Ah…Venice. James and I visited during our college days, almost (ahem) twenty years ago, and not much has changed. There are still way too many pigeons in St. Mark's Square. They still require you to dress modestly in the basilicas. The gondolas are still horribly overpriced. And the canals and bridges are just as magical and quaint as ever.
One big difference for us, though. These two little monkeys we decided to drag along with us. But we came prepared. For weeks before our trip (and years, really — I bought the book when Liam was 2), we read Olivia Goes to Venice. The week before we left it was Violet's very favorite book. We rented a two-bedroom apartment close to St. Mark's Square. We planned only one, maybe two outings per day, with lots of time built in to go back to the apartment to rest in the afternoons. And we packed as light as humanly possible for a family of four so we wouldn't have too much luggage to drag from the train.
And I'd say, all things considered, we had a fabulous time. There were moments that weren't so great (the line inside St. Mark's Cathedral that Liam just about lost his shit about, our stupidly overpriced first dinner, our bathroom that reeked of cats), but the weather was fantastic and, what am I complaining about?! We spent a week in freakin' Venice!!
Although, I do have to say, our first night was a little rough. After four hours on the train and another hour getting the Vaporetto (Venice's mass transit system) to our apartment, we settled into our rather amusing digs — not a level floor in the place, or curtains in the bathroom…hello, neighbors! — and I set out to get groceries for my hungry family. We were on the first floor, up one set of stairs from a large entry way. I went to unlock the door to the street — it appeared I could just push a button — but the door wouldn't budge. I monkeyed with that thing for five minutes before I ran up to get James. Then he monkeyed with it for another five minutes before I called the owner. She was a bit perplexed, but said she was sending her husband to come help us. Hungry, tired children don't wait happily. Neither does hungry, tired mommy. He showed up after maybe 30 minutes, and of course he opened the door just fine! But after some explaining we discovered what had happened: another tenant in the building at locked the deadbolt from the outside when they left the building, apparently locking everyone else inside. Are you kidding me? What are we supposed to do if this happens again?! He just shrugged his shoulders and said to call him. Perhaps I should start saying because…Italy! At any rate, he said he'd alert the other stupid American tourists not to throw the deadbolt. (I might have added the stupid part.) Finally, I made it home with groceries, and my children ate like Gremlins after midnight.
Our first full day in Venice we started at the Doge's Palace, an easy walk from our apartment. We met a long line, but it moved fast. The kids enjoyed watching the boats, or as Violet called them, "The boatsies." As per usual, Liam rushed us through the palace, complaining about how boring it was until we got to the Bridge of Sighs and the prison rooms. Then he had a fabulous time traipsing through the dungeons and looking at the shiny armor. Violet fell asleep in the Boba and slept through the whole thing.
Gelato o'clock! Liam ate his vanilla waffle cone while I surreptitiously shot some photos. Violet continued to sleep.
While people watching in the square, I spied an Asian tour group with a tour guide speaking softly into a tiny microphone while the group listened intently on their ear pieces. Very high tech!
Then we were off to see the famed Rialto Bridge! Liam was fairly unimpressed, but he did notice it was just like it was pictured in our Olivia book.
After lunch and siesta at our apartment (I'm so glad we rented close to everything!), we let Liam lead us around the streets until we got hungry for dinner. We landed in a piazza and we chose a sleepy restaurant with tables outside. The kids chased pigeons while we waited for our overpriced meal. Seriously, 75 Euros to feed four people! The restaurant was called Al Burchiello, and looking back on Trip Advisor, the consensus was average food at inflated prices.
Wednesday morning we stood in a very long line for the San Marco Basilica. Liam was actually pretty good standing in line…until we got inside and he realized the line continued pretty much through the entire church. And then, oh the complaining! There are signs all over the basilica requesting silence, but that had no effect on my increasingly impatient eight-year-old. (Violet was, of course, sleeping this whole time.) Faced with another line at the stairs to the roof, we almost skipped it. But I remembered that was really the best part of the basilica, so after some bribery and threats of abandonment, we made it to the rooftop. There we could wander freely, and it was as if a pressure valve had been released. Smiles on everyone's faces. (Well, except Violet, who was…yes, still sleeping)
Gelato o'clock! I know. This is turning into a thing. Our guidebook suggested a trip to the Naval History Museum would entertain young children, so we decided to walk along the shore and check it out. Violet woke up along the way. It turned out to be a rather small museum, but with a lot of huge boats. No lines and very spacious, so the kids had a great time.
Afterward we found much better and affordable food in the Castello neighborhood at a restaurant called Al Canton. My pesto was outstanding, and even better was the chocolate torte.
That evening I took the kiddos on a little walkabout. They had a blast chasing pigeons in the square. It was probably their favorite thing about our trip to Venice. We made our way to the harbor, then wandered our way along the Grand Canal. Eventually Violet fell asleep on my back, and Liam and I wandered our way to a…you guessed it…gelato stand. Third of the day for my little ice cream addict! It was lovely wandering the city as the street lights flickered on…until we got to St. Mark's Square. Then we were accosted by dudes hawking these flying, spinning glow sticks. I told Liam to tell them, "No Grazie." He had to say it about five times as we crossed the square. I really thought it would be like magic to walk through the square at night. So annoying!
Thursday morning we sprung for the two-day Vaporetto passes (an astounding 30 Euros a piece!) so we could more easily get around Venice and outlying islands. Liam kept calling them "busoats," combining "bus" and "boat." This kid cracks me up.
We popped by the Guggenheim to see my very favorite painting in the whole wide world, a Rene Magritte masterpiece called The Empire of Light. I first laid eyes on this work back in '99, the last time I was in Venice, and I was completely entranced. So much so that I came back home and painted it on canvas for myself. Family and friends may recognize it from the walls of my houses — regrettably my version is currently in storage.
James is not so into modern art (putting it lightly), so we headed to a nearby church that was featured in one of our favorite films, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. We had fruitlessly searched for it twenty years ago, before Google made everything so easy to find. Lo and behold! Hubby looks so happy!
Back on the "busoat" and to the Jewish Ghetto we went! Interesting piece of history here, dating back to the 1500s. You can read about it here. Interesting history for me, as well — I'm almost certain I stayed at a hostel in the main square when I was here in college. The kids, of course, could care less about the history. Time to chase pigeons!
On our way back to the apartment we stopped for yet more gelato, and I discovered my favorite flavor: Kookie Tango, a mix of vanilla, chocolate, caramel and sugar cookies. Divine!
Energized, we decided the line for the climb to the top of the Campanile didn't look too long. Let's do it! Violet kept pointing and asking if it was going to fall down, like in her Olivia book. Predictably, she fell asleep before we made it to the top. And — a welcome surprise — there was an elevator straight to the top! The views were amazing.
After dinner, I took the kids on another walkabout. We came upon some gondoliers tying up for the night. As we watched them, one of them playfully took his oar and tapped Liam's foot. Everyone around us laughed, including us. Violet couldn't stop shouting "Gondola!" every time she saw one.
Friday morning as we headed back through St. Mark's Square, we saw a huge cruise boat sailing past the square in the lagoon. As we looked through the clock tunnel, it looked otherworldly next to all of the Venetian architecture.
We took the "busoat" out to Murano to watch a glass blowing demonstration. Liam totally dug it. Violet slept through it.
Thankfully Violet slept through all of our glass souvenir shopping, too. Liam got reprimanded for picking up a very heavy piece of art…marked 350 Euros, yikes! Ok, time for lunch! We found a little Italian place along a canal — two orders of lobster gnocchi and fries for 50 Euros. A cover charge for the table, plus a charge for bread and bottled water…it all adds up. Sheesh.
For our last evening stroll, I took the kids back to St. Mark's Square while James started packing our things. After chasing pigeons and each other, we wandered over to hear the bands play. Two bands across the square from each other would play classical music and more modern medleys, one after the other. Each had a piano, violin, bass, and clarinet player. Liam asked if I'd like to waltz, which he'd learned how to do in school this year. Eighteen years ago I sat in St. Mark's Square at midnight with my college friends watching adults in fancy dress waltz to the music, and here I am now waltzing in the square with my eight-year-old son. "Mommy, now I have to spin you!"
Saturday we bid Venice farewell and, as the Italians would say, arrivederci. We took a "busoat" to the train station, and the kids and got to ride in the very front. Violet hollered, "Rialto!" as we passed the bridge. Liam peppered me with questions about the sinking city. What a great send off!

CABINET Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood has been asked by the Prime Minister to look into a public row between two of the government's most senior ministers about policy on Islamist extremism, Chancellor George Osborne has confirmed.
David Cameron has asked for a report on the spat between Education Secretary Michael Gove and Home Secretary Theresa May to be delivered to him "in short order", and Mr Osborne confirmed that Sir Jeremy is taking part in the inquiry.
The pair's dispute spilled into the public domain, overshadowing the launch of the Government's legislative programme in the Queen's Speech, with the publication of a letter earlier this week in which Mrs May questioned the Department for Education's response to allegations that extremists had attempted to infiltrate schools in Birmingham.
Loading article content
Reports suggest that the pair have clashed over Mr Gove's insistence that radicalisation must be tackled at its roots by stepping up the government's Prevent strategy to take on those spreading extreme messages in the community, which Mrs May is said to fear risks antagonising mainstream Muslims.
Mr Osborne told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The Prime Minister has asked Downing Street, and that includes the Cabinet Secretary, to establish the facts of who said what to whom in the arguments."

A few days ago, we were watching Japanese Style Originator with my girlfriend. This is a Japanese TV Talk Show available on Netflix dealing with many topics around Japanese culture from food to crafting secular items. Then she made me realize that I still could do a Working Holiday Visa for Japan. Therefore our next destination was settled.
I've always been fascinated by Japan as a country so far away from where I grew up in France; and also as a culture so different from mine. I first discovered this far-away land through the prism of video games! In fact the first reason I wanted learn Japanese was to understand games that never made it to North America (Europe is another problem). I haven't achieved that goal as of yet but I will be working on it pretty soon.
Anyway, now is the time to put things in motion. I might not be 31 yet (the age limit to apply to a WHV for Japan) but the clock is ticking and I need to save money in order to meet the requirements from Japan. Basically I need €4,500 (roughly $6,700CAD or $4,900USD). My plan is to go back to work as well as to sell most of my extended video game collection. Right now it's actually stored on two continents and doesn't get much love.
See you next time for a new development

I wanted to send you this personal note to tell you how delighted we all were to find your Maui home in its usual pristine and up to date condition with ample supplies of the things one needs during an altogether too short beach vacation!! We were both delighted and impressed with your added welcoming touches of hibiscus blossoms and 'essential' Maui treats such as bottled water, fruit juices, coffee, chocolate, macadamias, etc. All in all a good experience! Thank you.
This is the best place to stay on the island. Elizabeth was very kind and it was extremely easy to set this up. This condo is on the ground floor, which makes it only a 2 minute walk to a perfect beach for swimming and snorkeling. The lawn outside the condo also offers mini-golf, shuffleboard, and bocce ball, all with a breath-taking view. Fantastic restaurants and shops are only a 5 minute drive, can't recommend Sensai enough. Also, for those looking for great hikes there are multiple in the surrounding area within driving distance that makes this a perfect spot for both relaxation and some fun adventures. I can't wait to come back!
This condo is amazing. Huge thank you to Elizabeth for setting us up. She was so kind and helpful. Ground floor is the way to go - walk outside and I was next to tide pool's with sea turtles. Very well kept lawn has shuffleboard and mini golfing plus a pool and tons of lawn chairs. One of the best beaches I have ever been is not more than a 2 min walk. Eating and shopping is easy a 5 min drive. It truly felt as if I was on vacation at my own personal home.
Appliances were modern and the contertops were perfect for making a quick snack. All the things you could possibly need were available for use, even a pineapple cutter! 10/10 will come back to visit again.
This location has everything. It is steps away from one of the nicest beaches on Maui, a beautiful reef to snorkel, a short walk to shops and restaurants... I could go on. The condo is very well kept and up to date and Elizabeth was extremely helpful getting us all accommodated. We especially loved this unit in particular because it is on the ground floor allowing for easy beach access out the back door. If you are visiting Maui this place is a must!

Elizabeth's place is fantastic! The bed was comfortable, with beautiful linens and good closet space. We appreciated the use of beach chairs, an umbrella, snorkeling gear, and boogie boards. The kitchen is modern and very well equipped. The view is beautiful and we loved the easy access to the lawn and pool. It is such an amazing community there with shared BBQ's, picnic tables and even free coffee in the mornings. We played boules, croquet and enjoyed morning walks along the beach which is steps away and one of the most beautiful on the Island. The snorkeling is epic - we saw turtles and many different kinds of fish - truly stunning. We loved our time there and would recommend Kihei Sufside #108 to anyone considering a trip to Maui!
Elizabeth could not have been more accommodating. She responded immediately to a few questions I had. We were visiting Hawaii for 2 weeks for our 40th anniversary and stayed 3 nights here, 4 on Kauai and a week on Oahu. We would love to come back and spend a full week relaxing on Maui and would not look for any other lodging. Great value, and thank you Elizabeth.

If you should be scanning this Rocket French evaluation then you already know just that Chinese is an interesting language to learn. Just about six months before I chose to pursue an imagine quarry to learn how to talk Italian. It's fairly no problem finding persons within my area who speak this language. As a young child, I was befriended by an Chinese household and was invited to many of these Saturday dinners. I've always thought that language to be charming. This article may concentrate on a Bomb German review.
As I started to search for a property examine program in Chinese, I really did not have any thought concerning wherever to check so I chose to ask the guidance of one of our local school professors. I was then presented to the Rocket Language Company. The professor was in the middle of understanding their Bomb German class and told me that this provider also offered classes in Asian, German, Spanish, Japanese and Italian. I began truth obtaining as I sought to look at this course. Based on all the different courses I had seen in the marketplace, the best option appeared to be that from Rocket. Maria DiLorenzi, an Chinese, produced this course. This program operates because it may not only be learned with performance but it's interesting as well. Useful German will be realized so that you will have a way to put it to use right away.
The coursework is presented in modules. In the very first component, there are a full of thirty-one audio tracks. Once you have your first few lessons below your belt, you will have the ability to talk some basic rocket italian. You'll progress to presenting a basic conversation fairly quickly.
Contained in the package are the transcripts of the audios. This may support the student follow combined with the course material. Each audio is all about 25 moments long meaning you will have around 13 hours of pleased with each full module. You will have the ability to absorb and talk Chinese quickly when you use the techniques which are put forth within this content. It might appear that thirteen hours is just a extended time. Nevertheless, when making use of the audio paths the time goes on quickly and effortlessly.
The program in the Bomb Chinese Class makes understanding fun and easy. The very first pc software program is called MegaVocab(TM).
There are 1,000 words and images built in to the software. As time progresses, you're allowed to include more phrases and images of your choice. I applied this have a good deal.
When I began using the MegaAudio(TM) application, or the third module, I started to experience really reassured. It had been in that the main course that I started initially to sense comfortable about all I'd discovered with the Rocket Italian Course.
Various workouts are provided with the program that will check the recognition you have of the talked word but it may also increase any acceptance you've of the words. You accomplish this by enjoying an music cut of an Italian word. You will then have to find the picture that's associated with this is of the word. Your effects is going to be scored so that you know so just how far you are progressing.

Roughly 25 women in pink shirts are sitting in the peanut gallery in Olympia right now, giving state Senators Rodney Tom and Steve Litzow the hairy stink eye. Planned Parenthood advocates are in Olympia today to shame/cajole/beg legislators to bring the Reproductive Parity Act (HB 1044) to the Senate floor for a vote.
But despite their earlier promises to support the legislation, Senators Tom and Litzow now seem intent on blocking the RPA at all costs.
- Planned Parenthood
Twenty five Senators previously pledged to support the RPA (HB 1044), including both Tom and Litzow. As Anna previously explained, even though the cutoff date passed for passing the bill out of the senate's healthcare committee two weeks ago, it can still be pulled to the floor via a "ninth order" maneuver as long as majority leader Tom and the other 24 senators who've claimed support for the bill show a little follow through.
Last night, 23 of those senators stood by their word and voted to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. Tom and Litzow voted against the bill. Today, senators brought up the bill again—this time via an insurance bill—and once again Tom and Litzow went back on their word and voted no.
The legislation would mandate that insurance carriers that cover maternity care to also cover abortion care on their plans, which is critical to maintaining abortion access for women. You see, while the passage of the Affordable Care Act ensures that more than 300,000 Washington women are gaining insurance coverage, the ACA also includes incentives for insurance carriers to drop abortion coverage. Passing the RPA would ensure that doesn't happen in Washington.
But let's face it: Lobbying the legislators who've already proven their contempt for women's rights—except on the most superficial, lip service levels—is the bleakest of Hail Marys. Tom has had many chances to ensure the RPA passed and he pissed away every one.
At this point, there's not much left to say but game over. And fuck you, Rodney Tom.

Over the past 30 years or so, ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) has grown from an inglorious collection of symptoms into a household name. Approximately 11 percent of children and 15 percent of adolescents in the United States are diagnosed with ADHD. Each American child is 6 times more likely to receive the diagnosis than a child in France and 60 times more likely than a child in Finland. In her recently published book, A Disease Called Childhood, psychologist Marilyn Wedge set out to find out why ADHD became an "American epidemic." She concludes with a decisive stance against the medicalization of childhood behavior, rampant prescription of stimulants classified as addictive and widespread misrepresentation of research in the name of ADHD.

Freud or Betty Crocker: What's Cooking?
Anna Freud, daughter of Sigmund, was also an influential psychoanalyst and worked predominantly with children who experienced deprivation. She was the first psychologist to recognize the importance of food as a therapeutic tool. Providing food was seen as a "corrective emotional experience" for children whose basic needs had been inconsistently met. This point of view had its detractors and it became suspect to "gratify children's wishes". Hostility to the pleasures of food and eating is a theme that continues today in rigid diet regimens and the constant barrage of food-bashing in the media. Continue reading
From Boys to Men
I have worked with pre-adolescent and adolescent males, primarily African-American, but other racial and ethnic groups as well, for more than 25 years. In my 15 years at The Kingsbury Center, I have specialized in working with those who have some sort of learning disability, be it a struggle to read, despite average intelligence; or slow processing, which inhibits the ability to work in "real time"; or internal distractions, like attention or anxiety, which make it challenging to be an effective learner, both in terms of academics and in appropriate social and emotional functioning. My overarching goal is to help these boys successfully transition to manhood. What I have observed in emerging young men over the years leads me to share my personal perspective on a phenomenon that causes me great concern: too many young men are not being successfully "launched."

When a Grandparent Is Ill: 8 Little Steps to Make it Easier on the Kids (and You)
You may realize it gradually or find out through a dreaded call in the middle of the night. Your mother or father is ill, no longer the healthy family member you and your children are accustomed to. With all the emotions you may experience and details you might need to attend to, you also have to consider how to help your child cope with the fact that Grandpa or Grandma is sick. Here are some things to keep in mind to help your child get accustomed to this unwelcome bit of news. Continue reading

You have heard all about our "angels of mercy" dash to Sydney to collect Mark and Rachael when they were ill, but you didn't hear about our little stowaway! Yes - you guessed it! The photo above looks suspiciously like a small furry teddy bear - Ernie Dingle couldn't help himself! When he heard that we were off on a trip, he hid behind the suitcases and we didn't discover his presence until we reached Gundagai! He loves travelling, especially to Sydney!
On our way home, he was very excited when we stopped at Holbrook because there is a submarine in the park! H.M.A.S. Otway is a "must see" if you are passing through. It's huge!
And you can climb up onto it. Can you see Ernie?
Another "great excitement" in the life of a small, furry friend!

Departing Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr wouldn't leave the house without a push-up bra and is going to miss wearing the lingerie brand's million-dollar bra.
Miranda Kerr always wears push-up bras.
The former Victoria's Secret Angel - who recently announced she was leaving the lingerie brand to focus on a ''new phase'' in her life - is a big fan of the cleavage-enhancing underwear because it makes her feel more womanly.
Quizzed about her signature lingerie look, Miranda revealed: ''A push-up bra because it gives you extra shape and adds to that hourglass figure.''
Although the 29-year-old star will reportedly still walk in Victoria's Secret's televised show in November, she admitted she will miss parading down the catwalk wearing their iconic $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure diamond-encrusted bra.
Asked what her favourite look was, Miranda was quick to reply: ''The million-dollar bra''.
The brunette - who has two-year-old son Flynn with her husband Orlando Bloom - is a fitness fanatic and follows a regular exercise regime which focuses on keeping her rear as pert as possible.
She added in an interview with ES magazine: ''I'm pretty consistent. I combine Pilates and yoga with resistance training three or four times a week.
''Before a show I focus a little more on my butt, spending a lot of time doing extra squats to ensure it's as pert as possible.''

Inflation Report Leaves Unanswered Questions
WASHINGTON -- The next few months will give a more definitive answer about whether the latest jump in wholesale prices was a fluke or a turning point.
Friday's Labor Department report of a 0.5% rise in the September producer price index, following ominous words from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan earlier in the week, gives new prominence to the prospects of renewed inflation or higher interest rates.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan compared the cancellation of several rallies in Germany before a referendum in his nation to Nazi practices. "Your practices are not different from the Nazi practices of the past," Erdogan said Sunday in Istanbul at a campaign for the referendum. "I thought it's been a long time since Germany left [Nazi practices]. We are mistaken."
One day earlier, Erdogan accused Germany of "aiding and harboring terror" for allowing outlawed Kurdish leaders to conduct regular public meetings in the country.
On Thursday, Turkey summoned Germany's ambassador to Turkey, Martin Erdmann, to the foreign ministry in Ankara to protest Gaggenau's cancellation of a talk by Bekir Bozdag, Turkey's justice minister.
Gaggenau authorities said there was insufficient space for the rally.
Authorities in Cologne canceled a rally where Nihat Zeybekci, Turkey's economy minister, was scheduled to speak.
Also, a rally in Frechen was called off.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government wasn't involved in canceling the rallies, saying the decisions were "taken by municipalities, and as a matter of principle, we apply freedom of expression in Germany."
In Austria, the chancellor has called for a European Union-wide ban on political campaigning by Turkish politicians.
"A collective EU response to prevent such campaign events would make sense so that individual countries like Germany where appearances are forbidden don't end up being pressured by Turkey," Christian Kern told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
He also said Turkey's attempts to join the EU should be abandoned because the country has been "trampling on human rights and basic democratic rights."
Erdogan has cracked down on his opponents since a failed military coup last year.

text: I know that a few of you have wondered where I've been. I just found out that I'm pregnant with our first child and I'm finishing up school. I just had to deal with working in an elections office and finishing up school projects for my marketing classes. Hectic, I tell you. Now. On to our Octopus! I will be sending you guys pictures within the next couple of days. We just got a new camera. Looks great and works well with octopus! I'm certain that we got a Bimac beauty. I'm currently thinking of getting him some more rock for Christmas. He loves live rock. He'll climb all over the stuff and do a humorous "hugging" motion and rock back and forth. He's been eating healthy and he seems to be growing everyday. We feed him shrimp every other day now and 2 live crabs the following day. He's quite spoiled and he knows it. He flashes colors at me and my fiance' when we go by his tank. Although, sometimes, he turns completely black around me! Am I that offensive? I hope not! I move slowly, so I don't know what I do to make him do that lol. I'm starting to feed him by hand so that he gets used to me. My fiance' has been feeding him by hand, so he knows Louis pretty well. You can actually see his eyes turn in Lou's direction when he walks in the room. He'll move his tentacles around in a welcoming motion. Well, I gotta go turn some assignments in. Good luck with all of your projects! The tank has been updated and it now has a dimmer light attached to the front. (Fiance's idea.) The octopus really enjoys the different light changes. He's more active in the daylight. Has anyone experienced this before? He actually has a sleep pattern like a human. Active in the day and asleep at night. We've named him Master Chief from Halo. So please put his name in the archive! He would love it! -Apey-

I'm into month two with my Pebble Classic and in that time I've gone through almost every app and watch face in the Pebble App store. That has enabled me to gain a lot of insight into how I use my Pebble and the surprise ending is that although notifications are a big part of its usefulness, I use it for much more than that.
I decided to write this post after reading David Breger's post on LinkedIn about why he does not wear his Pebble any more. I tried to comment on the post but the Submit button would not enable for me, so I ended up thinking about his post and about how my experience with the Pebble so deeply differed from his. I finally came to realize that David's post solely focuses around notifications and he has completely missed, or at least did not talk about, the rest of the Pebble ecosystem. So I aim to fix that.

d. Examine the interaction of China and Japan with westerners; include the Opium War, the Taiping Rebellion, and Commodore Perry.
The culture at this time viewed outsiders as inferior barbarians…
Around 1514, the Portuguese reached China
Eventually set up trade
Chinese let them set up a trading station in Macao
They used their knowledge of astronomy to get into the emperor's inner circle
Emperor was in charge of predictions of eclipses and timing of the seasons
Helped revise the Chinese calendar
The emperor began appointing Jesuit missionaries to official positions
The Jesuits gradually gained power… economic and political, as well as spiritual.
Their power aroused jealousy and concern among some leaders
Qing rulers began to turn on the Jesuits
Emperors realized that the Chinese Catholics were expected to promise faith and allegiance to the pope.
It was feared this would undermine the peoples loyalty to the throne and bring about rebellion and overthrow.
Christianity was denounced as anti-Confucion
The number of converts dwindled
China also deported European missionaries to Macao
During the late 1600s the British established a trading post at Guangzhou
The came to buy silk and tea.
Tea was brought to China by the Dutch
Great Britain was a land of tea drinkers and regarded Chinese tea as the best in the world
The British East India Company monopolized the new trade in Chinese tea
The British agreed to the Chinese restrictions
They could only dock at Guangzhou, live in special quarters outside the city wall, and only deal with officially approved Chinese merchants
Free trade developed in the West as a reaction to mercantilism
Supporters of free trade argued that the government should not restrict or interfere with international trade
Others resented the British East India Company's monopoly on tea trade
The British government became involved in the trade matters because it wanted new overseas markets to sell their goods.
The Chinese did not allow more ports
In 1833, the British East India Company's monopoly on trade with China was abolished
The company basically failed
Britain traded cotton from India for tea
There was a limited demand for the cotton China needed.
Britain wanted more and more tea.
Britain needed a new product to trade
It was opium
Opium - a narcotic substance, poisonous in large doses. It causes dullness or inaction or that soothes the mind or emotions.
Opium addiction in China was on the rise.
When the Chinese tried to forcibly stop the opium trade, war broke out.
China was no match for the British fleet which included iron-hulled steam ships.
In 1842, the British took control of the region near Nanjing.
The Chinese were ready to negotiate.
China had to give Hong Kong to the British
The Chinese also had to open 5 ports for British trade.
British goods had fixed, low tariffs.
Ports were governed by the British and court cases would be tried in British courts
Extraterritoriality – the requirement that foreigners must follow the laws of their home country instead of the laws of the country in which they live.
Other countries wanted treaties with China to have new markets for their goods.
China had signed the earlier treaties under the pressure of defeat and fear of invasion.
These are called "unequal" treaties.
Terrible destructions to southern China and the Yangtze valley
Millions were killed
Cities and farmland destroyed
Muslims in central and western China launched their own rebellions
The Qing finally put down these rebellions in the late 1870s
Weakened the Qing dynasty and the nation
Foreign powers took advantage and demanded more concessions and ports
Foreign interference in China's political and economic affairs
Weakened China's power to rule it's government and undermined the emperor's prestige
Reduced the country's control of its own economy
Tokugawa Shoguns
Matthew Perry
The man who unlocked unlocked Japan
Part of Japan's isolation plan was not to harbor ships from other nations during storms
It angered Westerners
Western nations wanted to open trade with Japan like China.
In a show of force and dignity, he ceremoniously presented the letter from the president
He would return a year later for their answer
In 1853 President Millard Fillmore sent Perry and a powerful naval force to Japan
He was sent to negotiate a treaty to guarantee the safety of U.S. sailors and open ports for U.S. trade
After debate and controversy, the shogun reluctantly agreed to negotiate with Perry when he returned
Life in Tokugawa Japan was peaceful but heavily controlled by the shogunal government.
After a century of chaotic warfare, the Tokugawa Peace was much-needed.
All people were confined to their traditional roles (class structure)
Japanese Christians were first banned from practicing their religion in 1614 by Tokugawa Hidetada.
All citizens are required to register with their local Buddhist temple.
Any who refused were considered disloyal.
Christian peasants revolted but was stamped out by the shogunate.
Afterward, Japanese Christians were exiled, executed or driven underground, and Christianity faded from the country.
Despite some heavy-handed tactics, the Tokugawa shoguns presided over a long period of peace and relative prosperity in Japan.

soon be on it's way. Which in and of itself signals that summer is
over. Anytime you are reminded that something is about to end, you
are then living under the burden of that realization, consciously or
not. Making plans to get them in while there is still time. Or
critiquing your lack of efficiency of time use, before your epiphany.
Wow, can I use some more big words in there? I must acquiesce that
that is feasible.
Anyway, here's to the end of summer, the last run-up to autumnal
rituals that in themselves bring us to winter - a rounding up of goods
and foodstuffs, a battening down before the weather and our self-
imposed winter quarantines. I swear it was only a few weeks ago when
I could inhale that first summer shower, the kind that blends in with
the pavement and reminds you of a time when you didn't know or care
enough to come in out of the rain. A viciously vivid scent that makes
you stop mid-stride and take note. An old friend in your cerebral
cortex that never ages, and pops up by your kitchen window to say
"hullo! remember me? can you come out to play?", only to be rebuffed
by the mounting responsibilities of adulthood with an off-hand "maybe
later". The greater the distance, the greater the ease of that casual
dismissal until the words are no longer meant or felt.
For myself, I desire to play the role of grasshopper against the noble
ant. A necessary, vicarious martyr not to be followed but to be
watched and lighten the humors of those surrounding. Whether that
desire feeds into action...doubtful. But hopeful. For there is
always hope. Especially where there are sundresses.
Thanks Angela!

Its like anything else, they want you to try the other things before they'll pay for it. Its very expensive and they'd prefer not to pay for it if they don't have to. Have you tried either prednisone or things like methotrexate or cyclosporins? If you go to janssenprescriptionassistance.com you may be able to get it paid for by the manufacturer.
Thanks this has put me one step closer to treatment

Don't Be An Internet Dupe – How To Know If Stuff You See Online Is True Or An Urban Legend
I can't count the number of times in any given day that someone posts an urban legend online, all in a panic over kids being stabbed by drug-filled hypodermic needles in McDonald's ball pits, rapists using children to lure their victims, that the surfaces of cut onions are more likely to cause food poisoning than warm mayonnaise, or some similar nonsense. The people who post these things are well-meaning, of course. They just want to warn their friends and family about dangers to avoid.
Then there are the folks who share "life hacks" they've found online, some of which are real winners…and some of which are just colossal wastes of time.
So before you click that "Share" button, or forward this kind of email on to your contacts, check out these simple ways to find out if you're about to spread an urban legend or useless piece of advice.
Sites That Debunk Urban Legends
You can go to any of the following sites and simply do a search on the item in question:
Snopes – THE go-to site for exposing urban legends
The Straight Dope – an excellent resource for getting to the bottom of "common knowledge" and "conventional wisdom" -type claims
The Purportal – especially great for sussing out spammy / scammy emails
The Skeptics Dictionary – here's the place to find actual facts and scientific research to throw back at the person who claims the Moon landing was a hoax or that the Chupacabra is real.
Mental Floss Tests Life Hacks
Life hacks are those things people like to post online to supposedly provide simple, low- or no-cost solutions to everyday problems and needs. For example, one life hack says you can easily get all those annoying, unpopped kernels out of a bag of microwave popcorn by cutting a small corner off the popped bag and turning it upside down to shake the kernels out into the trash. Sounds like it would work, right? Only it doesn't. I know because I was able to watch someone actually attempt it on YouTube.
Those clever folks at Mental Floss are regularly testing out life hacks like that one, and they're posting videos of their tests on YouTube!
Note that while these videos may have the word "debunked" in them, that doesn't mean all of the tested life hacks turn out to be worthless. The best parts of these videos are when the host predicts a given hack won't work, and it does!
Also see this very interesting Mental Floss video, which debunks 50 things most of us believe without question even though they're totally untrue: 50 Common Misconceptions. For example, do birds really explode from eating rice thrown at weddings? The answers in this video will surprise you!
So don't be part of the problem when it comes to the spread of misinformation: get your facts straight first, then share, forward and 'Like' with confidence!

Services: Expert Cleaning- Having a clean rug will extend the life expectancy of your hand made rug.
The steps of the cleaning process:
Step One: The most important step is that of removing years of accumulated dust imbedded in the rug.
Step Two: After testing for color run, the next step is to soak the rug in a shallow pool.
Step Three: Once completely soaked, the rug is ready to be hand washed. We use natural soaps and gentle brushing of the front and back of the rug.
Step Four: All remaining dirt and residue is thoroughly removed with high water pressure. If any dirt or residue remains, it can deteriorate the wool, and shorten the lifespan of the rug.
Step Five: The rug goes through a heavy-duty machine wash which uses high pressure water and squeezing at the same time, to remove as much water as possible. Then the rug is hung in the heating room to dry.
The Final Step: At this time the rug is assessed for any spots requiring special care, or repairs to the fringe. The following services are available as needed at this point:
• Binding
• Over-casting
• Fringing (oriental, pre-made)
• Major restoration
• Moth proofing
• Deodorizing
• Pet deodorizing
• Water damage
• Mildew and mold repair
• Padding
• Appraisal
• Sizing
For over 2500 years hand-made rugs have been used in the east by nomads, villagers, for comfort, warmth, and beauty. An Oriental Rug is a purchase for a lifetime and will last for generations when properly maintained. It gains in dignity and becomes more beautiful with the years.
Oriental rugs are generally made of wool and easily and economically maintainable. Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently out-perform other materials. Unlike other fibers, wool is much more resilient, cleans better, and stays clean longer.
A professional Oriental rug cleaning will enhance your carpets, bringing out the richness of color and softness of the wool. Depending on the amount of traffic, a professional washing is recommended every three to five years for the cleaning of your Oriental rug.
To ensure even wear, your rug should be rotated now & then. Depending on the traffic, the rotation may vary from six months to two years.
A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear and slippage. We will be happy to provide you with the correct padding.
In case of damage, just about any problem has a solution with a professional restoration. Old and antique rugs sometimes need to be rewoven where worn and restored to life. Newer rugs are rarely in need of repair. An experienced professional must always be consulted in these matters.
When spills occur, dilute with plenty of water. Next, blot from the edge of the spill towards the center. Avoid rubbing the area. For solid spills, take a spoon and carefully scoop up the material. It is always best to attack the spill immediately. The following information and chart will help you eliminate most stains. For further advice, contact us. We will be glad to help.
Always rub or brush lightly from the outer edge toward the center of stain to prevent spreading or causing "the ring" when using solvents, especially on twist rugs and pile carpets. On old, dry or stubborn stains, saturate, blot and brush. Repeat this operation as often as necessary to remove the stain completely.
You must move quickly, so please keep a small container with the following items close by:
- Clean Cloths
- A Clothes Brush
- Mild Detergent ( no bleaches or alkalies)
- White Vinegar
- Dry Cleaning Fluid
- Weak Ammonia (7% solution)
- Sponges
- Alcohol
- Glycerin
- Work quickly.
- Blot up excess spills with paper towels. Do not rub.
- Apply antidote(s) as shown on list with a clean cloth, working from edge to center.
- Do not soak.
- Pat with paper towels. Dry with fan or hair blower.
- Restore pile with clothes brush.
Put a blotter or blown paper bag over the spot. Put hot iron over the blotter. Wait a few minutes until the wax is absorbed into the blotter. Repeat if necessary. Move the iron constantly and do not let it stay in one place.
Saturate the spot with hairspray. Allow it to dry. Brush lightly with a solution of water and vinegar.
Saturate the spot with a cloth soaked in vinegar or alcohol.
Press ice cubes against spot. Wait until it becomes brittle and breaks off. Use spot remover to vremove last traces of the spot.

Jobless Recovery Does Not Discriminate
October 14, 2002
Economic recoveries generally tend to put some groups of workers on payrolls earlier than others. But the current recovery -- which has so far produced very few if any new jobs -- has spread the pain throughout many groups.
- Partly because the collapse of the technology bubble of the late 1990s has hurt white-collar workers even more than their blue-collar counterparts, the unemployment rate for college graduates has risen as much since early last year as it has for high school dropouts.
- Joblessness among whites has increased by about the same amount, in proportional terms, as it has among blacks and Hispanics.
- The lack of a recovery in technology spending continues to bring job cuts in that sector.
- The number of people on payrolls fell in September for the first time in five months, help-wanted advertising has dropped significantly, and the number of unemployment-insurance claims, while volatile, has generally risen.
If the economy follows roughly the same recovery schedule it did a decade ago, companies will begin adding more than 100,000 jobs a month by early next year, experts predict.
However, the jumpstart in hiring that the manufacturing sector once provided at the beginning of a recovery is no longer there, thanks to the relative decline in the strength of that sector. Now, because of the new technology, companies have been able to increase productivity without hiring new workers.
Long-term, the labor market is expected to tighten over the decade, as the advance guard of baby-boomers begins retiring and fewer young adults replace them in the labor force.

My main camera body right now is the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
It's an extraordinary camera. Sure, there have been complaints about its autofocus system, but I do have something to say about that. The 5D Mark II is quite outdated, in the sense that its overdue for a replacement. So naturally, the 5D Mark II's autofocus system isn't as sophisticated or as technologically advanced as a newer camera (such as the 7D). Also, the 5D Mark II only has 1 cross-point autofocus point. Only one of the 9 AF assist points are more sensitive. This is how I typically get around the older autofocus system of the 5D Mark II. I tend to primarily use the center autofocus point to autofocus, and then I'll recompose the image afterwards. By using this method, I've found that even in sports such as basketball, it is more than adequate if you know what you're doing. Now, enough about the autofocus.
The 5D Mark II is a full frame camera. This is one of the biggest deciding factors as to why I got this camera (next to price, the other Canon full frame camera is the 1Ds Mark III and that will set you back a good $7,000). A full frame camera gives you the advantage of having the correct focal length, no need to factor in a multiplier. If I were to use a crop-sensor camera or APS-C, such as the Canon EOS 7D with a 14mm 2.8L lens and the 1.6 multiplier,the effective focal length would be around 22mm. However, if I were to use the lens with my 5D Mark II, the focal length would just be 14mm. This allows my wide angle lenses to be wide angle lenses, and my super wide angles to be super wide angles.
A full frame camera also allows lower noise levels. When you look at a picture taken at a high ISO or sensitivity (such as night), you would often see a lot of grain. Full frame cameras allow you to use higher ISO's with lower noise levels; cleaner and more appealing pictures. There are tons of pictures that I couldn't have even taken without the use of a full frame camera.
The 5D Mark II also allows me to have a shallower depth of field (DOF). The explanation for this is pretty complicated, having to do with the circle of confusion, so I won't go into this. Google it if you're interested. A shallower DOF is when you have a picture of something that's in focus and sharp and everything else that's in the picture is out of focus (OOF). Again, google it if my explanation are confusing.
The 5D Mark II also has a high megapixel count (21MP!!!). That is more than I need to be honest. A higher megapixel count just allows me to print bigger without loss of quality. It also allows me some breathing room in cropping.
Oh, and the 5D Mark II is also considered a HDSLR, a DSLR with HD video recording. This was revolutionary when the camera was first introduced back in 2008. The 5D Mark II is still praised by many people because of all my aforementioned reasons as well as the video recording feature. The video recording feature is considered so amazing because this allowed film makers to have a makeshift shoot without the use of setting up tons of video lights. This is also a less expensive alternative to all the professional video cameras out there. There are other reasons, sure. I haven't used this feature extensively to be honest. At least not on a professional level. I've only taken short clips when going out to the amusement park or zoo for fun.
I'm sure if you look around, you'll find tons of great reviews for this camera.
Oh, I should mention. There was an entire episode of the TV Show, House M.D. that was filmed entirely with this camera. SNL actually created their opening title sequence with this camera. Also, the music video for "Like a G6" was filmed by a 5D Mark II! 😀


text: I am going an a first date this weekend. Basically a blind date. Looking for a good place to take a young lady. I live in Chelsea, she lives in Murray hill, so somewhere downtown-ish, East or West village included. I like almost any kind of food, but I am not really sure what her likes/dislikes are. Basically, I am looking for a place where we can get some nice drinks/wine and some good food. Doesn't need to be super fancy, but would like it to be a place that would impress a girl in her mid 20's. Also a place where we can hear each other talk without having to shout. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

President's Message
2015-2017 MALSCE President
It's a building boom in the Great City of Boston and in several other key locations across the Commonwealth. In the middle of this boom is the Massachusetts Port Authority with its runways at Boston Logan International Airport, Hanscom Field, and Worcester Regional Airport; developments around the Boston Harbor in South Boston, East Boston, and Charlestown; as well as significant port changes at both the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal and Conley Container Terminal, to name a few. Importantly, supporting all of this progress throughout these diverse facilities is the land surveying industry and Massport's own survey team, along with many MALSCE members providing precise land area information forming the basis for engineering and architectural design services.
We spoke with Dan MacIsaac, PLS, new Survey Unit Manager (since July) with Massport's Capital Programs Department. Dan indicated that there is no one survey method of choice at Massport that delivers the accuracy to keep up with all of this growth. "Just like the city skyline is changing there are many new technologies promoting how we survey today. Keeping pace with these new technologies is important to serving Massport. One of the most challenging aspects of my position is deciding what projects to undertake internally with our survey team versus contracting projects to outside consultants. Project timing is often a big driver and when there are projects queuing for construction, the team is in high demand, and the varied skills needed are deep. For example, with respect to the runways, we're looking for very detailed existing conditions, plans with topographic and utility information, primarily performed using Leica instruments. When construction kicks off, we're out verifying quantities, checking the excavation then inspecting final pavement grades. We use levels to verify how close the contractor got to the finish grade. Drones are 'persona non grata' at the airport and, if under some type of special circumstance, they might be used, drones are still not generating the product we need right now.
While the standard survey deliverable for Massport projects is typically an existing conditions plan showing topography, boundary lines, and other property rights, there is also the need for hydrographic survey of the sea beds to support such seaport projects as harbor dredging enabling larger Panamax ships to reach Boston's port. We also work regularly on licenses, leases, easements and other types of surveying.
The various types of Massport projects benefit from a combination of standard total stations to newer technology such as laser scanners. In fact, some technology is no longer a luxury; it is a requirement to get jobs done on time and within budget. If there is one message to the survey community, it is to stay up with the hardware and software technology, Lidar and BIM today, who knows what's next. Who would have thought 20 years ago that we would be building computer models to the level possible today?"

User review on Mahindra Scorpio written by Sachin on 30 May 2015
Sachin's review on Mahindra Scorpio LX BS3
Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 2100
- Pros: Refreshed exterior and interior design.
- Cons: Hard to handle in heavy traffic
I fully agree with Mr. Suresh when he says that this is one of the best-looking SUV on the road. The 2015 facelift of the Scorpio model is not only stylish, but also retain its menacing look. Its powerful engine can easily leave behind other competitors in a puff of dust. The interior of this SUV is completely redesigned and now comes with a much-improved looks and few more additional features. I find the safety features of this SUV top of the line that allow me to travel in this vehicle without any tension.

text: Hello, here are some films that I love but haven't purchased because I believe that the studio that released them should have put at least some effort (in the meantime I'll stick to my VHS copies), and would like to know what other films you think should be re-issued as SE's. Hopefully the studios will be looking at these boards and see the interest. By Special Edition, I mean at least some features, in relation to the importance of the film, I wouldn't expect an "Alien Quadrilogy"-type release for "Motel Hell," (more something along the lines of "Last House on the Left SE" or Howling SE), but I would for a film like Superman 2. Anyway, here goes: 1. SUPERMAN 2 - RICHARD DONNER DIRECTOR'S CUT SE For me, the Holy Grail of films in need to be restored and taken out as Special Editions. The only DVD release was barebones, which is inexplicable given a film of this importance and turmoiled history. Donner shot about 70% of the film along with "Superman The Movie" (most of it except the battle over Metropolis), before stopping to concentrate on the first film's release. The Salkinds had Lester reshoot a lot of it, which had him get Director's credit. But Donner's footage's still there, along with all the Marlon Brando stuff that brings full circle his relationship with his son, begun in the first film, also Superman destroying the Fortress of Solitude a the end, Louis pretending to shoot Clark in order to have him show his true identity, and a lot of other stuff. With that in, Donner could get Director's credit for this version. The moment is perfect, with "Superman Returns" coming next year, and Bryan Singer sprinboarding it from "Richard Donner's Superman" and set after Superman 2. Imagine the media coverage! An in-depth documentary about the making of "Superman 2", another awesome audio commentary with Donner and Mank, etc. Maybe issue another Super-Duper Special Collector's Edition with both "Superman The Movie" (maybe this time including the Theatrical Cut and original mono soundtrack) and "Superman 2", call it THE SUPERMAN SAGA and... ok I'll stop there. 2. DARKMAN The movie is great fun, it has a cult following, Sam Raimi does some of the best audio commentaries, this was his first studio film and could make for a great documentary. The only DVD release was barebones and one of the first titles out, must be lots of space for improvement in transfer and sound,. 3. THEY LIVE The last GREAT John Carpenter film, imho. Carpenter audio commentary, making of, trailers, cast commentary. Come on, this movie kicks a$$! If the studio is not hip enough, give it to Anchor Bay (they did a great 2-Disc SE of Supergirl, for Chrissakes!). 4. MOTEL HELL Awesome movie, great fun, very witty, deserves a hell of a lot more than being in a 2-pack with some piece of crap, Cinemax-filler flick. Deserves an SE to equal the one for "Return of the Living Dead" and "Last House on the Left," something modest but thorough. 5. INNERSPACE One of Joe Dante's best, funny, moving, witty, wacky, sweet, great script, great FX, great actors with much chemistry (Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, Martin Short), must-see film, GROSSLY underrated, Dante is also great in commentaries, also needs a making-of, an FX featurette. PLEASE! 6. THE ROCKETEER Another criminally underrated film, great innocent fun. Director commentary, making-of, FX featurette, history of the independent comic on which it was based. 7. THE NEVER-ENDING STORY For some reason , this film was never as succesful here as it was in Europe. Wolfgan Petersen rocks, this film is classy, literate, sweet, has a great message and the entire production is top notch. Whatever you do, don't watch the sequels! That's it for now, please add your entries, or second some of mine see if we can see some consensus. Any studios out there reading this? Alex
