Austin >Food & Dining > Ranch 616
616 Nueces St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.270334 -97.748196
Mon-Thu 11am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-10pm
Fri-Sat 11am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-11pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown
The Ranch is a comfortable South Texas Ice House featuring South Texas cuisine from the Gulf Coast of Mexico to the Bordertowns of Texas and Mexico.
Eccentric, well-prepared plates reflect a chic Southwestern aura.
Great place for dinner with friends on a Friday night. The DJ is sick, and the food yummy. Do not pass on the Parmesan and truffle French fries.
Ecentric is the word! – I was refered here by a friend, my goodness what a treat. The lunch specials were not well priced for a downtowm lunch but I forgot all about it once I bit into the loose meat quesadillas and side of tobacco onion rings. This food has flavor!!! As does the atmosphere. 4 out of 5 stars for State Employee downtown lunch.
Atmosphere, Delicious!, Other + – I've gone here since the week it opened (11 years?). consistently delicious and outstanding dishes, the Service IS GREAT, my favorite, Lupita's Salad, Ranch Slice, Sopa, Divorced Dish, and key lime pie.
Great Downtown Spot – I had lunch here on a Tuesday after driving by it and seeing the big crowd on the patio. Seeing so many people on a Tuesday, I figured it had to be good. And it was!
It was busy, so we ate at the bar. I had the enchiladas, and they were very good. I was impressed with the variety of items on the menu-- from a chicken stew to quail to fish. They also had a lot of margaritas that I didn't get to enjoy, but others dining around me seemed to be loving them. I'll have to come back here for dinner soon and have a marg or two.
The ambiance is rather.. bizarre. But that's a good thing, especially in Austin. There are old pictures on the wall, next to stuffed deer, but there's still a sense of classiness. Everyone inside was in a upbeat mood-- that said, it was a bit loud. But all in all, I had a great time and will visit again.
Awesome food and staff – Ranch 616 has a wonderful eclectic staff that took great care of my husband and I. The food was excellent. Our waiter Josh was very attentive and the manager Miguel Vidal made sure our experience was beyond what we expected. And to the writer of the review below this one, if you are too scared to send back food don't expect to get your money back weeks later after the fact. How can you give the restaurant or management a chance to fix a problem if you don't say something at the time. Overall , the Ranch is a fun environment that also happens to have exquisite food and service. We will definitely be back on a regular basis.
Worst Food In Austin – This is the 4th letter that I sent to the management at Ranch 616. Still, four months later...no response. It's just sad to think that this restaurant and this manager, think so poorly of its customers. Dear Mr. Vidal: Let me begin by saying to you how disappointed I am with the fact that I have had to write four letters to try and get resolve of this issue. I sent two letters attention ?manager.? I went to your website and sent an email asking for a refund and now I am writing the fourth and final letter. I will follow up with the bad reviews that Ranch 616 has been getting on City Search. I have enclosed the reviews with one from yourself stating that you ?will ensure that you get a wonderful meal and dining experience.? Let me begin by complementing your waiter, whom I believe is named, Luis. He was extremely polite and very accommodating. My Wife and I recently moved to the Austin area from Los Angeles and have been searching out restaurants to try and one of our friends highly recommended Ranch 616. Well, needless to say, we were excited to try your restaurant and unfortunately had a very bad experience. We started out by ordering the fried clams and calamari appetizer, which were both barley fried and very soggy. We mentioned it to our waiter and he was very apologetic and ultimately took it off the bill. For our entrees, I ordered the special, which was Filet Mignon and Quail combo. I never realized that someone could mess Filet Mignon up. It was barley edible. The flavor was non-existent and it was wrapped in bacon that was raw. The Quail was average at best. I couldn?t eat either the filet or the Quail. My Wife ordered the Trout, which she could not eat because it was under cooked and cold. We felt so bad for telling our waiter that our appetizer was bad, that we couldn?t mention that the rest of our meal was not even edible.
Went with some locals who were all disappointed with the decline and fall of 616. It was hypothermic at our table and we asked if they could turn down the AC. It will warm up later when more people pack in, we were told. Thanks for the physics lesson. We asked about a particular special on the menu and the waiter said he?d wait till the rest of our party arrived; ?I don?t want to repeat the specials more than 20 times in a night.? Is there a Parisian waiters? union here? When the acclaimed quail dish arrived, it was raw. Not undercooked, but beet-red raw. Naturally, the manager never bothered to come over. Raunch 616.
Favorite Restaurant in Austin – These reviews are hilarious! "Bring a flashlight cause it's too dark!" or "I had to WAIT even though I have a large party and it's dinner time on a Friday night - WAH WAH" - go to Chile's or somewhere generic. More room for me at Ranch!
For those of you who want incredible food, awesome service and the best margaritas (or "Ranch waters"!) in town - This is the place to be. Order up some of their fantastic oysters or frog's legs, or try any of their seafood (the salmon!!) for a hard to forget experience. Their meats are amazing - their portions are Texas sized, as are the smiles on the faces of the happy customers leaving at the end of the night.
If you can save room for dessert - they have some of the best in town.
And reservations - they take reservations! That's almost unheard of in this town.
Boo to the naysayers! One try here and you'll be a customer for life!
Worst Service in Austin, Incompetent Management – I went there with a group of three friends. We were told the wait would be about an hour or so, which was fine so we ordered some drinks and waited outside. We slowly started to realize that the hostess was sitting people that arrived well after us first, even though they did not have a reservation. After an hour and a half of waiting, i talked to the hostess and she realized that she crossed our name off the list, or basically gave our table to somebody else. She didn't apologize or anything, just said that we would get the next table for four. We were cool, it happens. Then, and by this time we were one of only three groups waiting, she sat the two other groups BEFORE US AGAIN. I couldn't believe it happened, and prepared to leave, I asked for the manager and we were sat (the last group waiting). We sat down and waited 10 minutes and still no waiter came over to help us. We finally left, without ever getting served and after being there over three hours.
This city has too many other great restaurants to put up with the arrogance of bad service. Not recommended.
Avoid the Burgers – Three of my co-workers and I went to Ranch 616 for lunch. We told the host that there were 4 of us and he assured us the wait would be 5-10 minutes. We waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't too bad, but it was odd that he didn't write a name down. He tried to remember the order of seating by memory...so it was no surprise that he seated another party further down the "list" before us.
We waited about 5-7 minutes before our waiter came by. He took our order and the food came out pretty quickly. Half of us ordered the "Framed Burger" and the other half ordered a blue cheese burger. All of the burgers were very charred. I didn't notice it too much initially - but as time went by, it became very obvious we were eating hockey pucks. Furthermore, the fries were undercooked and completely tasteless. The onion rings were good and that was about it. In fact, I was amazed by the fact that the charred aftertaste stuck in my mouth for about 20 minutes after the meal.
We mentioned to the waiter our opinion of the food and he didn't apologize or anything of the sort. I must say that the decor was kind of interesting, but the atmosphere was very loud and the place felt crowded. We will not be returning to Ranch 616 and I would highly recommend skipping over this restaurant. Now, I do appreciate Miguel Vidal's comment/apology - seems like a classy guy. But, if you can't get a burger right, then why would I want to try the oysters or fish tacos? I truly hope the burger was an anomoly, but I highly doubt it.

Dick Francis (pictured with his son Felix Francis) was born in South Wales in 1920. He was a young rider of distinction winning awards and trophies at horse shows throughout the United Kingdom. At the outbreak of World War II he joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot, flying fighter and bomber aircraft including the Spitfire and Lancaster.
He became one of the most successful postwar steeplechase jockeys, winning more than 350 races and riding for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. After his retirement from the saddle in 1957, he published an autobiography, The Sport of Queens, before going on to write more than forty acclaimed books, including the New York Times bestsellers Even Money and Silks.
A three-time Edgar Award winner, he also received the prestigious Crime Writers' Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger, was named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, and was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2000. He died in February 2010, at age eighty-nine, and remains among the greatest thriller writers of all time.
"One of the most reliable mystery writers working today...Francis's secret weapons are his protagonists. They are the kind of people you want for friends."¾Detroit News and Free Press
"[Francis] has the uncanny ability to turn out simply plotted yet charmingly addictive mysteries."—The Wall Street Journal
"A rare and magical talent…who never writes the same story twice…Few writers have maintained such a high standard of excellence for as long as Dick Francis."¾San Diego Union-Tribune
"Francis puts real people into real situations...He appeals to our brains as well as our emotions."¾Virginia Pilot and Ledger-Star
"After writing dozens of thrillers, Dick Francis always retains a first-novel freshness."¾Indianapolis Star
"He writes about the basic building blocks of life¾obligation, honor, love, courage, and pleasure. Those discussions come disguised in adventure novels so gripping that they cry out to be read in one gulp¾then quickly reread to savor the details skipped in the first gallop through the pages."¾Houston Chronicle
"Dick Francis stands head and shoulders above the rest."¾Ottawa Citizen

That's exactly what the women of the 2011 Oscars brought to this year's Academy Awards. From the straight and sleek to some impressive waved updos, find out how you can get some of the prettiest looks now. Source: WireImage Gwyneth Paltrow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Harry Josh of John Frieda created this sleek, straight, and simple look for Gwyneth Paltrow. Josh applied John Frieda's new Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight ($10), blow-dried her hair with a Mason Pearson brush, and flat-ironed to finish. Flyaways were tamed with Full Repair Flyaway Tamer ($10). Source: Getty 1 / 10 Hilary Swank What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 To complement Hilary Swank's Gucci gown, stylist Robert Vetica created a sleek-at-the-sides asymmetrical chignon. "My inspirations were the romantic, elegant styles worn by Hollywood film icon Grace Kelly, though this is very modern, not retro in any way," Vetica said. He used Moroccanoil Oil Treatment to prep the hair, placed it into a side chignon, and finished with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray. Anna Hu platinum and diamond earrings (affixed on each side of the chignon) added elegance to the chic style. Source: WireImage 2 / 10 Nicole Kidman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 David Babaii for Couture Colour gave Nicole Kidman a "playful ponytail" that was also inspired in part by Brigitte Bardot. Babaii used Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment ($32) to keep the hair shiny, blow-dried with the IT&LY Hairfashion Ionic Dryer and a round brush, and created a bump at the crown for a voluminous look. Source: Getty 3 / 10 Amy Adams What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stylist Laini Reeves for Couture Colour was inspired by Jerry Hall when creating Amy Adams's sexy waves. To get the look Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment ($32) was used to prep the style, and Amy's hair was wet-set using one-half inch curlers. When dry, her hair was brushed out to reveal soft waves. Source: WireImage 4 / 10 Melissa Leo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stylist Creighton Bowman created this effortless and carefree updo for winner Melissa Leo to complement the dramatic collar of her dress. Bowman used Leonor Greyl's Lait Luminescence ($43) and Condition Naturelle Heat Protecting Spray ($36) to prep. She then blew-dry with a medium-sized round brush so the style wouldn't be completely straight. After applying serum and pulling the back of the hair into a high ponytail, Bowman used just four hairpins to secure sections from the sides. Source: WireImage 6 / 10 Sandra Bullock What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 David Babaii for Couture Colour created this textured look for Sandra Bullock. He used Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment ($32) for shine, and then twisted random half-inch sections of hair, flat ironing them with the IT&LY Hairfashion Digital Styling Iron for texture. After pulling the hair back into a ponytail, he then wrapped the hair around the band, securing with bobby pins. Source: Getty 6 / 10 Anne Hathaway What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For Anne Hathaway's red carpet hairstyle, Frédéric Fekkai's Adir Abergel was inspired by a modern take on an Edwardian-influenced look. After applying Fekkai Full Blown Volume Styling Whip ($23), he blew-dry Anne's hair using a Fekkai round brush. He then pulled her hair into a loose ponytail, twisted it into a loose knot, and allowed wispy pieces to come out for a touch of Bohemian flair. Source: WireImage 7 / 10 Natalie Portman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Frédéric Fekkai stylist Didier Malige worked with best actress winner Natalie Portman to create this soft, romantic Bohemian updo. He started by applying an antifrizz product and volumizer before blow-drying with a round brush. He then curled the hair using a one-inch curling iron, backcombed the bottom layers, and swept it to the left side, securing with bobby pins. For a finishing touch, Malige used one of Natalie's earrings as an accent. Source: WireImage 8 / 10 Reese Witherspoon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Renato Campora of Frédéric Fekkai was inspired by Reese Witherspoon's strapless Armani Privé gown and the mod '60s when creating her glamorous, high ponytail. He started by applying Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel ($24) and Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum ($24). After blow-drying the hair with a round brush, he divided the hair in two sections, using a one and one-half inch curling iron on the bottom layer. He teased the top section for volume, placed it in a ponytail, and secured with hair spray. Source: WireImage 9 / 10 Scarlett Johansson What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 To achieve the sexy, modern shag seen on Scarlett Johansson, stylist Duffy applied Fekkai Full Blown Volume Styling Whip ($23) on Scarlett's towel-dried hair. After applying the brand's Full Blown Volume hair spray ($24) at the roots, he then spritzed on Océanique Tousled Wave Spray ($24). A one and a half-inch curling iron was then used to curl the hair, but the ends were left out. A hair dryer was used at the roots for volume, while a flat iron was used at the ends to help flatten the curl for an edgy finish.

Dropbox, Box, YouSendIt, Google Drive, Evernote, Skype, Google Hangouts. These are just some of the apps that Delyn Simon – a 42-year old executive – rattled off to Quentin Hardy at The New York Times when asked what services she uses on her iPhone.
Forget the malicious cybercriminals, for most IT Administrators, it's your own employees who are cause for the greatest concern. Downloading dozens of apps aimed to make daily work tasks more automated and convenient has become so commonplace that individuals often don't think twice about hitting "install" on their smartphones and then using those unapproved apps to access and share company information.
And, the number of different apps within just one organization can be quite startling. In Hardy's recent article, "Where Apps Meet Work, Secret Data is at Risk", he shares that the streaming video service, Netflix, discovered employees using 496 different smartphone apps, primarily for data storage, sharing, and online collaboration. And, Cisco Systems found several hundred apps touching its own network via employees' usage.
The risks of accessing these apps for both personal and business interactions become very real when sensitive data is compromised. That's exactly what happened last week when Evernote, an online note-taking service, experienced a breach, with customer names, emails and encrypted passwords possibly stolen, driving the company to reset passwords for 50 million users.
So, is there any way for organizations to prevent employees from using their own consumer mobile apps? Yes! But, first you must eliminate the need for employees to turn to outside data storage, sharing, and collaboration apps in the first place. That means providing a mandatory alternative – a solution that allows users to easily send, share, and access files and that allows you, the IT administrator, to know what's being shared, where data is stored, and that corporate data is safe.
Empowering employees with a secure mobile application is the first step to keeping your corporate data safe in today's mobile world. And it just so happens Accellion can help you with that.

Town of Longboat Key lays off three employees
Date: May 20, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Town Manager Bruce St. Denis laid off three employees in the Planning, Zoning and Building Department Tuesday, May 19, citing budgetary reasons and a lack of building-department revenue, according to town staff and commissioners.
Administrative assistant Angie Harmon and planners Butch Powell and Belton Wall were told of the decision at the end of the day Tuesday, according to Building Official Randy Fowler.
All three employees received eight weeks of severance pay.
Finance Director Tom Kelley said the layoffs would save the town a combined $200,000 for next year's budget, which is currently being prepared and will be released Monday, June 1.
"A lack of activity in the building department, I believe, was the reason for the layoffs," Kelley said.
St. Denis did not return a phone call seeking comment for this story.
Town staff is preparing for an anticipated $1 million shortfall in next year's budget. The shortfall is a direct result of an anticipated 10% reduction in property values. The Manatee and Sarasota County property appraisers offices will release property-value numbers June 1.
Fowler is out of town at a building officials conference in Daytona and was made aware of St. Denis' decision by Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Daigle.
The move means that only three building inspectors remain: Billy Perry, John Fernandez and Tony Supupo.
The decision, Fowler said, will adversely affect the level of service in the building department.
The Town Commission and St. Denis are expected to discuss the layoffs during a budget discussion at the 2 p.m. Thursday, May 21 regular workshop at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.

Raffle to raise money to restore cabin; Historical society hopes to preserve Rev. Brown's home The Clay County Historical Society is working to raise funds for the restoration of Rev. Brown's log cabin, located in Riverside Township.
Raffle tickets for a quilt made by Betty Ann Inberg Dahlin and her daughter Valerie Dahlin Begeman, are now on sale at the Austin-Whittemore House or Nook 'n Cranny. Tickets cost $1 each or six for $5.
The quilt will be on display at the Austin-Whittemore House until Sept. 1. It will then be exhibited at Nook 'n Cranny until the drawing, set for Sept. 28 during the Clay County Historical Society's regular monthly meeting at 7:30 p.m.
In 1868 the Swedish immigrant Daniel Peter Brown arranged for two of his fellow countrymen to build him a log cabin from the trees growing on his claim in Riverside Township in Clay County, Dakota Territory, near the Vermillion River. Compensation for these builders came in the form of logs from Brown's homestead claim, that they could use to build their own dwellings.
Brown was a clergyman � a preacher � and his cabin became an early gathering place for religious and educational purposes among the Swedish immigrant homesteaders in Clay County.
Church services and confirmation classes, baptisms and communions, weddings and funerals were led by the Rev. Brown and conducted in his log cabin. His preaching became the inspiration in the lives of many of the early Scandinavian homesteaders in Clay County.
The Rev. Brown held school classes in the English language for the immigrant children in his log cabin until country school districts could be organized.
The Rev. Brown was skilled in English, Latin, German and a Native American dialect. He used his ability to help Swedish immigrants locate homesteads and to serve as a translator when they filed for homestead claims at the U.S. Land Office in Vermillion. The Rev. Brown's cabin became a destination for Swedes and Norwegians first entering Clay County, seeking assistance.
The Rev. Brown served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was mustered in at Fort Snelling, MN, and was discharged from St. Louis, MO. He was a soldier in Ulysses S. Grant's forces during the siege of Vicksburg, MS, which changed the course of the Civil War in the Western Campaign.
Brown's origins are a mystery and his demise is an unsolved crime. He declared himself a Swede, but the rest of his background he kept to himself. The first record of him in the United States is of his being a preacher among the Swedes in Carver County, MN in the 1850s.
He sold his Dakota Territory homestead in about 1882 and moved to St. Helena, NE. It is believed he met with foul play on a trip to Yankton. His body was never found. All that was found was his empty knapsack � his most guarded possession.
When the Rev. Brown sold his homestead, he made provisions in the deed that he retained ownership of a few acres of his homestead in case he would want to return to his cabin and live. He never returned.
His cabin still remains on the original Brown homestead. In 1932 the desire to preserve the cabin was expressed by children of the homesteaders who The Rev. Brown had helped decades before. The cabin was then moved to its present location.
In 1974 a second move was made to preserve the cabin by repairing and replacing many of the logs. The transfer of the cabin's ownership to the Clay County Historical Society also took place.
Since then, another attempt at preserving the Rev. Brown's cabin started in 1999 with the formation of a committee and a discussion regarding the future of the structure.
In addition to the raffle, other donations to this project are also welcome and can be directed to the Clay County Historical Society, 15 Austin Street, Vermillion, SD 57069.

A nutritional supplement available over-the-counter may offer protection from Alzheimer's Disease.
Researchers at UVa and Northwestern University were studying the effectiveness of chiro-inositol, a compound that occurs naturally in certain foods.
The compound protects the brain from certain toxins, which damage and kill neurons and is believed to be responsible for Alzheimer's.
Professor of Pharmacology Joseph Larner says, "If we understand the fundamental mechanism of why there's a lack in the body of this inositol, we will begin to understand the genetic basis, and we're working on this at the present time."
Researchers are calling for further investigation, including a clinical trial in humans and further development of drugs containing the compound.

HARRISONBURG, Va., April 23, 2012 - Three members of the 2011 James Madison track and field and cross country teams were recognized as finalists for the top awards presented by JMU Intercollegiate Athletics for 2011-12.
Brittany Wilhelm (Stafford, Va./Brooke Point) and Stacey Nobles (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes) were each finalists for the Gary '81 & Fredericka (Cookie) McCollum JMU 2011-12 Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
Alison Parris (Saint Leonard, Md., Patuxent H.S.) was a finalist for JMU 2011-12 Female Athlete of the Year honor.
The award winner and finalists were recognized Monday night at the annual JMU student-athlete awards banquet.
Wilhelm was a member of the 2010 and 2011 Colonial Athletic Association Champion cross country teams. She has been honored with the CAA Commissioner's Academic Award for cross country every year since 2008 and well as earning the award for track and field in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
In 2011, Wilhelm was honored on the All-East indoor track and field team for her part in a seventh-place finish in the distance medley relay competition at the Easter College Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships. She was also named All-East in 2010 after a fourth-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay at the ECAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Wilhelm is a President's List student majoring in mathematics with a minor in coaching education and pre-professional secondary education.
Nobles was also a member of the 2010 and 2011 CAA Champion Cross Country Teams. She was named the 2011 Colonial Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Nobles is a Dean's List student majoring in interdisciplinary liberal studies with a minor in elementary education.

The center, a nonprofit organization that provides food, clothing and help with utility bills to low-income clients, runs largely on donations. The recycling program will help raise much-needed funds, said board president David Ingram and Lamey.
"Heather and I were brainstorming one day on how we could get a revenue stream coming in to help support the efforts of the Benevolence Center," Ingram said.
What they came up with was a recycling program, open to the public, that will accept cardboard, plastic and cans. All the gathered recyclable material will then be sold to a recycler, Lamey said.
The center has yet to enter into a contract with a recycling company, but Lamey has met with a Georgia-based recycler and she said she expects to be able to start the program by Sept. 1. It will be the only such program in Piedmont once it opens.
The price paid for recyclable materials varies each month, and there are different grades of recyclables, which makes it hard to predict how much money the program will bring in, but Ingram said any money generated would go to good use.
"It will be rolled right back in to the efforts of the Benevolence Center, and help our clients in need," Ingram said. "Food, utilities, whatever we're currently doing, those funds will be rolled right back into the organization to support that."
The non-profit center received $154,426 in donations and gifts last year, and another $5,000 in government grants, for a total revenue of $159,434, according to the agency's 2011 tax documents. The center spent last year approximately $122,558 on assistance for its' clients, with the agency's remaining funds going towards its operational costs, according to the tax documents.
And more than simply another way to raise funds, Lamey said the program is a way for the town to help the environment by recycling.
The center helps approximately 350 households each month with a wide range of needs. In addition to raising revenue, the recycling program will allow residents and area businesses to help the center without having to donate cash. Instead, people can help by donating recyclables.
"This is going to give people who may think they can't do anything to help the Benevolence Center, the opportunity to do something. Everybody has cardboard and cans and plastic," Lamey said.
And it won't just give good-hearted residents a chance to help, but also the center's clients.
"This will also be an opportunity for them to feel like they can do something," Lamey said. "It's going to be an opportunity for everybody to give, who may not have the means to support in any other way."
The program could also help the center in its effort to find grant money. Grant providers often ask if the agency seeking funds is "Green" and if that agency currently has a recycling program, Lamey said.
"We want to be able to say yes," Lamey said.
The program will consist of three bins outside the center's building, located on Alabama Highway 9 next to Piedmont Health Care. Schools, businesses and people can drop off their recyclable cardboard, plastic and cans once the bins arrive, Lamey said.
For more information on the program, or to donate to the Piedmont Benevolence Center, call Heather Lamey at 256-447-2220.

Imagine a bar and restaurant that, like Newman's Own, gives all of its profits to charity.
Beer and benevolence, it's been called. Drafts and donations. More fun, in any case, than salad dressing.
That's the idea behind Cause, a philanthropub ("a bar where having a good time helps a great cause") that opened last October in the U. Street/Cardozo neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at 1926 9th St. N.W. I've been three times–first to kick off the new year with the D.C. chapter of Net Impact, then to interview founder Nick Vilelle and this past week to have dinner with my wife.
Cause isn't alone. "Have a pint, save the world," says the Oregon Public House, which plans to open soon in Portland, a hub of both craft beer and NGO activity. In downtown Houston, bar owners came together last year to open the Okra Charity Saloon; customers, who get a vote with every drink, decide which charity should receive the next month's profits. The ideas for these charity pubs evidently arose spontaneously and independently. They're the latest in a wave of mission-driven businesses that blur the lines between the for-profit and non-profit worlds. [click to continue...]

In my last column I exploded in a superb rant about the Town of Telluride's refusal to consider preserving the pending newly acquired Valley Floor mostly (but not entirely) as a nature and elk preserve rather than wholly sacrificing it to the holy recreation Gods. Several people pointed out to me that I lost my head and was hopelessly pissing in the wind. Of course I was, but you have to admit preservation of that gem rather than developing it into the mother of all playgrounds isn't entirely a bad idea. In fact, truth be known and all-out sacrosanct recreation be damned, it was a hell of an idea.
Birthday Bash
Last Tuesday, as I hauled myself out of bed on the 70th anniversary of my tenure on the blue planet, I thought to myself "It's my birthday and I'm going to do whatever I want today." Then, being retired, I suddenly realized that's pretty much what I do every day nowadays anyway, so that specialty idea got shot down in a hurry.
I spent the rest of the day without success trying to figure out what makes birthdays so special to most people. Today, I reasoned, doesn't seem any different from yesterday and unless something wild and crazy happens that will move my enthusiasm off dead center it isn't going to be any different than tomorrow or the next.
Not one to give up easily, I pushed on. So why is this day so special to ordinary humans? To celebrate being a year older? Excuse me, but at this age I would celebrate if an annual reminder made me a year younger, so I prefer not to rejoice over an anniversary that's increasingly calling attention to my impending appointment with the big sleep.
I considered standard procedure, which would have been to tip a few in honor of myself and acknowledge being lucky enough to make it this far but since alcohol and my body chemistry are about as compatible as a recreationist and an environmentalist, that notion disappeared almost instantly. Still, at this age of enlightened wisdom you'd think I could find some reason to celebrate the big 7-0 and just before bedtime I found it. I settled on consistency and it worked beautifully. Yep, that birthday was a virtual carbon copy of all the rest. Now that I've found my birthday celebration niche, I can hardly wait for the next one.
I periodically remind people that I am not your ordinary American in so many dull ways it would make your head spin. Add celebrating one's birthday to the list.
Amusement Fiasco
Most Sunday nights on the tube, the Turner Classic Movies channel shows a silent screen flick or two. I get a kick out of watching a bit of some of them because the plots are so phony and stupid and the acting is so exaggerated. Pseudo-drama is the underlying theme. Unless the movie is a comedy, the actors portray a crisis or tragedy of some kind that's repeatedly emphasized in almost every close-up facial scene.
Funny thing, after all this time we still have the same sappy entertainment today only with sound. They're called daytime TV soap operas and in the evening they morph into a brain-dead art form called sitcoms. I can excuse the adoption of the early-days movies because it was a new and novel form of entertainment but you'd think after almost a century we would have learned something. Nowadays, those early movie substitutes take the form of intellectual trash. And you wonder why we have a moron for a president and a government about as popular as a pole dancer in a pulpit?

Location: King of Prussia, PA
When did you begin serving as a religious meeting planner?
September 2003
How did you get started in meeting planning?
In 2001, I did my internship for my bachelor's degree as a logistician for a religious organization. I helped plan the Evangelism Conference and that is when I discovered my love for meeting planning.
Describe the meetings you plan (number per year, size of meetings, where are the meetings held)?
Our office plans an average of 90 meetings a year, varying from a handful of people to several hundred people. Our largest event has an attendance of about 3,000 to 4,000 people.
What part of the meeting-planning role do you enjoy the most?
The best part of meeting planning for me is being on site, when the event actually takes place. You get to see everything coming together and experience the fruit of your labor.
What is your biggest current challenge as a meeting planner and what are you doing to try to solve it?
My biggest challenge is associated with the tough economic climate. It is difficult to predict turnout using past history. In these tough economic times, people and congregations are cutting budgets, and events and conferences are affected. As a result, there is anxiety associated with attrition and cancellation penalties.
What are your goals for the next 12 months?
I want to investigate further the applications of social networking sites in the meeting planning industry. I attended a tutorial at the last RCMA that sparked my interest in that subject.
What are your main software programs?
Our main software programs are:
Meeting Trak, which we use for registration and housing reservations,
E-trak, which is our online registration portal, and
Scheduler plus, which we use for function sheets (equivalent of hotel banquet event orders) and event specification reports.
In what other roles have you served your religious organization?
I used to volunteer in an organization affiliated with American Baptist Churches, USA.
How did you find out about RCMA?
I learned about RCMA from my boss and mentor, who has been a faithful member for many years.
How many RCMA conferences have you attended?
I have attended three RCMA conferences
What benefits do you derive from your RCMA membership?
I love attending RCMA conferences. I find the tutorials very informative and I also enjoy networking with fellow planners and suppliers during the exhibit time.
What's your advice for new meeting planners?
Networking is very important in this industry. Making connections with fellow planners and/or suppliers makes your job easier.
Are you glad you became a meeting planner? Why or why not?
I am glad I became a meeting planner because I find this job exciting. There is never a dull moment in the life of a meeting planner.

After Monday night's BCS National Championship Game, no one doubts that the Alabama Crimson Tide are the No. 1 team in college football, but how does the top 25 shake out after that?
Though this college football season will produce neither a conference nor a national championship for Georgia, it remains one of the best uncrowned seasons in school history. In that regard, the 2012 Bulldogs resemble the 2007 Bulldogs.
Membership in the FWAA has its privileges, and Dawg Sports has used that connection to learn important lessons about the Georgia Bulldogs by reading other teams' media guides.
The Michigan State Spartans visit South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, while the Florida State Seminoles host the Oklahoma Sooners in Tallahassee. Dawg Sports predicts the winners of the national games of interest.
The 2011 college football season is fast upon us, so it's well past time for Dawg Sports to revisit the 2010 college football predictions made last summer. Find out what Dawg Sports got right . . . and wrong.
College football conference bragging rights will be on the line when the Michigan Wolverines face the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the Gator Bowl and the Arkansas Razorbacks face the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Sugar Bowl. Dawg Sports lets you know whether the Big Ten or the SEC will be able to boast in "Don't Bet On It!"
There were major shakeups in the Dawg Sports BlogPoll ballot following a wild weekend of college football. Four SEC teams are in the top ten, but none are in a top three made up of teams all starting with the letter "O."
Dawg Sports picks this weekend's college football winners. Find out which teams will prevail in Air Force-Oklahoma, Arizona-Iowa, Michigan State-Notre Dame, and other national games of interest.
Dawg Sports picks the national games of interest in this week's college football action, including Michigan-Notre Dame, Florida State-Oklahoma, and Miami-Ohio State, in "Don't Bet On It!"

Smartphones taking over US market, says study
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30 — Nearly half of US mobile phone owners have smartphones, with adoption of Internet-linked handsets rocketing in the past year, according to findings released yesterday by the Nielsen research firm.
The number of telecom subscribers with smartphones increased 38 per cent to account for 49.7 per cent of the handset market by February, Nielsen reported.
Devices powered by Google-backed Android software were the most popular, accounting for 48 per cent of smartphones owned, while about a third of the people had Apple iPhones, according to Nielsen.
Blackberry smartphones made by Canada-based Research In Motion accounted for 11.6 per cent of the market, but buying patterns in recent months indicated people were more interested in Android devices or iPhones. — AFP-Relaxnews

But I don't want to get all bulky!

"No, I just don't want to get all bulky." Deep... breath. This is the second most common request, or anti-request, that people (ladies) come in with. Now, this one is tricky, and it can be kind of like putting toothpaste back in the tube. At some point, somehow, you read somewhere that lifting … Continue reading
