JBLOGGER: Nolan, Christine [MC2016] blogs about Type 1 diabetes2013-Oct-27http://lifeslittlepricks.blogspot.com/2013/10/control.html Saturday, October 26, 2013 Control *** begin quote *** Where is the control? The balance? How do you find it? These are the three questions I ask myself almost everyday. I recently went to the doctor and met with a new diabetes educator. As we scrolled through my meter I was forced to acknowledge all of the high numbers I had had this past week, 300, 423, 295, and more. I could feel her judgement. It was like the walk of shame and all the blame was on me. I'm in college... My meter was out of battery... I fell asleep... I forgot... I was stressed... I'm sorry. I tried every excuse I could think of and it didn't make me feel any better. She stared at me. Shook her head. and kept writing. writing little notes... about me and how disappointing I am. She doesn't get it... any of it. She doesn't have diabetes. She's not in college and she certainly doesn't have diabetes in college. I dare her to walk by the ice cream, cookies, pizza, and french fries everyday in the cafeteria and see how she feels. Everyday it's like a battle. Many times I am able to overcome the temptations but sometimes like any other person would... I give in. I do my best. I try my hardest. I can't do everything perfectly. I was frustrated after leaving the appointment. Disappointed in myself... feeling less than. Until I realized... Who was she to make me feel bad? She had no idea how it felt. No idea what a low felt like.. how your forehead starts to sweat, legs start to shake, body feels heavy. Or that a high blood sugar gives you migraines, chapped lips, dehydration. She couldn't make me feel less... only I could. I looked up. Walked straight to the subway and rode back to school. The entire time I thought about how I could better myself, how I could better my health and then it hit me... I need to take it one day at a time. One meal at a time. One injection at a time. One blood sugar check at a time. And hopefully after a while everything will fall into place and I will have the control I need to get through the next day, and the next day, and the day after that. It is a never-ending battle but I wont stop fighting... I can't. *** end quote *** Posted by Christine Marie Nolan at 6:21 PM # - # - # - # - # Nolan, Christine [MC2016] Christine Marie Nolan On January 4th, 2009 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It was a rather dramatic diagnosis that included a 30 pound weight loss, helicopter ride to shock trauma, and a week long stay in pediatric intensive care. I was only 14 years old when I faced death head on and somehow was given another chance at life. Its been 4 years since and I have grown-up so much... I had to. During the first two years of my diagnosis I ran 5 half marathons and during the spring of 2012, at the age of 17 I climbed to the Mount Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Many people believe that people with Diabetes can't do certain things but I refuse to accept these limitations. God gave me another chance at life and I plan to live it to the fullest. What I'm Currently Up To... I am currently studying Advertising and Marketing at Manhattan College in New York City. I love the city and am enjoying making new friends and memories. It’s an exciting time in my life filled with life lessons, inspiring ideas and many changes as well. I look forward to sharing more! I will also begin writing my book about life with type 1 diabetes and overcoming your challenges and accomplishing your goals. # - # - # - # - # [JR: I can empathize, but not know exactly what she means. Frau Reinke passed away having dealt with Type 1 diabetes for the better part of 35 years. All I can say is be realistic. Her time, we knew, would be limited. So, she lived. I wrote my third book about her: “Hard elbows; warm heart”. I see from the earlier story from Alma Mater that you have that zest to use time wisely. And, don’t let the “experts” get you down. Frau Reinke used to say: “They may know a lot, but I’m living it.” Big difference. "Bon courage a vous tous" ] # - # - # - # - # 2013-Oct-27 @ 11:57 |

We agreed to get together socially and attend the LaSalle - Manhattan basketball game in Philadelphiaon November 9th followed by drinks and dinner. Currently I am a retired insurance officer so it was good to meet a Jasper who lives within a mile of my home.

She has proudly been clean ever since. Although that was a tough road for her, it was not the only struggle Nicole was facing. She is currently a recovering bulimic, and has struggled with this disease since 2006. In April, 2013, she decided to diligently put a hundred percent into beating this disease. Nicole was having a very difficult time digesting food, so she started searching for ways to make this transition easier on her body. While doing research on a BULIMIC SUPPORT GROUP website, she came across a post that had mentioned ‘food combining’. This particular diet focuses on one ingesting one food group at a time, so your stomach can digest the food more easily. Nicole immediately started to do research on this theory, and it has empowered her to learn about healthiness. Although she still struggles everyday, she somehow finds the strength from within, and from those around her, to keep her pushing forward! # - # - # - # - # DeGroat, Nicole [MC????] # - # - # - # - # Dear John, I believe that Nicole is a member of the Class of 2005.

To celebrate this historic occasion, Saint Barnabas Elementary School is hosting a 100th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, November 16th Avenue from 7pm to 1am at Maestro’s Caterers, 1703 Bronxdale, in the Van Nest section of the Bronx. During the evening, three individuals associated with the school will be honored. Sr. Eileen Fagan, SC, a former 8th Professor of Religious Studies and Department Chair at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. Mrs. Marian Macias has taught at Saint Barnabas for 40 years as a Math and English teacher on the Junior High level. Mr. Michael McEneney, a graduate from the class of 1945, is a retired attorney and a life-long St. Barnabas parishioner and benefactor. Msgr. Michael A. Reilly, the founding Pastor of Saint Barnabas, invited the Sisters of Charity to establish a school so that children in the Woodlawn and McLean Heights areas could be properly catechized in the faith. In the beginning of February of 1913, four Sisters of Charity arrived and began registering students. On the first day of school, seventy-six students were enrolled. They were divided into three grades and classes were taught in the basement, today known as the Lower Church. On May 16, 1915, the cornerstone was laid for a permanent structure. On April 13, 1916, John Cardinal Farley, the archbishop of New York, dedicated the new school building. The school serves 300 students from grades PreK-3 to 8 and enjoys a close partnership with St. Barnabas High School. The pastor, Msgr. Edward Barry, remarked, “St. Barnabas parishioners can be proud of their Elementary School. It does a great job of educating their children about the faith.” Mr. Greg Viceroy, the principal of Saint Barnabas, commented, “All of the faculty and staff here at Saint Barnabas are dedicated to educating the whole child and we are committed to seeing every boy and girl develop and grow into an educated follower of Christ.” Additionally, an Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, November 17th Saint Barnabas High School Chapel. Msgr. Barry will be the main celebrant and Father Martin Biglin, a former Parochial Vicar at St. Barnabas and currently the Pastor of Holy Name of Jesus Church in New Rochelle, will preach the homily. All graduates and former faculty members are invited to attend. Tickets for the Gala are $100 per person. A table of twelve costs $1,200.

MNEWS: Propulsion and Power Findings from Manhattan College2013-Oct-30http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/2013/10/30/new_propulsion_and_power_findings_from.htm New Propulsion and Power Findings from Manhattan College Described November 5, 2013 By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Defense & Aerospace Week -- *** begin quote *** Investigators publish new report on Propulsion and Power. According to news reporting out of Riverdale, New York, by VerticalNews editors, research stated, "A new method for kinetic model reduction is proposed. This method consists of two steps: skeletal model reduction using the directed relation graph method, followed by tuning of the remaining rate constants using the solution mapping method." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Manhattan College, "The method can generate reduced models without the need for nonelementary reactions or non-Arrhenius rate constants. The method is demonstrated on a hydrogen oxygen model and a methane-air model. The results for models at different levels of reduction are compared with the original full models. Results show that the reduced models that underwent optimization are capable of replicating the temperature profile produced by the full model for constant-pressure stream tube reactions, over a limited range of initial conditions, and can now replicate laminar flame speeds at the condition specified by the current optimization. However, perfectly stirred reactor temperatures cannot be accurately predicted." *** end quote *** [JR: FWIW ] # - # - # - # - # 2013-Oct-30 @ 22:19 |

Frank was born April 1, 1930, to Anna (Hannon) and Thomas Francis Fleming in North Tarrytown, N.Y. He graduated from Sleepy Hollow High School and received a bachelor’s degree in business from Manhattan College in 1952. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He retired from a career in publishing as the marketing director for the Catholic Hospital Association in St. Louis, Mo. Though Frank accomplished much in his life, nothing gave him greater joy than his family. With Margaret and the boys, he organized vacations and trips pursuing his love of history, culture and the outdoors. Despite his illness, he coached many of his son’s athletic teams and instilled in them his innate sense of hardwork and fair play. His wit, knowledge and storytelling capabilities were surpassed only by his genuine interest and compassion for others. He was at ease in his role as a devoted husband, caring father and loyal friend. He leaves this world a finer place having shared these gifts with those he loved. Frank is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Margaret “Peggy”; his six sons and their families, Frank and his wife, Carolin, Paul and his wife, Mary, Thomas and his wife, Julie, John and his wife, Gemma, David and his wife, Gina, Peter and his wife, Kristin; 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He lived a faith-based life as a devout Catholic and was an active member of St. Mary’s Church in Indian Lake. He was a member of Parker Benton American Legion Post No. 1392 and prized his “Bleeding Heart” Citation, awarded by the Indian Lake Bottle and Can Brigade. A funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013 at St. Mary’s in Indian Lake. There will be visitation from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, at Miller Funeral Home, 6357 state Route 30, Indian Lake, where members of Parker Benton American Legion Post No. 1392 will conduct services at 7:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be directed to the Rosary Hill Home, 600 Linda Ave., Hawthorne, NY 10532; or to Indian Lake Ambulance Corps, P.O.

Loads of people from humble backgrounds who made it big. What can you tell me about this school? Is the campus safe? # - # - # - # - # [JR: Pardon the intrusions, I’m one of those “humble background” folks who (imho) “made it big”. Alma Mater has focus on, for generations, creating the first generation of college graduates in families. It markets its education to potential students and their families with a focus on “Dreams Delivered”. Unlike the “education factories”, characterized by large classes taught by teaching assistants, Alma Mater has modern classrooms retrofitted in historic buildings. That translates to small classrooms. Taught by men and women with impressive credentials. They also get post-career non-educator with advanced degrees to either teach or guest lecturer. (My cousin Class of ’64 is typical; he teaches in the Engineering School as a adjunct with a PhD and CCIE license #25. Won’t get that at a bigger school.) I’ve been involved with the School’s IT team starting about 20 years ago. The network and computing facilities are state of the art. Considering the “small school budget”, the Presidents have always force smart efficient effective use of technology money. It’s all about keeping costs as low as reasonable. By the same token, it’s all about quality output. US News and World Report ranked Alma Mater as #13 nationally in ROI. Personally, I’ve been a featured speaker in the Entrepreneurial club; having had three of my own businesses. Now I’m prejudiced. But the alumni are the hidden gem of the school. I run an “underground” alumni news letter that daily captures the events of my fellow alums. It’s indeed impressive what they achieve. And, I’ve put many students and recent grads in touch with famous and not-so-famous alums in their fields to get help. Never heard a bad story. If you’re looking for a “bargain”, Alma Mater is a hidden jewel. But, I’m biased. I know I’d never have what I do without its special ministry. ] # - # - # - # - # 2013-Nov-02 @ 09:30 |

ENDNOTE: Obamacare is force2013-Nov-02http://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/10/mark-r-crovelli/i-have-a-very-dangerous-job/ Obamacare is Eliminating My Health Insurance By Mark R. Crovelli October 26, 2013 *** begin quote *** As the owner of a very small construction company that is involved primarily with roofing-related construction work, I am acutely aware of the need to have health insurance. Roofing is one of the most dangerous jobs in America, and I have known many people who have been seriously hurt doing the type of work that I do almost every day. As such, I have always been careful to have an insurance policy that can cover my medical expenses, should some unthinkable accident occur. I am not, however, the type of person who needs an insurance policy with the bells and whistles that other people might want. If I get sick, I prefer to figure it out for myself. If I get cut, I prefer to suture myself. I don’t need prescription drug insurance (because I refuse to take them), and I don’t need cheap copays (because I just don’t go to the doctor). I carry insurance solely to protect myself against catastrophic injury, period. My care in scrupulously protecting my managing my own health used to be rewarded by saving money on health insurance. I was able to save money for my business and myself by paying as little as possible for medical services. The money that I saved by suturing myself went straight into my own pocket. The money that I saved by trying to avoid the doctor’s office went straight into my own pocket. This improved the financial position of both my business and myself. My health insurer, however, has recently notified me that I will no longer have the option to save money on my health insurance. The insurance plan that met my needs perfectly for many years apparently does not provide coverage that is adequate, according to my political overlords. As such, my insurer has no choice but to discontinue providing any plans that meet my strict demands, and so my insurance policy will be terminated on January 1, 2014. I now find myself in the absurd position of losing my health insurance because the professional liars and thieves in D.C. have dictated that everyone have health insurance! Talk about unintended consequences! I had health insurance, but, thanks to constant meddling by the idiots in D.C., I am not only losing the insurance policy that I had, but I am also losing even the possibility of purchasing an insurance policy that suits my needs and my business’s needs. I now have the choice of going without health insurance altogether (and paying a $95 fine to the morons who eliminated my insurance policy in the first place), or I can purchase an insurance policy that will be horrendously more expensive than I can afford, and give me far more coverage than I need or want. *** and *** The real lesson is that government always involves the use of raw, stupid force. Government is stealing money from bartenders and landscapers to fund the killing of Iraqis and Vietnamese. Government is stealing money from accountants in order to fund absolutely terrible public schools. Government is stealing money from roofers in order to put whistleblowers in jail. Government is force, and the particular form of coercion that is being applied to small business owners like me is neither new nor as egregious as many of the other things government does. *** end quote *** It’s always about the use of force. If something is a good idea, then force it not necessary. Government only has one legitimate function; protect citizens from force or fraud. What this note is attempting to point out NOT that Obamacare is a disaster for many reasons — not the least of which is that it now funds abortion — BUT that it’s the typical “one-size-fits-all” Gooferment solution. Backed up by the use of force on its victims. Hopefully, The Sheeple will learn from this “shearing”! Abortion, death panels, lies, political exemptions, and transforming us into a part-time nation. Self-inflicted stupidity. # - # - # - # - # |
