Anything else?
Walked into a&e at 7:50am and shortly after I was booked in I was taken around to the minors section of the dept. I had really hurt my wrist and was in and still am in very bad pain, the Dr came immediately and sent me for an X-ray the member of staff who did my X-ray was lovely and took good care not to put my hand under any more stress or put me in any more pain. My results from X-ray came about 5 minutes later and the Dr came back to see me who said its possible I have broken my wrist but would need a specialist to look at it so he made me an appt for the following day and put my wrist in a splint. I was in and out within 1 hour and the staff were lovely. The doctor was very thorough and even took the time to explain my X-ray to me and why it's possible for some bones not to show up on an X-ray. Faultless

Reese's Lets Fans Pick the 'Perfect Play'
A partnership with NCAA gives one winner a shot at a cool million.
College basketball season could mean a big payday for one fan, thanks to a joint promotion between Hershey's Reese's brand and the Indianapolis-based National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) with a possible $1 million grand prize.
The "Perfect Play" promotion gives consumers the chance to vote for the top NCAA men's basketball play on a weekly basis while registering for a shot at making a half-court basket for $1 million during the 2012 NCAA Final Four Men's Basketball Championship.
In tandem with the promotion, Reese's will sponsor for the third straight year the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) College All-Star Game, a free event set for April 1 at Houston's Reliant Stadium. Additionally, for the first time, the brand will sponsor the Division II and Division III games. The Reese's College All-Star Game will air on truTV.
"What better way for fans to celebrate March Madness than by shooting for a chance at $1 million?" asked Anna Lingeris, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania-based Hershey Co.
Fans can go to www.reesesperfectplay.com to view weekly game highlights and vote for their Perfect Play. Each week, those who vote for the winning play will be entered for a chance to win the grand prize, with its potential $1 million payoff.
On the eve of Reese's College All-Star Game, the brand and the NCAA will team up with Kroger to host an event at Texas Children's Hospital. During the March 31 event, Reese's and the Cincinnati-based grocer, whose Southwest Division is the market share leader, will present a $10,000 donation to the hospital, and players and coaches participating in the next day's game will be available to sign autographs and spend time with patients.

Discussion in 'Osmo (Handheld Gimbal)' started by MCC, Oct 30, 2015.
Anyone else have drifting when Osmo is sitting still? Any solutions?
Same here. Did a calibration and it got better, but it's still there. Quite annoying.
Try turning off the advanced setting under gimbal
Yes, I tried all preset speed settings as well, and it still drifts. Much less so than when it was out of box but it still drifts.
Got my Osmo since Friday. Did not notice it while playing around, but indeed, when it is still on the table, it will veeerrryyyy slowly drift to the left. Did not check out all the settings yet, so gonna be looking into that now.
New Osmo firmware is out and supposed to help with drift for time laps. Hope it fixes it for all camera and video modes.
Just Upgraded to version 22.214.171.124+ and restarted the Osmo. After startup still some very slow drift to the left
Did a quick test timelapse. Still drifting!

Need a Good $180 rifle.
Have a bit of cash from my birthday today and was looking to see what my rifle options are. This will be my first rifle that I can call my own. I know I could get a good mosin and a nice chunk of ammo and I know that's a good option but is there anything else in within the price range worth looking at? Caliber doesn't really matter. It can be anything from 22lr to 30-06. I won't be able to hunt with it as my area is shotgun only. It will just be for the range and just something to add to my collection.
At that price range I would be looking for a 10/22. Sometimes you can find them on sale for about that. And ammo is dirt cheap.
i would go to some local gun shows. for that price you are pretty much limited to used guns. so bring a bore light and do your homework.
You could pick up a new Marlin 60 or 795 for less than $180. There are lots of used rifles in that range.
I would go to a couple of gun shows and pawn shops and just see if something caught my eye.
If you are wanting a centerfire rifle, the you could find a few mausers within that price range. Look at some of these https://www.samcoglobal.com/rifles-2010.html (I would watch out for that 1916 Spanish Mauser, It says it was rechambered for 7.62 NATO, but it also says it uses .308s. I would have it checked out to make sure it could handle .308. 7.62 and .308 are basically the same round, but .308 creates more pressure in the chamber) Personally, I would go with that yugo in 8mm. It's a little out of your price range, but not by much.
Really, you cant beat the Mosin for a gun in that price range. $180 will get you a Mosin ( this place has some nice 91/30s http://www.classicarms.us/firearms.htm) and 440 rounds of ammo. (http://www.copesdistributing.net/russian-762x54r-147gr-440rd-silver-p-4525.html) :D
Thanks for the help everyone. I am swinging by the gunshop this afternoon to see if anything catches my eye. And thanks for the links texas^.
What will you be singing? :D :p
Usually, I go surplus with those sort of budgets. You can never go wrong with something that has seen tides of war and built for men to defend their countries from hostiles. I seen a Turkish 1935 Mauser I was going to get for $189.00 from the surplus military shop not far from me.

January has the Golden Globes, February hosts the BAFTAs, and March is home to the Oscars. What better time than awards season to announce the first ever award for loom bracelet fanatics! And just in time for Easter too! This month, "loomers" from far and wide will submit their creations for a chance to become a Super Loomer in the 1st Annual Loomy Awards!
The what you just said, didn't you?
The Loomy Awards are sponsored by The Original Loom Boom, a first-of-its kind product intended to organize, display, transport and share your loom bracelet creations. Winners will be chosen from four categories: Best Bracelet, Coolest Charm, Wackiest Wearable, and Best Loom Boom.
Three winners will each receive a $250 gift card, and one grand prize winner will receive a $500 gift card! Plus, all winners will receive a special edition of The Original Loom Boom!
Entries can be submitted on The Original Loom Boom's Facebook page up until
2014, and winners will be announced on a live web award show April 30, 2014! So now there IS a reason for your kids to go NUTS about those itty bitty rubber bands (that no adult can seem to put together quickly, but that kids can put together and the speed of light///sigh).
But what is the Loom Boom, you're also asking yourself?
The Loom Boom has a bright-colored tube, that can hold up to 40 bracelets on it. The tube is also detachable from the base so loomers can transport and share, as well as have easy access to bracelets at the bottom. The base also contains extra storage compartments for loom bands, charms, clips, and other spare parts. AND you can load all your supplies into the tube and carry it with you on the go!a Rafflecopter giveaway
How the Loom Boom came about is really a great story for kids to learn from!
Like all loom-crazed households, rubber-band bracelets were taking over Katy & Lauren's houses. They loved the kids learning, dexterity and sense of accomplishment, but those band bracelets had nowhere to go except for stuck in the furniture or the dog's teeth (been there with the cat myself). Then ive-year-old Jake decided to place his ever-growing collection of bracelets on a paper towel roll! And Katy and Lauren did the proverbial head slap, and had a business idea. It didn't catch any one's interest until they brought it to Toys R Us, who immediately saw the need and future of the item, and got it into production! Isn't it amazing what kids can see and invent?
The Loom Boom is sold at Toys R Us, Learning Express, and Michael's stores nationwide,
as well as online.
But lucky you- one lucky BTHM reader is going to win their own Loom Boom, just in time for Summer, when all those rubber band bracelets will take over your house and yard yet again!
Miss Grace just got her first Loom for her birthday and we haven't much time to make bracelets yet, but she was thrilled to be able to have a holder for them! And since I just redid all her jewelry and assorted boxes and got everything organized, I love the fact that the bracelets will not be in the boxes tangling up with her good bracelets and necklaces! Such a simple item, but oh how needed it is! We love it- and it would be perfect for adding to the older child's Easter basket!
The Loom Boom is sold at Toys R Us, Learning Express, and Michael's stores nationwide,

The Big Boy Bike
The Boy has finally conquered the mystery of balancing on a bike without training wheels.
At the conclusion of his first really successful ride, he was so excited that he pumped the air with his fists.
It's easy to forget what a big deal a bike is when you're five.
The Big Boy Bike represents mobility, and a kind of coolness, and actual achievement. It took TB a while to get the hang of it. Last Fall our efforts were simply fruitless, as he wouldn't go more than a couple of feet without falling. The first couple of outings this spring didn't work, either. At one memorable moment, he actually went careening into the side of a building, doing quite a number on one finger. (This is the hazard of learning on a hill. But we found that when he started on a flat spot, he couldn't get enough power to get moving before losing his balance. Starting by going downhill took power out of the equation long enough to let him get the hang of the balance. Now he can start just fine on a flat part.)
Then, mysteriously, he got it. It clicked.
Now he rides circles and figure 8's in the school parking lot, and wants to go biking every night after dinner.
The world has changed since I was his age. We didn't know from helmets or knee pads. Bike accessories back then were basically two things: really high orange flags off the back wheel, and baseball cards for the spokes. I haven't seen one of those flags in decades, and now we have laws about helmets. And baseball cards are far too expensive and valuable to put in bicycle wheels.
(This was also around the time of Evel Knievel's heyday. Evel Knievel plus unhelmeted five-year-old boys with bikes equals big fun! Also, severe bodily harm.)
TB's favorite place to ride is next to a playground, so we can take The Girl with us. One of us watches TB, and the other watches The Girl. On a good night, we coordinate with the family of one of TB's friends, so TB has a kid to ride with and TG has one of her little friends to climb the jungle gym with. Good stuff.
TB is still small enough that the mobility only happens under our supervision, so I'm not conflicted about it yet. He's not biking across town, or asking for the car keys. (Even typing that sentence, I could feel my blood pressure rise.) At this point, he's just having a great time going faster than he could on foot. For a little while, we have the glorious luxury of vicariously enjoying his newfound abilities without worrying about their implications for his safety. I know the moment will pass. I just want to enjoy it for a little while first.
DD and I are the same age, although I needed different bike accessories than he did: streamers on the handlebars and lots of reflectors on the wheels. And a banana seat, with sparkles. Back then, you quickly learned not to ride your bike with serious bell-bottoms on, or with flip-flops. Some people learned it the easy way, some the hard way. :) And sure, I came home a few times with injuries that took several days to heal up.
However, I see some kids now, swaddled in their bike helmets and pads, riding in circles in the driveway because the street is too dangerous, and I feel deeply sorry for them. Not saying you're being that hyperprotective, DD. I just wonder if we have, in general, gone too far toward physical protection at the expense of fun.
Does anyone else remember riding in the way-back of a station wagon, in the "tail-gunner" position? The most coveted seats in the car, and ones that would immediately get Mom brought up on charges nowadays.
So now he's five, and it's me who is waffling. Really, we should just get on with it. The momentum from the hill is a good idea that I might steal!
And to the commenter before me - given my blue sparkly banana seat and rainbow streamers, I'd say we're in the same age demographic, and I clearly remember flipping over those high-rise handlebars and knocking myself unconscious on a curb when I was about 10. Thank god for the kindly stranger who picked me up and drove me home.
My kids aren't even allowed to sit on the seat of their bike (or trike) without a helmet. There are a lot of ways we tend to be more protective than our parents were, some better than others, but I think helmet laws are in the same category as car seat laws - a definite improvement.
So the helmet laws are not an unmixed blessing, but we use them as well.
So while the flags are not cool for kids, they are "standard issue" for bike trailers!
It did, however, keep my melon from getting dented when the bike landed on me. That would have hurt. So maybe not pads and stuff, but a helmet seems like a sensible middle ground.
Freak accident, but sad, really sad.

It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Heater Hose to repair your vehicle. Ford automobile drivers have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their Ranger around town. Obviously, you bought your Ranger because you wanted to buy horsepower and value both rolled up into one automobile. Anyone who drives a Ford knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do.
Before cars and trucks were built with the ability to cool their interiors, they had the ability to heat them. The engine of your Ford Ranger circulates liquid coolant throughout the block to absorb heat, and sends this liquid to the heater core (a small radiator) through a heater supply hose when you want to warm your vehicle's cabin. Ford Ranger heater hoses help cool the engine by supplying an alternative path for hot coolant to travel. The return heater hose will usually drop the coolant back into the water pump or a by-pass housing in your engine so it can go back to the radiator.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Ford Ranger part for your needs. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. All the Ford Ranger Heater Hose parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — With a little over a week to go before Tennessee's season opener, freshman tailback Marlin Lane lined up under the lights of Neyland Stadium during a mock game, ready to return the punt headed his way. The ball bounced out of his hands.
Coach Derek Dooley winced as he watched, reminded of the Volunteers' struggles fielding punts and kickoffs that caused him at one point during the 2010 season to wonder aloud if Tennessee had set a record for fumbles on returns.
"That was a part of the script," Dooley joked after the Aug. 24 mock game. "We script everything so we don't get a crazy reaction. It's actually his second drop of fall camp. Second out of a lot. I'll be thinking about it for the next 10 days."
Dooley put extra emphasis on punt and kickoff returns during this year's fall camp, though injuries have left him with a game-time decision on who will get the first shot at fielding them heading into Saturday's opener against Montana.
Six different Vols were responsible for eight fumbles on punts or kickoffs, either when the ball first touched their hands or at the end of a return. Four of the five muffed punts were lost to the other team, as was one of the three fumbled kickoffs. Dooley was so exasperated by November that he chose not to field anyone on some returns rather than risk another turnover.
Anthony Anderson ended the season as Tennessee's primary punt returner, but he had his own muffed punt that ended up in the hands of Vanderbilt's Dexter Daniels in the third quarter of a 24-10 Vols win on Nov. 20.
"If you touch the ball, you've got to catch it," Anderson said. "I told (Lane) he has his freebie. I had my freebie against Vanderbilt. I just made a bad decision. I told him to just stay focused and don't worry about dropping the ball. Worry about catching it. Don't think of a negative, think of a positive output. He was like, 'All right,' and rubbed it off and said, 'I ain't going to drop no more."
Dooley had hoped to rely on tailback Devrin Young, who returned punts throughout high school, but the freshman broke his collarbone at the beginning of August. Young began practicing with the special teams this week, but Dooley said the freshman is several weeks away from being able to be hit.
Another freshman tailback, Tom Smith, suffered a knee injury that limited him during the second half of fall camp, leaving Anderson, Lane and sophomore wide receiver Justin Hunter as the likely candidates to handle punt returns for the first few weeks of the season.
Anderson said the trio has spent a lot of time catching punts before and after practice and trying not to second-guess themselves after making mistakes.
"We're definitely consistent on catching the ball this year," the wide receiver said. "We've been working on catching the ball all year long. It's paying off because we're getting better confidence on judging the ball, especially the young guys."
Sophomore wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers and senior running back Tauren Poole are expected to handle kickoff return duties, thanks to both their size and speed.
"I always like a little heavier guy at kickoff return because these guys are coming at you full speed and you can take some big hits," Dooley said. "So they bring good size, they're good runners with the ball, and they're just good, dependable players. Da'Rick broke one last year against Kentucky, so he's showing some capability that he can spit one."
The one Rogers broke was a 78-yard kickoff return to open the game, but he also had his own "freebie" a few weeks later against North Carolina in the Music City Bowl when he coughed up the ball after a 21-yard kickoff return that was recovered by teammate Nigel Mitchel-Thornton.
That didn't damage his confidence, though.
"I love it. Open field. To me, it's just I'm back there in space, I'm fast and I'm big, I break tackles well, so I mean, I'm just going to get to running and see who can tackle me," Rogers said. "The only nerves I have is, 'Aw, man I've got to slow myself down from celebrating when I hit the end zone,' that's all it is."

(CBS) - Do you miss the 90's as much as I do? True, the Internet was still largely in its infancy (so you had no access to The Feed), but the music, style and culture... just way too cool for school!
Well, if you're in the mood to take a little trip down memory lane, check out this acapella version of numerous dance hits from that era and prepare to get your groove on.
An excellent compilation and performance of dance songs I used to (attempt to) dance to back in the day - and I hadn't heard Ace of Bass in forever!
The video was done by YouTube user "localvocaldk" who write about the fun project:
No instruments, just a capella - Danish acapella vocal group - specialising in nordic vocal soundtradition and paying our tribute to the 90's dance hits in our own a capella way. Play in HD and pump up the volume - everybody dance now!!
That last line reminds me of one song they didn't cover: C+C Music Factory's "Everybody Dance Now". Perhaps they can take a request and include that one in their next compilation?

The International Jury answered those questions, and then some America's Cup pundits did a text replace, substituting the names of Emirates Team NZ and Luna Rossa to determine whether their partnership was consistent with the hypothetical scenario proposed by Oracle Racing, and the boundaries constrained in the Jury Decision AC06. (That case and its decision were given the reference number of 'AC06' - being the sixth decision in this America's Cup cycle.)
Subsequently the Challenger of Record, Kungliga Svenska Segel Sällskapet (KSSS), through their team Artemis Racing, requested ' that the Jury review and retain the version of the ETNZ/Luna Rossa collaboration agreement which was summarized in the ETNZ November 26th submission relative to case AC06, as well as any amendments to such agreement.'
That request from KSSS came two weeks after the initial Jury Decision, on 28 December last year, in respect of Oracle Racing and 'Competitor B', in which Emirates Team NZ had provided a summarised copy of the partnership agreement, as part of their submissions in rest of the hypothetical competitor case AC06.
In the Hearing, presumably conducted like the others by an exchange of emails and phone calls, rather than a formal face to face meeting, Emirates Team NZ and Luna Rossa submitted the full agreement to the Jury, on the basis that it remained confidential to the Jury and would remain so for the duration of the 34th America's Cup.
The two teams also made a declaration that they were operating in accordance with the Agreement.
In its Decision the Jury, chaired by David Tillett (AUS), determined that their request had been met for a declaration from the two teams that there had been no Protocol Breach, by either team. And further that 'The Jury has no reason to believe there has been a breach.'
The Decision continued: ' The Jury is satisfied that provided the parties comply with the requirements of their Agreement with its Amendment, there would be no breach in the future as a result of the Agreement.'
A further request from Artemis Racing that the Jury should 'contain enough information so that other
Competitors can determine their own position regarding any cooperative sailing or design sharing' was denied.
The Jury felt that it had already given sufficient information in its Decisions on 'related cases' for Artemis Racing and others to be able to draw their own conclusions on cooperative sailing or design sharing, without additional interpretation by the Jury.
The only other point of interest in the Decision is the reference to the 'Agreement with its Amendment' - possibly implying that the original agreement between Luna Ross and Emirates Team New Zealand was amended to effectively preclude the sharing of telemetry between the two teams from their first two AC72's. (That Jury Decision was hard on the sharing of performance data between teams, which was taken to mean the sharing of telemetry, on which there is another view.)
The AC72's will be sailed in the 34th America's Cup, and are set down for launch in July and September this year. Sharing of telemetry would have provided a useful basis for Emirates Team NZ to carry into aspects of their second boat (given that it would have commenced construction in that time).
For both teams the sharing of telemetry would have provided information which could have led to boat modification, and certainly wingsail and softsail development, as well as foil performance. As it stands such collaborative work will be constrained to working up against each other on the basis of observation only, with each team allowed to do its own data gathering on the other.
In another Decision, Team China were given the all clear to sailing in the Extreme Sailing Series without infringing the rules governing sailing in a Surrogate boat - or one that is longer than the 33ft permitted - the Extreme 40's used in this series exceed this length by 7ft.

President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Tony Abbott discussed the need to continue addressing the "threat" posed by Islamic State terrorists in Iraq during a phone call on Tuesday.
The White House has issued a statement in which it says President Obama "thanked" Mr Abbott for Australia's contributions to humanitarian air drops and deliveries of weapons to the Peshmergas in northern Iraq.
"The two leaders discussed the need to continue addressing both the ongoing humanitarian situation as well as the threat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) Poses to Iraq and the broader region," said the statement.
The President said the US would continue to "co-ordinate closely" with Australia on ISIL and other national security priorities.
Prime Minister Abbott welcomed President Obama's "measured and careful response" to the events in Iraq and praised his "efforts to marshal an effective international response".
Mr Obama did not make any "specific request" for Australian military support, he said.
Their discussion is ahead of President Obama's speech on Wednesday in which he will outline Washington's strategy for dealing with ISIL.
The United States is yet to ask Australia for any specific military assistance such as air strikes. The government has ruled out combat troops on the ground but Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop has said Australia will consider a "proportional role for Australia" if she is satisfied any mission has a "clearly defined set of objectives" and a "realistic timeframe".
That could include Australia providing military "trainers and advisers" but Ms Bishop told the ABC that ideally, "it would be best fo the Iraqi security forces to defend the country" against the "murderous band of terrorists".
The minister said she expects the Arab state will join an international effort to "disrupt and degrade and contain ISIL".

Most Helpful Girl
As a Muslim , I believe in his miraculous birth by Virgin Mary (Mariam), one of the purest women to ever walk on earth.
He is a prophet, one of the biggest and most important prophets. He's not God nor the son of God. He performed many miracles. He never died, he was raised to heaven by god and he's still alive (The only prophet who's still alive) and he will come back at the end of the world ( Al Massih) to save Humanity. His enemies were fooled , it was one of his disciples who was crucified instead of Jesus.52|30|0
Interesting take. I believe he's god but it's more based on faith and how I was raised I suppose.

Lily Tomlin Ups the Ante in Her Effort to Move Jenny the Elephant Out of the Dallas Zoo
Been a while since we've heard from Lily Tomlin, easily the most famous faces among the concerned citizens for Jenny who refuse to lose their battle to move the elephant to the sanctuary in Tennessee. The city's steadfast refusal to pack the elephant's trunks has Tomlin mighty miffed today in a lengthy posting to her Women on the Web page. She's getting awfully political up in this joint -- look out, city council, or she'll do to you what she done to David O. Russell. An excerpt:
In today's hard times, one must question the economic sense of keeping Jenny at the Dallas Zoo, when she could retire at no cost to the city to the peace and safety of the sanctuary. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to just maintain a single elephant in a zoo. The City of Dallas plans to spend $30 million alone to build a controversial 3.75 elephant exhibit to house up to five elephants, which critics contend will still be woefully inadequate to meeting Jenny's needs. And, all the while, thousands of people in Dallas are losing their jobs and homes, causing the tax base to inevitably shrink. Many want the City of Dallas to retire Jenny to TES and direct that money into much-needed civic services.
Let Jenny go to the Sanctuary. Let her welfare come before the profits of a zoo. City and zoo officials in Dallas have shown only their own political self-interest and complete inurement to Jenny's plight; yet, activists in Dallas are not giving up on retiring Jenny to a better life.
Please continue to phone and e-mail the Dallas City Council and the Dallas Mayor, Tom Leppert. If you have friends and family in Dallas, urge them to bring Jenny up to the candidates running in opposition to incumbents in the May, 2009, City Council election.

Rosy-fingered dawn! Do you know how long it's been since I woke up to natural light? [ETA, per Amanda's and Cordelia's comments, that I do not get up particularly early at all (by objective standards. By my own standards, anything before 9 is early). This sunrise was approx 7:15 this morning.]
So that's exciting. Also exciting? The Amazing Race is back! And I do mean BACK--no stupid families, excellent challenges, and HELICOPTERS. And the nerdiest little couple with whom I am totally in love. Happy happy happy. Plus, the season premire was 2 hours long, so that meant lots of knitting time.
Pomatomus? Frogged. Wyvern? Well underway. Thanks for the suggestion, Olga! I have to say, I don't like the pattern itself nearly as much as Pomatomus--I miss the pop of the twisted sitches--but it is not crippling my hands, which makes it a winner in my book. And as Olga wisely observed, fish? Dragons? Both scaly.
(Note that the Wyvern reposes on a stack of blue books. Which remained ungraded while I watched TAR and knitted. Priorities, mes amis, priorities.)

PWP is developing a community solar program that will provide Pasadena customers the opportunity to harness the power of the sun, whether you rent or own your home. The solar power will be produced by one or more centrally located solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays. PWP will identify the location and construct the array. Some details, including pricing, are yet to be determined since we are in the early development stages of this program.
As a customer, you will be able to participate by subscribing to one or more panels in the Community Solar PV array. Similar to purchasing or leasing your own solar system – there will be a cost to participate in the pilot program. When you join, the clean solar power generated by your portion of the Community Solar PV project will be credited back to you on your regular PWP bill. This program will make the benefits of clean, green solar power more widely available.PWP is exploring several different models – customers may be able to sign up for either a monthly subscription or pay an upfront cost. In either case, customers would receive a bill credit for their participation in the Community Solar PV pilot project.
Community solar programs are expanding rapidly around the country. In 2015, the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) estimated there were nearly 70 programs across the U.S. with more being introduced each month.
Community solar programs provide an easy and affordable way to meet a portion of your electric needs with clean, renewable energy. However, building a local solar system in Pasadena does cost more than traditional energy sources. As a result, participating in the community solar program will likely increase your monthly electric bill. Pricing information and program details are still in development and yet to be determined. Who will be eligible?
This pilot program will focus on residential customers that are interested in, but unable to install solar PV panels on their residence. You'll need to be a PWP residential customer in good standing that has not installed solar on your home. Will the energy generated go directly to my home?
No. The energy generated by the Community Solar PV array will go directly to PWP's power distribution grid. PWP Community Solar participants will see a monetary credit on their utility bill that is based on their share of the system's energy production. Will this program reduce my electric bills?
No. This program is not intended to reduce customers' electric bills. Rather, it offers an easy, affordable option to meet a portion of your electric needs with clean solar energy. If I move, can I keep my subscription?
Yes. One of the main advantages of community solar programs versus installing solar on your own rooftop is that subscriptions can be portable. We are working to provide this flexibility to PWP community solar participants, allowing subscribers to maintain their participation as long as they relocate to a new residence within PWP's service territory.
For questions or comments on this new pilot project, please email firstname.lastname@example.com

Made This Icing - Duff Goldman - ? About It Under Fondant
Decorating By dberck Updated 29 Jul 2009 , 1:39pm by candy177
I thought I would try a new icing recipe the ingredients are:
10 egg whites
15 ounces of sugar
2.5 pounds of butter
I made it last night...it is very creamy and, of course, buttery..just wondering if anyone has any idea how this would hold up under fondant. I usually use the crusting buttercream recipe I found on here.
Sounds like an SMBC to me, it's what I use, just not sure of the measurements and your method used, but the ingredients are standard SMBC. Under fondant is wonderful. I chill my cakes very firmly before putting the fondant on.
Actually, it's the same as IMBC as well.
Thanks Jamie...my icing has never been that silky smooth before! Just wanted to make sure the fondant wasn't going to slide right off!
That BC recipe is the ONLY one I use! It's amazing and works very well under fondant. Just chill the cake well first.

There is a wide gap between what developers offer under affordable housing and what buyers aspire for and can afford, leading to a disconnect in the housing sector.
A new R2,500-crore housing project from Pune-based Naiknavare Developers looks to bridge this gap.
Naiknavare was among the early entrants in the affordable housing segment with its Bharat Pattern Township Dwarka in 2011 in Pune. The company has sold 2,000 homes in Pune till date.
According to Hemant Naiknavare, director, Naiknavare Developers the company aspired to sell 5,000 homes but fell shot. But in the process the company has learned how to build affordable homes, how to price them and also address the funding issues confronting buyers.
Naiknavare Developers has thus relaunched the Dwarka Township project and plans to build 8,000 homes in the next six to eight years.
In the first phase the company will launch 3,000 flats. The project have been re-engineered and re-sized. The space has been reduced by around 20% to 434 sq ft.
One BHK homes will cost R14.50 lakh and 756 sq ft 2BHK will start from R25 lakh. On the financing front the company has introduced an options of zero per cent down payment, a monthly payment plan and 0% Pre-EMI.

Brett Stewart trains with Manly ahead of clash with Rabbitohs in NRL preliminary final
Brett Stewart has given the strongest indication yet he will play in Friday night's NRL preliminary final after taking part in Manly's first training session of the week on Tuesday.
While Anthony Watmough watched on as he rested his injured knee, Stewart ran at three-quarter pace through a series of running drills with the remainder of the squad.
Manly coach Geoff Toovey said before training the club was confident Stewart has recovered sufficiently from a hamstring injury to be able to play this week.
"It's one of those things like last week, if he's not right he's not right but we're fairly confident he'll be okay," Toovey said.
While replacement Peta Hiku has been tremendous at the back during Stewart's absence, the Sea Eagles backline has not look as threatening in attack without the prolific number one.
Asked about Stewart's desire to play in the sudden-death encounter against South Sydney, Toovey said his motivation is not the problem.
"He was really eager last week as well but that doesn't help the fact that he's got that problem, if he's not right he's not right."
"We're hoping he is (right), we've got a couple of training sessions this week and hopefully he'll get through them and be right to play."
"The bloke who filled in for him, Peta Hiku, has done a great job but Brett Stewart's been in and out in these situations quite often in previous years.
"We're pretty sure and confident, the quality player that he is he'll bounce back and fit straight in."
Toovey indicated he would give Stewart right up until game day to prove his fitness, as he did ahead of last week's game against Cronulla.
Back-rower Watmough is considered certain to play despite aggravating his knee injury against the Sharks.

In 2009, David Pakman started "The David Pakman Show" on YouTube to talk progressive politics. Over the years, his audience grew, as did his earnings. Today he has about 365,000 followers who watch enough ads to fund his show.
At least, they did. But when YouTube started expanding protections for advertisers to keep their ads from showing up alongside controversial content, the money dried up. By the end of March, Pakman says he saw a 96 percent drop in ad revenue compared to what he was making on average during the six previous months. About a month later, things bounced back, but not by much—nowadays, Pakman makes just a little more than one-third of what he used to on his channel. ("If you're seeing fluctuations in your revenue over the next few weeks, it may be because we're fine tuning our ads systems to address these concerns," a YouTube community manager post from March says. The post also gives YouTubers instructions on how to submit an appeal to YouTube if they think their videos lost ad revenue by mistake.)
But there could be another way. When Pakman saw his first big drop in revenue, he set up a crowdfunding page on Patreon, which let his fans pledge a small monthly fee to support the show. Pakman said this added revenue stream helped cover the costs of paying his small staff and kept the show afloat when YouTube's ad revenue dried up.
He's not the only one to find a lifeline thanks to this newfangled way of supporting one of the world's oldest business models—people paying you directly for the work that you do. This week, Patreon announced that, since launching in 2013, 1 million fans have signed on to pay internet "creators" like Pakman every month to keep on producing stuff online. That's double the 500,000 active patrons the platform said it had last year. Patreon says it's also doubled the number of creators on the site in the past year to 50,000. Together, they stand to make $150 million in 2017—a pretty sharp feat considering Patreon earlier this year said it had paid a total of $100 million since it was founded.
Finding new ways for enterprising creative types to make money online is great. But where Patreon and the YouTube ad debacle meet, a more existential question simmers: What's the best way to foster a better web? Maybe fishing for more clicks and more eyeballs watching more ads isn't the way. Patreon's CEO doesn't think so.
"There's a difference between what people will consume and what they will pay for," says Jack Conte, who co-founded the site as a way to support his own music videos on YouTube. "People consume incendiary content like candy. They'll click on that shit all day, honestly. But will they pay ten dollars for it? Nah. People won't open their wallets for that fleeting, emotional burst."
In other words, the incentive structure of the free web might encourage one type of content that differs dramatically from the kind incentivized by the paid web. The former rewards volume of attention while the latter depends on depth of interest and engagement. Which makes for a compelling proposition: Maybe subscriptions aren't just a way for YouTubers and other content creators to make money—maybe it's a way to improve the quality of the web.
Disappearing Ad Revenue
On YouTube, many creators are scurrying to figure out how to cope with ad revenue drying up, especially if their work delves into riskier subject matter. People who make easily categorizable, wholesome content for YouTube—woodworking, educational videos, and beauty, for example—have seen their earnings rebound to normal levels, according to Hank Green, a popular YouTuber and advisor to the Internet Creators Guild, which has been tracking the fluctuations in YouTube ad revenue. But video makers who deal in more potentially controversial areas, like gaming, sex, and politics, haven't seen the same recovery. And that, Green says, hits smaller creators the hardest. "As you grow, revenue streams diversify," Green says. "So smaller creators are more at risk, and smaller creators who make certain kinds of content have been hit very hard."
All of which Conte says argues for a business model built around subscribers or patrons. The ad-supported web, he says, involves the four parties, each with their own interests: creators, fans, advertisers, and platforms. Paring that equation down to three variables by cutting advertisers out of the mix makes creators' jobs simpler, aligning the interests of fans and creators more directly.
"You don't have to deal with any of those restrictions or guidelines that brands might place on what they consider 'advertising-friendly content,'" Conte says. When creators don't have that worry, they can focus on the work itself instead of whether or not the stuff they make is monetizable in the eyes of ad buyers.
Still, fans are used to getting things for free online (or "free," considering they typically pay in the form of watching ads and often by allowing platforms to gather and share data on their habits and preferences). But Green believes attitudes are changing. For one, as much as audiences don't like paying for things, they also don't like internet advertising. "It's ignored, it's blocked, people don't like it," he says. Younger users without disposable incomes—high school and college students in particular, may put up with the lousiness of those ads. But people in their 20s and 30s, as they become more financially stable, have the potential to fund a revitalization of subscription content, Green says. "That's true everywhere from The New York Times to Patreon."
Patreon doesn't solve every problem. But it's well positioned to help boost better content online because it rewards creators' ability to stir passion and interest among their audiences. Subscriptions aren't the best business model for everyone—creators still have to do the work to get enough people to reach into their wallets. But once they do, they certainly can help. Pakman says that between his current YouTube ad revenue and his Patreon subscribers, he won't have to shut down his channel, though his expansion plans are on hold. What's more, he says he wouldn't likely switch over to an all-subscription model. Making his videos and podcasts free, he says, is the easiest way to spread the word. But once people find out and do convert to subscriptions, they offer a way for creators to diversify. Instead of having to depend on the whims of advertisers, subscriptions give them a way to depend on themselves.

Feel like switching to a different OB office
How many of you moms have switched to a different OB or OB office and how many times have you switched in one pregnancy? And why did you switch? Were you satisfied with the switch?
My first pregnancy and I'm on my 3rd OB. I had to switch providers the first time due to me moving 2 hours away. The 2nd switch because my OB didn't deliver at the hospital I preferred AND because she made biased comments about inducing me at 40 weeks due to the typical condition of placenta for someone my age.
Tonight I'm thinking I don't care for the on call OB who I've interacted with twice now. I could tell she was annoyed that I called again, 2 days in a row, about the swelling in my hands and feet. Her response "You are reading too much internet." I replied, "No, I'm being proactive and I want to know WHY I'm more swollen today than yesterday when it wasn't as hot out and I'm drinking more water." She saids, "It was still hot just not sunny." Me: whatever...seriously...
I appreciate providers who welcome the research that I do because I want to find answers. I just hope I don't have her for labor and delivery if my OB is assisting another patient. This would suck as I don't care for this OB I talked with.
as a back up, I'm going to call the other OB clinic and see if that other OB I could've gone with is still available as a back up OB should the conversation with my current OB not go so well....
I've been to the hospital to get a fetal check, and I'm aware now of the option to go if I notice anything peculiar with baby. I don't really know my OB doctor, but the few interactions I've had with her are neutral.

Alexi Littrell hasn't told anyone what happened to her over the summer. Ashamed and embarrassed, she hides in her closet and compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt more than the inside does.
At school, nobody sees the scratches or her pain. The only person she connects with is the mysterious Captain Lyric, who writes song lyrics on her fourth-period desk for her to complete. With pencil marks and music, Alexi carves out a comfortable space for herself as she and the Captain finish each other's songs - words on a desk feel safer than words spoken aloud.
But when Bodee Lennox, the quiet and awkward boy next door, comes to live with the Littrells, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend who understands her better than anyone. He has secrets of his own and knows all about suffering in silence. As they lean on each other for support, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her find the courage to finally speak up.
With her powerful, moving debut novel, author Courtney C. Stevens emerges as an extraordinary new talent to watch.

Powerful story and performance
- The Reading Date
It May Have More Truth Than You Can Handles
Whether you realize it or not, you probably know someone who was sexually assaulted as a teenager or young adult. I know more than one such person and have witnessed, without quite understanding, the gripping agony such an event can cause. This book takes you into that painful place with such power that you may find it difficult to read, as I did, if you or anyone close to you has lived with the aftermath of an assault of this type.
It tells the story of a teenage girl, struggling with the normal stresses of school, grades, fitting in with her social circle, dealing with the hateful outbursts of a sibling, and desperately seeking a place where she can feel safe, secure, and loved. At the same time, she cannot ask for help from anyone, because she is convinced that the burden she carries is her own fault. Her self loathing leads to isolation and self harm, all while wearing her game face with her friends and family. Even as they recognize something is wrong, none of them could guess why and believe her excuses. Only the patient intervention of a similarly tortured soul helps break down her barriers.
The plot itself could be ordinary, but the delivery is what gives this book it's power. Courtney Stevens has built a masterful narrative that draws the reader into the psyche of her main character with amazing power, and she leaves you haunted with her nightmares. Emma Gavin is the perfect narrator for this novel, and it is worth listening to for her performance alone. As a fan of Gavin's other performances, I believe this is among her best.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever wondered about the inner workings of the mind of someone who has lost her virginity to an assailant, or anyone ready to be swept into that place. A warning: if you have lived through such a trauma, I don't know whether you will find this book cathartic or simply unbearable. I am sure the author intends the former, but she may have done too good of a job here.

Every year in the United States, 1,000 people die accidentally while practicing a dangerous form of masturbation called Autoerotic Asphyxiation. Countless more die from AEA, but their deaths are covered up by family members who stage them to look like suicides. The video above provides strong evidence that the late comedian Robin Williams was one of these individuals.
Shortly after the news of Robin Williams' death shocked the world, Mr. Conservative brought you the controversial report regarding his involvement with AEA. Many scoffed at this idea, but it is beginning to look more and more likely that the comedian's third wife, Susan Schneider, helped to stage his death as a suicide after she found that her husband had died during AEA.
To many who followed Williams' death closely, the timeline of events did not add up. Reportedly, he was last seen by Schneider at around 10pm the night before he was found dead by his assistant. When medical professionals showed up to his residence and pronounced Williams dead at around noon, rigor mortis had already set in. This suggests that he had already been dead between 12 and sixteen hours. It is highly unlikely that such acute rigor mortis would have taken affect if Williams had in fact killed himself after 10pm the night before. What is much more likely, is that Schneider discovered her husband dead due to AEA, and then subsequently staged his death, allowing his assistant to find him.
(Read More: Man from Alcoholics Anonymous Reveals Truths About Robin Williams)
Several YouTube users appear to agree with the notion that Williams died accidentally due to complications with AEA. Michael Alvarado wrote:
"The problem is that there are easier ways of hanging ones's self if that is what he was trying to accomplish. The way he died is all too similar to the way people who participate in AEA do it. So unless he wanted to hang himself with the chance to escape, then most of the evidence points to AEA as the most logical explanation for the circumstances. "
Another YouTube user, only identified as ZombieTex, commented:
"Okay, that's a very interesting theory. All things considered, it makes at least as much sense as a suicide. He didn't leave a note. He wasn't hanging, He was just sitting in a char leaning away from the door jam to cause constriction around his neck. I've never heard of anyone who was actually trying to kill themselves by sitting down in a chair and leaning against the pull of a belt. I'll have to wait a while before I make up my mind as to what I believe."
Williams was not the first actor to allegedly engage in AEA. David Carradine died from AEA in 2011 and none of his friends or family was around to cover up his behavior when he was found in a Thai hotel. Thus, his dirty laundry was made public.
Are you starting to see some holes in the narrative that Robin Williams committed suicide as a result of prolonged depression and anxiety? Indeed, he was a man who loved his children deeply and had everything to live for. It's hard to imagine that he decided to throw it all away. Give us your take on this in the comments section.

Alissa sings for Kuwaiti charity
Lebanese singer Alissa is scheduled to hold a charity concert in Kuwait, from which proceeds will go directly to the San Jude Foundation. Presently, Alissa is in Tunisia for a performance at the Abu Nawas hotel, and will then head to Cairo at the end of the month to hold a live concert at the Cairo Opera House, to be broadcast by Infinity television and Egypt's local television network.
According to the London based Elaph, Rotana music channel will continue to air her new clip "Hubbak Waja" (Your Love is Painful), the third from her latest album. The clip for the tremendously popular song was filmed in a mansion in one of Lebanon's elite suburbs, and filming lasted for three days.
Alissa's manager is holding negotiations for her performance at the Jordanian annual summer festival in Jarrash, Jordan and the Carthage Festival in Tunisia.
After a successful partnership that lasted for years, Alissa and composer/music distributor Jan Marie have separated, Alissa's latest release "Ahla Dunia" (The Perfect World) as their last collaboration. Sources reveal that the separation came as a result of differences of opinion between the two. The singer has already begun sessions with different composers as part of her preparations for her upcoming album, as well as beginning her search for a new music distributor.

What do guys like and dislike about a girls body?
Most Helpful Guy
Things I like
1. A girl to have a genuine smile.
2. Some make up and some perfume. However, over doing the make up and perfume is a turn off.
3. Hair that goes just past her shoulders and for her to wear it out.
4. The pear shaped body figure. So I like her widest at her hips but not huge, a medium sized bust and a reassembly skinny waist.
5. Medium sized boobs. I don't like boobs that are too big and don't like ones that are fake. Natural is best.
6. Nice tight legs and ass in tight jeans and tight faux leather pants. The perfect size for me is an American size 4 to 6.
7. Also girls that have legs and asses like how I describe that sway them as they walk past me.
Things I don't like
1. Girls that smoke, can't stand it. Sorry if you're a smoker?
2. Girls that have false and fake smiles.
3. Girls that wear too much make up or perfume.
4. Girls that dress to revealing. It makes me think they are trouble.00|00|0
However, no matter how good looking the girl is it is "GOODBYE" if she has a poor attitude or treats me badly. I don't stay with a girl that has a poor attitude and treats me badly just because she is super good looking. I have too much respect for myself.

In the USA Over 20% of Foods Labeled "Gluten-free" Could Contain Too Much Gluten

Celiac.com 12/05/2014 - To remain healthy, people with serious gluten intolerance, especially people with celiac disease, must avoid foods containing gluten from wheat, barley, and rye. Accordingly, gluten detection is of high interest for the food safety of celiac patients.
The FDA recently approved guidelines mandating that all products labeled as "gluten-free" contain less than 20ppm (20mg/kg) of gluten, but just how do products labeled as "gluten-free" actually measure up to this standard?
Researchers H.J. Lee, Z. Anderson, and D. Ryu recently set outto assess the concentrations of gluten in foods labeled "gluten free" available in the United States. For their study, they collected seventy-eight samples of foods labeled "gluten-free," and analyzed the samples using a gliadin competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. They then calculated gluten content based on the assumption of the same ratio between gliadin and glutenin, testing gluten levels down to 10ppm (10mg/kg).
They found that forty-eight (61.5%) of the 78 samples labeled gluten-free contained less than 10ppm (10 mg/kg) gluten. Another 14 (17.9%) of the 78 samples contained less than 20ppm (20mg/kg) gluten, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Codex Alimentarius for gluten-free labeling.
However, 16 samples, over 20%, contained gluten levels above 20 mg/kg, ranging from 20.3 to as high as 60.3 mg/kg. Breakfast cereal was the main culprit, with five of eight breakfast cereal samples showing gluten contents above 20ppm (20 mg/kg).
The study does not name specific brands tested, nor do they indicate whether tested brands are themselves monitored by independent labs. Still, the results, while generally encouraging, show that more progress is needed to make sure that all products labeled as "gluten-free" meet the FDA guidelines. Until that time, it's a matter of "caveat emptor," or "buyer beware," for consumers of gluten-free foods.

The article that you used to write your article doesn't help us celiacs much if they don't tell us which brands were tested and give us their scores. It actually makes it worse, because now we are left to worry that SOME brands can hurt us, but they won't tell us which ones even though they know!
If they are giving us food containing 3 times the gluten that they say, then why not share your info?

Yes, naming brands would certainly be helpful for people with celiac disease. However, the researchers likely omitted that information to avoid potential legal issues with the companies whose products they tested.

Thanks for this article. Not a shock, but disturbing none the less. It would be helpful to know which of the products tested were labeled with the "certified gluten free" label/symbol versus just labeled as "gluten free" or just "contains no gluten ingredients". I'm always on the lookout for items that say they were manufactured in a facility that also processes items containing wheat. But I know that doesn't necessarily rule out facilities that process oats, barley, rye, spelt, etc. Label reading is the best thing we can do and we have to out so much trust. I wish there would be a simple, inexpensive home test to test foods ourselves (in addition to proper labeling). Maybe some day.

If a gluten FREE product "contains less than 20 ppm" of gluten then how is it "gluten FREE"?? A person with celiac disease is INTOLERANT of ANY gluten no matter the measure of ppms!! I am a celiac patient and I have recently tried some "Gluten Free" crackers. It was after I felt a little rumbly in my tummy (signs of a gluten attack) I read the ingredients on the side panel of the box. It was much to my surprise that it contained less than 20 ppms of gluten!! WHAT??!!! PLUS, it was manufactured on equipment that also processes WHEAT!! So it's not gluten FREE is it?? I am appalled that the FDA will allow for a company to label a product "GLUTEN FREE" when in fact it is NOT!! Needless to say, I became ill after consuming the "gluten free" crackers. Thanks a lot FDA and thanks to the company (I won't name them) for selling me a "gluten free" cracker and charging me as such!! This has to be stopped!!

The fact is that the vast majority of people with celiac disease do not react to gluten levels below 20ppm. Also, the test currently used to test products are not sensitive enough to give accurate results below 20ppm, and they become less accurate the closer to zero they get. Taken together, these are a significant part of why the standard is set at 20ppm. Lastly, the FDA standard is the same as the European standard.

I've had gluten reactions to rice cakes labeled gluten free. I found out from the company, that all of their rice cakes are processed on the same lines. Some of the varieties contain ingredients derived from food crops that are likely to be cross-contaminated during growing, harvest, storage, processing, etc. My complaints to the company were ignored.

I have suffered celiac for years. I missed my pizza, bread and pasta. But now I can have the real stuff. Sourdough bread (the starter fermented over 3 days) White flour from Italy and pasta from Italy. I can eat all this with no ill effect. Yeah!!! The longer the fermentation the less gluten in the sourdough. So give it a try, and good luck

Unfortunately they're not required to label it as such if there's less than 20 ppm. It's very likely the majority of celiacs are unknowingly glutened quite frequently. Even going to basic ingredients and nothing processed is a risk if you eat meat when the meat market puts everything next to each other behind the glass when a plain cut of meat is stored right next to a questionably seasoned one, or worse in the fish section where breaded fish and crab cakes are right beside non breaded ones. Not to mention with meat and fish markets we don't know what surfaces were used to prepare what on and if they were fully cleaned between gluten items and non gluten items and you can be sure it is extremely rare to find a place with dedicated gluten free work surfaces and tools. I tend to check labels to be sure it doesn't say "Processed on shared equipment or in a shared facility", but I don't think they're required to put that on their label even, so it's still a risk.

Kilogram? Who eats a kilogram of anything, at least at one sitting. Gluten per 100 grams is realistic, as that is 3 ½ ounces, a reasonable serving.
Let's turn this into beer, say Omission, a gluten-reduced beer through enzyme process. At 20 parts per million for a 355 milliliter bottle of the stuff, one would be ingesting 7 milligrams of gluten. Omission posts its test results for every batch, and it's been significantly below this when I've looked, but still, I got sick about three slugs into the second bottle.
Check my arithmetic, please.
For any 3 ⅓ oz serving of supposedly gluten-free comestible, one may be getting a 7 milligram dose of gluten, big enough to send you to the toilet.

I agree with the above comments about not telling us what cereal!
I know I have bought Walmart's gluten free version of Hamburger Helper and it gave me a gluten reaction.
Interestingly, Wegman's pulled some of their gluten free products after the FDA standard came out.
I don't think the FDA standard has helped those of use with celiac!

It is difficult but it can be done. If you have eaten a "Gluten Free" labeled product, go to the FDA website, dig until you find the form and NAME the Company. I am sorry that it has come to this. Progress? They are leaving it up to us to get sick before they will investigate. SO, REPORT the companies that are calling their products "Gluten Free."

I think we are quite naive about assuming that there are scientists in white coats out there checking the food we eat. I'm sure companies that produce foods are largely left to their own consciences, and rarely get actually checked by government officials...especially all the little companies, or those who can afford to pay off the officials... no one is baby sitting our food for us. It is up to us to choose cook and eat what is good for us. Even if a label says something is gluten free, how do you know that particular batch didn't have something different in it, maybe they were low on an ingredient and high on production pressure...maybe they substituted a little here and there... who would know the difference. I for the most part buy single ingredient foods, a piece of meat, a potato, some veggies and eat that. If we want meat that is safe, we need to buy local meat from a farmer and butcher we can shake hands with and talk to, someone in our community who lives up to their promises. If we buy food from mass producers whose motivation is to earn money, we should expect to be disappointing in their integrity a percentage of the time.
