Type 1 Diabetic With Chest Pain: Am I the Heart Attack?
A few weeks ago, I woke up at 3 a.m. with excruciating chest, arm, neck, and back pain. It was the kind of pain that resembled everything I'd ever read or heard about the pain which precedes a heart attack. I don't know what the typical response is for a man who senses that he's experiencing a cardiac emergency, but my response was probably a textbook example of what not to do: I stayed in bed and let my thoughts run wild.
This can't be a heart attack. I'm not breaking out in a cold sweat. I'm a healthy and well-controlled type 1 diabetic. I'm not short of breath. I exercised last night and felt fine. I had carrots and celery for my nighttime snack last night. I can't afford to have a heart attack. What does a room in the cardiac ICU cost, ten thousand dollars a day? What if I die? What will my wife and son do without me? Why did I neglect my diabetes in my 20s? I ate too much pizza in college. God, I really can't miss work today. I wonder if I can get to the emergency room and be out in time to get to work.
After about 30 minutes of panicking and waiting for things to get better, I vomited. I remembered that my father-in-law had experienced the same symptoms when he'd had a heart attack two years ago – chest pains then vomiting.
I woke my wife, Theresa. "I need to get to the hospital," I said.
We dressed quickly and as we were walking out the front door, my compulsive need to know my blood glucose level at all times (which apparently persists even under threat of cardiac arrest) forced me to test. It was 180 mg/dl, quite high for the middle of the night.
"Am I the heart attack?" I asked myself.
As is typical for paramedics, the men who met me were professional, fast, and smart. They hooked me up to the EKG and took my vital signs. The EKG indicated a normal heart rhythm. My blood pressure and heart rate were normal too. The paramedics asked a series of questions and decided that it was still best to get me to the hospital. They sprayed nitroglycerin, a drug that lowers blood pressure and alleviates chest pain, under my tongue, loaded me into the ambulance, and pulled onto the highway. Theresa wasn't allowed to ride with me, so she followed us to the hospital.
A few minutes into the ambulance ride, I felt nauseated and threw up again. To calm my nerves, the paramedic named Kevin explained the EKG readings to me. Kevin talked about sinus rhythms, p-waves, t-waves, QT intervals, PR intervals, and ST Segments, all of the things that indicate whether your heart is beating to the rhythm of the right drum. He joked about how the EKG patterns on TV shows look like they are heart rhythms of amphibians, not humans.
Since I was incredibly anxious, I asked Kevin to test my blood glucose, which always skyrockets under stress. Blood glucose might not have been on Kevin's top ten list of things to monitor, but I knew that high blood sugar could lead to high ketones, and the last thing I wanted was to have a heart attack and diabetic ketoacidosis at the same time. My blood sugar was up to 280. I bolused 5 units of Humalog.
Although by the time I arrived at the hospital my chest pains had subsided, that didn't lessen anyone's sense of urgency. In fact, arriving at the emergency room with a suspected heart attack was like having front row seats above the home dugout at Yankees stadium. I moved right to the front of the line ahead of the broken legs, stab wounds, neck injuries, 3rd degree burns, 103 degree fevers, dog-maulings, and baby deliveries. No waiting, VIP treatment.
One doctor and three nurses peppered me with questions, poked me with needles, and x-rayed my chest. My blood pressure had dropped to 70 over 20 because of the nitroglycerin, so I lay flat on my back while they pumped fluids into my arm. After 30 minutes my blood pressure normalized, and within the hour the doctor came to me with some initial test results. He said my chest x-ray looked good, my EKG seemed normal, and the first cardiac enzyme test was negative. But, as 39-year-old type 1 diabetic, he said I was at a much higher risk for cardiac events. The initial tests were a good sign, but there could be underlying problems that these tests might not detect. He felt the best course of action was to hospitalize me for a few days so I could undergo a complete cardiac workup. The choice to stay or go was up to me. I didn't want to walk out of the hospital, collapse and die in the parking lot, and then have the doctor say, "I told him he needed more tests, but he just wanted to go to work." So I opted for a sleepover at the hospital.
The Cardiac ICU wasn't too busy that week. My room had two beds, but I was the only patient. It was a plain-Jane room: a bed, a moveable tabletop, and a tiny little TV with 65 channels, static and fuzz at no extra charge. My nurse, Jeff, explained that I needed to have three more cardiac enzyme tests over the next 24 hours, and after that, if things looked okay, I would take a stress ECG. He said all of the tests would give a fairly definitive report of the state of my heart.
I spent the day in the hospital, hooked up to a half dozen wires and at the mercy of the lab tech who came every 6 hours to draw blood. I tried to watch TV, but nothing really interested me until Oprah's infamous diabetes show came on. That show made me thankful that my doctor's name was Browning, and not Oz.
I had a lot of time to think about diabetes and my health. In so many ways, I'm lucky to be alive. I spent many years in denial about diabetes, and made bad choices during my 20s. It's easy to make bad choices about diabetes because the consequences usually don't hit you immediately. But when you're sitting in a Cardiac Unit in the hospital, every bad choice you've ever made, every skipped shot of insulin, every Krispy Kreme doughnut, and every bag of Doritos come back to haunt you.
You would think that the hospital would be the one place on earth where you wouldn't have to explain your diabetic needs, but that was not the case. This is the most important thing that a diabetic needs to understand when entering a hospital. The people working in a hospital have a theoretical, textbook understanding of diabetes, but they may not have a practical sense of your diabetic needs. If you are a patient with diabetes, it is your job to make sure that the medical professionals know what they're doing when they're making decisions that will affect blood glucose, food intake, and insulin levels.
For instance, the food service people forgot feed me, and I had to remind them that I was a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and that I would create quite a scene if my blood sugar dropped much below 50. The hospital's diabetic meals – based on an ADA approved diet, had 60 grams of carbohydrate per meal. In a typical day, I rarely consume more than 40 grams of carbohydrate. This forced me to make a choice between not eating very much or making a huge adjustment in my insulin intake. I chose to just eat the protein portions of the meals.
Late in the evening I was finally able to speak to my doctor. He told me that the first three enzyme tests were all normal, and that I was scheduled to do a "treadmill test" first thing in the morning.
First thing in the morning is hospital-speak for 10 a.m., and at 7:30 a nurse told me I wasn't allowed to eat until I'd had my stress-test. I reminded them again that insulin waits for no man, and that they needed to get me some breakfast. They called the cardiologist and got permission for me to eat what was easily the worst meal of my hospital stay. For reasons that are still unclear, they chose to serve me a "Low Cholesterol" breakfast. Eggs, Malt-o-Meal, two pieces of toast with sugar-free jelly, eight ounces of apple juice, and a carton of milk. Over 70 grams of carbs!
After the stress test, the cardiologist said that there was no indication anything was wrong with my heart. He said I had "a pretty good pump under my sternum." He warned me that heart disease is the leading cause of death for people with diabetes, and that I needed to take my heart health seriously. He speculated that my chest pain might have been caused by GERD (Gastro-Esophogeal Reflux Disease, a fancy name for indigestion), since the nerves in the esophagus are closely linked to the nerves near the heart. GERD is a frequent cause of severe chest pain, he said, but since the main goal of my stay at the hospital had been to rule out heart disease, he wasn't going to attempt to make a diagnosis. He did mention that since the esophagus has a smooth muscle lining, it's common for nitroglycerin to calm the painful symptoms of GERD.
I'm not happy that I spent two days in the hospital due to indigestion with a funny name, and I'm not entirely convinced that I had GERD. My family doctor had recently taken me off some anxiety medication, and when I looked online for withdrawal symptoms, I found that many people reported suffering chest pain.
The good news is that I haven't had any repeat of the symptoms. Part of me wishes they'd found an alien growing inside of me, or something that would have warranted a twenty thousand dollar hospital stay. The rest of me is relieved to be okay. And while overall, the experience was frightening, I did enjoy seeing my heart at work during the stress test, like a fist expanding and contracting, over and over again, the little valves opening and closing like taxi doors. Forty to 160 times per minute. All day. Every day. For a lifetime.

Sorry, I meant coronary artery spasms.
Not only can withdrawal from anxiety medication result in chest pains – one of the most prevalent symptoms of anxiety and panic disorder is chest pains of mysterious origin. In addition, anxiety and panic disorder can cause angina due to coronary heart spasms in an otherwise healthy heart. I assume a heart monitor would catch any spasms.
Awesome article. Thank you very much.
Great read I'm also a type 1 diabetic who has been in denial for years. It's hard but I have to get my health under control.

Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008 partly because he was a Washington outsider. But when he got to 1600, that distinction turned out to be double-bladed. As president, Obama hoped to mount a second campaign, one for the heart of the Democratic Party and, he hoped, America, a new idology of progressive liberalism in sharp contrast to George W. Bush's aggressive conservativism and Bill Clinton's centrism. But while he'd been a brilliant campaign politician, working inside the system turned out to be much more of a challenge than Obama had ever imagined. Now, Chuck Todd takes us deep inside the White House for a gripping behind-the-scenes account of Obama's tumultous first term and campaign to win another. Drawing upon his unprecendented inner circle sources, Todd puts takes us behind closed White House and Camp David doors, on to Air Force One, through the hallways of Congress, and on the campaign trail. And not only does he give us the most intense, exciting and revealing portrait possible of this fascinating president and his struggles, Todd also seeks to define what "Obamism" really is, what the president stands for and how his decisions have changed--and will change--American politics for generations.

[<< wikinews] U.S. military tribunal law faces first court challenge
The military commissions set up by the Bush administration to try Guantanamo detainees may order indefinite detention of suspects based on evidence secured by torture, concluded an amicus curiae brief filed by seven former federal judges before the D.C Circuit Court of Appeals.
Lawyers for Guantanamo detainees also filed separate briefs arguing that the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA) does not prevent the court from hearing habeas corpus petitions from detainees.
A court uses the writ of habeas corpus to examine whether a person is lawfully imprisoned by the government, and to compel release if the imprisonment is not legal. In common law countries, habeas corpus is an important instrument for protecting an individual's freedom against arbitrary state action.
== Long road to military trials ==
The United States has detained 759 men as "illegal combatants" at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, of whom about 250 have been released or transferred to the custody of other countries.
After the Supreme Court ruled in Rasul v. Bush (2004) that detainees are entitled to challenge their detentions in federal court, the Defence Department set up the Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT) to review the determinations that the detainees were "enemy combatants". The detentions of 558 were reviewed by the CSRT, which confirmed all but 38 of the detainees as "enemy combatants". John B. Bellinger III, Legal Adviser to the State Department has indicated last month that the administration plans to try only 60 to 80 of the 435 men currently detained.
In December 2005, the Detainee Treatment Act (DTA) was signed into law under which, the habeas petitions of the detainees were to be transferred to the CSRT. The Supreme Court held in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006) that the DTA did not apply to pending habeas petitions that challenge the legitimacy of the tribunals themselves. This led to the Military Commissions Act of 2006 to be signed into law, under which the administration seeks to strip federal courts of jurisdiction over the detainees' habeas petitions. Instead, detainees can challenge their detention at the CSRT and appeal only for a limited review by the D.C. Circuit Court.
Previously, two district courts have given contradictory rulings over the issue of whether the petitioners, who have not been charged but have been detained indefinitely, can petition for habeas rights in federal courts.
On Wednesday, attorneys for detainees filed the first full court briefings challenging the administration's interpretation of the detainee laws at the US District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in the cases Al Odah v. United States and Boumediene v. Bush and Khalid v. Bush.
Separately, seven former federal judges filed an amicus brief in support of the detainees' brief.
The Justice department is scheduled to file a response by November 13.
== Former judges file amicus brief ==
Seven former Federal Circuit and District judges, Shirley M. Hufstedler, Nathaniel R. Jones, Abner J. Mikva, Patricia M. Wald, and retired District Judges George N. Leighton, Frank J. McGarr, and Timothy K. Lewis filed an amicus brief supporting the petitioners' claim, saying that the "court-stripping" provisions of the MCA "challenges the integrity of our judicial system".
The brief argued that the government's interpretation of the
DTA and MCA would force the court to condone the use of evidence obtained by torture to sentence detainees to indefinite imprisonment, which is prohibited by common law and the Constitution.
The brief pointed out that the CSRTs failed to consider whether evidence presented to them was obtained by torture. The brief cited several cases where records of the tribunal proceedings showed that many of them did not address evidence of torture, some cross-examined detainees about torture allegations, but to distance U.S. forces from the alleged torture. Even when the CSRT referred torture allegations for investigation, it did not wait for results before ruling based on the evidence.
Based on rules that compelled the tribunal to accept the government's evidence against prisoners as presumptively "genuine and accurate.", the tribunal relied on incriminating statements by detainees, even though they testified that the statements were obtained by torture and that medical records and other reports confirm the use of torture.
The government has maintained that investigating allegations of torture was not "the CSRT's role" and has claimed that the tribunals are permitted to rely on evidence "obtained through a non-traditional means, even torture" to determine that a prisoner was an enemy combatant.
=== Prisoners allege torture ===
The brief listed several instances where prisoners have alleged
the use of torture to extract incriminating statements.
The Australian citizen Mamdouh Habib, who was captured in Pakistan in 2001 was "rendered" to Egypt, where he alleges he confessed to several terrorism related crimes after being subjected to "horrific abuse" by the Egyptian authorities. The tribunal simultaneously found  enough credible evidence to order an investigation into the torture allegations and found Habib an enemy combatant based on the same evidence.
The brief outlined the case of detainee Mohammed al Qahtani whose interrogation, the Defence Department has said,  produced "detailed information about 30 of Osama Bin Laden's bodyguards who are also held at Guantanamo". Interrogation logs showed al Qahtani was interrogated for about 20 hours per day for seven weeks, subjected to isolation, intimidated with military dogs, sexually humiliated, and subjected to sleep and sensory deprivation.
Since the CSRT rules permit secret evidence, suspects implicated by al Qahtani's statements will not be told who accused them or under what circumstances and the accusations will be presumed accurate.
The brief pointed out that it was not aware of a single CSRT that allowed a prisoner to develop an evidentiary record to support the allegations of torture. But according to the government's interpretation of the DTA and MCA, the appeals court cannot consider facts outside the CSRT's record when reviewing the CSRT's decision.
== Detainee lawyers challenge new law ==
The briefs filed by lawyers for the detainees argues that the text of the MCA does not strip the courts of authority to hear pending habeas petitions and does not permit indefinite detention without charge.
The briefs argue that if the MCA did indeed repeal habeas rights, then the law is unconstitutional. This, because the CSRT hearings and the limited review by the D.C. Circuit court, which are meant to be the substitute for a habeas review under the Act, are not "adequate and effective" to test the legality of the detentions, and hence would violate the Suspension Clause of the U.S. constitution.
The MCA interpretation of the review process falls short of the "adequate and effective" remedy constitutionally required, according to detainee lawyers, with the following shortcomings -
The administration contends that detainees, or their attorneys, are not entitled to classified information relevant to the case but not in the CSRT's record.
The administration claims that the Act forbids the Circuit court from considering any facts not in the record of the CSRT proceedings or excluding any part of the evidence presented in the record (for instance, evidence obtained by torture).
The government also interprets the Act to require the Court to uphold the CSRT's decision, unless there was no evidence supporting detention. It does not allow the Court to assess the relative weight of the evidence, thus, as long as some evidence supported detention, this Court would be constrained to uphold the imprisonment.
Finally, the Circuit court itself has no power under the Act to order the release of a detainee if the CSRT process or its ruling is unlawful.The briefs further argue that the MCA does not prevent the detainees claiming rights under the Geneva Conventions.

Brain Injury Survivor Helps Those with PTSD and Disabilities
Steve Adubato goes on-location to the 2018 Russ Berrie Making a Difference Awards to talk with a prize winner Melissa Gertz, Founder of Community Justice Center in Trenton, about the struggles she faces every day due to a traumatic brain injury and how her organization helps advocate for New Jersey's veterans and other disabled individuals dealing with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries.
"Recently, I was on location at the Russ Berrie Awards for Making a Difference. There, we met a 2018 honoree with a very special story. Here now is that conversation. My name is Melissa Gertz, I am the Founder and Executive Director of the Community Justice Center. We are a legal services nonprofit in New Jersey, we just represented our 650th client. To quote Cornel West, "Justice is what love looks like in public." What has always called to me most, even as a child growing up in New Jersey, was not just the distaste for injustice, but an imperative to do whatever was in my power at that particular moment to rise above and against it. It drove me to law school and to choose Rutgers School of Law in Newark, because of its legacy of inclusion and integrative approach to social justice and civil rights, that all oppressions and isms are one and the same. In the Summer of 2004, in the midst of law school, I was interning at a civil rights organization in the Mississippi Delta, when life decided to rudely interrupt. In short, I was t-boned by a truck, and nearly died. But I didn't. Instead, after countless surgeries and rehabilitation, I was left with a face full of hardware that felt and looked like more like the inside of a piece of electronics, extremely limited vision, and the most important and devastating of it all, Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI. Meanwhile, veterans have been returning from deployment with TBI. Everyone knows this, in large part, because of the light cast by Bob Woodruff after his own injury while embedded. But what everyone doesn't know, are the endless battles they face upon return, within themselves, and to get the benefits and treatment they rightfully deserve. Without it, we all know the outcome - suicide. But we don't all quite understand why. But I did. And in New Jersey there weren't any legal services outfits to help. The question is not, "Why did I start the Community Justice Center?" The question is, "How could I not?" My rescue dog Kenna and I have become quite the dynamic duo. Returning veterans and others dealing with PTSD and TBI, find the comfort of Kenna, coupled with my personal experience, compelling, and are much more open about their own struggles. And the real kicker, she was rescued just a few miles from my car accident 1,300 miles away. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? I feel like this says it all. Our clients don't have the..."


Edwin was staring at Bjorne who was sitting on the school bus that was parked in front of the school.
We don't have time to help Damon.
I was on the phone with Evan just five minutes ago.
Petr has no intention of letting his son travel by himself.
Alex didn't even know where to start.
Roman ate vegetable soup this morning.
Think and Howard met when they were both walking their dogs.

Do you really want to know why Elias doesn't like you?
Tad and Cynthia are our guests.
Do you think Jerald really likes Matt?
Tell Nicolette to shut up.
Bernard showed Old the list.

2015 is almost over...and that being the case, many are making resolutions for the upcoming New Year. Many of us make promises to ourselves, but can't seem to stick to it for too long. Sometimes our goals are too lofty, or maybe we try to make too many resolutions at one time.

Local interest in our Tamborine Mountain Landcare Centre has grown recently after the idea of a Creative Hub was publicised, to be located adjacent to our premises on Hartley Road East. Whatever happens to that scheme, our centre is already a hub for our regeneration and education activities.
From humble beginnings just a couple of years ago, when our storage shed and shade house were erected in an empty field, the centre has now become a beautiful green space with progressive tree plantings and weed control around the site's edges and down to a pretty waterhole and creek.
A demonstration garden showcasing our local native shrubs and trees is almost complete, with only informative labels to be added over the next few months. Landcare members and other interested residents will then be able to wander through these gardens and identify the lovely specimens they can plant in their gardens instead of exotics.
A donation by Tamborine Mountain Little Theatre and Flying Arts from Brisbane has enabled us to install a Birdwing Butterfly vine trellis down by the waterhole, to support the host plant for this beautiful butterfly, which is endangered in South East Queensland. Photos and information have recently been erected, to educate visitors.
The centre grounds are now used by many people who undertake the Park Run track. This offers runners and walkers a safe and interesting route through to the adjacent Sports Complex.
Do take a visit the Landcare Centre. You are welcome to drive right in and park on the grounds. Wander through the demonstration garden, walk down to the picnic table and see vine trellis with its new signs. Why not bring a picnic?
Our recent humungous rummage book sale at the Landcare Centre was a great success, with over $600 raised to purchase plants for our rainforest regeneration projects. Thanks to the generosity of our mountain residents, our Piccabeen Bookshop is never short of quality second hand books. Why not check them out at our bookshop, and bring a bagful of great reading home from our next book sale?
Ever wondered about these clever parasites? You'll find all the answers in The Mistletoes of Subtropical Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, by local authors John Moss and Ross Kendall. This excellent and well illustrated book is now the definitive text for our mistletoes.

If you haven't already done so, please renew your membership promptly, and make the work of Maureen Booth, our Membership Secretary, so much easier!

For decades, cyanide fishing has been recognized as one of the most destructive means of collecting tropical fish. To catch fish by this method, fishermen crush cyanide pellets into squirt bottles filled with seawater. They then dive down to coral formations and squirt the poison into the crevices where fish lurk. Stunned, the target fish become easy to scoop up.
Some cyanide-exposed fish are destined for the dinner table in Hong Kong, and others may find themselves swimming in a tank at a dentist's office in California.
A new report released by the Center for Biological Diversity and For the Fishes finds that around 6 million tropical marine fish imported into the US each year for the pet trade have been exposed to cyanide poisoning.
DON'T MISS: What Are Nile Crocodiles Doing in Florida?
The report comes ahead of the release of Disney/Pixar's Finding Dory, as the film is expected to fuel the sale of tropical reef fish, including royal blue tangs like Dory. Following release of Finding Nemo in 2003, fans wanting a pet Nemo of their own elicited a spike in clown fish sales.
Large percentages of the fish that are captured alive by cyanide are so weakened by the poison that they die in transit. The cyanide also kills nearby invertebrates, non-target fish, and the corals themselves. "This report reveals the extensive destruction to reefs and wildlife caused by the saltwater aquarium hobby," said Rene Umberger with For the Fishes.
The Lacey Act prohibits acquisition of or trade in wildlife that was collected in violation of another country's law. Cyanide fishing is illegal in most countries that export reef fish, including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. However, an international monitoring system to track imports and exports of live reef fish is currently lacking.
Earlier this year, the Center for Biological Diversity, For the Fishes, The Humane Society of the United States, and Humane Society International petitioned the Obama administration to halt illegal import of tropical aquarium fish that are caught overseas using cyanide.


This pack enables you to compare placing haemagglutinin (HA) epitope tags at either the N or C terminus of your gene of interest (inserted into the MCS, under transcriptional control of the OXB20 strong bacterial promoter) with, and also without a TEV (Tobacco Etch Virus) protease cleavage site. The TEV site enables removal of the HA tag from the protein following production. Comparing these four configurations should enable you to evaluate how best to express and detect your gene of interest from bacterial cells. We also provide many other functional tags and cleavage sites, if required.
This kit contains the plasmids pSF-OXB20-NH2-HA-TEV (OG2774), pSF-OXB20-COOH-TEV-HA (OG2775), pSF-OXB20-COOH-HA (OG3181) and pSF-OXB20-NH2-HA (OG3319).

Parents of children with birth injuries are rarely able to meet the rising costs of special needs care with their own income sources. Caring for a seriously injured child is not easy — it takes significant funds and has been known to cause financial devastation for many families. Legal assistance is available to devastated parents searching for answers and resources. With the help of an experienced birth injury lawyer, your child may gain access to the type of medical care that could make all the difference in his or her future.
Parents are often hesitant to even consider the possibility of filing a birth injury claim. They may be intimidated by the doctor, or even worried that a lawsuit will be expensive and require time and energy that could be better spent caring for their injured child.
Proving a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or hospital is responsible for your child's birth injury is not just about highlighting inadequate medical care, it's also about holding specific medical professionals accountable and getting your family the funds you need to properly care for your child.
While the process of investigating medical malpractice can take time, your family deserves to know the truth. A skilled birth injury attorney can handle the investigation for you and work diligently to uncover evidence that a mistake was made during labor and delivery. If your attorney is successful, you could be awarded significant compensation that will help you afford the best treatments for your child and improve quality of life.
While money doesn't solve the pain caused by physical injury, it can remove some of the stress of raising an injured child by giving parents access to high quality medical care. You may be entitled to receive compensation for all expenses related to your child's health problems, including surgeries, adaptive living equipment, rehabilitation, physical therapy, speech therapy, special education, home modifications, medication, emergency room visits, in-home care, and more.
With guidance from skilled financial experts, your birth injury attorneys can estimate the expected lifetime costs of caring for your injured child and seek a settlement that will ensure your child is taken care of every day of their life.

Onions as far as the eye could see. So maybe not quite that many but I did have a serious over-supply last week. I could have sworn I was out of them so bought a kilogram bag at the markets on Sunday. Little did I know, I not only had onions but, I already had a full bag in the fridge along with a few loose ones.
I know onions last a while but even I didn't need 2.5kg of onions sitting around nor did I have the fridge space to spare.
My night time reading is quite often cookbooks and last weeks book of choice was the Country Women's Association preserves book which just happened to have a recipe for onion marmalade that used 1kg of onions – perfect!
It's another recipe for the 4 ingredient ladies this one – just onions, salt, sugar and vinegar. It's seriously low-budget too with the total cost coming in at about $6 total. I didn't even need to buy anything else.
The recipe just called for 'vinegar' so I had to take a punt on what sort to use. I went for 1/8 balsamic and the rest white. You'll need a rather large pot to make this in and the wider the better.
Start with just the sugar and vinegar in the pot and heat it over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved then bring it all to a boil.
The slicer attachment on my food processor was christened with this recipe and I honestly don't think I could have made it without it. My eyes were tearing up just peeling the onions. The next day I was recalling my marmalade-making to mum. She got a great bargain on onions a few weeks earlier and made the same thing in the slow-cooker but cutting the onions by hand, she was cursing the onion man's smooth talking sales skills by the time they were all sliced.
Add all the onions to the pan and again bring it to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let it simmer away for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the onions are transparent and the liquid is syrupy. I left mine for 2.5 hours. After that time, taste it and adjust the seasoning if you need to. I added a little extra salt to mine.
Two days before I'd had a terribly failed attempt at a new multigrain bread recipe. It was meant to be a tall, fluffy loaf. As you can see from the slices, it was miserably flat. All was not lost though. I sliced it up very finely, lay the slices on a baking tray and sprayed them with a little oil and a sprinkle of salt then baked them until they crisped up. Stored in an air-tight container, they'll keep for ages.
Once the onions are ready, bottle them up. Apparently they will keep for ages and ages and only get better with time.
I've already got recipes flying around in my head but pairing it simply with feta in a fritata or tart sounds like a good place to start. Top a steak with it, serve it with cheese and crackers, stir it into a casserole – whatever you do you'll love it. Enjoy!
What about you? Do you tend to over-buy things?
In a big saucepan, stir the sugar, vinegars and salt together and then bring to the boil.
Add the onions to the pot and stir them through then bring it to a boil again.
Reduce it to a simmer and leave it to cook away for 2 - 2½ hours or until the onion is transparent and the liquid is thick and syrupy.
Transfer it into sterilised jars.
I tried your recipe just now. It is easy to make and very, very delicious!!
Busy making the onion marmelade. I want to know if I cover the pot while its simmering for 2 hours or leave it open? A quick response would be fantastic, as the marmelade is on the stove already!!
Hi Catherine. A bit late now but I usually leave the lid off. Hope it went well!
I made your Onion Marmalade (Country Women's Association) and would like to get a little bit of advice off you.
I doubled the recipe and noticed that by the time the marmalade got thick enough, the marmalade was a lot darker than yours. Could you please tell me why this may have happened.
I'd just say it caramelised a little more or took a bit longer for the sugars to be released so browned up more? Would also depend on the onions. It will most likely be a slightly different colour every time.
I was searching for a recipe for onion marmalade for a show competition in a couple of weeks time. The vast majority of them called for wine or port which I really didn't fancy. I loved the simplicity of this one. I made it yesterday and just had my first taste with cheese and homemade brioche. Absolutely gorgeous and hopefully a winning jar! Thank you so much for posting it.
You're very welcome Sue! You'll have to let me know how you go! If you'd like, I'd love you to share a photo of your jam at the show on my Facebook page?
I rarely buy too much, but I do often buy a pile of whatever for the purpose of making something like this. I have a recipe for a red onion relish which is used all the time here, but this recipe sounds really lovely, will definitely make it.
Red onion relish sounds delicious.
Thanks for the great onion marmalade recipe. I gave onion marmalade a try recently and hopefully it turned out as well as yours! It's a really delicious preserve.
Isn't it delicious? So versatile too!
Fancy seeing you here! Yay I'm glad I have a definite 'voice'!
Claire, I too am thinking of a zillion ways to use this yummy stuff!
I feel like I can taste this from here! I love a good onion jam. What a gorgeous color.
Do you taste sweetness Jen? It's super sweet!
You're so observant! I've just been playing around with the side bar. Oops I must have disabled it!

Leaving the Peach State Won't Be so Peachy for Netflix
Patience Griswold | May 31, 2019
Several major studios are considering abandoning Georgia as a film production location in light of Georgia's recent heartbeat bill. If implemented, the bill would ban the destruction of the life of an unborn child once a heartbeat is detectable.
Netflix has come out as the strongest voice against the bill, their chief content officer stating that Netflix "will 'rethink [its] whole investment in Georgia'" if the law goes into effect.
But as Netflix attempts to strong-arm the state of Georgia, they may want to take time for some self-evaluation.
Near the end of 2018 Netflix had racked up $8.34 billion in debt. To combat this, the company announced plans to raise another $2 billion in debt in order to continue producing original content.
But are Netflix Originals even worth such costs? As some have observed, many of them are not even very good. Yes, I watched "Set It Up" and "To All the Boys I Loved Before," and they were exactly what I expected them to be: stilted and enormously cheesy. And let's not even talk about "The Unicorn Store."
In essence, Netflix Originals are great if you need something to watch when you're enormously bored. They're the kind of movies you watch in the back of the car on the final leg of a nine-hour road trip, or when you need something on in the background while doing homework.
Instead of original content, Netflix's audience appears to love the reruns that have long been a mainstay of the company. When Netflix considered pulling "Friends" last fall when WarnerMedia upped the price of continued licensing, Netflix fans lashed out, many of them noting that "Friends" was the only reason they continued to subscribe to Netflix. In the end, Netflix forked out $100 million to keep the show for another year and appease their viewers.
And it isn't just "Friends." Fans are equally concerned about the possibility of losing "The Office."
The opinion of fans makes itself known in data, which reveals that Netflix is heavily dependent on reruns. With "The Office," "Friends," and "Parks and Recreation" leading their most watched shows for last year. There wasn't a Netflix Original in the top five.
Yes, there are voices expressing optimism over Netflix's future, and they may well be right. But that does not change the fact that they're deep in debt and paying a steep price to keep their most popular programs.
Given their current position, leaving the Peach State might not be very peachy for Netflix, especially considering the perks the state offers.
As Kyle Smith pointed out in the National Review, "Netflix is in Georgia in the first place only because of the state's ruthless capitalism: Tax breaks for big business and right-to-work policies." He goes on to point out that taking a movie out of Georgia could mean taking millions out of the movie's budget, which could make the difference in whether or not the movie gets made.
On top of the cost Netflix would incur if they choose to leave Georgia, the announcement that they would reconsider their investment with Georgia drew immediate calls for boycott from pro-life leaders. As they take their financial situation into account, Netflix may want to think carefully about how serious these boycott threats are. Is the company willing to put themselves in an even more precarious position in order to virtue-signal to abortion advocates, or will the real cost of pulling out of Georgia reveal their threat to be nothing but smoke and mirrors?

Note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to "Supernatural" as a Netflix Original series. It has been updated to correct that error.

Macro Monday – WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY?
Photography is divided into many genres. Some are more popular, some less. But definitely one of the most fascinating is the macro photography. The ability to photograph the microcosm around us in detail unobtainable for an unbridled eye is exciting and very fruitful. Sooner or later, in each of us a desire to shoot whether an insect, whether an unusual plant (flower), but very often results are not what we expected and hoped to get. Every keen enthusiast in macro photography wants to achieve results like experienced professionals. To catch an insect shot under a huge magnification so as to see the faces of his eyes or just to shoot in an unusual way a familiar object of our daily life. In today's article, we'll look at what professionals are using, what are the ways to make interesting macro shots and how less we can achieve impressive results.
First, let's start with what is macro photography? Macro or micro photography is a process of shooting small subjects with a large magnification (usually 1: 4 or greater). For this purpose, lenses are used that focus more closely from the standard and design a larger image on the sensor. True macro photography is when real size increases. Ie. if you shoot a 24mm object, it will be projected to the same size on the sensor (hence the 1: 1 mark).
Since most modern cameras are high-resolution, and with the help of macro lenses they capture very good detail, when the image is printed in large size or monitored on the monitor, the visible magnification may look more than 1: 1. If we assume that we have a perfect lens (no optical defects) and shoot the same object sequentially with two cameras, one of which is 12MP and the other 48MP, the second one will give a seemingly double zoom, but from an optical point of view the increase of the object Both pictures will be 1: 1.
Another way to achieve a larger apparent increase is if we use a macro lens on a camera with a smaller sensor. Since the lens's minimum objective distance will be the same, the increase is directly proportional to the crosp factor, i. E. if we put a macro lens with a 1: 1 approximation of the m4 / 3 sensor with a 2x factor, we will have a 2: 1 approximation. Taking advantage of this, Olympus and Panasonic make their lenses with 1: 2 optical zoom instead of 1: 1. In this article, however, we will generally abstain from the resolution and the size of the sensor and talk about the purely optical zoom.
In general, when it comes to magnifications in macro photography, it is only the size of the lens-shaped image on the matrix (ie the optical zoom), not the apparent coming from the larger resolution or the size of the sensor.
Thanks Lacho for the informative post. Since I am not so much into photography, I did not know what a macro meant. It is clear now.
This article has enriched my minimal knowledge about this. Thanks, Ellenka.
Your photography and knowledge have been missed. What a stunning rose and you explained this very well. Good to see you.


MomsTEAM has consistently supported athletic trainers' groups, both at the national (NATA) and state level, in their efforts to improve youth sports safety, both through education and by advocating for ATs in every high school (less than half of U.S. high schools have an AT on staff, although the percentages vary dramatically from state to state).
One of the most active athletic trainers' association at the state level is in New Jersey, which was the first state to require by law that coaches receive safety training, is among the 40 states that have enacted strong youth concussion safety laws, and has been a leader in advocating for academic accommodations for concussed student-athletes.
MomsTEAM supports the educational efforts by groups such as the ATSNJ, and, for those physicians, ATs, and coaches in New Jersey who are able to attend, we encourage you to do so.
For those who can't attend the meeting, it will be broadcast LIVE via a video webcast on ConcussionTV. This broadcast is FREE and will be archived to their site for one year for follow up viewing.

Books White People Need to Read - How many have you read?
Based on an article from The Good Men Project called "Why I Don't Want to Talk About Race" by Steve Locke, this list is a way for white people to learn more about race, whiteness & oppression.
"There needs to be discussion among people who think of themselves as white. They need to unpack that language, that history, that social position and see what it really offers them, and what it takes away from them."


Lack of racial diversity among police intelligence employees.
Failure to train police intelligence employees on federal and state law.
Ignorance of Black cultural iconography.
Inadequate oversight at police fusion centers.
A culture of impunity regarding police surveillance of First Amendment protected activity.
In Oregon, these toxic ingredients combined to produce racist, illegal surveillance of a government employee's First Amendment protected speech. Specifically, a police intelligence officer assigned to the local "fusion center" compiled a report on the Director of the state Department of Justice's Civil Rights division's tweets, warning his superiors that the civil rights Director's commentary about police violence against Black Americans constituted threats to law enforcement. The memo describing these tweets was ultimately passed to the Attorney General, who immediately called for its author to be put on leave and commissioned an independent investigation. The results of that investigation were published in an April 6, 2016 report. The remarkable document shines a light into a place most Americans don't have access to, but which has an outsized influence in 21st century American life: the shadowy local surveillance infrastructure established in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Police say they need more money, power, and fancy technologies—and information sharing hubs like fusion centers—to keep us safe from growing threats including domestic and international terrorism. But the April 2016 report on the Oregon incident adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that instead of protecting us, fusion centers and the post-9/11 model they represent threaten the very liberties the police claim to defend.
The Oregon controversy started, as so many police controversies do, with a new surveillance toy. In September 2015, employees at the Oregon DOJ's Criminal Justice Division's TITAN Fusion Center were offered a free demonstration of social media monitoring software called Digital Stakeout. According to the April 2016 report, the TITAN Fusion Center is the state's "focal point for receiving, analyzing, gathering, and sharing threat-related information in order to better detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity." The Digital Stakeout software "takes user specified keywords and searches multiple open source social media sites, and returns results that can be pinpointed to a geographic area specified by the user." After the in-house demonstration, officers and analysts at the fusion center were given the opportunity to use the software on a free, trial basis.
The fusion center employee (whose name is redacted throughout the report) became alarmed. He notified his superior, Special Agent in Charge David Kirby, that a Civil Rights division employee had made threats against law enforcement. Kirby notified Chief Counsel Darin Tweedt, who recommended to Deputy Attorney General Fred Boss that the fusion center agent prepare a report on the suspicious tweets. Boss concurred. The agent then produced the following memo.
There were a lot of protests and law enforcement assaults that were going on throughout the country and the hashtag itself was being used by many different persons that were organizing riots and looting and threats against law enforcement and just social disobedience in general.
That reasoning fails to meet the legal standard of what justifies police intelligence collection. Likewise, it would be illegal for a police officer to collect intelligence information on people who use the hashtag "NASCAR" simply because some people who use that hashtag have committed crimes. There is nothing criminal about the Black Lives Matter hashtag, just as there is nothing criminal about NASCAR.
Other disturbing comments the agent made to the investigator are indicative of an often latent but historically persistent hostility many police intelligence officers harbor towards dissent and dissidents broadly speaking. "Anytime there's a riot or any kind of social disobedience there's always an underlying threat to law enforcement and the public," he said.
But the memo he produced for his superiors didn't concern the #blacklivesmatter tag generally, or the millions of people around the world who have tweeted it over the past few years. It focused squarely on the speech of Mr. Johnson, the Civil Rights director for the Oregon Attorney General's office. One tweet in particular struck the agent as threatening to law enforcement. That tweet is copied below.
As you can see, the tweet is dated January 19, 2015. It does not include the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. The police agent found it on September 30, 2015, nearly nine full months after Mr. Johnson tweeted it. In order for the officer to have found this tweet, he would have had to scroll through nine months of Mr. Johnson's tweets, presumably looking for something incriminating. But the tweet does not threaten law enforcement. It is not, as the agent seemed sure it was, an image of a police officer in cross-hairs. It is a famous logo from the hip-hop group Public Enemy.
The agent told the investigator that, upon seeing this tweet, he looked at the other pictures Mr. Johnson had tweeted. He was alarmed by "all this hate stuff and especially anti-law enforcement stuff since he worked with us," the agent said. Take a look at the tweets the agent was talking about on pages 47-73 of this document. You'll find mostly cartoons depicting police violence against Black Americans or other expressions of white supremacy. It's hard to see how anyone could see Mr. Johnson's tweets as "hateful," but that's irrelevant. The cop's job is not to determine who is mean or hateful, and to spy on them. Rather, it is to determine who may be involved in illegal activity, or who has committed crimes.
Notably, the agent didn't think that his search of Mr. Johnson's tweet violated department policy or the law. The investigator put it like this: "[REDACTED] believes the search complied with [federal law] because he felt he was not collecting or maintaining information, merely searching for it using open source terms that anyone could use. [REDACTED] does not believe any search terms are off limits 'because you can search for anything you want, but if you start to collect it and maintain it then you have to have a reason.'" Furthermore, he thought the search was appropriate because "it was a hot topic at the time that was causing riots and people getting injured and killed and public destruction." The agent told the investigator that he thought the search was no different from his search on Volksfront, a white supremacist group, because "#blacklivesmatter is simply a hashtag used by a wide assortment of people to do a wide assortment of things, one of which is to promote violence," the investigator wrote.
Who's afraid of Black Lives Matter?
The agent wasn't alone among his colleagues in assuming that he could legally conduct surveillance against people using the #blacklivesmatter hashtag. A research analyst who has worked with the Oregon police since 2006 told the investigator that "although…she had heard of #blacklivesmatter being used in the context of 'blacks being killed by police,' she did not feel someone in Mr. Johnson's position should be tweeting such messages.'" She herself had conducted online searches for information about animal rights activists, she told the investigator. Another colleague, an analyst employed since 1999 and assigned to the fusion center since 2011, told the investigator she too had conducted searches on the Animal Liberation Front. She also said that prior to the dustup with her colleague and learning how the "Attorney General feels about that," she wouldn't have known not to search twitter using the #blacklivesmatter hashtag. A third analyst, employed by the Oregon DOJ for the last ten years, said that her colleague conducted the search because people "that were calling for the massacre of police officers and white people" had tweeted the #blacklivesmatter hashtag in the past. When she viewed Mr. Johnson's twitter posts, she "felt the posts were very derogatory toward law enforcement," the investigator wrote.
"Mr. Johnson had not made any threats, and rather appears to have been expressing his dissatisfaction with incidents of police shootings of or biased behavior toward African Americans. Rather than depicting threats to the police, the majority of the law enforcement related posts by Mr. Johnson appear to be satirical cartoon images depicting threats from the police toward African Americans," she wrote.
Despite finding that the surveillance was illegal, that many members of the Oregon DOJ Criminal Justice Division and fusion center were not sufficiently trained in criminal intelligence law, and that a number of the agent's colleagues appeared to share his biases against Black Lives Matter, the investigator ultimately concluded that there was no "widespread behavior/actions by CJD Intelligence Unit employees like that engaged in by [REDACTED] regarding his search of #blacklivesmatter postings." It was simply an "isolated incident," she concluded.
While its conclusion leaves something to be desired, the report is significant. The public rarely gets a glimpse into the inner workings of fusion centers or other police intelligence operations. Anyone who has ever participated in organizing or activism has a good idea that the police are watching, but it's hard to catch them in the act. Every day across the United States, similarly situated agents, analysts, and officers are probably conducting similar searches and compiling similar memos for their superiors. It was probably the unusual facts of this case that prompted the Attorney General to take action, suspending the agent in question and commissioning an independent investigation.
Unfortunately, her response to the illegal political surveillance was the only unusual thing about the whole affair.

Bodine Street House
710 North Bodine Street
I have a history about a house in Northern Liberties which I would like to share with you. Around 1985, I received a desperate call in the Northern Liberties office that there was a bulldozer in front of this Bodine Street home, and the city was getting ready to tear it down. I made many frantic phone calls and they stopped the demolition. However, it wasn't enough just to save the house – it had to be renovated.
At that time, we were working closely with the Office of Housing and Community Development, saving houses in Northern Liberties for rehab. They agreed that if we could find a developer, they would help restore the house. Because of its many original features, we had to make sure it wasn't gutted, but that someone would actually restore it. It was with the help of Providence that an architect (John Burris by name) who specialized in historic restoration took over the project and he and a contractor not only saved it but brought it back to its original beauty. It was then sold to a low income person, who appreciated the original qualities of the house.
And that's not all: in April, 1988, a magazine titled "Country Home" featured the same house in one of their articles entitled, "On The Streets of Philadelphia". There are pictures of the beautiful original architecture, including mantels, doors and woodwork.
And so, this house went from bulldozer to beautification in the span of less than five years.
Oh yes, when I wrote to the editor of "Country Home" to tell her of the coincidence, I discovered that it was Jean LemMon, who was from my hometown of Proctor, Minnesota.
Well, that's my story, and I'm stuck with it.

Black Girl (Criterion Collection)
Genre: Drama-Classics, Foreign-French
4K Mastering, Full Frame, Special Edition, Restored
Ousmane Sembene (Xala, Faat Kine) was one of the greatest and most groundbreaking filmmakers who ever lived, as well as the most internationally renowned African director of the twentieth century but his name deserves to be better known in the rest of the world. He made his feature debut in 1966 with the brilliant and stirring Black Girl. Sembene, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal, transforms a deceptively simple plot about a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white couple and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a prison, both figuratively and literally into a complexly layered critique of the lingering colonialist mind-set of a supposedly post-colonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by M'Bissine Therese Diop, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement and one of the essential films of the 1960s.
DISC FEATURES:
New 4K digital restoration, undertaken by The Film Foundation's World Cinema Project in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
4K restoration of the short film Borom sarret, director Ousmane Sembène's acclaimed 1963 debut

Netflix considers Fortnite video game a bigger threat than HBO
A trio of platforms is due to arrive later this year, with different prices and features. The question then is whether HBO will be as easy to downplay.

According to Netflix, HBO is less of a threat than the popular video game, Fortnite. (Fortnite)
The HBO network, now part of AT&T Inc.'s media-and-telecom empire, is often touted as one of Netflix Inc.'s biggest foes.
Both companies are vying for TV subscribers, and they're frequent rivals in award competitions, including the Emmys. HBO plans to boost its programming budget in a bid to lure more viewers.
But according to Netflix, HBO is less of a threat than a video game: Fortnite.
"We compete with (and lose to) Fortnite more than HBO," Netflix said in a letter to shareholders Thursday. "There are thousands of competitors in this highly fragmented market vying to entertain consumers."
AT&T plans to make HBO an anchor for a set of new streaming services, Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson has said. A trio of platforms is due to arrive later this year, with different prices and features. The question then is whether HBO will be as easy to downplay.
