Recently a friend started making her own granola and recommended that I give it a try. Taking her advice I did some research and found that there are as many ways to make granola as there are people who enjoy it. Some recipes used so many different types of nuts, fruits and sweeteners that the result seemed a jumble of flavors. Others recommended using bold spices such as candied ginger that may not be well suited for everyday breakfasts. These weren't the easy, healthy and adaptable granola I was hoping to make.
Rather than offer one set recipe, I thought it would be better to share a master recipe that can be easily adapted to your tastes and whatever ingredients are in the pantry. Please experiment and post your favorite variations in the comments!
Master Granola Recipe
3 c old fashioned rolled oats to act as the base
1 c unsalted nuts, chopped
½ c unsalted seeds or nuts (not the same nuts!) chopped – for variety
½ c texture component – flax meal or unsweetened coconut or wheat germ
½ t cinnamon
½ t dried spice of a second type – nutmeg or cardamom or additional cinnamon
½ c olive or canola oil
¼ c maple syrup – to sweeten and add depth of flavor
3 T honey – to sweeten and bind
1 t vanilla extract
2/3 c dried fruit – for color and texture
Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients (except dried fruit) in large bowl and stir to combine.
Combine oil, maple syrup and honey in small sauce pan. Cook on medium until just beginning to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour syrup onto dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to combine.
Pour granola mixture onto large sheet pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes until golden brown. Stir every 5-7 minutes to ensure even browning.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Stir in dried fruit. Allow granola to cool completely and store in air tight container.
Recipe as pictured includes: walnuts, almonds, flax meal, cardamom and cranberries.

Teaching Via Everyday Choices
There are A LOT of websites that give activity ideas for little ones, but my goal is to make teaching your little one such a natural part of your everyday routine….. and it helps to have some insight into the best teaching techniques.
Most parents who are "teaching" their little one spend more time "drilling" our kiddos (flash card style) than actually teaching them. This isn't ALL bad and trust me, I am guilty of this at times!
We get very caught up in the idea that if our child has learned a skill (like letter naming) then we need to constantly ask them "What letter is this?" and then wait for their answer. Don't get me wrong….this is a GOOD thing. You are helping your little one to recall the information repetitively for recognition and fluency's sake! But I want to ADD that YOU still need to be reinforcing what your little one knows and not just leaving it up to them.
Here is my example of what I am trying to incorporate at home:
Sometimes when I am grocery shopping I see underlying learning opportunities in the products I buy (Alphabits, Fruit Loops for sorting or patterning, Familiar Print, etc.). But when I was picking up a box of waffles, I saw the opportunity to reinforce teaching shapes by buying a box of circular shaped waffles AND a box of square shaped waffles.
Instead of asking Sean Patrick, "Do you want the waffle that is a square or a circle?" (because I know that he knows his shapes), I talk more about it more to reinforce his familiarity with the shape vocabulary and help him make connections. "LooK! This waffle is shaped like a circle!" I said this as I held up a strawberry Eggo waffle. "It goes round and round and round like the wheels on the bus!" (I made it turn in circles just so that he would make a connection of another circular-shaped object) "And this waffle" (holding up the cinnamon toast waffle) "is shaped like a square. It has FOUR sides. One, two, three, four like a square on the floor!" Then I bent down and traced my finger on the outline of the square counting the sides. "Do you want the circle waffle? or the square waffle?"
He chose the "circle!" and he proceeded to tell me about it while he ate "I bite a circle. I bite a round and round" haha – I think he gets it.
Ignore the fact that his diaper is coming apart at the moment, we need to move into pull-ups because of all the "false alarms" that come with potty training. He cracks me up!

Spring Apparel for the Breastfeeding Mother
Are you currently a breastfeeding mother? I'm currently breastfeeding my fifth baby and breastfeeding apparel has really saved my sanity when I have special occasions to attend with a little one or just want to be able to breastfeeding discreetly and comfortably on a day to day basis. I would also recommend if you're planning to have a couple of children and plan/hope to breastfeed them, then investing in some high quality pieces is definitely worth it. With it being spring I'm sharing some spring apparel for the breastfeeding mother from Mayarya, they have some of my favorites breastfeeding dresses, so be sure to check them out.
Over the Easter holiday I wanted to be able to wear dresses during the Triduum, but that wasn't going to happen unless they were made for the breastfeeding mother. One of the days I chose this Everyday Maternity + Nursing Dress in a beautiful spring color. It's perfect as a maternity dress & with the side openings (that you can't even see) it's easy to breastfeed in whenever you need. I dressed it up a bit here with a white jacket from Aventura Clothing and wedges, but it's adorable for everyday with sandals if you love dresses for daily. For everyday I'm more of a jeans kinda girl & with my love for stripes I simply adore this Striped Top from Mayarya. It's considered a maternity/nursing top, but if you're going for maternity I'd size up because it's not very long. There are so many ways to wear a striped top, it's like the perfect classic/basic top that you can dress up down and mix and match easily with other patterns. This specific top is two layers with a cute chest side pocket. You just lift the top layer to expose a light under layer with slits where your breasts sit, so you have easy access and are able to keep your little happy whenever it's time to play the breastfeeding mother role.
Outfit details: Blue Flats (similar) | Black Distressed Jeans | Striped Top (see above) | Denim Jacket | Necklace Popsugar Must Have Box |
If you're a breastfeeding mother or even a momma who's expecting, check out Mayara. I have several of their pieces and I've been extremely happy with them. If you ever need help finding breastfeeding apparel, please let me know. I'm happy to help.

VoIP was a hot topic in 2014, with technology innovation enabling people to do some really exciting things with their communications. The functionality that is now being built into VoIP communications tools is making them far more essential than a simple phone system; for businesses using it correctly, VoIP technology is becoming the very real backbone of their entire communications network.
It's becoming so important to business because it's no longer a simple replacement for the traditional phone line. VoIP is being turned to ever more complex applications as innovations are brought to market, and developers find new ways to integrate VoIP into broader solution sets. Below are some of the hottest developments that we saw in 2014.
For a long time mobile "VoIP" meant Skype, Facetime, or something similar. It was a simple and functional way of communicating with someone on the go, but it was also not secure, and because those apps were proprietary, it was a nightmare (if not impossible) to link into an organisation's broader communications platforms.
That has really started to change in 2014, however, with apps appearing on virtualised network systems allowing organisations to set their employees up with enterprise-grade VoIP while on the go. In 2012 Juniper Research found that the number of over the top (OTT) mobile VoIP users would reach 1 billion by 2017. Clearly, the demand is there and this has been one of the most explosive areas for growth in VoIP over the past year.
Unified Communications (or UC) is the integration of real-time communication services that includes instant messaging, presence information (so people can see if you're available at a point in time), telephony and other communication tools. VoIP has played a major role in the development of the UC industry.
Often seen hand-in-hand with VoIP, 2014 also saw some of the most dramatic developments in the Unified Communications space to date. Another sharply growing market (predicted to hit $7.2 billion by 2018), the UC space is currently being driven by enhanced video technology and collaboration solutions being built into it, but telephony remains the core driver of the technology.
Without a doubt, the development through 2014 that has been most important in proving the value of investing in a VoIP solution has been the message delivery options. If a worker is not at his/ her desk and misses a call, it can be immediately shifted to their mobile phone. If they let it go through to voicemail, it can be delivered via email as well as in the voice bank.
This is important because it shows that the VoIP space is moving away from a focus on devices. No longer does it matter what hardware you are using to answer the phone, it is the underlying software that is important, and that software is being developed to forward communications and messages to the individual's preferred platform, whereas previously they would be stuck with using specific technology to communicate in specific ways.
The trend of bring-your-own-device, or BYOD, that most organisations are grappling with at the moment is also having an impact on their VoIP communications. It's an issue for organisations because it can lead to security breaches if handled badly, and the nature of communications (being forward-facing and a direct link between two people) means that it's an easy target for hackers and others with malicious intent.
On the other hand, it's impossible to deny BYOD to a modern office, when the ubiquity of mobile devices means that employees will use them regardless of policy. Thankfully 2014 also saw the introduction of robust enterprise apps for BYOD devices, allowing IT teams better capabilities for handling the challenges of BYOD, while still enabling full VoIP functionality.

Please consider disabling the annoying Do you want the Tapatalk app prompt for the IOS. I beg you.
I've only had it pop up one time...?
I'm getting it regularly on my iPhone and iPad lately. Just started the last few days.
I've had it pop up three times.
It's annoying but not the end of the world. If it can be tweaked then cool.
I only see it when I've logged in. If it keeps reoccurring shoot us an email and we'll bring it up to Faz.

P.K. Subban spent over seven years in Montreal with the Canadiens becoming a super star in a city that lives and breathes hockey. This past offseason the veteran defenseman and fan favorite was traded to the Nashville Predators for Shea Weber in what I can only imagine was an emotional loss for the city of Montreal. Tonight we got a glimpse at just how emotional Subban's exit may have been because in his return to Montreal the former Hab couldn't hold back the tears as a video tribute to him was played.
Fuck… it got me feeling nostalgic and I'm not even a Canadiens fan.
Have a look because I've got something in my eye…
P.K. Subban returned to Montreal tonight, and cried during a long standing ovation. pic.twitter.com/VS7OpU4XBJ

When I was a kid, I was a very serious bookworm and one of my favorite responses to the question of: "what do you want to be when you grow up?" was "a school librarian." What better job was there, than to be in charge of all of the books in the school's library and have control over that little date stamp and ink pad?!
I was also an avid organizer (and still am!) and I spent many a rainy day organizing my books alphabetically, or by size, or whatever other pattern fit my fancy. If only the Little Librarian Home Library Kit had been available back then!
This affordable kit will allow your child to transform his or her collection of books into a full blown library! The Home Library Kit will not only encourage hours and hours (and hours!) of imaginative play, but it will also get kids excited about reading and teach them about responsibility and deadlines. Lend out a book to a friend, relative or even a stuffed animal. Then keep record of books borrowed and returned, track due dates, issue overdue slips, and present reading awards. JUST like a real librarian!
Little Librarian kits are made and assembled in the U.S. It's the perfect gift for any young book lover and, hey, maybe you can have a little fun with it too!

Ever thought of traveling off the beaten path and glimpsing a side of India that few tourists see? From pristine beaches to quirky villages, hidden architectural marvels and more, there is no shortage of such unseen places in India. These pristine surroundings are waiting to be discovered. Check out these 24 offbeat destinations that are just begging for you to visit them!
Approximately 70 km from Bangalore, this unique hillside is heaven for cave explorers. It is scattered with a plethora of caves formed from small volcanic rocks. The caves are both welcoming and intimidating at the same time.
What adds to its charm? There's a spring that emerges from a small crevice in the rock, a mysterious source. Local people believe the water of the stream to be very holy.
The small town of Umri in Allahabad, believed to be 250 years old, has perplexed researchers all over the world. Out of every 1,000 children born here, 45 are twins. In the last 80 years, the village has had 108 twins, which is amazingy. The reason for this remains unknown. But the villagers believe it to be god's miracle.
Located about 45 km southeast of Leh is the beautiful town of Hemis. The town is popular for its Hemis monastery and a colorful festival that it celebrates every year.
Like with other haunted places, Bhangarh has no shortage of myths and ghost stories. But unlike other places this one is so haunted the government of India has made it illegal to enter the grounds. Apparently anyone who has been out past sunrise in the ruined town of Bhangarh, also known as Bhangarh Fort, has never returned alive.
About 11 km from Nagarjuna Sagar Dam in Andhra Pradesh lies Ethipothala, which is home to the spellbinding Ethipothala Waterfall. The falls are a union of three streams and are quite a sight to behold.
Sprawling over forty acres, the 300-year-old Bekal Fort is shaped like a giant key hole. It is one of the best preserved forts in Kerala. The observation tower in the fort offers a fascinating view of the Arabian Sea and all the major places in the vicinity.
This architectural marvel was built in the 18th century in Lucknow. It is a fantastic mix of European and Arabic architecture. The most astonishing aspect is the central arched hall, a whopping 50 meters long and about three stories high, hanging without the support of any pillars or beams!
Well known for its spice plantations, wildlife sanctuaries, hill stations and the gigantic Idukki arch dam, this district in Kerala truly is the epitome of natural beauty.
What makes this place really quirky? Idukki is known for the most unusual phenomenon called Red Rain. The colored rain of Kerala started falling in 2001. Since then it has become one of the most discussed anomalies of recent years.
This is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India and its banks are home to the world's only floating National Park. The Loktak Lake in Manipur is also called the floating lake because of the floating masses of vegetation on its surface.
About 24 km from Dalhousie, this small picturesque saucer-shaped plateau is a wonderful destination. For a peaceful sojourn in the lap of the Himalayas, this is the ideal place for relaxation.
For all the tea lovers reading this, this is one place you would crave to visit. At 7,900 ft above sea level the hills of Kolkkumalai in Tamil Nadu produce tea which has a special flavor and freshness.
In the northeast of the Kullu Valley lies the solitary village of Malana. The village is considered to be one of the first democracies in the world. It is also home to the notorious Malana cream, arguably the finest quality hash ever produced.
Do you cringe at the sight of litter on streets in India? Well then you will be surprised to know about this village. Located about 100 km from Shillong is Mawlynnog, a small village in the East Khasi Hills. In 2003 it won the award of being the cleanest village -- not just in India but in all of Asia.
One of the five tallest waterfalls in the country, Nohkalikai Falls near Cherrapunji is named after the horrific tale of a woman named Ka Likai. The legend behind this gorgeous fall makes it all the more intriguing and beautiful.
Full of palaces and shrines still retaining their original grandeur, the city of Orchha dates back to 1501 and is a must for all history / culture / architecture buffs. It is located near the banks of Betwa River in Madhya Pradesh.
Situated at an altitude of 5,029 metres in the Himalayas, this lake is popularly known as Skeleton Lake. Skeletons of about 200 people belonging to the 9th century were discovered here. It was later found that a hailstorm had killed the people. To this day, visitors can still see those skeletons.
A village at about 200 km from Pune follows a frightful custom. Each house in this village has a resting place for cobras in the rafters of their ceilings. No cases of snake bites have been reported in this village despite snakes moving about freely in every household.
Tucked away in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, the Spiti Valley is a relatively unknown world! With Tibet in the east and Ladakh in the north, this region is scattered with tiny villages and monasteries rich in traditional culture.
Located 27 km from the district of Tamenglong in Manipur, the Tharon Cave is of great archaeological and historical importance. A visit to this cave is reportedly the experience of a lifetime.
Is the USA your land of dreams? If yes, then you simply cannot miss visiting the Chilkur Balaji Temple, which is about 20 kms from Hyderabad. People believe the 21st century god of this temple has the power to grant you a US visa.
Yes, you read that right. Every week around 75,000 to 100,000 devotees visit this temple!
About 620 km from Bangalore is the ghost town of Dhanushkodi. Not only is it famously known for its mythological importance, but also for the cyclone that hit the town in 1964, which ravaged the entire region.
Located in the Thane district of Maharashtra, Vihigaons Falls is a monsoon fed waterfall. It is the perfect place for rappelling and canoeing.
About 870 meters above the sea level, this hill station is located in the State of Gujarat. The most amazing aspect about it is the rare and beautiful sea view that guests get to see.
Located at about 148 km from Gangtok, the Yumthang valley with its scenic beauty is truly a paradise for nature lovers.
Over the next six months I will be exploring as many of these locations as possible. 1 down, 23 to go! Follow along at blog.theHoliDaze.com

The place is one of the most sought after camping sites due to its awesome natural beauty and various adventure destinations. Living by the banks of the River Ganga is a great experience for anyone. July to September is the best time for enjoying camping in Rishikesh and perfect for adventure lovers.
Located in the Trans-Himalayan belt of Himachal Pradesh, Spiti Valley is described as "a world within a world" by the famous English poet Rudyard Kipling. Camping here gives you a wonderful opportunity to get close to nature and explore this stunning valley. Spiti Valley is also a well-known adventure destination amongst Indians but has yet to truly catch on with foreign tourists -- all the more reason to visit now, before it does! Camping here in May or June gives you relief from the heat of late summer.
Adventure lovers and campers gather in Mussoorie to enjoy the thrills of camping and return home with memorable experiences. You will feel like you are in a different world soaking in the splendid views of the white capped Himalayan peaks from the comfort of your camps. Mussoorie, also known as the gateway to Gangotri and Yamunotri shrines, is the favorite spot of trekkers due to its rugged terrains and scenic beauty. March to June is the ideal time for enjoying camping in Mussoorie.
Camping near to the Sam Sand Dunes in Jaisalmer gives you the opportunity to enjoy local Rajasthani food, cultural dances and more. The camps are lit by Mashaals and campfire to provide a truly royal feel of the bygone era. If you are yet not satisfied, watching stars at night from the deserts of golden city is an experience of a lifetime. You can also enjoy camel safaris in Jaisalmer. Needless to say, winter is the best season to enjoy camping here.
Camping is truly an exciting experience in the land of high passes. Enfolded by the arid mountains, Ladakh offers a variety of camping sites for campers of all types. The banks of Pangong and Tsomoriri lakes are ideal camping sites where you can explore the beauty of Ladakh. Of course some other travelers prefer camping in Markha Valley, another favorite destination among trekkers. July and August are the best months to enjoy camping in Ladakh.
Also dubbed as 'the lake of moon', Chandertal Lake is an ideal camping site. Located at an elevation of 4300m (14,107 ft) in Lahaul and Spiti Valley, Chandertal Lake offers you a great camping experience right in the lap of nature. A stay in the camps here will surely mesmerize you and bewilder your senses. However, altitude sickness may be an issue.
Known for its beautiful beaches, Goa offers campers a variety of camping sites. Spending a night at a camp on one of the Goa's most popular camping locations allows you to experience the happening culture and nightlife of Goa. Agonda beach, Ashwem beach, and Anjuna beach are a few of the best camping sites here. You will get to experience something new with a beach party while camping in Goa. And be honest, who doesn't love beach parties?
Arguably the best way to enjoy the serenity of nature, camping is one of the best outdoor activities that anyone can enjoy without intense training or practice. It allows you to escape the city and modern life, and provides an opportunity to explore the unexplored countryside. The next time you are in India, be sure to take some time off the beaten tourist trail to enjoy a little camping.

Manali is a hill station, a paradise on earth located in Himachal Pradesh at an altitude of 6400 ft (approx) above sea level. The hill station is near to the Rohtang Pass which has been a trade route in the olden days and even today. It is one of the route to reach Ladakh, another destination which is very amazing.
Manali is located on the banks of river Beas and the best time to visit it is from March to July, as after that the weather can play devil at times. You can visualize lots of landslides in the later months. The winters are from November to January and during that time you can find lots of snow here. Snow can be seen on the mountains year-round, even in the summer. The Sollang Valley and Rohtang Pass are the best option during the summer.
Well I shall mention why I love this place because its not only wonderful to sit in the lap of nature and have amazing views of mountains and valley but you can also enjoy adventure sports like paragliding, skiing, river rafting and various other adventure trips. Its best to have at least 4-5 days free when visiting Manali. Here you can see lots of tourists but especially Indian tourists, as this is one of the favorites among local travelers.
Paragliding in the mountains...AWESOME!

The strained, hyperviolent shoot-em-up "Everly," featuring Salma Hayek as a retribution-fueled sex slave trying to escape her apartment prison, feels precision-engineered for a morally torn fanboy who likes the idea of female empowerment but needs it served with a heavy dose of torture porn and glistening flesh.
Hayek is undoubtedly a photogenic dynamo, game for every dumb joke about dead whores (there are many) and wounded moan under the interminable captivity of a visitor called the Sadist. She was surely under the impression this would recast her as a hot-and-heavy badass.
But the overarching impression is that she's dancing wildly to the trite, sick genre ammo being fired at her feet by screenwriter Yale Hannon and director Joe Lynch, a pair who should have spent more time studying what works and what doesn't in exploitation vengeance fantasies. (Or maybe just gotten out more.)
Their pulverizing mash of carnage and sentimentality — there's even an innocent 5-year-old girl (Everly's daughter) crammed into the mayhem — is too calculatedly nasty to flip the switch in your brain from "repulsed" to "so icky it's fun."
MPAA rating: R for strong bloody violence, torture, nudity, sexual images, language.

Wednesday, 28 June 2017
Mater surgeons are giving Ugandan boy Benson hope through reconstructive genital surgery.
Benson underwent surgery at Mater Children's Private Brisbane on Friday 23 June, with Urologist Dr David Winkle, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr Scott Ingram and Anaesthetist Dr Amanda Harvey all donating their time.
Mater Health Chief Operating Officer Sean Hubbard believes that integral to Mater's Catholic identity and Mission is our preparedness to respond compassionately to those who are most vulnerable within our community.
"Mater is proud to support our doctors who work to provide a better outcome for patients such as Benson."
"This example of outreach to Benson Wasswa from Uganda is one component of Mater's broader community benefit response to provide healthcare to people from a refugee background, people experiencing homelessness, those in poverty, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians."
Dr Winkle said the surgery was made possible by a group of individuals and companies who are delighted and in some ways privileged, to be able to help Benson.
"It's not a common thing. Obviously it almost never happens in this environment, but in other environments it does happen."
The complex three-hour procedure was performed as planned and Benson is resting and recovering comfortably.

ANTIPOLO CITY, Philippines – A girl was reported missing last April 29 after her mother and her grandmother noticed that she was not in her bedroom.
Then, a day later, her lifeless body was found in a well just a few meters away from where she lives.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
"May damit po siya pero nakataas, tapos po yung panty niya hanggang sa tuhod," according to the chairwoman of Brgy. Mayamot, Baby Sta. Maria, in an interview with ABS-CBN.
(She's still wearing her shirt but her underwear is down to her knees.)
The reason of the girl's death remains unknown but authorities are checking if the girl was raped before she was killed; the autopsy result has not been released yet.
The investigators are working hard to find more information to solve this crime; although the police already have persons of interest, they still need witnesses and additional evidence to identify who the suspect is.
The girl was already buried last May 7. The family of the victim are seeking justice for the girl's death.
Watch the full report of ABS-CBN:
We hope for the fast resolution regarding this case. God bless to the family that the girl left behind…

Exchange Student
aeb posted a topic in Gab/Chat Room - To Discuss Anything BUT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free DietMy mom volunteers for a non-profit exchange program here on the east coast of the US. She recently noticed a young man who has celiac disease and is coming to the US for a year. The students who come live in a host family during their stay and attend the local high school. My parents and I cannot host at this point in our lives, but my mom believes that it would be best if he had host family who follows a celiac diet. The student's designated region is on the east coast of the US. My mom asked me to post on this forum (she knows that I have gotten support and knowledge here in the past) to see if there might be someone interested in learning more about hosting this young man (interest is understood to be wanting more information and nothing more). Please message back if you would like information or have any questions. I understand that hosting is not for everyone, but if you know anyone or you yourself would like more information please reach out to me. I myself was an exchange student and had a wonderful experience made all the more special by the strong bond with my host family.
Learning Another Language?
aeb replied to Newtoitall's topic in Gab/Chat Room - To Discuss Anything BUT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free DietI lived in Argentina for a year after high school, I now speak Spanish fluently. I took a semester of portuguese in college. But I think that immersion in the language is the best way to learn a language. To get started without a big investment a lot of libraries in the us have language learning discs (good for in the car). Also the bbc has online language learning modules for free.
First Gi Appt Next Week
aeb replied to ashlee.ream's topic in Celiac Disease - Teenagers & Young Adults OnlyI'm by no means an expert on this, I have a bit of a distrust for drs. I would think the apt will be very different if you have already been diagnosed than if you haven't. I think there a lots of posts on what tests to ask for. I would suggest writing down symptoms you have, when you started noticing them, and when during the day the symptoms occur. Good luck!

What Are Your Thanksgiving Plans This Year?
aeb replied to AVR1962's topic in Gab/Chat Room - To Discuss Anything BUT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free DietMy dad and I will be walking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Ironically we were assigned to the Pillsbury Dough Boy, I guess he is really cute though. My favorite food cartoon as a kid!
Building Momentum
aeb replied to Celiac Ninja's topic in Gluten-Free Sports and FitnessI have often considered becoming a volunteer firefighter, but with my current schedule impossible. I did join one in the summer of 2010, but again I was too busy to really get trained (AKA save someone) and then I moved. They do have some positions that are less physically demanding (at least they did in the area I lived). Plus, I think a major part of becoming a firefighter is building up the endurance to actually be one. I think you should go for it, maybe not as a career change but volunteer, if there is a volunteer department in your area and you would have the time.
Frequent "glutenings"
aeb replied to Elfbaby's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithMy little sister is also a bit jealous of the "attention" my mom gives to my special diet. I am living at home while at grad school, my sister spends most of the year away at college. So my parents and I are really close. My sister decided to become a vegetarian right after I went gluten free. I haven't seen her actively putting gluten in my gluten free condiments and things, but she is always putting my food down and saying that just a little wont hurt. So I started making a big deal about accommodating her vegetarianism when she visits. Maybe try to find something to "accommodate" your sister, give her some additional attention.
Did You Have Hair Loss From Celiac?
aeb replied to Prezwilson15's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI have always had a lot of hair, and correspondingly loose more than most. When I started getting really sick I was loosing lots and lots, I mean shower clogging amounts. After going gluten free my hair is staying more where it belongs, on my head. However, when I get glutened my hair starts falling out a bit more. It took a while for me to notice that it wasnt falling out as much, nearly a year after going completely gluten free. Give it some time and be glad that you started with a lot of hair.
Your Top Two Pieces Of Advice
aeb replied to Korwyn's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)1) Remember you get the sick feeling after eating gluten, the people offering you suspicious (or openly) gluten filled foods....they only get the good feeling of sharing with you 2) Its important to be comfortable and healthy, it is not necessary to justify the gluten free diet (or any other).
aeb replied to Roda's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI have mentioned trying gluten free to my sister a few times. Her response is always...but then what would I eat. UMMMMM.....have she not seen the shelves full of gluten free foods in the house. I probably have more yummy snacks than she does, and they aren't even all sugary. She always mentions that I get anxious, tired, and snippy (to be polite) when I get glutened when my parents take us out to dinner (they all see it as a special occasion, I see it as playing russian rulet). Yet, she is much more anxious, snippy, and tired than I am. It is fear of the known restrictions that puts people on the defensive. And yes, you do "get used to" feeling sick, after so many people told me I was exaggerating, making things up, having mental issues, etc....I thought that I was and everyone must feel as sick as I did. Our family members just don't realize they aren't healthy but can be. I have decided to hope that eventually they will decide to try it on their own, I can't force them.
Food Lion?
aeb replied to nerdolicious's topic in Gluten-Free TravelWhen I was there last summer there was a great whole foods store. I never went myself but the person who did the shopping came back with a bunch of stuff labeled gluten free and said there was so much she didnt know what to get. Even in the prepared foods section, they reassured her that everything is prepared separately and no switching of spoons (the staff served it). The shopper was a nutritionist so she knew what questions to ask. Maybe there will be a whole foods near where you are going.
Annoying Friends!
aeb replied to Victoria6102's topic in Celiac Disease - Teenagers & Young Adults OnlyYou may not believe this but even as a grad student I have felt this a little. I being cereal with me to my early morning class and snack during break. The other students "tease" about my kix cereal, and not its not actually kix but a gluten free version. We then went through the whole, want a piece of my muffin thing, no thanks im allergic, it doesnt have nuts, im not allergic to nuts thanks anyway, then what are you allergic to, gluten its in wheat. Yes I find it easier with people I am not close with to describe it as an allergy. And I got to do it all again a weak later when a someone brought in a b-day snack, except she didnt realize that white wheat is still wheat (she really wanted me to try it because it didnt have whole wheat). I dont mind this, people want to share food, its nice (as long as its not my expensive foods). But then this girl goes around to everyone offering food and asking (a bit loudly) if they have a food allergy declaring that it doesnt have nuts (why is it always nuts???) So yea, of course a bit awkward for me, cuse of course no one else had an allergy, and the girls friend then glares at me and says "Its special for her birthday" like my gluten intolerance is something personal against her. SO the point of this is just be confident in you. dont let people get under your skin, I know its hard, Im still not 100% there yet and I think Im probably nearly 10 yrs older. As you find yummy foods and share them with new friends, they will think being gluten free is something good. My best friends dad went this way, he bought foods for me to eat when I visit (tortillas, chips, crackers, dips, etc), and tried them, now they get them all the time for themselves. As for your youth group, I agree talk with the pastor or just tell the kids, if I was a diabetic and didnt share your cake would you tease me, if I were allergic to peanuts would you taunt me with your PB&J; they probably will say no. Celiac is the same, you shouldn't be teased for following a diet that makes you feel good and keeps you healthy. Seems to me like you are doing a good job, spend time with people who will support you and not bring you down. Good luck!
Anyone From Md
aeb replied to GFREEGURL's topic in Celiac Meeting RoomI'm from MD. Between Baltimore and DC. I tested negative for celiac genes, but am severely gluten intolerant.
How To Suggest Idea Of Going Gluten Free?
aeb replied to revenant's topic in Celiac Disease - Friends and Loved Ones of CeliacsA friend of mine who has celiac recommended that I get tested for gluten intolerance. She noticed that I was loosing weight and not going out with friends as much. This was in college. After she mentioned it to me, I already had an idea what it was from being friends with her but never thought that it could affect me. I did go to doctors and got the tests done. Many of my nutrient levels were low and there was no other reason for the weight loss. I tried what I call a simple diet, white rice and plain veggies and fruits and yogurt. I felt much better until I came home for summer break, and my mom made me a lovely whole wheat sandwich everyday for lunch at work. Back at school in the fall I started my gluten free diet again So yes, you should find a way to bring it up if possible, without getting to graphic, but don't expect immediate results or gratitude. I only truly went gluten free almost 8 or 9 months after she mentioned it to me. But I am extremely grateful that she took a chance and suggested the idea to me.

Wow, quite the difference between the two photos. You look nice in the top picture, but have a look that would be easy to overlook. Not because there is anything wrong with you, just that your style would make you blend in to the crowd and not stand out. You wouldn't turn a lot of heads. Which is a shame, because when you get done up, you look really, really good. You pull off the outfit beautifully, the pose is cute and catching. Looking the way you do in the second picture, you would definitely be turning heads.
So... I guess my opinion is that you are very attractive, but maybe lack confidence in yourself in normal day-to-day situations and feel more comfortable dressed modestly and not drawing attention to yourself.00|00|0

text: Business Stocks Share 0 Tweet Photo IBM Buyers' Strike Predicts a Rough Quarter By Alan Farley | July 6, 2017 — 1:11 PM EDT Dow component International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) ended a 14-month recovery wave in April 2017, dropping more than eight points in a single session after reporting the 20th consecutive quarterly decline in year-over-year revenues. It took a second hit a few weeks later following news that legendary investor Warren Buffett had sold one-third of his $11 million stake, his second 2017 sale. The stock bottomed out near $150 on May 10 but has failed to gain ground in the past two months, despite a historic tech rally that has lifted many components to all-time highs. IBM stock has also failed to trade back into the broken 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), a major line-in-the-sand between bull and bear markets. This limp action tells observant market players to expect a weak quarter and lower prices when the company reports second quarter results on July 18. (See also: Who Is Driving IBM's Management Team?) IBM Long-Term Chart (1993 – 2017) This old-school tech behemoth ground sideways for more than 25 years into the 1990s, selling off repeatedly into long-term support near $10.00. IBM stock entered a historic rally at that level in 1993, powered by the embryonic World Wide Web and silicon chip processing breakthroughs. The stock rose nearly 1,400% during this fruitful period, while splitting twice during an ascent into the 1999 high at $138.35. The stock tested that resistance level repeatedly into the start of 2002 and plunged, breaking four-year support in the mid-$80s before finding support at $54.01 in October 2002. Weak action persisted through the mid-decade bull market, with the stock failing to mount the 2004 high in the mid-$90s until a 2007 rally burst failed at 1999 resistance. IBM relinquished those gains during the 2008 economic collapse, posting a six-year low at support in the $70s in November. (For more, see: Behind IBM's 87.6% Rise in 10 Years.) A bounce into 2009 gained traction, reaching the prior high at the start of 2010, ahead of a breakout that generated the most prolific returns since the 1990s. That uptick stalled above $200 in 2012, yielding a topping pattern that broke down in 2014, generating a steep decline to a six-year low near $115. The stock bounced through 2016, posted a lower high above $180 in February 2017 and fell more than 30 points into the May 2017 low near $150. The monthly stochastics oscillator entered a sell cycle three months ago and has now reached the deepest oversold level since 2002. This lopsided reading could inhibit third quarter selling pressure while energizing remaining bulls if the company surprises to the upside. Even so, the monthly pattern continues to advertise even lower prices due to the April rejection at 50-month EMA resistance. (See also: Why IBM Will Go On Forever.) IBM Short-Term Chart (2013 – 2017) The final wave of the three-year downtrend started at $198 in April 2014, generating an 81-point decline. The bounce into February 2017 stalled at the .786 Fibonacci sell-off retracement, which has a nasty reputation for generating lower highs within topping patterns. An impulsive selling wave ended at $150, followed by a bear flag that filled the May 11 gap. This progressive structure predicts that sellers will return soon and generate even lower lows. On-balance volume (OBV) peaked in 2012 and stair-stepped lower into 2016, signaling steady institutional abandonment. A bounce into 2017 failed to end the five-year string of lower indicator highs, while the downturn into the third quarter needs little selling pressure to reach the downtrend low. A breakdown at that level would set off a wave of sell signals, possibly signaling revenue contraction into the next decade as well as a secular decline in stock value. (For more, see: Technology Stocks: Do They All Deserve to Fall?) The Bottom Line IBM has failed to find new ways to grow in the current bull market cycle and is underperforming other high-technology components. Long-term technical deterioration has now entered its sixth year and could accelerate when benchmarks finally signal the top of this bull market cycle.

text: My week started off badly enough with my difficult child having a meltdown over the phone with me. Then I tore a muscle in my calf, and while having it x-rayed they found "significant increase in the bone density." The orthopedist showed me the x-ray and there is a shadowed area in the bone. He "can't say what it could be without more tests," so I get to worry until I have the MRI next week and then wait four days for the results. A few hours after getting that news, easy child/difficult child daughter calls to tell me she's found out her husband has been having sex with the 18 year old babysitter for about 6 months. Her husband is a recovering alcoholic/addict who just finished his 4th stint in rehab. Life with him has never been easy but this has devastated her, she has 4 kids. I'm 2 hours away from her and feel terrible that I'm not there. I know I can't fix this but she needs a shoulder to lean on. Boy, it's true, bad things seem to come in threes, don't they?!

Some time ago, i spoke with a relative of mine who used to campaign to people in Nigeria about the existence of the "spirits of poverty" and their activities in people's lives, he used to recommend them to pray and "cast" out these "demons" from their families.
And also, i've seen and heard people singing songs like: "Me, i no go suffer, i no go beg for food; God of miracle, na my papa o!"
It was impossible to convince him (my relative) that he imagined there are spirits of poverty because he was in Nigeria. Now, at the moment, he's in Canada, and few days ago, i asked him his current opinion about the spirit of poverty. He laughed and said "nonsense, i don't really think that there's any such thing like the spirit(s) or demon(s) of poverty".
My people, there is absolutely no such demons like "spirits of poverty" If there is any entity responsible for poverty: that entity is/are the leader(s) of the countries.
What do you expect, some greedy evil humans (in the positions of leaders) are enriching themselves with what is supposed to be used for the benefit of all people, now, the people are so poor that they need "miracles" to get food to eat, and you blame the devil for it?
"Me, i no go suffer, i no go beg for food; God of miracle, na my papa o!"
Come to think about this: is it actually a miracle to feed, why are the Americans or the Europeans not praying for "miracle" for food?
Food is surplus hence there are obesities everywhere, so those who maintain slim figures are considered as human models.
The holy book says: "remove the wicked from the throne, and his kingdom will be established in righteousness".
What do you think, are there spirits/demons of poverty? comments please.

Top 15 Teacher Skills to be best on the Job
Teaching is a job, practice or profession that requires that anyone interested in pursuing a career in it should possess certain skills and qualities to be the best teacher around.
A teacher should be able to help his/her students grow mentally, physically, and psychologically, and to develop the right qualities to succeed in life.
To be best on the teaching job, here are 15 skills and qualities to have:
1. Ability to Learn New Things: A teacher should be busy with steady research of what to teach, and not a type that gets the students loaded up with worksheets from textbooks. A good teacher should be able to change lessons that are irrelevant and look for ways he/she can always improve.
2. Innovation: Introduction of new technologies and ways will enhance your teaching model and give you an opportunity to lay your hands on different devices and equipment. He/she should be able to use the social media or the web instead of textbooks to teach his/her students.
3. Kindness: The only thing that can make the students to develop love for you as a teacher is when you try not to be harsh, but wear some nature of humility, gentleness, kindness, and benevolence. The students would respect and obey you if you are kind to them.
4. Respect for students: Every student deserves some respect, especially during learning sections. Listen to your students to know the areas they are having difficulties, and help them solve their problems.
5. A Pardonable Heart: Children are liable to making mistakes no matter the number of times they have been corrected. It takes you as a teacher to give room for the students to grow. Don't keep mentioning their mistakes or offenses but have a forgiving heart. Children can easily improve and succeed in a conducive and accommodating environment, especially when the teacher is pardonable.
6. Listening Skills: Teachers should listen attentively to their students' questions. They should take time to understand their points when they are asking or answering questions, and not interrupting them. If the teacher wants to ask questions, it is most necessary that they become relevant questions.
7. Proper Time Management: Every teacher has to spend enough time to prepare the students for class, teach, attend school meetings and serve whenever necessary. The students tend to love their teacher more when he/she spends long hours with them. How you manage your time engaging in school activities determines how much love and affection the students will have for you.
8. Collaboration: Every good teacher merges with colleagues so as to gain more knowledge and experience. Collaboration is another way you can learn from other teachers who have been in the field before you. You seem to grow when you accept criticism and advice.
9. Creative Thinking: A good teacher should be able to think creatively and look for ways to actualize their thoughts. Being creative helps both you and the children you teach to improve. The students have a lot to learn from you, and you feel more confident possessing such potentials.
10. Judgment and Decision Making: Sound judgment and good decision making truly make a very good teacher. Teachers should be able to analyze consequences of some actions to know the best decision to take.
11. Problem Solving: There are difficult and complicated problems that require proper evaluation in order to find solutions. Most times teachers implement solutions through reviewing of some information that are related to the issue.
12. Writing Skills: A teacher should possess the skills of communicating effectively in writing so that the students can properly understand him/her. Your communication skills should also be felt in writing, if not your students will find it hard to catch up with you.
13. Organization: Teachers should be able to keep things well-arranged and in order so as to easily access them. There are many complex tasks in the teaching profession that require good organization skills to carry out. If you don't organize yourself, you will likely lose a lot of materials because you would always get confused.
14. Patience: Some classes are difficult to handle because of obstinate behaviors of students. If teachers are not patient enough, they could not maintain a noisy and disordered class. Sometimes the teacher has to explain concepts many times before the students can understand. That is the reason they have to always be calm and patient.
15. Commitment: It is necessary that teachers are committed to their work, especially when teaching the young ones. Being committed helps teachers with huge responsibilities, as this reduces the amount of challenges they face in their profession.
If you are a teacher who wants to be best on your job, or are a student who needs the services of a good teacher, these skills are what to look for when hiring one.

This youth work session plan on integrity is easy and versatile. You can cover many different topics about youth's personal and social development and simply change out the film.
Don't get lazy and do it all the time, but every so often a good film with a strong message can help youth, particularly those struggling with an issue. The key is in the questioning and follow-up after the film.
For a session about integrity, I'd recommend Forever Strong. It has a good IMDB rating and a strong message of good sportsmanship, brotherhood and integrity. It does have some faith-based overtones but they aren't the main focus of the film. The primary message is to make good choices and own up to bad ones in order to be strong in life.
While this session could be done as a large group activity or movie night – and girls certainly aren't exempt from enjoying it or learning lessons from it – it might be most effective among a small group of young men. Spend time together doing an activity everyone can enjoy, watch the film and then explore the themes of the film.
Here are some sample questions from Forever Strong you might try or make up some of your own:
- What does integrity mean?
- Is it important? Why or why not?
- Which character did you most identify with? Why?
- Which character did you like the least? Why?
- Have you experienced any of the situations represented in the film? With this question, use discretion and make it a safe space for sharing any problems, issues and experiences without judgement or fear of retribution – except in child protection confidentiality matters)
- Is your dad hard on you?
- Have you spent time in juvenile detention?
- Have you been under the influence when driving?
- Have you spent time volunteering?
- Have you been a part of a team like the Razorbacks?
- Have you been a part of a team like Highland?
- Have you had a coach like Rick's dad?
- Have you had a friend or close family member die?
Take the time to listen to any issues raised by the group; everyone may not get the same feelings. Allow the group time to discuss and debate any feelings or experiences that arise from watching the film.
Question: What movies and topics can you recommend? Please share your ideas in the comments below.

Title: Twenty Boy Summer
Author: Sarah Ockler
Pub. Date: July 2009
"Don't worry, Anna. I'll tell her, okay? Just let me think about the best way to do it."
"Promise me? Promise you won't say anything?"
"Don't worry." I laughed. "It's our secret, right?"
According to her best friend Frankie, twenty days in is the perfect opportunity to have a summer fling, and if they meet one boy ever day, there's a pretty good chance Anna will find her first summer romance. Anna lightheartedly agrees to the game, but there's something she hasn't told Frankie---she's already had that kind of romance, and it was with Frankie's older brother, Matt, just before his tragic death one year ago.
Addicting, realistic, heartbreaking, and entertaining, Twenty Boy Summer was a guilty pleasure. Knowing how much I loved other books about grief and loss of a loved one, I just knew I was going to love this. Indeed, this summer read will have you craving summer romance.
It's been a year since the death of Matt, Anna's significant other. Matt's sister Frankie, has no knowledge of their relationship. Anna still grieves and mourns the death of Matt in silencce, even though it's summer and time to look for new summer flings. After Frankie comes up with the Twenty Boy Summer, a contest to see who can get the most boys, Anna is obligated to participate.
Mouth-opening, jaw-dropping, and incredible was Twenty Boy Summer. It was shockingly a powerful story of love, grief, friendship, and moving on after the death of a significant other.
In Twenty Boy Summer, I got a secondhand look at falling in love and then losing the most that special somebody. Ockler made it come alive in my mind, it was splendid. It exposed me to circumstances I haven't been exposed to in real life, and it felt good reading about them. Ockler writing was sentimental, tear-jerking, while being amusing and entertaining.
I was drawn to Anna the most. For half the book, I was deeply annoyed by Frankie who was always trying be rebellious. Almost all characters had depth to them, and weren't flat. They all expressed so many emotions, which kept me lured.
While this book was a admirable, I do have some complaints. Smoking and views on virginity were distracting. I don't know what Ockler's intentions were on this, but they did bother. Virginity wasn't viewed as wonderful, valuable, or gratifying. It was viewed more as something that girl's should be desperate to lose. While this was a throw off for me, I'm sure not many people would be bothered by this, as it is common in YA today.
The sea glass concept was genius and brought more twists. Words don't come to me easy to explain how good it was, in a sense that it let me see deep feelings and emotions. Like how in a second you can one of the most special things to you. Twenty Boy Summer allowed me to see some meaning in life. (And, it did bring some tears to my eyes.)
Characters: (8/10)
Ending: (8/10)
Enjoyment: (10/10)
Cover: (9/10)
Overall: 44/50 = 90% = A-
Cover: The red sea glass pops out with the blue sea glass. I think it portrays heartbreak. Suits the book, perfectly.

A general surgeon who was suspended for 12 months last year after leaving a breast cancer patient with a deformed chest at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary has been suspended for a further 12 months after failing to meet requirements for study, remediation, and reflection set by the original tribunal.
