Saint Andrew's Court, the capital of Saint Andrew
Map of Saint Andrew, with cities.
Saint Andrew is a Secundomian state bordered by Harmony Lake, Harmony South, Fairfield, South Hill, Switzer and Nottingham. The Capital of St. Andrew is St. Andrew's Court.
Saint Andrew was originally founded as the union of two cities, Amber and Bentwood. When these two cities became a state, the capital was agreed to be St. Andrew's Court, a small road in the center of Bentwood. Before the founding of Switzer and South Hill, Lower Saint Andrews was formed by the development of Upper Tomahawk Valley by Amber and Bentwood. However, with the founding of Switzer and South Hill by the Secundomian Government, St. Andrew was given in return for parts of Lower Saint Andrews the cities of Gleneagles and part of Upper Brookhollow (Eagle Point).
The Tomahawk Valley Natural Preserve lies in the middle of Saint Andrew. It separates Upper Saint Andrew from the cities to the south. This was preserved by the United States Government, and eventually also by the Republic of Secundomia on October 29, 2011.

Some people think of commercial property insurance as coverage for their building, when in fact it is much more than that. Commercial property insurance should include everything from computers, files, furniture, product inventory, and your building. It will protect your business property against the devastating effects of a loss.
When you go to purchase the insurance you should consider what it would cost if you had to replace everything. Our producers and account managers at L Calvin Jones & Co. will discuss with you the options that are available to properly insure your commercial property. They will explain to you the benefits of a great Commercial Property Insurance policy as well as explain the difference between the three different causes of loss forms. Basic, broad, and special are the three different types. They will also explain co-insurance and when it comes into play during a claim.
A Commercial Property Insurance Policy can be customized to your specific needs. This coverage is available to any business owner with property to insure. Even if you lease space, you will want to consider all your furniture, equipment, inventory, and files etc. There may also be coverage for the improvements and betterments that you install into your leased space, depending on the coverage that you purchase.
Your Business Property would include your Building and your Business Personal Property. Business Personal Property would include your equipment, furniture, and fixtures. You can add Equipment Breakdown and Property Enhancement form which can give additional coverage for things such as Sewer and Water Back-up, Sign Coverage, Accounts Receivable, Debris Removal, and many other coverages.
Coverage is available for replacement cost or actual cash value (ACV). A replacement cost policy ensures that your settlement is based on what it cost you to replace the items at their current market prices, while an actual cash value policy reimburses you for the property's depreciated value.
Our producers and account managers can also offer you optional coverages to consider, such as Business Income with Extra Expense. Business income coverage reimburses your business for revenues you have lost because of downtime caused by damage to or loss of your property. Extra expense insurance reimburses you for expenses incurred to avoid or minimize the suspension of business due to a loss.
Many of the insurance companies that we represent offer special programs and enhancement forms for commercial insurance customers that can give you additional coverages. All of the insurance companies are Best Rated companies and we can provide you with a copy of their ratings.

Stanley Johnson is a talented player (Kim Klement - USA Today Sports)
Bulls continue to round out roster with trio of signings
by Dustin Riese - Senior Writer - Wednesday, September 8, 2021, 9:46 AM
Throughout the NBA offseason, the Chicago Bulls have not only retooled their entire roster but have been one of the more aggressive teams in doing so. In the process, you have a team that not only has Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams, Coby White, and Zach LaVine, but now you add Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, and DeMar DeRozan into the mix.
Those top seven players will compete with any roster out there, and the Bulls should be thinking playoffs this season. All seven of those guys can score, and all seven can beat you in a variety of ways, so defenses will have to pay close attention to the Bulls offense this season. Outside of those seven names mentioned, the Bulls have a bunch of players slotted to make the bench, but no real threats of someone who can take over a game.
They lost Lauri Markkanen and Thaddeus Young, among others, and haven't addressed those needs on this team. Not to mention with the Williams expected to be the starting PF this season and the Bulls lack overall height, which will be a problem as the season goes on. Guys like Marko Simonovic and Tony Bradley added to the mix this season, and those two will be looked at, providing the team quality minutes to make up for the points and minutes lost by others.
However, with training camp less than a month away, as is the first preseason games for the season, Chicago continues to round out their roster as they still have some positions to fill. They took care of many of those positions over the weekend by signing a trio of players in forwards Stanley Johnson and Alize Johnson and sharpshooter Matt Thomas. That leaves the Bulls with one more roster spot to fill if they chose to, along with one two-way deal if needed.
Going back to the weekend signings and we will start with Stanley Johnson, who the Bulls should be familiar with. Not only that, but offseason pickup DeRozan also is familiar with how Stanley Johnson plays, given they played together briefly in Toronto. At 25 years old, Stanley Johnson hasn't reached his full potential as a player but will be an excellent defensive standout off the Bulls bench this season.
Johnson was a former top 10 pick, No. 8 to be exact by the Detroit Pistons in 2015, and now has 377 career games under his belt. At 6-6 242 pounds, what Johnson lacks in overall height, he will undoubtedly make up for in size and physicality as he provides the Bulls with some excellent depth at the SF or PF positions. Not a big-time scorer, Johnson has averaged just over 6.2 PPG across his career, with a career-best season coming in 2017 when he averaged 8.7 PPG. Last year with the Raptors, the Bulls got an up-close and personal look at what Johnson could do as he dropped 36 points against them in an April contest.
That is not saying that Johnson will go out and ball at that level every game, but instead, he does have the potential to put up numbers similar to Young. If the Bulls can get that from him, you are looking at quite a nice pickup late in the offseason. Given his young age and someone who has yet to reach his full potential, you added another intriguing piece for the Bulls to build around.
Speaking of Johnson's, the Bulls doubled up on Johnson signings by adding Alize Johnson to a two-year contract. Another forward who will most likely fill in the backup PF role, Johnson, is also 25 years old after being selected by the Indiana Pacers at No. 50 in the 2018 NBA draft. After Paul Millsap and LaMarcus Aldridge chose to sign elsewhere last week, the Bulls still needed PF depth and called Johnson after the Nets elected to release him.
Not the tallest or longest forwards in the game, Johnson makes up for that with pure athleticism, which is something the Bulls are going to have a lot of this season. Primarily a G-League player who had put up consistent numbers, Johnson finally had a chance to see the floor consistently last season, although limited to just 18 games.
After averaging just 1.4 PPG in his first 31 games across two seasons with Indiana, Johnson nearly tripled that scoring output last season while playing in just 18 games. During his small sample size with the Nets, Johnson averaged 5.2 PPG, to go with 5.0 RPG in just under 11 MPG. That is impressive when you think about it and leads me to believe he could be a Daniel Gafford type of player with increased or consistent minutes going forward.
Whether you are on board with this signing or not, the Bulls know the holes they need to fill, and Johnson does fill one of those holes. Now Chicago has just one or two more decisions to make heading into camp and then can focus on this highly anticipated season.
Lost in the shuffle of the Johnson pairing, the Bulls added another player over the weekend who also spent time with the Toronto Raptors organization. That player is sharpshooting guard Matt Thomas who has yet to confirm the length of his contract, but will be in Chicago this season. A bit older than the other two pickups, Thomas is 27 years old, but is still far from reaching his potential.
The former Iowa St. Guard and Onalaska (WI) SF was a top 100 prospect in the country when he came out of high school and was one of the better overall players in high school. He helped lead his Hilltoppers to several conference titles while averaging nearly 25 PPG, 8 RPG, and 6 APG, all while shooting almost 50% from three in high school.
Once he got to college, the three-point shooting continued to be his strength, although his scoring numbers would go way down. Thomas averaged 5.5 PPG as a freshman, but played in all 36 games that season. The rest of his tenure was less than appealing, seeing a diminished role as a sophomore before becoming a starter his junior season. His numbers never reached the level the Cyclones expected, but he still can shoot lights out from deep.
After going undrafted in 2017, Thomas took his career overseas to begin his NBA career and earned a reputation as a great catch and shoot player. In fact, he earned the nickname Mr. 99% in 2019 as he connected on 99% of his catch and shoot attempts. That is better numbers than the likes of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, so put that into perspective for a moment.
Following the shooting clinic Thomas put up overseas, he was finally able to latch on with an NBA team spending time with Toronto and Utah over the last three years. Not much of a scorer right now, Thomas has seen action in 89 games as a pro, compiling about nine minutes per contest. Despite averaging just 4.0 PPG with a career-high 4.9 PPG in 2019, Thomas has knocked down nearly 42% of his NBA three-point shots.
That is what the Bulls are signing him for, as he will most likely replace the role occupied by Ryan Arcidiacono. Thomas will never be an elite scorer in this league, but his three-point shot-making ability makes him a deadly asset off the bench. The best way to describe him is a poor man's version of Kyle Korver.

Alien Scientist: Alien Taxonomy
Author: Stephen Marshall, Issue: June 2003, Topic: Alien Scientist, Science
Understanding the diversity of life has always been of interest to scientists. Finding order in this diversity can help make sense of the world. Biological classification involves ordering life-forms by identifying different traits in species, and grouping together those species with common traits. But there is a huge range of traits which distinguish one species from another - some more meaningful than others. Taxonomists of all species must decide which is the best for their own particular circumstances. We could classify all animals by numbers of legs. This would put crocodiles together with cats, octopuses with spiders, and humans with ostriches. (This depends on recognising what is a leg in the first place - as distinct from an arm or wing or tentacle).
Or, we could try classifying according to presence or absence of fur or feathers - but this could end up putting humans in with the octopuses.
Another way would be to divide all animals into carnivores and herbivores. But this would split humanity into at least two camps - depending how many sub-species of vegetarian and vegan we cared to recognise. This may not be the most useful primary division of life on Earth, except perhaps at mealtimes.
It seems that it is not enough to simply recognise similarities and differences, but somehow to organise these in some sort of hierarchy, so that the most important distinctions form the main structure for classification. For example, whether one eats plants or animals would come somewhat down the pecking order compared with whether one is a plant or an animal.
Fortunately, we do have a systematic way of organising all life on the planet. This is based on how different species are related to each other in an evolutionary sense: the genealogy of all living things. This puts the crocodile in with the ostrich, and the human with the cat.
So, any living species, however bizarre, can be categorised precisely because all are related in a systematic way, through common ancestry. This taxonomy excludes mythical creatures such as chimeras and griffons, but ensures that catfish, horseflies, elephant seals and rhinoceros beetles are all correctly placed in the grand scheme of things. Taxonomy according to evolutionary ancestry has become a standard means of classifying all forms of life on Earth. However, this does not mean it would be a universally useful method.
Elsewhere in the universe, life-forms may not all be conveniently related, as they are on Earth. Indeed, if the life on Earth is peculiar to this planet, then any extraterrestrial life-forms must be unrelated and in a separate category, for a start.
In alien worlds, there may not be a single 'tree of life' in which everything living is related to each other. Perhaps on some alien world the raw ingredients of life may be promiscuously configured in many possible arrangements, giving rise to multiple 'births' and 'extinctions' of different kinds of life. Perhaps a multitude of species of 'trees of life' coexist in an exotic forest of unrelated lineages.
When we put together all possible kinds of worlds, each with their separate biologies, then classification strictly by lineage would generate a fragmented archipelago of unrelated systems: a taxonomical muddle of biological loose ends. We would not be able to relate some real extraterrestrial to our Earthly biology with any more credibility than a mythological terrestrial one. All life-systems would effectively be separate, and each might end up having to be classified by astronomy - with all Earth dwellers lumped together as a single planetary family.
In the circumstances, an alien taxonomist may feel that counting legs is, after all, as good a way as any of usefully distinguishing similar 'species' across the light years.
And so, while taxonomy by genealogy may be clear and purposeful for Earthly biology, it is not the only one 'true' way of doing it. The scientist will use different systems of classification for different purposes, whether this means using genealogy or astronomy - or, for that matter, gastronomy.
The cod and squid may be less closely related to each other than the cod and human. But when it comes to mealtime, the hard-pressed alien scientist going to the supermarket on the way home from the lab will be pleased to find all 'seafood' conveniently located in the same corner of the store, just as 'vegetables' like chilli peppers (fruits) are not far from the mushrooms (fungi), and all species of tempura are placed together in the snack section. There is more to taxonomy than arranging chickens next to eggs.

Tourism Leads to Way More Emissions Than Previously Thought
And the industry's share of global emissions is only expected to grow.

Here's something to keep in mind as you plan your vacation this summer: A new study, out today in Nature Climate Change, finds that global emissions from tourism are over three times higher than previously thought.
Global tourism is a $1.2 trillion industry, and it's growing every year. Previous estimates of the tourism industry's carbon footprint put it at between 2.5 and 3 percent of total global carbon dioxide emissions.
But those estimates didn't take into account emissions all along the supply chain of goods and services related to the industry. Tourists don't just expend fossil fuels driving or flying to their destinations—hotels, food, beverages, and other retail items all come with carbon emissions of their own. "There was an evident gap in that no one had done a comprehensive assessment of the carbon footprint of tourism," says Arunima Malik, a lecturer at the University of Sydney and lead author on the new study.
To fill the gap, Malik and her colleagues had to evaluate carbon emissions for a billion supply chains for tourism-related goods and services in countries around the world. They also took into account other greenhouse gas emissions—including methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons, among others—to create a more comprehensive estimate of total tourism emissions. Malik says the assessment took a year and a half to complete.
"It was eye-opening to see that the carbon footprint represents 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions," she says.
The team analyzed emissions from two perspectives: residence-based, in which emissions are attributed to tourists' home countries, and destination-based, which attributes emissions to the destination countries. These categories provide researchers and policymakers with distinct but equally important insights into tourism patterns: A residence-based perspective reflects how much each country's travelers are to blame for emissions, and a destination-based perspective allows tourism hotspots to better understand and act on their carbon footprint.
The United States topped the list for both—with U.S. travelers responsible for 1,060 metric tons of emissions, and 909 metric tons of emissions at U.S. destinations—followed by China (528 metric tons to travelers, 561 to Chinese destinations) and then Germany (305 metric tons to German travelers, 329 to destinations).
"Travelling is largely a high-income affair," the authors wrote, with tourism-related emissions "flow[ing] mainly between high-income countries acting both as traveller residence and destinations."
Meanwhile, some small islands had some of the highest destination-based carbon footprints: In the Maldives, Cyprus, the Seychelles, and Mauritius, between 30 and 80 percent of national emissions were related to tourism. The findings call into question the wisdom of pursuing large-scale tourism development as a more sustainable means of economic growth.
Tourism's share of global emissions is only expected to grow, as affluence increases around the world and other industries move to decarbonize to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. (Both the aviation and shipping industries, whose emissions are hard to attribute to any one country, were left out of the international accord.) And efforts so far to rein in tourism emissions by encouraging travelers to fly less and operators to innovate more to save energy have so far had little effect on industry emissions.
Either way, however, the booming industry could be headed for a bust, given that some of the most popular destinations are also the most vulnerable to climate change. Earlier this year, for example, officials in Thailand and the Philippines announced that some of tourists' favorite beaches would close down temporarily to give the ecosystems a chance to recover from climate change and pollution.

could we see a new Nexus tablet and new Android?
The Nexus 8 is set to be Google's next new Android tablet. It will follow on from the Nexus7, which is still one of the best tablets around,and could be here within the next few months.
The Nexus 8 release date is somewhat up inthe air, with initial rumours citing an unnamedDublin-based Google employee and suggestingthe Nexus 8 would be announced in July, not atGoogle's forthcoming I/O developer conference.
The original Nexus 7 and the 2013 revision both launched in July, so this would follow tradition.
However, rumours that the Nexus 8 will be unveiled at Google I/O, which kicks off on 25 June, still abound.
According to the Wall Street Journal, thetablet, which is part of 'Project Tango', "could bereleased ahead of the company's annual developer conference, scheduled for the end of June".
We think Google I/O is the most likely time for the device to be introduced, and this is fuelled furtherby the inclusion of an unknown tablet shown on thewebsite for the event (pictured on previous page).
increase, although Google will still be keen to undercut its rivals. Google doesn't look to make a profit on its hardware, rather the software and content available through Google Play.However, pricing will also be largely dependent on the materials used to make the Nexus 8, and whether it is metal or plastic for example is still unknown.
instead moving things up to 8in. This change would mean the Nexus 8 will more closely rival devices such as the iPad mini, LG G Pad 8.3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. The big question is who willmake the Nexus 8?
Digitimes originally reported that Google willpartner with Asus for the Nexus 8, having built both versions of the Nexus 7. However, it now claims Google has changed its mind and plumped forHTC, which is a strange move, given its limited experience with tablets.
Meanwhile, Google has also been tipped to be partnering with LG on a Nexus tablet, although this could well be the next version of the Nexus 10.
The Wall Street Journal claims the Nexus 8 will be equipped with two back cameras, infrared depth sensors and advanced software that can capture precise three-dimensional images of objects.
Android Pit reports that the Nexus 8 will follow Apple's lead and feature a 64-bit processor. It's rumoured that Google will ditch Qualcomm and its reliable Snapdragon chips for Intel's Moorefield,which is clocked at 2.33GHz and features a PowerVR G6430 GPU.
we could see a new version of KitKat, or a version of Android that uses the next letter in the alphabet —L, and expected to be 'Lollipop'.

How did Pete Alonso's cousin feel about being part of the MLB All-Star Game Home Run Derby
Last night was special. ❄🐻 pic.twitter.com/c6lCu1jGuk
— New York Mets (@Mets) July 9, 2019
My wife had the HR Derby on last night rooting for Pete Alonso and was yelling that Pete's cousin sucks as a BP Pitcher. From the few pitches I saw, cuzzo might not have been the best choice but it worked out. I went into the living room to catch his last 5 or so HRs. Nice job out of Pete. That medallion from Daddy Yankee was crazy looking. Kind of reminded me the old WWE Spinner Belt.
From the NY Post.
For serving up the 57 gopher balls that Alonso hit into the stratosphere, Derek Morgan got a supporting role in a fantasy. And that, he insisted, easily sufficed.
"Honestly, just to be here, that's all that matters to me," Morgan, Alonso's second cousin, said in a news conference as he sat next to the champion. "Everybody is talking about him dreaming, and I'm still dreaming. I'm catching myself sitting here just flashing back to just the memories I had 20 minutes ago. It's just surreal. And all that matters is that he asked me. I'm just blessed and honored that he asked me."
"The first round, we got the jitters out," Morgan said. "I think we figured it out after the first timeout in that first round. But [we] just stayed positive and [kept] grinding and surviving."
"After we finally got in that rhythm, it was money," Alonso said. "It was money."


The winter months are an excellent time to surf; you get more time, more waves, more space, and there's a glow to your skin that stays with you the whole day. It's closer to the frontier feeling you get from hiking mountains or cross-country skiing; it's a very special feeling that really only a minority of people will experience.

I cannot praise Ron Hollingshead enough, as his work is stellar. Ron has performed a variety of jobs in addition to door work for me in the approximately 15 years we have been associated together, all to my complete satisfaction. My house had quite a few door issues due to the ground shifting, and not only did Ron successfully deal with them, the procedures he used ensured that the doors could accommodate future issues with the house movement.
Door Doctor offers the services of a specialist, at the rates of a handyman. Ron is punctual, excels at communication, and his professionalism is beyond reproach.
Ron is also insured AND bonded, which many tradesmen are not. I am pleased to recommend Ron, and feel confident that his other customers will share in my satisfaction.
My experience of working with Ron Hollingshead, The Door Doctor, is extremely positive. Ron brings a strong work ethic to his expertise that I admire. He is one of the few people I have hired who does a better job than I would if I had his skills. His sensitivity to the needs of the client is a rare trait in the trades. I highly recommend him for any of your door needs, be it security, air and water infiltration, or installation.
The Door Doctor has worked on several doors at my home and office. We happen to have some clients in common and I've seen his work there as well. The work is always top-notch and 'stays fixed'. He does a great job of keeping everything tidy and cleaning up behind himself. A true professional, he knows what he is doing and when he works on a door there is nothing left to chance.
I have hired Ron on multiple occasions over the last several years and I couldn't be happier. He's very honest, conscientious and knowledgeable about his work. If there's a way to help save you money without compromising quality, he'll find it. A true professional!
I've used The Door Doctor several times over the past years and Ron is great! He pays close attention to the details and has always been able to get my doors working right. He's also punctual, which really helps when trying to schedule someone to come and make repairs. Thanks Ron!
My home has foundation issues, and I have used the Door Doctor to adjust the exterior doors. I have always received prompt, professional and thorough service. I highly recommend!
Ron is efficient in every way: from returning phone calls, to estimated time of arrival, to the work being done. I truly think he loves the work he does, because it shows in the results! I am always pleased when Ron finishes a job for me, no matter how challenging it might have been!
I have hired Door Doctor at three different homes in Fayetteville over the last 15 years. Ron is the most professional and thorough door specialist I have ever met. I would highly recommend Door Doctor to anyone looking to make old doors work like new again, to fix any door related issues, or to talk higher security for your home or business.


The fourty-sixth installment of a new series on the blog that we will be posting throughout the month of December. As some of you are aware, Music for All will be taking an Honor Band to the 2017 Rose Parade. Our members were selected by audition for the ensemble and come from all across the United States. We are looking forward to coming together for the first time as a band at the end of December and we hope this series will allow us all to get to know some (hopefully most!) of the members of this awesome ensemble!
My older brother was on the drumline as a snare player in the 2013 BOA Honor Band. I saw the dancers and was excited to audition for the Honor Band this year. I knew my brother had a lot of fun and learned a lot, so I wanted that experience too, but as a dancer.
I'm most excited about marching in Disneyland. I marched in Disney World once before with my high school band and it was incredibly fun. I think that it's really cool that I will have marched at Disney World and Disneyland. I am also really excited to meet so many people from different states.
1. Practice is more important than the performances and competitions, because that is what prepares you. If you don't practice well, then you will not perform well.
2. No matter how good you are, you should always strive to be better. No one can ever be perfect, so you always need to work hard.
3. Friendships builds a great band, just as much as practicing. If band members argue with each other all the time, then they will not perform well. Everyone needs to get along and support each other in order to be successful.
My most memorable moment was when my guard instructor was presenting awards and I was given the award for Best Performance. He said people were always asking him about me and telling him that I was great at performing. It really made me feel like my hard work had paid off.
Besides Color Guard, I am on the Prom Committee and I am the secretary of National Honor Society. I take seven dance classes a week at Wilkerson Dance Studio including tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, hip hop, contemporary, and modern.
My favorite book is The Book Thief. Not only is it an entertaining book, but it's also full of information. It is one of the only books I've read that has kept me on the edge of my seat, while learning.
Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite song because of how many different styles of music are in one piece. The first time I heard it I thought it was the strangest song ever, but now I love it.
I want to go to Purdue University for a major in Law and Society and a minor in Dance. I would love to become a detective or a forensics scientist. Also, I plan on teaching dance classes, or teaching color guard.
I have been in one BOA Regional competition at Ball State University.
I raise Boer goats, and show them at the county and state fair. This past year I was the Reserve Champion in Senior Showmanship, and got to compete with all the other top showmen at the county fair in a competition called the Round Robin. That is when you show a boer goat, sheep, beef cow, dairy cow, and pig against everyone else. It was a great experience.

Q: ssh-keygen without ssh access I've got a Lacie Network Space 2 where they have disabled the SSH access and I'd like to write a script where I transfer files from my computer to the NS2 using scp.
The only problem I have is that I can't (from what I know) generate a public key without first connecting via SSH.
So my question is: Is it possible to generate a key without having access to SSH, for use with scp? Or some other clever way to transfer files to my NS2 (FW 2.2.4) using a script.
I might add that I'm currently mounting the disk and using cp, but I'd like something better.
Thanks in advance!

A: What exactly do you want? If you want to scp to the NS2, you'll have to generate the keys on the source machines and append it to authorized_keys on the target. Since you can already mount & use cp, you should be able to do that.
Note that since scp works over ssh, if they've disabled ssh this won't work. OTOH, if they've only disabled password based ssh, or set /bin/false as your shell, this might work.

A: I have concluded that if you want to gain access to ssh keys on your NS2 with a newer FW you have to remove the disk from its casing and connect it to a computer, as they explain in this link
Enabling SSH on NS2
I thank you both for your answers, but I guess I'll have to do it the hard way.

I've been doing a lot of Wix lately. Actually for the past six years or so: I was a believer since my last couple of years at The Evil Empire. Wix is easy, but custom actions aren't so much. Unit testing custom actions is the topic of this post.
My team at my real job has been rebuilding deployment and installation for a rather large application and had to write three large installers and many custom actions that don't exist in the wix toolset. We started a long time ago, all the work is in C++. And since many prior fiascos have left me a believer in agile practices, I wanted to figure out how to unit test these many custom actions.
A coworker wrote a shim that implemented some MSI functions. With clever conditional compilation we built unit tests for all simple CAs. But once we started writing more complex deferred custom actions coffee conversations at Casa Cupcake turned into providing a SQL engine in the shim vs. parsing SQL. It smelled too complex, cumbersome and sounded like a lot of work, which would have taken away from coffee time!
After some research I found a much better model: creating a hosting a real MSI, which I will demonstrate in this post.
Manufacturing an empty MSI is easy if you read MSDN documentation.
PID_REVNUMBER: For an installation package, the Revision Number Summary property contains the package code for the installer package.
PID_WORDCOUNT: In the summary information of an installation package, the Word Count Summary property indicates the type of source file image.
PID_PAGECOUNT: The Page Count Summary property contains the minimum installer version required by the installation package.
You have to get the summary information for the number of summary info items that you're going to set, set the properties, persist them to disk and commit the MSI to disk.
You'll be able to open the MSI with Orca now.
You can open an MSI package now and use it as if it were part on an installation. If you have just created it, MsiOpenPackage takes a handle in the format of #id. Otherwise you can just specify the full file path to the MSI package.
There're two ways of calling the custom. You can import the CustomAction table that contains the name and reference to your CA, subject of another future post. This works for all types of custom actions, but it can get a little involved since you have to import several tables: CustomAction and Binary. For simpler C++ custom actions, simply fetch the CA's entry point and pass the MSI handle obtained from MsiOpenPackage.
You can now integrate this method with CppUnit or any other unit-testing framework. Just call regular MSI functions. We've managed almost 100% code-coverage today for two dozen CAs. We still don't know how to properly invoke deferred custom actions, but it doesn't prevent unit-testing.
I wrote a complete demo: a custom action and a small test that calls it, which you can find on Github.
Unit Testing MSI Custom Actions was published on August 18, 2008 . See a typo?

NHL coach Bill Peters steps down after being accused by former player of using racial slur
Posted 9:00 PM, November 29, 2019, by CNN Wire
National Hockey League coach Bill Peters stepped down Friday, days after apologizing for using a racial slur against a former player a decade ago.
Peters coached the Calgary Flames in Alberta. The team was investigating him after former player Akim Aliu posted a message on social media saying Peters once directed offensive language toward him.
"This morning I received a letter of resignation from Bill Peters, which I accepted effective immediately," team general manager Brad Treliving told reporters Friday. "Bill Peters is no longer a member of the Calgary Flames organization."
In a letter addressed to Treliving on Wednesday, Peters said he was sorry.
Canadian sports broadcaster Don Cherry steps down after on-air remarks about immigrants
"Although it was an isolated and immediately regrettable incident, I take responsibility for what I said. The statement was made in a moment of frustration and does not reflect my personal values," he wrote.
"I meant no disrespect in what I said, and it was not directed at anyone in particular. But, that doesn't matter; it was hurtful and demeaning. I am truly sorry."
The letter was initially posted by TSN on Twitter.
In response to the letter, Aliu called what Peters wrote "misleading, insincere and concerning," according to a statement Thursday that was first reported by TSN.
Aliu has accepted an invitation from the NHL to meet and discuss the situation, he said in his statement, which later was posted to his Twitter account.
Aliu, who was born in Nigeria and raised in Canada, said the incident happened when he was with the Rockford IceHogs, an affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons.
Peters "dropped the N-bomb several times towards me in the dressing room in my rookie year because he didn't like my choice of music," he said.
Peters was the team's head coach at the time. Aliu was traded in June 2010 to the Atlanta Thrashers and is currently a free agent.
Aliu spoke to TSN on Tuesday, telling the network: "What am I going to say? I was 20 years old and a first-year pro. I was too scared to speak up. I beat myself up every day over it."
He said two teammates from Rockford were in the room at the time of the alleged incident. Both independently corroborated Aliu's accusation, according to the report.
Peters' statement confirmed one incident in a dressing room.
"After the incident, I was rightfully challenged about my use of language, and I immediately returned to the dressing room to apologize to the team. I have regretted the incident since it happened, and I now also apologize to anyone negatively affected by my words," he said.
CNN as tried to reach Peters for comment.
Peters joined the Flames as head coach last year after having the same role with the Carolina Hurricanes.
He was not behind the bench Wednesday night when the Flames defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on the road in overtime.
The NHL has said Peters' action are "repugnant and unacceptable," but declined to comment further until it's had a chance to look into the allegation.

Four restaurants discuss their most popular items and what makes them hot spots for Valentines.
It's no secret that Longboat Key and St. Armands Circle are home to some flavorful restaurants.
So in honor of Valentine's Day, the Longboat Observer talked with local restaurateurs about their special menus and most popular dishes that pop up over the holidays.
While most of these establishments are running low or are completely out of reservations for Valentine's Day, some of these dishes are offered all the time or on other special occasions.
Regardless, the menus should offer some inspiration next time date night rolls around and a drive to downtown Sarasota seems daunting.
Lazy Lobster Chef Cristofer Reed recommends the crab cakes, swordfish Delaney and the creole shrimp and grits off the regular menu.
This year, on Valentine's Day, the restaurant will serve three specials — Filet "Oscar," Baked Stuffed Shrimp and Ginger Teriyaki Pork Chop.
Filet "Oscar" starts with a char-grilled 7-ounce filet that is topped with 4 ounces of lump crab meat poached with butter. On top, a béarnaise sauce, which is a hollandaise sauce mixed with a red wine tarragon reduction, finishes off the dish. On the side are roasted garlic mashed potatoes and oven-roasted asparagus topped with garlic and shallots.
The Lazy Lobster will serve Filet "Oscar," a char-grilled seven-ounce filet that is topped with four ounces of lump crab meat poached with butter as a Valentine's Day special.
The second special is baked stuffed shrimp, which will include nine Gulf jumbo, butterflied shrimp filled with the house crab cake recipe. The shrimp are baked and come served with Creole rice and the customer's choice of vegetable, all with a lemon-garlic cream sauce.
Third, is the ginger Teriyaki pork chop. Eight- to 10-ounce cuts sit in the ginger and Teriyaki marinade overnight then are char-grilled and served with a choice of vegetable and roasted-garlic mashed potatoes. Chef Christofer Reed saves some of the marinade to use as a glaze.
From the menu, Reed recommends the crab cakes, swordfish Delaney, which is pan-seared with garlic and bleu cheese, and the Creole shrimp and grits.
Restaurant co-proprietor Michael Garey recommends making reservations at least three weeks in advance for holidays.
For those daring enough to leave the island, Tommy Bahama Restaurant is also offering a special Valentine's Day menu that includes Surf & Turf with a 14-ounce New York strip steak, garlic shrimp, potatoes au gratin and asparagus with a béarnaise sauce.
A charcuterie board will be available for an appetizer and for dessert there will be a triple chocolate cake and a peanut butter pie.
Each table will receive an amuse bouche from the chef, which is a lavender sea salt and rose petal-crusted goat cheese appetizer.
Off the special menu, and available any time, Julie Cortez recommends the parmesan-crusted Sanibel chicken with the malted chocolate pie for dessert.
The chicken is stuffed with an herb blend and topped with a red pepper cream sauce. On the side are cauliflower-potato mash and broccolini.
The malted chocolate pie is made of house chocolate ganache, encrusted with Oreo crumbs and then topped with chocolate mousse and Heath bar crunch.
Cortez recommends trying the restaurant's signature mai tai. Complete with Flor de Caña 4 Year, orgeat, orange curacao, lemon, lime and pineapple and a dark rum float, the drink is offered frozen or on the rocks.
Cortez said the restaurants offers plenty of seating variety so couples can have privacy or be more in the middle of the action.
"I honestly think you can't beat the location, but I think because we're a completely scratch kitchen ... I think we take it up a notch," she said.
Valentine's Day is one of the two busiest nights at Euphemia Haye along with New Year's Eve, Chef Ray Arpke said.
"Valentine's Day is the official kickoff to season here," he said.
Euphemia Haye Chef Ray Arpke said Valentin's Day is one of the two most popular nights at the restaurant. The other is New Year's Eve.
The special for the night is a roasted rack of veal topped with a wild mushroom sauce and roasted root vegetables and a truffle oil potato on the side.
But aside from that, Arpke said popular items that are often ordered on special occasions are filets and the pepper steak dish.
The pepper steak is a la carte, but the filet comes with a potato pancake and roasted shallots and grilled mushrooms. Along with the pepper steak, the roasted duckling is one of the restaurant's signature dishes that Arpke anticipates to be popular year round.
Arpke recommends those dining pair their dishes with a bottle of wine, especially those dining there on Valentine's Day as there is a $125 minimum per person.
Right now, the most popular wines are a red blend from The Prisoner Wine Co. in California and a white Burgundy wine. Arpke said Champagne is also a popular pick.
"Champagne is more popular on Valentine's Day than it is on New Year's Eve," he said.
The dessert menu includes the fan-favorite triple berry glaze pie, and in addition, Arpke will stick with a red theme and serve red velvet cake. If time allows, Arpke has his sights on making a cream puff swan cake with a raspberry mousse center.
Arpke recommends making reservations at least a week in advance for holidays and weekends and about four to five days in advance for week days.
Viento Executive Chef Jeremy White said he wants Viento to become a regular spot for Sarasota, Longboat Key and Bradenton residents.
For this Valentine's Day, Viento is featuring a special menu in addition its regular choices.
On the special menu are three starters, four entrees and two desserts.
The starters include lobster bisque, a crab wedge salad and beet ravioli salad. Executive Chef Jeremy White said for the ravioli, the beets themselves will be turned into the raviolis.
The main dishes are veal piccata, which will come with a pan-seared veal chop, herb-ed angel hair pasta, grilled asparagus and a caper lemon butter sauce. A 12-ounce wagyu strip steak with edamame, roasted carrots and a baked potato is the second option.
Third is a lobster and crab duo for two that comes with two lobster tails, two crab legs that White estimates are about a pound a half each, parsley buttered potatoes and broccolini.
Scallops is the other main dish, and that will come with diver scallops, baby mushrooms, smoked bacon lardons, asparagus and a butter-braised leek cream sauce.
On the regular menu, White expects the espresso-rubbed ribeye, which comes with roasted fingerling potatoes, grilled asparagus and cocoa demi, to be a popular item.
Viento Kitchen and Bar will serve a veal piccata dish as a Valentine's Day special.
White recommends reservations for any occasion be made a few days in advance. While the restaurant is within Zota Beach Resort, Viento is open to the public.


"To know the spirit of a place is to realize that you are a part of a part and that the whole is made of parts, each of which is a whole. You start with the part you are whole in." - Gary Snyder The system of illustration I've devised for photographing edible plants has two parts. Part one: the plants are photographed in front of a modular black backdrop. This allows the viewer to easily identify the plant and recognize the type of environment where it is commonly found. Part two: the plant is excavated, photographed, then illustrated digitally in such a way as to render the edible parts in color while the remaining parts, less emphatically, remain in grayscale. It is my hope and ambition that this art offers people concrete information that if activated leads to positive transformation. While this type of art may appear atavistic its redeployment, in the precise moment of history, is vitally relevant to issues of sustainability. By ingesting or simply recognizing these plants that grow abundantly all around us anyone can directly experience the wonder of our symbiotic evolution with the natural environment, gain a sense of place based upon bioregionalism, activate possibilities for creative economies, and gain a vested awareness of local environmental issues. These edible plants grow all around us, in yards, alleys, ditches, and empty lots. Each testifies to our symbiotic evolution with all of life, and I hope, function as both metaphor and proof of our intimate tether to the natural world. I envision this as a thoroughly inclusive catalogue that will result in hundreds of photographs. The aesthetic consciously combines empirical and romantic traditions, but takes advantage of digital imaging's capacity to create rhetorical shifts in the photograph as information system – that is the images are engaging, semiotically layered, historically aware and readily adaptable to a wide variety of displays and modes of communication.

Alonzo's art choices and worldviews are inspired by travel. Through travel he seeks influences, cultural centers, energies, new terrain and the power of both the spoken and unspoken. The magic of the Southwest Untied States, Brazil, Haiti and West Africa has penetrated his work. Southern California, his home for thirty years, has also had an indelible impact and the colors and rhythms of the Pacific Rim continue to infiltrate. His current work involves ladder like forms that are metaphors for higher goals and life's climb. Some of Alonzo's installations and sculptures are on display at the Baltimore Zoo, the East Hawaii Cultural Center, Philadelphia International Airport, Nashville International Airport, and the US Embassy in Lome, Togo, West Africa.
"Elsewhere Studios has allowed me to work with out distraction and focus on things I have wanted to experiment with. An example would be the collaboration with Ed Eaton on a solar sculpture."
Kay Lindsey, born in DC and originally a painter, enjoys collaborations with artists in other disciplines, musicians, printmakers, photographers, book artists, a metalsmith and ceramist among them. Her most recently published works "The Zen of Vaulting" appears in the art book, The Bamboo Muse and "Night at Bear River," published in Hot Air Quarterly.
One time contributing writer to the art magazine Sculptural Pursuit, her work has also appeared inBeyond the Frontier, River Poems, Hawaii Review, Borders: Texas Poetry Review, Wolf Head Quarterly, Earth's Daughters and Catalyst. A native of Washington, DC, Kay is currently poet in residence at Montpelier Arts Center in Laurel, Maryland.
Mick Lorusso is an artist focused on energy in its many forms: as sustenance, movement, sensation, electricity and light. He integrates science, mysticism, ecology, and community into his work, which includes drawing, sculpture, and urban intervention. Mick graduated with an MFA in Sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute, and a BA in Studio Art at the Colorado College. Before coming to San Francisco, he lived and worked in Mexico City and Seattle, WA. He has shown his work throughout Mexico, including galleries and museums in Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, and Queretaro, and at venues in the US cities of Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, San Francisco, CA, and Durango,CO. He has participated in public art projects that range from mural painting, community mosaic work, and interactive works that function as ecological indicators and symbolic beacons.
As an artist-in-residence at Elsewhere Studios, Mick Lorusso developed an interactive project called Potential Energy: Carbon Conserves, which he brought to the Mountain Harvest Festival in late Semptember. The piece is a sculptural market stand containing jars of coal from local mines and canned fruits harvested from North Fork Valley farms. It was designed to stimulate dialog about energy sources and use in the area. As a record of such discussion and reflection on energy, festival goers contributed quotes on tags that adorned the "Carbon Conserves" jars.

It's been 18 years since Lindsay Lohan faked a British accent for The Parent Trap, but her language skills remain grooler than ever. On Tuesday (November 1), a Greek newspaper shared a video interview with the Mean Girls star outside her LOHAN nightclub in Athens. Her voice sounds, well, very different from her time as a Plastic.
As for her twang that's impossible to place, Lohan told the Daily Mail that she doesn't know where it came from — "Je ne sais pas" were her exact words, meaning "I do not know" in French — but she's always been quite the linguist.
"I've been learning different languages since I was a child," she explained. "I'm fluent in English and French can understand Russian and am learning Turkish, Italian, and Arabic." Her accent combines all those influences into a sound that merits its own name. Her pick? Lilohan.
"We should let the people decide [on a name]," she later said. Start tweeting her your suggestions now.

About Disability Bowls England
Disability Bowls England (DBE) is the co-ordinating body for bowlers of all ages and abilities with a physical, sensory or memory/learning difficulty.
It is a newly established Charity (August 2015) which was set up to fill the void for disabled bowlers in provision of disability specific bowls opportunities. In its second and third years, the priorities will be to engage with local clubs, building a regional infrastructure to provide regular and easily accessed participation opportunities.
The work of DBE differs from other national bowls bodies as it is the only organisation with the specific aim of delivering multi disability bowls events which includes introductory sessions and introductory competitions, individual coaching and competitive opportunities at local, national and international levels.
In 2014, through partnership work and discussion with mainstream and impairment specific bowls organisations it was agreed there was a need for a formal bowls structure/organisation to be developed to address the void in opportunities for disabled players.
Since 2015 the organisation has delivered nationwide activities to cater for different ability levels: introductory days; coaching sessions; regional and national competitions. Pilot work has been undertaken, introduction sessions have been run and the organisation is supporting a growing membership and introducing them to clubs. New initiatives during 2015/16 included regional training/taster sessions; first outdoor national pairs competition; three home country test matches, match against Bowls England Club of the Year, match against Bowls England President, first outdoor inter-regional challenges, squad selection and training weekends, friendly club matches. These new competitions complemented a busy programme of training, coaching and competition run at regional levels. Consultation with service users in Open Forums have provided insight into the developments and direction the organisation needs to consider and high on the priorities is providing opportunities for reduced travel and bringing more playing opportunities within accessible geographical reach, reducing travel time and costs is critical to regular involvement. New initiatives and maiden competitions are being introduced to support first time involvement in competition.
During 2017 the emphasis will be to form a local/regional network and strengthen local links with the appointment of volunteers to various roles. It is anticipated that targeted work will encourage newcomers from the region to join the organisation and clubs will be encouraged to make provisions for regular recreational disability specific group sessions to take place offering improved opportunities for participation. Each individual will be encouraged to set their own realistic goals and supported to achieve these targets (for some it may be weekly recreational participation, others may benefit from voluntary led coaching support, and there will be opportunities for progression through the sport to play in friendly matches, Inter-Regional competitions and selection to national and international levels).
The organisation encourages membership from novice and established players of all levels of ability and age. In its second year of membership, DBE has 207 registered members which comprises bowlers with a range of impairments each with their own individual challenges to overcome to allow their involvement in the sport. The promotion and demonstration of adapted bowling aids is allowing individuals with a range of complex physical and sensory challenges to engage and re-engage in bowling activities. Practical demonstrations of specialist equipment and enlisting the services of facilitators has aided novice and established bowlers' participation and offered solutions to a range of participation challenges: (signage and directors – visually and hearing impaired bowlers; utilising bowling aids: specially designed bowls wheelchairs; bowling arms to propel woods).
The organisation will work with communities (bowls clubs and volunteers), and particularly those who have supported the running of events and activities in the first eighteen months to encourage their ongoing and future engagement.
Local volunteers will be recruited to fulfil many roles. Volunteering roles include regional co-ordinators, coaches, umpires and officials, classifiers, support staff, wood gatherers, directors for visually impaired bowlers, signage for hearing impaired bowlers, wheelchair pushers and administrators.
DBE is using several strands of marketing to raise the profile of the organisation.
The website www.disabilitybowlsengland.org.uk publicises all activities (taster days, competitions, training days) and provides information on technical matters (eg specialist equipment and classification).
Partnership work:
DBE works collaboratively with mainstream bowls organisations and clubs, local authorities and other like-minded disability sport and health organisations.

Royal Recognition for ATG
by Debbie Rymer | Jun 18, 2020 | News, Uncategorised
ATG Group is delighted to receive its first Queen's Award, which is thanks to the team's efforts in focusing on a company-wide approach to Sustainable Development. Established in 2007 by Dr Mark McKinney, ATG Group provides tailored solutions to complex environmental and waste management challenges within the construction and insurance sectors. Its core services include:
Remediation technologies supporting the redevelopment of contaminated sites
Treatment and eradication of invasive plant species
Site waste management plans
24-hour emergency spill response
The company focuses on one distinct aspect for each project it undertakes: how to reduce or eliminate the disposal of waste to landfill. To help achieve this aim, ATG Group has invested heavily in R&D, designing not one but two technologies to combat landfill usage.
LockedIn® is a soil stabilisation technology that can lock contamination into soils, preventing it from being a pollution risk permanently. Eraginate® is a treatment technology which successfully eradicates the invasive Japanese Knotweed plant while significantly reducing the amount of material sent to landfill. Both of these technologies greatly reduce, or in some cases completely eliminate, the need for contaminated material to be sent to landfill. In larger projects, this has amounted to tens of thousands of tonnes.
Outside of these technologies, the company places an important focus on sustainability throughout its business. Initiatives in this area include a focus on renewable energy, with solar panels being installed at both ATG Group's headquarters and warehousing sites. Car-sharing and the use of sustainable transportation are also encouraged where possible. Moreover, all staff members make an annual commitment to follow sustainable procedures, such as implementing a carbon management plan, reducing waste generated from offices and sites, and sourcing sustainable office supplies and promotional materials.
Along with its commitment to developing a sustainable business, ATG Group fosters community sustainability, founding its own social enterprise, Ashes to Gold, in 2013. With a vision to "rebuild, restore and transform lives", the company provides purposeful activities to individuals with special needs or mental health issues, the long-term unemployed and those undertaking community service. Today, the charity has four distinct areas: a wood workshop, grow project, bakery and mental health charity. More than 600 people received help from this project in 2019.

I Like How Survivor Ended!
I think this was one of the most interesting seasons of Survivor ever. The personalities were fun to watch, from Colton who was a lightening rod with his selfish, manipulative and seemingly racist (says he's not?) comments, to Kat, who was crushed when she was voted out by people she trusted and the way she handled it. Did you see that? She, at the young age of 22, told the folks on the jury that life is too short to stay angry, that we need to forgive and get on with life.
Initially, I thought Colton would be back on a new season as his mean ol' self. After seeing his mother's reaction to his behavior at the Reunion, I'm not so sure. If he comes back he may try to tone himself down a little. He had absolutely no consideration for anyone's feelings but his own. I was torn between being fascinated by such callous behavior and wanting him to be gone, or shut up, because he was hurting people.
I'm glad the women got it together enough to get it down to three women at the end, although I'm not as sure as I was when Tarzan was still there that he would have been able to get enough votes to win if they kept him til the end.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a group of people on Survivor, who for the most part, had affection for each other despite their idiosyncrasies. It's got to be hard to be in difficult circumstances with people who you don't know, you are competing against, but yet, you need them and they need you. For them to see past things like Tarzan's crotchety self, to his good side just rarely seems to happen on this show. It also doesn't happen often that so many of the contestants realize that it's a game and they are supposed to play it like poker. Finally, someone used that analogy that this is like a poker game. I've been thinking that for years and wondering why they get so mad when they are outplayed? That's what is supposed to happen.
It was refreshing to see contestants have good things to say to and about each other at the end. I especially like how Tarzan (Greg Smith) and his wife Terri's relationship was inspiring to Chelsea. She said she didn't know love like theirs could exist, and I'm sure other folks felt the same way.
I also liked how it came down to the last three women who had an alliance from the beginning. I like that Kim stayed true to Sabrina and Chelsea, even though she felt like she was risking losing the game, and with that the money.
The next game will be in the Philippines. The only thing is, we have to wait until September!
I've been watching the women on Survivor play a really good game by using their brains. It's been pretty refreshing and I've had my favorites among them. I'd like to see Sabrina, Kim and Chelsea in the final three.
The only time I had another favorite player was when they were ganged up on Troyzan. He was such a fighter that I began to pull for him, but they took him out, so I'm back to my original three favorites.
I think though that these smart women are over looking something. It looks like they are all distrusting each other so much that they have missed this one man who they have left alone. Tarzan is just coasting along, quietly staying in the game while they look at each other and squabble about which woman ought to be voted out next. If they don't get rid of him pretty quick, you know what's going to happen. He will be the one man who all the men that they voted out will vote for. The women who are shocked and angry (wow, Kat certainly was rattled last week!) will likely also vote for him.
Details, Ladies. It's all about the details. Let's hope they wake up and get that done tonight.
May is Celiac Awareness Month. Some of us are aware of Celiac every single day whether we have Celiac Disease, or are sensitive to gluten, which in either case a person is intolerant. Symptoms and the remedy are pretty much the same for both as symptoms are widely variable, and the remedy is to avoid all gluten always.
One study has shown that in Celiac Disease, the body sees gluten as an invader and it attacks the gluten. In gluten sensitivity, the body sees gluten as an invader and puts up a defense. This is partly why things get complicated when testing for gluten intolerance.
When the blood is tested for Celiac, they are looking for antibodies – antigliadin (IgA), transglutaminase (ATTA) and anti-endomysial antibody (EMA). If the first two are present, it shows that there is a problem with gluten, but only if all of the villi in the small intestine are completely flattened will all three be present. According to Dr. Lieberman, "more than 30 gliadin peptides (molecules) are not evaluated by this test." Everyone pretty much seems to agree that blood tests can be inconclusive. Advanced Celiac will be evident in a biopsy of the small intestine, but it can be missed if it's not advanced to the point of completely flattened villi. Also, gluten sensitivity will not flatten the villi. I've read that Canada approved a pin-prick blood test for home use, but I don't think it's available in the US yet. Not sure about other countries. The stool test seems to be controversial, just going by what I've read on web sites, with some people saying it's not reliable and others saying it was a life-saver for them.
Since blood tests are sometimes inconclusive a person will say "they said I don't have Celiac, but I have problems when I eat gluten." The other reason that testing is complicated is that a person can be sensitive to gluten and not have Celiac. Again, the remedy is to avoid all gluten in either case. If I had a test done and it showed negative or inconclusive results, but I noticed that I feel better off gluten, then I think I'd just blow off the test and avoid gluten. Do you think it makes sense to continue eating something that is causing symptoms ranging from pain to depression to thyroid problems to intestinal upsets of various kinds and on and on, just because the test said something different from what a person's body says? I think I'd listen to my body over a test result. They are still learning about gluten intolerance. One thing they do know is that gluten in any amount can affect the body for months, so if a person is sensitive it may take time to feel better when coming off of it.
Something else I've noticed while reading different sites is that sometimes the term "allergy" is used when this is not the same thing. An allergy, such as wheat allergy, causes a release of histamines. Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity are not allergies. They are both a type of food intolerance.
Here is another site that I just found today: http://www.celiaccentral.org/ This is a site run by The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness and it looks like one of the best ones I've run across. There is information on all aspects of gluten-related items from diagnosis to shopping to research and more. They even have cooking videos.
There is a lot of information on various web sites, as well as in books and magazine articles. I've noticed some of it is conflicting. One reason is that gluten sensitivity hasn't been recognized for as long as Celiac Disease has been. We need to be sure to keep it straight about allergy and food intolerance when we are reading about gluten. Also, we must listen to our bodies. Serious damage can be done if we don't.

For decades, there hasn't been consistent and comprehensive tracking of officer-involved shootings in the US. But that's starting to change.
"To be right in the sweet spot of talked about culture...I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out why and it's hard to unpack that."
First, there was the fight for minimum wage. Now, there's another fight brewing in the workforce: predictable schedules for hourly workers.
The great outdoors doesn't seem at first blush like a hostile work environment, but for countless women working in the National Park Service, that's exactly what it is.


The USMC Raider is a smaller version of the Medford TBF (Too Big to Fail) Breakdown Fighter, which is an epic-sized fixed blade. You'll see it maintains all the aggressive attributes of the larger knife in a more manageable size. The blade has the same grind combination with a flat ground tip for strength and hollow ground main edge. The spine serrations are double row and razor sharp, so be careful. The hardened D2 hilt features a built-in crowbar and the knife completely disassembles for thorough cleaning with a single Allen wrench.

The family is spending some time at Balmoral, their country estate in Scotland.
According to reports, the British royal family is currently holidaying in Scotland and staying at Balmoral, their 50,000-acre estate in the Scottish Highlands.
Over the weekend, the royal clan – including the likes of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Mike and Zara Tindall – were spotted attending a local church service in the small village of Crathie Kirk, Vogue US reports.
While the family were 'off duty', the queen was seen sporting a head-to-toe burnt orange number while the Duchess of Cambridge wore a wide-brim hat and brown coat.
