About the Author: Ted Kanamine serves as the Senior Planner and Infrastructure Advisor in the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization.
Deploying to Afghanistan necessitates being able to operate and execute a mission in an austere and very stressful environment. In order to sufficiently prepare members entering into unique and challenging field locations, where they often work in very close coordination with the U.S. military, deploying civilians are required to expand upon their usual classroom-based courses by participating in joint civil-military, exercise-based training in Muscatatuck, Indiana.
Designed by the Department of State and the Department of Defense and managed with the support of the Foreign Service Institute and the Indiana National Guard, the week-long course in Muscatatuck simulates full immersion into a military forward operating base in Afghanistan. Through realistic role-playing exercises with Afghans, civilian students from many different government agencies not only become familiar with the Afghan culture and the myriad of stakeholders that will be key to their mission, but they develop an important awareness of what living and working with military members in a non-permissive, tactical environment is like.
Subject matter experts (SMEs), civilians from a range of different U.S. Government agencies, including individuals from State's Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction & Stabilization (S/CRS), who have recently returned from Afghanistan, provide students unique pre-deployment preparation and training by teaching them how to realistically engage Afghan officials and function in a variety of military tactical situations. Ongoing participation of these returning members offers students access to the most current information and most useful advice so they can effectively navigate Muscatatuck's realistic simulations and, eventually, succeed in the field.
During training, students also learn what civilian-military planning and coordination really entail. As students practice acting in an integrated command team, they must address issues from both the military's security perspective and the civilian's governance and development priorities in order to collaboratively plan how to execute the mission and effectively partner with their Afghan counterparts on the ground. During these simulations, students have the unique opportunity to learn the challenges of coordinated planning and the importance of adapting and/or re-shaping perspectives in accordance with U.S. objectives in order to develop solutions and empower the Afghan government to provide security and economic development in Afghanistan.
As of April 2010, more than 300 civilians from State, USAID, Agriculture, Treasury, and Justice have been trained at Muscatatuck. The July 4 Washington Post Magazine profiles a USAID employee who is participating in civ-mil training at Muscatatuck in preparation for deploying to Afghanistan. The article can be found here.
Patrick W. in Maryland writes:
I think this training is a positive step in
improving the security of the civilian, and military personnel that are working together.
Hopefully this extra training will help foward
our progress,in the Stressful situations that
our people have to work-in sometimes.
This sounds like a great pre-course for everyone involved in environments, that call for close cooperation between military and civilians everywhere..)
Nice to here , about this program.

Manage Your Money
The right tools can make managing your money a lot easier.
When you manage your money wisely, your money is more likely to grow. The secret to wealth is the daily habit of managing your money to spend less than you earn—and save or invest the rest. Yet, few people have time to sit around counting coins all day. Fortunately, new tools are available to help us manage money efficiently.
Let's discuss some of these tools and how they help, no matter how busy you may be.
Online Banking
We've come a long way since paper statements. Today, you can see all of your transactions online almost instantly. In essence, your bank keeps a balanced checkbook for you. However, you still need to monitor your account for any strange activity and to see where your money is being spent. Online banking also makes it easy for you to pay bills and transfer money to and from savings. Because it's easy for you to see your money, you're more likely to manage it.

Mobile Banking
What if you could use that time standing in line to check on your finances? Every bit of time you invest towards managing your money makes a positive difference, and mobile banking makes it easier than ever to multitask. Shopping at a store and want to check you're on budget? A quick balance check using your mobile phone might affect your decision on whether or not to make that purchase. These seemingly small habits add up to affect your big financial picture, and mobile banking makes good habits easier.
As if watching your money weren't easy enough with mobile and online banking, many banks, including BBVA Compass, can email you if your balance dips below a specified amount or you have a failed transaction. This system is much better than the old system of sending a notice by mail, which you don't receive until it's too late.
Money Management Programs
Some banks, including BBVA Compass, offer money management programs to sync with your personal money management software. These programs are invaluable at giving you a look at your complete financial situation, from investments to checking to savings accounts and more. You can see the big picture, then zoom in to manage the finer details. When you can view your situation easily, you will make financial decisions differently--to the benefit of your bottom line.
Prepaid Debit Cards
These cards are effective tools to control your spending—and teaching your children or loved ones to do the same. You can place funds on the card, then use the card anywhere debit cards are accepted. When you use all the funds, you can reload the card. BBVA Compass, for example, offers a ClearSpend Visa card.
Are you using the above tools to help you manage your money? If not, you might not be managing your money as efficiently and wisely as you could be.

text: Diversity Laws: A Global Overview Publication | June 2011 Introduction Overview Germany Australia Great Britain South Africa Canada Conclusion Introduction by Richard J. Charney, Madeleine L.S. Loewenberg, Karen Ainslie, Claire Darbourne, Paul Griffin, Katrin Scheicht, Leanne NickelsComplying with human rights legislation has become particularly important for multinational corporations. In a world where business transactions often transcend national boundaries, due diligence concerning human rights initiatives requires multinational companies to comply with legal pronouncements and social expectations to help avoid liability for human rights violations.This bulletin describes the initiatives taken in five jurisdictions to ensure the protection of human rights and the promotion of diversity and equality of treatment for workers, whether as employees or independent contractors. The jurisdictions under consideration are Germany, Great Britain, Australia, South Africa and Canada. Overview Each of the five jurisdictions has enacted human rights legislation that protects workers, whether as employees or independent contractors, depending on the jurisdiction, from harassment and discrimination while performing services and applying to provide services. Workers are not uniformly described across all five jurisdictions. In Canada's largest province, Ontario, a worker can be an employee, an independent or dependent contractor or a contract worker. The critical element in the relationship is the exchange of payment for services rendered. By contrast, in South Africa and Great Britain protections against harassment and discrimination are not dependent on the provision of payment in exchange for service. For example, in South Africa protective legislation is applicable only to employees (and not independent or dependent contractors or contract workers) who provide work and who receive, or are entitled to receive, remuneration while assisting in conducting the business of an employer.The human rights legislation of Germany, Great Britain and South Africa is enacted federally and applicable to all workers, regardless of where in the jurisdiction work is performed. In Australia, legislation is enacted at both the state and federal levels. In Canada, legislation is enacted in each province and territory as well as federally. As a result, in Canada a worker is subject to the human rights legislation in the province or territory in which he or she is employed.Employees working in "federal works and undertakings" are subject to federally enacted human rights legislation regardless of the location of the services being provided. However, in Australia a worker is subject to the law that is enacted at both the state and the federal levels.The grounds under which a worker is protected by human rights legislation vary. For example, the Canadian Human Rights Act protects against harassment and discrimination on the following grounds:race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex (including pregnancy and childbirth), sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability and conviction for which a pardon has been grantedThe situation is similar in South Africa and Germany where protections are provided to employees on comparable, although not identical, grounds and in Great Britain where substantially similar protections are granted on the majority of the grounds listed above. Similar legislation exists in Australia.Obviously, based on the foregoing, local counsel should always be consulted about the scope of the protections provided to workers in a particular jurisdiction.In addition to the basic protections outlined, the following outlines some of the significant, and in some cases recently enacted, provisions concerning diversity, equality and human rights in each of the five jurisdictions. Germany German law provides special employment protections for severely disabled persons. Companies employing 60 or more employees must ensure at least 5% of their workforce is comprised of severely disabled persons. Companies with 20 to 39 employees must employ at least one severely disabled employee. Companies with 40 to 59 employees must employ at least two severely disabled employees. If a company fails to comply with this obligation, it may be subject to compensation payments ranging from €105 to €260 for each month that it failed to comply.The German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC) applies only to exchange-listed companies; however, it contains nationally and internationally recognised standards and provides a model of good corporate governance for companies of any size. The GCGC suggests that diversity, and particularly the inclusion of women, should be considered when a company seeks members for its board of directors, supervisory board or executive roles.In Germany, applications for employment generally contain personal information, including a date of birth and a photograph. In an effort to increase protection against discrimination, some companies in Germany are testing an anonymous application process; however, anonymity is not currently required. Also, legislation enacting a quota system for female job applicants is currently being considered. Australia In 2010, the Australian government enacted legislation requiring employers to consider requests for flexible working arrangements from parents and persons with responsibility for a child under school age, under 18 years of age, or with a disability. The requests must be made in writing and must relate to the need to care for the child.On 1 January 2011, a national paid parental leave scheme came into effect. The leave provisions provide eligible working mothers and other primary caregivers of children born or adopted after 1 January 2011, with up to 18 weeks paid parental leave at the national minimum wage (currently A$569.90 per week). The entitlement is available to full-time, part-time and casual employees earning less than A$150,000 per year. It is also available to contractors and the self employed. All recipients will receive the full weekly rate regardless of their earnings prior to the birth or adoption of the child.Significant amendments to the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act were announced on 9 March 2011, not the least of which was changing the legislation's title to Workplace Gender and Equality Act (WGEA). The WGEA enhances the obligation on businesses with 100 or more employees to establish workplace gender equity plans and submit reports on the participation of women and men in their workplaces. Companies reporting for the first time will also be required to report on the actual gender composition of their organisations and their boards, on their employment conditions and whether they have flexible work practices for men and women.Another significant change includes introducing specific provisions into the Fair Work Act, 2009 that prevent employers and principals, among others, from taking adverse action against employees and subcontractors, among others, because they have a workplace right. A workplace right includes:an entitlement to the benefit of, or a role or responsibility under, a workplace law or workplace instrument or orderan ability to initiate, or participate in, a process or proceeding under a workplace law or workplace instrument, oran ability to make a complaint or inquiry:- to a person or body having the capacity under a workplace law to seek compliance with that law or a workplace instrument, or- if that person is an employee, in relation to his or her employment.Adverse action is taken by an employer or a principal where the employee is dismissed, the employee is injured during the course of employment, the employee's position is altered to his or her prejudice, or the employee is discriminated against vis-à-vis other employees.These provisions substantially increase the protections available to workers in Australia Great Britain Recent developments in discrimination law in Great Britain (comprising England, Wales and Scotland) have continued the extension of protections provided to employees since the enactment of the Equal Pay Act in 1970. These protections have been elaborated upon through a combination of European Union directives and initiatives implemented by the legislature of Great Britain.The Equality Act 2010 (Equality Act), which came into force on 1 October 2010, has broadened the liability of employers in respect of acts of harassment committed by third parties. Previously, an employer could only be held liable for the sexual harassment of its employees by third parties in certain circumstances. The Equality Act has extended the third-party harassment provisions to apply across all the protected characteristics covered by the harassment provisions, including race, age, disability and sexual orientation.Prior to April 2011, dismissal by reason of retirement at the age of 65 provided an exception to the law on age discrimination as long as the correct statutory procedure was followed. As of April 2011, employers may no longer require employees to retire at age 65 as was the case under the old regime. Employers can continue to operate a fixed retirement age only if this can be objectively justified; otherwise, the employer may be subject to a claim of age discrimination. South Africa The Employment Equity Act, 1998 requires designated employers to implement affirmative action measures for people from designated groups in order to achieve employment equity. A designated employer is an employer that employs 50 or more employees or an employer that employs fewer than 50 employees but has a total annual turnover equal to or above prescribed annual turnover thresholds. Designated groups are black people, women and people with disabilities. "Black people" is a generic term that means Africans, Coloureds (a legal term of art for people of mixed race) and Indians.Affirmative action measures are "measures designed to ensure that suitably qualified people from designated groups have equal employment opportunities and are equitably represented in all occupational categories and levels in the workforce of a designated employer." These measures require employers to implement measures to eliminate employment barriers, to further diversity in the workplace, and to strive to achieve an equitable representation of suitably qualified people from designated groups in all occupational categories and levels in the workforce. The measures adopted by employers to increase diversity in the workplace must not be arbitrary or capricious. Recent court decisions have indicated that employers may be exposed to discrimination claims by those who can demonstrate that the measures to ensure employment equity were spurious Canada The provinces of Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island and the federal jurisdiction have enacted pay equity legislation designed to remedy gender discrimination in respect of the pay received by men and women in the workplace. The legislation does not guarantee equal pay for equal work (i.e. paying men and women the same wage rate for the same work); rather, it ensures that employers are providing equal pay for work of equal or comparable value.To achieve pay equity, an employer must conduct job evaluations that compare the skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions inherent in various jobs. The employer must then compare male- and female-dominated jobs that have similar job evaluations. If wage differentials exist between those jobs, the employer must implement measures to remedy this difference.The Employment Equity Act applies to most federally regulated employers, including federally regulated private employers with 100 or more employees and members of the public service. This legislation requires employers to take positive steps to correct the under-representation of women, people with disabilities, Aboriginal persons and visible minorities in the workplace. To do so, employers are required to evaluate whether the aforementioned groups are under-represented and to then implement policies and practices that encourage the hiring, promotion, training, retention and accommodation of those individuals. It is akin to affirmative action, although that phrase is not used in the legislation.The Federal Contractors Program requires provincially regulated companies with greater than 100 employees that seek to provide goods and services in excess of Can$200,000 to the federal government, to have an employment equity program in place.In addition, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects against discrimination on the grounds of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation and mental and physical disability by the Government of Canada, each provincial and territorial government, and government agencies. These protections allow an applicant to seek a remedy against a government or a government agency based on a discriminatory practice, in addition to any complaint that the individual could make pursuant to human rights legislation in the jurisdiction where services are provided.At present, the province of Ontario is engaging in a consultation process concerning proposed amendments to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. The amendments would create an accessibility standard applicable to all businesses operating in Canada's largest province. The standard would require employers to evaluate barriers faced by persons with disabilities in the workplace and to work to eliminate those barriers. Conclusion Global initiatives protecting and promoting diversity, equality and human rights are as varied as the individuals to whom they apply. These initiatives are typically promulgated by legislative enactment, although it is apparent that diversity recommendations promoted by organisations with influence over economic relationships can place significant pressure on the conduct of corporations.Companies seeking to expand their operations into new, unfamiliar jurisdictions would be wise to obtain information about the issues raised in this bulletin. To do otherwise could result in economic sanctions, non-pecuniary orders to comply with statutes and the loss of goodwill in foreign jurisdictions. Top

An ode to Ardy and Ed's, kindaFriday, July 31st, 2009
I blog today in praise of the ice cream and hamburger joint in Oshkosh known as Ardy and Ed's. It is to the body's circulatory system what concrete is to the builder, yet it is an essential risk. A root beer float shoveled between the lips near Lake Winnebago is the same as cabernet savignon sipped in Napa Valley. I take pills to fight what Ardy and Ed serve, and yet I return again and again. Drivers passing by get high cholesterol just from breathing the air, even when speeding. Fry my burger in a river of grease, Ardy. Pour me a bucket of root beer, Ed. Roto-Rooter will clear my veins.

By any measure, Danum ranks among the world's most biologically rich and imperiled real estate.Danum — animals are practically dripping from the trees. Bornean gibbons howl from treetops, while giant squirrels and macaques leap spectacularly among branches. Pygmy elephants abound, along with sambar deer and bearded pigs. Orangutans are spotted regularly, while my nighttime hikes revealed palm civets, leopard cats, and giant flying foxes. Even while taking breakfast on the deck of the research lodge, I was enthralled by a kaleidoscope of butterflies and birds, including magnificent rhinoceros hornbills. And soon after that I had a jolting encounter on a forest track
From the air, one can see a tsunami of threats advancing toward Danum.just rot en masse on the forest floor.
The specter of future climate change is lending a special urgency to those battling for the Danum ecosystem.across the tropics, biodiversity fares far worse if the habitats surrounding protected areas are cleared or heavily disrupted.

I know that if I make a dough and cook it at 900 degrees without any toppings, it will be thick in the middle. But it seems like as soon as I put on a topping with any sort of moisture, the dough collapses under the weight of the moisture.

There have always been common materials in art, like marble, that have caught almost all of our attention, especially when it comes to sculpture. But there have also been other types of materials shrouded by a mysterious halo, like they had anything to do with magic. Maybe that could be the reason why in Florence, between the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, the Medici family started a collection of ivory artworks, which was a breaking fact, since by that time the first retrospective study on ivory came out.
Now, a few centuries later, The Museum of Silver at the Pitti Palace, in Florence, pays tribute to this 'passion' for ivory. Diafane Passioni, Baroque ivories from the European courts, is the name given to the exhibition, which, by means of five different sections, takes the visitor from the XVth century's carved pieces that Ferdinando I de Medici started to collect to the works of German and Austrian sculptors such as Georg Petel and Balthasar Permoser.
As you pass from one section to another you will discover that the artists challenged themselves to create figures more complicated every time, facing a precious but difficult material to work with. The result is that you will see pieces that seem to have been taken out of a dream or a fairy tale. So, if you want to watch a different kind of art exhibition, do not doubt visiting the Museum of Silver. From Il Salviatino, your luxury hotel at Florence, we believe you will like the experience.

New Film: How Sweet It Is
Tony posted this today on Twitter:
I just finished working on the indie musical comedy film "How Sweet It Is" w/ the great Paul Sorvino & a tremendous cast and crew. Loved it!
He also retweeted this photo from the set, where you can see the top of his head.
Here is some more information about the film:
- Tony's character is named Barry.
- The story focuses on alcoholic theater owner, Jack (Piscopo) who needs a strong showing for his musical's opening night to dig himself out of debt with the mob. The mob boss (Sorvino) insists that his friends get roles in the musical, which complicates things somewhat. Reynolds will cameo as himself and Christensen will play Jack's daughter. How Sweet It Is, directed by Brian Hertzlinger (Baby on Board) from a script he co-wrote with Jay Black will debut this fall. source
- How Sweet It Is also stars Joe Piscopo, Erika Christensen, Paul Sorvino, Michael Paré, Eddie Griffin, and Burt Reynolds. source
The film also has a website, but it currently does not contain much information.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, said on Wednesday that it had teamed up with Pixelux Entertainment to enable Bullet Physics and Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) physics engine compatible with industry-standard DirectCompute 11 and OpenCL application programming interfaces. The so-called "open physics initiative" will allow games to compute physics effects on highly-parallel graphics processing units (GPUs) from ATI, Intel, Nvidia or S3 Graphics.
Pixelux is a specilist in material physics simulation based on the Finite Element Method. After many years of exclusivity, Pixelux has announced it will be providing a new version of its Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) System that can be licensed by anyone and that more easily integrates with other physics systems. This new version of DMM will feature integration with the free and open source Bullet Physics engine. DMM and Bullet are designed to operate together to enable players to experience visually and kinetically realistic worlds where objects react as they do in real-life. The combination of DMM and Bullet Physics is designed to offer robust physics solution for game developers to enable new level of realism in future titles.
"Pixelux wants to ensure that our technology can take advantage of the computing resources that any particular hardware platform offers without locking in our users to any single platform. By working with AMD to run our software in OpenCL we stay true to that goal," said Mitchell Bunnell, chief executive officer of Pixelux.
ATI/AMD will help Pixelux to optimize the DMM and Bullet Physics engines for OpenCL and DirectCompute 11 APIs, which will eventually allow games to take more advantage of AMD microprocessors and ATI Radeon graphics chips. At present BulletPhysics can already take advantage of various highly-parallel architectures, including x86 multi-core processors, Nvidia CUDA, IBM Power/Xbox 360 microprocessor, OpenCL, Sony Cell and so on.
"Proprietary physics solutions divide consumers and ISVs, while stifling true innovation; our competitors even develop code that they themselves admit will not work on hardware other than theirs. By working with Pixelux and others to enable open support of physics on OpenCL and DirectX 11 capable devices we are taking the exact opposite approach," said Eric Demers, chief technology officer for graphics at AMD.

Topic: Where to get a drink around here...
Hi everyone. First post here, and I thought I would say hello. Just got a book (pragmatic programmers agile development for rails) and already encountered some issues.
So... I figured I'd introduce myself before I start reaping the rewards of this community's collective knowledge.
I'm actually familiar with Rails and Ruby (fairly novice to programming altogether), but never really put my old knowledge to use, and so have fallen far out of practice. Here's to hoping for an eventual mastery of both the language and the platform.
Cheers to you all.

Friday, June 14, 2013 - Arnold Schwarzenegger will return as The Terminator in 2014.
The action movie veteran confirmed he will be returning as the futuristic
robot character in Terminator 5 during a speech he made at a 21st Century Financial Education Summit event in Australia this week (beg10Jun13), and it appears he even has a shoot date on his schedule.
The former California Governor said, "I'm very happy that the studios want me to be in Terminator 5 and to star as the Terminator, which we start shooting in January."
The film will be the first Terminator movie since 2009's Terminator Salvation, and will mark Schwarzenegger first franchise project since 2003's Terminator: Rise of the Machines.
Few details about Terminator 5 have been released, but moviemaker James Cameron, who wrote and directed the first two films is reportedly onboard to
script Schwarzenegger's return.

Community supervision & Corrections Department
Court Services
Frank Crowley Courts Building - 133 N. Riverfront Boulevard, 9th Floor, Dallas, TX 75207
Types of Community Supervision
Regular Supervision – Pled Guilty Before Court
The defendant has been found guilty and sentenced to 10 years or less in prison, or 2 years to 180 days in the state jail and imposition of that sentence is suspended and he/she was placed on regular community supervision. The sentence is determined and the punishment is set.
Deferred Supervision – Non Adjudication of Guilt/No Finding of Guilty
The defendant can plea guilty or no contest and the Judge refrains from finding them guilty and places them on Deferred Community Supervision. Defendant is not convicted of a felony and the punishment range for the given offense is the full range of punishment. Punishment is not set as in Regular Probation.
Shock Probation – SHPB
The defendant is sentenced to 10 years or less in TDC (Texas Department of Corrections), the attorney then files a Motion for Shock Probation prior to 180 days. In State Jail cases the defendant is sentenced to 180 days to 2 years in the State Jail. The Judge looses jurisdiction after 180 days. The defendant is then bench warranted back from TDC/State Jail and a hearing is held. The Judge then determines whether or not to probate the defendant.
Boot Camp Supervision
The defendant is sentenced to 10 years or less in TDC. Boot Camp is not a condition of Supervision. Defendant is ordered to TDC, after 75-90 days (court retains jurisdiction up to 90 days). Boot Camp will advise the Court of Defendants progress/or lack of progress, the Court will bench warrant defendant back to Court and a hearing will be held to determine if the case will be Probated. **Offenses after 09-01-05 the court retains jurisdiction for 180 days****State Jail Felony Cases can not go to Boot Camp**
Types of Criminal Offenses
A state jail felony is the lowest class of felony offenses. In most cases, a state jail felony is punishable by confinement in a state jail facility (as opposed to a state prison) for a term of not more than 2 years no less than 180 days. CSR HRS MIN 120
A third degree felony is punishable by imprisonment in a state prison (TDC) for a term of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. CSR HRS MIN 160
A second degree felony is punishable by imprisonment in a state prison (TDC) for not more than 20 years or less than 2 years. CSR HRS MIN 240
A first degree felony is punishable by imprisonment in a state prison (TDC) for a term of not more than 99 years nor less than 5 years. The key difference between a life sentence and a sentence of 99 years is that a life sentence may not be discharged. CSR HRS MIN 320
A capital felony is the most serious category of crime in Texas. It is punishable either by death or by life imprisonment in a state penal institution (TDC). Capital Murder is the only death penalty offense in Texas.
Felony cases are referred to the District Attorney and if the DA files the case it gets set in Grand Jury. The Grand Jury is made up of 12 jurors who hear the evidence and decide whether or not to True Bill the case or No Bill the case.
True Bill – there was enough evidence to indict the case
No Bill – there was not enough evidence to indict the case
Defendants may agree to waive the Grand Jury and have the court go ahead and hear the case. They do this in an effort to save time and get their case disposed of faster. If they waive grand jury they are agreeing they are guilty and the Court processes the case as an Information instead of an Indictment.
Misdemeanors are also classified by degree, and may be categorized as Class A, Class B, or Class C. CSR HRS MIN 80 ON ALL MISDEMEANORS.
A Class A misdemeanor is the most serious category of misdemeanors. They are punishable by either a fine of up to $4,000.00 or a term of imprisonment in a county jail for no more than one year, or by both the fine and term of imprisonment.
Standard Conditions of Probation

Rest of Today: Partly cloudy and breezy with temperatures in the 70s to lower 80s for the plains, mainly 60s over the mountains. A Red Flag Warning is in effect until 9:00 PM for El Paso and Pueblo counties, Las Animas county along and east of I-25, and the San Luis Valley.
Tonight: Partly cloudy with low temperatures in the 40s to lower 50s for the plains, mainly 30s over the mountains.
Extended: Increasing clouds and wind, with a few showers possibly developing over and near the mountains late in the day. The wind should become strong enough for fire weather conditions to develop again, and as such the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Pueblo has already issued a Fire Weather Watch for much of southeastern Colorado for Saturday afternoon.
It still appears that a shot of rain and snow is likely locally late Saturday night and early Sunday. Any snow over the Palmer Divide may produce periods of very poor visibility as the wind may gust between 40 and 60mph! Accumulating snow will be possible above about 6500 feet, but any heavier snowfall accumulations will probably remain a bit higher. Showers will move east out across the plains during the afternoon, but highs in the 40s to around 60 with clouds and all of the wind will feel terrible. It's possible that this storm will remain near enough to keep us cool, and cause a few afternoon showers each day through the middle of next week. We'll track this storm closely.

Laminate Flooring Buying Tips
- Wood laminate flooring is a cheaper alternative to natural wood, ceramic, or stone flooring. Many people choose wood laminate flooring to take advantage of the savings.
- Installation for hardwood laminate flooring is easy. Laminate flooring can be installed directly over most existing floors. This significantly reduces labor costs and time if you are performing the job yourself. Many hardwood laminate flooring pieces snap together so there is no need for nails in the process.
- There are a variety of laminate flooring types available, so you're sure to find a style and color to complement your home's decor. You can purchase laminate flooring that simulates the look of natural dark wood, light wood, stone, and more.
- Oak laminate flooring and other varieties are much more resistant to scratches and marring in comparison to natural wood flooring. Many families with young children and pets opt for laminate flooring for this reason alone.
- Laminate flooring is extremely versatile making it possible to introduce into just about any room of your home.
- Laminate flooring is optimal for do-it-yourselfers. As stated, most models can fit into place by hand or with the additional aid of a rubber mallet. There is no need to pay for professionals to come and install the flooring for you.
- Laminate floors are easy to maintain. They do not need to be waxed or polished, further allowing more savings over time. Use a damp cloth or dust mop to clean your laminate floor.
- Minor scratches can be repaired with laminate floor repair paste. The paste can be purchased at most home maintenance stores.

- Cheryll said...
I had the very same thing happen to me. One morning it just went bang... a million pieces. Luckily my insurance did cover it and I had the glass replaced. The new glass has a lifetime warranty. :)
- February 18, 2012 5:25 PM
- Elyte said...
Glad that you were both safely out of the way. Do you think that the heat that you have had in the west contributed?

Glad that you were not having a dinner party! I think that a wooden set is called for. I would be to afraid of another glass table.

Thank goodness nobody was nearby when it happened! And how lucky your fish landed safely! I've heard of this happening so I won't have a glass table.

OMG, thank goodness no one was sitting there. This happened to my best friend once and she severed a tendon.

- Gina E. said...
Gosh I can't believe that has happened to so many other people! It happened to us a few years ago. I came home from work and found glass all over the brick patio. I accused the kids next door of chucking rocks over the fence (we were not on good terms with those neighbours) and they were most indignant. They said they might be noisy and rude to us, but they would never go that far. We had only had our patio setting for less than a year, so I phoned the manufacturer, and they replaced the glass.
- February 18, 2012 11:44 PM
- Mary said...
Thank goodness there was no one around, not just little ones. What a shock!
- February 19, 2012 12:39 AM
- Vivian said...
Good grief! I'm sure your heart was thumping wildly for a while, both with the initial noise and after you saw what happened. As so many others have said, how fortunate that no one was hurt. Oh my -- I'm thinking about all that cleanup. Hopefully you won't be finding shattered glass for years.
Your lovely fish knows how to land beautifully!
- February 19, 2012 3:36 AM
- Merilyn said...
Oh my! Julia! Just as well there was no one near or sitting at the table at the time! I think a timber table is definitely the way to go, that is what I have, never been that keen on the glass tables, now I know why!!!!
- February 19, 2012 5:03 AM
- Jane's Fabrics and Quilts said...
Wow! I have never heard of that. Thanks Heavens no one got hurt. Was it because of the heat?

Hey-- I think I heard that loud bang here, too--oh--that's right it was just the fireworks next door at the Hotel for there ice display and party they were having!!!!!
That is something though, your table--
why not just get a wood or metal top made for the table base????

What a shocking event Julia! Glad no one was hurt... you should try ringing the manufacturer. Take care!

This happened to us a few years ago, we have replaced it with another glass table and ensured that it is a tempered glass top this time.

Lucky nobody was hurt and thank God the fish survived it! I saw on one of the Current Affairs shows a couple of years ago there was a big problem with the glass shattering from those tables. I think a wooden one is definately the way to go.

I read on someone's blog the same thing happening...just as well you weren't having a family gathering...
Glad to hear you are both safe.

That always made me laugh.
What a joke. The Stones proclaimed themselves to be "the greatest rock band". They knew it wasn't true.
And I will never forget how Mick used to say the Stones never wore suits in the early days. I've got photos and I've seen film of them wearing suits.
And what is it with Keith?! Does he really believe all that tripe about being a junkie is being cool? Does he think that he is hip or something? He just looks dead. Or as my Mum would say; he looks like death warmed over. What was all that stuff about how could George Harrison be dead and he wasn't dead yet and how wierd that was. Hey, nobody is standing in your way, Keith, if ya wanna go out. Sorry to rant on and on here...
I agree with heyjude. The Stones followed behind the Beatles just like Mary's little lamb.

Investing 101: Understand What, and Who, You're Buying
It sounds simple enough, right? Except, the term "well" as described by Mr. Buffett is highly subjective. I'm not one to ever argue with Buffett's brand of logic. But I do recall that Enron was considered to be "doing well" until, of course, it wasn't. Shortly thereafter, the collapse of other "well-performing" titans like WorldCom, Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual became cautionary tales.
It's true that Enron and the rest were clearly not as "well" as they painted themselves to be. But investors also had role to play in their own misfortune.
In every sector and industry I follow, one thing remains constant: Company executives will exploit any opportunity to make their businesses appear better than it actually is. At the same time, if there's bad news, rest assured that news will be either be buried in SEC filings or spun in a way to mask its severity. This is assuming the news is disclosed at all.
Certain CEOs have become celebrities. The days of hearing from them four times a year on quarterly reports have been replaced by real-time revelations on Twitter
Don't forget, it was Reed Hastings, Netflix's

I really don't know how to explain this, but I'll certainly try. So far I've only tried two types of tea other than standard iced tea. I've tried Chai which I totally love and then I just bought and tried Twinings English Breakfast decaf tea. What I don't like about iced tea is that strong bright um... "tea" taste and the twinings tea has that taste. I love chai though. I was hoping I'd like the breakfast tea but it's just standard tea to me. Is all black tea the same kind of taste? I know I don't like green tea, too grassy for me.
I'm looking for a black tea base that has a similar taste to chai, without the spices. Does that make sense? Or am I just totally off my rocker?
I've cut down on my diet coke consumption and need to replace it with something and I thought that something could be various blends of hot tea. But I'm getting a little bored with just chai, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Supports a milling museum
To the editor:
Congratulations to the Keweenaw National Park Advisory Commission, and the Park, for purchasing the Quincy Smelter property. The National Park, which is trying to tell the story of copper mining in the Keweenaw, is one important step closer to representing two thirds of the overall mining process, with a smelter, shaft house, hoist house and underground workings at the Quincy Mine. The problem is that milling, the other third of the mining-milling-smelting triumvirate is completely missing.
If the advisory board/park can come up with $335,000 to purchase the Quincy Smelter complex, what about coming up with similar funds to purchase one of the two remaining milling buildings that are still standing?
The Mineral Building (Hubbell) and the power plant (Lake Linden) are still intact. The obvious choice is the power plant building. It is privately owned, had just been decontaminated and is on property contiguous with the Houghton County Historical Society Museum . It could make an excellent milling museum. It is nothing but a big, tall open space that could house numerous examples of how all that ore was turned into copper concentrate ("mineral") for the smelters.
Put a short elevator at one end of the building, and a gradual ramp in the center of the building gradually leading down to the ground, with examples of many of the actual equipment used to separate copper from rock lining the sides of the ramp to illustrate the gravity-driven operation of the mills.
Put examples of the more massive machinery at ground level along the building's sides, along with other exhibits.
Cut some actual ball mills cut open to show how they worked. Make mock-ups of actual machinery: (Grizzleys, slime biddles, separators, Collom Jigs, grinding mills, Wilfley tables, etc. (Explain) why one grinding mill or stamp was better than another: (Chilean vs. Hardenge, or Drop vs. Ball vs. Leavitt vs. Nordberg).
Include the last remaining steam stamp. Recreate examples of an overshot water-wheel driven drop stamp. The mills/machine shops operated with belt driven machinery. The processes used in the floatation plants and leaching plants could be explained, and perhaps partially duplicated.
Our modern 3D-manipulation generation would have a field day doing computer animations of some of this.
The Keweenaw was home to one of the most sophisticated industries in the world, and is home to a first-class technological university, so why can't we have a really good, informative technological museum explaining how it all was accomplished at a level intelligent people can appreciate?

text: Drew, first things first, if the motor wouldn't turn over and you had gas squirt out of one or more cylinders after you pulled the plugs, it was hydrostatic lock, not vapor lock. Hopefully you only had one flooded cylinder. There are two requirements for this to happen. First, you had to have gas flow out of your petcock without vacuum applied to the petcock (or the petcock is in the Prime position, if that is the case switch the petcock to the normal or run position). The second requirement is a stuck/leaky float valve in the cylinder involved allowing gas to over fill the carb and drain straight into the cylinder. If you are lucky the flooded cylinder was one of the outside carbs. I say lucky because I am pretty sure you can pull the float bowls without pulling the carb rack out of the engine. If so, you can make sure that the float is free to move and not stuck open. If it is free to move, then after putting the float bowl back on, I would tap the float bowl repeatedly as I put the petcock in prime to try to help the float overcome any stiction and hopefully float and thereby close the float valve. If the float is stuck open, you will need to disassemble, clean and carefully watch the first couple of times you start the bike to make sure your cylinder doesn't lock again. If you are unlucky, bad things can happen after hydrostatic lock. You could end up with bent valves. Anyway, if this occurred out of the blue and not immediately following some carb cleaning and reassembly, you might have fallen victim to what I suspected happened to me. This March I rode from Charlotte to Florida with some friends after not having any problems for a very long time. The next morning I had a cylinder locked. I attributed it to contamination from running way down into the reserve on my fuel tank and running some crud through that partially blocked the float valve open. After I cleared the cylinder and rode that day, the problem didn't recur. As far as follow on leaking not associated with the locked cylinder, that would have to come from a leaking hose or the fuel tubes that connect the carbs. Hopefully you will just find that your fuel line is cracked since that would be the easiest repair. But that also points to a bad petcock since you should not have fuel flow through the petcock when there is no vacuum present to the petcock unless it is in the Prime position. Hopefully this rambling makes sense to you and helps. Good luck! Bob Drew Blanchard wrote: > After a chilly start to the day, temps went into the upper 80s.

Jumping the Shark With DELL, ES and the Fonz
In the conclusion of what was unbelievably a three-part episode, main character Fonzie literally attempts to jump over a shark on water skis. My son was excited at first to view this, he'd heard the term many times, but was unaware of where it had originated from. Suffice it to say that it was an awful episode of a once great show, and I could not even watch the whole thing.
Unfortunately, there have been a couple recent examples of companies "jumping the shark," in terms of exiting the publicly traded arena in disappointing deals.
It's still hard to believe that Dell (DELL) is being taken out at $13.65/share. While not the company it once was, if the deal is accepted by shareholders, it will be a very disappointing end. I thought it would fetch a higher price, especially given the bounty of cash and securities on the balance sheet.
Dell ended last quarter with $11.3 billion in cash and short-term investments, and $2.9 billion in long-term investments, for a total of $14.2 billion in cash and securities, or more than $8 per share. Even netting out the company's considerable debt load of $9 billion, leaves $5.2 billion, or $3 per share. Yet the deal is being done at $13.65; disappointing to say the least.
While the Dell saga has been the headline grabber, it appears as though small nuclear play Energy Solutions (ES) will also end its run in the public markets in desperate fashion. The company recently agreed to be taken private at $3.75/share by Energy Capital Partners .
That may be a great price to those who took a stake last summer, when shares traded in the $1.50-$1.75 range, but this was once a $25-plus stock. It is a complicated one and has substantial debt ($811 million) and other liabilities, but $3.75 seems to be on the bargain-basement side. This company provides service essential in the nuclear space including decommissioning, decontamination, site clean-up, and should have a great deal of demand ahead of it.
The problem is, there's been little other serious interest since the deal was announced. Part of the deal with Energy Capital included a 30-day period in which Energy Solutions could entertain other bids. That period expired Thursday. According to an Energy Solutions press release, there were 24 other potential suitors contacted, and just one entered into a non-disclosure agreement to evaluate the company.

Topic: get the title of a remote webpage
Hi all,
I have two textbox like that:

Address

<%= text_field 'bookmark', 'address' , :size => 120 %>

Title

<%= text_field 'bookmark', 'title' , :size => 120 %>

When the first box is filled with an URL eg. http://railsforum.com , I want the second one to display the title of that page eg. "Rails Forum / Ruby on Rails Help and Discussion Forum".
I know I need to use getElementById("title") to get the title of a page but how can I do it with a remote page, do I need to use XMLHttpRequest?
thanx in advance

gluten -free hamburgers ON A BUN! first I've had out in so long, what a treat. get a cherry flip coctail with it and you'll be smiling:) not 5 stars bc no gf menu but food is great
360 Buckland Hills Drive, Manchester, CT 06040
last few times they were out of GF buns. we left and went somewhere else.
2100 Hamilton Place Blvd, Suite 317, Chattanooga, TN 37421
While I love that they have a GF menu, 4out of 5 times I've ate there the burger was burnt, dry, and completely nasty. I go hoping to have a good meal and end up disappointed every time.
3605 Horizon Blvd., Trevose, PA 19053
I have CD. Have eaten here multiple times. Gf fries from a designated GF fryer and a lettuce wrapped bacon cheese burger is my go to. Delicious, have never had a reaction.
4514 Centerplace Drive, Greeley, CO 80634
prime rib dip is awesome. good gf buns. good gf fries. limited but tasty gf options. great bar staff.
8311 NE Vancouver Mall Rd., Vancouver, WA 98662
Their fries give me a reaction, even though management claims it's a dedicated fryer. Somewhere in the process there is still cc.
12646 South Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60544
The servers paid special attention to my daughter's order after we asked for the GF bun with her burger. Great experience.
8720 IH40 West Frontage Road, Amarillo, TX 79124
The staff are really friendly, and I've never been gluten-bombed. AND they have a killer skinny margarita :)
1865 Hilliard-Rome Road, Hilliard, OH 43026
Most servers are knowledgeable
18810 E. Highway 40, Independence, MO 64055
The gluten free bun was not bad and the fries and burger overall didn't seem to upset me. The only issue was when I mentioned I had a "gluten allergy" the waiter just seemed to brush it off, not really taking it to seriously.
8720 IH40 West Frontage Road, Amarillo, TX 79124
My FAV place!! Never get sick here. They always take special care with my burgers and bring them out before the other food to prevent cross contamination. The gluten free buns are yummy too!
950 Shaw Ave., Clovis, CA 93612
It was a good experience. Waitress knew what I was talking about. She did not put my order next to my companion's order. They had to give me an iPad to see what was gluten free on their menu. When I went to another RR location the screens at each table had that info on it. Not here. I had no issues and I am sensitive. So good to eat Fries out - without the seasoning. I noticed this time they state that cross contamination can occur with fries and burgers.
314 W Washington St, East Peoria, IL 61611
Good burgers on gluten-free buns. Their endless supply of sweet potato fries are usually very tasty.
905 Holt Road, Webster, NY 14580
They are aware of celiac and offer gluten free buns that are pretty good. They also have a dedicated gluten free fryer. We'd eaten there many times until one night, the sweet potato fries arrived with a big hunk of breading in the middle of them. Our waitress called the manager out to show him and they did apologize and comped my meal, but it was too late. I'd eaten 3-4 fries before I noticed the breaking & ended up getting very sick :(
1250 Scenic Highway, Suite 1500, Lawrenceville, GA 30045
Got the burger with gluten free bun. It was really good! I do wonder why the white corn tortilla chips are not suitable for gluten/wheat free.
1208 Colusa Avenue, Yuba City, CA 95991
2014 Great fries and burger, and they have Udi's gluten free buns available. The house made potato chips with onion dip are really good. 2016 still have good (and safe) burgers and fries, but the house made chips are gone and I miss them.
2860 Route 34, Oswego, IL 60543
I have a Gluten Sensitivity (not Celiac) and they are very accommodating and thorough about it. Been here many times with no problems and their GF buns are great!
5043 Tuttle Crossing Blvd #205, Dublin, OH 43016
The waitress was very helpful when we mentioned our son needed a GF meal. She seemed to take great care in making sure our son's meal was made correctly and informed her manager as well. Since he's only 4, it will be tough to tell if he has a reaction, but this waitress took our requests seriously.
2235 Santan Village Parkway, Gilbert, AZ 85295
Horrible experience. Notified waitress of gluten allergy apparently she didn't tell the kitchen staff. When I got to the bottom of my fries there were onion rings = gluten. The manager came over and said sorry and left, didn't seem to care and didn't offer to discount our meals they messed up. My kids and I all got sick from it. Very disappointing experience. We won't be returning.
3055 Gateway Blvd, Prescott, AZ 86303
The gluten free bun is super tasty! No reaction and a happy tummy~
250 S Weber Rd, Bolingbrook, IL 60490
The Burger with the gf bun here is really good and the service was great
152 Stratford Square, Bloomingdale, IL 60108
3.5 stars. it's really tasty but my order has been wrong 4 out of 5 times and I had some moderate stomach pain twice.
100 Bluefish Drive, Panama City Beach, FL 32413
Very Celiac friendly! Loved the chili chili gluten free burger. The gluten free bun was the best we have ever had. It tasted like a Hawaiian roll. The fries were great! Will definitely go back!
14736 E. Indiana Ave., Spokane, WA 99216
Not celiac friendly. Slow service anyway. Avoid if you're celiac.
725 W. Main Ave., Spokane, WA 99201
Not celiac safe and service is slow.
4949 Great Northern Blvd., North Olmsted, OH 44070
Great gluten free burgers with the gluten free bun option. Awesome gluten free fries as well.
1431 Beaver Creek Commons Dr., Apex, NC 27502
Very carefully prepared meal. Manager and wait staff fully knowledgeable of Celiac!! Wonderful, safe eating! Update-- Three visits now, ordered different meals each time, and still LOVE this place!!
6005 Sky Pond Dr, Loveland, CO 80538
Not a lot of options. Menu had to be looked up on my phone and there was a risk of cross contamination with every item.
1184 Galleria Blvd., Roseville, CA 95678
I LOVE this Roseville location. Best service and they make sure nothing touches my burger or fries. I'm always asked before I can even say anything if it's an allergy and my stuff always come out marked specially. They really make sure if you have an allergy your food is safe. Can't say that about the other locations. Folsom is the worst.
2701 Ming Ave. #G15, Bakersfield, CA 93304
We are regulars at Red Robin and usually have no issue. At this location, with the order of sweet potato fries that were supposed to be GF and staff was aware of allergic sensitivity, we found a fried jalapeño, which isn't GF. We stopped eating right then and left disappointed.
6420 Grand Ave, Gurnee, IL 60031
Pretty safe when they are not busy and have time to be careful. I've eaten there many times with no problem but got glutened over this holiday season.
281 Easton Road, Warrington, PA 18976
Good food - many GF options. Staff and Management is on the ball with food allergies. Great place for families. Would recommend!
1050 Ed Noble Parkway, Norman, OK 73072
Stopped here on a Christmas road trip. menu was very clear and easy to communicate with staff. Food was brought separately and clearly marked. Would return.
12530 SE 93rd Street, Clackamas, OR 97015
Best location hands down! Every server I've had has been amazing. Haven't gotten sick from eating here and their attitudes and cleanliness are awesome!
789 N.W. Division St., Gresham, OR 97030
I've gotten sick from this location multiple times. dirty more times than not. I drive extra to go to the Clackamas location where they take celiac disease more serious.
15560 Cedar Ave., Apple Valley, MN 55124
Great bacon cheeseburger and fries Confusing GF menu on iPad Wheat and GF menus different, something is not right. I emailed them.
15560 Cedar Ave., Apple Valley, MN 55124
Went there yesterday, selected "gluten" to avoid on their allergen menu, and ordered the nachos. When my food came out, I had chips and cheese with no toppings so the waitress went back to check things out. While she was gone, I noticed a noodle melted into my chips. So I grabbed the next waitress that went by and explained the situation. A few minutes later, my original waitress came back and informed me that her manager said the noodle was "OK" because it was a gf noodle (Red Robin does NOT have gf pasta), but they were making me a new set anyway. Then the manager came by and told me that the nachos were "gluten free but not wheat free," showed me how the nachos disappear as an option when you select both "wheat" and "gluten" on the allergen menu, and then continued to argue that the nachos were gluten free. Clearly there are issues with food prep and the management no longer has the knowledge that used to happen at this restaurant. I ended up not eating anything that day. So sad to have to cross this one off my list of places to eat.
1235 Commerce Blvd, Dickson City, PA 18519
not for people with celiac disease. ordered gluten free burger and fries off gf menu. onion ring pieces (Not gluten free of course) found bonus two orders. very disappointing considering other locations have been excellent!
11500 Midlothian Turnpike, #428, Richmond, VA 23235
Dec 2016 update--went twice this month and both times it was terrible. We will not be going back, esp with other burger choices now in the Midlo area. The GFree bun had very hard edges both times, like they were stale and burger was cold. Previous review--GFree buns available and they are ok, I think they are Udis. I always get the cheeseburger and a side salad. We eat here monthly with kids. I have never had a reaction with those items. At the restaurant, they say the fries are GFree, so I risked it twice and had stomach ache both times, even with no seasoning. Also use to claim their vanilla shake was GFree, I had severe reaction a few years ago even though they supposedly cleaned the mixer and used a new container. So, stick to meat, GFree bun, lettuce or veggie, no extra sauces and you should be ok.
921 Norland Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201
Well informed staff. Very aware of what gluten free actually means. Very nice experience. Glutem free bun is very good.
613 River Highway, Mooresville, NC 28117
Great for those with celiac disease! The Weggie burger was great and the fries are fried in a separate fryer than any floured dredged items. The restaurant is pricey, but this Celiac person was excited to be able to eat out and not get sick!
7111 W 95th St, Overland Park, KS 66212
the service was very slow. new waitress was confused and had more tables than she could handle. menu was unclear that the hamburger came with a bun. I'm giving 5 stars because the waitress was still in training, and because the food was great. so far I have not gotten sick. the manager was very understanding and reassuring. we will definitely be going back.
1050 Ed Noble Parkway, Norman, OK 73072
Was in town for 2 weeks. Ate at this location a few times and had no issues. Knowledgeable staff!
3110 Waltham Blvd., Burlington, NC 27215
Had to use data on my iPhone to bring up gluten free menu. Staff was rude and my glasses got thrown away when they cleared the table! I was glutened after eating here.
10100 SW Washington Square Rd., Portland, OR 97223
I love everything about red robin, the food, the staff, the atmosphere. And most of all, they are a great place for celiac. They have a dedicated fryer upon request for the fries. They have options for a GF bun or lettuce wrap. And many sides are also gf including ranch. The online menu makes things easy to figure out. I do not get symptoms from gluten but have been diagnosed celiac. So I cannot tell when I have been glutened (a mixed blessing). But I have seen other reviews that report no symptoms.
502 Cross Creek Mall, Fayetteville, NC 28303
At least when we went, the server was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable, and the burger and fries were great.
1678 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
Very knowledgeable, great kids options. Will go back.
6522 Strip Ave. NW, Canton, OH 44720
Fried onion in my gluten free french fries...I've eaten here once before and no problems, the staff seems knowledgeable of celiac disease and contamination. Last time I was here I was able to pull up an allergen list on the tablet on the table but this time they said I had to look at the menu online. Also the root beer float they said I could eat last time they said wasn't safe, so they don't have it all together. Then of course I found a fried onion string in my basket of gluten free fries (dedicated fryer, so something got mixed up somewhere along the line). They were very apologetic but it won't stop the pain that's going to start here in a few hours.
2200 NW Stewart Parkway, Roseburg, OR 97470
Always feel safe here. This is our go to when we are in town. It's always been open when we have come. Staff is knowledgeable and very nice.
2260 Walnut St., Cary, NC 27511
They do not have a gluten free menu available anymore. They ask you to pull it up on your phone yet they do no have wifi. Very frustrating to order.
9050 Southwest 136th Street, Miami, FL 33176
My daughter has celiac. Service is horrible. I tell them she has celiac and she continues to get sick. Unless they are well educated on cross contamination and what celiac is we will never go back.
