Desire by Anna Clark
Book Description'...the rich range of historical information that Clark weaves into her chapters...makes this ambitious overview of sex in Europe a highly accessible and successful endeavour.' - Times Higher Education Supplement 'Provides a valuable overview of the history of sexuality in Europe since classical antiquity, synthesising as it does a mass of studies of specific regions and periods which have appeared during the last two decades.' Lesley Hall, Wellcome Library, UK Desire: A History of European Sexuality is a sweeping survey of sexuality in Europe from the Greeks to the present day. It traces two concepts of sexual desire that have competed in European history: desire as dangerous, polluting, and disorderly; and desire as creative, transcendent, even revolutionary. This book follows these changing attitudes toward sexuality through the major turning points of European history. Written in a lively and engaging style, the book contains many fascinating anecdotes drawing on a rich array of sources including poetry, novels, pornography and film as well as court records, autobiographies and personal letters. While Anna Clark builds on the work of dozens of historians, she also takes a fresh approach and introduces the concepts of twilight moments and sexual economies. Desire integrates the history of heterosexuality with same-sex desire, and focuses on the emotions of love as well as the passions of lust, the politics of sex as well as the personal experiences.

Bold Hawk Edges Out Twilight Meteor in 43rd Hawthorne Derby
Stickney, IL – Bold Hawk, a well-bred gelded son of the great race mare Tribulation, got a nice ground-saving trip under veteran jockey Jean Luc Samyn, split horses in mid-stretch and just prevailed over a game Twilight Meteor in the 43rd running of the Grade III Hawthorne Derby at Hawthorne Race Course.
The mile and one eighth race for three year olds, run on the turf course, offered a guaranteed purse of $250,000.
The pace was quick as the 11-horse field made its way to the quarter in 22.41. Voy Por Uno Mas led the way as they reached the half in 46.44. As the sophomores made their way around the far turn, Twilight Meteor, Summer Doldrums and the eventual winner, all seemed to be getting perfect setups, but Twilight Meteor might have hesitated just a split second under jockey Chris DeCarlo, while Bold Hawk found a seam between horses.
The two battled right down to the wire with Bold Hawk just getting a head up, stopping the clock in 1:47.55. It was only the third lifetime win for the James Toner trained Bold Hawk and pushed his earnings to $213,376.
It was 1 ¾ lengths back to the third place finisher Western Prize. Voy Por Uno Mas held well for fourth, while the second wagering choice Summer Doldroms made a bold move at the top of the stretch, but flattened out late to be a disappointing sixth.
Third place finisher Western Prize broke down past the wire and was euthanized.
Bold Hawk returned $10.00 $4.80 and $3.40. Twilight Meteor paid $3.20 and $2.80. Western Prize returned $8.00 to show.
Quotes from the Hawthorne Derby:
Samyn attributed some early planning as a valid reason for Bold Hawk's success: "I walked the course this morning and I knew what spot I wanted to be in. I knew that the inside appeared to be the best place," the New York-based jockey offered. "Plus I didn't want to move too early so he would get the lead and loaf around."
DeCarlo had this to say about his colt's second place finish: "They split, but once I got in there they came together. I had to, not steady him, but it slowed his momentum down. The winner had a clear trip. He was laboring a little bit down the lane. He struggled a little with the going."
Samyn on what this race meant to him: "Today was the day the Queen Elizabeth was run. I won the Queen Elizabeth with Tribulation so that makes this win with her son, even more special."
Samyn on the possible return of Bold Hawk as a four year old: "He should definitely be back as a four year old. He's a gelding. Just look at him; he's a big horse, really immature. He sure looks like he has only one way to go . . . up!"

The Supreme Court's 1968 decision in Pickering v. Board of Education allows governmental employers, including law enforcement agencies, to fire or discipline employees for disrupting operations with excessive complaining, but it prohibits governmental employers from firing or disciplining an employee for speaking out on matters of public concern as a private citizen if the employee's interest in speaking outweighs the agency's interest in maintaining efficiency. While the line between disruptively complaining and responsibly speaking out may be clear enough in theory, however, it is often difficult to draw in practice, particularly when the employees in question work in law enforcement. The most recent case to dive into this thicket is Graziosi v. City of Greenville, from the Northern District of Mississippi.
We previously discussed the First Amendment rights of law enforcement personnel in connection with the Eleventh Circuit case Gresham v. City of Atlanta. In Gresham, the plaintiff was passed over for a promotion after making a Facebook post critical of what she saw as obstruction of justice by a fellow officer. The court held that the plaintiff had spoken on a matter of public concern, but that her interest in speaking did not outweigh the government's interest in promoting efficiency. The key point was that the plaintiff had configured her Facebook post to be viewable only by her friends, which indicated that her post was not "calculated to bring an issue of public concern to the attention of persons with authority to make corrections . . . the context was more nearly one of Plaintiff's venting her frustration with her superiors."
The decision in Graziosi deals with the same elusive line between mere complaining on the one hand, and alerting the public to important information about the operations of government agencies on the other. A member of the Greenville Police Department, Sergeant Graziosi, made a series of public Facebook posts criticizing the chief of police for failing to send a representative to the funeral of a fellow officer. Graziosi posted these complaints first as her own Facebook status update, and then posted them on the campaign page of the local mayor. The chief of police fired Graziosi for making the posts, which the chief of police contended violated several internal police department policies that forbid public criticism and excessive complaining by officers. Graziosi filed a lawsuit alleging that her termination violated the First Amendment.
One pivotal issue in the case was whether the criticisms Graziosi posted on Facebook qualified as speaking out on a matter of public concern as a private citizen. Graziosi argued that a decision about whether or not to send police officers to a funeral is inherently a matter of public concern because it involves the spending of public funds. However, the court noted that if anything that involved spending funds was a matter of public concern, then "almost anything" would satisfy that requirement of the Pickering test. Instead, the court looked to the primary motivation for speaking. The court determined that "Graziosi's comments to the Mayor, although on a sensitive subject, were more related to her own frustration of Chief Cannon's decision not to send officers to the funeral and were not made to expose unlawful conduct within the Greenville Police Department. Her posts were not intended to help the public actually evaluate the performance of the GPD." The court found that Graziosi was speaking out about a matter that was primarily internal to the police department, and hence, she was speaking not as a citizen, but as an employee, and not on a matter of public concern, but on a matter of personal concern. Therefore, her comments did not pass the threshold requirement of the Pickering test.
This decision is similar to the decision in Gresham, but differs in important ways. In both cases, the complaints that a law enforcement officer posted on Facebook were denied First Amendment protection because those complaints were more fairly described as venting frustrations than as attempts to get important information to the public. In both cases, the court found that although the topic of the speech was of at least some concern to the public, the speaker was primarily motivated by a desire to vent frustration. In Gresham, the court made this determination by considering the audience that the plaintiff spoke to; in Graziosi, the court made this determination by considering what the plaintiff spoke about. However, the courts applied the determination that the speaker was motivated primarily by a desire to vent at different steps in the analysis. In Gresham, the court found that the plaintiff's interest in complaining was less weighty than the interest of the police department in preserving efficiency. However, in Graziosi, the court found that the plaintiff's primary purpose of venting personal grievances defeated her claim before the weighing stage was even reached. Because the plaintiff's intent was primarily to vent frustration, she was not speaking as a private citizen or speaking on a matter of public concern, and hence would not have been eligible for First Amendment protection even if her interest had outweighed the interest of the police department.
Viewed in the light of recent high profile situations involving governmental employees speaking out about matters of public concern contrary to applicable governmental policies, such as the leaks by Edward Snowden and Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning, clarifying the rules in this area is more important than ever. And the fact that so much of the relevant communication now takes place in the diverse and always-changing world of social media only increases the complexity of the issues. As a result, we can expect that the courts will continue to develop the law in this area for many years, but the outline of how the First Amendment applies to governmental employees using social media is at least beginning to take shape.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the United States and has no proven therapy. Critical to the development of an effective treatment for this disease is an understanding of how a benign fatty liver progresses to hepatocellular injury and inflammation or steatohepatitis that leads to chronic liver disease. The objective of this proposal is to delineate mechanisms by which the lysosomal degradative pathway of autophagy plays a central role in preventing the development of steatohepatitis. Our previous investigations identified a novel function for autophagy in the regulation of cellular lipid metabolism and steatosis. Autophagy mediates the lipolytic breakdown of stored lipids into free fatty acids (FFAs) and maintains levels of mitochondrial ?-oxidation, suggesting a central role for autophagy in cellular pathways regulated by lipid metabolism. Preliminary findings demonstrate that autophagy mediates hepatocyte resistance to toxicity from saturated FFAs. In addition we have identified a function for autophagy in down regulating the proinflammatory activation and polarization of macrophages by inflammatory mediators including FFAs. These findings indicate that autophagy functions to regulate both cellular death pathways and innate immunity in response to elevated FFAs which are central to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Based on these and other preliminary studies, our central hypothesis is that the effects of autophagy on hepatocyte and macrophage lipid metabolism are critical to prevent the development of liver injury and inflammation in hepatic steatosis. We will test this hypothesis by delineating the mechanisms by which autophagy-mediated effects on lipid breakdown regulate hepatocyte injury and death and macrophage activation in studies contained in three Specific Aims. First, we will test the hypothesis that autophagy prevents hepatocyte organelle damage and cell death by promoting the metabolism of saturated FFAs. Second, we will test the hypothesis that autophagy down regulates the innate immune response through effects on lipid metabolism that block proinflammatory macrophage activation and polarization. Third, we will test the hypothesis that decreased autophagy in hepatocytes and macrophages in vivo promotes the development of liver injury and inflammation in the setting of hepatic steatosis. The objective of these studies is to delineate novel paradigms by which the effects of autophagy on lipid metabolism function to block hepatocyte death and development of a proinflammatory state. The findings will indicate that defects in autophagy that occur with obesity and aging may contribute to the development of steatohepatitis. The ultimate goal of these investigations is to better understand the basic cellular mechanisms underlying the development of steatohepatitis in order to design new strategies to prevent and treat human NAFLD.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease in the United States and a leading cause of chronic liver disease. The pathophysiology of this disease is unclear and as a result it has no established treatment. It is the objective of this proposal to understand the mechanisms by which liver injury occurs in the setting of a fatty liver to spur new approaches for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.

I'm asking on behalf of my parents who are very active and well-traveled seniors. Their preferred routing would be from Georgetown, Guyana to Paramaribo, Suriname. Thank you.

15 Ways to Turn Leftovers into Quesadillas
There are some dishes that are absolutely perfect vehicles for leftovers. Quesadillas are a great example, because so long as you can get the tortillas to stick to the stuffing, you can pretty much fill it with any leftovers, including:
1. Roast beef and blue cheese dressing
2. Salmon drizzled with teriyaki sauce
3. Tuna and Swiss cheese
4. Sliced sausage and provolone cheese
5. Scrambled, spiced tofu and potatoes
6. Chicken pulled off the bone, with sprouts, guacamole, and cheddar cheese
7. Smoked salmon and cream cheese
8. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheddar cheese
9. Mashed black beans, guacamole, and cheddar cheese
10. Jack cheese with bacon and salsa
11. Ham, eggs, and Swiss cheese
12. Goat cheese and roasted red peppers
13. Turkey with stuffing and Swiss cheese
14. Salami, eggs, and chopped scallions with cheddar cheese
15. Hummus, grilled vegetables, and Monterey Jack cheese
Thanks! You're on our list.

Skip to comments.Doctor Claims Everything You've Heard About Cholesterol and Heart Disease is Wrong
Posted on 03/08/2012 7:35:50 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather
RUSH: Now, this health story. The website's called Signs of the Times, and the story here is by Dr. Dwight Lundell. "Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease." The upshot of it is that everything that we think we're doing to promote cardiovascular health is actually contributing to cardiovascular problems. This story prints out six pages. The doctor wrote it. So many times I have mentioned over the years about diet, health, food, how we are being manipulated by government goals, wrong medical ideas. Food activists with a logo and a fax machine putting out bogus information to the media, and they just run with it. As long as it contains "government has to step in to save us," then they'll be happy to promote whatever the lying data is.
So what we have here is a heart surgeon who is saying that he and his profession have been wrong for decades. This experiment with statins and low-fat diets has not worked. He says it's time to move on to another way. I'll give you some pull quotes before getting to the story. "Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before."
Another pull quote. "I saw it in over 5,000 surgical patients spanning 25 years who all shared one common denominator -- inflammation in their arteries." Not blockage, inflammation.

Your share of what. Of hysterical knee jerking?
There might be valid farming reasons to avoid growing Frankencorn, such as the ease of contaminating the genetic stock of normal corn which is then brought under the patent jackboot (a lose-lose), but you cannot produce evidence that the Franken in the corn gets you more than a hardier plant, and certainly not a modified oil content. And even the Frankenfood has to be compared with not being able to get any food because the normal corn was not productive enough.
Wow, maybe Linbaugh is waking up!
Its getting to the point that close to half of the people are aware that "mainstream medicine" is a death caucus.
Nanny State PING!
that crazy breatharian housewife would literally cry when stomach pains forced her to eat...she thought it was because she was sinful or not meditating right, etc...she was big boned and didn't look anorexic at a distance, but close-up her skin was just hanging on her and she looked 35 going on 65
i have never met a vegan or strict vegetarian who was the picture of health...ever...and their attitudes and demeanor were far from high-minded and holy in the ones i met
i kind of liked the fruitarian idea on paper, maybe i just liked fruit...but after 48hrs i'd had enough...i met the most gorgeous girl who wanted me to come with her to Antelope OR and live with the Bagwan...but to get the girl she wanted me to follow a macrobiotic diet...which according to her was brown rice every day and maybe bean sprouts for christmas if you were good...
well, after about two days of brown rice, she was hot, but not THAT hot...i stepped out on her to have an intimate rendevous with a sizzling med rare porterhouse, a beer and a bottle of A-1...even my left ventricle was saying "thank you Jesus he's come back to his senses"...lol...the things we do for love!
A lot of the global warming stuff is peer-reviewed, too, but that doesn't mean we dismiss S. Fred Singer as a crackpot.
>> "Maybe it makes more health sense to use corn or soy oils for that big turkey frying project" <<
Corn and soy are some of the worst oils, along with safflower, and canola. The best deep frying oil remains lard. If it were not for the expense, the best choice would be frying at a lower temp and using virgin coconut oil, but it is expensive. It does leave a great flavor on the bird.

People like you are far more dangerous. You have no credentials, you make no citations, you reference no conditional results. You make casual blanket statements implying total knowledge of a subject you could be reading off of a cereal box in your mother's basement - except that you're obviously paid to carefully reverse the key relationship this doctor is carefully examining, and negate the very concepts he's presenting, with ZERO support for your brain farts.
And s for inflammation being well-established, is that why so many people are still dying of it? You want to cite some references to go with your one-liners?
People with genetic syndromes that lead to very high cholesterol levels have a markedly increased incidence of coronary disease, and mutations in specific cholesterol metabolism genes in mice leads to cholesterol deposits in their arteries.
So what does this bullsh!t have to do with the causitive relationship between cholesterol buildup and inflammation? How do you know those mice don't have a genetic predisposition towards inflammation that leads to the cholesterol deposits? Where the hell are your citations? Where are your conditional conclusions? Where are your conditions at all? Where is the link between mice and humans in this particualr area? You're full of it, and you know it.
The bottom line is that cholesterol levels are a significant risk factor for coronary disease, unquestionably. That doesn't mean there aren't other important risk factors. There clearly are, including high blood pressure, smoking, and genetics.
The bottim line is that you are doing everything you can to cloud the immense importance of this potential finding. And once again you simply throw out a laundry list of fators and pretend it's intelligent, when citations, causations, interations, and relative importance of factors that can be directly affected by anti-inflammatories is comletely ignored. You're pathetic.
The statins, incidentally, have been shown to decrease vascular inflammation.
Really? According to what studies? In what context? And how do you know this isn't the only reason they work at all, and that you're not confirming this doctors findings while trying to dismiss it? Or is this your verson of a limited hangout, a plausible denial where, after dissuading the readers from seriously considering these findings about the role of inflammation, you wash your hands, laugh, and say "buyer beware."
I think you attempted mass murder with your post, and probably for a shill paycheck at that.
But don't worry - there's no such thing as karma, and as for God, well, you're obviously smarter than God, and your bullshit is so good it will never be held against you. And why? Because you're a fricking genius, that's why. people just have no idea how smart you are, do they? How frustrating for you.
Nobody explains how wheat is supposed to be responsible for a situation that came upon society centuries after it began to consume wheat.
Unusual diets do have the virtue of drawing new attention to what we eat, and we often eat too much just because it's there even after we have ceased to feel hungry during the meal. If corn were the main starchy food, then dropping corn (and adopting something else like, say, wheat) would suffice equally to this end.
There may be something to the GMO hysteria. After all, wheat has been so modified and hybridized beyond what grandma used to bake her bread that it has basically become a noxious weed, even though it still tastes good.
I would not recommend deep frying in any solid fat. It drips onto the plate, solidifies, and looks weird. I know, I tried it.
>> "Lets throw out 50 years of peer-reviewed published research" <<
Just one set of liars supporting another.
A liar's peer is another liar. The results speak for themselves; polyunsaturated oils do cause type II diabetes, and probably alzheimers too.
I challenge all people making such claims to produce analyses of old food versus new or "franken" food. That's what turns the anecdote (the plural of which is not "data") into something like science.
Thanks for the ping!
i really haven't heard a convincing argument against frankenfoods, whatever genetic material in them gets broken into individual aminos, sometimes unusual amino balances will have certain effects; none life threatening...like an overdose of tryptophan at a turkey dinner makes you sleep thru the ball game, etc...
the bad effects on non-franken plants thru cross pollination i can see, but there are remedies...
what is the big danger in frankenfoods that i'm missing? all the warning literature seems high on hyperbole and short on substance...
"LOL, who was the old hippie that said eating trees would make you live forever,"
Do you mean natural foods expert Euell Gibbons?
He's dead.
Died of "Natural Causes".
In the past few decades, wheat has been hybridized and cross-bred again and again to bring out qualities such as resistance to pests. But at no time, as the wheat genome was effectively being tampered with, were new strains of modern wheat tested on animals and humans to see what the results would ultimately be, health-wise.
And this I have gotten just from reading the first part of the book. I'm about to read the second part, where all the negative health effects the author says result from modern wheat are discussed.
From what I understand, simply eating a diet rich in carbohydrates is detrimental to people, too.
None of them go through testing on animals and humans, as far as I know, so it cannot be determined either way, without extensive research, what the effects are after consumption has already begun.
Thanks for the post. Please see my post 69. We have all been had. The fingers always point back to an intrusive and incompetent Federal Government.
Anyhow, the partially hydrogenated fats, such as the old Crisco, were the form in which these polyunsaturates were mostly incorporated in the American diet. That period really cannot be counted in evaluating the effect of the polyunsaturates.
>> "Nobody explains how wheat is supposed to be responsible for a situation that came upon society centuries after it began to consume wheat." <<
That's not completely true.
We've changed the type of wheat we use, and the ways we use it. Bleached white flour is unnatural.
We've switched to using Hathi whole wheat flour, and all of the wheat issues disappeared almost instantly.
And of course publishers (book and newspaper) often have no better reason to publish what they do than that it grabs eyes with startling statements?
I'd say any diet in which you prepare your own everything that has wheat in it — even if using bad old Gold Medal bleached flour — is going to be watched more carefully than one where all has been prepared for you.
"You have no credentials"
I'm a physician. What I am saying, and I can back it up with more publications than you would have time to read, is that cholesterol deposition, and inflammation play crucial roles in the genesis and progression of coronary artery disease. Further, they are linked.
This guy is not a scientist. He's just another cardiovascular surgeon. Sewing grafts onto blood vessels doesn't make you an expert on lipids, or inflammation, or atherosclerosis. He did not discover the concept of vascular inflammation, and if you look at the biomedical literature over the past decade alone you will see a huge amount of literature on the topic of inflammation and vascular disease. It's an absolutely established concept. Not something new that this guy came up with. There is nothing Earth shattering or new about what he is saying. Patients with lupus, for example, can have very early and very severe atherosclerotic vascular disease, related in large measure to the vascular inflammation that occurs as part of that disease. Nothing new.
The irresponsible part is when he implies that cholesterol levels don't matter. There is absolutely no scientific basis for that statement, and a plethora of published data to the contrary.
I didn't attack you, and I respect your right to your opinion.
You say: "Genetically modified crops are key to feeding the world, both now and in the future. The crops can also be engineered to provide better nutrition and other health benefits. There's no need to use scare language about a technology which already makes it possible to feed millions who might otherwise starve."
The proof is in the pudding - and it's coming home to roost.There's a reason some 30 countries have banned GMO's and some are suing (France, India, Spain, for Monsanto violating the ban.)
Now, SUPER BUGS are developing that are resistant to the chemicals - rather like the super bugs that are resisting the antibiotics in medicine. (How did man ever survive for tens of thousand of years without all these chemicals?)
A lot of big money invested in forcing countries/farmers to use their patented seed. Bill Gates has 23 million invested in Monsanto. Gee, I wonder why he pushes Monsanto's GMO's?
And medically -
Monsanto chemicals increase yield? Is that their real goal - or is is "Who controls the food, controls the people"?
Once a farmer plants GMO (or the wind blows GMO pollen onto another farmer's crops) that farmer cannot save seed to plant next season - he must BUY Monsanto's seed, year after year...not a good deal for any farmer, let alone in poor countries. And his land is now toxic...
just a tiny bit of the picture
I have noticed that by adding flaxseed oil and ditching the margarine in favor of real butter has helped a lot. Not only do I feel better, but I have lost 25 lbs, taken 4 inches off my waist, have less desire to eat and my blood pressure has dropped significantly. Still have several dozen lbs to lose but it is heading in the right direction by ignoring the conventional wisdom.
Thanks for the post. You saved me a great deal of time taking his BS apart. I cover some of this in my post at 69. Thanks again. I am just so tired of the the "True Believers."
I'm not simply taking the guy's word for it. I'm going off wheat myself to see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, I'll be less 15 dollars and no other harm done.
The question that ought to be asked about the cholesterol, is whether the cholesterol is following onto damage or whether it is causing damage. You don't want to necessarily blame the trucks with the asphalt to patch road potholes for causing the road potholes, even though pothole-free roads won't have any of these trucks on them.
Testing homemade wheat products versus commercial ones should be informative.
Thanks for your post and links.
Statins are indeed truly risky. They can cause severe muscle cramps and worse...even death, if I understood the pharmacology book correctly.
Real butter just plain tastes nicer too. You find yourself needing less of it than you did of margarine.
To quote one of my M.D. colleagues,"Statins are religion among physicians."
(The old stuff is the typical "amber waves of grain" we all heard about, rather than the two-foot tall, fat-headed stuff -- the modern version of triticum aestivum -- that is typically used today.)
So I'm simply avoiding the stuff.
I still think it's the attention to the diet that makes the difference, even if the diet is made of the same wheat. Does the modern wheat have less protein and more starch than the old fashioned wheat? A certain quantity of protein is needed to make it work well in baked goods and pasta, and cooks would be complaining if the new wheat could not live up to this.
After one of my little granddaughters suffered every day for 8 years while doctors and specialists in Maine, Canada, Texas and Florida (military) couldn't pin point it - and pooh poohed my daughter for bringing in printed material from the Internet - A naturopathic doctor at a a health fair, with one drop of her blood, correctly diagnosed it as 'gluten intolerance', exactly what my daughter suspected. From that day on, she has had no pain.
In the process, our family has become 'learned' in regards to gluten. And we are healthier.
It's a growing awareness as witnessed by the 'gluten free' products now in stores.
Also, bob's Red Mill puts out many different gluten free flours. And gluten free recipes abound on the Internet.
On of Bob's Red Mill flours I haven't tried yet, but think I will, is "spelt" - which is, basically what wheat was in Biblical times.
I challenge YOU to start with watching the movie "Food inc,"
One could be suspicious, reading all your posts, that you are working for/connected to Monsanto/politicians.
Enjoy your chemical laced foods. No one's stopping you.
I don't panic over amounts of stuff that wouldn't kill a flea if all I got of it were concentrated down to flea size. You're talking about traces that need the most modern equipment to even discern are present.
It's a shame that the celiac disease (which is also often hereditary) was not spotted by a normal physician, but c'est la vie. Good luck with your gluten free diet. An estimated 0.5% of Americans need one.
"If it were not for the expense, the best choice would be frying at a lower temp and using virgin coconut oil, but it is expensive"
Coconut oil has been recommended as a preventative and partial cure for Alzheimer's. My wife and I have recently tried it, but it seems to cook differently. She says it's hard to get it hot enough to fry catfish. It's $5.95 at Wallyworld, and $5.48 at HEB for almost two pounds. It's also a great (and cheap) body lotion.
As I said, she has 'gluten intolerance." Altho' similar to celiac, it isn't celiac.
Most doctors treat it as IBS - 'spastic gut' - but far too few diagnose it correctly.
You left out canola (rapeseed) oil. It's an industrial seed oil. It's full of Omega 6 fatty acid and it is beyond unhealthy. It's also in a huge percentage of the processed foods in the grocery store.

I'd wanted to memorize it the way I did the first time I did the Bible reading at church, but the events of the week left no possibility of that. My thoughts were filled with the triumph of the Purdue event going well but also and more powerfully the tragedy of over 150 teachers in my corporation receiving notices that their jobs very well might not be theirs next year. This included at least 35 in my own school and 6 in my own department. As I stood at the front of the church, after Elias guided me flawlessly up the stairs to the altar, my fingers glided over the dots, my voice heavy with the tension and sorrow of the events at school. I have always loved the book of Isaiah, ever since several passages found their permanent way into my heart in college when my vision took a major dive. This Sunday, I let another piece of Isaiah into my heart: "My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." I paused there and pondered. I paused there and blinked away a tear of gratitude. It is wonderful that God already knows the answers to turmoil and uncertainty. It is wonderful that He has purposes that we can trust, even if we never understand them here on earth. I wonder if we'll understand in heaven, or if it just won't matter anymore. Thank goodness that His ways are not our ways: hurting each other, devaluing each other, criticizing each other, pointing fingers at each other. Thank goodness our God's ways are different than that! Also, His thoughts are different than ours. Mine right now? I'm exhausted, shaky, battered from a cruel e-mail in response to a guest column I wrote for the local paper to explain where my colleagues were in all of this strife, unsure about what next year will look like, partly guilty for being grateful my job is being spared while younger teachers with babies and little savings will likely be jobless. Those are my thoughts, but Isaiah is tapping at my heart's door again as Elias sighs and whimpers in his sleep. Isaiah reminds me whose thoughts and ways are higher: mine or the Lord's. No comparison there, so I hit "submit" and go lay myself down to rest for another day on this earth.

ON WASHINGTON; The WASP Descendancy
By Maureen Dowd
Published: October 31, 1993
I never thought I'd be having tea with someone who had tea with Edith Wharton. But to spend an afternoon with Susan Mary Alsop in her Georgetown drawing room is to realize that our country is not so old, after all, that its history can be spanned in a single afternoon. Many people come to Washington to make history, but few know it as personally as Mrs. Alsop does.
In 1934, when she was 16, Susan Mary Jay was taken by her Great-Aunt Harriet to tea with Wharton at her country house outside Paris. The young girl hoped the famous expatriate would talk about Marcel Proust and Aldous Huxley. But the writer, a plump, elderly woman in a shapeless suit wound about with scarves, was less like the enchanting Ellen Olenska than the tiresome Lawrence Lefferts.
She wanted to hear the latest dish from New York -- about old Harry, who'd lost a packet on the stock market, about friends whose daughter had divorced, about the disagreeable news that the Vanderbilt house on Fifth Avenue had been replaced by a department store called Bergdorf Goodman.
"I was devastated when I found she was a gossipy old girl," recalls Mrs. Alsop, picking up sugar cubes with silver tongs, on a tea tray covered with linen and lace. "Or perhaps it was just that my aunt was so tedious, a wonderful old girl, but perfectly illiterate."
Feather-thin and 75 years old, Mrs. Alsop is a charming remnant of a patrician Washington that has largely disappeared. Her town house, with its green walls, peacock screens, Gilbert Stuarts and John Singer Sargents, is so timeless it may as well be Etruscan.
Once, high-born people from socially prominent families in New York and Boston and the old South -- like the Lovetts, Bruces and Wisners -- dominated the foreign-service and intelligence communities. They were not drones and drudges; they felt quietly superior to government. Joseph Alsop, the acerbic columnist she married in 1961, called his crowd "the ever-diminishing group of survivors of the WASP ascendancy." It was a world of perfect manners and closely held power, not hugs and meaningful exchanges.
The men had a self-confident "Let's overthrow the government of Guatemala" panache. Their wives exerted more subtle power, as hostesses of envied salons. "If women were smart, they'd shut up," Mrs. Alsop recalls, in a voice described by her friend Nancy Mitford as "like that of an Englishwoman who has once lived in the United States." "You simply could not sit between Isaiah Berlin and Jack Kennedy and talk about your children."
They gentrified Georgetown, an unfashionable working-class neighborhood with a large black contingent. As Mrs. Alsop told Town & Country magazine: "The blacks kept their houses so well. All of us had terrible guilt in the 30's and 40's for buying places so cheaply and moving them out."
The gentry, and the hostesses, faded through the 70's. Unlike Pamela Harriman, Mrs. Alsop had no desire to get involved in politics. Unlike Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a cousin of Joseph Alsop's, she did not have the money or sharp tongue to play grande dame. So, at 56, separated from Mr. Alsop, she became a writer of history, and an institutional memory of the WASP descendancy.
Her aristocratic air mingles with a fine zaniness. "She's a cross between Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Betty Boop," says one admirer. She wafts about town in a wardrobe featuring fishnet stockings, Givenchys, Balenciagas and black Reeboks. She is always reaching for her alligator purse, to fish out another Merit and a Bic lighter.
It is a measure of her spirit that, one day last winter, she marched into a downtown topless bar, which she grandly calls "a bordello," to complain to the manager that, because their phone numbers were so similar, she was getting midnight calls from "damn fools" looking for "Mabel" or "Josie."
"It was an extraordinary place," she reports, "very dark, filled with men at tables knocking back God knows what, with a naked girl dancing on stage."
She came here as a child, the daughter of a foreign-service officer and descendant of John Jay, the first Chief Justice. As a teen-ager, she chafed at the town's stuffy formality. "There were a terrible lot of unattractive, pimply young men who worked in real estate," she says. "I hate to say that, some of them are alive today, actually." She persuaded her widowed mother to move back to New York, where she could see Ivy League beaus.
But when she returned in 1941 as the wife of Bill Patten, a State Department official who was a Groton and Harvard grad, she was thrilled by the more informal wartime Washington. Franklin Roosevelt Jr. sometimes called with an invitation to supper with his parents.
"We'd drive our Chevrolet right up to the door of the White House, and then they'd show you up and there was the President in that upstairs study shaking up dry martinis, which I adored," she says. "There would be what he called 'Uncle Joe's Bounty,' a large bowl of fresh caviar sent by Stalin."
She said everyone filled up on caviar because Mrs. Roosevelt, who cooked on Sunday nights, was "the worst cook in the world, you know. When she put the chafing dish full of scrambled eggs on the table, they'd be heavier than lead and Mr. Roosevelt would look so depressed."
Her husband, in failing health, took a posting in Paris in 1945. She spent the next 15 years there, meeting Ho Chi Minh, Garbo and Churchill, and wearing "madly becoming" creations sent over on loan by admiring designers like Christian Dior, who named his 1947 polka-dot "Miss New York" number for her. After her husband died, she came back with her two children in 1961 to marry his old classmate, Mr. Alsop, and she was once again in the center of things.
Journalists and pols were cozier then. President Kennedy sipped 1945 Lafite-Rothschild at the Alsops' Georgetown home, and the Alsops dined at the White House. "Jackie was never very relaxed -- she's more fun now -- but she was very witty and played up to Jack and he loved it," Mrs. Alsop says.
She recalls the embassy dinner during the Berlin wall crisis, when Robert McNamara confided that he was trying to learn the twist by practicing in front of a mirror. "It was so pathetic, but he was desperate to be, sort of, with it," she said.
Then there was the time Nancy Reagan, eager to join the Georgetown inner circle, asked Mrs. Alsop to give a ladies' lunch. Mrs. Alsop made the mistake of inviting two French friends, one the wife, one the former mistress, of a famous banker. At lulls in the conversation, the wife made incomprehensible cracks to her old rival. Afterwards, an aide to Mrs. Reagan called and said the First Lady had wondered about "the two Frenchwomen who hated each other."
"So Mrs. Reagan was much smarter than we thought, you see," Mrs. Alsop says.
Washington clings to a strict social hierarchy, and many here feel wistful for the elite salons, when elegant hostesses could flatter you and make you feel like a speck of dust, at the same time.
Mrs. Alsop is not among the nostalgic. Fiercely addicted to the present, she gets most excited talking about Hillary Clinton and health care. "She's more impressive than Mrs. Roosevelt in a way, don't you think?" she asks. "There's nothing sentimental about Hillary Clinton."
When I express surprise that someone who met the Coolidges has not yet met the Clintons, she demurs.
"My dear girl," she says, "you're making me a glamour girl and I'm just an old lady."
