October is Energy Awareness Month.
The U.S. Department of Energy this year is
recognizing the importance of energy efficiency
and conservation and working with the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promote
the
Change
a Light, Change the World campaign.
NEMA and its members are supporting this program
and a number of other initiatives that will help
the nation achieve its ambitious energy
efficiency goals. Energy Awareness Month has
implications far beyond lighting. NEMA members
produce a broad spectrum of energy saving
devices and works in partnership with various
agencies to promote their use to the public.
Their
members are on the cutting edge of energy
efficiency technology and actively promote,
often through
NEMA, the use of that technology as they
have for decades. |

the performance of Magic at the Edge that we attended,
there were no less than six professional magicians in

Fly Me To The Moon
Sweet, kid movies are an interesting
study in complexity. As a cultural directive, things can
be alarming, messages muddled. As an educational tool,
Fly Me To The Moon is a fun exercise in teaching tidbits
of the famous space jaunt.……

his first Texas de Brazil outside of Dallas. In ten
years, Texas de Brazil has 14 locations across the
country (one in Aruba) and the 15th location
due to open in Baton Rouge, LA. That 14th
location that just opened is in Las Vegas, located in
Town Square..... |

CHURRASCARIA means STEAK HOUSE
Some people think a critic’s life

eating in all the top restaurants in Las Vegas is
tough. First, many of the shows and restaurants, big

As one who was a victim of violence and hate during the height of the
Civil Rights Movement, I am deeply disturbed by the negative tone of the
McCain-Palin campaign. What I am seeing today reminds me too much of
another destructive period in American history......... |

Playing on Instinct |

As a poker
writer and teacher, I often present a poker situation and
give a concrete answer as to how you are supposed to handle
it. By my categorizing situations and offering solutions, it
might appear to some people who do not read my words
carefully that I am trying to "program" a player into
handling a given situation the same way every time....... |
