Wheat Allergies and Wheat Allergy Symptoms
What are Wheat Allergies?
Wheat allergy is a type of food allergy, that is caused by an abnormal immune system reaction to one or more proteins that are found in wheat. In order to develop a wheat allergy, you need to eat wheat at least once. This allows the immune system to be exposed to the protein. After the body is exposed, the immune system then learns to identify these proteins, and when these proteins are introduced in the body again, the body attacks them with histamines triggering an allergic reaction. Additionally, wheat allergies are one of the eight most common food allergies , and is more common in children. It affects about six percent of children under the age of three and is much less common in adults. Wheat allergies are often confused with Celiac Disease, but they are not the same thing.
Wheat Allergy Symptoms
There are many symptoms that are caused by wheat allergies, however the most common ones are associated with three classic allergy symptoms:
- eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- asthma
- anaphylaxis (very rarely)
Other symptoms:
- Swelling, itching or irritation of the mouth or throat
- Hives, itchy rash or swelling of the skin
- Nasal congestion
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Difficulty breathing
- Cramps, nausea or vomiting

Some people that have wheat allergies may face a life threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Some signs and symptoms of this are:
- Swelling or tightness of the throat
- Chest pain or tightness
- Severe difficulty breathing
- Trouble swallowing
- Pale, blue skin color
- Dizziness or fainting
- Weak pulse

Pearls have adorned the wealthy and powerful for thousands of years.
Natural Pearl Formation
Natural Freshwater pearls are formed within a mussel. Mussels are filter feeders. They extract nutrients from microscopic particles and organisms in the water that flows through them.
Cultured Pearl Beginnings
Historical records show that freshwater blister pearls were first successfully cultured over 700 years ago. These blister pearls that were grown against the shell of the mussels.
Freshwater Pearls in History
One of the largest natural pearls in existence today is the Hope Pearl. It belonged to its namesake - Henry Phillip Hope.
As a result, some irregular shaped, lustrous freshwater pearls are referred to as "Biwas" but only pearls produced in this area should be referred to in this manner.

Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Virginia released the first two pages of his 2012 tax return on Wednesday.
The return includes how much money the former DNC Chairman made in 2012, how much he claimed in deductions and how much he paid in taxes. NBC12 was given a copy of the summary to review, but agreed to not publish or share the actual document.
It doesn't however reveal where his earnings in 2012 came from specifically.
McAuliffe brought in a total of just over $9.5 million. He claimed deductions of more than $1 million and paid taxes on roughly $8.3 million.
His total tax rate came in at 33%.
The bulk of McAuliffe's earnings comes from "business income", a total of $6.1 million. He also earned more than $2.1 million in capital gains profits and more than $444 thousand in real estate.
The former DNC Chair earned $417,191 in wages, but exactly where those wages are from are not clear from the summary. However, on McAuliffe's statement of economic interest, the only company he lists as receiving an income from is GreenTech Automotive. GreenTech is the controversial electric car company that McAuliffe founded. The Cuccinelli campaign has repeatedly attacked the candidate for his role in the company and its affiliates. There are two separate federal investigations into GreenTech and its related companies.
The McAuliffe campaign has been dogged by Republicans who have asked for complete tax returns from a number of years. Their candidate Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli provided reporters eight years of full tax returns and argued that McAuliffe should be held to the same standard that he held the GOP nominee for president Mitt Romney to in the 2012 campaign.
McAuliffe has resisted that call and continued to do so as the time leading up to the vote begins to slip away.
"Terry is continuing to go above and beyond Virginia's requirements and traditions," said spokesman Josh Schwerin. "In contrast, Ken Cuccinelli failed to disclose his gifts and stock holdings in Star Scientific even while his office was supposed to be pursing them for unpaid taxes."
Republicans, not surprisingly, are not impressed. They accused McAuliffe of hiding key aspects of his financial history that would be of interest to voters.
"This is not going to cut it," said Cuccinelli spokesman Richard Cullen. "By sharing two pages of wholly inadequate summaries with a few reporters, McAuliffe is once again insulting the intelligence of Virginians and showing that he is unwilling to come clean with the people he aspires to lead."
Cullen argued that the GOP call is especially urgent, given the new revelation that McAuliffe was investor in a scheme that sent a Rhode Island businessman to jail.
McAullife has repeatedly denied any involvment with Joseph Caramadre's illegal activity.
"Days after it was revealed that he made money off of the terminally ill, Terry McAuliffe is scrambling to show he has nothing to hide," Cullen said.
The election is now 20 days away.

OPELIKA, AL (WTVM) - For the first time in 22 years, the City of Opelika has named a new Chief of Police.
After reviewing 52 applications for the position, Mayor Gary Fuller decided to bring in Opelika native and veteran of the Opelika police force, John McEachern.
"It was not an easy decision, but I think I made the right decision with John and he'll do a great job," explains Fuller.
Chief McEachern was with the Opelika police department from 1974 to 1988 serving in various positions on the force, before joining the Federal Bureau of Investigations for 24 years.
"I look forward to not only working with the officers of the Police Department, but the City Council and the Mayor and just constantly striving to grow as a department and have a place in this community to where again the people will be proud that they have a fine law enforcement agency," says McEachern.
Mayor Fuller says the major reason for McEachern's selection was his experience.
After leaving OPD, McEachern worked for the FBI throughout the nation and had responsibilities ranging from white collar crimes to the violent crime squad in Las Angeles, concentrating on gangs.
"His experience of law enforcement, his knowledge of working with other agencies is great. It's very important that the Opelika Police Chief, the Auburn Police Department, the Lee County Sheriff's Department, the Alabama State Troopers, you know as John said, we're all in this together," says Fuller.
With his knowledge and expertise in the law enforcement field, McEachern is excited to once again serve the people of Opelika.
"I've got a lot of friends in these departments and there is no doubt in my mind that we are going to work well together serving all the citizens, not just of Opelika, citizens of auburn and citizens of lee county," explains McEachern.
Chief McEachern's first day of duty will be Monday, April 15, 2013.

Discussion in 'The Bar' started by dawg, Sep 30, 2010.
I got nothing at the moment
this site rulez
Come on dont be scared. No rules in this thread just us.
Just no porn please.
Why is GHP a VIP here?
Bleeding Gums AV is disgusting.
Good question thanks.
My staff warned me about having VIP's but did i listen? No! It was a mistake to make anyone a VIP (Sorry GHP, i still love you) But i now realize no forum should have them. We will no longer be adding any VIP titles. The VIP's that exist now will remain in title only, as far as membership is concerned they are like everyone else.
Excellent reply dude. Thanks for the answer. I think your current thoughts on the matter are solid.
And we will stick to that decision, you have our word.
Welcome to my life
Why is Mutt such a bitch?
Why ask this here? I dont know Mutt nor have i had any conversations with the man.
Just flaming away . Hopin someone got a chuckle, thats all.
Why did you make this site dude? Did you get bummed out with the other place?
IMHO, you seemed to have been a pretty heavy hitter over there.
Truthfully? Mults. I have no idea who i am talking to anymore.
Dawg, I like your place a lot. It is attractive and runs like greased lightning. I appreciate your candor about the VIPS, that is reassuring. Account policy = great! In short, you've done a lot right here, you and all your helpers should rightly be proud. Best of luck building your user community, you have a great start with the folks that are here already.
It's like a construction site. We are trying out different tiles etc.. Have we made mistakes so far? Of course. But we are working hard to correct them.
there are too many sub-forums -- i get confused!
that's not much of a flame
Actually my brother, we don't even have one sub forum Those are all forums. I fill them with content when i have time. The more information we have the more people will find us on Google searching for shit. In time it will pay off, it just takes time. don't expect miracles overnight. I predict within 1 year we should have a big membership. I know that sounds like a long time but thats what it takes to make a site.

Artist/Activist Lisa Anne Auerbach
Lisa Anne Auerbach is well known for her politicized knitwear—sweaters and other types of clothing hand and machine knit that include symbols or text that have a political meaning. But in addition to knitting, she has also been working with other forms of textiles, photographs, zines, and in gouache. She is interested in the ways in which humans communicate with each other, especially non-verbally through architecture and symbolism.
During the election, Auerbach developed a series called "Make America," a spin-off of Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Auerbach said that,
"during the 2016 Presidential Election, one of the candidate's slogans was "Make America Great Again," which of course implies that America is currently not "great" but once was and could be again. I have no idea what he's talking about, but I have some ideas for other things America might prioritize in the future."
Since the election, she has continued with this "Make America" series but instead of in red, blue, and white, she is now working in black and white, resonating the sense of hopelessness many Americans are feeling—or symbolically representing the stark contrast between Obama and Trump's version of America.
Auerbach said of the painting "Hurt People Hurt People" that, "One of my students said this in class in reference to bullying and I thought, "well, wow, maybe that explains it." Hurt people like to blast off missiles and then they don't hurt enough people so they drop a giant bomb and that doesn't hurt enough people so they try to defund Planned Parenthood… I don't feel sorry for the guy because he's hurt; I just want him to take his slithering, destroyed, impaired and crackpot brain and get it someplace where he can't hurt any more people. Outer space would be fine, as long as he can't tweet from there."
Auerbach has some words of wisdom for all of us resisting the agenda of hate. "You think it can't get any worse; then the sun comes up and a new day brings even more chaos and scandal. The challenge is to stay informed but not let it make you nuts. Don't go on total news strike, just take a day off. Don't cancel your newspaper subscription; without a functioning press we are sunk. Take time to pull weeds or listen to some music or go on a hike. It's Saturday and a beautiful day even though it seems like everything is shattering, the waters are rising, the air is clouding and our leadership is a simmering crock pot of madmen."
Consider purchasing one of her grayscale paintings; the income from these works is being donated to organizations working to help Americans when the government fails them.

With two finals over and two U-17 Boys quarter-finals having already identified in the ongoing 57th Subroto Cup International football tournament, the concentration in the last leg of the event was back to the remaining Junior Boys pool matches which got underway both at the Dr. Ambedkar Stadium and NWC grounds today.

Clube Atlético Paranaense from Brazil sounded a big warning to the rest of the team in fray with a 11-0 win over Mohun Bagan FC at the Dr. Ambedkar Stadium in the afternoon match in pool G but Central Coast Mariners FC from Australia was caught on the wrong foot when it went down 0-2 to Shillong Lajong FC in pool H.
However, Tata Football Academy, Jamshedpur, defeated FC Pune City 2-0 and the Afghanistan National Football team scored 1-0 triumph over DSK Shivajians LIFA when Sadiq Zahire hit the target in the 42nd minute in pool G.
The boys of the Brazilian team dominated from start to finish, opening with a second-minute goal and ending the match with a goal in the 70th minute. J. Victor M Gomes, Bruno Da Silva Coasta scored three goals each while Danilo Santana (2), Kennedy Zaneti, Pedro Ramos and Andre Domingos scored to seal the fate of the Kolkata club side.
Lyngdoh scored both the goals against the Australian team as the boys from Meghalaya were too strong and methodical in their approach. Kilong and Dipak Rajak were the scorers for the TFA.
In the morning matches played at the Dr. Ambedkar Stadium, Junior National Talent Scouting Project JLN Stadium, New Delhi (SAI) beat Ukhrul Hr Sec School from Manipur 3-0 in pool E with Shijit, Arif and Karan scoring the for the winners as they led 2-0 in the first half.
In other matches in the same pool played at NWC, Air Force Bal Bharti School, Lodi Road, New Delhi, scored a 2-0 victory over Shri Guru Govind Singh Sports College, Lucknow, while it was Sudhannya Debbarma Memorial HS School from Tripura handed out a similar verdict against M.W.E Hr School, Nagar Panchayat Chhetra from Munger (Bihar).
It was a one-man show in both as Karan scored a brace for the Delhi outfit and Vatra Sadhan Jamatia scored a goal in each half for Tripura.
As for pool F matches, Namchi Public School, South Sikkim, struck half a dozen goals against Govt. Senior Secondary School from Car Nicobar, without a reply. Govt High School, Lunglei (Mizoram) drew 1-1 with DG NCC and Banimandir Railway H.S. School from Siliguri defeated Bangladesh Defence Shaheen College 4-0 to start their campaign on a bright note.

The Namchi schoolboys played with full of verve throughout the 70 minutes of game, having opened their account as early as in the fourth minute through Silash Rai and completed a hat-trick by the beginning of the second session. The Sikkim boys added three more Gyurmee, Sonam D. Bhutia and Bishal Rai.
After Koushik Das put NCC ahead towards the end of first half, Silvana equalised in the injury time just before the final hooter was sounded. For the Railways, Joydeep Das, failed to complete a hat-trick, while Kingshuk Datta was the other scorer for them.

Eric Fraser: Indian Classical Music and the Metaphysics of Sound
Friday March 3, 2017 @ 7:00 pm$18
The entire tradition of Indian classical music rests on an ancient metaphysical system of tuning, with notes being defined by microtones. Within this tuning, the notes have the power to still our minds, and bring us into transformational states of healing. The Indian Ragas are rooted in the experience of connecting consciousness to the universe through music, with pure tuning as the vehicle.
In this two hour workshop, Music Therapist and Indian bansuri flute virtuoso Eric Fraser will demonstrate and guide us experientially on how to tune our minds and bodies using Indian Ragas. We will use our voices to sing the subtle notes of a Raga, and hear how the notes are tuned on acoustic instruments.
Eric Fraser is an exponent of a unique vocal style of North-Indian flute playing and has been learning intensively through annual trips to Kolkata, India from his guru Pandit Gopal Roy since 2003. Eric's playing rings with authenticity and pure tone, imbibing the soul of Indian classical music.
Eric is a Fulbright senior research scholar for Indian music and has performed with renowned maestros of Indian music including Pandit Krishna Bhatt, Pandit Ramesh Mishra, Steve Gorn and Bollywood composer A.R Rahman at Carnegie Hall, including radio performances (NPR morning edition and WKCR New York). He has a diverse background playing for Indian classical dance, as well as in projects ranging from Jazz, World, India and more. A founding member of the Brooklyn Raga Massive, Eric's involvement in the musical community is far reaching. Aside from playing Indian classical flute, Eric is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and music therapist (MA, MT-BC).
Tickets $18 in advance, $20 at the door.
Who's Attending
6 people are attending Eric Fraser: Indian Classical Music and the Metaphysics of Sound

La Liga 2016/17: Gareth Bale names Luka Modric as the most hard-working player in training
There was once a time when Gareth Bale named Cristiano Ronaldo for basically everything. During his time at Tottenham Hotspur, a fan once took to Twitter to ask him his opinion on who the best player in the world was. And he, like we all know, said Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, now, when asked about who is the hardest working player at Real Madrid's training session, he didn't name the Portuguese. "For me, Luka Modric," Bale told talkSPORT.
"He's the best trainer. He always seems to always be consistent and seeing passes that no one else sees," the Welshman went on to add.
The reason he gave for his choice is simple: he has been with him for a long time, bonding from during their stay in London, and the affection they share for each other is blatantly apparent.
Also read: La Liga 2016-17: Gareth Bale seeking parity with Cristiano Ronaldo in his new contract with Real Madrid
"Obviously being with him at Tottenham and here at Real Madrid, I've been able to witness it many times," Bale said.
The duo have been team-mates for 7 years, four of which were spent at White Hart Lane and three of which is ongoing at Real Madrid. While Luka Modric joined Spurs a year after the Welshman, he left the club a year earlier.
Gareth Bale soon followed, though, as he became the most expensive purchase in the history of football when Real Madrid signed him in 2013.
It seems as though lady luck has smiled on the Galacticos ever since the two joined them. The Madridistas were waiting for decades to see their beloved club lift the unprecedented La Decima and it was only when Gareth Bale and Luka Modric appeared in the capital city did this happen.
Indeed, Real Madrid won their 11th Champions League title last summer and have a shot at defending it and Gareth Bale will have extra motivation since the final is going to be held in Cardiff.
However, the only thing that they lack in their thus-far illustrious Real Madrid career is a La Liga title. They came close to winning it in 2014, but a late-season mini-implosion meant that Atletico Madrid went on to lift the trophy under Diego Simeone.
Gareth Bale has represented the Merengues in 132 games, scoring 61 goals in the process while Luka Modric has donned the White shirt in 180 games, scoring 11 goals and making an uncountable number of attacks while at it.
The Croat is currently out injured and Real Madrid fans will be hoping that he will be back as soon as possible; after all, their title hopes hold a lot of weight on his shoulders.

University Hosts International Canon Law Congress
The Catholic University of America's School of Canon Law hosted the XV International Congress of Canon Law Sept. 17 – 21. This was the first time the congress of the Consociatio Internationalis Studio Iuris Canonici Promovendo, the international association of canon lawyers, has been held in the United States.
More than 250 canon lawyers and civil lawyers representing 24 countries were on hand to explore this year's topic "Crime and Punishment: Nature, Problems, and Perspectives of Canonical Penal Law and Its Relation to Civil Law." The congress, held on campus in the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center and at the Columbus School of Law, was co-sponsored by the School of Canon Law, the only ecclesiastical faculty of canon law in the United States, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The opening of the congress included remarks by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington and Chancellor of The Catholic University of America; University President John Garvey; Monsignor Patrick Valdrini, president of the Consociatio; and Rev. Robert Kaslyn, S.J., dean of the School of Canon Law.
"I believe the work of the congress will be of great value to the Church," said Garvey in welcoming attendees to the University. "In taking up both theoretical questions concerning the penal code, and practical inquiries about the implications of amending it, the 15th International Congress can make an important contribution to the Church's revision of Book Six of the Code of Canon Law."
|Kurt Martens, associate professor of canon law and editor of The Jurist, organized the international congress.
The Keynote address on "Jurisdiction of Civil Courts and the Role of Canon Law" was delivered by Jeffrey Lena, counsel to the Holy See. The five-day congress also included several addresses by international leaders in canon law along with daily plenary sessions and seminars. Simultaneous translations were provided during plenary sessions in English, Italian, and Spanish. The general assembly and elections by members of the Consociatio also took place. Participants took time during the congress to attend a special celebration of Holy Mass, and to visit George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate in northern Virginia.
"It was definitely a source of pride for all of us in the School of Canon Law as well as the University to host our canon law colleagues from around the world," said Kurt Martens, associate professor of canon law and organizer of the congress. "To have so many scholars from around the world come together to discuss how we deal with issues and problems that are unique to our various cultures and local settings, but have implications for the Church as a whole is a unique opportunity." Martens is editor of The Jurist, the only scholarly peer-reviewed journal of canon law in the United States.
The texts of the major presentations and seminars will be published in the Acts of the Congress by The Catholic University of America Press.

India boxer Mary Kom set for semi-final
Indian boxer MC Mary Kom is set to take on Britain's Nicola Adams in the women's boxing Olympic semi-finals.
This ensures she will win at least a bronze medal at the London games.
Excitement is running high in India over the 29-year-old, five-time world champion boxer, who comes from the remote north-eastern state of Manipur.
Mary Kom's bronze will be India's fourth medal at London 2012, which is higher than the previous best of three medals at the Beijing Games.
Women's boxing is making its Olympics debut at London but that is not the only reason Mary Kom is making history, says the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi.
The mother of twin boys is tiny - just over 5ft with small shoulders - but her punch is lethal.
She is is fighting in a higher weight category than she is used to, which means most of her opponents are much bigger than her.
Manipur, her home state, is on the Burmese border and in one of India's most neglected regions.
It is home to violent insurgents and drug traffickers and has tasted little of the development that the rest of India has.
Even her features are more Asian than Indian and many in her own country think she comes from China or Thailand.
But Mary Kom is role model in Manipur and many are hoping she will help put her state and India more firmly in the limelight.

Last summer, we wrote about Eric Jones, an Eagle Scout at a camp in St. Joseph who was forced to leave the organization after twelve years, because he told the camp director he was gay. That violated the Boy Scouts of America's clear anti-gay policy, though Jones, a sophomore at Missouri State at the time, said that being open about his sexuality went along with Boy Scout pledges to be "morally strong."
But now, an individual in Jones' position might not have to choose between being open or being out the door. This week, Boy Scouts of America nationally announced that it is reconsidering its ban on gay members with a possible policy change that would allow local organizations to decide whether to be discriminatory.
If given the opportunity, will the Greater St. Louis Area Council of the Boy Scouts become more inclusive?

Reached by Daily RFT yesterday, Joe Mueller, spokesman for the Greater St. Louis Area Council, gave only a vague response when asked about future St. Louis policy.
That's likely because the national statement, full version on view below, does not include any clear commitments of change. That statement released on Monday from Deron Smith, BSA director of public relations, says, in part:
Currently, the BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, and the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with each organization's mission, principles, or religious beliefs. BSA members and parents would be able to choose a local unit that best meets the needs of their families.
The statement reiterates that the change is "under discussion."
In response, Mueller has posted a statement on the St. Louis local website, which says in part:
Any changes or updates to the National Council's policies will be communicated by the Greater St. Louis Area Council to its chartering organizations, volunteer leaders, parents, youth members and the general public. Our council will continue to focus on working with a wide range of organizations to deliver a program of character development and values-based leadership training to more than 57,000 young people.
Mueller tells Daily RFT, "This is something that is being reviewed at the national council level.... The local council has a charter with the national council. We will abide by the programs and policies that are set forth by the nation council."
It appears that if the whole organization does remove its ban -- leaving it up to local groups to decide -- there could still potentially be a range of policies in the St. Louis Council groups.
Mueller says that the BSA Greater St. Louis Council works with a wide range of "chartering organizations," such as schools, churches, community groups and others that under new policy could all in theory make their own individual decisions about banning members based on sexual orientation.
Asked whether the St. Louis Council overall supports this change -- the opportunity not to discriminate -- he says, "We are just waiting to see what is communicated [from the national level]."

The forecast was for sunny 60 degree weather by 3pm, but at 5am, it was downright cold. The starts of the 40, 20, and 8 mile races were each staggered by an hour, so as an 8 miler, I had a lot of time to kill. I chatted with John as Mark and Amy kicked off their 40 mile adventure. I took pictures and cheered as John disappeared up the hill on his 20 miler, and then returned to the van to keep warm and wait for the minutes to tick past. I had run a 15k the previous weekend and felt pretty good, so I was optimistic that I'd have a pretty good run. I was extremely excited for my first real trail race.
An hour later, I am skidding around a hairpin turn, spraying frozen mud and wet leaves everywhere as I try to dodge the loose rocks and roots all over the trail. I find myself almost wishing to be back on the thigh burning uphills because they were less scary. Almost.
When I hit my third uphill, the momentum and adrenaline wear off. I am still hanging with a small group of runners, but a few of us slow all the way to a walk. As a fairly experienced racer, it takes a significant swallowing of pride to accept this. It helps to not be the only one. I soon learn, though, that pride is the least of my worries. High school physics is a bigger concern, as I learn the hard way that Newton was right: objects at rest tend to stay at rest. As the hill levels off, convincing my reluctant legs that we really do want to start running again is difficult. Slowly my stride opens up a bit, until I lurch into next downhill. Wash, rinse, and repeat. It helps to have a bad short-term memory.

These days, James King plays saxophone in the pop band Fitz and the Tantrums, but he used to play zydeco in one of our fine Vegas lounges.
During King's struggling years, he took a job in a zydeco band at the Orleans casino after the hotel opened, while he took a year off from studying jazz at the California Institute for the Arts.
"It was like being in the trenches as a musician," King tells me. "It's a lot of long hours, and you have to know a lot of songs.
"You may play to a couple of dejected gamblers, or you may play to a room full of people. That was a big, formative experience."
This Thursday, King will take the stage at the Cosmopolitan pool with Fitz & the Tantrums, and he will not take that pop stardom for granted, since he remembers the Vegas hustle.
"There's a whole army of musicians out there that are in the trenches doing that lounge work, and doing club work, and doing weddings, and every job imaginable.
"I am very aware I am in the minority right now of sax players, woodwind players, and any jazz instrumentalist that has a role out front in a recognized band on the pop charts," he says. "It's really fortunate."
This spring, King returned to Vegas when his band opened for Bruno Mars at the Thomas & Mack Center for a private Google party.
"When you think 'Employee Convention,' you don't really think Thomas & Mack Arena," King says. "But Google had, I think, every sales partner from around the world at this convention."
King and his band of schooled musicians learned something from Mars, the pop star.
"He put on such an amazing performance. We said, 'We really have to step up our game. This guy is such a consummate performer. His band is so tight.'
"It's been a great summer (touring) with him. Bruno has been gracious at every turn and really supportive, and so nice to us."
King worked hard to mesh his jazz and pop sensibilities. He was raised by a jazz guitarist father and a cellist mother.
"I was going to flute lessons and practicing saxophone and flute for hours of day," he says. "The girls I had crushes on were into Depeche Mode or Bon Jovi or 2 Live Crew. I was like, 'OK, how do I connect the dots here?'"
Then he got into ska and reggae. In the seventh grade, King got into David Bowie — not that that made him more popular.
"As a short kid, it doesn't matter that you play saxophone. You still get stuffed in the trash can."
He has spent his career fashioning a signature sound, earning gigs with Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo, Mariah Carey, M83, Tony Bennett, Jimmy Cliff and even "Spongebob Sqaurepants."
Thursday, when Fitz performs their single "More Than Just A Dream" (from the movie "Out of My League"), you will notice King's sax is learned and crafty.
"I take a solo on it every night, and it's not your Clarence Clemons rock and roll thing. I'm coming at it more from a Pharoah Sanders" angle.
If you worked with King in Vegas, Tweet him (@jkingsax).

From '3:10 to Yuma' to 'Heat' - Are These the Best Casting Gimmicks in Movies?
Casting gimmicks are a bit out of hand in Hollywood right now. The Expendables might have been both the peak and the breaking point for the concept (while the all-female version of The Expendables is overkill), which isn't just about putting big names together but also requires some extra-textual significance to the idea. For example, the just-greenlit Grudge Match will star Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro as rival boxers returning to the ring, which is a blatant cash in on the kitsch factor of seeing "Rocky Balboa" (Rocky) and "Jake La Motta" (Raging Bull) go head to head.
De Niro has had a few of these, as they do tend to occur with older, iconic actors. One of the biggest was having him go up against Al Pacino in Heat, because in spite of them both being in The Godfather Part II they had never acted opposite each other before. Of course, they weren't together very long in that, and so someone had to go the extra mile eventually, and Righteous Kill wasn't worth the added joint screen time. De Niro's involvement in the Meet the Parents movies also led to the inspired casting of fellow major movie stars of the '70s/'80s Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Ben Stiller's parents.
Inspired casting is what this sort of thing used to be known as. One of my favorites, if it counts, is Tony Scott's casting of Gene Hackman for Enemy of the State in a part that very much recalled his character from another surveillance--The Conversation -- especially with a very direct visual allusion to the 1974 film. More of a clever nod than something blanketing the entire production and then marketing of a film. Of course, Quentin Tarantino is the king, or maybe just the pioneer, of good gimmick casting, as he's been using actors for homage and star-text-exploiting allusions since the beginning. Joe Dante has also been fairly good at that.
Sometimes the gimmick is meant for ironic purpose, such as when Matthew Broderick plays a teacher in Election, and no viewer of a certain age can't help but be reminded of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The original 3:10 to Yuma involved a villain played by usual good guy Glenn Ford and a good guy played by usual villain Van Heflin. And surely anytime Hollywood exploits the idea of a child actress "grown up" on-screen (some examples have been Alyssa Milano, Dakota Fanning and now Kristen Stewart), whether there's skin shed or not, is a kind of sorry subtrend.
Other less conspicuous instances include voice work, such as with the animated feature Shark Tale -- there's De Niro again, this time with Martin Scorsese -- and Small Soldiers, with its Dirty Dozen and This Is Spinal Tap reunions. Sigourney Weaver as the voice of the ship in Wall-E is also brilliant.
What are your favorite instances of gimmicky casting?

Developed by Laboratoires Genévrier, a popular and well respected producer of innovative biotechnology skin care solutions, the iAlugen supplement is designed to combat the early signs of ageing by boosting the production of collagen and Hyaluronic Acid within the skin.
Each capsule contains a high concentration of collagen and Hyaluronic Acid molecules in a unique compound that is both bioavailable and naturally absorbed by the body, to deliver their specific benefits directly to the skin. Additional ingredients CoEnzyme Q10 and Pycnogenol help to revitalise tired skin cells to boost the skins natural radiance and vitality from the inside out for a healthy glow.
Over time these capsules help to increase skin density and strength while restoring a youthful elasticity and bounce back to a lacklustre complexion to successfully prevent the development of fine lines and severe wrinkles. For the best results possible, Laboratoires Genévrier recommend that women over the age of 30 include these supplements in their daily routine as this is when the skin's underlying structure begins to diminish. Fine lines and mild loss of volume are common during this decade, especially for those who have a hectic or stressful lifestyle, so the more you can do to prevent this kind of ageing the better.
Used alongside topical anti-aging or wrinkle-preventing treatments, users can expect to see amazing results after just one month, with the improvements only increasing with continued use. They can also be used to support and enhance the results of in-clinic procedures such as dermal fillers and injectables.

BUCS National Championships – Date, Venue & Stream Information
This year's British University National Championships game takes place on Sunday 26 March.
The climax of the 2016/17 season will include both the Division One and Premiership Championship games.
The games will be played at the superb facility that is Sixways Stadium, Worcester – venue for last year's Adult and Junior National Championship games, along with the International Weekend that saw the GB Lions Women's and Men's teams compete against a range of opposition from across Europe (and emerge undefeated!)
The action will kick off at midday, with the Champions of the North and South regional Championships in Division One squaring off for BUCS points and bragging rights. It'll be a great opportunity to see how the new additions to the top tier of football compare and whether they're ready for the leap to the elite level of game played in the Premiership conferences.
We won't know which Division One sides will be making the trip until this weekend, as Conference rivals Sheffield Hallam and Leeds Beckett go head to head for the Northern Championship, while Cardiff travel across to the south coast to take on a Portsmouth side that haven't lost a game since 2015!
Once the Div One title is resolved, we get to the big tamale – The BUCS American Football National Championship – which for the first time in many years is a all-Northern final, as conference rivals Stirling and Durham go square off for the Neil Reynolds Trophy.
For the Clansmen, it's their fourth straight championship game – though they fell short against the Birmingham Lions last season. They'll be eager to reclaim the title, but first have to overcome a Durham side that's bested Stirling twice already this year.
Yes, it may have taken a last-minutes score in their second meeting, but the Saints took wins away from the Clan both times the two teams met in the regular season – though one of those wins was subsequently wiped away following sanctions taken against the Saints for their featuring of an ineligible player through their first five fixtures of the year.
Indeed, the Saints will be controversial attendees of this season's big game, as many across the league have questioned the eligibility of a team that cheated, unknowingly or otherwise, through the majority of their regular season being permitted into the postseason at all.
Regardless, the Saints themselves can only play the field placed in front of them, and with a roster stacked with talent in both the form of sports scholars and domestic products, the Saints have overcome all obstacles placed before them this season, and are surely favourites to hoist their first ever National Championship?
For those unable to get across to Worcester, we're very pleased to announce that this year's finals will be streamed via our YouTube page, in conjunction with the very talented crew over at Onside Productions.
This year we'll be looking at providing potentially up to a full eight hours of live content direct from Worcester to the #BritballNation and beyond!
Interested in getting involved with DC's live content productions? Why not check out DblCoverage.com/apply – we're always looking for more talented peeps to expand #TeamDC's options, especially for live events such as this one!
Want to support the stream, while also getting your message out to thousands of British American Football Fans? We're offering a limited number of opportunities for relevant partners to share information about themselves during the stream – just get in touch at email@example.com to see if we can help you reach out to the #BritballNation

What does it look like to live the life of a Christ follower? At Woodmen, we share four mission values:
Gather Connect Grow Contribute
You'll hear us talk about these four commitments often, because we believe each of them is fundamental to living a thriving Christian life. Let's look at our final value: Contribute.
Do you ever feel like you're made for something bigger than just yourself? We do too. It stems from the way God created each of us.
He crafted us with longings and gifts to be part of His redemptive work on earth. He calls us not only to go TO church, but to BE the church — to live as Christ-followers on mission. So you'll find lots of opportunities to give and serve through Woodmen.
We trust God as the creator of all we are and all we have—the source of our abilities and finances. So we invite everyone who calls Woodmen home to respond by giving thankfully and generously (2 Cor. 9:11-12). As we give back to God, our gifts become a catalyst to support the work of ministry.
Jesus' life was one of sacrificial service and He calls us to follow His example (Mark 10:42-45). To follow his leading in our lives, we seek to use the gifts He's given us for the sake of the gospel (Romans 12:1).
What does it look like to contribute through serving? For us at Woodmen, sometimes it could be as simple as shoveling snow from a neighbor's sidewalk or changing a diaper in the nursery at church, other times it might mean journeying around the globe to Peru or India to share the love of God.
We hope you'll join us as together we share the love of Christ through serving the church, serving our city and serving the world.
Contribute Through Serving Contribute Through Giving

EducationB.S. in Earth and Environmental Sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago
ExperienceI love teaching one-on-one in a relaxed, friendly, and fun atmosphere. This is when concepts can really click, and the task becomes less about memorizing facts and more about learning or reinforcing new and interesting things. Earth Science is my most proficient subject, but I have a strong background in math, physics, and chemistry and have tutored high school students in these subjects with success in the past. I have found it is most helpful to explore these subjects together, rather than recite to the student things he/she could read in a book.
HobbiesHmm where to begin, I love music, traveling and the outdoors, drawing and working with my hands. Maybe during a break we can talk about geology! Okay, you probably won't want to talk about geology, but I might!
Preferred Subjects
Algebra, Geometry, Math, Pre-Calculus, SAT Math, Trigonometry, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, Science
Inquire about this tutor
The tutor will respond if they are available/interested.

The most important piece of advice I can give to any aspiring band photographer is one simple word: Flickr! Out of everything I've done to advertise myself, Flickr has been far and away the best bang for the buck. I've gotten more exposure and more paying gigs through Flickr than from anything else. Properly tagged, with good descriptions and titles your photos can be searched and found by millions of people and the investment of time is minimal if you have a good workflow set out.
Case and point; I got an email last week from the band Skull Fist asking if I'd come shoot their show. I thought maybe I'd seen them play before, or talked to them at a previous show, but it turns out they found me through Flickr. This isn't the first time this has happened, but as my Flickr portfolio has grown, it's becoming more and more frequent.
As for the show itself, I haven't had that much fun shooting a band in a long time. If you keep up with this blog you'll know the one biggest complaint I have about live music is that many bands don't pay much attention to performance aspect of the show. Live music should be larger than life, I'm not saying every band should go completely KISS and show up in spikes and make-up, but you should at least look like you didn't just roll in from your day job. And move around a bit on stage, too many bands perform on stage like they're
laying down a track in the studio. You might sound great, but sound is only one part of why people go see live bands. Well Skull Fist did not disappoint.
You may not like metal, but you have to give credit to any band that really turns it up to 11 to put on a memorable show. I`m going to make a point of shooting more metal shows in the future; my shots are only ever going to be as good as the band I`m shooting… lighting, gear, technique… these things are important, but they only let you reach the full potential of your subject. If your subject is boring, the best you can hope for is technically capable, but boring pictures. Well Skull Fist made me look good. They look the part, they act the part; Valhalla or bust… they`re here to rock.
I also have to give props to the crowd at Mavericks. A lot of my time shooting a show is spent looking over my shoulder for the inevitable flying beer… or body. I have a hard enough time avoiding the jostle at an upbeat alternative show, being a full line up of metal I was expecting WWIII on the dance floor. And while the mosh pit deserved it`s name, everyone was very conscious about giving me my space, in fact the crowd even came to my defense when the sole drunk that wasn`t with the program started getting physical with me.
So my thanks go out to the crowd at Mavericks… you let me get on with my business and good times where had by all. Skull Fist are currently touring eastern Canada followed by a tour out west then off to Europe, so check them out while they`re still on this side of the pond if you have a chance. Even if you`re not generally one to go to a metal show, trust me you will be entertained. You can see the rest of my shots of Skull Fist on Flickr, as well as shots from the other amazing bands in the line up: Aggressor, Black Moor and RottawaY.

The University of Security opened in 2004 when, by the decision of the Minister of National Education and Sport, it was entered into the register of non-public vocational colleges.
It is worth emphasising that a significant part of the persons who developed our college's curriculum, besides high professional qualifications and scientific and research achievements, have abundant experience in college administration, both in management and teaching. With such a solid teaching base, our college was opened to teach subjects related to its name.
Today, the University of Security offers the following courses: National Security, Internal Security, Health Security, Psychology, Pedagogy and Management.
The constantly changing needs of the job market impose real trends in education; this has mad the idea of our college highly attractive and earned us the support of the local authorities, schools and workplaces.
Given the current needs of society our college has focused on educating high-class specialists for work in institutions that prevent social ills and who provide high-quality services in the specific field that is security, who carry out social rehabilitation programmes, and promote security and European integration. With such goals our college has always been guided by our teaching mission: education for security, while our lodestar are often forgotten values such as: honour, dignity, keeping promises and responsibility.
Today, academic theory is only a basis for beginning career development. Practical learning is a vital supplement to this education, which is why the University of Security provides vocational training with a mind to facilitate personal development and creativity in various fields of social activity related to the security of people and society. By taking part in field practice and survival camps the students to face reality eye to eye by solving "real-life" problems. Such issues are also the subject of scientific research, and advisory and consulting efforts with the student's active participation. The University of Security is the first college to prepare expert staff in various specialities which are directly and indirectly related to personal and public safety and their promotion. Our college also builds its image and forges traditions based on the educational effects we provide and our environmental efforts.
The University of Security is a specialist college with a clearly defined curriculum, as explicitly stated in its name, related to broadly understood security. The essence of this notion is reflected by our flagship subject and its related specialities. As early as over 10 years ago, the college's authorities and the experts who developed its "foundations" were aware of the potential of the subject that is so often and eagerly chosen by university applicants today. In the context of growing conflicts, including international ones, the development of security experts seems to be a challenge that needs to be met with due diligence.
Life-long learning, self-improvement and the constant raising of qualifications are but some of the many requirements of today's job market. The University of Security aspires to be renowned as a college that is open to new educational challenges and needs, and for promoting innovative teaching ideas; that is why we make efforts to keep ahead of standards by implementing enterprising and innovative solutions with a view to make our students successful and for the benefit of our entire college community and to effectively discard passivity and mediocrity, which seem to be the biggest educational social problem today.
The University of Security provides students with a range of vocational and general education which allows them, as graduates, to get and maintain a job, and to function in a highly competitive market economy in an efficient and effective way–benefitting both themselves and their employers. It develops people who are competent, active, resourceful and enterprising, characterised by their high professional ethics and takes into consideration that college is also a time for self-fulfilment and development.

Canada takes U.S. to WTO in wide-ranging trade complaint
Case cites almost 200 examples of U.S. wrongdoing, many concerning other trading partners
Canada has launched a wide-ranging trade dispute against the United States, challenging Washington's use of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties, according to a World Trade Organization filing dated Dec. 20 and published Wednesday.
Canada appeared to be mounting a case on behalf of the rest of the world, since it cited almost 200 examples of alleged U.S. wrongdoing, almost all of them concerning other trading partners, such as China, India, Brazil and the European Union.
The 32-page complaint homed in on technical details of the U.S. trade rulebook, ranging from the U.S. treatment of export controls to the use of retroactive duties and split decisions by the six-member U.S. International Trade Commission.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said the legal action was in response to the "unfair and unwarranted" U.S. duties against Canada's softwood lumber producers and part of a "broader litigation" to defend forestry jobs.
"We continue to engage our American counterparts to encourage them to come to a durable negotiated agreement on softwood lumber," Freeland said in an emailed statement.
Canada said U.S. procedures broke the WTO's Anti-Dumping Agreement, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes.
Claims 'unfounded'
U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer issued a rebuttal calling Canada's case an "ill-advised attack on the U.S. trade remedies system."
"Canada's claims are unfounded and could only lower U.S. confidence that Canada is committed to mutually beneficial trade," Lighthizer said in statement.
"Canada is acting against its own workers' and businesses' interests. Even if Canada succeeded on these groundless claims, other countries would primarily benefit, not Canada," he said.
Trade lawyer Mark Warner said Canada may have some merit to its case, but he questioned the timing as the latest round of NAFTA negotiations are due to be held in Montreal later this month.
"This isn't going to calm passions in Montreal," Warner told The Canadian Press. "It's almost like Canada is fighting this on behalf of the international community... I wonder why would you bring this complaint now?"
Susan Yurkovich, president of the BC Lumber Trade Council, said her organization backs the Canadian government's move.
"Canada and the U.S. enjoy one of the most productive trading relationships in the world," Yurkovich said in a statement. "However, this relationship depends on fair process and practices."
Trade arsenal
Anti-dumping and countervailing duties — punitive tariffs to restrict imports that are unfairly priced or subsidised in order to beat the competition — are a core component of Washington's trade arsenal, and frequently used to defend U.S. interests.
Such tariffs are allowed under WTO rules, but are subject to strict conditions.
The United States has been under fire for years about the way it calculates unfair pricing, or dumping. It has already lost a string of WTO disputes after its calculation methodology was ruled to be out of line with the WTO rulebook.
Under President Donald Trump, the United States has threatened to expand the use of punitive duties against China and has angered Beijing by refusing to accede to China's demand to be treated as any other "market economy".
Trump has also upset Canada by slapping punitive tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber exports, leading to a challenge by Ottawa at the WTO and the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Five years ago this week, she was a bride who had just gotten married at South Beach's Versace Mansion to a rich, charismatic attorney who had Fort Lauderdale abuzz.
Three years ago, she was in seclusion after watching her husband, Scott Rothstein, go before a federal judge to plead guilty to the largest financial fraud in South Florida history.
On Friday, Kim Rothstein was back at the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. This time, it was to admit that she too is a criminal.
Rothstein, 38, pleaded guilty to a plot to hide more than $1 million in jewelry from federal authorities as they were seizing her husband's assets to reimburse victims of his swindle. She admitted conspiring with her then-attorney and a friend to secretly sell the jewels, including a 12-carat diamond ring, and to persuade her imprisoned husband to lie under oath about the ring's whereabouts.
She faces up to five years in prison when sentenced April 19 by U.S. District Judge Robin S. Rosenbaum.
Dressed in a dark pantsuit, Rothstein answered Rosenbaum's questions in a clear, steady voice as she pleaded guilty to a felony charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering, obstruct justice and tamper with a witness.
"Are you pleading guilty because you are in fact guilty?" Rosenbaum asked.
"Yes, your honor," Rothstein responded.
She left the courthouse flanked by her defense attorneys, David Tucker and David Kotler. She did not acknowledge the reporters and cameramen outside as she got into a sports utility vehicle waiting for her.

For those of you who are planning on buying the Droid Razr, we have some good news for you. Unfortunately good news is usually accompanied by the bad.
Motorola has decided to make the device's bootloader either locked or unlocked, leaving it up to the carrier to decide. The European market will be getting the unlocked version known as the Motorola Razr. Verizon on the other hand unfortunately decided to keep the U.S. variant, the Droid Razr, on lock-down.
If you were hoping to get the Razr with an unlocked bootloader you will have to import one from another market or wait for the dev community to find a way to port the bootloader over from the international version. Most likely this will happen since it will be the device of choice for many developers and should only be a matter of time before the Droid Razr sees some custom ROMs, so keep the faith my friends.
If this is a deal-breaker for you, and you would rather import the international version, let us know in the comments below.
