Research and general acceptance
Juice fasts, sometimes called juice therapy, are short-term dietary practices—typically one to three days in length—during which the dieter consumes only fruit, vegetable, or other plant juices in order to cleanse the body of heavy metals and other chemical toxins; as a practice related to Ayurvedic medicine; as the first step in the treatment of colitis, arthritis, depression, cancer, HIV infection, or other diseases; for weight reduction; as part of a vegetarian, fruitarian, or vegan lifestyle; or as a part of a general program of eliminating such other unhealthy habits as smoking, drinking large amounts of alcohol or caffei-nated beverages, and overeating. Some people drink large amounts of freshly extracted fruit or vegetable juices as part of their regular diet without necessarily fasting; this practice is called juicing.
Many people who undergo juice fasts combine them with massage therapy or the use of laxatives and enemas to completely relax the body and cleanse the digestive tract.
The second major influence on the popularity of juice fasts in Canada and the United States is natur-opathy, which is an approach to health care that developed out of the natural healing movement in Germany and North America in the late nineteenth century. Naturopaths of the twenty-first century use a variety of techniques in treating patients, including hydrotherapy, spinal manipulation, and physical therapy as well as nutrition and dietary advice. Like Ayurveda, naturopathy emphasizes prevention of disease and recommends noninvasive treatments that rely on the body's own self-healing powers. Juice fasts are an important part of naturopathic dietary therapy.
The third factor that has contributed to interest in juice fasts since the 1970s has been the widespread adoption of vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. People who are concerned in general to minimize or eliminate meat from their diet, whether for environmental, religious, or health-related reasons, are often drawn to juice fasts as periodic intensifications of their normal vegetarian practices. Two subgroups of vegetarians that are particularly likely to practice regular juice fasts are raw-food vegetarians and fruitarians. Raw-food vegetarians, also known as raw foodists, are attracted to juice fasts and juicing because of their belief that cooking destroys most of the nutrients in food. The two best-known proponents of juice therapy in the 1980s, Jay Kordich, "the Juiceman,' and Bernard Jensen, a chiropractor in California who died in 2001, were both raw-food vegetarians.
The following description focuses on juice fasting as it is usually practiced in North America, as the Ayurvedic practice of pancha karma has already been summarized.
Most practitioners of juice fasting recommend restricting it to the warmer months of the year, or traveling to a spa in a warm climate for a wintertime juice fast. Most people undergo juice fasting only once or twice a year; however, some undergo a one-day juice fast every week, or a two-day fast once a month.
Beginning 7 to 10 days before the fast, the person should reduce their intake or eliminate entirely all stimulants (coffee, tea, cocoa, and cola drinks), alcoholic beverages, animal meats, fish, eggs and dairy products, sugar, and wheat. The diet during this preparation period should consist entirely of organic fruits, vegetables, and beans.
Making and consuming the juice
The dieter is instructed to drink between 32 and 64 ounces of juice per day, with 6 glasses of warm filtered water in addition. Some therapists recommend one or more cups of herbal tea each day in addition to the juice and water. The juice should be made in a juicer from fresh organic produce; prepackaged juices should not be used because they are pasteurized to retard spoilage. The heat required for pasteurization destroys some of the vitamins and enzymes in the fruit. If organic fruits and vegetables are unavailable, ordinary supermarket produce may be used, provided it is peeled or washed in a special produce cleaner (available at health food stores) to remove pesticide residue. A combination of fruits and vegetables is recommended rather than fruit or vegetable juice alone. The juice should be consumed within half an hour of processing in the juicer because the natural enzymes in the fruits or vegetables begin to break down the other nutrients in the juice after that time. It should not be refrigerated.
There are a number of recipe books for combining fruit and vegetable juices to make the fast as tasty as possible. Fruits and vegetables that are commonly recommended in these books for juicing include:
- Greens: parsley, beet greens, kale, chard, celery, spinach, dandelion greens
- Cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts
- Root vegetables: carrots, beets, sweet potatoes
- Fruits: grapes, apples, watermelon, pineapple, cranberries, strawberries, peaches, some citrus fruits
- Herbs: fennel, yucca, spearmint, peppermint, basil, ginger, garlic
- Wheatgrass and bean sprouts
- Aloe vera gel: sometimes taken orally as part of a juice fast for treatment of arthritis
Bowel care
An important part of juice fasting is the use of laxatives or enemas to cleanse the lower digestive tract because the juice will not supply enough fiber to keep the bowels moving. Since many practitioners believe that juice fasts are necessary to detoxify the body, the removal of wastes is considered essential to prevent the toxins in the digestive tract from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Some juice therapists recommend mixtures of slippery elm or other herbs to cleanse the
colon; others prefer saltwater laxatives, enemas, or colonics for cleansing the bowel. A colonic is a procedure in which a large amount of water, sometimes as much as 20 gallons, is infused into the colon through the rectum a few pints at a time. It differs from an enema in that much more fluid is used, and a colonic is infused into the colon, whereas an enema infuses water or a cleansing solution into the rectum only. The reader should note, however, that mainstream physicians do not recommend colonics, on the grounds that they are unnecessary, based on a nineteenth-century misunderstanding of the process of digestion, and very often uncomfortable for the patient. In some cases they pose serious risks to health.
Breaking the fast
People should not return to solid foods immediately at the end of a juice fast because the intes-tines need time to readjust to grains and other solid foods. One sequence of breaking the juice fast through a gradual return to a full diet is as follows:
- Day 1: Two pieces of fruit, each divided in half
- Day 2: Steamed non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach or zucchini
- Day 3: Green salads and brown rice. Rice and other solid foods should be thoroughly chewed to assist digestion
- Day 4: Organic yogurt and eggs
- Day 5: Chicken, fish, red meat (if a normal part of the diet), or tofu
- Day 6: Beans and grains other than rice
- Day 7: All other foods
As has been mentioned, people may undergo juice fasting for one or more of the following reasons:
Spiritual or religious practice
Some people find a juice fast to be useful as part of a general religious or spiritual retreat. As was noted earlier, the first stage of an Ayurvedic pancha karma includes extra time given to meditation and nature walks as well as gradual exclusion of stimulants and solid foods from the diet. Those who undertake a juice fast in order to wean themselves from smoking, drugs, or a food addiction are also often looking for spiritual as well as physical release from the habit they are struggling to break. Many people report relief from emotional stress as a side benefit of juice fasting.
Naturopaths frequently recommend juice fasting as a way of ridding the body of various toxins, which they identify as coming from several sources:
- Heavy metals. These include such substances as cadmium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum, chromium, mercury, vanadium, strontium, antimony, cobalt, and lead, which are used in various manufacturing processes and some medical procedures as well as being present in batteries, electronic equipment, coins, cookware, food containers, and other common household items
- Toxic chemicals taken directly into the digestive tract through alcoholic beverages, pesticide residues on supermarket produce, additives in processed foods, or drugs of abuse; or taken into the respiratory tract through breathing household solvents (nail polish remover, spot or stain removers containing benzene, etc.)
- Toxins in the digestive tract produced by yeast and other microorganisms. Ridding the body of this group of toxins is frequently cited as a reason for combining laxatives or enemas with a juice fast. The reader should note that mainstream physicians dispute the notion that normal digestion produces toxic substances in the colon that must be removed by a laxative or enema
- Ammonia, urea, and other breakdown products of protein metabolism. Naturopaths often recommend a vegetarian lifestyle as well as periodic juice fasts in order to minimize the production of these byproducts of meat and dairy products consumption
Treatment of specific illnesses
Juice fasting is sometimes recommended for the treatment of specific diseases and disorders, most commonly arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and depression, but it has also been claimed to be an effective treatment for severe infections (including AIDS), multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Both Jay Kordich and Bernard Jensen have maintained that juice fasts healed them of cancer. One theory that is sometimes advanced to explain the healing power of juice fasting is that the energy that the body would normally use digesting heavy or high-protein meals can instead be directed to its natural self-healing capacity. The medical profession would not recomment the thes practices as a sole treatment and many would discourage their use as they may interfere with and complicate conventional treatments.
The benefits of juice fasting include a rapid immediate weight loss, an effect frequently mentioned in client testimonials. Average weight loss runs between three and five pounds for adults for a three- or four-day juice fast. Mainstream medical research also indicates that juice fasts are useful in providing a period of rest for the digestive tract for patients with irritable bowel syndrome or other functional disorders of the intestines. Lastly, juice fasts have sometimes been helpful in identifying food allergies. As solid foods are gradually reintroduced after the fast, some people discover that they have a previously unsuspected allergy to such foods as corn, wheat, or tomatoes.
In general, anyone considering a juice fast should consult a health professional beforehand. Some groups of people, however, should not undertake a juice fast:
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Children.
- People with any of the following medical conditions: diabetes, hypoglycemia, anorexia or bulimia nervosa, kidney or liver disease, gout, asthma, impaired immune function, epilepsy, cancer, terminal illness, active infections, anemia, malnutrition, or ulcerative colitis.
- People who are underweight.
- People who have increased energy needs such as those who have recently undergone surgery or treatment for severe burns.
Juice fasts should not be extended beyond three or four days without medical supervision, as longer fasts can lead to poor intakes of nutrients such as protein and calcium and could lead to deficiencies. In addition, anyone who feels faint or dizzy, develops an abnormal heart rhythm, feels nauseated or vomits, or has signs of low blood pressure, should discontinue the fast and consult their doctor at once.
On the economic side, juice fasting is a potentially expensive form of dietary therapy. Readers interested in juice fasts at home or in juicing as a dietary addition should be prepared to pay between $60 and $200 for a juicer or juice extractor—although some deluxe models are marketed for as much as $2000. The chief difference is that juice extractors remove the fruit or vegetable pulp from the juice (and are difficult to clean) while juicers generally leave the pulp in the juice. In addition to the cost of the machine and the fruits or vegetables to be juiced, people on a juice fast will usually need to purchase laxatives or enemas for cleansing the bowel. Colonics cost anywhere from $50 to $105 per treatment (as of 2007), while a 5-day juice fast retreat at a spa costs at least $1600 per person at double-occupancy rates.
The major risks to health from juice fasts include metabolic crises in patients with undiagnosed diabetes or hypoglycemia; dizziness or fainting due to sudden lowering of blood pressure; diarrhea, which may result in dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes in the body; and protein or calcium deficiencies from unsu-pervised long-term juice fasts.
Minor side effects include headaches, fatigue, constipation, acne, bad breath, and increased body odor.
Juice fasters who undergo colonics are at risk of contracting an infection from improperly sterilized colonic equipment; of serious illness or death from electrolyte imbalances in the blood; or of serious illness or death resulting from perforation of the intestinal wall by improperly inserted equipment. Colonics can also worsen the symptoms of ulcerative colitis.
Research and general acceptance
Juice fasts as a specific dietary practice have not received much attention from mainstream medical.
researchers; however, they have received some evaluation within clinical studies of Ayurveda and naturop-athy as alternative medical systems. Part of the difficulty is that Ayurveda and naturopathy do not lend themselves easily to the standard clinical trial protocol, which generally focuses on only one illness or one medication at a time rather than on multimodal therapies or the general lifestyle changes recommended by Ayurvedic practitioners and naturopaths.
There have been two studies conducted in Germany in 2005 and 2006 that have reported on the benefits of juice fasting in general lifestyle adjustment and in treating functional bowel disorders. In the United States, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has carried out clinical trials of two specific plants that are often used in juice fasts, aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) and cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). Cranberry juice is still being studied as of 2007 for its possible usefulness in preventing urinary tract infections in women. With regard to aloe vera, NCCAM warns that the gel from the plant has a laxative effect that causes cramps and diarrhea in some people, and may inhibit the absorption of prescription drugs.

The balloon can only be launched in low winds (up to 10 knots). In many parts of the world, this means it can only be flown two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset.
This is because during the day the sun heats up the atmosphere and creates thermals that make balloon flying dangerous. In winter months, when the sun's heat is less powerful, there is a better chance of making daytime flights.
The balloon can stay airborne for a maximum of two hours in normal conditions (a cool temperature under 2000 metres above sea level).
There are two types of balloon flight - free or tethered.
During free flights, once launched the balloon is carried in the general direction of the wind.
The pilot can steer the balloon to an extent by taking advantage of different wind directions at higher and lower altitudes.
For tethered flights the wind speed must be less than for free flights (about 8 knots maximum), because the balloon is in effect resisting the wind and the hot air could be blown out of it, causing it to sink rapidly.
Historic Greenpeace balloon flights include flights over the Berlin wall in 1983, over the US Nevada nuclear test site in 1987 and over the Taj Mahal during the nuclear testing protest in India in 1998.
Greenpeace uses balloons for a variety of campaign purposes, such as for hanging banners, taking pictures of environmental crimes and measurements of airborne pollution from and as a platform for parachute jumps.

Campaign director of Greenpeace Canada, Jo Dufay describes her balloon flight over Quebec City, Canada on 20 April 2001:
As the balloon rose past the citadel in Quebec City, the wind caught the top, stretching the balloon.
This meant it was under-inflated, and we started to plummet. I looked down through the basket of seemingly flimsy wicker.
I wouldn't trust this to hold my laundry, I thought, realising it was the only thing between me and the St Lawrence River below.
Suddenly we were rising again, as Franz, the pilot, turned the flame to a roar. The balloon swelled, the map of the world luminous on the balloon as we looked up through the inside.
With the flame reduced again, we sailed peacefully over the site of the Summit of the Americas, the balloon carrying a message for world leaders -"Stop Climate Change".
In the sudden quiet we heard the Summit security helicopter - they were on to us.
No results found.

Pratt & Whitney Statement on DCMA Audit Findings
The Defense Contract Management Agency recently concluded an audit of Pratt & Whitney's Earned Value Management System (EVMS) – a business tool that is used to track cost and schedule performance on certain types of U.S. Government contracts.
As a result of inadequate compliance with 4 of 32 EVMS guidelines, the DCMA notified Pratt & Whitney that it will immediately begin withholding 5 percent of billings against several contracts on the F135 engine program. This is a step that is available to the customer under the terms of the contract, but negotiations with the government on F135-related contracts should not be impacted by this finding.
The DCMA concluded the audit of Pratt & Whitney's EVMS in mid-April, and in the course of the audit DCMA had open and transparent access to company personnel and data. Although the audit focused on F135 contracts, EVMS is a company-wide system.
There are merits in many of the audit findings. DCMA identified four specific areas for improvement: updating documentation to better align with company processes, improving how to manage and integrate scheduling tools, better estimating and forecasting costs, and improving work package planning.
Pratt & Whitney is working closely with the government to correct deficiencies in these four areas, restore compliance, and achieve approval of our EVMS as quickly as possible.
Under the terms of federal acquisition regulations, the government may withhold a maximum of 5 percent of billings of F135-related contracts, but the DCMA may reduce the withholding if Pratt & Whitney shows significant progress on our corrective action plans.
Our customers expect flawless performance and execution to our contract obligations, supported by an EVMS that provides accurate cost and schedule status for use in managing our programs. We are committed to having the best earned value management system possible, and to consistently and accurately track performance and execution to our contracts. We are likewise committed to delivering a highly capable propulsion system for the F-35 on time, and at an affordable cost for our customers.

Today's Q&A with two of the gents behind Archer revealed all sorts of inside looks at the show's fifth season, but none tickle our kebabs more than revelation that we're getting a Smokey & The Bandit episode this year. Eastbound and down, y'all.
This is, I think, the first image of Archer's new car from that episode. It's a screaming chicken Trans-Am just like God and Hal Needham intended. According to Archer's Matt Thompson the story will appear in the fifth episode this season.
They're going to do it for the money, for the glory, and for the fun. But mostly for the money.

Q. The other day our family drove past a very lively protest at an animal-testing facility at our local university. My dad made some snide comment about how "ever since the '60s, each new crop of kids finds some bleeding heart cause to protest about." I argued that animal rights activism has a long proud history, but actually, I don't even know if that's true. But I'd like to find out, so I can tell my dad he's wrong. - Cherie, GA
A. It is true and you are right, lucky for you - and even luckier for the countless animals that have been rescued, adopted, fed and loved by kindhearted animal rights activists, whose concentrated efforts (at least in the Western world) date back to the early 19th century.
But even way back then, animal rights activism was an uphill battle. "Not so long ago, the very concept of animal protection would have seemed preposterous — simply unimaginable — to most people," says historian Kathryn Shevelow, whose book, For the Love of Animals, charts the birth and progress of the animal rights movement. By the close of the 18th century, Shevelow writes, cockfighting, dogfighting and bear-baiting were wildly popular spectator sports in Europe, and labor animals such as cart horses were regularly beaten and worked literally to death.
It wasn't until 1822 that animal protectionists won their first public victory: Britain's Ill-Treatment of Cattle Act, which actually extended to horses and donkeys as well. It was the first national law anywhere that dealt specifically with cruelty to animals, Shevelow writes. Two years later, twenty Britons attended a meeting that had been called by a cleric to discuss animal-rights, and the ground breaking forum gave rise to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The group was hardly an instant success; only with "incessant efforts, years of heartbreaking failure, contempt, ridicule, and obstruction on many fronts," Shevelow laments, did it finally achieve further parliamentary victories.
Things changed in 1840, when Queen Victoria took an interest in the group. Under her sponsorship, it was renamed the "Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." Since then, the movement has spread far and wide, proving once again that a little royal endorsement can really never hurt.
So you see, it's thanks to more than a century of hard work that most of us today take animal protection standards for granted. Heck, even NFL stars get persecuted for animal abuse these days. Which (cough, OJ Simpson) is saying quite a lot.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Grain is a PoW/PoS coin that is designed to be the unit of cyber-coin. It has a total of 50 billion unit to be released, through a fair p2p mining process. It is fast, secure and have sufficient coins for circulation so it can be used in real daily shopping. Grain is from the family of PPCoin/Novacoin with latest available algorithms that fixed various problems in the PoW/PoS coins. As compared to the PoW only coins, the proof of stake coins are more resilient to 51% attack. Also it is a long term energy-efficient crypto-currency since not all coins are obtained by mining.

Phosphate Removal Media (GFO)
The purpose of granular ferric oxide is to inhibit algae growth by removing phosphates from the aquarium. Maintaining low phosphate levels will help prevent algae outbreaks and control growth. Serious algae outbreak is one of the most common reasons for complete tank shutdown. GFO is an essential tool and should be part of regular tank maintenance
BRS Bulk Granular ferric oxide comes in two different types.
Granular GFO - requires the least amount of flow to tumble. Good for reactors.
High Capacity GFO -twice as dense as Granular or Pelletized GFO. This means twice as much material will fit into a reactor. It's extremely hard and has less dust. By volume High Capacity GFO will remove roughly twice the phosphate compared to Granular or Pelletized GFO. Best overall performance.
Bulkreefsupply.com has expanded our selection of GFO to include granular ferric oxide products from Fauna Marin, Two Little Fishies and Eheim.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into complaints that some Jeep Wrangler vehicles and Chevrolet Cruze sedans are prone to engine fires.
The investigation is taking a look at the 2010 Jeep Wrangler and the 2011 Chevy Cruze. NHTSA says it has eight complaints about engine fires in the Wrangler and two complaints about the Cruze.
In many of the complaints, drivers said the fires began while the engine was running.
Spokesmen for Chrysler and General Motors said the automakers were cooperating with the investigations.

Asian Dragon sterling silver necklace
The Lucky Dragon Asian style Dragon Necklace
Thoughts about Dragons
Some electro magnetic hidden planets folk think that there's a planet that only comes around every 3600 years or something like that and that when it does it causes incredible visual situations in the sky, and that could be one possible explanation for the essentially world wide belief in Dragons.
Some less sciency folk simply know what they know from in-between times and spaces, worlds etc., and aren't particularly concerned with figuring out the hows about it, because the existence of Dragon beauty, power and potency validates itself in their own consciousness.
Symbolically, Power and Potency is the name of the game here, and anyone who's tapped it successfully understands the value of that, particularly in terms of Magick or as I like to say Conscious Reality Creation.
In any case, as with most things, the more focus you give Dragons the more they seem to exist -Walk with Dragons, they walk with You type thing. Or fly, as it were.
A rather nice way to get about.

TR2 brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 74 Designs von 27 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
AMD Industries, Inc. (http://www.amdindustriesinc.com) is an acid mine water purification company. Our clients are coalmines and Departments of Environmental Protection - read more about our industry in the brief. The clients we cater to are mostly male professionals, who need to comply with DEP regulations.
We do NOT have an existing website. We want a simple design homepage. The site should be HTML Coded. We do not envision having a lot of copy; we definitely would like to include graphic images that shows clean water. We want a classy, and simple modern site. The logo was designed on this site and can be referenced by contest number 12570. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PRICE IS FOR ALL PAGES – YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE 5 SEPARATE PAGES AS THE FOUR SUBPAGES WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR IN DESIGN TO THE HOMEPAGE.
http://www.amdindustriesinc.com - winning logo is #12570
We are in the process of creating a new look and feel for our company, AMD Industries, Inc. We recently had a new logo created (via 99designs) and now in the process of creating our stationary and business cards. The next and probably most important step is the website. This is going to be the main source of driving NEW business.
SITE MUST BE HTML CODED- Item 1...We want to utilize our company logo's color as the color scheme on the site.- Item 2...Would love to have a flash element embedded on the front page.- Item 3...We want images on each page that represents our industry which is basically purifying the acid in drainage water in the coal mines.- Item 4...We want simple and clean lines - nothing to "out there"- Item 5...Very simple - not a lot of copy on the front page - we want the message to be clear, yet simple.- Item 6...Site should be masculine - as the owners and majority of clients are male.- Item 7...The site needs to have the front page and 4 sub pages. They are About Us (bio of owners); What we do (2 paragraphs of our strategic services - this page could also have a list of more tactical items; Our clients and case studies (should include both client URLs and pictures) and ten contact page. I want to have both the contact and home buttons either on the top of bottom of each page.- Item 8...For the front page - this is where we need to make a great first impression - something very simple, yet impactful. We are open to any ideas, but tend to like to keep the copy simple.- Item 9...The visual element of what our company does is strong. Acid mine drainage (AMD) occurs at about 70% of the world's mine sites. It is a naturally occurring process that leads to the contamination of water and occurs when water and oxygen react with exposed sulphide minerals in waste rock, tailings, rock cuts and underground workings, picking up heavy metals such as copper, zinc, cadmium, nickel, cobalt and arsenic. The result is a cocktail of heavy metals dissolved in weak acidic water which is toxic to the environment.Because acid mine drainage can create an environmental liability that remains long after a mine has ceased operations, it is fully regulated in most jurisdictions and must be treated. Environmental regulations around the world make the treatment of contaminated water and its sources the mining industry's single greatest liability. A water concept would be ideal!
- Item 1...A lot of room for copy on the front page.- Item 2...Anything looking dated or cartoony or feminine.- Item 3...Soft colors are a NO.

Parts & Labor, the new meat-centric project from Woodberry Kitchen restaurateurs Amy and Spike Gjerde, is something new for Baltimore: a combination restaurant and butcher shop.
The restaurant's culinary focus couldn't be clearer. It's meat. It's not all meat, all the time, but it comes close. The menu's centerpiece is a changing selection of five or so dry-aged butcher's cuts, which the menu describes as "under-appreciated" cuts like "plate steak" and "petite tender," which the waiter will helpfully tell you is not at all like a filet mignon.
Along with recommended cooking temperatures, the menu provides detailed information about each cut's marbling and muscle location. And what the menu doesn't tell you, your waiter, without much prompting, will.
You can also order up a charcuterie board, a dry-aged burger. a maple kielbasa sausage, or a serving or two of organ meats and "off-cut" items, things like pickled trotter on toast, or a massive peach-glazed ham hock that looks impermeable but that yields up hunks of charred and smoky meat for dipping into a bold porter mustard.
Parts & Labor, it has to be said, has gone whole hog. And whole steer.
Your enjoyment of Parts & Labor may come down to what you can and can't have at your meal.
At the beginning, you can have beer — and wine — on draft. The beer list has a regional focus, the wine list does not. You can get a glass of locally produced cider or sour mead. And you can get a good stiff drink, like the Grapes of Wrath, made with brandy, hard cider, honey, orange bitters and verjus.
And at the end, you can get a nectarine-rhubarb crisp or the house specialty, a chocolate layer cake made with lard. But, at least for now, you can't get a cup of coffee, although the restaurant plans to add coffee service at some point.
Along the way, you can have pickled snacks, perky salads and savory side dishes, all of which are treated at Parts & Labor with great care. But you can't have a piece of fish. There's no chicken, either. That's odd, I know, or at least unusual, but it doesn't feel that way when you're dining here.
Of the snacks, we most loved a dish of pickled kohlrabi, one of those vegetables you don't think about much, if at all. It turns out that pickled kohlrabi, which is in the cabbage family, is a crisp and crunchy delight, especially with a touch of ginger. The exceptional salad is one composed of young kale, liberally coated with peppercorn dressing, with nuggets of raw-milk goat cheese. The best of the side dishes is coal-roasted rutabagas with maple butter and pickled fish peppers.
As for the steaks, they are prepared and presented simply, with a steak sauce and an herb relish. You'll find that you enjoy some cuts more than others, which is part of the fun. The steaks are portioned, and priced, moderately — all are $20 and under — and most are delivered sliced and fanned, so a table can share and compare meat notes.
The exception, the quick steak, is served intact, and is topped, deliciously, with peppercorn gravy and a duxelles, a coarse and buttery mixture of chopped mushrooms, parsley and shallots. It was our favorite.
A dinner here is brisk and uplifting, tended to by an energetic staff. You certainly don't feel like you're dining in a butcher shop, and it's not like diners are taken into the meat locker to point out the part of the carcass they want to have on their plate.
The setting for your meat-fest is The Tire Shop, a renovated industrial building in Remington that also houses Single Carrot Theatre. The interior's industrial past has not been obliterated. But it's been softened by warm wood, sunlight and brick. A row of community dining tables runs down the room's center, flanked on one side by a row of wooden booths and on the other by the open kitchen.
The dining room's dominating feature is its aroma — the smell of meat being seared over a hickory flame.

Having nearly reached the top of the traditional product maturation S-curve, PC-based racing sims have had to differentiate themselves in areas other than the fidelity of the driving physics, the quality of the sounds and graphics associated with cars and tracks, and the abilities of the AI opponents. Basically, the new releases coming from top shelf developers like SimBin will concentrate more on things like which cars and tracks are modeled than they will on advances in the engine that drives the experience.
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company.
I've been fascinated with video games and computers for as long as I can remember. It was always a treat to get dragged to the mall with my parents because I'd get to play for a few minutes on the Atari 2600. I partially blame Asteroids, the crack cocaine of arcade games, for my low GPA in college which eventually led me to temporarily ditch academics and join the USAF to "see the world." The rest of the blame goes to my passion for all things aviation, and the opportunity to work on work on the truly awesome SR-71 Blackbird sealed the deal.
My first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1 that I bought in 1977 when they first came out. At that time you had to order them through a Radio Shack store - Tandy didn't think they'd sell enough to justify stocking them in the retail stores. My favorite game then was the SubLogic Flight Simulator, which was the great Grandaddy of the Microsoft flight sims.
While I was in the military, I bought a Commodore 64. From there I moved on up through the PC line, always buying just enough machine to support the latest version of the flight sims. I never really paid much attention to consoles until the Dreamcast came out. I now have an Xbox for my console games, and a 1ghz Celeron with a GeForce4 for graphics. Being married and having a very expensive toy (my airplane) means I don't get to spend a lot of money on the lastest/greatest PC and console hardware.
My interests these days are primarily auto racing and flying sims on the PC. I'm too old and slow to do well at the FPS twitchers or fighting games, but I do enjoy online Rainbow 6 or the like now and then, although I had to give up Americas Army due to my complete inability to discern friend from foe. I have the Xbox mostly to play games with my daughter and for the sports games.

The best stories are born when the unexpected happens. That's even more true when Miatas are involved.
Just ask Catherine Lee, a friend of mine who lives in Texas and whose engagement photo session ended up being quite memorable after it overlapped with a San Antonio-area Miata club's Christmas party last weekend.
She and her fiancée were doing their shots at a ranch near Seguin where they're getting married later, but they had to share the venue with some rowdy roadster enthusiasts for just a bit. She sent me the picture above of the cars at the ranch.
But there's no ill will here — she seemed to think the whole thing was just kind of ridiculous, and it sounds like the Miata owners got a kick out of it too. (As a whole, they're usually having too much fun to take themselves too seriously.) Here's what she told me:
I had asked the wedding coordinator if we could take pictures out there and he said that would be fine, but there was an event going on at one of the facilities. As we walked around the grounds taking our pictures we saw that one of the buildings was decorated for a Christmas Party. People slowly started to show up, including a photographer in a Santa hat.
We figured it was just some sort of company christmas party but noticed that there were a few Miatas parked in the grass field. A few minutes later, what looked like a parade of them started driving down the long dirt road from the entrance gate. People were everywhere in Santa hats, all getting out of their Miatas.
Most likely it was the Bluebonnet Miata Club and their friends, who had their Christmas party at the same ranch on Sunday. She said she thinks something like 60 Miatas were in attendance.
We continued to take our pictures on the ranch as the Miata club came by on a hay ride to check out the longhorns. They waved as they drove by and someone yelled "smile!" They watched the owner feed the longhorns and then continued on the hay ride around the property. About that time it started getting dark and we left, as more miatas trickled into the ranch!
Luckily, she said she was able to get the engagement photos done. They had to cancel the photo shoot once before because of illness, and so she said she was going to make it happen regardless of what happened.
Of course, this is a Texas Miata club hanging out on a ranch full of longhorns, so their party wouldn't be complete without some country shenanigans.
We were taking pictures with the longhorns in the background as they were coming by on the hay ride. They drove by a couple times, and at that point we got up to walk to a different area. They stopped the hay ride and the owner called out "sorry, we have to be back in this area". We said it's ok because we were done with the longhorns anyway. We walked to a different area and finished up our pictures, and as we came back by he had a big bucket and was feeding one of the longhorns and he was having them yell "yeehaw" in unison.
We went back to our area, changed into our clothes, got our stuff together, and as we drove out they were still looking at the longhorns! Luckily the ranch was big enough to where we had plenty of other picture spots. I really wanted some longhorn pictures though so I'm glad we didn't wait any longer to do those. I probably would have told them to drive around a while longer!
No word on whether the Miata club will be invited to the wedding.
What group of car owners would you least want to show up at your wedding?

Organic Cotton Mattress Pads and Quilted Toppers Extend the Life of Your Mattress
Organic Cotton Mattress Pads and Quilted Toppers Extend the Life of Your MattressI was recently reading a forum and noticed a person asking where they could get a mattress pad like those made by Naturepedic (she even included a link to the product) for her own, adult-sized bed. There are quite a few people interested in organic cotton mattress pads and toppers, so I thought I'd let you know that we do actually have larger sizes – not just those that fit toddler and crib mattresses.
Mattress pads and toppers are a good idea for every bed – they help keep the mattress clean, make it more comfortable, and extend the life of your mattress. If you choose a waterproof model, it will also help keep the mattress free of bodily fluids, make sure it stays dry so no mold or bacteria develop and block dust-mites and other allergens.
The waterproof models are also very comfortable – the outer and inner layers are soft, organic cotton, but between them is a non-toxic membrane that blocks liquids. You sleep on the soft cotton without sacrificing protection.
We make mattress pads and toppers in several different sizes: Everything from bassinette to full in both waterproof and non-waterproof models, and a waterproof queen-size.
We have models that simply lie on top of the mattress, others that have straps that keep them from sliding around or falling off the mattress, and still others that wrap around the sides and corners like a fitted sheet.
No matter which model you choose, they're all made in the U.S.A, are machine wash and dryable, don't contain Vinyl / PVC, phthalates or latex, and are GREENGUARD certified.
To find out more, check out the Naturepedic organic cotton mattress pads and quilted mattress toppers on our website.

Last days of "Wicked" sees Nicole Parker as Elphaba
The "Wicked" ride at the Buell is coming to its close (May 20) but not before giving area audiences one more actress to catch in the role of the green one. Nicole Parker, who has played Elphaba on Broadway, joins the cast Friday. Earlier this month, PJ Benjamin arrived from the Broadway production to play the Wizard.
Mamie Parris has been the lead, and a very fine one indeed. But as Running Lines readers know from a previous post, some attendees were knocked out by understudy Ashley Dawn Mortensen.
I received a similar note of praise from Post sports writer and avid theatergoer Terry Frei about the understudy for Alli Mauzey: "We saw the Glinda understudy, Cassie Okenka, and she was terrific." It says a lot when a team, er, company has a deep bench.

Last night was the second class of my Fall Into to Modern Quilting course at Sewn Studio. I taught an earlier session there this spring, and I'm really excited to be teaching again. We're working on the same project as before, "Fenced In" by Elizabeth Hartman, from her book The Practical Guide to Patchwork. We spent the first class talking about modern quilting, learning about the pattern, and choosing fabrics. It's always so fun to see all the different prints that the students chose for their quilts!
Theresa picked a gorgeous combination of fabrics...a little Anna Maria Horner, a little Tina Givens, a little Violet Craft. Beautiful!
Noel is making a festive quilt using fabrics from Kate Spain's wonderful line, Flurry. I'm sure this quilt will soon play a prominent role in her annual holiday tradition!
Karen is working with a soft, floral palette with lots of pale pinks and greens, with a touch of brown. It's really pretty, and so soothing to the eye.
Ellen is working with a fun mix of bright, bold colors. They look like solids in the photo, but they are really tone-on-tone fabrics. With her black sashing, I think this will look like a modern spin on a traditional Amish quilt.
Michelle's mix is so fun and eclectic! I love it. It's a mix of bright colors and modern prints, based on one of her daughter's favorite fabrics.
And last, but not least, Lisa is working with another cheerful group of fabrics, with some florals and modern geometric designs. Gorgeous, right?
Our class is filled to the maximum capacity of six students, and there were four more on the waiting list. Wow! I'm really proud of the work my students are doing, and I can't wait to see how their projects progress over the next six weeks!

Consol faces religious discrimination lawsuit
The federal government has filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against Consol Energy, Inc. over a worker who believed biometric hand scans violated his Christian beliefs.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says in a Wednesday release that Pittsburgh-based Consol began using biometric hand scans in 2012 at a mining operation in Mannington, West Virginia, but Beverly R. Butcher, Jr. felt they violated his Christian beliefs.
The EEOC says Butcher believes there is a connection between hand scans and the Mark of the Beast mentioned in the Bible.
Consol allegedly refused to consider alternatives to biometric scans, and essentially forced Butcher to retire before he intended to.
A Consol spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, and a message left at a number listed for Butcher wasn't returned.

New Project Will Change One Sewer District from Private to Public
COLUMBIA- The Columbia Public Works Department held a public meeting Wednesday night to discuss a new project that may change East Poplar Hill Drive and South Bethel Church Road's sewer system from private to public.
Tom Wellman, engineering specialist, introduced the project to affected property owners and some residents. Wellman said the present sewer system uses small lagoons, and if they do not work well, un-treated sewage will flow over the ground downstream. The new suggested system will pipe sewage to the city treatment plant and treat sewage more properly.
About a dozen property owners showed up to the meeting. Mike Mehrdad, one of the property owners, said the plan is great for the environment and the community. "I think with proper management the system will benefit people who live in the community," Mehrdad said.
The major concern from the property owners is the cost. Wellman said a single-family resident lot would cost about $5,000, and he would communicate with the city and try to find some ways to spread out the cost over a length of time.
If the city council approves the plan, the project will take about 12 to 18 months to finish.

Elizabeth Duggan
In Her Own Words
My name is Elizabeth Duggan, and my major is Business Administration. In January 2010, I began interning in the Special Events department with CMT (Country Music Television). Interning with CMT has been the best experience of my life. I have made so many new friends, from all over the country. I have encountered some of the biggest artists and top executives in the industry. Throughout my internship, I worked on exclusive events with various artists within aspects of ticketing and audience management, communicating with vendors, creative design, and overall event management. Some of the events and CMT takings I have woked on include:
- CMT Crossroads – featuring Keith Urban and John Mayer
- CMT Comedy Special – featuring Melissa Peterman (Am I the Only One)
- Country Radio Seminar – featuring Big Machine Records, The Valory Music So., Republic Nathville, and CMT Radio Live
- CMT Crossroads – featuring Kenny Chesney and Steve Miller Band (airing July 9, 2010)
- CMT Awards 2010 – hosted by Kid Rock
Throughout this internship, I have learned what I am capable of, and at times even surprised myself. I was able to delegate, improve my communication skills, and prove my ability to think on my feet. My only regret is that I only completed one intership. My advice to other students would be to do as many internships as possible, in order to find out his or her interests and strengths, long before graduation.
Update: Elizabeth just found out that she is being hired as freelance for the Jimmy Buffett and Friends show in Orange Beach Alabama. During a working lunch with her surpervisor from CMT, they talked about career options and although CMT isn't currently hiring for positions that are a good fit for Elizabeth, her supervisor is looking over Elizabeth's resume and sending it to some of her contacts. Elizabeth's supervisor is also putting together a reference letter for her resume. So she's all smiles right now 🙂
