Great Overall – It's hard to review a restaurant if you've only eaten there once, and I think that's the problem with some of the previous reviews. I've eaten at Houston's quite a few times, and I highly recommend it. The wait can be long if you go at a busy time, but it is well worth it for great food and friendly, professional service. The view is amazing and sets a wonderful date atmosphere. The restaurant is great for groups also, and every time I've been here I've seen businesspeople meeting over a delicious dinner. Although the restaurant is marked as pricey, there are definitely affordable sandwiches and sides.
hamburgers are excellent! – wait is long and restaurant is pricey BUT food is good. hamburger is excellent!
The attitude problem goes from bad to worse. The hostesses are somtimes nice, sometimes not. The waitresses are usually quite nice and personable. The barmaids are another story. They don't seem to be very experienced. But they make up for it with a VERY poor attitude. They could use a course in Customer Service. And an attitude adjustment.
Food here was served cold. – When the food made it to the table, the burger was cold as were the fries. NOT suggested to anyone!
Limited Menu – I love the view, and the aroma of the place when you walk in is marvelous.To me the menu is a little pricey and very limited ie,very little side dish selectionand the fries think of cold McDonalds.Most of the food they do have on the menu is good and the service is great.
A+ – The location is convenient. It was crowded but that means that the food must be excellent, and it was. I would love to have it be delivery and a little less expensive.
But other then that, it is my favorite restaurant to dine at.

Question: What is red and itchy, but can also be bumpy, lumpy, or scaly?
Answer: If you said a rash, you're right!
Types of Rashes
A rash can also be called dermatitis (say: dur-muh-tye-tus), which is swelling (puffiness) or irritation of the skin. It can be red, dry, scaly, and itchy. Rashes also can include lumps, bumps, blisters, and even pimples. Most people have had a rash or two. When you were a baby, you probably had diaper rash!
But some rashes, especially combined with a fever, can be signs of serious illnesses. Hives, also called urticaria (say: ur-tuh-kar-ee-ah), also can be serious because they can be a sign of an allergic reaction and the person may need immediate medical attention.
Hives, which are reddish or pale swellings, appear on a person's body when a chemical called histamine (say: his-tuh-meen) is released in response to an allergen. The trigger could be a certain food, medicine, or bug bite. A virus also can cause hives.
Here are some other common types of rashes:
- Eczema (say: ek-zuh-muh), also called atopic dermatitis, is a common rash for kids. Eczema can cause dry, chapped, bumpy areas around the elbows and knees or more serious cases of red, scaly, and swollen skin all over the body.
- Irritant contact dermatitis is caused by contact with something irritating, such as a chemical, soap, or detergent. It can be red, swollen, and itchy. Even sunburn can be a kind of irritant dermatitis because it's red and might itch while it's healing.
- Allergic contact dermatitis is a rash caused by contact with an allergen (say: al-ur-jun). An allergen is something you are allergic to, such as rubber, hair dye, or nickel, a metal found in some jewelry. If you have nickel allergy, you might get a red, scaly, crusty rash wherever the jewelry touched the skin, like around your finger if you were wearing a ring. Urushiol (say: yoo-roo-shee-ol), an oil or resin contained in poison ivy, oak, and sumac, also can cause this kind of rash.
What to Do If You Get a Rash
Some rashes form right away and others can take several days to occur. When a rash appears, you usually know it because it will start to bother you. If you develop a rash, tell a parent or another adult as soon as you can. For instance, you might want to see the school nurse if you are at school.
Try not to scratch. If you do, the rash may take longer to heal and you'll be more likely to develop an infection or scar.
A visit to the doctor is a good idea if you have a rash. Although all rashes may look alike to you, a skin doctor called a dermatologist (say: dur-muh-tol-uh-jist) knows the difference. And knowing which kind of rash you have can help the dermatologist choose the best treatment to heal your rash.
For eczema, the doctor may suggest special moisturizers called emollients (say: ih-mol-yunts). Emollients retain the water in your skin, keeping it soft and smooth while soothing the itchy feeling.
For poison ivy, the doctor may recommend cool showers and calamine lotion. In more severe cases, a liquid or pill medicine called an antihistamine might be needed. It decreases itching and redness.
For rashes that are caused by an allergen, including hives, the doctor will probably want more information. He or she will want to find out which food, substance, medicine, or insect caused your rash or hives. The doctor might recommend a medical test to determine which allergens are causing you trouble. It's important to find this out because the best way to prevent rashes and hives caused by allergens is to avoid the problem food, substance, medicine, or bug.
Rash Prevention
Prevention is also the name of the game when it comes to other kinds of rashes.
- If a poison plant is your problem, learn what the plant looks like and avoid it. It also may help to wear long sleeves and pants when you're camping or hiking in the woods.
- If bugs bug you, have a parent help you apply some insect repellent when you'll be going outside.
- For allergic dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis, try to avoid that substance. If you are allergic to nickel, wear only nickel-free jewelry. Or if you discover that bubble bath bothers your skin, don't use it.
- With eczema, stay away from harsh soaps that might dry out your skin. Also, make an effort to moisturize your skin with creams or lotions. Short, cool showers are a good idea, too, because hot showers and baths can further dry out your skin.
- When it comes to sun, you should always wear sunscreen to avoid a red and itchy sunburn.
Being a kid means getting a few rashes. But now you know what to do if you get that awful itchy feeling!

From Green Right Now Reports
Many reports are taking Gov. Rick Perry's energy plan to task for focusing on dirty fossil fuels and promoting jobs numbers for oil and gas development that crumble upon examination.
The New York Times says Perry's plan to extend drilling on public lands, in the arctic and the Gulf of Mexico resembles "a wish list for the oil and gas industry" and appears to have been drawn from a study by Wood Mackenzie consultants paid for by the American Petroleum Institute.
The Atlantic reports that Perry is far off the mark when he claims that expanding oil and gas drilling and rolling back EPA regulations would create 1.2 million jobs.

Disadvantages of Privatisation
1. Natural Monopoly
The most efficient number of firms in some industries, such as tap water is one. Therefore it is better to have a public monopoly rather than a private monopoly which can exploit the consumer.
2. Public Interest
e.g public services should not be run as profit making bodies. For example, in the case of health care, it is feared privatising health care would mean a greater priority is given to profit than patient care.
3. Public borrowing will increase in the long run because the government no longer gains the profits
4. Problem of regulating private monopolies
5. Rail Privatisation in the UK unsuccessful

Times (UK):Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partners bank balance.
...Womens orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner, said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.
He said: Increasing partner income had a highly positive effect on womens self-reported frequency of orgasm. More desirable mates cause women to experience more orgasms.
This is not an effect limited to Chinese women. Previous research in Germany and America has looked at attributes such as body symmetry and attractiveness, finding that these are also linked with orgasm frequency. Money, however, seems even more important.
Even More
What a study! :eek:

Hello Ladies,
I am looking for an experienced midwife who would consider attending a home twin VBAC. The first baby was born by c-section after a face presentation was dscovered in late pushing. The mother is very motivated to have a vaginal birth but conditions in her home city in Canada restrict her to a hospital birth.
Any suggestions, hints, advice?
Dear Rlvka,
You wrote, " Any suggestions, hints, advice?". Yes!! Insist she find a midwife who wil attend her at home! She will be very hard pressed to find a caregiver in the western medicine world who will support her desires.
She could come to Hawaii!! I've done one vbac twin home birth and am up for another!!
It is difficult for her to find a midwife who will attend her at home ... I agree with you absolutely. I will let her know you are available. Are there places to stay near you?
Where abouts is she in Canada? I know of one midwife in my area (near your area) who is not affiliated with the system. I can't say if she does VBACs or what limitations she puts on her practice, but if it interests you, I could give you her number.
Anyways, I'm just seeing this post now, it may be too late?
Also, Rivka, I was given your name when looking for a doula about 8 years ago! Small world But for whatever reason you were not available and I ended up with a student doula who got to witness my son being born at home by accident, and all was WELL

Abstract: The therapeutic use of viruses against cancer has been revived during the last two decades. Oncolytic viruses replicate and spread inside tumors, amplifying their cytotoxicity and simultaneously reversing the tumor immune suppression. Among different viruses, recombinant adenoviruses designed to replicate selectively in tumor cells have been clinically tested by intratumoral or systemic administration. Limited efficacy has been associated to poor tumor targeting, intratumoral spread, and virocentric immune responses. A deeper understanding of these three barriers will be required to design more effective oncolytic adenoviruses that, alone or combined with chemotherapy or immunotherapy, may become tools for oncologists.

Hollie Pinchback and the Illini take on the Michigan State Spartans this weekend.
April 30, 2010
Illinois-Michigan State Game Notes
Illinois-Michigan State Series: Illinois leads 11-6
Last Meeting: Illinois 13, Indiana 3 (3/28/2009)
Streak: Illinois has won two straight
Great Start
Illinois is off to a 35-5 start to the 2010 season, handily marking the best start in program history. The previous best start for the Illini was in 2003, when the Orange and Blue started the year 21-7. Four of the Illini's losses have come to ranked opponents in No. 2 Michigan, No. 9 Stanford, No. 18 Oklahoma State and No. 20 Ohio State. San Diego State stopped Illinois' 10-game winning streak on March 14, which was just one off the school record of 11 consecutive wins, set in both 2001 and 2003. Moving Up The Rankings
Illinois remained at No. 18 this week in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25 after earning the same ranking last week. The Orange and Blue recieved their first ranking of the season on March 2, coming in at No. 21. The Illini also are ranked No. 19 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll. The Orange and Blue are approaching their highest ranking in school history, as the team finished the 2004 season ranked No. 17 in the NFCA poll.
Perry Earns Big Ten Honors
Sophomore Pitcher Monica Perry was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week on Monday, April 19 after leading the Illini to a sweep over Penn State last weekend. Perry matched her career high 12 strikeouts in Saturday's game and followed up with eight more strikeouts on Sunday. The series improved Perry's record to 17-4 for the season with 25 appearances out of 37 games. This marks the third Big Ten Player of the Week honor Illinois has received this season, following first baseman Meredith Hackett on March 21 and third baseman Kelley Wedel on March 1.
Zymkowitz on a Tear
Junior second baseman Danielle Zymkowitz looks to already be in her 2009 All-American form, as she is batting .420 to rank third in the Big Ten. Zymkowitz also ranks third in the league in runs scored (46) and has a total of 58 hits, which puts her at second in the Big Ten. The team captain has gotten a hit in 32 of 40 games this season. Her career batting average is currently .372, which ranks first in Illinois history.
Zymkowitz broke the single season stolen bases record against Ohio State on April 10. She now has 32 stolen bases for the season to surpass the old record of 23 stolen bases in a season set by Rachelle Coriddi in both 2003 and 2006. Zymkowitz is also second on the career stolen bases with 66. Coriddi has the Illinois record with 87 stolen bases from 2003-06. Zymowitz ranks fourth in the country and third in the Big Ten for stolen bases.
How About That Offense
The sixth official NCAA statistical report came out on April 27, with the Illini offense ranked among the nation's best in several categories. Below is a list of where they stack up compared to the rest of the country through games played as of April 25:
Category NCAA Rank Stat

Win-Loss Percentage 3 .868
Batting Average 10 .326
Doubles per Game 9 1.66
Slugging Percentage 19 .516
Best In The Big Ten
Illinois has found success throughout the lineup this year, leading the Big Ten in almost every offensive category. As a team, the Illini rank first in the league in batting average (.326) and on-base percentage (.410). The Illini come in at second in the conference for the categories of hits (355), slugging percentage (.516), runs scored (279), doubles (64) and RBIs (243). For the season, the Illini are outscoring opponents 279-96 and have scored seven or more runs in 24 out of 40 games.
Individually, offense features three batters hitting above .400 to rank among the best in the Big Ten. Sophomore first baseman Meredith Hackett holds the second-place position batting .422, while junior second baseman Danielle Zymkowitz ranks third with a batting average of .420. Senior outfielder Hope Howell ranks fourth with a .418 batting average.
Last Time Out
The Illini took home the sweep over the Indiana Hoosiers in a midweek doubleheader this Wednesday, scoring 5-4 and 9-0 victories. Monica Perry struck out eight batters in game one, and Pepper Gay came in for her third save of the season. Gay improved her record to 12-1 on the season after striking out seven batters and allowing only four hits in game two. Meredith Hackett was hot at the plate going 4-for-4 with three runs and four RBI in game two, while Hollie Pinchback hit a career-best two homeruns in the same game.
Scouting the Spartans
Michigan State is coming off of a sweep over the Oakland University Golden Grizzlies on Thursday. The Spartans took the 5-4 win in extra innings in game one, and followed up with a 4-0 victory to secure the sweep in game two. These wins end an eight-game losing streak for the Spartans.
Last year vs. Michigan State: The Illini defeated the Spartans 13-3 last year at Eichelberger Field. Monica Perry allowed only three hits in the game. Hollie Pinchback hit a grand slam to lead the Illini to the victory, she was 2-for-2 at the plate with four RBIs and three runs.
Big Ten Honor For Hackett
Sophomore first baseman Meredith Hackett was named Big Ten Player of the Week on March 22, receiving the accolade after batting .400 (8-of-16) at the USF - The Game Tournament and leading Illinois to a 4-1 weekend record. The Corona, Calif. native hit three home runs for a slugging percentage of 1.063, also leading the team with eight RBIs.
Illini Solid On The Mound
The Illinois pitching staff has been very successful so far thisseason, holding a team ERA of 1.95 that ranks second in the Big Ten. The Orange and Blue are much improved from last year, when the team posted an ERA of 4.17. The Illini have also already tallied twelve shutouts in 2010, compared to just four in all of last season. Freshman Pepper Gay is off to a 12-1 start with an ERA of 1.64, while sophomore and staff ace Monica Perry is 19-4 with 136 strikeouts.
Perry had a stand-out performance against New Mexico at the Children's Hospital Invitational, pitching her third complete game shutout of the season and striking out eight batters. On April 17 she threw a one-hitter against Penn State and struck out a season-high twelve batters. Gay's highlight thus far has been her performance at the NFCA Leadoff Classic, when she picked up three victories with a tournament ERA of 1.11, striking out seven batters and earning a shutout against Radford. The two pitchers combined for a one-hitter against Indiana State on March 31, with Perry leading the way with six strikeouts in five innings.
Freshman Jackie Guy and senior Ashley Wright have also been effective in relief for Illinois, giving up just seven runs in 16 combined appearances.
Hackett Heats Up
Sophomore first baseman Meredith Hackett has been swinging the hottest bat on the team as of late, boasting an eleven-game hitting streak and six home runs over an eleven game span ending on April 10. She was the only player to reach base more than once against #2 Michigan on March 27, going 2-for-2 with a home run and a walk. Hackett now leads the Illini and ranks second in the Big Ten with a .422 batting average after hitting .229 last year. She has already surpassed her RBI total from last season with 44 RBIs so far this year compared to 21 as a true freshman. She had four RBIs against Indiana on April 28 when she was 4-for-4 with three runs.
Home Sweet Opener
Illinois opened its season at Eichelberger Field on March 17, defeating in-state rival Illinois State 8-7 in a back-and-forth game. The Illini were able to take advantage of five Redbirds' errors, scoring four unearned runs. Catcher Audrey Gallien had a big day at the plate, with a double, home run and three RBIs.
NFCA Leadoff Classic Champs
Illinois was crowned champions of the NFCA Leadoff Classic on Feb. 28, going a perfect 5-0 over the weekend. In the 23-team field that featured seven ranked teams, the Illini and Missouri were the only teams with an undefeated weekend record, with the Orange and Blue earning the title due to their run differential over opponents. It was Illinois' second tournament title of the season, as the team opened 2010 with a perfect 5-0 record at the UNLV Sportco Kick-Off Classic.
Wedel Earns Conference Accolade
Sophomore third baseman Kelley Wedel became the first Illini to be named Big Ten Player of the Week in 2010, earning the honor on March 1. At the NFCA Leadoff Classic, Wedel led the team in batting average (.538), hits (7) and runs (7) while adding two doubles and a home run with a slugging percentage of .923. She had a particularly good game in the 12-2 win over Mississippi Valley State, with a double, home run, three runs scored and a career-high four RBIs.
All-Tournament Honors
Sophomore third baseman Kelley Wedel and redshirt freshman shortstop Jessica Davis were both named to the NFCA Leadoff Classic All-Tournament Team after leading Illinois to the tournament title. Wedel batted .538 (7-for-13) for the tournament with a slugging percentage of .923, while Davis hit .400 (6-for-15) with a slugging percentage of .867 and two big homers, including a walk-off against No. 22 Florida State on Feb. 26.
Walk-Off Win
Illinois picked up its second victory over a ranked opponent on Feb. 26, with a thrilling 4-3 come-from-behind win over No. 22 Florida State at the NFCA Leadoff Classic. The Illini's third victory over a ranked opponent was also a come-from-behind win (3-2) over No. 20 Ohio State. Redshirt freshman Jessica Davis gave Illinois the walk-off win in the bottom of the seventh with a home run to dead center against Florida State, and Junior Ashley Conrad did the same against Ohio State.
Heroic Howell
Senior captain Hope Howell was exceptional at the plate in Illinois' four wins at the Stanford Nike Invitational, batting a scorching .714 (10-for-14). She led the team over the weekend with 10 hits and six runs scored while also contributing four RBIs. In the Illini victories, the senior also led the team with an on base percentage of .733 and a slugging percentage of .786.
National Exposure
The Big Ten Network released its 2010 spring schedule, with Illinois softball receiving unprecedented exposure. The Illini will have five games televised nationally on the BTN, while an additional eight games will be streamed on BTN.com. For a complete schedule, see the box at the bottom of page 3. In addition to the BTN coverage, WDWS AM 1400 will broadcast at least three Illini home games in 2010. Those games will also be streamed on fightingillini.com. The following is a list of the scheduled radio broadcasts: Illinois on WDWS AM 1400
Thursday, April 15 vs. Eastern Illinois, 6 p.m.
Saturday, April 24 vs. Wisconsin, 3 p.m.
Saturday, May 15 vs. Minnesota, 1 p.m.
First Grand Slam of `10
Sophomore third baseman Kelley Wedel hit Illinois' first grand slam of the season against Kent State on Feb. 14, breaking a scoreless tie in the fourth and propelling Illinois to a 10-0 win. It was the first grand slam of Wedel's career and the 20th in program history.
Another Tough Slate
Illinois and head coach Terri Sullivan are known for scheduling the toughest schedule possible, embracing the theory that to be the best you have to play the best. In 2010, the Illini will face 19 teams that qualified for the 2009 NCAA Tournament, including four teams that advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals and two 2009 Women's College World Series participants in Missouri and Michigan. In total, five Illinois opponents in 2010 are ranked in the latest USA Today/NFCA poll.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Microsoft will begin delivering the new version of Windows Phone 7, code-named Mango, to its customers within the next two weeks, the company announced Wednesday.
"For months, we and dozens of our partner companies have been laying the groundwork for the Windows Phone 7.5 update--and making solid progress. As a result, we now expect to start rolling it out in the next week or two," writes Microsoft's Eric Hautala, general manager of customer experience engineering for Windows Phone, in a Sept. 21 Windows Phone Blog post.
Why Mango Matters
Windows Phone 7.5 (WP7) brings dozens of new features to Microsoft's mobile OS, which needs a refresh to stay competitive with Apple's iPhone and Google's Android platforms.
Mango's Start screen now let users create personalized live tiles for their friends or groups. And the updated People Hub provides a single interface for Facebook, LinkedIn, Outlook, Twitter, and Windows Live Messenger updates, saving users from having to switch between apps.
Mango has tighter integration with Skydrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service. For instance, Office users now can access SkyDrive via the Office hub, and can pin Office documents to the Start screen--a feature reminiscent of the Windows desktop.
Other Mango enhancements include browser support for HTML 5 and hardware-accelerated graphics, as well as YouTube, LastFM, and Slacker integration with Windows Phone's Music + Videos hub.
Bootleggers Beware
Version 7.5 updates will be paired with software updates from handset manufacturers, and Microsoft is advising Windows Phone 7 users to avoid bootleg copies of Mango.
"This matched and paired firmware has been painstakingly tuned so your phone--and apps--work with all the new features of Windows Phone 7.5. Since your phone requires the proper firmware to function as designed, my advice is simple: steer clear of bootleg updates and homebrew tools," writes Hautala.
Microsoft issued a similar warning in April, when it warned WP7 users to avoid an unauthorized tool for downloading two software updates.
In conjunction with the Windows Phone 7.5 rollout, Microsoft will refresh its Where's My Phone Update? table to give WP7 handset users a better idea of when Mango will arrive.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Mr B., had to explain the Zoot Suit riots, best I could, to my 13 year-old a few weeks ago. Believe it or not, she was watching the film "American Me" on cable at the time. Saw your post here, and brought her down to read the article. I like passing history on to my girls, even if it's from questions raised by movies sometimes...
Thanks for the good posting!

I'm glad that you and your daughter got some use of the article. I think its wise to look back on history now and then,
this way we won't forget what some people went through, at the time of this incident in the article I was about 8 years old , I remember the Zoot-Suiters well in fact one of my uncles was a Zoot-Suiter, men I can still see his "Drapes", we use to call the Zoot-suiters "Pachucos"
Frank B.
In the East, large numbers of young black men wore zoot suits
during the early 1940s. One of the young men who wore a
zoot suit was Malcolm X. Did black fashions have an
influence on young men of Mexican descent at the time?
My mother remember a young Mexican-American man whose
parents tried to prevent him from wearing a zoot suit in
the small California town of Santa Paula.
In light of the story of ZOOT SUIT RIOTS featuring fights between
servicemen and young Mexican-Americans who wore zoot suits
during World War II, large numbers of young men of Mexican
descent were in the American Armed Forces during the war,
racking up quite a record.

There were 17 Mexican-American Medal of Honor winners during world war two.

the movie "zoot suit" that starred edward james olmos and was made after the very popular play is a great one to see. olmos plays "el pachuco" a kind of zoot suit spirit. if you get the chance check it out. olmos was great..." i didn't tell you to kill the vato".....
Olmos also played the "Pachuco" in the play, a play that I was able see, the movie does't do justice to the play Imo.
"I did't tell you to kill the vato"
Greg you said it just like Olmos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frank...sorry to say i missed the play. heard it was really great. that might have spoiled you because i still consider the movie under rated and for some reason it is hard to find and rarely shown on cable. never forgot olmos character or his pronounciation.." a marijuana fantaseee". one of the coolest parts ever written and eddy james played it perfectly.

My 13 year old daughter caught this flick on cable (On a day I wasn't home, go figure!) and gave it good a review, only saying that "The guy who played Selena's Dad was a little creepy but good."Originally Posted by gregbeyer
