In Bangkok detention, refugee learns of Christ
Rajeevan Kuharasah emerges from the water after IMB missionary Martin Chappell baptizes him. The South Asian refugee wound up in detention in Bangkok after fleeing his war-torn homeland. It was in detention that he first heard the name of Jesus Christ and knew the Truth.

What is the last month of the year?
* = Required Fields
BANGKOK (BP) -- The tall, lanky man can hardly contain his excitement. He anxiously paces the narrow waiting area, stopping to tell anyone sitting in the uncomfortable, plastic government chairs his big news.
"Today is the day!" the South Asian man exclaims. Rajeevan Kuharasah is so excited that not even a big, bushy mustache can hide his toothy smile. "Today is the day I bail my wife and son out!"
His wife, Uma, and youngest son share a cell at Bangkok's International Detention Center (IDC) with 130 women plus 35 children under age 10.
Their crime was fleeing a country during a brutal civil war and seeking asylum in Thailand, a country that does not recognize international human rights laws protecting individuals seeking asylum across international lines. Here, they are illegal migrants.
At one time, the entire family was in IDC. Rajeevan and his teenage son lived in the crowded men's side but were bailed out a few months ago after receiving their official United Nations refugee status.
It's been 18 months since Rajeevan's family of four has slept in the same house, since they've eaten a meal together, since he's held his wife. Thinking about everything they've missed doesn't curb his excitement and optimism, though.
"We found a better life here," Rajeevan, whose family endured everything from torture camp to rape in South Asia, said. "This is where I first heard Jesus' name."
He motions to a group of people stuffing fruit, vegetables and toiletries into plastic bags and marking each with detention identification numbers. "They came to visit and showed me love," he said.
The eclectic group of 25 Thais, Asians and Americans are a mix of International Mission Board missionaries and congregants from Bangkok's Calvary Baptist and Immanuel Baptist churches waiting for visitation to start. All voluntarily take a few hours from their jobs to visit asylum seekers and refugees in IDC each week.
They shake Rajeevan's hand and pat him on the back in congratulations for not only the rest of his family being released today but for his being baptized less than 20 hours ago.
"I have a lot to tell my wife today," Rajeevan says excitedly.
A loud buzzer stops the conversation and the large metal gate to the visitation room slowly squeaks open. Everyone grabs a gift bag of food, provided through the Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund, and rushes in.
It's important to be the first through the security check and firmly planted in a spot along the fence. Rajeevan explains that the only way to communicate is by yelling back and forth. On days like today, when there are a lot of visitors, people are lined up two or three deep behind the visitor's barrier in this bare, open-air room.
Rajeevan laces his fingers through the chain link fence and presses his face against it, trying to get a better view of the male and female detainees coming out. He spots his wife's long, flowing, dark hair and his smile grows. Not even a neon orange uniform can hide her beauty. Uma quickly pushes her way to the front of her fence, a barrier three feet away from the visitors' side.
They can't touch. They just look at each other as if they are alone in this overcrowded room.
The roar of conversation grows around them, yet as Rajeevan yells a description of the baptismal service held the previous day at Calvary Baptist Church, Uma is captivated. Five of their friends were also baptized along with their elder son.
When the loving husband says preparations for Uma's baptism are underway, she gives him a quizzical look. Rajeevan gives a mischievous grin and finally blurts out that he can take her home in a few hours. As the news sinks in, tears of joy fill their eyes.
"Papa! Papa!" screams a seven-year-old boy, interrupting the intimate, yet very public, moment. Rajeevan reaches for his long-legged younger son and gives a tight hug before trying to smooth down his cowlick. Only children are allowed to cross the barrier and interact with the visitors. The father and son get to touch and play only during visitation.
When Rajeevan was in detention, the family would go months without seeing each other -- that is, until through some miracle, the Christians selected the four for visitation, choosing among the 1,200 living in IDC.
The 39-year-old father remembers that the church members brought fresh fruit and vegetables without asking for anything in return or pushing their beliefs. They always smiled and chatted, but were more than happy to let Rajeevan's clan have "family time." The Christians do this for everyone. This unselfish act is what originally piqued the former Hindu's interest about their God. Why would anyone come to such a depressing place and give strangers this precious gift?
He soon realized the Christians' "gift" involved more than time: it was one of peace and hope, something his war-torn family had never experienced. When IMB missionaries Martin and Carrie Chappell shared the Gospel with Rajeevan, it was the first time he'd ever heard of Jesus. The information made his heart feel so peaceful, he knew he had to go to this church.
"I went to the church and never wanted to leave. I felt peace and ," Rajeevan pauses to find the right word in English, then defaults to just pointing to IMB missionary David Johnson and other church members teasing and laughing with his family and friends through the two barriers. "Love! I found love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ."
The refugee father joins the celebrating group of friends just as Johnson shouts out a short Bible story and yells a prayer at the top of his lungs. A buzzer interrupts the impromptu small group. The hour feels as if it is over before it really began.
The detainees are herded back to their cells while the visitors file back into the waiting area and return to their jobs. Chappell pulls Rajeevan aside and hands him a bulging bag. There is enough food in it to prepare a celebration fit for a queen. The refugee bows his head in thanksgiving. God provided for his need. He has no money in his pocket to feed his family today. He spent every last dime on bail.
The refugee positions himself in the chair closest to the big metal gate where his wife will walk out and waits and waits until finally, it slowly squeaks open. Rajeevan's seven-year-old son sprints out and jumps into his waiting arms, chattering nonstop.
Rajeevan's eyes stay on the gate until Uma appears with a few heavy bags containing their belongings. Their teenager skulks up to his mother, trying to be cool. She musses his hair and then holds his chin, examining the slight shadow of peach fuzz growing on his lip. The teenager is embarrassed but pleased that his mother sees he is becoming a man.
Uma turns to her waiting husband. According to their culture, they cannot show public displays of affection like an embrace or kiss. However, the love that passes between them when Rajeevan takes Uma's heavy burden is electric.
The guard hands Uma her official refugee papers, walks the reunited family to the outer gate and offers a heartfelt goodbye. To the guard's surprise, the couple tells her there's no need for "goodbyes," because they will see her next week.
Rajeevan explains, "It is our turn to show God's love."

The other day I stumbled across this here forum, and was gob smacked to find the type of people that were to greet me there. This entire forum is seemingly devoted to Manic Depressives. And the relief I experienced in finding this, was like the Endomorphic reaction that I'm oh so used to.
I am finding this so hard to write down, let alone knowing that it'll be submitted on the World Wide Web. Please bear with me, it may seem like endless ramblings but I assure you, read between the lines and you may find some meaning in all this.
For some time now (I have mentally documented the last 18 months but it may be longer) I have been extremely concerned for my well being. As I said, I'm not sure when this all started, but there must have been a particular point in time, mustn't there?
This is my story: (The chronology of this may be a little obscured but it's roughly as it happened)
For how ever long it had been, I had experienced severe depression, raging anger, utter despair, self worthlessness, all the usual things people just experience as part of life, right? Where I could I'd try not to show how I was feeling to society as a whole. I would talk to friends or colleagues occasionally, but I would always find it hard to open up entirely.
Talking helped, definitely. I was able to take a long look at my self, assess why it was I felt so low all the time. At the same time, I had access to people's opinions of me. They hadn't necessarily noticed how depressed I had been, but often noticed irregular patterns in mood. Saying that I'd go from one extreme to the other, seemingly at the flick of a switch. I took this on board and continued researching in to my situation.
It's around here I can start putting some dates in to this troublesome tale. It was around February 2006 and I was experiencing the worst anger I'd known. It was weird because I was feeling relatively happy, not depressed or anything, but then certain situations would present themselves, and I'd almost have a panic attack, my heart would start to beat really fast, I'd feel like I'd lost complete control of everything around me, and flipped out. This happened perhaps once a week for 3 or 4 weeks. If it didn't scare other it certainly scared me. I managed to cover it up, its stress, or its or that. People suggested anger management therapy, but I insisted I was fine. I somehow controlled it all. I taught my self to chill out in these situations, or where possible just avoid them. If the problem had been psychological then it was obviously easy to cure. Had it been something more it may still be around, manifesting it's self as something else. Something else that is more to the point of this post and which I'll hurry up and get to.
Perhaps a month or so of happiness followed, and then it early April I hit rock bottom. A complete state of depression. I didn't know what to do. I thought I had gotten over all of this. I couldn't understand what was happening to me. I wanted it to go away, or at the very least, I wanted to forget about it. For a short time, I felt that what I needed to do was take drugs. Not until you come into contact with a couple of people who choose this route do realise a) So many people are doing it, and b) So many people are ruining their lives. Luckily, maybe thanks to fate, or destiny, or what ever may be controlling me (because it certainly isn't me), I never did drugs. I never touched the stuff, and I kind of feel proud. However, it was at this time that one night ( Saturday April 15th), somewhat drunkenly I started to poor my heart out to a friend. I made the comparison that my mental state, the way all the troubles in my life balanced out was just like… Manic Depression.
I used the term not as a diagnosis, it was just because of the way the two words contradict each other, and it's seemed like every emotion I experienced contradicted what I was supposed to be feeling. I kind of came out of this depression (not sure how) and I tell you the phase of happiness that followed is one of the longest I can remember. Maybe 3 and half months of bliss. If you ask me why, I couldn't honestly tell you but I could have a guess. When I so bluntly summed my life up, saying it was Manic Depression, it scared me. Labelling people seems so horrible. I'm not sure if it's possible to be labelled in such a way that it's a positive thing to everyone you meet. That sounds vain I know, but wars have been fought over as much.
Comes to mid August then, and I'm feeling down again. Mid summer blues? Something like that. Was getting a bit pissed of at this point. Really needed some answers. As the "storyteller" I feel that I need to explain what feeling down is to me: Feeling down is when my overall mood is that of depressed. I feel that life it's self is pointless, that really as a human race we have absolutely no purpose, and if we do, then maybe it's just me who's pointless. Feeling down is - not wanting to get out of the bed in the morning, not because I'm "tired", but because I didn't want to wake up, ever. Feeling down is then also going out and about, acting like normal, pretending everything is fine. But the strangest thing is, whether it's a result of the condition, or due to what I'm doing to myself by pretending I'm fine, often I will find that I am fine, more than fine. Absolutely forgetting that there's anything wrong with me. Hyperactive seems derogatory, but that's how I'd describe it. People honestly thought I was on drugs. The fact that when I got like this my pupils dilated quite severely heightened there beliefs. I swear that I still hadn't taken drugs, even to this day. I don't know why my pupils dilate like that, be it another result of the condition, or just something completely unrelated. However, as quickly as this hyperactive state will come the next I'll be totally closed up and having problems with self confidence that were destroying friendships, which in turn damaged my self confidence… a never ending loop.
This up and down pattern continued for a while. Then I saw advertised on TV a documentary on Bipolar. Not only was interested in the topic for obvious personal reasons – that of needing to get some answers – I'm also a huge fan of Fry and so this was a must watch. So on Tuesday 19th September 2006 (and the subsequent Tuesday, the 26th) I sat, I watched, and I (could have) screamed. Finally, this looked like sense, the people in the documentary, what they experienced, was so similar to what I experienced, it was like it was all just magically answered. Bipolar Disorder, Manic Depression, what ever you want to cool it, this was what was wrong with me. But you see nothings ever so simple. Although I then continued extensive research into Bipolar, I think I was in denial, I was lying to myself, I was interested in it, I wanted to prove or disprove that this was my problem, but all the time I'd never admit it. I was scared. Scared that if I was to seek diagnosis, and a doctor was to tell me that it's not bipolar, that I'm back to square one. And scared that if I have bipolar, I'm on medication for life, I'm being labeled all the time by everyone, and how does this affect my job prospects. I was panicking, and although I thought I was coping, on 25th October (Wednesday the) I had a complete breakdown. I pushed away most of my friends, I didn't want any one, I tried to disengage myself from the world as much as possible. The pills where there, just a reach away, but it was thanks to such a special friend, that I am now telling this. She managed to pull me through, make me realise how selfish I was being, how stupid I was being. I came out of this extreme low and was almost neutral for a while, a couple of slight upsets but to be honest loads of (supposedly) manic highs. And then December 13th (Wednesday,) something happened and I was in a down for the rest of December and most of January. That was when I had to find a new method. I pretended out right that there was nothing wrong with me. I was fine, it's all psychological. This worked I suppose, for 3 or 4 weeks. Until we're in the present. And I see this message board full of people talking about bipolar. It's a wake up call. There are people out there that can help me, advise me, without making it so scary. I owe it to the friends that have tried to help me thus far.
And so, that's it. That's what I had to write. It's there now, for people to analyse.
I do need your help. Anyone here who has been kind enough to read all this, could you please just tell me your opinion:
Do you think I have bipolar, I know it's impossible for someone to just diagnose it like that, but does this sound like a reasonable explanation?
Is it advisable to come to terms with it sooner rather than later?
Are things like medication easy to get used to?
How much would this change my life making it official, I know it would certainly make me feel much better about things, but is there any negatives?
Any other information would be appreciated.
If anyone can give any help on all this then I would be eternally grateful.
18 months it's taken me to start piecing it together; let's just hope it doesn't all end in pieces.

What makes a community a desirable place to live? What draws people to stake their future in it? Are communities with more attached residents better off?
Gallup and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation launched the Knight Soul of the Community project in 2008 with these questions in mind. After interviewing close to 43,000 people in 26 communities over three years, the study has found that three main qualities attach people to place: social offerings, such as entertainment venues and places to meet, openness (how welcoming a place is) and the area's aesthetics (its physical beauty and green spaces).
We've seen now why attachment is an important metric for communities, since it links to key outcomes like local economic growth (GDP). So, the next obvious question is: what drives attachment? After three years of research, the results have been very consistent, and possibly surprising.
First, what attaches residents to their communities doesn't change much from place to place. While we might expect that the drivers of attachment would be different in Miami, Fla., from those in Macon, Ga., in fact, the main drivers of attachment show little difference across communities. In addition, the same drivers have risen to the top in every year of the study.
Second, these main drivers may be surprising. While the economy is obviously the subject of much attention, the study has found that perceptions of the local economy do not have a very strong relationship to resident attachment. Instead, attachment is most closely related to how accepting a community is of diversity, its wealth of social offerings, and its aesthetics. This is not to say that jobs and housing aren't important. Residents must be able to meet their basic needs in a community in order to stay. However, when it comes to forming an emotional connection with the community, there are other community factors which often are not considered when thinking about economic development. These community factors seem to matter more when it comes to attaching residents to their community.
And finally, while we do see differences in attachment among different demographic groups, demographics generally are not the strongest drivers of attachment. In almost every community, we found that a resident's perceptions of the community are more strongly linked to their level of community attachment than to that person's age, ethnicity, work status, etc.
From Akron WKSU-FM Public Radio News, Nov. 16, 2010:
A new study of Akron and 25 other cities shows what people are passionate about in their communities. The three-year "Soul of Community" study focused on places where John S. and James L. Knight were passionate about their newspapers. The Gallup and Knight Foundation concluded people in Akron are passionate about openness and beauty and social life more than leadership and safety. Gallup researcher Katherine Laughlin says the survey offers new approaches for communities to organize themselves for economic growth. Laughlin says Akron residents feel that the city needs to improve its social offerings and job seeking college graduates are perceived to be the least welcome group.
From MinnPost.com, Nov. 16, 2010:
We feel the love for our towns — both here and around the country — because of softer issues, such as social offerings, openness to diverse groups, and the beauty of where we live. And when people care strongly about where they live, indications are that economic growth improves.
From EducationWeek, Nov. 16, 2010:
Americans like where they live for a number of reasons, including their local schools, even though this doesn't necessarily translate into either high regard for the schools or a proclivity to become involved in public education.
"Education tends to be one of the highest rated attachment drivers," according to the report. Social and cultural offerings, "openness" to people of all ages and backgrounds, and aesthetics were the other major reasons why people like where they live. Yet, just 22 percent gave high marks to the quality of local public schools. (The study did not disaggregate findings by whether or not one had children in school.)
The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Nov. 16, 2010:
Did the Twin Cities get more beautiful in the past couple of years?
That's what you might conclude from the results of a three-year survey of Twin Cities residents as part of a study funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation on what makes people love and feel passionate about their hometowns.
From The Charlotte Observer, Nov. 16, 2010:
One sign that a community's economy is poised to grow: how much its residents love living there, according to the results of a new study.
Emotional attachment to the Charlotte area has held steady for the last three years and remains above the national average, despite the recession, a three-year Gallup poll of residents in Charlotte and 25 other U.S. cities found.
From LuAnn Farrar's Kentucky News Review, Nov. 16, 2010:
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has released its study results from "Soul of the Community." The organization's research included Lexington. According to a the foundation, the intention of the study is to identify "factors that emotionally attach residents to where they live. Some of these community characteristics that drive attachment were rated highly by residents, and are therefore community strengths while others were rated lower, making them opportunities for improvement.
From Philadelphia Weekly, Nov. 16, 2010:
OK, we don't want you to start your Tuesday off too sad: If you're in Philly too long, this city will eat you alive – nah, just kidding, sorta. It'll actually help you grow an "emotional bond" which will keep you here, forevermore. And that emotional bond, according to a new study conducted by Gallup and paid for by the Knight Foundation, found that social offerings, openness and beauty were more important to Philadelphians than, say, safety and perceptions about the economy. Therefore – keeping up? – the vague ideas of "social offerings" and "beauty" of the city are the only things that keep the slow, steady economic machine moving at all! [Philadelphia Business Journal]
From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Nov. 15, 2010:
St. Paul residents are more attached to their city than folks in many other cities and that could mean good things for the local economy, according to a study released Monday.
The Soul of the Community report by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, based on three years of data, looked at 25 other cities to gauge people's passion for where they live.
From the San Jose Business Journal, Nov. 15:
A three-year study found that social offerings, openness and beauty are far more important to San Jose residents than their perceptions of the economy, jobs or basic services, according to a report Monday from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.San Jose residents feel that the city needs to improve its social offerings such as community events, entertainment venues, and arts and culture opportunities.Immigrants and job-seeking college graduates were perceived to be significantly less welcome in San Jose than in 2009.
From The Christian Science Monitor:
If you sometimes stop and wonder why you donate to your local school's annual fundraiser, help plant trees on your town's main drag or offer free hot cocoa at every street fair, the answer is because you're either very generous or you know what's good for your local economy.
Great schools, affordable health care and safe streets all help create strong communities. But is there something deeper that draws people to a city – that makes them want to put down roots and build a life?

Found December 01, 2012 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Jon Niese
TEAMS: New York Mets
TEAMS: New York Mets
Last winter, New York Mets starter Jon Niese underwent surgery to correct his deviated septum, in hopes his breathing easier would help improve his game stamina. This winter the doctors will be tuning up his heart. Niese was forced to leave two starts early during the 2012 campaign, suffering in each instance from a rapid heartbeat. Diagnosed as an arrhythmia, the lefty from Lima, Ohio will undergo a procedure known as ablation this month, according to ESPN.com. The surgery is considered minor, and is not expected to impact his winter preparation, nor delay his readiness for spring training. The surgery, as described by the Mayo Clinic website, is done by using catheters, long flexible tubes, which are inserted into an artery in the groin and threaded to the heart. Tissue in the heart is then destroyed, thus allowing the scar tissue to block the electrical signal that is setting off the irregular heartbeat. By using the less invasive catheters, rather than open-heart surgery, recovery time is greatly reduced. Niese compiled a 13-9 record for the fourth-place Mets in 2012, hurling a career high 190 innings. He claimed that after his rhinoplasty ("nose-job") last off-season, suggested by and paid for by ex-teammate Carlos Beltran, his breathing improved to the point that his running and work-outs were enhanced as well. His pitching performance suggests there may have been more than cosmetic benefits, as Jonathans' ERA dropped a full run per 9 innings from 2011 while he put together his first winning season. With Johan Santana again hoping to return from downtime (though no surgery this winter), and R.A. Dickey still being shopped around, the Mets are counting on Niese to be a mainstay of the 2013 rotation.

While I loved Southland Tales for it's sheer WTF'iness this looks like a more mature(and HOPEFULLY) more well thought out version of that. I don't even care if this falls short because it simply looks SO ambitious.
awwwww HELL, it's got David Keith or Keith David in it too. Can I see this now please?

I laughed.
I nearly fell off my chair laughing at that scene. This very dramatic moment and then … UNINTENTIONAL HILARITY!
I heard the guard on Downton Abbey say "no touching" and I almost died. I knew someone had to have made this connection...
YES! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that! I know the scene was so dramatic and all, but I couldn't help but...
Please tell me everyone else watching Downton immediately thought of this.
yep. just got to this part and laughed hysterically. knew this must have been how this blog got started.
I refuse to believe this wasn't a deliberate reference.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of this.

Amino acids are critical for life and health. They make up proteins found in every tissue of the body and play a major role in nearly every body process.
Amino Support is a complete amino acid product manufactured using free-form amino acids. These free-form amino acids are synthesized' not derived from animal or protein sources. This product is specially formulated for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities. It is hypoallergenic and' therefore' contains no flavoring.
Amino Support was formulated by Jon Pangborn' Ph.D.' using a weighted average of human laboratory results based on human needs for amino acids as published by the U.S. Research Council (Recommended Dietary Allowances' 10th ed' National Academy Press' 1989).
Our intestinal tract is a tunnel through the body in which food is digested and to which the liver adds wastes. In the lower part of the intestinal tract' a vast population of microorganisms works to further process these wastes' sometimes into useful things like vitamins. Meanwhile' in the upper part of this tunnel' foods are being broken down into basic components. Only the basic components are allowed to pass through the tunnel wall into our bodies. The mucosal tissue that lines the intestinal tunnel controls this passage as long as it remains healthy.
One of the digestive processes that begin in the stomach is digestion of food protein. In the stomach' proteins are broken into fragments called peptides - - chains of amino acids from two to perhaps a hundred or more amino acids. These dietary peptides are then further digested in the small intestine to form individual amino acids.
An amino acid is one of those basic food components that the intestinal mucosa welcomes into the body (proteins and most peptides are not supposed to be allowed in). The objective of protein digestion is to break down giant' complex chains of amino acids into individual' free form amino acids. Inside the body' organs and tissues reassemble these amino acids into body proteins. Muscles' skin' hair' bone' the heart and other organs contain protein that is needed for structure and function. Besides being used for building materials' amino acids form components of the immune system' act as hormones (often when bound together as human peptides)' operate tissue cleanup systems (detoxification) and form enzymes that are catalysts for operating the body's biochemistry.
Components of Kirkman's Amino Support hypoallergenic capsules are as follows:
Taurine: Helps form bile' spares magnesium in cells and in the body' helps support glutamate/GABA neurotransmitter activity and neutralizes the oxidant called "hypochlorite." Taurine is present in human milk but not in cows' milk.
L-Lysine: A nutritionally essential amino acid that is the anchor for vitamin B-6 in enzymes that process the amino or nitrogen part of amino acids. Lysine is present in meat' fish and poultry protein.
L-Leucine' Isoleucine' and Valine: Essential "branched chain" amino acids that are important for formation of flexible' structural tissue such as skin. All protein foods contain these amino acids.
L-Methionine: The essential precursor of cysteine' taurine and S-adenosylmethionine' "SAMe." This amino acid accounts for most of the body's "methylation." It provides sulfur that may eventually be used for sulfation' but it needs vitamins B-6' B-12 and folate to be properly utilized. Organ meats' poultry' milk and beef are rich in methionine.
L-Glutamine: Nonessential' but the major nitrogen carrying amino acid in the animal kingdom. Glutamine makes vitamin B-3 work and it nourishes gut mucosal cells. All animal protein is rich in glutamine.
L-Threonine: An essential amino acid that is the precursor of glycine and serine. It is the slowest amino acid to cross the intestinal mucosa and is typically low in malabsorption. Threonine is one of only a few amino acids that allow sugars to bond to proteins or peptides' examples of which are immunoglobulins' interferon and cell-to-cell recognition molecules. Threonine is found in the same foods as lysine.
L-Phenylalanine: Another essential amino acid' and the precursor to tyrosine which forms adrenal hormones called catecholamines.
L-Tyrosine: Nonessential (comes from phenylalanine and directly from dietary protein). Tyrosine becomes "dopa'" dopamine' noradrenalin' part of thyroglobulin (the part that attaches iodine)' and it helps form melanin' a pigment or coloring substance in body tissues. Dairy products' fish and soy contain lots of phenylalanine and tyrosine.
L-Arginine: Sometimes essential in infants and young children and "semi-essential" throughout life. Our bodies make some but not enough. Diet provides the rest. Arginine helps support immune function' helps form creatine (for muscle metabolism) and forms urea. Seeds' nuts' buckwheat' lamb' beef and soy are rich in arginine.
L-Asparagine: Nonessential' but the major nitrogen-carrying amino acid in the plant kingdom. Often a limiting amino acid for leukocyte and lymphocyte growth. Asparagine' like threonine' allows sugars to bond to proteins forming structures required for immune response and regulation.
L-Proline: Not essential' but very necessary for formation of connective tissues' such as ligaments' skin' and the intestinal mucosa. Wheat germ' barley' soy' dairy and fish are rich in proline.
Alpha Ketoglutaric Acid (A-KG): Not an amino acid but an organic acid' "A-KG" balances nitrogen levels in body tissues. A-KG is necessary for cellular energy processes.
Most individuals tolerate amino acid supplements very well and they can derive remarkable benefits. Amino acids help support immune function' build enzymes' support the body's cleanup processes and allow tissue growth.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 199 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by sbeadles Love this Jacket I purchased this jacket because I have good experience with the North Face Products I've had in the past but the deciding factor for me was the High Visibility color. I wanted / needed the jacket for riding my motorcycle in light rain and wanted to be as visible and safe as possible in those rainy, misty situations. Just came back from a 7 day trip on my bike and had several occasions to use the jacket and it performed better than expected. I tucked the hood into the back collar and zipped it up and no problems with the rain getting in. Also, the adjustable cuffs on the sleeves allowed me to have air flow into the jacket to keep me cool when it wasn't raining. Overall, I love the jacket, fit & quality are up to North Face standards and the price was reasonable. Glad Dicks offers quality products like this to choose from. :-) September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chaz K Wanted a Waterproof(rain) outer garment I bought this jacket only a couple of weeks ago. Am looking forward to the first time I will need to use it. I made the purchase based on the reputation of the product maker and having several acquaintances who own North Face clothing. September 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by TravelingGrammy Returned this product At first I really liked the Stinson jacket, but after researching, I found that North Face had a similar jacket for just a few more dollars that could be packed in its own pocket, had a better hood adjustment and had underarm zips. Because of those 3 important features, I returned the Stinson North Face jacket and bought the Venture Jacket directly from a NorthFace Store. September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Steve Nice Jacket Nice lightweight jacket. Water proof and warm enough for a cool rainy day. August 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Starshiptrooper This Jacket met my requirements I was looking for a high quality jacket for cooler weather. It has been generally warm, but I did get to use it a few early mornings that were cool. The jacket has shown itself to be comfortable, so far. I have not encountered any precipitation conditions yet, so I cannot comment how it works under those conditions. August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by nyyankee2u2 Love this jacket! First time I bought North Face and I really am liking it. Only one problem i've noticed is one of the side pockets didn't get sewn into the seam and each time I pull my hand out of the pocket I have to watch so that the pocket don't come out. But with a needle and thread I can tack it in, no big deal. It is exactly the kind of jacket I was looking for. August 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by SW Nice North Face Rain Jacket Had to return as the men's Small was too big for a 5'9" slim build female. Sleeves too long, too big through the body. An average size male would be OK if he has long arms or will wear something under it. Wuality was good. Men's colors are nice. Womens are mostly fluorescent colors. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by thezenmoose Always quality with North Face Quality with TNF. If I had a issue the XL fits more more like XXL but the L doesn't fit like XL. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by salmon Bought for trip to Alaska. Looked around for this color, hard to find! Needed a rain jacket for a summer trip to Alaska, as I was told it could rain every day possibly, that's how their summer weather is. I wasn't disappointed in this jacket. The front pocket was a selling point, as many other jackets did not have one. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Phoenix All of the features a young man could possibly want Last year I purchased this rain jacket in a boys' size for my grandson, and he absolutely LOVED it. He got it out during this latest rainy spell, and found that it was 4" short in the sleeves and up to his waist. Devastated! Since I had bought it from Dick's online, I immediately went back to your site, had him pick out a color he liked, and it arrived promptly in time for his birthday. He is thrilled with it!

A Sisal Hat for Summer
I recently picked up what I think might be the perfect summer hat: a sisal Lock & Co with a slightly shorter 6.5m brim, low fitting crown, and a dark navy band. Sisal is a type of fiber drawn from the agave plant, which is indigenous to North and Central America, but mostly grown today in Brazil, Mexico, and parts of East Africa. It's a rather strong fiber, which is why it's been traditionally used to make rope, twine, and sacks for agricultural purposes.
Lock & Co's sisal hat is a few shades lighter than peanut butter and woven with a slightly looser weave. I find the combination gives the piece a more causal feel than your traditional cream-colored straw Panama. A welcomed thing when hats are so uncommon for men nowadays.
Pictured here are photos of Mark Cho in the same piece, which he wore at the last Pitti Uomo tradeshow. I admit these are the same photos that inspired my purchase. When the hat came to me last week, the brim was slightly turned up, but I found it could be easily reshaped by gently wetting the material and reforming it with my hands. And unlike my Panama, this fiber seems to have a bit more memory, so you can reshape it once and never need to worry about it again.
For those interested in one, I recommend contacting The Armoury. The model name is Napoli and the price is 2400 HKD (about $300 USD). Not a cheap purchase, to be sure, but if I could only have one summer hat, this would be it.

Definición de gular en inglés:
gularSaltos de línea: gular
Pronunciación: /ˈɡjuːlə /
Relating to or situated on the throat of an animal, especially a reptile, fish, or bird.
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Such a mechanism would have been analogous to expansion of the buccal and gular cavities of fishes and many tetrapods by the hyobranchial muscles acting on the hyoid arches.
- First each lizard ran normally; then a plastic tube was inserted into the mouth to keep the animal's mouth open and prevent gular pumping.
- By way of analogy, pelecaniforms also use large gular pouches for feeding young and in cooling behaviors, both entirely plausible behaviors for pareiasaurs.
sustantivoVolver al principio
A plate or scale on the throat of a reptile or fish.
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- As we discussed in connection with the gulars, the opercular series seems to have developed from serial repetition of a simple overlapping laminar series of scales, as exemplified in some Acanthodii.
- Long remarks that Onychodus is primitive because, among other things, it has submandibular plates rather than branchiostegal rays, although it does possess gulars of a sort.
- The median gular plate is large, extending the length of the orbit; it is ovoid and bears the usual two small pit lines fused into a V. Behind it, the paired lateral gulars are slightly wider than the first branchiostegal rays.
early 19th century: from Latin gula 'throat' + -ar1.

WASHINGTON — The World Health Organization (WHO) will continue to monitor the H1N1 influenza (swine flu) pandemic, according to a press release.
"There is no EC (emergency committee) this week. We are still monitoring and seeing how the virus behaves in the rest of the southern hemisphere winter," said Gregory Hartl of the WHO.
"We''re still in phase 6, it is still a pandemic," added Hartl, referencing the organization''s six-phase scale in which the sixth phase is used to declare a full influenza pandemic.
The organization''s most recent weekly update, released on July 16, stated: "Worldwide, overall pandemic influenza activity remains low. The most active areas of pandemic influenza virus transmission currently are in parts of South Asia, West Africa and Central America …"
"Overall, in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere (North America and Europe), pandemic and seasonal influenza viruses have been detected only sporadically or at very low levels during the past month," the update added.

New Life Daily Devotion - Apr. 19, 2010
Removing Hate
Jonah 1
We were entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character.
When people have hurt us deeply it is easy to hate and wish for vengeance. But holding tightly to these feelings can easily become a defect of character. The bitterness threatens our recovery because it causes us to blame others for our problems. It may scare us to think of forgiving those who have hurt us. We may be afraid that releasing our hatred will require us to condone the bad things people have done to us.
Jonah felt this way, too. He hated the people of Nineveh for their cruelty toward Israel. God told Jonah to go and warn them of the destruction planned for them. Instead, he tried to run away by boarding a ship going the opposite direction. The Lord caused a life-threatening storm, and Jonah ended up in the belly of a great fish. Suddenly, the Lord had Jonah's attention and Jonah reluctantly obeyed. Jonah preached to the people of Nineveh, they changed their ways, and God put off his planned destruction. Jonah complained, "Didn't I say before I left home that you would do this, LORD? . . . I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people" (Jonah 4:2).
We won't be able to remove our bitterness alone. And it will never be easy to accept that God wants to rescue even the people we hate. We'll need to allow God to change our hearts as we work toward forgiving those who have hurt us. This will take time. God only asks that we be willing to let him begin the work.
We can only become bitter after we've forgotten how much God has forgiven us.
