Buckhannon in third for 'Coolest Small Town'
February 10, 2014
BUCKHANNON — Not only did Buckhannon make the top 15 in the first round of Budget Travel's Coolest Small Town Contest, but the rural city is currently in third place in the second and final round o......
Magnum & John: The idiots who run Buckhannon lack the common sense to look at Bridgeport and Clarksburg, or even Lewis County around the I79 interchange, to see what's attracting customers to those areas. They have a variety of restaurants, shops and other stores that carry what people want, unlike Buckhannon that has very little to offer shoppers. Unless you are a drunk, or eat pizza three meals a day, or happen to be passing through and need a motel room, there's nothing there. The town council has about as much vision as a blind person when it comes to drawing new business to the area. These people are a bunch of crotchety old gargoyles that couldn't care less about keeping business at home. And that pot belly pig Ron Pugh has the attitude of Lou Grant and the intelligence of Mrs. Piggy. He was a real addition to the collection of clowns at city hall. No wonder no one wants to locate their business in Buckhannon. I guess I'll continue buying off the internet.

I'm puzzled. What the heck does Buckhannon have that would give them such a status? main Street is lined with junk stores that offer nothing to tourist, and certainly nothing for the people who live there. You can't even buy a pair of Lee jeans in Buckhannon. Main Street has a collection of shops that come and go on a regular basis. One moves in, another moves out, and the cycle continues. There's nothing in Buckhannon of particular interest to most people, and the city council doesn't have any motivation to bring in new businesses that would keep local shoppers in Buckhannon. I'll be darned if I can understand it. I wonder how many times each one of the nitwits running the town voted from it.

I have lived in Buckhannon most of my life and I can't see anything cool at all other than the weather in the past month or so. If it takes bars and pizza shops to make a place cool, well I guess we are cool. We have a corrupt city Police Dept along with a very corrupt county commission. If they want to see cool go to Elkins. Elkins has it all.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue's win over Penn State could be summed up by two words - freshmen and defense.
Freshman Ronnie Johnson scored 13 points to help Purdue defeat Penn State, 60-42, on Sunday. Another freshman, A.J. Hammons, had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Rapheal Davis, a third newcomer, added 10 points in just his second start for the Boilermakers (8-8, 2-2 Big Ten).
The freshmen know what might lie ahead.
"We always talk about the future," Johnson, a point guard, said. "We've just got to stick to the course. Once these next few years come, it's going to be our time."
Purdue coach Matt Painter said Hammons, a 7-foot, 280-pound center, has the potential to be a special player if he embraces his size. He had five blocks on Sunday and constantly bothered Penn State inside.
"When he's at the basket and he gets big and just walls people up, he gives us an advantage," Painter said.
Senior D.J. Byrd chipped in 12 points for Purdue, which was coming off double-digit losses to ranked foes Michigan State and Ohio State, held Penn State (8-8, 0-4) to 26 percent shooting.
Painter said Hammons and Johnson have their flaws, but they are improving rapidly.
"A.J. Hammons and Ronnie, especially, have been able to play through their mistakes," Painter said. "That definitely helps. Most freshmen don't get to play through their mistakes because other guys are in place."
Davis earned the start on Sunday by playing hard in the previous games.
"When guys are out there and they're more productive and they're playing harder and they're trying to do what we're asking them to do, I think they need to be rewarded," Painter said. "I just tried to play the guys that gave us the best chance to win, and he was of them.
Penn State has lost four straight and has failed to score more than 54 points in any of those games. The Nittany Lions shot a season-low field-goal percentage for the third straight game and posted a season-low point total.
"If you make shots, the game becomes very, very simple," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said, "and for whatever reason, we are not making shots right now. We're finding our way."
Penn State has struggled to score without Tim Frazier, who went down with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in the fourth game of the season against Akron. He averaged nearly 19 points last season and averaged nearly 22 points in the three games he completed before he was hurt.
No one stepped up for Penn State's offense on Sunday. D.J. Newbill, who entered Sunday averaging 15.3 points per game, finished with nine points on 3-for-12 shooting with Johnson bothering him for most of the game. Brandon Taylor led Penn State with 11 points, but he was the only Nittany Lion to score in double figures, and he was shut out in the second half.
"When your two best players are not producing, it's going to be a challenge to score, and that's why you see 42 points," Chambers said.
Without Frazier to worry about, the Boilermakers felt comfortable putting more pressure on Penn State's guards.
"We just wanted to get up to them and disrupt to the best of our ability and kind of wear them down, kind of like a boxing match, just try to stay there with them bringing the ball up the court," Painter said.
Purdue outrebounded the Nittany Lions 42-33, allowing the Boilermakers to get away with 10-for-21 shooting from the free-throw line.
Purdue led 21-19 before making a run to close the first half. Byrd hit a 3-pointer, then Hammons dropped in a hook to give the Boilermakers a 28-19 lead with 43 seconds left in the half. The Boilermakers went up 30-19 before Penn State's Taylor hit a 3-pointer from just beyond half-court to make it 30-22 at the break.
Taylor scored all 11 of his points in the first half, but his shot before halftime was Penn State's first field goal since the 5:25 mark of the first half. The Nittany Lions shot 8 for 30 from the field before the break.
Purdue didn't make a field goal for nearly six minutes to start the second half, but Johnson scored two quick buckets to push Purdue's lead back to 36-26.
A putback by Byrd, then a 3-pointer by Byrd and a layup by Johnson pushed Purdue's lead to 49-30 and forced Penn State to call timeout with 7:34 remaining. The Boilermakers remained comfortably ahead from there.

They've played 47 Super Bowls, and no quarterback has won more than Terry Bradshaw's four.
Hey, Bud, I've got a question for you.
The Georgia GymDogs were on the beam Saturday night.
It's happened.
Thank you, Joe Flacco.
Chris Ault isn't going to the Super Bowl.
Why weren't they paying attention?
It is a new year, and while most everyone else's thoughts are on the new year and the resolutions they have made, my thoughts are mostly on Daytona and the start of the race season.
Bowl season is very exciting. Host cities want excitement to lure fans in droves, teams want it to build momentum for next season, and bowl-game sponsors want it to spike sales.
You read that headline correctly. Saturday's SEC Championship Game between No. 2 Alabama (11-1, 7-1) and No. 3 Georgia (11-1, 7-1) has been dubbed a "play-in" for the right to face media darling Notre Dame in the BCS national championship.
It's Thanksgiving and time to count our many blessings, SEC Banter style. Join me as we give thanks for the traditions that make the SEC the nation's finest football conference.
Alabama's loss to "Johnny Football" and his Texas A&M Aggies leaves the SEC with no undefeated teams and, according to the national experts, the SEC's streak of consecutive national titles will end at six.
It's been a while since we toured the conference from Alabama to Vanderbilt and, with no marquee matchups teed up for Saturday, let's do just that. Here's a rundown of this week's action, SEC Banter style.
One of the most anticipated matchups of the season takes place Saturday night as No. 1 Alabama (8-0, 5-0 SEC) rolls into Baton Rouge to take on No. 5 LSU (7-1, 3-1 SEC) in Tiger Stadium. Ever since Nick Saban bolted from the bayou for the NFL, failed, then returned to the college ranks at Alabama, this annual tussle has evolved into the SEC West's most intense game and one of the country's premier rivalries.
The most meaningful rivalry in the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division is meaningful again. After years of teetering on the brink of an afterthought, the fizz in the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" is back as Georgia and Florida order up another round at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday in The River City.
Page 9 of 19
An old coaching adage holds that teams see the most improvement early in the season, their identities steeled by a few games' experience.

Freeride progression
This is a round up of shots of me freeriding.
Any helpful advice to help me improve my riding or things to be aware of are welcome.
I put a similar vid up at the start of the season and got some really useful tips.
My ego can take it and I am determined to improve so don't be shy;).
pretty much, although I do ride some groomed runs to get to the powder:D.
looks fine to me. just go faster off everything and you'll go bigger but as you get more comfortable you will. the thing is on alot of that stuff if you went way bigger you'd actually find a better landing.
you might widen your stance. it looks better on video and it looks like you want it wider by the way you're standing sometimes.
so ya just maybe turn a little less, take it down the fall line more, and blast those hits going really fast :D
Yea. Share the powder! lol
keep your hands closer to your body while riding and widen your stance a little
Agree with Snowolf, most of the improvements you can make will just come with riding more over time. Once you get to the advanced level it's all about making fine-tweaks. You don't make leaps and bounds of progression as a rider, but your riding become more refined, stylized and consistent.
Looks good to me :thumbsup:
Powder much? :D Looks like really light powder, nice!
Thanks a lot guys.
Firstly on stance I am 6ft tall and I was at 22.5" in most of these shots and the board is posi camber.
Its not in the vid, but I am now riding a 157 proto CT as my main board and I stand at 23". I have another board plus 40cm days.
I like the 23" stance better it feels lower and more controlled.
What are your stance widths?
Do you recommend I go wider still?
My arms are definitely quieter than at the start of this season thanks to your advice before and I will keep working on getting them quieter.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
I love to turn and send up big clouds of powder, will work on making a few less and more smooth turns.
I could definitely take a lot more speed into those jumps and even purposefully shed some speed because there are some large trees not too far from the landing area. If you went very big and lost control on the landing it could be lights out.
Still I can definitely safely take it up a notch or two and I have gone quite a bit bigger on that main one, but its not on film.
Will try to keep a little more leg flex in the air.
I now have in total over a 4 year period about 80 days on the snow and I am pretty happy with the level I am riding at in that space of time.
Next season I am going to go for 50 days as I realize more time on the snow is the key to improving. I am going to get some lessons too just need to find the right person to teach me.
Powder season is over here, but watching this vid reminds me of the powder hit.
Nothing quite like the Japanese white room:D its so light and fluffy and as you can see its easy to send up clouds way above my head height:D:D.
if you go faster you'll go bigger and you'll have more time in the air and you can grab and it will fix your legs automatically :D:D see, it's all full circle.
i'm about 5'10", 150# and i ride a 23.5" stance on a 155 Heritage. one thing you should have noticed about the rockered board is that even in pow you have alot more freedom to pump weight onto the nose of your board for speed. do this.
if you pretty much only ride powder then get your stance to a point where you can put weight onto the nose without sinking and leave it there. you shouldnt have to lean back all the time.
if you start going way fast off everything you'll be going bigger than that vid on stuff that looks like a much smaller feature then those abrupt kinda things you were hitting. look for the long, safe, drop-out landings and you'll be going 30ft. off of natural rollers.
i am not against turning per se - and i have logged serious time in the white room. i just try not to turn at the cost of speed, so sometimes that means straightlining it to a point where i can throw my slash and gain back my speed out of it. on flat stuff you won't really catch me swishing about.
as far as stance and form just play around with it. if you want to be an aggressive freerider then watch some video of Blauvelt and Pat Moore before you go shred next time and channel their style.

The singer split from husband Mike Comrie in January, and she says the change hasn't been easy.
"I'm separated from my husband right now, which has been a very difficult thing to go through, but we have a lot of love for each other and we have this beautiful baby," Duff, 26, tells Billboard.
She has been working on new music and admits there's a song on her upcoming album "about my separation and my love for this person, that maybe we're not meant to be together, or maybe we are. It's very, very personal."
Duff's album is her first in seven years, and she does some daring things with it – she sports a bikini in her new video, "Chasing the Sun," and collaborates with Ed Sheeran, the latter of which made her nervous, she admits.
"It was amazing to have him there and to have him be so involved. And it scared the s––– out of me too."
The former Disney star said that music began to call to her again when she was pregnant with son Luca, 2.
"I was about to give birth, I was actually pregnant, and I had, like, two months to go – I was a house walking around – and I just started writing a lot out of nowhere. I don't know if it was because I was hormonal and emotional, but I started writing and I took it as a sign that I'm missing that part of my life."

Obama: Take CEO Complaints With 'Grain of Salt'
President Barack Obama in an interview with the Economist said his administration's policies have been broadly friendly toward business and any complaints from CEOs should be taken "with a grain of salt."
"I think you'd have to say that we've managed the economy pretty well and business has done okay," Mr. Obama told the publication in an interview published over the weekend. The president cited a record stock market, strong corporate profits, steady job growth, a falling federal deficit, a booming energy sector and other signs of a healthier economy.
Mr. Obama said: "Since I have come into office, there's almost no economic metric by which you couldn't say that the U.S. economy is better and that corporate bottom lines are better. None."
(Mr. Obama made a similar comment to CNBC last month, and his interviewer noted that median family incomes were lower, not higher, than when Mr. Obama took office.)
CHARTS: Have Most Economic Indicators Improved Under President Obama?
The White House's relationship with businesses has often been strained, with new financial regulations and the troubled rollout of new health-care rules drawing objections from the private sector.
Mr. Obama said chief executives "always complain about regulation. That's their job."
But he defended new financial rules, embodied in the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, saying they may cut into some corporate profit centers but they also help maintain a stable global financial system. On the health-care law, Mr. Obama acknowledged that implementation of the law has been "messy" but said more people are now insured and medical inflation is at a historically low level.
The president tried to turn the table on businesses, saying they should take a more active role lobbying for issues such as climate change. Businesses have taken a positive role in the immigration-overhaul debate, he added.
Mr. Obama also weighed in on a number of other global issues, including:
Vladimir Putin: "Russia I think has always had a Janus-like quality, both looking east and west, and I think President Putin represents a deep strain in Russia that is probably harmful to Russia over the long term, but in the short term can be politically popular at home and very troublesome abroad."
China: "You also have to be pretty firm with them, because they will push as hard as they can until they meet resistance. They're not sentimental, and they are not interested in abstractions. And so simple appeals to international norms are insufficient. There have to be mechanisms both to be tough with them when we think that they're breaching international norms, but also to show them the potential benefits over the long term."
Wealth: "Oftentimes, you'll hear some hedge-fund manager say, 'Oh, he's just trying to stir class resentment'. No. Feel free to keep your house in the Hamptons and your corporate jet, etc. I'm not concerned about how you're living. I am concerned about making sure that we have a system in which the ordinary person who is working hard and is being responsible can get ahead… "

Zac Efron must be drinking light beer.
The former High School Musical star shows off his fit torso, including washboard abs and perfect pecs, in a new still from his upcoming movie Neighbors.
The 25-year-old plays the head of a frat house who doesn't exactly get along with the couple next door (played by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) in the comedy, which is due out next May.
Rogen admits his costar is a good-looking man.
"Zac Efron is incredibly handsome," he said at an event in May. "I did a scene with him, and we're both shirtless, and it was a very humbling experience. I marveled at the fact that we're literally the same species."

The city of New Orleans aims to show the world just how far it has come in seven and a half years since Hurricane Katrina when Super Bowl XLVII comes to town this week.
"My hope is it can help bring some real closure here, and that the city can show what it can do," said James Carville, the former presidential campaign strategist who is co-chairman of the city's Super Bowl host committee. "Sometimes I wake up at night and say if this thing goes well, this can really help people put a lot of things behind 'em."
New Orleans' population is back to 80 percent of what it was before the region was ravaged in 2005 by the costliest natural disaster in United States history. More than 200,000 homes were destroyed, and the city saw its citizenry fall from its pre-storm total of 452,000 to 223,338.
Now it's back up to 360,740, according to the U.S. Census.
New Orleans has been bolstered by federal government spending of almost $20 billion on public works contracts, with much of it going to rebuild levees that failed during the hurricane.
"Actually we're the fastest growing city in America, but that is in large part because we dropped so low," Carville said. "But the population has moved back. My description of the city is that 40 percent is actually better than it was before the storm, and 40 percent is getting better, and 20 percent is struggling."
"I always say the Five Fs of Louisiana are faith, family, food, football and fixing flats," Carville said. "Football is a very essential part of our culture, and hosting big events are part of our culture. We're excited to have everybody coming back to our city."
New Orleans knows how to throw a party, thanks to a couple of centuries of practice with the annual Mardi Gras festival. This marks the 10th time the Super Bowl has come to the Big Easy, tying it with Miami for the most in the game's history. It's the first New Orleans Super Bowl since 2002.
The matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens comes with plenty of historical implications.
It's the first time two brothers will coach against each other in the NFL championship. Jim Harbaugh's 49ers are 4-point favorites over John Harbaugh's Ravens.
"We're gonna have 80,422 Harbaugh stories," Carville said. "But I was telling a friend of mine, you can't overhype that. Two brothers coaching against each other in the Super Bowl? That's just a big story. I'm sorry, it just is."
San Francisco, which is 5-0 in the Super Bowl and last won in 1995, can join Pittsburgh as the only six-time Lombardi Trophy winner. The Ravens are seeking their second Super Bowl title, to go with their victory in the 2000 season. The city of Baltimore also claimed a Super Bowl in the 1971 season, when it was represented by the Colts.
An average of about 110 million television viewers are expected for the game. CBS is charging an average of $3.8 million for 30-second commercials. Alicia Keys will sing the National Anthem and Beyonce will perform at halftime.
The venue — the Mercedes Benz Superdome — was a shelter of last resort during Hurricane Katrina and was closed for more than a year for repairs. It underwent a $320 million renovation, which included new aluminum panel-siding that returned the stadium to its original champagne-bronze color.
But that was only a fraction of the city's repairs. The airport underwent a $305 million renovation, the convention center was rebuilt for $93 million and the trolley system was enhanced.
New Orleans is eager to show it all off to roughly 150,000 visitors this week.
"You're not just visiting a city, you're visiting a culture," Carville said. "You're visiting a place that, unlike any other city in the world, has its own music; it has its own food; we have our own funerals; we have our own social structure; we have our own body of literature; we have our own architecture. And we want you to enjoy all of these things."
"On the day of what I call the Engineering Failure — you call it Katrina — there were 809 restaurants in this area," Carville said. "Today there are 1,330."
New Orleans also has the nation's highest murder rate. There were 193 people murdered in 2012, or 53 per 100,000. (Buffalo had about 19 per 100,000 in 2012.)
"We do have a high murder rate," Carville said. "Unfortunately, it's a kinda thing where 85 percent of the shooters know the victim. … Where the Superdome is, you're gonna be as safe as you're gonna be in any city in the world. … Our downtown area is as safe as being in Indianapolis or any other place."
For the Super Bowl, the Department of Homeland Security joins the law enforcement presence.
"We're going to have 1,200 officers on duty, particularly around the hospitality area," said Mark Romig, host committee spokesman.

Easy to order. No gluten! Yummy flavors!
533 S. Howard Ave., Tampa, FL 33606
The food was excellent and the staff were all friendly and knew what was gluten-free. That was too difficult because besides the tortilla, it all was.
304 W. 34th St., New York, NY 10001
pretty good food. fresh and yum. GF aware staff and reasonably priced
539 E. Grand River, East Lansing, MI 48823
The staff wiped down the countertops and changed their gloves and all utensils, and tasted delicious!
6415 N. Illinois St., Fairview Heights, IL 62208
Eat here once to twice a week, never any issues. They will change out utensils and wipe counters as well as gloves. Super accommodating!
2011 Colonial Ave SW, Roanoke, VA 24015
Awesome! Thanks for providing options
237 Boston Post Road West, Marlborough, MA 01752
This place is great! My brother who has severe celiac has never gotten sick here and they always change their gloves and wipe down the counter immediately. Their service is great and my brother and I love the tacos and bowls! This location is probably the best one I've been to.
3380 SW Cedar Hills, Beaverton, OR 97005
Good food health and taste good.
This is the first bad experience I've had at any chipotle. I told the guy I have Celiac and I'm gluten free and asked if he could change gloves and he looked at me like I was nuts. My food was a mess and poured out of the container into my bag and they didn't give me a corn tortilla I asked for. Won't be back to this one again and I love chipotle. Very disappointing.
425 E. Bell Rd., Suite 140, Phoenix, AZ 85023
They are the best! Never been sick here & they are well trained to change gloves & utensils. They are very nice about it too ;)
4829 N Broadway St, Knoxville, TN 37918
Staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and changed gloves and washed their hands prior to making my meal. They also had a separate container for the items they reach into with gloves on. Very impressed!
232 OFarrell, San Francisco, CA 94102
CROSS CONTAMINATION! You cannot claim to be gluten free when you use the same gloves you touched the tortillas! The salad and everything that they use the gloves with is therefore cross contaminated. Sorry, but Chipotle is NOT a gluten free restaurant.
14120 Bear Valley Rd., Victorville, CA 92392
Have been here twice since dx and have not had any issues.
14120 Bear Valley Rd., Victorville, CA 92392
Have been here twice since dx and have not had any issues.
1418 66th Street N, St. Petersburg, FL 33710
This place is one of my regulars. They are always happy to change their gloves and utensils. I get the "bowl" and don't have issues 👍 YUM!
1775 University Dr., Coral Springs, FL 33071
I would give 0 stars if possible. The manager was AWFUL and totally rude, said there was nothing there I could eat and basically wouldn't serve me. She said it was highly likely that all their food was contaminated somehow. Stay away!!!!!
6079 ParkCenter Circle, Columbus, OH 43017
Great food and if you ask them to change their gloves before serving your food, they gladly do it. My celiac daughter has never had a reaction at Chipotle.
265 Loudon Rd #2, Concord, NH 03301
They are very allergy friendly there and take great care to prevent cross contact
1255 S. Kirkwood Rd., Kirkwood, MO 63122
Fantastic and always up to my standards!!!!
9120 SW Hall Blvd., Unit D, Beaverton, OR 97223
always great. Fast, friendly, delicious.
7300 N 10th St #30, McAllen, TX 78504
Absolutely delicious. They have wraps, not sure if it is gluten free, and bowls of items you choose cafeteria style in a modern day appeal.
901 N Leavitt Rd, Amherst, OH 44001
Went to Amherst,Ohio location and they looked at me like a grew a second head. Since I have a slight sensitivity I didn't throw a cow but all I can saw is wow!!!
1551 Valley West Dr., Suite 224, West Des Moines, IA 50266
I got a salad. The staff immediately washed their hands and changed gloves. They pulled the cheese from a fresh container. The one thing they could have done better is to have pulled the lettuce from a new bag.
5754 Lindero Canyon Rd., Westlake Village, CA 91362~
This used to be a great location, but I've noticed that the quality and customer service has gone downhill in the last several months; inconsistent quantities with each order and rude, abrupt cashiers sometimes. Also--do NOT order the salad without making sure the worker has changed their gloves! They also handle flour tortillas and stick their hands in the lettuce right afterward. Just got glutened that way today..my mistake :((
1922 Niles Cortland Rd. SE, Warren, OH 44484
I have allergies with gluten, milk products, tomatoes, and eggs. Everyone was very helpful and the food was delicious. I will definitely go back.
269 Amsterdam, New York City, NY 10023
It's chipotle. What else do you need to know. They are very accommodating about changing their gloves, which is good. I would trust this place for celiacs.
1715 North Town East Blvd., Mesquite, TX 75150
I can be confident that I eat any bowl and be safe. Love it, and the food is delicious!
1115 Coronado Drive, Blue Springs, MO 64014
One of the better tasting Chipotles I've been to, portion is definately skimpy in comparison to other stores. Guy working the starting station was super rude and acted like an idiot, so I doubt having him make everything safe for me was something he'd comprehend, hopefully I don't get sick. Would have walked out if the kiddos weren't starving and we hadn't waited the 30 mins to order. Not from this area (traveling thru), so marking it as a no stop on our list.
8460 Edgewater Dr, Oakland, CA 94621
No problems or issues with food. Delicious
2504 Highway 6, Grand Junction, CO 81505
At first the staff seemed to not understand what I meant by celiac and gluten free. However the more I come to this location the more employees are aware of their process. Washing hands, changing gloves and I request that they change the spoons of the first 3 rice, beans and meat. In Denver they used to change every spoon but I find the first 3 seems sufficient, but if you are extra sensitive you may request more. Staff is always understanding and kind.
1153 Freeport Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15215
I have been to some hit or miss chipolte's and this location is the best by far. One of the managers has a severe gluten allergy, so all staff seem to be well trained and happy to help. Not only do they change gloves but they also wash and sanitize their hands. They also change out all of the spoons and get the lettuce and cheese from the back.
97 N. Cattlemen Road, Sarasota, FL 34243
Most chipotles will change all the serving utensils this one didn't, but the same person did the entire order. Lets see how it goes?
323 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M5B 1R7
Have been to this location many times and the staff have been great about changing gloves with no fuss and a smile and properly handling gf food. The large size of its counter allows for safer handling of gf food as it goes down the line avoiding cross contamination. I can't say the same for several smaller locations I have visited in the U.S. where I would not take a chance with the food. This location is really well run (overall and pertaining to gf) and the food is fresh and tasty.
3070 44th St SW, Grandville, MI 49418
Chipotle seems to be celiac friendly as long as you stay away from the flour tortillas. The tortillas chips are celiac tested and approved!
13127 State Line Rd., Kansas City, MO 64145
I'm extremely sensitive. I had a wonderful experience at this Chipotle! The staff was amazing. They not only washed their hands and changed their gloves but they got out all new cold ingredients just for my bowl! I haven't even had a slight reaction! My only complaint is that there wasn't a changing table or counter in the bathroom.
6100 Long Prairie Road, Flower Mound, TX 75028
Great experience, I went in a few minutes before they closed & the girl who made my bowl was very understanding- she washed her hands quite thoroughly & put on new gloves! I was wary of the chips but ate them & feel fine- very thankful one of my favorite restaurants is so GF friendly! :-)
112 Commerce Way, Woburn, MA 01801
They always stop to wash there hands and change gloves, it has good service and the workers are very friendly!
8599 W Grand River Ave, Brighton, MI 48116
Friendly, changed gloves & utensils---delicious food
853 Higuera - Space 6, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
Great variety... corn tacos, salad box or burrito fillings in a bowl. Great flavours and they are very specific with using new gloves to prevent cross contamination.
2280 Lone Star Dr., Sugar Land, TX 77479
Not recommended for celiacs. Setup for cross contamination.
They do a great job at this location with gluten free! They change gloves & seem pretty careful. Every once in awhile I come across a newbie, but fabulous in general! They seriously have it down.
1800 S. Loop 288, Denton, TX 76205
I eat here once a week and never have a problem. It is one of the few restaurants I don't have anxiety about eating at.
3475 Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109
The best chipotle I have ever been to. They were so understand of my allergy and I didn't get sick from it at all. I highly recommend going!
619 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201
Amazing. Washed hands when I said I was celiac and offered to change the utensils. wonderful service
1415 Boston-Providence Turnpike, Norwood, MA 02062
Told them I had a food allergy, they changed their gloves, took the bowl from the bottom of the pile just to be safe, wiped down the entire counter. Would definitely return to this location
4861 McKnight Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15237
I've never gotten sick here. However, the only meals I eat have no tortilla, merely the 'burrito bowl'. Plus, I love me some Chipotle food!
338 E. Rand Rd., Arlington Heights, IL 60004
My favorite gfree option.
1813 Village West Pkwy Q101, Kansas City, KS 66111
Love the food. Great service but get busy during soccer games.
7638 W. 150th St., Apple Valley, MN 55124
Great option for two celiac daughters. They are typically accommodating. Very long lines!!! Never had an issue. Looking forward to the one in Rosemount to open!
1 Worcester Rd., Framingham, MA 01701
As soon as we told staff we were gluten free 1 wiped down area while another washed his hands and put on new gloves. The manager brought clean spoons and fresh lettuce and made sure his staff were doing all this. All with a smile.
103 Central Expressway North, Allen, TX 75013
They are always happy to wash their hands, change their gloves and make my whole bowl from start to finish. I eat plain white rice and even the guy behind the grill washed his hands, changed his gloves before he added the rice to the bowl. I was so impressed, probably the best location I've been to!

Discrimination bill nixed: Skinner says changes would make legislation 'meaningless'
March 28, 2013
CHARLESTON — There will be no expansion of West Virginia's Human Rights Act or Fair Housing Act as far as the House of Delegates is concerned....
Fenderbass where did you get your hotel,motel and pool discrimination statistics? NAACP monthly or charley Rangel weekly?

<So, when did Gubment decide that THEY can tell you who YOU can sell YOUR private property to?> Uh, 1964. Ever hear of the Civil Rights Act? <Also the San Francisco values crowd cant claim all the disadvantages that apparently the Racims causes. For one, Economics doesnt seem to hurt the Skinners of the world.> If you are fired from your job because you are gay it IS economic discrimination.

This is the brilliant thinking of the Democratic leadership in Charleston?
"I respect people's religious views and their own personal beliefs," Skaff said. "The last thing I wanted to do was to put people in a place to make an uncomfortable vote when I knew we didn't have the votes in the committee."
So Delegate Skaff cares about the beliefs of a few other legislators (colleagues), but doesn't care at all for the religious beliefs of all the WV citizens who would be negatively affected by this legislation if he could have gotten rammed it through with four more votes...

You state, "60 years ago this conversation would be the same if you replaced gay with black. Bigotry is bigotry, regardless of intent."
Except, at least, race is very evident and a visible grounds for possible discrimination.
This addition would be VERY subjective, particularly in the case of gender-identification. Essentially it creates a trial lawyer's dream when anyone is fired or denied some privilege. Is it by chance that Delegate Skinner is also a trial lawyer?

The state(and its voters) has every right to place protections on those that may suffer injustice due to bigotry and iron age thinking. Women gained the right to vote in WV in 1920 and around 1961 50 percent of restaurants, 70 percent of hotels and motels, and 85 percent of pools in the state still discriminated against African Americans. Society progresses, history is not on the side of those against.

Fenderbass, there is a mechanism in the Constitution to change it. If you don't like it, work to get it changed the LEGAL way. That's how discrimination by the State got changed, if you care to look at the XV. amendment. The State has no right to legislate private bigotry, but you have every right to express your disapproval, including boycotting bigots. Do you get the difference between behavior of the State institutions and of sovereign citizens? Citizens are not wards of the State.

JVicuna, Democrats are promoting socialism. That's a fact. You show me ONE society where socialism has not resulted in the poor getting poorer and the people in power having all the privileges and the money, I'll change. my mind. I'm safe, because you can't. Thinking that the State has the power to tell parents and their doctors what's good for the children, IS socialism.

Ok now, stop it with the founding fathers never would have approved nonsense. "I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." Thomas Jefferson.

Delegate Skinner is a liar. He says, "This is not marriage," Skinner said. "It's about people having a roof over their head. And I have yet to hear any reason why somebody should be denied a house or should be fired from their job (for being gay)."
He knows full well the reason why people oppose this government-bullying. This bill is not about equality before the eyes of the Law or government. It is about using bully tactics to get private citizens to comply with the agenda of a small, politically-connected group wants.
The bill completely violates the idea of freedom of association, freedom of religion, and the right to private property. Obviously, Delegate Skinner wants to pursue his personal agenda more than the freedom of everyone.
6 Agrees | 10 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Skinner and Skaff swore to uphold the Constitution. What part do they not understand "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF."
I hear Mr. Skaff is planning to run for Congress. Nice to know where he stands before he starts spinning around.

Democrats have the majority in the committee. They could have easily passed it. But apparently they saw the bill for what it is: A frontal assault on property rights and income creation for lawyers, such as Mr. Skinner.

Let me weigh in on this bill. So the concept is that Gays cant be discriminated against. Right? Got it. I personally feel discrimination is wrong on any measure, so let me make that point clear first. But here is what I see with the bill. Its a discrimination bill in itself. By allowing this bill passage in its current state---it will hold charge against any person that has a religious conviction. so how is that not discrimination against peoples religion? People want to adopt a non discrimination bill that is based with the approval it has full authority to discriminate as well. Well then, GOD BLESS to those that can figure out that the bill needs not be the pot that calls the kettle black. By the way...that's not a racial slur...its an oletime Baptist proverb.

You all in Shepherdstown wanted this lying politician and you got him. Now he continues to push his radical homosexual agenda, but he does not want to do anything with BILLS that expand religious exemptions???

"As newer delegates come, I think they'll be more open and willing to vote for this legislation in years to come." He should have said, 'As the younger delegates who have been properly indoctrinated, courtesy of our public schools, come in…'

Wayne Bennett has been waiting nearly a decade.
When the former Alderson-Broaddus cross county runner was first hired at Hedgesville, he knew that a new high school was due to open -at some point.
"At the time, I was told a new school would be opening in a couple years, that I would be there for a couple of years and I would likely move to the new school," Bennett said. "I was told I should throw my name into the hat for the cross country job. For whatever reason, the years went by. Now that it has arrived, it's almost like it doesn't seem real."
Yet it is.
Bennett was recently hired to coach the new cross country program at Spring Mills High School, which will open this fall.
"I'm super excited," Bennett said. "It did seem like it took forever. I always thought that it would be a great opportunity. I always knew I was in a perfect spot if it happened."
Bennett came to the sport of cross country like a lot of runners. He was staying in shape for basketball at Philip Barbour High School.
Unlike a lot of runners, he found he exceled at the sport.
In college, he recognized his potential, helping lead Alderson-Broaddus to the West Virginia Conference title his senior year.
After college, he relocated to the Eastern Panhandle and started teaching at Hedgesville High School.
In the years since, he has helped coach cross country at the high school, was the coach of the middle school team and also coached middle school basketball.
The Spring Mills cross country job is the realization of a dream.
He has definite ideas about what he wants to accomplish.
"I want to build a program that is recognized around the state," Bennett said. "I want to send runners to the state meet every year. When you look at the success of Martinsburg, winning the football and basketball championships, that's what I would like to see happen here.
"First of all, we are going to have facilities that are second to none, for athletes, coaches and everyone." Bennett said. "There will be opportunities for kids who are here to go out and compete. I've had contact with some of the kids who are going to Spring Mills. It's a pretty exciting time for all of us."
There is still a lot of work to do.
While uniforms have been taken care of, he still isn't sure what athletes with whom he will be working.
There is still a course to be mapped out at the school.
"There is an opportunity to have success, but like other sports, sometimes it takes a while to build up a program," Bennett said. "With cross country, there are surprises every year. We want to be competitive, and build a program that establishes a tradition. That's important for all of us."
Bennett and his wife Abby are both avid runners.
He would like to see that trickle over on a larger scale than just the high school runners.
"Obviously, we want to establish our high school program," Bennett said. "We also want to get the younger kids involved. The earlier you start, the better you are going to be. And, we want parents involved. I'd like to see us start some running clubs. It can be a lifetime thing. When you play football or basketball, and you finish, it's a little harder to find teams or leagues to be a part of, but with running, you can always do it. It promotes a healthier lifestyle."
Bennett will be teaching ninth-grade science at Spring Mills this fall.

Seventeen games was not enough to determine a regular season champion in the Atlantic Sun Conference this year, and neither was 40 minutes in the decisive final game.
Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast put on an epic display Saturday, battling back-and-forth and into overtime before Stephanie Haas hit a pair of three throws with 0.2 seconds left to lift FGCU to a 74-73 victory in front of 1,449 fans at the Edmunds Center.
The loss snapped the Hatters 16-game win streak and made Stetson the no. 2 seed for next week's A-Sun tournament. The Hatters will host seventh-seeded Kennesaw State at 7 p.m. Tuesday night in the quarterfinals.
"I thought we battled, and I thought we played extremely hard," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I am not going to lie, that was a really tough way to lose the game."
Stetson (24-6, 16-2) had rallied from a 71-67 overtime deficit to take a 73-72 lead on Jama Sharp's bank shot from the left block with 15 seconds left.
After FGCU called timeout with 8.6 on the clock, Sarah Hansen missed a short jumper in the closing seconds but Haas was fouled on the rebound attempt.
"It should have been a no call," Bria said after the game. "We had two teams who were battling, going back and forth and putting it all out there, and a call is made like that. It's a no call, and you move on.
"For me, I am just standing there," Bria continued. "I am not sweating, but my players are, and I hate it for them."
The game featured an amazing 10 ties and 17 lead changes, including eight in the final eight minutes of regulation. Sharp helped force overtime by hitting a pair of free throws with 39 seconds left. She led all scorers with 18 points in the game.
"It's tough, especially when you play so hard and come so close," Sharp said. "We have a quick turnaround so we have to get refocused and back to doing what we have been doing the whole season."
Also scoring in double figures for Stetson was Brianti Saunders with 13 points and C.J. Coddington with 11 points. Amber Porter, Cherisse Burris, and Sharp each collected 10 rebounds, and Porter swatted away six Eagle shots.
Stetson shot 44 percent from the field and 50 percent from behind the arc.
FGCU (23-7, 17-1) hit 15 of their 45 three-point attempts.
"It's not the end-all be-all," Bria said. "I would say that if we were sitting here having won the game. There is work still left to do. We have to focus on Tuesday and take it a game at a time. That is all you are guaranteed."

Can you define these popular missing words?
Besides being a popular dance show, the word ABDC is an adjective describing certain cliques: ABDC - A person generally of asian descent who love dancing, religion, shoes,acoustic guitar and makes covers of songs, are way to proud of their nationality and who hang out with only eachother and no one else, the jabawockeez, G shocks and they are some how all related.
"wow thatt guy is a perfect example of an ABDC."

Hammams (Turkish baths) are common in Cairo, Damascus and many other Middle Eastern and North African cities, elegant and civilized places to steam the city dust out of your pores. Amman is an exception: its short recent history means that it doesn't share the centuries-old urban traditions of its neighbours. There is, for all intents and purposes, only one hammam in the city, the modern Al Pasha Turkish Bath.
Al Pasha Turkish Bath
Mahmoud Taha Street, opposite the Ahlia girls' school; it's the fifth turn on the right coming from 1st Circle along Rainbow Street t 06 463 3002, w pashaturkishbath.com. Beautifully designed in traditional style, the hammam offers 2hr of soaking, scrubbing, lathering and olive-oil massaging with professional male or female therapists for JD25. There are men-only hours, women-only hours and you can book ahead as a mixed group or a couple; call for details. Afterwards, don't miss out on herbal tea and/or a light meal of mezze in the beautiful garden courtyard – there are few more pleasant retreats in the city centre. Daily 10am–midnight.

Interface Protection and the First Circuit's Decision in Lotus V. Borland
Dennis S. Karjala
Arizona State University College of Law
Computer Law Reporter, Vol. 21, p. 434, 1995
In Lotus v. Borland the First Circuit held that the menu command hierarchy of the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program was a method of operation, and thus outside the protection of copyright law. The decision has been criticized and acclaimed by the opposing camps in the battle over copyright protection for software. International Business Machines Corporations' Assistant General Counsel Anthony L. Clapes and Arizona State University Professor of Law Dennis S. Karjala ably represent the opposing points of view.
Mr. Clapes criticizes the decision as an abrupt and unsettling paradigm shift, which is ungrounded in copyright jurisprudence, driven by the desired result, and which may pose serious problems for the software industry in the long term. Professor Karjala concludes that the Court's holding properly recognizes the statutory distinction between a protectable computer program and the unprotectable user interface which the program generates and that the decision also recognizes the proper relationship between patent and copyright protection, which reserves tot patent law the protection of functional aspects of a user interface.

Changements à l'assurance-emploi pour les travailleurs indépendants
En tant que travailleur indépendant, vous contribuez de manière significative à l'économie du Canada. Tout le monde est gagnant quand vous choisissez de profiter des avantages de la liberté créative, de relever le défi et de jouir de l'autosatisfaction qui accompagne souvent le travail indépendant.
Vous vous êtes sans doute déjà dit que le manque de sécurité financière peut rendre le travail indépendant moins attrayant. Pour encourager le travail indépendant, le gouvernement du Canada espère s'attaquer au moins à certains facteurs dissuasifs en présentant le projet de loi L'équité pour les travailleurs indépendants.
Dans le cadre du projet de loi proposé, vous, en tant que travailleur indépendant, pourriez participer au régime d'assurance-emploi (AE) et devenir admissible aux mêmes prestations spéciales qui sont actuellement offertes aux salariés. Ces prestations comprennent les suivantes :
- Des prestations de maternité (d'un maximum de 15 semaines) sont disponibles pour les mères biologiques et couvrent la période entourant la naissance (une demande de prestations peut être faite jusqu'à 8 semaines avant la date prévue de la naissance).
- Des prestations parentales ou d'adoption (d'un maximum de 35 semaines) sont disponibles pour les parents biologiques ou adoptifs lorsqu'ils prennent soin d'un nouveau-né ou d'un enfant nouvellement adopté. Ces prestations peuvent être prises par un des parents ou être partagées. Si les parents choisissent de partager les prestations, seulement une période d'attente sera appliquée.
- Des prestations de maladie (d'un maximum de 15 semaines) peuvent être payées à une personne incapable de travailler pour cause de maladie, blessure ou quarantaine.
- Des prestations de compassion (d'un maximum de 6 semaines) peuvent être payées à des personnes qui doivent s'absenter temporairement du travail pour prodiguer des soins ou offrir un soutien à un membre de la famille souffrant d'une maladie grave qui risque de causer le décès.
Résidents du Québec
Si vous êtes un travailleur indépendant et que vous résidez au Québec, vous continuerez d'être admissible aux prestations de maternité et aux prestations parentales dans le cadre du Régime québécois d'assurance parentale pour les travailleurs autonomes.
De plus, vous aurez le droit de profiter des prestations de maladie et de compassion dans le cadre du régime d'assurance-emploi du gouvernement du Canada. Si vous décidez de profiter du régime, vous payerez des cotisations d'AE au même taux que les employés au Québec, où les taux ont déjà été réduits pour tenir compte du régime provincial de prestations de maternité et de prestations parentales.
Renseigments supplémentaires
- En tant que travailleur indépendant, vous voudrez peut-être en apprendre plus au sujet de la présentation du projet de loi L'équité pour les travailleurs indépendants en lisant le communiqué affiché le 3 novembre 2009 : http://nouvelles.gc.ca/web/article-fra.do?nid=493319.
- Vous pouvez en apprendre davantage au sujet du régime d'assurance-emploi tel qu'il s'applique aux travailleurs indépendants et aux agriculteurs en consultant le lien http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/fra/ae/renseignements/autonome.shtml.

I am currently on EI and in the process of setting up my own consulting business. I need a small amount of financial support for a laptop and business cards only. Where would be the best place to apply for this type of funding?
thank you
@Darren Crook:
The Interactive Business Planner (IBP) is now operational. IBP was not available for some time on Saturday as a result of emergency maintenance that resulted in an interruption in service. Unfortunately, the nature of the maintenance did not allow us to provide clients with a message to indicate that the site was only temporarily offline for repairs to the web infrastructure.
We thank you for taking the time to visit our new Beta site.
Canada Business Web Team
I really need access to the business planner, but each time I go to access it, I can't, not through here, and the old site has no re-direct, no 'we're working on things, be patient', just a 303 server not available error. That's not very friendly to see, especially for a public accessible site. Hopefully you guys can do something about that. Btw, in case it wasn't apparent, I really do like the new site design, and I rely on the IBP for making excellent business plans. It makes things very efficient and workable when designing business plans.
Darren Crook
What a great redesign. Very clear & clean navigation, aesthetically pleasing and its encouraging to see the integration of social features like comments, digg and social bookmarking. This is an impressive government web site effort—you guys should be featured at Gtec :)
A great example of some of Stephen Anderson's ideas that you can't seperate aesthetics from usability and that a CLF site doesn't need to look bland. I hope you roll it out soon and it sets a precedent across the GoC to go 'social' and not be intimidated about using open source behind the scenes as the CMS.

My wife is on Maternity leave and collects EI. She's got some opportunity to work part-time and she knows the rules for EI deduction when she earns part-time work money. The question is should she consider herself as Self-Employed to Service Canada though she didn't register a business? if not, what would be the option to tell Service Canada on this case?
Hi Reza,
For the purposes of the EI Measure for Self-Employed People
Part 1:
I am currently on EI and I have the opportunity to do a 6 month contract, something I never did before. Is it possible for me to pay into the EI program so when the contract is finished and I don't have anything else then can I collect.
Part 2:
My current claim runs until Sep 2011 and if this contract only runs 6 months then can I still reactivate it since it is not finished?

I am wanting to start a Hair home based business (if I meet the zoning requirements), and my current employment is a term position, which ends May 2011. Once I am finshed my term employment, how do I go about applying for EI while trying to start a business. I beleive there is a program that will assist up to a year, but the requirements, I have not been on EI for some time, more than 5 years. Looking forward to your reply, and thank you for your time.
I came across your site while doing some research on the internet.
I have been a self employed entrepreneur running a small publishing business in Ottawa, Canada for 16 years. I developed 4 management reference handbooks in checklist format
and have sold these books to hundreds of customers in 85 countries around the world.
Recently, I have had a very significant decline in business, to the point, that I need to move on and find new business opportunities.
As an entrepreneur (it's in my blood), I would love to come up with another business opportunity. After a lot of googling, I have not come up with an idea so far. I even contacted some entrepreneurship centres across the country. They could provide lots of help with the process of starting up a business but not with helping to come up with another business idea.
I know I'm not the only small business person who is facing the situation of having to move on as a result of the economic circumstances. I just need to find another business idea. I have developed a business model that identifies how I want to work but I don't have the 'what' yet. I'm looking for online sites or other resources that provide a list of business ideas (I have found a few through google searching) that one can consider. Then, based on my passions (which I have written down), the ideas found on these lists would trigger my thoughts into generating a business idea that I would be passionate about and could start to pursue.
Can you please offer any suggestions on where I might search to come up with lists of new business ideas. As mentioned, I have been on google a lot and have come up with some ideas but, so far, not one that I'm passionate about.
Thank you.

I have been an employee since 2005, but always maintained a part time hobby business on the side, which I have not made any money at, any profits have been turned back into the business. I manufacture a product and primarily export it to the United States.
My current employer laid me off due to lack of work, I've applied for EI.
I'm just wondering if there is any programs to help me turn my little business into full time employment, or am I obligated to go back to my job when things pick up? This is a temporary layoff.
Thanks so much,

While I was on EI, I purchased a small business. For the first two months I was volunteering at my own business, I was being trained by the previous owner. I was also collecting EI. I did not receive any income from my business. After the two months I decided the business wasn't going to work for me, so I sold it again. Therefore, I never actually received any INCOME from this business. Is this within EI regulations? Or will I have to pay back the benefits received from EI during these two months of volunteering at my own business?? Please let me know as soon as possible.
thank you for your help:)

I am currently in school for my Journeymen in instrumentation (Last Year) and am currently on EI with the special apprentice "code" for the time being. I have the opportunity to Start my own business with the company I "was" working for and will be going back to work for them once my last period of school is completed successfully. I was hoping to get the ball rolling, so to speak, with registering my company while in school, so that as soon as I am finished school, I can have everything ready to go and go to work as an incorporated company. The Only problem I'm facing, is that if I start a "business" while collecting EI from my last job as an employee, will that mean I stop receiving benefits I'm currently entitled to ? because I do need them to finish my last term of technical training. Or will they continue as normal as long as the company has made ZERO income and is essentially dormant until I go back to work as per my expected start date on my EI claim ?
Hi Jordan,
Canada Business can provide you with information on business start-up, however, Service Canada will determine whether you may continue to receive EI benefits during the start-up stage of your business. Service Canada can be reached toll-free at 1-800-206-7218 (TTY 1-800-529-3742) or by visiting their Contact Information for Employment Insurance page.
I have been self employed for 3 years now with my own business as a sole proprietor. The past year has been very slow, and I am financially hardshipped.
Do I qualify for EI benefits through Service Canada, and if I do?....what is the criteria?
Hello James,
Service Canada provides the eligibility criteria for EI benefits for self-employed. You can visit their website at http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sc/ei/sew/eligibility.shtml or dial 1-800-206-7218 (TTY 1-800-529-3742). You can also contact Service Canada by mail or in person."
I am currently on EI (mat leave) I work part time at my job! And I'm looking into selling epicure (very small based business something like avon, just diff products) is that considered self employed, if so how to do I go about reporting this? Thanks
Hi Kim,
Service Canada's website has information on the definition of self-employed and income earned while on maternity leave.
I have been employed full time for a large employer since 2002. This is my main source of income. I have contributed to EI through this employment.
I also have farm income, both through a corporation and individually. If it wasn't for my farm income, I am certain I would be eligible for EI.
My wife and I are expecting our third child this May. My employer offers parental benefits with top up. I am considering taking parental leave, but not sure whether or not I am eligible for EI due to my annual farm income. None of the examples on the EI website really fit my situation.
Is there someone I can contact? I have called the EI call centre, but for weeks they have been 'experiencing higher than normal call volumes' and there isn't even an option to wait on hold, since the phone system just kicks you out. I have also been to a service Canada centre, but since this is perhaps a bit unusual, the staff are uncertain.
I am currently on EI, and was laid off a few months ago. I am wanting to start up my own business, and was wondering if I can still collect EI, while I am startibng up my own company. I just wanted to know if I am able to start up my company collect EI, and still register my new company.
Hello Carly,

LOCKPORT – Increased sharing of public works equipment and manpower will be the initial focus of a new shared services effort launched at a news conference before Tuesday's Niagara County Legislature meeting.
Legislator John Syracuse, R-Newfane, will head a committee of legislators and town supervisors that will study the concept.
He said highway superintendents and business people will be consulted for ideas.
"Cost containment and cost cutting will be our touchstone," Syracuse said.
The county and town highway departments already share each other's paving equipment during the summer, and in the winter, towns handle snowplowing on 173 miles of county roads. The county plows only 110 miles of roads itself, said Michael F. Tracy, county deputy public works commissioner for highways.
Legislature Vice Chairman Clyde L. Burmaster, R-Ransomville, who just stepped down as Public Works Committee chairman, said he can't envision a time in which the county would not plow any of its own roads.
"You've got to study it and see if it's possible," Burmaster said. "It's a very complex subject."
The county has had shared services committees before with limited results, but Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda, said the difference this time is "necessity."
He said the county has had success with shared services, such as taking over North Tonawanda's police and fire dispatching.
"Change is hard," said Wilson Supervisor Joseph M. Jastrzemski. "Six years ago in the Town of Wilson, we entered into shared services with the City of Niagara Falls in our assessor's office … It saved the taxpayers of Wilson $400,000 so far."
On another topic, resolutions asking the state to direct welfare recipients' shelter allowances directly to landlords were referred to the Community Services Committee, whose next meeting has yet to be scheduled.
The resolutions were introduced by the Legislature's Democratic majority at the request of Niagara Falls landlords who claim they are often stiffed on rent by welfare recipients.
Elizabeth White, a Niagara Falls attorney who assists welfare clients, spoke out against the proposals.
"The only remedy a tenant has if the conditions are substandard is to withhold the rent," she said.
"If that is taken away from them, it's going to take away their ability to advocate for themselves."
Landlord Lou Rizzo of the Falls said, "Investors travel the world in search of properties where they can make a profit. … When they come here, within three to five years, they're in bankruptcy. It's what I call the 'X Factor': the quality of tenants."
"When tenants do not pay their rents," said I. Kenneth Hamilton of the Falls, "landlords can't make improvements. If you can't make improvements, your properties go down. If your properties go down, your tax base goes down."

FAYETTEVILLE, Pa. - It may not be a 45 on AM radio or a Wurlitzer, but even in today's digital world, the music and story of a girl from Winchester, Va., who came to be known as Patsy Cline resonate with generations of musicians and fans.
The impact of Cline's story and music, the last of which was recorded a half-century ago, was seen when Totem Pole Playhouse was casting musicians for its production of "A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline," running through Sunday.
"With 'A Closer Walk' being a nationally popular musical that's also officially sanctioned by the Patsy Cline estate, we knew that we would attract a wonderfully talented cast," said artistic director Ray Ficca. "But the breadth of interest in this show told us there was something different."
New York-based singer, actor and vocal teacher Kara Boyer brings her experiences on Broadway and in the role of Cline to her first appearance at Totem Pole, performing 20 of Cline's hits. Long known as a place for musical talent, the four-state region rarely poses a challenge in finding musicians.
From the three-decade plus careers of steel guitarist Dean Clemmer and guitarist Stephen Blackstock, both of whom have played and recorded regionally and nationally, to David Zygmunt, whose early interest in the drums led to a musical career in the U.S. Navy and a music faculty position at Dickinson College, the band is diverse in background and deep in experience.
At just 16, Chambersburg High School student Joshua Long was the surprise as the bassist.
"When we saw Joshua, he blew us away," Ficca said. "Here's a 16-year-old kid, he's inspired by this music from three decades before he was born and when he plays it, he really brings it to life."
"A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline" runs through Sunday, with 7:30 p.m. performances tonight through Sundays and 2:30 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
The Totem Pole Playhouse is off U.S. 30 between Chambersburg and Gettysburg, Pa. Tickets start at $19.50, with 50 percent discounts for students and 25 percent discounts for groups of 15 or more. They may be purchased by calling the box office at 888-805-7056 or visiting www.totempoleplayhouse.org.
