Harang gets call in Braves' home opener vs. Mets
Colon starts as New York begins nine-game road trip
After wading through a season-opening homestand against the Nationals and Reds, the Mets are not about to see their path get any easier.
A daunting nine-game road trip awaits Terry Collins' club, beginning with a 7:10 p.m. game today at Turner Field. The game is the Braves' home opener, pitting Aaron Harang against Bartolo Colon.
"You definitely get excited to pitch in front of that kind of crowd," said Harang, who made four starts for the Mets last season before signing with the Braves late last month. "You want to give the fans reason to keep that adrenaline going."
After Atlanta, the Mets will fly to Anaheim for three games and Phoenix for another three, all without the benefit of an off day.
"We've got a tough schedule this year, with all those West Coast teams," Collins said. "We go out there four times. Those are long trips. But going into Spring Training, we knew the schedule. We knew how good the Nationals were going to be. The Angels are supposed to be a playoff team. The Braves are supposed to be a playoff team. The Diamondbacks, they've had some pitching issues, as we know in Spring Training, but they've got a very good club. You look at your schedule early and say, 'Wow, we'd better be ready.'"
The schedule has been far kinder to the Braves, who flew from Milwaukee to Washington and, after an off day, will be home for six in a row at Turner Field. At the end of their inaugural homestand, the Braves will simply head up the East Coast for road series in Philadelphia and New York. The more daunting portions of their travel schedule come later this summer.
Mets: (Almost) every day is Duda Day
Despite Ike Davis' walk-off grand slam on Saturday and his rally-sparking double on Sunday, the Mets are standing by Lucas Duda as their starter at first base. Insisting that the Mets have to "stick by our plan a little bit," Collins said Duda will be back at first base for Tuesday's series opener in Atlanta.
When Collins named Duda his starting first baseman late last week, he indicated that Davis would still receive one start over the weekend. That happened Sunday, coincidentally hours after the former starter hit a pinch-hit, walk-off grand slam against the Reds.
Davis could receive his next start in Atlanta, though he is a better bet to play this weekend in Anaheim, where the Mets will have the benefit of a designated hitter.
Braves: Waiting for offense
When the Braves rapped out six runs in Saturday's win over the Nationals, the total was just two fewer than they had scored in their first four games combined.
"We're still waiting to explode offensively," second baseman Dan Uggla said. "But we've proven last year, and years past, what kind of players we are. Our pitching and our bullpen has been great. We've been getting enough done."
Uggla, Justin Upton, B.J. Upton, Jason Heyward and Evan Gattis have all crawled out to slow starts this season, with Freddie Freeman one of the Braves' lone consistent producers. But the Braves feel it is only a matter of time before their offense, which ranked fourth in the National League last season, begins clicking.
"We haven't really been lighting it up offensively," Uggla said. "We've been doing enough to win games. But we haven't really been lighting it up."
Worth noting
• The Mets have held a lead at some point in all six of their games this year.
• Prior to Sunday's game, the Mets optioned infielder Wilmer Flores to Triple-A Las Vegas, clearing roster space for starting pitcher Jon Niese's return from the disabled list. Flores, who was originally a paternity list sub for second baseman Daniel Murphy, appeared in only one game with the Mets.
• Braves catcher Evan Gattis sat out his second consecutive game Sunday with a stomach bug that has also affected pitchers David Hale and Alex Wood. The Braves hope Gattis will be fully recovered in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Mets.
• The Braves will honor Hank Aaron before the game on the 40th anniversary of his 715th career home run, which eclipsed Babe Ruth's record at the time.

Ever since the mid 60s Moog have been worshiped for their synthesizers.
Pioneers at the time and now true veterans, they have maintained their reputation over the last 50 years and evolved to produce some of the best analog gear on the market to this day.
Classic analog tones are as sought after now as ever before. The new Moogerfooger effects modules allow all musicians the opportunity to get that authentic Moog sound, no matter what instrument you play.
Our very own Danny Edwards has recently been using the Moogerfooger Freqbox with his electric guitar:
"I have always loved the analog sound of a Moog. The Moogerfooger Freqbox allows me get some incredible sounds out of my guitar - it is the pedal that everyone compliments. I can't even explain some of the noises this thing makes - but they make me sound a lot better than I should. Nothing comes close to it."
Whether you are looking for a proper analog synth or just an effects module, Moog will not disappoint!

17 10 2014 02:14
October 2014 marks the landmark 50th anniversary of Moog - the analogue synthesizer that changed music and is still popular today.

It kind of defeats the point of having a good regular season if you can go 8-8 or even 7-9 and have a shot at the Super Bowl.
It's fuking stupid. They are going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg if they don't quit tinkering with the NFL. There are only 16 games, the regular season is sacred. Leave it alone. Goodell is an idiot for even considering the idea.

Top Definition
Refers to the multiple, pitiful scratch marks on ones wrist. These cuts are harmless and their only intent is to draw attention and sympathy from someone who "accidentally" notices them. Commonly found on emo kids wrists.
Did you see Jeff's attention marks, he really sunk to a new low with this one.

This week, Jimmy Fallon's Late Night provided a kind of victory lap for video gaming's heavy-hitting brands coming out of E3. "Video Game Week" on the show wrapped up last night with Reggie Fils-Aime, the boss of Nintendo of America, giving Fallon some hands-on time with the Wii U.
Sure, it's a hype appearance, but Fallon isn't a trained product demonstrator like we saw up on stage in Los Angeles. So this is the best we can do, for now, in the "real people playing the Wii U" category. He tosses some shuriken in Takamura's Ninja Castle, one of the 12 attractions inside the Nintendo Land suite debuting with the console. He then zombifies his face (as Fils-Aime did to his own on stage) within ZombiU, though no live gameplay is shown.
What else did Fallon play this week? Well, there's ...
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Eric Hirschberg, Activision's CEO, shows off the game's tactical "overwatch" mode and explains branching story paths to Fallon, who just wants reassurance he can still shoot his friends in multiplayer. "That's not doing anything," Hirschberg politely says when Fallon lays on the trigger while piloting a quad-rotor remote.
Halo 4
Josh Holmes, the game's creative director, gives Fallon a gamepad and announces he's the first outside of 343 Industries to play the game's campaign mode. Fallon then craps his britches when he stares into the glowing green skull of a Promethean Knight.
The Last of Us
Fallon flatters Naughty Dog "wild stallions" Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann by calling Uncharted the best video game ever in the history of video games, then goes on to tour post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh. Looks sort of like the hotel-level demonstration we saw on stage in L.A. Note the subtle bleeps of the dialogue.
Madden NFL 13
Josh Looman, the principal designer on the game's new Connected Careers suite, proctors a Jets-on-Jets showdown between Fallon and an utterly taciturn Darrelle Revis.

Wiping Blood, "Dabba-Do" Style (Review and Giveaway!)
I've always been a wiper -- a blood wiper, that is.
Never a licker, or someone who rubs my fingers together after a glucose test to get rid of the excess blood.
Nope, in my 30 years of doing blood tests, my routine has typically been to just wipe my finished finger on the inside of my meter case. Occasionally, I've used tissues, a paper towel, or even the bottom of my comfy office chair.…

"Plastic coming off in minutes"
My dogs love it and steal it from each other. One of them had it flaking off plastic on the ends within a few minutes. I have to cut off the curling, peeling pieces after they chew some, then any fur around gets caught in the chewed sections. None of the three dogs have chewed the middle, only the ends.
"Dura Chew"
I have an 11 month old Irish Setter puppy that can chew through the tougest toys made within minutes. The Dura Chew products are one of the few she has not been able to destroy. She has destroyed Kongs and many Nyla Bone products, so to find something to withstand her termite teeth for more than a day has been a challenge. I only gave it four stars because the orange rubber part in the middle did not stand up as well. She was able to get small bits off at a time and I think eventually she will get most if not all off. She only plays with it while I can watch her so I can get the bits from her. They have not been real big pieces so if she does swallow some I think they would pass safely but to be safe I taught her to drop them as soon as she gets one so now she does it herself and doesn't eat them. OverallI give Dura Chews two thumbs up!

WebAppSec for Managers and Executives - The Road Less Travelled
1 day
With the financial turn tables of major corporations resting on web applications that connect businesses, transmit and store sensitive financial and personal transaction, combined with the ubiquitous nature of the web; it is imperative that web applications that are designed, architected and developed are secure.
What do you think Shakespeare had to say about Software Security? What does an naked motorist have to do with Confidentiality? What does the Jungle Book character Baloo have to say about Security Essentials (The Bear Bare Necessities of Life security)? What does the African Wildlife have to do with Security Concepts? What does pH have to do with Security? and more … The Road Less Travelled by renowned poet, Robert Frost ends by with the statement "And that has made all the difference". Come to find out the answers to the questions above and see what it takes to look at Security from a different perspective that would make ALL the difference for you and your company.
This session is for Management primarily and any stakeholder that needs to understand how understanding application security concepts can benefit their organizations/companies in designing secure web applications. Whether you are a novice or an expert, you will all leave learning something new to lead your teams and help design the next generation of hack-resilient web applications.

The Art and Science of Threat Modeling Web Applications
1 day
To secure your home, you will first need to know how the thief could possibly enter and exit and where you should store your valuables. The same is true of your web applications. Unless you know what the vulnerabilities and threats of your web applications are, and what security measures you should take to protect them, ev1L h@x0rS or the enemy within (insider) could take advantage of the vulnerabilities.
Threat Modeling is a technique that you can use to identify ATVS (attacks, threats, vulnerabilities and safeguards) that could affect your web applications. Threat Modeling helps in designing your application securely from a confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization and auditing perspective. It is an essential activity to be undertaken during the design stage of your SDLC and helps mitigate and minimize overall risk.
This session is for Management, Technical (Developer, QA, Security ...) and Operational professionals and any stakeholder that needs to understand how threat modeling can benefit their organizations/companies in designing secure web applications. Whether you are a novice or an expert apropos threat modeling, you will all leave learning something new to design the next generation of hack-resilient web applications.

Web server/services hardening using SELinux
Pavol Luptak
1 day
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a FLASK implementation integrated in the Linux kernel with a number of utilities designed to provide mandatory access controls (MAC) through the use of Linux Security Modules (LSM) in the Linux kernel. SELinux generally supports many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those based on the concepts of type enforcement, role-based access control, and multi-level security.
A Linux kernel integrating SELinux enforces mandatory access control policies that confine user programs and system servers to the minimum amount of privilege they require to do their jobs. This reduces or eliminates the ability of these programs and daemons to cause harm when compromised (via buffer overflows or misconfigurations, for example). This confinement mechanism operates independently of the traditional Linux access control mechanisms. It has no concept of a "root" super-user, and does not share the well-known shortcomings of the traditional Linux security mechanisms (such as a dependence on setuid/setgid binaries).
This training provides basic concepts of SELinux, its differences to classical UNIX/Linux systems, describe security advantages of mandatory access control policies and teach how to effectively and rapidly configure a fully functional LAMP environment on SELinux system.

Secure Programming with Java
Lucas C. Ferreira
1 Day
This training class will present best practices of secure programming in the Java language. It includes Java specific practices (i.e. how to avoid problems that arise from the compilation of Java source code to the bytecode language used by the JVM) and practices that may arise in other programming languages (with examples in Java). Some tools that may be used to verify the security of Java code and systems will be shown.
The topics include a quick overview of the OWASP Top 10, in order to contextualize the practices presented, and several best practices aimed at the different software layers. At the presentation layer, we focus on input validation, access control issues and dealing with exceptions. At the business objects layer, the practices deal with cloning and serialization issues. Practices to prevent command injection are presented at the persistence layer. Practices that should be used throughout all the software are also presented, including input data validation, class and method visibility, using and storing secrets, dealing with inner classes, overflows and boxing, and object initialization.
Java web application developers. This training requires basic understanding of web applications and an intermediate level of proficiency in the Java language and Object Oriented concepts. People with interest in other OO languages may also benefit from this training, but specific techniques, examples and tools used are targeted to Java.

OWASP Top 10 - What Developers Should Know on Web Application Security
Sebastien Deleersnyder and Martin Knobloch
4 h To be scheduled on Tuesday.
Application security is an essential component of any successful project; this includes web applications, open source PHP applications, web services and proprietary business web sites. Web application security education and awareness is needed throughout the entire development and deployment organization. Each area and level of development or deployment organizations have specific needs and requirements regarding web application security education. A manager needs other information than a security professional or developer. Novices to the profession require other training than people with several years of experience.
The OWASP Education project aims to provide in building blocks of web application security information. These modules can be combined together in education tracks targeting different audiences. This Education Track provides in a 4 hour session covering what developers should know on web application security. It starts with an explanation of web application security and why it is important. Then the OWASP Top 10 is used to explain the nastiest vulnerabilities and how these can be prevented or re mediated. A secure coding initiative must deal with all stages of a program's life cycle. Secure web applications are only possible when a secure SDLC is used. The SDLC is explained from the standpoint of people, processes and tools. Particularly for developers good secure development practices are covered in a separate topic. Finally the track finishes with an exhaustive list of web application security resources for web application developers.
Web application developers who are unaware there are security issues with contemporary web applications. No prior knowledge of web application security is assumed nor necessary. This track is independent of the coding language or web frameworks used; like PHP, JSF, Java EE or .NET. We must realize that web application developers are only one link - albeit an important one - of the chain that represents the security of a web application. This track aims to make that link as secure as possible, given the constraint of 4 hours. Another important aspect is that web application security should be tailored to the risk profile of an organization and the specific development environment of that organization.

If you're attending the OWASP Summit, then you understand that web application security is a big issue. Empirical and anecdotal evidence clearly suggests web applications are being attacked, and with high degrees of success. But its one thing to know about web application hacking, and its quite another to know how to hack them yourself. This workshop by SensePost is about hacking web applications. Not the theories, the lists and the tools, but the techniques and an out-of-box thought process that underpin genuinely unique and original web application compromises. The workshop employees a series of carefully designed web hacking exercises as its integral learning tool.
Each exercise is designed to teach a specific lesson and will be discussed in detail after it is completed. In this way you learn from your instructors, your colleagues and your own successes and failures. The exercises have all been designed to replicate real-life scenarios with real-life-hacker stumbling blocks along the way.

I must be dreaming.. This can't be true...
Phoronix: ATI: Linux vs. Windows Vista
Since AMD introduced their new Linux display driver last month, we have published a number of different articles looking at the Radeon performance across their different GPU product generations. This ATI/AMD Linux driver testing and exploration continued this month with the release of the 8.42 driver, which finally introduced AIGLX support for the fglrx driver. One area though we haven't yet analyzed is how their official Linux driver now compares to their much-optimized Windows Catalyst driver. Today, however, we will be looking just at that as we compare the ATI Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB performance under Linux and Microsoft Windows Vista.
I must be dreaming.. This can't be true...
A bit more details in the test would have been good, like what version of DirectX was running on Vista if 10 then I guess the game looked better on vista than on linux which comes at a cost of fps's. Dont want to come off as some windows fanboy but usually these kind of tests dont tend to hold up when examined with microscopes....but yes I thought I was dreaming too
That huge performance difference in ET:QW may be caused by a faulty linux driver.
Performance in X² - The Threat increased greatly between 8.40 and 8.42 on my system, but now particles from engine jets render as white billboards (before, particles were the main cause of slowdowns).
Also, I get an interlaced screen when I run it at 1280x1024.
Who knows what other things fglrx doesn't do, which results in increased performance/decreased visual quality.
But then again, 8.42 still seems geared towards r600, and I have an r500 (x1950pro) ...
As pessimistic as I'd love to be, I'm not going to be as pessimistic.
...white billboards, LOL. If those were real, you could use your exhaust as weaponry
Anyways, at this point I wouldn't say that they're "cheating", but just that they still need many more releases to improve and fix current (and future bugs). We do know they're on a new code base, so it is possible that it's a problem with a driver, not an intentional cheat.
...but time will tell.
[In any case, I'm happy to see Linux pwning Vista. Thanks, that's all from me]
I'd really like to seen screen by screen comparisons of the same sittings to verify that everything looks exactly the same. As amazing as the results are, I don't think I'll buy just yet...
I don't know much about this game, but to keep the results fair, both instances of the game should have been using OpenGL. Although performance between D3D and OpenGL is in theory very similar, it really depends on the machine the two are running.
Last edited by Morlyn; 10-30-2007 at 02:31 PM.
There's probably some missing rendering operations going on there. In theory, the codebase is mostly the same (if you buy their PR...), so any differences will be due to better fits with one or the other- or missing functionality.
Looking at the fps numbers, I'd say that rendering of ET:QW on Windows was synchronized to screen refresh (60 Hz), while on Linux that was not the case (is OpenGL vsync even supported in these drivers?). Make sure vsync is not enabled in Windows drivers or game settings and test again, please.
If vsync issues and other potential rendering problems are ruled out, the results seem very impressive indeed.
Last edited by deneb; 10-30-2007 at 02:52 PM.
the results are pretty impressive.
though, i'm not really surprised. the enemy territory for what i've read around is based on a new engine that isn't optimized specifically for dx10, since they're limited to vista and there are still a lot of xp users that in that case wouldn't be able to play it. since the engine is new and studied to express the full potential of a graphic board it would interesting a benchmark of the same game and settings with the new nvidia driver under linux and windows and a confrontation between the 2 leading graphic producers. i'm prepared to bet a little sum on the nvidia linux driver also beating the vista one.
remember that vista is still a fresh system of microsoft and as that it's still in its beta test phase. only after the first sp maybe it will be a good one.
now, let's return to the bench themselves:
are there texture errors or tearing during normal use of the system with the new ati drivers?! if you didn't experienced issues, may this be caused by fact that the last releases of the driver are optimized to work with the r600 series?! this could really be a reason why the new driver performs so well with the hd board.
and as a test, it would be nice if an amd64 or ia64 version could be tested, since the number of linux users using a 64bit version distro is quite high. how do these games perform with a 64bit version distro?
VSYNC endabled on my system XP/Linux, dont lock to framerate, I CAN COMFIRN THE PERFORMANCE, NO SHITTY graphics on my 2900 XT.
Things goes faster running under linux. its soo true. i wrote topic or post about it, with not real evidence.

"Greening" the crisis: turning trouble into opportunity
By Diogo Veríssimo
An economic crisis is a hardship but also an opportunity. Whether you manage a household or a multinational corporation there are two ways to balance your account: increase revenue or decrease expenses. In this context, the economic downturn might just be the incentive we need to make us tackle the biggest challenge to environmental sustainability: waste.

Phillies, Rangers looking to get back on top
Lee goes for Philly; Texas' Scheppers to make first career start
In 2011, the Rangers went to the World Series for the second straight year, and the Phillies won a franchise-record 102 games on their way to a fifth consecutive National League East title.
Opening Day at Globe Life Park in Arlington today, then, will be an Interleague matchup bringing together two organizations seeking a return to the level of success to which they had become accustomed. First pitch is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. ET.
The Rangers were knocked out of the playoffs by the Orioles in the Wild Card Game in 2012, missing the postseason last year despite winning 91 games. The Phillies' decline has been steeper: a .500 record followed by the first losing season since 2002.
The goal may be the same, but these clubs are trying to get there using a very different GPS.
Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz were big parts of the Rangers' success back then. So were Michael Young and Ian Kinsler. And Mike Napoli and David Murphy. And left-hander C.J. Wilson. None are with the team. Young and Kinsler were traded, and the rest departed as free agents.
"We had that core group, the core position players that had a lot of success together," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "I think we knew we were going to have to make some decisions on that group. Financially, it wasn't realistic to keep everybody together, but also, it was never really our goal either.
"I think when you bring back the same players, it doesn't always mean you're bringing back the same team. So we had some tough decisions to make on guys who have been huge for the franchise."
The Phillies, by contrast, have kept much of the nucleus together that helped create so much success: Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee.
"We need the guys we're paying a lot of money to do what they're supposed to do," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has said repeatedly.
Amaro returned to that theme when some of those players struggled at times during Spring Training.
"We have to get our veteran guys going on all cylinders," he said. "We'll sink or swim with those guys."
At this point, the interests of the teams converge again. Both are looking for more offensive production than they got in 2013. The Rangers finished seventh in the American League in runs scored (730). The Phillies were 13th in the National League, scoring 610 runs -- their lowest full-season total since 1998.
The Rangers addressed that by acquiring Prince Fielder in a blockbuster trade with the Tigers, and Michael Choice came over from the Athletics for Craig Gentry. Shin-Soo Choo was signed to a seven-year, $130 million deal, which came after Texas added Alex Rios last summer.
Daniels described Choice as "kind of a young guy on the verge" and added, "I think our hope is that not only do we have the core guys in their prime, but a young player like [Jurickson] Profar, a young player like Leonys Martin, a young player like Choice. And even still younger players like Elvis [Andrus] and even [Mitch] Moreland, the development of that group is going to be big for us."
After Daniels spoke, Profar (torn right shoulder muscle) and catcher Geovany Soto (right knee surgery) were each lost for 10-12 weeks.
In addition to hoping that their veterans can snap back to form, the Phillies are looking for internal development from players like third baseman Cody Asche and left fielder Domonic Brown. Center fielder Ben Revere was on a tear (.347 in his last 65 games after a slow start) when he fouled a pitch off his right foot on July 13, and he missed the rest of the season. He's being counted on to be a spark from the leadoff spot.
Unlike the Rangers, after giving up prospects and Draft choices to try to win as many championships as possible when the nucleus was in its prime, Amaro was not in a position to draw from the farm system. That's why the 35-year-old Ruiz was re-signed to a three-year contract and why 36-year-old free agent right fielder Marlon Byrd got $16 million for two years.
An Interleague pitching matchup that would have featured two of baseball's dominant pitchers, Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish and the Phillies' Lee, was scuttled when Darvish went on the disabled list with a stiff neck.
Instead of Darvish, the Rangers will go with 27-year-old Tanner Scheppers, whose previous 115 Major League appearances have all been in relief. He won a spot in the rotation late in Spring Training on the basis of a strong Cactus League, then received a battlefield promotion when Darvish was sidelined. Scheppers will be the first pitcher to make his first Major League start on Opening Day since Fernando Valenzuela with the Dodgers in 1981.
"I'm just extremely excited for the opportunity," Scheppers said. "Let's get this season started and get things rolling in the right direction."
For the Phillies, it's Lee, the 35-year-old left-hander who ranked second in the NL in strikeouts (222) and posted a 2.87 ERA.
The Rangers and Phillies are both trying to get back to the top. But they're going in different directions in an attempt to reach that destination.

They only have a gluten sensitive menu. They have four types of salsa with chips thats very good. The service was also excellent.
3700 Lakeside Village Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33803
Have eaten here before and most recently on 4/22. Small number of GF choices but the waiter seemed to understand the allergy. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer (earlier post said they do). They were able to do baked GF chips which were ok. Overall a good experience but not great. Didn't get sick.
3700 Lakeside Village Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33803
The staff did not know much about gluten and I got sick after eating here.
14480 Lowes Way, Carmel, IN 46033
I've always had a very good experience at Abuelo's and have eaten there several times. The gluten free menu could have more choices....but then once I tried the bacon wrapped shrimp fajita's I doubt I will ever try anything else anyway. Those are awesome!! Every staff member I have spoken to has been knowledgeable. I even asked about the mints to be sure they were GF, they said they had called the factory and confirmed that they were safe.
1041 Interstate 20 W, Arlington, TX 76015
Not gluten free!!! Only gluten sensitive. They accidentally plated my food wrong putting gluten containing rice on my plate under my meat & veggies. They just scraped it off. Didn't use a fresh plate. I emailed & they were to get back to me & never did! Definitely not worth going back. Ever! Also a sauce that was suppose to go on my meat didn't. The waiter said it contained gluten. So I couldn't have it even though it was on the gluten sensitive menu. Either the menu needs to be changed and/or the staff needs to be educated. It's not a safe place to eat.
3701 Dallas Pkwy, Plano, TX 75093
They have a separate menu, the staff is clueless....ordered off the gluten free menu, first bite into my side dish I realize it's something that was not on the gluten free menu, asked the waiter and he quickly snatched up my plate and ran off with it, too bad I already took a bite :( my family was done eating before my food was even out....yuck!
740 Coastal Grand Cir, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Service and food has always been great the many times I have eaten here. Staff always double checks to make sure the tortillas for the fajitas are gf. I eat vegetarian as well gf (celiac) and the kitchen has always accommodated my requests for different veggies to be used for the fajitas. Portions are huge and I always have enough leftovers for a second meal.
1413 N Waterfront Pkwy, Wichita, KS 67206
They have a full GF Menu but an untrained staff. They sent out gluten food and got everyone sick! The manager didn't seem to understand the severity of the mistake.
4401 82nd St, Lubbock, TX 79424
I have gone a couple times and ordered off the gluten sensitive menu. Got sick both times.
3440 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226
Great place! Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. They had a GF menu handy. It's limited, but delicious. Our server brought us baked chips (so they weren't contaminated in the fryer) without us even asking! Will definitely be back!
2420 N Fairfield Rd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
Selections are limited but the staff was knowledgable. Baked chips were served and separate salsa offered in order to not cross contaminate.
3501 W 45th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79109
One of our favorite places! Very accommodating to allergies and sensitivities. If you call ahead, they will make gluten free chips for you... if not, it is acceptable to take your own!
740 Coastal Grand Cir, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Chips were horrible. Both my daughter and I had issues after we ate their food and we ordered from their gf menu. My daughter felt so sick we had to go back to our hotel for the evening.
2520 S Stemmons Fwy, Lewisville, TX 75067
Although I had no problem with what I ate, the waitress was clueless. When I asked about the flan, she said she's have to read the ingredients list, but assured me if there was any gluten, it'd be so small as to not affect me. I asked her to please check anyways and all was fine. However, she seemed to not understand that ANY is not okay.
3420 N Central Expy, Plano, TX 75074
Separate, detailed menu for gluten intolerant individuals. I got the chicken fajitas with romaine leafs and they were incredible! They even baked my chips to ensure there was no cross-contamination. Super friendly and accommodating, which is something I rarely see when ordering at a restaurant.
3501 W 45th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79109
One of my favorite restaurants prior to Celiac diagnosis. The GF menu is fairly limited and pretty much the most expensive items on the menu. I've had the fajitas and the tamales and the flan. All are tasty. Wait staff all said they would make note and tell the kitchen staff.
2423 McMenamin St, Hampton, VA 23666
new to GF diet ... my mom tried the 3 soft corn tacos with beans & cilantro lime rice. I had the salmon santa Cruz with rhe cilantro lime rice & seasonal veggies. my salmon was delicious. my didnt rave about her tacos but we both loved the rice. waited a bit for Gluten sensitive chips. they were pretty awful. don't waste your time on those.
1041 Interstate 20 W, Arlington, TX 76015
Great Mexican food with true atmosphere. they do not have a GF menu, but many dishes are naturally GF. I eat their cheese enchiladas, tostada, beans, and Mexican potatoes with no issues. We eat here a couple of times a month.
4802 Valley View Blvd NW, Valley View Mall, Roanoke, VA 24012
wonderful food and service! our server was very well educated on their gluten free options
3700 Lakeside Village Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33803
when I got the menu, the first thing I did was turn it over to see what else was on the back. sadly, it was blank. Very limited menu and nasty food means a non return.
740 Coastal Grand Cir, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
My wife ordered from the gluten free menu. Her dish came out not gluten free; with regular chips! When she asked about the chips, the food runner took the dish back to the kitchen returning a minute or two later. We asked if it was the same dish with the chips removed and she told us yes! The manager never came to the table! Staff does not seem trained and the general attitude does not inspire confidence in celiac sufferers!
16092 N Arrowhead Fountains Center Dr, Peoria, AZ 85382
The manager told me not to eat there since it's not really gluten free!
8255 Georgia St, Merrillville, IN 46410
I truly enjoyed eating here. They even made me a batch of chips under their broiler so I could enjoy some of their salsa with chips.
44350 Schoenherr Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
Had the beef tacos. I enjoyed it very much! Last time I went there they were very busy and I got sick
3395 Nicholasville Rd, Fayette Mall, Lexington, KY 40503
My waiter was very kind and probably went back to the kitchen 5 times to double check my questions. Just tread lightly here and ask if you are uncertain. I found out the chips are NOT cooked in a dedicated fryer, but the waiter had the cooks bake the chips in a different pan. Although, not as tasty, it was a nice effort.
10909 E 71st St, Tulsa, OK 74133
I'm a sensitive Celiac (I explained this) and I ordered the tamales, lime cilantro rice and vegetables with out seasoning. The vegetables looked like it had seasoning on them so I didn't eat them. I did however eat the Gluten free chips, which I was assured where prepared and cooked in an area and oven that was only used for gluten free items, the tamales and the cilantro lime rice oh and the salsa. I'm not sure where the gluten was but I got sick. It wasn't too bad so I'm guessing it was a contamination issue.
16092 N Arrowhead Fountains Center Dr, Peoria, AZ 85382
This restaurant is NOT gluten free. Their chips are fried with gluten products. The server said nothing on the menu is considered gluten free. They have a "gluten-sensitive" menu meaning they don't purposely put gluten in it, but everything is open to contamination. No separate oils, cooking utensils, pans, or prepping areas.
1041 Interstate 20 W, Arlington, TX 76015
I tried this place three times and got excessively sick was fed flan and gf chips but as i asked if the grill was shared with gluten itemd they didnt have an answer. If you are sensitive stay away!
1712 Mall Ring Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23320
My server had no idea what gluten was. They do have a gluten sensitive menu but it is very limited. No chicken or steak at all. They did offer me baked corn chips since the fried chips use the same as the flour but they are horrible. No taste at all, not even salted, and they are chewy.
1413 N Waterfront Pkwy, Wichita, KS 67206
Was very specific with the server- he didn't understand gluten - I asked for gluten free chips - he brought me the ones with gluten - I was soooo sick!!!!
4802 Valley View Blvd NW, Valley View Mall, Roanoke, VA 24012
All 3 times I have gone I was told something new on their gf menu really wasn't. Like it was fried with gluten foods. I should have figured out they made me sick the second time. The third time I barely had any options left.
5910 W 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46278
pork tenderloin is fantastic! salsas have great flavor and they even make you FRESH gf chips. will definitely go back
2420 N Fairfield Rd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
Beavercreek, OH I noticed some negative reviews on how they had few choices. If you live in a bigger city then YES they have limited choices, but if you live in an area where many are unaware of gluten then it's great. I recommend the shrimp fajitas!!
3701 Dallas Pkwy, Plano, TX 75093
GF menu available and they will bake their chips to avoid cross contamination. Tasty GF options. We made sure our server knew we were requesting GF for intolerance, not as a "food fad".
824 Airport Fwy, Hurst, TX 76054
The have a gluten sensitive menu that has great options. When waiter was notified of gluten allergy, he immediately put an order in for their baked chips and kept them coming for us. The manager also came to us to make sure I was able to find something I would enjoy on the provided menu. Great experience and no issues!! Had the soft tacos. Fantastic!
11299 Parkside Dr, Knoxville, TN 37934
This is ok most of the time. They do have a gf menu, and most of the servers we've had have an awareness of the gf menu. They will bring out baked chips on request. We seem to keep going there anyways until we noticed a pattern: we always order the chicken nuggets for our son, and a few times they have come out raw in the middle. Um, gross. After a few occasions of that we stopped going.
3700 Lakeside Village Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33803
Horrible food. Very few gf options. They tried to bake my chips and they were soggy. My fajitas had no seasoning and they tried to steam them with white wine. Poor choice for a gf person.
3420 N Central Expy, Plano, TX 75074
The waiter was exceptional and even explained (without me asking) how my food was prepared to make sure there is not cross contamination. The menu is limited but the pork fajitas were really good. They bake the chips instead of frying them to ensure that they aren't cross contaminated. The gm came to our table.
8274 U.S. 64, Memphis, TN 38133
Amazing! They were so kind and helpful! When I went there recently, I mentioned my gluten allergy and the need for staff to clean prep areas, change gloves, etc. The staff was really nice and made sure everything would be taken care of! They even have a menu devoted to gluten-free items! Their gluten free pork fajitas with corn tortillas were delicious! I also loved that they offered gluten free corn chips to go with the green salsa. It made me feel less "left out" when I was dining with my friends that do not have a food allergy. The restaurant and bathrooms were also kept tidy as well!
3701 Dallas Pkwy, Plano, TX 75093
Called to ask about GF chip options. Hostess that answered the phone was less than helpful and when I asked for the kitchen manager. He wouldn't come to the phone.
4802 Valley View Blvd NW, Valley View Mall, Roanoke, VA 24012
The gluten free menu is limited but there are some interesting selections. The waitress brought out chips and salsa and said the chips were gluten free but she wasn't sure about the salsa. She came back in a few minutes and as I had already had two chips said the salsas are gluten free and I will bring out gluten free chips after I already had eaten some of the ones she said were gluten free! The waitress openly admitted she didn't know much about the gluten free menu! I was disappointed and will not go back there.
4610 N Garfield St, Midland, TX 79705
GF menu is a joke...I ordered the safest thing I could and still got horribly sick. Never again.
2423 McMenamin St, Hampton, VA 23666
the chips and sauces which are served while waiting have gluten contamination so even though I took rice crackers so I could eat with friends I still had reaction from the sauce. It would be nice if the free chips and sauces were gluten free.
14480 Lowes Way, Carmel, IN 46033
Judging by previous reviews, this place is hit or miss. With me, they missed. Had a reaction - I'm guessing due to cross contamination. Be careful.
16092 N Arrowhead Fountains Center Dr, Peoria, AZ 85382
Staff is helpful depending on which location you go to and who is working at the time. They give you special chips that are GF but they're not very good.
2102 Hamilton Pl Blvd, Chattanooga, TN 37421
Decent gluten free menu. Made our daughter a meal without spicy sauce and prepared the shrimp cocktail shrimp plain even though this was not on the menu. If you like Mexican food, you can get a good gluten free meal here.

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
Did that get your attention? It better.
The new data is in, and the trend continues. In the fourth quarter of 2011, 41.8% of all mobile subscribers age 13 and older used smartphones, online and mobile research firm comScore Inc. finds. That's 97.9 million out of 234.2 million mobile subscribers. That percentage grew across 2011: In Q1 it was 30.9%, in Q2 it was 33.5% and in Q3 it was 37.4%.
Smartphone penetration nearly doubled in a year and a half, from 21.9% in June 2010 to 41.8% in December 2011. I believe we're going to see even bigger gains in 2012 as more people fall for the allure of the amazing devices. By the end of 2012 (assuming the world doesn't end Dec. 21 thanks to the Mayans), I think nearly half of all mobile subscribers will have smartphones in their pockets.
So what are we buying? ComScore breaks it down for the fourth quarter of 2011. Google Inc.'s Android ranked as the top smartphone platform with 47.3% market share, up 2.5 percentage points from Q3 2011. Apple Inc. and its iPhone maintained the No. 2 position, growing 2.2 percentage points to 29.6% of the smartphone market. Research In Motion's BlackBerry platform ranked third with 16% share, continuing its downward death spiral by 2.9 percentage points. Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone came in fourth with a dismal 4.7% share, down nine-tenths of a percentage point (so much for the marketing push). And the also-ran Symbian platform came in fifth with 1.4% share, down four-tenths of a point. Other, obscure platforms accounted for 1% of smartphones in Q4 2011.
There are two key points in the new research from comScore. Of all mobile subscribers age 13 and older in Q4 2011, 47.5% accessed the web through a mobile browser (up 4.6 percentage points from 42.9% in Q3 2011) and 47.6% used mobile apps (up 5.1 percentage points from 42.5% in Q3 2011). It should be noted that some feature phones run apps, though these apps don't compare to the powerful, highly graphical apps on smartphones.
So nearly half of all mobile phone subscribers—that's 111.2 million people—browse the web on their devices and use mobile apps. But one thing missing from the data is frequency. How often do people surf the mobile web, and how many times a week do people use their apps? I believe people access the mobile web more often than they use apps.
For years I've heard from analysts that so many apps get downloaded once then never used again. And then there are the apps that are used for a little while but then get forgotten about in the clutter. Plus, people are used to browsing on their desktops, and I believe they transfer that behavior to their smartphones (and tablets).
Every smartphone owner has a core group of apps he uses on a very regular basis (not counting contacts, calendar, texting and photos). For me it's the New York Times, Twitter, Who News (about the Doctor Who TV show), Fandango, and Kindle for iPhone. That's it. And I have more than 100 apps on my phone. I spend more time browsing; though the time I spend with those five apps comes close. But even still, even if I spent more time with those five apps than I did browsing, take that into the context of the more than 100 apps I have on my phone. What's happening with the other 95 apps? Just about nothing.
If you're just starting out in mobile commerce, build yourself an m-commerce site first, then wait a bit and see if there's the need for an app later. Having a hard core group of brand loyalists is a good reason to launch an app. But site first. And if you've already got a site, then think about redesigning it (take a look at my story in the magazine this month), and especially consider using HTML5 to make the site function and look more like a slick app (see my magazine story in the upcoming March issue of Internet Retailer).
111.2 million people are browsing the web on their phones today. If you're not there with an optimized m-commerce site, you're pushing your luck.
