Bicycle Tire Chains, for commuting or fun
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
There is a new bike company in Durango Colorado called SlipNot who make a Bicycle Traction System, ie chains, for your bike. Bike chains reduce the barriers to winter cycling for either commuter or just having fun. Recently 303cycling took these out for the test and this is what we have to say about them so far.
Purchase. The chains have two prices, $85 for 26" wheels and $95 for 29'ers. The chains can be purchased online
Installation. First off, these chains are for tires of no less than 1.9" in width so the bike I installed in on was an old school Specialized Epic, 26" and not my typical 700c commuter bike. Installation of front tire went pretty smoothly (as shown in their installation video) although since it was my first time I did fumble around a little causing the total time for the first tire to be about 10 minutes, but I learned lot, greatly reducing installation time for the next tire which took a little less than 5 minutes. I was done! Wrong. The smart engineers at Specialized provided very little mud clearance between the tire and the rear shock which caused my chains to rub the shock a little (plenty of clearance on the frame). This required me to take off my wide tires and install a 1.9 commuter tire (Continental Town and Country). After that was complete the chains fit much better.
Operation: I choose to ride these chains on the first big snow day in the Front range that dropped nearly 10 inches of snow on us. I'd never done this before. My route to work is 25% roads and 75% multi-use paths. The roads were about 50% clear and the multi-use path about 10% clear, today was going to be a good test day... or so I thought. Riding the roads was great, I had zero traction issues which gave me the same confidence on the bike as I would have on any regular day. Traction on the trails was also great! Most of the path had semi packed snow and the chains road through it perfectly never having any traction problems. Overall the chains performed perfectly as they were suppose to... but the commute was a disaster
Special Considerations
Commuting by bike or just riding your bike for under such conditions comes with many more problems beyond traction.
- Clothing. This is one place I did a good job but I can see were many don't prepare for the wet conditions like road spray or bike spray
- Fenders. My commuter bike has fenders but my test bike only had a lame rear fender. Road spray from my front tire was a disaster.
- Glasses. Forget trying to wear them.
- Gears. Hahahaha. Who needs them, if the air temperature is below freezing then you are going to end up with 1 gear by the time you reach your end destination.
While I consider myself a seasoned commuter I learned a lot testing these chains out. 1. chains DO WORK! 2. Commuting by bike under conditions that might require chains requires a lot more preparation then just the need for chains. The ease of installation and removal make using chains much more convenient than either switching out studded tires or simply riding studded tires 100% through the winter months. To increase your mountain biking during the winter months this is perfect but if use for commuting is your goal know than riding in the snow might require more then chains, so be sure to look at the full picture before you buying the chains.

dude fixed gear with studs is
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
dude fixed gear with studs is the way to go. I use those el cheapo studded tires from Performance, and have plenty of clearance for front and rear full fenders. My husband and I have a pair of older San Jose singlespeed cyclocross bikes with racks & fenders. Run fixed cogs in winter, singlespeed 'em for grocery runs and bar crawls. In winter you'll need a low gear like 42x17 or 18 for starting in slush and getting up hills on slick stuff.
fixed-with-studs is like traction control; you can feel what the rear tire is doing and you always have stopping power even on black ice.
on my winter studded snow bike, I've ridden merrily across a parking lot that was glaze rutted bumpy ice, that a Subaru Outback was having a hard time getting started on. Yes, it's slow and heavy but that's kind of how it works out.

It was 2011, and entrepreneur Cyndi Nickel was in search of a business incubator. Her Austin-based biotech firm DxUpClose, founded in 2009, was using lab space at Texas State University in San Marcos. It was time to get out from under the university's wings, but Nickel needed easy access to a sophisticated laboratory.
Representing an early-stage venture still in the development phase of its product, she wasn't ready to go out and build her own lab. In her search, Nickel heard about the North Texas Enterprise Center and met NTEC's Hubert Zajicek, the center's managing director-medical technology.
Zajicek encouraged Nickel to apply to present at MedVentures, a regional, early-stage investment conference focused on the rapidly growing medical technology sector. She did, and was accepted. Her presentation at the conference led to funding from angel investors. By March, Nickel had moved out of TSU's lab and into NTEC's operation in Frisco.
"NTEC has a great facility," Nickel says. "The wet lab space is very nice. I needed a BSL 2 lab, a level that allows the handling of hazardous bacteria. They did the things they needed to do to turn the lab into a BSL 2. They put some investment into having us come to the incubator."
NTEC also had some of the expensive electronic equipment required for DxUpClose's R&D, plus a machine shop decked out with all the tools needed for making prototypes.
To top things off, Zajicek's medical background gave DxUpClose access to expert advice it couldn't get at other business accelerators. The company does antibiotic resistance testing. Its test is quick—just one hour to test for antibiotic resistance, compared to the standard test now that takes 12 to 48 hours.
And, since DxUpClose's initial target market is urinary tract infections, Zajicek's background in nephrology—the study of kidneys—made for a perfect fit.
Like many North Texas entrepreneurs, Nickel had discovered the unique talents of Zajicek, 42, a medical doctor-turned-business promoter with a knack for spotting the promise in fledgling companies. Those talents are more valuable than ever, as Dallas-Fort Worth continues it years-long quest to become a force to be reckoned with in the life-sciences space.
Formative Years: Hubert Zajicek grew up in Vienna, Austria—a happy and content child, the eldest of his father Peter and mother Gerda Zajicek's four children.
Medicine was in the family's DNA. Zajicek's grandfather and father both were doctors. His father worked as a hospitalist—a role now taking on increased emphasis in the U.S. Hospitalists, who are based within hospitals, focus on acutely ill patients rather than run their own medical practices.
Zajicek's father, a cardiologist, specialized in treating complicated arrhythmias. But Peter Zajicek was a hybrid of sorts as he also had a separate private practice and made house calls. Hubert, as a youth, often accompanied him on those calls.
"It had a real neighborhood type of feel. When my dad was on vacation or gone, I'd get calls from his patients," he recalls.
Zajicek says he always wanted to be a doctor, and assumed that someday he'd take over his father's practice. To reach that goal, he attended medical school in Vienna, then accepted a post-doctorate fellowship at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Before all that, though, he fell in love with an American girl from Tyler, which was the key reason for his eventual immigration to the states.
At age 18, Zajicek participated in a summer Rotary International exchange program and became smitten with Beth McNally. With both parents' blessings, they managed to see each other over summer and Christmas vacations, and Beth spent her junior year of college abroad in Vienna. In an against-all-odds story, the two carried on a long-distance relationship for about eight years before getting married.
They made a pact that whomever completed medical school first would go join the other in their country. Zajicek finished first.
The two married in 1995 and, after graduating from medical school in Vienna, Zajicek arrived at UTSW a year later to do his fellowship.
Change in Direction: Zajicek decided to specialize in nephrology, an interest he developed in medical school. Within a year at UTSW, he became a National Institutes of Health fellow, with his research and salary funded through an NIH grant. In 2002, he joined the medical school's faculty.
After receiving his second grant, however, Zajicek began to look inward, thinking about his future career path. "I was looking back on my first five years. I had chosen a pure research path. … In essence it's very unlikely you will see your actual research ever having an impact on patients," he says. "It takes a very long time, and it may or may not happen."
But as a physician, Zajicek wanted to see that impact. He wanted to find a way to get closer to patients. "I've always had an interest in commercializing things," he says. "I always had that in me."
Ultimately, Zajicek decided he needed a good business education with a "proper MBA." So he enrolled in night classes at Southern Methodist University. He had no undergraduate degree in business. No accounting 101 experience. He hadn't taken calculus since high school, some 10 years earlier.
He felt like every step was harder for him, but he loved every minute of it. About a year and a half into the program, he learned about NTEC—now one of about a dozen local business incubators—and signed on as a volunteer scientific adviser.
"It was an opportunity to see startups and explore that world," he says.After graduating with his MBA in 2006, Zajicek joined NTEC that November and became its managing director of medical technology in 2011.
The NTEC Connection: Zajicek joined the incubator at the same time it was preparing to expand. By October 2008, NTEC had moved out of 10,000 square feet of provided office space into its own, 50,000-square-foot building in Frisco.
The incubator went from a dozen offices to 80 offices and from having only a dry lab to 10,000 square feet of wet lab space. It also added thousands of dollars worth of common-use medical technology equipment and a machine shop for making prototypes.
NTEC markets itself to entrepreneurs on its flexibility to allow them to grow or contract as needed. Entrepreneur Clark Terrill is a case in point.
For Terrill, NTEC had the ability to help his early-stage firm reach the next level of growth.
"It was around 2006, and we decided we needed growth capital," says Terrill, a Plano native who with his father had bootstrapped MDConnection, then a California-based company marketing Web-based management technology to physician groups.
"We were doing well, but weren't cash-flow-positive yet," he says. "At the time, we were strictly self-funded. We reached out to friends to ask who could help us, and we were introduced to Larry Calton [NTEC's executive director] and Hubert."
After meeting Calton and Zajicek and making a presentation to the board, MDConnection was accepted into the incubator, where it had access to affordable rent and a company adviser: Zajicek.
The first thing NTEC did was help the startup form a company board. Using Zajicek's Rolodex, they tapped people with skill sets complementary to the company. Those advisers helped MDConnection make connections with venture capitalists, write a new business plan, and prepare investor presentations.
"While we had a business plan, it was really outdated, and our strategy changed," Terrill says. "The business plan wasn't really adequate for what we wanted to do. Hubert helped us re-strategize and get something that would make sense for investors."
Unfortunately, MDConnection wasn't able to raise capital. Part of the problem: the Great Recession had hit.
"Nobody was investing. There were no deals being done," Terrill says. "VCs were not closing their funds. We were fundraising, really, at the wrong time. But the happy side to that is it forced us to make some strategic decisions to bootstrap ourselves and get to profitability without investors, which we did thanks to Hubert's strategy and the board he put together."
Terrill says there's no question that the company reached profitability faster due to NTEC's resources, advisers, and strategic help. "We had no idea how to open those doors," he says. "And really that was all Hubert. He was our main adviser."
For OxySure Systems, one of NTEC's first companies, the medical hub proved to be a perfect fit, even for the short time it was there. The company, which makes medically pure oxygen from a powder technology, moved into NTEC in early 2004 and stayed about two years. It is now housed across the street in its own facility, built with the help of incentives from the Frisco Economic Development Corp.
"For us, back then, it was a network to plug into for advice and ideas," says Julian Ross, OxySure chairman and CEO. "We've maintained our relationships. I look at NTEC and how it has grown since we left. A big chunk of it is under Hubert's leadership."
Medventures Success: Besides his dedication to advising companies, Zajicek also has led the charge on NTEC's successful MedVentures conference, now in its fourth year.
Mike Bartlett, an angel investor and himself an entrepreneur, attends the conference every year, often serving as a panelist. He met Zajicek while Zajicek was still a UTSW professor. Bartlett, who spent a career at Texas Instruments, was the initial chairman of the North Texas Angel Network, where he remains an active member. The group has about 55 accredited investor members who meet 10 times a year to review startups and make investments.
"Lately, probably our biggest area of investment has been in medical startups," Bartlett says. The network has invested in a handful of NTEC companies.
Joe Cunningham, a venture capitalist and medical doctor, is another investor keeping tabs on NTEC, MedVentures, and Zajicek, whom he's known for about nine years.
Cunningham is managing director of Sante, a VC firm based in Austin and Houston that closed its $130 million Sante II fund in December 2011. With all its investments in life sciences, Sante focuses on the middle of the country with a preference for Texas-based entrepreneurs. Sante has not yet invested in an NTEC firm, but that doesn't keep it from maintaining close ties and continually watching for investment opportunities.
Cunningham firmly believes cities like Dallas need business incubators like NTEC to grow a life-science entrepreneurial community. Dallas, historically, has lagged behind Austin and Houston in entrepreneurship, he says, but incubators like NTEC are helping to raise DFW's profile.
"Every city in America sees biotech as a hot area," Cunningham says. "The ones that succeed in transforming into a hub are when they have a hit. That's how Austin became an IT center. There is some degree of luck involved in that."
Zajicek is circumspect about the big "hit" concept. He admits NTEC is still on the hunt for a company that makes it big after being nurtured there. But he believes DFW as a whole is well situated for medical technology growth.
"We are still chasing the elusive big hit—which could be a good thing, because, with a big hit, you can also get a big fall," he says.
"You have to let capitalism run its course," he adds. "Do we play a role in facilitating startups, propping them up? We are very sensitive to that. We want to help startups, but they have to raise capital based on the criteria that the market sets for them. I could help you all I want.
If the investor isn't going to put money into you, you are not fundable."
Nickel's DxUpClose, meantime, is in the midst of raising $1.1 million in its Series A funds. The funding should get it through the development process into the next phase—manufacturing validation. She credits NTEC, and Zajicek, with helping quicken the company's growth pace.
"Hubert—the blend between his research background and his business expertise—is a good thing to have in an incubator like NTEC," Nickel says. "He understands the scientific technology, and he understands the business. When he gives advice, it always tends to be very good advice."

Drying Flowers for Everlasting Beauty (page 3 of 5)
by Braddock Bull
Using Desiccants
Gently cover fresh flowers with silica gel.
Don't air-dry all types of flowers. Preserve fragile and moist blooms like anemones, daisies, pansies, and zinnias with desiccants such as silica gel or a borax-sand mix. Silica gel isn't a true gel, but a granulated chemical desiccant composed partly of silicon. You can buy silica at florist shops, craft supply stores, and hardware stores. It's not cheap, however. Expect to pay about $15 for a 5-pound bag. The good news is that it can be reused indefinitely. Most silica gel products are blue when dry enough to use, but turn pink when they've absorbed moisture. (Some silica products are white.) If the silica you have has turned pink, dry it out by baking it in a 200?F oven until it turns blue, and cool it before using or storing in an airtight container.
Many dried flower enthusiasts report that borax crystals work just as well and are much less expensive than silica gel. Mix 3 parts borax with 2 parts dry, silver "hobby" sand. Follow instructions for silica-gel drying, but use at least 2 inches of mix over and underneath the flowers, and double the drying time.
How to Dry Flowers With Silica. Silica-gel drying is done in shallow, airtight, plastic (or glass) containers or trays. I dry many flowers at once using a 10- by 18-inch airtight plastic container. Yours need not be that big, but make sure that the flowers aren't crowded. Spread the flowers out, faceup, on a 1-inch (minimum depth) bed of crystals. Carefully spoon or sprinkle more silica on top until you've completely covered the flowers with at least another inch of crystals. Drying flowers with single-petal structures, such as daisies, facedown is another technique, but my results have been identical using both approaches. To dry flowers facedown, create a small mound for the flower head, place the flower head facedown on it, and add silica over the flower until it is covered. Flowers can be almost touching, and because similar kinds of flowers dry at the same rate, you may wish to group similar blooms in the same container. Seal the container, and don't disturb it for three to four days.
Remove delicate blossoms very carefully. Shake or brush off the crystals lightly with a soft artist's paintbrush. Leaving flowers in desiccant too long makes them very fragile, so remove flowers right away once you've determined that they're dry enough.
A Note About Sunflowers. Drying large sunflowers (6 inches or more in diameter) requires some improvisation because of their size. Keep approximately 24 inches of stem attached when you dry sunflowers. Cover the heads with crystals, but let the stems hang over the container's side. Seal it all in plastic kitchen wrap, and leave untouched for at least a week to 10 days. Large sunflowers take a long time to dry, even in silica.

Muhammed, (ca. 570 Mecca -- June 8, 632 Medina),[6] is the central human figure of the religion of Islam and is regarded by Muslims as the messenger and prophet of God (Arabic: الله Allāh), the last and the greatest in a series of prophets of Islam. Muslims consider him the restorer of the uncorrupted original monotheistic faith (islām) of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Noah and other prophets of Islam.[7][8][9] He was also active as a diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, military general, and, according to Muslim belief, an agent of divine action.[10]
Born in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca,[11] he was orphaned at a young age and was brought up under the care of his uncle. He later worked mostly as a merchant, and was first married by age 26. Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. islām) is the only way (dīn)[12] acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and other prophets in Islam.[13][14][9]
Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from some tribes of Mecca; he was treated harshly and so were his followers. To escape persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622. This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina Muhammad managed to unite the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca. In 632 a few months after returning to Medina from his Farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of his death most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam.[15]
The revelations (or Ayats, lit. "Signs of God"), which Muhammad reported receiving until his death, form the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the "word of God", around which his religion is based. Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad's life (sira) and traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.[16] While conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom and premodern times were largely negative, appraisals in modern times have been far less so.[14][17] Besides this, his life and deeds have been debated by followers and opponents over the centuries.[18]

ZF-4269: Zend_Captcha_Image should check if a file with the unique name already exists
Zend_Captcha_Image should check if a file with the generated unique name already exists. On systems where there is a high load it could happen that a unique id gets generated twice. I know this is very unlikely but it could happen.
After generation of the id there should be an check if a file with that name already exists and if yes a new id should be generated. I have created a fix that i will append to this issue. If the unique id generation fails three times an exception will be thrown.
Added logic to the generate method to check if a filename with the generated it exists, if yes a new id will be generated. If the generation fails three times an exception will be thrown.
Ugh, i just saw that there is a suffix property that should be used instead of hardcoding the suffix into the path like in my patch file. Because there is no way to delete or reupload previously uploaded fixes i wont reprovide the changed verison to avoid confusion.
Did you actually see it happen? This requires that PHP random generator would give the same number in same microsecond for two processes. Is it a real problem?
I did not saw it happen but it could happen. And prevention is better then a late reaction.
fixed, thanks

This 1 star is actually a zero but i had to put some number in. Cross Contamination from here was just stupidity! Sandwich 1- they didn't get the lettuce, tomatoes from a clean spot. Okay so remake! Sandwich 2- is delivered, I've ate 2 or 3 bites when the manager comes to talk to me to apologize for sandwich number 1. As we are talking I mention that all condiments usually come out of uncontaminated dishes, even the mayo comes out of packets not the dish. He pauses, looks at me funny then continues. So I ask "it did come out of packets right?" Nope- fresh condiments but ummm duh, lets get the mayo out of a dish that's been spreading sandwiches from regular bread all day! Oh yeah, blisters before we make it to the door! I took all my allergy stuff... They ain't lieing when they say each cross contamination is worse than the one before it! Seriously inconsiderate, lazy, or ignorant people!!! Update- today is Wednesday and I am still extremely sick and taking allergy and stomach medicine like crazy, I wouldn't wish what I have on anyone. But anyone in food service should experience this just once!!!! Oh and to top it off the manager informs me that they don't have to "deal with anything like this" at the store he just come from in Wichita Ks- so folks there need to be careful too! Will not ever again eat here and strongly suggest anyone with allergies avoid this place too!
I have never gotten sick at this location. The GF bread is always fresh!
17275 North 79th Ave Suite 100, Glendale, AZ 85308
Got food poisoning here (not just glutened). They denied, denied, denied. Avoid!!
2159 York Rd, Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093
Gluten free options are not intended for people who actually need to eat gluten free. Nothing wrong with the food quality as far as I'm aware.
410 North Hurstbourne Parkway, Louisville, KY 40222
Great chicken salad sandwich made with pineapple!
2000 N Rock Road Ste 108, Wichita, KS 67208
Not for people with celiac. cross contamination is very possible. they assure that they change gloves, etc, they assured us the chips were gluten free, but they weren't. great food, but my son couldn't eat there.
824 Woods Crossing Road, Greenville, SC 29607
Awesome place for celiac to go. I go regularly with friends! There is a good salad bar, baked potato or a range of sandwhiches on gluten free bread. Ice cream comes with every meal.
943 North Green River Road, Evansville, IN 47715
My wife and I have had multiple good experiences here with both salads and sandwiches. I'm extremely gluten sensitive and have never had an issue.
95 N Moorland Rd, Brookfield, WI 53005
I have Celiac and have eaten at many Jason's Deli restaurants, including this one. I've never gotten sick. Plus, they have prepackaged soft Udi cookies for dessert that are so delicious!!
2311 Santa Barbara, Cape Coral, FL 33991
I have Celiac and two of my children also have gluten allergies. We LOVE Jason's Deli! We come at least a few times per month and appreciate the GF options and care that they take in avoiding cross-contamination. 😊
178 S. Rio Grande Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
They use Udi's bread and follow safe practices when preparing sandwiches.
12320 L Street, Omaha, NE 68137
staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. several menu options for gf
2115 Gunbarrel Road, Chattanooga, TN 37421
New menu with designed gluten free items. Now offer gluten free bread for all sandwiches!
775 Yard Street #190, Grandview Heights, OH 43212
So very delicious!! I had a turkey sandwich with tomato and provolone and it was very good! Great about cross contamination!
775 Yard Street #190, Grandview Heights, OH 43212
So very delicious!! I had a turkey sandwich with tomato and provolone and it was very good! Great about cross contamination!
3910 University Ave, West Des Moines, IA 50266
They are very thorough with preventing cross contamination and have lots of options on their menu. I highly recommend them!
745 E Joyce Blvd #114, Fayetteville, AR 72703
I can only speak for the prepared entrees - I am a pretty sensitive celiac so I never risk the salad bar and all the cross contamination. They have such a great array of sandwiches, and they take such pains to limit cross contamination, that I almost never order sandwiches elsewhere. Most places I just wouldn't risk a sandwich if I couldn't see it being prepared! Here they change their gloves and use a dedicated prep space. The manager is incredibly helpful and has helped me choose gluten free side items on many occasions. Also the free ice cream machine and chocolate sauce are gluten free!
4130 East 82nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46250
Entire gluten free menu! Very friendly staff! Even though one staff didn't know my answers, the other staff was very knowledgeable and helped trained her on gf. My son had the gluten free chicken nuggets, which he was less impressed with, but it's a great place to try. If you are Celiac however, they do warn that there is possible cc and more for gluten sensitivities and diets than people diagnosed with celiac
9026 North Skyview Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64154
We had never heard of this chain, but stumbled upon this location when we were looking for some quick food before heading to the airport. Their GF disclaimer is pretty long, but it shows that they understand the severity of cross contamination. Ask for the GF menu at the register because the GF options are not listed on the hanging menu. We each got soup and salads and were very pleased. The kitchen is open, so you can watch them prepare your food. I watched them change gloves and put everything on a separate purple cutting board. When our food arrived, it was all labeled gluten free. It seems like cross contamination would be a fear here, but from what I saw they take every precaution and take cross contamination seriously. Steer clear of the salad bar, obviously. Pasta and croutons everywhere! There's also free ice cream! My husband wiped down the nozzle and we each had a small bowl of ice cream. What a treat! This location is literally five minutes from the airport(we even saw it from the airplane after we took off), so it's a great location. We had a great experience at Jason's Deli and we left wishing there were locations in Massachusetts.
4545 N Oracle Rd Suite 121, Tucson, AZ 85705
Somewhat limited menu, but the salad I had was great and the staff was knowledgeable.
6260 W 95th Street, Oaklawn, IL 60453
Exceptional service, food, and knowledgable staff. Plus, free soft serve ice cream for dessert is a win!
1509 W New Haven Ave, Melbourne, FL 32904
We came in right before closing. The guy behind the counter asked about a gluten allergy and said he would prepare the food separately with new gloves on to avoid cross contamination. Good sandwich. Too soon to tell if I'll react because I just finished it but so far so good.
2700 Richmond Rd #16, Texarkana, TX 75503
I have CD and they were very careful ! 👍
1330 E. 15th Street, Tulsa, OK 74120
Pro: They offer GF (Bread, Cookie) but Con: Staff doesn't take it seriously. I never saw the staff changed gloves after handling Non-GF bread. Manager ask "how GF are you" after making a sandwich without GF Bread.
78 SE 33rd Street, Edmond, OK 73013
Pretty sure of a cross contamination
Dallas Love Field Airport, 8008 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas, TX 75235
no gluten free menu at the airport :(
951 W. I-20 Suite 109, Arlington, TX 76017
This chain, including this store, consistently provides an extremely safe environment for eating gluten and dairy free. I feel very confident eating here. Since I don't have many choices, I eat here frequently. Some of the staff members know me -- and almost have my usual order memorized! I am very pleased to recommend Jasons.
4554 Virginia Beach Blvd. Suite 980, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
I was glutened here today. I love the many options they try to provide for the gluten free community and this made me very trusting of their training with handling food for those with allergies, however I absolutely believe there was an issue with cross contamination at this location. I was very, very sick after eating lunch here and will not be returning to this location. If you eat here I would definitely stand at the counter and watch them make your food.
12320 L Street, Omaha, NE 68137
Staff super friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of menu choices!
20117 US-19, Cranberry Twp, PA 16066
My new favorite place to eat!!
19755 Hwy 59 N, Humble, TX 77338
Great GF bread. I love this place
8421 Brier Creek Pkwy. #101, Raleigh, NC 27617
omg. the gal who took our order got it wrong. I'm allergic to wheat and cannot afford to have a mistake. I was very clear. I am allergic and need my food prepared separate with clean knives. she said no problem. got my sandwich and it was regular rye. good thing I know the difference. took it to the manager. made the correct one but no remorse. it could have killed me
9525 East County Line Rd, Englewood, CO 80112
They have a whole gluten "free" menu with lots of choices. So glad I found them!
1506 Airport Boulevard, Pensacola, FL 32504
Basically clueless on what gluten free means! We ordered a gluten free hot dog off of their children's menu for my son who has Celiacs. It came with an allergy sticker on it. I opened it up & it obviously was a regular hot dog bun. I went to the counter & was told by the manager, "we don't have gluten free buns, but we did follow protocol by changing our gloves." They gave me a cold piece of untoasted bread with the hot dog. My son ended up eating my gluten free turkey sandwich which was terrible.
10225 Research Blvd. Suite 1010, Austin, TX 78759
I always get a turkey sandwich with tomato, lettuce and avocado. I also get chips and a gf cookie if they have it. Love it. I was cautious at first because it seems cross contamination would be an issue there but I never had any issue with illness after eating there
4130 East 82nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46250
Love the gluten free chicken nuggets. I have dairy, soy, and egg intolerances too. Staff even looked up salad dressings for dairy & soy to be sure they were giving me the proper info. Excellent experience! Will be back.
975 Savannah Highway #9, Charleston, SC 29407
Great and plentiful GF options! The staff are very knowledgeable too.
2530 University Blvd., Houston, TX 77005
Lots of gluten free options here. I have never had any issues after eating here with my gluten sensitivity. Great food!
2120 Cumberland Ave, Knoxville, TN 37916
Always a great option. I get the salad bar with the GS nuggets. The salad bar offers GF salad dressing on the sides and the hummus is always yummy. Also had an Udi's snicker doodle cookie for dessert.
4130 East 82nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46250
great GF food and awesome service!
3473 Poplar Ave. Ste 102, Memphis, TN 38111
Best Jason's Deli in Memphis, never had a problem here.
12010 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS 66210
Used to be one of my (celiac) daughter's favorite 'special places' until she was poisoned! The manager was rude and acted like my concerns were a huge problem for him and his staff. We won't set foot in here again, sadly. Pretty sure it was cross-contaminated fruit served with her food
1005 Hanes Mall Blvd., Winston-Salem, NC 27103
I recently found out that I have Celiacs, so I've been very cautious about what and where I eat. This is the only place I have been thus far, and I will have to say I am very pleased. They do have a gluten free menu, including gluten free bread, and go far beyond to make sure you are taken care of. The manager himself saw to it that my food was prepared correctly and that no cross contamination occured. My sandwich was made separately and put into a box, my soup was put into a sealed container, and he opened a fresh bag of chips to serve me out of. I've eaten there twice and haven't noticed any real problems.
20117 US-19, Cranberry Twp, PA 16066
Lots of options from soups, salads, sandwiches on Udis bread to dessert. I had the quinoa shrimp and mango salad, which was very tasty.
13550 Reflections Parkway #1-101, Fort Myers, FL 33907
This place is amazing!! Lots of GF choices and free ice cream! Plus the workers are very knowledgeable.
8421 Brier Creek Pkwy. #101, Raleigh, NC 27617
Nice GF choices. Not looking to be healthy today got a small order of nuggets and a small loaded baked potato.
17245 Chesterfield Airport Road, Chesterfield, MO
This is a favorite of ours, GF nuggets and soups. My girls never gotten sick.
1122 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240
they are awesome so careful
1416 Airline, Corpus Christi, TX 78412
Enjoyed this place!!! Great food! A lot of gluten free options and the bread was actually amazing!
13550 Reflections Parkway #1-101, Fort Myers, FL 33907
Gluten free bread available. They warn that their food may not be suitable for Celiac's but I've eaten here twice without any issues. Sandwiches are really good.
95 N Moorland Rd, Brookfield, WI 53005
Their menu notes Gluten Sensitive items, but does note that everything is made in a shared kitchen.
2907 Washington Road, Bldg 500, Augusta, GA 30909
If they would allow a Zero I would have given it. Jason's Deli was recommended because of their extensive Gluten-Free selection. A friend and I went there today (2/16/16) for some takeout. Having Celiac makes going out to eat very restrictive so I was looking forward to something new. I asked the cashier / Takeout order guy for the "Gluten-Sensitive" menu. He was clueless! He fumbled around some cabinets for a couple of minutes until I recommended he ask his supervisor. He walked over to a man in a dress shirt several feet away. Within my hearing, the dress shirt guy said "We're busy, tell him you can't find it"!!! I intended to discuss this poor customer service incident with the manager, until I found out that the clown in the dress shirt IS the General Manager! Since I am an inconvenience to Jason's Deli I will not spend a dime there! Sincerely, Schatze Manly

A Night at the Zoo
Nearly 700 party animals, including longtime zoo supporter Betty White, Valerie Bertinelli and Zoo Director John R. Lewis, took a walk on the wild side at the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association's 43rd annual Beastly Ball. Guests mingled with creatures great and small, such as Sam the one-eyed skink and Dolly the California condor, while perusing the grounds, sipping cocktails and savoring a bounty of food. The evening culminated in an auction and the presentation of the Tom Mankiewicz Leadership Award to Pauley Perrette for her leadership in wildlife conservation. Photography by Jamie Pham

A 44-year-old Middletown man was reportedly robbed at gunpoint while jogging in the Longmeadow neighborhood late Sunday afternoon, according to police.
The man was running in the area of Sweethollow Drive about 5:20 p.m. when two men – including one who was armed with a handgun – stopped him demanded valuables, according to Middleton Police Lt. Michael Iglio.
The victim turned over an iPod and the muggers fled the area on foot, he said.
The victim was not injured.
Police are now asking for the public's help in identifying the assailants.
Both of the men are described as black, between the ages of 19 and 21, about 5'10" and roughly 200 pounds.
The armed mugger had a goatee and was last seen wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and denim pants.
His accomplice was last seen wearing a white hooded-sweatshirt and had a white scarf pulled over his face, police said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Middletown Police Department at (302) 376-9950 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) 847-3333.

text: Women are different. Women have different healthcare issues and concerns than men. Additionally, in this day and age, women's health issues are deeply woven into the framework of their daily life experiences. Demanding work environments, childcare concerns and the stress of everyday living can take its toll on a woman's physical and psychological health. Too often we dismiss our own health needs to meet the needs of our loved ones. Women, throughout their life span, require different focuses on health promotion, maintenance, and restoration depending on age and health status. The Frederick community is growing in diversity and size. This draws attention to, and highlights the magnitude of how important it is to identify and address the needs of all women and their unique requirements for health and wellness. Symptoms of medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, manifests itself differently in women. It is the leading cause of death for women in America; one out of four women will die each year due to its devastating effects. This challenges women to take charge and become educated to identify critical warning signs which are often times subtle and misdiagnosed. There are also medical conditions that exist only in women such as pregnancy, post-partum depression, ovarian cancer and menopause. These conditions require specialized care. Together with highly trained and experienced healthcare providers, Frederick Memorial Hospital and its various outpatient facilities provide services to encompass spiritual, physical, psychological, and culturally sensitive healthcare for women and their exclusive needs. Across a woman's lifespan, screening tests are available for early detection of acute and chronic conditions. Immunizations and preventative medical treatment are typically offered at annual health maintenance exams. This is a particularly important time to address issues you may be experiencing or concerned about as a woman. Please explore our Women's Health web pages and discover the variety of comprehensive services FMH provides to meet your unique needs as a woman and those of your loved ones. Best of all, FMH provides specialty services so that you can stay close to home and have your healthcare needs met in the community where you live. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Women's Health Navigator, mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com or 240-215-1447.• View a calendar of all upcoming events

Yes, my friends, after years spent shuffling around in ballet flats, it's time for me to take a new lover. The loafer is back. I know, I KNOW, reunited and it feels so good.
It's all about comfort, my friends, because much as I'd love to be the gal who thinks six-inch heels are as comfy as slippers, when it comes to errand-running, subway-riding, and multiple-city-block-schlepping, I need me some flats.
This season loads of retailers have jumped on board, and so there is much to consider. Look for metal accents, texture (calf hair, tweed) and a rainbow of colors, and go for a more feminine silhouette for your starter pair (more like a smoking loafer…almost, dare I say, slipper-esque…void of all that late 1980's early 1990's chunky-ness) and go from there. Happy feet are here again.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Guido Wine-down holder Easy to use,holds wine really well, adds to the celler decor August 6, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by 57tigger I own several! I own 3 and have asked Santa for a 4th. I have also purchased for wedding & birthday gifts and the recipients loved them. Great value for the capacity!! December 14, 2008
Rated 4 out of 5 by JessieK Good value Good product. I do wish it would hold all bottle sizes better. You can fit them in...tight though and limits space in the bordering slots. I still purchased a second one since it is a good value and I have other racks that can hold pinot noir and sparkling. October 18, 2008
Rated 4 out of 5 by PTG We were very happy with the wine rack Arrived promptly, fully asembled, except for a knot on the top shelf (which we had to paint), we were satisfied. Thank you! June 13, 2008
Rated 3 out of 5 by DAP Good value For the price, it is a fairly good buy. It holds 24 bottles securely. It is a little narrow which makes item a little less sturdy but still does the job. Only problem is that the openings are too small to hold most sparkling wine bottles and a few that are larger around. Still, a good size rack that accomplishes its required task. July 17, 2008
Rated 1 out of 5 by Michelina Poor Quality This wine rack was not as it was depicted on your World Market Web site. This pine wood wine rack was put together so poorly and cheaply that it should have never been offered for sale. It looked as if it were made from scrap pine wood and staples and nails. It was not up to the quality I have received in the past from World Market. We did return the item. April 3, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by disappointed Waste of money when i purchased wine holder over 1yr seemed to hold alot of my favorite wine {minus pinotbottles} but with holding all that great wine it has warped forcing me to go to a metal wine rack. May 13, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by s poorly designed and made be careful; back comes off; bottles rub together January 29, 2010

UAlbany Strategic Planning Process
In the Fall 2009 semester, President George Philip initiated a strategic planning process to help define the University's path forward. This strategic planning process was coordinated with both the Middle States review process, as well as the then-emerging SUNY-wide strategic plan. The goals of this strategic planning process were to, as a University community, create a new statement of our mission, a statement of our strategic goals, and a 5-7 year strategic blueprint for achieving our objectives.
The strategic planning process began with an overview of innovations and emerging trends in higher education to help us consider how the University at Albany can best serve the needs of a local, State, regional, national and global population in the future. The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC), representative of the breadth of campus constituencies, undertook an examination of economic and environmental trends, social and political trends, trends in higher education, the interests of UAlbany stakeholders, and institutional strengths and weaknesses. Based on the analyses of the SPC, input from community forums, town halls, and individual comment, the plan presented on this website reflects the collective work of over 300 faculty, staff, and students, alumni, and members of the greater capital district community.

Our weekend involved some really good food. Friday was our date night
so we grabbed, one of my favorites, lamb gyros. I think I could eat
these every day. The next day I went to our local market and a good
friend of ours who is an organic farmer gave me some lettuce and fiddle
head ferns. I also picked up some purple carrots to puree for Israel.
Later I made a cold peanut chicken salad with soba noodeles, cilantro
and cucumber-amazing!

I listen to the Paul Rhodes show last night hoping to hear some word on Josh, nothing again was mention from either CPR or John W. Will he be red-shirted. How serious is his injury?
He wont get a redshirt. Already played too much. But for an injury that was day to day 4 weeks ago, it's frustrating not to see him on the field when we need him.
I was wonder the same thing. He was in pads on the sideline Saturday but no helmet around.
You could tell on the pass he caught in the OU game he wasn't even close to 100%. He caught the ball and was incredibly slow running with it.
Dingo got him.

Don't ask Steele Jantz, he can never find him.
Oh, and it's Rhoads OP

Might as well not ask Barnett either. I wouldn't call lawn darts a couple yards in front of Lenz finding him either.
Lenz is our deep threat and best receiver when healthy, and if he's not near 100% for KU our offense will still be crippled. Maybe he was withheld against Texas hoping to get him near 100% for the last 2 games.
I would not mind seeing James White as a WR for some deep balls. He is fast enough and we have other running backs.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Not even listed on depth chart for KU game...... Neither is Watson(would rather have him for WV)....

He also has better hands than most of our receivers lately.
Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams Rhoads on Josh Lenz: Says he feels sick for him. Calls the injury tough to come back from. #Cyclones

This should come as no surprise to anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention to the ongoing theft and fraud being perpetrated by the "too big to jail" financial oligarchs. J.P. Morgan in particular these days seems to have its grubby, crony paws in almost every degree of theft one can imagine. From Vatican money laundering, to running the food stamp program, to ripping off U.S. veterans, these guys have all their bases covered. The latest? Well it seems they were right there in the center of the latest scandal at the oldest bank in the world; Italy's Monte dei Paschi. From Reuters:
Feb 6 (Reuters) – Monte dei Paschi lied to the Bank of Italy about the terms of the so-called FRESH 2008 hybrid instrument, worth around 1 billion euros, which it used to partly fund its acquisition of Antonveneta, prosecutors alleged in a document obtained by Reuters on Wednesday.
In the document, prosecutors alleged that Monte dei Paschi's then chief financial officer Marco Morelli had signed an indemnity document in favour of J.P. Morgan which was hidden from the regulator. J.P. Morgan in 2008 underwrote a 1 billion euro capital increase in Monte dei Paschi, and then structured the Fresh 2008 hybrid instrument, convertible in Monte dei Paschi's shares, and sold it to a number of investors.
J.P. Morgan in Milan declined to comment.
Of course they did. J.P. Morgan only likes to comment when Jaime Dimon is running his big mouth about how important his crony ass is.
Yep, clearly civilization would cease to exist without the too big to jail bankers.

| Moving Up the Ladder - Setting Up for a Promotion
by Alexia Vernon and Tim Muma - Sep, 2013
As skills and experience play a role in developing one's career, it's important to think about getting promoted and moving up (or laterally) within the organization. Alexia Vernon, a career author, speaker and trainer, gives Tim Muma and our listeners some tips on ways they can set themselves up for a promotion. Whether it's the way we think, how we act or the persona we give off, everything can play a role in advancing our c...
4 Ways Young Professionals Can Stand Out in a Crowded Job Market
by Alexia Vernon - Dec, 2010
I've had the privilege of chatting with a lot of students and recent grads on the book tour, and one of the questions I often get asked is: How can I make myself stand out when a lot of other applicants have more education and professional experience? I always start by saying "breathe." Then, I usually recommend the following: 1. Request informational interviews with leaders in your target companies BEFORE they post jobs yo...
Does Your Brand Really Communicate What You Think It Does?
by Alexia Vernon - Dec, 2010
Although we like to think that we are pretty good at identifying how others see us, most of us can still use a studio audience from time-to-time to test out our assumptions. I received a clear reminder of this in one of my recent workshops. When sharing her WOW Factor–the 3 most significant and positive qualities about herself–a participant mentioned something that really didn't ring true for me in the couple of hours I had sp...
Give Your Career a 360
by Alexia Vernon - Dec, 2010
I'm a big fan of individual and organizational feedback–that which comes from others as well as the self-directed, self-reflective kind. When we give ourselves opportunities to take stock we get clearer on what is working (so we can do more of it) as well as that which isn't working (so that we can self-correct and do less of it). We also stay connected to our personal power. It's just so darn easy to believe that we are puppe...
Renovate Your Informational Interview Strategy
by Alexia Vernon - Nov, 2010
First, in an informational interview you have an opportunity to learn about a specific company. A lot of jobseekers, particularly young professionals, use informational interviews for this reason. Most of the time we actually know quite a bit about the particular company, and that's why we're in the room. We aspire to work there. If this is the case, make sure you ask questions you don't already know the answer to. Use the kno...

There are the basics visual art, performance art, fine art as well as culinary arts and the art of entertaining.
Susan Odell is an expert on the latter two. She is a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu School of Cooking and the founder of the foodell.com website that teaches home cooks an array of easy, but elegant dishes.
Odell will give the free Art Talk this month at the Kimball Art Center, 638 Park Ave., on Thursday, Dec. 13, at 6 p.m.
She will give tips on how to make simple meals look beautiful on the plate and on the table.
"I will also offer suggestions about garnishes, platters and colors," Odell said during an interview with The Park Record. "Then I'll take briefly about entertaining, and show that you don't have to kill yourself while preparing everything, so you can enjoy the party, too."
Odell started cooking while living in San Francisco a few years ago.
"I used to work in investment management at a high-stress job in San Francisco," she said. "I traveled a lot and needed a hobby to take my mind off work when I got home."
So, she began taking night cooking classes.
"I loved them," she said. "I had read a book, 'A Year in Provence' by Peter Mayle, and it was about going to these local markets in France and finding delicious breads, cheeses and wines and making simple foods. That really got me excited about cooking."
Odell's goal was to learn how to entertain guests and make food that tasted good.
"That felt like a great lifestyle for me, and I didn't start to cook at all until I was 35, because when you live in a big city, you can eat anything, anywhere at anytime," she said.
Soon afterwards, Odell and her husband moved to Australia for business reasons and she found a Le Cordon Bleu school of cooking had just opened in Sydney.
"I kept going and ended up completing the full program and got my diploma in 2000," she said. "That meant I needed to finish in the London or Paris school, so I went to London for three months to get the degree, and that committed me and got me more excited about food."
After graduating, Odell did some catering and worked in a bakery for a while, before finding her true love teaching.
Three years ago, she established www.foodell.com , which helps get her classes to more people globally.
" that time, I had been holding live cooking classes and spreading the word about how important cooking is in the home as to getting the family back together, eating well and eating healthily," she said. "Since moving to Park City seven years ago, I have taught cooking classes at No Place Like Home and in Salt Lake for the University of Utah's Lifelong Learning program.
"The website has taken years of presentations and cooking demonstrations and specific food knowledge and putting those things on the web for everyone to enjoy," Odell said.
The Kimball Art Center, 638 Park Ave., will present an Art Talk by culinary artist Susan Odell, on Thursday, Dec. 13, from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.kimballartcenter.org/art-talk/

PANAMA CITY- Bringing a new baby home can be overwhelming for any new parent, but financial instability or a past history of abuse can put the families at risk. That is why the Healthy Families program at the Life Management Center exists. It provides in-home education and support for high risk families, teaching positive parenting techniques to avoid abuse and neglect.
Little Kennedy's smiles and giggles are the sights and sounds of a success story. Her family has come a long way. Her mom Emily was a tenth grader at Mosley High School when she got pregnant with 3-year-old Kennedy. When her brother Noah arrived prematurely at 32 weeks, Emily was overwhelmed. "I didn't know what to do. If it wasn't for the NICU and then me going home and having her I would be lost," said Emily Hawkins. She's talking about Victoria Everett, her "Healthy Families" case worker. "She needed some motivation so I would visit her, encourage her, I was kind of like a life support for her," said Victoria. "She is like another mom to me," said Emily.
Victoria helped Emily set goals and achieve them, including getting her GED, finding a job, a place to live, and marrying the father of her children. "She pretty much helped me achieve goals that I didn't think would happen without this program," said Emily.
The Healthy Families program is currently helping 65 at-risk families find stability by reaching one milestone at a time. "They are evaluated base on different life circumstances. It could be that it is a single parent home, could be low income, maybe someone has just lost their job different, stressors that are in their life that can make things even harder on someone who has just had a child," said Tricia Pearce, Community Relations Specialist with the Family Life Center in Panama City.
The program will soon be doubled, allowing 115 at-risk families get healthier with each goal they meet. "If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have accomplished anything," said Emily.
Funding for the Healthy Families program comes from the Federal Ounce of Prevention fund, but also requires locally raised funds to show the community's commitment to the program. That is why they are hosting a Girls Night Out and BUNCO tournament Friday, July 26th, at 5:30 at FSU-PC, cost is $25 if you register by the 19th. Click on the link provided for more information.

Men's Squash Falls At Harvard 9-0, Will Take On Dartmouth Sunday
The Tigers, who have already played three Top 6 teams on the road this season, nearly pulled out a trio of matches against the 2013 national finalist. In the first shift, Dylan Ward, who clinched back-to-back regular season wins over Harvard, built a 2-1 lead over Dylan Murray at the No. 3 spot. The final two games were both tight, but Murray won both by 11-9 scores.
That win gave the Crimson a 3-0 lead and left Princeton in a must-win situation during the second shift. The junior duo of Tyler Osborne (No. 2) and Taylor Tutrone (No. 8) nearly pulled victories off, but both fell in five.
Tutrone opened his match against Nigel Koh with a tough 12-10 win, and he opened a 2-1 lead with an 11-9 win in the third. Koh won the fourth and held off Tutrone 11-9 in the fifth.
Osborne found himself down 1-0, but he scored wins of 11-9 and 12-10 to open a lead. The fifth game would be close, but Brandon McLaughlin held off Osborne for the 11-8 win.
Those matches clinched the win for Harvard, which closed the match with a trio of 3-0 wins. At the No. 1 spot, 2012 national champion Ali Farag held off Princeton junior Samuel Kang in two tough games before eventually claiming a 3-0 win.
Princeton will try to split its Ivy weekend Sunday when it takes on Dartmouth at noon.

I'm looking for a place in Tanzania that has the same qualities as Zanzibar (beach, food and rest), but preferable with less tourism and maybe even cheaper prices. Preferable somewhere with access to lodges at the beach. Does such a place exist?
When I was travelling in Tanzania, some local people recommended Pangani Beach as an alternative to Zanzibar. It's located in the Tanga Region, and it is supposed to be much quieter and less touristy.
I didn't go there myself - we opted to do Zanzibar instead. If you do decide to go to Zanzibar, Nungwi is definitely the most touristy spot. Kendwa is a few kilometers away and is quieter, but still has enough to do to keep you occupied. Note that when I say Nungwi is touristy, I mean that there are about 20 hotels lining the beach - that's pretty much of it. As soon as you step off the beach however, you're in a local village.
Not Tanzania, but nearby Kenya has Lamu, another island along the cost. It's smaller than Zanzibar, but was settled by the same people, so has most of the same style of tiny cramped streets. You may be able to find some beach side hotels there, but since it's so less touristy, selection might be limited. I know it's hard to get beer on Lamu. I can't say I found Zanzibar expensive though. And if you have white skin you'll attract attention all over the place in Africa, so it might be less "touristy" but you'll still get hassled.
Here's some of my photos of Lamu (for the record here's my photos of Zanzibar).
It should be obvious from yhe other answers to this question, but for the sake of clarity, there is no alternative to Zanzibar in Tanzania that is even remotely comparable to Zanzibar.
You probably have two options only: the beach south of the bay from Dar and Bagamoyo, some 60 kilometers north of Dar. Everything else is so remote, they might be interesting in their own right, but also won't be a real alternative to Zanzibar in any way. You might get good beaches, but the quality of your accommodation will be bad or very expensive and food will also be very limited or very expensive.

Many women think of heart disease as a man's disease. In reality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death for women age 65 and older and the second leading cause of death among women ages 45 to 64 in the United States and Canada. It includes many conditions, such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, hypertension, stroke and valvular heart disease. More women than men die from heart disease. This may be because it is detected at later stages in women than in men as women's symptoms can be different than men's.
Menopause and CVD risk
After menopause, however, a woman's risk increases, leading some to suggest that estrogen provides cardioprotective benefits. The extent to which lowered estrogen levels may lead to an increase in CVD risk is not clear, but research continues, including investigations into whether hot flashes are related to a woman's CVD risk.
Risk factors
Major risk factors associated with CVD in women include:
- Age 55 or older
- Cigarette smoking
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- African-American heritage
- High cholesterol
- Poor diet, obesity, metabolic syndrome
- Family history of CVD
- Stress
- Premature menopause, especially if reached before age 35
Your clinician may use the Framingham Risk Score to estimate your 10-year risk for developing CVD events. Points are assigned to various levels of risk, which are then translated into the 10-year estimated risk for CVD events. Risk factors included are age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, ongoing treatment for hypertension and cigarette smoking.
Maintaining heart health
Women with risk factors for CVD should initiate lifestyle changes to decrease their overall risk:
Don't smoke. Smokers are considerably more likely to have a heart attack than nonsmokers. But there's good news. When a woman stops smoking, no matter how long or how much she smoked, her risk of heart disease drops rapidly. There are many other good reasons not to smoke. These include increased vitality, improved appearance, and decreased risk of osteoporosis and cancer of the cervix, lungs, mouth and throat. There are numerous programs and aids available to help women quit smoking. A good place to start is smokefree.gov/.
Control blood pressure. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is defined as an arm cuff reading greater than 140/90 mm Hg. It is preferable to keep blood pressure below 120/80.Even mild elevations can double the risk of stroke or heart attack. High blood pressure becomes more common as women age. In fact, more than 50 percent of all women over age 55 are affected. Black women are especially susceptible. Regular blood pressure testing is important because high blood pressure rarely causes symptoms. High blood pressure can be controlled by eating a healthy diet, limiting salt and alcohol, exercising on a regular basis and reducing stress.
Control cholesterol. Bringing cholesterol levels to within normal limits has a significant impact on heart disease risk. Total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL. Other goals include maintaining high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, the "good cholesterol") and low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, the "bad cholesterol"). Target levels for HDL are at least 50 mg/dL; for LDL, optimal levels are less than 100 mg/dL, even lower for women with heart disease risks. To lower your cholesterol, be sure to maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and make HDL fats and fiber part of your diet.

Bruce Lee's JKD Symbol Medallion:
My father created a symbol to represent his art and his life. He used this symbol on his schools, his stationery, his business cards, and he created a medallion of this symbol which he wore on a long chain around his neck. This symbol, which bears his philosophical quote, "Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation", had deep meaning for him and represented an approach to life that was free and limitless in its possibilities if one could flow with change and turn obstacles into stepping stones! I hope this homage to my father's style and beliefs resonates with you and brings meaning to your life! I hope you will watch the VLOG we prepared on the meaning behind the necklace (below). xShannon

Relay Sweep, Individual Wins Extend Men's Swim/Dive Lead At Brown Invite
Wins by senior Stevie Vines and freshman En-Wei Hu-Van Wright, as well as another relay sweep, has helped the four-time reigning Ivy League champion Princeton men's swimming and diving team to a substantial lead after two days of the Brown Invitational.
Princeton will enter Sunday's final day of competition with 704 points, while second-place Dartmouth has 548 points. Army is pushing Dartmouth with 533.5 points, while Brown (345.5) and Columbia (339.5) are vying for fourth.
Princeton took two of the top three spots in the 400 medley relay, including a victory by the quartet of Kaspar Raigla, Jack Pohlmann, Brooks Powell and Harrison Wagner (1:28.80). The Tiger 'B' squad of Michael Strand, Teo D'Alessandro, Marco Bove and Jeremy Wong added a third-place finish in 1:28.80.
Both Oliver Bennett and Daniel Hasler posted top-four times in the 400 IM to open the individual events Saturday evening. Bennett took third in 4:00.51, while Hasler finished fourth in 4:00.66. Caleb Tuten also reached the 'A' final, and he took eighth in 4:03.43.
Princeton placed two 'A' finalists in the 100 fly, and Raigla led the Tiger duo with a seventh-place finish in 50.16. Bove went 50.48 to take eighth, while Brooks Powell hit a lifetime best 48.97 to win the 'B' final.
Wong, part of the fifth-ranked Princeton freshman class this season, had an exciting showdown with Brown's Tommy Glenn in the 200 free final. The host pulled off the win in 1:37.29, but Wong showed he would be a force in the event with a B-cut time of 1:37.93. Teammate Michael Hauss finished third in 1:39.03, while freshman Sandy Bole took sixth in 1:40.06.
Princeton had three in the 100 breast final, and freshman Byron Sanborn led the trio with a second-place finish in 56.19. Pohlmann placed fifth in 56.96, while Hasler ended up eighth in 57.93.
Hu-Van Wright picked up Princeton's only individual swimming victory of the evening by taking the 100 back in 48.20, a time that currently stands as the fastest in the league this season. Raigla followed with a third-place finish in 50.29, while Andrew Helber placed sixth in 51.10.
On the diving side, senior Stevie Vines won the 3-meter competition with 384.15 points. His total was more than 25 points higher than anybody in the field, and nearly 60 points higher than his closest Ivy League rival.
The Tigers remained the class of the relay field by going 1-2 in the 800 free relay to end Saturday's competition. The quartet of D'Alessandro, Hauss, Bove and Wong won the event in 6:35.58, while the foursome of Hu-Van Wright, Lawley, Jager and Bole took second in 6:41.95.
Princeton will conclude the Brown Invitational Sunday, with preliminaries starting at 10 am and finals starting at 5 pm.

The scenario involving Linda is one that could conceivably occur at the university. Although Linda's administrative systems access enables her to look up salary data to do her job, she was doing it for the wrong purpose.
Like Linda, every administrative data user plays a key role in ensuring that the university meets its data access and compliance obligations. U-M administrative systems provide you with exceptional capabilities to manage and access university data. Data can be made available to a large number of users who "need to know" specific data to do their jobs. This data is a valuable institutional resource and contains both personal and confidential information about individuals associated with the university. There is potential for great efficiency when the system is used appropriately. When used inappropriately, great harm can result which can have negative consequences for:

The NPS IACUC is an officially registered IACUC with the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Animal Care unit (USDA APHIS AC).
This website is intended to serve as a general tool to help you achieve your animal welfare goals, and to address questions regarding the NPS IACUC and how you can use it.
** If your project has already received review and approval by an IACUC other than the NPS IACUC, you need only to attach 2 documents to an email and send them to email@example.com. The two documents are: 1.) A copy of your approving IACUC's official approval notice, and 2.) A copy of your complete Study Plan; i.e. what your approving IACUC approved. You need not complete any of the NPS IACUC submission or amendment forms.
Go to the Project Review page for all NPS IACUC forms (General Submission, Annual Renewal, and Exhibitor Submission Forms).
For more detailed inquiries or concerns, please contact the NPS IACUC directly:
