- Horrible ServiceLuv2sampleDined on 10/18/2014This is a beautiful place, don't understand why they have a 90 sanitation grade, that's scary. Our waiter was terrible. He forgot our appetizer😞. We had to wait sooo long for our food. He never came back to check on us and when he did I asked about our appetizer and he replied w/he forgot to put it in. Smh!!!!! I doubt if I will ever return to this place! My first and last time.Special Features:
- Great evening outingDinnerNFunDined on 10/11/2014This is my second visit to District Roof Top Bar & Grille and the first one was much better. The food was not as good this time. Appetizers were good, crab cakes were all filler and no crab and were sent back, oyster salads were great. Service was great. Live entertainment was very fun. Needed more outdoor heaters but it all worked out. Great evening altogether.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Atypical but unacceptableAtypicalbutunacceptableDined on 10/7/2014I eat lunch at The District several times a year, usually getting good service and good food. However, the last time I went was the last time I'll go. Arrived at noon - waitress rarely checked on our party of 8 - took 3 times of talking to her to place our order - got our food around 1:30 - 1/3 of the orders were wrong - left at 2:20. Won't take that chance again.
- Great quality for the priceStevesreviewsDined on 10/2/2014The service was great, Andrew has to be one of the best servers in the Triad, and the food was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rooftop DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/19/2014I made reservations for District Roof Top Bar and Grille because of the roof top dining. The ambiance wasn't quite what I was expecting but wasn't bad either. My expectations were a little too high. The food was good, as well as the service. Could use a more extensive wine list.Special Features:
- View is the Bestamlane04Dined on 9/5/2014Beautiful view of downtown Winston. Food is always good and staff is friendly and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice AtmospheregirlsoutDined on 8/29/2014The location and atmosphere is excellent. The view of downtown Winston is nice. The staff was pleasant. The food was good but a little pricey. My only disappointment was the quality of the alcoholic beverages. I would suggest making a large selection of bar drinks on a menu. Many people do not know the name of drinks but can select from a description. Great for groups. I will returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- embarrassedDined on 8/27/2014This was my second time at The District. It was for a very special occasion, unfortunately, so I have to say that I regret choosing The District as my restaurant choice. The service was good, but the food was at best poor. I had a salad with salmon added. The salad had no taste and the salmon had little flavor. My date had salmon as his entrée and he made very little comment about it. I wish you the best, but I will not be dining with you again.
- Great meal and great service!PorkstuffDined on 8/23/2014Jamie was an amazing waiter and knew his beer and wine list extremely well. He was well-versed on the specials and overall was just great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Gone downhillOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/14/2014Had not been to this restaurant for a while and will likely not go back anytime soon. Service was slow and meal was below average. When we were leaving we saw the restaurant had an 85 or B score for cleanliness.

- Great location great foodLSMITHDined on 7/31/2014The service was excellent, the food was incredible. Great menu with items you can't find at other establishments. Recommend eating outside on the patio in good weather. Good views. Will visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was goodjrchicago9Dined on 7/21/2014I booked a party of 5 thru open table. There was no one else (literally) in the restaurant. Yet they stuck us at a table barely big enough for 3 or 4. The food was good and I'll return. I just wish the waiter had done just a tad more to make the meal memorable. Did I mention that we were the only ones there?I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for our anniversary0ldsaltyDined on 7/17/2014I had seen very mixed reviews but decided we would try it anyway. It was our 21 first anniversary. We met 27 years ago at NCSA. I wanted a view of downtown. And we had good time at District. We got there a little early and were able to be seated then. Beverage service was a little iradict. They would check on us regularly and then forgot we were there. All in all had a great timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!happydinerDined on 7/14/2014Heard about DR from a friend. Was a great experience from start to finish. Great service. Wonderful food. We will definitely be visiting again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OFF MY LIST!!AlwaysLookingVIPDined on 7/12/2014This restaurant has all of the key components for a great restaurant, but completely misses the mark. The Roasted Tomato & Smokey Bacon Bisque had to send it back because it was lukewarm despite the claim that it had just been made. A bisque is supposed to be smooth, creamy and well-seasoned. This soup was thick, lumpy and the few pieces of bacon added no extra flavor at all. The Brooklyn Style Grilled Cheese was interesting, but again the bacon added no flavor here. The District Burger was adequate. I wanted to order a bottle of Belle Glos Meiomi ($36). Only a partial bottle was available and I was served a 4-5 oz. pour for TEN DOLLARS!! This ends up costing the customer around $50-60 per bottle instead. We will not return or recommend.

We will definitely go to The District again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food, service just so-soBeebeeDined on 3/15/2014We went to District for my daughter's 18th birthday & there were 5 of us. I had indicated it was a special birthday & asked for a really good table, so was very disappointed when we were seated at the door the servers use to pick up the meals, WORST TABLE THERE. Also, although l told our server it was my daughter's birthday, there was no offer of a dessert & I'm not sure he acknowledged it at all. Our meals were all very good. The bill for the 5 meals, 3 beers, one dessert split between us, including tip, was $142. After dinner, we went up to the rooftop bar, listened to a band, had a few beers & left. If it hadn't been for the bad table & the non-acknowledgement of my daughter's special event, l would have given this experience 5 stars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent in every way!DavidDined on 2/15/2014We had the best experience possible thanks to our waiter PJ. He was able to add a lot to our night in conversation and recommendations from the appetizer, entrees and even the wine. All of his suggestions were right on. We had the filet and tuna and the wine was one of the best we've had in a while. Thanks goes to PJ who makes this resturant that's already great, our absolute favorite. PJ was there for us giving service that you normally only get at very expensive resturants. He answered all our questions and served us with a smile even though we asked a lot from him. He came through in every way. The food and wine were very good and PJ made our Valentine celebration very special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eveningTripDined on 2/14/2014We went with another couple for valentines dinner. The waitstaff was entertaining and attentive but not too intrusive. Our steaks were cooked to order and the Mac n cheese was delicious. The girls had the ahi tuna and lobster ravioli. Both were great. The portions were plenty and I look forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ColdGrayDined on 1/18/2014The four in our group all received cold food! The French fries were left over from lunch they were so cold. The soup was Luke warm at best with very little flavor. We did talk to the new owner and he comp the soup and a additional 20 percent off the bill. Just coming out and talking to us will bring us back for another try. The service was good, and the atmosphere was good. The bar area was very cool, will go back in warmer weather for roof top bar sene!
- Started out poorly1sttimersDined on 1/16/2014First off let me say the waitress was great. They were in between changing out their wines and menu...so at first things didn't seem to be too great because every wine (at least 4) were not available. So after we finally got a bottle that they did have and ordered, one of the entrees we ordered, we were told they were out of also. But in the end, the food was excellent! The manager bought one of our bottles of wines due to all the problems (not having any of the ones requested from their wine list) and was very sorry for all the issues. I would like to go again and in warmer weather to try out the roof top bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We dined at the District dueOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/14/2014We dined at the District due to their menu for The Big Eat. The food was great and the atmosphere was great as well. We will definitely dine there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Server was fantastic!foodandfunVIPDined on 1/11/2014We come to The District about once a month, mainly to eat Chicken and Waffles. The server we had this time was the best server we have ever had here! She was fun, yet businesslike and ensured we always had what we needed. A little personality always goes a long ways! The food was good, Chicken and Waffles are a must try, especially with the sweet collards! The special of the night (Vegetable Streudel) was kind of flat and boring.. BBQ sandwich was good.Special Features:
- not bad, not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/31/2013Sevice was really very good, or orders were accurate and our drinks were never empty. The food was good, but there wasn't any wow dishes. They had pulled two items off the menu, the only two that seemed different, and didn't replace them with anything. Wasn't that they were out of these items, they just don't make them anymore.Special Features:
- Poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/27/2013Wait staff very rude. Piercings and tatoos not good with food. Lighting bad and cold drafty setting. The wait staff member made comments aimed at offending diners. Made comments about wine and beer that were unfounded and represented a hostile style personality. She stated that her boss ( females) were meaner than her and would be like her when we asked to speak with management. She thought we were kidding. Bad spot for trying to dine better for buss tours that want a drink of water and insultsSpecial Features:

FORT WAYNE – The Fort Wayne Community Schools board Wednesday heard how the administration is aligning its work with what the board expects of Superintendent Wendy Robinson.
The district uses balanced scorecards as a way to manage its operations and set, track and achieve goals. The board uses district objectives to create an overall balanced scorecard that is being aligned with Robinson's evaluation and the work of the administration.
During a board work session Wednesday, Robinson's cabinet gave updates on how their departments use and update their balanced scorecards.
Chief Financial Officer Kathy Friend said the system has helped her departments – which include facilities and nutrition services – have meaningful discussions on where best to spend time and effort. She also said it gives employees a better appreciation for their role in the district.
I'm glad it was kind of forced on us because I'm not sure we would have done it on our own, she said of the balanced scorecard system.
Many in the administration reported that data and processes have changed as they've narrowed their focus to specific goals and how to achieve them.
FWCS attorney Bill Sweet said that when he started with the district his objectives were to reduce legal costs, but he is now more focused on working through legislative changes affecting teacher contracts and helping develop a compensation plan for teachers.
Elementary Area Administrator Pamela Musick said her balanced scorecard allows her to learn quickly about the work of her area and information from the past three years.
Board President Mark GiaQuinta said the presentation is a reminder of all the work that goes into the system.
Robinson said the system requires the district to continuously evaluate its process, ensuring it can move forward and on to more rigorous goals.
Board members also provided feedback based on the presentations about what specific areas they would like to hear more about. These suggestions will likely come back as presentations during board meetings.
Some suggestions included the district's new behavior system and code of conduct; an update on the achievement gap in FWCS; more information about individual high school programs; and marketing strategies for informing the public on the work of the district.

Emanuel wants inspector general to reapply for job
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com June 29, 2013 9:46AM
Chicago Inspector General Joe Ferguson | Sun-Times files
Updated: August 2, 2013 6:56AM
Chicago Inspector General Joe Ferguson has been told he must reapply for the $161,856-a-year job he's held for the past four years, setting the stage for his exit after two chilly years under Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Tucked away in the latest round of ethics reforms was a little-noticed provision laying out the selection process for the post. It calls for the mayor to appoint a five-member "blue-ribbon panel" of college deans, retired judges, and community and civic leaders with "high moral character." Members would "diligently search" for candidates, and the inspector general "shall be appointed by the mayor" from among their recommendations for a four-year term that "may be renewed at the discretion of the mayor" with City Council approval.
Now, the administration is using that language to force Ferguson's hand. Either Ferguson puts his resume on the pile and his faith in a panel handpicked by the mayor, daring Emanuel to fire him, or he considers the mandate an insult and walks away from the job.
"Rahm is known for playing hardball. They may be using this new process to get rid of an IG Rahm doesn't like," said Dick Simpson, University of Illinois at Chicago political science professor and a former independent alderman.
Simpson noted that Emanuel campaigned on a promise to strengthen and expand the inspector general's powers and give the city watchdog unfettered access to city documents.
"Rahm made promises he's not so interested in keeping and Ferguson has embarrassed the administration to get documents he should have access to," Simpson said.
"Rahm would like to appoint his own person somewhat more friendly. He wants everybody to say he's doing a great job and not question him. Ferguson raises questions that improve the administration. A city as corrupt as Chicago is better served when corruption and waste is rooted out by a truly independent inspector general," Simpson said.
Emily Miller, policy director for the Better Government Association, said Ferguson should be "removed for cause" or retained.
"You don't make somebody reapply for a job. It's a waste of money and time. There's a learning curve. It doesn't make sense to start over with a new inspector general when the one you have is working, uncovering corruption and doing all the things an IG is supposed to be doing," Miller said.
Still, Miller said she's not surprised by the maneuvering.
"It's not a secret that Ferguson and the mayor have had issues. They've been involved in litigation for years. If you were to get a new IG, it's possible and probably likely that the initiatives to get more power and establish subpoena power would go away along with Ferguson," she said.
Ferguson could not be reached for comment. His four-year term expires in November.
Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), the mayor's City Council floor leader, was somewhat coy when asked if City Hall was using the selection process to remove a political thorn in Emanuel's side.
"This will be the mayor's first appointment of that office. If they want a protocol to appoint going forward, they're entitled to put that in place. Inviting him to apply is a better sign than if they said, `There's no need to apply because you're not gonna get appointed,' " O'Connor said.
"At one point in time, I had introduced an ordinance that would have allowed for one inspector general to be both legislative and non-legislative and, at that point, Joe had expressed a willingness to reapply because he felt that was an appropriate format. If they're looking to find out who's out there as candidates, I mean, it's pretty much their choice and Joe, I don't think, would have any issue with that."
Former Inspector General David Hoffman embarrassed and infuriated former Mayor Richard M. Daley before using the fame he gained as Chicago's corruption-fighting inspector general to run for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in 2010.
Ferguson has a similarly frosty relationship with Emanuel because of his investigations, audits and aggressive suggestions to cut spending and raise revenue. Ferguson has also tried to hold the mayor to his campaign promises.
Earlier this year, Ferguson warned that Chicago faces a "risk of increased waste, fraud and misconduct" by city employees and contractors because Emanuel has refused to give the inspector general unrestricted access to city documents and the power to enforce his own subpoenas.
Ferguson fired back, one week after Emanuel made it clear he has no intention of introducing a legislative remedy to an Illinois Supreme Court ruling that could tie Ferguson's hands and insulate Emanuel and his staff from investigation. "This office has only the authority to do the job the mayor wants it to do and not the authority to do the job that it is statutorily obligated to do," Ferguson wrote in a letter to aldermen that preceded his quarterly report.
"The mayor, in publicly stating that the IGO has all the authority it needs, is mandating that the IGO cannot follow the evidence where it leads."
Emanuel has pointed to steps he's taken to fill vacancies in Ferguson's office and exempt him from budget cuts affecting other city departments. The mayor has said he considers the city's inspector general a "key partner in ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse," but Joe Ferguson doesn't need more power than his state and federal counterparts.
In a recent interview with Governing Magazine, Ferguson renewed his warning that, to be truly independent, he and other inspectors general need to control their own hiring and spending — not go hat-in-hand to the mayor.
"Terms like `transparency, accountability and oversight' are at real risk of becoming hackneyed political terms bandied about without definition," Ferguson was quoted as saying.
"The term IG is bastardized right now. It needs to be grounded in basic standards."

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's monarch has replaced the commander of the kingdom's air force.
The official Saudi Press Agency says that Crown Prince Salman received Lt. Gen. Mohammed bin Abdullah al-Ayesh on Saturday, the day after King Abdullah issued a decree referring him to retirement.
The prince also received his replacement as commander, Lt. Gen. Fayyad bin Hamed bin Raqad.
No reasons were given for the decrees, and it was not clear if al-Ayesh had been scheduled to retire.
Last month, the monarch relieved deputy defense minister Prince Khaled bin Sultan, who headed Arab coalition forces during the U.S.-led Gulf War that drove Iraqi troops from Kuwait in 1991. Prince Khaled was replaced with former navy commander Prince Fahad bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Abdul-Rahman.

As you walk out onto the wrap around entertainment deck, you will look into the 1,500 sqr. ft. thermal heated swimming pond. Our pond ranges from 2ft.- 10 f. at the deepest spot. This pond is fed from under ground springs from the ocean so it rises and falls with the tide.This is also a great filtering system that keeps the water very clean and clear and with a temperature that is normally in the 80's. This makes snorkeling in the pond a pleasure. We do supply some snorkeling equipment as well as a hot/cold out side shower. If you take a right outside our drive way, you will see a tunnel of trees which leads to tide pools as well as the breathtaking view of the ocean. Walk another 6 minutes and your will be at the Wai' Ope Fish Reserve. See so many colorful fish as well as the different colored corals. This is Not a place you will find packed with people.

Across the street is a black sand beach were you can watch the canoe teams practice or walk and look for beach glass. Then theres the Volcano National Park you want to visit. Walk through lava tubes and see the steam vents. The Volcano Golf course is right above the park as well as the Volcano Winery. If its night time lava cascading down the volcano you want to see, thats about a 20 minute drive from our home. Viewing is free and it opens to the public at 5 p.m. Bring a jacket, flashlight (theres some at the house) and water. Park rangers are there to make sure everyone is safe.

Technology To Grow The UK Toy Market In 2013
UK Toy Market Forecast For 2013
We thought that regular readers of this Blog might be interested in Steve's predictions for the UK Toy Market in 2013. The press release below with Steve's predictions has just been released…looks like it'll be another exciting year in the Toy trade!
"Leading Toy Industry Expert, Steve Reece has unveiled his predictions for the UK Toy Industry at the annual UK Toyfair in London.
"We're going to see winners and losers in 2013, but overall we're predicting overall growth of a couple of percentage points. There is a huge amount of product innovation happening in the toy industry right now."
"Kids Tablets have been a huge new factor in the Toy business, but we believe this trend is still in it's infancy, and as adult targeted Tablets become ubiquitous over the next 2-3 years, so the kids Tablet market will explode. We also see significant growth potential in the Construction & Building Block category, plus continued expansion of sales of Licensed Toy from virtual world and App Brands, and likely follow up from Hasbro on Furby."
He added "There is also potential upside in terms of Video Game/Toy fusion products such as Skylanders and Disney Infinity, which as yet have not been generally accounted for as part of Toy sales, (instead being seen as Video games), despite taking up significant space within Toy aisles."
"There are multiple negative influencing factors, not least of which is tough times at retail, however, overall we remain optimistic based on product innovation, and the success in 2012 of high end, high pricepoint Toys."

The final phase of road re-paving in Baxter Estates may have to wait until next spring because of all the construction planned or already under way in the village.
With major renovations proceeding at the Port Washington Public Library, installation of new water mains on Sandy Hollow Lane, and the planned groundbreaking of a new Shields Hardware store at Main and High Streets, the completion of a three-year plan to re-surface all the roads in the village will have to take a back seat to heavy machinery and patched roadways until early next year, according to village officials.
The only streets not re-paved in the last two years are High Street, Columbia Place, Locust Avenue, North Washington Street, Sandy Hollow lane, and tiny Green Hayes. All are on or near major projects that could require access by heavy construction equipment, or may require under-street tie-ins to utilities, it was revealed at a Sept. 18 meeting of the board of trustees.
"I don't want to lay a street down and then have it cut up," said Mayor John Weaver. "High Street may have to wait because of the heavy equipment for the construction (at Shields). Locust Avenue may have to wait until after the library is done.
"It's been the concept of our whole administration to get the streets done as soon as possible."
The PWPL renovation isn't slated for completion until spring, but even if the Sandy Hollow water main or Shields projects are completed by late fall or Christmas, pavement cannot be laid during cold weather.
"I'd like to see the paving program done by fall," echoed Trustee Fred Nicholson, "but we may have to wait to have it done right."
Though no work has begun on the new Shields Hardware, Baxter Estates officials are encouraged by hefty payments by Shields to the village to guarantee that work will proceed according to a village-approved timetable (see Port Washington News June 29).
"Mr. Shields walked into Village Hall the other day with a check for $4,605 to renew his building permit," said Mayor Weaver. The permit extends for 6 months.
Shields also signed an agreement to pay $10,000 if the building and sidewalks are not adhering to a late-fall construction timetable, according to one official.
"I spoke with (Shields) today," said trustee Nicholson. "The bank is giving him a final punch-list to go to closing."

The tenant of a 72-year-old local landlord claims the man came to her duplex month after month and groped her as he collected the rent.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Hamilton County Circuit Court, Sarah Hurst said landlord Colman Hochman began groping her one month after she and her boyfriend moved into the Eucalyptus Drive duplex in January 2010.
The monthly visits escalated over time from touching her clothes to Hochman reaching up her shirt in front of her 3-year-old child, Hurst's sister and a female friend, the lawsuit states.
"Several times I pushed this man off of me," Hurst, 31, said in a phone interview Friday. "And he still would not stop."
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for "battery and emotional distress," court costs and attorney's fees.
Reached by phone Friday, Hochman said he knew of the lawsuit but had not yet read through it. Hochman said he recently reported Hurst to the Tennessee Department of Children's Services for neglecting her daughter and he suspected the complaint was Hurst's retaliation.
"It'd be better for me to read the complaint before I comment on it," he said.
Hurst said she has very little money and worried that Hochman might evict her if she complained. She's still living in Hochman's duplex, but said she is trying to find a new place to live.
Hurst runs an escort service called "Personal Encounters," which has been listed in the Chattanooga Times Free Press classified section since June.
Hochman said he knew of the escort business but did not talk with Hurst about it and assumed it was being run from outside the duplex.
The lawsuit states that Hochman arrived at Hurst's duplex to collect the rent each month from January 2010 to May 2010 and touched Hurst each time.
The lawsuit questions why Hochman came to the property in person to collect rent when he had an office.
Hochman said he has been in the rental business for 30 years and estimated he currently has 100 tenants. Some tenants don't have bank accounts or transportation, he said.
"I do a fair amount of collecting from individual tenants," Hochman said. "About a dozen, I collect by hand."
Hamilton County property records show 30 properties listed under Hochman or Hochman Family Partners. The partnership also is named in the lawsuit.
Hochman said he did not remember being the target of this kind of complaint from any tenants in the past. Circuit Court records do not show any lawsuits filed in Hamilton County against Hochman other than Hurst's complaint.
In June, the complaint states, Hurst told her ex-boyfriend, Ronald Ragsdale, what had been happening. He confronted Hochman and the landlord apologized, agreeing that Ragsdale could pay the rent and he wouldn't visit Hurst again, according to the lawsuit.
Hurst admits she doesn't have a perfect past. Hamilton County court records show that she pleaded guilty in 2003 to possessing marijuana and in 2004 to possessing drug paraphernalia.
Five years ago, Hurst was arrested in East Ridge on a prostitution charge.
She said the incident was a misunderstanding. She had worked for a year as an escort and told her date that night she was not a prostitute, she said, but shortly after he put money on the table police burst through the door and arrested her.
She pleaded guilty and received a one-year suspended sentence, she said.
"I think even though I have had a criminal record it still doesn't give him the right to put his hands on me," she said.

Clearly the woman is seeking revenge because Mr. Hochman is a well-to-do man with money and he called the FCS on her. If it was true she would have reported it the first time and moved! If this happen to me or most other women he would have drawn back a "nub".
I guess you have ALL of the facts in this case Nina, because clearly you have jumped to a conclusion about something you only have a small amount of knowledge about. How do you know that Mr Hochman didn't retaliate by evicting and calling the fcs after being confronted by a male family member of this victim. What about all of the other disadvantaged women he has did this to. YEAH STUPID there are more of them. But I guess in your world jumping to conclusions are the norm.
Did you ever think that some people can't snap their fingers and move wherever they want to? This woman has a criminal record, do you know how hard it is to find a home that will rent to someone with a criminal record even IF they've removed their self from that kind of environment. I know this woman personally and she's a great woman who would never lie about something like this and if you're so shallow minded that you can't clearly see that this man sexually assaulted Ms. Hurst because he's a man of power who believed no one would ever take her side because of her past. Have some respect, this woman is clearly a victim.
Nina, you are clearly a well-to-do woman with money with no criminal background and very good credit to make the statement that you did. Sarah Hurst on the other hand has a criminal history more than likely she has a low credit score and comes from a poor family. which is why Mr Hochman took advantage of her. Sarah Hurst is a victim which people may seem to think shes not becouse of her conviction of prostitution. But, the last time i checked they still have rights too. I believe her, every single word of it!! I noticed that alot of her criminal history was befor she had her daughter. People make mistakes, even very stupid mistakes. But, that dont make her a lier and that dont give coleman hochman the right to take advantage of that. since there are other women who have had the same missadvantage done to them for years, and years. they havent come forward becouse of shame, the same position sarah is in whatever reason it may be. PLEASE, come forward and help this lady.
And by the way, whenever i look up colman hochman family and partners. All i see is lawsuit after lawsuit. There are so many lawsuits agianst these people that I dont know how they even get people to rent from them. They are clearly slumlords besides the fact that Colman is a sexual prediter.Sarah Hurst, just a little note to you. Besides the sexual lawsuit agianst Colman Hochman family and partners, you probably also have a lawsuit for the conditions of the apartment as well. I understand how you feel and I have been in the same situation that you have been in, thats why im glad that you are takeing a stand agianst these people, becouse i never had the nobs to, as (Nina) put it. they are people who dont care about nothing but themselves and they sure dont care about their tenants, or their workers either. Sarah I prey for you, and you have hundreds of people preying for you to win this lawsuit.SO, PLEASE even if its a worker,another tennant,even a woman he has done this to. know matter if you have a criminal history or just ashamed and want to forget about it. This woman needs you to help her,and makeing a sexual prediter be know so he can never do this to another woman agian.And while he is trying to act inoccent.I looked up where he was arrested for solicitation of prostitution before, Mr prediter must have slimed his way out of that charge.I feel like that whole company or partnership should crash into the ground.
He grabed my hand and said that he had erectile disfuction and said that he just wanted to play with a woman sexually and get head. But told me that It wouldnt get hard. I jerked my hand away from him testicals and told him not to ever do that agian.
And by the way, I never even new about the family and partnership. He made me think that I was just renting from him alone.I had transportation, I could have mailed money orders.My daughters father called him and confronted him, he apologized and said that it would never happen agian. So Ronald told him from then on not to come to the apartment unless he was there as well. they made an agreement that Ronald would meet him somewhere and pay the rent like that, and if anything was went wrong with the apartment that they would come while he was there as well.the next month ronald called Mr Hochman to pay him the rent and he didnt answer. He came to the apartment with me there alone with my child, despite the agreement.We NEVER new of a partnership or anywhere to send money orders until on day a lady by the name of Alyse called and told us about it.Things started going wrong with the apt,ceiling leaking in hallway. mold and mildew on the ceiling in the hallway. the kithchen sink leaking. Ronald called colman several times about it. He wouldnt fix nothing. We even sent him a certified letter to them and still nothing got done. the cantral heat/air wasnt working. It got so bad that we decided to call one of his people that comes to fix stuff, the man informed us "Colman dont want us to do NOTHING for you, no matter how bad it is." so we stoped paying rent. In fact the first time he tryed to evict us it was an illegal eviction. The judge told him that the eviction notice wasnt even legal and dismissed the case. The last time he evicted us we went to court, he wanted me to pay him 4 months back rent,the rest of the lease and pay court costs. I took my camra and showed the judge the pics, she looked ay 2 of the 15 that i took and she terminated the lease. And basically I didnt have to pay the lease off, the back rent and colman payed court costs.So you can imagine how bad it was.The pipes in the whole building was very bad.And when he has people that come to fix anything, he has them do the cheapest job possible.The day we where moveing he had a company over there fixing all the pipework and plumming.5 people moved the last month that i was there, all with the same problems with the apartments as mine, exept for the sexual part.
If the allegations against Coleman are true, why not file criminal charges? Could it be because there's no money in that and it's unlikely the State would pursue the charges. Anyone can file a civil suit. I believe we still have a presumption of innocence principle in this country.
I have rented from Mr. Hochman for 6 months now. He is a gentleman's gentleman in my opinion.
Clearly Nina doesnt no what the h-- she is talking about. Are you a phycologist Nina? What do tou know about women who have been sexually molested as a child, by 3 differant men for that matter, starting at an early age. Just becouse she is an escort now and has made some bad choices becouse of this. That does not give a sexual prediter the right to violate her repeatedly over and over agian after she reapeatedly rejected him and even had to get physical with to get him off of her. and by the way caulewr, are you a man or a woman. And I dont care or believe a word that just came out of your mouth becouse this idiot sexually assulted me in front of my 3 year old child for months and months. and the fact that he is completely denying it when I have a taped conversation with him basically admitting to it and other evedince as well. so, caulewr you are renting from a slumlord and enjoying it, are you slum or enjoying it. of course hes not going to try anything now STUPID,hes has too many lawsuits agianst him now to make any mistakes, IDIOT!!!!!!!
And you are a stupid uninformed and oppinated IDIOT!!!!! You have your oppinions and I have mine. by the time im done with this man, he will be a registered sex offinder....
Caulwer or whatever you call yourself. you moved into one of his places after my childs father and I confronted him about sexually assulting me. I dont know if you are a woman or a man. But do you realize that a gentlemens gentleman is a man who goes around haveing sex (trying to in my case) with alot of women?? Or, was you too STUPID to realize that?
I know of men like Colman who think that they can do whatever thay want to and get away with it. I have a female friend that knows him, he sexually grabbed her breast and butt, she continued to politely remove his hands and he still continued untul it got to the point to where she had to start pushing him away. He acted as if I wasnt even there the whole time. I know that Sarah Hurst runs an escort service, but that dont give anybody the right to defile her the way that he did and in front of a child at that!!
Oh, and by the way there are no pending lawsuits agianst Coleman Hochman becouse he pays them all off.
We rented from him twice, the first time I was with my husband, the second time I was single and then my husband and I got back together slowly. It was during the time I was single that he was sooo friendly towards me. He did so many bad things to us and others. He didnt care if anyone knew or saw because with his daughter being an attorney and all of his money there was never anything that stuck or even linked him to any trouble it was all cleared. He is a slumlord and a horrible human being. He is selfish and greedy and a disgrace to Ringgold housing. I hope someone really makes him pay for all the bad he has done to people. He deserves no less!

Movie Info

Martin Tsai(Los Angeles Times): Ultimately the conclusion's raisons d'e seem to be emulating superior movies, from "Deliverance" to "Joy Ride" to "Saw."
Scott Bowles(USA Today): While Creek has more notable frights reminiscent of the 2005 spring, this version tries too hard to constitute a franchise-able serial killer from Down Under, a Mad Max through a machete.
Keith Uhlich(Time Out New York): This Creek has bring dry.
Maitland McDonagh(Film Journal International): A churlish and admirably grueling serial-killer thriller, this Australian bring into is also repetitive and ultimately a small dull.
Witney Seibold(Nerdist): Its grindhouse seek reference of the case will be enough for some audiences, no more than I sometimes require more of a specification to be made other than "It hurts whenever outback psychopaths stab you a bump."
Laura Clifford(Reeling Reviews): Jarratt's outer Outback schtick is designed to perplex, but even without the soft take a bribe for approach, the genius of Mclean's nomination is that he's portion and parcel of the brutal rural scene.
Christopher Schobert(The Playlist): While the party ~ and film as a whole are not entirely lucky, there is much to admire in Wolf Creek 2, not the in the smallest degree if which is director Greg McLean's chutzpah.

Rob Vaux(Mania.com): Sooner or later, you be the subject of to serve up something more compelling than some abattoir. For Wolf Creek 2, that's the alone purpose of the exercise.

While Pixie follows Peaches and poses for Agent Provocateur, this week we welcome another celeb-offspring to the wonderful world of S/S '09 fashion campaigns. 19 year-old Dakota Fanning is the daughter of Working Girl, Melanie Griffiths and Miami Vice'r, Don Johnson. Since signing to IMG models last year and then appearing on the pages of Vogue, Dakota has been on the edge of model recognition for some time, but it is Mango who is bringing her to the public eye.
The face of Mango jeans, the gorgeous teenager looks as nymph-like as her mum did back in the days of Night Moves, complete with a smack of red lippy and expertly tousled hair. However, Acto Non Verba (Act, don't talk), the motto of the United States merchant marines is clearly read tattooed up her arm - hmm, does she have an employment history that we don't know about?

Bloggytown, The Gist
It's Good Friday and you're itching to get out of the office, but you've still got a little bit longer 'til the end of the day. We hope these links will make the last few hours a little easier for you:
1. Did you know that snails lived in a magical world? Ukrainian photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko took an incredible series of up close and personal photos showing snails going about their daily lives. You can check out the entire series here. They are pretty damn amazing.
2. After observing what probably seemed like millions of lectures during their MFA program, Jasmine Johnson & Alice May Williams started noticing repeated hand gestures. Once they noticed them the first time, the gestures started popping up in lectures by all different kinds of speakers. The two MFA students turned these gestures into a website: A Glossary of Gestures for Critical Discussion.
3. Easter's on Sunday. If you want to (ironically or not) visit the Holy Land Experience this weekend to celebrate, here are 19 things you can do at the attraction and keep your heathen status intact.
4. Yes, failed food porn's been done before. One look at Cake Wrecks and, well, you'll fall down a rabbit hole filled with shitty cakes. Cooking for BAE (Before Anyone Else) gathers the worst of what Instagrammers think are the best of of their epicurean offerings. Except, they're not. The best part is the commentary and comments. But seriously, wtf is that?! It's not French toast.
5. This will totally make you think twice about who you're friends with on Facebook. Facebook is rolling out a new feature called "Nearby friends". It's exactly as it sounds: You'll be able to login to Facebook and see which of your friends are near you at any given time. This will take Facebook stalking your ex to a whole new level, so just stop it already, you creep.

the tablet looks great! But is an iPad better then a tab?
Despite its obvious shortcomings, the Telstra T-Touch Tab is a reasonable multimedia device and Google's Android operating system is far less restrictive than Apple's iPad/iPhone platform. The T-Touch Tab is effectively alone as an affordable, entry-level tablet that doesn't skimp on too many features.
Retailing for just $299, Telstra's T-Touch Tab is one of the first Android tablets to launch in Australia. Its 7in resistive display isn't as impressive as the capacitive touchscreens used by the Apple iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Its performance also isn't as impressive as more expensive tablets, and its battery life is poor; however, the T-Touch Tab remains good value despite its quirks.
Check out the roundup of the Best tablets for Christmas in our holiday gift guide.
How does the Telstra T-Touch Tab compare to the benchmark? Read our Apple iPad review.
The Telstra T-Touch Tab won't win any design awards, but the device feels sturdy enough and reasonably well constructed. The Huawei-built tablet is a lot heavier than it looks, but can be held comfortably with a single hand (unlike the larger iPad). We particularly liked the flip-out stand on the rear, which is great for watching videos, as well as the physical home, menu and back keys on the left side of the display. There is also an optical trackpad that is similar to the one found on the latest BlackBerry smartphones. It is perfectly positioned when you hold the T-Touch Tab with two hands.
Build quality is reasonable for a device at this price, aside from the rear battery cover, which doesn't always click into place correctly. The T-Touch Tab has a proprietary port at the bottom that Telstra says will allow future development of accessories, including docks, cases and chargers. One design annoyance is the fact the T-Touch Tab doesn't charge via a standard micro-USB port, instead using a separate power connection. We liked the microSD card slot at the bottom of the device; it is easy to swap cards and doesn't require the rear cover to be removed like with most smartphones. Telstra includes a 2GB card in the sales package.
The Telstra T-Touch Tab has a built-in kickstand that makes it ideal for watching video content.
The weakest aspect of the Telstra T-Touch Tab is its 7in resistive touchscreen, which isn't as responsive as a capacitive screen. It is particularly annoying when scrolling through Web pages or menu lists, and selecting linked text in applications like Facebook is hit and miss. Once you get used to employing a bit more force than usual when tapping or swiping, the experience improves, though it still isn't as slick as its higher priced rivals. On a positive note, the resolution of 800x480 pixels makes text relatively crisp, although viewing angles are poor, as is legibility in sunlight — the screen is quite reflective and is hard to see if you are viewing it off centre.
The Telstra T-Touch Tab runs the 2.1 version of Google's Android operating system. Android 2.1 hasn't been designed for a tablet, so some apps do not display correctly on the larger-than-usual 7in screen. We tested the official Twitter app for Android, the DoubleTwist music app, PaperToss and Shazam, and none of them would display in landscape mode. The Facebook app also reverts to portrait mode when in the main menu, though your news feed and profile will display in both orientations. Telstra says the T-Touch Tab "should" be upgradeable to the latest 2.2 "Froyo" version of Android, but this version hasn't been designed with a larger screen in mind either. Despite this issue, most apps we tested displayed correctly and fitted the larger screen without any issues.
the tablet looks great! But is an iPad better then a tab?
Hi , i have bought one tablet , and it is great ,but i think it has 2 serious downfalls ,.1( the USB ports are on the bottom as it stands .
2( alongside the screen those liners dents easily .
Sorry las, the usb port is on the side, the port on the bottom is docking, go back and read the article.
I'm a man and this device was designed with men ln mind. It is very practical, robust and well priced. I have an e71 phome but bought this to access wifi an have a better internet experience on the go. You have to touch the screen a little harder than others but on the stand it's heavy enough that it won't slide away. IMO the stand is its best feature as you work it looking directly into the screen. Battery goes a full 4 hours for me if I adjust brightness to 50% which is still very bright. All fuctions are quickly acessed and the main screens you can flick to hold all the apps you could ever need.
For the price it's a bargain and its size is a perfect balance between a too small iphone and a too large full tablet
@frank, got one yesterday. I took me a while to realize that there is a pen that comes with the device as well (look at the back). this means you don't have to press as hard, also if you disable the wireless and blue-tooth, you should be to get more battery life.
I like to know where I can buy acessories for my t touch tablet. Like a protective cover and screen shields.
I bought this so that I can listen to financial radio programs while traveling. I'm deeply disapointed to find out that thus far the files I've been downloading to listen have been cut off at the 10 minute mark. Can someone answer me why this is so and how I can get around it?
For people who want this device for basic uses, checking my mail, facebook, banking etc I have no problem with it's functionality, interface or features.
this is a good tablet but is ridiculus charging system , im finding it impossible to get another charger for it even telstra dont have them. I know its a 3.2mm tip but no one in nsw stocks them so far , i have tried the motorola tip that fits and it still doesnt charge . hopeless.
I am also finding it impossible to get another charger. Telstra are MOST unhelpful. It is so important to be able to replace a charger for your phone if needs be. Feeling quite angry about this product now.
Goto Radio Shack and get a cig lighter charger there, I have one, works great. They have multipule tips that will fit this unit.
Protective screen cover can be cut from any I pad screen kit. Just measure and cut. using a paper cutter works great. You will find the Tab much more functional with its cameras and ability to make phone calls too. This unit is nothing more that an Huawei s7 Smakit. Same animal. Great device for the money! Got Mine At Best Buy! I never thought I would trade my iphone for an android product but I have been converted, I hate Itunes!
Does anyone know if I can load and rename photos from my Dig. Camera via the mini SD card on to this device?
I don't know why it was accepted in the market.... it gives a big problem to the user.... I got one and I had trouble in charging this device.
hi people i have just brought one of these seconhand and it doesnt have a wall charger im on the mornington peninsula frankston are of melbourne can anyone help me where i may be able to get one from many thanks
Hi there lm after a Telstra TTab wall charger any ideas off where l can get one? Thanking you
I have just got one of these...where do you put the sim card to use the phone feature...I got it 2nd hand and didn't get any manuals. Can anyone help plz.
when you need to replace the charger for this tab it is likely that your tab is stuffed up and not the charger as the pin inside the charger slot can become unstable very easy! this is very annoying when trying to charge as you must put it in the right angle and yes i bought a new charger and same thing i had to put it at a certan angle
When I read smashing comments here I really surprised. This little monster is one of the best 7 inch + 3G tablets on the market. It is a phone. Considering the price and specifications together, it is maybe the best.. I am using S7 as my main phone now. Much better than iPhone imho..
Mine has Android 2.2, flash and everthing else work flawlessly. There is absolutely no lag between screens and not clunky during application usage at all. I am not sure people are having difficulties but mine works perfect although it is full of programs & games now (only 3.5mb space left on internal disk).
The main minus about this unit is the battery life. If you actively use internet, checking mails, playing games, etc. you are in trouble because battery drains in about 2 hours if you constanly use 3G and/or wireless connection. Also the screen resolution is 800x480.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Tuesday, February 5, 2013
The FBI says the Alabama man who held a 5-year-old boy captive in an underground bunker for nearly a week engaged in a "firefight" with SWAT agents before he was killed during a rescue operation.
Special Agent Jason Pack said in an email that it also appears 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes "reinforced the bunker against any attempted entry by law enforcement."
Pack said bomb technicians found two explosive devices Tuesday on the property. He said one was inside the bunker, the other was located inside the plastic pipe through which he had been talking with negotiators
Officers killed Dykes on Monday, six days after he boarded a school bus, fatally shot the driver and abducted the young boy.

A recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine says CPR with chest compressions alone could be just as effective as using mouth-to-mouth breathing.
EMS responders and dispatchers in our area use the CPR procedure that combines chest compressions and breathing. EMS responders in Lincoln County say they're discussing the new procedure.
"I think for the most part, it's been a process of eliminating difficult steps and making it easier for the lay person to do it," says Steve Peterson, Merrill firefighter.
The American Heart Association is one of the groups that regulate CPR guidelines. They still believe that chest compressions and mouth to mouth breathing increase chances for survival.
