http://www.linkedin.com/in/morgwai I'm a deep-server-side guy specializing in scalability and high availability of large distributed systems. I used to work at Google for 3.5 years where big-data and no-sql terms were coined. Designing, deploying and maintaining large-scale, complex systems on Google cloud was my daily bread. I have a very good ability of learning new technologies and analysing existing systems. My work at Filemedic is a good example: when I started I knew nothing about Android NDK except that it allows to use native c/c++ libs in android apps somehow. A month later I created an NDK-HOWTO for advanced users, reported several bugs in NDK itself and fixed few myself of which at least one was critical.

You say the problem isn't in your toss? There are several probable locations for your inability to get your weight properly into the ball.
1) Your upper body motion isn't good. That's hardly likely because any healthy person can swing a racket upwards without falling off to the side.
2) The lower body motion isn't good. There's hardly any to begin with. How could it possibly be your legs when you aren't even using them?
3) Your toss isn't where it should be, and your body is compensating by chasing it, resulting in your body weight going backwards prior to contact as opposed to forwards.
Look at your first video alone. I don't care if they're warmup serves. Anyone hitting warm up serves should easily be able to maintain their balance. You fall over on the first 3 serves, hit 1 or 2 reasonable ones, then hit one where you stumble COMPLETELY out of the frame. Whether you try to argue that it was just a warmup or an actual serve, YOU'RE WAY OFF BALANCE HITTING THE BALL. Were you serving in 30 mph winds? If not, then WHY are you falling off to the side? This needs to be addressed before you think about landing further into the court.

Look at the first video alone and look at the difference in the depth of your toss. The ones where you get the ball 1-2 feet into the court results in a relatively balanced finish.
Then there are the ones that hover above the baseline, or even BEHIND the baseline, and you fall backwards (whether it be away from the baseline or deeper into the ad side).
Now, from the rear view, there are balls that fly well off to the left on you, and you still hit them. This should never happen if you, in-fact, have a good toss. When a toss flies that far off, catch it, and put it back up where it should be. Want proof of astray tosses? Second batch, third video, 1:00. First batch, first video, 0:55. First batch, second video, 1:00. First batch, second video, 1:10. First batch, third video, 1:45.
Now for the inconsistency of your depth? Let's look at the first and second videos of your second batch.
7 serves were hit in the first video.
1st was bad. 2nd was good. 3rd was good. 4th was bad. 5th was horrible. 6th was bad. 7th was bad.
9 serves were hit in the second video.
You failed to get a single toss inside the baseline, had a few floating BEHIND the baseline. The only one you came out almost completely on balanced was the one hit at 0:55. The one right after at 1:00 came close, but you were still finishing to your left. Neither had a toss behind the baseline (were above the baseline).
If you meticulously took down the data from these 6 videos, I guarantee you that there will be an approximate function that shows (with some outlying pieces of data, as with any real world set of data) that says the farther off your toss is, the farther to the left you fall.
There's 2 criteria for having a good toss:
1) It's consistent
2) It ALWAYS gets to EXACTLY where it needs to be
Your toss has neither of these characteristics.
How do you not see how I can say you have a bad toss? Because it leaves your hand? Because it stays within the reach of your racket? Because you consistently get strings on the ball? I'm confused how you could even have the illusion of having a good toss BEFORE even filming yourself. I'm even more confused how you can stubbornly believe that lie even AFTER seeing yourself on film. You HAVE seen your serve videos right? You HAVE attempted to analyze them yourself before you submitted them to us right? Or are you trying to have us do all the work in analyzing it then selecting the bits you like and throwing out the truths you deem ugly? Or are you going to just deny it under the pretense that they were just "warm ups"?
You want to get more pop into your serve and land farther into the court?
Lean into the court a bit with your hips. Instead, you have them sitting in the middle of your legs. Why do you not lead with your hips? 1) You've probably never been told to do so, and 2) it seems VERY stupid to lean your hips forward to hit a ball that is right above you, and it IS stupid. So your body sits back so you don't get that awkward situation where your body is a foot or two in front of the ball during contact.
You want to land into the court?
Look how far into these two lean into the court with their hips. Look at where their toss is. Look at their contact. Compare that to yours. They launch their upper bodies into the court. You launch yours backwards. The most significant differences between your serves? The toss and the hip action. Their tosses are in the court, yours is either above the baseline or behind the court (not even in a consistent location either). Their hips lean WAY into the court and in front of their bodies. Your hips sit in the middle of your feet. There's a cause and effect for everything. The cause of your problems is your toss. You want the quickest way to improve your serve? Improve your toss. That alone will improve your serve since you can more efficiently channel the energy of your motion directly into the ball. After that, lean into the court with your hips, creating a larger load of energy to be directed into the ball.
How can you look at your service motion and say that there is anything wrong with it other than your toss? Your serve has nothing else that needs to be changed. Your motion is a solid base with which to add little improvements to (knee action, leading with the hip, shoulder rotation). But you can't do that efficiently without first improving your toss. You can have a great serve if you have a great toss and a bad motion. Even if you have a great motion, if you have a bad toss, it's all wasted and becomes a bad serve.

And if it is successful, it will save the $7800 annual cost
of emptying them.
The catch for parents is that they can expect whatever
rubbish their children take to school in the morning will
arrive home with them in the afternoon.
The scheme is being promoted by the college's Team Green
Principal Wayne Bosley told the Otago Daily Times this
week any savings that result will go into other
sustainability projects.
Mr Bosley said the idea was for people to take ''total
responsibility'' for rubbish.
''We have set ourselves the goal of trying to become bin-free
by some stage this year.''
He agreed the scheme was a variation on the ''leave nothing
but footprints'' policy encouraged among visitors to New
Zealand's National Parks.
''It's just trying to turn around an age-old issue about
litter in schools.''
Those seen ''doing the right thing'' by picking up other
people's litter will be issued with a ''gotcha'' card and go
into a prize draw.
Mr Bosley said there were logistical problems to solve before
the school went bin-free but there had already been a big
He was not aware of any other school being bin-free.
Team Green's research revealed it took 252 hours a year to
empty the college's bins and even then there was still litter
Wanaka Primary School is taking another approach to its
litter problem.
Principal Wendy Bamford said the school was trying to
convince parents not to send food wrappings to school but to
use recyclable containers for lunches.
That way children would not drop food wrappings during the
rush to the playground at lunch time or while playing, she
''If the lunch boxes are coming to school without wrappers,
then half your problem's eliminated.''

At least 11 persons were injured on Friday, in a lathicharge on villagers opposing land acquisition for the proposed steel project of Posco in Dhinkia area of Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district.
The police resorted to lathi-charge when residents of Gobindpur village came out to prevent the administration from destroying their betel vineyards to acquire land for the project. Sixteen vineyards were pulled down in the land acquisition exercise that was resumed after two weeks.
Prashant Paikray, spokesperson, Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, said the State government had resorted to forcible land acquisition.
"The betel vine owners were beaten up and their vineyards destroyed at gunpoint," Mr. Paikray said. A goon also joined the police action and beat up one person, he alleged. The villagers, opposing establishment of the proposed steel mill, had observed Black Day on June 22.
The Naveen Patnaik government had on June 22, 2005 signed a memorandum of understanding with Posco for the steel project. The MoU that expired in June 2010 has not been renewed so far.

Super bowl 1/31/14
by Thee Ted Smith
posted Jan 31 2014 3:21PM
It is Friday and a very Blue Friday since the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl this Sunday. Now as I have stated before I am a Redskins fan being as I grew up in the DC area (Shout out to PG County) l am though caught up in the Seahawks fun. I have lived in the city for nine years and for me I am pumped to see all the people of this town get a Super Bowl win. As a season ticket holder for the Seattle Sounders FC I have also put in a lot of time at the C-Link myself and know how ready this city is for a champion. I am also fired up for Seattle to win for many reason's but has to be for just how much fun the city is right now. People are in it to win it together and I don't know that I have ever seen this town more fired up then right now. My thoughts on the game are very simple I have always believed that defense and running the ball wins championships and I think that will prove true in this game and after a hard fought game the Hawks pull out a gutty win in the fourth quarter. Also I believe that the kickers will play a important part in the Super Bowl. Clearly special teams are always part of the game but I feel they will have a huge impact in the Seahawks winning on Sunday. So enjoy the day and the game and be safe, but most important for this weekend is Go Hawks

Product description
In the 1980s, philosophical, historical and social studies of science underwent a change which later evolved into a turn to practice. Analysts of science were asked to pay attention to scientific practices in meticulous detail and along multiple dimensions, including the material, social and psychological. Following this turn, the interest in scientific practices continued to increase and had an indelible influence in the various fields of science studies. No doubt, the practice turn changed our conceptions and approaches of science, but what did it really teach us? What does it mean to study scientific practices? What are the general lessons, implications, and new challenges? This volume explores questions about the practice turn using both case studies and theoretical analysis. The case studies examine empirical and mathematical sciences, including the engineering sciences. The volume promotes interactions between acknowledged experts from different, often thought of as conflicting, orientations. It presents contributions in conjunction with critical commentaries that put the theses and assumptions of the former in perspective. Overall, the book offers a unique and diverse range of perspectives on the meanings, methods, lessons, and challenges associated with the practice turn.

Review quote
"This is a terrific collection, which has brought together contributions by the people who have thought hardest about practices in science. It is essential reading for anyone who employs this problematic concept in the study of science. Its special virtue is that it brings social studies of science and the philosophy of science back together, and in a fruitful and interesting way." -- Stephen Turner, University of South Florida, USA

text: Wendell Castle, one of America's most important contemporary furniture makers, has had several distinct stylistic phases in his career. At first he employed both exotic and native American woods to produce furniture characterized by biomorphic forms and attenuated surrealism. By the 1960s, he had begun experimenting with plastic and fiberglass to create seamless organic designs. In the 1980s, he became fascinated with Post-Modernism and produced highly architectural, polychromatic designs. In 2007 he received the Brooklyn Museum/Modernism Lifetime Achievement Award. The Nirvana chair was a gift of the artist in acknowledgment of the Museum's ongoing commitment to his work.

Really beautiful theme!
I apologize for my ignorance but how do you add videos on the site? Do you embed code from 3rd party sites or upload .flv into wordpress?
Awesome theme btw!
Very excited to see this! Purchasing now.
hey matt this might be what im looking for. if i buy this, do i need anything else to get it working?
if i dont want to link let say facebook, can i hide the icon?
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you guys are liking it!
@rramroop: I assumed most people would be using a video hosting service, but you could definitely use your own content as well. There's no player bundled with the theme, but adding one wouldn't be a huge undertaking. This had crossed my mind, but I'm tight on time at the moment and left that feature on the wish list.
@TMW: All of the buttons in the header are conditional, with the exception of the feed icon. So if you don't enter a URL for them, they don't show up.
Really like this Matt, infact you have inspired me to make some gaming themes!
Really nice, keep up the good work!
How detailed are the instructions for installing this and actual implementation – please advise
Is really a good idea, I'm trying to discern just how complete this actually is. Keep up the great work.
@drmedia1:You can now read the help documentation on the demo site.
Hey Matt..Great theme..
I'll change my movie trailers sites theme soon and i think your theme is great for it..But i've a question..
I use movie posters for thumbnails on my home page and they are like 166*250 for now..You can see here: Gösterimde
If i want to change the thumbnail sizes to sth else to fit a poster size(except the hero image) is this broke theme layout ?
I forgot to mention sth else..
The dropdown menus in the header hides behind the videos on single pages..Im using FF 3 .0.11..Is there a solution for it..
And lately about the question i asked above..Its enough if the sub-feature and thumbnail images are fits poster dimensions..Hero and sidekick images fine this way..
Thnx again..

Biological Factors that May Contribute to Regional and Racial Disparities in HIV Prevalence.
Summary of "Biological Factors that May Contribute to Regional and Racial Disparities in HIV Prevalence."
Citation Kaul R, Cohen CR, Chege D, Yi TJ, Tharao W, McKinnon LR, Remis R, Anzala O, Kimani J. Biological factors that may contribute to regional and racial disparities in HIV prevalence. Am J Reprod Immunol 2011 Despite tremendous regional and subregional disparities in HIV prevalence around the world, epidemiology consistently demonstrates that black communities have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. There are many reasons for this, and a narrow focus on socio-behavioural causes may be seen as laying blame on affected communities or individuals. HIV sexual transmission is very inefficient, and a number of biological factors are critical in determining whether an unprotected sexual exposure to HIV results in productive infection. This review will focus on ways in which biology, rather than behaviour, may contribute to regional and racial differences in HIV epidemic spread. Specific areas of focus are viral factors, host genetics, and the impact of co-infections and host immunology. Considering biological causes for these racial disparities may help to destigmatize the issue and lead to new and more effective strategies for prevention.

Biological Factors
Endogenously-synthesized compounds that may influence biological phenomena or represent quantifiable biomarkers. Biological factors are a variety of extracellular substances that are not otherwise classified under ENZYMES; HORMONES or HORMONE ANTAGONISTS
Biological Products
Complex pharmaceutical substances, preparations, or agents of organic origin, usually obtained by biological methods or assay. They are used especially in diagnosis and treatment of disease (as vaccines or pollen extracts). Biological products are differentiated from BIOLOGICAL FACTORS in that the latter are compounds with biological or physiological activity made by living organisms. (From Webster's 3d ed)
Hematopoietic Cell Growth Factors
These growth factors comprise a family of hematopoietic regulators with biological specificities defined by their ability to support proliferation and differentiation of blood cells of different lineages. ERYTHROPOIETIN and the COLONY-STIMULATING FACTORS belong to this family.

For the first time in Baylor history, ESPN College GameDay broadcasts live from Waco as the No. 6 Bears prepare to take on No. 9 Kansas State.
Tag "ESPN"
Sports media is dominated by ESPN. Its round-the-clock coverage on Sportscenter, paired with its engaging talk shows, such as "First Take" and "Pardon the Interruption," constantly serves multitudes of sports fans around the world.
Though ESPN has always been my go-to channel when turning on the TV, lately it's been disappointing.
Baylor could face NCAA sanctions after a three-year investigation revealed the men's and women's basketball programs made 738 impermissible text messages and 528 impermissible phone calls to recruits.
"They said it was the biggest pro day of all time at Baylor."
March Madness. Get your pencils ready to fill out a bracket, or 17, read up Sports Illustrated and watch countless hours of Sportscenter to have a better chance of winning the pool … of Oreos … that you aren't betting on.
It's one thing to have a strong opinion on a certain issue. It's another to sacrifice something to further that cause.
Hopefully students did not pick Monday to avoid Fountain Mall. Anyone who did missed something that may not happen again at Baylor for a long time.
Well done, Baylor Nation.
Despite the loss by men's basketball to Kansas last week, the Ferrell Center sold out last Saturday for the game against now No. 2 Missouri.
College football's regular season is coming to an end, and bowl projections are starting to surface.
In the first meeting of the two teams since the 2009 NIT semifinals, No. 11 Baylor (3-0) used a second-half push to surge past the San Diego State Aztecs (3-1) by a score of 77-67 Tuesday at the Ferrell Center.

US stocks rise as earnings season kicks off
popular .
NEW YORK CITY—US stocks Monday ended higher as investors looked forward to the kickoff of earnings season.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 88.85 (0.59 percent) to 15,224.69.
The broad-based S&P 500 increased 8.57(0.53 percent) to 1,640.46, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index added 5.45 (0.16 percent) to 3,484.83.
Investors were not expecting specially impressive earnings for the second quarter.
Current forecasts suggest profit growth of just 0.8 percent and revenue growth of only 1.2 percent from S&P 500 companies, said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare.
However, investors will focus more on what companies say about the rest of the year, analysts said. The hope is that Friday's strong jobs report and other recent indicators of economic improvement will translate into better earnings in the second half of 2013.
"Investors realize we did not have blockbuster growth in the first half, but they are focused on the quarters ahead," said Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management. "The stock market is forward-looking."
Leading banks scored outsized gains, including Citigroup (up 2.0 percent) Wells Fargo (up 1.8 percent) and Bank of America (up 1.7 percent). The gains followed a bullish report from Raymond James, which sees stronger asset quality fueling earnings growth in the sector, according to Barrons.com.
Retail giant Walmart also had a good day, rising 2 percent.
Dow component Intel dropped 3.6 percent following a downcast note from Citigroup that predicted weak profits in light of the declining personal computer market.
Alcoa, traditionally first to report quarterly earnings, rose 11 cents (1.4 percent) to $7.92 during the day and was flat after releasing its second quarter figures, which came in with earnings of 7 cents per share, one cent above expectations. Profits fell from the first quarter due to lower aluminum prices.
Computer company Dell jumped 3.1 percent to $13.34 after the closely watched Institutional Shareholders Services advisory group endorsed a proposed transaction led by Dell founder Michael Dell to take the company private. The offer would pay $13.65 per share.
Thomson Reuters rose 0.2 percent after announcing that it would suspend the early release of key economic data to high-speed traders. The move comes in response to an investigation by the New York state attorney general on whether the release of the data gives an unfair advantage to buyers of the high-priced service.
Bond prices rose. The 10-year Treasury fell to 2.64 percent compared with 2.71 percent Friday. The yield on the 30-year bond declined to 3.64 percent from 3.68 percent. Bond prices and yields move inversely.

We just checked in and I wanted to share our first impressions. The condo is lovely, exactly as pictured. It does sleep eight, three of the bedrooms have private baths - quite a luxury. The baths are lovely even by US standards. One of the beds is actually kind of in an opening down the hallway - no privacy and that person needs to be the first to wake up because it is right next to the kitchen. There is even a bath for that room. The views, the property are all beautiful. There is a grill by the beach so we look forward to doing some cooking and eating outside. We had a very friendly greeting upon arrival.
The negatives so far are that the treadmills aren't working, a big disappointment to some in our group who got up early in the first day to exercise. If there is a hot tub, it doesn't work - also disappointing for our crew who went to find it in their suits on the first night. Only the master bedroom has curtains, which our college kids on break are not happy about because they were hoping to catch up on sleep. A lot of VRBOs have games for people to play while they stay there and we have only seen a deck of cards. These are the things we love to know ahead of time so we can pack/plan accordingly.
We have already talked to Alex who seems very responsive and we trust will help us with any issues in our condo. This spot is lovely, our divers are excited to head out tomorrow and we are sure to enjoy a week in paradise.
Everything was perfect! Great place to have the complete family! The staff was very attentive to every need! Darwin made cocktail's and dinner for us -he was great! Nice views of the ocean and cruise ships coming and going! The condo had everything but the washer died before we arrived there and the manager offered to take our clothes to the laundry. The maid also did a excellent job. Security was on the ball! Will return!
The condo was awesome. No complaints. Well the a/c in the living room was low on coolant but they sent someone to fix it asap. The employees were so nice, oh and the chef... did such an awesome job on our food. I would definitely stay here again. Going in November but this condo is not available and my kids want to stay here again but I have to crush their spirits. Obviously we would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Spent a day at Mr Sanchos, a Sunday chillin there at the condo and had the chef grill some asada for us, and spent another day at Chankanaab. Oh and there's a little taco shop called Machete and OMG.... YUMMOLICIOUS!!! Tacos are the bomb.com Cozumel is our favorite vacation spot. The one thing I wish they could change is the tv language. It's all in Spanish and my kids were fine with watching Disney Channel in Spanish, they just had my husband translate some :) Other than the tiny minor things, It was a GREAT PLACE TO STAY!!!!
The unit was beautiful and the view was amazing! Just wish there were some activities in and around the pool in the evenings.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a beautiful condo. It is exactly like it looks in the pictures! It is about a half hour walk or 3 minute drive into town. Olympic sized pool. Snorkeling can be done right out in front of the condo, though the current can vary and at times is quite strong there. The front desk/security staff is very pleasant and helpful. We have rented multiple times and have had only good experiences from reservation to check out.

Key Moment: Aqib Talib's 59-yard interception return for touchdown in Patriots debut
Posted By WEEI On November 18, 2012 @ 7:29 pm In General | 4 Comments
For the Patriots, the key moment in Sunday's 59-24 win over the Colts came with 11:18 remaining in the second quarter. The Patriots had tied the game at 14-14 less than a minute earlier on Julian Edelman's 68-yard punt return for a TD when the Colts faced a second-and-1 at their own 31-yard line.
Vince Wilfork [1] (who had a terrific game with a pair of tipped passes and two hits on Colts QB Andrew Luck [2]) was able to get through the middle and put pressure on Luck on the second-down play, and the quarterback perhaps rushed and threw high over the middle to an open Reggie Wayne [3]. The ball went right in the hands of Aqib Talib [4] (making his debut with the Patriots), who hauled in the pass at the Colts' 41-yard line. Talib quickly made Dwayne Allen miss with a cut to his right and got to the outside, cutting back to the middle of the field and crossing over to the left side before finding the end zone for his fourth career touchdown. Talib was helped by Steve Gregory [5], who had a block on Wayne inside the 10-yard line.
Luck and the Colts were having considerable success on offense before the Talib pick and score, putting up 14 points in the first quarter. But they struggled as a unit after the play, scoring just 10 points the rest of the game as Luck often looked uncomfortable, turning the ball over three times, including an 87-yard INT TD return for Alfonzo Dennard.

TINNINS, TEXAS. Tinnins was on a bend in the Red River and just off Farm Road 197, sixteen miles northeast of Paris in north central Lamar County. The settlement was named for Lawrence W. Tinnin, who settled in the area around 1835 near a low-water crossing on the river. At one time the site had a school, a gin, and a number of houses, but by the 1930s Tinnins no longer appeared on highway maps.

Fear Of Doctors & Symptom
Posted 15 September 2011 - 02:44 PM
[this part is a rant, move on to the next paragraph for my question] I have a fear of doctors. It's not a phobia, it's more of an extreme dislike for doctors because I've never met any who have helped, really. In the past, I've had doctors laugh at me (even though I was having an allergic reaction to an over the counter drug, I was just told 'so, stop taking it then' with a sly laugh as if I didn't know that's what I had to do already). My family doctor has said to me 'well, we'll have to find a solution for you' when I explained I eat so many vegetables and so much fruit but I still experience chronic constipation ... then she walked out and moved on to the next patient. And I've had a psychiatrist who didn't let me talk at all, but instead lectured me (without ever getting to know me). So it's only three instances, but I have family and friends tell me it's all in my head all the time, but it;s really really not. because otherwise I would be able to at least get distracted and to function properly. Whether it;s celiac or not.. I know my tiredness is not normal.
So since I haven't been to a doctor to get tested, I want to know whether any of you experience this very "distinctive" symptom. About half an hour to an hour after I eat ... ANYTHING it seems, my arms and legs feel weak and I feel like there's poison cursing through them. That is the best way I can describe it.
I haven't been able to try a gluten-free elimination diet because I live in a very unsupportive environment, so totally gluten free is out of the question unless I keep my own dishes and dish sponge in my own room etc.... I am considering this though because I am in so much pain and am so tired all the time.
Sometimes I'm made to feel like I'm lying. my mother tells me this is what life is like and I have to get used to it, but I don't know how she can say that... she doesn't know what Igo through. I have bowel movements once a week if I take natural laxes. My stomach always hurts, my sides hurt (but I've had my kidneys checked, they seem fine). I am just so depressed and I am not willing to live life this tired.....

As much as you hate doctors, I would see one so you can get a correct diagnosis. And maybe it would help convince your mom that you aren't making this up. I have no idea where you live, but you can look up a lot of doctors online and get reviews. There are some honest reviews of docs here, too.
If your family isn't supportive (and they sure don't sound like they are), I would try to find out if there is a Celiac support group in your area.
Unfortunately, you are not the only one who has to deal with unsupportive family. I've heard of lots of other people with celiac disease who have a very difficult time communicating with their family. I think it all boils down to ignorance and lack of empathy.
Let us know where you live and hopefully someone can help you. Best of luck.

does anyone else have any ideas of how to help hellopixies90?
I don't even know what to say but know how hellopixies feels. I have a real problem with doctors myself and only go when I absolutely have to. That's about once every 3 years and I still hate it. I have been insulted, bitched at, you name it yet it turned out I did have celiac and I was the only one who was right. This is all too common today and it has to stop!
The only thing I can think of is do you have another relative you can talk to and get them to help you out? Have them talk to your mother and try to explain how sick you feel and that you need help and support? You also need help finding a decent doctor and that is very difficult, at times. I am 52 and still am not 100% satisfied with the one I have now. If I keep changing them as often as I have in the past, they will think I am a whackadoodle! Is it possible for you to find a mentor to help? Trust me, I know how you feel. Support for a Celiac isn't always forthcoming from family members.

With the doctor, you don't have to tell them too much, you don't have to have a big discussion, you can just say: I want to be tested for celiac disease. Look up symptoms if you have to (this has a good, long list: http://glutenfreewor.../symptom-guide/ ). Bring the entire list if you have to.
If they say you don't need it, you can just repeat: I want to have this test done. The only way I'm going to be persuaded I don't have this is to get this test done. I don't want to argue about it, I just want this test done.
That sort of thing. Because you're not looking to persuade any doctor that you have this, you just want the test, right? so their opinion doesn't matter AT ALL. They just need to be willing to ask for the test. You might be more able to do this at an urgent care, potentially, if you say that you don't have a regular doctor (and you don't now, really, it sounds like).
Also, if there are any celiac groups in your area, some of them will do free celiac tests once or twice a year at gluten free faires. At the very least, they might have some ideas for doctors that are more willing to order the tests, or know of any other health practitioner that might be able to.
Normally, I'm not big on needing to test, if you're willing to try the diet, but in the situation you are in, it sounds like you need some help to persuade your family to start taking your issues seriously.

Your post nearly made me cry. (I may still cry yet.) This is my first visit to this forum, and my first post. I'm new to this, so the suggestions I've seen here are helpful for me too (thanks everyone!). If nothing else, I wanted to let you know you're not alone. I will say up front that I do not have a Celiac diagnosis and haven't been tested. I just know that gluten makes me feel like garbage and eliminating it from my diet made a huge difference for me.
I'm curious about your mom telling you that the pain & symptoms you're describing are just a normal part of life. It makes me wonder how long she's felt that way. Even if your mom/family aren't willing to try gluten free themselves, I don't see anything wrong with creating a "gluten free" safe area in the home and keeping your things separate. If you're able to buy your own food, that would help. You might also try getting more involved in meal planning & preparation. Many foods are naturally gluten free.
I know this is tough without support. My friends, family & even my husband had a few eye-rolls when I decided to go gluten free. It's not that they're uncaring, just unaware. I think they saw it as a phase, or a diet that I should be able to just "suspend" for a day to enjoy their special gluten packed meal. I stayed positive, and kept gently reminding them that my food choices did not personally impact them or alter what they could eat - even in front of me. I reassured them that I didn't expect them to change anything for me. My only expectation is that they allow me to be myself and take care of my own needs. If it comes down to it, I'd rather endure a few negative jibes than deal with gluten symptoms. As they've watched me begin to feel better, they've become more supportive and interested in gluten-free. I hope this happens for you with your family too.
I sought help for my symptoms years ago, & had doctors smirk, chuckle and outright laugh, telling me I couldn't possibly have Celiac because I'm overweight. No matter what other symptoms I had, because I don't have the "classic" symptom of weight loss, the test was deemed "unnecessary." I was told to lose weight, exercise more and, yes, to eat more whole grains. Following this advice I got sicker, with symptoms ranging from the feeling of being "poisoned" you described, to confusion & difficulty concentrating. My doctor prescribed me ADD medicine, suggesting it might also help me lose weight & have more energy. A year later, I was even heavier, my asthma was out of control, I had constant infections, digestive problems, and over the top anxiety for no apparent reason.
2 months ago, I saw a story about Celiac & its more uncommon symptoms, including weight gain (who knew?) and a whole host of things that were happening to me. I started researching more about Celiac, gluten free lifestyle, side effects, nutritional needs and just reading others' stories & experiences. I looked for doctors that might be more knowledgeable about diagnosing Celiac (and open to testing a chubby girl rather than just laughing her out of the office). In the end, I really dreaded getting the same dismissive, "Haha, no you're just a fat hypochondriac" treatment.
I decided to just try eliminating gluten to see what happened. That was a little over a month ago. I've lost 17 pounds (not "dieting" - only 1 major lifestyle change at a time, please), and am feeling better than I have in a very long time. Not "Yippie! Let's do cartwheels" better, but steadily improving. So for me, the test and an "official" diagnosis don't matter anymore. Whatever the outcome might have been, I know I won't intentionally consume gluten again. There is no food/product & no person's approval that is worth feeling that badly.
Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to share some of what I went through & how I tried to deal with it. Bottom line is, you're the only one who can take care of you. Do what you need to do to get healthy, and as long as they're not actively interfering, don't worry about naysayers. Your health is more valuable than their approval.
I wish you the best and hope you're able to start feeling better soon.

I just want to add that you can find comfort on this site by just having someone to talk to who cares about you and understands.
Like so many celiacs I too don't trust doctors. It took me 12 years of seeing doctor after doctor and getting no relief. Even when I could not walk, had to close my business, could not drive, and was from a wheelchair to a cane, totally bedridden I was told it was all in my head. Well, it was actually in my stomach!
I think that we know our bodies better than any person with MD, Phd, LCSW, behind their name. Trust what your body is telling you. You might not be able to go totally gluten free but you can make the choice to not eat wheat, barely, rye and oats.
However, you should not eliminate gluten from your diet before you get tested for Celiac Disease.
Get tested as soon as you can. It would help you to know your diagnosis. Second, with a diagnosis your family my be more supportive. But if they are not don't let it worry you. Lastly, the disease often causes anemia, Vit. D deficiency, thyroid problems and more. You need to know what deficiencies you have and what if any other autoimmune diseases you have so you can manage those. So you need to ask for a CMP, CPK, CBC, Thyroid Panel, Vit D levels, Iron Panel at a minimum in addition to the Celiac Panel. A gastroenterologist, a good hematologist and/or a endocrinologist can run all of those when Celiac is suspected.
Doctors do have their place in our care. I only go to the doctor for testing to help me manage my thyroid, vit. D levels and thyroid. Other than that they are useless to me. Doctors don't know how to make you well, they know how to write prescriptions. They are not trained about Celiac Disease because their is no Rx to write for it, therefore, they are not getting any training from the pharmaceutical companies about it.
Remember, because they are relatives does not mean they have our best interest at heart. Relatives can do more harm to you, because you trust them and expect that they will care for you. Trust yourself and God. Sweetheart, you can survive this and get better.
The best of luck to you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care of yourself.
