Lenore Skenazy Tells us Our Kids ARe Just as SAfe As The Old Days,...?
May 06, 2009 05:59 AM »
When I was young we would ride our bikes everywhere, go walking to school by ourselves. I have to admit though Im not sure I would let my son do the same. All the scary stuff you hear! And Parents are not doing the same anymore. My friend would watch her ten year old son while he was riding his bike! I know back in the days noone watched us and even before our generation ten year olds would go to the stores and trains by themselves to pick up groceries and stuff
Stop worrying about your children!
Kids today are just as safe as they were in the '70s, says "Free-Range Kids" author Lenore Skenazy, and what's really distressing is an alarmist culture that refuses to let them grow up.
By Katharine Mieszkowski
Salon Conversations Listen to Katharine Mieszkowski speaking with Lenore Skenazy
May 4, 2009 | Over the past year, syndicated columnist Lenore Skenazy, 49, has become something of a heretic. She's an American mother of two boys, now 11 and 13, who dares to suggest that today's kids aren't growing up in constant state of near peril.
Amid the cacophony of terrifying Amber Alerts and safety tips for every holiday, Skenazy is a chipper alternative, arguing that raising children in the United States now isn't more dangerous than it was when today's generation of parents were young. And back then, it was reasonably safe, too. So why does shooing the kids outside and telling them to have fun and be home by dark seem irresponsible to so many middle-class parents today?
Skenazy first instigated a kerfuffle about contemporary parenting mores when she and her husband allowed their then 9-year-old son Izzy to ride the subway alone in April 2008. After she wrote a column about Izzy's independent excursion, she and the little subway veteran made the rounds on TV morning shows and cable news, where Skenazy fielded heated questions about her common sense, if not her outright sanity. The tsk-tsking wasn't limited to the TV talking heads, either. This year, a train conductor on the Long Island Rail Road called the police after then 10-year-old Izzy took a train ride by himself. (For the record, it's entirely legal.)

In her new book, "Free-Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts With Worry," Skenazy suggests that many American parents are in the grips of a national hysteria about child safety, which is fed by sensationalistic media coverage of child abductions, safety tips from alarmist parenting mags, and companies marketing products that promise to protect tykes from every possible danger. She by no means recommends that mom and dad chuck the car seats, but says that trying to fend off every possible risk, however remote, holds its own unfortunate, unintended consequences.
Salon spoke with Skenazy from her apartment in Manhattan, where she lives with her husband and sons.
I grew up in the Houston suburbs in the '70s and '80s. Back then, we kids waited for the school bus without our parents. Now, in that exact same neighborhood, parents always wait at the school bus stop with their kids, although the neighborhood has not changed significantly.
This was a shock to me. Now, parents wait at the bus stop. They wait in the morning to make sure their kid gets on safely, and sometimes they wait at the bus stop in the afternoon to drive the kid home, even if it's on the same block, even if it's in a gated community. Sometimes they wait with those little golf carts. It's the new social norm.
What do you think are the reasons that change has taken place?
When I was growing up, my parents were not watching those horrific television shows that are on now like "CSI" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." They were watching "Dallas," "Dynasty," stuff with maybe big hair, but that was the biggest crime. It wasn't all these shows with really graphic, horrifying consequences for kids.
And then, you didn't have cable, and cable has to fill 24 hours with the worst possible stories, because if they filled it with stories about kids getting home safely, you wouldn't watch. What's the most compelling story that anyone has come up with so far? It's something terrible happening to a child.
Just today before our conversation, I looked at the CNN.com homepage, and there was a story about a 17-year-old disappearing while on spring break, and then another story about a teen vanishing after arguing with a teacher.
And if there isn't some teen disappearing just today, they'll say: "Cold case! Remember when?" And then they'll go back a few years, "So-and-so still not found." So, these incidents seem like they're happening every second of every day. News crews have no compunction about spending months hanging out in Aruba or Portugal when there is a case of a young white girl stolen, and they'll beat that story to death.
It's not like I don't feel tremendous sympathy for the families and for the victims, but it makes it seem like we are living in a world where children are in constant, utter peril, and the statistics actually don't prove that.
What are the statistics about crimes against children? What is the news that we're not hearing?
The crime rate today is equal to what it was back in 1970. In the '70s and '80s, crime was climbing. It peaked around 1993, and since then it's been going down.
If you were a child in the '70s or the '80s and were allowed to go visit your friend down the block, or ride your bike to the library, or play in the park without your parents accompanying you, your children are no less safe than you were.
But it feels so completely different, and we're told that it's completely different, and frankly, when I tell people that it's the same, nobody believes me. We're living in really safe times, and it's hard to believe.
But if crimes against kids have fallen, now that we're keeping them cloistered, won't some people think, "Great! It must be working!"?
Crime stats are falling across the board. It's not just because children are inside, because [crime stats] are falling inside, too. Crimes against children, even by family members and acquaintances, are falling, according to the Crimes Against Children Research Center.
We don't tolerate sex crimes. There's just much less tolerance of any kind of abuse of kids. Those people are prosecuted very aggressively, to the point where a lot of them are behind bars now.
But if other parents aren't letting their kids walk to school, or wait at the bus stop by themselves, if you buck the trend, doesn't that make your kid more vulnerable, because other kids aren't doing it, too? If everyone was doing it, wouldn't there be safety in numbers?
There would be safety in numbers, and I wish everybody would do it. My big idea is: "Take Our Children to the Park and Leave Them There Day." I think that would be a great thing for our country.
Maybe the 7-year-old will walk the 5-year-old home, and nobody would say: "Oh my God, where are the parents? Let's arrest them." Perhaps your child is in .00007 percent more danger, but the danger is so minute to begin with. There is a 1 in 1.5 million chance that your kid would be abducted and killed by a stranger. It is hard to wrap your mind around those numbers, and everybody always assumes: What if it's my 1 in 1.5 million?
If you don't want to have your child in any kind of danger, you really can't do anything. You certainly couldn't drive them in a car, because that's the No. 1 way kids die, as passengers in car accidents.
Rationally, why aren't cars the bogeyman instead of stranger abduction?
It would change our entire lifestyle if we couldn't drive our kids in a car, and it's a danger that we just willingly accept without examining it too much, because we know that the chances are very slim that we're going to have a fatal car accident. But the chances are 40 times slimmer that your kid walking to school, whether or not she's the only one, is going to be hurt by a stranger.

That's an interesting story. I really am terrified for kids these days when I watch the news. Neighbors killing little girls and worse, teenagers disappearing, college students never seen again. As a kid I'd go anywhere and ride my bike anywhere alone and go to stores, playgrounds alone, but even grown up I don't do those things alone anymore! Maybe it is too much CSI, WithoutaTrace, Law&Order etc etc, but I think those shows are probably contributing to crazy criminal ppl becoming more crazy. Every time we think that nothing more horrible can occur a new story comes up that's even worse
So I don't know.

School system faces a $2.8 billion shortfall for capital school construction and renovation
BALTIMORE, MD – City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young and Councilman James B. Kraft today announced their plan to help address the multi-billion dollar deficit for school construction projects and the renovation of existing school facilities.
Council President Young and Councilman Kraft will introduce a charter amendment on December 6, 2010, that would create a non-lapsing account to help pay for new school construction; renovate existing city school buildings and athletic facilities; expand recreational activities; and modernize education-related equipment and curricula.
The account would be funded, in part, with revenue generated by the City Council through proceeds from existing or new fines, fees and programs; grants and donations; and through the annual Ordinance of Estimates. If passed by the City Council and signed by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the proposed charter amendment would require a referendum to become law.
Currently, the City Council does not have the authority to earmark revenue toward educational improvements. On November 2, 2010, 87 percent of city voters approved council bill 08-0055, a charter amendment to create a similar non-lapsing fund to promote sustainability and maintenance of parks and other open space. That charter amendment was sponsored by Councilman Kraft.
Council President Young and Councilman Kraft's charter amendment is an out-of-the-box idea to deal with a $2.8 billion shortfall for capital school construction and renovation projects facing city schools.
The city school system suffers from having the oldest facilities in Maryland and a local tax base that cannot adequately support new construction and renovations, said Mayor Rawlings-Blake earlier today during a press conference announcing the creation of a task force to study the issue.
"I agree with Mayor Rawlings-Blake that existing funding sources will never fully solve the multi-billion dollar deficit facing the school system, but doing nothing is not an option we can afford to take," Council President Young said. "The charter amendment proposed by myself and Councilman Kraft will not singularly solve this funding crisis, but it's a step in the right direction."
The school system receives a lower share of its government's local dollars annually than any other school system in the state.
"This is a perfect example of a situation where the council needs the ability to designate funds and to plan for funding needs outside of the yearly budget cycle," Councilman Kraft said. "By passing this amendment, we will be ensuring that we are exploring every available resource to improve the conditions in which our students are learning.
"In light of today's announcement by Mayor Rawlings-Blake and City Schools CEO Dr. Andres A. Alonso, we hope that this will be another tool to assist them in their efforts to meet the overwhelming capital needs of Baltimore City Public Schools," Kraft added.

Wave Propagation in Rock Under Blast Loads
Model ID: 12811
Transient analysis of the wave propagation in rock mass caused by a short duration load on the surface. Such loads are typical during tunnel constructions and other excavations using blasting.
The model shows the use of the Low-reflecting boundary conditions to truncate the computational domain to a reasonable size. The results are in very good agreement with those presented in the following reference:
Henrik Sönnerlind, 2005, "Beräkningsmetoder för spänningar i explosionsbelastad berg", rapport nr 001202, Epsilon HighTech Innovation AB. (report with Public Access status)

MONTROSE – Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado, now known as HopeWest, is very close to breaking ground on a new facility serving Montrose, Olathe, Ouray and Ridgway.
"The new building will provide a place that is warm and welcoming with adequate space for our extensive community bereavement programs," said Nancy Hoganson, HopeWest director of community relations.
The Montrose Center for Hope, to be constructed on South Fourth Street directly across from Montrose Memorial Hospital, will house HopeWest's patient care staff of 28 that oversees the care of over 60 patients in the area each day. In addition to patient care, the building will provide meeting rooms for HopeWest's two adult Mending Hearts community bereavement groups. The building is planned to accommodate growth and adapt to growing numbers of staff and volunteers over the coming years.
Since launching a capital campaign just last summer, HopeWest has already raised $2.7 million of the $3 million that is needed to build the new facility. That's enough to break ground in December, Hoganson said, adding that she is optimistic the community will come through with generous donations during the upcoming holiday season to push the fundraising effort across the finish line.
So far, the massive capital campaign has happened mostly under the radar. That changed last Thursday, when HopeWest launched an ad campaign to help build awareness about the project. "We have let the public know what we are about," Hoganson said. "It's been very exciting."
It has been amazing, how quickly the idea of the new building shifted from dream to reality. Significant donors that have stepped up to the plate include Alpine Bank, the City of Montrose and Montrose County, foundations including the Daniels Fund, El Pomar Foundation, Bacon Family Foundation, the Goodwin Foundation, Montrose service clubs including Rotary and Altrusa, and a host of generous private donors.
Ouray County and Montrose County have also entered into an intergovernmental agreement to secure a Community Development Block Grant from the Department of Local Affairs to help fund the project.
"We live in a place with amazingly generous people," Hoganson said. "They appreciate Hospice, and want to help us expand and provide more comprehensive services. The whole reason for this project is to expand the variety of services we provide for our area."
HopeWest has been growing and evolving to meet the community's needs since it was founded in Grand Junction in 1993. Starting with just six employees, HopeWest cared for 81 patients and families in its first year. Now with a growing number of staff and volunteers the organization cares for 1,600 patients annually in Mesa, Delta, Montrose, and Ouray Counties – about 300 of whom are in the Montrose/Olathe/Ouray County service area.
Today, HopeWest is the only nonprofit Hospice organization serving the Western Slope. In addition to providing in-home, end-of-life, palliative nursing services focusing on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients, the organization has also developed extensive grief counseling services for adults and children.
HopeWest's current Montrose location, in a shared space right across from the Cancer Center, is rent-free, which is great for the nonprofit organization, but the 2,000 square foot space is less than ideal, to say the least. "We have no bathrooms, and no running water," Hoganson said. "Our staff have to go outdoors and across a courtyard and into other building to use the restroom. If they were not so dedicated, they would have left a long time ago."
Over the years, HopeWest has looked at other buildings in Montrose to move into, but its list of needs was so specific (including proximity to a medical campus) that in the end, they decided to go with a purpose-built new facility that will provide them with all the space they need, with plenty of room for expansion.
HopeWest purchased the lots for the new facility two years ago. It will be located at 725 South Fourth Street, "with nothing between us and the hospital," Hoganson said.
The spacious new building will have 6,300 sf, plus a basement for storage of wheelchairs and walkers, adding up to a total of 9,450 sf of space. The first floor will basically provide room for staff, and the upstairs will be devoted to outreach programs.
There will not be a residential nursing component to the facility. A needs assessment conducted several years ago showed that the region only needs 1.5 critical care Hospice beds per day. "You can''t operate a facility for that need," Hoganson explained.
Rather, HopeWest maintains one comfortably furnished Hospice room at Montrose Memorial Hospital, and two at the Valley Manor nursing home. A larger HopeWest Hospice Care Center is located in Grand Junction.
"The majority of our patients are in their own homes, which is honestly where they want to be," Hoganson said.
With the newly expanded space, Hoganson is especially excited about growing HopeWest's effort to reach out to children in the region. "We lose young parents way too frequently in our area," she observed. "When we (HopeWest staff) would go to a family, everyone focused on the patient and here are these children in the background feeling invisible. We quickly realized we have to do something to help the children."
HopeWest now serves 703 children in Grand Junction and over 100 in its Montrose/Olathe/Ouray County service area.
Children receive a variety of forms of support, including free camps, school grief groups, and individual counseling. "We have the largest childhood grief program in Colorado, and one of most innovative in the nation," Hoganson said. "They just do amazing work."
Heirlooms for Hospice, an upscale resale store in Montrose, pumps $90,000 into HopeWest's Montrose budget every year, and should more than cover the maintenance costs at the new building, Hoganson said. The store is staffed by one full-time employee, three part-timers and a fleet of volunteers.
"Their average age is over 70, and a good number of them are widows," Hoganson said. "They form a wonderful support group for each other; they are a great encouragement to each other."
HopeWest also hosts several major fundraising events throughout the year, including a Gala in the fall that cleared $97,000 last year, and a golf tournament that brought in $26,000.
Private insurance makes up for the rest of HopeWest's $2 million annual budget. "We don't ever turn away a patient in need," Hoganson said. "If they don't have insurance, we will take them and provide all the care and medications on a sliding scale."
Each year, HopeWest provides $700,000-$800,000 in unreimbursed care. "That is the commitment we have made to our community," Hoganson said. "And because our communities are generous, we can afford to do those kinds of things."
Hoganson knows the value of Hospice through her own personal experience. Her father was at HopeWest's Hospice Care Center in Grand Junction when he died. "There are no words for the difference in care he received there," she said. "I now understand why people are eternally grateful. I get it. It's about helping patients and family members live those last weeks and months, with loving support, and how to make that time meaningful, how to make it exactly what they want."

Tiffany & Co. today announced that Maria will wear earrings by celebrated Tiffany designer Elsa Peretti at Roland Garros which runs from May 23 to June 6 in Paris.
Maria will wear earrings from the Elsa Peretti® mesh collection inspired by mesh jewelry and purses that were in vogue from 1900 through the 1920s. Crafted of 18 karat gold in an ultra-fine pattern of inter-linked rings and accented with cultured freshwater pearls, the earrings capture both the elegant simplicity of Elsa Peretti's jewelry and Maria's natural style.
"Elsa Peretti's jewelry is a joy to wear," Maria said. "Her mesh earrings have great length and movement, yet they're very lightweight. It will be a pleasure to wear them on the court."
Welcome back Dartagnan !!! ;)
Oh, if my memory isn't wrong you show me that cloth once time a lot of time ago; but I think we were talkin' about the make-up & I didn't agree too much with her choice. Well, have to admit it's quiet difficult to say something about the dress if she stays in that pose: probably I would have changed something, such as the lenght of the ribbon & the dress & the structure of the crotch, but she's so provocative there that the eyes can see the details of the cloth only in the second time ;) ...
Yes you are right. She was provocative. May be she wanted everybody to notice her this day.
i like your siggy dart! nice one! great !

"Everyone had wonderful things to say about our son's graduation announcement. I'm having friends call this year to ask where I got them and I"m sending them here."
"Loved my finished product. Was able to customize it just the way I wanted! My friends and family loved the personalized announcement instead of the school offered standard announcement. Excellent service and delivery!"
"The web site was easy to use, the reviewer researched the proper color to customize the background color for me and the product was delivered when promised."
"These invitations were absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on them. People said it was handsdown the nicest graduation invitation they had every received. Very unique. Paper quality and image resolution were excellent. Although they were expensive, I ended up saving money because since the card included 5 large photos, it took the place of including individual pictures. An added bonus was I ordered them in mid May and received them in less than 5 business days! Was able to get them out 2 and a half weeks before graduation with no added expense to postage."
"The only thing I didn't consider until they came in was that I wanted to write something on the back for each person I sent them to and I had to write in metallic permanent marker for it to be read. I should have thought about that and wonder if there was a choice to be able to have a writing surface on the back. Other than that I loved the finished product!"

I bought this blade for my Craft ROBO cutting machine. It works perfectly. I love the grey adapter cap to change the blade depth. This product has a beautifully sharp blade. This is a keeper.
I recently replaced the blade in my Silhouette SD and wanted a back up for the next time I needed to replace it. I would really like it if they were not so expensive!
I have a very old silhouette machine and needed to replace the blade - love this one much more than the old setup with the different caps.

Summary of An Economist Gets Lunch Summary of An Economist Gets Lunch Reviews for An Economist Gets Lunch An Excerpt from An Economist Gets Lunch
A leading economist, "who may very well turn out to be this decade's Thomas Friedman" (Wall Street Journal), illuminates the state of American food today
Tyler Cowen, one of the most influential economists of the last decade, wants you to know that just about everything you've heard about how to get good food is wrong. Drawing on a provocative range of examples from around the globe, Cowen reveals why airplane food is bad, but airport food is improving, why restaurants full of happy, attractive people usually serve mediocre meals, and why American food has improved as Americans drink more wine. At a time when obesity is on the rise and forty-four million Americans receive food stamps, An Economist Gets Lunch will revolutionize the way we eat today—and show us how we're going to feed the world tomorrow.

Great athmosphere, bad food – Those who live on this side of town know: you definitely DON'T go to Bay Cafe for the food. Bay cafe is a great place to hang out and drink with your friends. They have a sandy area with palm trees and tiki torches which is really cool. It gets a little rowdy on weekend nights which is good if yo're into that. Again, stay away from the food and you'll be okay.
bad service, bad food – First, it took 15 minutes for someone to decide to wait on us. When our appetizer finally arrived, the Crab Dip was Old Bay and cheese... not sure where the crab was. The shrimp salad, while enormous, did not tatse extremely fresh. A filet ordered MR was closer to MW, but it would have been difficult for us to tell our waitress, since she never asked how it was. We misguidedly decided to get coffee drinks at the end of the meal, which was spoiled (litterally) when the creamer that we poured in it was full of soured chunks. I (finally) had to go reorder the drinks from the bar, but as the coffee was lukewarm at best, I did not enjoy it. The soured creamer was not appologized for, and the explanation that we were given is that the restaurant's cooler is sometimes broken and the food goes bad. Sounds good, doesn't it??? My friend and I both have been waitresses for years and were incapable of leaving less than a 20% tip, but I feel as though the rest of Baltimore should know what they are getting into if they decide to eat here. Stick with drinks and enjoy the view.
Baltimore city has its own waterside cafe with a beachwear-clad crowd, tall drinks and tiki torches. – The Scene
Kick back, sip a frozen drink and watch boats dock just feet away from your table as you dine under the glow of flaming tiki torches. No, you're not on the beach, you've simply discovered Bay Cafe. The restaurant is open year-round, but the outdoor, on-the-water dining is especially appealing during warm weather.
The Food
Seafood is Bay Cafe's specialty, but the menu is also full of jumbo burgers, oversized sandwiches, soups and salads. The shrimp-salad sandwich is famous among regulars; delivered on your choice of bread, it's the most generous portion of shrimp salad around. The raw bar and crab dip appetizer are also big hits. Inside tip: Crab cakes can wow, but the soft-shell crabs could be just a little bit fresher.
sunday brunch- a little overrated – i'd have to agree w/the previous poster...their sunday brunch wasn't quite as fantastic as i was expecting, but it was quite tasty. atmosphere can't be beat, right along the water.
an experience! – what a great place to have a great time with friends or family. Laid back, relaxing or a helluva party. the atmosphere is one where you can simply enjoy the good food, good service and view or you can get wild with your friends at the jamaican me crazy parties.
OVERRATED – I was just going over some of the reviews and let me say this, the food here is bad. Don't get me wrong, if you want the view and the atmosphere, this is one of the best places. Go, have a drink, but, with the exception of the shrimp salad, the food is terrible.
I think Bay Cafe is wonderful. My co-workers and I come there every Friday for the best happy hour Baltimore has seen in years. They have 2 for 1 drink specials from 5-8pm on Fri. The food for happy hour is so so, but the drinks, themusic, and the people are wonderful. If you're looking for a great place to hang out come here and if its on a happy hour Friday look for POCAHONTAS:)

UVALDE, Texas -- At least two people were taken to the hospital after a round of fireworks shot into the crowd on Thursday night at the Uvalde County Fairplex.
The Uvalde Fire Marshal identified the injured as a 5-month-old and a relative. One of the victims was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center while the other was taken to University Hospital. Citing privacy laws, he would not comment on their conditions.
Uvalde County Judge William Mitchell said he was not at the Fourth of July celebration and did not know the extent of the injuries. He said at least two more people were treated by EMS for minor burns.
Spectator Ervey Perez posted a video of the accident to his Facebook page. The accident occurs about 20 seconds into the video, followed by a panicking crowd and the arrival of an ambulance and fire truck.
"There was a fireworks display that one of the canisters malfunctioned and landed near the crowd and some people received burns as a results of that," Mitchell said. ... "It was an accident and the person that was in charge of the display was a licensed pyrotechnic. It wasn't just a back yard deal."
The fireworks display was sponsored by the Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department and the Uvalde Leader-News, according to the city's online calendar.
A photo provided to KENS 5 by the Uvalde Leader-News shows a minivan covered in ash and pocked with burn marks.
Uvalde is about 80 miles west of San Antonio.

Am I Losing Insulin When I Bleed After an Injection?
Q: When giving myself an insulin injection, about one out of every 20 times, I will bleed. What I want to know is, does that mean that I got the insulin, or does the insulin come out with the blood?
Scott King
A: A few years ago, as part of an other study, we found the answer to this question. Occasionally, insulin leaks back to the skin from the injection. This is usually only a small amount and is more common in people who are overweight. The amount is small and usually not clinically significant. There was no difference, however, in the leakage back to the skin when there was bleeding and when there was no bleeding. Thus, the specific answer to your question is that you got the insulin injected properly and that there was no additional leakage, even though there was bleeding.
A more serious type of leakage occurs with insulin pens, when the needles are left on the pens between injections. Under these conditions, air enters the cartridge and the injection takes so long that insulin is usually still dribbling from the pen after it is removed from the skin. You can miss up to 2/3 of your injection when this happens. To prevent this, you should remove the needle after each injection and replace it before the next, or else leave the pen in the skin for 10 to 15 seconds or until there is no leakage after the pen is removed.

Puberty+Diabetes+My Teenage Daughter+Me= Please Help!
Q: Everything right now is a fight for my teenage daughter with diabetes. She is 1 out of 6 children in our family and seems very angry that she is the only one who has diabetes. When my daughter has high levels, she is unbearable. She has since moved in with her father (we are divorced), but she will probably be back soon since he doesn't know how to take care of her.
I would like to get her blood sugar under control. It has been out of control since she was diagnosed at 11. Her doctor is now working on getting her an insulin pump, which she has wanted for almost 2 years. He thinks it will help her get better control.
Recommend any good books? I try to be sympathetic. I realize it must be hard for her to be 13, in school and to watch all of the other kids drinking cokes and eating candy bars. Would counseling help?
Sherrie Dunlap
Wilmington, North Carolina
A: It sounds as though you and your daughter have a number of issues to be resolved. First of all, you are right that 13 is a difficult age for everyone, and to have to deal with diabetes, poor control and a divorce is more than many kids might be able to handle. All of these losses can cause grief responses that manifest themselves in a variety of ways.
Yes, counseling would help give her some support and insight into her behavior. Often, her pediatrician or school guidance counselor can recommend a good counselor in your area. A positive relationship with a counselor may give her the boost she needs to get over this difficult hump.
You are very wise to listen to your daughter. She may need you to truly listen to how rough it is and what her struggles are, as well as give her strength to deal with her issues. It is important for her to see that she can turn something unfortunate into a strength.
Some parents and siblings help their teen by listening and allowing them to wallow in their grief for a while, then gently guiding them toward "getting over it." Although you feel sorry that she has diabetes, it is important that you not be over-pitying, which can contribute to her own self-pity.
Insulin pump therapy might improve her quality of life and give her a greater sense of control over things. That is important to evaluate.
With regard to your request for a book, have you seen "In Control: a Guide for Teens with Diabetes?" It is available from John Wiley and Sons, or you can check out the Web site www.diabetes.fyi.net.

Great tool and cover all the requirements you need. I keep one in my study to "tinker" with guitars and one in the workshop for 1001 other tasks. My only suggestion is the desire for compactness means the bits are very close together and my chunky fingers make it hard to access some bits. Problem solved with needle nosed pliers.
This is a must have for in the shop or at a gig. I recieved this as a Christmas gift and have loved using it in my workshop. It is a relief because I used to have a huge bin of screwdrivers and other stuff. The only thing that was different is that the handle is pretty small. It isn't a good thing or a bad thing, but I was expecting something bigger. Overall, a great tool.
I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and well thought out design of this kit. The no-slip slot-head screw tip is perfect for Waverly vintage type screws. The case keeps everything in its place, easy to find! A must have for any shop!
Keep it in easy reach! Incredibly useful, and all in one molded case. Bits are skinny, appropriate to the driver, but also work in a drill.
Recently I ordered a guitar tech screwdriver set - it arrived with a damaged case, so I sent a couple of images detailing the damage and a new replacement was sent immediatley. Super service and a real good attitude -- thanks very much Stewmac !!
This screwdriver set could only have been thought of by guitar players and luthiers. Born out of the frustration of not having the right tool at hand or needing to have lots. Everything you need here to do essential repairs in one well laid out box. The screwdeiver handle is for 'finer' work and won't give large amounts of torque but I would suggest it's no meant to. Excellent quality, highly recommended.
I have found this tool to be VERY handy to have in the gig back. The only draw back is that it gives hardly any mechanical advantage.
Excellent quality kit that is small enough to fit in a guitar case. This kit is a great purchase for those looking for top quality tools to do small repairs and adjustments to their guitar or bass. I am thinking about buying another kit for me home workshop.
I love the screwdriver set. Every bit I need is handy and it fits in my guitar case.
This is something every guitar player can use.
I love this G.T.Screwdriver set. I remember when i was a kid my father give me a birthday gift a set of precision screwdrivers. and I'm the only kid have a set of screwdrivers that time. Then till now I'm the only MAN in our place have this G.T.Screwdriver set. It make my work fast! Peace!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We love how this card turned out! We ordered the Pearl Shimmer finish with rounded corners. The purple hues match everything we are doing at our daughter's Kauai wedding next month and are so vibrant and beautiful. It will "pop" on the white linens and the green Cymbidium orchid at each place setting."
"Not only did the color and text come out exactly how we wanted, but having the option to decorate the back was most helpful! We uploaded a photo of us and wrote our donation message in lieu of favors on the bottom! 2 birds, one stone! And they cropped our photo beautifully!! This is a great option!!"
"This menu card looked stunning when it arrived. Wedding Paper Divas's customer service was excellent and answered all my questions. I worked with the designer to change the format for three courses instead of the four you see, and changed it to add images related to my wedding theme. The end result was amazing and I cannot wait to see these displayed on each plate at my wedding."
"The option to choose a color is a great feature. What I loved most was the ability to change the format. You can add or remove a course with no problems. Also, if you have more to write in the allotted space...DON'T worry! Divas' will fix it and make it work!!"
"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."

With greens fees on the rise and meeting budgets stagnant, planners of golf events face a challenge: Put on the same top-notch tournament as always — but for the same amount of money as last year (and the year before that). Moreover, the number of people signing up for golf tournaments is declining, thanks to tighter corporate purse strings.
Frank Sablone, president, Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute Inc., Naperville, Ill., has seen this latter trend firsthand. In the late 1990s, 220 players would routinely participate in TLMI's annual golf tournament, but now the numbers are between 180 and 200.
One good piece of news is that the overbuilding of golf resorts in the past several years means buyers have a lot of leverage at many resorts. And if the rate at an on-site course is too high, planners can look off-site to nearby courses. Here are some other cost-saving tips:
- Avoid Top-Tier Golf Courses
"You don't have to play the Pinehurst No. 2's or Pebble Beaches of the world to have a good event," says Teresa Williams, director, GMAC-RFC, Atlanta, citing two of the most prestigious courses in the country. "Most golfers are mid- to high-handicappers and just want to play."
- Book Off-Season
Here's just one example of the savings resulting from booking a course off season: At Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas, greens fees at the two Tom Fazio — designed courses range from $180 to $240 in the prime seasons but drop to $135 to $180 in the value seasons.
- Hold a nine-hole tournament instead of the traditional 18 holes
These tournaments take half the time of 18-hole rounds and, if executed properly, cost less. However, many resorts don't offer nine-hole rates and will charge the 18-hole fee unless the planner requests a discount. "A facility may say they only do 18-hole tournaments," says Nancy Berkley, president, Berkley Consulting Inc. "But it's competitive out there right now. If event planners stick to their guns, they should be able to demand better pricing."
- Jazz up your nine-hole event
Planners can beef up a nine-hole outing by adding a 30-minute demonstration or lesson conducted by local pros. Or they can forgo a golf tournament and replace it with skills contests — outings where people don't actually play a round, but instead gather to compete in contests such as longest drive, closest to the pin, chipping, and putting, with awards given to the winners.
- Go light on lunch
"Golfers can get by with a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and a bag of chips," says Sablone of Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute Inc. Save the coleslaw, granola bar, brownie, and the fancy box it all comes in, because it's too much food — and it's not necessary. Sablone buys his own brown paper bags and requests that the resort put the lunches in them. "I don't want to spend the extra $2 on this elaborate box that basically gets thrown out."
- Have a cookout at one of the holes
It doesn't have to be fancy — just hot dogs and hamburgers, which the players can grab and go. It may end up being cheaper than having the resort put together a boxed lunch.
- Cut out the booze
Choose to pick up the cost of beer, wine, and soft drinks, and let individuals pay for hard liquor if they want it. Or, put bottles of beer, wine, water, or soft drinks on the cart before the tournaments starts. If an individual consumes more than the pre-determined per-person amount, he or she has to pay for it.
- Keep gifts simple
Consider using trophies, which are cheaper than golf equipment, clubs, and bags. Or cut back on certain contests — such as the longest-drive competition, which is difficult for anyone other than the best players to win — and you won't need to give out prizes for those.
Find out what kinds of prizes your attendees would value, Berkley advises. Books or CDs may be more appreciated by some attendees, while others may find more value in a gift certificate redeemable at the pro shop. "Imagine if you asked people what size shirts their children wear so you can print personalized T-shirts with their names on them." It wouldn't cost much, she says, and the gift would have great value for some attendees.
- Beef up your sponsorship program
Obtaining sponsorships for everything from the beverage cart to the closest-to-the-pin contest is a good way to enhance relationships with vendors and, of course, to help defray the costs of the tournament.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike Close Match I have bashed a couple other pieces I purchased fairly hard, but the 3 sets of 4 plates I ordered as replacements weren't bad! This set, still made in China, were a very close match to the rest of the set which we have had for more than 10 years. The color is slightly creamier than earlier pieces, but the weight and thickness seem about the same. Overall, very happy with these plates so far and they match our older set very nicely. March 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by jc7954 warped plates I ordered 3 sets of 4 dinner plates. I had to send ALL of them back. Each and everyone was warped. I could have gotten a better product at the Dollar Store. I have reordered since I already have cups, bowels and serving pieces for 12. I the reorder plates are warped I will never buy pfaltzgraff again. February 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Amy01 Looks good I've had the heritage style for almost 10 years. I needed a few more plates so obviously I came here. Much to my dismay, the plates look the same but our made much thinner. I'm very disappointed because I know they will break easier December 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Margit Bad product I would have gotten a better product at the dollar store. The plates do not look at all and do not match the rest of my collection. The plates are thinner and gray in color. Please advise on how I'm able to receive the proper dishes. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda47D Excellent Product I recommend this pattern for durability and its' classic design. No one has complained about it or suggested we upgrade"! It services 24 guests in our Lake Gaston rental home and has been in use for 7 years. We often buy more because oddly sets of 4 plates, bowls and cups disappear simultaneously. Obviously, it is a crowd pleaser. July 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Shel60 Classic but hard to clean. This pattern is versatile and classic. My only issue is the dark marks that seem to appear out of nowhere. Takes extra time and elbow grease to remove even at that some will not come off. These marks make A beautiful set look dingy and dull. July 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by shortgort not satisfied I was suprised my plates do not match my old ones, having them made in China is a problem for me, June 19, 2013

Ireland is a mix of old and new, quiet countryside and exuberant cities. This "Emerald Isle" is truly a jewel of a destination.
Hi, I'm Patty Kim. Ireland: it's an exciting mix of the old and the new. Here you'll find the quiet of the countryside and the exuberance of the city. But Ireland is still well stocked with those glorious castles and windswept landscapes. It really is a jewel of a destination… deserving of its nickname, "the Emerald Isle."
Historically, Ireland was divided into the four provinces of Leinster, Munster, Connacht, and Ulster. Today most of Ulster is now Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland covers five-sixths of the island. Its capital is Dublin.
In Dublin, start along the River Liffey for tours of Dublin's architecture. Visit Trinity College and explore Ireland's oldest university and its vast libraries.
But for a real brush with history, travel to the Boyne Valley in County Meath and see Newgrange. This massive tomb is similar in purpose to the Pyramids of Giza, though it was built over five thousands years ago, before the Pyramids were even a twinkle in a Pharaohs' eye. Ireland's Stone Age inhabitants built it to house their honored dead…and perhaps for something more. At sunrise on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, a beam of light enters the central chamber. What significance this had for the builders is a still a matter of debate. Enter the tomb and decide for yourself. The experience is illuminating.
Ireland has produced a plethora of castles, churches and towers. Its monasteries became important centers of learning during the Dark Ages and its fortresses were strategic battlegrounds against the island's frequent invaders. The Rock of Cashel, near Tipperary, served both a secular and religious function. According to legend, this fortress of the Munster kings was visited by St. Patrick himself and eventually became an important medieval cathedral.
If your tastes cater more toward scenery than history, you're in luck. Opportunities abound. Near Galway, the Cliffs of Moher rise more than 650 feet from the sea providing dramatic views of the coast. Also nearby are the surreal landscapes of the Burren with its cracked limestone and brooding ruins.
When it's time for more leisurely pace…you can travel along the River Shannon…ride horses in the Connemara…or stroll through quaint towns and lush countryside, colored in Ireland's forty shades of green.

Old film footage Max Euwe
As the 'Euwe year' comes to an end, we pay tribute once more to the 5th World Champion. Because Euwe won the world title exactly 75 years ago, Dutch broadcast corporation VPRO made available a big number of videos in which you can see Euwe together with players like Alekhine, Botvinnik, Capablanca and others. Historical footage!
We'll give a few examples of what you can find in VPRO's online archive:
- Euwe-Bogoljubov blitz (1928)
- Euwe & Capablanka looking forward to the Euwe-Alekhine match
- Max Euwe World Chess Champion (Polygoon news)
- World Chess Tournament 1948
- Euwe vs Botvinnik (blindfold blitz - this video is very good, see photo)
- Alekhine wins back title (Polygoon news)
- Euwe-Donner match
--> Find the VPRO archive here (links to the videos on the right side of the page)

Super footage, Alekhine has a funny voice. Is there any footage known where Steinitz or Lasker is seen?
Euwe also played a much stronger indian chess figure, Mir Sultan Khan, the never titled "natural genius", and one of the world very top (while he played). Ok, he was punjabi, in present-day Pakistan...
(Anyway, what was FIDE thinking?)

Incredible footage- it's so cinematic it almost doesn't look real. Awesome find chessvibes- thanks for sharing.

Yeah great footage. Euwe-Bogoljubov blitz (1928) they're mostly moving the pieces with one hand and pressing the clock with the other, don't they know anything?!?

Wow, very nice to see moving pictures of these players that are now chess legends.
Those were the days. Everybody looking very serious and distinguished. Packed auditoriums. Tournaments that lasted three months. Smoking at the board.
The more I learn about Euwe the more I am impressed. Teacher, top chess player, chess teacher and author, manager of a factory, chess world champion, computer pioneer, FIDE president.
Max Euwe remains one of the gentlemen-world champions of the game! india's first IM manuel aaron has paid glowing tributes in one of the issues of Chessmate, india's oldest chess magazine, published since 1983.
incidently, he has won the olympiad game against Euwe in Leipzig!!
sultan khan was technically the first world beater from india (when vishy anand was not born!) ; i come to know that sultan khan was sponsored by one,Sir.Omar Hayat Khan ; he was trained by English Masters like yates. according to popular belief, he was compelled to return from Europe by his patron and he later, stopped playing chess!
I don't know any other Indian Omar but Omar Khayyam and his Rubaiyat. Great work of art!
omar hayat khan was a nawab(a small chieftain/ruler) in the colonial British India. on the other hand, Omar khayyam was an astronomer, poet and a hedonist/philosopher! (possibly, he too must have played chess! since chess must have been played in his time in persia (now Iran); probably Mr.Edward winters may be having some thing in his sleeve in this regard!
Euwe a decent gentleman, devoid of any eccentrics, ego stuff etc., a rare one among the chess giants. Heard that Fischer once exclaimed ' I cant believe how he is normal'
3 years 3 months ago
Not to brag, but during the resarch for a book on our club, I found these pictures of a simul of Euwe in 1946 in Roeselare (40 boards). See http://picasaweb.google.com/yves.surmont/Euwe1946#
Happy New Year everybody!
For me the most amazing video was the blitz game between Boglyubov and Euwe from 1928. Note how both players not only forget to press the clock from time to time, but also consistently moves with one hand and press the clock with the other, something which is now regarded as highly unsporting in blitz.
3 years 3 months ago
Yes, but at least now it's clear why this is called "playing in the style of the old masters"!
