Debug ISOs
reactos-bootcd - 0.4.7 - dev - 581-g9c790df - x86-gcc-lin-dbg.7z
reactos-bootcd = type of ISO (boot for installing, live for running OS without installing).
0.4.7 = The number of the next release. The number changes every time a release branch is created, so when the 0.4.7 was branched for release, the number on the daily/latest ISOs became 0.4.8. And when the 0.4.8 was branched for release, the number on the daily/latest ISOs became 0.4.9. Now the 0.4.9 is branched, the number on the daily/lastest ISOs are numbered 0.4.10.
dev = development
581-g9c790df = identifies the commit and the committer.
x86-gcc-lin-dbg = x86 (32bit OS) - gcc (compiler) - lin (built using Linux) - dbg (debug build)
msvc-win = msvc (compiler) - win (built using Windows)
For normal users, the ISOs built with gcc are the ones to go for. You may need a copy of MSVC to make full use of the msvc-win builds.
Stages of the installation of ReactOS
It may be helpful to understand the stages of the installation of ReactOS.
First stage:
When the installation CD (bootcd) is run, the bootloader asks you to press any key to install (real hardware)
The OS will first load itself into memory, then you are presented with the Language setup window, then 2 more windows, then Device settings window, then choose Hard drive partition window, then format window, then confirm format window. then choose directory window. then 2 more windows, then bootloader choice window. In the last window you are asked to remove media and press Enter. The computer now reboots.
Second stage:
The bootloader shows the Boot options choice window, then boots, loads device drivers, then shows the setup window, after that there are more configuration windows (when testing you can press Enter at all these windows), before it finally reboots.
Third stage:
It now boots up into desktop and displays the driver install wizard, if it finds any hardware without a driver.
Debug output only starts when the OS is loaded into memory, but just before it loads the drivers.
When installing (First stage), debug output is turned on by default and can only be captured through a null modem serial cable connect to a second computer (see also this section), but once ReactOS is installed (Second stage and normal usage), you will have a choice of how to record debug output, from the boot menu. See [1] in Screenshots section below.
Hardware requirements:
- A test computer with a serial port.
- A second computer with a serial port and Putty installed (or similar app).
- A nullmodem cable to connect both computers.
Win32 Putty - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html You will also find the source code for Windows and Unix at this link, but Unix users may be able to get Putty through their Package Manager (see NOTES for Unix users).
Setting up Putty.
There are some vital settings in Putty, which need to be set, so that Putty can capture a debug log.
In putty go to Category and select Session, then set the following inputs to these values:
Serial line = COM1 (ttyS0 for Unix)
Speed = 115200
Connection type = Serial
Back to Category and select Logging, in Session logging: check All session output. Note where Putty saves the log file and change if required; use the Browse button for the destination folder.
See in Screenshots [2] [3] below for visual information.
Save the above changes in putty, with a name of your choice, in Saved Sessions, then use the Save button. It can then be loaded the next time you use Putty, by using the Load button. Note: logging is started by using the Open button.
NOTES for Unix users:
Putty can be installed through your system's Package Manager. When installed, it is started from a command prompt window, by typing putty at the prompt. If you do not have a GUI, then install picocom through your system's Package Manager.
picocom settings
picocom -b 115200 -f x -p n -d 8 -c /dev/ttyS0 | tee -a /root/debug.log
picocom ..... starts the application.
-b ..... baud rate.
-f ..... flow control. x = Xon Xoff.
-p ..... parity. n = none.
-d ..... databits (the default is 8, so this can be omitted).
-c ..... echo to screen.
/dev/ttyS0 ..... the serial port (equal to COM1 in Windows).
tee ..... directs output to both the path and the screen. a appends the file (does not over-write the file).
/root/debug.log ..... path to and name of the output file
Stop and exit picocom with Ctrl+a followed by Ctrl+x.
The ReactOS debugger
The ReactOS debugger has some commands that can be used from the command line; all of the commands are typed into the ReactOS test computer, but will be viewed in the terminal window (i.e putty) on the second computer. To enter a command, press the hotkey combination of Tab+k, which halts the system and gives you the command prompt which looks like this: kdb:> where you can then enter the command.
Tab+k - this command halts the system so you can enter commands into the debugger.
bt - this command gives a backtrace; use it when ROS enters the debugger (see below).
cont - this is short for continue.
set condition * first always - this command tells ROS to enter the debugger on the first exception.
The following is an example of when ROS enters the debugger (see also in the [4] screenshot below):
Entered debugger on last-chance exception (Exception Code: 0xc0000001) (Unknown/User defined exception)
Getting a backtrace:
By looking in the Putty window, you will see when ROS enters the debugger, when that happens, you need to enter bt at the command prompt, like so:
kdb:> bt [4] and press enter on the keyboard.
You may see this
--- Press q to abort, any other key to continue --- [5]
If you do see it, then just press any key other than q, it may show again, just repeat until you are back at the command prompt of kdb:>
Getting a more detailed backtrace:
When you see debug info streaming into putty [Note], then press the hotkey combination of Tab+k on your keyboard, then type set condition * first always at the command prompt and press enter on the keyboard, then type cont [6] and press enter on the keyboard. Setting the condition to first always, will make ReactOS enter the debugger on every exception, which it will do many times, and each time you will have to type bt then cont.
No working keyboard!
Currently (Jan 2015) usb support is problematic, so your keyboard may not work! If you have found that your usb keyboard does not work with ReactOS, and ReactOS bsods at or before the first input window in the installation process, but after it is running in memory, you should still be able to get a debug log by using a livecd debug version (example: reactos-livecd-0.4.7-dev-575-g48b2714-x86-gcc-lin-rel.7z). The livecd versions currently default to Debug mode, so when it boots, it will output debug info to the serial port, but you will not be able to get a backtrace!
Do not use Tab+k and bt to get a backtrace, when ReactOS does not automatically enter the debugger! If you think by doing so, you will get some more useful information for the dev's to work with (which I have done in the past), you will not, it is a waste of time, the backtrace is of no value!
Putty names the file putty.log, it would be a good idea to re-name it, because the next time that putty is run, it will over-write the file called "putty.log". I use something descriptive, in this format "app name - ReactOS revision number", for example "gimp-1.0.4 [0.4.7-dev-575-g48b2714]".
TIP: If you find that when you use the test computer's keyboard to enter commands, nothing appears at the Command Prompt on the second (receiving) computer, then type the command on the second computer's keyboard, you then should see what you type appear at the Command Prompt.
RosDbg - This is only useful when ReactOS is compiled with a Microsoft compiler, which adds extra debugging code into ReactOS, which can output extra debug info. In use, the difference from Debug, is in the keyboard input, where you can only use Tab + k on the ReactOS test computer, all other keyboard input is via the logging computer's keyboard.
Screen - In this mode, debug information is written to the screen and you will have to take photos to be able to submit the information in a JIRA Issue. Any keyboard input is done on the ReactOS test computer keyboard. The instructions for Debug mode also apply to Screen mode.
Log file - This writes all debug output to a debug.log at C:\reactos\, on the ReactOS test computer's hard drive. Any keyboard input is done on the ReactOS test computer keyboard. You may, also need to use a Linux livecd to be able to recover the log file from the test computer.
Getting a debug log - Screenshots
Getting debug information in the first stage of installing ReactOS without needing a serial port
To get debug information without a serial port and/or null modem cable in the first stage of the installation of ReactOS, you will need to run ReactOS in Debug to screen mode, by modifying a file called txtsetup.sif. There is no problem in the second stage of installation of reactOS, because there is a window which gives you a choice of modes that you can run in, you can then choose either Screen or Log File (which writes the debug log to C:\reactos).
Finding txtsetup.sif within the source code
If you compile your own source, then you will find txtsetup.sif in your source directory/folder, in \reactos\boot\bootdata\txtsetup.sif. Example: E:\ReactOS_Development\Source\reactos\boot\bootdata\txtsetup.sif (see next image).
Modifying txtsetup.sif
Open txtsetup.sif in a text editor and scroll down to line 208 (132*) or thereabouts and find the section [SetupData]. (see image below) * older versions before 0.4.12-dev.
and comment out the line DbgOsLoadOptions = "/NOGUIBOOT /KDSERIAL /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /FIRSTCHANCE" by putting a semi-colon (;) at the front, then remove the semi-colon from the front of the line DbgOsLoadOptions = "/SOS /DEBUGPORT=SCREEN" as shown in the second image, just above, then save and compile.
Getting a debug log from VirtualBox
This section covers a simple VirtualBox setup using com0com or tty0tty as a virtual null modem cable to connect to Putty; all running on the same computer, no need for a real null modem cable and a second computer.
VirtualBox for Windows, Unix, can be down loaded from https://www.virtualbox.org/ (plus installation help, should you need it), it is also available for Unix through your package manager.
Note that for Unix, you will need to have the development package and the kernel source or header files installed.
Install VirtualBox for your operating system, then start it. You will first need to create a virtual machine to install ReactOS into; this is done by clicking on the blue New button. In the first setup window you will need to give it a name in Name:, then set it to Microsoft Windows in Type: and then set it to, either WindowsXP(32bit) or Windows 2003(32 bit) in Version:, then for a simple setup, you can accept all the defaults in all the other setup windows (I alter just one item, I select VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) in the last setup window). There is no need to install ReactOS into the virtual machine just yet, if you want to log the debug output from the start of an installation.
Note: You may find it helpful if you name the virtual machine with a descriptive name, such as 0.4.7-dev-582-g74cc915 or ReactOS-g74cc915 or ROS-0.4.6, especially if you intend doing some serious debugging and having several virtual machines with different versions of ReactOS installed.
There is another user's wiki here User:Matthiasbasler#Tutorial:_Getting_a_stable_software_stack_with_ReactOS_on_VirtualBox. which covers a more detailed setup for VirtualBox.
Windows - com0com
Get the latest com0com from https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/files/com0com/ and install it. Then run setup [8a], click on the Add Pair button, which creates a pair of virtual ports, then click on the Apply button. There is no need to tick any of the tick boxes.
In the setup window you will see CNCA0 and CNCB0 which are the newly created virtual ports [8] (If you should ever have the need to add more virtual ports, then the next pair will be CNCA1 and CNCB1). The CNCA0 is used in the Path/Address: in VirtualBox virtual machine serial configuration [10] in this format \\.\CNCA0 and the CNCB0 is used in the Serial line in the Putty serial configuration [11a] just as it is.
The com0com virtual ports process remains until you use the Remove button in the setup app, to remove them.
Unix - tty0tty
You can get tty0tty from https://sourceforge.net/projects/tty0tty/files/ (the latest is currently tty0tty-1.2).
Unpack the package tty0tty-1.2tgz to a folder; my OS was able to unpack it to /tty0tty-1.2/, just by clicking on the package.
It requires compiling, so navigate to the directory /tty0tty-1.2/pts (cd /tty0tty-1.2/pts) and open a terminal window (right click - Window - Terminal here). At the command prompt type make and shortly you should have an executable file in the pts folder. Then still within the pts folder/directory, type ./tty0tty at the command prompt to run [8b]. The output could be
(/dev/pts/1) <=> (/dev/pts/2)
(/dev/pts/2) <=> (/dev/pts/3)
it may vary. But whatever the left side is, such as /dev/pts/2 will be entered into the Path/Address: in the VirtualBox virtual machine's serial configuration [10] and whatever the right side is, such as /dev/pts/3 will be entered into the Serial line in the Putty Serial configuration, instead of the default com or tty [11b].
I end the tty0tty virtual ports process, by using the Ctrl - c combination, but I would expect it to terminate when the terminal window is closed.
There is another folder in the directory /tty0tty-1.2/module which also requires compiling. This will, when run, create several pairs of virtual ports, which remain until the OS is re-installed or upgraded. I have not used it or included it within this tutorial.
Testing com0com and tty0tty
To test if it works, configure one instance of putty with CNCA0 in Windows or /dev/pts/2 in Unix and another instance of putty with CNCB0 in Windows or /dev/pts/3 in Unix, then run both Windows Puttys or both Unix Puttys and type into each terminal window. If the input from each terminal window is shown in the other terminal window (what is typed into Putty No1 should display in Putty No2, also what is typed into Putty No2 should be displayed in Putty No1), then you have a working virtual null modem cable.
Now you can run your VirtualBox virtual machine and install ReactOS.
Note: When you run your virtual machine with an installed OS, then make sure that there is no bootable media in any of your external drives (floppy, USB or CD/DVD), else the VirtualBox virtual machine will boot it instead of the installed OS.
Now you can refer back to #The_ReactOS_debugger
Software crash reports
If some software that you are trying to use or are using, crashes, then you should find a crash report file on the Desktop. I would advise you to rename it as soon as possible, so that you know what software it is for and to prevent it from being over written.

Remember the good old days when there were no questions about the Castle line stopping.
If memory serves me right there were two factions that one could say were enemies. We will use letters to illustrate.
Year 1—A vs B
Year 2—B vs C
Year 3—C vs D
Year 4—D vs E
I don't remember if it was each year but there was always one older faction and one new faction. With one familiar faction, and one faction yet to discover. You could even say one defeated the other with their newer weapons and better Flags?
I thought that was going to be the basic pattern
Year 1—Crownies vs Skelies
Year 2—Crownies team up with Dwarves vs Trolls
Year 3—Crownies team up with Dwarves vs Trolls with return of Skelies
Year 4—Crownies loose their power in the land as the Trolls get stronger with the return of the undead armies. The Dwarves in their desperation turn to the (New faction goes here, could be elves, forest men, or any one else). They are victorious in the war and the trolls and undead army are defeated. But there is not much time to heal the wounds as…….
Year 5 brings a new invader from over the seas that tries the alliance the Dwarves made with ???????? causing the Dwarves to be gone by the beginning of Year 6.

Why bike? How about saving time, saving money, improving your health and helping your community. And, along the way, you'll have fun!
Saving Time
Most trips in town are less than two miles. This means that even at an easy pace you can arrive in about 10 minutes, with no parking hassles. A benefit of biking longer trips, such as your commute to work, is you can skip going to the gym that day.
Saving Money
When you bike, you save money usually spent at the pump. Plus, oil changes, tune-ups, tire replacement and parking become more affordable. You can even save money on auto insurance if you drive fewer miles per year. Some families find they can eliminate the need for a second car by using bikes.
Improving Your Health
Pop Quiz: Which is a greater health hazard?
- Negotiating traffic
- Sitting on the couch
If you guessed a) the couch, you're right! The surgeon general suggests that significant health benefits can be obtained by 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five days a week. You don't have to ride like you're in the Tour de France to see and feel the positive effects of biking!
Helping Your Community
You can reduce air and water pollution, create safer streets for kids, support a quieter neighborhood, lessen the need for expensive road repair, and create a friendlier environment to live in. Start with a bike! It's a cost-effective way to do your part for the community.
The Best Reason of All
Regular cyclists will tell you they arrive at work feeling happy, even when the weather is dismal. Scientists struggle to explain this phenomenon, citing endorphins and increased oxygen flow to the brain. But the best proof is in the faces of your neighborhood kids—they're experts at finding the fun stuff to do, and getting on a bike is usually one of them.

Nelson Mandela, who heroically symbolized the longstanding fight against South Africa's white supremacist government – and rose from its victimized prisoner to his nation's powerful and compassionate leader – has died, according to South African President Jacob Zuma.
He was 95.
"My Fellow South Africans, our beloved Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the founding President of our democratic nation has departed. He passed on peacefully in the company of his family around 20h50 on the 5th of December 2013," Zuma said in a statement.
"He is now resting. He is now at peace. Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father. Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of a profound and enduring loss."
Having suffered from failing health over the past several months, Mandela was readmitted to a Pretoria hospital in early June for a recurring lung infection that at one point developed into pneumonia. His lungs had been weakened as a result of his contracting tuberculosis during the 27 years he spent behind bars. On Sept. 1, he was released from the hospital but remained "critical and is at times unstable," according to a statement from the Office of the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa. His treatment continued at home.
During those years as political prisoner No. 0221141011, and later No. 46664, Mandela's words and physical likeness were barred from public view in South Africa. Yet, his fame and reputation only grew, PEOPLE reported in 1990, propelled even further in the instant that Mandela was set free by the country's then-president, F.W. de Klerk.
"Our struggle has reached a decisive moment," Mandela, then 71, told thousands of cheering supporters hours after his release. "We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait. Now is the time to intensify the struggle."
PHOTOS: Nelson Mandela: His Life in Pictures
Symbolic Tribal Name
Born in the rural village of Qunu, Mandela spent his early days tilling fields and herding cattle, and his nights listening to tribal elders talk of the time before the white man came to that part of South Africa. Even as a youth, Mandela showed signs of leadership. In 1930, after the death of his father, Henry Gadla Mandela – a farmer who was also the main adviser to the Paramount Chief of the Tembu tribe – 12-year-old Nelson was sent to live in the chief's Great Place, where his intelligence quickly marked him as the heir apparent who would someday rule the tribe.
But Mandela – whose tribal name, Rolihlahla, meant "one who brings trouble upon himself" – instead chose the path of political activism. In 1940, he was expelled from Fort Hare College in the Eastern Cape for helping to organize a strike protesting efforts to limit the power of the student council. The next year he headed for Johannesburg, where he landed a job as a clerk in a white law office – and began studying for his correspondence law degree from the University of the Witwatersrand.
Along the way, Mandela married Evelyn Ntoko Mase, a nurse with whom he had four children: son Thembi (1946-69), son Makgatho (1950-2005), daughter Maki (born in 1953) and another daughter, who died when she was 9 months old. But the marriage was troubled. Evelyn wanted her husband to concentrate on his career and forget politics, while Nelson felt deep anger at the discrimination he witnessed daily. In 1944, Mandela and two close friends formed the Youth League of the African National Congress.
During that time in Johannesburg, Mandela began keeping company with a social worker named Nomzamo Winnie Madikizela, who was then 20 – 16 years his junior. Mandela separated from Evelyn in 1955, and they were divorced two years later. Daughter Maki contended that her mother learned of the divorce in a newspaper article, which left lingering bitterness.
Political Activism
The courtship between Nelson and Winnie was far from routine, PEOPLE noted. In December 1956, police arrested Mandela and 155 other activists, charging them with treason for staging strikes and protests in opposition to apartheid laws. Their marathon trial ended five years later in acquittal, but within months of the verdict, Mandela had gone underground to form the military wing of the ANC, which then launched a series of bombings on power plants, rail lines and other strategic targets.
Thus began a life of physical separation for Nelson and Winnie, who married in 1958 and had two children, daughters Zeni, born in 1958, and Zindzi, in 1960.
After more than a year on the run, Mandela was captured by police. He was convicted of sabotage and treason in June 1964 and sentenced to life in prison. Immediately sent to Robben Island, a craggy, windblown Alcatraz near Cape Town harbor, Mandela spent his first six months using a sledgehammer to break rocks into gravel for the roads around the prison. Later, he was sent to work in the island's limestone quarry.
Mandela tried to make the best of the 18 years he spent on the island. Denied newspapers until 1980, he and his ANC comrades kept abreast of developments in South Africa through smuggled messages. In the evening they talked politics and proselytized new prisoners – so effectively that the place became known as Mandela University.
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it," he said. "The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Following his release, Mandela worked tirelessly with de Klerk to avoid a civil war, and in 1993, the two leaders shared the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts. In 1994, in an unprecedented move for South Africa, Mandela was voted the nation's first black president, a job he served for five years.
By then, however, his marriage to Winnie had crumbled amid rumors of her infidelity. (She also was arrested and convicted in 1991 in connection with the kidnapping and assault of a 14-year-old informant. In 2003, she was found guilty of fraud and theft of money from a funeral fund.) They separated in 1992, though she was among the visitors to the hospital to see Mandela in his final days.
In 1998, on his 80th birthday, Mandela married his third wife, Graça Machel, widow of Mozambique president Samora Machel, an ANC ally who had died in a 1986 plane crash. The next day they had a star-studded party with 2,000 guests, PEOPLE reported, including Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Danny Glover and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who had gently chided the couple for living out of wedlock. "She's made a decent man out of him," Tutu said. "Now you won't shout at me," Mandela, with a laugh, told his old friend.
Following his retirement from office, Mandela helped bring attention to a number of social-justice causes through the Nelson Mandela Foundation, including Africa's overwhelming AIDS epidemic, and for a long time he continued an exhausting schedule. In July 2010, his age finally catching up with him, he made a rare public appearance at soccer's World Cup final, circling the field in a golf cart with his wife.
FROM ESSENCE.COM: President Obama on Mandela's Passing
"I have walked that long road to freedom," Mandela once said. "I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb."

Basenotes Plus
As Ive said in the past one of the reasons Im doing SotW is to see whether the actions of the community match up to the words on the forums. Over the last couple of weeks there have been three opportunities for me to check whether our words as a community match our actions in what we wear.
The first is this thread around Acqua di Parma Colonias
Throughout this thread there is a debate about which Colonia is best. There
For the month of June I decided to wear nothing but samples. As there were a couple of days off for SSDs I decided to extend it until July 5th so there would be 29 scents sampled in all. In Part I the first 13 scents were discussed and now in Part II the remaining 16.
Guerlain Jicky---Made for a man but loved by women especially the women of Basenotes. Ive been dying to try this since noticing that this is the ladies equivalent to Terre DHermes as far as how many of them wear it. ScentMother
Once again the confounded servers and the specter of work keep me from posting to the blog in a regular manner. Ive been spending the month of June going through a bunch of samples to see if there was anything I wanted to try more of. In this post Im going to go through the scents I tried in the first half of the month and next week Ill return with the scents from the second half.
Jo Malone Mandarin, Basil and Lime---After loving Black Vetyver Café and not having longevity issues with
"Fashion dies, style remains"
Words spoken by Yves St. Laurent and quoted many times this past week on the occasion of his death at 71. His death has caused me to reflect on where style began, for me. It began in the mid 70's as I moved through high school. It began as I wanted to look good for my own self-confidence as well as to attract girls. It began as I looked at GQ for the first time and thought, I want to look like that. It began when I bought my first pair of tailored pants
Tonight we observe a mysterious event I call The Jicky Affair. I, like many other Basenoters, was looking forward to the release of the 8th Annual Basenotes Awards. Not only was I curious to see the winners but it would signal the end of Grants long nightmare getting the site re-coded. As I would think about the results, based on my SotW, I expected Terre DHermes to have a strong showing which it did. Additionally I also expected Guerlain Jicky to do similarly.

E-Liquid and E Juice Ingredients
E liquid and E Juice are one and the same, but have you ever wondered they are made up of? It is used in the electronic cigarettes as a substitute for the real deal. They are typically made up of 3 different things including nicotine, a flavoring agent, and diluents. There are many other different names for the liquid including nicotine fluid, juice, smoke juice and vape juice.
What is E Liquid?
E liquid is the liquid part of an electronic cigarette and the part that when heated up creates the vapor. The vapor is the part of the electronic cigarette that gives the flavor and the nicotine. The liquid is made up of 3 different components that can be made of a few alternatives. There is the nicotine, diluent and the flavoring agent. We found a good study on e liquid and steeping on this online store.
What is Nicotine?
Nicotine is the addictive part of the actual cigarette, but it is a non-carcinogenic and is said to have many different benefits for health, which includes reducing the chances of Parkinson's disease. Nicotine is derived from the nicotine plant and in a cigarette it is released when it is burning. The nicotine that is put inside the liquid is the natural stuff from the leaves.
It is made by taking the nicotine out of the leaves using chemicals before it is distilled and made pure. Only the top level of pure nicotine is used in the liquid.
Flavoring Agents:
There are many different flavoring agents that are used to create many different flavors of the liquid. The flavors are introduced after the nicotine is purified and can be customized to any taste and flavor. These flavors can range from your favorite drinks, food and fruits. The top flavored e liquid UK offers include:
- Cherry
- Lemon Lime
- Lemon
- Strawberry
- Raspberry
- Blueberry
- Hazelnut
- Hickory smoke
- Spearmint
- Canadian
- Honey
- Cuban cigar
- Menthol
- Butter Rum
- Black Cherry
- American Tobacco
- Espresso
- Macchiato
- Dill Pickle
- Chocolate Decadence
- French Vanilla Cappuccino
- Caramel
- Mint Chocolate Chip
Diluents For E-Juice:
The diluents serve a few purposes including diluting the mixture down to the correct strength and proper mixture of the nicotine and flavor. It also creates the vapor that will be inhaled and carries the nicotine and flavor from the electronic cigarette. These diluents can be made of either vegetable glycerin (VC) or propylene glycol (GP). We found the Best E Liquid selection over at Ichor Liquid.
What is Propylene Glycol?
Propylene glycol is the most popular way to dilute the solution and is a clear vicious liquid with almost no smell, but gives an extremely strong hit in the throat. This is considered to be generally safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used in many other things including food, health, household and skincare products.
The taste of this solution is a bit sweet and works best when it is mixed with other ingredients such as Vegetable glycerin. The combination of these 2 along with the nicotine and flavoring agents makes the vapor a better experience.
What is Vegetable Glycerin?
Vegetable glycerin is an ingredient that is derived from plants and is used in many different products. It is used in shampoos, lotions, medicine, pet food, toothpaste, baked items and many more products. This has a much thicker viscosity than propylene glycol, which is why it works best when they are combined together. Not only does the propylene glycol help the vegetable glycerin to be thinner, but the flavor is more robust and the flavor stands out more.
Different Strengths of Liquid:
Each of the liquids is customized to the customer and can be made in a variety of different strengths. These can range from no nicotine to extra strength. This depends on the percentage of nicotine per milliliter of the diluent and flavoring agent. The strengths are:
- Nicotine free is 0% nicotine in the liquid.
- Ultra light strength typically has around 0.8% nicotine, but can go up to 1.6%.
- Light strength can be from 1.6% to 2.4% of nicotine.
- Full strength is normally considered if the percentage is 2.4% to 3.6%.
- Extra strength is anything that is between 3.6% and 5.4% of nicotine per milliliter.
- Double extra strength is any percentage of nicotine that is over 5.4%.
The e juice is beneficial because not only do you get the nicotine that your body is craving, but you get a lower amount that can curve the craving. The less nicotine that is put inside your body the better.

About Youth Group
Sydney, Australia's Youth Group originally formed around vocalist/guitarist Toby Martin and drummer Danny Allen. While the two had hooked on with various other players here and there, by the band's second full-length they'd gelled with guitarist Cameron Emerson-Elliott and bassist Patrick Matthews. Released in Australia (Ivy League) in 2004 and America (via Epitaph) in spring 2005, Skeleton Jar capitalized on the expressive vocals and nimble instrumentation that brought Youth Group comparisons to the Sarah Records roster heyday, Death Cab for Cutie, and Badly Drawn Boy. Jar was also the culmination of what the 2001 Ivy League full-length Urban & Eastern had started, as well as the handful of singles the band had issued dating back to their late-'90s formation. Already a sensation at home, Youth Group made plans for U.K. and U.S. touring in 2005, including dates with Death Cab for Cutie. A friendship with that band led to Youth Group coming to the attention of the music director of the popular teen drama The O.C., and the guys soon recorded a cover of Alphaville's "Forever Young" for use in the show. The song became a number one hit in Australia, earning the guys a 2006 ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year - Single. Their third album, Casino Twilight Dogs, appeared in July 2006, again issued through Ivy League. ~ Johnny Loftus

Dancing With The Stars Season 13's New Pro Tristan MacManus!
As we posted in a teaser to you earlier, we thought we'd profile each of the three new dancing pros since many fans to Dancing With The Stars may not be familiar with them. I'm also asking Courtney and Heidi to also add some commentary and predictions at the end. Before I begin, I want to thank them for their takes as well as John for the idea. I'd also like to thank PureDWTS reader Magnolia and her TristanMacManus Fans Facebook Page and TristanDWTSFans Twitter for all of her help on the sidelines (be sure to join her pages if you are serious Tristan fan). I'd also like to thank Tristan MacManus Facebook, the Boston Irish, ABC DWTS, Supershag.com, and Google is your friend for information and pictures.
So, yes, first up is the amazing, talented, mysterious, handsome, and fun Irishman who has captured hearts and fans quickly on the show, Tristan MacManus!!
Born July 23, 1982, Tristan is a native to Bray, Ireland, which is a small town located on the east coast. Tristan started dancing when he was 9 years old. He, as well as his sister, were first encouraged and introduced to dance by their grandparents, Jon and Phyllis McCann, who were and are also dancers. However, his sister didn't take to dancing or the attention like Tristan did. She ended up quitting and Tristan continued to dance. However, Tristan also liked soccer. So, he divided up his time between both soccer and dancing. Soccer dominated his time mostly at the time since he wanted to do what his friends were doing and no one really "danced" where he came from. Eventually, Tristan realized he wasn't as talented at soccer like he was at dancing although even to this day, he's remained an avid fan of the sport. Tristan then decided to return full time to dancing where he was trained and competed in Latin, Ballroom, Irish, and Jazz dancing. He danced extensively in Ireland and all over Europe capturing numerous titles as a Junior and Amateur at the European and World Championships and the All Ireland Championships.
After winning the All Ireland Championships for the last time in 2000, Tristan was getting burned out of competing. He moved on to perform in musical theater in the successful tour "Simply Ballroom" which initially started in London and then made a run in Las Vegas. After that, he went to London's West End where he performed in the stage version of "Dirty Dancing." He served as the production's Dance Captain and Ballroom Supervisor.
After "Dirty Dancing", Tristan then danced in the highly successful "Burn The Floor", which travelled the world from Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Singapore, Canada and the U.S.
In 2004, the handsome Irishman also snagged a part and appeared as a dancer in the film "Ella Enchanted" starring Anne Hathaway. He danced with Vivica Fox who played a "Fairy". You might also be able to see him dancing in this scene?
That's not all! While taking a break from touring, Tristan became a dance teacher. He taught for a year at Super Shag Dance Studios in Charlestown, Mass.. Tristan also taught in Ireland's Trinity College and U.C.D.
It's funny how things lead to another because the producers of Dancing With The Stars first approached Tristan to dance on the show when they saw him dancing in "Burn The Floor". The call came just after he'd returned to the tour. He had only been back to work in Burn The Floor for two or three weeks, and he had to tell them that he wouldn't be able to do Dancing With The Stars at that time. Luckily, they were insistent. They came back a couple of months later when Season 12 was first starting and asked if he'd be available. He was immediately added to the new Dancing With The Stars Troupe which, with his popularity, led to a promotion in Season 13 as a Pro paired with Nancy Grace. Nancy has described Tristan as "handsome, but, when the music starts, it's like someone sprinkled magic on him and he makes a complete transformation."
Tristan, here's to you and may your run on Dancing With The Stars be a lengthy one!!
Here are Courtney and Heidi's feelings, thoughts, knowledge, and predictions on Tristan and we look forward to yours too!!
Courtney: As funny as it may sound, the first thing I thought upon hearing Tristan's troupe intro last season was "Yes!!! Another fun accent…and it's not Russian or Austrailian!" 😛 I dunno, accents fascinate me – especially Irish & Scottish ones. Tristan just sounds so happy & positive when he talks! He definitely seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders and is willing to put in the work to really help Nancy shine on the dance floor. And let's face it: if anyone or anything can endear Nancy to the masses, it's a bit of the luck o' the Irish! 😀
Heidi: I think it's pretty clear that the producers are trying to find the next Derek, Maks or Mark with Tristan – and it looks to me like they made a great selection! What a cutie and I confess to being a sucker for an Irish accent as well. 🙂 Now, at the risk of being the downer of the group, I will avoid getting too attached to Tristan because, let's face it, the producers don't have the best track record for finding a pro THEY consider worthy to stick around for several seasons. I thought Damian, for one, deserved another chance – he was partnered with someone with a tremendous…impact. 🙂 Nancy is the same sort of partner, albeit for different reasons. I worry for our boy Tristan. Although, if our suspicions about the future of Derek and Maks are accurate, then Tristan may be entering at just the right time. One thing's for sure, he would ease the pain of losing one of the big dogs. 🙂

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
In SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) one way to create a new object is to right click on a folder in Solution Explorer and point to Add. Doing so will display this menu:
A number of options are offered for creating a brand new object ("function", "table", "stored proc" etc…) and one of them is "Script". If your preference is to handcraft the DDL for every database object without resorting to a GUI then you may choose to use the "Script" option because, after all, every file is just a DDL script – why not write the thing from scratch? There is however one fundamental difference between the Script" option and all the other options that you should be aware of.
For the screenshot below I added a script and handcrafted a simple CREATE TABLE statement:
Notice that the table is defined in the dbo schema but it is not appearing in SQL Server Object Explorer under the dbo schema node. Why is that? The answer is actually pretty simple. If I select Script1.sql in Solution Explorer and hit F4 the properties window appears and we see this:
The Build Action property of the file is set to "None" which means that the file does not get included in a build and hence any objects defined within that file will not appear in our database. This is the default behaviour when you Add as script whereas the default behaviour when you explicitly add an object is to set Build Action=Build. That is the fundamental difference between adding a script and adding a specific object.
This is one of those nuances of SSDT that is an easy problem to spot when you know about it but can cause you to spend hours hunting around for a solution if you do not (believe me, I've been there). Be aware of it!
If you would like to receive an email when updates are made to this post, please register here
Subscribe to this post's comments using
When I right click and choose Add Script, the Add New Item dialog box gives me 4 options in SSDT:
Post-Deployment Script
Pre-Deployment Script
Script (Build)
Script (Not in Build)
And as you can imagine, choosing each one changes the Build Action property accordingly.
Do you not get that dialog when you choose Add->Script?
Good point, yes, you do get those 4 options. My point, not explained too well I guess, is that if you choose the default option (which I suspect many will do - because I've seen many colleagues do it) then it won't be in the build.
Thanks for allowing me to clarify.
This is a typical example of GUI killing productivity. The task of coalescing text files into a single script and/or building a database is trivial - it is about 100 lines of C# code in two simple classes. It took me less than an hour to write, and it just works without issues for several years. It would probably take me more time to write a blog post like yours than to develop a working solution from scratch in C#. More to the point, if I want to change the way I work with sql scripts, I can do it right away...
interesting approach. I also prefer handcrafting the DDL for each object...and the table designer GUI is a pain in the arse. Instead of starting with a script object, I change the default editor from...
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, Editor Selector
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, T-SQL Editor
To do this, just right click on a table file in the object explorer and select "Open With"...then click/select the "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, T-SQL Editor" and set as default. Screenshot: http://byobi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Open-With....png
The instructions you gave on how to take a script out of the build were spot on. I kept trying to do this from the context of the editor and never got these properties. Thanks for clarifying that you need to F4 from the item in the solution explorer!

We are in love with No.6 boots--it's the perfect shoe for the season. The boutique is located on a quiet street in Little Italy and is a favorite of locals and celebrities alike, maybe because chic comfort is their mission. We talked to the owners Karin Bereson and Morgan Yakus about their exquisitely curated shop, the highly coveted boots and their hangouts from coast to coast.
What is the No.6 credo and mission?
We always try to have a great mix of pieces that are beautiful, interesting and wearable. Our store is very welcoming and we love that our customers feel comfortable hanging out here and can enjoy the experience of shopping as well as the items they buy.
What new items are you showcasing this fall and winter?
We have several new styles of our clog boots, which people love--many of our customers are buying their second and third pairs. We also did our No.6 yoke chiffon blouse in five different colors and prints and the long button back dress--it can be worn all year round with sandals or with boots and a chunky sweater.
We know your No.6 boots are the hottest thing going--tell us about your new styles and where you draw your inspiration to create new styles?
This season we have two new styles that women are loving. Our blanket boot which is a throwback to a "Santa Fe" 70s-meets-90s kind of boot. We also have our lace-up shearling boot which we now do on our mid-heel base. We changed it to two-tone, added a kiltie and men's tech-y laces for
our version of a classic duck boot.
Why does a marriage between comfort and style seem so rare when it comes to women and their footwear?
Generally the more "styled" the shoe, the more that comfort gets sacrificed. Shoes are the one thing that really changes everything about an outfit as we get all our energy from our feet. So, the sexier the shoe, the higher the heel, the more change in the way we carry ourselves. And, women will sacrifice a lot for a pair of shoes they love.
What clothing do you think is most flattering for this time of year and what are your current best-selling clothing items?
Winter is not the easiest time for flattering clothing since it is generally heavier and bulky. We love long silhouettes that have lots of movement and draping that you can throw a heavy sweater over and still have a feminine feel underneath. We have beautiful long chiffon and silk skirts from Correll Correll that look great with big chunky knits on. The No.6 collection is selling well because it's easy to wear. Not to sound like a cliche, but you can wear it day to night. It's clothing that has personality but you can make it your own by customizing it with other things. We do a lot of silk prints and often people will collect the same style in multiple prints.
Which accessories and designers are you loving right now?
We love Gillian Steinhardt, a stylist who just started designing a beautiful line of jewelry, sort of Byzantine inspired with one of a kind intaglios from Turkey set into rings and necklaces. We also love the animal print pony oxfords and ankle boots from Les Prairies des Paris.
What are your most favorite vintage finds and what is currently available at No.6 right now--please give us the covetous details!
Right now, we are kind of dying over a pair of deep purple velvet high waisted YSL pants and a two-piece Jil Sander taupe and gold bustier and harem pant.
If we weren't running No.6, we would be ___________.
just running
What are your favorite late-night bites?
KB: EN Japanese brasserie in the West Village
MY: Five Leaves Williamsburg
What are your favorite things between two buns?
KB: Lobster roll from Ed's Lobster Bar
MY: I don't eat bread, so closest to that for me is a La Esquina fish taco.
What are your favorite unique desserts?
KB: Anything raw and chocolate from One Lucky Duck
MY: Vegan ice cream from the all-vegan ice cream shop in East Village. They have a great ice cream sandwich.
What has been your most unusual or unique dining experience?
KB: Just had a picnic with five non-English speaking French people on the center of the Simone de Beauvoir bridge in Bercy.
MY: Eating dinner with Tibetan monks in Dharamsala, India. Very enlightening.
What are your favorite hotels and why?
KB: Petite Ermitage in LA--the rooftop deck is like being in Spain and Morgan and I held a meeting in the pool.
MY: Petite Ermitage, its a home away from home.

EDITORIAL: To be Connecticut governor, Foley must answer basic policy questions
Asked to tell voters where he stands on Connecticut's new, toughest-in-the-nation gun control law, Tom Foley's response to a New Haven Register reporter was: "Enough on gun control. It's over."
Asked again in an interview on WFSB's "Face the State" program Sunday morning, Foley again dodged the question, refusing to say whether he would have signed the bill or whether he supported specific aspects of it, such as an expanded assault weapons ban and limit on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Asked again in an interview with the Hartford Courant on Tuesday, Foley talked about what the bill didn't include, but refused to say where he stood on what it did.
Tom Foley wants to be Connecticut's next governor. How can Connecticut voters entrust that job to him if he won't say where he stands on basic questions about major public policy issues facing the state?
Among the strongest lobbyists for the new gun regulations Connecticut has adopted were the parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It's especially inappropriate for Foley to dodge and dismiss the issue considering his insensitive reference earlier this year to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy receiving a "Newtown bounce" in popularity due to the shooting.
This is not about scoring political points against Foley for not being willing to sign the gun control bill. (We kind of assume he wouldn't have signed it, but again, he won't really say one way or the other.)
It's about the basic dialogue that needs to happen among serious candidates for higher office in order for voters to make an informed choice.
In fact, Foley might find that those most irked about his failure to take a position on the specifics of the gun bill are Republican Party primary voters vehement about gun rights.
Like Linda McMahon in her two failed bids for U.S. Senate, Foley faces the perception of being a disengaged businessman with no policy record to judge trying to buy an election with vague soundbites about being an outsider.
Foley offers some legitimate criticism of Malloy's vision and execution on economic development and the state budget. But he'll need to offer a specific vision of his own in the 2014 campaign, and can't just take a pass on major issues facing Connecticut because he doesn't see an immediate political benefit in taking a position.

HP Introduces High-Speed Inkjet Corrugated Packaging Solution for the Transition into Digital
LONDON—June 2, 2014—HP today announced the HP High-speed Inkjet Corrugated Packaging Solution enabling high-volume packaging converters to realize the benefits of digital production.
Building on the success of its high-speed inkjet web press portfolio in production mail, publishing and commercial print, HP is extending its proven technology into packaging. The new solution, based on the HP T400 simplex color inkjet web press, allows converters to transition high-value jobs from analog litho-lamination and flexographic processes to digital to take advantage of short- and medium-runs, versioning and reduced costs. This switch helps meet customer demand for fast time to market, micro-segmentation, increased production flexibility and a reduced environmental footprint.
"The corrugated market is ripe for digital transformation as converters look to reduce costs while marketers and brands want to make a more targeted, effective impact with their packaging," said Aurelio Maruggi, vice president and general manager, Inkjet High-speed Production Solutions Division, HP. "The new HP packaging solution was created with converters in mind, delivering the speed, quality and versatility they need to replace or complement traditional analog technology with digital."
With speeds up to 182 meters (600 feet) per minute or up to 12,000 m2/hour (129 thousand square feet or MSF/hour), the HP T400 Simplex press offers digital production of preprint rolls to make corrugated board in roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet configurations, combined with high speed lamination or narrow web corrugation. Ideal for production of corrugated boxes and high-quality displays, the digital platform delivers faster turnaround times with minimal set-up required. It also increases operational efficiencies for short- and medium-run production with reduced waste as well as provides cost-effective versioned and personalized output.
In addition to the press, the HP High-speed Inkjet Corrugated Packaging Solution includes new HP Priming Agent technology with four-color HP A50 aqueous pigmented CMYK inks that provide outstanding print quality. Featuring 1,200 nozzles per inch, the press delivers reliable printing with redundancy. The packaging solution also prints on existing uncoated and coated corrugated substrates, including both recycled and thin liners as well as premium offset media. Other features include:
- Unwind and rewind stands that handle 1.5 meter (60 inch) diameter rolls of standard corrugated media with 4 inch (.1 meter) cores
- Formats ranging from 106 centimeters (42 inches) wide to 2.7 meters (108 inches) long in a single frame length
- A new coating solution for media priming with HP Priming Agent technology and overprint varnishing with existing aqueous fluids
More information about the HP Inkjet Web Press portfolio is available at www.hp.com/go/inkjetwebpress. Additional information can be found on the HP Graphic Arts YouTube channel and on Twitter.

What You Should Know About Eating Out With Allergies
"I am really allergic to cow dairy—sheep and goat milk are fine—and I can get away with a tiny bit of butter, but anything more than that and I'll be puking like crazy. I also can't have gluten, but a cross-contamination won't kill me, promise. Other than that, I'll eat anything, and I think I have a good idea of what I can have here on your menu, so..."
This begins my restaurant spiel; one that makes me cringe even as I type it. My rocky relationship with a laundry list of certain foods began 20 years ago with a Lyme disease diagnosis, one still with me to this day.
As a writer who's covered hundreds of chefs and restaurants, I've seen firsthand how the restaurant industry has become more sensitive to people like me. Compare that to ten years ago when I could count on one hand the number of times I heard "gluten" in a dining room.
For those with dietary restrictions and allergies, dining out is easier than ever, and more chefs are cooking with an awareness of our needs. But I've noticed a weird shift lately—I'm started to get sick more often from meals that restaurants have promised "safe."
A few weeks ago I went to a new restaurant headed up by a popular chef that I'd worked with in the past. I ordered a dish that had Manchego cheese on it, which is made from sheep's milk and is totally safe for me. I specified my dairy allergy with the server and she guaranteed it was just sheep's milk. The dish came, and when I smelled it I was unsure; she repeated it was just sheep's milk. I took a bite and swore I could taste cow's milk. A third time—me asking as politely as possible—and the dish again was promise to be safe. After two more bites I called it quits. Soon after it took hours of violent vomiting before the world was sorta okay again, and two days later I still felt like I had the flu.
Why is this happening now? 10 or 20 years ago, a server took it seriously if you made it clear that you had a food allergy, because you were most likely the only one in the restaurant doing so. Today, with more and more people speaking up, servers and cooks have to adapt so often that I've been more bashful in adding my own issues to their plate.These days we're inundating servers and kitchens with dietary requests to the point that they're not taking them, and maybe we're not communicating smartly enough.
To see what's what, I spoke to chefs, general managers and servers around the country to determine just how they want to deal with food allergies and what we should do to make ourselves heard. Consider this your etiquette guide to eating out safely.
First: Choose Your Restaurant Wisely
The first step in dining out safely is remembering that your body is your own, what it can handle is your responsibility, and no one is obligated to feed you.
Marcia Polas is a Pilates instructor in Denver who works primarily with chefs and performing artists, preparing their bodies for physically exhausting fields. She also has Celiac disease so severe that any ingestion of gluten requires an EpiPen and a prayer. Yet she never just assumes a restaurant will take care of her; "I've had a lot of restaurants say, 'We can do anything, don't worry about it.' But I don't want to be the hardest thing that happens to the line on a Saturday night when they're already in the weeds. I stick to places I've been to at the busiest time periods, and I make a phone call and visit new places when it's not their busiest time, to make sure they feel good about feeding me."
In that light, the city's hottest new restaurant may not be your best choice for an allergy-sensitive meal, as cooks and servers are still learning the ropes and surprise come from all sides. Also know what a restaurant is based on: is the menu heavy with soy sauce, all about fried chicken, or proud of pot pie? Those ingredients and dishes are full of common allergens that are hard or impossible for a restaurant to modify.
Tamara Davis once served at a very popular burger restaurant in Los Angeles where "gluten was in the sauce that made the burgers so yummy! I would get long speeches from customers about how we should change it, and that we are losing customers because of it, but what am I supposed to do? I didn't make the recipes."
Tasting menus can be tricky, too, as one nightly or weekly menu uses a limited amount of ingredients geared to meet a chef's particular vision. Ben Aviram, general manager of chef Curtis Stone's tasting menu-only Maude in Los Angeles, says, "There's some nature of an allergy every night, but I think we see less of it because we have less of a choice—if you're a person with allergies you have to be smart as to where to dine."
Instead, try to gauge if a restaurant will work for you by first checking out the menu online. Do a number of dishes look safe? Then you have a starting point for your order, and it's more likely that the kitchen can handle special requests. Many restaurants now mark which items have gluten, dairy, nuts or other common allergens; Stephanie Izard's Girl & The Goat in Chicago even has separate menus for each. But even being aware of ingredients helps; if something is served on a quinoa crisp, you can guess that the chef is already looking at alternatives to wheat.
Next: Speak Up and Speak Soon
Now all that said, good restaurants will work with diners, though options may be more limited, and it's best to know what those are as early as possible.
"Off the bat we ask as we take the reservation," Aviram says of Maude. "Since we're a tasting menu in a small dining room, last minute changes are hard for us. If someone down the night-of and says they're lactose intolerant or gluten-free, our pastry chef isn't able to whip up an option on the fly. If she knows in advance, she can have something ready for them."
While à la carte restaurants don't necessarily cater so personally, many appreciate knowing about preferences when a reservation is made. At Boka in Chicago, manager Matt Sherry puts in dietary requests made during reservations with notes that go directly to the server of that table, and points out that programs like Open Table offer comment sections for just that purpose.
Izard stresses calling in with an allergy first. I recently tried this out for the first time and was greeted with a, "So, you have gluten and dairy restrictions; let's talk about our menu." That one little step made dining out that much more relaxed.
At the Cafes at MoMa, Chef Lynn Bound* goes above and beyond what most restaurants do for those with allergies, making sure cooks change gloves and sanitize their stations when a serious allergy comes in on a ticket. But even she appreciates when a guest shares their needs before ordering. She was able to answer a mother's concerns about her teenage daughter coming in with friends; "She did it the right way by talking to us, and we did what we'd do for anyone else. For a teenage girl that has to be a big deal."
* Bound announced yesterday that she is stepping down from the Cafes at MoMA.
But some places don't take reservations, and others don't plug such information into their system even if they do. So if that point has past, bring up food issues first thing to your server; "The most productive way is when I go to greet a table and someone says, 'These are my dietary needs; what can I eat?'" says Jonathan Wiener, who serves at New York's Blue Smoke. "But when they've already ordered and then say, 'Make that gluten free'? Well, more often than not it's a dish that can't be modified. If they articulate their dietary needs first, I can steer them in the right direction."
Know Your Own Issues Well
In a recent Jimmy Kimmel segment, he quips that in L.A. eating gluten is "comparable to Satanism", then interviews people who claim to be on a gluten-free diet. Not one person can identify what gluten is. A biased sample on a comedy show? Sure, but it also speaks to a good point: if you really do have an allergy, be sure you know what it's about."
A waiter friend once told a story about a customer who claimed to not eat gluten and then gobbled up the bread basket and asked for more. When the waiter pointed out that bread is full of gluten, the women screamed back: "I've been allergic to gluten all my life, and so I know what it is, and bread is not gluten!" Don't be this person.
Back at the MoMa's Terrace 5, Chef Bound recently had a situation "when a woman ordered the soup and the server came to me after and said, 'she's deathly allergic to shellfish.' I told her she couldn't have it because we make it in the same kettle as lobster stock, and she responded that she never would have thought of that. If you're deathly allergic, why wouldn't you think of that? If someone's deathly allergic, we take it seriously!"
So know your allergies! When you don't, you put others at risk, as a kitchen may not respect their legitimate intolerance to certain ingredients. No one could be expected to know just how a restaurant cooks its food—that's one of the reasons we go to restaurants—but if cross-contamination is an issue for you, ask your server if there are any risks.
Be specific about how food affects you so the kitchen can keep you safe while staying on task. Aviram points out that not all kitchens have the support staff to easily accommodate any request. "When people have a strong understanding of the nature of their restriction and are honest about it, that helps. I'd rather know before someone in our kitchen spent all day preparing food for someone who's not going to go into anaphylactic shock."
At Restaurant Gwendolyn in San Antonio, Chef Michael Sohoki goes so far as to learn just how bad his guests' allergies are before meals at his tasting-menu-only restaurant. "If I'm worried about their level of sensitivity I will go to the table and ask how seriously we're talking, and I'll let them tell me how they want it to be handled. We only have ten tables, so if we can't get it right here, you can't get it right anywhere."
Then Trust Your Server
After that whole Manchego story, why trust your server? Because once you're clear about your needs, your best bet for a happy meal is to let the restaurant work for you. A good server can tell you where a restaurant can make substitutions, where they can't, and what dishes are at risk for cross-contamination.
More and more servers are trained to know the allergens on their menus, with proactive restaurants like Blue Smoke printing out a "server menu" that specifies which dishes can or cannot be modified. At Tao in Las Vegas, manager Adam Gewanter has new front of house staff members train through each station in the kitchen, "going through each food item with the chef, watching things being prepared, so that they know ingredients as much as possible." Pre-shift meetings often specify which dishes contain common allergens so the front of house staff is well versed in what they can accommodate.
And we should trust servers who take that responsibility seriously. Ben Rosenblatt also serves in Manhattan, and he knows his menu to the point that when someone orders a gluten-free bun, he's quick to point out that their fryers are shared, so sides like fries should be avoided. Weiner warns those with serious allergies that the candy sprinkles at Blue Smoke are manufactured on shared equipment. Aviram shocked me with his extensive knowledge of which fruits, vegetables, and sea creatures were in the same family (and therefore commonly grouped allergens), and is able to specify the proteins in gluten, dairy, and the like that challenge most diners.
So instead of looking at a menu, picking the dish you want, and then insisting the server and cooks modify it to your needs, try telling the server what you can't have first and then ask for their advice—chances are there's more than one option on the menu that will make you happy without driving the kitchen staff nuts.
Be Reasonable With Expectations—Every Time
Most of us assume service is service regardless of when we eat out, be it on a quiet Tuesday or a raging Saturday. But every night is a different for a restaurant, and it's a sad-but-true fact that on less busy nights you're more likely to get close attention, especially if you're asking for the kitchen to be flexible for your dietary needs.
Wiener points out that "people in Manhattan especially have entitlement when it comes to their food. One quiet day the chef told a couple, 'Yes, I will build this special meal for you because there's nobody here and you have these wants and needs.' When they come back on a packed Friday or Saturday night and want the same thing? We did something nice because we had the time. Don't expect that for every single restaurant."
If Bad Things Happen, Speak Up
Tell the restaurant. They want you to. But be smart about it.
I've never once called a restaurant after leaving ill for fear that I'm making too big a deal out of something small. And that fear isn't completely ungrounded; Rosenblatt confessed, "if I know what the menu item is and I know it has no cow's milk in it, I probably wouldn't believe it was something I served you, and I'd think you were being obnoxious."
Other servers contend that accidents happen. Human error is real and some dishes aren't 100% safe. Davis says she'll bend over backwards to make a guest happy, but that serving people with allergies sometimes gives her anxiety because she "personally can't stand in the kitchen and watch them make the food, so once I've talked to the chef and put it on the ticket it's out of my hands. I would hope that everyone understands that."
But if you've vetted the restaurant, spoken clearly about your food problems and double- or triple-asked about a dish—and then still got sick? Let the restaurant know and don't feel guilty about it. If your reaction is immediate and drastic, ask for medical help right away. But if it's mild enough that you want to wait until you're home (who doesn't want their own toilet or bed when things go down?), call up the next day and ask to speak to the manager.
Polas admits that she doesn't let staff know right away if something is wrong with her food. "They need to recognize and understand that I was frightened, that I needed to make sure I was able to get home and be okay, and then I could deal what happened. It wasn't intentional, but if they guaranteed their food to be gluten free for me, instead of never going back there I need to help them figure out what went wrong, in a non-accusatory fashion. They need to recognize and understand that we are in it together."
"Nobody wants someone getting sick; no server, cook, or front of house manager," says Boka's Sherry. "To be honest, it hurts to hear, but we need to hear it, because it's only to help get things better and prevent that from happening again in the future. Over-communicating is what we appreciate."
Gewanter suggests directly calling the manager of the restaurant, "but if you're comfortable with less confrontation, send an email and I'll follow up. Our interest is making sure that your experience is 100% of what you expected."
"We have a regular here, a woman with a very serious gluten allergy," says Chef Gavin Kaysen of New York's Cafe Boulud. "She sent me an email saying she got really sick after eating with us and that it was our fault. I promised her we didn't make her sick—I plated every dish for her—but I'd look into it and I wanted her to look into what else could have made it happen that day, so we could really figure it out. I really wanted to know. She called later to say that there was gluten as a thickening agent in her lipstick, so every time she put it on she was making herself sick. It was amazing to me the idea of gluten extending beyond food."
This doesn't mean that every restaurant is going to jump at hearing that they made you sick, but being brave (and polite!) can only help the next person eating in that restaurant stay safe.
And when everything goes well...
Thank Everyone
When a restaurant gets it right, a genuine show of thanks goes a long way. "I always make sure, when I leave a place, that I look everyone I can in the eye, thanking them for feeding me and keeping me safe," says Polas. "Whether it's the least elegant, simplest plate of food or something spectacular that I could never have made myself, the fact that they're willing to go through that effort to nourish me and allow me to go out with friends, and get what a shared meal gives us...I don't think they grasp what they're doing, and it's a gift I don't take for granted."
And if You Don't Really Have an Allergy?
Be honest with yourself and everyone else about it.
In Cincinnati, Chef Dan Wright points out a substantial difference; "Not everyone is allergic to gluten, so it annoys the shit outta me when everyone acts like they are. I have a brother in law who has Celiac disease; he's allergic to gluten. He can't have it. Then there are people that come in and don't want it because they feel fat when they eat it; just say you don't eat gluten and don't pawn it off as this life or death allergy that other people legitimately have."
"I get it, if you're allergic you want to be cautious about it," Rosenblatt says. "But if there's one thing that annoys or bothers me it's when people who don't have an allergy say they do; I can tell based on how they order. I was serving mimosas to a girl who said she was allergic to orange juice, and asked if she could have another juice instead. When I said we didn't have anything else but cranberry, she said, 'Well, you can put a little orange juice in.'"
"I live in L.A." says Davis. "Of course I suspect people of lying. There is always some new cleanse people are on or weight loss trend people jump into."
If one of these stories sounds like you, be upfront about what you really can or can't eat. Don't make a cook's life harder than it has to be, only to have a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast the next morning.
And for the Restaurants Out There...
We recognize the professionals we've spoken with take their jobs seriously. Not all restaurants are so dedicated, and super-casual restaurants may not be sensitive to your needs.
Kaysen recently confessed to me that he has Celiac disease, which gives him great insight into dealing with others' allergies:
Allergies are not going to go away. Even if it's a "fad," it's not going to go away, because people who do have allergies or a disease will still need to have alternatives, and I think it's an opportunity for us. I had a great meal at Betony where Bryce [Shuman] asked if he could cook for us, and he didn't skip a beat when I mentioned that everything had to be gluten-free for me. At the Four Seasons I can get gluten-free English muffins for Eggs Benedict, and I love that, because at most hotels you can't get anything. That should happen more often, but not just in fine or "middle" class dining. I think everyone needs to jump on the bandwagon a little bit. It's not going anywhere.
Bound seconds that; "It's easy to cook things with cream and butter and make the usual dishes, but you should want to challenge yourself to meet where we are as a society."
What can we as diners do? Be smart, be vocal, be kind, and don't muddy the waters. The same goes for restaurants.

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- Showtime kicked off its portion of the TCA Summer Press Tour with a slew of announcements, including a swan song for "The Big C" billed as "a special limited run series consisting of four one-hour installments." David Nevins, President of Entertainment, touted that the show "has always required a delicate touch and I can't think of three more talented and skillful people than Darlene Hunt, Jenny Bicks and the brilliant Laura Linney to handle this tricky subject matter."
Other notes from Nevins's executive session:
-- "Close Up," a new series of documentary films, will roll out next year. First up is "The World According to Dick Cheney" from R.J. Cutler, followed by efforts on Marion "Suge" Knight, Richard Pryor (by Marina Zenovich) and Tommy Mottola (by Brett Ratner).
-- Oliver Stone's long-in-the-works 10-part series "Untold History of the United States," narrated by Stone himself, will premiere November 12.
-- "Inside Comedy" will return for a second season of 10 episodes this fall. Among the new participants: Ben Stiller, Tina Fey, Judd Apatow, Carol Burnett, Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Albert Brooks and "a couple of more very big names that we're hoping to lock in in the next couple of weeks."
-- "Larry Wilmore's Race, Religion & Sex," a backdoor pilot comedy special, will premiere August 25. Said effort will be shot in Salt Lake City "in front of a live local audience with taped comedy bits."
-- New dramas "Masters of Sex" and "Ray Donovan" will debut in 2013.

Eight Great Bowls of Ramen to Slurp in Tokyo
I once read that there are over 20,000 ramen restaurants in Tokyo. That's a lot of noodle slurping for one city. We're talking about dedicated ramen shops, with primary focus on just one food item, like many restaurants in Japan. When you go to a ramen shop, you get in line, order, eat while the soup is hot and before the noodles get soft, and get out. No cocktails, no lounging about with your friends, no lingering. A recommended seven minutes to finish your ramen, then hit the road. (Yes, I'm a bit bitter about the two-hour wait at Ippudo that prevented me from trying the ramen during a recent trip to New York City.)
Furthering my love of ramen in Japan, many of these restaurants specialize in just one type of broth. For example, some serve only tonkotsu (like liquid bacon, made with pork bone broth), while some serve only shoyu (soy sauce based, typically made from chicken bones and using wavy noodles, and my personal favorite). Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised to find an old-fashioned niboshi broth, made from dried baby sardines (see more about broths and flavorings in our ramen style guide).
With so many quality restaurants serving ramen at reasonable prices (you'll rarely pay more than $10 for a bowl), it's tempting to travel throughout Tokyo tasting bowls of noodles. For me, stomach space and concerns about cholesterol become the biggest obstacles. After sampling my fair share over the years, I present eight of my favorite ramen bowls to try in Tokyo in the slideshow.

Following Variety's story early this morning that Zack Snyder, the man behind such films as The Dawn of the Dead and 300, has signed a deal with EA to make three games, comes the official announcement. Filmmaker Snyder, whose latest project is the movie adaptation of Watchmen, will be working with EA Los Angeles, the same studio which worked with Steven Spielberg on Boom Blox. Under the agreement with Cruel & Unusual Film, EA will own the rights to the games which they will develop, publish and distribute worldwide. EA and Snyder will also work to "extend the game franchises into theatrical motion pictures.""I think video games are cool because they offer an opportunity to tell a story in an entirely unique way, said Zack Snyder. "Being a long time fan of the games EA creates, I look forward to collaborating with them." Frank Gibeau, President of EA Games Label said, "Zack Snyder has a fresh and bold creative style that resonates with our core audience. Zack is the perfect partner for joining us in creating powerful new interactive fiction."
More from Kotaku
With the quality of his movies he should have started in games. 300 was a turd, a well polished turd, but a turd none the less.
I see epic fail in his future.
