....without being a pain....
I am writing this post at the request of Wendy from Celiacs in the House, who was wondering how best to deal with her special requests in restaurants - she wanted to be sure her needs were met without being a pain (we Midwesterners are so nice).
No problem, I said! We will all be better off with our needs met! So lets talk about a few ways to make everyone happier when dealing with special requests.
First off, assuming your server has been working in the industry at least 5 months, chances are they've heard everything. And I do mean everything. I've waited on guests who insist nothing on their plate touches the other items, grown men who never ate anything other than plain buttered noodles, guests with cancer who had their dinner pureed in the robotcoup and served in a pint glass with a straw, and one lady who required one dish of balsamic vinegar, and one dish of freshly grated Parmesan: every single bite she ate would be dipped first into the vinegar, and then into the cheese, no matter what it was. It was immaterial what Chef was offering that evening, she would be eating fish with vegetables (never, ever a piece of bread or a potato!) dipped into Balsamic and cheese. (She was skinny, so clearly this diet plan works.)
- When possible, make your situation known when making your reservation. This is especially easy with online systems such as Open Table or other online reservation systems. If you are making a reservation over the phone, simply let the person in your party has a special need (and then let them know what it is). Knowing in advance is always better, because the restaurant can prepare more fully and offer something great - especially if the request is more challenging, such as a vegan request.
Once you are in the restaurant, here are some guidelines....
- State your needs in plain English or, if you have a complicated situation, carry a business card with you stating your needs. Before Celiac disease was as widely-known as it is today, I waited on a woman who carried a small laminated card with her outlining her needs. It was especially helpful because many people mistakenly believe rice has gluten, and her card outlined what she could have. Say "I am a vegan," "I have Celiac," "I have a deathly nut allergy." I find it's easier to begin with this broad statement, and then explain as necessary. Most (good) servers are familiar with all sorts of disorders and special requests. If the server stares blankly at you, feel free to expand.
- Separate true allergies from dislikes or intolorences. This is a huge irritation in the restaurant business, because there are relatively few true allergies, and those are incredibly serious: when someone says "I have a peanut allergy," we listen up, because most people are aware that a peanut allergy with an anaphylactic reaction could mean a guest dying in your restaurant, and no one wants that to happen (and while I've been, in a completely typical macabre way, completely fascinated by the idea of giving someone an emergency tracheotomy my entire life, I don't really want to test my skills in real life).
It always amazes me how many people are allergic to garlic and onions, considering few people truly are. Saying you are allergic to these things puts the restaurant in a bit of a pickle, because if you are dining in a restaurant where everything or nearly everything is made from scratch, chances are there are either garlic or onions in pretty much everything. This is because onions and garlic are delicious, and we put them in nearly every stock and sauce. I realize many people have GI or body aroma issues eating these things, but typically the garlic and onions used in stocks and sauces are barely detectable (in isolate); instead, they contribute to the greater deliciousness of the dish, and have been cooked pretty much to within an inch of their lives, and strained from the stock. It is perfectly acceptable to say "please do not add any garlic or onions to my food," just in case these things are added when cooking vegetables or tossed into salad.
- Have realistic expectations. If you have Celiac disease and are eating in a traditional American style Italian restaurant where everything comes on pasta, be aware that it will be more difficult to dine than if you are eating in a restaurant where meat and potatoes are the focus. By the same token, if you are a vegan dining in a restaurant known for their usage of cream and pork, be aware they might not create the most elaborate vegan dish you've ever tried.
The items on the menu are there because the chef thinks those are what he does best; a case could be made that any chef worth his salt should be able to create something amazing and vegan, but the kitchen is an extremely busy and stressful place, and there isn't always time to come up with amazing new dishes on the fly. By the same token, chefs would be wise to keep a few special dishes up their sleeves so they don't have to worry over special requests.
- Let the restaurant know what you like, especially if you are going to require a dish completely different from anything on the menu. It's frustrating when the chef creates a special dish for someone, and they let you know after receiving it they don't like peppers, mushrooms, or squash. If all you want is a pound of steamed green beans with no seasoning, just let your server know.
- Your special request will be easiest to fulfill during less busy nights. Everyone in Columbus wants to eat at 7pm on Saturday, which makes 7:45-8:15pm Saturdays about the craziest half hour of the week. It's difficult to explain to those who have never worked in the restaurant business, but the tiniest mistake or mis-order can cause the entire house of cards to come crashing down. The busy restaurant is like a tight-rope walker trying to juggle flaming swords and swans at the same time - when it works, it's a beautiful thing; but the slightest nudge and it turns ugly fast. Obviously, you can't always control when you will be dining out, but you are certain to have a better experience on a Wednesday than a Saturday during peak.
- Show that you are brave: I waited on a woman the other day, and her statement when I greeted her was one of the best ways to get a good experience and caught me off guard. She said "what dishes on the menu could I have that would be the least altered with my [special needs]?" I thought this was such a great way to approach the situation because she was pretty much willing to try anything, and was more interested in maintaining the integrity of the chef's dish rather than making up her own.
- As a general rule, higher-end, made from scratch restaurants and mass-market chains are the safest bets. This is because higher end restaurants don't take as many shortcuts when making their food (thickening non-gravy sauces with flour is a big one here), and mass market chains don't want to be sued and their food is made in one commissary kitchen and then shipped out to the stores.
- Don't become frustrated if you are eating in a restaurant with a language barrier. If you can't communicate effectively with a server, and you find that frustrating, simply don't go. I remember reading someone who was going on and on about how horrible a local Mexican restaurant was (one of my favorites), because the servers couldn't speak English (to his satisfaction). They kept bringing him lemons when he asked for limes! How stupid could they be, he ranted! Well, to most Mexicans, a limon is a lime, and a lima is a lemon. So you can see how it could become a "who's on first" situation. In the restaurant, we frequently say "green limon" or "yellow limon" to distinguish the difference. If you love ethic foods, you might consider getting a card which is translated into the language of the restaurant where you are going, just so that things can be as clear as possible.
- Lastly, when you do get something surprisingly delicious within your needs, it's always nice to let your server, manager, and/or chef know! Becoming a regular in a restaurant is also a good thing, because as the staff gets to know you and your likes and needs, they can create special things just for you.
- Money talks. If your server goes out of their way to make you happy, reward them. If your server works with the chef to ensure you will have a great experience and you tip 15%, they have no incentive to go out of their way the next time. The verbal tip is always nice and appreciated, unfortunately your server's mortgage company does not accept compliments as payment.
So there you have it! Some thoughts for making everyone happy when you are dining with special needs! What other questions can I answer?

Today, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released their latest Housing Market Index (HMI)showing that assesments of housing activity declined slightly in February with the composite HMI index falling to 46 while the "buyer traffic" index fell more notably to 32.
It's important to note that February showed a flattening of sorts to future expectations, a development that is worth noting as the new home market moves through it's most active months at the start of the year (see Bob Tolls explanation for January - early spring being the new home markets most active period annually).
While all indicators have made truly spectacular improvements this year, it's important to note that conditions still remain fairly distressed by historic standards.
Although, looking at the data, it is fairly clear that the last few months of results indicate a major change in builder sentiment likely coming as a result of improvements in confidence given the notable rise in buyer traffic, reduced inventory and a more balanced monthly supply.

Wide variety of choices. Udi's rolls. Delicious. A bit pricey.
|Celiac friendly
Great sub on Udi's sub bread. Prepared in a separate area with care.
|Not celiac friendly
19350 C Nordhoff St., Northridge, CA 91324
Everything is made in the same place. Do not eat here
|Celiac friendly
14828 Hall Rd., Sterling Heights, MI 48313
Great experience. My meats were cut and sandwich was assembled in the back, away from the main prep area. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the lettuce and tomato came from main prep area, though he did "dig deep" to get veggies near the bottom, so less chance of contamination. Overall, great sandwich, and I did not get glutened.
464 Kinderkamack Rd Unit 812, Emerson, NJ 07630
So delicious and felt totally safe! Did everything in the back on a separate slicer with clean gloves. Wouldn't even hand the sandwich off to someone else when he wasn't sure they had changed their gloves
628 21st Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960
Love this Jersey Mike's! They tend to be very busy so I prefer to order with their app in advance for a quick pickup. Good attention to cross contamination.
|Celiac friendly
1608 Town Center Drive, Pflugerville, TX 78660
A great place for gluten free. I mimic the other positive reviews. They made my sandwich separate in back. Toppings are put on in the same area as regular sandwiches tho but I've never had an issue.
|Celiac friendly
4131 Martin Way East, Olympia, WA 98516
They wipe everything down to make sure it's safe.
|Celiac friendly
6518 Goodman Rd., Olive Branch, MS 38654
Very good buns and gluten-free!!
|Celiac friendly
3801 US Hwy 98 North, Lakeland, FL 33809
I just had my first sub in 11 1/2 years and it was great! They understood cross contamination and didn't get sick!
|Celiac friendly
105 Drury Dr., La Plata, MD 20646
Staff is very knowledgeable regarding cross contact.
|Not celiac friendly
3940 Broad St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
This specific restaurant was TERRIBLE in making sure not to CC my sub. They did not change their gloves, did not clean the the counters, did not clean their machines for my meal. It was a hot mess trying to make sure things were done correctly. At one point, I actually watched them put their GF bread on the counter. Would not recommend this specific store but I do still love my store back in Fresno.
2670 S. Rochester Road, Rochester Hills, MI 48307
I have been disappointed by sub places that promise gluten free buns, but don't deliver. Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised by Jersey Mike's. The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free preparation. Instructions were posted in the prep area and were followed. The staff was clearly well trained. And they produced a good sub. We will be back
6545 Mission Gorge Road, San Diego, CA 92120
While they have GR bread, I would not recommend this location to someone with Celiac. Went twice and both times staff are not well informed about safety procedures and don't really understand cross-contamination issues. They were happy to work with me but I had to explain a lot of things. They had to redo one half of the sandwich as they put avocado from the main container using same utensils. I've been to another location where they properly assemble the entire sandwich in the back.
|Celiac friendly
3325 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Manager and girlfriend are gluten free so they're very aware
1831 Ximeno Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90815
Server wasn't trained, I watched her set my bun on the counter and had to ask for another. Use the same toppings up front for normal sandwiches.
|Celiac friendly
530A N Sepulveda Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245
I eat subs here at least once a month and have not been sick. I have eaten here for the last year and love the subs! Friendly staff and a great GF option!
|Celiac friendly
7410 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Everyone is so nice and takes GF requests seriously! They have two sizes for GF subs, just like non-GF items! The Reuben is amazing (the dressing is GF). Favorite go-to for an easy lunch or dinner!
|Celiac friendly
7970 Fredericksburg Road, San Antonio, TX 78229
Gluten free buns and tubs are options here.
|Celiac friendly
700 E. Campbell Rd., Richardson, TX 75081
Have eaten here a handful of times and never gotten a reaction. They use a separate prep area and follow cross-contamination procedures.
|Celiac friendly
1531 W Main Street, Bozeman, MT 59715
They have the option of GF bread and all of the subs are already GF except the chicken parm & one other sub. You can also get any sub made into a lettuce wrap if you don't like their gluten-free bread.
3901 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501
They have Udi's gluten free sub buns! They also prepare the food in a separate area to avoid cross contamination. When I was checking out, I saw on the wall that they had an entire gluten free preparation chart showing what they can and can't do. Super informed staff! I loved my sub and the best part was I didn't get sick!
|Celiac friendly
1829 S Centre City Pkwy, Escondido, CA 92025
The staff was very understanding when I told them I had celiac. They changed their gloves and wiped everything down including the meat slicer and changing out the lettuce and using a different mayonnaise. They kept my bread on paper to make sure it didn't get cross contaminated and made sure one person prepared my whole sandwich. They did this all during a rush and made sure my sandwich was safe for me to eat. As a person newly diagnosed with celiac I really appreciated coming here and them being so patient and understanding.
5594 Sunset Blvd., Lexington, SC 29072
I have ordered from this location several times and had no issues. Yummy
|Celiac friendly
481 Bypass 72 Northwest, Greenwood, SC 29649
The staff was very knowledgeable, and took special care of my sub. They even changed gloves to hand me a cup , I ate at 1:00 pm today and haven't been sick 👍🏻
12003 N. Pecos Street, Westminster, CO 80234
Staff is knowledgeable and they use a separate cutting board and prep area to make sandwiches!
|Not celiac friendly
11 Bear Creek Blvd., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
They mixed up our order and gave our 2 celiacs regular bread. One bite and my daughter knew but it was too late. She was very sick within hours. Emailed the store telling them what happened and suggesting they somehow mark the gf sandwiches. They never bothered to answer.
1924 Adams Street, Mankato, MN 56001
I have been here once when I was in town for a work thing and needed a quick lunch nearby. Staff has procedure to wipe down meat slicer, use separate work area for a GF order, bread is opened from a sealed package, and only one person works on your order. I felt safe eating it and didn't react afterwards. The wipe down of the meat slicer didn't seem very thorough though and I'm not sure if they use some sort of food safe disinfectant or just a wet rag, but I'm not sure how clean you can really get shared equipment anyhow. I might eat here again, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice in Mankato.
|Celiac friendly
1340 N. Hamilton Rd., Gahanna, OH 43230
Very knowledgeable and very good! Cleaned everything! The buns come in airtight packaging and I felt safe eating there!
10592 N. Oracle Road, Oro Valley, AZ 85737
The food prep people were very careful to clean the prep area before making my sandwich. The food was good. The staff was knowledgeable. Edit: a visit today showed less than careful prep,especially with the grill. I think if you insist they be careful and watch everything the do, you might be OK. I won't return. I'm quite disappointed.
9331 Mission Gorge Road, Santee, CA 92071
They have the most delicious sandwiches and a friendly staff, if only they had glazed donuts.
|Celiac friendly
620 Marketplace Blvd, Hamilton Township, NJ 08691
Everything is great except for the price. It's a regular sub sandwich. No reason for it to be so expensive.
|Celiac friendly
177 Washington Valley Rd., Warren, NJ 07059
It's gluten free goodness but overpriced and the sandwiches are kinda small even the regular sandwiches, we swallowed them sandwiches!

Staff was very helpful assisting with gluten free menu options. The gluten free sub roll tasted very good and had good texture, had the #5 Super Sub. They were very attentive to use separate mayonnaise dispenser instead of the mayo spread on the line to avoid cross contamination. Very friendly staff.

Love this place. Manager is very careful and the owner's wife is celiac. So he GETS it. I order here once a week and have never been sick.

I eat here on nearly a weekly basis. When you order a GF sub they take the time to wipe down the sliver and counter, and they use separate condiments for your sub. I've found them to be very friendly and accommodating, and the food is good!

GF subs on Udis rolls. They wash hands, change gloves, clean the grill and prep the GF sandwiches in a separate are. They are very careful to avoid cross contamination so it may take a little longer to get your food than normal, especially if there is also a gluten sandwich in your order but we don't mind. We want them to take all the time they need to make it safe to eat. We have eaten here three times in the last couple of weeks and my daughter has not gotten sick.

I like Jersey Mike's as they can accommodate gf. While this location tried, and they did a good job, the staff wasn't that friendly. That's the only reason I gave it one star. They did try to thoroughly wipe the sliced down but there were still crumbs on it.
214 N Weber Rd, Bolingbrook, IL 60440
I missed sandwiches when I went gluten free and their gf subs are fantastic!
2200 War Admiral Way, Lexington, KY 40509
Staff was really nice about GF request, but not everyone was trained on the allergy procedure. I watched them cut the GF bun for a previous order, then place the other half on the counter (that was full of regular crumbs and had not been wiped(, then put it back in the bag for the next person. I requested a bun from an unopened bag and did not get sick. Be alert and ready to educate.

Thanks to Jersey Mike's for making Gluten Free options available. Very good GF sub! Yes

Great experience at Jersey Mike's. Not only can you have a sub in a tub but they also have the gluten free bread. The lady that took my order for my gluten free sub stopped, changed gloves, then told the person behind me that she would complete my whole sub first. I felt like that was above and beyond!

I love being able to finally eat at a sub shop! Udi's Hoagie Buns are amazing!

They do a great job of changing gloves and cleaning up before making my Udi Roll Sub

Staff is knowledgeable and have posted specific procedures for staff to follow when someone is ordering gluten free. (Glove change, prepping surface, etc). Was in Heaven when I finally was able to indulge in a Philly cheesesteak again with their gluten free bread
2701 Cross Timbers Road, Flower Mound, TX 75028
They do a good job of washing machines and preparing gf subs separately. Son is celiac and we have eaten here a dozen times with no issues.

Knowledgeable staff, wife variety on the gf menu. Staff will ask if gluten free is due to preference or allergy. They clean the prep area, meat slicer, etc. for your order. Beware, mayo comes from a communal prep tub. I've eaten here twice without getting sick.
6176 Falls of Neuse Road, Raleigh, NC 27609
Jersey Mikes now offers gluten free bread. Whenever I have eaten at any location, the staff respond very seriously when I tell them I need the gluten free bread. They immediately change gloves, wipe down the slicing machine and all counters. They put my sandwich on its own paper, which they use to move it from station to station. A separate knife is used, and every worker changes gloves if they are working on my sandwich. I never have to request this. The workers do this automatically and without issue. I am not celiac but do have gluten/dairy sensitivities. I do not eat any gluten whatsoever.

Horrible experience. When I ordered a gf sub, the employee was extremely rude. He made rude comments about me to other employees, and acted as though it was the end of the world because he had to change gloves. He didn't even clean the machine all the way as other locations do. In my opinion, if you are going to offer gluten free subs (and charge extra), you should make customers feel as though they are less of a person for their selection of a gf sub.

Amazing!! I haven't been able to eat a sub sandwich in years!!!

Jake Owen Looks to Tim McGraw to Learn How to Be a Dad
We already know Jake Owen is taking notes for his opening set by watching Tim McGraw nightly on their Brothers of the Sun Tour, but it looks as though the father-to-be is now looking to McGraw as polished paternal figure, following the announcement he and wife Lacey Buchanan are expecting their first child this fall.
"Even doing what we do, guys out here show that it's possible to be a good dad," Owen tells CMT, speaking of watching his fellow road warriors. "Tim was just outside working out, and he has his daughters right there with him. I just have to maintain my focus. I don't want people thinking this will deter my perseverance."
The newlywed adds, "That's why I love Lacey — she loves me and believes in me more than any person I've ever met in my life. Thank God for her, because she's gonna be an absolutely amazing mother. She's the most caring human being I've ever met in my life."
Owen admits that he is a "really impatient person," which is something he got from his father. "I like to have things my way, at the time that my mind tells me I want them," he says. "That's sometimes a big fault of mine. Lacey's taught me to be a lot more patient."
Due in November, baby girl Owen has a few prospective names lined up, but the proud daddy isn't making the list public. "No names," Owen says, before quickly changing his tune. "Well, we have names we like, but we're gonna hold them to ourselves."
Owen and Buchanan found out about their pregnancy shortly before getting married on May 7 in an intimate sunrise ceremony. The happy couple disclosed the gender of their bundle of joy following their first ultrasound on July 2.
"I was scared at first, because I don't know anything about girls," says Owen. "I was like, 'Let's find out what the baby is.' I wasn't into the surprise of it. I was already surprised when I found out she was pregnant."
Until the arrival of his daughter, Owen will no doubt stay busy this year in his music career. The singer continues to travel the country on McGraw and Kenny Chesney's Brothers of the Sun Tour, with dates scheduled through the end of August. Owen will remain on the road promoting his latest album, 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night,' through October.

Why kickboxing training is good for you!
As an activity that requires repeated quick bursts of movement, kickboxing promotes heart health by providing a cardiovascular workout. The kicks and punches that you learn during the 9Round workout make your body pump blood faster to the heart, especially when done in exercise stretches that last 30 minutes or longer. Over time, this increased heart rate results in a stronger, more efficient heart. By using resistance training as well as the traditional kickboxing punches and kicks, you maximize your time as well as your effort!
As with most total-body workouts, kickboxing requires increased physical activity that burns fat, tones and builds muscle and can lead to weight loss. Depending upon what type of kickboxing you perform, you could burn as many calories per hour with this sport as you would walking or jogging, according to a study performed by the American Council on Exercise. Conducted by a team of University of Mississippi researchers who were led by Len Kravitz, Ph.D., the July 1999 ACE study reveals that kickboxing participants typically burn 350 to 450 calories per hour. Results from the study indicate that you can expect to burn the most calories while blending a combination of upper- and lower-body kickboxing moves. Because of the non-stop movement and mix of resistance training, 9Round clients can achieve the same calorie burn in half the time.
Just as a ballerina who practices dance moves every day increases her agility, so also can you increase your body's flexibility and coordination with kickboxing. Most people lose flexibility and coordination as a natural part of the aging process, as well as from inactivity, but kickboxing can help to combat this loss of agility. Performing basic kickboxing moves requires you to twist your body and deliver multi-level, elevated kicks, which provides key flexibility training for your body. As you get better at executing these moves, your body becomes more flexible. Increased flexibility comes with many benefits, including improved posture, decreased muscle tension and less chance of injuries, according to the American Council on Exercise.
Regularly participating in a kickboxing regimen may be able to kick stress and boost your self-esteem. The controlled punching and kicking require a level of physical exertion and focus that allow you to let go of other stresses in your life. Getting better at executing difficult kickboxing moves, or learning to use one of the bags (speed bag or double end) better, inevitably improves self-confidence, particularly if you're able to easily perform moves that you could never do before. Kickboxing can also promote peace of mind, especially for women who may find themselves in a situation in which they'll need to practice self-defense techniques.

Rascal Flatts Given Humanitarian Award at 2012 Country Radio Seminar
As the annual Country Radio Seminar kicked off this morning in Nashville, Rascal Flatts were honored for their charitable efforts. The country trio received the 2012 Humanitarian Award during Wednesday's opening session.
Country Music is Love reports that Jay DeMarcus, Joe Don Rooney and Gary LeVox were on hand to accept the glass statuettes. "It's a little uncomfortable to be recognized for something we feel we should be doing," DeMarcus said. "We have been so blessed with an amazing career, to pay the blessings forward seemed the most natural thing to do."
According to a press release at the group's website, Rascal Flatts donated $3 million to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt's Pediatric Surgery Center (named the Rascal Flatts Surgery Center) in 2010. They serve as celebrity spokespersons for numerous charitable organizations and have been members of the American Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet for seven years.
In 2012, the trio will begin raising money for the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt's neonatal center. "'Cause, you know, it's the only thing, medically, that they just have no clue on why children are born premature," LeVox said in January. "So we're going to do what we can to help try to find out and see if we can't just be a small part of trying to change history a little bit."
"The board is very pleased to honor Rascal Flatts with the CRS Artist Humanitarian Award," CRS Executive Director Bill Mayne said. "They join a long, distinguished list of celebrities who have received this prestigious award since it was instated in 1990."
On April 3, Rascal Flatts will release their eighth studio album. 'Changed' will feature their current single, 'Banjo.'

Just finished reading the first volume of the novel.
I like this one. Saito is awesome. If anything, the premise of the story is definitely one of the more unique ones I have ever seen. To be summoned into a fantasy world and becoming someone's familiar... My decision to give up or continue with something like a light novel is usually made right in the beginning, if it doesn't interest me right off the bat, then it's very hard for me to keep on reading. In that respect, "Zero no Tsukaima" had a nice start to it: no long-winded stage setting, no personal world views, only the events that are happening at the moment. In a way, it was very easy for me to read.
The tsukkomi had a familiar taste to it, then I realized that Yamaguchi Noboru is the scenario writer of the classic eroge (and later, anime) "Green Green". Yes, *that* Green Green. All those perverted comedy materials suddenly begin to make sense now.
Hmm, before I go further, I've been wondering about all the names that appear in this novel. There are some people with really silly long names here, it's likely that we'll see a dozen different versions flying around when the fansubs come out.
So for the heck of it, here are my interpretations of some of the main names/terms that appeared in the novel (vol.1, at least):
Spoiler for character names/terms:
Anyway, to comment on vol.1 in general, I would say it's interesting. Thinking back now, I supposed it would've been nice to see a little bit more action in those 250+ pages. The novel started off on a good pace, and there were some cool developments, but other than that, most of the story was spent on establishing the story settings (I don't mind though, Saito is a fun guy to follow around ^^; ). If anything, this volume was primarily about the development of a trusting relationship between Saito and Ruiz. I guess you can compare this to the first volume of "Shakugan no Shana", although Saito is much less of a wuss compared to Yuuji. ^^;
But the volume ended on a really nice note (it made me go "aww~"), while leaving many possibilities open. At this point, it's really all up to the skills of the author to maintain enough steam and creativity for another volume (since many novels tend to "flop out" after the first volume, "Suzumiya Haruhi" series was like this until vol.4). But I have confidence in Yamaguchi-san. Seeing as how "Zero no Tsukaima" is up to vol.8 now, and how MOON PHASE's cyan-san is a big fan of the series, I think I won't be disappointed.
I'm curious to see how well will the novel's contents transfer to the anime too.
The portrayal of the "Staff of Destruction" is a good example: since the novel only described it as an "oddly shaped staff", we have no idea what it is exactly until Saito began to "prepare" using it. In the anime though, we will be able to see it right away, so I wonder how well that'll work out.
Also, according to the interview with the director, it appears that the anime's basic plot will cover up to volume 3 of the novel. However, there will be episodes that go beyond that as well.
I ordered the rest of the novel volumes, hopefully I'll be able to catch up by the time the anime airs. ^^

And the three of them got animated
The publisher mentioned that these three are very popular under its label (MF Bunko J), which means these three are popular compared to the other light novels that are published under the same label. it wasn't mentioned how popular these light novels are compared to other light novels published under other labels.
I think I have mentioned this before ^^;;

yay. finally ZnT's own section here in AS!
I'm on the process of reading the summaries from Sushi-Y, even though I said I will not read novel spoilers. but what the hey! (btw I havent properly thanked Sushi-Y for doing those summaries. it was such a nice read, as if the contents were really excerpts from the book). anyway, the story seems amazing and quite exciting. Saito is a breath of fresh air among harem leads I've encountered.
I got the impression that he's a nice guy but he'd talk sh!t if he's trampled upon. yeah, he's quite weak when it comes to women --- or rather, he's quite strong in resisting those other girls.
I just have a question regarding Saito's feelings...

If only anime was more exposed to our society... anime novels like this would be so welcomed... instead we get a crap load of inuyasha? fun.
Anyway the novel seems like a bit much eh? unless a major company decided to bring it to us americans, looks like we're screwed

Ah, Thank you wrex, that helps me alot. 感謝するぞ。
Im not a big fan of Marimite, Maburaho, or Ginban, so I can probably safely rule those out of consideration no matter how popular or good they are.
Suzumiya was great as an anime, but Im not so sure I'd like the book series.
"Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu" I have not heard of. This is going straight on my research list.
"Arianrod Replay Rurge" was a worrysome title, can I like a series with the word "replay" in its title? I have no idea what its about. Same goes for "Shin Fortune Quest", Im finding it heard to look into a series with a name like that unless someone recommends it. (Sushi-san, help me out here)
"Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo " sounds like Kagekara mamoru. I loved the anime series for its cuteness, but I know I wont be able to stand the book for two reasons: Mamo-kun is not someone i can identify with like a can with Saito. (at least the anime gives me the impression that he panics in romantic situations)
That of course leaves "Shakugan no shana". Im vacillating on that series, not knowing whether or not I should invest my time in starting it up... The storyline from the anime series didnt really capture my imagination so I have been avoiding it.
As a side note, I have a light novel called "とある魔術の禁書目録 " sitting on my bookshelf. I bought it sight-unseen based on popularity. (yeah, stupid of me perhaps). After I finish volum 8 of Zero, I'll give it a read, and report my thoughts if anyone cares to hear it
In any case, I know I'm going to need more raito noberu, because this stuff is addicting.

Ah, I found a review of 乃木坂春香の秘密 here:
Hrm, it does seem to hit alot of my stereotype detectors, not even counting the characters names.
But some bits of the review seem encouraging:
The worste that could happen is I dont go for volume 2.

tl;dr: comments are a crutch. replace them with code. it's easier than you think.
I delete comments when I come across them. Comments are a crutch, to be used sparingly and only after all other options have been exhuasted. Comments are used for numerous purposes, so I'm going to enumerate the worst offenders:
This comment is worse than worthless. It adds no information because it simply restates the next line. The fact that it's taking up space makes it negative value, but by far the worst part is what happens over time: the code will change from refactoring and updates, but the comment will grow stale and eventually lie outright. A really common sequence is that 5 becomes a constant, and then that constant is changed but the comment isn't updated. So you end up with:
This, fundamentally, is the reason why I hate comments. What started with nothing but good intentions became an outright lie, and will eventually cause harm. Someone will read the comment, make the wrong assumptions and add bugs to the code. What should be done instead? A unit test. A simple unit test would not only provide significantly more value, but it will also evolve with the system:
Now what was a comment is a test case, and the results can be relied on over time. If the code changes for whatever reason, the test will fail, causing it to be updated.
Tests are living comments.
Another extremely common case is the "this shouldn't happen" comment:
It seems so obvious to me that you should always translate that comment into this code:
This code is dramatically more readable. Not because I'm claiming I can visually parse Python faster than I can parse human language, but because when I parse "assert amount >= 0" I can be certain of that condition. When I parse "Amount should never be less than 0" what I actually read is "I'm really hopeful that amount is never less than 0, but it could probably happen under certain conditions". Now I have to think through two cases of the code, amount >= 0 and amount < 0.
These simple examples are just the start. The same principles scale up to complex code with giant amounts of comments. Almost universally when I see large blocks of comments, I find the tests lacking. The tests aren't covering important functionality and they're unreadable. Ater adding significant amounts of tests, renaming test cases to be human readable and rearranging the test file to be read in-order then the comments become unnecessary. As a corollary, if you and your team aren't generally reading tests as source documentation, start doing that today.
I have seen heavily-commented code work well, but I find it only works in a few narrow contexts. The lone-programmer scenario, like Knuth's literate programming is one. Another is code bases with a few people who spend a significant amount of time reading and reviewing every commit. In both cases, I think it works but the time spent maintaining the comments would be much more effectively spent maintaining awesome automated tests.
Comments are a crutch. Unfortunately, sometimes languages break your leg. You need the crutch. The more you optimize your code away from readability and towards performance, the more you'll end up needing comments. Additionally, you'll need to pay that much more attention to the accuracy of your comments every time you change the code. A good example of this is python's garbage collection module. It's complicated and performance-critical C code, and benefits from long-form high level comments at the top of most functions. The answer is to not write C code (or other low-level-over-readability languages) unless you absolutely have to.
Finally, when I see a comment I see it as a challenge: can I make code that is as readable as the comment and dissolves the need for the comment's text? In the cases above the assertions and automated tests needed were straightforward and obvious. In real code it'll be much more complex and nasty. When I succeed at removing a comment, I've made a significant improvement to the codebase.

I am going to be very rich, very soon. Money is coming in from the Ivory Coast. Apparently, I'm related to a prince over there, and he needs me to help him park a boatload of cash in America. My cut is $4 million. I would have to wire him a $5,000 handling fee to get the money, but $5,000 for $4 million? Who wouldn't take that action?
I flunked geometry in 10th grade. You're not going to run into me at a Mensa meeting. Still, I have enough sense and skepticism never to fall for a scam like that.
Louis A. Gottschalk was someone you might have seen at a Mensa meeting. Gottschalk, who died in 2008, was a renowned neuroscientist and professor at the University of California at Irvine. Late in life, according to news reports, he lost millions in your basic Nigerian Internet scam.
Behavioral economists would surely attribute Gottschalk's lapse to what they call the "positivity delusion."
"We're far more inclined to embrace positive information about our own investments than negative information. We often turn that off," says Tali Sharot, author of "The Optimism Bias: A Tour of Our Irrationally Positive Brain."
What if the "power of positive thinking" is simply a numbing drumbeat that reinforces the positivity delusion, leading us to make blockheaded business and investment decisions?
"You have to at least entertain the possibility that the rustling in the grass could turn out to be a lion and eat you up," says Barbara Ehrenreich, author of "Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Is Undermining America."
She blames much of the subprime mortgage mess and resulting financial meltdown in 2008 on this "delusionary" positive thinking. For instance, she recounts how Michael Gelband, the onetime head of the real estate division at Lehman Bros., saw a real estate bubble as early as 2006 and warned CEO Richard Fuld that the company should rethink its business model. This moment of realism and candor got Gelband fired.
"Brokers and buyers were all whipped up, any realistic thoughts were deemed negative and not worthy, so they fired people like him," Ehrenreich says.
Lehman filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008. Its collapse helped spark a financial crisis that spread across the globe.
The positivity delusion isn't restricted to institutional corporate types. It infects individual traders as well. I found out the hard way.
"Averaging down" on a stock can be one of the more delusional methods of investing. It means buying a stock when its price dips with the hope that it will rise back to its highest point.
During the Internet stock craze in the late '90s, I bought about 8,000 shares of PSInet, a local Internet service provider, for about $6 a share. By March 2000, it had run up to more than $100 a share (split-adjusted). I lived high, borrowed against it, got a Mercedes. Then the share price started dropping and my positivity delusion kicked in full throttle. I averaged down when it dropped to $40, then $22, then again at $6. I stopped averaging down about the same time I dumped the Mercedes and dusted off my old Yugo. PSInet went bankrupt; I came close.
"Averaging down makes little sense," says Dan Solin, author of the immodestly titled "The Smartest Retirement Book You'll Ever Read." "It's one of these myths that investors are fed in the financial media. The market is telling you the stock is losing value."
Also, beware of "experts" conveying their biases on an unsuspecting public. Let's say a broker bought a large position in Company X at $20 per share. But it's recently dropped to $15. So he goes on CNBC or some financial show and says it's a real buy at $15. Well, a charitable reading is that he might be brimming with positivity bias and really wants to convey that to the viewer. Or maybe he's pumping the stock, hoping enough viewers will buy to push the price back to $20 so the broker can get out without a loss. Either way, it's probably a good idea to switch to the Weather Channel.
"We look upon too much positive exposure on CNBC or other media as a contrarian indicator," says Nicholas Haffenreffer, a portfolio manager with Torray Investments in Bethesda. "It gets us a bit nervous if people on TV are talking a lot about one of our positions."
A hot market and the positivity delusions it generates make his job a lot tougher.
"Clients often ignore risk in a rising market," he says. "They forget the rules: that cycles happen. Markets do drop, so you have to hedge. People just don't want to hear that."
Despite the downside, isn't the positivity bias a catalyst for our individual genius? Without that hope, that optimism, would Thomas Edison have invented the light bulb? Would Steve Jobs have built a single gadget? Would Ron Popeil have developed spray hair in a can?
"Positivity enhances our ability to create and explore," says Sharot, who also teaches at Harvard. "It's how things get done. We need it. It's part of our evolution."
Optimism is firmly rooted in American culture. The spiritual father of the positive thinking movement was a 19th-century spiritualist, teacher and healer by the name of Phineas Quimby. Quimby rebelled against old-style Calvinism, thinking its austere nature depressed people and caused "disease-inducing guilt." He disregarded conventional medicines and instead relied on positive thought to heal the body and foster a clear mind.
A contemporary equivalent of Quimby might be the ever-cheerful pastor Joel Osteen. He preaches the power of positive thinking and the prosperity gospel — "God wants you to be rich" — from a megachurch in Houston. Osteen commutes there from a $10 million mansion. Positive thinking has served him well.
Despite that, old-style American Calvinism, while not a load of laughs, has a lot to do with American wealth and development.
So what is the remedy? Sharot says that since we are inclined to ignore negative information about our investment and embrace positive information, we have to create some distance from the investment.
"If you are going to make an investment in something, imagine that it's your neighbor making the investment, not yourself, and then when you evaluate it you're likely to be much more objective," she says.
It's generally a good idea to stay away from any situation that you know you could not sustain long-term, says Justin Sydnor, a behavior economist at the University of Wisconsin.
"You have to ask yourself, what are you going to do in the future that's going to change what you did in the past?" he says. "Otherwise you are just falsely believing things will get better in the future."
And get out from under the ether of a smooth sales pitch.
"When a policeman stops you and asks for your license, he checks the license and registration — he won't take your word for it. If you are investing, you have to do the same thing," says Lori Schock, head of investor education at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ehrenreich says the answers are pretty simple. "Work hard. Be realistic. Don't fall for simple pitches that cloud your thinking — don't let all these motivational speakers and self-help coaches block out warning signs that something bad might be on the horizon," she says. "Things aren't going to get better just by wishing for it."

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pat the chickens dry with paper towels. Season the cavities with salt and pepper. In a large bowl combine the onion, lemon, garlic, 1 bunch thyme, bay leaves, and 3 tablespoons olive oil; season it with salt and pepper and mix it well. Stuff each bird with half the mixture. Using 2 (3-foot) pieces of kitchen twine, tie up each chicken: Tuck the wing tips between the wings and the body. Put the mid point of the twine under the chicken, bring the ends up and around the wings, and pull them tight against the body. Bring the ends of the twine up underneath the legs, wrap the string around them, pull the legs together, and tie them tightly. Place the chickens breast side up in a roasting pan, drizzle over some olive oil, and season them with salt and pepper. Toss the mushrooms around the chicken, scatter over the remaining thyme, drizzle over some more olive oil and season everything with salt and pepper. Roast the chickens for 1 to 1 1/2 hours; baste them with the pan juices every 20 minutes. The chicken is done when a thermometer reads 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs should wiggle easily in their sockets.) Remove the chickens from the pan, cover them with foil, and let them stand for 10 minutes to rest. Serve 1 chicken with the roasted mushrooms and pan juices. Refrigerate the other chicken for another meal.

Capturing attractive and informative photos can also be a daunting task for a beginner. The reason is that practice makes a man perfect, hence, unless the person, who wants to make his/her career in this field, don't spend some time in understanding different aspects of the photography how he/she would learn that how he/she can implement the right thing on the right time. The shortest way to avail with some essentials of the photography is to consult a photography tutorial through which one gets the knowledge on different photography subjects.
Here are some tips for beginners:
These tips really help the beginners to know them about those shortcomings that are responsible for ruining their pictures and make them prepare to walk on the improved way.
The first and the foremost thing when you decide to capture the photos is to select a message or subject of the photo. It is true that if you fail to deliver the picture that doesn't convey any message then it will probably a useless collection. Today's people are more advanced and always look for things that can help them to explore their knowledge. Hence, they like the photos that have something to inform.
One needs to know both points- what to exclude and what in include. The importance of exclusion of the things is similar to inclusion of the things. This is one of the most important points covered by every photography tutorial. If one includes unnecessary items in his/her photos then it makes the viewing less interesting, leaving a negative impact on the mind of the viewers.
If one prepares himself/herself to focus at what he/she exactly wants to show his/her viewers then it helps both- the photographer and the viewer. If one finds that the thing he/she wants to capture is too much far away then he/she should use the feature of zoom in through which he/she provides his/her picture with better quality clearing the message what he/she has to give his/her viewers.
Almost all photography tutorials covered these points which can really make a big difference when it comes to improving the photography skills.

About Orphan and Retired Packages
When an Fedora maintainer does not want or is not able to maintain a package any longer, he can orphan or retire the package. When he thinks that the package is still useful for Fedora, he should orphan it. Then other maintainers that are interested in maintaining it, can take ownership of this package. In case the package is no longer useful for Fedora, e.g. because it was renamed, upstream does not exist anymore, then it should be retired.
Orphaning Procedure
1. Announce on fedora-devel-list which package you want to orphan. 1. Log into the Package Database and select the package you want to orphan. 1. Press the "Release Ownership" button for each active branch that you want to orphan.
Claiming Ownership of an Orphaned Package Procedure
1. Announce on fedora-devel-list which packages you would like to become the owner of. 1. Log into the Package Database and select the package you want to become the owner of. 1. Press the "Take Ownership" button for each active branch that you want to maintain. 1. Take over and join (or re-assign to you) open bug reports in bugzilla where package owner's attention is needed. 1. If a package was last updated more than three months ago (running cvs log -r HEAD *.spec can show you this information), you will need to submit a review request and have the package approved by a reviewer as if it were new to Fedora. See the package review process for more information.
Claiming Ownership of a Retired Package
If you really want to maintain a retired package, then the process is much the same as claiming an orphaned package. However, you need to be aware that fixing release critical bugs etc becomes your responsibility. This is to ensure the high quality and standards of packaging remain for Fedora package collection.
Lists of Orphan and Retired Packages
- Currently orphan packages (also contains some retired packages).
- Retired packages (not up to date, is missing packages from the wiki list).
- Retired packages (wiki) (not up to date, may not contain packages that are in the orphan package list, but are actually retired).

- Original 1976 Apple contract is going up for auction on December 13
- Sotheby's New York is auctioning off three original Apple documents
- The founding agreement is signed by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne
- The auction house expects the docs to fetch at least $ 100,000
(CNN) -- Forgive the pun: Want a slice of early Apple history?
Three of the legal documents that detail the founding of the revolutionary computer company are going up for auction soon -- some two months after the death of co-founder Steve Jobs.
Sotheby's, the auction house that's hosting the sale, expects the legal papers to sell for $ 100,000 to $ 150,000.
"The 1976 document, which once belonged to Ronald G. Wayne, one of Apple's founders along with Steven P. Jobs and Stephen G. Wozniak, is the first chapter in the story of one of America's most important companies," Sotheby's says in a press release.
Isaacson gives insight into Jobs' life
Here's a list of what's included in the auction:
-- Apple's original partnership agreement, signed on April 1, 1976, by Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Apple's "forgotten founder," Ron Wayne. According to Walter Isaacson in his new "Steve Jobs" biography, Jobs signed the document in lower-case letters, "Wozniak in careful cursive and Wayne in an illegible squiggle." The trio signed the document in Wayne's apartment and split their stakes in the company unevenly: Jobs and Wozniak both got 45%; Wayne, who came to the confab late as a consultant of sorts, got a 10% share.
-- A dissolution of contract, in which Wayne excused himself from the company for $ 800. He later received an additional $ 1,500 payment. Bad move, right? His stock options today would be worth more than $ 30 billion. But Wayne told CNN in 2010 that he doesn't regret the decision, which he based on the fact that another company he founded had gone poorly. "What can I say? You make a decision based on your understanding of the circumstances and you live with it," he said.
-- And a second founding agreement, in which Jobs, the marketing master, and Wozniak, the coding genius, outlined their plans for the company that would help bring about the personal computer revolution and create the iPod, iPhone and, most recently, the iPad.
The documents originally belonged to Wayne and were given to Sotheby's through a university archives, the auction house's website says. A Sotheby's spokesman said the company could not provide more information but emphasized that Wayne had not sold the documents directly to the auction house.
"The consigner bought the documents in the mid-1990s from a manuscript dealer who had acquired them from Wayne," Bloomberg reports, citing Richard Austin, head of manuscripts at Sotheby's in New York. Austin told that news organization: "It was right before Jobs rejoined Apple. At the time, everyone thought that Apple was pretty much finished."
The auction will be held on December 13 in New York. People can also bid on the documents simultaneously online.
So far, Twitter chatter about the sale is mostly positive, with online pundits joking that they want to add the documents to their holiday shopping lists and pondering what will be the ultimate sticker price of these bits of history.
