[DFW] Cowboys BBQ and Ribs
Has anyone heard of this "place". I just read an article in the paper stating that they would be occupying the old Railhead location on 121 in Colleyville (next to La Hacienda Ranch) in 2/09. Since I'd never heard of it, I googled it and it seems that the current business operates from a web-based "storefront" selling meats and other bbq related products and also tours the bbq cookoff circuit. Just wondering if this may be something to anticipate. I would imagine not, but then perhaps there are surprises on the horizon.
Yes, Cowboys BBQ will knock your socks off.... it's that good. I know some people at my church who have traveled 50+ miles for his ribs and brisket.
Saw they opened this week, but haven't been. I did find one of those half off deals for the restaurant if anyone is interested.
re: Brad2
Brad, thanks for the coupon link.
Due to the number of vehicles in the parking lot a couple of weeks ago, I thought they were open and happened in during the lunch hour. Well, they weren't, but I got to talking with a guy who's a long term friend of the owner, then the owner also came out. From what I learned, they will have sit down service with menus, ie, no buffet line and I believe there was mention of steak and catfish (?) also on the menu. Furnishings were custom ordered and installed. So, with it being as close as it is, I'll definitely check it out if for no other reason, curiosity, but will give it a few weeks before doing so.
I visted on Sunday, and I have this to say. Owner Mark Gabrick brought in local BBQ legend Dallas Green, winner of countless national BBQ competitions, to start a brand new (we're talking three days old) BBQ joint in the former Colleyville location of Railhead Smokehouse. Because this joint just opened, I'll cut it a little slack since they need some time to work out the kinks. One of these kinks includes having to haul in a portable smoker to sit in the parking lot until their second smoker arrives in a few weeks. On this busy Sunday afternoon, they were understaffed due to some employee call-ins, but the remaining staff kept up their pace to serve the many customers. I sat at the bar which is designed more for standing than sitting. There's little leg room so my knees bumped against the rough-hewn Austin stone beneath the bar. The beer taps along the bar sat tauntingly as this joint waits for their liquor license, so I ordered an iced tea which wanted for some filtered water.
The menu here gives surprisingly little attention to the traditional BBQ items. Appetizers, salads and steaks seem to be the focus, but as expected, I ordered a plate of brisket, ribs and the waiter recommended sausage. The tender meat of the St. Louis ribs were covered by a dark crust that also hid the layers of fat remaining on the ribs. The meat had a deep red color, and good smokiness with good flavor once the fat was scraped away. The sausage had a medium grind, mild spiciness and a slight snap to the casing. The flavor was pleasing, but lacked complexity. The brisket on the other hand was complexing. The plate arrived with slices so laden with unrendered fat it resembled medium rare bacon. I took a bite for journalistic integrity, then, for the first time in my reviewing career, I sent an item back. The obliging waiter quickly returned with a plate of lean brisket with a delicate crust and moderate smokeline. The slices were moist and tender to the point of falling apart. Outside the crust, the smoky flavor receded into roast beefyness, but the overall flavor was satisfactory. I look forward to a return trip to see if the meat reaches its competition winning potential once this joint's staff and smoker settle in. I also can't wait for a few more of those onion rings.

re: dvaughn971
Appreciate the thorough review, based on that, I'm convinced to make the trip to Coleyville. Glad to see we've got access to good brisket within a short drive!
If it's just good BBQ you want and it's either Fri, Sat or Sun, head over to North Main BBQ in Euless http://www.northmainbbq.com/ about 10 mins away. That's Dallas Green's full time gig and it won't cost you near as much to get the real deal. You won't get table service or a range of menu items, just all you can eat BBQ for about $10-12. Or pick up to go items ala carte. And oh, yes no bar either, it's BYOB.
I work for dallas for a couple years now and i know mark and evrryone. Dallas is the best i love him and his family and can't wait to get back to dfw to start workin again. the cowboys restaurant is the best if you miss out your missin out
Well, I drove 4 miles, not 50 but it did knock my socks off - just not in a good way. A to-go order, medium sized pile of average brisket served between two pieces of white Texas Toast served cold right out of the bag. BBQ sauce out of the Kraft bottle and two small plastic containers of ordinary pinto beans and cole slaw. All for $15. They forgot the chips that were supposed to be included.
I'm not a big fan of Dickey's but it is at least as good and half the price.
Not bad at all... i will give them a thumbs-up on their ribs. brisket is just alright--wasn't a whole lot of flavor. If you like the thick, rich, sweet, smoky bbq sauce, then you will like cowboys. Their price point seems to be about right. $12/lb. My biggest dissapointment, you can't order by the pound if you sit down and eat. By-the-pound is to go only. To top that off, you have to order in total-lb. increments. You can't just order a half-pound of brisket and eight ribs. It has to be a half-pound of brisket, half-pound of ribs.
Such a disappointment. After 2 in house dinners and 1 take out, I don't see myself going back. With the exception of the pulled pork and chicken, the meats (I've tried brisket (twice), ham, sausage, pork ribs (twice), chicken (twice) and pulled pork (3 times)), have been flavorless and dry – the pork ribs were okay on one occasion, but as they sat on my plate while I ate other things, oddly, they dried out all by themselves. The brisket was so dry, it was brittle and fell apart. On both occasions, the chicken has been very good and on 2 of the 3 occasions, the pork has been melt in the mouth good – on the take out, the pork was flavorless and dry. As to what others with me have eaten, but I didn't try, they report: the grilled chicken is very good and would be ordered again; the fried catfish is good, but would not be ordered again, simply because it was fried with a tempura type batter rather than cornmeal; one ordered the beef ribs which were a huge mound of about 5 or 6 ribs – reported as good, but visually, a large amount of meat remained on the bone.
As to the service – it was about as bad as it can get. We *supposedly* had Saturday reservations for 16, but NOT. Fortunately, it was for an early 5 pm timeframe, so they were still able to seat us. Drinks arrived promptly, but the meals were served incomplete and piecemeal, with one person not receiving hers until the rest of us were close to finishing. Until requested, there was no tarter sauce served with the catfish, 3 people did not receive their sides of onion rings (probably the best side offered) until near finished with their meals, the cornbread (I guess had to be baked and) didn't arrive until halfway thru our meals and then with no butter which took another 5+ min. to arrive. It seems there were a couple of other missteps, but those noted are enough to get the point across. In my mind, I'll make allowances within the first week of a restaurant's opening – but a month later? Nah.
As to a prior poster's complaint of Kraft BBQ: not sure about that since Cowboy's bottles and markets/sells their own in both "hot" and "regular". But along that line, I did ask for "hot" and the waiter said he'd bring both. Only one arrived with him telling me it was hot. It didn't taste any hotter than from previous visits. I later learned that another member of the party asked for "hot" and was told they were "out". Soooooo….. someone was lied to. But of all food matters there, I find the sauce the most enjoyable in texture and taste.
We left a few minutes after 7, and keeping in mind it was on Saturday, there was plenty of seating to be had.
Edit: At best, they seem to be very incosistent even on the same night. On my first visit, our neighboring table said their ribs were great. Ours came, were excessively dry and didn't get a second bite. On the pulled pork, while mine has always been reasonably good, a member of the (second visit) party said she'd been earlier in the week, ordered it and received a pile of pork fat. So looks like it's a flip of the coin. In any case, here's a copy of their menu: http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/menu/1677...
Sorry for the lengthy ramble.
re: CocoaNut
Good report! Another one I can cross my list off going to. It sure is a sad state for BBQ in DFW. I would drive to Colleyville if it was good but seeing how that you tried it on multiple visits (both in and takeout) in a variety of meats it looks like you did your homework.!
Nice read BBQ Snob, thank you for that review and it is now on my radar. I was thinking the same as a few others, in that proximity , *NORTH MAIN BBQ* in Euless is a gem. I have been there for the lunches, and it is always a buffet style. But never fear everything is fresh and the selection is vast. You will leave with a pure smoke scent about you, so leave the suit coat in the car and bring in a 6 pack! No bar means BYOB, woohoo!
The selection at main Street is delightful. Nice ribs, ham, pork, links, chopped and sliced beef, chicken and more. Plus the sides are very homey tasting, no Sysco Foods prepacks here.
Wonderful to see some nice BBQ still left, I was just complaining a few days ago about some of the Dallas institutions that have taken a noise dive in recent years.
Cheers to all!
re: DallasDude
You are saying Main Street; but do you mean "North Main" in Euless? Sorry I got confused.
re: DallasDude
I ate at North Main about two weeks ago and although I love ribs. I found their brisket to be fantastic. I ate the brisket that had been cut into cubes, instead of slices and it seemed to have come off the fattier side and the flavor was tremendous. They put out a really good product over there. It's about an hour round trip drive for me but I sure don't mind making it on Saturday afternoon.
re: DallasDude
Riscky's was just average last time I tried it (October last year), but Angelo's is always good. Their brisket and ribs are a little fatty, but the meat is tender and the smoky flavor always packs a punch.
- BBQ Snob @ Full Custom Gospel BBQ
Geez .... the saga continues. After a mere 2 months, it seems Cowboy's has been sold to a new owner (Andy Caster - anyone familiar?) and will soon be renamed to Daddy Joe's.
Ate there a couple of weeks ago on Sunday and the place was dead. I could understand why. The meats were dry and the sauce was equivilant to a bad bottled brand. The sides were inedible and cold. The wait staff was polite but spent most of their time standing around gossiping in hushed tones. It was really a little depressing. Beef ribs were listed on the menu, but when I asked the waitress, she acted like she had never heard of beef ribs and told me that they did not serve them. Later found out the the police had recently been called to the place and that one of the principles had brought a gun into the bar area in the middle of a dispute with an owner. Just sold. Hope it gets better.
re: toppertx
Daddy Joe's is now closed as well. It seems this location might not be so good for BBQ. Three joints have closed there in a little over a year (Railhead, Cowboys, Daddy Jack's).
And the saga continues to continue.
Having nothing to do with BBQ (I'm pretty sure)..... the location's new name will be J.R.'s Grill - I'm *assuming* as it relates to namesake J.R.'s Steakhouse only seconds north. Ultimately, the food will tell the tale, but external structural mods are underway, which should provide a more approachable impression. Given their steakhouse success, this area's need for an upscale "grill", and their solid management at the helm, hopefully they will fare well.
J.R.'s Steakhouse
5400 Hwy. 121, Colleyville, TX 76034
It's gotten so, I just don't even bother thinking about BBQ in Dallas anymore. Let alone get excited about a new BBQ joint opening. Thank goodness we have great (non-gringo) taquerias in Dallas to fill the void (somewhat). I'd rather eat a great (corn) tacos al pastor, or barbacoa, etc. than some dried out BBQ brisket any day of the week. And, it's a hell of a lot cheaper, too!
Sad but true, I haven't found any barbecue in DFW worth the trip or the price. Nothing I've had at any BBQ joint can even compare with the smoky magic that my husband the grillmeister creates in our own back yard. It's a shame because sometimes you want a spur-of-the-moment place to enjoy some good BBQ without doing all the work. We hear so much about the great Hill Country BBQ places in Texas. I wish a restaurant closer to home would take the same pride in all the details to produce great BBQ.
re: Carrollton Foodie
Have you tried Meshack's? I make the drive from Carrollton to this little shack in Garland all the time, always worth the trip. Certainly beats having to drive to Central Texas.

From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, I'm Shannon O'Donnell.
Making headlines today:
The newly launched Enterprise Investment Programme (EIP), which currently focuses on manufacturing and tourism, could in the long-term evolve into a tool to support the agriculture industry, a top government official said on Friday.
Department of Trade and Industry Director-General Tshediso Matona, speaking at the food summit organised by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Environment to seek ways to deal with rising prices, said that the EIP could assist in creating investment in rural infrastructure to support agriculture processing.
Matona also said that reviewing agricultural trade and tariff policies and amending the Competition Act, could also be valuable responses made by government to mitigate the food crisis.
He repeated that with food and fuel prices in a "danger zone" there was a need for 10-billion dollars to provide food and cash handouts for the world's poorest.
Soaring oil and food prices have fuelled inflation across the globe at the same time as economies slow, posing a sharp dilemma for policymakers.
Its new Cerro Corona mine in Peru, scheduled to start shipping gold and copper in concentrate by early September, will produce 350 000 oounces a year of gold equivalent, and there is room to grow this significantly.
Head of South American operations Juan Luis Kruger said at a visit to the mine that the operation was "one small piece in a much larger puzzle" of Gold Fields' strategy for growing its Latin American profile.

Science Between The Superpowers
By Yakov M. Rabkin
Reviewed by John C. Campbell
From our Winter 1988/89 Issue
This is a study of specific programs for the exchange of U.S and Soviet scientists that have taken place within the framework of intergovernmental agreements and under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences and the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The study is thorough, objective and sensible in its conclusions. Recognizing that the Soviet Union uses these exchanges for the advancement of its own strategic objectives and not for the general advancement of science, and that for the American side the benefits are largely illusive, Rabkin argues that the U.S. should continue to participate in these programs, but only on the same basis as such cooperation is conducted with non-totalitarian countries.

Upton's homer helps Braves top MarlinsThomas Stinson, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ATLANTA -- August ends soon. Justin Upton will miss it.
The Braves left fielder continued with his torrid month Friday night, cracking a two-run homer in the sixth inning before delivering a two-out single in the seventh that resulted in two more runs as the Braves beat Miami 5-2 in the first game of a weekend series.
The victory was the Braves' third straight and 10th in their last 14 games while the Marlins dropped to 2-5 on their current road trip. Closer Craig Kimbrel recorded his 40th save, but not without a nifty 3-63 double play for his first two outs.
Upton's three RBIs (one run in the seventh was unearned) gave him 28 RBIs in 25 games this month, which has been the most productive one of his eight-year career. Eight of his 26 home runs -- 31 percent -- came come in August.
Atlanta starter Ervin Santana, riding a six-game win streak at Turner Field, was not around to collect on the victory, forced out after six innings with a 104-pitch count. Not his sharpest outing, Santana still limited the Marlins to one run on five singles, despite four walks, while striking out seven. He departed with a 2-1 lead.
In the telling seventh inning, Jason Heyward, hitting just .154 against left-handed this year, put the Braves up 3-2 with a clutch RBI single off lefty Mike Dunn. After Andrelton Simmons opened the inning with a perfect bunt down the third-base line, pinch-hitter Ramiro Pena singled off first baseman Garrett Jones' glove, sending Simmons to third.
Facing a drawn-in infield, Heyward fouled off a pair of 2-2 pitches before serving a single through the left side, marking the second straight inning the Braves reclaimed the lead. Then with two outs and two on, Upton worked a count full against hard-throwing Sam Dyson before singling up the middle.
Heyward scored on the play and Emilio Bonifacio raced home after center fielder Marcell Ozuna let the ball get by him, the unearned run make the lead 5-2.
No sooner had Santana departed after six than Marlins pinch-hitter Jordany Valdespin cracked an opposite-field home run off reliever David Carpenter for a 2-2 tie. The home run was just Valdespin's third of the season, coming after Carpenter had allowed just one run in his previous 10 appearances.
The Braves first claimed the lead in the sixth with the least- and most-expected candidates. Freddie Freeman, who entered the night hitting .059 against Miami this year and who had struck out in his previous two plate appearance, walked to lead off the inning.
Upton then sent a 91-mph Tom Koehler fastball into the stands in center field for a 2-1 lead. The home run was his 17th at Turner Field.
The Marlins only reached Santana in the sixth, following a pair of one-out singles by Casey McGehee and Jones. Ozuna then served a soft double that landed just inside the right field line, scoring McGehee from second. The Braves threw out Jones at the plate on a Heyward-to-Tommy La Stella relay but the 1-0 lead gave Miami the important first run against a team with well-profiled offensive shortcomings.
The game remained scoreless through the first five innings. The Braves advanced runners to second base in each of the first three but stranded all of them there. The closest either team came to drawing early blood came in the fourth, when Jones flied out to the warning track in center to lead off the inning and Evan Gattis flied out to the warning track in left to open the bottom of the inning.
Santana worked into immediate trouble, walking the bases full with one out in a 32-pitch first inning. After a visit from pitching coach Roger McDowell, he promptly reversed course, striking out Jones on three pitches and inducing a soft line-out to right from Ozuna.

June 1, 2014
Charlottesville's City Council will soon finalize its plans for the City Market, but before they do, they want to hear from residents on which plans work best.
The City Market is a great place for local vendors and farmers to come and showcase their goods, but it is also held in a spot that many consider as prime real estate for future businesses in Charlottesville.
"Instead of having a couple of vacant lots there, it's used for parking and parking is valuable, but to have it just flat isn't the best use for downtown property," says Kristin Szakos, Charlottesville City Council.
Szakos says that spot can and should be used to help develop and grow downtown Charlottesville.
"The City Market is really important and we want to make sure it's downtown, but to keep a lot that has nothing on it except the city market for years and years, a lot of people feel that's not the best use for downtown space."
For years the City Market has taken place on Saturdays in a parking lot downtown. However, Charlottesville City Council hopes the new designs will be able to transform the area for all of downtown Charlottesville.
The four plans for the City Market that are up for discussion include plans to create a mixed-use development. They also show both indoor and outdoor facilities for the city market as well as space for other businesses and residential areas.
Brevy Cannon, the vice chair for market central says that over 5,000 people come to the city market each Saturday and says those numbers could grow with more space.
"We know it's a beloved Charlottesville institution, it has been for a long time," says Cannon. "It's just exciting to think about how much better it could be if it had a dedicated home that the city has been talking about it having for more than 20 years now."
He hopes that residents will soon look at the city market the centerpiece for Charlottesville's downtown.
There will be a public hearing tonight at 7pm at City Hall on Monday, discussing those plans. For more information you can click on the link under the picture.

Parent involvement
This is a great school! My son has been going here for a few months now and can't say enough good things about them. The teachers are great, they are organized, and care about the kids. They are always doing hand on projects with my 1 year old, having class time , and I can tell the difference when he comes home. He is lore interested in books and is doing very well in his class. I'm a very PICKY parent and this school exceeds the standard!
I can't say enough about how great this school is. My children are both reading way above their grade level. They have small class sizes , which allows the teachers to focus on each child's abilities. They are so caring, not only for the child, but also for the whole family.
Gloria Dei has been a wonderful fit for my family. I have two children that attend school there and they love it. They are challenged and genuinely cared about. They are taught about Christ each day. This is a wonderful school. Everyone is welcoming and parent involvement is very appreciated.
My daughter went to Gloria Dei for 4 years before we moved out of the area. It was hands down the best school we have ever seen! The staff really cared about my child and offered an advanced curriculum. If we still lived in the area, that is where my children would attend school. It's wonderful!
This preschool has caring teachers and aides, follows state requirements, and has lesson plans for all ages.
As a parent of a former student at Gloria Dei, I can say whole heartedly that Gloria Dei is a fantastic Christ centered school. We relocated or she would still be at school at Gloria Dei. After leaving Gloria Dei, my daughter participated in the IOWA basic skills testing in Ohio and did fantastic on the test. The principal and the teaching staff are extremely dedicated to the children. I would highly reccomend the school to anyone. The smaller class sizes are excellent too. They have a new facility and they offer music and sports as well.
Great place for FAMILY in education kids. The teachers a great. TKids get are incouraged to think, excell and continue what interest them. I have one in preschoo;l and 6th. Stop by and talk to us.
This school is by far the best choice of all the other private Christian schools in the Hardin County area. It has loving, Christian teachers that are all accredited and has exceeded my expectations in terms of academic excellence. I have 2 children that have been attending this school for 4+ years and they are academically ahead of friends, cousins, etc. that are in other local schools in the area(public and private). When there have been issues, I have found the teachers and principal very approachable and willing to do whatever to do what it takes to ensure the success and happiness of my children. As parents, it is our responsibility to teach our children and help them grow with the HELP of teachers, clergy, and other family. We must remember, just because we pay to send our children to a private school that does not deminish our responsibility as parents.
5 Stars! This school's environment has been wonderful for my whole family! There is a great opportunity for parent involvement, small class sizes, and a wonderful sense of belonging. My children have really benefited from the personal care they have received thus far. Thank you Gloria Dei!
This school doesn't care about its children. It only cares about the money they bring in. The education is unsatisfactory and not worth the money you pay. You're better off sending your kids to a public school.

Changing wind direction should not blow Maine off course
The wind resource in the Gulf of Maine, once compared to Saudi Arabia's oil output, endures as clean and cheap "fuel."
by Staff Writer
The University of Maine's bid to land $47 million from the Department of Energy to study and develop electric generation from floating turbines off the coast came up short. DOE did give UMaine and its composite R&D center $3 million to continue its work, but there's no way to spin this as good news. At the very least, $47 million that would have circulated through the Maine economy is now bound for other states, and that's a loss worth mourning.
But failing to land the money does not mean the vision of a new energy model has evaporated.
New technology in its design phase always carries a "wow" factor. The striking images of the floating turbine scale models we saw several years ago at UMaine's composite center may have seduced us into thinking that the bright future had arrived. The reality—and it's a reality that plays out with all new technology, from smart phones to nuclear power plants—is that there is a price to pay.
With smart phones have come distracted driving, possible brain disease and shorter attention spans. With nuclear power, which in the 1950s development stage was said to be "too cheap to meter," came the threat of environmental catastrophe and a spent fuel disposal problem.
Natural gas, championed as a relatively clean and welcome domestic energy source, brought with it the problems caused by "fracking;" hydropower often means flooding huge swaths of land, ruining habitat and even displacing populations; tidal power, now being explored in eastern Washington County, has spurred opposition from environmentalists in other parts of the world.
The list goes on and on. There is no silver bullet to solve our energy challenges.
Wind turbines, even floating out of sight of most of the state's population, will cause problems. At the test site off Monhegan where UMaine's Aqua Ventus project would have been established, fishermen rightly worried about losing access to ocean bottom. Monhegan residents, many of whom rely on the tourist trade, worried about the visual impact of the turbines, looming over their picturesque island.
But Monhegan residents also remain in the unenviable position of paying the highest electric rates in the country, four times what those on the mainland pay. And the wind resource in the Gulf of Maine, once compared to Saudi Arabia's oil output, endures as clean and cheap "fuel," if somewhat fickle in reliability.
The loss of the DOE grant could be seen as a crossroads for Maine, leading some to believe offshore wind is yesterday's news.
But walking away from the potential to build a substantial export industry through wind-generated electricity would be foolish. What we have learned is that the industry, though still in its infancy, is highly competitive. Private and public investments are necessary for Maine to stay in the game, and that investment won't fall into our laps.
Impacts to the environment and people should never be dismissed, but at the same time, policy makers must accept that not all the costs that come with new technology can be mitigated.
Human nature leads us to ooh and ah over the latest new thing. Then, when the shine wears off, we're tempted to feel cheated and inclined to write it off. The better response is to roll up our sleeves and keep working. The potential benefits of offshore wind generation are too great to put on the shelf.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan at his June 11 confirmation hearing to be director of the Office of Management and Budget.
If appearances are any indication, Shaun Donovan is a tech-savvy guy. The current secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget read his opening statement in his confirmation hearing from a tablet computer screen, rather than shuffling through papers.
Donovan also told the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that oversight of OMB's IT responsibilities will be a key priority.
"Our IT investments are some of the largest and most important investments that we make, and through my own experience ... some of the places where it's easiest to go wrong," he said.
At HUD, Donovan inherited a failing $100 million IT project designed to reinvent the department's financial management system. Eventually, the project was scrapped, and HUD is moving its financial management system to the Treasury's shared services offering.
"I'm a big believer that OMB can play an important role, because I've lived it," he said.
Donovan also connected the dots between tech initiatives and policy outcomes. He noted that a move by the Federal Housing Administration to adopt electronic signatures for loan documents does more than save time and money in processing. It gives borrowers extra time to review the details of their loan agreements.
A vocal proponent of President Barack Obama's data-driven management agenda, Donovan said, "I love data," at several points during the hearing.
Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) both said they hope that love would express itself in implementation of the Data Act. OMB is taking a lead role in moving the government to a single standard for reporting government spending in machine-readable form.
Donovan said OMB is in the process of trying to understand what system changes and spending would be required to bring agencies into compliances. Portman noted that when he was OMB director under President George W. Bush, he was able to implement the similar Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act without much in the way of extra appropriations. He said the same could be done with the Data Act, which calls for a uniform federal financial data system by May 2017. "If you aren't committed to that time frame, it will never happen," Portman said.
Most of the committee members said former Director Sylvia Matthews Burwell was going to be a tough act to follow, especially with regard to responsiveness to questions from lawmakers. Still, Donovan appears to have an easy path to confirmation. A committee vote is not yet scheduled, but Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) promised quick action. In the meantime, Brian Deese, deputy director for budget, is acting as head of OMB.

I find Rob Portman's statements laughable. "He was able to implement the similar Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act without much in the way of extra appropriations. He said the same could be done with the Data Act, which calls for a uniform federal financial data system by May 2017." He knows better, and knows the scope of the two acts are not similar at all. The state of disparity in financial systems alone, not to mention that fact that the financial life cycle is not even fully automated in many agencies yet, means that full planning and programming to execution down to the transactional level, and the ability to track transactions back to assess planned v. total costs is definitely going to require appropriation. Or is this just a set-up to make the administration look bad, as usual?
Of course if Mr D had been a competent HUD Secretary maybe the confirmation would have been different-and quicker. He talks a good game but fails to carry through. Maybe as OMB director he can dislodge regulations that have been stacked up like airplanes over O'Hare airport for the past three years. Don't hold your breath.
May be tech savvy, may know all the buzz words, may be able to read from a tablet (teleprompter anyone?) but most people at HUD believe he is an empty suit and, quite frankly, like the proverbial "emperor without any clothes". He does not accept anything contrary to what his given thoughts or ideas are, his staff is afraid to tell him the truth or bring any bad news, and he has ruined the morale at HUD (see the Employee Viewpoint Survey for the past several years). But for us, better at OMB than at HUD....

Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter and a delegation of business leaders are getting ready to head to Asia to peddle and promote some Idaho's top-ticket products. The Republican governor and crew leave Friday with stops planned in South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. Taiwan is the state's third largest trade partner and South Korea is a top five export destination for Idaho businesses. As for Vietnam, state commerce officials view the country as an emerging trade partner. Some of the governor's travel partners include the Idaho Wheat Commission and The Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee, which represents about 300 growers and 35 shippers. Food and agriculture products account for nearly $950 million in annual export sales, second only to the semiconductor and industrial equipment sector. The delegation is expected to return April 27.

November 28, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The family company that owns the Las Vegas Sun is launching a new free weekly called The Sunday.
Greenspun Media Group editor and publisher Brian Greenspun says the Sunday magazine is not intended to replace the Sun's daily print coverage of Las Vegas, but will instead complement it with smart reporting comparable to Time or Newsweek.
The future of the Sun remains uncertain. Last summer, three of the four Greenspun siblings agreed to end a joint operating arrangement with the company that owns the rival Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Brian Greenspun sued to block the agreement, and said the end of the arrangement could kill the Sun. Greenspun has sued, and the matter remains unresolved.
The Sunday will debut on February 9, with 65,000 copies distributed to 1,500 locations.

The common complaint one hears is, "The copper plating Copper plating is the process in which a layer of copper is deposited on the item to be plated by using an electric current. Three basic types of processes are commercially available based upon the complexing system utilized. is peeling." Ok, but where is it peeling from, off of the copper surface or from within the via? What about the interconnect (1) To attach one device to another.

Now the question is where is the origin of the blister blister, puffy swelling of the outer skin (epidermis) caused by burn, friction, or irritants like poison ivy. A response of the body to protect deeper tissue, blisters generally contain serum, the liquid component of blood. ? In this case, the good news is that we are only looking at the electroless copper. There has yet to be an electrolytic copper deposit applied to the circuit board, but that is all one can tell at this point.

Nonetheless, this is a defect and must be remedied. The root cause of HWPA is very similar to those that lead to flaking and blistering blis·ter·ing
See vesiculation. .
So, one is dealing with the origin of the blister or peeling deposit prior to electrolytic copper plating. TABLE 1 lists the most common causes for this type of defect. Further information about the hole wall condition can be determined by a careful review of the microsection or through SEM analysis.
Keep in mind that there is no substitute for process control. All of the operators should have a basic understanding of why certain processes must be controlled within the stated limits. This will go a long way in preventing costly rejects.

Nike Heritage Golf Shoes 6 6
Super comfortable Wore them out today for the first time. Didn't even have to break them in. Light & really comfortable. November 11, 2014
Shoe and sole separated after wearing 8 times Nike need to put a "Use By Date" on footwear as the Heritage golf shoes I bought starting falling apart after wearing 8 times and Nike advise they have a "policy of NO RETURNS" if more than 2 years from date of manufacture. It seems they were 15 months old when I purchased from Dicks and I left them in the box for 15 months before I needed to wear them, so actual wear time was 2 months. Poor quality manufacture and even worst customer service and I am very disappointed that Nike footwear is such poor quality and I will avoid in future. November 10, 2014
nice shoes They are comfortable and good looking.also stable when playing golf and walking. October 19, 2014
Great Buy Purchased for my son and he absolutely loves them. They are very classy and he says they are a very comfortable. June 17, 2014
very nice shoe I like this shoe. The spikes really grip the ground. I can walk a whole round w/o my feet getting fatigued or my calves cramped.. They look great and I think they will hold up nicely. Just remember: Nike shoes tend to run a size smaller than other brands.Order accordingly and I don't think you will be disappointed. September 4, 2013
Poor sizing Good looking and well priced. However the product is not TRUE to size and runs VERY small August 1, 2013

OGLE COUNTY (AP) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it's reached a settlement with a northern Illinois sand manufacturer over alleged air pollution violations.
The agency said Tuesday that HA International will install equipment to reduce hazardous chemicals and sand emitted at its Oregon facility in Ogle County. Oregon is about 100 miles west of Chicago.
The company also will pay a $100,000 civil penalty and pay to improve the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems at Oregon High School and the Creston School. The EPA says those upgrades will reduce asthma triggers and increase energy efficiency.
HA International produces resin-coated sand for the foundry and hydraulic fracturing industries.
Complaints from residents about odors prompted the EPA to inspect the facility. Tests showed formaldehyde at levels the EPA deemed a health risk.

David Gaider is a Canadian writer and game designer, working for Edmonton, Alberta-located game developer BioWare since 1999.[1]
Gaider began his professional life providing services at restaurants and hotels, while game designing was a side hobby to him.[2] A friend of Gaider, Kalvin, happened to be working at BioWare and suggested to Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk that Gaider be given a recently opened position in the design department. Gaider got the job and, as his first assignment, was given the task of providing designs for Baldur's Gate 2. He wrote the characters HK-47, Jolee Bindo and Carth Onasi for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and was the lead writer for Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark, on which he wrote both Deekin and Valen Shadowbreath. Gaider was set as lead writer on Baldur's Gate's spiritual successor, Dragon Age: Origins, creating the world of Thedas in which the game is set. He wrote the characters of Zevran, Alistair, Cailan, Morrigan, Shale and Duncan along with the quests "Nature of the Beast" and "Redcliffe".[3][4] After the success of Origins, Gaider also wrote its book prequels, The Stolen Throne and The Calling. Afterwards, Gaider wrote for Dragon Age II, where he had a major contribution to the plot, creating the characters Cassandra, Fenris, and Meredith, and wrote the follow-up novel, Asunder, which was released on 20 December 2011. In 2012, Gaider released Dragon Age: The Silent Grove, a comic series published by Dark Horse Comics.[5] Aside from design and writing, Gaider often posts messages at BioWare's community folder.
Personal life[edit]
Gaider is openly gay, and in February of 2014 he wrote a post on his Tumblr blog, detailing his experiences as a "[video game] developer who happens to be gay."[6]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Business loans and certain grants once handled by the state Department of Development will soon be taken over by a new nonprofit entity called JobsOhio.
State officials outlined some job-creation functions that will move from the state-run department to the semiprivate JobsOhio during a meeting Tuesday with business leaders and elected officials in Dayton.
The west-central area is one of six economic development regions that the state will be divided into under JobsOhio.
Gov. John Kasich created the nonprofit corporation earlier this year to create and keep jobs in Ohio. He says government's processes can be too cumbersome.
Officials say some duties from the department will move to JobsOhio over the next several months. As part of the restructuring, the department is being renamed the Ohio Development Services Agency.

Boycotts of meetings in, and travel to, Arizona are continuing, in protest of SB 1070, legislation passed by the state in April that is considered the strictest illegal immigration statute in the country.
