DVD Sambo Wrestling.
Sambo ("self-defense without weapons") - the national Russian struggle.
It is a complex self-defense system developed in the USSR. The official date of birth of Sambo is considered to be November 16, 1938, when this kind of sport was recognized in the USSR. Sambo is one of the young, but quite popular kinds of sports. Due to its technical operations this fight is much like judo. Experts consider this fight a combination of many national wrestling styles in clothing, not only Russia, but also from other nations. This sport has a huge arsenal of techniques of defense and attack, which number about five thousand. Sambo wrestlers are often involved in judo competitions and achieve good results in the international arena. In Russia, often in the same room are trained sambo and judo fighters. This is because the rules of Sambo allowes to attack in lying longer. therefore a lot of training time is devoted to painful holds. Russian Sambo idol is David Rudman, who became famous by virtuoso lying wrestling and mastery in the performance of painful holds. Seminars under his supervision you will find on our site.

Part of my vintage toy collection
circa 1981. the linoleum on the floor
is a map of the United States made in 1943.
The very first piece I painted after a grueling night of writers' block. I had no idea what the piece was as I just started painting and plopping things down on the paper as fast as I could before I had a chance to criticize what I was doing. I looked at it all when I was done and wrote "Dear Henry - I don't know who you are anymore. I feel like I'm invisible between your job and that damn tv. I'm at mother's. Don't bother to call. - Eunice" and pasted it on top of a painting mistake. The next day, Jane Weidlin, one of the Go-Go's, came over to write. She asked me who did the painting because she wanted to buy it. I couldn't part with my first piece but she commissioned something else and became a very loyal collector of my art.

What was the lifestyle of Native Americans before White Settlers came?
- print Print
- list Cite
One interesting aspect of pre-European, Native American life is that most tribes (on the east coast anyway) did not understand the concept of ownership of land or of private property. The Quinnipiac tribe of Connecticut did not realize that the white settlers wanted to exclude them from the land they "purchased" from the tribe. In their culture, natives used land communally. There were reports that when the colonists were gone to church for the day on Sunday, they would sometimes return and find Indians in their homes. They saw that the white people were not using them at the time and felt that it was acceptable to use them while they were gone.
Some other things that Europeans brought to the Native Americans that they did not have before are horses, the wheel and small pox.
This question is a little too broad to be able to answer in a brief space. Mostly, the problem is that there were many different kinds of Indian lifestyles, depending on the place and the time. The coastal Indians in Washington State, for example, had permanent villages, totem poles, etc while the Plains Indians were nomadic and had teepees.
Broadly, though, the only thing you can really say about all pre-contact societies is that they had no European technologies -- no guns, no cloth, no metal, etc. Other than that, different places had very different ways of life.
There was enormous variance to the First American populations on the eve of the arrival of the Europeans. Notably there were great advances in mathematics specifically as it relates to calendric computations by the Maya and in farming in the hybridisation of varieties of crops that could grow in numerous ecosystems. It is recorded that there were 500 varieties of potatoes being cultivated in western South America and cotton was grown all over Mesoamerica and the southwestern United States.
Our culture teaches that the Indians of North and South America were little more than stone age people but history is written by the victors. It would have been interesting to have seen what might have been the change in history if Moctezuma had not so easily succumbed to Cortes. Or if the enormous libraries of codices burned by the priest had been preserved so we could begin the read the full measure of Mesoamerican wisdom.
They lived on a collective piece of land together, without any concept of ownership, and had permanent villages.
They lived in teepees because they were warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They were conical and therefore very stable in high winds. They were easy to move, and that suited their nomadic lifestyle.

What's the big deal swallowing your man's semen?
Ladies, ladies, ladies…
What is the big deal of swallowing your man's semen when you are giving him a blowjob?
I'm sure you try new foods from time to time and different drinks from time to time or new sweets or cookies from time to time. And swallowing your man's cum is just another taste of something.
It comes from your man's body which is not dirty, he has a sexual organ different than a woman's, but even so, his semen is unique to his body. It is one of the ultimate pleasures for a man to know that his woman will do that and appreciate the maleness that he has and the man that he is and all the masculinity that defines him.
Why would you not want to give your man the most…he is always willing and eager to please his woman. He never winces at the thought of eating you, or licking you, or sucking you. It turns him on to do this for you because he knows it pleases you with all those good feelings.
And because he knows it turns you on…it ultimately turns him on knowing that he turns you on. So do not treat him any less by refusing to swallow his cum.
You can start off small, by having him shoot it onto your body and you finger some up and taste it and do not make a face. When you get bolder have him shoot it to the back of your throat so you won't get a full force of tasting him. And when you get bolder, it's not bad to have a bottle of water there close by to wash it down.
Doing this ladies will keep you close to your man's heart because he will know in his mind that you take his ultimate load with no problem and that alone turns him on.

On the Road……"Wintertime" ride to Alpine Lake in Fairfax
Last week-end, I packed a light lunch and took one of my favorite rides out to Alpine Lake in Fairfax.
The sun was bright and strong, but it was still very cool in the shade. So I wore a pair of wool knickers and two cotton t-shirts (one long-sleeve and one short-sleeve), which was perfect.
During the long downhill stretches — through the redwood groves where the cold air tends to chill you to the bone — I put on a light wind jacket. On cold days, I always keep an inexpensive one stuffed in my handlebar bag. Mine is a basic, clear plastic, no thrills jacket that cost less than $20, but is the difference between freezing on long descents or being comfortably warm.
As it turned out, the long-sleeve wool layer (that I forgot at home) wasn't even necessary.
These sunny, Northern California winter days are glorious!

As betches, our knowledge of any third-world issues is limited to that one sociology class we took in college and the pit stop our parents made us take to Cambodian villages on our family vacations to Thailand. In an effort to try and pretend their kids are down to Earth, our parents would often say stupid crap like "there are kids starving in Africa" after we do stuff like take a bite of our $17 Bloomingdale's froyos and then throw them out. But real betches know that the starving kids in Uganda have nothing to do with us, but that doesn't mean we don't have problems of our own. Life is hard for a betch, and not just because Starbucks continually spells our exotic names wrong on our venti-iced coffees.
The following are some first world problems betches often come across. It's time to put an end to these issues, feel free to leave your tales of woe in the comments in case we forgot any important issues facing young women today.
Not having time/patience to let your nails dry at the nail salon, then you ruin them.
You have a meeting or appointment during Monday Soul Cycle signups.
Not knowing how to work your TV because you have so many channels and inputs that only your dad can figure it out.
The possibility of rain on your Caribbean vacation.
Your country club doesn't let you wear jeans and you're not in the mood to change.
Cash-only brunches.
Your housekeeper continuously mixes up your laundry with your sisters'.
Your waiter mixes your salad dressing in instead of on the side.
Uber simply has no cars left and it's raining.
Your old nanny is on Facebook and won't stop 'liking' all your friends albums, even the pictures you're not in.

When Alvin Kesterson was a teenager he had big dreams. The youngster grew up surrounded by lush forests, quiet meadows and the Umpqua River, all contained within his family's ranch. Kesterson wanted to share its beauty with others. So he dreamed of a day when a portion of the 2500 acre Big K Ranch would be set aside as a guest ranch, where cowhands herd cattle while anglers experienced the bounty of the Umpqua. Today, that dream is a reality. "This type of thing has been in my mind for a long time. Elkton needed something like this, " Kesterson said.
A working ranch, Charles Franklin Kesterson established the Big K Ranch over 100 years ago when he bought 400 acres of land along the Umpqua River Loop. Native tribes had fished and hunted on the property for generations before that. The area's first white settlers had camped nearby for a time in the 1800′s, until the population center drifted toward present day Elkton, about 10 miles northwest of the guest ranch. Over the years, the Kestersons acquired small tracts of property from adjoining landowners until the ranch grew to its present size. Cattle and forestry supply the family with most of its income, but Alvin was not sure that ranching would keep up with the property's tax burden. The idea of a guest ranch took serious form in the late 1980′s and the lodge opened for business in 1993. Alvin saw it as a way to give the family the means to ensure holding onto the ranch. "We're not a development company. This is our heart and soul," says Kathie Larsen, guest ranch manager and Alvin's daughter. "It's an exciting venture for us."
Today the Big K Guest Ranch is an outdoorsman's dream. Twenty-five hundred acres of fertile land bursting with game and ten miles of hard-to-get-to water plus a full service lodge and twenty private cabins make the Big K perfect for any type of vacation. We play host to private conferences, family reunions, weekend getaways, and more.
"The Umpqua River drainage is one of the most pristine places in the American West, and why I've been fishing and hunting it for more than 40 years. Recently my family connected with the kind folks at the Big K Guest Ranch, and the memories and friendships we've come away with will never be forgotten.
Be it riding horses through lush, Douglas fir forests, rafting the mighty Umpqua or fishing for salmon, steelhead or smallmouth bass, there's no shortage of exciting experiences to be had. My wife took her first Roosevelt elk with the Big K, and my 10 year old son, a blacktail deer. The new pheasant hunting operation has opened doors to family wingshooting adventures we otherwise would never have experienced; three generations have taken part in this great fun. The turkey hunting in the region is second-to-none.
The guides are first class, offering years of know-how in both fishing and hunting. As for the lodge, the setting will take your breath away, and the kind staff will keep you smiling. There's a reason we've filmed multiple TV shows with the Big K, and why we'll keep coming back!"

RIVERSIDE, Ohio (WDTN) – A recently restored World War II aircraft is now on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
The PT-13 Kaydet trainer plane was moved into its new home in the World War II Gallery Thursday morning.
The plane was under restoration for 15 months. Restoration specialists removed old fabric and cleaned the wooden frame. It then spread a new coat of varnish and new fabric applied to restore the plane to its original look from 1959.
"During every phase of the restoration, we tried to follow original techniques and materials as much as possible," said Restoration Specialist Casey Simmons. "It was so unique working on a fabric-covered aircraft, building the layers of finish until it was smooth and we could start putting color on. It was a very rewarding process."
The PT-13 display will ultimately be part of an expanded Tuskegee Airmen exhibit scheduled to open in February 2015. The aircraft will be used to represent flight training during the war.
The museum is free, so you can get an up-close view of the aircraft now.

On an evening filled with the sights and sounds of a torrential downpour, nearly 100 members of the JASNA NY Metro group convened at The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesman of the City of New York to spend the evening in the company of one of my favorite directors, Whit Stillman. Kerri Spennicchia, the Program Coordinator of our JASNA group, worked closely with Mr. Stillman to bring this evening to fruition, and for numerous Janeites, myself included, this was one of the highlights of 2016!
As someone who has enjoyed Mr. Stillman's films since the early 1990's, it's a tremendous thrill to see that even as I typed this interview, he was tweeting throughout the blogosphere about the reception that his latest film, "Love and Friendship," has been receiving throughout Europe, as moviegoers in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria had the opportunity to view, what I believe, is Mr. Stillman's finest piece of filmmaking to date.
Ms. Spennicchia sat front and center with Mr. Stillman, and interviewed him for approximately 60 minutes, asking him questions based on her own inquiries, as well as the inquiries of our group's members. Mr. Stillman came across as humble, insightful, and extremely knowledgeable about not only Austen's life and work, he also displayed a keen understanding of the subtle nuances cleverly dispersed throughout Austen's novels, which allows him to artfully "translate" Austen for his modern-day audiences.
Mr. Stillman called his book, "Love and Friendship," a Victorian novel with a male narrator, not a Jane Austen novel. "Since Jane had a dim nephew that wrote a defensive novel about her, why not have Lady Susan's nephew write a novel defending her?" asserted Stillman.
He shared with us part of thirteen year journey as he sought to make a film based on Austen's unnamed epistolary novella into a full feature movie over a twenty-six day period that would allow him to flesh out Austen's Lady Susan Vernon character and her supporting cast in a way that would resonate with 21st Century audiences.
"I wanted to be a novelist. I tried, but I didn't have the stamina or dedication to work alone." Whit Stillman
The title of the film, Love & Friendship, which is a departure from the title that scholars adopted for Austen's unnamed juvenile manuscript, Lady Susan, was selected for its international appeal and its greater affability with males viewers. Stillman suggested that Love & Friendship can be thought of as the Oscar Wilde of adaptations, and he believed early on that the role should be played by Kate Beckinsale, who he worked with earlier in his career, during the filming of "The Last Days of Disco."
Translating an epistolary novella into a film had its challenges, but it appeared that Mr. Stillman had a good understanding of these obstacles before the screenplay was even written. In an epistolary story, such as Lady Susan, the characters aren't spending time together in their letters; there's no kissing, there's no touching, and there certainly isn't any sparkling dialogue. Instead, there are loads of character monologues, which now must be written into scenes containing multiple characters. So Stillman had to think long and hard about how to take the best parts of this novella and turn them into a screenplay that would serve Austen's story in a manner befitting of her work.
He also created additional characters for the film that would bring certain aspects of this epistolary story to life. For instance, Lady Susan's companion, Mrs. Cross, who acts mainly as a sycophant, serves to generate some of the dialogue in the story, as well as certain exchanges between the characters. Chloë Sevigny's character, Alicia Johnson, was changed into a Tory exile by Stillman so that her British accent wouldn't be criticized. She is Lady Susan's American friend who finds herself constantly dealing with the protagonist's latest schemes and as a result, threats from her husband to remove her to Connecticut if she persists in her association with Lady Susan.
The infamous Churchill scene was actually the audition scene for casting purposes, as the director underwent quite a search for the role of Sir James Martin. Luckily, Tom Bennett was a perfect fit for this role and has just recently won a London Critics Circle Film Awards, along with Kate Beckinsale for their roles in the film. Love & Friendship has been nominated for many awards and has received some wonderful recognition this year.
Mr. Stillman described how there was also the possibility of a Christian investor for the film, therefore he thought about what he could add to the film that would be considered "good." The inclusion of the Bible and the Ten Commandments, which he revised for the film into the "unforgettable" Twelve Commandments, felt well-suited to the film, as they are so well-known throughout the world. Mr. Stillman estimates that the final creation of his work is about 2/3 Jane Austen and 1/3 his creations. Luck also played a role in some aspects of the film, as he told us for example that the editor captions that introduce the characters throughout the film turned out as the result of a happy accident.
Ms. Spennicchia and Mr. Stillman discussed their ideas about what may have inspired Austen to write Lady Susan, which includes the possibility that Eliza Comtesse de Feuillide, née Hancock, was the inspiration for quite a few of Austen's works, including Lady Susan, Henry and Eliza, and Mansfield Park. She may have also been the model for the character of Mary Crawford. Eliza was not only Austen's cousin, she also later became her sister-in-law after she married Jane's beloved brother, Henry. Spennicchia and Stillman also discussed how Les Liaisons dangereuses, a French epistolary novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, along with the writing style of Fanny Burney, may have also influenced Austen's novella, Lady Susan.
"A procrastinating writer is the least busy person in the room." Whit Stillman
Taking us back to his earlier years with Austen, he told the audience how was offered to direct what eventually became Emma Thompson's 1995 adaptation of Sense & Sensibility, after Rob Reiner turned down the opportunity. He believes Ang Lee did a beautiful job executing the film, and I couldn't agree more with him. Yet, Stillman wasn't an ardent admirer of Austen's story about the Dashwood sisters, as he said that the novel didn't really impact him when he first read it, but upon a subsequent reading, he found himself enjoying the story in a new way. He recommends Sense and Sensibility as a good entry novel into Austen, particularly for nonfiction readers, while also expressing that, "It's a shame kids are forced to read the classics and get turned off by them." As an educator, that's a sentiment I have also struggled with nearly my entire career.
The interview was concluded with a brief conversation about Mr. Stillman's future plans regarding future Austen adaptations, which I was thrilled to hear him say may include a remake of Mansfield Park. If that announcement is ever made, I'll need my smelling salts for sure! In the meantime, I highly recommend a DVD viewing of Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship for your next Austen-fix.
Love & Friendship earned $133,513 from four theaters during its opening weekend in May 2016. Currently, the film has grossed over $20 million worldwide, against an estimated production budget of $3 million. Check out the trailer below for a taste of this delicious adaptation:
I am offering a giveaway of a Blu-ray DVD of Love & Friendship, which has been autographed by Whit Stillman, to one Just Jane 1813 reader. Please leave a comment on the post below no later midnight, Eastern Time on February 26th and the winner will be announced on this blog on February 27, 2017. This giveaway is open to international winners too!!
Thank you, Mr. Stillman, for spending a wonderful evening with us. If you're headed to the JASNA AGM this year, Mr. Stillman is attending and will be one of the plenary speakers at this event. There will be a session titled: Lady Susan's Closeup: An Interview with Whit Stillman and Special Screening of Love & Friendship with Peter Graham from Virginia Tech, VA.
You can also read my review of Love & Friendship that was posted earlier last year, along with my review of Mr. Stillman's book, Love & Friendship that I reviewed for the blog tour.
Love & Friendship can be purchased on DVD and viewed through Amazon Prime.

One judgment may go Paisley's way, but there are others
Ian Paisley jnr is expecting some good news in the not too distant future.
But the dismissal of an Assembly complaint against him would still leave a number of other hurdles to be cleared.
It is believed that a standards investigation into the registration of his Bushmills holiday home is nearing completion.
Mr Paisley jnr is privately confident about the outcome.
From the outset he has been saying that the property remained in the name of developer Seymour Sweeney's wife due to an error.
The registration was corrected late last year and even critics of the MLA privately accept that the saga was an embarrassing oversight.
The remaining complaints against the two Paisleys are likely to involve judgment calls by the Standards Commissioners at Westminster and Stormont.
For instance, the 2003 letter sent by Mr Paisley snr in support of Sweeney's Heritage Lottery grant application.
It has been convincingly demonstrated that this letter - apparently signed on the DUP leader's behalf by his son - was wrong in its claim the developer's plans had been approved by Unesco.
The Westminster commissioner now has to decide if this amounts to a breach of the MPs' Code of Conduct.
Likewise, with the Stormont complaints on whether links to Mr Sweeney should have been declared in the Register of Interests.
The Assembly Code of Conduct suggests that the key test involves establishing if a connection might "reasonably be thought to be relevant ".
Early verdicts on these matters are not expected.

On March 30, all Facebook sites were converted to the new timeline, whether you wanted it or not. Many FB users voiced their preference not to have it, but to no avail. While Facebook has been preparing us for this change for months and encouraging us to make it on our own, I waited until the last minute to do it myself. Since then, I have done a little research on the new timeline and share my findings with you.
- The new timeline is what we used to call the "wall." It is in a two column format and others can write on it.
- Everything you have ever posted on Facebook is more accessible by year on your timeline.
- If you have concerns about who is seeing what on your timeline, you can go to the Privacy Settings ( click the down arrow next to Home and select Privacy Settings) to make sure that they are what you want. It is good to do this periodically anyway as Facebook keeps changing.
- You can go back through your old posts and remove them or change the audience who can view them. Select a post. With your mouse, hover over the upper right hand corner of the post and select Highlight, Edit or Remove.
- The new timeline has three main components: cover page, my stories and apps.
- The cover page is just a large header at the top of your timeline. You can upload a photo to the space. Everyone sees your cover. Facebook suggests that you select a photo that is significant to you, but you can also find many free artistic covers with a search on Google. I chose one from this site.
- Apps are the applications you use with Facebook and you can decide who sees these. I am the only one who sees my apps.
- If you are not sure what others are seeing on your timeline, you can still view your site as one of your friends or as the public. Just click the down arrow next to activity log which appears below your Facebook cover page. Click on "View as…" You may select public or insert a friend's name.
- Facebook has provided information on how to get the most out of the new timeline and you can find that here .
- The new timeline will take some getting used to, but what else is new?
What is your experience with the new timeline? Please share any tips you have picked up. Thank you very much!
Have a blessed Holy Week and a very Happy Easter! My next post will be April 17.

Well maintained and spacious with amazing views! Working with Dan was a pleasure. Very responsive and accommodating to our needs and requests. We'll be back!
Wonderful stay for the entire family. Would definetly recommend.
Wow! What a neat home. Lots of room. Super Clean. About 30 minutes north of the North Entrance to Yellowstone. Very well maintained. Bedrooms are large, two bathrooms upstairs are very convenient. Great kitchen and family room. TV is available but we never used it because we were playing games, hot tubbing, and having a ball with our grandsons. Would definitely recommend this home. Owners are very responsive to email and texts. Thanks so much Brain and Dan - you helped make our family trip to Yellowstone a trip that everyone will always remember.
We recently had 4 families (total of 11 people) stay at this beautiful home for 5 nights. Everyone had seen the online pictures before we arrived and the immediate reaction was that the pictures did not fully do the house justice. The house was spotless and fully furnished above our expectations. It had a wonderfully equipped kitchen, with outdoor grill facilities. The very comfortable beds were appreciated by all . The large deck and hot tub were a central area for all with the amazing views all around. The 2 partners in this home were extremely helpful and easy to deal with in all the preplanning questions we had. The surrounding views were incredible and only about 30 minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone. This home went so far above and beyond what we were expecting and set the tone for a wonderful family vacation to Yellowstone. We could not have asked for more and would very highly recommend this property to anyone.
We had a great stay at this clean, well stocked home in Emigrant. Eight family members were quite comfortable staying here. The views from the hot tub on the back deck are some of the best around. Being halfway between Bozeman and Yellowstone was great. The owner and property manager are both pleasant and accommodating. Daniel called to check in and was readily available by text for any questions. We loved having chopped firewood at our disposal. There was a little snow in May, which was exciting for we Georgians! Made the hot tub quite fun! You will be happy here, if not, you're probably not happy anywhere. 😜
Our stay was very enjoyable, & were quite pleased overall. The property was well maintained & had many amenities. We would definitely recommend this property to others. A few recommendations however would be, to repair/replace the wifi router, repair the jets in the hot tub about half didn't work, & the ceiling fans in the 2 upstairs bedrooms didn't seem to work either. We would also suggest having operating instructions for the Bun coffee maker posted, since it was a bit complicated to operate compared to most conventional coffee makers. I hope this helps, Thank you.
Nestled in the beautiful Paradise Valley halfway between Livingston and Yellowstone National Park (both about 25 miles). The Yellowstone River flows through the valley between towering mountains nearly 12,000 feet high. The large deck and sunroom and living room look straight out at Emigrant Peak, the tallest and most beautiful of all of the mountains. You could not be more centrally located in Paradise Valley and what a fabulous location from which to explore Yellowstone Park. Chico Hot Springs Resort is only 5 minutes away and has a hot springs pool for swimming and soaking as well as a top-notch gourmet restaurant and old time saloon with live music on weekends. Horseback riding, dog sledding, etc. are all available as well. After a day of fly-fishing on the Yellowstone River or hiking in Yellowstone Park, have a soak at Chico Hot Springs Resort which is just 5 minutes from home and then enjoy dinner at the casual, western fine dining restaurant before heading next door to the saloon for some drinks and live entertainment.
Wedding parties find the house ultra-convenient for their stay in order to attend all the festivities and wedding ceremonies at Chico!

The Best Probiotics
I have spent a considerable amount of time researching over the past few months on probiotics. Probiotics are supplements that contain the types of bacteria normally found in a healthy digestive tract. These bacterial strains such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are found everywhere in our environment and help to keep our digestive tracts healthy. They help us to digest our food, create important vitamins such as the B-vitamins and Vitamin K, and make many minerals more bio-available such as iron and calcium. They also help our bodies to detoxify and eliminate toxic metals such as mercury, aluminum and lead. From the moment we are born these billions of bacterium establish themselves in our gut and work together with our body in a mutually beneficial way. In fact, over 90% of the genetic material found in the human body comes from these microorganisms!
Unfortunately, over the past century or so we have drastically changed our relationship with these microbes. Instead of beneficial bacteria many of us have opportunistic and pathogenic microbes in our gut such as Clostridia, Candida, Staphylococci, and more. Instead of beneficial vitamins and nutrients these pathogens create harmful chemicals and toxins that clog up our body and overload our detoxification systems.
In order to restore the balance of microbiota in the intestinal system it can be helpful to use a therapeutic grade of probiotic as a supplement. There are many probiotic products out there on the market and a good many of them are an unfortunate waste of money. Here are some of the most important features I look for in a good quality product.
Superdophilus Dairy Powder from Natren - Lactobacillus Acidophilus is the primary bacteria found in the small intestines. This is a super strain that adheres well to the gut wall. This is what you want to supplement with if you have nutrient absorption problems, anemia, food sensitivities, auto-immune diseases, allergies, indigestion, heartburn, gas and bloating, and other digestive complaints. Start with 1 billion bacterium per day and gradually increase to a therapeutic dose of 15-20 billion. A maintenance dose is typically half of the therapeutic dose although it may vary per individual. Children ages 4-10 should receive no more than 12 billion per day.
Bifidonate Dairy Powder from Natren - Bifidobacteria Bifidophilus is the primary bacteria found in the large intestines, urinary tract and genital area. Supplement with this if you have colitis, Irritable Bowel, Diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, Constipation, Diarrhea, cramping pains in the abdomen, yeast infections, jock itch, prostatitis, frequent urinary tract infections, vaginitis and other reproductive disorders. Start with 1 billion bacterium per day and gradually increase to a therapeutic dose of 15-20 billion per day. A maintenance dose is typically half of the therapeutic dose although it may vary per individual. Children ages 4-10 should receive no more than 12 billion per day.
Life Start Dairy Powder from Natren - Bifidobacteria Infantis is the primary strain found in a healthy infant's digestive tract. This should be used for children up to the age of four years that were born by caesarean, not breastfed, received antibiotics either during birth or afterwards, have frequent ear infections and illnesses, have eczema, allergies, acid reflux, colic, food sensitivities, autism, ADD, ADHD, and more. For an infant up to 1 year of age begin with a small amount and increase to no more than 1-2 billion bacterium per day. Ages 1-2 should use no more than 4 billion per day and 2-4 years should have no more than 8 billion bacterium per day as a therapeutic dose. A maintenance dose is typically half the therapeutic dose.
Trenev Trio Capsules from Natren - This product contains three super strains of bacteria in one product. The bacterium are kept separate by using an oil-matrix that carries them past the stomach acidity and releases them in the small intestine as the oil is emulsified by bile. This product contains a high amount of bacterium and so should be used with caution if you have chronic digestive issues. Use one capsule daily if you are currently on antibiotics or have recently been on them; have been under extreme stress; have experienced a "tummy-bug" or recent food poisoning; or would like to boost your immune system to fight off illness.
As you supplement with probiotics it is not unusual to have a "die-off" reaction as the chemical byproducts of the beneficial bacteria kill off the pathogens in your gut. This can cause fatigue, aching, an off-color feeling, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other digestive discomforts. This reaction typically lasts no more than a few days to one week. Hold at your previous level of probiotic until the symptoms subside.

Making Meat Stock
I'm firmly convinced that part of the reason our society has so many health problems is because we have forgotten how to cook at home.
Stock used to be a family staple that added flavor and nutrition to soups, sauces, gravies and other dishes. In most gourmet restaurants the stock is still the foundation of the kitchen.
Particularly important for the GAPS diet both in the Introductory phase and the Full GAPS Diet, meat stock aids digestion and has been known for centuries as a healing folk remedy for the digestive tract. It is full of minerals, vitamins, amino-acids and various other nutrients in a very bio-available form. This is what seals and heals up the holes in the digestive lining that contributes to food allergies and other sensitivities.
Following is a general formula for a simple stock made from a miscellaneous collection of bones and meat scraps. The stock can be made from bones alone, but it will taste and smell more appetizing if some meat is included. A 50% ratio of meat to bones is good.
Simple Meat Stock
3 quarts of meat and bones chopped into 2- to 3-inch pieces (raw or cooked veal or beef bones and meat, and/or poultry carcasses, scraps, and giblets)
An 8- to 10-quart pot
Cold filtered water
2 tsp Celtic or Himalayan sea salt
2 medium-sized carrots
2 medium-sized peeled onions
2 medium-sized celery stalks
The following tied in washed cheesecloth or a coffee filter:
1/4 t. thyme
1 bay leaf
6 parsley sprigs
2 unpeeled garlic cloves
5 whole peppercorns
Place the meat and bones in the pot and add cold filtered water to cover them by 2 inches. Set over medium heat. As the liquid comes slowly to simmer, a grayish colored scum will rise to the top. Remove it with a spoon or ladle.
Add all the other ingredients and more water if needed. Partially cover the pot leaving a 1 inch space for steam to escape. Maintain liquid at a very quiet simmer for 4 to 5 hours or more. Boiling water should be added if the liquid evaporates below the level of ingredients. Strain the stock. Set the stock in the refrigerator until the fat rises to the top and hardens so it can be skimmed off. This fat should not be tossed out but rather added back to soups or used for cooking instead of vegetable oils. The stock can be frozen or remain covered in the refrigerator. It will need to be brought to a boil every 3 or 4 days to keep it from spoiling.
* Cooking can be stopped at any time and continued later.
* Don't cover the pot completely until the contents have cooked or it may sour.
* If the flavor is weak the stock can be boiled down some to concentrate its flavors.
A cup of this warmed meat stock can be drunk with meals to improve digestion. Use as a base for vegetable soups and stews. Fermented liquids or foods can be added to the stock just before serving.
This stock is an essential part of the GAPS diet... if you are not making the stock you are not healing your gut!
A letter to my clients - GAPS
Hello, this is Dr. Kathryn from Elder & Sage!
Over the years I have noticed a significant trend in the health of my clients. No matter what the other physical symptoms presenting - there seems to be a significant digestive/intestinal system imbalance. Often there is congestion in the liver and some of the major elimination pathways including the bowels, urinary, respiratory, and skin systems. In my extensive research in trying to deal with these underlying issues I came across the Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome (GAPS). This is the connection between how our physical and mental health is dependent on the health of our digestive tract and the micro-organisms contained within it. I would say that over 90% of my clients are GAPS clients. These are the people that fall into the gap of modern medical knowledge and have limited success with nearly every standard treatment out there.
I recently spent some time at a training seminar in Chicago to become a Certified GAPS Practitioner. This training has helped me to understand the wide variety of conditions that stem from gut dysbiosis (gut bacteria out of balance). It has also helped me to put together a plan for helping my clients heal themselves based on the clinical practice of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride who works with thousands of GAPS patients around the globe. Overwhelmed with the demand for her expertise, Dr. Campbell-McBride has certified a handful of practitioners like me throughout the US to help her respond to the growing number of people dealing with this condition.
The GAPS program has three main components; the GAPS nutritional plan, specific supplementation, and ways to detoxify the body. Most important is the GAPS Nutritional Plan, which provides large amounts of nourishing substances to heal the gut lining while eliminating those foods that are difficult to digest as well as those that feed pathogenic microbes.
So how do you know whether or not you have GAPS?
As you can see this includes a wide majority of the population!
I have spoken to many of you about gut dysbiosis already and have introduced quite a few to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The GAPS diet is based off of the SCD diet with a few significant changes as well as providing a comprehensive plan of action based on the individual's needs.
I will be conducting a seminar soon to help educate my clients about what is GAPS and how they can begin to recover from it. I hope for this to evolve into a regular support group including food demonstrations and more. I would like this to be an affordable way for many of you to make the lifestyle changes necessary to promote significant results in your health.
More information about the GAPS Seminar will be coming soon. We also plan to record this seminar for posting on our website and to make available for purchase.
To Your Health!
Dr. Kathryn Doran-Fisher, ND
What is GAPS?
This is an article written by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut & Psychology Sydrome. I'm reposting it here to help you understand what GAPS is and why it is so beneficial for so many of my clients. You can find out more by visiting Dr. Campbell-McBride's website.
Gut & Psychology (GAP Syndrome or GAPS)
by Dr. N. Campbell-McBride
We live in the world of unfolding epidemics. Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD), schizophrenia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression, obsessive –compulsive disorder, bi-polar disorder and other neuro-psychological and psychiatric problems in children and young adults are becoming more and more common.
In clinical practice these conditions more often than not overlap with each other. A child with autism often is hyperactive and dyspraxic. There is about 50% overlap between dyslexia and dyspraxia and 25-50% overlap between hyperactivity and dyslexia and dyspraxia. Children with these conditions are often diagnosed as being depressed and as they grow up they are more prone to substance abuse or alcoholism than their typically developing peers. A young adult diagnosed with schizophrenia would often suffer from dyslexia, dyspraxia or/and ADHD/ADD in childhood. Schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder are often described as two sides of one coin. We have created different diagnostic boxes to fit our patients in. But a modern patient does not fit into any one of them neatly. The modern patient in most cases fits into a rather lumpy picture of overlapping neurological and psychiatric conditions.
When we examine these patients in a clinical setting, we find that apart from so-called mental problems, they are also physically very ill. Digestive disorders, malnourishment, allergies, asthma, eczema, chronic cystitis, thrush and fussy eating habits are a consistent part of the picture.
What is a typical scenario we see in clinical practice?
Before examining the patient it is very important to look at the health history of the parents. Whenever the parents are mentioned people immediately think about genetics. However, apart of genetics there is something very important the parents, mother in particular, pass to their child: their unique gut micro-flora. Not many people know that an adult on average carries 2 kg of bacteria in the gut. There are more cells in that microbial mass than there are cells in an entire human body. It is a highly organised micro-world, where certain species of bacteria have to predominate to keep us healthy physically and mentally. Their role in our health is so monumental, that we simply cannot afford to ignore them. We will talk in detail about the child's gut flora later. Now let us come back to the source of the child's gut flora – the parents.
After studying hundreds of cases or neurological and psychiatric conditions in children, a typical health picture of these children's mums has emerged.
A typical modern mother was probably not breast fed when she was a baby, because she was born in 60s or 70s when breast-feeding went out of fashion. Why is it important? Because it is well known that bottle fed babies develop completely different gut flora to the breast fed babies. This compromised gut flora in a bottle fed baby later on predisposes her to many health problems. Having acquired compromised gut flora from the start, a typical modern mum had quite a few courses of antibiotics in her childhood and youth for various infections. It is a well known fact that antibiotics have a serious damaging effect on the gut flora, because they wipe out the beneficial strains of bacteria in the gut. At the age of 16 and sometimes even earlier the modern mum was put on a contraceptive pill, which she took for quite a few years before starting a family. Contraceptive pills have a devastating effect on the beneficial (good) bacteria in the gut. One of the major functions of the good bacteria in the gut flora is controlling about 500 different known to science species of pathogenic (bad) and opportunistic microbes. When the beneficial bacteria get destroyed the opportunists get a special opportunity to grow into large colonies and occupy large areas of the digestive tract. A modern diet of processed and fast foods provides perfect nourishment for these pathogens and that is a typical diet a modern mum had as a child and a young adult. As a result of all these factors a modern mum has seriously compromised gut flora by the time she is ready to have children. And indeed clinical signs of gut dysbiosis (abnormal gut flora) are present in almost 100% of mothers of children with neurological and psychiatric conditions. The most common health problems in mothers are digestive abnormalities, allergies, auto-immunity, PMS, chronic fatigue, headaches and skin problems.
A baby is born with a sterile gut. In the first 20 or so days of life the baby's virgin gut surface gets populated by a mixture of microbes. This is the child's gut flora, which will have a tremendous effect on this child's health for the rest of his/her life. Where does this gut flora come from? Mainly from the mother.
So, whatever microbial flora the mother has she would pass to her new-born child.
Gut flora is something we do not think much about. And yet the number of functions the gut flora fulfills is so vital for us that if some day our digestive tract got sterilised we probably would not survive.
The first and very important function is appropriate digestion and absorption of food. If a child does not acquire normal balanced gut flora, then the child will not digest and absorb foods properly, developing multiple nutritional deficiencies. And that is what we commonly see in children and adults with learning disabilities, psychiatric problems and allergies. Many of these patients are malnourished. Even in the cases where the child may grow well, testing reveals some typical nutritional deficiencies in many important minerals, vitamins, essential fats, many amino-acids and other nutrients. The most common deficiencies, recorded in these patients, are in magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, calcium, manganese, sulphur, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vanadium, boron, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, A, D, folic acid, pantothenic acid, omega-3, 6, 9 fatty acids, taurine, alpha-ketoglutaric acid, glutathione and many other amino-acids. This usual list of nutritional deficiencies includes some most important nutrients for normal development and function of the child's brain, immune system and the rest of the body.
Apart of normal digestion and absorption of food healthy gut flora actively synthesises various nutrients: vitamin K, pantothenic acid, folic acid, thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), ciancobalamine (vitamin B12), various amino-acids and proteins. Indeed, when tested people with gut dysbiosis always present with deficiencies of these nutrients. Clinical experience shows that restoring the beneficial bacteria in their gut is the best way to deal with these deficiencies.
The majority of children and adults with neurological and psychiatric conditions look pale and pasty. When tested they show various stages of anaemia, which is not surprising. To have a healthy blood we require many different nutrients: vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, K, A, D, etc), minerals (Fe, Ca, Mg, Zn, Co, Se, boron, etc.), essential amino-acids and fats. These patients not only cannot absorb these nutrients from food, but their own production of many of them in the body is damaged. On top of that people with damaged gut flora often have particular groups of pathogenic bacteria growing in their gut, which are iron-loving bacteria (Actinomyces spp., Mycobacterium spp., pathogenic strains of E.Coli, Corynebacterium spp. and many others). They consume whatever iron the person gets from the diet, leaving that person deficient in iron. Unfortunately, supplementing iron only makes these bacteria grow stronger and does not remedy anaemia. To treat anaemia the person requires all the nutrients we have mentioned, many of which healthy gut flora supplies.
Apart from taking a direct part in nourishing the body, beneficial bacteria in the gut act as the housekeepers for the digestive tract. They coat the entire surface of the gut protecting it from invaders and toxins by providing a natural barrier and producing a lot of anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal substances. At the same time they provide the gut lining with nourishment. It is estimated that 60 – 70% of energy, the gut lining derives, is from the activity of bacteria, which live on it. So, it is no surprise that when the gut flora is abnormal the digestive tract itself cannot be healthy. Indeed most children and adults with learning disabilities, psychiatric disorders and allergies present with digestive problems. In many cases these problems are so severe, that the patients (or their parents) talk about them first. In some cases they may not be very severe, but when asked direct questions the parents describe that their child never had normal stool, that their child suffered from colic as a baby and that tummy pains, bloating and flatulence are a common part of the picture. Adult sufferers describe the same kind of symptoms. In those cases where these children and adults have been examined by gastro-enterologists inflammatory process in the gut was found along with faecal compaction and an over-spill syndrome. Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his team at the Royal Free Hospital in London in the late 90s found an inflammatory condition in the bowel of autistic children, which they have named Autistic Enterocolitis. Schizophrenic patients were always known to have serious digestive problems. Dr. Curtis Dohan, MD has devoted many years to researching digestive abnormalities in schizophrenia. He found a lot of similarities between coeliac disease and the state of the digestive tract in schizophrenics. Indeed, in my clinical practice long before these patients develop psychotic symptoms they suffer from digestive problems and all other typical symptoms of gut dysbiosis pretty much from the start of their lives. Children and young adults with ADHD/ADD, OCD, depression and other neuro-psychological problems are very often reported to suffer from digestive abnormalities.
What other symptoms of gut dysbiosis do we know?
Well-functioning gut flora is the right hand of our immune system. The beneficial bacteria in the gut ensure appropriate production of different immune cells, immunoglobulins and other parts of the immunity. But most importantly they keep the immune system in the right balance. What typically happens in a person with gut dysbiosis is that two major arms of their immune system Th1 and Th2 get out of balance with underactive Th1 and overactive Th2. As a result the immune system starts reacting to most environmental stimuli in an allergic or atopic kind of way.
A baby is born with an immature immune system. Establishment of healthy balanced gut flora in the first few days of life plays a crucial role in appropriate maturation of the immune system. If the baby does not acquire appropriate gut flora then the baby is left immune compromised. The result is lots of infections followed by lots of courses of antibiotics, which damage the child's gut flora and immune system even further. The most common infections in the first two years of life in the children with neurological, psychological and atopic disorders are ear infections, chest infections, sore throats and impetigo. At the same time in the first two years of life the child receives a lot of vaccinations. A child with compromised immune system does not react to vaccinations in a predicted way. In most cases vaccines deepen the damage to the immune system and provide a source of chronic persistent viral infections and autoimmune problems in these children. There has been a considerable amount of research published into the state of the immune system in children and adults with learning disabilities and psychiatric problems. The research shows deep abnormalities in all major cell groups and immunoglobulins in these patients. The most common autoantibodies found are to myelin basic protein (MBP) and neuron-axon filament protein (NSFP). These antibodies attack the person's brain and the rest of the nervous system.
So, the modern patient (child or adult), who we are talking about, did not get normal gut flora from the start and then got it damaged even further by repeated courses of antibiotics and vaccinations. As a result these children and adults commonly suffer from digestive problems, allergies, asthma and eczema. But apart from that in people who then go on to develop neurological and psychiatric problems something even more terrible happens. Without control of the beneficial bacteria different opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi have a good chance to occupy large territories in the digestive tract of the patient and grow large colonies. Two particular groups which are most commonly found on testing are yeasts (including Candida species) and Clostridia family. These pathogenic microbes start digesting food in their own way producing large amounts of various toxic substances, which get absorbed into the blood stream, carried to the brain and cross the blood – brain barrier. The number and mixture of toxins can be very individual, causing different neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Due to the absence or greatly reduced numbers of beneficial bacteria in the gut flora, the person's digestive system instead of being a source of nourishment becomes a major source of toxicity in the body.
So, what kind of toxins are we talking about?
There are many toxins, which we have not studied very well yet. But some toxins have received a considerable amount of research. Let us have a look at them.
Acetaldehyde & Alcohol
The most common pathogenic microbes shown to overgrow in the digestive systems of children and adults with neuro-psychiatric conditions are yeasts, particularly Candida species. Yeasts ferment dietary carbohydrates with production of alcohol and its by-product acetaldehyde. Let us see what does a constant exposure to alcohol and acetaldehyde do to the body.
Liver damage with reduced ability to detoxify drugs, pollutants and other toxins.
Pancreas degeneration with reduced ability to produce pancreatic enzymes, which would impair digestion.
Reduced ability of the stomach wall to produce stomach acid.
Damage to immune system.
Brain damage with lack of self-control, impaired co-ordination, impaired speech development, aggression, mental retardation, loss of memory and stupor.
Peripheral nerve damage with altered senses and muscle weakness.
Direct muscle tissue damage with altered ability to contract and relax and muscle weakness.
Nutritional deficiencies from damaging effect on digestion and absorption of most vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Deficiencies in B and A vitamins are particularly common.
Alcohol has an ability to enhance toxicity of most common drugs, pollutants and other toxins.
Alteration of metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids in the body.
Inability of the liver to dispose of old neurotransmitters, hormones and other by-products of normal metabolism. As a result these substances accumulate in the body, causing behavioural abnormalities and many other problems.
Acetaldehyde is considered to be the most toxic of alcohol by-products. It is the chemical, which gives us the feeling of hangover. Anybody who experienced a hangover would tell you how dreadful he or she felt. Children, who acquire abnormal gut flora with a lot of yeast from the start, may never know any other feeling. Acetaldehyde has a large variety of toxic influences on the body. One of the most devastating influences of this chemical is its ability to alter the structure of proteins. Acetaldehyde – altered proteins are thought to be responsible for many autoimmune reactions. Children and adults with neuro-psychiatric problems are commonly found to have antibodies against their own tissues.
Clostridia Neurotoxins
There are about 100 different Clostridia species known so far. They are present in the stools of people with autism, schizophrenia, psychosis, severe depression, muscle paralysis and muscle tonus abnormalities and some other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Many Clostridia species are normal inhabitants of a human gut. For example Clostridium tetani is routinely found in the gut of healthy humans and animals. Everybody knows that tetanus is a deadly disease, due to an extremely powerful neurotoxin Clostridium tetani produces. Clostridium tetani, which lives in the gut, is normally controlled by the beneficial bacteria and does us no harm, because its toxin cannot get through the healthy gut wall. Unfortunately, patients, which we are talking about, do not have a healthy gut wall. In gut dysbiosis this powerful neurotoxin can get through the damaged gut lining and then cross the blood-brain barrier affecting the person's mental development. Many other species of Clostridia (perfringens, novyi, septicum, histolyticum, sordelli, aerofoetidum, tertium, sporogenes, etc) produce toxins similar to tetanus toxin as well as many other toxins. Dr. William Shaw at Great Plains Laboratories describes in detail number of autistic children, who showed serious improvements in their development and biochemical tests while on anti-Clostridia medication. Unfortunately, as soon as the medication was stopped the children slipped back into autism, because these children do not have healthy gut flora to control Clostridia and not to allow their toxins through the gut lining into the bloodstream. In many cases Clostridia were not identified in the stools of these children, because Clostridia are strict anaerobes and are very difficult to study. We need to come up with some better ways of testing for these potent pathogens.
Yeasts and Clostridia have been given a special opportunity by the era of antibiotics. Broad-spectrum antibiotics do not touch them while killing the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which are supposed to control the yeasts and Clostridia. So, after every course of antibiotics these two pathogenic groups get out of control and overgrow. The patients that we are talking about usually are exposed to numerous courses of antibiotics pretty much from the beginning of their lives.
Gluteomorphins & Casomorphins or opiates from gluten and casein.
Gluten is a protein present in grains, mainly wheat, rye, oats, barley. Casein is a milk protein, present in cow, goat, sheep, human and all other milk and milk products. In the bodies of children and adults with autism and schizophrenia these proteins do not get digested properly due to the fact that their digestive systems are full of abnormal microbial flora and hence unhealthy. As a result of misdigestion gluten and casein turn into substances with similar chemical structure of opiates, like morphine and heroin. There has been quite a substantial amount of research done in this area by Dohan, Reichelt, Shattock, Cade and others, where gluten and casein peptides, called gluteomorphins and casomorphins, were detected in the urine of schizophrenic patients and autistic children. Incidentally, these substances were also found in patients with depression and rheumatoid arthritis. These opiates from wheat and milk get through the blood-brain barrier and block certain areas of the brain, just like morphine or heroin would do, causing various neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Based on this research the gluten and casein free diet (GFCF diet) has been developed.
Dermorphin & Deltorphin
These are two frightening toxic substances with opiate structure, which have been found in autistic children by a biochemist Alan Friedman, PhD. Dermorphin and deltorphin were first identified on the skin of a poison dart frog in South America. Native people used to dip their darts into the mucous on these frogs in order to paralyse their enemy, because deltorphin and dermorphin are extremely potent neurotoxins. Dr Friedman believes that it is not the frog that produces these neurotoxins, but a fungus, which grows on the skin of this frog. It is possible that this fungus grows in the gut of autistic children, supplying their bodies with dermorphin and deltorphin.
Organic Acid Testing available now in many laboratories around the world identify various metabolites of microbial activity in the gut, which get absorbed and finish up in the patient's urine. Many of these metabolites are highly poisonous substances.
Low Serum Sulphate is a common picture in these patients, which is an indirect indication of toxicity in the body, because sulphates are essential for many detoxification processes and normal metabolism of brain neurotransmitters. In many cases the person may be getting plenty of sulphates through the diet, but they all get consumed by the detox pathways struggling with the river of toxicity, which is constantly coming from the person's gut. At the same time another large group of bacteria, which commonly overgrow in the gut dysbiosis situation are sulphate-reducing bacteria, which make sulphur unavailable for the body to use. These bacteria metabolise sulphate coming from food into sulphites, many of which are toxic like hydrogen sulphide for example, which is the gas with rotten egg smell. Some parents of autistic, hyperactive and other children tell me that their child's stool has this characteristic smell.
The mixture of toxicity in each child or adult can be quite individual and different. But what they all have in common is gut dysbiosis. The toxicity, which is produced by the abnormal microbial mass in these people, establishes a link between the gut and the brain. That is why I have grouped these disorders together and gave them a name: the Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAP Syndrome). The GAPS children and adults can present with symptoms of autism, ADHD, ADD, OCD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, schizophrenia, depression, sleep disorders, allergies, asthma and eczema in any possible combination. These are the patients who fall in the gap in our medical knowledge. Any child or adult with a learning disability, neurological or psychiatric problems should be thoroughly examined for gut dysbiosis. Re-establishing normal gut flora and treating the digestive system of the patient has to be the number one treatment for these disorders, before considering any other treatments with drugs or otherwise.
Gut And Psychology Syndrome (GAP Syndrome or GAPS) establishes the connection between the state of the patient's gut and the functioning of the brain. This connection has been known by medics for a very long time. The father of modern psychiatry French psychiatrist Phillipe Pinel (1745–1828), after working with mental patients for many years, concluded in 1807: "The primary seat of insanity generally is in the region of the stomach and intestines." Long before him Hippocrates (460-370 BC), the father of modern medicine has said: "All diseases begin in the gut!" The more we learn with our modern scientific tools, the more we realise just how right they were!

MINNEAPOLIS — Relaxed in a locker, Eddie Lacy smiled like he could handle another 29 carries.
No way, he assured. That was more than enough.
The Green Bay Packer rookie running back was informed that many of the fans cheering him through this 44-31 win were the ones pining for Steven Jackson. He was then told Jackson was, you know, invisible Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons' banged-up, 30-something back rushed for six yards on 11 carries.
"Ha, ha!" Lacy laughed sharply, catching himself. "Oh, that's not funny. That's not funny."
Of course he's laughing at the irony, not the player. From the auxiliary press box Sunday, general manager Ted Thompson should have chuckled, too. These first seven games justified his off-season, his vision. He chose to wait at running back, drafting Lacy instead of overpaying for Jackson. He didn't bite on free agents to stitch a defense licking its wounds from San Francisco.
Instead, again, the GM relied on the NFL draft. He counted on players maturing.
At the Senior Bowl we talked about the playoff loss. We talked about Dom Capers. And when a player's comment that the Packers needed to get "tougher, bigger, faster" was brought up, Thompson echoed back "Yeah, tougher, bigger, faster is all good" and turned his attention back to the prospects at practice.
Thompson didn't give in to fan pressure then and it's paying off now. Through injuries, youth has been served.
Six yards for Jackson?
"In Ted we trust," right guard T.J. Lang said. "As a player, you're never in a position to question what management does. And I think the whole draft-and-develop philosophy that we have here is obviously a formula for winning.
"As a player, it makes you feel good that you get the time to develop and give you that trust. You're here for a reason. They expect you to perform at a high level. Obviously, with the decisions he's making upstairs, you trust."
As of two weeks ago, the Packers' league-high 14 rookies were well above the league's team average of 8.9. And 28 players on the roster are fifth-round picks or lower.
"It's something that probably annoys the fans more than it does the players," Lang continued.
But come on. You have a contender. Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback. The championship window is wide open. Isn't the urge to add veterans — one, two, three to put you over the top — deafening? Players know the track record of Jackson, of Dashon Goldson, of other veterans on the market. Long before Lacy and James Starks gutted the Vikings for 151 yards, so many outsiders pegged Jackson the missing piece.
And he signed at three years, $12 million with Atlanta.
"I mean, there's part of you that can't help but to think that picking someone up would help," Lang said. "But that's just not the philosophy. You draft guys for a reason — to develop players. You give everybody their fair shot to go out there and be a starter and produce.
"That's something as a player that you love and you trust."
OK, Greg Jennings took more money. So what? He wouldn't refer to Rodgers by name. Who cares? Jennings had a moment of — nooo!! — honesty in that interview with the Star Tribune.
We don't know what the relationship between No. 12 and No. 85 was really like. But there have been much, much more damning things said by a former player. The paranoia was middle-school gossip at best, a concern of reporters more than the Packer players themselves. No, the takeaway in Jennings Bowl I on Sunday night is philosophy.
Thompson set a price and didn't budge. Didn't need to budge. Even with so many receivers down — Randall Cobb, James Jones, Jermichael Finley — Rodgers and the Packers didn't need Jennings this night.
Pointing to Jarrett Boykin and Myles White, defensive end Mike Daniels says Thompson's philosophy feeds an attitude. Rookies, unproven second-year players, they all are starving to make a name for themselves. Daniels himself recently joked that he was bullied in middle school. Kids took his lunch money.
On Sunday, he was the one picking pockets with two sacks.
He makes no secrets. Daniels wants people to remember the name.
"I think that's a hunger that you never lose," Daniels added. "If you look at how Clay puts his body on the line — he's one of the best players in the NFL — and he's still playing as if he's that walk-on at USC."
In truth, nobody should declare Thompson a genius until January. But the formula that often drives fans to the ledge of insanity is being tested right now. And it's succeeding.
Lacy wouldn't comment on Thompson's draft-and-develop ways. Simply, he's one of many 22- and 23-year-olds contributing.
David Bakhtiari muted Jared Allen. Micah Hyde scorched Minnesota on a 93-yard punt return for a touchdown. Boykin, undrafted in 2012, has 192 yards in two games.
The beat goes on for Ted Thompson.
Not that he was. But if Lang ever was questioning the GM — even for a millisecond — he's not now.
Said the guard, "I don't have anything against the decisions that they're making upstairs."

This is jtjk's own fork of bonescript.
BoneScript is a node.js library for physical computing on embedded Linux, starting with support for BeagleBone.
Information on the language is available at http://nodejs.org.
To check the version and to see if BoneScript is in your path, try running:
node -pe "require('bonescript').getPlatform().bonescript"
Additional documentation is available at http://beagleboard.org/bonescript.
The concept is to use Arduino-like functions written in JavaScript to simplify learning how to do physical computing tasks under embedded Linux and to further provide support for rapidly creating GUIs for your embedded applications through the use of HTML5/JavaScript web pages.
BoneScript comes installed on your BeagleBone. To update to the latest revision or install it on another distribution, use 'npm':
TERM=none npm install -g bonescript
Angstrom prerequisites:
opkg updateopkg install python-misc python-modules
Debian and Ubuntu prerequisites:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ python-setuptools python2.7-devwget -c https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/master/pkgs/dtc.shchmod +x dtc.sh./dtc.sh
Some steps to consider:
cp bonescript/etc/default/node /etc/default/nodecp bonescript/etc/profile.d/node.sh /etc/profile.d/node.shcp bonescript/systemd/\* /lib/systemd/systemsystemctl enable bonescript.socketsystemctl enable bonescript-autorun.service
To have your applications launch on startup, simply drop them into the /var/lib/cloud9/autorun folder. Moving them out of that folder will kill the processes. You are expected to only drop in already bug-free apps into this folder as there isn't a good way to perform debug on them.
There's still a lot of development going on, so be sure to check back on a frequent basis. Many of the fancier peripherals aren't yet supported except through performing file I/O.
For a Bonescript application, you must currently manually 'require' the bonescript library. Functions are then referenced through the object provided back from require.
I started out trying to provide Arduino-like setup/loop functions, but the idea really isn't a good match for JavaScript. Using JavaScript's native flow works best, but the familiar functions are enough to give you a boost in your physical computing productivity.
Here's an example:
var b = ; b;b; ; { b; { b; }}
The 'P8_12' and 'P8_13' are pin names on the board and the above example would copy the input value at P8_12 to the output P8_13 every 100 ms.
When a callback is provided, the functions will behave asynchronously. Without a callback provided, the functions will synchronize and complete before returning.
Uses https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport
Uses https://github.com/korevec/node-i2c
This code is totally unoptimized. The list of possible optimizations that run through my head is staggering. The good news is that I think it can all be done without impacting the API, primarily thanks to the introspection capabilities of JavaScript.

Topic: Elementary School (07/19/04)
TITLE: Music Class
By Randy Chambers
Billy was a hopeless case--Lisa was sure of that. He wouldn't listen, he completely ignored her, and he didn't even seem to care. He just stood there, whacking away with that flyswatter he called a tambourine. Lisa lifted her eyes and looked around at the rest of the music class. Most were just like Billy. Why should she even bother? Why should she even try? She had all she could take! She crossed her arms furiously and grimaced! "I hate you all!"
"Now, Lisa…"
Mrs. Martin wore many hats: teacher, playground monitor…weather forecaster… She had already been observing the brewing storm from across the room and with timely stealth made her way to Lisa to batten down the hatches before the big one blew.
"Now let's pick up our wooden blocks and play our song with the other children."
"Let someone else play the woodblocks. I am so very much better with the tambourine!"
Mrs. Martin picked up the woodblocks and held them out toward Lisa. "Here, Lisa. It'll be fun." Lisa scowled at Mrs. Martin, looked down at the woodblocks and begrudgingly took them from her teacher's hand. She slapped the blocks together once in protest then folded her arms and glared. Mrs. Martin turned and walked back to front and center of the classroom.
Tap, tap, tap. The baton smacked against the steel, black music stand, then raised high into the air anticipating the first downbeat. "Ready?" Mrs. Martin raised the question above the clatter of the class, and waited all eyes to turn and fix on her. A moment passed, then all was still. With swift agility the baton came down to strike the silence and birth a rippled wake of varied pitch. Mrs. Martin smiled as though they all struck chord in sync, and she received their mislaid strikes and blows as though a child's homemade gift.
Before long, all the whistles, thumps, thuds, and whines clamored together into an indistinguishable clump. Mrs. Martin continued waving her baton—up and down—slow and steady.
Mrs. Martin looked over at Lisa. Lisa hadn't moved. Her arms still folded, she pouted with every part of her body. She stopped conducting and moved toward Lisa. The class continued playing without hesitation.
"Lisa, what's wrong?"
"We sound awful!"
Mrs. Martin thought for a second, and then leaned closer and whispered in Lisa's ear. Lisa's expression perked and gleamed. Mrs. Martin smiled and handed the baton to Lisa, and walked with Lisa to the podium.
"Class, Lisa is going to conduct for us for a little while."
The noise tapered then faded, awaiting the baton's approval to continue. "Ready?" Lisa authoritatively queried. She tapped the stand and with one continual motion began pumping the baton. The class joined in.
Lisa's face beamed. The other musicians returned to sternly focusing on their own parts to play. Mrs. Martin stepped back to listen and watch. In all the clamoring chaos, there was a melodious symphony of sorts. The clanging, clopping, clapping, tom-tom thud and finger snapping; popping, clucking, and off key plucking sent shivers from ear to spine. And yet, the little hands beating, and little arms flailing gave eye to heart endearing sight of angel's wings in splendid flight. For to the eye that sees, there was the Maker's mark of pleasant approval upon such a glorious display. And in that precious moment in time, within the heart of this particular music class teacher, there grew a deeper understanding of the Master's love for all the little children of the world.
At end of class, the students scooted and scraped their metal chairs, hurried toward the instrument cabinet and laid their instruments to rest—as it were. They hurried out, with their guest conductor waiting until last to leave. Lisa stopped at the door where Mrs. Martin stood. Still beaming, Lisa looked up at her teacher.
"Mrs. Martin! Didn't we sound great today?"
"Yes, Lisa. It was something wasn't it?"
Left alone in the quiet, music room, Mrs. Martin began straightening. The children's music resonated in her heart, and lifted to her lips.
"Jesus loves the little children…"
