Almost half of home office workers prefer inkjet printers, according to a PC Advisor poll. When asked 'For your home office, do you prefer an inkjet or a laser printer?', 49 percent of respondents selected 'inkjet printer'.
This is, perhaps, unsurprising. Inkjet printers are great options for households and small businesses that print a variety of content, including text-based documents and high quality photos and images. Although not always the best at text reproduction, colour inkjets tend to be the most versatile printers with relatively inexpensive initial costs. They have traditionally been viewed as expensive to run in the longer term, because of their high ink cartridge costs. But good-quality modern inkjets enjoy lower ink costs and better efficiencies. Some even have discrete toner cartridges - so if one runs out you don't have to replace them all. It's always worth checking out the total cost of ownership before you purchase.
The next most popular answer in our poll was 'laser printer', with 31 percent of the home office workers who responded to the poll saying they use that type of printer. Laser printers are traditionally associated with high speed printing and cheap running costs, after an initially expensive purchase. They also tend to produce better quality text. We might have expected laser printers to have been much the most popular devices for home office workers, but the result supports the view that inkjet printers are starting to give lasers a run for their money. As we mentioned earlier, low ink replacement costs are bringing down the total cost of ownership of inkjets, and these days better quality inkjets boast impressive feature sets with functions such as automatic duplexing and document feeders, high capacity trays and remote printing functionality. Perhaps the biggest benefit for home offices is the versatility of inkjets, as lasers are unlikely to reproduce photos well, for instance.
Perhaps the best answer is to enjoy the best of both worlds, and 14 percent of respondents to the poll said they have both inkjet and laser printers in their home offices. Perhaps unsurprisingly for readers of the UK's best-read technology magazine, only 4 percent of respondents said they are not sure what the difference between a laser and an inkjet printer is. Read our printer buying advice and Buying advice: Five things to check when buying a printer for more on this.
Finally, despite years of businesses aiming for the 'paperless office' only 2 percent of respondents to the poll said they do not have a printer in their home office. This suggests that, even if only occasionally used, the printer remains a hugely important part of every business setup.
At the time of writing there have been 529 responces to the poll. Have your say. Vote now in our poll 'For your home office, do you prefer an inkjet or a laser printer?'

Author Notes: The ramp is a vegetable that needs to be treated like two dishes in one plant. I chop off the leaves just below the greenery and immediately saute them in a hot pan with a touch of olive oil. They puff like jade-green blimps, and they're a fantastic side dish for steak. The stems and bulbs have a different destiny... inside a mason jar. This easy pickling recipe is based on a brine I learned from Chef Cardoz of Tabla, and it's great when used to pickle anything from cauliflower to red onions. Although the ramps are terrific in savory cocktails, we usually chop them and throw them on sandwiches or in salads. - MissGinsu —MissGinsu
Food52 Review: Ramps make for terrific condiments, and it turns out, a terrific pickle. Here the sweet pickling liquid eases their feisty onion flavor and the spices hang in the back, there to support and nothing more. If you have a bunch of ramps and 10 minutes to spare, you can have a plentiful jar of ramp pickles at your fingertips. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 1 quart jar
Prep time: 72 hrs
Cook time: 15 min
cup sugar
cups white wine vinegar
teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
teaspoon fennel seeds
teaspoons coriander seeds
teaspoon fenugreek seed
pieces dried red chili peppers
pound ramp bulbs (with stems)
- Wash the ramp bulbs very well, discarding any loose membrane around the bulb. Make sure the leaves and any root material is trimmed away.
- Mix sugar, vinegar, mustard, fennel, coriander, fenugreek, chilies and cloves in a suitably sized pot. Bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, put the ramp bulbs into a clean, sanitized glass quart jar.
- When the brine comes to a boil, carefully pour it into the jar, covering the ramps. Leave at least 1 inch of space at the top of the jar, then cap tightly, allow to cool and refrigerate for three or more days.
- After three days, your ramps should be ready to enjoy on their own or as a condiment, but you can brine them for longer, and they'll keep (chilled) for months.

No matter where you live, you'll find spiders in and around your home. Although all spiders have mouth parts that can bite, most spiders aren't dangerous to people. Depending on the particular spider, it's either because its venom isn't toxic to people, or its mouth parts aren't strong enough to bite through human skin.
Two types of spiders found in the United States can cause illness in people. One type is the widow spider and the "black widow" is the best known. The other type is the recluse spider, and the brown recluse is the best known. A bite by either type usually is not deadly, but it may make a person very sick. It's important to get prompt medical help if you think you've been bitten by either type of spider.
Spiders are arachnids, the same group of animals that includes ticks, mites, and scorpions. All arachnids have 8 legs. (Insects have only 6 legs.)
Widow spiders. Five different species of widow spiders, including the "black widow," can be found in the United States. Of these, only 3 are black, and only the black widow has the classic reddish-orange "hourglass" shape on its belly. The bite of any of the widow types can cause a fairly severe reaction. The black widow causes the most frequent and severe poisonings. Black widows are not aggressive spiders unless they are provoked. They generally live in dark, quiet, undisturbed areas in and around a home like closets and basements.
Recluse spiders. Twelve species of recluse spiders, including the brown recluse, live in the United States. Only half of these are responsible for bites that have a major reaction in people. All the spiders in this group have fiddle-shaped markings on the upper part of their body. Besides the brown recluse, the other poisonous spiders in this group can be gray, orange, reddish-brown or pale brown. Like the black widow, the recluse spiders like quiet, dark, undisturbed areas in and around the home. They are nighttime spiders, so they come out mostly at night or when the light is dim.
A bite by either a black widow or a brown recluse spider may not be noticed at first. The bite is usually described as feeling like a pinprick or a light sting.
If you are bitten by a black widow spider, the area of the bite may begin to swell and hurt after about a half hour. The venom of a black widow spider is a neurotoxin. This means it affects the nerves and the brain. These are symptoms of a black widow spider bite:
Muscle cramps or twitches, usually near the site of the bite
Muscle spasms all over the body, sometimes within an hour of the bite
Severe belly pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting
Increased blood pressure
In severe cases, a person may become unconscious or stop breathing. Death from a black widow bite is rare. If it does happen, it is more likely in children younger than 2 or in adults older than 50.
If you are bitten by a brown recluse spider, pain and itching at the site of the bite will begin to increase after 4 to 8 hours. The venom of a brown recluse spider is a tissue poison. This means it can severely damage the skin around the bite. These are symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite, in the order they appear:
Redness and swelling happen first at the site of the bite.
A blood-filled blister develops at the site shortly thereafter.
An ulcer follows several days later, after the blister breaks and the skin falls away. The ulcer slowly gets bigger and creates a layer of dead issue. Some ulcers have reached 7 inches in diameter.
Other symptoms, when they happen, may include fever and chills, nausea and vomiting, joint pains and rashes. Several deaths have been reported.
Children are more sensitive than adults to spider bites. Deaths from bites either of the black widow or the brown recluse are more common in children than in healthy adults. It is important to protect children from spider bites.
If you are bitten by either a black widow or brown recluse, see your healthcare provider right away or go to the emergency room. Antivenin is available for black widow bites, but none is available for brown recluse bites. Other treatment is mostly to ease symptoms. The site of the bite should be cleansed and cold packs applied. Tetanus shots should be given.
Both the black widow and brown recluse spiders are shy and avoid areas of a home with lots of activity or open spaces. They prefer quiet corners of a home, dark areas under seldom-moved furniture, garages, sheds, and wood piles. Neither spider is overly aggressive. They usually bite only when provoked or trapped against the skin.
Teach your children to avoid reaching into areas where spiders may live without first inspecting them carefully to make sure no spiders are present. Webs and dead insects in an area usually show that spiders are active there. Children also should avoid playing around rock piles and woodpiles.
If you do yard work that involves handling logs or leaves, wear gloves. Shake out any blankets or clothes that have been stored in an attic or basement before using them. Carefully check shoes or boots stored in a mudroom or garage before putting them on.
You can limit the number of spiders in your home by having it sprayed with insecticide. Be sure to use only a licensed pest control company to do this. Insecticides carry their own risks, particularly if children, pets, or pregnant or nursing women are in the home.

AngeloR uses PostgreSQL
We use postgresql for the merge between sql/nosql. A lot of our data is unstructured JSON, or JSON that is currently in flux due to some MVP/interation processes that are going on. PostgreSQL gives the capability to do this.
At the moment PostgreSQL on amazon is only at 9.5 which is one minor version down from support for document fragment updates which is something that we are waiting for. However, that may be some ways away.
Other than that, we are using PostgreSQL as our main SQL store as a replacement for all the MSSQL databases that we have. Not only does it have great support through RDS (small ops team), but it also has some great ways for us to migrate off RDS to managed EC2 instances down the line if we need to.
Cloudcraft uses PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL combines the best aspects of traditional SQL databases such as reliability, consistent performance, transactions, querying power, etc. with the flexibility of schemaless noSQL systems that are all the rage these days. Through the powerful JSON column types and indexes, you can now have your cake and eat it too! PostgreSQL may seem a bit arcane and old fashioned at first, but the developers have clearly shown that they understand databases and the storage trends better than almost anyone else. It definitely deserves to be part of everyone's toolbox; when you find yourself needing rock solid performance, operational simplicity and reliability, reach for PostgresQL.
emidln uses PostgreSQL
Relational data stores solve a lot of problems reasonably well. Postgres has some data types that are really handy such as spatial, json, and a plethora of useful dates and integers. It has good availability of indexing solutions, and is well-supported for both custom modifications as well as hosting options (I like Amazon's Postgres for RDS). I use HoneySQL for Clojure as a composable AST that translates reliably to SQL. I typically use JDBC on Clojure, usually via org.clojure/java.jdbc.
ReviewTrackers uses PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is responsible for nearly all data storage, validation and integrity. We leverage constraints, functions and custom extensions to ensure we have only one source of truth for our data access rules and that those rules live as close to the data as possible. Call us crazy, but ORMs only lead to ruin and despair.
jflynn33 uses PostgreSQL
Tried MongoDB - early euphoria - later dread. Tried MySQL - not bad at all. Found PostgreSQL - will never go back. So much support for this it should be your first choice. Simple local (free) installation, and one-click setup in Heroku - lots of options in terms of pricing/performance combinations.

CLARKSDALE — Relatives of a slain Mississippi mayoral candidate are renewing their push for a federal investigation amid their complaints that local officials are withholding information about the case.
Clarksdale mayoral candidate Marco McMillian's nude and battered body was found Feb. 27 near a Mississippi River levee. The case drew national attention after his campaign said he was the first viable, openly gay candidate for office in Mississippi.
McMillian's sexuality was not an issue in his campaign, but because the 33-year-old aspiring politician was gay and black, some speculated that his death might have been a hate crime.
The suspect in the case also is black.
McMillian's parents are planning a news conference yesterday in Clarksdale with the National Black Justice Coalition and a lawyer from the firm of Parks & Crump, which also represented the family of Trayvon Martin. Martin was the teenager whose February 2012 death at the hands of a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla., sparked protests and outrage.
"Just like they had to make people conscious in Sanford, Fla., and the rest of the country, we're hoping to bring that same level of attention to this homicide, this murder," coalition executive director and CEO Sharon Lettman-Hicks said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
Attorney Daryl Parks told The Associated Press yesterday that McMillian's parents want a "fair and efficient investigation" but are concerned that so little information has been released about the death.
"We are simply demanding that there be a federal investigation," Parks said.
Lawrence Reed is charged with murder in the case.
"Some say the two were romantically involved while others are pleading the 'gay panic' defense, insinuating that Marco McMillian made unwanted advances to the murder suspect, Lawrence Reed," the National Black Justice Coalition said in the announcement of the news conference.
Federal law covers acts motivated by bias against sexual orientation, while Mississippi's state law against hate crimes covers acts motivated by race, but not sexual orientation.
Daniel McMullen, the FBI's special agent in charge in Mississippi, has said the agency has been "monitoring" the state investigation since March 1. FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said Wednesday that the agency is still doing so and referred questions to the Coahoma County Sheriff's Office, the lead agency in the investigation.
Parks said even the autopsy report released last week raised more questions than answers.
The report said Reed admitted to killing McMillian, but didn't give a possible motive.
And it said McMillian died from asphyxia, or a lack of oxygen, but didn't give a precise reason for the death beyond calling it a homicide. It said blunt force trauma most likely contributed to death.
In a letter to Coahoma County Sheriff Charles Jones dated May 1, McMillian's mother, Patricia Unger, said she feels the investigation "has not been conducted in an ethical manner."
"Please know that I am not questioning your expertise," she wrote to the sheriff. "I am merely trying to find answers to questions that I have about the murder investigation of my only child."
Unger said in the letter that she has been in contact with the sheriff twice, the day McMillian's car was involved in a wreck and he was nowhere to be found, and the next day when his body was discovered.
Unger wrote that the sheriff refused to discuss the case with her husband last month because he didn't want any leaks to the media.
"The problem has been no action, no communication with the family whatsoever about what is going on with Marco's case," said Carter Womack, McMillian's godfather and a spokesman for the family.
A spokesman for the sheriff's department didn't immediately respond to a message Wednesday.
Parks, the family's attorney, said in a telephone interview Wednesday that the injuries suggest something more than a mere "tussle" occurred.
The autopsy report said there were abrasions and lacerations on McMillian's head, back and legs and multiple "areas of second and third degree burns" on his body. Some of the cuts were from a "sharp and or pointed object," it said.
"It's almost a calculated, torture-type death," Parks said.
McMillian's body was found one day after Reed crashed McMillian's SUV head-on into another vehicle.
Reed was treated for injuries at the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tenn., and charged with murder after his release from the hospital. He was returned to Coahoma County, Miss., and has been held without bond.
U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, asked the FBI on March 5 to review the case for possible hate crime charges.

text: Scott Hendrie, Skull Artist AISEIRIGHWe are delighted to introduce Scott Hendrie. In this, his collection AISEIRIGH, Scott displays an original vision and concept, working with the skulls, antlers and horns of fallen beasts. His clever and adroit use of various techniques, and his careful and thoughtful observation of shape and structure, brings a resurrection, a nobility, to the pathos of the naked structure of the bare bones of these original works of nature.Born in Scotland in 1973, Scott's first, enduring, passion is music, a talent he still enjoys in its various forms. A classically trained pianist, his finely tuned ear is matched by the sensitivity and acuity of his vision. Much travelled, and a careful observer – of people, animals, cultures and the vagaries of life – in his exhibition AISEIRIGH, Scott has created an entirely original art form, a celebration of the beauty, power and presence of the beast.

Young babies naturally fuss and get cranky when they swallow air during feedings. Although this occurs in both breastfed and bottle-fed infants, it's seen more often with the bottle. When it happens, it may be helpful to stop the feeding rather than letting your infant fuss and nurse at the same time. This continued fussing will cause her to swallow even more air, which will only increase her discomfort and may make her spit up.
A much better strategy is to burp her frequently, even if she shows no discomfort. The pause and the change of position alone will slow her gulping and reduce the amount of air she takes in. If she's bottle-feeding, burp her after every 2 to 3 ounces (60–90 ml). If she's nursing, burp her when she switches breasts. Some breastfed babies don't swallow very much air, and therefore they may not need to burp frequently.
Most babies hiccup from time to time. Usually this bothers parents more than the infant, but if hiccups occur during a feeding, change his position, try to get him to burp, or help him relax. Wait until the hiccups are gone to resume feeding. If they don't disappear on their own in five to ten minutes, try to resume feeding for a few minutes. Doing this usually stops them. If your baby gets hiccups often, try to feed him when he's calm and before he's extremely hungry. This will usually reduce the likelihood of hiccups occurring during the feeding.
Spitting up is another common occurrence during infancy. Sometimes spitting up means the baby has eaten more than her stomach can hold; sometimes she spits up while burping or drooling. Although it may be a bit messy, it's usually no cause for concern. It almost never involves choking, coughing, discomfort, or danger to your child, even if it occurs while she's sleeping.
Some babies spit up more than others, but most are out of this phase by the time they are sitting. A few "heavy spitters" will continue until they start to walk or are weaned to a cup. Some may continue throughout their first year.
It is important to know the difference between normal spitting up and true vomiting. Unlike spitting up, which most babies don't even seem to notice, vomiting is forceful and usually causes great distress and discomfort for your child. It generally occurs soon after a meal and produces a much greater volume than spitting up. If your baby vomits on a regular basis (one or more times a day) or if you notice blood or a bright green color in your baby's vomit, consult your pediatrician.
While it is practically impossible to prevent all spitting up, the following steps will help you decrease the frequency of these episodes and the amount spit up.
Feeding your baby is one of the most important and, at times, confusing challenges you'll face as a parent. The recommendations apply to infants in general. Please remember that your child is unique and may have special needs. If you have questions, ask your pediatrician to help you find the answers that apply specifically to you and your infant.

Electrical hazards, specifically shock, arc flash, and arc blast, can result in serious injury or death to electrical workers. Work environments that create the potential for these events put everyone, including owners, at risk. However, many of these individuals fail to recognize these risks, thanks to several incorrect and dangerous beliefs that are ingrained in the electrical industry culture. Electricians may think that an electrical-related accident or injury can't happen to them, or even worse, accept that the risks are just part of the job. When taken with many employers' insistence that work be done hot, this belief creates the potential for serious injury. In fact, these ideals will often persist until a major electrical incident occurs and the personal and financial repercussions spur a change in policy.
Effecting change in the electrical safety culture doesn't have to be a reactive process, though. Minimizing hazards like shock, arc flash, and arc blast is necessary for providing an electrically safe work environment. And the process of achieving this goal begins with the implementation and practice of five key electrical safety principles.
Electrical safety regulations and standards
The first key to electrical safety is to understand and follow safety regulations and standards. OSHA is the "law of the land" for electrical safety regulations. The OSHA Act of 1970 requires employers to provide employees with a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm. Although not specifically stated, hazards such as electrical shock, arc flash, and arc blast would apply. Subpart S of OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 "Standards for General Industry" contains electrical safety requirements that deal with protection from electrical hazards.
Because of these electrical hazards, the general rule of thumb is to not work hot. OSHA 1910.333(a)(1), requires live parts to be de-energized before an employee works on or near them unless de-energizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is infeasible due to equipment design or operational limitations. It's important to understand that financial, convenience, or production concerns aren't acceptable reasons to work on equipment hot. Failure to follow this OSHA requirement is a violation of federal law and can result in fines and/or criminal indictment.
Part II 2-1.1.1 of NFPA 70E-2000 "Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces" has similar requirements. One difference, however, is that it uses the phrase "electrically safe work condition" instead of "de-energized." It defines an electrically safe work condition as a state in which the conductor or circuit part to be worked on or near has been disconnected from energized parts, locked/tagged in accordance with established standards, tested to ensure the absence of voltage, and grounded if determined necessary. Part II 2-1.1.3 of the standard details the process for achieving an electrically safe work condition.
Electrical safety program
The second key electrical safety principle is to establish and follow an electrical safety program, which is the employer's responsibility. The electrical safety program must be well thought-out, documented, and most importantly, put into practice. To develop an effective electrical safety program, all levels of personnel at a company or facility must be involved and committed to the program.
An essential part of any electrical safety program is training. OSHA 1910.332(b)(1) requires training for electrical safety-related work practices. This requirement is valid for both qualified and unqualified persons, and the level of training is based upon their respective job assignments. Similar to OSHA, NFPA 70E-2000 Part II 1-5 details electrical safety training requirements for qualified and unqualified persons.
NFPA 70E-2000 details other important requirements for an electrical safety program in Part II 2-3, including the following:
Awareness of electrical hazards and self-discipline of employees.
Identification of hazard/risk evaluation procedures.
Identification of electrically safe work procedures, tools, and personal protective equipment.
Identification of electrical safety principals, one of which is safety by design.
Electrical hazards
Understanding and identifying shock, arc flash, and arc blast is the third key electrical safety principle. Of these, electrical shock is the most common and well known. However, few are aware of the hazards presented by an electrical arcing fault and the resulting arc flash and arc blast, which cause severe electrical burns to more than 2,000 people in the United States each year.
An arc fault is initiated by current passing between two conducting metals through ionized gas or vapor caused by a flashover or other conductive material, such as a screwdriver. When an arc fault occurs, it produces an explosion with a significant amount of destructive energy.
The electrical arc produces temperatures that can exceed 35,000°F. This extreme temperature melts and vaporizes copper, which has an expansion ratio from solid to vapor of 67,000, as well as other materials. The high heat, arc flash, and molten metal can ignite clothing and cause fatal burns as far as 10 ft away. The vaporization and expansion of copper cause the arc blast itself, and the hot rapid-air expansion produces the immense sound and pressure waves as well as shrapnel. Pressure waves can rupture eardrums, collapse lungs, and propel workers across the room or cause them to fall from ladders. All of this occurs in a fraction of a second and will continue until the overcurrent protective device operates.
After the electrical hazards are understood, they must be identified in the workplace. NFPA 70E-2000 Part II 2-3.1.5 requires a hazard/risk evaluation procedure as part of an electrical safety program. The first step for this analysis is the determination of the shock approach boundaries. NFPA 70E-2000 details three approach boundaries in Part II 2-1.3.4 and 2-1.3.5 for qualified and unqualified persons. Permitted approach boundary distances to exposed energized electrical conductors based upon the voltage level are shown in NFPA 70E-2000 Part II Table 2-1.3.4.
The second step is to perform a flash hazard analysis as required by NFPA 70E-2000 Part II 2-1.3.3. The first part of this analysis is to determine the flash protection boundary distance per Part II, 2-188.8.131.52. This is the linear distance between the exposed body part, such as the chest or face, and the potential arc flash source for a just curable burn. This distance can be calculated or may be approximated as worst case provided certain conditions are met. The second part of this analysis is to determine the personal protective equipment (PPE) required per NFPA 70E-2000 Part II 2-126.96.36.199 for use if work is done within the flash protection boundary. This is based upon the incident energy, a measure of the thermal energy (in calories/cm2) at a specific distance from an arcing fault, often 18 in. One method for calculating the incident energy is shown in NFPA 70E-2000 Part II Appendix B-5.
A new method can be used to determine not only the flash protection boundary, but incident energy and required PPE as well. Based on the IEEE 1584 Standard "Guide for Performing the Arc Flash Hazard Calculations," it contains newly developed formulas and details simplified methods for fuses and circuit breakers.
To better warn employees of electrical arc flash hazards, 110.16 of the 2002 NEC now requires labeling for equipment likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized. The labeling, which should be placed on both new and existing equipment, should warn of the potential arc flash hazards and the requirement for PPE. It should identify flash hazard analysis information, such as the flash protection boundary, incident energy and required PPE, although currently not required by the NEC.
Work procedures, tools, and PPE
The fourth key electrical safety principal is to use safe work procedures, tools, and PPE. Electrical work must be planned before it is executed. All work procedures should be reviewed, updated, improved, and modified periodically as needed. For non-hazardous electrical work—equipment in an electrically safe work condition—the plan is typically unwritten but may be part of a general checklist and/or job briefing. For hazardous electrical work—energized or potentially energized equipment—a written procedure is usually required with documentation including a hazard/risk analysis detailing shock approach boundaries, flash hazard analysis, and a checklist of tasks.
OSHA 1910.333 covers the requirements for selection and use of work practices. The general requirement per OSHA 1910.333(a) is: "Safety-related work practices shall be employed to prevent electric shock or other injuries resulting from either direct or indirect electrical contacts, when work is performed near or on equipment or circuits which are or may be energized. The specific safety-related work practices shall be consistent with the nature and extent of the associated electrical hazards."
The requirements for insulated tools, safeguards, and various types of personal protective equipment are detailed in OSHA 1910.335 and NFPA 70E-2000 Part II Chapter 3.
Safety by design
The final electrical safety principal is to increase electrical safety by design. One of the design considerations for electrical safety is to isolate the circuit. The use of isolation equipment to support preventive maintenance and repair for proper implementation of lockout/tagout procedures is an essential provision for electrical safety. This is especially important for motor loads and other loads that may require isolation for maintenance or repair purposes.
Another design consideration is to incorporate components or barriers that prevent the accidental contact of live parts. Components that are "finger-safe" or insulated barriers that prevent accidental contact provide increased protection from electrical shock and arc flash hazards during routine maintenance and troubleshooting.
Current-limitation can also be a key electrical design safety consideration. For example, current-limiting overcurrent devices can often be used to decrease the incident energy and arc flash hazards associated with arcing faults. By designing systems with current-limiting overcurrent devices, the flash protection boundary and level of PPE necessary may be able to be decreased. This can be an effective tool in increasing the feasibility of the task, such as checking for the absence of voltage while putting equipment into an electrically safe work condition.
The key electrical safety principles focus on the protection of owners, employers, and employees. To ensure a safer workplace, electrical professionals must change their existing cultures, beliefs and practices and follow electrical safety standards and regulations. By understanding electrical safety standards and regulations, establishing and following an electrical safety program, understanding and identifying electrical hazards, using safe work procedures, tools, and protective equipment, and improving electrical system safety by design, the electrical industry can work in a safer environment.

Ah, VeganMoFo. Convincing me to reflect and scroll through my digital photos, page by page, memory by memory. During the preparation for my much-referenced but seldom documented hiatus last winter, I felt a pull towards Cambodia (especially after pouring over this) so strong that I decided to spend the holidays there, by myself. It's difficult for me to put a lot, and even a little, of those travels and experiences and reflections into words – and it's been nearly a year now, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
I've spent the past few years doing a lot of versatile event planning on a fairly non-stop basis (on top of that whole long-running, soul-sucking office job I had then), and it was time to take a break and let my inner whimsy run free, nearly every day. I had studied abroad in college a decade before, with some now nearly-forgotten wandering across Europe, but nothing like this.
Anyhow, as for an experience I can document, at the recommendation of my wonderful friend Bahar, who I was fortunate enough to literally run into on the streets of Bangkok (I knew she was there, but still!), I made sure to stop by Peace Cafe when I was in Siem Reap, a vegetarian cafe, bakery, juice bar and community center all-in-one, for one of their hands-on, personal cooking classes. I made a long afternoon out of things, starting with a vibrant juice, learning about Cambodian vegetarian cuisine, enjoying what was likely the most generous meal of my entire trip, and finishing, appropriately, with a mug of cold Angkor beer. I couldn't get enough of that beer. Or amok. Or Cambodia. Or traveling – but I digress.
Photos, dishes and more below.

I love this dish.

UM in the NFL
On the eve of the NFL draft I thought I'd spark some discussion on the board by asking the following two questions:
- Which former Michigan player surprised you with how successful he was in the NFL?
- Which former Michigan player shocked you the most for failing to be successful in the NFL?
Here are my thoughts:
- I was always surprised at how long Chris Calloway played effectively in the NFL. He was undersized, had modest stats at Michigan, and always shared the spotlight with Greg McMurtry. Yet he played a long time with a fair amount of success for the Giants. (Much in the way that Jason Avant will play a long time.)
- The guy I am still amazed about his flame out is David Terrell. I know he wasn't known for his work ethic or fundamentals, but he was so amazing at Michigan and did absolutely nothing in the pros. Maybe he should have been the first evidence that Tom Brady was really good.
- I know it is early and there's still time for him to turn it around, but Chad Henne's lackluster career surprises me also. I do think that the lousy Dolphins played a part, but I thought he'd be solid.
- Other surprise disappointments that were mostly due to injury were Tripp Welbourne, Marquis Walker, and Brandon Graham (so far).

SHPO Presents 2011 Awards
The Oklahoma Historical Society's State Historic Preservation Office presented its 2011 Citations of Merit during an awards banquet in Guymon on June 9, a highlight of Wide Open for Preservation: Oklahoma's 23rd Annual Statewide Preservation Conference. The recipients have contributed to the preservation of Oklahoma's significant archeological and historic properties through research, public programming, restoration/rehabilitation, and other activities. The recipients included:
1. Atoka Pioneer Club Rehabilitation Project
In 1896, Czarina Conlan saw the need for a ladies literary club in the town of Atoka, and the Pioneer Club of Indian Territory was organized. Seeing a need outside the club membership, the club began to offer magazines and books to the public at a small annual fee thus making it Atoka's first lending library. In 1905, the organization became a Federated Women's Club and began construction of their clubhouse. In addition to the Club's literary pursuits, they used the building during World War I as a place for knitting and bandage making. It even served as the local teen town in the 1950s. But, over time, the building fell into disrepair. Then, in 2010, a group concerned about the condition of this National Register listed building, and fearing its loss, reorganized the club, raised funds, and restored the building's exterior.
2. Redlands Community College and Mass Architects, Inc. (El Reno)
The Darlington Chapel, located at Darlington Agency and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, has been rehabilitated to serve as a meeting and conference center for Redlands Community College. Funding for the project came, in part, from a special grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mass Architects was selected to plan the project work. The rehabilitation included installation of new doors and windows based on historic photographs, replacement of the roof deck, reinstallation of the metal roofing, and restoration of the metal dome. Extensive foundation work, masonry repair, and carpentry were necessary.
3. Public, Education & Government Access System TV (Enid)
Enid's Public, Education and Government Access System Television was recognized for its programming related to historic preservation in Northwest Oklahoma. From January through November 2010, PEGASYS TV aired ten fifteen-minute Talk Shows dedicated to historic preservation in Enid.
4. Daniel E. Wolever, Jr. (Enid)
Daniel E. Wolever, Jr., was recognized for his Rehabilitation of a historic house in Enid. He is the Enid Historic Preservation Commission's historian and lives in the Kenwood Historic District. But, his interest in preserving the community's heritage extends beyond service on the commission. In October 2008, he purchased the 1906 Queen Anne style house at 1217 W. Broadway, in Enid's Waverley Historic District. The fire-damaged house had been vacant for years, and there had been concern that it might have to be demolished. However, on June 27, 2010, Mr. Wolever's two-year rehabilitation project was showcased in Waverley's Parlor Tour of Historic Homes.
5. City of Fairview, Oklahoma
The City of Fairview rehabilitated the Fairview Municipal Building, constructed by the WPA in 1939. Located at 206 East Broadway, the building now serves as the Fairview Conference Center. The City utilized a 1 percent sales tax to finance the project. Rehabilitation work included repairing plaster, painting, removing bricks from the window openings, and installing sensitive replacement windows, in addition to interior work. The building is now used for conferences, meetings, weddings, proms, and reunions.
6. Guthrie First United Methodist Church
Guthrie's First United Methodist Church was founded on April 22, 1889. A building to serve the capital city was needed, and the impressive building was dedicated in 1910. But, three months later, the state church offices moved to Oklahoma City, and for decades the congregation used its meager resources to maintain and preserve the church. Then, in 2008, the congregation realized the need to plan for the church's preservation. With funding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Preservation Oklahoma, Inc. and private donations from members, an architectural firm was retained to develop a Historic Structures Report, which was completed in December 2009. With the HSR as a basis, a preservation plan was prepared for the building, and a capital campaign was completed in October 2010, generating $361,500. Rehabilitation work is slated to begin in spring 2011.
7. Friends of Peter Conser Historical Site Society and Mike Kertok (Hodgen)
Located near Hodgen, Le Flore County, the Peter Conser House is owned by the Oklahoma Historical Society and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As with many of its programs, OHS relies on partnerships to protect the historic properties it owns. The Friends group organized in 2005, and one of their goals was to help restore the Conser Barn. At least one foundation timber and several floorboards needed replacement. The OHS staff explained the need for the services of an architect to help plan the restoration project. So, the Friends group applied for and received a matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to retain these services, and Mike Kertok was selected to do the work. Next, the Friends group applied for and received funding from the Oklahoma Centennial Commission to carry out the restoration work, which was completed in 2007.
8. Citizens of Pittsburg County, Pittsburg County Commissioners, Pittsburg County Progress Committee, Architects in Partnership, and Pittsburg County Economic Development Authority Oversight Committee
The recipients have carried out a successful $10 million rehabilitation of the National Register-listed Pittsburg County Courthouse. The building was constructed in 1905 as the Busby Hotel. After it was almost destroyed by fire, the architectural firm of Layton, Hicks and Forsyth developed the plans for the building's conversion to serve as the county courthouse in 1926. By 2004 the courthouse was overcrowded and facing serious maintenance problems. The Pittsburg County Progress Committee, comprised of the County Commissioners, worked with Architects in Partnership to develop a plan for the courthouse's rehabilitation and for its financing. The rehabilitated, historic courthouse reopened during a special ceremony on September 17, 2010.
9. Muskogee's Soulful Story
Muskogee's Soulful Storytelling Evening was held on February 4, 2010 at the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, and it was the inaugural event in the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department initiative to celebrate Oklahoma's unique African American history and heritage. Muskogee's Story focused on the life of U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves and featured professional storyteller Dwe Williams. In the rich storytelling tradition of African American culture, Ms. Williams and her troupe Rhythmically Speaking used humor and song to celebrate the life of one of the greatest law enforcement officers to ever serve in Indian Territory and on the Muskogee Police force. The evening also included music by jazz saxophonist Jermaine Mondaine and a soul food meal prepared by the award-winning Cassandra Gaines.
10. Oklahoma Anthropological Society and Oklahoma Archeological Survey (Norman)
The Society and the Survey were recognized for their invaluable assistance to the Oklahoma Historical Society in the study of Historic Fort Gibson, a National Historic Landmark. The Society is a volunteer organization of avocational archeologists, and the Survey is the State agency charged with the identification and protection of Oklahoma's archeological resources. From 2006-2009, the Survey assisted OHS in the study of archeological resources at the Fort Gibson Historic Site with manpower, equipment, and expertise, and Dr. Leland Bement of the Survey directed the work. The Society's volunteers were critical to the success of the 2008-2009 excavations at the site to locate the original stockade.
11. Donald G. Wyckoff (Norman)
Dr. Don Wyckoff has significantly influenced the study of Oklahoma's archeology for five decades. He moved to Oklahoma from Kansas via New Mexico, and received his B.A. and M.A. in anthropology from the University of Oklahoma. Wyckoff received his Ph.D. from Washington State University based on his dissertation entitled Caddoan Adaptive Strategies in the Arkansas Basin, Eastern Oklahoma. Currently serving as the David Ross Boyd Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology, and Curator of Archaeology at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, he served as the Chief Archeologist for the Oklahoma River Basin Survey Project, the State Archeologist, and the Director of the Oklahoma Archeological Survey. He will retire on June 30.
12. Mason Realty Investors and Hornbeek Blatt Architects (Oklahoma City)
The Gaston Cadillac Building, located at 1007 North Broadway in Oklahoma City's National Register listed Automobile Alley Historic District, was approved as a certified rehabilitation for the federal and state preservation tax credits in September 2010. The rehabilitation underwent several years of planning that included a thorough structural analysis by two different teams of consultants. After the deteriorated foundation and superstructure were extensively reconstructed, the interior of the 6,400 square foot building was rehabilitated for commercial retail use. The rooftop was converted to a lunchtime terrace for employees of the adjoining building at 1015 North Broadway, also a certified rehabilitation. The two buildings today form part of the north boundary for Automobile Alley, one of Oklahoma City's most vibrant commercial areas.
13. OETA-TV (Oklahoma City/Tulsa)
The SHPO presented its Citation of Merit to OETA-TV for the Oklahoma News Report's Preserving History segment. These in-depth stories have featured Claremore's Belvedere Mansion, El Reno's Fogg House, the Pawnee Bill Mansion, and Ponca City's Marland Mansion. Recently, the segment focused on the listing of several historic districts in downtown Tulsa on the National Register of Historic Places and explained how the designation can stimulate rehabilitation in these areas. The two segments about the rehabilitation of downtown Sapulpa's Wells Building for the federal and state tax credits further demonstrated preservation's role in community revitalization efforts across the state.
14. Pawnee Business Council, Barrett L. Williamson Architects, Inc., and Builders Unlimited, Inc.
The Pawnee Business Council, Barrett L. Williamson Architects, Inc., and Builders Unlimited, Inc. were recognized for rehabilitation of three buildings in the Pawnee Agency and Boarding School Historic District, which is listed in the National Register. Two of the buildings now serve the new Pawnee Nation College. The former staff quarters was converted to offices and a conference facility, and the historic dining hall was adapted for use as classrooms. The third building, the Pawnee Indian Clinic, now serves as the tribe's community health center.
15. Cherokee Nation, Saline Preservation Association, and Fritz-Baily Architects
The Cherokee Nation and the Saline Preservation Association partnered in the Saline Courthouse Stabilization and Springhouse Restoration projects, and Fritz Baily Architects designed the project work. The Saline District Courthouse was built in 1884, and is the only survivor of the nine rural Cherokee courthouses. Its stabilization involved foundation repair, replacement of deteriorated wood siding, exterior painting, reconstruction of the porch, and restoration of the chimney and fireplace. The springhouse was painstakingly disassembled stone by stone. The wooden roof was moved by crane to a holding location and then refitted to the restored limestone building. The Limestone wall that surrounded the front of the springhouse and a low water dam were restored.
16. Stacey Bayles and Kelly Bayles (Tulsa)
Stacey and Kelly Bayles received the award for their collective efforts to preserve the history of the Eastern Oklahoma Tuberculosis Sanatorium. Stacey diligently worked to collect the history of the facility including interviews with staff, photographic documentation and letters from patients, while Kelly developed and maintains a website about the facility with history and photographs. Based on their efforts, the SHPO prepared a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the property.
17. Andrew Slaucitajs (Tulsa)
Andy Slauscitjas is a professional videographer and an avocational archeologist. As a member of the Oklahoma Anthropological Society, he has participated in several projects to document and preserve archeological sites. He produces a video record of site excavations while he also turns earth with a trowel. One video is entitled "A View From Jake Bluff". It tells the story of the excavation of a prehistoric Clovis culture bison kill site in northwest Oklahoma. The second video is entitled "Finding Fort Gibson," and it chronicles the stockade archeology project at the Fort Gibson Historic Site.
18-26.Guymon joined the Oklahoma Main Street Program in 2005, and several of the community leaders and property owners responsible for achieving Main Street status and for establishing a preservation ethic in the community were recognized with the SHPO's Citation of Merit. The recipients included:
18. David Black
David Black is the second-generation owner of Panhandle Furniture, a business his father established in the "old Ideal grocery store building. In the 1960s the Black's installed a metal facade and awning on the building. When room for expansion was needed, the Blacks purchased the 1970s building next door. With the assistance of Oklahoma Main Street Architect Ron Frantz and the Main Street Guymon Façade Squad, Black removed the metal facade and awning and installed new canvas awnings. Additionally, new transom windows and new signage added to the new image for Panhandle Furniture.
19. Hal and Pat Clark
Built in the mid-1940s, the Nash Building is located on N. W Fourth Street, just a block off Guymon's Main Street. Through time, the building's facade was modified to obscure its character. Then, in 2007, Hal and Pat Clark purchased the building. An impressive transformation began with a complete exterior and interior rehabilitation. The original façade was uncovered; attractive office space was created on the second floor; and retail space established on the first floor.
20. Alyssa Curtis
Alyssa Curtis was one of the original supporters of Guymon's efforts to implement the Main Street principles, and she led the way with her purchase and rehabilitation of the vacant building at 116 N.W. 5th to house her successful business, Studio 116.
21. Guymon Furniture
William King is a supporter of Main Street Guymon and a member of the Guymon City council. In 1986, he and his partner purchased Guymon Furniture, a long-time downtown business, and they relocated it to the mall on the north side of Guymon in 1991. But, in 2006, they purchased the Langston Buick Building, built in the late 1940's and returned Guymon Furniture to the downtown commercial district. King carried out an extensive rehabilitation effort that included interior work and installation of new exterior signage and an awning.
22. Butch and Marsha Jarvis
In 1977, Butch and Marsha Jarvis purchased the c.a. 1937 building at 507 N. Main which housed the Pioneer Bar and Rays Barber Shop. They re-roofed the building and refurbished it's interior, restoring the original tin ceiling and retaining original pine paneling. In 2005, they removed the building's false facade. They recognized the importance of Guymon's recent designation as a Main Street town and helped lead the way to improve the appearance of downtown. They refurbished their storefront, and Butch joined the Façade Squad to assist other property owners.
23. Guymon Main Street
Even with a collapsed roof and a badly rotted floor, Dr. Hayes office, 116 N.E. Fifth Street, still had character. The building had been vacant for over 50 years but when you looked at it, you knew it held some of Guymon's history within its walls. So, it was appropriate that the building's rehabilitation would be one of Main Street Guymon's first projects and become its new office. The building was donated to Main Street Guymon, and the rehabilitation work began. Through the hard work of many individuals and an experienced contractor, Floyd Kalm, the landmark building again serves the community, and Dr. Hayes' desk occupies a prominent place in the organization's office.
24. David and Sharon Petty
David and Sharon Petty stepped up as some of the first property owners to remove a metal façade and awning that seemed to cover most of Guymon's downtown buildings. Through her work on the Design Committee for the newly formed Main Street Guymon, Sharon knew it was important to set an example by making the changes the Oklahoma Main Street staff suggested. With the help of the Guymon Facade Squad, the metal facade was removed, and the new design scheme was implemented. Interior work is next, and the Petty's know that the original tin ceiling remains above the dropped ceiling.
25. Ronda Purvines
Ronda Purvines purchased the building at 419 North Main in 1999 and moved her Merle Norman studio into it. Ronda saw that downtown Guymon needed a boost, and she quickly joined the group that formed to apply for Main Street status. In 2006, just one year after Guymon received the recognition, Ronda took the design advice from the state Main Street staff, and with the help of the local Façade Squad, removed the metal front from her building. Not only did Ronda work to bring Guymon into the Main Street program, she did what she asked other people to do, uncover the character of downtown Guymon.
26. Chris Urias
In May 2008, Chris Urias, a professional photographer, purchased 511 N Main, a vacant donut shop. His original plan for the building was simply for a shooting location. First, he repaired the roof, and then he decided to replace the carpet. Chris discovered a beautiful hardwood floor, and with the help of a crew that had broken down in town and needed work, he got rid of the carpet and removed the glue that covered the entire floor. Chris says that he was showing his father the floor and pointing out some of the places where there were still marks and scars despite the rehabilitation work, and his father told him that those give it character. Chris says "the first thing people mention is the beautiful floor when they walk in." The character of the building caused Chris to decide to utilize the entire building for exhibits and retail space in addition to his studio and office.
27. Local Cosponsors of Out Front in Preservation: Oklahoma's 22nd Annual Statewide Preservation Conference (Okmulgee)
Okmulgee Main Street, the City of Okmulgee Historic Preservation Commission, and the Creek Council House Museum were the local cosponsors for Out Front in Preservation: Oklahoma's 22nd Annual Statewide Preservation Conference held June 9-11, 2010, in historic downtown Okmulgee. The SHPO and its statewide partners, the Oklahoma Main Street Center and Preservation Oklahoma, Inc., relied on these local cosponsors to help plan and present the event. Without the dedication, hard work, and many individual contributions from such organizations and agencies, the annual conference would not be possible. They made all local arrangements, received registration, and made everyone feel welcome.

OK. Has anyone watched Endless Eight -- all 8 episodes at once?
Just for kicks, I decided to just watch it a few minutes ago. And whoa. Endless Eight is far far better than what many might think.

It's really interesting how things are generally off sync -- especially the timing of the opening theme. Although, some pairs of episodes do match up in certain scenes, only to divert away from each other again. But then, wham... six of 'em sync up at the end.

Step 2: Release an awful second season.
Step 3: Go out with a bang by releasing a pretty good movie, then call it good.
Although to be fair, the strength of the episodes/movie were directly proportional to the strength of the stories they were based on.

No. Sure, it may be - in theory - that they really have no plans for further Haruhi anime but regardless of whether or not something is actually in the works, as long as the time hasn't come when they had planned to announce it, of course they're going to deny it.

One thing we generally can't see if trends and projections these companies use to deturming what they are going to animate. Nor can we see the thought process that is going on in the companies involved. Are things like that business, or artistic choices. There have been artists that could make a lot of money doing something again but refuse to do so. Either because they don't like to repeat themselves, they didn't like what it was or how it acted (depending on what form of art we are talking about, graphical or theatrical), or they just are the kind that always want to do something new.
Business would say do it if it makes money. What we can't say is if it would make money verses time and money invested into the production of said anime or movie. Mainly because we can only see the money earned via ticket sales and DVD sales. We never see how much this cost to produce.
On the other hand, there have been titles that waited decades for a sequel, and still got them. Sometimes it is a matter of politics. Sometimes it is a matter of the market (too much of something and it won't sell good). And sometimes it is just the guys are tired of it on the studeo end of things. We can't tell if Haruhi is "old news" for the artists and such. Or if events took their toll in internal politics within the companies involved even without fan reactions.
This is why it is hard to tell what things mean. We only get the external view. Never rarely do we get any insight about what is going on in the companies doors.
That and the production company seems to love to use the story for trolling effects. They are very, very meta if how they announce things. The trouble is, after Disappearance...what is the next major date for the storyline? Feburary 7th? 14th?

Kaisos has been the Haruhi pessimist for a while now. The hope would be to get the Genderbending thread going again...to distract from such news. The project was going fairly well. How many novels were plotted? And how many were actually redone with the Genderbent cast?
That seemed to be side tracked by the Visual Novel idea, which is sort of were I lost intrest as I had nothing of note to contribute anymore. At least with a novel swap I could poke and prod at characterization and ponder things within a frame of reference. Game structure is not something I've done, and that sort of art is not my style (one I've very out of practise, and I was mostly into ships and line art...not colors, and cetainly not people.) While story writing was something I use to do, my characters never seemed real enough. I was better as backstory, world building, and history like materials, than personal histories, personalities, and relationships.

Ithekro raises an interesting point in that we don't know what is going on internally with Kadokawa or Kyoto Animation. For all we know, they could be secretly working on it as we speak and they plan to yet again spring a "pleasant surprise" on us. Or perhaps KyoAni wants to do two cours of Haruhi and they are waiting for Tanigawa to release novel 12 so that they don't blow through the rest without anything left in the tank.
It is also possible that new Haruhi just happens to be below Little Busters or whatever else is on KyoAni's waiting list and Kadokawa is just waiting for KyoAni to say they're ready to do more Haruhi.
And of course, they could have no plans to air Haruhi on TV, but they do have plans for another movie and possibly some OVAs.
As a fan of the franchise, I would love for them to just tell us when we ought to expect more Haruhi, but Kadokawa and Kyoto Animation have always been secretive and have told half-truths and outright lies in the past so I don't expect that to change.

If they're lying, this answer would look better after the fact than the one they did give, which is more definitive (presuming its translated correctly).
However, if they really do have no plans on doing a third Haruhi season, maybe it is better to say "We have no plans for a third Haruhi season" in order to quash all hope right now and get it over with.
I have to admit that I'm not feeling terribly optimistic right now about the future of the Haruhi anime franchise.

Gluten Free Travel Tips: Gluten Free Airline Meal Reviews, Gluten-Free Airport Meals (Chicago and London)
As you may know, this month the Book of Yum is On the Road, in a big way. This last Thursday we got on a plane to Bangalore, India, and will be spending two and a half weeks here in India, and then continuing on to Europe for two weeks. DH and I love to travel, but I always wonder what the gluten-free meal situation will be like en route. This time it worked out fairly well.
On this leg of our journey we flew on American Airlines and then British Air. Although we requested special meals, I also brought tons of food, keeping in mind the no-liquids or gels issues. (The London Heathrow airport is especially strict, and so I kept in mind the fact that we would be changing planes there). The night before our trip I made a batch of Bette Hagman's biscotti from "More from the Gluten Free Gourmet" and two batches of Rebecca Reilly's graham crackers. I thought not only would it be good to have these things on the plane, but they would also undoubtedly serve me well once we reached our destination for quick snacks or even work as a meal when paired with a breakfast cappucino or piece of fruit. Of course I could just buy snacks (and in fact, did buy some), but generally homemade baked goods taste better and are substantially less expensive. I packed my biscotti in a big gallon ziploc bag and the homemade graham crackers in tupperware packed carefully with paper towels to keep them from moving around and breaking. [Update: None broke!] I also brought snack bars, fruit leather (ate them on the plane before arriving in case even dried fruit was a problem), Ever-g Foods GF pretzels, garden of eating cheese curls (not exactly healthy, but at least no trans-fats and they satisfy cravings for a savory snack), chocolate, Nana's no gluten lemon cookies, and Ian's GF individually wrapped 140 calorie snack packs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Buttons. Speaking of Ian's Natural Foods, I don't know if you are familiar with their products, but lately they've really expanded their gluten-free product lineup to include frozen Gluten Free French Toast Sticks, Popcorn Turkey Corn Dogs, Battered GF fish, and even GF and DF Soy Cheesy French Bread Pizza. Some of these products are still hard to find- I only found the cookie packs recently at my local Whole Foods and haven't seen many of the others. I keep hoping to find the French Toast sticks, but so far no luck. So just in case the airlines completely failed me, I would have been reasonably well off, although a little, er, nutritionally deficient. Also, in security at the San Francisco airport, Heathrow airport, and finally Bangalore airport, there were absolutely no comments or notice paid to my food. I put it all in my carry on to avoid mishandling by baggage handlers and to keep it accessible during the flight, as well as to answer any questions in person if necessary. I think if you just avoid fresh produce, meat, and any liquid/gel foods like yogurt you can manage to bring GF food on a flight without too much hassle. While it is probably recommended to bring a doctor's note about Celiac to help explain the surplus of food stashed in your bag, I personally have never done this and I haven't had any food confiscated. It helps to try to find out as much as possible about food regulations in the countries you will be stopping in and try to avoid anything that might be questioned.
Unusually, I was also able to find food at both the airport in Chicago, pre-made packaged sushi: available both in sashimi varieties and vegetarian, and at the London Heathrow airport. The latter was just pure luck, as I stumbled on this family style English/American restaurant called Garfunkels, saw the menu and saw several possibilities that inspired me to try it. Not only did they have several very tasty looking salads including a goat cheese, avocado, and grilled eggplant dish or a fresh basil mozzarella salad, but they also had a delicious and simple meal of a perfectly baked potato with a cheese omelet and simple salad. I ordered the latter, as after 15 hours or so in the air, I was really craving a wholesome baked potato. The meal was very, very safe and very satisfying, if not especially gourmet. I loved that I could order a basic potato with the meal. 3D Virtual tour of one of their restaurants here
Not only was I able to eat at the airports, but the gluten free meals on both flights were quite palatable. We generally request a vegetarian meal and a gluten free meal for both flights, figuring that between the two of them there will be enough food for me to get by. It's unfortunate that you can't combine dietary requests in a special meal order, but I guess things would be complicated for the airline if you could. DH is willing to eat the vegetarian meal if it doesn't work for me, and he can usually request a leftover ordinary meal for seconds if it isn't substantial enough. For long international flights I err on the side of caution and if anything looks suspect about the vegetarian meal, just avoid it. Happily for me as a sometimes-pescatarian, both flights served salmon for their gluten-free meal, and although I had to pass on the vegetarian meals, the gf meal worked out. One note- the lengthy flight from San Francisco to Chicago skipped serving a meal entirely, although they offered us the option to buy a sandwich a few other gluten options, and potato chips (possibly GF) for a VERY hefty sum. The American meal on the flight to London was great because it had grilled salmon on rice, super yum, with steamed baby bok choy and some tasty nutty sauce on the rice(just a dab). It also came with a German Chocolate Sun Flour cookie- nicely labeled gluten free with ingredients. Although I've had some negative experiences with the Sun Flour cookies (based on pinto bean flour), the coconutty chocolate cookie was downright tasty. On the flight from London to Bangalore the British air meal was not quite as tasty, but they served plain salmon with pretty good mashed potatoes and some very, uh, well cooked veggies in a buttery sauce. While the GF meal just had some rather nasty prepared pears for dessert, the vegetarian meal came with kick-patootie rice pudding from Ireland, labeled, that I gobbled half of- DH ate the other half.. It was awesome and confirmed my faith in the advantage of ordering the vegetarian meal in addition to the gluten-free meal. Breakfasts were less satisfactory. American Airlines served me a suspicious looking bagel in the American airlines meal carelessly wrapped in saran wrap with no label. While it might POSSIBLY have been GF and it was different than the regular meal's croissant, DH (my official guinea pig/ taste tester) thought it tasted wheaty so I avoided it. Personally, I never eat bread products that aren't labeled because I have had careless stewards throw on a roll from the regular meal onto the special meal. (Flight to Paris, 2001- scary but they did serve very tasty cheese and luckily I didn't eat the roll.) I so never want to embark on a marathon gluten-inspired barfing session on a plane. The British air breakfast was
decent, but light (left me still hungry) with some more potato mash and i think eggs. Unfortunately it had a big fat slice of ham on the bottom of the dish which I threw away- not ideal, but what can you do.
The point of this post is not necessarily to tell you what you can expect from any gluten-free meal on American airlines or British airlines, as they differ by day and destination. But I did want to let you know the type of meal options you can expect and also a few tips I've picked up on these kinds of marathon international trips.
When traveling gluten-free internationally:
1) PACK GLUTEN-FREE SNACKS. These snacks should be hardy and unlikely to be damaged by humidity, dryness, or being shook around in your bag. I like to pack homemade biscotti (check Bette Hagman or Rebecca Reilly's cookbooks for some great recipes), Bette Hagman's parmesan toast points, and homemade GF crackers. Prepared snacks are great too- you can try packaged nuts, dried fruit (may not be appropriate for customs), prepared GF cookies or crackers found at Trader Joes or a health food store (Glutino's round crackers are great), your favorite GF chips or GF cereal, or any packaged treats that will last well.
2) READ UP ON AIRLINE REGULATIONS. Lately liquids and gels are serious issues- you may be able to pack them in your checked bags but they will be an issue in carry on. You may be able to get small amounts of gel/liquid food in by packing them in a clear, quart sized bag, but anything over 3 oz. won't be allowed. Also, it's highly doubtful you will be able to take juices or water from home through security, so don't count on it… you may be able to purchase water or juice once you're past security, and may be able to take these on the plane, but it's not a sure thing, and regulations can change.
3) REQUEST YOUR GF MEAL as early as possible. Most airlines require at least 24 hours notice, and it's hard to make it through a long flight without a supplementary hot meal, IMO. Flying is tiring enough without being hungry too.
4) GRAB A MEAL WHEN YOU CAN. If you see something at the airport you can eat, get it and eat it or take it on the plane. You won't be sorry (except maybe at paying exorbitant airport prices). You never know when you'll be able to find a decent meal- and with airline penny pinching you may be surprised at how often they DON'T feed you. This is especially important on a layover before a long second leg of a flight. You've probably eaten any prepared meal that you brought with you already and you can't necessarily count on a palatable GF meal on the plane. Good bets are: sushi places, fries (if you trust McDonalds), and some prepared salads- fruit salad is especially likely to be safe. You might be able to grab and eat a yogurt at this point, even if you can't get it on the plane.
5) RESEARCH YOUR DESTINATION, especially in regards to their regional cuisine and any gluten typically found in that cuisine. Contact the Celiac Association for the country that you will be visiting and see if they can't provide tips on restaurants, housing, and shopping. Many European destinations may surprise you at how many options they have for the gluten free tourist! Print out gluten free dietary cards in the language of the country you will be visiting. It can't hurt to learn how to say "celiac" or "gluten free" in that country's language. You may also find helpful tips from locals or experienced travelers/expats by posting on travel forums.
6) PACK SOME EMERGENCY MEAL STAPLES, especially if you can arrange hotels with microwaves. I like to bring Thai Kitchen noodle pouches (in onion or garlic) for a 3 minute microwave meal. If you know you'll have a kitchen and your destination is not likely to have such things easily available, it may be worth it to bring gluten free pasta or powder pasta sauce mixes in your checked baggage. (Mayacamas will turn a boring hostel pasta into WOW satisfying pasta. They served me well when traveling around Japan solo. You can find them in some health food stores or on Amazon.
7) BE FLEXIBLE! It's especially hard when we have needs or dietary requests that don't fit neatly into one category. Being gluten-free while traveling can be difficult, but being gluten-free and vegetarian or dairy-free etc. can be even harder. Try to be creative- have your plane companion order a special meal that fits your other dietary profile and then combine the two for something edible. If restaurants and plane food aren't working for you, try an airport convenience store- treat yourself to some chocolate bars or chips that you wouldn't ordinarily indulge in. Hey, all those calories may just keep you going! Do be careful with airport trail mixes- the odd brands they often carry can contain oat flour on the chopped date component. Also, in the airport check out regional specialties for an impromptu snack. Sees candies is just one example of a regional food that is sold as a souvenir but just might make a fabulous treat for a forlorn and hungry GF veggie. If you have access to the internet, you can verify gluten free status on a site like the SillyYaks Yahoo group or GF forums. (Do a keyword search on google and see what comes up).
and most important,
8) HAVE FUN! I have to admit, travel is one of the few times being gluten-free can get me down. But, if you prepare well ahead and roll with the glutenous punches, you can travel safely and in good health. And while sometimes travel is all about the food, sometimes it really isn't. Take a good long look at the Taj Mahal… Enjoy the tranquility of a Zen garden… Go on a jungle safari in Africa- and what you eat or don't eat won't seem so significant anymore. The world is an amazing place, and we can't let any pesky diet get in the way of exploring it!
I'll keep you posted on our trip one bite at a time- right now I'm at my husband's company's branch office in Bangalore, looking out the window at another building with a "Shabari Bakes N Sweets" sign for a restaurant selling snacks… We're having a wonderful time and I'm so glad I came!

New MediaNews CEO urges employees to embrace social
John Paton, named today as CEO of MediaNews Group, urged employees to participate in social media.
It's hard to discuss social media in a business setting if you don't use it. You don't have to use it a lot, but you do have to use it. You have to figure out what other people are doing. And if you don't do that, if you don't use it, then how do you participate in the important meetings at MediaNews about where you're going with your company when so many people do that? If you don't use the smartphone or participate through a tablet or some version of that, it's pretty hard to keep up.
MediaNews is the publisher of The Denver Post and more than 50 other daily newspapers.
Paton, 54, said transitioning to the web wasn't natural for him.
"My father worked on presses and I started as a copy boy in the newsroom," he said. "It's not a natural thing to just migrate over to the web. You have to play with it."

Mr. Speaker, it was my great honour this past Saturday, June 3, to attend the second annual Celebrating Youth Awards event hosted by hockey legend Bobby Orr at the hall of fame that bears his name in Parry Sound. This event recognizes and celebrates the contribution of youth 17 years of age and under in the west Parry Sound area. It is always inspiring to hear the accomplishments of these local young people.
As the member of Parliament for Parry Sound—Muskoka, I have had the great privilege of getting to know my hockey hero, Bobby Orr. While his accomplishments during his career were truly remarkable, what he has given back to his hometown of Parry Sound is even more amazing. Bobby Orr's generosity is only outdone by his great humility. As such, I feel it is important to rise in this House to recognize his tremendous support for youth in my riding and the many other significant contributions he has made to Parry Sound and all of Canada.
