Slow Recession Recovery Predicted
Univest Economist Gary Wolfer says the economy has had six consecutive quarters of positive growth, but recovery is slow compared to previous recessions. "For example, the amount of unemployment that occurred during this last Great Recession is in excess of every postwar recession that we've had. This is not your standard garden variety recession. This really took a toll, specifically on workers in the construction industry. Those jobs I don't think are coming back."
He says he's projecting Gross Domestic Product growth of 3.5 percent or better this year, but it's unlikely the unemployment rate will drop below 9 percent, and the long-term jobless will need re-training. Certified Financial Planner George Toth of Chestnut Investment Advisory in Montgomery County says he agrees that long-term unemployment is a big part of the problem.
"When you have Unemployment Compensation out over two years, and you have more people retiring at 62 and more people going out on disability, I think the damage to the workforce because of this is significant. I have no clue about the efficacy of re-training because that's a function of desire and a function of demand."
Economist Wolfer says the economy is shifting from recovery to expansion, but it will take time.
"In fact we're nowhere near working it off now because we're not in a job creation phase of that recovery. I feel that right now there's not enough credit out there. Credit is just not being created. It's not a matter of interest rates."
He says unemployment is still very high, and companies are not yet ready to start borrowing and hiring, so it could be another two years before the economy is back on track. Financial Planner Toth says smaller companies, with anywhere from a few employees to a few hundred, need to see some sales down the road before they start borrowing and hiring.
"Their demands for credit are a function of demands for their products and services, so if there's no demand for credit that's not surprising because there's no demand for the end products of those companies that are employing people."
Toth says companies are hiring, but only a few people here and there. He and Wolfer appeared Tuesday on a special edition of the WNPV talk program "Comment Please by Univest," looking ahead at the economy in the New Year.

Appearance: Completely black, and has a short, tan 1" head that vanishes quickly. Aroma: Chocolate, malt, and a decent amount of brown sugar. No discernible coffee aroma. Taste: A combination of bitter dark chocolate and malted milk. They don't blend together- I can taste both on my tongue at the same time, each one on its own, complementing but not mingling with the other. This is weird, but a good weird. The dark chocolate has an unusual flavor to it. I'm guessing that's the licorice influence, but since I have no idea what brewers licorice is, I'm going to drink some more of it. Mouthfeel: Thick and clingy. Coats the mouth like an appropriate stout. Overall: This stout is low alcohol (6.0%) but it's a formidable beer on taste alone. The absence of coffee and the presence of dark chocolate, makes this a memorable beer.

If not, write to ;; the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, ;; Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. ;;; Commentary: ;; AWK it! allows you to see AWK output as you are typing the script; ;; it sends selected region to awk and uses yasnippet as interactive UI. ;; There are 3 modes of AWK code: simplified syntax(default, see below), ;; single line AWK syntax (regular AWK syntax but only inside the default ;; match) and raw AWK syntax(full AWK code). AWK it! can transfrom code ;; from one mode to another(not perfect, but it will make an effort) and ;; there is also support for multiple lines. Data is expanded with selected ;; yasnippet expand keybinding. ;;; Usage: ;; Simplest usage is selecting region and running M-x awk-it. ;; Default field separator is space. AWK it! matches every non empty ;; row in region ($0 !~ /^$/). ;; After invoking command buffer will change to show the following interface: ;; Data: <First line with most fields> ;; AWK pattern: <AWK code; may be multiple lines without extra formatting> ;; <AWK output> ;; Example: ;; From: ;; John 26 London ;; Mark 27 Seattle 50 ;; Scott 26 Sydney ;; to (ignoring the extra field in example pattern): ;; Data: Mark 27 Seattle 50 ;; AWK pattern: <person name="$1" age="$2"> ;; <location>$3</location> ;; </person> ;; <person name="John" age="26"> ;; <location>London</location> ;; </person> ;; <person name="Mark" age="27"> ;; <location>Seattle</location> ;; </person> ;; <person name="Scott" age="26"> ;; <location>Sydney</location> ;; </person> ;; and after expansion: ;; <person name="John" age="26"> ;; <location>London</location> ;; </person> ;; <person name="Mark" age="27"> ;; <location>Seattle</location> ;; </person> ;; <person name="Scott" age="26"> ;; <location>Sydney</location> ;; </person> ;; The expanded lines are automaticaly indented. Buffer undo goes back to ;; before awk-it invocation (both options can be changed). ;; During completion the folowing options are available: ;; - C-c s - change field separator ;; - C-c t - toggle space and tab trimming around custom field separator ;; - C-c <up> - next AWK it! mode (simple -> single -> raw -> simple -> ...) ;; - C-c <down> - previous AWK it! mode (raw -> single -> simple -> raw ...) ;; After completion you can run: ;; - M-x awk-it-to-kill-ring - copies last AWK code to kill ring ;; - M-x awk-it-to-file - copies last AWK code(raw or converted to raw) to file ;; Simplified AWK code differs from regular in that it: ;; - prints code(print "<code>") ;; - escapes double and single quotes (latter for shell interaction) ;; - escapes newline ;; - concatenates fields with rest of the text ;; The single mode is regular AWK code run for each default match. The previous ;; example written in single AWK code would be: ;; print "<person name=\"" $1 "\" age=\"" $2 "\">\n\ ;; <location>" $3 "</location>\n\ ;; </person>" ;; The raw mode is raw, or full, AWK code needed for data processing. The previous ;; example would be: ;; $0 !~ /^$/ { ;; print "<person name=\"" $1 "\" age=\"" $2 "\">\n\ ;; <location>" $3 "</location>\n\ ;; </person>"; ;; } ;; ;; /^$/ { print } ;; AWK it! can also be invoked with every mode as starting mode, with custom ;; separator, with contents of file inserted in interactive UI code field(in ;; raw mode), or automatically process region with contents of file(as raw AWK). ;; Combining everything the following functions are available: ;; - awk-it - basic AWK it! - starts in simple mode ;; - awk-it-with-separator - simple mode with custom field separator ;; - awk-it-single - single mode AWK it! ;; - awk-it-single-with-separator - single mode with custom field separator ;; - awk-it-raw - AWK it! using raw(full) AWK syntax ;; - awk-it-file - automatically transform with AWK file ;; - awk-it-with-file - raw mode with code from AWK file ;; - awk-it-to-kill-ring - place last AWK code in kill ring ;; - awk-it-to-file - output last raw AWK code to file ;; Also AWK it! can be customized in External -> Awk it: ;; - awk-it-load-hook; Hook that gets run after the AWK it! has been loaded ;; - awk-it-default-separator - default AWK field separator - ' ' ;; - awk-it-default-row-filter - default AWK row filter - '$0 !~ /^$/' ;; - awk-it-file-first-line - first line inserted in AWK file ;; - awk-it-default-mode - default starting mode for awk-it ;; - awk-it-undo - toggles if undo ignores AWK it! edits ;; - awk-it-indent - toggles is expanded text will be indented ;; - awk-it-extra-awk-code - extra AWK code that is inserted in raw AWK ;; - awk-it-toggle-trim-keybinding - keybinding for toggling trimming ;; - awk-it-field-separator-keybinding - keybinding for change field separator ;; - awk-it-next-mode-keybinding - keybinding for next mode ;; - awk-it-previous-mode-keybinding - keybinding for previousmode ;;; Change Log: ;; 2012.09.10. - 0.5 ;; first version ;; 2013.01.26. - 0.75 ;; fix: ;; - extra newline at end ;; - better ' handling ;; - \ field separator ;; feature: ;; - toggle trimming around separator while in completion ;; - switch field separator while in completion ;; - auto indent after expansion ;; - 3 types of awk code: simple, single, raw ;; - load code from file ;; - save code to kill-ring and file(raw) ;; - undo before awk-it ;; - extra functions variable ;; 2013.01.31. - 0.76 ;; fix: ;; - minor dependency fix ;; 2013.09.17. - 0.77 ;; fix: ;; - minor dependency fix ;;; Code: (require 'yasnippet) (require 'cl) (defgroup awk-it nil "Run awk interactively on region." :version "0.77" :group 'external) (defcustom awk-it-load-hook nil "*Hook that gets run after the awk-it has been loaded." :type 'hook :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-default-separator " " "*Default AWK field separator - if nil AWK default is used." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-default-row-filter "$0 !~ /^$/" "*Default AWK row filter - if nil '$0 !~ /^$/' is used." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-file-first-line "#!/bin/awk" "*First line inserted when writing AWK file." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-default-mode 1 "*Default AWK it! mode (1 - simplified; 2 - raw single match; 3 - full raw)." :type 'number :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-undo t "*AWK it! undo; after expansion undo to before awk-it, nil to disable." :type 'boolean :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-indent t "*Toggles if epanded data should be indented." :type 'boolean :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-extra-awk-code nil "*Extra AWK code that AWK it! will insert into final script." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-toggle-trim-keybinding "C-c t" "*AWK it! toogle field separator trim keybinding." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-field-separator-keybinding "C-c s" "*AWK it! field separator change keybinding." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-next-mode-keybinding "C-c <up>" "*AWK it! next mode change keybinding." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defcustom awk-it-previous-mode-keybinding "C-c <down>" "*AWK it! previous mode change keybinding." :type 'string :group 'awk-it) (defvar awk-it-fs awk-it-default-separator "AWK field separator.")

I hate reality shows. However there's one that's just kicking off out in San Francisco that I'm looking forward to watching. You might call it "The Frugal Farmers" or "Gardeners Gone Wild."
The challenge: Raise half the food you eat this year in a garden that costs absolutely nothing to maintain.
Anneli Rufus and Kristan Lawson are the authors of The Scavengers' Manifesto, and are the brain trust behind what they call "No-Cost Gardening." They're taking the challenge themselves and have thrown down the gardener's gauntlet for you to do the same. They'll be reporting their progress -- the good, the bad and the arugula -- on their Website, and I plan to check back in with them periodically here at The Green Cheapskate to see how their garden grows.
Anneli and Kristan describe themselves as full-time scavengers. "We've made a lifestyle out of getting stuff (legally) without spending a cent," they say. My Inner Miser applauds them for helping to show people that gardening need not be expensive. Sadly, what started out as a way to save money (i.e. growing your own food) has, in our uber consumer society, morphed into a $40 billion annual industry of specialized gardening tools, overpriced seeds and nursery stock and even stylish garden apparel. Do you really need a special wardrobe to dig in the dirt?
Here are some of the tips from Anneli's and Kristan's Website for getting plant seeds for little or no cost:
Check out their Website for the details, more tips, and info on the No-Cost Gardening challenge and stay tuned for regular rutabaga reports here at The Green Cheapskate.

My 50 Favorite Christmas Songs
Posted on December 25th, 2012 in Commemorative, My Life, Random and Miscellaneous | No Comments »
On Facebook for the past several days, I've been counting down my 50 favorite Christmas songs. Coming up with the top 50 songs wasn't terribly difficult. I've identified roughly 375 different contenders, though I'm only familiar with a little more than 200 of them. A good number of the Christmas songs I know were easily disqualified because of the unpleasant visceral reaction they cause.
Ranking the top 50 on the other hand — beyond a few that consistently rise to the top — was a difficult task. Still, there's a kind of double-edged fun to assembling a list like this one: 1) Comparing and debating the rankings with friends; and 2) The fluid nature of the list, in part because of new songs discovered that upset the balance. If I do this again, the 2013 edition might look somewhat different.
Some of the songs you see below contain video links, either because the song may be less familiar or because it's a rendition I particularly like. So without further ado, here in descending order is the current list of my 50 favorite Christmas songs: (more…)

[Beowulf] IEEE 1588 (PTP) - a better cluster clock?
Many of your questions may have already been answered in earlier discussions or in the FAQ. The search results page will indicate current discussions as well as past list serves, articles, and papers.

Hello, I have some news about IEEE 1588 that look like they'll address some of the concerns raised on this list about the use of multicasts for communication: the next revision of the standard will have extensions which allow to run PTP without multicasts or at least less of them. The first change is that clients can ask their server for permission to communicate via unicast. This alone would already avoid the situation that the clients' multicast packets wake up all daemons on all nodes. The master still has to receive and process all these packets. The second change is that switches and routers can act as "peer-to-peer transparent clocks". In that mode the network device responds to clients connected to it directly instead of forwarding the clients' packets to the master. This mode is both more accurate and more scalable. The accuracy could also be improved if the switch/router act as "end-to-end transparent clocks": in that mode they add the delay added by their own processing to a field in the outgoing message, but all packets still need to be transmitted between clients and master. I've heard that at least one vendor will improve IEEE 1588 support in his switches; I'm not sure whether this has been publicly announced, so please excuse me for not saying which one. Instead I'd like to turn the question around: * Which switches/routers are currently your preferred choice when building a cluster? * If for some reason your preferred choice is impossible, what is used instead and why? * Would good IEEE 1588 support influence the buying decision (probably too early to ask, but who knows, perhaps you are already excited about it and can't wait to add support for it to clusters...)? Reply privately if you want to; I'll summarize the responses on the list. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.

Bulgaria: A welcome reform or a market disruption
The latest amendments to the Bulgarian Commerce Act are intended to implement the Late Payment Directive (2011/7/EU) (the "Directive"). The Directive was adopted in February 2011 and was due to be implemented by 16 March 2013. Currently, is adopted in 17 of 27 Member States of the EU. The aim of the Directive is to prevent the grossly unfair treatment of those creditors who are unable to negotiate level-playing field payment terms, irrespective of whether that status is due to the creditors' weaker bargaining power or to the fact that the terms are in fact subjected to limited negotiations, as with public procurements. The scope of the amendments in the Bulgarian legislation implementing the Directive concern only business to business and government to business transactions , for which maximum terms are introduced for payment of monetary obligations. Unfortunately, the amendments do not entirely implement the Directive and certain provisions of this EU legislation have been left out, such as: -
Bulgaria_Commission adopts corporate compliance programme guidelines

Protection of Business Transactions in Case of Insolvency
One natural consequence of the economic crisis is the steadily growing number of bankruptcy proceedings. An effective means of protecting the interests of creditors in such proceedings is the introduction of the principle of nullity of transactions concluded during the so-called 'suspicious period', directly following the initial date of insolvency (or, respectively, over-indebtedness). -
Omissions in the energy strategy disturb the investment climate
In a previous article, I asked the question of whether the State is "for" or "against" green energy. The latest amendments to the law of April 10, 2012, as well as subsequent decisions by the State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (SEWCR) confirmed that the State takes a stand against wind and photovoltaic power generation. -

Najib Bouzerda took on a second job about a month ago, working as a clerk in the Quick Stop store at the corner of Grove and B streets.
"He was always saying it was a dangerous area," said Walter Jaworski, Bouzerda's friend and landlord.
The part-time job proved dangerous Monday when two men brandishing guns robbed the store at 502 Grove St. about 7 p.m.
The men, who covered their lower faces with cloths, walked in and began firing, Fayetteville police said.
Bouzerda, 44, and Mohamed Ould, 41, were shot multiple times, police said.
Ould was in fair condition, police said Tuesday afternoon.
Bouzerda, a native of Morocco who now lives in Lumber Bridge, was in critical condition, said Jaworski, speaking outside the store Tuesday morning.
"I pray to God he's going to survive."
One employee was inside the still-closed business Tuesday morning. The unidentified worker said the store would be closed Tuesday.
Customers continued to stop by the store, pulling futilely on the door and turning away with puzzled looks. Some said they had heard about the robbery. Others said they had not.
"I heard about it on the radio," said 55-year-old Sheerie Whidbee, who stopped at the store.
Whidbee lives a few blocks away and said the store is a favorite with residents of the B Street neighborhood.
It's a tough area, Whidbee said.
Henry Tatum, 60, stopped at the store, as he often does, to put gas in a van from Covenant Love Church on Dunn Road. He said he'd heard about a robbery.
"I didn't realize this was the place," Tatum said. "If I had known, I wouldn't have come here, but I didn't so I came."
The robbery and shootings have workers at neighboring businesses on a heightened alert.
"You've always got to be prepared, especially during the holidays," said a clerk, who asked not to be identified, working in a nearby store.
The clerk was robbed by a person with a knife about two years ago, she said.
"I'm always concerned," the clerk said.
Donna Jones, manager of the Hess/Wilco store, across B Street from the Quick Stop, said the brazen robbery was disturbing and makes people more alert.
Amy Bowden, who owns the Medicine Shoppe pharmacy on Grove Street, next to the Quick Stop store, said she and her employees just practice common-sense safety.
"We try to do the smart thing," Bowden said. "In this day and time, you always have to worry."
Bouzerda also worked at the DoubleTree hotel on Cedar Creek Road at Interstate 95. The news of the robbery has his co-workers reeling.
"To be honest with you, we are shocked," said hotel owner Balbir Brar.
Bouzerda was hired about six months ago and worked on the maintenance staff, Brar said.
"One of the things we recognized in him was that we didn't have to lead him by the hand. We would tell him it needed to be done and next thing, it was done," Brar said.
"I can't believe someone would do that to him."
Meanwhile, Virginia Rodriguez, Bouzerda's girlfriend, said she wants the men who shot him brought to justice.
"He didn't bother nobody," she said. "He would give you the shirt off his back."

[RELEASE] Weather.com Plus Plugin - skinnable via the new Weather Plugin API in XBMC!

Post: #341
Hi i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but i couldn't really find any other threads for it. I'm having trouble installing this plugin in. I'm using confluence skin with dharma version of XBMC. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it never actually downloads the plugin. It just stays at 0%. I thought i downloaded it before, but when i go to the weather app, it says that the script failed to run and just shows the basic XBMC weather. I'd really like to be able to see the radar maps and other things. Is there a place i can manually install this or something else i might be doing wrong? thanks for the reply in advance.

Human Resources: Can Your Team Compete in the New Market Place?
Are you ready for the recovery? Debra Thompson tells us there will be different customers, different suppliers and, of course, different competitors. More than ever, it will take a strong team to help your company deal with that change and resume...
There are some signs that the economy has begun to recover. The real question is: Will you be ready to take market-share when the economy really does start to turn up?
If you haven't been reevaluating every aspect of your business during the last year or so, you had better get moving now. This recession was very different than any we have ever had. In the past when the economy would turn up, we could go back to business as usual and pretty much continue where we left off. This time when the economy turns up, there will be no business as usual.
The structural change that has taken place over the last couple of years has permanently changed the landscape of business. The supply chain has changed, relationships are different, vendors have consolidated, outsourcing versus doing more in-house is a concern, and more automation is necessary. Many of you have seen your customers disappear or consolidate. Also recognize that your customer's customers have changed too. Figuring out who your next competitor will be is even scarier. It may not be the printer down the block, but may be a new online source offering lower cost and faster response.
In addition to all the external changes that have taken place, many of you have made internal changes to help weather the storm. You cut staff, or wages, or hours, or all of the above. You worked hard to reduce operating expenses wherever possible, held back on equipment or technology purchases, and just hunkered down in the hope that the recovery would soon sweep you up again. The bottom line is that you may have helped your company survive, but you may have injured its ability to thrive in the future.
Now more than ever, it will take a well built team to position your company to gain market share and resume growth and conduct business profitably in this new landscape. But if you wait until the economy has recovered before you start strengthening your team, you will get left in the dust. Now is the time to revisit your vision, examine your infrastructure, and take the staffing actions needed to position your team for success.
Here are some important thoughts to ponder as you look at your team:
"We must remember that it's not the numbers that drive the people, but the people and team that drive the numbers…to build a strong organization, you must build your core foundation—consisting of your people and team. Without a strong core, you'll have weak energy, weak performance, and weak results."
—Jon Gordon, author of "The Energy Bus"
"Those who build great companies understand that the ultimate throttle on growth for any great company is not market, or technology, or competition, or products. It is one thing above all others: the ability to get and keep enough of the right people."
—Jim Collins, author of "Good to Great"
"Companies that manage people right will outperform companies that don't by 30 to 40%."
—Harvard Business Review
"A competent, stable, well led workforce is critical to gain a competitive advantage."
—Debra Thompson, co-author of "No More Rotten Eggs"
Only Good Eggs Need Apply
Below is a mini-check list I recommend you use today to ensure you are ready to thrive as the market turns up:
Review your vision and mission statement along with your strategies to make sure they reflect the structural changes that have taken place. If you went through serious decline, it may be because your old vision was outdated. As Jim Collins puts it, "You must decide where the bus is going." Now is not the time to say, "We always came back before, so it will work this time too." Every reputable economist out there is telling us differently.
Once you have a realistic vision of the future, evaluate your current infrastructure. Is it set up to carry out your strategies, accomplish your mission, and achieve your vision? Do you need different seats or functions, different workflow, different processes?

You may want a copy of this book in the form of a planar cellulose information
retrieval system, i.e. a printed book. They make good gifts, and are more familiar
to most of us than electronic copies. But finding a printed copy of a book is
sometimes difficult. This section is intended to give you some help by making it
easy to use the more common ways of searching. 1 The first column consists of links to the home pages of the biggest suppliers of books by mail: Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These two suppliers have mostly new books, and their new book inventory probably has an overlap of something like 90%, but this does not mean that they both have exactly the same price. Both of them also list used books from outside suppliers, and the used book inventories are usually quite different. ABE Books is a loose grouping of some 17,000 independent bookstores that list their inventory in a common database - most of these are used books that vary from just issued best sellers to rare and antique books. From all three home pages you can do searches, look at comments, check prices of both new and used copies, look at various formats such as hardback, paperback, eBook formats and much more. 2 The second column has links to Barnes & Noble and Amazon pages describing their new eBook Readers. These have become very popular lately as they allow the purchase of new books and textbooks at prices lower than the printed copies, and in a format that many people find attractive. 3 Clicking on the links in the third column sends you to the supplier along with the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of the book described on this page if we have been able to find that number. Note that an ISBN refers to a specific edition of a book. Thus a single book might have many ISBNs: Hardback edition, softback, large print, foreign language and so on. Usually the book listing on B & N or Amazon will have links to the other editions that are available. 4 Is our ISBN wrong, or perhaps missing all together. Help us out. Search on B&N and Amazon. If you find one, please let us know. Enter the thirteen (Barnes & Noble) or ten (Amazon) digit number (no dashes) in the boxes above and click on the Submit ISBN button. The numbers shown in the boxes are the numbers we have on file, or zero if we haven't found one. |

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Virginia Beach
Online Reservations
Our dining experience at Ruth Chris was a very delightful one. I was very impress with their food & service. My husband and plan on going back again for my birthday or just because we are in the area. The waitress was very nice and she knew the menu and made a very good selection for us. We can not tell you how impress we were, I think we have told just about anyone that will listen to us about the service. Thank you for making our 1 year anniversary dinner an day to remember.
Food, service, dining experience is always the best!
I absolutely loved my experience at Ruth Chris. I had my new all-time favorite steak, filet mignon with blue cheese crumbles broiled on top. It was so delicious I told the waitress I felt like I had been eating desert as my entre. When I booked through Open Table I included a note that it was our anniversary and we received not only a romantic seat but the table was laced with anniversary notes and we even received an extra deserts! I can't wait to go back....
We went for Father's Day & while the front of the house staff did an exceptional job accommodating us, the food did not meet our expectations. I've cooked a better steak on my grill at home & have also had better steaks at Outback Steakhouse. Really disappointing for the money that we spent, but at least the prices are high enough to keep out the noisy riff-raff. We may give it another try sometime down the road, but will definitely be in no hurry to.
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse as always remains upscale & superb! You get what you pay for which is excellence. Excellent service, excellent food and upscale setting! We will continue to make this our special place!
Our waitress Ashley was awesome. My filet was not as tender as I would like. My husband had a ribeye which he loved.
When you have a special occasion, make it special at Ruth's Chris. I've known about Ruth's Chris but have never dined there. I wanted to do something nice and different for my wife's birthday. So a after spending all day in VA Beach, this was the place I chose for us to dine. Really don't have any complaints. The staff was more than courteousand food was nothing short of phenomenal. I believe this may have been the first time is had a steak cooked exactly how I like it. Most places cannot do well done very well. It was perfect. Both my wife and her mother loved. Now it is on the pricey side, but you should definitely try to go on your next special occasion. My wife said it was worth the experience.
It has been almost 10 years since I first ate at this restaurant, and I must say that both experiences were absolutely awesome!! I can't think of anywhere else I have had such amazingly delicious food and such wonderfully impeccable service. Our server, Daniel, was so responsive to any requests, very knowledgeable on the restaurant and the food, and has a fantastic sense of humor. This was such a wonderful experience for my wife and I.
Ruth Chris really made my birthday special. Free desert (delicious) and birthday confetti on the table. Just enough but not overkill! Surf and Turf special was fantastic and a great deal. Will return for next special event or maybe sooner if I'm craving fillet of beef!
This is one of only a few Ruth's that serves a 30oz, bone in Wagyu (American Kobe) ribeye steak. The"Tomahawk". It is unbelievably good. Large enough to share, but you won't want to. I recommend medium rare. It's not cheap ($115), but worth every cent. Ruth's has steak down to an art form. Great special occasion place. The Manhattan Eastside is an excellent Ruth's version of the classic Manhattan.
My wife and I selected Ruth Chris because neither of us have dined tbere before. Everything from the food to the service was excellent. Our server George had a great personality and was very helpful with the menu. Great location, great decor, just all around great. They even remembered that it was our anniversary. Will definately revisit. Only downside is we didn't drive the Mercedes that evening, could've gotten free valet parking. Lol, i know next time.
Excellent experience..food was fabulous and Cal was great server.
It had been a long time since I had visited Ruth Chris. I was at the beach with its share on bad food joints when Ruth Chris showed up on OpenTable,. The first surprise was the Town Center. A clean space. An open space. A secure space with great parking. Once up the escalator there was this beautiful place. After a brief are you who you say you are by the greeter, the wait staff and the food made a few days from home great. The lobster appetizer was off the chain. My steak was cooked to order and my wife loved her shrimp. It's a long drive to the Ruth Chris in Richmond but after Virginia Beach I am going to have to take that drive. I definitely will return when I am in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area.
We have celebrated almost every special event in with dinner at Ruth Chris. Why go anywhere else? Service is always A+ whether we have a large party of 20 or a party for 2. The wine list is wonderful. They never rush you. Steaks are consistently the best quality!! But the side dishes really make the meal exciting! We always order to much just so we can bring some home!! One of our family traditions is getting the family together for a champagne dinner the week before Christmas. It's something we always look forward too. This year, we will have 4 generations at the table!!!
Thanks for all the courteous and uhospitable servers and attendants like George our server, and Ron who escorted me in and out with his arm for my convenience! How nice too he was to start the escalator to take us downstairs! May his chivalry be noted and never die! Keep-up the great training and gift certificates for your restaurant! See you again, at 6pm Saturday, Aug. 17th to celebrate my significant other's Birthday!
Our server Glen was oustanding and the whole experience for my wife's 40th Birthday was great! Definite place to recommend and come back to.
Absolutely wonderful. I loved everything. It was my first time going. There were 6 tables in our area and it was like we had a private party in the room and for our table too.
The service was OUTSTANDING. Best seen to date! They made us feel like family.
I ate at Ruth Chris for my birthday and it was very nice. The waiter was attentive and quick with his service. Management checked to make sure all of our needs were met. The food was spectacular. The steak was extremely tender and the sides were also delicious and could be shared with another person. (due to the amount)
Food was excellent. Service was as well. The classic menu made it more affordable. Really enjoyed it.
We had a great time there as always. You can go to a place that has great food, but if it is not a great experience also it is only half and evening. The staff at Ruth Chris is always great and attentive and out waiter, Gaston is the best. makes the whole evening well worth the trip and cost of dinner.
The food was very good, but it wasn't as good as in the past. Before i would have never left a bite of steak on my plate and this time the Blue Cheese crust had melted into the steak a bit. Quality of the beef was the same, but the cooking style had changed some. The kind of thing that happens with an inexperienced cook. All-in-all i'll be back for sure. Maybe just an off night.
Everything, from service to food was fantastic as always.
You'll always know what is in store for you at Ruth's Chris. Quality Food, Great Selection and Superior Service.
Favorite was the rib eye, excellent service. Really nice atmosphere, great food, excellent location.
Food was excellent but service even better. Special thanks to Cal and the rest of the staff for the fantastic service. The presentation of the food and drink was out of this world. Highly recommended
After 24 years of being a school counselor, my wife retired, and her school staff gave her a gift certificate for Ruth's Chris! We thought it would be especially perfect to dine there on the first day of the 2013-14 school year -- a wonderful treat, for sure! All aspects were top notch: wait staff, food, ambiance... We had an marvelous dinner experience, each choosing off the "Ruth's Classics" specials. Highly recommend this location for a special occasion, as it is quite expensive, even with a gift certificate covering some of the bill. But you won't find a steak in the area better than the one at Ruth's Chris!
Only eat here if you want to make a tasty impression.
The food and the service were superior. We could not believe how tender and juicy our steaks were. Yummy.
We enjoy the atmosphere, steak and lobster, sides and always the attention to details. A great place for special dinners!
The food was very good, however the wait staff was superb. Attentive but not intrusive. Maybe the best Waite staff I have seen in the area. They made a special occasion extra special.
While Ruth's Chris is a "chain" restaurant, the food, service and ambience have been consistently outstanding at every location (New York, Atlanta, Tarrytown, New Orleans).
I am a frequent diner but this time I brought 3 other individuals that never been to a Ruth Chris before and they enjoyed every second of it. They are still praising the place today. Our waiter was AWESOME! He made recommendations and he was very polite and did his job well. I would recommend friends and family to visit this establishment.
I will have to say I am usually not impressed by chain restaurants. I loved the service and good here. It was lovely!
The restaurant was nice and the staff was good. I would go back, and recommend it to a friend.
The fiancée and I were celebrating a late birthday dinner. And all our friends recommended RuthsChris as the place to be for a romantic and intimate time. And it delivered. As soon as we entered we were welcomed like we were VIP guest. Our waitors name was Gaston. Very knowledgeable of the menu and his conversation was entertaining but not annoying. Eddie was great as well. We were even greeted by the GM. He was very pleasant as well. And at the end of our dinner, my fiancée was given a surprise dessert. It was the icing on the cake. If you want to somewhere romantic, enjoyable, intimate environment with top notch service and great food go visit this gem. Food is pricey but you got to pay to play.
The food was wonderful. The service was fantastic and the ambience was beautiful.
I make a reservation on opentable and gave special instructions and when I arrived everything was accorded to how I had requested. The customers do come first here. We were never left with an empty glass. The food was not the best for me but above average for sure. The atmosphere is more romantic then family oriented.
Everything was amazing from the ambiance,service, food, wine it was a great evening
It had been a while since the last visit to RC in Virginia beach and we were not disappointed. We even had our favorite server waiting on us. For a special night, leave it to the experts at RC Virginia Beach to get it right. Save yourself the money elsewhere and have a special dinner here.
I really enjoyed this restaurant. Everything was great. The petite steak was fantastic. Make it an Oscar! The service was outstanding, very friendly, and professional.
Great dinner in tribute to our servicemen. They could not believe the flavor of the steaks and the sides. It was a memorable dinner.
This is my second visit in less than a month. The entire experience each time was great. Excellent place for adult only dining. My opinion. My husband and I will make this a regular dining location. Great staff.
Glenn was our waiter and he was outstanding and provided great service! Food was ok, but the Sweet Potato Casserole was outstanding! That dish could be a dessert.
Beautiful and romantic venue for a special occasion. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and had a lovely dinner.
Could not have asked for a better evening for our special occasion (25 year wedding anniversary). Server and restaurant went above and beyond to make our dinner special! Food was excellent, restaurant atmosphere was nice and quiet and our server was outstanding.
R.C. Is always so consistent! Love the food,service is always great
I took my bride of 45 years to this restaurant to celebrate her belated birthday. She was out of town on business on her actual birthday so I needed a special place to take her and celebrate. This was the ideal restaurant. The ambiance was very nice, the service was great, our waiter was fantastic and the entire experience was very enjoyable. This was not our first visit to this restaurant and will not be our last. Thanks for such a fine dining experience.
The Food was great, and the sweet potatoe casserole was awesome. I would reccomend this expierence for any special occasion.
Overall very pleasant experience. Head waiter Gaston needs to slow down and speak more distinctly especially for those of who have mild hearing problems. I also feel that the G.M. should enforce removal of hats at the table. I saw two men eating with their hats on. For a restaurant of this caliber I feel that at least a minor dress code should be enforced. The food was absolutely top shelf! Everything was cooked to perfection!

Available options may differ from photo. Design by Roldolfo Dordoni, 1990. The elegant gradation of tones in the new selection of colors (white, amber, ivory, gray), the new glossy finish in the blown glass and the black-chrome finish for the characteristic tripod, transform one of the most important pieces in the Foscarini collection into a practically new model, demonstrating its surprising freshness.

An elegant lamp that bridges old and new design styles
This light is both beautiful and beautifully crafted. It has a elegant look and emits a soft light. Each of the elements, the glass shade, the metal stand are well made and have a nice weight, which with a table lamp is a good thing. My room has both old and new funriture and the light fits well with both. By:Claudia B. , Homeowner (New York CIty)
elegant lamp
this is a very elegant, well-crafted lamp. the amber shade is very dark, but illuminates beautifully when turned on. My only design complaint is the white cord. I wish this was threaded through a leg rather than dangling out of the base.... By:Victoria W. , Architect (New York)

I need Pay as you go hosting for a few of my web startups, I don't want to pay and get a dedicated server or VPN and not even use half the resourses, I also don't want to get shared hosting and get suspended for using too much resources!
With pay as you go hosting (cloud?) I only pay for what I use, and of its cloud, I can make as many servers as I want (one for each startup) and only pay for what I use!
Can anyone suggest a few hosting companies that offer this?

This rebuilt log home was constructed on the exact site where the Prophet Joseph Smith lived at the time of the First Vision. It was here that Moroni appeared to young Joseph. His sister, Lucy, was born here; his brother, Alvin, died here. Near here the eight witnesses saw and held the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated. Several sections of the Doctrine and Covenants were likely revealed here. This home was dedicated on 27 March 1998 by President Gordon B. Hinckley.
