Concrete plays a large part in this type of construction. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used to the complete satisfaction of the architect, builders and owners. URING the last decade there has probably been no more important development in concrete construc- tion than the use of Calcium Chloride for attaining a rapid set and early strength. The purpose of this booklet is to present the results ob- tained by The Solvay Process Company through experi- ments and practical experience, indicating the value of Calcium Chloride as an essential product in modern con- crete construction. Within the past few years there has been a constantly increasing demand on the part of architects, engineers and contractors for a material or process which would accelerate the hardening of concrete; which would give it early strength, and at the same time not affect the final setting of the concrete — the most desirable accelerator being the one which would hasten the hardening, and still not adversely affect the final setting. f 5] w <?- V? THE USE OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE WITH PORTLAND CEMENT Exhaustive tests have thoroughly proven that the ma- terial which best meets these necessary and important re- quirements is Solvay Calcium Chloride. It not only gives early strength and hardness to concrete, but at the same time densities, makes it more water-proof and aids the concrete to resist freezing at winter tempera- tures. Solvay Calcium Chloride is a white, dry, flaky chemical, extremely hygroscopic and dissolves almost instantly in water. VALUABLE RESULTS THOROUGHLY PROVEN That the use of Calcium Chloride with Portland Cement is beneficial has been thoroughly established as a result of the extensive tests made by the United States Bureau of Standards, American Society for Testing Materials, Port- land Cement Association, United States Engineers, Lewis Institute and The Solvay Process Company. The first important investigation in this connection was conducted some years ago by the Bureau of Standards co- operating with the United States Engineers' office, Mem- phis, Tennessee. Tests were made with many different materials. Of these, only Calcium Chloride showed any beneficial results. In the Standard Mortar Test, made with 3 :i Ottawa Sand, it was found that the addition of 2 per cent, to 4 per cent. Commercial Calcium Chloride (by weight of the mix- ing water) increased the tensile strength from 155 per cent, to 230 per cent, by the end of 24 hours, and from 173 per cent, to 190 per cent, at the end of 48 hours, without affect- ing adversely the initial set of the mixture. [6] During the past two years a subcommittee of Committee C-9 of the American Society for Testing Materials has con- ducted a cooperative series of tests on accelerators of the Calcium Chloride type. These tests, without exception, show a marked increase in early strength of cement mortar which contains 2 per cent, to 3 per cent. Calcium Chloride. Thousands of tests have been made by many different organizations, and while there are some variations in re- sults, due to different brands of cement, kinds of aggregate, and other variable factors, a summary of the tests shows that 1 per cent, to 4 per cent, of 74 per cent. Calcium Chloride added to 100 pounds of cement accelerates the hardening of the concrete to a marked extent. The American Furniture Mart at Chicago, Illinois. Henry Raeder, Architect, Geo. C. Nimmons &? Company, and N. Max Dunning, Associates, Wells Brothers Construction Company, Builders. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used in the concrete. [ 7] i P. &■ A ■ Pkotn The world-famous building of the Chicago Tribune at Chicago, Illinois, Howells and Hood, Architects. R. C. Wiedbolt Company, contractors for the caissons and founda- tion work, successfully used Solvay Calcium Chloride m all the cement work. Professor Duff A. Abrams, in charge of the Structural Materials Research Laboratory of the Lewis Institute, Chi- cago, Illinois, recently completed a study of the use of Cal- cium Chloride m concrete. After testing 7500 compression specimens it was determined that Calcium Chloride pro- duced an increase in concrete strength as shown by the following table: COMPARATIVE STRENGTH RATIOS Concrete Untreated Treated with 2 to 4% Calcium Chloride . . . 2 days 100 7 days 100 28 days 100 s mo. IOO 170 1*5 no I 12 i yr IOO 3 yrs 100 117 11 Under average conditions, concrete that has been treated with the proper quantity of Calcium Chloride will attain at the end of 48 hours the strength equal to that of un- treated concrete after 7 days. Referring again to the results of Professor Abrams' study, it is to be noted that it was his conclusion that: "In the use of Calcium Chloride no advantage was gained for percentages of the commercial product greater than 2 or 3 per cent., corresponding to a chlorine content of 1 to i}4 per cent. The amount when used m mixes of about 1:5 and in consistencies suitable for building construction, showed an increase in strength of from 100 to 200 pounds per square inch. For richer mixes and drier consistencies the strength in- crease was greater and for leaner mixes and wetter concretes it was less. 1 '' It was also determined that the effect of Calcium Chloride in cement mortar was essentially the same as in concrete. Not only is Calcium Chloride of value therefore, in the actual concrete work, but it is classed by this conclusion as invaluable to practically all construction work. [9] \ The Studio Building. Boston, Massachusetts. W. A. and H. A. Root, Builders. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used aa accelerator and also as jn jid in prevention of ireezing in concrete pi j around steel pillars during winter months. In view of the results of tests and investigations under actual working conditions, it has been definitely established that: The quality of the concrete is improved — the strength is increased with Solvay Calcium Chloride. With the increasing demonstrations of its value, in con- nection with concrete work, Calcium Chloride is being specified by many of America's leading architects and en- gineers. In fact, a number of the most prominent buildings recently constructed were completed more quickly through the use of Solvay Calcium Chloride, with resultant savings to the owners, and credit to the architects, engineers and contractors. i iu ] , . I J SOLVAY CALCIUM CHLORIDE ACCELERATES, STRENGTHENS, AIDS CONCRETE TO RESIST FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND RENDERS IT MORE WATER-PROOF Solvay Calcium Chloride, as a part of the gauging water, thoroughly permeates the concrete and acts uniformly throughout the entire mass. In contrast to many integral materials, which do not dissolve readily in the gauging water, Solvay is extremely soluble, dissolving almost in- stantly, resulting in a uniformly finished structure. This property makes it almost impossible for inexperi- enced workmen to jeopardise the success of the work. To produce satisfactory results it is only necessary to add i to 4 pounds of the Calcium Chloride to the gauging water for each baa of cement. ACCELERATES Tests made by the Bureau of Standards and The Solvay Process Company prove that Portland Cement, gauged by a solution of Solvay Calcium Chloride, attains greater strength in 48 hours than a corresponding mixture with plain water in 7 days. With Solvay, finishing is possible within a short time after pouring the concrete. Concrete placed at 8 o'clock can be finished by n o'clock. No overtime is required for fin- ishing concrete placed late in the afternoon — thus effecting considerable saving of money for the contractor. Further- more, Solvay-treated concrete sets at the bottom as fast as at the top, thereby producing a homogeneous mass. The early strength given to freshly poured concrete pre- vents the collapse of cell structure during the drying out period. It increases the crushing, tensile and abrasive strength. [ 11 1 The Dental Building, Boston, Massachusetts. Architects. McFarLnd and Laurie, Boston. The front of the building is constructed of cast stone manufactured by the Cambridge Cement Stone Co. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used to make the cast 6tone. I I The final set and strength of the concrete are in no way adversely affected by the use of Calcium Chloride. In fact, tests indicate the final strength is increased by its use. HARDENS AND DENSIFIES The use of Solvay Calcium Chloride increases the ce- menting qualities as well as tensile and compression strength of concrete. Through chemical action concrete is densified and hardened at the same time, which increases its resist' ance to dusting. Concrete or cement mortar gauged with Solvay Calcium Chloride will absorb considerably less water than when gauged with plain water. Owing to decreased porosity, the Solvay-treated concrete is more resistant to wear and also to acids and alkalies. These qualities are highly desirable m the construction of sidewalks and the floors of buildings, particularly fac- tories, garages, etc. The use of Solvay Calcium Chloride materially cuts down the usual period of delay experienced before placing the work in service and decreases mam- tenance expense by prolonging the life of floor surfaces. Solvay Calcium Chloride, because it is used integrally, hardens the entire mass and not just the surface. COLD WEATHER USE It is generally recognized that the use of Calcium Chloride in very cold weather is an absolute necessity inasmuch as it is impossible to maintain satisfactory working conditions under the ordinary or "natural 11 method of making concrete. It is not intended to imply that Calcium Chloride is a "cure-all 11 for perfect concrete construction under positive freezing conditions. The fact has been conclusively proven, however, that Solvay will lower the freezing point of water, [ 13 1 I and therefore of the mix, so that work can proceed into the cold months of the year and permit concrete to set at low temperatures. As Solvay hardens the concrete in about half the usual time, the chance of damage from freezing is naturally cut in half. The following table gives the recommended proportions of Solvay to use for different atmospheric temperatures: Expected Atmospheric Temperatures + 28 F. +20 F. + 15 F. Proportion of Solvay to Water 2 pounds of Solvay to 6 gallons of water 3 pounds of Solvay to 6 gallons of water 4 pounds of Solvay to 6 gallons of water The above table is based on using approximately 6 gal- lons of water to each bag of cement. However, the precautions usually taken to protect con- crete must be observed. The aggregate and water should be heated and the concrete covered or otherwise protected. Thin walls and also concrete subjected to high wind need greater protection than mass construction. The Portland Cement Association has published a bul- letin, "Precautions for Concrete Pavement Construction in Cold Weather/' The following is taken from this bulletin: "The only chemical recommended as an addition to the mixing water is Calcium Chloride. This material possesses the property of lowering the freezing point of water and accelerating the setting of the concrete. It is used by being dissolved in the mixing water. It is generally sold in crys- talline form and is readily soluble in water." In a very recent bulletin of the Portland Cement Asso- ciation it is stated that: I HI I I The Commonwealth-Atlantic National Bank Building, Boston, Massachusetts. Geo. W. Harvey Co., Builders. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used as an accelerator and as an aid in preventing the freezing of concrete in the mam floor slabs, top finish and in forms around the steel upright pillars. "In general the best results in concrete work carried out in extremely low temperatures will be secured by: (i) Heating the mixing water and aggregate; aggregate can best be heated by placing steam coils in the bins. (2) Protecting the work from wind and snow with canvas or temporary timber structures and heating interior by means of steam pipes or salamanders. (3) Using Calcium Chloride to lower the freezing point of the mixing water, and to increase the early strength of the concrete." [ 15 1 It is interesting to note in reference to the use of Cal- cium Chloride in reinforced concrete that it has been demon- strated that rusting is not progressive on steel completely embedded in calcium-treated concrete. Technical News Bulletin No. 75 issued by the Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, Washington, in commenting on "The Effect of Accelerators on Reinforcing Steer"' states as follows: "A number of 1:2:4 concrete and 1:3 mortar specimens in which steel rods have been embedded were broken dur- ing the past month, and an examination made of the rods. Calcium Chloride solutions had been used for some of the specimens as the gauging liquid. An examination was also made of expanded metal which had been embedded in small slabs prepared from mortar gauged with a proprietary compound of the accelerator type. Some of the foregoing specimens were five and others six years old and all had been stored out of doors and exposed to the weather. From this examination it is concluded that while Calcium Chloride tends to corrode the reinforce- ment, the corrosion does not seem serious or of a progressive nature with age, in cases where the reinforcement is com- pletely embedded in the concrete. However, when using accelerators, care should be taken to completely coat and embed the reinforcement and avoid pockets near it." WATERPROOFING QUALITIES The integral method of water-proofing concrete has been found to be the best, and is highly favored by engineers and contractors. The action of Solvay Calcium Chloride in accelerating early hardening gives strength to the concrete, preventing the collapse of the cell structure during the evaporation of the water. Porosity is thus reduced to a mini- mum and the concrete rendered dense and more water-proof. I »oi Solvay has a lubricating action on the cement, due, it is believed, to increasing the solubility of the silicates present. This causes the concrete or cement mortar to become more plastic and workable. Workmen like this "fatty 1 ' mix be- cause it means quicker work and easier troweling conditions. As a result the particles are cemented together, producing a smooth surface which is much more water-proof than one obtained with untreated concrete. Boston Chamber of Commerce Building, Boston, Massachusetts. \V. M. Evatt Company, Builders. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used in the main floor slabs set during winter months. [ 17 ] DIRECTIONS FOR USING SOLVAY The directions for using Solvay Calcium Chloride are so simple that it is possible to have the work done through' out by ordinary labor. It is important to remember that for best results not less than i pound nor more than 4 pounds of Calcium Chloride should be used to each bag of cement, except for free^e-resisting use, when up to 6 pounds can be used if necessary. To make up a standard solution of Solvay Calcium Chloride, fill a barrel, or other suitable container, in the proportion of two pails of water for each pail of Solvay, stirring until the Calcium Chloride is completely dissolved. The mixture will contain the following quantity of Calcium Chloride: 1 gallon 3.2 pounds of Calcium Chloride 1 quarts 2.4 pounds of Calcium Chloride 2 quarts 1.6 pounds of Calcium Chloride 1 quart 0.8 pound of Calcium Chloride Then mix the batch of concrete or cement mortar just as you have been in the habit of doing, except that for each bag of cement used add about 3 quarts of standard Solvay Calcium Chloride solution together with the necessary water. This quantity can be increased or decreased as needs require. Experience will doubtless suggest other methods for using Solvay, but the above is simple in practice and efficient in operation. CEMENT USED AFFECT RESULTS? Solvay Calcium Chloride may be used with any brand of Portland Cement, although the results obtained by the use of Calcium Chloride with different brands will vary to a slight extent. [ 18 l The new addition to the Boston Storage Warehouse, Boston, Massachusetts. W. M. Evatt Co., Builders. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used in the walls, floors, etc.. during the winter months. With most brands of Portland Cement the proper amount for general purposes is i pounds of Solvay Calcium Chloride to each bag of cement. Should this proportion not give the desired results, the amount may be slightly diminished or increased to suit requirements. In his most recent work Professor Abrams pointed out that the various brands used in his tests were in general similarly affected by the addition of Calcium Chloride. ( 19 1 The Meyer: rd Building, Chicago, Illinois. Mr. F. T. Bear, Contractor. Solvay Calcium Chloride used in the walls and floors. AMOUNT TO BE USED AND COST It has usually proven most satisfactory to use the quan- tity of cement going into each batch as a basis to determine the necessary amount of Calcium Chloride. Increasing the quantity of Calcium Chloride accelerates the initial harden- ing. Solvay Calcium Chloride east of the Mississippi costs approximately two cents per pound. In the Far West the cost will be slightly higher. The cost of using Solvay is small considering the time and labor saved and the better concrete produced. The quantity required for a given job can generally be estimated by figuring 2 pounds of Calcium Chloride to each bag of cement. The amount actually required on the job will depend on prevailing conditions, such as temperature, location, kind of mix, etc. [ 20] I SHIPMENT Solvay Calcium Chloride is shipped m non-returnable metal drums for which no additional charge is made. These standard drums contain 375 pounds net each. Solvay is also shipped in moisture-proof, paper-lined, burlap bags, containing 100 pounds net each. Calcium Chloride in bags requires the same weather protection as cement. The ease of handling the bags makes this container very attractive to many customers. The Solvay Process Company carries stock of Solvay Calcium Chloride in more than 75 cities in the United States, which insures prompt service with minimum trans- portation charges. In carload shipments direct from the plant the Traffic Department of the Company is especially equipped and prepared to facilitate delivery safely and economically. The Park Square Building, Boston, Massachusetts. Densmore, LeClear and Robbins, Architects, W. A. and H. A. Root, Builders. Solvay Calcium Chloride was used in cement mortar and in cement finish of all floors. $6,000 was actually saved in labor in placing floor finish through the use of Solvay Calcium Chloride. [ 21 ] . TECHNICAL SERVICE It is quite natural that in specific instances problems will arise relative to the use of Solvay Calcium Chloride, and while it has been the intent to give full particulars in this booklet, unusual conditions call for special treatment. With this in mind The Solvay Process Company desires that architects, engineers and contractors avail themselves of the facilities of its Technical Service Department.

The International Organization for Standardization maintains a series of standards for ensuring quality. The ISO 9001 standard requires that a compliant company has a set of procedures, monitoring processes, documentation, defect checking and regular reviews to facilitate continuous improvement. To become certified, a company is audited by an independent body to demonstrate that it has established these formal business processes and procedures. You must also conduct internal audits yourself to ensure the system is working. An audit reveals the descriptions, written references and usage validation as well as whether the procedure is actually helping to improve quality.
Quality Management Systems Procedure Development
Quality is a subjective term that typically means a product or service meets customer expectations. The ISO 9000 family of standards is based on eight quality management principles: customer focus, leadership, people involvement, process approach, system approach, continuous improvement, decision making and good supplier relationships. Define procedures to help you understand your current and future customer requirements. Align activities to a clearly articulated vision and strategic goal. Involve employees and make them responsible for their actions. Define procedures that use resources effectively and imaginatively. Integrate procedures to ensure consistency and adherence. Plan to adjust procedures regularly to maintain a level of continuous improvement. Analyze data produced by procedures to make effective decisions. Minimize costs associated with procedures.
Benefits associated with ensuring quality as defined by the ISO quality standards include increased revenue and lower operational costs due to increased productivity. By incorporating and widely communicating quality procedures into your operations, you contribute to a consistent strategy and vision for all levels of your company. Encouraging creativity in response to problems found through the quality management process motivates innovative approaches.
By adopting ISO 9001, you establish performance. With ISO 9004, you make your business more efficient by integrating quality processes with other management systems. By measuring customer satisfaction and responding to needs, you establish loyalty and encourage repeat purchases. Maintaining quality standards is also important to meet statutory and regulatory requirements.
For example, by implementing quality procedures related to handling repeated customer support product issues on both a proactive and reactive basis, you establish consistent, repeatable customer dialogues. This captured knowledge contributes to increased customer satisfaction and reduced operational expenses associated with troubleshooting complex customer problems.

Something Real and Good.A fateful meeting at an airport leads to profound revelation about the true nature of loneliness for a man and woman who start out as strangers, but form an intimate connection over the course of one life-altering night. It all started with a friendly conversation at the airport. Later, when the pair finds themselves on the same flight, it seemed like a coincidence. By the time the flight is diverted and they meet once again in a hotel, a friendship has blossomed. Now with each passing hour, the relationship deepens, leading to a powerful, unexpected connection bond between two kindred spirits. ~ Jason Buchanan, RoviA young man and woman meet by chance in an airport while waiting for a delayed flight.

This will once again be an emotional and touchy subject to discuss. There are some white women who have a preference for black men. There are some black women who are literally offended by the notion that a white woman is moving in on "her man." We'll discuss it.
Do white women feel as if they're in competition with black women?
What is the reaction from black people in their lives when these white ladies "cross over?"

"You can if you can get it to go through the item you are using. Some things are hard for the drill sothat is why the electric one is better. I love making my own things to because you can make them as unique as you want them and no one else will have the same thing. I see so many wonderful things in thrift stores, yard sales or flea markets that I like but do know what to do with and now I do and you are right it is so cost effective and cute."
"This is another super way to plant your succulents with something fun and not just a plain boring pot. I love these cute concrete designs and the faces on them. I never realized that it was so easy to make one of these by using empty soda bottles and the concrete. these would look so cute indoors or out on the patio. How about painting them in glow in the dark paint in different colors for your deck. Wouldn't that look neat. Great tutorial and a video with another kind of planter using a water bottle."
"There at no limits to what you can recycle today and I am so happy to see new things pop up. The hamster wheel wreath is such a cool idea and a great way to plant succulents a different way then just sticking them in pots. I do not see these metal wheels that much any more most are plastic now but if I come across one I will pick it up and try this. I do not have luck with growing these succulents they always die so I am looking to find new ways to try. Anyone looking for something new here is a good one."
"I tried growing strawberries years ago for about 3 season and everyone had success but me so I gave up. I really want to try again and was looking for a good way to plant them and I came across this tutorial. I am going to give this a try because I love fresh strawberries. I love when someone who has tried it and made mistakes lets you know what happened and then tells what worked for them the next time so we do not make that mistake too. Now all I have to do is find my pots or find some and get to work. Can you do beans and cucumbers like that too? Anyone know?"
"I like to recycle and this is a great way to recycle paper towel or even toilet paper rolls instead of throwing them away. I wonder just like jobers77 asked if the brown paper will degrade ? How about the paper towel and toilet paper rolls? This is a great way to start those seeds and keep them warm while they are growing. Add some extras for your friends and family too. I think I am going to give this a try if I can find somewhere to put them. So simple and easy."
Makeover a Lamp

Learn how to cover a lamp shade with fabric by following this easy tutorial from Jamielyn Nye. Makeover a Lamp and put it on display in your home to impress all of your guests. You'll love creating something unique and true to your home decor style.
- lamp shade and stand
- spray paint
- fabric
- lace, beads, fringe for decorating
First you'll want to head to your closest thrift store and pick up a lampshade and stand. I found this lamp at goodwill on dollar day Thursdays and new some spray paint would clean it right up. Lime green it was!
I also found this lamp shade at goodwill for $1 as well. So it cost me about $2 bucks…not bad!
First you'll want to cut out a piece of fabric that is about twice the length of your lamp shade. Then you'll start at the lamp shades seam and trace the lamp shade (top and bottom) while rolling it, until you get back to the lamp shades seam. whew! Does that make sense?
It should end up looking something like this. You'll want to cut it out leaving about a one inch border all the way around. Mine is definitely far from perfect, but it works. At this point you'll want to iron your fabric if you haven't already. If I was smart I would have done it before. lol
I didn't take very many pictures during the next few steps, because let's be honest trying to take a picture while hot gluing is never easy! I already end up with enough glue burns as it is! lol.
Basically you'll want to start at the seam of the lamp shade and begin hot gluing your fabric. It's best to take it a few inches at a time. You'll want to make sure to smooth out the fabric as you go as well. When the fabric has covered the entire lamp shade you will tuck the fabric around the top and bottom edge. Then make sure to trim any excess fabric.
Next you'll want to decorate the top and bottom edges with trim, lace, beads, fringe, etc to give it a finished look. I made a ruffle by taking a 1 in strip of fabric and sewing it with my longest stitch and tension. It curled right up as I sewed it.
Then I glued down the ruffle around the base of the lampshade. Then I added a flower and it was complete! It's far from perfect, but for my first lamp shade makeover I think it turned out pretty cute.

Awesome idea!!! Can't wait to try this tomorrow!

Question.... where on the lamp shade are you hot gluing the fabric?
Jan 03, 2012
Hi, LotsOCatsLady. I would probably suggest gluing along the top edge, along the bottom edge, and along the seam at the back. However, if you wish to confirm, I recommend contacting the designer directly (specified in the byline). Good luck!

More FAILE Temple coverage

Yes yes, I know we've already covered this twice, but a) it's just so freaking amazing and b) this is the most in-depth coverage we have seen, and pretty much sums up the scale of what Faile has achieved.
Lisbon-based artist/street-art blogger Target was lucky enough to document the building process – check out the fantastic photos and video coverage at http://www.stick2target.com/faile-temple
That's our last word on the subject. Maybe. Unless we decide to hop on a plane and check it out ourselves.

Great spot (after ditching the skis) for a good pint of Estrella and some snacks. Buzzy atmosphere and warm friendly staff.
Went in for a quick snack one night and had a nice burger. The local lager was awful and that was basically enough for us not to return.
After skiing we went to this pub situated immediately at the entrance/exit of the ski ressort.
My friend ordered an Irish coffee but he received a glass with ice and a coffee. We tried to get someones attention but we were completed ignored.

We remind you that every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday you can also enjoy live music.
We hope to see you again soon.
Nice place to unwind after a day on the slopes. Can't say anything about the food except that it looked good as it was being on the neighbouring table.
Staff were a little slow in serving at the bar. But the double gin and tonic with beefeater gin that was €7 was with waiting for.
Dear Customer
Thank you very much for your comment and for sharing with us all your experience in our pub at the foot of the slopes.
We take note of your comment regarding the slowness of our staff, we will try to improve for your next visit.
Yours sincerely,
Music every night with a live band. Shows sport on t.v. at other times. friendly local pub with a great atmosphere and buzz about it.
Good choice of menu but be aware that they do not start serving lunch until 1pm - annoying if you want to get back on the slopes. We had to go elsewhere.
We had a few drinks here on a few occasions and enjoyed it... right next to the Gondola and ok prices..... service was sketchy even when it wasn't too busy. People didn't seem to notice you wanted more drinks and you couldn't order at the bar so you had to make a show to get any attention .......
We ordered...
We have stayed in Soldeu many times and always pop into the Villager at some point. This time we had some tapas rather than just our usual drinks.

Stopped here on our way through, very friendly staff, and the food was great. The prices are a little high for lunch So we got sandwiches.
I love a really good fat steak, salad and potatoes. They are very good at Loves. My husband gets the Fried Fish. Our work crew eats there about 5 times a week. Good food. Nice people. Great workers.
Nothing was good. The chicken fried bacon was flavorless, the brisket tasted reheated, the pulled pork was mediocre, the German sausage was okay, the fried okra tasted like it was frozen or canned before frying and the steamed vegetables tasted frozen. The bill $40.
The service was sweet and friendly. Preceed with care.
My favorite place to eat in the area. Great ribeye steaks. There are a lot of sides and the kids love the deep fried bacon. It is awesome. They also make their own sausage. Great stuff.
I was on a business trip to Texas. This place was recommended to me by the customer. Judging by the outside only, I would not have stopped at this place. But I am glad I did. Its obviously a home grown family owned restaurant. And they know their southern cooking!. I have been their twice now and so far I...
If you are hungry for some great BBQ, this is your place. Conveniently located on Hwy 287, this is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner. Be sure and try the cobbler...it is excellent!
You can not find a better tasting rib eye in southern Oklahoma or north Texas than one cooked to perfection at Loves.
Sorry gang but I just cannot give it 5 stars like so many others and stay consistent with my scoring of reviews. Loves Texas Style BBQ is definately the best option for many miles around and it is definatly good home cooking instead of being reheated food like many of the chains.
There were really two factors that resulted in...
I've eaten the BBQ here before and it was good -- but a bit on the fatty-side. However, this last time I ordered the trout and catfish and was enthralled! Truly, this was one of the best tasting fish plates I've had in a LONG time -- not greasy, muddy, overly breaded, etc. Just delicious.
Just wish the tables were...
Stopped for lunch on our way through town. We had the smoked brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Both were very good. We will definitely eat here again.

At least a score of high Bush Administration officials authorized, and hundreds of U.S. military and other government employees committed, crimes involving the torture of prisoners captured in the Middle East, published reports and legal documents indicate.
Indeed, any impartial probe of the widespread abuse of prisoners in U.S. custody could go well beyond the handful of prison guards who have been arrested and tried to date. The list would include top White House officials who designed the torture policies and Pentagon flag officers who executed them. It would include CIA officials and their contract pilots and immigration personnel involved in abducting suspects to be tortured as well as foreign officials who turned suspects over to U.S. authorities for torture. It would include doctors, nurses, and paramedics who abetted interrogators in torture and the civilian contractors of the Department of Defense(DOD) who tortured inmates.
In his May 8, 2004, radio broadcast, President Bush deplored "shocking conduct in Iraqi prisons by a small number of American servicemen and women." But he added, "We will learn the facts, the extent of the abuse, and the identities of those involved. They will answer for their actions." As that's the case, let's begin, starting at the top.
President Bush himself bears primary responsibility for torture for his arbitrary February 8, 2002, suspension of the Geneva Conventions that protect prisoners. This action set the tone for the prison scandals that shocked the conscience of the world with the publication in 2004 of the bizarre prisoner abuse photographs from Abu Ghraib near Baghdad .
As for Vice President Dick Cheney, he's been described by retired Army Colonel Larry Wilkerson, Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff, as the man who provided "the philosophical guidance that led to the torture of detainees." Wilkerson, who quit the State Department in January, 2005, said he didn't fault Cheney for wishing to keep America safe "but he'll corrupt the whole country to save it."
DOD Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and his former Defense Undersecretary Paul Wolfowitz, both authorized torture practices. When Bush nominated Wolfowitz as World Bank boss, Legislative Counsel Christopher Anders of the American Civil Liberties Union lamented, "As privates and sergeants are getting jail time, top level officials are getting promoted." Human Rights First(HRF) has charged Rumsfeld with direct responsibility for torture. And the Center for Constitutional Rights(CCR) named Rumsfeld one of 10 defendants in a criminal complaint filed in Karlsruhe , Germany , for brutal acts of torture at Abu Ghraib.
CCR Vice President Peter Weiss said CCR filed its complaint in Germany "because there is simply no other place to go" as USA refuses to join the International Criminal Court, and Iraq has no authority to prosecute. Under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction suspected war criminals may be prosecuted anywhere.
Apparently, Rumsfeld did not put the military on the torture track without internal opposition. Then U.S. Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora, now retired, put up a diligent fight, according author Jane Mayer of The New Yorker. On December 2, 2002, Rumsfeld formally okayed coercive punishments such as "hooding," "stress positions," "exploitation of phobias," "deprivation of light and auditory stimuli" and other tactics long forbidden by the Army Field Manual, Mayer wrote.
One torture victim was Saudi detainee Mohammed al-Qahtani, a terrorist suspect arrested in Afghanistan in connection with the 9/ll skyjackings. According to Mayer, he was stripped and shaved, put in an isolation pen under artificial lights for 160 days, kept in a cold room, interrogated for up to 20 hours at a stretch, deprived of sleep, straddled by female guards, forced to wear a bra and women's underwear on his head, put on a leash and threatened by dogs, taunted that his mother was a prostitute, and forced to listen to blaring pop music.
It was Rumsfeld who appointed Dr. Stephen Cambone, the Defense Undersecretary who gave the orders to "soften up" Iraqi prisoners. Cambone told Major General Geoffrey Miller, former Guantanamo commandant, to go to Iraq to "Gitmo-ize" the interrogation process. Miller reportedly said, "You have to treat them like dogs" and okayed use of stress positions "for agonizing lengths of time," according to reporter Seymour Hersh. Cambone is named in the CCR complaint for his role in "creating a secret operation program whose mandate included committing war crimes."
One form of torture begins with "extraordinary rendition." Alleged terror suspects have been abducted by the CIA and flown to be tortured (and/or murdered) in Egypt , Saudi Arabia , Syria , Morocco , Jordan and Uzbekistan , etc. The practice was begun around 1996 under President Clinton and vastly expanded by President Bush after 9/11. Sandy Berger, Clinton 's National Security Council director, and counterterrorism boss Richard Clarke, have been identified as having approved extreme rendition. Clinton , of course, is also culpable. Right now, Italy would like to lay its hands on 22 C.I.A. agents who three years ago abducted Milan resident cleric Hassan Osama Nasr for torture in Egypt .
CIA pilots involved in extraordinary rendition flights, as well as their boss, former CIA Director Porter Goss and CIA ex-counter-terrorism chief Cofer Black should be called to account. Recall Goss asked Congress to exempt CIA operatives from any law banning torture and Black told Congress, "After 9/11, the gloves came off." Any European officials who transferred suspects to the CIA are culpable.
One human rights consortium said last April it has documented the involvement of over 600 U.S. military and civilian personnel for the abuse and torture of 460 detainees.

text: How to Set Up Auto Trading Many investors subscribe to newsletters to get recommendations on which stocks to buy and sell. These newsletters typically send out alerts on a schedule, and this works well for some investors. Posted: 1/17/2017 12:47:08 PM How Automatic Trading Works Automatic trading, also known as "auto trading," is one of the strategies you can use to trade stocks or options without as much personal involvement. Below is some basic information about auto trading to help you decide whether this approach is right for you. Posted: 1/17/2017 11:06:26 AM What Are the Risks Associated with Automatic Trading Services and Newsletter Publisher Trading Alerts? The term "auto trading" means different things to different people. This makes it so that the risks of automatic trading depend on which type is being talked about. In one sense, the term refers to the use of software to execute trades in a live account. Another sense refers to allowing a broker to execute trades for an investor "automatically" – with no input from the investor. Both of these carry risks, but they are quite different from each other.

The Small Pizza size is plenty for 1 person and not all crust. Had the meat lovers, taste great, love the thin crust, lots of meat too. Recommend for a quick lunch under $20.. only negative is no beer sold but you can BYOB. GREAT SERVICE TOO!!!
Tasty pizza with very friendly staff. The price is a little high but I'd say if you share a large pizza it is worth the price, especially given how delicious it is.
Tastiest pizza I've had in a while! I don't live close to Irving but if I'm ever in the area I will stop by without a doubt!
I had heard about this gem in NW Irving & just recently finally tried it. It did not disappoint. The toppings were so fresh the flavors were straight out of Tuscany! super delicious! I can't wait to go back & take my husband! Its on the other side of town for me -but so worth the drive!
If you are going to charge what you do for pizza...the customer service and value is a must. This may be another restaurant that has forgotten this and may lose out to new restaurants that make this a priority.
Authentic wood-fire grill pizza. Good ingredients and taste. Recommend the Margherita and Parma Pizza. Yummy!!
My wife brought me a slice of pizza from Cavalli's and I had to try more! Their ingredients are so fresh, the crust the right thickness and the options endless. My wife and I share the "personal" pizza since it comes with 8 slices. Most recently, we ordered the "Cowboy" substituting the meatballs with prosciutto. Absolutely delicious!
I would eat...
So GOOD. Best pizza in Dallas. The Irving Salad was wonderful. The pizza was just a weekly special and it was outrageous.
I'm Italian, and I can assure you that Cavalli's pizza is one of the best piazzas I ever enjoyed (I forgive them for some adaptation to local taste...). Try also the "mozzarella fritta" and the "arancini"...
The pizza is awesome and at such a good price! The kids loved it did not get one complaint from them and my husband and I couldn't of been happier

Czechs Say ECB's QE No Hurdle to End Koruna Cap as Guidance Keptby and
Board reaffirms timing of probable cap exit at around end-2016
Czech monetary cycle `not synchronized' with ECB policy
Czech central bankers reaffirmed their outlook for maintaining a limit on koruna gains for about one more year even after their euro-area counterparts expanded monetary stimulus.
The Czech National Bank held its benchmark two-week interest rate at 0.05 percent for a 25th meeting on Wednesday, matching the forecasts of all 13 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Governor Miroslav Singer reiterated a pledge to keep the currency cap, defined as "close to" 27 koruna per euro, in place at least until the second half of next year. The bank will probably exit the regime at around the end of 2016, he told reporters after the policy meeting in Prague.
The monetary authority is caught in a conundrum of domestic demand driving one of the fastest economic expansions in the European Union and declining commodity prices that pushed inflation back to near zero. While the European Central Bank's quantitative easing is channeling more capital into Czech assets, rate setters in Prague don't need to wait until the euro-area's monetary stimulus ends to exit the currency cap, according to Singer.
"Our monetary cycle is not synchronized with the ECB," he said. "It's easily possible we'll exit before them. Which doesn't rule out subsequent interventions against sharp exchange-rate moves without a currency commitment."
The meeting came a week after the ECB cut one of its main rates to a record low and expanded its asset-purchase program to at least 1.5 trillion euros ($1.6 trillion) to shore up the currency union's muted economic recovery and bring inflation closer to 2 percent.
The Czech annual inflation rate fell to a nine-month low of 0.1 percent in November, mainly because of cheaper food and lower energy costs. The central bank sees inflation at 2.2 percent at the end of its forecast horizon in the first quarter of 2017.
The economic recovery and speculation that policy makers may scrap the limit earlier than planned pushed the exchange rate toward 27 against the euro in July and August, forcing the central bank to sell koruna in the market for the first time since it imposed the cap in November 2013. The currency has hovered near the intervention level in the past month, trading little changed at 27.03 against the euro at 4:32 p.m. in Prague.
The central bank, whose latest data showed no interventions were conducted in October, probably sold the national currency again in November and December in line with its foreign-exchange commitment, according to Jakub Seidler, chief economist at ING Groep NV's unit in Prague.
The bank board sees risks to its price growth outlook as "broadly balanced" on the monetary policy horizon of 12 to 18 months, Singer said. The forecast envisages a "sustainable fulfillment" of the 2 percent target -- a condition for a return to conventional policy tools -- from early 2017.
Latest data indicate "robust" growth in gross domestic product in the fourth quarter, Singer said. While the declining cost of oil is a "positive supply shock" for the economy, the need to maintain "significantly expansionary monetary conditions" still persists, he said.
"We had thought that the council might strike an even more dovish line given the latest inflation data and fresh fall in oil prices," William Jackson, senior emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, said in a note. "Nonetheless, it seems that the council isn't too concerned by the softening inflation outlook."

"Pecan Pie" Top 5 Page for this destination Virginia Local Custom Tip by b1bob
Virginia Local Customs: 89 reviews and 177 photos
The pecan tree, which is similar to the hickory and walnut family, was growing wild in the United States long before any European settlers arrived here. Because the nut doesn't grow naturally in any other part of the world, the United States lays exclusive claim to it. On the pie itself, there are a number of theories to its origin. Of the many favourite American dishes inspired by the pecan, it doesn't get better than pecan pie with its rich, dark, custard-like filling and heavily encrusted, crunchy pecan topping. Exactly where the pie originated is a mystery, but some suggest the wife of a Karo Corn Syrup executive may have developed the pie more than 70 years ago in an effort to create recipes to help sell the product. Others believe the pecan pie originated in the backwoods of Georgia or Alabama where even the poorest of families had the pie's basic ingredients of corn syrup and pecans in their pantries. Like with everything else, chefs at fancy restaurants who like to call themselves creative have done their best to create the ultimate pecan pie with the additions like chocolate, molasses, bourbon, sweet potato, cinnamon apples, vanilla, maple syrup, and even a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top. I say, keep it simple. Other pecan favourites that come from the South include pralines, sticky buns, candied pecans, fruitcake, pecan tarts, sweet potatoes or grits with pecans, pecan stuffing for meat dishes, and butter pecan ice cream.

For football fans out there Super Bowl XLVI means mile-high kicks, cringe-inducing sprints toward the goal line, and game-changing interceptions. For the rest of us, it means commercials… and hopefully chili.
Known for it's wide appeal and massive audience, the annual Superbowl broadcast tends to attract the cream of the product-hawking crop. It's become so renowned that there's almost an unspoken competition among companies to air the commercial everyone will be chatting about long after the stadium has emptied and the players have taken off their armor… er, padding. With 30 seconds of air time costing roughly $3.5 million, hopefully this year will not disappoint, and maybe it will even step up where last year left room for improvement- (insert joke about Kim Kardashian selling more than just Skechers here).
So, if you're like me and are more jazzed about decorating chocolate covered strawberries to look like mini-footballs than about the big game, here is a list of some hotly anticipated things to look forward to when the ole' pig skin is taking a breather:
1. Continuation of Volkswagen's doggy Star Wars commercials… let's hope the force is strong with them.
2. A new trailer for Joss Whedon's superhero epic The Avengers. Watch for the PopMatters Joss Whedon book in stores when the movie opens. Click here to view the stars collide in this short the new trailer.
3. Matthew Broderick spoofing his Ferris Bueller character in an ad for Honda's new CR-V. See if you can spot all the references to the original movie here—there are over two dozen.
4. The winner of Doritos' "Crash the Super Bowl" competition, a contest where fans create their own commercials and vote on which one should air during game time. Click here to check out the finalists.
5. Kim Kardashian's replacement "Mr. Quiggly", a pug trying to gain the strength he needs to out-pace greyhounds in this Skechers series. Check out the preview for the series here.
6. The eternally young E*Trade Baby giving sage advice to various people during defining moments in their lives. Check out his best man wisdom here.
