We know that maintaing a gluten free lifestyle is important as gluten is toxic to our bodies. Research shows us that eating anything containing this protein can damage the small intestine and cause the onset of several harmful health conditions. Changing our diet becomes essential. It becomes necessary to avoid all food containing gluten. So what is gluten anyways? Gluten is a storage protein called a prolamin. It exists in many grains such as barley – in the form of hordein, in rye – as secalin, and, of course, in wheat as gliadin. Wheat is a common ingredient of many food products including the bread we eat, the beer we drink and such delicious treats as cakes, cookies, pastas, pies and muffins. Through a process called cross contamination, gluten also makes its way into other food. It even can be found in the ingredients that add flavor and taste to our food – spices. Even Spices?Yes, it is true. Spices do not originally contain gluten. Contamination occurs when they come into contact with it or a product containing gluten in a facility that utilizes ingredients such as flours as a filler. While a spice on its own is free from the protein, this is not always the case with commercial spice and seasoning blends. The mixtures or combinations of spices may contain a carrier agent.In the case of spices, the carrier agent may be wheat flour or wheat starch. This introduces the gluten into the spice mixture. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have successfully put into place a "Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act." It necessitates the declaration of any ingredient component if it is found in the list of the top 8 allergens. Yet, you can avoid potential problems with gluten allergies. Our suggestion is simple. As there are foods that lack gluten, so, too, are there spice blends that do not contain gluten. Gluten Free Spice BlendsGluten free spice and seasoning blends allow you to liven up all your food choices. Feel free to add them whenever you are cooking to whatever you are cooking. We provide a selection of gluten free spice blends that will treat any palate. In fact, we even have custom spice blends, combined to create a taste treat for even the most jaded palate.Alter Your DietCeliac disease brings with it the need to alter our diets. Yet, completely avoiding gluten does not mean jettisoning taste. Add savor to your food with our gluten free spice blends - get started today! You will be pleasantly surprised.Premium Potato Salad
Prepare the day before and overnight this stuff sits and gets happy in the fridge, and the flavors penetrate deep into each potato morsel. As an enthusiastic sampler once said ~ "Wow! This stuff tastes like your having a picnic in your mouth!" Premium Dill Dip

Adulthood isn't always fun, but at least when you have kids, you get to do fun kid stuff: building forts, visiting theme parks, playing Candyland, and hanging out on a swing set without getting weird looks. But what if you don't have kids and still want an excuse to act like one?
The best part about spending your weekend immersed in a childish activity is adopting a kid's attitude at the same time: don't be self-conscious, don't worry about work, and just have fun. Here are 16 ideas for how you can feel young again without spending too much grown-up money.
- Spend a day at a water park.
- Or just run through a sprinkler on your next jog.
- Grab a ball and glove and play some good old-fashioned catch.
- Build a sand castle at the beach.
- Invite your friends over for a slumber party. Pajamas required, cocktails optional.
See the rest of the sweet 16 when you read more.

Pulse of The People: Gun contol bill is bad legislation
What happens when a governor and Legislature ram through a badly conceived and poorly written bill in the middle of the night — for political grandstanding and to further a radical anti-gun agenda, with such speed that senators and assemblymen have only 20 minutes to read the bill (that cannot be read in 20 minutes) before a vote? We get irrational, unsupportable bad law — the new anti-gun law that Gov. Andrew Cuomo labeled, "the best in the nation."
Here's what we got from Cuomo, 48 uninformed senators and 104 uninformed assemblymen and women. Assume an armed gunman in a school. The police are called and 10 officers swarm the school and arrest the gunman. Here's the part where Cuomo's law comes into play — all 10 police officers have committed a class E felony, conviction of which will forfeit their employment as police officers, as well as other penalties. But, you say, how can this be? This is how.
While Cuomo and the uninformed zealots in the Legislature were ramming this atrocity through — Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid style, they didn't have an opportunity, as the New York State Constitution requires, to calmly review the bill over a period of days to determine whether there were colossal mistakes. Predictably, there were.
The state Penal law provides exemption for police officers from specifically listed sections. If the section of law is not specifically listed in the exemption section, they are not exempt from the law's provisions. This is why police can still be charged with various crimes — they are only exempt from a few specifically listed provisions. Before the "best law in the nation" was passed in the middle of the night, the provision relating to weapons on school grounds was in a section specifically listed in the exemption. Now it is repealed and an entirely new section is enacted — that is not listed in the exemption. Thus, as a matter of law, police will be guilty of a class E felony if they enter upon school grounds with their guns.
But there is time to fix this, and to fix the many other irrational provisions such as the magazine limit and other obnoxious provisions and mistakes. I suggest the Legislature take a deep breath, sit down, draft a repeal bill that will fix it so our police are not felons, fix it so our citizens who own magazines and weapons (that prior to the "best law in the nation" were not unlawful to possess) are not criminals. A fix that will limit the new bill to real common sense solutions such as those provisions relating to mental health law, safe storage in circumstances where a resident in the same household poses a danger due to mental health problems, and tougher penalties for offenses that are already on the books. I suggest a total repeal of the "best law in the nation" and replacing it with a shorter, more common sense bill that respects the rights of both our citizens and our police.
And this time let's do it in the open, in the light of day, and have input on it from our elected legislators and from the public through hearings. Let's see the governor and Legislature treat those who they've been elected to serve like citizens of a democratic republic rather than subjects of a tyrannical government. Shall we?

The temperature's soaring and so are your utility bills. Looks like summer is making you break into a sweat in more ways than one! But don't lose your cool because here are some ways to you can keep your home cool without breaking the bank. And bonus! You'd be playing your part in saving the environment too!
Figure out the problem areas. Get an energy assessment of your home. The assessment will tell you how efficient your cooling system is. Do you have air leaks? An under-insulated attic? These are the spaces in your home that are wasting energy. And an assessment can tell you that too. Your utility company might offer free or low-cost assessments. But for all you DIYers, there's an online tool here.
Efficiency is the name of the game. Look out for the Energy Guide on your refrigerator and AC. This should give you an idea about their energy consumption and the lower the better. Also, appliances marked with an Energy Star label meet certain criteria for efficiency set by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Seal and insulate. Seal air leaks around windows, doors and parts of the walls from where pipes and wires come through. Check ducts for holes and gaps where sections have separated and air may be leaking. You can seal some of them yourself!
Keep everything ship-shape. Bump up your thermostat before going out, there's no reason to have full cooling when you're not there to enjoy it! Make sure that the filter of your AC is clean by checking it regularly.
Look for offers! Ask your local utility about cash rebates, low-interest loans, tax breaks, or other incentives for buying energy efficient products, and how you can qualify.
Long term plans. Installing new, energy-efficient windows might be expensive initially, but works very well in the long run. They will reduce the air-leaks in your home and protect you and your furniture from harmful UV rays. And, even better, the value of your property will increase too!
So, make your home green and save money and the environment this summer!

One tip that will really help your budget is choosing the Balance Billing option that National Grid allows you to do. This way you pay the same amount every month instead of having big fluctuations in the bill. The bill amount only changes every six months when they review usage and I have seen from using it the both my electric and gas bill only change by $5-7 per month when they make the adjustment based on your usage for the last 12 months,

This is what we've done and it is definitely worth it, especially since, as tenants, we can't control a lot of the energy saving recommendations that agencies like this put out every year.

Great essay!
Here's another tip for saving energy during the summer months: Most, if not all A/C's have an "Economy" mode, which makes the A/C act as a thermostat by turning itself on and off to maintain the set temperature. Putting the A/C on the "Energy Saver" or "Economy" mode when one leaves the house for any length of time is also helpful in saving energy.

MPLO I took all of the big boys out 10,000,12,000 and replace with 5,000 but put in each room that I needed and have saved a bundle and am getting the same results. But it is very important to keep those filters spotless NO DUST that makes it more efficient. Changed all the shades to SUNBLOCKERS. 5 rooms high ceilings and I can keep it real cool inside.

I would never do the "Economy" mode from the Electric Company. They're almost always making out with extra money from you in that case. Especially considering they do things 6 months at a time. When can you remember using the same amount of electricity in June, than you did in December? Yes, your dollar amounts don't have large jumps.. but that doesn't mean you're saving money. I'd rather go the summer months paying $80, $80, $80 in Electricity, then dropping that down to $30 in the winter, than give National Grid one extra penny of my money.

So now somehow I'm FF?Sorry, but just because I'm pointing out how miserably ignorant you are on the subject does not equate me with someone who regurgitates TYT clips 24/7.But let's get back on subject as I'm not done with you yet.NEVER have I said Romney wasn't going negative, but thanks for playing.I'm saying that the Obama camp has gone to the extreme. Accusing a presidential candidate of committing a felony and making slave master analogies to a 50% black crowd comes nowhere close to..... ohhhh calling someone a liar.Think duck.. think.
Sorry but Duck specifically excluded "outside" groups in this debate. Unless you can cite Romney's camp using one of those accusations except the new jobs one, then i'm all ears.
I also asked some other QUESTIONS that you ignored as well. Like isn't his taxes causing a problem by not releasing them?
Oh sure they are causing a problem, otherwise he would have released them no problem. Are you finished with equating "you lied" to "you're a slave owning felon"? Or do you still want to embarass yourself?
How do you feel about him picking Ryan. A good thing or not so good? Does his view help Romney. Does his being a Congress-critter help him? Really, what are the pluses for Ryan as VP pick?
Did anyone catch the Romney speech in which he said by the end of his second term "North America" would not be dependent on Middle East or Venezuelan oil? What is up with that? I thought he was running for President of the USA, not the NAU.
I seriously doubt that come November that I will vote for the Republican's for President, but if I look at this objectively....I'd say it is a good pick by the Romney campaign. Picks up some Tea Party votes along with some conservative potential crossover votes. He has a personality that some folks will take a liking too as well.Christie, as the other VP selection, would have been easy media and Democrat attack fodder that have made Sarah Palin look like a viable VP candidate. BTW, I watched "Game Change" recently....she was a bigger buffoon than I thought. I'd still like to ask Glenn Rice how good that stuff was though .I think being a Congress critter may work to his advantage....seems to have done the trick for Obama.Time will tell though, but he does seem to have energized the Romney campaign somewhat. I suspect Obama will win the election, and we will still have a divided country.
Lotta ramblin' there John. In case you're not keeping up, Obama is not a free enterprise kinda' guy. He's the guy who wants to "spread the wealth around".
Frankly I thought it was rather concise and to the point.

potentail 55gal reef build
hi everyone i'm thinking about turning a 55gal glass aquarium (can't drill it) Into a reefwith posibly a few fish. What all would I need minimum before I could even think about putting coral inside the tank and what kind of filtration should I use? I've only have had experience to canisters and only with tropical fresh water tanks ( I have a 110gal wide, cichlid tank). thx for any help you can offer this salt water nubie
Before you begin, the first step is to forget the word "minimum". If you half ass a reef tank, you might as well just burn your money. It will be faster and less painfull.
Start reading some articles about reef tanks and check back here later...100g Reef
+1 to the above
I would suggest a setup with live rock, a HOB protien skimmer, and reef lighting. The below can help you with that
http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.co...ne-aquarium-2/If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

+1 to above.
Plan it right and you will have a great tank... plan it wrong and it will be a money pit.
Sump, LR, skimmer and reef lighting. Plus, test kits for ca, mg, nh3, no3 and ph. Then if the reef is using the elements you will need to dose the elements.
The key to it all is lots of research and understanding what each piece of the puzzle does.300g + 240g in wall build! - Follow Here

The key to it all is lots of research and understanding what each piece of the puzzle does.[/QUOTE]
^^^^That is the key ^^^^
I started my reef in a 55 gallon. I wish I had gone to a wider tank. The stand for a normal 55 gallon will limit the size of sump one can have underneath the tank. I found a 16 gallon tall which I made into a sump for my skimmer but a 75 gallon would have been so much better. Using an overflow box(which I do) isn't as nice as having a canister or HOB or drilled tank. The stuff just doesn't get sucked away with an over flow box.
Live rock rules. Taking your time is a must. My head is still spinning with all the info I'm taking in on my current set-up.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.

The baLens is a very high quality snap-on lens cap that accepts a neutral or a warm dome to read the color temperature of the light actually illuminating the subject or scene. When using the camera's custom white balance setting with the baLens snap cap the photographer can quickly and easily tell the camera what the actual color temperature is for the most accurate in-camera color correction. No longer do you have to read a white or gray card placed in the scene to get the most accurate color. No longer will reflective surfaces confuse the white balance – the baLens works by reading the light falling on the subject – not bouncing off the subject.The baLens also functions as a dependable lens cap. It snaps on easily and tightly, so it is already on your lens and ready to be used at any time.

Following some really busy weeks and weekends travelling the country it was great this week to have a visitor to our Music Store in Newport from our old friend Chad Smith.
We gave Chad the grand tour which included Austin's Brass Instrument Repair, Fly's Percussion Hire Department, Mike's Musical Instrument Sales section and Chad was really impressed with our recently expanded Brass section, he likes nothing better than a blow on the Trumpet when he's not playing the Drums. He spent some time talking to Simon Brittlebank who seems to be always on tour with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales with our Orchestral Stage Management Services and finally Chad had the pleasure of visiting the inner sanctum of Ev-entz which is Adrian's office. As you can see from the photo below he seemed to like this place the best and this was the only place where he could sit down, relax and have a cup of coffee.
Chad had fun playing with some of our new stock and so we thought we would share with you some of his favourites.
So these were Chad's favourites following his recent visit. Click on any of the above images to get more information on that particular item.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I know many knowledgeable ballet people, dancers, teachers and ex of both varieties, plus fans that adore Alina Somova. As others have mentioned, Ballet Alert seems to be plaqued by an anti-Somova movement that is blind to the remarkable improvement in every aspect of her being a ballerina and i hope that other Somova lovers will not be intimidated by the many Somova haters that discourage her many fans. Her Giselle on both nights was vastly superior in almost every section and every detail of the performance, except her grave entrance, where Vishneva was the clear champion. It is a tragedy how Somova haters have frightened Somova lovers from praising her because of fear of being insulted. Now some of these Somova lovers have come out of the woodwork and spoken their minds, despite getting insulted again with comments about phoney reviews and internet trolls that eventually get kicked out when their provenance is disclosed. People are not antiques or collectibles where provenance increases the value. I do not want any verbal battles, but I cannot be intimidated and will speak the truth, which is contrary to what has been said on Ballet Alert as the truth about Alina Somova. As far as I am concerned, we have grossly different opinions and you are entitled to hate her, just as much as anyone else is entitled to love her. When someone is severely criticized and frightened for stating their opinion, then that is seriously wrong.

Bouffalant @ Choice Band Trait: Sap Sipper EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Adamant Nature - Earthquake - Head Charge - Megahorn - Superpower
Lets see
Good set but it needs a little improvement.This set is greater to use in RU.
Sandslash@Leftovers Trait:Sand rush Impish nature(+DeF,-SpA) EV'S 252 Hp/252 Def/4 SpD
Sandstorm Earthquake Stone edge Stealth rock
With access to Stealth Rock , Sandslash is primed for a support role, and can work particularly well as a lead. The EVs here optimize physical defense, allowing Sandslash to check or counter some of the premier physical attackers in the tier, such as Aggron, Aerodactyl, and Electivire, and to effectively wall and set up against weaker physical attackers. Earthquake is a reliable and strong STAB move that prevents it from becoming Taunt bait, whilst Stone Edge allows it to deal damage to those immune or resistant to its STAB move.SAnstorm to raise your spped because of the ability sand rush
Take out overheat.You lose a tonne of SpA using that move.Let us go to a more reliable move.Enter our good friend flamethrower.Good move.good power and also has a chance to burn(10%).Other moves are good.No changes to that.
It needs some improvement.I shall give you a moveset.
Whimsicott@Leftovers Trait:Prankster Nature bold(+DeF,-AtK) EV'S 252 Hp/252 Def/4 Spd
Stun spore Mememto Encore Giga drain
This is Whimsicott's best set, and can be manipulated to fit onto a wide variety of teams. Prioritized Stun Spore is extremely annoying for the opponent, especially when it can paralyze Ground-type Pokemon that are normally immune to Thunder Wave—this can greatly aid a slower sweeper, such as Nidoqueen, and give it the opportunity to sweep. If you would like to bring in a teammate that is a setup sweeper, then Memento may be more appealing, as it will most likely force the opponent to switch out, giving your sweeper a free turn to set up. Encore is another reliable way to force switches and aid setup sweepers, as forcing your opponent to continually use a move such as Protect will provide a massive setup opportunity for a teammate.Giga Drain is Whimsicott's best weapon against the likes of Rhydon, Omastar, Kabutops, Feraligatr, and other Water- and Rock-types;
All from smogan.
It looks pretty good.So no changes to it.
I love your tangrowth's moveset.It is pretty good.Another choice is to go with ancient power.It is more reliable and has a chance of raising all your stats.If you think your Hp is good, then stick to it.Other than that its great.
Good moveset and looks more offensive.So nothing to it.

MORRIS—The Board of Selectmen announced Tuesday that Homeland Towers will float a balloon Jan. 26 at the height a proposed telecommunication tower at the transfer station on Route 109. The balloon test will take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
First Selectman Barbara Bongiolatti said Wednesday the Planning and Zoning is requesting the company take pictures as well.
Homeland Towers approached officials last year with a request to lease a 5,000-square-foot space at the transfer station site, for a tower that would house equipment from wireless phone providers.
While the Connecticut Siting Council has sole jurisdiction on the location of new cell towers, in this case Morris voters get to decide because the proposal involves the leasing of municipal land.
No referendum date has been set for such a vote.
