sickofit added a post in a topic SmptomsI did not know all of this stuff was food related until I fasted for 5 days and never felt better in my life! I still could not get well even on celiac diet as my immune system was so messed up. I now cannot eat anything that is artificial-colors, flavors, preservatives, etc. My white cells attack my joints when I've eaten something bad and of course when we have so many things wrong all the docs think we are crazy, mine did too. I was ready for suicide and had all those barium tests that showed nothing wrong. Elizabeth that is on the show The View found she was celiac when she was first on the TV show The Survivor and had to fast for 3 days. Everyone else was weak and she felt wonderful. It is not that hard to fast and I would start there. Shingles is an immune problem too.
sickofit added a post in a topic A Used BreadmakerMost of us live with gluten people and have to share the kitchen. If we can wash and share the dishes and silverware I don't see why you can't clean the breadmaker. I'd put the basket thru the dishwasher.
sickofit added a post in a topic Lets See Who Can Answer This One?Are you eating anything new that you had not eaten before the gluten-free diet? This could be a food intolerance or a yeast die-off if you've eliminated sugar and flours. You could try fasting or eating things you are not now eating for a few days (at least 3) to see. We all seem to get the strangest symptoms, I now have what feels like water sloshing in one ear, I've had this off and on before and when I had a doctor she never could see anything in my ear. I have not had gluten but I have lots of food intolerances. I've had the drunk feeling and once slurred my words all day. Thought I was having a stroke! I'd give it another week and if still doing this see your doc.
sickofit added a post in a topic Half Moons On FingernailsWow, someone else crying alot! I have all of your symtoms but have been able to get control over the crying (someones for days straight) by eliminating sugar and simple carbs. I can now eat some if I eat with fiber and protein. Otherwise, can eat chips, potato or corn, and burst into tears in an hour over absolutely anything, even watching the news! I spent 6 months on a psychiatric ward when I was 16 (I'm now 60) and no one knew it was the candy bars I was eating all day to make myself feel better. They put me there as I would slit my wrists and cut myself to get the hurt out. Your rational mind is right on, but it is not silly, it is an imbalance.
sickofit added a post in a topic Weight Loss Suppourt Thread (shannonl) And Any Others Who Want To JoinI'm new but would like to chime in! I'm too skinny as I don't eat enuf carbs, so need help too. What you ate today sounds wonderful, was your snack before 8pm? I understand our body does not digest after that until the next morning. Also, don't know tinkyada pasta, I don't think I've seen it at my healthfood store (Oregon) but will check again. And what is pcos and how do you test your blood sugar? Thanks, K.
sickofit added a post in a topic New Celiac With Yeast Infections - Help!Well, here's another one, so I think your doc is wrong. I first started with the candida diet having no idea about gluten. When that cleared up but I still could not get well I just had to start looking around. I would think that most celiacs WOULD have yeast infections because our immune system and our intestines are impaired. What are you doing for all of it?
sickofit added a post in a topic Candida?So did I, dropped to 94lbs at 5'4", but you have to do it. It really is just the basics, meat and veggies. Dr. Crook says not even fruit to start because of the sugar. He does have recipes, I have all of his books and the cookbook but I'll bet there is a lot on the web. I have been able to get 10lbs back on now that I have been able to add back some carbs.
sickofit added a post in a topic I Found gluten-free Tomato SauceI thought that coke had gluten because it has caramel coloring and caramel can have gluten. Anyone know for sure?
sickofit added a post in a topic Feeling Terrible AgainKnow how you feel. I have had the watery stuff lots., but never sure from what as I react to so many things. Do you have other food intolerances? The only thing I know how to do is drink lots of water all day to get the bad stuff out of my system. Hope some of the experts on here have some better ideas!
sickofit added a post in a topic What Should I Call "it"That is wonderful! We need a sense of humor with this, don't we?
sickofit added a post in a topic What Should I Call "it"The book Dangerous Grains says Celiac sprue and gluten sensivity are different, but the symtoms are the same. So you have gluten sensitivity, rather than being a celiac. I don't know which one I am, just know I can't eat it!
sickofit added a post in a topic Maize?Funny, you got 2 replies at the same time! At least we said the same thing.
sickofit added a post in a topic Maize?hi, maize is corn, so if you can do corn you can do maize. There is no gluten in it.
sickofit added a post in a topic Just Starting To Get Un-gluedBoy, getting the yeast out can really make you sick for awhile with brain fogs and headaches. Have you read any of Dr William Crooks books on yeast and candida? You will get sick from the die-off of the yeast and feel worse before you feel better, so don't give up! Undiagnosed gluten sensitivity seems to make us sensitive to lots of other things. I'm allergic to alot of things in make-up, can't wear any lipstick because of the artificial color so use Bert's Bee's, it is all natural. Can do some Almay, Clinique I do better with. Sometimes I feel I need to be a chemist to figure this stuff out. Got sick from balsalmic vinegar then read elsewhere that is has naturally occurring sulfites and I react to all sulfites and nitrates. There could be hidden gluten, labels hide things. Found out there was barley in one of my rice milks, and of course it was not listed, but is used as an added protein. I use Clinique eyeliner, some of the others swell my eyes shut! If you react, just switch, we will probably never know everything that is hidden in the stuff we eat and use, very poor laws.
sickofit added a post in a topic My Plan Now......You were getting 2 bad things from the apple fritter. Sugar also causes brain fog and lethargy after the initial feel good rush. Dr. Frank Lawlis (he consults for Dr. Phil's show) wrote a book called The IQ Answer that explains how we can actually help our children do better in school and increase their IQ by changing their diet and eliminating sugar.

Why? Because a SAX-like API would be more favorable to | the programming community at large. Especially for a streaming | interface. Well, I am not in disagreement -- the bytecode API breaks a very nice (transfer, anchor, style, data) reporting unit into a bunch of parts, and this puts extra burden on the sender and receiver. However, for an API that keeps all of these peices together, I think we can do better than a SAX-like API, see below. | start_stream() | end_stream() | start_document(directives) | end_document() | start_mapping(type_uri, anchor, style) | end_mapping() | start_sequence(type_uri, anchor, style) | end_sequence() | append_scalar(string, buffer_complete, type_uri, anchor, style) | anchor_alias(anchor) typedef struct yaml_event { enum { BEGIN_STREAM, BEGIN_DOCUMENT, END_DOCUMENT, PAUSE_STREAM, BEGIN_MAPPING, END_MAPPING, BEGIN_SEQUENCE, END_SEQUENCE, APPEND_SCALAR, ALIAS } code; char *anchor; /* used by SCALAR, MAPPING, SEQUENCE, ALIAS */ char *transfer; /* used by SCALAR, MAPPING, SEQUENCE */ char *style; /* used by SCALAR, MAPPING, SEQUENCE */ char *chunk; /* used by SCALAR */ bool continued; /* used by SCALAR */ } * yaml_event_t; typedef enum { YAML_OK, YAML_E_MEMORY, YAML_E_WRITE, YAML_E_READ } yaml_error_t, typedef void * yaml_producer_t; typedef void * yaml_consumer_t; yaml_error_t (*yaml_push_t)(yaml_consumer_t self, yaml_event_t event); yaml_error_t (*yaml_pull_t)(yaml_producer_t self, yaml_event_t *event); /* * 1. In both cases, the producer owns the event's memory and buffer * 2. For the push case, the buffer is only valid for the length * of the event, it should be copied if desire to keep beyond this * 3. For the pull case, the buffer is valid till the next call * to the producer * 4. In either case, if the buffer is NULL then the stream has * finished * 5. In the push case, if the consumer returns a value which is * not YAML_OK, then the producer should abort and not continue * to push events. * 6. For the pull case, if the producer returns a value which * is not YAML_OK, then the consumer should not continue to * pull events. * 7. The actual event structure could be variable length, ie, * no reason why an ALIAS has to have space for the transfer, i * etc. Although it probably does not hurt. */ This sort of API, while keeping the "chunking" property of SAX, has several advantages over a SAX like API: 1. the difference between push and pull is very small, so that people can become quickly familiar with both and use the one that best fits their needs 2. there is only two APIs and one data structure to "wrap" for linking this with a higher level language; further events can be added by the library (new event code) without requiring additional functions be wrapped. 3. one can add a few more "fields" to the event_t structure to get a DOM like structure; and thus this API (sequential) becomes a subset of a more general random access API. 4. if you add a 'length' attribute into the data structure, you have a "binary" stream Anyway, this is very similar to my original proposal, before I tried to make the whole thing more "character" friendly. | Of course, a defined bytecode is still very useful. And it doesn't seem | all that difficult to parse a bytecode stream and report it with an API | like the one above. Yes. I think that they satisfy two entirely different constraints. However, I would rather have a "event structure" based API instead of a bunch of SAX-like events. Does this make sense, to you agree? Or what does SAX-like event handling give you that the above doesn't. Thanks, Clark

Aug. 31
1915 _ Jim Lavender of the Chicago Cubs pitched a 2-0 no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Giants.
1935 _ Vern Kennedy of the Chicago White Sox pitched a no-hitter to beat Cleveland 5-0. Kennedy also had a bases-loaded triple.
1937 _ Rudy York of the Tigers hit his 17th and 18th home runs of the month to set a major league record as Detroit beat Washington 12-3.
1950 _ Brooklyn's Gil Hodges tied a major league record by hitting four homers against the Boston Braves in the Dodgers' 19-3 rout. Hodges also added a single for 17 total bases and drove in nine runs. His first homer was a two-run shot off Warren Spahn in the second inning. He followed with a three-run homer in the third off Norman Roy and a two-run homer off Bob Hall in the sixth. Hodges had a single in the seventh and a two-run shot off Johnny Antonelli in the eighth. Carl Furillo was on base for each of the home runs. Brooklyn pitcher Carl Erskine singled in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings.
1959 _ Sandy Koufax of Los Angeles struck out 18 Giants for a National League record as the Dodgers beat San Francisco 5-2.
1974 _ In a Northwest League game, Portland manager Frank Peters rotated his players so each man played a different position each inning. The strategy worked for an 8-7 win over Tri-Cities.
1990 _ The Griffeys _ 20-year-old Ken Jr. and his dad, Ken, 40 _ made major league history, leading Seattle to a 5-2 victory over Kansas City. The Griffeys were the first father and son to play together in the big leagues.
2001 _ Pitcher Danny Almonte who dominated the Little League World Series with his 70 mph fastballs was ruled ineligible after government records experts determined he actually is 14, and that birth certificates showing he was two years younger were false. The finding nullified all the victories by his Bronx, N.Y., team, the Rolando Paulino Little League All-Stars, and wiped out all its records _ including Almonte's perfect game and an earlier no-hitter.
2004 _ Omar Vizquel went 6-for-7 to tie the American League record for hits for a nine-inning game in Cleveland's 22-0 victory over the New York Yankees. The 22-0 beating, was the largest loss in the history of the Yankees' organization. Cleveland matched the largest shutout win in the major leagues since 1900, set by Pittsburgh against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 16, 1975.
2005 _ Florida's Jeremy Hermida became the first player in more than a century and the second to hit a grand slam in his first major league at-bat, connecting in the seventh inning off the St. Louis Cardinals' Al Reyes.
2005 _ Albert Pujols hit an RBI triple in St. Louis' 10-5 victory over the Florida Marlins, giving him 100 RBIs this season. Pujols became the first player in major league history to hit at least 30 home runs and drive in 100 runs in his first five seasons in the majors.
2006 _ The Chicago White Sox became the first major league team to hit 200 home runs in seven straight seasons following A.J. Pierzynski's homer in a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay.
2007 _ Minnesota's Scott Baker came within three outs of a perfect game and two outs of a no-hitter, leading the Twins to a 5-0 win over the Kansas City Royals in the second game of a doubleheader. Baker walked John Buck to open the ninth and allowed a single to pinch-hitter Mike Sweeney. The 25-year-old right-hander recovered to get the one-hitter.
2008 _ Milwaukee's CC Sabathia pitched a one-hitter in his latest dominant start, allowing only an infield single by Andy LaRoche in the fifth inning of a 7-0 victory over Pittsburgh.

Is ur #MD 2 Square? Some Use E-Tech with Patients
CHICAGO (AP) - Is your doctor a technophobe? Increasingly, the answer may be no. There's a stereotype that says doctors shun technology that might threaten patients' privacy and their own pocketbooks. But a new breed of physicians is texting health messages to patients, tracking disease trends on Twitter, identifying medical problems on Facebook pages and communicating with patients through email.
So far, those numbers are small. Many doctors still cling to pen and paper, and are most comfortable using e-technology to communicate with each other - not with patients. But from the nation's top public health agency, to medical clinics in the heartland, some physicians realize patients want more than a 15-minute office visit and callback at the end of the day.
Far from Silicon Valley and East Coast high-tech hubs, Kansas City pediatrician Natasha Burgert offers child-rearing tips on her blog, Facebook and Twitter pages, and answers patients' questions by email and text messages.
"These tools are embedded in my work day," Burgert said. "This is something I do in between checkups. It's much easier for me to shoot you an email and show you a blog post than it is to phone you back. That's what old-school physicians are going to be doing, spending an hour at the end of the day" returning patients' phone calls, she said.
She recently received a typical email - from a mother wondering how to wean her 2-year-old from a pacifier. With a few thumb clicks, Burgert sent the mom a link to a blog post offering tips on that same topic.
Sarah Hartley, whose two young daughters are Burgert's patients, loves having e-access to the doctor and says even emails late in the evening typically get a quick response.
"It's so useful," Hartley said. "Sometimes parents get concerned about a lot of things that maybe aren't necessarily big deals" and getting off-hours reassurance is comforting, she said.
Burgert, 36, doesn't charge for virtual communication, although some doctors do. She says it enhances but doesn't replace office visits or other personal contact with patients.
Colleagues "look at me and kind of shake their heads when I tell them what I do. They don't have an understanding of the tools," Burgert said. "For the next generation that's coming behind me, I think this will be much more common."
Dr. Steven Nissen is from an older generation, but has started to dabble in e-technology. A cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, Nissen is in his 60s and says he's hardly a member of "the Twitterati." But with help from clinic staffers, he recently led a live Twitter chat about things like heart failure and cholesterol problems, and found the process "in some ways maybe a little exhilarating."
"This was an opportunity to use a different communication channel to find an audience to talk about heart health," Nissen said.
"The downside is that we dumb it down," he said. "It's very challenging for physicians, primarily because the messages that we have are not conducive to 14 characters. If you ask me a question, you're likely to get a five-minute answer."
But with so many young people facing obesity, which can contribute to heart problems, Nissen said Twitter can be an effective way to reach an important audience, and he plans to use it more.
"If it gets us through to the people who need to hear the message, that's great," Nissen said.
The American Medical Association acknowledges benefits in using social media, but also warns doctors to protect patient privacy and "maintain appropriate boundaries" with patients.
In a publicized case that makes doctors shudder, a state disciplinary board last year reprimanded Rhode Island emergency medicine physician Alexandra Thran for "unprofessional conduct" and fined her $500 after she made comments on her Facebook page about a patient's injury. Even though she didn't name the patient, others who read the post figured out the identity. Thran did not respond to requests for comment.

FCW Forum — Contracting
The innovative approach to services contracting could help the government save money
In case anybody hasn't noticed, the government — largely because of spending to stimulate the economy out of the country's economic crisis — is running trillion-dollar deficits, which everyone knows are unsustainable.
I have been suggesting since January that the contracting community needs to play its part by looking for ways to cut spending on contracting. Indeed, the Obama administration has directed agencies to reduce contract spending in the next two years, though there is a risk that agencies will meet the mandate by doing less with less rather than first seeking ways to do the same (or more) with less — for example, by expanding the use of strategic sourcing and reverse auctions.
In the context of efforts to reduce spending, the time has come to take on the naysayers and revive the statutory encouragement that expired a few years ago for share-in-savings contracting.
Share in savings is an innovative way for the government to contract for services whereby the contractor's full or partial payment is a percentage of the savings its effort generates. In the most radical version, the vendor's total payment is a percentage of the savings it generates — no savings, no payment, and the greater the savings, the greater the payment. In less radical versions, the vendor is paid a fixed fee plus a lower percentage of the savings.
Like any innovative form of contracting, share in savings isn't appropriate for all situations. Generally, for information technology projects, the vendor's effort must generate a large pool of savings in the underlying business process the new application supports. Share in savings has been used in the successful modernization of several state tax systems, where better IT improves enforcement and increases compliance-related tax revenues. A similar example would be an IT application that allows patients to leave hospitals earlier through better bed management or one that tracks down unused office phones.
Where appropriate, share in savings aligns government and vendor incentives. The better and quicker the vendor does at meeting government needs, the better it does financially. And the government isn't left holding the bag if the vendor fails, as is often the case now.
However, vendors won't agree to accept the risks unless they get higher profits if they succeed. That aspect of share in savings has aroused the ire of so-called watchdog groups such as the Project on Government Oversight, which would apparently rather see a contract fail than have a vendor make money. Its opposition, along with at best tepid support from the Bush administration under the disastrous reign of Angela Styles at the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, doomed share in savings when legislation promoting the idea was up for renewal in Congress.
Agencies can use share in savings now, based on multiyear contracting authority in the Federal Acquisition Regulation. However, for a number of technical and political reasons, they are hesitant to do so without legislation that will help them with some technical problems and give them political cover from critics. Can the new OFPP administrator step up to the plate on this?

Hurray for Steve Kelman. We need S-I-S again. I'd like to see "true" performance-based contracting reinvigorated too. Unfortunately, many of the recent task awards have gone back to low bid wins resulting in the government getting the "C" team and mediocre contractor performance.

Certificates can be supplied to anyone provided you know the full personal details of the person whose certificate is required.
If you were born in Bristol but later adopted please telephone the register office on 0117 922 2800 for further information.
Possession of a birth certificate is not proof of identity.
Please note:
- If the registration has only recently taken place, within the last six weeks, a different fee may apply. Please call 0117 922 2800 for further information
- Please be aware that where marriages took place at a church or a chapel, the register may still be held by a minister of that church

Death registers are held at Bristol Register Office.

Other useful information to help the search includes:
- the age on death
- the address or the area they lived in
- details of another close family member (usually a spouse) who they are likely to have been buried with.
There are no research facilities at either office for members of the public wishing to do their own family history searches.
Requests for grave searches should to made in writing to the appropriate cemetery and crematoria offices.

Update, Oct. 25: Subsequent to writing this piece, I was notified by the mayor's office the woman in the WWL story upon which this piece was based had rented the car she was ticketed for, and that she was thus still responsible for the ticket. While that information does change the story, it still presents some issues about the camera system, which are addressed in a postscript below.
Those traffic cameras certainly are insidious. It was once assumed that you could avoid getting a red-light camera ticket, at the very least, by simply not owning a car. That commonsense presumption has now been proven false. Continue reading »

Do you really mean "Column Selector"? Because column selectors are usually made up of a list of multiple column options.
Maybe what you need is a drop down list of Nationalities - which can be created in a prompt. And when you select the list in your prompt select statement, order it such that USA is first - by using a sort column, sort descending (depending on values in your dataset, etc).
Hope this helps.

Although I had high hopes of performance, the Bissell PowerForce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum was not a "best buy." Suction is questionable most times. There is a lot of blow back air, which I do not quite understand. I bought two vacuums at once, so I am twice as disappointed. Personally, I will never buy another Bissell. They are not what they once were. I will try a Shark next. I hope I have better luck...
It's power and price impressed me. Great machine. Unfortunately, we just used it for the first time and the brush stopped rotating. I suspect that the belt broke when the vacuum encountered the end of an area run with tassles. (Not sure tassle is the right word or not.)
What this vacuum really needs is an on/off switch for the brush. I thought that was a standard feature these days.
I will exchange it for a new unit when they are back in stock at my store. I guess I will need to stock up on belts!
Very good vacuum---at an affordable price
I give this vacuum a 9/10. The belt broke after 8 months of use so I deducted 1 point, everything else is great about this product
I am so happy with the purchase of our Bissell. The suction is incredible! I do not think my floors have ever been cleaner! I would highly recommend this vacuum to everyone. It works great on hard floors too!
I love this vaccum. I had been looking at it for about 2 months before I finally bought it. It was the best thing I could've ever done. My house just looks cleaner when I vaccum the floors! Now I don't mind so much when my 2 1/2 year old grandson drops stuff! LOL
This vacuum is the best for the price. Light weight, great suction power, and easy to dispose of dirt. Recommend for any size house.
This is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned! It will pick up the smallest amount of dust and dirt. You can vacuum with one of the competitors and then go over the exact same area, and the Bissell will pick up the dirt that the competitors left behind! I love my Bissell Powerforce Helix turbo!!
So I just bought this sweeper and it picked up way more than what I thought it would ever pick up for the price amazing power hope it lasts cuz I really like that you turn it on and off with your foot and that it has washable filters
Seeing this vacuum in action was amazing all the power it has when you use it! It gets every little spot of dirt with easy as the vacuum glides across the carpet. So easy to move around and very easy to put together.
This vaccum is very cost efficent for those who are looking for a decent vaccum without coughing up a pretty penny. It is also easy to assemble (maybe 10 minutes). It cleans both my carpet and tiled floors. The bagless feature is unbeatable. It is easy to open and dump out the contents and it is easy to put the canister back, lock it into place, and keep going. All around great vaccum!
A great product for the price. It was exceptionally easy to put together, which is always a good thing!
I just used my new vac and I love it!! It is light weight, doesn't hurt my back or legs to use it! After vacuuming with my old vac, I went over the same area with the Bissell and I picked up a full dirt holder!! The suction on this machine is great! Picks up the smallest speck, would recommend this vac for all my friends and enemies as well!!
Picks Up Everything And Makes Carpet Looks Awesome, I Love It
Just used my new Bissell and I love it. It is just what I wanted and I am very happy with it.
I have used many vacuums in my time, but this one is amazing!!! It sucked up so much dirt, my carpet looks new!! Great job Bissell!!! Thank you!!
I love my new Bissell. I have carpeting in all rooms except for the bathroom. I had been using another vacuum until it quit. I went to store and bought my new Bissell and it cleans rings around the other one. I do not know how I went so long without this product. I even cleaned the dust out of my dryer with it. It does beautifully. I have only had this 3 weeks and have already had to wash filters.
This vacuum works very well for me and is easy to clean. I like the fact that it is bag-less and the filter is washable.
I'm truly amazed at the suction power of this vacuum. This is truly the best vacuum cleaner that I have ever had. I wish that I had gotten one long ago. The vacuum that my new Bissell is replacing NEVER came close to doing as good a job as this one, and it cost a lot more, and I thought it was THE name in vacuum cleaners. My daughter purchased a Bissell a few years ago and is pleased with hers, and I trusted her evaluation. I'm completely sold on Bissell and will recommend your products as often as I can.
Light weight and cleans great. Picks up pet hair the first time.

Retirement Planning Success Requires Planting the Seeds
October 5, 2015
This white paper focuses on organizational practices designed to help maximize role clarity and role confidence for new employees.
There is some inclination by our execs to want to enshrine a training policy to make sure training of employees takes place/gets done. I'm not necessarily opposed, but I also am not convinced it's going to help much. We want to boost participation rates, but I feel like forcing employees to seek out training could backfire.

1 Candidate Interview Review Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Customer Claims Specialist Interview
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate in July 2014.
Applied online. Received a call to do a 10 minute interview about things you have experienced in the past such as a difficult situation with a customer. Then they sent an online questionnaire to see if you had the right personally for the job. I then received an email saying I passed and should expect a follow up call soon. About 3 days later I was asked to come in for a formal interview. I was told to be 10-15 minutes early. It was within a week I was asked to come in for an interview from the phone interview. It was 4 weeks after I applied that I initially was contacted. In the interview I sat with one manager. It was pretty laid back and an enjoyable experience. I was there for one hour. I was asked a couple formal questions, given information on the company policies and dress code, a lot of it was more getting to know myself and the company. I was then taken on a tour of the facility, and sat with a Claims Specialist on a phone call to see what types of situations they deal with. Then I was taken back to the interview room with the manager. They asked if I thought I could see myself working there. I said yes because it seemed like something I would like to do. We sat for about 5 more minutes and I was told I would 've contacted soon with an answer. The next day I was offered the position and I took it.
