What are the must try places in Dallas for people visiting Texas for the first time?
My family and I will be visiting Dallas, Texas for the first time next week. Would appreciate all your suggestions for restaurants that we have to try. Things we need to consider are: we will be with 3 children ages 6 - 12 years old, and we would prefer the really, really good hole-in-the-wall joints.
Thanks in advance!
re: MarcusB
Any type of food. As to the area, I would say more on the Northern part of Dallas.
I'd put BBQ and Tex-Mex high on your list. They're both foods that you can't really get in LA, and they're kid-friendly, too. For Tex-Mex, I'd recommend Matt's Rancho Martinez; with the weather as pleasant as (I'm told) it is, their outdoor patio should be especially pleasant. Another very good bet is Mia's. If those are too far afield, Luna de Noche is pretty good in a pinch.
Unfortunately, there's no stellar Texas BBQ in Dallas. But you can get very good ribs, and pretty decent brisket, at Baker's Ribs. There's one on Greenville right near the Central Market, which, though not a restaurant, is a worthwhile food destination.
Brother's Chicken or Bubba's would be good bets for some fried chicken - the chicken livers at Brother's are tremendous (you squeeze the jalapeno on the liver, and wrap it in a little greasy white bread...). Or if you have the time and inclination you could try to find your way out to Babe's for fried chicken, chicken fried steak, and fried catfish.
Lunch at Vern's is worth the trip, especially if you like banana pudding.
re: ratatosk
Thank you ratatosk! I am going to print this out, and mark all these place in my map!
re: TexasToast
Well I had the three crawfish dinner there and it was good but not great. The etouffee was probably the best part. But if that's the only crawfish you will have all year, it's worth eating at a chain for imo. Especially in season. It's not like Pappadeux is a bad restaurant. Just a little expensive imo. But a lot of people are opposed to any sort of chain, even a "local" one.
re: luniz
Well you have to really like eating crawfish in the rustic style, but as much as I dislike the eating area, Nate's in Addison has the best crawfish in town. Ask for turbo when you order it.
re: Scagnetti
This place really looks interesting! What is it that you don't like with their eating area?
re: Scagnetti
Nates has great seafood and very yummy bread. But sorry folks this time of year the best place to eat bugs is Pappadeux. They have crawfish for $2.95 a pound on Monday and Tuesday's throughout April. There is no place in Dallas that has that great a price for really good quality crawfish.
re: irodguy
Nate's does good gumbo as well (as good as it gets in the DFW area).
I've lived in Dallas for 20+ years and have a 6.5 year old, so I feel qualified to answer this:
SNUFFER'S. Great hamburgers, salads and they are known for their Cheese Fries. A good lunch place with several locations. www.snuffers.com
I agree that Dallas is one of the best cities in the world for Tex-Mex. Problem is, I live in Park Cities (Central Dallas) and not North Dallas, so I don't really know any hole-in-the-wall places up North.
Good luck and have a great trip!
A great Tex Mex hole-in-the-wall up north in Plano is Aparicio's. I liked it better when it was housed in the shack, but I guess the new "fancy" digs are OK.
Jorg's, in Plano as well. Fantastic German food, fantastic atmosphere, just yummy all the way around.
Samui - Delicious Thai in Allen.
Asian Mint - Fantastic Thai Fusion at Forest and 75.
Luna de Noche is fantastic Tex-Mex and has several options up north.
Country Burger in East Plano has one of the better thin-pattied, griddle burgers around. D-lish.
Braums - Great, local ice cream store/hamburger shop chain based in Oklahoma (I believe). The kids will absolutely love it - try the Limeade!
There's tons of other stuff, but apparently people at this office expect me to work. If something else really good strikes my fancy, I'll post again.
re: Epicurious Esquire
>>A great Tex Mex hole-in-the-wall up north in Plano is Aparicio's. I liked it better >>when it was housed in the shack, but I guess the new "fancy" digs are OK.
Well I would hardly call it a "hole-in-the-wall" anymore. Now it's one of the nicer tequila bars in the area. I would agree with you 100% on the fact that they were better when they were a "hole-in-the-wall" at least much more resonable.
re: Epicurious Esquire
i gotta second the braum's notion. they only have stores within one days drive so that everything stays really fresh. they also raise their own dairy and beef cattle and feed them a great organic high-energy feed. its very OK/TX. but keep it simple, admit to yourself it wont be too healthy and get a burger of some sort (chicken aint their specialty). top it off with a shake, then hit the gym.
re: kamaking
i don't know about recommending Braum's to out of staters...the shakes might be a little better than say DQ but it's not much better and sometimes the place is a dump..
re: kamaking
I agree with kamaking. Their shakes are made with any of their outstanding icecreams... not with soft serve. Comparison to DQ is crazy to me. I think it is a great recommendation as it is a very "Texas" place, not just good food.
re: kindofabigdeal
I love Braums as much as (or, statistically speaking, probably more) than the next guy, and I rankle at the DQ comparison. But would you really call it a "must-try place" for people who've never been to Texas before? Most places in America have good burgers and malts, if you're willing to seek them out, and LA is certainly no exception. If we were talking about a visitor from China or Siberia, maybe, but for a chowhound from LA I'd only mention Braum's if they were going to be living here for well over a month.
re: ratatosk
Braum's is decidedly Texan to me. "must-try?" I try not to get into absolutes like that. To me its a great place to grab some culture and good food for a good price.
Can't help you with the "hole in the wall" part, but you should try Blue Mesa for either their lunch buffet on Wednesdays, or their brunch buffet on the weekend...Lots of great food that any age would love......
I pretty much concur with Ratatosk. I've lived in North Dallas for 16 years and have eaten at too many places to remember. Here's some recomendations:
BBQ - Baker's Ribs (on Greenville Ave . . . about a 15-20 minute drive from North Dallas) - order the pork ribs and the brisket. It's a dive but it's without a doubt the best BBQ ribs in the city. It's perfectly fine for kids, open seating, free ice soft serve ice cream etc.
Tex-Mex - Mia's is WAY better than Matt's. Granted Matt's has a nice patio, but it's REALLY far South (in Lakewood - about a 40 minute drive from North Dallas) and frankly, the food is average. Mia's is in a really old house and their food (especially the brisket taco's - order extra gravy) is unmatched (though Avila's is pretty good too). Mia's is located in uptown, about a 20 minute drive down the Tollway (off at Wycliff).
Steak - Can't really do it with little kids. Go to Bob's at the Shops at Legacy . . . if you can get a baby sitter.
Breakfast/Brunch - Original Pancake House . . . granted, it's a chain based out of Chicago, but they don't have them in California and their breakfasts are the city's best (and very kid friendly). They have locations all over the city including Plano (75 and Parker-ish area) and a new location near Frisco (Granite Park location - not sure if it's open yet).
Babe's and Bubba's are both great for fried chicken. The Babe's location (in Garland) is really kid friendly.
Tons of other great places that are "must try" in Dallas (i.e. Lola, Nick and Sam's, Sushi Sake etc) - but most aren't kid friendly.
Hope all of that helps - and welcome to Dallas!
re: skedhead2000
Matt's is average? I'm all for difference of opinion, but let's keep the discussion civilized. Have you been back since Martin (Matt's original head chef) returned to the kitchen? The quality had fallen for a while (indeed, I stopped going for several years), but my recent experience is that it's back at top form. Way better than all the various Mattito offshoots (which are no good at all). Still, if you don't like their food, that's reasonable, and I certainly cede your right to your opinion - vive la difference and all that - but... average?
Please note: this comment is meant to be light of heart, and in no way an actual complaint about the above post. I'm glad you agree with my other choices.
re: ratatosk
I have pretty extensive experience with Mia's (for lunch) and extremely limited experience with Matt's (I've been 3 times and always get the same thing), and given a choice I'd got to Matt's - their chicken-stuffed chile relleno (green sauce) is really really good. I also like the brisket tacos at Mia's, but haven't been blown away by anything else there.
Incidentally, has anyone had the chile relleno at Mia's? It seems to be a special served at dinners only - and I've never been for dinner.
re: gavlist
Mia's only serves their chile relleno on Wednesday nights. Either show up early or I think you can call and reserve an order.
re: ratatosk
Fair enough Ratatosk . . . I haven't been to Matt's in over a year because the food was . . . dare I say . . . "average" the times I had been. Glad to hear reports that it's back on track . . . I'll give it a go next time in the Lakewood area.
re: skedhead2000
That's far more than I can reasonably ask. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
re: ratatosk
Just went to Matt's a few nights back and ordered the Chicken Fried Steak (Tampiqueno style). It was the size of a manhole cover and smothered in green tomatillo sauce and monterey jack cheese. Sinfully good . . . I ate the whole thing and requested a c-section for dessert.
re: skedhead2000
If the frisco one (original pancake house) you're referencing is the one by ikea then it's not open, and is very strange looking, as it's in the bottom floor of a generic multi level office building.
re: kajtf
If you really want to give them a look at what Texas and BBQ is all about, it is worth the drive to Ft. Worth to visit Angelo's. Not only is the food some of the best BBQ around, but the atmosphere is really "hole in the wall" (although it is a large restaurant). Kids can be very comfortable there at any age because fancy is just not a word to describe this place. Covered in dark paneling, cheap fixtures and an extensive collection of rare taxidermy, most of my out of town guests beg for us to take them back when they return. They serve great ribs, chicken and brisket and the coldest beer and margeritas in town, all at reasonable prices. I would only avoid it if the kids are too young and might get spooked by seeing elk heads and a stuffed alligator up on the wall. There is just nothing like it in other parts of the country, so it is a destination worth the drive. Just beware -- no credit cards. You can plan it with a trip to the stock yards and the somewhat lame afternoon cattle drive through the Stockyard district. Kids love it.
re: RGC1982
Absolutely! Personally, I'm not crazy about their brisket by itself, but their chopped brisket sandwiches are incredible, the ribs are even better, and the meal is even better than the sum of its parts.
I would concur that really good BBQ is scarce in Dallas and would holeheartedly agree on Angelo's in Ft. Worth. However, I highly recommend the original Sonny Bryan's on Inwood for lunch (open only for lunch). One should only order a chopped or sliced beef sandwich with onion rings. It's a dive, but for us locals, it's quitesental.
I'm a fan of Randy White's barbecue, located in Frisco on Preston Road. Their meats (especially the chopped beef) are excellent, but the sides are a little bit lacking. A mini-arcade and televisions make it a popular place for a family dinner.
I think you will probably have a slight disconnect between "hole-in-the-wall" and the northern part of Dallas. If you just mean close to LBJ (635), then going to Lakewood, etc. is pretty easy. If you mean the northern suburbs of Dallas such as far north Plano, Frisco, or Allen, that's a whole 'nother beast.
Pappadeuax is actually a pretty decent suggestion for Cajun. They have an extensive menu so if you don't want Cajun, you can get a nice seafood dish. Their food is pretty good - not necessarily great, but I've never had a bad meal there. I'd recommend a drive though and send you to Dodie's on Lower Greenville for another dive experience with good food.
I love Matt's El Rancho Martinez in Lakewood for Mexican. You can also get one of the city's best chicken fried steaks there!
I would highly recommend Vern's Place near downtown for home cooking. The place looks like a total shack, but the food is amazing. It would definitely be an experience. I prefer Dickey's over Sonny Bryan's for BBQ (I know, it's heresy, but I grew up here and we always ate at Dickey's or Peggy's - before it became Peggy Sue's) and there are a number of outposts all over town.
I love Jake's for hamburgers. It has a drive-thru, but you can sit inside and the burgers are wonderful down to the grilled poppy seed buns. Get a Special and tots with cheese!
I agree with the recommendation to make a side trip to Ft. Worth. Angelo's is good for BBQ and Joe T Garcia's is definitely a Texas experience. Sit by the pool. They used to be a one room sort of shack and just kept adding on so the newer sections are nicer but the food is pretty much the same. You can have either the Mexican dinner or the fajitas - I'm not sure if there are any other items on the short menu. The menu is short and well executed and I take guests from out of town there regularly.
re: dalaimama
Randy White's in Frisco, is closed and been demolished. I am a 7th generation Texan, and the above poster's are correct. Holy Smokes or Sonny Bryan's are decent, best barbeque is well south of Dallas. I am sure many little known places south of I-30 are much better. Angelo's in Ft. Worth is solid, however.
re: friscohorn
Holy Smokes at Northwest Hwy and Hillcrest has been torn down along with the rest of that strip. If they have moved, I'd love to know about it!
re: friscohorn
Randy White's is in a new location and has been open for the last 6 months. It is on Preston just north of Main st - behind Golden Moon. My DH loves Randy's - for me it is hit or miss - but the free beer isn't too shabby.
re: dalaimama
Do not go to Pappadeaux's for cajun, restaurant is based out of Houston, for the real deal go to Nate's in Addison. Do not go to Braum's, sure it is better than Mc Donald's but that is not saying much. if you want a burger, go to Chip's, or Uptown Bar and Grill, or Jake's, or Keller's, or Angry Dog.
Definitely throw the kids in the car and head west. Ft. Worth will give you the feeling you have actually been to Texas where Dallas is just another big city with nothing "special" about it. Go to the Stockyards for sure. There are many dining options and all are good. You can park and walk to see the entire area. Take the kids inside Billy Bob's to ride the mechanical bull. Yes, its a bar but it is way more and you need to see it. Chef Tim Love has a great new place for burgers called The Love Shack. Risky's barbeque is in that area as well. It may not be Angelo's but when you have kids, some times convenience wins out. Do NOT go to Joe T. Garia's for Mexican though. Anything is better than there. All they have going is reputation that is way past its time. You defiitely need to eat Tex Mex, just don't do it at Joe T.'s or you will leave wondering what is so good about it. You will find the people on the street most helpful and will be glad to direct you to any place of interest. Please consider spending a day in Ft. Worth and forego whatever you had planned in Dallas!
re: texann
I think Fort Worth does give a nicer historical feel than Dallas, and the Stockyards are fun to walk around (although touristy) but an important note: Billy Bob's does not have a mechanical bull:
I really like Lonesome Dove, just around the corner from the Stockyard's, but I don't think it is very kid-friendly.
re: Shalley
What are you doing posting that trash on the Texas board?
Red, Hot & Blue is perfectly fine, but I defy you to find me one piece of meat there that is better than the worst piece of meat from Smitty's down in Lockhart! If you like beef barbecue, you're a fool to search outside of Texas. Now, I'll grant that you can find better pork ribs in Memphis than you can in Texas. In other news, Brooklyn has better pizza than anywhere in the greater Dallas area, and the chinese food in LA is better than they've got down in Houston. But the ribs at Red, Hot, & Blue are NOT the ribs at Rendezvous, and, more to the point, are not better than the ribs at Smitty's.
And sauce? Who needs sauce? Texas BBQ is about meat and smoke. Memphis BBQ is about pork and spices. That dry rub is alot closer to a sauce than anything that comes near my Texas BBQ.
OK, vitriol aside, Red, Hot, & Blue is a very good restaurant, and their BBQ is defintely above average in the DFW area. I've enjoyed many a meal there, have never been disappointed, and certainly intend to go back.
re: ratatosk
I haven't tried Smitty's but I've tired a lot of BBQ in the Dallas area and most have been lacking. I've heard really good things about Peggy Sue's and Smitty's but haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Memphis BBQ isn't about pork and spices. It's about Pork and smoke. The spices are wonderful bonus.
I'm just pointing out a really good BBQ restaurant in Dallas and if you're going out for BBQ, it's one of the better places to go.
re: Shalley
... if you're looking for memphis style. I'd certainly never go to memphis and order brisket. Or say an entire tradition is trash because of samples in one area.
re: ratatosk
Don't Mess with Texas!
The only thing worth writing about at Red, Hot & Blue are their dry rub pork ribs (well, that and they play blues as their background music). Not a "must see in Dallas", but the ribs are worth writing about because they're pretty dang good.
re: ratatosk
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but just wanted to share my trivial amusement w/ an experience at Red, Hot, and Blue this past week. I work about two miles from a Sonny Bryans and RH&B. I always opt for the Memphis chain over the local chain...if only there was a good independent bbq restaurant in Irving!. I digress. I placed my order and had to choose some sides. As a mac and cheese connoisseur of sorts, I opted for their 'version' and fried okra (which may be one of the better fried okras in town). The cashier informed me that there was an up charge for the mac and cheese. I was delighted that they thought of their mac and cheese so highly that they felt an up charge was necessary. I grew excited. When I finally received my meal I was so full of anxiousness and high expectations that it was almost unfair to RH&B. When I finally opened the container I was amused to find a generous portion of Kraft Mac and Cheese. Oh well. Good thing I'm not a food snob.
re: sherrellstover
Mmm, I love Dream Cafe too. Great Fluffy Cloud Cakes. Kinda eclectic menu, maybe not Texas style. Great for kids.
re: snowwhiteRN
Oh my goodness, Has no one ever been to Sammy's. They have wonderful bbq and is a dallas original. they have 2 locations, one near fed reserve and the other in preston center at Northwest Highway. The chopped beef or chicken sandwich will melt in your mouth and the potato casserole could be a meal in itself. This a down home hole in the wall that is flooded with suits during the week that know good Texas BBQ. They even rent out for weddings and rehearsal dinners. If you haven't tried sammy's seek it out, it is worth the trip. http://www.10best.com/Dallas/Restaura...
re: giada
I had Sammy's sliced brisket for lunch today. I wasn't too impressed. There was not much flavor, didn't look like it had ever seen any smoke and was a bit dry. It was fairly tender. Maybe better than most, but not worth 4.90 for the sandwich. I did really like their sauce, which worked out well, cause it needed it. Of course, this is just my impression from one visit.
re: kindofabigdeal
And what did you think of their sides? A very big deal in BBQ, IMO
re: jinet12
To be honest, I'm not that into sides, so i didn't have any. I do love good cole slaw, potato salad, okra... or whatever it is, but if the meat is great I'd be fine with a big plate of meat, a little sauce and a slice of bread if there's any sauce remaining. Around here I'm finding that the sides are more important, cause the beef doesn't reach that level. I noticed a place on Harry Hines called Mikes Barbecue (i think). It's a bright orange building. Any opinions?
Big Daddys Ship Store is the best hole in the wall. On Lake Grapevine, toys for the kids, outside on dock, feed the ducks byob and good food.
There's been some great suggestions, including the Nate's (and their bugs are cheap on Tuesday and they have a fun band) and Babes (served family style with giant bowls of home made veggies and giant juicy chicken). I will even suggest for pure kid entertainment (no food value what so ever) Medieval Times.
Another great family deal is taking the Tarantula Train from Grapevine to the Stockyards in Fort Worth. When there, you will see numerous restaurants including Riscky's BBQ. See the link below for train info.
I also like to take visiting little ones down McKinney Avenue. They have restored the old trolley cars and have 2 running at all times, every 15 minutes. There are also numerous restaurants along the way, just pull the cord for a stop. While on the trolley visit West Village on Cole at the turn around of the trolley. there you will find the great paciugo gelato and a place for kid friendly burgers and shakes at Village Burger bar (and a nice beer for mom and dad) . There is also a stellar movie theater in the same complex, and lots of shopping in the quaint oasis.
You can also take the Dallas rail to the zoo. Catch the light rail downtown or on Mockingbird. Either location there is a Campisi's nearby for delightful Italian and pizza. the Mockingbird location is the original and I consider the best. Try their crab fingers for an appetizer and you MUST have a pizza.
These are a few different ideas. Hope you enjoy your visit and come back often!

When Lobo closed its Cobble Hill location for renovations, we worried about the beloved margarita mills fate; owner Sean Patterson promptly assured us hed be back in late April, and he is! A diner who was there for the reopening last night reports shiny new floors and much more comfy booths upstairs, and Patterson tells us that rather than having to go upstairs, you can now pass through the first floor, past an open kitchen, to get to the back garden, which should be open in about a week and a half. The menu and the margaritas, thankfully, remain the same.

I was so ready to make a sarcastic "another Call of Duty" post — but after watching this trailer I don't feel like that would be appropriate. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 actually looks good (here at Geek Revolt we're willing to admit defeat) so I'm calling a temporary truce. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 hits stores on November 13th. Finish the fight! Wait, wrong game…
you know when i saw this i was blown away i did not expect the to go that rout this is more futuristic than modern warfare
Yea… having watched this several times, I feel Call of Duty, and more specifically Treyarch, still has a chance. Modern Warfare 3 brought nothing to the table, but Black Ops 2 is looking to keep it going. Moderately futuristic setting, returning of Woods, who everyone thought was dead, plus a lot of tech… I feel that, even though there isn't a new engine attached to it, Black Ops 2 has a fighting chance to keep the little interest I have in Call of Duty. I do hope for zombies still, without that, Treyarch may get some flack. Again, like many games, time will tell. I do hope that they don't screw over the PC gamers on this one, else it will take a little while for me to purchase it.

DNA double-strand breaks represent one of the most severe forms of DNA damage in mammalian cells. One pathway for repairing these breaks occurs via nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) and depends on XRCC4, LigaseIV, and Cernunnos, also called XLF. Although XLF stimulates XRCC4/LigaseIV to ligate mismatched and noncohesive DNA ends, the mechanistic basis for this function remains unclear. Here we report the structure of a partially functional 224 residue N-terminal fragment of human XLF. Despite only weak sequence similarity, XLF(1-170) shares structural homology with XRCC4(1-159). However, unlike the highly extended 130 A helical domain observed in XRCC4, XLF adopts a more compact, folded helical C-terminal region involving two turns and a twist, wrapping back to the structurally conserved N terminus. Mutational analysis of XLF and XRCC4 reveals a potential interaction interface, suggesting a mechanism for how XLF stimulates the ligation of mismatched ends.

I have been working at Bankers Life full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Huge earnings potential. Ability to offer many lines of business. Great starting point for people with no experience in the industry. Many great training programs. In 2013, ranked 52nd best company (and climbing) for training in the western world! The mobile app is great for doorknocking. You are reimbursed 125% for training that you pay for upon completion (CLTC, lutcf, etc.). Renewals can add up quickly in a few years!Cons
Shrinking lead system. 100% commission can be very scary. People (clients) can be very finicky and resistant to change - even when change clearly benefits them. Some offices are much better than others in developing agents. You have to get good on the phone, no ifs ands or buts. If you aren't getting bonuses you are pretty much wasting your time. The 'agent care' help line can be contradictory with their advice. Very difficult if you are too introverted. The sales branch picks the types of leads that it purchases - often times it was garbage picked over internet leads from over a month ago. You are strictly prohibited from purchasing your own leads!!! Many hoops to jump through in order to stay compliant. You are almost exclusively a captive agent, there are some outside options for term policies, though. You are an agent, not an employee; there are no benefits unless you become a manager. Many, long days and miles needed to get your career off the ground.Advice to ManagementAdvice
The future is coming and I'm not sure how you are going to bring on new people without adequate resources to get them off the ground, let alone sustain their careers. Top Gun is a great, great program (ABU too!). Congrats on investing in your people.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Christopher Roney (born December 15, 1969 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), known by the stage name Cool C, is an American rapper whose musical career peaked in the late 1980s. He is perhaps best known today for the notoriety surrounding his involvement in the murder of a Philadelphia Police officer in a bank robbery in January 1996. He is currently incarcerated in a Pennsylvania state prison awaiting execution. He was to have been put to death on March 9, 2006, but his execution has been stayed.
Music career[edit]
Early career[edit]
In the mid-1980s, Roney was an original member of the Philadelphia-based Hilltop Hustlers hip hop crew. His 1987 debut single, "Juice Crew Dis," which took aim at the New York-based hip hop crew run by influential rap producer Marley Marl (a group that included Kool G. Rap and Big Daddy Kane), gained Roney a good amount of attention.
A pair of 1988 singles for Hilltop and City Beat Records landed Roney a contract with Atlantic Records, where he released two full-length solo albums: his debut I Gotta Habit in 1989 and Life in the Ghetto, in 1990.
In 1991, Roney put his solo career aside to join hardcore rap group C.E.B. (which stood for "Countin' Endless Bank"), with fellow Philadelphia rappers Warren McGlone (Steady B) and Ultimate Eaze. The trio released their only album, Countin' Endless Bank, on Ruffhouse Records in 1993, to disappointing sales and reviews. The single "Get the Point" reached #5 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles.[1]
Legal issues[edit]
On January 2, 1996, during the same time period that he was recording a comeback EP,[2] Roney, along with C.E.B. band mate McGlone (a.k.a. Steady B), and another local Philadelphia rapper, Mark Canty, attempted a bank robbery at a PNC bank branch in Philadelphia. During the botched heist, Roney shot and killed Philadelphia Police Officer Lauretha Vaird, who responded to the bank's silent alarm.[3][4] As he exited the bank, Roney exchanged fire with another police officer, before he and Canty dropped their weapons at the scene and fled in a stolen minivan driven by McGlone.[5]
Vaird, an African-American woman and the single mother of two children, was the first female Philadelphia Police officer killed in the line of duty.[6]
Roney was arrested and on October 30, 1996, convicted of first degree murder.[3] At his subsequent sentencing hearing, Roney was sentenced to death by lethal injection. On January 10, 2006, his death warrant was signed by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and his execution date was set for March 9, 2006.[7] He was granted a stay of execution from Pennsylvania Judge Gary Glazer on February 1, 2006 until all post-conviction litigation is resolved.[8]
Roney has steadfastly maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process, despite the testimony of three eyewitnesses who placed him at the scene of the robbery, as well as ballistic and forensic evidence and surveillance video that linked him to the murder.[2][5] He is currently an inmate at Pennsylvania's State Correctional Institution at Greene.[7]

The TCPA was originally designed to curb the numerous unwanted marketing calls that were being dialed into households on a daily basis. People were discouraged and outraged about the growing number of aggressive calls that were dialed into their homes nightly. Many of these calls were done automatically (through a dialer system or "robocalls") which is the reason the act was passed.
To find out how this law specificly affects healthcare providers, check out "TCPA Essentials for Healthcare".

The patient experience is a critical factor that sometimes gets ignored in the hospital setting (or maybe not… but it DOES get forgotten). The primary focus of a hospital is to heal the sick and cure the injured. However, hospitals are also businesses interested in not only covering their costs but making a profit as well. As a result, the patient experience has to be kept as a (top) priority.
I've been asked the same question time and time again when I'm in the field talking about self-pay collections and bad debt - what question you ask? I'll get there. Collecting invoices from a stubborn or intentionally uncooperative patient for medical services can be enough of a problem, but when the patient seems to have "no money whatsoever" to pay the bill many hospitals and clinics immediately assume the case has to be written off as a loss. That's far from true, but unfortunately it seems like the only logical choice due to a lack of awareness (or wanting to keep the patient from filing a complaint!). In reality, there are a number of ways collections can be made if done in a smart, persistent fashion. There are some accounts that will take a while to get paid, but persistence does often pay off in the end (trust me, I KNOW persistence!) Finally, the question I get asked...
The process of outsourcing a hospital's accounts receivable or any other medical office for that matter, does not start with handing over accounts and waiting to see what happens next. Instead, accounts receivable management starts with a good amount of planning and understanding what benefits A/R outsourcing will provide a hospital in the first place. When accounts are actually transferred for management, the office will already have a clear plan on what to expect as well as how to redirect resources now freed up from managing accounts directly.
If you are in charge of your hospital finances you need to know why this is happening and how to fix it.
What's one of the best ways to improve your organization's cash flow? Accelerating and maximizing collection of accounts receivable, of course! In most organizations, increase in the amount of capital to fund investments in technology, people, and training depends on accounts receivable collections.

Caturday Confessions
It's Caturday, and Mummy has a confession to make, don't you Mummy?
"Oh, I don't think so Gracie, what are you talking about?"
You know, about you bein' an addik....... Tell the people what you are addikted to..... Like something that is keeping you from telling our stories, because you are busy doing your addiktion thing on the computer...
"Oh, you mean shopping on Amazon.com? That's not an addiktion, that's a necessity"
No, I mean when you say, "OK, just one more game and then I'll go to bed" ....Admit it Mummy, you are addikted to (here it is folks - she is telling my secrets) Computer Solitaire...........
Yup, plain old computer Solitaire has got me in it's grips - you know, the one at the top of the list when you click on the "Start" menu on your PC- not online or anything - just plain old Solitaire...I can sure see how people can get into trouble with gambling. You think, just one more game and I'll win the next one.
Holy cow!

Who'd a thought?
But I mentioned it at work and one of the ladies that I work with said, "Oh, that's because of the algae blooms on Lake Whatcom (our water source) and they have been putting lots of extra chlorine in the water to get rid of it." Well, makes sense, I guess - but in the meantime - what to do.
Then, one day I was walking through the local drugstore and wandered down the small appliance aisle - and what did I find, but a Britta water filter pitcher. It was under $30 - what could I lose and if it really worked, I would gain - good tasting water. Who'd a thought that it would be so easy...
I was truly stunned that this little pitcher with it's charcoal filter would deliver what it says - Great tasting water -
So I found myself some BPA free bottles and keep a filled one in the bathroom for teeth washing and taking pills. And those swigs of water that you need to drink in the middle of the night...
Who'd a thought that it would be so easy. Britta's got my vote. (well so do the new Lay's Bacon Mac & Cheese flavored potato chips but that's a whole 'nuther story)

Happy Birthday to the "Kittens"
Hey Mummy, we're not Kittens any more, in fact, in people years we are 4, but in Cat years, we are the ripe old age of 32!
And you are very Handsome too (I can say that, I'm their Mummy)
They have grown so much.
When we got George and Gracie in July 2011, I was told they were born in the "middle of October 2010" but the lady I got them from did not know the exact date.
I decided that 10-10-10 would be a very auspicious date for the birthday of my kitties. Don't you think that was a good date to pick?
Happy birthday my babies.

Holy Cow, it's the FIRST DAY OF FALL!!!
Well, I've done a little bit of spinning - this is some roving that I spun up for gifts for co-workers. I call it my Seahawks yarn. I will use it to make them a cowl or a neck scarf. If you click on the pictures, they should "biggify" a little bit & you can see the little bits of blue and green mohair that I plied into the yarn.
And I spun up some of Elliott's wool to take to the NW Washington Fair. Look! I got a blue ribbon!
I truly thought I'd get the blue on my Seahawks yarn and not on the white, but she didn't like how I had plied it. Judges - they are so picky...
She also counted me down on how I tied the skein, even though I had used yarn from the skein to tie it. I guess I'll suggest that we have a "skein tieing for the fair" class next year at our spinner guild meeting.
But this is when I know I'm doing it right - this is all that was left from two bobbins of singles after I plied up the second skein - just about a foot or so. I'd say "I rock"
This was taken in our front yard only a week ago - the Katsura and the birches are really starting to turn now - I'd say they are as surprised as I was to have summer end.
Well, that's all for now - We'll be back soon! (and a lot sooner than the last time...)

A lazy Caturday
The front deck is always a nice place to sit on a summer's eve and the petunias are so fragrant - plus there are a couple little froggies living in there, so they serenade us.
We will be going up to Blaine for a fund raiser concert for our church this afternoon. I have been busy making food for the reception for afterwards.
It's always fun to tag along with George, Gracie and Bella out in the garden.
Who knows what kind of mayhem will ensue...
Ooops, lasers activated.
Calm down kitties!
One more frontal attack!
"You can't see me"....................
"Oh, yes, I can"
Happy Caturday everyone!

Three Beautiful Things -
So here are three beautiful things from our garden -
First is another picture of one of our Bellingham Lilies -
This is one of my favorite views on the farm - sitting by the barn and looking towards the house. This view changes weekly as the seasons move along.
Thanks for stopping by to see my Three Beautiful Things this week!

Meet the "Flockers"
George here with the summer "state of the union" event - W&W - or Worming & Weaning!
Our friend Nurse Nancy came over to help, since Mummy is not too steady on her feet out in the barn.
It worked like a dream. Everyone was calm and, most importantly, easy to catch - no running or jumping - what a concept.
So, without further ado - Meet The Flockers!
This is Frostiana - her wool is much like her daddy, Elliott's wool - lusterous and long.
This is Lori - she needs a new home.
Her wool will eventually be white - but I think this first fleece will be fawn colored.
This is Ana - She needs a new home too.
Ana's fleece is more mioget - golden - and I think this lamb fleece will be beautiful!
Elsie is what we call a "snausage sheep" - she is a little roly-poly - but she is one of The Shepherd's favorite little girls. She likes to lie down on his feet!
Elsie is Ana's sister - and she'll be staying here on the farm.
Lettie is Lori's sister - she really does have a sweet face when she's not being strangulated to death by The Shepherd.
And Whoo-ee - look at the color of her fleece!
Vikki is also a favorite of The Shepherd. We thought she was going to be black and white from looking at her when she was born - but look at her now - soon she'll be white.
She also has her daddy, Elliott's fleece characteristics. Soft and lustrous.
Christopher will have a nice white fleece - he needs a new home - because we have limited space - the only wether that we can keep is the ram buddy - that will be Jackson (see below)
Christopher will have a beautiful white fleece!
Here's our "ram buddy" Jackson - he is very close to Django in size and temperament.
I'm hoping that we will have some fleeces to take to Black Sheep next year. What do you think?
And here's our new little man himself. Django!
Pretty color, good nature, and nice fleece - we have 3 or 4 ewes who are not very closely related who will be put in with him in the fall.
Donna, Sandy & Vanessa look somewhat relieved that the lambs are out in a pasture by themselves - but oh, what a racket! Great amounts of wailing and gnashing of teeth!
"Gracie, do you think they'll ever shut up?"
"I don't know George - those lambs sure can do a good holler"
Mummy here - The lambs pretty much cried for 24 hours, STRAIGHT! Then they realized that they were on this wonderful lush pasture, and one by one, they quieted down. Thank heavens!

U Against The World Lyrics - Damnation (Punk)
Each religions gonna justify it's own
Scent of retribution from every pore
Step up to be set free
Now the whole damn crowd is clocking me
Well, looks like a lack of self-control (Chorus)
U against the world
It's just the way it goes Oh ya!
U against the world
Nervous white male fed up middle-aged
Suit & briefcase on a subway train so,
Sick to death of being pushed around
He said, "The gang kids tried to fuck with me, so I used my piece to set them free"!
Well looks like a case for gun control
An eye for an eye
Go for the throat
Remember to breathe

Another good thing about this decision. There´s not a single liberal left in Seattle. Tuesday, their heads all exploded.Though I was surprised at the Seattle Times comment section, I don´t think it was quite 50/50 but a lot of commenters were in favor of Hobby Lobby and agreed with the decision.
Click Here if you Like this Comment 7 persons like this.
The phrasing of the question is critical to the results of the poll. For example, one liberal pollster asked, "Do you think the evil CEO of religious fanatic Hobby Lobby, who believes that all women should be barefoot and pregnant, should go into the bedrooms of his female employees and confiscate their birth control pills?"

It´s disgraceful that it´s only ten percent; it´s OMINOUS that it was a 5-4 decision. It should have been unanimous in favor of religious freedom. The left would ban Christianity itself if they could. They might yet.

Event Details
Nancy Garrison Saturday, April 24
10:30 – 12:30 $31
Learn how to replace strictly ornamental plants with edible ones that fill a similar design niche. This might include substituting Chilean guava for a boxwood hedge or a persimmon for a large ornamental tree. How about strawberries instead of Vinca, or avocado for a camphor tree? The idea is to grow plants with dual purposes – creating an aesthetically pleasing landscape with ornamental edibles. Nancy started the Master Gardener Program in Santa Clara County in 1982 and coordinated it until 2004 when she went out on her own with her business called All Things Edible. She currently does professional fruit tree pruning and provides professional garden consultations to help people to grow as much in their yards as possible.

Suffolk plans to lease more Peconic Bay acres
A Suffolk County plan to lease part of Peconic Bay to private shellfish farmers should put another 300 acres under private control between 2015 and 2019, according to the county's office of Economic Development and Planning.
That's not a lot, considering there is the potential to lease almost 30,000 acres of productive underwater bay land, but it's a reasonable space, according to Suffolk Legis. Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue), who helped organize a forum last week in Riverhead on the leasing program.
"You have to look at all the other uses in the bay," Krupski said. "There's commercial fishing and recreational fishing and boating, people sailing. ... There's a lot to consider."

SOCIAL: @eastwatch | @NewsdayTowns | Google+
The county also has to be sure that any land it leases is not in conflict with private leasing, some of which goes back to the late 1800s, Krupski added.
About 120 acres of bay bottom is already under lease. When the county leases a 10-acre parcel, another 10 acres around it is set aside for a buffer zone.
"It's a labor-intensive job," Krupski said. "They have to keep pulling up their equipment and cleaning it to make sure the shellfish get the food they need to grow."

After 10 years of incentive regulation, reliability has declined in Ontario. Regulators failed to enforce service-quality standards, and consumers are suffering as a result.
Smart Grid: A Customer Challenge
Consumers hold the key to technology's benefits.
generate more reliable forecasts of probable smart-grid benefits than those that fail to understand these characteristics.
The adoption process is made up of five stages that describe how individuals in different segments are influenced to adopt a course of action or innovation: 1) Knowledge—exposure to basic information about actions available to residential customers to take advantage of the smart grid; 2) Persuasion—involves how individuals in different adoption categories are influenced to take interest in information; 3) Decision—whether to adopt or not; 4) Implementation—what energy device or program individuals use; and 5) Confirmation—what individuals commit to sustain (and what is abandoned).
Managing these stages, customized for each segment, will help utilities accelerate participation in their smart-grid programs. Because some segments ( e.g., late majority) will require higher touch approaches than others ( e.g., innovators), customizing approaches also will help reduce program costs.
Shaping Behavior
The smart-grid benefits utilities actually can achieve will depend on two factors: the rate of adoption and the magnitude of coincident and non-coincident peak-load reductions they can achieve. Key will be developing program strategies for each adoption segment that stimulate rapid and stable participation.
Consumers in the various adoption categories, however, don't respond equally well to motivation and capability development or passive and active efforts. There's a range of potential program decisions to be made and different adoption categories might appeal to varied consumers (see Figure 1).
Many smart-grid-related program ideas and designs provide examples of these points that allow speculation as to how segments might be engaged (see sidebar "Smart Rate Designs"). But while pricing strategies sometimes are hailed as another way to shape consumer behavior, complexity likely will limit participation and often might generate significant regulatory concerns. Key however, is to recognize that utilities should approach pricing by providing options that naturally will appeal to different segments (see Figure 2 and also see sidebar "TOU Pricing Strategies").
Special rate programs are difficult to design and can lead to unexpected results for consumers. For example, when Puget Sound Energy introduced a simple two-tier rate structure that it touted could help households save money, the program in fact increased bills, despite changes in behavior. 9 Again, understanding how information and persuasion will drive decisions to participate is important in shaping realistic expectations and program designs.
The better utilities understand the characteristics of adoption segments and tailor smart-grid demand-side management (DSM) programs to meet their needs, the more durable and widespread the results are likely to be. Regulatory support will be important if a variety of pricing and program options are going to be used, though this will be important to maximize participation and retention over time. This is not a situation where a one-size fits all approach is likely to be effective, especially in the long run. Also, utilities might need to be incented in different ways so they truly see a benefit in long-term load reduction.
Finally, the evolution of consumer programs in support of a smart grid will require a number of changes within utilities themselves, not just a set of new incentives. Customer-service representatives,

About Jill
Hi, I have lived in Ocean Beach about 30 years now. I love the beach area with easy walking to most needed places, such as fun shopping, eating as well as our local hardware, post office and library.
Jill purchased this house in 2000
Why Jill chose Ocean Beach
I bought this property in the year 2000 because I loved the views of the ocean that the house lends. After a divorce I decided the house was too large for just me and decided to share the peace and tranquity of the setting with others.
What makes this house unique
The house is large with wonderful ocean views, I have seen the most beautiful sunsets. With binoculars have even seen a whale breach from the dining room window. I have always felt peace and tranquity when living in this house. I love that there are many thing to do within walking distance right here in our little town of Ocean Beach.

Thanks so much for opening your house for us. What an amazing view. And that Wok was incredible and fun to use. Thanks for helping to provide a fantastic vacation!!!!!!

Three Septembers ago, Carlee Maluenda arrived to try out for the Union High School girls soccer team uncertain she could make the squad. But the doubts she had about belonging were not evident to the coaches.
"Immediately she established herself as one of the top 11 players in the program," Titans coach Kelcey Burris said.
Players to watch
Aurora Bodenhamer, sr., mid Hockinson; Carlee Maluenda, sr., mid., Union; Nicole Mattson, sr., fwd., Evergreen; Jordyn Voyles, sop., fwd., Ridgefield; Bobbi Eckler, sr. midfielder, Union; Maddie Sjothun, jr., def, Union; Emily Ponce, Sr. mid, Camas; Jamie Carter. Sr. GK, Camas; Zilha Ramic, sr., mf, Prairie.
League overviews
4A GSHL: With Camas jumping up to Class 4A, this league will have some interesting matchups. Skyview has ruled the 4A GSHL for several years, but both Camas and Union figure to push the rebuilding Storm this season. Evergreen also figures to compete for a playoff spot, if not for the title. Three teams will advance to the bi-district playoff round.
3A GSHL: With Camas, which won the last two titles and five of the last seven, now at 4A, this race looks wide open. Kelso might be the preseason favorite, but Prairie was the runner up last season, and Columbia River and Mountain View (with nine returning starters) also look ready the join the battle for the league title.
2A GSHL: Ridgefield is back up at 2A, renewing its rivalry with Hockinson. To win the league, the Spudders and Hawks will have to beat out a strong Mark Morris side. Washougal's Ellie Boon, a three-time all-league forward and last season's Columbian All-Region Player of the Year, is not playing high school soccer in her senior year.
1A Trico League: Based on early results, this league is wide open. La Center, which qualified for state in 2011, is off to a fast start in the league that Ridgefield won last season. King's Way Christian returns all-league defender Heidi Fronk and won three of its first four league games. Woodland has four early league wins. Seton Catholic junior Forward Lucy Defilippis was second-team all-league last season.
That first impression has become a lasting impact. Now a senior, Maluenda is among the top players in the region, a confident midfielder whose presence is valued as much for her consistency as for her competitiveness.
Maluenda has started every varsity soccer match the Union girls have played since she arrived on campus in 2009, first as a defender and now as a play-making midfielder.
"She has brought a competitive spirit to our program that is second to none," Burris said. "There's never a question about Carlee's commitment to our program and to her teammates."
As much as Maluenda has meant to Union girls soccer, it's possible that Union girls soccer has meant even more to Maluenda.
Burris considers Maluenda's growth off the field "one of our crowning achievements since we've established the program."
Introverted by nature -- "Socially, I'm not the easiest person to talk to, I'm really shy" -- Maluenda blossoms with a soccer ball at her feet.
"I'm a completely different person on the field," she said. "The field is kind of my sanctuary where I can just let loose and just play my game."
Toughness is one of the ingredients that defines Maluenda's game. Among her favorite parts of the sport are the challenges, battling for balls in the air or brave tackles on the turf.
Not backing down has produced sore ankles and other pains. Not that Maluenda would skip a chance to play.
Evidence of that came in July during the U.S. Club Soccer National Cup XI tournament near Chicago. Despite hip, knee and hamstring injuries, Maluenda contributed as a team representing Vancouver Timbers soccer club won their branch of the national event.
"It was a lot of fun," she said, noting that the tournament team that came together for the national event included many of the top high school players in Clark County.
Achievements such as that -- or scoring the winning goal to beat rival Skyview two seasons ago -- are evidence of Maluenda's soccer ability.
She said she isn't sure where she will play soccer beyond high school. But the game has already helped her appreciate the value of education.
She credits Burris and school counselor La Mont Woods for helping her handle the challenges of high school.
"I just learned that soccer is not always going to be there, so better to educate myself than to be stuck on one sport," she said.
Maluenda has also found her voice, at least when it's needed on the soccer field.
"She says little, but when she says it, it carries great weight," Burris said. "She's always had the respect of the entire program top to bottom, players and coaches."
