The Melting Pot - Arlington TX
Online Reservations
Great night. Melting pot is my wife favorite restaurant and we drove 2 hours to come enjoy it perfect date night.
I enjoyed The Melting Pot very much, I have known about the restaurant for some time now but never had an occasion to go. My boyfriends birthday seemed like the perfect time and neither one of us had experienced fondu before so the new experience was great! The only surprise we had was the cooking of our own entree, but it was a pleasant surprise nonetheless. The caramel pecan chocolate fondu was amazing!
Tired of eating at the same resturants? Well, melting pot is a awesome place to try something different. Great experience, but is pretty pricey.
First time there....loved it. Food was terrific and our waitress from Yarmoth, Maine was outstanding. Only draw back is that you are VERY far from our home in Flower Mound..
This was my first time at the Melting Pot and my date and I loved it. We have decided that appetizer and the dessert, we can skip out on the main course since it's meat dipped in broth...We would like it better if it had cheese! MORE CHEESE!
We only visit the melting pot a few times a year. This particular time was enjoyable. Our server was very educated in the menu and the service was outstanding. Since our last visit the menu has changed in regards to how you order, such as the big night out is no longer on the menu, but they offer a managers special witch is practically the same thing. We will be back.
My wife and I have been regular customers since this location opened. Everything is always perfect here, and we've never had anything less than a 5 star experience. We've had multiple family birthday and special occasion dinners with groups of up to 20. We've tried just about every cheese, salad, and entree and have not disliked anything yet. My wife has tried every chocolate on the menu and they are all awesome. Can't say enough good things about the food and the service.
My family and I went for a nice dinner on the Labor Day Holiday at the Arlington Heights location. The look and feel of the restaurant spoke of class and elegance . The food was delightful and the service superior. We are so happy we ventured out and tried The Melting Pot for the first time. Thanks for the wonderful dining experience!
We had such a relaxing evening here and were able to enjoy the time leisurely. We really savored all of our selections. The Melting Pot was a great place to reconnect with each other as we were able to talk in our own private booth without others staring at you. We would highly recommend this place for a night out with your significant other. Perfect ambiance!!!! The staff was very friendly and helpful and they weren't overbearing at all. I can't wait for my next date night here.
Didn't know what to expect. Just heard about the Melting Pot via some of my co-workers. Very nice ambience. The server was very knowledgable. The food was great!
Love this place! It's an addiction really. It's a little pricey so I can't go all the time but I still love it!
It was the best experience I've had at any restaurant. Well worth the price. Waitresses are very attentive, I felt as if we had the whole place to ourselves. Great food. Great presentation. Will recommend it to anyone and everyone.
I've dined here a few times before, and the food is consistently delicious. However, my service tonight was not up to par. Our waitress seemed to have very selective hearing. Long story short, she gave us the wrong cheese fondue, said she'd come back with another pot that she'll make in the kitchen and never did come back with it, she took my salad and fork up before I was even finished with it (she took my plate as she was asking if I was done), and during our meal we had to remind her to bring us an iteem multiple times. My friend just got so irritated that she just flagged down another waitress. Next time we come back, we're going to specifically ask not to sit in her section.
I have been attending Girls' Night Out at The Melting Pot every so often for the past year and a half. It is always a wonderful experience. My friends and I look forward to the opportunity to catch up and relax from our regular schedules. The service is friendly and attentive, the food is delicious, and the vendors always bring great items for us to check out.
This is the place to go for a special occation. Whether it's a 'Thank You', a proposal, or a chance to be with good friends, this is a great place to spend an evening!
My husband and I enjoyed the Melting Pot on a recent "date night". We tried the Hob Nob Wicked Red wine and it was great. The whole dining experience was fun and everything was perfect!
This was my first time ever going to the Melting Pot and I can definitely say it was an amazing experience. The food was awesome & this wasn't like any other restaurant I've been to before. It was a very romantic setting and I loved the privacy between the booths. I'm definitely going to go back. Absolutely loved it
This was a first time visit - two adults and two teenage boys. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the experience. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and personable. The boys - who were initially skeptical - were fans after this visit.
My wife and I had a great time. Service was beyond awesome. The manager s special was a great deal.
Great intimate settings, waiter was great he even remembered a note I personally wrote along with our reservation. It was my bestfriends bday and they had a card waiting for her at our table that the staff all signed it was nice. We let them know we all were fondue virgins lol so they were very patient and explained everything in great detail. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will Definately go bk hopefully soon as soon as my pockets can afford too...food was delicious although I did not enjoy the chicken pot stickers! Those were very gummy and chewy...eeewww
The salads, fondue steak/shrimp, dessert & service were amazing!!!
It was nice experience,romantic and the server was great (josh) the food was good and the dessert was awesome. Thanks for a great night.
I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this restaurant as it was relaxing, very comfortable and private. The food was fresh and of good quality. The only thing that I failed to realize is that I would be cooking my own entree which turned me off because I like to have someone cook for me when I dine out...so this place would be an option when I am out for a girls night out or didn't have such a hard and exhausting week at work:)
We went to celebrate our anniversary and had a great experience. If you would like to try something new this is the place. The service was excellent.
I have been to the melting pot before and other fondue places, but this location had the most amazing service. The food was excellent as always. We were celebrating a birthday and when we arrived a birthday card was given and once the manager knew we were celebrating a birthday he gave a box of chocolate covered strawberries. I will definitely return.
Fondue and cooking on the table was a very different dining experience. Menu was complicated but our server did an outstanding job explaining the options. The fondue was very flavorful and was a great start. Cooking the meat, chicken and shrimp to the exact degree of doneness made for a delightful meal. The chocolate fondue for desert was the cap on a great dining experience.
We have several restaurants on our list for special occassions. The Melting Pot is consistently a winner for us. Our most recent visit was no exception. The readability of the menu has improved dramatically since our last visit. It is much simpler to read and still has several options. We always do the 4 course meal, which makes for a 3 plus hour dining experience. If you have less time then just do one or two courses. The service is attentive and keeps up a good pace without making you feel rushed. The novelty of fondue makes for a fun evening - great tasting too!
We love this restaurant for any romantic special occasion. Great food, fun and romantic. Its a great place to go for a special night out that is still high end, delicious and enjoyable for both the food junkie and those of us who tend to stay home most nights. They have always been extremely accommodating with mixing and matching or substituting items. Wait staff is always helpful, and the food has been fantastic everytime. One note, all booths are not created equal here. Our first few trips where in a back booth, we literally felt like the only ones in the place, perfect for romantic dinner. Our last one was in the middle of a row, still great dinner, but you may ask about this if you're looking for more quite.
This is my husband's and my go-to for special occasions. Valentine's Day, dating anniversary, and now our 6 month wedding anniversary (wedding was April 13th). The ambiance is romantic, the experience forces you to slow down and enjoy your time together rather than feeling rushed, and the food is amazing (especially desert. Oh, my!)
The food is great, but really enjoyed the experience
Went here for a nice night out with the wifey. Service was up to par, food as good as always. Only went for cheese and dessert, but was good for us to stay on the budget we set for ourselves. Happy!
My girlfriend and I thought this would be a nice place to eat and catch up after not seeing one another in years. We enjoyed the food and had a great time! You do need to plan for extra time. This is not a place where you can rush through the meal.
The was a great place for a get-away for couples the seating for two is secluded and to Feel by yourself. The food was OK, the portion a tad small. Generally seemed over price, but if you concern is a romantic get-away and the get-away is worth the price then it is a great spot. We will go again, but only a special occasion for this spot. May take my daughter she would like it, and letting her know what she should expect from a date is important before the wolves come calling. This is an every three year type of place
Very good food! Great interaction for the family! A lil costly but worth every penny!
My 7 year old daughter loves the whole concept and chose this restaurant for her birthday dinner. They made her feel so special with balloons and chocolate!
I took my wife to Melting Pot Arlington to celebrate our 18th. year anniversary together and the Melting Pot delivered! Nice, quiet, romantic setting and great service and friendliness by our waitress Monica and David Hatala. It was also a nice surprise to find out that the bill was actually lower than what I had expected to spend! Will definitely return with friends. Keep up the good work!
Very relaxed, romantic atmosphere. Schedule a few hours to ensure the opportunity to enjoy the whole experience.
I went with a group of girl friends and we had a blast. The food was great and the atmosphere was perfect!
Took my girlfriend here to celebrate 5 years. The service was a little rushed to get your order but polite nonetheless. The food is more entertaining than fine cuisine but it's all about the atmosphere here. We were able to talk forA hours and enjoy each other's company. great time.
The atmosphere was romantic and was perfect for a date night with your significant other. The food and service were both amazing!
Title says it all, it was just another good night out to eat, not great however. When celebrating a anniversary you hope and expect great. We arrived 15 minutes early and were promptly told it would be closer to our reservation time before we could be seated. Alright, do we headed to the bar. Barely had time to order one drink and not even sat down before hostess came behind us and said never mind, we can seat you now. We waited almost 10 minutes before our waitress came to the table to acknowledge us. Seriously, we would have rather waited those 10 minutes in the bar and be seated when she was really ready us then sit around waiting for the other half to be able to order a drink. Other than that the food was great and she was great too.
I really enjoyed my visit! It was my first time. I loved the privacy afforded each table and the service was excellent. The meat cuts were very nice and everything tasted wonderful. We will be sure to visit again!
We go every other year for our anniversary so this is our 5th year. We love the food and aambience!!!
Our server was very kind, but not constantly at our table. They had a great gluten free menu that included breads for the cheeses, and desserts to dip in the chocolates. We will be back.
As always, the Best Friend Fondue night was great. I was the only one of my group who had been there before. They all had a wonderful time, thought the food was delicious and have said they will return!
The Melting Pot is a wonderful warm place to share a special meal and hold a long conversation with an old friend! It can also be a romantic getaway for two or a wonderful family night out! Take your pick, the food is delish!
I took my future wife with the express purpose to propose to her. I informed the staff & did so at the beginning of our time there. They went out of there way to help make the evening an unforgettable experience. Thank you Melting Pot for one of the most amazing evenings of my life!
Our dinner at The Melting Pot was so enjoyable! We took our time and all of the food was terrific! We will be back!
Making a reservation was the key to the evening. I was politely greet with my wife and escorted to our table. The flowers requested were waiting on the table as requested. The server (Paul) was exceptional. He introduced himself and catered to all our needs. Being this was our first time, he clearly explained the process and gave excellent recommendations. The evening flowed seamlessly and provided the experience desired for my anniversary. Great job to the establishment and the servers.
If you enjoy fondue, then this is the place for you! Your entire meal (minus the salad of course) will be done in the fondue style. From the cheese appetizer, to the main course meat selection, to of course the chocolate dessert. They provide the diner with all the dipping foods one could need for the cheese and chocolates, and more than sufficient vegetables for the main course. The choices are greatly varied and highly customizable. It is a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. My suggestions are the ying/yang martini (it's dessert before the meal!) and the snickers chocolate sauce (this isn't on the menu but you can ask for it).

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the long-awaited vaccines for the H1N1 "swine" flu virus this afternoon. It is expected to be available in a month at about 90,000 locations nationwide, the Associated Press reported.
"We will have enough vaccine available for everyone," Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services Secretary, said in an address to Congress today, the AP reports. The government, which does not expect everyone to get the vaccine, has an order out for 195 million doses, but only about 45 million are expected to be available by mid-October. The announcement from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) last week that one dose is sufficient to protect against the virus means supplies will be more robust than they might otherwise have been. Nevertheless, the government is prepared to order more if necessary.
The vaccines, which have been in clinical studies in the U.S. since June, are made by four different firms.
"The H1N1 vaccines approved today undergo the same rigorous FDA manufacturing oversight, product quality testing and lot release procedures that apply to seasonal influenza vaccines," Jesse Goodman, acting chief scientist at the FDA, said in a prepared statement.
Given the initially limited availability of the vaccine, the government still recommends that those who are most likely to have complications from the flu, including children and pregnant women, should be the first in line for the shots.
At least one million people in the U.S. have likely been infected with the virus since April, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and 593 people have died, including about 40 children. The seasonal flu infects from 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population every year and kills about 36,000, according to the CDC. Unlike the seasonal flu, the H1N1 swine flu virus has been found to be contagious for about a week after symptoms have receded. Researchers are recommending people with the flu stay home for several days even after they start feeling better.

i don't get it. millions of people die of heart disease and cancer, and a lot die of regular seasonal influenza, yet these "animal flus" that are quite benign in comparison are constantly pushed as the world's prime health concern.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisHellblade, perhaps this can help you understand why the entire world led by the medical profession is focused on H1N1. It is because it has never been introduced into the human population before and therefore is "pandemic" which means it will infect more than 50% of the population everywhere in the world. There is no present immunity. There is concern that the health system will be overloaded by huge numbers of sick people and even that the basic services will not function properly.
Further, without previous immunity in the population, you see a large number of deaths in the younger population rather than the older. The outcomes of a new organism on the population are not the same as the outcomes of a previously existing one.
Also, when a pathogenic organism jumps from one species to another, it is cause for concern. Trans-special infections are not natural and create...guess what....a pandemic such as what we are facing now.
@hellblade.....PS....are you sure you were at the right site
here. Did you take a wrong turn from Sports Illustrated and landed here by mistake?
There's no reason to get upset. Hellblade was asking a legitimate question, which you effectively answered. These comments and sciam is about freely sharing information. Once you start infusing emotional jabs you inhibit others from sharing info and run the risk of having your innate bias overpower your reasoning and ability to learn.
Food for thought...Doing some math, take these #'s for whatever they mean to you. P.S. Beth, there was a prev. H1N1 pandemic in the late 19teen's, and there is likely (thankfully) improved immunity developed by those folks who were exposed (and are still around with us) at that point in time.
1 million infected in US (at least), 593 deaths = 1/20th of 1% of those infected die of H1N1.
Of other influenza "A" and "B" strains that typically infect the US, there is 5% to 20% (15 million to 60 million using pop. of 300 million in US) infectious rate with ~36,000 deaths. These other viral strains produce higher (1/4 of 1% to 1/16 of 1%, respectively) mortality rates than does this H1N1.
Simply putting the #'s out there, basically my thoughts that this is just another flu virus, and not a need to be a huge concern. Educate yourselves on what the signs and symptoms are, take precautions to prevent transmission to yourself (some may think that means vaccination, and if you want to do that, go for it; others may think that means taking extra precautions to stay clean and prevent airborne transmission), and if you are infected let those around you know and keep yourself away from those who are not infected. The world will continue to turn, don't panic and turn a mole hill into a mountain.
My apologies. 19teen's H1N1 was a human virus, not swine. I stand corrected.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThank you, catgotmytounge. In light of your analysis, the 1976 government promoted swine flu scare and vaccine travesty that followed, there is no way I'm succumbing to this latest government sponsored swine flu scare nor the push to get a vaccine approved by a fatally flawed FDA. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me:
Check out the 1979 CBS 60 Minutes program about the 1976 Swine Flu scare and the lives ruined by the vaccine they had back then:
@Catgot mytongue:
I thought the present "swine flu" is also at least partially a "human" virus. I guess that doesn't really matter so much anyway, I should think some of the older flus would be a combination with some animal virus as well, and actually some of the real swine flus would be coming from human flus as well.
As long as the CDC lingers under a political party administration appointee , there will always be doubt about the sincerity of its data...
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisok~
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisActually Beth, H1N1 has been around before. There is presently an immunity to it... you just had to be exposed to it in the 70's to get it.
This is why the younger people are catching it in disproportionate numbers. It didn't become a pandemic in the 70's, and it's not going to become one today. Despite the scary name due to its protein shell, it just doesn't have what it takes. It's not that communicable, nor is it very fatal to those who do get it.
I'm all in favor of a vaccine. I consider most of the reports of adverse effects of the last swine flu vaccine to be blown way out of proportion. But we don't need to get all bent out of shape until it arrives.
I was sarcastic because of frustration. So much factual information has been painstakingly disseminated across all
communication lines in this country. Yet, without considering any available information, people review an article and make comments such as "Why are they making such a big deal?" Yes, it's a legitimate question, but all the answers can be broken down to their basic levels anywhere on line or in mainstream media. There are suggested basic preparatory actions CDC and the govt are asking people to do, such as having a months' worth of food, water and medications per person on hand as well as hygiene protocols. When people at this late point in time don't even seek out answers, they will likely become part of the population that creates the burden on the system and resources. Since I am one of those who will be somewhere carrying the load of such people in the medical profession, I get tired of grown people failing to take personal responsibility.The medical profession through the media has made a painstaking effort to inform and advise. It is tiring and frustrating when, at this point, some people still seem in a fog. I was just surprised to find this on Scientific American. Sorry if it offended anyone.
It remains to be seen how the virus' potential to attach and thereby infect will be. People are universally susceptible at this point although it is true that one component out of four has in a prior form infected the world's population, thereby creating a transferable immunity, which is believe not to protect one, but to lessen the infection. However, no one living through that season knows if they were exposed to that strain or not.
This virus viciously attacks the lungs themselves unlike most other similar viruses. People who die, die of respiratory failure quite often. Part of the reason young people die is found in the
strength of their biological defense responses, which are so strong it contributes to a negative outcome.
I saw those who came down with Gillian-Barre Syndrome and was involved in their care and treatment at that time. They did have one bad year of the progression and then the remission of the condition, but they lived. It was scary for them to have ascending and then descending paralysis and they required mechanical ventilation when it progressed to their respiratory muscles, which was brief, but as I said, they lived.
I am going to take the vaccine as my personal choice when available. There will be some untoward effects, as with all vaccines, but that is the way it is with all broad medical interventions.
It's very scary what the FDA approves. The last swine flu vaccine in the 70's caused 500 cases of Guillaine-Barre (a paralyzing neuromuscular disease) and had to be pulled. And the pandemic that they were so afraid of, never happened. Just recently (out of nowhere) New York State passed a law mandating healthcare workers to get not only the H1N1 vaccine, but also the seasonal flu vaccine. I am a healthcare worker and I have worked in hospitals for many years. I have never had the flu, nor have I ever had the flu. I am in excellent health -- I work out, eat right, don't smoke, etc. -- Now I am forced to take these vaccines and have to worry about their side effects. This is ridiculous, especially since the high risk group for H1N1 is young people who were never exposed to the H1N1 in the 70's.

The World Is Yours
What the hell happened to the fanfare surrounding a new Motörhead album?
The fact that no one seems to be talking about The Wörld is Yours, Lemmy and Co.'s landmark 20th studio album (or 21st, depending on how you count), is not only surprising, it's downright loony. It's almost as if in the mid-90s someone flicked a switch that knocked the band down to novelty status. Let us not forget that, at least up until last year's release of The Final Frontier, Motörhead was far and away the best current flag-bearer of the Heavy British Invasion's most legendary acts. Iron Maiden, for all their quality, were distant between albums and overblown in scope (again, until they knocked it out of the park last year). Judas Priest's reunion was killer live but lost momentum in the studio. So why no love for Motörhead? They've been kicking tons of rump since the late 90s and have multiple recent albums that compete with their glory years, specifically 2004's Inferno and 2008's Motörizer (my personal vote for their best since 1916).
Well shame on all of you for not raising a pint to the mere thought of a Snaggletooth appearance, and shame on me for not rushing to get this review written as fast as humanly possible to make up for your lagging asses. In short, The Wörld is Yours is another quality addition to the Motörhead library. It doesn't quite achieve the excellence of other recent heaps, but it still shows that they're a band in top form with absolutely zero intention of slowing down their swagger-train one iota.
Upon first listen, The Wörld is Yours appears to be right out of the new millennium Motörhead mold: Lemmy's raspy croon and rhythm-oriented bass, Mikkey Dee's criminally underrated drum skills, Phil Campbell's oft-shred-happy guitar work, a mixture of metalized blues rock with thrash heaviness, and a crisp, clean production. However, further listens reveal it to be a bit more on the rock'n'roll side, meaning that it's also a little less metal than other recent offerings. While Inferno and Kiss of Death had hitherto untouched levels of thrash, tracks such as "Get Back In Line" and "Rock N Roll Music" see the band again bringing out that drunken Chuck Berry side that made "Going to Brazil" a classic. For most of the album the boogie largely outweighs the bombast, but a few later tunes hint at the band's more abrasive and serious side. "Brotherhood of Man" in particular channels "Orgasmatron" in both lyrical content and its unrelenting drive.
That there hints at why The Wörld is Yours is simultaneously a good album and an ever-so-slightly forgettable one: most of the great songs directly channel something that Motörhead has done before. Alright, you could justifiably say that about every album they've done since Margaret Thatcher was in power, but the best albums offer more than a few serious beacons, and most of The Wörld is Yours is just short of the level set by post-millennial ball-busters such as "In the Name of Tragedy," "Brave New World," or "The Thousand Names of God." Still, even if the new material doesn't all burrow into your cranium, there isn't a ditty present that would hamper a live set or a down home boozin', and more than a couple come close to being new classics. The best of these is finale "Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye," a track so oozing with bravado that it singlehandedly improves the album's replay value while further cementing Lemmy's status as a lyrical legend. (The man ranges from George Thorogood to Jello Biafra, for chrissakes.)
There you have it. Maybe the lack of fanfare is based on the band's predictability, but I'll be damned if The Wörld is Yours doesn't still deserve your excitement and command your attention, albeit a little less than other latter-day platters. Lemmy, Phil, and Mikkey are in top-shelf form and clearly still having a shitload of fun after all these years. For fans, it's not so much a question of if you should purchase The Wörld is Yours, just a matter of filling out the more essential parts of the Motörhead catalog first. So get to it.

Your attention is particularly invited to the report of the House of Refuge for juvenile offenders. The average number ot inmates during the year ; was 350. The expense of providing the equipments and instructors requisite for teaching the boys in this institution the most useful manual occupations has been found too great, in the opinion of past Legislatures, to warrant in making the necessary appropriation. A boy, as the case now is, though instructed in the simpler braches of education, leaves the Institution, in most cases, little better fitted to earn a livelihood, so far as manual skill is concerned, than when he entered it. He is to apt, on that account, to fall back into a life of crime. A system of industrial education has recently found much favor, which, not professing to teach manual trades, gives boys a dexterity in handicraft which maybe equally useful in many different trades. It instructs them in the use of what, it has been said, are the "half dozen universal tools," viz : the hammer, saw, plane, chisel, file and square. It is said that "in all the constructions a certain number of typical forms are found, which, being more or less modified, adapt themselves to special cases. These forms will also shape themselves into groups, each to be worked out in a certain way and with special tools; and the student taught to work out these forms each in the best way and with the tools best suited for the work will be far advanced in the skill which will make him available and useful in construction." A boy instructed in this way in a knowledge of forms and acquiring aptness and dexterity in the use of tools, would leave the Institution with a feeling of capability and self-confidence; could more readily obtain employment, and could speedily qualify himself for almost any of the various lucrative trades. One teacher it has been found can instruct thirty-two students at a time in this system, and boys going through the exercises in separate classes at different times, the education can be imparted with very little cost either in implements or materials. I invite your attention to the schools that at Boston, St. Louis and elsewhere, have recently entered upon this new system of industrial education for indigent boys, and to the propriety of such legislation as will give it a fair trial in our House of Refuge.
Under the guise of committing children to this i institution as incorrigible, or as juvenile offenders, children are often sent to it by the Courts who are simply poor, or whose parents, desiring to get rid of the cost of care of rearing them, are willing to make them a charge upon the State. Children merely poor should not be allowed to be thrown into association with juvenile offenders, and the sternest; vigilance should be practice to prevent negligent parents from shifting upon the State the responsibility of maintaining and rearing their offspring. Besides, it is not possible to ascertain to what extent the class of boys intended to be received into this Institution are reformed, if children not criminal or incorrigible are admitted. Sufficient provisions should promptly be made by law against the abuse of admiting boys not belonging to the classes of criminal and incorrigible.
The recommendation of the Superintendent that boys released from the Institution upon tickets of leave shall be placed by law under the surveillance of the Township Trustees in the Counties to which they are sent, seems to be a most judicious one. A knowledge by boys thus released that their conduct was watched by persona of character, for an honest purpose of preserving their morals, would help to restrain them from returning to crime. The additional advantage would also be gained that if they should fall again into a profligate life they could promptly be returned to the Institution for further discipline.
The management of the Reformatory for Women and Girls deserves unqualified commendation. A desire to keep expenditures within the limits of appropriations and to administer the Institution with proper economy, has been constantly evident. The proportion of inmates who, after their return to their homes, lead correct lives is greater than the most sanguine might reasonably have expected.
There is reason for regret that in selecting a site for the Reformatory more regard was not had to convenient facilities for sewerage. The only means for conveying the sewerage from the building is by the current of a rivulet that, after passing through the grounds, runs through a populous part of Indianapolis. With all the care that can be exercised, and an exhaustion of all means of purification, complaints are made of offensive odors. The stream, after passing through the grounds of the Reformatory, runs in part through and in part near the edge of the United States Arsenal grounds, and persons there employed have induced the authorities at Washington to cause a suit to be instituted in the United States Circuit Court at Indianapolis to enjoin the Trustees from allowing the sewage to be conveyed through said stream.
Nothing but a belief that the present Legislature will, by a proper law, provide for building a sewer by which the waste from the Reformatory will be carried off by other means than said stream has, it is believed, prevented an allowance of an injunction. Provision by law for the construction of a proper sewer is imperatively necessary.
An act was passed by the last General Assembly providing for the construction of such a sewer at the joint expense of the State and city of Indianapolis; but, as the consent of the city to bear its proportion of the outlay was requisite before the work could be undertaken, the work fell through, the city not having given the needed consent. As the sewer will be of material benefit to the city, it is just that it should bear a due proportion of the expense.
The necessity for a walled enclosure for the purpose of allowing a space for needful exercise for women sentenced for crimes whom it would be unsafe to permit to be at large upon open grounds is evident, and an appropriation of the comparatively small amount asked for by the managers would seem to be most proper.
The State's Prisons at Jeffersonville and Michigan City are more nearly self-supporting than they have been for several years.
The average number of prisoners at the former Prison during the past year was 564. The average number of prisoners at the Prison of Michigan City was 621.
The specific appropriation bill which failed at the last session of the General Assembly, on account of its consideration having been deferred to too late a period of the session, contained an appropriation of $5,000 for building special wards at the Prison of Michigan City, for the use of insane prisoners, and for a transfer to that Prison of all insane prisoners in the Prison at Jeffersonville. I earnestly urge the appropriation of a proper sum of money for the building of cells at the former Prison for insane prisoners, which shall be remote from the cells of other convicts. The insane convicts are at present, for want oi any other provision, kept in cells so near those of page: 21[View Page 21] other prisoners that their cries at night disturb and frequently destroy the rest of these hardworked men, whose condition at the end of each day's labor requires that they should have undisturbed repose. It is cruel and discreditable to require prisoners deprived night after night successively of needful sleep, to perform the laborious, daily tasks demanded of them by the practice of the Prisons. Insane persons require also a very different attention from that given to the sane, and from that which necessarily they are now accustomed to receive.
The abbreviation of the terms of sentences allowed by statute to prisoners for good conduct is believed not to be sufficiently liberal. No incentive to good behavior is found to be so strong with them as a knowledge that such behavior will shorten the term of imprisonment. I earnestly recommend legislation giving to prisoners whose conduct has been continually exemplary, a larger credit for good conduct on their sentences. The effect of such legislation would be followed, I have no doubt, by a great improvement in discipline, and a lessening of expense in the conduct of the Prisons.
Complaint is made by the city authorities of Michigan City that the sewage of the Prison at that city, which is conveyed into a small stream called Fish Lake Creek, occasions a nuisance injurious to the health of the inhabitants. The growth of the city has recently been rapid, and its limits now extend beyond the point at which this refuse is conveyed into the stream. The necessity for the construction of a sewer by the State seems to be urgent.

Oklahoma City, Okla. – When Sam Gagner was forced to undergo surgery to repair a broken jaw — an unnecessary, unfortunate turn of events caused by the stick-wielding Zack Kassian of the Vancouver Canucks — Ryan Nugent-Hopkins did not alter his timeline.
He will continue to practise with the team and he'll put in the necessary off-ice work to further strengthen his surgically repaired shoulder, but he said he cannot speed anything up at this point.
"Obviously, with Sam out, it's tough for sure, but I don't think I can change anything," said Nugent-Hopkins.
"I want to play as soon as I can (so) it is tough for me to sit, especially when something like that happens, but I just have to be patient because I know in the long run that it will pay off."
When Nugent-Hopkins had the surgery, the Oilers had pegged Nov. 1 as a possible return date. The centre said he's not sure how firm that date is now.
"It will depend on the next couple of weeks. If I'm back sooner (than that), that would be awesome for me. I can't wait to get back playing."
Taylor Hall, who underwent surgery a year earlier than his teammate, said the shoulder will never be perfect but that it will be immeasurably better.
"If you work hard at it, and I know he has, it's going to be fine. He has done really well. He's definitely further along than I was at the same point. Hopefully we can see him back soon — but at the right time," said Hall, who's filling in at centre until Nugent-Hopkins returns.
"Mine was always popping in and out. Same for Nuge. Having to take faceoffs all the time with that shoulder probably wasn't easy. He's going to be a lot better for (the surgery).
"It's a confidence thing too. When you go into a battle with a bad shoulder you just don't have that same level of compete you're going to have with a new shoulder."
Nugent-Hopkins said he's certainly aware now of much stronger the shoulder is since the surgery. "I just had no confidence," he said. "I don't want to make excuses, I could have played better overall, but it didn't help."
Over the last three weeks, with an abundance of players in Edmonton's training camp, defenceman Ladislav Smid said there were teammates he hadn't even played with until Friday's contest at the Cox Convention Center, the home of the Oilers' American Hockey League affiliate.
"I know I haven't seen some of these guys for weeks so it was nice to share the same ice," said Smid. "It was a really good camp. It was hard, there was lots of conditioning, but more importantly, we worked in some systems. That's going to get us through the season and hopefully put us into a playoff spot."
"I haven't seen a lot of these guys on the ice either," said winger Ryan Smyth, who again skated with Hall and Ales Hemsky, a line that has stayed intact throughout the pre-season. "It's nice to get the numbers down, so you can get a sense of where you're going to fit."
David Perron, who was to go out for a test run with Nail Yakupov and Boyd Gordon so coach Dallas Eakins could look at the trio before the opener, was a late scratch (under the weather). Ryan Hamilton drew in instead.
"It's been good to finally come together as a team," said defenceman Nick Schultz. "It's always exciting to get back for training camp, then as the season starts, it's a whole new feel, a new intensity. It's different.
"It's good to get to the starting point."
Following the last of the roster moves, Will Acton found himself holding on to a spot in the Oilers lineup, rather than a ticket to Oklahoma City. Yet there he sat, hours before Edmonton's final pre-season game, still talking about the audition process.
"To be honest, it hasn't sunk in yet," he said.
"I do think I had good approach coming into camp. I just wanted to show that I was improving and catching up to the calibre, that I was finding a way to have an impact.
"That's been my approach the last four, five years, and that's what I'm going to have to do through the season. Obviously, I'm happy to be here and the games are going to start counting, but my focus and mindset isn't going to change.
"That's probably why it hasn't hit me quite yet."
Given that Acton hadn't even played an NHL pre-season game until this fall, perhaps none of this should come as a surprise. He made it this far because he was too stubborn to quit. Acton, who was undrafted, wasn't blessed with the natural skill set of his father Keith, but did get his foot in the door when he landed a tryout with the Toronto Marlies after graduating from Lake Superior State with a degree in finance and economics.
Playing under Dallas Eakins in Toronto obviously didn't hurt his camp in Edmonton. The new head coach knows Acton's game and for the centre, there was a familiarity with the systems and the drills.
Acton, 26, secured the fourth-line centre spot, at the expense of Anton Lander, who will again start the season with the Oklahoma City Barons but knows he will have to continue to improve his work in the faceoff circle.
Who better to continue schooling him than Keith Acton, the former NHL centre who returned to the Oilers this off-season as an associate coach?
"In the past, it's been a way for me to contribute and help the team. Hopefully, I can continue to do that," said Will Acton.
"If you lose a draw in the minors you could usually escape without any harm. Here, if you lose a draw clean in your end, they're getting a pretty good chance on net. That's almost guaranteed. The stakes are a lot higher.
"When I was in minor hockey, (dad) could make it to one game a week or so and after the game, he was always pulling me in to the garage. We'd have two sticks and we'd be going at it. He'd show me techniques or whatever it was that day.
"He's left a big fingerprint on my game, (plus) he knows my tendencies, he knows me better than anybody, so he's been able to help me a lot."
No matter the resources, Acton still had to get through camp, which meant all the mental gymnastics that entails.
"I'm a pretty nervous person by nature, and pretty hard on myself, but at the same time when you reach this level you realize that part of a pro is being able to handle the pressure," he said. "You have to be comfortable in the chaos.
"Obviously, you realize there are jobs on the line and that the stakes are high, but I realized in order to play my best, I had to have my mindset focused on the details. Even as we go here, if I'm still part of the equation, the games get bigger and bigger so that's a good frame of mind to have."

Your Network ID (or NetID) is a name used to identify you on the campus network. It is assigned to you when you first enter the University, and it remains associated with you throughout your time here. Due to the nature of the various campus services which rely on the NetID, it must be created for you, and may not be altered, except in the case of a legal name change. Your NetID password is a combination of 6 to 8 letters, numbers, and other characters that is used to confirm your identity when accessing the network and some services on the network. Your Network ID and password are used to access the network.
Your email/Web Account logon will be the same as your Network ID. Your email/Web Account password will initially be the same as your Network ID password, but it is stored in a different location. When you change one, you must also change the other if you wish for them to be identical.
If you forget your NetID password, you can have either set to anything you wish at the Account Services Desk in the CITESweekdays from 8:30 to 5:00. They will need your University ID (or other picture ID) to help you. Also, a fax form is available for faculty, staff, and off-campus students.

Snowmobile Registration Information
Snowmobiles that are operated on public land or trails in Colorado must be registered with Colorado State Parks. To register your Snowmobile in your name for the first time, complete the Registration Form and return it to:
Colorado State Parks - Registration Unit 13787 South Highway 85 Littleton, CO 80125 (303) 791-1920
You may also register your vehicle at various snowmobile dealers or many State Parks offices. Visit our Snowmobile Registration Agent Location list for the nearest location. Always call ahead to ensure services are available.
Registration Fees The annual registration fee is $30.25. Registrations are valid October 1 through September 30 each year. This is a flat administrative transaction fee – it cannot be prorated for a partial year's registration, and will not be subject to refund if the machine is sold or stolen.
Snowmobile Registration Renewals Registration renewal cards are mailed to currently registered owners each August. You may also renew your registration online by going to the link on the back of the registration card. You MUST have your registration number to renew online or please call 303-791-1920 to get your information.
Purchasing a Snowmobile Dealers are required by law to complete the registration application for you and collect the registration fee before the machine leaves their premises. The dealer will forward the application form to our office, where we will process the request. Colorado residents who purchase a snowmobile from a private party may use their dated bill of sale as a temporary registration for 30 days during the registration application process - see the link to the application form above. The Bill of Sale must be carried on the machine while riding until the decals and registration card get to you in the mail.
Sorry, at this time, on-line registrations for a new machine are not available.
Out-of-state Snowmobiles Out-of-state residents who bring snowmobiles into Colorado must purchase a Colorado Non-Resident Snowmobile permit which is valid from the date of purchase through the following September 30. These permits can be purchased via mail in request or ordered online at the Colorado State Parks E-Store. Once purchased, this sticker should be placed on the machine's outside face of the right front part of the cowling. Since this is only a use permit, no renewal notice will be sent to non-resident permit holders; you must purchase a new permit each year you come to Colorado with your Snowmobile.
Decal Placement Registration decals must be affixed permanently on each side of the upper half of the cowling in a location where the decal can be easily seen. Snowmobile operators must carry their registration card and show it to any peace officer on request. For general decal placement instructions for all types of OHVs and boats, see the Registration Decal Placement Brochure. For snowmobile decal placement, click here.
Where the money goes: Benefits of the Snowmobile Registration Program
Colorado State Snowmobile Program registration fees fund trail grooming, trail maintenance and construction, trailheads, parking areas, trail signs and maps. It also enables law enforcement personnel to identify and return stolen vehicles, encourages safe and responsible snowmobile use, and promotes respect for public lands.
Many different groups benefit from snowmobile registration, including:
Registration funds also enable local, state and federal land managers to better manage our natural resources. Annually, more than $700,000 is granted for on-the-ground trail improvements and grooming. Read more about the snowmobile grants program.

Silicon Carbide is among the hardest of ceramics, and retains hardness and strength at elevated temperatures, which translates into among the best wear resistance also.
Additionally, SiC has a high thermal conductivity,
especially in the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) grade, which aids
in thermal shock resistance. It is also half the weight of
Based on this combination of hardness, resistance to wear, heat
and corrosion, SiC is often specified for seal faces and high performance
pump parts.
Reaction Bonded SiC has the lowest cost production technique with a course grain. It provides somewhat lower hardness and use temperature, but higher thermal conductivity.
Direct Sintered SiC is better grade than Reaction Bonded and is commonly specified for high temperature work.
CVD SiC® is a face centered cubic, polycrystalline form produced by chemical vapor deposition. This material is extremely pure, and is specified for it's excellent thermal conductivity approaching 300 W/mK. It is considerably more expensive to produce than the sintered or reaction bonded grades. ® Rohm & Haas.
