Will the catastrophe happen within 24 hours?

Maybe I'll take the wine & sit in a dry bath tub. That should be safe, right?

It may not even happen to you--the ensuing event has been known to cross-psillie. You want to be alert, but it could hit any one of us instead.

I'm keeping my head down, but a group of about 1000 G20 protesters are clashing with over 100 police in riot gear about five miles south of here. The are also reports of a possible major gas leak at the same location with fire crews responding.

The G20 Summit is here in TO this weekend. The main venue is the Convention Centre downtown, about 6.5 miles south of my store. There are about 19,000 police and military security between this location and the G8 meeting (in progress now) in Huntsville, about 135 miles north of the city.

Various nutheads always show up to protest. ;)

I don't believe so--what happened?

Little issue with the cells stored in liquid nitrogen. Vials started exploding while my tech was putting new vials away. I recognized the sound and ran into the hall to find my tech hiding behind the door gesturing aimlessly with her mouth and eyes wide open. Vials still shooting out of the box.

I ran over and put the lid on the box both laughing and screaming at the same time while the secretary stood down the hall screaming OH OH OH. Managed to get the lid on and the box back into the liquid nitrogen tank. I could hear more vials exploding, but they weren't going anywhere.

At lab meeting I presented my tech with bags of silver and gold 'medals' for bravery (chocolate), and a purple heart for injuries sustained in battle (a sad looking puppy wearing a purple heart necklace).

And you all thought science was dull....

Say, Queen Emily, about the earthquake... Somebody told me that is the fault of Quebec. ;)

I also heard that it was an unsuccessful attempt by Quebec to separate. :o

Things seem quiet on the G20 front at the moment. The protesters have returned to the park where they started their march and seem to be setting up camp for the night.

Tomorrow will be interesting as the G8 entourage move to Toronto for the G20 which begins with a dinner Saturday.

Obama arrived at Toronto's largest airport, Pearson Intl, at 10:30 this morning and switched from Air Force One to a Marine helicopter for the trip to Huntsville. I assume that the same method will bring him back to Toronto tomorrow, but nobody is saying where it will land. There is an airport on an island in the harbour where it could land. There are also some buildings where a rooftop landing would be possible.

Plan is for us to drive in together, and them for me to leave Jacquie to be bored to death mind the store, and I will come back and pick her up at closing.

I love Toronto. Was there about 2 years ago. Can picture all this. What a mess. But I see that commerce must go on ... Eaton Center will bravely remain open. Lovely Science Center, too. We had much scientific fun.

It's always the fault of Quebec :lol:

And what is this leaving Jacquie to her own devices, throwing her to the wolves so to speak, deserting a recovering patient....is this the action of a true gentleman? :o

Having nothing to do with the topic at hand: I just had PB all melty on toast. Yum! All my life, I would have a PB sandwich or on toast and feel bloated and blechy for hours after. I could eat small amounts of PB straight from the jar. Just thought all the fat or something made it hard to digest. Not anymore! It was the bread all along! :)

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
