If you just search for hardware store, in a search engine world tailored to the 'most `relevant`, most linked-to, etc' you probably could expect to always see the larger ones, the type with the big blue sign, or the big orange sign? The rotation might allow those searching for the lesser-known to have it come up first. Especially in highly competitive areas, where there are more than 10 or 20 with the same PR, those would be easy to 'randomize' a bit.
How about if there was a 'preference' in your google preferences where you controlled whether it rotated or not? For example, when searching for hardware stores, some people are looking for the big mega stores, and some are looking for really good mom-and-pop hardware stores on the corner.

Condensed Milk Ice Cream
To speed up the process, put the tin of condensed milk and cream in the fridge before starting
(You can click on ingredients to see more related recipes)
⅔ cup | Sweetened condensed milk |
1 cup | Water |
1 tsp | Vanilla essence/extract |
1 cup | Cream |
- Blend the condensed milk, water and vanilla essence and pour into a shallow tray.
- Chill for five minutes in the freezer (I used a Tupperware slice holder which is 30cm long and 5cm deep, and has the advantage of having a lid to put on later).
- Whip the cream until thick, but not stiff. Pour the chilled milk mixture into a bowl and fold the whipped cream into it.
- Return the mixture to your tray and freeze until the outsides start to ice up.
- Put it back into the bowl and beat until mushy, but not completely melted.
- The original recipe then tells you to freeze until firm, but I found that the mixture separated if you do this.
- Instead, over the hour or so it takes to freeze properly, pull it out, put in the bowl and beat a few times to keep it airy and light before it freezes properly.
- I used a balloon whisk in order to keep it light and airy
Suggestions for flavourings: care of the Anchor book: Coconut: Add ½ cup dessicated coconut.Raspberry: Add a tin of raspberries (strained) and 2 tbsp lemon juice.Custard: Add 1/5 tbsp custard powder.Passionfruit: Add 4 tbsp passionfruit pulp.Pineapple: Add 227g tin crushed pineapple.Chocolate: Add 1 tbsp cocoa.

The onions were a little too sweet for me, but all in all it was ok. Without the goat cheese i wouldn't like it at all. This did take a long time to make and I even used the mandoline to cut all those onions.

Gangrape victim's body to reach India around midnight
The body of the 23-year-old victim of brutal gangrape and assault in Delhi is likely to be flown to India around midnight, hours after she died at a Singapore super specialty hospital.
The girl, who was shifted to Singapore on December 27 from the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, breathed her last at 4.45 am (2.15 am IST), Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital, where she was being treated, said in a statement.
Indian High Commission sources said the body will be flown back in a chartered Air India plane that would take off around midnight local time (9.30 pm IST).
On the chartered plane, sent by the Indian government, would be her family members who have been in Singapore since the girl was brought to the hospital in an extremely critical condition.
The victim, who underwent three surgeries at Safdarjung Hospital, was gangraped and brutally assaulted on December 16 by six men in a moving bus in Delhi. The assault had damaged her internal organs. She also suffered a cardiac arrest and brain injury.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45 am on 29 December 2012 (Singapore time)," the Singapore hospital's Chief Executive Officer Dr Kelvin Loh said in a statement.
"Her family and officials from the High Commission of India were by her side. The Mount Elizabeth Hospital team of doctors, nurses and staff join her family in mourning her loss," the statement said.
Indian High Commissioner T C A Raghavan said the girl, who was conscious, fought a brave battle till the end.
He said the final few hours was a trying time for the girl's family and they bore the entire process with a great deal of fortitude and courage.
Raghavan said the family has requested that their privacy be respected in their hour of grief.

Bart's new friend takes him under his wing. watch
Sarah Jessica Parker, Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan, Olivia Munn, and Christina Hendricks star in I Don't Know How She Does It, a comedy from director Douglas McGrath (Emma, Infamous) and producer Donna Gigliotti (The Reader, Let Me In). Based on the critically acclaimed bestseller by Allison Pearson, I Don't Know How She Does It follows a Boston-based working mother trying desperately to juggle marriage, children, and a high-stress job. Kate Reddy (Parker) devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, recently-downsized architect husband Richard (Kinnear) and their two young children. It's a non-stop balancing act, the same one that Kate's acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison (Christina Hendricks) performs on a daily basis, and that Kate's super-brainy, child-phobic young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid. When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for-and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate's charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Brosnan), who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.

But life gets difficult when she lands a lucrative new account that requires frequent travel, at the same time Richard receives a job offer he can't refuse. Further complicating matters are her ambitious, child-phobic junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn of TV's PERFECT COUPLES) and new business partner Jack (Pierce Brosnan of MAMMA MIA!, JAMES BOND FRANCHISE), who becomes an unexpected source of temptation. Based on the novel by Allison Pearson.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

My CTR is also significally down this month, like my affiliate bookings. My audience seems not to be in buying (or booking) mood right now. But what I did (yesterday, incidentally) was not pulling the ads, but increasing the fun factor by shifting content and placing some additional features much more prominently (which could have been overlooked in the past). Result: Clicks per visitor is further down (ca. 15 % yesterday compared to the beginning of October, today even worse so far), but pageviews per visitor are 30 % up. This way money is still rolling in, and visitors are spending more time on my site (what I take as a sign of pleasure) which could also lead to some bookmarks/recommendations.
Zett, I'm with you.

| Posted almost 5 years ago I can't imagine how you must feel. All the advice I can give you is to WAIT....while you wait on God to help you through this horrible time, serve Him and Worship Him. There is an awesome song by John Waller, called "While I'm waiting". It is from the movie "FIREPROOF". If you can go to google. com and type it in, you can listen to it. It has helped me through so much. No matter what happens, God will help you through this hard time. I am not saying it will automatically get fixed...but He will give you strength to be hopeful and happy while you wait for His help in His time. It is so hard. I am waiting right now myself. It is hard, but each day I smile because I have the BIG guy on my side. Listen to the song. It is amazing! AND WELCOME back....it wasn't the same without your presence. You are amazingly strong. You may just not know how strong you really are! Love you bunches, Dawn....email me is you need anything!!! A good man loves other. A better man loves God. A great man loves God and lives well among others! I miss you daddy!

Clair's confidence challenge - looking great for her wedding
BY Clare Catt
Clair struggles to put on weight – and keep it on. The 28-year-old asked body+soul to help her as she prepares to marry the love of her life.
Now well into the challenge, Clair has taken advice from body+soul experts and skincare tips from Dr. Lewinn's and is on her way to being a picture perfect bride.
I am half-way there.
"I feel great – I'm really enjoying the challenge and have put on 2.5 kilos, which is halfway to my goal. It takes commitment to keep up the diet, training and skin care regime but I have certainly noticed an overall improvement which has been a great motivator to continue."
"My new food plan has made a big difference and I feel energised. It has been great to learn that a programme tailored to my lifestyle can actually work.
"I have tried many fad diets and training programmes before, and when you don't see the results in a short period of time you give up.
"My fiancé Matt has commented on how well and fit I look which is really encouraging.
"My skin is looking great. I am really enjoying the Dr. Lewinn's Complex and Line Smoothing Hydrating Day Cream & Night Cream – I don't have any dryness around the cheeks, nose and forehead anymore.
"I feel a lot happier, especially because I have a clear strategy in place to help me achieve my goal. I don't feel as stressed about reaching it as I know now it is achievable and I feel good about that."
We will be adopting a new privacy policy from 11 March, 2014.

I am really enjoying Glick's rapid fire journalistic style and his way of inserting just enough comedy into the descriptions. The first "chapter" left me concerned...what kind of self-indulgent jerk takes little kids to the jungle to get over their collective problems? But as the writing goes on..the author's whole character is becoming more apparent and the adventurous decision...less far-fetched. I am hopelessly stuck anticipating what happens next!

My car
I've owned this car for 4 months now, bought a pre-reg 13 plate. This car has to be the best car I have owned based on the price paid. I bought mine with a 30% discount & there's nothing on the market that comes close in this price range.
SPACE: It's really roomy. The boot is huge & there's plenty of space in the back. You can fit 4 6-footers in the car with no issues. We have two child car seats & there's still room for a third to sit between them. There's cup holders, seat pockets, glovebox is OK.
DRIVE: The 1.2 TSI engine is very responsive so when you need that extra urgency you get it. Free road tax in the 1st year, £30 after that. We drive ours short distances & a full tank gets 450-500 miles. The steering is light & parking is easy as it looks bigger than it actually is. Visibility is good.
EQUIPMENT: THe S spec has all the basics you need. I weighed up what was missing between an S & SE, given the price difference it didn't make much sense to go SE. Air con would have been nice but I live in England, so it would only get used for 1 week a year.
Note that there are some deals to be had at the moment, Skoda released the Rapid in Nov 2012 then updated the spec in March 2013 on the new plate. They didn't sell well since the older Octavia was still around at roughly the same price. S remains unchanged, but the older SE's don't have front fog lights, cruise control & rear electric windows. If you don't need any of the above you can get a bargain.

Kenyans To Get Virtual Identities
By David Ngige
Kenya will assign each person using the internet a virtual identity to curb the rising tide of cyber crime.
Information PS Dr Bitange Ndemo said the ministry, through the Kenya ICT Board, would soon establish the public key infrastructure, which will allocate virtual identities to internet and digital services users. He said procurement has been completed and the project is now moving to the implementation phase.
"We are moving fast towards records automation and these systems need to be protected because some people have evil intentions," Dr Ndemo said at a media briefing ahead of the East African Cyber Security Convention 2012 was held on December 4 and 5. "We will keep reviewing our policies and legislation to keep pace with technology."
He said there has been a marked increase in cyber crime, especially targeted at banks, organisation registries and mobile services, and called for a joint effort of public and private sectors to counter the criminal acts.
Dr Ndemo said the government is building an ecosystem of cyber security, adding that a research team has been constituted at the Communication Commission of Kenya (CCK) to come up with a counter-strategy.
He noted that many countries were using Kenya as an incubator for tech services like applications and the country needs to have a defence against cyber criminals like hackers to continue being the launch pad for IT services. "Cyber criminals seek to destroy or steal bank records, registries or even cash. You can imagine if they attacked, say, M-Pesa, which hold Sh5 billion at any moment. There would be chaos," he said.
The East Africa cyber security convention brings together government and private sector players in IT, security and business to explore a common front for fighting cyber crime which, according to IT security services company McAfee, increased by 43 per cent in the third quarter globally and now tops $2.5 billion (Sh210 billion) in revenues.
Cyber Security Africa, which is organising the conference, says cyber threats have been identified as the most pressing challenge to the security of organisations in the region.
"With a few strokes of a keyboard, nation states, terrorist groups, stateless organisations and rogue individuals can launch a cyber-attack from anywhere, at any time, disrupting and damaging democracies and way of life," said Sammy Kioko, Cyber Security Africa alliance manager.
"Due to the huge scope of cyber threats, it requires active engagement of all stakeholders, including companies in every industry segment."
He said Cyber Security Africa has this year expanded its scope to include the Huawei Broaderway Forum, which is the main sponsor of the conference. The other partners are McAfee, SmoothTel, Sabric, Cloud Security Alliance, TESPOK, 3G, Eacademy Group and the Ministry of Information and Communications.
He said East Africa is uniquely positioned to become the first region in Africa to develop this model of cyber security. "Our region has unique elements, which if combined and leveraged effectively, can yield innovative cyber security solutions," said Mr Kioko.
"These include a private sector with a global footprint and an understanding of corporate and international dimensions of cyber security, high tech industry segments that depend on securing assets, renowned research universities and faculty, and informed and engaged public policy leaders."
McAfee account manager for East Africa Emmanuel Kimeu said the cyber warfare has gone global and even the United Nations has established a unit to deal with it. "Mobile devices, especially Android, are increasingly being targeted, and this will soon come to Kenya," he said. "The underworld has become a big business."

Buxton Mineral Water
Date: 15/10/11
Advantages: tastes fresh, easyt od rink, good bottle, cheap to buy, no chemicals
Disadvantages: None
I like to make sure I have enough water on a daily basis, especially seeing as I workout in the gym a lot, and I do not want to suffer from dehydration. I usually drink most of my water from the gym itself, as it is free, chilled and easy, but when I am out and about, I do buy the occasional bottle of water from shops.
I am not too fussy with which brand of water I drink, as long as it is still water. I usually buy what ever is the best price for the size. I was recently in my local Poundland and I saw that they had two bottles of Buxton water for £1, and they were the 1 litre bottles, so I found this to be a great deal. These usually cost around £1 each in Boots, so I snapped up a couple of bottles.
I was quite thirsty when I was shopping, so the water was a welcome to my dry throat. The bottles have a clip on cap, which is attached to a bottle by a thin strip of plastic on the back of the cap. This is to ensure you can keep the lid so you don't spill any water, which is great as I keep the bottle in my handbag!
The bottle has a contoured shape to it, which I find is really easy to hold on to when I am drinking from it. The bottles are made of plastic, much like most other water bottles, and there is different textures on part of the bottle, which I think are to make it easier to hold on to.
When it comes to taste, most water tastes the same I have found. This water has a clean taste to it, and it doesn't have the chemically taste you can find with some cheaper brands of bottled water. There is not really much else you can say about the taste of water, but this is one of the better bottled water brands I have tried.
Buxton tells us that their water is soruced from St. Annes Spring in the Peak District, and that it has been filtered through Limestone. They also state that their water is one of the purest spring waters in the country.
You could do a lot worse when it comes to bottled water, and if you can get this on a deal in places like Poundland, it is great value for money. Even when unchilled, this water is perfectly drinkable, and I quite like it. It is handy to have in my bag when I need a top up, and you can also buy this in smaller sizes like 250ml bottles and in larger ones like a 2 litre bottle.
Now we all know that water is calorie free, and that it is vital we drink water to keep ourselves hydrated and healthy, but the mineral composition of this water also add extra health benefits to drinking it. It can also taste fresher than tap water, and it has no chemical treatments like tap water does.
Personally, I find this is a good brand of bottled water to buy and I give Buxton Mineral Water a 5 out of 5 stars. 100% recommended.
Summary: A nice mineral water from Buxton

Chico's FAS' expansion plans are taking it outside U.S. borders, to Canada. The women's apparel retailer is opening a White House Black Market store at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Toronto on Oct. 24, and will follow it up with an opening at Square One, Mississauga on Oct. 29, as well as an opening at Upper Canada Mall, Newmarket on November 12.
L'Oréal has appointed Kristina Schake as the company's chief communications officer, effective July 8.
Chico FAS's comparable sales for the first quarter ended May 4 were flat compared to a nearly 10% increase in last year's first quarter, thanks to an unusually cool spring and the cycling of strong comparable sales last year.
The Senate has voted unanimously to confirm former Walmart Foundation President Sylvia Mathews Burwell as White House budget director, according to a Reuters report.

text: Above the noise: Bond market is signalling risk-off in equities Peter Garnry , Head of Equity Strategy, Saxo Bank Filed in Above the noise Denmark, 28 November 2012 at 14:01 GMT+0 Recommended Recommend Unrecommend Recommend As regular readers of the Above the Noise blog may have noticed, I have been negative on equities since late September, and have made several comments about the discrepancy between the change in global equities and the change in economic expectations among German export companies. Another relationship that my good colleague John Hardy was so kind to highlight today is the action in corporate bond spreads (see chart below). The chart shows the spread in basis points between Moody's Corporate Bond BAA and AAA yield index versus the S&P 500 index (BAA is the notch just above non.investment grade bonds, red. speculative). The relationship is clearly inverse, which we would expect, as widening bond spreads signal rising risk-off environment and increased risk premium on credit risk which is naturally bearish for equities. However, the relationship is coincident and as such neither of the time-series can be used to predict the other. Maybe from time to time the one will lead the other but it would not be a robust indicator. It could easily change. If they are coincident what can we use the chart for? Well, the corporate bond spread has generally a more smooth nature compared to moving averages used to gauge the overall direction in equities. This takes out more noise and reduces the likelihood of false positives from other technical indicators. This is important in rejecting short-term rallies in downward trends. The recent upward move in the bond spread is confirming that the risk premium on credit risk is rising and the rate of change in the spread is consistently positive over the last couple of weeks, indicating that a change is likely happening. If we buy the myth that bond investors are normally more rational than equity investors and do a better job of discounting the near-term future in the economy, then the latest move in the bond spread is confirming that we are still in a risk-off environment in equities. In other words our call from late September suggesting that global equities had probably reached their top for the year seems to be holding up. Our call, in fact, said that equities would be perform badly over a 5-6 months period. With this in mind we reiterate our stance that equities could continue to fall and downside risk is still higher than upside risk. Previous Above the noise: Incoming recession in the US...or not?

Allergic to Alcohol?
Every time my DH drinks, whether it's a glass of wine or a couple of beers, he breaks out in hives. Not all over just on his wrists and arms. He also tends to feel terrible for the next few days? I'm positive he's got some kind of allergy to alcohol, but haven't really heard of before. Does anyone else have this problem or know someone who does? He has quit drinking at all, but sometimes misses a glass of wine with dinner or a beer with the "boys".
I have had this problem for the last couple of years. I had been a somewhat heavy drinker while in college, than all of a sudden after 3-4 years of that I ystarted to get a VERY red face when I drink. However, it is not a consistent red, it is better described as a blotchy, camoflauge sort of redness. Regardless... I have not yet found anyway to kick this. I talked to my doctor, and he said, if you get his when you drink HELLO... DON'T DRINK! But, I don't feel sick or anything just hot in the face, and very embarrassed. Also, my finance is very worried it could be a symptom of a larger problem. From the two doctors I have talked to it is NOT. Very simply, either stop drinking, or deal. I choose to deal.
re: sparkalina
I'm with you, there, sparkalina. Some of the recommendations for those who have rosacea are abstaining from alcohol, hot (spicy) foods, and hot tubs. I'm not willing to give up any of the three! Well, maybe if I start getting the WC Fields nose....
My SIL, however, who doesn't indulge in any of those three and still has fairly severe rosacea, uses a medication originally intended to fight yeast infections as a topical ointment to keep hers under control.
I don't have any problems with alcohol (aside from occasionally drinking too much of it) but my sister gets ridiculous migranes from flavored vodka. She can drink anything else, even regular vodka, but the flavored stuff specifically gives her an instant migrane. We learned this when I was in college, I ordered her a Citron Seven and we had to go home within a half hour of her drinking it. We thought it was a fluke and she tried it again a few weeks later and the same thing happened. Poor girl. :)
I have reactions to alcohol also, I have a few sips and my throat and ear gets itchy and then I start to get a hive on my lip then I start to get itchy all over. I have since stopped drinking, but also crave that drink of nice cold beer that my husband is having with his wings and I do have a sip but that is as far as I take it. Now I have tried the non alcohol beer and I can drink a couple of those ( they have a lower alcohol content). I am not sure of what is causing it and I would love to able to have a drink with the girls without sitting and scratching!
re: Cmd044
I have issues too. I think I may be allergic to the sulfites because I get asthma attacks from smelling wine, but I can't really stomach any alcohol without getting incredibly nauseated. I can have about 1-2 sips and that's it. At this point I'm used to not being able to drink so it doesn't bother me so much anymore.
re: Cmd044
Cmd044 -- It may be an alcohol allergy. They're quite rare, but some people have them. I'm guessing you're allergic to something in beer, and the non-alcohol beer has less of it. That something you react to could be in a hundred things.
The important thing is to see a doctor. An itchy throat today is a closed throat tomorrow. Get tested immediately. Sound harsh? It could save your life.
I saw a program the other day (sorry can't remember if it was the today show, 20/20, discovery health, etc) that talked about a percentage of the general population that has difficulty or cannot properly digest the alcohol or it's by product. It appears to be genetic and the symptoms are red face and even hyper tension and high blood pressure when alcohol is comsumed on an empty stomach. Hopefully, someone else saw the program and will be able to shed more light on this topic.
I'm a social drinker who occasionally deals with 'red face', sometimes extending far enough to 'red chest' -- regardless of what it is that I am drinking: beer, wine, gin, vodka... so I'm pretty sure it's the alcohol I am reacting to, if on occasion, and NOT the various possible ingredients of the actual drink. I am not Asian; like every good German I was raised on beer :-D
I have had sporadic reactions (hives or reddening of the face) to alcohol. The first time I can recall, it was champagne (hives). A few months ago with wine at a tasting my face reddened but I couldn't tell if it was from white or red wine. I tasted the white wine a few days later and had another reaction.
I was wine tasting last week in Napa and had champagne first (Gloria Ferrar) and did feel my face redden and turn warm, but no hives. We went to Coppola next, then Opus One and I didn't have any other reaction.
I've never had a reaction severe enough to consider getting tested, or carrying an epi pen. The effect seems to dissipate after a few minutes.
re: elgordoboy
From my experience if you are having reactions from beer and hard liquor such as whisky, scotch, cheaper vodkas and gin, it could be allergies caused from grains. (and yes gin is made from white grains and flavored with juniperberries). If you suspect it is grain, check out the vodkas made from potatoes. I am seeing a growing selection of potato vodkas and even vodka made from grapes (Ciroc).
I have chronic hives. The kind that are bumps under the skin - not the red, raised welts. Alchohol is known to aggravate hives. It may be that other foods or chemicals can bring them out too. I would recommend that he go to an allergist.

re: Miss Needle
Thank you for the suggestions. Are you referring to herbs? Accupuncture? Energy work? I am open to whatever works!! Stress and food are probably my biggest issues. I asked the allergist about alternative medicines, herbs, etc and she said she personally had no idea. But I will investigate. I have found that modifying what I eat has really helped. Berries, tomatos, tomato sauce, and citrus fruits are all out, and wine is cut back to just a splash now and then.
re: Bite Me
I was indeed referring to acupuncture and herbs. Energy work (reiki) may help as well, though I'm not as familiar with it. Most allergists/MDs don't know too much about complementary medicine, even the ones who are certified MD-acupuncturists as their training in this field is minimal at best. I was giving an acupuncture treatment to a friend of mine who is an allergist/immunologist with the NIH for her urticaria. It disappeared in about 15-20 minutes. Her usual course of treatment was Benadryl which would take a longer time to work (with sleepy side effects). She was shocked at the efficacy and mentioned this to her colleagues at the NIH, hoping to get them to conduct more well-designed trials in this field.
I'm sure you'll find somebody that you can work with in LA who will also understand your food issues. From what you tell me with your food aversions, I see a common element with the sour taste (which generally signifies Liver (meridian, not organ) issues). Good luck to you.
I have a friend who thinks she is allergic to alcohol. When she drinks it, she gets hives and becomes ill almost instantly. We just thought she was a lightweight and that her excema was acting up, but it would happen after a couple of sips.
Thinking about it, though, she's eaten food that contains wine and had no reaction. (Cheese fondue, pasta with white wine in sauce and her father cooks with rice wine.) So I don't think it's the other ingredients for her. It's the alcohol itself.
He is not alone. My neck becomes extremely red & warm, depending on what I have had to drink.I only feel bad if I drink too much though.
I agree with maria lorraine, anaphylactic shock could ruin your night out he should speak to his Dr.-
re: louweezy
Thanks for your comments. Though your "neck becomes extremely red & warm," this is not an allergic reaction. Usually flushing or reddening, often of the face and chest, is caused by the too-quick conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde. This happens in persons who drink alcohol infrequently. Another possibility is the very common hypertensive reaction to the tyramines in wine. Much more about this on the wine board if you'd care to search the terms.
Here's one thread that's good and that goes into the specifics of "allergies" regarding alcohol:
re: maria lorraine
i get a similar reaction that is affectionately called "asian glow" (i'm filipino). many people of asian descent get the same thing. after some reading some forums about it on the internet, there seems to be a consensus that Pepcid AC helps tremendously. i have no idea why it works, but i've tried it and it really works great. very little to no redness in my face and chest when drinking. thankfully i found out about it before my wedding so i didn't have to worry looking like a tomato in all the pictures.
re: Miss Needle
Glad to hear it!
The enzyme is dehydrogenase, and half of Asians have a genetic variation of this enzyme that causes them to metabolize alcohol too quickly into acetaldehyde -- which causes the redness and flushing as it builds up in the body. But there's a step two that makes the acetaldehyde (and the redness and flushing) hang around longer. The variant enzyme also causes the too-slow metabolism of acetaldehyde into the benign acetic acid. So alcohol metabolism by folks with that variant enzyme is both too fast -- in its conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde -- and too slow -- in its conversion of acetaldehyde into acetic acid.
But I've heard from a number of Asian wine-drinking friends that after they drank a very small amount of alcohol (a few sips of wine or beer) regularly, their bodies somehow learned to metabolize alcohol normally, with no redness or flushing. Of course, this is anecdotal info and not scientifically valid. But it's curious.
re: Miss Needle
Totally correct, Miss Needle! People metabolize ethanol via two pathways, the major pathway is via the alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases (two enzymes) that convert alcohol to acetaldehyde and acetaldehyde to acetic acid. Many Asians have 1 or 2 non functional aldehyde dehydrogenase genes, which leads to the accumulation of acetaldehyde. The acetaldehyde is thought to lead to flushing and nausea partially through histamine mediated pathways, which is why benadryl and zantac or pepcid (all antihistamine drugs) may help some people with the flushing.
The other minor pathway to metabolize ethanol is via the Cytochrome P450 2E1 enzyme in the liver, which is inducible, which means that if you consume ethanol regularly, your body will start to produce more enzyme to metabolize the ethanol. This is one of the reasons why chronic alcohol consumers build up a tolerance to the effects!
Yay for science!
Have him see an allergist. He may not be allergic to ethyl alcohol, but to something that's in the beverage, like malt (for beer), or one of the fining agents for wine, or something else.
But it's important for him to be checked out: today's hives can be tomorrow's throat closing.-
re: Miss Needle
An allergy to alcohol is very uncommon. The basic thing to remember is that an allergy is a reaction to a protein, and you don't find much of that in alcohol. Most likely, there's a substance IN the beer or wine to which jcattles's husband is allergic: wheat, corn, yeast, hops, barley, and the egg or seafood proteins that are used to "fine" [filter] and clarify wine.
But allergies can mature, so to speak, and the severity of reactions increase.
Best to get to a doctor before an emergency forces you to one.-
re: maria lorraine
"...allergy is a reaction to a protein,.." - Allergies are not a reaction to a protein but to allergens and subsequent excessive activiation mast cells and basophils by IgE which will give the inflammatory response everybody experiences when having an allergic reaction. You can have an allergic reaction against penicilin (and many other non-protein subsances) which is beta-lactam antibiotics and not a protein.
In addition, the human produces about an once of alcohol anyway (endogenous ethanol production), so that it is very unlikely that anybody is allergic against alcohol.
re: maria lorraine
Sulfites in wine are a problem for many people. www.naet.com is a form of allergy treatment that involves acupuncture and might help determine what in particular the individual is allergic to.
re: lgss
I'm sorry, you're incorrect about sulfites. Lots of new research says sulfites are not the cause of any wine reaction, unless you already suffer from asthma or have the rare sulfite oxidase deficiency. Lots more info on CH if you do a search.
Though I have no doubt that acupuncture can help with allergies, my feeling is that it is a treatment to be employed AFTER an exact diagnosis by an allergist.
Best, M.
