My first mint julep was made for me by a guy who remains one of my dearest friends and confidants. We were wayward, then, but he has gone on to be a talented and superlative writer, generally. Having at the time (1987) a Kentucky girlfriend and having recently spent four years at Tulane, he knew his juleps. The night ended badly. Blown speakers at my girlfriend's apartment and roof tar all over her nice wood floors—she was pissed, and I staggered out into the early spring sunshine. On the subway home the next morning from 110th and Amsterdam to 39th and 1st—wouldn't you know it—I heard, "Michael?!" An old high school girlfriend had spotted me, my first kiss actually, and still dear friend. She picked lint out of my unshaved face and, with concern and disappointment, Read On »

I had my first cocktail with an egg white in it at The Best Bar in the World, and it was a revelation. A Ramos gin fizz. The egg white gave it the kind of body I'd never felt. (And nutrition! If LA starlets can call an egg white omelet a meal, I can call my cocktail a meal!) I've since become a huge fan of what an egg white can bring to a drink. I even put the VTR Whiskey Sour in Ruhlman's Twenty! Herewith the Friday Cocktail Hour a classic whiskey sour. It's typically made with bourbon, and that's fine, as is scotch. But after last week's Manhattan, which used Old Overholt Rye, I had a rye on the rocks to evaluate it and was impressed by how dry it was relative to Read On »
I'm old-fashioned, I admit, and this is another Friday cocktail post devoted to classic cocktails. It's not because I'm nostalgic (though I am). It's because classics are classics for a reason: they're good. There's a reason you don't have a Swanson's TV dinner in your freezer but will never tire of a well-made Martini. My dad was a Martini man. He was also an Ad Man (who actually looked a lot like Don Draper), a creative director at a Cleveland ad firm where I interned the summer after my freshman year of college. He was a gin drinker. I still remember my first revulsion at gin. I asked him what he had in that plastic cup of his. He told me it was a Martini. Go ahead, he said, taste it. I did.

This hotel, on the far west end of El Paso, has a lot going for it. Very friendly staff, clean rooms, comfy a/c, pretty good breakfast food for a complimentary breakfast. Only two complaints...very minor... 1) The a/c automatically kicks into either cool or heat based on the temp. I like my rooms cool, setting the thermostat to 69. But, when the room dropped to 68, the heat kicked in and the resulting stuffiness woke me up all three nights. I'd rather not have the heat running on mildly cool nights. 2) When I turn on the TV, it's default settings are very loud, and always on a Mexican-language station. I don't mind the station so much (however, most hotels default to a TV-Guide type or some internal hotel family ad station), but the sound is simply too, too loud. Default should be a soft sound. This seems to be an issue at most hotels I stay at, regardless of the brand. Someone needs to get the message. Those two issues aside, I would definitely recommend this place.

Stephen J. Heine, Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen, Peoria, IL, recently received a defense verdict in an FELA case in Illinois state court. The plaintiff was working as a machine operator with a welder, tasked with moving 20 to 30 pieces of rail from one side of a railroad track to the other. Plaintiff claimed that while he was looking backwards and moving over the tracks, he felt his neck "pop". He had a two level discectomy and fusion.
He contended another employee should have been available to help unhook the chain from the rail, that he was rushed because of track time, that a different machine should have been used such as an on-track crane or on-track machine with a flat car, and that he should have been instructed to "step" the rail rather than drag it.
Steve's defense demonstrated to the jury that the work Plaintiff was doing using this equipment was safe and did not cause his injury and called as part of the defense a Caterpillar employee to testify about the equipment and refute Plaintiff's contention that using this piece of equipment for the assigned task was unsafe. A retired railroad employee expert, as well as a maintenance supervisor from another railroad, testified that the work Plaintiff was doing was safe and that the chosen equipment (a frontend loader) was appropriate for the work conditions. In addition, Steve used a biomechanical engineer to refute the mechanism of claimed injury.
Second Case
Stephen J. Heine, Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen, Peoria, IL, obtained affirmance of a summary judgment on behalf of his railroad client for the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Court affirmed the exclusion of the testimony of Plaintiff's expert pursuant to FRE 702 and 703, finding that methods employed by the expert were unreliable. The Court affirmed exclusion of the expert's testimony regarding differential etiology because he failed, pursuant to Daubert and Kuhmo Tire, to follow any reliable methodology in making a determination regarding causation.

text: Sorry this reply is so lengthy... There are still great deals out there on these lenses. I am a huge fan of m42 lenses, have been ever since a pro photographer I used to know gave me a Spotmatic many years ago. So, I have a Pentax m42 bellows and adapters that will let me put it on either my Nikon or my wife's Canon EOS (35mm). As a result I'm always on the lookout for lenses that will fit, and I've found them in some interesting places. Large antique malls - the sort that have many individual vendor booths - often have at least one vendor who deals in cameras and there are almost always a few screw mount items there. I found a Novoflex 105mm bellows lens for $25 this way, and also a complete Pentax S2 Super kit with two 55mm and one 135mm Super-Takumar lenses for $75. Also, if there is a "real" camera store near you, the kind with "junk" bins, it's worth it to have a thorough look - I've found some nice lenses this way as well, including a very nice Super-Lentar 35mm f/2.8 for $5. Finally, check local Craigslist ads and your local Goodwill (also check shopgoodwill.com) because these things turn up there all the time and often go for a fraction of their value. Finally, some people are literally giving them away: the college where I teach recently received in donation a nearly-pristine, working perfectly, Pentax Spotmatic with a Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8.

The intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and Lake Vista Drive will be reconstructed starting later this month, resulting in potential traffic delays for nearby residents and for drivers passing between Coppell and Lewisville on MacArthur Boulevard.The entire intersection will be replaced to address pavement conditions, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues, and the addition of a traffic signal. Construction will start Monday, Jan. 12, weather permitting, and will last up to 90 days. The intersection will remain open at all times; however, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, so U-turn movements might not be possible in the confined space and are strongly discouraged for safety and traffic reasons.Access from westbound Lake Vista will be closed at MacArthur during a portion of the project. Signage will be placed on Lake Vista at least a week prior to the closing. All access to Lake Vista during those times will be from the State Highway 121 service road.From a submitted report

The Lewisville Texan Journal relies on citizens who send us information about various happenings in the community. Please refer to the following information about contacting us with your story tips, comments, press releases, and ideas. Thanks!- Press Releases- Social Media- Public Comment Line- Private Tips- PhotosPress ReleasesIf your organization has a press release, please send it to email@example.com. Important things to include that help us to get your information out to the public:- Basics: Who, What, Where, Why, When, and How. You would be surprised how many releases we get that leave out basic information like the location or time of an event, or what the event is, and what guests might expect to do at the event - especially if the name of your event is not something that would make it obvious.- Photo(s): A good photo with your release makes it more likely that readers will be interested, and results in a lot more social media shares. Ideally, you attach your hi-resolution photos (800px wide or better) to the email, instead of embedding in a PDF or Word document. Make sure you let us know if your photo needs special captioning or credit. For events, it's often good to use a photo from a prior year's event. For performances, it's good to have photos of the performers.- Third Person: Please write your release in third-person format, referring to your organization, and using third-person pronouns like "they" or "he" instead of first-person like "we" or "I". This makes less work for us when posting, and gives your release a better shot of being posted.- Links: Don't forget to provide links to your website and social media, as well as any RSVP information you might want people to follow through on.- Timing: We generally post events on weekends, which means it works best if you can get us your press release at least one weekend prior to your event. If you have a preferred release date, or embargo-until date, let us know with your release.- Subject Matter: Regretfully, we just don't have the resources to write stories on everything that comes our way. We focus more on items local to Lewisville, and of interest to a broad swath of our community. Sometimes what we pick up has more to do with time available than how important your story is, so we encourage you to keep sending us releases, even if we don't pick up some of them. Some items work better as advertising, especially coming from commercial entities. For those things, we may talk to you about affordable advertising with The Lewisville Texan Journal.We generally only share fundraisers if they are for a 501(c)(3) organization or school. Fundraisers for individuals or other organizations are typically not taken on unless it is a very compelling story of interest to the community, and we can completely vet its validity.- Reminders: We get so many emails that sometimes things get buried. It won't hurt our feelings if you follow up with us to make sure we received it, or to ask us to share something via social media. Feel free to tag us on social media or message us there to remind us to share something.Social MediaWe maintain numerous social media accounts, but we primarily use Facebook and Twitter. We try to monitor local newsmakers on these sites, but we can't catch it all, so feel free to tag us or mention us, or send us a direct message through these media, and we will do our best to respond. We're happy to share or retweet items of interest to the community.
DENTON - This Wednesday, Sheriff Will Travis, Sheriff's Office Officials, Judge Mary Horn, County Commissioners, and State Representatives cut the ribbon to mark the opening of the new 364 bed building at Denton County Jail. The ceremony was followed by tours of the new facility that allowed citizens to see how the new facility will operate. The ceremony marks the culmination of ten years planning and work on the part of the Sheriff's Office. The building will supply an additional 192 beds to the Denton County Jail Facility as well as additional medical facilities and special needs housing. Further renovation projects for older buildings are planned for the future.On hand were Representatives Tan Parker and Myra Crownover, Judge Mary Horn, Commissioner's Court members, Hugh Coleman, Bobbie Mitchell, and Andy Eads. Representatives from the offices of Representative Ron Simmons, Congressman Michael Burgess, and Senator Jane Nelson also attended and presented flags.Sheriff Travis said, "I want to thank everyone who worked so hard on this project, not only on the building of the facility, but on the planning and coordination as well. Without them, this would not have been possible." From a submitted report. Photo courtesy Denton County Sheriff's Office
Cartoon by David Fitzsimmons, The Arizona StarThe Lewisville Texan Journal supports freedom of expression, and believes that violence is never the proper response to speech that one finds offensive. We believe that satire and ridicule play an important part in political expression, and the free exchange of ideas. We have been known to write some doozies from time to time as well. We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those murdered in the terrorist attack in Paris against the staff of Charlie Hebdo magazine.
By Steve SouthwellThe Lewisville City Council Monday night unanimously approved a special use permit for a drive-in theater to be located on the eastern side of town. Coyote Drive-In opened a successful drive-in theater in Fort Worth in 2013, and is expanding to this side of the Metroplex with a five-screen, 35 acre complex on the southeast corner of Holford's Prairie and Midway Road. (For those not familiar with the location, it's close to SH 121 Business and Fish Hatchery Road.) Drive-in theaters were popular in the 1950s and 60s when they were at their peak, but have seen a revival in recent years, in part due to nostalgia of older patrons, as well as novelty for younger patrons. The concept, for those unfamiliar, is that you drive your car in, and park on one of several rows of embankments around the screen. Visitors will be given an FM radio frequency to tune their car radios to for the audio to the specific movie shown. Movies are projected on a huge outdoor screen, and viewers watch the movie through their car's windshield. Visitors don't have to remain in their cars though; Coyote allows viewers to bring lawn chairs and sit in front of their vehicles. Viewers without cars may choose to rent a speaker and sit on the lawn area in front of the screen.The facility's five Selby movie screens will each show separate double-features every night, with showtimes staggered, but beginning 15 minutes after sundown. A 10,000 square foot restaurant will offer fast casual dining options, and will be open each night two hours before showtime. Amenities include a central open-air pavilion with seating. There will be a kids play area, and beer garden. TVs and live music will entertain visitors before the features begin. Coyote Drive-In says it is "reinventing the nostalgic drive-in theater with advanced technology and upscale amenities for a lively, family oriented entertainment venue." Currently planned pricing is $8 per person, ages 11 and up, and $6 per child, ages 4-10. Children 3 and under are free. Admission includes a double-feature. Outside food and beverages (including alcohol) are not allowed. Beer and wine will be available for purchase in the restaurant.
By Brandon Cooper and Steve SouthwellUpdate: Wednesday, 10:51 a.m.:Another quake in Irving. This one a 2.7 magnitude at 9:57 a.m.Update: Wednesday, 10:23 a.m.:A 2.6 magnitude quake shook Irving again at 8:34 a.m.Update: Wednesday, 5:45 a.m.:Overnight, USGS added two more earthquakes to the list, including a 3.1 magnitude quake this morning at 12:59 a.m. Records were also revised to note a 2.3 magnitude quake yesterday morning at 7:37 a.m., making a total of nine quakes for the area in the last 24 hours. Here's the full sequence of what we have so far:Tuesday:7:37 a.m.: Irving - 2.3 3:10 p.m.: Irving - 3.56:52 p.m.: Irving - 3.68:11 p.m.: Irving - 2.98:12 p.m.: Irving - 2.79:54 p.m.: Farmers Branch - 1.710:05 p.m.: Irving - 2.411:02 p.m.: Irving - 1.6Wednesday:12:59 a.m.: Irving - 3.1Update: 11:36 p.m.: While we were writing the last update, a 7th earthquake happened. We didn't feel it at the time, but USGS has just reported it. Update: 11:00 p.m.: There have been 6 quakes today, all clustered around the same area in Irving. Magnitudes range from 1.7 to 3.6. Earthquakes under 2.5 magnitude are usually not felt, but are detected by seismograph. Four of the quakes were over 2.5. Earthquake magnitudes are on a logarithmic scale, with each point difference meaning a 10 times bigger movement on a seismogram. The strongest quake so far (3.6) was 79 times bigger than the smallest (1.7) but released 708 times more energy.Update 7:00 p.m.: Around 6:53 p.m., residents on Facebook and other social media platforms reported feeling the effects of another quake. We will continue to update on any new developments via this page or via The Lewisville Texan Journal on Facebook.Original story:At approximately 3:10 p.m. local time on Tuesday, residents in Lewisville and Carrollton began reporting feeling what could possibly be reported as an earthquake. Residents can report if they felt the quake to the USGS here.Residents have previously reported feeling the tremors of quakes in 2011, 2012, and as recently as November of 2014. Environmental activists have speculated that there may be a connection between the recent quakes and natural gas drilling activity, but industry representatives have long denied it. As we reported in 2012:Quote:
Since the question will arise, here's a map via the Texas Railroad Commission showing the epicenter in relation to the nearest gas wells. There IS at least one injection well nearby, marked on this (now updated) map below. The well, operated by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. is drilled to about 14,000 feet total depth, or 2.7 miles deep, and is located just South of the DFW Airport.We are not at this time assuming that the quake had anything to do with gas wells or injection wells, since we don't yet have any sort of volume data on those wells, or have a full layout of where they are. We just know that there has been a correlation with quakes in North Texas and injection wells, and that people will want to know where the nearest injection wells are. This one appears to be about 5 miles away from the first quake. Another injection well, also operated by Chesapeake, is located near the North entrance of DFW Airport.Injection wells are used to dispose of salt water that is produced as an unwanted byproduct of natural gas wells. Typically, they are drilled into formations below those containing natural gas, and many thousands of feet below water tables. The concern some have is that the volume of water could push rock formations and trigger quakes along faults.
The Lewisville City Council received an update Monday night in workshop session on the status of the FM 407 interchange with I-35E. Project spokeswoman Kimberly Sims said that the current FM 407 bridge over I-35 would be demolished sometime between mid-February and early March. The configuration at that interchange will be switched around so that I-35E main lanes will go over FM 407, which will become an underpass instead of a bridge. The new Southbound lanes of I-35 are being constructed on the west side of the current highway. Once the FM 407 bridge is demolished, crews can complete the southbound overpass.The FM 407 underpass will be located south of where the current bridge sits, straightening out FM 407 to make it a straighter shot from east to west.By mid to late 2015, AGL says they will have two lanes of FM 407 open under I-35. In the mean time, for about 6-8 months, traffic will be detoured. Eastbound FM 407 motorists will use Summit Avenue south to get to Valley Ridge Blvd and access I-35 from there. They can continue on the northbound service road to access eastbound FM 407. Westbound traffic on FM 407 can take Mill Street south to Valley Ridge to access I-35 E or Summit Avenue, which will get them back on FM 407.Both ends of 407 will still have access to I-35 during the closure. After the southbound lanes are complete over their new overpass, northbound traffic will be shifted to share the new bridge while the regular northbound lanes and bridge are constructed. The current schedule has that bridge being complete in spring of 2016 and the entire FM 407/ I-35E interchange completed with all lanes open in summer of 2016.You can learn more about the I-35 E expansion project on the 35Express website.Update 1/6/2015 - 2 p.m.:We have been advised that the presentation document we used to compile this article had outdated information about the length of the FM 407 closure. We have updated the article to note that FM 407 will be completely closed across I-35 for 6-8 months, rather than reopening 2 lanes in the spring The Lewisville Texan Journal will post updates as we learn more about the schedule.
By Steve SouthwellHappy New Year! As we reflect on the year that just passed, and spend time in reflection thinking about what we will make of 2015, we thought it would be nice to share some wishes for our community in 2015.#1: Less violenceIn 2014, Lewisville suffered numerous shootings and robberies at gunpoint. One man was a victim of senseless random shooting on I-35 that took his life. We had a man who popped out from under a bridge and assaulted women. We had a very dangerous shooting incident in front of an apartment complex, and just down the street, a police chase ended with an attempted carjacking, and the suspect shot by police after shooting at them. A quick look at our police blotter on any given week shows numerous instances of family violence, and those are just the cases reported. We know that much more goes unreported. Violence happens everywhere, and Lewisville is not immune. This does not define who we are as a community, but it represents a risk to each of us who live here. We don't really have answers to this complex problem, but finding ways to reduce the violence in our community would be our highest wish for Lewisville in 2015.#2: Finishing the PlazaThe Old Town Park Plaza / Ferguson Plaza project has been a long time in the making for Lewisville, and it's beyond time to wrap it up and get it completed and opened to the public. Delays have been a source of frustration and loss for businesses in Old Town Lewisville. The park will be a beautiful place to relax and have a picnic lunch or let the kids play in the water on a hot summer day. It will host all types of outdoor events and festivals, and just be a pretty place to hang out. The contractor said they would have the park done by April 1st, 2015, but we hope that is not just an April Fools joke. There has been good movement on this lately, so we truly hope it's done before then.

Intelligent mirror shows what you will look like in 5, 10, 20 years
February 14, 2005 Accenture Laboritories is working on an intelligent mirror that analyses your behavioural patterns and can show you what you'll look like in five years time. The mirror is designed as a health-aid to assist people in visualising the long term outcomes of their behaviour and modify their behaviour accordingly. In actual fact, the mirror is a computer-driven LCD screen that captures your image with a digital camera and then based on what the entire system is monitoring of your lifestyle and behavioural patterns - the complex mix of diet, exercise, calorific input, activity levels and the amount of social drugs such as alcohol, tobacco et al imbibed and so on.

January 2, 2005 A report by the U.S. Surgeon General in September 2000 directly linked oral hygiene to general health. The findings concluded that a single toothbrush can harbour millions of microorganisms that translate into bacteria - bacteria which thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. The VIOlight Toothbrush Sanitizer & Storage System was created to address these problems. Most people simply rinse their toothbrush after each use and put it in a cup or holder, believing that they have removed these bacterial threats. This is not the case. As the Centers for Disease Control stated in their January 2002 report, "Even after being rinsed visibly clean, toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic organisms." In addition, brushes kept in a common holder may cross-contaminate one another, spreading colds and flu among family members. The VIOlight Toothbrush Sanitizer & Storage System is a consumer product that utilises a Germicidal UltraViolet (UV) bulb - the same technology used in hospitals and dental offices - to eliminate germs and bacteria.

December 7, 2004 An implantable, brain-computer interface the size of an aspirin has been clinically tested on humans by American company Cyberkinetics. The 'BrainGate' device can provide paralysed or motor-impaired patients a mode of communication through the translation of thought into direct computer control. The technology driving this Brain-Machine-Interface breakthrough has a myriad of potential applications, including the development of human augmentation for military and commercial purposes.

November 29, 2004 The accelerated pace of working life is increasingly shaping social dynamics and forcing global culture to multi-task functions that were once constrained to the home. First there were tanning salons, then oxygen bars, and now, entrepreneurs in New York City have made a business of power napping, offering workers 20-minute naps in customised, futuristic-looking pods from a suite in the Empire State Building in a trend that could quickly spread worldwide.

November 27, 2004 Smoking is a filthy habit as even users will concede, but despite a myriad of quit smoking products like nicotine patches and chewing gum, smoking is still one of the hardest habits to shake. Another weapon is now available to would-be quitters in the form of the "Cigarette Counter" - a small, US $5 electronic counter designed help smokers keep their habit under control and reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke. The Cigarette Counter clips to the top side of the cigarette pack. It has four buttons - Reset/ Add/ Subtract/ On-Off - and has a display that shows the numbers. Read More
November 20, 2004 FitDeck, a new cardgame developed by a former Navy SEAL, enables the creation of your own random fitness workout by simply shuffling the deck and performing up to 50 exercises pictured and described on the card faces.

November 15, 2004 The most important piece of office equipment is arguably the chair, as it has the most direct influence on the user and contributes to health, efficiency and productivity over extended periods of time. Yet many people continue to suffer from bad seating that causes back and spinal problems and occupational health and safety issues for business. Now Australian based Bionomic Seating Solutions has unveiled a new design in ergonomic seating that works to save your entire body from the stress of sitting. The result is an optimal body posture, which means less fatigue and higher productivity for you and your team. Read More
November 13, 2004 The Freeze-Framer software and hardware package from Heartmath is an interactive program that measures stress levels and their effect on your physiology to help better manage your emotional and physical performance and facilitate heart-brain synchronisation. Using Freeze-Framer's fingertip or ear pulse sensor that plugs into the USB Port on your computer, you can watch in real time how thoughts and emotions affect your heart and autonomic nervous system. With the Freeze-Framer you can objectively monitor your heart rhythms and confirm when you have achieved an autonomic nervous system balance, just like a one-on-one personal coach that helps you reach your own goals.

November 5, 2004 An innovative design has been fused with modern technologies and contemporary aesthetics in the Chunc Junior, a manual attendant controlled paediatric wheelchair for children and young adults with moderate to profound disability. Mobility products makers Chunc designed the Chunc Junior in conjunction with a clients and healthcare professionals to take into account the users needs as well as the impact of the wheelchair on those it comes into contact with. The wheelchair has been designed for both indoor and outdoor use, but not specifically for rough terrain, so care should be taken when operating in extreme environments. Read More
November 2, 2004 Scientists from the Singapore Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have invented a method of manufacturing polymeric lens materials that can be loaded with eye medication for ophthalmic drug delivery applications. Currently, when a person suffers from eye ailments they will be prescribed eye drops. However, 95% of the medication administered in this manner flows to where it is not needed. The drops usually mix with tears and drain into the nasal cavity, where they can flow through the blood stream to other organs and cause serious side effects. In addition, dosage through eye drops is inconsistent and difficult to regulate, as most of the drugs are released in an initial burst of concentration. To counter these problems researchers have been studying the use of contact lenses to deliver eye medication. One proposed method was to pre-soak the lenses in the drug solution, while another involved incorporating the drug solution in a hollow cavity made by bonding two separate pieces of lens material. However, neither of these methods proved very effective at delivering medication for extended periods of time. Read More

Pregnant Kristin Cavallari Lounges in a Cutout Suit With Shirtless Jay Cutler
Kristin Cavallari and her fiancé Jay Cutler escaped to Cabo San Lucas over the weekend. The couple were spotted relaxing by the pool at their resort with friends on Saturday after arriving in Mexico on Friday. They traveled south of the border to attend pal Kendhal Beal's wedding. Kristin, who was a bridesmaid, covered her baby bump in a red dress for the wedding rehearsal on Friday and kept her growing belly covered up during her afternoon in the sun. She wore a black cutout swimsuit to hang alongside shirtless Jay, and when they weren't chatting with pals, Kristin read a book in her lounge chair. Kristin announced her pregnancy in January, and since then, Kristin has shared her cravings for cupcakes and tacos on Twitter.

HSPVA to get $80 million makeover with roof terrace, outdoor dining
During HISD's 2012 bond campaign, the $80.2 million price tag for a new High School for the Performing and Visual Arts drew some concerns, with the cost estimated at $107,000 per student. The design plans are in for the five-story, 168,000-square-foot campus for our city's "Fame" high school. The new downtown site, closer to the […]

Ex-HISD spokesman returns as Grier's chief of staff
A familiar face will be returning to Houston ISD on Monday.

Hot topic of magnet schools up for HISD board talk
Thursday may be cause for frustration or festivities for some magnet programs in Houston ISD. The school board has an 8 a.m. meeting with the not-very-specific topic of "Magnet Program Update."

HISD board approves tax rate, class-size waivers and more
Perhaps the most-watched item on the Houston school board agenda Thursday was raising the tax rate, but votes on class-size waivers, moving expenses and bonuses also generated discussion among trustees. And there was some other news, too. To recap: * The board voted 7-1 to raise the tax rate by a penny, the second rate […]

HISD to hand out smaller bonuses
Houston ISD teachers, aides, principals and higher-level administrators will be eligible for smaller performance bonuses under a plan the school board will consider Thursday.

"Delicious! After pan frying my chicken breast I chopped up in small pieces. Then mixed the chicken with the sauce (which I added a little more cream to) and baked. I fried up some red peppers and added to my chicken after I plated. Boyfriend does not like peppers. Will make again."

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Here's the August 2013 version of the community suggestion thread.
Please feel free to suggest any content that you're interested in seeing in PlayStation Home. This is a thread for content suggestions (clothing, LMOs, spaces, etc.), not for functionality. Thanks, and have fun!
Tip For a good Suggestion Post:
Include screenshots If you can find a screenshot of what you want, please include it. Thanks in advance for collecting images, reference art, etc. to best illustrate just what you're talking about.
Three words, "Central Plaza Apartment". That means both from Closed Beta & Open.
Lockwood must undergo a special transformation. They must change their logo to a camel...licking a wooden pole.
Lockwood no more. WE WANT LICKWOOD.
A real suggestion: a night time version of harbour studio....sounds weird but i think it could be done
A daytime version of the playground

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 318
Rated 1 out of 5 by Adriana16 Never again
Your front desk gave bad service inexperienced and no knowledge of simply questions. Housekeeping did not take our plates and cutlery away left them dirty in the room on both occasion, as well as left unwashed wine glasses, Decor was below standard you should be a 3 star hotel at the most the whole place is run down and in need of refurbishment. Food prices are overpriced considering standard is quite poor. No Mirage merchandise in store. Minibar not stocked. Television poor viewing needs an update. Clock in room unable to change to correct time. Furniture and carpet throughout hotel looked ragged. Poor lighting throughout hotel inside and out.

Rated 2 out of 5 by VegasTraveller Miami Vice
If you are looking to shoot a Miami Vice throw back video this is the place for you. Otherwise I would probably avoid this property until they get new management and a new owner that cares.
Great Location
Beautiful Pool Area
Friendly Staff
Original 80's rooms and carpets (giant stains, nothing works, worn and dated)
Food is mediocre at best (we learned early to order delivery from town when we wanted to stay in)
Pools are nice but the towels are mixed and old and there are tons of kids screaming in every pool and spa?
Food running out of items like napkins at breakfast and refusing to use cloth saying they are for lunch and dinner?
Many more just book at your own risk

Rated 3 out of 5 by sydoz56 Not 5 star
This came recommended as 5 star. Its is far from it..It's still in the 80's. very antiquated.
Room /bath was dirty. No activities. 1 bar closes at 8pm! the other at 11pm! This is a resort! Charge for room service?? I have never had that before. The prices are very high for what you get .. Food need improving. Buffet is the same every day.. boring.. general staff friendly but mostly know very little about the hotel, the food pretty much anything. The in room safe is way too small. Not impressed. I cannot believe the rave reviews from some people

Rated 4 out of 5 by Holiday1111 The pool is great for kids to explore
Our motel room was a bit outdated as expected but clean and beds quite comfortable. Awsome pool but not sure if due to school holidays extra chlorine was used but our swimmers and shirts were bleached pretty bad. Maybe goggles would have been good as well but apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.

Rated 3 out of 5 by JennyMMR Perfect for family relaxation
My husband, daughter and I have just enjoyed our 2nd trip to Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas. We love it! If you want the perfect family holiday with 100% relaxation at a great budget - then this is the place for you! We love the acres of pools and the acres of gardens to wander. We can't wait to go back there again next year!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Drewie3 Great Pools
The interior and exterior of the hotel is dated however the rooms are spacious and the facilities are great. The pools are stunning and very clean and make for great holiday photos. The hotel room rates are reasonable and affordable for a family. The buffet breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice and fresh food. Il Pescatore restaurant was disappointing - overpriced, small and very basic tasting. Pool bar is good but understaffed - trying to do to much with too little i.e. towel exchange, drinks/cocktails and food service with limited staff who seem stressed and unhappy. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend and return to the hotel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lori45 Christmas time
We had lovely stay at Port Douglas Sheraton everything was wonderful excluding Christmas Dinner which we paid $169.00 for! Which would have been fine for the seafood feast but I did note that I was vegetarian and was extremely disappointed that nobody arranged for anything to be made for that as it was a lot money for soup and salad. A little bit under staffed but it was the busiest time of the year so no problem there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jules29 Another Lovely Stay
I have been coming to the Sheraton since the 90's for holidays, conferences and work and now my partner and I try to spend at least a week every year just relaxing and recharging there. Yes the hotel is due for a refit but it's still an absolutely splendid place to stay. Personally I prefer the less formal more relaxed vibe. The pools are incomparable - you can always find a quiet spot in sun or shade. The staff are always friendly, helpful and welcoming and it always feels like we're coming back to stay at a friend's magnificent beach house! It's a wonderful location and we heartily recommend it for a great holiday. Thanks folks - hope to see you again very soon.

Determine how and where food will be collected. You can use boxes, barrels or bins. Small to medium-size boxes work well for food drives. We can deliver barrels with at least 48 hours notice.
Give us a starting/ending date and location of the drive. Once collected, you can deliver the food directly to us and we can give you a food bank tour. Call us and we will come and pick it up. Due to higher fuel costs we will make the pick ups based on our current truck routes. This could take a couple of days depending on the service area location.
If you are using our barrels to collect food they come with a poster or wrap that says "Food Drive to Benefit Second Harvest". You may decorate the barrels by wrapping them with paper and then decorating the paper. PLEASE do not mark on the barrels or barrel wraps.
Appoint someone in charge of logistics; i.e., barrel locations and the physical collection of the food. Set a goal: Decide how much food you would like to collect during your food drive. How many potential contributors do you have? How much can you expect to collect? Will you collect food or cash-or both?
Consider holding internal competitions (between departments, floors, etc.) Award the winners with special recognition such as pizza, etc.
Spread the word!!! Create a poster explaining your food drive and post it on walls, barrels, etc. to inform others. Put small fliers in paychecks, and mention in other communication with your group, like e-mails and newsletters.

Million-dollar mystery: Union Gap lottery winner yet to come forward
"I came down during my lunch hour to check my lotto tickets, somebody's happy, I'm going back to work," said Larry Broderson.
Someone out there is holding onto a piece of paper worth $7.3 million.
"That's just a lot of money. That's a lot of money. Their lucky whoever claims it," said Dave Morehead.
"Well, I've got to figure out who that is, they'd become one of my best friends," said Chuck Grimm.
Right now, everything else about it is a mystery. The winner hasn't contacted the Lottery office to claim the cash. Until that happens, not even the 10 stores in Union Gap that sell Lotto tickets will know if they sold the winning ticket.
"We don't know, I'm hoping we do, but I don't know. It's the not knowing that's driving me crazy," said Rainier Place manager, Rosa Mullen.
And, the stores have a stake in it too. The one that sold the winner gets a cut, about $73,000. Lottery officials say it's not unusual for a big winner not to come forward right away. Some people take their time to get legal or financial advice.
"They could pay off their house, they could buy their kid's vacations forever, their college, anything, I think it's awesome," said C.J. Hunt
Someone out there has an awesome payday waiting. He or she has until February to collect a cool $7 million.
In case you have a ticket and haven't checked the numbers, the winning combination is 07-08-16-21-31-32.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I purchased the unit for it's renowned tuner but also for a replacement of my clock radio. The tuner is everything as claimed and nearly as good as a very high end tuner I currently own. The sound quality is also much better than expected. Where this unit falls apart is with the sleep functions. I could not get the snooze function to work as the radio would never come back on. An email to Tivoli revealed that the snooze must be activated within 120 seconds or it simply turns the radio off. This information was NOT in the manual! I know I'm not counting down from 120 seconds the moment the alarm awakes me from a sound sleep... Poor design. I've also discovered that the clock runs from the single AA battery at all times. It should run from the AC and only rely on the battery for back up. Another poorly thought out design. The two most important sleep functions are an afterthought and in my opinion not worth the cost or questionable functionality. If one were to add a second speaker the total would be $250 or $100 more than a model Two. That $100 only gets you a cheap battery operated clock and useless snooze function. Instead, spend your money on the model Two, the $80 sub and a wall timer. That's what I'm doing... You'll have a better system and save a few dollars as well!

Hi Maura... Just read your posting of 20 Feb to the message board. Would you please contact me? I maintain the maaaaaaany family trees for the surname Kean(e)y & would like to expand what little information you've already posted. With so many Glenfarne area Keaney's I expect I'll connect you to other line/s rather quickly. Was it Keaney's Bar that Kitty ran? Do you know about the Keaney reunion planned for Ireland the 1st weekend of August 2002? I am also spearheading that (actually I think it's spearheading me!!) I live in Warwick Rhode Island where many Keaney's from the Ballinamore area immigrated. Where do you live? I'll look forward to hearing from you!! Gayle Keaney

Veneto-born Chef Renzo Geminiano has worked outside Italy, and it shows in his inventive cuisine. He clearly knows the classics—and how to make them dazzle. Chef Renzo runs this small, intimate restaurant—a favorite of many locals who like to eat well—with his wife, sommelier Stefania Angelini (a native of Ferrara), whose wine list is carefully culled and well priced. The menu's divided into fish and meat, and choosing is agonizing. In winter, much game is on offer
and the carpaccio di cervo e finocchi (venison carpaccio with slivers of fennel atop a wild berry coulis) is a perfect way to begin; followed, perhaps, by deboned quail and artichokes. Fish is equally well prepared: the antipasto of raw shrimp with grapefruit and avocado is heavenly.

GameStop: new Xbox won't block used games
US retail chain GameStop has poured cold water on claims that Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor will somehow prevent used games from being played.
In January, a Kotaku report claimed that Microsoft's next console would use Blu-Ray discs and feature "some sort of anti-used game system". Speaking during an investor call yesterday, CEO Paul Raines said Microsoft should be wary of thwarting pre-owned games because trade-in credit does much to stimulate sales of new releases.
"We think it's unlikely that there will be a next-gen console [that blocks used games] because the model simply hasn't been proven to work," Raines said, according to Kotaku.
"Remember that games have a residual value. Remember that GameStop generates $1.2 billion of trade credits around the world with our used game model. Consider taking used games out of that – you'd have to find new ways to sell the games.
"And our partners are good partners. The console companies have great relationships with us."
GameStop's annual results go some way to reinforcing Raines' comments. As we noted yesterday, hardware sales of $1.6 billion show how important the retailer is to the platform holders.
While pre-owned sales brought in $2.6 billion, revenue from second-hand products paled into comparison to sales of new games, which totalled $4.04 billion.

LAHORE: Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Senator Aitzaz Ashan has said that the Election Commission could not change date of presidential election.
Speaking to media on Saturday, he said the Pakistan People's Party has nominated Raza Rabbani because he hailed from smaller province and there were no corruption allegations against him.
He said prime minister, National Assembly speaker and Senate Chairman all belonged to Punjab and the other provinces have been deprived while allotting coveted posts.
Ahsan said that he would try to convince other opposition parties to support Raza Rabbani in the presidential election.

I am an easy going guy that likes to smile and have fun. I have two
awesome boys -ages 7 and 5 and I share custody of them with my ex.
We have a good co-parenting relationship - no drama here. I enjoy
being active - I play in a soccer league, I make sure I hit the gym
a couple of times a week, and I fit in some swimming, tennis, and
hiking when I can. I also enjoy relaxing with friends over a good
glass of wine while solving the world's problems (or not). I am
originally from Ohio though I just celebrated being in the OC for
22 years. I look and act younger than I am. You decide if that's
good or bad. My motto in life is nothing is sacred at the expense
of humor. Life is short so I try to enjoy every day. I think my
friends would describe me as tall (duh), laid back, nice, fun,
quick to laugh, smart and easy to be around.

My husband and I were looking for a weekend away from Atlanta and found this great, charming out-of -the way place. The owners were very hospitable and helpful with questions we had about the area. They also recommended restaurants nearby that were outstanding. We had a wonderful time! Would definitely recommend staying here!

We stayed one night in this beautiful B&B with spectacular, spacious rooms. Lynn was incredibly easy to work with for the reservation and super friendly. It has an amazing location right next to the lake and a fantastic park with some nice hiking trails. The bathroom had an old charm, but was updated with the latest (and best amenities). The breakfast was top notch and there was plenty. All of this for a very affordable rate. When I am in the area, I will be returning to the Lake Allatoona Inn.

This was a one night close to home get away night for me and my husband for his birthday. Neither of us had ever been to a Bed and Breakfast, so we decided to try it out. We stayed in the Colonel's Quarters with the Jacuzzi tub. We thoroughly enjoyed the area, the room, the breakfast on Sunday. We will definitely be back!

A great place for a getaway. The innkeepers were very nice and accommodating. The suite we had was very nice and opened onto a balcony. The surroundings of the property were very well kept. Close to the lake so that you could enjoy fishing, walking, etc. We would highly recommend a visit!

Not only is this Inn beautifully restored and well taken care of but what sets this experience apart is this charming, efficient and knowledgable family. We were welcomed before we even arrived, and after a stressful trip even my horse was shown hospitality. Lynn Smith is an exceptional hostess I feel I have a new friend.

Features at the family run Lake Allatoona Inn in Cartersville that made me feel pampered were a heated tile floor in the bathroom that was comforting even in summer; a heavenly pillow top mattress on a king size bed and cable TV ( love HGTV!). Good blueberry pancakes were served with bacon and sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns and fruit for Sunday morning breakfast. For the spirit, seeing horses peacefully grazing on clover behind the B&B is truly relaxing. Special events take place in an adjacent facility so, if sharing your evening with wedding guests in the yard isn't what you envisioned, ask if an event is taking place when you will be there. The lake is behind a tall embankment and you need to take a short walk up a path to the top of the embankment to see the water. In the late afternoon, I took a walk along the shaded path where the Civil War Battle of Allatoona Pass took place. About a half mile along the pass, I found a path down to a small peninsula overlooking the lake and sat there enjoying the view. Traveling solo, I loved interacting with the Smith family who owns the Inn and the array of animals on the grounds. A friendly little 2 1/2 lb dog greeted me for breakfast Sunday morning- fully grown but teacup size. On the farm side, Lynn introduced me to her Leonberger dog; rare polish chickens and white doves (for weddings held on the property). Owner Lynn rescued a thoroughbred and a pony who are leading the good life now with her three other horses. Her palomino had a white, blue-eyed foul (rare color called cremello - just about 10 days old. Then, there was Polly, a miniature donkey with tons of personality. Polly followed us around wanting butt rubs and brayed loudly in protest when we left to go back to the house. You need to sign a waiver to go on the farm side so ask if interested. For me, the Inn was the perfect getaway and was like visiting friends with a really cool place!

During the months of November, December, January, February and March, it is unlawful for any person owning or in custody or control of a boat or trailer to park or leave standing on the streets, the police department reminds North Platte residents.
The city ordinance applies to any boat, boat trailer, pontoon or pontoon trailer, except for the purposes of loading and unloading, and then only for the length of time necessary to load or unload the boat or trailer, police spokesman Rodney Brown said.
Also, when conditions are favorable for winter storms, residents are encouraged to park in a garage, a surface lot or on secondary side streets so crews can clean and clear major streets that are designated as snow routes.
The following alert will be used to notify the public of snow emergencies and will be publicized by the news media.
"The city of North Platte has declared a snow emergency, effective (fill in the time the emergency was declared.) All vehicles and trailers parked on a snow emergency route are to be removed, or those parked on a designated snow route during a declared snow event, are subject to ticketing and towing.
