Demolition Squad is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 40-payline, Net-entertainment Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol, free spin and has a maximum jackpot win of $20,000.
Demolition Squad is a high octane, gritty video slot from Net Entertainment. It's themed around the daily antics of a wrecking crew who go about their business on the reels with entertaining results. Players can expect anime style animations, loud sound effects, scatters, free spins and exploding demolition wilds.
Diggers, scaffolding and a mile high skyline surrounds the construction themed reels with a glowing logo shown above. The first thing you'll probably notice is the fast paced soundtrack which blares out as soon as the reels load which we personally feel matches the theme perfectly (if it's not to your liking you can mute it below the reels).
The reels tell a story of the daily antics of a wrecking crew. These include an eclectic mix of anime style characters such as a welder, awe wielding laborer, a purple haired sledgehammer swinging lady, a crane operator and a robot sentry (similar to the one which whooped Will Smith's butt in iRobot). Other icons have been given a steel complexion to match the working theme and include 10, J, Q, K and A designs.
The control panel uses Net Ent's familiar green and silver color palette with buttons styled to look like an industrial machine. You can change coin values and the number of coins per line between a 0.40 and £/€/$200 betting range.
There are two wilds to look out for, both of which can substitute for any other graphic except the skull and crossbones scatter. The first is marked 'wild' and behaves in the usual way.
The second wild feature must be activated by a pair of demolition wilds. These will explode any icon into a wild whenever a two demolition wilds appear with a gap between. Whichever icon explodes also causes an animated sequence of their character flying across the screen (our video shows the dude on a mini digger).
Greater than three scatters will award free spins with x3 multipliers. You'll win 10 free spins with 3 scatters, 20 free spins with 4 and 50 free spins with 5 scatters. These free spins begin straight away on an orange set of reels with a different background. All wins are counted up and added to your casino balance at the end of the round.
This is a whacky and wild slot and one which anime fans will appreciate. The designers have done an awesome job with the graphics and animations which fly in from all directions during free spins and winning combinations. So if you fancy blowing something up visit any of the below casinos today.

After reading the last review from Dec 31st at 11:23 pm (NEW YEARS EVE) i was thinking... it has to be someone bitter , alone or with bad intentions to take the time to write this horrible review half an hour before receiving the new year !! So yesterday i give it a try...
Well.. I had fun!! The food was decent.. the service wasn't the greatest but very friendly and it is true that the staff speak poor English..
The place is very lay back and relax so i didn't inspect a 5 star service from the time i have arrived...
Over all rating for relax and lay back place service and food...4stars.!
Hope is Helpful :)
ps: The blacken Mahi sandwich was very nice...
I've been going to this place for like 20 years. Decided to come by with some friends. Seemed like the whole staff were shaved head thugs with attitudes. I am cuban and they could not speak english and very lazy spanish. I think someone bought this place and put their whole reluctant family to work. They were in the weeds with 4 tables and cleaning the glass on the french doors was more important then tending the clients. Food was horrible. They cut the sizes in half and doubled the prices. The new owners bought a restaurant that was steady with regulars and thought tat was enough to be successful, boy are they wrong. I was in the service industry for half my life and even with sub-standard service I leave tip. For the first time in my life I left a dollar a person because service was so horrible ad hostile. Will never be back.
The place is a dump. My family went there on a saturday night. The smell of diesel fuel wafted in the air. The restaurant was giant and empty. Also, the entrees were in the $27 range. We got there and immediately left. I would not recommend going there.

Say whatever you want about the Dodgers, but at the very least they will have Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley together at the top of the rotation for at least four more seasons. The Dodgers are close to signing Billingsley to a three-year contract extension, according to several sources. The deal was first reported by Joe McDonnell of Fox Sports Radio (hat tip to Roberto Baly of Vin Scully is My Homeboy for the link).
The deal would cover 2012-2014, buying out Billingsley's final year of arbitration, plus two years of free agency, per Tony Jackson of ESPN LA. In addition, there could be an option for a potential third year of free agency, in 2015. Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times says the total value of the deal, including the option buyout, is between $35-36 million, and that the value of the option is still being negotiated.
That value fits in nicely with the Ricky Nolasco three-year contract signed this winter. Back in December I advocated the Dodgers use Nolasco's deal as a template for a potential Billingsley deal since they were on the same salary growth path. However, that was before Billingsley signed a one-year deal for $6.275 million for 2011, avoiding arbitration. Here's a comparison of salaries between the two pitchers over the last few years, including my guess as to the breakdown of Billingsley's deal:
Year |
Nolasco | Billingsley |
Arb | $3.8m | $3.85m |
Arb | $6m | $6.275m |
Arb | $9.5m | $9.5m |
FA | $11m | $12m |
$13.5m |
FA | --- | $1m buyout |
The final two years of Nolasco's deal, covering one arbitration year and one year of free agency, pay a total of $20.5 million. Add in a slight bump for Billingsley for those two seasons, and there's the framework for a deal.
Frankly, this is great news for the Dodgers. The only multi-year deals given in the past few years to the core of players have been two-year deals to Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, and Jonathan Broxton, but none of those deals bought out any free agency years. For Billingsley, he gets the financial security of a multi-year deal, and he still gets to be a free agent at age 30 or 31.
Tonight's Game
The Dodgers host the first leg of the two-game Freeway Series with the Angels. Ted Lilly will make his final spring start, and will be followed by Jonathan Broxton, Matt Guerrier, Hong-Chih Kuo, Mike MacDougal and Kenley Jansen.
Ervin Santana starts for the Angels. Fernando Rodney and Jason Bulger are also scheduled to pitch for the Angels.

Omaha is in the minority among the largest cities in the country by not having anti-discrimination protections in place for homosexuals.
As City Councilman Ben Gray proposes a local ordinance to establish that protection, a look at how the issue has resonated across the country shows that Omaha would be joining the trend.
Among the 50 largest cities in the nation, Omaha is one of 15 whose gay residents have no specific legal protection from discrimination.
Although such gay rights measures have been criticized as radical, the growing list of cities putting legal protections in place indicates that the issue has become more mainstream nationally.
In the past two years, at least 35 cities and counties in the United States of all sizes have passed anti-discrimination ordinances based on both sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the Human Rights Campaign, a national organization that promotes such measures.
In the country's largest cities, all but a handful have ordinances that take the extra step of covering transgendered people, as Gray is proposing.
Research shows that such laws have had a relatively modest impact.
Gray's measure is now before the Omaha City Council, which over the coming weeks will debate its necessity, its importance to Omaha's gay and transgender population and its impact on local businesses.
Proponents say it's time for Omaha to show that it welcomes gay and transgendered people.
"There is clearly a national trend that we would be participating in if we did this," said the Rev. Scott Jones, senior minister at First Central Congregational Church and a homosexual who supports Gray's ordinance. "We would not be doing something new or unique or different or on our own."
Gray's proposal, a version of which was turned down by the council in 2010, would outlaw discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, adding to an existing city code banning discrimination.
While providing a religious exemption, the ordinance would apply to Omaha's employers, employment agencies, job training programs, labor organizations, places of public accommodation and businesses that sign contracts with the city.
Gray said the growing support around the country for such anti-discrimination measures is "a clear indication that something is wrong and something needs to be fixed."
"I think the time has come for it," he said.
Twenty-one of the nation's 50 largest cities are covered by state bans on discriminating against gays, and 17 of those cities also have local ordinances. Another 14 cities have a local ordinance but no state law.
Most of the remaining 15 cities have tried to address the issue in some formal way:
>> Nashville passed a nondiscrimination ordinance last year, only to have the Tennessee Legislature ban such protections. A bill proposed in Nebraska by Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha also would ban such ordinances.
>> Raleigh, N.C., and Phoenix have anti-discrimination ordinances that deal with city contractors and gay city employees.
>> Virginia Beach, Va., Charlotte, N.C., Oklahoma City and Tulsa have city policies meant to protect city employees.
The debate over a full nondiscrimination ordinance is resurfacing in Wichita, Kan., and Houston, where gay rights groups are pushing for such protections.
Wichita approved an ordinance in 1977, but local voters overturned the ban. Houston, which has a lesbian mayor, has an ordinance covering city employees, but local activists want to expand that through a public charter vote.
Omaha has taken some smaller steps, too.
Without expressly mentioning sexual orientation or gender identity, the City Council approved a nonbinding resolution earlier this month supporting inclusive workplaces. Critics of Gray's proposal suggested it as an alternative to his ordinance.
In 2010, Mayor Jim Suttle issued an executive order expressing zero tolerance for discrimination against anyone. He included sexual orientation in that order, which city departments are expected to fulfill.
Councilwoman Jean Stothert, who questions the need for an ordinance, acknowledged the changes in other cities and said the local debate has been difficult. But Stothert, who co-sponsored the council's inclusive workplace resolution, said the council needs to decide what's right for Omaha.
"I really question if this ordinance is going to make any difference in what they perceive the problem is," she said.
Critics worry that Omaha's ordinance would let loose a flood of complaints and place a burden on employers.
But according to several research reports, that has not happened elsewhere:
>> This month, a report on contractor requirements from the Williams Institute, a University of California-Los Angeles research group that studies gay and transgender issues, concluded that government contractors offered little or no resistance to adopting new employment policies. "It's business as usual after a locality has decided to add these protections for LBGT people," one researcher wrote.
>> A 2002 federal report on state discrimination bans found "relatively few" complaints based on sexual orientation. Overall, less than 2 percent of all complaints were related to sexual orientation in the 12 states analyzed at the time.
>> A 2011 report from the Iowa Civil Rights Commission said that the state had 270 sexual orientation and gender identity complaints between 2007 and 2011. The proportion of sexual orientation and gender identity complaints to other complaints was in line with what the earlier federal study found.
Rhodes Perry, national policy director for Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, said the organization is excited that Omaha is considering an ordinance. He said it would be a "huge victory" for Nebraska to have its first ordinance in place.
Nationally, an estimated 44 percent of the population is covered by anti-discrimination laws that deal with both sexual orientation and gender identity.
Perry said his organization will keep working on the issue until a federal law is passed.
"We're slowly kind of chipping away."

Claim: An American film crew coming back from break found their intentionally garbage-strewn street had been cleaned by Toronto sanitation workers during the few minutes they'd been away.
Origins: Through numerous mangled retellings, this anecdote has become the ultimate "Canada is so clean!" tale. If the incident ever played out in real life, all indicators point to it happening during a shoot for television's Night Heat, and not to any of the various film companies shooting in Toronto which have since claimed it. Whether or not to believe the legend remains an open question. Two unrelated people who worked on Night Heat have shared assurances that the story is true. On the other hand, even allowing for an unusually bone-headed City of Toronto sanitation crew that couldn't tell the difference between a dressed set and how the street typically looks, one has to wonder what happened to the show's security people during the lunch break when the area was supposedly swept clean. Hot sets aren't just left sitting there, not even for a moment, because the chance is too great someone passing by will help himself to a souvenir. Even if everything of value is locked up (cameras and other assorted equipment), the loss of even a small item off the set can cause untold continuity problems for the shoot. (A chair can't be in one shot but be missing in the next, in other words.) For this story to be true, the set would have had to have been left completely deserted, a condition that would be unheard of. The earliest reporting of the legend comes from a 1985 newspaper article:
Urban garbage seems to be everywhere, except when you really need It.
People connected to the show have explained this happened over the lunch break (not the much shorter coffee break).
Director Sonny Grosso, in town to film episodes of CBS' Night Heat, ordered a massive pile of garbage to make Toronto look more like New York. But when the film crew came back from a coffee break, they found the trash had been cleaned up. Filming had to be halted while Grosso ordered more garbage. The incident was reported in the American magazine This World, and a delighted city works commissioner Ray Bremner proudly showed off copies to aldermen at a recent meeting. Another sighting from later that year:
That it [Toronto] is clean was evident earlier this year when Sonny Grosso, the director of a movie being filmed here, ordered up a pile of garbage to make a street scene look more like
Notice that this second newspaper appears to be the vector by which this story mutated from "it happened during the filming of the TV show Night Heat" to "it happened during the filming of some unnamed movie." Within a scant three years of the real incident, we see the movie variation being told as a "favorite Hollywood North" tale in yet another major paper:
The often large task for movie production designers attempting to tranform Toronto's calm, squeaky clean streets into a convincing semblance of the bustling, grungy inner core of modern-day American cities is to find ways to simulate the grime, graffiti and garbage so that they have that authentic, rundown look of years of neglect and decay. The favorite "Hollywood North" story told here is about the film crew that carefully strewed litter and garbage bags along the sidewalks to give the appearance of Manhattan, broke for lunch, and returned to the set an hour later to discover that the ever-vigilant city public works crews had whisked the debris away, not realizing a movie was being filmed.
Ain't it fun watching one of these things grow?

[The Star-Ledger] For some Christian denominations, a cross of ash on the forehead for the first day of Lent is supposed to represent mortality, and a fleeting period of time on the Earth.
But not every Christian sets aside the time for a church service in the middle of a busy work week.
So instead of waiting in churches for parishioners who might never come, some clergy are going to the people — to the bus stops and coffee shops. They call it "Ashes to Go," and it's a way to reach out to the people where they are on this Christian holiday.
"People are busy – we understand," said the Rev. Adele Hatfield, of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Mountain Lakes. "We're not trying to beat up on them."
Once again the Episcopal Diocese of Newark will offer daily meditations during the season of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Each day you will receive a scripture reading, a reflection on that reading and a short prayer.
Yesterday I arrived in Monrovia, Liberia. I am here as chair of the Liberian Covenant Committee of the Episcopal Church. There are five covenant relationships in the Episcopal Church – Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Central America and Liberia. Liberia is the oldest, dating back to shortly after the country was founded by free American slaves in 1822.
For over 100 years, Holy Trinity Church in West Orange has lived into the call of serving their community. This strong tradition is manifested today in ministries that tend to those less fortunate in and around West Orange. Holy Trinity runs both a food pantry and a thrift shop to help their neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet. Christine's Kitchen provides free hot lunches each week for 75 -100 guests. Holy Trinity coordinates these efforts and welcomes the assistance of a diverse group of faith communities from the surrounding area.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Opening Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy It was an extensive hearing lasting several hours and contained comprehensive testimony from a variety of witnesses. It was a productive hearing. I hope it will prove useful to the Committee in moving this legislation forward today. I also thank the Chairman for not pressing ahead with a markup earlier this week but working with me to maintain our normal schedule. We have had the printed bill since last Thursday. Before the bill's introduction, the Chairman had included in the Congressional Record earlier working drafts, as well. We have worked cooperatively and persistently on this issue for the last several years to produce a bill that will fairly and equitably compensate victims for their asbestos exposure. That work accelerated toward the end of last year and since the Chairman's designation. Through our negotiations, we were able to make significant improvements to this bipartisan legislation. I remain committed to enacting legislation that, first and foremost, compensates victims harmed by exposure to asbestos for their illnesses. Among the many improvements we have made, the legislation provides higher compensation awards for victims and provides medical monitoring for all unimpaired asbestos victims. The FAIR Act will also provide medical screening for high-risk workers. I thank all the bill's sponsors and supporters for accepting these improvements. The bill will also ensure that awards under the trust fund will not be subject to subrogation by insurance companies, and we made changes that will allow the fund to get up and running quickly so that it can fulfill its intended purpose: compensating victims. I commend all the bill's sponsors and supporters for accepting these improvements. This bill marks a significant improvement over similar efforts in past Congresses. We have traveled a long road from the early days of bills that provided no funding but would have imposed restrictive medical criteria. We have increased the resources devoted to providing fair compensation from last year's $108 billion to $140 billion. I helped create the fund for 9/11 victims. I have been honored to secure funding and assistance for our nation's crime victims. Along with many Members of this Committee, I have devoted significant efforts to victims of tragedy, disaster and disease. I am pleased to join with Chairman Specter in this important effort to provide fair compensation to asbestos victims. We have made progress on this legislation. I look forward to our moving this legislation forward in this Congress. |

The Asheville Downtown Commission voted 7-3 in favor of the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church's plans to demolish a 10,000-square-foot building built in 1915 at 40 S. Spruce St. and a 15,000-square-foot building built in 1920 at 51. S. Market St. The three-story brick structures housed the operations of Asheville Supply & Foundry until about 1950. The area, which includes Eagle Street and the landmark YMI Cultural Center, is known as The Block.
The area has been the target of redevelopment efforts for 20 years. But while downtown development has boomed over the past two decades, there's been little development progress on The Block. The church's efforts to redevelop the buildings have also never come to fruition. Roy Harris, chairman of the church's trustees, said the buildings have become a financial drain. Homeless people have moved in and trashed the interior, Harris said, and the expense of maintenance and property taxes on the empty buildings has grown too large for the church to bear.
The church's demolitions plans came as a surprise to the downtown advisory board, which put off making a decision in the hope of finding a way to save the buildings, which have some historical value and remain in good shape. City officials offered to help the church seek tax relief, and offered to lease space from the church for parking. The city said the church pays $13,386 in annual property taxes, and said the church would earn $13,200 a year by leasing 22 parking spaces at $50 per space per month.
Mount Zion's pastor and president, the Rev. John Grant, wrote to city planner Judy Daniel in a July 9 letter that the church was interested in renting 22 existing parking spaces to the city, and was interested in discussing options on how to save a third church-owned building in the old foundry complex at 35 Eagle St. But Grant, without further explanation, wrote that he wasn't interested in further negotiations regarding the Spruce and Market streets properties.
Jan Davis, a commission member and Asheville City Council member, said, "I think we as a body have done everything we can do," and made the motion to allow the demolition.
Commission member Harry Weiss said he understood the church's reasons for demolition, but opposed the plan.
"I understand why it's occurring, but I can't support it," Weiss said. "I want to go on record as saying this is a bad option. It's lousy all the way around."
After the meeting, Harris said demolition may not start for several weeks. The church has to complete a vacation bible school and be sure its timetable fits with the schedule of the demolition crew it plans to hire.

Dallas, Texas Executive Headhunting and Search Executives
Howdy partner, welcome to Dallas, Texas; the "Big D." While you're here, remember Dallas' slogan, "Live Large. Think Big."
Over the last few decades, many businesses have moved their headquarters to the Dallas/ Fort Worth area for the city's location as well as its low real estate prices (it's cheaper and more convenient for businesses to open giant headquarter buildings in Dallas than, for example, New York or San Francisco). Dallas – one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas – is the ninth largest city in the nation, with a business community to match, including world-class financial institutions, accounting firms, real estate developers and stock brokerage firms. Since it's inception, it has grown tremendously, and it has the capacity and physical room to continue to grow even more.
Recognized as the "Silicon Prairie," one of the country's high-tech hubs, Dallas has the largest concentration of workers, making computer and electronic products the largest industry in Texas. Dallas is also second in the nation for telecommunications and manufacturing, according to the city of Dallas Economic Development.
RSI, the leading Dallas Executive Staffing Firm, understands the Dallas, Texas market for executives and managers looking to be a part of the team of some of the nation's top companies. When companies come to us for executive search and executive recruitment needs in Dallas, they are generally looking for a consumer products and electronics, telecommunications, technology, manufacturing, real estate, biotechnology, finance, accounting or sales executive.
Career opportunities aside, why live in Dallas? One important factor to consider is the weather. For many people, Dallas weather is not ideal. Compared to the average US city, Dallas is hot, windy, and at times rainy. Dallas is actually one of the hottest places to live in the US. Daily Dallas temperatures are above the national average all year long, ranging from 75°F to 100°F in the summer and 35° to just 60° in the winter. National average daily temperatures are between 65° and 85° in the summer and 30° to 50° in the winter.
The average wind speed in Dallas is about 1-2 mph faster than the national average all year round. Dallas is in the upper-middle portion of Texas in the middle of flat, desert-plane, Texas valley territory. Winds sweep through the city at average speeds of up to 13 mph in the spring. Furthermore, Dallas rainfall can be somewhat erratic. Average national rainfall is about 3 inches per month. Dallas rainfall drops to about 2 inches per month in the winter and summer and spikes to about 5 inches per month in the spring and fall.
Snowfall in Dallas is very low, with about 1 inch/month in the winter. Humidity and sunshine levels are around the national average.
Weather is a deciding factor when it comes to relocating. Clearly, weather preferences vary from person to person. If these conditions sound ideal, then Dallas might be the right fit for you. If it just seems too hot, you may want to reconsider moving to Dallas.
Saddle Up for a Ride Through Dallas…
Cowboys Stadium: Sports (especially football) are a huge part of Texas culture. The Dallas Cowboys, nicknamed "America's Team," is an NFL team that plays in Arlington's Cowboys Stadium, 20 miles west of Dallas. In 2012 Forbes Magazine listed the Dallas Cowboys as the highest valued sports franchise in US history. Cowboys Stadium was completed in 2009. With 80,000 seats and standing room capacity for 20,000 more, it is the largest domed stadium in the world. Eight Sundays a year, fans come from miles away to watch Tony Romo attempt to win games.
Zero Gravity Amusement Park: Zero Gravity Thrill Amusement Park is an amusement park in Dallas, Texas designed for extreme thrill seekers. The park operates 5 "rides:" 1) Bungee Jump- a 7 story platform designed for bungee jumping; 2) Skycoaster- a 110 foot high hand gliding simulator that reaches 60 mph; 3) Ejection Seat- launches you 150 into the air at 0-70 mph in 1.2 seconds; 4) Skyscraper- a towering propeller reaching 60 mph; and 5) Nothin' But Net- a 100 foot free-fall into a net. Since the park opened in 1992 nobody has been killed at this amusement park.
Dallas Zoo: The Dallas zoo was established in 1888 and is the oldest zoo in Texas. The zoo is 106 acres in size and home to over 2000 animals and 406 different species. As of 2009 the Dallas Zoological Society manages the zoo and runs all of its operations. The Dallas zoo is divided into two sections: ZooNorth and the Wilds of Africa. ZooNorth is the original part of the zoo. Animals here include a Sumatran tiger, an Indochinese tiger, koalas, kangaroos, black rhinos, otters, and giant tortoises. The Wilds of Africa exhibit is the newer part of the zoo. Animals here include penguins, chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, crocodiles, elephants, lions, cheetahs, zebras, warthogs, and giraffes.
Victory Park: Victory Park is a developed area in downtown Dallas, surrounding the home court of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, American Airlines Center. The area, developed by Ross Perot Jr., is an "urban lifestyle destination" filled with high-end chain stores, expensive restaurants, new apartments, and enormous hotels. Some of the structures and features of Victory Park are: American Airlines Center, The W Dallas Victory Hotel, Victory Park Marketing Center, Plaza Towers, The House by Starck and Yoo, Hard Rock Cafe, and House of Blues.
Texas School Book Depository: The Book Depository building is the Mecca for conspiracy theorists. It's also the most infamous place in Dallas. On November 22, 1963 at 12:32 pm Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly assassinated president John F. Kennedy. Oswald allegedly perched himself by a sixth story window in the depository and allegedly shot three bullets at the president, who was riding down Elm Street in the back seat of an open-roofed car. To this day many people refuse to accept the Warren Commission's report the Oswald acted alone. Many believe a second gunman was stationed on the grassy knoll to the left of the depository. Since 1963 the depository's name has been changed to the Dallas County Administration Building. The sixth floor was turned into a museum and filled with assassination-related exhibits.
Reunion Tower: Reunion tower is a 561-foot observation tower in Dallas' Reunion District. The tower was built in 1978 as part of a redevelopment project near Union Station. The observation area at the top of the tower is three stories in width. The rotating top level is a fine-dining restaurant called Five Sixty. The middle floor is used for special catering events and the bottom floor is an observation deck open to the public. Reunion Tower is the 5th-tallest observation tower in the US.
Fair Park: Dallas' Fair Park was established in 1886 as an 80-acre fairground for the Dallas State Fair. In 1936 the park was used for the Texas Centennial Exposition. For the Exposition, the park was transformed into an Art Deco showcase. Over the years, the park has expanded to its currents size of 277 acres. In 1986 the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Since then, it has been restored to its 1936 glory. Some of Fair Park's attractions include the Women's Museum, Museum of the American Railroad, Tower Building, Texas Museum of Automotive History, African American Museum, Museum of Natural Science, Texas Discovery Gardens, Dallas Aquarium, Cotton Bowl stadium, and the Fair Park Music Hall.
Adolphus Hotel: "The Adolphus" is a large, elegant, upscale hotel in downtown Dallas. The Beaux Arts style building was built in 1912 and named after Adolphus Busch, founder of the Anheuser-Busch Company. The 22-story hotel, which stands 312 feet high, was the tallest building in Texas until 1922. Over the years many famous historical and political figures have stayed at the hotel including Warren G. Harding, George H.W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. In 1983 the Adolphus Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Standard on Target With Fashion Spectacular
On Aug 18, 2010, Target took over 155 rooms at The Standard Hotel in New York and turned a fashion show into a show of fashion exhibitionism.
The hotel's rooms have clear see-through glass walls, so the entire show was visible from the High Line Park below. The 66 dancers showing off Target's fall line performed a spectacular choreography in sync with flashing lights and music.
The official name of the event was Target Kaleidoscopic Fashion Spectacular. Room rates at The Standard Hotel start from $295 per night, so Target paid around $46,000 for the rooms alone. Even assuming a bulk rate along with other services rendered, it's still a lot of money.
On top of that, the cost of the program itself and the lighting arrangements will surely have been even more astronomical. Composer Sam Spiegel came up with an original score for the show which required a live 30-piece orchestra, and the dance program was handled by Los Angeles based choreographer Sir Ryan Heffington.
This show also takes hotel's penchant for see-through exhibitionism to new levels. Exactly one year ago The Standard Hotel was in hot water because people visiting or passing by in the High Line Park down below were treated to an eyeful of naked bodies clearly visible through the glass, a scene that was caught on camera and plastered all over the news.

Keychain LEGO Minifigs Hide A Bright Secret (Read: They Got LED's In Their Feet, Fool!)
These LEGO minifigs aren't just any LEGO minifigs, these 2.5" sums of beeches have keychains growing out of their domes AND A WHITE LED IN EACH FOOT. Sounds like somebody grew up under power lines. Available this fall for around $9, their torsos are sadly not interchangeable. Remember when you used to do that with your G.I. Joes? Because one time I replaced Gung Ho's torso with Lady Jaye's. It made me feel funny. Good funny. Down there. The tips of my toes, silly! Now rub them. DO IT NOW!

Technological adoption in health care
This paper addresses the impact of payment systems on the rate of technology adoption. We present a model where technological shift is driven by demand uncertainty, increased patients' benefit, financial variables, and the reimbursement system to providers. Two payment systems are studied: cost reimbursement and (two variants of) DRG. According to the system considered, adoption occurs either when patients' benefits are large enough or when the differential reimbursement across technologies offsets the cost of adoption. Cost reimbursement leads to higher adoption of the new technology if the rate of reimbursement is high relative to the margin of new vs. old technology reimbursement under DRG. Having larger patient benefits favors more adoption under the cost reimbursement payment system, provided that adoption occurs initially under both payment systems.Download Info

This ring is stunning. Very simple, classic and wowing. The diamond has an amazing sparkle and was worth looking into the four C's.I wanted to propose by the weekend so bluenile made sure it was delivered in time. I could track the ring and the service was great.
After nearly 30 years together we decided to wed. D had always known what her dream engagement ring would look like so together we set out to find it.We had never bought jewelry before and knew NOTHING about diamonds so the task of making a good judgment was daunting. Blue Niles Diamond Education pages were a godsend.We determined what we could afford to spend and with our new knowledge were able to make an informed decision.After comparing the High St and other Online Suppliers we returned to Blue Nile where we made a considerable saving in comparison to the others AND AT THE SAME TIME bought a high quality diamond. Other suppliers couldn't match the quality of the diamonds, never mind the price. As if that wasn't enough, the delivery was extraordinary. I received a phone call around midday to say it was ready for dispatch. At 8am the following morning FedEx were knocking at the door. I was astounded. The ring arrived before the email that said it was coming.
Ring looks amazing. Fantastic price and my fiancee loves it. Can't fault anything.
It was a unique proposal; her shock, the light in her eyes, the speed she snatched the ring out the box... in summary she loves it.
I had problems ordering my ring online, so rang instead. The person I spoke to was very friendly and helpful and sorted things in no time. The ring was delivered exactly as promised. My only very slight criticism is that there could be more setting designs to choose from. Having said that my finacee loves it!
The ring is absolutely perfect and exceeded my expectations. I couldn't wait to propose and my now fiancé is over the moon!

I walked into West Parish Elementary School this week, ready to serve as a guest reader on behalf of the local reading program called the First R Foundation.
On the surface, it's a program, now starting its 11th year, that promotes reading and literacy in the schools. But it also provides a powerful reminder that anyone can harness the power of language and share it with children — just by reading a book and talking to them.
It's far more than providing an entertaining 10 minutes of storytelling. It's about helping children develop their language, which seems to be increasingly difficult in the 21st century.
In this age of technology, the attention of children is often more focused on their cellphones and computers than on the allure of a book. Yet, social media and chats with their BFF cannot replace the power of face-to-face communication with an adult.
Reading to children helps them learn about language; and the more language they know, they more they will succeed in school and the workplace. Reading aloud can help narrow the divide in what one educator refers to as the "socioeconomic language acquisition gap."
But don't let that phrase daunt anyone because any child from any household — no matter what their income — can be exposed to books and the richness of language. If a parent works two jobs, find a family member or friend to help you with that task. But the message is simple — just read out loud to your children.
That's the bigger picture these days behind First R, a recognized local nonprofit that sends a number of community leaders out to the schools each month to read to kids in kindergarten and first grade across Gloucester and Rockport. The guest reader then leaves the books for the students to keep in their little classroom libraries — the First R program was launched when Gloucester's schools first made significant cuts in elementary library funding in 2003.
Pat Earle, the First R founder and still its driving force, knows firsthand how the power of language and words can transform someone's life.
Her father, Michael Kane, had to drop out of school in the sixth grade to take a job in a tack factory because of a family crisis. But on Sundays he went to the library and undertook the challenge of educating himself. That path led him away from the factory floor and into a career as a management consultant.
"My motto is: 'If you can read, you can do anything'," said Earle. "Children learn to love reading through picture books. And I thought, 'Let's start a program in which people in the community go into the class and read a book —and then give a book to the classroom.'"
This year, that will translate into 31 books a month for the various kindergarten and first-grade classrooms in the Gloucester Public Schools.
"The best part for me is when I see that the books on the shelf are dog-eared and dirty, which means they are being used and I know the program is working," said Earle.
This week, my book to read was "Scaredy-Cat, Splat," by Rob Scotton. The main character of the book series was familiar to a few of the kindergarten students; in fact, one girl eagerly asked, "Can we get 'Merry Christmas, Splat,' too?" when I told her the book I had was going to be a gift to the class.
The kindergarten pupils — in the classes of Kim LaCoste, Jaclyn Figurido and Joan Klics — were only too happy to sit and listen to the Halloween story about Splat the Cat, who is determined to be the scariest cat in his class to win the coveted trophy.
Splat was sad to discover that the other cats thought his spider costume made from stuffed socks was more funny than scary. However, when Mrs. Wimpydimple turned down the lights to tell a ghost story in the dark, something happens that causes Splat to win the prize.
For decades, research — at times controversial — has shown that student success can be related to the extent of a student's vocabulary. The late Betty Hart, a researcher and psychologist, attempted to document the importance of the role parents play in how they communicate with their young children.
In Hart's obit last October in the New York Times, reporter William Yardley referred to the results of research on the subject: "Simply in words heard, the average child on welfare was having half as much experience per hour (616 words per hour) as the average working-class child (1,251 words per hour) and less than one-third that of the average child in a professional family (2,153 words per hour)," wrote Drs. Hart and Todd Risley. "By age 4, the average child in a welfare family might have 13 million fewer words of cumulative experience than the average child in a working-class family."
The beauty of the First R program is that it allows wide access to the necessary tools to harness the power of language. Parents needn't worry if they themselves did not go to college or lack the resources to buy books. Like parents and children have done for generations, they can take advantage of their local public library and there is no shortage of elementary school teachers who allow children to take books home.
The key is to read and have simple conversations that will help children learn about language and all its diversity.
As an aside, I have to wonder if those adults who talk incessantly on their cellphone while out walking their child in a stroller realize the missed opportunity to enrich their child's vocabulary.
Reading this week to the kids at West Parish, I couldn't help but think Dr. Hart would have told them to hang up their phone.
Another tidbit I've taken to heart is that, while reading a book, you may come across a word that you think the child is not likely to know, then stop and explain that word to the child. They may not remember it right away, but they will likely come across the word again — and learning a language, whether your first language or second language, happens through repetition.
This kind of learning does not require government or school intervention, just a caring adult. And that's what the First R Foundation is all about.

When the medical team feels your child is ready to leave the hospital, they will provide guidance and direction on your child's next steps in recovery. The speech-language pathologist and other team members all have input in the therapy and discharge plan.
Discharge from the hospital may happen before your child has completed all stages of recovery, and it's important to remember that every child, injury, and situation is different.
There are many options for your child to continue to receive therapeutic services and support after your family leaves the hospital.
The following are common options after hospital discharge:
Your child may be discharged home. Rehabilitation may not be recommended, but your child should be monitored for difficulties in the future.
Once home, your child may seem back to normal physically; however, your child may still have some difficulty with communication, behavior, or thinking skills.
If your child shows any of these signs, report them to your doctor:
Notify your physician immediately if your child demonstrates any of the following behaviors:

450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on
a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar and
water. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until berries
pop, about 15 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the egg yolks, flour
and salt. Remove cranberry mixture from the heat; stir a small
amount into egg mixture. Return all to the pan, stirring constantly.
