Inexperienced pilots, poor management and unenforced rules are seen as some of the causes of the frequent air crashes in Nepal. There have been six deadly accidents in just over two years.
Here is a chronology:
- September 28, 2012: A plane flying 19 people towards Mount Everest comes down in flames on the outskirts of the Nepalese capital Friday, killing everyone on board including seven Britons and five Chinese, police said.
- May 14, 2012: At least 15 people die when an Agni Air plane carrying Indian pilgrims crashes near the treacherous high-altitude airport of Jomsom in northern Nepal, while six make a miraculous escape.
- October 18, 2011: All six people on board die when a military plane crashes in a hunting reserve after taking off from Nepalgunj city in southwestern Nepal. The plane was transporting a critically ill soldier back to Kathmandu.
- September 25, 2011: A small plane taking tourists on a sightseeing trip around Mount Everest crashes into a hillside near Kathmandu, killing all 19 people on board.
- December 15, 2010: All 22 passengers and crew on board a passenger plane that crashes in eastern Nepal are killed. Most of victims are pilgrims from Bhutan, one US citizen is also among the dead.
- August 24, 2010: A small Agni Air plane crashes in bad weather near Kathmandu, killing all 14 people on board including four Americans, a Japanese and a British national.

Edit. Now that we have the news of her having 6 months left. All walls are broken down we are devastated. I just don't know words are useless to me. my son is strong when grandma is near but cries in mine and dh arms at night telling us life suck and doctors are stupid. My dh is up at night with me crying he said he tried to be strong but it is his mom too (not literally) and he is scared. I hate this no one should experience this pain.
Lost my hubby last year from cancer that went to his liver. Huge hugs from me.
Just hug your boy and stay positive. He doesn't need details, just positive things.
Your hubby won't feel just like you, men act tough a lot plus not his mom so there's a difference. I'm sure he's saddened by the news and worried more for you than anything so he is in tough and protect mode. Just don't fret about it. We all grieve and stress in different ways, just keep communication open.
Quoting mamamiajk:
Pray....and pray some more. I'm a cancer survivor but also come from a family where cancer seems to run wild in all forms. I will keep you and her in mine. Peace
Our angel was born to heaven on 1/10/2014 at 14wks 3days.
I lost my father 2 months ago to cancer. It's still so hard every day.
My advice is to do your best to stay as positive as possible. My father's original diagnosis gave him 6 months. We were very lucky and he fought it for a little over 3 years.
I think it's great that you talked to your ds about it. My ds is only 4 and didn't really know his Opa very well, but my 11 yo nephew was very close with him. Keeping him informed really made it much easier on him because he was able to cope better.
Good luck to you and your family.

Date of Stay: June, 2007
We've been here a few times now, and enjoy it more every time. The owners are friendly, helpful, and very cooperative. The showers are so clean that I'd rather walk the short distance than use my own. It's close to a grocery store and diners. If you get cabin fever, a movie theatre is only a 30 minute drive.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
My wife and I were very pleased with the appearance of the campgrounds and the friendliness of the staff. This campground is everything that their KOA internet site promises. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
Date of Stay: October, 2006
Really nice park. The owners/staff are helpful, and friendly. I needed to borrow an extension ladder to fix my antenna and they produced one right away. There are sites almost in the woods, out in the open, and next to a small fishing pond. Easy access to and from the area, close to grocery store, and hardware store.

A Memoir
The Distance Between Us
A Memoir
Then Mago touched my belly button . . . She said that my umbilical cord was like a ribbon that connected me to Mami. She said, "It doesn't matter that there's a distance btween us now. That cord is there forever."
When Reyna Grande's father leaves his wife and three children behind in a village in Mexico to make the dangerous trek across the border to the United States, he promises he will soon return from "El Otro Lado" (The Other Side) with enough money to build them a dream house where they can all live together. His promises become harder to believe as months turn into years. When he summons his wife to join him, Reyna and her siblings are deposited in the already overburdened household of their stern, unsmiling grandmother.
The three siblings are forced to look out for themselves; in childish games they find a way to forget the pain of abandonment and learn to solve very adult problems. When their mother at last returns, the reunion sets the stage for a dramatic new chapter in Reyna's young life: her own journey to "El Otro Lado" to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father.
In this extraordinary memoir, award-winning writer Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous early years, capturing all the confusion and contradictions of childhood, especially one spent torn between two parents and two countries. Elated when she feels the glow of her father's love and approval, Reyna knows that at any moment he might turn angry or violent. Only in books and music and her rich imaginary life does she find solace, a momentary refuge from a world in which every place feels like "El Otro Lado."
The Distance Between Us captures one girl's passage from childhood to adolescence and beyond. A funny, heartbreaking, lyrical story, it reminds us that the joys and sorrows of childhood are always with us, invisible to the eye but imprinted on the heart, forever calling out to us of those places we first called home.

About the Book
Reyna is two when her father leaves the family in Mexico and crosses the border into the United States, hoping to earn enough money to build a home in Mexico when he returns. When he sends for their mother, but leaves Reyna, Mago, and Carlos behind, the siblings suffer great hardship and poverty under the unforgiving hands of their father's mother, Abuela Evila. Abandoned by both parents, the three endure but long for the return of their mother and a father for whom they have little memory. Their mother returns with a baby sister, Elizabeth, setting off a chain of on-again and off-again contact with her children. When their father returns after an eight-year absence and takes Reyna, Mago, and Carlos with him across the border, a new window of opportunity presents itself; however, Reyna, Mago, and Carlos must also deal with their father's alcoholic rage. Recounted in astonishing detail, this memoir narrates one girl's journey out of poverty and her infinite capacity to forgive and love.

It is 8 p.m. on a Friday night, everything is monochrome in the darkness and the air is heavy with the sweetly acrid stinging smell of something which is everywhere in Cairo, and which tears at the throat and sits on the lungs, and which they tell me are messages of love sent by farmers burning their rice fields.
Oosha is driving a bunch of us towards the Dokki Corniche. We approach the end of a side street leading to the river and are prevented from going any further by a glut of taxis swarming around something or other. The car in front of us eventually moves us and we are met by a spectacular sight.
A group of smiling, laughing tourists, young ladies all, is gathered around two parked taxis. All have elected to dress as if going to the beach, in halter necks and daisy dukes and the flimsiest, shortest of summer dresses the effect of the wind on which is to make it look as if the garments are experiencing weightlessness. All, without exception, are magnificent specimens with weapons of mass destruction-legs of the type which, even if hidden from the international community in clothing bunkers, would induce a diplomatic crisis in the trousers of any man. Furthering their appeal is their incessant squealing as they are buffeted by the wind and liaise with one another about taxis in a pitch only audible to whales. It makes them appear girlish, and what I imagine is perhaps tantalisingly-silly to those inclined to the Marilyn Monroe-type of woman.
The noise that this pin-up circus is making is only outdone by the incessant beeping of the taxis, and the roar of the Corniche traffic, and above it all the electronic cacophony of those police sirens which, rather than being a straight forward neee-naaaw, is a collection of sounds one associates with toy robots: up and down whoop whoops, and strange guttural clanking noises all interspersed with the voice of the policeman inside telling people to get the bloody hell out of the way. For watching the show is a car full of five smiling policemen, those on the near-side leaning out of the window with their mouths falling open while their less fortunate brethren gawp behind them and the driver works his siren in such a way that it seems as if the car is woof-whistling the demoiselles.
Oosha being the cad that he is cannot resist attempting to make a crack to the police about 'taxis [wink wink] creating a nuisance' but is interrupted almost immediately by one of the winking policemen, 'itla3 ya 3am' [move along mate] – presumably because we are blocking his view.
As we wade through the testosterone I look back at the twittering birds and see that they are accompanied by a harried-looking young Egyptian bloke attempting to negotiate with a taxi driver while around him unaccompanied distracted drivers crash into the Nile, and those sitting next to their wives carry out surreptitious ogling without turning their heads by moving their right eyeball until it is somewhere in the vicinity of their right ear.

World Suicide Prevention Day passed by yesterday.
Going by statistics, almost 3000 people around the world chose that day to end their lives. Another 60,000 would have attempted to end their lives.
The same is happening today.
It would be unbelievable if not for the fact that at least two people, one thought to be 14 years old, killed themselves in Hawke's Bay on Saturday. And I emphasise "at least", because official details are mostly hard to come by. Suicides are not always easily identified by the media.
Chief Coroner Judge Neil MacLean last week provided the nation's provisional annual suicide statistics, and revealed that 35 people took their own lives in the Hastings coronial region last year.
Of real concern is that what was once mostly the domain of the elderly, is now gaining favour with youth.
Eighty teenagers between 15 and 19 took their own lives, up from 56 the year before, and Maori suicides, particular young Maori, were over-represented.
Last year, somewhere in New Zealand, a boy aged between 5 and 9 ended his own life.
A colleague asked: "What could drive a boy of that age to take his own life?"
That is the question health professionals grapple with, as they seek to prevent such deaths.
Putting that case to the side, because I have no knowledge of its circumstances, we can speculate on some of the reasons youth take their lives - even as young as that poor boy.
Drug and alcohol abuse has depression as a natural bed-fellow. And they are common causes of suicide.
Going by some of the material posted on local Facebook sites highlighted in Hawke's Bay Today last week, there is a sick underbelly into which many of our precious children are born. Dangerous places where lives can be destroyed in an instant. As if we didn't know that. Think Sahara Baker Koro and other unfortunate souls. Beyond their terrible fates will be suicides and suicide attempts.
But suicide is not simplistic. It's complex. Psychological, social, biological, cultural and environmental factors are said to be involved. And then there is impulse - the teenager with a broken heart who can't see tomorrow.
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne says twice as many people commit suicide as die in road accidents and the same emphasis should be put on reducing the toll. But how, when it is so difficult to corner?
Judge MacLean is on the right track.
"I continue to believe we need to gently bring the issue of suicide from out of the shadows," he said. "Coroners have a responsibility to encourage the informed public discussion about how best to reduce the rate of suicide. To have that discussion we need up-to-date and complete information."
Causal factors have to be examined and tabled, if effective prevention methods are to be found.
And the prevention can not just fall at the feet of one sector. Health and non-health sectors have to work together. That young boy's problem would have crossed the paths of many - doctor, teacher, and others.
Judge MacLean clearly believes that the prevention of suicide has not been helped by society refusing to discuss the subject openly, treating it as taboo, to be kept behind closed doors.
The grimness of the situation has been hidden for too long. It's now time to talk suicide prevention.
Footnote: In the last 45 years, suicide rates have increased by 60 per cent worldwide. Suicide is among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15-44 years in some countries, and the second leading cause of death in the 10-24 years age group.
Although traditionally suicide rates have been highest among the male elderly, rates among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the group at highest risk in a third of countries, in developed and developing countries.

st: rotated components in pca, order of
Tue, 3 Jul 2007 20:02:00 -0400 (EDT)
I'm running a principal components analysis in Stata, and am puzzled by the order of the components in the rotated solution. Prior to rotation, the components are listed as "comp 1" "comp 2" "comp 3" "comp 4" in the table of component loadings. After rotation, the order of the components changes to: 3, 2, 1, 4. The loadings also change, which I expected.
I can figure out which of the rotated components is what, based on running a correlation between the rotated component scores and selected variables that I expect to load highly on particular components.
But I don't know why the order of the components has changed. I did look in Statalist and the manual and found references on how to generate component scores, but nothing more.
My question is - are the rotated components reordered because due to rotation the percentage of variance explained by a particular component has changed? After rotation, in this example, does component 3 now explain more variance than component 1 did in the unrotated solution?
I'm also wondering if anyone can explain what the "component rotation matrix" is. I've seen this in factor analysis output as "factor rotation matrix" but despite quite a bit of searching, I haven't been able to find information about what this is.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

MedWest-Haywood line of credit extended
MedWest-Haywood officials have decided to pay bills instead of worrying about repaying a line of credit extended by Carolinas Healthcare Systems.
In a meeting with the Hawyood County Board of Commissioners Monday, John Young, vice president of the western division of the Charlotte-based medical group, said MedWest-Haywood's accounts payable had been as high as $15 million and were now down to $11.2 million. An acceptable "working number" for accounts payable would be around $9 million, Young said.
The $10 million line of credit Carolinas Healthcare extended to MedWest-Haywood one year ago was not only to be used to pay for unexpected and capital costs, but was intended to be a "safety net," Young said.
"It was always intended that within that loan, even though it's year by year, we would re-up that line of credit," Young said.
If the hospital had used the entire amount, paying it back in a single year would be a hardship, he said. The current amount used is $8.6 million.
"We have chosen to not pay that back in a hurry," Young said. "We need other things first."
Meanwhile, it would be ideal if someone in the financial lending business would step forward to provide a line of credit that is needed in a business the size of MedWest-Haywood, Young said, but until then, "we will keep doing it until it is not needed."
The line of credit was initially secured by real property in Haywood, both the hospital facility and the health and fitness center, as well as the accounts payable from all MedWest operations. The MedWest-Harris and MedWest-Swain operations have since been released from the obligations. The interest rate is prime plus 1 percent, which puts it in the 5 to 6 percent range, Young told the board.
Carolinas Healthcare, which has a management agreement with MedWest, extended the loan in an unprecedented move for the organization because there were pressing financial needs and other lending sources wouldn't take the risk. At the time, Young said part of the reason for the loan was that MedWest was a relatively new organization, formed just three years ago through an affiliation of medical providers in Haywood, Jackson and Swain counties without much of a credit history, and because Carolinas was "bullish" on the hospital and what it has to offer to the community.
The line of credit pay-down has been a moving target through the year. In May, former MedWest-Haywood CEO Michael Poore said the line of credit should be reduced to $2 million by the year's end. In August, Young said it was hoped to have the line of credit had been whittled down to $6.8 million and should be reduced to the 'mid-5s" by September.
Commissioner Kirk Kirkpatrick suggested the term be two years, which would prevent the need to get approval not only from the hospital and county governing boards, but also through the N.C. Local Government Commission.
The commissioners approved the extension and the matter was to be considered by the state agency that oversees all government-related loans the following day.

Carbon Fibre SRT8 dash trim inserts
Hi all. new to the site and wanted to know if there is an after market carbon fibre dash insert (SRT8 style) to replace the Burl wood trim finish? If not was thinkging of getting the real matt finish 3M carbon fibre (no clear coat due to the ageing/yellowing issue) sheets and installing these over the timber and silver inserts. Suggestions or advice would be great. Thankls in advance. :thumbsup:
Re: Carbon Fibre SRT8 dash trim inserts
im pretty sure i just saw a post somewhere, where someone just did this exact thing you are looking to do search around
Re: Carbon Fibre SRT8 dash trim inserts
Yeah they used the clear coat carbon fibre which will yellow out over time. I would prefer a like for like replacement so that I can sell or replace the OR inserts when it comes time to upgrade to the new model.
Look at this on eBay:
Jeep Grand Cherokee 11 Carbon Fiber Interior Dash Kit Trim Parts Dashboard Panel
I would've preferred to have full replacement panels but they all seemed pretty expensive at the time. I ended up doing the 3M CF Di-Noc film instead.
Re: Carbon Fibre SRT8 dash trim inserts
Just wrap the pieces in 3M 1080 vinyl.
Click on finishes on upper right. I am debating between carbon fiber black or the brushed black. I have samples of many of these and will post pics when I can.
Great thing about this is if you dont like it you just remove it. It wont damage your original trim.
Re: Carbon Fibre SRT8 dash trim inserts
Thank brjp1 and ClarkeyWKCRD. It seems like the most logical way to go. I like the pre cut versions better as it saves me time and I'm relativley time poor anyway.

Why wont a starved stray dog eat dogfood from a dish?
I just found this stray-had him wormed & shots, he is heartworm positive-to get treatment-but the dog has been in my house 2 days and won't eat dog food (purina One) I had given him cooked chicken the first day, b/c he threw up in my car when i was bringing him home. Is something wrong-he is very timid- or is he just waiting for more chicken??

Well if he was a stray he's been scavaging on HUMAN food for however long he was stray. Dogs will not starve themselves to death, they will eventually eat if hungry enough. You may want to try mixing the chicken with the dog food, or using some canned dog food- heating it up a little makes it smell "better" (to the dog).
Maybe add some chicken broth... anything to intice his appetite. Then gradually switch him from people food back to dog food.

Google satin balls. Try that until his apetite gets back up. It'll put some weight on him. Other than that, maybe he simply doesn't like the Purina?

He may have suffered abuse. Put it out and leave him alone with it. He may be too afraid to eat it with you there. He will probably only eat a little at a time if he has been starved. If he eats too much too fast, he will get a tummy ache and throw up the food. Let him take the lead and don't try to force him. The vet you took him to would probably have recommended IV or tubing if he/ she thought the weight was a major issue. You can try to lure him with a little beef or chicken broth poured over the food.
Dexter answered on 11/9/08. Helpful? / 1
Maybe he just needs some time to adjust to new surroundings and new people. Not knowing his history or how long he was a stray, he just may need to absorb the change. Maybe you can try feeding him from your hand just to gain his trust and assure him that everything is okay. When he does eat, praise him and give him lots of love. Gradually put one piece of food in his bowl and when he eats it, lots of loving. Like someone elsed mentioned maybe a bit of broth over his food may help as well. Best of luck to you and congrats on finding your new fur pal.

Purina One is not a good dog food. In fact, it's one of the worst ones. Switch to something like Innova. That's probably why he's not eating.
Sparky answered on 11/9/08. Helpful? / 0
He needs to adjust to this new lifestyle. Things are moving too fast and he is confused. Just remain calm around him and try not to look him in the eye or talk to him alot. He could have suffered from abuse and does not fully trust humans yet. My sheltie is very timid around strangers so we tell our guests to not look at her, talk to her, or pet her and after a little while she warms up. So maybe you could set him in a room with the food bowl, shut the door, and let him eat in peace. Then come back in about 10 minutes and see if he has eaten the food.

I recommend the Blue Buffalo dog food from Petsmart. It is made using the cold process so that the food doesnt lose it's nutritional value. It is slightly more expansive than Wal-Mart dog foods but well worth it. My dogs seem much happier and healthier since I switched their food. Good luck with your new pal.

Apple has agreed to withdraw patent infringement allegations against the new Galaxy S III Mini following its South Korean rival's pledge that it will not market the device in the U.S. "Apple will agree to withdraw without prejudice its request to include the Galaxy S III Mini in this case given Samsung's representation that it is not making, using, selling, offering to sell, or importing that product into the United States," Apple said in a filing in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif., adding that it would do so only if that withdrawal doesn't prejudice its "ability later to accuse the Galaxy S III Mini if the factual circumstances change." Apple had asked to add the Galaxy S III Mini to its sprawling patent case against Samsung in November, after its legal team managed to buy the device from third-party retailers on Amazon's U.S. Web site. And while it still remains available there today , Samsung's assurances that it has no plans to officially sell it in the States seems to have been enough to convince Apple to back off. For the time being, anyway.Read More
There are reports around the Web today that Instagram has lost around 25 percent of its daily active users connected to Facebook, according to an app-tracking firm AppData. Some reports are attributing it to the change in Instagram's terms of service, which had caused a frenzy on the Web. Facebook's stock also is down more than 2 percent today, which could be a result of those reports — any weakness in an app that Facebook paid $1 billion for at the time wouldn't be well-received by the market.

While Hewlett-Packard may have struck the first blow in its fraud charges around its Autonomy acquisition, former Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch hasn't stopped swinging since. Today, Lynch asserts that HP is "backtracking" on its claims against him and the Autonomy management team — because its latest statements can be read as less broad and assertive than those of the past. On Nov. 20, HP blamed Autonomy's former management team for more than $5 billion worth of write-downs regarding the 2011 acquisition. Yesterday, it disclosed in a financial filing that it had persuaded the U.S. Department of Justice to officially look at the issue. Lynch quickly responded with a lengthy public statement reiterating his defense, demanding more information from HP, and attesting that he had yet to be contacted by any regulatory authorities. But what's one statement about a statement about a statement when you can make two?Read More
LG has escalated its worsening patent dispute with Samsung, filing a request for an injunction against one of its South Korean rival's flagship products. Filed Friday, the injunction request asks a Korean court to "completely stop the sale, manufacture, and importation" of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which LG alleges infringes three of its display patents. Accompanying it is a demand for damages of $933,000 per day for each day of Samsung's "continued non-compliance."Read More

There are plenty of apps that offer up info on New York's popular subways. But, until today, none offered exact train arrival times. New York is now serving up that information via mobile apps for seven of its lines, with plans to add more lines over time. The Metropolitan Transit Agency on Friday offered up an iOS test app for the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and S shuttle lines. The data will also be on its Web site and in a feed that can be used by other app developers. "This is what generations of dreamers and futurists have waited for," said MTA Chairman and CEO Joseph J. Lhota, in a statement. Well, I'm not sure about that. Those in San Francisco and other places have long had that data, but it's still useful that it is coming to one of America's busiest public transit systems. "The ability to get subway arrival time at street level is here," Lhota said. "The days of rushing to a subway station only to find yourself waiting motionless in a state of uncertainty are coming to an end. Now, you can know from the comfort of your home or office whether to hasten to the station, or grab a cup of coffee as part of a leisurely walk." MTA says its Subway Time app can handle 5,000 requests per second, and builds on the countdown clocks that are already in place inside many subway stations. But, as The Wall Street Journal explains , the task of expanding this feature to cover the entire system is formidable. The real-time train location information comes from new computer-connected sensors that were installed along the first set of lines at a cost of more than $228 million over 11 years. Adding such sensors across the remaining two-thirds of the system will take years and hundreds of millions more. And a separate project to extend cell service to underground stations won't be completed until 2016.Read More
China enacted new rules on Friday that beef up disclosure requirements for Internet users, in Beijing's latest move to get a tighter grip on its voluble and increasingly restive online community. Senior members of the National People's Congress, China's rubber-stamp parliament, approved the rules Friday as part of an effort to strengthen personal privacy laws, the state-run Xinhua news agency said. The rules, unveiled Monday, received a slew of positive coverage in state-run media and were widely expected to be enacted. Read the rest of this post on the original site »Read More
It's almost New Years and, for many people, it's resolution time. MGS / Shutterstock.com It's the time of the year when a lot of workout gear and gym memberships get sold (and I suspect a fair number of Fitbits and other gadgets as well.) Even if you are not quite motivated to go to the gym, don't have an exercise bike or even a TV, you can still get a workout. There are plenty of fitness apps geared for smartphones and tablets. One of the newest entrants is Obstacle XRT — a $4.99 iPhone app that talks people through a simulated obstacle course using steps, virtual quicksand and other challenges to provide a decent workout. Brian Atz, co-founder of Barracuda Partners, the app's creator, said the app was developed in about a month in conjunction with some Chicago-area fitness trainers. "As someone who travels frequently, I don't have a lot of time to go to the gym, so I needed to find a way to work out efficiently," Atz said in an e-mail interview. "The problem with the apps and programs I tried was that they were simply too routine and boring — there came a point where I was no longer looking forward to my workouts, so I stopped doing them." With the advent of things like the Kinect, Barracuda decided there was a growing market for using technology to make workouts less of a chore. "I thought that if there was a way to make exercise more fun — like you were imaging obstacles on the hotel room floor — it would make the exercise more enjoyable, and more likely for me to continue with it," Atz said.Read More

Ponting set to launch new era
Page Tools
Ricky Ponting's past might have been chequered, but his future is bright.
Picture:Getty Images
Ricky Ponting's period as captain of Australia starts on Monday. Of course he is far from a greenhorn and has a World Cup to his name. Still it is Test cricket that counts.
Tournaments won playing abbreviated matches cannot be taken as seriously as protracted affairs in which a man's entire game is subjected to the most rigorous examination.
Considering his present standing, it is easy to forget that Ponting's appointment raised eyebrows. After all he was promoted above senior players with legitimate claims whose hats had been thrown into the ring.
Ponting was a roughie with a colourful past. Not that every predecessor has followed the monastic course. Still, it was a bold move by a cricket community intent upon promoting youth. Not the least attraction of Australian cricket is that it reaches across the classes and generally prefers adventure to solidity.
Subsequent events have confirmed that Shane Warne did not deserve the honour while Adam Gilchrist has a patchy record and much upon his plate.
Judging by his tactics in state matches, Darren Lehmann is not as profound a thinker as has been supposed. Contrastingly Ponting has continued to mature and his performance will cheer those convinced that man is master of his own destiny.
Ponting will captain his country until the end of the decade. He is young, fit and has an undiminished appetite for the game. Only three men have secured appointment as Australian Test captain since 1984, an indication that the position is not lightly given or taken away.
Unlike counterparts in other countries, Ponting will not be called to account as soon as a couple of matches are lost. Indeed the newcomer is not expected to match the results of his immediate predecessor, an uncommon luxury. Australian cricket has sufficient maturity to accept bad patches provided enthusiasm is maintained.
Rather, Ponting will be expected to perform with a dignity befitting his responsibilities. He will also be expected to preside over an evolving team as past champions are replaced. It might not be easy. Australia's under-19 team did not win the plate final of its recent World Cup let alone the competition proper.
Not that any pessimism need be felt about the team's prospects in Sri Lanka. Ponting's side has played with sufficient skill and success to beat the Lankans on their own patch. Certainly the Australians will not play timidly. Teams take after their captains and the Tasmanian is not inclined to agonise. He will provide energetic and decisive leadership and must just take care that he does not allow sentiment to affect his judgement.
Soon Ponting and his selectors will be forced by the passing of time to find some younger players capable of turning promise into fulfilment.
Among those present at the SCG yesterday, Michael Clarke singularly failed to enhance his reputation, losing his wicket by pulling a short delivery straight into the hands of a deep fieldsman. On his way back to the pavilion he passed a familiar figure, who seemed to be muttering: "I told 'em it was a risky shot."
Doubtless Steve Waugh was not pleased with the news from Hobart. Victoria's subsidence has shattered lingering hopes of a grand finale. It is quite a thought that the Waugh twins - admired and loved - will not be seen again in this company.
Nathan Hauritz's bowling has improved in the past few weeks because he has stopped pushing the ball through on a predictable and discouraging trajectory. Accordingly he was able to tempt and tease the batsmen. Australia must find a fresh crop of slow bowlers. Rising tweakers cannot learn their trade overnight and seldom benefit from prematurely trying to meet the requirements of the 50-over game.
Ponting will have his eyes upon this pair and also Shane Watson, a strong cricketer who has a part to play in the Ponting years. Marcus North has made his mark and might well challenge for a place in the one-day side.
Ponting must hope that some of these men develop the greatness needed by any side hoping to dominate the international scene.

Washington Court Slams Brakes on Traffic Appeals
Most people's reaction to a bogus traffic ticket is to fight it in court. In the state of Washington, though, drivers may only get one shot, after that, they may be stuck.
- The Washington Court of Appeals won't take appeals in typical traffic citation cases
- Washington and similar states may take action to protect revenue streams
- Know what you can do to beat a ticket in Washington and elsewhere
Court Takes Some of the Fight Out of the Fight
Like everywhere else in the US, Washington state residents can try to beat a traffic ticket in court. Until a few days ago, Washington had the same rule as most other states: The person who loses in court usually can appeal to higher courts and seek a better result. Not so much anymore.
It all began when a trial court (called a "superior court" in Washington) decided that the City of Spokane's system of "red light cameras" was illegal and threw out three traffic citations. The problem was the tickets were executed in Arizona by a company hired by the City to process the electronic citations. That, the superior court ruled, violated a state law requiring citations to be executed and signed within the state of Washington.
The City didn't like the ruling and asked the state's second highest court, the court of appeals, to look at the case again to make sure the superior court got the decision right. But the court never answered the question about the legality of the cameras.
Instead, the court ruled that it didn't have the authority (or "jurisdiction") to answer the question. According to the court, state law gave the court the power to decide cases only where the parties are fighting over more than $200. Because the traffic citations were only for $124 each, the court punted and said it didn't have the authority to make a decision.
Some Court Basics
From personal injury lawsuits to serious criminal trials, in practically any legal matter that makes it to the courts, the person who loses has the right to appeal. The idea is to make sure the court that made the original decision did everything right.
Also, practically every court in every city, county and state has a jurisdictional threshold or amount in controversy limit on a court's power to decide certain cases. Certain courts get certain cases, depending on the problem, and in civil (non-criminal cases), the amount of money involved. For instance, the small claims courts in your state may only take cases involving $500 or less.
The drivers and the City had their chances in court, and the City ultimately lost. So, the Washington court's decision really isn't all that surprising, except for one thing.
Back in 2004, the same court ruled in favor of the City on its appeal and took away a driver's recovery of court costs he had to pay when he successfully beat a $143 traffic citation. But in the most recent case, the court flip-flopped. "Just because review was mistakenly accepted in the [2004 case]," wrote the court, "does not mean that we should repeat that mistake here, where the amount in controversy requirement is clearly lacking."
Dean Chuang, an attorney with Crary, Clark & Domanico, P.S. in Spokane who specializes in traffic infractions and other criminal matters, thinks the court got it right. "The limit on the Court of Appeals' jurisdiction has been established for quite some time. The $200 limit was established, at least for the Supreme Court, in the State Constitution when it was first adopted. The appellate court's limit followed suit through statute." Why? Mr. Chuang explains that, "The Courts are backed up and there needs to be limits on what can be heard. If you take into account inflation, $200 back in 1889 would be worth about $4800 today. Back in 1889, $200 was a fair amount of money."
What Happens Next?
There are millions of vehicles on our streets and highways everyday. And everyday, law enforcement officials from coast to coast issue thousands of traffic citations. According to statistics provided to us by the Washington State Transportation Commission, in 2010 alone, over 1 million traffic-related cases were filed in the state court system – and that doesn't include parking tickets or DUI/DWI cases!
Forgetting for the moment the safety factor involved in stopping and deterring traffic violations, think about the revenue these citations bring to the public coffers. In tough economic times, state and local governments aren't going to give up that revenue stream without a fight.
With that in mind, any number of things could happen in Washington (or other states where courts have low amounts in controversy), to avoid the revenue loss, such as:
- Raising the jurisdictional limit to account for inflation, as mentioned by Mr. Chuang
- Increasing "red light" citations above the jurisdictional limit
- Making traffic cases an exception to the amount in controversy rules. That's unlikely, though, at least in Washington where, according to Mr. Chuang, "The courts are one of the least funded Courts in the US," making it "unlikely the legislature will want to over tax the system with even more cases"
As for the City of Spokane, unless it can figure out a way to get the state supreme court to decide if its red light camera system is legal or not, you can bet it will change the system to avoid the same problem in the future. Until then, of course, tickets issued under the current system aren't enforceable.
What's a Driver To Do?
In Washington (and other states as well), drivers have a way around the $200 limit to get their traffic cases heard on appeal. Mr. Chuang points out that they may "appeal directly to the state supreme court, because there is an exception to the $200 bar if you are challenging the constitutionality of the statute." So, in the recent case, if the drivers had lost on their appeal in the superior court, they probably could have appealed to the state supreme court with an argument that the City's red light camera law is unconstitutional.
The downside is the cost. "Most of the time, it is not worth appealing a $124 ticket any further than the superior court," explains Mr. Chuang, simply because the filing fees alone are usually more than the cost of the ticket. Tack on other court costs and maybe attorney's fees, and that $124 ticket could cost you thousands.
Other than obeying the traffic laws in the first place and avoiding the ticket altogether, your best bet is to beat the traffic ticket in your first try in court. Learn all you can about the traffic laws and courts in your state and fight it. Of course, if you're facing serious consequences beyond the price of the ticket – like suspension of your license or a high number of points against your license – it's probably a good idea to get some help from an experienced attorney rather than going it alone.

Living snails were C14 dated at 2,300 and 27,000 years old
From EvoWiki
Living snails were C14 dated at 2,300 and 27,000 years old, thus proving that carbon-dating is totally unreliable.
- Hovind, Kent, n.d. Doesn't carbon dating or Potassium Argon dating prove the Earth is millions of years old? [1]
- Hovind, Kent, 2003 Seminar Notebook (download the 2003 version free here or here) p.59 for "Living mollusk shells were dated up to 2300 years old." -Science vol. 141, 1963 p. 634-637
- Creationists who use this claim fail to note that the snails lived in an environment that did not have access to atmospheric C14 (a pool formed from a limestone sinkhole). The C14 that the snails did have access to was dissolved out of the limestone, itself, and as a result, was "old" C14.
- The scientist didn't measure the living snails themselves. He measured their shells. The whole point is that the process through which the mollusks builds its shell (taking carbon from the water it lives in and NOT the atmosphere) doesn't "reset" the C14 "timer".
- In the 1963 paper by Keith and Anderson Table 1 on page 634 gives 7 dates from 3 different samples. The first set of 3 results come from "Marine samples", the second single date is from a "Lacustrine sample", and the last 3 dates are from "Fluvial samples". The Marine samples give an uncorrected mean C14 date of 155, the Lacustrine sample as 440 and the Fluvial samples give a mean uncorrected C14 date of 1733 with the highest of those being the date of 2300(+/-200) years old (being the only date which Kent Hovind mentions). On page 635, Figure 1 shows that the snails from rivers are not only deficient in C14 (as would be expected coming from a source, limestone, which has radioactively decayed and is not "recharged" like C14 in the atmosphere), but also were C13 deficient, explained by the concentration of leached humus in rivers and streams. What Kent Hovind does not mention is that these are the exact results we would expect since carbon in limestone (C14 deficient) and humus (C13 deficient) that has been leached into the water should be at higher concentrations at their source (the streams and rivers which the samples were taken) than in lakes and oceans downstream which are affected by cleaner sources and that some samples used for C14 dating will give incorrect ages when the organism sequesters most of it's carbon from water. The C14 dates in this paper are from these areas which contain "hard" water, heavy in dissolved solids from the surrounding landscape, and cannot be used to give accurate dates, which is the whole point of the paper.

Where I stayed
Leaving Rapid City for Buffalo
Getting up, Getting on & Getting out
Better sleep finally, nice hotel & very comfortable if a bit tired and old. Staff excellent and all very helpful and friendly. The new home btw is not a camper, just an SUV! Spoke to Meg on Skype this morning (her afternoon) which was excellent. Mobile reception is rubbish it seems so we keep cutting out, expecting lots of missed calls when we finally find a cell.
Heading for Buffalo today, maybe catch some things on the way. Weather is looking ok so far, the best it's been for weeks apparently
Holiday Inn at Rapid was pretty good, sleep not too bad so ready to rock and roll. First big driving day today, about 240 miles so interesting to see how that goes. Stopped off along route and discovered in the local Verizon shop that Orange doesn't work in Wyoming or Idaho, but might be ok by the time we get to California, option to buy a phone for a week but at $100 seems a bad plan. Bought a starbucks card and joined their free wifi program, seems easier and skyping texts is a lot cheaper anyway.
Made a short detour to the petrified woods, really interesting to see wood that has been turned to stone. Watched a short film explaining the process and then did a walking tour of the woods, really pretty and we had it all to ourselves. Peace at last!!!
One long straight road, with a vast change of scenery along the way
Mountains are breathtaking, and we arrived in Buffalo safe & sound. Holiday inn pictures on the net are not quite what you get when you arrive but inside is great, comfy beds, pillows and very quiet even though it's on the main road. Looking forward to a good night sleep. We went to dinner at the Occidental Hotel which has been around since 1880 apparently and has had people like Butch Cassidy & the Sundance kid, Buffalo Bill & Calamity Jane stay there. Not convinced as it has been totally rebuilt since then but the concept is real. Very quaint (old). We had the Bison special.
Tomorrow we are off to Cody which is Buffalo Bill country. But for now we are going to watch a film.
Mark & Tina
Safe,sound and not quite so shattered.

Hello everyone! Radiator fan issue
I own a ford focus zx3, and i have been having some overheating issues! The car runs fine, but every time am stuck in traffic the temperature gauge would go up! What i did first was to see if i had coolant leak, and i had to replace the water pump, thermostat, and a hose that was leaking. I took my car to an electrician and he fixed the problem supposedly...he told me that the fans would turn on, and i believed him. After running the car, i still had the same overheating issue...so i decided to do a radiator fan test. I grabbed my scan tool, plug it into my car and checked the temperature of my car until it reached 225 FArenheits, where the fans were supposed to kick in. I let it run to 227 and still, fans werent working....what can i do to find the source of the problem? What can i check...what relays or fuses?
For a couple quick hints;
If you turn the A/C on, the fans should come on. That'll check the basic operation of the high speed circuit & confirm the fans themselves are OK.
Then, the most common issue is low speed not working. That normally comes on first as it heats up, and in most circumstances does the job so it never gets to the HIGH temp needed to turn the high speed on. There is a resistor pack you can find between the fans (rectangular box with a four wire connector as I remember). The resistors inside can go bad, and the connector itself often gets "burned" from the power load especially with corrosion that's probably present at the age of the car. Both are replaceable & cause MOST of the "overheating" issues. The gauge & temp. readings get to the red & scary zone B4 the high speed kicks on if the low isn't working.... At that point the temp is rising quickly & the high speed has a chore to do to "catch" it and send the temps downwards again!
Manual would help on fuse & relay numbers (avail. on line if you don't have one), or one of our electrical experts may chime in who knows that info off hand...
Thanks sailor!
I turn on the ac and nope, the fans dont work at all! There is no fan movement at all...there is a thing, my ac doesnt go past level 3, at level 4 it doesnt blow nothing. I have checked the resitor and they are fine, plus the connectors to the fan! How can i test the relays of fuses? Btw when i hit the defroster for the rear, i hear a click clik sound coming from the driver side fuse box? What does that means
I saw a couple dozen threads about dead fan issues that thoroughly discussed these details. This was after a friend of mine had the same problem. He bought a factory service manual and read existing threads. His problem turned out ot be a burned up resistor assembly. The Focus has several weaknesses involving the fan relays & relay sockets located in the fuse box in the engine compartment and especially the fan resistor mounted in the top or bottom of the fan shroud assembly. In later years, and for duratec I believe it moved to the bottom. Since you have an early Zetec, it's probably at the top of the shroud. You will need a voltmeter to test and isolate the problem unless you want to replace a lot of good parts for no reason. If the resistor assembly is totally cooked you may be able to tell its bad from visual inspection, but that's a potshoot. In some cases the resistor assembly will burn up to the point that it destroys the wiring harness and these parts are sold in the aftermarket. I would strongly suggest parking the car until you repair it or takie it to a shop. Driving it with no fans can cause engine failure.
^^ good warning to keep in mind!
We usually use position 4 to "force" the A/C on to do the "quick check" of fan operation, without that you would need to look to see if the compressor is cycling on to know if it's actually operating... (wouldn't necessarily turn on in cooler weather)
No operation in 4 often traces down to the switch, but electrical testing is needed to confirm that instead of throwing parts at the issue. One side of the fan connector gets power, the other grounds through the resistor pack & the switch to turn it on. That's why when folks check for power at the resistor connection they don't see any! So a multimeter is needed to check the circuit.
when i turn on the ac to test the motor fans, both have to work? or just one? this overheating problem is really annoying, and making me get a bat and start beating this piece of S..t! lol....
Both normally turn on with the A/C, purpose is to get air flow through the condenser even if not needed at the time for the radiator.
i see! thanks for all your help guys, I am trying to figure it out whats going on, I dont have much experience with electrical stuff and I am trying to learn as much as I can...how can i test the fans? I do have a multimeter, and a ECT 2000, a master probe 3....
The problem I see here is you have a very urgent trouble that beasically needs immediate attention. You are trying to learn how to troubleshoot wiring and you don't even have wiring diagrams or factory service manual. Even if you bid on ebay to buy the proper literature you won't have it for weeks. The engine may fail before then and that's unfortunate. I'd be taking it to a dealer tomorrow.

"The Physical Genome"
Every day there seems to be a story in the news about DNA and some gene that it encodes. While this abstraction of DNA as an information storage device is useful, in this talk I will consider the physical nature of DNA, namely the fact that it is a long, flexible, and charged molecule. This is important because the physical properties of DNA affect a number of critical functions that it performs in the cell. One such function is to turn on and off the production of proteins, which are the building blocks of the cell, in response to different physical and chemical ques. Another is to repair itself when breaks occur. In this talk I will describe how simple physics models combined with experiments on cells and single molecules are being used to develop a quantitative understanding of the physical genome.
March 2, 2015 -- Julio Navarro (University of Victoria)
"Dwarf Galaxies as Cosmological Probes"
A prime challenge to our understanding of galaxy formation concerns the scarcity of dwarf galaxies compared with the numerous low-mass halos expected in the current ΛCDM paradigm. This is usually accounted for by assuming that energetic feedback from evolving stars confines dwarf galaxy formation to relatively massive halos spanning a narrow mass range. I will highlight a number of observations that may be used to test this assumption and discuss the puzzles and challenges that arise from this analysis. I will also discuss a number of challenges that ΛCDM faces on the scale of dwarf galaxies and their possible resolutions.
March 9, 2015 -- Benjamin Wandelt (Sorbonne University)
"The Physics of the Cosmos: from the Big Bang to the Cosmic Web"
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) carries a cosmic message, preserved through time, written in its anisotropies. The Planck mission has just revealed a new chapter of this message using high-resolution nearly all-sky information of the polarization anisotropies for the first time, in addition to upgrading from the nominal mission to the full mission data set. These data provide new insights into several open questions related to the nature of the primordial fluctuations that seeded all structure; the global properties of the universe; neutrinos; dark matter; dark energy; atomic physics; and gravity. Beyond the CMB I will describe how new physics-based analysis methods of astronomical data sets allow us explore our cosmic past on and off the light cone and understand the origin and evolution of large scale structure of the Universe in unprecedented detail.
"Elementary ! Is this the right answer ?"
With the discovery of the Higgs Boson, Quantum field theory has established itself as the theoretical framework to address the fundamental questions and elementary particle physics the way to confirm it experimentally. Paradoxically this success of the Standard Model is also highlighting the fundamental questions which we have difficulty to answers: the problems in including gravitation in the Standard model framework, the issue of understanding the nature of the elusive Dark Matter or the failure to explain why there is only Baryons and not Anti-Baryons in our universe are clear evidence that our description of nature is incomplete. In this colloquium, after recollecting the recent successes of Elementary particle physics through the achievements of one of the large experiments at the LHC accelerator, CMS, I will show what can be expected from the future runs: in a few weeks the LHC will break a new energy frontier when it will restart with protons colliding at 13 TeV center of mass energy and this will allow a new exciting run with the potential to access new physics phenomena in the near future. The CERN council has also approved a long term plan which will be extending the operation of the LHC for the next 20 years providing a program which will increase the luminosity of the Accelerator by factor of 5 and creating the intensity frontier program of the future: I will also show examples of what can be achieved from this long term program.

"The Remarkable Power of General Relativity"
This is the 100th anniversary of Einstein's discovery of general relativity. This theory has been very successful in reproducing a wide range of gravitational phenomena. I will briefly review this success, and then explain how general relativity can describe other areas of physics as well, including aspects of particle physics and condensed matter physics. This is a result of the gauge/gravity duality that emerged from string theory. I will explain this remarkable development and show how general relativity reproduces properties of QCD and superconductivity.

"The life of a vortex knot: Linking coiling and twisting across scales"
Can you take a vortex loop - akin to a smoke ring in air - and tie it into a knot or a link? The possibility of such knottiness in a fluid has fascinated physicists and mathematicians ever since Kelvin¹s 'vortex atom' hypothesis, in which the atoms of the periodic table were hypothesized to correspond to closed vortex loops of different knot types. More recently, the knottiness (Helicity) of a fluid has re-emerged as a conserved quantity in many idealized situations (such as Euler fluids and ideal plasmas) offering the potential for new fundamental insights. In the real physical counterparts to these systems progress has however been hindered by lack of accessible experimental systems. I will tell of how to make a vortex knot and link in water, in the wave function of a superfluid (on a computer) and of what happens thence. In particular I will talk about how linking coiling and twisting interplay across scales.
April 13, 2015 -- Sumit Das (University of Kentucky)
Over the last couple of decades it has become clear that in many situations gravity can be thought of as an emergent, "dual" description of non-gravitational gauge theories in lower number of dimensions. This realization is a key ingredient in our current understanding of the quantum physics of black holes in terms of the properties of the underlying gauge theory. In the other direction, this duality has been used to address difficult issues in strongly coupled field theories, by mapping them to classical problems in gravity. This talk will discuss the physical origins of this duality and its modern applications to the understanding of far from equilibrium properties of strongly coupled systems, and attempts to uncover the mysteries of big-bang like singularities.
Arthur O. Williams Lecture:
April 20, 2015 -- Rolf Heuer (Director-General, CERN)
"Breaking the wall of the hidden universe - what the discovery of the Higgs boson tells us about Physics, Mankind and the Universe "
With the start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, particle physics entered a new era. The LHC will provide a deeper understanding of the universe and the insights gained could change our view of the world, and the talk will present some of the reasons for the excitement surrounding the LHC. The LHC is expected to yield insights into the origin of mass, the nature of dark matter and into many other key questions. This lecture will address the exciting physics prospects offered by the LHC, discuss in particular the recent discovery of the Higgs-Boson, and present a look forward.

Great food! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain which items were gluten free.
Great food. Very knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination.
Walked in and staff immediately informed us of their gluten free menu. They use a completely station for GF waffles and we're extremely knowledgeable! Absolutely 0 concerns about cross-contamination! The 1 star reviews on here are lies. 1 star reviews should be reserved for contaminated food or lack of GF knowledge, not taste.
Safe for celiacs. They had gluten free waffles pre-made and wrapped separately. They were heated in a separate oven. However, the waffle was terrible. It was chewy and had a bad flavor. They were out of several toppings (whipped cream, Fuji apples, and cheesecake). I ended up getting the chocolate, and the quality of the chocolate tasted very poor. I was really looking forward to this, and I was sorely disappointed. My husband said his non gluten free sandwich waffle was not particularly worth eating either. Give this restaurant a skip and go somewhere else.
What a great find! It is a small space with counter seating for 6. Upon ordering the GF waffle, they asked if it was a preference or intolerance. When we said intolerance, they asked if it was Celiac. They have a dedicated waffle iron for celiacs and use clean utensils to add the topping. The waffles were delicious!
GF good for celiacs. Been going here often, but taste has deteriorated in last visit. Waffles were very hard, even after a reorder. Apparently, a change in recipe that the owner does not wish to reverse. We probably won't go back from now.
I had the Memphis Style Pork and it was fantastic. The BBQ was not too sweet and had a good kick. Great find!
Best breakfast food DC! Celiac friendly
I got very sick eating here. Everything appears to be separate but when I asked for no cream cheese (because I can't tolerate a lot of lactose the women repeated "no cream cheese?" But them made the sad which with cream cheese. When I apologetically said I was sorry I couldn't eat it the women seemed annoyed and then when I got the sandwich only a few min later she had used the same knife with cream cheese all over it to cut it leaving bits of cream cheese I was trying to pull off. I'm already shy regarding my annoying food challenges and hate having to make people go out of their way but if they are so amazing with contamination per the other reviews I don't think the people reviewing it have celiac? I'm normally able to trust the reviews but I got sick within a hour and the attitude was ridicules despite my major attempt to be as polite and apologetic as I could.
Amazing! I went there every morning of my work trip and got something different each time!
These gluten free waffles are delicious for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. The turkey sandwich and Nutella/strawberry waffles are amazing! When we request gluten-free and explain that we have a severe allergy, the staff always takes precautions to prevent cross-contamination (separate area, utensils, Nutella jar). We have never had a problem!
Good food. Follows good procedures to avoid cross contamination. Lots of menu options. Small fast food kind of place.
No issues for me and I am celiac. The GF waffle sandwich was really good. Everything was clearly marked on the menu. The turkey, bacon, melted muenster was good. Also, good for non-GF eaters.
Great gluten free waffles and awesome service!
No Butter, No Syrup. But the GF waffles were delicious, and no reaction!! Very little seating inside.
Fabulous staff-- they know what they're doing! They asked if GF orders were for Celiac or just preference. Non-gf husband was happy, too!
Awesome GF options. Really delicious! 2 happy campers with Celiac.
Super friendly, quick, and they use a dedicated area.
Fantastic! Absolutely lovely. I am on vacation here and back home you can't find gluten free breakfast anywhere. I have celiac and can say their procedures of making the gluten free stuff is 100%. This was worth every penny. Ate it as a brunch today and returning tomorrow for breakfast!
Great food! Almost all of the waffles can be made gluten free and they were careful careful in preparing the gf meals. They even gave me a bag of chips for free with my meal!!
Great gluten free waffle sandwiches and understanding staff. They use a separate cutting board and knife for the gluten free waffles and staff is patient with questions.
Delicious food! Safe for Celiac's and has safe sandwich's as well as breakfast waffles.
Great experience! The GF waffles are prepared and kept separate from the regular ones. Everything is made in front of you and one side of the "kitchen" is dedicated GF. They change gloves and one person focused on GF while another tended to regular orders so there was no cross contamination. Absolutely delicious food, can't wait to go back!
GF French toast waffle was amazing! My hubby said that his nonGF breakfast sandwich was good too.
Needs more seating but awesome waffles and one person who handles GF.
Had a fantastic strawberry waffle made gluten free and had no issues at all. It was very tasty and the employees were careful to double check our order with us and assure us that they have dedicated waffle irons and utensils. We really enjoyed it!
Great selection of waffles and other items and the staff are super knowledgeable and careful about ensuring that their waffles are gluten free. They even list their Gluten Free Waffle Ingredient List. The staff are super friendly. It was really busy on the times went and eating space is at a premium but it's definitely worth a visit (or more).
We really like the gf waffles and have had takeout there many times. We have one significant complaint: only once have the gf waffles been labelled on their boxes. So, in order for the celiac members of our family to eat, we work around it by either: 1) we order different toppings on the gf and regular waffles (and then can figure out which is which on our own), or 2) order everyone a gf waffle (which costs more). It's too bad, because the waffles are quite good.
Great waffles, friendly staff, and solid gluten free procedures. The bacon / egg / cheese waffle and a cup of coffee is a great start to a morning in DC.
Got a little nervous since I saw that things were all being made in the same area up front, but when I mentioned I had to have it gluten free they took care of it. Mine was made in a separate iron, far away from the other irons. My server changed his gloves, got out separate cooking utensils and when he accidentally touched a oven mitt on the counter another person used, he changed his gloves again. The waffle sandwich was delicious!
Delicious waffles. The server made sure to change gloves and was knowledgable about cc. They make the gf waffles earlier in the morning and keep them separated.
We really enjoyed this place. Felt comfortable easing here after reading their website. When I asked for gluten-free, they asked if it was allergy or dietary preference... which made me feel more comfortable. Food was delicious. Also tried the gluten free & vegan blueberry bar at the register... so good. Kinda wished I got two! Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely amazingly delicious! the waffles were so fluffy and they are very accommodating and conscious of gluten free.
Amazing! Huge selection of gluten free waffles. Have breakfast waffles and lunch. We had grilled cheeses, turkey with Brie, ham...and the works for dessert. The works has French vanilla ice cream, strawberries, Choctaw sauce, Carmel sauce and whipped cream! Separate cutting boards and knife. She also hanged her gloves. Owners wife has celiac so they understand it. Love this place!
Interesting concept. Good food. Not large portions for the $
Delicious GF waffles and lots of fun options!
Waffles were good and I did not get sick.
Gluten free waffles are awesome!!!! Great selection of GF waffles. Prepared on a separate cutting board and area. I would highly recommend this place even if you don't need to eat GF.
Had lunch here with my family (3 of 6 are gluten-free). There was one cook making all of our GF waffles on designated equipment, which eased my nerves, as I'm very sensitive to cross-contamination. We got a few savory sandwiches & dessert waffles & everything was super delicious! Service was also exceptional as one of our sandwiches was accidentally knocked off the table & a server, named Ice, immediately jumped on making a free replacement!
My GF waffle was totally separate, wrapped in plastic wrap and served all by same person! Waffle was very good and had with real maple syrup!
Delicious gluten free waffles!! The meat and eggs are also gluten free and contain no nitrates!!

text: We were asked to comment on an installation similar to the one pictured in the drawing. Half of the conductors coming in from the 24-duct bank turn out toward the reader, and the other half go the other way. In other words, the manhole is being used as a very large tee. Note that with the voltage over 600V, traditionally this type of work has belonged to the electric utilities. In this case, however,
