- delicious scallopsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014The scallops were amazing. We aren't foodies, but the presentation was beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ajb5golfDined on 10/31/2014Wonderful food excellent service. Very good at accommodating groups.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I loved it!!historylover76Dined on 10/31/2014This was such a delightful place to dine. I loved the room, creative decorations, a touch of history and a touch of whimsy. The fried green tomatoes were SO good, so was the trout! We will definitely return!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/30/2014Great service! Menu selections were a disappointment, had expected elegant or at least gracious dining but it was rather casual. Menu had meatloaf as a choice - had it been exceptional or out of the ordinary, perhaps it wouldn't have been as offensive. And I did not expect bolgna sandwich as a menu item when booking a restaurant for an classy celebration. Service was great and very responsive. Staff very knowledgeable regarding selections. If I return it will be for drinks at the bar.
- grannyDgrannyDDined on 10/25/2014Food was good but not exceptional; our table was too close to its neighbors, not a great atmosphere but not horrible; good place for pre-theater dining; ambivalent about recommending to others. I think it needs to find a niche, it tries to be too many things- sandwich menu for a nice dinner restaurant seems out of place.I would recommend this to a friend.
- table arrangementcheek2cheekDined on 10/11/2014We really enjoyed the food and the experience and loved the old Inn. On the downside, the tables were too close together. We sat at a table for two, and the tables on each side of us were so close that we felt as though we were at the same table with strangers. It stifled conversation somewhat. Perhaps more space could be put between the tables, or at least turn every other table in the opposite direction.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- refined and relaxinglilliebeckDined on 10/10/2014We enjoyed the wonderful food and relaxed, yet refined atmosphere. Upscale but not stuffy!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historic charmfoodsnobVIPDined on 10/3/2014Lovely dinner with family. Friendly and attentive service. Food, while not exactly inventive was all prepared perfectly. Desserts - especially the flourless chocolate torte were to die for!Special Features:
- great foodfoodieDined on 10/3/2014The food was greatand is recommended for food lovers everywhereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experience3puttDined on 9/22/2014The good food and the attentive wait staff made for a memorable experience. And the fact that it occurred in an historic setting made it that much more special! Our compliments to the chef!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at SistersfitzdinerDined on 9/13/2014My husband and I had dinner there on Saturday night. I thought we were seeing the musical at the Barksdale on Friday night so I made reservations for 7:00 on Saturday night. Then when I realized my mistake and they were full on Saturday night, I called down to the restaurant and they were very nice about changing my reservation to an earlier time. My husband enjoyed the ice berg lettuce salad and the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I LOVED the squash soup and the scallops were the best I had ever eaten..sure wish I had the recipe!! We shared a bread pudding for dessert and it was also tasty. I really recommend eating here. The staff was very friendly and we highly enjoyed our dining experience. The square rolls were awesome!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing RestaurantExiled21Dined on 9/12/2014My and my now fiancée ate at this restaurant moments before I proposed to her. It was a very romantic place to eat at and she described the place as amazing and outstanding. The food was amazing and the ambiance was so good. Will definitely eat here again, it will be a night I will never forget for my entire life.Special Features:
- ExcellentHokieDined on 8/28/2014Our family met at the Sisters at Martha to celebrate by father's 80th birthday. The food was outstanding, sevice excellent and attentive, and the ambiance was perfect. Following dinner we attended the 7:30pm performance at the Barter Theater. I will definitely return on my next trip through Abingdon. Thank you for a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable dinner!pickypeteDined on 8/22/2014We had tickets to the Barter Theatre and wanted a nice dinner beforehand. Sisters at the Martha is located in the Martha Washington Inn, which is directly across the street from the theatre. We had a lovely dinner with good service. Would recommend highly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reunion at SistersLarkDined on 8/15/2014College roommate reunion was appropriately staged at "Sisters" for a delightful dinner in a setting that allowed catching up on years of news. Delightful server was very helpful with questions about the menu. Presentation of the salmon/risotto/asparagus meal was beautiful and flavors were perfectly matched. We dined opposite from the Bar area and our "TV Screen" was showing black and white Charlie Chaplin shorts -- What a hoot! and so period-appropriate for the era of the Martha. Quite a treat for ladies who haven't shared quality time in years! Thank you for a marvelous memory!Special Features:
- 2raccoonsDined on 8/2/2014Some of the wait staff was too loud and took away from the ambience. Wished the food could have come out sooner. Otherwise, we enjoyed the dinner and both the complimentary breakfast and one ordered from the menu the next day.Special Features:
- The following 106 reviews are from the Sisters at the Martha reviews archive.
- Birthday at Sisters at the Martha.NatalieNicoleDined on 7/25/2014I had my 20th birthday here and it was great! The food is awesome and the service is great! Best restaurant in Abingdon by far. Not to mention its location is perfect. While we were waiting for our reservation time we explored the hotel. It was beautiful with rich history! You must go to this restaurant if you are ever in the Abingdon area.Special Features:
- Good SpotMike45Dined on 7/14/2014Nice place, convenient, and good service. Dinner menu a bit disappointing....limited number of entree selections. Salmon was outstanding!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well priced for the ambienceNCgirlDined on 7/12/2014We enjoyed a pre-theatre dinner at Sisters. Portions were modest for some appetizers and entrees (clam fritters and shrimp and grits) but prices were set accordingly. It was nice to have the full menu available for dinner, so that you could get a sandwich or salad if you weren't up for a full entree. The food we had was well prepared and tasty. We had a friendly, attentive waitress. The atmosphere was classic fine hotel dining room, if a little noisy. We would return if we come back to Abingdon.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good entreesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014Great service. Appetizer wasn't great and the dessert was terrible but our server made it right. Salmon and crab cakes were very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Experience at Sisters at MarthaeatwellDined on 7/1/2014Our experience was very good. There were three adults a child six and a child nine. We were taken to a walled off alcove, very private and nice. Evidently, when I made the reservations and included the children it was a worry that we might cause problems. Our children have eaten in public since they were born and are very well behave, although I have seen others who were not well behaved. The food was very, very good and served in a timely manner. We had a variety of items. The bread was exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- special dinner with friendsJeanette1Dined on 6/28/2014first visit and enjoyed location and food. Attended Barter Show and they recommended as a great place to eat before show. the surroundings was like going back in time. Hope to dine again and learn more about the area shops.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date NightWesMorrisDined on 6/21/2014Quiet atmosphere for a pleasant evening without the kids. Salmon was outstanding & my wife loved the Shrimp & Grits!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent as always!LeighDined on 6/16/2014The menu contains a good selection of small plates (which are quite generous), soups, salads, sandwiches and large plates, and everything we sampled during our three-night stay at The Martha was excellent. Our favorites were the fried green tomatoes and hand-cut steaks! Service was also excellent--attentive and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy and SophisticatedlocalfoodloverDined on 6/1/2014The waitress, Courtney, was fabulous and so personable. She made our 1 year anniversary dinner so enjoyable. The craft beer selection was awesome. They had a great selection and even a few I had never tried before. We had the artisan cheese plate for an appetizer and split the wedge salad. Both were lovely and a great, light start for our meal. My husband had a 12oz ribeye and I had the parmesan chicken pasta. We both all but licked the plate clean. We shared the strawberry cheesecake for dessert which is made by a local bakery and it was the best I've ever had. Definitely a great place to go for a nice dinner and great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/23/2014Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. Perfect for dining before the Barter Theater show. Definitely becomes part of the routine when going to the shows.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedDeltasegmentflyDined on 5/18/2014Fine for a resort but better local options by far. Would come back for apps and a drink after a show.
- Date NightBrownEdwardsDined on 5/17/2014This was a wonderful dining experience with a romantic feel, perfect for a special occasion date night. The food tasted great and was a nice light dinner before an enjoyable show at the Barter. Serving sizes weren't great but they were reasonably priced for a restaurant of this quality. Superb service!Special Features:
- Mother's DelightFLnativeDined on 5/11/2014A wonderful experience for Mother's Day or any special occasion. Sunday brunch complete with beautiful live piano music, bountiful delicious food items---smoked salmon, seafood pasta, prime rib slicing station, fresh fruit and salads, pecan pie, carrot cake, and tiramisu, etc. in a lovely, historic hotel. Delightful!Special Features:
- Miss the Old DaysScarlettDined on 5/10/2014For years we have enjoyed celebrating special occassions by dining at The Martha. I must say that I miss the old ambience. Adding the big screen TV, even with the silent movies, as well as some of the decor doesn't fit the dining room. The food is still good, but the vintage atmosphere is fading.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historic VenueOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014The restaurant is located in the historic Martha Washington Inn. The grounds are beautiful and convenient to other historic sites in downtown Abingdon. The food and service were ok for the price.Special Features:
- Before the showVirginiaLoversDined on 5/4/2014What a wonderful restaurant to relax and enjoy an outstanding dining experience prior to a theatrical performance.Special Features:

- Friendly, yet upscale.VeganDined on 3/6/2014We frequently stay at The Martha, and usually eat at Sisters while in Abingdon for the Barter Theatre. We were recognized and greeted after just a couple of visits. It's very convenient to the Barter (right across the street) and has a great kitchen. My Vegan diet is always accommodated nicely.Special Features:

We have finally launched stage 1 of the Jabber chat system we have been working on for ages now. You should consider it a beta as we are not truly sure how the load will be with users yet but there is only one way to find out.
Jabber allows you to join common chat rooms and also has the benefit of a huge array of clients available that you can try connecting with (including mobile phones). Also with jabber you can add friends and have proper IM conversations with people you know on EduGeek and you can even use VoIP to talk to them.
When you are connected to the server you will have a icon in your status icons on the forums.
I have created a basic guide to setting up our Jabber client of choice Spark but you can use any other client you want. Spark is Windows 2000+,Mac OSX and Linux compatible as it's java based.
Currently we do not have a web based interface for the server yet due to a bug in the server which should be fixed soon.
NEW: Now there are flash guides for both Pidgin,Pandion and Spark below.
To get started with EduGeek chat and get the server details goto:
Or click "Chat" at the top.
Try http://www.edugeek.net/?pageid=cht instead.
Try another client such as Pidgin or Pandion as Spark can have issues with proxies.
Good luck

Grateful traveler
We rented this property to bring our family together for the Thanksgiving holiday. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to be. The photos while stunning cannot portray how amazing this house truly is. It had everything we could possibly need or want and John (the owner) could not have been more pleasant and accommodating to deal with. The house was impeccably clean and decorated in a true Victorian manner. Each of the bedrooms had a distinctive decorating style. I kept walking through the house saying, "I can't believe that I am actually staying in a house like this!" The huge gas fireplace in the main sitting room was a cozy gathering space for our family to sit and talk or to play games. The pool table was a huge hit with all of us. The housekeeper was pleasant and very welcoming to us when we arrived. I would recommend this property to anyone. We had fun shopping in the nearby Lake George outlets and also a cute restaurant/gift shop called the Silo. Although we didn't rent this property for a wedding, the grounds are absolutely beautiful (even in late November) and cannot imagine how stunning it would be in the spring and summer months. We hope that we can come back sometime in the summer to enjoy the outdoor gardens, sitting areas and the pool. I also wanted to mention that we had a toddler with us and she had a ball toddling through the house from room to room visiting with everyone. Highly recommend! Outstanding property.
Cousins Reunion
The property was as advertised. Everything was clean and well maintained. The owner and property manager was always available to answer any questions that we had.
Wonderful off-season getaway
Went up with girlfriends for a few days at the end of March and had a truly relaxing, lovely experience. Melissa, the owner, was extremely nice and helpful by email and in person. House was even better than pictures - gorgeous and meticulously maintained. We only had four people so all got our own rooms! Deck has incredible views of the lake - perfect for sunning and reading even on the less sunny days we had. On the chillier day, we stayed close to home and enjoyed the cozy living room with gas fireplace and watched DVDs and ate homemade meals cooked in the well-appointed kitchen - every pot/pan/utensil you could ever need! Had a campfire the next night in the fire circle and roasted hot dogs and s'mores while looking up at a million stars. Everything you need in terms of grocery, restaurants, supplies, is nearby in Diamond Point or Lake George village. Took small side trips to Sabbath Day Point and Lake George state park, but mainly just enjoyed down time in a really beautiful setting. Hot water was excellent and plentiful. Would love to come back in summer to do some boating and swimming, but also really loved how quiet the neighborhood and lake were during off-season. Can't wait to come back!

Students have sought from the government the reintroduction of board examination as they feel the Continuous and Comprehensive Education (CCE) system has fostered a "laid back attitude".
CVC has formed an advisory board to assist it and the CBI in examining matters related to bank, commercial and financial frauds.
The case pertains to the killing of two Indian fishermen allegedly by Italian marines Latorre and Girone on board ship 'Enrica Lexie' off Kerala coast.
"We filed an application before the principal district judge I C Shah of Himmatnagar court on Wednesday and sought his re-examination," SIT's lawyer R C Kodekar said.
CBI sources said that Saradha had not been operating as a Non-Banking Finance Company, hence RBI had hardly any role in regulating its operations.
A final decision will be taken at the highest level of the govt considering that 39 Indians, who were working in Iraq, are still in ISIS custody.
A bench headed by Justice T S Thakur directed that the board file its report before the court within four weeks.
The committee would also suggest measures for streamlining and improving the existing working system of CSB and the process for conduct of JEE like Central JEE (Main).

CDC Releases Study on Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Students
June 7, 2011 by Ty Cobb
Gay, lesbian, and bisexual and students are more likely than heterosexual students to engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as tobacco and alcohol use, sexual risk behaviors, suicidal behaviors, and violence, according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday. Reasons such as homophobia, stigma, and family rejection have been attributed to such a disparity in unhealthy risk behaviors.Continue Reading ►
Recognizing 30 Years of the AIDS Epidemic
June 6, 2011
Today, Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, issued the following statement on the 30th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic: "Thirty years ago this week doctors released the first published reports of AIDS. Since then, the disease has devastated our community and others across the world. Its affects have been disproportionately felt among people of color, especially young gay and bisexual men in those communities. But AIDS has also brought all of our communities together in ways we never expected. We remember those we've lost, commend the people who have cared for those with HIV and AIDS, and thank those who have worked tirelessly over the past 30 years to find a cure. Our work is not done. We must continue our fight for all those who have passed, and to ensure that others will continue to live. We must keep educating and breaking down the barriers of stigma and discrimination wherever we may find them. We must remind our young people, and keep reminding them, that AIDS remains a crisis. And we must all work to ensure that the President's historic national strategy on HIV and AIDS receives the commitment and resources it needs to truly change the course of the epidemic."Continue Reading ►

Give up on trying to force feed a traditional meal to toddlers. Instead, provide a variety of snack choices. A toddler's plate might be filled with sliced hot dogs, broccoli wedges, cooked and sliced carrots, hard boiled egg slices and apple wedges. Do not make your toddler try a new food if she does not want to, but provide options. Sometimes a piece of bread folded in half is more appealing than it is when flat.
Meal Ideas for Picky Toddlers
Most parents have forgotten what it was like to be a toddler. These youngsters are busy exploring, do not sit still and are resilient enough to miss a meal or two. So they eat sporadically; enjoy a particular food one day and hate it the next; and like to graze. Yet, they probably get the nutrition they need. Parents must offer food choices, make mealtime fun and be creative and flexible in their approach to please fussy eaters.
Food Variety
Make Meals Fun
Provide the opportunity for your toddlers to play in an acceptable way while eating. Put out dipping bowls with different condiments. Provide healthy options like cottage cheese or a mix of cream cheese and peanut butter. Apple sauce or pureed vegetables might be just what your child wants to dip his crackers in instead of eating them plain. Make a homemade shake for a meal with lots of fruits and low-fat yogurt. Use your imagination to add fun to traditional foods. Cut the crusts off sandwiches and put a smiley face on top of a burger or pancake.
Be Creative
Combine foods into one easily eaten package like a cheeseburger-stuffed baked potato option. Hide healthy foods inside foods that toddlers like to eat. Zucchini bread or flax-seed cookies are options. Chop up carrots and celery and add them to meatballs or hamburgers. Make foods into different interesting colors, like serving up green eggs made with the water from steamed broccoli or spinach. Let your toddler help you make that peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then tell you how delicious it is because he made it.
Be Flexible
Always have several options at the ready in case your toddler is especially picky. Keep some of your toddler's favorite meals in the cupboard or in the freezer. Most toddlers like fries and you can use other vegetables like the sweet potato or zucchini to prepare these--or, bake the fries instead of frying. Have vegetables sliced up and keep them in storage containers for a quick snack idea. Offer a breakfast item for dinner or a dinner item for breakfast. Toddlers do not care what they eat or when.

how does it workA. The Omnia 1600 is a ball catch which works because the ball has a spring behind it. It creates just enough tension to keep the door in place when closed so that it doesn't swing open. If you pull on the door however it will put pressure on the spring and make the door open.

Speculation has also been rife this week that AMD would finally tease out its so-called asset-lite manufacturing plans, some kind of cost-saving outsourcing scheme, at its shareholders meeting Thursday, chatter that has flamed into speculation that it will break in two – a manufacturing business and a chip design and development operation.
It didn't have a thing to say on either asset-lite, a notion AMD CEO Hector Ruiz first dangled without explaining a year ago, or any restructuring at the meeting. Now there are rumors of a manufacturing announcement on May 15.
Anyway, both of the new chips will use the same core as the hard-won Barcelona quad, a move that could push out Bulldozer, the company's anticipated shift to a new, next-generation, Fusion architecture that was due in the second half of 2010.
Montreal, which was scheduled for next year, was simply supposed to put two quad-cores in a multi-core package a la Intel.
Istanbul, due in the second half of '09, is a bit more ambitious. It's supposed to put six cores on a single piece of silicon all sharing a common 6MB L3 cache, more AMD's style.
Magny-Cours, due in the first half of 2010, will be Montreal-like but using native six-cores.
Barcelona's native quad design, while more chi-chi than Intel's two dual-core processors duct-taped together, has cost AMD its edge, a year in the marketplace and a lot of blood-red ink. The question is: Can it execute Istanbul?
AMD did not disclose how the Magny-Cours cores would be linked. It's supposed to have 12MB of L3 cache.
There's another six-core chip on the roadmap called Sao Paulo also due in 2010.
Chip groupie Nathan Brookwood said AMD is trying to be conservative and, given the technology-induced delays with Barcelona, doesn't want to court undue risk.
AMD "won't have performance leadership," he said, "but it should manage to stay within shooting range of Intel depending on how good Intel's Nehalem microarchitecture turns out to be. It's still an unknown."
Nehalem should be good for eight or more cores. Intel is already supposed to have a six-core chip code named Dunnington ready in the second half of this year, a year ahead of AMD's plans.
Like Montreal, the three new AMD processors will be 45nm and use DDR-3 memory.
AMD is currently sampling its first 45nm processor, Shanghai, which is supposed to be on track for 2H08 production with coherent HyperTransport 3.0 processor-to-processor communication and 6MB worth of shared L3 cache.
Istanbul is supposed to fit in the same chipsets as Barcelona and Shanghai, using the same memory systems, power and cooling, a safe track.
Apparently the eight-core Montreal wouldn't have produced as high a clock rate as the Istanbul and not all workloads will scale past six cores.
The 12-core part will run slower than the six-core. Parallel workloads are more likely to use it.
|AMD News Desk 05/09/08 09:42:56 AM EDT
it's scrubbing Montreal, the eight-core chip that was supposed to follow Shanghai, the chip after Barcelona, and substituting a six-core part code named Istanbul

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Homeless veterans need your help this holiday
Updated On: Dec 20 2013 06:09:30 PM EST
A Boston shelter serving men and women who served their country needs your help this holiday season.
The New England Center for Homeless Veterans generally houses 300 people a night.
"When I first came here, I was in tears. I was just a mess. It's a very humbling experience. But they took care of me on day one," said Air Force veteran Barbara Barnes.
Barnes was once a resident but is now a volunteer. She was sorting through a holiday donation of 100 coats that just arrived.
"One lady in the community donated all of these coats. Brand new coats. And that's just tremendous," she said.
Army National Guard veteran Randel McKissick, a Worcester native, now lives at the shelter.
"When I first came in and started seeing the trees coming in and people decorating, it made me feel at home -- knowing that there are actually people out there that care enough to come inside here and do this for us," McKissick said.
During the holidays, the center encourages veterans to detail what they need through the Adopt A Vet program.
"They can make out a wish list. And then the sponsors here of the program then actually go out and shop for those specific gifts," said the Center's Andy McCawley.
Topping veterans' lists this year are warm clothing, boots, gloves, toiletries and gift cards.
McCawley says the community tries very hard to keep pace with the need.
"It's impressive, it's humbling and it's really just inspiring to see the outpouring," he said. "They just keep showing up with bags and boxes."
Barnes said giving back is helping her move forward. More than seven years sober, she's training now to be a substance abuse counselor.
"It's changed my life 360 degrees," she said. "They were so good to me. And they're so good to every veteran that walks through that door."

With a track record of just shy of two years, Capstone Equities Capital Management has opened its first hedge fund to outside investors.
The New York-based firm, a division of private equity real estate firm Capstone Equities, hopes to raise $50 million for the fund, which has returned 24.33% since its launch in May 2010. The fund makes concentrated investments in real estate and other companies with physical asset value, HFMWeek reports, as part of a value strategy. Among its portfolio companies are European real-estate companies, real-estate investment trusts, homebuilders, real-estate operators and retailers, metals and mining, and shipping companies.
"We are completely differentiated by our background as owners of real estate, which provides us proprietary ideas, access to information, and a total return philosophy that other investors in the Street do not have," Capstone founder and portfolio manager Josh Zamir told HFM.
Capstone will target global institutional investors. The fund has a $250,000 minimum investment requirement with a one-year lockup. It features monthly liquidity and charges 2% for management and 20% for performance.

Liked the shape and feel, and for flatware that has a designers thought and development it's wonderful. Packaging was of poor quality, I would think the something that looks this nice and has a designers appearance and comfort should have a package that is better than what it came in.

It's just like vorlaufing. The recirculation gets the bigger stuff out of the liquid and puts it on top of the grain bed.
Right, so I may as well just recirculate many gallons from my cooler before beginning to fly sparge, and it will have a similar effect?
I just built my first HERMs rig and used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The wort was really clear going into the kettle, but for me the real benefit with HERMs was that I was able to maintain my mash temp within 1 degree and not stress as much on brew day about hitting and maintaining my temps.
For clear wort I think using irish moss and cooling very quickly (CFC) for a good break was a bigger deal than recirculating with my set up.
I built my HERMS system a few years back and really notice the clarity when doing lighter beers. I find that the gradual gain bed compaction with continuous recirculation really helps get the fine bits out of the wort. On the same note continuous recirculating is not the only method/step to get good clarification, it's just one you can employ.
It also helps to keep consistent uniform mash temps. I was mostly doing step mashes, and the HERMS system allows me to do this vary easy and consistently.
The main advantage of recirculating the wort in a RIMS or HERMS system is the ability to maintain a more uniform mash temperature. Acceptable wort clarity can be achieved by manually doing the vorlauf. IMO, wort clarity as it exits the mash tun has little bearing on the clarity of the finished beer. It will soon be muddied up when you add the hops and even more so when you pitch the yeast. My beer is never initially clear at the start of fermentation. Normally, suspended matter will drop out and the beer will clear when fermentation is complete. This is not always the case as it depends much on the recipe and beer style. You can improve/enhance the finished beer clarity by using Irish Moss, gelatin, Polyclar or isinglas. Cold conditioning will also do much for beer clarity. IMO, too much emphasis is placed on the clarity of the wort coming out of the mash tun. The important thing is to try to prevent large particulates from entering the boil kettle. These can be particles of grain husk which can lead to astringency problems when boiled. Fortunately, it's usually very easy to keep them out of the kettle by vorlaufing a gallon or two before running off the wort. Sometimes only a few quarts will do the job.
Ok. I get it.
In photographs from some commercial breweries i have seen rotating rakes in the lauter tun which rotates and moves up and down. Surly this would mess up the grain bed?
How do these work around the problem?
Typically those rakes, only rake a portion of the mash, leaving a solid filter bed underneath them still. Only promoting even water penetration through most of the bed.
HERMS will not equal clearer beer, as the particles that you are keeping out of the wort, are so large, they settle out easy in a fermentor anyway.
HERMS will produce extremely clear wort to the kettle, but this shouldnt have much, if any affect on your beer. Remember, you are getting clear wort, then you are pouring hops and such in there and muddying it all up anyway, right?
That being said, I love the HERMS and enjoy the repeatability that it gives. Same mash profile, every single time without fail, and without fuss.
When having such mash-stirrers, you basically just make sure that you shut the stirrer off during the last 10 minutes or so of your mashing process. That way the grain bed will settle and wort will clear up.
Mash stirrers in combination with recirculation in the HERMS gives as mentioned the possibility to quick get an even temperature throughout the the whole mash. Especially when you have a system that is bigger than let's say 5 gallons, then you otherwise will have quite some temperature fluctuations in the tun.
Additionally mash stirrers will help you not to get a stuck mash...which means that you can grind the malt finer than just crushing it and get a higher efficiency in your brewery.
There are however some that claim that constant stirring in the mash will lead to higher levels of tannins in the wort...never experienced any off taste in my brews yet regardless how much I have stirred....so my next project will be to build a mash stirrer like the one in this swedish thread (there are pictures to look at, so dont fear the swedish. ) http://www.humle.se/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=2186
