heidi g. gave positive reputation to a post in a topic: Anyone Unemployed Or Divorced Because Of Celiac?
pchick replied to Dasmith's topic in Celiac Disease - Friends and Loved Ones of CeliacsI feel the same way... I was diagnosed "severe gluten intolerant" by my ND in July 09 so it's still fairly new to me too. And it's hard... especially the holidays! Since I found out about my intolerance, I've been really good at avoiding all gluten, and cooking and baking all my food from whole foods with lots of veggies and no sugar. I was feeling about 50% percent better overnight just from the diet change... then I was getting sick and tired a lot and found out my vitamin D and B and iron levels were far too low, so now I'm taking a bunch of different suppliments and am feeling GREAT!! My little rant of late is this: My hubby, who is very supportive in most ways, doesn't think using flour around me makes any difference. I honestly didn't know for sure myself until last week when we decided to bake a bunch of goodies to give to friends as gifts. I was so good and didn't eat any of it or touch my mouth or eyes or anything while I was baking (which is tough since I usually eat as much raw batter as finished product). I made myself a gluten-free blueberry tart and some gluten-free fudge to snack on so I wouldn't be tempted. Imagine my dismay the next day waking stiff all over and nauseous. I got through most of the day before I started vomiting (I have BAD constipation so when I get "glutened" I get real sick and bloated and then everything in my tummy goes the other way). I spent 12 hours being sick like that and now it's 3 days later and I feel like I'm 95 years old ~ all my joints are popping and hurting, my head is pounding, my face broke out, my tongue swelled up, my throat hurts, I'm super depressed, and am SO TIRED, all my muscles ache and some are cramping... right back to how I was before the diet change. I'm trying to stay positive and the one good thing that came out of all this is that my husband now takes me seriously and has trashed all flours and bread, even the goodies we made, out of the house. The thing is even though this food NEVER made me so sick before, so I'm a little surprised as well. Nothing like an experience like this to KNOW I will never intentionally eat or even be around flour and other glutens if I can help it. So good luck to everyone getting through the holidays ~ it can be so hard. Especially when people think you're making it up (like many of my "friends") I'm SO glad to have this forum to read or write on when I need a little support. I am very appreciative... THANK YOU

I Never Feel Rested
pchick replied to Live2BWell's topic in Celiac Disease - Sleepwow ~ everyday I'm learning something new here! This is a great forum. Anyway, I too am TIRED all the time.... I've been told my adrenal function is low (by my acupuncturist) and my ND told me my DHEA/Cortisol levels are unbalanced. But that doesn't really explain much. I had a very stressful/traumatic lifestyle till about 10 years ago ~ Now I've got my life somewhat together and of course, NOW my health seems to be falling apart. I'm getting a good mutli-vitamin on Monday... and I'm hoping that taking that will help in my exhaustion, light sensitivity, dizziness etc. Hopefully someday I'll be able to get on this forum and GIVE good advice instead of always NEEDING it. Thanks to all who are writing ~ it really helps
So Tired...
pchick replied to pchick's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)sorry to hear some of you are experiencing the same thing... but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'm motivated to keep it up in the diet dept. in hopes in a few months I'll be having all sorts of energy! Keep me posted ~ let me know when you all start feeling better as far as insomnia... I stay up late because I can't fall asleep easily ~ I usually fall asleep between 2 and 4am, but once I fall asleep I'm out until 10 the next day (with a few bathroom breaks). Lately, I've also been taking naps during the day. If I know I'll get better, I can do this for a while.
So Tired...
pchick replied to pchick's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Thanks Amyleigh, I just ordered gluten free multi vitamins... should get here Monday. Doc put me on enzymes and probiotics, and something to facilitate iron permeability. I've been taking EmergenC's when I feel woozy... and I think that helps. I know the vitamins will help.
So Tired...
pchick posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I was wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing? My test results were negative, but my IgA count was extremely low, so they wouldn't read positive even if I had celiac for sure. current test results: Triglycerides: 480 Blood sugar: 111 borderline anemic CS1: +3 candida, +1 saprophytic fungi GP2: no parasites MB2 Total intestinal SIgA: <11 (normal range is 400-880) MB3 Intestinal lysozyme: 4 (normal is 6) MB4 Alph Anti-Chymotrypsin: <14 (normal is <60) FG1 Chymotrypsin: <3 (normal is >9) no allergy to milk, soy, egg F14 Gliadin Ab SIgA: 7 negative Because of this I went gluten free 3 weeks ago and so much is going better. My heartburn has stopped, I'm becoming more regular , I have less abdominal pain and a lot less bloated. My skin has almost cleared up completely (first time ever) and I'm thinking much more clearly so I'm having positive response to the diet. The thing is though, for the last few days I've been VERY tired again. All I want to do is sleep, it's hard to keep moving sometimes and so I've been taking too many naps (and still not feeling rested). So I'm wondering if anyone else has this? Could it be a healing response (I've been sick for a long time and now have leaky gut)? It almost feels like a detox ~ kind of a heaviness in the body and head. I don't know... maybe I was "glutened" but I don't think so. Everything else is holding fine - still regular and such, but I'm just really, really tired... and I have a strange tingling sensation all over, including my tongue. Just looking for answers or someone who is experiencing the same thing ~ I'm so confused... and I really just want to feel normal for a little while.
Another Newbie...
pchick replied to Tabasco's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsI had this too when I was a kid ~ no one thought anything of it. I also came down with something called trenchmouth right after I had chickenpox in second grade... it lasted for 3 weeks ~ terrible thing, it was like my mouth was a big open sore. Sorry, I don't even know if I have celiacs ... I'm like you, everything I read about it is like "OMG... I have that too!! My stool samples came back negative, but was still diagnosed gluten intolerant due to extremely low levels of IgA. I'm also overweight and didn't think this could be my problem because everyone else who has it (like my sister) can't gain weight very easily at all. It's almost as sad as not being able to lose weight. Good luck with your diagnosis... and even if it doesn't come out positive, I would recommend following a gluten free diet anyway. It's helped me IMMENSELY so far.
Actual Results
pchick posted a blog entry in pchick's BlogHello Blogland.... After a bunch of self research, I asked my doctor for copies of my test results so I can see exactly what he meant by "gluten intolerance". When I looked at the numbers I was VERY confused because it said my Gliadin SIgA was 7 Negative. I immediately posted a question and Korwyn from this forum responded saying that since my total IgA Serum is extremely low, it will affect the Gliadin number and may not be correct. So I guess that's good ~ for a minute I thought my doctor was crazy and gluten was NOT my enemy.... but I'm glad someone had some good info for me. The more research I do, the more and more I know this is my problem. I've read about people having the EXACT same problems as I've been dealing with... but it's such a mystery. You would think with 1 out of 100 having celiacs disease, they would routinely test for it somehow... and believe us, the patient, when we tell them we are not feeling good. Anyway here are my stool sample results: CS1: +3 candida, +1 saprophytic fungi GP2: no parasites MB2 Total intestinal SIgA: <11 (normal range is 400-880) MB3 Intestinal lysozyme: 4 (normal is 6) MB4 Alph Anti-Chymotrypsin: <14 (normal is <60) FG1 Chymotrypsin: <3 (normal is >9) no allergy to milk, soy, egg F14 Gliadin Ab SIgA: 7 negative Does anyone else out there have LOW IgA Counts??? What is your story? Anyone like this who is overweight as well? I would love to find folks who are dealing with the same thing so I can have a few people to really talk to. All my usual friends think I'm a little nutty. I tell them I can't have gluten anymore and they just say "bummer" and walk away. I could really use someone to talk to... maybe even someone from Portland OR... I feel like an alien right now... I haven't gone out to eat in almost a month ~ and that was my big social time. Now I don't know what to do with myself... time to get working on craft projects I guess. But it gets lonely, even my husband, while very helpful, doesn't really understand what I've been dealing with for soooooo Long!!! I really hope I get this all figured out and in time I'll feel normal, like a real person. Here's to hoping
Can Stool Test Show Antibodies That Were Missesd By Blood Test?
pchick replied to Sandi*'s topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsThanks Korwyn! That is great information. I've been trying to decide if I should go in for a biopsy... but I don't have insurance ~ and if it comes up negative I would be a little upset for having spent so much money. And it sounds like having low serum IgA could affect the outcome. Plus dealing with it is the same... have to avoid gluten. I've been searching for answers for about 12 years... reading these posts here make me feel I'm in the right neighborhood. I just wish this all would be easier to diagnose and understand.
Can Stool Test Show Antibodies That Were Missesd By Blood Test?
pchick replied to Sandi*'s topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHi ~ I'm trying hard to figure out what's wrong with me, and what you are describing is sounding too familiar. I was "diagnosed" gluten intolerant... then did some research and now I want to know what exactly that means. I don't have $$ for biopsy to know if I have celiacs... but that doesn't matter to me as much as a mis-diagnosis. I just got copies of my lab work from my naturopath, and he said I was gluten intolerant since birth and I should avoid gluten for life. But when I look at the actual lab results ~ the F14 Giladin SIgA tested negative 7. That just doesn't sound right. My labs were as follows: CS1: +3 candida, +1 saprophytic fungi GP2: no parasites MB2 Total intestinal SIgA: <11 (normal range is 400-880) MB3 Intestinal lysozyme: 4 (normal is 6) MB4 Alph Anti-Chymotrypsin: <14 (normal is <60) FG1 Chymotrypsin: <3 (normal is >9) no allergy to milk, soy, egg F14 Gliadin Ab SIgA: 7 negative I feel 100 times better on a grain free /sugar free diet, but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something... and I'd like to know if anyone else had low chymotrypsin levels and what that means for you. I just want to make sure this is the right diagnosis... I don't want to end up with pancreatic problems (or maybe I have them already )
Curious About Cross Contamination
pchick posted a blog entry in pchick's BlogI've been reading online and on this forum about cross contamination and I'm wondering how serious I have to take this. I haven't been gluten free long enough to know if having flour in my kitchen is going to be hazardous. You see, my husband loves to bake ~ pies especially. Now I have very good will power because I really want to get better... so they are not tempting for me to be around... I won't eat any. But I'm curious if I could get "glutened" by being in the kitchen while he is making crusts ~ or kissing him after he eats some. The reason I'm wondering is because I've been feeling pretty good, but recently I've been feeling crappy again - very tired with a headache ~ and super bloated. It could just be from the exceptional heat we just experienced, or it could be I was in the kitchen while pies were being made. I feel bad enough that I've wrecked the something we've been able to enjoy together in the past (going out to eat)... I've had anxiety issues and constant nausea for years... so I can't do too much like normal people, so going for food was one thing I felt comfortable with. Now that's out. Plus I may have to ask him to give up his hobby, something he really enjoys... baking. I'm hoping I don't have to do that. He is interested in learning how to make a gluten free crust... but right now I'm having a lot of ab. pain so I'm avoiding all grains and sugars for the time being so I wouldn't eat it anyway. I have so much learning to do, I feel so overwhelmed. I wish I had a cook who could come in and just put the right food in front of my face so I don't have to think about it anymore. I'm just so sick of feeling icky... and although I'm grateful to have relief from watching my diet... I'm a little pissed my body doesn't work right.
Feeling Better Than Yesterday
pchick posted a blog entry in pchick's BlogI broke down and charged a new air conditioner yesterday. I was too hot, and I'm just a wimp... I swear, the heat makes me a different person. We put it in our daughter's room and put all the fish tanks in there (otherwise we'd have fish soup!) so now we have one room nice and cool to sit in when necessary. Plus it's keeping the whole house a little cooler (95 inside 104 outside). Sorry ~ this may not be the place to write about the heat... but it turns very physical for me. My intestines certainly are not fully healed yet (just started gluten-free 3 weeks ago) so I still have a lot of problems. My feet, for instance, are immobile because they are so swollen, my whole body is bloated actually... even my fingers. It's painful. Plus I've been constipated again and I've been getting that dizzy/disoriented feeling again even though I'm avoiding gluten. So I'm now wondering if it's just old toxic gluten working it's way out of my system... or if it's just a symptom of being too hot. I've double checked everything I'm eating, and since most of it is whole foods that I cook (no grains, no sugar) I really honestly don't think I'm ingesting any hidden gluten. I'm kind of bummed because I was feeling so good until this heat came and kicked my butt. I'm going to stay in my daughters room as much as possible, but I have no idea how long it will take for my feet and ankles to go back to normal, and for me to start feeling good again.
Crazy Heat
pchick posted a blog entry in pchick's BlogIt's 12:30am and my house is down to 89 after a day of record highs (106) in Portland today. My husband is tired of hearing me complain. The heat really zaps me, and my feet are so swollen they hurt to walk on. It's making me super emotional, and I've been breaking down crying off and on all day today. Not so good at cooking when it's so hot, so I didn't eat much today and so I'm feeling a little woozy right now... and of course, I don't think I have anything in the house that is ready to eat without cooking. I need to go shopping tomorrow. At least it'll be air conditioned!! Now if I can just get some sleep...
A New Language...
pchick posted a blog entry in pchick's BlogBeing this is my first blog entry here, I'd like to give a bit of my history so as to explain how I got here in the first place. I'm 40 now, and was just diagnosed Gluten Intolerant by my naturopath from stool samples, and bloodwork. Then I came right home and started my own research... that is how I found this space. I'm not sure if I'm a true "celiac", but I was told I was born with this. That makes sense to me too... as a kid, I was ALWAYS nauseas with lots of rumbly tummy aches. I also had very high anxiety and before any tests I would be up all night vomiting. I was always tired as a kid and always just wanted to sleep ~ my folks always told me how fat and lazy I was. Fast Forward to age 18-28 where I was kicked out of my family's house because I didn't want to be the same religion as them (long story) and ended up a homeless, drunk, drug-using gutter punk. During this time I always felt like crap, but just associated it with feeling "hung-over". I got pregnant at age 21 and proceeded to lose 35 pounds before gaining it back plus 10 lbs to be at my full pregnant weight. The whole time I was pregnant, I stayed clean ~ and I felt VERY sick. I also had kidney stones during the pregnancy. Again, I just chalked this up to being pregnant. I became very anemic to the point I was passing out in public. I also was nauseas the whole pregnancy. Then I had my daughter in 1991 ~ 3 weeks overdue, but healthy! After her birth, I mellowed on some drinking by switching from vodka to beer... this is about the time I started becoming so tired I wasn't able to do the things I needed to do, like go to work. So... I started using meth... I know, I know ~ terrible! BUT it was like my coffee ~ it wasn't to party, but to go to work and keep up with being a single mom. Of course this burned me out and when I was 28 I had a breakdown of sorts and decided I needed help. Luckily for me, that is about the time I met my future hubby. He stuck by me through quitting meth, alcohol, cigarettes and later coffee. He also helped me take care of my daughter during this time. Anyway he totally saved my butt! Soon after quitting all the crap, I started getting sick again ~ nauseas all the time, abdominal pain, ear ringing, headaches, jaw tightness, anxiety, constipation, and weight gain just to name a few. The ab pain became so bad I was sent to the sidewalk on many occasions before my hubby brought me to the ER to find out I had a HUGE gall stone. I thought this could be the answer... I was excited to have it removed. After the surgery though, I still felt icky! Now I have to say, I don't have any insurance... so to have my gall bladder removed I had to get a low-paying part time job for six months to get state insurance to cover the surgery. Since then I haven't been to a "real" doctor. Also since then I started having more symptoms that I just started chalking up to old age, being overweight, and being an ex-drug user. Some symptoms: abdominal pain in all quadrants constant low back burning pain ear ringing, headaches, face twitches constant nausea, frequent vomiting, acid reflux, BAD heartburn irregular menstral cycles joint pain and swelling especially in the feet and tongue brain fog, fuzzy vision, dizziness, disoriented feeling more and more heart palpitations, sometimes high blood pressure thyroid disfunction - going from hypo to hyper and back again high blood sugar, high triglycerides bad teeth, tongue losing taste buds in weird shapes anxiety constipation / diarrhea tired ALL THE TIME ~ couldn't get up before 10am without feeling like a truck hit me... and I don't even drink anymore! did I say nausea yet... Okay... so you get the picture... all these "symptoms" never really struck me as being abnormal... for ME. I ALWAYS felt kinda crappy. I just thought that's how people felt... and some were just good at pushing themselves. So I finally decided to see an acupuncturist in 2007 when everytime I ingested ANYTHING my guts would start cramping INTENSELY. It hurt SO bad!! I felt like they were contractions... they even came and went. This happened 3 times in a row... the third time sent me into a full blown panic attack where I couldn't hardly breathe and that freaked me out completely... so I went to get help! The acupuncture helped A LOT to make me feel less nauseas. Also, my acupuncturist is a chinese medicinal herbalist and made me a tea to drink that really helps. But after 2 years of seeing him, I realized he is just making the symptoms better ~ that I need to find out what's going on in my belly. That's when I went to the ND/MD and had a bunch of tests taken and found out what I had! Now it makes all the sense in the world. Some people would be bummed to have to change their diet so drastically, but not me... I'm SO excited to see what a normal person feels like. I've been gluten free almost 2 weeks and feel PHENOMENALLY BETTER!! I already have more energy than when I was on speed!! (I can't hardly believe it myself) my nausea is clearing too ~ I've only felt it twice in two weeks!!!!! Heartburn is basically non-existant (except when I have any sugar or grain). Plus, the most amazing thing of all is I lost 10 pounds! For someone who has tried every diet plan under the sun with no effect, this is just amazing! So you could say: I'm a believer!!! I'm gonna be gluten free for life and I know I will LOVE it!! I have to heal my small intestines first (leaky gut), then I can add some other grains back into my diet, but for now I'm eating lots of fish, chicken, eggs, green leafy veggies, other veggies, some cheese, and some fruit and nuts. I haven't been diagnosed with celiac with a biopsy, but from what I can tell, being gluten intolerant for life is pretty much the same thing. You can't have any gluten. So I hope I'm in the right place to write. I really needed to vent ~ I feel like I just discovered gold and can't wait to tell everyone. Unfortunately, most people don't have a clue what this is about... so maybe I'll just keep it to myself Thanks to all who have written posts on the forum, I gleaned a bunch of great info from there and am happy to be here where people talk my new language!!
Anyone Unemployed Or Divorced Because Of Celiac?
pchick replied to mrmachinist's topic in Celiac Meeting Roomwow ~ some people are terribly selfish! I'm going to thank my wonderfully supportive husband right now! We've been together 12 years, all the while my health and mental wellness was going down the drain. The last few years I don't even go out with him due to my severe anxiety and possible panic attacks besides just feeling crappy. But he's always been there for me and never called me lazy or worthless or hypochondriac like my parents (and some friends) did. Now I know what's going on and the food choices are making a difference ~ and we are BOTH excited for my health. I'm so glad he was there for me all along!
How Long To Heal A Leaky Gut?
pchick replied to pchick's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut Issuesgreat news jststric! I like the idea of my gut healing quickly I AM feeling better already... my doctor is a naturopath/MD and put me on probiotics, enzymes, and he also wants me to take 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in water 15 mins before eating. I'm not sure what the apple cider vinegar does... I'll have to ask him to be more specific, but between that and no grains/sugars... this is working. it's REALLY REALLY nice not having heartburn all the time too! sometimes you don't even know how much it's really bothering you till it's gone!! I'll check out kirkman labs ~ I need to get a multi-vitamin too

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do... Good luck and I hope someday you are able to get paid well for something you love to do!
Quoting AjCeCeMom:
Good luck, is it a good move for your career too? Sometimes you have to sacrifice a couple of years in order to get where you want to be. It will all work out in the end'
I know the feeling!!! I'm in that position right now. I don't get paid well here, but the benefits are great and the schedule is awesome (I can take off, come in late, leave early, whenever I want!)
I've had calls for other better-paying jobs, but luckily there has been a reason beyond my control that I couldn't take it lol.
The last one was a 2 1/2 hour commute each way. Uh no.

Student Proves to be a "Jenius"
Businessman with Clothing Line
The closest most 19-year-olds get to having their own clothing line is selling designer jeans at the mall. Ricky Bortz, a Kent State University student from Beachwood, Ohio, who recently completed his freshman year, is the exception.
His denim and clothing line, Jenius Jeans Label, launched in the summer of 2009 and is quickly growing into a full-time venture for the business management major.
However, this isn't the first time that Bortz has been at the helm of a business he started himself. While in high school, he and a friend started a fashion website that featured celebrity news, movie and music clips and fashion reviews.
"It was like a Facebook for fashion," Bortz says. "Kids could upload pictures of what they were wearing. We even had LeBron James and his friends posting videos."
The site, which even received attention from designers like Gucci and Marc Jacobs, had 60,000 local Web hits and more than 250,000 international hits. When he graduated, Bortz sold his share of the website to his partner. He was ready for something bigger.
The idea for Jenius Jeans Label started when Bortz noticed the popularity of designer denim lines like True Religion, and the intricate pockets that signified the brand. He envisioned a line of jeans that had customizable pockets that could be removed and changed out at the wearer's choice.
"My goal for the future is that kids can design their own pockets and upload and share them on the website," Bortz says. "No other designer has ever done anything like this before."
The process of starting his clothing line hasn't come without its challenges. Bortz tried to pitch the idea to several companies, but had no samples to show. Through family connections, he finally found a woman in Turkey who manufactured the denim samples and sent them to the United States.
"I feel like all those businesspeople weren't taking me seriously," Bortz said. "But it's the best feeling that I was able to find a manufacturer and launch the line. It's like a slap in the face to them."
Bortz is also in the process of securing a patent for the removable pocket idea, but that hasn't been an easy process either.
"Something like this is hard to patent because it's a function on a pocket," he said. "It would be like trying to patent the zip fly on jeans."
Jenius Jeans Label has been somewhat of a family affair for Bortz, whose parents have helped guide him through the business development process.
"My dad is a successful businessman and an artist," Bortz said. "He's helped me with lots of the legal stuff, and my mom is just really smart. It's a good balance."
In his short time at Kent State, Bortz has made many connections that have helped him through the process of launching his own business. While living on campus, Bortz met a visual communication design major, Kate Brandenstein, who designed the logos seen on Jenius Jeans Label's merchandise and website.
In addition, the staff at the College of Business Administration's Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation has assisted Bortz in developing his business.
"Julie Messing from the entrepreneurship program helped a lot," he says. "She connected me with a studio when I needed a photo shoot. I've made a lot of connections at Kent State."
In the midst of launching a clothing line and managing his own business, Bortz still has to balance being a college student.
"The hardest part has been managing school work," he says. "Usually I focus on school during the week and the business on the weekends, and I can do both."
Now, Bortz is spending that time on publicity and building his brand. Several local hip-hop artists have contacted him for sponsorships, and local musician Ash Jordan is already a fan of the line.
However, the reality of being the 19-year-old owner of a clothing line is still sinking in.
"It's cool. Lots of people are already asking for free clothes," Bortz says. "It's a unique thing for kids my age to do, and I've been able to learn different aspects of running my own business. It's proof that if you work hard, you can be successful at anything."

Decoding the secrets of balance
We've known for a while that the vestibular system in the inner ear is responsible for helping us keep our balance. And while researchers have already developed a basic understanding of how the brain constructs our perceptions of ourselves in motion, until now no one has understood the crucial step by which the neurons in the brain select the information needed to do so.

A Flurry of New Equity in May
Posted by: Ben Steverman on May 15, 2009
Billions of new shares have flooded the market this month. Data from Thomson Reuters today shows almost as much equity has been issued in the last two weeks as in the first four months of the year.
In May, companies have raised $35.3 billion by issuing new shares, compared to $36.7 billion from January to April.
Some of the equity raises were required by the results of the federal government stress tests of top banks. Wells Fargo's (WFC) $8.6 billion raise fits in this category. It's the largest deal of the past two weeks, Thomson Reuters says.
But, as I noted a few days ago, not all the equity-raising is government-prompted or even related to the financial sector. Many corporations seem to be seizing the opportunity provided by the recent stock market rally, even if such equity raises dilute the stakes of current shareholders.
This flurry of activity may be short-lived. But, for now, it's keeping Wall Street's investment bankers busy and providing needed revenue to their troubled employers. So far this month, Thomson Reuters estimates banks have collected $1 billion in fees from U.S. equity capital markets activity.

Rip tides and cold water cause concern for swimmers
KGMI News Reporting
By Karen Taylor
WASHINGTON STATE – The U.S. Coast Guard wants everyone to have a safe and fun Fourth of July weekend and summer on lakes and ocean beaches.
Spokesman Jordan Akiyama says people need to take the 'buddy system' a step further.
Last weekend alone, the Coast Guard received reports of 14 people being swept out to sea by rip tides along the coasts of Washington and Oregon.
Two of those people drowned.
Akiyama says people should never underestimate how cold ocean and lake water can be on a hot day and how quickly a person can become exhausted while swimming.

Tasmanian Governor Peter Underwood, AC, to be farewelled in state funeral on Monday, July 21
- From: Mercury
- July 10, 2014
TASMANIAN Governor Peter Underwood, AC, will be farewelled at a state funeral at the Federation Concert Hall on Monday, July 21.
The island state's 27th governor, Mr Underwood, 76, died on Monday night following complications arising from an operation to remove a kidney tumour.
Premier Will Hodgman confirmed this afternoon that Mr Underwood's family had accepted the Government's offer of a state funeral.
He said the thoughts of the Tasmanian community were with the family at this sad time.
"His Excellency had an extraordinary career in the law and later he served Tasmania as Governor with distinction. He was a man of tremendous capacity and closely connected to the community," Mr Hodgman said.
"I expect legal and vice-regal representatives from across the nation and Tasmanians from all walks of life will be among those who will attend the state funeral and celebrate his life."
The state funeral service for Mr Underwood will be held at 1pm on Monday, July 21, at the Federation Concert Hall at Hobart's Hotel Grand Chancellor.
Lieutenant-Governor and Chief Justice Alan Blow is acting in the vice-regal role.

When my parents grew up, family time at the dinner table was mandatory. You had to be home at 6 p.m. for family dinner. No ifs, ands or buts!
When I was growing up, dinner time was spent with the family at the table. It was usually around the same time each day and we talked about what we did at school and work. As I got older, we were not always together. Someone was either was still working, at school for extra help or an extracurricular activity or at a friend's house for dinner. But whenever it was possible, we were together.
Still to this day, we sit around the dinner table.
Sunday was Father's Day and I was lucky enough to be able to spend it with both my family and my husband's. We started the day off with my husband's family having brunch at his parent's house. We sat around the table (my husband and I, his parents, grandma, sister and her boyfriend) and discussed our weekend, what everyone was up to at work and anything else that was new. Hours later we were still sitting together talking and enjoying each other's company.
We left one table to join another. We drove to my parents for dinner and met my brother and his wife there as well. We too sat around the table talking about our weekend, everyone's job and future plans.
Hours later my husband and I were on our way home.
I started thinking in the car, do others spend their time with their family like this? Or are we just living in the past? Some of my favorite times are sitting around the table talking with my loved ones. I plan on doing the same with my children, having as much structure as possible, so that dinner time is our time to bond and stay connected as a family.
Do you sit around the table and talk with your family? Let me know. I would love to know if I am in the minority or majority with this one!

Tony Sly – 12 Song Program
Released by Fat Wreck Chords, 2/16/10
by Jeff Kingsbury on Feb 19, 2010
Tony Sly has surrendered to his talents and his songwriting addiction to deliver us to his 12 Song Program. With close to two decades at the helm of the punk rock band, No Use For a Name, Tony has stripped the electricity out of his guitars and has deposited it into emotional songs arranged and composed by a masterful storyteller.
This is Sly's first solo album. An acoustic album full of melodies that crawl of honesty and vulnerability, Sly shows the depths of his talents and his renaissance into folk/pop.
"Capo, 4th Fret" opens the program up with a brilliantly crafted ballad that illustrates Sly's remarkable songwriting with, "the sound of ice in a bottomless glass tells me that all is fine." A wonderful lyric, it's perfect to begin a 12 Song Program.
A favorite in the program is "The Shortest Pier." It's a warm ballad that shines because of its simplicity. The craftsmanship is first rate, exemplifying how in just over two and a half minutes a meshing of feeling to sound can be just what the doctor ordered.
Sly's influences range from the Beatles' Rubber Soul to Bob Dylan. He draws on the works of these higher powers for songwriting strength. With the album's brevity and straightforwardness, there are formative parallels. Joey Cape of Lagwagon also helps out, singing with Sly on "Amends" a charming song with the message, "I don't think it's worth the time to make amends."
Whether this is Tony Sly's second act, time will tell. His songwriting aptitude isn't to be denied after you have finished the 12 Song Program. The voices will get louder for their Tony Sly fix and he will sponsor others like those that came before him. The sun is rising; it's a brand new day.

I'm alive. By the way.
Life in Nebraska hasn't managed to off me yet, even though it turns out I'm allergic to corn pollen and they have these wasps who've evolved to be so large that they can flap up and snatch CICADAS. And no one has tried to shoot me, even though I get the distinct and constant impression that my being an "Uppity Woman" is a serious danger to local social order.
It's really hard to be happy or hopeful here. We're both struggling with our jobs and everything surrounding farm communities is SO functional. People here must (well, do) wonder what the point of me is.
Not to mention that I didn't put Jon through two years of college so that he could wear a beard-net to his factory job everyday.
But the Huskers do play an hour away and Jon has managed to go to 6! Games! since the move sooooo...
In other "news"- we got our first smart phones, which I mostly use to google the plots of suspenseful movies while watching them to prevent afraid-ness and public squealing.
And a cat. His name is "Otto", which is what the shelter where he'd been for 3 years had called him. Possibly because he'd been run over by an "Auto" and broken his pelvis. Before the auto, he had a family that declawed him, taught him to like kids, and let him drink out of faucets. No one is sure where they are in this. They may have surrendered him because of the vet bills, or they may still think he's lost. If that's the case, they can have him back because he's very meowy and he's a morning person. If not, well, I'm a sucker for big shaggy mutts and I guess I don't mind the purring.
Vlad, our hedgehog, is still kicking too: kicking Otto's butt. He's really into chasing that poor guy whenever he gets a chance.
|Inside that dark, prickly cavern, is his face.
Anyway, I'm here and have nothing better to do than start blogging again.

So in an effort to try and make more FiliPALEO dishes, I searched for a way to make sinigang without the use of a flavor pouch. My parents have always used that flavor pouch for sinigang, so much that I was convinced that that was the "authentic" way of doing things. Actually, back in the day (and sometimes in present day), sinigang was often used with tamarind as its souring agent, so I figured that if I found my own tamarind, I could make sinigang from scratch.
I always thought this was the authentic way to do it.
Burnt Lumpia is a blog written by a guy named Marvin who happened to run a food truck back in 2010/2011 in LA called "The Manila Machine." Anyways, I was one of many internet lurkers of his blog, and I stumbled upon his ingenious idea to use rhubarb as the souring agent for sinigang. Turns out, it works HELLA well.
Who would've thought? RHUBARB!
8 cups water
3 stalks rhubarb
2 cups chopped daikon
2 yellow chilis
3 pc. gabi (taro root)
2 lbs. pork country style ribs
1 tomato, quartered
1/2 onion, chopped
1 cup green beans, chopped
1 bunch bok choy, chopped and stalks separated from leaves
2 tbsp. fish sauce (nước mắm/patis)
In a big stockpot, add the water. Chop up the stalks of rhubarb into ~1-inch pieces and throw them into the stockpot. Bring up to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Strain out the rhubarb and keep the liquid using a sieve.
In 15 minutes your stockpot will change from this...
...to this.
Straining out the liquid is a bitch, but it matters.
Cut the pork into stew-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, then over high heat, brown on a fry-pan. This takes maybe 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer the pieces into the stockpot containing the rhubarb broth.
To the stockpot, add the chopped up gabi, daikon, and quartered tomato. Pierce through the yellow chilis with a knife or skewer and add to the stockpot as well. Cook the chopped onions in the fry pan that was used to brown the pork, then transfer the onions to the stockpot. Bring up to a boil, then drop the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 50 minutes.
Throughout this simmer process, taste the broth to make sure it is to your liking. Add salt or more fish sauce if needed. If it's reached your desired spicy level, pull out the yellow chilis.
It starts to look like sinigang!
About 35 minutes into the simmer step, it'll be time to throw in the green beans and the bok choy stalks. About 45 minutes in (10 minutes after), throw in the leafy part of the bok choy. Mix it up for 5 minutes, and you're ready to serve.
If you're going paleo, eat it by itself - with all the gabi and bok choy and green beans, it's definitely satisfying even without rice. If you're not doing the paleo thing, serve it old-school over rice.
Serves about 6 average people, or 2-3 weightlifters.

Dear Senators Shaheen and Portman:
On behalf of more than two million Americans for Prosperity activists in all 50 states, I am writing in strong opposition to the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act (S. 1392). This legislation intends to make commercial and residential buildings and manufacturing processes more energy efficient, but its approach of using government incentives is entirely misguided.
In providing taxpayer subsidies and government mandates for upgrading buildings and manufacturing processes, your legislation overlooks the government's terrible track record of predicting future trends in economy. A prime case in point is the government's failure to nudge Americans into electric cars. Despite receiving billions in federal and state incentives, sales of electric cars fall short of expectations. GM projected selling a paltry 10,000 Volts in 2011, but it only sold 7,700. The company planned to sell 60,000 in 2012, but it only sold 23,000. With your legislation, we're poised to repeat this mistake.
Not only is this kind intervention bad in practice, it's bad in principle. Government should not tell businesses and homeowners how to operate, as it does not know their trade-offs, budget constraints, and subjective preferences, nor does it always have the incentives to get things right. People and businesses should pursue efficiency upgrades if it suits their economic interest, not when a paternalistic government nudges them to do so.
Your legislation also authorizes $10 million in grants to universities and community colleges to establish programs to train people to implement and enforce the stricter building codes. This, too, is concerning. Politicians and government planners have no special knowledge of what knowledge, skills, and abilities will be valuable to future employers. This program will create a surplus of workers that are trained for industries that are not economically viable.
Efficiency improvements will come from market forces, not government intervention and handouts. Americans for Prosperity is opposed to your energy efficiency legislation, S. 1392, and I urge your colleagues to oppose its passage.

Tim Ellis' appeal against his conviction for death by negligent driving set for November 11
- From: Mercury
- August 28, 2014
SUSPENDED Director of Public Prosecutions Tim Ellis will return to court on November 11 as the appeal against his guilty verdict gets under way.
Natalia Pearn was killed on March 24, last year when the Mercedes that Mr Ellis was driving crossed to the wrong side of the Midland Highway and crashed into her car. Ms Pearn, 27, of West Launceston, died at the scene.
Mr Ellis was found guilty of negligent driving causing death by Magistrate Chris Webster on June 25 this year. His lawyers immediately flagged their intention to appeal against the decision.
On July 15 in the Supreme Court, Mr Ellis's legal team launched a bid to prevent sentencing in the Magistrates Courtbefore his appeal was heard.
Justice David Porter granted a temporary stay of further proceedings, before disqualifying himself from hearing the final application and suggesting that an interstate judge may have to be brought in to hear both the application and the appeal.
While the Supreme Court refused to confirm the date yesterday, the Mercury has been informed by an unnamed source that hearings will finally begin in 11 weeks' time.
Mr Ellis is currently suspended from his $563,000 a year job as head of public prosecutions.
During his trial Mr Ellis pleaded not guilty to the charge, claiming he was being treated for sleep apnoea and had fallen asleep at the wheel.
But the court heard from police experts that the 800m distance Mr Ellis had spent on the wrong side of the road was not possible without multiple steering inputs.
"You can't simply hold the wheel in one position and get around that corner," prosecutor John Pickering told the court.
Mr Webster found that these driving inputs could not have occurred if the Mr Ellis was asleep.
''I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Ellis consciously drove his vehicle on to the incorrect side of the road and continued to drive ... on the wrong side of the road until the point of impact with the vehicle driven by Ms Pearn," Mr Webster said in finding Mr Ellis guilty.
"The defendant failed to exercise the degree of care that a reasonable and prudent driver should have exercised in the circumstances."
Mr Ellis's lawyer at his Magistrates Court hearing, Michael Farrell, SC, is due to take up a position as Tasmania's new Solicitor-General on September 1.
MARCH 24, 2013: Mercedes sedan being driven by Tim Ellis SC involved in fatal collision on the Midland Highway.
MARCH 26: Mr Ellis makes statement to police.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2013: Tasmania Police Crash Investigation Services says it plans to charge Mr Ellis.
OCTOBER 1, 2013: Mr Ellis pleads not guilty to causing the death of another person by negligent driving.
NOVEMBER 7 2013: DPP stood down on full pay pending the outcome of the charges. Crown prosecutor Darryl Coates SC appointed acting Director of Public Prosecutions.
DECEMBER 5 2013: Chief Magistrate Michael Hill disqualifies himself from hearing the case. Deputy Chief Magistrate Michael Daly later does the same.
DECEMBER 18 2013: Magistrate Chris Webster agrees to hear the case. MARCH 24 2014: Case begins in the Hobart Magistrates Court with evidence from Mr Ellis's wife Anita Smith.
MARCH 28 2014: Evidence in the case concludes, closing submissions from defence and prosecution.
JUNE 25 2014: Magistrate Webster hands down guilty verdict, Mr Ellis' lawyers flag plan to appeal
JULY 15 2014: Mr Ellis's lawyers seek to have sentencing delayed until after appeal is heard; Justice David Porter grants temporary stay of proceedings.
NOVEMBER 11 2014: Mr Ellis's appeal against the guilty verdict expected to be heard in the Supreme Court.

Mississippi State head coach Sylvester Croom paces the sideline during final moments of the Bulldogs 14-13 lost to Kentucky Saturday in Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville.
- Filed Under
Mississippi State University and Sylvester Croom parted ways Saturday, ending a tenure marked with dramatic wins, humiliating defeats - and the historic context that he was the first black head football coach in the 75-year history of the Southeastern Conference.
Croom resigned in a morning meeting with athletic director Greg Byrne. The decision came less than 24 hours after one of the more embarrassing losses of Croom's tenure, a 45-0 defeat at the University of Mississippi, MSU's arch-rival. Croom's teams won 21 games and lost 38 during his five years in charge, including a 10-30 mark in ...

The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all.
Authorities say try and wait until snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do their work.
But, if you do brave the roadways here's what you need to know.
According to Curtis Richards at the Department of Highways in Wood County, if you start to slide out the best thing to do is not touch your brakes. Take your foot off the gas so you can get back in control.
Not slamming on your breaks might go against your gut instinct,
but Richards says it's actually better to pump your breaks instead.
If you have ABS, or any other anti-lock braking system, it's recommended to apply a steady pressure on the brake and don't let up on it.
Also, he says, turn into your skid.
There are also a couple of things you can do before the snow strikes.
The National Safety Council says to make sure that you and your vehicle are prepared by winterizing your car.
That includes checking the tires for air, antifreeze levels and the freeze line. Andrew Florence, Manager of Midas Auto Service in Parkersburg, says it does make a difference in extreme conditions you could be looking at a freeze situation. It can actually crack the engine and you could be looking at replacing it.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
The Sixth District Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Perrysburg man who was charged with forgery, receiving stolen property, and misuse of a credit card in a case stemming from break-ins of vehicles parked at the Perrysburg YMCA in 2007 and 2008.
The appellate court upheld the conviction of Martin Gaines, who had been charged with trying to purchase merchandise at the Pilot Travel Center in Lake Township and a Kmart store in Perrysburg with stolen credit cards.
According to court transcripts, a YMCA member on Dec. 18, 2007 reported her purse stolen after someone had smashed a window of her parked vehicle. When she arrived home after the break-in, she discovered her credit card had already been used to purchase an item costing more than $500 at Kmart.
About two weeks later, another Y member reported a vehicle break-in and purse theft. A man later identified as Gaines attempted to use her credit card that day at the travel center to buy CB radio equipment. After the credit card was declined, the salesman noticed the card was issued in the name of a woman and took the card to his manager. When he returned to the counter, the man had left the store.
A decrease in general fund revenues, layoffs, and budget cuts were among the challenges faced by Northwood last year, according to Mayor Mark Stoner in his state of the city address, delivered to council last week.
Last year, the city faced challenges "never before felt during my life-time," he said.
"Due to economic factors we had to make cutbacks in all city departments to balance the budget," he said.
"Our employees worked hard collectively to make the necessary budget cuts with minimal effect on our community's services."
He expected further challenges this year, he said.
"While I'm not clairvoyant and I cannot predict the future, one only needs to look at the daily headlines to fathom a guess as to the economic circumstances that the city as well as our nation will face in the foreseeable future," said Stoner.
General fund revenues dropped 12.2 percent from 2008-2009, which translates into a decrease of $593,000 into the city coffers.
"Because of this decrease, the administration was forced to cut $678,000 in expenditures during the 2009 tax year. These cuts included laying off, or not filling the vacated positions of, nine individuals," said Stoner.
More home loans slipping into foreclosure are conventional loans rather than subprime loans, according to a recent study by the State Foreclosure Prevention Working Group - attorneys general from 12 states, including Ohio's Richard Cordray.
"The data shows that one in seven borrowers is behind in their mortgage," Cordray said. "And hundreds of thousands of homeowners have adjustable-rate mortgages waiting to reset, ultimately sending even more into default. As our report outlines, servicers are long overdue to step up and start taking legitimate steps in reducing foreclosures. If they choose not to, the picture is grim."
The report includes data compiled over two years by the group in cooperation with 13 large servicers of subprime mortgages.
Key finding of the report are:
The Lake Township trustees have turned to the township solicitor, Tom Hays, to represent the township on the board of directors of a Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) the township formed last year with the City of Toledo.
The appointment of Hays will be on an interim basis until the trustees have had time to interview other persons interested in serving on the JEDD board.
Still, the vote Tuesday to appoint Hays to the board wasn't unanimous.
Trustees Melanie Bowen and Richard Welling voted for the appointment while Ron Sims voted against.
Sims said Police Chief Mark Hummer, who is also an administrative assistant to the trustees, should have been temporarily appointed to the seat.
"We already have an administrator for economic development (Hummer)," Sims said after the meeting. "I just feel that he should have been involved in this."
Hummer has a separate contract with the township for handling administrative matters, including economic development related issues and grants.
The trustees also approved the appointment of Matt Sapara, Director of Development for the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority, as the township's other representative to the five-member board.
Mayor Mike Seferian has chosen Michael Beazley, currently the administrator of Lucas County, as Oregon's city administrator.
Seferian called a special council meeting for 5 p.m. Thursday to announce his choice. Council is expected to approve the appointment.
Candidates interested in the position submitted 60 resumes to the city by the Dec. 15 deadline, though Beazley did not submit one.
Seferian, an independent, said he had his eye on Beazley, a Democrat, since former city administrator Ken Filipiak left last November.
"Mike Beazley has never applied for a job since his career started. People have always come after him," said Seferian, who met with Beazley, 55, twice at his home in the last several weeks to discuss the position.
"When I first had him here at my house, I could see a gleam in his eye, like excitement," added Seferian. "He reminds me of a young, eager person fresh out of college, willing to take on anything with enthusiasm. He is very bright. He's got not only experience, but connections throughout the county, to Columbus, and even to the White House. He's a class act. He's the real deal. He's too good to be true."

Section of Hwy 60 and I-90 ramps in Worthington open for local access
Section of County Road 33 closes Aug. 19
MANKATO, Minn. – A short section of Hwy 60 from the Interstate 90 to Armour Road (by Ron's Repair and JBS) and the Interstate 90 eastbound ramps is expected to open to local traffic only Friday, Aug. 16, according to officials at the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Work has progressed to a point on the Hwy 60 project in Worthington to allow local traffic on the short segment of Hwy 60 that provides access to JBS and other businesses in the area, however, motorists are advised to use caution as crews will continue working in the area.
The existing detours will remain in effect for Hwy 59 and 60 thru traffic.
As work progresses, the closure of Nobles County Road 33 from west of Nobles County Road 5 to Oxford Street is needed beginning Monday, Aug. 19. The County Road 33 closure will remain in place until project completion later this fall.
For more information on detours and the Hwy 60 project visit www.dot.state.mn.us/d7/projects/hwy60/ .
