Ruth's Chris Steak House - Pikesville Ratings and Reviews
The food at Ruth's Chris is always outstanding. The service was very good but this visit had two minor issues. I had a promotional gift card that had expired 60 days prior. I brought it with me and although it was my fault that I let it expire and had no intent to "ask for the manager" I thought my waitress might have taken the effort to ask the manager if it was OK to accept it toward what was a $400 dinner for three. She did not. The other issue is that when we arrived we were asked if we were there for any special occasion. We told the staff that it was my daughter's 21st birthday. You would think that she might get a complimentary dessert, especially since she was the only one to order dessert. Nope. The last time my wife and I went to Fleming's for our anniversary they brought us a complimentary dessert without even ordering dessert. That being said, Fleming's will be our first choice the next time we have a special occasion dinner.
This was my third visit to this particular Ruth's Chris Steak House. Normally, I would get the lobster but for the first time I actually tried a steak (New York Strip). It was cooked well, tasted great along with the other dishes especially the lobster macaroni and cheese....that was GREAT! We went there for Veterans Day to celebrate ourselves in protecting our country during our time in the Military. I'll definitely be back again! I want to try the sweet potato casserole. I hear it's delicious! Thanks for the great experience. The Staff were very nice and personable as well. Makes a big difference!
Service was terrible. Was sitting at the table for an hour before we got our salads. They sent the wrong salad dressing my husband finished his salad and still waited longer after that until waitress came back so I could request the correct salad dressing. When we got seated we waited at least 20 minutes until we finally got some water 30 minutes until we got our drinks from the bar. At the end of our check was messed up and that was a whole Other issue. When you are paying the amount of money to eat at a restaurant like this the service should be excellent.
This was a birthday dinner my wife set up for me. She notified the restaurant when she confirmed the reservation.
We ordered the $110 porterhouse for two. We have had it before at Ruth's Chris and enjoyed it.
The price is significantly higher than our previous trips. The steak was tough, and not at all worth the price.
We also ordered the calamari. It is described as lightly fried but it was heavily breaded, overcooked and hard.
The service was fine for a mid-level restaurant. But not the exceptional service we are used to from Ruth's Chris and have enjoyed in the past. Water glasses were unfilled. The table was not cleaned up between courses. Orders did not arrive correctly (we ordered mushrooms and received mashed potatoes). Issues like those. Not critical, but not high-quality.
This was a Thursday night, so the ambiance was fine. Noise level good and not too crowded.
It didn't matter to me, but my wife was expecting some notice of the special occasion. There was no mention and nothing offered. There has been in the past.
Ruth's Chris has definitely fallen in value. I used to pester my wife constantly about going there which is why we went for my birthday. I chose not to mention these issues during the dinner, since she wanted it to be a special event and I didn't want to complain then. Ruth's Chris let her and me down.
We will find somewhere else to enjoy a nice evening, good service, and a good steak.
Took my wife for my anniversary. The overall experience was great. If I had one complaint is that my wife and I ordered our filets medium. Hers came out rare and mine was raw. For a high end restaurant where the steak is the main item (it's in the name), I expected much closer to medium. Of course they put it back on and it came out much better. They refreshed the side of mash with a new one and the manager apologized. No other gesture was made beyond this, but I suppose I wasn't expecting it at Ruth's Chris. Still, it was good and I would go back. I chalk the steaks up to a mistake.
The food and service were outstanding. Took my wife and son to celebrate his 19th birthday. The hostess and waiter were very friendly and they gave my son a birthday dessert. The steaks were phenomenal, cooked perfectly, we had the 16 oz ribeye and the 11 oz filet. Really like the fact that they're no longer an a la cart restaurant, you can order a 3-course meal, although it's a limited menu. They also had live music outside, but it was a little chilly so we sat inside. Highly recommend this restaurant, but know that it's a high end restaurant so you're going to pay a hefty price.
My wife and I probably ate in at least 50 Ruth's Chris across the country. We try and make going to Ruth Chris a special occasion, we always enjoy, always special! I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed we were, our salad was wilted obviously sitting on a counter for a period of time. The raisin bread was stale and dry, then my 11oz filet came out "the plate was not sizzling only Luke warm, I asked for medium and got medium rare, waiter never asked us how was our food. They delivered mashed potatoes and broccoli and was cold the butter would not even get soft on either. I finally asked another waiter would they get my waiter, waited another 5 minutes before he came. I told him about my food and he said they would take care of. When I got my steak back it was dry (but really hot), my wife was already finished before my steak, mash and broccoli came out. I only ate half of my steak and could not finish it was so dry and now over cooked. We are so disappointed I can't think of going back to that Ruth Chris. It was the worst $150.00 we ever spent. To top it off, the manager never came over. To think it was a Saturday evening and maybe 1/2 the tables were vacant. Sorry, I'm always very positive, not this time

The food was generally up to the excellent Ruth's Chris standards, although the dessert kind of tasted premade and there was a leaf of lettuce that was rather slimy. Also, while both I and my father in law ordered our steaks medium rare, mine was definitely overdone compared to his. Lastly, it took a long time for my cocktail to arrive, even coming after the salad. The lampshades in the men's bathroom had scratches on them. All in all, a very good meal, and I thought our server Katrina did a very good job. But there were a few letdowns, as detailed above.
My husband just wanted to treat me to dinner at our favorite restaurant before I go back to work!! I'm a teacher and we so enjoy restaurants that are appealing in every way!! The food and drinks were exactly what I needed to end a wonderful summer vacation!!
If you like consistency then put Ruth's Chris on the list. We seldom waiver from our menu choices here. Small filet mignon cooked to perfection and paired with a nice wine. We generally get the scalloped potatoes, mushrooms, and substitute sautéed spinach. It's a perfect combo. Since it was my birthday, they kindly comped a delicious apple tart with cinnamon ice cream. The service was superb.
The Pikesville restaurant was a pleasant and lovely dining experience. After many happy years of dining at the Water Street location, I was not looking forward to going to elsewhere. Pikesville definitely lived up to what we have come to expect from Ruth's Chris.
Poor service. Wife drank my water bc waitress did not come. Nobody looking to see if we needed service. Would have bought another glass of wine, but lost the craving in the time needed to wait for service. Steak was under cooked. Had to send back. Doesn't appear to be any dress code whatsoever anymore. Prices are still premium. Manager did knock a few bucks off bill, but not the point. There are many other options out there. I remember Ruth Chris as premier dining. I'm not seeing it now. I'm sure I will choose another location for dinner in the future. Ty. Jay R Stine R.N. State Trooper - retired
Great Food, Great Service! Meat was a bit too salty for my taste and lobster was not very flavorful, but all in all a great meal. The presentation of the Bananas Foster for dessert was exotic and fun. What can I say... it's Ruth's Chris Steak House...and that's all you need to know! If you aren't shy about the prices you will be "Wowed!"

Bell Crank failure in HighEnd -
I purchased a used HighEnd as a trainer for my little girl last winter. She wanted to learn how to fly and maybe join her dad as a junior one day down the road at a WC event. The model was repaired on a wing tip from what appeared to be a minor ding. There was no other damage. I flew it 6 or 7 times to trim it out and test it on our mega bungees. It seemed to be an able aircraft - nice and stable. I spec'd it out on most of the occasions I flew it and put it through its paces. I had no issues.
A couple weeks ago I took it out with the hopes of teaching a friend how to throw f3J style overhand with some tension. I did a safety check which was a hand toss for trim checks. Then I launched with the mega bungee. The launch was stable and essentially everything I expected. I handed the model to my friend for his first J throw - he went back to a decent tension and then threw - the model rotated slightly - climbed about 120 feet and while still moving at an easy 70 KMH I lost elevator control. I had no time to react and the model piled in with full bungee tension - Everything was destroyed accept the fuse aft of the canopy and the stabs.
On inspection I saw that the bell crank had failed - the brass insert broke out of the plastic retainer. You can see daylight in the area where the brass retainer for the drive pin should be and you can clearly see the broken plastic ring in the picture supplied.
I contacted the distributor who felt the manufacturer would not be interested in this case since the model was not new - I dont feel like these components should be expiring before other pieces. I would have been fine if the spar failed or delamed but this is a major control point that should outlast the airframe in my opinion. So I am out a plane but lucky to have not injured or killed anyone.
I have only been flying F3J for 10 years - In that time frame I have flown roughly - 20 contest grade models and some of them were flown intensely for years. I have had components fail...I had an orca wing fail - Manufacturer replaced it due to an obvious production oversight - I had a X2 fuse fail - Nan replaced it free - these guys stand in the gap and it pays in the end. I was surprised not to even get a reply from the manufacturer in this recent scenario.
If you have this model in your shop I would strongly suggest you inspect it and possibly replace the bell crank. Its obviously not well designed and if yours fails like mine did - someone could get hurt.
Auch Now you must give one of your Xplorers to your daughter
I have the ball link come out from bell crank come (push rod connection low in fin). It was an Aspire and the incidence happened probably because I had twisted the pushrod while adjusting servo kwik link.
Fortunately link came loose in landing, so no further damage to the plane. Repair job was a little fiddly. After some head scratching I flipped rudder 90 deg to side and hacked through rudder fin spar.
It is good to know that these parts, although reliable, are not bullet proof.
These are carbon kevlar lead filled projectiles without these parts properly functioning - I personally dont think they should ever fail without abuse- over driving a surface is within expected scenarios in my opinion.
My concern is two fold - 1) zero response from the manufacturer - regardless of the age of this design I am not sure I could endorse anything for contest use in the future - yes I know this design won a Euro tour in 07 but support is important when you are looking at 3-5 models.
2) safety - this could be a lethal scenario
Yeah the bell crank going is a bad one because it doesn't slow the model down like other things, but anything can happen on a major failure. I feel for you really, but I think if you are telling the manufacturer about something that failed after you picked up a bag of bits you are on to a loser.
It's a huge sh*t sandwich no doubt.
Hey Dave,
Your bell crank failure occurred most likely from your elevator being over driven sometime over its life.
If your elevator down travel is more than the slot allows, it will place extra pressure on the plastic part of the ball link.
How do I know this?
I have broken them myself in my early years from over driving them during set up.
I was lucky I to see it and catch it on the ground.
Dave, I know you are a very talented builder and pilot but you need to understand, being a used aircraft the past owner could have caused this without knowing.
Whenever I buy a used aircraft, this is an item I check because of my past experience.
I just dont think this piece should be failing on a model that was not abused. This model was not abused. The stabs were perfect - the fuse was in great shape. The wing aside from a little ding was spotless.
Anyway "you pay your money, you take your chances" life is a gamble and I lost that one.
When my X2 3.5 fuse failed from obviously abusive wind at the F3J WC Nan sent me a new one with my requested customization (free). The wind in South africa was 40M second gusting to even higher once in a while. Nan was there too and could have said that these conditions were beyond the limits of what the models were intended to be flown at. They did not.
I get a lot of people asking me if I would consider switching to model ____ and then I remember moments like this and buy another Xplorer.
Just a thought.....
Could the age of the airframe have played a role in the failure of the bell crank?
What I am trying to get at, is maybe the material that the bell crank is made of was
not stored properly or stored in an environment where the elements made the material
brittle or weak?
David, the Tragi 801 early on had one circumstance that a bellcrank which was a carbon one, failed here in the USA. And to back up Thomas' comment, even on new Tragi's, I enlarge my alignment pin travel slot and actually open up a slot in the rudder drag spar to allow the stab pushrod more down throw travel aft in the fuse. Now, Heino did change to a glass, G10, style material for the bellcranks, and from what I know there has been no issues, and the slots eliminate the bind thing from happening.
This bellcrank seems to be an injection molded plastic piece. It certainly doesn't look to have all the material around the hole that a laminate type has nor does it have a "flange" around the hole that would increase its strength. Lastly, if it is injection molded, the failure may have occurred at a "part line", the spot where material flowing in the mold comes together after going around a piece that would make the hole in the arm.
Dennis Phelan
More to the other post regarding injected molded pieces - possibly - its all done now - if anyone who owns a high end wants some stabs let me know -
Sorry for the loss.
What seems to be broken on yours is the ball link. The High end has a small bell crank at the bottom of the fuse, then the elevator is actuated with a short pushrod with a ball link. Seems really odd that the ball link broke.
There are two details that were not too well solved on the production High end, can you please check on yours if they have been rectified:
-The balsa shear web of the spar is horizontal instead of vertical
-at the hinge line, inner and outer skin are not connected. Normally, a window is cut in the sandwich material prior to moulding, that way the inner and outer glass (or carbon) skins are connected (bonded) at the hinge line. In my High End (and others, even the ones Tobias Laemmlein got), the sandwich was moulded without cutting the rohacell window and the sandwich was opened afterwards to get the hingeline moving. You can see that if you deflect the flap down and if you see a tiny strip of exposed rohacell, then that is the case.
The detriment on doing a hingeline this way is that the sandwich is interupted at the hingeline and is prone to delamination. Just a shock (hard landing, midair) can cause the outer skin to delam and peel off the sandwich material.
All modern F3B and F3J planes have a hingeline where inner and outer skin are bonded together and greatly reduce delams of the outer skin.

Thats good information on the spar and hinge line to determine the age of the model - since on one side the spar is fully exposed it easy to see...(let me walk into my shop and check) - yup balsa spar - it looks like a continuous balsa spar and not a sheer web - but its horizontal and not vertical - Wow -
Hingline - well this wing is destroyed so that doesn't matter now but good to know if I ever have to identify another HighEnd.
Well its our team selects in a couple days - and the silver lining was that I was going to loan this model to a friend to fly at this contest - if I had not found this weak link before then he would have felt bad and we could have had an injury so its a blessing in disguise I say! I will be putting a few of my X2's through their paces today doing some landing practice. By Sunday we should know who the Canadian team is and or if we have a team Not many J pilots trying out this season for Canada.

Over the course of my two decade legal career, I have acted as legal counsel in hundreds of cases and disputes or various types, ranging from simple breach of contract actions in Small Claims Court, to multi-party actions in Superior Court to complex Class Actions in Federal Court. Currently, my practice is primarily devoted to Construction/Real Estate law and litigation (e.g. liens, breach of contract and related claims/disputes between businesses as well as consumers) and Consumer Rights/Credit litigation (e.g. Truth in Lending Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act).
In 2010, I immersed myself in the law pertaining specifically to home loan modifications, particularly with respect to homeowners/consumers who are experiencing problems completing the process, holding the banks/lenders to the offered modifications and the terms thereunder as well as related credit reporting issues.
For example, I had a client who sought and was granted a permanent modification by Bank of America. She had NEVER missed a payment during the entire history of her loan, but for reasons related to employment and income hardships, sought a modification. However, once the client's modification was approved, the bank began placing her monthly payments into a "hold" account, without her consent. At the same time, they were reporting inaccurate derogatory payment related information to the Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs). As a result, my client's credit score was substantially lowered, and other lenders lowered her credit card limits and interest rates on student loans were increased - all as a result of wrongful and unlawful credit reporting. As you might expect, despite numerous letters to both the CRAs and the bank from my client and me, and notwithstanding written promises to ensure the correction of such erroneous information, the situation remained unchanged. Through litigation we were able to achieve a large settlement for my client.
Work Experience
The first few years of my law career was devoted to the practice of automobile Insurance Defense [for State Farm insureds](and the next couple of years to products and premises liability defense work), and I have substantial experience in various other areas of law pertaining to insurance, such as health insurance, subrogation, UM, coverage disputes, first and third-party claims, etc
Other Activities & Interests
On a non-professional level, I devote a significant portion of my free time to road cycling, and over the past five years or so I have become an avid recreational/competitive rider and occasionally participate in bicycle races throughout the state. I hold a Category 4 USCA Road Cycling License, with a 2008 ranking of No. 67 in the state in my age group. I am a Member of both the North Georgia Cycling Association and Dunwoody Cycling and frequently attend various Group Rides around the state.
I also follow tennis very closely, and play occasionally if I have the time and energy when not cycling. I'm also an avid backpacker and have hiked the entire Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail as well as many sections in other states and numerous other trails around the SE (e.g. Benton MacKaye Trail, etc.).
I have two pugs, and I am a zealous advocate of animal rights and environmental causes.

Despite accusations from military experts that America's F-35 stealth aircraft may not be as stealthy as originally planned, the plane's creators at Lockheed Martin recently promised that the 19 advanced jets to be sold to Israel in 2016 will have all the stealth abilities that had originally been agreed to.
The first squadron of aircraft are planned to be welcomed at Nevatim Air Force base in southern Israel where they will be turned into the 'F-35I', a version of the fifth generation fighter-bomber specifically improved to meet Israel's needs.
The Israeli version of the combat jet will be unique for its Electronic Warfare (EW) System that will be added to the plane. Malfunctions and other issues plaguing F-35 production are not expected to have any effect on the timing of the plane's arrival to Israel.

Concerns over the F-35's stealth performance and questions relating to its cost are still concerning some experts however.
Bill Sweetman, a senior editor for the magazine Aviation Week, said recently that US defense officials decided to reduce the stealth demands from F-35 engineers due to an under-estimation of the radar capability of the US's rivals.
Experts like Sweetman are now saying that nations like Russia and China with advanced radar capabilities will be able to spot the jets in flight using specific techniques.
"The F-35 is susceptible to detection by radars operating in the VHF bands of the spectrum," said Sweetman in an analysis in Aviation Week and the Daily Beast. "These are not criticisms of the program but the result of choices by the customer, the Pentagon."
According to Sweetman, the billions of dollars being spent on the F-35 are going toward a stealth aircraft that will need air of special radar jamming equipment just like the older generation of aircraft. Jamming the enemy's radar is just another ability in which the F-35 is lacking said Sweetman.
Lockheed Martin, the producers of the F-35 consider the aircraft to be to have full stealth capabilities, but according to the World Tribune, Sweetman said that engineers placed much greater importance on preventing a missile strike than on the plane's stealth.
Elizabeth Quintana, from the Royal United Services Institute, told the Daily Mail that America's enemies could easily take advantage of the F-35's low stealth abilities.
"Radar technology has advanced with the years, and yes, we should be worried," said Quintana.
"The key question is if the F-35 will be able to launch a missile before it's detected. The Russians are investing huge amounts in radar technology," said Quintana.
When asked how serious the plane's stealth problems really are, Quintana said, "That depends on the challenges we can expect to face. The military claims that there's no reason to invest all that money, and instead they should spend money on tank defenses."
Chinese defense forces however, claim to have the ability to monitor stealth aircraft at a distance of 350 kilometers thanks to a mix of radar technologies unique to China.
The British have been America's main partners in the development of the F-35, the most expensive weapon in the US military arsenal. The Daily Mail reported that the British government invested as much as 2.2 billion dollars in the jet and the defense ministry plans to buy 48 of the F-35s at the cost of 168 million dollars for each unit.
Britain's Ministry of Defense told the Daily Mail that, "The F-35 is the most advanced combat jet in the world and from 2018 it will supply the British military with unparalleled stealth capabilities."
Lockheed Martin responded to the scrutiny saying, "The stealth abilities of the F-35 are unprecedented in military action. Comprehensive analysis and test flights that checked the survival capabilities of the F-35 including stealth capabilities and advanced sensors... demonstrate excellent performance that goes above and beyond the planes of previous generations."

The sleeper success of 2004's 'Open Water' - a story about a scuba-diving couple abandoned in shark-infested waters - apparently ensured that 'Adrift' also known as 'Open Water 2', got greenlighted. It's easy to understand why, as 'Adrift' also claims to be based on real events and depicts a similarly nightmarish situation but, like 'Open Water', it feels stretched over its 95-minute running time.
After not seeing each other for a few years, good looking high school friends Amy (Pratt), Zach (Lange), Lauren (Hillis) and Dan (Dane) gather together on Dan's sparkling new yacht to celebrate Zach's birthday. Also along for the trip are Dan's new girlfriend, the beautiful Michelle (Richardson), Amy's husband (Speight Jr) and their young baby, Sara. It's all drinks on the deck and happy reunions at first - but viewers know the longer the nicey-nice build-up continues, the worse the eventual circumstances are going to be. And it doesn't get much worse than when the six buddies end up in the water with no way of getting back on board the yacht.
As the day wears on the water-logged sextet get tired, dehydrated and scared, their bickering leading to several stupid and gruesome accidents. Things go from very bad to much, much worse as friendships are tested, the group shows an unerring ability to exacerbate the situation - and then the baby wakes up.
The feeling of impending doom that you get while watching 'Adrift' quickly turns to escalating exasperation as you realise just how stupid these characters are (luckily the one who screams the most is seen off first) and how unlikely they are to get it together to save themselves. There are undoubtedly tense moments but these are diluted by too much aimless bobbing about in the water, over-the-top crying and drawn out, heartfelt confessions. Trashy, admittedly, but 'Adrift' is still worth a look, even as a "what-not-to-do-when-holidaying-on-a-luxury-yacht" training scenario.

text: This weekend, I kept hearing the ejection pump going off, so when I went to investigate, I notice that water was leaking out of the water heater. The gas water heater is a 6 year 50 gal GE dated back 2002. It is past its warranty, but I thought it was a bit unusual for it to break so early in its life. In any case, this is my first house, and I know only basic principle of how a water heater worked. I contacted my father in law who installed a water heater last year to help. Here's what we did: 1. Turned off the gas. 2. Open the drain valve at the bottom. I suppose I should have used a hose, but the water heater sits right next to the drain hole, so I just put some towels to direct the water. The ejection pump handled the rest. 3. Went to the hardware store and purchased a 50 gal Richmond 9 year. I also got a drain pan. 4. Disconnect the old water heater. It's connected to some copper pipe from the top with a dielectric connector. The gas goes to a cold iron pipe. Unfortunately, the new water heater was too tall and too wide. 5. Replace the cold water pipe with a short flexible gas line hose. Cut the overhead pipe and replaced with a short length of stainless steel flexible water hose, connected using dielectric connector. Check for leaks and reactivate. One thing I did learn. Instant solder is crap. I think there's not enough solder in it to work. I was able to solder the connector after switching back to the old flux and solder. I have some question post-installation 1. Is what I am doing to code? I was wondering about the flexible gas and water hose. I just don't have the skill to work with cast iron. 2. I wasn't able to find a really short flexible hose to connect the water, so I have a short one coming from the top with a S bend. Is this OK or do I need to replace it with a straight section? 3. Now I have a drain pan with a hole and no drain pipe. I was thinking of a flexible hose and have it run into the drain hole. Is there a problem with that? 4. I also notice a relief valve on the top. I purchased a drip tube that dumps water into the drain pan, but the instructions shows another pipe that goes directly to the drainage. Is it ok to dump into the pan or should I actually run a line to the drainage? Thanks! Paul

New York legends The Strokes are back, with their highly anticipated new album 'Angles'. Almost five years since the release of 'First Impressions of Earth', it seems fair to say that their biggest fans (myself included) have been waiting on this album like the second coming of the messiah. The amount of teasers that proliferated youtube and other sites before D-day proved how high expectations stand.
On explaining the album's name guitarist Albert Hammond Jr stated that "it's what it sounds like. It comes from five different people." On the other hand Nic Valensi was not so enthusiastic expressing his dissatisfaction towards the way the album was made and being quoted as saying that Julian Casablancas was often absent or recorded separately, sometimes leading Valensi to record his guitar parts alone in the studio. So much for letting bygones be bygones…
Nevertheless this album works and after a five year break we weren't expecting less. A healthy dose of stabbing and ill-tempered guitars, a glass of Moretti's masterful beats, a splash of Casablanca's unique deep/dry howl… all the ingredients that made The Strokes one of the best rock'n'roll bands in circulation have been recovered on 'Angles'.
The album opens majestically with 'Machu Picchu', where guitars smoothly imitate the beat of synthesisers. 'Under Cover of Darkness', the first single, is probably the track that most follows a 'Strokesian' tradition through its prodigious rhythm, rage and garage atmosphere.
'Taken For a Fool' is in my opinion one of the highlights of the album; its ambitious rhythm and Casablancas' unique cry for 'Mama' definitely makes it one of those songs that will stay in your head for a long time. It is even more sensational live and I would strongly recommend watching their performance on Letterman. The band also seem keen to add new beats and sounds to the mix offering a more electronic vibe on some trakcs as evidenced by 'Games' or 'Two Kinds of Happiness'.
'Angles' is not as raw as 'Is this It' or dark as 'First Impressions of Earth' but it should be celebrated as a fantastic return for the quintet; the members all participated and it works as a result of it. Ultimately the tracks complement each other perfectly making this a great album rather than a collection of great songs.
Moretti and Hammond cut their afros, Casablancas is not as drunk, Valensi doesn't look like a hobbit anymore…. more than a decade has passed since we first discovered them, and they have changed, we have changed… let's all appreciate that. Welcome back!

General Comments
I went to Onkar Indian Restaurant to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and welcoming - the open fire was a nice touch. They offer a good choice of starters. We tried the Tandoori mixed grill, a tasty selection of marinated chicken and lamb cutlets cooked in a clay oven, my wife chose the Prawn Paratha which was very good. For our main course we decided to try a chef's special and a Chicken jalfrezi, both were accompanied by naan and rice. The house wines are reasonably priced, we opted for an Australian Chardonnay which cost slightly more. For dessert we ordered the Pistachio Indian 'Kulfi' ice creams and were pleased with our choice. The cost of the meal was reasonable and the young staff were very helpful. I would certainly reccomend this restaurant.

Legal Question in Traffic Law in Georgia
was involved in a minor accident in which to aviod hitting a car that cut me off I scraped the passengers door side of the car in the next lane. Myself and the driver of the car I scraped both agreed not to call the police. He said that it looked like a simple scratch. This driver and I agreed that he would get an estimate and I would pay for it. We then both exchanged our information and he said that he would call me. When he did call he said his body shop said the axle was damaged and that the total cost of repair is $3000.00 I know and the other driver agreed at the time that only the door was scraped. I was told that they are trying to rip me off, and since The cops weren't called that there is no proof of an accident and I can simply walk away. I'm willing to pay for the damage I caused, but no extra. Can I walk away from this ?
2 Answers from Attorneys
You are liable for all the damage you caused, whatever it may be, and if you walk away you will probably get sued.
Frankly, you acted very foolishly at the time, and you are now planning to make it even worse. You NEVER (let me stress NEVER) leave an accident before calling police and waiting for them. That always goes badly. Please understand this is serious, and you have already made a simple matter far worse than it needed to be.
Second, you're at fault. You have made it worse by breaching your contract with your insurance company (foolish mistake number two) which requires you to report all accidents. In exchange they agree to defend you, provide legal counsel and pay damages. Call them now (like now - not tommorow or soon - NOW). Pray that they still cover you. If they do, they will deal with the damage claims and defend or pay them.
Third foolish move you made - negotiating with the other party (again a violation of your car insurance policy). STOP talking to them.
Fourth foolish mistake you are about to make - pretending this didn't happen. When you get sued and lose, your driver's license can be suspended for life (until you pay the damages in full).
Stop making this worse, call your insurer, report the claim, and pray you have not outsmarted yourself. In the future, call the police to every accident, and call your insurer within minutes of an accident. I am guessing you also made mistake number five (one your insurance company told you about in their materials) - taking pictures of the damages at the scene.

Fargo Force head into USHL championship series with win over Lincoln
FARGO - The United States Hockey League's newest addition is making things look easy.
Behind 32 saves from Mike Lee, the Fargo Force blanked the Lincoln Stars 2-0 on Saturday at Urban Plains Center to sweep the West Division finals.
Fargo also swept its first-round series against Omaha, and is 6-0 in the post season - with just two of those wins coming at home.
"It hasn't been easy," said Force coach Dean Blais with a laugh. "...It is one thing to beat Omaha, but it was another to sweep the West Division champs."
An announced crowd of 4,600 watched Lincoln get shut out for just the second time this season. Indiana blanked the Stars 1-0 on March 13.
Lincoln never lost three consecutive games in regulation during the regular season. Fargo outscored the Stars 13-4 in the three playoff wins.
Lee didn't have to make many tough saves on Saturday, as the Force defensemen kept the Stars to the outside, and Lee smothered long shots and gave up few rebounds.
"The defensemen were doing a good job, and I thought the rebounds I gave up were in safe spots," Lee said. "They like to throw it in and come after you, but there weren't a lot of rebounds tonight."
Chris Franks started on defense for injured Eamonn McDermott - who missed his first game of the season - and scored what proved to be the game-winning goal.
After Nate Condon won a faceoff with five minutes left in the first, Franks flipped a shot from the point through traffic and it found the net.
"I just hoped it would get through and we'd get a rebound and it wound up going in," Franks said. "No, I didn't think it was going to be enough to win, but it was good to get a jump on a team like Lincoln."
Condon also assisted on the Force's second goal - which was a pretty backhand from Josh Birkholz midway through the second period. Lee took care of the rest.
Fargo also didn't take a penalty in either of the final two periods.
"We had to have that discipline on the ice, because we knew they were going to be desperate because they were the team facing elimination," Blais said. "We just had to do our job."
Fargo will take on the winner of the Green Bay-Indiana series in the Clark Cup Finals.
That series is tied 1-1 after Green Bay won 4-3 on Saturday.
"The way we've been playing, I don't think it's a surprise that we've swept both series," Lee said. "We've put six good games together in the playoffs."
FIRST PERIOD: 1, F, Franks (Condon), 15:02.
SECOND PERIOD: 2, F, Birkholz (Searfoss, Condon), 9:03.
THIRD PERIOD: No scoring.
SAVES: L, Borelli 9-10-7--26. F, M. Lee 10-14-8--32.

Maine hospital invests in composting
July 23—Goodall Hospital in Sanford, Maine, announced last week that it has a new Biogreen 360 unit that takes food waste and creates rich compost for gardens.
The hospital partnered with Casella Waste Systems and Green Waste Stream LLC to install a food digester unit that transforms the leftover food into compost. The Biogreen 360 is capable of handling up to 1,000 pounds of food waste a day, and Goodall Hospital Environmental Services Director Gene Coffin said the hospital and elder care facilities generate about 750 pounds of food waste daily. He said the Biogreen 360 unit turns all that waste into 35 pounds of compost.

Devan Dubnyk was back in net Sunday for the Edmonton Oilers after getting pulled during the first intermission in Nashville, but once again, failed to finish the contest.
The Oilers goaltender has been kept busy during the team's nine-game road trip, having carried the ball since Nikolai Khabibulin injured his groin and was forced to return to Edmonton.
Against the Blackhawks, Dubnyk left midway through the second period after being run over by teammate Teemu Hartikainen, on a short-handed opportunity by Marian Hossa.

BUFFALO - Bryan Murray is in a Catch-22 regarding his assistant general manager's chances of shuffling off to Buffalo.
"It would be a big loss to an organization," Murray said of Tim Murray, who was interviewed Tuesday for the GM job of the Sabres. "But from a personal point of view, he's certainly a legitimate guy to be a GM in the NHL."
Tim Murray refused to comment on his meeting with Sabres president Pat LaFontaine.
Many around the league view the job as very appealing, as team owner Terry Pegula is expected to spend to the cap if that's what it takes to make the Sabres a winner, and a couple of solid pieces are in place with LaFontaine and coach Ted Nolan.
But while LaFontaine was expected to make a quick hire, it appears he's now in no rush.
"He's waiting for somebody to knock his socks off," said one Sabres insider.
Was that somebody Murray? Time will tell.

The comments made by DSCC Spokesperson Matt Canter on June 20 about Koch's historical business in Iran are inaccurate, disingenuous, and hypocritical. As has been pointed out in the past, including on this site, Democrats in general and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in particular have for years accepted campaign contributions from companies that have done extensive business with Iran. That includes a major Fortune 500 company with longstanding business connections with Iran whose CEO is one of President Obama's top supporters. A number of Democratic elected officials also are actively accepting contributions from companies doing business with Iran, such as Sen. Jon Tester and Mr. Canter's former boss, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Indeed, among the top contributors to Senator Gillibrand are two entities that were fined for violating U.S. sanctions against Iran.
Koch previously explained in detail the limited business that a foreign subsidiary of Koch did many years ago in Iran. This has been corroborated by multiple media outlets. The DSCC's statement that Charles and David Koch "got rich violating a trade ban by doing business with Iran" is patently false. As previously explained, the foreign subsidiary at issue had in place protocols to ensure compliance with U.S. law concerning Iranian sanctions, and neither the thoroughly discredited Bloomberg Markets article nor the follow-up story by ABC News ever pointed to any violation of U.S. law. In fact, Bloomberg Markets conceded that it was not claiming Koch violated U.S. sanctions.
As we have explained previously, several years ago Koch voluntarily adopted a policy more restrictive than U.S. law that no Koch entity will do business in Iran. That policy remains in place today. Given that other companies and Democratic party contributors continued doing business with Iran at a much higher level and for a longer time period than Koch, Mr. Canter's statements should be taken for the dishonest and shameful hypocrisy that they are. If he and the DSCC truly believe what he has said, then they should renounce those donations that they have accepted and refuse to accept any in the future.

I think it says a lot if you compare this guy to Zubat.
and not even in a bad way necessarily, but still. Both are bats, yet Zubat is just a head with ears and a mouth, wings, and some abstract spikes for legs. and that's it. The key points of a "bat", in Gamefreak's mind, distilled down to its simplest form. and hell, they had to, graphical limitations!
whereas Noibat here, has the big ears, but they have three rings in them. He's got a defined eye, nose splotch, and this helmet-esque thing going on with the purple fur going over the black fur. midrif, actual mands and feet, he's a fully-thought-out creature. In some ways, it's a better design. I can picture it existing in a 3D space a lot better than Zubat, who always looks awkward when he isn't a flat sprite.
But at the same time, there was that simplistic charm of Zubat that Noibat doesn't really have. A child would have a hell of a time trying to get this guy just right, whereas Zubat is a piece of cake.
I'm sorry this isn't more humorous, but I'm realizing this is the 6th-to-last Pokemon, and then that's it. So excuse me for feeling a little more reflective than usual. I'm rating Noi higher than Zu, though, because when I think about it Zubat is actually just kinda booty-sweat. I guess the take-away from all this is that not all progress is bad? also dragon-bats are cool?
Overall: 7/10

I love Noibat. I got one by Wondertrade early in the game and it helped me greatly through the game. And its so cute. Zubat's alright, but I like Noibat more in the "bat-type" Pokemon group.ReplyDelete
And forget Woobat...
When you're done with the Pokes you can do the Mega evolutions, the rest of the trainers... well, whatever you do we'll follow you anywhere.ReplyDelete

Gold amulet in the form of Duamutef, Egypt, 2000-100 BCE
Amulets are believed to protect the wearer from evil and illness or bring good fortune. In Egypt, the jackal-headed Duamutef or Tuamutef was one of the four sons of Horus. These were said to look after the different parts of the body when they had been removed and stored in canopic jars as part of the process of mummification. Tuamutef was the guardian of the stomach. This object was bought at auction in July 1930 by Henry Wellcome himself. It was unusual for Wellcome to bid for items at auction as he normally tried to keep his interests secret.

Old design is better
I loved my old pair of Voyageurs so of course I bought a new pair after my old ones went to shoe heaven. The new pair are good but not great, they lack the same cushioning in the heel/ankle area, so it doesn't hug the foot as much. Previously I could using normal socks and it felt comfortable, but now I have to wear thick socks. Shame... i really did want to love them.

The Texas Tech baseball team had many opportunities to break open a close game Saturday night against Northern Illinois, but wasted all of them.
The Huskies made the Red Raiders pay for it, too.
Tech left the bases loaded in three separate innings, stranding a total of 15 baserunners, and Northern Illinois finally broke through with three runs in the top of the ninth inning for an 8-5 victory at Dan Law Field, ending the Red Raiders' seven-game winning streak.
Joe Don Buckner / Staff
Texas Tech shortstop Kyle Martin (4) tracks a ground ball on Saturday at Dan Law Field. Tech lost to northern Illinois, 8-5.
"We didn't take enough walks," said Tech head coach Larry Hays, whose team drew nine free passes from Huskies pitching on the night. "They walked a bunch and we should have taken some more. We had some poor at-bats with the bases loaded and opportunities to do some things. We refused to take some walks when we needed them and tried to hit line drives, and we didn't adjust to the wind like we should have."
The loss is Tech's first since a 12-7 defeat against Northwestern on Feb. 9.
Thanks to a two-run first inning, the Huskies (1-1) never trailed, but the Red Raiders did their part to keep them out there, never getting the big hit or taking advantage of situations given to them by Northern Illinois pitchers.
The first opportunity came in the third. Trailing 4-1 with two outs, Huskies starter Brandon Copp issued four straight walks to pull Tech to within 4-2. With Copp struggling, however, Tech left fielder Geoff Byrns flew out on the first pitch he saw to end the inning.
Two innings later, Tech (8-4) again loaded the bases with two outs on a single, a walk and a hit batter. Copp again gave up another run when he hit Doug Thennis to make it a 5-3 game, but again escaped without further damage when Ashby grounded into a fielder's choice.
Tech eventually tied the game at 5 on a Northern Illinois error and an RBI single by Ashby, then loaded the bases with one out against Huskies reliever Mark Bagley. Bagley rallied to get Willie Rueda on a fielder's choice and struck out Chris Hall to end the inning.
"Our approaches were a little off today," said Byrns, who watched his season-long 11-game hitting streak come to an end. "We had too many guys going up there trying to hit the long ball and our focus really wasn't there. We hit the ball pretty hard today but what was most disappointing was we had a lot of walks and weren't moving guys around as well as we should have been."
Those missed opportunities finally came back to haunt Tech in the ninth as the Huskies took advantage of a shaky Tech bullpen, which has now given up 17 runs in the ninth inning this season.
Jesse Seykora capped a four-RBI night with his two-out, two-run double down the left field line to break the tie, and Jordin Hood followed with a double to left-center to make it 8-5. That was enough for reliever Matt German (1-0), who held Tech scoreless over the final two innings on a hit and two walks with three strikeouts.
"We're pretty fortunate we swung the bat," Northern Illinois coach Ed Mathey said. "Our pitchers walked too many guys and gave Tech too many opportunities. I think we were effectively wild at times because they couldn't get zoned in to get the swings. We swung the bat well and if we didn't it would have been a long night for us."
Tech still had a chance to tie the game in the ninth, getting the tying run to the plate with two outs in the form of right fielder Roger Kieschnick. But German got out of the jam and ended the game with a strikeout to give the Huskies their first win of the season.
Aside from reliever Travis Young, who allowed just one hit in three innings with a walk and seven strikeouts, Tech's pitchers struggled. Colt Hynes gave up five runs, four earned, on 10 hits with no walks and five strikeouts, right-hander Paul Gonzalez lasted just two batters in the ninth, both of which got hits, and closer Collin Auten gave up a run on a pair of hits with a walk and two strikeouts in the ninth.
"We wasted a good pitching performance by Travis with poor at-bats," Hays said. "(Hynes) struggled again. We don't have a whole lot of options right now until we get (Cory) Large and (Sam) Janca going."
The teams will complete the series at noon today at Dan Law Field.

Georgia will try to climb back from one of its worst losses under coach Mark Richt without having arguably its best player this season for at least the next month.
Senior tailback Thomas Brown, who leads the Bulldogs with eight touchdowns and has rushed for 413 yards this season, will be out four to six weeks with a broken collarbone, Richt said Sunday.
Brown missed the final six games of last season with a torn ACL sustained returning a kickoff.
"It's a shame," Richt said. "He's probably the toughest guy on our football team."
The No. 24 Bulldogs (4-2, 2-2 SEC) will head to Vanderbilt (3-2, 1-2) for Saturday's 6 p.m. ESPN2 game with redshirt freshman Knowshon Moreno and senior Kregg Lumpkin ready to carry the load at tailback.
Brown, who returns kickoffs and is a gunner on the punt team, rushed for a career-high 180 yards and three touchdowns against Ole Miss Sept. 29, but left Georgia's 35-14 loss to Tennessee Saturday in the first half hurt.
If Brown were to miss six weeks, he would be out until the regular season finale against Georgia Tech on Nov. 24 but a return after four weeks would have him available for the Nov. 10 game against Auburn.
"I know he'd play with it," Richt said. "As a matter of fact, he might have played a week with it. I don't even know if it happened last week to be honest with you. I don't know that. He's just that tough. He would go anyway, but we just can't take that risk. It's tough, but he'll lead, and guys will step up. They've got to."
Moreno leads Georgia and is 10th in the SEC in rushing, averaging 77 yards per game while sharing the workload with Brown.
Lumpkin, the Bulldogs' leading rusher last season, had surgery on a broken thumb sustained in the opener against Oklahoma State and returned to rush for 26 yards on four carries against Tennessee-all in the fourth quarter.
"Lump got back just in time," Richt said. "When he did get a chance to carry the ball, he seemed very confident. He seemed to have a little bit of juice in his legs, too, which is pretty understandable."
Richt expects Moreno and Lumpkin will split work "close to 50-50," and practice this week could determine who starts. Using freshman Caleb King, who is headed for a redshirt season, isn't in the plans, Richt said.
Georgia fell 12 spots in the Associated Press poll Sunday, a day after a loss that matched the most lopsided defeat in Richt's six and a half seasons.
Richt met with both offensive and defensive coaches Sunday and said he anticipates "a few changes here and there" in the lineup, but not extensive personnel tinkering.
"We've just got to get back to the basics," safety Kelin Johnson said. "(The coaching staff) is going to deal with that this week and they're going to make sure that we're ready for Vanderbilt. That's point blank."
The offensive line is an issue and so is the defense, which was scored on in four of Tennessee's first five possessions.
"We've got problems all the way from front to back," Richt said. "We've got some issues. We've had some good play at times all across the board also. We're just not playing consistently enough together. We'll have one guy, two guys maybe make a mistake on any given play and it seems like a lot are on crucial third downs and then all of a sudden we can't get them to punt."
Brown is one of Georgia's emotional leaders, but someone else will have to pick up that slack now for the Bulldogs.
"That's one only those guys will be able to answer and the staff, too," Richt said. "We're going to have to fuel the fire ourselves."
This and that
Vanderbilt is coming off a 35-7 loss at Auburn in which starting quarterback Chris Nickson was pulled for MacKenzi Adams. "We will examine that situation and see what we are going to do," Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson said after the game. ...Georgia receiver Kris Durham (shoulder) appears doubtful for Saturday. ...Georgia dropped from 11th to 23rd in the USA Today coaches' poll and from 12th to 23rd in the Harris Poll. ...Tennessee returned to the AP poll at No. 25 but remains unranked in the coaches' poll.

County Supervisor Bill Horn appears to have won re-election Tuesday in his closest race since first winning the office in 1994.
The 71-year-old Valley Center rancher and residential property owner held a 1,378-vote lead over Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood Wednesday morning.
While several thousand ballots in the North County election are yet to be tallied, Horn's lead — 51.22 percent of the vote to Wood's 48.78 percent — looks sufficient to assure him a sixth term on the five-member Board of Supervisors.
The close finish stems partially from a more than $300,000 union-funded effort on behalf of Wood that hammered away at Horn as a tool of developers with ethical missteps. Horn has been dogged for years by ethical questions and his sometimes abrasive style have alienated some voters. But he said it was the union spending that almost did him in.
"They have never spent this much before in a supervisor's race," he said Wednesday. "It makes it difficult when the union spends that much trying to get rid of me."
Wood did not respond to requests for comment.
David Lagstein, political director of the Service Employees International Union that led the anti-Horn union effort, said the narrow margin for Horn is particularly disappointing.
"But in the next few election cycles, I think we will see a board of supervisors that protects our water supply, supports responsible development and an economy that works for everyone," he said. "Unfortunately, this result means that it will take the community a little longer to get there."
Lagstein was referring to term limits for supervisors adopted by voters in 2010. Also re-elected Tuesday was Supervisor Ron Roberts, who like Horn will serve one final term and assures Republicans hold a 4-1 majority on the board. With both seats open in 2018, Democrats believe they have a good chance of electing one of their own, most likely in Roberts' city of San Diego district.
Horn spent about $300,000 getting out his message and responding to attack ads. He consistently argued that Wood, a fellow Republican who has been mayor of Oceanside for a decade, would raid the well-stocked county treasury to appease union supporters.
Horn was backed by the county Republican Party and the construction and development industry, a reflection of his support for property rights and backcountry housing projects.
Tuesday's apparent low voter turnout for a gubernatorial primary probably didn't help Wood. County Registrar Michael Vu predicts the final turnout figure will be about 27 percent when nearly 100,000 remaining ballots are counted. Statewide, the preliminary turnout figure is projected to be no higher than 23 percent, according to one knowledgeable California political analysts.
Horn said he will continue to push for rollbacks in the county land-use regulations. He says landowners have had potential development rights "stolen" as the result of county land-use decisions.
"I've promised everyone I will spend the next four years trying to fix it," he said.
He also said he will continue to advocate for agriculture, keeping a tight rein on county finances, push business expansion in North County and work to see the runway at the county-owned McClellan-Palomar Airport extended to accommodate larger aircraft.
San Diego political consultants Chris Crotty and John Dadian thought the race would be close.
"I think a lot of Bill's actions have accumulated over the years and people were ready for a change," said Crotty, who worked briefly on Wood's campaign but left it months before the election. "The message for Bill is tone it down and clean it up, but no one expects he will."
Dadian said Horn won because of close ties with rural area residents that reflects much of the district's limited government sentiment.

A few around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex had their feathers ruffled last year when, following the Giants' 33-31 victory over Dallas in the Cowboys Stadium opener, Giants' quarterback Eli Manning signed a wall outside the visitors locker room, adding the date, "9-20-09," and the message, "First win in the new stadium."
Manning, who claimed at the time that it was a tradition in many cities to sign a wall in the underbelly of the stadium, and that he had been asked to do it, was asked again about the incident in a conference call with Dallas reporters on Wednesday.
"I've done it at a lot of different places around the NFL and I thought they were starting a new tradition," Manning said, per ESPN Dallas. "So it will be interesting to see if anybody else has signed the wall, or if I'm the only one, or if they erased it."
Well, that's one mystery we can solve: the autograph has since been painted over. We guess the Cowboys are not much for this particular tradition. Either that, or they don't want to think about that September night ever again--and really, we can't rightly blame them. As for Manning, he maintains that he was not trying to disrespect Jerry's fancy new digs.
"It's not right in the locker room, it's in the locker room attendant's own little locker room in the back," Manning said. "It's not like I was trying to do anything disrespectful to their new stadium by any means."

Jessica Savin's blood alcohol content was 0.184 percent when she crashed through a rooftop skylight and fell to her death, according to a toxicology report.
That level is invariably described as "more than twice the legal limit," a reference to the 0.08 benchmark above which a person is presumed too drunk to drive. The more appropriate benchmark, of course, is zero. At 17, Savin was far too young to drink at all.

Asparagus beetle (genus Crioceris or Lema), any member of two genera that are important pests of the leaf beetle family, Chrysomelidae (order Coleoptera). The adult beetles are red, yellow, and black in colour and about 7 mm (almost 0.3 inch) long. They feed on and deposit oval black eggs on young asparagus plants. These species, which can be serious pests, were accidentally introduced into North America from Europe about 1862; they thrived and became widespread in a short time because they had no natural predators. The most common species are Lema trilinea, Crioceris asparagi, and C. duodecimpunctata.

Afterwards she announced that she had reaffirmed earlier promises to sit in the opposition, but urged Netanyahu to form a peace-oriented coalition that would accept the 2002 Saudi peace initiative supported by the Arab League, saying he should be "the first prime minister to adopt the initiative... which is still on the table."
"Meretz will sit in the opposition, but it will not oppose peace or a process indended to promote social justice," she said. (Roi Mendel)

Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri has insisted that he does not have a problem with Radamel Falcao amidst rumours of tensions between the pair.
The 27-year-old has not featured for Les Rouge et Blanc since being substituted in the win over Nantes on November 24, leading to speculation regarding an exit only six months after arriving from Atletico Madrid.
However, Ranieri has insisted that Falcao has missed the Ligue 1 side's last three games through injury before adding that the attacker could return to action at Guingamp on Saturday.
"There is absolutely no problem with Radamel," the former Chelsea boss said at a press conference.
"But even if I say that there's no problem, some people will still write the exact opposite, so everybody should write whatever they want.
"He should resume regular training on Wednesday and might play again at the weekend. We'll see."
Falcao has netted nine goals in 14 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season.

Namaskar Samir,
here you have presented a nice daily life scene of sea beach. Great colours and fine depth. Fine composition with this POV. A bit closer view with the boat and right side objects would be another idea. It is also superb. Tfs.
Have a nice week.
