Have a gluten free menu, making it much easier to find edible items! Our server was great and assured me my food will be cooked on uncontaminated surfaces. Great service, great food!
Did NOT understand celiac or gluten free! Even after very clear direction on how to handle food for GF they made critical errors. Waitress was annoyed and not understanding. Manager never apologized or tried to correct error of contamination! DO NPT RECOMMEND !
I went once . That was enough. Totally not impressed.
Love going here. They are amazing with the gluten free menu and extremely careful. Dinner is always delicious and they have a fantastic brownie sundae for dessert.
4889 W. Chester Pike, Newtown Square,PA 19073
As someone who is very sensitive to gluten, I can say I've enjoyed several meals here and have felt fine after each. The wait staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Ask for a gluten free menu.
28 US Highway 46, Pinebrook,NJ 07058
Gluten free menu, lots of options, even dessert
27 Airport Square, North Wales, PA 19454
Great food and I did not get sick after. They have a great gluten free menu.
890 William Hilton Pkwy., Hilton Head,SC 29928
Gluten free menu and accommodating to other food allergies as well. They substituted veggies for me at no charge. One of our favorite places for seafood
201 Colony Way, Madison,MS 39110
Great food, great gf menu! The gf Lily's chicken is my all time fav. Never any reactions from eating here.
8701 W. Charleston Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89117
I've eaten here several times with no incidents. Staff is knowledgeable and kind. Many options and room for changes on the menu. My favorite is Lilys Salmon, and the flourless chocolate cake is a must!
24201 Valencia Blvd #3210, Valencia, CA 91355
Celiac. Have eaten here 6 times. Have not had a problem. I always order from their gluten free menu and tell them I have celiac disease. They have two gluten free desserts too!
160 N Gulph Rd, King of Prussia, PA 19406
I have eaten here twice. Both times the food was delicious and GF. I highly recommend the bonefish grill.
6527 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV 89119
Gf menu and staff is very knowledgeable. Have dined here several times and had great experiences each time.
27 Airport Square, North Wales, PA 19454
Staff knowledgeable about cross contamination. Flag every GF meal as such, cook food on separate area. Only restaurant I feel comfortable dining & not worrying about getting sick. My go-to restaurant!
6150 Rockside Place, Independence,OH 44131
good menu choices. all our food cooked excellent.gf desserts only thing missing is bread choices.
1305 W. 7th Street, Frederick,MD 21702
Very conscious about gluten free / contamination. Great food and good selection of GF choices.
5102 North Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80918
I eat here a lot - they actually do steak better than fish. I'm very sensitive, my son and I get steak and broccoli every time and never get sick.
269 Connor Drive, Charlottesville,VA 22911
Great service and food.
6600 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110
Great selection and gluten free menu.
15537 South La Grange Road, Orland Park, IL 60462
Good food, but staff needs more training. Waitress was made aware that I have Celiac Disease and all that entails. Brought out my salad with croutons. Also brought out my main course with a big 'ol gluten filled dinner roll.
4800 Whitesburg Drive South, Huntsville,AL 35802
Great grilled chicken Caesar salad!
215 Route 22 East, Green Brook,NJ 08812
Everything is excellent.
200 Mill Creek Drive, Secaucus,NJ 07094
Got sick here a couple of times and then I just stopped going. I used to love this place, but got a bit of attitude from the waitress about the salad also. She did not seem to care that there were crumbs.
19325 Gulf Freeway, Webster, TX 77598
Need to try: they have a legit gf menu with actual flourless desserts (brownies!!)
7820 N Carolina 751, Durham, NC 27713
If you go, be VERY clear about your GF needs and double check to make sure everything on your plate is GF. I have been to several locations and never had a problem, but had a very disappointing experience during Sunday Brunch at this Bonefish Grill. My sister and I both have Celiac. We both ordered from the GF menu and specified that we needed our meal to be gluten free. Both of us got plates with sides that were not gluten free. My sister's plate had toast on it and when we told the waiter he said, "oh, we will just take it off". I told them that I was really surprised that this happened since they are supposed to be certified in the Chef to Table program.
215 Route 22 East, Green Brook,NJ 08812
I could eat here 5 days a week! Great food, amazing understanding of gluten free needs. This staff is well trained and very pleasant and accommodating.
8100 W. Crestline Ave., Littleton,CO 80123
Great gluten free menu and very kind, knowledgeable servers!
225 West Pipkin Road, Lakeland,FL 33813
ALWAYS tell them you have celiac disease or an allergy.
472 Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove, NY 11755
Food is great and nice gluten free options.
1201 E Southlake Blvd, Southlake, TX 76092
Great place to eat, especially if you are gluten intolerant. The only downside is that they aren't open for lunch. ;-)
4848 Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Metairie, LA 70006
Have eaten here several times since they opened about 3 years ago without any reactions. Great choices on separate GF menu, great service, tasty, and reasonably priced. One of my favorites.
14218 S.W. 8th Street, Miami,FL 33184
Mango salsa tilapia was great, loved the jasmine rice and potatoes as well. My dad had a ribeye that he said was five stars. Brownie for dessert, could've eaten like five more. Decent options on the gf menu as well!
1555 Lake Woodlands Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77380
Excellent GF menu!! I highly recommend the Lily's chicken entree with sweet potato mash & asparagus :)
6610 Kingston Pike, Knoxville,TN 37919
Decent gluten free menu for a bigger chain, service is always good, nice atmosphere and drinks!!
696 J Bel Air Road, Bel Air,MD 21014
Good food, good selection just nothing gf for kids. They even have gf brownie sundae! Yum!
26381 South Tamiami Trail, Bonita Springs,FL 34134
Wonderful restaurant. I was assured by our waitress that my food would not come in contact with gluten containing items. Waitress was very helpful- provided me with a gf menu. Loved the gf brownie for dessert!
795 E Merritt Island Causeway, Merritt Island, FL 32952
Many delicious options on the gluten free menu. Staff knowledgable and thorough, checking with chef on whether specials could be prepared without gluten. Excellent customer service by manager when our orders had to be modified after they ran out of Norwegian salmon. Will be back.
900 SW Pine Island Road, Cape Coral,FL 33991
Great GF menu, including desserts! Staff was very knowledgeable and the kitchen has a separate prep area for GF.
4800 Whitesburg Drive South, Huntsville,AL 35802
The Saucey Shrimp appetizer is really good. I also ordered scallops and shrimp for my main course and it was good as well. The brownie was ok. Overall great experience.
14218 S.W. 8th Street, Miami,FL 33184
While I am not sure if this is 100% Celiac friendly, they do have an outstanding GF menu that includes several types of salads, fish, steaks and more. They even have a flourless brownie with raspberry sauce!!
11395 Parkside Drive, Knoxville,TN 37934
They care! I had questions and the manager came over and answered every one of them. I had a wonderful meal and I didn't get sick I will go back there again and again. They rock!
340 Oyster Point Road, Newport News,VA 23602
Separate GF menu with no prices which coordinates with regular menu, but we had to ask for the regular menu . I like that they take the time to develop a separate menu since I got the sense that our waitress was clueless and couldn't care about GF. My husband was able to get a full GF meal which was very good.
901 Lehigh Valley Mall, Whitehall,PA 18052
Gluten free menu with a lot of options from appetizers to desserts. My daughter has celiac and ate here twice with no reactions. It's one of her favorites places to eat out. She had the saucy shrimp as an appetizer, Caesar salad with grilled chicken for dinner and creme brûlée for dessert. All of it was delicious! I don't know how they get their chicken so tasty and moist.
8950 Covenant Ave, McCandless, PA 15237
Have a gluten free brunch and dinner menu but no lunch menu. Went for lunch today and had the blackened chicken tacos with no tortillas which they assured were gf. They were delicious! The flourless chocolate brownie was amazing.
7611 Somerset Crossing Dr., Gainesville,VA 20155
Fabulous seafood choices. Very good
2408 Tyrone Blvd., St. Petersburg,FL 33710
Great food and great service! They do have a gluten free menu, which is great. And just to be safe I talked to the server about their preparations and he said they kept it all separate. We had the muscles for an appetizer and they were delicious. Than I had the rainbow fish which was excellent and for dessert they sent out two of the gluten free brownies (since it was my mom's birthday). The raspberry sauce that came on the side was awesome. Only downside I'd say is that it was a bit spendy, but not really anymore than any other seafood restaurant. We would have definitely have gone back again, if it had been a bit closer to where we were staying.
103 Highway 17 South, North Myrtle Beach,SC 29582
They have a separate gluten free menu with several options on it. Loved the chicken with goat cheese, spinach and artichoke hearts
1880 N. Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach,FL 33426
Enjoyed the atmosphere and the many options. Waiter understood celiac disease.
1779 Carl D Silver Pkwy., Fredericksburg,VA 22401
Gluten free menu with good choices. I had shrimp and scallops with the garlic lime basil sauce, mashed potatoes and green beans. All was very delicious, however, for the price I felt the portions were too small and so did may others in my party. I had the creme Brule which was yummy and a margarita as well. They were very knowledgeable and even checked ingredients on an item not listed on their gf menu which I was curious about.
21065 Powerline Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33433
GF menu with lots of options, staff was knowledgeable.
18355 W. Bluemound Road, Brookfield,WI 53045
My husband and I decided to try out this restaurant after finding it on this app. We waited a little over an hour as it was a Friday night and we didn't have reservations. Everyone was friendly. They have a gluten free menu and they were even able to turn an appetizer from their regular menu into a gluten free appetizer. I can't remember the name but it was shrimp. I ordered the Filet Mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Over all the meal was good but the steak flavor was a little off, not the best quality for a meal that costs $25. I also ordered hot tea and the mint was delicious! I finished the meal with a brownie desert that would have been enough to feed two but I didn't want to share so I saved the rest for the next day.
620 W. Edison Rd., Mishawaka,IN 46545
I had a great gluten free experience here. The food was incredible! I'm very sensitive and did not get sick. Will definitely be going back.☺
2408 Tyrone Blvd., St. Petersburg,FL 33710
Had a delicious salmon salad while vacationing in the area. They offered a separate GF menu and the server seemed knowledgable. Tasted great and reasonably priced. My companion ordered fish tacos ( not GF) and really enjoyed them.
1761 West State Road 434, Longwood, FL 32750
GF menu is pretty extensive, but severely limited for DF diners. My meal was well prepared but under-flavored. Definitely worth a visit though if you are only GF. Try to catch them on a Tuesday for a 3 course prix fixe menu that's budget-friendly. Full review: http://www.glutenfreedairyfreereviews.com/2016/01/bonefish-grill-review.html

A star of the hotly anticipated series Glee shares her rules for living.
Glee, a new series about a high school glee club that features loads of music, laughs and heart, premieres on Fox Tuesday, May 19, then returns for a full run in the fall. Don't miss it—it's something special and unexpected from the creator of Nip/Tuck, Ryan Murphy.
One of the many reasons to watch is the inimitable Jane Lynch, a mainstay of Christopher Guest's improvisational films (she's the lesbian dog trainer in Best in Show), who plays the insanely competitive coach of the school's cheerleading squad. The 48-year-old comic actress, who is openly gay, talked to Brooke Hauser about some of her rules for living.
Do the footwork
"I have a friend who says, 'Do the footwork so something can land in your lap.' Especially in the beginning when I was young and hungry, I looked at every audition as an opportunity for someone to say: 'I discovered her.' I went in with a full characterization, and whether it was a good scene or a bad scene, I made it work. I prided myself on that. People were always grateful, whether I got the job or not."
Learn to listen
"The rules of improv are very good rules to live by—it's the art of allowing. In improv, you're not always trying to jump in with your line to show who your character is. You really have to sit back and trust that if you just let it evolve on its own, it's going to be something. But when you're pushing it to make your mark, it usually ends up falling apart. It's just like society: You have to let everybody have their say, and then you get your say."
Be yourself, and be proud
"I don't lead with my sexuality. It's not the first thing out of my mouth when I meet somebody. But I certainly don't hide it. I'm reaping the benefits of the work done by the people before me like Ellen and Rosie and Melissa, and even way before that. I've got a much easier path, and if I've been discriminated against because of it, it's been behind my back."
Live your dream
"When I was 39, I said, 'I won't be 40 and do my laundry in a laundromat anymore.' I scrounged up a 10% payment, I bought a house, I painted the walls and I had my first birthday party since I was a kid when I was 40. I remember sitting on the porch of my house and feeling this sense of, 'Oh my gosh, this is mine.' And I had this thought: 'I can be the woman I was meant to be in this house.' And I have been."

With the weather changing it's time for all of us to not only put on our winter coats but let's make sure to remember our pets. They to need to be protected against the elements. The story below talks a little about what we don't want to see and what the dedicated people at the BCSPCA are forced to deal with.
The BC SPCA is the only animal welfare organization in B.C. with the authority to enforce laws relating to animal cruelty and they responded to nearly 6,000 complaints of animal cruelty and abuse last year. Their investigations resulted in the rescue of 3,443 injured animals and the removal of 1,332 more animals from dangerous or neglectful situations. April was one of these animals. (more…)

Travel medicine is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on the needs of travelers, particularly those who travel to other countries.
Generally, physicians and others who specialize in travel medicine are experts in infectious diseases. Their expertise often includes knowledge of specific geographical locations and information about health conditions and disease outbreaks in different countries.
Travel medicine specialists know requirements for foreign countries related to vaccinations, health reports, availability of medications, and other healthcare treatments for diseases and disorders.
For people planning to travel out of the US, particularly to the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it is extremely important to talk with a travel medicine specialist as far in advance of your trip as possible.
Although the US government provides the latest information for the health and safety of US travelers, it cannot replace having a personal relationship with a physician who is knowledgeable about the needs of people who travel abroad.

Can Laptop Batteries Be Repaired?
by jaaron
Can Laptop Batteries Be Repaired?
Laptop batteries differ from other types of batteries in that they provide a relatively short service life and are expensive to replace. In this article we look at the reasons why these batteries do not last and examine the high replacement cost. We also look into the possibilities of repairing them. Most of today's laptop computers are powered with Lithium-ion batteries.
Under good conditions, Lithium?ion provides 300 to 500 discharge/charge cycles or 2 to 3 years of service from the time the battery leaves the production line. The capacity loss occurs through increased internal resistance caused by cell oxidation. Eventually the resistance reaches a point where the battery can no longer deliver the needed energy although the energy may still be present in the battery. There are no remedies to restore the capacity when worn out. Heating the battery will momentarily improve the performance.
Figure 1 illustrates the recoverable capacity at various storage temperatures and charge levels over one year. Nickel-based chemistries, a chemistry that is also used in laptops, is illustrated on the right column. The capacity loss progresses on a quasi linear scale for the second and third year.
Figure 1: Non-recoverable capacity loss on Lithium-ion and nickel-based batteries after one year of storage. High charge levels and elevated temperatures hasten the capacity loss. The capacity loss past one year progresses on a fairly linear scale.
During use, the battery compartment in many laptops rises to about 45°C (113°F). The combination of high charge level and elevated ambient temperature presents an unfavorable condition for the battery. This explains the rather short lifespan of laptop batteries.
Most laptops batteries are 'smart', meaning that some form of communications occurs between the battery and user. The definition of 'smart' varies among manufacturers and regulatory authorities. Some manufacturers call their batteries 'smart' by simply adding a chip that sets the charger to the correct charge algorithm. The Smart Battery System (SBS) forum states that a 'smart' battery must provide state-of-charge (SoC) indications.
There are two common architectures of 'smart' batteries. They consist of the single wire system found on high-end radio communications devices and video camera equipment, and the two-wire system, typically used on laptops. The two-wire system is usually configured as System Management Bus (SMBus). Because of its common use in laptops, we will focus on the SMBus system. Figure 2 shows the layout.
Figure 2: Two-wire SMBus system. The SMBus is based on a two-wire system using a standardized communications protocol. This system lends itself to standardized state-of-charge and state-of-health measurements.
The SMBus battery has five or more battery connections consisting of the positive and negative battery terminals, thermistor, clock and data. The connections are commonly not marked and attempting to test this type of battery appears complicated. Figure 3 describes the functions of a battery with 6 connections.
Figure 3: Connections of a typical laptop battery. The positive and negative terminals are usually placed on the outside; no norm exists on the arrangements of the contacts.
The positive and negative battery terminals are commonly located at the outer edges of the connector. The inner contacts accommodate the clock and data. (On a one-wire system, clock and date is combined.) For safety reasons, a separate thermistor wire is brought to the outside. This allows temperature protection if the digital communication is disabled.
Some batteries are equipped with a solid-state switch that is normally in the off position. In such as case, no voltage is present. Connecting the switch control terminal to ground will turn the battery on. If this does not work, a proprietary code may be needed to activate the battery.
How can I find the correct terminals? To begin with, use a voltmeter to find the positive and negative battery terminals. Establish the polarity. If no voltage is available, a solid-state switch may need to be activated. With the voltmeter connected on the outer terminals, take a 100-Ohm resistor (other values may also work). Connect one end of the resistor to ground, and with the other end touch each terminal while observing the voltmeter. If no voltage appears, the battery may be dead or the pack requires a digital code to activate. The resistor protects the battery against a possible electrical short.
Once the connection to the battery terminals is established, charging should be possible. If the charge current stops after 30 seconds, a digital code may be required. Some battery manufacturers go as far as to add a defined end-of-life switch. If a preset age, cycle count or capacity is surpassed, the battery stops functioning. When asking why such codes are added, the manufacturers explain that enduring safety can only be guaranteed if the battery is tamper-free and well performing. This makes common sense but the leading motive may be pricing. In the absence of competition, replacement batteries can be sold at a premium price. Newer batteries are generally more service friendly than older ones.
It is recommended to utilize the thermistor during charge and discharge to protect the battery against over heating. The thermistor can be measured with the Ohmmeter. The most common thermistors are the 10 Kilo Ohm NTC type, which read 10kOhm at 20°C (68°F). NTC stands for negative temperature coefficient, meaning that the resister decreases with rising temperature. A positive temperature coefficient (PCT) will increase the resistance. Warming the battery with your hand may be sufficient to detect a change in resistor value.
An SMBus battery contains permanent and temporary data. The permanent data is programmed into the battery at time of manufacturing and includes battery ID number, battery type, serial number, manufacturer's name, and date of manufacture. The temporary data is acquired during use and consists of cycle count, user pattern and maintenance requirements. Some of this information is renewed during the life of the battery.
How to repair a 'smart' battery
Some basic rules must be followed in repairing a 'smart' battery. If the cells are weak, cell replacement makes economic sense. While Nickel-based cells are readily available, Lithium-ion cells are not sold on the open market. Most manufactures offer them only in a completed battery pack, together with protection circuit. This precaution is understandable when considering the danger of explosion and fire if the cells are assembled in a careless way. Always replace the pack with the same chemistry cells.
During cell replacement, the circuit of many 'smart' batteries must be kept alive with a supply voltage. Disconnecting the circuit, if only for a fraction of a second, can erase vital data and render the circuit unusable. To assure continued operation when changing the cells, connect a secondary voltage through a 100 Ohm resistor before disconnecting the cells. Remove the secondary supply only after the circuit is fed with the needed operating voltage from the new cells.
The open terminal voltages of the replacement cells should be within 10% of each other. Welding the cells is the only reliable way to get dependable service. Attention must be paid in limiting the heat transferred to the cells during welding. Excess heat can damage the cells.
During storage, each cell has self-discharged to a different charge level. This is especially important on Nickel-metal-hydride. To assure proper charge of all cells without overcharging some, trickle charge the newly repaired pack for about 14 hours, then apply a charge, discharge and charge cycle. Such a cycle is also needed to reset the battery's fuel gauge circuit. Lithium-ion can accept a normal charge lasting about 3 hours. The Cadex C7000 Series battery analyzers feature a program that performs this priming function automatically.
How to calibrate the 'smart' battery
With use and time, a tracking error occurs between the chemical battery and the digital sensing circuit. This results in a loss of accuracy of the SoC readout.
The most ideal use of the 'smart' battery, as far as fuel-gauge accuracy is concerned, is a full charge followed by a full discharge at a constant current. In such a case, the tracking error would be less than 1% per cycle. In real life, however, a battery may be discharged for only a few minutes and the load may vary widely. Long storage also contributes to errors because the circuit cannot accurately compensate for self-discharge. Eventually, the true capacity of the battery no longer synchronizes with the fuel gauge and a full charge and discharge is needed to 're-learn' or calibrate the battery.
What happens if the battery is not calibrated regularly? Can such a battery be used in confidence? Most 'smart' battery charger obey the dictates of the chemical cells rather than the electronic circuit. In this case, the battery will fully charge regardless of the fuel gauge setting and function normally, but the digital readout will become inaccurate. If not corrected, the fuel gauge simply becomes a nuisance.
If no full discharge occurs for a few months as part of normal operation, a deliberate full discharge is needed. This can be done on the equipment itself, on a charger with discharge function or with a battery analyzer. Cadex manufactures SMBus chargers and battery analyzers, both of which can be used to test and calibrate the battery. The Cadex SM2+ (Figure 4) is a level-3 SMBus charger featuring a target capacity selector that is adjustable to 60%, 70% or 80%. The target capacity selector checks performance and flags batteries that do not meet the set requirements. The charger works like this:
If a battery falls below target, the charger triggers the condition light. The user is prompted to press the condition button to calibrate and condition the battery by applying a charge/discharge/charge cycle. The green 'ready' light illuminates if the capacity is met at full charge. If the battery does not recover, a fail light recommends replacement. The SM2+ charger accommodates batteries with the 5-prong knife connector by AMP. The charger services both SMBus and non-SMBus batteries. "Dumb' batteries do not provide state-of-health indications.
Figure 4: The Cadex SM2+ charger This level-3 charger serves as charger, conditioner and quality control system. The charger reads the battery's state-of-health and flags those that fall below the set target capacity. Each bay operates independently and charges Nickel-cadmium, Nickel-metal-hydride and Lithium?ion chemistries in approximately three hours. 'Dumb' batteries can also be charged but no SoH information is available.
For full battery service, a battery analyzer is recommended. The Cadex C7400 is a programmable battery analyzer capable of rapid testing, charging, priming and reconditioning a large variety of batteries. The battery packs connects by custom SnapLock battery adapters, programmable cables or the Cadex FlexArm™ adapter. The analyzer does not check the SMBus.
Figure 5: Cadex 7400 battery analyzer The programmable Cadex 7400 services lithium, nickel and lead-based batteries. SnapLock battery adapters simplify the interface with different battery types. A quick test program measures battery state-of-health in 3 minutes, independent of charge. Nickel-based batteries are automatically restored if the capacity falls below the user-defined target capacity.
The QuickTest™ program measures the battery state-of-health in three minutes by gathering data from six variables and combining them to derive the test results. Boost restores seemingly dead Lithium-ion batteries by re-activating the protection circuit that has been disabled through low discharge. Prime prepares and calibrates a new battery by repeatedly applying charge/discharge cycles until the peak capacity is reached. Auto reconditions nickel-based batteries if the user-set target capacity cannot be reached. Custom allows the setting of unique cycle sequences composed of charge, discharge, recondition, trickle charge or any combination, including rest periods and repeats. OhmTest™ measures internal battery resistance.
Summary Laptop battery can be repaired but such work only makes economical sense for smaller operators. The success rate varies with battery type. One must remember that the 'smart' battery consists of two parts, the chemical cells and the digital circuit. In some cases, the chemical part can be fully restored but the fuel gauge may become inaccurate or other data may get corrupted. Anyone attempting to repair SMBus battery must be aware of some non-compliance in the SBS forum. Unlike other tightly regulated standards, the SMBus protocol allows some variations. This may cause problems with existing chargers and the SMBus battery should be checked for compatibility before use. The need to test and approve the marriage between a specific battery and charger is unfortunate, given the fact that the SMBus battery is being promoted as being universal. Ironically, by adding more features to the SMBus charger and the battery, the higher are the likelihood of incompatibilities. Tighter regulations are desirable.

I think the Wiz are dying to get rid of Wall. I say we low ball them, Murphy and a 2022 2nd round pick.
Nah, not good enough. Kyrie.

Just asked...
They said "Hell No"
How can we know unless we ask? Are you serious.... this is a board of hypothetical gm actions we would make and why? This statement makes me wonder if you think Lyndsay will get on the Jazz forum himself and let us know what the Wiz front office said. They turn it down. We could get Nene at any point if we want. same with Okafor. They would take Marvin, Paul or Al plus Raja for either of those guys... the problem is our guys are worth more.

Post subject: Twitter
I took the plunge today based on what Cindy S (one of our pollsters) had to say about it, and joined Twitter. Basically it boils down to this: I'm nosy and didn't want to "miss" anything. Right now I do these forums, my blog, AAR After Hours, Shelfari, and Facebook, primarily, although I check in on MySpace every few days (both for my own page and for AAR's page, which I now moderate), and Books iRead and Visual Bookshelf - through Facebook - every week. I gave up on GoodReads right after joining it.
Because postings are limited to about a sentence, I don't know that this will work at all for me, but after seeing how many people I know are Twittering, I thought I'd give it a try. I was surprised, but I just got off the phone w/one of my nieces, who's in college, today, and neither she nor her older brother, also at that same college, knew what Twitter was. My response? "Oh, please! You're like, so, 2005!"
Who among you Twitters? Have any of you tried it, and then abandoned it? Right now it's about 50/50 that I will.

I love Twitter, although I was skeptical at first. It's kind of like an ongoing watercooler conversation, but without the commitment of blogging (I've pretty much given that good fight up for good). I can take a five min break from the writing and check out what's going on with the peeps I'm following; I can follow the links embedded in their messages or not, if I'm so inclined, or not.
But the limited message framework keeps me sharp and focused and from being long-winded (not that I have a problem with that, oh no
I do NOT use it as a promotion tool, BTW. Not that I don't mention when I've put an excerpt up or whatever, but this is far more social -- for me -- than business. It's just fun. And sometimes I don't think we have enough just plain fun in our lives.

I just don't understand the appeal of Twitter. I would be po'd with people, even friends, interrupting my workday all the time. This is why I never got into IM or text-messaging. I prefer email, voicemail, and discussion forums, like this, when I can come in and out at my convenience. And I've expresed previously my feelings about blogs
There is nothing that urgent that cannot wait and I do not need to talk constantly with other people. Guess I'm sooo year 2000!
I work with young people a lot and sometimes I feel they should just go ahead and get an implant in their brains so they can be in constant communication with their friends and the outside world. They have BIG problems being alone and silent.

Oh, I'd never use Twitter with a phone or somesuch that would allow the interruptions. That would drive me bonkers, too. (Not that I have far to go.
) I just use it on my computer, checking whenever I feel like it.
Or whenever I hit a snag in my work-in-progress...

The dog days of summer are all but over, and whether you like it or not, it's time to jump on back-to-school shopping. Whether you're heading back yourself, shopping for your kids or just looking to freshen up your wardrobe for fall, now is a great time to take advantage of all the sales.
If you're university-bound this month, a casual and comfortable, yet modern and sleek look is ideal for college students. Look for pieces that play well with others. A pair of boots in a neutral color will last you wear after wear all the way 'til spring, and they look good with just about anything. Please avoid hitting up class in pajama pants and opt instead for soft denim, PJs don't exactly spell scholarly. Lastly, don't be afraid to let your personality out with a printed backpack or messenger bag.
Here's a few options you might want to give some thought to:

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) has agreed to use Sutro Biopharma's cell-free protein synthesis technology to produce four different bispecific antibodies discovered by MSKCC for the treatment of neuroblastoma in children.
These antibodies will be directed against CD3 on T-cells and, as the second target, against the ganglioside GD2, which is expressed on the surface of human neuroblastoma cells, as well as in melanoma and osteosarcoma. Nai-Kong V. Cheung, M.D., Ph.D., head of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Neuroblastoma program, will use preclinical models to test the bispecific antibodies manufactured by Sutro.
"We and others have previously shown that the use of an anti-CD3 and anti-GD2 bispecific antibody has a strong scientific rationale, and anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies targeting the ganglioside GD2 have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials in pediatric neuroblastoma," Dr. Cheung stated. "We hope that the use of Sutro's technology will facilitate a more rapid, high-throughput optimization of these bispecific antibodies in the future, and allow us to investigate novel variants of these molecules quickly before bringing the winner to the clinic."
This isn't the first time Sutro has collaborated on antibody production. In December 2012, the company inked a deal with Celgene to use its cell-free protein synthesis technology platform to design and develop new antibody drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies for two undisclosed targets. The deal could return Sutro as much as $500 million.

La Monnaie ¦ Opera ¦ Prinses Turandot ¦ Intro
Prinses Turandot
(in Dutch)
The beautiful princess Turandot has many suitors, but she is not at all interested in marriage. She comes up with a stratagem, whereby each prince who wishes to marry her must first solve three riddles. However if he is wrong he will be beheaded. Her riddles are so difficult that all of the candidates lose their lives. Gradually, the people grow tired of this cruel game and urge their princess to choose a prince, but she remains adamant. Will she become an ice princess? Princess Turandot is an original production whose narration is enriched with excerpts from works in the classical repertoire: Puccini's Turandot, of course, as well as Mozart's Magic Flute, Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges, Lully's Armide and many other pieces, covering the period from the 17th to the 20th century.

And all these people love you, and compliment you. They tell you that you were the one they all loved once, that they all envied you your courage and nerve — that you were the most talented person back then and still are now, that your words move them to tears, that you never deserved to be treated badly, that anyone who could turn his back on you is a fool, they know in their heart that if anyone can rise to the top — it's you.
And you sit. And you allow all this love and respect to reverberate in your mind and in your soul, and the trillion little affirmations bounce around, trying to stick, trying to manifest into one solid feeling, something real, something less abstract and more substantial.
But if you are like me, all you can say is, "If everybody loves me so much, then why is there no one here to love me?"
And you say it alone and if you're lonely enough, you say it in an Irish accent.
"Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire."

I assumed some one would immediately.
so he's like 30 something? D :
yeah kelsh has mad daddy issues
I've googled my name and found out information about this old ass British politician that I don't care about
...i dated an older guy than that. he was hot though, barely looked over 30.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
I thought he was 35 and he thought I was 25 so the whole situation was a mess. Then we both found out each other's real ages and basically just don't talk about it. Haha.
Wow Kelsh, you really weren't exaggerating about older men in that other thread, were you? See, when I read that thread I assumed like men aged 27-29ish, and I was like "Well, that isn't too bad.."

|WAC honors Small
DENVER – The Western
Athletic Conference honored Idaho soccer player Chelsea Small as its Verizon
Offensive Player of the Week after she led Idaho to a 1-0-1 record and scored
in consecutive games the week of Oct. 10-16.
Small, a junior from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines HS),
scored on a free kick in the team's 1-1 draw at New Mexico State on Friday,
then blasted in a header to give the Vandals a 1-0 road win at Louisiana Tech
on Sunday.
The goals add to Small's already-school-record totals of 30
career goals, 12 game-winners and 71 points. She leads Idaho this season with
nine scores, three assists and 21 total points. Small has notched a goal in
three of the team's last four games.
"They were both phenomenal goals, "Idaho head coach Pete
Showler said. "The free kick was a tremendous dipping shot, then the header was
just a bullet, so it was two quality goals, but more importantly, it was two
key goals at crucial times. As she'll tell you, it came from great build-up
play, but she's just a clinical finisher."
Small's scores helped Idaho run its unbeaten streak to three
games and put the team into sole possession of third place in the WAC with a
2-2-1 record and seven points with two conference matches remaining this
weekend against Utah State and Nevada.
The Vandals kick off against Utah State at 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21, and then host Nevada on Sunday, Oct. 23 in the team's Senior Day match. Both games will be played at Guy Wicks Field.

No. 9 Field Hockey Holds Off No. 15 Albany to Earn 5-3 Win
Facing its sixth ranked opponent of the year, the No. 9 Princeton field hockey team concluded its five-game road swing with a 5-3 victory over No. 15 Albany Sunday afternoon in New York.
Freshman Cat Caro led the offense with two first half goals, while Michelle Cesan and Allison Evans each had a goal and an assist.
Cesan and Caro opened the scoring with goals just over a minute apart. The first came on an unassisted Cesan drive down the right flank, culminating with a reverse shot into the cage. Caro followed with the first of her two scores, receiving the ball from Evans in front of the cage to put Princeton up 2-0 at the 11:20-minute mark.
Princeton appeared to be in complete control of the game, limiting Albany to only one shot over the first 26:25.
As the defense held an effective and almost impenetrable line, the offense continued to command the pace of play. The Tigers added two more goals, both on penalty corner rebounds from Julia Reinprecht in the 21st and Caro in the 24th minutes to create Princeton's substantial 4-0 advantage.
Despite pouncing early and jumping out with a multi-goal lead, it nearly was not enough to sustain a midgame Great Dane rally.
Albany responded in a big way, going on to score three uncontested goals between the 29th and 42nd minutes to make it a 4-3 match.
Looking to avoid relinquishing its lead, the Princeton offense picked up its pace. The Tigers were awarded three consecutive penalty corners, but were unable to convert on all three direct shots on frame.
At 50:35, Evans was there to grab a Cesan deflection in front of the net to add an insurance goal and ultimately seal the victory.
Princeton held a 13-9 shot and 6-5 penalty corner advantage. Defensively, Anya Gersoff (7-3) made five saves to Albany's six.
The Tigers (10-4, 5-0 Ivy) return to Bedford Field to host their final two home matches of the year next weekend. Cornell comes to town on Saturday for a 12 noon meeting, followed by local rival Rider on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
Grasses in Containers (page 2 of 4)
by Rick Darke
Using Container Grasses
The dwarfing effect of containers on grass plants makes pots the ideal way to enjoy grasses that would be too big for some garden spaces if grown in the ground.
Though many grasses look best when grown individually in pots, you can create exciting combinations by planting grasses with other flowering or foliage plants in the same pot. Because many grasses have a fairly upright, fountainlike form, plant a tumbling, spreading, or cascading plant, such as moss verbena (Verbena tenuisecta), bronze-leafed sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Blackie'), or one of the spreading silver-leafed sages such as Artemesia schmidtiana at the base of the container to create an elegant scene.
Large grasses are useful for organizing garden spaces, creating outdoor "rooms," or serving as focal points in the same way that specimen shrubs or hedges typically do. Miscanthus, for example, is particularly well suited to cultivation in containers ranging from clay pots to half whiskey barrels to antiques such as copper boilers and tin milk cans. A tubbed specimen of miscanthus may be only half the size of an in-ground plant, yet it can serve a similar purpose. The Delaware Center for Horticulture uses a matched pair of containers planted with 'Morning Light' miscanthus to flank the front courtyard entrance doors. The fine texture of the grasses softens the bold surfaces of the building. Container-grown miscanthus can be used in similar ways to organize space in rooftop gardens and on suburban patios.
Containers are also an excellent way to enjoy spreading grasses that might otherwise be weedy nuisances in a flower border. While visiting legendary garden designer Penelope Hobhouse's garden three years ago, I was stunned by her dramatic use of blue grass (Leymus arenarius) in a large copper urn. This notorious spreader was perfectly controlled in the urn -- its colorful, straplike foliage beautifully complemented the natural patina of the copper urn and the surrounding perennials. The ribbon grasses (Phalaris arundinacea 'Picta', 'Feesey', and 'Tricolor') are all strong runners and superb candidates for containers.
Giant reed (Arundo donax) can grow nearly 14 feet tall if planted in the ground, and its stout rhizomes can cover a few feet in a single summer. In a container the size of a half whiskey barrel, however, it can be maintained at a very manageable 5 foot height. The white-striped 'Variegata' makes a particularly beautiful, modest-sized plant when grown in a container.
Growing grasses in containers sometimes reduces flowering, but in many cases that may be desirable. Blue lyme grass is less likely to bloom when confined in a pot, but the colorful foliage is this grass's main feature anyway; the flower stalks are relatively coarse and unattractive. Miscanthus is also less likely to flower when confined by a container. Although the plumy flowers are beautiful, the form, color, and texture of miscanthus foliage is quite striking by itself.
Another advantage of container gardening is the ability to shuffle plants, making new combinations over the course of a season, as plants go on and off peak. A strategically placed clump of blue oat grass (Helichtrichon sempervivens) can add a cool touch to the mid-summer garden. Since the textural beauty of grasses often remains constant throughout the year, they are especially useful for providing a reliable backdrop to various flowers and broad-leafed plants. In addition, the autumn flowering and foliage colors of many grasses can be the highlight of the late-season garden. I particularly value ornamental grasses for the way the way they are illuminated by the sun's rays, especially in fall, yet it takes careful design when laying out garden beds to ensure that grasses will be naturally backlit or sidelit. Container grasses can easily be repositioned to make the most of autumn sunstreams.

Now we return to the Nips! I'll spare you the long intro that I included in my last Nips review. Thankfully there's lots of different Nips flavors so there's something for every one. Here's my take on another set of flavors I was able to find.
Peanut Butter:
The caramel is the only taste at first, creamy and sweet. I am taken back immediately to the flavor of the caramel on fresh caramel apples. Once I work on it a bit is when the peanut butter flavored center comes out, leaking through the cracks made in the caramel by my teeth. The flavor is nice and nutty, with a good dash of salt and pairs nicely with the sweet caramel.
I found out I should chew these the hard way. They're so sticky they'll cement your molars together. I found light chewing and rolling in my mouth allowed me to work the flavors yet still keep myself occupied.
Chocolate Parfait:
I was really excited to try this one, as everyone knows chocolate and caramel are a match made in heaven.
This one starts like all the other Nips, with the same sweet caramel coating. Sadly, the "chocolate parfait" center tastes of those diet packets of hot cocoa. Ugh. Enough said.
The outside tastes like this wonderful mix of coffee or a cappuccino with the caramel. It's very creamy, smooth and sweet. The center is the same as the Chocolate Parfait, with that fake hot cocoa mix taste. I find that disappointing because the caramel coating is so nice, and it's taken down a notch by the fake interior.
I think these Nips still stand up well in regard to caramel candies you can find in most stores. I think the peanut butter is the best of the bunch here, but I know there are many fans of the other flavors despite my beef with the fake tasting chocolate interiors. They're something I plan on adding to my normal candy routine, since the long lasting texture is always a winner in my book.

For example, heated seating pads are more for rider comfort, while brand new gauge display lighting makes it much easier to see the readouts being given. It doesn't matter if your upgrade is more comfort-based or entirely for functional purposes. Whatever type it is, just make sure it fits (after all, there is limited interior space to use).

We all get into style ruts, myself included. For years I wore jeans, silk blouses sand blazers and called it my uniform of choice. That was before my year-long love affair with dresses topped with cardigans, and after a decade of all black (I was new to New York city, so I felt it was the law).
My point, and I do have one, is that five years ago I vowed to mix it up. Regularly. I committed myself to combining colors in unexpected ways, to layering with abandon, to coordinating casual with dressy (cargo pants with beaded tops), and to sample all sorts of never-before-tried silhouettes. In short, I busted myself out of my self-imposed style rut, and it's the best thing I ever did.
Mixing it up and pushing your fashion forward is the surest way to insure you are modern and up-to-date. That you are paying attention and taking part. That you care. This Spring, go for it. Add color, try a slouchy pant, consider a blazer in a skinny stripe and pair it with a floral blouse. You may even find the whole exercise freeing.
Go! Buy! Be chic!

Vesuvius volcano excursion from Sorrento. Walking tour - Naturalistic excursion
The mount Vesuvius is an active volcano 1250 metres high. It is popular for the eruption of 79 AC that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. Last eruption was in 1944.
Nowadays it is a beautiful natural park. An excursion on the Vesuvius is a fascinating walking tour into the "macchia mediterranea", the typical vegetation of our area, till to the mouth of the Volcano. The rise is a little bit long and tiring, but with a comfortable pair of shoes it will be not too hard (250 m of height difference, about 70 minutes walking). From the top of Vesuvius you can enjoy a wonderful view of all the Gulf of Naples.
The excursion takes about half a day. You can reach the mount Vesuvius from Hotel Mediterraneo with a local train (station 7 minutes by foot, trains every 30 mins, it takes 45 minutes) till Herculaneum and then with the bus Herculaneum Vesuvius. From the Hotel by car it is around 45 minutes. It's possible to hire a car through the reception or to have a car with driver.
Group excursions are available 3 days a week during the high season.
Vesuvio excursion is a naturalistic walking tour. We suggest a group tour with a naturalistic guide. Full day excursion is also available and it combines Pompeii with Vesuvius, history and nature. This excursion is not suitable for people with moving problems.

One of the new products that were announced at the All Candy Expo this year were a new line of "fancy" M&M's. These M&M's not only looked different, but they also come in an array of new flavors to appeal to more sophisticated palates. I eagerly awaited these beauties to show up in stores and when I finally say them in Target, I scooped up the three most appealing flavors (hey, they're $3.99 apiece!) so I could give them a try.
These M&M's Premiums are different in many ways, but the biggest difference for me is that they lack the candied shell of the originals. I find it really odd not having the shell there. The M&M's feel like you've sucked on them already and have dissolved the shell, so all that hits your tongue is the smooth creamy milk chocolate. This is frustrating, since the shell kept the M&M from "dying" too quickly in my mouth and helped the taste and experience longer. That shell kept the delicious party raging on longer and I miss it.
The packages are cute, I give them that. They're tall cardboard boxes that curve inward at the waist. They have a little window in the tummy area so you can see the M&M's inside, all shiny and looking like twinkling treasure. Inside, the design gets even more intuitive. The M&M's come in a re-sealable little plastic pouch, making it easy to take a little now and safely store the rest for later.
Chocolate Almond:
These have the bright blue speckled exterior and I'm reminded of sapphires. The almond is terribly fresh, with a good crunch and a strong nutty flavor. The chocolate is sweet and compliments the nut well. The only thing I wondered was were these worth paying more than the normal Almond M&M's? I think the only difference is the exterior. My conclusion is no, since I'd rather have the shell and pay a little less.
Triple Chocolate:
These are purple and pink spattered and look very pretty. The "triple" comes from the fact they have milk, dark, and white chocolate layered in them. Their size is larger, similar to the size of the Razzberry and Cherry M&Ms.
These are incredibly creamy right off. Again, the lack of shell means you get an intense chocolate hit right away. It's very sweet, milky and terribly smooth in texture. When bitten in half the cross section shows dark chocolate on top, a layer of white in the middle and the center is the milk. The chocolate is pleasant, as it's really sweet and milky, with a slight caramel and coffee note in there. Other than that it isn't any more complex than that (really, it's an M&M, what do you expect?). Regardless, it's very satisfying and tasty. I don't really get a sense of all three chocolates but it's a good blend that makes this richer than the regular M&M's.
The fairest of them all in my humble opinion with their bronze, copper and golden colors. They're the size of plain M&M's and smell chocolatey with a hint of coffee. Good points right away, since I'm scared they wouldn't taste very "mocha" like at all.
Like the Triple Chocolate, these are very creamy and have a good coffee flavor right away. It's strong enough to stand out, but not drown out the chocolate flavor. Thankfully the M&M is not overly sweet and it really reminds me of the mocha you can get at the coffee shop. The coffee flavor is bold and slightly acidic, and tastes of a good brew and not just like there was some Folgers flavoring mixed in there. So if you've been looking for a good coffee flavored chocolate, this is worth a try.
The M&M's Premiums are a fun little experiment. The new colors and flavors are attractive and fun, but with the higher price I don't find them complex enough to keep me from buying more. I hope these do well since I am a fan of M&M's, and I hope Mars would consider adding more flavors to the mix so something more unique would come along.

The backstory: Nine years ago, while vacationing in France, Stock bought two antique cottages and a barn in the picturesque village of Rignac, 5-½ hours' southwest of Paris. She planned to spend summers there. "Rignac was the antidote to my stressful New York life," she says.
What inspired her: A high-rise erected next door to Stock's Upper East Side apartment effectively sealed off its natural light. Meanwhile, her beautiful, sun-drenched summer refuge in Rignac beckoned. She loved France's rich cultural history and traditions, was reasonably proficient at speaking the language, and had a portable career.
How she made it happen: Stock moved to France permanently after selling her apartment in 2007. "I paid $60,000 for the place and 12 years later sold it for $350,000," she says, "and it had no light! This was just months before the real estate market went belly up." After her move, she continued to write and illustrate for US publishers, but the decline in the American economy soon caused those sources of income to dry up. So Stock decided to flex her entrepreneurial muscle, teaching watercolor workshops at her home, and renting out one of her cottages over the summer at a weekly rate of $730 to $840. She also sells her paintings and holds exhibitions of other artists' work in her small, converted art gallery. Her income is 40 percent of what it used be, but that loss is offset by her paired-down cost of living. "I made just over ten thousand euros last year on painting classes, house rentals and artwork sales, and just over twenty thousand dollars in book royalties." Not much by New York standards, she says, but her mortgage is completely paid off. "Also, real estate taxes are pretty low in the countryside, and I'm in the French healthcare system," she says. "As a freelancer in New York, healthcare was my biggest expense." After living in France for three months, getting into the country's healthcare system is as easy as enrolling at a local office—with a utility bill or anything showing proof of your residence there. Getting to the point where you are considered a resident is a little more involved, she says.
"The French love paperwork. If you plan to spend more than three months here, you must get a Long Duration visa," she explains. "However, it entailed filling out eight applications—by hand—and I had to give the French Consulat in New York eight copies of everything, from the deed of my house and bank statements to tax returns and airplane tickets." She had to repeat the process (five copies this time) for her Residence Permit after she arrived in France. "I practically needed a wheelbarrow to deliver all of this." This permit is typically renewed every five years, though Stock was recently given a 10-year version allowing her to work there. Despite all of the hoops to jump through, she loves her French life. Stock rides her bike everywhere, buys fresh milk and eggs from her neighbor, and has time to paint, take her dogs for long walks, and grow her own summer vegetables. "My life here is so much simpler and less expensive," she says. "It's a country where a single, never-married woman can live comfortably. Fashionable new clothes, restaurants, and expensive entertainment are not temptations. It's about the quality of life: spending long evenings over a good meal with friends under clear, starry skies in summer, or in front of a warm wood fire in winter."

So, owners Alisha Niswander, Cassidy DuHadaway and Katie Stellpflug decided to open up shop for a Yuletide-themed artist party on Friday, Dec. 7.
While the shop, located at 283 N. Main St. in Kamas, will open at noon, the holiday party will run from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., and be held in place of the monthly First Friday event, Niswander explained.
"We decided not to feature a big artist for our First Friday artist opening this year and just to do a big push for an event to generate sales for everyone and bring people down to celebrate the holidays," Niswander said during an interview with The Park Record. "We want to get festive and all that good stuff, and thought it would be fun to mix things up and celebrate."
The event will feature live music by local acoustic singer and guitarist Ryan Walsh and photos with Santa Claus for the kids from 6 p.m. until close
It will also include sweet treats, drinks and other holiday cheer, Niswander said.
"We'll make all different sorts of goodies and will probably have some cheese and crackers so nobody will walk away with a cavity," she said with a laugh. "We'll also have some hot chocolate and cider for the kids and some wine for the adults."
The highlights of the holiday party will be opportunity drawings every 30 minutes.
"The prizes will be items that are made by the artists who regularly show their works at the Exchange," Niswander said.
There will be no cost for the drawing tickets.
"We'll give them out for free," Niswander said. "All people have to do is show up, and the only thing we ask is that they are present to win."
Last year, the Starving Artist Exchange welcomed the season in by participating in a festival through the Summit County Arts Council at Cattleman's Hall in Oakley.
"They weren't able to do that this year, so we thought about what we could do to get some people to Kamas and into the store and came up with the holiday party," Niswander said. "Our goal is to help create an art community in Kamas and we hope we'll draw a crowd with this event. In fact, starting from this event, we'll begin offering extended hours throughout the month."
The Starving Artist Exchange, 283 N. Main St. in Kamas, will host a Holiday Celebration on Friday, Dec. 7, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/thestarvingartistexchange .
