I have to tell you. The way things look from where we stand, is immensely bright and beautiful when we look in one direction and terribly dark and foreboding in the other. Blessed to see this but burdened with the reality that we can no longer pursue, because to do so would be to be a part of what seems to hurt as opposed to what appears to heal.
We are not attached to how it will work, but we cannot turn back out of fear. This might look and seem foolish to those who mistake their animal nature for true and divine human nature.
We are more than what we have. We want to "have" less so we can "be" more. The truth seems so simple but the struggle to uphold it and the forces that aim to undermine it are all too real.
In a world where all you want to do is take responsibility for your burden upon the whole, to be a help and a source as opposed to being a dependent, to truly sacrifice in the name of change. It seems worth investing in.
We're doing an odd thing, trying to stay put and grow roots. Work the soil where we stand, use the Internet and technology to avoid travel and needless consumption of resources. We enjoy working hard and are trying to work smarter. No doubt the odds are not in favor of our goal.
I don't care about the odds though, I don't care about fame or attention beyond what is needed to make this work. It's for you and all because I see how much it's wanted and needed. All the Sun does is plead with me every day to stay the course. This game has a full on faith, that the light of truth is enough and if one way fails, we'll pick up and try another. We need your help though. We need to come together to hold this up in every way we can.
Nobody needs these objects we make, I realize this and it terrifies me. All I can hope is that people understand that I want to transform these glass objects into fertile ground for the future of my family and be one of many who know they must do the same because that is the future I see and believe in. So maybe you aren't in a position to make soil, but you can invest in it.
My family didn't have a garden when I was growing up, and I know it's not possible to garden everywhere. I also know how much earth is covered with concrete and asphalt. That said, for reasons that began arising over 15 years ago, we have been studying and learning and practicing all that we possibly have time for. Things that would have otherwise been lost to us. Things we value and cherish above all else. Things that our Son will carry forward.
We need to continue to figure out how to make it work because it's all that matters anymore and all I can do is hope and pray that people understand and that it all holds together somehow.
Whatever part you play here, I thank you for being your best self and hope we all stay bright on the darkest days because it's all that helps.
Great thanks and blessings from the Barrett Family to you and yours and all.
The Gulf is something that has to be leaped, and leaped alone, stripped of all hindering burdens, in faith … It is thus one of the crisis points of spiritual progress because of the great temptation to turn back from the unknown to the apparent safety of known things, and to succumb to this temptation is to lose all the fruits of past endeavor.

Raymond Turner is still upset over the death of his son Kevin, a former NFL fullback with the Patriots and Eagles who started playing football when he was only 5. His father was his first coach.
This morning, researchers at Boston University released the results of their study of former NFL player, Kevin Turner's brain. They say the 46-year-old died in March from stage four CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to repeated brain trauma as well as the onset of ALS.
Before his death, Turner was a plaintiff in a concussion lawsuit against the NFL. It resulted in a financial settlement and rule changes. But his father is not convinced the league wants to change anything.
BU's CTE center says Turner's brain was one of the worst cases they've seen.

The Palm Sunday procession begins at the Church of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, also known as the "Palm Sunday Church", which is located directly next to a Palestinian home that was demolished by Israeli authorities several years ago.

Every year, Palestinians with West Bank IDs face challenges entering Jerusalem for religious worship, whether during Ramadan or Easter. Despite claims by Israeli authorities of granting more permits and relaxing restrictions, each year thousands of worshipers are denied entry.As the Kairos Palestine document--a statement by Palestinian Christian leaders--asserts:
Religious liberty is severely restricted; the freedom of access to the holy places is denied under the pretext of security. Jerusalem and its holy places are out of bounds for many Christians and Muslims from the West Bank and the Gaza strip. Even Jerusalemites face restrictions during the religious feasts. Some of our Arab clergy are regularly barred from entering Jerusalem.This Easter season, early reports indicate that Palestinian Christian communities from the northern West Bank had to cancel their Palm Sunday celebrations in Jerusalem due to a lack of permits. Parishes from the Bethlehem and Ramallah areas received between 30% and 40% of the permits they requested.
One individual from the Bethlehem area lamented that while he was granted entry, the rest of his family was turned away at the checkpoint. Such arbitrary policies are typical with Israel's permitting system, which rarely provides a coherent rationale for who is granted and who is denied, other the than the catch-all excuse of "security reasons".
PLO official Hanan Ashrawi was quoted as saying:
There should not even be a question of needing permits to visit one's own city…. East Jerusalem is the occupied capital of the Palestinian people and freedom of worship is a basic human right for all of our Christian and Muslim citizens; a right which is being systematically and increasingly denied by a foreign occupying force. The fact that so many Palestinian Christian communities are denied their simple human right to worship freely in their own capital city is unacceptable.Palestinian Christians and Muslims rightly ask why if they are granted special permission to visit Jerusalem for religious holiday seasons–and are at that time not considered a security threat–why they are not allowed to freely visit throughout the year.
This Palm Sunday, the heavy Israeli military presence along the procession route contrasted with the original meaning of the holiday. Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus' "triumphal entry" into Jerusalem, marking the beginning of the Christian Holy Week. According to the Christian scriptures, Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, where his followers lay down their cloaks in front of him and waved palm branches as a symbol of victory. Additional symbolismincluded his choice to ride on a donkey, traditionally an animal of peace, versus the horse, which is the animal of war. A king rode a horse when he went to war and rode upon a donkey when he came in peace. Jesus' entry to Jerusalem would thus symbolize his entry as the Prince of Peace, not as a war-waging king.
The Gospel of Luke also contains this prescient passage of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem: "As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, 'If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.'"
Palestinian Christians carry signs naming their West Bank communities, all of which are cut off from Jerusalem by the Israeli separation wall, requiring their residents to obtain special permits to enter. Such restrictions have dramatically reduced the number of Palestinians able to participate in religious traditions of any faith in Jerusalem.
Israeli soldiers watch as Palestinian Christians in the annual Palm Sunday procession. Palm Sunday is the Christian celebration of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the "Prince of Peace" the week before his crucifixion.

Palestinian and international Christian pilgrims march past an Israeli settlement on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem. All Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law.
Palestinian Christians carry a banner for the West Bank town of Birzeit with a sign attached reading "Entry Denied". This year, residents of Birzeit and several other West Bank communities did not receive the additional permits typically issued for religious seasons in time to participate in the Palm Sunday celebration.

text: Sorry in advance for the long post. Ever since I got my Evo on launch day, I ran the gamut of emotions, both positive and negative that has been chronicled on these message boards. During the first week, the positives outweighed the negatives, but there was one negative that really put a damper on my enthusiasm, namely the abysmal battery life I was getting. After reading the tips on prolonging the battery life, along with purchasing a car charger, I was able to (barely) make it the whole day (~11 hours) with the Evo dying on me before I got home. The next week, Steve Jobs announces/demos the iPhone 4. With the introduction of the Retina Display, a bigger battery, a "better" antenna and the fact that my family has a Mac, iPod Touch and iPad, the pendulum swung towards checking out the new iPhone. Had they been available when I tried to preorder, I would have. After reading the issues have been reported, and how poorly Apple is addressing them, being shut out may have been a blessing. With the iPhone unavailable and having more time to play with my Evo, I got to appreciate the Android OS and its openness vs. the Apple OS. Android is defintely not as polished as IOS, but it has come a long way, and it will only get better, I assume, with Froyo. I was back to leaning towards keeping my Evo, but there was one physical issue I had with it; the infamous light leakage. It was not that noticeable at first but got progressively worse. I had called Best Buys a few times during the month checking to see if they had any in stock only to keep getting the same answer of "no". Last Saturday (day 30), I decided to call one more time and to my surprise, the Best Buy I originally purchased my evo from had 3 available. I drove over, went through the exchange process and verified that my 0003 hardware version has no light leaking through! I downloaded the update and put it through its paces on the 4th and was very happy to make it through the day with 26% battery life left! I now have an Evo with no light leakage (I hope it stays that way), and much better battery life. And now that the 30 day return policy has lapsed, I can finally enjoy my phone and not obsess over whether or not I should return it and wait for the Droid X, the iPhone 4, or any of the Samsung offerings... at least until early next year when more "latest and greatest" phones are announced for release next Sping/Summer. Then the obsessing and anticipation starts all over again. One big plus for me to stay with Sprint: I love being a Premier Customer so that I don't have to wait two years to upgrade. With the pace of these phones with more bells and whistles being released, upgrading once a year seems long enough as it is!

Autumn and winter is always the time of 'Marroni' (sweet chestnut). The soon it gets a bit colder at every corner in Zurich you can see the green 'Marroni-Hüsli' (chestnut stands or little green cottages selling hot chestnuts) popping up.
With the season you'll get the seasonal dessert, which is vermicell. It's a shortcrust tart, filled with cream and meringue and on top a lot of chestnut mousse.
I wanted to adapt this dessert and transfer it to a completely new cupcake format. Did you ever eat something with chestnut flour? Well, I did. This flour reacts completely different to normal flour because it does not stick and does not rise. Hence it is suitable for people with food allergies like celiac disease. The chestnut flour has a very strong own taste, that is why I like it so much. I adapted a basic cupcake recipie integrating the chestnut flour but still having normal flour in it to make the cupcakes rise.
First try turned out great so I went on preparing the filling (chestnut mousse) and the icing (whipped cream). See the result:

DS and I both have really sensitive skin, too. Baby powder is AWFUL if baby has sensitive skin; there are tons of fragrances, preservatives, and talc (a common allergen) in most powders.
I agree with everyone else about really frequent changing. It doesn't matter what cream you have on their bum, if you leave a sensitive bum in a dirty diaper for 20 minutes you're going to pay for it.
When DS does get any kind of rash, Vaseline is a great choice to protect them from further irritation. I also love Calmoseptine. It's awesome stuff for sensitive little ones.

This past Sunday, January 8, would have been David Bowie's 70th birthday. He also died one year ago Tuesday of cancer, unleashing a worldwide period of mourning amongst his untold numbers of devoted fans.
To commemorate, an EP was released with recordings that were believed to be his last. "Lazarus," from Bowie's final album Blackstar, is featured along with "No Plan," "Killing a Little Time" and "When I Met You," songs that were written for the musical Lazarus.
An eerie, seemingly metaphorical Tom Hingston directed video for "No Plan" has also been released.

I'm looking for places that call out to you with one signature dish they do absolutely great. This differs from all-around fine dining establishments where you can go and know that you generally won't be disappointed with anything on the menu (well... assuming it matches your food preferences). These places might be average or even disappointing on the whole, but you found that one thing that never fails you. I have run across several such restaurants in my experiences around the country. Any time I order something else, I'm taking a big chance, but when I come back to the old standby it is just as good as I remember.
I'll start out with two around here:
Cinelli's (multiple locations): Grandma Pizza. Go with the simple cheese and tomato basic. The flavors are fresh and natural. The tomato sauce is chunky and placed in uneven clumps around the square area (very nicely). The medium size is just right for a couple to devour. Far outpasses their other pizzas, which are rather pedestrian for my tastes.
El Cerro (Ten Ten Road and Kildaire Farm in Apex): The carnitas are perfect. Moist, tender, browned crisp on the outside. Ask for their hotter red salsa rather than the green tomatillo they bring you by default. I've been disappointed with the other dishes I've tried there, but I order the carnitas and all is forgiven.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Former Louisville running back Michael Bush underwent surgery Tuesday on the leg he broke during the first
game of last season.
Bush, who entered the upcoming NFL draft and passed up his senior year of eligibility, had a new
rod inserted and was expected to be released from a Louisville
hospital on Wednesday, spokesman Rocco Gasparro said.
Gasparro said Bush sought another medical opinion when his bone
didn't heal quickly enough. He's expected to be out another couple
of months and won't be able to work out Monday during Louisville's
pro day, Gasparro said.
Bush decided to skip his senior eligibility season, despite playing in only
one game as a junior. In his sophomore year, Bush ran for 1,183
yards and an NCAA-leading 23 touchdowns.
He scored three touchdowns in the first half of the
season-opener against Kentucky last year before breaking his leg
early in the second half.
The Cardinals went on to finish 12-1, beating Wake Forest in the
Orange Bowl.

The price of flights to Fort-de-France varies from month to month. The chart below highlights the lowest rates you can expect to pay depending on when you travel.
Air Transat offers flights to Fort-de-France
from select Canadian airports. Choose your departure city below to view detailed flight information.
Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport
The capital of the island that marries Gallic culture with Caribbean customs, Fort-de-France is quaint, feisty and charmingly French. Tropical white sands and waterfront dining make Martinique's largest city a great point of departure for any holiday here.
Often called Fort-de-France's Central Park, La Savane is 12½ acres of tropical greenery, fountains and shaded benches. A highlight is the statue of Empress Josephine holding a locket with a portrait of Napoleon inside. Headless for years, she was vandalized as retribution for the Martiniquais' belief that she was directly responsible for slavery being brought back to the island to benefit her family's plantation.
Tourists and locals alike love visiting the Marché aux Épices, the Fort-de-France spice market designed by Henri Pick in the late 19th century. Stallholders wearing traditional island garb preside over mountains of colourful spices, herbs and local flowers.
Fort-de-France's most visible landmark, the Bibliothèque Schoelcher is the city's wildly elaborate Romanesque public library. Named for Victor Schoelcher, who led the fight to free slaves in the West Indies in the 19th century, it was built in France for the 1889 World Expo in Paris, dismantled, shipped to Martinique and reassembled.
Tools, jewels and displays tell the story of the Carib way of life on the island before the arrival of the French (and Columbus before them) at the Musée Départemental de la Martinique.
Friendly and elegant, La Baie is run by a native of Brittany who inventively prepares everything from seafood to galettes, deliciously savoury crèpes. Guests dining on the terrace get great views of the park and sea.

7-yr-old abducted by mother found in UP
Initially the Khar police were not filing a complaint, and it was only after this newspaper reported on the matter that a kidnap case was registered. Deputy Commissioner of Police Pratap Dighavkar said, "The girl has been traced and the accused was arrested. They will be brought to Mumbai in two days."
The girl's mother gave the police a difficult time and managed to stay off the radar for a while. A police team nabbed her and an accomplice in Jaunpur, UP, after a brief chase chase and found the child.
The girl's father Naushad Sheikh said, "I am happy, and I thank MiD DAY and the police for helping me locate my daughter."
An inquiry has been initiated to look into why the Khar police did not register the case, and the report is awaited.

Intel Core i3-2120 Benchmarks
Here are some of the benchmark results that we have found for the Core i3-2120 processor ( 3.3 GHz dual core Sandy Bridge processor)
1. According to the Super Pi 32M bench mark, we have observed 9 min 42 seconds with Core i3-2120 32M running overclocked at 3497. An intepolation of the result means that the Core i3-2120 running at 3300 MHz will take 549 seconds or about 9 Minute 9 seconds.
2. The Passmark Score for Core i3-2120 stands at 3808.
( By comparison, the 3.33 GHz Clarksdale processor core i3-560, has a passmark score of 3203). This establishes the supremacy of the Sandy Bridge processor over the similarly clocked Clasksdale
Notice that we have not taken into account the graphics capability of the Sandy Bridge, which should give another reason to prefer Sandy Bridge over the Claksdale processors.

Crossly Door Roller Assembly
A quick learner says:
June 1, 2014
I bought the 81-001 item because my neighbor bought it and fixed his door. His door works fine now but it seems the wheels are a bit small and even with adjusting it the door just drags open and shut. Any ideas?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
June 2, 2014
Crossly only uses this one type of roller, as far as I know, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Try having someone hold the door up on one end while you adjust the door roller. Turning it clockwise should raise the wheel. Also, check your track. If it's worn or damaged, that may be the issue.

Support » Plugin: Import Users from CSV » [Plugin: Import Users from CSV] Import via cron event
5 years, 9 months ago
How to schedule a cron event that will import users from a specified file on the server?
I had a user ask me by email how to do that, so I released version 0.5 to make the plugin more extensible and I am posting the solution here for anyone who would like to do that in the future.
The plugin now has a function called IS_IU_Import_Users::import_csv( string $filename, bool, bool ).
The first argument is the path to the file on the server.
The second one is whether you want the password nag to be shown on first user login.
The third one is whether you want to send email notifications to the new users.
Below is the code to schedule the daily event.
function is_iu_schedule_event() {
if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'is_iu_daily_event' ) ) {
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'is_iu_daily_event' );
add_action( 'wp', 'is_iu_schedule_event' );
function is_iu_do_this_daily() {
IS_IU_Import_Users::import_csv( PATH_TO_YOUR_CSV_FILE );
add_action( 'is_iu_daily_event', 'is_iu_do_this_daily' );
This code can be added to a plugin or your theme functions.php file
Make sure to replace PATH_TO_YOUR_CSV_FILE with the actual path to your csv file on the server.

This is cool.
How to make this to update the existing users (except password)? and add new users not already in the database?
Add an ID column in your CSV and put the ID for existing users in there

Historic Preservation
Historic Preservation at the Daly Mansion
Since 2004, the Daly Mansion Preservation Trust has raised $1.34 million in federal funding for historic preservation of the Mansion, part of which came from the Save America's Treasures Grant program, which is in danger of being cut by the current administration. If you love our cultural heritage and want to see preservation and restoration supported, speak out about it - to your congressmen and women, stop this trend!
The Trust has also raised an incredible $772,000 in donations from private individuals and foundations over this period to fund the restoration of the Mansion. It has been a miraculous recovery for this jewel of Montana history. See below for the stunning examples of where we started and how far we have come.

Yesterday's ribbon-cutting for a new reading-instruction classroom at Tuttle Elementary School balanced technical skill with emotional surprise like the author of one of your favorite children's stories.
The celebration included a live demonstration of teaching techniques used in Reading Recovery, a program that involves one-to-one sessions with a highly trained literacy teacher for first-graders who are struggling with reading and writing.
But the feel-good culmination came shortly afterward, when nine other children in the program entered the school's media center to hand thank-you packages to donors and funders who have supported the new program. The students then proudly demonstrated their own growing skills by inviting one of the guests to listen to them read a book like The Hungry Giant's Soup or Chicken Little.
(To view photos from the event, go here)
Behind the Glass
Reading Recovery was launched this year at Tuttle and two other Title I Sarasota County elementary schools—Atwater and Cranberry in North Port.
The program's arrival was the vision of Gulf Coast donors Keith and Linda Monda, who have helped fund national implementation of Reading Recovery. Earlier this year, the Mondas partnered with Gulf Coast and the Charles and Margery Barancik Foundation to enable the school district to initiate the program in Sarasota County.
Through Reading Recovery, first-graders who have great difficulty reading and writing participate in intensive one-to-one lessons with a trained literacy teacher 30 minutes a day for 12 to 20 weeks. Lessons are customized for each child and designed to complement classroom teaching, helping students engage in regular academic work with their classmates. When a student is reading and writing at the level of their peers, the lessons end.
Success depends on extensive training for the Reading Recovery instructors. A key part of the program is for new instructors to learn from lead teachers and then continue gaining instructional tips from one another. That's where the new classroom comes in.
With a one-way mirror, soundproof walls, and an AV feed into an observation room, the classroom allows teachers to learn by closely watching an active lesson without distracting from it. According to Laura Kingsley, the school district's executive director of elementary education, they gain skill in the minute-to-minute decision-making that produces high-quality teaching.
"The behind-the-glass lesson is a powerful tool to help teachers learn the best ways to support the model of literacy that is the basis of Reading Recovery," said Kingsley. Tomas Dinverno, Tuttle's principal, added, "You should see how much hard work these teachers put in for each student. It really does take a team effort."
"This Is Huge"
At the three schools so far, six teachers have been trained and 61 students have been helped through Reading Recovery. "You are changing lives," Kingsley told the donors in attendance. "You are taking children who would have been destined for year after year of remediation, and instead they are working confidently beside their peers. This is huge!"
Speaking about their support for the program, Keith Monda said, "For Linda and I, the most important thing is that every child has the opportunity to learn, achieve, and succeed."
Monda noted that the initial success plus interest from more partners mean the program will expand in Sarasota County. "We have a plan to introduce it into all Title I schools, with the support of additional donors," he said. Schools expected to gain Reading Recovery next year are Alta Vista, Brentwood, Emma E. Booker, Glenallen, Gocio, Lamarque, and Wilkinson.
Thanking everyone who has played a part in bringing Reading Recovery to Sarasota, Superintendent Lori White said, "You've changed a district forever. The most important part, though—you've changed a student."

TransWorld SKATEboarding
Volume 21 Number 8
file: Brain Floss–Matt Dove
Brain Floss
Matt Dove
Matt Dove is within. He's one who displays action of his own without checking out who's looking. For instance, the other day a Suburban was bumping the streets of Costa Mesa, California. The driver sat alone with the windows rolled down–his neck moving every which way, scanning for onlookers. Strange is this phenomenon. Seemingly dodging bullets while an arsenal of his own insecurities lashed out upon everyone like a grenade exploding.
I love Matt because he has nothing to do with this sort. Dove is more of a chameleon–able to stealthily penetrate pretentious scenes without a trace. He and his mindful appreciation for all inhabitants of Earth walk a path of respect. His skateboarding abilities are unique in that his bag stock is individual.
When walking trails away from man, Matt's been known to accumulate specimens in the reptilian species. Somewhere along the line, Matt took on a passion for reptiles, fish, and such. Perhaps, growing up in downtown Baltimore, a rough and tough sailor city, had him seeking refuge along the shoreline for peace of mind–alongside riverbanks among the tall reeds avoiding contact with the ever so abrasive man. He did work at a zoo for a while tending to living matters.
My first encounter with Matt was in the cold city of Baltimore winters ago. I found myself staring into tub after tub filled with various scaled specimens in their primal stages of life. Heat lamps, timers, nets, thermometers, bags of food, different plants, aquariums–each tub contained hundreds of one species, and they were to be bred and dispersed to other lovers of the scale. This is when I first realized something here was different. This person isn't caught up in what your average young gentleman is–he's accelerated in a specific field and his passion showed a peaceful self. This makes for a peaceful traveler. A self-sufficient individual will always stand free, and Dove's expressions through art depict a deeper appreciation for his environment. Thank you.–Remy Stratton


text: Acute Cut started a thread in TurfMFG and eXmark responded and asked for some more input on the subject from you guys. Thought it would get a better response if it were poosted on Lawnsite. Not to mention I would like to hear what y'all have to say about this. Come on guys! Let's help 'em out!!! A link to the thread is at the end of this post. Either reply to this thread or the one on TurfMFG, your choice. Or both if you choose. This is basically what they asked: The control arrangement we have has been the same since we introduced the Lazer Z product. In your opinion and other professionals that read this post, do we have an opportunity for improvement? If yes, how so? - Location of controls (Does everyone prefer having them higher?(to the left or right?) - Are our controls easy to use, read etc.? - Do we have all of the necessary gauges you guys would like to see? - What other comments or suggestions do you all have? We appreciate your input on this...... Regards, Exmark http://www.turfmfg.com/showthread.php?threadid=192

Old school Italian restaurants. This city is full of them, and everyone has a favorite. Except us, that is. For whatever reason, this sort of dining has never appealed to us for much more than something to do with your third cousins when they come to visit from wherever third cousins come from. I guess it's the fact that a meal in a place like Il Mulino or John's can sometimes feel like little more than a really expensive reason to take a nap. Plus, Jay Z hasn't invited us up to Rao's yet, and we're kind of holding out for that.
But recently, we were turned on to a cult favorite of this type, Da Umberto. Yes, this is old school Italian eating (Tuscan to be exact), but this is definitely more our speed. Unlike a lot of other Little Italy and classic New York Italian joints, Da Umberto foregoes some of the shtick often found in these restaurants, and is pleasantly devoid of any pictures of the owner standing with Chazz Palminteri. It's actually a very classy spot with low lights and a contemporary vibe - appropriate even for a First/Early in the Game Date, assuming you are with someone who finds being wasted on red wine and truffles attractive. The food at Da Umberto is excellent, and refreshingly relies on quality ingredients to make an impression, rather than lots of crushed red pepper and "gravy". We were also impressed with the fact that the very friendly, very Italian staff manages to pull off "attentive" without coming across like this. Go to Little Italy sometime and tell me that you aren't scared that half those guys are either going to rob you or kiss you on the mouth. Or both.
Food Rundown
Just like so many of these old school Italian restaurants, Da Umberto has an extensive list of daily specials. Your waiter will rattle off about twenty things before he even gets to the entrees. You will probably remember about three of them. Stay strong. We recommend going for one of the vegetable/green options like an arugula salad or asparagus, depending on what's in season. Also, the pastas from the specials menu are usually amazing. If you are feeling baller, go for anything with truffles in it.
Fresh pasta here is the name of the game. We had an incredible butternut squash ravioli that had been lightly seared. Also, portion sizes are right for the course, not absurd like you're getting ready to hibernate. Whatever risotto they have at the time is also a solid choice.
We had an incredible Pork Milanese that was perfectly fried, and also happened to cover the entire ten inch plate. Two people could split that thing and still have enough to make a party sized sandwich for lunch the next day. Most of the entrees are big, so know that before you stuff your face early on in the meal.
Best part about this place? Dessert cart. Get some.

David Pogue Reviews the Amazing $100 Laptop
Back in March we discussed a new initiative called the One Laptop Per Child project which is aiming to provide low-cost OX laptops to children in developing nations. According to CNN Money, the OLPC already has around 7,000 machines in demonstration projects in about fifteen countries including Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, and Rwanda. We've heard alot about this project in the past few months, but now we actually get to see it in action thanks to New York Times technology columnist David Pogue. In this video below which was featured on Gizmodo, you'll get an eye-opening review of the $100 laptop (actually $188 laptop to be exact) and learn about all its incredible features. A must-watch indeed! I'd love to know your feedback about this video. Leave your comments below!

Rob Lee blog: 'Bernhard Langer is a great role model but won't earn Ryder Cup pick'
Sky Sports expert says Jim Furyk has lots of 'scar tissue'
By Rob Lee
Last Updated: 30/07/14 11:17am
Bernhard Langer's performance at the Senior Open Championship was amazing.
Here is a guy who is 56 years of age and has to deal with the yips whilst chipping and putting every day, yet he finished 18-under-par and 13 shots clear of a red-hot Colin Montgomerie.
I dare say that if you had every player who competed at The Open Championship at Hoylake a week previously they wouldn't have beaten Bernard's score.
I don't think you can claim Langer's victory was equal to or better than Rory McIlroy's US Open and USPGA triumphs, when he won by eight strokes, or Martin Kaymer's eight-shot victory at Pinehurst as he was playing against a smaller pool of potential winners, but it was remarkable nonetheless.
Bernhard looks exactly like he did all those years ago when he was winning The Masters and he remains the pro's pro and an example to young players of how to live your life and devote yourself to what you do, yet maintain a family life at the same time.
Langer is a special man – but I don't think he has any chance of getting a Ryder Cup wildcard.
You are talking about a possible five rounds in three days which is a lot for a man of Bernhard's age, while Gleneagles will also be wet so he won't be able to bomb the ball 350 yards down the fairway.
Europe are not struggling for players with Ryder Cup experience either as in the nine automatic spots at present only Victor Dubuisson and Jamie Donaldson have not played in the event before
Plus, if those places remain the same, Paul McGinley will be able to select from a host of Ryder Cup veterans, including Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Miguel Angel Jimenez, as his wildcards.
So, for me, Bernhard at Gleneagles is a non-starter.
It was good to see Tim Clark win the Canadian Open, meanwhile, as he has been a good, steady knocker for some time, albeit one who suffers with the same short-game malaise as Langer.
Tim hadn't had a victory on the PGA Tour since he became the shock winner of the Players Championship in 2010 but now that he has a second trophy in his cabinet maybe he can kick on, though he will have to deal with the long-putter ban come 2016.
I really enjoyed his victory in Montreal but I bet Jim Furyk didn't!
Furyk led by three going into the final round but ended up losing to Clark by a stroke and while Tim's five birdies in the last eight holes did the damage, Jim has a lot to think about because shooting one-under on a good scoring day was not going to get it done.
He has now failed to convert any of his last seven 54-hole leads into wins and when he is in final rounds he tends to twitch, muck about and play with a real lack of freedom.
There seems to be a bit of scar tissue there for Jim, which perhaps stems from not winning events he should have done earlier in his career.
I have Open Champion Rory McIlroy pegged to win the USPGA Championship at Valhalla as that course suits him like you wouldn't believe, but he's not one of my names for the Bridgestone.
I have two tips this week: Rickie Fowler and Lee Westwood.
The job Butch Harmon has done on Fowler's swing has been superb and I'd say it is one of the greatest swing rebuilds we've ever seen.
For Rickie to go from what came naturally to him to absorbing all that Butch has told him and flourishing with his new swing is testament to both player and coach.
Fowler finished fifth at The Masters and backed that up with second places at the US Open and The Open and it's time he got a win.
I saw Lee, meanwhile, on the range before Friday's round at The Open flushing the ball nicely and as he also needs the points as he fights for an automatic Ryder Cup spot, I think he is due a good tournament.

In theory, this summer's blockbusters performed exceptionally well. A number of heavy hitters such as Zootopia and Captain America: Civil War broke box office records and more movies than ever have finally hit the billion dollar mark.
However, the shockingly high earnings of films like Suicide Squad only tell half of the story. Although DC's super villain ensemble grossed the highest ever earnings for an August opening, Suicide Squad was also torn apart by critics while the likes of Ghostbusters received overwhelming hatred from fans, despite receiving far more critical acclaim.
It seems then that Hollywood is in a crisis of sorts, which doesn't bode well for audiences who are forced to pay more and more to see summer blockbusters as time goes on. Fortunately, that's where Netflix comes in.
While streaming movies at home may not replicate the cinematic experience in full, bathroom breaks are more readily available and there's no need to sneak in your own cheaper brand of popcorn with fear of being caught by eagle-eyed attendees. Best of all though, every summer blockbuster you would ever need is available from the comfort of your armchair — so join us as we reveal 12 of the best available to stream on Netflix right now.
1. Jurassic Park (1993)
While Steven Spielberg's first journey into dinosaur territory features neither Chris Pratt's abs nor charisma, the original Jurassic Park was an incredible adventure 65 million years in the making and boy does it show.
Has any other summer blockbuster instilled such a sense of awe in its audiences? From the moment that we first enter the park, Spielberg maintains a perfect balance of wonder and tension that refuses to let up until the credits finally roll. If you've somehow never got round to watching Jurassic Park, now's the time to fire up your Netflix account and devour this classic summer blockbuster in all its glory.
2. How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Pixar proved that animated sequels don't have to suck with the likes of Toy Story 3 and Finding Dory, but while that studio takes the spotlight in terms of awards and critical acclaim, Dreamworks have also proven that they're more than capable of delivering their own impressive animated blockbusters.
How To Train Your Dragon was a huge hit for Dreamworks back in 2010, so it would have been easy for the studio to lazily retread the same story line again for the sequel, but for our second foray into the world of dragons, Dreamworks crafted a surprisingly intricate story that appeals to children and adults alike.
Themes of animal welfare and parental abandonment resonate far more than you would expect, and it's incredibly refreshing to see an animated protagonist successfully overcome a physical disability without it becoming the central theme of the story.
3. The Fast and the Furious (2001)
When The Fast and the Furious first hit theaters, no one could have predicted quite how successful the franchise would be, developing into a globe-spanning, billion dollar series that somehow continues to gain more and more credence with each instalment.
The Fast and the Furious may not share the budget of movies released later in the franchise, but the adrenaline rush of the film's best race sequences still holds up remarkably well today — and for those of you who have only just caught onto the series, we highly recommend you head back to where it all began with this first movie.
Vin Diesel impresses in a breakout role and it's easy to see why Paul Walker's death touched so many people when you see the actor's charismatic performance in his early role of his.
Watch stunts from behind the scenes of Furious 7 below:
4. Back to the Future (1985)
Time travel movies can be tiresome and difficult to watch if not handled right, but Robert Zemeckis' first entry in the Back to the Future franchise remains one of the best takes on the genre ever, and has since become one of the most iconic sci-fi films ever made.
Marty McFly's journey back to the 1950s has had an indefinably strong impact on pop culture that's still seen regularly in everything from Family Guy to Rick & Morty. If you haven't seen Michael J. Fox in his best role yet than prepare yourself for a double dose of '50s and '80s nostalgia that could very well equate to the most fun film streaming on Netflix right now.
5. Grease (1978)
You probably know the words to every song from this classic musical without even realising it, but until you've actually watched John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John share some 'Summer Loving,' you haven't lived.
Just like Back to the Future, a rewatch of Randal Kleiser's crowd-pleasing hit evokes nostalgia for both the '70s and the '50s era in which Grease is set. The catchy songs and impressive dance numbers will make you long for a summer fling of your own and those double entendres are too much fun to resist.

6. Serenity (2005)
While we wait patiently for Joss Whedon to finally direct that female-led Marvel project he's been discussing for a while now (please say Black Widow, please say Black Widow), fans of his work on Buffy and the Avengers should drop everything they're doing and immediately watch Serenity if they haven't already.
Sure, the fact that it's a spin-off from a cancelled TV show may not instil much faith in non-believers, but Whedon's continuation of the epic story he began in Firefly is undoubtedly one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made, containing more thrilling set pieces and genuinely strong characterisation than half of the movies on Netflix.
Serenity's failure to light up the box office at the time of its release is one of the all-time great travesties of cinema, but fortunately Netflix is here to save the day and recruit you as another Browncoat in the legion of fans that the franchise developed since first airing in 2002.
Check out 30 of Buffy's best quips below:
7. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Spielberg's second entry on this list is arguably even more iconic than Jurassic Park, telling the story of a lonely boy's encounter with a homesick alien who's been separated from his parents.
Spielberg's signature themes of childhood and friendship coalesced here to create what many regard as the perfect movie, one that isn't afraid to shy away from the realities of a broken family while simultaneously soaring on the possibilities of imagination and wonder.
Interest in classic '80s fare such as E.T. has been renewed recently thanks to the Netflix show Stranger Things, which combines the best of Stephen King with Steven Spielberg's most powerful movies to create a unique homage that pays fitting tribute to the masterpiece that is E.T.
8. Stardust (2007)
Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class and Kingsman: The Secret Service number among some of the most inventive and exhilarating blockbusters of the last few years, but out of every movie in director Matthew Vaughn's filmography, Stardust is arguably the most fun, despite often being overlooked by audiences.
Before fairytales came back in vogue, Vaughn's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Stardust achieved what the likes of Mirror, Mirror and Snow White & The Hunstman failed to, which is to bring the magical tone of fairytales to life on the big screen.
Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes both impress with standout performances, but what intrigues us most is seeing Charlie Cox and Henry Cavill star in early roles before they took on superhero parts as Daredevil and Superman respectively.
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Not every billion dollar movie franchise starts out as a theme park ride, but then not every billion dollar movie franchise stars Johnny Depp in one of the most bizarre yet mesmerizing roles of his career.
Captain Jack Sparrow undoubtedly became the largest draw of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but there's still a lot to enjoy in the first film even when he's off screen, including cavalier performances from the rest of the pirate cast and some impressive action sequences on the high scenes.
If you're looking for pure popcorn entertainment for your next Netflix binge, thar she blows my friends! Jump on board.
10. The Mummy (1999)
Finally, we would be failing in our duties if we didn't recommend Universal's campy yet super-entertaining Mummy reboot from the late '90s, which featured the now largely-forgotten Brendan Fraser in ultimate action hero mode.
The Mummy delights in paying homage to the old black-and-white classics it draws inspiration from, but the advancement of special effects finally brought this tale to life in a way that old-school Hollywood directors could only dream of.
Make sure you add The Mummy to your play queue as soon as possible, before the upcoming reboot of the franchise hits cinemas. In terms of sheer fun and entertainment, there's no way in hell they're going to improve upon this one.

Turnovers do in Auburn in 81-79 loss to Illinois
CHICAGO -- It wasn't hard to pinpoint why Auburn lost to No. 12 Illinois on Saturday. Twenty turnovers will do the trick.
While the Tigers kept coughing it up, Tracy Abrams scored 27 points to lead the Illini to an 81-79 victory.
Auburn coach Tony Barbee was not happy.
"We just have to take care of the basketball, it's plain and simple," he said. "Illinois didn't press us one possession and we ended up with 20 (turnovers). If you watch them play, they're active with their hands, they get their hands on a lot of balls, but you can't be as careless as we were with the ball tonight. We have to address that before we get into (Southeastern Conference play)."
The Illini (13-1) saw an 11-point lead shrink to one in the closing minutes but they prevailed after falling to Missouri in the Braggin' Rights game a week earlier -- their first loss under coach John Groce. Their next game is the Big 10 opener at Purdue on Wednesday.
Things got tense when Frankie Sullivan buried a 3 for Auburn (5-7) to make it 68-67 with 4:29 remaining. Illinois then hit 13 of 18 free throws the rest of the way for a rare win at the United Center, where they had dropped three straight and five of six after winning 18 in a row.
They can thank Abrams.
The sophomore guard came up big on a day when their star player Brandon Paul was off target, going 6 of 11 from the field and 13 of 15 from the free throw line while eclipsing his previous high by five points.
Paul, meanwhile, finished with 13 points but hit just 3 of 12 shots. He missed all five 3-point attempts and the Illini again struggled from the outside, going 4 of 15 after hitting 8 of 32 against Missouri.
Even so, they head into conference play on a winning note.
"We going to stay level," Abrams said. "We're going to try to execute our game plan."
Sullivan led Auburn with 21 points. Rob Chubb scored 13, and Allen Payne chipped in with 10 points and 10 rebounds. But there was the 20 turnovers -- six by Chris Denson and five by Sullivan.
Barbee called that "just inexcusable," and Sullivan wasn't about to argue.
"We were just being lazy with the ball, not executing," Sullivan said. "It was more us (making mental mistakes), because they weren't really pressuring us."
Josh Wallace hit a 3-pointer at the final buzzer for Auburn to make it a two-point game, but by then, the Illini had sealed the win.
Both teams hit 16 of 30 shots in the first half, but Illinois took a 47-42 lead with Abrams scoring 16 points. He hit two free throws with 4 minutes left in the half to break a 39-39 tie and start a 14-5 run that stretched into the second half.
The only points for Auburn during that stretch came on a three-point play by Wallace with 2:22 remaining before halftime and two free throws by Chubb with 17:15 left in the game before D.J. Richardson hit two of his own for Illinois, making it 53-44.
The Tigers went more than 7 minutes without a field goal before Sullivan's layup with 15 minutes remaining. But Paul answered with a wild one of his own, flipping the ball over his shoulder and into the basket as he slipped near the baseline.
That was one of the highlight reel plays in a game that Groce said was the "grindiest 80-point game I've been involved in."
Now, the real grind is beginning.
Groce, an assistant at Ohio State before taking the head coaching job at Ohio University, knows what to expect.
"Home, road, all of them are fistfights," he said. "It's a great league. Toughness is really, really important. Execution is really important and then players making plays is important."

Vitamin D Deficiency May be Affecting Celiacs' Immune Systems by Laura Wesson

This article appeared in the Winter 2007 edition of Celiac.coms Scott-Free Newsletter.
Celiac.com 04/26/2007 - My fingernails were shredding and I was a bit out of it mentally, missing obvious things. I've had to stop eating many foods because I have intolerances to almost everything I used to eat before I went gluten-free, and I wondered if I had dropped some essential nutrients when I cleared all of those foods out of my diet. So I checked my diet for nutrient deficiencies, using the USDA nutrients database at www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search. I'm sure there's software that works with this database but I wrote a little computer program to analyze my diet. I have an electronic food scale, so weighing food is easy.
The most important thing I found is that I'm low on vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from food, or from a supplement, and from the ultraviolet B in sunlight; many of us, like me, may get almost none from any of those sources. And—this is important for a lot of us—vitamin D deficiency can cause a lot of symptoms including immune system problems! I went looking on Medline and it was mentioned as having anti-inflammatory properties, as preventing cancers such as colon cancer and lymphoma; preventing infections, and helping with autoimmune diseases. Gluten intolerance is less common in the middle east and more common in northern Europe. I've seen this explained as the result of evolution, since wheat has been used for longer in the Middle East. But I wonder if people in the north are also more likely to be gluten intolerant (an autoimmune disease) because they don't get as much vitamin D. It may also explain why people get more colds during the winter season when there's less sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency is best known for causing rickets in children and osteomalacia (softened bones, muscle weakness and pain, tender sternum) in adults. Osteomalacia is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, because the symptoms are similar. Rickets is increasing in the U.S., especially among black children. Most post-menopausal bone loss in women occurs during the winter. It can take months of increased vitamin D intake to correct the health problems caused by deficiency.
There are only a few significant dietary sources of vitamin D. In the U.S., almost all milk is fortified with vitamin D to 100 IU per cup, so you should get the recommended daily intake of 400 IU if you drink 4 cups of milk per day. However, milk often doesn't have as much vitamin D as is claimed on the label. Some cereals, like Kellogg's Cornflakes, have small amounts of added vitamin D. Typically, 10 cups of fortified cereal would give you the RDI. The government encourages fortification of milk and cereal so that fewer children will develop rickets. Otherwise—you would get the RDI from nine oysters, or about 4 ounces of fatty fish like salmon or tuna, or a teaspoon of cod liver oil. Many other kinds of fish have only small amounts. You'd have to eat 2 pounds of cod to get the RDI. The only natural vegan source of vitamin D is Shiitake mushrooms. Just like people, mushrooms make vitamin D when they're exposed to ultraviolet. About 13 sun-dried shiitake mushrooms contain the RDI. And that's it. Many of us on gluten-free diets are also not eating dairy or fortified cereals, so unless we have a passionate love-affair with fish or oysters or shiitake, we would be getting almost no vitamin D from food.
You can get vitamin D the natural way, from the sun. It takes exposure to sunlight outside (not under glass) on your hands and feet for about fifteen minutes a day. I was not sure what was meant by "direct sunlight". I read someplace that ultraviolet is scattered over the whole sky. Unlike visible light, the whole sky shines with ultraviolet. Clouds would filter out some of it. People with dark skin require more time in the sun, so many black people develop a deficiency. Using even low-SPF sunscreen prevents your body from making vitamin D. The farther from the equator you live, the less UVB there is in the winter sunlight, because the sun is closer to the horizon in the winter and the sunlight filters through more atmosphere before it gets to you. At the latitude of Boston, and near sea level, there isn't enough UVB radiation between November and February for one's body to make vitamin D.
You have probably heard the public health advice to wear sunscreen—the same ultraviolet B that generates vitamin D in your body also causes skin cancer and ages skin. The small amount of exposure to sunlight required is probably only a very small cancer risk and would cause little photo-aging of the skin. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find quantitative information about how carcinogenic fifteen minutes' daily sun exposure would be. There are also vitamin D lights, which are probably also a healthful choice.
I have severe immune system problems. I tested positive for 53 inhalant allergies—my body had developed allergies to almost all the allergens around. I get sick for days if I eat almost any of the foods that I ate while I was eating gluten. I even get sick from a couple of foods that, so far as I can remember, I only started eating on a gluten-free diet. So I live on an exotic-foods diet. I've had a hellish time trying to get allergy shots. At a concentration of 1 part in 10 million they make me sick for a couple of days while the normal starting concentration for allergy shots is 1 in 100,000. I'm plagued by bladder infections. With cranberries being one of my intolerances, I can't even use them to help prevent the infections.
I've certainly been short of vitamin D. I live in the north, and I'm always careful to use high-SPF sunscreen when I go outdoors. I can't eat milk, fish, shellfish or mushrooms, so I can't get a significant amount of vitamin D from food. I haven't been taking any vitamin supplements, because almost all have traces of protein from some food that makes me sick. It would be lovely if vitamin D deficiency turned out to be part of the cause of my very burdensome immune problems. I'm skeptical because I was getting vitamin D from a supplement and/or from my diet up until 2 years ago, when I found I had a vast number of hidden food intolerances, and I started having reactions to vitamin pills. Fortunately there is a vitamin D supplement that I can take—vitamin D3 made by Pure Encapsulations. The ingredients in the capsule are made from wool and pine trees. I'll find out if it helps over the next few months.
Vitamin D causes disease when taken in large amounts, so if you think you are deficient, don't take too much to make up for it. Vitamin D is a hormone—it's not something to take in mega-doses, any more than, hopefully, one would take a mega-dose of estrogen or testosterone. If your doctor recommends a high dose, they should do regular blood tests to keep track of your vitamin D level. It's pretty safe to take up to 2000 IU per day on your own. Dr. Michael Holick, a vitamin D researcher at Boston University and author of The UV Advantage, believes that people need about 1000 IU per day. I asked a family doctor, who said they suggest 400-800 IU per day for middle-aged women. However, it might be a good idea for gluten intolerant people to take more, about 1000 - 2000 IU per day, since we may have difficulties absorbing vitamins and celiac disease is an autoimmune disease.
Vitamin D is very important, just as all the vitamins are. But we are conditioned by the media, and tend to think more about vitamins C and E, which get a lot of attention because they're antioxidants. Vitamin D was the absolutely last one I looked at. Then I found that it was my most serious deficiency! And nutrient deficiencies are not a trendy topic, so the possibility of developing deficiencies is something people tend to forget while trying to improve their diets. Many people who avoid gluten also have other food intolerances, or are on some other kind of special diet, and it would be an excellent idea to go to the USDA database and find out whether their new diet is giving them enough vitamins and minerals. It certainly helped me. I feel more cheerful and alert, like my mind woke up on a sunny day.
It's best to get as much as possible from one's diet, too. Whole foods have a lot in them that's good for the body that research hasn't yet identified, and if your diet gives you the RDA of all the vitamins and minerals, it will also be giving you other healthful nutrients that will do you a lot of good. This might also be true of vitamin D. Maybe it's better to get a small amount of ultraviolet, like an iguana sitting under a UV lamp, instead of taking pills. UVB might be healthy in ways we don't yet know about.
Vitamin D is a bit like stored-up sunlight. You can catch it for yourself from the sun when it's high in the sky, you can eat the sunlight the fish have gathered for you, or you can take a supplement and keep packed sunlight on your shelf.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I founded The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.View all articles by Scott Adams

What a pleasure to read the article. It seems that you did your research good and I like your style of writing. I agree with you that sunlight is vital. And with everything else you talked about. Good job! My daughter is allergic to wheat, eggs and milk, but none of the doctors we saw for this wanted to help with advice. Celiac disease is a plague that most doctors don't even want to admit. I diagnosed my daughter myself initially, just by symptoms. I hope we will get it under control. The doctors only made the situation harder...

Great article, but I'd lose the sunscreen part. Especially in the northern climes, the time you need in the sun isn't likely to cause skin cancer. The ingredients in the product would probably cause you more trouble than the sun!

Very informative. You mentioned Kellogg's corn flakes as a possible small source of Vitamin D . My understanding is that this product contains Maltodextrin (or something similar to that), and is not a gluten free item. I actually really liked this stuff, so I phoned their 1-800 number and they confirmed the non-gluten free status for this product.

Thanks for this article. I sympathize with you about your immune problems. I am the same way - plagued by bladder infections and facial cellulitis. My urologist recently started me on D-Mannose. It is a sugar molecule that attracts, like a magnet, bacteria in the bladder so it passes right through and doesn't get an opportunity to burrow into the bladder wall. It might be worth a try to see if it works for you.

I too have been diagnosed with celiac disease and consistently get facial cellulitis, for which I am always on antibiotics. What did your doctor tell you to do about this? I am just curious because I hate taking antibiotics as it consistently hurts my stomach.

Hi Anita,
My name is Fatima, and I live overseas in Jordan. I had an elevated PTH and vitamin D deficiency for over 10 years! and just recently my PTH level came down to normal, and my vitamin D is up to normal level by using a 50,000 powdered vitamin D once every week for 2 months, and then 5000 every other day for another month. And this is how my deficincies and PTH were corrected. Hope this help.

I have been taking 50,000 milligrams of vitamin D once a week for 9 months and my level is only 17. They say it won't hurt you because you don't have enough to begin with. My Level was only 7 when I started.

fish oils like Tran are good source of Vitamin D if you live up north like me. I moved to Norway and I notice I tend to get ill if I 'forget' my Tran in a longer period of time. Norwegians say that you should take it all months including 'R' in their name: September to April.

I beg to differ regarding this sentence: "Vitamin D causes disease when taken in large amounts". In reality, you'd have to take a lot before that would happen (most people would not take more than 20 000iu per day). However, when taking large doses, you need to get enough magnesium, as well as some zinc, K2 and calcium - either from diet or supplements. With magnesium, you'd need supplements, though. About 400-1000mg per day, and your body will usually tell you how much you need. Get a good bio available brand.

I have read that celiac CAUSES low D. Not the other way around. Celiacs blocks D. Not sure it won't cause more pain when you take supplements. It caused more pain for me. I am still searching.

I just read the informative book "Wheat Belly" by William Davis, MD. The author points out the relationship of celiac disease to the prevalence of wheat in the American diet, and he means all wheat, including "healthy" gluten-free bread. I think this book is a good read for anyone with nutrition and digestion problems. Will keep you posted on how I do on a (challenging!) wheat-free diet.

Gluten-free bread is free of wheat, so this doesn't make sense. However, if you're saying gluten-free bread is not healthy, that would make sense. Gluten free breads are made with non-wheat flours (rice, nut, etc.).

I did an elimination diet to find out what was making me like a narcoleptic. After I started adding foods back in, the symptoms for all food groups across the board were out of control - I seemed to be allergic to everything. Your article gives me renewed hope. One of the supplements a doctor had given me after doing testing was Vit D3-5 from Bio-Tech. I had stopped taking it along with 5 other supplements for reasons I won't bore you with. I think I'll add in the vitamin D and see if that makes a difference. I'm also vitamin C deficient to the point of scurvy, but can juice with my Omega 8400 Juicer with no problem (when I'm awake!)

Generally, celiac patients have trouble digesting the protein in milk (casein), so it's recommended that dairy also be eliminated if you have celiac disease. I drink alternative milks. I also developed a slight egg allergy, apparently from the iodine in eggs, which can be a trigger (iodine) for people who get the celiac rash (dermatitis herpetiformis).

Hi Louie and welcome Sorry you're feeling poorly. Although some do experience it, it's more likely some cross contamination than withdrawal from gluten. You're learning the hard way that the longer you go on the diet the more sensitive your body becomes to even tiny amounts of gluten. ...
Are original or berry ricolas cough drops good to go? I didn't see the bag said anything about gluten-free and there were two ingredients that I was unsure about, the starch syrup and the Carmel flavoring.

This application provides an efficient method to calculate and record WPM (Words Per Minute) easily, which supports your practice of speed reading. WPM, calculating how many words you can read within one minute, is very important to affirm your achievement of speed reading practice. There are a lot of excellent methods to learn speed reading and in any method it is said that to check your WPM is the first exercise and should be done regularly. However, it involves an immense amount of time and effort if you count up your WPM using a clock and textbook. The following is one of the easiest calculation methods generally known. Citation "To Find Your Reading Rate 1. Select a section of your testing book that is about ten pages long and that you have not read. 2. Read as fast as you can in the material for three minutes. Use your timing device. 3. At the end of the three minutes, make a pencil or pen mark where you stopped reading, then close the book. (snip) 4. First find the average number of words per line: (a) ___ WPL 5. Count the total number of lines read: (b) ___ 6. Multiply "a" by "b" for total amount you read: (c) ___ 7. Divide "c" by the number of minutes you read: ___ WPM You might think this is troublesome. Our intent is not to be able to count quickly the words or lines which we have read but to be able to read fast. This is where the application comes in. If you use this application, you can easily compute and record your WPM with one touch. First, please select a time limit and click the start button, then concentrate on reading as fast as you can. After the final whistle, all you have to do is to touch the last word you read. As a result, the number of the words you have read, the time you took, and WPM will be shown, so please save them by pressing the "Save this record" button if there is no problem. You can reconfirm the result later from the "History" button on the bottom-left. (How to practice) Once you have checked your current WPM, you need the practice to read faster. Whether consciously or not, the average reader tends to read over sentences. The practice section of this application will help you avoid the tendency to read over. Set your target WPM and press the "Start Training" button. The words start to disappear from the beginning at the rate of WPM you have set, so please try to read keeping the speed. You'll find that your speed reading ability has been improving while you repeat the test and practice. Manual of appendix: To change text size and color, and control the volume of the button pressing or page turning sounds, go to the "Setting" button on the top right. Adding text: To add your favorite texts, please press the "+" button on the top left of the text select page.

1 In this comparison between the Soul and the State both are regarded as consisting of two parts or elements, the ruling and the ruled, of which the former is the noblest, but the latter the "greatest" in bulk and extent. The ruling element in the Soul is Reason (νοῦς, λόγος), and in the State it is Law (νόμος) and its exponents: the subject element in the Soul consists of sensations, emotions and desires, which (both in hulk and in irrationality) correspond to the mass of the "volgus" in the State. Plato's usual division of the Soul is into three parts—reason (νοῦς), passion (θυμός), and desire (ἐπιθυμία): cp. Plat. Rep. 435ff.
