Was certain I needed major engine work done on my truck. I explained my problem and from the first moment it was apparent that my and the truck's best interest was in mind. Once they had the truck they found that what I saw might not be the case, called me, did more tests, and concluded that the major work was not the problem. It turned out that there was only a minor issue at the root. Saved me $1000-1500 in repair costs. Could have easily done the work I asked for, and I would have been none the wiser that I didn't have the problem I thought I did. Went camping the next week while pulling a camper, and the truck never missed a beat. I am very appreciative for being treated fairly and honestly.
I was in Harrisburg recently and my Tahoe was acting funny. I was directed to Don's Performance Center by another garage because "those are the guys you want to work on it". I went to Don's and explained i was from out of town and asked them to take a look. Without hesitation, no appointment, Larry Peck and his crew took a close look at my Tahoe and had me out the door. FREE OF CHARGE!

A house fire reported at 9 p.m. Sunday at 11317 N.E. 12th Ave. in Vancouver was under control at about 10 p.m.
No injuries were reported. Four residents were displaced and were set to receive assistance from the Red Cross, said Dawn Johnson, Fire District 6 public information officer.
The fire was contained in the home's garage, destroying that part of the structure. There was smoke damage throughout the rest of the home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The residents had built a fire in the fireplace, which is adjacent to the garage, but it was unknown late Sunday whether that was related to blaze.
About four engines from Fire District 6, an air rig and rehabilitation bus responded to the fire. Vancouver Fire Department provided back-up.

I'll join! I haven't joined a club in sometime.
Partner Pokemon: Serpierior and Milotic
Reason for joining:Because of my love for Serperior, Snivy and Servine mainly. I have one on my White team and have fallen in love it. Plus there are many cool serpentine like Pokemon such as Milotic, Gyarados, Huntail, Dragonair, and Rayquaza.
Answer the current topic: If you could turn into a serpentine poke, which wud it be and why? What would be thhe downsides of turning into that pokemon?
Probably Serperior or Gyarados. Mainly cause I just like it so much and like Twiggy I would mine being regal. I could also store energy into my body and use it whenever.
The downside?? Probably would be dealing with my low attack and being weakened by fire.
As for Gyarados, I'd be one cause of how strong and powerful I'd be. Though that's also the downside of being a Gyarados. I would so strong that I'd cause destruction and fear wherever I go and have no control over my rage. I think being feared and hated by alot of people would make me feel lonely. Another thing is what CourageHound mention, I could be able to fly despite being part Flying type. Then I'd have to stay in one place instead of being mobile.
United we stand, divided we fall.

My 10th grade English teacher, Mrs. Flicker, had us read this book. Perhaps I should read it now and see if I discover things I was too young to understand or notice then.
The quote that i remember is:
"Jem said they [ancient Egyptians]... invented toilet paper and perpetual embalming, and asked where would we be today if they hadn't? Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts." [p. 64]
Elsbeth is joining me for an American Southern Classic. BR starting Monday, September 29th.
3.5 stars
Scout and Jem are sister and brother, growing up in Alabama in the 1930s. Their father is a (white) lawyer, who is representing a black man who was accused of raping and beating a white girl. The kids, while mostly living their own lives, do sometimes hear about the "nigger-loving" father.
I read this in high school and remember it being one of the books I read for English class that I liked. This time around, I'm reading it for my book club. Overall, I'm rating it 3.5 stars (good). For much of it, though, I would have rated it 3 stars (ok). But the trial was the most interesting part (and it's the one part I remember from my first read of the book all those years ago) and it brought the rating up for me (would have been 4 stars just for the trial itself!).
In Defense of Atticus Finch
During my freshman year of high school, I read To Kill a Mockingbird as part of my language arts class. I enjoyed the novel immensely and was greatly intrigued when a new novel, Go Set a Watchman, was released in the summer of 2015, my senior year. I heard nothing but negative reviews about the new book, so I felt compelled to read the novel for myself and form my own opinion. The novel's complexity fascinated me and made me look back at To Kill a Mockingbird just for comparison. My findings were interesting enough to me that I decided I wanted them to be the basis for an academic paper. Recently, in one of my final high school papers, I crafted an essay that examined in great detail how Atticus Finch in Go Set a Watchman--who is often criticized by reviewers and the general public for being so unlike the original Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird--actually exhibits the same characteristics, especially those concerning racial equality, as the original Atticus Finch. Simply put: I examined the extent that Atticus Finch has been a racist from the very start--admittedly not a popular opinion. While I understand how reading the novels with this new mindset impacts the effect of the stories, I am in no way discouraging the reading (or rereading) of either novel. In fact, I personally found much enjoyment in reading both novels, not just To Kill a Mockingbird, and I believe many others will feel the same way.
While I understand the hesitancy of some to read a novel whose moral compass has unsettling racist views, I do not believe this fact ruins either novel. In fact, I find Atticus Finch to still be a literary hero in both novels despite his racial beliefs. I believe important life lessons can still be learned from Atticus, despite his views on race.
Atticus Finch is a hero in several regards. He's a hero to his kids, he's a hero to the town of Maycomb, and he's a hero in the courtroom. Atticus is a hero to his kids simply because he's a just father who watches out for his children and, for the most part, teaches them the difference from right and wrong. In this regard, he's a good moral figure because he is a present and active father.
Next, Atticus is a hero to the town of Maycomb as well. Even before the Tom Robinson trial, Atticus had been a respected and appreciated lawyer for Maycomb County, as well as well-liked by most, if not all, of the Maycomb's residents. Despite his conservative views, he still stands up for courage and honesty. This is also seen in Go Set a Watchman, when Atticus agrees to defend Calpurnia's grandson in a hit-and-run case. His bravery and devotion to his children and his hometown are certainly admirable traits for readers to notice.
Lastly, Atticus is a hero in the courtroom. In my essay, one of my central discoveries is that Atticus has a deep devotion to the law and fair judicial proceedings, but not necessarily to African-Americans as a group. Atticus just happened to be defending an African-American man and his respect for his profession caused him to put aside any biases that he had. I believe that to be another admirable trait: the ability to put aside biases for your core beliefs and for justice.
So while proving Atticus to be a racist in the novels To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman does cause a person to view the novels in a different light, I do believe that both novels are still worthy of being read for the plot each contains as well as the morals sprinkled through the pages.
I find Atticus to be a literary hero in many senses, whether it be as a father, a citizen, or an attorney. I just don't view him as a hero in the regard that most do: as a civil rights activist.
[Giving up on this book, it might be worth reading, but for now I'm not interested. Not at all.]
Author Lee, 34, an Alabaman, has written her first novel with all of the tactile brilliance and none of the preciosity generally supposed to be standard swamp-warfare issue for Southern writers. The novel is an account of an awakening to good and evil, and a faint catechistic flavor may have been inevitable. But it is faint indeed; Novelist Lee's prose has an edge that cuts through cant, and she teaches the reader an astonishing number of useful truths about little girls and about Southern life.
The dialogue of Miss Lee's refreshingly varied characters is a constant delight in its authenticity and swift revelation of personality. The events connecting the Finches with the Ewell-Robinson lawsuit develop quietly and logically, unifying the plot and dramatizing the author's level-headed plea for interracial understanding... Moviegoing readers will be able to cast most of the roles very quickly, but it is no disparagement of Miss Lee's winning book to say that it could be the basis of an excellent film.
Its sentiments and moral grandeur are as unimpeachable as the character of its hero, Atticus. ... It's time to stop pretending that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is some kind of timeless classic that ranks with the great works of American literature. Its bloodless liberal humanism is sadly dated, as pristinely preserved in its pages as the dinosaur DNA in "Jurassic Park."
A book that we thought instructed us about the world tells us, instead, about the limitations of Jim Crow liberalism in Maycomb, Alabama.
There are some improbable and sentimental moments in the story, but there are also great moments of laughter that belong to memory and a novelist's hand... Miss Lee's original characters are people to cherish in this winning first novel by a fresh writer with something significant to say, South and North.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0446310786, Mass Market Paperback)"When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.... When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out."
Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up.
Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right; and finally in Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them." By turns funny, wise, and heartbreaking, To Kill a Mockingbird is one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be reread often. --Alix Wilber

The invention relates to a transducer for the simultaneous measurement of different physiological quantities, with a measuring head containing a transducer for measuring a first physiological quantity and a transducer having electrodes connectable to signal processing electronics for measuring a bioelectrical quantity as a further physiological quantity, and comprising a contact surface by means of which it can be engaged with the human or animal body, at least a first one of said electrodes being located at the measuring head to contact with the human or animal body together with the contact surface.
Transducers containing measuring members for the simultaneous measurement of different physiological quantities are always important in medicine, if the application of a large number of measuring members is difficult for time or space reasons, or because it stresses the patient. A typical example is the problem of fitting measuring members to the head or buttocks of a foetus still in the uterus at the time of birth. In the case of a known transducer of the aforementioned type (DOS No. 2,930,663) a transducer for the polarographic measurement of the oxygen partial pressure and a transducer for measuring heart potentials (electrocardiogram) are combined with one another in a measuring head. The ECG electrodes in this known transducer are all located in the contact surface through which the measuring head is applied. In view of the necessarily small size of the measuring head and consequently its contact surface, it is a disadvantage of this electrode arrangement that due to their resulting close spatial proximity, there is a considerable risk of a short-circuit between the electrodes. In addition, the potential differences to be measured are small and are therefore difficult to separate from interfering potentials.
The problem of the invention is to so develop a measuring head of the aforementioned type that, particularly in connection with use during birth, the heart potentials can be reliably measured.
According to the invention, this problem is solved in that at least a second one of said electrodes is attached to the measuring head outside the contact surface thereof. Thus, in this arrangement, where one of the electrodes for measuring the heart potentials is located in the application surface and another one is located outside the same, particularly on the side of the measuring head remote therefrom, a short-circuit is substantially impossible, particularly if, as is standard practice, and necessary when measuring the oxygen partial pressure, the peripheral portion of the contact surface of the measuring head is adhered to the human or animal body by means of an adhesive, so as to seal the inner portion of the contact surface, it being ensured that the adhesive also passes round the electrode positioned in the contact surface. Amniotic fluid moisture or electrolytic cream ensures the necessary conductive connection between the electrode not located in the application surface and the human or animal body, on which the measurement is taking place. The amniotic fluid moisture or electrolytic cream is kept away from the electrode located in the contact surface by the adhesive. Even on taking account of the fact that the amniotic fluid moisture or electrolytic cream means that the electrode located outside the contact surface is brought electrically nearer to the electrode located in the contact surface, the distance between them is still greater than that if they were juxtaposed in the contact surface.
According to an advantageous further development of the invention, a bipolar plug and socket connection is provided on the measuring head, whose one pole is connected to the signal processing electronics by connection to the second one of said electrodes and whose other pole is also connected to the signal processing electronics. In this way, the measuring head can be connected via the plug connection with adhesive electrodes, which are directly applicable to the body, if the aforementioned amniotic fluid moisture is not available or if it is not possible to use electrolytic cream, in order e.g. to perform impedance measurements for recording the respiratory rate.
According to another advantageous development of the invention, the transducer is provided with an adhesive electrode body, having two insulated juxtaposed electrodes which can be brought into contact with the human or animal body and a further bipolar plug and socket connection, one pole of the latter being connected to one electrode and the second pole to the other electrode. Appropriately, there is a cable for connecting the measuring head to the adhesive electrode body which has plug connections complementary to the first plug connection and the further plug connection. Such a transducer only needs two measuring members, namely the measuring head and the adhesive electrode body, whereas previously four measuring members, namely a measuring head for measuring the oxygen partial pressure and three electrodes for measuring the heart potentials were required.
According to another advantageous development of the invention, the bipolar plug connection and the further bipolar plug connection are in each case formed by a pushbutton plug connection, the pushbutton body forming the one pole and an axial core insulated from the pushbutton body forming the second pole. This provides a particularly simple connection possibility between the measuring head and adhesive electrode body.
The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter relative to non-limitative embodiments and with reference to the attached drawings, wherein show:
FIG. 1 an axial section through a measuring head according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 2 a part sectional side view of a measuring head according to a second embodiment with diagrammatically represented connected means.
FIG. 3 a side view of an adhesive electrode body with a pushbutton plug.
FIG. 1 shows a measuring head for the simultaneous measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure and the heart potential (electrocardiogram-ECG) with the foetus still in the uterus at the time of birth. The measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure takes place polarographically with the represented measuring head.
The measuring head has a measuring head body 6 made from plastic, which geometrically has a substantially axially symmetrically stepped construction with an upper frustum-shaped portion 61, a lower threaded cylindrical portion 62 and below the latter a smaller diameter, cylindrical portion 63. The latter is surrounded by a stepped ring 7, which is also made from plastic, and whose internal diameter substantially corresponds to the diameter of the smaller diameter cylindrical portion 63 and which at the back engages with the larger diameter cylindrical portion 62. In the gap between cylindrical portion 62, 63 on the one hand and ring 7 on the other is secured an oxygen-permeable diaphragm 8, e.g. made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which extends in front of the face of cylindrical portion 63 and, on fitting the measuring head e.g. to the head of the foetus, comes into contact with the latter. Behind diaphragm 8 is axially provided a reducing electrode 15 comprising a frontally free wire, preferably of platinum, sealed into a cylindrical glass member 14. Oxygen molecules diffused through diaphragm 8 are reduced on said electrode and the measured reducing current is a measure of the oxygen partial pressure in the tissue (e.g. the skin) to which the measuring head with its diaphragm 8 is applied. The reducing electrode is coaxially surrounded by an annular reference electrode 16, preferably made from silver. The reference electrode is heated by a filament winding 18, placed round a hollow cylindrical extension 19 of reference electrode 16 and which ensures that under the measuring electrode the skin is kept at a constant, elevated temperature, in order to ensure optimum blood supply (perfusion) and consequently the correct measurement of the oxygen partial pressure. The temperature is measured by means of a thermometer probe 21, e.g. formed by a thermistor. Between diaphragm 8 and the face of reducing electrode 15, glass member 14 and reference electrode 16 is located the electrolyte 20 necessary for the polarographic measurement and which is received also in an annular slot 22 in the face of portion 63. Glass member 14, in which is sealed the reducing electrode 15, and reference electrode 16, have a slightly crowned construction, in order to give the diaphragm 8 a slightly convex configuration at its contact face with the skin.
Onto the thread of cylindrical portion 62 is screwed a plastic nut 4, whose internal diameter is stepped in such a way that on screwing, the stepped ring 7 is pressed against cylindrical portion 62 and as a result diaphragm 8 is secured. The diaphragm-side face of nut 4 is essentially located in one place with diaphragm 8 and embedded therein is a metal ring, which projects somewhat out of the plane and together with diaphragm 8 gets in engagement with the skin. Metal ring 3 forms one of two electrodes for measuring the heart potential, the other electrode in the form of metal plate 1 being located outside the application surface on the rear side of the measuring head, i.e. that remote from the diaphragm. This remote side is the small face of the frustum-shaped portion 61. Metal ring 3 is connected by bolts or pins 9 passing in axial direction through plastic nut 4 with a further metal ring 5, which is embedded in or mounted on the side of nut 4 remote from the contact side. When nut 4 is screwed down, metal ring 5 engages with a further metal ring 2 fitted to the radial shoulder face between the frustum-shaped portion 61 and cylindrical portion 62. One (10) of two leads 10, 11 is connected to metal ring 2, said leads leading to an electrocardiograph. The other lead 11 is connected to plate 1. As a result of this construction, nut 4 can be removed, despite the electrical connected between metal ring 3 and lead 10 in the screwed-down state, and without hanging on a particular lead, i.e. both leads pass to the measuring head body 6. Cable 12 for measuring the oxygen partial pressure also passes away from body 6.
When measured externally on nut 4, the diameter of the measuring head is approximately 20 mm, whilst its height and therefore the spacing of the electrodes formed by metal plate 1 and metal ring 3 is approximately 10 mm.
For measurement purposes, the measuring head is, for example, stuck to the head or buttocks of the baby. The metal ring 3 embedded in nut 4 comes into contact with the skin, together with the diaphragm. Adhesion takes place by means of an adhesive paste applied in such a way that the latter also surrounds metal ring 3 and consequently prevents any access of amniotic fluid moisture thereto. As has already been stated, the metal ring 2 located on the measuring head body 6 is in conductive connection via metal ring 5 and bolts or pins 9 with the metal ring 3 on the foetal side embedded in the adhesive surface. Since the natural wetness of the foetus at the time of birth provides a conductive connection from the foetal body to electrode 1, but not to metal ring 3 as a result of the adhesive and, whilst taking account of the amniotic fluid, there is also an adequate spacing between the effective electrodes, this arrangement makes it possible to record the foetal electrocardiogram and by means of a R-peak analysis a beat-by-beat heart rate recording is made possible. In addition to this, the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure pO2 can be measured, together with a previously unmentioned skin blood supply measurement, which is based on the measurement of the electric current required for producing the elevated skin temperature by means of the silver heating electrode. The better the perfusion of the skin, the greater the heat removal through the blood, and consequently the necessary heating current.
The two electrocardiogram leads 10, 11 passing away from the measuring head are fixed in the plug of commercial cardiotocographs, whilst cable 12 which contains the connecting leads for electrodes 15, 16, filament winding 18 and thermometer probe 21 is connected to corresponding signal processing electronics.
As a result of the previously described arrangement, it is possible with a single measuring head to simultaneously record the heart rate, the skin perfusion and the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure for diagnosing the foetal circulation shock syndrome. The fitting of the electrode formed by metal plate 1 to the side of the measuring head remote from the contact side ensures, without taking up additional space, a good spacing of the two effective electrocardiogram electrodes, which supplies easily measurable potential differences.
The measuring head was tested under birth conditions, whilst measuring the foetal heart rate (using HEWLETT PACKARD 8030 cardiotocograph), labour pains (directly by means of HEWLETT PACKARD 8030 cardiotocograph), the relative local skin perfusion (via HELLIGE oxymonitor) and the transcutaneous foetal pO2 (via HELLIGE oxymonitor). All signals were satisfactorily recorded up to the actual time of birth.
FIG. 2 shows a transducer, which in particular permits a measurement which is independent of existing wetness or electrolytic cream, and which is also suitable for an impedance measurement with a view to a measurement of the respiratory rate.
With regards to the measuring head body 6 and the cooperating nut 4, the measuring head is constructed in the same way as that of FIG. 1. The polarographic measurement device contained within the same is also provided in the same way as in FIG. 1.
However, the following constructional differences exist. Metal plate 1 of FIG. 1 is replaced by a metal plate 101 (the second electrode), containing in its centre the male part 102 or first pole of a pushbutton plug 100 as part of the bipolar plug. Part 102 has an axial bore, which is filled with plastic 103 and in which is guided a line 105 which is part of the second pole insulated by the plastic from the remaining contact body of part 102. Line 105, coupled to the second pole, also continues in the head part, where it is once again insulated by means of plastic from metal plate 101 and continues on as line 113 to an electrocardiograph 120. Plate 101 is connected via line 111 to the electrocardiograph. Line 105 passing through part 102 of the pushbutton plug ends at a contact point 106, located in the axis of part 102.
On the counterpart or complementary of pushbutton plug is provided the female part 107, which is in contact with male part 102 when the connection is closed. Female part 107 also contains an axial bore in which is guided a line 109, which is insulated from the remainder of part 107 by plastic 108 and via which is connected a first electrode 201 of an adhesive electrode body 200 shown in FIG. 3. A line 114 connected with a second electrode 202 of the adhesive electrode body is connected to the body of the female part 107.
In the same way as line 105 ends at a contact point 106, line 109 ends in the axis of female part 107 at a contact point 115. In the case of a joined connector, the contact points 106 and 115 are in contact with one another and consequently form the connection between lines 105 and 109.
The adhesive electrode body 200 shown in FIG. 3 is an elliptical or circular disk on which are provided a first juxtaposed electrode 201 and a second juxtaposed electrode 202 as circular disks, an adhesive foil 205 being provided on the body surrounding the electrodes. For connecting electrodes 201, 202 to lines 109, 114 there is a pushbutton plug connection 210 or further bipolar plug, one part of which is on the said lines and the other part of which is on the adhesive electrode body 200. Connection 210, including the axial bushings and the connection points, is constructed in exactly the same way as the pushbutton connection 100 on the measuring head side.
In this embodiment of the transducer, the heart potentials are obtained from the patient's body by means of electrodes 201 (via the pushbutton plug in plug 210, line 109, line 105 and line 113), 202 (via the internal axial line in plug 210, line 114, complementary pushbutton plugs 102 and 107 and line 111) and the electrode formed by metal ring 3.
This transducer embodiment permits a simultaneous measurement of a gas partial pressure and heart action currents with three electrodes and in all only two measuring members. For the same measurement, originally four measuring members were required, namely a measuring head for measuring the gas partial pressure and three individual electrodes for measuring the heart potentials.
Since in the case of a corresponding fitting, the electrode body and the measuring head can move relative to one another during the rise and fall of the thorax which, by means of an impedance measurement, makes it possible to measure the respiratory rate, this embodiment provides a further advantage compared with the first embodiment.

COMMENTARY: Smart Technology Spans New Categories
by Reyne Rice, trend hunter, toy trend expert, industry analyst, and consultant
Smart tech for kids is no longer buzzword lingo. It has become a reality and has grown to encompass so much more than just technology added to toys to make them interesting or "tech-y." Today, kids' technology-enhanced products offer engaging and explorative play patterns that span a wide spectrum of categories.

"Revenge": Season Three begins with show back on track
If you've been a "Revenge" fan from the start, you probably became frustrated with the convoluted story lines of last season – I know I did.
"Revenge" is sweet, though, in the Season Three premiere as the show gets back on track with its focus on Emily's (Emily VanCamp) mission to take down the Grayson family for the demise of her father.
Victoria's (Madeleine Stowe) son Patrick (Justin Hartley) enters the scene, Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Emily's engagement is going strong, and Jack (Nick Wechsler) returns – these are just a few of the developments in a briskly paced, intriguing episode that's full of surprises.
And, it opens with a stunning scene that should make every fan become fully invested again in following this show.
Kudos to ABC for this great start – keep up the good work!
The third season of "Revenge" debuts at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29 on ABC.

Madness and Patsies Crash Together In Kubrick's Explosive Thunderbolt.
Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory is holding up rather well these days, in fact it's as pertinent and relevant as ever.
It's 1916 and the French and German armies are in opposing mud trenches, when the French are ordered to undertake a suicidal assault on a German held hill, many of the soldiers are quick to realise it's an impossible order to see through to its conclusion and retreat, something which brings charges of cowardice from the military hierarchy. Someone must take the fall...

Can You Help Me?
MariaOfColumbia replied to stann2's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI've heard an appendix can give you trouble for quite a while before going critical. And my son had lots of nausea and vomiting before his ruptured. Surely they checked you for appendicitis, though! That's so basic.
When Going Gluten Free Isn't Enough
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchThat's OK. And I'm not trying to imply that everyone ought to try a low histamine diet, either. I kind of envy you folks who only have to avoid gluten. When I was on a gluten-free diet, I thought that was hard. When I made a combined list of all the foods the various histamine intolerance websites and sat back and looked at it.... I was appalled. Who could do that???? But, it turns out... pain is a powerful behavioral modifier. It turns out that not only can I do the diet, I don't even like the smell of bread any more. I have kind of a "Yuck, that's poison!" reaction now to most of the foods I can't eat. In case anyone's interested, here's the big list consolidated from all the websites I could find. It contains both foods that have a high histamine content, or foods that cause your body to release histamines. Alcohol Anise Apricot Artificial colors Artificial flavors Avocado Bacon Baking mix Bananas Beans, red Beans, soy Beer Blue Cheese Bratwurst Buttermilk Cake decorations Candies, commercial Cashews Champagne Cheese Cherry Chicken Chickpeas Chocolate Cider Cinnamon Citrus Cloves Cocoa Coffee Confectionary Cranberry Currant Curry Date Drinks, carbonated egg white Eggplant Fish Fish, canned Flour, bleached Gelatin, flavored Gherkin pickles Grapefruits Ham Icings, ready made Ketchup Kiwi Loganberry Mango Margarine Meals, prepackaged Meats, leftover Meats, processed Milk, flavored Mincemeat Miso Mushrooms Mustard Nectarine Nutmeg nuts Olives Orange Papayas Paprika Parmesan Cheese Pea Peach Peanuts Pears Pineapple Pizza Plums Preservatives Prunes Prunes, red Pumpkin Raisins Raspberries Red Wine Relish Salads, commercially prepared Salami Sauerkraut Sausage shellfish Soy sauce Spinach Strawberries Sunflower seeds Syrups, flavored Tangerines Tea, all Tea, black Tofu Tomato Ketchup Tomatoes Vegetables, canned Vinegar, balsamic Vinegar, red wine Walnuts Wheat Wine Yeast Yogurt
I'm sorry if I seemed to invalidate you histamine issues. I didn't mean to. I'm glad that you got things figured out so that you can be healthy again. Good health is so important.
When Going Gluten Free Isn't Enough
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI've proved gluten isn't the issue with me by eating rye products without problem. Not only did I make and eat those rye biscuits as a test half a year ago... but my pancake/waffle recipe now has rye in it as well. And I eat that every day. It was wheat that was and is the issue. One of them. I can eat a little bit of wheat, but not often and not daily. Whether that is due to histamine content of wheat or not- I really don't know or care. I can't eat anything yeast raised or fermented though. Not in any quantity. OK, that's not quite true. My pancake recipe has a dab of buttermilk in it-- but it's obviously not enough to set me off. From what I gather, histamine intolerance is kind of like a cup. You can only take so many histamines from the various sources (food's not the only one) and then when the cup fills and starts overflowing you have problems. Anyone can get sick from histamine poisoning. Most people won't eating normal food. My "cup" is pretty small, and I have to watch food levels, allergen levels, and stress levels because all of those produce histamine which my body for some unknown reason cannot mop up quickly. In fact, I've made it a policy to never risk eating anything risky when I'm feeling sniffly or my eyes are itchy. Everything has some histamine in it, and if I'm already at my max load and starting to feel it, it's best just to eat very safe food or skip a meal all together.
When Going Gluten Free Isn't Enough
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI was so invested in the idea that I was gluten intolerant that when I started reacting to homemade yogurt half a year into it, I assumed that the dry milk I'd been adding to it was contaminated and I threw it out. A new box produced the same result, though, so it MUST be that the factory wasn't gluten free. I did have plenty of reason to believe that gluten was the problem, though. There was the quieting of GI symptoms, the disapearance of joint pain... and most strange of all- my hair started growing in curly! I've always had long wavy hair, but once I started eating gluten free, the new hairs grew in kinky! They still are, for that matter. I figure in about five years (seven years is the average hair life span, isn't it?) I'll have a whole new hair texture to deal with. That's not such a welcome change, but it IS an easy to see one. When I walk out into the wind now, the short kinky hairs blow free of the long wavy ones and poof up into a weird frizzy mound on the top of my head. However, more changes started upon escalating to histamine free eating. The most noticable is that I've apparently stopped producing ear wax. For 40 years, it's been my habit to clean my ear canals with a Q tip after showering (yeah, I know that's frowned upon nowadays, but I still do it.) About a month after going histamine free, I noticed that the Q tip always came out clean. I keep doing it, but it's always clean now. I don't know what to think about that one. Also, I got my ability to digest lactose back. Going gluten free didn't do that, but going histamine free did! Woo hoo! So many systems can be affected by this sort of thing. It constantly amazes me.
When Going Gluten Free Isn't Enough
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchFood is such a basic need that people really have trouble imagining that what they were taught was good for them and tastes good..... isn't. For me this whole experience has been like losing my religion. I've eaten "healthy" my whole life. Whole grains and organic food was how I was raised. I believed that I was eating the best food I could for optimal health. I'd bake whole wheat bread from scratch. I'd grow tomatoes and eat them fresh from the garden because they were so good for me. When I'd get a cold, I'd drink lots of orange juice because that's what you do for a cold... Sure, I'd buy the occasional oatmeal creme pie or make a big batch of chocolate chip cookies.... but on the whole I was eating what should have been a really healthy diet. As it turns out, it's better for me to eat a hamburger patty, french fries and ice cream than that complex, varied and Oh So Healthy diet I grew up with. I found that quite depressing for a while. How could everything I believed about food for 40 years be so terribly wrong? How can a hot dog and potato chips be better for me than a peanut butter jelly sandwich? Last year, I didn't even grow a garden. Really, what's the point? I'm not doing it this year, either. Yeah, I can still eat green beans and sweet corn, but it's not really worth the effort for just two items that I can get in decent condition frozen at the store. And I never could grow potatoes worth a darn. I still try to eat healthy within my extreme limitations. The meat we use is grass fed and organic. The french fries we fry in olive oil. The rice is brown. The ice cream is all natural. But my heart really isn't in it anymore. I was betrayed by eating "healthy." Well, maybe not betrayed... but for a while there a Weird Al song kept runnning through my head, "Every thing I know is WRONG!" Now I'm hesitant to be sure that even histamine intolerance is the absolute, ultimate answer. My "faith" has been shot. But, however, this is the model that works best for me- so I'll stick with it for now.
When Going Gluten Free Isn't Enough
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchYeah, I was going down the spiral of looking for smaller and smaller quantities of possible gluten contamination when I found out about a gluten home test kit. I bought a couple of the GlutenTox tests and started testing food that made me react. Nothing I tested had measurable gluten in it. So I tested some wheat crackers just to make sure the test itself wasn't a scam.... and it worked for that. So at this point I really had a fork in the road. Was I so incredibly sensitive that I'd react to less than 5 ppm? Or was there something else going on? I could have easily gone down the rabbit hole of "Oh, Gee, I'm sooooooo sensitive" when my boss (who is a literal genius and really into nutrition) pointed out that it really didn't pass the common sense test and there HAD to be something else going on. I was a little resistant to that idea. After all, I felt *better* on a gluten-free diet! Right after that I reacted to pristine tuna salad that tested gluten free. So, I started googling and soon ran across histamine intolerance. That's it. I don't think it's salycilates. Aspirin has never bothered me and I can eat several foods listed that the wikipedia article says are to be avoided, as well as can't eat several it says are OK. The two syndromes are quite similar, though.
When Going Gluten Free Isn't Enough
MariaOfColumbia posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchA year and a half ago I was in pretty bad shape. Acid reflux/ constipation/ esophageal spasms/ constant abdominal bloating along with constant powerful burps- such that they interupted sleep / eczema and then my joints started hurting a lot and I was diagnosed with early osteoarthritis and told I'd better get used to it, that this was who I was from there on out. Since my family has a history of sensitive stomachs, I dismissed all the GI stuff as something I could do nothing about. I'd seen a doctor, and she had no suggestions for me besides losing weight and taking drugs. The arthritis I sighed about and went on. But the eczema was in my eyelids and was starting to get really painful and oozing. There HAD to be something I could do about that! So, after much internet searching, I found a suggestion that a wheat free diet could help with that sort of thing. What the heck. Maybe it would help. After a week of no wheat products (you know how hard that is at first!) I suddenly noticed that my GI symptoms had subsided. For the first time in a very long time, my tummy was QUIET. Wow! So I read up on gluten free diet and decided that must be my problem. I learned how to keep a completely gluten free kitchen and waited for the eczema in my eyelids to go away. A month passed, but no results. After a particularly shameful chocoholic attack, I noticed that the eyelid problem was worse than ever. The light bulb went on, finally. What if it was (oh help!) chocolate? It was. After a week of no chocolate, my eyelids healed and haven't flared up since. OK, so ... it's gluten and chocolate. After another month, my joints stopped hurting! THAT was unexpected, and quite welcome! So much for you, Dr. Rheumatologist! Telling me there was no hope. Despite my care in the kitchen and almost never eating out, I kept getting "glutened". I'd be in pain for days after eating the wrong thing. I could only assume that tiny, tiny microquantities of gluten were somehow getting into the ingredients I was using since I kept reading about that possibility on this site. Even gluten free meal mixes bought from a dedicated gluten free factory would hurt me. It was terribly, terribly frustrating. I'd make a pretty good loaf of gluten free bread (NOT easy) and be hurting for days. The same with gluten free pizza. And even the absolutely delicious gluten free carrot cake I developed. Finally a year later, after getting hit bad by an impossible meal (tuna salad with lots of boiled eggs in it) I started looking for another answer. After googling "tuna intolerance" I came upon a website about histamine intolerance. After an unbelieving look at the long, long list of foods that histamine intolerant people can't eat, I dismissed it. That couldn't be me. That was just crazy! No one could live like that! But it kept nagging me. Later that week I had a single boiled egg for breakfast with nothing but water. I reacted. A glass of orange juice a day later. I reacted. Oh, no... it probably was histamine intolerance. As a final test I made some biscuits with rye flour (rye has no histamines, but some gluten) and I was OK. If I'd been gluten intolerant, I'd have been in agony for a few days. So, histamine intolerance it is. Now, there isn't a comprehensive, cool, respected website for histamine intolerance. There are a bunch of small ones, mostly in Europe, and the foods listed don't always agree. Of course there are the main categories of anything fermented or yeast raised and tomatoes and wheat and fish and eggs and citrus... but that's the tip of the iceberg. I went to all the sites I could find and made a master list of ALL the foods listed and spent a couple of weeks avoiding them all. I felt fine. Now one by one every week or so, I try something new on the list and am slowly developing my own personal list of foods I can't eat. Most of them, I can't. But some on that list I can. And some of them are OK in limited quantities. And it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Sure, there are times when I have episodes of Poor Me... can't eat what I want to eat.... but I get over it. Knowing what to avoid and being successful at it is priceless. It's a hundred times better than hurting all the time and not knowing why and doctors just trying to put a drug bandaid on the problem. (Yes, I did see a digestive specialist several times, but she was rather unhelpful.) Histamine intolerance isn't something that's taught in the med schools in the US, I guess. I've been avoiding histamines for half a year now and I almost never get hurt by food any more. Sometimes I'll try a new thing and have to add it to my personal "can't eat" list (like real maple syrup... who'd have thunk it?) but for the most part my systemic inflammation has gone way down. I just thought I'd share this. Sometimes it isn't teeny tiny bits of gluten causing the problem. In my case, wheat is just a subset of a much larger catagory of foods I must not eat.
Poll- How Tall Are You?
MariaOfColumbia replied to Cinnamongirl's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI'm 5'5" and have size ten feet. I assume my growth was stunted, because otherwise my feet would be more in proportion to my height.
Hair Texture Change?
MariaOfColumbia replied to sillycinder's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI've had slightly wavy light brown hair all my life. After 5 months off gluten (except for accidental exposures) the new hairs on the top of my head are coming in dark, thick and twisty like cork screws! They won't smooth down to meld with the rest of the long wavy hair. The rest of my hair is very long, so I'm kind of worried that I'll have to cut it and let the short twisty stuff be the new texture of my hair. I like having hair past my waist. I don't want to cut it just because the new hairs are so different, but as more and more wirey stuff comes in, I may have to. Or put up with looking like a clown with a cloud of wirey dark hair on the top of my head and long wavy light brown stuff hanging down beneath. I've been using anti frizz shampoo for several months now, but the new hairs seem to be immune to anti-frizz technology. Sproing! Like corkscrews.
First Menstrual Period gluten-free, Feeling Aweful!
MariaOfColumbia replied to possiblyglutensensitive's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithSome feminine hygiene products have wheat based absorbants in them. Pads have always given me trouble, causing intense soreness wherever the pad touches me, and I have to use homemade papertowel pads at night just to give my body a break. This past period, I used the papertowel pads during the day too on the last day, since is was a weekend and I was staying home, and the soreness completely disappeared that day. So, I've ordered some organic cotton pads for my next period. I think my difficulty with the pads was a gluten issue, and I hope the new pads will make my next period easier.
Dry Milk Powder
MariaOfColumbia posted a topic in Gluten-Free Ingredients & Food Labeling IssuesI finally used up my box of instant nonfat dry milk powder, but when I bought a new box and got it home, it had that disclaimer below the ingredients... you know the one: This product may contain trace amounts of wheat... blah, blah, blah. I didn't even think to check the previous box. It's milk powder! Why would there be wheat???? I've been looking online to find if anyone else has that kind of disclaimer and even Bob's Red Mill dried milk says that. Does anyone know of a safe dried milk powder? I was reacting to the yogurt I made with the previous box of dried milk, so it's pretty much a sure thing that it was contaminated, too. I like how the dried milk solidifies the yogurt and makes it creamier, so I want to keep adding it, but not at the expense of trace amounts of gluten. Yogurt I made without the dried milk suited my innards just fine, so it's not a lactose thing.
I'm Coming At This Backwards
MariaOfColumbia posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsI'm 48 years old, and never thought that I might have celiac disease. My father's side of the family has a reputation for having stomach troubles, so I never even considered going to a doctor for mine when they started. It's just part of life, I supposed. Eventually, though, things got so bad with acid reflux, constant burping and esophageal spasms that I went to a GI doctor last year. She told me it was likely due to being overweight and scheduled me for a upper endoscopy and put me on Rantadine. After few days and some scary side effects, I quit the drug and cancelled the appointment for endoscopy. Why pay for an expensive test when weight loss would probably fix the situation? A few months later, a problem I've had before resurfaced. The crease of my eyelid got sore. I know this seems minor, and I put up with it for months hoping it would heal, but it didn't this time. By August, both eyelids were involved and when I blinked you could see the puffy, angry red lines in the creases. I did some reading and decided it might be eczema and found that eyelid eczema might be helped by a gluten free diet. So, I went gluten free. Within days my GI symptoms cleared up! I was amazed. I thought I was genetically doomed to have tummy troubles my whole life- and yet here it was.... hard to ignore data like that. I kept at it in wonder, hardly daring to believe it was true (and waiting for the eyelids to clear up) when I noticed something else. Last summer, I was diagnosed with early onset osteoarthritis. The rheumatologist literally told me, "This is who you are now, get used to it." I did my best to comply.... but after a couple of months on a gluten-free diet, the arthritis is GONE! I have pain free joints again. I was delighted with the gluten-free diet and started considering the fact that I might actually be gluten intolerant or maybe even celiac. My eyelids didn't clear up, though, and a little more reading about eczema showed common triggers were chocolate. Since I was a chocoholic, and was making up for the lack of decent baked goods with even more chocolate- after a particularly shameful binge my eyelids started oozing plasma. Oh. Crap. It's got to be chocolate. So, I quit chocolate and my eyelids cleared up right away. So, now it's been a few months and I've been lurking on this site while figuring all this out, and it's probably too late to get real tests done... but in reading more and more about celiac and gluten intolerance, I begin to think I've got a lot more symptoms than I thought. Lifelong constipation Lifelong sores in scalp if I use the "wrong" shampoo Occasional outbreaks on my torso of teeny tiny "hives" the doctor called them Brain fog & memory problems for the past 10 years at least Osteoporosis the aforementioned acid reflux, burping, and esophageal spasms Can't sweat unless I take a lot of electrolytes beforehand Lactose intolerance Arthritis A scaly spot on my nose that wouldn't heal for months, but has now gone away. And my sense of smell comes and goes. I used to think it was due to excess sugar consumption, but it's probably tied to gluten. I haven't had any loss of smell since going gluten free. Since going gluten free, I've had more and more severe reactions to the numerous occasions of being accidently glutened. Abdominal bloating and severe pain have joined the repertoire of GI symptoms. My husband is very supportive of my gluten-free diet, so I don't really *need* an offcial diagnosis. However, I feel like I ought to warn my kids- and they have become very sceptical of my numerous self diagnoses over the years. I'll try every home remedy there is for something before going to a doctor, and they have a somewhat justified bad opinion of my attempts to figure out What_Is_Wrong_With_Me over the years. I had to. Doctors were useless. Anyway, I'm definitely gluten intolerant if not full fledged celiac, and one or both of my parents probably are too. And probably a couple of my kids as well-- if not all three. I've told them my condition. Is there a convincing way to tell them they've probably got it too? Or will I just have to wait until they are older and experiencing significantly uncomfortable symptoms and are willing to entertain the idea? I know I'd heard of celiac disease before, but always dismissed the notion both because I didn't fit the classic symptoms shown in most websites, and because the thought of not having baked yummy stuff was intolerable. Now I've learned to bake gluten free, and it's not so bad anymore. I was a near expert baker before, and it was quite humiliating going through the learning curve this fall.... but I'm back to impressing people with food again. If only you could try the carrot cake I baked at Thanksgiving. Scrumptious!
Paper Cut! Am I Glutened?
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI've got it on reserve at my local library now, thanks. It ought to become available soon. Looks like there are 2 editions out there.
Paper Cut! Am I Glutened?
MariaOfColumbia replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithWell, if the cut heals terribly, then we'll know my immune system is attacking the area visciously. I wonder how the body knows where the gluten is coming from, anyway, when it attacks the villi? Maybe from its point of view, it's obvious that the gut is the source of the contamination. I wonder if gluten introduced in a cut would provoke a response in that area? If gluten is so horrible that one's villi must be damaged to keep it out, then you'd thing a cut would be just as scary.

Manhunt Creates Surreal Scene in Boston Region
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
Published: April 19, 2013
BOSTON — Hundreds of thousands of people across the Boston region woke up Friday morning to a surreal scene of terror on their television screens: a massive manhunt was under way in their normally tranquil neighborhoods for the lone surviving suspect of the marathon bombings.
Connect With Us on Twitter
Follow @NYTNational for breaking news and headlines.
And if they looked out their windows, they saw the same thing in real life an overwhelming show of force by heavily armed law enforcement officers. SWAT teams roamed their streets, rifles raised and helicopters circled overhead. In some cases, police officers banged on doors and searched neighborhoods house by house.
A sense of fear rippled across a region already on edge from Monday's bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 170 others. The suspects' crime spree, which began about 10:30 p.m. Thursday with a robbery at convenience store, quickly snowballed into deadly rampage that took the life of an M.I.T. campus police officer who was sitting in his car and left one suspect dead after a Wild West-like shootout in the streets of suburban Watertown.
It was a gray but unusually warm morning that finally promised the arrival of spring in southern New England. But residents of Watertown, many of whom could not have slept through the police sirens and volleys of gunfire, were quickly put in lockdown.
At 5:45 a.m., Gov. Deval Patrick ordered all public transit shut down, including the subway. Amtrak trains were halted south of Boston. Several area colleges, including Harvard, M.I.T. and Boston University, canceled Friday classes. By 6:30, residents of Cambridge received recorded phone calls telling them to "shelter in place," meaning to stay home.
At 7:10, residents of Newton Center, received a recorded phone call from Newton's chief of police telling them one suspect was dead and the other was armed, dangerous and in the area. The call advised residents to stay inside with doors locked and not to let anyone in. It urged businesses to close and asked people not to dial 911 unless it was a true emergency.
By 8 o'clock, the governor appeared at a makeshift command post in Watertown to say that he was extending his "shelter in place" order to "all of Boston." Taxis were ordered off the streets.
The morning was riddled with false alarms. Parts of Commonwealth Avenue, a major artery through Boston, were blocked off while agents checked for a potential danger in Kenmore Square. When that proved false, another danger zone popped up somewhere else.
Any relief that the bombing suspects had been caught had to be put on hold until the residents here could first feel safe.
