Every child, at some point or another, wishes to awake with a stomach ache so school could be skipped. But, few ever thought it might be possible to arrive at school and discover there were no teachers. In Nigeria, the state commissioner of education fired the entire school staff and the principal of the Government Secondary School Fantal in Hadejia because when inspectors came to the school in a surprise visit, there were plenty of students in class, but virtually the entire teaching staff was no where in sight. The Commissioner discovered that about 15 different classes had students but the teacher was missing.
Unfortunately, there have been too many cases in various African nations of teachers who exchange grades for sex or teachers who claim they have to work at another job in order to make ends meet which compels them to skip school when work gets in the way. The children need teachers, not absentee minds.

There was sort of one several years back.
Congrats Kevlar51! A very nostalgic design!
"We call this color: COLOR 07. By which we mean, the background is Black."
Maybe it was COLOR 0F because look at that phosphor glow! (Or y'all had the intensity turned way up!)
In the old BASICs, it would be COLOR 10, 0 for light green on black, assuming a color display such as CGA, EGA or VGA.
With with an MDA or Hercules-compatible card, the color would still work as 2-7 normal "white" (or in this case a green phosphor shirt), 10-15 were high intensity, 0 and 8 were black plus 1 and 9 being underlined normal and high intensity, respectively.
So with that logic, it could be COLOR 0A, as well.
Now I'm going back into hiding because I just remembered the commands for a Soroc IQ 120, Hazeltine 1500 and a TeleVideo 950....

ROTFLMAO! I kept thinking it was January, 1, 1970.
I'm sorely disappointed that that awesome space shuttle shirt didn't make it, and instead this overly simple shirt did. This one's okay.
Nice. But I would have preferred:
A good PR#6 or Peek & Poke visual pun.
And I'd gladly buy three shirts if someone can pull off a decent Beagle Bros homage.
Ha! This statement makes me nostalgic because I grew up listening to my dad complain all the time about Works and Word and his constant struggle to keep using WordPerfect for as long as possible.
But I'm also bitter about this theme because I took summer school in high school to skip computer literacy and we learned how to use DOS, only to be told the next fall that the course no longer counted because it was outdated.
This makes me want to settle down and play some Zork III.

Sweet I was born in 1981!
We still ran DOS on our home computer in 1990 (because we didn't have Windows, not because we ran them both). My youngest daughter was 2 that year, and learned to type in her name to bring up her favorite animated batch file. She learned her alphabet that way, too, and the correspondence between upper case (keyboard) and lower case (what appeared in glowing green on the screen). Back in those days, the worst thing you could do to a computer was crash it. No internet, no viruses. Then we got Windows...
Being born in 1981 I feel like I should buy this, but being not that big on the design I think I will pass. I'm holding out for the Reagan attempted assassination based 1981 shirt.
It's baaaack...
make it $sh or $bash and I'd think about it.

And if I need bananas, I'm going to eat good old fashioned apples!
Personally if I have primitive variables that I need to initialise in a specific order, I'm not going to rely on the class definition order to do it, and that means good old fashioned assignment with the = operator.
assignment != initialization
By the time your assignment is actually reached, your variables will have already been default-initialized (though it'd probably be optimized out* if the variable isn't accessed before your assignment).
*Which is less a guarantee than the standard-guaranteed initialization order.
Why wouldn't you rely on the standardized initialization order? The only reason I can think of, is third-party APIs that have weird initialization requirements, requiring you to be 100% sure the API is initialized before you can, for example, load resources. This forces you to break out some initialization outside of the constructor entirely, into separate Init() functions, mucking up RAII for any globally-constructed variables.
But even in that situation, your assignments would still need to happen completely out of the constructor, and it wouldn't be a matter between constructor-body or initializer list, but between the entire construction process or a separate member-function called later.

Hmmm is Egan the one who brought students -useful idiots-to some of the public hearings last winter as people tried to stop the very very very low income housing coming to our fair town? Does she tell the captive student audience of the other side about global warming etc? Studies the MSM refuses to print that debunk this whole myth?? Does she teacher that a big environmentalist was A. Hitler? Does she share info about Ira Eihorn--the founder of Earth Day -joke- in prison for murdering his girlfriend? Of course not! Liberals never tell the truth. This award is a joke.

Dutch researchers of the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen have found a new gene for Sensenbrenner syndrome. The mutation adds support to the hypothesis that defects in ciliar transport are the cause of the disease. Project leader Dr. Heleen H. Arts is supported by a Kolff Junior Postdoc Grant of the Dutch Kidney Foundation.
Sensory Organelle
Ciliary disease disrupts the cilia, small hairlike organelles that jut out from the cell membrane. Cilia are involved in many important processes, for instance the sensing of fluid streams inside kidney tubules or the registration of light in the light-sensitive cells of the eye. They are antennas that pick up signals that are essential for the cell to react to outside conditions.
The newly found gene codes for IFT43, a protein of the intraflagellar transport complex. This is responsible for the transport of molecules within the cilia. Two genes that were earlier proven to be implicated are also part of the IFT. One of these was found and published last year by the same research group.
Flawed Transport
According to Dr. Arts, "this third IFT gene strengthens the existing hypothesis that the retrograde transport, from the cilium tip back down to the cell, is affected." She adds that the study is the first to show the IFT defects in cels from Sensenbrenner patients.
The IFT proteins are little molecular trains running along the cilium backbone of microtubules from the cell membrane up and back. They carry the cargo that is necessary for the cilia to function properly.
"We have quite some knowledge about IFT proteins complexes," says Arts. "For instance, the IFT-A complex consists of six proteins and takes care of the retrograde transport. However, the structure of some of the proteins is largely unknown."
When downward transport is compromised the tip of the cilium will swell and cilium function is impaired. "IFT57 molecules get trapped in the cilium tip," explains Arts. "This is one of the proteins that is involved in the upward transport."
Finding Answers
There is no cure at hand for ciliary syndromes like Sensenbrenner's. "Understanding the causes is the first step towards therapy," underlines Heleen Arts. "My research is important for improving diagnosis of the disease and for better genetic counseling. I think it is going to take years to develop effective treatment."
Further research is aimed at increasing the knowledge of the genetic background and explaining the mechanisms. Arts: "What exactly happens when the cilium is not functioning optimally? Why is the transport disrupted? Why do these defects result in renal failure? I would like to get an answer to these questions."
For a long time, cilia were viewed as rudimentary cell parts left over by evolution. Today, researchers and doctors realise that faulty cilia are an important cause of serious ailments like Polycystic Kidney Disease and rare syndromes like Sensenbrenner's. Together, these are termed ciliopathies.
Sensenbrenner syndrome is a rare ciliopathy that causes skeletal and ectodermal defects and kidney problems (the ectoderm is the outermost cell layer in the embryo and gives rise to among others skin tissue and nails, nerve tissue, teeth and eye lens). Symptoms are for instance too early closure of skull sutures (craniosynostosis), malformations of the arms and legs or fingers and toes, defects of hair nails and skin, and progressive renal failure. It is a rare condition that is part of a range of overlapping related congenital ciliary syndromes.

Then I'd say you should try out EVE online.
It's the only MMO that I know of that comes close to what you describe; it's like ultima by the sound of it.
It does'nt have no-pvp zones, but zones guarded by NPCs that discourages players from pvp, but if you're far enough away from the guards you can do hit-n-runs and be gone before the guards have time to respond.
But it's a sandbox game alright, and there are no servers with pve only since there is only one single but huge server where every player plays; sheeps and wolfs alike.
You can chose to play as the pirate, hunting for targets and ambushing lone miners or cargo transports and destroying player ships drops some of the equipment mounted on them, not all, so there's no full loot.
guarded zones have to be very limited imo.. theres too many in eve.. ive played it... lowsec is ok but too much highsec.
Also the game is just incredibly boring it feels like a papersheet game with graphics.. flying around 100 hours to get to destinatoin...
clicking attack and yawn while fighting... u know what i mean. just staring at ur pixel sized ship surrounded by endless space flying in direction determined by "compass"... yawn. maybe if eve online was more like strartrek online but with eves pvp system and startreks combat system... then it might be fun.
There's 1 AAA mmorpg that might become good.. world of darkness.. made by same company behind eve online.. but its gonna be a more normal mmorpg.. not space.
But i cant bother waiting excitedly like a kid waiting for santa anymore.. too many mmorpg's have tried like dfo, mo to name the big ones.. then hundreds of other small ones.
its like waiting for santa and finding socks in the present... i just dont believe in santa anymore but if it turns out theres no socks in the present this time ill be really happy but its nothing im expecting from past experience.
I just dont see how they can succeed with WoD.. because of the reasons towards the beginning in the thread.

So what happened? Well, as is usually the case with bad judgement, I was feeling awesome. The day started out beautiful. Trails were slow and soft but rideable. I had everything dialed in. I rode with a peloton of six other cyclists and felt like I wasn't even working. The wind picked up over the course of the afternoon and began to drift in the trails with the 6 inches of dry snow that fell the day before. By Flathorn Lake, at about mile 30, all of us were off and pushing, and the group started to spread out. Evening fell and the light became really flat. Because I was pushing, I was not paying much attention to the trail, instead looking out at the beautiful alpenglow on Mount Susitna and the ground blizzards tearing across the lake like sand in the desert. Suddenly, my front wheel dropped sharply into a trench just as I was stepping forward with my right foot. I fell backward onto my butt and my right leg plunged up to my upper thigh in frigid water. My leg dangled over unknown depths of the lake as I frantically clawed backward up the trench. The overturned bike had also punched through the thin ice with one handlebar, but I left it there until I was securely on solid ice. I laid on my stomach, reached down and pulled it up by the rear wheel. A right pogie and a mitten that was stuck inside were completely soaked and the outside of my bivy bag was superficially wet. I'm pretty sure I lost a half-eaten bag of MnMs to the frigid depths of Flathorn Lake. But, much more concerningly, I had taken on tons of water inside my gators, boots, and both socks.
Now, I don't need lectures. I know how serious this is. At this point, I had to make quick decisions. I was out in the middle of a frozen lake in a fierce headwind and ground blizzards with temperatures already dipping below zero. I decided at that point that my best option was to get out of the wind and get into my bag in an area where I could build a fire, and I knew of a nice sheltered area between Flathorn Lake and the Dismal Swamp, about a mile away. However, on foot, pushing a bike through soft snow, a mile is quite a distance. By the time I got to the sheltered spot, by boot was frozen on. I could not even unhook the Velcro on my gators, let alone undo the laces and zipper and pull my foot out of a completely waterproof boot. So I was faced with a boot stuck to my leg and water sloshing around inside. What I should have done at that point was build a fire, wrap my sleeping bag around my body and try to melt enough of the ice to free my foot. But that's hindsight. What I did do was get this idea inside my head that my foot was perfectly warm even with the water inside my boot. I thought with the vapor barrier sock and insulated boot, my body heat would warm the water and create an equilibrium that I could work with, at least until the next checkpoint. Especially since I was walking at that point, and with all of the drifting snow, there didn't seem to be any end in sight to walking. I managed to wet my boot last year and walk for several hours in similar temperatures with no problems. Thus, the bad judgment. I thought I was fine.
The next seven hours were great. The soft trails set up enough to ride again, and I was feeling so strong that I alternated riding and running every 10 minutes just to keep my foot warm. I continued to wiggle by toes and they continued to wiggle for me. The temperature dropped to 25 below zero on the Yentna River. The fierce headwind drove the windchill down to minus a lot, but I never felt the effects of the extreme temperature. To deal with my frozen pogie and mitten, I put my left mitten on my right hand and rode with only a fleece glove on my left hand. I procured a new bag of MnMs and ate, and rode, and ran, and felt great. I knew I had a long layover at Yentna waiting for me, but I still didn't believe my race was over.
I arrived at the checkpoint at about 2:30 a.m. I was in 13th place. I sat down in the doorway and went to work removing my boot. Even sitting next to a wood stove, it still took me 10 minutes just to work the gator free, then the laces, finally the zipper. When I tried to remove my foot, I realized that my sock was frozen inside my boot. And as I worked the sock down to simply try to remove my foot, I realized with no shortage of trepidation that my foot was frozen to my vapor barrier sock.
It took nearly a half hour to get my foot out of my boot. The tips of my toes were rigid and white, but I was not yet willing to admit to myself what I had done. I quickly slipped on my bootie, went in the next room to check in, ate a meal and settled down for a nap.
I felt no pain as I slept, for the first two hours. Geoff arrived at about 5 a.m. and I told him I was worried I had frostbite. We moved upstairs and it was about then that the thaw set in. For three hours, I laid on the floor on top of my sleeping bag in a hot room, writhing in agony. Hard to explain that pain. Like the "screaming barfies," drawn out for three solid hours. I drew blood from by palms by clenching my fists so tight. By the time I stood up again, I could hardly walk.
I hobbled down the stairs to let the checker know about my situation. I showed him my foot, which still didn't look that bad. The sun shown brightly outside. The thermometer had climbed to 12 below. It looked absolutely beautiful. I so, so wanted to go out there and ride. "It's up to you what you want to do," the checker told me. And I'm ashamed to admit that I, after going through what I had gone through with the thaw, and knowing perfectly well that I absolutely had frostbite, and still had a wet boot, socks, mitten and pogie, seriously considered continuing in the race. Tim Hewitt, a man who has walked to Nome three times and has set out this year to do it a fourth time, who has to be one of the toughest men on Earth, walked up to me and said, with sincere sadness in his eyes, "You can't go on."
And that was it. Geoff, who was upstairs wheezing and coughing and struggling with a cold that had turned into a more serious respiratory illness, mulled over continuing for several hours before deciding to scratch and fly out with me. It was a horrible morning. The lodge owners and other racers were very kind, but I was in a state of disbelief, mostly about my foot and how much the condition had deteriorated over the morning. But dropping out of the race weighed very heavily on my mind. And I had to question my own mental state, and just how tied up I'd become in this whole thing, when I was more disappointed about leaving the race than I was about the fact that I had just sustained a fairly serious injury.
Looking back, I know what I should have done. Taken my boot off immediately, crawled into my partially wet bivy on the lake ice, and awaited help which was very close behind, in the form of other racers. I've mulled over all my options and I realize there was, with the gear I had with me, no way I could have saved my race. Falling into the pressure crack, because I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking, was my fatal mistake. But I absolutely could have avoided frostbite, and now have to question whether the misguided hope that I could save my race led me to drive on when it was clearly not the smart move.
This race has no margin for error. I love it still but I'm extremely disappointed right now, with concern about my upcoming recovery, and a fair amount of self-loathing for the decisions I made. It will take some time, some time when I'm on crutches and unable to ride my bike, but I'll work through this. As always, it's another life experience. I can't say I haven't learned a lot.
I want to say thanks to Scott for tracking me during my short time on the trail, to Sean Grady for his offer to help, to everyone who helped gear me up for the race and everyone who supported me. I'm sorry I let you guys down.

Ok, I've been led to this site via Honus' instructable on how to make a fett helmet out of cardboard. I searched the site and read up on a lot of scratchbuild techniques before starting my build.
Thanks to Honus and others for the inspiration and to Alan (WOF) for the templates.
For the cardboard I'm using mat backer board - It's some type of cardboard/paperboard used in mounting pictures in frames. It curves well without creasing and a full sheet was $0.99 from the local craft supply. That's for enough material to complete this project !
I had a partially used Bondo fiberglass repair kit which was used to fix a split in my bumper. It would probably have gone to waste in my garage but now it's going to help me make a durable, affordable Fett Bucket!
Here's my progress so far:
Roughed together:
Back insert remover to ease the interior fiberglassing, you can see the sheen from the Mod P:
Here you can see the interior covered with the woven fiberglass and resin:
The excess fiberglass mat has been trimmed off on the right using a dremel sanding wheel:
Fully fiberglassed dome the exterior cardboard is now only for detail, not strengh:

Yesterday's post about Dell's experimental developer-centric laptop Project Sputnik struck a chord. It's the most popular post we've done at DevOpsAngle, it has 181 comments on Hacker News so far and Dell's collected 40 suggestions on its IdeaStorm feedback site. One clear theme: There's no such thing as the perfect developer laptop.
Needs vary quite a bit depending not just on developer taste, but on the type of development being done. Systems developers have different needs from Web application developers. as RedMonk analyst Donnie Berkholz wrote on Twitter: "Funny watching the debate on the 'perfect' dev laptop. Screen glossy or matte? 6:9 or 4:3? Almost as bad as editor wars."
Some developers need beefy hardware specs to run multiple virtual machines. Others just need a local Unixy environment for writing PHP. Still, the top rated ideas on IdeaStorm tend to be about the hardware specs – better displays and more RAM top the list.
Many developers think they already have the perfect notebook in the Macbook Pro or Macbook Air. Linux kernel developer Linus Torvalds famously uses an Air, and told TechCrunch: "I'm have to admit being a bit baffled by how nobody else seems to have done what Apple did with the Macbook Air – even several years after the first release, the other notebook vendors continue to push those ugly and *clunky* things."
Web developers in particular have favored Macs in recent years, and although Apple caught a little flak for making Xcode a paid download, the OSX environment makes for a friendly place for developers who want a Unix toolchain without giving up the comforts of a mainstream computing environment. The ability to run multiple operating systems through Boot Camp or through virtualization tools like Parallels and VMware Fusion make it hard to beat.
The Lenovo ThinkPad is another favorite. One Hacker News reader commented "At the very least a laptop designed for developers ought to keep the Insert/Home/PageUp + Delete/End/PageDown cluster in the normal formation, like Thinkpads do." Another commenter soon noted, however, that the new line of ThinkPads will have a new keyboard layout.
But this much is clear: in its current state, the Dell XPS13, the model being used as a trial-run of the Dell developer laptop, is not the notebook developers are looking for. But the Project Sputnik team at Dell didn't expect to get it right the first time, right out of the gate. "The whole idea is to be agile, the goal is to do a scrappy skunk works project," project leader Barton George told me today. "We latched onto the XPS13. It's a good looking system that's getting a lot of attention right now, so it was a good one to get started with." George explained that the team will be iterating as the feedback rolls in.
And roll in it has. There's no such thing as a perfect developer laptop, but Dell is in a position to alleviate some pain. Let's hope the Project Sputnik team listens. So far, it seems that they are. For example, George commented on his blog that one of the next versions, if the project makes it far enough, will have 16GB of RAM. Having a few options, but not too many, will make all the difference.
On brighter note, many commenters were simply happy to see official support for Linux coming out of a major vendor. I know from experience that installing Linux on a laptop can be like pulling teeth, and many non-developers have expressed interest.

I'm an UL hiker and love to take pictures. 5 years I'm doing it with my Nikon D80. I have two lenses: 18-70 and prime 50 f/1.4. I don't need any other lengths. Even thought to get wider Tokina 11-16 f/2.8.
So when you grab your photo bag with all the sort of gear it's HEAVY! Can't find a way to minimize it's weight. But now I'm going to switch to a full frame camera (Nikon D800 or Canon 5D Mark II) with some good lens for landscapes. This will be even more heavy…
But I just can't without it. Hiking without my camera is not fun for me. Am I a really UL hiker?
Heard there are new mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses. People say they perform not bad, but all the shots I saw haven't impress me much.
What do you guys think, whether there will be a full frame mirrorless camera?Jun 6, 2012 at 2:38 pm #1884654

Gregory, I'm not sure what the problem is. Glass weighs a lot. Fast glass weighs even more.
For ordinary scenic photography, you can get by with many types of cameras. I go after wildlife, and that tends to demand long lenses.
When I start out on a typical trip, I have about ten pounds of base weight, ten pounds of consumables, and ten pounds of camera gear.

Take a look at the following thread for the Sony NEX system.
Specifically Jacob D's photos at the end using a NEX-5N and Voigtlander 15mm/4.5. I believe he also has a 5DMk2 at home and finds the NEX quite capable as a backpacking replacement. Other NEX users at dpreview and fred miranda are finding that the Sigma 19mm/2.8 is a surprisingly sharp lens for it's price.
If you decide to go the full frame route you'll just have to get your gear to a uber-SUL stage to compensate!Jun 6, 2012 at 5:26 pm #1884694

Horses for courses, as they say.
The Sony NEX 7 and the Fuji XPro1 get excellent reviews for image quality. These are APS-size sensors, so the same size as your D80, not 24x36mm ("full frame.") I've handled the Sony and it's a nice little camera. Really little, in fact, though the lenses are rather large.
My personal feeling is that micro 4/3 is the sweet spot for the tradeoff between size/weight and quality. The sensor size is slightly smaller than APS, but that size difference allows for much smaller lenses – my Panasonic GH2 with the standard zoom is easily less than half the size of my 5D Mark II with the standard zoom. There is a large selection of Micro 4/3 prime lenses, too, and many of them are excellent.
The image quality of the smaller formats is not going to be as good as a D800e or a 5D Mark III, especially at higher ISO values. But that's the tradeoff for smaller cameras and less weight. Is the image quality adequate for your purposes? If so, great! If not, carry the heavier camera.
I would expect that the images from the GH2 would surpass what you are getting now. I've been very happy with it.
As for a full frame compact, it's possible, but the sensor size would dictate fairly large lenses, so it might not be all that small overall.Jun 6, 2012 at 6:43 pm #1884710

I'll second the recommendation on the Olympus / Panasonic micro 4/3 format.
I used to be a Leica snob, back in the film days, but now their digital offerings are in the stratosphere when it comes to pricing. I tried Canon a DSLR but couldn't get used to the bulk. When Nikon got back into the game with updated prime lenses I almost switched, but realized I'd be trading one set of heavy glass for another.
The micro 4/3 format seems to have hit the sweet spot in terms of sensor and lens quality, for a small package. The zooms are almost all slow, although Panasonic just announced a fast 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH (equivalent to 24-70mm in full frame 35mm format). The primes are the crown jewels, compact, light and reasonably priced. I have the Pana 14/2.5 and am waiting for the 25/1.4 to come off backorder. To round it off I'll probably go with the 45/1.8.
As for bodies, the Olympus OM-D EM-5 is getting a lot of attention, but the Panasonic GH2, G3, and GX1 have all received strong reviews over the last year. All are much lighter than full frame DSLRs, and pros/pundits like Kirk Tuck, Michael Johnson and Ctein write very positively about the format. How big a print do you really need?Jun 7, 2012 at 12:30 am #1884803
Yes – Leica prices are frightening, but if you want full frame mirrorless it is the only current option.
I was pretty fanatical about photography for about 10 years, working as a semi-professional nature photographer. I used 35mm film and then later on DSLRs, I carried a full set up, along with a tripod and filters on backpacking trips and then later on I focused on photographing New Zealand's bird life (less hiking involved).
About two years ago I became pretty burnt out with the whole thing and for a variety of personal and professional reasons decided to take a few years complete sabbatical from photography. I am now just deciding to get back into it and the choice of set ups has increased dramatically. I am currently using an Oly XZ-1 with an external EVF for snaps on back packing trips. It is a joy to use and gives good results at low ISOs.
If I decide to get back into things more seriously then I will probably go down either the Sony NEX route or the micro 4/3 route. Both are capable of producing publishable images, but I would probably tend towards the NEX if the lens line up improved and the replacement for the NEX 7 is a better performer with manual focus wide angled lenses.
I found over the years that producing quality landscape images took a lot of commitment in terms of time and required that I carried a decent tripod. It wasn't easy to find the right balance between it being a backpacking trip or a photography trip. The more you swing towards the photography the more value there is to me in carrying heavier gear to maximise the quality for the time put in and at some point larger formats become tempting again.
I do agree though that for most people the micro 4/3 format offers tremendous potential in a small package and the new EM-5 looks ace. Currently though I ma just enjoying the freedom of a small point and shoot and trips that are focused on backpacking and not photography.

As for me – I am getting a Fuji X100 next week as a digital replacement for my beloved Canon QL19 and Minolta 7s thrift shop cameras and as a way to hopefully get back to the simple pleasure that photography once was.Jun 7, 2012 at 12:49 am #1884806

@butukiLocale: Kanto Plain, Japan
Don't forget the Ricoh GXR system. The newer lens units use APS sensors and the quality is extremely high. It even has an M-mount lens unit designed to use Leica, Voigtlander, and other M-mount legacy lenses, and the sensor has very high dynamic range and beautiful resolution. Many people are calling it the poor-man's Leica.
I've moved on to the Oylmpus OM-D E-M5, mainly because I found the GXR's lens units difficult to make work as a single, integrated system, plus I wanted a much faster focusing camera, since I take lots of wildlife and people photos. However, I still very much prefer the Ricoh camera interface and love the colors and rendition of the Ricoh APS sensors.Jun 7, 2012 at 4:33 am #1884818

I'm enjoying the X100 and finding it to be a very capable camera. What I love most is the lens, it's fast and sharp, unobtrusive, and a joy to use. There is a bit of a curve figuring out the menu system, but once you have everything set you're free to shoot manually or assisted with very little effort. I parted with my Nikon D7000 for this and don't regret my decision one bit.Jun 7, 2012 at 12:50 pm #1884948

@tauneutrinoLocale: Upper Galilee
Hi! Thank you all for answers. I read the entire thread Eric Lundquist pointed out. Great thread!
Overall I liked photos I saw from Sony NEX. But there were no full sized photos. Only resized ones.
Having a better resolution (both, sensor and optical) is a plus – you can crop part of image without loss of sharpness (if you just look at your photo on TV/screen, not huge prints).
Overall seems very nice option. Maybe I will end up with selling all my DSLR gear …. :D
How about external flashes for that NEX? Is there any long telephoto lenses with stabilization? Is it that comfortable to change exposure compensation? Are there dials for aperture/shutter speed change in aperture/shutter speed priority modes? Are there function buttons to which you can assign any function of your camera (I hanged Spot Mettering to mine on D80)? Is there spot mettering? Are there filters such as Graduated Neutral Density available for the lenses?
I think I'll go have some read OL…Jun 7, 2012 at 2:07 pm #1884969

@cobbermanLocale: Northern Colorado
The following response is a result of my own experience with the Sony NEX-5 (Not the newer NEX-5N).
How about external flashes for that NEX?
The NEX comes with a propriety flash connector and flash. Sony makes an additional OEM flash which is higher powered. I find that the low light performance of the camera allows me to not use a flash.
Is there any long telephoto lenses with stabilization?
For native E-Mount there are only a few telephoto zooms available. Sony makes the 55-210/f4.5-6.3, 18-200/f3.5-6.3, and 18-200/f3.5-5.6. Tamron also makes the AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens for Sony E Mount.
Is it that comfortable to change exposure compensation?
Once familiar with the dial on the back of the camera if it is very easy.
Are there dials for aperture/shutter speed change in aperture/shutter speed priority modes?
There is a digital PASM/P Tv Av M dial for accessing the different modes.
Are there function buttons to which you can assign any function of your camera (I hanged Spot Metering to mine on D80)?
With recent firmware updates you can specify a few custom buttons. I have mine set for ISO but I imagine Spot Metering may be an option.
Is there spot metering?
Are there filters such as Graduated Neutral Density available for the lenses?
Yes, just as any other DSLR lens you can purchase ND/GND/UV/CPL/etc filters. The 16mm and kit 18-55mm have a 49mm filter size. I've feel like a step up filter ring may be a better option if you already have several lens filters.Jun 11, 2012 at 2:53 pm #1885962
I've been really debating making the switch from my Nikon D90 to a mirrorless camera as well. I just find myself often skipping putting the D90 in my backpack because of the space and weight that it takes up. I've been looking at the Sony NEX-5n, it appears that it should have image quality that is comparable to my D90, would any of you agree with that? I handled the camera in the store the other day, and besides the somewhat large kit lens, I really liked the way it felt.Jun 11, 2012 at 6:52 pm #1886031
Rick DreherBPL Member
@halfturboLocale: Northernish California
IMHO lenses first, camera second. Whatever system gives you the optics you need either has or will have the camera you desire, so rapid is the turnover of camera models.
The good news is that mirrorless can replace dslrs in 90% of shooting situations at a fraction of the weight and bulk. It's the way to go for backpacking.
RickJun 11, 2012 at 7:59 pm #1886061
Hey Paul. I'm going to guess you might be the same "Paul" that left a comment on my blog post regarding D90 vs. 5N. Not sure if you saw my reply there (just a few days ago)… in any event D7000 = 5N in terms of the sensor (same sensor). Handling will be totally different.
100% samples can be found around the web (or if that's too much work, go ask at Fred Miranda). Not everyone pixel peeps, but I do. I determine if a lens is 'good enough' by looking at a properly focused 100% crop. If I don't get the sense that I'm looking at an enlargement, then it's good enough. This is very doable with the 5N.
I have the Sigma 19… but I haven't used it much. This could be a problem. I just don't like the build quality of the lens, although amazingly it seems to perform quite well, with the Siggy 30 being even better in that regard. I really prefer my MF Cosina Voigtlander lenses for the way they feel, the small size, and direct manual operation. I have not decided what route to take there. I wish Sony would introduce a high end 12-24 zoom!
All that said, the Oly OM-D looks to have an excellent sensor in a nice package. I didn't care for the cramped controls though (NEX-7 feels better to me with the finder and control dials as far apart as possible) which is something that won't come into play with the 5N unless you add a viewfinder. Still a very nice camera and definitely worth checking out.
Samsung should be releasing a couple of new mirrorless bodies this year too, and I'd want to know how those perform before making any purchases.
GL with your decision, let us know what you do!
oh, almost forgot – I recently updated the gallery of images on my 5N blog post. I have a better selection of photos there now (for the curious).Jun 12, 2012 at 10:33 am #1886243
Yep, that was me. Your name/site kept popping up as I did my research about mirrorless cameras and backpacking.
I do like "pixel peeping" to get a gauge of what a camera can produce. And you have some nice pics on your blog post, are the "Trinity Alps" photos from Stuart Fork/Emerald Lake?
I originally began looking at the lower end Olympus cameras (mainly the EPM-1) to not replace my D90, but just to be my backpacking/light travel camera. But my wife shot that down, and said I didn't need another camera, and that the Nikon would probably just gather dust. And there is actually a lot of truth to that. When I backpack or travel via airplane, I often leave the Nikon at home because of it's bulk, and with a new mirrorless camera it would see even less use. So I started to think of getting a higher end mirrorless camera and to sell my Nikon. I've taken a bunch of great photos with the Nikon, and I'll sure I'll miss it at times, but I think I'll take a lot more photos, and find myself brings along my camera on trips if I get something like the NEX-5N. (which I am seriously leaning towards right now)
Thanks for your input!Jun 12, 2012 at 12:00 pm #1886270
Good eye Paul; those Trinity Alps photos were indeed from the Stuart Fork area. That trip was last year with a great group of BPL members, I plan to return this fall.
The lake was either Emerald or Sapphire, I visited both. At that time I had only owned my 5N for about a week. That was the first trip out with it and I took the 18-55 kit lens and a CV 40/1.4 (not a bad combination, as it turns out).
Handling will be your biggest concern I think, I wouldn't worry about the image quality. You might consider purchasing a gently used 5N if you go that route to see what you think. On the other hand, if you happen to use Nikon legacy glass, or any ZF lenses, I think you may really like the MF capability of the 5N. Downsides are: In bright light using the "sunny" setting for the LCD is mandatory. Using polarized sunglasses makes the screen more difficult to see.
I've taken a ton of photos since owning the 5N, not because I point and shoot more, but because I have it with me more often. My 5D would stay at home quite a bit due to size/weight. I recently picked up a ZE 35/1.4… that combination is a tank, especially after handling the NEX :)Jun 12, 2012 at 12:01 pm #1886271

@gregfLocale: Canadian Rockies
I made the decision to go with the EPM-1 over the sony's because after you put glass on it the Olys handle much better than the Sony's and the lens selection matched what I wanted. You definately give up about 1.5 stops of iso but I think that is balanced out by the lens selection.
My hiking kit consists of the epm-1, and the 14,20, and 45mm primes depending on how much weight I want to hall. Sometimes I also add some reach and leave the 20 behind and bring the 40-150.Jun 12, 2012 at 12:27 pm #1886279

"But I just can't without it. Hiking without my camera is not fun for me. Am I a really UL hiker?"
Hi Gregory,
Yes, when it comes to photography you get a free "get out of jail" card, so to speak. Photographic equipment is exempt from UL criticisms. It's perfectly fine to carry 18 lbs of heavy large format camera bodies, lenses, light meters, gitzmo tripods and other camera gear. Nobody will question it or suggest to you that you don't need all the heavy equipment and to just "use your cell phone camera"
Just be glad you are not a knife guy. If you enjoy whittling, bushcraft or making things out of wood and take a nice but light 6 oz knife into the backcountry (can you think of a single object that is more at home in the backcountry than a knife?) you will be admonished and scolded and told that you only need a razor blade.Jun 12, 2012 at 12:57 pm #1886285
Hey Greg. Keep in mind that handling is subjective. A bit like: backpack X fits better than backpack Y. Also the handling of 4/3 lenses v. SLR lenses v. Rangefinder lenses are all a bit different.
I agree though that lens selection is a valid point regarding mount specific lenses.
LOL Daniel… I just tell the anti-knife folks that I bushwhack with UL handguns. Shooting poison oak into pieces is tons of fun ;)Jun 12, 2012 at 10:50 pm #1886434

I looked at the X100 a year or so ago, but wrote it off due to all of the quirks that seemed to hang around after the initial firmware upgrades…
If I was in the market for a fixed lens, I would definitely give it a second chance based on the new firmware. It appears the sticky aperture blade issue is also fixed, which is very good news!
Good thread here (with link to article about the new firmware):
http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1120268Jun 13, 2012 at 10:15 am #1886551
I live in Redding, so the Trinity Alps is kind of like my "backyard". I've backpacked there many times. (twice this year, both times without my D90) Though Stuart Fork is one of the areas I haven't been to, though I did look down on Emerald Lake from way above it on a ridgeline.
Nice to see that the kit lens performs well, especially when compared to some other kits lenses I'm familiar with.
Like I said, I fiddled around with the Sony a bit in the store, and I like the feel, but I won't know for sure what I'll think until I get it outside. I do think the flip screen will be useful especially when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Can't say it's easy to squat/lay down to look through a viewfinder on a lowered or compact tripod. If I do get the 5N, it'll most likely be a used one.Jun 20, 2012 at 12:28 pm #1888709

I've upgraded from a Ricoh GX200 (24-72 zoom) to a Ricoh GXR. Not UL, but good IQ. The thing is I want DSLR quality and superzoom capability. The GXR lens/sensor units make it possible to have both in one kit at a reasonable weight. The A12 28mm f2.5 unit uses a full APS-C sized Sony sensor and weighs 210g, the P10 28-280mm 10 x optical zoom unit uses a much smaller sensor and weighs a mere 171g. The camera, battery and card weighs 210g. So for a total of 591g or just shy of 21oz you have DSLR image quality for landscapes and portraits/group photos, and the ability to pluck birds on the wing and bring distant crags or canoes close up.
This is more than some will carry, but a lot less than the OP, with more versatility. And after all, the kit only weighs about the same as a pint of water. OK, the P10 unit only gives around the same image quality as a Pana TZ20, but the 28mm f2.5 APS-C has some serious low light ability and high IQ for close work, groups and panoramas.
I'll see how it goes.

SCAD announces complete programming schedule for deFINE ART
The Savannah College of Art and Design presents the schedule for the 2014 deFINE ART program, the university's annual contemporary art showcase, to take place Feb. 18-21 at SCAD locations in Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia and Hong Kong. Support for deFINE ART has been generously provided by the Ford Foundation, Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas H. Lee, the Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation and the Consul General of Israel to the Southeast.
As the deFINE ART 2014 honoree, Alfredo Jaar will deliver the keynote address Wednesday, Feb. 19, at Trustees Theater in Savannah, and Thursday, Feb. 20, at SCAD Atlanta. Jaar's large-scale SCAD-commissioned installation Shadows, made possible with support from the Ford Foundation, will make its world premiere at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah during deFINE ART.
Other programming highlights for Savannah include the premiere of new performances by Jonah Bokaer, a performance by Tony Orrico, the Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation lecture by Theaster Gates, and an artist panel featuring deFINE ART artists. There will also be receptions, a gallery hop and a SCAD School of Fine Arts student showcase.
In Atlanta, SCAD will present an artistic practices panel with deFINE ART 2014 artists Abrie Fourie, Ryan Brennan and Orly Genger, moderated by Steve Aishman, dean of academic services for SCAD Atlanta.
In Hong Kong, SCAD has planned artist talks by Lee Kit and Gonkar Gyatso as well as an artist reception for Gyatso's Meditations on Irony exhibition and a student showcase including a book signing by Marianne Lau.
"Through exhibitions, performances, lectures and panel discussions, SCAD's deFINE ART program gives SCAD students and our communities unparalleled access to contemporary artists who are at the forefront of what is going on in the art world and who are, in many ways, pioneering new creative platforms," said Laurie Ann Farrell, SCAD executive director of exhibitions. "It's an honor for the SCAD Museum of Art and our galleries to host these exhibitions and an incredible educational opportunity for SCAD students, faculty and staff to interact with such an internationally acclaimed roster of artists."
Featured deFINE ART exhibitions by Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Dustin Yellin, Sam Nhlengethwa, Viviane Sassen, Jason Middlebrook, Matthew Brandt, Tallur L.N. and Nathan Mabry, among others, will be on view at the SCAD Museum of Art. In Atlanta, SCAD will present exhibitions by Orly Genger and Abrie Fourie. An exhibition by Gonkar Gyatso will be on view at SCAD's Hong Kong location.

They don't have a dedicated menu, but can make a few things: Ham, potato's, eggs, omelette, bacon and sausage. We all ordered gluten free since I don't have to but do because my husband and son are both GF. Just easier that way. Our breakfast came and I had half my Gluten-free omelette eaten, when our server brought out a new one to me and said the cook said she put bread on that omelette before it was served to you. I was glad that it was mine and not my son's breakfast, but then I wondered how careful are they in the back? I didn't need the other omelette and wished they would have been a bit more careful and had checked with me before they cooked another one. I did appreciate that they did that, but the omelette was half eaten before they told me it had bread on it. Hoping they are a bit more careful for people who have severe reactions from either celiac or non celiac gluten sensitivity issues.
Waitress was very helpful, gave me extra portions of fruit and vegetables. Potatoes are cooked in soy. I got eggs, avocado, tomato, green salad and fruit.
Been here several times, and despite ordering GF with no bread, I have always received bread or other gluten items on my plate. I've always had a great experience at the Anderson location on beechmont however!
No dedicated menu. Can only order fruit, ham, bacon, sausage, and potatoes.
1648 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., Wesley Chapel, FL 33543
the chicken chimchurri dish is AMAZING. I have eaten at this location twice in the last 4 months and have always found a great selection of egg dishes. the potatoes are carefully cooked on the grill as well. would love to see gf bread added to the menu, but the breakfast food is PHENOMENAL. I have never got sick eating here and they are very accommodating. I highly recommend
2125 S.E. Federal Highway, Stuart, FL 34994
First Watch was once phenomenal about GF options and cross contamination. In the last year or so, they have become GF ignorant and rude. They provide an allergy ingredient sheet but no longer accommodate celiac. Twice now, I have gone and have not eaten. When specifically saying, "no toast, no gluten products", the toast has arrived with my skillet or touching my eggs. So, disappointing! They were once a safe and reliable, "go to".
1648 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., Wesley Chapel, FL 33543
Insanely limited selection. This is a good place if you like to wait around for a really long time just to eat side dishes. I'm having a side of grits sprinkled with embarrassment and inconvenience.
7305 W. 95th Street, Overland Park, KS 66212
Stay away! GF menu (not found online) has NO entrees, only four side dishes: grits, fruit, seasoned potatoes, and meats! We had to get up and leave!
3017 Daniels Road, Winter Garden, FL 34787
Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten. Love it place!
7091 College Parkway, Ft. Myers, FL 33907
No gf menu. They make you go online, which I couldn't find. Very disappointing!
21210 St. Andrews Blvd. #15A, Boca Raton, FL 33433
Disappointed in their lack of a gluten free menu.
19321 E. Highway 40 #L, Independence, MO 64055
They changed their menu and don't have a gluten free menu anymore, but I was able to order an omelet. The servers are still aware of gluten and can advise you on what to order. Super busy place, but very good!
8104 East 68th Street, Tulsa, OK 74133
This restaurant no longer serves gluten free bread or toast. The only thing available for breakfast that is gluten free is an omelette. And a cup of fruit. Our server did not seem to know very much about any gluten-free items on the menu. Omelettes are the only choice.
9233 Floer Dr., West Chester, OH 45069
clearly an opportunity to enjoy some really great meeting they take pride in all natural elements fresh and cage-free eggs my suggestion would be the hash which has many options and his to be a Critic no shrimp and grits allowed!
168 Market St., Westlake, OH 44145
no gf menu. i was served bread with my meal after informing staff of allergies
11160 Panama City Beach Parkway #409, Panama City Beach, FL 32407
We had lunch at First Watch today. We do not have celiac, but we are an anti-inflammatory diet. I am avoiding wheat, dairy, and tomatoes. I had the Sweet Honey Pecan salad. It had a wasabi-like kick to it, and I enjoyed it very much. My wife had the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl and loved it. They don't have a GF-dedicated menu, but they do have a "don't eat" menu." Plus, the staff was very helpful in answering all our questions.
15289 W 119th Street, Olathe, KS 66062
Hardly any gluten free options, including dressings
80 W. Kemper Road, Springdale, OH 45246
No gluten free menu, waitress had no idea how to help me. I ended up having mixed greens with lemon juice because that was the only thing she could guarantee would be gluten free. Their online allergen list said the tacos were gluten free, but I had the waitress double check and it turned out that the corn taco shells did contain gluten.
8178 S Lewis Avenue #A, Tulsa, OK 74137
This location much better than the Memorial location. No gf bread but they make accommodations and have never gotten contaminated
4741 Chace Cir, Hoover, AL 35244
There is very good service and they have an option to trade bread for gluten free seasoned potatoes.
9645 N. Black Canyon Hwy., Phoenix, AZ 85021
I had the quinoa protein bowl! It was delicious!! Very accommodating as far as gluten, however I'm not celiac.
4324 53rd Ave E, Bradenton, FL 34203
First watch has been beyond accommodating and takes all dietary restrictions seriously. I have eaten here three times and have not gotten sick. Each and every time I have eaten here it has been a great experience. They do not have a gluten free menu but they are very happy to explain what can and cannot be done. Additionally, they not only ensured my food was gluten free but dairy free as well. The manager, Robert came to my table and personally took my order this last time but was always involved in my food preparation(every visit). Great Job to the team at First Watch ! Thank you very much for taking my condition seriously!
8104 East 68th Street, Tulsa, OK 74133
This used to be my safe breakfast place. They have stopped with the gf bread and no longer train their employees on gluten allergy. The waitress I had didn't have a clue and I had to explain my allergy. To top it all off I was so sick after eating here this last time. I WONT go back.
11682 Parkside Dr, Knoxville, TN 37934
Be careful! The chicken broth has gluten and it is in things that you would not suspect. The potatoes are also not GF. The manager and server were awesome and very helpful. When our server wasn't sure, she made sure to find someone who knew. The quinoa with egg was amazing.....just tell them no chicken broth!
2159-D York Rd, Timonium, MD 21093
Most items are GF by not having the toast. Just ask your server what is GF. The breakfast tacos were tasty. Wish they had cappuccino.
20424 Route 19, Suite 420, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
Eat here often. Plenty of GF options. Staff very knowledgeable.
312 Mid Rivers Center, St. Peter's, MO 63376
I like FW but now that I'm GF I found it lacking in choices. The featured breakfast was fig prosciutto toast and eggs. But they did NOT have GF bread option and the waitress had a lame excuse why they don't have ANY GF bread on site. I ordered it anyway and it was delicious BUT I shouldn't have to risk my health to enjoy a tasty breakfast. Sadly we won't be returning to what has been a favorite restaurant.
3402 Technological Avenue, Orlando, FL 32817
I absolutely adore this place: the service is fantastic and I love their coffee! As a coeliac hailing from Melbourne, Australia, that's saying quite a bit! Staff are incredibly attentive and most items on the menu can be made gluten free with some substitutions or simple adjustments made to each dish. They highlight my orders in giant red marker just to make sure the kitchen staff get the memo. I've dined here twice with no issues thus far.
9916 College Blvd., Overland Park, KS 66210
Had great service and had a wonderful kale drink and an omelet. They were knowledgeable about celiac issues and brought my food out separately. Very tasty and filling.
2540 Iowa, Suite D., Lawrence, KS 66046
The options were fine (omlets); however I went in wanting pancakes or waffles. They don't have GF options for those or any breads. A little disappointed.
35146 US Hwy 19 North, Palm Harbor, FL 34684
Screw this place. Not only is there a ton of cross contamination, but they just denied serving my friends because of their autistic son. This is totally against the law.
8104 East 68th Street, Tulsa, OK 74133
they used to have a seperate gf toaster and were great about separation but it seems that corporate pulled the plug on that. no longer my go-to breakfast spot :-( hope they change it back!
7163 Radio Road, Naples, FL 34104
Good food, but we were told they are "redoing the gluten-free menu", which apparently has been in process since 2014. Nothing is guaranteed Celiac-friendly.
520 Tampa Street, Tampa, FL 33602
I went to this first watch and the one in Brandon and got sick both times. They don't have a gluten free menu printed, but supposedly have one online. However it was not on their website. I would not recommend eating here if you are celiac, they do not have a designated area for gf food.
11682 Parkside Dr, Knoxville, TN 37934
Omelet and no bread are good to go
520 Tampa Street, Tampa, FL 33602
We came here for breakfast. The waitress was very knowledgable about celiacs the substituted fruit for tots told me to avoid the sauces and sausage theses contained gluten. Very happy and upbeat place.
3402 Technological Avenue, Orlando, FL 32817
I have eaten here multiple times and haven't had an issue. I usually get a skillet bowl consisting of potatoes, onions, cheese, eggs and tomatoes. Very yummy. It is a bit expensive though but I usually only got every once in a while.
2125 S.E. Federal Highway, Stuart, FL 34994
Lunch was horrible. Yogurt is Dannon's. Nt gluten free. Corporate needs education. Staff is list in the woods.
6240 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter, FL 33458
Nothing was gluten free but fruit and coffee. They didn't have a gluten-free menu, no pancakes( every site had bread/pancakes...something about 'getting corporate on board', couldn't guarantee the omelettes...I am learReally lucky I was not diabetic. Dining across the board in Florida is not good.
50 East River Center Blvd., Covington, KY 41011
They have a gluten free menu online but not in store. I got an iced coffee and an omelet with potatoes as my side. It was very good! I loved the atmosphere and I didn't get sick after. Would recommend to a friend.
4501 Texas Avenue South, College Station, TX 77802
They don't have specific gluten free items mentioned on the menu. But they have LOTS of gluten free options. Their breakfast quinoa power bowl was amazing. They have some awesome fresh pressed juices too. They just opened a June 2016, according to their sign. OMG good!!
120 Hilltown Village Center, Chesterfield, MO 63017
They don't have gluten free bread options, but they do have a lot of omelettes and salads that are naturally gluten free. The omelettes are amazing! If you want to be super healthy you can get them with mixed greens instead of fried potatoes as a side.
4501 Texas Avenue South, College Station, TX 77802
The atmosphere is great! I got herbal tea and the traditional breakfast. I substituted the bread for fruit! Yummy food and no reaction!
225 Banyan Boulevard #100, Naples, FL 34102
Although it is true that First Watch does not offer specialty gluten-free items, the quality of other naturally gluten-free dishes is great. I can tolerate trace amounts of cross-contamination and so there were plenty of fruit, breakfast meat, and egg options available for non-Celiacs like me. I am unsure if it is Celiac friendly due to any possibility of cross-contamination in the kitchen.
4741 Chace Cir, Hoover, AL 35244
We ate at First Watch on Saturday morning for the first time. Luckily there was outdoor seating, as the minute we walked in we were hit by freezing cold temperature - we would've froze outside.I have celiac disease, so I checked the menu online before we went. I saw a few potentially good options, so yay! Before we were seated I asked for the gluten free menu. I was told that they didn't have one available, that I'd need to look it up on my phone. Ok.So we were seated outside, and off to my phone I went to look and see what I wanted to eat. Near impossible. Seriously, try it. I had to find where the gluten free options were and try and match it up to the menu. But all dishes for all locations are listed online and not on the menu. Plus there's a lot of info on-line - was almost impossible to figure out certain things - is there a dressing that is gluten free? Luckily, our waitress hung in there with me as I attempted to find something I could eat, and make it completely gluten free (can I sub potatos for the toast?). The rest of the family ordered their food, too.Coffee was ok. Just ok. My son didn't like the apple juice (odd, he likes most).Food wasn't particularly hot unfortunately, just warm. I liked my food though. I wish I could tell you exactly what I had (omelette of sorts with bacon, cheese, salsa and sour cream dolup on top), but when I just went to check back on the menu online, I can't even find it. I guess I'm finding the online menu confusing.Husband and kids like their food. Guess i need to write my reviews right after I eat next time for more specifics.Anyway - a BIG THANK YOU to First Watch for having gluten free options. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. But PLEASE, could you have a printed menu to order from? We'd love to come back, and hopefully have a bit warmer food (since it seems to be a recurring problem per other reviews).
4501 Texas Avenue South, College Station, TX 77802
Great breakfast and brunch food. The kitchen completely changes gloves and pans for all food allergies (including eggs). Waiter was nice, and staff let me choose substitutions for accompaniments on menu (like getting vegetables instead of toast).
312 Mid Rivers Center, St. Peter's, MO 63376
I'm incredibly disappointed in their gluten fee menu, which is really an allergy ingredient menu. Allergen identification menus are useful, however they mark their omelets as containing wheat, because it comes with an English muffin. Stupid! Also they note that no bread products, waffles, or pancakes can be made gluten free. That is understandable, yet very disappointing no gluten free bread option offered. Maybe contamination risk is too high. How do other places manage? Servers are very nice and accommodating, but very disappointed in menu!
6768 Perimeter Loop Road, Dublin, OH 43017
No separate GF menu. They hand you a paper list describing every item on the menu that you have to sift through for whether or not the dish is safe. Server completely unaware what the term GF or condition celiac even meant, unable to describe if they can take precautions for patrons with allergy. Brought my omelet out with a bread roll on the plate. Had to send it back. Server laughed when he brought out my dish for the second time saying "I almost forgot and put bread on it again!" Not safe for celiacs. Won't return. Won't ever risk going here again.
520 Tampa Street, Tampa, FL 33602
Had "The Works Omlete". It was good and i feel ok. Waitress seemed concerned when i mentioned gluten allergy. She dis write it in red in my ticket.
9600 Main Street, Suite S, Fairfax, VA 22031
The company that runs first watch will not provide gluten information at the restaurant. You have to look at their website to know what can be made gluten-free. This is a change in corporate policy (not this restaurant location's fault) and is moving backward from where the rest of the world is going.
9233 Floer Dr., West Chester, OH 45069
I enjoy coming to First Watch when I come to Cincy for work and have not been disappointed. The Market Hash is phenomenal.
20424 Route 19, Suite 420, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
Portions are entirely too small for what you pay for. Service wasn't that great either. Will not be back.
3402 Technological Avenue, Orlando, FL 32817
This is the first restaurant we went to after finding out my husband had celiac and we were very nervous. The server walked us through our options, which were plentiful, and was so very helpful. We are now regulars there and love it. hopefully they'll put together a gluten-free menu to make the experience easier for others.
520 Tampa Street, Tampa, FL 33602
Should not be listed on this GF site. There are NO GF pancakes no dedicated area.

ok. there still seems to be some debate out there on weather the flash tube was a Heiland, or a MPP. this thread will be dedicated to putting an end to the debate.
this is a photo comarison ive made of why I beleave the MPP to be correct. ive numbered the key things that in my mind show that its a mpp. #1 is the hole from the rivet that holds the nameplate Microflash on #2 i beleave you can faintly see the top of the E on the flash. and #3 is another larger hole thats on an MPP. the B on the top of the larger hole is just to faint for me to claim you can see it.
i dont own a heiland so i cant do comparison shots of one of those. PLZ FEEL FREE TO ADD SOME!!!!! but Every Heiland ive come across has the wrong hole configuration or is missing the name plaque rivet holes. pluss theres the fact that the name Heiland is streached across every flash ive seen and not in one ESB shot have i seen this name on the flash.
so feel free to post your opinions on the flash you perfer & why here. plz provide photo evidence if you can

New Delhi, INDIA to Houston, TX, USA
October 10, 2006, 20:00
As the taxi negotiated through the traffic-laden streets of New Delhi in the shroud of night, I glanced at the blurred, nebulous strings of light from passing cars and motorcycles, and I realized how comparatively fast my world tour had gone by. When I left Houston 64 days earlier, the green leaves of summer outside my window were in their prime. Now the harvesting season of fall had splashed those trees with vibrant colors of scarlet, orange, and amber.
The trans-Atlantic flight from New Delhi to Newark, NJ (outside New York City) took 15 hours
After 25,000 miles (40,000 km) in two months, I finally heard a familiar greeting once again, <B>"Welcome to the United States of America."</B> Relief and fatigue gripped me. Having flown on eight different airlines through nine countries, I had been welcomed in many different ways onboard, from flight attendants' bowing in Japan and China to airline personnel clasping their hands in prayer in India. Such interesting, striking cultural contrasts only enticed me to keep moving forward throughout my odyssey -- to acquire new knowledge about humanity and to experience different ways of living and thinking.
I did gain a lot of things on this trip, from a brand new ultra-portable Japanese computer to a new Italian suit. But most importantly, I gained an experience to reunite with dear, old friends and to make new, good friends; to witness three weddings in all their colorful pageantries and local traditions; to admire the vast, changing landscapes across Asia and Europe; to touch history in its diverse, regional glories; and to understand about our existence and struggle together on this small round planet
In retrospect, I have spent the last year, from October 13, 2005 to October 11, 2006, visiting sixteen nations and two Special Adminstrative Regions (Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Japan, China, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, New Zealand, Tahiti, Mongolia, Russia, Italy, France, Spain, India, Hong Kong, and Macau). It has been a very special year of travel for me, and I hope next year will not pale in comparison. I would now like to share my most memorable pictures of the last year of travel on this blue planet we call home.
All the entries have been completed. Please enjoy them and feel free to share any thoughts that may come across your mind, as I am looking forward to getting feedback from any viewer. Until our paths cross on the next odyssey...

Why is it that many drivers believe they own the road when many have to share it.
Surely you have seen, experienced those drivers who take over the whole road expecting others to get out of their way? Right?
This inconsiderate drivers cause much potential harm and eventually there will be that time when and they will immediately claim that they are blameless to avoid insurance issues, DMV issues, and put on airs attempting to down play their involvement.
How crass as they step out in their expensive digs to claim someone else's fault!
Have you ever gone by a school on a very narrow street where all these drivers show up twice daily?
Oh my gosh!!!
They totally want to be first in all lanes, events no matter what. No manners, no civility, no social consideration, just pushiness, total crassness, total lack of mental presence to all the is happening so they can be first!
They often drive those giant tank like cars which only adds to the driving problematic experience in and around all the youthful students who are there.
Me first!! Me Me Me Me!!!!
What a total waste of gas, time, human experience these drivers create.
How's your driving??

PPP: Obama leads by 5 in Ohio, 50/45 …
posted at 12:41 pm on October 31, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
No wonder David Axelrod thinks that Barack Obama can win Ohio without winning independents. According to the latest Buckeye State poll from PPP, they only need an extra five points from non-Democrats to get a majority:
A new Public Policy Polling survey in Ohio, conducted on behalf of Health Care for America Now, finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 50-45.
Oh, let's just skip the rest of the preliminaries and go right to the sample. The D/R/I on this poll is a ridiculous 45/36/19 that assumes Democrats will add six points to their 2008 turnout while independents largely stay home. In 2008, recall, the exit polls showed the electorate at 39/31/30, and the 2010 midterm put it at 36/37/28. Has anyone produced any evidence of such a wave of Democratic enthusiasm? Even the CBS/NYT/Q-poll today showed GOP enthusiasm leading by 14 in Ohio, 57/43.
PPP also is one of the few polls to show independents not breaking significantly to Romney. Instead, PPP has them both tied at 45% with six days left to go. The 10% undecided in this case would probably have to break toward the challenger, since Obama's underwater with independents on favorability (46/48) and especially on job approval (42/50).
This poll is good for a laugh, but that's about it.
