Are you ready to take things to a deeper level to heal from emotional pain and to experience lasting change? Sharing our struggles with another person while receiving support and encouragement can be a solid beginning to the healing process. Once greater trust and rapport is established, we can begin to face things at a deep emotional level to see where you have the most trouble and where the core pain lies. Once we can see, we have the choice to face. This takes courage and committment from both of us, but it can be done.

I use a psychodynamic approach (which focuses on one's inner life) as well a Cognitive Behavioral approach (which focuses on how thoughts, attitudes and beliefs affect feelings and behavior). I emphasize a client's strengths, because it takes courage to address one's problems. I feel that having a "good fit" with a therapist is essential for a successful outcome. My clients can be assured of objectivity and total confidentiality during sessions.

Johnson to Head Service Development at FTS
September 25, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- John Johnson has been selected as the new assistant commissioner for Service Development at General Service Administration's Federal Technology Service. Johnson replaces Bruce Brignull, who retired in July.
"I am thrilled to announce this selection," said FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates. "John Johnson comes to us with a very strong background and a wealth of experience. He will be a valuable member of our FTS Executive Team."
In this assignment Johnson will be responsible for providing project management and technical expertise on telecommunications acquisitions, defining end-to-end telecommunication service solutions to satisfy current and future business requirements of the government, implementing plans to acquire services, and ensuring that all aspects of services remain cost effective and technically sound. Recent acquisitions under this office include the development through award of the FTS2001 and Metropolitan Area Acquisitions (MAA) contracts.
Johnson comes to GSA after holding several key positions within the Department of Defense(DoD). In 1994, he co-led the strategy analysis team that identified DoD's Defense Information System Network (DISN). He subsequently served as deputy program manager for DISN until he was selected for a position in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence. While in OASD, he was responsible for DoD's telecommunications policy and oversight. He also served as the principal representative on the FTS 2000/2001 Inter-agency Management Council. In October 1998, Johnson was identified as DoD's transition manager for FTS2001.
Johnson has a Bachelors degree in Applied Behavioral Science and a Master of Science degree in National Resource Strategy. He is a graduate of the Army's Signal Officer Advanced Course, the Armed Forces Staff College, the Federal Executive Institute, and the National Defense University. He is also a member of the Defense Acquisition Corps and is a graduate of DoD's Senior Acquisition School.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by windward, Apr 26, 2004.
Who do you guys think is going to pull out tonight's game? I say the Mavs even the series up at 2
I hope you're right Wind.... I hate the kings. Let's go Daniels and Howard tear up Doug Christie and Mike "cry like a" Baby.
Of course, I've got to go with the Mavs on this one.
This is the most crucial game of the series. If the Mavs win, then they've got the momentum in the series. If they lose, then this series is over. They've only lost five at home, and this is a must-win game. Let's keep it going.
BTW, I read something interesting on ESPN's Page 2 - is Marquis Daniels playing Steve Nash out of his job? Personally, it's hard to imagine the Mavs without any of the Big Three, but if Daniels could take over at the point, possibly Dallas could do a sign and trade to acquire a real post player.
That would be real intriguing indeed
I like Nash but Daniels is very very good. Don't think he'll replace Nash but maybe in a few years it will be very possible. Plus, don't take any rumors from ESPN serious. As if you didn't already know that.
Mavs do what they do best.....Choke. Dang, i'm not even a fan of theirs and their repeated ability to choke under pressure and their pathetic defense gets me upset.
It wasn't always like this (the choking - not the defense ).
The past few years they've been known for being road warriors and their improbable 4th quarter comebacks. Like in the first year they returned to the playoffs, in 2001, they came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the opening round series against Utah.
But now, in addition to having no defense, they've lost their guts.
Hopefully they'll be making some big changes in the offseason, i.e. trading Antoine Walker, Steve Nash, and Antawn Jamison for a new PG, some young post players, and salary cap space.
Exactly, I hated the trades for Jamison and Walker when they were made, and I hate them now. I also wouldn't be shocked if Nellie gets canned after the season too. This team has too much talent not too be contending for the NBA title
I could definitely see Cuban firing Don Nelson if/when the Mavs get ousted by the Kings, although I wouldn't agree with it. Sports franchises are too trigger-happy these days. I would like to see Nelson finish out his contract, or at least have one more season with a new group of guys.
The Mavs underachieved this year, but you can't blame Nelson alone because they are not the same team they were last year. They have bigger names and more shooters, but at the expense of gritty and scrappy players like Adrian Griffin and Raja Bell that made the little differences in each game (and played defense!). All they have now like that is Eduarda Najera.
But while we are not, IMHO, a better team because of those trades, I don't necessarily think those were bad moves. Like the Cowboys, I think the Mavs sacrificed title contention this year in order to make a push in the next couple of years, while still remaining competitive in the short term.
Trading LaFrentz and Van Exel for Walker and Jamison is a no-brainer move, as the latter two have much higher trade value - provided we are able to parlay them into something better. Walker is entering the last year on his contract, Nash is a free agent, and Jamison may work a deal to go to Charlotte (for the #4 pick, please? ). Hey, I can dream.
mondays game was a really good game.
the mavs can't seem to get over the top, they've got the talent there with nash, and nowitzki, but they can never beat the team with a good inside game, even if they beat the kings, there was no way they would beat the lakers or spurs.
then again, neither can the kings, but they will have a better chance. kings are slightly better inside.
the two rookies the mavs have are good, howard and daniels right? the mavs need a true center, then they can compete.
the kings signing brad miller was one of the better off season moves that was overshadowed by the lakers moves and the mavs moves. miller gives the kings the inside force they havent had before (sorry vlade).
go kings!!!!!
The two moves that I believe doomed the Mavs this offseason were:
(1) pursuing Alonzo Mourning instead of Karl Malone
(2) losing out in the sign and trade for Brad Miller
A line-up of Nash, Finley, Dirk, Malone, and Miller would be vastly improved inside the paint, with reserves Howard, Daniels, Najera, and Jamison (if they could have acquired and kept him).
I hate the mavs.....
Arghh..... I really wanted Malone. Oh well, at least with Cuban we know we have an owner who's passionat about winning, just like Jerry Jones.
And at any rate being a Mavs fan now i better than it was in the 90's
Well don't hold back.
Tell us how you really feel.
Most definitely. It's just frustrating now when they're so close to going over the top...yet always fall short.
I guess it's punishment for being born so late and missing out in the late 60s and early 70s when the Cowboys were known as "Next Year's Champions".

'The problem for the NHL is that the value of the Sabres – already a struggling small-market team – is inextricably linked to Adelphia through loan guarantees and broadcast deals. No Adelphia, no Sabres, say financial experts. Hockey sources say it's unlikely another local buyer could step up to buy the club should the auditors and the markets sink Adelphia. Wither Buffalo in that scenario? On to Portland? (Paul Allen has had plenty of chances to buy into the NHL and has passed.) Houston? Milwaukee? Las Vegas? Rancho Cucamonga?'

- Compass
- Scissors
- Extra-long straight pins
- Wire cutters
- Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Cut and discard 1/4"-thick lengthwise slice from each foam egg. Cut and discard thin slice from one side of each foam ball.
- Use compass to draw seven each of following circles on wrong side of plush felt: 4"; 3"; 1". Cut circles and patterns from felt as indicated. For wings, cut 4" circles in half. In addition, cut two 1-1/2" x 12" strips and one 6" circle from white craft felt.
- To make base, glue 1-1/2"-wide felt strips to edges of foam wreath. Glue 6" circle to bottom of wreath. Glue 3" foam ball, flat side down, inside center of wreath. Set aside.
- Place eggs, flat side down, on wrong side of remaining plush felt. Draw a line around each egg, 2" larger than foam. Trace second set of eggs, drawing line at foam edge. Cut out pieces, cutting smaller eggs just inside traced lines.
- To cover eggs (bodies), center eggs, rounded side down, on larger plush pieces cut in Step 4. Bring felt up to flat side. Pin felt at four opposite points; gather excess between pins. Glue felt to foam; let dry. Remove pins. Trim excess felt. Glue smaller plush pieces to flat sides of eggs.

- Glue bill pieces together in pairs, making 14 upper/lower bills. Glue one upper and one lower bill to each duck, curving slightly to meet at outer edges. Note: When gluing bottom bills to face, pinch some tight in center for a different expression. Use cotton-tipped swab to blush cheeks, if desired.
- For wings, glue each 4" half-circle in half, with right side out. With rounded edge of wing toward narrow end (tail) and shorter straight edge of wing toward wide end (shoulders) of body, glue wings 1-1/2" apart to bodies. Wings will stand out slightly; glue tips to body.
- Tip body so tail end is slightly raised from work surface. Using photo as guide, glue head to body. Glue feet to bottom of body, angled slightly outward. Note: If duck tips backward, wreath will keep it in place. Repeat for all ducks. Glue duck bottoms side-by-side to top edge of wreath.
- Use wire cutters to cut apart daisy bush. Insert stems into ball at center of wreath. Fill in arrangement with extra leaves.
- Cut satin ribbon into 12" lengths. Tie two lengths of same color into bow around each duck's neck, alternating colors.
- Tie paper ribbon into bow. Wrap bow center with wire and insert into flowers.

Most of the people have crowded teeth, so do. But do everyone build up the same amount of tartar? And is crowded teeth is the reason for gum inflammation? Will the alignment of teeth cure the gum inflammation? I don't know if it's gingivitis or not but gums are inflated. And the doc didn't say much as she just advice me to go for braces.
Hello Lybrate user, in case of crowded teeth, it is difficult to brush which results in more tartar deposition compared to well alligned teeth. Deposited tartar or plaque gradually results in inflammation of gums i.e gingivitis. Yes allignment of teeth with the help of braces will make those teeth easily cleansable with the brush and less chances of inflammation.

28 years old female from Delhi asked
I have swollen gum on the right inside the roof of the mouth. My dentist told that it is a gum infection (Gingivitis) because I was also having mild fever. She did my teeth cleaning yesterday and prescribed some antibiotics (satrogyl), Pantadom SR, oral gel and a mouthwash. Also, I am hypothyroid and have IBS related issues. I am just concerned because I do not want to take antibiotics or any other medicine apart from gel and mouthwash. Is antibiotic really required after a teeth cleaning?

BDS (Gold Medalist)
Dentist, Gurgaon
Hi lybrate-user! Well your symptoms suggest that you suffer from Pericoronitis, which means that the gum tissues around your wisdom teeth become inflamed, on and off. It's very common with the youngsters these days as the nature is slowly eliminating the not quite used wisdom teeth as part of an evolutionary process, because our diets have become too refined, so there's not much use of extra teeth to chew the food. You should not panic and immediately visit a dentist for the check-up. He would take an X-Ray of the affected tooth and will suggest you the remedy, most probably being a "painless" extraction of the tooth. Meanwhile, just try to maintain a good oral hygiene and occasionally rinse mouth with lukewarm water with a pinch of salt added to it. It serves as a natural mouthwash. Private consult's welcome. Take Care!
20 years old male from Delhi asked
Sir I am 20 years old man mere teeth se blood aate rahta hai what can I do for stop to come out blood from my teeth please tell any home made medicine or other medicine.
Hello Lybrate user, bleeding from gums suggests inflammation i.e infection of gums and the medical term for this is gingivitis. Now the treatment of this condition is removal of soft and hard deposits from your teeth, but before that the level of infection is reduced by antibiotics. In your case since you want a home remedy I will suggest lukewarm saline rinse. This will reduce the severity of condition but you need to visit a dentist for the permanent treatment which is in your case ultrasonic scaling and polishing. A regular mouthwash can also be helpful. Also brushing twice daily is must.
25 years old male from Delhi asked
Sir tell me any ayurvedic mouth freshener bcz dentist gave me antibacterial mouth wash Wash mouth with boiled 5 leafs of guava, is beneficial? And I chew 4 leaves of neem daily and 2 leaves of guava am I right sir or should I not do this.
Ayurveda, Pune
As you tell according to that their is infection in your mouth. So daily gargal and hold water in mouth with decoction of neem and guava leave and haldi. After that take in small amount lavang+elayachi churn hold in mouth 2-3 minutes after saliva secretion swallow it and take water.
27 years old female from Mumbai asked
How painful is wisdom tooth extraction. I have an upper left wisdom tooth extraction. Does it hurt even after anaesthesia. Can you advice anything that can calm me down during and after the process. I have never been to a doctor in my life. Really scared been putting it off since close to 2 years now. It's a hidden under gums condition. Does it hurt after -the gums cutting and any hidden risks. Please help.
21 years old female from Hyderabad asked
How much it COSTS for filling the small gaps between teeth? I have cap for one teeth on left side due to the shaping of teeth on right side im eating on left side coz im nt fixed with temporary cap. The problem is when im eating it sticks in the gap between the teeth which already have cap and the other and im feeling little bit pain of teeth which having cap. Whats the REASON for the PAIN of teeth having cap? And if cap is fixed is there any chance to occurrence of gap between the teeth?
Once the cap is fixed there will not be any space. Its advised to cap your teeth as soon as possibe. Pain in already capped teeth could be of accumulation of food debris that need to be cleaned and the teeth should be checked for any other infections. Cost of fillling vary according to the material placed and nature of the treatment. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment.
year old male from Delhi asked
I have undergone wisdom teeth surgery on left side and my two teeth from upper and lower side are removed with no stitches on 15 July. When can I return to normal solid food. I have no pain as well. please zzz tell.
You can take a normal solid food from now on. It is advisable to gargle with the mouthwashes after every meal. DENTAL TIPS: - Visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

(written from a Production point of view)
In an attempt to find new ways to satisfy their predatory instincts, the Hirogen alter the memories of the Voyager crew and force them into violent holodeck simulations, partially re-creating World War II.
Captain Kathryn Janeway, altered to look like a Klingon, battles several other Klingons. A Hirogen, also dressed in Klingon garb, interrupts the battle and stabs her. Using a Starfleet combadge, he calls sickbay to tell them that Janeway needs medical attention.
USS Voyager has been hijacked by the Hirogen and they are using the holodecks to hunt the crew in various simulations with the safety protocols deactivated. While half of the crew have been imprisoned, others have been fitted with a neural interface that makes them believe they actually are the characters in the holodeck program. The Hirogen hunt the Voyager crew over and over again in various simulations. The wounded are treated in sickbay and then sent back to the holodeck to be hunted again.
When Janeway (as a Klingon character) is stabbed on Holodeck 2, the holodeck is running a Klingon battle simulation, while Holodeck 1 is running a World War II simulation. After she is treated in sickbay, she is sent to the World War II simulation.
Janeway, Seven of Nine, Neelix, Lieutenant Commander Tuvok and Lt. jg B'Elanna Torres are put in a simulation of the Nazi occupation of Sainte Claire, France. They are running a café, Le Coeur de Lion, but are secretly working for the French Resistance, while the Hirogen are working alongside the Nazis. Seven of Nine, or Mademoiselle de Neuf as she is called in the simulation, is a lounge singer, Janeway, or Katrine, is the café owner, and Tuvok is the bartender.
The first scene of the French simulation begins with Seven singing "It Can't Be Wrong". (Listen to Seven sing "It Can't Be Wrong"file info) The Alpha Hirogen, Karr and Beta Hirogen, Turanj visit the café, both dressed in Nazi uniform. Karr's character is of a Nazi Standartenführer, newly assigned to oversee the city's occupation...... mentioned to'd worked under Rommel in Africa and Schmidt in Poland. Turanj is eager to hunt and destroy the Voyager crew as prey, but Karr tells him to "play the game".
When the café is closed, it serves as a secret base for the Resistance. Janeway is the leader of the Resistance cell in Sainte Claire. B'Elanna Torres, or Brigitte, is responsible for decoding messages from the Allies. She is pregnant with the baby of a Nazi Kapitän, with whom she is involved in a romantic relationship in order to gather information for the Resistance. Neelix serves as a courier for the Resistance.
The Resistance deciphers a radio message telling them that the Allied forces will arrive within days and they must assist by disabling the Nazi's communications.
Turanj gets dissatisfied with "playing the game" and ends up shooting Seven and Neelix. They are taken to sickbay, where The Doctor is asked to attend to their injuries. He insists that they stop these brutalities because the bodies of the crew have not been designed for this kind of punishment. "For the past three weeks," says The Doctor, "they have been stabbed, shot, beaten, phasered and bat'lethed" after which he is forced to attend to them just so they can be sent back for more. The Hirogen however, refuse to listen, even when The Doctor asks that they at least activate the holodeck safety protocols. It is decided that Neelix is to be sent to the Klingon simulation, and Seven back to the World War II simulation after their wounds have been treated.
Back on the bridge, the Hirogen are forcing Ensign Harry Kim (one of the few remaining crew not to have been sent into the holodeck or locked away) to expand the holodeck grids so that they can expand the holo-projectors into all surrounding sections. When they are working on a corridor, while another crew member distracts one of the Hirogen guards, Kim manages to transfer The Doctor out of sickbay (with newly installed holoemitters in the corridor) and tell him about his plan to get the crew back. Before they can begin to recover the crew they need to disable the neural interfaces. He has found a way to tap into the sickbay diagnostic console but somebody has got to be inside the holodeck to engage the bridge control relays. They decide to use Seven's help for this task.
In the ready room, Karr tells Turanj that he has been studying Voyager's database looking for their next simulation. He tells him that there are many to chose from because Humans have a violent history. When World War II is over, he plans to engage the Borg by recreating a notorious battle known as Wolf 359. However, this will be one hunt Turanj will never see if he continues to disobey him. Karr tells him that his lust for the kill has blinded him, like it has blinded many young hunters. He tells Turanj that if the younger hunters took the time to study their prey, to understand its behavior, they might learn something because each prey exposes them to another way of life while at the same time making them re-evaluate their own. He wonders what will become of the Hirogen when they have hunted this territory to exhaustion: a way of life that hasn't changed in a thousand years. He complains that they have lost their identity, that they have allowed their predatory instincts to dominate them – turning them into a solitary race, isolated, no longer a culture. He insists that their people must come back together, combine forces and rebuild their civilization. Karr believes the hunt will always continue but in a new way, for he intends to transform this ship into a vast simulation, eventually replicating the technology which will allow them to hold on to their past while they face the future. Turanj is convinced that Karr is right, albeit very reluctantly, for he knows that others might not agree with Karr's assessment.
In sickbay, The Doctor manages to wake Seven, explaining to her that he has found a way to disable the interface by remodulating one of her Borg implants to emit a jamming signal to interfere with her neural interface implant. Once she is back on the holodeck, the jamming signal will activate within seconds at which moment she must find the control panel inside the holodeck and engage the bridge access relays so he and Kim can deactivate all the neural interfaces.
Back in the World War II simulation, Seven is singing "That Old Black Magic" on stage, when the jamming signal activates. At that moment she quickly excuses herself and gets off the stage. Since her character has shown resistance to Janeway in the past, suspicions that she is a Nazi sympathizer now come to a head with her new unwillingness to continue to sing while Janeway pumps the commandant (Karr) for information.
The French Resistance plan to infiltrate the Nazi headquarters to disable the Nazi's communications and Seven assists them. While Seven and Janeway are inside, Tuvok stays hidden outside and sees some Hirogen approaching. This group of Hirogen are not in Nazi uniforms but are equipped with their Hirogen armor and weapons. Tuvok attacks them to keep them from discovering Seven and Janeway inside.
As the Allied troops arrive in Sainte Claire, with Chakotay as Captain Miller and Tom Paris as Lieutenant Bobby Davis (who has been to Sainte Claire before the war and was involved with Brigitte), Janeway reaches the radio transmitter, planning to blow it up (which happens to be next to the wall where the bridge interface is). Seven is attempting to access the bridge interface, as Janeway (still in character) picks up the headphones and attempts to decipher the Nazi communications. Janeway notices Seven has not yet planted the charges and sees her accessing the interface but doesn't know what it is. She thinks this proves Seven is a traitor and has been sending messages to the Nazis. She points her pistol at Seven but when she is about to pull the trigger, Janeway's interface is disabled, just as artillery barrages create a simulated explosion, blowing a hole in the holodeck wall. The Voyager characters do not know what to make of it because the program is still running. Seven and Janeway escape through the hole and the troops begin charging into the "Nazi bunker", taking the war to the rest of the ship.

Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- As evidenced by the final draft of this episode's script, this installment had the working title "Wargame".
- Writer/producer Joe Menosky had the original idea for this episode, having been affected by his experience of having repeatedly seen – while living and working in Europe – televised footage of the Second World War that was profuse there. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87) The plot concept was one of the first ideas that Menosky revealed to his fellow writing staffers on Star Trek: Voyager, upon returning to work on Star Trek from abroad. (Star Trek Monthly issue 39, p. 12) He remembered, "When I got back from Europe, I wanted to do a World War II show [....] I thought it would be real cool to do a World War II episode with our characters, and have a little French town and tanks and our people in GI uniforms." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87) Menosky proposed this idea in 1996. Neither he nor Voyager's other staff writers could find a way of making the plot concept work. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87; Star Trek Monthly issue 39, p. 13) "We just never knew how to work it," Menosky admitted. "In the back of our minds, we figured it would be an arena-like story where a powerful alien race tosses us and somebody else down into a World War II scenario. We have to fight it out, like when a little kid throws red ants and black ants together and watches the results." This initial concept stayed on hold for a long time. (Star Trek Monthly issue 39, p. 13)
- The war-related idea was reconsidered after the Hirogen were conceived. Joe Menosky recollected, "Once we had the Hirogen, that seemed like a good time to resurrect this World War II thing." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87) The story was then added to by co-executive producer Brannon Braga, when he conceived of an idea that he thought was "cool" – having aliens in Nazi German uniforms. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87; Star Trek Monthly issue 39, p. 13) Subsequently, the Hirogen were used to fill this role. Menosky commented, "I think [Braga's input is] what led to the idea of using these Hunters in that regard." (Star Trek Monthly issue 39, p. 13)
- The specifics of how the characters would be transported into the World War II setting still had to be devised. "So, we were struggling with how this was going to happen," Joe Menosky related. "In my original story, I had the Hunters have a kind of hunting scenario planet. It was like a planetary Holodeck, and we found ourselves down in a simulation because they drove us there. But in working out the story, when we were all together as a staff team, Ken Biller came up with the idea that it was on our own Holodeck." (Star Trek Monthly issue 39, pp. 13-14) Menosky also stated, "Ken Biller had the good idea of putting it on a holodeck, and making this the big holodeck episode of the year. That was the last key to get things rolling in terms of actually starting to write an episode." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87)
- Beginning to pen the script for this episode, the writer/producers decided to start the episode's storyline with the starship Voyager having already been invaded by the Hirogen. Joe Menosky remembered, "We cut right to the action, didn't deal with the takeover of our ship, and got right into this holodeck story." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87)
- It was while scripting this episode that the writers began to create the character of the Alpha Hirogen known as Karr, whose motives were used as thematic material for the two-parter. "A lot of times, strangely enough (and this happened in The Year of Hell [two-parter], as well), you don't get the bigger theme until you've actually progressed with the plot, despite the fact that the theme might hold everything together," Joe Menosky observed. "And in this case, through not only working out the story, but even the script of part one, Brannon and I arrived at the notion that one member of these Hunter aliens was starting to question the way his society behaved in terms of hunting and killing the species around them and what that would lead to. [It was] a metaphor for exhausting your resources." (Star Trek Monthly issue 39, p. 14) The writers recognized that such a notion had far-reaching consequences, such as imbuing Karr with a more life-like personality. Menosky offered, "Once we came up with that character thread, that this guy was using the holodeck to explore ways in which he might change this destructive hunting dynamic of his people, then suddenly that gives a bad guy some depth." Brannon Braga concurred, "The Hirogen were not just the 'Hunter' villains. With any luck we managed to dimensionalize them a little bit more and say something about culture. It was more than just aliens in Nazi uniforms, I hope." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87)
- The exploding building near the end of this episode was thought up by Brannon Braga. He noted, "I always wanted to explode a building on Star Trek, and [had] never quite figured out how to do it." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87)
- In this episode's shooting script, Janeway's holographic persona goes by the name Genevieve. (Star Trek: Voyager Companion, p. 232) This is possibly an inside joke referring to Genevieve Bujold, the actress who was initially selected to portray the role of Voyager's captain. The name of Janeway's World War II character changed, thereafter, to Katrine.
- Brigitte's pregnancy was influenced by actress Roxann Dawson's real-life pregnancy. "They worked that into the script," Dawson noted, "so that the character I played – in the alternate universe, basically – was pregnant." (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD)
- The fact that Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky were not, at this point in the series, particularly interested in the character of Harry Kim inspired their decision to make him the only main character who does not participate in the holographic wargames of this episode's two-parter, a role that had to be accentuated in order to fill up the story. "We stuck his ass on the bridge," said Menosky, blatantly, "and we just didn't care [....] We ended up being short in that episode. Because the World War II sets had been struck, and it was elaborate amounts of costume to do anything in the period anyway, we were stuck with a few minutes of scenes we had to write, and no one but Ensign Kim." Menosky also commented that "no other character could have been used" in the same way as the brutalized Kim is, here. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 41)
- Brannon Braga enjoyed trying to make the Nazis historically accurate. "We really tried," he said. "Joe Menosky was a big help with this, because he's really knowledgeable about historical things [....] It was fun to explore [although] it wasn't an episode about Nazism per se." (Star Trek Monthly issue 44, p. 12)
- The final draft of the episode's script was submitted on 18 November 1997. [1]
- In the episode it was stated that Karr's character had "served with Rommel in North Africa and Schmidt in Poland". The former was a bit incongruous however, as no SS unit had, historically at least, served under Rommel in Africa. Assuming that Rommel was the character's last assignment, then the St. Clair simulation can be placed in the 1943-1944 time period, as the Germans were defeated in North Africa in May 1943.
Cast and characters Edit
- Being much more used to performing in classical theater elsewhere in the United States of America, actor J. Paul Boehmer classed this episode as "my first job in LA" and "my first job on television." (Star Trek Monthly issue 46, pp. 70 & 71) Having been a keen viewer of Star Trek since his childhood, however, Boehmer was thrilled to be cast in the role of the unnamed Kapitän here. "I've followed it from the original series, so it was really cool to finally get to be on it," he admitted. "Getting the opportunity to work is always great, but getting the chance to work on a show that you've loved since you were five is a blast. I was walking on cloud nine for months." (Star Trek Monthly issue 46, p. 70)
- J. Paul Boehmer found that his past in classical theater helped him with his pronunciations of his character's technical dialogue here, which he nevertheless thought was "hard to say" and "hard to memorize." Furthermore, the actor brought an historical understanding to his role of the Nazi Kapitän, aware of the pressures that such a person would actually have been under. "The Kapitan is participating in what was a really powerful movement at the time," Boehmer mused. "At the time at which the program is set, the Nazis were losing, and the leadership was pushing even harder for them to win." Such retrospection was important to Boehmer, as he was presented with the challenge of trying to find a moral root in a character that may outwardly seem archetypally villainous. "It's interesting, because it starts out as a love story for these two. [B'Elanna's character] has plans because she's part of the resistance, but my take on it when I played the character was that he was truly in love with her. He doesn't know she is in the resistance, and he would do anything for her." (Star Trek Monthly issue 46, p. 71)
- Director David Livingston was pleased with this installment's selection of guest stars. He opined, "We had a wonderful guest cast." (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD)
- Much to their surprise, Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky became delighted by this episode's depiction of Harry Kim, a development that Menosky referred to as "a really interesting thing." He went on to say, "Because [Kim] was messed up, because these [Hirogen] guys had been smacking him around, and he was rebellious but he still had to knuckle under, we saw this other side of Kim. It was a tough side of him that we had never seen before, and we really liked. That takes everybody by surprise, no one more so than us. You see him in dailies, and you see him in the episode, and you go, 'That's cool.'" (Cinefantastique, Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 41)
- Kim actor Garrett Wang was unhappy that he felt this was one of several important episodes that he seemed to miss out on, although Joe Menosky felt differently. "In some ways, Garrett was the perfect person for that episode," Menosky stated. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 31, No. 11, pp. 40-41)
- As Roxann Dawson's pregnancy had been written as a facet of the holodeck persona Brigitte, Dawson was relieved that she didn't have to hide her body while filming this arc. "I was able to let it all hang out there," the actress laughed. "We didn't have to hide it." (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD) Dawson also remarked that not having to cover up her pregnancy, on screen, was "a lot of fun." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 94)
- For the scene of this episode in which Neelix thinks he is one of the Klingons (as well as for many scenes of the second half of the two-parter), Neelix actor Ethan Phillips had to endure not only his usual Talaxian prosthetics but also Klingon makeup over that. "That was... hell, because not only did I have to have the Talaxian makeup, then I've gotta have Klingon make-up on over it," Phillips recalled. "I mean, forget it! That's a lotta rubber. It's hot with that make-up on, but this was like I was in a sauna. I felt like I was [in] an oven." Other than this discomfort, Phillips enjoyed his turn as a Klingon. (VOY Season 4 DVD easter egg)
- By the time she came to appear in this episode, Seven of Nine actress Jeri Ryan had become extremely stressed and exhausted. "I was sick with something almost every day of my first season – colds, sinus infections, bronchitis – and getting only four hours of sleep a night because of the schedule, so by the time we got to this really grueling, complicated two-parter set in World War II, I was totally wiped," Ryan explained. (TV Week magazine (Canada) of May 8-14, 1999, pp. 6-7, 9 from "Super Moms", an interview by Michael Logan) The actress nevertheless enjoyed this episode's two-parter, citing it as one of her personal highlights from the entirety of Voyager's fourth season. "Of course, 'The Killing Game' was just a riot," she enthused. "I got to play Seven as a totally different person. I got to step out of the corset and the cat suit for a while." Ryan also liked the location work involved in the making of the two-parter. (Star Trek Monthly issue 40, p. 35) She did her own singing for this episode.
- David Livingston likened the identity that Janeway dons throughout much of the episode, Katrine, to Humphrey Bogart; specifically, Livingston described Katrine as "Janeway playing Humphrey Bogart, basically, with a white tuxedo." (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD)
Production Edit
- Upon starting the filming of this episode, the production crew were tired out. "When Joe and I wrote the two-parter," Brannon Braga remembered, "the production team was exhausted. They'd just done 'Year of Hell' and 'Prey' and the other blockbusters. How in the world were we going to pull off this World War II epic?" (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 87) Elaborating on the confusion of how the group would manage to create this episode's two-parter, Braga reflected, "Nazis, aliens dressed as Nazis, Humans and Klingons – all together in a European, small French village. And it [...] just seemed impossible. How could we produce that, with machine guns and phasers?!" (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD)
- Filming for the two-parter covered late November-early December 1997. The teaser sequence of this installment was shot on Paramount Stage 16 on 24 November 1997 and involved Director of Photography Marvin V. Rush using a tape measure, when preparing to film footage of the Klingon-looking Janeway, in order to keep a hand-held camera at the suitable focal length for the desired focus and frame. The Sainte Claire exteriors of the two-parter were filmed over three days, including 5 December 1997, at Universal Studios' "European Street" backlot. (Star Trek Magazine issue 143) The exteriors that were shot during this period of location filming included the outside of a building that served as Sainte Claire's Nazi headquarters, for which – on instruction from set decorator James Mees – Nazi swastika flags were especially created. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 88) The location shoot was generally enjoyable for the cast and crew. Roxann Dawson noted, "It was a great thing for us to be able to go out." (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD) Jeri Ryan also regarded the opportunity to go on location as "great." (Star Trek Monthly issue 40, p. 35)
- During a break from filming some of the footage that features her as Mademoiselle de Neuf, Jeri Ryan stepped off the set, shod her spiked, high-heeled footwear and donned a robe before sitting down for an interview with Cinefantastique. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 76)
- The Hirogen-decorated version of the captain's ready room in this episode features numerous weapons. In fact, according to the unauthorized reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 228), this was "almost the whole stock of prop weapons."
- The shooting of this episode included some bluescreen filming of Janeway actress Kate Mulgrew and Seven actress Jeri Ryan, for the sequence depicting the destruction of the Nazi headquarters building. Ronald B. Moore, the visual effects supervisor on this episode, recalled, "We put up a big bluescreen, and they [ran], one on each side of the camera. They just [came] up to the camera and [dived]." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 88)
- J. Paul Boehmer enjoyed working with David Livingston on this episode, as well as with Victor Lobl on the two-parter's concluding half, and found both directors to be extremely helpful. The actor enthused, "The directors were very much aligned on what they wanted from the individual episodes. Both of them were very good at seeing where the thrust of the piece needed to go. I had a pretty clear vision of what it needed to be, too, so it was pretty easy to move that forward. They were terrific to work with, both of them. They were very supportive, very helpful." Boehmer concluded that he also found both directors to be "really great to [him]" about the fact that the two-parter was his first acting job in television work. (Star Trek Monthly issue 46, p. 71) A long-time Star Trek director, David Livingston himself was thrilled to direct this installment. "'The Killing Game' is my favorite Star Trek episode that I've been able to direct," he raved, "because it had everything in it." After explaining that he was referring to the episode's unusual setting and variation of characters, Livingston continued, "They threw everything into it. I had the best time doing that episode, because it just had so much stuff in it." (Braving the Unknown: Season Four, VOY Season 4 DVD)
Effects Edit
- Ronald B. Moore described the destruction of Nazi headquarters in this episode as "probably one of the biggest [effects] that we've ever done on any [televised] Star Trek." To create this effect, Vision Crew Unlimited created a seven foot replica of the building. According to Ron Moore, Thane Morris – a pyro technician in the employ of Vision Crew – "helped get the design of the building right." The same people who created the swastika flags for the exterior of the full-scale building replicated them, again in accordance with instructions from James Mees, at one-fifth scale. Mees then provided Moore with the flags, before the building was set to destruct. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 88)
- To film the model exploding, a trio of high-speed cameras was utilized; two of these cameras ran at 360 frames per second, while a third ran at 120 frames per second. Additionally, the model and the full-size building were lit alike, for the sequence. Ron Moore remembered, "[Marvin V. Rush] was able to match the lighting on the model. I transferred it, and then cut things together." In Moore's estimation, the mixture of footage of both the miniature and the full-size building was highly effective. "You can't tell [the difference]," he reckoned. "The model is up there and most people see it and think it is the real building." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 88) Brannon Braga, for one, was thrilled with the explosion. "Of course, it was just a model," he remarked, "but it was great!" (Star Trek Monthly issue 44, p. 12)
- It was after the explosion was filmed and edited together that the bluescreen footage of Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan, running and diving, was filmed. The final edit of the sequence involves a shot of Janeway and Seven exiting the building and running towards the camera, two quick shots of the miniature blowing up and a final shot showing the pair of women diving out of sight, backdropped by more footage of the exploding model. Initially, however, Ron Moore was somewhat worried about how the final edit would look. He took his concerns to executive producer Rick Berman. "[I] said, 'I really think the people are going to cover the explosion up a little bit,'" Moore recounted. "'You've got two quick cuts when they are not there, and then suddenly they pop on.' Berman said, 'I don't care if it covers up the explosion.'" In the end, Moore found that he indeed need not have worried. "I did a rough roto around [the two actresses], and put them over the explosion. I had to shift their sync a little bit, so they were together as they went. It worked beautifully. Berman was right." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 88)
- The breach in the holodeck, created by the explosion, was modeled entirely in CGI by Digital Muse. Mitch Suskin, who served as visual effects supervisor on the concluding half of the two-parter, commented, "Greg Rainoff (at Digital Muse) created the whole blend between the holodeck and the Voyager piece, with the flashing of the lights at the edge. It actually played a lot better once we had all the elements together." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 88)
Reception and aftermath Edit
- This episode aired back-to-back with "The Killing Game, Part II" on its first airing. Even though these two episodes were originally intended to initially air on two separate nights, the decision to first broadcast both parts on the same night as each other was made by UPN, surprising the producers. Brannon Braga commented, "It was actually their idea. We planned it as a two part episode, and it was their idea to air it on the same night as a Voyager movie of sorts." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 89) Indeed, it was also originally planned that the two parts would first air as a single, feature-length edition (and promotional trailers for the episodes advertised them as such). However, these plans did not materialize, and each episode aired as a separate entity. A feature-length version was broadcast by the BBC on its first airing on 5 September 1999, and formed part of the UK VHS release Star Trek: Voyager - Movies.
- The way in which the two-parter originally aired was a Star Trek first, because – although there had been feature-length episodes in the past (with Star Trek: Voyager's own pilot episode, "Caretaker", included among them) – this was the first time when both halves of a two-parter aired on a single night. Tuvok actor Tim Russ noted, "Again, here we go with defying convention, breaking the rules once in a while. That's what keeps people interested." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 100)
- Both Brannon Braga and Tim Russ were ultimately happy with the ratings of the "Killing Game" two-parter, as well as the fact that both segments of the two-parter were first aired on the same night as each other. Russ observed, "I think it was received quite well [....] To put on a two-hour show like that in one night was just great." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 100) Similarly, Braga said, "It really worked out well. The ratings were quite good." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 89) In fact, this episode achieved a Nielsen rating of 4.3 million homes, and a 7% share. [2](X) The two-parter also ranked number 89, well above numerous series on the television network ABC. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 89)
- This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series.
- Cinefantastique rated this episode 3 out of 4 stars. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 101)
- Star Trek Monthly scored this episode 5 out of 5 stars. (Star Trek Monthly issue 43, p. 57)
- The unauthorized reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 230) gives the installment a rating of 9 out of 10.
- The success of this two-parter's first airing influenced two-hour, feature-length episodes in subsequent seasons. (Beyond the Final Frontier, p. 316) The first of these was "Dark Frontier", of whose development Joe Menosky said, "Because of the success of airing 'The Killing Game' in a single night, the network and the studio were really interested in doing a Voyager movie, a two-part episode that was aired on a single evening." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 32)
- The success of how this installment depicts Harry Kim influenced the character to be featured in the anniversary episode "Timeless". "In a funny way, the future Kim in 'Timeless' was directly inspired by the belted-around Kim and edgy Kim from 'The Killing Game'," explained Joe Menosky. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 41)
Continuity and trivia Edit
- This is the fourth mention of Nazi Germany in Star Trek. The Nazis first appeared in TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever" and "Patterns of Force". Also, Captain Kirk references "Earth, Hitler, 1938" in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, in reply to General Chang's comment of "We need breathing room."

Cool it works like a dream
hahahaha nice thread but let's be honest, iOS 4 multitasking FAILS, no need to sugar coat it. The ONLY app that makes iOS 4 multi-tasking actually function well is MultiCleaner, PERIOD! Other than that you're just better off DISABLING that crap. With multicleaner you can make multi-tasking work the way that Crapple should have made it work which is when you're inside an app....
One Tap Home = Close App
Short Hold Home = Minimize App
I mean honestly what kinda MORONS over there are Crapple was in charge of the multi-tasking feature and just decided "let's just make it background EVERYTHING"?? Boy and people try to say that Microsoft does dumb crap, I can't tell
Nuff said!!
I think a pop-up window asking, "Are you sure you want to close all running apps?" would be the best solution.
How 'bout a tweak where something like a three finger scroll down minimizes apps while tapping the home button closes them?
Ooooohhh...I have it! How 'bout dragging the skull across the multitasking switchbar thing? As an extra bonus it could open and close its mouth eating the apps!
This is such a fail go get SwitherPlus
Stop bashing the dev
Go make something better than come back
Show some respect guys
U don't like it. Dont say anything
I'm sure the Dev really doesn't care much. It was a learning experience for him.
What have u learned how to be a bigger ***?
Enjoy the free tweak or don't.
No need to ruin it for others

While visiting afternoon TV Queen Ellen DeGeneres, Nicki Minaj got CALLED OUT by Ellen about some extremely racy pics she posted to her Instagram. Previously that Nicki uploaded a photo of herself wearing nothing but a jacket with a BARELY COVERED CHEST.
Ellen joked that Nicki could borrow a bra if she didn't have one, but Miss Minaj refused the offer by saying, "I don't like bras. Bras are like the devil."
OKAAYYY Nicki... your knockers are pretty big! Maybe this affliction to boobie holders isn't in your best interest!

Gluten free french fries made from real potatoes in a gluten free fryer!! Delicious!
They are very keyed into making sure everyone handling the order knows there is a food allergy issue. They give me confidence no mistake is made.
1020 Shiloh Crossing Blvd, Billings, MT 59102
They cook burgers or hot dogs away from buns and will be very careful if asked. Fries are g-free and not cooked with any shared oil. I get my burger without a bun or wrapped.
2319 Hanover Pike, Hampstead, MD 21074
The food was very good and well prepared. I am very sensitive to gluten and did not get sick. The fries are done in a dedicated fryer and are cut fresh, so no gluten. The cashier was well versed on gluten free. They don't have gluten free buns, but you can get burger in lettuce wrap or bowl.
2445 Truxtun Road, San Diego, CA 92106
Not Celiac Friendly especially during lunch rush hour. But, if caught early they do offer lettuce wrapped or burger in a bowl (which was really good).
4299 Burbank Rd, Wooster, OH 44691
Very nice and careful with my food.
7814 Main Street North, Maple Grove, MN 55369
Get the cajun fries!! The fries are safe as they are the only things fried in the fryer. They serve lettuce wrapped burgers. great option.
15435 Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260
the burgers and fries here are very good. they have a dedicated fryer but there is a risk for "glutening" in restaurants which serve wheat, and of course most people eat wheat buns. advise staff to prepare with fresh gloves if celiac.
6570 North Illinois Street, Fairview Heights, IL 62208
Got our burgers in bowls. Let them know we have a gluten allergy. No problems at all.
3908 Grandview Dr, Simpsonville, SC 29680
Can substitute a lettuce wrap in place of the bun.
2221 State Street, New Albany, IN 47150
Staff is very helpful and makes sure to change gloves. Burger with no bun and fries are gluten-free.
1424 N. Meacham, Schaumburg, IL 60173
Get the burger in a bowl. You won't be sorry
755 NW Gilman Blvd, Issaquah, WA 98027
Not recommended if you're celiac. Cross contamination possible over most of the kitchen. Order was taken and repeated to kitchen staff in Spanish, I mentioned "wheat allergy" and asked for a glove change as that tends to get taken more seriously. I watched the woman grilling buns then grab raw patties and put them on the grill, after just having handled buns. The guy in charge of toppings switched gloves, put them in the bowl, and waited for the burger to come off the grill while dressing other burgers and wrapping them (again touching bread). He also went straight to the fryer to grab fries and was pushing them into the cup with his hands, then finished my burger I ordered in a bowl. Not recommended for celiacs at all. Additionally, the floor was completely covered in oil and multiple customers complained. I was here with my mother (post op from spinal surgery) and had to guard her walk out of the store so she wouldn't slip and fall.
1207 Washington St, Hanover, MA 02339
The manager followed the making of my lettuce wraped burger from start to finish and made sure gloves were changed and that it didn't touch any potentially contaminated area. The bread toasting grill was separated from the burger grill area. I didn't get glutened, and look forward to trying the fries, too, next time!
99 Eglin Parkway, Ft. Walton Beach, FL 32548
Wonderful experience!!! Employees changed gloves twice & were very accommodating!!! Knew exactly what a 'burger in a bowl' was!!!
1203 S. Croatan Highway, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948
no gluten free bun. had no clue what I was asking.
Battlefield Mall, Springfield, MO 65804
We have 3 celiac people in our family. Both times we have eaten here they have been great with changing gloves and utensils. We order burgers with no buns and fries. They have let us bring in our own bread also.
121 Federal Road, Brookfield, CT 06804
Staff is knowledgeable. Celiac friendly.
2525 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
It is gluten free, but the meat is SO thin that it's not worth it. Good place if you only want French fries.
6000 N Terminal Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30320
Concourse c. Gate 41. Say "allergy" order without bun or lettuce wrap.
4751 Forest Road, Columbia, SC 29206
Two of my party have gluten issues. We were able to get a lettuce wrapped burger. They were cautious to keep our order separate from the gluten food. They changed their gloves for our order.
1199 S. College Mall Rd., Bloomington, IN 47404
Been "glutened" due to cross contamination more than once. For a while we were good. No problems. But last few times were not.
Typical 5 guys! They give a lot of lettuce for the lettuce wrap.
202 HWY 17 North, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
Dedicated fryer for fries, lettuce wrap for burgers. Aware of celiac precautions
10 N Sullivan Rd, Spokane, WA 99223
Always very careful and change their gloves and package my food in separate bag even. Have never had a reaction with my Celiac here!
2887 Dixie Highway, Crestview Hills, KY 41017
They offer their hamburgers in a bowl and they let the person cooking know you have an allergy. They were extremely careful while preparing my hamburger, they even put it in a separate bag from the other items we ordered.
12641 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, MD 21842
Thank you five guys! Allergy protocol is taken seriously and I watched as one cook made my entire order from start to finish with clean gloves and a clean workspace. They get it, and I didn't get sick after eating here multiple times. Fries are good too but I wish they were crispier :)
3700 Frederick Ave, St Joseph, MO 64506
Very celiac friendly. Everything is gluten-free except the buns. Tell the order taker that you must have gluten-free because of allergy (allergy is the word they understand). I have eaten at 5 Guys is several cities and I trust their grasp of gluten-free. Order a bowl or a lettuce wrap. Good quality food.
233 Main Street, Madison, NJ 07940
Called to confirm gluten free/dedicated fryer. Both employees were totally clueless and said that they didn't know....how can I be sure food is safe if employees don't even know how to answer basic questions....like dedicated fryer?
6501 Grape Rd #1105, Mishawaka, IN 46545
I eat here often and never get sick. If they know it is an allergy they will make sure the whole staff knows! It's one of the only places I eat French fries also.
1230 P Street, Lincoln, NE 68508
They were great. Made sure that they changed their gloves and I asked for a lettuce "bun" and they gave it to me.
1201 E. Spring Creek Pkwy, Suite 110, Plano, TX 75074
Great burger, offer lettuce wrap or bowl for GF, and love the fries!
2313 S Georgia St, Amarillo, TX 79109
I like that they put gluten allergy on their ticket. I have watched them make my food from start to finish and they followed protocol for my food wonderfully. They even bagged my food separately than the rest of the food, even the fries.
1485 E Pole Line Rd, Twin Falls, ID 83301
I got extremely sick from here the last time I ate, I had to tell the cook to get me new patties after she had touched buns then touched my hamburger patties right after. Cooked my patties on the same stove as the rest (no dedicated gluten free grill) and pressed down my patties with the same presser used on the non allergy parties. Do not eat here if you have celiac it's not a safe option in Twin Falls.
3600 Boston St., Baltimore, MD 21224
Gluten free fries. No gluten free buns though, so only a 3.
2830 N. Eagle Road, Meridian, ID 83646
great fries and burgers. my go to for fast food burgers. no drive thru, but worth going in and waiting.
158 Everett Ave, Chelsea, MA 02150
Most five guys are good with glove protocol to avoid cross-contamination but this one is not. Bun hands on the fires and the veggies.
1800 McFarland Blvd. #606, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404
Great food. Great service
101 College Avenue, Athens, GA 30601
Great, simple choice for a meal. They will do a lettuce wrap and the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer.
1019 Fording Island Road, Suite 101G, Bluffton, SC 29910
Good choice for a simple GF meal. They will do a lettuce wrap and the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer.
2887 Dixie Highway, Crestview Hills, KY 41017
I have celiac, get sick here every time. Not sure what isn't safe.
6619 Fm 1488, Magnolia, TX 77354
All burgers and hot dogs can be made in bowl or lettuce wrapped. They asked if it was an allergy and made the kitchen aware as well. I appreciated that! We have always enjoyed their burgers and have not had any problems with cross-contamination.
3792 Creekshire Ct., Winston Salem, NC 27103
Are here yesterday. They even asked if it was an allergy when I ordered bunless, and changed gloves.
4301 William Cannon Dr. E-200, Austin, TX 78749
Let's face it, Five Guys is filled with peanuts-- and makes no excuse about it. They are clearly not depending on any of us food-issue-folks as their primary demographic. HOWEVER... if you need GF, & ask them for your entire burger of quality beef with NO FILLERS, prepared BUNLESS, in a bowl, and load up your fave burger fixin's on top, you can get your burger "fix", but not get sick! Additionally, their fresh cut fries have NO Gluten-filled flour coating... just beautiful Idahos fried in a dedicated fryer of peanut oil. So if your issue is PEANUTS, STAY AWAY!!! If your issue is GF, order bunless & enjoy!!!
1803 Village West Pkwy M135, Kansas City, KS 66111
The taste is phenomenal. But this place is definitely not celiac-friendly. All the staff spoke broken English so I couldn't properly explain what I needed, and I got severely sick from gluten probably 10 minutes after finishing my meal. If you're thinking about trying this place as a celiac, don't!
2235 Market Place Boulevard, Cumming, GA 30041
Absolutely wonderful! I am on a gluten free, dairy free diet. Their lettuce wraps are delicious and the fries are delicious (fried in peanut oil which I have no problem with peanuts)not sure about if celiac free
8249 W Ridgewood Dr, Parma, OH 44129
good burgers they wrap in lettuce and the fries are gluten free
2323 Lancaster Dr. NE, Salem, OR 97305
I have CD and a Nima gluten sensor device. To watch the food being made, I was a bit nervous. Nothing on the menu has gluten except the buns (essentially) according to the website. I didn't see anyone changing gloves. That said, my Nima tested the food to be GF. Only fries in the fryers. So, as long as they don't cross contaminate, this place should be ok!
1458 66th Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33710
You can have a burger without a bun safely and the fries are in a dedicated fryer.
2525 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
Fries and burgers were gluten free. However, the toppings were highly processed and the fries were really greasy. This might be in some people's liking but I am a health nut and frankly, prefer all organic foods.
518 Tuttle Creek Blvd, Manhattan, KS 66502
Had no problems here, the staff was trained and made excellent food fast and we'll for me, changing everything as to prevent contamination!
831 Lew Dewitt Blvd, Waynesboro, VA 22980
I always get my burger in a bowl, and their fries are cooked in only peanut oil, I have never gotten sick here, just make sure you let them know you have an allergy! Love five guys :)

NRA News To Women: Don't Believe The Scarlett Johansson Hype, Buy Guns
On May 15, Cam Edwards, host of Cam & Company on NRA News, hosted conservative commentator and Pajamas Media contributor Bill Whittle [1] to discuss what Whittle termed "the demasculinization of men, the feminization of men, and the wimpification of men." Whittle concluded his thoughts by explaining that he is "genuinely disturbed" about the presence of "women butt-kickers in movies" like Scarlet Johansson in The Avengers, because instead of thinking they can fight large men women should be buying guns. Edwards could not agree more:
BILL WHITTLE, CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATOR: I am dealing with the pop culture. I'm in the film business out here. So what I'm dealing with is, I'm dealing with the source of hypnotism. What I mean by that is, I think the politics is downstream of culture. I think when people go to the movies and they sit there they are fundamentally hypnotized. You go to a horror movie, let's say, right, and you're scared out of your wits, but you're sitting in an air-conditioned building, you're surrounded by other people, you know there is no monster there, but you're still terrified. And so when the movies project to the American people this Woody Allen kind of ideal of kind of weakness and kind of "I'm going to issue a snappy comeback as I run for the hills and leave everybody to the bad guys." Well people to begin to think that's what's expected. While we both just talked a moment ago about heroism and women, one thing I am really genuinely disturbed about, you see this all over the place, are these kind of women butt-kickers in movies. Scarlett Johansson who is, you know, she's probably five foot four and maybe she weighs 110 pounds soaking wet taking down these 250 pound guys with karate chops and stuff.
CAM EDWARDS, HOST: Right.
WHITTLE: It's like bad things are going to happen if people think this is going to happen in the real world. Because number one, girls are going to get themselves badly hurt, and number two, when guys see movies about young girls, and young women doing all these physical moves in these wild kind of defense things, it takes away that fundamental inhibition that has been drilled into boys my age, and your age too, and that is you never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever hit a girl. Ever ever ever. When young boys go to movies and see girls doing all this butt-kicking and taking down all these guys, number one, girls think they are going to get away with that, there is not going to be an outcome where a 100 pound girl physically punches a 210 pound guy with a happy outcome for the girl. That's why you have guns.
EDWARDS: Absolutely. Absolutely right.
Beyond the sexist implications of Whittle's thoughts on what women can and can't do, this has to be one of the strangest ways that the National Rifle Association has highlighted the need to own a gun.

Husband Charged After Knifing a Watermelon
(NEWSER) – A Connecticut man is facing charges over his carving of a watermelon—although police say it was his menacing intent that actually got him in trouble, reports theRepublican American of Waterbury. Police say that Carmine Cervellino, 49, was angry at his soon-to-be-divorced wife because she told police he was using illegal drugs. As revenge, he reportedly left a watermelon on a butcher block in the kitchen with a large knife through it, reports the Register Citizen. After his wife entered the kitchen and saw it, he immediately followed and began to slice it, silently, she says. Police charged him with second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct, though he faces no drug charges.

GSA Administrator Addresses Acquisition Workforce Issues
November 20, 2008
Contact: Mike Collins (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – Active leadership and innovative recruitment strategies are needed to address longstanding problems in the federal acquisition workforce, U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Acting Administrator James A. Williams said Thursday.
"We must provide the personnel and leadership to ensure that the federal acquisition system consistently delivers best value to the government and taxpayers," Williams told some 600 contracting professionals at the annual Government Contracting Management Association Conference in Bethesda, MD.
Another critical issue involves the recruitment and retention of young contracting professionals. "We need to learn how to speak to a whole new generation of potential employees and how to find them," Williams said. "We need to clearly articulate how important their work is to the success of government operations, and stress the value and reward of a career
in civil service."
Williams also stressed the importance of accountability, integrity and transparency in federal contracting. "Contracting officers and procurement specialists must make decisions that wisely use tax dollars to support the missions of all government agencies, and those decisions must be fully transparent to the public."
Visit Williams' full remarks >>
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know? GSA manages over 425 historic buildings including 64 National Historic Landmarks and two National Historic Sites.

Hours after the announcement that Peaches Geldof passed away, stars took to Twitter to remember the model/television personality.
Ms. Geldof was found dead at a home near Wrotham, Kent, England on Monday (April 7) at the age of 25. See the touching tributes from fellow stars below.
Trying to console her wounded heart, Coleen Rooney took a holiday in Barbados with her son Kai and her parents on Tuesday (February 5).
The 26-year-old British star recently lost her 14-year-old sister Rosie after she suffered from a lifelong battle with Rett's Syndrome.
Hitting the beach to start the new year off right, Coleen Rooney spent some fun in the sun with her son and friends in Barbados on Tuesday (January 1).
The wife of British footballer Wayne Rooney proudly bared her baby bump in a turquoise halter-top bikini and pretty blue cover-up as she held baby Kai on a boat and watched the water sports from the sand.
Boldly baring her baby bump, Coleen Rooney played on the beach in Barbados with her family on Sunday (December 30).
The wife of Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney looked lovely in a strapless floral bikini as she frolicked in the water with her 3-year-old son, Kai.
First came the announcements, then came the baby bumps and now GossipCenter is looking forward to 2013 when a handful of our favorite celebrities will welcome the pitter-patter of little feet into their homes.
Many celebrities are taking advantage of the year-end holiday season and going on vacation, and Coleen Rooney garnered plenty of attention during a beach outing in Barbados today (December 28).
Joined by her three-year-old son Kai, the wife of soccer stud Wayne Rooney was not shy about showing off her growing baby bump in a tasteful-yet-sexy black two-piece bikini as she splashed in the Caribbean Sea.
She's a little extra cheery this holiday season, and Coleen Rooney has just announced her bun in the oven is a baby boy.
Back in October Coleen and her husband Wayne Rooney announced they were expecting their second child, and now it seems they're thinking blue.
Another little kicker is on the way for Wayne Rooney and wife Coleen. The Manchester United soccer player and his TV host wife announced via Twitter that they are expecting a brother or sister for their three-year-old son Kai in May.
Coleen posted, "A few people guessed, so news is out ha!! Me wayne and Kai are thrilled that we are expecting a new addition to our family around May time x."
