Q: Can you give me tips on how I can eat safely at barbecues?
A: Summer is a great time for eating and socializing outdoors, and there are plenty of menu options for those with celiac disease. Here are some tips for a stress- and gluten-free barbecue season:
Planning – Call ahead to find out what's on the menu. It's often possible for items to be prepared without sauces, marinades or other unsafe ingredients or for a gluten-free sauce to be substituted. If there is no opportunity to determine in advance what's being served, arrive early to speak with the host and check how items are being prepared.
At the event – If a marinade or sauce for the main protein food contains gluten, ask to have it left off your portion before grilling. Be sure to also check hamburger ingredients for added fillers, as these often contain gluten. Clean the grill where the gluten-free items are being made or have the items cooked on a piece of foil.
Request that croutons be left off the salad or keep a serving of salad to the side before the croutons and dressing are added. Check the dressing ingredients: if it's off-limits, oil and vinegar (except malt vinegar) or oil and lemon are easy substitutes.
You can help – If it's easier for the host, bring your own gluten-free beef, salmon or chicken burger or hot dogs (e.g. Freybe) and gluten-free buns (e.g. El Peto, Glutino, Kinnikinnick). Offer to bring items such as a salad (e.g. green, gluten-free pasta, potato, coleslaw or quinoa), a vegetable tray with gluten-free dip, hummus and gluten-free crackers (e.g. Blue Diamond Nut Thins, Glutino Multigrain Crackers, Mary's Gone Crackers), or a fruit tray or fruit salad. This way if there are no gluten-free items at the event, at least there will be something for you to eat.
Food Item:
- Meat, poultry or fish
What to Watch For:
Marinades may contain gluten. Burgers may contain fillers (wheat flour, wheat starch, bread crumbs) or seasonings with wheat flour, wheat starch or hydrolyzed wheat protein.
- Salad
What to Watch For:
Croutons and salad dressing. Latter may contain malt vinegar, seasonings with wheat flour, wheat starch or hydrolyzed wheat protein, or soy sauce with wheat.
- Condiments
What to Watch For:
Ketchup, relish, mayonnaise and mustard are usually gluten-free. Some specialty mustards may contain wheat flour.
- Chips
What to Watch For:
Some potato and taco chips have seasonings with wheat flour, wheat starch or hydrolyzed wheat protein. Some brands of plain potato chips (e.g. Pringles) have added wheat flour.

I am new to beekeeping and have been lurking here for a short time and found many great answers. I am currently building my first TB with Eastern Aromatic cedar. I have a couple of questions.
1. Will the cedar smell deter or otherwise affect the health of the colony?
2. I used wood glue (tightbond III) to glue up my panels for the sides/ends. Any issue with this?
Also i have read varying opinions on using a follower in the hive to reduce/expand the hive. Is it recommended to use this and if so where do i place it for the initial start up, ie; how much space to begin with a 3# package. (the TB hive will be approx 42" long)
This be be the only hive and I expect to have bees delivered (by Wolf Creek) in March.
I am currently reading several books (Les Crowder/Heather Harrell-Top Bar Beekeeping and Wyatt Mangum's-Top Bar Beekeeping:Wisdom and Pleasure) and Dr Mangum does not use wood glue but only nails (stating that in the event he must take apart the hive later)
Thank you all in advance and i am looking forward to organic honey......perhaps Spring 2014.

Hey everyone,
So I've been wondering why in the heck I haven't posted this thread here in my own backyard seeing as how I've been posting it EVERYWHERE else. My apologies, I feel bad for not doing this sooner.
Anyway, some of you may already know that I've been working on this project (which partly explains why I've been so crazy busy these last 8 months), but for those of you who don't, sit back grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.
I've long been aspiring to build a GM (cause I just love that costume) and after a short stint with sculpting Mando/Boba Fett armor, I feel comfortable enough to move forward with this project.
I've LONG looked at doing this costume, but until recently have felt confident in attempting a complete scratch sculpt/build of the armor...I've attempted, to the best of my abilities, to stay as true as possible to the screen caps while balancing a real world feel/practicality to the look of the armor. As we all know in the clone world, that's a difficult thing to do. Here's a look at the 360 turnaround and a few others for reference for those of you not familiar with this costume
First up were the shins:
I've sculpted these with my own body style in mind while trying to stay true to the original movie stills as much as possible (cause I'm anal like that ) I cut these out and taped them together to try them on...granted these are not KC boots that they're sitting on so keep that in mind (I'll be getting a set soon to put them on to see where they're at), but so far I'm VERY pleased with the results and the look.
This set is pre assembled to my foot as a seamless cut cause I wanted to see how they look slipped on like a sock. These have quite a bit more of a slender/curved look which was what I was shooting for. The first pics you'll see are of the first attempt at a narrow set. I've also sculpted a wider set per the recommendation of others over on CT
So without boring you any further, please take a look at the pics below
Pics of the narrow set
Here's some pics of the wide set (please ignore the chicken legs :P)

A totalitarian regime can persist for many reasons: widespread timidity, complacency, political expediency, fear, and so on. The same dynamics can enliven a dysfunctional family. Thereby hangs the politico-philosophical comedy Tango, by Polish dramatist Slawomir Mrozek, its mordant observations no less biting now than they were a half-century ago.
Staged by the Brown University/Trinity Rep MFA theater programs, and directed by Shana Gozansky, performances are in the Pell Chafee Performance Center through May 13.
A family of erstwhile revolutionaries, now mere counterculture Bohemians, have to contend with one of their number coming into power. The son of the family, Arthur (Will Austin), who was raised by this free living, free loving gaggle of misfits, realizes that he has the power to make weak-willed others do his bidding. He wants them to comply with rules — his rules — rather than rattle around in purposeless anarchy. Kind of like some populations follow strong-minded rulers.
The result is not just absurdist chaos hitherto unknown to this passive, nonaggressive mini-society, but also head-spinning changes in direction as their new leader casts about for schemes to make his authority work. Taking this all in stride, for the most part, are four family members and two integral outsiders. There are the father, Stomil (Tommy Dickie), and Uncle Eugene (Ricky Oliver), equally ineffectual men, and Arthur's mother, Eleonora (Ruth Coughlin), and grandma, Eugenia (Mary C. Davis), equally dotty women. Then there is lovely love interest Ala (Alexandra Lawrence) and a potentially sinister everyman, Eddie (Charlie Thurston), a thoughtless prole who gets along by going along when requested, whether it is as a gigolo or a thug.
Stagnation is part of what Arthur is working to repair. A grandfather has been dead for 10 years, yet his empty coffin is still part of the furniture of the room where all this takes place; Arthur puts grandma into this penalty box to "contemplate eternity" when she misbehaves.
We learn Arthur is a student when he mentions he's supposed to be studying for an exam. As such, he cycles through various modes of philosophical thought and political theory as the play goes on. Realism or idealism? Personal freedom or social control? Something's gotta work.
Tango was published in 1958 under Stalinist communist rule in Poland, and much of what is made fun of is hedonistic excess of the sort that would take place shortly in the streets of Paris and San Francisco in the '60s. Arthur's father waxes nostalgic over such indulgences as public sex (whether at the opera or a museum, he and his wife recall differently), and he proudly notes that they fought for the right to not give bus seats to the elderly. Ah, anarchy. "The greater the revolution, the greater the reconstruction," his father says.
Arthur, on the other hand, says he wants "world order — that and the right to rebel," to cover the bases. "Abnormality is the new normal," he complains to his parents, and when they are sympathetic, their tolerance frustrates him. Since he can't find meaning, he knows he has to make meaning. To that purpose, he decides he should marry Ala, though she is reluctant to accept, since his passion is coming from his brain rather than a more appropriate organ.

As you may have read in this space last week, my decades-long partner in crime, Chip Young, has left the column for a gig at golocalprov.com. So first, a word about the new "Cool, Cool World."
That the writing in most publications hews to a sixth-grade reading level is an economic fact of life. But one of the things I have always appreciated about working for the Phoenix organization is that they have allowed the "Cool, Cool World" to indulge in a prose style that would be verboten in most weeklies and nearly all daily papers. This has been an opportunity for me to seek my "inner Sidney."
That, of course, is an allusion to the master (and, not coincidentally, Rhode Island native) writer, S.J. Perelman. So, as you peruse the new "Cool, Cool World," you may notice that, while the structure, subject matter, and tone will remain largely unchanged, the style might seem a bit more florid. That's just the way I roll.
The New York Times Magazine has undergone a series of changes, of late. Gone, for instance, are the frequently contentious but usually entertaining (and revealing) interrogations conducted by Deborah Solomon (known as "Questions for _______" whomever the interrogee might be), replaced by a column remarkably similar called "Talk" with the interview conducted by Andrew Goldman.
There are new titles — "Reply All" for the Letters section — and it appears that there's a new "Ethicist" in town, Ariel Kaminer. But to my (and I'm sure many others') relief, there are no apparent changes to the puzzles section edited by the great Will Shortz. Some things are sacred, after all.
There was a rather interesting essay by Times ramrod, Bill Keller, in last week's magazine in which he discusses the problem of media "aggregation." As traditional means of communication continue to change and the old economic paradigm no longer holds, one of the more alarming trends is fewer and fewer actual reporters doing journalism in the old-fashioned way. It's a bloggers/talk radio/"aggregators" world with less and less real reporting.
"We have bestowed our highest honor — market valuation — not on those who labor over the making of original journalism but on aggregation," is how Keller puts it. He does however point out that one of the canniest and most successful of the aggregators, Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post, seems to have come to "an epiphany" and "realized that if everybody is an aggregator, nobody will be left to make the real stuff to aggregate."
Left unsaid is not just what this implies for the future of "the media" but for the future of our democratic republic. And you better believe that this is dead serious stuff.
It's not exactly a promising prospect that the first "Cool, Cool World" column that I'm penning on my own features an embarrassing correction concerning something in last week's column. But here goes: Reza Clifton, the talented young artistic director at the new Roots Café in downtown Providence is not the daughter of Ed and Audrey Clifton. She's their niece. She is, in fact, the daughter of Ed's brother Bill Clifton and Rogeriee Thompson. (I briefly met Ed and Audrey's son who is — big shock here — a very personable and bright young man who is an airplane pilot.)

Fusion-IO Drops 12%: Q2 Rev View Misses by a Mile, CFO Leaving
Shares of enterprise storage acceleration technology vendor Fusion-IO (FIO) are down $1.57, or almost 12%, at $11.45, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue and a net loss were both better than analysts were expecting, but offered a much-lower-than-expected revenue forecast for this quarter, and said its CFO and head of sales will both be leaving the company.
Revenue in the three months ended in September fell 27%, year over year, to $86.3 million, yielding a net loss of 7 cents a share.
Analyst had been modeling $85 million and a 10-cent net loss.
CEO Shane Robison remarked, "We have made progress in the last several months on key technology and strategic initiatives that we believe sharpen our execution and create a strong foundation for future growth."
He added, "The powerful combination of our application-centric architecture, robust product roadmap, and strengthening ecosystem of partners creates significant opportunity for Fusion-io in an expanding market for accelerating information with flash memory solutions."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue up just slightly from last quarter's result, which would be well below the average $114 million estimate of analysts.
Two prominent executives are stepping down, Fusion-IO said:
Dennis Wolf, chief financial officer and executive vice president, will be leaving after a period of transition to pursue an opportunity at a private company. A search for his replacement is underway. In addition, James Dawson, chief sales officer and executive vice president, is retiring from the company. His replacement is expected to be announced shortly.
Fusion will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.

Doing a chicken dish but have a question .....
I've got my two sister-in-laws staying on Tuesday (they're 13 and 16) and a friend of mine made chicken breasts in a chilli and tarragon cream sauce. It tasted fantastic when he did a dinner party. I'm a bit worried about the combination of chilli and tarragon, he pulled it off but I don't know if I will, has anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Doing a chicken dish but have a question .....
Personally, if I'm making something for guests and I want to be sure it turns out ok, I'd have a quick practice in advance.
The only thing I'm aware off is needing to be careful with tarragon, as it can be very strong and possibly overpowering - but if you more or less follow the recipe and taste it as you are cooking, there's no reason why it wouldn't work. I suppose the same could be said about chilli - and whether you decide to leave the seeds out or put them in - again, I'd be tasting as I'm cooking - although be careful adding chilli - I tend not to notice it gradually increasing in heat (and I like things very hot anyway), so I can be merrily eating away whilst other diners are reaching for the water jug . Now I call my partner in to taste check as well.
It certainly sounds like an interesting recipe - can you post it?
Otherwise, if it worked for your friend, then ask him for his tricks

Re: Doing a chicken dish but have a question .....
yep, the recipe is: Place 4 skinned and boned chicken breasts in a casserole dish and pour in 1 pint of homemade chicken or vegetable stock. (Its better with chicken stock, so my friend says) then add a finely sliced red chilli without the seeds. Cover with lid or foil and cook on 180 deg for about 35 minutes. This basically poaches the chicken. Check the chicken is cooked through and strain off the stock into a saucepan. Pop the chicken back in the oven or under the grill to quickley brown off without drying out.
Add 150ml white wine to the stock and then reduce by half. Add about 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon or 3 tsp of fresh tarragon. It'll start to look quite colourful because of the red strips of chilli and green tarragon leaves.
Bring to the boil and then simmer for a few minutes. Now add 1/2 pint of fresh double cream or cream fraiche and warm through. Taste and seaon if needed. Pour over chicken breasts and serve.
I'm serving it with asparagus spears and saute new potatoes, if it works out alright.

Re: Doing a chicken dish but have a question .....
Here's a great recipe of chicken cube, I just translated it into English:
prepare:chicken breast(300g) peanut(50g) dried chilli(20g) farina(25g) bree(20g) peanut oil(80g)
Cut the chicken breast into cubes of 1or2cm square, add soy-sauce,yellow wine,farina and salt to season it. Mix some soy sauce,sugar,vinegar,bree and farina to make the sauce. Fry the peanuts until they'r crisp.Fry the chopped chilli until dark in another pan with oil,then stir-fry the chicken breast cubes in the pan, put some garlic and ginger and shallot in it. When the chicken cubes are cooked, add the premade sauce into it, stir, add the fried peanuts and stir a little bit. Done! Enjoy it with chopsticks. Lovely!
It's really nice. Have a try!

For them that might be true - when they advocate giving black students extra points in college admissions solely based on their skin color I have no other way to describe that than "racist." If you want to base it on economic circumstances I think you can make a case for that, but situations in which you award people based solely on their skin color and nothing else is now fully the domain of organizations like the NAACP and the democratic party. The problem really is the older generations - people like Al Sharpton don't know how to survive without racism while my generation no longer really cares that much about it. I'm not saying it isn't there - just wildly overstated by those who want to exploit it.
Here's a shocker for you - I'm a republican and I'm not a racist...99% of us aren't either. Most democrats would like to believe that's the case either because its what they've been told their whole life or it serves their interest; but its just not true. I don't oppose 'social justice' programs because I have a racist vendetta against the black community; I oppose them because I think its dangerous to create an entire class of people who are entirely dependent on government for their livelihood. I think the country is better off as a whole when people are in control of their own destinies and lives, self-reliant and free from government telling them how to live or what to think.
So the philosophical argument I make is essentially "give a man a fish, he eats for a day....teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." Government is the one that gives the handout, makes the individual owe something to the government and thus wields power over that person in a viscous cycle (the democratic party is doing this with the black community - lets call that a form of slavery). As a republican I advocate personal responsibility - teaching people to rely on themselves - not government programs...that's REAL freedom...but democrats seem to be afraid of this idea, probably because it undermines their whole claim to power.

Inconvenient Truth Meetings?
Original post made by Robyn, College Terrace, on Jul 29, 2006
There are so many things we can do to reduce our CO2 emissions, large and small, but is it hard to be good even we can sing Al's song.
I believe it would help if people in the community met once a month to support and encourage one another in finding do-able activities that would reduce our CO2 emissions. I'm afraid that the farther we get from the movie theater, the farther away these concerns become. Ongoing meetings would keep us actively involved in working on solutions.
a resident of Charleston Meadows
on Jul 30, 2006 at 2:24 pm
I don't know that we need to hold meetings -- there's a fairly obvious list of things most of us can do, in no particular order:
* Commuting
-- switch to walking or bicycling
-- carpool
-- use mass transit (Caltrain, VTA, SamTrans)
-- move to be closer to your job
-- switch jobs to so that you work closer to home
* Purchases
-- buy food grown nearby
-- eat lower on the food chain
-- buy food shipped via surface shipment instead of by air
-- do your errands on foot or by bicycle
-- when buying appliances and cars, go for the most
energy-efficient option available
-- buy products with as little packaging as possible
* Home
-- add insulation if possible
-- shut off your air conditioner -- Look for other ways to cool off
on hot days, such as going for a walk at the Palo Alto baylands
where the frigid water cools the air.
-- switch to more efficient appliances and light bulbs
-- subsidize renewable energy by signing up for Palo Alto Green
-- install a solar hot water heater if you don't already have one
-- sell unwanted items on ebay
-- recycle when possible
* At work
-- Look for ways to reduce energy consumption in the processes you
use at work (these will often save money)
-- when designing equipment, make low energy consumption a priority
-- Consider energy consumption when making design decisions for
* When you really must consume
-- pay others to reduce emissions via a credit trading system
Eg: Green Tags or equivalent

Thanks for a great list David. Though some items weren't obvious to me - which is why I see value in community meetings. When people get together and share new ideas, people feel encouraged to use them.
You are enlightened, but even in Palo Alto, not everyone is. Compare the near empty sidewalks and bikelanes to the automobile crowded streets and parking lots. There are plenty of people who struggle with consumerism, I think they would be inspired and see simple, do-able ways to make changes if they had a chance to meet with people like you in an unjudging, proactive atmosphere.

Sign in for Palo Alto Green:

Ask for a yard sign to show your support and encourage people to follow your example:

If you can, walk/bike to the grocery store. I you have to take the car to the mall/downtown, park there and then walk to all the stores you have to go to. You can walk from downtown to the Stanford Shopping Center in 10 minutes and driving would take about the same time. Same for Santana Row / Valley Fair. Walk, walk, walk. It's good for you and the environment, so it's good for everyone.
Many people use a treadmill at home, but think you could get the same amount of exercise simply walking to a store.
Try to limit the use of AC (and avoid it altogether if you can).

Go to Acterra, and see if there is still time to sign up for their Be the Change environmental leadership training program which starts again in September. I took the class last year, and in addition to having a fabulous time one Friday a month, learned more than I could have imagined.
By the way, if you know anyone who is going to have their house demolished (sigh!), you might try to suggest to them that they have the materials salvaged rather than just bulldozed. Salvage is a thing of beauty!

I love Robyn's suggestion; to my mind, there's incredible value to creating a supportive network when it comes to making any sort of change, and the fact that 'going green' is such a socially-conscious decision makes the recommendation of groups that much more reasonable. I think it would be great to start making these sorts of connections.
You might want to check out this site as an example of one Palo Alto group that's working on environmentalism. I'm not familiar with them myself, but I intend to find out more. I'm sure there must be other resources, as well . . . Suggestions?

Number of flu cases rises in Montana
MISSOULA, Mont. - The number of confirmed and suspected flu cases is now around 1,600 people in Montana.
Close to 60 people have gone to the hospital and one woman in Eastern Montana has died.
The flu season came early to hospitals in Western Montana. One theory for the hard-hitting outbreak is that last year was a mild flu season and immunities may not be as strong this year.
First and foremost, doctors are urging everyone older than 6 months to get vaccinated.
Dr. David Lechner, the President of the Community Physicians Group, tells NBC Montana, "Really, there's very few people who should not get an immunization going forward. It's a safe vaccine."
More and more flu patients are filling up emergency room beds and we may not have seen the worst of it yet.
Lechner adds, "Montana is behind the rest of the country when it comes to hitting the peaks. We don't know if we have seen the peak yet or not, until we can look back and see that we are having fewer cases. We are having people coming into the hospital. There are hopitalizations occuring, there are ER visits occuring."
If you have questions, doctors want you to call the 24-hour nursing hotline. The phone number is (406) 327-4770.
"They can run their symptoms by to see if this is the true flu. A lot of people mistake what the flu is. They think if they have diarrhea and vomiting they have the flu. Well, this is influenza. It is a very specific respiratory disease," Lechner explains.
Also, if you think you have the flu, doctors want you to stay at home and drink plenty of fluids.

Curious why so many seem to despise the TP? I'd also like to know how much the haters know about the TP, doctrine/manifesto, secret hand-shake, elected leaders, etc.Oct 21, 2013 at 3:17 pm #2036111
Pretty simple for me.
I agree with their core principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and somewhat with free market economics.
The first two principles speak for themselves but free market economics is not so simple in my opinion. In a true capitalist society, if a bank used poor judgment and gave loans to anyone who had a pulse who walked through their doors, this behavior would be corrected when/if people defaulted on their loans. Unfortunately we don't allow capitalism to work the way it should and bail out too large to fail banks and insurance companies when they follow poor business practices. It's fair to say that many of these banks were pressured to make many of these mortgages available to undeserving customers so this is admittedly oversimplified but you get my point. Bottom line to me, if your service is so critical to the economic survival of the U.S. that a tax payer bailout may become necessary, then more government regulation and oversight is necessary. If your business is one that can simply fall to the wayside if it fails, then leave it alone for the most part (OSHA, food inspections, etc notwithstanding).
In spite of this, I was on board with their platform and subscribed to their newsletter (which I still receive) but they quickly lost my support for a few reasons:
1) They take Taxed Enough Already too seriously. There are three ways to earn more than you spend (in my opinion): lower spending, raise tax revenue, and stimulate the economy therefore raising tax revenue without raising the tax rate. Without going too far into my personal economic theory, all three have their limits and there are times where taxes need to be raised. Obviously if you go too far with raising taxes, you can kill jobs and create a financial burden on the average citizen but there are times when it's appropriate. I think their "never ever ever raise taxes" mantra is naive and a recipe for disaster.
2) They started venturing outside the scope of their charter. Once I started receiving emails from them in opposition to gay marriage, I completely gave up on them. The economy is enough to keep them busy for several generations; there's absolutely no reason for them to take on outside issues like this and alienate people from what they are trying to accomplish. I personally believe that gay marriage is guaranteed under the 14th Amendment and feel that they are trying to apply the constitution as they find convenient.
There's more than that for me but these are the major points.
Edit to add: I pondered the other day that admitting that you used to support the Tea Party is like admitting that you've been to a Nickleback concert. You permanently lose street cred after that.Oct 21, 2013 at 3:19 pm #2036113
There's the approximately 30 TP representatives that want to shut down the government and not raise the debt limit that would cause even more chaos. That's some reason to hate them.
If a group of Democrats shut down the government and didn't raise the debt limit unless the Republicans agreed to a bunch of gun regulations (or choose some other liberal policy) I'de hate them too.
In recent elections, some TP people won their primary but couldn't get elected so their Democrat opponent won. If a more moderate Republican ran, they would have won. This effect may be stronger in the next election, like it's possible the Democrats could win the House. In this case, I'm going to start loving the Teap Party : )Oct 21, 2013 at 11:00 pm #2036289

The Tea Party started as a somewhat non partisan or libertarian movement opposed to taxation and overspending.
It was hijacked by neoconservatives, right wing Christians, and racists. This is why many libertarians, Ron Paul for example, avoid associating themselves with the Tea Party. They may agree with the founding principles but the idiots that the movement attracts have ruined it.
And then neoconservative, statist republicans used the tea party as a launching point for their campaign. These people completely go against the founding principles of the tea party but the party is already hijacked, so whatever I guess…
Of course there are plenty of videos of a guy walking around looking for stupid people to interview and ask tough questions and filtering out anyone who answers intelligently.Oct 22, 2013 at 5:52 am #2036324

"People hate the tea party because they are hypocrites, racist, and basically stupid".
Lots of good information. Didn't know about the racism.
Didn't the TP support Allen West? …or Cruz

Fred – redemption possibility? – not so clear : )Oct 22, 2013 at 10:05 am #2036410
"Where's the racism? Nobody want this one?"
Are there racists in the Tea Party? Yes. There are also racists among the Democrats, Whig Party, Communist Party, Dance Party, NFL, Elk Snort Wyoming Chapter of the Red Hat Society (Marge is as bigoted as they come), and I heard that the guy who works at that gas station down yonder really really hates "them thar foreigners."
Are they officially bigoted against homosexuals? Yes based on emails I've received from them. I suspect I've deleted all of them but I'll try to find one that I can copy and paste here later.Oct 22, 2013 at 10:20 am #2036418
People here have thrown racism out on the table or agreed with it. I find it a little hard to believe that a grassroots organization, with no structure, and a few core objectives, could all the sudden be the next generation of mouth breathing klansmen.Oct 22, 2013 at 10:30 am #2036423
Ok… I'll be less subtle this time.
The Tea Party is not racist as an organization. It is a large organization so not surprisingly, there are racists within the party. Anti-Tea Party zealots, like the guy who videotaped that psycho in the video linked above, will cherry pick the crazies from the Tea Party and present them to the world as being representative of the entire party.
Bigoted as an organization against homosexuals? Yes. Racist? Not that I've seen other than some bad apples from within their membership.Oct 22, 2013 at 12:06 pm #2036456
Sorry Ian as I hadn't seen your last post when I entered mine. I get the bad apple part. I don't see bigoted actions. I see people that don't believe certain issues fall under the jurisdiction of the fed, and are thus labeled non caring a-holz. I've been told that myself.Oct 22, 2013 at 1:00 pm #2036478

"And another thing…beyond Grayson and his cross, there's Democrat Senator Harry Reid refering to Barack Obama as light-skinned and not speaking in "Negro" dialect. And Democrat Vice President Joe Biden refering to Barack Obama as "clean and articulate." Where oh where is the outrage from NAACP, National Urban League, Congressional Black Caucus, Rev's Jackson or Sharpton? Oops, I forgot — white liberal progressives have a get out of jail free card. It's just tragic that these traitors are selling the black community out to the party of slavery, Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, literacy tests, poll tax, and modern day economic servitude. And they call me Uncle Tom?"–

Rep. Alan Grayson's use of burning cross imagery in his recent fundraising email. Maybe he ought to crack open a history book, in between histrionics, to learn it was his party who created the KKK.

The Tea Party people I know say some pretty extreme things, though they are not listed on the TP platform. They vote with the GOP.
Here is the local Republican Platform with some outtakes.
2.1 Complete control of public education should be at the local level through elected school boards.
2.3 State Education funding should not be garnered from property taxes, but by revenue generated from state lands and assets – such as natural resource income.
3.4 We oppose lifestyle orientation and sensitivity training in our schools.
4.2 We categorically reject the implementation of government mandated, socialized healthcare in any form. (LIke Medicare ?).
6.5 We believe that court cases involving public lands, environmental policy enforcement and water rights conflicts should only be heard in the local jurisdiction where such public land is situated.
6.6 We support a policy of reduction of federal and state holdings of lands and assets, and oppose the establishment of United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserves on American soil, Agenda 21, the Yukon to Yellowstone buffer zones, or any other international or domestic plan designed or leading to the impairing of private property rights or the environmentally destructive under utilization of public lands. (Environmentally destructive under utilization?)
6.9 We question the accuracy of the information used to suggest man-made Climate Change and reject any and all attempts to use this as an excuse to levy taxes or regulate business through a State or Federal program, including "Cap and Trade".
6.10 We are opposed to the Washington Wolf Plan. Washington should have no wolves and wolves should not be listed as a state endangered species.
7.6 –Children born in the United States to persons who illegally enter or reside in the United States should not be granted the rights, benefits and privileges of citizenship.Oct 22, 2013 at 3:08 pm #2036565
"Shutdown Is "A Trojan Horse" – Get Ready For Major Emp Attack On American Soil & Much Worse – The Perfect Storm Is Here
From putting together the pieces, the primary purpose of the shutdown is to drop U.S. Defenses to invasion from outside forces. That can be easily substantiated by examining what services are stopped which should never…ever be stopped as they protect the United States from advanced forces as well as tracking major troop movements.

Some had called for examples of tea party racism. I pointed some out.
Where did I ever say that racism only only exists in the TP. I did not.
I believe also that you are articulate enough to know that the Democratic and Republican parties of 1865 has little resemblance to their modern counterparts. Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and even Eisenhower would likely be considered democrats by todays standards. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who started the klan was a confederate officer who murdered surrendering black troops at Ft. Pillow during the CW, but I'm sure you knew that.

St. Louis – For the first time since Mar. 18, the Saint Louis University Billikens got back on the court in competitive action.
While the absences of head coach Rick Majerus and star guard Kwamain Mitchell were visibly apparent, the squad didn't seem to be affected from the tip. Junior forward Dwayne Evans stepped up big with 21 points and eight rebounds to lead the Bills to a 76-59 victory in their home opener for the 2012-13 season over a tough USC-Upstate bunch.
The Billikens couldn't seem to get defensive stops early as Upstate hit on six of its first nine attempts from the field in building a 12-10 lead in the early going.
A quick 11-1 run, capped by an acrobatic layup from Jordair Jett, opened up a sizeable lead for SLU, as it pulled ahead 21-13.
Hot shooting by both teams continued into the half as SLU carried a 36-28 advantage into the locker room.
To begin the second 20 minutes, it was much more of the same. Both teams found their range out of the break and played back-and-forth basketball before Upstate went on a 7-0 burst to close the game within two with 13:12 to go.
The turning point in the game was arguably occurred with 8:54 left in the contest. With SLU clinging to a 54-51 lead, the Billikens went on a 13-2 run over the next 4:21 to put the game out of reach for good against an intense Spartans ballclub.
SLU punctuated the contest with eight more points before a Fred Miller three-pointer at the buzzer settled the final score.
Miller, along with Torrey Craig and Ty Greene were in double-figures for the Spartans.
The Billikens' next game is Wednesday, November 14 at home against Santa Clara. The tip is 7 P.M. (CT) and televised on Fox Sports Midwest.


text: I have been having a recurring CEL due to a Evap error code. I just wanted to post this so if anyone else experiences this it might save you some time troubleshooting your truck. Keep in mind this is all from the same Evap error code every time. Also keep in mind this truck only has 32,000 miles and is well maintained. I first bought a new OEM gas cap from the dealer- Did not fix CEL returned after about 7-10 days Took to dealer, they replaced a fuel vent valve (or something similar)-Did not fix, CEL returned after about 7-10 days Returned to dealer, they replaced a fuel sensor switch(something to that effect)-Did not fix, CEL returned after 7-10 days Returned to dealer, they said it was the gas cap. I explained I had already bought a OEM cap from them, they still replaced it with another one.-Did not fix, CEL returned about 7-10 days Returned to dealer about 2-3 weeks after CEL had come on and they said they couldn't get a reading because it had been on for so long. They cleared the code and said come back as soon as it comes back on. Went to dealer within hours of CEL coming on, they tried to say it was the gas cap, again... cleared code and sent me home. 2 days later CEL came back on. I emailed Chevy service directly and got a district service manager involved. I took my truck in and this time they decided to pull the gas tank, said there was something partially clogging the sending unit. They have kept it overnight and are supposed to be testing it this morning. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to deal with this issue. Hopefully this will help you if you start to experience the same problems. Overall if I hadn't of complained to Chevy directly I don't think this particular dealership would have ever put any effort into fixing my truck. When they finally decided that they would have to do some real work on it, (not just run the code, and clear it) they didn't want to give me a loaner car, and actually complained about not having one left if they gave me one. I explained to them that the district manager had said they would give me one, they finally let me take it. Lastly, the district service manager told me that he couldn't guarantee that the technicians that were working on my truck were actually certified techs... I thought that was a prerequisite to work at a dealership?

Practicum Clinical Experience
The HDC Program perceives the practicum and internship experience to be on a continuum similar to the model described by Boylan, Malloy, and Scott (1988).
At the pre-practicum end of the continuum, the student should appropriately expect more instructional and active participation with the professor. Basic skill development, and role-playing, peer interaction, and observation activities in a counseling lab setting will be emphasized. In the practicum component, the student will function in a field site with supervision and supportive instructional functions being provided by both university faculty and field site supervisor(s). Observation of functioning professionals at the field site, co-leading counseling activities, and contact with a limited range of clients are likely activities in the initial stages of practicum. These activities are gradually expanded to include counseling/therapy with a broader range of clients and increased opportunities to expand and develop the full range of professional behaviors. At the internship end of the continuum the student is expected to be able to participate in the full range of professional activities within the field site under supervision primarily directed by approved field site personnel.
Practicum requirements are a minimum of 100 hours on-site, with a minimum of 40 hours direct service work. Direct service work must include a minimum of 15 hours of group facilitation or co-facilitation. Internship requirements are a minimum of 600 hours on site, with a minimum of 240 hours direct service work.
"Direct Service Work" is defined by CACREP standards as: "face to face interaction with clients which includes the application of counseling, consultation, or human development skills. In general, the term is used in these Standards to refer to time spent by practicum or internship students in working with clients."
Direct service work can include telephone contacts with clients for therapeutic purposes. Also included are workshop presentations to groups who are serviced by the agency.
Boylan, J. G., Malley, P. B., & Scott, J. (1988). Practicum and internship. Muncie, IN: Accelerated Development.
Goals of Practicum
Demonstrating microcounseling skills with clients in a real setting, e.g., paraphrasing, open and closed questions, reflection of feeling.
Demonstrating counseling process skills:
- Clarifying counseling/client expectations.
- Facilitating the development and incorporation of client insights and awareness.
- Managing the interview to facilitate client growth.
- Promoting client integration of cognitive, affective and behavioral domains.
- Formulating plausible hypotheses about the client's situation.
- Facilitating the resolution of client concerns.
- Ending interview effectively.
- Conducting case conferences.
- Terminating counseling relationship effectively.
- Demonstrating group counseling skills.
- Demonstrating professional identity development.
- Meeting supervisors' requirements.
- Understanding and complying with operational/agency policies and procedures.
Mandated Reporting
The Illinois Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (Ill rev.stat.ch.23) requires that all mandated reporters who have reasonable cause to believe a child known to them in their professional or official capacity may be an abused or neglected child must immediately make a report to DCFS. The DCFS 24-hour child abuse hotline number is 1-800-25ABUSE (1-800-252-2873).
Effective January 1, 2000, if you have reason to believe that an adult 60 years of age or older residing in a domestic living situation who, because of dysfunction, is unable to seek assistance for himself or herself has, within the previous 12 months, been subject to abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation, the mandated reporter shall, within 24 hours after developing such belief, report this suspicion to the Department on Aging at 1-800-252-8966 (Public Act 91-0244).

The increasing air transport demands for humanitarian support, anti-piracy patrols, drug trafficking control and other missions – combined with increasing core military operations – will generate the demand for some 2,400 multi-role airlifters during the next 30 years, valued at approximately $240 billion.
This is the outlook from Airbus Military, which presented a market review during a briefing with international journalists at the ILA Berlin Air Show.
"For today's changing world, we are seeing more emphasis on versatility and multi-role capabilities – versus mission-specific aircraft – as well as the requirement for robust and reliable systems that can operate in challenging environments," explained Domingo Urena-Raso, the CEO of Airbus Military.
In the light/medium category for air transport and surveillance, the company's forecast anticipates the need for approximately 1,250 aircraft over the next three decades. Airbus Military is successfully addressing this sector with its CN235 and C295, of which 392 have been ordered by customers worldwide – with 141 of them booked in the past 10 years for a market share of 47 percent.
The category of heavy airlifters will require approximately 800 aircraft during the coming 30 years, according to the company's outlook. Airbus Military's new A400M responds to this market segment, providing a transporter that delivers true heavy airlift capacity, along with tactical capabilities and air-to-air refuelling. Airbus Military has sold 174 A400Ms to date, representing a 33 percent market share worldwide for the last decade, and is targeting further sales of 400 aircraft.
In the aerial refuelling and multi-role tanker/transport segment, a worldwide requirement of some 350 aircraft – including the United States – is forecast for the coming 30 years. The Airbus Military A330 MRTT has become a benchmark in this category, offering a modern airframe based on Airbus' A330 jetliner with the effectiveness, flexibility and efficiency for both airlift and in-flight tanker applications. A total of 28 A330 MRTTs already have been ordered, accounting for 78 percent of the worldwide market outside the U.S. over the last 10 years.
"While the economic environment and pressures on defence budgets are creating some 'turbulence' in traditional markets, opportunities appear in emerging ones," Urena-Raso said. "Airbus Military has a goal of winning approximately 50 percent of the overall market share across the three categories covered by our forecast, as our aircraft are market leaders in their corresponding categories, and we have new products in the high-value segments."
Airbus Military's presence at the ILA Berlin Air Show includes one of its A400M development aircraft, which is on static display and participates in the flying presentation. A C295 from the Polish Air Force also is at the biennial event.

It was a really small place, but we felt instantly home and it has all thats necessary. Savina was a great host!
Savina was a very friendly host.
The room was good, typical Amsterdam style. We enjoyed the stay there.
The location was very good. It's a 20 minutes walk in the city or you can drive with the tram than you're in 10 minutes in the centre. There are some coffee shops and supermarkets in the area. We can really recommend it.
We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam! The apartment was wonderful and not far away from the city center, tram and supermarket. Highly recommended!
Savina and Gary are so nice people, very kind and helpful. Contact with them was very good, before the stay as well as during it (mail/text/call).
Thanks for the morning coffee :-)
The room is small as described but fully functional even for a longer stay. It has quite large bed, small fridge, wardrobe, WiFi, private bathroom (mirror on the wall - may be important for women).
It's on the 4rd floor so after long day of walking or bike riding the stairs may scare you, or not ;-)
It's not far from the city center so one can walk or take a tram. Or rent a bike from Savina/Gary. The big plus of renting bike from them is that you look like a local person not like a tourist (like on the regular rent-bikes).
The room was really nice and cozy! It also was very clean ! Savina made us a really lovely welcome with italian coffee and buiscuits. While sitting together she showed the city map to us and had some really nice insiders. We would love to come back to her place next time!
Valentino and Jacqui
It's been a really really good experience. The room was quite good a the bed very confortable.
It has been a very good stay!
Savina was very kind but unfortunally we only met her in our last day. When we arrived we met her husband. He was kind too and gave us the key and showed our room (it was outside their house). We was outside all day so we never talked too much with them, but when we needed they were very usefull.
The room was ok, very small but fine. If you want only a room to stay the night it was ok. You have everything you need nearby but the city center is 40/50 minutes walk
We were happily surprised by Savinas offer to take a spacious flat instead of the attic studio in the Witte de Withstraat. Everything worked well, the kitchen was clean and well stuffed. The neighbourhood Baarsjes is nice, you can buy food in a near supermarket or go to cafés and restaurants.
We would recommend Savina as a good host.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice apartment to stay with friends. Good service and host. Close to the highlights of Berlin.
Really nice flat in Mitte, very close to a station, shops, baker and some clubs (although we didn't go to them). We enjoyed our stay very much. Danke!
I stayed with five friends in this appartment. The appartment had a nice location and was very clean.
It's located nearby the centre of Berlin.
We stayed 2 nights at this nice apartment quite close to Alexander Platz. Very near to a couple of U-Bahn stations.
Clean, there were loads of towels, sleepers, shampoo and other bathroom stuff which we did not expect. Same for the kitchen, there was coffee, tea, sugar, some spices etc.. quite a nice surprise.
There is a Lidl and also a Kaiser´s supermarket around the corner.
The contact with Myra and her colleagues was fluent and they were very caring. They organized a quite late check-in without any problem and the same for the late check-out.
All in all I would definitely recommend it for a stay in Berlin.
Maybe the only minus is the building block the apartment is located in, as it´s not beautiful, let´s say, it´s an old block from a few decades ago, and the lift only goes up to the 1,3,6,9 th floors, and the aprt. is on the 5th so need to go up or downstairs a floor, which might result inconvenient for old or disabled people.
Very nice and clean apartment. Very covinient as the appartment is very close to the centre and also has an underground station just 2 minutes away.
The staff receiving is very nice and helpful.
Thank you very much for everything.
Very nice flat centrally located in Berlin. Excellent service by Great Home and Caro.
Fantastic apartment. Nice location and Myra did vey well her job and she is vey nice!! I totally recommend this apartment!
very nice apartment, great location and nice contact and organization

why would you dismiss the belt sanded ones? What is your concern? What is the issue w/ safety?
Recently ordered a couple of Polish Blanks for an AK build.
Both were heavily Belt Sanded on all the flat surfaces and the ends were visibly curved as the part was obviously not applied or removed from the Belt Sander evenly.
Measured random parts and some spots were as low as .024".
I for one would not use a Belt Sander on sheet metal. In particular on Firearm components and especially on thin Sheet Steel.
Has anyone else who bought these Blank receivers had Belt Sanded ones ?
The ones I got from Curtis, at AK Builder were perfectly clean, unsanded and pristine, as is typical of his stuff, but he ran out of stock at one point, so I ordered a couple elsewhere.
Advice/opinion please . Go ahead and Heat treat or return ? , or get a refund. Safety is paramount.
why would you dismiss the belt sanded ones? What is your concern? What is the issue w/ safety?
There are a couple of threads regarding the different polish blanks out there. We came up with at least 3 different versions being sold right now. The one with the sanded surface was deemed least desirable. They are apparently made from a different grade of steel than the others and there have been some heat treating issues with them.
Stick with the ones from AK-builder or Copes.
Thank 7.62X39 for heads up. I'll return them .
sovblocgunfan: I have concern with dimensionally challenged Steel, it's prone to failure.

Mexico shuts troubled energy firm
Mexico has closed a state-run energy distribution firm with about 40,000 employees and 25 million customers, blaming the scale of its losses.
Federal police seized the offices of Luz y Fuerza del Centro. Spending at the company was increasingly outpacing sales, according to the government.
The firm faced an "unsustainable financial situation", President Felipe Calderon said.
Mexico is trying to cut public spending to offset falling oil revenues.
The Federal Electricity Commission, a state-run utility that provides electricity across the rest of the country, is to provide services to Luz y Fuerza's customers.
Pension drain
The firm's costs between 2003 and 2008 were 433bn pesos (£20.6bn; $32.5bn) while its sales were 236bn pesos, the government said.
Mr Calderon said the utility company could not continue to be funded without increasing electricity rates or taxes.
"That would be unfair particularly when our country is going through tough economic times," he said.
However, he denied union claims that the government was going to privatise the company.
The government said Luz y Fuerza lost 32.5% of the energy that it generated or bought to distribute to its customers. It added that about half of the firm's staff costs went toward pensions for 20,000 retired workers.
A crowd of about 10,000 people gathered in Mexico City to protest about the government's intervention.

Most DevOps journeys involve several phases of maturity.

Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and write data.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Perfectly situated in the heart of Prague. Location was ideal for getting around to all of the sights, however prepare yourself for little sleep due to noisy partygoers passing in the street throughout the night.
Appartement is nice, in nice Area. Close to trambahn and wenzelsplatz. Good Restaurants around the corner . Interesting cut of the appartment. Wifi is good and fast. Only thing is getting it dark. There are some shutters or jalousies neccesary to get the rooms darker, to get some sleep in the morning. World Comeback back, thank you.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a very nice stay at Prague in the Executive Bright Appartement. It was a nice, little appartement, tidy and absolute alright for three people. The hosts gave us a lot information about the trams, exchanges, etc. which was very helpful if you stay the first time in Prague.
Very good and clean apartment!
was a really nice trip and a nice flat in the centre of prague!
was there with 3 friends and the flat was perfect.
best regards,
flo :)
Very central. A lot of traffic, but easy to get around the city by foot. Very good service at arrival at the office at Opletalova. Two rooms all together, one bedroom behind the kitchen, and the other room with 2-3 beds and a dining table, so it's might be a bit crammed for 5 grownups / larger kids, if you stayed for a longer period of time. Nice interior and clean place. If you go by car: Reserve a parking lot before arrival, e.g. at Mr. Parkit - the price is fair and you cannot park in the street, you can only stop for a while to drop off the suitcases etc.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We really enjoyed our stay in Prag!
When we have booked this flat, Alex and Anastasia had contact us even before our stay. They were so friendly and let us know all the important information. When we arrived in Prag, we got a map with all the important stuff on it and Alex also sent a mail to ask, if everything is okay. The apartment was cosy and clean and just a few steps from Wenceslas Square.
We really recommend this flat! :)
A huge thank you to Alex and Anastasia, you made our stay unforgettable.

As June approaches, the school year draws to an end for most districts around the country. Administrators arrange final exam schedules, contemplate next year's staffing requirements, and plan the graduation ceremony. High school seniors look forward to college, the military, or employment opportunities. Other students yearn for the end of homework assignments and the start of summer activities with family and friends.
The end of the school year is exhilarating for board members too, with opportunities to attend concerts, plays, and award ceremonies and to offer personal congratulations to students and their family members. These are the moments that make school governance satisfying. It is even possible, in the rosy glow of retrospect, to forget early morning emergency meetings or contentious sessions that extended beyond midnight.
Of course, this time also is challenging for board members. For many districts, the end of the school year coincides with the end of the district's fiscal year on June 30. The transition period from the current fiscal year to the next is critically important. Board members' diligent oversight and attention to detail are essential to the continued success of the district's educational programs and financial well-being. For example, budgetary projections and estimates must be checked and rechecked or the consequences may be devastating.

I was just browsing bee stuff when I cam across a fundraiser site for a film crew. They had jars turned upside down with the openings fitted into a board. This was on top of a langstroth and the bees were busy building comb inside the jar. For whatever reason, it was fascinating to me. Has anyone ever done this before? Or heard of it? I am donating a beehive to a community garden. What are your thoughts about having this setup on the hive, so that people could check out the bees in action? At the end of the season I could have some novelty comb filled jars to give out.

In a major milestone toward restructuring of the United Arab Emirates' airspace and air traffic management systems, Airbus ProSky has completed an in-depth survey detailing the country's current situation and what is needed to meet expectations through the 2030 timeframe. Also included is a concept of operations plan and implementation strategy.
The study – prepared in close cooperation with the United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and National Airspace Advisory Committee (NASAC), based on an agreement signed in January 2013 – identified key policy matters for national-level decision, and produced 53 specific recommendations that will prepare the country for the future, and alleviate current day saturation and system limitations.
"GCAA is committed to making the difficult choices and putting forth effort to realize our ATM Strategic Plan for 2030," said Ahmed Al Jallaf, GCAA Executive Director of Air Navigating Services. "This study was successful due in large part to the willingness and open collaboration of the UAE airspace stakeholders.
