i'm done with the wiring for my project. ( 99 rs with a "02 wrx engine) but I HAVE A PROBLEM!! I can't match the wires in the cluster. Since i had to replace all teh stock wires with the ones from a WRX the stock cluster don;t match with the new wires. I was wondering if anyone has the manuals for the 99 RS. If anyone does i would trully apreetiate the graph from the cluster wires so i could match them with the wires for the WRX.
I have the manuals for the WRX and i was going to buy the manuals for the RS but they are way to expensive and after i;m done i won't need them again cause of the swap. Plaese help me out with this I'm dying to see my car running.My E_MAIL IS firstname.lastname@example.com or if it is easier me fax is (305)591-8966

UPDATE 2 : Will it be a white Christmas in West Seattle? Not this year
UPDATE Christmas Day 8:30am
The weather system that brought snow to the Kitsap peninsula and areas south of Seattle on Christmas morning couldn't chill down the temperatures enough to bring flakes of the white stuff to West Seattle. Temperatures at 8:30 am hovered around 42 degrees, ten more than freezing. The National Weather Service called for 100% chance of rain. Rain and showers were expected for the remainder of the week.
Original post
With the highest point in the city of Seattle at High Point at roughly 35th SW and SW Myrtle there's a good chance that at least overnight and into the early morning hours it could be a white Christmas in West Seattle.
That's the current prediction of the National Weather Service for our area. Conditions change of course but don't be surprised if you get up early Christmas morning and see the world dressed in white.
Here's the updated forecast as of Sunday morning-
Christmas Eve-
A chance of rain and snow after 4am. Snow level 1200 feet lowering to 600 feet. Increasing clouds, with a low around 35. East southeast wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Christmas Day-
Rain and snow, mainly after 10am. Snow level 600 feet. High near 41. East southeast wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 12 to 17 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Inclusion Criteria:
Participant Inclusion Criteria (Part 1 - Longitudinal Analysis)
CGD Patients Undergoing Transplant 1995 to Present with Birth Year In or After 1988
CGD Patients will be Defined by both Defective Neutrophil NADPH Oxidase Function and by Clinical History Consistent with CGD
Patients must have both of:
A functional assay demonstrating abnormal NADPH oxidase function (see A below); AND Clinical history consistent with CGD (see B below).
Patients must have BOTH "A" and "B":
A. Function: Assays of NADPH Oxidase Function
I. Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) Assay:
- Blood sample was obtained at a time when patient was clinically stable and not critically ill, with control samples performed simultaneously indicating a qualified assay; and
- Assay unequivocally demonstrates CGD with an stimulation index (SI) SI < 35 or equivalent. Assay report, including mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) from unstimulated and stimulated samples and gating strategy, must be de-identified and provided. OR
II. Nitroblue Tetrazolium Oxidation Test (NBT):
o Diagnostic of CGD (reported as reduced granulocyte oxidative response). Report must be de-identified and provided. AND
B. Clinical History: One or More of the Following:
- Severe and/or recurrent infection (liver, perirectal or lung abscess; pneumonia; adenitis; or osteomyelitis) due to, for example, Staphylococcus aureus, Burkholderia sp, Serratia marcescens, non-albicans Candida sp, Aspergillus sp or other mold; or Nocardia sp or other deep tissue infection characteristic of CGD
- Sterile granulomatous disease in respiratory, gastrointestinal or urogenital tracts; or Crohn's disease-like colitis
- A family history consistent with either X-linked or autosomal recessive CGD
In cases where either functional assay (A) or history (B) is equivocal, one or more of the following may be used to confirm a diagnosis of CGD:
C. Absent or significantly reduced in expression or abnormal size of any of the 5 phox components (gp91 phox, p47 phox, p22 phox, p67phox, and p40phox) of NADPH oxidase, by either:
- Western blot
- Northern blot OR D. Mutation in a gene encoding one of the 5 phox components (gp91 phox, p47 phox, p22 phox, p67 phox, and p40 phox) of NADPH oxidase that is predictive of a decreased or absent oxidative burst. (Nonsense, frameshift, or previously described missense mutation associated with CGD).
Molecular Diagnosis is Desirable In addition, molecular diagnosis (gene sequencing and expression analysis) of CGD is desirable and should be performed when possible.
Further Characterization of Oxidase Level, Longitudinal Study, Prospective Cohort Patients who are to undergo transplantation during the study period must be further characterized as oxidase-null or oxidase positive by level of oxidase production by either:
- DHR assay stimulation Index: where SI ≤ 2.5 will be classified as oxidase-null CGD. Those with SI > 2.5 will be classified as oxidase positive CGD. A single validated test that is accepted by the PID-CGD Review Panel is adequate, but testing on two occasions for validation is desirable. OR
- Ferricytochrome C reduction assay of granulocytes with O2 < 2.3 nmoles /106 cells/h classified as oxidase-null CGD. A single validated test that is accepted by the PID-CGD Review Panel is adequate, but testing on two occasions for validation is desirable.
o Genetic sequencing reporting a mutation that is unequivocally associated to absent oxidase production. (e.g. null mutations) will be classified as oxidase-null CGD (See discussion in Appendix I for how family history, genotype and CGD mutation information will be applied to assigning patients lacking any quantitative oxidase activity measurements to residual oxidase-null or residual oxidase-positive groups).
- Longitudinal Study, Retrospective Cohort Patients who have already been transplanted will be included regardless of whether further characterization by oxidase level (or genotype/mutation data) is possible or not.
- Non-Transplanted CGD Patients with Birth Year In or After 1988 A non-transplant (conventional therapy) group of CGD subjects will be enrolled in the longitudinal study. The non-transplant subjects will be selected from the potentially eligible (retrospective) patient cohort with diagnosis of CGD treated with conventional non-transplant therapy. Participating sites will enter their entire retrospective cohort of CGD patients having birth year in or after 1988 into the registration cohort for this protocol. Baseline for both non-transplant subjects and HCT subjects for the purpose of comparing survival will be the year of birth. However, for non-transplant subjects, many of the detailed analyses such as infection and autoimmune complication rates will be assessed in the year preceding the date of last contact.
- Participant Inclusion Criteria (Part 2 - Cross-Sectional Analysis) To participate in the Cross-Sectional Analysis, patients must have previously been enrolled into the Longitudinal Analysis of Protocol 6903. All transplanted subjects in the Cross-Sectional Analysis are surviving and shall have at least 3 years of follow-up post-transplant to be included. Non-transplanted CGD subjects will become eligible for consideration for the Cross-Sectional Analysis if they were eligible and enrolled in the retrospective cohort of the Longitudinal Analysis, and if/when they are > 3 years post-diagnosis of CGD. Provision of written informed consent will be required for inclusion in the Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participant Exclusion Criteria (Longitudinal and Cross- Sectional Analyses)
- Presence of other primary immunodeficiency syndromes that do not meet the clinical and laboratory criteria for CGD.
- Rac2 Deficiency
- Myeloperoxidase Deficiency (MPO Deficiency)
- Glutathione deficiency
- Leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome
Non-transplant subjects:
- The above exclusions pertain.
- In addition, non-transplant subjects will be excluded if the only assessment of oxidase function available is the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test (a non-quantitative test).

The Gainesville City Schools board of education has tabled a second reading of a policy for awarding units and transfer credits.
The request came from board member Delores Diaz, who voiced a concern over how high school-level courses taken in the eighth grade can impact grade-point averages.
"My objection was not to the policy but rather the procedure that goes along with it," Diaz said. "Last year (at high school graduation) we had quite a controversy. And it was caused by an anomaly in the procedure that allowed it.
"I just would like to see that remedied so it won't happen again, because it was a very difficult thing for us to go through last year."
Sarah Bell, director of academic programs and standards, explained these classes taken in middle school do not count toward a student's HOPE Scholarship eligibility, which is an example Diaz would like to see followed when calculating high school seniors' GPAs.
Still, Diaz said taking high school-level courses in middle school is a "great opportunity."
"I would encourage (students) to go ahead and take those classes in the eighth grade, because that would free up some slots for them in high school to take more advanced courses," she said. "But we don't want to negate the opportunity by having that student penalized for having taken the course in the eighth grade."
Board member David Syfan asked if there would be an issue in delaying implementation of the policy, which includes information on how students can "test out" of certain classes by taking the End of Course Tests.
"At this point, we have had no requests for EOCT testing out," Bell replied, going on to clarify there was one inquiry but the student was not eligible.
The board approved tabling the final decision on the policy.
Separately, New Holland Core Knowledge and Enota Multiple Intelligences academies join Fair Street School this year in becoming professional development schools, partnering with nearby universities to bring education majors into the classrooms.
Fair Street has had a partnership for 10 years with Brenau University education majors. This year, New Holland and Enota are partnering with University of North Georgia students.
"I don't (know) what more to say than we are thrilled to have a partnership with the University of North Georgia," said Pam Wood, principal of New Holland. "We have had eight students from them who have been with me since preplanning, and we have put them to work. They have already seen real school."
In addition to completing classwork on campus, the college students will also spend time in the classroom, getting hands-on training time with teachers and students.
"It is nice to have more people to help influence the education of our children," said Enota Principal Matt Maynor.

Supplier lead-times lengthened again in May, but the latest deterioration in vendor performance was the least marked since January. Manufacturers that reported longer supplier delivery times generally cited low stocks at vendors.May data signalled a further moderation in input cost inflation from the near three-year high recorded during March. Although still strong, the pace of input price inflation eased to its lowest in four months. Higher cost burdens again contributed to a robust increase in output charges across the manufacturing sector in May. Regional highlights include:
- All four regions recorded an overall improvement in business conditions…
- …but Quebec was the only region to register faster output growth than in April
- Job creation was also strongest in Quebec
- Input cost inflation slowed in May across all four regions monitored by the survey

Georgia Softball Advances to Semifinals at SEC Tournament
May 10, 2012
ATHENS, Ga. - The No. 4 seed Georgia Bulldogs advanced to the semifinal round of the 2012 Southeastern Conference Softball Tournament with a 6-4 win over fifth-seeded Kentucky on Thursday afternoon in Tuscaloosa, Ala. With the win, Georgia moves to 41-14 on the season, while Kentucky falls to 29-28.
Erin Arevalo picked up the win to move to 23-6 on the season. In 5.2 innings of work, she allowed just one run on four hits and struck out three. Morgan Montemayor pitched 1.1 innings of relief allowing three runs, two of which were earned on three hits, while striking out one. Kentucky's Chanda Bell suffered the loss to fall to 16-11 on the year. She gave up six earned runs on four hits and a walk, while striking out one in two innings of work. Rachel Riley threw four innings of relief, scattering four hits and striking out three Bulldog batters.
Kristyn Sandberg, who went 1-for-2 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and was hit by a pitch, led the Georgia offense. Sandberg also came around to score two runs. Paige Wilson and Gracie Goulder each picked up two hits, with Wilson scoring a run and driving in one.
Georgia jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a two-run double by Ashley Razey. Wilson singled with two away for Sandberg, who was hit by a pitch. With two on and two outs, Razey powered the 2-1 pitch to left center to score Wilson and Sandberg.
The Bulldogs added four runs on two hits, including a three-run home run off the bat of Sandberg, in the bottom of the second. Goulder led off the inning with a single to shallow center. Anna Swafford drew a walk to put runners at first and second. With two outs, Ashley Pauly was hit by a pitch to load the bases for Wilson, who hit a sacrifice fly to score Goulder from third to make it a 3-0 game. Sandberg then took the first pitch she saw deep over the scoreboard in left center for a three-run home run that gave Georgia a 6-0 lead.
Kentucky's Brittany Cervantes made it a 6-1 game in the top of the fourth with a home run to centerfield. Arevalo retired the next three batters in order to keep Georgia's lead at five runs.
The Wildcats strung together three straight hits in the top of the seventh to make it a 6-3 game. Riley led off the inning with a single through the left side. Griffin Joiner followed with an infield single that put two aboard for Alice O'Brien, who doubled off the centerfield wall to score the two runs. The Wildcats tacked on a run with a RBI-single by Emily Jolly to cut the lead to 6-4. Arevalo reentered the game to record the final two outs and seal the 6-4 Georgia win.
Georgia will take on the winner of the Alabama vs. Mississippi State game tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPNU, with audio coverage at www.georgiadogs.com.

some very entertaining stories here.
couple of weeks ago i was on the door with another guy but he was halfway down the stairs trying to clear up an access problem (girls like to stop in front of the mirror on the landing halfway down the stairs blocking the way past.)
A guy staggered up to the door, clearly one of the most drunk-yet-still-standing people i had ever seen in my life, he flashed his hand stamp at me to indicate he had already paid entry, but i had to knock him back for having had too much.
He was in no state to argue, i think processing oxygen was taking up all his functioning ability, so he wandered off up the road. the road up is a gentle rise, you wouldn't call it a hill, but this guy started to really struggle with the insignificant gradient.
I dont think he realised that he was leaning back so far, obviously off balanced by this, the gentlest of slopes. So for every two or three steps forward he ended up having to take one or two steps back to catch himself and avoid falling over backwards.
This made his progress up the road VERY slow, and incredibly humerous, and i shouted for my colleague to hurry up and join me back at the door, lest he miss the funniest thing that had happened on the door in a long while. still dealing with two girls standing in front of the mirror, and a couple of guys sat at the bottom of the stairs, it took him several minutes for him to join me as i, meanwhile had to hold my side to avoid the pain i was in from laughing so hard at this guys slow progress up the road, and the confused look on his face caused by his own effort-to-distance ratio.
my colleague arrived just as he disapeared around the corner and was gutted that he missed it. i stared at the corner for a few seconds trying to gather myself enough to find the words to explain how funny it was when the drunk guy suddenly staggered backwards into view around the corner, he seemed to be gaining speed as he windmilled his legs backwards trying to find his balance, perhaps something about the slope coupled with the deceptive angle of the corner had clearly got the better off him, because he kept going backwards until he crashed into a nearby bin.
As he crashed into the bin backwards the impact lifted him off his feet, so there he was the small of his back supported by the bin top, looking up into space, with his arms and legs kicking and flailing about looking for purchase on a surface that was beyond his reach, he looked like a tortoise stuck on its back.
We laughed so hard i had tears in my eyes.

Letting Your House "Breathe"
We all know that an airtight house isn't good if absolutely no outside air circulates in. With winter in full swing though, how do you keep the house "breathing" while not running up your heating bill at the same time?
The way my kids are about closing doors....my house gets plenty of fresh air.
Airing your home out for half an hour, if the doors do not open and close a lot, will not make that much difference in the HVAC bill.
Homes used to leak enough air that they stayed healthy in winter. I lived in a brand new building that was so airlocked it was sick albeit nicely designed otherwise. My aunt and uncle live in a lovely place on the Wisconsin/Minnesota border with a patented, adjustable flow through venitlation system. If we are going to wrap homes tight in Tyvek or whatever that is what we should include in the design.
If your house is that sealed it should have a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) installed and it must be run all the time.
I think the breathing concept is way overrated. Like the "need to change the air" concept. Its another sacred cow.
Its as if changing the air will prevent the Bubonic Plague. Dont worry about it very much.....
When we built our house about 7 years ago, the HVAC contractor installed an intake vent on the rim joist and connected a 6" round duct to the return air duct. There's a balancing damper at the intake so you can adjust how much fresh air comes in when the furnace runs.
In theory it works fine, however, I found that I would get condensation on the ductwork when temps would drop below 0F. I closed the damper and haven't noticed any ill effects since. No need to pay to heat outside air if my home has enough leakage already.
We have 100% electric heat, so no air exchange there. We also have a Venmar air exchange unit with its own duct work that runs on low all winter. We push a button and it goes on high for 20 min. It removes moisture from the air, and exchanges inside air for outside air. It has an inline heater that will heat the incoming air if need. Without AC, summer is another issue:furious:
The straight air intake is heat/cool waster. The fresh air just comes in and needs to be conditioned. With an HRV the fresh air picks up the heat from the the stale air. Reverse in the summer. It picks up up the cool.

Preseason steps, stumbles resonate beyond a necessary result
The result was significant because, believe it or not, their recent history dictated that the Steelers needed to win at least one game this preseason.
That sounds stupid but with this team at this time that, as the great Bill Cowher might have put it, was where the Steelers were at.
It was even brought up unsolicited in the locker room a couple of times after the Steelers' 19-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night.
The components that comprised the Steelers' first preseason triumph since 2012 were a bigger deal.
Here's a smattering of reaction to a few of those:
WR Markus Wheaton on his 16-yard touchdown reception: "I was at the end of the progression so (QB Ben Roethlisberger) went through it all, ended up at me, it just happened to be there. I had off coverage, one-on-one. They rolled the coverage to (WR) Antonio (Brown). I had off coverage, post-corner, perfect ball, good protection, it was there.
"Any time you get on the field you want to make plays, you want to score touchdowns, you want to impact the game, you want to help the team regardless if it's a preseason game or a real game. The same with winning, anytime you touch the field you want to win regardless of if it counts or not.
"I want to build (Ben's) trust. I think plays like that will do that for me."
QB Bruce Gradkowski on the performance of Roethlisberger and the first-team offense running the no-huddle: "That's Ben's game. He does a great job with the no huddle. He has a great feel for the game. The offensive line gave him great protection and A.B. (Brown) is doing what A.B. does (a 76-yard catch-and-run touchdown) and that's exciting to see."
CB Ike Taylor on the play of the first-team defense: "We started off kind of slow. Can't start off slow, gotta start out straight from the gate. Once we got in tune and wound up we made our plays, but we have to start out of the gate fast."
LB Ryan Shazier (nine tackles, two special teams tackles, one interception) on whether he picked up where he left off after missing about a week and a half of training camp due to a boo-boo on his knee: "I'm not going to say that. I could definitely feel where I left off. I'm not in condition the way I need to be. I have to keep working and continue trying to learn this defense more and more so I can help out this team more and more."
RB Dri Archer on whether he can consistently create big plays in the passing game, as he did on a 40-yard screen: "Yeah, definitely, that's what I'm in the game for, to make something happen."
DE Cam Heyward on whether the defense "shot itself in the foot" fewer times than it had in the preseason opener against the New York Football Giants: "Not with all those penalties. There are things we can still clean up."
LB Vic So'oto, after inducing a fumble that was ultimately recovered by LB Howard Jones for the second consecutive game, on whether it's more important to force a fumble or recover one: "I don't think you can recover a fumble without it being forced, right?"

I had an opposite experience to Morgan - except it seems we agree on the chocolate chip cookie being fantastic - but I actually think a lot of stuff on their menu is very good. I don't know what thing they had to make someone want to spit it out but I haven't had anything like that at all. I will agree that most of the food arrives looking very unappetizing but It seems like it is because of the vacuum bags more than anything. I was just looking up more info about them because I finished my starter kit and wanted some ideas on hat to order next and this site has so many mixed reviews. It's like a love it or hate it product. Well, I guess I'm in the love it category because there are a few things that I will order in bulk just to always have them around. Namely the Kung Pao, the cookies(all of the BTW), the tortilla soup, the enchiladas, and the mac and cheese.
Just had to post a review of this place...
Let me start by saying I'm not vegan, though I'm sort of vegetarian most of the time. That said, I've eaten and cooked a ton of vegan food in my life (being from Berkeley will do that to you).
This was, hands down, some of THE worst I've ever had. Most of it was flavorless, and whatever wasn't flavorless tasted disgusting.
A good (vegetarian) friend of mine took one bite and literally ran to the bathroom to spit it out.
I expected a lot of well-seasoned, flavorful food with a lot of vegetables. What I got was a few sad bags of greyish brown, nearly inedible ... stuff.
Seriously NOT worth the money.
Oh -- I almost forgot -- the chocolate chip cookie was pretty good.
I got the Slim down back in June when it was called the Summer Slim Down and it ACTUALLY worked. I followed it to a letter and I lost eight pounds in three weeks. The food was sometimes good sometimes ok and sometimes bad depending on the dish. But everything was edible and the results were proof enough.
I am vegan and will eat literally anything vegan, and I'm very eager to promote vegan companies but I could barely eat some of these things. While most things contained tons of protein eat item was loaded with fat and there wasn't a whole grain or vegetable (except maybe two broccoli florets) to be found. I was very disappointed - the idea is great but in terms of flavor and health there is tons of room for improvement.
This is my first time using gobble green but it will not be my last. I ordered a couple of things after a friend of mine recommended them as a way to kick start a vegetarian lifestyle. I am not vegan, but after watching some documentary about slaughtering animals I just can�??t eat meat. This is a big change, but something I feel I must do. Ordering food that I know is vegan to help me start this was great. I love the breakfast and am getting used to the other meals. The tortilla soup was the first meal I ate and though it was not as filling as my normal burger and fries, it tasted pretty good. I think Gobble Green will help me get moving in the right direction. I will definitely use them again! The only problem I can for see is that using them will get expensive.
I was one of the starter kit purchasers from Living Social and I haven't loved everything but the value is great. It did take a long time to come (2 weeks) but I liked most of what was in there. Not a fan of the breakfast bar but the chocolate chip pancakes were to die for. Seriously decadent. There were a lot of things that were pretty good but were made perfect with salsa or a little pepper. All in all I would do it again when it popped up in my neck of the woods. Thumbs up from me.
They threatened to sue me for fraud and send my unpaid order for collection if I protested the $241charge on my credit card. They lost the order and refused to give me a refund (order would be useless - I ordered so I could lose a few lbs before vacation) and sent a long threatening email when I said I'd protest the charge. TOXIC COMPANY!!!!
This is the best meal delivery service out there. I get that meal delivery isn�??t for everyone but imo Gobble Green is a real lifesaver and it provides such a great service for busy people who are health conscious and who care about animals. The prices are reasonable, the food is yummy and everyone I�??ve spoken to over there has been nothing but nice.
Gobble Green is pretty good. I actually like all of the meals in my kit from Living Social except for the BBQ seitan. But, I will say that the key to Gobble Green is not nuking the food. Sometimes the instructions they provided on the meal labels had me overcooking the products. Maybe it was my microwave, maybe it was the instructions, I don�??t know. But, if you just monitor how much you heat the food then everything comes out really good. Much better than other frozen food, you can tell it hasn�??t been sitting in a warehouse. I think it�??s tasty and convenient and it prevents me from overeating. Two thumbs up.
I received my kit today and I think this is so much fun! It came all frozen with a lot of dry ice still in the box. Each item has its own label with nutritional information.Very cool. I transferred it all to the freezer and then shared two of the meals with my husband. We are both full and the food was really good. I had bbq seitan and vegetable paella. The seitan was hearty and flavorful and the seitan was really good. It was a vegetable and rice mix with these tiny chunks of "chicken" in it. The whole thing had a kind of creamy texture. Very delicious. I'll post more as I try it.
The meals actually made me sick. As in a GI sort of way. I didn't want to believe it but the day before I was sick I didn't eat anything except two of the meals. Fast forward two weeks and me not believing it that it made me sick and me eating the last meal I had: the tofu stir fry. Sick. If you're reading this then consider yourself warned before buying a good online deal.
Gobble Green is fantastic. I have lost 5 pounds eating their food just ordering a la carte for one meal per day and it is all so tasty and the portions are perfect. And the customer service has never been bad at all for me. In fact, I have the direct line to a personal representative named Cassandra over there and she is always totally helpful whenever I have questions, at least so far she is really great. And if you want to splurge a little�??omg, the fettuccine alfredo is beyond amazing :)
Well, I ordered a week supply of Gobble Green food from a Living Social deal�?�$125, I believe. And Day 3 of my food choices and I must say that I am NOT impressed. I am a vegan and have been for over 15 years, so I know good vegan food. This stuff was hard, cardboard like and most dishes tasted really vinegary. I even got a tummy ache twice. The desserts were like 3 day old bakery goods, with an apple or banana undertone. I had to throw pretty much everything I ate. Even my kid, who loves food - esp desserts - would not eat it. I am sadly disappointing. I really wanted to like this and support what they are doing, but I just can�??t stomach the food. Sorry.
Horrible customer service. The one out of two orders that I actually received contained items that I never ordered and omitted nearly half of what I did order. They do not reply to emails or phone calls promptly and have still not refunded my money for the second order that never arrived. BEWARE!
Just wanted to drop a note to let people know that I have been ordering from Gobble green for almost six months and I am consistently satisfied with their offerings. Now, I am a vegan and a very picky person so I have only ordered things individually or by 4 or dozen. I have never gotten a kit or a meal plan, even though I see their ads for it in my inbox all the time. I have favorites from them just like some of my favorite restaurants and home cooked meals. Old favorites include Kung Pao, Mac and Cheese, Chili, muffins, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and Tortilla soup. I also really love the paella and the enchiladas for some recently added items. I have only received sub par items once and they quickly corrected the error (someone didn't put enough dry ice in the box so they reshipped). All in all, it's been very good so far.
Horrible, that one word sums it up, but I will go on to say that I am vegan and not a picky person. The food was almost inedible, many items in my box were missing labels and I had no clue what they were. Everything was dry and tasteless. I am going to try and contact the company for a partial reimbursement.
My BF bought a deal for me to have while he was gonna be gone and I thought this was the bomb. vegetable pella was straight up sick. So was the kung pao. Im def gonna have to order some more of this with some chocolate cookies. mmm-mmm. Sorry for the mispells. written from phone. From shanique with mystique.
I got the same deal through groupon but it was only $129 with shipping and I thought everything was pretty tasty. I didn't get anywhere close to the same menu as the last person but I liked a few of the things she didn't. Like the brownie, maybe it was from a different batch, was like fudge. So good! Also, the muffin was like the best thing ever. The scrambled eggs needed a little salt but they were pretty good too. I would agree with most people on here that the majority of their items are good and a few are bad. I still say the kit was worth it to try. I was thinking about one of their things where you pick what you want so I could only get the good stuff. Like the kung pao. <---amazing.
I bought their food through a group on and had spent almost $200 and it was terrible. 1. Green Chili- tasted tangy and funky
2. Green Beans and potatoes had raw potatoes that were hard as rocks 3. Curry soup was just yellow water and tofu-- no flavor whatsoever 4. Banana nut muffin was raw in middle 5. Peanut butter bar was flavorless 6. Brownie was really dried out 7. Scrambled eggs had a funky after taste 8. Carrot muffin was completely dried out
I contacted customer service who said they would credit me back for the meals however they never did and now after two mos. and 4 voice mails and 4 emails I can't get them to call back. I would never order from again. Buyer Beware!
Just got my kit last week and I couldn't be happier so far! I have always been a vegetarian and am trying to go vegan as much as possible lately and the stress of not having to read labels at the grocery store is gone. I work long hours so this works for me so far because I don't have much time to cook or shop so I can just come home and throw something in the micro. I am not eating it as they suggest because I am not eating their lunches at lunch time. I am using them for dinner. Also, I have only had two of the breakfasts so far because I have to leave in the morning so early. Anyway, very convenient and pretty good. Much better than microwaveable store bought meals anyway.

text: Human Relations Committee to honor 4 for Human and Civil Rights Awards The MTA Human Relations Committee will honor four extraordinarily talented and dedicated individuals at its annual Human and Civil Rights dinner on Friday, June 20. The dinner recognizes MTA members and others who have shown long-standing commitments to civil rights and human relations. Reservations for the dinner, to be held at the Westin Waltham-Boston, can be made here. The recipient of this year's Louise Gaskins Lifetime Civil Rights Award will be George R. Spivey, a retired educator and a member of NAACP-Cape Cod and Concerned Black Men. Recipients of this year's Kathleen Roberts Creative Leadership Award will be Kelvin Ing and Amy Lipkind of the Cape Cod Challenger Club, and Worcester educator and screenwriter Caitlin McCarthy. George Spivey is a former school principal and teacher of math and history in Falmouth and Barnstable Public Schools. He also served as the town of Falmouth's affirmative action officer for 13 years. In each of these roles, he displayed "compassion and leadership, inspiring people to reach for high goals with dignity and respect," said MTA Retired member John L. Reed, who nominated Spivey for the award. Spivey has developed internships and mentoring programs that promote racial harmony and equity for all, and even though he is now retired, he still tutors young people and chairs the No Place for Hate Committee. MTA Board member Susan Baker, another nominator, said Spivey has "dedicated his life to enriching all children's lives," especially minority students on the Cape "who needed guidance and encouragement." Baker said Spivey "continues his work with students," showing them that career opportunities are open "and that there is a future for them if they persevere and achieve their goals." In January 2014, Spivey accepted the Falmouth Clergy Association's first award for human rights work and community leadership. Kelvin Ing and Amy Lipkind are the founders of the Cape Cod Challenger Club, which has become a vital support for parents of special needs children on Cape Cod. What started as an effort to integrate special needs students into the Sandwich Little League program has blossomed into a year-round program servicing over 300 students, as well as nearly the same number of "typical" students who serve as mentors, role models and counselors. The Challenger Club "serves as a beacon of inspiration" to everyone associated with the program, according to nominator Kelli Donehey, a Title I math teacher at Barnstable Intermediate School. The club's weekend programs serve not only as a respite for parents but as a vital networking opportunity for families, and as learning opportunities — both socially and emotionally — for the students served. Dale Forest, another nominator and vice principal of Barnstable United Elementary School, said that while Ing and Lipkind have no special needs children of their own, they saw a need and filled it. When Forest attended his first baseball game organized for physically and developmentally disabled children, he "stood next to two parents who were ecstatic. The husband told me he never thought he'd see the day when he'd be watching his son play baseball." Reaction to the initial effort was so positive, Ing and Lipkind went on to found the nonprofit Cape Cod Challenger Club in 2005. Caitlin McCarthy is an English language arts teacher at Worcester Technical High School and screenwriter of the film "Wonder Drug," which tells the story of DES (diethylstilbestrol), once thought to be a ground-breaking synthetic form of estrogen that instead became one of the most devastating medical disasters in history. McCarthy's interest is personal; her mother, unaware of the risks, took DES when she was pregnant. When McCarthy discovered in 2005 that she had been exposed to the drug in utero, she researched DES and its potential ramifications: a rare vaginal cancer in DES daughters, and an increase in the risk of breast cancer in DES daughters and testicular cancer in DES sons. Rather than turn inward in fear, McCarthy began to educate others about DES. In addition to writing the screenplay for the film, McCarthy worked with the offices of Massachusetts Senators John Kerry and Scott Brown, obtaining FDA acknowledgment of the drug's devastating health consequences. Nominator Andrea Goldstein, another DES daughter, said McCarthy "has made selfless contributions through political action, community organizing and mentoring" and that she has "served the global DES community in a volunteer role."

Lemon-Olive Grilled Chicken
- Cooking spray
- 4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- 1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
- 1/4 cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Prepare grill.
2. Coat grill with cooking spray. Place chicken on grill. Cook 5 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through. Combine 1 teaspoon lemon rind with mustard; brush over chicken.
3. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the couscous. Remove from heat; cover, let stand 5 minutes.
4. In a bowl, combine remaining lemon rind, olives, and remaining ingredients. Stir couscous into olive mixture. Spoon onto 4 plates; top with chicken.
Wine note: With its rustic spiciness and zingy acidity, no other grape goes better with olives than sangiovese, the grape in Italian Chianti. So look for a good Chianti such as Da Vinci (around $16).
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time: Grill this chicken then give it an appetizing upgrade by pairing it with a perfectly flavored lemon and olive mixture. It's the perfect dish for summer!
- Yield: Makes 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half, 2/3 cup couscous)

OPEC looks to other producers
Page Tools
OPEC ministers who meet in Iran this week are likely to maintain the current output ceiling, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries president Sheikh Ahmad Fahd al-Sabah said on Saturday, stressing the cartel would take measures to stabilise soaring oil prices.
"I think we will continue with the same ceiling [of 27 million barrels per day]," he told reporters when asked what he expected OPEC to do when it meets in Isfahan on Wednesday.
"We have to be very careful because there is still overproduction," said Sheikh Ahmad, also Kuwait's energy minister.
But he said the 11-nation cartel would "study the market situation with the aim to stabilise prices and market supply".
"I think if prices will continue like this, OPEC will behave like [it did] in 2004 and we will make sure we have to do something to stabilise prices.
"Until now, prices are still high and there are indications there is a little increase in demand, especially from China ... [but] I don't think there is a shortage in the market."
Sheikh Ahmad said the meeting would also consider whether or not to sanction unofficial overproduction.
"OPEC will work to stabilise prices either by maintaining the ceiling or allowing overproduction to continue ... I believe that all are overproducing," he said.
The Middle East Economic Survey estimated in its February 28 edition that OPEC production rose by 150,000 bpd to 29.35 million bpd in January.
Crude oil prices resumed their upward trend on Friday after the International Energy Agency predicted global demand this year would be stronger than earlier forecasts.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in April, gained US89c to $US54.43 a barrel in closing deals.
In London, the price of Brent North Sea crude oil for delivery in April added US44c to close at $US53.10.
The IEA said it expected demand growth of 2.2 per cent - or 1.8 million bpd - from its previous forecast of a 1.8 per cent increase.
The report said demand for oil this year would be 330,000 bpd higher than expected because of cold weather, expected robust growth in the US and consumption in China.
The OPEC chief said the cartel had invited non-OPEC producers to attend the Isfahan meeting in a bid to jointly help calm the market.
"It's not the responsibility of OPEC alone. It should be a joint responsibility of OPEC and non-OPEC. All parties should co-operate," he said.
Sheikh Ahmad said he had initiated contact with non-OPEC producers and three had so far agreed to attend.
"We have already started communicating with some non-OPEC members ... If they have the capacity ... and the market will need more production, I think we will discuss with them to increase their production," he said.
Sheikh Ahmad said OPEC had to gauge each member's capacity and decide what the organisation, including Iraq, could pump into the market.
He said OPEC had present spare production capacity of 2 million bpd.
