For the past five decades, 82-year old Leo Pearlstein has found a way to publicize every type of food imaginable with the help of a movie, TV, music, sports or political celebrity. How he ingeniously concocted his campaigns is revealed for the first time in his just-released book, "Celebrity Stew." The coffee-table book includes over 200 nostalgic and rare photos of many of Hollywood's top stars.
Pearlstein's publicity campaigns not only helped sell food, but also the projects of the celebrities he teamed with including Abbott & Costello, Groucho Marx, Dinah Shore, Bob Hope, Vincent Price, Phyllis Diller, Doris Day, Mickey Rooney, Jimmy Durante and his good friend, Steve Allen, who wrote the book's foreword.
Pearlstein recognized early in his career that celebrities could help him orchestrate food demonstrations, contests, parades, photo ops, recipe books, conventions, endorsements, tie-ins and awards that would increase the visibility and sales of his clients' products. And when there wasn't a star available to guest on a radio, TV or personal appearance, the ever-resourceful Pearlstein created his own: finding the most beautiful model-spokespersons whom he would meticulously coach about every aspect of the product, and then anoint them with titles including Miss Prune, Miss Turkey, and Miss Boysenberry, to name a few.
They would then appear on shows such as, "Dinah!," "The Steve Allen Show," and "What's My Line?" Seasoning each chapter are classic photos of the famous who found themselves as ingredients in Pearlstein's publicity recipes, including Bill Cosby, Angie Dickenson, Pat Boone, Wayne Newton, Jack Nicklaus, Gerald Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liberace, Bob Barker, Barbara Eden, and favorite TV families including Lassie, My Three Sons, The Danny Thomas Show and The Real McCoys.
This book is full of interesting facts about food, woven throughout his many stories. The book also shares 10 classic celebrity recipes including Bill Cosby's "Prune-Nut Dressing," Phyllis Diller's "Baked Dill-Stuffed Sole," health guru Jack La Lane's "Apple Pie," Bob Hope's "Honeyed-Fig Grapefruit Halves," and Dinah Shore's "Prune Whip and Port Wine."
"Celebrity Stew" is available in most bookstores or can be ordered from Hollywood Circle Press, P.O. Box 48051, Los Angeles, CA 90048. For more details, or to order on-line, visit www.celebritystew.com, which shares Steve Allen's entire Foreword, as well as photos of some of the celebrities featured in the book.

STEVIE NICKS WAS on the road — as usual — being driven to the Hamptons Film Festival for last Sunday's world premiere of "In Your Dreams," her self-produced documentary chronicling the year she spent recording her latest solo album — her first in a decade — with the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart.
Talking on her cellphone as she rolled through Long Island, she confessed, "I'm really nervous about it. I've seen the film a hundred times because I've been editing it since last February. But, honestly, this is my first time delving into anything involving film. In the '80s, we made a lot of videos, but that's as filmesque as I've ever been. I know so little about all of this. I've never been to a film festival before in my life."
She didn't take long to get the hang of it. After the premiere, the 64-year-old rock hall of famer treated the audience in Sag Harbor's Bay Street Theater to an impromptu medley that included 1981's "Bella Donna," the title track of an album that's sold more than 8 million copies and earned her the title of "the reigning queen of rock 'n' roll" from Rolling Stone magazine.
We can only hope she feels that inspired when she's here for Friday's 6:30 p.m. screening of "In Your Dreams" at the Mill Valley Film Festival.
"San Francisco is kind of like my second hometown," she told me in a voice that is surprisingly deep. "I lived there and started playing in a band from 1968 to 1971, so I really feel like I'm coming home."
Nicks met schoolmate Lindsey Buckingham during her senior year at Menlo Atherton High School on the peninsula. He was playing "California Dreamin'" at a party, she began harmonizing with him, and thus began one of the most enduring and tempestuous relationships in rock.
Two years later, he invited her to join him in Fritz, a band that was popular enough in the Bay Area in those days to open for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the other groups that created the San Francisco Sound.
"We happened to live in San Francisco during the greatest music period of all time, from 1966 to 1971," she told me. "We opened all those amazing shows at the Fillmore and the Avalon and Winterland. That was one of those accidentally-we-fell-upon it times in our lives."
Wearing her feather boas, furs and oversized glasses, Joplin had a flamboyant stage persona that Nicks would later interpret in her own mystical way, creating an ethereal visual style — diaphanous skirts and shawls, platform boots, layers of leather and lace.
"We opened for Janis two, maybe three times," she recalled. "When you're in the band that opens up, the perk is that you get to sit on the side of the stage and watch the headlining act. What I walked away with from watching her was huge. You don't want to be Janis Joplin, but you certainly pick up the things she did that you love and carry them into your own thing. San Francisco made Lindsey and I who we are. That's where we learned how to be rock 'n' roll' stars."
With that experience behind them, when she and Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, they were ready for the big time.
"Lindsey and I had learned our craft in San Francisco," she explained. "That's why it was so easy for us to walk onstage with Fleetwood Mac 1975."
Nicks' impact on the formerly British band was immediate. Fleetwood Mac's eponymous 1975 album was a commercial and critical success, thanks largely to her song "Rhiannon," voted by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 greatest songs of all time. She also contributed "Landslide," another much-covered classic.
The band was flying high when it holed up in Sausalito's Record Plant to record "Rumours," the 1978 album of the year. It's sold 40 million copies on the strength of four Top 10 singles, including Nicks' song "Dreams," the band's first and only No. 1 hit.
In "Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album," producer Ken Caillat reveals the drama around the band then, the creative differences, infidelity, divorce, drugs, alcohol and hard partying that the group somehow managed to survive. Despite that chaotic history, Nicks has pleasant memories of that crazy period.
"We were in Sausalito for about four months," she recalled. "That was one of the best times I can remember. Being in Sausalito every day and being able to sit in restaurants and look across the bay at San Francisco and drink Irish coffee and laugh and kid around and then go to work in this beautiful studio was so much fun. We have great memories of Sausalito."
Nicks, who has recovered from addiction to cocaine and the prescription drug Klonopin, has eight acclaimed solo albums to her credit. The new one, "In Your Dreams," was recorded in the mansion she owns in Pacific Palisades that is featured so prominently in the documentary. She bought the place in 2005, but lives most of the time with her dog in a nearby one-bedroom apartment overlooking the ocean.
"The house became one of the characters in the film," she said. "In San Francisco in the '60s we would have said, 'This is a happening.' It was like a trip without the acid. Everybody who would come over would just want to be there. We were like rolling stones that were gathering moss."
One of the guests was Buckingham, who played acoustic guitar and sang background vocals on the recording of "Soldier Song," a track inspired by the volunteer work Nicks has done with wounded veterans at Walter Reed Hospital.
In the film, Buckingham's visit was portrayed as a healing moment in their famously stormy love affair cum friendship.
"You could see him relax and start having a great time," she remembered. "He didn't feel like he was in any kind of competition (with Dave Stewart). But since the beginning, Lindsey and I never really agreed on anything, but that's just who we are. If we had felt exactly the same, I don't think we would have made a good duo. We're always going to be Lindsey and Stevie. It was the same when we were 16 and 17 as it is now that we're 63 and 64. We're exactly the same people."
Nicks is at the end of a summerlong tour behind the "In Your Dreams" album. The Rafael Film Center screening of the 101-minute documentary about the making of the record will be its West Coast premiere. On Oct. 27, she stars in "A Bewitching Evening with Stevie Nicks," a Halloween street party benefit for the revamping of A.C.T.'s Strand Theatre (www.act-sf.org).
Nicks looks back on the year she spent making the record and the film as the best of her life. "When everybody left, I sat on the stairs, put my head in my hands and cried," she recalled. "I really didn't want it to end."
But she's knows it's time to look ahead. She will rejoin Fleetwood Mac in February for yet another tour.
"At some point you have to move on," she said. "And Fleetwood Mac, they're waiting. We'll probably tour all next year. And then I'll go back to my own world the year after next. That's the future."

A DECISION has been made regarding who will be the next Great Britain manager, the Advertiser understands.
The BSPA managing committee, made up of Alex Harkess, Jon Cook, Chris Van Straaten, David Hoggart and George English, met today to discuss the issue and came to a conclusion, although the candidates have yet to be informed.
It is believed to be a straight fight between Robins boss Alun Rossiter and former Birmingham team manager Phil Morris, while Gary Havelock and Rob Lyon also applied for the position vacated by Poole chief Neil Middleditch.
It is thought the candidates will be informed by email in the coming days before a formal announcement is made.
Meanwhile, Robins skipper Troy Batchelor does not require surgery on the knee ligament tear he suffered riding in the Australian Championship second round in Undera on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old saw a specialist yesterday who confirmed the medial ligament in his left knee would heal naturally in the next four to six weeks, meaning he will be fit for the start of the European season in mid-March.

Brent Pease understands fans' craving for big plays, but he's not measuring UF's offense solely by its numbers.
Fans want lots of yards, lots of points, lots of big plays, lots of passes deep down the field. Brent Pease understands. He gets it. But he's not measuring (or judging) his offense based on big plays and big numbers, he said Tuesday.
"That's called you're trying to get your guru card. Maybe when I was 30 years old, but I'm not 30 years old anymore," said the 48-year-old Pease. "I got out of that where I worried about getting a guru card. So, there are other people that still try to get guru cards. I'm out of that stage in my life."
The Florida offensive coordinator is in a different stage now, one where priorities are different.
Like being efficient and having a plan that gives you the best chance to win. Like controlling the ball, completing a high percentage of passes, having a quarterback who knows how to manage the offense, being balanced, converting third downs.
Based on the above criteria, Pease said the offense's opening-day performance against Toledo should be judged a success.
"Compared to what we did last year, we controlled the ball for 40 minutes, finished the game with 6:38 on the clock, we rushed for 262 (yards), we passed for 77 percent, we had one turnover we need to improve on, we had nine explosives," he said. "We were six-of-12 on third downs, which last year at this same thing we were asking each other about, 'Hey, what do we have to do on third downs?' We were 3-for-3 on third-and-1s.
"Should we have come out in the third quarter and probably had more production in the first two series instead of three-and-outs? Yes. We've got to put points on the board there. We hit a lull and we've gotta be able to step it up and not do that. Score at the end of the game.
"So if you're measuring us against points? Yeah, we left points out there. But we had things in control and we ran the last — I don't know how many plays, but it was 6:38 on the clock, and we walked off the field with the offense on the field and we were on the 1-yard line or the 3-yard line or whatever we were on, trying to score."
Pease said the Gators did not have a "vanilla" game plan designed to hold things back for Saturday's game with Miami.
"I've never made a game plan with vanilla," Pease said. "It's never what I would go into with a game plan. I would feel too uncomfortable saying, 'We've got to save all this, save all that.'
"We didn't have a vanilla game plan. You saw reverses. I can't handle what the refs don't see, but yet they call (a holding penalty) and it keeps us out of the end zone. If we get that thing in the end zone and score there …"
Quarterback Jeff Driskel threw the ball downfield only seven times. Two of his best throws came on play-action passes to wide receiver Trey Burton. A third laser on a play-action pass was dropped by Solomon Patton.
Pease said the low number of downfield passes was dictated by the coverage Toledo was playing in the secondary.
"Coverage takes some things away," he said. "Do you ask the quarterback not to throw into coverage deep? Yeah, you do. We can stretch the field if we want to stretch the field.
"Did we have to stretch the field at a certain point in time? No. Did we have it in the game plan? Yes. I'm not sure what everybody wants, and I'm not saying you guys (the media) as much as things I hear on the outside. I understand.
"Are we going to throw the ball 75 times a game and throw vertical? No. When a team plays quarters coverage like Toledo, you don't throw the ball vertical. You throw the ball in intermediate to check-down throws."
Pease pointed out Driskel's check-down pass to fullback Gideon Ajagbe that went for 12 yards as an example. It was a key play on a touchdown drive in the third quarter.
Pease said he would like to see Driskel put up some big numbers in the passing game, but it can't be forced.
"Do I want to see 300 passing yards? Absolutely," he said. "Is that going to be a reality? I don't know. I don't measure what a success, or what you guys want to write or what people want to see, totally on that.
"We're completing 77 percent, (even though) we have two drops."
Driskel completed 17 of 22 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown and completed passes to eight different receivers. Pease said he was efficient in the passing game and effective getting the offense into the right running plays.
"The kid is making good decisions," Pease said. "He is managing the game. He played 66 plays, 51 he's making decisions on for our offense. Twenty-two of those he's completing 77 percent. On 29 (plays) he's got to make decisions in the run game. The ball is in his hands or he's putting us in the plays he needs to.
"He's making good situations. He's productive with the ball in his hands running it. He's putting us in the right plays in the run game. That's what I look at. Are we having a chance to win the game?"

Despite the shootings in Connecticut and Colorado, and several recent polls showing growing support for stricter gun laws, actual gun violence across America and California declined substantially since the peak in 1992.
While scholars cannot agree on why violent crimes have dropped, few can challenge the actual statistics documenting the downturn.
Despite the dire rhetoric from many pundits, Californians are less likely today to be involved in a violent crime than they were in 1972. The violent crime rate peaked in 1992, when Californians were nearly three times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than they are today.
While violent crime of all types is down, violent crime involving guns has dropped even faster. In 2006 there were 2,483 murders in California with 1,821 murders (74.1 percent) committed with a firearm. In 2011 there were 1,794 murders of these 1,226 (68.3 percent) involved firearms, according to data provided by the California Attorney General's Office. A similar reduction in armed robbery and aggravated assault was noted during the same period.
Calls for domestic violence within California also are down significantly since detailed records have been kept in the state starting in 1988. In 1988 there were 182,540 calls domestic violence related calls to law enforcement personnel. Of these calls 2,532 involved a firearm. By 2011 the number of calls had dropped to 158,547, despite the substantial increase in state population during the same period. A total of 975 of these calls involved a firearm.
In 1991 there were 203,636 domestic violence calls with 3,129 involving firearms.
While violence in most California jurisdictions has dropped since 1998, Mendocino County has remained at around the same levels with 483 violent crimes in 1998 versus 488 in 2010. Between 2007 and 2009 the county experienced an upswing in violence, rising to 560 violent crimes including seven murders in 2008. Data for 2011 is not yet available at the county level.
California handgun sales peaked in 1993, when 433,822 were sold. Handgun sales dropped sharply in the years following, mirroring a similar drop in violent crimes.
In 2003, handgun sales had dropped to the lowest point since records were kept in California to 126,233.
Since 2003, handgun sales have been slowly increasing with 293,429 sold in 2011.
While much has been said regarding the value of background checks, in reality only about one percent of persons attempting to purchase handguns are turned down through the background check process.
In 2008, the last date available with detailed statistics, of those turned down for weapon ownership, about one-third failed to pass the federal check, one-quarter for past felonies and the rest due to restraining orders or other prohibition.
About one-tenth of one percent of those denied a gun were turned down for mental health reasons.

I'm sorry if this would be more suited for the Introduction To Theravada subforum.
I'm a relative beginner. I've been practicing Anapanasati for a few months, and I try to attend a meditation with a Sri Lankan bhikku once a week (metta + anapanasati). Often, while meditating, I seem to be unable to tell whether or not I'm thinking. The space seems to be empty, but I feel like there is more going on than I am aware of. Sorry, it's hard to describe... does anybody know what I'm talking about?
Also, I find it very difficult to breathe unintentionally. I begin to worry if I'm suppressing the breath intentionally, etc

Last Friday night 82 Mercer Street was decked in gold and black, dimly lit and rather romantic with love for SWEET things. Saturday the New York City Wine and Food Festival brought a little kick to the space with Tacos and Tequila, presented this year by Tequila Avión, hosted by Bobby Flay, and benefiting The Food Bank for New York City and Share Our Strength. The crowd was definitely a bit more amped, the bites had some bang! to them, and tequila competed with a pounding sound system for brass.
We ate a lot of tacos from some of our favorite NYC chefs and a few shipped in for the weekend (all in the name of charity, of course). And while there were definitely some tasty eats in the traditional form (think house-made corn tortillas, braised short ribs, salsa verde and arbol), our favorites actually ended up being those with some sort of exotic flavor flare: Einat Admony of Balaboosta has some seriously layered flavor with her Jerusalem mix of chicken thighs, merguez and sweet breads. Harold Detierle of Kin Shop turned Thai yellow bean sauce into an aioli and drizzled it over ridiculously soft braised brisket and bone marrow. And Lee Ann Wong of Unique Eats slapped us in the face with her Miso Braised Mangalitsa Pork Neck tacos, which were so sweet, smoky, and soft we're swearing off all other breeds of pig.
For 19 of the plates we inhaled and our crowned classic favorite (from a new joint opening in the west village next month!), check out the slideshow above.

Mattel announces that they have extended the sale for their MattyCollector 2012 Subscription Plans by one week: Until Sunday August 14th at 11:59 pm PT. The plans include:
* Voltron Club Lion Force - Get 5 Lions that make a 23" tall Voltron, 5 Pilots with pieces to make an Ultra Blazing Sword, plus a club-exclusive Sven.
* Masters of the Universe Club Eternia - To include Sorceress, Kobra Kahn and more.
* Ghostbusters Club Ecto-1 - Fans will get a figure of Dana Barrett.
However, the extended deadline most benefits MattyCollector's newest club: DC Universe Club Infinite Earths. To include 6" characters like Poison Ivy, Atrocitus, The Flash 1 and Starman, the club will also offer over-sized figures. These over-sized offerings will be the only way to get what are currently Collect-and-Connect bonus figures featured in each wave - something Mattel will be phasing out completely next year. The bad news is that currently only 29% have subscribed to Club Infinite Earths - 71% away from the level of subscribers needed to move forward with the plan.
Fan reaction to the DC Universe Club Infinite Earths has been a mixed bag. While collectors want to continue to get large figures (to be priced at $30 each) as well as more obscure DC character choices, they do not want to lock into a yearly plan not knowing WHICH characters they will be receiving (large and small). Pricing is also a concern. While each standard figure will retail for only $15 under the plan, shipping on each figure brings them closer to $23 each (more than at mass retail).
What are your thoughts on DC Universe Club Infinite Earths? Do you support it or will you take your chances (and loses) with the continued standard line at retail?

There is nothing like the smell and flavor of a hot cup of coffee that was made from freshly ground coffee beans. The time it takes to grind your own coffee is well worth it. The general "life span" of ground coffee can be as little as few hours to a few days. We recommend you only grind as much coffee as needed for each pot of coffee or shot of espresso to get the absolute best flavors.Grinding your own coffee beans leads to a great tasting cup of coffee, whether you use a standard coffee maker or an espresso machine. Abt carries coffee grinders from top brands like Jura-Capresso, and KitchenAid.

The Art of Midwifery
During the first three months [of pregnancy] women are transforming at a rapid rate. Pregnancy can induce nausea, fatigue and uncertainty, along with elation and joy. In addition to advice on nutrition and necessary remedies, midwives can give newly pregnant women encouragement regarding birth and the future with their families. Hands-on care is about planting the seed of love and encouragement early on, giving women confidence and trust in themselves to do the work and do it well.
During the second trimester women come into acceptance and elation. Fear of miscarriage or losing the pregnancy fades and is replaced by the growing belly. The mother feels the baby move for the first time. This triggers a maternal response to plan and get organized. While we do monthly visits, many questions surface between visits. Midwives usually make themselves very accessible. "Presence" is an essential component to hands-on care. The knowledge that a woman can call her care provider whenever she needs to gives her peace of mind. Presence is not only being available but really listening to the pregnant woman. Stepping out of whatever distractions you have and making that woman feel like she is the only one who matters at that time. This sort of care increases the pregnant woman's confidence and makes her feel special. We all deserve this!
The third trimester marks a time of countdown! Time to focus on the birth and how it will go best. Women in the last trimester become thoughtful and introspective. They ponder their motherhood, womanhood and partnerships. If they are happy, life swims gracefully around them. However, if turmoil is at hand it can show up physically and emotionally, fast and furious. Midwives stay alert to this potential and respond to what they see.... Sitting and talking openly is the best hands-on care we can give.

Body Piercing in Pregnancy
As more and more women share their "private" piercings with health care providers, they are finding greater acceptance and understanding. Despite that, misconceptions, bias and negativity still exist. In the future midwives are likely to encounter clients who are pierced, if they haven't already, and need to have accurate information to share with them.
A good place to start in obtaining information is the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). The APP is an international nonprofit association dedicated to the dissemination of vital health and safety information regarding body piercing to piercers, health care providers and the general public. www.safepiercing.org
Piercing is not recommended during pregnancy because of the risk of infection, the long healing time and the changes in the body that come with the growing baby. Most piercers will not even consider piercing women during pregnancy, preferring that they wait until a safer time. The APP advises against it.
In regard to healed piercings, in general no special care is required during pregnancy.
Three areas for piercing that are of particular importance during pregnancy and postpartum are the navel, the nipples and the genitals. Those who already have gotten pierced and are now pregnant or planning to breastfeed often have questions about what to do. Should they remove the jewelry? Will they be able to breastfeed? Will the piercing come out?
As body art and piercings continue to grow in popularity, birth professionals need to be aware of any pregnancy-, birth- or breastfeeding-related issues that may be relevant. Sooner or later they will have a client with piercings and should be prepared to provide accurate advice.

Research to Remember
A case was reported in 2002 regarding a woman with a pierced tongue who had emergency postpartum surgery. She sustained injury to her tongue with bleeding and swelling, along with complications to airway management. The authors of the study expressed concern that such tongue jewelry may increasingly become problematic leading to inability to intubate or ventilate the patients. They recommend that oral jewelry be removed prior to anesthesia in the interest of safety.

Products for Birth Professionals
I have heard recently about an interesting ethical dilemma. A surrogate mom (who has given birth vaginally four times, loves pregnancy and birth and wants more children of her own) is pregnant through IVF (in vitro fertilization) with twins. The twins' family insists "their" twins be born in hospital with all the high-tech around; the pregnant woman knows she's walking straight into a c-section and is not willing to have one. This is something I never thought about with surrogacy.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: I will be getting pregnant soon, and I want to treat my contracted pelvis condition before getting pregnant, to avoid the dangers of dystocia. It got contracted while doing a series of seated bent leg poses, and I know my pelvis can open up again. Any advice on how to proceed?
— Pascha
A: In response to the reader who was concerned about her contracted pelvis during pregnancy and labor—try chiropractic! Specific chiropractic adjustments can help relieve imbalances in the pelvis, which removes tension on the various pelvic ligaments, which in turn removes torsion from the uterus, as these ligaments connect the pelvis to the uterus. When this is accomplished, the mother's body can function more normally, and the chance of problems occurring is greatly minimized. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) has chiropractors across the world who are skilled in this technique, called the Webster Technique. It is very gentle, non-invasive, and great for the mom and the baby. Moms who utilize chiropractic during pregnancy tend to have fewer problems during labor and delivery, and their babies also enjoy multiple health benefits. You can contact the ICPA at www.icpa4kids.org for a list of certified chiropractors, and for more information on the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy.
— Jennifer L. Johnson, DC
A: I teach Pilates, sensuous movement, pole dancing (for women's empowerment) and primal labor and birth movement, as well as being an eager student of the female pelvic floor and all the things it does or can do, including Taoist pelvic floor studies and Western and European studies.
In my experience the pelvic floor becomes tense for many reasons, physical and emotional. Relaxing the pelvic floor is an idea that is full of emotional discomfort for most people because society has taught us from early on that it is vital to learn how to control and hold the pelvis tight (due to potty training, as well as sexuality and not to make any noises like gas). So, what can women do to undo all this training to be tight?
The best place is to practice on an exercise ball that is not too big. Really make sure it is for your height. It should also be very full. The full ball will push up into the pelvic floor when you sit on it; this makes a closed kinetic chain so that you can feel what's happening to your pelvic floor. Three exercises follow to get the bones of the pelvic floor moving more fluidly and easily.
— Meli Macourek
Q: Women being discharged from hospital receive almost universal postpartum instructions to avoid tub baths. I suspect that long ago some OB thought this sounded reasonable and it was repeated from generation to generation till it became etched in stone ("common" sense??).
I rather think this is hogwash but have no evidence one way or the other. Apart from the studies cited about women in labor with ruptured membranes NOT having increased infections caused by tub baths in labor, does anyone know of any evidence supporting or discrediting the theory that bath water gets up into the vagina (postpartum or otherwise)?
— Susan Robinson
A: You are right, not advising women to have baths postpartum is complete rubbish. I don't know of any research around this, but then again many of these obstetric myths don't seem to worry about evidence. In the UK midwives often encourage women to have baths, especially if they have sutures to the perineum, as a warm bath with a few drops of lavender oil added can be soothing and help to ease the "picking" sensation felt as part of the healing process.
— Alison, Midwife
A: I'm not sure what area of the country you're having this experience in, but in Minnesota, where I've practiced in many different hospitals as both an RN and a CNM, we not only recommend tub baths postpartum, we often will make them a prescription two to three times daily for sore bottoms, to improve healing. Women often get into the tub as early as the day of delivery if they like.
The only situation where we discourage tub baths postpartum is after cesarean section—women can shower as early as the day after, but they're advised to wait at least a week or two (I don't remember exactly how long at the moment) to sit in a tub in order to prevent abdominal wound infection.
— Patty, CNM
Editor's Note: Thank you to all readers who responded to this question. We received a number of article references in support of tub baths after birth. Anyone who is interested in these specific references can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Think about It
According to a telephone survey of nearly 12,000 families, women who never graduated high school are more likely to have their children vaccinated than women who graduated college. The National Immunization Survey showed that children of less-educated mothers were 16 percent more likely to have up-to-date vaccinations. To learn about more of the results, see www.cdc.gov/nis/.
This was written in response to a question in Midwifery Today E-News 8:9:
I am a sufferer of Morphea. I have had three pregnancies, the first ending in an early miscarriage not related to my condition. The second pregnancy resulted in the wonderful outcome of a 9 lb 9 oz baby boy, perfect in every way and going to 41 weeks. Currently I am 37 weeks 5 days with my third pregnancy. I am not and was not followed by a perinatologist; neither of my two different teams of obstetrician/gynecologists thought it was necessary.
The first pregnancy that went to term was the one time since being diagnosed at 18 that I have felt so well. Unfortunately, I did have skin flare-ups, but the associated rheumatoid arthritis pain I usually suffer was nonexistent. With the current pregnancy I am again experiencing skin flare-ups, but the pain is much worse. As far as the need for specialist care, there has been no concern. The only concern my obstetrician and I have had is the effect a c-section on my condition.
Please let your patient know that I have had two successful pregnancies while suffering Morphea and had only the "normal" pregnancy problems. One more thing I would like to pass on is that the recovery from birth takes much longer to heal, just like any other "injury." Good Luck.

This clear glass oil lamp has been in my collection long before it actually became my collection. There are no marks on it and I have no idea who the maker is, how old it is or if there is a pattern name (since it's pretty much smooth).
Like the green glass oil lamp I posted earlier, I beleive my Mom told me my Grandparents or Great Grandparents actually used this oil lamp to light their home, but cannot verify this due to the lack of documentation and mark.
I am asking that the Collectors of this site who might have any information no matter how limited or in depth please share your expertise with me in helping get this piece identified so I can document it in a history of my collection book I'm making to pass on to my child when the time comes. I thank you all in advance for any help and assistance you might be able to provide.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk Archive' started by alphajoker, Nov 18, 2007.
Welcome back AJ!
Home field or not I was a bit surprised to see us favored by -1.5 since the Aint's seem to have returned to the high powered passing game they had last year.
"On Any Given Sunday", let's do it Texans!!!!!!!
Both teams have ?s in the secondary . I expect a high scoring game!
No HD today, bummer!
Watching the little green dots from our laptop, live from Cozumel!!
Saints inactive list:
WR Robert Meachem, DB Jay Bellamy, CB Usama Young, LB Matt McCoy, G Andy Alleman, DT Brian Young, T Jammal Brown, DE Charles Grant.
Texans inactive list:
QB Craig Nall (3rd QB), DB Jamar Fletcher, RB Ahman Green, LB Shantee Orr, G Kasey Studdard, T Jordan Black, OT Brandon Frye, TE Jeb Putzier.
Having Brown and Grant inactive for the Saints should help out a lot.
I'm ready.
NO's d-line is decimated.. im going to say it now- schaub is going to put up big numbers (knock on wood)
btw il let you know how how the jags are doing v SD
Sure is nice of them to mention Johnson, finally.
Nice start...
Is it just me or does OD have fumbeling issues this year?
I have a bad feeling about this chalange
It was not a fumble - should be overturned...
He has had a lot of issues this year. I have seen him drop some very catchable passes this year.
its not you thats his 3rd or 4th (not counting drops)
So the play was upheld?

Playoff implications weigh heavily in game on NFL Week 16's schedule, none bigger than the Cincinnati Bengals vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Bengals win, they would clinch a playoff berth — and the rest of the AFC would breathe a little easier knowing the Steelers are out of the playoffs.
The Bengals have a chance to shed their Bungles label by getting into the postseason for the second consecutive year, which would be a first under coach Marvin Lewis. Who better than the big, bad Steelers to provide a test for the Bengals?
A look at Week 16's games. All times are ET; all games are Sunday unless otherwise noted.
AFC Game/Upset of the Week
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (1 p.m., CBS). Both teams' offenses have been interesting to watch, through a mixture of big plays and dysfunction. Mental mistakes have kept Cincinnati from tapping into the great potential in the second season of quarterback Andy Dalton, wide receiver A.J. Green and coordinator Jay Gruden. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has had a drama all season with QB Ben Roethlisberger and coordinator Todd Haley at odds over a new scheme.
For the Bengals to halt their five-game losing streak in the series, they must realize they are stronger in two important areas — the running game and the pass rush. When you look at most defensive statistics, the Steelers are better than everyone, but they aren't much ahead of the Bengals. The Bengals, however, lead the league in sacks and have the power ground game with BenJarvus Green-Ellis that the Steelers can't always establish with their backs.
This is a chance for Cincinnati to stop being bullied and use its physical play up front to do some bullying of its own.
A victory not only locks up a playoff berth but could give the Bengals a chance to play for the division title at home next week against their other AFC North nemesis, the Baltimore Ravens. For that to happen, the Ravens must lose to the New York Giants this week. The Bengals played poorly in Week 7 against the Steelers and lost 24-17.
It's all there for the taking, and for a change we will trust them to go out and take it. Prediction: Bengals 23, Steelers 20

NFC Game of the Week
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (8:20 p.m., NBC). The 49ers won the first matchup in San Francisco 13-6 in Week 7. Since then, both teams have found a much better groove at quarterback, with Colin Kaepernick starting for the 49ers and Russell Wilson improving for the Seahawks.
Although there will be a little more passing success in the rematch, the run defenses, pass rushing and overall physical play will make this a slugfest. Body blows will be traded, cooling off the two smoking young quarterback a bit. This comes down to coaching and will, and Jim Harbaugh does not like to lose to Pete Carroll. Advantage, San Francisco. Prediction: 49ers 20, Seahawks 17
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Desperation Game of the Week
New York Giants at Baltimore Ravens (4:25 p.m., FOX). Both teams are having unfamiliar struggles, with sluggish offenses, defenses not making enough plays and injuries. Baltimore has clinched a playoff berth, but the Giants must win out to get back into the field. That would make the Giants a tad more desperate because the Ravens can lock up the No. 4 seed and AFC North title against the Bengals in Week 17.
Expect a low-scoring game decided by one or two playmakers. The Ravens continue to not feed Ray Rice enough and likely will be without top speed receiver Torrey Smith (concussion). Eli Manning has a little more pop around him than Joe Flacco does. Sparked by rookie back David Wilson, the Giants will steal a tight one late. Prediction: Giants 19, Ravens 16
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Pursuit of the Week
Minnesota Vikings at Houston Texans (1 p.m., CBS). The Vikings hold the NFC's No. 6 seed and will look to keep riding Adrian Peterson, who needs 294 yards to break the NFL's season rushing record of 2,105. But there's another chase to watch: Texans defensive end J.J. Watt needs 3½ sacks to break that season mark of 22½. Peterson and Watt should meet often at the line of scrimmage, but eventually the Texans will force Vikings QB Christian Ponder to beat them.
While Peterson should get a good chunk to move closer to Eric Dickerson's record, Watt will rattle Ponder and help give the Texans a win that locks up home-field advantage for the playoffs. Prediction: Texans 34, Vikings 15
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Lock of the Week
New England Patriots at Jacksonville Jaguars (1 p.m., CBS). So far, the reunion tour of former Dolphins QB Chad Henne through the AFC East produced three bad losses. Now Henne faces the division's best team. After last week's disappointing home loss to the 49ers, the Patriots will take out their frustrations on the Jaguars. Prediction: Patriots 54, Jaguars 17
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Rest of the Week
Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions (Saturday, 8:30 p.m., ESPN). The Falcons earned plenty of respect this season, and one more win will ensure them of staying home for the NFC playoffs, where their defense plays best. The Lions have lost six consecutive games, so this prime-time matchup will be about getting wide receiver Calvin Johnson — in his return to the city where he starred at Georgia Tech — closer to a yardage record. Expect Matthew Stafford to throw to him often while trying to play catch-up against Matt Ryan. Prediction: Falcons 34, Lions 24
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins (1 p.m., CBS). The Dolphins are mathematically alive for the playoffs, but the necessary permutations are stacked against them. Still, it's impressive they have a shot at .500 in the rookie seasons of coach Joe Philbin and QB Ryan Tannehill. Reggie Bush will continue his strong work against the Bills' buffaloed defense while Miami will slow C.J. Spiller. Prediction: Dolphins 23, Bills 13
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs (1 p.m., CBS). This is a bit of a trap game for rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and the Colts, as the Chiefs have pass rushers to disrupt Indy's offensive line. The best cure for that is using rookie running back Vick Ballard to wear down the Chiefs up front. Chiefs QB Brady Quinn will have a much tougher task finding help, giving Luck the edge. Prediction: Colts 20, Chiefs 10
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys (1 p.m., FOX). The Saints' defense, rising from the frustrations of an inconsistent season, was impressive in Week 15's shutout against a good Bucs offense. The Cowboys, however, are humming, with the running of DeMarco Murray setting up big-time play from Tony Romo. With weapons to match to Drew Brees, Romo will keep Dallas ahead and help Jason Garrett make sure Sean Payton stays in New Orleans in 2013. Prediction: Cowboys 34, Saints 27
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
Oakland Raiders at Carolina Panthers (1 p.m., CBS). Cam Newton has had an excellent surge to finish his second season, and the Panthers' defense has come on behind the front seven. Those elements, plus seven close defeats and wins over New Orleans and Atlanta, should make them confident they can contend next season. The Panthers will leave the Silver and Black black and blue. Prediction: Panthers 30, Raiders 10
— Preview video | Fantasy Source matchup | Linemakers
St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1 p.m., FOX). Both teams' defenses have seen great improvements with new coaches Jeff Fisher (Rams) and Greg Schiano (Bucs). While Fisher made his pass defense strong, Schiano delivered a stingy run defense. So this game will be all about Rams QB Sam Bradford and Bucs RB Doug Martin exploiting weaknesses. Trust the dynamic rookie runner more than the third-year passer. Prediction: Buccaneers 27, Rams 24

San Diego Chargers at New York Jets (1 p.m., CBS). Thankfully, this game was flexed out of prime time. Both teams are plagued by injuries and ugly mistakes. QB Greg McElroy must make plays in his first start with the Jets because they won't be able to run well. Meanwhile, Philip Rivers has seen his backfield, receiving corps and offensive line crumble. Considering all the issues on both offenses, there's a good chance all the points will be set up by defense and special teams. Prediction: Jets 12, Chargers 9

Tennessee Titans at Green Bay Packers (1 p.m., FOX). The Titans go from defending the Jets' Mark Sanchez to the Packers' Aaron Rodgers. That is a startling contrast for a pass defense that struggles to cover wide receivers and tight ends. Rodgers' quiver is full of options, and he should hit the bull's-eye all afternoon as Green Bay keeps up the playoff momentum. Prediction: Packers 45, Titans 14

Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles (1 p.m., FOX). Here we go again. Robert Griffin III has a better chance to start than last week, but if he can't, the Redskins will believe in fellow rookie Kirk Cousins. Both defenses made adjustments to perform better of late, so a duel between Washington's young passer and Eagles rookie Nick Foles might not yield a lot of points. Prediction: Redskins 23, Eagles 20

Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos (4:05 p.m., CBS). The Browns have promising parts in their young offense. The Broncos had that profile last season, and the addition of quarterback Peyton Manning put them into overdrive. The Broncos must keep winning to make sure they get a playoff bye, and Manning will keep them focused and sharp while the defense keeps rolling. Prediction: Broncos 33, Browns 14

Chicago Bears at Arizona Cardinals (4:25 p.m., FOX). The Bears can't afford any more slipups, and winning out might not be enough to salvage a wild-card playoff berth. This could be a trap, given the Cardinals excel on defense and their aggressive blitz schemes will show Jay Cutler no mercy. The problem is, the Cardinals' mistake-prone offense plays right into the hands of Chicago's opportunistic defense. Prediction: Bears 20, Cardinals 19

DETROIT - A concerned mother Tuesday night on Local 4 was frustrated that a drug raid was conducted at a house in Detroit in full view of her son and the rest of the Pasteur Elementary children on the playground.
Story: Gunfire erupts during police raid across from Detroit school
A neighbor, who wishes to be named Timothy in this story, heard the shots and said the school did a good job of protecting the children.
"The people that were out here did a pretty good job of corralling the kids in a calm fashion to pull them back and begin to take them in. I do credit them with that," he said.
Detroit police were shooting near the side door of the home. Aggressive dogs were going after them. The dogs died.
Detroit Public Schools said it followed its emergency program and sent home a note to parents. The district released this statement:
"The safety and security of our students and staff is one of our top priorities at Detroit Public Schools. When any incident occurs, we follow our safety protocols to ensure that no harm comes to those in our charge. While the school was given no prior warning of this event, the school promptly followed safety protocols, subsequently notified parents as quickly as possible of the incident and followed up with a crisis team. The only injury reported was one scraped knee."
However, this has new Detroit Police Chief James Craig taking a second look.
"I'm concerned. That shouldn't happen. Certainly I've taken a look at that. I'm not at all pleased with what I heard, and candidly, it was associated with a drug raid and while we ended up seizing large amounts of narcotics, we certainly shot two dogs that tried to attack the officers as they made entry," said Chief Craig.
It's a quandary that the raid turned up what police were looking for, however:
"We seized weapons and narcotics, but certainly we can never forget about the safety in our community, and certainly with a school being right across the street, that concerns me. So, we had put in place, prior to this event, something I call a matrix in looking at how we make assessments on locations being served by warrants, we make assessments on whether or not it should be a service completed by our SRT," said Craig.
Chief Craig is finding out the problems his officers face daily are unique. However, knowing how to deal with that fact is challenging. They will be taking a second look at this problem.

Relient K Tickets
Whether you consider them pop punk, alternative rock or Christian rock, Relient K has made a significant impact on the mainstream scene. Relient K began as a trio with Canton, OH residents Matt Theissen, Brian Puttman and Matt Hoopes in 1998. The first demo caught the attention of Toby Mac's Toby McHeehan who signed them to his label Gotee Records. After the release of their first eponymous album and a Relient K tour, Relient K experienced a dramatic lineup change. Relient K was characterized by heavy Christian influences and pop references, and Relient K tickets flew into the hands of adoring fans.
Relient K's second studio album, The Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek was released in 2001 and showcased the lighter side of Relient K. Relient K tickets were so hot that Relient K garnered the attention of clothing and movie execs landing them a track on the Veggie Tales soundtrack. Two years later, Relient K would be nominated for a Grammy in the Best Rock Gospel Album category for Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do, which was released in 2003. Markedly faster-paced than their last album, Two Lefts brought Relient K ticket holders from all four corners to see Relient K live.
Since the release of Two Lefts, Relient K has released 2 studio albums - Mmhmm(2004) and five Score and Seven Years Ago(2007) and a double EP - The Bird and the Bee Sides(2008) with an album in the works for late 2009. Delving away from the playful pop punk of yore and into hardcore punk and piano rock sounds, Relient K has aged gracefully and in a short period of time. During the nearly dozen years that Relient K has been around, Relient K tickets have sold out for their two years at Vans Warped Tour the Nintendo Fusion tour featuring Hawthorne Heights and all headlining Relient K tours. Finally, Relient K is coming to a town near you on the Relient K tour 2009. If you like the sounds of Matt Thiessen tearing up the mic, buy Relient K tickets now!

Benvenuto! Bienvenue! Welcome!
Salut, and welcome to UrbanTravelGirl, a blog featuring my thoughts on black women living globally through international travel. I'm a passionate believer in the ability of travel to not only transform the way we see the world, but ourselves. As an African-American woman, I've developed an even stronger sense of who I am by visiting nearly 35 countries and territories — and by living outside the United States. I spent nearly one year working as a freelance writer in Florence, Italy and in 2012 lived in the charming French village of Samois-sur-Seine, an hour south of Paris. I don't believe in letting other folks define ME — and you shouldn't, either!
I hope to spark conversation among African-American women who love (or WANT) to travel abroad, who are never happier than when we're in new and challenging foreign environments. I want to hear your comments about my trips – and I want to hear about yours. Wondering whether it's cool to travel solo to Paris, or how you'd be received as a black woman in Rome? Put it out here and we UrbanTravelGirls will jump in and give you the scoop. Looking for some fab, locals-only restaurants and boutiquesin Florence, Barcelona or Buenos Aires? I'll dish about it and hope other chicas visiting here will also share.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there, hit the road, discover your own global bliss — and let's chat about it!

After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
I keep getting hives and welts. We are narrowing down possible food allergies. Has anyone else had any experience with hives ?
Just curious if they are more common with CC patients.
Are you on any chemotherapy or targeted agents? Or any medications including over the counter remedies ?
God bless.
Hi Lisa,
Sorry I'm not much help but want to wish you luck in getting to the bottom of the hives. My daughter developed a strawberry allergy about age 13. My sister developed shellfish allergy in her teens. I know Pam's daughter Lauren had a bad run to a chemo agent but I didn't think you were taking any lately.
This is just a stN in ghe dark but Have you changed laundry detergent or used bleach without rinsing well? Even regular laundry det can be irritating. New low water machines don't always rinse well so I use the extra rinse cycle. Also, many in my profession develop latex allergy but teaser things csuse more of a contact dermatitis , not hives. Take Care!
Hi Lisa,
Lauren gets hives from medical tape, chlorhexadene, tegaderm, amoxicillin, keflex and she even got them from oxaliplatin. Thanks for remembering that, Willow!! I don't know if chemo or cancer made her more susceptible to hives, but she did get hives as a child from red dye and she always swells up a lot from any bug bite. Whe she has her surgery, they already ordered an antibiotic to give her during surgery because she has so many weird allergies. I know you have allergies to dogs. Have you been around any or maybe not over the hives you had since last being around a dog. Sometimes they keep popping back up even when you think they should be gone. Have you eaten any seafood lately? I know many are allergic to shellfish. I would write down everything you eat and try to determine if any food is causing them. Hope you find the culprit!
Love you,
Lisa...I found this. Not sure if it is help to you, but thought to post it anyway.

Radiation treatment can also be a reason to cause acute or delayed type of hives, angioedema and welts hypersensitive reaction.
God bless.
Thank you all for your information. I am not currently on chemo. I had steriotactic radiation in January. The only medications I take is
Ativan as needed and Prilosec. I am allergic to pets. Today I am covered from head to toe in large welts and hives that have connected together. I am miserable. I am keeping a food diary and some foods that may be causing them could be chocolate, tomatoes, and dairy. I started my third round of steroids today...hopefully this will help till I can get into an allergist.
Lisa....oh my, how strange. Is it itchy also?
The medical term for radiation treatment hypersensitative skin reaction is called " radiation recall dermatitis " RRD in short.
If the radiation involved an IV chemotherapy,ie: 5 FU then the RRD will appear early ( minutes to 14 days) and usually last for a couple of weeks. But if the chemo sensitized agent is by mouth ie: capecitabine , then will have a longer lag period( a few days to two months) and may last for months---uptodate.com
BTW RRD may also related to the radiation dose patient received enough to trigger the RRD to occur.
Another reaction is called " radiation enhancement" by which the hypersensitity SIDE EFFECTS resembles RRD. It can be localized or extend beyond the irradiated field.
God bless.
Percy and Marion,
Thank you both so much. I see an allergist on Monday and I have scans on Tuesday to see if radiation worked on current liver tumor....I also see oncologist, radiologist and liver surgeon. I think I should have my own wing at The Cleveland Clinic......they are a wonderful medical facility. Well keep you posted.
The allergist did some skin testing but it just showed that I have a high hystemine level. My oncologist said that since I had antihistamines and steroids in me the reading would not be accurate. The allergist prescribed Zyrtec and Pepcid, which have done nothing. So they called in doxypin and hydroxyzine. The last two drugs make the hives tolerable but I am still covered in hives and welts. I am so frustrated !
Percy, I read up on your thoughts and I think you are onto to something...but what to do.
Itchy in Ohio
Lisa I am so sorry you are still suffering with the welts. Perhaps if the new Meds are helping a little they can lead to yet a better Med. I had to chuckle when you wrote that at least you should have a wing of the Cleveland Clinic. I was thinking Frequent Flyer Miles would be nice too! I hope you wake up one day and the welts are just gone!
I know you was on prednisone for a while. are you still on it? otherwise you can ask your doctor to prescribe it for you for short term use ; it may decrease your ability to fight for infection if you take prednisone for too long.
Increase dosage or add or change to another antihistamine medication by your doctor is another mean to help the situation. please ask your doctor for the above suggestion before changing meds and dosage especially most of the first generation antihistamine medications like Benadryl,Vistaril,cyproheptadine can cause drowsiness but can be more effective in providing relief for you. Second generation antihistamines like Zyrtec ,Allegra and Claritin can be used in daytime .H2 blockers like Pepcid , Zantac and Tagamet works too.
Go to Walgreens or CVS and ask the pharmacist to get you "Aveeno Oatmeal bath" product suggestion for helping your itching is another suggestion.
God bless.
Sorry to hear of the itchy hives and welts, Lisa! Percy does have some great suggestions. Hang in there and have a blessed Easter.
Update on my hives. They are still active and itchy. I have been on every combination of antihistamines possible, Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra,Benedryl, doxypin with no relief. If I am not better by tomorrow I will start on steroids again which I hate. I have had 4 medral doses of prednisone in 8 weeks and have gained 12 pounds. I've tried oatmeal baths, baking soda for itching, etc.....the itching is making me crazy! Thank you for all your suggestions..keep them coming.
wait, doesn't Gavin have some stuff that he recommends to people who have itching? I'll try and do a search to find it.
Found it! You may have already tried it or it may not apply (no pun intended ) but it's called Sarna.
Hope the itching gets better, I remember having itching and how it was driving me insane. I sat with ice packs on me all night long so I could get some sleep. during the day it didn't seem to be as much of a problem.
Good luck!
Dear Lisa, It was Teddy who first tried Sarna on here (They don't have Sarna in Europe). You can get it at CVS or Walgreens OTC but read up about it first as it is very strong. Like Randi, T also did the ice pack thing and cool showers. I feel so bad for you , don't know what else to recommend. I have been on Prednisone for 1 1/2 years now and hope you don't have to do that either. One more suggestion....talk to your Pharmacist as he is the one who told us about Sarna and later Brioshe which stopped Teddy's hiccups. As usual best of luck!
I wasn't thinking when I was talking about the trial I am on but I believe the Cleveland Clinic is one of the 3 hospitals involved. Just something to keep in the back of your mind.....
Sorry you have yet something else to worry about, and I hope the allergist can help.
Lots of love and prayers you get great results Tuesday!
Hang in there Lisa!!!
Thank you for the suggestions ......will be trying all that are applicable...I have the steroid prescription but don't want to take it again.....I really want to figure out what the cause is........
I suffer the same hives. I have since I was diagnosed with cancer.
At first it was the excessive billirueben, in my bloodstream. After the whipple, they would come on at such random times, that I too was ask if I changed laundry detergent, shampoo, ect ect.
We are now five years later, almost.
I do know that I can not eat anything with red flavoring or coloring.
Also, I stopped taking all my meds, then added them back in one at a time.
It was none of those.
Anyways, after five years, I have diagnosed myself. Bread and butter.
I don't know yet if I have developed a wheat allergy, ceilic, or gluton, or even just the yeast in the bread. I just know that I stopped eating bread, and the hives are gone.
The reason I don't think its a wheat allergy, I can eat waffles, pizza crust, pie crust, and no breakout. Not to mention, both my Grandparents were wheat farmers and I have been around it my entire life.
I have my next Dr. apt the first part of next week and will see what he suggests in the form of testing.
I hope this gives you hope and an idea or two on how to figure out what is causing yours. I wish you the best.
Thank you for your ideas. I have been reading about allergies to salicylic acid which could be a trigger for me since I love grapefruits, tomatoes, coffee and tons of fresh veggies and fruits which are all high in salicylic acid. I also read it can be an autoimmune disorder. I love my bread and pasta so I should probably try eliminating the wheat and see what happens....I'm just so miserable and itchy. Marion and Percy have given me ideas as well. I know hives wont kill me but they sure are annoying.
Thinking of you today, Lisa, and what an ordeal the hives and itching are for you. I pray they stop soon. It could well be a new (to you) food allergy. When my youngest had severe food issues they put him on lamb and white rice for three weeks and then slowly, one week at a time, added back foods. He turned out to have a problem with milk protein. Lamb and white rice are supposed to be the least offensive foods you can eat, allergy-wise. (although lamb chops are not cheap!) Keep us posted, I worry about you. xo
Hi Lisa,
Sorry you're still suffering with hives!!! I feel so bad for you. I sent you an email the other day but haven't heard back from you. Would love to talk when you get a chance or if you're feeling really uncomfortable because of the hives, just reply to my email.
Thinking of you and praying you will find some relief. You've been dealing with this far too long!!!

Endowment Funds
Endowment funds allow Andrews to offer a better education to more students. These funds directly relate to the success of the Andrews experience. There are three types of Endowment funds:
Endowed Scholarship Funds
Endowed Scholarship funds allow countless students to be a part of Andrews University every year. This type of endowment opportunity means Andrews can award scholarships that help worthy students who need financial assistance. These funds provide a valuable asset both for recruiting new students and helping current students along their course toward completing their degrees.
Endowed Chairs
Endowed Chairs are funds that allow Andrews to continue to attract, retain, and honor distinguished faculty members. These funds provide long-lasting financial stability as well as a permanent commitment to quality education. The recipients, who are chair-holders, are recognized for their personal achievements in their fields. These funds offer assurance that Andrews supports quality teaching.
Endowed Programs
Endowed Programs help to fund a specific program and allow Andrews to offer cutting-edge academics. These funds assure a quality education at Andrews.
How to Establish an Endowed Fund
The more you give, the more students will benefit. Here are a few steps to help explain the process. Please feel free to contact Dorothy Carscallen at 269.471.3124 for assistance.
- You will be given an endowed scholarship agreement to fill in the blanks as you see fit. The form is returned to the Office of Development upon completion.
- After receiving the agreement, it is typed and given to our attorney to review. Then, you are sent the completed document. Please know you have the option of re-editing it to suit your intentions. If it is acceptable, you should sign and return it to the Office of Development in a reply envelope provided for your convenience. The attorney and president will sign it.
- After the agreement is fully signed, a copy is sent to you, and a scholarship file is made for our office. The original document is kept in a fire proof vault in the Financial Records department. Also, the appropriate department or school administering the award will receive a copy.
- Only the endowment income is used for scholarship funds. The principle always stays intact. A donor may take up to five years to reach the minimum activation level. For endowed scholarships, this amount is $15,000. For endowed chairs and programs, it is $1.5 million. Once activated, the principal is invested for a year to accrue interest and the awards are made to student recipients. Monies will not be distributed until after the first year the fund is fully endowed. Donors may add to the endowment anytime and anyone is welcome to donate.
You and your family will know the great satisfaction that comes from fostering the education and development of generations of Andrews' men and women. Your gift will make a world of difference for our church and society.
