The Green card is the document that is issued to foreigners who have been allowed permanent residency or may be conditional permanent residents in the United States. When you need to renew this legal document, you are required to plan and start the Green Card Maintenance process six months prior to the card's expiration. All the information and procedures concerning this process are processed by the citizenship and immigration services of the United States (USCIS). Below are some helpful points on how to go about Green Card Renewal.
Authorities of the US passed a law that this document has to be renewed from time to time. Nowadays the document is issued for a period of ten years. The date that it becomes invalid is highlighted at the front of the document. The initial step in the renewal procedure is by filling a United States citizenship and migration services form 1-90. You should note that this form is for those that want to be granted permanent residency.
Immediately you are through with applying for the document, it is essential that you visit the USCIS offices near you so as to be provided with a temporary residence document. You will get this document immediately but it is only valid for a period of 12 months. This duration is okay to have the other main document to be issued which is processed for about one year.
It is important to know if you have a conditional permanent resident or permanent resident document. The first document is given to a person that had applied for citizenship on the basis of being a business person or to those people that had just tied a knot in the United States. Conditional permanent resident document is only valid for a period of two years.
Before you are issued with a temporary legal document, the USCIS is going to conduct a thorough research on your criminal background. The USCIS will double check your fingerprints and also will want to verify your passport sized photo. If you are found to have participated in a crime that can cause deportation, then you shall be ordered to appear in a deportation hearing. Note that you cannot be issued with one if you are proven to have participated in crime.
You must also issue out to the USCIS official your current address. When you plan to change the address before the procedure is over, you should also notify them. This is to ensure you get the document once it has been renewed. You can also notify the officials about you change of address through the internet or phone.
The process is not free, so there are some fees that you are required to pay while going on with this procedure. The charges are for filing purposes and for conducting biometric tests. This amount is payable to the office of the USCIS accompanied by the forms and other requirements so that the process can commence.
Green Card Renewal process is not daunting as it seems. All you have to do is start the preparation early and have the right documents. After acquiring the document it is imperative to practice good Green Card Maintenance skills.

Renovation Saga Week 4: Chainsaw-Wielding Crazies
- July 31st, 2012
The renovation saga continues this week with even more toe-curling excitement. Remember this tree that was in the living room?
You may recall that we discovered it was totally rotted through and resembled the texture of balsa wood. That's not exactly the kind of column you want supporting a roof, especially when that roof is meant to be planted. So the big order of business this week was to take down the tree, and let me tell you, we totally got our white trash on in the process. Anyone would really, because it's just not possible to remain classy when you're operating a chainsaw inside a living room.
Somewhere between ripping up the living room floor so we could expose the crawl space below and actually hacking up the tree, I realized our house in its current state would make the very best setting for a horror film imaginable. There are woods, a marsh, all manner of ominous torture devices such as sledgehammers and crowbars, and now, a gaping hole in the floor that would be perfect for a bodice-slashed heroine to plunge screamingly down only to impale herself on one of the many sharp protrusions poking up from the foundation. A few rats could scurry out from beneath her lifeless corpse as the sound of a chainsaw faded off into the distance… it would be an instant classic. Read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Irvine
Online Reservations
Outstanding food and service! The best steaks around!
We moved to South Orange County in 2007. Our wedding anniversary came up and we decided to try the Irvine location. It was a wonderful dining experience with great service. Now we go there for all our special occassions or when we have out of town visitors..
I have eaten here several times throughout the years and decided that I needed to treat my girlfriend to a special birthday dinner. She had chosen another restaurant but I insisted on Ruth's as I was certain she would really enjoy eating there. Now, after dining at Ruth's Chris, this is her new favorite steakhouse! I cannot count the times she said to me, "This is so good"! We will be returning soon. The food, the service, everything was excellent!
We took our son for dinner to celebrate him beginning college this week. The food and service were impeccable and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We definitely will go back.
Happy Hour menu is great, the spicy lobster was too die for. The bartender took some time with us and gave us some great history on wine and answered some wine questions for us. It's always great when a bartender knows his stuff!
This is the place my husband loves to come for special occasions...best creamed spinach and lobster bisque around.
The whole experience was excellent... It was our first time dining at Ruth's Chris. It was my friends Birthday and we will defiantly come back w back again
The steaks - ahhhh, couldn't be better. The option of a three course meal makes ordering easy and affordable for the exceptional quality of food. We celebrated family birthdays there and everyone was "over the top" impressed. A bit noisy but . . . . .
We would like to thank the management for waiving the corking fee because it was our Anniversary Dinner! We have a certain pinot noir that we brought with us for the evening. The service was adequate. It was surprising that coffee or tea was not suggested at the conclusion of the meal. Perhaps Ruth Criss does not offer this amenity in their resturants......................my wife is a tea drinker. We will return agfain and again as the quisine is outstanding and portions exactly adequate. Thank you, Tony and Veta Zarifis, Mission Viejo, Ca.
Lisa was awesome. If Lisa wasn't nearby, Juan was. The food, service & overall experience was the best we've had. Highly recommend Lisa as a server.
Ruth's Chris is always superb. Everything was great. The food, steak and seafood, salads and desserts. Outstanding!
Came here after I got engaged, for our first anniversary, and now for second anniversary. Great food and time at Ruth's Chris. If you're looking for a steak house in the Orange County area, this is a great one.
The waitress timed out the various courses perfectly. The service was great! The birthday table sparkles and dessert were perfect. The food was wonderful!
We've never had a bad meal here. What's even better than the food is the service. Everyone there is always so wonderful and accommodating. It is our go to restaurant for a special occasion or impromptu date night!
We"ve eaten at Ruth's Chris Steak Houses all over the country. This one is in a nice location with good ambiance. Regardless of the location, the Ruth's Chris New York steak is my all-time favorite steak, from anywhere. It has never failed to impress me. I cannot imagine getting a better steak anywhere. Top that off with superlative service and attention to detail. I am impressed.
We had an amazing experience on Friday night at Ruth's Chris. Our family eats there for special occasions and then sometimes just because. The food is consistent and the atmosphere is festive and fun. Round tables make for lively conversation. Our server, Karen Edwards, is the best of the best of the best. Thank you, Karen, for another fantastic meal!
Had the Herb cheese stuffed roasted chicken, and Hubby birthday dinner had Cowboy rib eye. Fantastic. Mine came with a side garlic mashed and he ordered scalloped potatoes a la carte. One side is enough. Great service. The cheesecake is better than the chocolate dessert. Good wine list. Didn't care for blueberry mojito but they took it back with a smile. Pricey but worth it for a birthday. Will be back for mine
Cowboy Ribeye cooked Medium..totally fantastic...if still scared of pink color, you can cook some of ur meat on ur 500-degree ceramic plate with the yummiest flavorful butter. sinfully awesome....honestly, the cowboy ribeye can be shared too. the sweet potato casserole is like dessert..partnered it with the savory ribeye.. ummm.. heavenly delicious.. btw, we were three in a group, we shared porterhouse steak for 2 and the cowboy ribeye and we were not able to finish it all. 2 men and a lady... appetizers we had were : spicy lobster, crabtini. Sides were : brussel sprouts with bacon, sweet potato casserole. dessert: apple crumb tart. bill around $300 with tip. not bad split into three and we had the best steak i've ever tasted.
We started with calamari, which was excellent. Our rib-eye steaks were perfectly prepared and tasted great. The sides of potato au gratin and asparagus were also very good. We finished dinner with chocolate cake and coffee. The service was excellent, our water glasses and coffee cups were always full.
The service was absolutely fantastic. Our server was on her a-game, the bussers were helpful, polite, and cleared our plates quickly. Got a visit from the manager asking if all was good. We feasted pretty good and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Appetizers, entrees, side dishes, and deserts were all fantastic. It sits in sort of a strip mall, so it's not the most scenic location, but it's typical of that area. Not much to see around it anyways. Highly recommend if you're in Irvine and want a great meal.
Cowboy cut Ribeye was cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese was outstanding!
Amazing food and service, a great location for a special occasion!!
Hands down the best fillet around. Hot plates were a nice touch. Sides were both excellent. All food came promply, and drinks were refilled regularly. Only downside was 2 year old birthday party next to us - who brings a 2 year old to a formal dining room? Everything else was superb.
Always enjoy dinning here. Food and service are first rate.
Excellent food and great service! A special place to eat.
Ruth's Chris always fulfills. The last visit the food was outstanding with my favorite ribeye a perfect medium rare. Irvine's venue greets you from valet to back out with grace and friendliness. Snobs stay home and enjoy a pleasant experience. Oh and I live in New York yet they treat me like live around the corner
Great staff provided excellent and friendly service. Our server was Tovi who provided a professional and all-around exceptional experience for our dinner party. The steaks were phenomenal and prepared to the ordered temperatures with a perfect wine pairing from the extensive selections.
The entire evening could not have been nicer for my entire family. Food, service and attention to detail was just perfect. Great experience.
we have eaten at Ruth's chris dozens of times (usually the Irvine location) Service is always prompt and attentive, the order is always correct and well presented and best of all...the steaks are always, and I mean ALWAYS fantastic. Our group usually orders 2 filet mignons Bleu (very rare), a ribeye rare and a NY cut medium rare. They are always perfectly cooked, tender and delicious. The sides, desserts and salads are first rate (the chopped salad is wonderful and our favorite) but when your taste buds say nothing will do except a great steak....Ruth's is the go to place. The "buzz" of the room is pleasant and festive with a noise level that permits conversation. Background music compliments the all-american menu
When I wanted to take my beautiful wife out for her Birthday Dinner, I knew that choosing this place would be a great choice and it was. She was made to feel special not only by me taking her there but from her sitting down and seeing "Happy Birthday" little decorations around her sitting area, it's the small things as you know the food and service will always be top notch. Thank You for making her night!
From being met at the hostes station to the delivery of a complementary desert the service was first rate. Even when my wife wasen't quite finished with her salid and the entry' was delivered they took the stakes back to the kitchen to keep them warm. When they returned they were cooked exactly to medium rare as ordered. Not sure how they managed it but it was perfect. The wait staff was attentive and personable withour overpowering. The12 oz. ribeye's were outstanding and "rite sized' for for our diet. Will be going back soon.
Very nice dining experience. Robin was our waiter and he did a great job. We will be back.
Great wines, great steak, and incredible service, always!
Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our waiter Matthew was the Best. We were celebrating a 71st birthday and appreciated the "birthday sweet" compliments of the house. Our res. for 6:15 Pm was honored immediately, however when we left at 8:15PM the entire lobby area was full of people waiting to be seated. Very busy bar as well. Overall a wonderful experience and we will be back, even though it took us 1 hour on the 405 freeway to get there from Long Beach!
This place is great for first class steaks. I've only tried the Rib Eye and Sea Bass and would recommend both. Yeah, its a little bit expensive but that's the way it is for the best high end steak places. You get what you pay for. At least they have those combinations meals (sort of like Prix Fixe) which are "reasonably" priced which allow you to get a starter, entree, side and dessert for one price. I would go back for their Rib Eye anytime.
Our server was awesome! wish I could remember her name but she was great. She read myself and my girlfriend well. She know exactly what we wanted and even recommended a couple of great items. We both ordered the meal that came with a salad, a side, a main dish, and a desert. She knew what I wanted and even recommended adding Blue Cheese on top of my steak which was the icing on the cake. It was delicious and cooked perfect.
I've been to Ruth's Chris steakhouse before, but it's been a while and I wasn't sure it would live up to my memory. I don't think they are breaking any new ground regarding innovative dishes that challenge the palate, but they are very good at keeping it simple and doing a great job at that. Steaks perfectly cooked any way you like, tender, lots of flavor and the coating of butter doesn't hurt! Side of asparagus or anything else a la carte. No foods you can't pronounce (not that there's anything wrong with that) and our server was great.
The food was excellent, the service was excellent. The bar was something to be desired.
We had a great time celebrating a few occasions birthdays, friendship dinner and special Holidays and it has been great every time
I took a friend for a Birthday dinner... They said that it was the best steak they have ever had..
We had a great time celebrating our daughter's 20 birthday. The staff made it a very special dinner for the entire party.
Last minute change in plans had us scrambling for reservations and a table was available. What a lucky break! The Thanksgiving turkey dinner was fabulous! Plus, the package deals for other choices, including steaks, made my son and husband happy. Best of all--leftovers to take home. Not just from our plates, but a whole separate serving of the great turkey dinner for each person! That was a big reason we don't eat out, usually, on Thanksgiving. What a special treat. I'm hoping we can do it again next year!
Our dinner was a combination anniversary, birthday and Thanksgiving celebration. Everything was perfect. Our reservation was ready when we got there. Food and service was excellent. The special dessert for our anniversary was at no charge and appreciated. Would definitely recommend Ruth Chris in Irvine.
If going for ambiance and not just above average food, then ask to sit in main candle lit dining room. The room we were sat in looked like a hotel conference room. It was in fact there conference room as a projector was on the ceiling above us. When spending $100 per person you expect a certain ambiance and motel conference room wasn't it unfortunately.
Only one recommendation I would make. I alswaay had the rib eye which is awesome. However it is seasoned with too much salt.
We had our anniversary dinner here and they were fantastic and very attentive. We have dined at Ruth's Chris before so we know how good their customer service is. We had an amazing experience and of course we will be returning!
What a wonderful celebration we had, everything was perfect and the birthday girl (86) was so pleased. That says it all.
Outstanding customer service. I was celebrating my birthday and they made it special.
Fantastic food and wait staff. We got to try two experimental dishes brussel sprouts cooked in honey with bacon and mac and cheese with lobster. Both were phenomenal and I hope they are added to the regular menu. As always the steaks we ordered came cooked to perfection. The whole meal was delicious.
I know it's the holidays and they are busy...but we weren't even done with our salad and they brought the steak. Offered to take it back, but thought then we'd end up with cold steak... Otherwise great great food and service.

Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board:
Many Responsibilities and Investment Policies Set by Congress
GAO-07-611, Jun 21, 2007
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5491
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a retirement savings and investment plan for federal workers, held approximately $210 billion in retirement assets for 3.7 million participants, as of February 2007. TSP is managed by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB). In light of questions about TSP oversight, we examined (1) the current structure for overseeing FRTIB, (2) how the statutorily defined fiduciary responsibilities of FRTIB compare to the responsibilities of private plan sponsors and how FRTIB fulfills its responsibilities, (3) how FRTIB's investment policies differ from those of private plan sponsors, and (4) FRTIB's statutory responsibilities to educate plan participants about TSP and other retirement issues and how these responsibilities compare with those of private and state and local government employee plan sponsors.
The Department of Labor (DOL) and Congress oversee FRTIB. In accordance with the law establishing TSP, DOL conducts regular audits to determine the level of compliance with laws and regulations as well as to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Congress requires FRTIB to submit its annual budget and other reports, and to undergo an independent financial audit. However, Congress has not held regular FRTIB oversight hearings. Also, DOL does not submit its audit reports directly to Congress, and has not yet been provided with a mechanism to communicate issues of critical concern to Congress. FRTIB's fiduciary duties are similar to those of fiduciaries of private sector plans. To act prudently and solely in the interest of plan participants, FRTIB has implemented policies and practices in several of the areas mentioned in DOL's guidance for private sector plans. However, unlike the law governing private plans, the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 (FERSA)--the law that governs the administration of TSP--contains special liability protections for Board members and the Executive Director. FRTIB has less discretion than private sector plan sponsors in setting investment policy because the investment options available to TSP participants are largely outlined in law, whereas private sector plan sponsors are responsible for choosing which investment options to offer participants. TSP's authorizing statute specifies the number and types of funds available to participants, and requires that some of these funds track indexes, which are broad, diversified market indicators. FRTIB chooses the particular indexes for the funds to track, reviews the investment options, and suggests additional funds. Changing TSP investment options requires legislation. FRTIB and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) are responsible for educating participants about TSP and general retirement issues, while the private and state and local government employee plan sponsors that we interviewed are governed by different rules. By statute, FRTIB is charged with developing educational materials for participants about TSP-specific issues. FRTIB also assists OPM, which is required to provide general retirement education to federal employees and train retirement counselors at federal agencies to provide information to federal employees. Private plan sponsors as well as the state and local government employee plan sponsors that we spoke with are responsible for educating participants about their plans, but often supply general retirement information as well. As the size and complexity of TSP have grown, an appropriate level of oversight of FRTIB is critical to ensuring that federal workers' retirement savings are properly managed. GAO previously recommended that Congress consider amending FERSA to require DOL to establish a formal process by which the Secretary of Labor can report to Congress issues of critical concern about actions of the Executive Director and Board members.

There is something not right.
1. The Governers poll was continued even though it was unconstitutional. I thought it was being stopped after the doubts expressed by DE and others.
I am reluctant to launch a constitutional court case, mostly because defendants tend to leave the game. So hope this can be solved amicably and be open to re-nominations and a new poll.

Terroni ADELAIDE
Online Reservations
Service was excellent and food was some of the best italian pasta dishes I have ever eaten. They even remembered to bring a candle for my wife's birthday. There Tiramisu was amazing, highly recommend the restaurant. We did not order pizza there but want to go back and try it, looked really good at several other tables that ordered it.
Wonderful spot right in the heart of downtown. Near enough for friends who work at St. Mike's Hospital to meet. Waiter had good suggestions for our meal. Everything was delicious and unique. We spent about two hours enjoying the evening and never felt we we're rushed to leave. Loved the atmosphere in the old town courthouse. The washrooms were interesting and clean- set in the cellar of the old jail. Old metal jail doors are still visible and an old cell is used as their wine cellar.
The food was awesome, great pizza, nice wine, the ambience was hip and fun. However, our server was not friendly at all, quite miserable actually. We thought it was weird that an 18% gratuity was automatically added on to our bill for a party of 6 people. We would have definitely left a tip, but not 18%. Her service was surely not worth that much. When I looked more closely at our open table reservation e-mail, it did indeed state the policy in fine print. Just don't think it makes sense.
We enjoyed the food very much and the service was excellent - very attentive. We had reserved at least 1 week ahead and would have appreciated a table with more room and a better location. We were there to celebrate our 41st anniversary and could not talk over the noise.
The only reason the noise level was 'quiet' is because we sat on the patio. Much of the indoor space is often quite loud. Still great food and a fanastic lunch patio experience!
We were told this was a great true Italian experience-when we searched reviews we were surprised by the negative comments on the service not accommodating customer requests for menu changes. Trust the menu and the staff, we had a wonderful evening with delicious wine and food-in fact it was hard to decide what to choose! I do know where I will choose to go for good Italian next time I am in downtown Toronto!
I love Terroni, always have. Still do. Our dining experience was marred not by the restaurant, but by the nagging email we received from Open Table the day after. It claimed we were no-shows and outlined a list of penalties if we no-showed in the future. I did respond and the restaurant rectified this. But I am ex-hospitality and know enough to cancel a reservation if it's no longer required. In the future I'll do my reservations without Open Table because frankly, who needs the hassle?
This restaurant lived up to my expectations and more. Some of the best pizza I have ever had and a great spot for a date. Thank you!
We love the food at Terroni. But sometimes the pretentious of "no we can't do that are wearing." Yes, you can put salami on only have the second pizza ordered. Yes, when we're spending $500 on dinner for 3 kids and parents, you can help us cut the pizza. And yes, you can bring bread without asking.
Great dining experience but a little too loud. Food excellent. Still thinking about how good the pasta was. We arrived here since Terroni Bertolla was closed. This was our first time there. Terroni Bertolla remains my favourite for food and atmosphere.
great ambiance, good service and food. feels like a unique place to go out, trendy but not stuffy fancy. despite being a lively, busy place was actually good for a baby with plenty of space for a stroller and not too too noisy.
We have eaten in Terroni for so many years. I still remember the taste of the 1st Margherita I tried. I tasted the tomato, cheese, even the flour. Another item I won't miss is Tiramisu. It is rich (well yes. fat too), taste so good. but only Adelaide still serve the "fat" version Tiramisu. enjoy!
This was my 2nd time at Terroni's on Adelaide. Once again I was not disapointed. The food was fabulous!
We make it a point to go to out as a family for my wife's and son birthday (they are a few days apart) and Terroni never fails – great food, lively atmosphere, and attentive friendly service. Although a bit pricey, especially the drinks – it's a wonderful way to celebrate
We mentioned to the staff upon arrival that we had theatre tickets and 1 hour for 4 of us to dine. The service was excellent. They could not have possibly been more accommodating
Food was good, service was good, but the tables were so close that I wasn't able to squeeze into my seat without disturbing the other table
I met a friend visiting from out of town who was staying at the Royal York Hotel. It was an easy walk to the restaurant. Excellent food, great service, lovely menu, and a fun ambiance. Will return again for sure.
The selection of genuine Italian cuisine was wonderful. Two of our party of four had no experience of this type of food, but absolutely loved it. The buffalo mozzarella was superb. The main courses had a delicious taste that I can still remember 3 days later. Making reservations on line really works, as well.
Beautiful space, knowledgable attentive server, decent food. The only drawback was the music and the noise level. Dance/pop music lends nothing to the experience and is too loud and distracting especially with an open kitchen and high ceiling which carry noise. Italian 1960 retro would have been more fitting and would have leant itself to creating a mood in this gorgeous space. With a plethora of Italian restaurants to choose from, this Terroni location could really be a standout with a few changes.
Goin to Terroni is always a great place to dine. Food, ambience is good. Service is fast and never a disappoint.
All the food I have tried has been very good. Most interesting are the wines, which are not available at the LCBO, but which have been expertly selected. The wines offer very good quality and complexity for the money.
Always consistent. Food is perfection. Attentive & educated staff . My go to spot any night of the week!
I have never been disappointed with the quality of the food.
Only criticism is that our waitress was disengaged and seemed annoyed to be there.
Everyone in our party of seven loved the restaurant--the ambience, the service, the food, and the wine. Our only word of advice would be to avoid being seated in the basement: it was too loud to allow for conversation and the space isn't nearly as appealing at the main dining area. We asked to be relocated to the main dining room and our request was quickly and pleasantly accommodated. We would not hesitate to eat there again.
The setting -- which includes an early jail -- is beautiful. The staff are lovely: We were the first customers that day and when we walked in they were playing rap music. We asked for something more palatable for our generation and got to enjoy a Motown sound track for the whole meal. I often choose this place for lunches (I've eaten here three times in two months) because the menu offers a wide range of choices and the food is always reliable. So the vegans can have a salad while you get the kids a pizza, and the Garganelli Geppeto taste the same (excellent) every time. You might not think that consistency is all that important -- unless you've tried the Garganelli at the Terroni in Summerhill, where they were terrible.
There is nothing like tasting food that reminds you of your childhood back in Southern Italy. I have never been let down at Terroni's and they never cease to amaze me in how authentic it is. The Burrata cheese that is flown in from the Puglia region every 3 days was amazing. Always get their pizza, just to take it home if you don't finish it. We usually get one as a shared appetizer.
One of the things that is important always is how a restaurant deals with a complaint and I have to say Terroni and our server came through, we did actually get a bottle of wine that was corked and I have to say they were excellent about testing themselves and agreeing right away. They were great in handling the situation and let's face it, these things happen through no fault of the restaurant but, they handled professionally and kept the good experience going. I felt bad sending it back as it is something I have rarely had to do but, they were really good about it.
Terroni never disappoints..............the food is always fresh and tasty, and the ambiance is elegant and chic. It can be a nice romantic place for two, or a pleasant place for a group. I would recommend it to people of all ages.
I love the building. The food is delicious. Our sommelier was great and super helpful. Interesting mix of music. Disappointing we couldn't bring in a cake for my bf's birthday, but overall an amazing dinner and great night.
this is such a great restaurant. the food is amazing, the service is quick and the atmosphere is unique. Terroni is set in the city's old court house. definitely go here.
I loved the energy of the place, the building architecture and layout is amazing! the wine selection is amazing! had one of the best pasta and best girl night out ever!
2nd time there - food is great - downstairs atmosphere is excellent - will go again
Food was excellent. The Pizza was like nothing I have ever tasted, like a new experience in pizza. If you go for business ask in advance for a table in the corner. Our location was loud (AKA "Energetic").
I really enjoyed the Octopus salad! Service was great and I like the atmosphere. Great menu!
I love Terroni- I bring my friends and family to the restaurant all the time (not this location exclusively), and everyone always has a great time. Food was excellent as per usual, the ambience was spot on. Do try the pappardelle; it's my favourite. Black tea is always a go-to as well.
We found the restaurant pleasant, the service good and the food delicious.
We love the authentique dishes. Like beeing in Italy. Thank You to the great staff. I will be back as soon as I can. From Mtl
Enjoyable, well priced. Good food and good selection of wines. I would recommend this fun location. Lots of parking close by and not a fortune
The food and service was great as usual. But the music is way way too loud. The restaurant is busy, therefore noisy, but with the pounding loud music on top of that, you can barely have a conversation without yelling to the person in front of you.
If you have any questions about their extensive wine list, they will send you a wine expert to help with your selection... That had to be the highlight. The atmosphere was great- we were a group of 8 and had a nice private room. Overall, we were happy with our food.. My octopus was a tough, but aside from that, all was great. The duck ravioli was a hit on the table.
Have been going to Terroni's for years Still busy - wish there was more seating when waiting for a table Ordered the cheese and meat platter -- was okay - I have had better from other restaurants - would like more cheese please I had the bolognese dish as the main - really good - would order again. My boyfriend ordered the pizza - no complaints...
This Terroni location is big and sound booms within the open space But the atmosphere is fun and party - like For a quieter experience avoid prime time dining But the food service and wine all excellent as usual
Took my team of 6 out for a company lunch. The food was great, so was the service. The olives and pretzel app is not worth getting. Otherwise it was superb!
My girlfriend and I came for our anniversary dinner. We were seated and served quickly. The waitress was very knowledgeable and made excellent wine recommendations. Every part of the meal arrived at the perfect time; we never wondered when our plates were going to come out and never felt empty. Though the restaurant was very busy, there was not a hitch in the service and our food came out hot.
Terroni is just a lovely place - with it being an old courthouse turned into a restaurant. It has its historic charms. This was my second time dining here. I took my cousin who is visiting Toronto. She was wowed by the fun ambiance and the beautiful decorative elements in the restaurant. The food was good as well, but nothing spectacular. Nothing outstanding. It was just fine. They had an amazing selection of drinks. We couldn't decide which cocktail drink to choose since they all sounded soooo good. After we finished our meals. We ended up staying at the bar for the second round of drinks. It was just a lovely place to be. All in all, I would recommend this place for the wonderful ambiance and the affordable price range.
We are repeated goers to the restaurant. We have never had a meal that disappoint. Caution to goers though - the restaurant has carefully prepared the food to the traditional Italian way, everything seasoned just right with the right ingredient in it. If you are looking for food out of tradition, this restaurant is not for you. It serves the everyday italian food using the best ingredient available in the most perfect way. A definite favourite!
we had a fabulous experience. went with our 7 year old daughter, great service provided, food outstanding
I took 4 clients out for lunch and we had a great time hanging out and eating. I found the music was a little to loud as it made a table of 5 hard to hear people from end to end. Service was good and food and drink were great.
This is a very interesting menu. The appetizers of mushrooms were bursting with flavour. The green salad was very fresh and the octopus salad was amazing. Pizza was hot and tasy and pasta was cooked to perfection. Our one disappointment was the noise level. This place is one happening spot which leads to alot of background noise which is fun. However they continued to turn up the volume of the music until any hope of conversation was lost. The waitress and support staff were extremely efficient. There was no waiting betweeen courses

Very nice slipplers

About Me Conservative
Comments about Rosette Slippers:
Just received these. Fit well, still big enough to wear socks under them if the house is really cold. Soft and quite warm. Soft sole, but feel durable enough to wear outside to empty the trash, whatever. I'm not big on pastels, wish they came in darker colors, but don't really care. Very happy with the purchase and price. I was looking at Dearfoams for $25, and these are certainly comparable for a much better price.

I have wide feet and usually end up ordering a size larger just to get the width in footwear. I ordered an 8W but should have ordered a regular 7 as the fit is quite generous. Love the comfort level and how quiet they are in the house on our hard wood floors.

LaDiff opening a Short Pump store
LaDifférence, a popular downtown Richmond furniture store, is expanding into Henrico County.
The store announced today that it will open a 7,000-square-foot location at West Broad Village in Short Pump Feb. 2. The store will host a grand opening celebration there Feb. 19-21. The new location is smaller than LaDiff's 50,000-square-foot showroom on South 14th Street but will offer a variety of modern furniture and accessories and what co-owner Sarah Paxton calls "showstoppers" from throughout the world. "For years we've had customers driving from the West End and Charlottesville to our flagship store, and what we've heard is that they wanted us to be more convenient to where they live," Paxton said. "By opening a second store at West Broad Village, we're making LaDiff more accessible than ever. We're excited to expand our footprint in Central Virginia and bring LaDiff's unique shopping experience to even more customers." Chris Pine, president of Eagle Commercial Realty, said LaDiff is a perfect tenant for West Broad Village, a pedestrian-friendly urban living, office and shopping community. "We are still very much in a growth phase at West Broad Village, and we expect that LaDiff will be a major draw for many people from around the area," he said. LaDifférence co-owner Andy Thornton said the architecture of the West Broad Village store – about the size of two-and-a-half tennis courts – will maintain the open look and feel of the three-story downtown store "and bring that experience out to Short Pump." LaDiff, which employs 25 people, expects to hire three or four more full-time commissioned sales positions to staff the new store. Jobs will be shifted from the downtown location until the positions are filled. The store manager is Matthew King, a Virginia Commonwealth University graduate who has several years of experience in the retail and international shipping industries. Initially, the store hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. "We're forecasting this location to contribute to a substantial portion of our company's overall sales," said Thornton, without giving a specific figure. "And while we want our customers to have a shopping option closer to their homes, we also hope this location will encourage folks to come downtown and visit our flagship. This location in the West End is really about convenience and access. We want everybody to be happy, because we're happy guys." |
VBS seeks blood donations

A decline in blood donations is typical during the winter months as people become busy with holiday activities and travel. Patient needs remain steady, however, making it important for people to visit a VBS donor site or mobile drive to give blood. > Read more.

A taste trip through Latin America
Estilo charms, with a stylish twist, in Henrico's Near West End
If you're looking for something a little different from the standard, ho-hum restaurant experience, look no further than The Village shopping center. Among the recent success stories to put down roots in The Village is Estilo, created by the owners of the gastropub Toast (featured in a Feb. 21 review in the Citizen), only a few steps away.
Estilo – which translates to style – offers a taste of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, among other countries, and a menu that rotates regularly through the rest of Central and South America. > Read more.
Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

Detroit Auto Show: Maybach on the Bubble
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
The line of cars, meant to compete against the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, has seen its business wither during the economic downturn. "The success or failure of Maybach hardly shows up on our results, but it is something I want to have a decision on by year-end. And everything is on the table," said Zetsche. "Killing it off? "Everything is on the table," Zetsche repeated.
The Financial Times recently reported that Daimler was in talks with British automaker Aston Martin about developing future Maybachs. Such ventures are also among the possibilities.
Maybachs, which start at $366,000, according to Edmunds.com, have been popular with some pro athletes and hip hop moguls. Jay-Z and Russell Simmons are among owners. Jay Leno owns one as well. Golfing great Nick Faldo has been among the brand pitchmen.
The current lineup of Maybachs includes the Maybach 57 and 57S, Maybach 62 and 62S, and the Landaulet.
The Maybach name first hit the boulevards in 1919, but was discontinued when World War Two broke out. Daimler-Benz ought what was left of the company in 1960.
The current-day Maybach made its debut at the 1997 Tokyo Auto Show at the height of the dot-com economy, and went on sale globally shortly thereafter.
Last year, Maybach sold 63 cars in the U.S.

The Cash Money/Young Money synergy continued recently in Miami. All the family was there: Lil Wayne, Drizzy Drake, the Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist, Lil Chuckee, Mack Maine … everybody. Wayne and his Young Money camp shot the video for "Bed Rock," while Birdman corralled Drake and Weezy for "4 My Town (Play Ball)," the next single off his album Priceless, due Monday.
"Me, Birdman and Wayne, we got this new song — I guess you could say it's like another 'Money to Blow,' " Drake said on set. "[The] three dudes that brought you the original are coming back, trying to make it just as big. It's cool, man, to come out here and see the classic Cash Money feel. Everything is really big. It's borderline cartoon. All the best things — the best cars, the best-looking women, the lights. It's one of those videos that's fun to do."
Birdman continued to say that while Drake is family, he has his own niche.
"Me and my son been working 20 years, literally. Working with Drake brings a different spark," Birdman said about working with Wayne and Drake. "[Drake's] got a different spark. He's him. He brings him to what we do. It's a different look. It brings something else to it. What I love about him is he does his own thing. He has his own thing with our thing and it makes it bigger. Drizzy!"

Who remembers the song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight?"
Well, I just read an article on maximizing laptop battery life, and somehow that reminded me of the song (I know, twisted mind!) There are few things as frustrating as running a laptop off the battery and having it die on you. Why does it always happen at a critical moment?
Murphy's Law of laptop batteries states that if you need to run your laptop from the battery, that is the time the operating system will decide that you need to make an immediate critical update. If you try to ignore it, it will keep reminding you that it is going to shut down your computer any minute. So you frantically try to save everything you need so that you can shut it down yourself, because you know the battery will expire in the middle of the update!
The article described five things you can do to help the battery last longer. Here they are, together with my comments and a bonus item.
Defrag Regularly
A fragmented drive uses up battery power fast, so defragging (when you're on external power!) will help the battery last longer. If you're using Windows 7, this is done automatically for you (unless you've turned it off), and I'm told that Mac systems have less of problem with fragmentation anyway. Presumably OSX has a better algorithm for handling it.
Cut Back on External Devices
They burn up the power, so it makes sense to minimize their use when you're on battery. If you're like me, all your USB ports are full whenever you're connected to the power, so it makes sense to remove unnecessary devices when you're on battery (including the mouse). Wi-fi also puts an extra load on the battery. Turn off your bluetooth, too if you're not using it.
Maximize RAM
Memory costs a lot less than it used to, and maximizing your RAM will reduce the amount of disk activity, lessening the load on the battery. The extra RAM will use more power, but unless you're not planning on doing much computing it will be less than the disk thrashing will use. And if you're not doing much computing (including watching movies) you're not worried about battery life!
Dim Your Screen
Laptops provide a simple way to do this for "power saver' mode. The screen uses a lot of energy. Some other tricks may be available in your power saver mode, such as cutting back on the fan: use all the tricks you can.
Clean the Contacts
When did you last take the battery out and clean the contacts? This is one of those tips that is so obvious that we tend to forget it. A cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol works fine: just do it every month or so.
Exercise the Battery
I used to find that whenever I decided to run off battery it was totally dead, having been on charge since the day I bought the computer. I think maybe batteries have improved now, but they still need exercise, just like the rest of us. So run them down to exhaustion once in a while. Next month, I'll be taking a long flight (about ten hours) so it will be interesting to see how long my battery will last after trying these tips.
On second thoughts, maybe I'll just sleep …

The public square is the cornerstone of democracy. The concept is that anyone can hop on a metaphorical soapbox and air their grievances about the government.
But what does it take to be banned from the public square in San Antonio?
It's happening to two local residents who are being shunned by their elected representatives. John Foddrill and Michael Cuellar are two separate cases but with some suspicious common factors. Both men are former city employees who say that while on the job they found evidence of fraud or waste in city government.
Jeff Garza solos with the symphony this weekend in Mozart's Fourth Horn Concerto
You often see Jeff Garza at the back of the orchestra, leading the San Antonio Symphony horn section, but this weekend, you'll have the chance to hear Jeff also shine in a concerto, out in front of the orchestra!
As lawmakers gaveled into session on Tuesday, a group known as the Texas Nationalists gathered peacefully outside the state capitol building.
Cary Wise, an active member of the group in his hometown near Beaumont, traveled with dozens of other people who want Texas to become an independent nation.
They feel government has gotten too big so Wise and fellow Texas Nationalists would like lawmakers to craft a bill that would put a secession option before voters.
An Article 32 hearing is underway at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in the case against Tech. Sgt. Jaime Rodriguez, who ran an Air Force recruiting office in Lake Jackson, Texas, south of Houston.
Rodriguez faces a possible life sentence on allegations that he made unwanted sexual contact with more than a dozen young women who once considered joining the Air Force.
The charges ranging from indecent conduct to sodomy and rape. He is accused of sending almost a thousand emails to one alleged victim, many with nude or suggestive photos of himself attached.
The Eagle Ford Shale project is expected to be the world's largest natural gas exploration project in the next three years, so Frio County Commissioners are working toward a master plan for economic development needed by the community.
After the 83rd Texas Legislature was gaveled in, the Senate nominated Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, to the position of senate president pro tempore.
Longtime friend and Senate colleague Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, officially named Van de Putte to hold the third highest position in the state, after Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
Le Vent Du Nord, a music group from Quebec, Canada, celebrate ten years of playing music with their latest release, "Tromper Le Temps."
Dressed uniformly and walking in a large group, students from the Texas Legislative Internship Program learn the halls of the Texas State Capitol building and find out where the cafeteria is located.
They will soon become very familiar with the offices, and even more with proposed bills. But Tina Tran, who runs the program, said their job is also somewhat stereotypical of an intern.
When the 150 members of the Texas House of Representatives gavel into session Tuesday, Republican Speaker Joe Straus will be looking to keep his seat as the top man; to do so he only needs a simple majority: 76 votes.
However, he does have a challenger: Republican David Simpson from Longview. It is only Simpson's second term as a representative, but the former businessman was also mayor of the City of Avinger in 1993.

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
21st Avenue Shop Ride
It should not come as a surprise to anyone that anytime we organize a ride there are a plethora of Rapha jerseys that appear. This is always fun, as we are into our eighth year there are plenty of jerseys to go around. However, it is pleasantly surprising when it happens on other rides. This spring 21st Avenue Bicycles have been organizing a shop ride each Thursday — depart around 6:30pm. At the start of the ride this past Thursday we lined up for the customary pre-ride photo and noticed that each and every one of us were wearing a different Rapha jersey.
The ride wound up through the Saltzman and Springville climbs but the occurrence sparked a good bit of conversation. They were apt representations of the life-span of this company and each person had their own version of how they came to each one. There were jerseys from the current collection, such as John's Club Jersey in Lime and Cream. Otis was holding it down for Rapha Racing Northwest in his team kit, while Cindy looked smashing in her Red Classic Jersey. Then there was Joe and Jacob in Etape's 1 & 2. Simon and Kyle were holding it down with styles a few years old and America water bottles. Myself? I still have a soft spot in my heart for this Blue Club Jersey from a couple years ago. It was my very first Rapha Jersey and I can't help but have fresh legs when I pull it on over my head. I like to think the two are related.
We swooped up another rider along the way, Ben, and while he wasn't privy to the dress code (how could he know?) It was still great to pick up a new rider along the way that was excited to ride. His jersey was an interesting one in and of itself, the Veloshop, founded right here in Portland is an iconic jersey that is easily recognizable on any of the roads here.
Great riding with everyone in the fading summer sunshine, hope to see everyone back out there this Thursday. I'm particularly curious to see what everyone is wearing this time around.

I created this group because I've found that it's very difficult for young Catholic adults to meet other people who share their values. There are a few parish groups here and there, but not a whole lot that cater to the 20-30's crowd, and there are virtually no groups at all (at least in Orange County) that gather simply to enjoy the company of other Catholics. Trying to live a good life can be very tiring and lonely in a culture that doesn't support you in your efforts. The aim of this group is …

I bought this stool/side table after checking out similar products at that well-known Swedish big box store. Although this one was almost twice as much as those other ones, it was definitely worth it! The top is solid wood, a light to medium tone, and the base is matte black metal. Assembly consisted of screwing on the table top (one minute), placing the bolt to hold the top in place (30 seconds), & putting the rubber protectors on the three legs (again, 30 seconds). I didn't even need instructions. I also have to say that I've NEVER received a product that was wrapped so well. EVERYTHING was wrapped extremely well. Not a scratch on anything. This is a no-brainer.
I purchased this stool for my kids to use at the piano. They needed something higher than the bench, but slightly different heights from each other. This allows each of them to quickly be at the right place. It's very well constructed, and blends in nicely - not too modern, not too traditional. It was packaged very well. I'm glad I had a heads up about the blue grease from other reviewers, so assembly was trouble free. Great product at an even better price!
Firstly, this stool is well packed. I was a little concerned that I was going to ruin the finish on the base trying to remove the very tightly taped gauzy protective wrap. Be careful! Assembly was a breeze and the instructions couldn't be more clear. Do heed the words of others and wipe off excess blue grease from base while assembling. I'm very happy with this stool. It's better looking than I though it would be and is just right for sitting at an art table or an easel. I looked for this style stool at this height for some time. Most are designed for counters or bars and cannot go lower than 24 inches. This one works best in the 18-22 inch range, which is exactly what I wanted. Others state that it wobbles when fully extended, so perhaps not ideal as a counter stool.
I needed a certain size stool for the desk that I use my portable sewing machine at, and this does the trick. I needed one that had decent up and down range so that it could fit back under the desk when not in use, and not stick out...a very tall order. I also wanted one that had a small seat since I sit on the edge of a stool when I sew, and the big cushiony stools now days are just too cumbersome. A snap to assemble, and I heeded the advice of another reviewer about the grease. My only complain is that it does have a slight wobble to the stool top, when it is elevated..very slight, so not enough to make me not want to keep it. The wood finish on the top actually closely matches the finish on the desk.
This stool is a great addition to our kitchen. My partner and I both have bad legs and now can sit and chop or work at the stove sitting down. A lifesaver for us. Saves us a huge amount of suffering standing in the kitchen. The product is sturdy and well made and well worth the money I paid. I am very happy with this purchase.
I'm very happy with these stools. I have an eating area that is lower than counter height but taller than table height. These worked great and am glad I bought them. I did find it a little tricky to screw in the stool feet; however eventually I got them all even.
Very comfortable, looks nice, and was easy to put together. And as others have said, really, really well-packaged.
great stool and fit my need perfectly (adjustable height) very nice looking and sturdy.
This was a good purchase. We needed a piano stool for a growing teenager, and this will work very well. I like the fact that this adjusts without hydraulics, because I've read those can give out. I also like that they included a bolt that will prevent the top from unscrewing the entire way as a safety element -- that, to me, illustrates they thought this product through. I think I spent more time getting it unpacked than I did assembling.
Picture is deceptive...looks like a 4 leg base. Stool only has 3 legs, which will mean easy tipping.
