[W]hat cause has spread divine influence
of the gods through powerful states, filling
cities with altars, and brought it about
that men set up sacred ceremonies,
rituals which today are flourishing
at important times and in great places.
— V [1161-1166], p. 229.
[People] kept observing what went on
in the sky in fixed order—various seasons
of the year returning—and could not see
the causes that made these happen. Therefore,
they found themselves a way out, by linking
all these to the gods, making everything
directed by gods' will. And they set up
habitations and spaces for the gods
up in the sky, for they saw night and moon
moving through the heavens—moon, day, and night,
glorious nocturnal constellations,
celestial torches wandering at night,
flying fires, clouds, sun, rain, snow, and wind,
lighting, hail, swift peals and ominous sounds
of menacing thunder.
O unhappy race of men,
when they ascribed such actions to the gods
and added to them bitter rage! What sorrow
they made for themselves then, what wounds for us,
what weeping for our children yet to come!
There is no piety in being seen
time and again turning towards a stone
with one's head covered and approaching close
to every altar, and hurling oneself
prostrate on the ground, stretching out one's palms
before gods' shrines, or spreading lots of blood
from four-footed beasts on altars, or piling
sacred pledges onto sacred pledges,
but rather in being able to perceive
all things with one's mind at peace.
— V, [1160-1205], p. 230-231.
[W]hen all the earth shakes underfoot
and tottering towns fall or their collapse
is threatened and hangs in doubt, no wonder
if races of mortal men hate themselves
and make room for the amazing powers
and immense forces of gods here on earth,
so that they have control of everything.
— V, [1234-1240], p. 232.
[I]n their hearts the human race stirs up
anxious tides of worries, for the most part
with no good reason. For just as children
tremble in blinding darkness and are afraid
of everything, so sometimes in the light
we dread things which are no more to be feared
than those which during the night young people
tremble at, dreaming of what will happen.
Therefore, this terror, this darkness of mind,
must be dispelled, not by rays of sunlight
or bright arrows of the day, but by reason
and the face of nature.
— VI, [35-46], p. 241.
People say that gods, when angry, bring on
raging storms and then, when a lull occurs
in the fury] of the winds, that gods' anger
is appeased and everything which was there
has changed back again, now that their anger
has been soothed. [I will explain] all the rest
which mortals creatures observe taking place
on earth and in the sky, when so often
they are in suspense, their minds full of dread,
things which demean their souls with fear of gods.
These weigh on them and press them to the ground.
Their ignorance of causes forces them
to assign things to the rule of deities
and to concede that gods are in control.
— VI, [55-67], p. 242.
[T]hey are carried back to old religion
and accept harsh masters, who, they believe,
in their misery, can do everything,
being ignorant of what can and cannot be,
in short, by what law each thing possesses
limited power, a deep-set boundary stone.
And therefore men lose their way even more,
carried away by their blind reasoning.
— VI, [66-73], p. 242.

"Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again." "
(Illustration: André Gide, de Paul-Emile Bécat, dessin, 1919)
What was daily life like before almost everyone had cell phones? "You left the house and you were gone."
"If you got separated from a friend at an event, you might simply never hear from them again until you were both home and called each other. At home, most phones weren't even cordless. You had to stand within 6 feet of the wall. A popular item was super long phone cords. (…)"

"When I was a much younger man, I spent five months backpacking around east Africa. (…) They had no idea I was coming back, and I can still remember the look on my stepdad's face when he opened the door shortly after dawn to see me standing there, probably the worse for wear, but the better for the experiences I had had. I remember him yelling up the stairs "He's home!!" and my Mom charging down in her bathrobe to greet me and hear about my adventures. (…) No kid today is ever going to have that experience." — Anon User
"Actually, it was utopia. You could actually walk out the door and not be bothered by your boss, your spouse, your attorney, your kids, your parents, your siblings, your bill collectors…"

"If you had arranged to meet someone somewhere, you had to be punctual, because if you were delayed in transit, then unless your meeting place had a phone whose number you knew, and you could also find a phonebox, you had no way of letting the other party know you were 'running late'. (It is interesting to see how this phrase has increased in usage since the introduction of mobile phones, and how punctuality, which used to be a matter of common courtesy, has fallen out of fashion, as people have become more relaxed, and some would say lackadaisical, about their social arrangements and time-discipline. (…)
And impromptu organization was completely out of the question. Pre-internet, if you hadn't talked to someone in person or called them at home the previous evening, then there was little to no chance of somehow pulling them together to do something. Things had to be continually planned days in advance."
— Steve Denton
"Our knowledge of the universe around us has increased a thousand fold and more. We learned that Homo sapiens was not forever imprisoned by the gravitational field of Earth … We've seen deeply into our universe and looked backward nearly to the beginning of time." "

Spock Prime: "A trick I learned from an old friend.
"Even today, some opt for the comforts of mystification, preferring to believe that the wonders of the ancient world were built by Atlanteans, gods, or space travelers, instead of by thousands toiling in the sun. Such thinking robs our forerunners of their due, and us of their experience. Because then one can believe whatever one likes about the past - without having to confront the bones, potsherds, and inscriptions which tell us that people all over the world, time and again, have made similar advances and mistakes." "
"A paradox: the same century invented History and Photography. But History is a memory fabricated according to positive formulas, a pure intellectual discourse which abolishes mythic Time; and the Photograph is a certain but fugitive testimony; so that everything, today, prepares our race for this impotence: to be no longer able to conceive duration, affectively or symbolically: the age of the Photograph is also the age of revolutions, contestations, assassinations, explosions, in short, of impatiences, of everything which denies ripening."

'Life is one huge lottery where only the winning tickets are visible'
"Thirteen forty-nine," was the first thing [he] said.
"The Black Death," I replied. I had a pretty good knowledge of history, but I had no idea what the Black Death had to do with coincidences.
"Okay," he said, and off he went. "You probably know that half Norway's population was wiped out during that great plague. But there's a connection here I haven't told you about. Did you know that you had thousands of ancestors at that time?" he continued.
I shook my head in dispair. How could that possibly be?
"You have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen great-great grandparents — and so on. If you work it out, right back to 1349 — there are quite a lot.
"Then came the bubonic plague. Death spread from neighborhood to neighborhood, and the children were hit worst. Whole families died, sometimes one or two family members survived. A lot of your ancestors were children at this time, Hans Thomas. But none of them kicked the bucket."
"How can you be so sure about that?" I asked on amazement.
He took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "Because you're sitting here looking out over the Adriatic.
"The chances of of single ancestor of yours not dying while growing up is one in several billion. Because it isn't just about the Black Death, you know. Actually all of your ancestors have grown up and had children — even during the worst natural disasters, even when the child mortality rate was enormous. Of course, a lot of them have suffered from illness, but they've always pulled through. In a way, you have been a millimeter from death billions of times, Hans Thomas.
Your life on this planet has been threatned by insects, wild animals, meteorites, lightning, sickness, war, flods, fires, poisoning, and attempted murders. In the battle of Stikelstad alone you were injured hundreds of times. Because you must have had ancestors on both sides — yes, really you were fighting against yourself and your chances of being born a thousand years later. You know, the same goes for the last world war. If Grandpa had been shot by good Norwegians during the occupation, then neither you nor I would have been born. The point is, this happened billions of times through history. Each time an arrow rained through the air, your chances of being born have been reduced to the minimum."
He continued: "I am talking about one long chain of coincidences. In fact, that chain goes right back to the first living cell, which divided in two, and from there gave birth to everything growing and sprouting on this planet today. The chance of my chain not being broken at one time or another duirng three or four billion years is so little it is almost inconceivable. But I have pulled through, you know. Damned right, I have. In return, I appreciate how fantastically lucky I am to be able to experience this planet this planet together with you. I realize how lucky every single little crawling insect on this planet is."
"What about the unlucky ones?" I asked.
"They don't exist! They were never born. Life is one huge lottery where only the winning tickets are visible."

Social Media
I Love Twitter's New Weekly Email and You Should Too
Twitter, God love them, tends to be a little slow on the uptake as far as social networks go. It's been around for about six years, but Twitter has been notoriously slow about adding new features and improving the functionality of its website. For example, it took years for the company to build in a "retweet" button (and the way they built it initially was not well received); it acquired TweetDeck in May 2011, but has kept TweetDeck as a separate application with its own brand rather than integrating those awesome features into Twitter itself.
About a month ago, Twitter sent out an email to users announcing some updates and policy changes. First among those changes: "A new weekly email that delivers the most interesting news and items you might have missed from the people ... > Read more
Duh: Study Reveals Your Facebook Fans Like You More Than Random People
The New York Times just published an Associated Press snippet under the extremely misleading headline "ComScore Study Says Facebook Ads Effective."Larry passed me the link, and we both wondered briefly if Facebook had commissioned a study to "prove" that their ads are in fact effective (since our recent research suggests that Facebook ads are not effective compared to other online display ad networks).
However, if you read the story, it doesn't even appear to be about ads (emphases mine):The report released Tuesday found that people who were fans of Starbucks and Target, or friends of those fans, were more likely to make a purchase than a control group that were not fans.The comScore study comes a day after the research firm said that the number of unique visitors to Facebook's websit... > Read more

Facebook Buys Instagram for $1 Billion … But Why?
Last week, waaay at the bottom of my post on the ethics of search, I included a couple of links to articles about Instagram culture. The photo-sharing app had just been made available on Android OS, which had a lot of Android users cheering and a lot of iPhone users jeering (as in, "Hey, WTF? Our exclusive little club just got a lot less exclusive…")That was pretty minor news compared to what happened to Instagram this week, though – it was purchased by Facebook for a whopping, unbelievable $1 Billion!Instagram, both the company and the app, are very simple – beautifully simple, I'm sure some would say.
They have a handful of employees and the app "does one thing well" – take a photo with your phone, add some fun filters to make it look cute and retro (like a Polaroid, sa... > Read more
Does Social Media Make Us Less Social? What's Your Experience?
Pinterest continues to be the social media hot topic, astounding us with its colossal breakthrough in popularity. Now I'm a pretty big fan of Pinterest, but a recent NPR article discussing the ever-growing social bulletin board site got me thinking about the lack of "social" interaction within the social media sphere.
As NPR interviewer Teresa Tomassoni notes, "… online interaction with people you don't know is an emerging trend in social media." While this is absolutely true, something about that statement seems counter-intuitive. Susan Etlinger, an Altimtere Group analyst, observes that while people look to connect with others who share a similar style or interest, "It doesn't mean that we're best friends or connected on Facebook, but it means these are people that I lear... > Read more

Facebook Wall of Shame: Facebook's Failures, Criticisms and Missteps [Infographic]
A while back, we released The Google Graveyard, an infographic detailing Google's various flops and failures in the product department, including Google Wave and Google X.Now, following up on the release of Facebook's iPad app last week (which most people have been less than impressed with), we've created a new infographic walking through some of Facebook's criticisms, missteps and failures since its inception in 2004.

5 Best Ways To Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile for SEO

The Social Media Showdown: Google+ Beating LinkedIn, Closing In On Twitter, Facebook
In light of recent reports of Google+ gaining significant traction, I wanted to find out: Is Google+ worth the effort from a marketer's perspective? The short answer: Yes! From our perspective, Google+ is already beating LinkedIn in terms of how much traffic they're driving, and it's quickly closing in on Twitter and Facebook!For this case study, I compiled Web analytics data for the WordStream Internet Marketing Blog for the week of July 18-July 24, 2011 (an unusually high traffic week for us), to see which social media network drove the most traffic – the results are illustrated below: The Social Media Showdown: Google+ vs.

Casey Anthony and the 'Social Media Trial of the Century'
With the Casey Anthony trial and its shocking verdict a couple days behind us, it's interesting to take a look at how social media interacts with real world news. The Social Media Trial Time called it the "social media trial of the century," and truly social media venues have been overrun with opinions on the trial's verdict, mostly disapproving.
With enough tragedy, mystery, and deceit to match a prime-time TV drama, it's understandable why this trial captured the nation's attention. Many compare the Casey Anthony trial to the OJ trial that had Americans glued to their television sets in 1995. But there wasn't much social media in 1995, and this time around social media made it easier than ever for people to get the latest updates on the trial pro... > Read more

Facebook Blocks Friend Exporter Tool
Facebook is seeking to block Facebook Friend Exporter, a Google Chrome extension that does exactly what its name implies. The Facebook Friend Exporter allows users to easily extract their friends list along with emails, phone numbers, and other friend data. The tool allows the data to be saved into a text file or imported easily to Gmail.
While the extension is currently out of commission, creator Mohamed Mansour hopes to build a new version that uses an alternative design to combat the Facebook restrictions.The Cat-And-Mouse GameRoad blocks were first implemented when Facebook began showing email addresses as graphics rather than normal text that can easily be found and processed by data scraping tools. Mansour bypassed this by obtaining the email addresses through Facebook's mobile site... > Read more
Facebook Pages Now Customizable Based on Klout Score
Don't be surprised if you start hearing people ask about your "klout"; no, it's not a new brand of Greek yogurt or a bizarre cloud and drought weather phenomenon, it's a measure of your social influence. Klout is a startup that measures users' influence through social media platforms.
Your Klout score is generated through a complex ranking algorithm that takes note of your retweets, number of comments on your links and other measures of your social influence.

Ramifications of a Lackluster Rapture: Google Trends and the Social Media Response
Saturday has come and gone, and the continuously impending apocalypse has been put off once again. No people levitating into the sky, no fiery asteroids hurtling towards earth, just a volcano in Iceland letting off some steam. Even the volcano's biggest threat was that it might possibly disrupt flights in Scotland.

B(r)ing Along Your Friends: Bing 'Friend Effect' Adds Facebook Data to Search
Recently Bing started bringing what they call the "Friend Effect" to search, giving users the option of searching the web with integrated Facebook data. You'll never be alone again, as your Facebook fellows will be right alongside you recommending pages and pointing out hot deals to you.
This seems somewhat odd considering that only a week ago Facebook was attacking Google guerrilla-warfare style for trying to use Facebook data in their own social search ideas. Facebook is wheeling and dealing like a true mob boss.

Congrats to Microsoft, Proud New Owner of Skype
Today, Microsoft officially announced its acquisition of Skype, dishing out a hefty $8.5 billion for the popular video conferencing service.

Osama Bin Laden's Death as Told by Social Media and Search Engines
While Twitter, Facebook, and media outlets around the world were ablaze with news of Osama Bin Laden's death on the night of May 1st, I was fast asleep in bed. It seems I'm always sleeping through important events, having snoozed through the Royal Wedding as well. I don't wake up at 5 am for anything, and while old ladies in fancy hats are always good for a laugh, I've gotten more of my share of darling William and Catherine through the continuous stream of replay coverage.
So naturally it wasn't until I groggily sat down at the computer with my coffee the next morning that I had any idea of the massive NYC partying I had missed out on. And like many others, I got the startling news via Facebook.Twitter Sets Aflame With an Abbotta-BANG!Osama Bin Laden's death has once again exem... > Read more
Facebook Family Additions: The New Send Button & Social Deals

LinkedIn or Facebook for B2B and B2C Businesses?
If anyone asked, I'm sure you could spout off a hundred reasons your company should be involved in social media. But do you still need to get started? Which social network would be the best fit? What are some good first steps? Yes, I believe in social media. How else can you scale talking to people and learning more about them? Building relationships is a two-way street that can benefit you far more than just turning on a faucet of traditional advertising media.
But to have conversations, you need to be where your customers are. B2B? Yes, you have customers, too! Slow and steady wins the race – so setting up one account that you spend an hour on each day is going to be worth more than setting up five accounts and forgetting about them all. But you want to pick the right account to crea... > Read more
Using Quora to Answer Questions
Recently, the question and answer site Quora has been getting a lot of exposure in the technology space. If you have not heard of it yet, here's how it works: Users post questions that they cannot find answers to anywhere else on the web, and people answer them. Unlike sites like Yahoo Answers, however, the site seems to attract those who have a lot of authority on subject matter.
Recent examples of this would be Netflix's CEO Reed Hastings using Quora as a platform to talk to customers of the company's service. Seems like a really smart idea! Other authorities and companies use Quora to engage users and try to quench their thirst for knowledge. What's also different about Quora is that it is more like a social network than other Q&A sites. You are able to follow users, questio... > Read more
Bing and Facebook Like Each Other (But Do They Like-Like Each Other?)
On Wednesday, Bing and Facebook announced a partnership to make search more social by integrating Facebook "likes" into search results. According to the Facebook blog: When you search for something on Bing or in web results on Facebook (powered by Bing), you'll be able to see your friends' faces next to web pages they've liked.
So, you can lean on friends to figure out the best websites for your search. In theory, if you search for "The Social Network" in Bing, you might see links to reviews or stories about the movie that your Facebook friends have given the thumbs-up. Or if you're searching for a hotel in Santa Monica, you might see that a friend liked a certain hotel's Facebook page. In addition, people in your FB network will be more likely to show up in searches for names. M... > Read more
How Tumblr Opened My Eyes to the Social Web
Search Meet Social ... Now Play Nice! In the last SEO Training Dojo Friday Chat, I discussed using the Tumblr micro-blogging tools as a content distribution strategy. A few SOSG warriors wanted me to expand on it, so I decided to share this case study here on the WordStream blog. The temporal nature of universal search, which I had kinda stumbled upon before I embarked on this campaign, is partly why this strategy worked as well as it did.
This particular campaign took place during the holiday shopping rush. Timing the release of content and the channels the content was sent down were, IMO, big factors in ROI and conversion rate. I believe this is because people are sometimes frantically looking for gift ideas when shopping for Christmas. What better gift than something someone has just sh... > Read more
How B2B Companies Can Use Foursquare for Marketing and Advertising
Foursquare, launched in 2009, is a hot mobile social media platform self-described as a "friend-finder, a social city-guide and a game that rewards you for doing interesting things." So far Foursquare has been very successful with Individual users Media outlets, such as The New York Times and The History Channel B2C companies, like Starbucks and McDonald's But B2B companies have yet to embrace Foursquare.
Many see it as having limited utility and aren't quite sure how to leverage it, so they don't see it as a viable business application. So are there ways B2B companies can use Foursquare to reach new customers or promote their brand? Let's get creative and look at some of the ways B2B companies can follow the lead of other Foursquare adopters to ... > Read more
Keywords and Social Media: What You Should Know
When one thinks of social networking they don't often associate it with keywords. Usually, businesses or individuals look to use social networking as a means to brand themselves, connect with friends/customers, sell a product, or share experiences with people they've never met IRL (in real life). But what many brands and individuals miss out on is the opportunity to integrate keywords into the public messages they post on Twitter or other social networking sites for the purposes of research as well as search engine optimization.

This is my Chinese tutor, Mr. Wang (pronounced "wong").
He is a 74 year-old, retired Chinese teacher who lives on the 1st floor of our building. He is very famous around Huairou and since being retired, he often speaks at conferences and teaches foreigners for free. Our lessons are completely in Chinese since he doesn't speak English. Since coming to Huairou, Mr. Wang and I have met every Tuesday and Thursday night from 8 – 10pm.
During our lessons, not only will Mr. Wang teach me conversational Chinese, but he also teaches me poems, songs, and traditional Chinese stories. My favorite part of our lessons is being able to read and write more Chinese characters.
I am blessed to have him as my Chinese tutor.

Cleaning China
We had the question today about trying to clean some spots off of some Antique china a customer had. Now depending on hand painting on the china or any detailing that might get ruined with over washing, disregard these tips. Use a small amount of baking soda and warm water and scrub lightly. Now if that doesnt work, let it soak in a sink or tub of water with a little bleach. Bleach does make me nervous but make sure to use a small amount, half a cap full to start with 2 gallons of water. Hope this helps!

University Vending Machine Lends MacBooks
Drexel University students who don't want to lug their laptops around campus now have another option: A library vending machine that offers MacBooks at no charge. Students can borrow the devices for up to five hours at a time as part of a university experiment to determine interest and discover if more MacBook and iPad kiosks should be installed around the campsus.
The MacBook dispenser—developed by Laptops Anytime and located at Drexel's Hagerty Library—is available 24 hours a day, and can be accessed using a DrexelID card. Students are charged a $5 late fee for every hour a MacBook is kept past the five-hour rental time. Each time a MacBook is returned, its hard drive is reformatted and the battery is recharged. To ensure the devices don't leave the library, they are equipped with a security sensor.
"This was a great opportunity to match a specific student need with library staff's ongoing exploration of cutting edge technologies," said Dean of Drexel University Libraries Dr. Danuta A. Nitecki. "We expect the resulting initiative to improve the Drexel student's academic experience."
The Laptops Anytime kiosks will hopefully not only offer convenience to students, but safety as well. By allowing students to pick up a laptop when they reach the library, they reduce their chances of being mugged during their walks home carrying expensive devices.

All locked-in RSPs originate from Registered Pension Plans (RPP). RPPs are plans where funds are set aside by an employer, an employee, or both to provide a pension when the employee retires.
Under pension laws, after a period of time (usually between two and five years after joining the plan), all money in the plan becomes fully vested in the employee. This means that the employee has an unconditional entitlement to the money as and when any age or service requirements are met.
If you were a member of a Registered Pension Plan (RPP), your employment was terminated, and your plan was fully vested, the proceeds of that RPP would be considered 'locked-in'. These locked-in funds can only be transferred into certain 'Locked-in Plans' which include the following Locked-in RSPs and Locked-in Retirement Income Options:
Locked-in Retirement Account (LIRA)
Locked-in Retirement Savings Plan (LRSP)
Life Income Fund (LIF)
Locked-in Retirement Income Fund (LRIF)
Prescribed Retirement Income Fund (PRIF)
TD Canada Trust offers a wide variety of locked-in RSP options. A qualified Investment Consultant can help you choose the right one for you.
For help in setting your retirement goals and understanding your retirement income options, feel free to visit any TD Canada Trust branch or call 1-800-560-6377 any time for more information.

The Rapides Parish School Board has approved an increase of the daily pay rate for substitute teachers.
The board voted Tuesday to increase the daily pay rate to $125 for certified substitutes - about $2,500 a month - and $65 for non-certified with a degree. Previous rates were $65 for certified and $61 for non-certified degreed.
Interim Superintendent Gerald Woodard said a look at other districts showed rates at about $100 with the maximum being about $125.
The Town Talk reports the raise also applies to retired teachers who return to work as substitutes.

Do you think Karen Sypher will receive an objective trial?
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- The ex-husband of Karen Cunagin Sypher told jurors at her extortion trial that she first claimed Louisville coach Rick Pitino raped her in 2007 when money got tight.
Tim Sypher, a longtime Pitino aide, testified Thursday that Karen Sypher first made the rape allegation in 2007, when their marriage started to deteriorate and finances became an issue. Tim Sypher said his ex-wife in 2009 started talking about things she wanted from Pitino and said, "She's nuts."
Karen Sypher is charged with extortion, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness. Prosecutors say she threatened to publicize allegations that Pitino raped her unless he delivered cash, cars and a house.
Just before lunch, Pitino completed his testimony.
The judge ended testimony for the day early Thursday afternoon with Tim Sypher on the stand. He'll return to testify again Friday.

I got this because it was cheap, small, and I had a coupon. It was Very difficult to figure out how to use it. I had to google to get help. It was for my son who fishes and hunts, but has a small apt. and freezer space. He figured it out and uses it all the time. It does take up much room and is handy to use.
have not used it do not know looks ok at this time
This thing doesn't work at all. To be honest I can get more air out of a zip lock freezer bag and have stuff keep better than this. It will be thrown in the trash because even goodwill doesn't want junk! Save your money and spend a little more for better quality.
this sealer would not seal the bag all the way, it left several small holes.after several tries, it finally worked, but never got it to remove all the air in the bag. i am sorry, but it will be returned.
OK I am sure this works great if I could figure out out to use it. It looks new and seems to be fine, however, no instruction manual was included ! It gives a website on the sticker attached to the machine. Gives you a manual to download. Not for the machine I have..... Sure wish I could figure it out !

anyone been to a Ruths Chris?
- chelleyd01 May 11, 2008 12:41 PM
Jake wants to go to Ruths Chris for his birthday. Its about an hour and change from us and we have never been there. Any yeas or nays? Advice? What to stay away from? Price range? Dress code?
Thanks hounds!
It's good....a steakhouse chain.....They serve their steaks on a really really hot plate in some melted butter. I like the shrimp remolaude appetizer. I'd get a NY strip or ribeye and some of the sides to share. I would say average cost for two apps, two steaks and a couple of shared sides, and perhaps a dessert would run upwards of $115-125. Not counting the wine.
I've read of some people who aren't a fan of Ruth's Chris... To each his own. For me, it is one of my favorite restaurants. First of all, the one I've been to in Weehawken, NJ is beautiful and has a gorgeous view of the water. The atmosphere is perfectly serene.. the restaurant is completely full, but you would never know it- everything from your end is calm and enjoyable. Even though the restaurant is totally full and busy, the staff is not frantically running all over and there is no fly by night service as sometimes happens in crazy busy restaurants when the waiter comes by your table and is obviously in such a hurry.. those things are not present. The service is perfectly calm, attentive, professional but also FRIENDLY. There is no snobby, uptight attitude or stuffiness you sometimes get in some upscale restaurants.
I love the combination of old time, classic steakhouse with eclectic newer cooking - the veal ossobuco ravioli appetizer or the barbecue shrimp are delicious and are perfect before a classic porterhouse sizzling in butter, cooked to perfection. The steak is a drop lower in deliciousness than Peter Luger - the benchmark of dry aged steaks to me - but the ambience and superb service make up for it by far. Peter Luger's is a dump and the waiters practically throw a one page menu at you and ask "What do you want?" The steak at Ruth's Chris, though, is amazing - incredibly tender and the butter makes it melt in your mouth. The side dishes at Ruths Chris are sooooooooooooo good and it was hard to choose.. we got 5 sides for 3 of us simply becuase they all sounded so good - the lyonaise with sauteed onions and the sweet potato casserole were amazing.
The desserts were to die for!!!! I had the banana carmelized cream pie and first of all, it was HUGE, and it is the last thing I'd like to eat before I die.
Honestly, it is my favorite restaurant to go and we always go on birthdays or special occasions.
Dress is casual neat.
We have been to the Ruth Chris on the Baltimore Inner Harbor several times. We have been treated well, the food was good and we've had good service. The last time we were there, we actually got a post card from our server thanking us for coming in. I know people tend to say that they are expensive, but it's not like you go there on a daily basis.
In Chicago it ranks near the bottom of the list of the steakhouses in my opinion, down there with the other chain steakhouse Capital Grill, but then again we have some of the best steakhouses in the country. If I was in a location where there were not any other options, and was not picking up the tab, I would go.
re: swsidejim
I'd much rather go to Capital Grille or Ruth's Chris than The Chicago Chop House. About the same as Morton's. Perhaps Gibson's a little better, but only a little. And as for G&G. they welcome regulars and put us out of town hicks in Siberia.
re: steakman55
I am not a fan of Gibson's, Chop House, or G & G. My favorites are Saloon, Keefers, David Burke's, and Joes Stone Crab for great steaks. I cannot go to a chain steakhouse with these other options available.
re: swsidejim
Wow. We went to the Capital Grill in Chicago a few months ago and the 45 day dry aged rib eye was perfection as was the service. Now the Capital Grill and RC here in Troy Mi are both very poor in terms of quality and service. We did eat at the RC in Kona, HI and we had an excellent meal.
So for me it's pretty much the same as every other chain. There are good locations and bad ones.
The one compailnt I have had many times at RC is that they serve head steaks. In Troy the last time we went not only did we get head steaks but they didn't even bother to clean the silver off the fillets. Pathetic.
The sizzle platters are kitchey and the steaks keep cooking from the residual heat after your server brings your meal. I don't like butter smeared on my steak either.
Personally I'd rather go to the OutBack.
I'm in Youngstown, Ohio which is smack dab in the center of Pittsburgh and Cleveland. I am actually having a surprise luau for his birthday on the 7th of June but since he doesnt know...he wants to go to RC for his real birthday on the 6th. If anyone has any other ideas in there, throw them out. His main request is steak!
re: chelleyd01
If you're in Y-town, it's worth the drive up to Beachwood to go to Red if you want steaks, which is getting national acclaim. http://www.redthesteakhouse.com/
re: mack184
Too small, in that though we ordered it medium rare, it was more like well done. The strips and filets seem just the right size to ensure cooking without getting overdone.
Perhaps it was an off night/steak, but I've never seen a really big porterhouse (usually order a porterhouse for two in steakhouses) at Ruth's Chris.
To their credit, they took away the porterhouse and exchanged it for a strip and a filet. Large tip given that night, but always (IMO) excellent service.
re: Janet from Richmond
My mom used to take me to the Ruth's Chris in Beverly Hills every so often. I always ordered my steaks rare and that's how they arrived at the table. Cooks know or SHOULD know when to pull the meat off of the heat source so that it does not overcook by the time it arrives at the table! If it had not arrived as ordered I would send it back. They may be a chain operation but they are not inexpensive!
re: michele cindy
How important is Jake to you? If it is important to you to please Jake, fulfill his wish and take him to Ruth Chris on his birthday and use that experience to determine whether you would want to return when the choice is yours alone. It'll cost you $60 to $75 per person to find out. Personally, I would pay that price the first time just to find out what all the fuss is about. I've been to several RCs. I like the steaks and the sides. Some friends rave about one or both. Some friends think they're vastly overpriced. I wish RC had returned to help rebuild New Orleans after Katrina instead of re-locating to Florida (which admittedly has nothing whatsoever to do with whether the dining experience is worthwhile).
re: Potomac Bob
"It'll cost you $60 to $75 per person to find out"
Thats a real low ball number nowadays especially if you are having wine or cocktails. Steak are $40-50+, not including the steaks for two. Sides are in the area of $8, one side is enough for two people. Apps are in the range of $10-15. My favorite steak is the bone in rib eye and for dress would range from nice jeans a button down to a suit for men. The Boston location is the one I visit on special occasions and I cannot say one bad word about a visit I've had there.
re: elgringoviejo
Definitely go to Ruth's Chris. I've been twice and the steak is amazing. Everyone working there is pleasant and the manager has come over both times to make sure that everything is cooked the way we like.
For dress, I wouldn't go with jeans. Business casual. It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money.
re: lollie424
In Philadelphia, it is not in the top tier of steakhouses. I went once, felt like the hot plate the steak was served upon covered me with the sizzling butter, and was not impressed with the steak. I make a much better ribeye on the grill. Morton's is a better chain, also Capital Grill.

BiscuitsNHoney Posted: 02/03/13
Speaking only for myself, I don't appreciate it when the name of a recipe is misleading. While this may have the components of French toast, French toast IS fried. Period. Why not call this bread pudding for breakfast w/streusel topping or something?

re: work relationships
I'm in my late 30s - most of the folks I work with are much younger by more than just a few years. I'm married and have a family - everyone else is either single, engaged, or recently married. I do go out to lunch with them sometimes - or the occasional happy hour, even though I don't drink - but I can't *go out* with folks regularly because I have a family to go home to and often have to watch my kids because my wife is working when I'm not. It's nothing against them, of course, I just don't have the option to leave the house to go hang out.
Admittedly, if this guy is single and in his 20s, he has less of an excuse - unless the situation is reversed and everyone else has a family and they can't really get together.

I often think of 'cultivating' to mean building or creating. However, cultivating actually means to improve or prepare land as by plowing or fertilizing. It can mean to loosen the soil or dig around existing crops. Essentially, it is the opening of space allowing for expansion.
Meditation prepares your soul to receive the answers you seek. The process prepares you to expand your consciousness, to remove blockages. Whether you pray, write, think or dream, you are posing questions to God, Your Higher Power or the Universe. Praying is asking for answers. Meditation is creating a vessel or opening through quieting the mind to receive those answers.
Just as it is challenging for crops to grow around old roots, rocks and stones, it is challenging to expand your inner peace, love and joy when blocked by anger, worry and fear. Pray for peace, love and joy and meditate or simply sit in silence to allow your blockages to disappear. Notice when they come up and you feel stuck. Holding on to past hurts blocks your infinite harvest. Just as a farmer turns his soil before he plants his seeds, sitting quietly before prayer allows your soul to be open to receive.
Perhaps you have tried meditating and felt nothing happened so you did not return. Again, look to the farmer, everyday weeds must be pulled and soil fertilized even when it appears that nothing is happening. You may not experience any obvious results for some time, but trust that when you pull your weeds of negative thought, fertilize with positive thought, kind words and actions that expansion is happening beneath the surface.
Even if you think you don't know what your doing, set aside 5 minutes a day to sit in silence in the same spot and notice what begins to happen. Sit tall, for when you align your spine, you open to the Divine.
Being Happy Healthy and Fit means gifting your soul 5 minutes a day to shine freely by quieting everything around it. Life is Short. Make yours Magical!

Creamy Beef Stroganoff
I found this Creamy, Tasty, Easy Stroganoff recipe on Facebook. I understand it can easily be doubled, frozen before adding cream cheese and reheated on the stove top adding the cream cheese just before serving. I halved the recipe and served it with egg noodles. I also did not have Golden Mushroom soup, so I used Cream of Mushroom and extra fresh mushrooms.

Theft of Trade Secrets: Can You Stop It?
One unhappy former employee could mean nightmares for your company. Learn how to protect your secrets.
There is an epidemic in the business community. Few see it, few recognize it, and even fewer know how to combat it. It is not deterred by many of the measures put in place by most security professionals, and it can significantly impact an organization's ability to conduct business. This epidemic is the theft of trade secrets. It happens on a regular basis, and it is on the rise due to the fact that nearly all of our business documents and communications are in electronic format.
It is extremely difficult to keep track of all versions of all files and to keep tabs on the activities of traveling employees when they work on their laptops while on the road. Many people have multiple e-mail accounts?both business and personal. It is a trivial matter for an individual to forward confidential and proprietary files to a personal e-mail account. This may be done without any malicious intent; many people work at home on a regular basis. As a speaker and a writer I have copies of everything I have created stored at home both on CDs and my home computer hard drive. If I were devious, it would not be difficult to do the same thing with confidential and proprietary documents and files. With a business downturn these same documents could be used as a bartering tool for someone seeking employment with a competitor.
We have worked many cases that exemplify the current problem with theft of trade secrets. One intriguing case involved the lead salesperson for an international company. He was upset because he thought his compensation was not at the appropriate level. He left his employer to work for a direct competitor. On the surface this does not look like a significant issue, but due to poor security measures on his previous employer's network this person had access to all of the proprietary research and development files along with all of the marketing and sales plans. Upon examination of his computer we discovered a deleted personal e-mail in which he promised the competition that he would provide them with as much proprietary information as possible if the competitor would hire him.
Another example involved the vice president of a division of a Fortune 500 company who decided to work as CEO of his division's direct competition. His compensation package was doubled and included a 50 percent signing bonus. Do you think he received this generous compensation package solely on his merits as a businessman? When examining his laptop we discovered duplicate copies of several documents: one copy on his previous employer's letterhead, the other on his new employer's letterhead. We even found a deleted memo that included a marketing plan in which the new CEO was tasked with reaching out to all of the clients of his previous employer to earn their business.
In a final example, a company announced a downsizing. The following day a corporate executive was seen copying a great deal of information to CDs. The day after that the executive left, along with about half a dozen other employees. It was soon discovered that that team of people was now working for the competition. Why was this a concern? The previous employer had developed a brand-new product line that would give it an edge over the competition. The competition now had all of the design plans and specifications for the new products, along with the engineers that designed them.
When an employee leaves his employer to work for the competition and brings trade secret information with him, he is providing the competition with an unfair business advantage. There are laws in place that are designed to protect trade secrets. One is the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which is a federal law, but most states have adopted similar legislation and the Economic Espionage Act of 1996.

Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula
Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula Reviews
Effective ScrubI've been using this scrub on and off for a number of years. In my younger, more naive days I would tend to overscrub. You want to avoid tearing your tender skin, and Clinique says not to use this on an "active breakout." As long as you use a light hand, I think this is beneficial for removing dead skin cells, smoothing skin, and deep-cleaning. — 1 year, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
don't love it or hate it.honestly it seems a little thin to me, not much for scrubber, but it really does the trick. My skin is smoother, brighter and definately clearer. It doesn't dry me out or make my skin red. Plus it really gives me a lot of complaments people tell me that my skin looks wonderful and they ask me my secret... well I don't plan to tell them ;). — 3 years, 7 months agoBon_Bon | 521 reviews

Remove dead skin effectivelyI usually don't like scrub because it tend to be harsh for my skin. But this creamy scrub works for my oily skin. This is a gentle but effective way to remove my flaky skin. — 6 years, 2 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Habitat for Humanity is using the housing crisis as an opportunity to offer the American Dream to more south Georgians.
Flint River Habitat for Humanity got a $450,000 neighborhood stabilization grant from the federal government through the city of Albany.
The money allows Habitat to buy and renovate foreclosed homes and sell them at affordable prices.
"It just makes the neighborhood nicer for everybody when you don't have vacant homes," said Executive Director Stacey Odom-Driggers. "That reduces your vandalism and you know the people on the street, or the people in the neighborhood feel safer because they've got somebody in this house now. They've got a new neighbor, so it helps the whole neighborhood, not just the family that's going in the house."
The grant will pay to renovate 10 houses, but Habitat hopes they will be able to spread their money out and renovate even more homes.

Something to Smile About

A recent study by Orbit Complete found that 69% of people find women more attractive when they smile than when they are wearing makeup, and women generally smile more than men.
We were born to smile…literally: Babies start smiling in their sleep as newborns!
Young or old, no one wants a parched-looking pucker. Keep your lips moisturized this season with the lip products that make me smile:

You might not be able to have a bite of the royal wedding cake, but you can slick on storied British brand Crabtree & Evelyn's delectable Vanilla Créme Brûlée Lip Butter. The extra creamy shea-butter based formula tastes and smells true-to-life, like a decadent dessert—minus the calories!—and leaves behind just a hint of sheen. A treat truly fit for a princess!

Favorite Find Friday: Korres Lip Butter
Written on January 7, 2011 at 9:17 am , by Fitness Magazine
On my last day as an intern at FITNESS last summer, beauty director Eleanor Langston pushed a handful of Korres Lip Butters into my hands. "You have to try these; they're a beauty editor favorite," she said.
She didn't mention they were addictive! Since then, I haven't left the house without a tub of the rich, buttery formula in tow. The product is perfect for winter lips in need of moisture. And, the tinted shades add just the right touch of shine for both every day and special occasions. You can even dab a little onto your cheeks for a natural flush of color. I love Wild Rose — the sheer, deep red is gorgeous — but there are six other great colors to choose from at just $10 each. What are your go-to winter lip products?

EPA Grants Support Urban Watershed Research
January 23, 2014
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded nearly $5 million in grants to five universities to evaluate green infrastructure practices in urban areas. With Philadelphia serving as the pilot area, the EPA has partnered with Philadelphia's Green City, Clean Waters program to identify cost-effective and innovative approaches to reducing runoff from combined sewer systems that may overflow during heavy rainstorms.
Green infrastructure investments make communities cleaner, healthier, and more attractive places to live and work by retaining or redirecting water into the ground, where plants and soil will naturally filter the water. They not only help avoid system overflows that channel untreated wastewaster directly into waterways but also reduce violations of the Clean Water Act.
This research represents a broad, long term investment to implement green infrastructure storm water management practices. The following universities received these EPA grants:
- Villanova University, Villanova, Pennsylvania
- Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania
- Temple University, Ambler, Pennsylvania
- University of New Hampshire, Durham
- University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

excellent job very friendly and trustworthy come home to a clean job each day and completed in agreed time ,my neighbours are now having work done by him
paul smalling - 30/05/2013
This man is a con-artist
This person is a thief and a con-artist. He does a shoddy job and will steal your money and not complete the work. I am owed over a thousand pounds by him (I stupidly sub-contracted to him - I even had a signed contract with him) He even says he will pay and will even shake your hand on it. Never ever get him to do any work for you because he will not complete it and will never be accountable for anything. He is a very slippery character. He makes sure that the debts cannot be tracked to him. If he asks you to pay a cheque in his mother's name then don't do it. He cannot be trusted and should be behind bars. He has been doing this for years. You have been warned! I had to rate this business as one star because it will not let you leave a review otherwise. If I could rate this as a zero then I would have.

He Is a Thief
A conman.He lies and steals money.Do not employ this man. He is a thief
Martin Duffield - 02/02/2013
Be Careful
This man is a thief and took a large deposit and did nothing for months. He will soon be uncontactable and trades under loft and Garge conversions ltd. Do not trust him and report him to the police if you do see meet him. He has thousands of pounds of money that people are trying to get back.
Building Nightmares - 18/07/2012
do not use
This man is a disgrace-as other review said-takes deposits tells lies and disappears.BE WARNED
dudley cloake - 19/06/2012
DO NOT USE. Takes large deposits and hefty staged payments and then vanishes leaving the job incomplete. Mention his name to other builders quoting or builder's merchants in the Ashford area for more detailed information.
