Liverpool lucky, Arsenal profited from Bobby Madley's low confidence, Mark Halsey's Ref Review
Posted on September 28, 2017 in Features
It proved to be perhaps the busiest weekend of the Premier League for officials, and not just those with the whistle. Assistants and even fourth officials come under Mark Halsey's spotlight, the ex-Premier League referee and youaretheref.com expert is back to look at the weekend's action…
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur (Michael Oliver)
When you look at the red card, Michael's cautioned him for persistent infringing the laws of the game. Michael tried to manage the game and I thought he managed Aurier well, he could have cautioned him earlier but you tend to set your tolerance levels a bit higher in a derby match.
Michael was right to caution him because he kept giving away small fouls throughout the match. He's told him the next time he commits a foul he'll be cautioned, then six or seven minutes, to put in a reckless challenge where it's virtually impossible for him to win the ball, he's asking for trouble.
Nine times out of ten you'll always be cautioned and you didn't see any complaints from anybody, he knew he was going to be shown a second yellow card.
I thought Michael was in a poor position for the late penalty appeal, he's looking through players and doesn't have a clear view. Had he been more central he would have seen the push and awarded the penalty.
The melee at the end was created by Michael, he didn't slow the game down and we've had this conversation about Michael last week. It was a lack of awareness of what was going on around him, you need to calm the players down and Michael didn't do that. I think Hernandez got away with it because he showed the most aggressive attitude towards an opponent but Michael needed to be more pro-active in recognising the temperature of the game.
Burnley vs Huddersfield Town (Chris Kavanagh)
I thought Chris picked up the diving incident well and it was a nice game to ease him into his Premier League career.
He'll have tougher games in his career but you can't criticise him for that, he did a good job. Sean Dyche was unhappy but there's nothing we can do about instant penalising for diving or simulation until VAR is brought in, all we can do for now is to look at it after a game.
It can be unfortunate that a team could benefit and another lose out from that incident but the whole law needs changing first.
Everton vs Bournemouth (Martin Atkinson)
I think Francis was lucky that Martin missed the elbow on Wayne Rooney, I thought he led with his arm in a reckless manner that endangered the player's safety with excessive force.
When you're jumping for a ball from behind an opponent, you don't jump like that and lead with your elbow do you? I think Simon Francis is lucky that Martin didn't send him off, personally I think he got away with one.
It's not been looked at by the FA who probably think it was an accident.
Southampton vs Manchester United (Mike Jones)
It was very, very poor management of the technical area by Mike Jones. I emailed Jose after the game and he said he had half a foot on the pitch to talk to Ander Herrera.
If Mike Jones had called me over for that at that stage of the game I'd have told him in no uncertain terms where to get off. It was very poor man management from Mike Jones, 30 seconds to go and he's got half a foot on the pitch, so what?
All you've got to do is shout him and tell him to move back, you could see from Craig's body language he didn't want to put him up in the stands but he had to stand by his fourth official.
You can see the FA agree with me because they've taken no further action. Managers like Jurgen Klopp get away with murder, the way he berates match officials isn't good for the game and they need to come down on him.
Leicester City vs Liverpool (Anthony Taylor)
They were right to rule out the offside goal, although I must say watching it live I thought they'd got it wrong. Okazaki is onside but it's Harry Maguire who is offside and Adam Nunn got the offside decision right.
I thought Leicester's goal should have been disallowed, there was a foul on Mignolet for me. I think the Leicester player knew what he was doing, but like with Michael Olivier, Anthony is in the wrong position on the corner of the box and can't see through the players.
But he was spot on with the penalty for the home side, Mignolet might get a small touch on the ball but he's wiped Vardy out and he was correct to only show him a caution too. But straight after that there's another incident with the handball against Can and that was a penalty for me too.
Can's made a deliberate movement towards the ball but the other assistant, Gary Beswick, has to be braver and step in and help Anthony there. Overall, I think Anthony did ok but his assistant has let him down on the handball.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United (Andre Marriner)
I said at the time that it wasn't an accident and Hemed knew exactly what he was doing. He'd been clattered earlier on and was seeking retribution. If it's an accident then he goes back and apologises but he shows no remorse whatsoever and the FA have quite rightly charged him for violent conduct and subsequently handed the striker a three match suspension.
I didn't see a problem with Brighton's goal as Rafael Benitez did, nothing there stood out to me as a foul at the time.
Arsenal vs West Brom (Bobby Madley)
This was never a difficult game for the match officials but the decision making wasn't what it should have been. The assistants carried out their job well but Bobby Madley made significant errors which affected their match control.
The first incident is a clear penalty for West Brom on Jay Rodriguez, people are saying he should have stayed down but he got up because there was no whistle. Bobby didn't play advantage, he didn't signal for an advantage and only he can tell us why he didn't give a penalty.
He's got a clear view and for me that's really poor. Everyone's saying he's played advantage but he hasn't, when you play advantage you signal straight away. It was an easy decision but maybe he wasn't switched on, he gave a free-kick to Alexis which wasn't a free-kick and I think Bobby is lacking confidence at the moment.
He sent two players off incorrectly in a game earlier this season so something's not right there, everything we do is about confidence. On Arsenal's penalty, you run the risk and I do think that's a penalty to be honest, but he's missed another clearer one on Alexis earlier in the game when he has his shirt pulled.
Dawson was lucky to stay on too, he went through the back of a player late on when he'd already been cautioned and I think it shows Bobby has no self-belief in his decision making at the moment.

the McLoughlin Promenade in Oregon City.
Not many people can claim to have achieved something on a bike that no one else has. 72-year old Alan Koch is now one of them.
As of last week, Koch, a retired aerial photographer for the U.S. Forest Service, has ridden every public road in Portland, Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard, King City, Durham, Tualatin, Sherwood, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Fairview, Wood Village, Troutdale, Gresham, Happy Valley, Milwaukie, Damascus, Clackamas, Gladstone, and Oregon City.
Back in 2007, I shared Alan's story after he completed the Portland portion of his feat. Last week he put the finishing touches on what was always his ultimate quest: To ride all the roads in the 19 contiguous cities surrounding Portland (except Vancouver).
On one of the last sunny and dry fall days of the year, I joined Alan in Oregon City as he pedaled his green Bianchi Volpe those last few miles.
As my bus pulled into the Oregon City Transit Center, I could see Alan waiting on the corner with his bike. He was just as I'd remembered him five years ago; slender and fit, wearing dark aviator glasses (from his flying days) and dressed in a tucked-in white t-shirt and bermuda shorts held up with a leather belt.
We chatted a bit before setting off on the ride.
After recounting a few close calls he had on his way over (which led him to say, "So, we're good for the rest of the day"), Alan admitted he'd been "slacking off" in his quest lately. His wife Gloria (they celebrated 50 years of marriage this summer) has serious health problems so he likes to stay close to home in case she needs him. With Gloria's health weighing heavily on his mind, Alan's managed only about one ride a week lately. But he hasn't wavered on his commitment to his goal.
The odometer on his current bike reads 8,166 miles; and he figures he's put in an additional 1,500 miles onto other bikes.
Alan says Oregon City has been one of the more interesting places he's ridden. "But the hills have been tough," he said in an understatement. Our ride last week began with a ride on the Oregon City Municipal Elevator and a cruise along the McLoughlin Promenade high above the Willamette River with views of the historic Arch Bridge and the defunct paper mill.
"I wanted to keep moving," Alan said when I asked why he took on this project. While exercise was certainly a motivator, as I followed his wheel I realized he also loves the adventure, exploration, and discovery.
When he hears a road mentioned in the newspaper or in conversation, it often sparks a specific memory of actually being there. It's like he has an entire atlas imprinted into his mind and his muscle memory.
He marks ridden streets with black pen.
There's been a social element to his journey as well. Alan told me he started looking up old friends online and then calling them up, out-of-the-blue, when he'd be biking by their house. "I hadn't seen this guy in 30 years, but I figured I'd stop and say hi since I was biking by." He also has an email list and he sends out a message keeping friends and family posted after every 1,000 miles ridden.
Coincidentally, given this ending location, Alan has already found his next pursuit. He's volunteering with a grassroots web service called Find a Grave. To stoke his adventurous spirit and his love of photography, Alan will be head out to cemeteries around the region to photograph headstones and help catalog the names and their locations.
…now onto Vancouver and beyond!!!!
Wow. Congrats Alan. Great idea.
Awesome story! Jonathan, I think you mean defunct paper mill in Oregon City, not sawmill.
Nice story ! Congratulations Alan !
I hope that's me at age 72!
This is so cool. I feel like a moldy old sack of flour after reading this.
Thanks for the inspiration, Alan. You set a fairly big goal and pulled it off. And, thanks Jonathan for finding and reporting this story. I'm inspired!
Congratulations on such a major accomplishment Alan! I look forward to your next adventure and photo series!
Thanks for the inspiration, Alan!


A classic switch has one input and one output. It can be NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed).
A NC/NO switch has one input and two outputs and consequently 2 possible actions.
Christophe, APEM Switch Product Manager, demonstrates the interest of choosing a switch with a NC/NO function.
With a NC/NO switch, there are two output types: one switching and another non-switching.
This double function is interesting in many applications, but let's take a concrete example: a Push-to-talk headset. One single switch allows control of headphones and microphone. When the switch is not activated, the headphones are active, you can hear your interlocutor. By activating the switch, you turn the headphones off and activate the microphone, allowing you to communicate info on your turn.
With the NC/NO function, the switch becomes multifunction.
A single switch allows for 3 electric configurations: NC, NO and NC/NO. This allows optimization of equipment design and purchasing.
A NC/NO switch also provides a redundancy function. It allows to verify the good operation of the system and consequently of the equipment on which it is mounted. This is a real advantage in applications where safety is crucial (medical or military equipment).
Miniaturizing this function is hard, that is why it is rare on the tact switch market. Our engineers have developed a specific dome shape allowing to keep the circuit closed when non-switching.
The Multimec 5 series tactile switch is available with a NC/NO function and a life of 1 million cycles.

Teen TikTok Ads
|In Adolescent News, Brand Thinking, Gen Z

Are you looking to expand your reach and target youth? Are you wondering how to tap into the ever-expansive TikTok market? How do you advertise on TikTok anyways?
According to Oberlo, 41% of TikTok's 800 million active users are aged 16-24. Out of all users, 9 in 10 report using the app on a daily basis, spending an average of 52 minutes per day on the app. In other words, TikTok is a phenomenal platform to target teenage consumers because not only are they a large share of the platform, but they're extremely active and always looking at new content.
The first and most official way to advertise through TikTok is to partner with the platform directly. Under the TikTok Ads dashboard, you can create a campaign and personalize with keywords, ad placement choices, and parameters for target audiences. You can also partner with TikTok to start a sponsored hashtag challenge, whereby users are encouraged to create content under your brand's hashtags. However, working directly with TikTok can cost anywhere from $500 to thousands of dollars, so it may not be the best option if you're a smaller brand.
Similar to Instagram, TikTok also has its own variety of influencers. With nearly 80 million followers and counting, TikTok's most popular influencer Charli D'Amelio reportedly makes $25,000 per video, although brands usually pay anywhere from $200 to $20,000 per post depending on the influencer's following. This is definitely a viable option as Gen Zers have been proven to trust influencers and fellow peers the most when making purchasing decisions.
The last option is one that takes much more work and resilience, but can have a huge payoff without spending a dime. You can try advertising to teens on TikTok by creating a viral video. How do videos go viral on TikTok? The algorithm works in that your video will appear in a limited amount of users' feeds. If there's enough engagement (such as likes, comments, shares, or rewatches), TikTok will then release the video to show up on even more people's feeds. This continues until a video is "viral." If there isn't enough engagement, the video simply stops showing up on people's feeds. Therefore, creating a viral video takes plenty of trial and error until you get the level of engagement that will bring you more viewers. Some ways to create an engaging video are to utilize hashtags, tailor trends to advertise your product in some way, and post consistently!
Overall, there are a variety of avenues a brand can take in order to successfully advertise to teens on TikTok. Adolescent Content, a global youth-led marketing agency, boasts a roster of talented filmmakers and content creators who can help your brand. Check out our website to get started!

Boucheron is the most audacious of traditional French jewellers. The watch and jewelry making segments have existed for over 150 years, while the perfume segment began in 1988 and it has 18 editions of different fragrances.
Boucheron was the first House of jewellery and watchmaking to establish on the famous Place Vendôme in Paris in 1893. Legend has it that he chose 26 Place Vendôme, where Boucheron remains to this day, because it was the sunniest corner of the square. He believed that the diamonds in the windows would sparkle all the more brilliantly.
The House also pioneered the use of new materials in its collections and launch innovative products such as the wrist watch with interchangeable straps. For over 150 years, Boucheron has been a trend-setter in the elite world of high jewellery, acquiring an international reputation in the process.
A Gucci Group subsidiary since 2000, Boucheron manufactures and markets jewellery, watches and luxury fragrances across the world. The watch and jewelry making segments have existed for over 150 years, while the perfume segment began in 1988 and it has 18 editions of different fragrances.
Currently there are more than 50 Boucheron boutiques worldwide world (Paris, Cannes, Saint-Tropez (France), Monaco, London, San Francisco, Tokyo, Saitama, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Okayama, Nagoya, Taipei, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Baku, Moscow, and Almaty), as well as an online store available in Europe and in the US catering for jewellery and watchmaking connoisseurs worldwide.
Czar Alexander III was a client, as was his son, the doomed Nicholas II. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother was especially fond of her Boucheron tiara which she inherited from Lady Greville, who originally purchased it from the House. Her grandson Prince Charles passed the tiara on to his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall as a wedding gift. Queen Elizabeth of England also has a collection of Boucheron jewels as did Wallis Simpson the Duchess of Windsor.
Americans are also collectors of Boucheron creations. Household names like the Astors, the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers have returned again and again to the House of Boucheron for exceptional pieces of High Jewelry. One American bride to be, Mary Ethel Burns, in preparation of becoming Lady Harcourt, turned to Boucheron to create the jewelry for her wedding trousseau. After her marriage Lady Harcourt was a faithful Boucheron client commissioning a number of pieces, including tiaras, necklaces and bracelets throughout her lifetime.
Actors, royalty and artists have also been fans of Boucheron since it opened its doors 150 years ago. Caroline Otero, the temptresses known as La Belle Otero, when she was a cabaret dancer at the turn of the 19th century was a Boucheron enthusiast as was the famed theater actress Sarah Bernhardt and the writers Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust. While film stars including Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich also bejeweled themselves with Boucheron. More recently celebrities like Eva Longoria, Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kristin Scott Thomas, Rachel Weisz and Diane Kruger have all come under the Boucheron spell of spectacular creations.

Q: Unable to turn off eslint no-unused-expressions I have created an app with create-react-app and I have applied the airbnb rules. The app also contains redux and flow.
The following code is throwing the no-unused-expressions error in eslint:
const reducer = (state: string = '', action: Action) => {
    switch (action.type) {
        // cases
        default:
            (action: empty); // this is throwing eslint/no-unused-expressions
            return state;
    }
};

I am trying to switch off the rule in eslintrc in order to replace it with flowtype/no-unused-expressions
content of my .eslintrc.yml
extends:
    - airbnb
parser: babel-eslint
env:
    browser: true
    jest: true
globals:
    SyntheticEvent: true,
rules:
    no-unused-expressions: off
    react/prefer-stateless-function: off
    react/jsx-filename-extension: off
    react/jsx-one-expression-per-line: off

With this settings, the no-unused-expressions error is not shown anymore in the editor (vscode). However as soon as I compile with npm run start the error is still there:
Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression  no-unused-expressions

causing it to fail to compile.
Of course if I disable locally eslint for that rule for example with
// eslint-disable-line no-unused-expressions

Everything is working in both the editor and the browser. However, as I said I am trying to replace the eslint rule with the flowtype one exactly to avoid to be obliged to disable eslint every time I am using a flow type assertion.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Link of the project on github if you want to play with it

A: The scripts included with react-scripts specifically do not read overrides from eslintrc files. The reasoning is explained in an issue comment:

I don't think it would be a good solution. We aggressively show lint violations (in browser for errors, in console for warnings), and so we didn't include any style rules in the config.
I think style rules should be handled completely separately, before you commit. They shouldn't distract you during development or be loud in browser or terminal.

I think the idea is that you are free to use your own eslint configuration to add style rules specific to your project that you check during development; but the build and start will not look at it, and will stick to the conservative rule set bundled with react-scripts instead. The fact that you have found a case where those conservative rules interfere with your workflow probably deserves an issue report with create-react-app.
I think that the easiest solution is to use the // eslint-disable-line no-unused-expressions line, as you mentioned. But there are a couple of other options. You can modify the expression to convince eslint that it is not unused, or you can use a tool like patch-package to modify react-scripts' Webpack configuration so that it reads your custom eslint configuration.
Convince eslint that the expression is used
The eslint configuration that react-scripts uses is in node_modules/eslint-config-react-app/index.js. You can see that it sets some exceptions to the no-unused-expressions rule:
'no-unused-expressions': [
  'error',
  {
    allowShortCircuit: true,
    allowTernary: true,
    allowTaggedTemplates: true,
  },
],

Ternary expressions are allowed. You can combine the type assertion with a function call (which should never run because action should always be truthy):
(action: empty) || noop();

Patch react-scripts' Webpack configuration
You can see the code that react-scripts uses to run eslint in node_modules/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.dev.js and again in node_modules/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.dev.js:
// First, run the linter.
// It's important to do this before Babel processes the JS.
{
  test: /\.(js|mjs|jsx)$/,
  enforce: 'pre',
  use: [
    {
      options: {
        formatter: require.resolve('react-dev-utils/eslintFormatter'),
        eslintPath: require.resolve('eslint'),
        // @remove-on-eject-begin
        baseConfig: {
          extends: [require.resolve('eslint-config-react-app')],
          settings: { react: { version: '999.999.999' } },
        },
        ignore: false,
        useEslintrc: false,
        // @remove-on-eject-end
      },
      loader: require.resolve('eslint-loader'),
    },
  ],
  include: paths.appSrc,
},

To use your custom configuration you need to change the line useEslintrc: false to useEslintrc: true in both files. Then use patch-package to automatically reapply that change whenever react-scripts is installed or updated. Add this script to the scripts section in package.json:
"scripts": {
  "prepare": "patch-package"
}

Install patch-package, and postinstall-prepare to make sure that yarn runs the that prepare script:
$ yarn add --dev patch-package postinstall-prepare

After editing the Webpack configuration files run this command to save a patch (note that the yarn commands above will have reverted your changes, so make the same changes again before running this step):
$ yarn patch-package react-scripts

That will create a file with a name like patches/react-scripts+2.1.1.patch. You should check this file into version control.

A: As Jesse pointed out in his answer it looks like ignoring .eslintrc is something done intentionally by the react scripts.
I have been able to achieve my goal by ejecting and removing the eslintConfig section added by the reject script to the package.json .. however I feel that it would be better to disable eslint inline and avoid ejecting

A: This resolved it for me for react-scripts:4.0.1

*

*Remove the eslintConfig from your package.json file.
It should be under your scripts key value.

*Now, just add an .eslintrc.js in the root of your project with this configuration in it:
module.exports = {
  extends: ["react-app", "react-app/jest"],
  overrides: [
    {
      "files": ["**/*.js?(x)"],
      "rules": {
          "no-unused-vars": [1, { "vars": "all", "args": "after-used", "ignoreRestSiblings": false }]
      }
    }
  ]
}

You can also do "no-unused-vars": [0] which will turn off linting for unused vars

*After adding this, you can restart your server.
react-scripts will detect that you have an .eslintrc file in the root of your project and will override the defaults with those in that file.

Tanzania to auction 30 hunting blocks
By Edith Mutethya in Nairobi, Kenya | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2021-01-13 16:02
The government of Tanzania plans to auction 30 hunting blocks within game reserves, game controlled areas and open areas.
In a statement in its website, Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority said it is inviting applications from qualified applicants for the allocation of the tourist hunting blocks through electronic auctioning.
The authority said the auction will commence on Feb 8 and will last for seven consecutive days.
"Eligible hunting companies can be allocated up to five hunting blocks each, which shall be of different categories," the authority said.
Any person who wants to qualify for a hunting block must have a company registered with the Registar of Companies within Tanzania and intend to engage in animal hunting, according to the Wildlife Conservation Act.
The company also must have at least one director with five years' experience in wildlife-based business and conservation in Tanzania.
Initially, the auction was to take place on March 5 last year but was postponed until further notice due to concerns by some stakeholders.


Got a question or comment about Transport in Raleigh? Ask a Travel Expert!
While it is possible to walk in Raleigh within certain districts, especially in the central downtown area, a car is highly recommended. Raleigh is a big and spread out city, although navigating the area by car is relatively straightforward. The GoRaleigh, Cary Transit (C-Tran), R-LINE, and Wolfline bus systems provide riders with an extensive network of local routes. When in need of a taxi, it is best to call ahead for one, as it can be difficult to hail taxis on the street.


Celiac disease can develop at any time during life. A person can test negative at age 55 but then have full-blown celiac disease at age 60. You can be diagnosed when you are 9 months old or 99 years old.
You can have undiagnosed celiac disease and be overweight or obese. People of any body shape can develop it. Most adults are not extremely thin at the time of diagnosis, contrary to popular belief.
Celiac disease can affect just about any part of the body, including the brain, reproductive system, bones, liver, joints, skin, and teeth. Many people with celiac disease do not have digestive symptoms, instead suffering from symptoms like arthritis, nerve inflammation (neuropathy), headaches, difficulty getting pregnant, and elevated liver enzymes. It can take years, and even decades, to get a firm diagnosis (I personally experienced this).
Once a person has been on the GF diet for > 2 weeks, celiac antibody blood testing is pretty much useless—patients need to be eating gluten on a regular basis in order for celiac antibodies to be detected in blood. The same goes for endoscopy and small bowel biopsy.
When a patient is diagnosed with celiac disease, all first degree family members (siblings, parents, and/or children) should also be screened, as they are at a much higher risk than the general population. Second degree relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents) should also consider screening.
Many people with celiac disease continue to have symptoms even after months on the GF diet (called non-responsive celiac disease, NRCD). The most common cause of continued symptoms is ongoing gluten exposure, which is often accidental cross-contamination. Many of the current celiac drugs in development are to help to prevent us from experiencing NRCD.
Over-the-counter gluten-digesting enzymes are not safe for those of us with celiac--they do not break down gluten into small enough pieces to not cause an autoimmune reaction.
I could keep going, but I think you can get the idea…it's possible that through sharing just a few of these facts that you might help someone realize that they need to be tested for celiac. How cool would that be?
-As I posted on my Facebook page, I have recently become a member for the New England Celiac Organization (NECO) and plan to attend some of their meetings in the greater Boston area from time to time. Please email me (thepatientceliac@gmail.com) if you are interested in attending one of the NECO meetings together.
-I recently learned that Melinda Dennis, a well-known celiac dietician and co-author of the book "Real Life with Celiac Disease," will be holding celiac/GF wellness retreats this fall and winter in NH and CA. You can check out her website, www.deletethewheat.com, for more information. I am seriously considering registering for the one in Santa Barbara, especially if this winter is as awful as last winter.
Hello – I love your site and hope you are settling well in Boston, I am in Australia and have relatives in Marblehead :) I am just querying your " coffee does not cross-react with gluten" statement. I have reacted to coffee with the same reactions I get from gluten (I am coeliac). I have the same problem with quinoa. I have read that organic freshly ground coffee beans are safe. Is coffee one of the cross reactivity things that coeliacs respond to differently?
Appreciate this information without all the drama found at other sites. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in September after many tests. I had few symptoms making the find a bit harder. Surgery 2 years ago seems to be what brought it forward. I was losing weight which I enjoyed as I was doing about 2.5 hours a day of physio. A normal annual medical found anemia and I was tired often but still active. A couple other symptoms I never realized were connected to celiac as they were not big deals. I am now gluten free and feeling so much more energy. But while my system wasn't getting all the great nutrients we need, an infection took over and I will now be heading for at least two more surgeries. I can't help but think celiac is perhaps in part why I could not fight off the infection. But I still feel so good and ready to take on the next surgeries knowing I have more nutrients getting into me to fight things off. I enjoyed reading at this site. I am 63 years young.
Forgot to add, I'm 38 years old now, will be 39 in January. My symptoms started shortly after a year old. I had recurrent ear infections beginning before the age of 2. If I actually get a diagnosis, that'll be 37 years? Ugh.
I love your blog, because it's the only one that presents the kind of info that I wish all of my doctors knew!
I have had gut issues for my whole life, but notably, I would "break out in hives" whenever eating oats as a kid. I suspect I probably had an allergy to oats, but not to bread (I wouldn't get the hives with bread). Still, my folks kept me off of oats, religiously, but never questioned my other consistent, recurring complaints about bloating, pain, gas, diarrhea, etc.
I hit puberty late (my sister had her period at 11, I was almost 15). I developed what I think is DH on my buttocks and thighs as a teen (it was super itchy and gross) and remember a boyfriend commenting on it once ("what's that rash?"), but chalked it up to a probable detergent allergy. I went vegetarian because I thought that would fix my gut issues, but it seems like it probably worsened them. I had a two seizures in my early twenties and horrible period pain.
When my son was born (I was 27), I started to figure out that gluten could be the issue. He had an allergy to milk and would react if I had milk and nursed him. He had failure to thrive before the age of 1, so I started really researching gut stuff and realized I probably had celiac. I went and got blood tested and it came back negative, so I continued to stuff my face with bread. At some point, though, I realized that eating gluten was making my periods insanely painful, so I decided to go GF again because of that. I went from debilitating cramps to "oh, is my period happening?". I can't tell you how liberating THAT was!
But I was still just "gluten sensitive", so would cheat about once a month. As long as I didn't cheat too close to my period, I would have a tolerable cycle.
I finally decided to get tested (and am currently doing a gluten challenge) for a few reasons: 1) My son was diagnosed with Crohn's (thankfully, he's in remission through the SCD diet!), 2) we did genetic testing via 23andme and I discovered I'm homozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 (he's DQ2.5 and DQ8 so I'm terrified about type 1 diabetes for him), and 3) I went really strict GF for about 8 months and my vitamin D and triglycerides, which were both pathetically low for a very long time (my vitamin D was 19, my triglycerides were around 39…I've read anything less than 50 is probably a result of fat malabsorption), and finally my triglycerides were at 90.
Here's my question to you: I've read in a couple of places that having DH is an automatically positive test for celiac, you don't have to get the biopsy (but you do need the skin biopsy). But I've also read that the blood testing for celiac is often negative in folks with DH (something like a 40% false negative rate). I'm two weeks into my gluten challenge…I have bumps all over my buttocks and scalp for the first time in years, but they're not insanely itchy (just mildly itchy). I worry that this is actually DH and again, I'll probably have negative blood work for celiac, and I'm worried that skin testing will come up negative. Can I convince my doc to do a endoscopy/biopsy even without positive blood test?
In reply to Deseret Johnson.
Celiac disease can develop at any time and your symptoms (anemia, abdominal pains, etc) may be symptoms of celiac.
You should discuss getting tested with your doctor.
In reply to Kate M.
To the best of my knowledge, asymptomatic but high risk kids are supposed to be screened via celiac antibody testing every 2-3 years starting at age 3-4. This is exactly what we have opted to do for all 4 of our kids.
Thanks so much for reading Lucente! I have been having a lot of problems with this site, so I am glad to see that you were able to read my post. I hope you're doing well.
Thanks Ana! Moving and settling in has been much more stress than I ever imagined, but it is finally starting to feel like home. Thank you so much for reading and I wish the best for you and your family.
Thank you Jess for your words. I couldn´t agree more. All the best at the new home!
Thank you so much for continuing to write and share. It is always so helpful.
I was diagnosed with Celiac in April 2014, my father in July 2014, and my sister last month. We had my son screened at 3, and he tested negative. My daughter is turning two, and I am planning to have her screened. How often should I re-screen my children when they test negative? My pediatrician has been resistant to re-testing, as he feels my children don't have symptoms (but you could have said that about me for the majority of the 33 years that I went undiagnosed). Would love your thoughts on this issue!
Hello! I'm 17 and have been doing lots of reading on celiac disease lately. I haven't been tested or diagnosed yet, but I've been sick with stomach pain for weeks now. Two years ago I was diagnosed with severe anemia and as I've been doing research I have many of the symptoms listed. I think it's very probable that I have this! Most of them (including this constant stomach pain) started the begging of September. I've run cross country since I was a freshmen, but I feel that many of my symptom are worse when I run hard (lately anyway). Do you know if running hard would affect celiac disease at all? Do you think I could really just all of a sudden get it? I'd love to hear your opinion! Thanks!
I would love to meet up with you at one of the meetings. Which ones have you been attending?
Next up on my list is the one in Reading.
Looking forward to meeting you (hopefully).
Thank you so much. It's so nice to know that you, and many others, are still out there and reading after my long blogging break. Thank you for sharing my post. And please let me know if you have any ideas for topics for future posts.
I've been going to NECO meetings recently. They're excellent. Love to have you! There's one tonight in Needham.


It's what we used to say to make 'noise' on stage. A generic blurbling; all sound, no fury.
There's been a bit of blurbling going on over here too. It's good noise.
I may have dropped a hint at the close of last year about some good things percolating. This is about one of them (no Mum, don't get too excited, I'm not pregnant – yet).
But I am baking something.
I think it's at the point where it's ok to talk about it in public.
Am pretty chuffed to say I'm working on my first book. It will be published by Ryland Peters Small and should be on shelves early next year.
It's going to be a lot like this blog; collections of recipes and stories gathered from around the world. It's going to be about how you can feel at home when you're away. It's going to be about how you can have a mini break from the comfort of your kitchen.
It's 95 per cent new material- and all stuff I'm thrilled to share.
The Hungry One has been hard at work taste testing. It's a job he feels he was born for.
Scanning through the recipe list the other day I noticed an emphasis on chocolate, pork (sometimes even together), chorizo and cherries.
'That's not surprising' he said when I raised it. 'You know they're my favourite things'.
As the chief tester he may have had some inadvertent sway over what makes it into the book.
(In fact, he confessed the first iteration of the schnitzels I was working on were great- he only made me re test and tweak them five times so he could have them for dinner every night for a week).
But this little corner of the internet remains all mine.
And this is a cake of my choice. It's a celebration of the flavours I love- the tang of rhubarb and plum, the mild sweetness of yogurt and the lightness my favourite Spanish almond cake.
It's a creation that's a little like me, mildly sweet, a touch tart and gussied up with a few too many layers.
Then there's the prettiness of the plums bedded into the top and the sticky glee of the rhubarb slurry in the centre. Instead of thigh gilding cream to stick it all together there's the gentle squelch of yogurt. It's the perfect thing for a chat among ladies, or a mother's day dessert.
It's a cake that was born for a celebration.
Right now I've got enough time for a quick cup of tea and a slice.
Then I've got to get back to work. I've got a book to finish.
1 cup of rhubarb and raspberry compote (place7 stems of rhubarb, cut into matchstick lengths, 1 cup of raspberries, 1/2 cup of caster sugar and 3 tablespoons of orange juice in a baking tray covered in foil in a150 C oven for an hour and a half. Strain some of the juice. Fork apart the rhubarb and softened berries. Also excellent on granola).
2 x 23cm cake tins (or 1 and make the cake twice). Baking paper. 2 bowls. Electric whisk. Blow torch/over head grill. Spatula.
1 Preheat oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Butter the sides of one 23cm 9in diameter, spring-form cake tin. Line the bottoms and side with baking parchment. If you have two cake tins, prepare both tins and make a double mix at the same time.
2 Put the egg whites into a bowl with the pinch of salt. Use the electric beaters to whisk until you get soft peaks. Rain in half of the sugar, a tablespoon at a time. Whisk until half of the sugar is absorbed and the mix is stiff and shiny.
4. Whisk the yolks in a separate bowl with the remaining sugar until thick and fluffy.
5. Mix the ground almonds into the egg yolks and sugar mix. Then gently fold in the whites.
6. To make the plain almond cake, pour the batter into the cake mix and bake for 45 minutes until the cake is firm.
7. To make the plum upside down cake, repeat the above steps until just before pouring the batter in. Place the plum slices in a circle on the bottom of the cake tin.
8. Pour the batter over the top. Bake for 45 minutes and then allow to cook for 10 minutes in the tin.
8. Invert the cake so the plums are on the top. Sprinkle with icing sugar and then use a blow torch or 5 minutes under an overhead grill to caramelise the plums.
9. Top the bottom cake with the rhubarb and then with yogurt.
10. Then gently sandwich the bottom cake with the plum cake.
11. Share with people you love.
Congrats, Tors! Great news! P.S. I am so cooking this cake!
I'm loving the beautiful looking cakes you are posting at the moment.
I want to bake them all once my marathon imposed diet ends!!
Congratulations Tori, that is amazing news! You certainly deserve it, I love your writing and your recipes. This is a grand cake to celebrate with.
How exciting- I love the concept of your book! The cake looks fantastic, and I can't wait for rhubarb to come into the market.
What a beautiful cake for a well deserved celebration! Congratulations and thanks for sharing! You have a very nice blog and I'm glad to have found you.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!! Tori so excited for you – brilliant news. I hope we will be able to get it in Oz. PS the cake looks truly excellent.
Congrats on your book deal. That is so exciting. Well done! And your cake looks SO perfect.
How wonderfully fantastic. Congratulations Tori. Totally cool. And, umm, *what* a recipe. Love the whole combination.

Move Over 2 States: This North Meets South Wedding Is Better Than A Bollywood Movie!
Manvi Malhotra | Apr 5, 2018
Born in New York in the middle of winter, Neha could not be more different from Adithya who was born on a hot Sunday afternoon in Madras (now Chennai)! A passionate dancer, an animal lover and a lover of all things Bollywood, Neha had been planning her dream wedding since she was a young girl. In fact, her vision was to get married in Disneyland, in front of the Disney Castle!
On the other hand, brought up in a home surrounded by artists and architects, Adithya had always enjoyed creative pursuits from a young age. As a boy, he even did magic shows for up to 200 people at a time. After two degrees in architecture, he now works in real estate strategy in Singapore. However, in contrast to Neha, he was actually quite scared of getting married!
How these two got together is a mystery everyone is still trying to solve. Just like the two states of Punjab and Tamil Nadu, Neha and Adithya could not be more different, but they are a testament to the old saying that opposites attract. Here's the story of their wedding, captured beautifully in pictures by Fotowalle - The Story Folks.
Over a surprise staycation with a beautiful view of the sea, high on a rooftop bar, a very nervous Adithya asked Neha to be his girlfriend for life. Yes, you heard that right, girlfriend for life! They have always believed that husband and wife are such heavy titles for each other, and decided to be boyfriends and girlfriends for life.
After a bunch of photos, calls to family and a few much-needed drinks, he took her to another restaurant for dinner. Hang on, that's not all! At the restaurant, a whole bunch of her family and best friends were waiting with balloons and champagne to celebrate the newly engaged couple!
South Indian and North Indian wedding traditions are completely different, and everyone was stumped as to how this could be pulled off. Besides family in New Delhi and Chennai, a number of folks from Singapore, USA, London, Australia and the Middle East were slated to attend their wedding.
After hours of brainstorming, numerous conference calls and multiple visits to properties in India and Singapore, the couple and their families decided on the lovely beachside Sheraton Resort & Spa in Hua Hin, Thailand. Located on a pristine beach along the southern border of Thailand, Hua Hin is a hidden gem.
Featuring outstanding Thai hospitality, a number of diverse venues within the property and great weather for outdoor photo shoots, it had everything they wanted.
Neha's vision for the wedding had always been a play in duality, a blend of traditional and modern, a melange of the north and the south, a delicate weave of family and friends, and above all, a celebration of true love. She worked tirelessly for months to ensure every single event was done just right, right down to the detail of what was printed on the straws that came along with the cocktails at the bar.
Outfit by Astha Narang
The festivities were kicked off with a welcome dinner, with guests sporting a blend of north and south Indian wear, dancing to music from across India, a celebration of traditional colours inspired by a beachside theme. In fact, even the bar menu had two cocktails specially crafted by Neha - The Tamil Toddy and the Punjabi Pataka, inspired by flavours from these regions.
Bride's floral dress from Forever New
After a good nights sleep, guests woke up to a mehendi pool party, where everyone was dressed in sunny beachside wear, sporting fancy hats and letting go of colourful balloons against the clear skies of Hua Hin. Sipping an ice cold Chang by the poolside with all your loved ones, what more could one ask for?
Outfit by Anushree Reddy
Hang on, the best is yet to come. Held in the beautiful Chandelier ballroom, the sangeet ceremony was kicked off by a surprise dance to Kala Chashma by both families. Neha had designed the entire event to reflect the grandeur of Indian Royalty, in a modern context.
She also choreographed the entire sangeet featuring 10 dances followed by a royal feast and an after party that had the entire crowd dancing away till 5 am!
In a floral pink mandap constructed by the seaside, the wedding was simply the most scenic of all the events. As the sun set, Neha walked down a flower-strewn path surrounded by her closest family and friends into the next chapter of her life.
The decor for all the functions was done by PeeraPach and was outstanding! The ceremony itself was a beautiful blend of both Punjabi and Tamil wedding customs, with both the Pheras and the Thali playing an equally important role.
Outfit by Frontier Bazar
Neha wore a stunning blush pink lehenga for her big day. Her make-up was done by Simran Takkar.
Draped in silver, with a roomful of guests dressed in the most classy outfits, the reception was a beautiful close to a fantastic weekend nobody will ever forget.
At the end of the day, North Indian or South Indian, friends or family, Indian or western, everything blended into one memory filled with love, happiness and ecstasy for all who attended. In fact, none of these distinctions mattered anymore, because North had met South that weekend.
Well, we are totally in love with the couple, their families and their gorgeous wedding celebrations. We wish them lots of love and happiness in their married life!

 Hi all, When it comes to music, it literally rules my life.
Dave has been DJing since the early '80s, but it wasn't until the mid 90's that he became interested in radio presenting. Dave loved and respected all types of good music, right from as far back as the classic '50s through to the indie pop right up to modern dance, house, breakbeat, latin jazz and soul.

Hi all,
My name is Dave Marley.
When it comes to music, it literally rules my life. I have been DJing since the early '80s, but it wasn't until the mid 90's that I became interested in radio presenting. I love and respect all types of good music, right from as far back as the classic '50s through to the indie-pop '90s. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy much of what music had to offer after the '90s ended.
I grew up listening to the radio as a young lad and started collecting vinyl at the mere age of 5 years old in the early '70s. I would save my pocket money up to buy records as often as possible, and even now, 50 years on, I still collect music and I'm running out of space to put my vinyl collection
I was always a massive fan of the original "Pick of the Pop" presented by the late Alan "Fluff" Freeman back in the day, and I always wanted to take a stab at doing my own take on a vintage chart countdown radio show. So here it is.. I will be doing just that right here on this station, with my show "The Classic Chart Rundown". I'll be bringing you a random Top 20 Chart countdown from anywhere between 1957 to 1989. It's a real nostalgia trip every time and if you're like me, a true lover of music, it won't take you long to fall in love with the show and all the personal memories it holds for every individual.
I hope you can join me from time to time.
If you would like to catch up with me on Facebook, come and join "The Classic Chart Rundown" group.

My name is Sandy M
Being a child of the 70s, I began to take notice of chart music at around the age of 5 or 6 years old, which would have been the early 80s. Like many of my school friends I would be glued to the radio as often as possible hoping to hear my favourite records. I used to visit the local record shop with my mum from a very early age, which is where my music collection began.
Over the years, I have collected many different types of music. Now I have the opportunity to share some of that music with you, here on your favourite station. My show includes weekly features such as..
"RETRO REWIND" "TIME TUNNEL" & "SANDY M's 12"INCH FINISH"
I hope you can join me from time to time right here each week.
I look forward to sharing some great music from across all the decades.

Here in America, the Tuning Fork brand has had plenty of success with its 2012 Yamaha YZF-R1. Paired with the technical savvy of Graves Motorsports and riding talent of Superbike racer, Josh Hayes, it's proven to be the machine to beat in the AMA ranks.
Swinging a leg over it reveals a more 'classic' feel to it as compared to the competition. It's one of the larger bikes in the test, however the seating position is functional, windscreen tall, and the ability to adjust the position of the foot controls is a great feature, too. Despite shedding a number of pounds courtesy the Graves titanium exhaust, it still weighs 464 pounds (second heaviest) with a full tank of gas (4.8 gallon).
Since it's so hefty, it's no secret that the R1 demands more muscle to get turned. Still the front end offers pinpoint accuracy and goes exactly where the rider desires. Once pointed, we were caught off guard by just how well it tracked mid-corner.
(Top) AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport rider Devon McDonough aboard the 2012 Yamaha R1. (Center) The Yamaha YZF-R1 is significantly down on power in the liter-bike class even with the fitment of a Graves racing pipes. (Below) Despite an excellent chassis set-up the Yamaha had the lowest average corner speed.
Looking at the R1's maximum flick rate as measured from Turns 11/12/13 (low-to-medium speed left-right-left chicane) proves that it takes more time for it to change direction from side-to-side. It posted the third-slowest number (39.6 degrees/second) behind the Ducati and Kawasaki. Though once leaned over the Yamaha instills a fair amount of trust with it recording the third-highest lean angle degree of 50.0 down The Cyclone (Turn 5).
While each one of our test riders was pleased with how the R1 felt at lean, it consistently posted some of the slowest corner speeds in Turns 2, 6 and 14. When averaged it was ranked the lowest which hurt it on the scorecard. It's strange because Yamaha arrived at Thunderhill with a near perfect set-up with the front and rear suspension working in total unison offering excellent balance and pitch control. But since it carries around more mass and pumps out the least amount of power, it isn't much of a surprise that it is a little off pace in the corners.
Right off the bottom the R1 pumps out a mellow spread of power. It fourth-lowest peak torque figure of 76.07 lb-ft. But the real problem is how far down it is in terms of horsepower as it cranks out between 10 and 26 horses less than the competition. It is worth noting, however, that peak power arrives relatively early for an Inline Four (148.55 horsepower at 11,900 revs). The addition of the Graves pipe also allows power to stay on longer, as compared to stock, before the rev limiter shuts things down 1700 rpm later. This gives the rider a wee bit more flexibility in regards to whether to upshift or just hold a gear in some situations.
Based on the results at the dyno, it isn't much of a surprise that the R1 posted the second-lowest acceleration force numbers off Turn 6 and Turn 15 (0.75g and 0.63g). It also registered the lowest top speed down the front straightaway (155.9 mph) and third-lowest mph down the back straight (142.9).
Of all the bikes in this contest, the R1 arguably had the most to gain out of the fitment of a quickshifter. With it added the R1's drivetrain performed flawlessly with the transmission exuding a precise feel. Another plus is the short shift lever throw as well as the near perfect slipper clutch calibration.
(Top) Waheed said that the R1 was the most fun to ride. Though it lacks the outright performance to run up front with the competition. (Center) The Yamaha was one of the heaviest-steering bikes in this test. (Below) The R1 tied the BMW as having the highest maximum braking force proving the effectiveness of its brakes.
Although the R1's brakes don't offer the greatest feel, they do offer tremendous stopping power plus they are about as consistent-feeling as sportbike brakes come. The anchors were rated third-best on our rider's notepads and also indicated the most amount of g force on the computer screen at the entry of Turns 10 and 14 (-1.42g and -1.41g).
The numbers don't lie and in Superpole the Yamaha was the second-slowest bike for Siglin and the slowest for the author. Although the R1 didn't blow us away with its speed there wasn't one rider who didn't enjoy riding the Yamaha. All of our testers couldn't stop talking about how much of a blast it was to ride and how cool it sounded with the Graves pipes. Problem is that this test is all about performance, and more outright performance is what this machine needs if it is going to run up front.

Woody Allen's lawyer blames Mia Farrow for sex…
Woody Allen's lawyer blames Mia Farrow for sex abuse allegations
February 3, 2014 at 2:32 p.m.
Woody Allen's lawyer appears to be blaming Mia Farrow for sexual abuse allegations from the former couple's adopted daughter.
According to the Huffington Post, Elkan Abramowitz has responded with a statement to Dylan Farrow's open letter that ran in the New York Times on Saturday, in which she discussed Allen allegedly molesting her more than 20 years ago when she was 7 years old.
"It is tragic that after 20 years a story engineered by a vengeful lover resurfaces after it was fully vetted and rejected by independent authorities," Abramowitz wrote. "The one to blame for Dylan's distress is neither Dylan nor Woody Allen." According to Abramowitz, Allen will be personally responding "very soon," as he "has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful."
Dylan Farrow's allegations first surfaced during Allen's 1993 custody battle with former partner Mia Farrow. Allen was never prosecuted for the accusations. The issue has come to light over the past few months, after Mia and son Ronan Farrow criticized Allen after he was honored with the Cecille B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes on Jan. 12.

This is my entry to the first pre-challenge of Nails Next Top Nail Artist competition 2016, sponsored by CND.
I immediately tought of my school when I read the title "Creative play." I attented to Steiner school, where art and culture are present all the time. The usage of different art materials was part of our daily curriculum; water colors, aquarells, pastels and oil paints, of which oil paints and aquarelles are closest to my heart. Luckily gel paints are similar to oil paints in many ways, so I got to choose some of my favourite artists to be part of my project, like Van Gogh and Monet.
I think of the whole history of art as a continuum, never ending creative play. I decided to create a linear history of art on these five nail tips, starting from a cave painting and ending in modern surrealism. I enjoyed working with this project very much, although it was really challenging to create water marbling, since nail polish isn't my strongest area. This work also reminded me why I love nail art so much, I fell into my stress free zone as I painted such highly detailed and colorful paintings. That's why I keep on playing.
The cave men used to put their hands on the rock and blow pigmented dust around the hand. Draw a hand on a nail form with a permanent marker, cover it with a piece of tape and cut it to make a hand template. Tape it on the nail and blow and pat pigment around it. Paint the animals and layer gel paint to create the cliff (as seen in the picture of the finished work).
The base of the jade stone is made by tapping gold gel paint on the nail with cellophane. Cure the paint and add top coat.
Fill a bowl with warm water and put drops of black nail polish in it. Then spray the polish with some hair spray. Hair spray breakes the surface and all you have to do is to dip your nail in the polish. Let the polish dry and seal it with top coat.
The Egyptian statue is made with multiple layers of gel paint. Add shadows and painted details. Add matte top coat to get the sandstone effect.
Gel paint acts like oil paints in so many ways, it is thick and easily blended. This Claude Monet painting is made by using multiple layers of gel paints. As base I used lavender after which I continued with blue tones. I worked my way to greens and then to lighter colors.
Vincent van Gogh was also an oil painter. First I painted the blue and yellow base. Then I made the light yellow base for the flowers.
To get some authentic look to your nail add a crisscross of gel paint on the background.
Paint the details with strong pigmented colors.
I started my Magritte painting like the other paintings, with strong background colors. Use a sponge to make the clouds in the sky. Dip the sponge in dark paint and pat it on the nail.
Pay attention to the details, especially to the shadows.
You nailed the cave painting! Love it!

Christophe Le Mével, né le  à Lannion, est un coureur cycliste français, professionnel de 2002 à 2014. Il a remporté une étape du Tour d'Italie 2005 et le Tour du Haut-Var en 2010, et s'est classé neuvième du Tour de France 2009.

Biographie

Jeunesse et carrière amateur
Christophe Le Mével commence à pratique le VTT et le cyclisme sur route à 14 ans au sein du Vélo-Vert lanionnais. Il fait ensuite partie de l'Union cycliste briochine, puis de l'équipe Jean Floc'h-Mantes en 2000. En 2001, il intègre l'équipe Crédit agricole espoirs. Avec cette équipe, il gagne la Ronde de l'Isard d'Ariège et dispute notamment le Tour des régions italiennes, remporté par Yaroslav Popovych et dont il prend la cinquième place, et le Tour de l'Avenir, où il prend une troisième place d'étape. En fin de saison, il est sélectionné en équipe de France des moins de 23 ans pour les championnats du monde à Lisbonne au Portugal. Il se classe quatorzième de la course en ligne de sa catégorie, gagnée elle aussi par Popovych. Il termine l'année à la neuvième place du classement UCI des moins de 23 ans.

Débuts professionnels dans l'équipe Crédit agricole

Christophe Le Mével devient coureur professionnel en 2002 dans l'équipe Crédit agricole. En mai, une chute lors des Quatre Jours de Dunkerque lui cause une section du nerf sciatique. Il ne peut plus courir durant cette saison. De retour à la compétition en 2003, il obtient cette année-là une deuxième place d'étape lors de la Route du Sud, derrière Ludovic Turpin. Il finit également meilleur grimpeur du Tour de l'avenir.

En 2004, il termine à la troisième place du Tour de l'Avenir derrière Sylvain Calzati et Thomas Lövkvist, après avoir notamment obtenu la deuxième place de l'étape arrivant au Grand-Bornand, battu par le Suédois Lövkvist. Le mois suivant, il dispute avec l'équipe de France la course en ligne des championnats du monde à Vérone en Italie. Il attaque seul durant le premier tour de course, puis est rejoint par le Russe Vladimir Efimkin. Les deux coureurs font la course en tête et comptent jusqu'à sept minutes d'avance à mi-course, après neuf tours de circuit, puis sont repris après . Christophe Le Mével ne termine pas la course.

En 2005, il dispute ses premiers grands tours, le Tour d'Italie et le Tour d'Espagne. Lors de ce Giro, où il a un rôle de coéquipier pour Pietro Caucchioli, il décroche sa première victoire professionnelle en remportant la  du Tour d'Italie, entre Lissone et Varazze. C'est à l'occasion de ce Tour d'Italie qu'il rencontre Laura, une hôtesse italienne qui allait devenir son épouse. En fin de saison, il participe pour la deuxième fois aux championnats du monde, à Madrid en Espagne. Il est avec Laurent Brochard l'un des deux seuls coureurs parmi les douze composant l'équipe de France l'année précédente à y être sélectionné en 2005.

En 2006, Le Mével dispute son premier Tour de France, qu'il termine à la  du classement général. Échappé en compagnie de Yaroslav Popovych, Alessandro Ballan et Óscar Freire lors de la , il en prend la quatrième place à Carcassonne. En fin de saison, il se classe  et meilleur Français de la course en ligne des championnats du monde de cyclisme à Salzbourg en Autriche.

Lors de la quinzième étape du Tour de France 2007, il chute et se fracture la clavicule.

2009-2010 : deux saisons à la Française des jeux
Resté fidèle au Crédit agricole jusqu'en 2008, il s'engage pour deux saisons avec l'équipe La Française des jeux en août 2008. Il se révèle bon grimpeur et termine dixième de Paris-Nice, du Critérium du Dauphiné libéré et du Tour de France en 2009.

En 2010, il remporte la deuxième étape et le classement général du Tour du Haut-Var. Il s'agit de sa première victoire depuis près de cinq ans.  Après un Tour de France 2010 en deçà de ses espérances ( du classement général) malgré un statut de co-leader de l'équipe FDJ avec Sandy Casar, il se montre davantage en forme sur le Tour d'Espagne 2010 qu'il termine à la  du classement général.

2011-2012 : chez Garmin
En 2011, il est recruté par l'équipe américaine Garmin-Cervélo. Il termine neuvième de la Flèche wallonne et commence le Tour d'Italie par plusieurs classements dans les dix premiers des sept premières étapes. Il termine quatorzième de ce Tour d'Italie.

Septième du Tour de Toscane remporté par son coéquipier Dan Martin en juin, il dispute ensuite les championnats de France à Boulogne-sur-Mer. Il ne dispute pas le Tour de France en juillet, son programme de fin de saison comprenant le Tour d'Espagne et quelques courses italiennes.

L'année suivante, Garmin-Cervélo devient Garmin-Barracuda puis Garmin-Sharp à partir du Tour de France. Le Mével décide de focaliser sa saison sur la Grande Boucle.

Classements mondiaux
Jusqu'en 2004, le classement UCI concerne tous les coureurs ayant obtenu des points lors de courses du calendrier international de l'Union cycliste internationale (324 courses en 2004). En 2005, l'UCI ProTour et les circuits continentaux sont créés, ayant chacun leur classement. De 2005 à 2008, le classement de l'UCI ProTour classe les coureurs membres d'équipes ProTour en fonction des points qu'ils ont obtenus lors des courses du calendrier UCI ProTour, soit 28 courses en 2005, 27 en 2006, 26 en 2007. En 2008, le calendrier du ProTour est réduit à 15 courses en raison du conflit entre l'UCI et les organisateurs de plusieurs courses majeures. Les trois grands tours, Paris-Roubaix, la Flèche wallonne, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, le Tour de Lombardie, Tirreno-Adriatico et Paris-Nice ne sont donc pas pris en compte dans le classement ProTour 2008. En 2009 et 2010, un « classement mondial UCI » remplace le classement ProTour. Il prend en compte les points inscrits lors des courses ProTour et des courses qui n'en font plus partie, regroupées dans un « calendrier historique », soit au total 24 courses en 2009 et 26 en 2010. Ce nouveau classement prend en compte les coureurs des équipes continentales professionnelles. En 2011, l'UCI ProTour devient l'UCI World Tour et reprend dans son calendrier les courses qui l'avaient quitté en 2008. Il comprend 27 courses en 2011 et son classement ne concerne plus que les coureurs membres des 18 équipes ProTeam.

Israel to open Gaza checkpoint
Opening of Karm Abu Salim will allow stranded Palestinians in Sinai to return.
The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza has been closed by Israel since June 9 [AP]
The decision came a day after angry protests by the stranded Palestinians, who have complained of neglect at the hands of both the Egyptian government and the Palestinian emergency cabinet.
Hamas condemned the opening of the Karm Abu Salim crossing and said it would not allow it.
Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, speaking to Al Jazeera on Monday, said: "Talking about opening Karm Abu Salim crossing targets the movement [Hamas] and all the resistance forces."
Amr El-Kahky reports on the Palestinians stranded at Rafah
"This serves economic objectives for the Israeli occupation authorities and for some Palestinian Authority leaders."
Abu Zuhri said other solutions could be found to resolve the issue and that Hamas was willing to re-open the Rafah crossing.
Riyad al-Malki, information minister in Mahmoud Abbas' emergency government, blamed Hamas for keeping the Palestinians in Egypt.
Al-Malki and other ministers of the Fatah-aligned Palestinian president's government visited on Sunday the Palestinians who have been stranded in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula for nearly a month.
He said: "Hamas wants to keep the Palestinians suffering as long as possible and use it as a political gain."
'Priority'
The information minister met Palestinians in the Sinai cities of Rafah and el-Arish, telling them that they are considered "one of most important priorities of the new government", and promised that they would work to allow them to return home.
Demonstrators in el-Arish yelled at the visiting delegation, shouting slogans including: "We don't want Fatah or Hamas, we just want to get out of here."
The Rafah border terminal on the Egyptian-Gaza Strip border has been closed since June 9. Egyptian security officials estimate that 4,000 Palestinians are stranded in the Sinai.
