(Friends of Celiacs Unite)Tips and advice on how not to poison your gluten-free friendswheat-eaterhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297138702207610404.post-33796009102439705482010-11-25T06:17:00.000-05:002010-11-25T06:17:53.844-05:00Caveman vs. Celiac: winner eats loser

2010 is almost done and we (I'm looking at you- Laura, Natalie, Mike) have not written a single post this year. We loose at blogging! So here it is, the one (and probably only) post of 2010:

My roommate is currently on the "Caveman Diet," or the "Paleolithic Diet" if you prefer. So back in the 70's this dude theorized that the "ideal" human diet is the one that the pre-agriculture hunter/gatherers ate. He felt that a lot of our health problems came after man's diet changed with the development of agriculture and "animal husbandry." Proponents claim that we are "genetically adapted" to eat as our first ancestors did. There's a whole philosophy behind it that I won't get into, but the basic gist is you should cast aside the indulgences of those reckless Neolithic gluttons that ruined everything, and start hunting and foraging in order to live longer.....unless you plan on living past the age of 35, in which case I do not recommend this diet.

On the Paleo Diet...

you cannot eat: legumes, grains (anything with gluten), dairy, potatoes, refined sugar, anything with preservatives, salt, processed oils, etc., etc. Basically you can't eat anything fun, it's like the G.F. diet in hell.

you can eat: meat, seeds, berries, plants (not to be confused with vegetables which are "farmed," while plants can be "foraged"), meat, some nuts (NOT peanuts, those are legumes silly), oh and meat.

 Featured on the Paleo Diet website under "Footwear for Hunting and Gathering." For those times when shoes are too much, but feet aren't quite enough. Do it like the cavemen would have (if they'd had access to nylon and Chinese factories).

To be clear, my roommate is not doing this diet to connect with his inner Troglodyte. The Paleo Diet has been embraced by a lot of athletes and fitnessy people. It is supposed to be a great way to help gain and maintain muscle quickly and healthily when you are training or doing aggressive fitness routines. Roomie is on a get-ripped-quick-kick right now, and while I am not a proponent of fad diets, I get why he's into this. Frankly it could be way worse, and my house is always stocked with fresh fruit and vegetables. Also, I do love steak and I've gotten to eat a lot of steak lately, so that's cool.

Tyra knows.

I am learning that people who can't eat certain things get frustrated with people who won't eat certain things. Since Paleo is the uber gluten-free diet, of course I talked to my favorite Celiac Scientist, Amy, about it. It was kind of hilarious. Amy's response to me explaining the Paleo Diet: "well there were obviously caveman doctors that made really good notes about how healthy cavemen are." AWE SNAP! Celiacs are sassy. (PS- I did not know I was saving my gchats until I remembered this conversation and did a search. I will no longer be saving them and will be deleting all previous gchats after this because I am not a creep).

Anyways, the moral of the story is: people seem to keep finding reasons to not eat bread when there are people in the world who can't eat bread. I say, eat a cracker for a Celiac. Because every time you pass on a wheat product for no reason, a Celiac kicks a kitten (that is a lie).

eat the croissant or this kitten gets it.

Merry Christmas, this is all I could afford to get you this year.

I would like to discuss Amy's recent glutening at P.F. Changs. They got her good. She said when she received her food there was brown rice all mixed in with her white rice. Sloppy P.F. Chang...very sloppy. So they gave her a gift card or a voucher or something for a free meal. It always makes me laugh when I hear that stuff, as if you are eager to go back to the place that put you through hell. Someone once told me a story about finding a bug in a candy bar and getting a voucher for unlimited whatever-the-hell candy bar it was for the rest of his life. Really? Because if I bit into a Snickers and it bit me back, you can be damn sure I am never eating a Snickers again. (To be clear, I have never been bitten by a Snickers. I would be happy to have that lifetime voucher thingy.)

I'm not sure if I would eat this even without the bee.

Oh, and I have to make a very special F.O.C.U. shout-out to my other Amy, who is now officially gluten-free as well! Amy's of the world beware- it is an epidemic! This particular Amy held out much longer than my first g.f. Amy. It basically took her arm almost falling off from some horrible gluten-induced vitamin deficiency for her take the plunge and go totally g.f. I am happy she is playing it safe now and happier that she did not loose an arm in the process. I am not sure if it is going to be helpful or confusing that the two Amy's in my life are Celiacs, but this blog is now dedicated to A2 .

JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE TO READ ABOUT CELEBRITIES...

I just found a new site called Celebrity Diets. The site seems to take itself pretty seriously, so I won't be spending much time reading it (boring!). I'm just looking for the really juicy stuff, the dog-food-and-Tang diet and things of that nature. Success! The baby food diet. And, double success, there is a mention of gluten in the article!

"Jennifer Aniston believes the 'purer, nutrient-packed, gluten-free' pots help to maintain her trim figure; Reese Witherspoon told a US TV show she's careful not to crash diet on infant food and makes sure to have one adult meal a day; while Marcia Cross ditched junk food snacks for baby food to keep hunger pangs at bay."

So baby food is the new finger-down-your-throat? It could be worse. I think my biggest problem with this particular diet is that is sounds humiliating. Can you imagine sitting down to eat with your friends and being like, "hold on, let me crack open my jar of dinner."

Mmmm...ham-like.

I was briefly a nanny when I was in college and, I won't lie, there were several occasions when I made a longing glance or two at the jar of bananas (I really like bananas). I just can't see making this a lifestyle though. It seems to me that once you are eating baby food on a regular basis you have crossed a point of no return in the dignity department. It is only a matter of time before you are having your maid/boyfriend chew up nutritious gluten-free food and regurgitate it down your throat for you.

smootchy time or lunch time?

 I think the only way this will ever be cool is if Gerber starts a line of jarred food specifically for adults. It will be the same as the baby food, but with better branding.

Maybe I should have contacted Gerber with a pitch before I gave away all my brilliant ideas? I could have just robbed myself of a potential fortune.

That's all I have till next year. Happy Gluten-free holidays to all Amys and non-Amys and Celiacs and non-Celiacs!!

I expected to find no such google search results.

But then I remembered we live in a society of reality tv, high heels for your crawling infant, Bradgalina and people that seem to enjoy John Mayer, so I was not too surprised when google yielded search results for "gluten free diet for your pet", when in Rome...

Your gluten free body is a wonderland

Why a gluten free diet for your pup you ask. Well it is simple really. Dog food, dog treats and yes, even some cleaning products you might use on your pup can contain gluten. If you are a celiac, you will know better than anyone how easily cross contamination can happen and the consequences that can follow.

Not as exciting as how a baby is made, but you get the idea

Now, I find it hard to believe that a person with celiacs (or most people for that matter) would use their hand to fill their dog's food bowl, and then without washing that hand, shove it into their mouth - thus carrying out the cross contamination. But, I guess shit happens.

I am not into people dressing their dogs, doggy hotels or bling for your pup, so I fall a little bit on the skeptical side of having to put your dog on a gluten free diet just because you are.

Adorable or horrible? Truly, I am conflicted.

HOWEVER, I have seen the evil side of gluten and what it can do. My friend Amy cannot go into a restaurant where she can see the kitchen - it freaks her out. Try to carry on a conversation with her with that kitchen in view - you can't. She is like a hawk waiting for Mr. Chef Man to touch a bun and then handle her lettuce - it literally makes her a paranoid woman. Not cool gluten! Because of this act of crazy (although, understandable) I can fall on the side of the fence that might consider making your pet gluten free. BUT YOU BETTER REALLY HAVE CELIACS CAUSE IF OPRAH TOLD YOU TO PUT YOUR PET ON A GLUTEN FREE DIET FOR NO REASON I SWEAR I AM COMING TO YOUR HOUSE TO BURN YOUR MAILBOX!!

I digress. There is also another reasonable reason to make your pet gluten free. Just like us complex and weak humans, pups can get sick from gluten. According to an article I found on gluten-free-chef.com, "dogs can get eosinophilic gastroenteritis (a chronic disease that disrupts the normal function of the intestines) and it is believed that gluten is the cause." How sad. Imagine if Turk was gf!

Holy crap, puppy Turk should really be illegal.

In conclusion, I learned something today. Sometimes something you think is an absurd idea can actually be beneficial to certain people. Theoretically, Amy COULD get glutened from feeding her dog - I don't see it happening, but then again I never envisioned Amy not being able to eat bread. I supposed it is something for her to take into consideration. Remember kids, gluten is a sneaky son of a bitch, it lives in places you never think to look. With that in mind, let us all try to keep man's best friend, man's friend that doesn't accidentally gluten their owner.fakeplasticlaurahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297138702207610404.post-28991197894798741792009-11-07T16:01:00.010-05:002009-11-07T20:10:03.304-05:00Cheeseburger en Paraíso (menos el gluten)Last night Amy read me something that was sent to her by a resort in Mexico. She, her husband, and in-laws will be visiting this resort soon and she emailed them to find out if they could accommodate her dietary needs. They could...and then some. Not only were they abundantly familiar with her needs and restrictions as a Celiac, they sent her this letter with the instructions to print multiple copies and bring them with her to present to the chef at every meal. The letter is written in both English and Spanish and perfectly summarizes the needs of a Celiac.

We were laughing as she read it because it seems so funny on paper, but in reality it is a perfect and concise letter. I think she should just bring it with her everywhere she goes indefinitely. Including giving it to friends and family members that may want to cook for her. It is definitely a good reminder of how serious Celiacs really is.

So remember kids, gluten doesn't just hurt people in English, it is equally dangerous in Spanish as well...probably even German. Not Japanese though. They just eat rice and sharks and puffer fish. That's probably not true. Sharks could be filled with gluten for all I know.

Be jealous. Be very jealous.

Ok, so I have climbed down from my soap box and I am ready to resume my friendly, big-sister-with-advice-to-share tone. Today's lesson is about cooking for your gluten-free friends. Don't do it. OR, if you are absolutely hell-bent on cooking for your gf friend, there are a few simple rules you should follow:

1. Trust no one.
Not a website that tells you what is and is not gluten-free, not the grocery store "gluten-free" section, not even the packaging on food. Only your gluten-free friend knows what he/she can eat and it came from trial and error, not a label.
2. Plan the meal with your friend.
Surprises are lovely, but not when they involve hours curled up in the fetal position.
3. Keep all the packaging from the food you used so your gf friend can inspect before eating.
See Natalie's story below
4. Trust no one. And you do not talk about fight club.

So this whole blog idea came from an experience I had a few weeks ago. I was on the Women's Health website looking up recipes. Their recipe looker-upper thing is pretty cool, you can filter down your search criteria to things like "cooking method," "occasion," and "dietary needs." Long story short, I decided to look up some gluten-free recipes that I might one day make for my gf bf Amy.

Let's look at the first ingredient of the first item that popped up after I selected my filters, including "Wheat/Gluten Free":

Awesome. Luckily, I am a smart girl, and I am able to deduce that my wheat-gluten free friend cannot have whole-wheat pizza crust. For someone not as naturally gifted, this could lead to a disaster. Our friend Natalie is very smart too, she does Science. But even a Scientist is no match for the gluten-monster. What follows is her story.

Natalie's Semolina story.
About a year ago our friend Natalie had the good intentions of cooking an awesome meal for Amy. Back then Natalie was pretty new to Glutenfreelandia, but she was determined to get it right. She went directly to the "gluten-free" section of her local supermarket and found the perfect noodle to make her gluten free vegetarian lasagna with....the semolina noodle. It was in the gluten-free section, near the rice noodles. It sounded gluten-free (never mind that there was a picture of wheat on the package). Back in my newbie days, I would have done the same thing.

Amy loved the semolina lasagna. She loved it so much she had two large servings. Then we did what any good friends would do when their Celiac has just been glutened, we took her to a corn maze. Amy developed super-human powers that night, she was like a machine. She guided us through that corn maze as if God him/herself was whispering the directions in her ear. Left, then right, then right again, she was a woman on a mission.

one of us: "Hey, I think we should make a left here."
Amy: "No. It's a right. We are going right."

And it was a right. Amy survived the corn maze that night, but still suffered a gnarly glutening that she felt for the next few days. All because a supermarket put semolina noodles in the gluten-free section.

Moral of the story = trust no one. The end.

Amy and I live a mere 2,402 miles apart, but when she comes to visit, I want to make sure we can go out to eat at least once. I did an extensive search throughout the bay area, noting gluten-free food here, potato vodka there and weird hippy shit everywhere (not necessarily gluten-free).

What I found is a celiac's baked good dream castle, Mariposa Bakery. Mariposa is strictly a gluten-free facility, which means no chance of cross contamination, which in turns means as a celiac, you can eat there stress (and gluten) free.

Mariposa has a wide selection of baked goods, from biscotti, brownies, coffee cake, cookies, bagels, tea loaves and even pizza crust.

Brownies, tea cake, coffee cake and biscotti - gluten free delights @ Mariposa

When Amy was visiting, she had the luck of visiting during Mariposa's anniversary party, which meant all the mentioned items above were free in sample size to the public (along with a gluten-free beer tasting next door). Amy was treated to items such as red velvet cupcakes, apricot pizza, lemon poppy seed cake and chocolate chip cookies. I mean, look at this spread:

Amy on the happiest day of her gluten-free life

Now, as a wheat-eater and a hard core dessert eater - I would not have been able to tell that any of these items were gluten free. In fact, I think I preferred many of the item to gluten filled desserts I have had (based solely on taste NOT as a diet or a trend).

Although Mariposa is located in Oakland, California, do not fret. They ship their goods all over the country priority (to make sure those goods are still good when they get to you) at a pretty reasonable price. Let's face it, gluten-free food is expensive, but once you try a garlic bagel from Mariposa, you'll happily throw down the $8.00 for a bag of them.

They also offer gift sets - come on, chrismahaukakwanzanewyearmas is coming up - think of all the food your gluten-free friend is going to miss out on, all i am saying, is give celiacs a chance!fakeplasticlaurahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297138702207610404.post-61901685516741096572009-11-05T19:03:00.007-05:002009-11-05T23:29:45.403-05:00Jenny, I got your number
Jenny McCarthy rant to supplement Laura's Oprah rant:

This woman has been on my "celebrities that need to shut the f-up" list for quite awhile. I'm not going to get into her whole ridiculous vaccines = autism crap because this soap box will not support my weight long enough for 2 rants. Today's rant is about how Jenny McCarthy thinks that a gluten-free diet CURED HER SON'S AUTISM. Yes, you read that correctly.

I can't ….I don't even…..this HURTS MY SOUL. Now I am not a doctor (I am not even a Celiac for that matter) but isn't this the equivalent of saying "Becoming a vegetarian cured my Dyslexia"? To make matters worse, I found this little nugget of awesome while doing blog research on none other than the "Living Without" website. "Living Without" is (I thought) a respected publication for people with allergies and food sensitivities. Way to feed the celebrity I'm-going-to-give-you-uneducated-and-possibly-dangerous-medical-advice-because-I-am-famous-and-I-can machine. Is Jenny McCarthy really going to help your sales that much? Now desperate parents of autistic children are going to deprive their kids of an entire food group on the say-so of a moron. Shame on you Living Without! And to think I almost bought Amy a subscription for Christmas, screw that!

 yup, this person looks totally qualified to give medical

and nutritional advice

According to the LW article, health expert Dr. McCarthy and her partner in crazy, Jim Carrey, are both gf as well. Funny, the gluten-free diet didn't seem to do anything for their mental disabilities?

is it just me or is Jim Carrey starting to look like "Killer Bob" from Twin Peaks?

 I get it lady, you love your kid, you want the best for him blah, blah, blah. But how happy is your kid going to be when he gets older and realizes he is responsible for a generation of children that have contracted Measles and weren't allowed to eat Oreos. I hope all this money you are making spouting your nonsense is enough to pay for the therapy your child is going to need.

maybe she does have Celiacs?

Namely, stuff with clever sayings pertaining to gluten. This is our way of stimulating the economy and "giving back."

So soon there will be a cafe press store chock full of F.O.C.U. swag. I know what you're thinking, "Will it be up in time for Christmas/Chanukah?" Fear not wheat-eaters and non-wheat-eaters...it is going to be a very gluten-free holiday!

Right now we are still in the brainstorming process and, since this is a collaborative organization, I thought I'd run some of our ideas past everyone. Please give us feedback, as well as any catchy slogans you may come up with that might look good on a t-shirt, mug, kerchief, etc.

"HERE'S GLUTEN AT YOU"
"WHEAT IS MURDER"
"WHEAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?"
"WE CAN'T KEEP WHEATING THIS WAY"
"MY WHEAT DON'T STINK" (thanks Bryen)
"I SEE-LIAC YOU" (that one is pushing it, I know)

 this could be your boyfriend/brother/husband.

T.B. recently release a new "sexy" black taco, that I had to admit (if I hadn't sworn off taco bell almost a year ago) looks pretty damn good.

I started to reflect back on the days when Amy and I used to stuff our faces with nacho bell grande (tortilla chips, cheese and extra sour creme only) and let a single tear fall. My god how we loved taco bell and their caulk gun sour creme. How cruel that now Amy has serious food allergies and I can't poop for 12 days after eating taco bell. I had to seek justice for my celiac friend.

I went to www.tacobell.com and there, on their home page was the black jack taco. Look at that sour creme poking its head out, all white and majestic. My immediate reaction is to dry heave a little, but that subsides quickly and is replaced by me wanting to shove that taco down my throat without chewing.

I digress. I noticed that under that black stallion of a taco that there was a special pop up window that would list nutrition and allergies. Was taco bell feeling the financial loss from Laura and Amy not eating at taco bell? Had word of Amy's food allergies reached the president of taco bell him/herself? Is god trying to get me to eat taco bell again with Amy?

Long story short, the taco bell black jack IS gluten-free (as far as I can see, and according to the vagueness of what taco bell considers gluten-free (chances are the taco meat cannot be eaten due to the seasoning)).

I got excited for Amy and could imagine her sitting on the ledge of a fountain, water gently jumping behind her, the sun illuminating her like a halo, as she sits and enjoys her sexy black jack taco. She could be considered hip and cool, and perhaps as a human able to eat and digest all types of food.

I also thought about Amy's recent trip to the the San Francisco Bay Area, the land that has been home to paranoid hippies and over emotional vegans and vegetarians for over 40 years, thus the "food impaired" can eat at most restaurants and have more options at the grocery store. Amy was able to find a gluten free bakery, gluten-free beer tasting and a gluten-free pizzeria.

She took gluten-free to a whole new level of sexiness. By simply informing the waiter, or dude working at BevMo! that she was gluten-free, she received googly eyed looks, free beer, free gluten-free brownie desserts, and I am pretty sure she made the cashier dude at BevMo! mess up the order cause he insisted on continuing his conversation with Amy even after he was done serving her.

What am I trying to say here you might ask. I don't think it is a coincidence that taco bell put out the "gluten-free" (and yes, I do realize that no where do they claim it is "gluten-free") taco shortly after Amy got special treatment from strange men simply for being gluten-free. They saw that gluten-free was the new black, thus they made a black taco and claimed that taco is the new sexy.

And we have come full circle.fakeplasticlaurahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297138702207610404.post-75918536277672632482009-10-19T17:09:00.009-04:002009-11-05T23:31:51.513-05:00F.O.C.U. Tip #5CELIACS IS A DISEASE, NOT A DIET

Hi, my name is Laura, and I am a wheat eater. My best friend is the Amy that is spoken about through out this blog, and let me tell you, when the news of celiacs came into Amy's life it destroyed a strong aspect in our 15 year friendship; eating.

It is true that Amy and I used to spend a day driving 60 miles one way to eat bread sticks. That's right, a 120 mile round trip to eat bread. We spent every Sunday going to Little Cesar's at Macomb Mall to eat crazy bread. We used to stay up night after night watching A Hard Day's Night, easily consuming a large Jet's Pizza and Jet's bread between us. This was our life. Those days are gone.

To help Amy through this horrible dark time in our life, I tried to help by sending a care package of potato vodka and gluten free brownies. My life turned to constantly scanning menus, noting the gluten free alcoholic drinks at local bars and reading ingredients on nearly everything I bought so that when Amy came to visit, I would not gluten her. I learned quickly gluten is everywhere, like Oprah.

Speaking of Oprah, let me begin to tell you what a twat she is, and why I think she should officially become the poster child for "people celiacs want to gluten".

 Oprah backed Obama, now she backs celiacs! HOPE IS BACK!

Oprah, as you know, is amazing at telling people what to do, and actually getting them to do it. She reads a book, lonely mid-west housewife reads the same book. She never liked reading before, but Oprah is friends with John Travolta.

   Chances are, that chocolate bar contains gluten.

Oprah brings Suzanne Somers on the show and she talks about injecting herself in the VAGINA to look younger and the audience swoons with acceptance.

   Inject stuff into your vagina and THIS could be you.

So when Oprah undertook a "21-day body cleansing" it was no surprise she excluded gluten from her diet. Stop worrying, Oprah is not among the estimated 3 million people with celiacs the disease, she is head of the asshole nation of fads, or faddies as I like to call them.

Now, when my friend Amy here eats gluten, or gets "glutened" as we say, this is what may or may not happen to her:
<bull>• Frequent diarrhea </bull>• Mouth ulcers
• Frequent constipation • Tooth enamel defects
• Frequent bloating • Itchy skin lesions
• Unintended weight loss • Bone or joint pain
• Failure to grow (in children) • Frequent headaches
• Anemia • Unexplained fatigue

Not to mention the fact that if Amy here eats gluten it destroys the lining in her intestines.

Just to compare, when Oprah here falls off the wagon and accidentally eats gluten, here is what happens to her:

 Oprah just couldn't resist a little taste of gluten, look at her bloat!

That's right, nothing. Well, she will probably gain some weight, because contrary to popular belief the "gluten free diet" is NOT necessarily healthy. Because we are a nation of fadders, we blindly follow the fad diet without research, and why would we when Oprah is endorsing it?! Gluten free food often depends on more fat in the product to make up for the lack of the gluten that makes the item so god damn delicious. You are still eating fat and carbs and calories, the only thing you are lacking is gluten.

The gluten free diet is far more annoying than any other diet fad out there. When a vegetarian or a vegan crosses over to the dark side (the side where meat and dairy create the perfect marriage of a cheeseburger) the only person that gets hurt is the cow that is already dead. And let's face it, that vegan was craving the cheese and that vegetarian was craving the meat, I know, I was a pescetarianian for about 6 years, and I craved bacon daily, and when I finally caved and tasted that rare steak I wanted to kick myself in the ass for the 6 years I lost.

So remember little emo kid, next time you run around stating, "well, I am ALMOST fully vegan, but I love cake!", there maybe a celiac within ear shot that wants to fully murder you. Where you will only disappoint your feeble skinny jean wearing girlfriend, Amy here can NEVER have cake at any given moment. She has to track down a gluten free bakery, thrown down $10.50 for a slice and pray to god it is decent - not delicious, but just decent.

There is a joke, "How many vegans does it take to eat a steak?" Answer: One, when no one is looking.
Well here is a joke for celiacs, "How many celiacs does it take to eat some bread?" Answer: "Well, it would take one cause they love bread more than anything ever invented but if they have even an ounce of gluten they spend the next three days on the couch with horrible abdominal pains and the bad kind of poop and their intestines start to swell and get irritated, but you know - Oprah said my body will be cleansed."

  Don't worry, the dog is gluten free.

You need to be aware that when your gluten-free friend goes out to eat with you, he/she is basically playing roulette. Ordering something that shouldn't have gluten in it, like a salad minus croutons, may seem harmless but it's not. How many times have you ordered food "minus" something but when you get it you can tell the item was "picked" out? This happens to me with raw onions all the time. I detest raw onions, and you can NOT fool me, I can smell onion juice from a mile away...it smells like stinky feet. I know that your grubby hands were digging around in my salad, picking out little onion shards (poorly, might I add, because you missed the one that just ruined my day) but I digress. My point is, most restaurants don't worry about cross contamination, so your friend is taking a big risk ordering anything. And for pete's sake, do not invite your gluten-free friend to a place that has gluten in its name, like "Pizza Hut" or "The Macaroni Grill." That just makes you an insensitive d-bag.

Hopefully there are restaurants in your area with gluten-free menus. Big cities tend to have more of these because GF is kind of a fad diet right now (though I still don't understand why). Several chains, such as Outback Steak House and Chilis, offer gluten-free options. We went to an Outback once where the manager brought out Amy's food himself so that she knew her plate hadn't even touched the plates with gluten on them. Not all places are that awesome though, even the ones that claim to accommodate food allergies can screw up. When Amy orders at a restaurant she basically has to scare them into thinking she will die if gluten touches her plate. I'm not going to lie, I have used this trick before when trying to order something without onions. I have never heard of a fatal onion allergy, but no one has challenged me on this as of yet (I don't do it that often, seems like bad karma).

If you frequently socialize with gluten-free folks, it is way easier to eat and drink what they do as much as possible. #1: it saves money because you aren't buying two types of everything. #2: it cuts down on the chances of an accidental glutening. I now only buy potato vodka over grain vodka and I'm pretty sure home made rice cookies (slightly under cooked) are one of the greatest foods on earth.

I know, you like to share. I do too. But if you offer your Celiac friend a doughnut hole one more time he/she is going to punch you in the face. There is also the off chance that your gluten-free friend absent-mindedly eats the doughnut hole, at which point you will be partially responsible for a glutening. nice one.

This is not an innuendo, I'm talking about accidental contamination and it is the easiest gluten no-no to make. Hanging out with a Celiac is like...I don't know...some sports analogy about needing to be alert all the time.

I still have close calls. I almost dipped a wheat cracker in a designated gluten-free cheese plate this past Sunday. And a few weeks ago Amy's husband, Mike, caught me tossing sliced cheese that had touched crackers into a ziplock with non-crackery cheese, and then putting it in their fridge. That is bad.

similar and equally dangerous scenarios:
- keep your pita out of the hummus
- keep your baguette out of the baked brie
- keep your pretzel out of the mustard
- do not put your gluteny-toast-crumby knife back in the butter/spread

Sounds easy, right? WRONG! Gluten is a tricky bastard and it hides in things that you wouldn't even think of, like the adhesive that you lick on stamps and envelopes. Sometimes it gives itself funny names to disguise itself, such as "Semolina" (coming soon: Natalie's Semolina Story). And then there is the dreaded "accidental contamination." An innocent swipe of a cracker in some cheese dip, and it's all over.

We have been friends for over 12 years, and in those 12 years we have consumed a LOT of gluten together...eating was kind of our thing. We met working at a restaurant and spent years playing the "Will it taste good deep fried?" game (the answer almost across the board is "yes"). Do you want to know how long it takes to drive to Chicago from Detroit? Answer: One box of Cheeze-its. "Sopranos Sunday" at Amy and her husband's house was gluten-palooza. It was a weekly excuse for us to gorge ourselves on pizza, pasta, and beer. So when Amy started getting sick a few years ago, the last thing we wanted to believe was that our beloved food was causing all her pain.

Ghosts of gluten past: Amy and I ate this monstrosity on a camping trip several years ago. I can't remember the exact reason, but I am sure alcohol was involved.

Long story short: Amy has Celiac Disease in a big way. Gluten is her Kryptonite, even a little bit and she is out of commission for days. We call it getting "glutened," and it has happened a lot!

The following blog is for the gluten-eaters who do not want to harm their non-gluten eating friends.

Eat 'Em And Smile: Our Favorite Pictures Of David Lee Roth
Too much party.
Lemmy, Josh Homme, Keith Richards, Marc Bolan, GG Allin, and Billy Fucking Gibbons - that's just a sampling of the rock stars that Rocks Off wishes he could be. The list goes on and on. Today though is the birthday of a one of the most special rockers to ever high-kick on this mud ball called Earth, and his name is David Lee Roth.
Yes, today Diamond Dave turns 57, and the current Van Halen lead singer still manages to enthrall us almost over 30 years since VH's 1978 debut album. Who else can wear assless fringe? Who else can cover Louis Prima and the Kinks within the same set? Who but DLR could hire dwarves as his security detail? We submit that there is no one.
Sources close to Rocks Off say the band is currently putting the finishing touches on a new album and gearing up for a tour in 2012, and the new material sounds like a synthesis between old VH and a new frontier spearheaded by new bassist Wolfgang Van Halen. It remains to be seen if it will thrill or disappoint. No doubt hearing a man close to his '60s bellowing about broads in bikinis and the summer sun is what this world now needs.
In a time full of recessions, political strife, and general uncertainty, we need DLR on the scene now more than ever. Those scissor kicks, yelps, and naughty smiles can do more than any politician's pen or smile.

Chain link fence is made of steel wire, coated to prevent rusting. It is woven into chain-link fence by machine. Most chain-link fence is galvanized (coated with zinc), but plastic-coated fences are now manufactured. Chain-link fence used to only come in the metallic color caused by galvanization but is now available in a variety of colors. Chain link fence is still manufactured in the USA as well as in Asia.
Chain link fence has been around longer than you might think. "Wire-netting" was invented in Norwich, England; a machine was first built to produce it in 1844. Norwich had been a weaving town for centuries making fine fabrics, but in the 19th century the business declined due to competition from cheaper fabrics made elsewhere. Norwich also had a history in metalwork and is located in a large agricultural area. "Weaving" wire was a crossover startup idea. What they invented was chicken-wire; chain link fence developed later using heavier-gauge wire.
Anchor Fence claims to be the oldest chain link fence manufacturer in the USA, established in 1891 using weaving machines from Belgium (another large weaving center in Europe).
Galvanized Wire
At the core of almost every chain link fence is steel wire. It is coated with zinc or a zinc alloy; it can be coated before or after weaving; galvanizing before weaving may result in more even coverage. Zinc does not simply prevent rust by mechanically excluding water; it also has an electrochemical effect where the zinc corrodes rather than the steel. This helps preserve the integrity of the steel. Many outdoor metal fittings are galvanized. Zinc is applied either by hot-dip or electroplating. Zinc alloys such as zinc-aluminum are sometimes used instead of pure zinc. Vinyl-coated chain link often starts with galvanized wire as a base for further coatings.
Plastic Coated Wire
Plastic chain link fence can now be found in stores. Lightweight chicken-wire can be all-plastic, but most chain-link fence with a plastic finish is made of galvanized steel wire that has been through additional processes to add polyvinyl coating. Some coatings are made of powders which are electrostatically applied to the wire and then heated to bond it. The coatings applied in this type of process can be pigmented, and so chain link fence may now come in black, green, brown and other colors.
Fence Accessories
Metal fence posts for chain link fence are usually also galvanized steel, as are the clamps for fixing the fence fabric between posts. Privacy slats may be made of aluminum or be all-plastic, such as HDPE (high density polyethylene).

Australian radio network dumps royal hoax show
The Australian radio show at the centre of the royal hoax scandal has been taken off air permanently.
The Hot30 Countdown was temporarily suspended after the hosts, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, made a prank phone call to the London hospital treating the Duchess of Cambridge, which resulted in details of her recovery from morning sickness being revealed on air last month.
Jacintha Saldanha, the Indian-born nurse who transferred the call to the Duchess's ward at the private King Edward VII's Hospital, took her own life three days later, triggering a massive backlash against the Australian DJs, who were sidelined by the Austereo network which owns their show.
The pair received death threats over the call, in which they posed as the Queen and the…

The Liberty Split
I've long predicted that when Ron Paul retired we'd see a massive split within the liberty movement. That time has arrived, and it's been further compounded by Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney; a move that was necessary to legitimize his liberty faction and create a position of power for our views within the GOP.

New products from Gamma Scientific are deLUXe
The recently introduced SpectralLED™ tunable light source from Gamma Scientific combines the light of dozens of discrete LEDs – each having a different centre wavelength – to produce output that can be programmed to closely match virtually any illuminant source or the spectrum of any illuminant reflected by a target.
Now new SpectralLED™ models are available with either fibre-optic outputs for awkward to reach places requiring illumination, or as a 1 m integrating sphere system offering ultra-uniform output from a 300 mm diameter port.
Gamma Scientific has also introduced new display measurement instrumentation equipped with powerful spectral data acquisition and analysis software that makes them ideal for calibrating any type of display…
- LEDs, LCDs & Plasmas
- Near eye systems
- VR headsets & helmet-mounted optics
- Video walls
- Projection screens, HUDs
- …and more
For more details, visit our Gamma Scientific product pages or contact us for specific information.
New SpectralLED Tunable LED Light Source from Gamma Scientific
The new SpectralLED™ tunable light source from Gamma Scientific combines the output of 30 discrete LEDs – each having a different centre wavelength – to produce output that can be programmed to closely match virtually any illuminant source or the spectrum of any illuminant reflected by a target.
SpectralLED™ can sweep through wavelengths to simulate a scanning monochromator, but with the advantage of no moving parts. In addition to superior spectral resolution and accuracy, the SpectralLED™ also offers about 10x higher brightness than any competitive product. This allows measurements over a much larger, linear dynamic range, and is sufficient to illuminate virtually any detector at levels up to saturation.
A combination of DC constant current drivers, optical feedback, and thermoelectric cooling maintains the source's high luminance accuracy in real time, allowing brightness to be varied directly (through drive current), rather than by pulse width modulation (PWM). This eliminates any flicker.
The SpectralLED™ will allow sensor, camera and system manufacturers to perform a wide variety of calibration and testing functions with a single instrument. Applications include smartphones and tablets, DSLR cameras, cinematography camcorders, diagnostic medical imaging, technical and industrial photography, or any OEM camera, sensor or detector application. White balance, spatial uniformity, defects, linearity, dynamic range, signal-to-noise, responsivity and ISO speed are specific tests the SpectralLED™ is ideally suited for carrying out.

Pushing or Leading?
Do your children feel led or pushed? Are you as a parent dominated by love or frustration? The two questions are tightly connected. Leading is born out of love and pushing is born out of frustration. As parents we may tell our children that we demand obedience and speak sharply because we love them and only want the best for them. Most likely our children are not buying this explanation. It feels to them as if they are being manipulated into doing what mom and dad want. But God has.. read more

The interest in those markets comes at a time when the overall number of tourists to Hawaii is also declining. Nearly 7.4 million visitors came to the islands last year, a drop of 1.2 percent from 2006.
While arrivals in January increased over the same month last year, the number of visitors in 2008 is expected to decline by 1.4 percent.
"I wouldn't bet the mortgage on the fact that January is going to continue," said Rex Johnson, head of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
While January saw a surge in Canadian visitors, arrivals from Japan dropped by 5.2 percent. More than 1.3 million Japanese visited Hawaii last year.
Marsha Wienert, state tourism liaison, said more Japanese visitors are not returning to Hawaii after their first trip in favor of new, cheaper destinations, such as Taiwan.
Increased fuel costs are leading to higher ticket prices, she said.
While state tourism officials are trying to increase tourism from Japan, they are also turning to China and South Korea.
South Korean tourist arrivals have been hovering at around 35,000 a year - far below the high of 123,000 in 1996.
Visitors from the country must currently apply for a visa in person at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul before they leave for the United States.
Short-term visitors from Japan and selected other nations, in contrast, may enter the United States without obtaining a visa in advance.
Tourism officials say they hope South Koreans will be able to do the same by the end of 2008 or the beginning of next year under a law signed by President Bush last year that allows more countries to qualify for visa waivers.
"We are very optimistic once Korea becomes a visa waiver country ... that Hawaii will reap major benefits where tourism is concerned," Wienert said.
She added that Hawaii also expects to see increases in visitors from China, where the islands could not actively promote themselves until recently.
But Frank Haas, assistant dean of the school of travel industry management at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, said the Chinese face many obstacles in traveling to Hawaii.
They must apply for visas in person and don't have convenient flights to the state, he said. He added that while the country has a growing middle class, it does not have the spending power of Japan.
"It's just easier, less expensive and less of a hassle for them to go somewhere else," he said.

Man accused of 'secret peeping' at Got to be NC Festival in Raleigh
Posted May 22
Raleigh, N.C. — A Knightdale man has been accused of secretly "peeping" at women during a Raleigh festival.
The incident happened on Saturday at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds during the Got to be NC Festival. Officials said Matthew Keller, 26, is charged with eight felony counts of peeping. According to an arrest warrant, Keller used a cell phone to secretly look at the underwear of several women at the festival.
Keller was released on a $50,000 bond and will appear in court on Monday.

Flotation Devices are used in the Rapids Ride and Catfish level. They grant you normal movement speed in water, and the ability to do attacks as if on solid land. There are various flotation devices in the level.
Flotation DevicesEdit
|Thief's corpse
|Ship steering wheel
|Shark's head
|Wooden Mill
Trivia Edit
- The fish floatation device looks similar to that of the Pokémon, Magikarp.
- The ship steering wheel is exactly the same as the one that the Gray Knight maneuvering the ship turns, only that one is gold.
- The crocodile head raft bears a virtually identical similarity with the Crocodile mount that they may be the same sprite with the exception of the brown spine visible on the rafts back.
- The shark heads are not to be confused with the Shark fin enemies trying to attack you, which may lead to players attempting to kill it at first.
- If you just jump upward, not off, they will remain underneath you, rather than float away.

Transport Tycoon is a city management simulator game without direct city management. Players can construct a few factories and other industrial buildings, but that's the extent of their control over their towns. Instead, they can indirectly affect the way an area will expand and populate by creating various transportation routes across the land. Buses ferry passengers around town or even between cities. Trains haul commuters and a number of different kinds of cargo over great distances. Trucks deliver resources to factories in order to produce special goods, which can themselves be transported and distributed. A successful network will earn a fair bit of cash, which can then be used to add more routes and vehicles as the cycle continues.
If you have not played before, Transport Tycoon puts you in control of a transport company in the making and gives you the tools to grow into a booming business . You are responsible for roads, railways , bridges , tunnels , airports , docks , and the vehicles that use them. You have plenty of control over their vehicles including what routes they take, how long they expect in their stalls , and what cars represent each of their trains. Profitability is all about how efficiently it can move people and freight between and around cities . Taking advantage of supply and demand is also important, especially considering that you can have a maximum of 14 other transport companies competing with you . Overall, the game takes place between 1900 and 2000 (some scenes are of a bit later era also) . As time passes , new technologies emerge and , of course , up to you to take advantage of them.
Of course, not everyone will like this type of game is unforgiving, but the veteran players and those who like to be challenged prosper to complete 50 varied game scenarios, many of which are modeled after various regions of Latin North America and Europe in different parts of the 20th century, it just adds another layer of realism to Transport Tycoon. As for transport vehicles will be purchasing, management, maintenance, including a sale, there are over 150 of them, buses, vans and trucks on ferries, tankers and small boats, with dozens of different types of trains and aircraft – Transport Tycoon gives you the opportunity to micromanage everything. And if you get hooked, there is no letting go of it anytime soon, so you can clear your schedule if you usually like this kind of games.
The level of complexity here is best explained with an example. If you want to start a bus service you need to buy a bus. Then you need to build bus stops for the bus to travel between . When you are building these shows you the area of influence of the stop. Overlays are bad. Once the stops are built have to go to a new menu, select your bus, then choose a piece of way to place it on . Then you need to take advantage of the ' bus out on the road ' button . Once you are down you need to configure a route to follow. As you play on the bus in the menu to open a submenu and click on the tab below to open the " car orders. Now you can tap each of the bus stops, and then set a point reference. once all stations are marked , click on the big button ' Go' on the corner and the bus toddle off. And all that is assuming the roads are already there for you to drive around.
Playing it feels like work. It's not fun. I tried getting into it a lot over the last two months since I was accepted into the beta, but I rarely got past building my first transit line before wanting to throw my iPad out the window and find something else to do.
The only minor problems I had with the phone port of the cult classic refer to the new user interface based on touch , which is pretty good overall, but some of the smaller things , like camera rotation are still a little dated , but that's a small price to pay to play it on the road , considering that the game was not built from scratch for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. However, there has been a lot of reports on more Android devices and iOS experiencing incredibly low frame rates , which is something that hopefully Origin8 easily fix in the next update or two. Personally , I've only experienced some minor delays and a couple of accidents during the later stages of the game more advanced scenarios , although I did play Transport Tycoon on an iPad 4, so I imagine the weaker iOS devices could easily have more operating problems , not to mention that the optimization of a couple hundred phones and tablets Android is a developer 's nightmare in itself. However, as mentioned above , these performance problems should be relatively easy to solve and the game is expected to work better and smoother in all systems will become increasingly portable.
Overall, Transport Tycoon for iOS is an excellent and faithful port with nothing really going against it, apart from a couple of small problems, which are likely to be corrected, and worth its price. You will find countless hours of fun in this title micromanagement. If you are a numbers and statistics, indeed.

See when and where the Indy-area tornado touched down.
INDIANAPOLIS - When Tuesday began, severe weather was not expected. A variety of factors came together to produce confirmed EF-1 tornado that struck Plainfield.
Thunderstorms were in the forecast for Tuesday, but they were not expected to become severe.
WATCH: Tornado-producing storm spun like a top

Get Storm Shield app for iPhone and Android
The Storm Prediction Center did not have Indiana or any other area of the Midwest in a risk zone for severe weather.
That underscores the inexact science of weather forecasting. Sometimes, elements come together to cause severe weather that can't be seen far in advance.
The storm that hit Plainfield and then weakened as it entered Marion and Hamilton counties was fueled by several factors, including but not limited to a nearby low-pressure area, ample moisture, twisting winds with height and pockets of sunshine to fuel instability.
A storm formed and quickly picked up strength in Morgan County. Radar picked up rotation in the storm, but as it moved toward Marion County, that storm weakened.
The second storm formed a little north of the first one, quickly developing a rotating wall cloud and lower-level rotation.
Within minutes, a tornado dropped from that storm.
"At 2:32 was the first report of a touchdown with debris," said StormTeam 6 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Gregory.
The storm raked the eastern side of Plainfield before apparently lifting as it neared the Marion County line, possibly dropping again before lifting and weakening.
No severe weather watches were ever issued, and the conditions that caused the tornado did not last long.
Dry and comfortable through the weekend.
When you're on the go, you want a news app that not only keeps you connected, but is fast and easy to use.
If you miss Monday's eclipse, you'll only have to wait seven years for the next one.
A tropical disturbance in the middle of the Atlantic is slowly growing and moving closer to the United States.
Hurricane Gert could have the company of up to three more tropical systems by the weekend.
The total solar eclipse is less than a week away, and the forecast is showing up in 7-day forecasts.

MAC Smoky Plum Crushed Metallic Pigment Kit
MAC's Dazzlesphere Collection launches on November 10th, and the next set I'm reviewing is MAC Smoky Plum Crushed Metallic Pigment Kit ($32.50 for 0.40 oz.), which contains four shades: Light Violet (pale violet), Grape (purple), Seasonally Cool (sparkling taupe), and Misty (pale silver). Crushed Metallic Pigments are described as having "intense colour payoff" with "medium coverage" and "highly reflective metallic sparkle." They are "creamy, crease-resistant, [and] long-wearing."
In my experience, these pigments wear well as long as you ensure you've really "crushed" them against the skin/lid. I've worn them with and without a base and the difference is minimal. There is some noticeable but relatively minor fading after eight hours when applied without a base (or mixing medium). For more on how they wear, please see this post where I went in-depth on that particular characteristic.
I loved the smoothness and vibrancy of Grape, while Light Violet was one of the worst shades out of the three sets entirely. It was very gritty and chunky–it was much harder to work with and extremely prone to fall out. I also had some fall out issues with Seasonally Cool from the sparkle when used dry, but it was lessened if it was applied damp. Generally, the finishes are extremely frosted, metallic-like, and add a lot of oomph to a look–but they may be better when mixed and matched with other finishes (like mattes) for more textural contrast as all of these at once can almost look heavy on the eye.

MAC's Dazzlesphere Collection will debut in-stores on November 10th, and the first I'm reviewing is MAC Smoky Berry Crushed Metallic Pigment Kit ($32.50 for 0.40 oz.) contains four shades: Pearl (pearl), Rose Light (rose), Spicy Smoke (dark strawberry), and Roasted Chestnut (deep chocolate with gold pearl). It took a bit of digging, but I found the official description from when these were originally released, and they're described as having "intense colour payoff" with "medium coverage" and "highly reflective metallic sparkle." They are "creamy, crease-resistant, [and] long-wearing."
I wore this set as a look (used all of the shades except Rose Light) without a base on one eye and with a base (MAC Mixing Medium) on the other (double-duty testing!). I applied Pearl and Spicy Smoke with a dampened brush, while I applied Roasted Chestnut dry into the crease. I'm pleased to report that I didn't have any fall out while I wore the look; there was some minor fall out from Roasted Chestnut being used dry during initial application, but I did not find lots of sparkle and shimmer underneath my eye hours later. On the eye without a base, it looked only slightly faded eight hours later as it did when I first applied the shades (with a base, it was fine). The real trick is really pressing the pigment against the lid so it combines and binds together. I recommend using a firmer brush like the 242.
The consistency varies, though they tend to be a little chunky, with some (like Roasted Chestnut) being very chunky in the pot, while some are finer (like Spicy Smoke). Generally, the finishes are extremely frosted, metallic-like, and add a lot of oomph to a look–but they may be better when mixed and matched with other finishes (like mattes) for more textural contrast as all of these at once can almost look heavy on the eye. I'm not particularly keen on the packaging; it's a cute concept–the stackable jars–but they're messy.
P.S. — It's interesting how grams/ounces work; each stack of two is labeled as 6g/0.21 oz., while the bottom of the outer packaging said 12g/0.40 oz.. According to a Google conversion from 12g to ounces, it was 0.423 oz. I'm not sure why the math is a little off here.

A good moisturizer, because my skin can be on the drier side if I'm not using an appropriate one. Next, I'd say my makeup brushes, because I really do prefer using them to apply makeup!

Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Vice, Taint, Kink, Faux Pas
Illamasqua's fall/winter collection, Theatre of the Nameless, included four new shades of their Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.), and they're described as: Vice (deep cerise), Taint (stone brown), Kink (bottle green), and Faux Pas (blue violet). They have a "rubber finish."
If you remember Orly's Plastix Collection, then the finish to these may seem familiar. It's a bit like vinyl; it's not matte because there is a muted shine to the natural finish, but it's not your traditional cream. This type of finish is tempermental; ensure that each coat is dry before applying the next one, and it's best to wait as long as possible for the final coat to dry before doing anything else. These will pick up and show texture so, so much if you rush! They dry quicker than your standard polish but not as quickly as a matte finished shade.
The wear on this is less than the average Illamasqua Varnish, because in order to maintain the rubbery finish, you can't use a top coat on top. I managed seven days with noticeable tip wear but no chips–I would have probably removed it after four or five days because of the tip wear, but I wanted to put it to the full week test.
