About Patricia M.Close
View Full Profile
Using the classic European Atelier Style of teaching, I start all students with basic drawing, tone and color theory before embarking on either water color or oil painting. This is to ensure that the students have a solid foundation upon which to apply color to achieve the desire d effects. No amount of pretty color will make up for a poorly constructed work. Students learn to create dimensional illusions by understanding the principles of perspective, light and dark and various techniques.

I originally took her lesson because I had an audition for Christmas Carol, and I wanted to at least go over the song I was going to use. Instead, she gave me another song to sing for the audition. I have never been able to get in a show where singing is the main dish; however, after her advise with the new song, I was thrilled to see an email from the casting director when I was chosen to be in the show! I can never thank enough her for this. :D

I teach sketching, painting (watercolor, oil and acrylic) to children 5-10 years of age as way to release stress, gain confidence, and express themselves!
All materials are provided, but students are welcome to bring their own brushes, paints, paper, etc. if they so desire.
About Julia
My instruction extends nationwide, with students from all corners of the US, utilizing online tutoring services such as Skype.
My main field of study is in MATH (trig, algebra, geometry, precalculus), CHEMISTRY (high school and college), and PHYSICS (high school and college).
I completed my Bachelors in Physics and Mathematics Education at Hunter University and have gained experience with both in-person and online group instruction and curriculum development.
Some examples of the students I have tutored are: Elementary school students preparing for State competitions and exams; High school and College students in preparance for entrance exams, and in subjects such as algebra, geom
I do Regents and SAT/ACT prep for these subjects as well as the GRE (These are NYS based High School Preparatory Exams - do not hesitate to ask should you need assistance with the ones offered in your state/country).
In addition, I am thorough and meticulous, by paying special attention to how the student grasps information and retains it, I prepare individualized handwritten reviews, with supplemental material found online and in texts.
I assign homework to keep my students ahead of what is going on in class, and a visual and intuitive understanding of the concepts I present is important to me, so I use visual aids (diagrams and interactive models) to help my students integrate what they learn with me in real life situations.
My instruction includes:
1. Tutoring based on the school curriculum
2. Instruction on the home-schooling curriculum
3. Assisting those with a gap in going back to school/university.
I start with an assessment based on what the student has trouble with or last remembers covering in school, and prepare material going from there.
As a result, my students all have improved grades without any need for cramming before tests, and I encourage a stress-free and easygoing learning environment.
My lessons are fun and enthusiastic - these subjects are beautiful and will help open your mind to new ways of thinking - whatever your field of study!

I see marked improvements in their grades for this past year, and my eldest is actually skipping fourth grade as a result of lessons. I am astounded as to my girls' progress, and greatly appreciative of our tutor's expertise.
Her patient, methodical approach to teaching is why I see us remaining with her for all of our educational instruction. She has already taught arithmetic to my youngest (3rd grade), and algebra to my eldest (starting 5th this sept!), and is proceeding with more advanced math with no issue whatsoever. I cannot recommend her enough.

Race Face Next SL Crank Arms - Fat Bike $459.99
Lightweight for fatties.
It seems paradoxical to pursue low-weight gear when you're riding a fat bike, but just because the tires and wheels are big and heavy doesn't mean everything else on the bike needs to weigh more. In fact, those jolly fat tires mean that the other components should try even harder to lose weight. The Next SL Cranks Arms for Fat Bikes, which Race Face claims constitute the lightest production carbon crankset in the industry, do just that.
The Next SL Crank Arms omit a spider, so you can customize it to your tastes with a spider for multiple gears or a direct-bolt, one-by chain ring. This modularity speaks to the ever-changing standards of the industry, which routinely make top-end equipment obsolete after only a few seasons of use. Race Face makes aluminum spiders for all manner of setups, so the Next SL Crank Arms are currently compatible with anything from a direct mount one-by to a triple with the optional aluminum spider. This virtually limitless compatibility also all but guarantees them to be future proof. This is an investment that'll stay with you for years and years of use.
The arms themselves are made from hollow carbon with no aluminum spine or filler material for the lowest weight possible. While the arms are pretty cool, the real star here is arguably the redesigned spindle. It's been beefed up from 24 to 30 millimeters, which lets Race Face use what it's calling a super aluminum that is 20% stronger than the usual 7050 alloy. That means less material for equal stiffness, which the increased diameter also helps with.

Will these in 170mm spacing version fit a fatboy carbon frame?
Best cranks on the market
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These cranks came OE on my Borealis XX1 fatty and they are hands down the best crankset on the market right now. Ultra stiff and they get tons of compliments. I would recommend getting the Race Face booties that protect against pedal strikes. Tell all of your friends!

Spring has officially arrived.
That may mean it's going to rain for at least the next month in the Midwest. But there are daffodils. And some open windows. And random sunny days. And the chance to decorate the house for a new season. (You already know I believe in the power of seasonal decorating.)
So life is good. Rainy. And good.
I'm a bit of a holiday traditionalist. A literalist. When Easter and spring are here, there are eggs and pastels and bunnies. So for now, we'll enjoy the little burst of springtime inside.
I swapped out the mantel for some lighter decor – including the DIY sign that hung in our last bedroom and some lovely green candle holders I picked locally on clearance.
The rest of the living room just got a little lightening and brightening.
And dining room also got a little springtime boost.
I like confining some seasonal decor to the tray on the center of the table. Nothing fancy, but there are eggs and flowers and a bunny. So, we passed the Easter test.
The kitchen got a few touches of spring, too.
It's simple, but I guess that's the point. Simple and pretty.
And of course fresh flowers are a must.
And the open shelves got a hefty dose of springtime. This is one of my favorite areas to decorate in the new house. There's plenty of space – which is fun and sometimes a challenge.
Even the bedroom got a little touch of spring – I changed out the bedding and added some boxwood wreaths under the windmill.
And that's how I added a little touch of spring to our home.
Now, I hope you'll stop by some of the 24 other creative and home bloggers sharing home tours today – you will leave with plenty of inspiration for your own home.

Of the 800-odd students who will be completing various under-graduate and post-graduate engineering courses in May, only 250 have been able to bag jobs through campus interviws. Big players like Wipro and Infosys haven�t bothered to turn up yet.
�By this time last year, and the year before, most students had been assured jobs through campus interviews. We don�t know how long we will have to wait for a job this time,� said Sumit Bhattacharya, a final-year student.
Of the 500 under-graduate students who passed out in 2001, around 490 had been recruited on campus. �So far, around 235 students have won placements. Companies like Wipro and Infosys have not approached us yet, which is quite unusual. But we will have to bear with it, as all this is a fallout of the global slowdown,� said Shyamal Kumar Sanyal, dean of engineering and technology faculty, JU.
The present slump is alarming, but not altogether unexpected. Wipro, which had shown interest in a large number of students from JU in 2001, deferred and cancelled several appointments following the IT downturn.
Sanyal, however, refused to give up hope: �We are expecting the situation to improve. There is still time for more firms to approach us.�
Over the past two years, almost all engineers graduating from JU had been �satisfactorily placed� through campus interviews. This time, while some have steered clear, one registered a no-show. Texas Instruments had even fixed an interview date. �We kept waiting for Texas to turn up, but no one did,� said one of the students.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has proved a �big let-down�. Last year, the firm had recruited �around 50 students�. This time, the figure has dropped to �about 20�, sources said.
Companies like Planet Asia, Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS), Tata Infotech and HCL have, however, picked up a �good number of students�, with CTS alone recruiting over 85, sources added.
The poor response from the industry has pushed engineering students to the edge. �My friends are staring at the frightful prospect of having to finish their exams and then entering the intensely-competitive job market,� said Sumanta Banerjee, a final-year student, who has landed a job with CTS.
With on-campus recruitment falling well short of the desired mark, students have urged the authorities �not to delay� publication of the final-semester results. �Even though the exams are held in May, the grade cards are distributed to students after around two months. This time, we cannot afford to waste any time after out exams. Each day could prove vital,� said a student.
Registrar Rajat Banerjee, however, is �confident� that despite the low recruitment rate this year, it will not be much of a problem for JU students to get good job offers. �Most of our students are brilliant and I am sure all of them will get good opportunities, even if the campus recruitment figures do not match the previous years,� said Banerjee.
Barun Sarkar, the �criminal cop� arrested on January 29 for duping an employee of a private firm of Rs 17,000 in Lalbazar, had extracted around Rs 60,000 from three businessmen in the past four months.
After picking him up last Tuesday, police raided his Latbagan quarters, where they found forged rubber stamps and letter pads of the deputy commissioners of the detective department and the special branch, fake identity cards of senior police officers and three cellular phones.
�He (Sarkar) is a rogue constable who has extorted several thousands of rupees, tampered with documents, forged bills and cheated the state exchequer,�� said additional director general, armed police, Ranjit Mohanty.
Sarkar, a constable with the 6th Battalion of the state armed police, had come under a cloud even while serving as a security guard to the deputy inspector-general of police, traffic, from August 30, 1996, to April 29, 2000. He had been suspended from service, but was reinstated within a month.
According to a special report prepared by the state armed police, Barun Sarkar (number C/590), was placed under suspension on May 17, 2000, for �indiscpline and misconduct.��
But he was �released from suspension�� on June 30, 2000, apparently at the intervention of a senior officer. �I have directed my officers to probe why Sarkar was hastily absolved of the charges,�� Mohanty added.
In the course of investigations, it became clear that Sarkar would regularly use his uniform to extort money. �A couple of months ago, he extracted Rs 20,000 from a businessman in Bhowanipore.
A complaint was registered in Bhowanipore thana. The victim was brought to Hare Street police station, where he identified Sarkar as the policeman who had taken the money from him,�� said deputy commissioner of police, central, Zulfiquar Hasan. The constable had apparently duped two people, one in Sealdah and another in Gariahat, last month.
�Sarkar was issued a government-owned service revolver, bearing butt number 38, along with 24 rounds of .38-calibre ammunition,�� the report states. It was found that he would keep the service revolver and ammunition even when off-duty.
According to police rules, constables are to deposit their service revolver and cartridges at the nearest police station after duty hours. �He used the service revolver to extort money,�� a police officer admitted.
Investigations also revealed that while working as security guard, Sarkar drew bills worth Rs 40,000 by furnishing a forged bill (no. 442/99-2000 TAR no. 9/2000).
Time: 12 noon.
Place: Howrah General Hospital emergency ward.
A few men bring in a woman, who�s clutching her stomach and doubling up in pain. They look for the doctor and, finding no one, seek a nurse�s help. The nurse directs them to a door. �You�ll find them in there,� she says, pointing to the restroom, where the hospital�s doctors are glued to the TV, watching the fifth One-Day International between India and England, in Delhi.
The men find the door bolted from within. They approach another which, though not locked, has a gatekeeper blocking entry.
�It�s an order,� he says. �The doctors have told me not to let anyone through,� he adds.
On Sunday, health secretary Asim Barman said he will seek a detailed report on what had happened at Howrah�s largest hospital on Thursday. �We are determined not to let things go on like this,� he said, as complaints continued to pour in against doctors who, patients said, were �busy� watching the Mumbai ODI.
This correspondent, present on the spot on Thursday, went in to inform the doctors of a patient awaiting treatment outside their restroom. Around 12 of them were sprawled across the room; some on hospital beds, others on benches. The small screen was the centre of attention.
The doctors heard out what was said. Their polite response was: �We have grown used to patients pestering us all day. If you really want to do something for the woman, please contact the superintendent.�
One of the doctors added: �When we go to meet the district magistrate or the superintendent of police, we, too, are treated similarly. Shouldn�t work ethics begin from the top?�
Superintendent H.K. Chanda admitted the incident was �very unfortunate. But what else can I say?� he asked, throwing up his hands. �Not all doctors, however, are like this,� he claimed.
On Sunday, complaints poured in about similar scenes at Howrah General Hospital. The response from a senior physician standing in for Chanda: �We have tried to remedy things.� Most of the doctors were working on Sunday, he claimed. �It may be that two or three are still not obeying our directives,� he said.
Health secretary Barman, however, was not convinced. �If anyone is found guilty of shirking work, he will not be spared,� Barman promised.
STAR has launched a co-branding joint-venture scheme with cable networks, designed to transform the cableman into a full-fledged service provider to the household. �We want to give the cable guy a complete image makeover, giving him credibility and reliability,� explains Peter Mukerjea, chief executive, India, STAR India Pvt Ltd.
By using the operator in 15 cities to provide value-added services, STAR hopes to expand the �Rs 5,000-crore market to Rs 10,000 crore in the next two-three years�. Mukerjea feels the cableman is sitting on �a goldmine� � access to around a lakh homes � without even realising it.
To start with, STAR is targeting �one major network� in each of these cities for the affiliated programme. In Calcutta, the broadcaster has first tied up with Howrah Cable Network, an independent service provider, for the joint-marketing exercise that could well serve to �organise and clean up� the business.
The network staff is trained in technology and customer service, gets a branded tool-kit, uniforms, walkie-talkies, ID cards and accident insurance up to a lakh of rupees. �We are trying to educate them and give them an identity, so that the viewers can rely on them for value-added services. Now, they are being imparted training on hardware and taught to be prompt and courteous. Later, we plan to provide them with software to help them improve content,� says STAR India�s eastern region distribution chief Rajeev Sharma.
The Howrah Cable Network is happy with this marriage of convenience. �It has lifted the image of our ground staff in the eyes of our subscribers and they are treated with more respect when they turn up in their smart uniforms,� says network managing director Dilip Pandey.
Mukerjea feels this formula offers a win-win situation for all. �If you look at the US model, you have the big brands like TCI and AT&T. When somebody walks in with an AT&T hat on, you don�t mind letting him into your home,� stresses the STAR boss.
The STAR management feels this coalition recipe can also help tackle the �menace� of under-declaration. �The operators do themselves the biggest disservice by being penny wise, pound foolish. They try and under-declare a bit here and there and then, are not able to go to the banks or financial institutions to borrow money. The banks are reluctant to provide loans because the cableman is seen as some kind of a dodgy character. We need to change that perception,� says Mukerjea.
University registrar P.K. Roy said on Sunday that the first, third and fifth semester examinations will start on February 6.
All these examinations, originally scheduled for December 24, were postponed after the clashes. The exams slated for December 28 will now be held on and from February 8.
Examinations for final-year students will be held on February 11 and 12 and all supplementary tests on February 7.
Former dean of engineering and applied science faculties, BE College (Deemed University), Parimal Jyoti Roy Chowdhury, was erroneously referred to as Amaljyoti Roy Choudhury in Sunday�s edition.
Roadblock over disease outbreakTraffic on Topsia Road came to a halt for four hours as local residents blocked the road from 11 am, demanding installation of more pumps to drain out water on the streets. Overflowing sewer channels have resulted in an outbreak of enteric disease and diarrhoea in Topsia. More than a dozen people have been admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital and National Medical College Hospital from C.N. Roy Road, Sapgachhi First Lane and Topsia Road. Member, mayor-in-council, health, Javed Ahmed Khan, feared a more acute outbreak of diarrhoea as filtered water lines were getting contaminated. To check the flow of the run-off water into the Topsia stormwater channel, all tanneries in the locality have been asked to suspend production, he said. The storm water channels carry sewer water of Ballygunge pumping station to the Vidyadhari river.
Ranikuthi market cave-inThere was panic at Ranikuthi market, in Tollygunge, run by the Corporation, after cracks developed on the walls and a portion caved in on Saturday night. Mayor Subrata Mukherjee and member, mayor-in-council, water, Sovandeb Chattopadhyay, visited the market on Sunday. The market was built almost a decade ago after filling a portion of a tank, measuring about six cottahs.
Three in custodyPolice have detained three persons for interrogation in the Pranendra Roy Choudhury murder case in Lake Gardens. According to deputy commissioner of police, south, Kuldip Singh, investigation is in the final stages. Two of the detained youths have told investigators that Pranendra was involved in a relationship, which could have been the reason behind the murder.
Constable suicideA constable of the Special Branch, D. Thapa, shot himself in the head with his service revolver at the police barracks on AJC Bose Road.
Water workshopA workshop on the quality of drinking water and community garbage management in Joka was organised by Joka Organisation for Protection of Environment and Development on Sunday.
Sources in the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC) said though Roy had organised the anti-hawker drive and instructed officials about it, she suddenly �disappeared� on Friday afternoon. Municipal commissioner Debasis Som, who issued the clean-up order on Friday afternoon, sent officers in search of her, as her signature was required on the file okaying the drive.
But Roy could not be located and so Som and the civic officials asked mayor Subrata Mukherjee to intervene. The drive was conducted only after Mukherjee signed the file at 10.30 pm on Friday at his Gariahat residence.
�I don�t understand Mala�s approach. She told me on Friday afternoon that she had made all the arrangements and issued all the instructions for the drive,� said mayor Mukherjee.
Roy, however, said disclaimed all knowledge about the drive.�I have no idea about the clean-up and I have no comment on the issue,� she said on Sunday. CMC officials claimed she disassociated herself from the drive for fear of incurring Banerjee�s wrath.
Councillors close to the mayor fear Friday�s drive will spark another confrontation between Mukherjee and Mamata.
Earlier, they had quarrelled over the eviction of encroachers along Tolly�s Nullah. Mamata had demanded that rehabilitation packages be drawn up before the eviction.
District superintendent of police K.C. Meena said they were commanders of the PWG�s armed group and trained in the use of sophisticated weapons and explosives.
A large police contingent had raided Benagaria village under Lalgarh police station and Kalaimuri village under Salboni police station on a tip-off and rounded up the five Naxalites. Police said they were providing arms training in the area.
The arrested were identified as Rabilal Mandi, Gunadhar Mandi, Lakshmikanta Deb Singh, Ganesh Deb Singh and Ranjit Deb Singh. Some papers and letter found on them showed they kept in touch with their counterparts in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa. The police officer said they also maintained regular contact with the MCC in Nepal.
The crackdown on the Naxalites has gained steam after the arrest of a front-ranking PWG leader, Sanjay Mandi, from Garbeta on the eve of Republic Day. Police had raided a hideout when about 25 activists had assembled there. Mandi was nabbed but the others escaped.
Acting on the information given by Mandi during grilling, the police are tracing the other activists. �We are raiding different areas in search of the gang and expect the men will be in the police net soon, Meena said.
The police are also on the lookout for a gang that is spreading panic by mailing threat letters in the name of the PWG. At least 15 such letters have come to notice. �We have examined 10 letters issued in the name of the PWG and found them to be bogus,�� Meena said.
Border firing
Two persons were killed and four injured when BSF jawans opened fire on a group trying to cross the Indo-Bangla border at Phulbari in North Dinajpur this morning, reports our correspondent.
Police said border guards on patrol found a large group trying to cross over by cutting the fencing. When they didn�t heed warnings, the jawans opened fire, killing Muhammad Sajid, 40, and Muhammad Azizul, 28.
Director of medical education Chittaranjan Maity today said here a seven-bigha plot has been chosen near Bangur hospital in Tollygunge for the project. �We will provide land while the Centre will provide the funds for the proposed hospital. It will diagnose and treat cancer patients only,� he said, adding that the government has submitted a Rs 35-crore scheme to the Centre.
Maity, who will inspect some hospitals in the district tomorrow, added that the Chittaranjan Cancer Hospital in Bhowanipore would be upgraded to facilitate treatment of more patients. This apart, a treatment centre for kala azar and malaria patients will also come up in the city. �We have sought World Bank funds for the project,� he added.
The state has also renovated its state-of-the-art laboratory at the School of Tropical Medicine for research in bacteriology, radiology and dermatology. Union health minister C.P. Thakur, will inaugurate it tomorrow.
Bhattacharjee had said last week that some unaffiliated madarsas were involved in anti-national activities.
Ray expressed �strong resentment� at the manner Bhattacharjee had singled out some madarsas and threatened action against them when he met a delegation of Muslim leaders at his Beltala residence this afternoon.
Ray volunteered to steer a campaign against the CPM�s �vindictive attitude� towards the community, leader of the delegation Sultan Ahmed said.

As many of you know, I am a full-stack web developer by profession. As part of our weekly reading hour, I read (and was clearly excited by) the following passage from David Kadavy's Design <for> Hackers:
Music and Dance
Although some experimentation has been done with irrational numbers, such as the golden ratio, the most popular music tends to contain very simple patterns. Most rock songs are in 4/4 time, meaning that there are four beats per measure. Also occasionally found in popular music is 3/4 time, meaning there are three beats per measure; 3/4 time is the time signature of waltz music.
One of the most fascinating examples of proportion in music can be found in proportion's influence on tone, as shown in Figure 5-15. If you strum an open guitar string tuned to C, you'll hear a C note. If you shorten the length of the string to half its original length, you'll hear another C note, but this time an octave higher (the eighth note in the major scale). If you take that same string and strum it instead at three-fourths its original length, you'll hear an F note (the fourth or subdominant note in the major scale). If you strum the string at two-thirds its original length, you'll hear a G note (the fifth or dominant note in the major scale).
Figure 5-15
Shortening a guitar string to three-fourths or two-thirds its original length produces the subdominant and dominant notes, respectively, in the major scale.

The rank of Admiral is the highest in the Royal Navy apart from that of Admiral of the Fleet. It is superior to two other ranks of Admiral: Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral.
Jane Austen had two brothers who served in the Royal Navy and were involved in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. Her younger brother, Sir Charles John Austen (1779-1852), rose to the rank of Rear Admiral, while her older brother, Sir Francis William Austen (1774-1865), achieved the highest rank of all, Admiral of the Fleet.

When the Port Orchard police come to Mina Jewel for help, she knows it should be an interesting case. But not even the promise of a preternatural mystery can keep her interest very long with all the other crap on her plate. A sudden rush of missing teens and no clues to track them with, an enemy from her past resurfacing without warning, and a life-shattering revelation bring Mina face to face with one of her worst fears. And all this before she's even recovered from losing her baby or truly accepting her Lycanthropy. But there is no time for Mina to pick up the pieces of her broken life when innocent lives are at stake. How far will Mina push herself for the greater good. . . and at what cost?

This is an entertaining murder mystery, complete with dime-store paperback names like Ellen Butterby, Jimmy Pomegranate and Skeeter Diamond. The author, John Darnton, is a former New York Times foreign correspondent with an obvious soft spot for the glory days of the newspaper industry.
Darnton builds the suspense around the fictional New York Globe newspaper struggling to keep up with the times. As if competition from bloggers wasn't bad enough, assistant managing editor, Theodore S. Ratnoff is found murdered on the newsroom floor. The novel unfolds as Jude Hurely, the Globe reporter assigned to cover the story, works with police to untangle a growing web of suspects and murder victims.
Rated: High. This is a fast-paced book with the type of short, informative descriptions you'd expect from a former journalist. Details of the victims are mildly disturbing, but not too graphic. The several sexual references are not detailed, and there are two or three vulgar references to male genitalia.
The heavy language puts the book over the top. There are at least 20 to 25 uses of strong language, and about 10 to 15 uses of moderate language, as well as at least that many occurrences of mild language.

How tiny islands loom large for the next president
Kenneth M. Quinn May 27, 2016
On Oct. 7, 1960, there was a significant moment in the Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate about whether the United States should militarily defend Quemoy and Matsu, two little-known, tiny islands off the coast of China, then occupied by the Taiwan military. Should they be attacked by the mainland Communist forces, Vice President Richard Nixon replied yes, America should respond; Sen. John F. Kennedy said no. It was a seen as a defining moment that helped differentiate the candidates in a close campaign.
Fast forward to Sept. 14, 2012, when, while being interviewed on Iowa Press right before another presidential debate, I was asked by Radio Iowa's Kay Henderson to identify "hot spots" to which Americans should pay closer attention. My immediate response was not North Korea or Iran, but rather I noted the "disputed islands" in the South China Sea, which could provide a "trigger point" leading to escalating tensions and possible big power confrontation.
Now four years later, observing President Barack Obama's official visit to Vietnam last week, I cannot help but worry that we might face another Quemoy-Matsu-like decision point in the not-too-distant future, given the increasingly intense situation surrounding the Spratly and Paracel islands, which are claimed in part or in whole by China, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan. With their potential impact on international shipping lanes and the free movement of U.S. naval vessels, these conflicting claims have made the South China Sea one of the more dangerous areas on the globe.http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/iowa-view/2016/05/27/how-tiny-islands-loom-large-next-president/84935306/

Tuesday, April 30, 2013
When I first got my Dexcom back in December and I realized just how often I was going low without feeling it, especially when sleeping, I was dumbfounded. I was lucky then that my liver would kick in and would stabilize me a little bit.
In the quest for extremely tight control, by the recommendation by my health care team, I started to use metformin with my insulin regime. Metformin is usually used in type two diabetics, to put it loosely one of its functions is it slows the excretion of stored glucagon in the liver to prevent major spikes in bg. combining it with my insulin has really helped me. In fact since I started it my average blood sugar post prandial has dropped from 12.4-7.3.
But it has a negative effect: My liver just doesn't correct my lows as quickly as it used to. I guess? I am no doctor, nor do I work in the medical field so this is mostly based on Google. Ugh why did I google all of this?!
Anyway I misplaced my Dexcom receiver on Saturday and have yet to find it. I lived for 23 years without one, so surely you think it shouldn't be a big deal. I didn't think so. I thought I would find it quickly and so be it.
Anyway, on Saturday night I had a low. One of those night time lows that rattle you. I woke up at 3:21 drenched in sweat and feeling completely panicked: I was low. Really low. My mouth was numb, my face was cold, I was seeing spots. Stupidly, trying not to wake T, I ate 10 glucose tablets in two large mouthfuls and laid still in bed just smoothing the sugary paste into my gums with my tongue. Once I swallowed them I staggered out to the kitchen, and grabbed my meter to check and it rang back 1.8 mmol/l (32 mg/dcl). I knew I had 40g carbs in my system, but I needed more. I made a peanut butter sandwich and poured up a big glass of milk. I ate it all and went back to bed. When I woke up I was 7.2 with a massive headache, a mouth that tasted like something died in there and blurry eyes.
Look, I try not to let this stuff get to me. Shit happens and we move on. But I haven't quite been able to. For some reason I can't shake it. I have had trouble falling asleep the past few nights, and throughout the night I have woken up at least 3-4 times to check my blood. Each night if I am below 7, I will reduce my basal quite a bit. I don't like waking up around 8, 9 or 10 but I DO like waking up. So what's a girl to do?
I just really hope I find that Dexcom. It's a security blanket. I want to maintain tight control, but I also don't want to start caving to anxiety at night time. It's just even scarier because I don't have the option to buy a new one. Not even if I want to. Why Health Canada and Dexcom haven't worked this out yet is beyond me, but once I have had a taste of the control and comfort it provides me I can't understand it.
This isn't really posted to scare anyone. I just wanted to vent about the anxiety low blood sugars at night have caused me lately. Does anyone else get this? Any tips for combating it while I search high and low for my Dexcom receiver?
5 comments:
Great post Alanna! I know what you mean about the scary parts of diabetes, for me it's usually the highs that scare me most. But I can feel my lows around 4.5 mmol, whereas you don't feel them until you're much lower. Lows are scariest for me while exercising, one time I didn't feel the low until I almost blacked out completely. But I saved myself by fumbling juice into me. That was scary. Anyway, yes I know how you feel, especially waking up in a sweat, it sucks! I hope you find your Dexcom and keep posting, I really enjoy reading them. :)ReplyDelete
Alanna, I'm right there with you. I would also rather wake up at 10 than not wake up. The artificial pancreas people have tried to refine their technology by going for safety first, then treat-to-target. Maybe we need to do the same. Hope you find that receiver soon!ReplyDelete
You use the Dexcom 7+, right? If your subtle plea was missed (or maybe you weren't even asking), let me be blunt:ReplyDelete
Hey Everyone!! I know there's a lot of people out there who've upgraded to the Dex G4 and left their old receiver on the shelf to collect dust. Alanna could really use a loaner. C'mon, help a sister out!
But seriously -- I know the tendency to keep higher BG's before bed after something like this happens. I've been there myself. But I believe the hypo-unawareness comes with your newfound better control, not a conscious reliance on an electronic device.
Those reductions in PPD spikes are incredible. I just might do some internet research on Metformin myself...Replies
Oh geez, thanks! I wasn't hinting at that at all. I was graciously given the previous receiver by a friend and would never expect it to happen again. I honestly wasn't asking :) But thank you!Delete
And yes, the Metformin has truly helped me! I am on a low-ish dose (from what I know) and it is extended release that I take every morning. It's a great thing when medication actually works.
ugh, that's so frustrating that your dex receiver is still missing .. .have you tried the garbage? horrible place to search but might be worth a run through.ReplyDelete
I've been messing around with Metformin as well... and i've been thinking that it is limiting my liver action as well, i'm only noticing lows at <2 as well.... and feeling that same rattling fear you do. I hate it! but i'm also starting to feel like I might just have to accept this as my "new normal".
you got me thinking about a neat idea... wouldn't it be cool to have little chips that we can stick on important devises (cellphones, Dex receivers, remote controls haha) that could then be tracked via computer - seems like such a simple thing, but oh so useful!!! (HPS - Home positioning system :) I want a little tracker for my beer, haha, i'm always loosing drinks)

Jewish Indonesia
Indonesia is comprised of over 17,000 islands. It has a population of 238 million people and the world's largest population of Muslims. The first Jews came to Indonesia around 1850 as traders. Today there are perhaps 20 Sephardic Jews still living in the country.
Indonesia's relationship with Israel is to not allow them into the country, thus holders of Israeli passports are banned from entering Indonesia.
I traveled around Indonesia for a month in 2008. There were few tourists. Indonesia always seems to be getting hit with some natural disaster, including tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes, as well as the 2002 and 2005 civilian- and tourist-targeted bombings that killed a few hundred foreigners.
The most common place to visit in Indonesia is Bali. Bali is a Hindu-populated island and tourists often think it to be its own country. Australians make up a large part of the tourists to Bali but when I was there, the Australian currency had taken a large hit and the traveler numbers were down.
One amusing thing for me to observe was watching Muslim kids rebel against their religion. Muslim youth wanting a good party will tell their parents that they are perhaps visiting friends in some other part of the country and then head down to Bali where nightclubs serve alcohol and play western music by night. By day they can hang out on the beach. Their parents would kill them if they found out.
I found the people around Indonesia very warm and welcoming. Sure they hate Israel, but only because the media tells them to. Most are secular and even the religious ones would probably not have a clue if they saw someone in tallit and tefillin. The people to whom I mentioned that I was Jewish had no clue what Jewish was. I was there over Chanukah, lit Menorah publicly, and sang Hebrew Chanukah songs with no problem.
Kosher food: plenty of delicious fresh fruit, and with over 17,000 islands there is a lot of fresh fish, but don't bank on finding a kosher restaurant in Indonesia any time soon.
If you do plan on visiting Indonesia make sure there is no current natural disaster. I visited Bromo (an active volcano) and walked to the mouth of the crater. Two days later it blew its stack.

Charles Busch: That Girl/That Boy
Charles Busch
That Girl/That Boy
Rockwell Table & Stage, Los Angeles, CA, March 13, 2017
Reviewed by Elliot Zwiebach for Cabaret Scenes
Charles Busch is a hoot — and a very talented performer. And what an actress he is! Whether singing or dishing about his life or celebrities he has known, he is always, always the epitome of entertainment and class.
Though he's dressed in full drag, he sings in his own natural register, a lovely, deep voice that gets to the heart of the emotion in each song — mostly deeply dramatic ballads that he acts beautifully. And when a song pitch escapes his range, he speaks the lyrics in a gentle, sincere, effective way.
Performing before a wildly enthusiastic audience, Busch was mesmerizing on a Sondheim mash-up that combined "With So Little to Be Sure Of" and "Too Many Mornings." He was also fully invested in the complex "Surabaya Johnny" (Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht) — his favorite song, he said — moving smoothly through its shifting moods and tempos.
Speaking about his childhood and an aunt who helped him come into his own, he was extremely moving in a pair of songs in which he likened himself to a flower, as he described his struggles to survive as someone who was different: a heartfelt "What a Lot of Flowers" (Leslie Bricusse, from the score of the musical film Goodbye, Mr. Chips) combined with a slowed-down, poignant "Hurry! It's Lovely Up Here" (Burton Lane/Alan Jay Lerner, from On a Clear Day You Can See Forever).
Busch was ably abetted throughout the evening by his musical director, Tom Judson, who served not only as piano accompanist, but also fellow singer. Their voices blended beautifully on a pair of 1960s movie ballads by Michel Legrand and Alan and Marilyn Bergman: "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" and "I Will Wait for You," the latter featuring a strong arrangement that shifted different sections of the song into an effective harmony.
In a much lighter vein, the two combined for an amusing "Road to Morocco" (Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke) and performed "Hey, Look Me Over" (Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh, from Wildcat) with the same contrasting lyrics and melody used in the show.
On his own, Busch offered a moving take on "Those Were the Days" (American lyrics by Gene Raskin from a Russian melody by Boris Fomin), reflecting on how catchy the tune seemed in the 1960s but, by slowing the tempo, adding reflective, nostalgic resonance for him in the present. His encore was a sincere "Rainbow Connection" (Paul Williams/Kenny Ascher) — another selection Busch said he thought was lighthearted when he first heard it, but which he said now offers hope.

Download Tech Tiles apk 1.1.1 free for Android smartphone
Posted by Duxpel Games in Arcade | Feb. 1, 2015 | 58 Comments
Apk file size: 15.0 MB
Who's ready for some twitchy addicting fun?!
Tap tile by tile quickly.
It seems easy but it is not if you want to beat your own records.
Try the game for a while and you will realize what you're capable of doing with your fingers.
● Long Distance: Get to the next level before time runs out.
● Time Attack: Very stressful! How many tiles are capable of stepping in 10 secs?
● Endurance: You have a minute to move your fingers on the tiles.
Some challenges are very easy and others nearly impossible. If you unlock all challenges, let me know!
Your 3 best scores will be recorded in each game mode.
Your mission is to beat your own records! Which means that you are your own enemy. Come on, fight against you! I bet you're able to beat you!

G74 on YouTube says I really like this, but not because of stunning graphics or beautiful music. This has really helped with my reflexes. Is actually quite fun too.
Cheyanne Cooper
Fun and addictive This game is so much fun and addictive. I've been playing on it and cannot stop. Only time o put it down is when college books, work, and life begs for attention.
Endrias Kidane
Pretty good It gets boring after a while, but it was fun while it lasted
Eric Miller
Needs more game modes... And the other games modes won't go as fast as long run.
Paul Todd
Great Fun Very cool I especially love the old school feel with the SFX 5 stars
Sara Gosney
Entertaining Fun little game entertaining when bored. Getting boring after a while
emo gamer
Nope Good ideas. However, I recorded my hands tapping the screen and they were all spot on whereas the game said it was game over. It did this all the time
Marion Storey
Brilliant and addictive This game is awesome, im pretty much hooked, i can only think of 2 improvements. It would be nice to be able to play your own music to it and an unlimited game play would be very nice :) but this game is awesome
steven davyromano
Fun for short periods of time. Not bad. Great way to kill 10 minutes
Antonella Carriedo
Awesomely addictive! I've just started playing the game and I'm already hooked. Cool music, not crowded with worthless ads like most apps these days, and totally fun.
Thomas Cruise
Great app especially because I got the full game thanks to app of the day and it's helped me with my hand to eye coordination.
Charlotte Claw
Great game! I love the simplicity of this game. The adverts are not too intrusive and in this market I can appreciate a game that does not have any IAP (apart from ad removal). I do think this game would benefit more from different music hopefully being added in later on and the track will be random when you enter a level. I have rated 5 start purely because of its simple and addictive nature. Great app.
Celina B
Purchase problem The full app is supposed to be free today but when I go on the app it still tells me that I have a limited amount of games. I've restarted the app (and my tablet) multiple times and it's still the same. Please fix this!
ryan shewmaker
Slow Animation or touch screen is really delayed compared to other touch tile games.
Michael Chapman
Glitch ruins the game Every few games when i try to go too fast its as if the game wasnt made to go a certain speed and then for an unknown amount of time the game wont play smoothly without jumping, it makes it pointless and impossible.
sean roughley
Very fun Love this game,very useful for my pitiful reflexes
Ben Watson
Bloody Addictive! Great game, sleak design and bouncy music. This will keep you hooked for hours.
Guilherme Corso
amazing to develop your own control and patience when at a troubled
Mathew Peters
Fun game Very fast paced. It reminds me of an older game, simple yet tricky.
Lee Holmes
Time killer Good and addictive game. Nice in a train to kill a bit of time
Jessie James Stratton
Really good This game is really good. Simple but good. Just simply press the screen and see how fast you can go. First try I got 99 in 20secs. Next up 200 in 30 secs xD
Anthony Roddis
No rewards Addictive game and quite fun however when i get the chance to get ad free plays and pass the target required it says i haven't been successful even though I have. Big con. I have a picture to prove it too.
Toby Johnson
Strangely addictive A strange game rather addictive, need to surpass previous score, I like it
Daniel Lewis
Brilliantly Frustrating Not normally a fan of this type of game but holy moly batman! It's incredibly addictive. Get it! :-)
Lukey Sixx

Dejah Russell
Cool It's like don't tap the white tiles, only when your playing it makes that Mario like sound. There are only three game modes, but it's kinda challenging because you don't have as much contrast between the tiles your suppost to tap and the ones you shouldn't.
Seren Gomez
Amazing I literally love this game. Its simplistic design is awesome and it is so addictive.
Roxanne Praud-Smith
Tech Tiles Just not getting it. Where are the instructions on how to play?? Could someone please explain this game to me??
ashley stone

Jessamyn Clawdus
BORING!!!!! They should at least have more than three speeds and it is so not addictive!?? but may be a little fun#still boring though!
Michala McGuire
Paid for premium Not sure what I got for paying for premium, ads are still at the bottom. Didn't realize I could move my fingers so fast, I got a score of 220 on Endurance. I really like the game but maybe a choice of own music might be a good idea.
Eliana Nelson
FUN I thought it was going to be exactly like the regular don't tap the white tile but it's not,it's good for boredom to. :3
Pender Llama

Gwendolyn Colon
Addictive This is actually pretty addictive and keeps me occupied.
Jonathan Grossman
Excellent Aesthetics & Presentation! I'm much more partial to the chiptune soundtrack and 8-bit graphics than "Don't step the white tile," however, Tech Tiles' predecessors offer more modes and variety. Tech Tiles is great for what it is, though. The unlockables are a nice touch.
Game&Anime Freak
So fun and addicting I ❤ this game so much, it is so addicting. I'll probably get tired of this game and get a new one cuz that's what I always do. But this game is awesome!!! ?
Angela Harder
Lovin it This game has greatly improved my texting skills the only problem I have now is know what letter I want next when I'm typing haha. All in all though a very fun game!
Daniel Challis
Can be Addictive Fun in short bursts but after prolonged play can get a bit repetative
Erin Chilton
love the game I'm addicted to beating my high scores
Panda xDAxBear
Lol wow Its pretty basic, but wow it's addictive. Let me tell you that I've played a lot of games like this. Yet it's one of the best ones. I would how ever like to see new game types.
J Thiessen

Statement by Senator Mark Pryor On A Constitutional Amendment Banning Same-Sex Marriage
I oppose gay marriage. In 2004, I supported the amendment to the Arkansas constitution to ensure the status of marriage in our state remains only between a man and woman. I support the federal law we already have on the books, the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between only a man and a woman and further declares that no state is required to honor a same-sex relationship sanctioned by another state. At this point, I do not think there is a need for a constitutional amendment given Arkansas's amendment, federal law, and a judicial process that prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriages.

Black Hills Gold Designer Accessories - Vinya Collection
Sterling Silver 925
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925. 925 will be stamped on the inside of silver jewelry that is made of the fineness Sterling Silver. You will find only 925 silver on all Jewelry Black Hills Gold Jewelry
Fine silver is 99.9% pure and is generally too soft for producing functional objects; therefore, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength while preserving the ductility and beauty of the precious metal. Other metals can replace the copper, usually with the intent to improve various properties of the basic sterling alloy such as reducing casting porosity, eliminating fire scale, and increasing resistance to tarnish. These replacement metals include germanium, zinc and platinum, as well as a variety of other additives, including silicon and boron. A number of alloys, such as Argentium sterling silver, have appeared in recent years, formulated to lessen fire scale or to inhibit tarnish, and this has sparked heavy competition among the various manufacturers, who are rushing to make claims of having the best formulation. However, no one alloy has emerged to replace copper as the industry standard, and alloy development is a very active area.

The sixth annual Mystic River Celebration will take over the Condon Shell on Saturday, September 24th from 12-4pm.
This popular afternoon festival produced by CACHE in Medford celebrates the Mystic River, Medford, and the city's robust community of artists and cultural organizations. Held at the Condon Shell along the Mystic River off of Route 16 and attended by 1,000 people each year, the event features live music and dance performances, artist vendors, local food, art installations, and activities sponsored by organizations and businesses.
The Mystic River Celebration is widely known for its line-up of quality musicians. This year's musical acts include bluegrass/folk/funk trio Cold Chocolate, local high school favorite Georgia Bowder-Newton, jazz and blues artist Lydia Harrell, and the soulful and original sounds of The Blue Ribbons. The festival will also feature performances by Tufts Bhangra, Guardians of Isadora, and others.
There will be numerous opportunities to purchase, make, and appreciate art of all types. Artisan wares will be on sale by local vendors, including prints, blown-glass, jewelry, bags, and pottery. Local public artist Keri Percival will illuminate the rich ecology and timeline of the Mystic River in a sculpture made of natural and artificial objects found along the river. Along the periphery of the festival, artists will produce on-site paintings of the beautiful Condon Shell, Mystic River, and other surrounding scenery, which will be on exhibit in October at Mystic Coffee Roaster.
Local food vendors will include the Depot Square Grille, Roving Lunchbox, Perche Patisserie, and Didi Original Biscotti. Families will enjoy countless activities for children such as a Knucklebones play area, activities with the Medford Family Network, and face painting by the much sought-after professional face painter, Elizabeth Stone. If you haven't picked up your Medford Saves key tag yet, buy one for $15 at the CACHE table to begin saving big at dozens of Medford businesses, with proceeds going to support the Mystic River Celebration and other CACHE programs. Also, take part in the Mystic River Celebration scavenger hunt to be entered to win tickets to several arts events in Medford.
The Condon Shell is located at 2501 Mystic Valley Parkway. Parking is available on-site as well as along Winthrop Street, though participants are encouraged to walk or ride their bike where possible. The rain date will be Sunday, September 25th from 12-4pm.
The Mystic River Celebration kicks off CACHE's Arts Across Medford, a month-long festival during October celebrating arts and culture in Medford. Now in its sixth year, Arts Across Medford features 15 free or low-cost arts, cultural, and historic events throughout the city of Medford for all ages and interests. Music, theater, hands-on writing and art workshops, exhibitions, and historic talks are just some of the many art forms presented at events dappling the calendar of the festive month of October.

Tromsø, Norway – 26-January, 2012 – Members of the international oil industry have launched a collaborative effort to enhance Arctic oil spill response.
The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) today announced the formation of the Oil Spill Response Technology Joint Industry Programme ( JIP) at the Arctic Frontiers Conference in Tromsø, Norway. This collaborative research endeavour will expand industry knowledge of, and capabilities in, Arctic oil spill prevention and response. Nine major oil companies are sponsoring the programme: BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, North Caspian Oil Company, Shell, Statoil, and Total.
"Prevention of oil spills is a priority for industry, as is the response to any spill that may occur. Spill response research is an aspect of the oil business for which collaboration is imperative. Working together in this four-year JIP increases knowledge and opportunities to test equipment, conduct field experiments and develop oil spill response technology", says Programme Manager Joseph Mullin.
This is a continuation of the industry's decades-long research and development for response in Arctic and cold weather conditions. The largest effort of its kind, the JIP has identified research projects to enhance industry capabilities and co-ordination in the area of Arctic oil spill response.
The JIP is realistic about the unique challenges needing to be addressed when considering Arctic operations. These include prolonged periods of darkness, extreme cold, distant infrastructure, presence of sea ice offshore and a higher cost of doing business. By working together, the JIP companies are ensuring the most efficient use of resources, funding and expertise to improve the technologies and methodologies for Arctic spill response.
Mullin added that, "In the last few decades, the oil and gas industry has made significant advances in Arctic spill prevention and response technology. We continue to further advance spill response knowledge and test new technology through joint industry projects such as this JIP that bring experts together. That is why we have made this major research commitment to support responsible Arctic exploration and development."
For more information please contact: email@example.com
Note to editors:
Through research and development, the JIP will make advances in dispersant use, in situ burning, mechanical recovery, and remote sensing in Arctic conditions. The JIP will also assemble an extensive information base to improve decision-making and the preparation of environmental impact assessments related to Arctic conditions. Work will involve several experimental controlled-oil releases in the field to verify research results. These field experiments will be contingent upon permitting approval from relevant authorities. Such verification of countermeasure techniques is essential for obtaining approvals from regulators and stakeholders for new Arctic exploration and development activities.
About IOGP:
IOGP's members include most of the world's leading publicly-traded, private and state-owned oil & gas companies, oil & gas associations (such as the American Petroleum Institute and Oil & Gas UK), trade associations (such as the International Association of Drilling Contractors) and major upstream service companies.
IOGP members produce more than half the world's oil and about one third of its gas.
IOGP represents the upstream oil & gas industry before international regulators and legislators. From its headquarters in London, IOGP represents the industry in UN bodies including the International Maritime Organization and the Commission for Sustainable Development. IOGP also works with the World Bank
and with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In addition, IOGP is accredited with a range of regional bodies. Among these are OSPAR, the Helsinki Commission and the Barcelona Convention. IOGP Brussels provides an essential conduit for advocacy and debate between the upstream industry and the European Union (EU). This involves regular contact with the European Commission and the European Parliament.
IOGP also helps members achieve continuous improvements in safety, health and environmental performance and in the engineering and operation of upstream ventures. IOGP's extensive international membership brings with it a wealth of know-how, data and experience. IOGP committees manage the exchange and dissemination of this knowledge through publications and events around the world.
