About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
I like how they fold up into a tiny, portable pouch. Very easy to toss into a bag or keep in the car. We've used them several times and they've done their job. They're extremely thin so I'm not sure how they would hold up to heavy use, but they're great for making me look like the 'always prepared' mom when it starts sprinkling unexpectedly :)

Patricia V | San Antonio, Texas
In the midst of the desert, you will find La Quinta a restful oasis. I so enjoy their great continental breakfast with muffins, bagels, toast, oatmeal, boiled eggs, and do it yourself waffles. The people are friendly and willing to help you with your needs. Everything is near this hotel. The only mall in Del Rio is in walking distance. Sirloin Steakhouse is right next door with their buffet which is very tasty. They have a nice swimming pool which you WILL want to take advantage of due to the HOT temperatures in Del Rio, TX.

"2 dead cockroaches"
Reviewed Mar 17, 2013
yolotraveller | Calgary, Canada
Now that got your attention didn?t it ? It sure got mine when I first checked into the room. I come from a cold climate which doesn?t have such wildlife but I know they are part of the landscape in southern destinations. Still it wasn?t like finding chocolate mints on your pillow. The first one in the bathroom wasn?t that big deal but the second one gave me pause ? clearly there was an issue with housekeeping. I had checked in at about 8 pm and the hall was full of bedsheets from the rooms being ?cleaned?, which disappeared quick enough by the one lady I saw working. I took this as an indication of understaffed, overworked housekeeping. But I shouldn?t have been surprised - there were plenty of signs before I even got to the room. This Inn was listed as #3 by my fellow travellers but I think they were being overly generous. This was the first ?budget? hotel on our road trip and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment of all. I passed on #1 because it was in an area I would have been concerned about Rod and the #2 choice because of the tavern that is part of the complex. I had always done well with 3rd and 4th picks, relying on my fellow tripAdvisor travellers. This was also my 3rd La Quinta on this trip and the first 2 had been beyond reproach ? some of our best experiences. This Inn is very worn, tired and smells bad. The carpets are dirty, worn and badly stretched out of shape. Security doors don?t lock, the pool was dirty, there were cigarette butts everywhere, small pieces of paper strewn throughout, paint peeling on doors and walls, bathroom fixtures hanging loose and full of bugs, the list goes on and on. It had definitely seen better days. Then there was the room itself. The nice young man at the desk was kind enough to give me another room without dead cockroaches ? a ?nonsmoking? room ? across the hall from smoking rooms. Needless to say the hall stunk of smoke. When I entered the room the air conditioner was turned up high but I needed heat and switched it over, which was a big mistake. It hadn?t been cleaned for awhile ( if ever ) and the dust and stench that came from it was toxic and made me sick. The chair was worn and dirty, the toilet had a ring in the bowl, the covers on the 2 queen beds were thin and stained. The sheets and mattress pad were also worn thin. No fridge, no microwave, no plugs at all for the electronics and oh yes ? 2 dead cockroaches. There were a few pros ? the bed wasn?t that bad ? although definitely not up to the standards of the La Quinta?s we had stayed at thus far. The TV was excellent - just a basic cable package but it worked for me ? it was like TV at home. The wifi was ok ? until it died in the middle of an upload. The parking area was secure enough for Rod ( and I had a great view of the overflowing garbage bin). It was pretty decent breakfast in the morning. I am a sucker for waffles, especially in the shape of Texas. There was fruit, juices, decent coffee and cereals and toasts ? typical La Quinta fare( although I had to pick and choose my table to find a clean one). But that?s the best I got. So you can save a few bucks and stay here but next time I?m going to spend more money ? or sleep in my truck. Which I did a lot of the next day. Yes I am a princess and need a good nights sleep to be able to drive the next day. I know better, I got lazy. Chain hotels are not all equal ? they depend on the people who own and run them. I needed this reality check ? I had gotten great value on my TripAdvisor choices up until now ? next time I would be more diligent. I expect that it will be a long time before I stay at a La Quinta Inn again and that?s the real problem. One bad experience is often enough to turn me off to an otherwise awesome chain of Inns.I did shoot video of the room but couldn?t bring myself to shoot anything more - it?s at : http://youtu.be/3X86efvsbgw location @ googlemap @ www.yolotraveller.

"Stay somewhere else"
Reviewed Jan 18, 2013
TrvlLuv | Texas
We used points that were due to expire to stay here for free. We won't be returning to this property. Although the location was close to dining options and main roads, there is very little else going for this property. We stayed in the last building in the far right corner of the parking lot. The door at the top of the outdoor stairs was very old and didn't close upon entering unless you pulled it closed manually, and waited for it to engage (a very slow process!) with the electronic lock to ensure non-guests wouldn't gain entry. Each time we left our room to retrieve something from our vehicle or dine out, we found the door just cracked open enough to allow anyone full entry to the building. The room was small and not entirely clean. There were extra pillows a flat-screen T.V. but little else to make the room appealing. The continental breakfast was very limited in choice of items, even though we arrived shortly after it opened. The fruit hadn't been rinsed and was close to spoiling. There were only a few choices of different types of items (e.g. cereal, juice). We encountered inconsistent service quality. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly/helpful upon check-in but the lady at the front desk in the morning was dismissive and impatient. She seemed very preoccupied with other items on the computer and her cell phone (whether work-related or personal wasn't clear) when we sought her assistance for a minor issue. Although she eventually (and reluctantly) resolved the minor issue, it was accompanied with a bad attitude in the process. We weren't too concerned with her bad attitude at the time, as we knew not to take it personally, but the poor customer service was definitely noted. She seemed "burned out" and it was taken out on us with her unprofessionalism. Sadly, it made a huge impact on our view of the property, as it would on any property where customers are treated poorly. Inconsistent customer service; non-guest building accessibility due to half-functioning door; the lack of variety and quality of the very basic continental breakfast; and older age of the property equates to a poor review for us. Again, we will not be returning to this property.

Sports Update
The Mitchell Retort: McKinney's late FT foils Lady Panthers rally
BY Matt Welch,
Published: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 10:41 PM CST
For a McKinney girls basketball team making the jump to Class 5A, head coach Debbie Harris wasn't exactly thrilled about the way her team captured its first District 10-5A victory Tuesday.
She'll take the win no doubt though, as the Lionettes weathered a comeback bid by Plano East for a 46-45 decision.
"We can't play like that and expect to win games," Harris said. "We got lucky. That's all there is to it."
By whatever means necessary, the Lionettes did enough to improve to 1-1 in district and did so by negating East's (0-2) late heroics. Senior Jordan Welch -- who posted nine points and seven rebounds -- gave the Lady Panthers life after scoring a game-tying layup with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, only for McKinney junior Mariah Mitchell to respond by drawing a foul with 4.7 seconds remaining.
With the Lionettes in double bonus, Mitchell made 1-of-2 free throws to give McKinney a 46-45 edge that East wouldn't erase. Despite Mitchell missing the second free throw, the McKinney defense prevented East senior Kennedy Munson from getting a shot off before the buzzer.
It was a sigh of relief for the Lionettes, who watched a shorthanded Lady Panthers squad erase an 11-point deficit in just over two minutes during the third quarter.
"I wish we had played like that in the first half," said LaGwenna Morrow, East head coach. "In the second half, we went to the basket more. We were allowing McKinney to slow us down with their 2-1-2 defense and I just said we had to attack more aggressively."
The Lionettes led at 26-15 one minute into the third quarter, only for East to break off a 16-0 run for a 31-26 lead with 3:15 left in the frame.
"I'm just frustrated right now with our kids," Harris said. "We had a 10-point lead at halftime and I thought [East] outplayed us. You can't expect to win that many ball games with so many mental errors."
East mustered its comeback effort by forcing nine turnovers, including two steals converted into layups by freshman Daria McCutcheon. That was a common theme for the Lady Panthers' point guardm who wreaking havoc on the Lionettes' backcourt for 22 points and six steals.
"[McCutcheon] did a lot of great things on offense that really got the team going," Morrow said. "Even a couple of those steals she made off the press and turned into layups, that's a lot of leadership for a freshman."
McKinney rallied to reclaim a 34-33 lead inside the final minute of the third quarter after a steal and layup by junior Jaszmin Nelson, who recorded seven points and seven steals.
Able to carry a lead of 36-35 by the end of the quarter following a bucket by Mitchell, McKinney and East traded the lead four times and tied twice over the final eight minutes. During that span, Mitchell recorded eight points while East mustered only two points inside the game's final 2:30.
That same kind of offensive funk haunted East in the first half, thanks largely to the heavy number of turnovers surrendered by both teams. Totaling 61 turnovers on the night, McKinney got the better end of that exchange by forcing 34 takeaways to the Lady Panthers' 27.
"A lot of the turnovers were unforced because of simply anticipating a press or trap that never came," Morrow said. "We ended up overpassing or throwing it out of bounds."
"We made poor decisions on the offensive end of the floor that resulted in runs for [East]," Harris added. "I think our kids are equally frustrated with this one."
Fortunately for the Lionettes, Mitchell aided any of the team's scoring ills by dropping 16 of her game-high 22 points in the first half.
Those efforts gave her not just an overall scoring advantage over East in the second quarter -- outscoring the Lady Panthers to the tune of 11-8 -- but for the entire first half with the home team only able to muster 15 points to Mitchell's 16.
McKinney led, 25-15, at the break before East staged its comeback attempt.
The Lionettes return to action Friday for a 6 p.m. meeting at Plano West while East hosts Plano Senior at 7:30 p.m.

Residents express concerns at second public Exide meeting
By Anthony Tosie, email@example.com, @anthonytosie on Twitter
Exide Technologies' second public information meeting regarding the decontamination and demolition of its Frisco lead-acid battery recycling plant was just as contentious as the first, although this time there was a clear divide between attendees -- literally.
Seats in the crowd were separated by an aisle, and on one side sat members of local citizen groups Frisco Unleaded and Downwinders at Risk, while on the other sat attendees who seemed to have differing opinions about the meeting.
Little new information was given during the one-hour session, although officials involved in the plant's current decontamination noted several changes to its plan that had resulted from the last public meeting. One of those changes was keeping the public more informed about the process through a website set up by the company.
Feedback also resulted in a change to the meeting's style, with a public question-and-answer session at the end. At the first meeting, Exide officials requested attendees to come up and ask their questions on an individual basis.
A topic of concern among residents -- the plant's on-site landfill -- was also addressed.
Frank Clark, a senior consultant on the project from Plano's W&M Environmental Group, said testing done on the landfill discovered "isolated areas" where portions of waste weren't compliant with federal environmental standards.
"Overall, we tested about 100 samples to determine which parts of the landfill satisfied the disposal criteria and which did not," he explained. "We first embarked on this investigation in late 2011."
Clark added that areas where samples didn't meet federal environmental standards will be excavated to become compliant.
"We feel very confident that this re-treatment will have very consistent [and compliant] results," he said. "Only when we've made that determination [that the material is compliant] will it go back in the landfill."
After Exide's presentation, the question-and-answer session resulted in arguments amongst both sides of the room.
Jim Schermbeck, director of Downwinders at Risk, questioned what Exide was doing about portions of the on-site landfill that have already been capped.
"You're only testing the active landfills, you're not testing the capped landfills, isn't that correct?" he asked. "You're assuming everything was done up to par for those landfills. Is [hazardous waste] leaking out of the landfill or not?"
Vanessa Coleman, an environmental manager at Exide, said the company hasn't tested the capped portions of the landfill but assured audience members nothing hazardous was leaking out.
When Schermbeck pushed the issue further as Coleman tried to answer another attendee's question, an individual across the aisle asked him to "shut up."
"Can you do me a favor and shut up and let these other people ask their questions?" the man asked Schermbeck. "I'm not for or against you, I'm telling you to shut up so other people have the chance to ask their questions."
The side the man was sitting on applauded his request, although the other half supported Schermbeck's questions. Several members of Frisco Unleaded asked similar questions, though Exide officials assured them there's been no confirmation any hazardous materials are leaking from the landfill.
During the entire meeting, two Frisco Unleaded members held a sign reading "no lead landfills left behind in Frisco" -- a clear message the group's members wanted the landfill issues addressed.
Shiby Mathew, a local mother, specifically took issue with Exide's lack of environmental involvement in Frisco prior to its agreement with the city to close the plant and sell a portion of its land surrounding the site.
"I haven't seen any of these people speak or talk about what they've done before they contaminated the plant," she said. "Don't you think you're a little too late? This has affected our children -- this has affected my children. What about things you buried years back, what about what's in the water? What are you going to do about those?"

New Demands for Real-time Threat Management
Many organisations are evaluating a new security model based upon IT risk management best practices. This is a good idea, but not enough for today's dynamic and malevolent threat landscape. To keep up with IT changes and external threats, large organisations need to embrace two new security practices: real-time risk management for day-to-day security adjustments and real-time threat management to detect and remediate sophisticated, stealthy, and damaging security breaches (i.e., advanced persistent threats, or APTs).

Deploying Flash in the Enterprise
Flash is quickly emerging as the preferred way to overcome the nagging performance limitations of hard disk drives.

Allen doctor's Rheumatoid Arthritis drug study helps bring hope to patients
R.A. Taylor
Texas arthritis sufferers have hope; recent studies show advances in chronic joint pain treatment and offer promise for those living with this autoimmune disease. More than 50 million Americans suffer from arthritis, including an estimated 4 million in Texas alone. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation. Women are twice as likely to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis as men. There is no known cause of this chronic joint disease, but rheumatoid arthritis symptoms may include fatigue, fever, tender joints, swollen joints, and weight loss.
Leading the way in a new drug study for rheumatoid arthritis is Allen, Texas Rheumatologist Dr. John Lavery. Working along with Accent Clinical Research Professionals, LLC., Dr. Lavery provides a place for willing volunteers to come and play a vital role in finding new rheumatoid arthritis treatments. People who have been diagnosed with RA and would like more information should call Dorina Bojan at 972-439-8449.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of function in the joints. The cause of RA is unknown. As an autoimmune disease, it fools your own body into mistakenly attacking healthy tissue.
The A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia, describes RA symptoms as painful or stiff joints most commonly affecting wrists, fingers, knees, feet and ankles. Further, RA usually affects the joints on both sides of the body at the same time.
Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs in people between 30 and 50 years old, but can occur at virtually all ages. Some sources report that between 1.3 to 2 million Americans have RA and that 70 percent of those sufferers are women.
If not managed properly, RA can cause joint damage and joint destruction. According to the website for the Arthritis Foundation (arthritis.org), "Rheumatoid arthritis may affect many different joints and cause damage to cartilage, tendons and ligaments – it can even wear away the ends of your bones. One common outcome is joint deformity and disability. Some people with RA develop rheumatoid nodules; lumps of tissue that form under the skin, often over bony areas exposed to pressure. These occur most often around the elbows, but can be found elsewhere on the body, such as on the fingers, over the spine or on the heels. Over time, the inflammation that characterizes RA can also affect numerous organs and internal systems."
Researchers studying RA believe that bone and joint damage can begin in the first year or two following onset. One study found that more than 50 percent of patients had joint damage on x-ray two years after the beginning of symptoms. Early detection and treatment are essential in reducing the effect of this often-debilitating disease.
Rheumatologist Dr. John Lavery of Allen stresses the importance of early detection and treatment. "Complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis can be complex and far reaching. RA can damage the lungs, blood vessels, increase risk of arterial hardening and can even lead to congestive heart failure."
He goes on to say, "the degenerative affect of joint decay can affect every day functions like opening doors and containers and can even cause spinal injury if the neck bones become damaged."
Early and aggressive treatment can reduce the impact of RA. Normal procedure calls for lifelong treatment, including medications, physical therapy, exercise, education and possibly surgery. According to Lavery, while there are no test that can determine for sure whether you have RA. Most patients with RA will have some abnormal test results. Using various lab tests, ultra sound and MRI your Rheumatologist can develop the proper treatment for their patient.
In years past, RA has been treated with antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), anti-inflammatory drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Antimalarial drugs and Corticosteroids.
"These drugs affect the patient differently, many only provide temporary relief and many have side affects that are uncomfortable for the patient," advises Dr. John Lavery.
New drug formulations are developed all the time and there are many new drugs emerging for treatment options. Each new drug offers a new hope for RA patients. These new drugs must go through several studies with patients before general release.
Lavery is currently conducting a drug study for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
"Each participant in the study performs a vital role in helping other sufferers get healthier," says Dorina Bojan of Accent Clinical Research Professionals, LLC.
"By helping others, the study volunteers also help themselves. We provide medications and related treatment during the study. We even pay for travel to and from the study location," Bojan adds.
According to Bojan, once the study is complete, study volunteers continue to receive the drug therapy for up to five years free of charge.
"Our study participants can make a significant contribution to improving the quality of life of others, as well as helping themselves treat this debilitating condition," said Dorina Bojan.
People who have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and would like more information should call Dorina Bojan at 972-439-8449.

North Mesquite girls hoping talented newcomers can grow up in a hurry
By DEVIN HASSON, firstname.lastname@example.com
For some teams, early-season tournaments are simply about getting back out on the field and working out some kinks in preparation for start of district play.
North Mesquite falls on the opposite end of that spectrum.
The Stallion girls have a number of new faces this season and that includes the coaching staff, where Steve Harvey takes over as head coach after serving as an assistant for the North Mesquite boys team.
"We're trying to forge a team out of one of the youngest lineups in our district," said Harvey, whose team had two wins and two ties at the Richland Winter Blast Tournament last week. "We're very young. I'll probably be starting three freshmen and three sophomores and maintaining focus is always the most difficult aspect of a young lineup."
North Mesquite is not completely devoid of experience. In fact, they have a talented, albeit small, veteran nucleus to build around.
Lexy Santos is a four-year starter who might be the only senior in the starting lineup for the Stallions. Santos, who has committed to Incarnate Word in San Antonio, was a first-team all-district midfielder last season and will be leaned on for her leadership as much as her production.
Santos will be joined in the midfield by junior Alondra Garza, another of the team's leaders. Garza, who is being looked at by several colleges, including Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Texas State, is a three-year starter who Harvey said possesses great ball skill and passing instincts.
Two more juniors will anchor the defense in Mache Mason, a seasoned club player, and Heather Lacey, a returning starter who usually marks the opponent's top scorer.
That quartet will more than likely be surrounded by underclassmen who will immediately take on big roles.
Freshman Jennette Guia will step in at goalkeeper and Harvey believes she has a chance to make the all-district team this year.
Xochitl Bedoy, another freshman who has club level experience, is an instinctual player who will take over either as the sweeper or as an interior defender.
The X-factor for the Stallions could be Kory Dixon, who Harvey called the best offensive freshman he has coached in his 15 years.
Dixon, who can play midfielder and forward, should be among the fastest players in the area, which they are hoping translates into being among the district's scoring leaders, as well. In the first tournament last week, she offered a peek into the future, scoring twice in four games.
The Stallions have flown under the radar in local circles recently but they have established an impressive pedigree. North Mesquite has made the playoffs in 11 consecutive seasons, highlighted by a state runner-up finish in 2005.
While this year's team might not be on that level just yet, they still expect to carry on the winning tradition.
"We want to improve on last year's progress," Harvey said. "This team is very young, but talented. I believe that we should be able to compete for a playoff spot and that is our first goal."
