A previously undisclosed e-mail from a top State Department official identified the terrorist organization that carried out the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said Wednesday. The e-mail went out four days before U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said in several TV interviews that the assault grew out of a "spontaneous demonstration."
Gowdy said the September 12 e-mail was sent to senior State Department officers from Elizabeth Jones, acting secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs. The South Carolina Republican, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, read the message aloud at a committee hearing on the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three members of his staff. Gowdy said the e-mail is not classified, but claimed Democrats on the committee had blocked its release. He urged the Democrats to exercise "bi-partisanship" by agreeing to make the document public.
Jones wrote that she had spoken with the Libyan ambassador to Washington, Gowdy said, quoting: "I told him that the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists."
"Let me say that again," Gowdy said. "She told him. The State Department, on September 12, days before our ambassador went on national television, is telling the ambassador to Libya the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with terrorists."
Gregory Hicks, deputy chief of mission under Stevens, said Libyan President Mohammed Magariaf was on U.S. television talking about the planned terrorist attack on the U.S. mission on the same day Rice was on five Sunday morning interview programs saying a "spontaneous demonstration" at the consulate had been "hijacked" by extremists. Hicks, who was at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli at the time, told the committee there was no evidence of a demonstration prior to the heavily armed assault and that he was certain Stevens would have called to tell him about it if there had been.
When asked what impact Rice's comments had on relations between the United States and the Libyan government, Hicks said U.S. officials ran into bureaucratic resistance and that it took about 18 days before the FBI was allowed in to investigate.
"The crime scene was unsecured for 18 days?" Gowdy asked, his voice rising.
"Yes," Hicks replied.

I take partial responsibility for the argumentative direction of chalst's article. Apologies to chalst.
I'm beginning to reconcile myself with GNU/Linux. In particular I think it is perhaps the ultimate legacy system. Making a system compatible with every exisiting public and proprietary standard is no easy task and certainly not a desirable one. Even if the mind set is still within the proprietary realm, the software is generally more friendly, open and acessible. GNU/Linux is certainly a positive result and a step in the right direction.
With colorForth I decided to move the editor out of the kernel. The editor is the only application included in the kernel and requires graphics and input available in the kernel. With the editor in colorForth source, there is more flexibility in implementing the graphics and input. Besides this colorForth will be easier to port, as the editor is currently a signifigant application implemented purely in x86 assembly.
With editor in source, I'd like to implement the graphics in GLX/OpenGL and the input in X11. This will result in one C file which will be the bridge from the archaic disorderly world of Linux to the orderly logical world of colorForth. I think the words implemented in C will simply be passed to colorForth as a symbol table. This way C can handle all the linking and loading of libraries. This is also how XcolorForth works, except C words do not become part of the dictionary.
The point of all this, is that colorForth will be suitable for C platform applications while keeping the simplicty and interactivity of native version. The troubling part is of course all these layers of complexity that are present, and all the possible bugs that are not related to your code. Of course this is the result in any C platform based application development. Abstracting from the C functions at least the colorForth code can be easily ported from compromised state to the native state.

Chapter 5: Plate Tectonics
But it all seems so solid!
Besides flying around on a ball of rock — orbiting a giant ball of burning gas and spinning in circles about an axis — the ground you sit on is moving! Just as Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo had trouble convincing people that Earth orbited the Sun when it clearly seemed that Earth was at the center of the universe and everything moved around it, early adherents to the idea that continents could move had to fight against, well, common sense. Over the past century the idea that continents could move was proposed, studied, abandoned, and finally accepted.
We'll start this concept with a field trip back in time to the scientists that developed plate tectonics theory. First, we'll visit Wegener, and then we'll get aboard ship to learn about seafloor spreading. Finally, we'll travel around western North America to see the features created by the different types of plate boundaries there.

Chapter Summary
In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener was the first persistent scientist to propose the idea that continents move around on Earth's surface. The meteorologist amassed a tremendous amount of evidence but could not think of a mechanism that others would accept to explain how solid continents could plow through ocean basins. Wegener's idea was abandoned. His continental drift idea was resurrected after World War II when scientists started to put together data about the seafloor. The astonishing features of the seafloor, the strange pattern of rock ages across the seafloor, and the history of the magnetic north pole on land, gave scientists in the early 1960s a great deal to mull over. From this work Harold Hess propose seafloor spreading as a mechanism for drifting continents. The resulting theory of plate tectonics is the explanation of what happens as plates of Earth's lithosphere interact at different types of plate boundaries.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – American Family Association has asked a federal court to stop enforcement upon it under the Affordable Care Act.
In its three-page motion, the Tupelo-based Christian organization said the national health care act must be stopped so that it will not be required to provide its employees insurance coverage for abortions and abortion-inducing drugs.
The AFA filed a federal challenge to what's called "Obamacare" on Feb. 13 in U.S. District Court of Northern Mississippi asking "to operate in a manner consistent with its religious beliefs."
Judge Sharion Aycock presides over the case.
AFA claims the new law violates its "religious convictions and missions" and that is has sought a religious exemption to the new law.
"AFA does not seek to (stop) the HHS Mandate as to all employers, but only as to itself," it says.
The lawsuit says AFA discovered it did not qualify for a religious exemption because it is not a church or house of worship and, for other reasons cannot be grandfathered or secure a one-year "safe habor" until its new health plan begins Aug. 1.
Defendants in the lawsuit are Kathlene Sebelius, U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services, Seth Harris, U.S. secretary of Labor, Jacob Lew, U.S. secretary of the Treasury, and their individual departments.
The defendants have yet to respond to the legal action.
AFA also claims it "will suffer irreparable harm" without the a halt to the effects of the health care act.
In an accompanying affidavit, AFA president Timothy B. Wildmon said his employees must "credibly profess faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord" and the organization is strongly anti-abortion.
Compliance with the health care act would violate the Sixth Commandment against committing murder, as well as AFA's First and Fifth Amendment rights under the constitution to freedom of speech and due process.
Wildmon says the "dilemma is impossible for us," to deprive its more than 100 employees of health insurance or to pay for abortions.

American Apparel believes that sexuality should be celebrated, not condemned. When California voters passed Prop 8 in 2008, we let our community know we would support whatever stand they wanted to take. American Apparel believes in freedom, expression and equality, things that are inherently condemned in the prohibition of gay marriage. After printing a few hundred Legalize Gay t-shirts for a rally near our factory in downtown Los Angeles, the company received thousands of requests from people all over the world who asked for us to expand it.
With many of our employees and customers identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered, we are a company that is vocal about our support for the protection of gay rights. Scores of our employees were on the frontlines of protests in cities across America, handing out hundreds of Legalize Gay t-shirts to supporters, and putting them in our store windows in protest of violence against gays and discriminatory court decisions. We also had a lot of fun at PRIDE rallies and celebrations. We've since given away over 50,000 of these shirts, run protest advertisements nationwide and even partnered with HRC for their enormous march on Washington.
When some people wanted us to stop carrying BUTT Magazine, an important gay culture publication, we refused to back down and continue stocking it in all of our stores today. Xtra!, a gay Canadian newspaper, supported our decision in an editorial:
That's why it's so wonderful to read in this issue about the recent flap over American Apparel's support of Butt magazine. When the story first broke in the mainstream I was sure I knew the outcome. American Apparel would pull Butt from its stores, issue an apology to its customers and fire some poor schmo from the purchasing department.Sometimes what we do is controversial and not everyone agrees with our opinion. We heard this loud and clear when bigots shattered one of our store windows in Washington DC to intimidate us into pulling the shirts from our displays. It didn't work--and we're campaigning now stronger than ever. We hope that you can understand that we're sincere about this and that we think it's important, just like we are about Legalize LA.
Instead it called Butt "a wonderful fashion, culture and art magazine," acknowledged that it was a hot seller and said it would continue to offer it to its customers.
American Apparel handled the objection and hysterical mainstream media coverage rationally and brilliantly. It's so encouraging that a large US retailer is willing to embrace sexual expression - gay sexual expression - not only as a moral and aesthetic act of goodness but also as a singularly effective marketing tool.
NewsAmerican Apparel Reaches Out To UWW Students in Wake of Hate Crime Over T-Shirt
Last week, American Apparel was contacted through Facebook and informed that a student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater was physically and verbally assaulted for her sexual orientation. The victim was wearing one of the company's Legalize Gay t-shirts at the time of attack. Hate crimes such as this are abhorrent and we deeply condemn them. Despite the unfortunate event that triggered it, the immediate response of this young woman's fellow students to hold a campus wide rally as a show of unity was incredibly inspiring. In response, we have run the following full page advertisement in the university newspaper offering free Legalize Gay t-shirts to any member of the student body who can put it to good use.

Prop 8 Overturned!
Jonny Makeup
The overturning of Prop 8 by a California Federal judge today is wonderful news. Equality and Freedom are very important ideas to my company, American Apparel. That's why we committed ourselves to fighting for the legalization of gay marriage. This ruling is one of many steps necessary in the fight for true gay rights and we're eager to continue to support any activist, customer and employee who is making a difference in it. Legalize Gay!
Charleston, South Carolina's Gay Pride Event
Charleston, South Carolina recently hosted the city's first Gay Pride event in the city's history. The Pride events kicked off with a parade that I was able to attend while representing the company that I work for, American Apparel. I had the privilege of being on the South Carolina Pride float with the King and Queen of the parade. People were excited and sincerely grateful to receive the Legalize Gay merchandise that I was tossing to them from the float. I believe that the parade goers were not only excited about receiving free clothing, but were also excited to receive free clothing from a company that stands up for their civil rights and sympathizes with their struggles for equality. I was so proud to represent American Apparel at Charleston, SC's first gay pride event ever. Thanks for standing up for me.

Yesterday, an American Apparel store in Silver Spring, Maryland had a window broken by someone upset over the company's support for gay marriage.

We'll also send Legalize Gay t-shirts to any group in Washington DC that is fighting for gay rights and will help support any protest or rally for the cause.
We don't find this kind of thing funny and we definitely don't find it intimidating. Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us and if you need anything please contact: Jonny at [email protected] or (213) 488-0226.

I just wanted to send a message to you to acknowledge how proud I am that a company of such success is standing by their position on such a contentious issue. Personally I find it revolting that a country that has evolved over hundreds of years still finds it acceptable to retain even the most basic rights, such as marriage, from any of its own citizens.

Hey, I just wanted to say I am a straight male who is in complete support of everything you are doing. I wear my 'Legalize Gay' shirt with pride. I have many gay friends (including my girlfriends brother) and it makes me sick that things like this happen. I praise you and AA for everything you are doing and I would love to help in any way I can to support your cause. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I wanted to send you a belated thanks for sending us the Legalize Gay T-shirts they were a hit as an incentive for our survey! During Pride we had over 200 people fill out the survey at our booth then another 800 people filled have since filled it out at home. The American Apparel T-shirts were a great help!

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Nathan Smith
|It sucks. They have totally given it to the rafters and kayakers. They flood the river (increase flows 5X) and it pushes the fish down river then the cut the water off and stran them. It is still a beauty and the fishing is OK but it isn't what it was 2 years ago. I would try the Housy in CT or the Millers locally.
|John Desjardins
I can't give you any info on the Deerfield, but Wednesday on the Swift below Quabin I caught nothing on several hits. Typical water levels, temperatures, etc.
I also tried a tributary of the Quabbin It was at a low flow level,with temps in the high sixties, measured by wet wading and possibly highly inaccurate. There are a good number of brookis in the river that are hungry and don't see many flies at this time of year. I got a lot of practice at LDR's and some to hand on a red quill. The basic method was to find water 1.5 feet or deeper and then fish it. If your interested e-mail me and I'll give you the locale
One other item that I got on my travels came from the shopkeeper at Flaggs fly shop in Orange, MA. This year may be a good fall for the Millers river. The normal # of fish went in in the spring, but he didn't think many have come out due to high waters in the spring. Dawn and dusk supposedly have been producing there.
Good luck, I wish I were going fishing on saturday rather than digging post holes for a fence.
Deerfield info??
Has anyone been to the Deerfield recently? Going *someplace* on Saturday...trying to decide between the Deerfield, Farmington or the Swift....

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Oh man, I hope that shoulder part can sit lower, it looks like a weird collar the way it is there. Also, the likeness doesn't work for me, and the hairline is not the right shape. This looks like an easy pass for me. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
>.< you know, I was actualy looking forward to this figure, as it is one of the few I vividly remember seeing in stores as a kid. I also like the look of the card. But . . . that figure just isn't worth it with the prices these days.
You know a figure is bad when you were planning on buying a particular one to leave carded . . . and you pass on it because the figure just isn't good enough.
I know what you mean. I don't think she's a $10 improvement over the last one. In fact, I'm not sure she's an improvement at all; she's got more joints and more detailed fabric (heck, fabric at all), but the likeness and the slapped-together look make her a lateral move, at best.
I wish they'd learn: while we like more articulation, articulation at the expense of a decent-looking figure isn't worth ten bucks.
That's my jacket!
You guys are spot on with this one, that's quite how I feel as well.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Having seen some loose pics that were posted to Facebook, I'm rather impressed by the posability. I still think the head isn't as well-done as the previous one, but, otherwise, she looks pretty impressive.
Maybe Hasbro should be less concerned with posing these like they would've been in 1980, and more concerned with making the actual figure look good by posing it slightly. Then again, this line is confirmed dead, so it's a moot point.

As a teacher, I believe in holding the bar high, so students get the most from my classes. It's very important for me to offer students the best educational opportunity possible. And I find that this philosophy fits with the University's. Adler offers a very comprehensive and well-supported student experience. Those in the MAC program graduate with a sound knowledge of counselling skills based on theory and practice. They are prepared to work in many settings and with many populations. And our attention to social justice better prepares them to work with clients who have diverse needs.
I also enjoy teaching at Adler because it is a student-focused, nonprofit school. I appreciate the University's responsiveness to its students and its faculty and am happy to be part of a team who prepares students for success.

JACKSON — The Mississippi State Department of Health is reporting eight new human cases of West Nile virus, the lowest total in months.
Two new cases were reported in Perry County, while one new case apiece was reported in Adams, Jones, Lincoln, Rankin, Perry, Sunflower and Washington counties.
The state has now reported 233 cases and five deaths this year. It's the highest-ever number of West Nile cases reported in Mississippi, which has suffered one of the highest 2012 per-capita rates of the disease of any state.
The number of cases has been slowly falling in recent weeks with cooler, drier weather.
In 2011, Mississippi had 52 West Nile virus cases and five deaths. The Health Department only reports laboratory-confirmed cases to the public.

Company Notes: Alexander Holland was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1823. At the age of six, he witnessed Charles Carroll, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, lay the cornerstone for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in Baltimore. Holland married in Maryland and had two children, a daughter, Mary Helen, and a son Charles. While living in Pennsylvania, they had Frank, who later went into business with his father.
The 1870 census shows the Hollands in St. Joseph, Missouri, but soon after the census was taken, Holland, who was then 46, brought his family to Kansas City to run a boarding house called Crafton House at 1013 and 1015 Main. The following year he set up in the auction and commission business in a building at 553 Main, the heart of downtown Kansas City. In 1880 he switched to selling clothing and shoes. He advertised his business on one of his trade cards with the caption: "Clothing, Gents' Furnishings Goods, Hats, Boots and Shoes."
In 1890 he incorporated the company with his younger son, Frank, as A. Holland and Son. The other son, Charles, appears off and on working in the same business, other times running a different shoe store in Kansas City, and returning to St. Joseph in 1893.
As his business grew, Holland expanded his store from 553 Main to include the facility next door. When Bullene, Moore, and Emery & Co. moved from the well known location on Main, Seventh, and Delaware streets, Holland moved briefly into that location. The orderly interior design and display of merchandise shown in the photographs in Kansas City: Its Resources and Their Development attest to Holland's business acumen. In 1892, he moved to 1021 Main, and 15 years later, across the street to 1032 Main. This last store occupied an area that later became part of the Macy's store and is now (2006) a parking garage.
Amazingly, Holland actively participated as president of the company until four years prior to his death in 1914 at the age of 91. His son Frank then took the reins and managed the Holland Shoe Company until his death in 1921. Thus ended 40 plus years of the Holland Shoe Company selling shoes to Kansas Citians.
Alexander Holland was a charter member of the Old Men's Association, sang with the Old Men's Quartet, and served as a founding member and president of the Kansas City Commercial Club. His family attended the Westminster Congregational Church and resided primarily at 302 W. 14th.
His daughter, Mary Helen, married a prominent Kansas City physician, Dr. Caleb Ritter, who donated his services to the Willows Maternity Hospital. Upon the death of Mrs. Susannah Holland, Dr. Ritter and his wife purchased the "Dorcas" stained-glass window for the church in her memory. Alexander and his wife Susannah and Dr. and Mrs. Ritter are all buried in Elmwood Cemetery.

"Page 33 - Whenever a blind is placed prior to a mark going down and it is to be run after the mark is retrieved, the blind shall never be placed in the same area of the fall or near enough to the gun station as to intentionally mislead the dog on its mark."
Master Test
Double Mark – First bird throw is flyer
Blind in between the marks, roughly 25 yards from both falls and is hot. (bird planted)
Instructions to handler – after both marks go down, pickup first mark of your choice, then run the blind, then pickup second mark.
Judges actions : if flyer landed too close to blind, no bird was called and sent back 3 dogs.
Would this constitute a violation of the rule stated on page 33?
Not if the distance from line to marks created an AOF for each mark appreciably smaller than 50 yds in diameter. Scale of the test is key to determining its legality, if the marks were out 30-50 yds would you allow a 50 yd AOF (25yds either side of the bird location)?

For the record, these marks were 100 yards or so. I ask this question, not as pro or dog trainer but as a judge. Two different hats. I try very hard to think of tests both ways. I read the rules and I try to judge by them and frankly my trainer hat has higher standards. I expect my dogs to be able to handle this. In no way do I want to demean another judge. However personally, with my judging hat on, and sadly with my 30 years of dog experience, I don't see how I could personally set a test like this and expect dogs to not get in trouble with this blind. It clearly, in my opinion was violating the rule I quoted and in my opinion this rule was added a few years ago due to this exact scenario. I've run hundreds of tests with more dogs than I can count, however for the purpose of rule discussion, if this doesn't provide an example of a hot blind that interferes with marks then what does? Why did we bother to implement this rule at all? I also ask myself, if marking is of primary importance, why would any judge put this test together. Remember the rule book says "marking is of primary importance," it does not say "pin-point marking in the face of huge distraction is of primary importance..." If the judges wanted to test a dogs skill, they should have added another mark, ran the blind first or last without it being hot and scored the dogs based on exhibiting their skills. That is my opinion, my opinion only and if I never judge another test because of it, too bad.

If that was the same test I was gun'in, the flyer was the last bird down (Go Bird) on that double w/interrupted blind.
Yes, the flyer was a bit tight to the blind (30-40yrds off line, upwind of the flyer), but seemed that the dawgs that marked the flyer were good to go. And the ones that had trouble w/the planted bird couldn't handle the dogs off it. Sunday's test was tight also......
Damn doggie games anyway, made for some heavy cuts in each series for a HT.

Paul, just a bad set up and with judges wanting to drop dogs, but still not a voilation. I would see no reason for this kind of set up other than to drop the dogs. I have done poison birds when I could not talk my co judge out of it, but only if the blind was a very good distance from any of the marks. That is not near as bad as sending your dog on a blind and here comes a bird and you have to no them off that bird and continue on to the blind.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Neil -
It really depends on how and what you are pursuing.
For instance:
If trout are sipping dry flies you might try an upriver cast letting the fly drift down drag-free without putting the line over the fish.
If it's steelhead you're after you would cast down and across and let the fly swing all the way over to the "dangle", which is where the fly stops down river from you before casting again.
For smallmouth bass or other fish that will chase a stripped (retrieved) fly, the cast you were making would work fine.
Unless you spot a fish, it's best to keep moving to cover a lot of water but don't wade deeply to avoid disturbing our finned friends.
Good luck
Casting on Moving water?
I was casting on shore on a pretty quick moving creek today and wasn't sure I was doing it correct I was casting out into the middle and letting it drift with the current, and when it was just at about 10:00 I would retrieve it. what am I doing wrong or right?>

Gluten free pizza and lots of other options. Really great food.
I wish I did not give then even one star! This review is actually for the one in DULUTH but I don't see theres on here. terrible place for celiacs...2x got sick from eating here. last time I told the manager and he was a complete rude idiot. He told me I didn't know what I was taking about. ...wait staff had no idea what gf was. .. brought me a glutenous bun by accident then glutenous fries. THIS PLACE IS NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY. ..the manager was a waste of time to talk to. They Should stop saying they are offering gf. . They DON'T
Their GF BBQ pizza is the best out there.
I normally stick with the pepperoni pizza. Last month, I tried one of their new artisan pizzas, and I think there was something glutenous in the toppings. A few months ago on a busy night, I attempted to order a burger with a gluten free bun, but they kept bringing it out with glutenous items on my plate, so I wound up asking for a pizza instead. Other than those two instances, I've never had an issue with the food, and my husband and I always enjoy going here.
They have gluten free buns!!!! I was so happy to have a burger not on multiple lettuce leaves!
I had a pizza the other night, it was tasty, the crust was soft, slightly doughy (think school pizza when you were little). It was served in a foil type tray, which seemed like the tray it came in (seems to be the newest way to reduce cross contamination). The server, nor the kitchen could tell me whether certain toppings were gf though, so be cautious. They also offer gf buns now too, but I haven't tried them.

Gf pizza wasn't cooked all the way and the waitress refused to bring me another one..
301 Rice Lake Square, Wheaton, IL 60189
Very happy they have gf options. You can get burgers with gf bun or gf pizza which was very yummy!
805 Town and Country Ln, Houston, TX 77024
When I walked in, I asked for a gluten free menu and the hostess said they had nothing gluten free as I turned to a page in the menu with gluten free buns... Then I was reassured that it would be safe by the waitress who seemed to be clueless as to what celiac disease was. I was very ill the next morning. I do not recommend. They didn't even get back with me about my complaint.
11170 N Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75243
The only reviews on this location were a few years old, so I decided to give the gluten free pizza a try this weekend, hoping they've improved their practices. Nope. I ordered the gluten free pizza and went over the importance of my food not touching anything else, changing gloves before making my food, and cooking my pizza on a separate surface. And I still got glutened. Also, the pizza was kind of gross. I ate several pieces because I was really hungry (and it was palatable, not terrible), but I didn't enjoy it, had a headache and upset stomach before the movie was over, and have spent the whole weekend being sick. :( if you must eat here, sneak in your own food or eat the packaged candy if you know it's safe.
1600 S Stemmons Fwy, Lewisville, TX 75067
I ate here last night. Ordered the GF cheeseburger with a side of fruit. Waitress assured me she would talk to the kitchen staff and make sure they changed their gloves, etc. I'm so sick today, and I won't be risking it again.
301 Rice Lake Square, Wheaton, IL 60189
I was really surprised by the other review - only their pizzas and popcorn are gluten free, none of their other food is. We've eaten their pizzas hundreds of times and never had a problem.
301 Rice Lake Square, Wheaton, IL 60189
Gave me a regular bun instead of gluten free. Pay attention before you start eating. I already took several large bites. Also since they have fried breaded items, odds are that the French fries are cooked in the same oil so I certainly wouldn't classify it as gluten free friendly. At least they have fruit as an option as a side. Pay attention to bun!! Judging by everything else I wouldn't try the pizza as highly likely its contaminated.
8580 Highway 6 North, Houston, TX 77095
We love going out as a family and this place gives me that option. I love the pizza!
1600 S Stemmons Fwy, Lewisville, TX 75067
I ordered gluten free pizza, the pizza delivered to me looked "too good" to be gluten free, so I stopped a server to ask if this was the gluten free pizza and he said yes and it wasn't his problem. It was absolutely gluten-filled pizza.
5140 Commons Drive, Rocklin, CA 95677
Place was a lot of fun. Burgers were definitely good with their gf buns!
8580 Highway 6 North, Houston, TX 77095
They have finally changed their menu again to show that they do serve gluten free items (such as pizza crusts and buns). They change their menus frequently, so always ask every time you go. Gluten free pizza and nachos are awesome.
11170 N Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75243
they do not pay attention to cross contamination, and the wait staff are not knowledgeable at all. I reacted the two times I tried their Gluten-free burger.
225 Merchants Row, Arlington, TX 76018
Showed up the waiter had no idea what gluten free was and they were so busy i decided it was not worth the risk!
8580 Highway 6 North, Houston, TX 77095
No gluten free menu or options. Food is subpar. Ordered myself a burger that came with soggy fries and the burger itself pretty bland. On the plus side, my husband is Celiac and has been fine eating the chicken nachos (has had these 3 times before without being glutened). That is the only food he will eat there. We do love the combined movie and drink option but the food itself leaves much to be desired. TIP: reserve your seats early online or buy your tickets in advance as you have to select your seats at the time of purchase.
8580 Highway 6 North, Houston, TX 77095
Studio Movie Grill changed thier menu and got rid of all of their gluten free items.
11170 N Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75243
I just recently went here to watch Ironman 3 and I got the GF pizza. I really appreciate the effort they made to provide gluten free options so I can enjoy the experience with my girlfriend, but I have to say that the GF pizza was terrible. I managed two pieces and then had to stop. I haven't had any reaction so I'm sure I'll end up trying something else there, but I'm not sure what. The biggest disappointment for me is that although they have GF buns, they don't have GF fries. Still I appreciate the effort and I'm sure that I'll go again.
4721 W Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093
GF pizza crust is ok and GF hamburger bun must have been frozen because it was cold in the middle.

text: How does this work? There is a house across the street. It's been abandoned and in legal limbo for over 3 years. The owners left it after running away from some criminal activity. The house sat empty and with no care all of that time. Numerous complaints to the county to get the place cleaned up were a waste of time. The basement was flooded about 4 feet deep for an entire summer and mold was visible growing on the inside of the windows. The mold is what finally got the health department out there to look at it. So after a long process it finally goes to public auction. Here's what I don't get. The house was last sold in 2005 for 545,000 to the owner tht abandoed it. Along comes Fannie Mae to the auction in August of 2012 and pays 531,740.00 for it at the auction even though a quick search shows that this is way overvalued for the current market. After hiring work crews to work on it a little bit,it's finally offered on their HomePath website for sale listed at 329,000.00. A full 216,000.00 loss plus the money put in to the guys working on it. Does flipping houses at a 200,000 loss right off the bat get housing going again? Who gets the money? How many of the thousands of houses on Fannie Mae's HomePath website are sold at big losses like this?

Most people in Charleston have been blessed with never having had to wonder where their water for the day will come from or whether it is safe for drinking, and locals joined together with Water Missions International for the 7th Annual Walk for Water to support and raise awareness for the global water crisis affecting one billion people worldwide on Saturday, March 23.
The large crowd of participants gathered in Cannon Park and picked up white buckets to be carried during the walk. The buckets symbolized the trek women and children are forced to make to collect water in developing countries, and the 3.5 mile walk wove throughout historic downtown Charleston before returning to Cannon Park.
The family friendly affair got underway with smiles, laughter, and high fives from a man in a pig-suit. "Hey, Mr. Pig Man!" chorused a group of children, who all trotted along balancing their buckets on their heads with one hand.
The three and a half mile route wove back to Cannon Park, where participants relaxed and enjoyed snacks, drinks, the opportunity to merchandise, and informational displays about the water crisis from Water Missions International.
Water Missions International's Walk for Water is an annual event that advocates for those affected by the global water crisis and raises funds to provide safe water around the globe.

TAMPA (FOX 13) - The South Tampa woman connected to the Gen. David Petraeus scandal has called police to her home several times in the last few days, and at least once tried to invoke "diplomatic protection."
Two 911 calls were made from the Kelleys' home on Sunday. In the first recording, a man whose name was redacted says there is someone at the door who won't leave his property. The second caller, who identifies herself as Jill, says there's someone lurking in their yard.
As the call ends, she makes an apparent reference to her role at MacDill Air Force Base, which the Associated Press has described as an "unpaid social liaison."
"You know, I don't know if by any chance, because I'm an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability, so they should not be able to cross my property. I don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well," she told the 911 dispatcher, who agreed to pass the information along to police.
Three more calls were made to police on Monday, all to the non-emergency number.
In each one, the caller identified herself as Jill Kelley, reporting trespassers on the property.
"They're trying to push the door open; they won't leave," she says in one call.
"Are you sure you don't know who these people are?" the dispatcher asks her.
"I do not know who they are, no," she insists.
But her role as unpaid social liasion at Centocm is interesting, what better way to get information than to host parties for US brass and foreign officer and official delegations visiting CENTOM.

This story is odd, I doubt we find out the truth on this one.

CT - IYO is Jill Kelley a spy?
Can anyone here shed light on this?
CT - IYO is Jill Kelley a spy?
@AC360: #Breaking: @FranTownsend's source tells her #Petraeus had designated #Broadwell as his archivist. FBI was at her house last night for docs
@AC360: #Broadwell was planning to write 2nd book about #Petraeus. @SuzanneKellyCNN says it's possible FBI took docs related to her research
ETA: My prediction: Kelley is the weak link and will be the fall guy in all of this.

Pulitzer Prize, General Nonfiction, 2007This is a sweeping narrative history of the events leading to 9/11, a groundbreaking look at the people and ideas, the terrorist plans, and the Western intelligence failures that culminated in the assault on America. Lawrence Wright's remarkable book is based on five years of research and hundreds of interviews that he conducted in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, England, France, Germany, Spain, and the United States.
The Looming Tower achieves an unprecedented level of intimacy and insight by telling the story through the interweaving lives of four men: the two leaders of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri; the FBI's counterterrorism chief, John O'Neill; and the former head of Saudi intelligence, Prince Turki al-Faisal.
As these lives unfold, we see revealed the crosscurrents of modern Islam that helped to radicalize Zawahiri and bin Laden; the birth of al-Qaeda and its unsteady development into an organization capable of the American embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania and the attack on the USS Cole; O'Neill's heroic efforts to track al-Qaeda before 9/11, and his tragic death in the World Trade towers; Prince Turki's transformation from bin Laden's ally to his enemy; and the failures of the FBI, CIA, and NSA to share intelligence that might have prevented the 9/11 attacks.
The Looming Tower broadens and deepens our knowledge of these signal events by taking us behind the scenes. Here is Sayyid Qutb, founder of the modern Islamist movement, lonely and despairing as he meets Western culture up close in 1940s America; the privileged childhoods of bin Laden and Zawahiri; family life in the al-Qaeda compounds of Sudan and Afghanistan; O'Neill's high-wire act in balancing his all-consuming career with his equally entangling personal life (he was living with three women, each of them unaware of the others' existence); and the nitty-gritty of turf battles among U.S. intelligence agencies.
©2006 Lawrence Wright; (P)2006 Tantor Media
"Comprehensive and compelling." (Kirkus)
"Deeply researched...immaculately crafted." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Important, gripping....One of the best books yet on the history of terrorism." (Publishers Weekly)
"A thoughtful examination of the world that produced the men who brought us 9/11, and of their progeny who bedevil us today....The Looming Tower is a thriller. And it's a tragedy, too." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Riveting... Sobering... Chilling..."
Audio: Excellent. Clear, well-enunciated, easy to understand. Authentic pronunciations of the many Arabic names and places (as far as I know). To my ears the narrator has a North American English accent (Canadian or American, not British).
Content: Riveting... Sobering... Chilling... A thoroughly detailed history of modern Radical Islam and Islamic terrorism from the 1940's through 9/11/2001. Despite the obvious culmination in 9/11 I'd say 90% of the book is spent on the 40's through the 90's. A lot of encounters amongst the terrorists are described in a story and dialogue style, bringing the history alive. Though an audiobook listener doesn't have access to references or index the author must have used interviews and eyewitness accounts for such reconstructions. It certainly makes for an engrossing read. This book was published around Aug. 2006 and though I'd heard about it often I assumed it was "just about 9/11". It is much more than that and I'm glad I finally got around to it. This is a must-read historical primer and I put it right up there with anything by Robert Spencer or books such as The Shia Revival, America Alone, or Kite Runner. I highly recommend this book.
"A complex series of events made clearer"
Americans may wonder why Al-Queda and Osama bin Laden wanted to attack America. One may also wonder how they were able to carry it out. This book makes it all much clearer. Placing the events of September 2001 in a long historical perspective, the work is excellent. The narrator does a wonderful job with the many complex names of the Egyptians, Saudis, and others living in the Middle East. Well worth listening to.
"Fabulous summary and perspective"
Like many Americans, I watched the news, read the papers, listened to the reports... I had the facts, but there were too many and I could not synthesize them into a meaningful understanding.
This book brings it together, drawing together the threads of this story in a clear and useful way. The story paints both many of the characters with both the brush of respect and the brush of critical examination. This fact-based history is also woven together in the multi-threaded style of current fictional adventure stories, making it both informative and attention grabbing simultaneously.
In turns, I was frustrated, angry, disbelieving, and amazed. In the end I was grateful for the broader principles and understanding that came from absorbing this account.
"powerful and informative"
This is a fascinating history of Islamic Fundamentalism. It sets forth clear and balanced explanations of different theories of Islam and how fundamentalists have interpreted those theories to justify modern terrorism. At the same time, the book explains the history (over decades) of the fundamentalist movement, as well as the US government mistakes -- and successes -- in responding to the impending threat. I found the narration to be well-paced: it was slower in places discussing ideas, names, and terms with which most Americans are not familiar, which allowed me to process and remember foreign names and terms without having to backtrack to cover the same ground again. The narration's pace was faster when discussing the work performed by US agents and the government in-fighting that hampered the detection of the 9/11 plot.
"Clearly laid out path to the 9/11 debacle"
This was a perfect book to go through as an audiobook. Lawrence Wright manages to provide a historical perspective on the Jihadi movements, a detailed look at Bin Laden and his closest associates, and at the same time fleshes out the squables between the CIA, FBI, and the Clinton and Bush administrations that provided Bin Laden with an openning to bring down the World trade center and the Pentagon as well as a fourth plane planned for the White House or Capitol. Not only was the text well conceived, it was very well read and easy to listen to. Altogether very worth the time.
"Very interesting historical account"
After 9/11 I read and read and read trying to find a reason for "why" these radical Muslims hate us. This book gives an insightful history of Bin-Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and others involved in the current "jihad" against the West. It gives a history of many countries in the region, most notably Egypt's political struggles and how Saudi Arabia went from sand to wealth and the elder Bin-Laden's role in its development.
If you are looking for answers as to why 9/11 happened, well I don't think any sane person will ever have that answer. If you are looking for a history of how distorted ideologies created such monsters, then you will get that from this book.
Anyone interested in learning more about a region, the evolution of a very distorted ideology, and in my opinion, the destruction of a peaceful religion, you will be satisfied with what you learn.
"a hair short of objective"
Write's account of the history of the radical fundamentalist Islamic movement is thorough, detailed, insightful and very digestible. A great primer for understanding why Americans' belief in the "irresitible lure of democracy and the American way of life" is a dangerous fantasy when trying to deal with what is truly a religious war that has been declared on America.
The only disappointing aspect of Write's account is that he seems to have "taken sides" with FBI sources for his book. He characterizes the failures to do more to prevent 9/11 as largely a question of intelligence community turf protection. The "wall" he flippantly writes off as imaginary was very real to the people in both intelligence and law enforcement who were constantly under threat not to jeopardize prosecutions by "polluting" cases with intelligence information that could not be revealed in court. It was so real that nothing short of the tragegy of losing almost 3000 souls finally led to the legislation necessary to bring it down.
That one flawed lack of objectivity, however, is overridden by the value of insight this book brings to understanding the motivations behind the new reality our world is facing. An excellent book, and a great narrator.
"Riveting, eye-opening"
It took a little bit to get into this one, but once it got going it was absolutely fascinating. To truly understand the world of Islamic terror of our day and it historical roots, this book is indispensible. No agenda, everyone involved is criticized or praised where deserved. Winner of LA Times Book of the Year, Pulitzer Prize...everyone should read.
"Looming Tower - Excellent"
This is a book that all thinking Americans should read, regardless of one's politics. It provides a straighforward explanation of the history of the radical Islamic movement.
One of the best audiobooks I have listened to. May be a little slow at first, but this builds an entire history of the rise of islamic fundamentalism from the 1940s on. In particular, the final chapters track closely the rise of Al Quada and make for fascinating listening. The amount of research/interviews the author must have done is almost incomprehensible, as he brings the reader right into meetings/conversations that occurred in the most isolated countries in the world. A truly phenomenol comprehensive review, that keeps building and getting better throughout.

1.18: Scientific Process
Do you think that the man in this photo is a real scientist? In science fiction, scientists may be portrayed as wild-eyed and zany, randomly mixing chemicals in a lab. But that portrayal couldn't be farther from the truth. Real scientists are disciplined professionals, and scientific investigations are very organized and methodical.
Investigations in Science
Investigations are at the heart of science. They are how scientists add to scientific knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world. Scientific investigations produce evidence that helps answer questions. Even if the evidence cannot provide answers, it may still be useful. It may lead to new questions for investigation. As more knowledge is discovered, science advances.
Steps of a Scientific Investigation
Scientists investigate the world in many ways. In different fields of science, researchers may use different methods and be guided by different theories and questions. However, most scientists follow the general steps outlined in the Figure below. This approach is sometimes called the scientific method. Keep in mind that the scientific method is a general approach and not a strict sequence of steps. For example, scientists may follow the steps in a different order. Or they may skip or repeat some of the steps.
Using the Scientific Method: a Simple Example
A simple example will help you understand how the scientific method works. While Cody (Figure below) eats a bowl of cereal, he reads the ingredients list on the cereal box. He notices that the cereal contains iron. Cody is studying magnets in school and knows that magnets attract objects that contain iron. He wonders whether there is enough iron in a flake of the cereal for it to be attracted by a strong magnet. He thinks that the iron content is probably too low for this to happen, even if he uses a strong magnet.
Cody makes an observation that raises a question. Curiosity about observations is how most scientific investigations begin.
Q: If Cody were doing a scientific investigation, what would be his question and hypothesis?
A: Cody's question would be, "Is there enough iron in a flake of cereal for it to be attracted by a strong magnet?" His hypothesis would be, "The iron content of a flake of cereal is too low for it to be attracted by a strong magnet."
Cody decides to do an experiment to test his hypothesis. He gets a strong magnet from his mom's toolbox and places a dry flake of cereal on the table. Then he slowly moves the magnet closer to the flake. To his surprise, when the magnet gets very close to the flake, the flake moves the rest of the way to the magnet.
Q: Based on this evidence, what should Cody conclude?
A: Cody should conclude that his hypothesis is incorrect. There is enough iron in a flake of cereal for it to be attracted by a strong magnet.
Q: If Cody were a scientist doing an actual scientific investigation, what should he do next?
A: He should report his results to other scientists.
- Investigations are at the heart of science. They produce evidence that helps scientists answer questions and better understand the world.
- Most scientists follow the same general approach to investigation, which is called the scientific method. It includes the following steps: ask a question, do background research, construct a hypothesis, test the hypothesis by doing an experiment, analyze the data and draw a conclusion, and report the results.
Read the procedure for the "Money in a Blender" investigation at the following URL. Then answer the questions below. With your teacher's or parent's approval, try the activity yourself.
- What research question is addressed by the investigation? What hypothesis does the investigation test?
- Describe the evidence you would observe if you followed the procedure in the investigation.
- What would you conclude about the hypothesis from your evidence?
- What is the role of investigation in science?
- List the steps of the scientific method.
- Assume that Cody used a weak magnet and the flake of cereal was not attracted to it. What conclusion might he have drawn then?

text: Is it me or is it kinda rediculous for MR to be releasing a new Vader lightsaber when he didn't even have one in ROTS. Seems like a way to try to drain more money out of us. I know I'll be passing on this one. Personally I think they should focus on making items that fans really want and actually had screen time. But that is just me.

The Shiites (or Shi'ites or Shia) is one of two major branches of Islam. A schism in Islam occurred in A.D. 660, almost 30 years after the death of Muhammad. The Sunnis, the largest group, disagreed with the Shiites over who should take over the caliphate or leadership of the nascent Islamic community. Those supporting the Prophet's son-in-law, Ali, were called the Shi'at Ali or "Party of Ali" from which the name originates. The Shiite branch of Islam split further into three sub-branches: Zaidi, Ismai'ili(Sevener), and Imamiyya(Twelver). Shiites believe in a line of succession branching off from Muhammad's grandchildren, Hasan and Husein, and is relevant to the names of the Shiite branches. Shiites comprise about one tenth of all Muslims and are the majority faith in Iran and Iraq.
Following the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and the establishment of the theocracy of Ayatollah Khomeini, Iranian Twelver Shiite Islam became associated with Islamic fundamentalism and violent hostility to the West both politically and culturally. However it must be remembered that al Qaeda and the Taliban are entirely Sunni movements. Much of the inspiration for groups like Al-Qaeda comes from the fiercely fundamentalist Wahhabi sect, predominant in Saudi Arabia, and as hostile to Shiite Islam as it is to Christianity and Judaism. Wahhabi ideology is at violent odds with Shiite doctrine, and is subsequently cited as justification for acts of extremism against Shiites.

How about a Murata OKI-78SR-5/1.5-W36-C? The ebay one linked to looks like a clone of the Murata. The Murata is only $5, max Vin is 36V though so you could drop your 40V with a resistor between your bridge and the power supply. Dropping voltage from an unregulated transformer shouldn't be dramatic, it won't take much resistance (and thus wattage) to get a lot of voltage drop.
Think about that for a moment.
QuoteThink about that for a moment. Ok you're right, I wasn't thinking. So, how about a low-watt, high-ohm resistor between + and - of the bridge output?

By now you've probably seen the packaging for Hasbro's Ep III action figures, but if not, here's a look:
There seems to be a lot of collectors who feel that Hasbro is out to get them with their upcoming Episode III: Revenge of the Sith packaging, the card is possibly the most die-cut ever (not counting the late '90s EU figure cards with their pop-up mini-scenes inside), the graphics are a sharp departure from any previous Star Wars packaging, and the bubble is another full-card, and now, *gasp* rounded. Others see this merely as a new step in the ever-changing chronicle of Star Wars collecting.
So what's your take on the Hasbro Ep 3 packaging, is it the bee's knees or the end of civilization as we know it? Vote now and speak your mind.
