Glutening symptoms five days to a week after consumption?
hopefulinmybody replied to hopefulinmybody's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithThank you everyone! I really appreciate it and the link to the Celiac Disease Center in Chicago.
Glutening symptoms five days to a week after consumption?
hopefulinmybody posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi, A week ago I accidentally bought and put in my mouth a sunflower seed cacao treat at LAX airport. I put it in my mouth, chewed, looked down at the label and saw it has wheat. I spit it out and gargled, brushed my teeth, etc. And then I tried to forget about it. I felt okay for about five days. . . and then, by this past weekend, and until now I have fatigue, muscle stiffness, and some anxiety. Of course it could be a tiring life and anxious conditions in life too. Does this happen to celiacs to get a delayed reaction to a glutening or does everybody have glutening symptoms come on within 24 hours? I've been diagnosed and gluten-free for five years but this is the first time I KNOW I put gluten in my mouth. I had a lot of fatigue for two years after diagnosis but lately it's been better, now this! Thank you!!

Gluten, Beer, Kissing
hopefulinmybody posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi everyone, I'm dating someone new and when I showed up for our date last week he was drinking a beer. Sigh. I have the policy that I will not kiss someone who has been drinking beer for 4-5 hours. Brushing teeth, chewing gum, gargling, it just doesn't feel like enough. If he was eating gluten food then brushing teeth and rinsing would feel OK, but beer is a coating. I am very sensitive and I do so much to avoid cross-contamination, I don't want to endanger myself. We had a pretty awkward conversation about this afterward and at the end of the day, I plan to stick with how I feel about this. But I am also curious about how you deal with kissing a loved one if he or she has consumed beer. . . what do you consider safe, especially if you are sensitive? Thanks!!
Traces Amounts Of Gluten Causing Depression? And A Warning About Goodbelly Coconut Water
hopefulinmybody posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi everybody-- First, please watch out for GoodBelly probiotic coconut water and other drinks. They use barley malt and oats in their probiotic culturing process. I told the company they should put a big CONTAINS GLUTEN label on the bottle. I was so shocked after a took a sip that a coconut water would have gluten in it. So this leads into my question. I took a sip of the coconut water almost two weeks ago. Just a sip, and it's a small amount of gluten according to GoodBelly. However, I have had a bout of depression and anxiety hit me over the last week. So that would be about a week after the incident. There are a lot of things I could attribute this depression to but it feels really physical, like that oozy oily dark cloud on my mood that comes in bouts and goes. I don't really feel like it's from emotional issues, I feel like something triggered it--either that I am trying to eat rice again (I have been off grains for four months due to food intolerances) or this glutening. I am wondering if anyone has a delayed depressive bout from a glutening, even from trace amounts. Oh, I would like this to lift and get back to feeling more normal. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
5 Consecutive Canker Sores In 16 Days
hopefulinmybody replied to birdie22's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI am having the same experience--every 5 or 6 days now for the last two months I get a canker sore, some of them not so large, and with it I get all muscle achey and fatigued, knocked out! I never got them frequently before. It is really a drag--feel like I can't rely on being able to get out and live my life. I will hunt the SLS free toothpaste. I already am strictly gluten-free and do Paleo (no grains, dairy, or eggs), I wonder if there are hidden ingredients in any processed foods triggering these? Why all of a sudden?
Frequent Canker Sores Anyone?
hopefulinmybody replied to hopefulinmybody's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithWow, so you think you got these symptoms from just being cross-contaminated with corn as opposed to eating it? I have also cut out all grains including corn, dairy, eggs, and chocolate based on the results of food inolerance testing. But I never think that cross-contamination from those things will cause symptoms in the way that gluten cross-contamination will. What you are describing sound like my symptoms too--knocked over and it keeps happening weekly so really want to get to the bottom of it. Good luck and health and love to you too.
Frequent Canker Sores Anyone?
hopefulinmybody posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi all, I've been gluten-free 15 months and I'm very strict. For the last couple of months I've been getting frequent canker sores that are accompanied by a cold/tired feeling/muscle aches that last 2-3 days. It's frustrating because it's been happening weekly. I found one post on this topic on the forums and got the tip of getting another toothpaste (sodium laurel sulfate free). I will avoid acidic foods now (maybe it's because strawberries are in season?). But I'm also getting colds. Some posts online suggest that canker sores are a sign of hidden gluten but it is hard to imagine where the hidden gluten could be. Does anyone have any advice or wisdom to share about celiacs who are already gluten-free getting frequent canker sores? I would be most grateful, hoping to stop this soon. Much love and blessings. Thanks for all the support on this wonderful forum. So grateful for it.
Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tired
hopefulinmybody replied to BeccaMeadows's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi Becca, I can relate. I have been gluten-free now for about 15 months and am still struggling with frequent colds, canker sores,an and fatigue as well as other random symptoms. I never really know whether they are connected to celiac or not. Maddening! Although I am still having canker sores and colds (was going to write my own post about this) I can say that I have felt better in general, going in the right direction, since seeing a naturopath, eliminating more foods such as dairy, eggs, and grains, and increasing my intake of green vegetables (she has me eating at least 6 servings of veggies in general per day). For the most part I feel like I am going in the right direction, though I too still get frustrated. No one else I know gets colds so often! Anyway--much love for you on this path, we know it's not a simple one.
Really Random Question About Paper In Soup!
hopefulinmybody replied to hopefulinmybody's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithGreat! There is nothing like being able to poll celiacs about a question like this when in doubt. I am very grateful for your answers! I started eating it last night and I'm still unsure about my reaction time, I'll hold out a little longer, but seems like it's probably all good.
Really Random Question About Paper In Soup!
hopefulinmybody posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi everyone! I wouldn't know where else to turn but the celiac forums with this question. I am sick and I made myself a great chicken soup to get better. I noticed after I had made the soup and eaten some that a small piece of waxy cardboard paper from the new spoon (part of the packaging) I bought had dropped into the soup and had been there the whole time it was cooking. Being a celiac, of course. now I am worried that this waxy cardboard paper could have gluten and have contaminated the soup. I've already eaten several bowls of it. . . so . . . just wondering, any thoughts? What would you do? Many thanks from one celiac to another.
Advice For How To Do An Elimination Diet
hopefulinmybody replied to hopefulinmybody's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesThanks Skylark. I will check this diet. Wow, eating lamb, white rice, and lettuce for two weeks seems intense. Were you able to carry on with life as usual? I suppose it's easier in some sense because you only shop for three things and cook two. And then after this you introduced one food or food group after the next? There is a lot of noise about adrenal function. The test they would have me to do samples the saliva over 4 times during a day. Re: thyroid. Years ago my T3 was low and doctors tried to move it with hormone but it didn't move. Now my TSH is normal and the doctor says that is adequate as a read and all we need to know. Do you have any knowledge about whether a TSH is enough to gauge thyroid function? I definitely have weakness, fatigue, and frequent colds (immunosuppression). Thank you!!
Advice For How To Do An Elimination Diet
hopefulinmybody posted a topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesHi everyone! Once again I am amazed by the depth of knowledge in this community. I just visited this topic area for the first time now that I have identified food intolerances and leaky gut as something I should look into. I've been gluten-free for seven months since my biopsy showed moderate to severe damage and I still feel frequently tired, get about 1 cold per week, and have muscle weakness. I am thinking it is getting to be time to look into other food intolerances. I visited a clinic that I am not sure if I trust and they also suggested doing a stool test to look for parasites and saliva testing to look at adrenal function. My main question: Can you recommend a website or a plan to do the elimination diet? Obviously it is daunting to strip down to a few foods and I would like to read up about this before I come up with my plan. And also curious if you have heard about whether it is effective to look for parasites in stool testing and at adrenal function. Thank you!!
How Long Do Waves Of Fatigue Continue?
hopefulinmybody replied to hopefulinmybody's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithInteresting. I will look into elimination diets and doing just meet and veggies (or almost only, whatever I can manage). I did feel better when I was eating more broccoli. I also have the intuition that I need red meat and chicken. I relate so much to the others who are dealing with the ups and downs of energy. I asked God today in the kitchen to jut let me feel well again. It's so hard to feel like a broken record in your head thinking about all this. I told God I will take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy life and help others if I can feel consistent normal energy again!
How Long Do Waves Of Fatigue Continue?
hopefulinmybody replied to hopefulinmybody's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI decided after writing this post to try once more with my current doctor by writing him an email listing the things I would like to be tested for. I'm going to research this but also thought I would ask if anyone else has any other ideas. I know for starters that although my TSH is good years ago either T3 or T4 was way low, so I will mention this for one. Thanks!

I hate to give my old favorite resturaunt a bad review... But... Luca, the owner has far outgrown his ability to manage what used to be a quaint, authentic Italian Bistro. This is only the second review I have written on Trip Advisor. The first was an Outstanding review foar a particular resturaunt.... This one.... NOT so much!!! We have now been two times to Caio's new location in downtown Fernandina. Unfortunately, both experiences have been far less than average from a service standpoint. The food... Good but not Great. And.... Certainly not what it used to be!!! We were very tolerant the first visit because it was Luca's(owner) second night in a new location and you have to expect any resturaunt to work out through opening "glitches" with new staff etc. I convinced our reluctant group to give Caio a second chance last night. That experience was far worse than the first. Luca has lost his touch... and his flare for customer service which was his whole secret to success at his old location. Luca, and Caio, had developed an incredible and unmatched following of repeat customers and FRIENDS because of his personality and attention to detal. Expansion and the new location has gone to his head. His local following is dwindling fast!! Our experience last night was terrible and only made worse by Luca's response to our table of six. It will be a LONG time before we revisit our OLD favorite resturaunt. Best of luck!! Luca.... Never forget what used to be your secret to success.... Customer Service!! Anyone can put food on a plate and a check on the table.

Royalty Relief Language Hitches a Ride with Appropriations Bill -- For Now
House appropriators yesterday accepted a Democratic amendment that seeks to reform federal royalty relief incentives offered to deepwater Gulf of Mexico oil and gas producers, but the restrictions may not survive on the House floor.
The plan by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) was accepted by voice vote during yesterday's markup of the fiscal 2007 Interior and Environment spending bill. The Democratic amendment mirrors legislation, H.R. 4749, offered in February by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and cosponsored by several other Democrats, including Hinchey (E&ENews PM, Feb. 15).
Aides on both sides of the aisle said they expect a Republican attempt to strike the language once the appropriations bill hits the House floor, which could be as early as next Wednesday. A point of order could be raised against the language if it is left unprotected by the House Rules Committee.
Appropriations Committee ranking member David Obey (D-Wis.) was skeptical his panel could solve the royalty issue via this or any other amendment. "This issue will not be resolved on this bill," Obey said. "This is likely to be dropped by the time we get to conference."
Obey did say the amendment would put pressure on the authorizing committees to act.
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) described the language as a "bookmark" that will likely be changed as the appropriations process continues. "In the short term, it will send a message," he told reporters. "In the long term, it will give the president one more tool in negotiation."
As passed by the Appropriations Committee, the plan would require suspension of royalty relief from future production on leases any time the price of oil is above $34.71 per barrel for four weeks. The same bill would apply to natural gas when the wellhead price is above $4.34 per thousand cubic feet for four weeks.
A second part of the amendment calls for Interior to renegotiate certain existing leases that allow companies to avoid royalties. Supporters say this is aimed at leases in 1998 and 1999 that did not contain "price threshold" language that allows the Interior Department to waive the relief when energy prices rise above certain levels.
This section initially contained language that would pressure leaseholders to renegotiate with Interior, because failing to would make them ineligible to buy future federal leases. But the language barring the ability to buy future leases was removed during the markup though a second-degree amendment from Kingston.
Markey chastised the GOP amendment, saying it weakens Interior's ability to renegotiate leases. "We need to give the secretary a big stick as she attempts to recoup some of the billions and billions of dollars in losses to the American taxpayer over the next 25 years," said Markey in a statement. "For the Republicans to attempt to take the teeth out of that renegotiation is unconscionable."
Despite that, Hinchey told E&E Daily the amendment "has teeth" and would get Interior and oil companies to the table. "It will provide the push that is necessary to get these oil leases renegotiated," Hinchey said, who did not rule out bringing the original language up on the House floor next week.
The group Friends of the Earth yesterday called for the amendment to be included in the final appropriations bill. "We also urge Congress to strengthen the language by making it clear that oil companies who fail to renegotiate leases with the Interior Department won't be eligible for future contracts," the group said.
The amendment is aimed at recouping what could be billions of dollars in royalty payments that Interior will not receive as a result of the absence of price thresholds. A Government Accountability Office draft analysis in March found that the issuance of leases without price thresholds -- which Interior has called inadvertent -- will bring an estimated revenue effect of $10 billion (Greenwire, March 29).
Most Interior Department cuts left unchanged
The committee made few changes to the funding levels for fiscal 2007 set by the Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee a week earlier that cuts nearly $275 million from Interior and the Forest Service.
Overall, Interior would receive $9.65 billion -- $211 million below fiscal 2006 and $40 million above the Bush administration's request.
Cuts include $100 million to the National Park Service budget, bringing total funding to $2.2 billion, or about $19 million more than the administration's request. The mark includes an additional $41 million for park base operations, a repeated concern of the subcommittee, which recently received a Government Accountability Office report detailing budget shortfalls at several major parks.
Most of the requested NPS cuts are the result of the proposed elimination of the $30 million Land and Water Conservation Fund stateside grant accounts, and other LWCF accounts did not fare much better. The mark includes a 27 percent cut to the State Wildlife Grants Program at $50 million, $24 million less than the administration's recommendation.
For the Forest Service, the agency would receive $4.2 billion, $63 million below fiscal 2006. The Forest Legacy program would receive $9.3 million, far below the $62 million request from the Bush administration. The $9 million Forest Service economic action program would also be eliminated.
The panel did add $31 million to the USFS account for forest health programs, for a total of $127 million, and added $40 million for road maintenance, for a total of $133 million.
The Fish and Wildlife Service would be cut $55 million to $1.3 billion, about $2 million below the administration request.
The subcommittee also added $5 million for the planned Flight 93 memorial in Pennsylvania, after members of the families who died on the flight on Sept. 11, 2001, raised public pressure on Subcommittee Chairman Charles Taylor (R-N.C.).
Amendments accepted
The committee accepted a handful of Interior-specific amendments, including:
- Language from Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.) that would encourage the National Park Service to complete "in an efficient and timely manner" studies of personal watercraft use in 21 national parks.
- An amendment from Taylor and Dicks adding $12 million to the Payment in Lieu of Taxes account from the Smithsonian budget. Total PILT funding would be $230 million in fiscal 2007.
- Language from Hinchey directing Interior to report on the timetable and costs of changing regulations for federal and Native American natural gas leases, and to institute more accurate measurement and reporting of natural gas production values on public lands.
- Language from Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) supporting the First Tee partnership with the National Park Service in Washington, D.C.

Happiness myths debunked
There is nothing like feeling happy to put you in a good mood! Here we debunk common happy myths to make you feel even better and ooze positive vibes!
Exercise makes you happy
This one is true, girls! All that effort of putting on your workout gear is worth it because exercise helps to release happy hormones. Even 30 minutes is enough to make you feel more positive – yay!
Negative friends will bring you down
Negative friends can bring you down, but you don't have to let them. Just like their negative thoughts can affect you, your positives ones can rub off onto your friends.
You'll be happy when you complete a goal
Unfortunately this one is not true! When you complete a certain goal, you'll just strive for more. Try to focus on the positives now, otherwise you'll never be happy.
You can buy happiness
Yes, yes you can! Time to buy a new pair of shoes, we think! However, don't go overboard as your spending spree may cause you to feel guilty, thus spurring on negative feelings.

I finally finished the light bar for the front of my 2012 sahara. The criteria i wanted to meet when i started out was a) it should hug the grill without rubbing, b) I needed to mount it without loosing or notching the stock bumper or the plastic cowling that sits over the brake pump, and c) I wanted a finish on it that almost resembles that of the flat black plastic of the bumpers, mirrors, etc.
A) after some tearing apart and figuring out a mounting position, if found the holes for the plastic cowling on the top between the bumper and grill as the ideal location to bolt it on and the largest pipe i could fit in there was 1 1/2 inch. next i measured a few times and came to the conclusion that 62" of pipe with bends at 17" in from both ends would fit.
The finish i chose for it was Rustoleum plasti-dip. After sanding, and cleaning with thinners i applied a coat of primer, then lightly sanded with 400 grit and then I started spraying on the plasti-dip. For future endeavors I would suggest waiting a minimum of 24 hours before starting with the plasti-dip. The primer bled through the first 2 coats of it and it ended up taking 6 coats to get the finish I was looking for. It was still only the 2 cans i bought, this stuff actually covers pretty well.
Now the main theme behind this little build of mine was budget! The steel was out of the scrap at work, the lights are a princess auto special at 34.99 for 2 lights, wiring, inline fuse, and the switch, and the rustoleum ran me 2 cans at 14.99 each. So for 65 bucks plus tax I have completed my first custom build project for my own vehicle. (it's my first jeep) I would love to hear your comments on this build as i am very happy with how it came out.

The council recognizes the duty the medical profession has in disseminating information about advances in medical science and therapeutics, provided that it is done in an ethical manner.
Solicitation of patients directly or indirectly, by a physician, by groups of physicians or by institutions or organizations is unethical. Self-advertisement is not only incompatible with the principles, which should govern relationships between members of a profession but could be a source of danger to the public.

3.4 Service to the Patients
A physician is free to choose whom to serve except in emergency cases. But once s/he undertakes a patient for treatment s/he should not reject the patient without giving reasonable time or information in advance to the patient and his/her relatives.
3.5 Consent
A physician must seek an informed written consent prior to performing a diagnostic or treatment procedure. Consent should be taken from the patient if s/he is above sixteen years, but in the case of minors or unconscious patients, consent from guardian can be taken.

During 2009, our neighborhood organized and together we assumed summer camp responsibilities and dress exchanges. Recently, several neighbors discussing wanting to have a shared New Year's Eve Party!
What a great idea! I have certainly hosted my share of parties in 2009 and most of my neighbors have been my guests. I will gladly help someone else be the site for the party.
The planning meeting will be held next Thursday evening. Both my husband and I will be there.
Let's hear from you about your ideas for New Year's Eve plans!

Land Observations: The Grand Tour
Form and content seamlessly converge on James Brooks's latest Land Observations opus The Grand Tour. Pitched as an imaginary travelogue through Western, Central, and Southern Europe and recorded using nothing more than one electric six-string guitar, the forty-one-minute set convincingly conveys impressions of restless movement and exploration. The music alone earns the release its recommendation, but the project appeals also for the simplicity of its production approach. With the album's eight tracks presented in a warm analogue sound, Brooks shows, like others before him, that in the right hands a guitar is all that's needed. Inspired by the example of John Fahey and the artists on his Takoma label, Brooks came to realize that, in his own words, a solo guitar could fill the sound.
The Grand Tour isn't the debut recording by the one-time Appliance member, as it was preceded by an initial Land Observations EP for Enraptured Records and 2012's Roman Roads IV-XI full-length. The music's powerfully evocative character might also derive from the keen visual sense he developed in earning a Masters degree in Fine Art and as an exhibiting artist in galleries in London, Frankfurt, and Paris. In keeping with the historical meaning associated with the title, specifically the idea of an extensive and culturally rich trip undertaken by well-off university graduates, the album frames the journey with pieces devoted to departure and return. Along the way, flatlands and mountain passes are traversed, and cities such as Nice, Turin, Vienna, and Florence visited.
The trip doesn't begin on a lazy note but rather one charged with eagerness and optimism, as illustrated by the forward thrust of On Leaving the Kingdom for the Well-Tempered Continent. Here and elsewhere, Brooks generates multiple layers from his gear, such that spidery patterns form a metronomic foundation for the pastoral melodies threaded overtop. Adding to the music's range of moods and timbral richness, Brooks accentuates contrast between the layers, such that a low-pitched pattern assumes a supporting, bass-like role whereas others of a higher pitch function as lead voices.
With London behind us, Flatlands and the Flemish Roads sees the journey picking up speedthe flat terrain allowing for unimpeded movementbefore the pace slows for a careful ascent (From the Heights of the Simpson Pass) that brings with it melancholic reflection. Ode to Viennese Streets is understandably earmarked by a pronounced ornate quality that suggests a visitor admiring the baroque style of the city's buildings. After time spent Walking the Warm Colonnades, we Return to Ravenna, refreshed from the trip and suitably informed about the sights seen.Some artists expressly want their music to be free of extra-musical associations so as to allow the listener to respond to it as freely as possible. Brooks, on the other hand, very clearly pairs the guitar instrumentals of The Grand Tour to programmatic content though not, it must be said, to any detriment to the quality of the music nor to the pleasures one derives from listening to it.

Temperatures in the Lothians are expected to reach around 22C next week with forecasters predicting the UK will enjoy a scorching start to September.
After a month of near normal temperatures – following the mini-heatwave in June and July – above average temeratures are set to return.
Hot weather will replace the rainy conditions which have spread across much of the country this week.
Nick Prebble, forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: "It's turning nice next week, certainly warmer than it's been over the last few weeks.
"From Sunday onwards it will start to settle down, with much of the UK seeing quite a lot of dry weather, due to an area of high pressure coming in, from the south west, then becoming stationary over the UK."

Live 26 Jun 1993 version
If your heart is restless from waiting so long
If you're tired and weary and you can't go on
If a distant dream is calling you
Then there's just one thing you can do
Follow that dream wherever it may lead
Come on, follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on, follow that dream
Now I've been searching for a heart that's free
Searching for someone to search with me
'Cause I need a love, a love I can trust
Together we'll search for the things that come to us
In dreams, wherever they may lead
Come on now, follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on yeah, follow that dream
Now everyone has the right to live
The right to a chance to give what they have to give
The right to fight for the things they believe
For the things that come to them in dreams
Follow that dream wherever it may lead
Come on now, follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on yeah, follow that dream wherever it may lead
Come on now, follow that dream to find the love you need
Yeah to find the love you need
Yeah to find the love you need
Yeah come on follow that dream
[Spoken outro:] Thank you, we love you. Thanks for your help. Thank you. We love you. Goodnight.
The above lyrics are for the live 26 Jun 1993 performance of FOLLOW THAT DREAM at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY, during the World Tour 1992-1993.
The 26 Jun 1993 show at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY, was the last of the World Tour 1992-1993. Billed as "Kristen Ann Carr Fund Benefit Concert", it raised money for the Kristen Ann Carr Fund.
Kristen Ann Carr (1971 - 1993) was the daughter of Barbara Carr, Bruce Springsteen's co-manager, and the stepdaughter of Dave Marsh, Carr's husband since Kristen was three years old and Springsteen's official biographer. Kristen died on 06 Jan 1993 at the age of twenty-one due to liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer that arises in fat cells in deep soft tissue. At her request, Dave Marsh, Barbara Carr, Kristen's sister Sasha, and Kristen's fiancé Michael Solomon founded the Kristen Ann Carr Fund. The fund is an organization dedicated to supporting research in the treatment and cure of sarcoma, as well as improving the lives of adolescents and young adults with cancer.
The summer before her death, Kristen and Solomon worked on the European leg of Springsteen's world tour, organizing bar trips and sightseeing expeditions for his new band. The couple had planned to use Springsteen's IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND as their wedding song, but Springsteen and his wife, Patti Scialfa, wound up singing it at her funeral. Springsteen's 26 Jun 1993 concert at Madison Square Garden was a benefit for The Kristen Ann Carr Fund. The concert raised more than $1.5 million for the fund from ticket sales and donations.
The fund has been sustained via auctions and events; Springsteen has donated signed guitars, tour jackets, and other memorabilia. For more information about the charity, visit the Kristen Ann Carr Sarcoma Forum website.
Much of the info about The Kristen Ann Carr Fund is taken from Gary Graff's book The Ties That Bind - Bruce Springsteen A to E to Z.

Heavy eyelids open to the early morning light. My body is asleep but my mind and soul are awake. For the first time in days, I might have an hour or two alone. Since leaving for vacation in this old RV, I've only found solitude in a bathroom the size of myself.
It's worth it. Our longest trip ever in this almost thirty year old RV to venture to my family's old vacation spot and to take my parents back there. We want to introduce my kids to the places I walked as a kid.
Vacations are not always vacations for moms though. Work may be increased when you camp and just a couple of hours of pure solitude in God's beauty (what I long for most on vacation) might be impossible. Impossible if you don't work for it.
So I snap the little alarm clock button down and plug in the coffee pot. My girl is still snuggled deep down under warm blankets in the cool of the morning and there she will stay for a few more hours. Lord willing, we will both get what we crave most. I ask my husband, tucked away in the loft above the cab, if he minds. He mumbles a no. I take his answer and run with it…even though I am not sure he is fully aware of what he's giving up. A beautiful sunrise on the north shore of Minnesota.
I walk on the lake trail through flowering bushes, excited to meet the sunrise and my Lord. Just like in my younger years, I find a rock perfectly indented for me to recline in. I sip coffee and I wait for the first gleam of flourescent orange to peak over the Lake Superior. A rare moment on a Sunday morning for this pastor's wife. How can I find what I need this Sunday morning on Lake Superior? What DO I need to keep going these next few days…weeks and months? What's the one thing? The one thing that will soothe, comfort, prepare and strengthen me for the future? I toss these questions and thoughts to God.
There are a few people scattered across cobblestones waking to this morning light too. People who camped out on the shore braving the cool lake air and hard rocks just to experience beauty. I'm joined here with them. We're all waiting for God's splendor. We wait and I wonder if they are asking questions too. Maybe they also are looking to be strengthened as they look to return to normal everyday life.
I pick up a smooth round stone to throw into the abyss of Lake Superior. The largest freshwater lake, by surface area, in the world. I wonder if the others are watching me from behind and if they think, like me, in this humble moment, that my questions are like this little pebble being thrown in such a vast expanse of water. Skipping stones and throwing rocks was a constant activity just twelve hours ago with my boy but now…now I feel odd doing it alone. Like I'm throwing my questions right out to God in front of these spectators on the beach. I hold back from throwing it.
I decide to read a Psalm and I happen upon Psalm 93.
The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty!
Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house,
O Lord, forevermore.
I sit into my rock chair, one smooth round stone jutting into that spot on my shoulder blade that always wants help. For a moment there is comfort and the strength of the rock encloses me. I watch and listen to the waves crash onto the beach. The waves that have been so mighty and relentless over time. I've seen evidence of it. The lighthouse built in response to shipwrecks and deaths due to their strength crashing on rocky shoreline. The relentless waves that long to knock us over as we search for the perfect stones to keep in our pockets. The cobblestones weathered and polished to smooth roundness. The soft driftwood aged to perfection in the churning waters. The rocks the kids sat on yesterday in order to be splashed by the force of water hitting them. The unending soothing roar I hear from my campsight. The Lord created this and the Lord is mightier.
God's good power.
This one thing gives me comfort and I feel strengthened. Is it enough for the long haul though? The Lord is majestic, mighty, holy and sovereign. Will this sustain me through the changes and challenges ahead?
I see the first glint of powerful glow of the sun coming. Clouds filling up with a shade of orange.
Come what may, his decrees are trustworthy. Holiness trumps all. Forever. He is sovereign. He works powerfully in me, in His people and in all situations.
The Lord and His perfect righteousness reigns. He is robed in majesty. Strength is His belt. In this strength, He established the world and all that is in it. He sustains it, just as He establishes and sustains his throne. And although the floods lift up their voice and roar against my ears, I remember this. His throne is established. He is mightier than anything that goes on around me. His decrees are trustworthy. Holiness befits His house.
I remember that all that I need is in Him. HE is what I need. Jesus and all that He is and all that He provides. What I do in the coming months matters less than what He can and will do as I turn to Him in dependence.
This shoreline looks rugged and tough but the mighty waves shape it. May his mighty waves shape even me to look for HIS strength to operate out of, not my own.
What are you needing for everyday life?
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…
Any of those?
Jesus has it all and will supply as we turn toward Him in each moment that we need it.
My Gospel Transformation ESV Bible study notes say, "His perfect sovereignty joined with absolute goodness answers every need for his people's sustenance."
"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" – Philippians 4:19-20.
The sun shows itself full over Lake Superior now. Burning orange fills the sky and reflects off of water and rocks.
Strengthened and emboldened in Christ, I pick up the stone again…this time I throw it.
Linking up with these lovely ladies and their blogs this week:

The following is from my daily morning writing session on 750words.com and is copy-and-pasted word-for-word with very little editing done to it.
Well, it's time to start writing again. For I am, in fact, a writer. Or, at least, I used to be one. I used to love writing. I used to love putting thoughts together on paper. And somewhere along the way, I decided I wasn't a writer anymore.
Back when I was in 7th grade, in the year of 2000, my English teacher gave a class assignment to write a sequel chapter to some book we were reading about Stonehenge. Instead of the required 4 pages, I turned in a 20+ page Part 2 of the book. Needless to say, while I'm not sure if she read the whole thing, I am sure that it means that there's always been a writer inside of me.
Maybe it's a confidence thing. I know I'm a decent writer, but am I GOOD writer? Can I write things that open people's minds, that inspire action, that add insight, that make a difference. I still can't seem to write an essay without leaving a few typos, even after 2 or 3 proofreads. And I used to write and I stopped – so maybe that means I wasn't meant to continue down that path?
But I think I'm supposed to write. I think I'm supposed to share my life.
There's something inside of me that has no fear. That's not to say I'm not scared shitless nearly 75% of the time I'm off doing anything. But in the big picture, I somehow have been able to keep those little things we call hope, belief, and "it'll work out …somehow" protected from all the bullshit. There's something inside of me that says "It is possible".
I've been sitting still staring at walls for too long now. I've gotten to know myself and what makes me tick more and more in this process, and in that, I've also learned that sitting just isn't my style – I always need to be moving. I always need to be experimenting. I always need to be growing my understanding of things, of my myself, of this world we live in, of the people that surround us and why we do the things we do or don't do the things we don't do. I want to learn everything. I can't sit in one place, learning only one thing. How could I possibly ever do that? That sounds like my personal hell.
I have to be on the go.
And, I'm finally ready to go.
I want these days to be the days when I look back and I see that I made that choice, and it was finally the one that once you make it, there's no turning back. I want to finally begin to grow into the person I want to be. I want to leap and have the net appear, because I think I finally trust that. I think I finally love myself enough to give myself the ability to take the risks that will take me to the places I need to go.
I keep saying to myself, "You only get one shot at life. There's no dress rehearsal here. You get one go, and then, you're dead." I have a few friends, all of whom I love and respect more than anything else on this earth, that I can see it in their eyes they want to go off and see what they're made of, but we've been taught that it's just not practical. I want so badly for them to go off and see what's out there. You can still enjoy the simple things in life, and simultaneously push your comfort zone.
So, I want to share my journey with people, in the hopes that it will inspire them to pave their own way. No fluffy bullshit. No lame inspiration stuff. I really want to share and be open and sincere and honest. I want to tell my story, so that other people may also be inspired to live and tell their story.
And I want to share it because it's been through my blog and online communities that I've met some of the most amazing and inspiring people on this earth, all of whom I wouldn't know if it weren't for these tools. Some of these people have shaped me just as much as my best friend since 2nd grade.
I've tried to settle down. But it seems like I can't settle with being settled. It looks like a life where I go wherever the wind takes me is what it'll be for me. And instead of going the pre-planned route of having a secure job, and securing a house, and securing my finances, I'm going to do things a little differently. I'm not saying I'm going to be a hippie living off of other people's kindness. I'm not saying that I don't want to work and make a living for myself. I'm not saying that I don't believe that there isn't beauty in that path. But, for me, I will just have different foundations, for we all need aspects of certainty in our lives. But for me, it's going to be more about my routines, and keeping in touch with the people who I love from afar.
For me, it's going to be that no matter where I am in the world, I can wake up and do yoga for an hour, enjoy a cup of coffee, and think about life for a little while. For me, it's going to be running my businesses from around the globe, all of which allow me to connect and work with other extraordinary people, entrepreneurs, and creators.
For me, it's going to be keeping my friends close by staying in touch via Facebook and long emails and postcards and even Snapchat. For me, it's going to be about my hobbies like outdoor adventuring, writing, creating art, learning new languages. For me, it's going to be the road itself. Each destination will grow a piece of me, and I'll as I learn more and more, I will become the foundation for myself wherever I go.
Maybe one day I'll settle down with a little house on the water somewhere. But, I don't think an international airport will ever be that far from my front door.
The world is my oyster. I need to go and see what it has to offer. I need to go see what I have to offer.
With love, – Lauren

Below are some of the basic exercises from the program I used to build arches in my feet and fix my overpronation. As my strength and flexibility improved, I progressed these exercises to make them more challenging and added a lot of new ones. But in the beginning, my routine would usually look something like this.
Basic Routine
|Short Foot
|Calf Stretch
|Heel Raises
|Toe Yoga
1. Short Foot
The short foot exercise is one of the first movements I practiced to strengthen my arches. This exercise targets the small muscles that support the arch on the underside of the foot. The goal is to shorten the distance between the ball of the foot and the heel by sliding the forefoot along the ground towards the heel.
While performing this exercise it's important to keep a neutral heel position and not let the toes curl or lift off the ground. When done correctly the ball of the foot and the heel stay in contact with the ground while the arch lifts.
Hold the flexed position for 5 to 10 seconds.
2. Calf Stretch
Having good ankle flexibility can be an important part of preventing the collapse of the arch and controlling foot pronation. The calf is a group of muscles that run along the back of the lower leg and attach onto the heel.
Keeping the knee of the back leg straight, gently lean forward while bending the knee in front until a stretch is felt in the back of the lower leg.
A few general guidelines for calf stretching:
- Feet stay pointed straight ahead
- Keep heels in a neutral position with weight distributed towards outside edges of feet
- Think about pressing heels down towards floor
Hold stretches for 30 to 60 seconds.
3. Heel Raises
Heel raises strengthen several of the lower leg muscles that support the arch. This is an exercise that can be performed in many variations. The variation above is done standing on both legs with hands placed on a wall for balance. The focus is on lifting the heels as high off the ground as possible while keeping the big toes pressed into the floor.
4. Toe Yoga
The muscles that control the toes are similar to the muscles in the hand that move the fingers. These muscles are frequently underused and may lack strength and control. Toe Yoga involves alternating between pressing the big toe down while lifting the other four toes up, then lifting the big toe up while pressing the other four toes down. Easier said than done!
Hold each lift for 5 seconds.

Encouraging Bible Verses (For hard times)
I have been very discouraged lately. So many things have gone wrong, fell apart, and are completely in shambles. The funny thing is I am usually the encourager – cheering everyone else along in their faith walk but what happens when the encourager needs encouragement? On the days I want to give up, the days I cry my heart out, the days I am depressed, the days I am overwhelmed, the days I am stuck, the days I am full of fear, and on the days I have nothing left these are the bible verses keep me going and keep my hope alive. These are my life verses – God speaks to me through them and they revive me when I am depleted.
- Romans 8:28 "We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan." (VOICE)
- Genesis 50:20 "You planned something bad for me, but God produced something good from it, in order to save the lives of many people, just as he's doing today." (CEB)
- Ephesians 3:20 "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" (MSG)
- John 10:10 "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." (AMP)
- Revelation 21:4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (NKJV)
- 2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live [walk] by what we believe [faith], not by what we can see [sight]." (EXB)
- Proverbs 3:5 "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding." (AMP)
- Isaiah 43:18 "Forget the things that happened in the past. Do not keep on thinking about them." (NIRV)
- Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]" (AMP)
What are your life verses? What bible verses encourage you during a tough time?

Your list starts and ends with 2 of my favorite verses, and, oh, we have so many to encourage us, praise God, depending on the present need. Romans 8:28 became a theme for 3 of my novels (each different), but that verse especially helps me when I feel overwhelmed by personal concerns. When world news wears me down, my life verse becomes John 3:17, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that, through Him, the world might be saved." May God help us as Christian Poets and Writers to spread that Good News but also to be honest with each other and ourselves in Jesus' Name. Thanks, Angie, for doing that here. God bless.

Mr. Komot "House of Choco 'n Cheese" Bandung Reviews
205 reviews
Great desserts! Aug 11, 2011
Mr. Komot House of Choco n Cheese in Bandung was conveniently located about a block from our hotel room on our first night in Bandung. We were planning to come here for breakfast, but they didn't open early enough. We did, however, pay them a visit on our first night.
The dining is all open-air but very a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant does a lot of its business with their store, where they sell cakes, cookies, and many other goodies. Although we were tempted, we didn't buy anything out of the store.
We did go into the restaurant, though. The menu offers many of the traditional food in Indonesia, and some western food, also. We just ordered some coffee drinks and some strawberry cheesecake. The cheesecake was heaven! And if that is any indication of what their products they sell in the store are like, they must do well.
The prices are cheap here, it's in a nice location (quiet in the evenings), the desserts are a feast for your eyes, and the staff is quite friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to pass by.

Where chocolate and cheese meet Aug 01, 2011
One of the things I love about Bandung is the food, there are so many restaurants and cafes around town. They make the competition so good that they try hard to serve new things every time.
We went here by coincident when we stayed at a house nearby. We decided to have dinner there as we were too tired to go out. The place is just in a garden and terrace of a house at a main street, in a pretty quiet neighborhood.
It is also a cake shop that sells variety of cookies, which look sooo yummy! There are many interesting menu to order but we decided to only have coffee and cheese cake (they didn't have the food we ordered that time as we were late).
The coffee was good, and the cheese cake was soo yummy! I love it! And more, the price is pretty cheap!
I will go back to this place where they offer good coffee and cake, also a homie and good ambiance to sit and chat with friends.

Things you didn't know about tyres
How much do you really know about your tyres? Tyres are essential when it comes to your driving experience, consumption, the lifeline of your car and your tyres. There are so many things that are affecting your driving experience that you normally would not take in consideration.
I have used Vianor for all services regarding my car and especially the tyres. Every time I leave a Vianor I know that my car is in mint condition and that my tyres have the maximum lifeline they can have. This way I'm much more confident about driving long distances and taking my family on board as well.
Vianor offers a wide range of services when it comes to tyres. All the things I didn't know about tyres are now clear to me. For example, you should change the place of the tyres every 5 to 10 thousand kilometer from rear to front and vice versa. This keeps your tyres from wearing unsustainably because the wearing is different when it comes to front and rear tyres. Then, the tyre pressure is the second thing that is a major wearing factor for your tyres. If you have wrong tyre pressures, your tyre (in Finnish: rengas) will wear out in no time and your ride will be a bit unstable. Checking your tyre pressure and adjusting them is crucial if you want to take the max out of your tyres.
The rims you have affect the wear of the tyres as well. You have to have the right tyres for the right rims and this again is something that the people in Vianor are experts on. Best part is that you can also get the rims for your tyres from the same place.
Fixing your tyres can also prolong the lifeline of your tyres quite a lot. Vianor offers solutions for fixing small flaws on your tyres. This way you can also be sure that you won't be running on a flat tyre when going on a journey.
Balanced tyres are something that keeps the comfort in driving. If your car feels somehow unbalanced, you should take it to the closest Vianor shop and check whether the tyres are in balance or not.

Who doesn't like watermelons especially in the summer? As much as I love this nutrition-densed fruit, I can't eat as much as I want without getting bloated because of the amount of air I suck in when eating it. After a few minutes I would then experience a bout of continuous burping. Not so flattering but relieving.
Luckily, I found a way to juice it without using a juicer. They say that the speed of juicer destroys the enzyme so you must use a slow juicer. In my case I used a potato masher.
If you don't have potato masher, chop the watermelon up and squeeze as much juice as you can.
Because watermelon is at least 90% water, when you juice it, you basically just crush it. You don't need to throw away anything. Juicing watermelon makes it easier to eat one whole fruit and you don't get extra air.
So next time you get a watermelon, try juicing it.

It's not actually in CVS yet. I know exactly how to do the fallback code already though, so I don't need any help with it really. It just requires re-arranging the installation of some of the images that are in art already, and a few lines of code. We basically just have to make the evolution images mimic what would happen for a real icon theme, and put it in a private directory, and get the code to fall back to looking there. I'm just waiting to commit your changes and the few things that I had to do to make it be up-to-date with CVS and everything, before I do anything else with my tree, since so many things are changed already. -- dobey On Pre , 2004-04-16 at 16:07 -0400, Michael Terry wrote: > Great news!

Want to take your baby outside but worried about him/her catching an infection etc.? Worry no more, here's everything you need to know to keep your little one safe.
With the news of being pregnant a lot of parents would begin with their dreams for their baby, decorating the room to buying dresses. Some often buy a stroller way before their baby's birth to take their newborn for walks.
A question always arises to the mind of every parent what is the right time to introduce their baby to the outside world. The knowledge of things to be considered before taking the newborn out can help you to keep him safe.
The first piece of advice about taking newborn outside comes from the nurses in the delivery room. Medically there is no good or bad time to take your newborn outside for shopping a walk or just socializing.
As a parent, it's you who have to take care of your baby when taking him/her outside by following just simple steps you can make sure that you and your newborn will always be safe while being outside.
Keep Newborn away from Infections
A newborn is very sensitive and can easily catch an infection if comes in contact with someone with the infection.
While taking Newborn to a public place make sure that the child doesn't touch something which is touched by many like a bench or table.
If someone wants to hold the baby, make sure that the person washes their hand before doing that. Never let a person who is showing signs of a Flu come near the baby as he may be highly contagious.
A newborn baby has a very less immunity and can easily catch a cold if taken outside in cold weather or can get a heat stroke if taken outside in hot weather. A newborn baby has skin which again is very sensitive and can get skin rashes from the cold weather and get a burnt skin if exposed to direct sunlight.
We cannot change the weather according to our child so what we can do is to make a newborn weatherproof.
If it's freezing outside try to avoid taking the baby out and if you have to make sure there is enough layer of woolens on baby, same way taking the baby out in a lot of heat should be avoided and the first step while taking the baby out in a hot day should be keeping the baby hydrated.
Extra Supply of Clothing and Diaper's
While taking the newborn outside make sure that you have enough supply of diapers and extra clothing, there are chances that a baby might spill milk on its clothes while feeding and keeping the baby in wet clothes would give him rashes and the baby would be extremely uncomfortable too. If you wish not to breastfeed the baby in public you can also look for storage of breast milk so that when your baby feels hungry in private places you will not
Following these simple but effective steps would make sure that your baby's trip to the world is safe and comfortable.

What is the function of SRP (signal recognition particle) RNA?
- print Print
- list Cite
Signal recognition particle (SRP) is a ribonucleoprotein particle. It is important for the targeting of proteins to the prokaryotic plasma membrane or to the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Its job, or function, is to bind to the signal peptide of the membrane or secretory proteins coming from the ribosome at which time it forms a ribosome-nascent chain (RNC)-SRP complex. The RNC-SRP complex then associates with the SRP receptor that is attached to the endoplasmic membrane. SRP function is similar in all organisms although its composition varies. Eukaryotic SRP is made of six polypeptides bound to the RNA molecule whereas prokaryotic SRP is made of only one polypeptide bound to an RNA molecule. Scientists continue to study the complexities of SRP in order to deepen our understanding of this important particle.
