@IsaacMoses how finalized is the current welcome message in the new user greeting sidebar box?

@IsaacMoses sure. it looks good to me. I was just checking if you planned to change the wording of it after graduation. there may be some design elements in the welcome box
I am working this summer on a Conservative summer program as a staff member. I discussed with the employer issues of me being orthodox (such as egalitarian davening) and we worked out a lot of these problems. Are there any other issues that I should be concerned with? How should I deal with them?
@msh210 "It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form."? Anyone? (Pinging @DoubleAA just because you're in the room.)
According to halakha, where is the international date line?
More specifically, I have heard that some people say you should observe Shabbat on Sunday in Japan & New Zealand and/or on Friday in Hawaii. Should I worry about this if I go to these places?

Produce grown in Israel is subject to many additional agricultural laws (shemita, terumah, maaser, etc.). Thus occasionally there are alerts about bell peppers, etc. for sale in American supermarkets which are product of Israel and have special halachot regarding how they should be treated.

What issues are there (either potential or inherent) in cooking meat dishes and milk dishes at the same time on the same stovetop (not in the same pot)?

@DoubleAA Good point. I've always thought any such question should indicate why the asker thinks there may be issues. In any event, this question (about camp) is I think even more ambiguous than the others in that it doesn't include any details about the camp. E.g., do they go on long walks on Shabas? Then he'll need to bring up eruve t'chumin. Etc., etc. Without details of how the camp is run, it's hard to answer. Cooking meat and milk on a stove, OTOH, is general: people know how it works.
@msh210 I'm commenting to that effect on the question now.
