Rutledge solves the halal food shortage by participating in My Diet, a program that buys food wholesale and then resells it at bargain prices. People can buy a generic box, but the real attraction is all the specialty boxes designed for health and religious themes. Most popular among Syrians is the Halal Box. It contains Zabihah meat, poultry, or seafood (frozen or canned in water); halal deli meat or jerky; Zabihah pizza, lasagna, or other frozen dish; halal soup, spaghetti sauce, or other canned goods; fresh vegetables and fruits; canned vegetables and fruits in water; dried beans and peas; brown rice, cornmeal, and whole-grain flour; bulgur, semolina, or farina; pasta made from whole grains or legumes; oatmeal and whole-multigrain hot cereals; cold breakfast cereal from whole grains; nuts, seeds, peanut butter or other nut butters; dried dates, pressed date brick, date paste, or date syrup; fruit juice or nonalcoholic celebratory beverages; tea or coffee; milk, butter, and dairy products (cheese, ice cream, labneh, yogurt, etc.) made with bacterial culture or microbial enzymes such as microbial rennet; whole-multigrain bread or pita rounds; eggs; popcorn; halal mayonnaise, olive oil, vegetable oil, coconut milk, salad dressing, hummus, or spices; powdered vanilla; honey, sugar, syrup, or chocolate liquor (roasted ground cocoa bean syrup); gel or pudding desserts made with agar and/or carageenan. It avoids haram ingredients including alcohol, extracts such as vanilla that are preserved in alcohol, dairy or nondairy products (cheese, yogurt, ice cream, frozen tofu desserts, etc.) made with animal rennet, gelatin, lipase, pepsin, pure or artificial vanilla extract, or whey; gelatin, L-cysteine, lard or other animal shortening, margarines which contain monoglycerides or diglycerides from an animal source, meat or poultry not slaughtered according to Islamic dietary law, pork products, and sodium stearoyllactylate. My Diet also offers diabetic, low-fat/low-cholesterol, low-carbohydrate, low-protein, low-salt, hypoallergenic/additive-free, gluten-free, easily digestible, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, organic/non-GMO, kosher, and other specialties.
Wudumate is a bathroom fixture designed for ritual washing. It comes in various commercial and private formats. The Muslim community in Rutledge uses zakat to help fund renovations in homes and businesses so that people don't have to try washing their feet in a hand sink. They also cover adding a shower hose beside toilets, which works both for toileting hygiene and for wudu.
Syrian cheeses include tresse and shanklish.

Peg solitaire (or Solo Noble) is a board game for one player involving movement of pegs on a board with holes. Some sets use marbles in a board with indentations. The game is known simply as Solitaire in the United Kingdom where the card games are called Patience. It is also referred to as Brainvita (especially in India).
The first evidence of the game can be traced back to the court of Louis XIV, and the specific date of 1687, with an engraving made ten years later by Claude Auguste Berey of Anne de Rohan-Chabot, Princess of Soubise, with the puzzle by her side. The August 1687 edition of the French literary magazine Mercure galant contains a description of the board, rules and sample problems. This is the first known reference to the game in print.
The standard game fills the entire board with pegs except for the central hole. The objective is, making valid moves, to empty the entire board except for a solitary peg in the central hole.
It is a great strategy game for one player where decision making strategy might be needed during the game.
Τhe size and flat pack of the game, makes it ideal for carrying with you.

Big Truck (Ben Williamson), Josie Williamson, and Posy Williamson:
They are in Stockton, California when the Tracy-Stockton Fault rips through the town at magnitude 6.5 with intensity VIII. The shaking lasts for 35 seconds. Their old apartment building collapses under the stress. They and their neighbors manage to salvage some of their belongings, but not a lot -- mostly clothes, photo albums, and important paperwork. Big Truck crams survivors into his semitruck then teleports truck and all to an emergency station in Hawthorne, Nevada. From there, he later teleports 100 people in the trailer plus 12 pregnant people in the sleeper to Rutledge, Vermont on Thursday, June 2, 2016.
6.0 – 6.9 about 130 VII – IX strong – damage variable depending on building construction and substrate
VII. Damage negligible in buildings of good design and construction; slight to moderate in well-built ordinary structures; considerable damage in poorly built or badly designed structures; some chimneys broken.
VIII. Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable damage in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse. Damage great in poorly built structures. Fall of chimneys, factory stacks, columns, monuments, walls. Heavy furniture overturned.
IX. Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations.
Terramagne-America has plenty of allergy-friendly survival food bars. These are free from the top 8 allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheats and soybeans) plus nightshades. They are HKV (Halal-Kosher-Vegan) certified as this avoids many religious, philosophical, and physical dietary restrictions about animal products. In fact T-America has a supermarket chain called HKV-mart specializing in such items. The symbol has the the H, the K and the left leg of the V all merged into one like a bindrune.
EveryOne
High-calorie, hypoallergenic base ingredients include wholegrain sorghum, millet, white beans, flax seed and oil, olive oil, chia seeds, dates, and maple syrup. Like most survival bars, these only have one flavor, but the maple is very popular. Available in 400, 2400, or 3600 calorie packages. Chewy texture, non-thirst-inducing, 5-year shelf life. Due to the hypoallergenic ingredients, they are more expensive than average.

Shield-Safety 3600 Calorie Survival Food Bars

What We Like
• Won't make you thirsty
• Shortbread-like
• Contains many essential vitamins and minerals
What We Don't Like
• Slightly expensive
Mayday’s survival food bars are guaranteed to not make you thirsty and are U.S. Coast Guard-approved—meaning they contain the proper amount of vitamins and minerals, meet the criteria to be considered a survival food by the Coast Guard, and are sealed airtight so water, bacteria, oxygen, and anything else can't get inside—so you know they’re good to have on hand in an emergency.
Each bar contains 400 calories, 19 grams of fat, 51 grams of carbohydrates, and 7 grams of protein. The 5-year shelf-life will ensure you don’t have to restock too often, which is nice because this option is lightly more expensive than others. We do like that these bars taste similar to a shortbread cookie instead of having a fruity flavor like some others.

What We Like
• Six flavors
• Five-year shelf life
• Comes with a survival guide booklet
What We Don't Like
• Doesn't have a ton of protein per bar
In an emergency situation, your priority would likely be any kind of sustenance, no matter the flavor, but, with that said, having a variety of options to switch things up certainly can’t hurt! These bars offer a fun mix of flavors (cherry, blueberry, orange, tropical fruits, lemon, and raspberry) to keep you from getting too bored. They offer a 5-year shelf life and have been vacuum-packed in BPA-free packaging so you don’t have to worry about any spoilage no matter the extreme circumstance.3
Each bar contains over 400 calories, but only has 8 grams of protein, which is not optimal but acceptable. We do love that as an added bonus, the variety pack comes with a survival guide booklet.

What We Like
• Six flavors
• Five-year shelf life
• Comes with a survival guide booklet
What We Don't Like
• Doesn't have a ton of protein per bar
In an emergency situation, your priority would likely be any kind of sustenance, no matter the flavor, but, with that said, having a variety of options to switch things up certainly can’t hurt! These bars offer a fun mix of flavors (cherry, blueberry, orange, tropical fruits, lemon, and raspberry) to keep you from getting too bored. They offer a 5-year shelf life and have been vacuum-packed in BPA-free packaging so you don’t have to worry about any spoilage no matter the extreme circumstance.3
Each bar contains over 400 calories, but only has 8 grams of protein, which is not optimal but acceptable. We do love that as an added bonus, the variety pack comes with a survival guide booklet.
