Stunning Discoveries Regarding Iron, Obesity, Candida & Thyroid

Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
The information contained in this groundbreaking article applies to at least 75 percent of people who are struggling to lose weight. It is a major factor contributing to the fatigue associated with being overweight and having symptoms of hypothyroid. It involves new discoveries regarding iron metabolism and explains why even if you eat foods containing plenty of iron you may still have rather dramatic iron deficiency issues, which handicap your metabolism and thyroid function.
Traditional thinking about iron is that either you get enough in your diet or you don't. People who don't eat red meat, menstruating women, those who exercise a lot, and those with digestive bleeding or other blood loss issues are at risk for iron deficiency and either functional or blatant anemia. In general, iron deficiency is thought to be associated with undernutrition or malnourishment.
Ironically, in the past few years it has become clear that at least half the people who are overweight have impaired iron metabolism detectable on blood tests. In many of these cases dietary iron intake was adequate, perplexing researchers. It now appears that inflammation associated with excess body weight elevates a hormone in your liver called hepcidin, which has the net effect of reducing iron absorption into your body from your digestive tract. The result is a metabolic nightmare of weight gain, fatigue, and poor thyroid function.
Hepcidin 101
Hepcidin is a hormone produced in your liver, discovered in 2000. Scientists discovered that it regulates iron use throughout your body (iron homeostasis). One of the ways in which hepcidin regulates iron status is by deciding how much iron to let into your body. In essence, it communicates directly to the cells of your digestive tract, either allowing them to let iron in or not. High levels of hepcidin reduce or prevent dietary iron intake, regardless of the iron content of your food.
It is now clear that hepcidin levels elevate in response to inflammation. This could be from inflammation of any type: infection, toxin exposure, excess alcohol, medications, injury, excess exercise, lack of sleep, too much stress, etc. In this regard, being overweight is an ongoing inflammatory problem wherein your extra pounds of white adipose tissue crank out inflammatory signals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as if someone will not stop yelling at you. The more excess weight you have, the higher the inflammation (in addition to all other potential sources of inflammation).
Iron is utterly indispensable to your metabolism and survival. For example, mice that are genetically bred to have high levels of hepcidin die within a few days from iron deficiency. Iron is need for growth, repair, assembly of proteins into your body structures, nerve function, and much more.
On the other hand, iron is highly reactive. Your body literally keeps it in cages like ferritin, similar to a lion at the zoo. When needed, the lion is let out at the proper place and time so that it can do something useful. If the cage is opened at the wrong time or place, iron can jump out and set off damaging free radical chain reactions. It appears that hepcidin intentionally reduces iron intake during times of inflammatory stress to prevent the inflammation from damaging iron transport and storage systems (causing inappropriate iron release). In other words, if your body is in a state of inflammatory wear and tear it may be difficult to use iron in a healthy way.
This offers excellent survival features for short-term inflammatory distress. However, a chronically inflamed person, as from obesity, can develop a real catch-22 wherein hepcidin is elevated for too long, creating a scenario of ongoing iron deficiency, either functional (meaning not enough iron for metabolism to function well) or blatant (meaning anemia).
Rampant overuse of antibiotics and high-sugar diets have created an epidemic of candida albicans overgrowth in overweight people. This is especially common in overweight people with thyroid problems, as I have observed first hand since 1985. Interestingly, hepcidin is a powerful antifungal. This means that your body may raise hepcidin levels as part of its natural defense against candida overgrowth. Again, this has survival advantages, especially in olden times. However, in a population of overweight people with antibiotic-induced candida overgrowth, it is a double whammy against functional metabolism.
The Impact of Low Iron on Metabolism
A new study details the dire metabolic consequences of low iron status. It shows that low iron turns on genes in your liver and muscles that promote fat storage and cause abnormal blood sugar elevation – precisely what goes wrong with metabolism that leads to the metabolic syndrome.
The consequence to thyroid metabolism is twofold. First, the inactive thyroid hormone, T4, is converted to the biologically active hormone, T3, mostly on cell membranes of liver cells. Hepcidin is made in your liver and is produced excessively in response to high inflammation. Such inflammation will also damage liver cell membranes, thus reducing the conversion of T4 to T3. This is one main reason why inflammation of any type disturbs thyroid function.
Second, when biologically active thyroid, T3, binds to cell membranes and communicates to the nucleus of your cells how fast their metabolic pace should be set, it is like a hormone manager giving an order to a cell factory. The worker bees in the cell factory then need iron for the genes that will implement the thyroid order. In fact, the next 80 metabolic genes responding to a thyroid order all need iron. If iron is lacking, metabolism simply cannot run at an optimal pace, resulting in all the symptoms of hypothyroid—even in the presence of normal T4 and normal T3.
Even if iron is normal on a blood test, a person can still have all the problems above, though levels tend to be toward the lower end of the normal range. Hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct) are also on the low side of the normal with this problem. One or another being out of range or on the low side signifies a major problem. Serum ferritin is typically low or low normal, unless inflammation is very high, which can actually drive up ferritin scores. Lab tests can help; however, fatigue along with trouble losing weight despite eating better and exercising are general indicators of a potential problem.
Solving Iron Deficiency Relating to Stubborn Weight
Adequate iron intake (red meat) compared to obvious iron loss (menstrual cycles, etc.) is still important to understand. However, this new data says that a condition of less inflammation must exist in order for iron to work properly in your body.
The most basic approach is to follow The Leptin Diet®, which is anti-inflammatory. As you begin to lose weight, you reduce inflammation, hepcidin levels should come down, and the iron in your diet will work better. If you have little iron in your diet, you should take a high-quality iron supplement. I like iron glycinate, a true protein chelate of iron. I would stay away from all cheap iron salts such as ferrous sulfate (these cause free radical damage).
There are many basic supplements that are fundamental to metabolism along with a good diet, as I have outlined in The Leptin Diet Weight Loss Challenge #1 – Overview and Basic Needs. All of these are significantly contribute to anti-inflammatory basic nutrition. Based on the new information in this article, it is accurate to say that ensuring you have adequate iron intake should be added to this basic list of nutrient needs for weight loss, especially in conjunction with basic anti-inflammatory nutrition.
A more comprehensive approach to this specific issue is to take an iron supplement as a trial to see if it helps your energy. Additionally, fat-soluble antioxidants that are targeted to improve liver function would be top choices. My top recommendations would be acetyl-l-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, tocotrienol E, r-alpha lipoic acid, and silymarin. Many other anti-inflammatory nutrients may also be of value. Your bottom line is to get enough support to engage the process of weight loss, maintain steady progress, improve your energy level, and direct your hemoglobin and hematocrit levels to the middle of the normal range on a blood test.
Some individuals may need to employ a more targeted anti-candida program to fully solve this problem. I discuss these topics more fully in my series of comprehensive articles on the Leptin Diet Weight Loss Challenge. It is important to know the direction you are heading. If you are doing well and making progress, you are most likely doing enough – at least as long as you are getting somewhere. If you hit a plateau or fail to get out of the starting block, you certainly need to become an active problem solver for your metabolic issues. Hepcidin issues are far more common than not in any person who struggles with weight.
Your body handles iron as a top priority, since it is both vital to survival and potentially problematic. Iron is essential for proper metabolism, including normal thyroid activation and cellular function. Obesity-induced inflammation elevates a hormone called hepcidin, which has the unfortunate side effect of disrupting iron metabolism in your body. This mechanism helps you overcome short-term inflammation and was very handy in olden times for survival purposes. In modern times, especially in a population of overweight people who often have candida issues, it can viciously lock malfunctioning metabolism in place. Solving the problem requires adequate iron intake, along with a reduction in inflammation. Reducing life stress helps. Sleeping better helps. Following The Leptin Diet® also helps. Many dietary supplements also help reduce inflammation. Especially important are fat-soluble antioxidants that help reduce inflammation in the liver (the place of hepcidin synthesis). Use enough support to feel a difference in your energy level, while engaging and sustaining the process of healthy weight loss. There is a path to a healthier you!

Greg Ramsey has a bone to pick with the way a number of Missoula and Montana courts display Old Glory. It's not that the flags don't have enough stars or stripes—Ramsey has a problem with the flags' gold fringe. He says that's a military flag, indicating military court procedures, and has no place in civilian courts.
"I believe that the courts have frauded people out of several rights," he says. "They've gotten to the point where if they find some arbitrary or imaginary technicality, they can basically do away with rights, and I think they've done it under this flag."
According to Army Regulations 840-10, a U.S. flag with gold fringe is a military flag.
"The U.S. Supreme Court has stated that flags mean something," he says. "The fringe, with all reasonable interpretations of statutes and regulations, implies a military court room—an unconstitutional, unlawful, criminal one, but nevertheless a military court room."
Ramsey has argued his case in front of Municipal Court Judge Don Louden, Justice of the Peace John Odlin and a number of district court judges, but hasn't gotten much of a response. On the local court circuit, Ramsey and his case have become a fixture.
"He's been doing this for years," says Missoula County Detective Dave Fowlkes, who is in charge of court bailiffs. "There have been a few times where we've had to come over and take him out of court."
Fowlkes says he's no expert, but he doesn't think Ramsey's case is going anywhere.
"If it was illegal to fly these flags, the Department of the Army would have done something about it a long time ago," says Fowlkes.
Rattling off court cases and U.S. codes with astonishing familiarity, Ramsey says he won't be dissuaded by naysaying judges or law enforcement officers. After being ignored or tossed out of local courts and the Montana Supreme Court, he's recently taken his case all the way to the top—the U.S. Supreme Court. As of yet, the Supreme Court hasn't responded.

Spring collection is here and if anyone is in the NY area, we previewed it today at Big-Als Gun Show in suffern (Rockland county). We were there today and are there tommorow and will be at a show in April in Syracuse as well.
Our website will be updated hopefully by tuesday with everything.
But just wanted to let the New Yorkers/New Jersey and PA Folks who may be interested they can get "Gun show" pricing.
But just as a preview:
We have concealment high end designer shirts in that workman canvase type of material. Perfect for our freinds who requested something to throw over a shirt in a warm weather climate.
Also we made lightweight and medium weight bomber workman canvas duck jackets. The bomber jacket is zip front, with YKK zipp construction and is in black.
We made a 3/4 Style as well--same workmans duck canvas in a 3/4 length in black.
What I love is our orvis, gortex type waterproof jacket in a 3/4 lenght with tuckaway hood. The hood rolls right in the color!
This made for Women as well.
All jackets and jacket shirts are sized from Large all the way to 3XL>
We also made the waterproof in a womens style as well.
Our holsters will be comming soon and so will our matching cow belts. We are looking in the velcro for the belts.
What we have left now on our site just winter stock that is ready to be shipped!
For those that may be new, our jackets are designed by us and made for us. We use only the highest quality leathers and non leather items, YKK zippers and have our seams double stitched.
All our concealment pockets are duel sided, so lefties and right handed can use, you can double carry and the pockets are deep enough to throw some mags in there. You can double carry and still have rooms to throw your keys, cell phone or whatever you need in there.
What makes us different is that access to the concealment area is done by silent zipper and NOT sticky velcro (that defeats the purpose from a noise standpoint!)
What our customers love is that these look like everyday jackets, so its very classy and discreet.
Any questions, please ask at email@example.com
Thanks to all our customers!

Shadeland town clerk killed in Tippecanoe County crash
Shadeland's town clerk-treasurer was killed in a crash involving several vehicles Thursday night.
According to the Tippecanoe County sheriff, Peggy Vanschepen was driving a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am in the westbound lanes of State Road 25 West when her car was struck from behind by a Pontiac G6 driven by Sarah Pitts.
The force of the impact pushed Vanschepen's car into the eastbound lanes, where it was struck by Brent Wallace, who was driving a 1980 Chevy Camaro. The Camaro was pushed south and struck a Toyota Highlander driven by James Sims, who was stopped on County Road 250 West facing north.
Vanschepen was taken to St. Elizabeth East Hospital with chest pains and possible broken ribs. Her condition later deteriorated and she died at the hospital of internal injuries. Pitts and Wallace had minor injuries. Sims and a passenger were not injured.
Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be factors in the crash, which is still under investigation.

Now, Stephenson is cleared and ready to take the court helping the Bearcats squad strengthen their roster for what should be a very strong year.
Here is Stephenson's player evaluation from Scout.com.
One of the most physical wing players in the nation. His body is too strong for most high school wings and he's able to get into the paint at will. Shot is an area for improvement and he's gotten better in that area each season. Plays an attacking style and with a body similar to LeBron's, it works for him. Competitive, wears his emotions on his sleeve.
Stephenson will take his place with the Bearcats tonight and be looked upon to provide even more offense in what should be Mick Cronin's best season as head coach at Cincinnati.

IRL-CART Merger
The numbers don't lie. Can the merger work? Open-wheel racing faces the future.
At the reception in 2004, Kalkhoven had projected that Champ Car would produce positive cash flow within 18 months. Instead, he and his partners discovered that they would immediately have to pay the full freight for two-thirds of the 18-car field just to meet contractual obligations with promoters, after racing legends and team owners Bobby Rahal and Adrian Fernandez defected to the IRL.
A conservative estimate is that Kalkhoven's crowd had to invest an average of $25 million a year to keep the thing alive, but it was likely much more. By last season, revenues had peaked at $34.8 million, less than half than in CART's heyday. Fees paid by promoters were a quarter of what they had been, sponsorship revenue was nominal, and the company still had to pay the TV networks a minimum of $12 million to have its races produced and televised. All this expense came before a slew of teams were paid to answer the green flag.
Kalkhoven and company had purchased the bankrupt CART for $6 million in January 2004, a scant three months before that year's Long Beach race. They were also either the owners or promoters of the races in Long Beach, Cleveland, Toronto, Portland, Denver, Las Vegas, Montreal, Monterrey (Mexico), and Mexico City, which at best broke even, but most cost millions.
Kalkhoven wanted to position Champ Car as the North American–based alternative to Formula 1. Recently, amid the throngs in his hospitality trailer at Long Beach, where his driver, Will Power, had won the finale, he pontificated: "It turns out that in Champ Car we had a great business model in terms of what the fans wanted to see. We struggled with finding a model that the sponsors could deal with, with a nonintegrated series."
In bankruptcy court in March, Tony George spent $6.25 million for the Champ Car medical trailer and the former series' intellectual property (trademarks, trade names, and the historical record books). Separately, George paid $3.75 million to Kalkhoven and Forsythe to fund a full grid for the final race at Long Beach. For the Champ Car teams transferring to the IRL, it is costing George in excess of $3.2 million per car ($1.3 million in "tow money" and the balance in free equipment and engine leases).
For this season alone, George is on the hook for more than $40 million to pay for the "unification." And there are ongoing costs, such as forgoing the $7.5 million in payments from the Long Beach promoter (Kalkhoven and Forsythe) for five years.
The principals insist that as mind-boggling as the numbers are, they don't paint the big picture.
As Tony George observed at the Queen Mary reception, "I think what we paid for is more a partnership, in working with the other principals involved. Kevin and Gerry are both obviously well-to-do individuals, very successful individuals, and what they received in the form of payment is irrelevant in the scheme of things.
"I think their decision to work with us, to help advance the fortunes of open-wheel racing, is what's important," George continued.
But will the unification really do anything, beyond adding 10 or so cars to what used to be 17- or 18-car fields?
The one measurement to which everyone points is that the "unified" series will generate new sponsorship. Big-money sponsors did not want to be part of a "split" open-wheel world.
Problem is, marketers know the value in the IRL is primarily in the Indy 500. They also know that the IRL audience is decidedly "gray," with well over 40 percent of ABC's IRL audience being older than age 55 and 80 percent older than 35. The youthful audience (ages 24 to 35) that racing is supposed to be attracting just isn't there.
Nick Craw, the president of ACCUS (an omnibus organization for sanctioning bodies, including NASCAR, NHRA, and the IRL), believes that substantial sponsors are in the offing, but he is also pragmatic about the future. He says, "It can only get better; it can't get worse. The $64,000 question is whether they can make omelets out of these eggs."

Studying permaculture allows you to think about gardening and resources in a different way. I've also been fortunate to read about the wonderful uses of some plants that you may not know about and I'd love to share this information with you.
- Bamboo – OK so it can spread like wildfire if it is not a clumping species and contained. That could be a good thing, if you want a fence or privacy screen or have a large block of land. Otherwise get the clumping kind and pot it up. It's a hardy and extremely fast growing plant. It produces mulch and sticks for trellising plants, as well as many other uses in the garden.
- Plant a toilet paper bush – According to Isabell Shipard's "How can I prepare with Self-sufficiency and Survival Foods?" there are two bushes that can substitute as toilet paper with their large soft leaves. The Arla bush (Tihonia) which grows 1 to 3 metres high and has white daisy flowers, and Blossom bouquet bush (Dombeya burgessiae).
- Loofah (Luffa siceraria – smooth and Luffa acutangula – angled) – is also known as a dish-cloth gourd and you may know it for scrubbing your back. They can be eaten when they are small, young and still green – similar to zucchini. However, when you leave them on the vine to dry up they become spongy. Remove the outer skin and keep some seeds for yourself and pass the extra seeds around to your family. Clean out the inside and you have a sponge ready to use.
- Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) – is a clumping perennial, half a metre high. Its leaves and roots have soaping properties that provide a cleansing action when crushed in water. You can make a mild liquid soap or shampoo by chopping up two handfuls, cover with 3 cups of water and simmer for 5 minutes. Leave to cool, strain and bottle. It will keep for several weeks in a refrigerator.
- Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) – has deep roots to access nutrients in the soil and spreads easily in the garden making it an ideal source of mulch. You can make a liquid fertilizer by soaking the leaves in a bucket or bin of water, covered for about three weeks. This smelly brew is known as comfrey tea. Comfrey can also be used as a compost activator – ideal if you do not have any animal manure. The leaves can be eaten in salads or cooked. It is high in protein, rich in potassium and nitrogen and a source of vitamin B12. The plant also has many uses as an herb, and can be made into a poultice.
- A horta patch – is common in Greece. It is simply leafy greens. These can be your common everyday weeds, or you can plant a patch where you cut off only the leaves you need and let them continue growing. Think beyond just lettuce, there are plenty of other delicious greens you can try – amaranth, chicory, cress, endive, purslane, garden cress, kale, lamb's lettuce, mibuna, mizuna, mustard greens, rocket, spinach, sorrel, tatsoi, and shungiku. Some of these will self-seed and others are perennial so fingers crossed this will be a low maintenance thriving area.
- Herbs as a replacement for prescription medication – grab an herbal book and do some research. There are plenty of beneficial herbs that can be planted as backup. Start with peppermint in a pot – and you'll have a supply of calming tea (crush up a couple of leaves in the bottom of a mug and add hot water). I've added chamomile, gota kolu, herb robert, and calendula to my garden.
- Aloe vera (Aloe vera berbadensis) – is known as the living first-aid plant. It has many great healing properties, but is fantastic for burns and sunburn. Plant a couple in your garden.
- Keep a stockpile of heirloom seeds and a book or two on seed saving. Heirloom seeds are more likely to be fertile so you can keep saving your seeds from them. If you buy them from a local seller, then your seeds will be more likely to be well adapted to your climate. You may like to join your local Seed Savers organization.
- Guerrilla gardens as a cache. I came across a guerrilla garden along the train line the other day. I could see a passionfruit vine growing over the fence from the train, and it was the only thing that gave it away. On closer inspection there was also sunflowers and lemon grass. Otherwise the rest of the plants were edible natives and unusual plants that were not easily recognizable. Plant a couple of guerrilla patches along key points of your escape route. http://www.guerrillagardening.org/

New York City's Bike-Share Hits 100,000 Rides
Just 10 days after launching, New York's Citi Bike program has served more than 100,000 customers–equivalent to about one in every 16 people living in Manhattan.
The new Citi Bike program in New York seems to have proven hugely popular: In just 10 days, they have been ridden more than 100,000 times.
Those 100,000 riders have cycled a combined distance of over 270,000 miles–enough to go around the world about 11 times, and more than the distance to the Moon.
This clever interactive heat map, created by Alastair Coote, an emerging tech developer for the New York Times, demonstrates how much time the Citi Bikes save in a journey across the city.
Can New York embrace the bicycle, much as many other cities around the world have?

is it just me? or is anyone else fed up with the elders of our country kind of messing the country up? Let me explain:
Does it not seem odd that we have so many politicians and CEO's and other business leaders that continue to work past what is/was considered the normal age of retirement? Dingell,Levin's,Patterson,as politicians;Ceo's of Home Depot,General Electric, CBS; hell,look around where you work and see if this isn't true there. Too many people above age 60 still working because they "can't afford to retire"?
Is it that they can't afford to retire or they want to make more money?Is it "greed"? How much money do these people need? Many of them have more money than they could possibly spend or truly need.
Did they not take advantage of the good times to put a little away for their golden years? I know times are hard now, but in a career we all have had some drastic ups and downs financially. And the majority of us are not sitting on "mattresses stuffed with cash or War Chests of Money".
I also believe that if you reach your senior years, yes, though you may have experience, you lack the ability to stay in touch with reality--does your grandparents really understand the needs of this century's teens, or the needs of anyone under 40? Not really-lest the few that actually communicate and interact with their underlings. Do these politicians even know what the Majority of americans are facing? Hell no, they don't have to worry about mortgages, Health Care costs, or even the cost of bread and milk...
It just upsets me that there are so few decent jobs these days and simply if many of the AARP aged persons had actually laid out a better plan for retirement at an appropriate age there would be an abundance of excellent opportunities for so many americans that are hurting in todays economy.
Go buy your RV- and travel the country like you are supposed to do. PLay golf. Go visit your relatives and tell the same boring stories over and over. Go square dancing and all of the things that you always wanted to do--afterall you don't have to go to work--YOU ARE RETIRED!
Let's let the 30 and 40 year old's make some of the decisions--they are closer to being in touch than you oldsters.Hell they may actually get some of today's problems solved with up to date solutions!
END OF RANT----Sorry it just seems like everyone is too politically correct to point such idiocracies out.

A 17-year-old woman carved a path of destruction through a suburban Barrie neighbourhood Tuesday morning while trying to simultaneously drive, text and get control of a cat, police say.
The teen was allegedly texting, holding a pet cat and driving at a "high rate of speed" when she lost control and careened into a neighbour's front yard — smashing through two parked cars, a boat and a house before coming to a stop.
The house was a home daycare and a woman was reportedly carrying her child to the front door at the time of the crash.
Police estimated the total damage to be more than $100,000.
The crash came just three weeks after the Ontario Provincial Police issued a public warning that "texting and driving don't mix." Thirty five people were killed on Ontario highways as a result of distracted driving in 2010, said police.
The woman was charged with careless driving.

Google's Android may be the world's most popular mobile operating system, but when it comes eliciting deep affection and intimacy from smartphone users, Apple's iPhone remains tops. New data from an Experian mobile and digital panel shows how Americans use their smartphones. Among the findings: * The average adult American uses his or her smartphone for 58 minutes a day. (Honestly, that seems low to me.) * Smartphone owners on average spend 26% of that time talking, 20% texting, 16% on social networks, 14% web browsing, 9% emailing and 8% playing games. Those are percentages for all adult American smartphone users. When Experian breaks out data for iPhone and Android users, some interesting differences emerge. For starters, iPhone owners use their devices more, an average of 75 minutes a day versus 49 minutes a day for Android users, or 53% more. How each group uses their preferred devices also differs. The average order of use for Android phones is: Talking (28%), Texting, Surfing, Social (16% each), and Email, Games and Other (8% each). For iPhone users it's: Texting and Talking (22% each), Social (16%), Surfing (12%), Email and Other (10% each), and Games (8%). Bottom line: Android users talk and surf on their smartphones more than iPhone owners, who text more than the former and use their devices about 50% more. Now read this:

In the minds of many Americans, the Qur'an (the holy book of Islam) is a thing exotic, mysterious and possibly sinister. It is thought to be the guidebook of bombers and beheaders and extremists against whom U.S. armed forces are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A prolonged period of war, terrorist threats and hyper surveillance has spawned a paranoid environment in which Muslims are regarded with suspicion. Such an environment is conducive to the spread of dehumanization and the tagging of "otherness" onto the people of the Islamic world.
Enter Sandow Birk, a Los Angeles-based artist whose work deals with political matters and cultural critique. In a brilliant move to counter this downgrading of Muslims and Islamic culture, Birk has undertaken the herculean task of manually inscribing and illuminating the entire Qur'an. Birk calls the project "The American Qur'an." Excerpts of the project are currently on view at University of Puget Sound's Kittredge Gallery.
Birk's endeavor is to show the Qur'an as what it was meant to be: a universal message to all humankind. Each chapter, or Sura, is carefully written out in English (Birk uses copyright-free English translations). Birk developed a calligraphic script based in the graffiti-style of lettering prevalent in the American Urban environment. Surrounding the Qur'anic text are scenes of American life. The scene depicted has some connection to the content of the particular chapter at hand. A page that mentions Noah's ark, for example, is decorated with a scene of a man building a rowboat. The boat-in-progress is held together with pinch clamps with bright red handles. The garage door is open showing cupboards and tool chests. A red tricycle sits on the lawn nearby.
The imagery is diverse. There are scenes of ethnic neighborhoods, of preschool playgrounds, of snowy residential streets and of surfers at the beach. There are also scenes of firefighters responding to disasters and an eerie image of the execution room of a prison. These are all hand painted with gouache and acrylic.
The actual text of the Qur'an is floated atop the imagery like independent sheets that seem to eclipse the painted imagery. Figures are cut off and much is inferred without being shown. Birk has been working on the project for several years now and the task is still not complete.
Birk is drawing upon a long tradition of inscribing and illuminating the Qur'an. He travelled widely in the Islamic world in preparation for the project. Birk is also an artist with some very impressive awards and fellowships in his resume. This month he is serving a residency at UPS, lecturing and teaching workshops.
"American Qur'an" runs through April 12. For further information visit http://www.pugetsound.edu/news-and-events/campus-news/details/1285/. More of Birks work can be viewed at www.sandowbirk.com.

A/C Problems Demystified
June 30th, 2016
Believe it or not, the A/C system in your vehicle is fairly simple in principle and design. Like your refrigerator, it operates on a cycle of compression and expansion of a gas, known as refrigerant. The compressor turns the gas into a liquid, and as the gas evaporates it provides cooling. Like your refrigerator, its main components are:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Receiver/dryer
- Thermostatic expansion valve
- Evaporator
- Refrigerant
- Blower
The good news is most automotive A/C systems have become very robust and reliable compared to cars from a generation ago. Most of the time, poor performance is due to low refrigerant levels due to lea ...[more]

So You Get A Flat Tire...What Now?
June 16th, 2016
Nobody ever looks forward to a flat tire, and nobody ever says "well, that was a really good time" after having one. You can at least minimize the damage to your tire and danger to yourself, though.
Flats vs Blowouts
If you get a blowout, you'll know about it right away. Sometimes the tire can fail dramatically, with a bang as loud as a shotgun going off. Other times, it might just be a loss of air and a sudden change in your car's handling, followed by vibration, noise and a pull to one side. If it's a front tire that fails, your car might be a real handful to drive until you can get to a stop.
In either case, your first job is to pull off the road as quickly (but safely!) as you can. Don't jam on the brakes or make any sudden mo ...[more]

Urgent! How to fix this tap
2 Attachment(s)
Both taps are connected to the washing machine. I was going to turn off the water to fix the washing machine, but found out that the hot water tap (on the left of picture) cannot be turned off. I tried to screw it, but it's so hard to do.
Much appreciated if anyone could help.
See attachments.
its due to water hardening
Hi, this is a common problem with tap being not operated frequently; as heated water causes cabonate and sulphate to be deposited. Its the time to change its valve or you can apply little hammer and try to rotate it
I agree---That is a threaded pipe---replace the valve---use a 1/4 turn ball valve
Thanks for your response, but it's so hard to rotate it.. just need to keep trying I guess
I know nothing about plumbing, but I am sure that I should be able to get the turn ball valve from the shop.. Thanks..
apply little hammer
just knock the valve from all directions with some light weight hammer and then rotate
As your tapping and turning start praying that the plumbing behind the wall is in good shape and well secured, have a back up plan..
Have the main water supply shut off and relieve the pressure on the line by opening up a faucet before working on this!!!
Going to need two wrenchs, one to hold the pipe and one to turn the valve.
Turn off the water at the main. Remove the supplies to the washer. Cut the escutchen with your trusty dremmel tool. Put a pipe wrench on the nipple, remove the valve and throw it as far as you can into the landfill. Install new ball valves, and new braided washing machine supplies. I have never seen those clear supply hoses, nor would I ever use them.
Thanks all for your response. I am going to try again today. Wasn't successfully yesterday.
Those lines are way under sized and are sure to fail at some point.
Go back and add your location to your profile.
This may not be the US I've never seen a washer hooked up that way before.
There is no try Grasshopper, there is only do.
This member is from 'Down Under' (Australia) which will explain the unusual plumping lines---
Is that kind of hose used in Australia a lot? I'm surprised you aren't "Down Under" the water, most of the time.

Sad day when you have to send an email to your "friends" like the one I sent below:
Kyle, Tom, Shane, John, and Eric,
First let me say I am a bit pissed. When Youth Waterfowl Season started I went to Scheels and I purchased a pair of waders for my daughter so that she could go on her first duck hunt. Those waders were a size 9S (Stout). Somehow in the past 4½ weeks those waders have gone missing and in their place I have a size 8R. How do I know this? First, when she tried them on at Scheels I told the salesman that I wanted a 9S. The box in my basement from when I bought the waders has a nice big 9S on the side of it, and the cover says Stout. And finally I actually looked at the tag on the inside of the wader and the tag says 9S. I trusted each of you with my decoys, my robo duck, my waders, hell I even loaned out my gun on a couple occasions, but the fact that I can go from having a size 9S wader to having a size 8R and no one wants to fess up to the mistake frankly pisses me off. It is a sad day in hunting when one person all the sudden feels he should have to put his name and address on all his gear to make sure he gets his stuff back, I thought that went out the window when I graduated Kindergarten. Oh well, guess not. You know, not only am I out $100+ for the waders I purchased, I am out your trust. Sorry folks, I simply refuse to loan out any more of my gear. I will be getting the decoys and other things I have in Kyle's truck out today and will not be loaning anything out again, please do not ask.
Thanks for your honesty, it gives me a warm feeling in my belly to know I can loan out my gear and get back what I loaned out. <-- That was meant to be sarcastic.
Pissed and unhappy,
FYI.. this is the email sent after those addressed in this one all claim to not have my second set of waders. Sad thing is Kyle and I are pretty sure who has em, but he refuses to let me look at his stuff (dead give away). If I would not lose stripes for beating his ass...

"No Wei!" snorted the Wall Street Journal, "it's straight out of the farcical 'you couldn't make it up file'." Then came the bombshell that Liverpool City Council, one of four councils chosen to pilot the scheme, has withdrawn its support because of £100 million in cuts to the very community groups that the Big Society is supposed to support.
But social entrepreneur Nat Wei, 34, is surprisingly candid when he shows me into his room at the Cabinet Office in Whitehall. "Look," he says, "before I took on this job last May, I was earning more than £100,000 a year. The idea was that I'd come on a paid basis, but because the quota for paid government advisers was full, at the last moment it turned out to be unpaid. I committed myself to two days a week and ended up doing three, but in the autumn I asked to go back to two days."
"My income had plummeted to virtually zero because I'd given up my paid jobs to avoid conflicts of interest and I was getting into debt. I had moved with my wife Cynthia, a full-time mother, and our two sons [aged four and two] onto an estate in Shoreditch where we rent a council flat so as not to worry about a big mortgage, but, even so, I still had to pay the rent."
He shakes his head. "It was a hugely stressful time. Racking up unsustainable debt made it hard to focus on my job. I've since got some paid consultancy work, though not enough to support the family. Some people think I must be independently rich because I was given a peerage and became the youngest member in the Lords, but I come from a low-income family and need to make a living. My net worth is probably negative now, I have just a few thousand pounds to my name."
The irony slaps you in the face. The man charged with driving forward Mr Cameron's revolution in citizen activism, which seeks to empower people, has himself been disempowered. Does he feel he's been set up to fail? That his job should be paid?
"No," he says firmly, "it's right that I should juggle making a living, seeing my family, and helping to change society, because that's what makes me like everyone else and not in a Whitehall bubble. Yes, I got the balance wrong, but I've rectified that. The Big Society is about all of us putting in the time we can."
Wei reflects on the "hypocrisy" of his critics. "They might mock me because I'm not independently rich enough to do the job without worrying about an income, but I was given this job because of my record as a social entrepreneur, not because I'm super-rich or want to be a politician. Not that I'm complaining," he laughs, "I've got broad shoulders, I've learned to take it on the chin."
Born in Watford to Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong, Wei grew up in a rough, predominantly poor-white part of Milton Keynes. His father was a pastor and they were pretty hard up, he says, though never on the dole or starving. At Sir Frank Markham Community School, which has since closed down, Wei was "hit and punched" by fellow pupils for taking his studies seriously. "Pupils would snort cocaine off the art table and one year they burned down a wing of the school," he recalls. "It was not uncommon for teachers to run out of lessons crying, and I often taught myself because classes were so disruptive."
But Wei's diligence paid off and he was the only pupil in his year to go to Oxford before embarking on three years of management consulting at McKinsey. "I could have become a partner at McKinsey and been a multi-millionaire today," reflects Wei, "but I was passionate about doing something for society and becoming a social entrepreneur."
He worked for the international children's charity Ark and later launched his own successful social consultancy, but it was his pioneering role as a member of the founding staff team of charity Teach First - which trains high-fliers to be inner-city teachers - that brought this young talent to Mr Cameron's attention.
Some say that Wei, who reports directly to Mr Cameron once a fortnight, is too young and timid to drive through the Big Society agenda but it hasn't stopped him making strident criticisms of the City.
"There needs to be a complete culture change in the City where bankers who get bonuses are encouraged to give and it becomes the norm," he says. "For bankers to rebuild trust, they must be proactive, and if they are not, there are things we can do to nudge them along, if you like, and to create transparency."
Is he talking about publishing league tables to embarrass banks and show how little they give? Goldman Sachs recently admitted it had cut back on charitable giving despite paying £10 billion in bonuses. "A lot of the info we need to do it is already out there," he says, nodding. But why not simply raise taxes for the super-rich to 50 per cent?
"You could, but the super-rich are very mobile and might leave." Similarly he opts for a softly approach on tax avoidance. "We should laud businessmen who choose to pay, rather than conduct a witch-hunt of the tax avoiders," he says.
Wei denies the common criticism that the Big Society is ideologically driven and a Trojan horse for smaller government, and he gamely argues that it's "no fig leaf to cuts", but he struggles to answer the charge that the groups the Big Society is meant to be "enabling" are also the ones the Government is "destroying" through cuts.
In essence, this is what Liverpool City Council chief Joe Anderson said when he wrote to Mr Cameron this week and asked: "How can the council support the Big Society and its aim to help communities do more for themselves when we will have to cut the lifeline to hundreds of these vital and worthwhile groups?"
Wei calls Anderson's decision "a real shame for the people of Liverpool". But the fact is: the £80 million the Big Society bank will dole out to community groups from this summer is a drop in the ocean compared to the billions in cuts.
He shrugs: "We have a choice: we can either go the way of Ireland and Greece, or decide to do things differently. Really, the Big Society is about going back to the early days of the welfare state when social reformers like William Beveridge expected a more shared responsibility between citizens and the state than we have now."
Asked to define the Big Society in lay-man's terms, he says: "It's the belief that local people can come together to solve problems they care about better than government or anyone else, and supporting them to do so financially and by cutting bureaucracy, but it's about more than volunteering and it includes public sector reform, like giving power to GPs and free schools. We're still in the launch phase - as Cameron has said, it's a culture change that will take two parliaments, if not a generation."
Does he worry that unless people start to "get" the Big Society soon it will lose momentum and be scrapped? "Not really," he says. "It's one of the Government's top three priorities, after the economy and Afghanistan."
I look around his strangely bare office - with not a single photograph on the desk or even a picture on the wall to indicate he works there - and wonder aloud whether he spends time here any more at all. He laughs and assures me that he's been here a full eight months, adding: "One of the problems with Labour was that they were so attached to their offices they lost contact with the people."
But, realistically, can he succeed in doing this job for just two days a week? He smiles, somewhat ruefully. "This job needs eight days a week, but I haven't got eight days a week. The Big Society is about doing the impossible, and also about everyone doing their share. Much of what we're doing is behind the scenes and can't yet be seen by the public. But I am confident the penny will drop when people begin to experience it for themselves. Already polls are encouraging, showing that 46 per cent of people, which is quite a lot, think it's a good idea."
And with that he's shooting off to see "an aristocrat in Lambeth" to talk about social enterprise. I tell him that I think the Big Society czar must be an optimist and believer in the essential good in human nature but that he has a hard sell - and not to be paid, quite galling! He stops, momentarily, looks me in the eye. "Ultimately it's not about me, it's about ordinary people deciding: 'I'm in!' These are not easy times. You have to take what life throws at you and run with it, right?"

Van Dyke Parks Presents
The Mighty Sparrow — Hot and Sweet
The legendary 1974 Warner Bros album, produced by Van Dyke Parks and Andrew Wickham, Hot and Sweet features the finest Calypso vocal recordings ever by the man known as "The Calypso King of the World!"
The Mighty Sparrow's career spans over 40 years and 70 albums. He continues to redefine the true meaning of Calypso Power through his amazing ability — not only to put into words and tempo the exploits of SOCiety, but to crown it all with showmanship and appeal.
The Mighty Sparrow is Slinger Francisco, Chief of The Yorubas, who has brought honor, glory, and dignity to an indigenous art form that was once scorned by the elite of Caribbean society. He utilizes his medium not just to entertain, but also to edify, enlighten, and educate.
"Recorded during a hurricane in Miami, the power of the wind and rain whipping the studio were matched only by the power and beauty of these compositions, chosen by Andrew and myself as the greatest in Sparrow's prodigious catalogue." — Van Dyke Parks
"As far as concept and intelligence and warring with words, Mighty Sparrow was and probably still is the king ... his shows are like prize fights and he always comes out on top, all this and a fifteen or twenty-piece band just blasting away... he's fantastic." — Bob Dylan, as quoted by Cameron Crowe, from the Biograph box set notes
"[Colin Powell's] favorite artist is The Mighty Sparrow, a legendary singer known as 'the master of the naughty phrase'." — New York Times
"The Mount Olympus of Calypso... It's not just the good Calypso I like. I like the naughty stuff too, you know. My aides didn't understand the lyrics, and they were too dirty for me to translate." — Colin Powell
"It's the finest analogue production of Calypso I've heard to date." — Van Dyke Parks

Atlanta Fed Web Site Adds Economics Blog
For immediate release: August 12, 2008
David E. Altig, senior vice president and research director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, today announced the addition of an economics blog—titled macroblog—to the Atlanta Fed's Web site. The purpose of Atlanta Fed's macroblog, which Altig originally launched several years ago as an independent blog, is to provide commentary and observations on a variety of current economic topics, including monetary policy, macroeconomic developments, financial issues and Southeast trends.
Macroblog, which can be found on the Atlanta Fed's Web site at www.frbatlanta.org, will feature postings from Altig and other Atlanta Fed economists. According to Altig, "Macroblog will provide our Reserve Bank economists with another venue for publishing economic analysis but on a more timely basis." Altig launched macroblog in 2004 while working as an adjunct professor of economics in the graduate business school at the University of Chicago. Altig suspended the blog in August of last year, when he began his responsibilities at the Atlanta Fed.
The first posting to macroblog on the Atlanta Fed's Web site was made today. Going forward, new postings will appear on macroblog on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Postings will be made to macroblog during the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) blackout period, which runs from the week before the FOMC meeting until the Friday after it, but the postings during these periods will not comment on monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta serves the Sixth Federal Reserve District, which encompasses Alabama, Florida, Georgia and parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. As part of the nation's central banking system, the Atlanta Fed participates in setting national monetary policy, supervises numerous commercial banks and provides a variety of financial services to depository institutions and the U.S. government.

Who's That Delivering Your Package?
The idea was to find ways to reduce the carbon emissions caused by delivery trucks in cities. By utilizing people who are already going through a location, that's one less trip.
Bill Barol at Forbes is a little skeptical:
"It's a neat concept, with a few caveats. It seems a little grand to identify it as 'crowdsourcing,' as the trends consultancy PSFK does; it could just as easily be called 'getting kids on the bus to do your job for you.' Also, I'm not sure anything could be as much fun as the people in this promo video seem to be having..."

Looking for another big monetary stimulus from China and other emerging markets? Forget it, says Jonathan Anderson of UBS. Even though we've seen interest rates cuts – and can expect more – there's no scope for radical easing, and no need either.
But, says Anderson, that's not bad news. It shows that growth is chugging along nicely in most emerging markets, so there should be plenty of opportunities for investors.

If it's not affected when gears change you are likely right.
If it doesn't happen when the car is stationary and doesn't change with the revving of the engine it is not likely tendioners or pulleys. Things driven by the engine, should change in sound or behaviour as the engine revs change.
It sounds more like a bearings or brakes issue. CK to see if the dust cover is rubbing on the rotor somewhere and ck the bearings

Green bay quarterback and MVP Aaron Rodgers is entering the final two years of his current contract. A contract set to expire after the 2014 NFL season concludes. Widely recognized as one of the best quarterbacks playing, Rodgers will be looking to cash in on his MVP and Super Bowl championship soon. With Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco set to sign a new mega-deal soon, it appears Rodgers has a close eye on what numbers Joe Flacco will be able to secure. According to ESPN Wisconsin. Per 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com: "I think everybody is going to see what Joe (Flacco) ends up signing for," Rodgers said. "I'm sure they want to lock him up. He's a great player – had an incredible run in the playoffs – and I'm sure they want to keep him around. A guy like that, with the post-season success he's had, you want to keep a guy like that around for a while." We reported earlier on the comments made by Joe Flacco's agent Joe Linta, in which he stated that Flacco should be the highest paid quarterback in the league. If he does end up the highest paid, don't be surprised if Aaron Rodgers ends up topping that number when it is time for him to receive a new deal.

Henning Berg is out to break his Ewood Park duck in tonight's Championship clash with Cardiff City.
He is still waiting for a first home win as Blackburn Rovers boss, but insists: "Tonight could be the night!"
The Bluebirds travel to the north of England for a match in front of the live Sky Sports cameras, having slipped up in their three matches at Ewood since Berg was appointed as manager.
A draw against Birmingham was followed by back-to-back home losses against Millwall and Bolton, but the Norwegian believes their displays merited more points than they picked up.
Listen: This week's Blakey's Bootroom podcast
"Tonight we are playing league leaders Cardiff," says Berg. "They have set the standard this season and it will be a good test for us.
"We have some very good young players and this evening they will play against the best team in this division. It will be interesting to see how they cope with that.
"But we are at home, we are looking to play well and looking to win the game.
"Our aim is to impose ourselves on Cardiff, even though they are the league leaders.
"We have played some good teams at home, Millwall were on a great run, we have played Bolton, so it's not like we are going to sit back and watch what Cardiff are doing.
"We could easily have had far better results from the three home matches since I became manager.
"Based on performances, chances for and against, the Millwall game could have easily gone our way. Millwall had some fantastic shooting to win the game.
"We had more chances and shots on goal than them overall, even though at times maybe they played a little higher level in their best periods of the game.
"Bolton started the game much better than us and we conceded a sloppy first goal.
"Then they scored from a free-kick, we got one back and were close to getting another back. On another day with the chances we had, we could have got a result.
"We had more shots on goal than Bolton but still didn't win. That can happen, Birmingham was the same.
"In football this can happen, you can go through spells where you don't play well and you win games.
"That is possible as well. Tonight we set out to win against Cardiff City. That is our only focus."

Andrew Wiggins is, according to some, Canada's version of Michael Jordan and the best high school basketball player in the world.
And if he bypasses college offers from Kentucky, Duke and his presumed favorite Florida State, many more say he is likely to be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
At 6-foot-8, the son of former FSU star Mitchell Wiggins is still growing, into mythic proportions it would appear.
On Feb. 22 and 23, local basketball fans will get two chances to see the phenom in action as he and his Huntington (W.Va.) Prep teammates visit Tampa Bay for the two-day Inaugural Beast Athletics/Oldsmar Christian Shootout.
Huntington Prep also features 6-5 sophomore Montaque Gill-Ceasar, a 4-star recruit already receiving interest from the nation's top basketball programs.
With a sellout crowd expected at Oldsmar Christian on the shootout's opening night, which seats roughly 700 fans, event organizer and Eagles coach Jordan Fair began pre-selling 150 tickets on Wednesday for $7.
The remaining tickets will be sold to the walk-up crowd the night of the game for $8.
Following the 6:30 p.m. match-up on Feb. 22 between Gainesville's The Rock and Georgia's Faith Baptist, Huntington Prep -- ranked No. 8 in the country in the latest USA Today basketball poll -- plays Oldsmar Christian at 8 p.m.
The following day Oldsmar Christian plays Faith Baptist at 2 p.m., followed by Huntington Prep against The Rock.
We don't recall a bigger name in high school basketball basketball coming to Tampa Bay since Orlando Cypress Creek and Amare Stoudemire played at the old Hooters tournament at the old Bayfront Center in 2001.
Here's some stories on Wiggins right here and right here.
And naturally, here's his official Hoopmixtape, with over one million views.
Fair says the event will showcase 22 Division I basketball players that have already signed with schools like Tennessee, Baylor, Arkansas, FSU, Georgia and Kansas.
For more information on purchasing tickets, which must be done at Oldsmar Christian, call 813-855-4475 or 727-735-4935.

Right now I couldn't be happier with the car. I'm ready to get in on the Wisconsin gatherings of foci!
Congrats on the new purchase. I have a comp-o one myself
. I'm sure you'll love the car and enjoy it. Mine has around 60k on it, and is in decent shape. Still needs a few odds n' ends for the interior yet.
I have a question for everyone about the tune for the svt. I've had the fswerks tune for a month or two and it almost seems like the car drives better on the stock tune. The cold start until warm up isn't very smooth. I worked with Randy though email trying different programs. It still doesn't feel that great. I don't know if I'm just too picky or what?? I have a aem cai on the car, and I'm not sure if that's causing the problem with the maf or what? I gave them a detailed list of everything. If anyone could shine some light on the topic it would be great.
