I offer this perspective as a former Muslim, myself. If the Bible is inspired by God, and He chose to specifically describe Himself and His tri-unity in terms of "Father", "Son", and "Son of God," , far be it from us to change them to make the Gospel more palatable to Muslims. Such terms were equally offensive and problematic for Jews in the 1st Century were they not? And yet Jesus used them anyway and God inspired His apostles to do so. And still there was explosive church growth amidst the Jews in the 1st Century. Why should Muslims of today be any different? Indeed, the very fact that God is Jesus' Father, Jesus is God the Son, and God can be called our Father is what is so attractive about the Gospel. To even flirt with changing, let alone removing, such language does violence to the text and will have precisely the opposite effect than what is intended. Muslims will not see the beauty of the Godhead and they will be reinforced in their long-standing, but incorrect belief that Christians are at liberty to tamper with God's revelation to suit their needs. God forbid that it should ever be so.

Note: In April 2013, Wycliffe/SIL announced it would "implement the guidelines" developed by the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), including its recommendation to use the most direct familial terms for God. That sounds promising--but Wycliffe/SIL has yet to say what this means in practice. Will translators continue to insist that "familial" can include terms like "guardian" or "representative"? Will Wycliffe/SIL admit to any past mistakes in translation, as a sign that correction is needed? Thus, until these agencies show they are committed to retaining "Father" and "Son" in the text of the Bible, this petition will remain open. For Biblical Missiology's full statement on the WEA report, please link here.
Western missions agencies Wycliffe, Frontiers and SIL are producing Bibles that remove Father, Son and Son of God because these terms are offensive to Muslims.
Some examples documented in our Fact Check:
• Wycliffe/SIL produced Stories of the Prophets, an Arabic Bible that uses "Lord" instead of "Father" and "Messiah" instead of "Son."
• Frontiers worked with an SIL consultant to produce True Meaning of the Gospel of Christ, an Arabic translation which removes "Father" in reference to God, and removes or redefines "Son," e.g. the Great Commission in Mt 28:19 reads, "Cleanse them by water in the name of God, his Messiah and his Holy Spirit."
• Frontiers produced a Turkish translation of Matthew, distributed by SIL, that uses "guardian" for "Father" and "representative" or "proxy" for "Son."
• SIL consulted on the Bengali Injil Sharif, which translated "Son" as "Messiah" and "Son of God" as "God's Uniquely Intimate Beloved Chosen One."
By replacing or removing "Father" or "Son" from the text of Scripture, these translations fail to portray God as who he is: the familial, eternal, loving God the Father, Son and Spirit. The deity of Jesus is obscured, and thus the self-sacrifice of God on our behalf. In June 2011, the Presbyterian Church in America explicitly declared such translations as "unfaithful to God's revealed Word" because they "compromise the doctrines of the Trinity, Scripture, and the person and work of Jesus."
Perhaps most importantly, national Christians say these translations are harming their work, even producing a short video expressing their concerns. Yet Western proponents condone removing Father or Son because they say Muslims can only see sexual connotations to these terms. Numerous missionaries and national believers, however, strongly assert this is not the case. Further, church leaders in places like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Turkey, and Malaysia have called for an end to these translations, but to no avail.
Adding fuel to the fire, these agencies have raised millions of dollars for these projects, yet donors are unaware their gifts are being used for translations that remove Father, Son and Son of God from the text.
A member of the SIL board indicated that while "a few objections" over these translations would be "dismissable," SIL would need to respond when the "man in the pew" created a "backlash." By signing this petition, you are letting these agencies know that your convictions, and the integrity of God's own Word, can't be dismissed. Instead, you are asking for a written commitment from Wycliffe, Frontiers and SIL not to remove Father, Son or Son of God from the text of Scripture.
For a thorough explanation of our concerns, including documentation offered in response to Wycliffe's comments about the petition, please read "Lost In Translation Fact Check." For brief answers to common questions, including responses to agency denials, please see the Petition FAQs. And for general information, please visit Biblical Missiology, as well as the "Petition Updates" section for articles and resources, including the new book, Chrislam.
Join us in this prayer:
O God, our heavenly Father,
May the witness that You have given us eternal life in Your Son, prevail in the hearts and minds of Your servants.
May the work of translating Your Word go forth to reach the unreached masses.
Endow those who are mistranslating Your Word, with grace that leads them to repentance.
Give the Church, Your body the unity of the Spirit, and the bond of peace under the headship of Christ.
May we all persevere in serving the gospel without shrinking back or shying away from the Truth.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, the Son of the Living God.

I've been in Turkey for 27 years and I don't know any Turkish pastor or believer that likes this translation. On the contrary, I'm also a pastor, and I can say that I know every pastor and everyone I know are upset with this translation. . . rather than changing the meaning of the Biblical terms and give reason to those Muslims who accuse Christians of adulterating the Scriptures, why not simply put a footnote to clarify that "Father" does not refer to a biological father and "Son" does not refer to a biological son? But for me the worst thing in this translation is that this "Matthew" started with a quote of the Koran and that the translation is full of footnotes with quotes of the Koran, as if it was the highest authority to decide what is true and what false.

Deuteronomy 4:2 says, "You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you." Taking away "Father" and "Son" from God's own words changes our understanding of God and his ways. In particular, doing so obscures the eternal Sonship of Jesus and the good news that "the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world" (1 John 4:14).
Further, these translations compromise the essence of the gospel itself: the self-sacrifice of God the Son on our behalf, and the offer of an eternal relationship with God. 1 John 4:15 says, "whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God." How can those in need of the gospel respond to the promises of God, if they don't know him as Father, Son and Spirit?
When faced with obstacles to the gospel as great as any Christians face today, the apostle Paul declared, "We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God" (2 Corinthians 4:2). Translations that remove "Father" and "Son" from the text tamper with God's word. With this petition, I am asking you to explicitly pledge not to produce such translations.
And thus may the truth of God's word continue to be an "open statement" to all in need of the gospel.

Fact Check: Biblical Missiology's Response To Wycliffe
On January 4, 2012, Biblical Missiology sponsored this petition. This petition asks
Wycliffe, Frontiers and SIL to commit in writing to preserve the terms "Father," "Son,"
and "Son of God" in the text of their Bible translations. In response, Wycliffe sent a
document to their staff, as well as to some of the signatories of the petition, rejecting the
assertions of the petition. The following is a response by Biblical Missiology, with input
from current and former staff of these agencies, global pastors, translators, linguists,
missiologists and theologians with significant experience on the issue.

Fikret Böcek from Izmir, Turkey and pastor of The Protestant Church of Smyrna is a graduate of Westminster Seminary, a trained philologist and linguist, and a graduate of Aegean University, He is a highly-qualified translator, and is currently working on 'the essentially literal' Turkish translation of the Hebrew Masoretic Bible.
An Analysis of the 'Turkish' Paraphrased New Testament by Frontiers
Many people have asked about the Turkish scriptures we referenced. The following is a very good and detailed article written by Thomas Cosmades written in 2007. He was born in Turkey. He translated the New Testament from the original Greek into Turkish a number of years ago. He has since passed away to be with the Lord. For more information about him read: http://cosmades.org/

Towards A Faithful Witness: A Response To Wycliffe's Letter To The PCA
In June 2011, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)
approved "A Call To Faithful Witness," an overture that declared as "unfaithful to God's
revealed Word, Insider Movement or any other translations of the Bible that remove from
the text references to God as 'Father' (pater) or Jesus as 'Son' (huios)."
In order to focus on the issue itself, the overture intentionally did not reference any
missions organization. Prior to the Assembly, however, the leadership of Wycliffe/SIL
asked an SIL translator to prepare a response, called "Considering Overture 9." The link below includes Wycliffe's complete comments, along with a response by the lead author of the overture.
Chrislam: How Missionaries Are Promoting An Islamized Gospel
Are there missionaries who promote converts from Islam remaining in Islam? Is Islam the primary identity for a new believer and how does this identity interface with a believer's new life in Christ? Which rituals of Islam may be given new meaning by converts? This anthology of twenty-five essays approaches the various questions of the "Insider Movements" (IM) that are being raised within the mission community. Offering not only a critique of the problematic issues of Insider Movements and its proponents, Chrislam also provides a necessary corrective in the areas of theology, exegesis, translation, missiology and a theology of religions. The authors include converts from Islam, practicing missionaries, pastors, missiologists, Bible translators, professors of Islamic studies, biblical studies, and systematic theology. This multi-faceted approach to a serious problem in missions is a much needed manual for the church as she thinks through the ramifications of supporting IM.

I have a PhD in Islamic Studies and 10 years of field experience in South Asia, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, Urdu and Baluchi. I have been debating this point with SIL personnel since the early 1990s but have found them reluctant to take the advice of anyone outside of the SIL circle. I believe that removing Son of God is is a serious mistake of the worst kind and damages gospel witness among Muslims. I have read the articles of Rick Brown and do not find them convincing biblically, theologically or (especially) with regard to the Muslim context. Is there any way to get SIL to listen?REPORT THIS COMMENT:

I am a Wycliffe member, working in software development under SIL. Spurred by the PCA's stand (which has already affected my support base), I am now considering the end of my 26-year Wycliffe career over this issue. Years of intense internal protest by many support workers as well as translator/linguists over this issue has made no difference, except to disturb the ministries of many Wycliffe good people. It appears that only external pressure, resignations and the cutting of financial support *might* stop this trend. It's time for the "man in the pew" to do what only he can.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Weather disasters evidence of global warming?
- 3:44 pm Monday, May 16th, 2011 by Opinion Staff
The Mississippi River valley is so inundated that the Army Corps of Engineers has had to open floodgates that will flood whole regions in order to save New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
Vicious twisters slashed through the South, killing people in Alabama, Arkansas and North Carolina.
Colombia is experiencing record floods, and there have been weather-related disasters across the globe.
Locally, we're having one of the worst droughts on record.
Are all these weather extremes evidence of global warming? The NPR program "Science Friday" recently touched on that topic. Here's part of host Ira Flatow's discussion with climate scientist Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute in Oakland, California.
Flood waters recede, lawsuits on the rise
- 1:00 am Monday, November 23rd, 2009 by Opinion Staff
A federal judge in New Orleans has ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers has to pay six plaintiffs about $720,000 for failing to protect their homes and businesses from flooding during Katrina.
If the judge's ruling survives an expected appeal, it could produce another flood — this time of lawsuits that could cost billions of dollars.
The issue is of interest in Florida, which not only has hurricanes, it also has the Army Corps of Engineers in charge of flood-control projects, such as the repair job on the Herbert Hoover Dike around Lake Okeechobee. That dike has [More]

Amateur brushers banned from using Oral B Pro-Expert toothpaste
People with amateur teeth have been banned from buying or using Oral B Pro-Expert toothpaste under new dental healthcare guidelines. Similarly, only those who use their teeth professionally and have a licence to prove it will be able to obtain Colgate sensitive Pro-relief over the counter. And 'Pro'-rated toothbrushes, both electric and manual, will also now only be available to those who can smile suitably whitely at newly installed till-top electronic teeth recognition scanners.
'Pro means professional,' said Mick Smythe of the Professional Toothowners Federation, whose own teeth dabbled in the lower divisions for many years before finally turning pro in March 2003. 'Expert means 'knowing what you're doing', and to put these products into the hands of people without formal training in professional dentifrices might only lead to unforeseen consequences, unrequited love and, in many cases, shattered dreams.'
Amateur tooth-owner Jeremy Smythers agrees. He told a dental hygiene conference; 'I for one wouldn't know where to start with a tube of pro-toothpaste. Which end of the tube to squeeze, for example? What about lid control, which I understand takes two years of intensive study to fully master? And what does all that small print mean? Only people who have sat down and studied every aspect of dental science can truly understand the complex formulae of a properly pro-expert toothpaste. The consequences of inappropriate use? Well, it doesn't bear thinking about.'
Jenny Schmidt took three years under close supervision before she could go solo with a Colgate Pro Clinica C200 electric toothbrush. 'It carries responsibilities,' she said, 'The C200 is powerful and complicated beast, and yes I get a buzz out of using it, but it would all have been futile if it weren't for the intensive training I had to be able to properly squirt a bit of paste on this amazing brush and whizz it round my gob. I didn't have a clue what I was doing before, so thank goodness for all that pro-training from the Colgate people!'
Colgate and Oral-B, while dismissing accusations of elitism, have responded with the introduction of a new all-inclusive dental hygiene regime for the masses, branded as 'au-Naturel' which is essentially a twig packaged up beautifully in designer plastic with a sympathetically associated tub of bicarbonate of Soda, all priced at £19.99, available in all good stores and absolutely ideal for an amateur-toothed loved one this Christmas.Click to send this story to a friend

Lockheed Martin Delivers Key Hardware for U.S. Navy's Mobile User Objective System10/13/08 - Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) announced today the successful delivery of the core structure with an integrated propulsion subsystem for the first satellite in the U.S. Navy's Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) constellation. It is the largest A2100 spacecraft core structure ever built by the company.
MUOS will provide significantly improved and assured communications for U.S. mobile warfighters. The Lockheed Martin design features third generation (3G) mobile technology that will deliver simultaneous voice and data services, as well as the ability to increase capacity and features over the life of the program.
Users of the current Ultra High Frequency Follow-On system will have improved service and complete interoperability with the MUOS legacy payload which ensures a smooth transition to the next generation of 3G mobile user equipment.
Developed and tested at Lockheed Martin's Mississippi Space & Technology Center, an advanced propulsion, thermal, and metrology facility located at the John C. Stennis Space Center, the propulsion subsystem is essential for maneuvering the MUOS satellite during transfer orbit to its final location as well as conducting on-orbit repositioning maneuvers throughout its mission life.
"Our entire team is focused on ensuring this critical tactical military communications system is deployed quickly and successfully for our customer," said Paul Scearce, Lockheed Martin's MUOS vice president. "Delivery of the first MUOS core structure, which represents the backbone of the MUOS satellite, is a major milestone and we look forward to our continued progress as we enter the integration phase of this vitally important system."
The system was delivered to Lockheed Martin's facilities in Sunnyvale, Calif., in preparation for spacecraft assembly, integration and test scheduled to begin later this year. MUOS satellites will be the largest of Lockheed Martin's flight-proven A2100 spacecraft series ever produced. The first MUOS satellite along with the associated ground system are scheduled for on-orbit hand-over to the Navy in 2010.
The Lockheed Martin-led team, which includes General Dynamics C4 Systems, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Boeing Satellite Systems (BSS), El Segundo, Calif., is under contract to design, build and deploy the first two MUOS satellites and the associated MUOS ground system.
The Navy's Program Executive Office for Space Systems, Chantilly, Va., and its Communications Satellite Program Office, San Diego, Calif., are responsible for the MUOS program. The contract also provides for options on three additional spacecraft.

L.A. Scene June 2010: NewNowNext Awards and Los Angeles Pride
L.A. Pride
On Friday, while the dykes marched, I wandered around BevMo. I understand there were parties at HERE Lounge which bookended the event. There was also the usual Friday night at Girl Bar which was unusually crowded. Most if not all of the Real L Word cast showed up — yes, including Tracy. The march itself included Dykes on Bikes, a marching band, people promoting various films, and a few unaffiliated lesbians.
My girlfriend's birthday had the nerve to coincide with Pride this year. We decided to have a giant party on Saturday night with the idea being that people would be in town. We also figured folks would go away at a reasonable hour so they could rest up for the next day. (Saturday is sort of the off-night for lesbians on Pride weekend, sandwiched between Friday's Dyke March and Sunday's parade/day of drunkenness.)
Saturday I spent the day leaf blowing my yard every hour in preparation for the party. I missed a number of performances at the festival, including Kelis, En Vogue, Martha Davis and The Motels and Kelly Rowland. I hear En Vogue was particularly excellent.
Nobody left at a reasonable hour. I made it to bed at 4 a.m. I got up around 9:00 to eat some cheesecake, then passed out again. I awoke around 11:00 to the sound of my cat overturning a giant glass vase of party flowers.
So while I was home picking shards of glass out of an area rug, the parade wound its way along Santa Monica Blvd. Sharon and Kelly Osbourne were the Grand Marshals. Grand they are, but seriously, why is the Grand Marshal never gay? I was sorry to miss the parade. I always love the PFLAG parents best. Also, people hand out useless but free things and who doesn't love a gift?
I managed to get my act together and make it to Haute by mid-afternoon. Co-promoted by Girl Bar and Fuse (shocking!), this was the big lesbian party of the day. Haute is across the street from the Abbey in the space briefly occupied by Apple. A number of anticipatory rescue vehicles were parked between the two establishments. Always a good sign.
Haute was teeming with women to the point where we could only walk sideways. I wear sneakers in public only on Pride and therefore, managed to keep my balance. The Girl Bar dancers writhed in the sunlight and one poured shots down her body which crouching patrons lapped up. There is no way that is sanitary.
Ilene Chaiken appeared, having just introduced Real L Word cast members Mikey, Rose and Whitney at the Festival. There are conflicting reports about whether they were also at Haute. I heard Ilene had to pay the cover charge. I guess they wanted her to have a "real" lesbian experience. I got in for free.

ISO Best price LE CREUSET COOKWARE
- f
- Fleur Jun 22, 2006 05:42 AM
I am looking to buy some LE CREUSET COOKWARE in Flame. I need some suggestions as to where to find the best prices.
re: jackiee
Marshall's used to have LC dutch ovens regularly. I got a huge one (I think it's 9 qt) for under $100. It's one of those LC "seconds," meaning there's a defect, but all I could find was a tiny scratch on the bottom side of it.
But long story short, I haven't seen any LC products at Marshall's other than casseroles and pie plates for at least two years. Very sad, but if others spy them do post so I can go searching my area Marshall's too!
I second ebay, but you have to be patient. Set up a search for what you're looking for. You'll get an email everytime new items come up for auction.
I've bought 2 pieces for less than $100 each so far (a 5.5-qt and a 9-qt...both round Dutch ovens). Flame seems to be the most popular color and the prices on those pieces aren't as low...but keep looking!
re: wyf4lyf
you can look for descoware too (belgian company purchased by le creuset a while back) on ebay - vintage pieces in retro colors like flame and harvest gold at very reasonable prices.
The Le Creuset outlet stores will be having their storewide sale from June 30 to July 9. I just received my "preferred customer" coupon good for 30% off all purchases over $75. I think that the discount for non-preferred customers may be less, but call your local outlet store for details -- I think (but I'm not sure) that if you ask to be put on the mailing list, you become a preferred customer. Note that the discount is also on seconds -- a really great deal! I've gotten a few cosmetic seconds and after a few months I now can't tell the difference between them and the firsts that I own. Oh, and orders for $350 or more ship free. Here's a link to a store locator:
re: Nancy Berry
Thanks so much for the heads up!! We have an outlet nearby and will checking it out this weekend! :)
re: AppleSister
My 5 qt yellow oval from Caplan Duval ended up costing about $125 with shipping charges, so these are nice prices. I've seen these for under a hundred bucks at Marshall's, but it's strictly catch as catch can.
re: yayadave
I also bought mine (7 quart)from Caplan Duval. I don't remember how much it ended up costing, but it was significantly cheaper than anywhere else I'd seen (even with shipping costs, if there were any) and it came within like TWO days! Near-instant gratification.
If you do happen to find "seconds" at a discount store, most of the time the defects are miniscule and entirely cosmetic.
Once I did buy a shallow covered paella-style pan, and the lid was taped to the pan. When I got it home, there was an huge gash in the enamel, across the entire surface of the pan.
Sent it back to Le Creusset, and they replaced it, no questions asked (except for what color I'd prefer).
This may be too late for you, but I just wanted to mention that I just bought my very first Le Creuset French oven online at Cutlery and More. I got the 7.25 qt. round in flame as well as a bonus grill pan for $199.95 total. No tax and free shipping. Here's the page w/ the clearance special: http://www.cutleryandmore.com/lecreus...
I've bought a couple things from this site before and have found them to be very speedy and reliable. I've seen the price a little lower on other sites in the past, but I was so itching to get one that I think this is a pretty good deal. The grill pan is quite small and kind of a joke since it could cook one large or 2 small steaks, but at least it matches. :-)
First thing I made was chicken riesling from the Balthazar book since that's one of the shorter braises and lighter dishes for the summer heat: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/...
Anyone interested in the recipe should search home cooking for "chicken riesling" or post a query there.
The pan worked beautifully (and looked beautiful), but I think it will get even better w/ continued use. Can't wait! Cleaned up in a snap.
re: Carb Lover
Congrats on your purchase!! That same exact set was my first purchase as well! I adore it and have sense grown the 'family' (My latest aquisition was a Saucier and Butter dish from the LC Outlet sale! ;))
I have to stick up for the grill pan though, I ADORE mine. Yes, it is small, but is really the best grill pan I've had (I've tried several and chucked them all once I saw how great this one was!). Like all LC Stuff, it just get SO Hot and has great non-stick properties. The marks and flavor from these marks are great, so much so, some folks in the past have thought the chicken and burgers have come off the BBQ grill (You can see an example of my grilled chicken the Boozy Cheese photo:
In fact, I use it so much, it's almost ALWAYS on my stove (Especially since I'm prone to cooking up a whole batch of chicken for Salads and easy snacking for the week...) and it recently did an amazing job making Paninis!! (Done the old Italian Way, with a cast iron skillet as the 'press... LOL! :))
Anyway, I know you will love your dutch oven, but if given a chance, you will love your grill pan too! :)
re: Dommy
Thanks for defending the "little guy", Dommy! I guess its attributes got overshadowed by the big, heavy round oven. I'm truly excited to try it now. I think I'll start w/ panini or a nice juicy ribeye steak. Can't wait to see how it compares to my Calphalon grill pan.
Approx. how long do you pre-heat the pan for? I'm still getting acquainted w/ how these things respond to heat.
re: Carb Lover
I turn it on a few minutes before I start to grill.
Basically, I turn it on right before I take out the thawed chicken from the fridge and spice it (I recently got the lemon pepper grinder from TJs and it's excellent for spicing chicken! :)). Then I just wave my hand over it and when I feel the heat, I slap down my chicken. It does heat up pretty fast. :)

Tied Together With A Smile
I am obsessed with Tied Together With A Smile right now! Such a beautiful song x Anyone else love this song? I've learnt it on the piano and I can't stop singing it! It's also so sad though, and has such a deep meaning.
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror
Looking back at you
You come around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true
Cause I know you
Makes me cry every time x

I have attended a number of these seminars and can recommend them. They are not time consuming and there are always good things to pick up and learn. Very often they have motivational speakers and we all need some of that from time to time!

My only concern about these 'seminars' is that they are dominated by the same cosy little club of presenters. The ISMM recently asked for additional presenters to take part in these events and I volunteered my services.
Whilst there is clearly a need to maintain a high standard of quality, I was asked to provide a video or DVD of my most recent public presentation for review/consideration. I explained that I often pitch, present and run training sessions for large groups of senior managers but have never had any of these 'performances' recorded. I doubt I am unusual in that regard, so how does the ISMM plan to widen the gene pool of its presenters and subjects if all they can accept are 'showmen'.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
There's a transformation underway in the natural retailing community. After decades of strong leadership, many pioneering retailers are scaling back their duties or passing the reins of their stores to the next generation of retailers—some family members, others young entrepreneurs. At the same time, we're seeing stores grow from the ground up under the guidance of young owners who are new to natural or retailing or both.
If any consumer today feels that food is not a means of improving their lives, they are in a distinct minority. Data from the Natural Marketing Institute indicate nearly four out of five people believe "healthy foods and beverages can be used to increase the quality of their lives" (1). This explains the current zeal for what functional foods, from nutritious greens to probiotic-infused cookies, have to offer.
Here, grab a glimpse of who is buying functional foods, what they're buying, and how they're learning about their options.
Organic Müesli and Cinnamon Organic Müesli from EDEN Foods are made with three organic whole grains (oats, rye and spelt wheat) and mixed with 100% organic dried fruit and seeds. Raisins, dried wild blueberries and dried cranberries add flavor and antioxidants. Pumpkin and raw sunflower seeds lend crunch and nutrition. Both varieties are very low in sodium and rich in magnesium.

Health Beat: iPhones for ear infections
Updated On: Jun 18 2013 04:41:39 PM CDT
Three out of four children will experience an ear infection by the age of three, but soon, diagnosing the common problem may not require a trip to the doctor's office.
You use your phone to talk, text, play games, but could it tell you if your child is sick?
14-month-old Harper Barrett has an ear infection.
"She just got her second one," said Megan Barrett, Harper's mother.
It's one of the most common reasons kids see their pediatricians, but Barrett said it's hard to know when an earache merits a trip to the doctor.
"If you take her, and she doesn't have an ear infection, then it's a waste of time and money," Barrett said.
A new product may be the answer parents like Barrett have been waiting for: an iPhone otoscope.
The instrument slides right onto the phone. It contains fiber optic cables that connect with the phone's light, along with a small magnifying glass. To use it, open the app, push a button, put it up to the ear and record a video clip.
The idea is parents take pictures and video at home, and then send it to their doctor, who will tell them if they need to come in. In a clinical trial, researchers found images captured with the iPhone are at least as good as those captured with the standard instrument.
"We are looking to see if the images we can get from this device are of diagnostic quality," said Kathryn Rappaport, a medical student at the Emory University School of Medicine.
Pediatrician Andi Shane, assistant professor at the Emory University School of Medicine, said the new technology is more advanced.
"The only thing that a conventional otoscope is providing is a light source," said pediatrician Andi Shane, adding that the device could save time, money and maybe even reduce the use of antibiotics.
Barrett would love to give it a try.
"Just to be able to check it out myself and be able to send it to the doctor, it would be amazing," she said.
Researchers finished the initial clinical trial in February and are currently working on publishing the results. The company that makes the device is planning to launch it this coming fall. It will likely cost between $99 and $199.

We're going to be having our monthly meeting for March at Freehouse Brewery! Mark you calendars and clear your schedules!
I had the opportunity to visit Freehouse this past Saturday and let me tell you, this place is a secret little gem! It's a secluded brewhaus with a nice deck, a heck of view of the Ashley River, and a variety of organic session beers on tap. My kind of place. I met one of their proprietors, and he invited us to come out and hang, and so … we will!
Come prepared to talk shop though. We're going to organize and plan. Bring your ideas and be ready to volunteer! We are going to have a full agenda for this meeting.
Bring your empty growlers.
Check that.
Bring your growlers full of home brew, and we'll empty them there! Then you can fill them back up with Freehouse beer!
Everyone is going to want to be at this meeting if possible. The club has adopted a new pet project, and we're thinking BIG! Have you ever wanted to own your very own brewery? If the answer is YES! then come meet with us. We're forming an exploratory committee whose objective is to do just that! Details forthcoming …

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - The Seneca Nation of Indians will withhold future revenue-sharing payments to New York State from its three Western New York casinos, Tribal Council members voted on Monday.
J.C. Seneca, co-chair of the Tribal Council, claims the state has violated the terms of the 2001 Gaming Compact between the tribe and the state.
"[The state] has authorized casino-like operations in Hamburg, Batavia and the Finger Lakes," in violation of the compact's exclusivity agreement, Seneca said.
"The action the Council took tonight reflects our concern over several activities that seem to mirror our Class III facilities," he added in a statement.
When asked if the timing of the Council's decision has anything to do with Albany's efforts to collect sales tax on cigarettes sold by Indian retailers to non-Natives, Seneca said, " Timing is everything."
The Council's decision to withhold the state's share of slot machine revenue comes just hours after a judge declined to block the state from collecting the cigarette sales tax beginning September 1.
"The days are certainly running out," Seneca told Eyewitness News earlier on Monday.
The Seneca Nation has another chance to block the state from collecting the tax when a federal ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Arcara is released on Tuesday.

Movpak fits an EV into a backpack
Gizmag has covered several potential solutions to "last-mile transportation" that aim to help people get from, say, the train station to the office, or the bus stop to home. The latest such transportation device to come to our attention is the Movpak: an electric skateboard-like EV that fits into a backpack, and still leaves some room for carrying stuff. Read More
Those wanting something a little different from their footwear now have another option in the form of Pikkpack: a leather shoe that's delivered in flatpack form and requires minor assembly on the part of the purchaser.

Some of the most interesting homes we've covered were conceived due to constraints in size, budget, or location. That said, there's generally more to work with than 2.5 meters (8 ft, or 99 inches) in width, as was the case with what's thought to be London's narrowest house. It recently hit the market and is expected to fetch at least £450,000 (US$757,000). Read More
The Salsa Box, by Portland, Oregon-based Shelter Wise, offers yet another take on very small-scale living. Completed earlier this year, and available to purchase from US$22,500, this particular tiny house stands out from the growing crowd with a build quality and interior layout that makes living in a 9 sq m (96 sq ft) space seem not only technically possible, but perhaps even appealing.

Native American tribes long used the wigwam as a semi-permanent shelter, and similar dome-shaped huts consisting of a simple framework covered in material serve as home for some African nomadic peoples even today. It makes sense then, that Antony Gibbon drew upon the enduring wigwam for inspiration while designing the Nook: a modern sustainable retreat that can be installed in difficult terrains, and can even float on water.

Hey New York (Taken with Instagram)
I'm sitting with friends in a rock n roll basement bar I frequent when this guy sits down and starts talking to me. I don't know what to say to him so I decide to tell him about the time I accidentally climbed a mountain in 5" heels and a mink coat.
"So I didn't realize they were serious and we'd actually be climbing a real mountain but there I was 7 hours later at the top."
I notice him not giving fuck so I add
"and then I found $20!"
"What?? No way seriously??? That's awesome!"
Works every time.

MONDAY, Dec. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Children of parents who
survived childhood cancer are unlikely to suffer from birth
defects, finds a new study that should allay some concerns about
long-term effects of treatment.
It appears that DNA damage done by chemotherapy and radiation of
the reproductive organs doesn't increase the risk that children
will inherit those damaged genes, researchers say.
"We found that DNA damage from radiation and chemotherapy with alkylating agents are not associated with the risk of genetic birth defects in the offspring," said lead researcher Lisa Signorello, an associate professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
"This is really reassuring," she said. "This is one less thing for childhood cancer survivors to worry about." The prevalence of birth defects among the children of cancer survivors is similar to that of the general population, added Signorello, who's also a senior epidemiologist at the International Epidemiology Institute in Rockville, Md.
While life-saving in many cases, radiotherapy and chemotherapy
with alkylating agents, such as busulfan, cyclophosphamide and
dacarbazine, can damage DNA.
Signorello noted that childhood cancer survivors have a higher
rate of infertility and a greater risk of having miscarriage,
preterm birth and low birth-weight infants.
Although cancer treatment can cause DNA damage to the sperm and
eggs, "it may be that these damages get filtered out," she
Genetic-based birth defects are rare, accounting for about 3
percent of births. Although earlier research found little or no
increased risk for birth defects among the children of cancer
survivors, the studies were small in size and lacked detailed data
about radiation and chemotherapy, such as radiation doses to the
testes and ovaries, the researchers noted.
The report was published in the Dec. 12 issue of the
Journal of Clinical Oncology.
For the study, Signorello and colleagues collected data on more
than 20,000 children who had survived cancer. The data were taken
from the 1970 and 1986 Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Fifty-seven
percent of them had been treated for leukemia or lymphoma.
The researchers also looked at the health of nearly 4,700
children of these survivors.
Of the parents treated for cancer, 63 percent had radiation
therapy and 44 percent of men and 50 percent of women had
Among their children, 2.7 percent had at least one birth defect
such as Down syndrome, achondroplasia (dwarfism), or cleft lip.
Three percent of the mothers exposed to radiation or treated
with alkylating chemotherapy had a child with a genetic birth
defect, compared with 3.5 percent of mothers who survived cancer,
but weren't exposed to these treatments, the researchers found.
Only 1.9 percent of children of the cancer-surviving fathers had
these birth defects, compared with 1.7 percent of children of
fathers who did not have chemotherapy or radiation, they said.
"This is very encouraging, because there has been a worry," said Dr. Michael Katz, senior vice president for research and global programs at the March of Dimes.
Dr. Jeanette Falck Winther, a senior researcher at the Institute
of Cancer Epidemiology at the Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen
and co-author of an accompanying journal editorial, said the study
findings should address some of the reproductive concerns of
childhood cancer survivors, geneticists and pediatric
"Our hope is that this reassuring information will be used by the physicians in counseling childhood cancer survivors who desire and are able to have children," she said.

9 thoughts on "Eye Floaters And Gluten"
Celiac? Sjogren's? Accurate HIV test result?
Here are my symptoms:
*Abdominal cramps/spasms
*Chronic fatigue
*Muscle aches/flu like feelings (intermittent)
*Allergies are worse (stuffy nose, horribly stinging/burning watery red eyes, intermittent)
*Sore feeling tongue (looks slightly yellowish near the back)
*Clothes are looser, but scale says I weigh the same
*Tingling and numbness in fingers, toes, hands, legs, even my scapl sometimes
*Dizzy spells
*Ataxia (slight stumbling, intermittent)
*Chronic heartburn/acid reflux (gurgling in throat, especially after I eat or get stressed out)
*Mucus/fat stuff (steatorrhea like) with diarrhea. Sometimes when I go to the bathroom, it will just be mucus by itself. Sometimes it will float. Sometimes it's bloody
*Hard stools sometimes tend to tear my anus, causing it to bleed.
*Eye fatigue (they always feel tired)
*Exhaustion (after climbing steps or something)
*Shortness of breath
*Hot flashes/chills
*Eye pain (sharp shooting)
*Eye floaters (On 6/1/07, the eye specialist said my eyes were a little inflamed, probably due to allergies. On 2/12/08, the regular eye doctor said my eyes looked fine)
*Watery eyes
*Feels like mucus in the back of my htroat
*Burning & frequent urination (like a uti).
*Painful periods sometimes
*Slight joint pain sometimes
*Stiffness/morning stiffness (off and on)
*Slight nausea after eating sometimes or after being overstressed.
*Rotten egg burps usually an hour or 2 before throwing up. (Has been like this since elementary school)
*A lot of gas, either burping or passing gas through the other end
*Menstrual irregularity (has been like this since I was 11 years old)
*Depression, anxiety (have had these since around 6th grade)
*Potbelly (have always had one). I'm skinny, but I've always had a round belly that sticks out.
*Mouth sores/apthous ulcers (are usually painful and take awhile to heal because of the places they're in)
*Sore throat (probably related to acid reflux). I'm always clearing my throat/slightly hoarse/feels like a lump in it.
*Weakness in arms and legs (feels like cement blocks attached to my legs sometimes)
*Celiac levels were slightly elevated
*WBC count was slightly elevated
*Blood pressure was lower than it usually is. 108 over something.
There's probably more symptoms, But I can't remember them all. I'm not sexually active. I have really bad ocd and have an immense fear of catching any kind of disease, especially HIV. I had an HIV test done in early december because on may 7th, 2007 I had gotten cut at a manicurist's. I got my results on january 17th, 2008. It was negative. I've also had a stool sample and a urine sample done. The stool sample didn't show anything ( I thought I had worms because of these little rice like thing in my stool). It's been about 2 weeks since I had my urine sample done, and people still haven't called me back. In late may of 2007, I had a CT scan done of my head because of the headaches I was getting. They found a 2 millimeter or something in the center of my brain. So on june 18th I had an MRI done of my head. But whatever it was had just disappeared. They believe it was some kind of fatty tissue and the doctors diagnosed me with tension headaches. I put myself under a lot of stress. I do take a lot of OTC medicines. Like tylenol, benadryl, protonix, gaviscon, etc…In late march of 2007, I had to take antibiotics because of an inner ear infection (water in the ear). I'm so sick of people telling me it's all in my head or it's just stress when clearly things are starting to get visible.
Do you think the HIV test result was wrong? I mean,it was after 7 months that I got tested. Don't you think if I had anything it would've shown up by december, if I had gotten cut at the manicurist's in may? IF I do have an autoimmune disease of some kind (like celiac or sjogren's) or something like candida overgrowth, do you think it could've affected my HIV test results and caused a false negative? Or are the tests so sensitive that they only pick up/look for/discover HIV anitbodies and nothing else? What do you think this could all be? I was supposed to have an endoscopy and a colonoscopy done on 3/13 but I canceled because I'm paranoid about catching something from unsterilized tools. I'm going back to the doctor on 4/3/08 for more blood tests, and I am going back to the gastroenterologist on 4/24. I've had about 3 CBC's and they've all been good until december when my WBC count was a little high. I had another cbc done in september and my cholesterol was a little high, but not by much. I've also had my elecrolytes checked and apparently they were fine too because she said everything looked fine except that my WBC was a little high.
Ok, sorry this was so long. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me! Thanks!
With elevated celiac levels and your list of symptoms, you need to go on a gluten free diet and try that for 3-6 months and see how many of those symptoms clear up. The apthous ulcers that are really painful should be one of the first things you will see clear up if you in deed do have celiac disease. Contact a local chapter of http://www.csaceliacs.org and see if they can help you get started.
How old are you? If you have been on a gluten containing diet for a long time then it is possible most of these problems could be due to the cumulative effect of poor nutrition due to malabsorption in the small intestine due to intestinal wall damage caused by celiac disease.
So get on a gluten free diet and try it since you don't want to have an endoscopy due to fear of infection.
Good luck!!!
Do you think this could be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
On 3/19/07, I went to the ER because my ear was acting weird. When we got there, the whole waiting room was filled with people throwing up and coughing. Anyway, about a week later, me and my whole entire family got sick. It was THE most horrible flu/intestinal virus that we've ever gotten. I mean, I was dry heaving. I had nothing to throw up, but yet, I still felt like I had to. Anyway, skip to about 2 months later. It started with heartburn and these weird icepick like headaches. Skip all the way through 2007 and 2008 to now, and I've gotten so many strange symptoms. My doctor did diagnose me with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome on 4/3/08 (which is a genetic connective tissue disorder). I don't see why more symptoms of it would be showing up all of a sudden. This makes me question if that virus caused me to get fibromyalgia or CFS or some kind of dysautonomia or something. Here's some of my symptoms. They're intermittent:
*Headaches (pressure/stabbing sensations)
*Frequent urination (tests showed nothing/was clean)
*Painful periods (stabbing pains in lower abdomen/rectum/can't have a BM sometimes cause of it)
*Muscle aches
*Electric shock sensations
*Fatigue/unrefreshing sleep
*Muscle weakness
*Diarrhea/constipation/stabbing sensations in stomach/cramps
*Eye pain/eye floaters
*Itchy skin
*Hot flashes/chills
*Stinging/burning sensation in genital area/vulvodynia
*No weight loss, but clothes are somewhat looser on me (even when they're new)
*Allergies (eyes, throat, nose). Never had allergies before/feels like they're getting worse
*Sore throat
*Post nasal drip feeling
*Dizziness (always had this/EDS)
*Low blood pressue (always had this/EDS)
*Gastroparesis (didn't have test, but doc thinks I have it. Goes with EDS)
*Tingling sensations (finger, legs, arms, hands, sometimes face/neck)
*Cognitive difficulties (memory, thinking of words, confusion, etc…)
*Shortness of breath
These are most of my symptoms. What really bugs me is that I do have OCD and depression among a few other psychiatric illnesses, and people automatically assume it's all in my head. I've had OCD and Depression since I was little, why all of a sudden would I start imagining these feelings. My family doesn't believe me when I tell them about my symptoms. My mom doesn't even believe I have Ehlers Danlos even though my doctor diagnosed me in front of her.
I've already had a stool sample done, a urinalysis, ANA screen, SED rate (all clean), MRI and CT scan. Had a fatty tissue in brain, but ti went away. My WBC was 10.9 at one time. Had an HIV test done(NEGATIVE!) I am not sexually active or do drugs or anything. AGA levels for celiac were slightly elevated. Thyroid levels were fine.
What do you all think? Sorry this was long.
I am a 20 year old female also.
Dizziness, Brain Fog, Neck Pain?
For the past 3 years i have been suffering from a multitude of debilitating symptoms which have yet been undiagnosed by numerous medical professionals. When i first noticed the problem it hit me almost suddenly, i felt extremely dizzy, felt like i was dehydrated or just needed rest. I woke up the next morning and the dizziness was still there. My symptoms are continually getting worse and i am currently suffering from chronic neck pain, pressure on my forehead and behind the eyes, heightened sensitivity to light, horrible brain fog, headaches, disequilibrium, anxiety / depression (which i never experienced previously), blurry vision, eye floaters, and even trouble speaking. And these are just some of the most troubling symptoms. The easiest way to describe the feeling is an almost constant state of drunkenness. After consulting a number of neurologists, ENT, psychiatrists, and general practitioners, i am at a loss with no definitive answers or treatments. Avoiding wheat / gluten helps my symptoms but only about 30% or so. Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Celiac symptoms?
Hi guys, I'm hoping that someone can give me insight into what I've been feeling lately. Since around late may of last year I've been getting these strange & annoying symptoms. In late march I got an ear infection (I think water in the ear), took some antibiotics, and was ok. Then I started getting tension headaches, indigestion, and then the stomach issues started. At first, I kept having to go to the bathroom after eating. Then sometimes I wouldn't need to go at all after eating. Then I started getting "attacks" of diarrhea (occasional) that was filled with mucus, sometimes it would be bloody. When I'm about to get these attacks, I always feel a gurgling in my rectum. It looks like fat or something, and sometimes it floats on the water. I get indigestion/heartburn everyday. I always get gurgling in my throat, constant burping/passing gas, painful muscles spasms/cramps (intermittent), painful mouth sores (intermittent), dizzy spells (have gotten these since 4th grade), chills, eye pain (sharp/stabbing/ dull ache), eye floaters, in june of 2007 the eye doctor (specialist) said my eyes were a little inflamed, in feb of 2008, the regular eye doctor said my eyes were fine, my clothes are getting looser (but the scale says I weigh the same. I don't lose any weight, I just stay at the same weight), shortness of breath (sometimes turning in bed or climbing stairs causes shortness of breath), rotten egg burps (1 or 2 hours before I'm going to throw up. Had this since elementary school), Fatigue (more so than usual), ataxia (not horrible, but slightly noticeable) I always find me "catching" myself lately, panic attack symptoms (rapid heartbeat, hot flashes, chills, shortness of breath), loss of appetite, other times am starving, I usually feel worse after eating, irritable moods, headaches, tingling in my extremities, uti like symptoms when on period, menstrual irregularity (has been like this since I first got my period at age 11), constipation (hard stools tend to tear my anus), my allergies have been worse (stuffy nose, runny itchy eyes), last time I had my blood pressure checked the assistant said it was a little low (108 over something), my celiac levels were a little elevated, as were my WBC count. I get these weird sensations in my ears like high pitched ringing or fluttering wings or something. I do have ocd an anxiety disorders, but something just doesn't feel right. Everyone just disregards me saying that it's all in my mind, or that it's just IBS. I was supposed to have an endoscopy and a colonoscopy done, But I'm paranoid about catching infectious diseases from unsterilized tools. Do any of you with celiac ever have these symptoms? Or do you think it could all be in my mind? It's just too many things to be all in my mind.
I've just turned 20, and I also experience abdominal cramps/spasms.
Thank you!
And also muscle weakness. When I get that "fat" stuff, it smells worse than usual.
In my opinion, especially with elevated results from a Celiac panel, you are a classic case of a fully symptomatic Celiac. If your blood work came back positive and you are symptomatic, why on earth was further testing not pursed or the gluten free diet started (if you do not want further testing)?
I am willing to bet that the vast majority if not all of your symptoms are caused by untreated Celiac Disease. You may even find that your "anxiety" disorder and "ataxia" are really presentations of Celiac. Do you have joint pain as well?
I would also rule out other bowel disorders like Crohn's and polyps if you are having mucous and bloody stool.
There is always the chance that you don't have Celiac of couse, and this really is simply anxiety.
But I'm willing to bet that you DO have Celiac, and it is causing you major problems. You should not have to live this way when the treatment is as simple as changing what you eat.
Please follow up with your doctor and do not stop until you get the support you need. If your doctor won't help you, find one who will. If you do not care if you have a formal diagnosis, no one can stop you from trying the gluten free diet. While I advise people to be formerly tested, you should not have to suffer either if there is a good chance that you have Celiac and no one seems to want to completely rule it out.
I would also get a full medical exam again. Other autoimmune diseases tend to cluster with Celiac, including autoimmune thryoid disease. Your symptoms may also be related to this, or another co-morbid condition.
Good luck!
Autoimmune Symptoms…?
What are some of the symptoms of autoimmune diseases? I'm hoping someone with personal experience can help me out here. I have so many issues going on, and it all started happening last may. I have horrible allergies, really bad dry eyes, cognitive problems, itchy/dry skin, fatigue, weakness, GI issues, bladder issues, gurgling in throat/acid reflux, hot flashes, chills, ataxia, one time it felt like my vocal cords were paralyzed (like I couldn't talk at all), eye floaters, muscle pain, headaches, etc…My wbc count was a little elevated, my eyes were a little inflamed on 6/1/07, and my celiac levels were a little elevated, My blood pressure also gets kind of low sometimes (the lowest was 98). Then other times it will be through the roof. I noticed heat for some reason makes me feel a little worse. I did just get diagnosed with ehlers danlos syndrome (classical type) and my doc thinks that my EDS could be affecting my central nervous system.
I always used to get vomiting episodes and rotten egg burps ever since I was little (they suspect gastroparesis). I've also gotten dizzy spells ever since I was in 4th grade. One time I had really bad vertigo. Tingling and electric shock sensations as well. Anyway, I'm so tired of people always saying that it's my ocd and anxiety disorders. I wanted to check my ESR and get an ANA screen done, but everyone's like you don't need blood tests and all this other stuff.
So for any of you who have autoimmune diseases, what were some of your symptoms and how long did it take before you were diagnosed? Thanks!
The most active forum for discussing this that I can find is
The immune system seems to be a mystery to doctors. I am so sick of being sick.
Have you tried eliminating gluten and soy? It was a life saver for me. I don't get any immediate symptoms, just a slow decline if I eat it. For me, I'm allergic to milk protein too.
Have you had a colonoscopy with biopsies for lymphocytic colitis?
Heat does kick off 'cytokine storms' and make allergic reactions worse if it raises your core body temp.

I bought this in oatmeal, and it's great, very cute! I wore it with a tank top underneath with shorts, but it's cute with jeans, and will be wearing it as a swimsuit cover-up when I go to the beach this summer :) Love that it's so versatile.
