The restaurant was chilly, prices were high for the dish. The food was ok but not impressed with the quality (ex. caesar salad consisted of romaine lettuce and shredded cheese).
Heard iffy reviews on this chain but Bedford was extremely helpful and I had a wonderful experience! The chicken bryan with goat chz & sun dried tomatoes was incredible!!!
Sounds crazy but if you bring in your cooked gf pasta they will use it in your meal!
1217 North Battlefield Blvd, Chesapeake, VA 23320
I eat here regularly and the staff is usually very knowledgeable. I have had pasta added to my soup that had to be sent back but then the manager made sure everything was correct. They continue to make me shrimp scampi even though it isn't on the menu. I've never tried there pasta
9 North 3rd Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250
Not much variety, everything can be ordered "without the sauce." No GF pasta option.
2575 Maryland Road, Willow Grove, PA 19090
My mom had been here more time than myself, and had gotten sick afterwards. We both have celiac. I went with her recently and we both got sick afterwards. The place wasn't busy and we explained to the waiter our intolerance and he brought bread for the table. After our meal he suggested a brownie for all of us to share. We were like seriously? My mom emailed the manager and he wasn't very nice or apologetic. We won't be going back.

I guess we didn't look at the menu close enough.... Food was good but nothing Gluten free with pasta. Thought we were going to an Italian restaurant......
675 Troy Schenectady Rd., Latham, NY 12110
I've been here a few times over the years, and I'm always impressed by the food. Had a very good steak with mushroom sauce from gluten free menu, along with a minestrone appetizer. Wasn't aware of the non-GF grill as mentioned by another reviewer - but I've never gotten sick from any grilled dish. Then again, I'm not as sensitive as other people. I suppose you can always ask them to clean a grill area first?
12192 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, VA 20190
Great experiences and staff are pretty knowledgable plus they have a dedicated GF menu,
12507 I-10 West, San Antonio, TX 78230
Delicious food and knowledgeable staff. Everything on the gluten free menu is wonderful!!!
12957 Cortez Blvd., Brooksville, FL 34613
Sever put in the wrong item and gave me chicken Parmesan. She didn't know the gluten free menu.
200 US Hwy Route 22 West, Green Brook, NJ 08812
Be aware of what you eat here if you have ciliac, watch out for the chicken soup, the soup is cook without noodles and the noodles are added when you order but for some reason most of the time I ask for it gluten free (no noodles) they always mess up and there is noodles in my soup, they have the noodles container right next to the soup container and they drop noodles in there all the time, one time I found one noodle in my soup, one day I found one noodle with my steak sauce, I always look thru it before I start eating it.
11021 E 71st Street, Tulsa, OK 74133
They have a GF menu and the food is great. The only downside is that they have no GF pasta. They do have 2 soup choices and 2 dessert choices.
4650 Route 42, Turnersville, NJ 08012
I have Celiac Disease and have eaten there often. Never had a problem and the food is good.
18375 W. Bluemound Road, Brookfield, WI 53045-2920
Amazing and the staff is very knowledgable as well!!
6540 W. Saginaw Hwy, Lansing, MI 48917
Decent gf menu- lots of flavor
4802 Valley View Blvd. NW, Roanoke, VA 24012
Larger menu for gluten free than most chain restaurants.
2471 Park Avenue, Easton, PA 18045
Food is great and gluten-free friendly but I so wish they had pasta.
10562 US Highway 98 W, Sandestin, FL 32550
I have celiac. Asked for the GF menu. The waitress noticed the menu before I could even say anything about preparation. She went to ask about a drink I wanted to ensure which were GF. When my salad was brought out, the server said, "Here is the GF salad." We had the best experience! The food was fantastic! I highly recommend eating here!
44695 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
This place made me sick both times I was there.
16431 Governors Bridge Road, Bowie, MD 20716
The manager and servers at this location are awesome! They only know a little, but the little they do know is important, and they aren't afraid to ask to find out! They even asked me how I would like them to prepare my entree so I could feel more comfortable. My family enjoyed a great meal here!
617 S. Hurstbourne Parkway, Louisville, KY 40222
Limited choices on GF menu. Staff not well trained. Just be careful. Ask for a manager. .
7620 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, FL 32940
They recently changed there grill base to all gluten free. I love their chicken Bryan. Its very good.
44695 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
Sick the last 3 times I went to this location. Not for someone with allergy or celiac.
11450 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23235
I ate here with my husband and daughter last weekend and had a great experience. our waiter was very knowledgeable about celiac and very patient with my questions. great meal too.
7275 Corporate Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA 70809
Very good and large menu!
3913 River Place Drive, Macon, GA 31210
Sirloin Marsala was good, although the smallest piece of beef I have ever seen. Issue was with the waiter, who did not hear my husband correctly and brought him the same dish as me, in spite of him clearly saying he wanted LASAGNA!! Ah well, gluten free for him today, too!!
49 US Highway 41, Schereville, IN 46375
Great food choices. They would have gotten 5 stars if they had GF bread!
9 North 3rd Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250
Large GF menu Servers are GF knowledgeable Good food good prices Update their gluten-free menu is even more vast and Delicious than before to include gluten-free pasta!
801 Providence Rd., Brandon, FL 33511
Chicken Bryan is really good. Staff has seemed knowledgeable.
10586 Metcalf Lane, Overland Park, KS 66212
We went there & I ordered off the gluten free menu. I started eating and had a small beetle crawl out from under my food. Gross! Never going back!
3409 North Rock Road, Wichita, KS 67226
They have a nice GF Menu with great entree options. I enjoyed the service and awareness of diet restrictions. I will definitely be going back soon to try more.
1001 Sandlake Rd., Orlando, FL 32809
ordered Mediterranean salad with salmon cooked on wood. grilled lemon half was a nice touch. very good salad.
370 Columbiana Drive, Columbia, SC 29212
I had an Italian salad, told the server I had a severe gluten allergy and still got sick. She assured me that the salad was fine but I had a very bad reaction.
2370 SW College Road, Ocala, FL 34474
Very extensive gluten free menu plus the servers are always very careful about allergies and letting the kitchen know to take care. Plus the food is amazing!
6803 North Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Croutons in my GF salad and an Italian dinner roll piled on top of my take out meal. would not recommend because the kitchen staff clearly have no idea what gluten free means.
8460 Lyra Dr., Columbus, OH 43240
Gluten free menu but portion size and quality for price is lacking. Service not as good as it used to be. Will go back in a pinch.
3200 High Point Road, Greensboro, NC 27407
very small portions. no GF pasta available
12728 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, MD 21842
This place does understand food allergies. they dont offer gluten free alternative foods, like, breads pasta or pizza. they have a gf menu with delicious italian foods. They prepared the food well. my son, 10 with Celiac, ordered the filet with green beans and no sauce. He liked it. He was disappointed not tobe able to get a gf pizza.
7890 W. Irlo Bronson Hwy., Kissimmee, FL 34747
We were here while vacationing in FL. Our celiac son ordered a gluten free chicken entree. When it came out, there was pasta on his plate. (Not a whole serving, just a couple stray pieces.) We called a server over and they dealt with it appropriately. They took it back to the kitchen and eventually brought him a new dish. We were fairly sure they didn't just remove the pasta from the same plate because it took them a while, presumably to re-make it. They also took his dish off the bill and gave him a free dessert. The manager came to our table and apologized multiple times. He had no adverse reaction to the meal. Overall, they handled it appropriately but could have been a different experience if our son hadn't noticed the pasta.
2471 Park Avenue, Easton, PA 18045
They don't have much gf that is also veg (that is why I rated 3 stars), but I always get tomato mozz salad and minestrone soup. I get it there a lot. Always tasty, never been glutened.
11450 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23235
The service was terrible. Food was tasteless. And it was so loud I couldn't hear anything the person sitting next to me said. I would not recommend at all. Also not good gf options.
6042 U.S. Highway 441 N., The Villages, FL 32159
Great service and food was excellent!
6540 W. Saginaw Hwy, Lansing, MI 48917
Walking in the door I was told all the GF menus were accidentally thrown away. Our server was knowledgeless about any GF options. The web address that this app provides does not work. Once I did locate their GF menu I was very disappointed in the options provided. If I wanted meat & veggies I would have gone to Outback next door.
1160 Ernest Barrett Pkwy., Kennesaw, GA 30144
DO NOT EAT HERE!! Went last night with my boyfriend and was so excited because they have a gluten free menu. Was going through checking items and asking the server my usual questions, because since I also can't have soy I have to double check everything, and he finally just brought me the allergen list from the kitchen because he wasn't sure of much - which is fine because he was great and very accommodating. But then as I'm looking through this list I see that 99% of their items in general contain wheat and soy. When my boyfriend went to tell the the manager this and asked for clarification, the manager argued with him and when I tried to point out that everything on my supposedly gluten free menu contained wheat and soy he walked away while I was mid sentence. I was already in the process of eating a caprese salad during this time (which I still thought was fine) but by the time we left I knew something was wrong because I started having serious stomach pain and progressively have been getting sicker. I want to know who the idiot is who made a gluten free menu that apparently everything has wheat (and soy) in it because if I had not gotten the allergen list I would never have known.... Don't eat there!
6803 North Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
The Chicken Marsalis was excellent as was the Minestrone soup. Staff needs a little more training with the gf menu. But in her defense, when she was not sure, she asked. Would recommend.
9920 West McDowell Rd, Avondale, AZ 85392
Kudos to Carrabbas for a real gluten free menu that wasn't filled with dairy ladden options. We use to be regulars till I was diagnosed with celiacs. There staff is knowledgeable about gluten and even delivered my salad by saying "we have a gluten free salad". Usually they show up with croutons. Thanks Carrabbas.
3921 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33140
The wait staff was knowledgeable about gluten and very attentive. There is a separate gluten free menu which always makes me feel more comfortable. My one criticism is that they don't carry gluten free pasta or bread.
25665 I-45 N. Hwy., Woodlands, TX 77380
There are quite a few choices and the food is excellent
6560 Strip Avenue NW, Canton, OH 44720
We had a great meal!
5555 Whittlesey Boulevard, Columbus, GA 31909
The staff here are well trained. I have eaten at this location twice and have never had any issues. I told them that I would get CC from shared grill space, and they cleaned a section for me.
1881 Plaudit Place, Lexington, KY 40509
The waiter wasn't at all knowledgable about Celiac or gluten. When I asked about how the grill items were prepared he assured me that he spoke directly to the chef and that no gluten would come in contact with my food. Contrary to what the gluten free menu stated. He insisted that all grill items were prepared with rice flour grill baste and were gluten free. Against my better judgement I ordered from the grill menu hoping that what he said was true. However, I had a reaction to something I consumed. I'm very disappointed.
1999 N. Congress Ave., Boynton Beach, FL 33426
Very happy with the gluten free menu here. Eat here all the time and never have had a problem. Feel very safe and food is delicious.

It was a case of so close but yet so far for Jenson Button as he just missed out on a podium at the British Grand Prix.
In 14 previous starts Button failed to finish in the top three at Silverstone, but he did the hard work in qualifying on Saturday and started the 2014 edition third on the grid.
His McLaren was up to second during the opening few laps, but he eventually slipped back and although he pushed hard in the end, he finished fourth behind race winner Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes, Valtteri Bottas of Williams and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
Another lap or so, though, and he may well have finished on the podium as the gap between to Ricciardo was the narrowest of margins at the end of the race.
"0.8 seconds [behind Ricciardo] is not a lot. I gave it my all. It's difficult when the race engineer says give it your all but you have to save fuel too," he told BBC Sport.
"But it's not so bad finishing fourth so we should be pleased. It's a step forward and we should enjoy the points.
"I did not make it difficult for Lewis. You have to be careful in that situation or you'd lose time.
"I said before if I did not win I hoped it would be Lewis. I'm just disappointed I was not up there with him."

"Great Idea!"

1. What is Slurry Seal? Slurry seal is a petroleum-based emulsion product, mixed with fine aggregate rock, blended on-site in a large truck, and then applied evenly across the entire surface of an asphalt street. A slurry seal is typically 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch thick. 2. What does it do?Slurry Seal provides a new protective surface to an existing asphalt street. By sealing the street, the base of the road is protected from water damage and the surface is protected from weathering. 3. How are streets identified for Slurry Seal? Using our Pavement Management System, we select streets that fall within a condition range best suited for treatment. Each street is visited to verify the condition. Some streets are at a level of deterioration requiring more extensive and costly repairs, such as an asphalt overlay. Our goal is to protect good street surfaces early on with a slurry, postponing costly overlays for several years.
4. How much does Slurry Seal cost?At an estimated cost of approximately $1.30 per square yard (compared to $9.00+ per square yard for an overlay) a slurry seal can extend the serviceable life of a residential street for five to seven years.
5. What will be done to prepare the streets for Slurry Seal? Crews will be trimming trees, removing any brush or vegetation, sealing cracks and patching street defects prior to the actual slurry seal. These activities may require numerous visits to your street due to the specialized nature of each repair method. This work can be dusty and noisy. 6. How will this affect access to my street?During the slurry seal application, access to your street will be interrupted for a maximum of 6 hours, one day only, unless the contractor is delayed due to equipment failures, weather-related problems, or other unforeseen reasons. If your street is not sealed as scheduled, it will be added toward the end of the list and you will be re-notified 48 hours in advance of the contractor returning and sealing your street.
7. How will this affect the mail and other services? It should not affect these services significantly. The Post Office, Police, Fire, Cherriots, garbage, etc., will be notified of the schedule so reasonable accommodations may be made. Garbage companies generally change their routes to pick up early morning on effected streets. 8. After receiving the County notification about work on my street, will they let me know before they actually start work? Yes, the slurry contractor is required to give notice prior to starting work.9. Why are small rocks collecting along the edge of my street? This is a normal short-term occurrence after slurry has been applied. A small percentage of rock does not adhere completely and eventually becomes loose. As cars travel the street, these small rocks are swept to the edge. Our street sweepers will clean up the rocks as they progress along their residential sweeping routes.10. Will I be able to get in or out of my driveway while they are working? No traffic will be allowed after the slurry has been placed and is drying. You will need to plan ahead and park on another street if you are planning on coming and going during the drying time. The slurry generally takes 3 hours to dry but may take up to 6 hours depending on temperature, cloud cover, humidity and wind conditions. 11. What specific date will my street be closed?Specific dates are set by the contractor and not known until after the preconstruction conference. Dates can be changed due to weather. If work has to be rescheduled, you will be given 48 hours advance notice. For the most up to date information, click here.
12. Where can I learn more about slurry? Go to http://www.slurry.org/
13. Who do I contact with questions and concerns about the project? Spencer Hohenshelt, Engineering Technician with Marion County Public Works (503) 588-5036. Email: email@example.com

- people in the U.S. have this name View Rodney Besonen on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Originally a transferred use of the surname, but in independent use as a given name since the 18th century, when it was bestowed in honour of Admiral Lord Rodney (1719–92), who defeated the French navy in 1759–60. The surname probably derives ultimately from a place name, but the location and etymology of this are uncertain. Stoke Rodney in Somerset is named for the family: the manor was held by Richard de Rodene in the early 14th century. Rodden in Somerset was Reddene in Domesday Book; this may be the source of the surname.

Soundgarden debuts new music
What a way to end 2014. What a way to kick off 2015.
Back in late October, and fresh off reuniting the grunge supergroup Temple of the Dog at Bridge School, Soundgarden had another massive surprise for fans. It debuted a new track called "Storm," which was posted to the band's YouTube account with hooplah and no other details. Soon after we learned that the track was part of the group's long-time-coming collection dubbed "Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path." It arrived November 24 with three discs of B-sides, cover songs, Peel sessions, remixes and seven previously unreleased tracks, including "Storm."
"As album sets go, this one has been fun to collect and compile over the decades," guitarist Kim Thayil said in a statement. "I personally may have referenced this project a number of times over the years, going back almost 20 of them to the mid-Nineties!"
As it turns out, the new track "Storm" is actually the fossil of the album and has a history with the band going back nearly 30 years. It was a song demoed back in the mid-Eighties but never fully completed... until now.
Recently Soundgarden's Chris Cornell took part in a Mad Season Reunion Show also featuring Guns N Roses and Alice in Chains members. Cornell also recently announced that he has started recording for his new solo studio album. It will be his first solo effort since 2009's "Scream."
Soundgarden Headed to Israel (Updated 1/2/2014)
What a way to start 2014.
Amid controversy that has flared over calls for cultural boycotts against Israel, Soundgarden has been booked to play in June at a rock festival in Tel Aviv (this according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz). Also on the bill are the Pixies, one of the most popular alternative rock bands in Israel during the 1990s. (They were last scheduled to perform in country in 2010, but that gig was canceled in the wake of a clash between Israeli navy commandos and Turkish peace activists).
Soundgarden, which reunited in 2010, booked the upcoming show following a few successful solo performances in Israel by Chris Cornell. But it's not the only date on their calendar so far in 2014. The band has also announced a March 27 concert date at the Explanada del Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. Two days later they'll stop at Lollapalooza Chile, and will play a series of shows across Germany in June.
One guy who won't be part of the trip is Matt Cameron. The drummer announced back in November he would be taking 2014 off from Soundgarden due to prior commitments promoting "Lighting Bolt" with Pearl Jam. Cameron also cited his desire to spend more time at home with his family, while balancing "the many twists and turns of my awesome music career." He has been sure to note, however, that he is still an active member of the band and is working with the other members to find the perfect substitute for the upcoming Soundgarden dates in 2014.
Soundgarden back together again (Updated December 26, 2012)
In its heyday, the music of Soundgarden resisted classification. Compared to the blues-rock of Led Zeppelin and the slow riffs of Black Sabbath, the band also had a guitar-driven sound and became the first grunge band to sign with a major record label. But of all the bands on the so-called grunge scene in the early 1990s – including Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam – Soundgarden remained one of the hardest to label.
Originally formed in Seattle, Washington in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, Soundgarden mired in relative obscurity through a number of key personnel changes. Among them was the arrival of bassist Ben Shepherd, who replaced Jason Everman and was credited for bringing a fresh and creative approach to the band's recording sessions. Combined with his knowledge of music and writing skills, he helped to redefine the band in time for the release of its third album in 1991. The result, "Badmotorfinger," helped Soundgarden court a more mainstream metal audience.
Riding a new wave of success, Soundgarden finally achieved worldwide success in 1994 with the album "Superunknown." It was driven by the single "Spoonman," "The Day I Tried to Live," "Black Hole Sun," "MyWave" and "Fell on Black Days." The project won the band two Grammy Awards in 1995; "Black Hole Sun" for Best Hard Rock Performance and "Spoonman" for Best Metal Performance.
Following a world tour in support of "Superunknown," the band members began working on what would be their last studio album for over 15 years. They disbanded on April 9, 1997 and wouldn't reunite until January 2010, announcing the end of the 12-year break on Twitter. The following year they began recording a new album that would be called "King Animal." It bowed to positive reviews, strong first-week sales and secured a top 10 debut. It also spurred a brief North American tour, with more dates to come in 2013.
Soundgarden to Play Special 'Superunknown' Show in NYC Followed by Summer Tour with NIN
Grunge rock icons Soundgarden will play a special show featuring a setlist of their entire seminal album Superunknown at Webster Hall in New York on June 2. The show will be similar to the one they performed at SXSW in March (although long-time drummer Matt Cameron will be able to join them on stage) and…Read more

If I Want to become a Scientist what should I do ?
I am currently in class 10. I want to become a scientist in Physics Sector. What should I do after 10th. Some people say that do IIT and AIEEE some say do plain B.Sc and then M.Sc and ultimately P.Hd. But I am a lot confused between these options. Most of my interests are in Astronomy, General Physics and Computers. I am currently in India. Please Help.. Suggest the options available in India! Please make your answer as clear it could be. Thank You !!
Closing Statement from Amrut Deshmukh
Thanks ..... Everybody for your kind and helpful replies .....
James Turner
Sep 4 2011: A scientist can be a frame of mind. May I suggest you learn the scientific method and then start applying it where you can day by day. In the end you can add knowledge through school, home study, on line study, TED and other groups that will help spark ideas, thoughts, inventions, and directions that you can take. You may be a scientist that never takes a college course but does scientific work on your own and develops a product, company, organization that impacts the world and makes a huge impact for all of us on this earth. It will not be easy nor will it be fast and it may never make you wealthy but if it is your field it will satisfy your soul. Best of living to youSep 7 2011: Whatever you study doesn't matter , only thing needed to be a scientist is an ever curious mind and actions to resolve those curiosity through reasoning and experimentation................Sep 2 2011: Great to hear that Amrut!
- +6
Don't know about places in India, though they have tons of good institutes I heard.
You can dig into a lot of websites to learn a lot about science already.
http://www.khanacademy.org/ is probably one of the most useful.
And try and do experiments! find out the speed of light and sound
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/clifford_stoll_on_everything.html is a great talk to get inspiration (I watched it at least 5 times ... I absolutely love that talk!).
Go and observe meteorites with your local astronomy organisation, so you can triangulate it's origin with others (for example).
Or make a robot!
Anayway, a lot of things you can do just to dig further into your interest, and you could probably imagine a lot of things yourself...
Sep 2 2011: Ya Thanks for your valuable response ! I have heard about KHAN ACADEMY. I will surely try it out. I have done many experiments and projects related to physical Sciences. Watch it here www.amrutdeshmukh.webs.com .
and about the TED Talk its awesome. Its all correct you told but I want to know that what else I can do further in my career. What can i do after 10th ? .. Again Thanks for you reply !
Sep 2 2011: Amrut...
10th... what does that mean? (School systems are different across the globe... Belgium has kindergarten, pre-school (3 years), primary school (6 years), and secondary school (6 years). After which the bachelors (3 years) and masters (1 or more years) follow. And then Phd, More masters and what have you not)
So what can you do: probably go to further science education, no? I probably can't help you on the precise choice as I don't know the difference between the different systems you have.
Nor do I have sufficient data about where your passion lies most (be it theoretical, applied, value of the acquired degree, reasons to chose for the one or the other,...)
Sep 2 2011: The system here is such that there is Kindergarten (2 years), Class 1st - 10th (1 year each), 11th and 12th junior College (1 year each) and ultimately Senior college (4-6 Years) after that we can do whatever we want like P.Hd and etc. !!! to know more about my interests http://amrutsciwiz.blogspot.com/2011/08/amrut-deshmukh.html watch my photos and their captions.Sep 3 2011: just make a list of the options you still think are valid, assign numbers to it, and let the dice decide!
(If the outcome gives you a bad feeling about the decision: eliminate that from the list and repeat the process)Sep 8 2011: If, hopefully, you get into a US college, I guess you'll work out what to study as you'll have considerable flexibility in studying.
If, unfortunately, you don't get into US or Hong Kong or Australia(on scholarships, don't be a burden on your family if they can't afford you) then apply in India.
Now we have entered the realm of '3 Idiots(for the people outside sub-continent, it's an epic movie highlighting the problems of South Asian,or global, education).
I hope that be the end of your 12th year, you would have decided whether you want to do science or engineering. Whatever you want to do, go for it. In India and Pakistan, one thing they say is that if you want o do science(Physics,math,chem,Bio) you could always do it after engineering. In the case of Physics, people will gove a lot of examples of people doing Electrical engineering and then switching to physics. They say that one must have a professionla degree as to secure a job. Although I am a student and amateur myself, I am against this dogma. Do physics if you want ot become a scientisti. DO engineering if you decide to do engineering. I hope that by the end of 12 year you would know which way to go. I guess it would be science, as it is more 'pure, thought-oriented' as compared to the 'commercialised engineering'(no offence). This is the reason I ask you to study more than just the school teaches you, so that you can find the subject that resonates with you.
Assuming that you go for Physics in India, you do a four year degree(it can be a 2 year BSc + a 2 year MSc or it could be a 4 year BS or it could be a 5 year integrated MSc) Don't worry about the terminologies. You just have to study a 4 year course(which you can also do in three years if you work harder). After that you get to do research i.e. a PhD. A strong foundation in undergraduate physics will prepare you for research work. After your PhD, you could do further research as a post-doctoral researcher, or combine research with teaching.

Sep 2 2011: I liked your reply a lot but want the suggestion that whether I should do B.Sc and M.Sc in physics or IIT and AIEEE and all sort of engineering ! Which one will be more profitable for me ?Sep 8 2011: Or you could simply be a professor(which would not distance you from research) and contribute to uplifting the educational standards of South Asia specifically. Or you could craft your own unique way to help the world. Who knows, I would be watching your TED Talk in the 'best of the web' section 20,or maybe 10,or maybe 60, years from now.
Regarding which universities to go to in India, I don't know much(except for the fact that the entrance exam IIT-JEE is quite tough). I would refer you to a friend of mine on facebook. Please ask him your queries about IIT and AIEE. Find him at http://www.facebook.com/sahal.kaushik
Try applying to LUMS Scholl of Science and Engineering in Lahore, Pakistan. It's a great school, and no one would eat you, I promise.
Lastly, I saw the website created by/for you. Just one last piece of advice,don't develop a love for accolades.
I am eagerly waiting for your thoughts on my comments.
Best Wishes for you. Remember me in your prayers.Sep 8 2011: I can tell easily that you're well above average a student.
And I guess your interest is in Physics. For that I would say that apply for the Indian Physics Olympiad. It would boost your thinking skills with witty problems that will literally stretch your mind. Also apply for the Asian Science Camp 2012 and 2013. If selected, you'll get a chance to learn first-hand from Nobel Laureates in the Natural Sciences.
By the START of your 12th i.e.final year, you should have average knowledge(advanced in some topics, but overall you must have scanned the whole course) and have thought over the 12th year Physics and Mathematics. Every individual has his own pace of studying. Schools tend to fasten the slow and slow the fast. There's nothing wrong with going slow. But it's wrong to be slow if you can go fast. You should, through self study, finish the course by the end of 11th year. In the 12th year, think deeper, solve problems e.t.c and apply to universities.
These are not hard and fast rules, these are guidlines set under the experiences of a fresh graduate of the South Asian education system(which is,btw, very versatile in itself) I hope that your convivtion to pursue Physics will strengthen during these years, but never hesitate to love another subject if its love pervades you.
Finally, I would recommend you to apply to US for undergraduate studies. The US universities and colleges(in the US, college is used synnymously with university) Admissions are tough, but not impossible. Work hard and give it a try. The US universities will surely help you achieve your dreams. For South Asians, it's good to start working on US admissions in the 11th year of school. Do not be afraid. It's just fun if you have ample time. Contact your school counsellor(if you have one) for inquiries about US admissions or go to http://www.usief.org.in/index.aspx.
(to be continued)Sep 8 2011: I feel a lot of similarity with you. I am starting my undergraduate studies this fall in a Mathematics degree (if my parents agree and don't push me into Electrical Engineering). I did not get financial aid for an excellent Physics program in Pakistan so I decided to pursue Mathematics(that's the closest to Physics I can get). I, maybe partially like you, am a perfect score, Physics Olymiader blah blah. I am aspiring to be a Theoretical Physicist. I'm just 18. But I did not get into the university of my choice(MIT, joking) I am narrating all this to convey to you that life is unpredictable. Still unpredictabler are the University admissions(specially undergraduate admissions). Listen to James Watson's talk on how he discovered DNA. He was rejected by Caltech graduate school.
But the main thing is perseverance. No matter where you go, follow your passion, work really, really, really, really(no need to stress further) hard, and work even harder on developing the creative, individual attitude and way of looking. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. That's all you can do for the long term.
For the short term(next 2-3 years), you could do the following:
1) Get good grades in all subjects, specially sciences, at school.
2) Think. Never stop questioning and discussing with your teachers and peers. Never be afraid to make stupid guesses and dumb explanations of questions. Always ask why is this topic the way it is? Delve as much deep as you can. You would find that there are some topics/subjects that you can think about easily( think and study them further)
3) I like your projects. Similarly explore further any topic in the sciences that interests you(e.g genetics, applications of calculus, entropy in physics, rates of reactions e.t.c) I would recommend Halliday Resnick for Physics study. Consult some experts for university level books on bio,chem and math also that you can use as a reference.
(To be continued)Sep 5 2011: Hi my friend
just one point that I have learnt from my masters
!! never think that you know all things and know more than other and try to learn ,even from usual people !!Sep 2 2011: The best way is by doing a PhD in your field of interest. This requires you to do a BSc but not necessarily a Masters.
Sep 2 2011: Ohh ! Thanks a lot ! Can you clear your ideas more deeply ! What do you think about IIT's and all sort of engineering sectors ? Please do reply ..!
Sep 2 2011: I am not sure what IIT stands for.Sep 23 2011: You should pursue core science degrees (BSc, MSc and hopefully, a PhD) at IISc. This will help you maintain focus on physics. Engineering is an applied science; where research is not the first priority
I believe IIT-JEE is the entrance test for IISc (Not sure though, you should confirm this)
If not IISc, you can join IITs/NITs/BITS for Engineering, but the onus is on you to be close to research and eventually become a scientist.Sep 8 2011: Hi
It feels good to see an aspiring scientist from India(Asia needs those).
Best wishes for your life and your passion.Sep 7 2011: Study science at school: Maths, chemistry, physics and biology. That's the first step. Options later are pretty wide and you don't have to worry about them yet. Start reading in your area of interest. If you can read enough you will work out where you should be before you need to apply. It helps if you can also work out what you have an aptitude for... as sometimes what we want and what we're good at are not the same thing. However despite that just because you're not good at something shouldn't deter you from doing it if you're passionate enough.Sep 3 2011: IIT of course.
Sep 4 2011: thats actually not so true !! i m an iitian you dont actually become a scientist here even if you r determined you end up tangled in all the fun things you just live the present
Sep 8 2011: WOW thats a news.. IITans have fun :) ok ....... lolz... I don't trust your word I have seen people from BITs, IIT, REC all the same grade :| ... what do u guys think? just kidding but with one serious note have some fun guys.. its good..Sep 5 2011: Yeah IITans they are real bunch of people whom I would'nt want to meet in my life time. Workaholics, walking talking references, calculators. A person who is to be an IITan could be easily be found even while they were babies, it will be obvious by just looking at them.. Always thinking something, I wonder what they think so much. I tried and went blank for a whole day.. :)
Sep 8 2011: the iitians are work aholics true no point denying i dont even get 5 hrs to slp nightout is general fact the pt is you dont becom a scientist you may become artist a ngo worker a nrmal guy (with high pay) a Enterprise starter but nt a scientist the life here is so much fun u just cnt go on doing one stuff. i m in 2nd year i manage the project dba in kgp, in the fine arts society, in game theory society , do a lot of designing and video editing, and i love startups. i love sketching. product design.hardware modeling. opensoft.i cnt do a single thing no iitian can just stuck to the course or studies is idiotic !!Sep 8 2011: and second i m a bio major wanted to be a CA i wanted to do bcom and have gf peace walla life and i have is i m in iit doing everything other than engg wich i m supposed to do. i love photography. i have dslr. we just enjoy dude. WE ENJOY WAT WE DO !!
Sep 9 2011: liked just for ur last statement..Sep 2 2011: Study hard. I'm not sure how exactly India's academic system works, but here you go to "elementary school"(9years)/some equivalent of high school(4years) then B. Sc, M.Sc and Ph.D. If you are really interested in those 3 things (plus mathemathics) pure physics study is probably the right area for you to be in :) As Matthieu Miossec mentioned M.Sc is not always neccesary (here gifted students above certain average can skip to Ph.D directly). Edwin Jose Palathinkal gave you very good proposition!Sep 2 2011: I am glad people as young as you have this passion to further studies. Regardless, when you become a scientist, be a good one. It may take time for Ph.D. but the most important thing not to lose is a global motive to change the world for good. Enjoy!

For every five hours taxpayers pay Montgomery County employees, those employees actually work only about four, according to a study released Tuesday.
And for every 11 regular hours logged by county workers, taxpayers pay them, on average, one hour of overtime.
Montgomery County Council's Office of Legislative Oversight studied employee work hours and leave, and found that on average, county executive branch employees are available to work only 81 percent of the time they could work in a year. For the remaining 19 percent, they are on leave.
Councilman Philip M. Andrews said the amount of leave taken by employees is concerning.
Each employee accrues 298 to 441 hours of paid leave a year, depending on how long they have been with the county. Those do not include extra leave available through the Family and Medical Leave Act, disability leave, parental leave, administrative leave, compensatory leave, holiday leave, military leave, religious leave and leave without pay.
Montgomery provides more leave to new employees compared to other local jurisdictions, but as years of service increase, it comes into line with other jurisdictions, the report noted.
Yet, leave abuse in Montgomery is infrequent, according to the report, suggesting that most of the leave taken is earned or authorized.
The report's authors found that in fiscal year 2012, only 25 employees were reprimanded in writing for abusing leave. Those who abuse leave tend to abuse sick leave and FMLA, according to the report.
The report tracked leave for about 6,800 employees who worked full time with the county's executive branch between January 2011 and July 2012.
In a given year, those full-time executive branch employees take about 2.7 million hours of leave, of which their accrued leave accounts for the lion's share, according to the report.
Those same employees also logged about one million hours of overtime, at an estimated cost to the county of more than $63.2 million.
The Office of Legislative Oversight noted in its opening line of the report the relationship between the total hours an employee works and overtime, as well as the total number of employees the county needs to provide services to residents.
On average, employees are working 11 regular hours on the job for every hour of overtime.
But for the county Fire and Rescue Service, employees are working only six regular hours for every hour of overtime and employees of the Department of Transportation are only working eight regular hours.
Researchers also found that some county employees combine leave and overtime, earning both in the same pay period. For example, employees could schedule leave one week and still work overtime in the same pay period.
For those employees who worked less than half their regular hours in the same pay period, the county paid about 132,000 hours of overtime between January 2011 and June 2012.
Some employees worked no regular hours in a pay period yet earned overtime, accounting for 5,000 overtime hours paid.
About 84 percent of county workers earn overtime.
Researchers found that about 260 employees earned more than 1,000 hours of overtime from January 2011 to June 2012.
Most of the county's overtime is paid to employees in the county's general employees union, United Food and Commercial Workers/Municipal and County Government Employees Organization Local 1994.
However, the workers taking the most leave and earning the most overtime work for the county's Fire and Rescue Service, represented by the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1664.
Andrews said the report raises questions about proposed pay increases for MCGEO and IAFF employees starting in fiscal year 2014, pay increases he has criticized.
The County Council requested that OLO study work hours and leave in part to better understand how leave policies affect costs.
New three-year contracts agreed to with the unions would provide some MCGEO employees as much as 13.5 percent pay raises in two years, and some IAFF employees with 19.5 percent increases in the same period, said Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg.
How much leave county employees take is a concern, but the county also needs to understand how much additional costs in overtime will be associated with these pay increases, he said.
OLO recommended the county have its Office of Human Resources manage leave more and have the executive branch report biannually to the council on leave and attendance.
The office also recommended the council consider if there is a reasonable number of regular hours that employees should work before they are eligible to work overtime.
While the 196-page report is exhaustive, its authors recommended the county hire a consultant to do an even deeper study of leave and absences.

The importance of an early learning experience is that playing is school readiness.
Environments that encourage play are environments that are preparing children for a love of life long learning. This is like a house with a strong foundation. The foundation supports the house of higher learning. Without a foundation, we have no strong house.
Seven things we must do with children each day are:
- Create – in dramatic play, art, discovery, blocks
- Move – takes in new information and uses both the inside and outside environment
- Sing – words and stories with your senses
- Discuss – communication, social skills, the need to be with others
- Observe – incorporating all of the senses (smell, touch, taste, see and hear)
- Read – read, read, read with variety
- Play – is the cement that holds our foundation together
These statements are taken from a presentation from Lisa Murphy, the ooey gooey lady and her workshop The Importance of Play.

Frank Kohler, a Tall Timbers resident who was one of the 12 people killed in Monday's shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, was remembered the next day for his service to a civic organization that included taking part in St. Mary's annual oyster festival.
Kohler, 50, at one time served as president of the Rotary Club of Lexington Park, and continued his involvement in its range of projects including participating in the Christmas in April program to make repairs to needy people's homes.
"He always stepped up to it, whatever the club needed," according to Dave Taylor, a former administrator of the oyster festival. Taylor said that Kohler, who worked at Lockheed Martin Corp.'s branch in Wildewood, would make sure that the club had the county license, club members and product from a beer distributor to provide the beverage at the event held each October at the county fairgrounds.
"He made sure we had workers at the various stands, ... and made sure everything was going to be there and run smoothly," Taylor said.
Kohler "had a good time doing it," current club President Jack Pappas said of his predecessor's participation in the festival, including its fundraising element to further Rotary's worldwide charitable involvement and local efforts including scholarships, donations to nonprofit groups and its own outreach to aid people in developing countries.
"It was the camaraderie, and to put in helping the community," Pappas said of Kohler's delight in working on the festival.
When word got out of Kohler's death, Pappas said, "It was really a shock to the club, and it rippled up and down Rotary."
Merl Evans lives next door to the Kohlers in Tall Timbers. He said, "You get up and you wave at him in the morning. You don't expect a person you see every day to be shot and killed the next day."
He said Kohler and his wife, Michelle, had two daughters.
"These incidents, we sort of have gotten to the point, you lower the flag, you feel bad, you move on … and then something else happens. It is a senseless, senseless thing," Evans said.
At a joint meeting between the St. Mary's County commissioners and Patuxent River Naval Air Station officials Tuesday, Commission President Jack Russell (D) said, "Today's a very sad day in our community, a very trying time."
Capt. Benjamin Shevchuk, commanding officer of Pax River said, "We are with these families in spirit, who are grieving. Our Navy and our nation has had our sense of security shaken once again."

Midwest Living Review
Situated on the Red River just south of Fargo's downtown district, Lindenwood's location is a huge part of what makes it unique. The park sat outside city limits when it was established in 1912, and the heavily wooded oasis still thrives despite expansion that's grown up around it during the past century.
The grounds hold 46 campsites ($27 per night with water and electricity); reservations are recommended but not required. Fire pits and picnic tables are provided; although no outside firewood is allowed, campers can purchase it on-site. The information center also carries a small inventory of personal items and concessions. For recreation, bike rentals are available ($10 and up per hour), including basic two-wheelers, tandems and three-wheelers. Recreational trails connect to a larger network, including a bridge to Gooseberry Park in Moorhead, and there are also softball fields, day-use shelters and two playgrounds for the kiddos.
Motorhomes with bathrooms should request camp area B for additional space and river views. Camp area A offers proximity to newer bathrooms with showers. Tenters can camp in the grass along the Red River, but should be prepared to walk a bit to access the more modern restrooms. Registered campers are also welcome to fish in the river provided they have a North Dakota fishing license.

Its a great small 110v machine. I paid around $1200.00 new in 2001 and have used it hard since then with no problems. I weld up to 1/8 steel with it, any thicker and you just do not have enough heat. It will not reliably feed aluminum or have enough power to run a spool gun. For sheet metal and light tubing it is the best machine I have used. Miller replaced it with the 140 also a good machine but has not been as bomb proof as the 130.
MM130 is a nice unit.............If you paid $1200, I am sorryNick

In case you're not up on prices, I think they have come down. I'm sure pthunberg's $1200 is accurate. But, I bought a new MM180 from a local shop for under $800, which would make the MM140 something less, and IOC on Ebay even less. Just checked IOC on Ebay: the MM180 is $719 and the MM140 is $618.

I have a MM130XP and I too think it is the best one out there for work in its range. I have used it on materal over 1/8 as well but plan the welds accordingly. IIRC I paid something like $750 for the machine, a regulator and a crappy import mig cart in 1998 or 1999. New but sitting on the showroom floor. I should not have paid a dime for the import cart as it was soon to be replaced junk.
Get it if it is a good price. All the consumables are standard Miller stuff, easy to find and will be for a long time. Open it up and blow all the dust out. Take the torch apart and blow the liner out too. Check the flow through the gas valve and regulator.
As an example,My MM251 was $600 used with regulator, one extra standard M-25 torch, one extra long Tweco and a 40 foot ex-cord. That was a deal IMO. All that was wrong with it was it was dusty and dirty looking. I have seen the MM130 or similar such as the MM135 selling for $200 to $400.Weekend wannab racer with some welders.

That $1200 included the co2 tank, regulator and the Miller cart. The cart gave up long ago.

First 2 letters of serial number will tell you the year. The first letter is the decade and the second is the year of the decade. L is for 2000's and K is for 1990's. LA would be a 2000.Millermatic350P/Python, MillermaticReach/Q300

Men's Golf Finishes Seventh in Puerto Rico Classic
Tuesday, February 26, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 26, 2002) -- The East Tennessee State men's golf finished seventh after shooting a final-round 300 in Tuesday in the Puerto Rico Classic from the Rio Del Mar Country Club River Course in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The tournament was won by Georgia Tech (275-275-279=829), who won the tournament by 25 strokes over Clemson. East Tennessee State finished with a three-day total of 883 (295-288-300), 54 strokes back of the Yellow Jackets. The Bucs finished ahead of schools such as Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas. Seniors James Johnson (74-70-77=221)(Barbados) and Adam Riddering (72-70-79=221)(Maple Grove, Minn.) and freshman Marco Trejos (74-75-72=221) (San Jose, Costa Rica) were the best Buccaneer finishers, tying for 28th at 5-over-par. Freshman Cennydd Mills (Cardiff, Wales) was the next Buccaneer finisher, tying for 40th (78-73-73=224=224) after shooting his second consecutive 73 in the final round of play. Fellow freshman Jeremy Hobson (Thonotosassa, Fla.) rounded out ETSU's day, finishing in 70th (75-83-78=236) after firing a 78 on the final day of play. The Bucs return to action on March 11-12 as they travel to Tallahassee, Fla. to compete in the Seminole Classic, hosted by Florida State University.
