow such travesties to take place. Progressives have rewritten the manual on normal and gleefully defecated, figuratively speaking, on decency.
Towards the end of the 1961 film, West Side Story, leading man Tony tells the androgynous character Anybodys, "You're a girl! Go be a girl!" Today, everyone from parents to media maniacs would tell her, "You're whoever you think you are, not what parts you have at your disposal to answer Mother Nature's call."
Enough citizens with common sense are outraged and alarmed at this overturning of the natural order of necessary rooms. You go to the bathroom designated for the type of person you were born as. No attachments, no mutilations, no wigs, mustaches or Adam's apples.
For such a small minority to overturn what Progressives derisively term "norms" is an incredibly selfish and irresponsible revolution. The problems that can – and will arise – from such mixing are legion.
Predatory men will be able to enter a women's room and prey upon young girls. Or they can lay in wait in their own stalls for senseless tomboys to march into the Men's Room. Whoa to the hapless man who has no designs upon women who so much as looks at such a woman or girl in the Men's Room. Trial lawyers must be salivating.
Also of concern is the problem of hygiene – of women being forced to watch girlie men using urinals in the Ladies' Room and having to explain it to their daughters. Families, for the sake of economy, are generally forced to use one bathroom (some more affluent households may have a separate bathroom in the master bedroom). Having to use a shower after a brother has gotten through with it, or has simply used the toilet requires hazmat gear. Waiting for female household members to finish preparing themselves for the day requires endless patience and very strong kidneys from male household members.
Families all across the country can tell you it's no fun sharing the household bathroom with family members. Why on earth would they want to share a bathroom with strangers of the opposite sex, then?
Then there's the muddle-headed problem of middle school and high school students sharing non-gender bathrooms and locker rooms. You can see where that's going to lead, can't you?
"Phobic?" the Progressives taunt. You're darned right we're afraid. What parent is ever going to let their opposite-sex child enter a public restroom alone? Even back in the Sixties, our parents didn't let us go in alone, boy or girl.
The government needs to get out of our public bathrooms and school locker rooms. Just exactly where is the justice in inconveniencing and endangering the majority of people for the sake of a minority of lunatics who can't accept reality?
Let the Transbies wear Depends.

A Child's Diagnosis
Two words that look yucky together: child and diagnosis. I had the wind knocked out of me by a diagnosis of head lice two years ago, and found myself searching the night sky for clues: Why me? More recently, my eight year old was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and I had precisely the same response, although this time the anguish unfolded in Hasbro hospital instead of the vermin shampoo department of CVS. Why me?
Parenting is, of course, full of surprises of all flavors–joys and sorrows. My sorrows have always been numerous: poop got on my new sweater and our babysitter left for college and someone stole our stroller off of the porch and lice. But disease? I didn't sign up for any diseases. But we got one. So I can vouch for the cliche: Everyone Thinks This Stuff is for Other People but it is Quite Possibly for All of Us. (Sorry.)
It started in August with a shortage of drinking glasses. We were always running out. I noticed Bud using the water dispenser in the fridge door a lot, but it didn't seem strange. It was hot. We were all thirsty.
Later in August, we went to the Boston Museum of Science. There were Tamarin monkeys, but Bud seemed distracted and didn't want to observe them for long. Instead, he wanted to go to the bubbler. Soon after, right in the middle of a childbirth movie, he asked for another drink. Partway through a really cool exhibit on optical illusions, he wanted to go to the bubbler again. And then again, after much too short a time watching billiard balls careen through the Museum's giant Rube Goldberg contraption.
And so, after many drinks, bathroom breaks, futile nudges of encouragement, and possibly a tiny scrap of enthusiasm for science, we agreed that we'd had, as a family, enough of whatever it was we'd been attempting to experience at the Museum of Science.
On the way up to the top of the parking garage, our older son was chatting away about the Museum's live owl show, and did they really used to make orange juice from a can and dilute it with water, and on the way home can we listen to Judge John Hodgman? Eventually I noticed that Bud was silent and slowing down. He was attempting to rest his head on the staircase's grubby metal handrail. I stopped holding his hand, and held him instead near the armpit, like a bouncer. Come on, honey. He started to cry. "Water! Water! I need water!" It was obvious something was way off.
Entering the hospital felt like a scam, but everyone working there seemed to think we belonged. It was as if they'd been expecting us. The room, the equipment, the staff were all lined up and ready. They gave us each an ID bracelet and that was it: we were admitted to Hasbro Children's Hospital. Where the unlucky people go with their children.
Each medical professional we met spoke as if Bud was a genuine patient. The blonde doctor in the ER with the Barcelona accent. The head resident in green tennis shoes with mustard-yellow piping. The nurses bustling in and out to hunt for one good vein on Bud's inner elbows. They gave him an IV. That seemed extreme. Kind people told us different numbers that meant nothing to us, and said how lucky we were that we brought Bud in when we did, before his health had deteriorated further. It all seemed a bit over the top.
I was sure a laboratory error would be discovered and we'd laugh all they way home. Why did this hospital persist in wanting us so much? The feeling was familiar, like being asked to square dance in fifth grade by a clueless, swaggering boy with dandruff and B.O. He thinks I'm going to dance with him?! I am so out of here.
My first whisper of an inkling that the hospital people knew something came once we were out of the ER and up on the fifth floor, where the certifiably sick children go. Bud was hooked up to a tangle of tubes. Wearing a children's hospital-issue pajama top featuring a pattern of bears or dogs or bear-dogs. No longer begging for water. Watching Dennis the Menace on DVD. Calmly requesting a bean and cheese burrito.
In the three months since then, Bud has become completely accustomed to injections and blood tests, and his dad and I have become almost completely accustomed to administering them. We have a somewhat complicated rigamarole of eating/insulin/always having medicine on hand, and have close email relationships with both the school nurse and the pediatric endocrinology team at Hasbro. It all feels pretty normal.
Now that diabetes is firmly situated in our lives, the world feels so full of potential. For disaster–so many bad things might happen! It's self indulgent and shameful, but my mind wanders to all of the things going haywire in other kids we know, and whirls up a soothing list of things to which I prefer Type 1 diabetes. I inventory this mental list for comfort, whenever I'm beginning to feel cursed. The list includes, but is not limited to: cancer, congenital heart conditions, deafness, autism spectrum disorders, obesity, warts, ADHD, peanut allergy, wheelie sneakers, dirty fingernails, extremely chapped lips, and Pixar motif backpacks.
Given the choice, any reasonable parent would saddle their child with a Lightning McQueen bag rather than a chronic disease. But no parent would trade their sick kid for a healthy one, because then it wouldn't be their kid anymore. I've spent many sleepless nights wishing diabetes away, but I've settled into believing a Bud without diabetes wouldn't really be a Bud at all. And so we happily accept diabetes and whatever else comes with the package, fingers crossed that we get to keep the kid.

A wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing! (My brother was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 12. I recall watching him chug whole gallons of juice with the fridge door open. We all had to learn to inject oranges! He is 34 now and doing just fine.)
thank you so much for sharing this piece of your heart, katy. it is just beautifully written.
Thank you for sharing this story of your life. Our son was diagnosed last month with epilepsy–your experiences resonated with me in every way.
I love the honest thought in this post. I can barely imagine what you've gone through.
I am the diabetic around here. The diabetic mom. The mom who's had diabetes since she was 8. The mom who kicked herself for years (& sometimes still does) b/c she passed out multiple times when her two sons were babies. 🙁
You hang in there. It will get better. And it will get worse. But the worse times don't last forever either. 🙂
My boys are now 18 & 23 and this mama is hoping that soon 23yo & his wife will make me a diabetic gramma. 😉
Diabetes sucks. Life doesn't.
God bless you & yours!

beautifully written article!

be aware that the payer can initiate a complaint about the transaction and PayPal will freeze or remove the money from your account without notice until the issue is resolved. If I were being paid thru PayPal I would set up a separate bank account strictly for this and then sweep the money out into my primary account as soon as it was received. From what I have heard, if they put a hold on your money it is a serious headache.

As a teenager, Granen witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of elder abuse when her family discovered that a close relative had horribly mistreated her grandmother, who was afflicted with Alzheimer's.
In the years that followed, the tribulations her grandmother faced stuck with her as she started to contemplate her future.
"My parents raised me with an interest in serving the public but my dad was a prosecutor and for the longest time that made me never want to be a lawyer," mused Granen. After her father's death several years ago, however, she started to contemplate a legal career and interned with JusticeCorps while an undergraduate at UC Berkeley. She enjoyed working with the low-income litigants and decided she wanted to help people through the practice of law.
Once at UC Hastings, Granen started to focus on elder advocacy. "I'm a firm believer that you can be passionate about a topic in general but not necessarily be good at the work," she said. To test her commitment, she devoted a great deal of time to exploring elder law. She spent a couple of semesters at UC Hastings' Medical-Legal Partnership for Seniors Clinic (MLPS) where she conducted research and helped senior clients navigate matters involving consumer debt, estate planning and public benefits. She also advocated for elder abuse victims and researched public benefits at Legal Assistance for Seniors and performed investigative work and legal research to support the initiatives of Justice in Aging.
At the urging of a few of her law professors, Granen applied for the Borchard Fellowship in Law & Aging last spring. The mission of the Borchard Foundation Center on Law & Aging is to improve the quality of life for elderly people, particularly those who are disadvantaged. Every year, the Foundation sponsors and oversees the work of a few recent law school graduates who desire to pursue an academic or legal career in elder law.
"Krista is a true leader who is genuinely humble and limitlessly empathetic, yet also fierce and relentless in her advocacy for those in need," said Professor Yvonne Troya, who supervised Granen during her time at MLPS. "She learned to spot the multiple overlapping legal issues that caused her older adult clients stress and tackled each one as she handled her clients' cases from start to finish."
Granen's fellowship project at Bay Area Legal Aid revolves around social security, which is her target population's main source of income and benefits, and consumer protection, given the increasing number of financial fraud and abuse crimes perpetrated against senior citizens.
In addition to providing direct services to clients during her fellowship, her primary goal is to launch a mobile clinic in Santa Clara County. "I noticed during my work at MLPS that seniors' physical and mental capacities can be impaired when they're exhausted from traveling, so I want to focus on meeting seniors where they're at," said Granen. She intends to visit assisted living communities, nursing homes and other facilities where the elderly live and congregate so that she can educate them on issues affecting their financial security.
Although Granen has just started the fellowship and does not yet know what the future will bring, she hopes that the mobile clinic she establishes will last long after her fellowship has ended. Given her passion and determination, such an outcome seems well within reach.

Bad posture can negatively influence your health – this is not arguable. Correct resting posture is essential in the event you are aiming to fix posture imbalances and decrease back, neck, and shoulder discomfort. By creating modifications to the positions where you rest during the night, you can really minimize postural stress and remove a significant reason for discomfort! By decreasing the stress on specific parts of your body, particularly the neck, shoulders, and back, whilst resting 7-9 hours throughout the night, your posture will enhance, consequently will your general wellbeing.
Your Mattress
Your mattress will not support you after 8-10 years at maximum – even if it is the extremely best 1 on the market. Sorry, however it holds true. Whilst I don't back a certain brand, the extremely best one for you personally will be something that is firm, while providing you great assistance and an excellent night's sleep. In the event you pick one that is exceedingly firm, whilst it might benefit your spinal column, in the event you cannot relaxation, that will be bad for your health – and individuals you socialize with.
You ought to likewise frequently turn your mattress so the inner springs stay new. Some mattress makers even suggest that you simply turn your item from http://bestmemoryfoammattress1.bravesites.com/ so the top is at the base and vice versa. They suggest you do this every 6 weeks or two.
Your Pillow
This is among the most challenging questions I get asked each day – "What is the very best pillow?" The response is constantly, "It is dependent upon how your relaxation." Your pillow ought to support your neck whether or not you are on your side or back. I personally like a pillow that is a little uncommon in its shape- the Align-Rite pillow – it is determined to your size and really has research behind its efficiency of assisting with decreasing discomfort – which is why it is the only pillow I believe in suggesting.
Resting Position
Prevent resting face down whatsoever expenses – whilst it may fit – it will trigger years of discomfort down the road. We weren't produced to relaxation with our heads wrenched to one side night following night. While I will confess that face down resting posture is not a simple modification, it can be carried out. Gradually your poor apply will alter and you will be considerably much healthier for it!
Back & Side Resting
The very best position for resting is rotating in between your aspect and your back (which normally takes place instantly through the entire night). In the event you begin on your back, a low pillow must be utilized to ensure that your head and neck are not pressed forward excessive (which adds to forward head posture (FHP)). Positioning a pillow beneath your knees will take some stress off your low back, which will assist avoid low back pain and sciatica.
For side sleeping, the extremely best sleeping posture is that your pillow fit you! If your pillow is too thin, your head will flex to the mattress and if it is too thick your head will flex to the ceiling – both less than perfect situations if you are attempting to stay healthy, appropriate your posture, and from discomfort. Your head needs to be located parallel to the foundation of your bed, not bent down to your chest.

This Blinding Absence of LightBook - 2002
An immediate and critically acclaimed bestseller in France and winner of the 2004 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, This Blinding Absence of Light is the latest work by Tahar Ben Jelloun, the first North African winner of the Prix Goncourt and winner of the 1994 Prix Mahgreb. Ben Jelloun crafts a horrific real-life narrative into fiction to tell the appalling story of the desert concentration camps in which King Hassan II of Morocco held his political enemies under the most harrowing conditions. Not until September 1991, under international pressure, was Hassan's regime forced to open these desert hellholes. A handful of survivors--living cadavers who had shrunk by over a foot in height--emerged from the six-by-three-foot cells in which they had been held underground for decades.
Working closely with one of the survivors, Ben Jelloun eschewed the traditional novel format and wrote a book in the simplest of language, reaching always for the most basic of words, the most correct descriptions. The result is a shocking novel that explores both the limitlessness of inhumanity and the impossible endurance of the human will.

During Friday's preseason game, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham drew two penalties for dunking the football over the cross bar of the goalposts bringing the player to finally admit, "I just got to stop doing that now."
After each of two scoring receptions, Graham leaped up and dunked the ball over the cross bar of the goalposts. But starting this season, this is against the rules and with each display of exuberance Graham earned his team a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff.
Along with drawing the penalties, Graham drew the ire of coach Sean Payton as the two were seen in a heated exchange after the player's second incident.
This isn't the first time that Graham ever dunked a football, though. "For four years and however many touchdowns, I always dunked it," Graham said.
Coach Payton didn't seem too worried about Graham, though.
"I'm his biggest fan," Payton said after the game. "I'm sure as we get going here that type of thing isn't going to be a problem. Rules are changing constantly whether we like them or voted for them or any of those things. He's outstanding. He'll be ready to go."
Still, Graham revealed that he didn't understand why such showboating is now a penalty.
"Some people were saying it all was (all too much showboating)," Graham said in a press conference after the game. "I mean, it's a penalty and some kind of fine…. it's unfortunate because I'm not hurting anybody."
The Saints beat the Tennessee Titans 31-24 in Friday's preseason game.

LILacrossenews.com, Posted 10/29/13
From Press Release
After shattering national, conference and school records during its most successful season in program history last spring, the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team impressed during fall ball competition.
Stony Brook opened play with wins over Villanova, C.W. Post and NYAC at the Nicholas Colleluori Women's Classic hosted by Hofstra Sept. 22. Funds raised during the event went to the HEADstrong Foundation, an organization dedicated to assisting blood cancer patients and their families.
The squad earned two wins over Iona and one over Drexel before hosting former Seawolves for an alumnae game Oct. 5. Stony Brook took down USC Oct. 6 and UMass, Yale and conference foe New Hampshire the following weekend.
The Seawolves wrapped up their fall ball slate at the BC Play day Oct. 26th, where they posted strong showings against three fellow 2013 NCAA Tournament teams in Boston College, UConn and UMass and former America East rival Boston University. SB beat the Minutewomen for the second time during the fall season and also topped Boston College and tied BU and UConn.
Joe Spallina, who is entering his third year at the helm, is the architect of the Stony Brook program that has produced a meteoric rise to national prominence in two seasons. Taking over a team that won only four games in 2011, Spallina had the Seawolves defeating a nationally ranked opponent in John's Hopkins, appearing in the national rankings themselves for the first time in program history and competing for an America East title in just his first season.
The encore was even more spectacular. In 2013, Stony Brook won a school record 17 games, recorded a victory over Towson in its first NCAA Tournament game and cracked the top-10 in both major national polls. The Seawolves also won their first-ever America East tournament and outright regular-season crowns.
Frankie Caridi, a 2013 second-team all-region selection who was recently hailed as one of the "best goalies in the nation" by ILWomen.com editor Dani Bernstein, topped an America East mark and posted the best goals against average (5.71) in the country on her way to first-team all-conference honors. She was the nation's leader in save percentage at .530.
The Seawolves also return starters Alyssa Fleming and Maegan Meritz from their defensive unit that broke an all-time Division I record for scoring defense (5.65 goals allowed per game), held national runner-up Maryland to its two lowest goal totals of the season (11, 5/12 and 8, 3/17) and set a conference tournament record for fewest goals allowed during the two-game span (7) last season. Fleming was named to second-team all-conference and to the America East and Synapse All-Rookie squads, while Meritz showed versatility and was instrumental on the clear.
Stony Brook welcomes back three of its top five goal scorers from 2013 in juniors Michelle Rubino and Amber Kupres and senior Emily Mercier, who will lead a speedy, athletic midfield line that has become a hallmark of the team under Spallina. Rubino was third on the squad with 34 goals and second with 57 draw controls last season and already sits fourth all-time at SB with 151 career draws. Kupres stashed away 31 goals and was second on the team with 41 ground balls, the 10th-most in Stony Brook single-season history, while Mercier tallied 28 goals and was a one-woman clearing machine.
SB adds a decorated class of 15 newcomers, including 14 freshmen, to the fold as it looks to become a mainstay on the national scene and play deep into May every season. The talented group features six student-athletes who have previously been named All-Americans, five selections to ESPN's Watch List and multiple state champions and team captains. The lone transfer, midfielder Jenna Davis comes to Stony Brook for her fifth year of eligibility after helping Princeton reach the NCAA Tournament last season.

Architectural Elements Gallery
Artist Statement: The wall art prints in this gallery are a collection of various architectural elements.
The look is unique as I used a variety of watercolor and oil painting techniques. The different techniques create totally different visual experiences for a variety of interior designs. Many of the styles can be used in different decors depending on the way the art print is matted and framed. The final presentation can make a world of difference allowing the print to either stand out as a focal point or blend in with the rest of the room as a complimentary addition to the overall look.
My approach to the prints in this gallery was to present a variety of architectural elements from different structures. The structures include buildings from New England, barns from Iowa, covered bridges from Oregon, various structures around Seattle and an old adobe ranch from Texas.
I would like to note that I am available for custom work in printing an art print for you. I have re-cropped prints to fit a specific size for a client and added wider white matting so a print can be immediately put into an existing frame with a matted look. An example of this would be some of the black and white photography art prints. I left some of those prints with the wide white matting look. My pricing is based on the ultimate size of the print and not the extra work to customize. I believe this is one of the advantages I have in my gallery since I do my own printing.
I invite you to share in my love of art and take some of these art prints home for your own Wall Gallery! Kirt Tisdale

Dear Interested,
If you don't need your life insurance policy any longer, are having a difficult time keeping up with the premium payments or could just use the money, a life settlement is definitely an option worth considering.
How it works
What? I'm expected to be the "best parent" without a manual to learn from? When I buy anything other than groceries or clothes, there is always a manual or an instructional book provided to help learn how this thing should work, and what to do when it doesn't.
But, I'm expected to raise this "thing," or "child," to make it sound human, and be able to do it with little to no previous experience.

The seed treatment market is projected to record a CAGR of 10.6% from 2014 to 2019. The estimation is a result of regular research & development in the industry, with increase in application of seed treatment in different industries.
(PRWEB) July 25, 2014
The seed treatment market is projected to record a CAGR of 10.6% from 2014 to 2019. The estimation is a result of regular research & development in the industry, with increase in application of seed treatment in different industries. Seed treatment chemicals dominate the market in terms of value and market awareness of new target crops such as alfalfa and canola.
The seed treatments market is broadly divided on the basis of application as fungicidal seed treatments, insecticidal seed treatments and other (crop enhancement) seed treatments, for this study. With a huge market potential and growing preference for seed treatment, the market is likely to witness considerable growth in the years to come. In 2013, corn acquired the largest share as a target crop; however, the market for soybean is projected to grow at the highest rate. Complete report is available at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/seed-treatment-market-trends-global-forecasts-2011-2016-market-report.html.
In agriculture and horticulture, a seed treatment or seed dressing is a chemical, typically antimicrobial or fungidal, with which seeds are treated (or "dressed") prior to planting. Less frequently insecticides are added. Seed treatments can be an environmentally more friendly way of using pesticides as the amounts used can be very small. It is usual to add colour to make treated seed less attractive to birds if spilt and easier to see and clean up in the case of an accidental spillage.
The key companies discussed in this seed treatment market report are Bayer Cropscience Ag, E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company, Monsanto, BASF Se, Advanced Biological Marketing, Morflora, Novozymes A/S, Nufarm Limited, Sumitomo Chemical Company Limited and Chemtura Corporation. Order a copy of this report at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/contacts/purchase?rname=62720.
Seed coating is a thicker form of covering of seed and may contain fertiliser, growth promoters and or seed treatment as well as an inert carrier and a polymer outer shell. Seed dressing is also used to refer to the process of removing chaff, weed seeds and straw from a seed stock. Care is needed not to confuse the two.
Factors such as cost, ease of application, innovative production practices, new product offerings, increased availability, and an advent of new pests are increasing the market for seed treatment industry, globally. Corn, soybean, and cereal crops are the major crops behind the current seed treatment market growth; however, there is a rising trend for the use of seed treatments on vegetables, rice, sugar beet, cotton, and oilseed crops. All the functions of seed treatment have been considered for this study and the market has been segmented and distributed based on the same. The growth rate may go higher in the next five years with regular investment in research & development, resulting in new products that have different applications.

My response to Benson's "What is 'Postmodernism'?"
I think a better question might be "why is there postmodernism?" I see
the author's point in saying there is no such thing as postmodernism
but there is something very real happening in western society today.
That is why a number of missionaries and church planters have
reexamined the church structure, the focus of our mission and even the
authenticity of our message. The sad reality is, whatever age we are in
seems to have caustic effect on evangelical churches. Those who are
more likely to be labeled "postmodern" are less likely to be
evangelical. The big question for many of us is why.
a member of a generation that is often labeled "postmodern" I'd say my
"Incredulity to a metanarrative" comes from two main things:
Hundreds of conflicting metanarratives demanding my exclusive allegiance
A loss of trust in established authority (family, school, government, church, media etc…)
first one is easy to understand. If I were try to buy a car and I
consulted salespeople from Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Ford, Lincoln,
Toyota, Honda, Acura, BMW and Volkswagen and each of them told me they
had the best car for me which one would I believe?
I am most
likely to view all the data from my biased perspective. I'm a Chev man
with a grudging respect for Toyotas and Hondas. The Ford guy might have
offered me the best deal possible on a Taurus but because I'm a Chev
guy and I'd have to eat way too many words if I drove a Ford I would
convince myself some other car is the better deal.
I am also
likely to have a inherent distrust of anyone telling me something in
order to make money. I know the salesperson is highly motivated to get
me to make a decision and strongly biased.
Ultimately I wouldn't know who to believe.
think this illustrates why "postmodernism" exists. We have hundreds if
not thousands of competing ideologies, approaches, and philosophies in
an increasingly pluralistic culture and people don't know what to
believe. Logically either one of these voices is right or none of them
are right. Some are more right than others. In response to this people
begin to pick and choose what they want from each stream of thought and
cobble together their own worldview.
The second factor stems
from a distrust of accepted sources of authority and truth. If
politicians lie, and the media misrepresent, and one of the people who
were supposed to raise me left it begins to wear down ones confidence
in any voice claiming to hold an exclusive claim to the truth. When a
significant portion of a generation loses a parent in childhood it has
a dramatic affect on how society views authority and truth. Even though
kids may not be able to articulate it, deep down they know they were
wronged. If they are wronged by those who ought to have been the most
faithful to them they are naturally disinclined to trust others in the
same way.
