Preserves the perfect fit thanks to Advanced Moisture Sensing and quad baffles on select models. Three built-in sensors read incoming air temperature and outgoing air temperature while monitoring moisture levels inside the dryer. This helps the drying cycle end when everything is perfectly dry, saving time and energy and helping to prevent overdrying.
Larger items billow out for better drying, while smaller items keep tumbling without getting stuck riding the baffles. The unique design of the four shorter, staggered baffles increases the effectiveness of the dryer and promotes better, more balanced tumbling.
Tumbles 2-5 items in the dryer, letting steam technology relax wrinkles and remove odors. In just 15 minutes, clothes go from lying there to ready-to-wear.

Art Heals
Honorary chairs Meredith and Jack Woodworth were among the hosts to greet guests to Fashion Industry Gallery for the seventh annual Art for Advocacy auction, which funnels donations toward the funding of art therapy programs for abused children.
A drove of 600 guests encircled a silent auction table, where original pieces from more than 100 emerging and established artists were up for grabs. In between placing bids, The Danielle Georgiou Dance Group surprised with an impromptu performance, while Food Glorious Food Catering satiated palates with hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails. Giving the party its groove were tunes from DJ Lucy Wrubel.
Featuring work from artists like Paul Abbott, Sofia Arnold and Chad Attie, the silent art auction broke fundraising records, generating $350,000 for the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center to continue helping young abuse victims through art therapy. Add this total to the already $2 million raised for the org during the auction's seven-year history. –Photography by Kristina Bowman

Athletes aren't jumping in line to buy sports franchises, but apparently rappers are. Will Smith, the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith are a part of the investment group that recently purchased the Philadelphia 76ers.
The sale was approved Tuesday, October 18th and the NBA Board of Governors voted to approve the sale from Comcast-Spectacor to multibillionaire Joshua Harris and his group according to Comcast Sports.
"My partners and I are thrilled to have become owners of the Sixers," Harris said in a statement released by the team Tuesday morning. "It is an honor to become part of this storied franchise. We have a lot of work to do, but we have a rich history, a strong foundation and a bright future."
Rapper Jay-Z is a part owner of the New Jersey Nets and R&B singer Usher is part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Miami Dolphins also have part-time celebrity ownership with singers Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie.
NBA lockout negotiations among NBA owners and players would certainly be more entertaining if Will Smith was in the room.

Loved building this Robotic Arm

Comments about Robotic Arm Engineering Kit:
Love it. Looking for more items from this company as it had clear instructions and thought my son and I. Needs better differentiation between the screws as they are almost identical. Separate packaging for each screw size would help a lot.I bought 3 more to give as gifts to my son's friends.

Very Nice, great quality product.
By Orod
from Westborough, MA
Bought this for my 12 year old son. He enjoyed putting it together. Took him a total of about four or five hours in two days. He is very happy with it and plays regularly. The controls are too stiff but that's not a issue. It seems to be very well made, good quality material, good design, sturdy product. Had an issue with one screw that he stripped when putting the thing together. So must be a little careful with that.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A project that delivers its promise
By Tammy colorado
from Colorado
My six year old picked this out. He loves taking electronics apart and putting hem back together. This was a fantastic toy to build with him. It taught him assembly and engineering concepts. Once assembled the robotic arm is sturdier than I had originally thought. He loves remote control items and is gentle with his toys. It says or 13+ on the box. He put it all together himself with my constant supervision....it took him about 4 hours. It would take an adult around 1 hour to build. One con is that the screw pieces could have been labeled in a better way. This set came with numerous screw types that were very similar in look but 1/16 of a mm different in use making it difficult to tell them apart.

The JT "saga"
If you've kept up with my site you know that I became a hater as soon as he signed with the jets. And he does not deserve to wear a dolphins jersey again. Now. Or ever.
But how low has this organization sunk? They didn't want him and wouldn't return his calls last season. And this season they actually bring him back? Is that to somehow make the fanbase seem all warm and fuzzy? I doubt it's based on talent because he is clearly well past his prime.
And the fans are eating up. So I guess their idea can be considered a success?
We didn't address our needs, but look. JT is back. Yipee.
3 comments
This is officially, in my opinion, the lowest point in Dolphins history. You bring back a guy who left (regardless of the circumstances) and signed with the most hated rival and now returns for exactly what reason? Is he upgrading the defense in any shape or manner? I think not. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I don't think I'll be.
Somebody, anybody, tell me why this is a good signing? Heck, tell me why in the world did they do it? I think the first doubt in the GM is now seeping into my mind...
This is a good thing.
First of all, the key to why JT is back this year is that Parcells is not here. Parcells didn't want JT. JT also doesn't like Parcells very much. Who knows if Sparano and Ireland would have brought JT back last year if they hadn't still been underneath Parcells.
Secondly, I do not consider JT a traitor. The Dolphins refused to sign him last year. He would have been a traitor if he declined the Dolphins' offer in favor of the Jets'. But the Dolphins would not have him. At that point, having no other options, he entertained other offers. The Jets were the only ones to immediately step up with one.
JT's choice in 2010 was not a choice between offers from the Dolphins, from the Jets, and from a third team. In fact, his choices were only to play for the Jets, or wait for another offer that may or may not be coming at all. I hate the fact he played for the Jets, but I don't consider him a traitor.
Thirdly, no this is not an impact signing like Kyle Orton would be. But it IS an upgrade. He is being signed as a backup linebacker. JT is certainly better than any backup linebacker we currently have. He's better on the field, and he has the added bonus of helping to teach the young linebackers we have. He's essentially replacing Quentin Moses. JT is an upgrade over Quentin Moses.

Gross domestic product
GDP or Gross Domestic Product is the total value of all finished goods and services produced within the U.S on annual basis. Also includes foreign-made goods and services.
Expanded Definition
There are two ways to calculate GDP: the output approach and the income approach. The output, or expenditures, approach consists of adding together personal consumption expenditures, investment expenditures by businesses, government purchases of goods and services, and expenditures by foreigners. The income approach adds together wages, rents, interest, profits, and statistical adjustments.
So, putting the output approach in to a mathematical equation looks likes this:
- GDP = C + I + G + X, where C is personal consumption, I is business investment, G is government investment, and X is net exports.
The income approach would like this:
- GDP = employee compensation + rents + interest + corporate profits + dividends + retained corporate earnings.

Higher education plays a pivotal role in the economic and social development of the country. Almost a quarter of a century before the state came into being, the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa was opened (1924) to train engineers and architects and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was founded (1925) as a center of higher learning for youth in the Land of Israel and to attract Jewish students and scholars from abroad. When Israel attained independence (1948), enrollment at the two universities totaled about 1,600. In 2009-2010 some 280,000 students attended the country's institutions of higher learning. Of these, 38 percent attend universities and 41 percent are enrolled in colleges, while 21 percent participate in courses through the Open University.
Accorded full academic and administrative freedom, Israel's institutions of higher education are open to all those who meet their academic standards. New immigrants and students lacking the necessary qualifications may attend a special preparatory program, which upon successful completion enables them to apply for admission.
Institutions of higher education operate under the authority of the Council for Higher Education, which is headed by the minister of education, and includes academics, community representatives, and a student representative. It grants accreditation, authorizes the awarding of academic degrees, and advises the government on the development and financing of higher education and scientific research.
The Planning and Grants Committee, composed of four senior academics from different fields and two public figures from the business or industrial sectors, is the intermediary body between the government and the institutions of higher education regarding financial matters, submitting budget proposals to both bodies and allocating the approved budget. Public funds provide 70 percent of the budget for higher education, 20 percent derives from tuition, and the rest from various private sources. The committee also promotes cooperation among the various institutions.
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (est. 1924, Haifa) has graduated a high proportion of the country's engineers, architects, and town planners. In recent decades, faculties for medicine and the life sciences were added. The Technion serves as a center of basic and applied research in the sciences and engineering to advance the country's industrial development.
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (est. 1925) comprises faculties which cover nearly all areas of scholarship, from art history to zoology, and houses Israel's National Library. Since its inception, Hebrew University scientists have been actively involved in every phase of Israel's national development, and its Jewish studies departments rank among the most comprehensive in the world.
Weizmann Institute of Science (est. 1934, Rehovot), originally founded as the Sieff Institute, was expanded in 1949 and named after Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Israel's first president and a renowned chemist. Today, it is a recognized post-graduate center of research in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the life sciences. Its researchers are engaged in projects designed to accelerate the development of industry and the establishment of new science-based enterprises. The institute includes a department for science teaching, which prepares curricula for use in high schools.
Bar Ilan University (est. 1955, Ramat Gan) embodies a unique integrative approach which combines enrichment programs in Jewish heritage with a liberal education in a wide range of disciplines, particularly in the social sciences. Blending tradition with modern technologies, it houses research institutes in physics, medicinal chemistry, mathematics, economics, strategic studies, developmental psychology, musicology, Bible, Talmud, Jewish law, and more.
Tel Aviv University (est. 1956) was founded by incorporating three existing institutions to meet the need for a university in the Tel Aviv area, the country's most populous region. Today it is Israel's largest university, offering a wide spectrum of disciplines and placing considerable emphasis on both basic and applied research. The university houses specialized institutes which focus on strategic studies, health systems management, technological forecasting and energy studies.
The University of Haifa (est. 1963), which serves as a center of higher education in the northern part of the country, offers opportunities for interdisciplinary studies; its interdepartmental centers, institutes, and overall architectural plan are structured to facilitate this approach. The university includes a unit for the study of the kibbutz as a social and economic entity, as well as a center dedicated to the advancement of understanding and cooperation between Jews and Arabs in Israel.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (est. 1967, Be'er Sheva) was established to serve the residents of southern Israel and to encourage the social and scientific development of the country's desert region. It has made major contributions in arid zone research, and its medical school has pioneered community-oriented medicine in the country. The university's campus at Kibbutz Sde Boker houses a research center for the study of the historical and political aspects of the life and times of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister.
The Open University (est. 1974), patterned on the British model, offers distinctive, non-traditional higher education opportunities toward a bachelor's degree by utilizing flexible methods based primarily on self-study textbooks and guides, supplemented by structured assignments and periodic tutorials, with final examinations.
Some specialized institutes provide various disciplines in art, music, dance, fashion, nursing, rehabilitation therapies, teaching, and sports. Several private degreegranting colleges offer subjects in great demand such as business administration, law, computers, economics, and related topics. At some, additional tracks are available, leading to certificates or vocational diplomas in a variety of subjects ranging from technology and agriculture to marketing and hotel trades.

A military judge has sentenced Senior Airman Christopher Perez to three years confinement – along with calling for his dishonorable discharge from the Air Force – for his role in the death of 22-month-old Tamryn Klapheke.
On Friday, Perez was found guilty of three specifications of child endangerment and one specification of adultery. He was found not guilty of dereliction of duty.
Tiffany Klapheke, Tamryn's mother, remains in Taylor County Jail on child neglect charges. She allegedly had a relationship with Perez while her three daughters were reportedly being neglected.
The previous story:
The fate of a Dyess Air Force airman is now in the hands of a military judge.
The prosecution and the defense have rested in the case of Senior Airman Christopher Perez, who is facing court-martial proceedings as a result of a relationship he had with the mother of a 22-month-old child who died after allegedly being neglected.
Perez is charged with dereliction of duty, child endangerment and adultery under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in connection to Tamryn Klapheke's death. The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy testified Thursday the manner of death was ruled as homicide by malnutrition and dehydration.
Tiffany Klapheke, the child's mother, remains jailed in Taylor County and is facing child neglect charges.
"If he (Perez) had checked on them on Sunday, or even that Friday, he wouldn't have seen the same children he saw when he moved in," said Capt. Gammons, prosecutor in the case.
Gammons also described Perez as "self-absorbed " and "narcissistic." On the stand, Gammons said Perez called himself "the unluckiest man alive" after Tamryn's death, while he was being interviewed by Abilene police.
Meanwhile, Perez's defense noted that because a separate sexual assault case was being investigated prior to Tamryn Klapheke's death, it wouldn't have been wise for Perez to go into Tamryn's room when her mother said "no."
The previous story:
The father of deceased toddler Tamryn Klapheke was called to testify in military court Thursday during general court-martial proceedings for the Dyess Air Force Base airman who prosecutors identified as the mother's live-in boyfriend.
Senior Airman Christopher Perez is charged with dereliction of duty, child endangerment and adultery under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in connection to the toddler's death. The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy testified Thursday the manner of death was ruled as homicide by malnutrition and dehydration.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys have spent three days debating Perez's role in the Klapheke home (i.e. whether he truly was a live-in boyfriend to the toddler's mother, Tiffany Klapheke, and whether he ever assumed any childcare duties).
Thomas Klapheke was deployed overseas when Tamryn died. He testified Thursday he knew Perez was living with Klapheke during that time; however, he said he had no knowledge of the alleged affair until he heard about it through the media.
Edward Wilcock – a social worker with the Dyess Family Advocacy Center – testified the Klapheke's had been investigated for medical neglect as far back as 2010. That was before Perez was allegedly living in the home and Wilcock said the Klapheke's kept missing their daughters' doctor's appointments.
"I was always actively involved in their care," Thomas said on the stand. He did acknowledge, however, that he had to be notified of the missed appointments.
Dyess Sgt. Matthew Jones – who was the first person inside the Klapheke home after Tiffany called 9-1-1 Aug. 28, 2012 to report Tamryn was unresponsive – testified the home smelled terrible.
"I threw my uniform away after washing it three times," Jones said.
He described the smell as "overpowering" and subsequent witnesses claimed the house had an ammonia-type odor. He said when he entered the home, Tiffany was in hysterics on the kitchen floor holding Tamryn and screaming "bring her back" and "save my baby."
Abilene Police Officer Randy Farmer testified most of the Klapheke home seemed to be in order until reaching the room Tamryn shared with her older sister, Taberlee. He said that room was worse than a lot of other homes he's seen. Photographs showed soiled carpet and mattresses. He said some of Perez's personal items (i.e. military dog tags) were also located in the master bedroom.
Officer David Walker – a civilian police officer serving at Dyess – testified Perez approached him at the scene of the Klapheke home on Aug. 28, 2012 and asked what was going on because a friend of his lived at the home. Walker said he asked Perez to return to his squadron, but the request was not considered an order. The base was later put on lockdown to locate Perez.
Abilene Police Det. Eric Vickers will likely be summoned back to testify Friday. In cross-examination, the defense realized his testimony would be more useful if he reviews the six-hour interview he did with Tiffany after she was arrested. He did testify to prosecutors that Tiffany was acting erratically at the scene and he immediately thought she had something to do with Tamryn's death.
Special Agent Ray Soto of Dyess testified he could smell the ammonia-type odor even a few feet away from the Klapheke home when he arrived at the scene and the home was in "complete disarray." He said the three Klapheke children had matted hair.

Born on December 30, 1946, Patti Smith grew to become a bohemian New York poet and punk rock artiste whose 1975 debut album, Horses, stood in daring, unapologetic contrast to the slick, arena-rock ready production and pretension of the era. Smith's street poetry and her group's garage-band aesthetic formed the foundation on which the later punk rock explosion was predicated. Smith was raised in southern New Jersey, employed in a factory and studied to be a teacher before making the paradigm shift to the art of writing and rock and roll.
When she arrived in New York in 1967, she connected with fellow art-boho misfits, including photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, playwright Sam Sheppard and music scribe Lenny Kaye. She and Kaye brought music and poetry together, giving Smith's poignant perspective a soundscape to build upon. It was the seed for the Patti Smith Group, which formalized their union of poetry and rock with a nearly two-month house gig at CBGB in early 1974. Early on, Smith turned to American record producer and music industry executive Clive Davis.
"When I came to Clive, I was really awkward, arrogant, couldn't really sing. I had pretty clumsy movements," said Smith at the 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions. "I had a lot of guts, not a whole lot of talent; but he had faith in me, and let me go out of the gate, just a colt, and stayed with me." Horses was released a year later in 1975, recorded with guitarist Lenny Kaye, guitarist/bassist Ivan Kral, keyboardist Richard Soul and drummer Jay Dee Dougherty, and produced by John Cale.
"The opening to 'Gloria' might be one of the greatest moments in American music," said Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack De Le Rocha, who inducted Smith into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. "The shadow line and the space within it speaks to us like a dark gospel, and then you hear that voice, and you think 'nothing can be this haunting and nothing can be this healing at the same time.'
"And then the words: 'Jesus died for someone's sins but not mine' – delivered like someone who'd left the church that was repressive America and burned it to the ground. The body of the song becomes a celebration of the outsider. It possesses a chaos that only Patti can summon, and only she can control. She sings, screams, howls, chants so attuned to the moment that anticipating the next one is an impossibility. The breath between her words is as powerful as the words themselves, and by the end of the song, a couple of things were made apparent: punk seeds had been planted, the culture will be changed forever, and it would be hard for me to ever listen to Van Morrison again." Smith followed Horses with the experimental and extreme Radio Ethiopia, but back, neck and facial injuries sustained from a fall during a 1977 concert in Florida sidelined Smith amid the breakthrough year for punk rock and the do-it-yourself aesthetic she helped promulgate.
Smith came back strong in 1978 with Easter, an album of renewal and resurrection that focused her verbal gifts and raw power into succinct, hard-hitting songs. The first album production for Jimmy Iovine, Easter yielded a Top 20 hit, "Because the Night." The song was cowritten with Bruce Springsteen, who'd been recording in an adjacent studio, and it furthered Smith's unlikely yet well-deserved conquest of the rock mainstream. 1979's Wave was produced by Todd Rundgren and preempted a retirement from public view, as she settled into family life with husband (and former MC5 guitarist) Fred "Sonic" Smith and their two children in Detroit. In 1988, Smith resurfaced with Dream of Life, which included considerable involvement from her guitarist-husband and contained the rousing anthem "People Have the Power." She released the highly personal and elegiac Gone Again, singing eloquently of time, loss and mortality in 1995. Smith continued to record through the late 90s and 2000s, with Peace and Noise (1997), containing incantatory meditations on big themes; Gung Ho (2000) and Trampin' (2004).
"Patti's spirit ultimately proved too restless for radio and far too threatening," said De La Rocha. "She seemed far more interested in creating transcendent, poetic moments than fashionable hits, because she had already carved her legacy into something much deeper. The movement she helped define explained why people like me, who related more to Bad Brains more than we did to the Eagles; why we championed the Clash and hated Ronald Reagan; and why we dropped our textbooks and picked up Sonia Sanchez, Alan Ginsberg and Langston Hughes. Expanding rock's boundaries, Patti Smith, the poet, revealed truth regardless of the political and social consequences."
In 2007, Smith released a cover album entitled Twelve, which featured a rowdy reworking of the Rolling Stones' classic anti-war polemic "Gimme Shelter." In the clip below, Smith performs "Gimme Shelter" during the 2007 Inductions, when she was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Patti Smith is among the featured artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Women Who Rock exhibit on display through February 26.

Tired of mowing, watering and trimming? Maybe it's time to start faking it . . . which could look just as neat.
Artificial lawns are becoming the go-to accessory for many gardening enthusiasts who are ready to ditch the time spent watering and save gas money on mowing. Not only does synthetic grass trim down your water bill and reduce your carbon footprint, it gives your lawn a perpetually pruned feeling. Don't wait until autumn hits and the world looks as if it's behind dull-colored glasses to consider giving your yard this year-round treat. Of course, there are some downsides.
- Stunning, ever-green "grass"
- Decreases water consumption (millions of gallons of water are drained into lawns every year)
- Cleaner Air (running a lawn mower for an hour contributes 11 times the pollution of a car does)
- No need to mow, water, reseed, weed or fertilize—ever again.
- Countless options: think putting-green, summertime, early spring or anywhere in between.
- Expense. The price tag for synthetic grass can get pricey, but considering you'll never have to dish out dimes to maintain home-grown grass, fake lawns might just be the cheaper option.
- Backlash. Believe it or not, neighbors, friends and family might not be onboard with you're synthetic change.
- The "plastic rustle." Some fake lawns make a plastic-like sound unless watered down, defeating the purpose of water preservation.
UPKEEP: While you wont need to mow it, here is a list of tools you will need to keep your synthetic lawn looking good.
- Leaf Blower—best way to remove leaves.
- Vacuum Cleaner—It is similar to an indoor carpet, you will need to vacuum to get rid of dirt, soil, and small dangerous objects.
- Rake—Best to removes branches and larger objects.
- Stiff Bristle Push Broom—Helps fluff up the grass, especially in high traffic areas.
- Garden Hose—You wont need to water your lawn, but you will still need to hose off soil, mud, food and drink spills, and pet droppings.
- Weed Killers—You will still need this for the edges.
- Turf Sanitizers, which can be purchased in local garden supply shops and are ideal to inhibit growth of bacteria and fungi. For more info click here.

ZF-7613: There is not "factory" method in the Zend_Queue class
Manual entry 184.108.40.206. Db - Zend_Queue_Adapter_Db contain incorrect example of usage Zend_Queue. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Method "factory" does not exists in the Zend_Queue class
In line 180, $queue = Zend_Queue::factory('Db', $options);
It may be $queue = new Zend_Queue('Db', $options);
Solved in SVN r17669
Changing 'zend_query' to 'zend_queue' in summary field. I assume that was a typo ;) (if not, why don't /I/ have a zend_query?)

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maley Understated and stunning! I purchased this for myself on a whim because I love rose gold and it's one of the few bracelets I've found that fits my wrist! I actually have to pull both sides completely to the end and it fits! It's sturdy and can be dressed up or down and I got compliments all day.. best impulse purchase ever! March 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jailyn Really cute and simple I bought 2 of these bracelets, one for my niece and one for me. They are so cute and are lightweight. I didn't know it was called "Rose Gold" at the store, since it looks more like copper. But in all, it is still adorable and we really like it. December 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Madgehands For the love of infinity I recieved this bracelet as a gift from a friend. She purchased it for me with a message because she loves me to infinity. I love it so much, I'm getting her one. I have worn it for a week and have not taken it off. There has be no fading or wear on the bracelet yet. I LOVE IT! February 15, 2013

pf changs in glen mills has the most friendliest people working there and courteous also. Taylor are waiter was so very pleasant keeping our needs important to him I would recommend Glenn mills of changs over any of the other ones
Updated my review because while I had previously given it five stars the last two visits were horrible and I won't be back. On a dinner visit with a friend who has a gluten sensitivity (and I am diagnosed celiac) we both did not feel well afterward. I saw this coming as the waitress didn't seem very attentive to our sensitivity/allergy needs And on a recent lunch visit the waitress actually rolled her eyes when I said I had a gluten allergy. That was the nail in the coffin for a restaurant that one of my go-to's.
Great GF menu......I have eaten here a dozen times and have never been sick. Update: I informed the server of my celiac condition and the manager came over; he walked me through all their precautions and made us feel comfortable. Well, 10 min out the door I was a wreck! Stopped 3 times on the way home and have been in bed all afternoon.....ugh! Beware of those in the kitchen! Company policy is one thing.....execution is something different.
informed server of dietary restrictions, ordered off the GF menu, enjoyed my meal and didn't get CCed!! definitely will go back.
Really enjoyed my gf meal. Had the spicy chicken and chocolate dome dessert. Good gf variety. Will definitely be going back.
Great GF. Wait staff knowledgable never gotten suck!!!
One of my favorites! The chicken lettuce wraps are the best and the flourless chocolate dome dessert...yummy!!! The staff is knowledgable and friendly. I can even enjoy a GF beer here if I want to. Makes me happy! :)
17455 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami Beach, FL 33160
Love the food. Lettuce wraps and pork fried rice are my favorites! Wish they had entire menu gluten free!
7894 N Blackstone Ave., Fresno, CA 93720
We either eat here or get takeout several times a month. It's the safest restaurant we've found for my celiac disease in the area. The staff has always been super courteous and even anxious to make sure there's zero cross contamination for me. The food is always great too!
2420 West Happy Valley Road, Phoenix, AZ 85085
Still the best and safest gf restaurant around
2626 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd., Dayton, OH 45459
It's my birthday. My husband wanted to take me out. We researched and he called the manager before making reservations...and we went to PF Changs. I ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce....the waitress is super attentive and sweet. I'm approximately three bites away from finishing my plate when the head chef and the waitress come out and tell me the new cook used the water to wash the regular noodles in the sauce to make my dish. Our entire meal was free, they profusely apologized, the waitress cried, the manager gave me a free gluten free dessert to take home, and gave me her card to tell me they were reporting the incident and to call if I got sick. 30 minutes later and I'm incapacitated with stomach cramps and anxiety. I look like I'm 9 months pregnant even though I'm a size 6. I am I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN. I took my glutenade before eating and my digestive enzymes immediately afterwards to no avail. I did everything I was supposed to do and someone's carelessness is destroying my health. THEY NEED TO LEARN THIS IS NOT AN ALLERGY!!! This is an autoimmune disease!!
201 San Jacinto Boulevard, Austin, TX 78701
It is consistent and generally safe. Everything you would expect from a chain.
5488 South Padre Island Drive #5001, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
They go out of their way to make sure us gf folks are taken care of. Everything from appetizers to dessert!
3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
This was one of the best places to eat here in Vegas, especially if you have celiacs! They have special plates for the gluten free food and have a separate spot for the kitchen! It was such a great experience because the water was so knowledgable and the food was delicious!
1190 Farrow Parkway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Great food and attentive staff.
6801 Fayetteville Street, Durham, NC 27713
Fantastic menu and great food. Celiac safe!
3405 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, KY 40503
A bit pricey but oh so worth it!!! Delicious!!!
1201 Lake Woodlands Dr #301, The Woodlands, TX 77380
Server and restaurant were excellent with celiac. They use a special wok for all GF meals. They use special plates to indicate the different meals. No problems with getting gluten by mistake. However, a non GF meal was also sereved on a GF plate. Not all restaurant staff is aware.
6000 North Terminal Parkway, Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), College Park, GA 30337
Has several gf entrees. My entree was huge and delicious. It's located inside the airport and was a nice place to rest between flights.
910 Highland Colony Parkway, Ridgeland, MS 39157
Friendly manager. They even use different shaped plates for gluten free orders! the gluten free menu is so good my family usually orders off it and we share family style.
9435 Civic Center Blvd. Streets of Westchester Bldg. 1, West Chester, OH 45069
This PF Chang's is amazing. I eat here often and I love that everyone has knowledge of the gluten free menu. I always know I'm safe when I eat here!
910 Highland Colony Parkway, Ridgeland, MS 39157
Never had a reaction here, great food! Staff brings gf food out on specially marked plate
910 Highland Colony Parkway, Ridgeland, MS 39157
My wife has Celiac and we've eaten here on a regular basis (twice per month, both done-in & take-out) without her getting sick. They have a solid selection of GF menu options, and several are very tasty. Our favorite is the Chang's spicy chicken with GF egg-drop soup. Staff knowledge of GF/Celiac can be spotty, but if you ask the right questions & emphasize the importance, they get it right.
10309 Destiny USA Dr, Syracuse, NY 13204
Never had an issue here and they now have a gf dessert! They have a separate prep area in the kitchen. Nice to be able to eat Chinese food again.
110 South Jordan Creek Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266
Excellent variety of delicious fresh Asian inspired dishes. I love the Mongolian Beef and Shanghai Cucumbers. Gluten Free options are on main menu. Make sure you ASK for the items gluten free as they have the same items on regular entrees.
12090 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23606
Love that I've finally found GF Chinese food!!! In complete heaven!
7135 East Camelback Road #101, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
We just had an excellent meal. I had the spicy chicken and my husband had Mongolian beef. He ordered from the gluten free menu so we could share. The waitress was great and the staff knowledgeable. We'll be back again.
2801 Pacific Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
Traveling for work: food was great! Wait staff was very educated on a gluten-free allergy. They also have a lot of options.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Worldgateway Place, Romulus, MI 48242
Had a great experience here. I'm celiac and did not get sick. A bit pricey, but hey, you're in an airport. Great to have a safe place at Detroit airport.
3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Very very good. I have celiac and no reaction. They have a gluten free section in the menu. Service was slow, but food was really good.
9435 Civic Center Blvd. Streets of Westchester Bldg. 1, West Chester, OH 45069
Love this place! First time having Chinese since diagnosed gluten intolerant. Delicious!
820 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
Not Autoimmune Paleo allergy friendly at all. Their only real solution was a steamed vegetable plate. No meats available a la Carte without allergens already added.
101 South Green Valley Parkway, Henderson, NV 89052
Always a safe and delicious place to eat. Distinct gluten free menu.
1400 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431
For some reason I always have a reaction when I eat here. My reactions range in severity from minor inflammation to painful headache. I can't say for certain whether gluten is the issue, but it seems there are definitely some inflammatory ingredient included in the dishes - perhaps peanut oil or unknown preservatives.
10114 Jollyville Rd., Austin, TX 78759
Good was great and so was the service.
1245 Worcester Street #4008, Natick, MA 01760
I have eaten here numerous times and never got sick although you have to be vigilant. They did once serve me a gluten version of what I ordered but I was aware of the fact the gluten free food is served on different plates. The food is very good, a little on the pricey side for the serving size.
4200 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839
Very good the gf pork fried rice and Mongolian beef are excellent! The gf steak and broccoli lacked in flavor. Service was mediocre and atmosphere was nothing to write home about. Second visit we got the Mongolian beef and pork fried rice to go and the rice had a little less flavor but still yummy! I have celiacs and did not have a reaction on either visit and they even packed gluten free soy sauce with my to go order!
476 Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove, NY 11755
Gluten free menu/options. Very good.
2065 Apple Orchard Avenue, Grand Rapids, MI 49525
Very accomodating, they can print you a menu based on your allergies and make sure to the best of their abilities that you are safe from allergens.
1200 Del Monte Center, Monterey, CA 93940
Love it every time! Very comforting to have your meal served and know they remembered to make it gluten free because of the different plate.
26001 Chagrin Blvd., Beachwood, OH 44122
I got glutened at this P.F. Chang's. I had full blown celiac disease symptoms within 2 hours of eating at the P.F. Chang's in Beachwood, Ohio area on Chagrin Blvd.
326 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90401
Very strict celiac. Get sick very quickly with the smallest contamination. Don't trust the other review, I eat here regularly with zero contamination. They take a lot of precautions. Mention you are celiac and they take care of the rest.
2237 Deming Way, Middleton, WI 53562
Our son has celiac. They were wonderful! The host and server were very reassuring and helpful when they explained the process they use to avoid cross contamination. They have separate areas and utensils/pans for food prep to avoid cross contamination. Our server was very careful when he brought out our food. The restaurant uses special plates for gluten free food. They have gluten free soy sauce available upon request. Our son had no reaction after eating there. We will return with no reservations.
Periferico Sur 4132 Piso 1 Local 14, Álvaro Obregón, Jardines del Pedregal, 01900 Ciudad de México, D.F., Mexico 01900
it looks delicious but i can not eat
10300 Little Patuxent Parkway #3020, Columbia, MD 21044
Always had a good and safe experience here. Had a waitress who was very familiar with celiac and made sure my food was safe. When the wrong lettuce wraps came out she sent them back before even coming to our table. I really appreciated it.
2801 W Big Beaver Rd, Troy, MI 48084
Wonderful gluten free menu but have tried twice and been sick twice. 😞
1 Galleria Drive, Buffalo, NY 14225
I've eaten here 10-12 times the past 10 years. Never had any problem and I'm sensitive celiac. I would know if gluttened within first half hour, usually just a few minutes. The food choices are varied and delicious. My wife who is Not gf prefers the gf lettuce wraps compared to those off the regular menu. I've also ordered take out several times to eat back home in Jamestown NY. It has been tasty and just as safe.
110 South Jordan Creek Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266
awesome food, great staff
6741 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919
Great GF menu and they have GF soy sauce which is a plus
8108 West Gage Boulevard, Kennewick, WA 99336
Our waiter was very helpful and took my concerns seriously. Food was hot and tasted great. I have celiac and am very cautious when I eat out.
820 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
they offer a variety on their gluten free menu. it's quite a drive for us but worth it! GF soy sauce and even gf dessert.
326 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90401
hat einige gluten free speisen. vorspeise war super, hauptgang (nudeln) okay. das essen stand in 10min nach der bestellung auf dem tisch, alles zusammen...leider.
10300 Little Patuxent Parkway #3020, Columbia, MD 21044
I love P.F. Chang's BEFORE I went gluten-free and AFTER I became gluten-free. One of my friends and I went to P.F.Chang's this past weekend and my experience was wonderful. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease over a year ago which has made dining out challenging. I was well taken care of by Salam (server), Christine (bartender) and the manager. When I spoke to Salam about my dining needs, she took it seriously and elevated it to the manager. The manager came and spoke with me and was very kind. I was able to order for the gluten-free menu and all the food was great. Additionally, I wanted to engage in the spirits and was able to do so. The bartender, Christine was knowledgeable about what drinks did or did not have gluten. She made two different drinks for me and they were great!!!! I cannot say how happy I was about my dining experience. I did not get sick at all while I was there or 24 hours later. This is why they got 5 stars from me.
3545 U.S. 1, Princeton, NJ 08540
yes they have a gf section on their menu so 2 stars for that but out of 5 times eating there and ordering the same gf Cantonese Lemon Chicken I think 1 time it didn't feel like I was ripping apart dried out and hard crusted pieces of chicken. I had to leave half the crust on the plate because I couldn't chew it. The lettuce wraps are generally good though I didn't order that tonight. I sent food back for being so died out in the past but we have so little choice in the area for gf Chinese food ave I was starving. I hoped for the best and was so disappointed again.
14135 South La Grange Road, Orland Park, IL 60462
Great food and desserts! So I have changed my rating from a 5 to a 1. Order came out wrong. No manager ever came over. I'm so done with eating out!!
1978 East 21st Street, Tulsa, OK 74114
We were so happy to find another restaurant that serves great gf food. We've eaten here 2 times with no issues after. Staff is very helpful with special diet needs.
5488 South Padre Island Drive #5001, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
I used to eat here a lot with no problems, they're supposed to have a dedicated kitchen space and be celiac friendly. Recently I ate here and had the WORST reaction I've had in.. Forever, after eating the fried rice. My food came out a little too quickly (usually gfree stuff takes longer in order to prepare it safely) with my non-gfree friends order. My reaction was so bad that it started a few hours after I left. I was extremely disappointed, so I don't think I'll be returning at least for a long time. I made sure to email them and let them know, hopefully they fix things! Just be aware and emphasize you need a safe meal! This place does have a lot of great options, maybe I just had one bad experience.

Volleyball Travels To Boston, Looks To Ignite Quick EIVA Start At Harvard
PRINCETON: Stats l Roster l Twitter
HARVARD: Stats l Roster l Twitter
SACRED HEART: Stats l Roster l Twitter
THURSDAY LINKS: Harvard Live Video l Harvard Live Stats
FRIDAY LINKS: Sacred Heart Live Video l Sacred Heart Live Stats
The Princeton men's volleyball team has shown flashes of brilliance on the court this season, but it has yet to put enough together to earn its first victory of the season. There would be no better time to get that first victory than in Thursday night's EIVA opener, when the Tigers face reigning league finalist Harvard.
Princeton (0-4, 0-0 EIVA) will begin its 12-match trek through EIVA play at 7 pm Thursday against Harvard (2-3, 1-0 EIVA) in a match that will be streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network. The Tigers will continue the road trip Friday night at Sacred Heart (4-5, 1-1 EIVA), and that game will be streamed live by Sacred Heart; both the Harvard and Sacred Heart matches will also have live stats available. All links can be found above.
The Tigers are coming off back-to-back near misses against teams either in our just outside the AVCA Top 15. On Friday, the Tigers held a 10-8 lead in the fifth set against IPFW, which joined Harvard among teams reveiving votes in the latest poll; the Mastadons rallied for a 15-13 win. The next night, nationally ranked Ball State overcame a 2-0 deficit by winning a tight fourth and carrying that momentum into the fifth in a 3-2 win.
Princeton has again been led by senior Pat Schwagler, a reigning first-team All-EIVA honoree. Schwagler is averaging 3.2 kills per set, and he shares the team lead with 1.1 blocks. Fellow outside Devin Stearns has also looked good in his sophomore season, recording 2.9 kills and leading all non-middles with a .316 attack percentage.
Thursday will also serve as the EIVA debut for freshman starters Chris Kennedy and Junior Oboh. Kennedy is averaging 9.4 assists per set, while Oboh shares the team lead in blocks and his hitting over .280 with 1.4 kills per set.
Princeton will need to be at its best against Harvard, which knocked off George Mason in the 2013 postseason to reach its first EIVA championship match. The Crimson are 2-3 this season, but all three losses came against nationally ranked programs. They are led by brothers D.J. and Casey White, both of whom combine for 4.8 kills per set.
Princeton and Harvard split the season series last year, with both teams winning at home. Cody Kessel, another first-team All-EIVA selection, had 14 kills and 12 digs in the 3-2 loss at Harvard last year.
Princeton will travel to Sacred Heart Friday night for a showdown with the Pioneers. They are led by Brad Borsay, who ranks in the EIVA top five with 3.17 kills per set. The Tigers swept Sacred Heart last season.

Obama Waives Ban on Arming Terrorists
President Barack Obama has waived part of a federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups so he could arm Syrian rebels.
But keeping military assistance within "vetted" opposition groups could be tricky since significant elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups including al-Qaida, The Washington Examiner reports.
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced Monday that he would waive two sections of the law that prohibit sending weaponry to countries, including Syria, that support international terrorism. The law is intended to prevent U.S. weapons from falling into the hands of countries or groups that aid or abet international terror or the proliferation of nuclear weapons and material.
The president can waive prohibitions in the law if he "determines that the transaction is essential to the national security interests of the United States."
Under the law, the White House must also provide Congress, at least 15 days before turning over the weapons, with details including the name of any country involved, the identity of the recipients, the purpose of the weapons, an inventory of the arms being delivered, and an statement that the transfer is key to American security interests.
The administration has bipartisan support in its efforts to provide military assistance to the Syrian opposition. Both GOP Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Democrat Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan have endorsed Obama's plans.
"Our intelligence agencies, have a very good handle on who to support and who not to support," Corker said. "And there's going to be mistakes. We understand some people are going to get arms that should not be getting arms. But we still should be doing everything we can to support the free Syrian opposition."
Obama's decision came on the same day that details of a report from defense analysts IHS Jane's were released saying nearly half those fighting against President Bashar Assad's Damascus regime are hardline Islamists.

Ignore the lame chick-lit title and the misleading twee trailer….and rest assured that no one in this movie is actually called Hope. Rather, Great Hope Springs is the town in Maine where Nebraska housewife Kay (Meryl Streep) drags Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones), her husband of 31 years for a week of intensive couples counseling. Their therapist is Dr. Feld (Steve Carell) a best-selling author and seasoned marriage guidance pro.
What transpires in this funny, sweet romance is beyond what any simple plot description can offer. Hope Springs is about the small moments in a marriage, the acknowledgement of the painful truths that exist in every long-standing relationship, about the distances that grow and calcify between partners and about the bridges that can be painstakingly rebuilt if the spirit is willing.
TV writer Vanessa Taylor (Game of Thrones) has delivered a clever, astute script that will have more than a few audience members shuddering in recognition at Kay and Arnold's cold war of marital discontent. Mind you, it's probably true to say that Arnold isn't discontented…he's too disconnected from his feelings to question his own happiness. He depends on Kay in much the same way we rely on our toes to walk: we don't think about them much but would sure miss them if they were gone. And Kay obliges by being the perfect wife until one day she isn't. Over time her routine has become a rut and she decides she wants "a real marriage". It's hard to argue with her after witnessing what the marriage has become….separate bedrooms, silent meals and refrigerators as anniversary presents.
If this sounds like the set-up for many a trite sitcom, then we can thank the nuanced script for raising the material above the bland and humdrum. Kay and Arnold's problems may be of the everyday variety but Taylor's screenplay certainly isn't. And let's not forget Streep and Jones….two of the best "senior" actors out there who bring authenticity, humor and pathos to their roles without stooping to condescension. Streep's Kay is quiet and steadfast but she's no pushover. The silences, the looks, the raised eyebrows, the blushes….the comic timing is vintage Streep yet the character is distinct and alive.
Jones is known in Hollywood as a man of few words and little tolerance for frippery. He inhabits the role of Arnold, a man more at home with the golf channel than his wife, with frightening ease. But watching Arnold come alive through the course of the film is a case of acting genius….so subtle that it's easy to overlook the work that Jones puts in. And how great to see Jones finally play a romantic lead! When he smiles, which he rarely seems to do in his films, it's like the clock has been turned back and we see the handsome young man he used to be and we understand why Kay wants him still. The scenes of therapy with Steve Carell are astounding in their sincerity and truth and Carell masterfully makes us forget every dopey twit he's ever played.
Watching other people squirm as they attempt to access long-buried feelings and as they fumble towards some kind of entente gives us a certain sense of schadenfreude, even if we recognize ourselves in their efforts. Anyone who's ever weathered the ups and downs of a relationship will laugh at Kay and Arnold's predicament even as they mentally jot down notes for future reference. Hope Springs is warm and loving and funny as hell.

Heavyweights End 2012-13 Season With Sixth-Place Finish At IRA Nationals
Princeton came into the weekend as the seventh seed at the IRA national championships, held on Lake Natoma in Sacramento, but it knocked off Stanford in a furious final sprint Saturday to reach the national final. It was unable to move up any further from that sixth spot, which is where it finished in the final race of the 2012-13 season.
"This was a quick field, and we just weren't able to get into that field racing for the medals," Hughes said. "A lot of this is all about experience for us. We learned some things here. The margin of error at this top level is so small, so I hope we don't forget this and we can grow from it."
Washington repeated as national champion in style, leading at every split and topping Harvard by more than three seconds to win in 5:39.10. The Crimson needed to dig in to hold off Brown, which is did by about half a second; Brown had the slowest opening split, but it followed with the fastest final one.
Princeton held fifth after 500 meters, but it fell back to sixth once Brown began its rally. The Tigers were within two seconds of the Top 3 midway through the race, but that deficit grew during the third split, and Princeton finished sixth in 5:49.10.
"It's tough to be right there, knocking on the door and to come up short," Hughes said. "You hope we can grow from this, so the next time we get here, we can execute better."
Reaching the final will provide strong experience for the six returning members of the varsity eight, while seniors Michael Evans, Brian Wettach and coxswain Keanan Clark can graduate with the knowledge that they helped lead Princeton back to the biggest race of the season.
"The senior class was absolutely key in the big changes we made in this program this year," Hughes said. "The impact they had on both the personality and attitude of this team was remarkable. I wish we could have them back next year, and we'll definitely miss them."
The second varsity finished just off the medal stand, as California used a late sprint to catch the Tigers for the third and final place on the dock.
Washington basically took control at the start of the race, grabbing a two-second lead after the first split and never letting any boat cut into that edge. Both Brown and Princeton moved past California by the middle point of that race, and the Tigers started to cut into the Bears' lead with 500 meters remaining.
Unfortunately, California wasn't finished, and the Bears posted the fastest final split in the field to race past Princeton — and almost Brown — to grab third in 5:54.78, while the Tigers took fourth in 5:54.99.
Still, it was a very positive season for Greg Hughes' second varsity boat, which went undefeated during the regular season and won a silver medal at the Eastern Sprints. The boat is comprised of six underclassmen, with only one senior in Eric Schwarzenbach. The 2V had a trio of freshman rowers, including Patrick Eble, who competed with the varsity boat before suffering an injury midway through the season.
The freshman eight, comprised of four novice rowers from both the heavyweight and lightweight programs, took third in its petite final in 6:12.04. The Tigers were third at the opening split and never lost that spot, finishing ahead of George Washington in 6:12.04 to finish ninth in the event.
The varsity four also placed third in its third-level final, finishing in 6:55.32 to hold off Drexel.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pooh Exactly what I had in mind... ...for a bathroom. Didn't want shelves or a cheesy cabinet, sought out options that were a little different. This fits the bill really well. As someone else noted, it does smell nice also. And you need to look at it very closely (closer than anyone ever will) to determine that it's not actually old. And even then you're still not 100% sure. Mine is a bit lighter in color than the images on line led me to believe, but not so much that it's any big deal. Unfortunately, mine was also not put together so well. Two of four hinges were missing screws, and the keyhole hanger thingies on the back both pulled right out of the wood immediately upon my checking to ensure that they were in there decently. Speaking of screws, they were originally attached with TINY ones, makes no sense. Not an actual problem, I just drilled small holes all the way through and attached the keyholes with small brass nuts and bolts that are all but unnoticeable inside anyway (similar color). I would not pass on this because of that, but it was sort of surprising. Just be aware that the item may not be as ready to go as one might expect. This is just how things work nowadays I suppose. Still a great find. February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zuzu Nice Wall Accent Piece Looks great. Displays items in a cute way. It took us a little longer to hang than probably most, but that was our fault in measuring incorrectly. February 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Johanna Love this! The photo doesn't do it justice! Not only is this cabinet adorable and sturdy, it smells good! Love, love, love it! April 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsGee Rustic and practical I bought this for my small wall space in the bathroom and it's a perfect fit. All my daughters' clutter is now tucked behind the doors and the cubbies have room for some more.... This is a great cabinet for the price and a good companion for casual or rustic decor. March 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jennielou Cute take on your average medicine cabinet This medicine cabinet is adorable. I was afraid that it would look "mass-produced" but it does look pretty authentically old. And even though I thought the description said it didn't come with mounting hardware, it came with 2 wall anchors and 2 screws. But I ended up using Hercules Hooks, so install took less than 10 minutes. My only complaint is that it looks like the 3 bottom cubbies are the same depth as the whole unit, but they are actually only about 3.5 inches deep. I had visions of putting little baskets in there, but there's not really room for that. April 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BettyCabby Nice piece I use it as my cabinet of curiosities. it works nicely. And I'm having fun collecting little treasures to add to it. I'm thinking about painting the back of it white and adding some small fleur d lis stenciling but I haven't decided yet. It's so dark, it's hard to see what's in it. Sometimes I burn tea lights in it to illuminate it and make it spooky. That looks pretty cool. March 22, 2015

Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionFor Compilation Document
Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) is a Nepali NGO having special consultative status with Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. Remaining within the center of Credo of the International Rural Reconstruction Movement, RRN has been working with the poor and disadvantaged rural communities for the last two decades, focusing on the four-fold approach of rural reconstruction - education, health, livelihood and self-government.
Expectation for the outcome of Rio +20
? We are fast approaching to the deadline of 2015 for accomplishing the Millennium Development Goals set in 2000. But in most Least Developed (including Nepal) and some developing countries it has been found that most targets will not be achieved within the time-frame if the current pace of implementation continues. Therefore, this conference should give priority and be focused on contributing to the MDG targets by enhancing the linkages of socio-economic, political and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Poverty, hunger, gender inequality, lower degree of women empowerment, insufficient health facilities, inadequate education services, climate change and its disproportionatelyadverse impacts on the poor and vulnerable, and lack of sustainable livelihoods interventions have remained as characteristics of our part of the world. Overcoming these situations is important achieving sustainable developmentto improve the status of people living in these countries.
? Enforceable systems and country based as well as international mechanisms be developed and put into action for achieving sustainable development and minimizing the impacts on environment.
? Full commitment from the parties to Rio+20 for effective implementation of the Rio commitments and declarations.
Comment on existing proposals: e.g. a green economy roadmap, framework for action??
? Green economy will be the one among other issues during conference. We have some reservations supporting this idea, because we are not very much sure whether the focus on the sustainable development will get diluted due to disproportionate emphasis on green economy by ignoring other dimensions of sustainable development. We do have fear of governments that, focus on green economy will minimize the importance and target of sustainable development. Therefore, without dismantling the idea of sustainable development, the concern of green economy can be addressed and incorporated. By considering green economy as one of the overriding objectives of sustainable development and way out for poverty eradication, the social, economic and environmental consideration must remain balanced.
? It is said that green economy is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive; which encourages public and private investments that reduces carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and resource efficiency and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. It is claimed that the Green Economy is the way out of the ongoing economic, climate, energy, water and food crises, by restructuring our economies to encourage and sustain green energy, green growth and green jobs. However, our goal is not only getting the green economy but to a sustainable world for all.
? There are some issues which the concept of green economy may not address adequately. Inequality in incomes, quality of life, and access to resources are some issues which are not the serious concerns under the conceptof green economy. Similarly, it has not defined approach to tackle the pollution from existing industries and environmental degradation.
Views on implementation
3c. Wesuggest to build mechanisms for developing partnership arrangement and other implementation tools under the direct supervision and participatory decision of any specified UN agency. While implementation in countries is concerned, this must adhere to the Accra Agenda for Action and Paris Declaration of the Aid Effectiveness mechanisms. Independent country systems, processes and mechanisms must be respected.
Suggestion on cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools
3d. Collective effort can bring change which will be sustainable in essence. Therefore, we suggest for building mechanisms for implementing tools identified after conference by involving all the actors of the society viz. Civil Society Organizations, Farmers, Indigenous peoples, Community Based Organizations, NGOs, local authorities, Youth, private sector and others in each country.
Suggestions on possible sectoral priorities include
4a. Environmental management, employment generation, natural resources management and agricultural development based on the fundamental principles of human rights, democracy and sustainable development.
Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication
We already discussed that the current concept of green economy does not address the status of inequality in incomes. Similarly access to resources is also one of the concerns in poverty eradication. Therefore, we cannot depend solely on green economy by introducing it as an important means for poverty eradication and sustainable development.
Institutional Framework
4c. Westrongly believe that including civil society/non-government sector in the process of negotiations and discussions as equal members will further make decisions collective and effective.
Possible themes which can be focused during conference
4d. the focus of the conference may include
? Poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development
Special focus should be given for poverty eradication with time bound targets.

Whiny Wednesday
I have now designated Hump Day as the day for grievances to be aired. Everyone is grouchy on Wednesdays anyway.
This week, several people have complained to me about the food and service at Naked Fish, a restaurant I have often touted and which has won our "Best Japanese" dining award twice.
The complaints?
"Service was ridiculously slow. So slow they comped our dessert." Alas, free dessert can't make up for lost time.
"The service was slow and the sushi wasn't very good. My roll just sort of fell apart." This was a first visit to Naked Fish for this diner; chances are slim he'll be back.
As restaurateurs know, disappointed diners seldom give a restaurant a second chance.
But most of the complaining I heard this week was about me, mostly regarding my post "Finca: First Bite."
It sounds like a lot of people thought I was too easy on this new restaurant from the owner of Pago. And others thought I was too hard. A Goldilocks dilemma. My aim is simply to be honest, but it is my opinion, and it may not jibe with yours. I do appreciate everyone reading the blog and even more, I appreciate everyone giving a, um, darn about what they eat.
That said, in explanation and not defense, I would like to make clear where I'm coming from.
First of all: I think food writing is about people because food is about people. How do you separate food from its creator or its consumer? And restaurants are about the community they are in. So there are no absolutes.
Secondly: Restaurant criticism and food writing were once two separate jobs. That is not true now.
It's not true for a number of reasons—including John Mariani and other celebrity "national critics," the Food Network and the rise of the TV food star, the death of newspapers, the preponderance of "citizen journalism," food blogs and the decline of print advertising.
Except for some markets and a few publications, food writers do it all, if they want to make a living.
Anonymity is a luxury food writers and their publications cannot afford. In this market, Ted Scheffler writes everything there is to say about food for City Weekly, covering new restaurants, new products, new people, new events. Last year, to cut costs, the bosses moved him from the status of staff writer to contract writer.
At the Salt Lake Tribune, the two current restaurant reviewers, Stuart Melling and Heather King, are freelance writers who maintain their own blogs, separate from the Tribune's, and their own independent food writing careers. When I reviewed for the Tribune, I was paid $300 per review, out of which I had to pay for my meals. The only anonymous reviewer around, one restaurateurs may not know, is Leslie Neilsen, who makes her living as a Tribune copy editor and reviews sometimes.
That's how it is when you're trying to make a living writing about food, as Amanda Hesser pointed out recently, causing a great kerfuffle.
So, sometimes I'm anonymous when I review a restaurant, and sometimes I'm not. If I'm known, I may get extra attention and I may know more about the restaurateur's plans and dreams for the place (I'd written several pieces about the future Finca, before the place even opened). But chances are, my food won't be better than the food served to another table. As my visit to Finca showed.
And, as I've said before, if a restaurant is open, it's fair game to review. As part consumer advocate, I see no reason why a business should open before it's ready and expect customers to make allowances.
"De gustibus..." and all that keep those virtual cards and letters coming. Like I said, I'm glad you care. Obviously, we do share a desire for more, better restaurants in the city we live in.

Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Inspired 1st Birthday Party (42 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Working on this party was a dream come true for me. I always dreamed of the day when I would be blessed with a little girl so that I could revisit my childhood strawberry shortcake obsession! Since I am a lover of all things vintage and anything sweet, naturally I thought this theme would be perfect for my very own little shortcake, Abigail.
The color scheme was the traditional Strawberry Shortcake colors of red, pink, white, and green. I absolutely adored crafting all the handmade details that went into this party. I brought out my trusty sewing machine and started sewing the table runners and party streamer ruffle backdrop for the dessert table. I was so lucky to have found vintage strawberry shortcake fabric from the 80's, it inspired me to make my daughter's birthday dress resemble Strawberry Shortcakes dress, cute little apron and all. I designed and handmade her birthday party cone hat and headband out of this vintage strawberry fabric as well.
The invitations I designed, set the theme perfectly. I found a vintage strawberry shortcake birthday card, scanned it at high resolution and made her invitations out of that. My husband, who owns a print shop, printed and die cut the invitations to match the original birthday card shape. They came out simply adorable! The sweets were also so much fun to make. I channeled the inner baker in me and whipped up desserts to match each character, I also loved creating the matching labels. I absolutely ADORED how this party came out I can't believe it's over. I'm so glad it was captured on camera, so that we can relive this dream party over an over again. Enjoy!
