40 minutes Connection timeDec 26, 20122Hi, I will arrive from Dayton, Ohio on the 28th Dec at 11.33am on United Express UA 5766. Then , I will have to catch a connecting flight to Singapore on UA 803 AT 12.20pm. I have only 40 minutes to go to my next flight.Can you tell me which terminals will I be using and advise me on the best way to go to the UA international terminal.Thank you.***Mon, Dec 24Can's tell you ahead of time which gate you arrive at & depart from at IAD - United uses Midfield Concourses A, B, C & D with corresponding gates. On arrival, look at overhead screens to find your connecting flight and gate number; follow signs TO BAGGAGE CLAIM/ GROUND TRANSPORTATION - domestic arrivals at A, B or C gates should follow the AeroTrain sign. The train runs continuously from the main terminal to the center of each of the 3 midfield concourses A/B & C/D; D gates, however, are not served by the train, but by a shuttle bus departing at Main Terminal & A gates (at A6) and arriving between D15-21 & D9-11. Also C gates C1-30 are connected by walkway to D gates D1-32. Either way, 40 mins transfer time will suffice.

connectionSep 8, 20121Hi , am arriving by virgin VS21 from Heathrow at 15.10 hrs on 15 th dec by business class.have to catch united UA 419 to orlando at 17.35 . pl guide on way to domestic terminal and whether 145 mins are enough--i have a family including my mom who will be on wheel chair(she is 81 years old--we are on a vacationsunnySat, Sep 81.The first thing you will need to do is contact Virgin of any special needs your mother may have, including wheelchair. If bringing along her own wheelchair also ask about their policy getting it on the plane. Furthermore, ask if Virgin will transfer bags to United - if not, you would have to check bags in at the UA counter prior to continuing to your next flight. 2. As international arrivals in the U.S., you & your family will need to go through passport check, pick up bags, and go through customs clearance; then re-check-in bags where indicated. 3. You arrive at Virgin Atlantic at Concourse A and need to transfer to the United flight at either Concourses A, B or C (domestic United gates). On arrival you will board the shuttle to US Customs, and take the shuttle thereafter to your departing concourse & gate. You have enough time. (look at your ticket and on arrival at overhead screens to find your connecting concourse & gate.sasep12Sat, Sep 8

Please advise on the fastest way to get to my gate.satomiWed, Sep 5You will arrive at IAD at either of the domestic Midfield Conourses A - C and will depart from international Concourse C. Note that C gates C1-30 & D gates D1-32 are connected by a walkway, and a shuttle takes you from gate A6 arriving between D gates 15-21 & 9-11. (D gates cannot be accessed by train). You have plenty of time.thsep12Thu, Sep 6

Will I make this flight?Jun 25, 20121I am scheduled to get arrive from Syracuse at 21;00 (assuming no delays) and get my connecting flight to Manchester England at 22:16. I am disabled and can only walk slowly and am worried I will not make my Manchester flight...any advice is most welcome.MariaMon, Jun 251. Dulles Airport is not easy to get around. Its Main Terminal has connected Z gates. Thereafter the Midfield concourses follow as three separate buildings divided by A & B gates, C & D gates, and (gates under construction). Only A, B & C gates are connected by underground Aero Train, while D gates are served by shuttle bus near gate A6. Your ticket should indicate which gates you arrive at/ depart from, i.e., A6, B63, C14, D29 - also look on arrival at overhead screens for your departing flight number, gate & time. 2. Follow signs 'TO BAGGAGE CLAIM / GROUND TRANSPORTATION'; domestic arrivals at A, B or C gates should follow the AeroTrain sign. The train runs in a continuous loop from main terminal's post-security area at the center of the midfield concourses A/B & C/D and takes only minutes. Mobile lounge shuttle takes you to gates D1-32. If you feel that you need wheelchair assistance - contact your airline, or your flight attendant. You have enough time though to get on your own from gate to gate. Good luck!mojun12Mon, Jun 25
Changing terminalsJun 20, 20121Hi I would like to meet my dearest friend in IAD. He is travelling from charlotte to Doha and there is connecting flight in IAD. I am planning to travel from Boston to IAD. Can I meet him at inside IAD. My question is Let say my friend arrived to D terminal and I arrived to A terminal. Will there be any security check in IAD when changing from one terminal to another terminal. Please provide me information on this.***Wed, Jun 20Your & your friend's arrival at IAD depends on the Airline you take. The Main terminal - at its non-secured areas (Arrival, parts of Departure levels) is the only place you both can meet. Arrivals or departures are in either Z, A, B, C & D Concourses. Arriving passengers: Follow signs 'TO BAGGAGE CLAIM / GROUND TRANSPORTATION'; domestic arrivals at A, B or C gates should follow the AeroTrain sign. Near Ground Transportation is an Information counter where you may want to meet. Thereafter, if your connecting gates are either A or B you can walk to that concourse, or takethe underground Aerotrain to Concourses/gates A1-32, B35-79 & C1-30. For D gates you need to take a shuttle. For detailed information, open www.ifly.com/iad & click on "Terminal Map" under QUICK LINKS, scroll down to the description. If your friend uses Qatar on flight to Doha, I see a listing as being in the Main Terminal.wejun12Wed, Jun 20
Transit TimeJun 5, 20121Hello. I reach Wasington Dulles Airport at 1500hrs and have a connection to Las Vegas on United at 2030hrs. Will I have enough time to take a taxi to downtown for an hour and come back again in time for the United flight, considering my bags would be through checked in from my International departure airport?DeveshTue, Jun 51. IAD is 26 miles from Washington center. Arriving domestic flights and flights from airports with U.S. border preclearance are serviced directly at the concourses, while flights arriving from any other airport are processed through the International Arrivals Building (IAB). (If you are an international arrival, that process would take you 35-50 mins. 2. During the busiest airport hours of 5:30am - 8am, 11am - 1pm, and 3:30pm - 5:30pm, it is advisable to arrive at the Main Terminal no later than two hours prior to scheduled domestic flights and three hours for international flights. 3. United serves Concourses A through D with corresponding gates (i.e., B35). I would not advise you to leave the Airport. To familiarize yourself with layout and transfer options, open www.ifly.com/iad and click on "Quick Links" - "Terminal Map"; under the map are details and how to get around.tujun12Tue, Jun 5
ConnectionMay 10, 20121Hi there. I am arriving on a United Airlines flight from Boston arriving at 16h04 and have to connect to a SAA flight departing at 17h40.Is this enough time?Linda NelThu, May 10While United uses at IAD Midfield Concourses A, B, C & D (look at your ticked for your gate number - i.e., A32) while South African Airways uses Concourse B. While you can walk between Concourses A & B, you need to take the AeroTrain to C gates. D gates are only served by shuttle (mainly used for arrivals). As arriving passenger, follow signs "to Baggage claim / Ground Transportation" - then domestic arrivals at A, B or C gates should follow AeroTrain sign. You have enough time.thapr12Thu, May 10

With a record 243 media members voting at SEC Media Days, the Crimson Tide was the heavy favorite in 2013. Alabama received 225 first-place votes to win the SEC West Division and 182 votes to finish as kings of the SEC for the second consecutive year.
Problem is, no team has won back-to-back SEC championships during the Bowl Championship Series era (since 1998).
In the West, Texas A&M (11 first-place votes) finished second, while LSU (7) was picked third. Ole Miss was fourth, Auburn fifth, Mississippi State sixth and Arkansas seventh.
Georgia (149) was selected to repeat as SEC East champs, while South Carolina (75) and Florida (19) were picked second and third, respectively. They were followed by Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky.
Another bright spot for the Tide was having 16 players on the Preseason Media Days All-SEC Team, including four offensive and three defensive players on the first team.
On offense, running back T.J. Yeldon, wide receiver Amari Cooper and offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio and Anthony Steen earned first-team honors.
Defensively, linebacker C.J. Mosley and defensive backs Haha Clinton-Dix and Deion Belue were selected.
The second team included quarterback AJ McCarron, punter Cody Mandell and five defensive players --- defensive lineman Jeoffrey Pagan, Xzavier Dickson and Ed Stinson, linebacker Adrian Hubbard and safety Vinnie Sunseri. Tight end Brian Vogler and linebacker Trey DePriest were selected to the third team.
Auburn got six All-SEC picks, none on the first team. The second team included running back Tre Mason, center Reese Dismukes, defensive end Dee Ford and kicker Cody Parkey. Cornerback Chris Davis and punter Steven Clark made the third team.

Lakewood — The community is invited to celebrate the grand opening of two new elementary schools at Joint Base Lewis-McChord at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 16.
Carter Lake and Hillside elementary schools are the first two schools in the nation to be completed as a result of the Military Child Education Initiative funded by the Department of Defense. The schools also received funding from Washington state's school construction assistance program.
Wednesday's celebration of both schools, which opened this year, takes place at Carter Lake. It's located at McChord Field. The event will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony and self-guided tours of Carter Lake. The event ends at 7 p.m.
Special guests include former Congressman Norm Dicks, Lt. Gen. Robert Brown, commanding general, I Corps; Joint Base Commander Col. Charles Hodges Jr. and Col. David Kumashiro, commander of the 62nd Airlift Wing.
The celebration will be at 3420 Lincoln Boulevard at McChord Field. Parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged. Visitor passes may be obtained at the McChord visitor center, exit 125 from Interstate 5. (Obtaining a pass may take longer on busy days, so plan accordingly).
In 2006, the Clover Park School District, which operates the on-base schools, began a partnership with Lewis-McChord to evaluate conditions of the six elementary schools on base. The study raised awareness of failing school infrastructures on military bases across the country and prompted Congress to appropriate money to fix many of them.
Carter Lake has a capacity of 500 students and Hillside accommodates 650, and each is built with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. Three other Lewis-McChord schools -- Clarkmoor, Greenwood and Beachwood -- received funding as well. Construction of Clarkmoor and Greenwood is underway, and groundbreaking for Beachwood is scheduled for June 2014.

OURAY – The Ouray Livery Stables horseback riding operation has moved from its old location at the historic stable on Main Street, Ouray, to the outskirts of town on Old School Road. The move is just in time for the family-owned business's 40th anniversary.
"We spent 39 years in that spot in Ouray," said owner Sherry Petersen. "I grew up in that barn. I've been there since I was a little kid." Petersen's parents, Jeralyn and Howard Linscott, bought the livery business in 1968 from Wayne Flowers.
Last August, Petersen received a notice from the facility's owners that they had decided not to renew the lease. The notice initiated a search for a suitable site, and after a few dead ends, Petersen received an offer from some folks who had heard of her plight through their church.
"It was not real easy to find a spot to move to; we just really lucked out when these people came and offered us their place," she said.
After months of work readying the site, the new Ouray Livery Stables opens this week at 12 Old School Road, east of U.S. Hwy. 550 across from the KOA turnoff. They plan to continue taking people for one-hour, two-hour, half-day, and full-day trail rides on all their old trails: Portland, Baldy, Cutler, Dexter, Oak Creek, and Horsethief.
"We're a little bit nervous," Petersen said. "It's always hard when you're at a new place, and with the tourism this year, we just don't know what's going to happen. We'll just have to find out like everybody else."
Just because the horseback riding operation is gone, however, doesn't mean there'll be no more horses in Ouray. The stable's owners, Lezah and Tim Saunders, plan to operate historical sightseeing carriage rides out of the facility. They have two Belgian draft horses, a few mules, a carriage, and a six-seat surrey – a light four-wheeled carriage – that they will renovate and lease out for special occasions such as weddings.
Lezah Saunders's family history runs strong in Ouray as well; her grandfather, Sam Fellin, was a mule packer to the mines, and along with his brother donated the land that is now known as Fellin Park. Fellin worked out of one of the other stables in Ouray, and bought the current stable facility in the 1940s. Her family has owned the stable since, leasing it to other operators.
The stable was originally built in 1883 and, according to Jeralyn Linscott, has up until now been in continuous operation as a livery.
"All the miners who wanted to rent a horse to ride over to Telluride and Silverton would come there," she said. Over the years the Linscotts hired local youngsters to help out with the horses, either for a little money or just for fun, possibly in exchange for a free ride. One of those youngsters was current Ouray High School Principal Nick Schafer.
"We hired Nick Schafer when he was just a young buck," Linscott said. "He used to help Howard on hunting trips, pack trips, things like that."
Linscott said that the market for overnight trips is gone, with tourists favoring the one- and two-hour rides. Another thing that has gone by the wayside are the chuckwagon dinners the family used to host at the Old Potato Patch, up toward the Portland Mine.
"That was real popular; we used to have that for many years," she said.
What hasn't gone by the wayside, however, are the return customers. "We've taken people from all over the world; people who came to us as children have brought their children and even their grandchildren," Linscott said. "We've met lots and lots of interesting folks over the years. There's a thousand million stories that a person could tell you about the people who came here."

It's the fall, which means one thing to food lovers: mushroom season. In our weekly food segment, we get out of the kitchen and into the forest with Kathy Gunst, food writer and author of "Stonewall Kitchen Breakfast," and Rob Evans, chef at Hugo's restaurant in Portland, Me., and winner of the 2009 James Beard Award. They tell us about their experience foraging for wild mushrooms in the wilds of Maine and how to use those 'flowers of fall' – or their supermarket equivalents – in the kitchen. (Click through for recipes, including Chef Evans' Matsutake Mushroom Risotto.)

It must have been an unintentional funny.... cus I was being 100% sincere. That dude is clinically unfunny.
Sorry, I don't wanna de-rail this thread but I won't stand for this, Jim Breuer is one of the funniest guys around! His movies aren't that great but as a story teller he's incredible and his stand up is solid.
My favorite Breuer story. NSFW language.
See Doc...it's not just me! I'm not alone!!!!!! Thank you BigBrown!
I'm 3 minutes in... when does it get interesting/funny?
Let's just table it and agree to disagree...
I had an idea for a tweak. This is your game Doc, so you are the arbiter when it comes to rulings, let me know what you think. Ok, so the victim gets to choose the movie and the next victim, that's established. But nobody knows what someone has seen and what they havent. In the interest of keeping a rotating cast of victims I propose this...Let's say It's my turn to pick(movie/watcher) and I say to Adgy, watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space. But, alas, he has already seen it. Instead of picking another movie, I have to pick another watcher. The only way the movie choice changes is if EVERYONE on the list has seen it. Not only will this guarantee everyone will get a better chance to play, it can also stimulate conversation if more than one person has seen the movie. Once again, just an idea. What say you herr Doctor?

Technical Papers and Presentations
Using COMSOL to Solve for Currents along a Thin-Wire Antenna Excited by a Lumped Source
A. Shoory, A. Smorgonskiy, and F. Vega
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) group, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland
In this paper, we will present simulation results obtained using COMSOL RF module for the current along a wire antenna in both frequency and time domains. The structure is excited through a lumped (voltage or current) source at its center. For the frequency domain simulations we compare the results with the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC-4) and for the time domain results we compare them ...
Microwave Heating at the Grain Level
S. Lefeuvre[1], and O. Gomonova[2]
[1]Eurl Creawave, Toulouse, France
[2]Siberian State Aerospace University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia
The microwave heating and processing of heterogeneous material is usually simulated using a set of coupled PDE equations in an homogeneous medium. Nowadays it is possible to describe more accurately the process with a suitable description of the heterogeneities that is at the grain level. Many authors work with spheres (circles) to represent the grains but it is difficult to achieve an ...
Space Charge Compensation of Negative Ion Beams
M.Cavenago[1], and P. Veltri[2]
[1]INFN-LNL, Legnaro, PD, Italy
[2]Consorzio RFX, Padova, Italy
Neutral Beam Injectors for ITER require development of negative ion sources and beams with carefully reduced beam divergence. In the accelerator this is compensated by the focusing due to the fringe effect of the electric field, while in the drift region, where the beam is propagating without further acceleration, a background positive charge is required to assure beam transmission with small ...

S. Oukach[1], M. Elganaoui[1], B. Pateyron[1], and H. Hamdi[2]
[1]Laboratoire des Sciences des Procèdes Céramiques et de Traitements de Surface SPCTS, Limoges, France
[2]Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides et Energétique LMFE, Marrakech, Morocco
The quality of coatings obtained by means of thermal spraying depends strongly on the mechanism of the interaction between the molten droplets and the surface to be covered. The aim of the present study is to simulate the impact of a droplet onto a substrate, in order to have a good understanding of the dynamics of droplets impact. In this study, the process of droplet spreading is described; the ...

T. Bödrich[1], H. Neubert[1], and R. Disselnkötter[2]
[1]Technische Universität Dresden, Germany
[2]ABB AG, Forschungszentrum Deutschland, Ladenburg, Germany
The operation of transformers is characterised by strong dynamic interactions between the magnetic system and the electric circuits that are connected to the primary and econdary windings. Transient finite element modelling (FEM) of the transformer with coupling to SPICE circuit models containing the electrical sources and loads is a powerful means for analysis and design. This paper describes ...

E. Holzbecher[1], W.L. Wah[1], and M-S. Litz[2]
[1]Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Germany
[2]Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
There are various alternative options concerning modeling fluid flow within fractures in porous media. We give a general overview, with remarks concerning the modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics. Moreover we define and study two test cases for intercomparison. Finally for one of the testcases some results of an extensive sensitivity study is presented.
Absorbing Boundary Domain for CSEM 3D Modeling
J. Park[1], T.I. Bjørnarå[1], and B.A. Farrelly [2]
[1]Norwegian Geotechnical Institute(NGI), Oslo, Norway
[2]MultiField Geophysics AS, Norway
In the study, we present an efficient absorbing boundary domain technique whose main application is the 3D finite element (FE) modelling of the so-called controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) data, collected for the geophysical exploration. The developed technique is based on the real-value exponentially-stretched coordinates. We have implemented the developed technique using the ...
Modelling the Effects of Temperature and Moisture Ingress on Capacitance and Dissipation Factor Measurements within Oil Impregnated Paper Transformer Bushings
D. Smith, S.G. McMeekin, B.G. Stewart, and P.A. Wallace
Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
The majority of power transformer high voltage bushings today are of the condenser oil impregnated paper (OIP) type. The ingress of moisture, through the deterioration of the bushing over time, can result in a significant reduction in life and is a major failure mode of these bushings. Currently, the measurement of capacitance and dissipation factor is the most common method used to assess the ...

Welcome to the Guild !! You are 100% correct. I always feel that the biggest thing is to make something YOU like. I look forward to seeing your work
Hi guys,
I joined this site a year ago when I needed some inspiration for a D&D game I was DM-ing. I made some basic maps in CC3 for that game, but was never really pleased with the result. From when i was a little kid I always liked to doodle, draw maps, imagine new worlds, but never got into it coz my drawing skills are note something to brag about But now a couple of days ago I had a bit of extra time, so I looked back at this forum, went to the tutorials section, and found out you dont need to be an artist to make some really good maps so I decided to give it a shot
Welcome to the Guild !! You are 100% correct. I always feel that the biggest thing is to make something YOU like. I look forward to seeing your work
Finished Maps
Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

A few strange gimmick Pokemon have been made by Game Freak over the course of five generations of Pokemon: Castform was meant to showcase then-new weather moves and abilities, Unown was made to furnish the Ruins of Alph and create a mildly inconvenient form of code writing, Smeargle could learn every move but had pitiful stats with which to do so, and Plusle and Minun were Pikachu clones meant to represent double battles. At the very least, such Pokemon served a purpose, no matter how contrived. In comparison, Spinda seems extremely random, if you pardon the pun. It's a Pokemon with a variable sprite based on PID and... that's about it. Spinda is, to put it bluntly, a terrible Pokemon. No matter what it tries to do, it will always be held back by its abysmal stats, nearly matched by such fearsome monsters as Farfetch'd and Snorunt. For some strange reason, Game Freak had the urge to polish one of their turds and released Spinda in the Dream World with Superpower—a move Spinda literally cannot learn in any other way—to go with Contrary, allowing it to effectively gain a Bulk Up boost upon launching off a strong Fighting-type attack. Sadly, Game Freak paused the process and, evidently, forgot about it—Spinda cannot learn Superpower in BW2, which means that the surprisingly decent combination of Baton Pass, Rapid Spin, and Superpower remains illegal. In the meantime, Spinda remains a mangled mess, a useless piece of junk that nobody is ever meant to use, simply a remnant of Game Freak's caprice.
Although this set might be dangerous in the hands of something with better stats, in the stubs of Spinda, it's barely threatening. After bravely switching Spinda in (hopefully on a Pokemon that has been hit by Memento and also uses Memento), use Trick Room to give Spinda a tiny chance to deal a bit of damage. Double-Edge is Spinda's strongest STAB move; our permanently disabled koala definitely needs any power it can get. Superpower, as previously mentioned, allows Spinda to raise its stats while firing off a moderately powerful attack that pairs well with its STAB. Sucker Punch is the second strongest priority move in the game and Spinda's strongest move against Ghost-types. Using it against a frail Pokemon that has already taken a Superpower might, hilariously enough, actually result in a KO for Spinda!Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
It seems genuinely unfair that a Pokemon with such a rich list of Egg moves, including Rapid Spin, Wish, Baton Pass, Encore, and Disable, cannot use any due to illegalities. Without these moves, Spinda is stuck with little else. However, if you feel brave enough to use Spinda without Superpower, these Egg moves become legal, allowing Spinda to take advantage of being the sole user of both Baton Pass and Rapid Spin in the tier; it can also Baton Pass Calm Mind. Spinda's movepool is filled with random physical attacks such as Zen Headbutt, the elemental punches, and Wild Charge, but they all lack power and, more importantly, purpose. Teeter Dance is an option to make your opponent play recklessly by making him or her think that you are a terrible player.
Checks and Counters
Spinda cannot get past a single Ghost-type in the tier without Toxic; most have status moves and thus cannot be hit by any of Spinda's moves while switching in or by Sucker Punch. Whether the Ghost-type is Golurk or Shuppet, Spinda is not going to win against it. Most strong special attackers are able to take Spinda out in one fell swoop, especially as damage from Life Orb racks up; however, they must be aware of Sucker Punch. Physically defensive Pokemon, especially Tangela, Alomomola, and Shelgon, have little difficulty walling Spinda, even after one or two uses of Superpower. However, as Spinda begins to accumulate boosts, entertainingly enough, it becomes harder and harder to get rid of; previously solid Pokemon like those mentioned become easier and easier to KO with sufficient prior damage. Ironically, Superpower is, in itself, a cap on most of the power Spinda will ever hope to have. The move's pitiful 8 PP ensures that a Spinda that has had its sweep interrupted will not sweep again.

Mon-Thurs 9am-9pm
Fri-Sat 9am-10pm
Sun 11am-7pm
Zig zag smoke shop has one of the best selections of merchandise I have seen in Houston. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
The guys here offer great service and know their stuff. They have a nice selection of glassware you wouldn't normally see in other smoke shops.
Great smoke shop. I can confidently say it is one of, if not, the best smoke shop in Houston.
Upon entering it has a nice mood. Star-shaped lamps hanging from the ceiling with different posters all along the walls of the shop. Posters of Bob Marley, Tupac, Aliyah and others to posters of odd shapes and psychedelic drawings. Some are even backlight. It aids to the ambient. I went during October and they decorated it with fake spider webs all around the store. You can tell they work hard to keep their shop up. It looks really well and neat.
The store is very organized and everything is easy to find. They have a wide variety of practically anything. If you need something, chances are that this is the smoke shop that has it. They have products from RAW to Helix to Tsunami. Water Pipes, bubblers, vaporizers, papers, grinders, it's all here. Besides the variety they provide, the prices to the products are great. The prices matches the quality of the products.
The staff is very nice and friendly. They are all very knowledgable on all their products. They were really helpful when I was choosing my grinder and some bowls. They are happy to answer any questions you might have.
By far the best smoke shop in Houston. I drive about 20-30mins just to go to this smoke shop. Highly recommended.
I took the liberty to add two pictures and copy/paste my review to Yelp for those who look it up on iPhone's maps app.
Best head shop in town. I have been coming hear for years. Friendly and helpful staff, always have the best gear. And close to home for us. Highly recommend!
Came in during the weekend looking to buy my first grinder and I could not be happier. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. The lady I talked to behind the counter helped me choose between the wide array of grinders that they had to offer. She gave me helpful tips and insight that made buying the product as seamless as possible. They also have a good variety of other smoking products such as pipes, bongs, and rolling papers etc. for a very reasonable price. I've been to many other smoke shops in Houston and I've got to say this is the best one by far. Looking to make this place my usual!
Houston best smoke shop – The best smoke shop in Houston. They have a large selection of tobacco pipes and products. Their staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely my first choice for my smoking necessities.
Great attention – this bawse who was working the counter really knew his shiznat about glass. he spent about an hour with me and a friend. i was looking for my first water pipe in the upper hundreds and he even recommended another store i mentioned. really friendly peeps. i didnt buy crap but im going back next week for the april, 20th sale!
Best smoke shop around – Zig Zags is the most consistent smoke shop I go to. They always have what I need, and they keep everything stocked. Their customer service is always on key.They are super friendly and helpful. Go there :)

My own opinion is that I think government needs to get out of this marriage thing all together, I don't think them, church, or anyone should have a voice, accept the two people it is between. If you don't think so.. why not fight for arranged marriages again?
That said I also realize marriage by state has more to do with capital than anything else, and how society divides that up throught those two people's lives..

One of Philly's most upscale neighborhoods is a major target for vandals. And store owners in Rittenhouse Square say they're sick of it!
Dr. Suzanne Steele showed FOX 29 the latest urban artwork to deface the advertising in front of her medical practice and home on the 300 block of South 16th street.
She says it happened Sunday night, and when she checked her surveillance camera video, she found a guy hidden under a hoodie, with what she believes to be a can of spray paint in one hand, and a cell phone camera in the other.
Her place has been vandalized half-a-dozen times in the past eight years.
"What is it like to have to deal with this nonsense?" Steele explained. "It's very time consuming. We have to clean it up. We have to pay for the damages. I don't want my insurance rates to go up, so I just bear the cost myself."
Deli manager Steve Han says that even with his security cameras, it's nearly impossible to catch the vandals and make them pay.
"It's ongoing. Every day," said Han. "We paint that over... by maybe tomorrow, there'll be somebody there, you know, doing their artwork."
Back at the doctor's office, an employee helps Suzanne salvage their sign, scrubbing off the latest amateur artwork and wondering why life in the city has to be such a hassle.
"When you have small children like I do, you want to walk out and feel like your neighborhood is safe and friendly. And this doesn't feel friendly and it really doesn't feel safe," reflected Suzanne.
Some of the bolder vandals even posted pictures of their graffiti online for their friends and followers to see. Suzanne and her neighbors are so fed up, that they are talking about posting a reward for information that lands these "artists" behind bars.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

I am the director of the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable (NVHR), a coalition of more than 175 public and private organizations, from patient groups to medical associations, government agencies and pharmaceutical companies, dedicated to reducing the infection, morbidity and mortality from viral hepatitis in the United States.
Although NVHR's members have been eagerly anticipating the approval of this new class of hepatitis C drugs, I am here today to speak personally as a former hepatitis C patient and as an advocate for people who have not been as fortunate as I.
It strikes me a little funny to be able to say I was treated for hepatitis C in the last century. But when I think about what a long road it has been for many of my aging baby boomer friends who are still suffering from hepatitis C, it seems totally appropriate to say it this way. I was diagnosed in late 1998. At that time there was much anticipation of pegylated interferon, but my doctors decided that I could not wait for that, so I embarked on the 48 week journey of three times weekly shots. I was told I had about a 30% chance of a sustained response – the word cure wasn't even being used at that time – and I decided to chance it. Had I not, I have no doubt that I would be dead or on a transplant list today. As I said, I was fortunate; some would say much more than fortunate. Against the odds, I was cured. I am here today because I believe that something quite historic is happening in this room and I want to be a part of it.
For more than 10 years, I have dedicated my personal and professional life to addressing this silent epidemic. In this role, I have spoken with too many patients to count who are ill, afraid, unable to access the care they need, who were failed by earlier treatments and are waiting for something that will give them better odds. Some just want to tell me that my story inspired them to be able to take the next step. I tell these patients that treatment is not easy and that it is a personal choice, but one that might save their lives. It is for these patients that this day is of paramount importance, because for the first time I can actually tell them, although treatment may still be extremely challenging, hope for a cure should outweigh their fear that the treatment will fail them.
Yes, I believe that approval of these drugs will be the biggest thing that has happened in the years I have been doing this work, and certainly what many patients have been anxiously awaiting; However, it still concerns me that treatment will continue to be a difficult and challenging ordeal. I am hopeful that a shortened course of treatment for many patients will equate with a greater ability to tolerate the drugs and manage the side effects, but I fear that the issue of compliance with strict medication regimens might affect treatment success. And these drugs will help few if awareness of the hepatitis C epidemic is not increased, and if awareness does not go hand in hand with improved screening and affordable access to care for the people who need it. I have every hope that both Merck and Vertex will employ their considerable resources to address these concerns. Thank you.

Item Database
The Moa is a ship that has been described as "a collision between a giraffe and a shipping container." Asymmetrically designed, and by some accounts, downright ugly, its appearance has led many pilots to shun it for its more aesthetically pleasing brother, the Caracal.
Despite its appearances, the Moa is an effective combat ship. The bonus to shield resistances makes the ship a tough nut to crack, and its slot layout means it's configurable for a variety of jobs. Like many shield tanked ships, fitting tackling gear decreases the durability of the vessel.
While the Moa is less capable as a pure tackling ship than the Thorax, Omen or Stabber, its range bonus makes it desirable as a sniper, and it often serves as a stepping stone for pilots who want to fly a Ferox or a Rokh. The range bonus also results in pilots using the Moa with blasters, which gives it a moderately longer ranged punch than the Thorax or Vexor.
With two Tech II ship variants, the Moa is readily available outside of major trade hubs. Although not as durable as the Onyx or as long ranged as the Eagle, the Moa remains a capable ship in the hands of a well trained pilot.

El Perro y El Gato (books!)
I mentioned before how much I love the children's bilingual show "El Perro y El Gato" on HBO Latino. Well, the show has now been made into something else I love – books!
There are four so far in the series: La Granja (farm), La Nieve (snow), El Cumpleaños (birthday), and El doctor (doctor). I read all four books with my younger son last night and he was smiling the whole time. At one point he even asked to read them to me and I was so pleased to hear him pronounce most of the Spanish correctly without help.
The books are true to the show in that they are fully bilingual and easy to understand. The characters maintain the personalities we already know and love, and the images are brightly colored and funny.
I like that there isn't a lot of text. With bilingual books, paragraphs of text can become tedious and boring. These books are short and simple, and in the back of each book is a pronunciation guide for those who are new to either English or Spanish.
When we finished reading the books, my son asked, "Do we get to keep these or are they from the library?" – When I told him we get to keep them, he was super feliz.
I have a feeling I know what we're reading at bedtime again tonight.
Disclosure: The "El Perro y El Gato" series of books were provided for review and are available at HBO shop. All opinions are totally my own.
Posted on October 28, 2010, in books, Language, niños. Bookmark the permalink. 9 Comments.
This is awesome news. My son Gabriel loves El Perro y El Gato. I have some of the videos on my iPhone and when we watch them together, it is such a treat. We sometimes even pretend to be the characters (I play the dumb cat, always asking "Qué?" or "What?").
I'll definitely get the books. Thanks for sharing.
Never seen the show, but I'll definitely look into getting those books! Thanks for the review.
Oh, thank you for sharing those books! My 4 year old girl has become increasingly interested in Spanish books. I know she'll enjoy this series. Will check and see if my local library carries them. If not, they're a perfect gift for the holidays!
I started watching the show after you mentioned it and Julian loves it!! I'm going to have to get him those books ;)
Que chulo! I love how little things please our kids.
The books look great! Simple design and text.
So cute, thanks for the Christmas idea!
I loooove that show too! It's good to know they have books, iI want them!!

Dreamy Leek Pasta
Author Notes: With little need for a recipe, a stirring of simple ingredients awakens the natural green goodness of leeks - buttered and creamed to make a sauce that takes little more time than to boil water for the pasta. Any pasta will do, but fresh homemade pasta takes this dish from simple to sublime.
Thanks to my husband's deft hand with a pasta machine, fresh pasta is practically a staple in our kitchen, a weekend meal, ready to roll in about an hour.
- Vivian Henoch
Serves 2
- 4 leeks, washed, trimmed and sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2/3 cups cream or half & half
