Dan Marino would love Peyton Manning to sign with the Miami Dolphins. Proof of that appeared on Marino's twitter page Thursday when the Hall of Famer tweeted, "Shout out to #18, Indy will never forget your legacy. Can't wait to see you back on the field doing what you do best."
Marino is a Manning fan. Marino thinks Manning would be a great wherever he lands, including Miami. But, you know, actually recruiting Manning to the Dolphins?
Probably not unsolicited.
"I probably wouldn't do that unless he asks for some advice," Marino said at a charity golf tournament today in Aventura. "And he has plenty of people that he's working with to help him make the right decisions."
Don't mistake that for ambivalence. Marino would have no problem pitching the Dolphins because he believes the team has possibilities.
"There's great tradition there," he said. "We've had a couple off years but believe me, they'll be back," Marino said. "It's a great franchise and they'll get it turned around."
But truth be told, Marino said he thinks Manning would be good in Miami ... or Arizona ... or Denver ... or just about anywhere, really.
"I think he fits with anybody," Marino said. "He's one of the best to ever play the game at that position. So wherever he ends up playing, if he's healthy, which is going to be important to Peyton, I'm sure he wants to go out there and play at a high level. Wherever he plays, he'll be a huge impact for that team."

Docking a pontoon boat can be a hairy experience, especially if one if attempting this feat on their own. Taking the wind into account, trying to line the boat up perfectly with the dock cleats, dealing with passengers and potential rogue waves rocking the boat-the experience can be pretty frustrating for a novice driver.
In fairness, because the `toon was built to accommodate many passengers, there is usually no shortage of willing and able helpers at the end of the day as you pull into the dock. But in many instances, the driver cannot count on his passengers to know their way around and be of assistance in the process. This is the case for Luc Cote.
Cote runs Five Star Water Taxi, a boat taxi service for Toronto Harbor in Canada, where a group of islands sit to the south. "It's basically a huge park, only water accessible," Cote said.
Ferries run passengers back and forth, but private boats can also access the islands. Five Star Water Taxi ferries people over using pontoon boats. Cote's taxi drivers do their job without the assistance of a partner, and Cote knew he needed to put safety first.
"I wanted a system that would permit my drivers to perform multiple docking and launching maneuvers in a safe, efficient, and stress-free manner," Cote said. To that end, Cote began work on the Autodock. After some troubleshooting and testing, he arrived at a product that can be used in three different configurations to meet the needs of different types of docking sites, and also allows easy access for the disabled.
Obviously his main goal was to create a system where a `toon driver would be able to dock and undock his boat with no assistance whatsoever. After some research and thinking, he decided a bow-docking plan was the best choice. "By permitting bow-in docking, it is easy to reduce the overall length of dock required for your boat," Cote said. "This feature alone means that Autodock is a cost-neutral product, and in some cases represents a cost savings over conventional docks."
In addition, it is much simpler to drive a boat straight onto its docking location than to maneuver it into a sideways position. In the end, Cote had decided on three basic configurations for the Autodock. The first is a base system just for landing on floating docks. The second also allows for docking at a floating dock, but comes with an access ramp for wheelchairs. The final configuration is for fixed docks or docking on land. With these three options, pontoon boaters everywhere have the ability to dock their boats completely on their own.
It's clear that Cote has revolutionized the way docking works.

Lightweight but not see-through, warm enough for cooler days but somehow cool enough for warmer days, it's been perfect for temps between about 45 and 70 degrees. 'A great look, great shirt by itself or for layering, very comfortable, and worth the money.

Ive been talkin with PK Davis, and he's getting back into making more lifts. If you check out www.ozified.com you will see he's done some updating on his webpage. He's switching all aluminum blocks for lifts, and offering 3.5" for EA81's and i think 4" for EA82's.
I love the way the hatch looks. Took it on a test drive and everything seems to be okay, i have alittle bit more to do... but the hardest part is out of the way.

same here dude looking good........maybe me and jb will be able to keep up eith you now that ur not in the RX!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, I drilled the rims out. The lugs line up, but its not 100% perfect... im sure it will do just fine, if something fails i'll kick myself later, but im sure i couldnt have done any worse than the rest of the board members here
For those of you who want to use CHevy Luv rims, note to self: You need to grind alittle off the front hubs. There are 4 dimples that hold the subaru wheel center, and they are in the way. Just about 1/16" off each one, and the rim should fit. I just got finished with one side, and i ran out of light. Its almost 10pm and i still have yet to eat dinner. So, i'll complete it tomorrow. But for now, i have the rear tires mounted and one front... good enough for some pix!
Sorry for the dark pix. I ran out of sunlight. Tomorrow after I finish the other front, i'll be sure to get some better pix. Maybe take it somewhere and pose on some rocks or something.

But I *liked* Lobst in this form! Nuts... Oh well, I thought it was an interesting explanation anyway. Hmm. I guess this was also why Delgato was the only person Lobst managed to snag, too! Him being a 'Hypedon' as well...
Of course, this brings up an interesting question. Would the process of reversal be instantanious, and therefore freak out Delgato, or will it take just as long as it took to take affect in the first place?
In either case, this is definitely going to be a change unless something else comes up, which I am half-expecting.

Frugality is key.

In addition to showcasing the beauty of campus and reinforcing the brand, another big part of the ohio.edu redesign is sharing information about Ohio University events. Earlier this year, an advisory task force and development team was formed to work on the OHIO Centralized Calendar Initiative that was announced last spring by the offices of the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President for Finance and Administration to determine the requirements and develop the guidelines to consolidate existing University calendars into an enhanced official Calendar of University Events (CUE). In tandem with the redesign of the front door -- which will highlight featured events -- the CUE will receive an updated look that is complementary to the homepage. With a more prominent presence, the CUE will highlight the diversity and vitality of the OHIO experience.
Because events that will be featured on the homepage will be taken from the CUE, it is important that the CUE has all events from all campuses, whether they are departmental or sponsored by student organizations. Even if your event is not on the front door, the world is still only one click away from finding your information so make sure your event information reaches the CUE. Anyone with an active OHIO ID can add events by logging in at www.ohio.edu/calendar/submit/ and filling out the form. For help adding events to the CUE, download a how-to PDF.

They kind of already do...and there have been...but the reason Apple won't face any lawsuits for this is because they are breaking into the Windows browser market, not dominating it. If they ever gained control of that market, then lawsuits may crop up (even still, you can always uninstall iTunes and use the iPod with one of a number of other programs, something Apple would be sure to point out).
Actually, the real reason people won't issue lawsuits is that the initial homepage is set to a video of The Steve, saying with a hand-wave "Firefox is not the browser you're looking for, move along"....but the reason Apple won't face any lawsuits for this is because they are breaking into the Windows browser market...
I completely agree with you. Many times people say "If Microsoft did this... blah blah" and most of the time the comparison is completely silly. But this time it's spot on. And Apple is just as wrong to do it as Microsoft was (and is).
I don't understand the claim that the iPod is a monopoly. It's certainly the most popular. Its popularity means that it's a force in the marketplace, but it's by no means a monopoly.
Well, let's change that a bit...
I don't understand the claim that the Windows is a monopoly. It's certainly the most popular. Its popularity means that it's a force in the marketplace, but it's by no means a monopoly.
You might want to tell U.S. judges that Microsoft doesn't have monopoly, they are just the most popular player
His argument still stands as yours fails to take into account that 99% of the time when a user buys a new PC, they're getting it with Windows, whether they want it or not thanks to Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior.
This happens with Bonjour too. If you install Bonjour for Windows (something that ought to be installed on every Windows box, IMO), you'll be offered iTunes and QuickTime as "updates" later.
Calling installation of a new unrelated application an "update" is pretty underhanded.
The truth is, if it becomes the default web browser and sets the homepage to http://msn.com./ [msn.com.] The people they want to switch, won't notice the difference. If they don't hijack the default browser settings, no one will even know it is installed. If they do hijack it and MSN is not the hompage, those people will switch back to IE anyways.
What bothers me, is that mozilla feels threatened. If Firefox i
If M$ did this there would be a huge uproar and several anti-trust lawsuits.
They did.
There were.
They lost.
They paid the fines (which they could afford) made some token concessions (Set Program Access and Defaults) but, guess what, Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player are still bundled with Windows, and the vast majority of users will never know anything else.
This is because bundling products is not the problem. The problem is that MS has a near-total monopoly on desktop operating systems and office productivity software. The various anti-trust actions have simply squirt
Shame on Slashdot for not seeing through this [slashdot.org]. What better thing could there be for Microsoft than a flame war between Mozilla and Apple?
Even Cnet [news.com] noted that this is not a mandatory install and that the brew ha ha is because:
... some point people became conditioned to downloading anything that shows up from an official source, like Microsoft, Apple, AOL, Yahoo, or whoever.
That and Microsoft can't stand competition from Apple any more than it will release new versions of IE and Office on OSX. Yes, we can expect Mozilla to not like this, but we can be sure they also hate the way IE is forced on Windows users too. It's too bad that perspective is lost in the Wintel press, isn't it?
There's more perspective missing from this story too. If you dig deeper, you find stories about how Jobs announced his intention to make Safari available on Windows though iTunes. This is exactly what has happened and it was done in a much nicer way than IE8 and Windows itself are forced onto users.
I don't like being critical of Slashdot and Slashdot editors because of all the great work done by the site. Most articles are better researched and though out than this one. Someone is asleep at the wheel this time and I hope this clears the issue up.
Users shouldn't second guess themselves when clicking "OK" on a software update dialog. If they're afraid of software update services, it'll be impossible for vendors to keep them safe with security and stability updates.
Exactly. Why do you think there are so many unpatched Windows installs? Because MS tries to push out "updates" not as patches but as entire different versions. Think of IE6 to IE7, to the person who is scared of the computer they have and doesn't know how to actually use a computer but just what the little icons mean, they might decide to never ever update their computer. Now when real patches come along that patch some security flaw, they refuse them thinking that it will change the look/feel of their
What better thing could there be for Microsoft than a flame war between Mozilla and Apple?
You are absolutely right. Apple is hardly forcing Safari on people since it asks first and they can decline the download. I decline downloads offered from Apple and MS all the time. This is a complete non-issue brought up by someone wanting free press.
The Mozilla folks are whining because there is some chance that a significant portion of Firefox users will switch to Safari. I have used Firefox since beta on Windows machines, but I will switch to Safari if it is faster. Firefox is dog-slow on a Mac, and I don't even consider it on that platform.
We need a way to classify software that does this. Call it installware for all I care.
We already have a classification that fits. Trojan.
If graphics hackers are so smart, why can't they get the bugs out of fresh paint?

Wollongong's unbeaten start to the NBL season came to a shuddering halt with tonight's surprise 65-51 road loss to the Sydney Kings.
The Hawks had won five from five heading into the all-NSW clash and were confident of edging closer to the club's all-time best start of 7-0 set by the 1987 side.
But they were brought crashing back to earth, enduring an uncharacteristically bad shooting night as they struggled to come to terms with their arch rivals' physical defence.
American guard Corin Henry starred for the Kings with 19 points, six rebounds and three steals, while Ian Crosswhite and Ben Madgen added 12 points each.
Rhys Martin (15) led Wollongong's scoring, but he was the only player on his team to make at least 50 per cent of his shot attempts.
The Hawks connected on a dismal 31 per cent of their field goals, including a horrible 7/26 return from three-point range.
They had 14 turnovers to compared to 10 for their opponents and were out-rebounded 42-32.
Wollongong import Adris Deleon's horror show summed up the Hawks' night.
The reigning NBL Player of the Week finished with nine points but made just two of his 13 shots.
Lance Hurdle was 3/10, while Oscar Forman and Larry Davidson were each 1/6.
Scores were tied late in the third quarter, but the Hawks strangely lost their way in crunch time and were overrun in the final period.
Things looked rosy for Wollongong in the early stages.
They forced the Kings into a turnover in the opening seconds and went straight down the other end and executed a perfect pick-and-roll for Forman to drain a baseline jump-shot.
Glen Saville, Martin and Hurdle knocked down threes, while Deleon's two free throws gave the visitors a 16-8 lead after five minutes.
The only black spot on Wollongong's impressive start was a worrying foul count.
Davidson, Hurdle and Deleon each picked up two fouls in the first quarter, though they were let off the hook by Sydney's poor free throw shooting (8/13).
With primary ball-carriers Martin, Deleon and Hurdle on the bench, the Kings did a good job of pressuring the Hawks into turnovers and poor shot selection, clawing their way back to tie the game at 19-all after one period.
Saville was the standout with seven points, two rebounds and two assists, while Madgen and Crosswhite had four points apiece for Sydney.
Henry came to life after a quiet opening quarter, scoring his team's first seven points of the second period.
Hurdle kept Wollongong in touch with a couple of long three-pointers before they re-took the lead on Davidson's turnaround jump-shot with four minutes left in the half.
But the Kings regained the momentum with consecutive baskets to forge ahead 32-29 in a dour first half.
After making 43 per cent of their shot attempts in the opening period, Wollongong could only manage 4/16 field goals in the second quarter.
Hurdle had nine points and Saville remained on seven, while pint-sized playmaker Henry was up to 10.
Deleon only had two points from the free throw line and missed his only two field goal atempts.
Sydney pushed the margin up to five but the Hawks fought back and knotted the score at 38-all with just over four minutes left in the third quarter.
Henry reignited and hit a long three and another long bomb gave the Kings a 44-38 lead they never relinquished.
Deleon missed on a couple of three-point shots before Henry's steal and uncontested layup made it 48-40 heading into the final period.
Henry was up to 17 points, while Wollongong were ice-cold with just 4/15 field goals in the third quarter.
Sydney increased the margin to 10 before Martin sparked a fightback to bring the Hawks within five with six minutes remaining.
The Kings improved their record to 4-4, while the league-leading Hawks are 5-1.
Wollongong will be aiming to bounce back in next Saturday's home game against Cairns.
Meanwhile, In another NBL match tonight, the Melbourne Tigers scored a commanding 96-66 victory over the Adelaide 36ers at Hisense Arena.

De Blob Revolution HD iPad Review
De Blob is no stranger to iDevices. While he first appeared on the Wii, we know him best for his two iPhone games, one of which is the addictive speed-based puzzle game De Blob Revolution. THQ's iPad refresh of the game improves on it by utilizing the larger screen to change up the game's flow.
De Blob Revolution HD has the same content as its iPhone counterpart. The goal is to draw a path for De Blob so he can free trapped blobs. You have three game modes: Normal, time attack, and INKT chase, with multiple unlockable difficulty levels for each. Sets of five puzzles are randomly plucked from a larger selection for each session. For an in-depth look at all of this, check out our review of the iPhone version.
What ever happened to Blobs A, B, and C?
However, what makes De Blob Revolution HD special is that it links all the levels in a set together, instead of going through them one at a time. This means that you have one timer to complete every level, and on INKT chase, the baddies will chase you through all five rooms until you get to the end. If you make a mistake in a room, you'll be sent back to the start of that particular room. This may sound like a minor change, but it does enough to freshen the game up.
One issue that still persists in the iPad version of the game is the slightly aggravating controls. We sometimes found that the game incorrectly inputs the path placement under our finger. However, considering you can always restart at a checkpoint for no penalty, this issue is slightly alleviated.
With Chop Sushi! HD and now De Blob Revolution HD, it seems THQ knows what makes an iPad game great. Even for slightly higher prices, there is no doubt in our mind that these HD versions are the best versions of their respective games.

One guy who'll benefit from the apparent emergence of receiver Dez Bryant is the guy who covers him every day in practice.
Earlier this week, cornerback Morris Claiborne told Pro Football Talk on NBCSN that he and Bryant have been matched up regularly during training camp. Claiborne characterizes their battles as a push.
"I think it's even," Claiborne told Erik Kuselias. "You know he gets me, I gets him, I don't think it's a fair blowout of either one of us getting each other, but we come out each and every day and try and make each other better, and I feel like me going up against Dez every day, I feel like he's one of the better receivers in this league and going up against him every day can't do nothing but make me better."
Claiborne acknowledged with a laugh that Dez would disagree.
"He probably would, but knowing him he would probably give himself an edge," Claiborne said.
The practice competition could help both guys get the edge when they go up against their opponents in 2013, which is very good news for the Cowboys.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Branduinn Fullove scored 22 points and grabbed seven rebounds as UC Santa Barbara defeated San Francisco 69-49 in a nonconference game Saturday night.
Fullove, who made 10-of-11 free throws, gave the Gauchos (2-0) a commanding 64-47 lead by hitting a 3-pointer with 3:50 remaining.
UC Santa Barbara, which outrebounded San Francisco 43-28, opened the second half on an 11-6 run that extended their advantage to 47-33.
The Gauchos zone defense created problems for San Francisco (1-2), which shot a dismal 26 percent from the floor and made only 5-of-25 from 3-point range.
Shamell Stallworth and John Cox each had 11 points for the Dons.
The Gauchos built a 15-8 lead after Mark Hull, who finished with 15 points, raced down court for an uncontested dunk with 13:42 in the first half.
But San Francisco outscored UC Santa Barbara 18-6 in the next seven minutes to take a 26-21 advantage. Stallworth hit two 3-pointers during the Dons run.
UC Santa Barbara scored the next 15 points, six coming on back-to-back 3-pointers by Nick Jones, to close the half with a 36-27 lead.
Jacoby Atako had 11 points and Jones added 10 for UC Santa Barbara, which shot 44 percent.

Saloua Raouda Choucair
With the Lebanese artist 97 years old and in the grip of Alzheimer's disease, it might seem too late to celebrate the life and work of Saloua Raouda Choucair. However, Choucair has never let recognition, or the lack thereof, define her. Still based in her birthplace of Beirut, she's barely exhibited beyond the borders of Lebanon and only started selling her work in her fifties.
Through this retrospective, which carefully places this abstract artist back into the trajectory of modern art, we're able to trace her steps from east to west: from Lebanon, through Cairo, to Paris – where she studied under cubist master Fernand Léger – before finally returning to Lebanon, where she witnessed the civil war.
Mathematical in their allocation of space, her paintings are geometric studies of abstract shapes. Planes of colour divide each page while groups of nudes, composed of fleshy patchworks, drink tea together. Choucair's sculptures take their inspiration as much from engineering as anything else, with her intricate designs in stone and wood looming like tower blocks, walking the tightrope between art and architecture. Others are futuristic, with bodies of thread forming bulbous spidery cocoons and shimmering nylon stretching to the ceiling. Several pieces entwine with one another, locked in a passionate embrace, echoing the form of Sufi poetry where verses can stand both collectively and alone.
The Tate's gamble to exhibit a little-known artist has paid off. Choucair's pairing of Western modernism and Islamic design results in a fascinating collection fused with cultural collaboration.

The Tesoro Corporation refinery is at the western end of a railway transport system that will include 800 tank cars carrying 40,000 barrels of crude oil each day from Tesoro's Bakken Shale operations in North Dakota. The concrete ties will support a high-capacity rail unloading system capable of accommodating four 110-car trains simultaneously.
"L.B. Foster has a long-standing and successful relationship with the Tesoro project's contractor, RailWorks. The Chehalis, Washington track construction company has installed CXT ties on many high profile transit, mainline and industrial systems to minimize life cycle expenses and assure high performance," said Mark Hammons, L.B. Foster national sales manager for CXT Concrete Ties.
The industrial ties are being manufactured at L.B. Foster's Spokane, Wash., facility. CXT Concrete Ties began shipping to the jobsite from the Washington State tie plant by truck in May 2012. The final delivery is scheduled to be completed before the end of 2012.

Dear Editor:
There is a monument at Journal Square which has deteriorated and each day hundreds of people walk by it and do not even see it. It has become a seat for the homeless and a congregation point for those who just purchased booze in a nearby store. The monument has deep cracks, chipped concrete and several layers of old white paint falling off. This monument is in memory of all those who made the supreme sacrifice in all wars of our country.
The Memorial Triangle Monument is sponsored by the Sgt. Oliver Hobart Post No.1 Legion of Guardsman and Ladies Auxiliary. West End Post No.6590 Veterans of Foreign Wars and Ladies Auxiliary. The monument is on the same side of the street as the White Castle and across Newark Avenue, just outside the stores in that small group of shops. About ten or twelve years; more or less this monument was moved from the old triangle in the on directly on the opposite side of the boulevard. Can something be done to restore this monument? It is in memory of all those who have made the supreme sacrifice. Can we also make that sacrifice to have it properly restored. How is restoration achieved?? I would love to see it restored by Memorial Day. That would be a fitting gesture to honor once again those who made the supreme sacrifice.

SPENCER - The Iowa Area Development Group, on behalf of Iowa's rural electric cooperatives and member municipal electric systems, has honored nine distinguished Iowa companies with the Iowa Venture Award.
The Iowa Venture Award business recognition program began in 1988 and over the past 25 years has honored over 200 of Iowa's most accomplished business leaders and companies.
"The Iowa Venture Awards luncheon provides a forum to celebrate the courage, contribution, innovation responsibility and vision of Iowa entrepreneurs," said IADG president Rand Fisher. "IADG, on behalf of our sponsors, is proud to recognize these nine outstanding companies for their contribution to their community, region and state."
DuPont Pioneer received a Venture A ward for the new distribution center in the Green Industrial Center in Spencer.
"We are very proud that Pioneer selected Spencer for their regional distribution center and congratulate them for the Iowa Venture Award," said Kathy Evert, president and CEO of the Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation. "Pioneer is a great Iowa company that continues to grow, invest and create good jobs and worthy of this recognition."
The 2012 "Outstanding Business of the Year" Venture Award was presented to Sedgwick, Inc.
An Iowa Venture Award was presented to Iowa Community Development, for "Distinguished Leadership." ICD is an organization that was created to enable rural Iowa communities to apply and compete for federal tax credits from the US Department of Treasury. Since ICD's first year in 2006, they have successfully secured four awards totaling $200 million in tax credits that have funded 17 major development and redevelopment projects. This very special award is only occasionally presented to organizations that have partnered with IADG and its sponsors, to make significant accomplishments and contributions of a lasting and beneficial nature for all of Iowa.
Six additional businesses recognized with an Iowa Venture Award for their significant contributions in diversifying and strengthening Iowa's economy. These 2012 Iowa Venture Award Recipients include: Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., Hampton; Dow AgroSciences, Nevada; Kehl Management, Inc., Larchwood and Riverside; Murphy-Brown, Algona; Premier Sheep Supplies, Washington; and "The Ridge" Char-Mac Senior-Living, Holstein.

IADG is the business and community development leader for Iowa's rural electric cooperatives and member municipal electric utilities. Since 1985, the Powerful Partnerships and economic development efforts of IADG and their sponsors have helped to generate over $6 billion of capital investment and created or retained nearly 40,000 jobs for Iowa. The 2012 Iowa Venture Awards luncheon ceremony was held in conjunction with the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives' annual meeting in West Des Moines.

Bright and early on the morning of Sunday, July 17th, 25 eager youth from Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA) all over Northern California showed up at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to march with GSA Network's team in the 25th Annual AIDS Walk San Francisco. Decked out in their GSA gear, the youth bravely carried their banners, and walked for a great cause.
"It was really heartening to see so many youth not only participating in AIDS Walk, but also actively fundraising and engaging in HIV/AIDS awareness. I think for some youth, HIV/AIDS does not seem like a real and present issue for their generation," said Amanda Harris, GSA Network's Northern California Program Coordinator and AIDS Walk team leader. "Seeing young people come forward to be a part of the walk, however, proves that young leaders in GSAs know how important these discussions are and that HIV/AIDS activism should always be at the forefront of Queer movements."
GSA Network was excited to welcome newcomers, current participants and alumni to walk with the team. Ameya Futnani, a freshman at The College Preparatory School in Oakland, was excited to walk with GSA Network. "I did the AIDS Walk last year, but I didn't have this many people marching with me, or raise this much money," she said. "It feels great!" Together, GSAs raised over $2,000 for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation!
While warming up, several Northern California GSAs discussed what the walk meant to them. "For me, the AIDS Walk represents standing up and making a difference," reflected Tina Meeks, a team member from El Cerrito High School GSA. Tina participated in the AIDS Walk before and said she couldn't wait to come back. Irene Rojas-Carroll, GSA Network Youth Council member and organizer of the El Cerrito High School's team, said, "It felt great to be a part of the AIDS Walk this year. It was, hands down, our GSA's most successful event and we felt especially proud of our accomplishment."
We are very proud of our courageous youth who stepped up for change and walked in solidarity with our activist allies at AIDS Walk San Francisco to fight for a cure to HIV/AIDS.

Houston's top picks for Tex-Mex and Mexican
Houston loves its Tex-Mex. They flock to places where the chips and salsa are unlimited, the margaritas are strong and the tortillas arrive warm. Increasingly, they're also embracing restaurants that serve more traditional Mexican fare. And, yes, the cuisines are distinct. Here are some recommended restaurants for both categories.
