Is this the greatest movie ever made?
By a customer from Poole , 20 Sep 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
An all time classic. If you haven?t seen this movie yet, ensure that it is top of your list. It tells the story of wrongly accused murderer, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), and his story of survival inside a maximum security prison, aided by his friendship with 'the only guilty man inside Shawshank', Ellis 'Red' Reddings (Morgan Freeman). Along the way it branches into at least six different side stories that, halfway through the movie, while still entertained, one wonders what they have to do with the plot. The answer is everything, as becomes apparent by the end.
I won't bore you with details of the individual craftsmanship that went into this movie, but I will advise anyone who has not seen it to see it, and as soon as possible. Keep watching until the end, and there is no possible way you can be disappointed. It is absolutely masterly directed by Frank Darabont, and while I thought that his other Stephen King-based film, The Green Mile, was fairly slow and self-indulgent, this isn't. It is drawn out and long, but absolutely impeccable and amazingly inspirational. It delivers the message that even in the face of abject adversity, hope will always prevail. This message was recently hammed up quite terribly in 'The Two Towers', but in The Shawshank Redemption, just one very simple quote sums it up: 'Hope is a good thing. Possibly the best thing. And no good thing ever dies'
This is one for the ages. I cannot imagine that the uplifting effect of this movie will ever die. There is no possible way it could be better. The only possible reason I can think of for not liking or being inspired by this movie is that you just don't want to. There are no two ways about it. Even after nine years, this holds strong as an absolute masterpiece of film-making, and a staggering achievement.- Was this review helpful to you?

Greatest Film Ever Made By Far!!!
By Darth_Tribal (1 review) , 18 May 2013Absolutley the best movie of all time as far as I'm concerned! Sadly nothing can describe the power behind it though. The story, the script, the acting, the score (which adds to the feel and atmoshphere like you wouldn't believe) are all top notch. In fact screw writing this review I'm going to just watch it again.- Was this review helpful to you?

Shawshank briliance
By topbizniz (14 reviews) from London , 16 May 2013This is an excellent film. You wouldn't necessarily associate this kind of drama with Stephen King, however when you see some of the darker elements of the psychology of prison life you can see his influence. Gritty drama but well worth the watch- Was this review helpful to you?

If you thought the Cold War was over—that long nuclear standoff that shaped the last five decades of the 20th century—think again. Following his American counterpart, and perhaps prompted by new tensions over the war in Georgia and the agreement between the U.S. and Poland to deploy a missile defense system there, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has announced plans to upgrade that country's "nuclear deterrent" by 2020.
It's part of a full upgrade for the Russian armed forces: more nuclear-powered subs, better bombs as well as their own "air and space defense network". "Star wars" has at last come to a galaxy not so far away.
The move prompted U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice to boast that the U.S. possesses an "extremely capable, robust, broad and indeed varied nuclear deterrent," according to an interview with Reuters. That no doubt includes not only the hit-or-miss missile defense effort but also plans to build new nuclear weapons and the industrial complex that develops and fabricates them.
At the same time, the U.S. has given its tacit approval to India's uninvited entry into the ever less exclusive nuclear weapons club; the Congress* approved a deal that would give India access to U.S. nuclear know-how for the first time since the Asian democracy exploded an atomic bomb in 1974.
The deal would neuter international treaties on nuclear testing and nonproliferation, according to critics, or simply make a special exception for India, according to proponents.
The deal is aimed only at bolstering India's nuclear power industry, a technology which other developing countries such as Egypt, Vietnam and even the oil-rich Persian Gulf states (especially Iran) have expressed interest in pursuing (or are pursuing). In order to fend off concurrent nuclear weapon proliferation—because running civilian nuclear reactors also produces the radioactive elements required for an atomic bomb—the science academies in both the U.S. and Russia argue in a new report that similar exceptions must be made for these countries.
Instead of allowing them to develop domestic nuclear capabilities, though, the scientists from the two leading nuclear powers argue that internationally controlled facilities should produce the world's fissile fuel—and take back the radioactive waste / bomb material at the end of its useful power-generating life.
In other words, the atomic age is approaching critical mass again.

At appears that humans have difficulty learning from experience in more complex environments... Technical advances can be written down, step by step, analysed, revised and retried. In simpler social societies stories were told as a means to pass on "how to...". The stories had to make sense in context and usually were not completely divorced from the experience of the audience.
Now, however, the "story" does not seem to have to make logical sense. For example the "story" that President Reagan "single handed" defeated the USSR. That HE was responsible for the down-fall of our "Arch Enemy" all alone!
As long as enough people still cling to the notion of a "Super-Man" leader that can do such things and powerfull groups that find it advantageous to support such notions; the same groups best situated to say "well, that is not exactly...." and be listened to. I can't really fault people for wanting to believe in the possibility of such rescue but I can fault those that are our "leaders" who do not actually lead but try to find out which way we would like to be able to go and say Sure, we can, follow ME.
I think controlling nuclear proliferation should be our nations number one priority. The 'no return address' nukes and the nations with extremeists governments like iran should be job number one. The war on drugs, the economy, global warming, the energy and health care crisis are all important issues which wouldnt matter much if terrorist were to obtain nuclear wepaons. Sometimes you need to put things aside and concentrate on the most pressing life threating issues first.
A nuke in the hands of a freak like Bin Ladin would put alot more lives at risk than 9-11. An extremist government like the one in Iran obtaining nuclear technology would lead to war in the middle east with Isreal and a very real possibility of a nuclear exchange. We need to put this ahead of other issues IMO becasue once we have a nuclear detonation on Amercian soil it will be too late to blame the government for not taking more action.
Nuclear proliferation should be the hot topic for the election so we can tell the government to do more before all we can do is point our finger at the governement for not taking action sooner.

Understanding Arthritis
Fresh air, warm sunlight caressing your face, early morning stretches that—cracks. Waking up every morning used to be something to look forward to; not when you have arthritis. The mere thought of standing up can make you want to stay in bed the whole day. Stiffness that occurs in a certain part of your body, if not all, can numb you of life's revitalizing goodness.

Worth a visit, not least because it's free and a nice way to spend an hour or so. The cafe is the star though and very much worth going to for coffee and cake.
Lovely visit and very interesting museum it's well laid out the cafe is very comprehensive stocked and contemporary I have not seen so many tea options! A must see and a good place to visit before or after the Pavillion that takes centre stage in this part of Brighton
The staff were super friendly and it's free to get in. It's pretty small but it's really varied and well maintained. The collection was beautiful and the toy area was really interestingly laid out. Also you can sneakily have sex in the back of the cinema bit. ;) :')
The cafe is comfortable and the lunches and tea time trests are wonderful. A really nice place to have near to our house
Much better than expected. Situated outside of Hove center it's a quiet oasis of art, collections and technology. A very good camera collection with plenty of information about the early days of moving pictures and colour photography. Some very good presentations and hands on stuff for kids. Worth a visit when in Brighton & Hove.
I visit this gallery every time i go to Brighton (annually/bi-annually) but sadly it never changes...pretty much the same exhibitions all the time and on the rare occasion something different comes along, its pricey...The history of Brighton is really interesting though, definitely worth a couple of hours wandering round.
Hove Museum is lovely and the BLUE! exhibition is well worth a visit. It's free, the staff are lovely and the pretty tea room is a treat.
This is a small museum/gallery that benefits from some very well thought out exhibits. On our visit the main theme was colour and blue. Imaginative colourful displays, interesting for adults and children. NB we thought café was a bit pricey
I came here with my father for the cafe which serves about 20 different types of tea, quite a few coffees and great looking cakes. We had soup and a jacket which were lovely BUT the service was so slow! So do not come in here for food if you are in a rush. As far as the museum goes... More
Nice museum with few but interesting items. Free admissions and fascinating crafts and history of cinema. A good way to spend some quality family time together on a budget.

It is a common misconception, greatly enforced by TV & the movies, that people who are evil have been their way their whole lives.

Whose heart is black as ebony
And is a fearsome enemy
But, my sweet love, they cannot see
How, in my mind, I've rescued thee
From a life of sin & iniquity
That otherwise you could never flee
I was the one who purged your soul
And the same girl who made you whole
Don't let my labor be in vain
Alex, darling, with me remain!
It pains my heart when I realize
I will never see your eyes
So startlingly deep & crystal-blue
Oh, Alex, why can't I love you?
When wondrous dreams affect my sleep
Of you making sweet love to me
I feel so calm & safe from harm
When I'm in your loving arms
And when the dreams end & I wake
Tears spring from my eyes & I start to shake
I weep & moan so miserably
Knowing you will never love me!
If only I could touch your face
And linger in your sweet embrace
Then all my pain would disappear

The year of 1990 was welcomed by people across the globe with dazzling fireworks, delightful parades, merry music, & colorful lights. Clocks chimed the midnight hour everywhere, & as Old Granddaddy rang its broken bell to announce the time, Alex, Angela, Philip, & Sheila cheered & tossed confetti into the air. Welcome to the New Year! Philip shouted festively, taking out a rainbow-colored noisemaker & tooting on it.
Sheila sighed wistfully as a dreamy, pensive look appeared on her face. I cant believe its 1990 already, she said. My, how time seems to fly so quickly... She ran a hand through the curly hairs of her purple wig in her reminiscent daze, letting her chest heave with another sigh.

1. What was the situation that created this character?
In the spring of 2006, shortly after I had first gotten into writing fanfiction for A Clockwork Orange, I began jotting down ideas for different stories. As it turned out, one of these drabbles, A Spark Of Good, was the first to be developed & worked upon. The original draft of the fanfic was written as a romance novella in which Alex DeLarge fell in love with Angela & became evil after she was killed by Alex's enemy Billyboy. On one night in late September of 2006, I discussed the story outline for A Spark Of Good with Irene Relda, who graciously lent me some of her ideas & gave me important information concerning Alex & ACO that I could incorporate into

An hour had passed, but thankfully, the girl had managed to make it through her ordeal as she slumbered peacefully on the living room couch, nestled in thick blankets.

Fudgy Chocolate Stout Cake
Author Notes: This is one of the easiest things in the world to bake. These egg-free, dairy-free cakes always fascinate me. In Shirley Corriher's book BakeWise, (a fascinating book for the baking-obsessed) she has a similar recipe for Crazy Cake, and she mentions the importance of the water getting to the flour before the oil does or the cake may not hold together well. Very science-y, but I believe her! So I added my oil at the end. Her method is the mix-in-the-pan kind. I prefer the separate bowl method, because then you get to lick the bowl, which after all, is half the fun of making a cake! Adapted from the Double Chocolate Cake recipe in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Makes enough batter for 1 dozen cupcakes. - mrslarkin - mrslarkin
Food52 Review: The words chocolate and stout grabbed me before even I realized this was a no-dairy recipe. I had this crazy notion that the best baked goods involved eggs, but this fantastic cake proved me wrong. Plus, it couldn't have been easier to make: With the exception of the beer – I used bottled Guinness Extra Stout – all ingredients are probably in your pantry and the batter comes together in minutes. The cake has a surprisingly light texture and deep chocolate flavor with a slightly bitter edge from the stout and coffee. I couldn't resist a piece barely cooled from the oven, washed down with the rest of the stout. Yum! - Midge - Midge
Serves 2 chocoholics or 8 normal people
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons cocoa powder, not dutched
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Guinness Stout
- 1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon apple cider or white vinegar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set oven rack to middle. Grease an 8" cake pan with cooking spray, then line with parchment and lightly spray the parchment. (This is in case you decide to remove cake from pan and frost completely. But usually we just frost the top and eat it right out of the pan.)
- Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a measuring cup, mix together stout, coffee, water, vanilla and vinegar. Stir into the flour mixture a few turns, then add your oil and combine until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour into prepared pan. Place in oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check with cake tester, which should come out very slightly moist. Remove from oven and let cool on rack.
- Turn out onto cake plate. Peel off the parchment and lick off the stuck-on fudgy layer - I won't tell. Dust cake with powdered sugar, or cover with frosting. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
- Alternatively, this recipe makes 1 dozen cupcakes. Bake for 18 - 23 minutes. Cool cupcakes. Frost with your favorite frosting or dip tops into a simple icing made of confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder and coffee. Decorate top with a fresh coffee bean while icing is still tacky.

This cake is lovely! It has a really comforting, boxed-mix (in a great way of course) taste and a light, springy texture. I threw in a couple of floured chocolate chips in there and used vanilla soy milk instead of stout (didn't have any)

I plan on making this cake but all I have is dutched cocoa valhrona and biernsdorp can I use a dutched cocoa? If I can is there anything I need to do with the recipe to compensate for this type of cocoa or should I go get a regular cocoa?
over 2 years ago
Mrs. Larkin is a trusted source on Baking.
I've never tried this recipe with dutched cocoa. In a lot of baking, when using Dutch process cocoa in place of regular cocoa, you may have to change the leavening to baking powder since the dutched cocoa has had it's acidity reduced. But in this recipe, the coffee, beer and vinegar are acidic so it might work as is. If you don't want to go out and buy new cocoa, keep the baking soda, and try adding a teaspoon of baking powder, too. Of course, I could be completely wrong. Good luck! P.S. here's an informative thread from foodpickle: http://www.food52.com/foodpickle...

Thanks MrsLarkin, I never really quite understood the dutched vs regular or natural except for the alkaline. I guess I could use Hershey's in a pinch. I'll let you know how it comes out. Thanks I'll check out the thread.

Will TLR's Big Donors Bankroll Karl Rove's anti-Conservative Smear Campaign?
As noted by Erick Erickson here at RedState and by a number of other media outlets, Karl Rove has decided he wants to play kingmaker in Republican primaries across America.

From a theoretical standpoint I can't add too much to this debate, but when I was writing an extension to Mathew Walls GALib (a genetic algorithms library) I used MPI to implement a collection of "Island Model" genetic algorithms. Initially, I took no steps to make sure that the random number pools didn't overlap other than using different seeds (node id along with time) on each node. Mathew's library implements the famous ran2 from numerical recipes. However, when I finally did implement a leapfrog method for guaranteeing disjoint sets, my solutions began to converge much more quickly. So my guess is that making sure that I had unique pools did help in my case. Clearly GAs are one of the more RNG intensive applications, but I think there is a case for using a leapfrog method on small clusters or if your random number generator permits it, a look ahead technique that allows you to partition your pseudo random number space on a per node basis. Or use of the SPRNG library which was mentioned earlier. Cheers, Bryce >I was assuming a sophisticated RNG. With such, the likelyhood of >identical seeds is very low, exactly the same as correlation within the >number stream. Anyone that needs a cluster to generate random numbers >will be far beyond using a LFSR with a small seed. > >I'll even put forth a hand-waving argument that multiple machines will >be working from a much richer entropy pool, and thus generate better >quality numbers. > > > >

Posted: Jan 14, 2013 11:51 PM by Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture is announcing new loans of up to $35,000 for those who want to start or expand small farms.
Agriculture Department Secretary Tom Vilsack said Monday that the new "microloans" are designed to help bolster family-run farms and help veterans or socially disadvantaged farmers who may otherwise have trouble securing small loans from banks or other USDA programs.
Vilsack spoke with The Associated Press ahead of an official announcement Tuesday.
The loans can help farmers seeking to grow organic crops to sell directly to ethnic and farmers markets. Vilsack says they also can help beginning farmers cover startup expenses such as seed, tools, irrigation, fertilizer and delivery vehicles.
The microloan program also provides a more simplified application process in comparison with traditional farm loans.

Hearing emotional stories
Tuesday, April 10th, 2012I was worried that the theme for the last Odyssey Storytelling, "Sliced and Diced: the Surgery Show," would scare people away. Lots of people are squeamish about hearing "organ recitals" – stories with gory details about medical procedures. I did not know who would be attracted to hear the stories and I really didn't know who would be interested in telling.
I had quite a surprise at the rehearsal for the show. Associate Producer Adam Hostetter was curator and that means that he gathered the storytellers together either by responding to inquiries or by actively searching them out. The diversity of the stories was stunning and the tellers were equally sincere in telling some astonishing tales.
But it was "heavy" – so much so that I shed a tear or two through a few tellings. As founder of Odyssey and producer for the past 8 years, I am very protective of the audience and I want everyone to have a "good time." After the rehearsal I confided to Adam and Associate Producer Sarah K. Smith that I felt I should put a warning label on the website, an "R" rating, as it were, to indicate adult themes that included violence and carnage. They were both appalled that I would do such a thing. They had much more confidence in the ability of the listeners to make their own decisions.
And they knew that audience members want to be moved; to have an authentic experience. That's why the audience is there – even if it involves dealing with difficult subjects. In the past we have heard stories about cruelty and fear, hostility and acts of vengeance along side of stories of redemption, charity and love. So what was my problem?
Upon reflection I had to admit that I was the skittish one when it comes to "slicing and dicing" and I was projecting my fears on the audience. They, of course, rose to the occasion and were appropriately appreciative of the depth of feelings expressed.
Maybe my own subliminal feelings were at work when I created this poster for the event. Creepy, right?
My take-home lesson is to listen to my own words when I insert this disclaimer in the monthly program:
Storytelling is a way to make connections with diverse and different people that you may not meet in your everyday life. Because people are telling stories from their lives they may be amazing, messy, enlightening, disturbing, profound and entertaining. Our storytellers have guidelines but they are uncensored.

By Michael Futch Staff writer
A real estate investment firm continues to evaluate the future of Marketfair Mall, nearly four months after the purchase of the long-troubled property.
In November, Westport Capital Partners LLC announced its purchase of the 250,000-square-foot mall on Skibo Road from foreclosing lender Capmark Finance LLC of New York. The terms were not disclosed, but Cumberland County tax records indicated the property sold for $13.3 million.
"Everything is being evaluated and numbers are being run, and various scenarios are being looked at," Scott Chernoff, principal at Westport, said this week. "These things take time to evaluate."
At the time of the Nov. 20 sale, Westport principals said they would "immediately implement an aggressive leasing and marketing program, along with property upgrades and enhancements that will soon establish Marketfair Mall as a premier retail destination in this market."
In January, the chief operating officer with the menswear store Ashby's said she had seen a blueprint of a renovated Marketfair Mall. Those plans, she said, include expansion of the anchoring Carmike 15 movie theater, along with an IMAX-style screen. The plans also called for two upscale restaurants behind stores HH Gregg and Gander Mountain and a new mall anchor on the wing facing Morganton Road.
Chernoff wouldn't comment on any plans in the works.
"At this point, we don't have any details or any comments. Once we determine what ... could be done with the property, and it's feasible, we'll have further conversation," he said."
Westport Capital Partners, with offices in Los Angeles and Wilton, Conn., specializes in "opportunistic" real estate.
Marketfair was built for $10 million in 1985, about a decade after Cross Creek Mall opened.

Uncle Jack's Steakhouse - Midtown 56th Street
Online Reservations
From the moment we sat down, Sean our Captain, was authentically welcoming and provided exceptional service, along with the entire staff. Having recommended a wine that they didn't have, he brought a more expensive bottle and charged for the original. A five dollar high class move. He also was incredibly knowledgable of the menu and provided great guidance.. Great company certainly helped, however as some are oft to complain about ever slight infractions, I am happy to say this was a flawlessly executed, incredibly tasty watermark of what all dining experiences should be. I'll most definitely be back for the lamb appetizer, wonderfully cooked porterhouse, creamed spinach and great wine :).
Requested quiet corner table, got exactly that, the food is always very good but this time it was truly remarkable. We visit New York city from the uk, always UNCLE JACKS.
The dinner at Uncle Jacks was the highlight of the weekend. All food afterwards just could not match. This was our 25th wedding anniversary weekend and we received. Complimentary desert with a candle.
We celebrated my son's 18th birthday and it was a feast to remember. The atmosphere was so warm, the waiters were true professionals, yet not stuffy in the least, and the food top notch from start to finish. We've been to many of the top name steak houses throughout the city, and we agreed that this one gets put on top of our list.
I've eaten in many NY and Chicago steakhouses and I have to say this was one of the best NY Strip steaks I've ever eaten. It was cooked perfectly (Ilike it medium) with plenty of juices on the plate and coming out of the steak. The mashed potatoes and spinach were also great side dishes. Surprisingly, the prices were more reasonable than in many other steakhouses.
Uncle Jack's ambience and interior is comfortable but yet elegant. All the personnel are beyond courteous, professional, informational and friendly. They serve you with excellence. The maitre d recommended their clam cakes and lamb chop appetizers and they were both outstanding in taste and texture. Their succulent prime rib and filet were tender and seasoned perfectly. Presentation was beautiful. It is a "must" don't leave New York without eating at Uncle Jack's Restaurant.
We visited Uncle Jack's Steakhouse for my husband's birthday after seeing Jersey Boys and making it a fun day in the City. It was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! Everything from our captain (what they call servers here), to the ambiance, to the wine menu to the food itself was outstanding. There isn't a thing I would change about our visit. We were so thrilled with everything. What was even more astonishing is that I had several questions about the menu and asked our extremely knowledgeable captain who explained the menu to me and then I found out he'd only been there 8 days (but been working in upscale Manhattan steakhouses for years) - he was fantastic! We were even comped dessert samplers. We can't wait to go back!!
Had a fine meal well prepared meat, good appetizers, salads and excellent side dishes. For some reason they never brought us the wine list, although we did not ask. Attentive service - reserved but efficient. Overall 4.8 of 5. For the quality, service and overall ambiance the price was reasonable and the evening was excellent.
We had an outstanding meal and service. However, two large business meetings were taking place on opposite sides of the restaurant. I felt like we were in a business meeting (which is not how I want to feel on vacation). Our waiter was kind enough to move us as far away from the meeting as possible. When I return, it will be on a weekend to avoid the business atmosphere.
If I were allowed 1 last meal in this life, the meal I ate at Uncle Jack's would be one of my top three choices.
Watching Restaurant Stakeout I had to see for myself how truly the service was at Uncle Jack's Steakhouse and I was amazed. Didn't mind spending the cash when you get first class experience. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was unbelievable. The best filet mignon I ever had. Definitely we are returning. Thank you!
Celebrating my husband's birthday. We love steakhouses and decided to give Uncle Jack's a try, plus we are fan of Restaurant Stakeout also. We were not dissapointed one bit, the food was amazing, the Kobe beef meatballs were out of this world, the filet mignon was extraordinary and the 5 chesse mac & cheese was to die for. Our waiter was very attentive, but not pushy. thank you Uncle Jack for making our first experience at your restaurant great. We will definitely be back..
Best steak I've had in NYC in years, maybe ever! Great meal, great wine, great service Highly recommend
Service at Uncle Jack's was outstanding. only outdone by the quality of the dinner. We split the "flintstone" bone in rib eye and we still had left overs. The waitstaff was super attentive, but not in the way.
Lunchtime, nice bar, quiet, so I sat at the end and enjoyed the lunch portion of the Norwegian Salmon grilled to perfection. For the salmon I would come back, that is how wonderful it tasted. I overheard a guest next to me order a salad chopped, and the bartender advised a waiter and entered it into the computer. After a few minutes , the waiter returned and bartender the chef said no way to her request. She immediatley went to the kitchen and shortly after her return, the chopped bean and tomato salad was served to a smiling customer. Kudoos to Alexandra, the lovely and most pofessional bartender!
There were 4 in our party. We had an excellent experience. Our server was a little condescending, but the overall experience was great. Would definitely go again.
My wife's steak was great. Mine was overcooked and fairly tasteless. Salads were great. Baked potato was perfect. Vegetable was under-cooked. Service was terrific. Despite one steak overcooked, we cold return to try this restaurant again.
Just might be the best porterhouse steak i ever had! Service was great.
The service was outstanding. Everything from the knowledge of the menu to recommendations and the presentation of the dishes. Food was great, I ate so much I felt like I was going to the "chair".
We dined at Uncle Jacks for a special occasion. Everyone loved it so much we went again on our short trip. Everything was fantastic. Our table was ready at the time of our reservation. After seating, we were greeted promptly, the courses were timed perfectly, and the food was delicious!
Food and service exceptional. Crab Cakes out of this worls
Uncle Jack's is a great place to dine. This was our second visit. For an app I ordered the mozzarella and tomato salad - it was the best mozz I've ever eaten! My entree was the prime rib sandwich and my husband ordered the kobe beef meatloaf. We both loved our meals! The service was excellent and quick.
Our grand-daughter met us in New York City to celebrate her 22nd Birthday. She is in College working on a degree in Restaurant/Hotel Management. Her classes had use some of the Restaurant Stakeout TV shows on how to provide customer service, so she was excited to visit Uncle Jack's Steakhouse. She is a steak lover over and over, all of her favorite restaurants serve a good steak. She was looking forward to a great steak. When served her steak, she cut into it and after her first bite her face lit-up with a big smile. She exclaimed this is the best steak I have ever tasted. She was impressed with the service provided by the waitstaff.
Very good Steaks and Seafood. The waiter was very helpful on wine recommendations and information provided on the menu. Excellent service, but not intrusive. We were never rushed.
We enjoyed our meal..........steaks to perfection and a great wine list......we were so full we did not order dessert,,,,,guess what,,,,,,great sample desserts were given to us on the house! Would highly recommend.....a bit noisy so don't look for quiet dining here.
Get the maple glazed bacon, so good! The porterhouse for two was great as well!
If there's ever a five-star restaurant, then this place is it! Best food and service!
Service was relaxed and friendly... which is in general nice... we were not rushed.... but service not attentive to our needs/timing. Let us sit after finished eating without offering dessert or bringing check for over 20 minutes, another 10-15 minutes before came back with credit cards.
Excellent restaurant, food was phenomenal and the service was outstanding!
So 4 of us spent $500 on our pre-broadway play dinner. Yes, that included a $70 bottle of wine, but this place is too pricey for me. Food was really good, excellent service and a pleasant experience though.
My boyfriend and I went out to celebrate a special day. We are very Happy we chose Uncle Jack's. Perfect choice to make a special night Better. Highly recommend!
We are fans of Restaurant Steakhouse and like Willie's philosophy of taking care of the customer so we wanted to try his restaurant to see if it really did live up to that philosophy and it did. The restaurant is beautiful and elegant without feeling stuffy. The staff were professional and didn't make us feel out of place in our casual attire, despite the fact that they were dressed up very nice.
We expected a lot from a steakhouse in Manhattan. However, they exceeded even what we were expecting. The restaurant itself is standard in decoration. However, they had a really nice wine list (including some half bottles which works for me because my wife and I have different wine tastes). Their menu isn't that ultramodern menu which we appreciated. Basic good choices for steaks but lots of specials and plenty of non-beef choices. Bottom line, my wife and I shared the porterhouse which I definitely recommend as it was probably the best I have ever had! But even more than the steak, we took our 13 year old daughter for her birthday - she declared their macaroni and cheese the best she ever had! And the bacon appetizer. . .yum!
I have never had such attentive service in a restaurant before. All my needs were met and my expectations were surpassed. I am a server at a restaurant, so I understand the business. They will take great care of you at Uncle Jack's. The food is amazing, too, especially the salmon and sweet potato fries.
I had a group of 6 for dinner. The only 'issue' was they had set our table for 5 and they rapidly fixed that. After that, it was the finest in comfortable dining. We loved the wait staff!!
Took my daughter (15) here after seeing a show and it was the perfect ending to the day. We had a marvelous time. Wait staff can be a little overzealous but it wasn't terribly crowded when we were there so I'm sure they were all free to fill our waters every time we took a sip haha. I highly recommend the NY Strip. Better than the filet even. Enjoy!
Everything was perfect - impeccable service and delicious food. Wouldn't change a thing!
Great place to eat. Food and service was wonderful. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion. It is a little pricey but well worth the money.
We went to Jacks to Celebrate our Son's engagement. We were with our Son, his fiancee, our nephew and his girlfriend. From the minute we walked in we were greeted with a very friendly hostess. Our sever was excellent. We had everything from appetizers to dessert. We have been to many FAMOUS Steakhouses and this was one of the best. Will return again.
We had an early dinner prior to a show and really enjoyed Uncle Jack's. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the taste was fantastic. One in our party enjoyed the Lamb Shank special, also really good.
Just a consistently great steak house. Have frequented many times for dinner. This was my first time for lunch. Same experience. great food, great service.
The service and food was excellent. We enjoyed some of the best steaks we have ever had in NYC. This was a nice business dinner.
Every aspect of our dining experience was excellent. The service was wonderful. The meal was outstanding, especially the mac and cheese. And it was my sister's birthday and they brought her out a little chocolate cake with a lit candle at the end of our meal.
The steaks are great here and the service was good. This location is a bit smaller thank the one on 9th but no difference in the overall taste of the food.
This is our second time at Uncle Jack's and it is Amazing! The staff can't do enough for you, and the food (especially the steaks) are PERFECT! We went there (55th St) when my son got engaged in 2012 and decided to revisit again for my wife's birthday this year! It only gets BETTER! Willie really does practice when he preaches!
Was a great place to eat service was outstanding food was the best i ever had will return
Everyone was very attentive. Eric was the Captain and did an excellent job along with all the folks that took care of us. Had eaten at Uncle Jack's on Eighth Avenue in August and I believe I prefer this location over the other. Not that the other was bad, I guess I just liked the layout better for this location.
Uncle jacks was amazing! The Christmas ambiance made my romantic date even more romantic! The service was great the waitstaff friendly and gave great suggestions! My boyfriend and I shared the porterhouse which was to die for. I highly suggest the Mac and cheese with the bacon! We will be coming back on another romantic date here
We had a party of 6, including 2 children, and the wait staff were friendly and attentive all evening. Even though we shared dinners the waiters were very accommodating. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the Holidays and the food, wine and cocktails were excellent. Even though chocolate milk wasn't on the menu for the 4 year old, the waiter made the chocolate milk for him. We all agreed that we would be back. The main reason we tried Uncle Jack's is that we were watching Willie on the FOOD NETWORK and were impressedby the way that he helped other chefs improve their menus and their overall restaurants. Our granddaughter was hoping that we could have met him since she wants to be a chef.
Service and atmosphere was perfection. I had a filet that was cooked to perfection. My fiancé had a strip that was just a little tough.... But we will absolutely be going back.

I've noticed that there's usually a difference between the number of conversion reported by Google AdWords and the equivalent count in Google Analytics, despite the two accounts being fully integrated.
I've a theory to explain it as follows:
Google AdWords, in an attempt to maximise its apparent value, uses cookies to track conversions, meaning that it is able to attribute a sale to AdWords for several weeks to come, even if the customer finally returns via another channel.
For example, it's common for the conversion count for last month to continue to increase slowly for several weeks after. This can only be because people who first clicked on an AdWords ad last month have just returned to buy.
My understanding of Google Analytics however, is that it's set to 'last source wins' as standard i.e. if a customer first visits our site via Google AdWords, but then later returns via the natural listings, Google Analytics will attribute the sale to SEO, rather than to the PPC campaigns.
This would explain why AdWords reports more conversions than Google Analytics, despite similarities in their underlying technology, but are my assumptions correct?
Can any analytics specialists please confirm that this is how the tracking of these Google products works?
AdWords cookies last 30 days apparently: http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=bs&answer=6349
Also, since writing my original post on conversion counting discrepancies, I've received confirmation theory from a Google Group admin that that is indeed how it works.

i want to ask your optinion
is this a good news or bad news?
Bad News:
Imagine: if you are Adwords marketer,and running many PPC compaigns,but NOW everyone can see EXACTLY what keywords you are bidding on for your campaigns. Do you like it?Good News:
But there are great news too, and it is that now you can see
exactly what your most successful competitors' keywords are.See the video that explains how this new PPC Spy tool
works, and get it, is 100% FREE:A FREE Plug-In for Firefox. Simply amazing.
It allows you to browse Google and view the AdWords keywords
of ANY AdWords advertiser!Basically, it's a small file that gets installed into your
Web browser (i.e. Firefox).When you do a Google search, the software automatically
places a "view keywords" button below every single AdWords
advertiser.Click the "view keywords" button and really neat popup
window appears that not only shows you the keywords that
any AdWords advertiser is bidding on, but it also shows you
a TON of other information, like how much they're paying
per click and so on.It's awesome.
Anyway, here is the link where you can download the
software, and it doesn't cost anything:go see it

Why are my husband and I such fans of The Adjustment Bureau? Perhaps because this film tells our story.
It tells every great love story.
The conceit of a mediocre love story is that Fate brings lovers together. That's just nonsense. Fate tears lovers apart.
The greatest love stories recognize this. Think Orpheus and Eurydice. Think Bonnie and Clyde.
David and Elise, the lovers of The Adjustment Bureau, join the ranks of the exceptional by choosing to give Fate a run for its money.
My husband and I recognize their struggle to stay together against all odds. We live that struggle every day.
The trouble begins with knowing too much.
David (Matt Damon) has the misfortune of peeking behind a curtain he wasn't supposed to know existed; he witnesses his friend and associates having their minds wiped by the dapper, fedora-donning agents of Fate.
The lead agent, or angel, (John Slattery) is kind or cruel enough to explain to David that these poor saps are being "adjusted" so as not to get in the way of David fulfilling his destiny, which is to ascend politically all the way to the White House. The Presidency would fulfill David's greatest ambition. There's just one catch. David can only achieve this goal if he's apart from Elise.
I, too, have been in the unfortunate position of learning my fate. My informants weren't wearing fedoras. They were wearing white coats. And no, they weren't angels. The first was a neurologist, who told me I had multiple sclerosis, which meant my central nervous system was self-destructing, and would most likely continue to do so until the day that I died. Bad news, huh? The second informant had worse news. She was my gynecologist. It was her opinion that I ought not have a child.
Just as David refuses to accept a fate without Elise in The Adjustment Bureau, I refused to accept a fate without a child.
David says to his lover, "I need you to trust me."
I said to my husband, "I need to have a baby."
I'm not going to spoil your enjoyment of The Adjustment Bureau by giving away Elise's response to David's plea.
I'll just tell you how my husband responded to mine. He agreed to fathering our child, in full knowledge of my inevitable decline.
The lead agent urges David to abandon Elise. "If you truly love her, just walk away. If you choose to stay with her, it not only kills your dreams, it kills hers, too."
I won't tell you if David abandons Elise. I trust you can infer my husband did not abandon me. Like David, my husband faced the prospect of giving up his greatest ambition for love. My husband always wanted to become a professional writer. He has a talent for writing stories that reveal his literary influences, which include Samuel Beckett and Philip K. Dick, the author of the short story on which The Adjustment Bureau is based. My husband's stories are not necessarily the sort that would attract great riches or great fame, but rather the sort that would attract a small fan base of passionate, uber-nerdy intellectuals. In other words, he has the sort of talent that wouldn't necessarily pay the rent, and much less the health insurance. With a disabled wife, and a baby on the way, my husband chose to defer the dream of becoming a cult fiction writer, and embrace the reality of a steady job.
Did that mean he gave up?
We've never given up.
I've never given up defying the prognosis. I eventually found myself another neurologist, in another white coat, and she introduced me to a drug which appears to have halted any further decline. The child my gynecologist told me I'd be too disabled to raise is turning out to be healthy and strong. He's fifteen now. Before we know it, he'll be a grown man, out on his own. Once he's grown, my husband might just find the time to write those crazy short stories again. With the life we've lived, his stories are bound to sound a little like Philip K. Dick. And more than a little like Beckett.
We can't go on. We'll go on.

Including:- CSS Selectors and Pseudo-Selectors
- CSS Properties
- CSS Units
- CSS Box Model
Buy Now for just $2!
The CSS cheat sheet is a one-page reference sheet, listing all selectors (as of CSS 2.1) and properties. It includes a visual example of the box model, unit reference for CSS units and the various media types CSS makes allowance for.
What's New?
There are a few small changes from the first version of the CSS Cheat Sheet (which you can still download if you prefer). The most obvious change may be that it now looks different. Hopefully it's now clearer and a little easier to find the information you're looking for.
The content is largely unchanged. The syntax block has been removed, as have the media types - both were, according to feeback, largely useless. Removing them allowed me to change to a three column layout, making the properties lists far more prominent and useful.
Given the number of possible selectors in CSS, it is no wonder some people often become confused. Mixing up ID and Class selectors is easy enough, without throwing sibling, child, attribute and language selectors into the mix. This section of the cheat sheet lists selectors and shows which element(s) those selectors would apply to.
Pseudo-selectors are used when defining styles for elements that either do not exist, or are in a particular state. This section lists various of the pseudo-selectors.
Please note - I have left the :before and :after pseudo-selectors off this list, as I felt generated content was too complex to add to this sheet and still define in a way that made that area of the sheet usable.
CSS allows the author to define dimensions and colours in many different ways, which can be especially useful when combined with media types. This section of the sheet lists the various units in CSS and explains what they mean.
More information on units in CSS.
Box Model
The box model is one thing that consistently trips up those new to CSS. Apart from major browsers not all supporting it correctly, its definition can be at first confusing. The box model section of the page aims to make this clearer.
Properties List
The CSS specification includes a lot or properties, many of which are often forgotten or overlooked. Many of these are shorthand properties, defining many properties in one go. The outside columns of the cheat sheet list all available CSS properties.
