On Dec 17, 2011, Mike and I embarked on a journey to heal our guts via Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride's Gut and Psychology Syndrome [GAPS] Diet*. This is the story of that journey and a guide to enjoying this challenging cleanse by way of good food.
Buon appetito!
See below for tips on how to get started and related recipes.
Why GAPS?
I have been battling digestive issues since I was ten years old. The cause? At first, we had no idea. Doctors said I would "grow out of it." I never did. My digestion and related symptoms [PMS, memory loss, eczema, bloating, adrenal fatigue, candidiasis, and bouts of depression and anxiety] continued to get worse after puberty but it was not until college that I decided to take my health into my own hands. From there, I tried many methods [Body Ecology Diet, Raw Diet, GF/CF Diet, probiotics, cultured foods, etc] to alleviate my symptoms. All of these methods helped, but none truly fixed the problem. As I became more educated about my health, I found that like my Mom and my Gram, I had a weak gall bladder, which made digesting fats challenging. My liver would give out every once in awhile too, which made it hard to digest carbohydrates. I had cravings for the very foods that negatively affected my digestion - sugar and carbohydrates [usually accompanied by "bad" fats]. By limiting these foods, I was managing my symptoms, but not eradicating them. I wanted to feel well. I wanted to know what it was like to eat a meal and not feel like a brick was slowly moving through my gut. I wanted to feel normal.
My Mom and I had heard about GAPS diet before. Why we never tried it? It is hard. Really hard. And it takes commitment. And you can't cheat. And for foodies like us? You don't want to give up the delicious foods you have become accustomed to enjoying at new-found foodie destinations.
But GAPS works. Like really works. At least that is what we have learned over and over again from those who have tried it. Yeah, it's hard. But what is hard compared to dealing with continued digestive issues and a compromised immune system that will only lead to chronic illness? GAPS should be cake. At least I hope.
In a nut shell, the GAPS Diet aims to give your digestive system a break from all of the hard-to-digest and bad-bacteria-feeding foods you were eating and focuses on nourishing foods that will heal the gut lining and re-establish good bacteria [flora] to the gut. Once you have healed the gut, you can slowly re-introduce harder to digest whole foods that will make up the basis of your healthful diet. You can never go back to the SAD [Standard American Diet]. You can, however, occasionally enjoy some of the less healthy foods you enjoy without the digestive upset or negative response you had in the past.
Eastern medicine refers to the gut as the second brain - and for good reason. All of the functions of the brain [as well as the entire body] are related to what goes on in your gut. If you aren't digesting and assimilating your food [aka nutrients] very well, your body will not function the way it should. If the food particles leak outside of a gut that it damaged and "leaky," those food particles will enter the blood stream and travel to the brain as neurotoxins, which negatively affect every function of your brain. Hence why most of us who have digestive issues also have neurological symptoms [memory challenges, headaches, insomnia, concentration issues, depression, mood swings, anxiety]. Unchecked, these issues can lead to and worsen serious chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer's, ADD/ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy and dyslexia. Surprisingly [or not so much], the health of your gut can also influence your susceptibility to a myriad of auto-immune disorders such as diabetes, hyper/hypoglycemia, hypo/hyper-thyroidism, multiple sclerosis, and heart disease. For a more in-depth, medically based analysis, I would recommend reading Dr. Campbell-McBride's book and perusing her website. She breaks it down to the simplest of terms and her book is an easy read that is understandable and sensical.
So here we were on the brink of embarking on this fix-all diet. I was scared. Nervous. Anxious. Excited. I wanted to feel well so badly, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hack it. My parents started the diet first [they are about a month and a half ahead of us] and I soon witnessed that yes, it takes time and diligence, but it's not that hard. And it's actually quite delicious. Heavenly even. What the hell was wrong with me? So we took the leap.
GAPS Tips
Before you start the diet:
- Plan to start with the GAPS Intro Diet. It's a bit harder than the full GAPS Diet, but chances are you'll need a slow, nourishing introduction to the full blown diet. Your body will thank you.
- If you are a working professional, plan to start the diet when you know you will have a few days off - the first few days are the hardest as you get used to cooking every meal.
- Read Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD
- Read GAPS Guide by Baden Lashkov for additional information on the diet and a real-life testimony
- Make cultured vegetables, chicken stock and ghee so that you have these items before you begin
- Purchase locally raised, grass-fed beef soup bones, marrow, roasts and stew meat [a few of each] and place in your freezer
- Purchase 3-4 whole pastured chickens and place in your freezer [thaw 1 the day before you begin]
- Purchase celtic mineral sea salt [added nutrition and flavor]
- Order probiotics {Dr. Campbell-McBride recommends Bio-Kult, but we interchange Bio-K+ [morning] and Bio-Kult [night] for maximum probiotic benefit}
- Order supplements [we're taking BodyBio liquid selenium, iodine, zinc and magnesium, and Green Pasture fermented cod liver oil]
- Purchase a crock-pot or slow-cooker [this will allow you to "make" broths and stocks while you sleep or while you're at work - essential!]
- Purchase a juicer [we bought an Omega Nutrition Center, which makes foam-free juices and nut butters, milks, grinds spices and minces herbs and garlic]
- Purchase a food processor or blender or immersion blender [for blending soups]
- Purchase a large, heavy pot for cooking soups and stews [my Le Creuset works perfectly - check out your local thrift store for a good-quality cast iron pot]
- Purchase 12-24 quart-size glass mason jars w/ lids [for storing broths, stocks, soups and stews]
- Purchase a large funnel and unbleached cheese cloth for transferring broths and soups to jars and straining homemade ghee
- Purchase freezer bags for storing broth bones
- Purchase a large thermos for toting meals to work and on day-trips.
- The day before you begin, clear out your fridge and pantry of any GAPS-illegal foods so you won't be tempted. Treat a neighbor to the goodies.
Once you're on the diet [will be added to as we make our way through the diet]:
- Do it with your family. It is impossible [and ridiculous] to try to make separate meals for everyone since GAPS cooking takes much more time. If your spouse or partner is reluctant, have them read the book first - chances are they will have a positive outcome from being on the diet as well. If they want to cheat, ask them not to tell you about it and to have their treats away from home. The GAPS Book has some great tips for picky eaters, child and adult alike.
- Shop at your local farmers market. There you will find the most nutrient-dense, flavorful and in-season produce. Hopefully you have a local rancher who can supply you with grass-fed meats as well as the soup bones and marrow you will need for the diet.
- Be creative. In the beginning, chicken soup gets a little old, so mix it up and change out the vegetables you use so you don't get bored.
- Don't be afraid to have guests over. Do or don't tell them what they are missing [i.e. carbohydrates, sugar]. Chances are they will thoroughly enjoy the nourishing and tasty meal you have prepared for them. Oh, and don't forget to tell them "BYOB" since you won't have any wine or beer in the house.
- Enjoy the food you prepare. Make foods that you enjoy and that are allowed on the diet.
- Don't be afraid of FAT! Besides, it makes the food taste way better and will curb any sugar cravings you may have.
- Don't give up! If you're having bad die-off reactions [worsened symptoms as the bad bacteria literally "die-off" and leave the body], push through - it will get better. Take a hot epsom salt bath and treat yourself to a foot massage. Read a good book. Enjoy a cup of tea with a bit of raw honey.

The GAPS Experience [via Katie]
Since I don't have much time on my hands since starting the pots and pans diet [aka GAPS], I'll try to journal every few weeks to keep you [and myself] updated on our progress. My regular posts will focus on the recipes, while these journal entries will focus on the GAPS experience. Enjoy the ride.
*Please note that there are a few GAPS websites out there - they each have useful information and should all be explored before embarking on your GAPS Diet journey.

"Here I argue that publishing—as a set of processes and practices—is constitutive of all formations of writing and reading. Publishing precedes writing and governs the possibilities of reading. This article is an explicit challenge to both contemporary book studies and literary studies.

Dark Journeys: A Short Story Collection by Jennifer Hudock
I was looking for a creepy short story collection to read coming off of Halloween (a holiday that is over much too quickly in my opinion!), and a friend recommended this book to me. It was a spot on recommendation! I am a huge fan of shows like the Walking Dead and the 28 Days Later films and was particularly intrigued by the bonus story "Two Weeks".
The book was everything that I hoped it would be and more – "Two Weeks" was particularly disturbing–in a good way! Stories about the zombie apocalypse are popping up more and more but "Two Weeks" was really creative and had a very different (and super scary!) approach; definitely a unique twist. I also really loved the story with the werewolves… revenge stories are the best and this one was edge-of-your-seat scary. I liked the tone of the writing and thought that the author did an excellent job of being so descriptive that you really could visualize the settings and the characters as if you were watching them live. That is my idea of a great read! If you are looking for a well-written collection of scary stories, look no further: this is it!

339 Mr A. W. Fadden, Acting Prime Minister, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister (in London)
Cablegram 112 7 March 1941,
Now that Cabinet and War Council meetings have concluded you should know the atmosphere here, particularly in relation to the Pacific situation.
Despite anything you may have read on recent developments I would like you to know there is no need for concern. Any difficulties will be ironed out with the ready co-operation of Mr. Curtin [1] and others. When the War Council issued its warning a fortnight ago [2] we were faced not only with a delicate overseas position, but a dangerous situation at home. Pin-pricking strikes, overtime bans and go-slow tactics were having a serious effect.
Following the War Council's declaration, which was given wide publicity, I had several secret discussions with Union officials and Parliamentary members. Mr. Curtin also called meetings of his members and of officials at the Trades Halls. Mr. Beasley [3] also worked along similar lines.
These efforts have had a marked effect industrially. The overtime ban which was slowing up shipbuilding and munitions production has been removed while a series of strikes in munitions plants has been settled. The Miners' Federation issued a no strike pledge because of the gravity of the War situation.
While some people may have felt that the War Council's warning went too far, nevertheless no one came out publicly in opposition and no one disputed the need for the utmost preparation against possible aggression.
During visits to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Newcastle I was given quite definite evidence that people more than ever were looking to our own defences and the defences of our near North.
The arrival of our troops in Malaya following quickly upon the War Council's declaration provided concrete evidence of our preparations. It had a consolidating effect upon the atmosphere that had been developed. Preparations for the meeting of Parliament were based upon this atmosphere.
A new situation has been created as a result of the interpretation placed upon your speech by a section of the newspapers and Labour members on Advisory Council that it advocated appeasement and was a policy essentially different from that on which the War Council's declaration was based.
An indication of the conflicting viewpoints being expressed is provided in the following-'Age' leader 6th March:
Inconsistency with the recent grave statement by the Advisory War Council is also charged against the Prime Minister. Many citizens, fully impressed at the time with this warning, and accepting its implications, have since concluded that it was issued in a mood of hysteria, or perhaps for undisclosed diplomatic reasons.
'Sydney Morning Herald' leader 7th March:
Everything that has happened abroad, both in Europe and the Far East, since the Advisory War Council issued its grave warning to the nation on February 13, goes to reinforce the warning and strengthen the appeal which the party leaders then made for the greatest effort of preparedness. At that time there were several strikes in progress which were seriously impeding war production, and it was gratifying to observe, during the following week, signs that the War Council's admonitions had been heeded by sections of workers who, in the preoccupation of trying to enforce their demands, had been turning a blind eye to dangers approaching their homeland. The climax to this welcome development in industry was the pledge given by the leaders of the Miners' Federation [Messrs.
Nelson and Kellock], of '100 per cent. coal production while the present grave war situation continued.' [4]
In discussion at War Council Meeting yesterday Beasley, Forde [5] and Makin [6] expressed fears of repercussions industrially apart from developments in their own caucus. This view seems also to be held by Curtin who was not at the Council Meetings, but who stated at Canberra:
I must emphasise that the War Council's views were unanimous and were made as a result of official communications placed before the Council. For myself, I say that nobody, not even the Prime Minister, can escape the fact that an aggressor is on the move in regions affecting Pacific countries. Until the aggressor stops moving, it would be a major blunder for any Australian to disregard the strategic potentialities of the position.
New Zealand newspaper opinion is also being published here, displaying a conflict of views.
Your explanation dated London, 6th March [7], setting out your views in nine points, is accepted here as assisting to clarify the earlier newspaper and Labour interpretations.
Our purpose now is to remove any misapprehensions created by the newspapers. This might take some time unless some overseas incident comes to our assistance.
I have refrained from commenting, but should it be felt necessary to make some declaration on this matter I will seek your views. I reiterate that there is no need for concern and am confident that the position will speedily be adjusted.

Just wondering what happens when a house is appraised for less than the sale price. For example, say a house is under contract (accepted offer) for $400000. The buyer plans on a down payment of $125000 so they will only have to finance $275000. The appraisal comes in at $350000, so less than the sales price but more than the loan amount. Does the bank care about this at all? Would it jeopardize the loan? The buyer and seller are fine with the appraised value versus the sales price. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
As long as the borrowed amount is under the required percentage it should not be a problem... For example, if a bank requires 20% equity (an 80/20 loan) and the house appraises at 350k, then the borrower would be okay as long as they were borrowing less than 280k (.8*350) If they require 25% equity, then you'd not be able to borrow more than 262.5k and you'd (the buyer) would have to come up with more of a down payment, or negotiate your buying price down by 18k to cover that difference... |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Sun, Jun 30, 13 at 8:16
Banks care about appraisals because they want to make sure that if the buyer defaults they can get their money out by selling the house. So they typically won't lend more than 80% of the appraised value. As long as the down payment is sufficient to get the loan amount to 80% of appraisal, you should be ok. Where people get into trouble is if they only have 20% of the contract price to put down and the appraisal comes in under the contract price. They then either need to come up with a larger down payment or get the seller to accept a lower price. |
Thank you both! I never knew thats how it worked! |

The Best 'Zynga Guys' Story Ever Got Buried by the Times
On Sunday, the New York Times' Dealbook finance vertical—increasingly focused on tech IPOs, naturally—unrolled a monster story by writer Evelyn M. Rusli about just how toxic the culture of Zynga can be to employees, and how it's hurt the company's potential growth opportunities. It's an utterly fantastic read. But—as one Betabeat tipster pointed out to us—the best moment in the piece was missed by many, because it was buried in the 29th paragraph, in a story with 38 paragraphs. Read More

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Skippy!
Facts about Skippy
- Breed: Dachshund/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Skippy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Skippy was saved from a high kill shelter just in the nick of time. He is a chiweenie which is a dachshund-chihuahua mix. He is about 2 years old and a sweet little boy. He has some traits of the dachshund breed and also some traits of the chihuahua breed. He prefers women over men but also gets along fine with the man of the foster home. A home without small children is recommended, but older children is fine. Skippy likes hanging out with his special person to watch TV, go for walks, hiking in the country, or a special car ride to the pet store for treats. He is a wonderful little boy and will make someone a great best friend.
Other Pets at Spotted Weinie Dog Hill Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Skippy, a Lawndale Dachshund/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Chihuahua for sale in Lawndale, or seeking a Dachshund/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Lawndale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lawndale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lawndale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Chihuahua breeders who help with Dachshund/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lawndale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yellow Jackets: We treat Yellow Jackets with our one-time application service that will completely eliminate the nest within two to three days. This treatment is guaranteed for 30 days and if any problems return within that time, we will re-treat the initial problem area until it's eliminated, at no additional charge. Don't try to treat these Michigan wasps on your own as they can become angry and attack. Let the experts at Van Den Berge Pest Control handle all your problems with wasps in Michigan!
European Wasps: These wasps Michigan usually suspend their nests under a horizontal surface and hang from under eaves, decks, window ledges and/or on attic rafters. These wasps are beneficial in that they control other insect pests, but they can be hazardous if their nest is near people or pets and they tend to winter over in walls and attics. We recommend a monthly service from April through September to get these wasps under control so they don't continue to build their nest somewhere else.

Target Audience: Information technology librarians, technical services librarians, administrators interested in the next generation library management system
Learning Outcomes:
1. Participants will identify at least three advantages and disadvantages of cloud-based solutions and three types of cloud computing- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)-to lower the total cost of ownership.
2. Participants will be able to evaluate the library management functionality in OCLC's Web-Scale Management Services (WMS), a cloud computing interface, and the efficiency of OCLC's WorldCat Grid Services.
Libraries are on the forefront of migrating their data and services to the "cloud." Cloud computing is emerging as a key way for libraries to implement new services. Presenters will discuss how cloud computing can be implemented to leverage library end-user satisfaction and build the necessary interoperability. OCLC member institutions have been contributing to the idea of cloud computing through the centralized MAchine Readable Cataloging (MARC) records services. Now, OCLC's WMS promises less complexity in its library management system to create a more independent discovery and delivery platform. Panelists will also give a critical analysis on the trend of proliferated cloud computing services to demystify questions about privacy, security, and reliability that cloud computing often raises.
Coordinator/Moderator: Keiko Okuhara, University of Hawaii, William S. Richardson School of Law; Speakers: Erik Mitchell, Wake Forest University, Z. Smith Reynolds Library; Andrew Pace, OCLC Online Computer Library Center, INC.
Target Audience: Law librarians interested in gaining a further understanding of THOMAS
Learning Outcomes:
1. Participants will be able to articulate a user-centered design business model.
2. Participants will be able to name several ways that THOMAS can be improved in the near future.
THOMAS.gov, the legislative information database from the Law Library of Congress, was created in 1995. It is regarded as the "go to" place for bills, laws, Congressional Record, etc. This program will focus on the recent changes to THOMAS, many of which stem from user-generated feedback such as permanent links and integrated social media. The program will also cover how these changes better the user experience and make reference transactions using THOMAS easier. A member of the Library of Congress Information Technology Services Division will explain the challenges and requirements of revamping THOMAS around a user-centered design. The Law Library of Congress would like feedback and input from the participants on the next generation of THOMAS.
The first half of this program will be devoted to examining some of the political, regulatory, and technological challenges involved in implementing the FCC's National Broadband Plan. The second half will be devoted to a real-time, hands-on broadband demonstration examining FCC tools to measure and/or educate users regarding broadband access. Attendees are encouraged to participate using their laptops, cell phones, and any other devices capable of browsing the web.
Target Audience: Librarians who implement web technologies or wish to communicate effectively with their IT department about their implementation
Learning Outcomes:
1. Participants will be able to identify the skills and tools needed to begin using various programming languages.
2. Participants will be able to select possible applications for their library, based on the programming languages presented.
Programming languages and the web tools they create permeate today's library. Daily, librarians make decisions about the tools they offer patrons online. They consult with IT staff about implementing online tools, but they may not have a realistic idea of what they're requesting. Most librarians know a little, want to know more, and are willing to self-educate—but may not know where to start. This program will provide an overview of several programming languages that are currently being used by libraries. Panelists will discuss how they use these languages to create online tools for patrons, design and display effective web pages, and manipulate cataloging records.
Coordinator/Moderator: Cynthia W. Bassett, University of Missouri Law School Library; Speakers: Thomas R. Boone, Loyola Law School, William M. Rains Library; Jason Eiseman, Yale Law School, Lillian Goldman Library; Nicole C. Engard, ByWater Solutions; Ted Lawless, Brown University
Target Audience: Technical services librarians, administrators
Learning Outcomes:
1. Participants will be able to analyze the potential workflow impacts of implementing RDA, based upon the experiences of RDA testing.
2. Participants will be able to explain how the RDA Toolkit is structured and how to use it effectively.
Law catalogers who participated in the RDA testing process during the fall of 2010 will describe their experiences. Topics will include: the testing process, overall impressions of RDA, and use of the online RDA Toolkit. The presenters will specifically compare using the online RDA Toolkit with using printed AACR2 guidelines for cataloging library materials. Participants will learn how RDA affected library workflow and productivity in the test libraries. (Please note that this program is NOT a training session on RDA itself.)

Ten days in Italy with Brian Polcyn and Nic Heckett for a salume tour of northern and central Italy—primarily Piedmont, Tuscany, Umbria and Emilia-Romagna. Damn, Italy is beautiful. There's a reason Tuscany in particular is so romanticized. Its rolling, forested hills and little towns perched on hillsides are breathtaking, particularly, I assure you, if you live in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. I'm buried in work after being gone, so I will note a few highlights but of course keep the salume revelations for the book—there was one huge transformative one. The book, a follow-up to Charcuterie and the reason for the trip, is due to the publisher September 1. Yikes. The top photo was what our nightly table tended to look like in the beginning, salume tasting and notes. What a pleasure it was to travel Read On »
Posts Categorized: Pork!
Our last night in Florida, my mom, having no real plans for dinner, thawed a pork tenderloin she'd been wanting but was in a quandary how to cook it. I find pork tenderloin a little on the ho-hum side, but a marinade 0f some kind would help it considerably. Marinades can be a contentious subject, especially when you include something acidic, vinegar or citrus juice. Marinades do not tenderize meat. I almost never include acid in a marinade because it "cooks" the exterior of the meat (in a good way if you're making the ceviche below). If I want something acidic with the meat, I add it just before or during the cooking. Nor do marinades penetrate the meat, not to any real effect. If I want flavors to penetrate meat I use salt or Read On »
Update 9/13/07: Chicago Tribune writer Kevin Pang and anonymous reviewer are first to review the dish. I personally will not rest until this dish makes it onto The Cheesecake Factory Menu. Yesterday I received a heartening email about my plea to rid the nation of the tragedy called the Chicken Caesar Salad and my suggestion for a protest replacement. It wasn't from an esoteric ADD freaking madman cook putting rooster tops on romaine. It was a man of the heartland, a relative unknown, a cook who's spent a plenty of time in corporate chefdom. His name is Mark Mavrantonis and he's the chef at Mike Ditka's suburban outpost in Oakbrook Terrace, a half hour outside Chicago. (You gotta trust a chef who goes after his own king crabs.) It's proof that some of these guys Read On »
It's the only way to redeem the catastrophe of the Chicken Caesar. Wed it with pork belly that has been briefly cured, then gently poached in fat, cooled in fat, then sliced, breaded and deep-fried. I want to say it again: Pork belly confit, deep-fried. Oh, man it is soooo good. Following what I think is an extraordinary thread of comments on the Caesar Salad in America, for which I want to express huge thanks to those who took the time to write and argue; all of you help me to know what I think and I hope think better, and I am grateful—I humbly introduce … The Chicken Fried Pork Belly Caesar. I didn't do the croutons because of the crispy nature of the pork but Donna suggested that for a truly innovative interpretation, Read On »

The kidney has a remarkable capacity to withstand insults for an extended period of time. The sensitivities of individual renal cells to injury vary depending on their type, position in the nephron, local vascularization, and the nature of injury. The resulting kidney injury is a product of the interplay between cell dysfunction, cell death, proliferation, inflammation, and recovery.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, and its diagnosis depends on serum creatinine or cystatin C measurements.
Unfortunately, creatinine is a delayed and unreliable indicator of AKI. The lack of early biomarkers has limited our ability to translate promising experimental therapies to human AKI. Fortunately, understanding the early stress response of the kidney to acute injuries has provided a number of potential biomarkers. For example, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is emerging as an excellent stand alone biomarker in the plasma and urine for predicting and monitoring clinical trials and in the prognosis of AKI. In recent years, a number of new biomarkers of AKI with more favorable test characteristics.
The two tables indicate the utility of the newer markers, some of which are commercially available indicate the utility of these markers compared to cystatin C. Because the pattern of appearance in the urine or serum, varies with the markers it may be necessary to use more than one marker to detect and monitor AKI.
Efforts to detect AKI in the earlier stage has resulted in some promising biomarkers such as KIM-1, NGAL, IL-18, and Clusterin. Cystatin C is a biomarker for glomerular filtration function, while 2-microglobulin, 1-microglobulin, NAG, RBP, IL-18, NGAL, Netrin-1, KIM-1, Clusterin, Sodium Hydrogen Exchanger Isoform and Fetuin A are biomarkers for tubular reabsorption function.

Magdeburg on the freight map
A first cargo flight departed Germany's Magdeburg Cochstedt airport on Dec. 12 following the issue of a freight forwarding license by Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), the national civil aviation authority.
Cargo carrier RAF-Avia, based in Riga, Latvia, operated the inaugural service using one of the two 5.5 tonne capacity AN-26 freighters that it now has stationed at the German airport. RAF-Avia runs commercial charters as well as providing feeder services for TNT and DHL.
Danish company Airport Development bought Cochstedt, a former East German military base located between Leipzig and Berlin, in 2010. The airport boasts good road connections to nearby commercial centers, including Wolfsburg, 40 minutes away, where Volkswagen has its global headquarters.
Cochstedt, now classified as an EU Regulated Agent and Known Consignor, will leverage its unrestricted 24-hour license by developing as a logistics hub. On-airport freight facilities of 70,000 and 10,000 square feet are to be built in 2013.
A spokesman told us land was available adjacent to the airport for development by the logistics industry, and envisioned the development of temperature-controlled facilities.
"We have a 3,100-meter runway and we're well located to bring fresh produce in from Egypt and the Middle East. It's a good sector length," he said. "Major multinational forwarders establishing themselves would be close to the DCs of large German supermarkets, with good access into Poland."

I love this scent for my boyfriend! I purchased it at 75% off (I payed about 3.00) so for the price, it was a no brainer. It does have a warm musky smell- very masculine. Apparently not masculine enough for my boyfriend's taste though, haha! Over all, I do like this product however it is not one of his favorites. We will probably not repurchase.
My husband fell in love with this scent for some reason...I mean, its nice but not alluring enough ;). BBW describes it as a warm, woodsy blend of red oak, cedarwood and musk. I thought t scent was subtle and masculine...good but not great! On the website its apparently top rated so I guess men know what they like in their deos! A good buy esp. on offer! :D

I'm the one with the dog fighting/treating the irritated paws. I'm even beginning to wonder if it's not some sort of fungal infection or yeast. Does yeast smell like a stinky sour cheese smell? It's on her skin mostly I smell it coming from her belly and under her arm pits. Just today I noticed that her "elbows" on the front are irritated too. This would make sense since the paws do not want to heal. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Time for a trip to the vet..........and preferable a dermatologist. Having to wear a cone to prevent chewing has to be agonizing for her since it sounds as tho the paws are constantly bothering her. Sounds like whatever it is has now spread over her body. |
My dog had a yeast infection caused by an allergic irritation on his skin and it gave him a weird smell. The vet gave him shampoo that took care of it. |
That smell is usually due to excessive sebum production, often secondary to allergic and/or bacterial/fungal (including yeast) skin disease (pyoderma). But the primary problem is usually allergies, which are not simply controlled, though shampoos can help some. Agree with a dermatology visit, as that will cut to the chase the fastest, and you will avoid a lot of unnecessary treatments that may not work. |
I have the same problem with my chihuahua! The vet has tried several rounds of antibiotic and 3 different shampoos. It is back again. I guess the dermatologist is the next step. Would be interested to hear of anyone else has gotten an answer that fixed the problem? |

Actually geothermal wells don't need soil. They just need the earth's temperature. When we had our wells drilled (two 250' wells) they came in with a giant rig (I didn't see it buy DH said it looked like it could drill oil wells) and they drilled both wells in one day. It really didn't seem to matter what they hit. Once they drill the hole, they sink a closed loop down the well and then fill it with bentonite. The fluid (nontoxic) from the geothermal system is then circulated through the loop where the earth either warms or cools the fluid, depending on if you are heating or cooling your house. How deep the well starts is based on your location...it has to be below the frost line in your area. Our wells start 4' below ground and go down from there. They are in the front of the house, but no one sees them as they are below ground. The only other thing has to do with spacing of the wells...they need to be far enough away from each other that they won't freeze the earth between them in the winter time. Econar geothermal unit. Note hot water tank next to unit is not a heater, but a storage unit. We have a desuperheater which pre heats the hot water when the unit is operating so we burn less gas for our tankless hot water heaters. When the unit is in air conditioning mode, we get hot water for free. Pipes going out to the wells |

oh thankyou---what an excellent tutorial! i was having trouble understanding how it worked, so really, thanks so much for your answer. this place is mostly granite ledge. they will drill through that? btw, we have a 300 gallon storage tank in our basement so it's room temp before feeding the hot water heater. we have another one behind the barn i plan on bringing with us to our next home. |

From wikipedia: The net thermal efficiency of a heat pump should take into account the efficiency of electricity generation and transmission, typically about 30%.[9] Since a heat pump moves 3 to 5 times more heat energy than the electric energy it consumes, the total energy output is much greater than the input. This results in net thermal efficiencies greater than 300% as compared to radiant electric heat being 100% efficient. Traditional combustion furnaces and electric heaters can never exceed 100% efficiency. |
So where does 600% come from? I've never seen that in a residential installation... SR |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Fri, Aug 3, 12 at 8:50
Rounding error? ;) There seems to be a seasonal component to the % efficiency, but don't ask me...I'm no expert. |
Here is a link that might be useful: US Dept of Energy
Re: US Dept of Energy Interesting that the info on the link provided was on the 'Your Home' (residential) page. "Fairly high efficiencies (300-600%)" is in error in my opinion. The latest, 'greatest', most efficient GSHP with variable speed everything (compressor, blower fan motor & flow center) boasts a COP of up to 6 (600%) with their 6-ton HP in partial load heating mode in an open loop configuration (see page 38 in link below). They don't mention from what depth they're pumping this water. One would have to assume that unlike a closed loop which is a balanced system (water coming up equals water going down) that the water table would have to be very near the surface to avoid high wattage pumping from a deep well and that according to their published specs requires an Entering Water Temperature (EWT) of 80 degrees F. GOOD LUCK IN BOTH CASES! If you're living somewhere that the ground temperature is 80 degrees F in the winter - there's a good chance you won't be needing much heat! Regarding COPs above 6 (600%), I have been involved in projects where the proposed system efficiency was 700%. One such example was an integrated single geothermal system operating between 2 closely spaced municipal facilities. One was an indoor skating arena, the other a municipal garage. The way it works is that the heat extracted from the water to make the ice for the skating rink would be pumped into the in-floor radiant slab of the municipal garage floor - before the use of the loop field in either case. So rather than having 2-separate GSHP systems each with a COP of 3.5 (350%), one integrated system instead of 2 is said to have a COP of 7 (700%) or the addition of the combined output of 2-separate systems. |

The weather couldn't have been more perfect! With a light fleece jacket it was warm enough despite the wind. The sun shined most of the time we were there, so much so, I have a sunburn on my face...lol. On the way, we stopped at some outlet stores and picked up a few kitchen tools, including a new wooden pepper mill. It was high tide when we arrived at the beach and there was even one lone surfer in a wet suit.....the open ocean...
And the inlet with DH in the distance...the different shades of blue in the water was so beautiful..... This is from across the way, looking back on where we were standing on the beach earlier....can you see the surfer in the wet suit?...he is a black speck in the farthest to the right whitecap [g]... I saw this and said to DH... 'Oh, I have to take a photo of that for Chelone' ...DH : 'Who?' ....'You know, my 'imaginary friends' lol We love the name of this cafe and had to have breakfast there, on a past trip....this was on the way to another part of town... The other part of town....one of the restaurants, looking very different than in June... Around the corner, another restaurant has a small garden.... Saw these and thought of Mary and her crafts.... Outside a gift shop... Inside the giftshop... On our way out of town, in front of another shop. Isn't this neat? The end of the tour. :-) |

I really (really, really, really) like that school of fish on the wall - that's the shade of blue that I like in the garden :) It looks like a lovely day, but I can't imagine being in the ocean even in my wetsuit (and I was in the Atlantic on New Year's Day a couple of years ago!). Thanks for taking us along. Saucy |

Tower to control: ''The Aviator'' is cleared for takeoff. Finally. Over the years, several director-actor pairs have toyed with bringing the life of mogul Howard Hughes to the screen -- among them, Christopher Nolan and Jim Carrey, Milos Forman and Edward Norton, and Warren Beatty and...Warren Beatty. But the first team to take flight is Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, reuniting after winning critical plaudits with ''Gangs of New York.'' ''We tend to think of Howard Hughes near the end of his life in Las Vegas, the recluse, et cetera,'' says Scorsese, referring to Hughes' final career incarnation as a casino boss. ''This deals with him as a vibrant young man changing the world and fighting a disease that he didn't know he had: obsessive-compulsive disorder.'' The film also promises to detail Hughes' famous romantic conquests: Cate Blanchett plays Katharine Hepburn and Kate Beckinsale appears as Ava Gardner (Jude Law, meanwhile, shows up as Errol Flynn). ''It's terrifying to play a real person, especially one as beloved as Ava Gardner,'' Beckinsale says, ''because you know there's going to be 15 billion people going 'You completely got it wrong!'''
The film's time span means we'll see DiCaprio age from 26 to 46. ''He goes from this extraordinarily handsome young man, full of life, to a man who's tortured by his own shortcomings,'' says Scorsese, who adds that he and DiCaprio now have a special shorthand together. ''It's almost getting like telepathy,'' says the director. The two other actors with whom Scorsese says he shares such a bond? ''De Niro and Keitel.''

I am going to be having my basement finished and want to use spray foam o the walls. When is the best time to do the spray foam? Before anything is done or after the framing is done? Or is some other time best? Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Applicators tell me it doesn't matter. But I prefer to have it sprayed on before the framing so there's no impediments to an even application. However, the home shouldn't be occupied till all obvious gas fumes have dissipated. The spray doesn't provide better results than foam board but is faster. However, it's a lot more expensive than if you diy with foamboard or can find capable labour to do it. And there's always the lingering doubt over safety. |

... or anyone else who has planted vines against a fence, really.
Alison, I was doing some searches on Gardenweb for various plant types and I came across a post of yours from last year showing your urban garden in early spring, and then later in the season. I noticed that you had looped what looks like heavy garden twine up and around the top rail of your wooden fence to train sweet autumn clematis and nasturtiums vertically. I'd like to do something similar this year, but I wanted to ask how you have those attached to the ground. Are they just tied to a wooden stake? I'm trying to figure out a way for me to do something similar, but in such a manner that it will hold up to the, um, "scrutiny" of a very helpful, 87-lb., furry garden "assistant." :) Any suggestions? TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do use simple garden twine. When I first moved here, I put nails, evenly spaced, on the top of the top stile, and the bottom of the bottom, with an inch or so sticking up. Every spring I run the string top to bottom in "v's", wrapping the string once or twice around each nail. At the end of the summer, I simply cut the twine, bundle the vines in the string and toss the whole things in the trash. Ocassionally, a string will snap during the summer, but it's pretty easy to patch The big autumn clematis that goes up the back steps grows on a long length of snow fencing. The top and the bottom of the lengths are wrapped around a 2"x2". the top is wired to the top of the fire escape, but the bottom simply hangs. The 2"x2" gives it enough weight and rigidity to hang well. (But it's kind of a pain to pull the strands of dead vine out in the spring.) Hope that helps. Don't know what to tell you about your "assistant". In my yard, I'm simply the slave with thumbs.... |
Alison, Your assistant looks like it needs another bottle of beer; low wages and fringe benefits makes for a lazy worker. |
Jim, I think that you're looking at the foreman there, not the assistant! *grin* I had two cats at the old house, along with the dog. The former stayed with my ex, the latter came with me to the new house. The cats definitely were in control of the house... the dog... us... and anything else they came across. On the other hand, they did NOT steal my tomatoes out of the garden like the dog does! :) Alison, thanks for the vine/twine information. I like the idea of leaving the nails in there and just cutting down the rest each fall--I wouldn't have thought about that as an option. Re: the snow fencing... does the sweet autumn clematis cover it completely so that it doesn't show? I have some access to black snow fencing for free, so I might do something similar to train it up the fence... hmm. |
Oh, yes, SAC covers it completely -- 4' x 25' -- usually completely covered by the end of June! Altho' last summer it was a bit skimpy. I'll be a bit more generous this year -- might actually fertilize the old dear this year! Frankie is most definitely the supervisor. He does like to be "hands-on" with some plants and the juice bar scraps for the compost. And he's all about cricket control. But beware if he catches you slacking off.... |
