text: I celebrated a special birthday last month at this gorgeous restaurant, the Manta and Pavilion Wine Bar. The setting of this restaurant above the beach, facing due west, offers some of the best sunsets you can imagine. It also offers a Celiac or gluten-intolerant person a wonderful variety of safe food choices, beginning with the appetizers all the way through dessert. The wait staff was totally educated on gluten-free eating and guided me through my entire meal selection without a hitch. It's always scary for me to put my life and health in the hands of a waiter or chef, but after a thorough conversation with our darling waitress, I knew I was in good hands. Just make sure to ask lots of questions and let the concierge know when you make the reservation that you are gluten-free. Another beautiful basket of warmed gluten-free bread arrived at the table, along with a wonderful tapenade that I could eat. My bowl of squash soup was perfect and I ate every drop in the bowl. My entree was truly memorable and well-suited for a birthday dinner! I ordered the short ribs with a cauliflower coulis and roasted, organic vegetables that were divine. As I savored each and every bite, I kept repeating, "I can't believe this is gluten-free!" Lucky me. In the middle of dinner, the Manta Rays stopped by for a visit. All of us dining on the patio were treated to a show with two Mantas swimming in the Bay, just below under the spotlights - they surely knew they were the main attraction! My birthday dessert was delicious - a beautiful bowl of freshly made macadamia ice cream, fresh berries and whipped cream, along with "Happy Birthday" scrolled around my plate in rich chocolate! Yum I was also treated to a plate of white-chocolate macadamia nuts that were so rich and creamy I had to stop after two. Another portion of the meal to note - The Manta and Pavilion Wine Bar had a wonderful variety of wine to taste by the ounce or glass, as well as some truly delicious Hawaiian cocktails and other adult beverages that are safe for a Celiac - so enjoy! Mahalo!

  Vegetable Glycerin also known as glycerol or “VG” for short, is a clear and odorless organic compound, made from soy, palm, or coconut oil, that has been gaining in popularity. It has a wide range of uses related to health, beauty, skin care, and even pharmaceutical uses. For these reasons, it is important to understand that as a consumer you only want to use top of the line organic Kosher USP Vegetable Glycerin. Crude Glycerin is a type of glycerin that is made as a waste product of biodiesel fuel. Glycerin made in this way is very impure and the process by which purification can take place is very lengthy and very difficult. For this reason, it is important that as a consumer you trust your source so that you know you only getting Kosher USP VG.
  All glycerin has the same chemical compound: C3H8O3. This formula contains 3 Carbon atoms, 8 Hydrogen atoms, and 3 Oxygen atoms. There is no difference in the many used terms for glycerin only the process by which it was made. We only source the highest quality Kosher USP Vegetable Glycerin. Therefor our VG is made through a process called HYDROLISIS. During this process the vegetable oil is placed under the combined forces of pressure, heat and water. The ester bonds then begin to breakdown, breaking the glycerin free from the fatty acids, allowing them to join with the water. The process continues with distillation that results in an even more pure finished product.
  VG can be used in food applications because of its mildly sweet taste. Due to its organic and very pure properties it can be used as a sugar substitute. Glycerin is also used to make a wide array of household products such as lotions, make up, hair care products etc. Glycerin is considered a humectant, meaning that it holds moisture to the skin. This acts in two ways, first leaving your skin hydrated, and secondly allowing the active ingredient in your product to be more soluble. Vegetable glycerin can also replace alcohol in herbal mixtures and tonics.
  The agreement to establish BioTox, an international cluster, was signed on May 1, 2018 in Bratislava.
  The cluster was established in order to combine the competencies of its participants to perform non-clinical studies on medical and environmental safety in accordance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (GLP OECD) and international guidelines (TG OECD, ICH), as well as to develop modern academic programs for higher professional education.
  — From Russia: Farmdolina cluster, including 6 academic institutions (M.M. Shemyakin – Yu.A. Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, G. K. Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics, Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics, Institute of Physiologically Active Substances, Institute of Medical Primatology), 2 institutions of higher education (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University) and Pushchino State Institute of Natural Sciences), 2 hospitals (Hospital of Scientific Center of RAS in Chernogolovka and Hospital of Pushchino Scientific Center of RAS) and 3 commercial companies (IL Test-Pushchino LLC, Preclinical Testing Center LLC, and ESMAR LLC).
  Carlo Scarpa (June 2, 1906–1978), was an Italian architect, influenced by the materials, landscape, and the history of Venetian culture, and Japan. Scarpa was also a glass and furniture designer of note.
  I studied a little bit of this great architect, he was known for his architectural craftmanship and immaculate attention to details. He is a true prodigy of details, reflecting intrinsic beauty of joints and connections. He is an artisan of materiality, revealing concrete and stone with perfect chamfers.His architecture is deeply sensitive to the changes of time, from seasons to history, rooted in a sensuous material imagination.
  http://www.lockergnome.com/decisions/2012/04/02/when-old-merges-with-new-the-economics-of-input-and-output/ – When a new technology seeks to replace an old technology, it’s not something that happens overnight. In fact, some technologies never really become obsolete because they get rolled into new technologies in ways that keep their use relevant. So what happens when the old merges with the new, and how do we process the changes along the way?
  http://live.pirillo.com/ – Unwanted pop-ups are annoying and hard to get rid of. Kyleboose has a problem with pop-ups: "Hi Chris, I’m having problems with pop-ups in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I just installed a new security system which has a pop-up blocker but I still get them. Do you have any recommendations or any software that could help?"
  Although pop-up blockers are nice to have, they’re really not needed, since both Firefox and Internet Explorer have built-in pop-up protection. In addition, your security suite has a pop-up blocker. So, there’s a good chance that your pop-up problem isn’t related to your browser but to your operating system. In other words: you may have a spyware problem.
  If you don’t have any anti-virus installed, we suggest trying either Nod32 or AVG Anti-virus. Chris also has some anti virus software suggestions you should check out.
  Once your anti-virus software is finished running, your next step is to run some anti-spyware software. Both Spybot S&D and Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware come highly recommended from the chat room.
  http://www.gotoassist.com/chris – Helping people is easy, but not so much when you aren’t in the same room as the other person. However, if you’re using software such as GoToAssist Express, the headaches will disappear! This allows you, as a tech support specialist, to connect to another person’s computer in a matter of moments, allowing you to quickly diagnose and repair their problems.

  http://live.pirillo.com/ – Forum software is piece of software that is installed on a web server which allows a community to interact in an organized and categorized format. Unlike blogs, forums tend to be more structured and can contain the views of multiple users rather than the maintainer of the blog. A user on the chat room wants some recommendations for forum software.

Finally, you have a very customizable account profile where you can provide pictures of yourself and add as much information about yourself as you like.
  Since its creation in 2000, phpBB has become the most widely used Open Source forum solution. Like its predecessors, phpBB 3.0 âOlympusâ has an easy to use administration panel and a user friendly installation process, which allows you to have a forum set up in minutes.
  Ponzi doesn’t really like forums as they’re not as social as a blogging network. Instead, she likes the idea of a social networking website like ThisNext:
  ThisNext is a shopcasting network where you can discover, recommend and share things you love. Everything on ThisNext is recommended by real people like you.
  What forum software do you use? Do you use forums at all or do you prefer blogs and social networks?

  http://go.tagjag.com/projeta – http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – http://facebook.com/chrispirillo – I can’t stand my iPhone – literally! It won’t stand up on its own. It’s impossible to watch any type of videos on the phone unless I hold it at a particular angle. Who wants to do that all of the time? Don’t even get me started on the fact that the sound is directed outwards instead of towards my ear. Why can’t I just have some type of case for the iPhone that will protect it, AND turn into a stand… AND direct the sound where it needs to go? http://chris.pirillo.com – http://live.pirillo.com
