KEN SWARNER: BEAT IT WHEAT >>>
It’s all the rage to have a food allergy.
Maybe not, but if it were a fad, allergies are big right now. Restaurant servers, flight attendants, even your mom know all about the ingredients in their foods, and they don’t blink an eye anymore when the subject comes up from the public. They stand ready with alternatives, warnings and a little sympathy â€" arranging alternative dishes and substitutions.
Top bad boys: Eggs, soy, milk, corn, nuts and gluten.
These foods create havoc in some folks’ systems. Like spooning sugar into a car’s gas tank, these basic ingredients cause system failure â€" in humans everything from hives to asthma to even death.
It sucks to be allergic to gluten. Next to corn, gluten resides in a ton of popular dishes and products â€" everything from pizza to doughnuts (you know, the good stuff). Found in wheat, rye and barley, gluten causes serious health problems in people â€" and finding alternatives hasn’t, in the past, proven easy.
But that is changing.

PAUL SCHRAG: GOVERNMENT HAS A TENDENCY TO TURN ON IMMIGRANTS DURING TOUGH TIMES >>>
Ronald Magden isn’t so sure we’ve turned the corner when it comes to racism and what amounts to terrible treatment of immigrants in America. Those were among topics at a recent panel discussion about Japanese-American internment camps at the University of Puget Sound, where Magden was accompanied by author David Patneaude, and author and former internment camp prisoner Hiroshi Kashiwagi.
“Talking about this is difficult,†Kashiwagi told the audience, who packed the Wheelock Student Center Rotunda during the second week of March.

ANNOUNCER: Venturing to Federal Way can feel like taking a trip to another country â€" if that country is one long seemingly endless strip mall of ethnic restaurants and stores. Though it may feel like you need it, there’s no passport required to stop in and experience any of the many, many dining establishments that line Pacific Highway and the arterial streets. Sizzle. Hiss. Pop. Fry. Scrape. Chop. Flip. Such is the way of Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill.
JASON: Contrary to what must be a common and mistaken belief Genghis Khan, most people do not know what they want to order before they sit down at the table. Let me sit down and look at the menu before insisting I order. Go away for a while. Please.
JAKE: Shhhhhh, you are going to get our food spit in or worse!
ANNOUNCER: Read more of this riveting exchange, and how the food actually tastes, on the Weekly Volcano Web site.

JESSICA COREY-BUTLER: FEMINIST ART HITS THE GALLERY AT TCC >>>
The word “feminist†might conjure up different images for different people. Some might visualize bra burning. Others might immediately conjure up the sight of Gloria Steinem and others of her ilk. Still others might imagine the different joys â€" and burdens â€" of being a woman in today’s society, defined by gender roles and rules.
The Gallery at Tacoma Community College explores many of these images, and more, in its upcoming show, Feminist Art Exhibition, which holds its artists’ reception tonight (March 12).
Read what I saw on the Weekly Volcano Web site.

Obama signs the bill nobody likes including Obama, it seems.
Iraqi man who threw shoe at Dubya is sentenced to prison. Imagine what would have happened to the Iraqi if he threw a hunk of glacial ice at Bush, which would be appropriate due to all the brutal enviro rollbacks. But Bobble Tiki regresses.

STEPH DEROSA: BAR EXAM >>>
My favorite part of Nisqually Bar & Grill, besides the yummy food and extremely cold beer, is the outside seating. For the love of all things biker (their primary crowd), Nisqually Bar & Grill has developed a covered smoking area. It is cleverly named the “Butt Hutâ€.
Butt Hut. C’mon, you know it’s funny. I sure think so.

LAUREN NAPIER: EXTEMPORANEOUS EXPERIMENTALISM >>>
Sparsely placed vocals. Heavy on the bass. Inspired by creativity. That would sum up CJ Boyd: a solo artist with an emphasis on extemporaneous experimentalism within his songs. When asked, CJ Boyd provides a long list of influences that includes both the musical and the non musical, like Jean Luc Godard, Thelonious Monk, and Harpo Marx. Boyd describes his songs as “largely improvised … the order, exact temp, and all the details of the song are left to the moment†making the live show unpredictable in its melodies and idiosyncrasies. He might even play his current favorite song, “We Know Time,†which meshes different time signatures “until it almost isn’t in any time.†You’ll be surprised.
Boyd will play Sizizis 24hr Coffe Shop in Olympia tonight, and then make his way to Tacoma for a show at The New Frontier on Saturday.
[Sizizis 24hr Coffee Shop, with Derek M Johnson, Margaret Rhodes, Thursday, March 12, 8 p.m., all ages, donations, 704 Fourth Ave., Olympia, 360.236.9988]
