So, I am the type of knitter that feels most comfortable with one big project on the needles. I can do one big project and one small (1 sweater and 1 small something) but that really is my comfort zone. I truly lose sleep when I have too many projects started. Crazy, I know. Usually, I resist the temptation to start something new. Lately, not so much. I have four things on the needles. That sort of makes me nervous.
Number 1: I knit with six others (non-bloggers) once a week. I have for years. And we decided to do a little knit-a-long. So, last week I cast on for the wool bam boo rickrack pullover. This project will be slow going as I hand out the starting/stopping points. Last week I gave them an eight row assignment. (See, this one will take a while.)
Number 2: I ordered another cone of the habu merino for my kusha kusha scarf, because I ran short. It arrived last week. (Darn.) This may seem like a "little" project, but knitting with string sort of turns this into a big project.
Number 3: My plisse. Yes. The project that has captured my attention. Above is a shot of half of the back and one sleeve. The construction of the Hanne Falkenberg sweaters are what keep you going. Keep you wanting more. Mostly done in one piece with very little finishing. Gotta love that.

I've been quilting for a long time and have many projects that may never get finished :( When I started knitting, I decided not to do that, so try to finish what I start; two projects going at the most. But I am a beginner, so I may get worse as I am lured by beautiful projects! I love the rickrack pullover. Good luck with your projects!ReplyDelete
I think you will be okay. Think of it this way - sleep equals more focused awake time to knit! I always have a couple of projects and do feel overwhelmed with more - like you. But, sometimes, even if I love what a project will look like, I might struggle with the project and it needs to be set aside for a while in order to see it anew and with motivation - this is where I am at with my birthday socks. It needs to be okay. So, be okay. ~KellyReplyDelete

It seems that sometimes with my knitting I go through cycles. One thing on the needles or so many that I feel like it's taking over :). Your wips are looking lovely....can't wait to see them all finished!ReplyDelete
I'm a total knit monogamist too. It's nice to finally hear of someone with the same philosophy.ReplyDelete
And it's funny - I'm knitting the slippers from the '08 Interweave Holiday Gifts and the Rickrack sweater is featured on the ad on the back of the issue and it just caught my attention. I can't wait to see yours!
I'm similar with the one big one small on the needles projects. I like to have one to take with me in the car, and one more bulky or complicated for at home.ReplyDelete
When I'm truly obsessed with a knit (or it's just that easy) is when that one large project is my car and home knitting.
Your WIPs look great.
Sleep Sweet
i love all of your projects and totally get the one at a time theory. i do not understand how people can have several going at once and not stress! :)ReplyDelete
Oh Leslie, you transmit enthusiasm!! And "willing to do"too! :-)ReplyDelete
I have many ideas and beginned project too... And I never have enough time in my "daily life" to do everything I would like to do...!!!But, hope never die.. and I am sure I will finish every project well and with satisfaction!
With your projects so clearly in mind and now chronicled here, I've no doubt, with deep breaths and the gentle vibe of creative friends singing in your ear, that you'll complete each with attention and time to detail, to pleasure. Grounded, focused...ALIVE!ReplyDelete
And good things surround you, my friend! Thank you for the positive energy I know because of sharing delicious space. I think someone, too, in cyberspace perhaps needed that same energy which is why your first comment disappeared over my way! :)
A beautiful weekend to you and your family!
geez, you knit a lot of sweaters! They are all so pretty! I havent knit one yet... Im stuck on a pair of socks.ReplyDelete
Everything looks lovely! Cant wait to see them finished!
Happy weekend,
I am EXACTLY the same way! Project monogamy...I can't handle more than one. I also can't handle having too much stash -- it really stresses me out and I feel like I have to knit it all immediately. All of your projects look lovely, though! The worst is having ones you don't want to work on.ReplyDelete
uh, yeah. i'm right there with you.ReplyDelete
i'm working on two virtual KAL's and always kick myself after joining such things. who needs deadlines?!?
have a great weekend, and enjoy the knitting time!
I have way to many things going and sometimes they make me crazy so I throw one in the closet for awhile. Right now I'm trying to conquer socks - thats why I started a shell - need something for when I the sock gets to me. Love what you are knitting. Thanks for the baby hat pattern. You always seem to know what I need and pass out the pattern.ReplyDelete
Hehe, only 4? Just kidding, focus is great, or at least it should be, that's what they tell me... (I'm not so good at it myself...)ReplyDelete
I have about 6 or 8 things going at once, but it is the things I focus on that get finished!
Enjoy your weekend,
happy knitting-
I love the projects you've got going right now. I like to have a large and a small one going--that way, while I slog away at the large one, I can feel like I'm getting something finished with the small one!ReplyDelete
Of course, right now I have two large ones going...I started my first lace shawl, and between the tiny yarn and the pattern, I needed to work on something else in a "normal" size yarn. So I cast on for the February Lady Sweater. As long as I can do a row or two of the FLS every day, I don't feel too bad about having to rip stitches back to my latest lifeline on the shawl...
You always make the greatest things -- love Hanne Falkenberg sweater! I'm always inspired by your work.ReplyDelete
I can't manage to work on one project at a time myself -- need at least 3 or 4 going at the same time. Right now, I'm knitting a little Rowan denim pinafore for a grandchild, my first pair of socks, and crocheting the market bag shown on Martha Stewart this week -- keeps things from getting too monotonous, ya know ;-)?
hmmm.I am jealous of the time you have -lol!!,everything is lovely.ReplyDelete
I have never minded having a few things on the needles at the same time. You know for different situations ie: tv knitting, on the go knitting, full concentration knitting. But now that I have started knitting sweaters...anything more than a sweater and maybe one pair of socks and I feel like I am drowning.ReplyDelete
I'm in the same comfort zone as you - one at a time keeps me committed to seeing a project through to the end (and I'm slow enough with one at a time thank you). On the other hand, if a couple of extra projects are keeping you up at night -- you could just brew some tea and put in some extra knitting by lamplight. Hey, if you're up anyways (hee hee). Really though, this is you we're talking about. You'll get through all of these in record time and they will each look stunning. : )ReplyDelete

I know exactly what you mean about it stressing you out. I feel the same way.ReplyDelete
I find it really hard having more than one thing on the go -- at the minute I have 3 little things and never know which one to pick up first -- good luck, and I hope you get your seed stitch thro finishedReplyDelete

You are focused. I've lost count of how many projects I've got OTN. I can't even get them all on Ravelry!ReplyDelete
I'm trying to get better about not letting situations like this make me insane. But the key here seems to be that you LIKE all the projects, which is huge and tells me that you will finish them all:)ReplyDelete
I'm so similar...too many projects makes me bonkers. I like all the projects you've got going. That rick rack pullover is really nice. And I'm quite interested in seeing how fabulous you make the kusha kusha scarf. That's one of those things, I'm sure I'll love once I see yours done :).ReplyDelete
I was thinking about how you mostly do one thing at a time, and how that seems a much better plan than my... um... OK, I'm too embarrassed to tell you how many I have going. But I have a car sock, a main sweater, a scarf (or two...).. you know? I just need different kinds of knitting for different kinds of days. I sometimes feel like I have a lot going on and nothing getting done, but then all of a sudden, I'll have a few things done at once, which is nice. I don't know why I'm telling you my life story right now... I forget what my point was. (There has been some wine, I'll admit. But it was deserved, after my NY trip with NO YARN, and NO KUSHA KUSHA to show for it. Despite attempts at both. Very frustrating, that Habu store!)ReplyDelete
I'm the same way - too many projects on the needles and I get a bit (okay, more than a bit) obsessive. But so many pretty projects! AH! How to choose!ReplyDelete
I'm excited to see your rick rack pullover - that color is fabulous! And the Hanne Falkenberg? Yum.
You can do it! Rah rah rah!
I share your scattered knitting focus, although I'd say that it could readily apply to my more general focus as well.ReplyDelete
It seems that I never finish my projects until the season after they are meant to be worn. Ladida. It's all about the journey, and all that.
I'm so jealous of you and your six knitting pals. How I would love to be so lucky in finding fellow knitters nearby. Happy knitting!
me? one thing at a time. and right now, nothing. started a shrug for kate but my gauge was off so i ripped it out while sitting in emily's kitchen a few weeks ago. haven't started it again....ReplyDelete
each one is looking great! I get a little nervous when I have too many projects going, because i'm afraid I'll forget where I am and have to start all over. I don't always take good notes :) The Plisse sweater looks beautiful!ReplyDelete
I lose sleep too, but I can't seem to help myself from casting on for more:)ReplyDelete
you are so funny. i lose sleep over my quilts, sometimes, too. half the time i swear that i figure out how to back a quilt when i'm half asleep at 2am. but it's fun when i finally figure it out.ReplyDelete
you have some beautiful wips going!
the finisher in me can't have too many things going or I get crazy as well, so I can relate to your feelings. but boy do you have an awesome collection of projects going. they're all beautiful but will be spectacular once you model them!ReplyDelete
I so envy your knitting ability. I haven't knitted very long..have knitted some scarves and with your inspiration, I am tackling a sweater. Not sure I should have picked the project I did. I am making a sweater you made - Flow - out of Seduce by Berroco. I am having trouble with the first row casted on. It just looks uneven. Any suggestions?ReplyDelete
Those are all gorgeous projects! I have wanted to do one of the HF projects (Mermaid) for years, but I just have never managed to convince myself to buy the yarn.ReplyDelete
everything you have on the needles is gorgeous though! so that is something to use to calm yourself!ReplyDelete
I know what you mean about losing sleep - only for me it's when I go past the 10-projects-on-the-needles mark...oy. Love that habu piece!!!ReplyDelete

Fairfax County Better safe than sorry.
Based on that philosophy, Fairfax County Public Schools announced early Sunday afternoon that all FCPS schools will be closed Monday and Tuesday because of the continuing threat of flooding and hurricane-force winds from Hurricane Sandy, a "rare hybrid storm" expected to make landfall on Monday.
According to reports from the National Weather Service on Sunday, Hurricane Sandy continues to move parallel to the East Coast, with a turn to the northwest expected tonight and landfall along the central New Jersey coast Monday evening.
In addition to long periods of sustained tropical storm-force winds, the storm will slam Fairfax County with heavy rain and the threat of flooding through Tuesday.
Based on these factors, Superintendent Jack Dale made the decision to close schools, all extracurricular activities and the School Age Child Care (SACC) centers early Sunday afternoon.
"Fairfax County Public Schools is aware of the implications of opening school during less than perfect conditions and of delaying or closing schools when poor weather conditions exist or are predicted," said Dale on the FCPS website.
FCPS offices will also be closed on Monday, and a decision about re-opening the offices will be made on Monday afternoon, according to an FCPS news release.
The following activities in schools and on school grounds also will be canceled on Monday and Tuesday:
- interscholastic contests
- team practices
- field trips
- middle school after-school programs
- professional learning and training courses
- all adult and community education classes
- recreation programs and community use by outside groups not affiliated with FCPS
The decision to shut down the public schools is often met with criticism. On the FCPS home page – www.fcps.edu – Fairfax County outlines its policies and includes a "frequently asked questions" section on how, why and when school-closing decisions are made.
ONE KEY FACTOR is the fact that Fairfax County encompasses approximately 400 square miles, and the weather, and road conditions, can vary significantly in different parts of the county. Fairfax County's transportation system includes high speed, high volume roadways such as Route 66, Route 495, Route 95, the Fairfax County Parkway, and others. The county's transportation system also includes narrow, winding roads in still relatively rural parts of the county such as Clifton and Great Falls.
While the western and northern parts of the county usually have colder temperatures --- and typically the worst conditions --- sometimes the reverse is true. Often the major roadways are in good driving condition, but neighborhood roads remain treacherous.
FCPS "makes every effort" to make decisions to delay opening or to not open schools by 4:30 a.m. Once a decision is made by the superintendent, it takes approximately 30 minutes to complete notifying local media, updating the school system web page, the school system television channel, sending Keep in Touch e-mail and SMS messages, and posting to Facebook and Twitter.

Being the little sister of the classic beauty, Diana F+, the Diana Mini has big shoes to fill. Luckily, she was born a star in her own right. Super-sweet, the Diana Mini 35mm camera has got plenty of style and features to the nines.
With the flick of a switch, you can move from the retro square format to the amazing Half-Frame, which gives you the ability to shoot (almost) forever, packing a whopping 72 shots onto one roll of 35mm film! Her handy-dandy size and limitless creative potential is a revolution in creative photography.
With the Diana Mini, long exposures are no biggie thanks to the 'B' setting, tripod mount and cable release attachment – a Diana first. Its wide-angle lens means you can get close or chose between any of the four focal distances. Multiple exposures are cake! And if you're into abstract expressionism when it comes to your Lomography, you can overlap frames endlessly creating multiple-exposure panoramas. The built-in Diana flash plug makes it compatible with the retro-styled Diana Flash (available separately).
This Diana Mini is our response to the insatiable demand from the Lomographic community for more Diana innovations. Read on to find out more about how the Diana Mini is doing its bit to pioneer the endless creative possibilities of Diana Lomography!

ASUNCION, Paraguay – An anti-gay tobacco magnate, who compared gay people to "monkeys" and threatened to remove his private parts if his son married another man, was elected president of Paraguay Sunday.
By electing Horacio Cartes, Paraguayans returned the conservative Colorado Party to the presidency that it held for 61 years, before former Roman Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo won the office in 2008.
Cartes won a five-year term with 46 percent of the vote over 37 percent for Efrain Alegre of the Radical Liberal party, the Electoral Court announced after most votes were counted. Five other candidates trailed far behind.
"I'll need help from all the Paraguayans to govern in the next five years. Poverty, the lack of jobs for young people and international issues await us," Cartes said Sunday night.
Poverty is widespread in Paraguay, which is an agrarian nation that is South America's No. 3 producer of soy, corn and sunflowers. About 1 percent of the population controls 77 percent of the arable land. The U.N. estimates more than half of Paraguayans live in poverty, while the country's census bureau puts the number at 39 percent.
Alegre recognized his defeat despite saying earlier that he might challenge the outcome. "The Paraguayan people have spoken. There's nothing more to say," he said in a brief concession speech.
During a recent radio interview, Cartes, compared the support of same-sex marriage to believing in "the end of the world" and threatened to become a eunuch if his 28-year old son wanted to marry another man.
"I would shoot myself in the testicles, because I do not agree," he said, according to The New York Times. The Times reported that Cartes used slightly more profane language to describe the act.
The comments come as Cartes has also been hit with charges of money laundering and smuggling contraband Paraguayan-made cigarettes into neighboring Brazil. The Paraguayan gay rights groups Somos Gay issued a statement condemning the comments as "cruel" and asked Cartes to make a formal apology.
"The Colorado Party claims to protect the Paraguayan family, claiming that if lesbians and gays become visible in our society, the traditional family will disappear," said Sergio López, a director of the group, according to The New York Times. "But in fact, they are ignoring reality since that traditional family is no longer the norm."
Paraguay sits in a region that has made swift advancements in gay rights, with both Argentina and Uruguay recently legalizing gay marriage.
Cartes, 58, is part of the tiny elite that controls just about everything in Paraguay. His father represented the Cessna airplane company in Paraguay, which enabled Cartes to get schooling in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
The president-elect owns controlling shares in banks, investment funds, agricultural estates, a soda maker and tobacco plantations. Most pre-election polls predicted his victory, despite this being his first run for public office. Cartes has been well-known in Paraguay as president of Libertad, the club that won last year's national soccer championship.
Many Paraguayans hope this election will encourage other countries to restore full relations that were suspended after last year's impeachment of Lugo, which neighboring nations saw as a threat to democracy in the region.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oscar Arias led an observer mission from the Organization of American States, and said Sunday that he had complete confidence in the Electoral Court because it had spent months observing and supporting the process. There were 515 observers from the OAS, European Union, the Union of South American Nations regional bloc known as UNASUR and the Union of Latin American Electoral Organizations.
International election observer Martin Sequeira said voting proceeded calmly with a high turnout. He said there were some unconfirmed reports of election fraud complaining that some ballots had been pre-marked.
But Arias said those were only "some small incidents, which you see even in the most consolidated democracies."
The Colorados held the presidency during and after Alfredo Stroessner's 35-year-dictatorship, until Lugo, a leftist, sandal-wearing former bishop, joined up with the Radical Liberals and was swept into office on promises of land reform. But Lugo lacked even a handful of supporters in congress, made political missteps within his own coalition and was stymied at every turn.
The Radical Liberals finally joined with the Colorados to vote Lugo out of office for "poor performance" last year. The impeachment process is well defined under the constitution, but Paraguay's neighbors criticized the ouster of a popularly elected president as anti-democratic and suspended the country's membership in UNASUR, the Mercosur trade bloc and CELAC, which brings together Caribbean, Latin American and European Union countries.
Lugo's vice president, Federico Franco, a Radical Liberal politician who took over as caretaker president, said he expects Paraguay's status to be swiftly normalized after the new head of state takes office Aug. 15.

Today's Meditation
Read Acts 18:1-4
We are what [God] has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works.
-Ephesians 2:10 (NRSV)
Like other rabbis of his era, the apostle Paul was expected to support himself independent of his teaching in local synagogues. Paul's profession was tent making, and through that work he came to know people such as Aquila and Priscilla, who would become leaders in the early church.
Today we think of Paul as an extraordinary person -- not because of his tent making but because of how he called people to follow Christ. Certainly there must have been days for Paul when making tents came first. I think of this sometimes when my everyday duties become priorities that seem distant from my focus on faith.
Paul's experience reminds me that in any good work I can find Christ and others who can be a part of my Christian experience. God can be glorified in how I handle the simplest chores and the most troublesome tasks. All of us can be faithful in the work of helping others know, love and serve Christ.
John Blossom
(Connecticut, USA)
Prayer: Dear Lord, may we glorify your name in all that we undertake each day. Amen.
Thought for the Day: Remember as you do today's tasks that you can serve Christ in them.

inspired you to start a spa?
Following my passion. With my business management classes at WNCC I found an
inspiration to start my own business. I was one of the "pioneers" in Western
Nebraska to offer massage therapy and spa services.
much capital did you have to raise to start your business?
I moved home from college with $70 to my name. It took three to four years of
hard work and growing pains to build the business collateral. My initial loan
of $10,000 was for my first building venture. The key was to build slowly and
not spend money I did not have or could not pay back at a worse case scenario.
did you raise it?
Personal home equity
as well as equipment equity for my first building. For my second building I was
able to sell shares of my business stock to an investor. This took 10 years of
building a fiscally sound business and financial statements.
do you think are the most important things community colleges can do to help
encourage and support young entrepreneurs?
Although WNCC did not
have an entrepreneurial program at the time I attended, they have since
incorporated E-ship courses for prospective entrepreneurs to learn everything
from business plans, marketing, management, capital investments, etc. I think
it is imperative that every aspiring entrepreneur participate in a program like
this before starting their business.
do you know now that you wish you had known when you were starting your
As a spa owner, my
roles have changed drastically throughout my 10 years of operation. I never
thought I would be crediting my inexperience and blissful naïveté as factors
leading to my success, but if I had known then what it was going to take to
make it in this industry, the fearful apprehension of failure would most
assuredly have deterred my journey. Looking back, I truly wouldn't change a
thing. In an industry with overwhelming failure rates, my encounters with
devastation and set backs along the way could easily have led to my demise, but
it was times like these that were blessings in disguise. My moments of weakness
were when I found my true strength. In every adversity lies the seed of equal
or greater benefit. Working through challenges and difficult situations
provides us with the ability to recognize strengths, abilities and insights…and
more importantly, by resolving these issues, we find the greatest opportunity
for growth.
advice would you give to a community college student who has no
entrepreneurship experience and wants to start a business?
Find your passion FIRST
and FOREMOST! Find an E-ship program through a community college before taking
the next step.
do you think the key factors are that have helped you succeed?
Passion, commitment,
responsibility, and most importantly the ability to give back to the community.
were you able to balance being a single mother with growing a successful
It literally takes a
village. I preach to my employees that family MUST come first, and we all take
care of each other. I am so blessed to have my parents and sister close by as a
support system. My children are also an active part of my business during the
evenings when I have to go back. They have learned to help with tedious tasks
such as laundry, cleaning, organizing, etc. It is BECAUSE of my children that I
have the passion to continue. I want to teach them that you can achieve
anything no matter the obstacles. They are so proud of me and have never felt
neglected or ignored. This work ethic is something that will be instilled in
them when they are ready to follow their dreams some day. I am so blessed to
have both a career and family. The balance is an everyday commitment.

Sam Stosur has received a welcome boost to her morale by defeating Estonian Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 6-1 to advance to a second round clash with France's Alize Cornet.
The 29-year-old looked comfortable throughout the straight sets victory and reflected fondly on a well-deserved victory against her high-quality opponent.
"I played really well today and Kaia was a really dangerous opponent," Stosur said.
"I really tried to start the match well, on top."
World number 32 Cornet surpassed an early struggle from Ukrainian teenager Elina Svitolina to complete a 7-5, 6-3.
Stosur, who was runner-up in the tournament last year, leads the head-to-head battles with her upcoming 23-year-old opponent by a single victory.
However if the Australian does topple Cornet, she will have to contend with two-time grand slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova before she can take home the trophy.
Having collected her second title of the season at the Japan Open before touching down in Moscow, the seventh seed Australian will be hoping to go all the way this time around in a bid to impress on home soil at the 2014 Australian Open in January.

|Not celiac friendly
There was only one employee who knew the gluten free protocol, so I had to tell the young man what to do. He was very willing to wash his hands and put on new gloves, but didn't stay with my meal. I had to have another person with clean gloves take over. They did not offer me fresh lettuce or cheese so I de lined them. Other Chipotles are much more careful.
The food is the same across every Chipotle I've been too. However each one is different on how they handle the situation when you say gluten free. This experience was not a good one and basically killed my appetite. The first employee grabbed a bowl and asked what rice without changing her gloves. When I informed her she needed to change her gloves and that a new bowl was required, she whispered to another employee and left the line. That employee had on new gloves, dished the rice and then handed it off to another employee who did not have on clean gloves. I informed both employees that I needed a new bowl and that normally one employee handles the bowl. They both looked at me like I was crazy. Just really poor customer service and an obvious sign of lack of training by management.
Get the burrito bowl pretty much. Really good about changing gloves if you ask them too!
Everything thing is gluten free except the tortilla

Staff cleans the counter and takes our menu items from the clean bulk supply in the back. Never makes us feel guilty for the extra work! I appreciate this option to have a quick safe meal!

They didn't seem at all knowledgeable about gluten. They washed their hands and changed their gloves, then handled tortillas right afterward. I did ask him to change gloves again and he complied. The other one washed and changed gloves after my order was already made. They used the same cheese and I crossed my fingers, but I got glutened, a pain, but when you don't prepare your own food, it happens.

Sensitive celiac never had a problem with any chipotle. This one gives generous portions too.

I was thrilled when I told them I was Celiac, they put on new gloves, used new spoons for all toppings and scooped out from all new containers of toppings! I will be back!

41 S Court St., Athens, OH 45701
I eat here at least once a week. The staff is always willing to change their gloves and utensils, even when the line is out the door. Everything here is gluten free aside from the tortillas and soft shells, and its easily made dairy free without cheese or sour cream.

Every time I go to this location they are super accommodating. They change out gloves and utensils, grab me fresh cheese and lettuce. I'm always hesitant to go to chipotle locations but never this one.
102 E. Kensington Rd., Mt. Prospect, IL 60056
Not perhaps the most knowlegable location in terms of staff, they have always been accommodating. My son has celiac and we go often and have never had a problem. Very reliable!

17 S. Tejon, Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Good fast food option with healthy versions of gluten Free available. I can eat here without having a celiac option, as long as I don't order the corn salsa, which they say is gluten free.

825 W. Market St., Akron, OH 44303
I can always count on Chipotle but this location did such a great job with prep! Made me feel like I wasn't a bother. I didn't have to ask for them to change gloves or anything. Luckily this location is close to my house and I can go regularly!

Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They changed gloves, washed hands, wiped down counter, and got out new guacamole and salad that hadnt been touched by gloves. So refreshing to have people be super careful and kind about gluten issues. Wonderful place.
|Celiac friendly
45 Gosling Rd., Newington, NH 03801
The staff here didn't miss a beat. Without asking they wiped down all the work surfaces, informed me that all options excepting the soft tortillas were gluten-free. They took cheese and lettuce from a fresh bin and changed all gloves before helping. Great service, conscientious employees and wonderful experience.
128 Hanes Mall Circle, Winston-Salem, NC 27103
I've been here several times since I was diagnosed and haven't gotten sick. I am sure to tell them I have a wheat allergy when I first come in (there was some confusion when I used the word "celiac") and they change their gloves immediately. They normally pass your food down the line to the next person if you don't have an allergy, but when I tell them GF the same person with clean gloves is the only one that handles my food. I live for the burrito bowls.

Their premade crispy corn tacos avoids the problem of cross contamination with the wheat tacos. Everything else in the place is gluten free. Had 3 pork tacos with everything and a bag of chips and loved it. Directly across the street to the east of exposition park so great for lunch when going to the museums.

I always eat at Chipotle. Ask them to change their gloves before your order and make sure they get cheese and lettuce from the fridge if you're getting any. Just be careful of the chips because they could be cross contaminated

Awesome staff. When I asked for a glove change, he asked if I had an allergy to gluten. When I said yes, he not only changed his gloves but also washed his hands. Was extra careful and handled my bowl the whole time.
22106 US-281 #101, San Antonio, TX 78259
The food is good and most everything except the flour tortillas are gluten free. I told the woman that I was gluten free. She took her gloves off and washed her hands and put new gloves on. The food is really yummy. I had a salad with chicken.
649 S. College Ave., Fort Collins, CO 80525
This is the first restaurant I attempted to go to after my celiac diagnosis. They were amazing! Right away the lady took off her gloves, washed her hands, asked if I wanted new ladles, brought out fresh lettuce and she was the only one who handled my food the whole time. They made me feel human again.

227 Alewife Brook Parkway, Unit B5, Cambridge, MA 02138
I love lunch on the go with Chipotle and have been eating at this location for a few years. I always stick with a salad or bowl. Stay away from the two items that workers put their gloved hands in: shredded cheese and lettuce. The lettuce for salads they seem to use tongs. Not so much at the end of the assembly line. I've never even asked them to change gloves and following the no cheese/no shredded lettuce rule has been enough to keep me from getting sick.
1500 S Hanley Rd #1, Richmond Heights, MO 63117
The staff was very accommodating to my being gluten sensitive. Not only did she change her gloves, she switched out the utensils for the toppings and pulled out a brand new container of cheese. She did it with a smile and was very understanding. I didn't feel uncomfortable or weird in the least. The staff is also very friendly. Will return!

|Celiac friendly
704 NE Weidler St., Portland, OR 97232
When I told the worker I was celiac he automatically changed his gloves and all the serving scoops. And did it with a smile! When I apologized for the hassle, they kindly replied "we know it's not your choice to be celiac." Plus, everything on the menu except the flour tortillas is gf. Hallelujah for this place!
|Celiac friendly
It really depends on how adamant you are about needing them to A) change gloves B) wipe down counters C) use different utensils for your food (has touched gluten shell when laying food down) D) making sure they give you the fresh options from the back versus the front Best of luck!

20209 E. Smoky Hill Rd., Centennial, CO 80015
Newly diagnosed, this is one of the first times I ventured outside my kitchen after being glutened at other restaurants. I was surprised at how quickly they took off their gloves and washed their hands when I mentioned a gluten allergy. They even took out fresh pans of lettuce and cheese for me and switched the utensils. I was a bit embarrassed to cause such a fuss (newly diagnosed), but also very grateful for their care. I almost cried. And, more importantly, I didn't get sick.

Be aware they have stopped offering corn tortillas so tacos are NOT a safe option
5754 Lindero Canyon Rd., Westlake Village, CA 91362
Updated review- I agree with previous poster that service has gone downhill in the past few years. The last time I ate there I asked for soft corn tortilla, they get my flour without my knowledge, and I got sick. I found out later from a friend that they don't make soft corn tortillas anymore... previous review- Delicious food and I've never had a problem here. The staff is happy to change their gloves and don't complain. I love going to a restaurant where I can eat almost everything on the menu.
3201 St. Paul St., Baltimore, MD 21218
Chipotle policy has a worker change their gloves for you and follow you down the line to build your meal if you mention having a gluten or any other allergy. Now of course, others' hands have been in the toppings that don't use spoons, so if you skip the lettuce and cheese, you can eat safely here and at any Chipotle.
1815 S. Bascom Ave., Campbell, CA 95008
Have had burrito bowls from Chipotle several times and have not had any issues - seems to be a good gluten-free fast food option
|Celiac friendly
13975 Lakeside Circle, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
This is my favorite location of all the Chipotles. All my favorite managers are there. They helped me learn how to eat safely through trial and error. Almost always I request untouched, unseasoned rice and whatever is fresh and hasn't hit the line yet. Everything in the back is 100% gluten free. There is only a chance of cross contamination on the line so I use anything from there sparingly - if at all. As long as you are willing to be flexible and patient you can have anything that they are making fresh. You can even call ahead and ask them what is low and will be replaced and to keep it off the line until after they make your bowl. Chipotle is the best!

The staff were super helpful. They switched their gloves, wiped all of the surfaces, and got new spoons for all of the food. Chips have a dedicated fryer for the chips, which are gluten-free. Tacos and bowls can be made gluten free. Very good service and food. 👍

If you avoid gluten, don't eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order. You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips, soft corn, and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have a small amount of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field.

In the very first exercise, which involves division in to syllables, the answer key shows eius divided as ei-us.
Why not e-ius? Isn't i consonantal here?
Between consonant i and a preceding a, e, o or u, an i was developed as a transient sound, thus producing a diphthong ai , ei , etc., before the consonant i. In such cases but one i was written: as, âiō (for † ai-iō ), mâius (for † mai-ius ), pêius (for † pei-ius ).

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
OK, maybe that was an exaggeration, but let me explain, in layman's terms, how WWGHA has helped me.For those of you that don't know me, I am a 13 year old from Long Island, New York. I had always known that there was something fishy about religion, but I just couldn't put the pieces together. But, a few months ago, I started asking a lot more questions in Sunday school. Why do bad things happen to good people? Can bad people get into heaven if they pray enough? If so, why should I be a good person, and if not, then what's the point of praying? God does what he wants, and he has his eternal plan set out, so why pray? Why doesn't God heal cancer? But my favorite question of all: If Jesus can see us all, then why doesn't he ever talk to us or sing in church with us or come over to our house to play checkers? (I had an obsessed-with-checkers stage for a while ) And the answer would always be the same: Jesus does talk to you, in prayer. I would ask, but why can't I hear Jesus? And they said that Jesus will show himself to you. And I thought, This HAS to be bullshit! But I didn't say that, and especially not in church. I was told that God is loves us and would keep us safe, and I trusted that. One day, I randomly stumbled upon WWGHA. I started to read. My conscience told me to stop--my mom told me to stop as well--but it was so addictive, and I kept reading, and reading, and reading......and then it hit me. I thought, This is a lot more plausible than religion. And so, I became an atheist.Naturally, my grandma, a devout Christian, and my mom, a devout Grandma-ist, were mortified. They told me every Christian fallacy in the book at me, in hopes that I would dumb myself down. The good news is that I refused. The bad news is that it came at a price. My grandmother forced me to make my confirmation, and I will in about a year now. But after that, I'm free.So, that's my story. Let the hate mail begin.--Benny
My grandmother forced me to make my confirmation, and I will in about a year now.
Hey,if that hair thing works is that like an amputee being healed?
Now that you've read the site --> stop!Get out there and enjoy your youth. Learn learn learn! Have fun! Be stupid! Come back in 5 years and I will hire you.
Good for you! I was a PK (preacher's kid) and it took about the age of 15 or 16 for me to really start with the questions. 13, I'm impressed.As for god talking to you, Maybe you had a "Faulty Baptism" as those in acts 19 I believe. Those men couldn't talk to god until they were re-baptized. Confuses the heck out of christians when you talk about faulty baptisms!
Welcome to the fold Benny. As other's have already said, you're WAY ahead of the game. Know that if things get tough at home, you have a sympathetic and supportive community to lean on. I came to WWGHA as a very unsure theist, and thanks to the critical feedback and support from other members, I am now a full fledged agnostic de-convert. I look forward to seeing you around the board, man.
INHO, it helps if you think of them as gibbering tribal primitives. Not the enemy, not evil, just primitive and foolish. Just like if you were shipwrecked on a desert island with those primitives, you would go along with their goofy talk of their volcano god if it helped you to be clothed and fed. You know their dances and chants to please the Volcano God is stupid.But until you've got your own hut, boat, and know how to fish, you really do need to put up with it.Your current situation isn't all that different if you think about it.
Atheism is the gift that keeps on giving; not only have you saved your hairy back and and ensured clean showers for life but you also now qualify for EAC membership.Can't you just smell that kitten on the BBQ now*?*Only one farm-fresh kitten per application, only one application per household. The expression "kitten" is defined as a feline of not less than 4lbs and not more than 6lbs uncooked weight. Other terms and conditions apply, see website for details.
You are only 13 years old so you still have lots of stuff to learn about everything. Here is a list of stuff to help you along:1. People are idiots, don't trust them (with your money) especially not the Christians! Tell me about it...2. If 'God' exists, he is not the only one that can do bad things - "why do bad things happen to good people?" There are bad people in this world too, 'God' might punish them and send them to hell (even if he is 'all forgiving', and so on. Obviously more religious bullshit.3. Always ask questions about other people's claims, often ask why they believe what they say and make sure their reasons are understandable at least. It seems like nobody has understandable reasons at all anymore... 4. Christians apparently worship a 'good' God but you say your grandma forced you to make your confirmation? What ever happened to free will? I was never promised free will by anybody.5. You are lucky to have found WWGHA when you did, sounds like you need help, but who in this world doesn't need any help? There is only so much a single person can do. True dat.6. Don't care what other people think, do what makes you happy, not anyone else (capitalism FTW!) Duly noted 7. God (if he/she/it exists) is an imbecile, or would be. He hides somewhere and wants humanity to believe in him but doesn't even show himself to everyone, why do that? Exactly.8. Forget the Bible, it has ridiculous information in it, God lets people be killed, the world is overpopulated but there may be other reasons why he let them die. Agreed 9. Think of other people as 'assets' to your work, your life. People deserve to be used, humanity doesn't deserve to even exist so do what you want with them, if you want to be good, be good, if you want to be evil, go for it. People do have their own lives, only if they deserve to have them taken away that should always happen. DittoAnd finally 10. Welcome to the WWGHA, there are alot of interesting topics and people here, don't annoy anyone or they will waste your time arguing with you. Best to make peace with people now and if necessary, argue with them about their own claims and maybe even put them against each other! Enjoy yourself here and we shall see what the future holds for this world Thanks--to you and everyone else--for the welcome
Brace yourself: Long reply ahead I'll answer the questions in chronological order.Thanks for the help and humor. Darwins to you!
The EAC is the "Evil Atheist Conspiracy".Christians, particularly in the US, like to complain that atheism is taking over the world and that atheists are the sort of evil wrongdoers who would cheerfully barbecue small, cute kittens.Naturally, to do that requires us all to conspire together and so was born the EAC; an entirely fictional organisation that gives all new members a kitten to barbecue as a reward just for joining.You'll find that you notice more and more occasions when people, primarily christians, will delight in telling you what you believe. Some even go so far as believing and telling you that atheist = satanist; never for a moment realising that believing in satan requires just the same lack of critical thinking that results in belief in jesus.
rewrite it replacing:
Quote from: Hatter23 on September 15, 2011, 10:55:19 AM rewrite it replacing:Did the result come out sounding unambiguously asian to anyone else?
Now that you've read the site --> stop!Get out there and enjoy your youth. Learn learn learn! Have fun! Be stupid! Come back in 5 years and I will hire you.
He would rather it that they worship Him, instead of spending their time on family.
I agree with the masses- Welcome, and I'm glad you have come to us so early! Now do go enjoy life! You will have plenty of time later on to worry about religion and such... just have fun! Be a stupid kid while you can (I'm not calling you stupid, just saying do stupid things for fun) and worry about girls (or guys or fish or whatever you're into). Get some self-esteem (your quote under your avatar isn't true) and have more fun! Enjoy what's left of your precious childhood while you can.
If you are trying to insinuate racism in this, there isn't any.
You'll find that you notice more and more occasions when people, primarily Christians, will delight in telling you what you believe. Some even go so far as believing and telling you that atheist = satanist; never for a moment realising that believing in Satan requires just the same lack of critical thinking that results in belief in Jesus.
9. Think of other people as 'assets' to your work, your life. People deserve to be used, humanity doesn't deserve to even exist so do what you want with them,
if you want to be good, be good, if you want to be evil, go for it.
People do have their own lives, only if they deserve to have them taken away that should always happen.
I don't know why men have nipples, they can't breastfeed a child, but women can because theirs are bigger.

The Hardeeville City Council on Thursday night unanimously passed an ordinance to rezone 18.29 acres on U.S. 17 just off Interstate 95 at Exit 5 in order to allow the WilcoHess Company to build a travel plaza.
With the passing of the ordinance, the land was rezoned from general commercial to highway commercial, the specifications of which are very similar, said Hardeeville City Manager Bob Nanni, and would make the property consistent with surrounding properties.
The ordinance received its first reading in mid-December and the public was given a chance to hear further details and ask questions at a town meeting Dec. 21. Bob Weaver, of Weaver Engineering Inc. of Timmonsville and Cam Kreps, senior broker for the NAI Avant real estate services in Columbia, provided the information at the public forum.

LAS VEGAS — Country music power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are heading to Las Vegas.
They will be performing a 10-weekend run of shows at The Venetian starting Dec. 7. The couple announced the news Tuesday during a press conference at the hotel.
Sitting on a white leather sofa in the 1800-seat theatre where the show will take place, McGraw welcomed everyone to their part-time Vegas home.
Hill said they were thrilled about the opportunity to be creative in a way they've never experienced together before.
"Being in this intimate environment, it will be 'us,"' added McGraw.
"I'm very excited."
The show is called Soul2Soul, named after their hugely successful co-headlining tours in 2000 and 2006.
According to Pollstar, their 2006-2007 Soul2Soul II run remains the highest grossing North American tour in country music history.
The Vegas shows will mark the first time in six years that McGraw and Hill have performed a full concert together in the United States.
McGraw said they are in the process of building the show and promises that the production will be cutting edge.
They may be superstars, but McGraw and Hill are also full-time parents of three daughters. Hill said the Venetian worked around their children's school schedules to make this happen.
McGraw said his daughters, two of whom are teenagers, are excited to see the shows in Vegas, joking that "they probably won't see ours, though."
Pre-sale tickets go on sale today and open to the general public Monday.
The couple have sold more than 70 million albums and charted more than 40 No. 1 hits between them.

Over the past few months, we have followed a couple of exciting new video applications for Popcorn.js, an HTML 5 framework for video. It was introduced essentially through Wired in October, where documentary filmmakers were able to add interactive links in their films to provide more information while viewers watched. One movie in particular, One Millionth Tower, premiered on Wired.com in November and is filled with interactive content allowing you to explore the film with different angles, Wikipedia, Flickr, Google Maps, and more. But other educational uses have been discovered, much to the delight of Popcorn's creators.
We also saw Popcorn being implemented into the People's Choice Awards website, where their videos were given interactivity on special hotspots. When someone of note is mentioned, a window pops up with articles and other links to that person.
Popcorn Will Add Interactive Dimensions To Educational Video
Of particular note is the work done by Kate Hudson (no, not that Kate Hudson) in a Popcorn-laden demo for Shakespeare's that takes a scene from Macbeth where you to see a scene acted out with the dialogue written underneath. The Popcorn framework allows you to investigate the meaning of certain phrases so that the words become clearer. For instance, if you want to know what "Hie thee hither," means, it's highlighted in the text, and moving your cursor over it translates the phrase into "Come home quickly."
The video stops while you make your investigations, and then when you're ready to watch it again, you just put your cursor over the video and it picks up right where it left off. The video has tons of options, too. You can use the original text, or a modern reworking, or see both at the same time. The possibilities for education brought up by this demo are amazing. Don't think just Shakespeare, but math, science, and of course, history and foreign languages, would all be enhanced through interactive video. Someone with an enterprising mind might want to check out this technology, there's money to be had here.
Another use surprised even the people who created Popcorn. In the accompanying video for Firefox 9's Add-Ons, they were surprised that the framework was being used to show synchronized interactive content. When the video talks about a particular add-on, the add-on shows up in a column next to the video, which can then be clicked for information and download. When discussing wallpaper content, Personas, through my Firefox browser, the top and bottom of the page changed to that wallpaper to give a mini-preview of what it would look like.
Popcorn Has A Bright Future
We're already seeing some pretty cool demonstrations of this application. It looks like it opens the door for a great amount of creativity in all video content. Right now, education and information appears to be its niche. I can totally see interactive movies and shows using this one day, though, providing extra content to enhance the experience. I'm looking forward to seeing how Popcorn will be used next.

I've noticed that AO's Spell Check feature doesn't work very well (at least not with IE). If you would like a client-side spell checker than you can use the little htm file that I have attached. If you are running under any Windows version and MS Word installed on your PC here's what you need to do to install it:
[list=1][*]Copy the SpellCheck.htm file to any convenient folder[*]Run regedit (I suggest you make a backup copy of the registry before you begin)[*]Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt[*]Add a new Key named Spell Check (or anything else you want to call it)[*]Click on the Default, right click, and choose Modify[*]Enter the path to SpellCheck.htm (e.g. C:\htm files\SpellCheck.htm)[*]Right click on the Spell Check key and choose New|Binary Value[*]Change the name of that value to contexts[*]Right click on contexts, choose Modify and type in 04[*]Restart AO, highlight the text in a post that you want to spell check, right click, and choose Spell Check.

After all the drama, Jon Gosselin may still be confused as to what he really wants. He recently told a tabloid magazine that he wants to restore his relationship with estranged wife, Kate Gosselin.
"I regret my conduct," he says in an interview. According to the interview, Jon wants to suspend his divorce from Kate for 3 months in order to restore their relationship and communication. In a press release, Jon said: "I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated. I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon."
Jon has been linked to Deanna Humel, Kate Major, Stephanie Santoro and Hailey Glassman. Jon has denied any romantic relationships with all these ladies mentioned above with the exception of Hailey.
Even though It all sounds sincere, the only problem is Kate is unaware of his intentions according to RadarOnline. A source says Jon sent a letter through an arbitrator to be delivered to Kate. Another source reveals that Kate was both surprised and shocked to read about Jon's intent to slow down the divorce process.
Yesterday, it was reported that TLC was changing the name of Jon & Kate Plus 8 to Kate Plus 8, the network announced.
UPDATE — According to Radaronline, Kate has decided to go full speed ahead with the divorce despite Jon's proclamation. "Kate sees no reason to wait and drag this out," a source close to the situation says. "She doesn't think Jon is being sincere in his comments. She thinks it's all a publicity stunt."
Tell Us: Is Jon sincere or this a plot to remain in the spotlight?

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Training the youth for the challenges of a fast-changing world has to be central to any strategy to rebuild the job market following a financial crisis that's wiped out millions of middle-class jobs over the past five years.
That was the central conclusion that emerged from the annual Associated Press debate at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss village of Davos, which focused on the need to build up skills for a changing economy.
"We need a young labor force," IMF Deputy Managing Director Min Zhu said. "Government doesn't pay enough attention to training and retraining."
Amid concerns that the rich world is faced with a lost generation of young people with dismal job prospects, panelists suggested other ideas in the debate that was moderated by the AP's senior managing editor for U.S. news, Michael Oreskes. Proposals included the creation of "green" jobs to save the planet from climate catastrophe and lowering the costs of hiring first-time workers.
The International Labor Organization estimates that young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults, and that worldwide around 75 million youth aged between 15 and 24 are looking for work. This youth employment crisis, it says, threatens to scar "the very fabric of our societies."
Eric Cantor, a Republican Congressman from Virginia, said training is needed to give workers the tools they need for the "new labor force."
"America is a huge catalyst for growth," he said. "Workers need to be trained to get into those jobs."
He warned, however, against piling more government money on schools without coming up with a "better way" to create new skills.
An Associated Press analysis of employment data from 20 countries found that millions of mid-skill, mid-pay jobs have already disappeared over the past five years — jobs that form the backbone of the middle class in developed countries.
That experience has left a growing number of technology experts and economists pondering whether middle-class jobs will return when the global economy recovers, or whether they have been lost forever.
Italian Finance Minister Vittorio Grilli, also at the debate, argued that technology doesn't have to be the enemy, and "will provide a second wind to advanced economies."
He warned that shrinking birth rates are making economic prospects even worse.
"To get people employed you need young people to be born," he said. "Growth can only come from a lot of young people being very productive very soon. That has to be the first question."
Emerging markets may offer some ideas to the developed world in its new jobs conundrum.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan, whose country has generated 4.6 million jobs over the past five years, credited the performance on a host of innovative policies, such as paying the wages of some young people when they first enter the workforce.
"The biggest problem is the cost of entry to the job market," he said. "If an employer thinks it is less expensive to hire then employment becomes easier."
Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz suggested focusing on "green, renewable jobs" to help solve the youth unemployment crisis as well as the planet.
In Europe, where youth unemployment is a huge issue particularly in Greece and Spain where the rate stands at over 50 percent, the job market rehaul will not be easy and certainly won't be fast.
"It's a slow process and unfortunately it's going to be a painful one," Grilli said. "It involves people changing their lives."

Insane Fight Double-Feature: Ref Cam Catches Bloody Battle w/Head Kick KO and a Jordanian Grappling Match for the Ages
I've said this before, but perhaps my favorite aspect of working at CagePotato is not the seemingly endless bankroll to sponsor stuff like this, the kick-ass company car (an '84 Celica, red), or the mandated "Sexy Bikini Party Fridays" written into all our receptionists contracts. No, the cocaine mountains and rampant sexism are nice and all, but the real reason I come into the office two afternoons a month is you guys. Specifically, the insane fight videos you guys often pass along to us via our tips line.
Take this undiscovered gem of a scrap between Ibrahim El Sawy and Hashem Arkhagha that went down back in December 2012, which was passed along to us by CP reader Farzeen Mohmed. In the main event of an already exciting night of fights put on by Jordanian fight promotion Desert Force, El Sawy and Arkhagha took things to a WHOLE. NOTHA. LEVEL, exchanging near-knockouts and submission attempts with reckless abandon for two action-packed rounds. While the second doesn't quite stack up to the first in terms of action, it does fit the very definition of a war of attrition. And hey, Yves Lavigne even shows up to ref this thing! SCORE.
Check out the full fight above, then join us after the jump for an equally, if not more riveting fight between a couple of unbreakable Aussies.Read More DIGG THIS

Jets re-sign LB Calvin Pace to 1-year deal
Apr. 23, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets have re-signed outside linebacker Calvin Pace to a one-year deal.
Pace, who spent the past five seasons in New York, was cut in February in a cost-cutting move. He could end up starting again this season, along with free-agent signing Antwan Barnes, although the Jets could still target a pass-rushing linebacker such as LSU's Barkevious Mingo with one of their two first-round draft picks.
Pace, a 2003 first-round pick by Arizona, spent his first five seasons with the Cardinals before signing a six-year deal with the Jets in 2008. The 32-year-old Pace has 42 career sacks, but struggled with various injuries and his role changing at times, limiting him to 13 sacks — including just three last season — in the past three years.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Philadelphia abortion doctor convicted of murdering three babies during late-term abortions pleaded guilty on Tuesday to selling prescription drugs out of his clinic, federal prosecutors said.
Kermit Gosnell, 72, was sentenced in May to three life terms without parole after being found guilty on three counts of first-degree murder. As part of a deal that spared him from the death penalty, Gosnell waived his right to appeal.
He was also sentenced to up to five years for the involuntary manslaughter of a patient, Karnamaya Mongar, 41, of Virginia, who died from a drug overdose after going to him for an abortion.
On Tuesday, Gosnell pleaded guilty to another series of charges, including conspiracy to distribute oxycodone, alprazolam, and codeine, and maintaining a place for the illegal distribution of those drugs. He will be sentenced on those charges in October.
Gosnell admitted to writing fraudulent prescriptions for thousands of prescription pills to individuals, in some cases without performing an exam. Customers were allowed to purchase multiple prescriptions under multiple names, according to prosecutors.
In January 2010, Gosnell wrote more than 2,300 prescriptions for controlled substances that were later filled at pharmacies, according to prosecutors.
Graphic trial testimony at Gosnell's murder trial centered on his actions at the now-closed Women's Medical Society Clinic in West Philadelphia, a clinic that served a predominantly black and low-income community. The trial cast a spotlight on the controversial practice of late-term abortions.
A clinic worker testified during the trial that Gosnell had delivered live babies during botched late-term abortions and cut their spinal cords.

text: On Wednesday, December 5, 2012, at 7:00 the Karl Drerup Art Gallery is proud to present a reading from Landaff Days, Sketches from New Hampshire's North Country by Don Wharton. The readings are of sketches Don has written since moving to town of Landaff, New Hampshire. The forests, fields, mountains, weather, wildlife and people are the particular subjects of his sketches of rural life "North of the Notch". He writes of a very special landscape and environment-at once inviting and challenging, beautiful and fierce at the same time. In Wharton's view Landaff is a microcosm of the larger natural world, having its own beauty, rigors and mystery. He writes with humor, empathy, realism and wonder as he explores and illuminates life in the North Country in Landaff Days.
