We ate here because it was close by and we were hungry. We didn't have a reservation, and it was Saturday night. There were just two of us, and when we came in, we were told the wait would be five minutes, and the manager pointed to the table that would be ours. Ten minutes later as the people got up, a larger group of people arrived (also without reservations) and asked if there was a table free. The manager immediately sat them at the table he had indicated would be ours. We waited another ten minutes, being blatantly ignored by the entire staff. We were finally seated, and ordered. The bread with garlic butter was so-so, and we got the sample of all the meats. They didn't skimp on portions, but everything was average. The corn was rubbery and chewy, and I didn't make it past trying half a bite. I think there are much better steak houses out there if you want something nice, but it's fine enough if you just need food.

Rani Durgavati University (Hindi: रानी दुर्गावती विशवविधालय), also known as University of Jabalpur, is a government university in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. It was named after the queen Rani Durgavati. It is the main university of this city and has been graded as B++ by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
The university was constituted and established on 12 June 1956 under the Jabalpur University Act, 1956 (Act No. 22 of 1956) with territorial jurisdiction over Jabalpur revenue district. It shifted to its present location at Saraswati Vihar, Pachpedi, Jabalpur in 1961.
The university was renamed Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya on 7 June 1983 by Act No. 23 of 1983 to honour the well-known valorous Gond Queen of Garha Mandla. It was reconstituted under M.P. Vishwavidyalaya Adhiniyam, 1973 and given jurisdiction over Jabalpur, Mandla, Seoni, Balaghat and Narsinghpur districts in 1995 by Act No. 28 of 1995.

Press release from PR Newswire
Ross Stores Reports Strong Second Quarter Earnings, Issues Second Half 2012 Guidance
Thursday, August 16, 2012
Ross Stores Reports Strong Second Quarter Earnings, Issues Second Half 2012 Guidance08:30 EDT Thursday, August 16, 2012PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ross Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROST) today reported earnings per share for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012 of $.81, up from $.64 for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011. These results represent a 27% increase on top of a 20% gain in last year's second quarter. Net earnings for the quarter grew to $182.0 million, up 23% from $148.3 million in the prior year. Sales for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012 increased 12% to $2.341 billion, with comparable store sales up 7% on top of a 5% gain in 2011.For the six months ended July 28, 2012, earnings per share were $1.74, up from $1.38 for the six months ended July 30, 2011. These results represent a 26% increase on top of a 23% gain in the first half of 2011. Net earnings for the six months ended July 28, 2012 were $390.6 million, up 22% from $321.2 million in the prior year period. Sales for the first six months of 2012 increased 13% to $4.698 billion, with comparable store sales up 8% on top of a 4% gain last year. Michael Balmuth, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our better-than-expected results for the second quarter and first six months of 2012. Our strong sales and earnings growth for both periods continues to be driven by our ability to deliver compelling name brand bargains to today's value-focused consumers while strictly controlling both inventories and expenses." Mr. Balmuth continued, "Operating margin for the second quarter grew about 110 basis points to a record 12.8% due to an 80 basis point improvement in cost of goods sold combined with a 30 basis point reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses from the robust gain in same store sales." Mr. Balmuth also noted, "We continued to enhance stockholder returns through our stock repurchase and dividend programs in the second quarter. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $224 million. We remain on track to buy back a total of $450 million in common stock during fiscal 2012 to complete the two-year $900 million program authorized in early 2011." Looking ahead, Mr. Balmuth said, "For the 13 weeks ending October 27, 2012, we are forecasting same store sales to increase 3% to 4% and earnings per share in the range of $.63 to $.66. This compares to earnings per share of $.63 in last year's third quarter, which benefited from both better-than-expected shortage results and a lower tax rate due to favorable tax audit settlements. Together these two items increased third quarter 2011 earnings per share by about $.06. For the 13 weeks ending January 26, 2013, the Company is projecting same store sales to be up 1% to 2% on top of a strong 7% increase in the fourth quarter of 2011. Earnings per share for the 14 weeks ending February 2, 2013 are forecast to be in the range of $.99 to $1.04, which includes an estimated $.08 to $.09 benefit from the 53rd week this year, and compares to $.85 for the 13 weeks ended January 28, 2012." For the 53 weeks ending February 2, 2013, the Company is now forecasting earnings per share to be in the range of $3.36 to $3.44, up from $2.86 for the 52 weeks ended January 28, 2012. On a 52-week basis, the Company's updated forecast for fiscal 2012 represents projected EPS growth of 14% to 17% over the prior year. The Company will provide additional details about its second quarter results and management's outlook for the remainder of the year on a conference call to be held on Thursday, August 16, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.

I've been asked to share with my colleagues some ways my efforts over the past couple of years have created or affected a technical community amongst disparate enterprise companies.
One view is that you can count attendance and determine if it was worthwhile. What I learned quickly was it had to be relevant to the community and it had to be consistent and up to date.
What I enjoyed most was the community. The people who used the time to meet others in the group and also to catch-up with me and my colleagues. So I guess I am the glass is half full kind of guy. After reading one of my old IEEE spectrum magazines I figured there were other ways of looking the this effort:
Philosophically speaking, you could take one of the following:
So, I probably subscribe to last one as a process guy . Plan-it, do-it, review-it.

Parks, we often speak of them romantically, as retreats to nature, though they are as man-made as sidewalks and City Hall. Maybe it's one of our planet's superpowers that draws us in, photosynthesis, the magical conversion of sunlight into energy and the color green. Maybe we're communing with kin, living things that despite some distance on the Earth Life family tree are molecular cousins. »Read Full Article(7)

New Microwave Tool to the Rescue
July/August 1996
Rescue workers trying to locate earthquake and bomb survivors buried under tons of rubble may soon have a new tool: a device no bigger than a bread box that emits microwaves which penetrate stone, masonry, and wire to "listen" for the weakest heart beat, breathing or movement.
NSF-supported electrical engineer, Kun-Mu Chen, of Michigan State University, developed a microprocessor-controlled system that can separate microwaves reflected off human victims and the rubble around them. The system is superior to all existing tools used to find buried survivors, the researcher says. Dogs can only sniff out people under less than a meter of debris. Sound sensors can hear survivors call out but are useless with unconscious or severely weak or immobile victims, and paths for fiber optic snake lights can be blocked by rubble.
A prototype of Chen's system was tested by Federal Emergency Management Agency officials last summer and is now undergoing refinements in his lab.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/12/13
The Detroit Red Wings' power-play futility on the road is in danger of sinking to a depth not seen in 25 years. Still searching for their first road power-play goal, the Red Wings hope to continue their recent success in Calgary while handing the Flames a season-high fourth straight loss Wednesday night. Detroit (12-9-5) ranks near the top of the league in converting power-play chances at home at 22.1 percent (15 of 68), but is 0 for 36 at home while going 3-5-2. The 10-game road drought without a power-play goal equals that of the 2000-01 Minnesota Wild for the longest to start a season since 1987-88, and the stretch of consecutive failed power-play chances is fourth-longest in that span. "We don't get the puck back," coach Mike Babcock told the Red Wings' official website. "You get in, you get set up, you get a shot and they clear it down the ice. It's like a marathon going up and down the ice. "The bottom line is we've got to do a way better job on the retrievals. If we do th...

Second act: Musical theater was detour for aspiring optometrist, adopted Mid-Southerner
As a performer in touring Broadway musicals, Jason Harper had a workday that usually lasted only three hours, leaving him plenty of time to explore the different cities where shows took him.
Whenever he passed through Memphis, he felt a sort of siren's song calling him to the Bluff City.
"I loved Memphis," said the Missouri native. "It's such a neat city, with the music scene, and there's a lot of history here."
Once he decided to retire from the stage to go to optometry school, there was no question where he would apply.
Since last fall, Harper, 30, has morphed from traveling minstrel performing on stage at the Orpheum into serious student poring over books at the Southern College of Optometry.
"He's made the transition coming from his background in theater to a highly academic, high-pressure environment very smoothly," said Dr. Jim Newman, SCO's director of academic support services and one of Harper's instructors. "He's a good student. He's very attentive and integrates well with his classmates."
Harper, who lives in Southaven with his wife, who is pregnant, and 1-year-old son, decided to make the conversion from actor to academic to be at home more with his family.
"My wife was an actor, too, and we were both always going away to do jobs. We decided we wanted to be together," Harper said. "I wanted to provide a better life for my family."
He set his sights on a career in optometry because he had seen firsthand how serious eye conditions can affect people and their families.
His nephew by marriage suffers from achromatopsia, a condition of the retina that results in complete colorblindness and sensitivity to light.
"He was born while I was finishing my undergraduate degree, and they hadn't diagnosed him yet," said Harper, a graduate of the Missouri State University theater department. "He has severe colorblindness, and can't really see during daylight. I saw what he was going through and the family, and it pushed me in this direction. I'd like to do something to help him in some way."
The son of a geologist and the brother of a pharmacist, Harper was was always strong in science, but his success in the theater world took him on a career detour.
Straight out of college, Harper was asked to play the role of Roger, one of the Burger Palace Boys, as a last-minute replacement in "Grease."
"I had three days to learn the show. It was overwhelming," he said. "I expected to do more regional theater work, not go on a national tour right away. I guess I got to skip a few steps."
He moved to New York, working regionally between tours as Roger in "Grease" and Reuben, Joseph's oldest brother, in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." He was in a touring company that came to the Orpheum in Memphis in both productions.
Harper says he never planned on acting as his permanent career choice, but he tried to enjoy the experience while it lasted.
"I loved every second of it. It felt like a dream. I grew up watching shows, and to do them and get paid for it, well, it just didn't make sense," he said. "I'm glad I did it when I did. I don't regret a second of it."
It was a proud moment to sign his name backstage at the Orpheum.
"The Orpheum's been around for a while, so I signed a wall with a lot of famous names on it," he said.
When he graduates in less than four years, he hopes to have a practice of his own.
"One thing we try to push at the school, is we believe good doctors are good clinicians," said SCO's director of admissions, Mike Robertson. "I think Jason's background in theater lends itself to that. He has all the skills that I know will transfer into the exam room, that personality, smile and enthusiasm."
Whether he'll have that exam room in the Memphis area is not up to only him.
"My wife is putting me through school. Once I graduate, we'll do what she wants," Harper said.
Until then, he hopes to make the best of the city that spoke to him so clearly from a tour bus.
"I'm having a blast here. I can't wait to go to Playhouse on the Square. I've heard great things about that," he said.
After he finishes his homework, of course.
"Right now, I'm trying to get my studying habits established," he said. "This is the hardest thing I've ever done. ... But I have an end goal in sight, which is for my family to be doing well."

Asiana House to open today in Montpelier
MONTPELIER The Burlington-based Asiana House is opening its Montpelier location today.
Gary Ma and his wife, Sandra Tan, are launching the 50-plus-seat restaurant, which includes a sushi bar, after months of modifying a State Street space once occupied by Chittenden Bank and more recently Capitol Grounds.
The restaurant will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
The property is managed by Jesse Jacobs through Montpelier Property Management and owned by Overlake Park LLC, also part of the family real estate company. Jacobs said that in trying to encourage the restaurant owners to open a new location, he had about half of the restaurant space renovated.
Ma said he began construction in November, adding kitchen equipment. He said that once the restaurant opens, hell work six days a week in Montpelier.
The restaurants Montpelier location on the corner of Elm Street will share the same name and a nearly identical menu as the Burlington flagship.MORE IN This Just InSafety warning for Full StoryBETHEL Police have made an arrest nearly a week after a hit-and-run accident in which the...

Massachusetts to utilities: Thou shalt modernize (for at least 10 years straight)
Quick Take: Do you remember the days when state policymakers considered grid modernization with suspicion? Many of them thought it was a ploy by utilities to get approval to spend more money on unproven technology while shunting the risk onto ratepayers.
These days, states are not just allowing modernization, they are demanding it. For instance, read the release below from the State of Massachusetts. I'm not quite sure I agree with its claim to be the first to require utilities to modernize. Certainly jurisdictions such as California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, New York and Ontario have all issued orders that stimulate modernization, even if they have not expressed it in such sweeping terms.
But I'm glad Massachusetts is bragging. The more states compete to have the best, most reliable, most modern, most cost-efficient grid, the better for everyone. - Jesse Berst
Massachusetts Becomes First State in the Nation to Require Utilities to Modernize the Electric Grid
BOSTON - Thursday, June 12, 2014 - The Patrick Administration today announced that the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has issued two groundbreaking orders requiring Massachusetts electric distribution companies to modernize the electric grid, building on the Commonwealth's national leadership on energy efficiency and renewable energy. With these orders, Massachusetts is the first state in the nation to require electric distribution companies to take affirmative and far-reaching steps to modernize the electric grid.
"The grid modernization order builds on Governor Patrick's commitment to strategic investments in innovation and infrastructure, and creates jobs," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Maeve Vallely Bartlett. "By implementing grid modernization, Massachusetts will once again be leading the nation in the clean energy revolution and enabling customers to participate in how and when they consume energy."
The DPU's order requires each utility to develop and implement a 10-year grid modernization plan, to be updated regularly. The DPU determined grid modernization will provide several benefits including:
· Empowering customers to better manage and reduce electricity costs;
· Enhancing the reliability and resiliency of electricity service in the face of increasingly extreme weather;
· Encouraging innovation and investment in new technology and infrastructure, strengthening the competitive electricity market;
· Addressing climate change and meeting clean energy requirements by integrating more clean and renewable power, demand response, electricity storage, microgrids and electric vehicles, and providing for increased amounts of energy efficiency.
The companion order on time varying rates recognizes that the cost of electricity changes dramatically over the course of a day and year. Currently, most customers pay a flat rate. The time varying order would require utilities to set prices that take into account the varying costs of electricity and allow customers to make informed decisions on their electricity use throughout the day.

Can someone please translate these two things for me?
Yesli by ya byl sobakoy , i vy byli tsvetok ya podnimayu nogu i dat' vam dush
Damit eto otstoy mayor! YA polnost'yu imeya " vitaya chay" otzyvayet , ya ne khochu byt' na meli
I was thinking some time how anyone could write Serbian like this, but had no idea and then coincidentally i translated the Russian "Я не понимаю тебе. Я вижу тебе." with google translate, which gave me "YA ne ponimayu tebe. YA vizhu tebe." as the Latin version, which definitely looks similar to what you posted. So maybe your sentences are Russian, not Serbian, but the "latin" version of Google?
So funny, these inner-workings of Google Translate... After muddling around these two sentences for a moment, I'm guessing the original went something like this:
If I were a dog and you were a flower, I'd lift a leg and give you a shower.
Ladies, it sucks major! I'm totally having a "twisted tea" recalls, I do not want to be stranded.
It would be hard for a human to accuratelly translate this without the context, but expecting Google to know how to interpret "twisted tea" (which, I just learned, is a brand of hard iced tea ;), is a bit too much...

text: When You Have an Eye AllergyEye allergies affect more than seven in 10 people with allergies. Although not contagious, this type of eye problem can cause discomfort and aggravation to sufferers.An eye allergy can be seasonal when caused by pollens at a certain time of year, or year-round when caused by pets, feathers, perfumes, or eye makeup.Eye allergies are usually, but not always, associated with other allergic conditions, particularly hay fever and eczema.SymptomsEye allergies usually affect both eyes. The main symptoms of an eye allergy (also called allergic conjunctivitis) include itchy eyes, increased tearing, red or pink eyes, and mild swelling of the eyelids.Sometimes an eye infection can develop in addition to the eye allergy. This occurs when bacteria on your fingers or hands enter your eyes after scratching or rubbing them.Self-careHome treatment often can provide relief from allergy-related discomfort. Try the following:Avoid the outdoors in the midmorning and early evening, when pollen counts are highest.Use air conditioners instead of window fans because fans can suck in pollen and mold from outdoors.When outdoors, wear sunglasses to limit the amount of pollen that can reach your eyes.To keep dust mites at a minimum, wash bedding, especially pillows, in hot water.Use a damp mop when cleaning the floor and a damp rag when dusting.Wash your hands after handling or petting an animal.If you have a pet that you're allergic to, keep it out of your house, if possible, or at least, out of your bedroom.Clean humid places in your house—the bathroom, the kitchen, the basement—regularly to cut down on mold.Even if your eyes itch, don't rub them.Wash off allergens. If you've been outside, use a wet washcloth to clean allergens off the eyelids and surrounding area. Artificial tears can help wash allergens from the eyes. Apply a cold washcloth to the itchy eyes. Wash your hair every night because it collects lots of pollen.Use antihistamine eye drops or vasoconstrictor eye drops. If your eyes are still itchy or bloodshot after you rinse them, apply over-the-counter eye drops. Don't use the OTC eye drops for more than two to three days. Longer use can cause your eyes to become even more irritated.Apply a cold compress to puffy eyes.Try an oral antihistamine. If the previous measures aren't effective, take an oral antihistamine. Check with your doctor first, though, because some oral antihistamines can cause dry eyes and more irritation. Also, some of these medications have unpleasant side effects, such as sleepiness, dizziness, or excitability.Get helpIf the problem persists after two days of self-care, contact your eye doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may prescribe one of the following:Antihistamine eye drops. The relief that these eye drops offer lasts only a few hours, however.Mast cell stabilizers. These are eye drops used as a preventive measure and are taken before you are exposed to an allergen.A combination of antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer.Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops.Corticosteroid eye drops. Because of side effects, these should only be used short-term and under the care of an ophthalmologist. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

2013 Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet Pictures
The 2013 Teen Choice Awards were a more casual affair, with your favorite pop stars turning up in street style attire as the walked the carpet.
The 2013 Teen Choice Awards were a more casual affair, with your favorite pop stars turning up in street style attire as the walked the carpet.
The 2013 Teen Choice Awards were full of twerking and sexy R&B serenading... but who took home surfboards?
UPDATE: The video was taken down!!!
The bonus DVD feature and footage from One Direction's upcoming movie 'This Is Us,' in multiplexes on Aug. 30, is here for your viewing pleasure.
One Direction's Harry Styles is beloved by Directioners for his talent, curly mop and boyish good looks. He is also quite sweet, as he paid for his older sister Gemma's vacation as a graduation present after she finished her studies at college. What a baby bro!
Looks like Niall Horan is trying to be Miley Cyrus! Not only does the One Direction hottie share a hairstyle with the newly "urban" singer (who once claimed to not know who he was, despite hanging out with him in the studio), but the pair also share a love of twerking.
The handsome young men of One Direction cover the August issue of the British edition of GQ, with each member getting his own cover. Collectible! The issues are on stands on Aug. 1. Weeeeeee!
That Harry Styles. The One Direction hunk is quite a charmer. Just ask Taylor Swift or a hotel maid. Wait, what? Hazza dated a hotel maid? No, no, no. But he did convince her to record a sex noise for 1D's next album. He's a naughty boy, that Hazza.
http://youtu.be/gEZ1k_E4E1g One Direction's video for 'Best Song Ever' may be their best video ever.
Harry Styles is looking to hone his skills as a songwriter, so it's not surprising that he has tapped U.K. pop legend Gary Barlow of Take That fame.
Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are once again indirectly linked -- this time, it's via those hatemongering right wingers of the Westboro Baptist Church. Say what?
English actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is one lucky lady. She is the meat (or cheese, if you are a vegetarian) in a One Direction sandwich on the cover of the August issue of Glamour, which is the mag's music issue.
Ok, this is so NOT what it looks like.
Harry Styles wore a thong -- over his skinny jeans -- at One Direction's June 18 gig in Columbus, Ohio.
