- FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Steak was very tender and moist, but didn't have a lot of flavor or seasoning.I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Best Service EvertoyacDined on 9/13/2014Jamal and Jason was great , they made us laugh couldn't asked for more. KEEP THEMSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- restaurant locationPerfectDined on 9/13/2014The fact that Ruth Chris Steak house is inside an Embassy Hotel makes it very strange; this is a fantastic fancy Restaurant and the Embassy is not really that amazing so they really don't go together.
- speechVIPDined on 9/13/2014For being in a hotel (embassy suites), I think the food was a little expensive--it was fine, but no competition with Hal's or Bones. The service was good, the waitress was attentive. It was a little loud in the hotel (football game).Special Features:
- VMVAtlantaVIPDined on 9/6/2014This was our first time dining at Ruth's Chris Steak House, and it did not disappoint. The food was perfectly prepared, attractively plated and flavorful. In particular we would recommend the Filet, Lyonnaise Potatoes, the Steak Burger and the Calamari. The perfect ending to a perfect meal was the Apple Tart. The decor is attractive and has a relaxing feel. The music added another layer of enjoyment. And, last, but not least, the excellence in customer service made for a perfect dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JimJSmithDined on 8/31/2014Awkward location in a hotel for a seemingly top restaurant. Very difficult to park. Mostly hotel guests, no apparent dress code. Steaks were not cooked to specific order. Well done request was still pink, medium rare was barely pink. Ordinarily this is a good chain but this location left a lot to be desired.Special Features:
- cluttered tableOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014The waiter did not clear our table in a timely manner nor was he very attentive.Special Features:
- Great Food, Okay LocationKGambleDined on 8/23/2014My husband, myself and another couple had dinner here on Saturday, 8.22.14. Our server, Linda (?) was very knowledgeable and offered useful suggestions about the menu. The food was great, we ordered the Cowboy, Ribeye, Salmon and Shrimp & Grits with a assortment of sides. All plates were practically cleaned! My only complaint, although minor, is that we were seated in an area that was open to the hotel lobby (this location is inside an Embassy Suites). There were lots of children and families in the lobby area and the partition did little to diffuse the noise. At one point, there was a group of kids shouting from a balcony almost overlooking our table. It was a minor distraction but something to be aware of when choosing this location.Special Features:
- Lack of ProfessionalismCheeVIPDined on 8/23/2014- We almost got wrong appetizers - Long wait on taking order - Cool dinner roll - Server who handle the 500F hot plate was not well trained. The hand tower to protect the 500F plate touch the food numerous time. - Long wait for dessert order - Tablet was not cleaned or small crumbles were never picked up after taking the main dish plates away. - Long wait for check - Got the wrong check - Long wait for ringing up the check - Long wait for to-go box I would not complain if it is local neighborhood restaurant. I do expect 5 stars service from the big brand - Ruth's Chris.Special Features:
- Great food, great service!TisdalesDined on 8/22/2014The food is untouchable.. Best steak you will eat! Ask for Frank.. He's the best & always gives excellent service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/17/2014Everything was great! Service spec! Food was good. Just needed salt!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- experienceDined on 8/16/2014Wonderful. Celebrated 15 year anniversary. Wife and i will be returning very soon! BEST STEAKS in town.Special Features:
- Very Good OverallOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/31/2014...one thing to mention outside of the food and service being very good, overall, wait staff should be more understanding of customer preference on food preparation. The waitress, after being asked to have a filet prepared med-well +, was offended when one of our party kindly asked her to have the steak delivered "cooked just a bit more". The steak was bleeding inside. We are a great bunch to have for any occasion, never a complaint. We do ask for the food to be prepared as requested without question and with a smile. Disappointed only in the response the waitress gave when a simple request was given for food we were paying good money for. She was quite obviously annoyed. Thank you.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/19/2014I did not appreciate this dinning experience at all. I made a reservation and had to wait 15 mins at the hostess stand. Service level was not consistent compared to other Ruth's Chris steakhouses. I'll take my $150 tab elsewhere.Special Features:
- Great for travelersrle13Dined on 7/18/2014As someone not familiar with the area, this was a no brainer. While staying at the hotel next door, my family and I were looking for convenience after a long day of touring Atlanta. Having eaten at other Ruth's Chris locations, I knew the food would be fantastic. We all had the filet, and they were cooked perfectly. The au gratin potatoes were amazing. The service was also good, just be prepared to allow at least an hour and a half for dinner. We finished the meal with chocolate mousse cheesecake and coffee brewed in a french press. I am already planning a return trip, and the Ruth's Chris in Buckhead will definitely be on the agenda.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!Luv2eatDined on 7/18/2014I always enjoy coming to Ruth Chris. Nice private setting and great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quite Romantic DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/12/2014Reserved table for 2 on Saturday evening (7:00p), where we were promptly seated for our anniversary dinner. Dinner was prompt. We ordered an appetizer of calamari (good but not that crunchy), salad/soup (mediocre), ribeye steaks, which were cooked to perfection, and a shared dessert. The server, Jason, was point with suggestions and had dessert pre-planned for our special date. Steaks were cooked well the first time, which is a plus in our book. Ambiance is quiet but far from a hot spot, as you are in the lobby of the Embassy Suites hotel. Overall good experience with memorable food.Special Features:
- Great outingTrueFoodieVIPDined on 7/9/2014Very nice restaurant. Always consistent. The service is top notch and they always make you feel like an important guest.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the waitJWG2Dined on 6/29/2014Everything was good. Service, food and experience. A little slow, but worth the wait. Other than that and the air could have been a little cooler, it was perfect for a couples night without the kids. Guys: MOMMA WAS HAPPY!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodFloridaBulldogDined on 6/28/20142 steaks ordered; 1 medium well was very red and not as described on the menu; this has to be returned for further cooking; the other steak was ordered medium rare and it was cold at the center. This too has to be returned for additional cooling. Needless to say, the microwave did nothing but toughen the steaks. I have eaten at other Ruths Chris establishments and never had a problem.Special Features:
- Not impressed at all!NeveragainDined on 6/20/2014I expected so much more as i have never been before. All i can say is unimpressive!!
- David's Graduation CelebrationKitKatVIPDined on 6/16/2014It was perfect for my son's graduation celebration. It was only three of us, but Frank (as always), made it very special. The food was prepared perfectly, the cost is reasonable for the quality, in quite a non-stuffy atmosphere! We will continue to consider this our "special occasion family spot". We have fond memories of many family celebrations there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steak great, sides okaybdaydinnerDined on 6/12/2014We had a nice birthday celebration. Three in the party and all three thoroughly enjoyed their steaks, we all ordered filet. We ordered a side of garlic mashed potatoes and a side of creamed spinach to share. Two of us ordered salads. The salad Caesar salad was very good, the lettuce wedge was okay. The sides were both just okay. The mashed potatoes were a little too runny and the creamed spinach was nothing special, a little on the bland side. Crème brulee was awesome. Our waiter was outstanding and gave us great attention. We had a gift card that had been given to us. Not sure we would go on our own dime, can get a great steak and better sides at some other restaurants we've tried. And, probably cost less.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good as AlwaysmgsmnDined on 6/5/2014Another good Ruth Chris location. Same consistant service and food quality one would expect from the chain.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DisappointsluvgoodfoodDined on 5/27/2014Ruth's Chris may be pricey, but the food is worth it! The steaks are always absolute perfection, and you can order anything on the menu and it will be delicious. We will continue to spend special occasions there for a guaranteed good meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FrankDined on 5/26/2014Really good food and great service. Side dishes were hot and ample. Main meals were cooked perfectlySpecial Features:
- ExcellentgadaveDined on 5/25/2014The evening was very enjoyable. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was great. I highly recommend this restaurant. This is one gem in Atlanta that I will find again on my next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 348 reviews are from the Ruth's Chris Steak House - Buckhead reviews archive.
- Great steak and potato.JonahDined on 5/15/2014I know I will get a great steak and potato. Sides dish are tasty and can be shared with others. I love the coffee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent serviceNenecruz77Dined on 5/13/2014Thoroughly enjoyed that our server greeted us by party name. Also, the service was excellent in the sense that we were served by several and not needing to wait on our assigned server for service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing steakHoneyCrystalDVIPDined on 5/11/2014The steak was so juicy and the crem brule was to die for. Great special occasion spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steak lovers dreammudboneDined on 5/10/2014If you love a good steak then this place is for you. I am not a big steak fan however the way their steak is prepared left me wanting more. The steak melted in my mouth with every bite. I can truly say that I have never experience anything like that before. Most of the times steaks are either too pink or too dry. The stake I had was OUTSTANDING! Con - the side dishes need a lot of help, all of them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Avoid this restaurant!chailey99Dined on 5/10/2014First of all, parking is a disaster. And it pretty much meets the criteria of a low-rate hotel restaurant from start to finish, except at higher end price points. This is by no means fine dining-we were seated in the atrium next to a door that patrons exit to use the nearest restroom! Our server fumbled throughout the entire meal, saying rehearsed lines but constantly absent when we wanted to place a drink order, wine order, never checked on us after our food arrived and we waited forever for the check. The food was passable at best. Yes the steak was steaming hot but guess what....our spinach and potatoes were lukewarm at best. Having expected a fine steak house experience, I was completely speechless at the end. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!
- A night to RememberMissmakaylaDined on 5/3/2014We dined here on our prom night with a group of 10. They made us feel welcome. I have a peanut allergy and the server and chef was very aware and worked with me. The food was delicious. I ordered the three course feast which included a soup or salad, an entree, side, and desert. My Caesar salad was amazing. The steak was juicy. The portions were a good size. My boyfriend and I will surely dine here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointedLuv2dineDined on 5/2/2014The food and service were amazing as always! We will return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad first experienceTay01Dined on 4/26/2014I ordered a rib eye (medium) it came out raw I sent it back 3 time because each time it was bleeding. The manager came over and kept apologizing but that did no good so the last time they bought it out once it was medium it tasted like burned charcoal. I gave up. But the sweet potato casserole is to die for.Special Features:
- Not very happyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/20/2014Long wait for waitstaff to come to table after seated, long wait for refreshments, long wait for food, steak overcooked and had to be returned, many, many crying children in restaurant. Usually food is worth price but not in the case of spending alot of money on food and having to yell over the children in the restaurant, while we didn't dawdle, we were in the restaurant for 2.5 hours. First bad experience at restaurant but it will be rememberedSpecial Features:
- excellentThomasDined on 4/19/2014This was my first time eating here and I loved it. The food was amazing, me and my husband dine here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Great service from the time we walked into the resturant, until the time we left. Also the managers came over to welcome us and check to make sure everything was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor servicesFoodLoverDined on 4/18/2014This was not what I remembered. I went to the one in Mareitta last year, food was great and the most important thing is the service was awesome. So, I decided to take my bf to the one in Buckhead for his birthday couple days ago. I was so disappointed and sure won't go back there again. The services we received were a cold face from the manager and our server disappeared on us most of the time.
- Overpriced but GoodPistolShrimpTardigradeDined on 4/13/2014The food is hideously overpriced but pretty good. Odd, too, that there was a sign at the reception desk saying "Proper Attire Required" but the family of four next to us were in shorts and t-shirts. (I'd hate to see what ranks as improper attire.) Bottom line, I can't see going again or recommending the place due to the prices. On the upside, the service was good, and they provided a little free dessert because we were celebrating our anniversary.
- Sizzling steaks!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 4/11/2014Awesome food!!! Ok atmosphere in hotel lobby...making overall very good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Work Smart not Hard*
No two people study the same way and there is little doubt that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. No one would argue that every subject that you have to take is going to be so interesting that studying it is not work but pleasure. We can only wish.
Everyone is different and for some students, studying and being motivated to learn comes naturally. If you are reading this page, it's likely that you are not one of them, but don't despair, there is hope! So read on, think about what you read and prepare to become a successful student!
Study Strategies
Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review
Key word in question dictates answer
Identify examiner's expectation
Read directions – don't panic
Select the best environment for you
Time Management
Set your daily schedule
Take control of your time
What to do - when
SQ3R stands for survey, question, read, recite and review. This is one of the study strategies that's been around for awhile and is pretty much accepted as a useful way to approach the large amount of information that you need to process.
Once you've finished the entire chapter using the preceding steps, go back over all the questions from all the headings. See if you can still answer them. If not, look back and refresh your memory, then continue. Students waste so much time reading without thinking, with the end result that they don't learn anything. SQ3R will train your mind to learn.
Find the ONE WORD in a test question that you have to know the EXACT meaning of. This word is often called a key word.
If you go through all your past examination papers, you'll be able to find these key words in each question. You probably haven't noticed them much before because you didn't know how important they were and nobody pointed them out to you.
These key words are extremely important because they let you open the door to the way the answer is supposed to be given. Below you'll see what I mean when I talk about key words. I've even given you the meanings of some of these words and it's important that you become familiar with as many of these as possible.
The following are some of the most commonly used key words:
Compare - to examine in order to note the differences and similarities
Contrast - to set in opposition and show differences when compared
Criticize - to judge the merits and faults; analyze and evaluate; to find faults
Define - to state the precise meaning; to describe the basic qualities
Describe - to tell about in detail; picture verbally
Discuss - to investigate by argument giving reasons for and against
Evaluate - to ascertain or judge the value or worth of something
Explain - to make plain or comprehensible; to offer reasons for; account for
Illustrate - to clarify by use of example or comparison; to provide a text with explanatory or decorative pictures, photos or diagrams
Interpret - to clarify or elucidate; to expound the significance of; to translate; to offer an explanation; your own judgement may be required
Justify - to show adequate grounds for decisions; to demonstrate to be just, right or valid; to show to be well founded
Outline - to give a general description, plan or summary; to give the main points of; to summarize
Relate - to show how things are connected to each other and to show to what extent they are alike or affect each other
Review - to write or give a critical report on; to examine with an eye to criticism or correction
State - to present in brief, clear form
Summarize - to present in condensed form; concise
Trace - to ascertain the successive stages in the development of; to locate or discover a cause
Can you see that if you didn't know the exact meaning of one of these key words in an test question that your answer could be totally wrong? So make sure you understand these words and even practice interpreting them by putting together your own practice questions and trying to answer them.

Pinpoint what the examiner wants - it helps to keep in mind what the examiner is looking for, or expects in your answers.
How should you approach the exam paper?
You're now sitting in the exam room and the examiner tells you to open your paper... what do you do next?
Test Taking Tip: For essay examinations, try the "memory dump" technique. If permitted, write down everything you've memorized - facts, names, dates, ideas, events and so on BEFORE you do anything else. Sometimes reading through the essay questions can distract you from what you've studied. The "memory dump" technique requires that you write down everything possible BEFORE you begin writing essay answers. This way, you are less likely to forget something important.

If you want to be successful as a student, you need to be aware of time management and how to budget your time according to priorities. Every student has to live on 168 hours each week... no more, no less. This has to be one of the most important study skills you need to know.
Obviously there are a lot of things which take up our time which have nothing to do with studying. So the first step in effective time management is to decide how important school and college is in your life.
The importance of this will determine how much of those 168 hours you're going to make available for this part of your life. If sport or socializing is more important then you'll have less time available for studying!
So... focus on the future and the reason why you're studying in the first place and this might convince you to allocate more time to study.
A good way to work this out is to make a list of all the things you do in a week and how much time you spend on each activity.
As an example of the first day...
Do this for every day for a whole week.

Application Tips
Willamette Sponsored Programs Study Abroad Application
Writing the Personal Statement
The facts:
Statement question: Why do I want to study abroad?
Two pages, double spaced (about 500 words). Save paper! We encourage you to print your Statement on both sides of a single sheet of paper.
Put your name at the top right-hand corner of each page for easy identification.
The rest:
Writing this personal statement can be challenging because the question is wide open! Students usually find it difficult to write everything in just two pages. Use the points below to generate ideas about the essay.
It is likely that you will write more than two pages as a first draft. If you do, work on making it more concise so it meets the length parameter.
1. Off Campus Studies Committee (OCSC) Selection Criteria
Understand who is on the OCSC (this is your audience) and read the Selection Criteria.
Think about whether you have the characteristics listed on the Selection Criteria. How do you show them? Past experiences? Language training? Involvement? Academic pursuits outside class?
The other parts of your application (transcript, letters of recommendation) will speak to these criteria, but the statement can help augment any areas you feel are particularly strong.
2. Academic Fit
How does studying abroad fit into your academic plans? What about career or post graduation plans?
How do the specific programs you are considering fit with your education?
3. Other motivations?
Besides specifics related to your major field(s) of study, what other motivations drive you to study abroad? Skills in intercultural communication? Language acquisition? Service work?
4. Keep asking yourself, "Why?"
For all the points above ask yourself why? and so what? Why do you want to improve your language ability? So what if you want to see works of art in person? Why is immersing yourself in a culture important? So what if you take classes in another style of teaching or academic environment? Why have you always wanted to study abroad?
Continually asking yourself why will assist in articulating your specific reasons for wanting to study abroad.
HAVE SOMEONE ELSE (Writing Center, a trusted friend, a professor) PROOFREAD YOUR STATEMENT FOR CONTENT AND GRAMMATICAL SOUNDNESS before submitting it. THIS MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

Chip Flowers promises to make travel documents public next week... were those the same documents that got lost?
Are you following the incredible zig zags in the Chip Flowers story?
Delaware's State Treasurer has generated more column inches in The NEWS JOURNAL and more airtime on local radio than any other state Treasurer in memory. If the coverage were mostly positive, that would be an incredible thing for a state Treasurer seeking name recognnition.
The twists and the turns in this story are breathtaking. In just the past few days, Treasurer Flowers indicated financial records from his office were missing, or, at the very least, were awry. Perhaps because of the intensely negative fallout, Flowers then declared on his Facebook page that he would release travel documents next week related to his Alaska trip. Hmmm. Did Flowers suddenly find the previously missing documents? Or is he just hobbling together SOMETHING so he can proclaim his transparency to the media even as the released documents fail to answer all the relevant questions.
I actually think the insinuations that Flowers had a personal relationship with his former deputy, Erika Benner, are a side show. The real story is Flowers casting aspersions on nearly everyone else when he, at one point, concedes that documents from only ten months ago somehow evaporated. And frankly how a smart guy loaded with ambitions for higher office could've made such a mess of things.
Sure, the knives are out for Flowers from the Delaware political establishment, which has little patience or tolerance for his grandiose ideas for broadening the parameters of his office and putting state funds at additional risk in the expectation of a greater return. But many of Flowers' wounds appear to be self-inflicted.
Too bad Delaware Attorney-General Beau Biden can't - or won't - launch an investigation into a fellow Democrat.
Delaware Republican leaders have (belatedly) pounced on Flowers, saying he needs outside help. Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson (R-Milford) and Minority Whip Greg Lavelle (R-Sharpley) says it's time for Flowers to get his office in order.
Flowers seems to have enough free time on his hands to immediately react to things heard on WDEL. (Although I freely admit one can multitask; listen to the radio while doing other things, at least to SOME extent.) When I was interviewing longtime Delaware political observer (and Delaware State Chamber of Commerce Veep) Rich Heffron about political reactions to Flowers' situation - that most Delaware politicos have regarded him as a "loose cannon from the beginning" - Flowers immediately called my producer, Al Mascitti, asking to go on-the-air. Unfortunately, my airtime is very limited - compared to a talk-show - and I now have an even more rigid formatic skeleton because the "Delaware News at Noon" airs on both 1150 A.M.-WDEL and Delaware 105.9 (WXDE), consequently with hard break times.
I've interviewed Flowers in the past, but frankly, the issues are so complex, and Flowers is so adept at spinning, I think it's better to interview Flowers on a talk-show, as Al Mascitti did last week.
The DELAWARE LIBERAL blog has been having a field day with the Flowers story. No matter that most of Delaware Liberal's columnists (and commenters) are D's. (And some from the right might think political correctness might reign supreme at Delaware Liberal, considering Flowers is Delaware's first elected African-American statewide official. Not exactly.)

Sure the Delaware Libs and DEMS are saying he lied now, just like Tom Gordon, back a few years ago. Look who's again our County Exec., Tom Gordon. So come the next election, the DEMS, who are the majority in the state, will overlook his "sins" and re-elect him.
So essentially, they've "spanked" him and said don't ever do this again, but don't worry, we've got your back in the next election. We'd rather have a naughty DEM in power than a Republican.
To be fair, the GOP does this too, both sides do it, which is in part what makes politics so dirty. However, in Delaware the DEMS seem to do it far more as the DEMS do control the state making it pretty difficult to unseat a DEM who "screws up" in Delaware.

Just remember, Mike from Delaware...
Most of the folks at Delaware Liberal are Gordon haters!
Support for Gordon comes from blue-collar and city Dems, even some cross-over, small "R" Republicans, not the liberal intelligentsia.
Gordon forged a coalition with African-American politicians (Williams, Potter) and ran very strongly in the city.
Some suburban Democrats & Republican were prepared to forgive him for his "sins" because they perceived him as a strong administrator, and particularly, because of his anti-rampant-development credentials. Plus the anti-Gordon forces could not rally around a single candidate.

It's a non-story as you have stated, Allan, the A.G. will do nothing against another elected official. Christ Tigani is in jail but his most complicit sidekicks (RAM, Nathan Hayward, etc) are still walking around free. I can't think of any Delaware politician, besides Kermit Justice, being held accountable. Why should they? They know how easy it is to feign ignorance while someone else does time (Tigani, Zimmerman, etc)
Allan Loudell
Wed, Nov 6, 2013 9:39am
For the record, Kermit Justice served in two Republican gubernatorial administrations (DuPont & Castle), and his wife Rita was the Republican New Castle County Executive, so I always assumed he was a Republican.
Allan Loudell
Wed, Nov 6, 2013 9:48am
And when Justice was indicted Charles Oberly was A.G.

I'm surprised the real show, as put by Allan, has been kept out of the spotlight so long.
The real show: Five Delaware banks control the state's investment fund. They take state money, make 20% on it, then pay the state 2% or 3% a return...
Chip tried to break that "old boy" network and allow the state to get a higher rate of return. Naturally many Delaware banks, shut-out by the old guidelines, were willing to jump in.
You may remember this controversy last spring when Patty Blevins, at the behest of the big 5, tried to pass a law banning the state treasurer from ever interfering with the golden cow these big banks have. Enough legislative opposition rose up challenging her power, so under the guise of a contorted conversation between all parties, the bill was dropped on the last day of session.
That is why there are legs to this story. Personally I believe there is a romantic relationship involved; I think his public denial was a mistake. I have no personal knowledge, just am basing it upon the public picture of his assistant released from Alaska. If Chip didn't have romantic intentions, he is gay. Pure and simple.
Nothing wrong with that.
As for the records, it struck close to home. One of my projects has been to organize my own company's records, which have been in disarray ever since we have gone over to electronics.
We have become so electronically addicted, that all our paperwork simply goes in boxes, which get dated, and then some outside organization picks them up every 4---6 months and we never look at them again. If someone were to challenge me, show me your signature, I would be as hard-pressed as Mr. Flowers to round it up....
It would be daunting just to figure out where to begin....
Wed, Nov 6, 2013 11:34am
There is something about the office of State Treasurer in Delaware. Before her sojourn as New Castle County Executive, Republican Rita Justice had held that office. Turns out she lied about nearly everything, including the color of her eyes and hair on her driver�s license. After her, we had Republican Janet Rzewnicki. That is when the General Assembly stepped in and deleted many of the official duties the office was responsible to carry out. Ms. R, like Ms. Justice, was not known for her brilliance. She generated many headlines for the trouble she caused the Republicans.
Chip Flowers fits the mold for the office. Exaggerate the job. Tell voters the Earth orbits around yourself, not the sun. Meanwhile, fail to pay attention to details. I do not expect the officeholder to also be a file clerk. But if you are such a hotshot Treasurer, you should at least have a staff that knows what documents to save in a safe place. Oh, and misplace travel documents at a time when auditors are focusing on that documentation. Travel expenses are receiving much attention from both federal and state auditors right now.
Flowers is going to face hard times from fellow Democrats as well as Republicans. He is not simply eying re-election. He is eying the Governor�s office. He knows that Tom Carper and Jack Markell both started there. Even Janet Rzewnicki used that office as a launching pad for her run against then-Governor Tom Carper. Every lost document, every so-called wasted dollar, every rumored affair, will come back to haunt him. And like Ms. R and Ms. Justice before him, he really does not seem to be bright enough to watch his back.
But he does not appear to have done anything for which he should be removed from office. The last time a Delaware governor removed an officeholder was while Democrat Sherman Tribbitt held the office. He removed NCCo Executive Mel Slawik, the Democrat elected in 1972.

"The real show: Five Delaware banks control the state's investment fund. They take state money, make 20% on it, then pay the state 2% or 3% a return... " Uh, kavips do you know how the monies are invested, and how they are structured? It's all in corporate and government debt. Ergo, low returns based on risk projections. I would tell you exactly how the portfolio is managed, but that isn't available on the Treasurer's website. It says coming soon, and has been coming soon for many months.
Wed, Nov 6, 2013 7:46pm
Somewhere there is a directive that specifies all that. I'll have to go back to last June and look it up. I was in there and remember it...and should have a link.
What you are forgetting is that a bank's money all goes into one pot and that gets invested accordingly. There is no reason a bank cannot speculate on money they should have in safe investments, then put those investments there when payoff comes. How do you think banks make money off your CD's?
Wed, Nov 6, 2013 8:47pm
I've always considered Chip Flowers the political equivalent to Rodney King.
Thu, Nov 7, 2013 2:18am
Chip Flowers needs one of these...
Mike from Delaware
Thu, Nov 7, 2013 8:06am
Allan: Good points made above. The other thing I've heard some folks say why they voted for Gordon is he didn't raise county taxes during his terms in office. So that, for some, also made looking the other way from his "sins" a bit easier too.
Thu, Nov 7, 2013 9:49am
CD rate of return and underlying institutional investments have no correlation.
And a bank can increase a return beyond what an institution's portfolio is yielding. Derivatives, MBOs, etc., are held in a bank's instutional portfolio but not in the states. It's called comingling, and it's illegal.
Thu, Nov 7, 2013 5:40pm
Arthur, you missed my point. You give a bank $100,000 as a CD and it invests that money at 20% and pays you 2%. There is a correlation.
A state gives a bank $1 billion dollars and the bank does the same.
The problem with Flowers is that the bank would not be getting that $1 billion dollars. Some other bank would.
And whereas comingling is illegal, so is driving over the speed limit. On both, it is very common practice and very hard to find someone who will not do it, unless one happens to be in the presence of a policeman or a regulator.
Thu, Nov 7, 2013 10:05pm
I lost track. Is Friday (today/tomorrow) the day Chip is turning over his Alaskan financial records?
Just remembered and chuckled so decided to mark it here, that earlier today on the Rick Jensen show, a caller called up not in Rick's camp on the issue of Obamacare and said his piece and then told Rick he was going to hang up and would listen on the air, and Rick says...Wait one second there; Aren't you going to let me get my side in on the conversation!!!!! And the other guy on the phone drops his voice low and says... i'm at work. I'll get fired. i got to go right now..."
I'm still chuckling.... But isn't it great that someone thought it so important to make a statement they thought was not getting carried, that they took such a huge risk to do so?
Sometimes even talk show hosts have got to be proud of what they do..... :)

For more than a decade, Rollins College has been raising the profile of internationalization in its unprecedented effort to educate students for global citizenship and responsible leadership. These efforts consistently receive national accolades including recognition as a leading institution for the internationalization of its faculty in The Chronicle of Higher Education. And, according to the Institute of International Education, Rollins ranks among the top 10 colleges and universities for its study-abroad program.
| 2010 PII Trip tp Bali
In 2005, Rollins embarked on an unparalleled effort to internationalize its faculty — an effort that President Lewis M. Duncan believes is core to providing a global education for students. Professors at Rollins are given opportunities to travel all over the world to experience other cultures. Now in its sixth year, the President's Internationalization Initiative (PII) strives to enable every faculty member to have an international experience at least once every three years.
"To truly provide a global education for students, you must first internationalize the faculty," said President Duncan. "Rollins is boldly at the forefront of bringing the outside world into the classroom. This helps answer the question that students always ask … 'How am I going to use this in the real world?'"
Nearly 75 percent of eligible faculty and teaching staff have used the grants to conduct individual research projects or to travel internationally with faculty-led groups to destinations that take participants out of their "comfort zone." Destinations have included Africa, Asia and South America, and Antarctica. In 2010, faculty used the grants to travel to the Peruvian Amazon, Iceland, Nepal, and China.
Many faculty report "transformative" effects on their research and their lives. Those lessons in the world's classroom are brought home in many ways when professors across different disciplines collaborate together on projects or new courses to "connect the dots" for students, showing, for example, how physicists, artists and musicians can work together to solve problems. Or through the many and varied community service projects benefiting residents in communities around the world or in our very own Central Florida neighborhoods.
"You can't understand yourself as an American unless you look at America from the perspective of another culture," said Rollins' McKean Professor of Philosophy Hoyt Edge, who has led field studies to Indonesia and Australia. "You don't know yourself until you have that mirror and begin to understand your own assumptions and your own context in the world. It gives you a perspective you can't get any other way."
| Bali, Indonesia
In May 2010, Edge led a group of 18 Rollins faculty, staff and emerita representing 11 disciplines on a three-week PII sponsored trip to Bali, Indonesia. The trip came about from Edge's experiences traveling to Bali for more than 25 years to study various aspects of the culture—from trance to traditional healing to concepts of self—which have deepened his understanding of cross-cultural differences.
Unlike ordinary travel experiences, the PII program challenges participants to develop deeper intellectual insights into the historical, cultural, religious, economic and political systems of the global locations they explore. These encounters—and the interdisciplinary exchanges that take place among colleagues—provide faculty and staff with experiences and opportunities to enhance their teaching and international perspectives, as well as develop new scholarly interests and research.
From his experiences, and in an effort to enhance the international and interdisciplinary perspectives of his colleagues, Edge worked to coordinate the PII trip for the time of year in the Balinese calendar when significant cultural and religious trance possession ceremonies take place. In addition to participating in the religious and sometimes astonishing trance possession ceremonies, the group had other unique opportunities to gain important understandings of the Balinese culture. One participant's most insightful experience was the sense of familial tradition and symbolism she encountered.
"Balinese spend significant time together each day and all pieces of their lives are spiritually connected to family," said Director of the Office of Community Engagement Micki Meyer. "The ideal of the 'collective versus the individual' was a powerful experience for me because as a Westerner, our emphasis is on the individual and not the collective." Read more about the Bali trip here.
In 2009, faculty participated in a 15-day trip to China designed to help faculty members have a cross-disciplinary discourse on China, a rapidly rising power in the 21st century. Structured to enhance participants' teaching, scholarship and international perspectives, the group visited Shanghai, Urumuqi, Turpan, Jiayu Fort, Xi'an and Beijing.
"Faculty are required under the program to submit a report about their experiences, which tells me a lot about what the trip has meant to them both personally and academically," said Associate Provost for Internationalization Barry Allen who oversees the grant process. "Farther down the road, I hear about how these experiences enrich learning for the students by giving the faculty a much broader experience from which to teach."
| Rollins in Shanghai Students
With approximately 73 percent of Arts & Science students having an international experience before graduation, Rollins ranks among the top 10 colleges and universities in its category, according to the Institute of International Education.
"During the last academic year, Rollins sent a total of 347 students abroad, an 11 percent increase over the year before," said Director of International Programs Giselda Beaudin. "In the 2010-11 academic year, we have sent or are sending 189 students abroad, and we're offering a record number of spring break and summer programs."
Nearly 250 Rollins students — the largest group ever in the College's history — "spanned the globe" throughout summer and fall 2010. The students traveled to 15 countries including Australia, Nepal, Scotland and Spain. 2010 field-study opportunities included trips to Costa Rica, China, Mexico, and rural Guatemala.
Professor of International Business and Political Science Thomas D. Lairson is the architect of the annual Rollins in Shanghai program, now in its third year. The program is among Rollins' signature international programs, providing students with an opportunity to learn both in and out of class about China's diverse cultural and physical climate. "No study of China would be complete without the opportunity to spend extensive amounts of time living there and immersing in its culture," said Lairson.
The Rollins in Shanghai program was designed for Rollins students interested in Asian Studies. The program, however, has also gained popularity with other students in many disciplines because it allows them to make optimum use of their time in the "Middle Kingdom" through special courses that include numerous field trips and excursions to places of historical and cultural interest.
The goal of the semester is to introduce students to all aspects of China and Chinese life from the urban centers to the rural countryside. In 2010, the program allowed 23 students to experience how the "open and reform" economic policies introduced 30 years ago have now fully entrenched China as a global economic superpower. Read more about the Rollins in Shanghai program here.
| A ride through Beijing
Along with the second annual Costa Rica First Year Field Experience, Rollins also launched a new program developed and led by Lecturer Li Wei which took seven students on an intensive 23-day Shanghai language immersion. The Shanghai trip was a beginner-level, five-credit Mandarin Chinese language course designed to catapult students beyond the 101 level and into 102 for fall 2010. In fact, Wei described this particular field experience as "transporting the entire 101 course to China."
Associate Provost for Internationalization Barry Allen led the Costa Rica trip and recalled fondly that he left with a dozen kids from around the country and came back with Rollins students. "This wasn't just a trip," Allen said of the First Year Field Experience. "Like all of our study abroad experiences, these are academic courses that provide unique bonding opportunities." After completing an intensely competitive application process, accepted students tackled a hefty load of assigned reading and submitted a summary essay prior to departure.
As far as Allen has discovered, an international abroad program for incoming freshman is something that's highly progressive in the academic community. "I've heard that some colleges run a semester-long abroad experience in the fall. But I know of only one other institution that is doing this on an international scale in the summer before the freshman year."
|Rollins in Ecuador
Beneath the obvious allure of a summer adventure combined with academic credit, the First Year Field Experience served one other critical function: it gave new students the chance to begin their new life in college with confidence and ease. Over the course of the 10 days students spent abroad together, they formed a close peer group that continued on into the new school year. "I still see the Costa Rica group hanging out together on campus," said Allen.
The experiences of students participating in abroad programs are shared through the College's new International R-Journalist program which chronicles the journeys of four abroad students through their blogs. In 2010, R-Journalists blogged from Spain, China, France and England.
Back on campus, The China Center at Rollins College is engaged in teaching, research and outreach programs that have contributed to Rollins' internationalization efforts in China and beyond. Founded in 2003, the China Center was established by a group of faculty members with an interest in promoting Chinese culture. Today, the China Center on campus is part of a select network of organizations that promote cross-cultural learning.
The years 2008-2010 saw an expansion of students going to China from the Crummer Graduate School of Business, Arts & Sciences, and the Holt School. Both long-term and short-term learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students were developed.
In 2008, Professor of International Business and China Center Executive Director Ilan Alon led a group of Crummer SMBAs to Hong Kong. During summer 2010, Professor of International Business Jim Johnson and Crummer Graduate School Mary Conway-Dato-on took two cohorts of EAMBAs to Shanghai, China as part of a GRASP (Global Research and Study Program) tour.
The trip was designed to provide aspiring young businessmen and women a firsthand education in time budgeting and personal organization, air travel and embracing a foreign culture while representing both Rollins and the United States of America. Johnson is preparing to take another group of MBAs as part of their Emerging Markets class in the spring of 2011. Over summer 2010, four students participated in the ECUST MBA program as part of an experimental exchange program. The students took courses in China with Professors Susan Bach and Marc Fetscherin.
| China Goes Global Conference
"We live in a global society and operate in a global economy," Alon said. "We cannot teach business—or any discipline—in isolation from the world in which we live. Asia is taking center stage in world globalization and China is a force to educate people about the changing landscape of the world."
The China Center has hosted scholars from Harvard University, University of Southern California, Copenhagen Business School, Renmin University, East China University for Science and Technology, and Zhejian University.
Alon and Assistant Professor Marc Fetscherin, in collaboration with Harvard University, The Georgia Institute of Technology and Jacobs University, organized the 4th China Goes Global Conference (a 3-day international conference) held October 6 – 8, 2010 at Harvard University. Over 100 participants from 20 countries attended, including 12 faculty and two MBA students from Rollins. During the conference, several papers were presented by Rollins faculty as well as a student with original research on the political, economic, cultural and social dimensions of the Chinese Government's "go global" policy. Read more about the China Goes Global Conference here.
In 2007, The China Center launched an inaugural international conference with more than 70 people attending, presenting and interacting about the role of China in the 21st century. In October 2009, Rollins hosted the American Association for Chinese Studies 51st Annual Conference, where more than 100 scholars from China and around the world came together to discuss a variety of topics including social change in China and China's rise and its implications.

About the IRB
Applied Research Ethics
Protecting human participants in research involves, first and foremost, adherence to the basic ethical principles for the conduct of research.Ā Everyone engaged in human subjects research is expected to read and understand the Belmont Report (click on the Professional Standards) and apply these principles to every aspect of their work.Ā The three core principles identified in the Belmont Report form the basis for the federal regulations protecting research participants and provides the framework for IRB protocol review.
- Respect for persons (autonomy)
- Beneficence
- Justice
All individuals working on a UAF IRB Protocol must have a demonstrated knowledge of human subject protections. To learn about human subject protections and to document that you have completed a formal educational program please enroll and complete the rerequired modules in the CITI Educational Program (click on the Training button).Ā The IRB requires that the Principal Investigator and, if the work will be included in a graduate degree, the graduate student whose project it is complete the training requirement for all exempt research projects.Ā The entire research team must successfully complete the required CITI training for projects requiring expedited orĀ full board review; final approval wiil not be issued until all training requirements have been completed.
Click HERE for a list of references and resources that are useful for stimulating discussion about the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects, participants or co-researchers.
Protocol Review
The UAF Institutional Review Board is an independent body comprised of scientists, non-scientists, and members who are not affiliated with the university in any way. This body reviews all UAF research projects involving human subjects by applying the three ethical principles mentioned above. This review process is quite different from peer review; therefore, to assist you in your application the IRB has developed a form that you must complete and submit (click on Forms and Instructions). Although this is different from a peer review process the IRB requires that you clearly state your research objectives and methodology because it is an integral component of evaluating risk versus benefit. If the research is funded by the U.S. Public Health Service it is required that a copy of the grant be included with the IRB Protocol application.
Understanding the Program
This web site provides the basic information and guidance for UAF faculty, staff and students conducting or planning to conduct human subjects research (a.k.a. research with human participants).Ā The first step the Office of Research Integrity takes when reviewing proposed work is to determine whether or not it constitutes "research" as defined in 45 CFR 46.102(d) and, if it is research, whether or not it involves "human subjects" as defined in 45 CFR 46.102(f).
Many activities that involve interaction with living human beings and considered to be "research" within a specific discipline do not constitute research with human subjects under 45 CFR 46.Ā This is not a judgement as to the validity and value of these activities!Ā It simply means that these activities are not subject to this particular set of Federal regulations; for example, interviews conducted for journalistic (web, print, radio or television) purposes are not subject to 45 CFR 46 despite the fact that they may be considered "research" for an article or feature.Ā Many program assessment activities, although similar in format to research, are also not subject to 45 CFR 46 if they are conducted solely to improve or evaluate an existing program and no identifiable personal information is being collected.Ā If you have specific questions whether the work proposed is "research" or "program assessment", quality assurance or quality improvement, review the guidance document.Ā Note:Ā At UAF only the Office of Research Integrity has the authority to determine whether or not an activity is human subject research.
If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions be sure to contact the staff in the Office of Research Integrity at 907-474-7800.
Winter/Spring IRB Meeting Dates:Ā
Generally the first Wednesday of each month
Location:Ā 210 WRRB
Time:Ā 9:00am to 10:00am
Submission Deadline:Ā Two weeks prior to each meeting date @ 5:00 P.M. (ADT)

It's time for all egos and politics to be set aside in Jackson County and make sure the public is protected from illegal drugs. For the past several weeks we have heard from the police chiefs of Pascagoula and Moss Point saying they are pulling out of the Jackson County Drug Task Force. Then we have Sheriff Mike Byrd saying residents will not be affected by this split.
This all stems from a prank or horseplay at a gathering of the task force where a gun was fired into the ground and one person was slightly injured.
Some Jackson County Supervisors say it makes sense to work together. And we agree with them.
In an age when there is a need to consolidate to save money, splitting up the task force doesn't make sense. Having separate narcotic units will not result in the communication needed between departments to win the war on drugs.
The sheriff says it was a personnel issue with those making a mistake disciplined. A grand jury will look into the issue.
But we hope the bigger problem of police agencies in Jackson County pulling apart can be rectified. If not, then you will see each agency vying for the same grants and money that could be combined to provide a much better, coordinated drug enforcement effort.
We hope in the coming weeks all sides can get together and find a way to bring back a united drug task force. Jackson County residents deserve nothing less.
That's our opinion, we would like to hear yours. Email your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com, or post your comments below.

We are two queer, vegan, recent art school graduates who spent a year in New Zealand working on organic farms. We're now back in North America figuring out what happens next. Follow our adventure here.
tattooedsass said: Where did you get travelers insurance from and how much did it end up costing? Would you recommend it for a 6 week trip? Also, we are considering kayaking the Milford Sound, would you recommend it? Thanks!
We purchased travelers insurance through World Nomads and paid 520 USD for 12 months. Insurance was required for our visa, (though they never checked on it when we arrived), but I would recommend insurance, just for the peace of mind. I think you can pay for exactly 6 weeks too.
Kayaking in the Milford Sound was amazing. We did the Stirling Sunriser with Rosco's Milford Kayaks. The price is a bit steep (175 USD), but the views are incredible, the tour consisted of just us, another couple and the guide so it was pretty personal, and we got to kayak under a 150m waterfall! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Happy traveling!

Jim Cramer's Top Dividend Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer believes that "there is always a bull market somewhere." Cramer, who is the host of CNBC's "Mad Money," helps investors to find this "bull market". Thousands of do-it-yourself investors get investment ideas by watching Cramer's TV show, where he shares his opinions on stocks and discusses the news of the day and its affect on the markets. Investors can also gain some insight from Cramer by taking a look at his charitable trust.
In this article, we are going to discuss the top dividend stock picks in Cramer's trust. We believe dividend stocks are much better investments for investors than long-term treasury bonds right now. The 10-year Treasury bond only yields 2% per year while the annual inflation rate is about 2-3%. This means that your real return will be below zero if you invest all your money in treasury bonds. We think that dividend stocks are a better choice.
Energy Transfer Partners LP (NYSE: ETP) is the highest dividend yielding stock in Cramer's charitable trust. The stock has a dividend yield of 7.82%. As of April 11, 2012, We discussed Energy Transfer Partners in our previous article about Cramer's dividend stocks. We like this stock then for its relatively low P/CF ratio and decent growth rate, and we still do.
Over the past few years, Energy Transfer Partners has been growing rapidly through both internal pipeline development and external acquisitions. Today, it owns the largest intrastate pipeline system in the United States. We think the stock is an appealing investment for the long term as it has a high yield and strong growth potential. Analysts expect the company's earnings to grow at about 14.5% per year over the next couple of years. Money Manager Jean-Marie Eveillard is also bullish about Energy Transfer Partners. His First Eagle Investment Management had about $5 million invested in this position at the end of the fourth quarter 2011.
Sanofi (NYSE: SNY) has the second highest dividend yield amongst the stocks in Cramer's trust, with its dividend yield of 4.85%. We like Sanofi. It has stable earnings growth and a relatively low payout ratio, which indicates that the company's high dividend yield is sustainable. It also has attractive valuation levels. The company is expected to make $3.91 per share this year and $4.07 per share next year, making its forward P/E ratio roughly 9.3, which is a significant discount to the industry average of 17.3. We discussed Sanofi in detail in a previous article. Overall, we think the stock is a good dividend play for long-term investors.
General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) also offers an attractive dividend yield. Its current dividend yield is about 3.63%. The company cut its dividend payouts in 2009 but it has been increasing its dividend over the recent two years. We expect General Electric will continue to raise its dividend in the future as it has relatively low payout ratio, low multiples, and robust earnings growth.
The company's current P/E ratio is around 15 and it pays out 50% of its earnings as dividends. Analysts expect its earnings to grow at about 12% annually over the next couple of years. The strong growth should enable the company to further increase its dividends. Moreover, even if General Electric fails to meet the growth expectation, it should still be able to maintain its dividends as its payout ratio is only 50%. General Electric is quite popular amongst the hedge funds we track. As of December 31, 2011, there were 40 hedge funds reporting to own General Electric in their 13F portfolios, including Bill Miller's Legg Mason Capital Management and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.
A few other dividend stocks in Cramer's trust are ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (NYSE: FCX), and Abbott Laboratories (ABT). Their dividend yields are around 3.5%. We like these stocks as well. So do many hedge funds. Freeport-McMoRan is the most popular copper stock among hedge funds. There were 41 hedge funds with this stock in their portfolios at the end of last year, including Cliff Asness' AQR Capital Management, Jeffrey Vinik's Vinik Asset Management, Israel Englander's Millennium Management, George Soros' Soros Fund Management, and Jim Simons' Renaissance Technologies. ConocoPhillips is also one of the most popular energy stocks among hedge funds (check out our article about ConocoPhillips) and Abbott is one of the most popular drug stocks.
You may have noticed that there aren't any traditional dividend stocks like utilities and tobacco stocks in this list. These stocks outperformed the market last year as the interest rates plummeted. We think healthcare, energy, and industrial stocks with high dividend yields are safer bets at this time.

Wilkins to captain Griquas
Griquas coach Pote Human has made two changes to his side for their Currie Cup clash with the Blue Bulls in Kimberley on Saturday.
The home side will look to consolidate after beating the Sharks in Kimberley last week, but they will be without two key players in Ryno Barnes and Luzuko Vulindlu.
In the first change, hooker Matt Dobson comes in for captain Barnes.
Barnes has been suspended for one week following a citing for the use of an elbow in the game against the Sharks and is unavailable this weekend.
"It is disappointing that Ryno got suspended, but we have to shrug that off and focus on the game against the Bulls," Human said on Wednesday.
"Both Matt and Simon are good players who get the chance to prove their worth."
The coach added that flanker Wesley Wilkins, who has been solid for Griquas since his return from a lengthy shoulder injury, would take over the captaincy this weekend.
"Wesley has impressed in every game thus far and has great leadership abilities, so we are looking to him to lead the side to victory," Human said.
"We know it is going to be tough. It was tough in the first round in Pretoria and nothing has changed since.
"The Bulls are at the bottom of the log and will want nothing less than a victory."
The only other change sees winger Jannie Boshoff replacing Vulindlu, who has been ruled out with concussion.
Griquas: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Jannie Boshoff, 13 Jean Stemmet, 12 Walter Venter, 11 Rocco Jansen, 10 Francois Brummer, 9 Marnus Hugo, 8 Leon Karemaker, 7 Wesley Wilkins (c), 6 Marnus Schoeman, 5 Martin Muller, 4 Rynhardt Landman, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Matt Dobson, 1 Steph Roberts.
Replacements: 16 Simon Westraadt, 17 Ivann Espag, 18 Frikkie Spies, 19 Justin Downey, 20 Jacques Coetzee, 21 Marnitz Boshoff, 22 Richard Lawson.

Topic - via ferrata in Southwest Germany vs. Stubai Austria
cliff4012 - on 04 Dec 2012
We plan to go in mid July to Germany - myself and my 2 daughters aged 28 & 33, who are fairly competent climbers but not so strong as to do E rated via-ferrata.
I see lots of via-ferrata in and around the Zugspitz area and wonder how that area might compare to the Stubai valley - south and maybe a bit east of Innsbruck in Austria.
It would be preferable to go to the more concentrated area of climbs to minimize travel time, thus climbing more. I do find myself a bit overwhelmed with the information I've found being in German (which I don't understand) and have a hard time sifting through all the source material I have found.
We have a delightful place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen we've stayed in and enjoy the area - but have not been at all to the valley below Innsbruck - only the Insbrucker via-ferrata.
Thank you for your help with anything related you may know of.

Sysadmin's daily grind
Step Counter
Charly takes the name of the "My Traceroute" tool very literally. The journey is the reward for this alternative TTL-measuring utility.
Been there, done that – there is no need for most network administrators to think twice about the command syntax for the traceroute command; the diagnostics tool is something you probably have a gut feeling for, and you can shake it out of your sleeve without too much human latency. On my permanent search for perfection – and because laziness is a virtue in network management – I finally stumbled across My Traceroute, or MTR for short. I immediately liked MTR: it is proud to have reached version number 0.79 after just 13 years of development – no need to rush things, after all.

Pro—it's a great way to achieve uncontrived elegance.
Straightening locks is "the coif equivalent of donning high heels, lip gloss and a little black dress," says Carney. "It brings instant polish and glamour. If you have an unruly texture, a straight look is a great option for achieving elegant, polished control that moves."
Pro & Con—Sleek texture and a strong fringe sharpen soft features.
"Taylor Swift is a pretty girl without any one particularly strong feature," says Carney. "The sharp lines of her hairstyle really sharpen her features and make them more dramatic." If your client has a long face, large nose or small chin, on the other hand, this graphic hairstyle might add unwanted emphasis.
Kevin Mazur/WireImage
Straightening coarse or fuzzy hair with a blow dryer or a flat iron, like the Joico K-PAK ReconstRx VaporIron, seals the strand surface, which in turn refracts light. Hair appears glossier, shinier and as a result, healthier. "Gleaming hair evokes a real 'wow' factor," says Damien, "so if hair is naturally unruly, smoothing it makes a significant impact."
Pro—Straight hair brings out beautiful color.
The twists and turns of fuzzy or curly hair can also diminish the vibrancy of hair color. Think mohair as opposed to satin. Because they reflect more light, smooth strands also enhance the hue.
Con—Straightening extremely skinny strands can make them to go flat.
If your client's hair is fine, says Carney, you're better off staying away from stick straight styles and coaxing out as much natural texture as possible. "Straightening fine hair will flatten what little body remains," he says.
Pro—It may take a bit longer to smooth curly strands, but the look lasts for days.
"Go slow when you're smoothing massively curly hair. Work with small sections of hair and blow the hair dry completely with a round or flat brush, directing the nozzle from top to tip to smooth the surface cuticle," says Carney. "Then go back over each section with a flatiron. If you carefully smooth each section, your client's style will last longer and they won't need to 'top it up' over the next few days."
