Patient Comments: Itching - Cause
Question:What was the cause of your itching?
Comment from: Sidharth, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: February 26
When I go out in sun and when my body gets warm I feel an itching sensation all over my body from head to toe. It's been happening from past 2 months.
Comment from: Mercy, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: November 18
I don't really know what is causing my body itching, it has been itching close to 8 months. The doctor asked me to take loratadine tablet, but still it hasn't stopped, it's severe now because it itches every day and minute and I am really tired, I don't know what to do, I don't have any marks or spots up till now.

I have had uncontrollable itching for the better part of this past year. Four doctors indicated that it was excema and I was prescribed many types of hydrocortisone which relieved the itch temporarily but of course did not treat the cause. My wife read the book Wheat Belly by Wiiliam Davis and within the first 10 pages came across a reference to unexplained itching. Ah-ha! I cut WAY back on my gluten intake and the itch has virtually disappeared. When I have a sandwich, hamburger bun, pasta or a couple beer...the itch returns. Please get this out to the public as I have read about MANY people with unexplained itching and if cutting out gluten is their simple answer...hallelujah!

I developed hives, a rash, and itching because, I felt, I could not get the soap out of my clothes. After many months of visits to dermatologists and other doctors, I gave up prescription creams and lotions, etc. I have now found the answer: All that was needed was sunscreen lotion SPF 50. Apply after a shower once a day. Sleep like a log. I am in my 80s if that is pertinent.
Comment from: Aila, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: April 15
I itched for a few years and not one doctor could figure it out. I had skin biopsies and was told it was psychological. The itching was so severe that I would use a fork to scratch, especially the bottoms of my feet and arms. Then I found out I had a rare liver disease called primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), which has caused the itching. It was discovered through a liver biopsy and it incurable. I take rifampin and lorazepam at night (when the itching gets worse) use ice packs, and avoid the sun and sweating, which makes it worse. Stress triggers it, and I also have very dry skin from diabetes type 2. Sometimes, it's unbearable.
Published: December 19
I had two cortisone shots for the first time in my knees for arthritis today. I woke up itching terribly everywhere.
Comment from: 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: July 25
At the beginning of my experience with itching, I thought it was due to changes in bath soap and that it was an allergy from the lotion I was using. Later I discovered that it was none of them as I had changed all these. Having read this information, I feel it's time I visited a doctor. Thank you so much for this free information. It is so valuable. Continue serving the masses with such information. Bless you.

My dotor change my diaetic medication as I am diagnosed as diabetic 2. Then after taking the new medicine I developed hives and I'm itching in some specific parts of my body like the armpit and stomach and the anal region. I stopped taking my new med and doctor change it to another one and now it seems I have an allergic reactions almost every night even if I have not taken my med. I don.t know what causing it.
Comment from: mariusws, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: March 08
I just find my body itching at different places in different areas. I constantly find myself scratching different areas on my body, head, feet, stomach, arms, and face. It really is annoying because I can't sit still for long without having to move to scratch an area. I can't really remember when this started, but it's been ongoing for about a year. My skin feels very sensitive, it is almost irritating when I stroke my arm gently, because I can feel every hear movement intensity.
Comment from: morgana, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 28
My itching was caused by a flare up in my multiple sclerosis due to a viral infection. It is still itchy and driving me crazy.

Going from crying to combative, Moreno Valley School Board member Mike Rios denied from the witness stand he was a pimp, procurer and rapist.
"I did not do anything illegal" he insisted during testimony Wednesday, Feb. 6, that was marked with sharp exchanges with the prosecutor during cross examination. Jurors will get instructions and hear final arguments Thursday. Judge Gary Tranbarger said he expected deliberations to get under way later in the day.
Rios, 42, called "ridiculous" the charges that he ran a prostitution ring out of his home, worked to get more women to join the operation, raped two of the prostitutes involved in it, and committed insurance fraud by allegedly making false claims stemming from a December 2011 auto accident.
He denied the two counts of rape he is charged with, saying he never had sex with one of the women who accused him, and that the sex he had with the other woman was consensual.
He claimed he ran a legitimate business out of his home to provide strippers and dancers to clients who responded to online ads. Rios said the enterprise "just fizzled out." He said he made only $800 in late 2011, and that money was lost to expenses such as Internet ads, motel rooms and cellphone fees.
"Absolutely not," he said several times as Deputy Public Defender Michael Micallef asked if he solicited women to work for him as prostitutes.
Rios cried on the witness stand after he explained why he had lied in an April 4 interview with District Attorney Investigator Jeff Chebahtah. It took place shortly after Rios was arrested.
Rios said he believed information derived from the interview about a December 2011 auto accident he was in with two women would be turned into a news release and the information would get to his incarcerated wife, and she would somehow conclude —correctly — that Rios was cheating on her.
He lied to Chebahtah that he was not at the accident scene, when he actually was the car's driver. The vehicle was rear-ended and totaled on Alessandro Avenue, near Interstate 215. The insurance fraud charges stem from medical claims Rios tried to make on the accident.
"At that point in time my wife was being held under INS custody. I was afraid that it would get out in the paper that Mike Rios is driving with two girls in his car, and he's involved in a local accident," Rios told Micallef. "I hadn't told my wife I was cheating on her. I am not proud of that and I truly regret that to this day and I'm trying to overcome that, those mistakes I made with my wife.
"I just didn't want her to find out through the paper that I was cheating on her," Rios said before breaking down into tears, briefly halting his testimony.
Rios' wife, Dora Landaverde Torres, was deported to El Salvador July 24, 2012, according to Lori Haley, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Landaverde Torres had been held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Santa Ana after being arrested Sept. 20, 2011, as part of a nationwide operation focusing on convicted criminal aliens, officials said. She had been targeted for arrest based on a prior felony drug conviction, which led to her deportation in the late 1990s, officials said.
Deputy District Attorney Michael Brusselback appeared to be incredulous with Rios' explanation for lying to Chebahtah.
"Mr. Rios, you believe you're kind of a big deal, don't you?" Brusselback asked at one point in cross examination. He pointed out several of Rios' evasive answers or lies in the April interview by beginning his question with, "You were so concerned about a press release that …"
The prosecutor also challenged Rios' explanations for why he entered the stripping and private dancer business.
"So, you needed money to make up for the losses because your wife was in immigration custody, to pay the bills?" Brusselback asked "You didn't just put up an ad that said, 'Need roommate to help pay the rent, 500 bucks a month?'"
Rios corrected him to say he did put in such an ad, but it was for a live-in stripper. He said the woman would not share her money directly with him, but would pay her portion of the household bills as they came in.
"You just wanted a stripper to live in your house when you had a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old in that house, correct?" Brusselback asked.
"Yeah, and what's wrong with that?" Rios answered. He later testified that he was aware that his wife had been a stripper about nine years ago, worked in a Los Angeles club, and had posted online ads for her services.
Rios admitted he had lied to Chebahtah but said he was being truthful to jurors.
"What I am saying is the truth, it is sincere. I am not guilty of what I am being accused of. I did run a business, I'm not happy of running this business of strippers. … I needed to pay the bills."
Rios is out of custody and remains a member of the school board. He cannot be removed from the board unless he is convicted of the charges, and he has refused to resign.
Rios faces a separate trial on charges of attempted voluntary manslaughter from a shooting incident in front of his home. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, as well. Jurors in the current trial will not hear about the upcoming one.
Some of Rios' statements during his testimony and cross examination Wednesday may not have been helpful to his case.
"I didn't make anything up, I was just not being truthful with the man," he said of lying to Chebahtah during the April 4 interview.
Rios also sounded as though he felt the auto insurance fraud was more serious than the other charges: "I asked Mr. Chebahtah what I was being charged with. And he told me I was only being charged with pimping, pandering and rape. He never once said automobile fraud. … If he had told me I was also being charged with felony auto insurance fraud, I would have been truthful with him."
He also said in regard to misstating claims about doctor visits to his auto insurance company, "I wouldn't call it a fraudulent statement. I just wasn't being honest."

With 44 professional fights to his credit, 30-year-old Yves Edwards is well known to most mixed martial arts fans. The Bahamas-born Texan has been ranked among the worlds top lightweights since the turn of the century. Edwards impressive record (31-12-1) has suffered a few blemishes of late, however, with a disappointing TKO loss (doctor stoppage) to Joe Stevenson in July 2006, followed by a defeat to Mike Brown, who won a unanimous decision in Bodog Fight: St. Petersburg.
Looking to get back to his winning ways, Edwards takes on Floridas Jorge Gamebred Masvidal (10-2) on an all new episode of Bodog Fight: New Jersey this Tuesday, August 28 at 11 p.m. / 10 p.m. Central on ION television and in Canada on The Fight Network.
I dont have any specific strategy for Jorge, confesses Edwards. My game plan is just to try and punch him in the face, and not let him punch me.
Does this simple but effective style have a name I call it Thug-Jitsu, he replies. Thats what I teach at my Revolution Dojo in Houston. Officially, Thug-Jitsu - which Edwards dubs the modern art of the beatdown is derived from a melting pot of boxing, Thai kickboxing, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. ThugJitsu.com proclaims that none of these arts is enough to be successful alone, yet a solid combination of two, three or more ensures that a fighter is prepared to face any kind of opponent.
You have these guys who do Jiu-Jitsu and they want to wear these shirts about how they can kick anybody's ass - but they can't kick anybody's ass, really," Edwards explains. We dont train for Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, we train for fights, so my students get punched in the face.
By feeding them a steady diet of physical blows, Edwards believes he is preparing them for the real thing. Thats what Thug-Jitsu is all about." Being prepared to fight is only half the battle, though. To have success in the ring youve got to have determination the will to win. For Edwards, that motivation lays close to home.
I always fight my hardest to win because I want my kids (son and daughter) to be proud of me, he says. My son is three years old and he knows that his dad fights, but I'm not sure he understands the game. One day soon though hes going to see my fights on DVD or whatever, and I have to make sure he's proud of my performance. I have to make sure that he knows his dad gave it everything he got, whether he won or lost. That's what I do when I fight."
In addition to the highly anticipated match-up between Edwards and Masvidal, viewers will also see Iraqi war combat vet Nick Agallar (17-5) of Wisconsin take on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist James Binky Jones (4-3) of Maryland.

SEC Headlines – 3/7/12 Part One
March 7th, 2012 11:47 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Tags: Jim Nantz, Kansas City, Max Garcia, NCAA
1. Florida reported 12 secondary NCAA violations since last April and a few involved inadvertent — nudge, nudge, wink, wink — phone calls.
2. For seeding purposes, the Gators had better not enter the NCAA tourney with a four-game losing streak.
3. Georgia appears to be the frontrunner for Maryland offensive line transfer Max Garcia.
4. "Pocket dialing" was also responsible for a few secondary violations at UGA the past couple of months.
5. The Dawgs' basketball team still needs a few more pieces.
6. Kentucky's Anthony Davis is a scene-stealer despite himself.
7. Get ready for the emails, Jim. For some reason CBS Final Four announcer Jim Nantz has announced who he thinks will reach New Orleans… and he doesn't have the Cats making it.
8. South Carolina is looking for a fresh start in the SEC tourney.
9. Cock fans are still in a wait-and-see mode regarding Darrin Horn's job status.
10. Tennessee "can't worry about the bubble" and needs to take care of its own business this week.
11. The Vols' Jeronne Maymon says he gets by on "quickness and smarts."
12. Vanderbilt's Jeffery Taylor is focusing on "team," not individual honors.
13. This week's Big 12 Tournament marks the end of an era for Missouri playing in Kansas City.

text: Simple Recipes 10 Essential Recipes For Graduates by Camilla Salem 5/13/13 5 Reactions 131 Shares Print 110 6 15 0 0 If you or someone you know is about to graduate from college, then it's time to move on from the days of dorm food, meal plans, and affordable campus eateries and get cooking instead. Should the kitchen be somewhat of a foreign place, fear not. Start with basic (but delicious) recipes and meals and work your way up to more complicated adaptations. Here are 10 tasty and essential recipes to start your culinary education. Turkey Club Sandwich What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A turkey club is the quintessential sandwich; eat it for lunch or dinner and be totally satisfied. 1 / 10 Gourmet Grilled Cheese What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Forget the Kraft Singles and Rainbow bread you grew up on; it's time to advance to a grown-up grilled cheese. Start with a version that calls for Humboldt Fog cheese and prosciutto, then move on to experimenting wiht other types of cheeses and ingredients. 2 / 10 Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A rudimentary pasta recipe is crucial for nights when you just don't feel like cooking. This spicy recipe is loaded with garlic and flavor, but it's also affordable and comes together in minutes. 3 / 10 Chocolate Chip Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yes, a chocolate chip cookie recipe is an essential for any new cook. There will always be those moments when nothing is better or more comforting than cookies and milk. 4 / 10 Homemade Pizza What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Knowing how to make your own pizza dough is liberating. No longer are you dependent on unhealthy delivery pizza. Start with simple toppings that you probably already have in your kitchen. 6 / 10 Guacamole What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Guacamole is an easy dip to throw together when you have company, and truth be told, a homemade bowl is so much better than the store-bought kind. 6 / 10 Roast Chicken What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Some people are intimidated by working with a whole bird, but once you get over that initial hesitation, you'll be able to roast chicken all the time. Roast vegetables alongside your bird, and you've got a complete meal. 7 / 10 Hard-Boiled Eggs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hard-boiled eggs are great sliced up on toast for breakfast, chopped into salad for lunch, or as the perfect pick-me-up snack in deviled eggs. Make a bunch early in the week and enjoy them for days. 8 / 10 Chicken Noodle Soup What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you're on your own and you've come down with a cold, a go-to chicken noodle soup recipe is essential. This version is chunky and flavorful. 9 / 10 Marinara Sauce What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From pizza to pasta to meatballs, marinara sauce is one of those indispensable recipes that you will use over and over. 11 / 10 110 6 15 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Cooking BasicsFast And EasyGraduation Cooking Basics Carla Hall's 3 Key Tips For Success in the Kitchen 5 days ago Pigging Out on Easter Ham Alternatives 6 days ago How to Plant a Thriving Herb Garden 1 week ago Orangina, Sapporo, and 17 More Food Brand Names You're Probably Mispronouncing 1 week ago The Quickest Way to Refresh Day-Old Bread 2 weeks ago 4 Tricks For Keeping Your Spices Fresh 2 weeks ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

1. "The Expanding Canon: Teaching Multicultural Literature – Theory Overview." Learner.org. The Annenberg Foundation. Web. 23 Feb. 2012.
In this hour-long video from the Annenberg Learner, Pat Mora is seen at the twenty-minute mark teaching in a classroom. During her lecture she reads the teenage students one of her poems. We get to see how Pat Mora emphasizes the tone and pace of various words in her poetry. In the student exercise, we get to hear teenagers interpret Mora's poems. At the end of her lesson, she explains the poem she read and the actual story behind it. It is interesting to learn, for example, how she takes the life story of a friend and transforms it into a poem. By learning the exact background information of the poem, we see how she incorporates her culture into her works.
2. Melendez, Maria. "An Interview With Pat Mora." An Interview With Pat Mora. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://latinopoetryreview.com/>.
Pat Mora has written six bilingual poetry books. On the Latino poetry review website there is an interview between Maria Melendez and Pat Mora. During her interview she mentions that My Own True Name was assembled after a librarian said more books with a Latino focus were needed for high school students. Mora later says she finds ways to incorporate not only Spanish but other languages into her work. In the interview she brings up the fact that about 2% of the 5,000 children's books published each year are by or about Latinos, which can cause conflicts in educational success because not enough books are published for Latino/a and other children who want to learn about the culture.
3. Mora, Pat. "Bookjoy!: Books for Teens." Bookjoy! Pat Mora. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://sharebookjoy.blogspot.com/search/label/books%20for%20teens>
This is Pat Mora's personal blog, Bookjoy!, which she started in 2008. Its main focus is "celebrating the zing of creativity, reading, and día." The posts include discussions of Latino children's literature and community partnerships as well as interviews with various authors. More specifically, she has a category on her blog labeled "books for teens." In this section, she has interviewed authors who write in the same genre as My Own True Name, such as Guadalupe Garcia McCall, Dr. Carol Brochín Ceballos, and Christina Díaz Gonzalez. Her interviewees span from award-winning authors to teachers with published novels. These authors have a lot in common with Mora, and it sounds like their books do as well, as they typically involve bicultural and bilingual characters and plot lines. Mora also has posts encouraging teens to ask her about her latest young adult books.
4. Mora, Pat. "Bookjoy!: Dizzy." Bookjoy! Pat Mora. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://sharebookjoy.blogspot.com/2010/01/dizzy.html>
Mora, Pat. Dizzy in Your Eyes: Poems About Love. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2010. Print.
Dizzy in Your Eyes is Pat Mora's most recent teen book. The collection of fifty new poems express emotions as Mora thinks they are experienced by those in their early adult years. Each poem is told by a different (fictional) teen narrator. Her inspiration and incentive for writing this book was finding out that "boys sometimes copied [love] poems and signed their names" and then gave them to girls. Upon hearing this, Mora decided that she wanted to create a book of poems that really speak to her teen audience. With her knowledge of teens copying love poems, she decided to incorporate their interest in poetry into her book. In Mora's footnotes, she explains the type of poetic form used for each poem. Not only is this an educationally fresh ingredient to her literacy campaign, but it also gives teens motivation to write their own verses.
5. Mora, Pat. Borders. By Pat Mora, Award-winning Poet and Author of Books for Adults, Young Adults and Children. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://www.patmora.com/book_pages/borders.htm>.
Borders is one of Pat Mora's six collections of poetry. The book was published in 1986 and received the Southwest Book award in 1987. The book was aimed at adults and young adults, as it explores political, cultural, social, and emotional issues that shape an individual's identity and that can divide people. The poems in Borders show how our positions respecting these borders shape how we define ourselves. According to the Bloomsbury Review, in Borders, "Mora confronts the clash of cultures in a courageous, tough tone that masks a gentle sensibility. What finally gives this book its healing power is the mesmerizing honesty of Mora's celebration of herself as a woman, mother, lover."
6. Mora, Pat. Communion. By Pat Mora , Award-winning Poet and Author of Books for Adults, Young Adults and Children. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://www.patmora.com/book_pages/communion.htm>.
Communion was published in 1994 by Pat Mora and was aimed toward adults and young adults. It is the third of her six poetry collections. Communion is built upon her other writings and her new experiences in life but has more deepness and maturity in its poems. The collection can be universally appealing, since it takes into account the reality of male and female relationships, the pain of separations from children, the significance of one's homeland, and the traditions affecting one's life. According to Betsy Colquitt in the Texas Review of Books, Communion " is aptly titled: her poems often reveal a communion of sorts between poet and subject that inspires the poet's empathetic, imaginative response."
7. "Pat Mora." Interview by Teaching Books. Teaching Books. 28 Jan. 2008. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://www.teachingbooks.net/content/Mora_qu.pdf>.
In this interview by Teaching Books, Pat Mora discusses not only her writing but also her life and her reasons for writing poetry, her favorite genre. In this interview, she explains that she writes in Spanish to show children who are embarrassed to speak Spanish that there are assets to speaking the language in certain places. In her book Tomas and the Library Lady, for instance, she inserts many Spanish phrases. Mora also explains how she wants her poetry to convey that it is natural for women to be strong and outspoken. In her book Doña Flor: A Tall Tale About a Giant Woman with a Great Big Heart, for example, Dona Flor plays a strong female role by showing not great physical strength but a large capacity for love.
8. "A Video Interview With Pat Mora." Reading Rockets. U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. Web. 23 Feb. 2012.
Pat Mora is an avid supporter of literacy, especially in children. She is a featured author for a national multimedia literacy organization called Reading Rockets. On their website, a concise biography of Mora is available along with ten video conversations with topics ranging from childhood stories to her literacy advocacy program. The biography expands upon and explores her bicultural upbringing, which provides us with the background knowledge to understand the American and Mexican contexts involved in her poems. The video conversations compliment the biography, with Pat Mora describing her Mexican/American home, and then discuss how and why she writes fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Mora believes that successful writing is done by "bringing everything we are to the page." This advice influences her poems about desert culture and ties into the final video conversations, which explain her literacy program for children.

Why Design Now?: MIT CityCar
Why? Mobility on-demand and shared use are alternatives to private car ownership, and CityCar is a concept vehicle that combines the two. This two-passenger electric car can be made available from a network of urban parking zones, where users swipe a card and take the first fully charged vehicle. It provides a non-polluting, noise-free, energy-efficient, and convenient alternative to current modes of short-distance travel.

Why Design Now?: Vault201
Why? Preindustrial construction methods can provide fundamental lessons about sustainable design and environmental impact today. In this site-specific installation, thin tile vaults stretching across large spaces without formwork is part of a 700-year-old construction method that is energy-efficient, utilizes local materials, and achieves high structural strength. All of these factors have important applications in the developing world, where low-cost construction and durability are model standards for any building project.

Common Cooking Mistakes and How to Fix Them
How can you save a dish if it's too salty or doctor up a lopsided cake? We'll show you how to fix common cooking mistakes, from soggy pan-fried dishes to gummy rice.

My dish is too salty.
There's nothing you can do to take the salt out, but you can add more of other ingredients to reduce its concentration. For salty soups and stews, try diluting with water. A bit of acidity from vinegar or lemon juice can also help curb the saltiness. To avoid this mistake in the future, make sure to taste as you go through a recipe, and be careful when using canned ingredients, which can be harbor high salt content.

My dish is too spicy.
Like fixing saltiness, you can try adding more of other non-spicy ingredients. Another trick is to add a little sugar to curb the spiciness.

It's not baking evenly.
If you're baking dough or batter, an uneven shape could cause this problem. Try rolling out the dough evenly and distribute the dough or batter evenly on the pan. Otherwise, it could be a mechanical issue, and your oven may not be reaching the right temperature or may have "hot spots".
For starters, we suggest investing in an oven thermometer. To check for hot spots, toast slices of bread in the middle of a rack, and areas that are more toasted may indicate a hot spot. Next time you bake, try to avoid them or rotate your pans to evenly distribute the heat.

Special tricks for uneven cake
If your cakes are coming out domed, try two tricks: wrap Bake Even strips around the pan, or make your own by cutting a towel into strips, soak them in water and tie them around the pan. The second trick is to take a clean paper towel and gently press down the raised top of the baked cake while it is still hot. Alternatively, when assembling the cooled cake, you can use a serrated knife to cut an even surface and flip it around so the cut side is now the bottom.

I can't get a good sear/crust.
If you're not getting a good sear or crust, it might be because you turn the food too often. You'll know the dish is ready to be turned when your spatula easily slides underneath, so resist the urge and you'll be rewarded with a beautiful browning. Another reason may be that the pan is not hot enough. Don't be afraid to turn up the heat to medium-high or high in order to quickly cook the outside and seal in the moisture.

My food doesn't brown and is soggy.
Many of us make the mistake of overcrowding the pan when we're on a time crunch or want to avoid cleaning more dishes, but overcrowding does not allow for steam to escape as food releases moisture. Make sure what's in the pan is not covering up one another, and try using two pans simultaneously to save on time.

My cookies spread too much
If your cookies look like they're packing on the pounds after being baked, the culprit might be overly softened butter. The best way to soften butter is to let it sit out at room temperature for about an hour; if you're short on time, try cutting up your butter into small cubes to soften more quickly. Try to avoid the microwave as this can easily melt the butter if you're not careful.

The texture of my baked goods is off.
Baking is a science, and an inaccurate ingredient measurement can throw off the texture of your baked good. Pay attention to the instructions to notice differences between packed and lightly spooned measurements. We suggest sifting flour to air it out for consistent measurements, and it's best practice to level it off evenly with the flat edge of a knife.

My egg whites won't whip up!
Whipping up egg whites is a difficult task, and even a little bit of egg yolk will stop them from whipping up fully. Egg whites whip up better at room temperature rather than cold, so let them sit out for several minutes. It's best to use a copper bowl, but stainless steel or glass bowls work well, too. Make sure your beaters are clean and dry, and whip at high speed until stiff peaks form, which you'll know when you lift the beater out of the bowl and the peaks stay upright. Be careful not to overwhip or it will separate!

My roast/fish/poultry is overcooked/undercooked.
We strongly encourage investing in a meat thermometer, like this one from OXO which has a cable wire that runs through the oven door so you don't have to open the door and lose heat. If the deed's been done, salvage overcooked protein by shredding it and adding sauce.

My rice comes out sticky and gummy.
Not having enough water in the rice pot means that the grains rub against each other and release starch, making rice sticky. While this is true, also be careful about adding too much water. If the rice doesn't absorb all the water after cooking, letting it sit in the liquid will make it gummy and clumpy, too. Try using 1.5 – 1.75 cups of water per cup of long-grain white rice, and adjust accordingly. Brown rice requires more water, and shorter-grain rice will need less. Also, consider investing in a rice cooker, which will reliably cook rice perfectly.

My meat is too chewy.
This is more of a problem for tough cuts of meat, like skirt steak or flank, which have a grain formed by thick bundles of muscle fiber. If you cook at too high of a temperature or don't cook long enough, you won't give enough time for the fibers to break down. A few other tips include marinading the meat with a tenderizing agent (such as dairy) and cutting the cooked meat against the grain to cut through the fibers.

My salad is soggy.
Delicate greens bruise easily, so handle them with care. After rinsing under water, dry leaves by using a salad spinner. Gently toss lettuce with dressing right before serving. Otherwise, the leaves will absorb the dressing and appear wilted.

My deep-fried foods are alway greasy.
If your fried foods come out oily, the temperature of the frying oil is too low. When oil is properly heated between 325 degrees to 400 degrees, it won't seep into the food because hotter oil will more strongly repel from water, found in the natural moisture of food. Throw away soggy meat, but try refrying vegetables. Also, frying in small batches helps to maintain hot oil temperature.

My hard-boiled eggs look awful.
Ever wonder why your whites are rubbery or your yolk has a green-gray ring around it? Dropping an egg in boiling water will cook the whites faster than the yolk, and by the time the yolk is done the whites end up tough. The discolored ring happens when the iron in the yolk and the sulfur in the white react under heat. Prevent it by plunging fresh-cooked eggs in cold water to stop the cooking process.

Try hard-cooking rather than hard-boiling eggs.
While there are many ways to cook an egg, you might get better results by hard-cooking it without boiling. Bring a pot of eggs and water to a slight boil, and then turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit covered for about ten minutes, and then cold plunge them for perfect doneness.

Gerber Training Pants, 18 M, White
" Overallthis is the classic training undie, thick and durable fabric. I used with my daughter and sorry I didnt find earlier in her training. The are comforable and nor too tight like other big girl/boy underpants. " --amadorev
Gerber Brand 6 Pack Prefold Birdseye Organic Diaper, White
" I started with these prefolds and vinyl covers (!) and moved to pockets with the prefolds as inserts. I always had to use double when I stuffed and definitely not overnight. They absorb quickly and fill up quickly. I loved that there were organic Gerber prefold options. And they were pretty darn cheap. I did end up buying microfiber as well as natural fiber pocket..." --tubbytelly
" These diapers are made of inferior materials. The "absorbant polyester sponge" insert absolutely breaks down in the wash and disintegrates leaving a lumpy mess inside the diaper after a couple wash cycles. The sponge also may seem absorbant, but it does not catch liquid as well as cotton or other natural fibers, and thus it squeezes urine out every move your baby makes as soon as it's wet! " --mum4vr

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the night before Thanksgiving, and my family and I were driving to my parents' house for the holiday weekend. I am usually the one who drives, but this time my wife insisted on taking the wheel because I was so dizzy and light-headed that I could hardly stand upright. Over the course of the previous week, I had not been feeling well. I had been getting up frequently at night to use the bathroom, was insatiably thirsty, and had been so dizzy that I had actually fallen down several times.
During the drive, my wife, who is a registered nurse, suggested that I check my blood sugar. This seemed ridiculous to me-how could I possibly have diabetes? My symptoms had sprung out of nowhere, not to mention that I was only 25 years old and in relatively good shape. My wife was quick to point out, however, that I had many of the classic symptoms, including excessive thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and dizziness. Of course, I had an explanation for every symptom. The last thing I wanted to acknowledge was the possibility that I might have diabetes.
Later that evening, to set everyone's mind at rest and prove once and for all that I did not have diabetes, I agreed to use my father's blood glucose meter (my father was diagnosed with type 2 two years ago). After poking my finger, I carefully applied a small drop of blood to the test strip and counted down: 4...3...2...1. What I saw next sent me into a state of shock: my number was 476.
After a long silence, I turned to my wife and said "Well, I guess this means I shouldn't eat the pumpkin pie tomorrow." We rushed to the urgent care for my first (but not last) dose of insulin, and shortly thereafter I was diagnosed with adult-onset type 1 diabetes.
For some of you, this may sound all too familiar. Whether you used a friend's blood glucose meter, attended a diabetes screening at a health fair, or just learned from your doctor after a routine physical, the news that you have diabetes is never something you want to hear. And if you are anything like me, you had to deal with a healthy dose of denial before taking full responsibility for your diabetes. All of a sudden you have to take medications to manage your blood sugar. You have to poke your finger to test your blood sugar several times a day. Now you have to go see a doctor for your diabetes and a doctor for your eyes, and don't forget about that appointment with the dietitian. It's a tremendous amount of information to process while coping with the fact that you have a chronic, life-long disease. I found it very difficult to come to grips with the reality that I would need to use insulin for the rest of my life. The notion of implementing insulin use into my daily routine and being "dependent" on insulin was overwhelming and depressing.
My resistance to insulin was surprising to some who know me. I am, after all, a pharmacist. They told me, "Well, at least you are a pharmacist and know what you're doing," but it really didn't feel that way. Sure, I had talked to customers in the pharmacy about their insulin, countless times. Every day that I worked at the pharmacy, almost without exception, I talked to somebody about how to take their diabetes medication, what side effects to expect, the importance of monitoring for low blood sugar....you know the drill. I was very well trained and knowledgeable about diabetes medications, but when it was me taking the medications and dealing with the disease, all of that knowledge and experience seemed to go right out the window.
It was a turning point in my life and career, a truly eye-opening experience. I thought back to all of the people who had come into the pharmacy for their very first medication to treat their diabetes. I thought of the many people who had asked me for advice as they picked up their first month's supply of insulin because pills were no longer controlling their blood sugar. I recalled all those who had asked me for advice at the counseling window because they had just been told that they had pre-diabetes. Had I done enough to help those people? Most of them did not have medical backgrounds, yet here I was, a pharmacist, struggling with the notion of taking insulin and the fact that I have diabetes.
It took me over a year to overcome my fears and stubbornness enough to allow those around me to aid in the management of my disease. I thought I knew it all, but the key was letting other people in and allowing them to work with me as a team to direct my care. Now, I strongly believe that the best thing you can do for yourself and your diabetes is to form a partnership with your healthcare team. Strength does come in numbers, and sharing your burden with people who want to help you can lift a huge weight from your shoulders.
Here are a few steps that you can take to form a partnership with your healthcare team:
1. Foster a relationship with a primary care provider whom you trust
Without trust between you and your primary care provider, communication suffers. And without good communication, making progress in your care is next to impossible. It isn't always essential to be followed by an endocrinologist, but your primary care provider should have a healthy understanding of diabetes and be able to answer your questions in a way that is easily understandable and gives you confidence in his or her ability to care for you over the long haul.
It is nearly impossible for your doctor to make informed decisions on your behalf without having reliable, timely, and correct information. During the first few visits with my endocrinologist, I recall being rather embarrassed about my blood glucose readings and the types of foods I was eating. I remember thinking "Maybe I'll leave my meter at home and tell him I forgot it, so he can't see how bad my blood sugars have been." I wanted to be a "good" patient and was fearful of letting him see that I was doing a less than perfect job.
Despite my fears, I shared my blood sugar readings with my doctor and was honest about my eating habits. To my relief, he was not judgmental. He reassured me that this process would take time, and he was happy that I was honest with him so that he could make informed decisions about my care. I like to think of it this way: You wouldn't want your stock broker making changes to your stock portfolio without first looking at trends in the market. Neither should your doctor make decisions about your diabetes treatment without first understanding the trends in your blood sugar and eating habits.
2. Seek out experts to help you troubleshoot
Although it's vital to find a trustworthy primary care provider with whom you are comfortable, it's also important to have other people on your team. Try thinking of your diabetes team in terms of a basketball team. Your center under the basket isn't going to have the same skills as the point guard handling the ball, right? Likewise, it's in your best interest to find a diverse group of people with whom you can talk about your diabetes. Your specific choices of people for your team will ultimately depend on your needs, but you may consider adding someone who is knowledgeable about your medications, a trusted pharmacist perhaps. You may want to find somebody who can help you figure out the diet that is best for you, such as a dietitian who works closely with your doctor. And maybe you would like to add a certified diabetes educator (CDE) who's available by phone for on-the-spot questions that you may have. I always encourage people to consider building a relationship with a CDE if they have the opportunity. CDEs have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
3. Talk to and listen to others in the same situation
I am a big fan of support groups. There is strength in numbers, and it can be very encouraging to talk with other people who are facing the same difficulties that you are. There are also a number of publications that provide resources and valuable information regarding diabetes. Magazines such as Diabetes Health are very informational and fun to read. Some of these groups and magazines will even take your questions and find an expert to provide you with advice.
Although many of us, myself included, find it difficult to ask others for help, it is important to remember that the people charged with our care want to do everything in their power to help us. Once we have formed our healthcare team, we should provide its members with the most accurate information we can-even if we aren't always proud of what we have to report. And we must take it upon ourselves to ask for help when we need it.
It is through partnership that our personal strengths and the strengths of those around us can synergize and flourish. A partnership with a healthcare team allows you to share not only your burden, but also the joy and camaraderie that comes with overcoming struggles and hardships together.
