Whither thou goest
Ruth Taylor Jacobson AMGP
Acid etched, painted antique glass The gentle, poignant Book of Ruth" is set in the violent, lawless times of the Judges". Naomi emigrated to Moab with her family to escape famine. Years later, bereft of husband and sons, she discourages her Moabite daughters-in-law from accompanying her back to her native Bethlehem. Orpah reluctantly returns to her people, but Ruth refuses to abandon Naomi. Sombre purples express Naomi"s sorrow, glowing reds and oranges convey the warmth of Ruth"s love. On her garments are etched Ruth"s moving declaration: Whither thou goest, I shall go . . . . . Thy people shall be my people". I studied painting and etching at the Slade, which in the early 1960s nurtured my love of the human form. Years later, I was attracted to the emotive qualities of stained glass and studied at the Central St. Martins, where I was awarded a Fellowship. My most personal work explores the history and destiny of the Jewish people.

junction of Whitepark and Ballinlea Roads
I was wondering if you could give our small historical society - Ballintoy And District Local Historicial and Archaeological Society - a plug on your blog?
We have just recently formed and our first official meeting is on the 25th March in Ballintoy Parish Hall at 8 pm - I have attached a copy of our circular.
Archaeologist Thomas McErlean, BA (QUB); FSA, Centre for Maritime Archaeology - University of Ulster at Coleraine, will be the guest speaker at the meeting.
We are a small cross community group with big aspirations'! We plan to meet each month with a guest speaker relating in some way to the local historical and archaeological past of the Ballintoy and wider "shore" area and we are planning to have guided walks in the evenings over the summer months.
We have had a good response so far and we hope to build upon this success in the coming months so every little bit of publicity would be very helpful.
Thank-you & Best Wishes

NEW YORK (AP) — Writing a children's book isn't enough for Oscar winner Octavia Spencer. She's also narrating the audio edition.
Spencer's "The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit" comes out Oct. 15. It's the first of two planned books for middle schoolers that feature 12-year-old vigilante Randi Rhodes. In a statement released Wednesday by publisher Simon & Schuster, Spencer says her background as an actress helped her bring her story "to life" on tape.
The 43-year-old Spencer won an Academy Award in 2012 for best supporting actress for her role in "The Help."

(Reuters) - A 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl with cystic fibrosis who sparked a national debate about child access to organ donations that led to two lung transplant operations was in recovery on Tuesday after surgery to repair her diaphragm, her family said.
Sarah Murnaghan had been left off an adult transplant list because of an age restriction and became eligible only after a judge's order. She had her first lung transplant on June 12, but complications forced a second transplant within days.
On Tuesday, she underwent surgery on her diaphragm, her mother, Janet Ruddock Murnaghan, said in a Facebook posting. The surgery was intended to make it easier for her new lungs to expand.
"Sarah is still mostly sedated, waking periodically in pain, so aggressive pain management is underway," Murnaghan said.
Murnaghan said doctors would begin to slowly wean Sarah from a ventilator on Wednesday and they expected to know by next week whether her muscles are strong enough for her to breathe on her own when they remove the breathing tube, or if she will need a temporary tracheostomy while her muscles strengthen.
The family, which lives in a Philadelphia suburb, sued to stop the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from enforcing a policy that prevents children under 12 from receiving adult lung transplants, no matter how ill they are.
People with cystic fibrosis, or CF, have an average life span of about 30 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
CF is an inherited disease of the mucus glands that primarily affects the respiratory and digestive systems.

John Habib's City Sports -- Kelly to Little Green: Don't look backby JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 14. 2014 9:44PM
He wasn't in Durham last Monday for the NHIAA Division I boys' basketball semifinals, but somehow former Manchester Central athlete and current Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly got word his Little Green had outlasted rival Memorial High in double-overtime.
"It couldn't have been more than a half-hour after we won, around 10:45 (p.m.)," said Central head coach Dave "Doc" Wheeler. "We're in the basement at UNH, still in the locker room, and suddenly I get a text from Chip congratulating me and the team."
At 7:15 the following morning, Wheeler said, Kelly texted him again.
According to Wheeler, the text read, "For all great teams and true competitors, it's always about the next game, the next challenge. The greats are always looking to the next challenge, not living the past."
Wheeler, a friend of Kelly's for more than 30 years, said he took the message to heart.
"He's telling me and our team that we just won a great game against our intra-city rival, but now get over it and focus on the next game," Wheeler said.
The next game is today at noon when Central (24-0) attempts to close out a perfect season against third-ranked Merrimack (19-2) for the Division I title at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gym.
"I'm speaking for many people who know Chip; he's really a friend for life," said Wheeler. "No matter where he is, he's always keeping in touch with friends back home in Manchester. I can't say I was surprised to hear from him because that's Chip."
As for Kelly's advice to move on, Wheeler said, "Believe me, we're past Memorial and fully focused on Merrimack."
- - - - - - - -
THERE'S NO getting around the fact that, at 24-0, the Little Green are expected to beat the Tomahawks.
"As a coach, I get that, and I understand if we lose folks are going to say our season was a failure," said Wheeler. "I get all of that."
Fortunately, Wheeler can draw back from experience. In 2006, another 24-0 Central team, led by Tyler Roche, went to Durham and completed its unbeaten championship season with a 54-39 victory. Its opponent that day: Merrimack.
"You basically tell your seniors, tell your team, that you live this journey only once in your life," Wheeler said. "You tell them to take advantage of the opportunity and play at your highest level.
"Now, the bounce of the ball, an official's call, a kid getting hurt — all of that comes into play. But if you stick together, execute and do your job, things more often than not will turn out well. I'll say this much about our team: We've worked awfully hard to get to this point, and we'll definitely be ready to play."
Central's roster includes seven seniors. Dawson Dickson, Mike Plentzas, Jon Martin, Jaylen Murchison, Nick Makris, Abe Madra and Collin Duffley will lace up their sneakers as members of the Little Green one more time.
"How many times can a kid say he played in 25 games and played on a team competing for a championship?" Wheeler said. "I've been blessed to coach them all."
- - - - - - - - -
ONE CENTRAL senior who isn't on the roster but has been an integral part of the team is Nolan Flynn, who transferred from Manchester High West before the start of the season. According to Wheeler, Flynn lives in the Central school district but didn't receive the waiver from West required to make him eligible to play for the Little Green.
"He was allowed to practice with all us all season, and he never missed one," said Wheeler. "He's a great kid, and he loves to play basketball and baseball. I don't care what anyone says or feels; he's still a part of our team."
As the Green were preparing to face Nashua North during the regular season, Wheeler asked Flynn to address the team in a pregame speech.
"Everyone left that locker room with tears in their eyes," Wheeler said. "We all know what he's going through, not able to suit up and play. He just delivered his speech from his heart, and he touched every one of us in that locker room."
Wheeler said that no matter what happens today, win or lose, Flynn will get his shining moment.
"The NHIAA hands out medals, and believe me, Nolan is going to get one," Wheeler said. "I'll give him mine because that kid deserves one. He's part of our team."
- - - - - - - -
IN ADDITION to today's game and the 2006 final, Central and Merrimack met in the 2012 Division I title game. The Tomahawks, then as now under coach Tim Goodridge, won that one, 65-56.
"I can't say enough about Coach Goodridge," said Wheeler. "We're the best of friends. He always gets the best out of his teams, is always in the hunt for a state title.
"We're expecting a battle mainly because of Tim. He's very good in finding a team's weakness and attacking it. I told my kids this week, 'We've got to execute and play hard for 32 minutes.' That's what it's going to take to beat Merrimack."

Normally, I wait until later in the week to round up what the national media are saying about the Eagles, but there's really no sense in delaying it after the Birds' loss to the Packers Sunday.
The primary topic dominating conversation is (you guessed it) Michael Vick.
Several writers from around the country are calling for Andy Reid to hand Vick the starting job based on his performance in the second half of Sunday's game. Here's a roundup of what they're saying.
Jason Whitlock of FoxSports.com calls for Vick to start and rips Reid in the process:
Andy Reid coaches like he's won three Super Bowls. And we, the media, talk about him like he's won four. What's the difference between Andy Reid and Marty Schottenheimer? A hundred pounds, Ernest Byner's fumble and different coaching specialties.
Andy Reid would be a fool to enter the Eagles locker room and tell 53 players Kolb is the starting quarterback. Reid had the guts to permanently dump McNabb. Why not bench Kolb (or use his concussion as an excuse) and let the Vick situation play out for at least another week?
ESPN.com's Gene Wojciechowski says Reid's decision is easy: start Vick:
"I think we all had a piece of this [defeat]," Reid said. "And like I mentioned before, I need to make sure that I put all of them in the right position."
Here's an idea for the Week 2 game at Detroit: Put Vick in the starting quarterback position. After watching him Sunday, it's the only right thing to do.
Michael Lombardi of NFL.com thinks the locker room could support Vick over Kevin Kolb:
Vick and McNabb worked well together in terms of the style of offense that most benefited them. Conversely, Vick and Kolb are oil and water, and it looked bad against the Packers. My sense is that Vick is going to have the locker room behind him as the starter unless Kolb breaks out of this funk. Kolb hasn't been good all summer, too eager to run around and too inconsistent in the pocket, his eye level is way down. Kolb has to prove to his teammates he can be the best player, not be given the job. Keep an eye on this one.
Pat Kirwan of NFL.com says Vick gives the Eagles the better chance to win now:
Vick, a three-time Pro Bowl QB with the Falcons, looks like he gives the Eagles a better chance to win than Kolb at this time. The concussion Kolb incurred against the Packers probably means Vick starts next week against Detroit and maybe even the following week against the Jaguars. If he wins both games and generates the kind of offense he did on a limited basis against the Packers, maybe Vick is the realistic choice when the Redskins and McNabb come to town in Week 4. No doubt, Kolb is the future in Philadelphia, but after I saw Vick go 16-for-24 for 175 yards and eclipse 100 yards on the ground, I think he might be the present.
SI.com's Don Banks doesn't expect Vick to quietly accept a backup role when Kolb returns:
Reid's artful dodge of the quarterback controversy topic is understandable. This was Week 1, and the Eagles have invested three years developing Kolb and his game. You can't throw it all out the window when he struggles in the first half of his first game as the team's new starter. But having had a real taste of playing time again, you wonder if Vick's patience will allow him to revert back to his modest role as the team's Wildcat quarterback? My hunch is he won't go as quietly as he did in 2009.
Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports says Reid's plan has blown up after one week:
If you are a dog lover or a Donovan McNabb hater, Sunday was a very bad day. And if you are Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, a man who devoted his offseason to eliminating a potential quarterback controversy – only to have one appear in bright Kelly green before the regular-season opener was over – you are wondering if this is going to be a very long year.
Earlier today, I posted Man Up on the defense. Man Up on the offense comes Tuesday morning.

Jerry Saltz on Kanye, Kim, and 'the New Uncanny'
"They toggle back into demented sincerity while simultaneously remaining alien."
Lou Reed got Kanye West's Yeezus absolutely right. "No one's near doing what he's doing," Reed wrote in a review just a few weeks before he died. "It's not even the same planet ... He keeps unbalancing you." The unbalancing act went full-tilt last week, when West released the video for "Bound 2." Instantaneously, the Internet did what the Internet does: hate. The video was ridiculed as clueless kitsch. But I dig it, and I think it represents a part of a collective cultural fracturing, via an idiom that I call the New Uncanny.
When performers like Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, and, yes, Jeff Koons and Marina Abramovic try so hard to showcase and communicate how sincere they are, instead they reveal how out-of-touch they are — from each other, from themselves, from us. These are not just famous performers; they are performers of fame. In their grandiose sincerity, their attempt to keep it real (West says his "passion is for humanity" and that his art is totally about "beauty, truth, awesomeness"), these stars become alien things, automata, odd gods before our eyes. By some bizarre alchemy, they then toggle back into demented sincerity while simultaneously remaining alien, other, apart. They become psychological quantum particles, in two states at once. Sincerity and fame combine, float free of common rules. "Bound 2" represents a psychological fissure whereby stars gives us exactly what we ask of them — a glimpse into their inner selves — and then are shunned and mocked for it. They're sacred cows and sacrificial lambs at the same time. Just as the Rodney King video included in the 1993 Whitney Biennial, "Bound 2" should be in the upcoming one, representing a bend of cultural nature.
Last week, I suggested this on my Facebook page, and watched my words burned before me, the way disco records were in the seventies. Had I once again been blinded by fame's death-ray of idolatry, idiocy, and primitive force? (See my dancing with Jay Z.) Is this video anything? Is Kanye doing what he says he's doing, "clearing a path for people to dream properly," or has he gone off the demented deep end? Had I followed him?
"Bound 2" is certainly a piece of work — as bizarrely gonzo and creepily asexual as Jeff Koons's hyperrealistic 1991 paintings of himself having sex with his then-wife Cicciolina, John Currin's 1989 paintings of Breck girls, and Marina Abramovic's staring at spectators at MoMA in 2010. "Bound 2" is different: a freakish act of creation and destruction by appropriation. It stars Kanye and his fiancée, Kim Kardashian, and we see (along with the two of them) wild horses running in rivers, eagles flying to the sky, sunsets, purple mountain majesties, redwood forests, and gulfstream waters. It's a teenage girl's bedroom's idea of romance crossed with Richard Prince's Cowboy photographs, American Romanticism, Celestial Seasonings packages, shampoo commercials, Iranian music videos, Thomas Kinkaid, beer ads, Jeff Koons, The Onion, Lars von Trier, the House of Fendi, and Jeffrey Deitch and his own uncanny 1992 prophecy "The Freudian model of the psychological person is dissolving ... freed of the constraints of one's past." The New Uncanny is un-self-consciousness filtered through hyper-self-consciousness, unprocessed absurdity, grandiosity of desire, and fantastic self-regard.
Those attacking "Bound 2" as crass kitsch employ preestablished taste hierarchies that often exclude people like West. They assume he doesn't know where his work is coming from or what he's doing with his sources. Yet he names Parisian Corbusier homes, and a Corbusier-furniture show at the Louvre, as key inspirations for his latest work. He has worked closely in the past with established artists like Vanessa Beecroft and Marco Brambilla. (Gaga, too, will soon be shown at the Louvre, in a video piece by director Robert Wilson.) Yet people discount West's artistic intelligence. As he wrote, "Y'all throwin' contracts at me/You know niggas can't read." Extending Deitch's dictum about the new organization of one's personality, West is part of some total merging of art with everything around it of art going viral — of more people wanting a bit of it in their lives. Regardless of their reasons.
"Bound 2" tells me that empirical observation, obsessive introspection, creativity, cravenness, ego, and id are combining in new uncanny ways, and that a segment of the population that has the means to embrace this total merging is evolving in strange ways. The New Uncanny pools all through "Bound 2." At about 2:20 in the video, Kanye and Kim are riding on a motorcycle, maybe in Arizona, or the Crab Nebula, or a video game, or Thunderdome. He's wearing a sort of Scottish caveman thing. She looks like the reclining silhouette on a truck mudflap — topless, of course. They seem to boink on the motorcycle as it rides, gently bouncing along. That's when we see full-on shots of Kim's rack wobbling back and forth, heaving, defying gravity like two great cannonballs. But her boobs are nippleless. It's a new flowering of Meret Oppenheim — whose 1936 version of The New Uncanny, her fur-lined teacup, saucer, and spoon, is still striking. My mouth still tries to spit out hairballs whenever I look at this thing. Likewise Kim's breast: I don't know whether I'm turned on, turned off, freaked out, or struck dumb.
To the famous, these new unprecedented levels of fame must feel like Kim's nippleless boob: They perform, yet are removed from, yet embody the culture all at the same time. What they do makes a grand gestural show of doing away with concealment, modesty, and self-consciousness, in ways that leave us only with two truly concealed, rather than revealed selves. This is the New Uncanny. "Bound 2" looks as cheesy as anything anyone could make on their home computer. This too is what West means by "clearing a path for people to dream properly."

When Words Fail: Does a Warming World Need a New Vocabulary?
We are at a loss for words, says Glenn Albrecht. There is nothing in English adequate to describe how overpowering it is to face climate change, or how we might feel about drought across Somalia or Texas, the leveling of mountains for coal mining, or our uncertainty about how flooded or stormy the future may be.
So Albrecht is inventing new words.
Albrecht is an Australian philosopher who has gained some fame for coining the word solastalgia, a term that describes the angst you might feel when the environment around you starts to change, whether because of coal-mining or drought or flooding. It's an evocative word that has brought Albrecht renown, made the New York Times Magazine, and become the subject of art, music, and street theater in places as far-flung as Slovenia, New Jersey, and Portland, Ore.
Albrecht says our inability to name our emotions helps feed our political inertia on climate change. He is now compiling an entire lexicon to describe our grief, hope, joy, and anxiety about the way the environment is changing around us. The words he creates are based on his research on how we feel about the places we live. His work maps out the rocky emotional landscape we will have to navigate as the planet heats up, suggesting ways we can overcome paralytic fear about climate change and find sources of joy and hope.
Naming the Problem
Glenn Albrecht's search for words began about 10 years ago. His research had brought him to the Hunter Valley, a lush, hilly region of Australia full of wineries and horse pastures—and home to one of the world's largest coal exporting operations.
Albrecht discovered that Hunter residents were overwhelmed by the impacts of the coal industry: Open-pit mining was desolating the landscape, and there were ominous signs that dust and polluted air were making people sick. "Individuals would ring me at work pleading for help with their cause. Their distress about the threats to their identity and well-being, even over the phone, was palpable," Albrecht writes in the journal Philosophy, Activism, Nature.
When you name a shared feeling, it lets people know that they're not alone.
You could call it anxiety, but Albrecht felt the problems of Hunter Valley locals were more than medical. He believed their distress was part of a widespread human experience that many more people would have as the places we live increasingly suffer from pollution and more extreme weather. He searched the writings of well-known eco-philosophers, such as Aldo Leopold, but felt there was no adequate term in English for the feelings of isolation and powerlessness that Hunter Valley residents described. He needed a new word. "With my wife, Jill, I sat at the dining table at home and explored numerous possibilities," writes Albrecht. "One word, 'nostalgia,' came to our attention as it was once a concept linked ... to homesickness." Hunter Valley residents were homesick, but they hadn't gone anywhere—the place they lived in just didn't feel like home anymore. Albrecht crafted the word solastalgia using the suffix -algia, meaning "pain," and the same Latin roots as the words "solace," "console," and "desolation."
Albrecht and a team of researchers gathered interviews with Hunter Valley residents and with Australians in a region suffering from drought. The interviewees described similar feelings: isolation, powerlessness, emotional shutdown, and avoidance. "I interviewed an indigenous person whose response was to drive hundreds of unnecessary kilometers in order to avoid looking at the desolated landscape," Albrecht says. Other people Albrecht interviewed stopped venturing outside: "Their immediate house and garden would be the last oasis in a sea of drought."
Naming is powerful. It gives shape, substance, and legitimacy to the things we experience. Albrecht tried out the word solastalgia on his interview subjects. "They expressed relief that I'd finally given expression ... to a feeling they had but couldn't articulate," Albrecht says. "The diagnosis is sometimes really important for people if they can see that their experiences of distress and despair are actually part of a wider, perfectly understandable response that people have to environmental degradation. Then they no longer see their plight as just simply being their own personal private problem, their own personal private anguish."
When you name a shared feeling, it lets people know that they're not alone. And in a place like the Hunter Valley, a simple word can help people overcome the powerlessness they feel about the vast problem in front of them.
What's in a Word
Finding strength will be important as climate change worsens and more people begin to experience extreme changes in their environments. Environmental devastation is hard on our emotions: An Australian study shows that people living in drought-stricken areas are more likely to suffer from mental health problems. Pediatrician Jennifer Watts, from Joplin, Mo., writes powerfully about how long distress lingered after this summer's mega-tornado: "It is not all the wounds from flying debris that I will remember. The emotional toll is what wears you down, seeps into your heart, and sticks with you."
The experience of solastalgia is separate from beliefs about climate change. People can suffer from the emotional effects of climate extremes, whether or not they recognize climate change as a root cause. And Americans are already noticing weird weather: A recent Harris poll says fewer than half of Americans think global warming is happening, but three-quarters believe there have been more devastating natural disasters recently than in the past.
As more of us feel the direct effects of climate change, Albrecht believes people may ultimately experience "emotional tipping points." "People will persevere," he says "They'll be resilient up to a point, and then something happens that just pushes them over the edge where they are no longer able to cope with the extent of change that's going on around them."
But Albrecht has also named a coping mechanism: soliphilia, pronounced sol-ee-fee-lee-a. Of course, philia means love, and this is Albrecht's name for "the solidarity needed between people to actually restore and repair damaged environments."
In Albrecht's studies, solastalgia is partly the result of feeling powerless to stop environmental damage. "So when people respond with a form of activism," he says, "whether it's joining a social protest movement or planting trees, that negates the solastalgia." This idea lines up with research by psychologists such as Stephen Post, who have found that volunteering, giving, and getting involved in community lowers stress levels. It seems that taking responsibility for environmental problems might actually make people more able to cope with them.
Curing Climate Anxiety?
Then there are the 39 percent of Americans who say they are either alarmed or concerned about climate change, according to studies by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. I ask Albrecht if the fears of the climate-anxious could also be called solastalgia.
No, Albrecht offers another word for this—eco-anxiety. But it's not medical anxiety, he insists. Albrecht's diagnoses are, he says, existential.
"Is that because these conditions are not something that can be cured?" I ask, thinking maybe we're not supposed to be comfortable with the unraveling of the planet's life-support systems.
"Well, it can be cured," he reassures me, "but not in a biomedical sense." He tells me the cure is the same as for solastalgia, "working with other people to stop further degradation of the environment through whatever the cause is."
Two years ago, Albrecht returned to Western Australia after 27 years of living in New South Wales and was shocked to see how deeply drought had damaged local forests. "We've had a period of reduced rainfall now ... I'm talking about thousands of trees just dying through lack of water; whole sections of forests are beginning to just turn brown." Western Australia is one of the world's most biodiverse regions—now it's being hit hard by climate extremes.
He says activist movements give him hope. "There are people busily building transition town movements, self-sufficiency, generating their own power, capturing their own water, growing their own food, doing a whole lot of things to reduce their ecological footprint, engaging in self-organized repair of their own local environments."
A Whole New Vocabulary
Meanwhile, Albrecht has been crafting an entire vocabulary to describe our psychological relationship with the planet—a psychoterratic typology, he calls it. Eutierria, for instance, is a feeling of elation or oneness with the Earth, something you might experience on a hike or in the garden or when dipping into an ocean breaker. Ecoparalysis is the inability, due to fear or hopelessness, to respond to environmental problems.
I can't say whether such words will gain household familiarity (although equally complex words, like schadenfreude or weltschmerz, sometimes make it into common parlance). But Albrecht's work opens a dialogue, especially within the arts and mental health communities, about how emotions and the subconscious are related to experiences of climate change and environmental degradation.
And talking openly about emotions may make it possible for more people to take steps to address climate change. Albrecht notes that the word "emotion" stems from the Latin movere, to move.
He also offers me a Hopi word—Koyaanisqatsi. It means "crazy life," "life disintegrating," and " a state of life that calls for another way of living."
"We have to change the conditions of life," he says, "create another way of living—one that is sustainable."

How Bin Laden Emailed Without Internet: Sneakernet-To-The-Home
from the well,-that's-one-way-to-do-things dept
Holed up in his walled compound in northeast Pakistan with no phone or Internet capabilities, bin Laden would type a message on his computer without an Internet connection, then save it using a thumb-sized flash drive. He then passed the flash drive to a trusted courier, who would head for a distant Internet cafe.Of course, this also means that the emails were stored, meaning that US officials now have a bunch of email info. What's interesting is that the AP article suggests this means the feds will now issue a ton of National Security Letters to get info on those accounts. What I'm wondering is why use NSLs in this situation, when it shouldn't be difficult at all to get a full warrant from a court? It seems that they would have plenty of info to get a warrant. So why use NSLs?
At that location, the courier would plug the memory drive into a computer, copy bin Laden's message into an email and send it. Reversing the process, the courier would copy any incoming email to the flash drive and return to the compound, where bin Laden would read his messages offline.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � The search for a car that was stolen from a home in a usually tranquil suburb of San Francisco where a retired schoolteacher was killed has come to an end outside of Seattle, and a man and his wife wanted in the unrelated shooting of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy have been arrested, police said.
Darnell Washington, 24, and his 25-year-old wife, Tania Washington, were taken into custody and the car stolen from the Hercules home of Susie Ko was recovered Wednesday, said King County sheriff's Sgt. Cindy West.
Ko, 55, was found dead on the floor of her home by neighbors who were called by her husband, Kelvin, when she failed to pick him up at Oakland International Airport late Friday.
After her body was found, Hercules police said the only thing that appeared to be missing from the home was the family's Subaru station wagon.
Around 9 a.m. Wednesday, a police officer in the Seattle suburb of SeaTac ran the plate of a Subaru and found it was reported stolen in California, West said.
"He noticed the car and hadn't seen it in the neighborhood before," West said. "So he ran a check of the plates, and it came back stolen."
But instead of stopping for the officer, the driver took off, ramming the officer's car as it sped away, West said.
With additional officers called to help, police were eventually able to box in the car, and the two occupants were arrested. Police said they found a shotgun in the car.
Besides recovering the stolen car, King County authorities also determined that the Washingtons were wanted for an alleged crime spree in Southern California, that included Darnell Washington escaping from San Bernardino County jail in August, the shooting of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy in El Monte and a series of carjackings.
The deputy was wounded in a shootout, but was treated and released from a hospital.
"There are a lot of communities safer tonight," said Capt. Mike Parker, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Hercules police detectives were going to Washington to interview the couple, police spokesman Connie Van Putten said.
"We're calling them persons of interest because they were in the car taken from the home," Van Putten said. "It's a major break in the case. If these people are not the suspects, maybe they can lead us to the suspects."
The killing of Ko shook up officials and residents of Hercules, a mostly residential community of upscale homes and quiet neighborhoods about 23 miles northeast of San Francisco.
The homicide was the first in Hercules since 2010, and the city has seen only seen five homicides in the past 12 years, Van Putten said.
Darnell and Tania Washington were being held in King County Jail, West said. She did not know if a court date had been set.

"Equality for all," is the message that many Latino celebrities are supporting. Most recently, Jennifer Lopez was honored at the 2013 Human Rights Campaign National Dinner at Washington Convention Center in DC with the Ally for Equality Award.
"Jennifer Lopez embodies the spirit of an ally to the LGBT community and we are thrilled to present her the Ally for Equality at our National Dinner in October," HRC president Chad Griffin said in a recent press release.

"I've never spoken about this before, but my grandfather was a trailblazer himself," Lovato said before presenting an award to Orange Is the New Black at Logo's event.
"He was brave enough to come out in the 1960s, and I feel that a lot of my spirit has come from him. He passed away a few years later and I only wish he could have been able to see all the progress that has been made."

The Faerie Queene
Book V. The Legend of Artegall
Canto IX
Arthur and Artegall catch Guyle,
Whom Talus doth dismay:
They to Mercillaes pallace come,
And see her rich array.
tygre, or what other salvage wight,
Is so exceeding furious and fell
As Wrong, when it hath armd it selfe with might?
Not fit mongst men, that doe with reason mell,
But mongst wyld beasts and salvage woods to dwell;
Where still the stronger doth the weake devoure,
And they that most in boldnesse doe excell
Are dreadded most, and feared for their powre;
Fit for Adicia, there to build her wicked bowre.
There let her wonne farre from resort of men,
Where righteous Artegall her late exyled;
There let her ever keepe her damned den,
Where none may be with her lewd parts defyled,
Nor none but beasts may be of her despoyled:
And turne we to the noble Prince, where late
We did him leave, after that he had foyled
The cruell Souldan, and with dreadfull fate
Had utterly subverted his unrighteous state.
Where having with Sir Artegall a space
Well solast in that Souldans late delight,
They both resolving now to leave the place,
Both it and all the wealth therein behight
Unto that damzell in her ladies right,
And so would have departed on their way.
But she them wood by all the meanes she might,
And earnestly besought, to wend that day
With her, to see her ladie thence not farre away.
By whose entreatie both they overcommen,
Agree to goe with her, and by the way,
(As often falles) of sundry things did commen.
Mongst which that damzell did to them bewray
A straunge adventure, which not farre thence lay;
To weet, a wicked villaine, bold and stout,
Which wonned in a rocke not farre away,
That robbed all the countrie there about,
And brought the pillage home, whence none could get it out.
Thereto both his owne wylie wit (she sayd)
And eke the fastnesse of his dwelling place,
Both unassaylable, gave him great ayde:
For he so crafty was to forge and face,
So light of hand, and nymble of his pace,
So smooth of tongue, and subtile in his tale,
That could deceive one looking in his face;
Therefore by name Malengin they him call,
Well knowen by his feates, and famous over all.
Through these his slights he many doth confound,
And eke the rocke, in which he wonts to dwell,
Is wondrous strong, and hewen farre under ground
A dreadfull depth, how deepe no man can tell;
But some doe say, it goeth downe to hell.
And all within, it full of wyndings is,
And hidden wayes, that scarse an hound by smell
Can follow out those false footsteps of his,
Ne none can backe returne that once are gone amis.
Which when those knights had heard, their harts gan earne
To understand that villeins dwelling place,
And greatly it desird of her to learne,
And by which way they towards it should trace.
Were not, sayd she, that it should let your pace
Towards my ladies presence by you ment,
I would you guyde directly to the place.
Then let not that, said they, stay your intent;
For neither will one foot, till we that carle have hent.
So forth they past, till they approched ny
Unto the rocke where was the villains won:
Which when the damzell neare at hand did spy,
She warnd the knights thereof: who thereupon
Gan to advize what best were to be done.
So both agreed to send that mayd afore,
Where she might sit nigh to the den alone,
Wayling, and raysing pittifull uprore,
As if she did some great calamitie deplore.
With noyse whereof when as the caytive carle
Should issue forth, in hope to find some spoyle,
They in awayt would closely him ensnarle,
Ere to his den he backward could recoyle,
And so would hope him easily to foyle.
The damzell straight went, as she was directed,
Unto the rocke, and there upon the soyle
Having her selfe in wretched wize abjected,
Gan weepe and wayle, as if great griefe had her affected.
The cry whereof entring the hollow cave,
Eftsoones brought forth the villaine, as they ment,
With hope of her some wishfull boot to have.
Full dreadfull wight he was, as ever went
Upon the earth, with hollow eyes deepe pent,
And long curld locks, that downe his shoulders shagged,
And on his backe an uncouth vestiment
Made of straunge stuffe, but all to-worne and ragged,
And underneath his breech was all to-torne and jagged.
And in his hand an huge long staffe he held,
Whose top was armd with many an yron hooke,
Fit to catch hold of all that he could weld,
Or in the compasse of his clouches tooke;
And ever round about he cast his looke.
Als at his backe a great wyde net he bore,
With which he seldome fished at the brooke,
But usd to fish for fooles on the dry shore,
Of which he in faire weather wont to take great store.
Him when the damzell saw fast by her side,
So ugly creature, she was nigh dismayd,
And now for helpe aloud in earnest cride.
But when the villaine saw her so affrayd,
He gan with guilefull words her to perswade
To banish feare, and with Sardonian smyle
Laughing on her, his false intent to shade,
Gan forth to lay his bayte her to beguyle,
That from her self unwares he might her steale the whyle.
Like as the fouler on his guilefull pype
Charmes to the birds full many a pleasant lay,
That they the whiles may take lesse heedie keepe,
How he his nets doth for their ruine lay:
So did the villaine to her prate and play,
And many pleasant trickes before her show,
To turne her eyes from his intent away:
For he in slights and jugling feates did flow,
And of legierdemayne the mysteries did know.
To which whilest she lent her intentive mind,
He suddenly his net upon her threw,
That oversprad her like a puffe of wind;
And snatching her soone up, ere well she knew,
Ran with her fast away unto his mew,
Crying for helpe aloud. But when as ny
He came unto his cave, and there did vew
The armed knights stopping his passage by,
He threw his burden downe, and fast away did fly.
But Artegall him after did pursew,
The whiles the Prince there kept the entrance still:
Up to the rocke he ran, and thereon flew
Like a wyld gote, leaping from hill to hill,
And dauncing on the craggy cliffes at will;
That deadly daunger seemd in all mens sight,
To tempt such steps, where footing was so ill:
Ne ought avayled for the armed knight
To thinke to follow him, that was so swift and light.
Which when he saw, his yron man he sent
To follow him; for he was swift in chace.
He him pursewd, where ever that he went;
Both over rockes, and hilles, and every place,
Where so he fled, he followd him apace:
So that he shortly forst him to forsake
The hight, and downe descend unto the base.
There he him courst a fresh, and soone did make
To leave his proper forme, and other shape to take.
Into a foxe himselfe he first did tourne;
But he him hunted like a foxe full fast:
Then to a bush himselfe he did transforme;
But he the bush did beat, till that at last
Into a bird it chaungd, and from him past,
Flying from tree to tree, from wand to wand:
But he then stones at it so long did cast,
That like a stone it fell upon the land;
But he then tooke it up, and held fast in his hand.
So he it brought with him unto the knights,
And to his lord, Sir Artegall, it lent,
Warning him hold it fast, for feare of slights.
Who whilest in hand it gryping hard he hent,
Into a hedgehogge all unwares it went,
And prickt him so that he away it threw.
Then gan it runne away incontinent,
Being returned to his former hew:
But Talus soone him overtooke, and backward drew.
But when as he would to a snake againe
Have turnd himselfe, he with his yron flayle
Gan drive at him, with so huge might and maine,
That all his bones as small as sandy grayle
He broke, and did his bowels disentrayle;
Crying in vaine for helpe, when helpe was past.
So did deceipt the selfe deceiver fayle.
There they him left a carrion outcast,
For beasts and foules to feede upon for their repast.
Thence forth they passed with that gentle mayd,
To see her ladie, as they did agree.
To which when she approched, thus she sayd:
Loe now, right noble knights, arrivd ye bee
Nigh to the place which ye desird to see:
There shall ye see my soverayne Lady Queene,
Most sacred wight, most debonayre and free,
That ever yet upon this earth was seene,
Or that with diademe hath ever crowned beene.
The gentle knights rejoyced much to heare
The prayses of that prince so manifold,
And passing litle further, commen were
Where they a stately pallace did behold,
Of pompous show, much more then she had told;
With many towres and tarras mounted hye,
And all their tops bright glistering with gold,
That seemed to outshine the dimmed skye,
And with their brightnesse dazd the straunge beholders eye.
There they alighting, by that damzell were
Directed in, and shewed all the sight:
Whose porch, that most magnificke did appeare,
Stood open wyde to all men day and night;
Yet warded well by one of mickle might,
That sate thereby, with gyantlike resemblance,
To keepe out Guyle, and Malice, and Despight,
That under shew oftimes of fayned semblance
Are wont in princes courts to worke great scath and hindrance.
His name was Awe; by whom they passing in
Went up the hall, that was a large wyde roome,
All full of people making troublous din,
And wondrous noyse, as if that there were some
Which unto them was dealing righteous doome.
By whom they passing, through the thickest preasse,
The marshall of the hall to them did come;
His name hight Order, who, commaunding peace,
Them guyded through the throng, that did their clamors ceasse.
They ceast their clamors upon them to gaze;
Whom seeing all in armour bright as day,
Straunge there to see, it did them much amaze,
And with unwonted terror halfe affray:
For never saw they there the like array;
Ne ever was the name of warre there spoken,
But joyous peace and quietnesse alway,
Dealing just judgements, that mote not be broken
For any brybes, or threates of any to be wroken.
There as they entred at the scriene, they saw
Some one, whose tongue was for his trespasse vyle
Nayld to a post, adjudged so by law:
For that therewith he falsely did revyle
And foule blaspheme that queene for forged guyle,
Both with bold speaches which he blazed had,
And with lewd poems which he did compyle;
For the bold title of a poet bad
He on himselfe had taen, and rayling rymes had sprad.
Thus there he stood, whylest high over his head
There written was the purport of his sin,
In cyphers strange, that few could rightly read,
Bon font:
that once had written bin,
Was raced out, and
was now put in:
So now
was plainely to be red;
Eyther for th evill which he did therein,
Or that he likened was to a welhed
Of evill words, and wicked sclaunders by him shed.
They, passing by, were guyded by degree
Unto the presence of that gratious queene:
Who sate on high, that she might all men see,
And might of all men royally be seene,
Upon a throne of gold full bright and sheene,
Adorned all with gemmes of endlesse price,
As either might for wealth have gotten bene,
Or could be framd by workmans rare device;
And all embost with lyons and with flourdelice.
All over her a cloth of state was spred,
Not of rich tissew, nor of cloth of gold,
Nor of ought else that may be richest red,
But like a cloud, as likest may be told,
That her brode spreading wings did wyde unfold;
Whose skirts were bordred with bright sunny beams,
Glistring like gold, amongst the plights enrold,
And here and there shooting forth silver streames,
Mongst which crept litle angels through the glittering gleames.
Seemed those litle angels did uphold
The cloth of state, and on their purpled wings
Did beare the pendants, through their nimblesse bold:
Besides, a thousand more of such as sings
Hymnes to High God, and carols heavenly things,
Encompassed the throne on which she sate:
She angel-like, the heyre of ancient kings
And mightie conquerors, in royall state,
Whylest kings and kesars at her feet did them prostrate.
Thus she did sit in soverayne majestie,
Holding a scepter in her royall hand,
The sacred pledge of peace and clemencie,
With which High God had blest her happie land,
Maugre so many foes which did withstand.
But at her feet her sword was likewise layde,
Whose long rest rusted the bright steely brand;
Yet when as foes enforst, or friends sought ayde,
She could it sternely draw, that all the world dismayde.
And round about, before her feet there sate
A bevie of faire virgins clad in white,
That goodly seemd t adorne her royall state,
All lovely daughters of high Jove, that hight
Litæ, by him begot in loves delight
Upon the righteous Themis: those they say
Upon Joves judgement seat wayt day and night,
And when in wrath he threats the worlds decay,
They doe his anger calme, and cruell vengeance stay.
They also doe by his divine permission
Upon the thrones of mortall princes tend,
And often treat for pardon and remission
To suppliants, through frayltie which offend.
Those did upon Mercillaes throne attend:
Just Dice, wise Eunomie, myld Eirene;
And them amongst, her glorie to commend,
Sate goodly Temperance in garments clene,
And sacred Reverence, yborne of heavenly strene.
Thus did she sit in royall rich estate,
Admyrd of many, honoured of all,
An underneath her feete, there as she sate,
An huge great lyon lay, that mote appall
An hardie courage, like captived thrall,
With a strong yron chaine and coller bound,
That once he could not move, nor quich at all;
Yet did he murmure with rebellious sound,
And softly royne, when salvage choler gan redound.
So sitting high in dreaded soverayntie,
Those two strange knights were to her presence brought;
Who, bowing low before her majestie,
Did to her myld obeysance, as they ought,
And meekest boone that they imagine mought.
To whom she eke inclyning her withall,
As a faire stoupe of her high soaring thought,
A chearefull countenance on them let fall,
Yet tempred with some majestie imperiall.
As the bright sunne, what time his fierie teme
Towards the westerne brim begins to draw,
Gins to abate the brightnesse of his beme,
And fervour of his flames somewhat adaw:
So did this mightie ladie, when she saw
Those two strange knights such homage to her make,
Bate somewhat of that majestie and awe,
That whylome wont to doe so many quake,
And with more myld aspect those two to entertake.
Now at that instant, as occasion fell,
When these two stranger knights arrivd in place,
She was about affaires of common wele,
Dealing of justice with indifferent grace,
And hearing pleas of people meane and base.
Mongst which, as then, there was for to be heard
The tryall of a great and weightie case,
Which on both sides was then debating hard:
But at the sight of these, those were a while debard.
But after all her princely entertayne,
To th hearing of that former cause in hand
Her selfe eftsoones she gan convert againe;
Which that those knights likewise mote understand,
And witnesse forth aright in forrain land,
Taking them up unto her stately throne,
Where they mote heare the matter throughly scand
On either part, she placed th one on th one,
The other on the other side, and neare them none.
Then was there brought, as prisoner to the barre,
A ladie of great countenance and place,
But that she it with foule abuse did marre;
Yet did appeare rare beautie in her face,
But blotted with condition vile and base,
That all her other honour did obscure,
And titles of nobilitie deface:
Yet in that wretched semblant, she did sure
The peoples great compassion unto her allure.
Then up arose a person of deepe reach,
And rare in-sight, hard matters to revele;
That well could charme his tongue, and time his speach
To all assayes; his name was called Zele:
He gan that ladie strongly to appele
Of many haynous crymes, by her enured,
And with sharpe reasons rang her such a pele,
That those whom she to pitie had allured
He now t abhorre and loath her person had procured.
First gan he tell, how this, that seemd so faire
And royally arayd, Duessa hight,
That false Duessa, which had wrought great care
And mickle mischiefe unto many a knight,
By her beguyled and confounded quight:
But not for those she now in question came,
Though also those mote questiond be aright,
But for vyld treasons and outrageous shame,
Which she against the dred Mercilla oft did frame.
For she whylome (as ye mote yet right well
Remember) had her counsels false conspyred
With faithlesse Blandamour and Paridell,
(Both two her paramours, both by her hyred,
And both with hope of shadowes vaine inspyred.)
And with them practizd, how for to depryve
Mercilla of her crowne, by her aspyred,
That she might it unto her selfe deryve,
And tryumph in their blood, whom she to death did dryve.
But through high heavens grace, which favour not
The wicked driftes of trayterous desynes
Gainst loiall princes, all this cursed plot,
Ere proofe it tooke, discovered was betymes,
And th actours won the meede meet for their crymes.
Such be the meede of all that by such mene
Unto the type of kingdomes title clymes.
But false Duessa, now untitled queene,
Was brought to her sad doome, as here was to be seene.
Strongly did Zele her haynous fact enforce,
And many other crimes of foule defame
Against her brought, to banish all remorse,
And aggravate the horror of her blame.
And with him to make part against her, came
Many grave persons, that against her pled:
First was a sage old syre, that had to name
The Kingdomes Care, with a white silver hed,
That many high regards and reasons gainst her red.
Then gan Authority her to appose
With peremptorie powre, that made all mute;
And then the Law of Nations gainst her rose,
And reasons brought, that no man could refute;
Next gan Religion gainst her to impute
High Gods beheast, and powre of holy lawes;
Then gan the Peoples Cry and Commons Sute
Importune care of their owne publicke cause;
And lastly Justice charged her with breach of lawes.
But then for her, on the contrarie part,
Rose many advocates for her to plead:
First there came Pittie, with full tender hart,
And with her joynd Regard of Womanhead;
And then came Daunger, threatning hidden dread
And high alliance unto forren powre;
Then came Nobilitie of Birth, that bread
Great ruth through her misfortunes tragicke stowre;
And lastly Griefe did plead, and many teares forth powre.
With the neare touch whereof in tender hart
The Briton Prince was sore empassionate,
And woxe inclined much unto her part,
Through the sad terror of so dreadfull fate,
And wretched ruine of so high estate,
That for great ruth his courage gan relent.
Which when as Zele perceived to abate,
He gan his earnest fervour to augment,
And many fearefull objects to them to present.
He gan t efforce the evidence anew,
And new accusements to produce in place:
He brought forth that old hag of hellish hew,
The cursed Ate, brought her face to face,
Who privie was, and partie in the case:
She, glad of spoyle and ruinous decay,
Did her appeach, and, to her more disgrace,
The plot of all her practise did display,
And all her traynes and all her treasons forth did lay.
Then brought he forth, with griesly grim aspect,
Abhorred Murder, who with bloudie knyfe
Yet dropping fresh in hand did her detect,
And there with guiltie bloudshed charged ryfe:
Then brought he forth Sedition, breeding stryfe
In troublous wits, and mutinous uprore:
Then brought he forth Incontinence of Lyfe,
Even foule Adulterie her face before,
And lewd Impietie, that her accused sore.
All which when as the Prince had heard and seene,
His former fancies ruth he gan repent,
And from her partie eftsoones was drawen cleene.
But Artegall, with constant firme intent,
For zeale of justice was against her bent.
So was she guiltie deemed of them all.
Then Zele began to urge her punishment,
And to their queene for judgement loudly call,
Unto Mercilla myld, for justice gainst the thrall.
But she, whose princely breast was touched nere
With piteous ruth of her so wretched plight,
Though plaine she saw, by all that she did heare,
That she of death was guiltie found by right,
Yet would not let just vengeance on her light;
But rather let in stead thereof to fall
Few perling drops from her faire lampes of light;
The which she covering with her purple pall
Would have the passion hid, and up arose withall.

My Gene Tests - So What's My Risk?
cassP replied to purplemaryjane's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomsmy advice is: you have a dq2 & a dq8, you have SO MANY of the Gluten intolerant & Celiac symptoms, you've been on 2months now of heavy gluten eating.... ! Get a full Celiac panel NOW, and then GO OFF Gluten forever.. having 2 Celiac specific genes, PLUS having all the symptoms, and already having Anklosing Spondolitis.. i would assume if i was u, that continuing to eat gluten is a sure route to developing celiac (if you dont already have it)... many times- our antibodies dont show up on blood panels, and the damage to our S.I. doesnt show up on biopsies- untill the damage is already substantial... just my personal opinion.. good luck to u, i hope u get a panel done now, since u have a better chance of getting an accurate reading since uve been eating it... also get the Total Iga Serum to see if you're Iga deficient, cause then all your Celiac panels could be false readings

Looking For A 1200 Calorie Diet
cassP replied to csteht's topic in Gluten-Free Diet & Weight Issueswhat are u eating? is there a type of diet you're trying?? do u have any thyroid issues?? i have been on every diet in the world, and ive been dancing & dieting my whole life, even had a bout with anorexia.. i can say with all my experience- yes, exercise is great for your immune system, mental state, & quality of sleep- & great for your musculoskeletal system- but the foods that i eat and the amount have the BIGGEST influence on my figure- way more than exercise i truly exercise now to stay sane, to help tone down my autoimmune diseases, and also- exercise really helps with posture & chronic pain... and studies have shown that women who exercise (regardless of their weight)- tend to feel happier with their bodies than those who don't
Daughter Dxd Dh Celiac, Went gluten-free, But Dh Persists
cassP replied to Grace's mom's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisYES- i ALSO recommend SILVER.. i totally forgot i put it on my rash too... calmed it down a little bit while i healed and detoxified of gluten
Any More Blood Tests That Could Be Done?
cassP replied to Kat L's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomshey that's so interesting that your doc was concerned about Parathyroid with low D, ihad never heard of that before. what about a full thyroid check up? have u had that??? so many of us have both Celiac & thyroid disease, and many that are Gluten intolerant or gluten sensitive also have thyroid disease. Thyroid disease ALSO screws up your digestion- cause you make less of everything-> including stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, motility , etc my opinion is that a Vitamin D deficiency often points to Autoimmune Activity... your immune system needs D3 to work properly-> and when you're autoimmune you use it all up. also- your B12 is TOO LOW.. you should strive to get it above 500 or 600... alot of our "ranges" in the U.S. are way too big and are more interested in Disease Management instead of Healthcare
Any More Blood Tests That Could Be Done?
cassP replied to Kat L's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomssorry, i hate to give bad info... it was only what i had read before while researching :/ but in original posters post of what doc wrote- the EMA DOES reach up to 100%, more than the others if im not mistaken
Genetic Testing
cassP replied to Mary5757's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac Diseasei did genetic testing thru enterolab .. it was about 150$ im happy i spent the money!
Very Upset.. Told Blood Tests Are 90% Accurate! Help!
cassP replied to lmc22's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomsi never had the endoscopy- and wouldnt know how to read it- BUT maybe others on here could for you most doctors and medical journals in the US are just behind on this disease- they think it's only from DQ2 and DQ8-> but overseas they are diagnosing Celiacs with different DQ#s. believe me, it wont be the first or last time your doctors dont know anything... sorry im bitter and frustrated :/
Any More Blood Tests That Could Be Done?
cassP replied to Kat L's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomsthe Endomysial antibodies were not tested on you. it's 100% specific to Celiac. im also curious which vitamin levels were tested on you and what was low! there are certain ones and more that are so common in those with Celiac, Gluten intolerance, Thyroid Disease, or anyone with digestive issues and some autoimmune disease. ie: D3, iron & ferritin, B12, etc, etc,... Folate, Magnesium..
Very Upset.. Told Blood Tests Are 90% Accurate! Help!
cassP replied to lmc22's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomsdid u have ALL the antibodies tested???? this is such a hard disease to diagnose- you really need ALL antibodies tested- not just the ttg for example. PLUS if you are LOW in IGA serum, then your iga antibodies will be innacurately low. please consider going GLUTEN FREE even if you don't get a 100% dx.... i felt like i needed the dx as well, but now i know that the damage gluten can do to your body & mind is EXTENSIVE and not just localized to Celiac. i had no idea till after my Celiac self diagnosis-> just HOW MUCH Gluten had EXACERBATed my Graves it could do all kinds of things like lead to Crohns, colitis, diverticulitis, cancer, thyroid disease, ataxia, etc etc etc educate yourself- and dont rely soley on doctors- my Gi actually told me to get online- he said that they just dont know enough- and that i would find others online who would know more! both my Gi AND my Integrative Doctor believe that Celiac is more of a spectrum, and that quite possibly (far enough into the future)- 30% of the population (with the dq genes) might all develop Celiac. also- you dont have to have the classic celiac genes (dq2 and dq8) to have it.. others on here have been diagnosed with DQs with different #s like DQ9, DQ1, etc
Advice Needed For Almost 5 Year Old
cassP replied to thegirlsmom's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac Diseasefound this on a google search... gotta go to bed.. anyone still there??? ive been having a lot of bladder issues past year since my last UTI... off and on feeling like i have another UTI and often it happens after i eat yogurt or bananas... which is extemely weird!! didnt happen before... i DID notice in the past 4 years as i went gluten free- the bladder fullness & inflammation would happen when i had gluten or when i had too much Frucotse... then i also adapted a modified Low Fodmap diet - and i would only eat a 1/2 very ripe banana to avoid the high fructose- was always fine... but now bananas mess my bladder up BIG TIME also when i was a child- i was a VERY FREQUENT Bed Wetter - even having a few episodes as an adult-> also as a kid & teen (& 20s)- i could NEVER hold my bladder EVER when i laughed... at least i know im not alone :/
Only Doing The Ttg Test?
cassP replied to smpalesh's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptomsit's a very basic start to looking at your health- but with the celiac portion being only the TTG, and the thyroid portion only being the TSH... you're very likely to be UNdiagnosed when there could actually be something to diagnose... my Endomysial Antibody (part of a Celiac panel) was my only solid positive... and my TSH didnt go above 5 untill i was 34 or 35 years old- when my thyroid had actually started to fail when i was a child. good luck to you and continue to research especially on here... know your ranges because the doctors rarely do...
Daughter Dxd Dh Celiac, Went gluten-free, But Dh Persists

Old Hag Syndrome / Sleep Paralysis
cassP replied to nb-canada's topic in Celiac Disease - Sleepi searched and found this thread- because i had this paralysis THIS MORNING!!!!! i believe it could be gluten related-> as SOME Celiacs get Narcolepsy & Apnea-> so i ASSUME that Sleep Paralysis and other sleep disorders could be caused by gluten. im a little nervous tho- because i only had these episodes about 5 times maybe- on and off from Mid 90s to around 2005... all pre Celiac DX and pre-gluten free. so WHY this morning???? i know its *possible* that im getting too much through <20ppm gluten free junk food or cross contamination... BUT enough to bring on symptoms that i havent felt in YEARS????
Restaurants In Cape Cod, Ma?
cassP replied to Cheryl_C's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurantsoh i am SO SO SO happy i found this thread!!! im going to Cape Cod in August for the first time ever, and i really need to know my gluten free options!!! especially since most of our eating will be out :/ we're staying at my bf's grandmothers- and he says her fridge is always STUFFED im worried, i need SOME room, and i really need daily veggies for regularity :/ oy....
Airport Security And Supplements?
cassP replied to Ninja's topic in Gluten-Free Travelnot a silly question.. i was wondering the same thing.. i havent flown in almost 2 years.. and im going to be flying in August... now that ive been dx w/thyroid crap- and i now have my Armour & Cytomel ... im starting to think i need to buy 1 supplement that has all the rest in one capsule.. cause i take A LOT of stuff... and i cant just carry my L-Glutamine Powder in a baggie... so i was wondering if i should buy something like Celiact ?? funny too- im watching Jane Fonda on tv now- explaining how when she was arrested for "smuggling drugs thru Canada"- all she had was her daily compartments of vitamins :/ ya, annoying- cause i depend on SO many different supplements: vit d, l-glutamine, b12, selenium, blah blah blah... then my Armour & Cytomel which i CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT.... plus u got all the things we need for emergency- like Gas-x, and Zantac, Digestive Enzymes, Xanax, Advil, Advil pm..
