My hair is very hard to maintain and I've gone through so many different hair styling tools in my life. I have curly hair which doesn't take much for it to look like a mess. I was a little hesitant ordering an infomercial product but based on a lot of the reviews that were online it looked like it seemed pretty legit. It's easy to use and gives my hair lift and works as good ans any straightening iron I've ever used. I can get my hair almost as good as if I stepped out of a hair along. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Perfecter Fusion Styler
Perfecter Fusion Styler is an all-in-one hair styling tool for women that will replace a curling iron, hair dryer, hair straightener and a hair brush.

This is really a great styler. I think this is a tool that any woman would appreciate having at their disposal. I made a mistake and purchased mine at bed bath and beyond when I could have save time and money by just buying it online. It reaches the right temperature for doing my hair at an incredible speed which is perfect when I'm in a rush in the morning. My sister has short hair and really doesn't have any use for it but I have long hair that's really hard to manage especially when it's humid and it works well for me without having to worry about burning my scalp with other hair stylers. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
This is the third time i've purchased a product from As Seen on TV Canada and thought I'd submit a Perfecter Fusion Styler review since they were hard to come by when I decided to purchase the Perfecter Styler. I was debating the Prestige Ionic Styler vs the Perfecter Fusion Styler but decided to go with the latter of the two hair stylers. I ws very happy with how easy it was to flat iron my hair. This styler allows me to easily give it style without minimal effort. I'm very happy with this product. So far I haven't had any issues with it. It's a high quality product. Best of all it's easy to use I can use it with either hand and not worry about burning myself. Whether you have long or short hair you'll love using this product.
I have very fine hair that is just passed my shoulder in length. I was debating whether to purchase the Perfecter Fusion or the Prestige Styler but after reading Perfecter Styler reviews it seemed that this product had a lot more positive reviews posted online. I especially like that this hair styler is easy to work with and gives my thin hair a bit of lift and volume which I need. It takes me less than half the time to style my hair with the Perfecter Styler than it's taken with my other hair styling tools. I wanted to purchase it at the as seen on tv store at the mall but they didn't' carry it so I had to purchase it online. It works great for styling but I wouldn't rely on it to dry your hair like some of the reviews claim. I called the toll free number that was posted on as seen on tv canada and was extremely happy with the delivery time.
I had to submit a perfecter styler review even though I purchased it from Amazon. If you can master using this amazing hair tool you'll get your hair looking it's best. I wanted to buy it after I saw the infomercial since it seemed like a pretty cool styling tool. My hair is very fine and I'm able to both curl and straighten it without worrying about cooking it. I can give myself a complete new look in just 10 minutes. I feel like i'm getting better at using the Perfecter Styler the more I use it. Any woman would love this product.
I bought the perfecter fusion styler through the toll free number provided and it was delivered in only a week which I was very happy about. It easily straightens and curls my hair without having to worry about cooking it. I used a babybliss styler and the instyler in the past and this product works so much better. It's really neat that you can touch the barrel and not have to worry about burning your fingers which I've done before with other hair stylers. This is one hair styler you won't want to pass on.
Amazing results are seen once you learn the proper way to use it. I watched the infomercial and practiced after reading the manual. I am able to straighten my hair, curl my hair or simply add body! My hair is super shiny after using the Perfecter Fusion Styler.
The tool itself is easy to use and heats up quickly. I love that the teeth stay cool and that you don't need to worry about burning yourself. I am extremely impressed with the Perfecter. It is worth the price. I'm so glad I bought it!
I actually purchased the Perfecter from their website after seeing the TV infomercials. Ladies, learn to use this properly!!! Amazing results are seen once you learn the proper way to use it. I have pretty fine, limp, color-treated shoulder length hair. I am able to straighten my hair, curl my hair or simply add body! My hair is super shiny after using the Perfecter. The only thing I can't do is style my hair in 3 minutes like they advertise. I can do my entire head in about 10 minutes though.

Christmas Day Tour: Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds
- Location: Windsor, United Kingdom
- Duration: 11 hours (approx.)
- Christmas Day tour from London to Stonehenge, Bath, the Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon
- Stop for photos of Stonehenge on the beautiful Salisbury Plain
- Take a walking tour of Bath and see Pulteney Bridge
- Enjoy a 2-course Christmas lunch: roast turkey with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding
- Admire the English countryside as you pass through the picturesque landscape of the Cotswolds
- See Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon
What You Can Expect
How did the monolithic stones reach their resting point? Was the circle built as a temple for sun worship, or as a burial site for a ruling dynasty? Learn of the countless mysteries surrounding the stone circle from your expert guide, and capture unique photos of it without the crowds!
The historic spa town of Bath is a short drive from Stonehenge and the next stop on your Christmas Day tour. From the comfort of your luxury coach, admire the Georgian architecture of the buildings in Bath's city center, built from the golden-colored local stone. Take a walking tour around the town's quaint streets, passing the Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge.
Continue to the Cotswolds, one of the most quintessentially English regions in the country. Weave through its gently rolling hills, punctuated by sleepy, picture-perfect villages with thatched-roof cottages. Stop here for the undisputed highlight of Christmas Day – lunch! Enjoy a hearty Christmas lunch of succulent roast turkey and Christmas pudding in a charming Elizabethan inn. If you wish, indulge in the inn's impressive collection of real ales and fine wines (drinks at own expense).
As you start to circle back to London, enjoy a final stop in Stratford-upon-Avon, a pretty market town known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare – Britain's most famous Renaissance playwright. See the beautiful cottage that belonged to his wife – Anne Hathaway – and stop for photos outside his birthplace.
Arrive back in central London in the early evening, so you can spend your Christmas Day evening at leisure.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Netflix.When I was growing up I always had drive-in theatre in my own hometown. I have many fond memories of our family watching movies, sitting in the car with the crackle of the attached speaker on the window and a bucket of popcorn in my lap. Fast forward to now. While drive-in theatres are back in vogue even in the big city, my kiddos are still not ready (or at least I'm not) to take on the summer fun adventure of two children under 5 in the car for two hours plus and at least $40 out for refreshments. So we've opted for the next best thing - our own drive-in movie night at home using Netflix. Rolling out the TV to the back patio, the kids rolled up their cars and mama brought out the popcorn. Now to choose what to watch!Using the NEW Netflix.com/Families features, we were able to look through so many categories on our Apple TV including Family Movie Night, Are We There Yet and TV for Curious Kids. While there were so many to choose from, the love of Mickey Mouse won them over with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally. (And at only 48 minutes and no commercials it was ideal for my two-year-old!)
And just for the occasion, we broke out the ears! Even our Lab, Birddie, got in on the fun. We had so much fun with just changing where we were watching TV with Netflix, we decided to make it a double-feature and watched The Very Hungry Caterpillar. What an inexpensive night of fun - and all for $7.99 a month. (That's still less one ticket to the movies!) And doing the math for a family of four and treats, it's a big budget item for only two hours out of the house when with Netflix, you can get it unlimited! I'll admit I don't know if we will roll the TV out come August in Texas, but it doesn't matter where we watch Netflix. Between our iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and the good ole laptop, Netflix is just a few clicks away for family night fun. About NetflixNetflix.com/Families is a new destination designed to meet your family's summertime entertainment needs. On Netflix.com/Families, parents can find lists of movies and TV shows for all kinds of special summer moments. Visit www.Netflix.com/Families for more information on the best ways to stream as well as videos from families using Netflix. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Netflix.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have a child in NT and we love it. I only dread when he goes to middle school. I will miss the attention and one on one that NT has afforded to him in elementary school. They have made him the good student that he is today. I am proud of him and I am proud of NT for all that they have given to him.
I am very concerned with the new leadership at the school. Parental involvement is not encouraged, in fact you feel as if it's discouraged. The principal is on a mission to apparently prove herself and her power to someone, therefore the best interests of the children are being overlooked. I look for the scores to go down along with teacher morale, because that is what happens when the principal is not concerned with making it a better school environment for the teachers and the students. Very sad to see such an unprofessional person there.
North Todd is in the middle ground. It has the ability to fail or strive with the new leadership. Time will tell what is going to happen in this school. The teachers is the school system are very caring and I have not have any discouraging words towards them, but again with the new leadership they seem overstressed, overworked, and under paid. But isn't that with all teachers.
My daughter was very nervous about going to kindergarten. We had just moved to Todd Co. from Hopkins Co. and she didn't know anyone. During open house, Her teacher made her feel every welcomed. My daughter loves school and I am proud to say, with her teacher Ms. Greenfield, the North Todd staff and my husband and I working together with my daughter, we have helped her overcome her fear of a new town and school. I feel she is getting the best education and having fun at the same time. North Todd staff truly believes in their students and takes all stides to see the students live to their full potential. Thank you North Todd and may God Bless in all you do!

text: Psychoanalyzing the Left by Ace Of Spades Feb 3, 2013 12:55 PM PT When I was younger I thought psychology (and the closely related field of social anthropology) were twaddle, hokum, balderdash and other words which sound funny. And yet over the past few years I've become a fan of the fields. In another couple of years I'll probably go back to "twaddle."(Psychology explains this as the "End of History" illuson, the belief that our current evolution represents our full and ultimate configuration -- a delusion shared by people on a psychological level and politicians and (I use this term advisedly) Thinkers on the geopolitical one.)Continue reading Share This: Read more

Assets held by a former Virginia high school administrator and his estranged wife at the time she was slain will remain frozen until Aug. 5.
The order filed Tuesday in Bedford County Circuit Court is the second extension of a temporary injunction granted in April. The injunction prevents Wesley Earnest and his lawyers from selling or spending assets that Earnest and his wife Jocelyn held.
Earnest was convicted of first-degree murder and a firearms charge earlier this year in the December 2007 slaying of Jocelyn Earnest. His sentencing is set for Sept. 21.
Jocelyn Branham Earnest was born in Morgantown, W.Va., and graduated from West Virginia University. She was a member of the Mountaineer women's basketball team from 1989 to 1992.

Cake pops – individual bites of cake, on a stick. All of the flavor, none of the fork washing! They're all the rage on Pinterest, like the chocolate peppermint cake pops by A Cup Of Mascarpone seen here. But these pretty pops are just the tip of the iceberg – one peek at Pinterest and you'll see cake pops that look like watermelons, or popcorn, or cowboys (?!?), and some so pretty I'd be afraid to eat them.
But they aren't all this cute. Remember the turkey pops? And the Sesame Street ones? And remember what cake popping did to poor Minnie Mouse?
So reader Anna wasn't alone when she tried what she'd seen a thousand times on Pinterest, but ended up with baked scoops of cake that turned out to be not exactly Pinterest material.
Too bad her cake wouldn't stay on the stick, and her candy melts wouldn't stay stuck to the pop! Oh well, they might be lumpy and drippy and bald in some spots, but you know what we say: the nice thing about food fails is that at least you can eat the evidence.

Rove got his first TV gig on community television, hosting his own tonight show, The Loft with a budget of $500 a week. Rove hit the prime time schedule in 2000 with Rove Live on Network Ten after a brief late night stint on the Nine Network in 1999.
'Rove' continued on the Ten Network as a weekly, live talk/comedy show and made Rove McManus Australia's most popular television personality. The show has played host to some of the planet's biggest names with the likes of Cameron Diaz, John Travolta, Drew Barrymore, Matt Damon, The Duchess of York and U2 taking time out to chat with Rove.
At the same time Rove's production company Roving Enterprises has produced two scripted comedy series (Skithouse and Real Stories), a weekly sports panel show (Before The Game), a nightly news review program (The Project) and the ARIA Awards which Rove has also hosted three times.
All this time Rove has maintained his standup comedy, touring nationally and appearing at the 2010 and 2013 Just For Laughs Festivals in Montreal.
Rove has also been a three-time recipient of Australia's most prestigious television award the oddly named Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality.
Rove is currently based in Los Angeles where he was a regular on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, presenting his Rove Across America segment. In 2011 Rove returned to Australian TV with ROVE LA, a weekly talk show for FOX 8 in the heart of Hollywood. For series two, Rove LA moved home to the famous Warner Bros. lot in Burbank.
Rove returns to US television thus summer as the host of Fox's new game show Riot, produced by Steve Carrell.
Rove and his wife Tasma Walton recently welcomed the arrival of their first child; daughter Ruby Aurelia.
"A few years from now there's a real chance we will look back on September, 1999 as the time we saw the start of a network TV career of a young guy who may well turn out to be one of the biggest names in the business"

Vanessa Ives: You didn't tell the truth. By my reckoning, you were a boy when General Custer died and 'tis well known there were no survivors.A tall tale is a story with unbelievable or outright impossible elements (such as an impossibly tall man, hence the name "tall" tale), told as if it were true and factual. Tall tales arose, more or less, from braggy exaggerations and other cock-and-bull stories. They may contain exaggerations of actual characters or events, or they can be entirely made up. Common prototypes for tall tales are fish stories ("it was this big!") (which makes it transparent where the �tall� humor is coming from), as well as the the hunter's story, the war story, and the traveler's story. Tall Tales are inherently related to Satire, although they are usually humorous and good-natured. Some tall tales draw on myth or legend but while mythology may exaggerate the exploits of their heroes to make them more awesome, the Tall Tale is aware of its own absurdity and exaggerates so as to become ludicrous. Note that "tall tale" is sometimes also used in a wider sense for any "story that isn't true" (particularly when the teller pretends it is true); in this looser sense it also covers Shaggy Dog Stories and campfire Ghost Stories (in parts of the US, "tall tale" and "shaggy dog story" are indeed synonyms). Tall tales are also often told in a way that makes the narrator seem to have been a part of the story. If he himself is the hero, there are likely to follow outrageous Badass Boasts (often followed by the praise of one�s own modesty). This kind of a narrator is a Munchausen or a Miles Gloriosus. Standard stylistic devices are also the insistence on factuality, and the pitying of na�ve skeptics for their disbelief. Tall tales may also include fantastic creatures. In the USA, the Fearsome Critters of American Folklore are a traditional subject of tall tales. In Australia, expect to see Yowies and Bunyips and Drop Bears, Oh My. Tall tales are an ancient genre of folktales (as encountered in the tales around Paul Bunyan in the USA or Crooked Mick in Australia). But there is also the literary tall tale; the literary tall tale catalyzed the emergence of such respectable genres as Science Fiction and the Utopia. This page is for the Tall Tale genre. If a work is a tall tale itself, or a compendium of them, or the plot revolves around the telling of tall tales, then it goes in this trope. If it merely contains a braggart who is telling tall tales, but the tales aren't the focus of the work, then the trope you seek is Miles Gloriosus or The Munchausen instead.

Issue two of the official magazine, Manchester United, had a major scoop: an Eric Cantona interview just months after a shock move from title rivals Leeds...
People said you left Leeds because of personal difficulties with other players...
Is there a single player who has said a word against me? No. The press writes a load of nonsense about me - my name is always associated with scandal. At the moment, the slightest move I make is rubbished by the media.
Surely not. In football terms no-one doubts your ability...
Sure. But I haven't just been playing football since yesterday, you know. I've been around. I know the way the press deals with people in the public eye. What they know, they make public; what they don't know, they make up! People who go to a match can see what goes on on the pitch and, on the whole, they agree about it. It's pretty straightforward. But when reporters are asked to comment on things off the pitch, things they haven't seen, things they know nothing about, they invent stuff and build an image which isn't true.
This is the opportunity to put the record straight, then. Was there a bust-up with Howard Wilkinson? Are you bitter about what went on at Leeds?
Not at all. I left Leeds because it was time to move on. That's all.
But you keep changing clubs. People wonder why.
I leave when I need to change. It's like being with a woman. If you get to the point when you've got nothing left to say to her, you leave. Or else you stop being good. That's what I can't stand - I've got to be good at what I do. As soon as I start getting bored at a club, I know something's wrong. It's the way I am.
How long do you intend to stay at United?
As long as I'm happy and as long as people are happy with me. For the time being, I'm fine. It's one of the most famous clubs in the world. It's wonderful to be here.

It's not too simple that older gamers won't have some fun, and it's not too terribly difficult that some grade schoolers won't be able to grasp.
Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is too shallow to make it a good tycoon game, and the puzzles, in the end, feel too much like homework to actually be fun.
Unfortunately, what starts off as a fascinatingly fresh idea eventually breaks down. For all the compelling aspects of building your empire, the game's strategic model is actually pretty shallow.

Gov. Mitch Daniels will take a final trip in RV-1 - the motorhome he made famous during his 2004 run after driving it thousands of miles around the state to every county multiple times.
He is donating RV-1 to the Indiana State Museum, but it will on display at the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart. The governor and some key figures in his 2004 campaign will take RV-1 from Indianapolis to Elkhart on one last trip Wednesday.
The signature-laden vehicle will depart the Statehouse at 9 a.m. and arrive in Elkhart about 2:30 p.m.
Looking back, the RV amassed quite a record. After a year on the road in the first campaign, here were the numbers:
- Daniels ate 162 pieces of pie and 62 pork tenderloins.
- He visited 416 diners, grills or pubs; distributed more than 10,000 "My Man Mitch" T-shirts; and had as many as 17 people at one time in the RV.
- In addition, the headquarters has been used to tailgate eight times, been hit by two foul balls and received one fake parking ticket. The "roadies" who staffed the vehicle also locked themselves out five times.
- There were also eight casualties -- the grill, rear-view camera, awning, air-conditioning unit, a bird, a basketball hoop, a boulder and a telephone pole.

Dedicated to Our Industry's Success

The Canadian government is pushing for agreement among all premiers to break down inter-provincial trade barriers across Canada by the end of the year.
The initiative was made clear in comments made by Federal Industry Minister James Moore, and reported by the Canadian Press, during a tour of Quidi Vidi Brewing Co. in St. John's, N.L.
Moore said he hopes premiers will emerge united to promote freer trade across provincial boundaries when they hold their annual meeting at the end of the month in Prince Edward Island, and cited increased labor mobility between Ontario and Quebec and in Atlantic Canada, along with a joint letter last month from the premiers of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan calling for a removal of trade barriers.
"It's, to me, critical that we have as much economic opportunity for Canadians within Canada as we do have trade opportunities around the world," Moore said. "I certainly hope that before the end of the year we'll have a clear consensus amongst all provinces to move forward."
As reported by the Canadian Press, Premier Tom Marshall of Newfoundland and Labrador met with Moore and said his province is on board. "It seems a bit ridiculous that we have rights under foreign agreements and that we don't have the same rights under our own agreement of internal trade with other provinces," he said. "When CETA's approved we'll be able to sell into Europe but not necessarily be able to sell into other provinces. So it's time for the agreement to be modernized."

Brad Young reached his goal Thursday -- the one he had from the beginning of an ordeal that began in July when officials told him he was relieved of his Walkersville High School coaching duties.
He has his job back.
Linda Burgee, Frederick County Public Schools superintendent, overturned the decision made by then-Walkersville High Principal David Kehne and Lynn Carr, athletic director for the school system. Her decision was announced at a news conference held Thursday afternoon at the Frederick office of lawyer Dan Loftus, who represented Young throughout the appeals process.
Young was told in July he would not be hired back as Walkersville 's varsity softball coach after he hosted a team party at his home in June. Adult guests brought beer to the party for their personal consumption.
A complaint was made about the alcohol at the party. School officials investigated and decided not to rehire Young for the 2010 season. He was also banned from reapplying for three years.
Young was officially rehired after interviewing Wednesday with Walkersville athletic director Mike Mummert, but some sanctions remain that neither Loftus nor Young would disclose, citing personnel confidentiality.
In an e-mail, Burgee said she was "curious as to why this is just now in the news. Mr. Young received my decision the first week of August."
Young said the sanctions were moot until he was rehired. Burgee lifted the three-year suspension, which paved the way for him to be interviewed for the position.
In his news conference remarks, Loftus said he was pleased Burgee overturned the decision, and he thanked her for exercising common sense.
Young choked up as he talked about the toll the ordeal has taken on his family. With tears in his eyes, he reached over and took the hand of his wife, Cheryl. He was also accompanied by his daughter Rachel, a player on his team.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say these past few months haven't been extremely difficult -- this is the part where I get emotional -- on my wife and family, and I'm glad that hopefully it's coming to an end," he said.
He said he was thrilled to be back coaching at Walkersville . He thanked the public for its outpouring of support, and said that more than 1,000 letters and e-mails were sent to Burgee on his behalf. An online group set up through the social networking website Facebook attracted more than 400 members in support of Young being reinstated.
The focus now turns to the 2010 softball season, Young said, and he plans to be on the field March 1 for the beginning of tryouts. He said his team is full of girls who are successful on and off the field.
"The goal for next season is to win a state championship, have the girls do well in school and represent themselves well," Young said.
Loftus said that, throughout his investigation, he learned of many other school and athletic events where alcohol was served or otherwise present.
He was disappointed that the policy he called broad and vague is in place, he said, and he hopes the school board will address that.
Young had hoped to get through the appeals process without an attorney, he said, but soon realized it was in his best interest to be represented. When he learned that school system attorney Jamie Cannon would attend his appeals meeting with Burgee, he felt compelled to get a lawyer.
Loftus said he offered his services to Young, a former student of his in graduate school.
"I'm doing this pro bono, because that's how much confidence I have in him," Loftus said before the news conference. "That's how much I believe in him."

I love cricket. However, every year at around the time of the Indian Premier League I try my best to avoid every cricket website, every cricket news story, every cricket TV station, and almost everything else to do with cricket. This might seem strange in light of my
aforementioned affection for the game. But the reason is simple: I hate the 20/20 game.
Call me a snob if you will, but I find it difficult to truly appreciate a game that is mostly about hitting a cricket ball farther and more often than your opponent. The 20/20 game involves precious little nuance and not much of the ebb and flow that can make the test game so intriguing. There is hardly any place for defense when batting, or any of the subtleties that is the hallmark of good bowling. It is an inferior game.
And while I accept that the excitement it generates and its brevity could serve to lure new fans to cricket, I believe the cricket schedule is getting much too crowded for it's own good. The IPL seems endless; there is an Australian Big Bash competition, an English 20/20 league, and now there is a Bangladesh Premier league as well. Where will it end?
It is only a matter of time before even more cricketing nations jump on the 20/20 bandwagon, sparking a bidding war for the best talent available. Pretty soon, it appears, a substantial number of the major players will be playing 20 over cricket somewhere in the world while their and national teams will be forced to field 2nd or even 3rd string teams.
It has already begun to happen. I have seen the West Indies struggle to take test wickets in the Caribbean while a supposedly unfit Jerome Taylor was charging in for his IPL team half-way round the world. Chris Gayle's destructive bat has not been available to the West Indies since the 2011 World Cup because of a dispute with his board, no doubt fueled by the fact that he is regularly and lucratively employed elsewhere.
If other cricketing nations are not already experiencing similar problems, they soon will. I know that the no-objection certificate is supposed to prevent this problem, but we have already seen the strained relations between players and their boards that this can produce. And is it really right to try and force professionals to play for their national teams when they want to be engaged elsewhere?
And you can't really blame the players either. An athlete's career lasts only a few years, and injury or loss of form can make it even more fleeting. A player cannot reasonably be faulted for trying to maximize his earnings while he can. After all, it could all end tomorrow. And considering he would have dedicated many years to honing his talent for the game, he probably would not have acquired other marketable skills. What happens to him then? Should he not try to secure his future as quickly as he can, given the uncertainty of an athletic career?
I do not know how the danger posed to the traditional game by its 20/20 version is going to be resolved. It seems to me, though, that the ICC has got to find a way to seriously streamline the cricket calendar if it is to preserve the viability of the longer forms of the game. Twenty/20 cricket is here to stay and there needs to be a way for all forms of the game to co-exist. And they better act with haste too, or the great test game will not be long for this world.
[…] it end? It is only a matter of time before even more cricketing … Follow this link: PlanetCricket » Why I Hate 20/20 Cricket └ Tags: and-now, australian, bangladesh, even-more, ipl, league-as-well, seems-endless, […]
If we ask the question of why we watch cricket to ourselves the answers of the majority would be that they watch it for their pleasure.In this busy world , 20/20 match is of less duration and could provide us with maximum entertainment. So I likes 20/20 more although I like test too.
u mean u dont like the ipl
Great article! there needs to be a 2-3 month window for 20/20 where there is 1 main league so all the good players are playing in the same comp at the same time and have a separate international window for tests. A little bit like football is governed
20/20 = Crap

text: On March 27, 1997, about 1400 Alaska standard time, N4855C, a Cessna 185 airplane equipped with wheel penetration skis, sustained substantial damage while landing at the Birchwood Airport, Chugiak, Alaska. The solo commercial pilot was not injured. The local, 14 CFR Part 91 postmaintenance test flight operated in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan.The pilot, who is the owner of the airplane and also a certificated aviation mechanic, reported he had just installed wheel penetration skis on the airplane, and was taking the airplane for a short flight to test the skis. As soon as the airplane lifted off runway 19, he said the ski tips rotated full up, into a nearly vertical position. He maintained full power, and was able to fly the airplane around the traffic pattern and land on the snow covered terrain just short of the approach end of runway 01. The skis failed to rotate down to a normal position upon touchdown, and the airplane continued down the runway for about 100 feet. The pilot said as the airplane slowed, side loads on the right main landing gear ski caused the ski to break free of the main landing gear, and allowed the gear leg to penetrate the snow. After the right gear leg penetrated the snow, the right wing and elevator struck the snow, causing substantial damage.Postaccident inspection of the airplane's ski assemblies disclosed excessively long check cables which attach near the heel of the skis and prevent the ski tips from pitching up too far.

Possible it has nothing to do with Celiac? Check your thyroid?

Posted 23 May 2013 - 07:08 AM
Definitely have a work up to see if it is unrelated. If celiac, did you make any changes to your diet recently? You say you prepare your food at home. It is produce and unprocessed meats? If eating products, could processing have changed in any of them to add cc chances? Do you eat gluten-free grains? There have been studies showing that they can have cc issues. You can try eliminating suspect items one at a time to see if anything helps. Some of us get sensitive to lower levels of cc as time goes on. I hope that you feel better soon.
