The Death of 'Green' and Plan B for Science Communications
Bob Lalasz is director of science communications for The Nature Conservancy.
Maybe the most surprising thing about the demise of The New York Times' Green blog was that…so many people were surprised by it.
When I attended the ScienceOnline 2013 conference in late January — an annual gathering of digitally savvy scientists and science reporters and communicators held at North Carolina State University — everybody I talked to about Green thought its death was a foregone conclusion.
That's because the Times had dissolved its environment desk earlier that month, and paying the desk's two editors to essentially manage a blog is a rather dear expense in today's precarious newspaper environment.
Still, the Twitterverse erupted in howls when the news finally leaked out last Friday. Bora Zivkovic, the irrepressible blogs editor for Scientific American, summed up the agony:
(Background: When the Times shut down its environment desk, Bora put forth this long post outlining how its reporters who used to be on environmental beats could now evangelize with the rest of the news staff to build an environmental newsgathering ethos throughout the paper, with Green as its flagship. It was a nice theory, but newsrooms unfortunately don't really work that way — especially as more and more reporters work from home these days.)
I wasn't surprised when Green got killed, but I was still a little shocked. "Shocked" because, while I saw it coming, the idea of one of the most influential newspapers in the United States giving up its dedicated channel for reporting on energy and the environment is a particularly big tree to fall in the ever-thinning forest of mainstream U.S. environmental journalism.
You probably know the numbers by heart: More than half of all environmental reporting positions at U.S. dailies have been terminated since 2000, and the number of science sections at dailies has fallen from about 150 to fewer than 20.
(And, let's be frank: The shock for many enviros also stems from the Times' reputation as a liberal paper, friendly to environmental concerns. As the thinking goes: If even the Times can't even see fit to keep an environmental blog going, is there any hope of getting our stories back in the mass media?)
Once the shock wears off, though, what does the disappearance of Green mean for environmental science and science communications? It's more complicated than you might think.

They did a far better job than i thought was possible. The grass in the front yard looks like nothing even happened and they took down at least 12 big trees in the front alone. Ed and these guys are... true pros.VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »
Dear Ed, Thank you for a great job from start to finish. As a former contractor I truly appreciated how professional you and your crew performed. In a time of dwindling contractors you can trust... with your home, you are a true find.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Rigby�s Expert Tree Care. Talk about a company exceeding expectations. The owner, Ed Rigby is an extremely knowledgeable arborist who has been a Master Tree Cutter for over 40 years. Ed and I walked my property; he answered my concerns while pointing out problem areas I had never noticed. After we agreed on a fair price, the real fun began. Watching his crew perform was a combination of Cirques du Soleil and a NASCAR pit crew; it was poetry in motion performed with the urgency of a Daytona 500 pit stop. Ed, thank you and your crew for a job well done.

I have known Ed Rigby for over 30 years. I have used his tree service numerous times over the years. I have always had excellent results. He has left the property clean and in excellent condition.
We have used Rigby�s Expert Tree Care several times over the years and they always exceed our expectations. They know what they�re doing, they work hard, and they leave our property neat and clean. Ed Rigby and his crews have done everything for us from removing huge trees to vista pruning. He is an expertly skilled arborist with the eye of an artist. Ed brings his knowledge, experience, and professionalism to every job, large or small. We trust Ribgy�s to do the job right and we wouldn�t use anyone else.
Great crew, great care taken to do the job well.My property looked better at the end of the day's work than it has in the ten years I have owned it. Would recommend Mr. Rigby's service to anyone needing trees trimmed, shaped or removed! You will also get great advice on general care of your trees and ornamentals. Professional work done in a professional manner!

A few weeks back we had storms with very high winds. A result of the high winds caused a large limb from a Bradford Pear tree to fall on the building. Rigby's crew responded that day which is very unusual in the tree business. They successfully got the limb off the building as well as cut the Brandford tree down. The following day they came to remove two other Bradford pear trees from our property. Once again, Rigby's Tree Service responded quickly and professional and got the job done! ~Congregation Beth Hallel, 950 Pine Grove Road, Roswell, GA 30075
I had three large trees that needed to come down this summer when tree service companies were very busy. Rigby's gave me the best estimate, found a day for the work that was convenient for me, and did an excellent job taking the trees down in one day. They also found time to respond to my special requests to prune other trees, leave some wood cut to firewood length, and leave wood chips where I needed them. I was very pleased with their service.

I just had them remove a tree from my house and cars. They did a very good job removing the tree quickly on a Sunday. They where very professional in explaining everything. They also took a lot of extra care to prevent further damage when removing the tree. I would recommend them.
This man is the epitome of the way people used to do business,honest, very hard working and cares about pleasing his clients. He stays with his team all day- they do great work and clean up after they are done. I give the team a 10 plus.
With 21 massive hardwood trees to remove, saying our house was a daunting project is an understatement. The quotes we were getting were just way too much for our budget to even consider. Ed came out on a friday and gave us a quote (which he did not change one single cent.) VERY knowledgeable and even gave us some great consultation on landscape ideas we were considering. He and his crew showed up the next morning and hit the ground running. Watching these guys work was just amazing. Never seen a crew work with such speed and accuracy in the face of a challenging landscape without slowing down. (these guys earn every red cent!) Ed and his crew pulled off what we thought was the impossible. Thanks to them, we eliminated a serious unknown risk of a 10 -12 ton red oak that was rotting from the inside and could have fallen at anytime on our house that would have been catastrophic. Thanks to Rigby Tree Service for unbelievable service and value. We now have plenty of mulch and some great hickory for firewood!

Great care given to existing landscaping and finishing with thorough cleanup. We recommend this company and encourage you to use them...we definitely will. The owner, Ed Rigby, is on the site with his team all day. His prices are fair and he's a fun and friendly guy. They actually make taking down huge trees look easy. Awesome group of men!

Ed and his crew have been fantastic! A 70 foot tall black oak fell blocking our driveway and he showed up within 15 minutes on a Saturday morning. Not only did they do a great job with that tree but he gave me a nice deal on 4 other trees that needed to be removed. I also got an education on the trees all over my property. These guys are great and cleaned up the yard nicely after and clearly take pride in their service! I highly recommend Rigby Expert Tree Care!! Kevin
About 12 years ago, I needed about 20 pine trees cut out of my yard. I asked around Roswell and Ed Rigby's name repeatedly came up. I have used Rigby's Tree Service since then on several occasions. Ed is a Master Arborist, a technical expert, and an artist. He tried to convince me years ago that I should have a large poplar taken out of my back yard. I said, "No" and three years later, the tree was through my house. I don't argue with him anymore! As I begin construction on my new house on a wooded lot, you can bet that I'll have Ed and his guys out there first, helping me decide which trees to keep and which ones will go. After years of great service and friendship, I would not recommend anyone else. Rigby's Expert Tree Care is by far the best around.

Describe eye contact between two people attracted to each other? Thanks!
How would you explain eye contact when you're attracted to each other? I met this guy who works at the gym and when we talked to each other we made intense eye contact. Our eyes never broke contact... An normally doesn't someone look away at some point of the conversation? Also his eyes seems to get bigger/wider. To me, it felt like we were really looking into each others eyesJust wondering what to look for. I found him really attractive so I hope I wasn't imaging it!

Michigan City Sanitary District Completes IDEM Compliance Plan
Michigan City Mayor Ron Meer knows how important Lake Michigan is to his community. The Mayor believes Michigan City is poised to be a gateway city, and protecting her waterways has been a major priority of his administration. Mayor Meer said, "Through extensive partnerships, collaborations and strategic planning initiatives, my administration has demonstrated a willingness to disclose and correct environmental problems. My team champions a culture that promotes safety and compliance by exploring various ways to achieve environmental results and making them a routine part of their everyday work."
On September 19, 2014 the Michigan City Sanitary District (District) completed the last remaining task of their Compliance Plan mandated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The next step for the District will be to demonstrate six (6) consecutive months of full compliance with their National Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and any special provisions of the Agreed Order.
This compliance demonstration began on October 1, 2014, and will run through March 31, 2015. If the District can demonstrate full compliance, it is likely that IDEM will close out the Agreed Order.
The Compliance Plan was developed and sent to the state for approval on April 30, 2012. By that time, the District was already on its way to implementing several of the items contained in the plan. Initially the Compliance Plan contained 89 items, but in July 2013, General Manager, Michael Kuss added ten (10) new items to the Compliance Plan. "These items were necessary to meet the ultimate goal of environmental protection and quality service to the citizens of Michigan City," Kuss said.
Kuss is still working on the total cost of the 99 item Compliance Plan Implementation, but it will be in the neighborhood $13,000,000.
Two of the most important aspects of the Compliance Plan were the acquisitions of new equipment and vehicles and improvements to the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. In early 2012, Kuss and the Sanitary District were faced with the reality of nonfunctioning Sewer Cleaning Machines, nonfunctioning Sewer Video Taping Equipment, numerous other vehicles and equipment beyond the state of repair, and an IT infrastructure that was on the verge of catastrophic collapse. The District spent approximately $2,100,000 on vehicles and equipment and $311,000 upgrading its IT infrastructure.
Some of the most notable projects and improvements completed during this almost 3 year compliance plan mandate included:
Another highlight of the Compliance Plan implementation was the inter-departmental and inter-governmental cooperation exhibited and achieved with other Departments and Governmental Entities. Cooperation is a hallmark of the Meer Administration and nowhere is this more evident than with the Sanitary District. The new sewers installed in Elston Grove ($1,100,000) was a cooperative effort with the Redevelopment Commission, the new sewer line along Trail Creek ($846,000) was a cooperative effort with the Water Department, the completion of the Lake Avenue Lift Station, Bath House, and California Parking Lot Improvement Project ($1,200,000) was a cooperative effort with the Parks Department, and the new Automatic Bar Screen at the State Prison was a $1,500,000 cooperative effort with the State of Indiana. This project, funded entirely by the State of Indiana, will keep enormous amounts of debris out of the District's sewer system and will likely do more to ensure compliance than another other single project.
"We are striving to improve Michigan City as quickly as possible to provide our citizens and visitors with a high quality of life now - not later, but now. The only way to do that is to aggressively fix and correct problems and implement improvements as quickly as possible," Mayor Meer stated. "The District under Kuss' leadership exemplifies that it can be done!"
Additionally, Mayor Meer is quick to point out that Kuss did not stop with the Compliance Plan. He volunteered the District to become active member of the Northwest Indiana Partners for Clean Air and has helped to reduce air pollution by spearheading a plan to design and construct a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Refueling Station and use $300,000 of Federal grant money to help purchase a CNG Sewer Cleaning Machine – the first in the State of Indiana. He has implemented significant major corrective actions at Karwick Nature Park, he has secured grant money to evaluate stormwater controls for the Cheney Run Storm Sewer, he has implemented a Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) Control Plan for Michigan City that is receiving high marks from State Regulators, and he organized the Conference on the Environment that was held at Blue Chip Casino and Spa on June 5, 2014.
This conference was attended by over 150 people and showcased many of the exciting improvements implemented and planned for Michigan City including the Lake Michigan Gateway Implementation Plan.
Furthermore, Kuss has implemented many other significant changes at the District that will improve efficiency and save money. For instance in 2012 he began personally coordinating the District's bio-solids disposal instead of using a contractor. This one change alone has saved the District over a quarter of a million dollars to date. The fiscal responsibility does not stop there. He has been able to complete all of these improvements and increase the cash balances in the District's Operating Fund and Improvement Fund, from dangerously low levels that frighten municipal rate consultants, to normal levels that will not only sustain compliance but provide for the opportunity to replace equipment as needed after it has reached its useful life.
Mayor Meer stated, "This is been a difficult process for the District in many ways, but it's also impressive how quickly the turnaround was achieved. Everyone at the Sanitary District deserves a pat on the back. Board President, Michael Gonder, City Engineer Charles Peller, current Board Members Frank Harris, Gary Mitchell and Holt Edinger, along with former Board Members Keith Harris and Phil Jankowski must be commended for their commitment to success. District Attorney, James B. Meyer certainly deserves special recognition for his involvement in the process as well." "This was a total team effort."
2015 Fireworks Display
Mayor Ron Meer announces that he is prepared to lift the moratorium on the Michigan City Fireworks display in 2015 as a part of the Michigan City Summer Fest schedule as long as the criteria listed below is met.
Mayor Meer states that, "In order to provide our Michigan City Police and Fire Departments an adequate amount of time to plan, coordinate and deliver the necessary public health and safety services to our citizens and visitors during this event, I am mandating that proof of all funding and permits be submitted to my office no later than April 1, 2015."

City of Michigan City and Artspace Advance Uptown Artspace Lofts Project With Tax Credit Award
Michigan City, Indiana has received the long awaited news regarding federal tax credits for the Michigan City Artspace project. And it's good news!
The Uptown Artspace Lofts at the Warren Building project was awarded an estimated $10 million dollars of federal tax credits that will move the project into the construction stage later this year.
The proposed project will be a full historic renovation of 44 affordable artist live-work spaces and commercial retail and gallery space.
A team made up of representatives of the national non-profit developer Artspace, working side by side with Michigan City officials, received the news Thursday morning at an Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority meeting.
"This award confirms what we have believed throughout this journey, that Michigan City, Indiana is the next great economic opportunity on Lake Michigan," Mayor Ron Meer said upon hearing the news.
"I would like to thank Governor Pence, Lt. Governor Ellspermann, and the IHCDA for this award of tax credits and for recognizing the important revitalization opportunities in downtown Michigan City," Meer said. Meer was also quick to point out help from State Senator Jim Arnold who continues to be a strong advocate for downtown Michigan City.
"This was a team effort. We are beaming with pride in Michigan City to be the first Artspace project in the State of Indiana," Meer continued.
The project will infuse an estimated $12 million dollars in funds to redevelop the iconic Warren Building, a six story vacant structure on historic Michigan City's main downtown thoroughfare, Franklin Street.
Councilman Tim Bietry made the initial call to invite Artspace to Michigan City in 2008, which led to a pre-development contract with Artspace, the largest non-profit developer of artist spaces in the country.
A City team that included Bietry, Mayor Ron Meer, former Mayor Chuck Oberlie, Redevelopment Commission President Ken Behrendt, Councilman Rich Murphy, and City Planning Director Craig Phillips worked with Artspace representatives for more than three years to achieve the tax credit award.
Bietry said on Thursday, "This is an example of what can be achieved when talented people who want the best for their community step forward and work together."
Artspace President Kelley Lindquist acknowledged the very competitive process for obtaining the tax credits.
"With 44 tax credit applications filed and only 15 funded in this round, we're thrilled to be able to move to the next step in this process and grateful to the IHCDA for recognizing the value of this project," Lindquist said. "We're proud to be part of Michigan City's commitment to redevelop downtown and are confident that this project and the arts will contribute greatly to those efforts."

Texting and Driving - $150.00 FINE - A Simple Explanation
Cell phone use - especially texting - has become so ingrained in society that far too many people ignore the NO TEXTING AND DRIVING LAW.
The Michigan City Police are noticing more and more of this on a regular basis and now with the busy shopping season and fast approaching dangerous driving weather upon us and we are warning citizens of not only the dangers yet the fact that citations will be issued.
57 percent of Americans view their cellphones as key to their social life, and most view texting as a vital feature. Yet to mix this activity with driving is statistically extremely dangerous.
Specifically, the Indiana distracted driving law (IC 9-21-8-59) prohibits drivers from typing a text message, transmitting the message or reading an electronic mail message. This also means all drivers regardless of age are prohibited from texting or surfing on the internet even when stopped for a traffic light.
Cell Phones
Drivers under 18 – are prohibited from using cell phones (handheld or hands-free) while driving. PERIOD
All Indiana drivers NO MATTER WHAT AGE are prohibited from texting while driving
How is it Enforced?
Indiana's cell phone and texting laws are considered "primary" laws. A primary law means that an officer can pull you over for the offense without having to witness some other violation. That is, the officer sees you texting and can pull you over immediately and issue a citation. The citation will cost you $150.00 and is tripled in a construction zone!

Michigan City Named Tree City USA Community
Mayor Ron Meer, is proud to announce that for the 12th consecutive year, Michigan City, Indiana has been named a Tree City USA community for its commitment to urban forestry.
This is a national honor, bestowed upon Michigan City by the Arbor Day Foundation, the nation's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees.
"We all benefit when communities like Michigan City place a high priority on planting and caring for trees, one of our nation's most beautiful resources," said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Trees shade our homes and add beauty to our neighborhoods, and they also provide many environmental, economic and social benefits. We applaud Michigan City's elected officials, volunteers, and citizens for providing vital care for its urban forest."
Michigan City has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community. Tree City USA communities must have a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a community forestry program with annual expenditures of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
Communities that earn Tree City USA recognition not only have taken the time to meet the four standards, they know that trees:
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
Streetlight Outage Reporting
Mayor Ron Meer, in conjunction with NIPSCO, would like to inform the public of an online option available to them in reporting a streetlight outage.
www.nipsco.com/streetlightout is an interactive website designed to allow the public an easier, faster, and much more efficient means of reporting a streetlight outage. When a person accesses the website, they can report a streetlight outage with just three simple steps.
Mayor Meer asks the public to please utilize this method of reporting when possible. This website will eliminate steps in the reporting process and generate an immediate online report directly to NIPSCO. However, for those who do not have internet access, you are encouraged to please call Central Services at 873-1500. Central Services will then enter and submit the information on your behalf.
Mayor Meer would like to thank you for your help. A well lit Michigan City is a safer and more appealing place for both our citizens and visitors.

Free Prescription Drug Card Program
As a resident of Indiana, you and your family have access to a FREE Prescription Drug Card program. Simply download your Prescription Drug Card here to receive savings of up to 75% at more than 50,000 national and regional pharmacies. You may create as many cards as you need. Participating pharmacies include the following: Target, Kmart, CVS/pharmacy, Walgreens, Meijer, Kroger as well as thousands of independent pharmacies.
Discounts range in price from 10-70% but average about 30%. It is NOT insurance...it's a membership program, but like insurance you get a card that you show at the pharmacy and they can calculate your discount.
For people with insurance or Medicare, this can work with them as well. Because it is NOT insurance, members would be able to see if they get a better price with their existing insurance or with the card. Usually, the co-pay through insurance will be better, but not always. So having the card could be helpful even to people that already have insurance. (Not to mention many individuals and businesses are going to high deductible plans that don't cover prescriptions.)
This benefit is sponsored by United Networks of America a national healthcare company in conjunction with a consortium of the pharmaceutical companies. This exact program has launched successfully in 30 states over the last 2 years. UNA expects the program to discount over 20,000,000 prescriptions in 2009 for tens of millions of American families when they need help the most.
The membership program may not meet everyone's need but offers an inexpensive alternative for many. Click here for frequently asked questions about the program.

Are You In Compliance With New City Trash Regulations?
Setting out your weekly trash pickup may seem like a fairly simple mundane task. However, have you considered if you are actually doing so in accordance with recently updated city trash regulations? Are you using city trash containers --- or just placing bags along the curb? If you are using trash containers, great! But are they in compliance with city trash regulations? Are you remodeling a home or building a new one? If you are, what are you doing with the construction rubbish?
If you're unfamiliar with city regulations on trash containers and construction waste, are curious about what it looks like to be in compliance and not in compliance with the recently revised city trash regulations, or have any questions about city trash regulations, compliancy, or trash pick-ups, click here to learn more.
Rental Property Smoke Detector Enforcement
The City of Michigan City and the Michigan City Fire Department have begun the implementation of recently enacted Michigan City Ordinance #4020, which regulates smoke detectors for rental properties.
The Fire Department Administration would like to remind all owners of rental property in Michigan City that a two-step process has been enacted to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Michigan City. First of all, all residential rental units shall be equipped with smoke detectors. And secondly, a registration requirement has been enacted stating that owners of property which is used as residential rental dwelling units or contains a rental dwelling unit are required to register all such properties with the Michigan City Fire Department.
The passage of Ordinance #4020 included an initial 45-day registration period and owners who have not yet registered their properties should do so immediately. After this initial registration period following the passage of the Smoke Detectors for Rental Properties Ordinance earlier this year, owners shall be required to register all such properties on an annual basis, by January 31st of each year. Additionally, for new owners of rental property at any point throughout the year, registration is required within 30 days of becoming an owner of the real property to be used as residential rental property or rental dwelling units.
Rental property smoke detector registration forms can be obtained electronically over the internet at http://www.emichigancity.com/cityhall/departments/fire/, or they can be obtained in person from the Fire Department Administrative Office at 2510 East Michigan Boulevard.
Anyone with questions regarding smoke detectors for rental properties can contact Kyle A. Kazmierczak, Division Chief of Inspections, at (219) 873-1453 or Jeff Santana, Assistant Inspector, at (219) 873-1440.

Tuesday, 11/4/14 12-1pm
SETI Institute Colloquium Series, Mountain View
It has been proposed that in Gale Crater, where the Curiosity rover landed in August 2012, lakes developed to various depths after the large central mound (informally referred to as Mt. Sharp) had evolved to a form close to its current topography. Using a combination of CTX and HiRISE imagery and CTX, HiRISE and HRSC topography, we have documented a sequence of rising and falling lake levels, thereby providing a possible relative timeline of the hydrologic events within Gale crater.

The I-130 interview will be only focused on the good faith nature of the marriage. The other issues - the entry with a fraudulent passport, the old removal case - those all go to whether or not he can adjust his status. If the prior removal was not related to a criminal matter, it is unlikely that ICE would pick him up at the I-130 interview. However, your attorney is going to have far more information and will be able to give you a much better idea of what to expect with the I-130 interview.
Selected as best answer
Typically affidavits of friends and family are given relatively little weight, and are usually used in cases where there is reason to suspect marriage fraud. Other evidence of the good faith nature of the marriage is going to be more important.
12 lawyers agreed with this answer
You will need to obtain a certified court docket. You may also really want to consider having an attorney review your filing prior to filing for adjustment. You should have your criminal record and immigration history available prior to a consultation.
10 lawyers agreed with this answer
You will want to set a consultation to review both the risks and potential benefits of applying, and the likely chance of success versus the potential outcome in the event of a denial. You will want to obtain a copy of the court record before setting a consulation.

No, there is no deadline to apply for citizenship. It is often a good idea to file as soon as you are eligible to do so, but it is not required. Some people opt to remain greencard holders for decades.

1 person marked this answer as helpful
An investment in property alone would not be sufficient. An investment or creation of a business that would create ten jobs can lead to an investment based greencard. You may have other options to explore as alternatives to employment based greencards, depending upon your work history and funds available for investment.

You will both be happiest if you assume it may take anywhere from 5 - 10 months. There can and often are various delays during the process. If he has not already done so, hiring an immigration attorney will be a very good idea.

Take the order from the immigration judge in to your local USCIS office. You may need to set an infopass appointment. They should start card production for you.

The whole of your experience will be looked at in determining whether your skill set satisfies the position requirements, and whether the position requirements meet the standards for an H-1b as a specialty occupation. If over all your experience satisfies the requirements, that some of that experience was acquired at a community college should not be a significant issue.

I am not clear if you have the approval notice and want a full copy of the filing, or if you need to have the filing for consular processing, or if there is another situation. If an attorney was used, you can typically see the attorney name on the approval notice and can contact the attorney office for a copy.

Merchant & Mills Camber Set Tee
Chambray Union Stretch
Liberty of London Stanley for the yoke lining and neck binding
Here's my very first Camber Set Tee. For this version, I added a few inches to the length. I'm so used to tunic style tops that I automatically think I want a top to be longer. I wore it that way for a few months, but the funny thing is that I recently chopped off about 5 or 6 inches. I wanted to wear it with a skirt one day and I didn't have any short tops that sit closer to the waistline. This is the luxury of sewing. When your personal style changes, you can change the garment the match.
One detail on the Camber that I like is the opportunity to use a contrast yoke lining and neck binding. I used some Liberty of London Stanley, which no one will ever see, but always makes me smile. Especially since this Camber appears to be so plain. Sewing secret details makes me happy.
The Chambray Union Stretch is so perfect for a woven tee pattern. Super comfy with a slightly weighty feel. The more I look at these photos, the more I want to make a few more chambray tees. (of varying lengths!)
Check out my printed Camber Set Tee here.
We have all the Merchant & Mills patterns at the workroom!

- Great, as usual!lisalankVIPDined on 11/21/2014What I love about trio is the variety on the menu each week. It's always interesting and always good. It truly is a neighborhood gem that I hope will stay that way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Colleyville GemLSinDFWDined on 11/14/2014This was our fourth dinner at Trio, and it's been fabulous each time. The chef keeps the menu pretty limited, and changes it seasonally. I had the field green salad with a spicy dressing; my friend had the wonderful spinach salad. The fish was excellent, perfectly prepared. It's served with grits (which are wonderful) but I subbed out for the sweet potato spoon bread, which is heaven. It's BYOB (which keeps prices down and enables us to bring a bottle or two or three of great wine from home that we would never pay restaurant prices for). Though we were too full for dessert, from past experiences I can say the desserts are sublime (a pumpkin cheesecake on a recent visit was delicious).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always AwesomeCellarVIPDined on 11/13/2014Local neighborhood restaurant with a top chef. Chef presents fresh and creative dishes. The duck trio appetizer was his latest creation that everyone consumed. Service is top notch. I love the fact I can bring my own wines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Jolly RJollyDined on 11/8/2014Another wonderful meal at Trio. This is another one of our "go too" restaurants for truly great innovative food. It's BYOB , so if your inclined to have a little wine with your meal don"t leave home without it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingDfwfoodieDined on 11/6/2014The food is absolutely amazing no matter what you choose to eat here. Waitresses and waiters are very friendly and accommodating.Special Features:
- love the foodKarenDined on 10/31/2014and the presentation of the food is very nice too; my husband and I ordered the two specials; delicious!Special Features:
- Excellent meal and ambience.JulieCDined on 10/18/2014The menu is creative and delicious! The music was perfect. We truly enjoyed our meal, the service and the atmosphere. This will be a regular for us.Special Features:
- Best BYOB. Awesome food and serviceBYOB88Dined on 10/18/2014This is by far the best BYOB we have ever been to. My wife and I have been there about 8 times now in the last 3 months and it has always been awesome. They always have great specials.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden GemTxRangerFanDined on 10/17/2014Don't let the strip mall setting fool you, Trio offers truly outstanding food at a reasonable price. There are typically three set dinner options plus a special or you can order from the normal lunch menu. Alcohol is BYOB, so you can have a wonderful dinner with your favorite bottle of wine without paying restaurant markup.Special Features:
- Always DeliciousAnghoughVIPDined on 10/17/2014Let me say that I've always loved every dish at Trio. Their fish incredibly fresh, even the sides are prepared perfectly, their soups are amazing. (I've seen people lined up to buy cartons of their soup to go.) For our most recent visit, my husband had the flatiron steak & I ordered the tuna special. The flatiron steak was crave-able with a dark & savory sauce, the tuna was cooked perfectly, the richest melt-in-your-mouth fish. With this level of food, plus the ability to bring our favorite wine without a corkage fee, Trio is a must.Special Features:
- Local BYOB & love it!LuvmywineDined on 10/11/2014The food was fresh, interesting and the service was outstanding. Best of all it is BYOB! You can bring your best bottle of wine and an incredible meal. This is my new favorite local restaurant!Special Features:
- Weekend Dinner at TrioOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/10/2014Great meal. Fun find in an area with not many options in the way of interesting unique cuisine. We are flooded with chain restaurants around here. AMAZING coconut cream pie!! Definitely worth the calories.Special Features:
- Food was goodFrogDogDined on 10/3/2014It was very smoky when we were there from lack of a good exhaust in the kitchen. The food was good. We thought the ambiance would be better considering the food wasnt cheap. They started putting the chairs up while we were finishing our BYOB wine and a few of the employees were standing there watching for us to leave - which we promptly did.Special Features:
- AlmostNCgirlVIPDined on 9/27/2014Food is amazing! Restaurant is in a strip shopping center and frequented by locals. It is a byob (no liquor license). Try fresh fish special and don't forget dessert. Owner's wife is an amazing pastry chef.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The New Fall Menu is AwesomeDavidGDined on 9/19/2014We dined there the day after the new Fall menu was introduced. Wow! Chef Jason Harper is bringing back his Fish of the Day with Grits. Awesome taste and great presentation. The Chicken Schnitzel was the ultimate in "comfort food" . The Flat Iron Steak was also prepared to perfection with an awesome sauce to really bring out the flavor. As usual his appetizers, salads and desserts are all top notch. The loyal staff is always professional, knowledgeable and eager to make your dining experience wonderful. Trio New American Cafe has quickly become the favorite of many locals. If you wish to dine here book your table early or you might not get in.Special Features:
- Foodies Take NoteDavidGDined on 8/28/2014Why travel to Dallas or Fort Worth when you can enjoy fine dining I the suburbs. Trio's menu is simple but elegant and offers something for everyone. Beef, Chicken, Seafood and Vegetarian options. Be your sommelier and bring your own wine to suit your own palette. Big plus now is add lobster to any part of your meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a treat!naptxDined on 8/23/2014Wonderful to have this restaurant in Colleyville. My husband had the steak and it ranks as one of the best steaks we've ever ordered in a restaurant. Seafood special (sea bass) was very good but not as mind-blowing as the steak. Lemon brulee tart was excellent and came with a vibrantly-flavored and filled tuile. Food is very professionally done, nicely presented. Live music is very nice touch, service was very good. We plan to become regulars.Special Features:

- Awesome Dining ExperienceDavidGDined on 7/24/2014Trio New American Cafe is absolutely one of the area's finest restaurants. The menu has something for everyone. The seafood selection is superb. Presentation is a work of art. Don't stop at the entree, because the salads, appetizers and deserts are equally as good. One of my favorite dining establishments.Special Features:
- Trio Cafe ColleyvilleChrisDined on 7/12/2014We really enjoyed Trio New American Cafe. I read about it in a local magazine, which gave it a good review. I have to agree--the food was great. If you are looking for something different, delicious, fresh, inspiring, etc., then dine at Trio. The service was great, the server explained everything and answered all our questions. The chef came around to our table three times to see how our dinner was. He was very friendly and we enjoyed visiting with him. The restaurant is a little bit off the beaten path. I hope those who read this will seek it out and experience a fine dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and servicethellamabaronDined on 6/21/2014We've tried about everything in Roanoke, Southlake, and Grapevine and saw this place on OpenTable and decided to try it. It is a small place with an unassuming facade in a shopping center near a bike shop, but from the moment we walked in the door we were not disappointed! Our OpenTable reservations were ready (made about an hour before hand) and we had a good booth/table next to the guitar/vocalist that was performing. The music was good - amplified, but not so loud that we couldn't have a regular conversation, even sitting close to him. The food we tried was great and included: black bass, beef filet, field greens, crab won tons, exotic mushrooms, and a fantastic brownie/pistachio ice cream desert. BYOB. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Excellent neighborhood restaurantWoodnutDined on 5/24/2014I have been frequenting Trios for a couple of years now, mostly for dinner. They have 3 fixed items on the menu, beef, chix, and fish, and then they have a few specials. Only once have I not ordered the special and I have never been disappointed. Table mates who have ordered the fixed items have been equally pleased. The special on my last visit was fried Maryland soft shell crab and it was heavenly. Two other things i like about Trios is that you can bring your own wine and you can order a half salad with your meal. Everyone seems to have a favorite salad, mine is the wedge and theirs is the very best.Special Features:
- Great FoodCarGuyDined on 5/15/2014This is a hidden jewel in Colleyville. The food is great and there is always a great special dish. Its BYOB which I love.
- outstandingKarenDined on 5/2/2014this was our 1st visit and we were so happy to find such a special place nearby; the food was incredible; highly recommend and don't forget BYOB; fantastic sever tooSpecial Features:

He's just soapboxing because he just ignores the points you make and responds with subjective personal opinion.

Globally Singapore welcomed 2.7 million visitors in Q1-2010, a 20% increase compared with the same period last year. Of these, 36,511 travellers arrived from the Middle East, with the highest number of visitors coming from Iran, UAE and Saudi Arabia, according to figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
"With the global economy shifting into recovery gear, 2010 has kicked off on a very optimistic note, with arrivals from the Middle East showing that visitors from the region are continuing to discover Singapore's unique tourism appeal. On the back of such a strong start to the year, the Singapore Tourism Board anticipates a double digit growth in overall visitor numbers for 2010," revealed Jason Ong, Area Director for the Middle East and Africa, STB.
2010 signals the emergence of a "Transformed Singapore", with an ever-growing number of global events and the opening of two multi-billion dollar Integrated Resorts, offering families world-class experiences, from the thrills of South East Asia's first Universal Studios theme park at Resorts World Sentosa to the luxurious shopping, and celebrity-chef dining experiences available at Marina Bay Sands.
Singapore has also undergone a brand evolution from 'Uniquely Singapore' to 'YourSingapore', which encapsulates the island nation's position as a premier destination for personalised travel, offering a fascinating range of attractions which are easily accessible and user-centric, empowering travellers to enjoy their own unique experience of Singapore.
"2010 signals the tourism transformation of Singapore, cementing its position as a must-visit destination for families, highly mobile individuals, honeymooners and business visitors. Singapore offers a diverse range of travel experiences, from cosmopolitan city life, high-end indulgences, enchanting beach holidays, world-class dining experiences, luxury shopping, cultural diversity or wildlife encounters – there's something for everyone in Singapore. With all this, and much more on offer, Singapore is the destination to watch out for in 2010," Ong added.
The first phase of Marina Bay Sands launched on April 27, with the opening of 963 hotel rooms, part of the designer shopping mall and convention centre, as well as six celebrity chef restaurants, offering a luxurious experience for all travellers.
The second phase will open on June 23 as part of the property's grand opening celebration, and will see the official launch of the Sands SkyPark and the Event Plaza that runs along Marina Bay, with more shops from the world's leading retailers, additional dining options, and exciting nightlife offerings.
Resorts World Sentosa has been operating at peak capacity since its soft launch in January, and with the opening of Universal Studios theme park on March 18 the resort's popularity has soared. The park features 24 thrilling rides and attractions, including the world's only Madagascar theme park.
The first-ever Youth Olympics Games is taking place between 14-26 of August, a month ahead of Singapore's Formula One night race, the only night race on the F1 race calendar, which runs from the 24-26 September.
STB is forecasting 11.5 million to 12.5 million global visitor arrivals in 2010. Last year Singapore received 9.68 million visitors, of which 117,000 were from the Middle East, a 2.7% growth over 2008.

Patron Saints: Ed Bavaria
Date: March 20, 2013
by: Observer Staff
Ask a Sarasotan what makes our city special and, chances are, the arts is on the top of his or her list. The arts thrive here, and it's because of one group of people — the supporters. If you read Scene and Heard last week, you learned The Observer launched a weekly online video series that spotlights these patrons' stories and the effect they have on the arts.
This week features a man the Sarasota Opera thinks highly of — Ed Bavaria. His iPod is full of nothing other than opera, an art form he's loved since childhood when his mother used to sing arias around the house. He serves on the board of directors for Sarasota Opera, and his donations contributed to the $20 million historic renovation and restoration in 2008. Learn about Bavaria and why he thinks it doesn't get better than Sarasota Opera, here.

Paul Giamatti stars as a struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach who takes in his client's troubled grandson
On Film4: 2 Dec 1:45AM
Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Sam Mendes' take on the world's greatest secret agent.
James Bond's previous adventure (Quantum Of Solace) may have trousered half a billion dollars, but its reputation in the Bond canon is less than stellar, and audiences don't forget such disappointments quickly. Skyfall's mission, then, is clear: restore faith in 007. Like its enduring protagonist, the film cannot afford to fail.
To this end, director Sam Mendes has been recruited to put 007 back where he belongs - on top. The obvious way to achieve this is to return to the tropes associated with the best Bond films. It's a method that's worked repeatedly in the series' history; whenever public opinion turns against him, Bond goes back to basics.
And so Skyfall launches with a terrific pre-title sequence, as Bond demolishes half a Turkish bazaar attempting to capture a minor bad guy before embarking on a stunning, stunt-packed scrap aboard a train. Adele's Shirley Bassey-esque theme kicks in, and we're into the film proper. The entire sequence feels designed to reassure a nervous audience that yes, the Bond you know and love is back.
In actual fact, he's not. Not yet, anyway. Following the events of the pre-title sequence, Bond is a scruffy, stubbly shadow of his former self. And as the film's true villain, Silva (Javier Bardem), reveals his plan to strike at the heart of MI6 - and at M (Judi Dench) herself - it's doubtful that Bond is in any state to take him on. The rest of the film sees a deconstructed hero slowly reconstructed, but not without a price, and the result is a Bond film unlike any other.
It's the blend of familiarity and freshness which ensures Skyfall's success. Mendes and the film's writers understand that it's not just returning to Bond's roots that keeps him alive but it's also the bravery to explore the character's previously unseen emotional levels. The requisite Bond Girls (Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe) and action sequences are present, and even a new Q (Ben Whishaw) pops up to strengthen the link to the past, but they're all secondary to the bold, emotional core of the film: Bond's relationship with M.
With a leading cast at their best and a script that balances thrills and humour with believable characterisation, Mendes delivers a unique entry in the fifty-year-old franchise. It's been a long wait, but it's finally safe to say that Bond is well and truly back.
The Bond cocktail is given another good hard shake, and the result is not just a cracking entry in the franchise but also a fitting tribute to 007 in his fiftieth cinematic year. Cheers!
