Children's Museum of Houston is 2nd best museum for families, USA Today readers say
Updated 5:35 pm, Wednesday, February 26, 2014
Playing second banana is quite alright for the Children's Museum of Houston.
The local fun and educational spot was nationally recognized by USA Today readers in its "10 best museums for families" list.
The Children's Museum of Indianapolis and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science - Albuquerque took first and third in the USA Today list.
Previously, the museum earned national accolades from the following publications.
-- "America's No. 1 Children's Museum" in 2011 by Parents Magazine
-- "Awesomely Inspiring Museums" by Family Fun Magazine
-- "Best Museums in the U.S." by Forbes
Located at 1500 Binz St., the museum serves more than 1.1. million people a year. A second location is planned in Sugar Land's former Imperial Sugar complex.

Study Shows Gluten Intolerance Without Celiac Disease

Celiac.com 02/14/2011 - In what may seem for some like an obvious finding, a team of Australian researchers has shown that people can suffer gluten intolerance without having celiac disease. Their study is published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology.
I say obvious, because many in the celiac and surrounding community have long understood and accepted the concept of gluten-intolerance as distinct from celiac disease. Surprisingly, there has been very little scientific research to establish the existence of gluten-intolerance as distinct from celiac disease. That is changing, and the recent Australian study offers some support for gluten-intolerance as distinct from celiac disease.
For their study, a team of researchers led by Peter Gibson, professor of medicine at Eastern Health Clinical School at Monash University in Australia, recruited 34 people with irritable bowel syndrome, but who were clinically proven to be free of celiac disease. All participants had previously benefited from a gluten-free diet.
The 34 volunteers were all fed bread and muffins, half of which contained gluten, half of which were gluten-free. Nearly 70 per cent of the volunteers who ate the gluten reported pain, bloating, toilet problems and extreme tiredness.
''Gluten is indeed a trigger of gut symptoms and tiredness,'' the researchers concluded. Professor Gibson said: ''These symptoms have a big impact on quality of life. But conservative medicine has not been so good at dealing with this because we haven't had any evidence.''
A number of the volunteers had sought help from alternative health practitioners, a fact that impaired recruitment of volunteers, as many of these folks had adopted a gluten-free diet without proving or disproving celiac disease via colonoscopy and biopsy.
It was important for the team to exclude celiac disease for several reasons, including the fact that although it was safe to use gluten to test people who may have an intolerance, it could harm people with celiac disease.
"If you go back on gluten while you have celiac disease - even if you only eat a few pieces of bread - you will damage your body and undo many months of healing," Professor Gibson said.
For that reason, and also to prove gluten intolerance alone was the symptom cause, the team recruited people clinically proven to be free of celiac disease, and who were already on gluten-free diets.
For those patients with irritable bowel syndrome, excluding celiac disease, who were symptomatically controlled on a gluten-free diet, the team crafted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled re-challenge trial.
Participants received either gluten or placebo in the form of two bread slices plus one muffin per day with a gluten-free diet for up to 6 weeks. The team evaluated symptoms using a visual analog scale and markers of intestinal inflammation, injury, and immune activation monitoring.
A total of 4 men and 30 women between the ages of 29–59-years old completed the study as per protocol. Overall, 56% showed human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8. Adherence to diet and supplements was very high.
Of 19 patients (68%) in the gluten-consuming group, 13 reported that symptoms were not adequately controlled compared with 6 of 15 (40%) on placebo (P=0.0001; generalized estimating equation).
On a visual analog scale, patients were significantly worse within one week of consuming gluten for overall symptoms (P=0.047), pain (P=0.016), bloating (P=0.031), satisfaction with stool consistency (P=0.024), and tiredness (P=0.001).
In no cases did gluten-consumption trigger anti-gliadin antibodies. Moreover, there where were no significant changes in fecal lactoferrin, levels of celiac antibodies, highly sensitive C-reactive protein, or intestinal permeability. There were no differences in any end point in individuals with the DQ2/DQ8 and those without.
Gibson calls the general lack of research into gluten intolerance "almost unbelievable." He plans to now investigate the prevalence of non-celiac gluten intolerance, why it occurs and whether low levels of gluten can be eaten safely.

So here we have more questions. Can our allergic community have more unknown facts about food allergies and sensitivities? There seems to be more research into foods as triggers for non-life threatening reactions. It just seems that instead of looking at the reactions, some one should be looking at the foods. Where are the food products coming from and how well regulated are they? Are the regulations in the best interest of our health too?
At least we are now seeing more GF and allergy friendly foods to help us through this uncertainty.

5 stars for the presentation by Jefferson Adams. 2 stars for the actual researchers. Why? Because anyone who has ever been on a gluten-free diet can tell the difference between regular bread and gluten-free bread, and this may influence their complaints. So, if the researchers really wanted this to be double-blind and placebo controlled, they should have given gluten in a capsule to the experimental group, and an identical capsule containing something like rice flour to the control group.
This was bad experimental design!

Actually, there are GF breads which are very similar to French bread, and GF muffins which are essentially indistinguishable from regular ones. Perhaps they made the regular muffins and bread more similar to the GF controls. We'd have to read the whole article to find out.

Here is my concern. I have no idea which I am - celiac or gluten intolerant. For 7 months I suffered with stomach issues and lost 20 pounds. A GI doctor tested me for everything BUT celiac. I lived on noodle soup and crackers and was often violently ill. After my sister suggested I try a gluten free diet (which I had never heard of 10 years ago), I did so and became well immediately. When I attempted to see a celiac specialist, I had to wait 2 months. I was told to continue the diet until I saw the specialist. Once I saw the specialist, he told me that I had return to a gluten diet to accurately diagnose me. I told him to dig a hole and throw me in as I would not touch gluten. He then charted me as "celiac" but I truly don't know. I think the medical world in America still has a long way to go in researching possible treatment/antidote for celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

I am gluten intolerant and because I do not get sick after ingesting gluten, it makes it easier for me to cheat. I can stay GF only so long and my craving for a good sandwich just takes over.It would be very nice to know that cheating occasionally isn't doing the same damage as if I were a true celiac. I agree with Hallie's comment. So far there is no GF bread or muffin that tastes the same as that made from wheat. I would agree that a pill would have been the way to go. But keep on trying with the research. I have hope that there will be something like Lactaid for milk intolerance.

I can so identify with this. At this point, I'm still waiting for results of the biopsy. But an EGD showed flattening of the duodenum, which had never shown up before. I didn't even know what it meant. I have no typical celiac symptoms. In fact, I am overweight. I don't notice any ill effects from ingesting gluten. And I am a carb/bread lover from way back. Oddly enough, my brother was just diagnosed with severe celiac. He had been untreated for years, and was very ill; it was thought he had cancer. He's doing worlds better now; he is extremely cautious after having a bad reaction that left him sick for more than a week. Seems I read somewhere they are working on developing a vaccine for celiac. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
No doubt there will be a laundry list of other foods to avoid coming after they do blood testing. And every GF bread I've tried is yuck. I thought the same thing when I read about that study. I can always tell a GF product. It doesn't help that they douse a lot of the baked goods with sugar to disguise the taste. Eating GF doesn't mean eating healthy.

Interesting article.
I call myself gluten intolerant though have never had an 'official' diagnosis. I tried gluten free diet three years ago, upon recommendation from my internist , as a help for peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I never tested for gluten intolerance. However, about two years after adopting the gluten free diet, I did have the test for HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 and found I was negative for being celiac. It was important to me to know because I have children and grand children.
Last summer when I was not settling in to sleep because I felt like a supplement I had taken was 'stuck in my throat', I got up and ate one piece of toast from loaf of bread that was labeled "flourless." I found out the next day that it contained wheat sprouts instead of the usual flour. After eating it, I returned to bed and fell asleep. About a half to one hour after consuming the bread, I awoke very nauseated and ended up spending the next half hour or so hanging over the toilet as I vomited up everything in my stomach. I have no real explanation for this, but decided it proved that I am definitely gluten intolerant. I now read labels more thoroughly.
The flourless bread was shelved with gluten free breads at the store and thus I did not questions it as I should have. This incident happened in the night and I was not the least sick when went to bed that night, nor was I when I got up the next morning.
By the way, I no longer have any burning in my feet and not much parastheia either. I am committed to staying on a gluten free diet.

Am I understanding that if you are gluten intolerant, without celiac disease, there would be no antibodies present (in blood, stool or otherwise)?
Also, agree with Hallie. Even people who have never been on gluten free diets would realize that gluten free bread is different. Those sausages with wheat fillers would have done the trick!

I am glad someone is at last taking this subject seriously. My four year old grandson has been tested for celiac disease but it was confirmed that he did not have it. However, we (his family) know that if he eats gluten products he becomes twitchy (really mild spasms); especially in his sleep, his intestines grumble really badly, he becomes more hyperactive and naughty and when he drinks milk it hurts his stomach. If, however, we maintain his gluten-free diet, he is calm, not at all twitchy, you never hear his stomach grumble and when he drinks milk, he is fine. It is annoying that the doctors do recognise gluten intolerance if celiac is not present. So I say well done for the research. Much more is needed, especially with children and gluten intolerance to convince the medical world.

Interesting. I have severe systematic shin splints, tumor knots behind both knees and both sides of groin area, and extreme exhaustion whenever I eat gluten. This reaction has been going on since Spring 2009. Also, I deal with IBS and have been diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever last week. I have been looking since 2009 for someone to listen to me. Thank you.

In Celiac.com's Forum Now:
I have had three different flavors of Ricola cough drops this week with no problem other than a possible sugar headache from so many of them. It could just be a sick headache though.
Hi Louie and welcome Sorry you're feeling poorly. Although some do experience it, it's more likely some cross contamination than withdrawal from gluten. You're learning the hard way that the longer you go on the diet the more sensitive your body becomes to even tiny amounts of gluten. ...
Are original or berry ricolas cough drops good to go? I didn't see the bag said anything about gluten-free and there were two ingredients that I was unsure about, the starch syrup and the Carmel flavoring.
You might want to look into relaxation techniques. Holistic Doctor. Read about the microbiome in your gut. No sugar, caffeine, nightshade veggies. Check out mind and body healing. Maybe you are allergic to the banding material? Is the band in your body for a while? If it was, that may be wha...
Do not eat corn. Take a good omega 3- Goat milk, yogurt, keifer is extremely good for you. Bone broth with 100% grass fed beef. Bison is very nutritious and tastes great. Northstar Bison sells 100% grass fed and finished bison. A little spendy, but well worth it. Wishing you all the best

well I still think we could start off by composing a single message that everyone could post/send once telling square who we are, what we are looking for and the fact that the game has lots of seriously dedicated fans. This way it would look a lot better than if they suddenly receive a 100000 spam messages on every channell saying "SE YOU FU**ERS RELEASE THE GAME ALREADY" ect.
I don't think it looks good and if I would manage that company I would never give in to those demands because of the message it would send out: Spam us for information you raging fanboys.
Just my own opinion.

I have one big problem.
All you have to do is find an article dealing about anything in regards to Final Fantasy, and post something in the comments section.
It can be as simple as: "Could you please release some info about Versus now?" or "I would rather get a localized Type-0"
Just make sure to give the point, and mention the project

Why does the spam message have to be an insult? We want them to (and said this clearly) to be polite messages, not trollish retarded ones.

Another question. . . Will Wada be able to read our twitter posts? Can he speak English, or can he use google translator, or what? Just curious about that one :/
I'll make a big enough ruckus for everyone.
yeah well if everyone keeps it that way then I guess it would work :)
I don't want to be mr negative, but when reading the post the first time it just sounded like a mass spam attack on all Square channells (which it still does to some degree). But if everyone can keep a polite tone and be serious about it then it could work.
It was good of you to make a facebook post so that everyone understands that this is about being polite and asking for something in great numbers and not a spam hate-fest against SE.
Ramin1989 posted...

Thank you for seeing it that way. But I can assure you that there will be people who will either ignore that, or not notice it. To iterate, allow me to post a comment we got on tumblr which I think got the gist of it pretty well:
"I'm gonna help, both because I want the info but also that I wanna make up for all the douchebagposts that's gonna be..."
Of course, I hope that this won't be true.

If your uncomfortable about doing it you don't have to participate, but it would be nice. :)
Operation Rainfall was ignored by Nintendo of America for weeks until try started tweeting and messaging Nintendo. That evolved into calls. Then letters. Eventually mainstream media caught on an Nintendo was pressured to do something about it. That's why Operation Rainfall worked. They were aggressive and pushed for their games but they were polite about it. That's the difference between a successful operation and failing operation. It's a fine line.
As you can see there are a lot of supporters who promote "aggressive" actions and a lot of supporters who likes to keep it "peaceful". And people are not very clear about that as well. It puts us on a really difficult edge. All we admins could do is to come up with a compromise. Since our site is delayed and our activity (seen from insights) has gradually slowed down, we tried to think of a plan. So we came up with this. An event to keep people interested. This event was not meant for harsh volatile complains to attack Square Enix, but rather to give Square Enix a polite call out to show a group like this exists. How are we going to reach them if we don't rise in numbers? Their headquarters receive thousands of emails and calls everyday so how would one call make a difference? Would they feel the same impact from a single letter and a customer demand over a span of time? If you feel that our numbers are too low, then let's think of this as a way to keep this campaign active. We're not here to start a war, we're here to tell other fans and Square Enix that we are serious.

After introducing the i8 and i3, BMW seems determined to take its plug-in hybrid cars to the next level. As a result, BMW managers met with Tesla Motors executives in order to discuss electric cars. The German carmaker confirmed the fact that there was a meeting on Wednesday with Tesla, but declined to make any comment.
Meanwhile, Tesla's Elon Musk also confirmed talks with other car manufacturers, including BMW. Musk said that the discussion were about how to promote electric vehicle and how to make better use of the German charging stations network. For those who don't know, Tesla operates the network of German charging stations in cooperation with rail company Deutsche Bahn.
As we said, BMW currently offers the i3, a perfect electric vehicle developed for a crowded city. The i3 uses an electric motor that delivers 170 hp (125 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft of torque). Power is delivered to the rear wheels and the BMW i3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.3 seconds, while top speed is limited at 150 km/h or 93 mph.
BMW also offers a Range Extender for the i3, that consists of a 650cc two-cylinder four-stroke petrol engine developing 34 hp. Thanks to the two-cylinder engine, range is increased from 80-100 miles (129-160 km) to 160-186 miles (257-300 km).
The BMW i8 is powered by a 1.5-liter twin-turbo petrol engine that develops 231 hp (170 kW) and 320 Nm of torque, as well as by an electric motor that generates 131 hp (96 kW) and 250 Nm of torque. With a total output of 362 hp (266 kW) and 570 Nm, the BMW i8 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, while top speed is limited at 250 km/h or 155 mph.

The Indian government has categorically told Maldives that no arbitrary or coercive measure should be taken in GMR case pending the outcome of the legal proceedings, adding that any such action would inevitably have adverse consequences for bilateral relations.
Meanwhile, the Maldives government is going ahead with its plan to take full control of Male airport after ousting India's GMR even as it reached out to Indian government with a message that it would explain its controversial move at the highest level.
With India making no secret of its displeasure over the unilateral decision to scrap the $500 million GMR project, Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdul Samad Abdullah today telephoned his Indian counterpart Salman Khurshid and told him that a detailed communication on it will be sent to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh by his President Mohammed Waheed.

PHOENIX -- As much as the World Baseball Classic can feel like a manufactured event, an instrument designed to expand the game's global marketing appeal, there are moments that suggest otherwise.
For R.A. Dickey, who will start Friday's opener for Team USA against Mexico, it's about vindication. Dickey has spent his entire career attempting to prove the skeptics wrong, and now he's hoping to finish a job another group of Americans couldn't complete during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
That team, which included Dickey, wound up with the bronze medal. Slipping on the USA jersey again, Dickey is experiencing those same feelings again. Patriotism and dashed dreams.
"I think the thing that stands out the most is coming up short," Dickey said before Thursday's workout at Chase Field. "That was one of my motivations for wanting to be a part of this experience. It was an incredible honor standing on the podium, when I bent my neck down and had them place an Olympic medal around my head. It's an experience I'll never forget.
"So in my eyes, that's what I'm playing for, a gold medal. I don't know what kind of trophy we get or pendant or ring or whatever it is, but it's a gold medal for me."
Dickey spoke of wanting to beat Cuba in '96, but Team USA didn't advance far enough to play them in the championship game. The challenge this time is melding 28 players, culled from their individual spring training sites, into a winning roster.
Team USA's best showing was in 2009, when it reached the semifinals. Japan has won both of the previous WBC titles.
"It's not about talent as much as it's about spirit, heart, desire," Dickey said. "In international tournament competition, talent doesn't always win. Over the course of 162 games, it's a little bit better of a barometer. If you've got really good talent, you're probably going to be one of the playoff teams.
"But in tournament play, it's a little different. So you want guys around you who are all in."
Manager Joe Torre believes he has that with this crew, even minus first baseman Mark Teixeira, who had to be sent back to New York with a strained wrist tendon. Teixeira sought out Torre to be on this team, just as Dickey did in contacting union rep Tony Clark about pitching in. The members of Team USA insist they're not just taking part in the tournament for the exercise.
"We're here to win," Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips said. "Or at least get to the final game. I want to look good on TV."

This work aims to discuss the concepts of affected used currently by the scientific community to name those who suffer in some way with the construction of dams, reflecting and debating theoretical conceptions of the term and its variations. It is applied the most current and conceptualization in use by academic community or agencies. The affected, as a result of large hydroelectric development projects, are those who were deprived of living or working in flooded areas or close to power plant, causing territorial losses and changing the identities of these people. As a study of case, Olhos D'água settlement, located in Uberlândia-MG, Brazil, proves how affected people need to modify their livelihoods, resulted of the transformation ofcultural relations entered into before and after the arrival of hydroelectric power stations which are part of the energy complex named as Amador Aguiar.

A convicted felon was arrested Saturday and faces a capital murder charge in the slaying of a pastor at a church, Arlington police said.
Steven Lawayne Nelson, 24, was arrested at an apartment complex following a brief standoff with Arlington police, department spokeswoman Tiara Ellis Richard said.
Nelson apparently had been staying in an apartment a few blocks away from the NorthPointe Baptist Church, where the Rev. Clint Dobson was killed and his assistant was severely beaten Thursday.
It was not immediately known if Nelson, who remains jailed, had retained a lawyer.
Richard said investigators had found the assistant's car stolen from the church parking lot after the attack. She said the car was not located at the apartment complex but would not say where authorities found it, saying the release of that information could jeopardize the case.
Police continue to investigate and have not ruled out the possibility of other suspects, Richard said.
Nelson was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in October in Dallas and was sentenced to eight years of probation, according to public records. Then in November he was sent to a state facility that houses defendants who violate their parole, community or mandatory supervision conditions -- and was released less than two weeks ago, according to Texas Department of Criminal Justice records.
Meanwhile, a makeshift memorial of flowers was growing outside the doors of NorthPointe, where Sunday services were being held as scheduled.
Dobson, 28, had led the satellite church of First Baptist Church of Arlington for about three years.

I would like to add to some of the reviews - I purchased a laptop from comet in October 2010 - I paid for the complete package which included their computer service. Software needed replacing 3 times and I remain with a problem of CD/DVD drive only operating intermittently. I have been back to the shop many times and the service I received has been appalling. I have written to them and have had many telephone conversations with them. I have contacted trading standards and they have advised me on my first and now my second letter.
It is evident from the reviews here and on another consumer site that there are many complaints against Comet. Unfortunately I have not read many with a satisfactory conclusion. I personally have found them unhelpful, rude, disrespectful and unwilling to comprise. I have been informed, by trading standards, that I must now only enter into written communication with them, as this is evidence for court action.
I have put the order no as you request - for fairness - however, Comet have not been fair to me. As I returned the computer within 28 days and complained the next day, I should have had a refund. They continue to refuse to do this and they do not budge. I have offered comet the opportunity to remedy the fault, however, as time has now passed, I am beyond this offer, although they now insist there is no other way forward. They also inform me that I will have to pay for the investigation to find out the fault!!!
I can only empathise with other customers of Comet who state that they would not use comet again - I think something should be done about these organisations - I have already completed information on the Mary Portas site and of course contacted watchdog. Comet want your money but once you purchase anything, they do not want to know. That is my experience, and from the reviews I have read, I am not the only one.
One star is too much for Comet - poor Compaq - they do not stand a chance with a company as Comet.

What should I do if I've travelled on a toll road?
What should I do if I've travelled on a toll road?
You'll need an account or pass to pay for travel on CityLink. The most convenient way to pay for ongoing toll road travel is to open an account.
If you're visiting Melbourne or only need to use CityLink for a short time, you can buy a pass.
Accounts and passes can be backdated by 3 days to cover recent CityLink travel. If you don't cover the cost of your travel within this time, a toll invoice will be sent to the vehicle's registered owner. It can take up to 4 weeks after you travel for a toll invoice to be sent to the vehicle's owner.
How do CityLink accounts work?
How do CityLink accounts work?
We have a range of accounts to suit different travel needs.
Our Everyday Accounts use an electronic device called an e-TAG to calculate your tolls and charge these to your account as you travel. If you're a frequent traveller, opening an Everyday Account may help minimise fees and charges.
If you travel less frequently, you can pay as you go by opening an Access Account. Access Accounts don't use e-TAGs. Instead, we charge your tolls to your account by taking a photograph of your licence plate number as your vehicle passes through a toll point and checking it against the vehicles registered to your account. Vehicle matching fees are charged for matching your licence plate number to your Access Account.
All of our accounts let you set up automatic payments. As long as your payment details remain valid, and you've added all your vehicles to your account with their licence plate numbers, you're covered for travel on CityLink and EastLink.
Are you a taxi driver or business owner? Consider opening a Business Account or Taxi Account.
Need help choosing an account or pass that's right for you? Try our easy-to-use help me choose tool.
What should I do if my e-TAG doesn't beep?
What should I do if my e-TAG doesn't beep?
Your e-TAG should beep every time it passes through a toll point. If it doesn't do this, it may have a flat battery or be faulty or incorrectly installed.
You can check whether your e-TAG is correctly installed by referring to our installation guides.
If you think your e-TAG has a flat battery or is faulty, you should order a replacement as soon as you can to avoid being charged a no tag in vehicle fee or vehicle matching fee when you travel.
Why have I received a toll invoice?
Why have I received a toll invoice?
If you travel on a toll road without a valid account or pass, a toll invoice will be sent to the vehicle's owner.
If you already have a CityLink account, you may receive a toll invoice if:
- you are driving a car that has not been added to your account
- your account has been suspended
If you think your account has been suspended, you can check by logging in.
Toll invoices are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle. If you weren't driving the car at the time of travel, you can nominate another driver.

Part three:
The boys POV:
These girls are really something special.
"Hey Tom I think these girls are keepers!" Jay whispered on the sly
"HAHAHAHAHA I agree!" Tom said rather loud.
"agree to what?" Roni asked.
Tom chuckles and says oh nothing babe. These girls treat us normal and aren't looking at us cause were famous! The times that happens are far and few between!
Alex Pov:
Oh my were getting along so well! I think they actually like us! We have sat here for 3 hours just talking! I even forgot to drink my tea! Suddenly my phone goes off. I got a text from an unknown number. What I read made me go as pale as a ghost and everyone noticed. The text said: "I know where you are and I'm coming for you." Breanna instantly knew something was wrong because she asked "what's happened Alex?!" as she rushed to my side. All I could get out is "he's coming......he's found us Bre he's found us!" she knew what I was talking about and so did all the other girls. The moment we had been dreading the past year had finally came. He was coming and I guarantee he wouldn't leave us alive this time.
*I had to throw a cliff in there;) I know it's short but I had to stop it at the cliffhanger I had to! Feedback:)?*

November blows over us in beautiful death, the swan song of creation before it withers and shrivels in on its own creases and falls one by one to the icy ground. The last harvest before death sucks the final cold breath from the world and the stillness of December settles and hems us in. The colors fade to grey. The crispness of the air goes flat. The birds caw their farewell and exit in silhouettes of arrows pointing to the life and warmth they will find elsewhere. And we are left in silent anticipation. Surely the cornucopia that was bursting mere days ago will be full again. Surely this frozen silence isn't going to last forever. Where life was so abundant just a few harvest sunsets prior, now desolation, isolation begins to penetrate the walls of our homes, the walls of our hearts even.
It is in that December- that brink of despair where the rug seems to have been pulled out from under us as we celebrate abundance, surrounded by last breaths that hover in the air, that Christmas chimes in and hastens us to listen to its song.
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland". Isaiah 43:19
Oh, the gospel of Christmas. A new thing. New beginnings-wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger. As the sun sets on abundance, as hope flickers like a candle-flame threatened by the breath of death, God is doing something new. If the month leading up to Christmas doesn't resemble a wasteland around here, than the month following Christmas certainly does. The new thing doesn't stop here. It doesn't end when we pack away the decorations and the last Christmas cookie is eaten. God is in the business of making things new, turning darkness into light and death into life. He comes to us in our Novembers and Decembers and makes them burst forth with new life. And while I brim over with joy at Christmastime: the idea of the newness of the God-child,the same hands that made the universe in its splendid entirety held by the very human hands He knit together, the Comforter and Sustainer of the world clutching for comfort and sustenance at the breast of a new mother; the joy that has been planted within me starts to germinate and grow after Christmas. In the most desolate time of the calendar year. In the midst of the winter. And yet more beauty: this hope isn't only for Christmas Day. It isn't only for December. The hope that came new into the world, the tidings of comfort and joy, are enough for a lifetime. Enough to carry us through any struggle, to nourish and sustain us through any winter. That is the hope of "God with us", the new work of God. The labor of love and piercing through frozen ground and hearts to bud and bloom.
Let it be so with me, Lord. In the desolation of my soul, in the ugliness of my bent, in the grief, the sin, the withering of the harvest, the flickering of hope-do something new. Make a way in the wilderness. Bring streams to the wasteland of my being. Just as you brought tender and triumphant life at the first Christmas, bring that same humble and honorable life to me in the midst of my winter. Not only at Christmas, but just as the hope you sent into world grew along with Jesus, may it grow inside of me, with eager anticipation of the new things you have in store for my soul.
Emmanuel. God with us. Hope came down. Noel.
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on them. See, I am doing a new thing! Now, it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland…I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise." Isaiah 43:18-21

Steve Mitchellwrote a review of Poler Rucksack on July 11, 2014
Give it a chance
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this pack for some international travel and had problems with the zipper from the get go. I sent an email to Poler's customer service and they shipped me a new pack, no questions asked. It seems to be holding up great and I don't have any complaints with it. The bag itself is pretty spacious and the fabric is fairly heavy duty. I give it 4 stars just for the initial problems I had with it.

Kansas freshman wing Andrew Wiggins has received the majority of the attention regarding the 2014 NBA draft, and that may be putting it lightly. Virtually every mock draft you find online has him projected to be the top pick.
But with more and more people starting to talk up Kentucky freshman power forward Julius Randle -- heck, our own Jeff Goodman even went out on a limb and wrote that he'd take Randle at No. 1 ahead of Wiggins -- it's worth analyzing where the big man could end up if he declares for the 2014 draft. Here are five teams we feel could have the best chance of landing Randle, given their need for a power forward and the likelihood that they land a top 3 pick in the Draft Lottery.

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service has launched a recruitment drive to boost the number of retained firefighters in the west of the county.
"Our retained firefighters play an integral role in the life-saving work of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, helping us to provide first class emergency response cover for our residents."
Ian Pullen - Retained Support Officer for the east of the county
Part-time crew members are being sought at Uttoxeter and Barton-under-Needwood stations.
The retained firefighters would provide vital emergency response cover from either their home or work base, which must be within five minutes travelling time of their station. Applicants must be aged 18 or over.
More than 400 retained firefighters work within Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent and approximately 18,000 dedicated people carry out the role nationally.
They can be called upon to support their whole-time colleagues in tackling a range of incidents including fires, floods, road traffic collisions and chemical spills.
Retained firefighters can also get involved in community fire safety initiatives in their local area, including Home Fire Risk Checks and school visits.
Many part-time crew members have a full-time job outside of the Service and have an agreement with their employer that they can leave work if they are alerted to an incident. Others provide cover during nights or at weekends.
People interested in becoming a retained firefighter will need to fill in an application form, pass written literacy and numeracy tests, physical tests, an interview and a medical.
Successful applicants will take part in an initial training course and, following its completion, will attend weekly drill nights to ensure they maintain their skills.
Drill nights at Uttoxeter are from 7pm-9pm on Mondays. They take place at Barton-under-Needwood from 7pm-9pm on Thursdays.
In addition, the retained firefighters will be able to participate in a whole host of other courses which run throughout the year.
Retained Support Officer for the east of the county Ian Pullen said: "Our retained firefighters play an integral role in the life-saving work of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, helping us to provide first class emergency response cover for our residents.
"They bring a range of skills, expertise and experience which is utilised and built on through being a part of the Service. I would encourage enthusiastic, dedicated people to submit an application form as soon as possible."
Email Ian Pullen on firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01785 898504/07971893280 for more information on how to apply for a position. The closing date for applications is September 8 2014.

Why has Jessica Lee become the fourth female MP from the 2010 intake to quit? The Erewash MP announced yesterday that she is standing down in 2015, saying 'I have carefully considered by personal circumstances and responsibilities at this time, before taking this decision'. Friends of the popular Conservative say she is keen to return to her former job as a barrister, which is fair enough: in all walks of life people find that a career change doesn't suit them as much as they thought. But is there a deeper problem here?
Some are arguing that this is illustrative of a woman problem in the party, and indeed the Conservative benches are not exactly stuffed with female MPs. But is it also that the life of an MP isn't quite what some people expect, or are led to expect?
When backbenchers arrive in the Commons at the start of a Parliament, they share committee rooms until the offices are allocated. This means many friendship groups form between those camped in certain rooms, but it also marks the start of a chaotic time for MPs. They are not given advice on how to run a parliamentary office, and, having been promised an exciting career as a 'turbocharged' backbencher, and prospects for promotion and influence, find themselves trying to work out how to do their first job as a constituency MP with little more than the help of friendly veteran MPs to guide them. That is the case for MPs from all parties, but there is a mood amongst the new intake that being an MP hasn't turned out to be all it was cracked up to be when they decided to be a candidate all those years ago. 'I think a lot of new MPs haven't enjoyed the role as much as they had hoped,' one new intake MP remarked to me.
Perhaps more of those MPs would have enjoyed the role more if they felt properly used as backbenchers. There is still a sense that at the heart of the party there is a sizeable knot of MPs who are not confirmed Cameron haters, but neither are they the aggressively loyal Claire Perrys of the Conservative party. They are biddable, but still often left to their own devices. Attempts to keep them busy haven't worked out as well as hoped: the Number 10 policy board, for instance, seemed like a good idea, but it is becoming clear that this isn't the influential group it was sold as, and more of a conduit between backbenches and Prime Minister, which is useful in itself but still a mis-labelling. Perhaps the recent outbursts from Nadhim Zahawi and Jesse Norman's departure were a result of frustration at this discovery.
But then there's also the gruelling work of fighting in a marginal seat. Marginal Tories don't go to as many parliamentary party meetings or receptions as their colleagues with cushy majorities because they're often far busier in their constituencies trying to shore up support. Lee's majority is only 2,501, and if she wasn't much enjoying her job anyway, another exhausting fight in 2015 may have just looked like it wasn't worth it.
Now, as I said, people realising a career change was a mistake isn't unusual in any walk of life. But it does present a challenge to the Conservatives, who do want to attract and retain talented candidates with a wealth of experience in the world outside Westminster.

The aim of the meeting is to discuss how e-Science can help fight pressing societal problems such as Alzheimers Disease.
The example will be described of FP7-funded neuGRID project (www.neuGRID.eu), a user-friendly grid-based research e-Infrastructure enabling the European neuroscience community to develop markers for the disease that will be critical to the development of effective drugs.
Speakers include Director General of DG INFSO Mr. Robert Madelin, Directorate F Director Mr. Mario Campolargo, Mr Remi Quirion from the Canadian Institute of Health Research, scientific and technical partners of neuGRID and outGRID, officers from DG RESEARCH Joint Programming for Neurodegenerative Diseases and DG SANCO.
Speakers will discuss the state-of-art and the future needs of e-Infrastructures at the crossroads of research, information and communication technology, and clinical care.
Special emphasis will be devoted to the international context where e-Infrastructures need to be built and become operational.

Really, you can perform the test quite safely, by placing a primed case in a vise and then using an
cartridge, held by a pair of vise-grip pliers, as a punch. Put on some good eye protection, and just hammmmmmmer away at that thing, all day long. Take out your big 18 oz. framing hammer and bang down on that squib load's head while the bullet is centered on the primer. You know what's gonna happen? You're going to (A) probably push the bullet into the case, unless you've got a MONGO crimp on it, and (B) *flatten* out that pointy-tipped lead bullet, so that it actually
be as wide or wider than the primer pocket.
Primers detonate from sharply focused strikes driving the cup into the anvil. The primers are brass, the bullet is lead. Guess which is harder?
Rest easy. Have fun. Be safe. (Which it sounds like you intend to do. Excellent.)

I did say hello in the EQ7 thread that I created, but I don't know if you saw that and I would hate you to think that I hadn't said hello today.
How are you? Is the weather good where you are? Here it's pretty horrid for the time of year.
Still, I get to go to a small quilt display tomorrow morning and then to the larger National Quilt Championship next Saturday!

On the flip side though, from personal experience, I NEVER would have my current drive unless I had 4 cents in my pocket while being over $50,000 in debt 4 years ago. When you are disgusted with your life you can create a drive that few people on earth can replicate. With that in mind, unless you are willing to embrace some dicey situations it is better to be smart financially and take more creative risks 😉 Thanks for sharing!

NHS Grampian
Staff, patients and visitors are being asked to 'stop, gel and go' to help stamp out infections as part of a new campaign launched on the 10th September by NHS Grampian.
Eye-catching signs will be on display in all hospitals to point out alcohol hand gels and remind them of the importance of hand hygiene and the role alcohol gel can play . The alcohol hand gels are for use by staff, patients and visitors and the new signs feature a traffic light motif asking everybody to remember to 'stop, gel and go' before entering or leaving patient areas of the hospitals, such as wards or theatres.
Karen Wares, Local Health Board Co-ordinator for the National Hand Hygiene Campaign for NHS Grampian, said: "Alcohol hand gel kills about 99 per cent of germs in around 30 seconds and dries naturally on the skin. "It is very convenient for staff, patients and visitors on the move because you don't have to be next to a sink to use it and the design of the new 'stop gel and go' signs makes it stand out and acts as a regular reminder to use it."
Tommy Ovens, Public and patient involvement forum representative, said: "The fight against
infections has to be a Team effort and Visitors and Patients have a role to play by strict adherence to the STOP, GEL, GO programme. This goes some way in helping the Hospital staff fight these insidious problems".
In addition to the permanent 'Stop Gel and Go' display boards in wards and other patient areas, their will be stands at various locations in NHS Grampian during the week of the 10th September, giving advice on good hand hygiene techniques. Using a UV light box, the Infection Control Team & Health Improvement Assistants will be demonstrating how important it is to perform good hand hygiene.
John McKinnon, Infection Control Manager, states "The 'Stop Gel and Go' campaign is about promoting and highlighting the importance of good hand hygiene, which is widely recognised as the single most important factor in reducing the spread of healthcare associated infection. As an Infection Control Team, we cannot achieve this on our own so by making staff, patients and visitors aware of what they can do to help we will hopefully get across the message that infection control is everyone's business."
This campaign has been developed to further support the National Hand Hygiene Campaign. The Germs. Wash your hands of them Campaign was officially launched by the former Health Minister, Andy Kerr MSP on the 15th January 2007, and is aimed at reducing avoidable illness amongst staff, patients and the general public.

I have selected these ads for their relevance and for the quality of the products advertised (except for the above box, which is randomly generated based on a search of Amazon.com products). If you purchase one of the advertised products through the links I provide, you'll be helping to support this web site, and encouraging me to provide more material!
Help! About five years ago I saw a movie about a young man in Australia who goes to Paris to become a circus clown. If anyone knows the name of this movie, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know. It's a fabulous movie for the clown enthusiast as well as entertaining for the average viewer.
Become a member of the Clown Forum. It's a good site with a lot of activity, though everything comes out in very tiny print on my screen! Here's a link. Best of all, it's free. Communicate with helpful professional clowns.
One idea I used once was balancing a ping pong ball on my nose and inviting audience members to (try to) do the same. You put rubber cement on your rubber nose and on the ping pong ball and let it dry (it's invisible). Then put them together and it will stick, yet it's easily removable. I decorated the balls with a clown happy face and my name and phone number, so they became memorable "business cards." It worked well.
I typed in "clowning ideas" on the Google search engine and guess which page was listed first: this one! There's not all that much here, but then maybe few others are giving away clowning ideas. So for all you would-be clowns out there, here it is.
I have occasionally performed as "Dimples"; here are my ideas for routines and some reviews and highlights of books about clowning. Use the ideas freely, most are borrowed, some are original. But if you wish to publish these in any form, please contact me for permission. I welcome correspondence and links from any clowning enthusiast; I'll put the best here to share with others.
Clowning Ideas: the formatting is terrible, but the ideas are good!
Ideas for Parade: Latest addition to this site, but much duplication with other ideas here; a few new things.
A few more ideas: juggling, rabbit out of hat, practical jokes. New stuff on costume ideas added 7/28/05.
Stage routine: Notes for a stage routine, and an idea for balloon animals.
For beginners: lessons learned after my first experience in public as a clown.
Ventriloquism Routine: An original routine; I've never performed it, but you're welcome to try it. You'll need a "talking" snake, preferably in a basket.
Clown Books: Reviews and highlights; some author names missing, alas.
Charles the Clown: My review of a performance on video, which also provides some useful hints on handling groups of small children.
Trying to get a start in clowning? The easiest, quickest way I know is to read Turk Pipkin's book, which comes with a rubber nose. It has great ideas for free and make-it-yourself costumes and props, and some classic clown shtick. If you buy it through this link you'll be helping to support this web site:

Tyrany of the Two by Four
Our green building company in Brooklyn, NY, has a kindred soul in Huntsville, Texas. It is called Phoenix Commotion and is run by Dan Phillips.
I've read about him a couple times, most recently in the NY Times.
He builds for lower income people and his buildings are almost totally out of trash. Yet they are to code, structurally sound, beautiful (to me and many others), and deeply affordable.
What he is doing is both completely logical and deeply revolutionary in our illogical building environment where it has been the norm to buy off the shelf materials and throw away everything else.
He calls this the "tyranny of the two-by-four" which for me nicely encapsulates the mindset of current mainstream building, which lacks character, imagination and morals. Not to say they are dishonest, they are just amoral.
Being amoral is not an option in life. If you don't take a stand, somebody else will do it for you and there is no guarantee they are looking out for you or anyone elses best interests.
When you buy a 2×4 off the shelf you are letting somebody else define your life, from what kind of house you will build to what impact on the environment you will have.
That is why we see green building as a political act. We are defining our life in a way we feel is better for ourselves and the planet by salvaging as much as we can. And we don't care what size it is.
