Last week I finally got around to trying this Cranberry Vinaigrette recipe, clipped from a 2005 issue of Cooking Light. I found it too thick and too tart; it was more like unsweetened cranberry sauce than salad dressing. Left with a nearly full bag of cranberries, I altered the recipe and tried again. The second batch was still too thick, and I added too much sugar. The third time through, I simplified the recipe, adding more oil to dilute the tart flavors, and switching to mild apple cider vinegar. As the saying goes, third time's a good vinaigrette.
I like this on a salad of mixed greens, spinach, sliced apple, red onion, toasted pecans, and raw pepitas; the cranberries really jazz up these rich, earthy flavors. The nuts and seeds provide healthy fats, and the cranberries are packed with antioxidants.
Easy Cranberry Vinaigrette
1/2 cup whole raw cranberries, rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Purée all ingredients in blender. Serves 2.Maine's cranberry harvest is going on right now. Find some local berries and try this easy, healthy salad dressing!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Glad I'm not the only one who's dreaming about December in July! I may need to pull our the ornaments to dust them off!!! This year's Christmas theme is based off of the Annalee collection so I am hoping to tie it all together.
I picked out the annual holiday photo cards from tinyprints.com. We're going to go with the "Loving Laughter" card and now just need to get my family together to schedule the photo.

Hi Jacqueline,

March Goes in Like a Lion and Out Like a 501(c)3
Nothing says Spring like "Gala," WTT? couldn't be more excited to see the ice finally THAW. Speaking of, have you bought tickets for the Links Halls annual spring fling? It's on April 4th, and really more like a three-storey drunk performance art odyssey than a party. Last year I got an sickening sparkly free mani from Aiden Simon at the Girl Don't be Dumb salon, went inside of a space photo booth, saw Hope Esser ice skate on soap and watched more burlesque than I'd like to admit. For performance art, it's not too weird, it's really fun and it's not that expensive for how open the bar is, what more could you ask from a Thursday night? And the inclusion of DJ CQQCHIFruit and La Spacer this year? Too much.
Enough gushing. Clearly, this benefit season is going to be huge, but don't worry, WTT?s got you. Here are some notes on the best auctions and charity bashes around, in my not-so humble opinion. Can not wait to see what everyone looks like without a coat on!
You already know the scoop, tickets can be purchased through their website.
hArts for Art 5 : LVL3
LVL3's annual benefit auction is known to bring great names at reasonable prices with all works starting at $30. Past years auctions have featured Jon Rafman and Israel Lund amongst others. This years is no exception. We also love the LVL3 auction because the raffle prizes are copious and always awesome and it doesn't hurt that each year the event benefits local non-profit, Arts of Life. Learn more about the auction and the organization here on the LVL3 website. Full disclosure: I take no prisoners on the auction floor. The event takes place on March 29th from 6 to 10PM at 1542 N. Milwaukee Ave. Last bid is accepted at 9:30PM so be on time!
Summer Forum : Hosted by TUSK
Sandwiched comfortably in-between the LVL3 and R&C auction is the Summer Forum fundraiser and art auction at everyones favorite bite-sized boutique, TUSK. There are quite a few repeats from both LVL3 and the R&C auction, though it doesn't look like anyone got the hat trick. E-Dogz will be on hand, serving some serious benefit crossover and unlimited food with the purchase of a ticket ($25 presale or $35 ATD). Advance online bidding begins March 31, and the IRL event starts at 7pm on Saturday, April 5th at TUSK, 3205 W. Armitage Ave.
Roots & Culture 8th Annual Spring Gala
You don't have to be Hamza Walker to know that Roots & Culture's Eric May throws some of the best events in Chicago. Did someone say sangria and tapas? The lineup for the auction is pretty impressive too. Britton Bertran wasn't kidding when he called the night's auction list an Who's Who. The List features some of my favorite Chicago art luminaries and at least one Whitney Biennial-er.
oh shit! – @RootsandCulture announced their auction fundraiser for May 3 (always a Chicago's Artist Who's Who aka The List)
— Britton (@br_tton) March 7, 2014
I'd tell you who I'm excited about seeing at the auction, but I want the art all for myself! Find out yourself, the auction takes place May 3, from 7-11PM at 1034 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Spring benefit season is bookended by major heavy hitters with Threewalls rounding out the season. Another reliably good time, this year's gala is being held in the spacious digs down south at Mana Contemporary. The full lineup hasn't been revealed but, I'm jazzed on the news that DJ Earl (who you might have read about in the last edition of the T) will be there. The details might still be a little fuzzy but you can already buy tickets on their site. Looking forward to finding out what a Gunnatowski "wearable†looks like.

Skip to comments.Roberts did not change
Posted on 07/01/2012 8:10:34 AM PDT by DManA
If you wish to understand Thursday's incoherent opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, you must first know Republican history from the Summer of 2005.
Contrary to most that has been written since Thursday's enactment of RobertsCare, Chief Justice John Roberts did not change. He has always been that way. Eight years ago, when John Roberts was nominated, we were warned that he was a liberal jurist appointed by a RINO president, just as liberal David Souter was appointed by the previous RINO president. Two articles in July 2005 by Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter foretold the Souter-like liberal jurisprudence of Justice Roberts. We now know that Shapiro and Coulter were 100% correct.
President Bush's Roberts Pick Disappoints was written by Ben Shapiro on 7/20/5. Pull quote: "Roberts is not an originalist. There is nothing in his very short jurisprudential record to indicate that his judicial philosophy involves strict fidelity to the original meaning of the Constitution."
Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/07/roberts_did_not_change.html##ixzz1zNqrpjrj
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Bush just keeps looking worse and worse.
Roberts has been a consistent conservative vote until now. He has not been like Souter. Something other than Roberts being a stealth liberal is going on.
But what's going on with Roberts is his fissures have expanded in size ~ when the condition can no longer be controlled by even overdoses of depakote they'll have go go in there and dig out the tumor.
It's coming!
Obamacare.... Bush's fault ?
A reading of Ginsberg's hate filled concurrence, (directed at Robert's) confirms that assessment.
It's so obvious, in retrospect, that I can't believe we've all overlooked it.
This one particular quote from her separate opinion caught my eye:
"Health care is not like a vegetable or other items one is at liberty to buy or not to buy."
Really? How can a U.S. Supreme Court justice make a statement like this on one hand, while at the same time using some kind of unstated "right to privacy" under the Fourteenth Amendment as the basis for every decision the court has made related to abortion laws since Roe v. Wade?
Ruth Ginsberg knows damn well that the game is over, and she's sitting there on the Supreme Court as a semi-coherent old fool to watch it all unfold.
These justices have already written the majority opinions for every case that is brought against different elements of ObamaCare in the future as more and more of its provisions are implemented. How can a government compel someone to "buy health care" when Roe v. Wade is the law of the land? LOL.
Remember that Lawrence Tribe, his former law professor, was not surprised by Roberts' vote. So at least to someone who would know this wasn't out of character for Roberts.
But with the appearance that he changed his mind one has to wonder what caused this.
No matter what - he should have done his job - throw out the unconstitutional power grabbing monster.
Is there a way to get rid of a Chief Justice?
"It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."
As I've said before, he took this heap of sh!t known as Obamacare that had been dropped on his desk and threw it right back where it belonged: into the homes and businesses of every American who voted for the bastards who passed it and signed it into law.
The SCOTUS can't be relied on to strike down every idiotic law your idiotic Congressman votes aye on.
Today, EVERY law passed is an idiotic law.
Historically, SCOTUS has ruled exactly opposite of prior rulings within a few decades.
Slavery was upheld until shortly before the Civil War.
The SCOTUS Justices are only people and people are subject to politics.
The lifetime appointment is the only thing the framers could do to mitigate the political tendency as much as possible - which is not too much.
The liberal Justices find a legal rationalization for their political views. They never give in to a conservative view in their opinions.
The conservative Justices give in to the liberal view once in a while in their opinions.
So, over time, populism tends to gain ground.
Populism is the biggest problem in a representative government, since by definition it is designed to do the will of the people it governs, but since politicians must compete for elective office they tend to overdo it to gain votes. This means government over time starts to become corrupt in terms of spending taxpayer money, tends to ask less and less of large voting blocks whilst giving them more and more.
Good people need to run for Congress, real people. That is, non-political people who just want to do their duty for a few years and then get out.
Things won't dramatically change until "real people" in Congress are the majority.
All the raiding of the Treasury for votes needs to stop, the Congressional support of immorality needs to stop, government borrowing needs to stop.
All one can do with the current Congress is call one's Congressman and nicely complain. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Send emails to their staff. Be nice. Use polite language. Say nothing mean or bad in any way. But kindly and politely express your thoughts. If you're outraged, let them know.
It's good to dream.
"For me, this is a two-fold clarion call. First, to elect a Republican President and House/Senate majorities that will overturn ObamaCare in early 2013 (I'd note that now that it's formally defined as a "tax" it can be done with a simple majority in a GOP-controlled Senate under Reconciliation). Second, to push through some mechanism that forces Congress to spell out in legislation explicitly and specifically what Constitutional authority they are invoking, and limits SCOTUS to review of it on that basis alone. The fact is that this WOULD have gone down as unconstitutional had SCOTUS been limited to reviewing it exclusively under the Commerce Clause, and/or Obama's Solicitor General not put forth the argument that it was indeed a tax. "
This is the M.O. of stealth liberals. You hang out looking conservative on non-crucial issues but you are there for the Cause when the Big One comes along to do what you were put there for.
If that is his attitude he doesn't belong on the Court.
The problem with lawyers is they think that their contorted, freakin' word-smithery absolves them of bad freakin' lawyerin'!
And if you have a Kennedy to be the swing man who takes the conservative heat on most issues, you can vote with the conservatives until the really big one comes along.
No matter what - he should have done his job - throw out the unconstitutional power grabbing monster.
As i wrote to a friend:
Its my belief that Roberts had to severely contort and/or abort logical jurisprudence to arrive at this judgment, and its evidenced by the fact that he did in fact re-write the actual law as it was written
Its not the courts job to clean up Congresss screwups and make a mess created by them palatable and conform when it did not
~ ~ ~ ~
John Roberts = judicial gymnast supreme
Lord, have mercy.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest a few things:
1. Chief Justice John Roberts knows full well that Obamacare is unconstitutional.
2. In his legal opinion based on his own well-documented legal philosophy, however, it is NOT unconstitutional on the grounds that were brought before the court in this case.
3. ObamaCare -- or at least major elements of it -- is going to be declared unconstitutional on other legal grounds that are brought before the Supreme Court in separate legal challenges that are filed as various provisions of Obamacare come on line in the future. As other Freepers with legal backgrounds have noted, some of these provisions (the HHS waiver process, for example) are "arbitrary and capricious" by definition and cannot stand up to legal scrutiny. Others have noted that anyone who buys an insurance policy under the threat of a government-imposed financial penalty is basically signing a contract under duress, which voids the contract by any legal measure. Additional challenges are already underway or will be filed in the future based on the constitutionality of ObamaCare under the First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.
4. One kicker for Item #3 is that ObamaCare is so badly flawed that some of these provisions may not even be implemented as originally scheduled (the individual mandate in 2014, for example).
in retrospect, he was really pretty much a nothing...no distinction...a second rate choice which is why he got thru the hearings and onto the court...the rats knew they had a man who would twist the constitution anyway required...
this is the secret about "liberalism"...it basically requires that there be no norm, no rule of law...
the TLA love this....they can argue any nonsensical opinion and find a way to make it legal/constitutional...
How does the equal protection issue reconcile with all the waivers and bribes in Obamacare?
That's exactly the point. Someone else who has the legal standing to challenge ObamaCare on those items (a business that did NOT get a waiver, for example) can get on line with all of the others who will be filing legal challenges in the future.
Nothing will deter me from believing that Kagan was the agent who delivered the intimidation.
And Leahey was the chief perpetrator.
I think the more correct statement is: generally, most conservatives trusted George W. Bush to appoint a conservative to SCOTUS with his very first appointment.
Few people knew much about Roberts because he'd only been on a Court of Appeals for two years when nominated to SCOTUS. The Bushes knew him well because he'd been a Deputy Solicitor under Bush 41, and 41 appointed him to a C of A in 1992, but the nomination died when 41's term ended.
The Bushes had been trying to put him on the federal court since 1992, and W nominated him in 2001 at his first opportunity, and then put him on the SC at first opportunity in 2005, as CJ after Rehnquist died.
The Bushes wanted Roberts in the federal court system, for whatever reason. And do we need to discuss the peculiar nomination of Harriet Miers, which was eventually withdrawn and Alito nominated in her place?
As their brains deteriorate they begin to have much less interest in sex and focus far more on the drooling techniques of others.
Bush did not look good before he was elected. If you knew his grandfather, you knew the Bush family. Granddad help fund Hitler.
The last temptation is the greatest treason,
To do the wrong thing, but for the right reason.
I agree I think he has been a reliable conservative vote. Souter never was.
yet she loves her some romney
Not really, but we've all been over that part before.
Roberts has turned out to be a dud. He deserves no respect for that ruling as far as I am concerned - literally rewriting legislation to try to make it constitutional.
However...regardless of that - the fact still remains that law should never have been passed to begin with for it to come to before Roberts to rule on...and the Democrats must be held accountable for this in the fall - at all levels.
Does it matter?
This was the biggest and most important ruling in a generation and Roberts blew it.
He could issue 1000 great rulings going forward and none of it will matter one bit for his treason this week.

Chapter 7
Amos relates how he was called of God to be a prophet—He prophesies the captivity of Israel.
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
4 ¶Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
7 ¶Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again

Great Shoe!
"Great shoe with great support for any activity. You can feel the added support put into the heel of the shoe, but the shoe still remains very light for a cross trainer. Very comfortable, even for someone with a slightly wider foot, right out of the box. Great all around shoe for everyday, and athletic, use."

I have eaten here several times, and gotten pretty sick about half of those times, even though I always order the same thing. The current staff doesn't seem to care much about anything, really. The last time, there were dirty dishes on nearly every table and only one patron dining, and the rest of the tables had trash or sticky stuff smeared on them. Today the tables were mostly clean, but the dining room is otherwise filthy, with food and trash all over. That's not to say the food isn't usually good, but I've not had a good run of it here as of late. The 2 people I've spoken with the last 2 visits had no idea what "gluten allergy" meant. Maybe I should stop coming for dinner and try lunch instead?
Especially like that your gf meal is sevres in a allergen pan and they are very cautious of noting your meal is for someone with an allergy.
Pad Thai with shrimp is excellent! Owner knows all about gluten and will replace any dish with rice noodles. If you don't like something you can bring it back to him and he will cook you something else free!! Very friendly and excellent location!!
8538 NW Prairie View Rd, Kansas City, MO 64153
My favorites there are: pad Thai (no modifications needed), pesto cavatapi with gluten-free fusilli, buttered noodles or Wisconsin mac & cheese with gluten free fusilli.
161 Washington Ave Ext, Albany, NY 12205
I go here all the time and I've never had a reaction. I specifically like the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese, but almost all of their noodle bowls can be made gluten free if you ask. It's really a great place.
333 N Main St, West Hartford, CT 06117
My pasta was good, but I was definitely afraid of cross-contamination
7700 East Kellogg Avenue #1014, Wichita, KS 67207
They use separate cooking utensils and water in the gluten free noodles. I've been twice and they go out of their way to be careful and seem to genuinely care...plus it tastes great!
4545 La Jolla Village Dr, San Diego, CA 92122
Started asking questions about their use of gluten free pasta. Was told rice noodles are cooked in separate water. Then they pulled their allergy sheet to tell me what meals have gluten free sauce. Then discovered they have an allergy button attached to my order to take precautions. Was so excited to try, but my Nima test showed too much gluten for me to eat.
2000 E Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281
I ordered the Mac and cheese with gluten free noodles, and informed them I had celiac. The manager came over and approved the order and told the kitchen in front of me. We received our food quickly and I was enjoying it very much before my server came over and told us we had been given the wrong order and I was in fact eat the regular Mac and cheese. She asked if I still wanted MY order and I told her to just box it up knowing I would have my head in the toilet soon. She refunded my $5 meal, but left the other $10 meal on the bill, and the manager was too busy to talk apparently so I just hurried out.
4193 Riverdale Rd, Ogden, UT 84405
loved going here until they told me that the chicken they used was cooked on the same grill as gluten things.....making it not gluten free anymore.
3650 Rosecrans Street, San Diego, CA 92110
Great service and very good mac and cheese for my little one!!
4653 Keystone Crossing, Eau Claire, WI 54701
I've posted on here before but I was recently diagnosed. Since then I have gotten sick every time I've eaten here. There is just no way they can avoid cross contamination. That being said, the food is great and it would be an awesome place for NON-CELIAC gluten intolerant people. NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY!
7216 NE Cornell Rd, Hillsboro, OR 97124
I went with someone that got regular noodles and they mixed my noodles with the wheat noodles! I didn't notice until I had eaten almost the whole thing. They comped the meal, but I was sick for months. Never going to this location again!
4624 Town Crossing Dr #113, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Excellent place for gluten-free noodle dishes!
219 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, NH 03060
Chicken pad Thai is awesome! The kitchen isn't careful of cross contamination. I've found bits of other noodles in my food. Thankfully my sensitivity isn't as serious as others who are diet restricted. I wouldn't be able to have lunch with my sister here who has lupus and can't risk the cross contamination, so for that reason they get four stars otherwise it would have been five.

Don't go here if you are very gluten sensitive. I have celiac and the past two times I went here, I got sick 30 minutes later. Not to mention, I found regular, gluten pasta in the bottom of my bowl after I had finished my meal, which means they definitely cross contaminate.
3680 Brooks St, Missoula, MT 59801
They cook on a separate grill and noodles in a separate pot for celiac customers.
540 Nichols Rd, Kansas City, MO 64112
Everything here is cross contaminated.
996 Old Country Road, Garden City, NY 11530
The noodles were gluten free but poorly made. Won't be going back.
10340 South State Street, Sandy, UT 84070
I'll admit that I've eaten here before without many issues (a company like Noodles can't guarantee that their food is completely safe but I'd never had issues prior to my most recent visit, although it had been a few years since I last went here). However, a few days ago I went there for lunch and got violently ill (complete with DH) afterwards. After looking at our receipt, it turns out the waitress had completely ignored our request to make it gluten free. We told her two different times and asked her if she was sure that the chef could make it GF. I've had problems with cross contamination before but I've never been blatantly ignored like that. I guess my advice is that if you have celiac's, stay away from here, because the staff don't seem to believe you when you tell them it's important that your dish is GF. I will never be going back.
7301 S Santa Fe Dr, Littleton, CO 80120
The workers seemed knowledgeable about our gluten free needs which I appreciated.
1870 S 25th E, Idaho Falls, ID 83404
Try the Tuscan Fresca with rice noodles and pork... yum!
5108 Jonestown Rd, Harrisburg, PA 17112
The service was excellent and the server (James) was knowledgeable about their allergen menu and what sauces were gluten free to go with the Gluten free pasta. I had the mac & cheese with the tomato bisque and it was awesome! will definitely be back!
2575 Wabash Ave, Springfield, IL 62704
Several options. My favorites are Wisconsin mac & cheese with GF fusilli, Pasta Primavera with GF fusilli, and pad Thai with rice noodles.
1833 Blue Lakes Blvd N, Twin Falls, ID 83301
DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE CELIAC. I ordered gluten free noodles and they gave me GLUTEN noodles knowing fully well I had celiac. DO NOT EAT HERE.
5840 Douglas Ave, Des Moines, IA 50310
Mediocre (at best ) fast food chain . Very limited options . Plenty of good Pho in town . One place very near here . Adequate in a pinch .
414 South Duff Avenue, Ames, IA 50010
Noodle's & Co. has a lot of gluten-free options. Every menu option can be switched to one of the two gluten-free noodle options (rice pasta and Fazoli). Noodles & Co. has a gluten-free guide that is very helpful. I usually order spaghetti. Instead of meatballs, I ask for steak. The Tomato Basil soup is also gluten-free. The manager explains my options and then swipes his card on the register to put an allergy alert on my order. I have dined at Noodle's & Co. numerous times and absolutely love their food!! I have Celiac Disease and never have been sick afterwards. Highly recommend!!!
203 S 72nd St, Omaha, NE 68114
They try to accommodate. Though they believe the only thing they need to do to make it gluten free is replace the noodles with gluten free ones. they don't think about the sauces and such.
14662 South La Grange Road, Orland Park, IL 60462
I have experienced a few locations and have enjoyed gluten- free options everytime.
705 N 3rd St, Manhattan, KS 66502
This is a chain restaurant. I'm adding it for future trips.
1551 East 15th Street S., Tulsa, OK 74120
They offer two types of GF noodles, and they have a variety of GF sauces.
1186 Roseville Pkwy, Roseville, CA 95678
I got a gf salad and when I told the guy I needed to make sure it was gf, he did an "allergy alert-gluten free" on the order.
3833 Lexington Ave N, Arden Hills, MN 55126
Most dishes are gf with rice noodles, but if you tell them you are gf or celiac they will take extra care while preparing to avoid cross contamination. Good selection of asian and American noodle dishes from pad thai to spaghetti.
3030 Evans St, Greenville, NC 27834
They need a managers approval when you order gluten free and you say it's an allergy. The gluten free pasta is very good
4960 Houston Rd, Florence, KY 41022
I eat here several times a week. Staff is friendly, food is great, and they pay close attention to cross contamination. Highly recommended.
3268 N John Young Pkwy, Kissimmee, FL 34741
this place was great! They make the food to order so you can customize it. They have both gluten free pasta and rice pasta. They also have a card that tells you all the allergen menu items. Even better the price was reasonable. By far the best gluten free pasta I have had so far. I don't have celiac's, I eat gluten free for IBS so I appreciated the fact that they could also accommodate my lactose intolerance and my onion intolerance. I have not found many restaurants that can do that.
7541 W Bell Rd, Peoria, AZ 85382
such a great place! I ordered the pad thai and informed them of my celiac disease. they were very competent and nice. the food was great and I had no reaction.
7541 W Bell Rd, Peoria, AZ 85382
They will clean the wok when you specify your allergy or if you have celiac disease. They have all the options for gluten free sauces and you have two choices of pastas.
5710 W 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46278
You have to be specific with them if it is a severe allergy/Celiac but I haven't been contaminated yet and I eat here often.
2030 Mackenzie Way, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
We had gone to other noodles and company locations and ordered gf Mac and cheese without a problem in the past but my son with celiac got sick this time.
4640 Casey Boulevard, Williamsburg, VA 23188
Got served some regular noodles with my gluten free noodles after telling them I was celiac. If I was allergic to wheat, I would've ended up in the hospital. Do not eat here if celiac.
9646 Liberia Ave, Manassas, VA 20110
No matter what I tell the staff, their Pad Thai that they say is GF makes me very ill. It is tasty but it is not GF!
310 Collins Road Northeast, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402
food is good, and they have gf options, but it is not celiac friendly (per their website)
7822 West Sand Lake Road, Orlando, FL 32819
Was not gluten free. I could see remnants from the dish prior to mine made in the same pan. Was already home so I chucked it. Waste.
1528 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240
NOT CELIAC SAFE!! Cross contamination with breaded and non-breaded proteins on griddle!!
2205 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80206
I was at the Noodles and Company off of I-225 and Colfax in Aurora, Colorado. I asked if they had gluten-free noodles and separate cooking areas, etc. They assured me that they did. After I had eaten 2/3 of my Pad Thai, I noticed a large hollow wheat noodle mixed in with my GF rice noodles. I returned my food and asked them to remake it. One lady there (the cook?) had the worst attitude about it, and was hesitant to do her job. Fast-forward 12 hours: I am celiac, and I've been sick all night.
2035 Bond Street, Charlottesville, VA 22903
They are always helpful and willing to accommodate. They have GF pasta and most of their salads can be made GF. I love the chicken Veracruz salad with no crispy jalapeños.
8926 J M Keynes Dr, Charlotte, NC 28262
They made sure to ask if I needs it gluten free because of an allergy. When I said yes they put an allergy alert on it. The service was great and I had no reaction.
7822 Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819
my husband has celiac disease we thought they had gluten free menu and since the staff were very friendly and trying to help, we decided to try it out, but unfortunately he got really sick from eating there.
46360 Lexington Village Way, Lexington Park, MD 20653
The staff was very friendly and helpful, and any dish can be made with gluten free pasta. They take precautions to make sure there's no cross-contamination. And now, the macaroni and cheese can be made totally gluten-free with the fusilli pasta, much to my daughters delight.
820 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
Food tasted great, but I had multiple regular noodles show up in my "gluten free" meal... Hoping I saw them all!
5710 W 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46278
All dishes can be ordered with rice noodles, can you can ask them to change gloves and use different pans to avoid cross contamination!!!! Never had a problem!
1551 Valley West Drive #237, West Des Moines, IA 50266
While I'm normally fine at Noodles and Company, I have found non-gluten-free noodles mixed in my food twice now at this location. I always look through my noodles to double check at every location, but I would avoid this one if you are celiac.

|In response to Re: teflon tape on black iron gas pipe
: I had a gas line and meter installed and put together a gas distribution system. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to pressurize. It slowly leaks down in spite of all the soapy water on all the joints that show no discernible leaks. I have been told that it is because I used the wrong type of teflon tape - the white stuff which is gas permeable rather than the yellow "gas" stuff. I was also told that my installation would be rejected by the inspector anyway because of the use of the "wrong type of tape" and that I should tear the whole system apart and either use the yellow gas tape or, use a gas approved dope. Is this correct or is this Eagle Hardware fantasy?

Even the tallest redwood tree needed water to grow to its enormous size. Which is kind of how Twist Biodegradable Sponge Blossoms Cleaning Wipes work. Twist Biodegradable Sponge Blossoms Cleaning Wipes are easy to have hanging around because they're so darn small and handy. But when you need a sponge, just add water and stand back. Instantly, you've got a full-size sponge. Twist Biodegradable Sponge Blossoms Cleaning Wipes is like nature on fast forward. Cleans + Wipes. Add water and watch it grow. Paper towels have a lifespan of approximately one use. Yep, they're one and done. Then it's in the trash, on the curb and off to a landfill somewhere. Wouldn't it be better if a paper towel could be reusable and still biodegradable? Designed to work over and over instead of once? Heck, how about 1,000 times instead of once? Well it can, if you make it out of sponge. A Clean WorldWhen it comes to meals, some people love the cooking part. And lots of people love the eating part. But it seems like nobody loves the cleaning part. Twist was the same way. It bugged them. Why don't they love cleaning? Turned out, it was a lot of things. They didn't like the tools. They didn't like the way they felt. They didn't like the way they looked sitting on the counter. They didn't like what they were made of. So Twist decided to make some little changes. Nothing big. Just little things. Pretty soon they were getting a good feeling when they were doing the dishes too. And a new company was born. Twist believes in a clean world. And that means more than sparkling countertops. It means paying attention to what goes into their products (and what happens to them when they're tossed away). Please clean kindly. Meet TwistNot a lot of people love cleaning. They think it's because a lot of people don't love what they're cleaning with. Twist makes plant based cleaning products everyone loves. Twist made a complete collection of naturally spongey, plant based, scrubby cleaning marvels. They clean dishes, respect the planet, and look good doing it.

Skip to comments.Church rejects Mormon couple as Cub leaders
Posted on 10/22/2010 2:42:31 AM PDT by Gamecock
CHARLOTTE, N.C. In shopping around for a Cub Scout program for their two sons, ages 6 and 8, Jeremy and Jodi Stokes decided on the one at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, N.C.
The Stokeses, also of Matthews, weren't members of the evangelical megachurch, but they had many friends who were. And unlike the Cub Scout pack at their own church, which doesn't have a program for 6-year-old Tiger Scouts, Christ Covenant's was big enough to accommodate both of their boys.
The couple even signed up to be Scout leaders when they discovered the church needed adult help. And when the Scouting officials at Christ Covenant found out Jeremy Stokes was an Eagle Scout, they were thrilled.
So why did Christ Covenant reject the Stokeses' application to be Scout leaders?
Because they're Mormons. And, therefore, not real Christians, church officials told the couple.
"I can't believe they had the audacity to say, 'You can't be leaders, but we want your boys,' " Jodi Stokes said. "Are you kidding me?"
The Rev. Gabe Sylvia, Christ Covenant's staff liaison to the Scouting program, confirmed the Stokeses' account. He called them to apologize but defends the church's decision.
"When it became clear that they were Mormons, they could not become leaders in our pack. Mormonism is not consistent with historical Christianity," he said.
That view that Mormons, whose church is formally titled the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are not Christians is shared by other Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Christian churches, as well.
"It was so offensive," said Jodi Stokes, who was raised Catholic, then became a Mormon. "I have a picture of Jesus in my living room."
Members of the Salt Lake City-based church believe salvation is possible because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But significant theological differences separate Mormons from most Christian churches.
The LDS church treats as holy scripture the Book of Mormon, which isn't recognized by other churches, but which it believes was divinely revealed to Joseph Smith in the 1820s.
Mormons also disavow belief in the core Christian doctrine of the Trinity that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one instead believing the three to be individuals united in a single purpose.
Mormons believe the original Christian church vanished 100 years after Jesus' death and resurrection. The authentic church, they believe, was restored by Smith.
The LDS church treats as holy scripture the Book of Mormon, which isn't recognized by other churches, but which it believes was divinely revealed to Joseph Smith in the 1820s.
Mormons also disavow belief in the core Christian doctrine of the Trinity that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one instead believing the three to be individuals united in a single purpose.
And now, what does this congregation of the Presbyterian Church of America believe? From their website:
We believe in the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that people are saved by grace alone through faith alone and we believe that the Bible is God-breathed and our only infallible rule for faith and life.
"I have a picture of Jesus in my living room."
Well, that settles it, then! You're a Christian!
I have a photo of my grandparents in my living room. What does that make me?
I am not sure why anyone would be shocked at this story. Evangelical, orthodox churches require that leadership positions in their programs be filled by individuals that have like minded beliefs. Mormonism is considered to be a cult and there would be concern over this couple leading children who are being taught orthodox Christian precepts. The church had a right to make this decision and the Mormon couple should understand that to the rest of the orthodox Christian world, their beliefs are not compatible with Scripture nor tradition for that matter. I am sure that the family would be welcome to attend meetings or socials associated with the scouts, but to hold a leadership position for a troop affiliated with a conservative Presbyterian denomination would not be acceptable. I would also guess that if the couple were Roman Catholics they would also have been denied leadership positions. Certainly, as a fundamental Baptist, I would not expect to be a scout leader for a troop that was affiliated with a Roman Catholic Church because my understanding of Catholicism would not be what the Catholics expect their children to learn from their leaders. People should get over themselves and face reality.
Islam celebrates Jesus Christ as a prophet, too.
This has nothing to do with BSA and is controlled by the chartering org which is the church in question which has the right to allow or disallow any adult wishing to be a leader. The LDS is the largest sponsor of packs and troops in the USA and have even been allowed to adjust the program to fit their religion. I can tell you what the response would be by an LDS unit placed in the same position. No way! LDS leaders are not actually volunteers either being chosen by their bishops to serve as pack and troop leaders. Seems to me that the fellows complaint is not with the other pack but should be with the LDS pack that does not offer the tiger cub program. In addition I don't think he is a very good Mormon either not enrolling his children in the pack sponsored by his ward and following their carefully thought out rules.
You are correct. And Islam, just like Mormonism, leads people away from the truth and ultimately to destruction.
This is just plain silly. Mormons are among the best family oriented folk I have every known. Perfect for scout leaders. Pfffffft!
Oh...you're using the "C" word. That's like the Liberals saying that republicans are stupid: REDUCE to ridicule!
After doing wedding photography in many different houses for years and dealing with the people that run them, I have learned that the love of God does not drive many so-called Christians, but money and their NEED for confirmation of their belief does. THAT is why they are intolerant of other metaphysical beliefs.....and ridicule others and call them names. Just like our politicians....
One old philosopher (Aristotle?) said that he despised those who claimed to have a special connection with the almighty and would grant absolution for a consideration.
If you want the REAL answer about today's organized religions, look at egos, finances, and this belief in the spiritual good-old-boy networking. To clarify that remark: the belief in continual forgiveness makes no sense to me; we were given commandments, not suggestions.
People should get over themselves and face reality? The reality is that if one religion is a cult, all religions are cults. There is nothing wrong with that, unless the ego can't take it.
There is one small issue here: Mormons are not Christians and this is a Christian church.
I would understand the church not wanting someone outside their faith to be a leader in their church. How does theology affect being a scout leader? Certainly a Mormon, Jew or Catholic can share a value set without sharing a theology. Boy Scouts don't get particular religious training in the scouts, do they?
As a Jewish Eagle scout, this really bothers me. Obviously, the church has the right to do this, but should they?
In 1941, my father founded a Boy Scout troop at the Jewish Community Center, sponsored by the B'nai Brith, here in York, PA. His co-founder was Rabbi Alexander D. Goode. In case anyone does not recognize the name, he was one of the Four Chaplains who went down with the USS Dorchester in WWII. The Chaplains, a rabbi, a priest, and two ministers, all gave up their life jackets so that others may live. They linked arms, and went down, each saying his own prayer.
The conditions under which Rabbi Goode and my father agreed to found and lead the troop were that no boy would be denied membership or advancement on account of race, creed, religion, or national origin. In 1952, it was the only troop in the country to have boys earn the religious awards in all the major religions, including Mormonism.
It was, IOW, an American troop, and my father was succeeded as scoutmaster by a series of Christian men, several of whom were awarded the Shoffar award, usually reserved for Jewish scout leaders.
Every so often, I will run into a man, who tells me that my father saved him from a life of criminal activity. None of those men are Jewish.
"THAT is why they are intolerant of other metaphysical beliefs.....and ridicule others and call them names"
First of all, I have not called anyone "names". It is common knowledge that Mormonism or the Church of the Latter Day Saints is not by any standard considered a part of orthodox Christianity. Orthodox Christianity includes Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxism, and the various groups of Anabaptists like the Amish and Mennonites. All of these diverse Christian groups would agree that Mormonism does not hold to the tenets of Christianity as has been laid down in the past centuries. My point was to explain that a Mormon couple , although most likely welcome to join in social events at the Church cub scout meetings, were not going to be given positions of authority within the organization based on the fact that their particular belief system is not in line with orthodox Christianity, in this case the Presbyterian Church in question. It is important to understand that the undermining of Christianity today is due in large part to the wishy washy attitude of certain sects who have ignored Scripture and embraced the kind of ecumenism that destroys doctrinal strength and the ability to display the truth. I am sorry that your experience as a wedding photographer has left you with a dubious understanding of the Christian faith,and it is certainly shameful on the part of those churches you visited that all they could demonstrate to you, an outsider,is monetary greed and hubris, two positions the Bible clearly considers sinful. You also said that I was using the "C"word which I am unfamiliar with unless you are referring to my use of the word "Catholicism". If so , it makes no sense to infer that my usage of the "C" word was in any way pejorative. I merely placed it in the context of an example of how I,as a Baptist, would not be offended if my child was attending a Roman Catholic sponsered Cub scout group, and I was not asked to be a leader. I would assume that the Roman Catholics would want their leaders to reflect their own vision and not that of a Protestant's.
Well, according to the Mormon in this article, it makes you a disciple/follower of your grandparents. According to me, it makes you the owner of a photograph of your grandparents.
Is it a slow day in Mormon-bashing land and we had to drag this out again?
Yeah, I can just imagine an eventual convo around the Cub scout fire ring on an outing...or later on a Boy Scout fire ring on an outing...
....some 'Scout asks Mr. Stokes about marriage...and, having seen a Mormon bumper sticker that reads "Families are Forever," inquires of that...(who knows? Maybe even Mr. Stokes has such a bumper sticker?)...
...and of course, Mr. Stokes, being the "best family oriented folk" he is, proceeds to confuse the hell out of any 'Scout within hearing range that he believes his marriage with Mrs. Stokes will be forever...
...and that they'll both grow up to be full-grown gods (from the "gods in embryo" -- a common Mormon leader term used to describe married temple Mormons) who will live with their family on their own planet.
[Sure. That's what kind of informal outing convos this church wants to sponsor as Mormons, who have had programs in the past labeled "every member a missionary," take the opportunity to share their unique version of the "gospel."]
You forgot to add if you are Mormon or not. It helps clarify the conversation.
Same goes for the statue in my living room of the woman referred to in the Gospes as "highly favored", "full of grace, and of whom the Gospel says all generations shall call blessed: the blessed virgin Mary, the mother of my Lord, who Jesus always honored in accord with the Ten Commandments.
The LDS Church is the best example of proper and effective use of the program, and their youth involvement is especially strong. Witness how many of their missionaries are former scouts, and Eagle Scouts at that.
I wished they had told us what kind of camera they used.
Q. 109. What are the sins forbidden in the second commandment?
A. The sins forbidden in the second commandment are, all devising, counselling, commanding, using, and anywise approving, any religious worship not instituted by God himself; tolerating a false religion; the making any representation of God, of all or of any of the three persons, either inwardly in our mind, or outwardly in any kind of image or likeness of any creature whatsoever; all worshipping of it, or God in it or by it; the making of any representation of feigned deities, and all worship of them, or service belonging to them, all superstitious devices, corrupting the worship of God, adding to it, or taking from it, whether invented and taken up of ourselves, or received by tradition from others, though under the title of antiquity, custom, devotion, good intent, or any other pretence whatsoever; simony; sacrilege; all neglect, contempt, hindering, and opposing the worship and ordinances which God hath appointed.
"It was so offensive to say I was not a comedian," rwfromkansas said. "I have an autographed picture of Jeff Foxworthy."
But then I might be wrong too.
I believe the Charlotte Observer broke this story with their Oct. 19 article. In that article the journalist mentions Mark Turner, executive director of Mecklenburg's Boy Scouts Council. According to that journalist, Turner "said Christ Covenant is within its rights as a chartering organization to apply additional leadership qualifications, as long as it also honors those the Boy Scouts insist on."
I would say that this Church believes that its Cub Scout leaders should believe in one God. The God. That's what the Boy Scouts focus on as a key standard.
Mormons? They believe in many gods:
They believe a "heavenly father" exists named Elohim.
They believe a separate god known both as Jehovah and Jesus Christ exists.
They believe a third god exists, the Holy Ghost.
Their hymnal contains a hymn singing to a fourth god, a "mother" god who is the "wife" of Elohim.
Their writings reference a "council of gods" and Joseph Smith said the "head god" appointed Elohim for this world. (How many are in that council? Who knows)
And then they believe millions more have become gods or will become gods.
That's hardly adhering to the Solo God standard!!!
I guess I was wrong. :-)
Right, because six year olds ask what bumper stickers mean on campouts.
When I was in, I know our sponsoring church had zero impact on who our leaders were. Maybe there is a rule in the official BSA charter that chartering organizations can do whatever they want, but I have not seen it. All I have seen is a local guy say that it is in the rules, without showing the rule or quoting it.
As for this church, even if they are allowed to decide on who is a leader, this move makes them look like cowards. To me, it makes them look like they are afraid of anyone who doesn't toe the line in their doctrine.
"I would say that this Church believes that its Cub Scout leaders should believe in one God. The God. That's what the Boy Scouts focus on as a key standard."
From the article:
For Sylvia, that at least means that Scout leaders must believe in the Apostles' Creed - a profession of faith dating back to the early centuries of Christianity.
Stelle Snyder, the spokeswoman for Christ Covenant, said it could even extend beyond that. A decade ago, she said, the church had to say no to a Catholic dad who wanted to coach one of the church's sports teams. Catholics, she said, often stress good works as the road to salvation more than many Protestants, who emphasize grace. And she said it's part of the role of coaches in her church's sports outreach program to share Bible stories.
So it's not just based on one's understanding of the Christian God/creed. No Catholics Christians or Lds, which is fine. A church has a right to choose who they want to be leading their youth I reckon.
Not likely. But an 8 yo might.
IN general, the cub scouts and boy scouts require that the leaders be religious, but not that the leaders be of a particular religion.
I guess they allow chartering organizations to discriminate further, although I would guess they would frown on a church requiring leaders all be of the same denomination. Whether they would allow christian churches to refuse to allow a jewish scout leader, I can't say — but they are pretty sensitive to the charge of discrimination.
So if a church has sports teams for children, and choose members over non-members to be coaches, they are "cowards?"
Yes, they can. The sponsoring group/church has a lot of leeway in the determination of critieria for leadership in their troop.
Even the BSA national agrees that the decision is theirs.
The LDS exercise this right all the time, on the West coast to Zion (Utah) it is extremely rare if not unheard of to have non-LDS leadership in an LDS troop.
Sorry, I missed where we were supposed to wear our religious affiliation marks on our sleeves.
For the record, this is my denomination, as my church is also in the PCA. It is also the denomination I have chosen as being closest to what I believe scriptures teach, so I am not PCA by accident.
Does that help "clarify" the conversation?
I should note that some PCA churches believe that having a picture of Jesus is a violation of the 2nd commandment, that thou shalt not have a graven image.
My church does not allow sunday school material that includes pictures of Jesus, and they discouraged people from going to movies that depict Jesus, such as the Passion of the Christ. (My church is PCA).
This is just plain silly. Mormons are among the best family oriented folk I have every known. Perfect for scout leaders. Pfffffft!
-= - - - - - - -
Fine and they can be scout leaders in an LDS troop. That still doesn't make them Christians.
Your response mad me laugh.
Sorry. My points were clear. I don't like organized religion - - of any flavor. I agree with no religious club. I attend no church, or whatever you want to call it.
I firmly believe in God. I also firmly believe that the evil one encourages religious secularism, animosity, hatred, ridicule and war. Just like politics, there's money involved; so, the leaders must keep their followers as followers.
If you want the REAL answer about todays organized religions, look at egos, finances, and this belief in the spiritual good-old-boy networking. To clarify that remark: the belief in continual forgiveness makes no sense to me; we were given commandments, not suggestions.
- - - - - - - -
Look at the LDS church, perfect description,their egos, finances, and the good old boy network. Not to mention the 'continual forgiveness'.
Afa your comment if one religion is a cult all of them are, depends upon your definition of 'cult'. There are three. All religions are 'cults' only using the Anthropological definition.
Mormonism is also a cult using the sociological definition (high control group) and theological definition (outside traditional Christian belief while claiming to be Christian). The latter two do not apply to over 90% of religions.
BSA has different awards/goals depending upon the religious affiliation (if any of the sponsoring group). the LDS one is VERY different from most Christian ones. I can see where faith would be an issue.
PYW posted a chart the other day with the different awards and denominations/religions.
Nicely framed distinctions.
To paraphrase the good captain, "What does a PCA church need with a Boy Scout troop?"
"The reality is that if one religion is a cult, all religions are cults."
Exactly. There is nothing in Mormonism that is not shared by religion in general. A belief in the metaphysical.
"colorcountry; reaganaut; greyfoxx39; Colofornian; P-Marlowe"
Yup, call in the cut an paste queens.
A grandchild.
To me, it makes them look like they are afraid of anyone who doesnt toe the line in their doctrine.
- - - - — -
No, that would be if they refused to allow a Methodist or non-denominational Christian to be leaders.
Mormons are a different bird all together.
Oh lease, dixjea. Show me my last cut and paste (that wasn't lyrics or a picture), or retract your accusation.
If there weren't such a WEALTH of claims, statements and downright lies from mormon leaders all the way down from Joseph Smith, there wouldn't be any material TO cut and paste.
Nice false accusation...
I give it am 8, would be a 9 but it could have been more detailed to really catch the uninformed...

Gazza: the myths and the man by Aaron› 28 May 2012
Continuing our celebrations of the English icon that is Paul Gascoigne, this week we're looking at some of the incredible stories that have helped to make him the Gazza that we all know and love. Over the course of the next five days, we're going to reveal some of the answers that Gazza gave after we quizzed him on some of the most outrageous myths we'd heard about him. Needless to say they're almost all true!
Today Gazza is giving us the lowdown on two questions:
Did he, an hour after playing for England, meet up with Chris Evans and Danny Baker in a pub still wearing your kit?
Did he bet Jimmy 'Five Bellies' £1000 he couldn't stand the heat of a lighter on his nose for 5 seconds?
Click the video above now to see what Gazza's reply to these questions was….


text: Parenting is no easy task, especially if you're a single mom doing it alone. Single mothers have to do it all, but sometimes we need a little help. Your children are the most important thing in your life as a single mother, and nurturing and providing for them can be a challenge when you don't have a partner to share the parenting.

: I had a problem with my toilet and decided to take the toilet bowl out and replace it. My surprise was that the toilet flange seems to be in Cast Iron in one pieces molded with the piping. Of course the holes for the screws are broken and now I can't reattach the toilet bowl to that flange. All the other flange in the market have the same dimensions and can't install them over the present one. I am at lost as what my next next step should be.

Skip to comments.Al Gore arrives in Copenhagen
Posted on 12/14/2009 5:36:40 AM PST by rdl6989
COPENHAGEN As international climate talks appeared in danger of disintegrating, Al Gore arrived to a rock stars welcome in Copenhagen today.
If Copenhagen is the enviros' Woodstock, then Gore is The Who, the Grateful Dead and Creedence Clearwater Revival as a one-man band. The former vice president drew such a big crowd that security had to shut down access, with hundreds of unhappy activists left outside.
Inside the mobbed room, Gore watched as Danish and Norwegian officials presented a new scientific report that the sea levels are rising much faster than previous estimates. snip
The former vice president has scrapped a $1,200-a-head fundraiser for 3,000 guests scheduled for later in the week, to the dismay of Danish organizers.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Copenhagen will break records for low temperatures this week. The correlation with Gore's travels are uncanny.
Was CCR at Woodstock?
I hope those poor folks loaded up on fuel and mittens. Al does know how to chill out.
Dear Mr. Gore...you have given your children an inheritance the likes of which they will not be able to overcome. Shame on you for all eternity.
Moeller also quoted the 19th century conservative British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, saying that to be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge, drawing a chuckle from Gore who, last week, traded barbs with Sarah Palin, describing her as a global warming denier.
Gore doesn't realize how that aphorism applies to him!! on the march to knowledge, he's hasn't taken the first step!!
It doesn't take much to entertain some people.
awwwwwwwwwww they are sad they could not pay the biggest schemer of carbon crap $1200?
They are all insane communists that can have Gore. America is done being raped and robbed so these sick people can become billionaires.
The Winter Warlock maybe??
Yes, they were.
Gore arrives in triumph like Bernie Madoff arrives at an investors' conference (before he got caught). Algore is the Bernie Madoff of Carbon Credits. If we cut down CO2, we starve the beloved 'rain forest' which thrives on CO2. The vaunted Hydrogen Car emits water vapor, the leading offensive 'greenhouse gas'. He is truly a conflicted man.
I hope this impasse is for real and blows up in his face.
This is surreal.
Why, when I read this title.. the old Mighty Mouse cartoon song, entered my mind?
"Here I come to save the day...."
'One Man Band Arrives In Copenhagen.'
'Hot Air Melts Prince's Ice Castle.'
'Hot Air Causes Copenhagen To Rise Several Feet Higher ... Above Sea Level.'
Parade with AlGore Floating Above The Street. Supporters Hold Tight To Strings SO he Will Not Rise Into Space.'
"Gore arrives in triumph like Bernie Madoff arrives at an investors conference (before he got caught)"
Bingo. It would be interesting to investigate Gore for insider trading. He has profited from government policies.
If Bernie got 150 years for 50 billion. algore should get 2000 years. The irony is that he'd get out as the next naturally occurring global warming cycle happens.
Al Gore arrived to a rock stars welcome in Copenhagen today...
I hope the SouthPark folks at Comedy Central have a parody ready for ManBearPig....They are not big fans of the global warming windbag..
I had always heard that Ken Lay of the hated Enron was the founder or inventor of the carbon credit. If true, I wonder if these people would even care, Also if true, It should be hung right around Gores neck like a piece of rotting meat.
Yes, CCR was at Woodstock but got bumped to @ 3am after the Grateful Dead overplayed their set. By that time, most of the attendees were in a likely "haze"
If Copenhagen is Woodstock, then iGore is the bad acid.
Running to him like a bunch of Rashneeshies. They used to call us Deniers too.
Pray for America's Freedom
Did he travel by raft and rickshaw, or did he get there in a gas-guzzling, pollution-spewing, ozone hole-depleting private jet?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I THOUGHT I heard heavenly trumpets and choirs of angels this weekend! Now I know why - Al "the climate whore" Gore made an appearance before his flock of sheeple!!
"Old hippies don't die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again." — Joseph Gallivan
In the early 70s, I sat on a panel that previewed new tv shows and commercials. One of the things we previewed was this very skit. (The original, of course).
It was funny then and still funny now (no matter who does it).
Thanks for this.
No way. His kids will be filthy rich. That is the problem with our Congress and President. They are all filthy rich, get superior healthcare and will never suffer from their corruption.
Think about anyone on a salary/fixed income salarie. When massive inflation hits (which it will given our 14 trillion debt which will grow to over 100 trillion with SS and Medicare, seriously), these people will suffer horribly. And most of these people are the poor and middle class.
"Inside the mobbed room, Gore watched as Danish and Norwegian officials presented a new scientific report that the sea levels are rising much faster than previous estimates"
I have lived here on the west coast by the beach for the last 54 years. There has been not sea level rise other than the two high tides we get everyday ( we get two lows also). The shoreline is the same, it's not higher, not lower, it's where it has always been. I know this is not a very scientific observation but just as the boy in The Emperor Has No Clothes I can only comment on what I see.
No, not even a little. Sociopaths know little of conscience, empathy or honesty. Guilt is a tool they use, not something that they experience.
Tune: "Wonderful Copenhagen"
Warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Climate gatekeepers in town
We will say it's hot
Even when it's not
We will pass the gas around
In warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Putting the foolish in fuel
Now I'm turning green
Getting sick, I mean
Singing Copenhagen
Warmerful, warmerful
Copenhagen is cool!
I flew on my private jet
To pay off my climate debt
Meeting Algore for cocktails today
And there he stands, waiting for me
With a welcome so warm if I pay
Warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen . . .
Warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Climate gatekeepers in town
We will say it's hot
Even when it's not
We will pass the gas around
In warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Putting the foolish in fuel
Now I'm turning green
Getting sick, I mean
Singing Copenhagen
Warmerful, warmerful
Copenhagen is cool!
Tune: "Riders on the Storm"
Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm
Is it hotter than the norm
Or just turning back to form
Gore would sound the warning horn
And make cars that run on corn
Why it's getting warm
There's an inconsistent flaw
In his scientific law
There's not one single cause
For why an iceberg thaws
The conclusion that he draws
Is giving us guffaws
An inconsistent flaw
Gore, you incoherent goof
Gore, you incoherent goof
It doesn't take a sleuth
To see your lack of proof
Here's an inconvenient truth
It's still freezing in Duluth
You incoherent goof
Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm
Is it hotter than the norm
Or just turning back to form
Gore would sound the warning horn
And make cars that run on corn
Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm . . .
rdl6989: "It doesnt take much to entertain some people."
Article: "The former vice president drew such a big crowd that security had to shut down access, with hundreds of unhappy activists left outside."
Aren't they riding arounding in limos and curling up with prostitutes? What more do these globe-trotting pimps need?
Gore spews so much hot air, I'd think the temps would go up.
Wouldn't it be great to have a jihadist blow up the building when they are all inside? That's global warming I can relate to. Plus it helps with their Marxist population control desires. Win-win as I see it.
Did he ride into Copenhagen on the back of an ass while his followers laid their coats on the road?
BTW, anyone notice the new link on Guugle with Algore?
"New! Explore impact of climate change on Google Earth"
If Sarah is a "denier" of Global Warming (count me in), then Gore is a "supplier" of Global Warming.
algore is perfect as the leader of the warmer-crats. He is so clearly a Flim-flam man in his mannerisms and his standard "baffle 'em with BS" retoric.
Noting today that the 3rd worlder's have walked out of hopenhage following over the weekend a major recant by a major warmer-scientist, Drip, Drip, Drip. The next thing you know they'll all be as gone as their old rally-cry term "Global Warming".

Live Webcast - Flash
EPW Hearing Room - 406 Dirksen
As the high level segment of the United Nations Climate Change Conference begins in Denmark, U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, will hold a press conference to deliver remarks on Copenhagen and climate change
[[awwwwwwwwwww they are sad they could not pay the biggest schemer of carbon crap $1200?]]
you know? I just had a htought- instead of requiring everyone to contribute funds to this scam- perhaps we should just require ONLY those ignorant fools who support Gore to pay for cap and trade- let's start out with a test run- make htem carry the burden since they are the ones so horny to 'fix the planet'- then, after 20 or so years, we'll look at the data again- and IF there is ANY evidence showing we are able to affect the climate, then perhaps start requiring the fence-sitters to carrythe tax burden.
IF these peopel are so desperate to throw their money away by handing it over to Al Gore and his criminal empire- then I say let them do so- just leave the rest of us out of their madness

Fly Fishing Knots
Nothing is more frustrating than being on the water with fish moving and having to tie a knot that is difficult to tie. You can prevent that by practicing knots at home. In fact, you should be using no knot on the river you aren't absolutely comfortable tying. The best way to become comfortable is practice. Here are some tips on making the most of knot practice.
- When learning any knot, begin tying it with line that is much larger than what will eventually be used. For example, if you fish most often with 4X tippet, then practice your knot with 6-, 8-, or even 12-lb line. Gradually move to the smaller line as you become more comfortable with the new knot.
- You can practice tying knots while doing something else, such as listening to music or watching television. In fact, this prepares you well for fishing and tying knots. You should be able to watch for new rising fish while tying on a fly in the background of your focus.
- Tie several dozen of any knot before you feel you can tie it in outdoor conditions.

From East Coast Sports...
Rumors that we will target Alex Smith... Thoughts?
From East Coast Sports...
Rumors that we will target Alex Smith... Thoughts?
Love it. Alex Smith is just a solid QB, not anything special. But... that's all we need right now. I say draft a QB and develop him, but for the time being sign Smith and have him be our guy.
Not a big fan, is he really that much of an upgrade over Fitz? When I have seen him I can't help but think of shades of previous QBs here the last 5 years.
He's not a free agent. Unless the 9ers cut him we have to make a trade.
Love to sign Smith and have him compete with Aaron Murray for the job right off the bat.
I'm thinking he'll sign with AZ if he's outright released. He'd have Larry Fitz and be able to play SF twice a year while staying out west.
Smith is not much better than Fitzpatrick, so I hope they Draft a couple and land a great one that way
lol look at smith rating then look at the 59m dollar flop. Come on Alex Smith would be good for Buffalo. They would need to build a solid offense line. Yes still draft a qb get rid of every qb buffalo has.
Find me anyone who is worse than Fitzpatrick and I can guarantee they have not been in a NFL uniform in years. Alex Smith would be a definite upgrade to you ho hum guys.
I don't think Alex Smith is in Jim Harbaugh's plans for the future. He's thrown his lot in with Colin Kaepernick. That presents the 49ers with a problem. They would have a disgruntled former starter collecting butt splinters next season, and they would have a starter who could not be happy about getting backup pay. They will likely try to trade Smith if they can. If they don't find any takers, they could conceivably cut him to save cap money that might eventually be used to extend Kaepernick.
My adopt-a-Bill is John Miller.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

spatula I tried your suggestion of waiting a few seconds. That does work. I didn't realize the arduino reset every time a serial connection is made. Is this constant across the arduino line? Also has me wondering if there is a way to prevent the reset on opening the port. At the moment the most immediate solution that comes to mind is writing a daemon to handle serial comm with the controller.Your thought on my not handling the \r \n characters. Technically I do handle any characters that I am not interested in. Those just get overwritten with the next character from the serial stream. Which probably isn't overly elegant but does make the code simple.Thank you for your help. I will have to follow up with some daemon or other code once I have something working.
