Metallic-Dot T-Shirt Dress - Girls 23 23
Cute, versatile dress! Ordered this dress for my daughter last spring: going to be a great dress for school this fall with leggings and probably next spring too with shorts under. Great quality! August 21, 2014
A Big Hit! The sparkly polka dots, the comfortable shape and fabric, all have made this a joy to anticioate wearing on the first day of school! August 17, 2014
Cute dress and fabric I love the metallic dots, the blue matches my daughters eyes. She has only worn this dress a few times but has received my complements. I wish the fabric came in a women's dress. August 14, 2014
Great Dress These dresses are so cute. I previously purchased the blue dress. I just bought the next size up in the blue and pink dress. May 3, 2014
Adorable, but shrank on first (gentle cycle) wash My 5 yo wanted this dress for her birthday. I bought her the size 6 and it fit perfectly with a bit of room to grow for her party. Washed on cold/gentle cycle/no dryer. The dots didn't come off like others have said, but it was much too small to wear for picture day today. I don't usually exchanged used items, but this dress is too pricey for one wear, so calling to exchnage for an 8 right now. So its a qualified recommendation -- order, but size up! April 1, 2014
my daughter loves this dress We got it on sale in blue and it's very pretty, but perhaps a little bit short. February 18, 2014

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this research of 400 participants is to determine whether a drug called risperidone can decrease symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is a placebo-controlled study, meaning that half of the participants will be assigned to receive a pill that contains no drug. The treatment phase of the study will last for 6 months, during which time participants will continue to receive all their usual treatments in addition to the study treatment and will be asked to complete procedures and assessments (questionnaires, interviews, laboratory tests, physical exams, etc.) related to their PTSD symptoms at various points within the 6-month treatment phase. At the end of the 6-month study, participants will discontinue the study treatment.

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|CSP #504 - Risperidone Treatment for Military Service Related Chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Change in CAPS Score from Baseline to Week 24 [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1
Drug: Risperidone
atypical antipsychotic
Placebo Comparator: 2
Drug: Placebo
Detailed Description:
Primary Hypothesis: Risperidone will reduce symptoms of PTSD, relative to placebo, in veterans with military service related chronic PTSD who have been partial or non-responders to antidepressant medications.
Secondary Hypothesis: Risperidone is safe and well-tolerated in veterans with military service related chronic PTSD, and patients will comply with its prescription. As a result, patients will show improvement in the secondary consequences of PTSD for the veteran and for the VA.
Intervention: Usual (PTSD) care plus Risperidone vs usual (PTSD) care plus placebo Study Abstract: Four hundred veterans with the diagnosis of military-related PTSD will be enrolled at 20 VAMC hospitals over a two-year period. An equipoise stratification design will be used to randomize patients in a double-blind manner to risperidone or placebo (~200 patients in each group) for six months of treatment. Usual care will be provided for all patients for treatment of PTSD and other psychiatric and medical disorders. Comparisons between the risperidone and placebo groups will be made at the end of six months to answer the primary question. The sample size is calculated to give 90% power at the two-sided alpha level of 0.05 for the overall test for the CAPS score change.
STUDY UPDATE/NOTES: The study kicked-off in late July 2006 with recruitment expected to begin October 1, 2006.
Oct2006 - Participating sites are seeking approval for the protocol amendment which resulted from the Kick-Off meeting. Patient recruitment at each site will begin as soon as they receive approval of the amendment.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a major loss on Friday night when Davin Joseph was lost for the season with a torn patellar tendon that has placed him on the injured reserve list, according to Rick Stroud.
The two-time Pro Bowl guard was carted off the field against the New England Patriots after his leg was taken out by rookie defensive lineman Chandler Jones.
Joseph was supposed to be part of the best guard tandem in football after the Bucs signed Carl Nicks away from the division-rival New Orleans Saints in the offseason.
The 28-year-old leaves a gaping hole of the offensive line, perhaps to be filled in by Ted Larsen as many expect. It's the first serious injury Tampa Bay has suffered in the preseason, but a devastating one at that. With Josh Freeman looking to have a bounce-back year, this is an even tougher pill to swallow.

My message for today will answer questions. First, gardening: No garden on the west coast of the United States is completely safe from cesium. It comes in the air from the material that arises from the ocean. Concern is being downplayed due to the food industry being against public notification. Gardens without covers are all contaminated. Are you in California? Consider these options: 1. Move to another area. 2. Only eat food grown in greenhouses. 3. Eat food that was frozen before coming to your area. 4. Only consume what comes in from other areas. 5. Only eat frozen or canned fruit and vegetables.
Yes, I told you to go away from these things, however, California and Oregon and other growing areas on this coast of the US must consider cesium more caustic than canned and frozen diets. Pray over the food being eaten. Cherish it as you do what is considered sacred. Bless all who grow food in these areas, because their entire lives are about to change in more ways than one. Appropriate action is to inform the vast number of news media outlets of this dilemma, asking them to warn all who consume California produced food to stop. Are you getting the picture?
This current situation is contaminating all who grow this food and all who will consume it. It cannot be detected by the nose or other content indicators, other than cesium testing. Safety checks are needed. California growers are the greatest number being contaminated right now, but all who have gardens within a 3-mile distance from the ocean are affected. People can die from what is contained in the next growth phase of contaminated crops intended for dissemination from these areas. Are other areas affected? Only the coastal states at this time. There is no cesium in Europe right now. There was when Chernobyl contaminated all of Europe. Consumers ate it then. It caused no major death epidemics, although immune systems were severely compromised. Concentrations in California are now greater than the Chernobyl contamination because it comes in on ocean currents, not only through the air that moves without concentrating it in the jet stream. Purification of the Chernobyl disaster has not been completed, so a new round of contaminates would seriously add to this cause of cancer and other health destroying manifestations.
Now, considering all the information that I've given you regarding the fresh food diet, nothing has changed in this instruction for most of those doing this new diet. Only those things grown in California are to be avoided—wine grapes included. This year's production is not safe. Olives, dates and avocados are not considered as dangerous as other diet matter from California because those you are eating now were canned or picked before this current week of food contamination. My words are current, so don't be concerned about what was consumed last week or before. Next week could bring more contamination to the area. It comes from the ocean, and as you are aware, ocean currents can make many changes in any given day.
Fish caught in the Pacific ocean in the areas near California, Oregon, Washington and Canada are all contaminated. Avoid them for a good amount of time - one or two months at least. Then we will take another look at them before you decide how to proceed. No fish is completely free of diet disturbance content in any area other than the north and south poles. All marine life is dealing with malnutrition and drugs and oil or caustic material. Nothing is naturally abundant in health nutrients today, except a variety of naturally grown, GMO free, mature fruits and vegetables that are being grown organically.
My dear ones. Do the fresh food diet where it makes sense. Give up the concept if you are in an area where good quality food is not available. What can you choose to eat in these contaminated areas? Not fish, not fowl, not cows or other live animals. Choose what comes from other areas as much as you can. Cesium cannot be detected in what you can acquire now, but it will become a major disease creator in the months to come.
Choose Alaskan salmon, other Alaskan consumables, or Northern Canada produce. Central and South American areas like Mexico and Chili are not contaminated now, but can be when the currents draw the cesium in their direction. What to do? Get accustomed to difficult choices and cause and effect dramas. Life is not going to be the same as it used to be in any countries.
Brazil needs demands made by the international community against chopping down your air generators. Please contact all of the caring organizations and politicians in your country, and use the social networking arena to call for this plan not to occur.
I Am That I Am is the call to angels who are waiting to assist wherever they can. Call on your own inner guides to learn what you can do NOW to change the climate of apathy. Condemn those who are killing the environment. Give up your own demands for great energy usage. Teach the children to be more demanding about what can be done for their future. Join groups that are aware of the death and destruction of Mother Earth and get group actions going. Lead more awareness to the current day's mass consciousness and learn how it can be changed with even more growth in awareness. Capture the moment in dance and song. Give the control to others and die or take it back and change the direction of control to dancing and singing as One.
P.S. Regarding cording release: I have previously channeled instructions on this blog. No need to do it again. Should this be an issue for you, seek a qualified counselor who can assist.

Dining At Disney - Weighing the Pros and Cons
October 21, 2011 | Posted By: Hannah Hamilton | Categorized in: Entertainment
As anyone who has planned a Disney vacation knows, dining on Disney grounds can be expensive.
The Disney resort offers a variety of options from fine dining to all-time favorite park food as well as various types of meal plans that you can purchase along with your vacation package. If you want the ease of convenience, all you have to do is book a package that comes with a meal plan. Then, based on the allotted amount for the meal plan you picked, all you have to do is hand over the meal plan card at any Disney restaurant.
An alternative option that many families take advantage of to help stay within budget is to take eating into their one hands, be it traveling outside the resort area to go to other restaurants or packing food and bringing it into the park. If you are not yet sure which option you would like to do (or maybe you want to consider both!), read on for some things to think about to ensure your Disney vacation is a magical adventure.
Lets Talk BudgetBe sure you are very clear with yourself, and anyone else involved in the planning, what your budget is for a Disney vacation. Research the prices of everything from park admittance to hotels, and make sure to figure in projected food costs. This is particularly important if you are traveling with a family, as the cost can really add up. Being aware of exactly how much you are planning to spend will help you make informed decisions for handling mealtimes.
If you would like to go the simple route with most of your meals, and maybe splurge on a few to really create some fabulous memories, just be aware of what this will run you. For example, a sit down dinner for a family of four can be on average around $125-$150. As you can see, for many families that is a high amount to pay for every meal, even if you are just staying a day or two. The alternative is to go off site, or buy food from the local grocery store, pack up your wheeled roller and bring it to the park with you. This can be considerably easier on your budget, and the cost depends entirely on what type of food you buy.
What About The Experience?Although Disney restaurants are pricey, there is certainly something to be said for experience, particularly with the really fun events like character dining. Character dining is great for all kids and certainly adults who adore certain Disney characters. As the term suggests, with these dining experiences you get to meet various Disney characters in person, such as the Disney princesses and Mickey Mouse and his pals. Another really fun dining option is to attend dinner shows. Enjoy your delicious meal and fabulous entertainment all in one place. And remember, its never too soon to start thinking about where you want to eat because many of these special events require reservations a week to even months in advance.
Even if you dont want to take in the character dining or diner shows, a Disney-sponsored meal plan may be more convenient for you and your family instead of rolling your luggage bag all around the resort.
The Clock is TickingTime is another factor to consider when planning your meal budget. Naturally, youll be spending the majority of the day inside the park having a great time. Keep in mind that it may not be a quick jaunt out of the park to grab a bite to eat if you are planning to eat at restaurants in the surrounding area. In addition to walking back to your car, it takes about twenty to thirty minutes to leave the Disney resort area. Many visitors will bring food and drink with them into the park, which is an efficient way to reduce cost and allow more time to experience the park which is why you came to Disney in the first place! If you can afford it, it is still very nice to have at least one fabulous dining experience inside the park because its undoubtedly a part of the Disney magic.
These are the main things to keep in mind when deciding whether or not you want to dine at the Disney resort. By being aware of pricing, availability of food in the surrounding area, and the various food options available, you will be able to make a sound decision that will remove any chance of stress over money concerns and will leave you with the peace of mind to truly enjoy the way your childs face lights up when Mickey waves hello.

Edgemoor Room Names FAQ
This FAQ was originally compiled by Jason J. Cho '98 O-1512 in February 1997. Please send elucidations, corrections, or additions to the Heritage Committee.
- How did the tradition of naming rooms begin?
- Who names the rooms?
- What are the officially designated common rooms?
- How are the rooms on the second floor arranged?
- What are the names of the second floor private rooms?
- How are the rooms on the third floor arranged?
- What are the names of the third floor private rooms?
- What colloquialisms are used for other areas?
How did the tradition of naming rooms begin?
Before the advent of antibiotics, tuberculosis was common among universitarians. When one of the original members of Mug and Jug, Frederick K. "Freaky" Pearce '08, succumbed to consumption in 1924, the other Mug and Jug members dedicated the Pearce Memorial Library in his honor. However, they did not establish a physical memorial and the usage was never popularized, and by the Second World War the name was used only by the elder alumni. So it must be said that the practice of naming common rooms began in earnest when the west parlor was dedicated to the memory of Milburn A. Hollengreen, Jr. '65 in 1963.
The first recorded reference to a private room by name is in the chapter minutes of 6 February 1956, when "Brother Carson announced… that all brothers are responsible for the material on the rushing board in the South 40." It is not clear whether the reference is to that wing of the house or to the room now known as The Forty, but in either case it was the exception. Most brothers slept in the third floor dorm ("dormer") and were assigned a "study room"; no other nicknames endured until the 1970s, and as late as the early 1990s room pick lists referred simply to "Bennett's old room" or "corner room."
The general naming of private rooms did not begin until the 1980s, by which time dormer life had completed a sharp decline. Since brothers might spend two or three years living in a room, they began to build increasingly impressive lofts, bars, and other amenities, each generation trying to outdo the last. The rooms became an expression of its inhabitants' personalities, then took on personalities themselves. By the mid-1990s, when the dorm system was officially discontinued due to changes in city code, room names were the most common way to reference living quarters, and most of the remaining unnamed rooms were given one.
Who names the rooms?
Officially designated common rooms are named by joint agreement and dedication by the alumni board of directors and by the undergraduate chapter.
There is no official procedure for assigning nicknames to private rooms. Although it is presently accepted that such action would require a vote of the actives, accepted usage is the most important factor, and a sense of tradition has discouraged changes in names.
What are the officially designated common rooms?
Ronald K. Bartholomay Library
The house library was dedicated to Ronald K. Bartholomay, who was killed in an automobile accident, in 1972. A plaque to his memory hangs in the trophy case above the charter.
Milburn A. Hollengreen, Jr. Room
The west sitting room on the first floor was dedicated in memory of Milburn A. Hollengreen, Jr. Mil was killed in an automobile accident shortly after flying a group of brothers to Grand Bahama Island for Spring Break in 1963. His father, Bro. Milburn Hollengreen, Sr. donated funds to aid in the room's refurbishment.
Claude E. Mitchell Room
The east sitting room, at the purchase of the house the Music Room and occasionally the Smoking Room, was dedicated to Claude E. Mitchell '12 O-1, the first Lambda Chi Alpha to be initiated at Cornell and among our most active alumni until his death in 1966. Brother Mitchell's widow contributed to the plaque which now hangs on the west wall (moved from its spot across the wall during the 1997 renovation).
The Refectory
The refectory, usually called simply "the dining room," was built in 1958 as an addition to the house. Being located on the same level as and adjacent to the kitchen greatly simplified the serving of meals, which previously had to be sent up by dumbwaiter.
The chapter erected a plaque in the dining room to recognize Ernst J.C. Fischer '10 O-34 at Homecoming in 1977, in a ceremony presided over by former Grand High Alpha "Doc" Dirghalli. The plaque recognized Fischer's unparalleled service to Lambda Chi Alpha as a 14-year member of the Grand High Zeta and 64-year paid and volunteer worker for the General Fraternity.
How are the rooms on the second floor arranged?
Rooms are numbered starting in the southwestern corner of the main corridor and proceeding clockwise. Thus the Zoo is room 20 and the Forty is room 29.
What are the names of the second floor private rooms?
The Zoo
Room 20, "The Zoo" became such in 1980–1981 when inhabited by Mark "Mef" Fernau '82 O-1262, Mike Lennon '81 O-1245, and Stephen "Keegs" Keegan '81 O-1227. They cut the door in half, providing for a cage-like feel. Dutch door aside, it also had a reputation for raucous room parties. Previously, it had been the habitation of many a president, and was often referred to as the Executive Suite.
The Bada-bing (né Paus M)
The Bada-bing was named in 2005 in honor of resident Steven DiNardo '04, referencing his Italian extraction.
Previously it was known as Paus M, after a small metal plaque reading "PAUS M" hung above the door. Brother Paul S. Komor '82 O-1265 had made the plaque in metal shop in the days of his youth; it was a nickname of his of uncertain origin. Whether the plaque is "properly" hung upside-down or not is disputed.
No-Name (The Room With No Name)
The Room With No Name, as nearly as can be estimated, was one form of protest to the room-naming rush of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The Mess
The Mess owes its name more or less entirely to the state in which its inhabitant left it after the 1993–1994 school year.
The Saloon
The Saloon took its name from the dim lighting and shelves that formerly ran along each of the walls, filled with every imaginable form of (mostly empty) liquor bottle. The name has been retained even though the room has been radically redesigned in order to come into compliance with fire codes.
The Ritz
The Ritz originally held one of the most impressive lofts in the house, one which occupied two-thirds of the floor space. The beds were accessed from ladders behind a facade with two "windows," on the lower level was a bar. This was thought to give the room the feel of an old hotel. The loft was removed in 1994 to come into compliance with fire codes. It acquired a second meaning in 1995 with a resident's investment of considerable personal funds into its improvement.
The Bank
Unlike most room names, which were based on their inside arrangement or occupants, The Bank got its original name from required repairs to its exterior. A brother trying to break into the room to rouse its occupant destroyed the door jamb, and the hurried repairs necessary for fire inspection included a liberal application of steel wire and staples. This was felt to give it the doorway the appearance of a vault or jailhouse. In the end, the double entendre with sperm bank proved irresistible.
The Toolshed (No Name II)
This room had been variously named "The Playground," "Dead End," and "The Penthouse," none of which ever caught on. Ultimately, it became The Toolshed as the home of renowned tool Jon Emanuele '03.
The Range
The original sense of "Home on the Range," after an herb garden, was lost in the 1990s, but around the same time a broken radiator often sent temperatures into the stovetop range during winter. On its ceiling was the mural "The Ear That Speaks" painted by Tom Boorady '92 O-1461 and Paul "Skip" Dailey '90 O-1414.
The Forty
In surveying, a "forty" is 40 acres, or a fourth of a fourth of a "section" or square mile. In the house meeting minutes of 6 February 1956, the High Delta makes a reference to "material on the rushing board in the South 40" which may have referred to the southeast corridor on the second floor, but the room at the end of the hall was also known as the South 40, with the "South" falling out of use over the decades. The name does not appear to be linked to demolishing forty ryes or to its inhabitants' patronage of the North Forty, a now defunct townie tavern.
How are the rooms on the third floor arranged?
Rooms are numbered starting in the southwestern corner of the main corridor and proceeding clockwise, the Stoop being room 30 and the Dormer room 37.
What are the names of the third floor private rooms?
The Stoop
The Stoop was named in opposition to the Steppe across the hallway. It helped, of course, to stoop before getting into or out of the awkwardly lofted beds.
The Pit
The Pit most likely earned its appellation from the state of disarray it was left in by various inhabitants, particularly since it is the largest room on the third floor. It was named at least by fall of 1979.
The Shlop
The Shlop was named in protest to the decision to rename Paus-M, and is intertwined with the historic 3rd floor-2nd floor rivalry. Fed up with, as they put it, the "cult of personality" of former High Alpha Stephen DiNardo '04 and his 2nd floor minions, third floor stalwarts Christopher Corona '05 and Jason Milligan '05 spearheaded an initiative to rename this Steppe after the least active brother in all of Omicron Zeta: Ben Rosen '05, commonly referred to as Shlopo. In typical fashion, Shlopo didn't bother to show up for house meeting, but the motion still passed with one dissenting vote from House Amateur Linguist Chad Rekasie '05, who believed the name would be more aptly spelled "Schlop."
The previous name was derived from its most prominent feature: a room-sized platform which served as a waterbed frame, requiring one to literally take a step up upon entering the room. A smaller physical step remained when which was emphasized when Art Holmes '95 O-1485 and Adam Borah '94 O-1477 installed a hardwood floor the 1992–1993 school year. Both the floor and step in question were removed by the Steppe's subsequent inhabitant, Jeff "Door" Goldberg '94 O-1483, but the name was retained for several more generations.
The sNiche
Although one of the smaller rooms in the house, the Niche was as recently as 1991-1992 a triple. This was made possible by means of a high and complex loft which held three single beds, the area below being carved into a closet, three desks, a bookshelf, and a bar. Each occupant had his own niche, though this left the navigable floor space of the room to a mere sliver. The loft was removed over the summer of 1995 to come into compliance with fire codes, and since the mid-2000s has been a single known as The Sniche.
614 (Six-Fourteen)
Our chapter house until 1920 was 614 Stewart Avenue. When that building was under renovation in 1992, Stuart F. "Tripp" Miniman '95 O-1487 retrieved the discarded 614 sign and nailed it to the door of the third floor room which now bears its name. In spring of 1997 its then-inhabitant, Douglas J. West '98 O-1534, transferred the sign to the bar and attached a new one of his own design.
The Cave
The Cave suffers from being on northeastern corner of the house; what little light it receives is filtered further through its small third floor window. Furthermore, the main section of the room is separated from the rest of the floor by a hallway. Notably, Bennett H. Myers '94 O-1468 and Andrew I. Rosenberg '93 O-1470 built a loft against the eastern wall. Writes Bro. Rosenberg, "the room survived fire-coding, the room contained a loft positioned at the eastern end wall of the room. Bennett, who slept on a mattress on the floor below the loft, placed a sheet to obscure any ongoings below the loft, and his bed-area was designated as the 'Cave.' True to the description in the webpage, the long hallway leading to the main room resembled the entrance to a cavern, and thus the room's name followed suit."
The Lounge
The Lounge was formerly home to the vintage entertainment center of the third floor, complete with analog cable box, Betamax VCR, and 15-inch television. Moreover, it was a favorite room for brothers to smoke in.
What colloquialisms are used for other areas?
The Dormer (weight room)
The capacious Dorm on the third floor originally held bunks where the entire brotherhood was housed; the other upstairs rooms were used for studying only. The dorm system fell out of favor even as changes in City codes would make it a glorified storage room. The dormer (possibly a corruption of "dorm room") was converted into the chapter weight room in the fall of 1995.
The Tappe Roome (tap room, bar)
For a considerable period, the rathskeller was referred to as the tap room, alternatively the "Tappe Roome." The origin is simple enough, for actual beer taps existed until banned in the mid-1990s due to changes in the alcoholic beverage code. It is unclear when the term fell into disuse.
The Kegerator Room (coal room)
This room, which originally held coal bins for the furnace, is located directly east of the bar, and was used as a storage area for alcoholic beverages until changes in campus and fraternal alcohol policies ended it in the mid-1990s. It is now the control room for the house fire sprinkler system.
The Steward Closet
The house's food is stored in the pantry and refrigerators in the Steward Closet. It became the Stewart Closet somewhat accidentally; a new refrigerator delivered would not fit through any other doors in the house; the room was formerly the cook's room (the last cook to live there was Ray Melton).
The Tool Room (Sigma Closet) and Social Closet (Epsilon Closet)
Adjacent to the bar was the Epsilon Closet, which stored decorations, stereo equipment, and other supplies for the social chairman. On the other side was the Tool Room (not to be confused with the Mu Closet) which formerly contained the chapter's archive of exams, papers, and other academic files. Brothers preparing to "tool" (study) pay visits and leave exasperated messages on the bricks on the north wall. Obsolesced by the Internet, in 2004 the partition separating the Tool Room and Social Closet was removed, so it is now a passageway connecting the bar with the boiler room.
The Mu Closet (House Manager Closet)
Omicron's house manager is nicknamed the "Mu"; the Mu Closet contains tools and hardware for his use.
The Jock Closet
Since at least the Second World War, the athletic manager of Omicron Zeta has been called the "High Jock." Athletic equipment is stored in the front closet of the Hollengreen Room.
The File Closet (Gamma Closet)
House records are stored in the ground floor closet underneath the stairwell.

The City of Tyler is moving forward with beer and wine sales.
On Tuesday, Tyler City Council passed three ordinances to help regulate the upcoming alcohol sales within the city.
"We took a very strong approach and we implemented or established ordinances that did address you know, traffic congestions, aesthetics and the look and feel for our community," said Heather Nick, Tyler's City Planner.
One of those ordinances established that the sale of alcoholic beverages must be at least 300 feet away from churches, schools, public hospitals, day-care centers or child-care facilities.
However, under Texas law, if the City Council receives a request from a private school, then the Council could extend the distance 1,000 feet.
When it comes to signs and banners related to the sale of beer and wine, the Texas Alcoholic Beverages Commission said there are restrictions for those too.
"They're allowed one sign and the lettering can be no more than 12 inches in height on those," said TABC Sergeant Marcus Stokke.
However, he said if a store is located on a corner lot, then the business is allowed two signs. There are also restrictions when it comes to putting signs advertising beer or wine in store windows. According to officials with the Texas Alcoholic Beverages Commission, signs within stores must be at least five feet away from windows.
A second ordinance adopted zoning regulations to determine where beer barns, or drive-through alcohol retail service areas, can be located. The City Council voted to have those types of businesses in M-2 General Industrial Districts. Those drive-through businesses must also be issued a special use permit.
Lastly, the City Council amended the Unified Development Code, by clarifying that the existing fee for Zoning Changes will also apply to the administrative costs associated with beer and wine on-site inspection verification, and other types of on-site zoning inspection verification.
So, how do you actually get a permit? You can download one by clicking here.
Once you receive a TABC application, it goes to the City of Tyler Clerk's office who will submit it to the county for review. Then, it goes to the State Comptroller who signs off on it and hands it back over to TABC for approval. To learn more about each of these steps, click here.
"We will call the applicant to come back and get the application. They'll take it to the County Judge and if no one has protested it, he'll sign off on it and it will get sent to Austin and that process from the time we get the completed application is about 40 days," Stokke said.
Tyler City Council is scheduled to canvass votes on Monday, November 19. After the votes are canvassed, businesses can start sending in their applications.

The Obama administration is pushing green energy in Africa, hoping the continent will bypass coal on its road to development. But some say it's not realistic – or ethical – to expect emerging economies to sidestep fossil fuels.
Shipping crude oil by rail has led to a coal shortage across the US. Rail companies have more than doubled the amount of petroleum products being shipped each week, which has caused delays in shipping coal, corn, and grain.
A boom in domestic oil and gas production is keeping the US trade deficit down. Some politicians and analysts think increased production means it's time the US allow for crude oil exports, while others say exporting oil would harm American energy security.
Solar panels can lose their efficiency over time due to exposure to harsh elements. Now, scientists have developed a method using magnetic forces that could help keep solar cells efficient and clean.
Research shows that by 2040, the need for drinking water and water to use in energy production will create shortages. What can people do to prevent water shortages from happening?
Oil and gas companies are taking on more debt to continue drilling, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Companies' revenues are now flattening out, as global oil prices have plateaued.

Nobody asked for, or really needed, a remake of Brian de Palma's iconic 1976 horror movie "Carrie," based on Stephen King's debut novel.
If it was going to be remade though, it could have been much worse than the slick version provided by director Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry") this week.
The remake actually follows the original rather closely, updating it where need be (cyber bullying!) and improving the special effects considerably.
Chloe Grace Moretz inherits the lead role of Carrie White, a naive, awkward teen raised by an oppressive mom and thrust into that most nightmarish level of hell: an American high school.
Carrie endures bullying and humiliation, discovers powers of telekinesis and ultimately exacts revenge at the most famous prom in cinematic history.
Moretz was an interesting choice as the lead. Could a pretty girl who is the epitome of cool — Hit Girl! (in "Kick-Ass"), not to mention a vampire ("Let Me In") — play the drab, sheltered, gawky teen brought to life so memorably by Sissy Spacek?
It turns out she can, quite capably. Moretz gives the role some nice touches, guiding Carrie through a roller-coaster stretch of adolescence and investing the audience in her plight.
Even better, however, is Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother, a loony and warped religious fanatic who keeps her daughter on an uncomfortably short leash. Moore gives some creepy weight to a role that easily could have devolved into camp (including an incredibly disturbing birth scene).
The rest of the teen supporting cast is forgettable. Carrie's chief tormentor, Chris Hargensen, is played by an actress with a much better real-life mean-girl name: Portia Doubleday. Ansel Elgort is the bland, softhearted dreamboat Tommy Ross, who brings Carrie to the prom. Gabriella Wilde is Sue Snell, the popular girl who actually tries to help.

According to the API documentation there are only 5 different homescreen templates available. However the widgets comming preinstalled seem to use different templates which are not listed. For example, the calendar widget shows 3 rows of text, but every row also has an icon. Another example would be the contacts bar or the program icons bar. Those use a 4 buttons layout not listed either. My guess is that there are some undocumented layouts. Another possibility would be that those widgets were created using a wideimage layout. I doubt that however, since those widgets have "sensitive" buttons which would not be possible using a wideimage layout. Also those widgets are not WRT based since they feature transparency.
Does anyone have an idea how I could make use of these layouts myself?

This week's Fab 5 is hosted by Mac King. Mac picked five of his most creative, original stories that he loves and we hope you do, too.
Everything in your phone: Mac explored how smart phones these days are full of all the gadgets and items that we used to have to carry around.
Make your own music app: Mac shows us the app that lets music lovers who are short on talent take center stage with just a few swipes and clicks on their phone.
Who needs the funnies?: The Sunday funny pages used to be a staple of American life. Mac finds out whether people still actually read the funnies. If they don't, why not and what has replaced them?
Curling: Curling is one of those sports that people pay attention to every four years during the Winter Olympics. Mac hit the ice to learn how to sweep the ice and make that rock move.
Square knishes return: The knish craze is in full swing. Mac heads to Katz's deli and talks to happy customers who are enjoying digging into their knishes again.

Why would anybody be excited over a shop opening, other than the people who are going to work there?

If the 'excitement' keeps on growing like this it could reach fever pitch by 16th July.
I trust Essex Police have contingency plans to deploy horses and riot control personnel for the opening occasion.
What a lot of old cobblers!

Finally, suggestions about taking business away from Braintree town don't make any sense. Who precisely would be the competitor in Braintree that would lose out? You may recall that M&S tried and failed with a venture in the town years back.

"As the youngest urban population in one of the most lively and diverse regions, Birmingham is a great place to be. For many years churches all over the diocese have served their communities in such a way as to be recognised and valued by those outside the church structures for meeting the needs of some of the poorest people in society.
I am proud to be part of a team of clergy and lay people working tirelessly with breadth, depth and commitment in serving older people, young people, children, refugees, asylum seekers and homeless people."
We're working on making this more effective but for now here's the latest from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer and links to download the relevant weeks from Praying Together...

Arizona Cardinals rookie safety Deone Bucannon has not been able to participate in practice because he has turf toe, according to the Arizona Republic.
Bucannon was reportedly not moving well during Thursday's practice. The team has not said how long he will be out.
Coach Bruce Arians has said there are areas where Bucannon needs improvement so the injury may set him back.
The Cardinals selected Bucannon with the No. 27 overall pick in last month's draft out of Washington State. He is vying for a starting spot at strong safety.

BUSINESS Q&A: Let them eat my cake
Home bakery has led to party planning
SAN ANGELO, Texas - When Suzanna Aguirre decided to take a cake decorating class four years ago, she had in mind one grand scale, highly-anticipated family fête — her daughter's quinceañera in eight years.
Aguirre, who has a 12-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son and works full time as the city manager's office coordinator, quickly became hooked in the art of confectionery design, completing her final courses in Abilene when they were no longer available in San Angelo. She began baking and decorating cakes as a side job and in April opened a home bakery, Eat My Cake Designs.
"I have a full-time job so I can't commit as much time to it as I'd like. But I've been pretty busy with it, so it's going well," she said. "If somebody books a cake with me, it's one of a few cakes I'm doing, so it's going to be fresh and made just for them."
A year ago, Aguirre began teaching cake design classes at Michaels, then expanded her business' offerings to include cake-making birthday parties.
"It all revolves around my kids, basically," Aguirre said of her business expansion ideas. "I'm always looking for something different to do for (their birthdays); you can only do so many pizza parties.
"In my classes, I've had girls as young as 11 (years old) be able to accomplish what the course requires. My daughter loves to help, and I thought this would be cool if I had a party and they could decorate their own cake and take it home as their party favor."
Word hasn't spread about Aguirre's parties as much as she'd like, but the cake-decorating component of the business has grown, she said.
"Right now (the work is) more for birthday parties and promotion parties," Aguirre said. "My thing is to make it personalized for them or represent whatever they're trying to celebrate. I try to make it something they would love."
Taste, of course, also is important, Aguirre said.
"Normally I do a box cake, but I do specialty ones if people request them," she said. "It depends on what people want and what they want to spend."
The price of a sheet cake starts at $40, Aguirre said. Custom cakes require more work, she said, and thus cost more.
"It really depends on what the person wants," she said. "I've been doing a lot more fondant work — you can make shapes out of it and cover cakes in it. If I'm making fondant figures I have to use gum paste to make it hard, and it's all edible.
"I did a cake for my friend, and I made (a figure of) her out of fondant, and she just loved it.
"I love making cakes for people and seeing their reaction. It's cool to teach people how to do it, because they do things they didn't know they could."
Standard-Times: Have you ever owned a business before?
Aguirre: No, and that was definitely not my intention when I started doing this. It was just to make cakes for my kids with the goal to ultimately make (my daughter's) quinceañera cake. It's really taken on its own life. But it's turned out well. I enjoy doing it. It's a blessing.
What do the cake-decorating birthday parties entail?
I had my dad make cake plates so I bring those to put the cake on. There are aprons for them to wear at the party. It's just really cutesy, girlie. At the (first) party I did, there was a little boy, so I think boys can do it too. I want to cater to whatever it is they're trying to do. I can provide everything and help them if they need it.
What is something you really strive for? Are you a perfectionist about anything?
I'm such a perfectionist (laughs). Usually with the cakes I do, people are good about telling me what they want the cake to be about. I try to make it exactly the way it would make them the happiest.
Is that nerve-wracking?
Yes, because you want it to be perfect. Any time I think about birthday (parties) I had growing up, I remember the cake I had. So that is a little pressure. But the chaos — to see them so happy — is awesome.
Are you a creative person in other ways?
I guess people would say I am. I am constantly taking on projects. I just made some banners for one of my co-workers for a 50th wedding anniversary. They turned out amazing. I sew, too. I just love making things for people. When you make something for people yourself, I think it's more special.

Personal Story
She was the definition of LOVE. Since the day she was born, on Valentine's Day, my Auntie Sonia's spread love and kindness to everyone she met. The world was her oyster and I remember vividly the beautiful big smile on her angelic face. She loved Life! She loved family! She was the rock that held us together. It's been almost 2 years on New Year's Eve that she left us and I miss her sweet voice, her warm touch, her guiding wisdom. We love you Auntie. Thank you for enriching our life. This photo was our last New Year's Day together. I cherish all our fun times forever. You are my Mom, my sister, my best friend, my teacher, my inspiration, and thinking of you, keeps me alive.

As promised, here is the additional blog! Expect to see one every Wednesday from now on.
Today, I am going to talk about something a little bit different. It isn't writing related, though I am sure that it could be used in someone's writing some time.
I am going to be telling you about my new friend 'Herman the German'.
He is a cake, and he was given to me by my friend. He is also known as a German Friendship cake. If you google it, you will get many hits.
He came up in conversation one day. I have German roots, so my friend asked me if I had ever heard of the German Friendship Cake before. I said that I hadn't, but as I came to England when I was 6 months old, this wasn't overly surprising. So I said I would ask my mother when I spoke to her next, as she spent 27 years of her life in Germany and has returned there. Before I spoke to my mother, I googled it, disappointed that I wasn't aware of this wonderful thing from half of my culture. It turned out it was actually Amish. Now, I don't think the Amish are German, but I could be wrong.
But anyway, I still asked my mum. This is how the conversation went (kind of):
Me: Hi mum, do you know what a German Friendship Cake is?
Mum: No, never heard of it. Probably some strange thing.
Me: Well, it is called Herman the German. Does that ring any bells?
Mum: Oh, Nikki (My sister Nicole, also German) used to know a Herman in Paderborn or Lippstadt. Somewhere round there. Maybe that's where it came from.
Me: Okay, thanks mum. Bye.
Later, I got a call from my mother, and it went like this:
Me: Hello?
Mum: Hello, it's only me. I know where Herman is from. Detmold!
Me: Mum, it is not named after Nikki's friend.
Mum: Well, Herman is a very German name.
So, you can see, if Herman the German is truly from Germany, he probably originated in Detmold.
But if you look on the internet, you will see that most people think it was the Amish, who gave food to the poor and needy.
I have my little bowl of mixture, and in 5 days time, I will be dividing him into 4, and giving 3 away to friends. I look forward to having a taste of him. He is a sour dough mixture, and if you want to start your own, you can find out how on the internet too!
I will let you know if I kill him. Yes, he can be killed. The instructions say that if he stops bubbling he is dead.

When your kids are finished making this pretty little fish, they may not have the heart to demolish their handiwork! Never fear. Just pour the candy and treats from her mouth.
For smaller children, instead of using a pencil, they can simply wad the crepe paper squares in their fingers and stick them directly to the glue. This project requires a lot of drying time, so be sure to plan accordingly. If you can't bring yourself to break this pretty piñata, pour the candies and treats out through the mouth at party time, then hang the fish in your child's room or playroom as a decoration.
Blow up the balloon and use the measuring cup as your stand.
Mix together 1 part flour and 2 parts water to make the papier-mâché paste. Start with 1 cup of flour and 2 cups of water, and mix more when needed. Use a whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps.
Dip a strip of newspaper into the paste, squeeze off excess by running the wet strip between two fingers like a squeegee. Lay the wet strip across the balloon and smooth with your fingers. Continue this process, crisscrossing the strips as you go, until the entire balloon is covered, with the exception of the tied end of the balloon.
Leave about a 1 ½" perimeter around the balloon knot for the fish's mouth. Allow the paper to dry for 6 hours or so, before moving on to the next step.
Fold the thin cardboard in half and then, using the patterns, line up the indicated edges up against the fold and trace and cut out the tail and the two fins. You should now have two joined pieces for each pattern piece. Fold the cardboard where the dotted lines on the patterns indicate.
Place the larger fin (dorsal fin) on the top side of the balloon. The rounded edge should be facing toward the mouth end and the straight end of the fin should be toward the back of the fish.
Cover the fin and the folded pieces with a couple layers of newspaper. Repeat this process (minus the yarn step) for the bottom fin (pelvic fin) and the tail. Cover the fish with a second coat of newspaper strips and let dry overnight.
Paint the entire surface of the fish (with the exception of the tail and fins) with pink paint.
Cut orange streamers into squares. Coat one side of the tail with white glue. Twist the squares around the eraser end of a pencil, and then push the paper-covered eraser into the glue on the tail. Continue this until the entire tail is covered. Repeat this process for the fins as well, turn fish over and do the other sides.
Use the round sponge applicator dipped in white paint to add spots to the fish. These will just be guides for you to add crepe paper squares to the spots. Also use the applicator to add both eyes, dabbing the applicator in a wider circle to make the eye larger than the spots. Using green, pink and yellow crepe paper, cover the spots using the method in step 9.
Use the round applicator dipped in black paint to add the pupil to the eye. When that is dry, use a mini round applicator to add a black dot in the pupil. This is optional, but you can cut two simple eyelids from dark pink crepe paper and glue them to the eyes, then add eyelashes with a black marker.
For the mouth, you will need 18 feet of dark pink crepe paper. Fold in half, then in half again, and again until you have a 12" long folded piece.
Hold one end of the crepe paper and begin twisting, continue twisting until you reach the other end.
Pop the balloon and remove it from the fish's mouth. Pipe some craft glue around the outside of the mouth and glue the twisted crepe paper around the mouth opening. You can secure the "lips" in place with "chip clips" until the glue has dried.
To add the string to hang the piñata from, fold the yarn in half to create a loop. Tie the two open ends into a knot. Use a pen to poke a hole through the top of the fish, in front of the dorsal fin. Insert the knotted end of the yarn into the hole and cover the hole generously with instant grab glue. Let dry completely.
Insert candy and lightweight toys and trinkets into the fish's mouth.

Patent Clinic
The Patent Clinic is a joint effort between the TEC and the University of Illinois College of Law (COL) in which selected participants from the Cozad New Venture Competition and the Illinois Innovation Prize entrants can have a patent application drafted for them at no cost, if their invention description includes a novel and potentially patentable device, system or method. The value of this program is worth at least $10,000-$12,000 per patent application for each student/team. Innovators work with third-year law students to give them the information needed to author the applications, under the supervision of Professor Joe Barich.
Joe Barich is licensed patent attorney and is also an Adjunct Professor in the College of Law where he has taught Patent Prosecution since the Spring semester of 2005. He partnered with TEC to launch the Patent Clinic during the spring of 2008; and this year accepted seven student teams from more than 20 that applied. The collaboration and partnership is one that TEC continues to nurture and develop with each academic year. To date, 13 patent applications have been drafted for our student innovators, which has provided over $120,000 in free patent work to them.

Bennett Place Historical Site, Durham, North Carolina
The World > North America > USA
Bennett Place is a quiet, restored farmhouse, situated in Durham in the North Carolina countryside. In April of 1865, this farmhouse was located between two opposing armies; Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's headquarters in Greensboro, and Union Gen. William T. Sherman's headquarters in Raleigh. The two Generals met at this farmhouse to negotiate and sign the surrender documents for the Southern Armies in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, in what became the largest troop surrender of the U.S. Civil War. The house and farm are now preserved as a North Carolina Historic Site. In 1865, the farm was owned by James and Nancy Bennett (at the time, the name was spelled Bennitt). At the time, General Joseph Johnston's army had failed to stop the army of the Union General, William T. Sherman, from waging a war of total destruction in North Carolina. But once it became known that General Robert E. Lee's army had surrendered to General Ulysses Grant, the war was over and further fighting had to cease.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

A while back, we got to thinking that our office operations should reflect the values inherent in the High Line itself, as well as our own staff's personal commitment to environmental conservation. Recently, two larger non-profits built themselves new LEED certified offices (NYC Audubon Society and the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment). We got jealous.
... And so can you! There are still a few spots remaining for the remaining Sketching the High Line classes with artist Ann DeVere.
Last Saturday was the first class, and it was a really wonderful experience. Ann led us through a series of warm-up exercises to get our creative juices flowing, and then we sat for few longer sketches, observing and recording the unique viewpoint we had of the High Line and its surroundings.
Don't miss this great opportunity!
There are spaces available for the following dates: May 10, May 17, and May 31; click here to sign up. All classes begin at 11 am and end at 12:30 pm. These classes are identical, so registration is only permitted for one class. Members receive a discount; click here for more information about becoming a member. More photos after the jump.
Searching for a downtown alternative to the Armory show this weekend? Look no further than Pier 40, which will house the PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, exhibiting works in all media from over 70 international galleries.
On Tuesday night we had our first membership event: a lecture with the High Line's planting designer, Piet Oudolf. You may have seen Piet's beautiful work in the gardens at Battery Park City, Millennium Park in Chicago, or at other sites elsewhere around the world.
Piet discussed his theory of planting design, which he describes as "inspired by nature". He then took us through the planting design plan for the High Line. The planting beds will vary based on the landscape design; some areas will be planted to feel more like a meadow, some a prairie, some woodland, and so on. This variation is based on the different microclimates that developed naturally on the High Line after trains stopped running on it. Piet also uses perennials that require less maintenance, and will look good throughout all four seasons.

Last night we partied with our neighbor Edris as she celebrated her salon's 5th anniversary. With a bouncer out front of our building, a dance floor full of old friends from the neighborhood, and great food and wine, we couldn't have thought of a better way to spend a Monday night. Congratulations, Edris!
New York isn't the only city to be blessed with out-of-use elevated railway-- while back home in Chicago last year, I took a hike on the Bloomingdale Trail, the three-mile-long unused rail embankment that runs through Chicago's residential west side.
The plant-covered trail, which trains stopped using in the 1980's, is just 15 feet tall and runs in close proximity to neighborhood schools, playgrounds, and backyards. Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail started in 2003 to seize this exciting opportunity to create new community recreation and park space.
