  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. This thread is a little old, but there is some interesting information in here and I would like to reply. Hopefully, someone will read it! I have two identical copies of DQ1 subtype 5. I don't have the exact information in front of me. At the time of getting my genetic results, I did a lot of research on the gene site. I have gluten sensitivity, and also a sensitivity to dairy. At one time, I was also sensitive to corn, soy, and some nuts, but I have been able to add those things back in. I still avoid soy and corn, but occasionally eat some. The only dairy I allow myself now is from sheep, as I seem to tolerate the sheep cheeses the best. These are the oldest cheeses from my ancestry, which is from Italy. My main neurological condition was depression. Removing the gluten entirely seemed to help with that. I haven't been at this site much at all in the last year, but I used to post on the OMG thread for awhile. Everything was hunky dory until I got pregnant. I had the worst anxiety and depression that I have ever experienced in my life. I felt like I was living in a nightmare. I still did not eat gluten, but I had added back in dairy as my body was craving it and I had many food aversions. I did not have a happy ending with the pregnancy, unfortunately. Fast forward to about a month ago, I read an interview with Dr. William J. Walsh. He studied many prisoners and serial killers to find out if they had mental illnesses. He discovered that many of them had biochemical imbalances includine heavy metal toxicities, particularly problems with the copper/zinc ratios. One of the depressive types Dr. Walsh identified, particularly in women with post-partum depression, was high copper levels. Here is a quote from the Pfieffer Treatment Center packet of information where Dr. Walsh has done a lot of his work: I have tinnitus and I get depressed when I ovulate and when I get my period. It's usually just a day of my period, but I can be down right suicidal. I also get crazy when I take birth control pills, which I have not done much in my life. Not much is really known about prenatal depression, but those who have it usually end up with post-partum depression as well. With this information, I recently ditched my multivitamin with copper, and am having a hair analysis done for heavy metals. Reading information from Rachel on this thread gives me even more information about copper and the mercury connection. I hope to have my hair analysis results back soon. So no, just eliminating gluten with double DQ1 genes did not solve my neurological problems. However, I did find some obscure information somewhere about the links with the same HLA site as DQ1 with lupus and Sjogren's syndrome. My aunt has Sjogren's syndrome. There could be a link between DQ1 and autoimmune diseases, but I don't think there is enough research out there yet on it. I'd love to hear some feedback on this. Thanks, Claire
  3. Hi Everyone, Nice to see you are all still here! I disappeared last fall as I was about to go into my first IVF. Long story short, it didn't work out, and I'm starting on my second one next week. I have this annoying habit now of sleeping for only 5 or 6 hours, and then I can't get back to sleep, so here I am... An update on me: I stopped seeing my ART lady because I was overwhelmed with the cost and I just wasn't convinced I was seeing results. I went in for a dental cleaning last week, and who did I see behind the counter but my ART lady . She had just started working there and I guess she needed some supplemental income. The one good thing about switching dentists and having all my amalgams removed last year is that I started flossing regularly. My dentist said that this was probably more important for getting pregnant than having my amalgams removed! There is a link between periodontal disease and getting sick/miscarriage. At least my gums are happier and I haven't gotten any colds that have been more than a runny nose. I also had some toxicity testing done. We didn't bother with the heavy metals since I am going to try to get pregnant again and we don't really want to move those around right now. The toxicity testing showed I had high levels of parabens and styrenes. I write more about it on my new blog in my post "Pick Your Poison". Oh yeah, I started a blog, so you can read all about my baby making adventures over there: Super Ovum Anyways, back to the parabens. So I thought, how could I have high parabens when I buy all this "high quality" shampoo and makeup (not that I wear much of it) . Come to find, my shampoo, conditioner, liquid soaps, and makeup all have parabens . I'm really mad at Aveda now! I'm in the process of converting all my stuff over to paraben free. I also got a chlorine filter for my shower. I wish I could get a whole house filter! I had some blood testing done, and my chlorine was on the high end of the normal range. My acupuncturist told me that the chlorine vapors from the shower are more dangerous than drinking chlorinated water because the inhaled vapors go right to your bloodstream. It's so much more pleasant to have a chlorine free shower . The intestines have been mostly great. The only problems I have are when I'm taking the hormones for my IVF cycle. My acu said that taking any hormones will affect your gut, as it affects the pH levels. Good talking with you all! Donna, you look fabulous! Rachel, since starting a blog, I thought you should start one on your healing adventures! It's pretty easy to be a blogger, though I might pick a different program now, knowing what I know. Sorry to hear about your "unwelcome guests". Claire
  4. I went back and studied my latest Asyra tests. I also had something come up that I wasn't sure about. It's something that I've been tested for and I know I don't have, but it came up on this Asyra test. Eve is away this week, so I haven't contacted her about this seeming discrepancy. As a result, I'm doubting the accuracy of this Asyra scan. I'm also doubting the last scan since it was so radically different than the first one. Eve was having some problems with the program before we started with my last appointment's scan. I'm kind of upset about it, but the way I figure it is that I'm probably only good for one or two more treatments anyways right now. My priority is for the mercury treatments. Rachel, that's interesting about the Lyme. I think I will ask Eve to ART test it since, like I said above, I'm doubting that she has enough experience with the Asyra program to trust it's accuracy at this point. Apologizes for not responding with more personals as I'm skimming stuff at this point! Claire
  5. Hello All, I had my second LED treatment Friday. Eve the ART lady re-ran all my Aysra test results. She just got the machine when I first saw her about 6 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure she tested me for different things this time, like pathogens and Mercury. I watched her as she did the computer program this time, and you can check on different filters. My results this time are so different than they were last time. I'm thinking that the stuff that showed up now is more important than the stuff that showed up last time. Part of me is a little frustrated, but I also know I won't be treated for all the different things that came up for me in both Aysra tests before I try to get pregnant. The filters she searched on were: Pathogen Susceptibility, Sulfa, and Mercury. Last time she didn't screen me for the pathogens or mercury because she had already done that with ART. Now she's saying that the Aysra is probably more accurate. I didn't have any problems with the Sulfa stuff. Just wait till you hear what came up for pathogens! She usually treats for one toxin, one food, and one toxic foci each treatment. Here's what she treated me for Friday: She treated me for Phenylisothiocyante, which are indicated in gastrointestinal distress, colitis, diarrhea, cardiovascular irregularities, hypertension, and thyroid dysfunctions. Not sure exactly what this is (maybe Phenols?), but I had to avoid a bunch of foods, mostly cow milk, legume beans, and a bunch of other random stuff mostly in the mustard family (broccoli, turnips, etc). I was also treated for the parasite Urogonimus sp. , and the Mercury I group. The toxic focus I was treated for was the Sacral Ganglia. I think the hardest part of the 24 1/2 hours was drinking the gallon of water. I measured it this time, and it was a lot of water!! I didn't notice many symptoms, except for being tired, but who knows if that was from not getting enough sleep the night before? Maybe a little headache also. I finished my Harry Potter book, so it distracted me. Even though I was cleared for Fungal toxins last time, I had some fungal stuff show up, like Phomopsis , Penicillium veridicatum , and fungal based mycotoxins. I also had Pneumonia show up , and I've never had pneumonia. I also had under "Lyme Disturbance" Borrelia hispanica . It didn't show up as really strong, and was further down the list. I've always said I wouldn't be surprised if I had Lyme since I grew up on the East Coast and have had a history of tick bites being outside a lot. I'm also not going to run out and get a test for Lyme because I'm not going to do anything about it at this point. I'm more worried about the mercury right now. As we have discussed here before, Eve said that mercury hides Lyme. I'll have to wait another 2 weeks to do another LED to finish the mercury because Eve will be out of town next week. Well be doing the Mercury I, II, and III group which includes Thimerosal. I also saw my acupuncturist this week, and he said my pulses look really good. My energy is still a little high, and we don't know whats up with that. I had PPP while on vacation. The only time I had gastrointestinal problems was after eating too much coconut milk and after having two pieces of tiramasu , which I just could not resist . I talked with both my acupuncturist and Eve about DMSA chelation again. The plan for now is to continue with the chlorella and Algas also got added in. Algas some kind of seaweed. Eve also tested me on cilantro, but it didn't test well on me. She didn't have a test for DMSA, so we skipped that. Plus, I don't actually want to pull out mercury that's already stored in my body. I'm just more concerned about getting out what's mostly in circulation right now, so we'll stick with the milder forms of chelation. I don't realistically have the time to pull out the mercury that's stored elsewhere, so I actually want it to stay where it is right now. It will have to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to come out! Claire
  6. Hello All, I'm back in Colorado. I haven't posted since I returned because 1) I've been busy, 2) I got a copy of the last Harry Potter book and I'm waaaay more interested in that lately , and 3) we are being watched at work , so I gotta keep this short. I'm posting now because I won't be able to after work since I have my next LED treatment! I opened the article that Rachel sent me a link to a while back, and I was surprised to see my ART lady's picture on the article! She wrote it ! I don't know, but she's not as strict as Rachel's ART people about what to avoid afterwards. Anyhoo, I'll let you know how it turns out. Gotta go! Claire
  7. Hi Kat, Sorry to hear about your challenges lately . Sometimes it's one step forward and two steps back. I think Tom could be a support for you on this one! You are not alone ! Hmmm, fun is not quite the word I would use for the retreat . It's kinda like detox for the soul. You get to look at all these really painful issues in a supportive environment and work with them. It's like the LED or BioSET treatments where it's like peeling back layers of an onion. We work on issues that are universal to everyone, so you don't have to have some big trauma to do this kind of work. However, we have had more free time during this retreat than usual. I think it's on purpose because we're supposed to be learning how to live in the world without losing ourselves. DH and I went to Big Sur today. I never get tired of that drive down there. I decided to try a new state park to visit south of Big Sur. On the way, we saw 4 California condors!!! We were driving around a bend, and there were all these cars slowing down and people on the side of the road looking up. I said, they must see something. Just then, I looked up and saw a HUGE bird soaring. Even though I've never seen a condor in the wild, which would be pretty dang rare since there aren't many of them, I knew what it was immediately. But wouldn't you know it, we didn't see any sea otters at the Big Sur beach . I said to DH, I guess you don't get condors (an endangered species) and sea otters (a threatened species) in the same trip . As much as I love the California coast, sea otters, Monterey cypress trees, and redwood trees, my heart belongs to Colorado! I love my mountains there, the smell of the pine forests. It's weird, but redwood forests don't have any smell . Claire
  8. DH and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium yesterday. The best part about it was the sea otters. They are soooo cute!! I could have watched them all day long. They look a lot bigger when you are next to them versus looking at them in the ocean. There was some interesting information about seafood there too, and which seafood is the best to eat for both environmental and health reasons. I wanted to include this link that describes which fish have environmental contaminants and how much you can eat of them in a month. http://www.oceansalive.org/eat.cfm?subnav=healthalerts I think this is one of the best guides I've seen on which fish are contaminated with mercury and PCBs. Donna, happiness is a good massage therapist . On the birthday card DH gave me, he said "this is good for one dinner and one message". I knew he meant massage, so I thought it was hysterically funny ! He didn't realize the spelling was different . Rachel, can't wait to hear about your LED treatment. Andrea, good luck with you kids' up coming LED treatments. Carla, hope the increase in antibiotics isn't too rough on you. Hi Jin! Just saying hi cuz you always think of me . Hi Susie Q, you crazy nut you . I'm a little behind on the gossip. Anyone hear from Kay recently? I'm wondering how giving up the smokes is going? Oooh, better go to bed! Claire
  9. A quick hello from the Monterey Peninsula! The Asilomar State Beach is fantastic. The weather has been amazing this year. We are actually getting sun for a change. Remember the famous saying from Mark Twain, the coldest winter I spent was the summer in San Francisco? We've been really enjoying the sunshine! I haven't seen as many sea otters as I would like. All you Bay Area/Central Californians should really check this place out sometime. I've been pleased with my intestinal functioning since I have been here. The only time I had a problem was when I ate too much coconut milk. I had a few bites of regular birthday cake yesterday, but DH was sweet enough to get me a gluten free cake. I've been eating gluten and dairy free, and the staff at the Asilomar cafeteria have been very accomodating for my diet. Thanks Rachel and Andrea on the info on mercury and LED. I don't know if I'll get caught up, but that info from last week was really useful. I'll go in for my next LED treatment in a week! We'll see where the mercury is at that appointment. I've been taking my chlorella consistently while here. Off for my next adventure! Claire
  10. Donna, Your new avatar makes me laugh ! After all our talk about your cruise trips, I'm just gonna call you Cruising Spice now ! Claire
  11. Hi Rachel, Thanks for all that LED stuff. I missed the part about abstaining from sex . DH would not like that! I also missed about using electric toothbrushes and hair dryer . Oops. Well, I'll know better for next time. Can you provide the link to that website where you got the info? I hope I can remember which page this is on so I can come back to it. I can't print it out right now. I also didn't get from my ART lady that you can't wear metal jewerly or metal belt buckles after the treatment. I though you only had to take them off during the treatment? Actually, I can't really remember what she told me . Sheesh, that was a month ago! I can't wait for my next treatment. My ears are ringing louder again after yesterday's smoke filled adventure. I also wonder if somehow the West Nile Virus got stirred up again in all this? I rarely get colds in the summer and the one time I did, I think it was actually WNV . This one wasn't so bad though, so I guess that's a good sign. I think my ears have been ringing more because of the increased mercury in my system after my amalgam removal. I talked to my acu about testing me for DMSA. It sounded like he didn't usually test people for DMSA, which I found curious. How will you be tested for DMSA? Dr. F usually uses his electro-dermal Vega testing machine. Donna and I were talking yesterday about how scared we were to take the chemical chelators. Do you think you would take the DMSA different than how it would be prescribed for normal mercury chelation? I'm curious about how all this works. Plus part of me would like to speed up this process of moving the mercury out of my system. I think I need to be a little more patient . It's been less than 2 weeks since my last amalgams were removed! Hi Judy, I did a quick drive by of your photos. I love all your flowers. Nice paintings by DH! Love the nature theme! Hi Donna, I used to take HTP-5. It was great at first, then not so good . I had to stop taking it because it wasn't good for me anymore. I think you have to be really careful about the amount you take because you can take too much. I forget how it works, but I think maybe it builds up the hormones in your body. Can you get someone to test it on you to see if it's still good for you? I take my magnesium right before bed, 300 mg. My problem is getting up about an hour or two before I'm supposed to get up. It seems to have gotten better lately, and I'm not sure why. Maybe the LED treatment? If I had to be at work as early as you, I don't know that I would get enought sleep! On to my next adventure.... Claire
  12. Rachel, How do you think that works with the chelation starting after your 5th LED session? Just wondering why you wouldn't start chelation before LED and what you think the relationship is? I guess I missed the whole cooking thing after LED, but my ART lady wasn't too worried if I wasn't super strict about avoiding stuff. She said you just do the best you can. I couldn't totally avoid my cell phone after my LED treatment, but it seemed to work fine. I'll have my next one when I get back from California Our first Close Encounter of the Rachelville kind ! It is kinda strange how you get to know people on line, then you meet them in person. You know, like when you read a book and then you go see the movie, and the person isn't how you had imagined them in your head. Not in a bad way, but just different. By the way Tom, your secret is safe with me, at least for today ! Gotta make you sweat a little . I don't know how much fun we were. We were just sitting there all drinking our water, cuz we couldn't have something more exciting, ! Tom came to the rescue with his super fancy phone as Donna forgot her camera. I was waiting for him to stick his ATM card in it to get money. What else does that thing do? That was us in front of Whole Foods, the only "safe" place we could meet. I was so happy to see a WF again! I thought it would be nice to sit outside, but I was shocked how we were surrounded by smokers . That wouldn't happen in the People's Republic of Boulder . Anyhoo, it was fun connecting with Donna and Tom. Just makes it a bit more personal around here, which is nice . We can be so different yet have this common connection. Hugs were given all around ! I'm in Santa Cruz now. I took a walk down by the beach, and wouldn't you know it, but I was surrounded by more smoke! It was one big party of bonfires. I think I'll go get some redwood tree hugging action tomorrow before picking DH up. It's my duty as the Rachelville granola. If I had my camping stuff, that's what I would have done tonight and no posting here! I love redwood trees ! Claire
  13. Hey Everyone, I found a computer in the lobby of my hotel that I can work on for awhile before heading off to the airport to get my rental car. On the field trip I went on for this conference, I was pulling off the meat from the sandwiches we were given for lunch. The gal next to me said she would be doing the same thing, so we got to talking about celiac and what not. When you attend a conference like this, they ask if you are vegetarian, but no one thinks to ask if you are celiac . Since I'm not technically celiac, I didn't mind getting a few crumbs on my sandwich fillings. I got a sore throat after the field trip and I thought it might be the pollution in the area, but it ended up turning into a cold . I had froggy voice for my talk this morning . I'm so glad it's over! I'm not surprised I got a cold. After all the stress I've been under at work, not getting enough sleep, then travelling and having 3 amalgams removed a week and a half ago, it all finally came to a head, my head . It wasn't too bad. I tried to sleep as much as possible in the last couple of days. I feel slightly better today. I'd love to stay in a hotel with a kitchen when travelling. I bought a one pot burner for this trip and brought my camping pot kit . It worked out pretty good, but I think I have to be careful not to cook too smelly food. It smells kinda weird in my room now from the buffalo burgers I brought with me . Where I'm going to Asilomar, they cook the meals for us and have a great chefs who are accomodating for diets like ours. I just hope I don't drive them crazy! I've been there before, so I'm not worried about that. Shelly, I didn't catch up with you soon enough for our Rachelville rendezvous . Lisa, you do sound a little better since your last e-mail. Hope you can stall on taking the DMSA till at least the rest of your amalgams are out. Let us know how it goes. Claire
  14. Just popping in from San Jose to say hi! This conference certaintly isn't gluten-free friendly, but I met a celiac woman on my field trip today . A couple of people were talking on the field trip about the mercury mines up in the hills around here and how it comes down the watershed. Scarey . My internet connection is really sketchy, so no long message here. Pretty much how I've been feeling today - a bit sketchy . Claire
  15. Hi Everyone, Just a quick drive by for me... Sorry Donna, I can't help you. Dr. F my acupuncturist does BioSET a different way. :blink: Wow, that's ALOT of magnesium!! The most I can tolerate a day is about 1000mg before getting D. My massage therapist taught me an easy way to remember how to massage your intestines to help you pooh. She teaches mothers to do it on their babies. It's called I Love U. First, you start on your right side of your lower abdomen near your groin. Stroke up for the "I". Then, start in the same place, and make an upside down "L" going up your right side of your abdomen, then across just below your ribs. Next, start again in the same place on the lower right, go up, then across to the left, then down the left side for an upside down "U". You've finished the I Love U! The "I" is the ascending colon, "L" covers the Transverse colon", and the "U" picks up your Descending colon. It's much easier to show you, but I can't really do that here, eh ! Hope this helps you to remember it. Back to packing . Claire

  1. Hi, I am a brand new member and Im not quite sure what I am doing. Figured I would give this a try because it would be nice to have people to talk to that understand the seriousness of celiac disease and how difficult it can be to follow a gluten free diet. I was diagnosed some mths ago and still have difficulty making sure that I am steering clear of gluten. I read all the labels but none the less I know that here and there some gluten is getting into my system. When I do ingest gluten, I dont really get too many symptoms to let me know but I know my body well enough that I can feel some differences, such as upset stomach or diarrhea, but that doesnt always happen. Maybe this is not a good thing though because I am doing internal damage to my intestines without realizing it. I know now, after reading the most recent issue of Woman's Day Magazine about "The Disease in Disguise" that I need to research and gather more information than I currently know. There are times that I know I am cheating but in reality there is no cheating allowed!! There can be very serious consequences to pay and it's time I realized that I am shortening my life by doing so. I would be very interested in any feedback from fellow celiacs.

The 3rd pillar – private pension plans

Pension plans: Besides the state AHV (1st pillar) and occupational pensions (2nd pillar) you can also save for your retirement by contributing to a private pension plan (3rd pillar).

Paying into the 3a pillar for 2017:

maximum 6'768 francs

There are two different private pension plans, the 3a pillar and 3b pillar:

  • 3a pillar – restricted private pension plan for persons earning an income:
    Contributions are tax-deductible up to a set amount. This is a restricted pension fund, so you cannot take your savings out any time you like
  • 3b pillar – free / unrestricted pension plan for everyone:
    There is no limit to the amount you can pay into this plan. The 3b pillar pension plan gives you fewer tax advantages than the 3a pillar restricted plan.

Paying into the 3a pillar – Maximum annual contributions

Anyone earning an income can pay a set amount into the 3a pillar pension plan with their bank or insurance company. This amount can be deducted from your taxable income in your tax return. A distinction is made between:

  • people without an occupational pension plan (generally self-employed), who can pay in a higher amount or
  • people already paying into an occupational pension plan (generally employed).

 The maximum amount that can be paid in is set each year by the Federal Social Insurance Office and published on its website. In 2017 employed persons with an occupational pension plan can pay a maximum of CHF 6'768 into the 3a pillar. Self-employed persons without an occupational pension plan can pay in up to 20 % of their annual earned income, but a maximum of CHF 33'840.

The annual contribution must be booked into the relevant pension account by the end of the year in question. Be sure to take account of the holidays and make the payment in good time. Detailed information can be obtained from your pension fund or your bank/post office).

Pensioners who continue to work can still pay into a pension plan up to five years after reaching the official retirement age.

You can still pay in the maximum deductible amount even if you are unable to work for a time (e.g. due to military service, unemployment etc.).

You do not have to pay wealth tax on your pension plan savings. Nor do you have to pay income tax or withholding tax on interest and capital gains.

3rd pillar withdrawals

You can only withdraw money from a 3a pillar pension plan before reaching retirement age if you want to use it to buy or build a residential property, go abroad to live permanently, or set up your own business.

You can also withdraw your savings if you are unable to work and you draw full invalidity benefit.

You can withdraw money from your pension fund up to five years before the official retirement age, but the full amount must be withdrawn by this time. If you continue in employment,  you must withdraw the full amount up to five years after the official retirement age. Contact your third pillar scheme for the amount of money saved and the terms of withdrawal.

There are no special conditions regarding 3b pillar private pension funds.

If you withdraw funds from a 3rd pillar pension plan before you reach the official retirement age, these will be taxed at a much lower rate and separately from other income. There is a one-off tax which corresponds to the amount that you would pay in one year on this income.

Cherokee County, OK Court Systems: File charges on Caisen Green for animal cruelty.

On Valentine's Day of 2013, Caisen Green was out in his yard with a bow and arrow when 2 stray dogs showed up in his yard. He said that his attempts in "shooing" them away was unsucessful, so he aimed his bow and shot one of them, a Pit Bull, in the side. Later, he took a photo on his phone and uploaded it to Facebook with the caption "For all you Pit lovers out there. Here's what happens when one shows up around my house." After gaining some negative attention worldwide, he removed the photo. Once the authorities were contacted and went out to investigate, Caisen Green had already burned the body of the dog, therefore destroying possible evidence that could have indicted him. His claim was that he shot the dog in self-defense.

This petition is important because this pit bull was a living being, and did not deserve to suffer for simply being in his yard or for being the breed that he was. This could have been YOUR pet. Caisen Green does not deserve to walk free from charges because he cried wolf after gaining negative attention. The original post with the photo of the dead body alone is enough to show that there was mallicious intent behind this cruel act. PLEASE HELP!

Cheap Flights to St Moritz

St Moritz overview

Skiers book flights to St Moritz in their thousands to experience the most traditional of all Swiss ski resorts. This is the place to come if glitz, tradition and glamour is as important as the skiing itself. St Moritz in an old-school ski resort, with arguably the best conditions and most eligible credentials to be found anywhere in Europe. Host of the Winter Olympics on two occasions and the location of the famous Cresta Run for tobogganing, St Moritz is also a traditional spa town dating from the Middle Ages. The architecture itself may be a bit ugly, but look to the mountains, sip from a hot chocolate and people-watch, rather than looking back to the resort.

The snow record here is good, but equally importantly, the sun shines year-round, which makes for a more relaxing winter holiday. Experienced skiers may need to travel a bit further to find some challenging runs. St Moritz can cater more for beginners and intermediates – or those who want to pose in their ski gear, rather than utilising it.

The local airport is Zurich. Trains from Zurich to St Moritz run at frequent intervals throughout the day.

St Moritz insider information

  • The famous Cresta Run is nearby, and Saint Moritz was on the alpine skiing map long before other countries had even thought of the sport. It is one of a few places that has hosted the winter Olympics twice.
  • St Moritz was a favourite destination of Nietzsche and Thomas Mann, and stood for elegance and chic in the 1960s song “Where do you got to my lovely?”. The combination of beautiful scenery and an abundance of sun means it is a perfect destination.
  • Take a luxury steam train ride on board the Glacier Express or the Bernina Express in a train reminiscent of the 1920s. The Rhaetian railway can fulfil your railway history dreams.

Publisher's Description

The engaging and moving story of a once-proper lady who finds herself in a most unexpected situation; a romance set in Regency England.

Author Bio

Julie Klassen loves all things Jane--Jane Eyre and Jane Austen. A graduate of the University of Illinois, Julie worked in publishing for sixteen years and now writes full time. She has won the Christy Award: Historical Romance for The Silent Governess (2010) and The Girl in the Gatehouse (2011) which also won the 2010 Midwest Book Award for Genre Fiction. Julie and her husband have two sons and live in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota. For more information, visit

Mistakes that seem like a tragic poison bring about healing and new life in Julie Klassens debut novel, Lady of Milkweed Manor. In Regency England, the vicars daughter, Charlotte Lamb, has been banished from her home and disowned by her family when she discovers she is pregnant out of wedlock. After refusing to name the childs father, she flees to a manor for unwed mothers and registers under a pseudonym. There, she finds herself in the care of a former suitor, Dr. Daniel Taylor, whom her father deemed unworthy and has some secrets of his own. As they try to protect those they love through incredible sacrifices, they find healing, redemption, and true love.

This novel is remarkably well written. The characters are realistic and easy to sympathize with, and the narration has a poetic gracefulness about it that brings to mind such authors of classics as Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters. While it is clear from the first pages of this novel that a vast amount of research was done, the information gathered is worked into the novel seamlessly. The one glaring flaw occurs in the final decision Charlottes character makes in regard to her child. Without giving anything away, the phrasing of her explanation seems incredibly cold and clashes with the maternal love she has displayed throughout the novel.

This novel is by no means a cookie-cutter love story. Whereas the ending is a happy one, it doesnt go for the corny or a quick-fix of the characters problems. The characters have depth, and the story is both inspiring and true to the pains of life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance, but wants more than a boy meets girl, boy gets girl story. -- Shannon Potelicki,

    This review was written for Lady of Milkweed Manor.
    I always eagerly anticipate Julie's next novel . . . in fact, I might say a bit impatiently! :-) I am an avid reader having very few favorite authors. Ms. Klassen is definitely in the top three under that banner!

    I am almost finished reading LOMM for a second time, this being the only book to read twice in all my years of reading historical romance! It's positively as interesting on the second go-around! Her latest offering was released this week; I'm anxious to finish this and begin a new adventure through excellent writing!

    Very unique plotline, but it didn't keep interested

    Quality: 3
    Value: 0
    Meets Expectations: 2
    What a journey! Its a very unique story with lots of twists in it.

    At first, I was really captivated by the singularity of the plotline and the circumstances our main characters were when they met again, but I thought: there is no way this can work for them.

    I could see the Regency Period through new eyes, because, really, Im used to the nice side of it: elegance, balls, ladies, gentlemen, drawing rooms, and so on; but this book taught a bit of how it was like not be wealthy in that time, or to be pregnant but not married. It was interesting, I learned a lot!

    Also, it was really good to grow with the characters, they went through a lot, and the reader with them.

    However, I must say my interest went down when I reached about 33% of the book, but Im not sure why. I think it might be because the events changed so fast that it was hard for me to really connect to what was happening, and I feel the characters themselves didnt catch up very easily either, because they acted as if some twists hadnt affected them at all.

    There are some decisions characters made I couldnt understand, because they seemed so incongruent to their personalities and purposes in life that it was obvious to me they did it only to force the story to be something it wouldnt have been otherwise, which is not good. Plus, I did not like how easy everything got solved at the end.

    Its very good story, unique and all. It taught me a great deal, but I couldnt be drawn in as much as I had been in the beginning.

    Heartbreaking and Beautiful Story

    This review was written for Lady of Milkweed Manor.
    This book is a gem. It's not the normal happy romance novel. This book is deep and powerful and it will move you. I could feel Charlotte's pain with the decisions that she had to make. It was heartbreaking and yet beautiful at the same time. This story isn't just about love between a man and a woman, but it is also the love story between a mom and her child. Charlotte made some choices that sent her on a difficult path in life. As humans we all make the wrong choice sometimes and things will get difficult, but we must keep living and try to make things better for ourselves. This story will touch your heart in many ways. As sad as the story was, it also had happy moments and made me smile. It was well written and a beautiful story that I had a hard time putting down. You will love Charlotte as well as some of the other characters. I would easily recommend this book.

    I really have a deep appreciation for Julie Klassen and the gift God has given her to write with such depth.

    It is as if Jane Austin's world has returned, only we get to see a little bit of that society's underbelly. She writes with sense of compassion that is lacking in some Regency era novels.

    I also recommend the audio version of this book.

    Please read it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Oppressed by non-discrimination policies?

April 13, 2012

On Wednesday, the Catholic bishops' ad hoc committee issued a strongly worded statement on religious liberty. It includes a number of specific examples of "religious liberty under attack." Over at U.S Catholic, Meghan Murphy-Gill responds to these one by one.

I like how she dispenses with the claim that laws protecting same-sex unions have "driven local Catholic Charities out of the business of providing adoption or foster care services":

In other words, the state is trying to determine how state money is used for programs funded by the state. Again, this isn’t something I consider an attack on religious liberty. Catholic agencies can continue to provide adoption and foster care services, but they won’t receive the state contracts. And, just like with the claim regarding Christian students on college campuses, it’s pretty hard to see how non-compliance with a non-discrimination policy counts as practicing religious freedom, while not getting to enjoy the privileges that come with compliance counts as an attack.

Read it all.

Clipper Ventures Plc signs The Marine Travel Company for Clipper 13-14 Race

Back to archive

Clipper Ventures Plc has renewed its partnership with The Marine Travel Company who have been named Official Travel Partner for the Clipper 13-14 Round the World Yacht Race. It will be the third time that the Canterbury-based marine travel specialists have sponsored the world’s longest ocean race, building on the successful partnership established in 2009.

CEO of The Marine Travel Company, Dave Thompson said: “This is a unique event and we’re delighted to be able to once more assist the Clipper Race Team and its crews with all their travel arrangements.”

One of the UK's leading independent marine travel services, The Marine Travel Company will provide specialist marine fares to the Clipper Race team and crew through a dedicated 24/7 booking service, allowing everyone involved with the race the greatest degree of flexibility in their event travel.

Booking through The Marine Travel Company allows access to specially negotiated fares with airlines. Fares are fully flexible in case of delays and an increased baggage allowance of 40kgs enables Clipper Race crew members to travel with all the kit they need to face the challenges ahead.

Formed in 2002, The Marine Travel Company provides dedicated travel services to the Shipping and Marine industries. As a fully bonded and accredited agency with IATA and CAA and with partners in the Advantage Focus Partnership, a group of more than 90 leading independent agents, the agency is able to obtain some of the best air fares available.

Clipper Race Director Justin Taylor said: “The Marine Travel Company’s expertise in marine fares and crew logistics has proved invaluable in the smooth running of the Clipper Race in recent years. There will be 600 crew members taking part in the Clipper 13-14 Race, all of whom will need to make travel arrangements for themselves and their families, so it is a considerable task which requires the kind of specialist experience that The Marine Travel Company provide. We are delighted to welcome them back as The Official Travel Partner of the Clipper Race.”

The Taiwanese manufacturer's PC shipments grew 84 percent during the quarter, allowing it to pull into a dead-even tie with Toshiba for the very first time: the two are tied, that is, for fifth-most PC sales during the quarter behind usual suspects Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Acer, and Lenovo.

Asus' arrival as a major player in the PC game has been in the making for some time. As CNET noted last fall, Asus was positioning itself as the next Acer, starting as a components maker and turning itself into a household PC name in many parts of the world. Though Asus has a presence in every region, it does most of its business in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, followed by Asia.

Asus is still the world's largest provider of motherboards, but started getting attention from consumers when the Netbook craze hitin 2008, and the Eee PC was one of the most inexpensive and stylish ultraportable PCs on the market. Its success in the field inspired the likes of HP, Dell, Acer, and Lenovo to start making their own Netbooks or mini-notebooks.

Asus' rise has "been coming for a little while," said Loren Loverde, head of IDC's Quarterly Worldwide PC Tracker. "It's remarkable, particularly for people who haven't seen the Asus name around. Toshiba is a long-time, venerable PC player. Asus is a relative newcomer. But they have been shipping pretty significant volumes (of PCs), more substantially outside the U.S., but pretty significantly in most markets."

The entire PC market grew 22 percent during the second quarter of 2010, according to IDC. Asus' shipments almost quadrupled the market, rising 80 percent worldwide from the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2010. Asus' shipments were up more than 50 percent in every region in the world, except for Japan.

There's precedent for Asus' impressive rise: Acer and Lenovo followed similar trajectories to get where they are today, third and fourth in global PC shipments, respectively. But of the two were also able to augment their share of the the PC industry through major acquisitions. Acer rode the huge demand for notebook PCs and then bought its way into brand recognition in the U.S., purchasing Gateway. It did the same in Europe buying Packard Bell. Lenovo acquired IBM's PC business, including the well-regarded ThinkPad brand.

Asus has also parlayed its success with the Eee PC into a wider range of consumer electronics products. Asus has introduced a number of Eee-branded products, including the Eee Monitor, Eee Box, Eee VoIP phone, and soon the Eee Keyboard and even the Eee Reader.

The rest of the field
Asus wasn't the only success story in the second quarter. Lenovo outpaced the market by growing 47 percent during the quarter, through increased notebook shipments, but also desktops that are finding buyers in emerging markets, according to IDC.

Acer, which last fall moved into sole possession of second place in the PC shipments' race, dropped back down to third behind Dell. Dell shipped 10.6 million PCs last quarter, for 13 percent of the PC market. Acer shipped 10.3 million PCs, for 12.6 percent of worldwide shipments.

HP still leads the pack with 18.1 percent of all PCs shipped last quarter.

In U.S. shipments, HP leads with 25.7 percent, followed by Dell with 24 percent, Acer with 11 percent, Apple with 8.8 percent, and Toshiba with 8.5 percent, said IDC.

Though the PC industry has bounced back in a big way from when it bottomed out in early 2009, the great growth of 2010 will start tapering off soon, said IDC's Loverde.

"The biggest reason is the economic recovery cycle we're in right now," he said. The first half of 2009 was so bad that the first half of 2010 looks relatively good, in other words. Since the second half of 2009 was better, the second half of 2010 won't look nearly so impressive.

IDC is forecasting that the third quarter of 2010 will see growth rates slightly falling off to 19.4 percent, and to 12.6 percent in the fourth quarter.

WebResource ASP.NET 2.0 explained

, 26 Feb 2006
Rate this:
Please Sign up or sign in to vote.
WebResource (rumours and lies exposed): this is how you really do it.

This code drop is part of Redux series. This article started out to be about a dropdown date/time ASP.NET 2.0 server control. So I built the control and all its ancillary JavaScript, along with the images, and then everything was put into a zip file for uploading to the CodeProject. The installation instructions for the control went something like this:

  • Unzip the contents to a folder.
  • Copy the DLL to the Bin folder of your new project.
  • Copy the JavaScript file.
  • Copy the CSS file.
  • Copy the images.

Hey, wait a minute, this is really lame, why all the extra files, why not embed them into the DLL as resources. That was the beginning of three days of hell trying to understand and work with WebResources. I have boiled it down to about twenty lines of working code.

Nothing else on the net gives you an actual working sample and a lot of the information is simply wrong (possibly because it was based on beta versions). Well, this code compiles and runs on the release version of .NET 2.0.

Code snippets

Create a project which looks like this (you can get the control from the download and then just add an ASP.NET project to the solution):

Highlight the three files in MyResources, and in the Properties window, set Build Action to Embedded Resource:

The source for the control is as follows:

namespace MyWebResourceProj
  [ToolboxData("<{0}:MyWebResource runat="server"></{0}:MyWebResource>")]
  public class MyWebResource : System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
      protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)

      protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
           this.GetType(), "Test",

        // create the style sheet control
        // and put it in the document header
        string csslink = "<link href='" +
           + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />";
        LiteralControl include = new LiteralControl(csslink);

This is not a discussion on server controls, so let's focus on the parameters of GetWebResourceUrl:

  • this.GetType() - mandatory, just do it.
  • "MyWebResourceProj.MyResources.Test.js" - this is the most misunderstood parameter and the source of just about all errors. It is composed of [Assembly of this project].[Folder containing resource].[Filename of resource].

No matter what you read anywhere else, including Microsoft's official documentation (which is wrong), if you don't do it this way, you will fail (I know this from personal experience).

Now on to the AssemblyInfo.cs:

[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource(
      "MyWebResourceProj.MyResources.Test.css", "text/css")]
[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource(
      "text/javascript", PerformSubstitution = true)]
[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource(
      "MyWebResourceProj.MyResources.Test.gif", "image/gif")]

You need to specify the resource name exactly as you did in your program code. You need to specify the mime-type. If the file contains JavaScript, you may want to have ASP.NET perform text substitution. For example, you may have a line in JavaScript like:

document.write("");

When you embed your images in a resource, you no longer know the name of it as it appears in the resource. To fix this, code as follows:

document.write("<img src='<%=WebResource("MyWebResourceProj" +

All the "official documentation" and all the articles on the web say that you can leave [AssemblyName].[FolderName] out. But they are dead wrong!

Note: if you are using this control as the base class of another, see yc4king's note below.

KonstantinG has pointed out an error which only becomes apparent when your namespace is not the same as your assembly name. Previously, I had indicated that the name of the resource is: [Namespace of this project].[Folder containing resource].[Filename of resource], but really it is [Assembly of this project].[Folder containing resource].[Filename of resource]. As always, the best way to find information on this is by using Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector available at

SmashGrab / Redux series

I have recently started two series of articles here at CodeProject.

Smash and Grab is intended as a series of short articles on one specific code technique. Redux is intended as a series of longer articles which attempts to reduce a complicated topic (like WebResource) into its basic constituent parts and show that once you have all the information, it isn't really that hard. To find the Smash and Grab articles, search for the keyword SmashGrab. To find the Redux articles, search for the keyword Redux. I welcome any contributions to either series, but please follow the guidelines when submitting articles to either.

So there you have it, everything you need to know to use WebResources. This article documented how to place CSS files in the  section, extract JavaScript files, dynamically change the contents of a JavaScript file.

This article has no explicit license attached to it but may contain usage terms in the article text or the download files themselves. If in doubt please contact the author via the discussion board below.

The construction of real multimedia systems based on processors instead of special purpose hardware requires both higher signal processing performance and higher bandwidth memory systems to the processor. For these applications, a 32-bit embedded RISC processor with a 64-bit "single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD)" coprocessor, the V830R/AV, has been developed. Its asymmetric dual-issue superscalar architecture with the 64-bit SIMD coprocessor achieves 2-GOPS performance in video signal processing applications. The 200-MHz V830R/AV incorporates a Concurrent Rambus DRAM interface that has a 600-Mbyte/s data transfer rate, and it also integrates several multimedia-oriented peripherals. This results in a processor-based real-time MPEG-2 MP@ML decoding system in a unified memory architecture environment.

Drivers may not be available for that machine. Try F11 when you boot to restore Vista. All files will be lost. Backup first.

✔ Best Answer
If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 there is no need (and no point) in doing a factory reset. Just buy a Windows 7 upgrade DVD, but as guapo says, back up your existing data first.

Lenovo do have Windows 7 drivers for that model:

Be aware that you may have a problem finding Windows 7 in the computer stores now that Windows 8 has been on the shelves for some months. Microsoft reclaimed all the unsold copies of Windows 7 worldwide. Buying it online will probably be the best option (and usually cheaper too). Try Amazon.

Favorite Kids Activities Around Ventura County as Voted by CVG Facebook Fans

Yes, it actually rained here in the Conejo Valley last week!

Last Sunday, we ran a drawing on the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook page and asked entrants to indicate their favorite activity with the kids around town. On that rainy Sunday we had quite a bit of response. So with no further ado, let us highlight activities receiving the highest number of mentions. Do take note that the question was asked in open-ended fashion; we did not mention any of the hundreds of kids' activities compiled here on Conejo Valley Guide.

In the upper echelons of popularity, the most frequently noted family favorite activities were <drum roll> Underwood Family Farm in Moorpark, the Thousand Oaks Library, Sky High Sports in Camarillo, the Santa Barbara Zoo and local parks. Underwood was the clear top mentioned activity, with the others close on its heels. Some of the specific parks called out included Conejo Creek Park North (including the popular duck pond), Thousand Oaks Community Park (near TOHS) and specifically the "Ant Hill" at that park, Borchard Park in Newbury Park and Gates Canyon Park in Calabasas.

The Ant Hill at Thousand Oaks Community Park. Bring cardboard to slide down on!

The following activities were mentioned by CVG followers at least several times: Scooter's Jungle in Simi Valley, hiking and nature trails, Paint A Dream at the Simi Valley Town Center, the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, Lazertag Extreme in Simi Valley, Chuck E. Cheese's, Oak Park Community Park Duck Pond and Splash Pad, Rockin' Kids Play Center at the Simi Valley Town Center and Kids World (formerly Bright Child) in Oak Park. Also called out by several parents as a great activity was the Conejo Youth Basketball Association.

Other mentions by the family friendly Facebook crowd included bowling, Lowe's/Home Depot kids' workshops, Gardens of the World in Thousand Oaks, My Gym Thousand Oaks, Kids Club at The Oaks, Pump It Up Ventura, Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena, Create Studio in Westlake Village, Gymboree, Reagan Library, Camarillo Airport (the Waypoint Cafe is a great place to dine and see the planes) and Patriot Airsoft in Newbury Park.

Rounding out the list are Clubhouse Fun Zone in Ventura, playground at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks, horseback riding, the beach, Ventura Harbor Village, Wildwood Park, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, playground at The Village at Dos Vientos Ranch, California ScienCenter in Los Angeles, Make Meaning at The Oaks, Conejo Rec & Park District programs, geocaching, We Rock the Spectrum in Agoura Hills, Gull Wings Children's Museum in Oxnard and the Kids' Adventure Garden in Thousand Oaks.

Who doesn't love "Cosmic Bowling" pictured here at Harley's Bowl Camarillo. Especially with the bumpers up!

Text: H.Res.1401 — 111th Congress (2009-2010)All Bill Information (Except Text)

Text available as:

Shown Here:
Engrossed in House (07/27/2010)

H. Res. 1401

In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

July 27, 2010.

Whereas air traffic controllers dedicate themselves to the protection of the flying public;

Whereas air traffic controllers react to dangerous and complex situations on a daily basis, doing so in a calm and professional manner;

Whereas air traffic controllers work all day long and all year long, including holidays, to provide services to aircraft in their assigned airspaces;

Whereas, due to the highly stressful and demanding nature of the job and the total concentration required, air traffic controllers are required to take regular 30-minute breaks, work in shifts, and retire by the age of 56;

Whereas air traffic controllers perform courageous acts every day;

Whereas, on January 1, 2009, air traffic controller Kristin Danninger at the Madison, Wisconsin, Tower and Terminal Radar Approach Control (“TRACON”) facility directed a new pilot back on course and above minimum altitude who had been stuck in the clouds in a small aircraft with zero visibility, successfully using her knowledge of local geography to point out a highway that led the pilot to the appropriate runway;

Whereas, on March 29, 2009, air traffic controller Troy Decker at the Salt Lake Center facility guided a Piper Aztec aircraft with an engine fire to a safe landing in Butte, Montana, providing detailed weather reports for several possible landing options;

Whereas, on April 12, 2009, air traffic controllers Jessica Anaya, Lisa Grimm, Nathan Henkels, Dan Favio, Brian Norton, and Carey Meadows at the Miami Center facility and the Fort Myers Tower and TRACON facility guided to safety a twin-engine King Air aircraft after the pilot died in-flight, assisting Doug White, an individual with limited private pilot experience in smaller aircraft, to locate the positions of controls and switches on the aircraft and to navigate the high-traffic area of southern Florida;

Whereas, on June 28, 2009, air traffic controller Ron Chappell at the Southern California TRACON facility issued a traffic advisory to a jet aircraft landing at Los Angeles after viewing another target on his radar screen that was at an unknown altitude and approaching the jet, circumstances that bore a similarity to a 1986 mid-air collision over Cerritos, California;

Whereas, on July 5, 2009, air traffic controller Louis Ridley at the Potomac TRACON facility assisted a Velocity aircraft stuck above a cloud layer to navigate through perilous mountain terrain with limited fuel remaining and, while doing so, reassured the pilot, gave detailed flight and weather information, determined the best airport for a safe approach and landing, and even had his wife, Carolyn, greet the pilot after the pilot landed in Culpepper, Virginia;

Whereas, on October 9, 2009, air traffic controllers Kevin Plante and Christopher Presley in Portland, Maine, helped guide an aircraft that had become stuck in rapidly deteriorating weather conditions by employing, with daylight waning and the aircraft near mountainous terrain, a road map to direct the pilot to Portland using several highways, lakes, and towns as guides;

Whereas, on November 14, 2009, air traffic controller Jessica Hermsdorfer at the Kansas City Tower and TRACON facility calmly helped guide back to the airport an Airbus 319 aircraft that had hit multiple birds and experienced engine trouble, directing other aircraft out of the way and assisting the stricken flight to land safely;

Whereas, on December 7, 2009, air traffic controllers Natasha Hodge and Douglas Wynkoop at the Dallas TRACON facility worked as a team to assist a confused and disoriented pilot of an experimental aircraft, redirecting other aircraft in the area and suggesting an approach into Navy Fort Worth for the pilot, which resulted in a successful landing;

Whereas, on December 20, 2009, air traffic controllers Todd Lamb at the Anchorage Center facility and Michael Evans at the Fairbanks Flight Service Station ensured a safe landing for a Cessna aircraft that was experiencing smoke in the cockpit, as Mr. Evans was able to assist the pilot in locating a narrow dirt trail which was the only safe landing spot in the area and Mr. Lamb helped a second aircraft locate the downed plane’s position;

Whereas approximately 15,600 Federal air traffic controllers, in airport traffic control towers, terminal radar approach control facilities, and air route traffic control centers, guide planes through the airspace of the United States;

Whereas approximately an additional 1,250 civilian contract controllers and more than 9,000 military controllers also provide air traffic services;

Whereas, from fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2009, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) there have been 94,600,000 successful flights of United States commercial aircraft safely carrying more than 6,340,000,000 passengers;

Whereas air traffic controllers provide separation services over the entire airspace of the United States and 24,600,000 square miles of international oceanic airspace;

Whereas, as of May 22, 2010, the FAA operated 315 air traffic control facilities and the Air Traffic Control System Command Center in the United States;

Whereas, in the past 5 years, the FAA has hired more than 7,500 air traffic controllers in order to meet continuously changing traffic volumes and workload; and

Whereas air traffic controllers are facing staffing challenges, with an aging workforce and a wave of retirements: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) expresses gratitude for the contributions that the air traffic controllers of the United States make to keep the traveling public safe and the airspace of the United States running efficiently;
