Wednesday Review--We Married Koreans: Personal Stories of American Women with Korean Husbands
One of the books I did want to keep with me, however, was We Married Koreans, a collection of 12 true stories of interracial, intercultural marriages between American women and Korean men in the 1960s. The collection is edited by Gloria Goodwin Hurh, whose own story appears in Chapter 5.
If you have any interest in American or Korean cultures during the last 50 years or in intercultural marriages in general, you should read this book. Do not be put off by the fact that it is self-published and therefore contains some errors in grammar and usage that (hopefully) would have been caught by a professional editor or that the women are not professional writers. It tells a fascinating history, both personal and cultural, of Korea as it struggled towards democracy (one woman's husband was imprisoned for anti-government demonstrations in Korea) and America as it struggled towards racial equality (many of the women speak frankly about some of the racial epithets hurled at their children). The couples mostly met, married, and lived in America, but most lived for at least a short time in Korea and one missionary couple spent most of their marriage in the Korean expat community in Brazil. I feel like I just sat down and read 12 very good personal blogs about Korea.
Each woman speaks positively of marriage and praises intercultural marriage, despite the challenges they have faced. None of them have divorced and most stories are accompanied by a picture of the couple from within the last five years, graying and wrinkled, but still together. I was particularly moved by the stories of Faye Moon, Dixie Whong, and Sharon Shin, but I got something new and interesting from each story. Many of the women were Christian missionaries or united to their husband by a strong faith, which did not speak to me as much as it might have to someone from their era, but I still enjoyed reading the book very much.
I can only hope that Min Gi and I will be as happy together in our future as these couples seem to be.

Well said; other reviews from WWKM marriages have left me wondering if there was any substance to the book or not. Your review makes me interested in actually look for the book.ReplyDelete
Your first 5 days was a good read as well. The descriptive differences made it easy to picture and appreciate.
Well, I'm really into personal histories. ;-) If you can look past the fact that these women are not professional writers, and that it is not professionally edited and aren't too turned off by a bit of Christian rhetoric (remembering that many of these women were missionaries--it's really small, but I know people where even a mention of "I'm Christian" ruins a book for them), then it's full of goodness. Think of it more as transcribed, unedited interviews than a book and you'll probably enjoy it!ReplyDelete

ReviewBought used. 3 years old and 34000 miles. Avg hwy 27mpg. 2 problems, exhaust heat shield weld broke and rattles and like previous posts, head gasket gone at 95k. Was losing a third of my anti-freeze. Yet couldn't find out where it was going. Not on the ground or in the oil??? Other than that mechanic said engine is good, Cylinder pressure test 155-160. Leakage 2%. Except for the engine repair this car has served me well. I have done several 20 hour road trips at 75 mph. Including a DEN-IND-DEN run during the blizzard in Dec 06. Must have picked up a few hundred pounds of ice yet the car was stable and predictable. MPG dropped to 21 hwy.
Best FeaturesHeated seats/mirrors and wipers. AWD. Lots of room.
Worst FeaturesEngine reliability. Seats need more padding. Better cup holders. Exhaust heat shield to avoid rattles.

Thousands of Boy Scouts collect food at DFW-area homes
Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and volunteers spent Saturday collecting food across North Texas.
Scouting for Food is the largest door-to-door food collection effort in DFW. It benefits more than 45 assistance agencies across the area. On one day, approximately 30,000 Scouts knock on doors, collecting non-perishable food items for families in need. The food is the distributed to local food pantries and assistance agencies.
Food items can also be dropped off or purchased at any Tom Thumb throughout February.
Fox 4 is a proud sponsor of the event.

I'm not usually one to put teaching above any other profession. Every job is different and taxing in complete unique ways. If I stood in your shoes, I might not make it until lunch on a regular work day. If you stood in mine, you may murder a teenager before 2nd period ended. To each their own. But, let me tell you, I would put teaching up against any job as being one of the most exhausting career paths.
We plan lessons and track data, of course. But the real meat of teaching happens in a thousand on-the-fly conversations that come up throughout the day. You have to be quick thinking, decisive, understanding, firm, flexible, kind, harsh, smart, humble, funny, and serious – sometimes all in a matter of 10-15 minutes or so.
There are days I leave work that I get in my car and turn off my phone and the radio and just sit in silence for five minutes before driving home because my brain has just hit capacity. I've hit my word limit for the day. And if I come home and, heaven forbid, sit down on the couch, I will fall asleep in five minute, flat.
And on those days when your job just absolutely drains your brain, your body, and your emotions, you better have a killer group of friends to pick you up and cheer you on.
I happen to be lucky enough to have those kinds of friends up and down my hallways in my school. My hallway is lined with teachers who love teaching, who love our students, who work hard, and who give 110% every day of the year. And because we all give, we all need sometimes, too. Sometimes it's a pat on the back when you just taught your heart out for weeks and your students bomb their tests. Sometimes it's a high five when that one student that you just haven't reached all year finally raises their hand and answers a question correctly in class. Sometimes it's a discreet head nod of encouragement when you're facing a raging parent in a parent/teacher conference. Sometimes it's a shoulder to cry on when life just doesn't go as planned.
Whether you are a teacher or not, whatever your profession, whatever your daily demands, nothing is better than having friends who've got your back.
These are mine.
And I'm so glad that they are.

Recently NH started doing OBD2 inspections for emissions, starting with, ta-da, '96 and newer cars. So it looks like by Nov I have to be rid of the car (inspection due by then). If I was living back in ND this would not even be an issue. I wrote the state asking if I could get an exemption and they in turn contacted EPA who basically said: " I would have to PROVE that the car was legally imported" and around inspection time I would need to produce such documentation. Problem is, I don't think the car was ever legally imported. Some Canadian bought it , took it to TX . I assume he worked there a couple of years then sold or traded it, then it went to a guy in Mass and now I have it. I contacted a Registered Importer, one who has specifically imported a 1996 S6 and he pretty much told me I was SOL or I could spend 5-10k to try install OBD2 ( ya right). So, the question now is what to replace it with? I want to stay in the VW/Audi family, I still like the S6. However I really, really want a Europa Blue sedan none has come up in the last 6 months or so. Another Cashmere one would be OK too. Don't really care for the Black ,Pearl White and Red. My dad had 3 green cars in a row so I don't want one of those either. I could swap some of my parts on the new S6 depending on what it came with. A newish A4 w/ 1.8T or 2.0T and quattro might be another possiblilty. My friend is going to let me borrow his 2006 GTI for a week, that would let me know if I would even be interested in the newer GTI/GLIs. I had a '85 GTI for 16 yrs and put 240k miles on it. I would have to buy another car first as this is my only car.

Frequently Asked Questions on applying to the Reilly Center's Social Responsibilities of Researchers program
1. Will the SRR program fulfill my Graduate School mandated Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) ethics training requirement at Notre Dame?
No. The SRR program assumes that you have already completed basic RCR training and are ready to delve deeper. While RCR instructs researchers on how to conduct their research ethically, SRR helps enable researchers to take the next step and engage the broader society about the potential impacts of their research. While RCR is a minimal requirement to do research, SRR is intended to cultivate ethical leaders. See the top of the main page for more details on the differences between RCR and SRR.
2. Is this the Graduate School STEM ethics leadership training program? If not, what is the difference?
No. The Graduate School's EL-STEM program is separate but related. EL-STEM is drawn from business ethics and leadership training, while SRR is drawn from science ethics and Science and Technology Studies (STS). See here for a description of the EL-STEM program and how to apply to it. See here for a description of the difference between them.
3. I'm an international student. May I apply?
Yes. While NSF will not support international students directly (e.g., with Fellowships), there is no restriction in participating in NSF-funded programs such as SRR. This includes eligibility for the stipend.
4. I'm traveling for research this summer. Can I still do SRR?
Yes. You will need to be on campus full-time for the five-day Boot Camp, May 22-26, 2017. This is the week immediately following commencement. However, no other formal activities are scheduled for summer. Our bi-weekly brown-bag meetings will begin in fall. You should plan to spend some of your summer refining and beginning to plan the in-service project that you will propose to us at the end of the Boot Camp. But you do not need to be on campus in summer to continue developing this.
5. Will SRR support travel?
Probably not. We will have a limited supply budget to support in-service projects. However, it will likely not be sufficient to cover activities that require substantial travel. If your in-service project requires travel, it may be feasible to combine it with already-supported trips. In addition, the Reilly Center accepts grant proposals three times a year for which you are eligible to apply. See more information here.
6. I already receive a stipend from my department or an external source. Can I receive the SRR stipend in addition?
Yes. We expect that as PhD students you are already receiving some form of full-time support. Our program stipend is designed to be paid in addition. It's our way of not only incentivizing participation, but signaling to your home department that we believe this experience is valuable enough to support with our own funds. Stipends will be paid over at least two payments, one at the start and one near the end of the program.
7. Do I need to know what my service project will be when I apply?
No. We would like to hear about whatever ideas you have for a service project, or even just what kinds of social relevancies you see in your research that are of interest to you. This will help us understand your interests and how we could support them, as well as demonstrate to us your commitment to such issues. However, by no means must you have a complete idea for a project. We will work with you, beginning in the Boot Camp, to conceive and develop project ideas. One of the factors in choosing your project will be the kind of personnel and contacts we can provide you with to make the project feasible.
8. I do pure research (e.g., in math or physics). Does my research still have social ramifications?
Yes. Even if your research is abstract, it can quickly lead to practical applications that have real-world implications. Pure math, for example, underlies cryptographic security which is now essential to global trade and interaction. Another way to look at this is that your work, however abstract, is likely being supported by public funds in some way. This is clear evidence that your research is recognized as having social value and relevance.
9. I am taking classes and/or working in a lab next year. Do I have time to do SRR?
Probably. The program is intended for full-time PhD students with the usual responsibilities. The overall time commitment is expected to be only one or two hours a week for the year following the initial one-week Boot Camp. The precise amount of time you invest will be largely up to you and the type of project you choose to undertake.
10. The website says that you are accepting applications from first- and second-year STEM PhD students, but elsewhere it says that the program is for second- and third-year students. Which is it?
Both. The SRR program starts just after the academic year ends, and persists for an entire year. So while the program will have second- and third-year students participating in it, those same students are, at the moment, first- and second-year respectively. This is what is meant when the website says that "Applications are made in the preceding year as a first- or second-year student."
11. What's an example of an in-service project?
Any sort of activity that would help bring the results of your research or the findings of your field to a wider, non-academic audience, and help you better understand the way that these individuals may be impacted by your research. Examples include:
- Presenting your work to the general public at a series of open events
- Working with a population likely to be specifically impacted by your work
- Publishing an article for a general audience on some aspect of your research or its social relevance
- Working with school-age children to help them understand what your field or research is about
- Convening a Science Cafe event or presenting at a museum
- Using blogging and social media to start a discussion or disseminate useful research results to a general audience
This is just a sampling to help you get started. Feel free to bring your own ideas about how your research has social relevance and what kind of project could enhance that relevance or create interactions around it.

Of course, with all of the headlines already surrounding Bruce, things took a tragic turn on Saturday when the former Olympian was involved in a four-car collision that left one woman dead.
A source told Us Weekly that the 65-year-old is "devastated" after the accident, which is completely understandable. "He knows he wasn't responsible but he still feels terrible," their source says. "This past week was rough for him."
Despite the obvious emotional toll such an incident would have on any one of us, Bruce is reportedly staying on schedule with the filming of his docuseries. TMZ reports that production sources tell them there has been no move to slow down or modify production in any way and that Bruce has not indicated that he's had a chance of heart in light of recent events.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but Bruce has been cooperating fully with investigators. He submitted to a voluntary field sobriety test at the scene and went to a local hospital to have his blood drawn for blood alcohol testing. He has also volunteered to give his cell phone records to law enforcement to prove that he was not texting at the time the incident occurred.
Bruce's docuseries could begin airing as early as May.

Look in the prospectus on pages 269 - 275 (assuming you are a U.S. based shareholder) for a detailed explanation. My interpretation is that both are basically the same except for the timing of the taxable event. Option A (ordinary shares & $12.50 div/share) is taxable upon the event. Option B (exchangeable shares) is taxable when you exercise the exchange at some point in the future.
I own my shares in an IRA so I don't think Option B will buy me anything. If I owned them outside my IRA account and bought them within 12 months of the event, I might go with Option B to avoid short term gain taxation.

January 27, 2009 – Following recent declarations published in the press according to which the profiles of some thirty riders registered in the biological passport are to be considered as suspect, the International Cycling Union (UCI) would like to clarify this matter.
In actual fact, these statements do not correspond exactly to what an in-depth analysis by the UCI experts has established is the present situation.
Throughout 2008 the UCI collected approximately 8'300 blood samples which were integrated into the biological passports of 804 riders.
The lab analysis results of each sample were processed in a mathematical model which yields the individual blood profile of each rider.
It has taken time before enough samples were collected in order to build a profile for each rider which was elaborate enough for drawing conclusions.
The profiles have been submitted to a group of nine independent scientific experts who were appointed by the UCI to interpret the scientific and statistical elements of each profile in order to give recommendations on whether blood manipulation had occurred.
A first selection resulted in a number of profiles that that could be qualified as "abnormal" and which required further attention from the experts.
A thorough examination by the experts of these profiles resulted in a number being considered as not suspect, based on indications that the abnormal profile may have arisen due to reasons other than doping.
There were other profiles which justified immediate target testing with normal doping controls and/or the collection of further blood samples for completing the profile in order to exclude any uncertainties.
A small number of profiles is now under further scrutiny following
high scientific and legal standards.
The concept of indirect detection which is enabled through profiling is a new paradigm in anti-doping. It is therefore critically important that the UCI will proceed only on sound evidence of doping.
The benefit of the profiling approach is that no tests are wasted. A rider's profile can continue to be built to ensure certainty of interpretation.
The UCI invested significant effort in 2008 to establish and lay the foundations for the biological passport. It has proved to be very valuable in terms of building up information, experience and know-how. It is a solid basis for bringing the biological passport at cruising speed in 2009.

Inspired by the works of Nicolas Felton, this piece closely examines the activities that occurred during 7 days spent at an all-inclusive resort in Cuba over reading week. The concept behind this proj... ect was to design a visually interesting piece, while accurately displaying the information in an easy-to-understand format. A detailed journal was kept during the trip, tallying all possible bits of information that would be useful for piece later on including amount of money spent, what was consumed each day and the distance of travel each day.

Do you sleep well? Or do you worry about your PI exposure? Over the last couple of years I have asked hundreds of accountants Does the risk of a PI claim keep you awake at night? If yes, why?
Less then 10% have a problem sleeping although some of those who answer no add caveats such as No, it should do but I sleep well!, No, but it is something I am aware of, No, but the inevitability of claims does and variations on: Not until I heard this talk anyway. Thanks Mark!
Many people assume that the only risk they run is that related to the late filing of an election (and indeed this is the most common cause of PI claims against accountants).

Drugs commonly used to treat high blood pressure may slow or even halt the progression of Parkinson's disease, scientists have said.
If the results from animal studies are confirmed in humans it could be the biggest advance in managing the disease for 30 years.
Although treatments are available to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's, they become less effective over time and nothing currently can stop the disease progressing.
The new research holds out the prospect not only of slowing Parkinson's but preventing the symptoms ever appearing, according to the US team.
Muscle tremors
Parkinson's, which mainly affects people aged 60 and over, occurs when dopamine neurons in the brain start to die.
Dopamine released by the cells is a critical chemical messenger that affects the control of movement. When dopamine is lacking, movement becomes more difficult and uncoordinated. Sufferers experience muscle rigidity and tremors and ultimately lose the ability to walk, talk or even pick up a glass of water.
An estimated 10,000 people in the UK are newly diagnosed each year with Parkinson's and up to 120,000 have the disease.
Scientists at Northwestern University in Chicago discovered that isradipine, a 'calcium blocker' drug for high blood pressure, angina and stroke, had the power to rejuvenate ageing dopamine neurons.
Dopamine cells
Tests on mice showed that the drug protected the dopamine cells from toxins that would normally kill them.
The cells began to operate as if they were younger. As a result, mice engineered to have a progressive Parkinson's-like disease resisted becoming ill.
Dr Kieran Breen, Director of research and development at the Parkinson's Disease Society, welcomed the findings but cautioned that much more work still had to be done.
'The results that have been reported are from a very early stage pre-clinical trial using a model of Parkinson's. Further trials are needed to establish whether similar results are seen in people with the condition.
'It is too early to state with confidence that this drug will be appropriate for the treatment for Parkinson's disease. We can also not predict whether this drug will be used as a preventative or protective measure in the future. A significant amount of further research will be required before any definite conclusions can be drawn.'

Videos on the arts, featuring the artists
Like our facebook page
In a time where consumerism only seems to be growing, it is inspiring to observe these six artists – such as Tara Donovan and Piet Hein Eek – who have made discarded, everyday materials the centre of their work. Watch their approach to re-using materials.
We visited the Danish poet, writer and artist Morten Søkilde in his Copenhagen studio, where he talked about his fascination with the world of miniatures: "There is a figure so small that he can split a dust particle with his forehead."

I'm working on a video that was made using three cameras. Two Canon DV digital cameras & one Sony Hi8 analogue camera. The Hi8 was used as a backup.
The project needs some of the footage that was caught using the Hi8 camera but the problem is that the reds & oranges bleed badly in the Hi8 footage compared to the DV footage.
So what i want to do is tone the reds & oranges down using an effect in premiere pro (7).
What effect should i be using to do this?
Cheers, westie

Can any one ID the serif fonts used in the old NYC subway mosaics? I realize that each mosaic has a slightly different version of a serif font but if you know anything about any of them, I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you just know of a similar serif font, that would be great, too. Thanks!
I expect that the letters
I expect that the letters were made from templates that were done for NYC Transit Authority, and not based on a specific typeface. Those E's certainly don't look like anything I've seen before, except on those subway signs (I'm originally from NYC myself).
As for anything similar, Cheltenham or Cushing are styles that I think are old-ish. You could search for 1900s serifs at MyFonts. I suspect you could make a lot of fonts look right if you put them in the mosaic frames and backgrounds.
- Mike Yanega
Not a match, but Bonning has
Takea look at Paul Shaw's
I'm fairly certain the font
I'm fairly certain the font is Cheltenham. It was designed in the late 1890s and made available commercially around 1903, just in time for Heins & LaFarg, the architects of the new subway system, to incorporate into their designs. There is considerable variation in the typeforms in the subway mosaics based on Cheltenham, but the giveaway are the cap A, the cap G, the cap R and the cap S.Significant variants in the font based on Cheltenham are the cap E and the cap S. Doesn't matter. It's genius all the way around.

Cute Animal Video of the Day: Squirrel Steals Cat's Peanuts
I can't decide whether this squirrel is very bold or the cat is just not very protective of its peanuts. Perhaps the best question is who gave the cat peanuts in the first place?

I've always been fascinated by the whispers that people leave behind – sometimes even more-so than the people themselves. Granted, if I'm seeking out the remnants of you, you've likely left a larger imprint on my heart, but even in strangers I find the notion of their essence more intriguing than their presence.
The state of a hotel room that a person leaves, for instance, when they depart for the day. Have they left a book on the table? Has the remote been touched? In what sort of array are the sheets and pillows? Did they sleep on just one side of the bed? Are towels left on the floor, or hung to dry, to be used again?
We sometimes tell more in our absence than we could ever reveal in person, but what is told often leads to more questions, and assumptions, and suddenly a whole world with a conjured persona has arisen from the discarded candy wrapper that has fallen just short of the garbage can.
Personal articles lend a more solid glimpse. The pair of glasses left on the night-stand table, or carefully returned to their carrying case. They lend a vague bit of a possible appearance. A favored bottle of bath gel carefully nestled in the corner of the bathtub, the fragrance of which still lightly taints the bathroom air, evinces what might be one's scent. Frequent travelers may even carry a small framed photo of a loved one, smiling back from the past, and from the distance ~ an unlikely bit of home in an otherwise sterile environment.
Even then, with perhaps the most important people of one's life looking on, it is impossible to gauge a person. All we have are fragments, tiny pieces of the whole that may or may not make much sense, that could, for all we know, have nothing to do with who that person is, but if we care enough, if we are invested enough, it becomes an obsession.
I used to do this when my Uncle left after a visit. I'd hunt down the places he'd been in throughout the house, leaning over the desk where he kept his bottle of cologne, inhaling the lime-like scent mingled with scarred wood, trying to hold onto him a little bit longer. I'd traverse the paths he took in the basement, holding the ashtray of wrinkled cigarette butts and bringing it to my nose to take in the already-stale remnants of smoke. A still-damp towel hanging over the shower door from that morning's wash or the stained coffee-cup suddenly gone cold teased and lingered there, their presence both a taunt and a comfort. The ones we love most seem to haunt with greater resonance, but maybe that's just the way we want to believe.
In my hotel room, if I do leave anything telling, there is no one to care enough to look. A rumpled pair of boxer shorts on the floor, the swath of a scarf dangling from a chair, a tiny bottle of cologne on the tile of the bathroom window ~ none of it is really me. And when I am there – in the room, on the bed, at the sink – fully present and accounted for – I am alone, with nothing and no one to prove I even exist.
Except for the camera…

[the_ad_placement id="after-content"]Thailand is always in my heart even when I travel to other destinations. During my last trip to Abu Dhabi I kind of hit the jackpot as we actually stayed in a Thai managed hotel – the Dusit Thani.
I know this hotel very well from my Bangkokian adventures but I wasn't aware it was an international chain until I saw an advertisement on a magazine in London, just three weeks before I headed to desert. It was actually talking about Dusit Thani in Abu Dhabi, what a coincidence, right? I later discovered that they also have hotels in China, the Philippines, Egypt, Kenya and the Maldives.
I enjoyed our stay a lot because I felt the Thai vibe as soon as we entered the atrium. Many of the staff are from Thailand and they were all very attentive and always smiling, Sawadeeka (Thai greeting) was heard everywhere without being overwhelming.
Our check in was fast and easy and we headed to our room on the 26th floor with a superb view toward the mangrove forest and the Grand Mosque. I took a long and relaxing hot bath and then enjoyed watching the sun setting across Abu Dhabi. I was quite tired after the flight because I didn't manage to sleep on board and being able to completely wind down restored all my energies.
For dinner we headed to ….. (can you guess?) …. one of the hotel's restaurant, Benjarong, which is an award winning signature Thai restaurant that serves delectable temptations for any foodie out there.
The next morning we went to catch the sunrise on the rooftop pool, called Breeze and for a good reason. In a hindsight I would have better brought a light long dress that would flow with the wind creating some stunning photo opportunities than my swimsuit. It was nevertheless awesome to witness the first rays of light in total silence suspended above the city slowly waking up.
Why: because of the city view, the rich breakfast and the kind staff

Jenin – The project of rehabilitation of the Jenin's convent, started in 2014, is completed. It offers decent gathering conditions for the parishioners and the priest.
Jenin is a Palestinian city located in the north of West Bank, which have about 39.000 people. It's now the administrative center of Jenin governorate. The Latin Parish situated in the center of Jenin can't be separated from the local context whereby Jenin has been pounded over the past decades with severe hits to its economy and social structure. The Parish extends not only religious and educational services to children and families alike, but supports the social wellbeing of a small number of families whose heritage and whose witness could otherwise fade. It is important to note that the Parish in Jenin serves all the Christian families not only in Jenin, but also in Bourqin, Deir Ghazaleh, Jalameh, Kafr Qoud, Sabah el Kheir and Ya'bad, hence outreaching to additional tens of Christian families coming from those areas.
The renovation project consisted in upgrading, rehabilitating and reallocating all indoor and outdoor spaces of the convent. To begin, with the priest's residence: creation of a new access by external stairs in the convent's outdoor court, to provide more external facilities for entrance and all necessary civil works and electro-mechanicals installations. Next with the repair existing the only one convent chapel and the parish gathering hall, including outdoor areas. Accessibility was redesigned, with the new entrance for the priests house and also all appropriate outdoor spaces for children and families, always for better gathering conditions.
Thanks to the generous donation from the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, this project was made it possible.

Thirty years ago, Amador County grape grower Ken Deaver had a line that brought a smile to his face and a twinkle to his eyes no matter how often he repeated it. Whenever someone said that Amador County was being discovered for its wine, Deaver gently corrected them, saying Amador County was being rediscovered for its wine.
"An amazing food and wine culture is developing here…"
His point was that grapes have been grown and wine has been made in Amador County since the Gold Rush, but that few people seemed to know that history. On his Shenandoah Valley farm, Deaver himself was tending vines that dated from the 1860s.Read More›

Had Blood Taken Yesterday For Tests
fulloftrouble replied to fulloftrouble's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsBlood test came back negative. I'm going to find a GI specialist and get them to start running tests.
Had Blood Taken Yesterday For Tests
fulloftrouble replied to fulloftrouble's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsThanks again for your reply! Unfortunately I have to have a higher intake of sodium in my diet. I also have epilepsy and the medication I take for that lowers my blood sodium levels. I just left a message at my doc's office. I hope they call me back today.
Had Blood Taken Yesterday For Tests
fulloftrouble replied to fulloftrouble's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsStill feel terrible tonight. I had some corn chips (no wheat warning on it, so I assume it's safe) and water. I felt 100% after having those. Fast forward about 2hrs I hade a huge glass of gatorade and after that I feel miserable.....dizzy, nauseous, feel like passing out. What the heck would make me sick from gatorade??? I am pissed. I went through all this getting sick stuff 4 years ago. It took me a while to figure out that I was lactose intolerant and then there have been MANY times where there was unknowningly dairy in something I ate and would make me sick. I really don't want to go through all this again in order to narrow down what is wrong with me!
Had Blood Taken Yesterday For Tests
fulloftrouble replied to fulloftrouble's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms2 days later I'm feeling worse. While I haven't had diarrhea like I normally do, now I feel bloated and have not had any stools since being sick on Monday. Also, after every meal I'm becoming VERY dizzy and nauseous. Today I felt like I was going to faint about 1hr after eating. My stomach has also felt really weird, almost like it's churning. It hasn't been painful, just feels like it's definitely not normal. I've also noticed a lack of appetite the past few days. How long did it take to get results back from blood tests? I hate the waiting game.
Had Blood Taken Yesterday For Tests
fulloftrouble posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHey all. I just saw my doctor yesterday and she suspects this or possibly ulcerative colitis. I became lactose intolerant about 4 years ago at the age of 22. Since then, I have greatly modified my diet to cut out all dairy and have been doing great on very specific and plain foods. Fast forward to about a month to 45 days ago I am now becoming regularly sick on what used to be those safe foods. For example, this weekend I got sick from snacking on pretzels and a soda. Yesterday morning oatmeal made me sick. These are foods that I've had countless times and know for sure that they do not make me sick. I'm also getting sick from plain turkey sandwiches that I have at lunch. It's very frustrating to be going through this uncertain period like I did 4 years ago before I narrowed down the problem to lactose intolerance. I feel like my entire food world has been turned upside down and have no clue what to eat any more. My doctor took a ton of blood yesterday and I should have the results within a week or so. Is endoscopy really necessary? Also a biopsy? I'd really like to avoid those!!

A faulty wheel-speed sensor reading can trigger the ABS and/or BAS/ASR warning light. A bad wheel-speed sensor signal can be verified with a scan tool that reads the trouble codes.
The actual wheel speed sensor uses a magnetic field to "count" teeth on a reluctor, which spins on the wheel hub or axle shaft. This tooth count is converted into a voltage signal, which the car's PCM uses to gauge wheel-speed variations for its ABS and stability-control systems.
The wheel-speed sensor can go bad, although sometimes disconnecting the sensor and cleaning off accumulated dirt can restore proper function. The car could conceivably be rolled onto ramps for sensor inspection. However, access is optimized by securing the car on jack stands and removing the wheels.
If the sensor needs to be replaced, be sure to clean its retaining bolt(s) and add thread-locking compound to the threads before re-installing these fasteners (Loctite 603 is recommended).
Also, applying a thin coat of grease to the sensor's sides and its mounting hole will help seal out dirt, extending service life. Long-Term Grease works excellently for this project (#000-989-63-51-MBZ from Pelican Parts). The torque spec for the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Bolts is 8 Nm.
The R170 SLK's front suspension and brakes are somewhat similar to the W203 and many other same-era Mercedes-Benz models. The brake-wear sensor goes to the caliper; the ABS speed sensor (yellow arrow) mounts in a hole in the knuckle. Use a T40 Torx bit to remove the two bolts (red arrows) that secure the plastic bracket and ABS speed sensor to the knuckle. The ABS sensor wire is held steady by the bracket's rearward clip (purple arrow).
With the bolts removed, the wire unclipped, and the bracket moved aside, the ABS speed sensor (arrow) can be pulled out of the knuckle. A flat blade screwdriver is helpful for prying up on the sensor under the bolt flange.
If the factory retaining bolts (arrow) are being reused, de-grit them with a wire brush. Use blue Loctite for reassembly to prevent the sensor from vibrating loose.
Use a small flat blade screwdriver to gently remove the metal retaining clip that secures the ABS wheel speed sensor and brake wear sensor to the plug in the fender well.
Once unplugged, the ABS speed sensor (arrow) can be separated from the brake sensor and removed from the car. Reverse the steps to install the new front sensor.
In the rear, use a 5mm hex/Allen wrench or bit to remove the sensor's retaining screw (arrow). The brake backing plate and emergency brake assembly were previously removed here for other articles.
The sensor's wire is secured in a clip (arrow) on the emergency-brake cable bracket.
Once unbolted, the sensor can be wiggled out of the socket in the knuckle. For reassembly, lightly coat the sensor's sides and knuckle socket with grease.
Cleaning dirt off the sensor's tip and corresponding hub/axle area can sometimes restore proper functionality.
Another clip (arrow) secures the sensor's wire to a body-mounted bracket.
The rear ABS wheel speed sensor's plug is in a weatherproof boot under the body tub. It pulls out of the sheet metal easily.
Set the rear sensor free by unplugging it from the wires that lead to the PCM. Reverse the removal steps to install a new rear sensor.

Story Master
1) Ditz Kyonko. Cute, affectionate, a genki baka girl, kind of like Hanazono Hikari without the insane strength and the wrestling fixation. Oblivious to weirdness until it's shoved in her face, lacking in snark and anecdotes. A lot more sociable than standard Kyonko, with a much wider circle of friends. Frustrates Haruki (and selected other members of the SOS-dan) because she's actually more difficult to approach than standard Kyonko; too many friends in the way. Still, the way she completely accepts each member completely and tries her very best to help them endears them to her.
2) Machiavelli Kyonko. Cute on the outside, pure black on the inside. Machiavelli Kyonko outwardly behaves like the perfect girl. She listens to the stories of the other SOS-dan members and shows each of them the thing they need her to be: the supportive cheearleader/girlfriend to Haruki; the caring mother figure to Mitsuuru; the translator of human fallacy to Yuuki; the affectionate ally to Itsuko. But underneath, she is tying strings to each of these miraculous beings, bending them to her will and milking them for every resource she can get. Once the time comes, she will ruthlessly use each and every one of them to her own best advantage, and then ... (god-empress Kyonko? o_o)
3) Shoujo Kyonko. Lots of sighs, lots of flowery backgrounds, lots of confusion about which person her heart belongs to most. Is it the dashing knight Haruki, the gentle, child-like Asahina-sempai (Oh my, is it right to fall in love with a sempai? *blush*), or even the forbidden love of 'best friend verging on best friend with benefits' Itsuko? (Oh, is this the kind of love that is the love for me? *fluttering eyelashes, tears, more blushing*)
4) Class representative Kyonko. Not content to just accept information, this lady of the harshly gleaming spectacles demands scientific proof and explanations for all the outré events surrounding the SOS-dan. She isn't dragged on board by Haruki, she joins up herself so as to keep Haruki firmly under control and ensure that school rules are not unduly broken. (Yes, she's tsundere, but you're going to have to go through a lot of 'tsun' before you get to the 'dere', folks.) She'll probably get along well with Nagato, though Mitsuuru will be intimidated by her, and she'd probably amuse Itsuko -- who will tease her mercilessly. Love-hate relationship with Haruki, with their shouting matches their own way of covering up their confused feelings -- until he finally kisses her, and she declares the next day that they're dating now. Kyonko:
"I'm not some loose ditz, like some of the girls in class! I am no Taniguchi! If you're going to kiss me, then we are dating, and that is final!" Haruki: "But ... wasn't it a dream?" Kyonko: "Regardless!" Haruki: "Tch. Guess we're dating, then. I'll take you to the go-carts on Saturday, don't be late." Kyonko: "Make sure to wear sturdy clothes for the event."
Haruki will have his work cut out for him, with this kind of whirlwind relationship. At best, it'll be two different kinds of whirlwind, trying to sweep the other up, methinks.

If only he was voiced by Tomokazu Seki... maybe they'll save him for Fujiwara.

Story Master
Moving on: Anti-SOS Kyonko.
1) The glue that binds. Anti-SOS Kyonko manages, through her usual personality, to actually be a unifying force for the Anti-SOS. She has the osananajimi bond with Sasaki and can get him to be more involved with events occurring around him. She probably gains Kyou Tachibana's appreciation and affection because she unifies the group. She can keep up with Fujiwara's nasty personality by responding with sufficient snarkiness and displays of intellect to win his grudging respect and cooperation. Her patience and endless coaxing and support allow Suou to interact more with the human world, and he opens up to her inasfar as he is capable.
2) Infiltrator Kyonko. Kyonko becomes the Anti-SOS' secret weapon. She is contacted by them before she starts to attend the same school as Haruki, so from the very beginning she knows about him, and her task is to get close to him; she cooperates when he starts the SOS-dan, but reports to the Anti-SOS-dan the whole time. Two more possibilities branch off from here:
2.1) Kyonko remains loyal to the Anti-SOS-dan and betrays the SOS-dan at a critical moment, possibly resulting in Haruki losing his powers and perhaps Kyonko's death as the SOS-dan's more powerful members lash out at her. Both Haruki and Sasaki & crew are devastated by Kyonko's death, and Bad Things Happen.
2.2) Kyonko has a change of heart because life in the SOS-dan is so much more fun than the Anti-SOS-dan's constant stress, and she sincerely grows close to Haruki. She grows confused about who she feels most for, Haruki or Sasaki. She could still betray Haruki 'for the sake of the world', but will awful for it. She could betray the Anti-SOS-dan's plot and leave the SOS-dan under a shadow. Might come back again later, or not. Or she could simply disappear from the picture of her own volition, removing herself from the equation: suicide, transfer to another school, 'gone with the wind'.
In any case, Infiltrator Kyonko has a potential for sowing huge chaos.
3) Moll Kyonko. Kyonko is the girlfriend and ally of one (or several? >_<) members of the Anti-SOS-dan. She plays the same snarky, tsunderesque role she does in the SOS-dan, but now she's playing for the other team. She'll support her new crew and defend them when she feels she has to, convinced that the SOS-dan represents chaos, but she won't interact with them beyond the bare necessary minimum.
4) Machiavelli Kyonko redux. This dark Kyonko is winding the Anti-SOS's membership around her little finger, playing the role that each of them needs. To Sasaki: a gentle, supportive presence which supports his conviction that it is best not to be too involved in the madness. To Suou: a translator of humanity, who somehow manages to be the only person capable of explaining, and so becomes indispensible. To Fujiwara: a close-mouthed, utterly ruthless agent, not bound by the rules he has to follow, who acts in the shadows without question. To Tachibana: enthusiastic support in her plotting to transfer the power from Haruki to Sasaki. She just never seems to personally involve herself in these plans unless strictly necessary:
Kyonko: "I am just a weak, inexperienced girl, after all, Tachibana-san." -- Tachibana: "No, no, Kyon-chan! You're a great help to me, always!" -- Kyonko: "You are so kind to say so, Tachibana-san."
Meanwhile, she's gathering every resource she can from the Anti-SOS that she can, laying her own plans. If the power is ever transferred, she'll make sure she's the one who gets it, not Sasaki. (god-empress Kyonko, redux? >_<)
5) Ditz Kyonko. The genki baka member of the Anti-SOS-dan. Often goes off without thinking or looking ahead, seems like a big embarrassment to the Anti-SOS-dan, the way she's frequently easily defeated. Nevertheless, she manages to galvanize her teammates with her endless, unbridled energy.
6) Tramp Kyonko. The seductress member of the Anti-SOS-dan. Equally as seductive to her fellow team members as she is to the SOS-dan's men, this Kyonko uses her feminine wiles to confuse, entangle, and where possible control. Makes up for her physique with artifice and fast talking, which serves to unnerve and derail the thought process. A particular problem for Haruki, who can't get her out of his mind even though he knows she's bad.

Michigan Supreme Court candidate Bridget Mary McCormack (MDP endorsed) overtook incumbent candidate Brian Zahra (R) last week for the most Facebook "likes". McCormack, a University of Michigan Law School Dean, now has 1,625 likes to Zahra's 1,497. Although Facebook likes are an unproven indicator of potential election success, the recent surge in support for McCormack stems from her earned media and strong field campaign, which is a grassroots effort perhaps unprecedented for a Supreme Court race. The point is: She is gaining momentum, and fast.

Live export permits dry up 27.9.2012

LIVE cattle exporters are facing a renewed setback as Indonesia refuses to issue more import permits for the end of this year. Hopes are fading that Australia's biggest live cattle customer will issue permits for the last quarter of 2012, potentially stranding between 50,000 and 100,000 head of cattle according to some estimates.
Exporters, who also have money tied up in the chartering costs of vessels, are also facing potential losses in the tens of thousands of dollars. One contact put the amount at between US$15,000 and US$30,000 a day.
Ashley James, manager of Elders' North Australian Cattle Company, said exporters were now in a tense waiting game to see if Indonesia would end the uncertainty.
"The best information that we have is that as of October no more permits will be issued," he said.
"What it means for us is that our third quarter permits will be filled by mid October and we won't be expecting any more permits to be issued until January next year for 2013."
Mr James said the prospect of boats lying idle for more than two months had produced a mad scramble for new customers to take up the stranded numbers.
"Unless some exporters can find a ready market for this feeder cattle it means they won't be going anywhere," he said.
"For us we'll have ships tied up with nowhere to go. We're chasing customers in Malaysia and the Philippines but I can tell you they're not jumping up and down for cattle through November and December either. It is a very serious situation."
Figures from Livecorp show that Australia exported more than 80,000 head of cattle to Indonesia in November and December last year, at a time when the industry was still reeling from the ban on shipments imposed by the Federal Labor Government over animal cruelty allegation in Indonesian abattoirs.
Then just before Christmas, Indonesia announced it would cut back the amount of cattle it wanted to take from Australia in 2012, issuing only 283,000 permits, about half the number issued the year before.
The grim picture is no better in Western Australia, with figures from the State showing WA's cattle industry is still struggling, despite the efforts of exporters to find alternative markets.
So far this year, fewer than 120,000 animals have been exported from WA ports, less than half the number sold in 2011.
Mr James said it was likely live exporters and the businesses that rely on the trade would face another bleak Christmas, with the subdued outlook possibly lasting well into early next year.
"Even if we get those import permits in January most of the cattle that are ready now won't have a chance of getting onto a boat because they'll be over the 350 kg weight limit," he said.
Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association executive director Luke Bowen, who returned from a fortnight trade trip to Indonesia last week, said he believed Indonesia's self-sufficiency drive was behind the permit issue halt.
"Supply of cattle by local Indonesian producers is just in overdrive at the moment," he said.
"They are getting about $3 Australian per kilo live weight which is way better than what our guys would be getting at just under $2. As a result they are selling anything they can get their hands on, which doesn't really spell good news for their self-sufficiency goals long term.
"I toured abattoirs and feedlots throughout Sumatra and Java and in one feedlot we went to they had about 60 per cent local cattle in the the yard, whereas it was normally about 10 percent. Other feedlots were only half full."
Mr Bowen said that on the processing front, the Indonesians in concert with Australian exporters operating within the Federal Government's new ESCAS guidelines to safeguard animal welfare had made rapid progress.
"I couldn't believe just how far they have come," he said. "About 85 per cent of the cattle are now being stunned and the Indonesian operators I spoke to agree that the upgrades they've put in place are improving efficiency and throughput.
"It's a real credit to the exporters and the Indonesians who have been able to work together and make this happen. Everyone on the tour felt very reassured that things are moving in the right direction."

My sisters Lindy and Sissy, along with my brother Kevin and I have had to stick together because our mother Mary and our stepmother Beatrice were not always (wait, make that were not ever) the nurturing, supportive, loving type of mothers.
Eight years ago, Sissy lost her beloved husband Don who died of cancer. I was finishing a clinical drug trial in Florida and was scheduled to fly home the morning he died. I arrived in Des Moines and my sister Lindy and I headed out to Sissy's hometown right away. We knew we would be meeting up with Kevin, and we assumed our stepmother Beatrice would be with him. Nope, she decided to stay home and miss the funeral.
That worked so well for her that she did not attend her own brother's funeral in Missouri. She had some lame excuse about her health, but trust me, she could have made it if she wanted to. The drive to the town where the funeral was came to less than three hours.
That leads me to the beautiful wedding of her granddaughter Diana. Again, Kevin, Lindy, Sissy and I were present and ready to enjoy our family celebration. Once again (despite Kevin's invitation), our stepmother was a no-show.
On Labor Day weekend we celebrated another wedding with Raquel, and it was simply understood that Beatrice would not be with us. This time she had a good excuse: she is in a nursing home and has no mobility.
Finally, as you already know, we recently celebrated the life and passing of our dear Sissy who is now in heaven. Not only did Kevin, Lindy, and I show up but it was an opportunity to re-connect with an extremely dear sister-in-law, Maci's mother.
Isn't it tragic that Beatrice missed all these family times–some sad and some joyous? Whenever you get a chance to be with your family take it. You will never be sorry you did.

Worship Pastor / Director
East Coast Church
Boynton Beach, Florida, United States
When talking with one of our vocalists recently, they expressed, "Worship is not something I do, it is what I was created for."
Does that describe you? Were you created for worship? Does your heart speed up at the thought of helping others reach their full potential in worship expression? Looking for a challenge and a little excited about the difficulties of being a part of a newly planted church? Then maybe you are our next worship pastor?
East Coast has experienced great success in the first 4 months after our launch and we are eager for the future which has positioned us to be able to bring on a worship pastor. The position is either part time or full time depending on a ton of different factors... pay is also in line with those same factors.
You will be coming into an established team of vocalists and musicians who are excited to have someone take the reigns and lead them into the next phase of the East Coast worship team. Part of your role will be raising up other individuals into their worship giftings.
If you are looking for a conventional and typical church, we are probably not what you are looking for. We spent quite a while working with our launch team developing a culture of grace which is expressed in a group of people striving to live free of projecting onto others: guilt, shame or judgment. We strive to create a place where people can come as they are and experience the love of their Father resulting in them making the world a better place.
Feel free to stalk our website at EastCoast.Church.
Did I mention that you will be living in paradise? Palm Beach County is a vacation destination with temperatures typically ranging from 70F - 90F. From almost anywhere in Palm Beach County, you are normally only 15 minutes from the ocean and 15 minutes from the glades. Extra added bonus is the top of the Florida Keys are only two hours away and the amusement of Orlando is only about 2.5 hours away.

About East Coast Church
A longing for a church where people could come as they are and experience a culture of grace with no guilt, no shame, and no judgment led a small group of individuals to build a church for the rest of us where they could as a genuine community of Christ followers ask the hard questions in an effort to know God and to make Him known with a solid belief that if they could just experience the love of Jesus it would cause them to make the world a better place.More...

iMac Pro review
Hi all,
I recently gave the link of my website to be rated (click here), thanks for all you comments, I have taken them into consideration.
Recently, I have been playing around with OsCommerce, I've got it installed click here, but I don't know how to integrate it into my site, ie have the layout of my site with the shopping cart it it.
Someone please help!
Many Thanks
It would take page after page to write a full walkthrough for you on site integration and it could well be beyond the scope of this forum.
osCommerce is pretty easy to use and that is partly why it has reached the level of popularity it now enjoys. About the only real snag it has is in loading your own range of products into the database, but people have written and are writing third party solutions that allow you to run an import from Excel tp populate the database.
osCommerce has a very strong online support community and its documentation is pretty comprehensive, so although I hate to say it, have you thoroughly read and understood it all and have you delved into its admin control panel ?
How far along are you with dynamic sites, web programming concepts and so on ?
The easiest way I have found to integrate it is to treat it as a subweb of your own site and link from your current site into the osCommerce pages then back out again. There are other methods of embedding in iFrames or as includes and so on, but why go looking for trouble if you aren't 100% up to speed on dynamic site concepts and PHP programming ?
Hi Taran, thanks for you reply.
This is the first dynamic site I have done, before I just used static HTML.
What I would like to do is have the shopping cart within my current site - click here.
How do I do this?
I have looked on the osCommerce web site for support and/or a forum but I cant seem to find it.
I'm not really sure how dynamic sites work, could you briefly explain it for me please.
Many Thanks
I agree with Taran - have it as a subweb, especially if you want to preserve the look and feel of your site.
Most users don't bother to integrate it into their own site - they use it straight out of the box with just a few cosmetic changes. That is why it is so popular - because it *can* be used straight out of the box; but the result is that many OsC based sites are instantly recognizable. That was what let it down for me and why I abandoned it - I really, really dislike its appearence and that is probably the hardest aspect of it to customise beyond the basics. Even the miriad of templates available for it still have the same basic layout and overall look.
Take a look at the Contributions pages. There are some excellent contributions but some of them need to be used with a virgin, unmodded installation, especially those that aim to improve the visual appearence and those that Taran mentioned, which make poulation of the database easier.
The Basic Template Structure:
click here
There are further add-ons for this contribution,for instance (limited) CSS.
As Taran says the online support forums are excellent, they are used all over the world so there will probably be someone online to help at any time of the night or day.
If you are finding the official OsC documentation not quite clear try the unofficial, breakaway group OsCDox
click here
Their documentation is a lot clearer, but don't ever mention them on the official forum :-).
If, however, all you want is "add to basket" buttons to add to your exisiting pages take a look at PHPCart
click here
It isn't database driven like OsC, so it doesn't have nearly as many bells and whistles, but it is simplicity itself to set up (though the documentation is well hidden!!!). Unlike OsC it is NOT open source so you do have to pay for it but it isn't expensive. It has some modifications available (they are called hacks in this case) and it has quite good online support.
About the quickest way of implementing osCommerce is to make an iFrame where your page body content would normally go and load it into the frame. Subsequent links in the osCommerce content will continue to load into your page iFrame. The world and his wife already knows what I think of frames in general, so I won't comment further on that front other than other than to say that the disadvantages of frames could largely be ignored or overcome if the only framed element of the site was osCommerce.
The thing is, as Penny says, osCommerce IS your site. It is intended to be the site in its entirety and most people who already have their own site design find it difficult to overcome the layout and feel of osCommerce, which is where you either decide to put up with it, load it as a framed element to maintain existing site structure or even as an include, or use another product.
I'll finish on this point:
Unless you have a ton of products osCommerce is serious overkill.
If you want to process orders for your web design and hosting services I suggest you rethink the whole idea.
FrontPage has more tools than you can shake a stick at for generating forms and you can use them to very good effect in creating an ordering system. The FrontPage server extensions make it an absolute doddle to process your forms, there is an ASP/Access database wizard if you feel the urge to try a dynamic site [always assuming that your web host supports ASP/Access of course] and you can easily integrate different payment processors into your forms. Calculating values based on user selection is simple and your only real challenge would be in receiving the actual payment and setting up a secure transaction environment. I guess it all depends on your intended use of osCommerce.
I am a great believer is not using a sledgehammer to crack a nut though, if you can avoid it.
Thanks PP and Taran for you words of wisdom!
I have given up the idea of using osCommerce, as from experience of a couple of hours and your advice it seems a bit over the top.
All I really want to do is add a shopping cart so people can purchase a hosting plan from me. I have thought about creating forms and think that would be ideal for me.
Just for your information Taran, my host does not support ASP/Access, which is a bit of a shame.
Thanks for all you help, I'll let you know of the outcome when I've got a shopping cart in place.
Once again many thanks
Hi everyone,
This afternoon I've been playing around with forms in Frontpage to create a shopping cart.
I think I've come up with a reasonable one.
Please have a look at my site and tell me what you think.
Many Thanks

Your form needs validation on the entry fields.
I didn't fill anything in at all before I clicked the link to pay and it obligingly loaded up the page asking if I wanted to pay by cheque and so on.
You need to add form field validation to make sure that all required fields are filled in before you are allowed to proceed to the checkout. In fact, instead of just simple field validation you could be clever and set the status of the "Click here to pay" button as inactive until all fields have been filled in.
I notice there is no field for an email address. If your clients already have email available [very likely] it seems a shame not to ask them for such a convenient method of contacting them. An email form field takes a little bit more to configure, since you really want to validate the address entered rather than accept the form if someone type in 123 @ not .net
I've gone off on one here though.
To begin with, concentrate on getting your form fields filled in before allowing your clients to proceed to the payment page.
Thanks Taran.
How do I set up form validation?
Which authoring program are you using ?
If I remember rightly you are using FrontPage 2002 ?
Open the page in FrontPage, double click on the form field you want to edit the properties of or right click on it and select Form Field Properties. Click the Validate button and fill in whatever requirements you like or that you find appropriate. Usually you can get away with putting a tick in the Required tickbox.
If you're using a different authoring program or if you would prefer to hand code your own validation rules post again.
