Had the GF Balsamic Chicken and it was delicious. Just make sure you specify that you need Gluten Free when ordering.
Great meal here several times. Look forward to returning
While their gluten free menu selection was okay, all 7 in our party were served cold GF pizza. The GF cookie & ice cream were good. The menu was very limited for my combined soy & GF diet. I probably would not choose to return given the GF restaurants to choose from in Tucson.
They now have a gfree Pizookie!!
330 Ed Noble Parkway, Norman, OK 73072
I was excited that they had gf pizza and choc chip pizza dessert. Unfortunately the pizza sauce wasn't to my taste and the service was way slow. Bummer
4805 S Loop 289, Lubbock, TX 79424
Pizza was great! Service was the WORST! We should have known when we had to ask for water twice and iced tea three times. One appetizer had to be asked for two times, after kids' got their food. To top it all off, I finished my pizza before they brought my husband's burger. The manager seemed offended that we complained about the service. On the end, she comped our meal, but then never came back to tell us, so we sat there for another 10 minutes waiting for the check.

This restaurant is very conscientious about gluten and other allergens. I had the chicken and spinach quinoa bowl, which was delicious.
5037 S Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
GF menu with a good variety of options
21001 North Tatum Blvd., Phoenix, AZ 85050
The gf choices are limited, but very delicious! They have a gf pizookie that is SO good!!!! The service and atmosphere are awesome!
9748 W. Northern Ave., Peoria, AZ 85345
The staff here went out of their way to make certain I was safe, even made my watermelon margarita with fresh watermen on instead of the syrup.
515 W. Bay Area Blvd., Webster, TX 77598
I went to this location and had the GF pizza and got EXTREMELY sick. I would avoid this particular BJ's as I feel they do not handle their food properly.
1807 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33401
Always delicious. We really enjoy eating GF here.
8761 Vineland Avenue, Orlando, FL 32821
Very celiac and child friendly. Very happy with our meals and service.
2514 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
The gluten free pizza was awesome, and my husband, who is not gluten free loved it too! Always a plus.
325 Outlet Shoppes Dr, Oklahoma City, OK 73127
Pizza is made with gluten free dough. They have gluten free Pazookies.
14442 East Cedar Ave, Aurora, CO 80012
Ordered everything from the gluten free menu.... The pizza and roasted Brussels sprouts.... Turns out I got the fully gluten kind instead (honey sriracha from the regular menu) waiter didn't care. very sick right now.
4201 N IH-35, Round Rock, TX 78664
They have pizza with gluten free crust. It was very delicious, the crust was very soft. I liked it a lot🍕.
9960 University Plaza Dr, Fort Myers, FL 33913
When reading the menus after look at some things closely, come to find out on the gluten free menu some of the items listed do have gluten in them. My husband and I wanted the guacamole but the seasoning has gluten and it's still on the gluten free menu. Look carefully cause you could get something that really isn't gluten free. Ask your server to check with a manager cause if we didn't my husband would have gotten very sick.
2514 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
I eat there all the time and never had a reaction. They will even wrap the burgers in lettuce and have a dedicated fryer for french fries.
2514 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
Definitely gluten friendly, and the waitress was great. Gave three stars b/c the pizza wasn't very good, and kind of expensive for the quality. The gf pazooki was great though!
4502 S. Steele St., Tacoma, WA 98409
They do not have gluten free buns and the lettuce wrap I received was a bunch of cut up lettuce so it was impossible to hold. The waitress tried to tell me I'd be fine with the fries even though there is no dedicated fryer. I didn't appreciate her acting like she knew my level of sensitivity better than I do. Very presumptuous.
1101 N. Central Expressway, Plano, TX 75075
The food was excellent. There was a ton of choices to choose from. I had the Gf pizza and it was one of the best I have had. I also ordered the GF pizzokie which was a little undercooked but it was still really good. The service was excellent for a holiday weeknight.
14714 Baltimore Ave, Laurel, MD 20707
No gluten free menu available and server was rude. They gave us an allergen free menu that we were unable to read (Font was probably 4). The server told us that it was the only copy available and didn't offer any help to accomodate us (celiac).
2917 Eastland Center Drive, West Covina, CA 91791
So I always get the same thing the tomato soup no croutons and a baked potato. They were out of baked potatoes so my waiter offered a salad. I made sure to let him know it had to be gluten free, but when it came there were crumbs all over the top and a huge piece of crouton in the salad! I showed him this and he was very apologetic but he never brought out a new salad! Or asked if there was anything else he could do! At other bus when they messed things up they gave us a free gluten free pizookie! Still like bus as a good chain option for gluten free but was very disappointed in this location
2365 Sand Creek Rd, Brentwood, CA 94513
I asked for a gluten free balsamic chicken dishes. And they tried to serve the onion strings that have gluten in it on top of the balsamic chicken. Thank goodness I know better and more than the staff... I tried to explain celiacs but who knows if they care...
4201 N IH-35, Round Rock, TX 78664
I love BJ's Brewhouse! We have been several times and I have never had any issue, and I am very sensitive. I have always ordered the pizza and it is delicious! I have had the pizookie several times as well.
1520 Harvey Rd, College Station, TX 77840
Food is ok (typical BJ's chain standards). I've eaten here about half a dozen times without problems. Decent if you're looking for gluten free in College Station.
24032 El Toro Road, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
Only one star because I had to . My daughter never eats out because of the anxiety of being glutened. Tonight, she was glutened so badly, we barely made it home before she became violently ill. My husband found a noodle in his gluten free dish. The gluten free dishes were delivered to the table at the same time with the gluten dishes, waitress knocked my daughters silverware off of her plate and picked it up with her gluten contaminated hands, not even realizing this could be an issue. She ordered a gluten free pizza and a gluten free pazookie. Never again. Now my daughter will spend the rest of her birthday and the days following sick.
24032 El Toro Road, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
I eat here regularly with my family. BBQ chicken chopped salad "with no onion strings" and a gluten allergy explained is what I order. Others in my party get the gluten free pizza. We have never gotten ill from this location and feel comfortable eating here. For extra calories and enjoyment, get the gluten free chocolate chip pizookie. It's TOO good.
4201 N IH-35, Round Rock, TX 78664
GF menu and staff say they mark tickets GF allergen if you ask them. I always ask the manager to get involved in hotside operations, to ensure busy staff are not overlooking GF processes. Staff and managers are always GF friendly. Our family has not had any problems with GF cross contamination here. Well done!
5037 S Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
They always take such great care of me when I come here! I eat here A LOT and I think I've only gotten sick once, which is what sometimes happens when you go out to eat at a place like this. This was when they were relatively new though. Ever since I've been back they always make sure everything is safe. Recently the manager gave my fiancé and I free pizookies because it was taking a long time and they wanted to ensure they were prepared safely for us :) the only downside is there is very limited food options if you don't like getting the same thing, but I always get pizza and a pizookie!
1749 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, FL 32301
So glad to find a new gluten-free option in Tallahassee. They understand how to prevent cross contamination. The tomato bisque made for a great starter. For the entree, the balsamic glazed chicken is amazingly tender & tasty. I substituted the mashed potatoes for a baked potato. My friend had the GF Hawaiian pizza which was one of the better GF crusts we've had. We shared the pizookie which is a warm GF chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream on top. I will definitely be back.
2951 Cold Springs Dr, New Braunfels, TX 78130
terrible service! Every ones order was messed up to some degree. Very disappointed family dinner.
8002 Citrus Park Town Center, Citrus Park, FL 33625
Service here is ridiculously slow and staff is not knowledgable.
3531 N. Freeway Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834
Majority of GF items are salad but they do have GF pizza crust to which you can add several toppings. I had the pizza and it was good for GF.
9960 University Plaza Dr, Fort Myers, FL 33913
This is a fantastic place if your gluten free. Has a menu for all allergies. Has appetizers, soups, steaks, Sides and the best part is......DESSERT! A single serving or a big JUST baked, warm gluten free chocolate chip cookie with vanilla bean ice cream on it. I was AWESOME!
7900 Shelbyville Road, Louisville, KY 40222
great pizza and awesome house made root beer!
14714 Baltimore Ave, Laurel, MD 20707
BJ's misses the boat. They give lip service to having gluten-free food, but they only have a few token choices, they are sloppy with cross-contamination and corporate just doesn't care to do gluten-free recipes even when it's easy. They do have a good (one flavor) gluten-free pizza and a good (one flavor) gluten-free cookie. Everything else that is gluten-free tends to cluster at the highest price points on the menu. Even their potato skins are cross-contaminated because they can't be bothered with a separate fryer. This is not the best choice. I'd rather they just didn't advertise gluten-free than do such a half-assed job.
12105 N. Center, Portland, OR 97217
BJ's is one of my go to locations when I'm traveling. My usual is the GF Spicy Pig Pizza. The Mini GF Pizookie is yummy too. Rachael is a great server at this location.
8285 Red Bug Lake Rd, Oviedo, FL 32765
Good gluten free pizza, and I've never gotten sick here. The gluten free pizookie dessert is delicious!
11700 Princeton Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45246
Excellent great pizza... Had mine with with feta and jalapeño
190 E. Stacy Road, Allen, TX 75002
They have a large variety of gluten free items, even dessert. I am supper sensitive but didn't get sick there! So exciting for me
2514 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
Fantastic! The gluten free menu had many choices. I had the broccoli cheese soup, the portobello mushroom and asparagus salad, and the GF chocolate Chip Kazookie, and everything was excellent! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was beautiful. The prices were good too.
12010 West Broad Street, Henrico, VA 23233
Our server was well trained on the GF foods they offer. I had the pizza and pizookie. It was delicious! We will be back!

Service is consistently slow but I've never had a reaction from eating there (I'm celiac).

Amazing gf dessert! Pizza is good too but the cast iron gf cookie is worth it alone
4901 Belt Line Rd., Dallas, TX 75254
LOVE BJ's! I have celiac disease and this is one of my go-to places. They have several really good gluten free options, including their GF pizza which is delicious. They're careful in their prep to and I've never gotten sick here.
2514 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
Awesome place to eat. Great staff and wonderful atmosphere. A nice selections of gluten-free items including a dessert and a cider.
460 The City Drive South, Outlets at Orange, Orange, CA 92868
I have Celiac and usually BJ's is a great go to place while traveling but this BJ's lacked in their food quality standards. I get the GF Spicy Pig Pizza with no cheese but had to send it back due to no pizza sauce or bacon and disproportioned ham. Luckily I didn't get sick. Disappointing!
10840 West Charleston, Las Vegas, NV 89135
I love their gluten free pizza and during happy hour it's half off 👍🏻😊. I have Celiac and have never gotten sick here.
4151 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839
Food is decent and standard. I got the gf pizza which from my experience is one of the better of the chains that have gf pizza. We have BJ's at home. You always need to be specific with the server that you have celiac and need to avoid cross contamination and you should be good
6611 W. Newberry Road, Gainesville, FL 32605
Gluten free pizza is decent. Ordered a burger with no bun and was amazed how well they delivered it. They packed it with tons of toppings. Do not leave without ordering a gf pazzookie!
11600 Amargosa Rd, Victorville, CA 92392

As cold weather comes to Dodge City, many are beginning to let their home environment warm up instead of cool down. But it is important to remember several key safety tips when heating up your home this season. It is important to properly service your heating system for the sake of both safety and efficiency. One aspect of this is cleaning or replacing the filter. When filters aren't replaced the furnace has to work harder to compensate for poor airflow. The furnaces will get hotter than normal, increasing the chance of a fire. Many manufacturers recommend changing the filter once per month and at a minimum they should be changed once per quarter, according to Dodge City Fire Chief Kevin Norton. Norton recommends having a professional inspection done each year. It is important to make sure that all vents are intact. If you have a portable heater, don't place anything combustible nearby. Fireplaces can also be hazardous, with creosote building up on the inside of a chimney. The chimney should be cleaned yearly and it is important to burn the correct type of wood, since burning wood with treatment can lead to a creosote buildup. Not only can excess creosote cause a fire, it can also cause a buildup of carbon monoxide. The outside of the chimney should also be inspected and it is important that the mortar on a chimney be in good condition. It is also vital to keep a protective cover in front of the fire. Some homes will use a kerosene or electric heater and it is important that these be inspected too. Electric heaters should be placed away from flammable materials. Extension cords should be long enough and rated to handle that particular heater. Do not run electrical cords under a rug. This time of year is also a good time to check the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. According to Norton, a good time to change the smoke detectors is at daylight savings time. House fires can increase in number as homes switch from cooling to heating, making it important to follow safety procedures.

The disruption is suspected to be the result of a virus that had infected personal workstations without affecting the primary servers and components of Saudi Aramco's network, the company said on Thursday. Saudi Aramco produced an average of 9.1 million bpd of oil last year.

I am also skeptical of a sueddn drop in Saudi production, but equally so of anything above their previous peak.Also, they have a very brisk pace of internal consumption growth which limits their net exports.The Oil shock of '08 did not come, as might be thought from the wording, as a shock. It was a shock in terms of effects but not in the way it arrived, which sets it apart from the 70s shocks.Remember, back in '06, the world was still learning to deal with oil around 50-60 dollars per barrel on a consistent basis. Prices crept up incrementally for a number of years and if the Saudis indeed did have all that reserve capacity which we've all been told for years then, again, why did they fail to use it in the first months of 2008 and ahead until the early summer of that same year?Unless you think they were clumpsy or acted in a conspiracy to bring the world economy down, there has to be a rational(at least from their narrow national, or geologial, perspectice) reason for this.Yes, it takes time to produce new oil but Aramco has some of the best people employed by them from overseas and they've been in the business for a very long time now. If laymen like us can predict rough oildemand and what's needed to meet it based on production data from across the world, it would be foolish to think that Aramco can't, given all their genuine expertise and massive resources at hand.I'm sorry, there are too many inconsistencies to just accept flatly out of hand for me to drop this on it's face and just carelessly move on.Saudi Arabia continues to be the puzzle of which the Peak Oil event, when it will occur and how serious, continues to hinge upon. And while I didn't dabble in Simmons' prophecies of doom, I still found it closer to the mark than the conventional wisdom spouted by the MSM and the Saudis themselves(Perhaps the most amusing one was the Economist statement in 2006).

??For self defense, I'd rather have no other side arm.What kind of range are you talking about?
I have a 1911 .45, but it's not very accurate or useful at much range.
Posted 24 June 2011 - 08:36 AM
I just went through the same process you are going through right now and I chose a S&W Model 29 .44 Mag 4" barrel DA, I am in my 10 day wait right now I was looking for a sidearm for hunting/fishing/hiking and a general all around "mountain gun". In the end I liked the DA better for SD reasons.
44 mag. General outdoors sidearm - hunting, plinking, targets, and maybe self defense, hopefully not ever need to. I have a 1911 .45, but it's not very accurate or useful at much range.
Posted 24 June 2011 - 11:17 AM
Yep, that would be my pick, especially for hunting, camping, fishing or whatever type of outdoor activities. A Great sidearm for man or beast that is trying to remove your head, along with it being an excellent "hunting" revolver. Few, if any others can do it as well, much less any better... (considering everything / including weight). I actually have the same revolver, only in 5" barrel, which is a little long for me, & much prefer the 4". But, I will live with it. lolThe great .45 semi auto is absolutely at the top of the list for a handgun in "home" defense. Actually, a 12 guage pump compliments a .45 very well for this. But for the great outdoors...If picking a handgun specifically for "hunting", then a single action revolver is nice. But for the criteria mentioned above, a DA revolver is the better choice IMO. I own both SA & DA and they all have their advantages and disadvantages for what they are used for. Then again, certain handguns just look cool &/or nostalgic and are fun to own. Now that should confuse someone... mostly myself. lolFrank

In the desert on the border. 4 legged and maybe 2 legged coyotes, ground squirrels, jacks, deer in the mountains. The .45 1911 is absolutely great for PD, but not so much for small target hunting or longer range PD, and I don't want to carry a .44 or .357 and the .45. My 1911 is great for combat accuracy, I just took first in the local comp Weds (pretty laid back, only 4 guys, I'm not great or anything)....but for small targets at any range, forget it. 1911s CAN be accurate, but they weren't designed to be, so the work to make them accurate is not cost effective. If you run into BGs in the desert (God forbid), having something with some range is a good thing. I don't have an AR and don't know if i will get one.

I sure hate ( ) to talk about the 45 Colt.....Or 454 Casull,.....44 mag...Oh, and hitting something at 100 yards ?Yep,it can be done,with a handgun. I know,back to my corner.
Ya just GOTTA keep bringing up that .45 long colt, don't ya, Frank? You know I'm a recovering gun nut and am not allowed in the stores.
Posted 24 June 2011 - 09:02 PM
Just 'cuz. Handguns are lighter, handier, and more of a challenge. Hunting with them combines my two favorites...handgunning and stalking. Hunting jacks with a rifle has gotten to be like shooting fish in a barrel unless it's a real long shot or a successful stalk to a better shooting spot. I had one that I jumped, stalked, and jumped three times over a pretty large area... on the last jump he took off running and I dropped down (prone) and watched him...he stopped on a hill and looked back to see where I went....and that couple of seconds was all it took. I was breathing pretty good from sneaking around hunkered over as quick as I could watching him 3 times, and the physical and mental (cat and mouse) challenge was very rewarding. It's not much fun to spot one at 100 yards that doesn't see you, and just drop and pop 'im. Another fun one was a couple hundred off, not a long shot, but too far for offhand, and I was in a basin in the weeds, had to crawl to a hump to shoot from...it was a good and rewarding sneak. I just rigged up a scope on my .22mag Single Six, itching to try it out
I might be able to hit a really LARGE target at 20 yards with a handgun. After that it goes down hill real fast. Hmmmm, now I know why God invented shotguns... just for me! Ok, just kidding on the above. However, I really am not anywhere near what I used to be with a handgun. Anyway, not sure why you would want any kind of 44, 45 (or?) handgun for long range "field" work when a rifle would do it a lot easier, AND may actually HIT something. But hey, that's why we all like different things, and is what makes the world go 'round Hmmm, ok then, maybe a 5 or 6" or longer barrel for your .44 or 357 (or?)... lolGood LuckFrank

Most people do. Pistol scopes are overated IMO. I went that route before, mounted up scopes on my 22LR, .357 Revolver and a 44 Mag. Ended up removing all of them...didn't care for them. Live and learn.
I pref the rifle to a pistol scope.
Posted 27 June 2011 - 11:01 AM
Posted 27 June 2011 - 12:30 PM
I'm the exact opposite. I can shoot squirrels all day with my 1911 but my Black Hawk in 44 Mag makes me flinch so darn much that if I didn't hit the squirrel on the first shot, I'm not going to hit it.

That is also Great practice for centerfire rifles. In other words, have the shooter turn their head away from the rifle, while a second person either inputs a live round or leaves the chamber empty and closes the bolt. This works especially well if the shooter has already fired a few live rounds and has been pounded by the recoil. They are almost always shocked how bad they find themselves flinching.35 yrs ago or there abouts, I did a fair amount of handgun shooting & got to where I could almost do pretty well with my 1911 at 25 yards. Almost! I never saw anyone else shoot that gun as good as I could, with one individual lucky to even hit the target. With that in mind, many, if not most folks I've seen shoot any handgun were fair at best, and thus I am always at least semi-skeptical whenever I hear of great handgun accuracy by someone. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, as it sure does, however?Which brings me to this next story...The best I ever saw anyone with a handgun, besides my dad (who shot competively at one time), was an old marine WWII vet who is no longer with us. Anyway, he could consistently hit a steel target with his 1911... @ 300 yards! I almost didn't believe my lying eyes. I do not remember how big the target was, perhaps in the 18" range(?) but am guessing at that. Pretty crazy!Bottom line? I'll take a shotgun or rifle anyday to a gunfight over a handgun. But that's just me...
Then reload it for him but leave the 3rd cylinder empty. They almost backflip when they dry fire it.

I'm 25 years old. For the past years, I've been running every day. I dont like running. I like swimming. Which one is good for maintaining your body and reducing your belly? What is the main difference between swimming and running? Can anyone give suggestions?

IMO swimming is a better all-around exercise for health; it can be tweaked to focus on upper- or lower-body, and is substantially less abusive.
That said, for absolute fat loss, it may not be optimal because of the heat loss encountered when in water. (Body: "This environment is costing me heat; I shall retain body fat.")
I say do what you enjoy--you're more likely to do it, it's less damaging, and it's great exercise.
Swimming, if done for speed/efficiency is actually more of an upper body workout than lower body. In fact, much of the focus of swimming improvement is in efficiency, which of course reduces calorie burn but results in the ability to swim longer and faster.
Also because you are floating, a lot of the work of carrying your own weight is skipped.
Running is probably better for general calorie burning.
If however you like swimming, then something is better than what you do not like.
From my experience I would say swimming coupled with calorie restriction is a much better choice than any of them alone.
I was also working on burning fat first. I tried running but I could not make any significant improvement, maybe 3 pounds over the course of a month. Then i tried swimming coupled with VERY mild calorie restriction. I practice swimming an hour a day with 30 minutes of floating (practicing leg movements as you do while learning freestyle for the first time), 10 minutes of fun (like splashing water at my little brother), and 20 minutes of butterfly (just for muscles in the upper body, not for fat).
There is no restriction. In course of 5 weeks, I have lost 10 pounds (without even resisting ice cream). Moreover, my upper body is already toned so swimming might be a good option.

Matt surprised me with tickets to see Beatles LOVE in Las Vegas for Valentine's Day! I wasn't expecting anything (we don't usually get into that into holiday) so I was really excited. I had never been to Las Vegas before. It just never happened I guess, and I wasn't that interested in it to be honest. I don't enjoy gambling, and although I love to dance, clubs can be overwhelming. So Matt and I booked a hotel room at Treasure Island, and set out for a super short, laid-back trip to Vegas. We left last Friday morning and only stayed for one night.
When we arrived it immediately reminded me of Times Square in New York. Lots of big flashy signs vying for our attention. Lots and lots of tourists, and corporate insignias everywhere you look. Not really my thing. Not really what I go looking for in a place to vacation at all. And then we walked through some of the casinos… Ugh… I hate walking through casinos. Smokey, dirty, flashy, noisy, crowded… I get panicky and claustrophobic with those low ceilings, recycled air and no end in sight.
So we settled for some chain restaurant Mexican food for lunch, and then walked back to the hotel. I decided to take a nap and Matt went down to play Roulette. I probably would have lounged poolside, but the weather was a bit too chilly for that. By the time I woke up, the sun had set, and the lights on the strip from our 36th story VIP hotel room (they upgraded us for free!) was very impressive. It gave me a boost of energy as we got ready for our show.
(my instragrams from top left: the Bellagio, the view of the strip from our hotel window, inspiring installation outside the LOVE show at the Mirage, amazing neon at the Flamingo)
We walked next door to The Mirage and grabbed a drink at a Beatles themed bar inside. And I don't know what happened, but I started to "get it". There's something magical about Vegas at night. The lights, the sounds, the crowds… everything that was slightly irksome during the daylight, became absolutely wonderful at night. And then LOVE was amazing. Just amazing. I was actually emotional during a couple of the performances. It's hard to explain, but if you've grown up with The Beatles like I have, hearing their music played in a concert setting is really moving.
From there we changed into more comfortable clothes and walked the entire length of the strip. Seriously. Stopping for drinks and hot dogs along the way. Matt wanted to check out the Luxor, so why not!? If you're not familiar with the Las Vegas Strip, Treasure Island and the Luxor are about 2 miles apart as the crow flies… but of course you can't actually walk that straight down the street… So we ended up walking 10+ miles (according to my pedometer).
Here's the other thing… the show started at 9:30pm and ended around 11:30. So at 11:30pm we decided to walk about 10 miles. But it felt like 8:00! I've never been in a place that literally never stops. We didn't get back to our hotel until 2:30am and all we did was walk around!
I was completely amazed by the spectacle of the entire place. It's so over the top. The design, the architecture, everything is big and bright and flashing. I ended up loving it for that fact alone and can't wait to go back. Maybe during a warmer time of year so I can enjoy some of the famous pools.
Have you ever been to Las Vegas? Do you love it? Hate it? Was your experience anything like mine?

Chandos CHAN 10748
Weber: Invitation to the Dance (orch. Berlioz); Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2; Bassoon Concerto - Karen Geoghegan (bassoon), BBC Philharmonic, Juanjo Mena
This is the fourth release by the BBC Philharmonic under its Chief Conductor, Juanjo Mena, and the discography is going from strength to strength – their recording of orchestral works by Falla was 'Recording on the Month' in BBC Music. They are joined on this recording by the bassoonist Karen Geoghegan.
Weber wrote the waltz Aufforderung zum Tanze (Invitation to the Dance) in 1819, around the time when he was also working on the opera Der Freischütz. The two works crossed paths once more, in 1841, when the latter was performed at the Opéra de Paris. Berlioz had been commissioned to orchestrate Aufforderung zum Tanze so that it could be incorporated into the opera, and he did so by melding Weber's polished and elegant original with his own sound world, with customary panache. It is the version included on this disc.
Also featured are Weber's Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2. That these works should be so neglected is partly down to historical accident; they were composed just four years after Beethoven's monumental 'Eroica' Symphony, the work which ditched the rulebook once and for all, and which turned the genre from classical perfection into a personal musical manifesto. So when Weber's symphonies saw the light of day, overshadowed by the great master, no one took much notice. However, these works are brimming with melody and invention and are unfailingly entertaining.
Also on this disc is the composer's Bassoon Concerto. Much of the work's appeal derives from Weber's ear for sonority, and in particular the dark-hued palette natural to the bassoon. The finale has the bassoon playing a jester of great agility, yet with enough elegant touches to dispel any clichéd ideas of the instrument as a figure of fun. The movement builds to an assured and almost reckless virtuoso ending. Karen Geoghegan is the soloist in this work. Gramophone said of this young artist that 'lyrical, mellifluous playing seems to come as naturally as wit and charm'.
"...Highly recommended."
Scott Noriega - Fanfare - May/June 2013
Performance **** Recording *****
"...They [the symphonies] make genial listening and the BBC philharmonic under Juanjo Mena provide an interesting programme, beginning with invitation to the dance orchestrated by Berlioz, and between the symphonies Karen Geoghegan plays the bassoon concerto, Chandos do well to give us this near forgotten repertoire."
Peter Spaull - Liverpool Daily Post - 20 December 2012

For the past year Kentucky Country Day's Andrea Wambaugh has tried hard to put the memories of last season's lacrosse state championship game behind her. The recollections, however, have defied repression.
Last May, after advancing to the final for the sixth straight year, the top-seeded Bearcats were upset 13-11 in overtime by a Sacred Heart team they had twice beaten during the regular season.
"You don't really try to give up, but you know in your heart that it's done," said Wambaugh, recalling the final minutes of her junior season. "I don't want to be in that position again."
Now the midfielder with 56 career goals is looking to bring a proper end to her remarkable high school career and supplant the disappointment of 2011 with a title in 2012.
KCD (10-3) finished atop the Kentucky Lacrosse Association's (KLA) nine-team first division with an 8-0 record against in-state competition. The Bearcats, state champs in 2008 and 2010, outscored opponents 117 to 44 and are the No. 1 seed entering postseason play this week.
Wambaugh, a three-year starter, has been a valuable asset maintaining possession in the midfield and getting forward in the attack. She ranks first in the league in assists, with 15, and third in goals, with 25. Including out-of-state games, Wambaugh has a career-best 22 assists and 37 goals.
"(She's) tough to defend because she can throw, catch and finish with either hand," said KCD coach Pat McAnulty, who is in his eighth year.
According to McAnulty, Wambaugh's enthusiasm for the sport and capacity for hard work are key components of her success. "You don't have to motivate her," he said. "She's a self-starter and she's somebody who is on the line first with a stick in her hand like, 'What are we doing? Let's go.'"
Wambaugh, or "Wam-Bam" as her teammates call her, took up lacrosse in sixth grade, and her growth from tyro to two-time varsity captain was largely a product of sweat.
"Five years ago, I would've never said she is going to be one of the top five players in the state and I know she is (now)," said McAnulty, who also coaches Wambaugh's club team, Bluegrass Premier.
"The one thing that endears me to her the most is that she's not as naturally gifted as some of the other kids I've coached over the years, but there's no one I would trade for in terms of her perseverance and work ethic. She is a self-made player and a total testament to what hard work can do."
Wambaugh admitted she was not the most athletic kid playing sports, but she worked hard and pushed herself to become a better athlete.
In addition to lacrosse, Wambaugh played four years of soccer at KCD and saw action on the basketball team last winter as well.
The student with a 3.7 GPA has committed to play lacrosse at D-III Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis., and hopes to attend medical school.
When she's not on the road with her club team this summer, Wambaugh will be clocking in and out at 32 Degrees, a yogurt bar at The Summit where she has worked for nearly three years. "It's like a second family for me. I love everyone there," she said.
Before summer rolls around, though, Wambaugh and the Bearcats have other work to complete. Their shot at redemption begins this Thursday, May 10, when opening round play in the KLA state tournament gets underway. Semifinals are slated for Monday, May 14 at Sacred Heart, and the championship game will be played at North Oldham on Thursday, May 17 at 7 p.m.
"There hasn't been a day that's passed when I haven't thought about what we could've done differently and how we're going to get back on top," said McAnulty. "The kids do not want to feel that pain again."
- Assumption sophomore Katherine Receveur and Holy Cross junior Jacob Thomson took first in the boys' and girls' divisions, respectively, at the third annual Kentucky Dream Mile hosted by St. Xavier on May 4.Receveur crossed the line in 4:59.09 and was one of three Rockets among the top four finishers. Sophomore Bailey Davis was second (5:00.47) and senior Caroline McCaslin (5:02.73) finished fourth. Manual junior Cassidy Hale finished third at 5:01.43.With 100 yards remaining, Thomson pulled away from his friend and training partner, sophomore Patrick Gregory of Butler, and set a new event record of 4:13.43. Gregory (4:14.73) was second, followed by teammate Tretez Kinnaird, who finished third at 4:15.91.

In the 1800s in the Western US, there were a number of telegraph lines running through territory mostly inhabited by Indians. Did they ever sabotage the lines?
From what I've been able to dig up, the answer appears to be yes, but not as much as you'd think.
It appears the Telegraph companies saw the danger every bit as clearly as you did, and actively took steps to prevent it. They made sure to meet with the chiefs through whose territory they ran lines, hired them to help construct the lines, and generally took pains to treat them with far more respect and deference than white men typically showed Native Americans.
Apparently all this effort did pay off.
However, there are, as you suspected, always exceptions. In fact, if the lines were being actively used against them, it would be stupid not to cut them:
I'd highly suggest reading the entire link above. Fascinating stuff.

Simple tab panel loads in Firefox fine, not in IE7
I've got a very simple viewport that I created to use in a shared development environment where we're ramping up on extjs... For the moment it's just a toolbar and a tab panel. Using extjs 4.0.7 this renders as expected (3 tabs, with the inlined html), works fine in both IE7 and Firefox. When I updated to the 4.1.0-beta2 it stopped working in IE7, now I only get the toolbar and nothing of the tab panel. Firefox still renders it just fine. My app.js is basically empty other than the autoCreateViewport:true ...
Ext.define('lwdiag.view.Viewport', { extend: 'Ext.container.Viewport', layout: 'fit', requires: ['Ext.tab.*'], initComponent: function() { this.items = { dockedItems: [{ dock: 'top', xtype: 'toolbar', height: 20, items: [{ xtype: 'component', html: 'navigation toolbar' }] } ], layout: { type: 'border' }, items: [{ width: 600, xtype: 'tabpanel', activeTab: 0, region: 'center', items: [{ xtype: 'panel', title: 'Content Panel 0', html: 'Panel Content' }, { xtype: 'panel', title: 'Content Panel 1', html: 'For testing purposes replace this entry with "xtype:<yourviewalias>" and remove the html entry' }, { xtype: 'panel', title: 'Content Panel 2', html: 'For testing purposes replace this entry with "xtype:<yourviewalias>" and remove the html entry' }] }] } this.callParent(); } });

With regular exercise during pregnancy, women also recuperate faster after the birth of the baby, whether they have a vaginal delivery or a C-section. Obviously, an additional benefit is not gaining as much weight during pregnancy. In general, exercising seems to go along with eating better and maintaining a more positive attitude toward the pregnancy. Since exercising releases endorphins, it also helps with emotional stress and potential depression.
From the Doctor's Perspective...
Doctors know that exercise is truly beneficial for pregnant women. Many colleagues of mine (obviously females) make sure to follow an exercise regimen throughout their pregnancy. I once had a woman who exercised right up to her delivery. This woman came in to the hospital to get checked because she thought she might be in pre-labor (she'd had children before). Surprisingly, she was 8 centimeters dilated, and wasn't feeling too bad. She'd come straight to the hospital after pushing a lawnmower and mowing her entire lawn. Her labor only took an hour and a half, and she recovered quickly.
A Checklist Before Exercising
So, you've decided to exercise. Here are a few simple, but important, rules to follow.
Why water? Water helps with the blood flow, and it improves uterine profusion, meaning that it optimizes blood flow to the uterus. The benefits: the baby gets more oxygen and the exchange of waste and nutrients between mother and baby becomes more efficient. Insuring adequate water intake can contribute toward having a normal amount of amniotic fluid around the baby. The amniotic fluid keeps the baby floating and keeps the umbilical cord from being compressed. With a lower amount of amniotic fluid, there is more of a risk of the baby sitting on the cord and compressing it in the later stages of pregnancy. Unfortunately, you might not know this until you perceived less movement in the baby.
So...drink up! You can't hurt yourself by drinking too much water as long as your diet is well balanced.
When Not to Exercise
There are some definite conditions during pregnancy where exercise should be avoided at all costs. If you have pre-eclampsia or pre-term labor, your doctor will not let you exercise.
If you have pain, spotting, bleeding, or have an unusual discharge, do not exercise.
If you're feeling light-headed, don't exercise. Pregnant women have a higher tendency to feel light-headed due to changes in blood volume and blood pressure and how the blood vessels constrict and dilate during pregnancy. This normal condition can lead to dizziness if a woman gets up too fast or lies flat on her back (particularly during the second half of the second trimester). If you are light-headed, it could also be from dehydration. Take a break and drink some water or a sports drink.
Exercise While Traveling
Traveling naturally precludes exercising or moving around a whole lot, which can be dangerous for pregnant women. Make sure you get an aisle seat, so you can get up and move around easily. Women who are pregnant have a higher predisposition to forming blood clots in their legs, so movement of the legs is imperative. You should walk at least 10 minutes out of every hour on a flight.
It's wise to drink a liter of a sports drink before boarding the plane (in other words, tank up); then continue to drink water while flying because there is a tendency to get dehydrated while flying. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate (i.e., drink, drink, drink). Of course, that aisle seat will be a necessity if you do and you'll get your exercise naturally by marching back and forth to the bathroom.
The Ultimate Exercise Sex! (or Sex It's Still a Three-Letter Word)
Depending on your feelings about the matter (and your partner's), sex can be a fun (three letters) and natural type of exercise, particularly if your partner is amenable. In most cases, your sex life should not be curtailed in any way, barring unforeseen circumstances like morning sickness interfering. (It's not particularly sexy or flattering to upchuck while your partner is being amorous.) Occasionally, a woman will feel less like having sex because she's tired or not feeling well; however, just as frequently, a woman may have an increased libido always good for her mate.
When to Have Sex
It's important for your marriage/relationship that you still make time for sex, even though you're pregnant. Again, to quote Nike just do it! Otherwise, there is the risk that your husband might get jealous of the baby before it's even born or feel as if he's coming second in your life. It sounds immature, but it happens. Although you may feel like hibernating for a few months, your husband is still very much alive and needs your attention. Schedule dates and time alone. It will pay off in good feelings all-round.
An FYI: The baby does not know you're having sex; nor does he/she care, so don't worry about a "third person" watching you.
From the Doctor's Perspective...
Some doctors suggest that a woman who is at full term and ready to deliver should use sex to stimulate labor. Marta insists that it's an ancient tribal custom, although I've never heard that theory.
From the Patient's Perspective...
Sorry, but when I was ready to deliver, sex was the last thing on my mind. Ancient tribal customs aside (and I have heard it somewhere, Dr. John!), anyone who tried to touch me that way might not have lived to tell about it. A woman near labor is not a pretty thing to behold or be around (at least not in my case).
When Not to Have Sex
Use common sense about not having sex. If intercourse causes you pain, stop it and consult with your doctor as soon as possible. If you have any unusual discharge before, during, or after sex; or if you have a leakage of fluid, these are conditions to report to your doctor. If you're bleeding, and it is undiagnosed bleeding, it needs to be checked out immediately. If you're having any kind of uterine contractions that you're unsure about, it's probably not a good time to have sex, and you should report your condition to your doctor.
Always be careful that your partner does not hurt you in any way, particularly your abdomen. Prolonged direct compression of a woman's abdomen during intercourse (the missionary position) could be harmful for obvious reasons (particularly in the later stages of pregnancy), but most other positions are OK. If your back hurts, you can always prop pillows under it or do whatever it takes to get comfortable.
In most cases, physicians will recommend that you should not have sex if you're in pre-term labor, for fear that you might stimulate the labor. Also, if you have placenta previa, it is generally advisable not to have intercourse or put anything in the vagina (you don't want anything to have contact with the cervix). Of course, if your water breaks, skip sex and go straight to the hospital (do not pass go; do not collect $200).
It's probably alright to have oral sex, but doctors don't know for sure. Orgasm in a woman can cause contractions of the uterus. It's unclear what component of sex may contribute to increased uterine contractions that could lead to pre-term labor. Doctors don't know if it's related to chemical reactions or a prostaglandin release. In other words, is it the physical act of intercourse that stimulates the contractions or is it caused by a woman's orgasm? These questions are difficult to answer, since the data is limited, but this is the reason that most physicians still suggest pelvic rest (or no sex) if a woman is in pre-term labor.
The Absolute Minimum
If you can exercise comfortably and without pain, then get out there and move. Exercising will keep you in shape during the pregnancy and probably make your labor and delivery easier and more efficient.

Which one should I use of the following:
Compile Error
Compiler Error
I think the "Compilation Error" is way too long for everyday use, even though it's the "correct" term. So, which one?
Which one should I use of the following:
I think the "Compilation Error" is way too long for everyday use, even though it's the "correct" term. So, which one?
Looking at the number of results on Google Books and Google Scholar, and also Google:
Books and Scholars show a clear order of preference, for compiler error over compile-time error over compilation error over compile error, but unfortunately the general public seems to show the opposite tendency.
Grammatically, all four (or at least all but the last one, which is ironically the most popular) are fine:
Google n-gram viewer tells a similar story (click on the image), though, as if underscoring its unreliability, compile-time error seems to be missing from its corpus for some reason (zero results).
[Aside: broadening the date range gives a few results in 1890–1910… what's with that?]
I'd prefer compilation error myself, as it is the "correct" term, as you say, and only a few letters longer than the alternatives. Compiler error would mean that there is a problem with the compiler, rather than the source code. Compile error sounds a bit baby-talk to me.

So, there are lots of different versions of Unix out there: HP-UX, AIX, BSD, etc. Linux is considered a Unix clone rather than an implementation of Unix. Are all the "real" Unices actual descendants of the original? If not, what separates Linux from Unix?
That depends on what you mean by "Unix", and by "Linux".
For all intents and purposes, a typical modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora, Slackware, etc) is a Unix, but strictly speaking, no system can claim to be Unix without being certified, so instead people say they are Unix-like. They are inspired by Unix, and carry on its culture.
This also applies to BSD systems.
Mac OS X is certified Unix, so it's Unix both in name and indeed. (and it's actually based on BSD).
It should be noted that since Linux itself is just a kernel, it can be used to build non-unix-like systems (such as Android).
Linux is more 'Unix-like' so yes simplistically you could call it a clone, the same is true for BSDs (although admittedly BSDs could be considered closer to Unix than Linux).
The main thing that gives Linux the Unix-like title is the fact that it is nearly fully compliant w/ POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface [for Unix]) standards that have built up over time.
The other key thing, is the inheritance of code etc, as demonstrated on Wikipedia, Linux does not actually originate from Unix sources, instead it is pretty much built from scratch (this is disputed however).
So essentially, the main thing that separates Unix from Linux is the ancestry and the standards that it meets.
The choosen answer explains it quite exhaustively, but you would have to watch a whole documentary to know all the details between the UNIX initial developement, and how Linux went out.
First you have to consider that Linux is the kernel, which was made by linus and other programmers. He chose to release it with the GPL, which by the time was a license made by the FSF, (RMS and other folks), who were also developping their own kernel and GNU.
What we usually call Linux is, at first, the kernel, plus all other tools originally coming from the GNU project. Those two project are historically different, because at the time, the kernel from the FSF folks was abandonned to favor the Linux kernel, which was much better.
I remember there is a documentary, you should really watch it, I find it important for your programming culture.
Another thing you have to consider when thinking about "*nix", is also everying involving POSIX and other architecture-standardised stuff. It's subject of OS design/research, but it defines precisely how the involved OSes works, and is crucial when you have a kernel working well with its tools.
There are lots of great answers already but I thought the views of the great Dennis Ritchie (co-creator of Unix) would be an interesting complement to the other more technical answers.
It seems that Dennis Ritchie considered Linux to be a legitimate Unix derivative. In a 1999 interview for LinuxFocus.org, he was asked,
His response to the question was
Linux is a Unix-Like Operating System developed by Linus Torvalds and thousands of others.
Linux is the most prominent example of a "real" Unix OS. It runs on anything and supports way more hardware than BSD or OS X. An interesting quote I found when I was comparing BSD and Linux:
BSD is more like a Unix OS than Linux is. Also notable is that Apple makes use of BSD and Linux components. Apple Uses APT from Debian and Ubuntu on the iOS and OS X platforms. And it is based on BSD. (The kernel though is Darwin, which is it's own kernel. Beastie the platypus is the Darwin mascot because he is a mix between Beastie from BSD and a Platypus.)
If you want a "real" Unix operating system (One that runs on anything and supports lots of hardware), try Linux.
I'm a long-time Linux User, having used it off and on from the 90's to early 2000's and then quit using it for awhile but started using it again around mid 2012 as my permanent OS so I can recommend it to anyone who wants to try something other than Windoze.

Staging System for Lymphedema
Last Modified: August 13, 2006
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there a staging system for lymphedema?
Linda McGrath Boyle PT, DPT CLT-LANA, Cancer Rehab Specialist and OncoLink Lymphedema Team Editor, responds:The International Society of Lymphology has established a staging system for persons with lymphedema.
For persons with lymphedema of the limbs, the following stages apply:
|Stage 0
|Subclinical lymphedema
No swelling or pitting of the skin
Symptom of heaviness in the limb due to excess fluid
May be present for months or years before progressing
|Stage I
|Swelling that is present can be "reversed" by elevating the swollen area
The first visible symptoms may occur during this stage
Pressing a finger into the swollen area leaves an indent. This is called "pitting edema"
No swelling is present in the morning, but gradually increases throughout the day.
|Stage II
|The amount of swelling increases and is not reduced by elevating the involved area.
The tissue feels thick and firm when compared to the uninvolved side.
There is still pitting edema, but the indent is often harder to create due to scarring of the tissues.
There is an increased risk of cellulitis (infection)
|Stage III
|The skin is hard and swelling cannot be reduced without treatment.
Typically the affected area is large and very full.
Chronic skin inflammation is evident.
Skin is thick and tough.

Hackers share knowledge ... and toys
|Andrew Leitholf, right, looks on as Andrew Buczko checks the accuracy of a part created on a 3-D printer at SYN/HAK, the Akron Hackerspace, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, in Akron, Ohio. (Michael Chritton/Akron Beacon Journal/MCT)
They really want to share their toys, Devin Wolfe explains as he walks around a warehouse in Akron, Ohio, past a 3-D printer, a mold maker, a couple of sewing machines, a wall full of hand tools, a wood and metal workshop filled with a dozen machines and a computer lab featuring desktops with every operating system.
"It's open to the community. We want people to use it," he said.
SYN/HAK is what's known as a "hackerspace" — a community-operated physical place where people can socialize, work on individual projects, or collaborate.
"It's the dream garage," Wolfe said.
There are 17 paying members of the nonprofit group, and monthly dues of $35 include 24-hour access to the warehouse. Only members can use the most dangerous tools, for liability reasons, Wolfe said. The dues help pay the rent.
There are another 25 or so "friends" of the effort who have donated money, or time, or equipment to help the operation get up and running earlier this year.
But six days a week, the facility also opens up for a few hours to the general public, with the space and much of the stuff inside available for free use.
"What do you want to learn? What do you want to do? What do you want to make?" Wolfe said. "We're everything."
Volunteers usually step up to host a couple of free classes a month on whatever topic moves them: "Welding, soldering, sewing, 16th century art," he said.
Just don't show up expecting someone to do your project for you.
"We all have regular jobs. We don't want to turn this into another one," Wolfe said.
The volunteers who make up SYN/HAK come from a variety of backgrounds: machinists, software engineers, artists. In age, they range from students (a 14-year-old recently used the space to build skateboard ramps) to retirees.
Andy Buczko, a 36-year-old computer tech, has been spending several hours a week at the space on a couple of projects. He's making a pinball machine from scratch, using the table saws to build the cabinet, and the 3-D printer to make some of the features. He's also designing fiber optic aquarium plants he has patented and intends to sell.
He appreciates having access to expensive equipment he would never be able to afford on his own, he said, but also just the space itself.
"I can do bigger projects in here, like the pinball machine. There's no room to do that at home," he said.
Andrew Leitholf, 26, who's working on his master's in geology at the University of Akron, said he spends four or more hours at the warehouse each week.
The attraction isn't just the physical sharing, he said, but the intellectual collaborations.
Recently, SYN/HAK was tapped by a Chicago website to celebrate reaching 200,000 members. Element14, a design engineer community, wanted to have a showdown between imaginary vessels that resembled the Death Star of "Star Wars" and the Borg Cube of "Star Trek" fame.
Akron volunteers made small prototypes of the sci-fi icons and produced a short video to dramatize the battle, an admittedly "cheesy" film but one that called on them to learn new production skills.
For their second collaboration, members are talking about building a vehicle for novelty racing competitions.
Some members are also planning kid-friendly programs for next summer, from teaching how 3-D printing works to rocketry.
Wolfe said the group doesn't object to people using the space for their businesses. A couple of members build custom-made computers at the site; others have sewn or made jewelry for sale.
"As long as you don't interfere with our business, we don't have a problem with it," he said.
They also accept and share scrap donations. There are boxes with small pieces of steel and aluminum, boxes of wood, a handful of 2x4s against the wall, and shelves with spare computer parts.
"I just want to see people come in here and make stuff," Wolfe said.
To learn more about SYN/HAK, it's best to just show up during open hours. Visit https://synhak.org for hours, meeting times and a live webcam.

Vampire Knits!
I have some exciting news to share. This week marks the debut of a book called Vampire Knits, and I just happen to have a sweater in it. Actually…I happen to have the COVER!!
My contribution, the Lore Hoodie was a last minute one, and it had to be knit twice because the first one got lost in the mail (d'oh!). I was actually pleased to get the chance to reknit it because I made a few improvements to the closures, switching from buttons and snaps to toggles with slightly felted crochet loops.
Genevieve Miller, the editor of the gorgeous book gave a great interview at Comic Con that you can watch here. She's also blogging about the book here. She graciously accepted my very last minute proposal, which was inspired by the long winter walks I was talking in between devouring Twilight and episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The hoodie is knit in wonderfully light Peruvia Quick in a color that I have personally banned myself from using for awhile. Almost every Berroco yarn comes in this elusive purply-brown shade and I find it irresistible!! It goes with everything and it warm, unique and flattering. I highly recommend it…if I can't knit or design with it, YOU should!
P.S. The winner of the Remix/Acer cardigan kit is Seanna Lea! Congrats Seanna, and thanks to everyone who entered!
I have to admit that I really dislike Twilight, but I love Buffy. This shade is one of my favorites in the Berocco line along with a wonderful vibrant teal that you also have. Yummy!September 15, 2010

I have more of this color (in Berroco Alpaca) in my stash than any sane person would. It and the pea green Alpaca are so fun together!September 15, 2010

I LOVE your Lore Hoodie! I recently ordered a bunch of Peruvia Quick in Bing Cherry and just decided I want to knitt Lore with it. So, while ordering Vampire Knits, I also ordered Norah's, Knitting with Nature. Thank you, thank you!September 15, 2010
Congratulations! It's (another) beautiful design. BTW, you are remarkably calm about the first getting lost in the mail.September 16, 2010
Lore is gorgeous, I had the book on preorder based solely on the cover sneak peek!September 17, 2010
Love Lore and that color! What a great attitude about it getting lost… that's my worst nightmare, besides, of course, getting bitten by a vampire!September 23, 2010
Gorgeous!!!! Congratulations.
Have you considered selling the pattern on Ravelry??September 24, 2010

Vampires scare me but I love your sweater. I don't like purple very much but I love purple-brown.
I don't know if you can answer this but just thought I'd ask anyway: what is the the pattern that's featured up in the logo on this blog right now? It has the green yarn and the tulip looking stitch pattern. Thanks.September 25, 2010
The model is my daughter. I can't believe how beautiful she looks. It was a fun shoot.October 3, 2010

So pretty! Is the color Boysenberry, by chance? I hope so….I just ordered 13 hanks to knit my hubbie Pacey for Christmas. Of course, there's no way it will be a surprise for him.November 5, 2010

Wow, this is really weird. I just cast(ed?) on this pattern this afternoon. I bought the VK book at Borders during the big closing sale and was super excited to find it. Anyhoo, I was looking for a link to the pattern online to show a friend what I am working on, and how weird that I cast this on exactly one year after this was posted? It was meant to be! I can't wait to finish it, it is a great pattern!!!September 16, 2011

The Spooktacular History of Halloweenby Lindsay Hutton
Halloween is not just about dressing up in costumes and asking for candy! It's a holiday steeped in folklore and customs. From carving pumpkins to trick or treating, each ghoulish tradition has its own fascinating tale.
1 of 9
The Origins of Halloween
Although it only became popular in America in the early 1900's, Halloween dates back almost 2,000 years when it marked the Celtic New Year. Originally known as Samhain, which means "summer's end" in Gaelic, many Halloween customs and traditions have roots in pagan beliefs and Irish folklore. These customs became popular in America when many Irish fled their country to escape the potato famine of 1846.

The earliest source I can find is Rosh who quotes an enactment of the Geonim to have a ceremony surrounding the redemption with its blessings (which are outlined on Pesachim 121b). He writes:
Rosh actually quotes a custom to say further blessings but rejects it, and as far as I know no one nowadays says those blessings.

The 6 Most Disturbingly Evil Birds
Birds are the most majestic creatures on Earth -- we plaster them on our cars, flags and coins. You see them soaring up there, and think they're above all the petty savagery down here on the ground.
Well, it turns out they're dicks.
#6. Golden Eagles Will Drop Your Ass
The golden eagle is perhaps the most revered bird in the entire world. It is the national bird of five countries and has been featured on the coat of arms of nearly a dozen others. It is the very symbol of animal majesty and might. Also, it is a shithead.
Ornithologists consider the golden eagle to be the "guido" of the Animal Kingdom.
Why? Well, let's say you're a turtle. You're minding your own business, taking it slow. Suddenly, holy shit, you are flying! Just effortlessly soaring through the air. Whee!
"It's about damn time, evolution."
Ah, but now, you are dropping to the ground, your slow turtle brain barely able to register the horror as the rocks rush up at you from hundreds of feet below. Congratulations, you have made the acquaintance of a golden eagle:
Rather than bothering to pry the tender tortoise meat from the shell, the eagle simply grabs the whole creature, soars as high as it can and drops it, letting gravity and the rocks below do the shell-shattering work.
For such a badass bird, it seems like an awfully dickish way to hunt. Keep in mind, in Mongolia they use golden eagles to hunt wolves. Not to harass wolves, mind you -- they don't flush out wolves so a guy with a rifle can snipe from a safe distance. No, these raptors will fearlessly dive in, throw down with and kill wild foxes and wolves that can be several times their size (the bird is only 15 pounds, max). The golden eagle pierces the victims heart with its talons, killing them instantly. To get the kill away from the bird, its handler has to distract it with a piece of meat. It's like a fucking shark with wings. One that torments turtles.
"Turtles are small fry, Earl. If we work together, I think we can take down a whole midget."
Oh, and if it finds a mountain goat way up high on a cliff? If video evidence is to be trusted, the eagle will grab it and give it the ol' turtle treatment. WARNING: Do not watch this unless you enjoy seeing innocent animals dropped from great heights and splattered mercilessly upon the rocks below:
The golden eagle, kids. It has strength, speed, keen senses, lightning reflexes ... and it uses them to toss petting-zoo-grade animals over a sheer precipice for the sake of an easy meal.
When you think about it, this really is the perfect bird to symbolize America.
#5. Pelicans Are the Sarlacc of the Bird World
Pelicans' defining feature is that they have the largest beaks in the world. That helps facilitate their unique eating technique -- basically they scoop up a bucket full of dirty water and strain out everything but the edible bits. Kind of like taking a big bite of dirt to find a potato. That doesn't make the pelican an asshole, of course. There are other reasons.
Like the fact that they never do the dishes. Even if it's totally their week.
When we say pelicans eat anything, we mean anything. If it fits in there gaping maw, it's fair game. Besides fish, amphibians and crustaceans, they have been known to chow down on pigeons, ducks, cape cormorants, kelp gulls, swift terns and African penguins. And that's also fine, birds kill other birds all the time.
But that's just the thing -- pelicans don't kill. They just swallow. Remember the Sarlacc from Return of the Jedi? And how the whole horror of the thing was that it didn't bite you or tear you -- it swallowed you whole, at which point you would be slowly digested in its stomach acid, unable to escape? That's how the pelican eats.
Unlike the Sarlacc, pelicans are rarely used as stand-ins for the terrible power of female sexuality.
So, somewhere in the world right now a fuzzy little hatchling is crammed into a Pelican's stomach, anguishing through a gruesome, protracted death. Is there any fate more inhuman than slowly suffocating in a putrid, acidic sack of rotting fish? Smothering in a living bag of vomit while greasy acid scalds your skin, searing its way into every crack and orifice? With that in mind, enjoy this video of some pelicans raiding a whole buffet of adorable ducklings:
And then we have the famous "Pelican eats a Pigeon" video. The swallowing of the live, thrashing bird occurs in a park, in front of terrified children:
And remember this was at a park where the animals get food regularly. In fact, the bird was being fed bread at that very moment. This pelican wasn't hungry. He's just a murderous glutton. Do you really think that pigeon scratching, pecking and defecating inside his mouth for 20 minutes(!) was in any way pleasant? How could that meal possibly have been worth the effort? Unless of course you need a regular supply of innocent souls to keep your feathers shiny.
Inside that beak is a war crime.
#4. The Shrike Will Impale You
Shrikes are basically little chirping balls of feathers. They're round, pudgy, unimpressive looking songbirds with short, stunted beaks and nubby wings. They're relatively common all over the world, so you've probably seen one and didn't have a clue that it was a depraved psychopath. Shrikes are the tiny sadistic horror movie villains of the itty-bitty animal world.
If they ever make an all-bird version of The Goonies, Chunk will be played by a shrike.
These birds are famous for their hunting habits: They grab their prey, carry it back to a thorny tree, find a particularly long, sharp thorn, and impale the creature on it.
But wait, it gets better.
Wikipedia Commons
Better than impalement?
To attract a mate, a male shrike will go through a ritualized dance that includes feeding the female. Aww, that's so cute. Dinner and dancing? How can that be evil? Then he'll take her back to his place and show off his "larder." This is usually a thorn bush or cactus plant decorated with the impaled corpses of small lizards, mice, snakes, insects and other birds.
Tracks & Signs
"Yeah, it's a pretty nice dead bird, I guess. Once my stock options vest I'm upgrading to a dead eagle, though."
This is what will make or break the deal for him. If the moldering carcasses aren't fresh enough or if this macabre Christmas tree doesn't have suitable ornamentation, she'll move on. "Well I can certainly see where you were trying to go with this," she says while running a critical eye over a twitching, mostly-dead lizard who can't find the will to scream anymore. "Kind of a post-modern Michael Myers with subtle hints of Leatherface thrown in. It's nice, but I'm really more of a straight Freddy Krueger gal myself."
But if the she-shrike is touched by this thorny tapestry of tears and torment, then the two take a territory to terrorize together. By the way, the shrike genus was even named Lanius, which means "Butcher." We're guessing because "serial killer" didn't translate well into Latin.

Why are the cute ones always into disemboweling?

dc:creator and such tags?
I am asking since our RSS feed has this information already, but I have not found a reader that is actually display such tags automatically. I am not looking for readers that can be configured to show any tag by editing a style sheet or similar, but readers that natively support

October 05, 2012 / Category: Hammer Strength
The 2013 Hammer Strength Clinic locations have officially been announced and with 17 locations across the U.S., it will be our largest program yet. The Hammer Strength Clinics have been a great vehicle for us to help coaches deliver the top lectures, demos, ideas, techniques and topics for discussion in the strength and conditioning profession. They have served as an unbiased forum for coaches to discuss their programming and express their feelings regarding all facets of training. Over the last 5 years we have held 36 clinics and learned a lot from the speakers and attendees.
We are excited to announce the following cities for 2013:

What is the best approach for designing a web site to run across most all modern mobile web browsers?
Is targeting WebKit based browsers enough?
What is the best approach for designing a web site to run across most all modern mobile web browsers?
Is targeting WebKit based browsers enough?
No, targeting WebKit is not enough. The first thing to do is to consider there are two segments of the mobile market: touch-based and not touch-based. This affects how you design your mobile user experience. Thankfully, the touch-based ones are going to trend significantly toward WebKit (Android, iPhone and WebOS). The others are primarily going to be IE Mobile (IE Mobile 6 on Windows Mobile 6.5 and a new one based on IE7/IE8 on Windows Phone 7) and Opera (Mobile and Mini). Refer to this list of mobile browsers on Wikipedia for more information about rendering engines and capabilities.
For touch-based platforms, a library like Sencha Touch can help you create comparable experiences across all devices, but it's going to be hard to create equal experiences across all devices. In fact, I recommend you don't try. The difference between touch and non-touch mobile platforms is becoming so big it's almost like the UX difference of trying to fit a desktop based UI onto a mobile sized screen - which works okay on touch-based platforms since they use iPhone's "zoom" paradigm - but you'll be hard-pressed to get anything useful out of that approach for older or non-touch platforms.
However, consider LukeW's article and subsequent talks on designing for mobile first, which isn't necessarily an answer to your question but can be considered as a good principle: start designing by identifying the things consumers want to do on your site, and make those things available quickly and easily. That much is consistently good design across all platforms, so in that sense you can use that as a pattern guiding your mobile design.
I made some experiments yesterday with an iPhone 3. Here is my experiences:
The term mobile is growing outside the realm of phones and beginning to include devices like tablets, which entail five to nine inch touch screens. Additionally, a mobile design should account for both horizontal and vertical orientations. On top of what neoneye said, a few more recommendations/suggestions.
If your audience can be qualified a bit more then you might be able to make some educated assumptions that most customers are using a primary device or rendering browser. Address the core needs of your primary audience first. Attempting to distribute your application across all platforms equally in the "beginning" might be too daunting a task.
Here are some helpful articles I have come across:

There are people out there who are just like me. We rarely memorize information just for the purpose of having it. We use Google to know things and we look things up as we need them. We are those people that keep a notepad handy for writing down everything so that we don't have to remember it but do know where to retrieve the information.
My question for the community is "Where can I get a custom designed notebook?" I don't mean a pocket book that has a custom cover. I am talking about choosing the number of pages dedicated to a calendar, dedicated to financial transactions, and dedicated to just normal note-taking. I would love to have something that specifically meets my recording needs and still fits in my shirt-pocket. A big thank you from all of us note-taking freaks!

Okay, this is a very serious question that's not intended to troll whatsoever, but why is everyone taking Gabe Newell's doomsday predictions about Windows 8 into even the slightest amount of consideration?
Windows 8 did not stop me from installing and running Steam (which I have right now and am currently playing CoH for the first time thanks to the HIB). So it can't be that he thinks Windows 8 won't "allow" Steam.
Is it just his assumption that Microsoft will eventually make the whole operating system locked down? If so, on what basis? It's been several revisions since OS X and iOS began to mold together, and even then OS X still does not bar you from installing apps outside the app store. So why the hell would he have reason to believe the most used operating system on the planet that got where it is by being installable on a wide range of configurations and having the ability to run a wide range of applications will suddenly and abruptly (or even gradually) lock it down to the the point where "outside" software can't be installed?
I have poured over articles about what he thinks and the strongest fear I seem to be able to find is this vague idea that soon Windows will not allow applications outside the Windows store to be installed (which in itself is quite ridiculous). Some sites even speculate that Newell means he thinks Desktop mode might be removed altogether.
He also seems scared that users will be influenced to buy from the Windows Store rather than Steam, to which my response is "What the actual fuck?" Steam users have been proven to be extremely loyal to their platform. They're not going to go "oh look, Windows Store, I should just get games from there". Does he not have even the slightest faith in his own users?
Yes, there's a Windows store. Microsoft wanted to do it at some point, and there was no better time to do so than now. When a company like Valve builds their livlihood inside someone else's kitchen, they really shouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of competition. What Valve needs to do is trust that its users (who obtained Steam by downloading it manually and installing it just as they always have been) to stick with them.
The amount of monumentally colossal backlash that would smite down upon Microsoft if they locked out external applications is far too big of a risk and Microsoft is not stupid; they are very aware of this. Until I see hard facts about how on a technical level Windows is literally preventing the installation and usage of external apps, I hate to say this, but Newell is out of his mind, and for some reason, people seem to be licking up his words as though they're the truth sent straight from god.
It seems to me that internet users tend to get so riled up by "potential outcomes" that they begin to take predictions to be reality, and that quite frankly is terrifying.

The Liberty Middle School 7th graders narrowly missed coming up with their first win of the season, falling to Kingman 33-21. LMS8 continued their pristine season, dropping the Kingmans 49-33.
Trailing only 23-20 going into the 4th quarter, and having gained some momentum during the third frame, it looked as though LMS7 might be in position to break into the winning column, but it was not to be. A cold shooting 4th quarter saw LMS7 get outscored 10-1 down the stretch to send them to yet another defeat, 33-21.
Landen Studer had a big game from his point guard spot, scoring 15 points. Elijah Gatlin added 6.
The LMS 8th graders continued to run roughshod over the opposition. Although up only 3 at halftime, the Greenbacks rode a 19-2 advantage in the 3rd quarter to another convincing victory, 49-33 over rival Kingman.
"We got off to a slow start," LMS head coach Andy Kisner commented. "I thought that might be the case after playing at a high level in our big game against St. Mark's. We came out just a little slow and not sharp mentally."
"We were sharper in the second half," Kisner continued, "And in the 3rd quarter we were able to get into transition off our press for some easy baskets." The big 3rd quarter allowed Kisner to play the bench in the 4th quarter.
The Liberty Middle Schoolers are off until after the holidays when they will finish up with a game against Colwich and then the league tourney.

In the Chinese Remainder Thm., $y_i$ is the modular inverse of $\frac{P}{p_i}$, where $p_i$ is the $i$th modulus in a set of $n$ congruencies and $P$ is $\prod_{i=1}^np_i$ (right?). So if I calculated $P$ to be 420 and $p_1=3$, why is $y_1\equiv140^{-1}\mod3 = 2$? Is $140^{-1}$ in this case not $\frac{1}{140}$? I would think $140^{-1}\mod 3$ would be a non-integer, namely $\frac{1}{140}$.
Yes, it is...but $\,1/140=1/2=2\pmod 3\,$....:)
The notation $a^{-1}$ just means the multiplicative inverse, meaning a number such that if I multiply it by $a$ I will get the multiplicative identity. So in the real numbers $a^{-1}$ just happens to be $1/a$ so when I multiply $a$ with $1/a$ then I get 1. When doing modular arithmetic, the definition of $a^{-1}$ is the same but writing it as a fraction doesn't make sense. So working modulo 3, first note that $140=2$ so $140^{-1}=2^{-1}$ and which number multiplied by 2 gives you 1 mod 3? It is 2 because 2 is its own inverse mod 3.
So $140^{-1}=2^{-1}=2$ mod 3. Some people choose to give a meaningful interpretation to fraction in modular arithmetic too so you can say 1/2 mod 3 but remember that it really means $2^{-1}$. This is what Don Antonio is doing.
140−1mod3 is not to mean 1/140mod3. I mean it is not an arithmetic inverse. Instead it is a modulo inverse. Therefore to find the modulo inverse of a number you have to follow the following 2 steps:# step 1. Calculate A * B mod C for B values 0 through C-1 step 2. The modular inverse of A mod C is the B value that makes A * B mod C = 1 Note that the term B mod C can only have an integer value 0 through C-1, so testing larger values for B is redundant.
