15 Comments
I really like the bedding in picture 3 - the fact I love the bed is definitely helping.
I'm loving simple bedding too. After trying to find a funky, printed duvet cover that would suit the headboard I designed, I finally opted for a textured white set that I can accent with colourful throw pillows. Simple bedding is definitely more versatile.
I think picture #3 is my favorite too. I also think that bed is amazing.
I much prefer these to the over-dressed bed.
anyone know where the bed frame in the first photo is from?
I love fuss-free bedding. A blanket, a duvet and couple of pillows has always suited me fine.
Love #3. I have a colorful quilt and some pillows on my bed, but that's it. Nothing super fussy.
The setup in #1 is very similar to what I have in my bedroom. Less is more when it comes to creating a relaxing space.
If a person really wanted to simplify, might they not choose some asian style sleeping arrangements (i.e. on the floor)?
Anyone know what the Jonathan Adler Parker bed is? Or a similar one?
I have these in white from West Elm. Love them.
Yes does anyone know where the Bedframe from Picture1 is from? Great looking room too!
These beds look practical, real, and comfortable. Overdressed beds look like retail stores' silly fantasy displays staged to sell linens rather than places to sleep well.
the bed in pic #1 is one of my favorites but at $6000 it's a dream bed right now.
SL02 MO Bed from e15
Anyone know the source or something similar from photo#3?
Elegant bed. I love the color and its simplicity. It fits perfectly on our room.

Dansby back in comfort zone with Cardinals
MAY 10, 2013 10:28a ET
"There was plenty of offers out there – everywhere I went," said Dansby, who named Cincinnati, Buffalo, the New York Giants and Atlanta as suitors. "You name it, man, all of them called."
The problem was that most of those offers were for one year and far less money than Dansby thought he deserved after leaving the Cardinals to sign a five-year, $42.5 million contract with the Dolphins in 2010.
"My price was pretty high at the time. I can't lie," said Dansby, who was released because he carried an $8.375 million cap hit. "But the numbers situation right now with the new CBA is totally different. The market changed; it had flipped. You have to make the best decision that's for you and your comfort zone."
For Dansby, coming back to the Cardinals was a no-brainer. He signed a one year deal worth $2.25 million with a $1 million signing bonus and a base salary of $1.25 million.
"I still had a house here -- paid for," he said, laughing. "Got cars here already. It was just simple, man."
Dansby also had plenty of former teammates pushing him to re-sign with Arizona, including receiver Larry Fitzgerald and defensive lineman Darnell Dockett, the latter of whom Dansby said has been pressuring him ever since he was released.
The Cardinals' decision was just as simple, especially on a one-year deal. The team's best defensive player, inside linebacker Daryl Washington, is + SHOW COMMENTS +

There's something about our time that is very Bergsonian, in the sense that there's a kind of simultaneous opening up of the past and the future, the former feeding the possibilities of the latter. At the same time as new technological tools propel us ever forward on trajectories of embodied interactivity (the internet, iPod-iPhone-iPad, YouTube, Facebook-Twitter, etc.), recording technologies (those that preserve something of the present for the future) combine with technologies of retrieval (those that unlock the past, from historical and archaeological tools to sampling technologies, about which see Copyright Criminals) to enable an ever deeper digging into and opening up of the past. In the process, the past becomes fuel for the reinvention of ourselves toward the future, this reinvention always taking the form of images — which, for Bergson, are central, the shimmering half-way point between mind and matter.
Let me explain. I get that feeling of simultaneously backward and forward glancing, pastwardness and futurity, when, browsing around on YouTube, I find things I never would have thought I'd be coming back to. It's as if the past were an image archive that is being gradually dredged up, and its fossilized pieces are being liquefied and turned into blood flows that will revive and strengthen certain affective molecular currents, currents still in circulation in the collective social body of the present.
Here, for instance, is Magma, whose potent mix of late John Coltrane-style free-jazz intensity, Steve Reichian symphonic minimalism, Carl Orffian operaticism, and hard, driving rock, sent (mostly French) audiences into spells of ecstasy in the early 1970s. While that performance is from 2006 (old guys getting it together again), it would hardly have happened were it not for the redistribution of their records, archival recordings, and films as DVDs, MP3s, YouTube videos, and the like. Here's the guitar solo from Kohntarkosz. And then there's this bizarre film outtake from 1972, with Catholic priests grooving to the Kobaian rhythms. (Kobaia is the planet Magma presumably 'channeled' in a series of albums in the 1970s.)
Meanwhile, new films are made from the images of the past. This documentary on "Krautrock," the German progressive, avant and space rock movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, is quite good:
The music had its fans at the time (more in the UK than in North America), but the documentary does a great job putting it into the much broader context of post-war Germany, the 1960s, the psychedelic revolution, and all that. And yet somehow it doesn't feel dated to me; on the contrary, it feels as fresh as tomorrow's news, because I know there are fans out there, Radiohead generation kids and remixers and whoever else listening to these things and reviving them in ways I wouldn't have imagined possible back in the days when the music industry seemed like one stifling oligopoly. (You can watch all of it on Coilhouse. Thanks to Mutate for the tip.)
None of these are standard History Channel fare. All are products of the internet and MP3-era explosion of musical tastes, one of the cultural victories of our day — the losers being the big music corporations, or at least what they stood for. The corporations themselves are still around, of course, doing the same thing corporations do, and even if they weren't, they would simply have been replaced by others, made from the same movable parts of the corporate machine. But technology moves forward despite them.

Newfoundland and Labrador Restaurant Reviews
Seafood is an excellent value in Newfoundland and Labrador. Cod can be found panfried, baked, or poached; cold-water shrimp, snow crab, and lobster are also good choices. Many restaurants offer seasonal specialties with a wide variety of traditional wild and cultured species, such as steelhead trout, salmon, mussels, and sea scallops.
In July and August, Newfoundland's wild berries ripen. Partridgeberries, also called mountain cranberries, cowberries, and lingonberries (among other names), are used for pies, jams, cakes, pancakes, and in a delicious sauce for meats. Bakeapples, also known as cloudberries, look like yellow raspberries and grow on low plants in bogs. Pickers sell them by the side of the road in jars. If the ones you buy are hard, wait a few days and they'll ripen into rich-tasting fruit. The berries are great on ice cream, cheesecake, or spread on bread.

The Ballona Wetlands stretch from Playa del Rey to Venice. The site is owned by the state and managed by the California Department of Fish and Game as an ecological reserve. The California Coastal Conservancy and the California State Lands Commission are partners in the planning and restoration of the wetlands.
The development decades ago of Marina del Rey and the Ballona Creek Flood Control Channel severed the connection between the ocean and the freshwater Ballona Creek, leaving the wetlands unable to support many of the native species that once lived there.
The Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project aims to return the daily ebb and flow of tidal waters, maintain freshwater circulation and improve the overall ecosystem to give native species a chance to survive. Once restored, the wetlands could resume its role as a refuge for the millions of birds that travel from South America to Alaska each year.

Diet of Adolescents With and Without DiabetesPosted: Friday, June 23, 2006
Adolescents with type 1 diabetes consume fewer calories from carbohydrates but more calories from fat than adolescents without diabetes and exceed the recommended levels of fat intake, which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.
The study was done to compare the dietary intake of adolescents with type 1 diabetes with that of adolescents without diabetes matched on age, sex, and year in school and to compare the diets of both groups with recommendations.
Participants were 132 adolescents with type 1 diabetes, recruited from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and 131 adolescents without diabetes ranging in age from 10.70 to 14.21 years. Dietary intake was assessed with three 24-h recall interviews with each participant and one parent. Percentage of calories from protein, carbohydrates, and total fat; amount of each type of fat; and amount of cholesterol, fiber, and sugar were calculated as averages across 3 days.
The results showed that adolescents with diabetes took in less total energy than recommended. The percentage of calories from carbohydrates and protein were within recommendations for adolescents with and without diabetes, but adolescents with diabetes exceeded the recommended fat intake. The diet of adolescents with diabetes consisted of a greater percentage of fat and protein and a smaller percentage of carbohydrates relative to adolescents without diabetes. Adolescents without diabetes consumed more sugar, while adolescents with diabetes took in more of all components of fat than adolescents without diabetes. Male subjects with diabetes had an especially high intake of saturated fat.
The results showed that adolescents with type 1 diabetes consume fewer calories from carbohydrates but more calories from fat than adolescents without diabetes and exceed the recommended levels of fat intake. These findings are of concern given the risk that type 1 diabetes poses for cardiovascular disease.
We conclude by suggesting that families of adolescents with diabetes may not have kept pace with contemporary dietary recommendations that emphasize consuming nutrients from a variety of foods rather than restricting intake of sugars and other carbohydrates. Instead, families of adolescents with diabetes may still be overly concerned with the added sugar in candy, not recognizing that the blood glucose rise in response to added sugars is equivalent to that caused by other carbohydrates.[2] They may be more concerned that the sugar in candy is going to translate into high blood glucose levels today than that the fat in potato chips will translate into cardiovascular disease in 10 years. In an attempt to avoid foods high in sugar, adolescents with diabetes and their families may perceive foods high in fat and cholesterol as more acceptable.

For the fifth straight year, Education Week awarded Maryland with the nation's top score, a B-plus, in its annual "Quality Counts" report.
The score for each state was calculated based on scores in six categories, including measures of school finances, K-12 achievement and a "chance for success" measure that considers factors ranging from students' parental income to high school graduation rates.
Maryland scored a "B" in all categories except for an "A" in the "transitions and alignment" category, which focuses on early childhood education and readiness for college and the workforce. By comparison, the national average score was a "C-plus."
"One thing that shows every year is that Maryland makes a strong commitment to education," said Dana Tofig, spokesperson for Montgomery County Public Schools. "We have always placed high value on education and made it a point of civic pride, and that has certainly shown."
Amy Hightower, director of the research center at Editorial Projects in Education, which conducted the rankings for Education Week, agreed: "Maryland is a pretty well rounded state. This stuff does change slowly, but to have five years in the number one spot is a pretty big accomplishment."
The category in which Maryland received the lowest score is "K-12 Achievement," which still had a 83.9% grade that ranks third nationally.
The only category in which Maryland does not rank in the top ten nationally is one devoted to academic standards, assessment and accountability. However, this category is particularly strong nationwide, as Maryland received a "B-plus" grade that still ranks above the average score – a "B."
Montgomery County likely made significant contributions towards Education Week's high ranking: In U.S. News and World Report's 2012 ranking of the nation's best high schools, Montgomery County schools held Maryland's top seven spots. Winston Churchill High School led the state with a national ranking of 57.
"Certainly Montgomery County is very proud of being in the Maryland school system and the role we play in contributing to this ranking," Tofig said. "We invest, devote resources and invest ourselves in education. It's a point of pride in the state."
"Quality Counts" placed particular focus this year on the impact of a school's social and disciplinary environment on students' ability to learn and on the teachers and administrators tasked with guiding them, according to the report.
"The number one way to keep school safe is to have a good school environment," Tofig said. "There's an adult in that building that knows every child, and that's not just the job of counselors, but everyone to make sure that we are engaged in the day-to-day well-being in our students' lives."
This is particularly important now due to doubts regarding school safety in the wake of the December shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, he said.
Tofig added that Montgomery County has emphasizes developing two other main skill sets – aside from strong academics – that students should learn before they graduate in order to be successful: creative thinking skills and social skills.
These, he said, allow students to apply what they have learned to realistic situations, to problem solve and to effectively work with others. He added that this is what industry leaders are looking for in future employees.
"Schools are not necessarily designed to teach like that, but we are continuing to grow that in our schools," Tofig said.
"There is plenty to suggest [Maryland's] approaches are working," Hightower said. "Maryland's really great."

"Geno Smith will be suspended for the first game," Saban said Tuesday. "He's got other things to do in house that if he does, he'll be OK to play after that. We never had an issue with Geno. He's an excellent person. He's never been in trouble here before, never been in my office for anything."
Saban said Smith's mistake should be a learning experience for other players.
"When you make a bad choice, sometimes the consequences of that choice can really have a negative affect," Saban said. "Geno has been a really good person in the program. He just made a really bad choice, made several of them. Now he has consequences for it."
Smith was at practice Tuesday, but did not work with the first-team defense.
Linebacker C.J. Mosley, wide receiver Kevin Norwood and right guard Anthony Steen are all a part of Alabama's leadership group.
Mosley said he hopes Smith's suspension should resonate with the younger players.
"I hope so," Mosley said. "That was a distraction that luckily happened before the season. We don't want any distractions when the season comes. Hopefully he learns a lesson and everybody else can learn from it too."
Norwood said he was really shocked when he heard the news of Smith's arrest.
"Geno's a great guy, he really is," Norwood said. "I never heard anything negative about him to be honest. When I heard it, I was like wow. He knows that it's a lesson learned and he has to learn from it pretty much."
Steen said the team fully backed Saban's decision to suspend Smith.
"We all sat down and focused on what would be best for the team," Steen said. "What coach decided on, we basically told him it was up to him and that we would stand by his word."
Smith spent much of preseason practice working as Alabama's third cornerback in the "star" position. The Atlanta native had nine tackles, two pass breakups and two passes defended in 13 games as a true freshman.
Saban said while most see discipline as punishment, he views it as a way to help change a person's behavior.
"When you take something away that's important to somebody, that's going to have an impact on changing their behavior," Saban said. "That's what we thought was appropriate in this situation. … We did it in the best interest of the player. Hopefully, this will be something that will help him make better decisions in the future."
Smith was the first Alabama player to be arrested since February, when D.J. Pettway, Eddie Williams, Tyler Hayes and Brent Calloway were involved in multiple incidents of second-degree robbery and credit card fraud. They were eventually dismissed from the team.

Congratulations to W. Austin Spruill, MD, a pediatrician in Roanoke, Va. Dr. Spruill is this year's CDC Childhood Immunization Champion for Virginia. Dr. Spruill has been a pediatrician in Roanoke Virginia since 1990 and has been an advocate for childhood immunizations and a leader among physicians in the community for vaccine education throughout his career. Dr. Spruill led an internal effort within his pediatric group, Physicians to Children, to establish and implement a vaccination policy that focuses on the education of parents and caregivers by providing scientifically sound medical information about the efficacy and safety of vaccines. After receiving this information, parents or caregivers opting to delay immunizations for their children are asked to transfer to other providers.
Since the implementation of this policy at Physicians to Children, few parents have left the practice and the number of new patients presenting to the practice has exceeded the number who left. The end result has been more children in the Roanoke area have received or are receiving all recommended vaccines.

Champions are nominated by the Vaccines for Children staff for excellent in immunization practices. To discover who the current Immunization Champion is, click here.

Once Upon A Time....
There was a little girl; she was raised in a home to be "morally correct", to smile and say hi and to be agreeable more often than not. Move over Mrs. Butterworth, we are no longer having pancakes for breakfast. I'll take a Bloody, thank you very much.
Why do I write? Well, number one, because I can and number two, let's just say I'm way too busy to figure it out. I wasn't blessed with a singing voice, nor athletic ability. I can dance a bit, but not enough to win Dancing With the Anythings. One thing I know for sure is this. I have enough experience to know better. Whether I do better is scrutinized by many, yet, over all, I like me.
– By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
"Monday Always Leads to Murder"
Board member Mary Beth Topf, the director of our fall show, takes over our blog this week.
A Family Gardening Hobby Becomes A Career
One of the things I'm most proud of is the fact that my son got hooked on plant biology because of my interest in landscaping and gardening. He didn't like it originally, because when he was young I made him help me in the garden. Because some can look almost identical, I showed him the difference between weed seedlings and non-weed seedlings, just like my father showed me. I taught him the value of deadheading, dividing, right plant right place, fertilzing and watering needs, invasive and non-invasive plants, the list goes on and on. The most important thing I taught him was the responsibility we have to be stewards of our domains and that what we do can either help or hurt the ecosystems that we control - right in our own backyards. Erosion and watershed control, protecting natural areas from invasive plants and careless people, providing food and shelter for birds, insects and animals...all these things he took from me and made them his passion. He has turned his interest into a career - one with many options and opportunities.
It's my turn. Yes it is. I am going there. I am going to cover internet dating, cheating, sex, relationships and love. No need to agree or disagree. Sit back, relax and drink something strong. Things are about to get uncomfortable around here.
Alright, 4 scores and 7 years ago, I dove into the deep end of online dating. I currently have two dating profiles, Myspace, Facebook and probably a yahoo or two. Let's just say I am out there.

A Pack of Gems (As If Anyone Expected Otherwise)Wiesler | Nov. 14, 2013 | See all Wiesler's reviews »
Given how flawless Binding of Isaac and Super Meatboy were, you might be curious about McMillen's previous work. Well, I'll save you some time, this bundle is a great mix of video games, art, music and insight.
Here are just a few highlights. There is an excellent puzzle platformer with a twisted story called Time Fcuk, that feels like a more methodical, but equally brutal, Super Meat Boy. There is a very mysterious and whimsical adventure game called Aether, which has you exploring /solving other planets with your pet/friend alien. At this price, this is a steal for a great collection of fantastic games, and bonus features of a great video game maker.

Have you heard about Edmund McMillen? Indie game the movie? The Binding of Isaac? Super Meat Boy?
Well this is a masterpiece coming from his mind
The basement collection is a pack of very cool indie games, the curious spewer, the original meat boy game, the spectacular Time Fcuk! oh God is steve!!
Besides, look the price, a pack of indie games coming from Mr. McMillen that you are going to love. Now go ahead and add it to the basket, believe me it's a "must play" game
An eclectic mixethanjroberts | Oct. 24, 2013 | See all ethanjroberts's reviews »
If you enjoyed any previous games by Edmund, this is definitely worth a shot.
You'll fall in love with games like Aether and become hopelessly addicted to something like Spewer or Meat Boy. There's plenty of variety here, with interesting ideas and mechanics in every title, all tied together with Edmund's unique aesthetic.
The game is filled with unlock-able extras and features that show you behind the scenes and even allow you to play alpha versions of games like Aether & Spewer. This is truly a collection for the fans, but also for people who perhaps want to try out some earlier work from one of the makers of Super Meat Boy.

I got this collection mostly because of Indie Game the movie. Mcmillen speaks a lot about his first games and i was curious.
Well i'm not disappointed because every game of this bundle is really interesting. Edmund Mcmillen has a very unique universe and original ideas.
If you're curious and you want to experience something new this collection definitly worth its price !
From the Creator of Super Meat BoyKremlin_Krusher | July 20, 2013 | See all Kremlin_Krusher's reviews »
This collection is basically 8 games from the creator of Super Meat Boy, including his old prototype for Super Meat Boy, called Meat Boy. I personally love that game, and it's fun to have played it in it's early stage. If you got a few spare dollars pick this game up.

The sewage basin and the fixtures traps must be vented, either on a dedicated vent or tied in 42" above the main floor. You cannot tie into a vent below the flood rim of any of the fixtures it serves.
A sanitary tee is for transitioning a horizontal drain to a vertical drain, it should never be installed laying on it's back.

Well yes. I couldn't remember Miranda having a song though, and that coupled with casting Buckley sounded ominous.

This was lovely. I appreciate this sounds like damning with faint praise but I'll be shouting about this for days to come. I spent about two thirds of this with a ridiculous cheese-eating grin on my face and the other third profoundly moved. Not a Merlin watcher but Colin Morgan stole the show for me, Trevor Fox almost did, Caliban (didn't get cast list) felt genuine and his behaviour towards planes, a very small thing, was side-splitting, Jessie Buckley was charming and Roger Allam, well, everyone knows how good he is and as if he was going to play Prospero badly! Songs, I can't remember disliking Globe music and it's not going to start here, Morgan has a lovely voice (as do Buckley and Allam, but we knew that). Puppetry/gimmicks used just right. Brief flashback to the very tedious marriage scene in Nunn's version - no tedium here. So many belly laughs. Allam and Buckley had a great relationship, Ferdinand is a Shakespearean character I HATE but loved here and what great scenes their shared scenes were. As a groundling, oh how I loved the ship! I felt such a deal of empathy and affection to pretty much every character here. So elated by this, lovely really is the word I'd used to best describe it. I'm sure incidental details will come back to me (the costumes! The codpieces!) as I drift off to sleep (the final speech, my favourite in Shakespeare, poetically delivered (best verse-speaking I can recall in a long time)) and will only make me smile more.
P.S. Elisabeth Hopper was rather good in Nunn's version. Why haven't I seen anything of her since? If the answer is "You've seen the wrong things" or "You've not been paying attention", it's what I'm expecting.

For astonishing injustice put to rest, at long last, the moviegoer has at least two options. One: "Les Miserables." And two: "West of Memphis," a strong, blood-boiling documentary from director Amy Berg, who made the similarly fine "Deliver Us From Evil," about a defrocked Catholic priest's appalling crimes and those of his protectors.

Where would the carbon come from? Do you also have a carbon filter that you don't want to mention?
If there is no carbon filter, I might suspect manganese and if so you might want to treat it separately.
We live in Arizona - very hard water. We installed a whole house water softener about 5 years ago. Don't want to mention the brand name. The issue is that after the automatic cleaning, the water that comes from the faucet is black. We feel we are having to run the faucets longer each month until the water turns clear again. We have it serviced annually and there is never any issue. The company is telling us it's just carbon dust that has been mixed up and not flushed properly. Our water pressure at the house is probably around 60...semi-rural area of Phoenix. The first two years after the installation we never had black water...now it seems it's getting worse. The sediment in the toilet tanks is very fine like a dust. The bowls get stained and require a pumice stone to remove the stains. We are wondering, what is this doing to our appliances and clothes?
Is this normal, or are we being fed a line of................?
Thank you.

We are told the Carbon is in the tank, put there by the manufacturer to filter out any chlorine. When the regeneration happens, the carbon gets mixed up and is just not flushing properly, but nothing is wrong with the system is what we are told.

I have seen this before. The carbon is exhausted and needs to be changed. The unit does not rinse enough to clear the water after a regen. You either put up with it until all the carbon is gone or have it replaced.
The Water Softerner technician is telling us this is normal and that it's not clearing becuase our water pressure is too low, or our local Water Company is adding so much clorine to the water, that the carbon is really active. How do I convince them that the carbon is exhausted?
It sounds like manganese in the water. Take a raw water sample and have it tested. Carbon fines will NOT cause staining. Just black particles in the water. Manganese will have black particles and impart a grey tint to the water and stain toilets grey.
The carbon is being ground up by the resin and fine enough to go down through the resin bed and up the distributor tube out to the fixtures. That's why the dealer wants more water pressure, but that won't solve any problem, it will help grind up more carbon though. This is why it is a bad idea to mix carbon and resin.
You should dump your resin and carbon into a few 5 gal buckets and using a garden hose, flush the carbon up and out of the buckets. Then reinstall the resin. Or buy new resin and replace the old.

Salvadoran Navidad vs. American Christmas
Sometimes I forget how different our childhoods were. This morning, the following conversation:
Tracy: So, in El Salvador, did you open a gift on Noche Buena? [Christmas Eve]
Carlos: Yes.
Tracy: And then you opened the rest Christmas morning?
Carlos: What rest? There was only one.
Posted on December 11, 2011, in celebration, Culture, el macho, Salvadoreños. Bookmark the permalink. 15 Comments.
Kind of sad actually but really funny! I laughed. I hope it doesn't make me a bad person.
Acá en El Salvador no acostumbramos regalar, en realidad uno a lo mucho de nuestros padres y a veces de otros familiares o amigos. Lo que si acostumbramos es a tener una gran fiesta con toda la familia. Mucha comida, música, baile, fuegos pirotécnicos y ambiente familiar.
I laughed not because it's funny, but because it sounds just like me life growing up in Mexico! Although my awesome mom would make lots of sacrifices so we could open a little gift on Reyes Magos as well…
rofl… the traps u walk into… pobrecit0… ur right though i think sometiems i make a huge deal out of christmas while my bf is like "whats a tradition" triste verdad?
This would be my husbands response who was born here and came at the age of 12!!!! I love your blog.
I know it is sad but I laughed too. *blushing* But, like Heart in Hand said, he has come a long way. :-)

Latest Discrimination Articles
Popular Discrimination Articles

Send a link to this page to your friends and colleagues.
Recently, I had a phone call from a friend seeking advice on whether or not to hire a nanny who has diabetes. I was shocked.
Why was this even an issue? In her interview, the young woman mentioned that she wears an insulin pump. She is clearly motivated, disciplined and attentive, as evidenced by her intensive approach to diabetes self-care. These are ideal traits in a caregiver. But that doesn't change the fact that even my friends are unsure about what is and is not discrimination when it comes to diabetes.
Discrimination Against Diabetics Is Everywhere
Discrimination against people with diabetes exists in many forms and in many places. We see discrimination in schools, the workplace, even in families. Yes, you read that right—in families. Discrimination, to me, occurs any time I am told that I can't do something because of my condition. When I am not given a fair opportunity, I am discriminated against.
There is really nothing more infuriating. In fact, this is the reason I wound up at the Miss America Pageant in the fall of 1998. Someone told me that a person with diabetes, wearing a device, would never be allowed to participate in the pageant. I decided to find out for myself.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has taken a hard stand against discrimination. They even have an entire department dedicated to legal advocacy. Over the last several years, they have tried and won cases against discrimination in jails, schools, workplaces, even in social settings.
One of the most famous cases dealt with employment. Jeff Kapche, a San Antonio police detective, won a federal appeals victory after reaching the Fifth Circuit twice, and he was finally allowed to be promoted to police officer, a position he had been denied because of his diabetes.
The diabetes support doesn't end in the courts. Cari Dominguez, the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), also cares about discrimination and diabetes: She has diabetes and wears an insulin pump.
People Are Willing to Fight for You
As the resources for living well with diabetes continue to expand, it is comforting to know that in the most severe instances, there are people willing to fight for the rights of those of us with this condition. However, we have an obligation in this struggle as well. Ignorance and fear are the main causes of discrimination. We must constantly do our part and use our voices to educate or take the lead. If we see or hear something that isn't quite right, we need to report it or right it ourselves. That is what I had to do with my friend who was hiring a nanny.
If you need the help of an attorney, you can contact the legal department of the ADA at (800) DIABETES. They have more than 250 attorneys in a network committed to helping solve legal issues for people with diabetes.

Gov. Dalrymple Declares Emergency for Devils Lake Basin FloodingGovernor Dalrymple is also seeking a presidential emergency declaration that would assist the Devils Lake area in the on-going flood fight. Dalrymple's state order would allow for emergency preparations for spring flooding.
By: WDAZ Staff Reports,
North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple issued an emergency order Tuesday to provide flood protection to the Devils Lake Basin, including the counties of Benson, Nelson, Ramsey, Towner and the Spirit Lake Nation.
"The citizens in the Devils Lake Basin are facing the constant threat of flooding and this action will allow emergency preparations for spring flooding to go forward," Dalrymple said in an a Tuesday release.
Dalrymple is also seeking a presidential emergency declaration that would assist the Devils Lake area in the on-going flood battle. The presidential declaration would allow for federal resources to be disbursed and financial assistance to help cities, counties and tribal areas respond to the spring flooding.
The request for a presidential emergency comes after the National Weather Service projected a substantial rise in the level of Devils lake this spring.
Gov. Dalrymple is also seeking $5.8 million in federal matching grant funds to help the city of Minnewaukan.
"The city of Minnewaukan is experiencing flood-related problems at the lake's current level and any additional flooding this spring would create serious problems for home owners, businesses, the school and the city," Dalrymple said. "We are committed to doing our part in providing an effective response to spring flooding. We are also working with all stakeholders for a permanent solution that will end the on-going stress and loss experienced by the people of Minnewaukan."
