"Dwayne was promptly here at schedule time! Very professional and knowledgeable!! Had the replacement part on truck, now we have heat again! Thank you and God bless"
Air Conditioner Repair in Murphy, TX 75094
"The company and all personnel I spoke to are extremely professional.
Steve, who came to our house for the repair work, was very understanding to my situation. Steve and I agreed that the unit we have may not have those many years left on it and it doesn't make sense to spend hundreds of dollars in buying parts. Alternatively he came up with a brilliant solution to fix the fan shroud which was making noise. In addition, Steve stopped by after hours because there was an issue with wiring that was shutting the A/C unit down.
Compared to other providers, Steve didn't try to up-sell me anything and I appreciate Steve's honesty. I will highly recommend Montgomery HVAC Service Company to all my friends and family members who needs A/C work.
Thank you once again!"

"I have used Montgomery HVAC exclusively for the last ten+ years. I have never used a Company that I have been as satisfied with as Montgomery. They have done two complete system installs for me (two different areas of the house) plus various service/repair tasks that have come up over the years. Their work has been far more competently performed than any other HVAC company I have used — and there have been many.
Perhaps more importantly, I consider them to operate on a highly ethical level. I have never felt like they took advantage in terms of pricing or the scope of work to be performed. They have always patiently explained issues in a manner that I could understand, no matter how many questions I have had. Their pricing is fair. Their responsiveness is good. I can proudly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC work. I will use no-one else."

"My request for service on July 4th was left on voicemail. To my surprise Betty returned my call to acknowledge my request for service. Betty was unable to provide a date at that time and said she would call the next day. Sure enough the next morning Betty called and scheduled service for the following day, Although this was not an emergency I was delighted with the rapid response. Friday, Dwayne arrived on time (I was a little late) and addressed each issue I presented to him. Dwayne efficiently and effectively addressed each issue to my complete satisfaction. I am very satisfied with the Montgomery HVAC company and look forward to a continued excellant working relationship. Thank you Betty and thank you Dwayne"
Air Conditioner Maintenance in Allen, TX 75002
"Montgomery HVAC is the company to call when you need someone you can trust.
We have lived in Allen for nearly 18 years. During that time we have encountered companies which will try to upsell to the extent that they have unplugged a system to make us believe we needed to a new unit.
You will never have that problem with Montgomery, They are honest, prompt, respectful, efficient and very capable. They will provide options and will always stand behind their work. Call Betty, she'll get someone on the job right away."
Air Conditioner Installation in McKinney, TX 75071
"If I could give you a million stars I would! Absolutely amazing service. You are such wonderful people to work with, your service is outstanding. I will only be using and recommending you in the future. Also its astonishing that you come when you say, I did't have to hang around for hours waiting. Wish I had know out about your company years ago = BRILLIANT!"
Air Conditioner Repair in Wylie, TX 75098
"I needed a defective evaporator replaced under warranty, and Montgomery was able to get the replacement scheduled quickly and replaced within 24 hrs. They also performed some much needed maintenance on my system as part of the repair work. The system works much, much better now and just in time for the 100 degree Texas heat. Thank you Betty, Dewayne, and the entire Montgomery team for a job well done!"

Recently, our clients from Singapore came to China for any check up on the GN shale shaker he's bought before delivery. Being supported with this business travel is indeed a reaping helpful benefits experience. We've arranged him to GN Factory for 2 objectives. The first it to create a complete presentation on GN product and project its designed and make in excess of 60 nations around the globe. The 2nd objective would be to test GN shale shaker to make sure him before delivery. It's glad to state that both of these two objectives continue to be accomplished. First of all, the client demonstrated curiousity about GN items and suggested many a questions throughout the presentation. Therefore we invited him to the workshop and examined the shale shaker before him. Certainly, the shale shaker works wonderfully throughout the exam, and also the customer was very pleased with it. After he found your accommodation, he reported the testing leads to his office and also the balance was payed.
Really, GN shale shaker has got the following advantages:
1. Shaker deck bottom(screen mattress) switches into ss316L, that is more powerful and anti-abrasive, thus the shale shakers will likes a lengthy service existence.
2. The entire shaker deck likes a much better stability after warmth-treated, as a result it can works for any lengthy consistent time under high G pressure.
3. The shale shaker switches into patent tighten sealing of shaker and wedged securing system of screen, so it's faster and simpler to obtain shaker screen changed.

Why do some leaders enjoy breakthrough growth and profits — Even sell their companies for millions — while others struggle to get by?
That question has driven my research for several years.
And during that time, I began interviewing breakthrough leaders: fast growth CEO's, Entrepreneurs and Executives who had created breakthrough results.
My process was to begin with the breakthrough then work backwards.
The first few steps back were obvious…
Before anyone got a breakthrough – they took action.
And what comes before action?
Before anyone could take action, there had to be something to take action on; an idea, solution, plan, or experiment.
The next step back was a bit more puzzling…
Where do breakthrough ideas that fuel high growth and profits come from?
Are they just accidents? The invention of genius? The natural course of trying a lot of stuff?
The interviews revealed a very powerful secret…
Breakthrough ideas often come from "Growth Levers". These are often little, overlooked, facts in a situation. For example:
Discover Your Hidden Growth Levers
FREE Guide
Learn some of the most powerful that very successful, fast growth and highly profitable Entrepreneurs and Founders revealed to me.
And discover why you may be "working too hard".
Craig Stevens, Founder and CEO of Mar West Real Estate created an entirely new segment of property and association management when he realized that no one in 50 years had specialized in the unique needs of small business parks.
Entrepreneur Shad Kirvin went from being just another guy renting bounce houses on the weekend to having one of the fastest growth event rental companies in Southern California with the simple insight that one type of customer was 20X more valuable to him than another.
CEO of SmartReply, Dave Savage, catapulted his company's growth with the simple insight that one market segment for his company was the key to recurring revenue.
This insight, that "leverage points" drive breakthrough growth and profits is a big step forward in helping business owners and founders create more predictable breakthroughs: More growth, more profits, more often.
But a paradox still bothered me…
In many of the breakthroughs I studied, the key insight was available for anyone else in the industry to see. Hundreds of bounce house rental companies have the insight available to them that some clients are 20X more valuable to than others – but only Shad Kirvin leveraged that insight into a fast growth company.
What drives some leaders to see and seize an insight while others let it pass them by?
I uncovered two answers. One of them may surprise you.
First, the surprise.
In many cases it was a crisis the leader faced that preceded the discovery of the breakthrough insight.
Dave Savage had his company's future threatened by new legislation that drove him to search for a better way. Craig Steven's had a falling out with his previous employer that set him on his journey to breakthrough success, Shad was frustrated at making less and less money as he was adding more and more customers.
This discovery presents an irony…
A business or organization that is struggling is in a better position to create breakthrough results than one that is sailing smoothly along.
Now, what is the other precondition that often led to a breakthrough insight?
You can't interview leaders who are creating breakthroughs without noticing that they are driven.
The status quo, incremental growth, and benchmarking just are not acceptable.
If you combine both those pre-conditions to creating a breakthrough, crisis and drive, you are left with a simple answer:
Leaders who find breakthrough insights are leaders who are looking for them.
You don't have to wait for a crisis to find growth. But If you are not looking for more growth and higher profits, you not going to find them.
So, here's the critical question for YOU: "Are you driven to grow or just fine with the status quo?"
That question alone determines your level of success in the weeks ahead.
Choose growth!

Stephanie Jeannot, aka Jnote. It's a name you shall not forget. Before we get started let me just say this girl has talent. I'll be taking a listen at the title track off the new full length album entitled We Are People United. The tune is actually called "People United" but it's as close to a title track as it can be!
Stephanie Jeannot – People United
Stephanie is an accomplished woman having achieved a BA in English/Professional writing from Medgar Evers College and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Not only is she super smart, but she has also established herself as a producer and host of the radio show Jazz on the JNote, a jazz-based talk and music show. I'm a fan and now, to the music…
Upon my initial listen I was severely impressed with Jnote's vocal abilities. She's obviously a major talent. For lack of better references for those that are deeper into the scene than I, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu come to mind to name a couple. If you're into the neo-soul side of R&B, then this particular lady should be on the top of your "undiscovered" list to listen to next. The tune is extremely catchy and is just short enough to keep you wanting more. Paul Garrod does an amazing job on the production end, however the overall level of the song seems a little low. I would boost it or take another shot at mastering. I'm not getting the fullness of sound (i.e. tight yet full and boomy kick drum) or the warm sound of the keyboards used that I would expect in this sort of genre. Also, the recording signal overall just seems low.
The tune is really composed and put together well though. I don't want to nitpick too much on mastering levels. If you turn the volume up you'll get the desired bass resonance from your speakers. Engineering and production critiques aside, Jnote is a star. She possesses control over her voice that most singers can only dream of. If you check out her website you can find out more about her and check out some live performances and videos. I encourage anyone that is into this genre to look further into Stephanie Jeannot, aka Jnote. It will definitely be worth your time. As always thank you for reading and supporting indie music of all genres!

Martineau, born in Edinburgh in February of 1960, was given an honorary doctorate by the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 2004, and was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2016.
Tickets for the concert are $35-$30 for adults and free for children and students. For more information call (518) 388-6080 or visit www.unioncollegeconcerts.org.

Kuwait: CLDP Provides Legislative Experience for Economic Development Conference
On February 7, CLDP Senior Counsel James Filpi spoke at the Kuwait annual Knowledge Economy Forum conference organized by the Kuwait Supreme Council of Planning and Development in Kuwait City. The conference brought experts in economic development from around the world to discuss the demands on Kuwait to develop a knowledge based economy and continue to be a robust participant in the global economy. Mr. Filpi emphasized the importance of Kuwait keeping pace with international commercial law standards and the challenges for legislators supporting economic growth in a knowledge based economy. Mr. Filpi provided insights into lessons learned in the Arabian Peninsula and globally for legislative drafters attempting to regulate a knowledge based economy effectively. Since 2004 in the Arabian Peninsula, CLDP has advocated for legislative efforts to modernize commercial law and trained legal stakeholders in international commercial law best practices. CLDP's focus in the Arabian Peninsula is to provide the legal expertise and training to encourage the countries in the Arabian Peninsula to modernize their commercial laws and create opportunities for local and international companies operating in the region.

You really captured the true sense of the off-season. Including traces of snow - a rare sight around here so far this "winter".

Thanks Per. I take it you havent seen that much snow in Sollentuna so far this warm winter.

Well, you know. The average winter around here lasts about 48 hours. We've had one so far this season and although it was brief it brought the road traffic to a complete standstill. So I guess we shouldn't be complaining... :)

José de la Luz Sáenz (1888–1953)—or Luz—believed in fighting for what was right. Although he was born in the United States, he and his family experienced prejudice because of their Mexican heritage. When World War I broke out, Luz volunteered to join the fight. Because of his ability to quickly learn languages, he became part of the Intelligence Office in Europe. However, despite his hard work and intellect, Luz often didn't receive credit for his contributions. Upon his return to the US, he joined other Mexican-Americans whom he had met in the army to fight for equality. His contribution, along with others, ultimately led to the creation of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), which is the oldest Latino civil rights organization. Soldier for Equality is based in part on Luz's diary during the war. It includes a biography of Luz's later years, an author's note, a timeline, a bibliography, and an index. -- publisher
The Tuskegee Airmen's mission to Berlin
"Through clouds and over mountains and farmland ... Two cartoon flies accompany readers on an adreneline-pumping flight over war-torn Europe as the U.S. Army Air Corps' Tuskegee airmen take on a heroic, history-making mission during World War II."--Provided by publisher
Lost and found cat
When an Iraqi family is forced to flee their home, they can't bear to leave their beloved cat, Kunkush, behind. So they carry him with them from Iraq to Greece, keeping their secret passenger hidden away. But during the crowded boat crossing to Greece, his carrier breaks and the frightened cat runs from the chaos. In one moment, he is gone. After an unsuccessful search, his family has to continue their journey, leaving brokenhearted. A few days later, aid workers in Greece find the lost cat. Knowing how much his family has sacrificed already, they are desperate to reunite them with the cat they love so much. A worldwide community comes together to spread the word on the Internet and in the news media, and after several months the impossible happens Kunkush s family is found, and they finally get their happy ending in their new home
In the new world
The story of Robert and Margarete and their children Johannes and Dorothea, who emigrate from Germany to the United States in 1850. After landing in New Orleans and joining a wagon train headed west to Nebraska, the family establishes a farm outside Omaha. The book ends with a switch to modern day with descendants of Robert and Margarete living on the same farm. They make the decision to investigate their roots and visit Germany, reversing the trip their ancestors made
Poems in the attic
A young girl learns much about her mother as she reads a collection of poems written before she was born that capture her mother's memories of living around the world and growing up as a child of an Air Force serviceperson. Includes author's note, list of Air Force bases, and explanation of the free verse and tanka poetry forms used
As good as anybody
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Abraham Joshua Heschel. Their names stand for the quest for justice and equality.Martin grew up in a loving family in the American South, at a time when this country was plagued by racial discrimination. He aimed to put a stop to it. He became a minister like his daddy, and he preached and marched for his cause.Abraham grew up in a loving family many years earlier, in a Europe that did not welcome Jews. He found a new home in America, where he became a respected rabbi like his father, carrying a message of peace and acceptance.Here is the story of two icons for social justice, how they formed a remarkable friendship and turned their personal experiences of discrimination into a message of love and equality for all.

The vaquita marina, a porpoise found only in Mexican waters, is headed for extinction according to the latest estimate of their numbers.
The International Commission for the Recovery of the Vaquita and Semarnat, the Environment Secretariat, used acoustic devices to identify surviving vaquitas in the Sea of Cortés between September and December last year. The results were released yesterday: they found 60.
That figure is down from the 97 identified in 2014, which triggered a 1-billion-peso federal program primarily designed to pay fishermen not to fish. The vaquita has been a victim of the shrimp and totoaba fisheries, showing up as bycatch in gillnets.
The totoaba is also an endangered species but its swim bladder is a delicacy in China, and fetches a good price — as much as US $5,000 in the U.S.
Omar Vidal of the Mexico office of the World Wildlife Fund believes there are fewer vaquitas than the 60 counted in the survey. He told The Associated Press he believes the porpoise can be saved but "this is clearly our last chance."
He said the Mexican, U.S. and Chinese governments need to take urgent and coordinated action to stop the illegal fishing, trafficking and consumption of totoaba products, and called on Mexico to ban all fishing in the upper Sea of Cortés, home to the vaquita.
Illegal fishing is believed to have continued despite funds allocated from the billion-peso program to pay for monitoring vaquita habitat. The program, initiated just over a year ago, has also been criticized for distributing unequally the compensation payments to fishermen.
Alejandro Olivera of the Center for Biological Diversity said most of the 2,700 fishermen received $220 to $40 a month but some got as much as $63,000.

Before you finish your meandering in "LA", let me be de 1st, or last, 2 welcome u to Southern Cal. Although I admit 2 prayin 4 were less people around here.
I kinda miss the olde days when we k9's were the majority in these parts. There are plenty I woudn't mind sendin back over their many borders & oceans. Yeah, I'm a rarity in these parts - a true So Cal native.
Back in your time of departure, way back in the last century, probably the big music thing happening was Springsteen & Born in The USA. I wunder what became of him. Is he still alive?
Anyway, I hope you have found de place you can call home.
- frazgo said...
Thanks Cafe, and let me tell you I'm not going anywhere. Actually my wife is a native (born at Queen of Angels which is gone now) and all my kids were born at Kaiser in Woodland Hills. I'm well rooted here now. LA is my home though the physical address is here in outer monrovia these days.
Springsteen is still around, was on concert just a couple of years ago. It was in the tape deck for the drive here too, but Sparks was the LA draw for me. My friend Ruth666 was in weho at the time and we had a lot of fun on Sunset back in the day, Sparks was one we saw a couple of times.
Thanks for being the first comment an the anniversary, thanks.

MADISON, Ala. – Madison residents will get the chance Wednesday night to speak their minds about a controversial facility for at-risk youth in their city.
On Wednesday, Madison City Council will look at safety and security requirements at Sequel TSI's Three Springs youth facility and determine whether they were violated. They could possibly revoke or suspend the facility's license.
"We are working diligently to get all of our ducks in a row for Wednesday night," said Madison Mayor Paul Finley. "We have had discussions with the state, with Sequel, we will continue to do that. The public is being heard. Each email they send, we're reading."
Sequel's Three Springs is a residential treatment facility for at-risk male youth. They are assigned to the program through the Alabama Department of Youth Services and the Alabama Department of Human Resources. Representatives from the facility have argued previously that they serve and care for youth that many others will not.
Sequel most recently is being sued by the family of Van Johnson. Authorities said two Three Springs runaways killed Johnson during a robbery behind Publix on County Line Road in 2017.
After that escape, the Madison City Council was divided on the decision to approve Sequel's business license, with conditions, to operate in the city of Madison. The conditions had to do with safety and security, including community notification during escape or runaway situations.
Concerns resurfaced after three teens ran away from the facility last month. Law enforcement located them a short time later.
The public hearing on the business license is Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Madison City Hall council chambers.

From our soothing treatment rooms and pain-free procedures to a variety of calming relaxants, you have a choice in making sure you have a fear-free dental experience.
Sedation dentist Dr. Fred Hecht has served Staten Island area residents for more than 38 years, helping countless patients with dental anxiety to overcome their fears about going to the dentist. He is fully certified to use all levels of dental sedation, and can transform your nervous and negative feelings into confidence that you will receive the dental care you deserve.
W h a t O u rP a t i e n t s S a y
"Sedation dentistry is the best thing I have done in a very long time"

"There is a place that truly caters to us cowards, and that place is Staten Island Dental Care"
"You worked miracles & made me smile again"
"The best dental experience I have ever had."
Why choose sedation dentistry?
Reasons to choose dental sedation from our Staten Island sedation dentist include:
- Reduced anxiety. Your fears evaporate under sedation as your body becomes calm and relaxed.
- Greater tolerance. Because sedation dentistry reduces your awareness, you won't notice the sometimes unpleasant sounds, smells and tastes of dentistry.
- Increased efficiency. Dr. Hecht can use sedation to perform multiple procedures in a single visit, saving you time and money.
- Greater control. With a variety of sedation techniques to choose from, as well as our intra-oral camera and painless injections with "The Wand", you decide what will be the best ways to give you an ideal dental visit.
Dr. Hecht's expertise makes him the perfect sedation dentist for your family. He is a graduate of the Pankey Center and the Kois Center and has studied many advanced procedures covering multiple facets of dentistry. He volunteers with the Flying Doctors and has undertaken many trips to impoverished villages around the world on a quest to improve oral health.
That same zeal and commitment to quality dental care is shared with the entire staff of his Staten Island sedation dentistry offices.
Calm your fears with sedation dentistry
Patients under Dr. Hecht's care can enjoy several relaxation and sedation options, including:
- Laughing gas (aka "sweet air")
- Intravenous sedation
- Oral conscious sedation
In addition, procedures performed by Dr. Hecht carry a five-year dental warranty, guaranteeing the quality of the workmanship you receive. He makes being afraid of the dentist a thing of the past.
The best part about sedation dental care done by Dr. Hecht is that it does not cost you an arm and a leg. Qualified applicants can receive zero percent financing, so they can pay for any dental procedures in affordable installments.
We want to take the fear out of going to the dentist for you.
Please contact us today and let Dr. Hecht make your mouth feel happier.

We fly from Edinburgh which costs about £330 each, unless its the peak months in which case its over £500 each return. When I used to go to Malaga I think the flights were about £250 so not a great difference.
I don't really have much of a choice with using post, but I have found it to be fairly reliable. When they produced my daughters first passport it only took about a month applying by post, so the extension must be one of those slightly odd things which involve enormous amounts of pointless (as far as I'm concerned) paperwork.
No announcement yet.
Extortionate Visa Increase!!

The cheapest I managed to find this year is with BA and that was a special offer costing us around £250 return each for November. Over the last 5 years it's never cost us less than this for anytime of year We went to Portugal for under £200 all together in May.
Sorry, stand corrected about the passport Have you found doing it through the post reliable (apart from spelling mistakes)? I'm a bit wary to do it through the post as hubby waited for a very long time to get his passport extended.
Anyway hope you have an enjoyable trip Felicity
Leave a comment:
I didn't think it cost that much to fly there? Or at least not particularly more than it costs to fly to spain? Just never go in July/August when the price tends to be double the normal cost.
Also it does say on the website that you need to have photocopies of every page in the passport (I always apply by post so I double-triple check). Upsettingly for me - they spelt my very common Algerian surname wrong in my visa so I'm a bit peeved about that but don't have enough time to get it fixed. I just hope the Algerian border control don't really care that much.
Leave a comment:
I can't believe it either! I'm pretty disgusted too! £85? You at least think that it would be processed efficiently for this price wouldn't you? But the paper mountain behind the counter at the office (probably all the photocopies of blank passport pages that their website fails to warn you that you need to provide yourself, meaning that if you are not lucky enough to have had someone else in the know passes this on, you end up having to go off and find somewhere that does photocopying (which cost us over £5 as well!) and queue again) ,suggests otherwise. Then told it will be 3 weeks to process! God knows what would happen if we didn't do it in person.
Also confused why a British one costs more than an Irish one? Whilst I do think that the UK charges are quite high for an Algerian we do have a high amount of Algerians wanting to come in to the UK illegally to stay and there are a lot of checks to be done but not really sure that the same can be said the other way round. I do understand that Algeria is very concerned still about potential terrorists but then surely that wouldn't be more expensive to check out us Brits than anyone else?
and what about how much it costs to fly there! Considering how close we are and the amount of passengers that fly there from the UK and back throughout the year! I've noticed Monarch do flights to the Sahara (one of the oil bases) but it's not from the UK.
As for them not helping to encourage tourism, well I don't really think the authorities are really bothered. Algieria is actually rich enough from its oil that they don't need it. Which is a crying shame.
I like to see my husbands family more really but the price is getting more prohibitive all the time!

i am married to an algerian so yeah i suppose its worth looking into thanks for the tip but you know yourself if they can make it complicated they will....A few years back my husband and i were in france and decided to go to algeria, we went to the consulate in paris and were told you need to fly to london for the visa...were like WHAT so anyway in the end (only cos my husband knew someone from his neighbourhood) we got the visa for 30 days but when we got there we decided we wanted to stay for the summer (we were in paris in june) every 21 days i had to go to this office and pay nearly 50 euro for a longer visa it was so bloody stupid plus the guy was a sleaze bag dropping hints to my husband (oh i would love a pair of armani shades etc) seriously anyway thats my rant over with thanks again for the tip
Leave a comment:
my husband enquired about this when he phoned the embassy, and they told him that if you are married to an Algerian you can get a residence permit at your local Wilaya that will last something like 2 years, meaning you wont need to keep applying (and paying) for visas during that period.

irish prices too for visa to bedga
Sorry to say put i used to pay 14 euros for my visa single entry to algeria, it will be my 15th visit there since 2000 im planning on going for buisness reasons this time andit will cost me 100 euro how can they justify that
Leave a comment:
It is not the amount in itself, mainly the huge increase. I also have a major issue that someone with an Irish passport pays £25 less for exactly the same visa - why?? At least the British government is equally horrible to everyone. Plus, if Algeria wants to increase its tourism, this is no way to go about it. I could travel to Tunisia and Morocco with no visa and to Turkey for a nominal fee. I will be interested to see what they have to say tomorrow.
Plus I know I am a primary school teacher, but it took my mum to point out to me that £28 to £85 is a 200% increase - not 300%! Oops...
Leave a comment:
That is a big increase... but to be fair the UK charges far more for people to visit (though at least the visa is automatically valid for 6 months, not just the MAXIMUM of three)
Leave a comment:
Extortionate Visa Increase!!I will be making my 4th trip to Algeria in August to spend some much needed time with my amazing husband. I checked the Algerian consulate website to print off my visa application form and noticed a flashing sign announcing new visa fees. So i opened the link and was horrified by what I found. A single-entry visa used to cost £28 which I thought was perfectly reasonable. It now costs £85!!!!!! How can they justify a 300% increase? I almost don't believe it. Has anybody else applied for a visa from the UK recently? Have they changed the length of the visas so I can use this one again? I am going to call the embassy on Tuesday just to check again - the whole situation is beyond ludicrous.Tags: None

$70 million Dallas high school football stadium opens, but it's not the most expensive one
Just in time for high school football season, a Dallas-area school district is opening a new $70 million stadium this week.
The McKinney ISD facility will serve three campuses and join the growing list of mega-high school football stadiums that have made headlines in recent years.
By our count, the new $70 million structure is the second most expensive high school stadium in Texas, losing out only to Cy-Fair ISD's $80 million Berry Center in Houston that opened in 2006.
In terms of seating, however, the McKinney ISD stadium may actually be larger than the Berry Center.
The new Dallas-area stadium is expected to seat 12,000 audience members. The Berry Center has a capacity of 11,000.
RELATED: What it cost to go to college the year you were born
At a media event, McKinney ISD stadium Superintendent Rick McDaniel said the new stadium is "not about showing off," according to the Dallas Morning News.
"This is about our kids and the future of McKinney ISD," he said.
Earlier this year, significant cracks were found in the stadium's concrete, but they were described as cosmetic damage by school officials. An investigation in June found that the cracks did not "pose a life safety concern."
Despite the cracks, McKinney residents will be enjoying the Friday night lights earlier than expected when two local high schools face off Thursday night.
Check out the most expensive high school football stadiums in Texas above.

Back in the day, I taught at a public school. While public school lunches are notorious for their nastiness (that pizza? those hamburgers? Neither live up to their names), there were two days I would always buy....enchilada day and King Ranch day. The enchiladas....oh my...greasy truck stop...two enchiladas loaded with extra jalapenos and a side of beans on top of my cornbread. (I don't even want to know the calorie count). The King Ranch Casserole was....ugh...too good for words.
These days, my kids' school still has enchilada day, and I try to go whenever they do (it's only once a month, usually a Thursday, unlike pizza which is almost every Monday). However, King Ranch Casserole has gone by the wayside....one to be remembered, "back in the good old days" (unlike the stewed tomatoes and pimiento cheese sandwich not good days).
Last week, I remembered King Ranch Casserole. I googled it and was disappointed. Then, I remembered my favorite site for all recipes Texan: The Homesick Texan. Not only did the Homesick Texan rise the challenge, the recipe contained no directions that sounded like "open up a can of..." and had no corn!!
Mmm....bliss in my oven in the middle of August. My King Ranch craving was met and I knew I would at least post one more recipe to this blog before I took another 9 month break. M loved this. I made it a hair too spicy, so the boys didn't eat it quite as well. Next time, I'll dial down the spice a little...or maybe not, then I'd get more to myself.
This serves 8 - 10 (or 12. It makes an 11x7" pan).
King Ranch Chicken Casserole
adapted ever so slightly from the Homesick Texan, because the recipe was almost perfect
1 1/2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken (I used thighs. They're cheaper and more flavorful)
6 t lime jiuce
4 t chile powder (I like New Mexico blend--great flavor and not too spicy)
1/4 c olive oil
4 T butter
1/2 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 poblano (optional--may want to taste the poblano first to see how much of it you want to use), diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T flour
1 t cumin
1 c chicken broth
1/2 c half and half or heavy cream
1 14-oz can diced tomatoes (or a 10-oz can of Rotel or 2 c fresh tomatoes plus 1/4 c diced jalapeños)
1/3 c plain yogurt or sour cream
1/2 c cilantro, chopped
10 corn tortillas
3 c cheese, cheddar or a mix of pepper jack and cheddar
Season the chicken with 4 t lime juice, 2 t chile powder, and a dash of salt. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken in the olive oil for 10 minutes per side or until cooked through. When chicken is cooked through, remove from heat and shred when it is just cool enough to handle. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Set aside (you should have about 3 c of chicken).
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and both peppers. Cook for 10 minutes or until onions have softened. Add the garlic, flour, cumin, and remaining 2 t of chile powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth and cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in the half and half and tomatoes. Cover the pot and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 15 minutes, stir in the sour cream, remaining 2 t lime juice, and 1/4 c cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Soften the tortillas (either dry--over a comal or in a little oil in a black skillet). Ladle 1/2 c of the sauce into the bottom or a 11x7 pan (you can use and 9x13 pan, it will just not be as thick). Top with 5 tortillas, tearing tortillas as needed to be sure the entire pan is covered. Add half the chicken, followed by 1/2 the sauce, 1/2 the remaining cilantro, and 1 1/2 c grated cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese.
Cook uncovered in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbling. Serve immediately, topping with sour cream, salsa, and more cilantro as desired.

This is an excerpt from a wattpad story. A fanfiction about two singers.
There is no cure for unrequited love. It's a disease that weakens your heart in indescribable ways. Watching the person you love love someone else — seeing them so happy without a single trace of you in their mind — is enough to take your life. You would say that it's destroying your heart, but the fact of the matter is that that heart isn't yours to destroy. It hasn't been since the day you fell in love with them. Unrequited love is a cancerous sickness, and you only know you're ill when you feel yourself dying.
And it's typical. The hardest things to let go are the things you never had.
This took a lot of strength to write.
He called. Tonight. He called.
I texted him, you see.
There are certain people whom you know would never disappoint you when you turn to them for help and so no matter what history both of you had, you go to them.
And so, he called. Apparently, he'd gone to so much trouble trying to reach me. As touched as I was, I hid my excitement and thoughts into a 'joke' statement. Hoping he didn't catch on.
We talked. For a moment, I was in bliss. I let it all go. I poured it all out. Words , dripping out of my mouth like honey, just not the sweet kind. He told me he could only call for an hour or so because of load issues on his phone, and it was fine. I heard his voice again. And I was fine. I forgot about my worries. We talked about how our days were since our last conversation and he was very much enthusiastic about everything that's been going on about my life and his, too.
I was happy.
I was smiling.
I was laughing.
He sang to me.
We talked, like always. And he made jokes. I would laugh and the cycle would begin.
For a time, we were FINE.
Until he brought it up. His girlfriend is now interning for a hotshot reporter in their area and he is proud. I am happy for him. And her. Don't get me wrong. I am.
I just wish it were me.
We talked some more and I told him I have a blog now. And I met new people. I told him they mostly live outside the Philippines so I might never get to see or hear them and the closest interaction is me, them, and the screen.
And he said…
And I sat there, by the gate, phone in hand, AGAPE.
Me: Seriously, do you want me to tell you what you told me?
Him: No. *jokingly* Haha! I know I said a lot of bad stuff about LDRs before.
Me: Hah! That's an understatement.
Seriously? He's gonna lecture me on how there's nothing wrong with LDRs when in the first place, he was the one who told me he wouldn't want it because it ruins GOOD friendship.
I was pissed.
I was shocked.
I was disappointed.
Some things in life are better learned the hard way, I guess.
I am happy he called.
I am sad I am not his girlfriend.
But I am fine.
I am trying to be.
Why do I keep falling for those who do not love me back?
Answer: We do, because unrequited love is easier to live through than once-requited love.
P.S. This is just a rant. How I would feel after writing this is irrelevant for me, for now, I think. But if you do think I have said stuff that may be demeaning in a way, please do say so but be kind.
I just wanted to let it out.
I mean, I loved this guy.
What happened to him?
Where's he gone?

OctoMinus Review by The iMums
OctoMinus is the latest switch-accessible app from Zyrobotics that allows children of all motor abilities to play arcade-style subtraction games. Like their earlier OctoPlus, OctoMinus is also designed to be fully customizable so that every child can experience success while playing and learning single-digit subtraction facts.
There are 2 modes of play in the app – Drill and Challenge. Each mode comes with a choice of 3 different skill levels – Beginner, Advanced or Expert. The objective of the gameplay in both Drill and Challenge is the same. A subtraction question appears at the top of the screen and the child has to use the octopus to shoot ink at the turtles to earn points.
While there are many arcade-styled subtraction apps in the app store, I want to highlight a few features in OctoMinus that you won't find in most (if not all) of the other apps.
Firstly, instead of grouping the subtraction facts by the subtrahend (the number that is to be subtracted) in the learning mode (Drill) which is the typical approach, OctoMinus presents the facts by the subtraction difference (minuend – subtrahend = difference). For example, if you choose Drill 1, you will see all the subtraction equations that give you the answer '1′ e.g. such as 5-4 = ?, 10-9 = ? etc.
Secondly, To shoot ink, the child just needs to touch anywhere on the screen or use an external switch (connected through a Bluetooth switch). This makes it easy for children with motor difficulties or cognitive delays to play the games. As they gain more confidence and better skill, they can proceed to higher skill levels and adults can further fine-tune the difficulty level by adjusting the speed of the turtles and octopus in the Settings.

December 3, 2015, Paris, France – In an article written for the National Catholic Reporter's Global Sisters Report, Sister Elise García, OP, notes the "high expectations" of many participants of the Paris climate summit. Some of this is attributed to the influence of the non-credentialed civil society members, who present "side events" on the issue of global climate change. Among those side events was a presentation by members of the indigenous Sarayaku people, who have a special vision to address climate change. Read Sister Elise's full article.
S. Elisa Garcia is a name I notice often. Thank you for your representation of Dominican Sisters.

Think that's online advertising? Think again.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the old quip from department store mogul, John Wannamaker, who said 50 percent of all advertising is wasted, but he could never tell which 50 percent. Fast forward 100 years and it's more like: "20 percent of my ad budget is really working, but I don't know which 20 percent or why."
Sounds crazy, but let me share with you some real life examples from our clients and their agencies over the past year or so.

Weight loss and maintaining weight loss are two very different things. It's not really about what the most effective diet is, as there are so many that are effective, and people usually do have success with them. The area people struggle with most, is maintaining the weight loss.
Dieting in most cases is something that can't be done forever, it's a way of achieving change over a short period of time. Whether it's counting calories via various tracking methods or cutting down on certain food groups.
Dr. James Hill, a psychologist and authority on weight loss, oversees the national weight control registry (NWCR). It's the largest prospective investigation of long-term successful weight loss maintenance. Tracking over 10,000 individuals who have lost significant amount of weight and kept if off for long periods of time.
People's experience of weight loss is diverse:
- The average weight loss maintained over 6 years is 31kg, but some have lost 45kg or more.
- The duration of successful weight loss has ranged from 1 year to 66 years.
- Some people lost it quickly, some people lost it slowly.
"If you look at how they lost weight, there's no commonality at all," Hill says. But "if you look at how they kept it off, there's a lot of commonality."
Commonalities of Weight Maintainers
According to Dr. Hill successful maintenance plans share these features:
1. Exercise Daily
"Activity becomes the driver, food restriction doesn't do it," says Hill. "The idea that for the rest of your life you're going to be hungry all the time – that's just silly."
Successful maintainers average 60 minutes of physical activity per day, sometimes up to 90mins. You don't have to love it, it just has to be a part of your life!
Learn more about Personal Training.
2. Control Calorie Intake
Successful maintainers kept their nutritional approach relatively controlled. They had great food awareness. Even the simple knowledge of knowing how much fat, carbohydrates and protein they were eating, as well as appropriate portion sizing helps them control their weight permanently.
3. Eat A Nutritious Breakfast
Developing breakfast habits are important for health and longevity. Most people claim their choices are driven by routine. While some intentionally skip breakfast to drop body fat, it doesn't seem to work in the long run, as those who skip are 5 times more likely to be obese than those who make it a daily habit. So, make time and choose the right foods.
4. Weigh In
Although this term has become taboo, according to Dr. Hill's research as well as research from Brown University, weighing in regularly helps with weight loss and maintenance. It comes down to awareness. If you know roughly how many calories you're consuming and how much you weigh any given week, you can adjust your intake or exercise program as you require. Remember my last blog post, 'if you're not assessing you're just guessing'.
Making the decision to start and then carry out a weight loss program or diet is incredibly tough to do. However, changing daily habits and implementing effective weight maintenance strategies for life is much, much harder. It requires daily commitment to your health and wellbeing and takes time and energy. Weight loss is important to get started, weight loss maintenance is imperative to your longevity
Are you willing to prioritise your physical and mental health?
Yours in sustenance,
Yudi Morris

Topics: Hackers just gained access to 100 million Volkswagens, Alexa is looking to become your new backseat driver, worry less about crashing your drone into a condo with on-demand Drone Insurance, turning yourself into a Cyborg is a lot closer to becoming a reality and a Chinese spaceship!
There is no denying that Volkswagen is having a pretty bad year. First came the revelation that they cheated on the emissions test for their diesel vehicles. Now, researchers at the Usenix security conference have revealed a way to hack into the remote key fobs of nearly every VW produced since 1995! This leaves up to 100 million vehicles vulnerable. As technology is increasingly incorporated into all newer cars, security will become a huge issue going forward.
BMW has announced a partnership with Amazon, to incorporate Alexa into their cars. The program will be called "BMW Connected" and will help users gain real-time traffic information, find their car in a parking lot and even have the AC running before they get to it. The potential is great, but would you want your car to be so interconnected with your electronic devices?
Apple is also reportedly partnering with BMW for a potential "Apple Car". Dubbed Project Titan, details are a little sketchy. The rumors state that they could have a car on the road by 2020. This leads to a big debate on the show, of why Apple would even need a car in the first place.
Switching to Drones, we all know the dangers of accidentally crashing yours into a building, tree, the ground, your friend, etc. Now there is a company that is trying to offer you some protection. Called Verifly, they are offering up to $1,000,000 of insurance protection, at an hourly rate. For as little as $10, you could be protected from causing damage to other property. One caveat; your drone itself is not covered, so far.
A very forward-thinking company named Cyborg Nest has developed a device called North Sense. It is a miniature, chip-like device that attaches to your body, like a piercing. It will then vibrate every time you face toward magnetic north. Why you would want this, we are not sure. The company has stated it wants to add "extras sense", to humans.
Finally, after discussing a Chinese Bus last week, we have a new idea from China. They want to create a hybrid plane/spacecraft that will travel at hypersonic speeds and be able to break the orbit of the Earth. This kind of technology could be revolutionary in both industrial and commercial travel.
Also, Dixie Carter. You'll have to listen to find out why.
Today's episode features Caleb Denison, Drew Prindle, Ryan Waniata and Greg Nibler.

Here we go again.
Terry Jones, the rogue pastor in Florida, burns Korans as an act of "resistance and revolution" in his effort to keep the United States by being overrun by Islamic clerics and Sharia law. And, halfway around the world Islamist extremists retaliate by burning churches and calling for him to be put to death.
And, all this becomes a headline in the news and the public face of religion.
It is enough to make one sick.
I heard all this with a knot in my stomach and two quotes running through my mind.
First, this quote by Gandhi: "An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind."
And, this from Karen Armstrong's book 12 Steps to a Compassionate Life:
"Let us return the ancient principle that any interpretation of religion that breeds violence or hatred or disdain is illegitimate."
My voice is less than a whisper on the world stage.
But even so I will do my absolute best to practice what I preach.
Terry Jones and others like him are 100% wrong.
And, he and others like him have no connection to the Christianity I know or the Bible I read or the way of Jesus I seek to follow.
And, the Islamist extremists are 100% wrong.
And represent the heart and truth of Islam in the absolute worst way;
And, have no connection the heart of Islam and they discredit all those other faithful Muslims who, every day, seek to make their families stronger and their communities and their world better.
We drown in the despair of the headlines in the news.
But each day there are men and women and children who, because of what they believe and through the courage they find in that vision of a tomorrow which is better than today, step beyond the safety and security of their own lives to feed those who are hungry and to visit those who are in prison and to stand against injustice; who turn their back on selfishness and self-centeredness and share their money and their energy and their time with and for the sake of another. Millions upon millions of people touching the lives of someone else.
They are the true face of religion.
Whether Christian or Jewish or Buddhist or Muslim or Hindu or…
But their face and their actions and their understanding of that which we know and name as God will ever make the evening news.
Too bad.

There was a vision he had once:
a grassy hill
me laying back in a white sundress
him resting his head on my stomach,
both of us facing upwards, eyes closed
hot sun pouring down,
blessing us.
Or was it a field of crimson and yellow
leaves sprinkled on grass,
me in jeans and a white t-shirt
resting my head on his thighs,
the late October sun
casting weak shadows?
We are steeped in shared memories,
long ago visions come true
more than we can count
and never enough,
cool mountains framing
our lives.More scribblings on "vision" here at Sunday Scribblings.

The country's military said 38 people were rescued from the sinking boat on Saturday and that the child's body had been retrieved. {articleGUID} "A navy patrol unit immediately headed there, retrieved the body of a five-year-old child and rescued the rest" of the passengers, a statement said. Four of those rescued were taken to nearby hospitals with the help of the Lebanese Red Cross, the statement added. Lebanon's Al-Jadeed TV reported that the child who died was a five-year-old from Palestine. One million registered refugees Lebanon hosts the highest number of Syrian refugees in the world per capita, with at least one million registered in the country. {articleGUID} Humanitarian representatives and government officials say the number is likely much higher, since many refugees who have fled Syria's civil war to Lebanon are not officially registered with the United Nations. Lebanese authorities have begun organising return trips to refugees willing to go back. But UN officials say with no peace deal in Syria, it is too early for the mass return of refugees. Syrian refugees in Turkey and Lebanon have been using small boats to take them to Greece or Cyprus in the hope of claiming asylum in the EU.
