As a result, we launched the ALA Diversity Initiative, which is designed to increase awareness of and sensitivity to the differences among our workforce and to advance the concepts of inclusiveness and acceptance. To help meet these goals, ALA has created leadership panels, educational programs and the new Diversity and Inclusion Scorecard - Roadmap to Change for Law Firms and ALA Chapters.
The Committee on Diversity and Inclusion oversees ALA's Diversity Initiative and is dedicated to providing each ALA member the tools and resources required to be a leader in meeting ALA's stated goal. For more information, please contact us.
Measuring the Impact of ALA Chapters and Workplaces on Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession
The ALA Committee on Diversity and Inclusion developed the ALA Diversity and Inclusion Scorecard Roadmap to Change as a means to understand and to recognize success in workplace diversity and inclusion. Members of the Committee presented a session during ALA's 2013 Annual Conference & Exposition and two sessions during ALA's 2013 Chapter Leadership Institute.
When legal professionals talk about achieving greater diversity and inclusion, what does that mean? Have you wondered how your firm or chapter's efforts compare to others? Have you wanted to start a diversity and inclusion effort, but do not know where to start? The ALA Diversity & Inclusion Scorecard Roadmap to Change is a resource that will assist those who have had a diversity and inclusion program and those wanting to start one.
The latest version of the Chapter Scorecard is now available, and the Committee is now looking for Chapters to be part of the initial group to use it. The Law Firm Scorecard is also in development and slated for rollout later in 2014.
For more information, or to view the Scorecards, see the links below:
The ALA Committee on Diversity & Inclusion is dedicated to providing each ALA member with the tools and resources required to be a leader in meeting ALA's goal to "increase diversity and inclusion in the Association, in the legal management community and in all legal service organizations." We are working and living in a sea of change. The Committee's ALA Diversity & Inclusion Progress Report provides an overview of how we are here to help each member manage the many changes occurring throughout the legal profession.
"Diversity is the mix. Inclusion is making the mix work." - Andrés Tapia

text: I saw a short article discussing over signing. Even though the SEC passed a rule for a max of 25, a team can go past 25 using a loophole that allows the additional recruits to sign early. Can you explain how the early signing process works and how it affects the overall scholarships?

Updated: January 9, 2013 1:45AM
Time to unite...
Whether or not you agree with Obama being re-elected, we should all get together and unite. Let's make America the strong country she once was that we can all be proud of. God bless America and God bless our military near and far and let's keep them safe. Hey, let's start flying some American flags to show our support for this great country.
... Or not
Romney didn't have a chance with the 10 million freeloaders using my tax dollars to get him elected.
One-party country
The Electoral College makes it increasingly impossible for a Republican to win the presidency. We should do away with the Electoral College and just use the popular vote or we will be a one-party country just like the Soviet Union and other tyrannies.
Just one
Why is everybody beefing so much about Juan Rivera suing Lake County? Look at all the rest of these people that have been let out of jail on DNA evidence. Rivera is just one of them.
Next four years
Another election has come and gone with very disappointing results, again. I just hope and pray for the sake of this country that in the next four years it does get better. It's a long shot and I hope to be proven wrong. I hope this man does do his job for a change. All you welfare kings and queens that voted for him and think that's the way to go, I'd like to talk to you all again in another four years and see how that's working for you.
Reds and blues
The election is over! It's not about red and blue anymore! We're purple now so forget about not getting along! We're united and you work for the voters, not the red or blue team!
Two hurricanes
If you think the Democrats live in La-La Land when Hurricane Sandy blew in, what do you call the Republicans when Hurricane Katrina came to town? It was in much worse condition and things were being totally disrupted, unlike New York or New Jersey. They at least have some help and things are being taken care of.
The easy way
The election is over and it seems like the American public has spoken. One of the main issues of this election seemed to be to demonize the rich for the sake of the poor. I think I've decided that rather than put forth a hard-working effort to be rich so the government can take it, I might as well just be poor and let the government give it to me. It's much easier that way.
Doubled prices
Gas prices continued to drop before the election. Obama isn't back in office 24 hours and up went the gas prices. The price of a gallon of gas has doubled through his first term. Does that mean he'll double it again since he needed a second term to finish what he started?
Beach Park social
The Beach Park board meets twice monthly and basically it's a social gathering for those elected officials. We have very few, if any, citizens that show. We've got unkept yards, houses and most of the roads are patch jobs. We've had one new business in seven years that was paid with TIF money which uses tax money from other benefits to the village. We need leadership, we need it now and we need our existing board to step forward.
Golden eggs
The Cook County Board, and by extension the Democratic Party, never heard of the goose that lays the golden eggs. By raising taxes on cigarettes to total almost $7 a pack, adding slot machine taxes of $1,000 a machine and taxing video poker machines, they will find they are killing the goose.
GOP candidates
I'm an independent voter and have voted Republican about 70 percent of the time. But if the Republican Party keeps putting goofy people up for election, then I vote Democrat.
Dancing in the streets
How could the Democrats give Madigan and Cullerton a super majority after they have totally ruined the economy of Illinois? How could the Democrats vote in an incumbent with a 7.9 percent unemployment rate, 49 million people on food stamps and $6 trillion in new debt during his term? This means that Bernanke will keep printing more worthless currency until the dollar collapses. Yet the Democrats are dancing in the streets because they are going to get more free stuff. This is a nightmare!

Microsoft Names Windows 8 Versions (You Might Want To Get Comfortable)
News updates all day from your Fast Company editors.
Late yesterday Microsoft revealed what it would be calling its upcoming Windows update. There are three versions, starting with Windows 8--the plain vanilla "one size doesn't quite fit all, at all" variety. Then there's Windows 8 Pro with boosted encryption, device managment, connectivity, and whatnot. Lastly, Windows RT, a flavor of Windows 8 for ARM-powered devices like tablets. And, oh, yes, there's a fourth version mentioned as a footnote on MS's post: Windows 8 Enterprise, which'll have extra features that "enable PC management and deployment, advanced security, virtualization, new mobility scenarios," and more. Are you confused? Microsoft has long faced criticism for "spamming" buyers with numerous Windows versions, sometimes for no clear purpose other than lining MS's pockets. This list is smaller than Windows 7 suffered, but it still needs a cross-reference table to explain the different packages' powers.

What's the commission's mission?
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Your group has some muscle, including subpoena powers.
The best way to do this is with voluntary cooperation. All the federal agencies involved -- the regulators, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac -- my hope is that we will get cooperation because it's the right thing for the country. I would also hope that I'm not naive here, that the financial world, the CEOs of all those big banks that were salvaged by millions of dollars of money from the taxpayers, would do what's right for the national interest.
This is an inquiry and an investigation in the best sense of the word. It's not a star chamber proceeding. It's not just about trying to find 20 perps and line them up, because that would, in a sense, minimize the story. It's not a theatrical exercise just to go get some people; it's not a whitewash, nor is it purely a theoretical academic story.
We have the authority to make criminal referrals -- that's not the primary purpose of our inquiry. But in the course of our work, we may well come across instances of criminality. I suspect we will also come across practices that were wholly legal and condoned and applauded that are deeply troubling.
Is it possible some people still don't want the system to change?
There are people for whom these years of excess were profitable. There's a lot of people, I think, who would like to brush by this and say, "Well, stuff happens." Or [who] aren't particularly anxious for self-examination lest it interfere with what we've been doing all along. This inquiry is willing to overturn any rock. There's a lot of people nervous out there right now. They want to know: Is this just some show to hang responsibility on a few people? My answer is no. But if people have broken the law and are culpable, that will get laid out. Some people are worried about whether they're going to get embarrassed. I think people want to know if it's going to be a partisan witch hunt. Unfortunately, what happened here [wasn't] confined to any one party.
How did you get the job?
The time after the [2006 California] governor's race was frustrating, no question about it. I'm someone who's interested in public service. I have energy, I have ideas, and when you're out, you're out. When you lose, there is no medals ceremony where you get the silver medal. I found it frustrating. My wife would say to me, "Something is going to come along that will fit your skills, where you can make a difference." The speaker [Nancy Pelosi] called and asked, would I have an interest, and I told her that I would. One of my good friends said, "This is probably the most important thing you will have been asked to do for your country." I've spent half my life equally in the public sector and in the private sector in finance. I'm very conscious of the responsibility I have. The speaker's one request was, "Do a good job for the country." So all of us [commissioners] feel a special responsibility. And the stakes are not small.
You're a finance guy -- did you have an inkling that any of this was coming?
If you look back at 2002, 2003, there was evidence that the financial markets were already ridden with corruption. My God, we had Enron, we had WorldCom, a whole spate of scandals; none of that was ever cured. I remember Angelo Mozilo [the Countrywide chief executive now charged with civil fraud] telling me one day that he thought I was just too tough on CEOs. After Enron and WorldCom, we were like that person who had the heart attack but went right back to the old bad habits. The scandals of 2002, 2003 were the early warning bells that the system had spiraled out of control.
Are you hearing from the public?
I've been struck by the people who have come up to me and said, essentially, "Do a good job; this is really important." The other thing is the people with extraordinary careers who want to work for the commission. It's been stunning. I remember going home with a stack of resumes from hundreds of people who have said, "I'm willing to give up all I'm doing to be part of this."
Can we watch it on television?
One of my hopes is that people have a chance to view our work, on the Web or on TV. I hope this will be accessible; and that doesn't mean dumbed-down, that means understandable. We've got to tell it in a way people will be interested [in].
Have you read the 1934 Pecora Commission report, the one that laid out the causes of the Depression and prompted the major reforms?
It's on my nightstand. The stack's getting bigger: the Pecora Commission report, John Kenneth Galbraith's "A Short History of Financial Euphoria," Robert Shiller's book, "Animal Spirits," Mark Zandi's book, "Financial Shock." What the Pecora Commission did was lay bare the secrets of Wall Street for Americans to see. I still think the workings of Wall Street are a mystery to a lot of people. Sometimes these things were made to be mystical beyond the reach of average people for a purpose. I think one of the things we're going to find out here is that much of what went wrong was not only permitted but exalted.
Are you concerned about perceptions of partisanship?
While we [commissioners] all have our opinions, and each commissioner brings their own history and experiences, the script isn't already in place. The millions of foreclosures have affected Republicans and Democrats and independents; the 401(k)s of Republicans and Democrats and independents have been wiped out. I think that we are a bipartisan commission with an important nonpartisan national mission.
As state treasurer, you called out Wall Street on its investment and pension practices. Would California's predicament be different if the 2006 election had turned out differently for you?
I think we'd be in for a tough go in any event, but it didn't have to be this bad. The fact is, Gov. Schwarzenegger was reckless on the way up. Even in the best of times, [he] was borrowing billions -- and he's been sadly incompetent on the way down. More than anything, I hurt for what's happening to students going to college, the poor working mothers. It would have been a tough go, but there's no reason it needed to be this bad.
Is this crisis a defining, or maybe redefining, moment for capitalism?
Let's put it this way: If this shock doesn't do it, I don't know what would.

MySQL is the most popular open source database in the world. It's frequently used to support Web 2.0 applications and cloud deployments.
However, scaling MySQL can be a challenge when workload demand starts to strain the database. To address this challenge, STEC benchmarked the performance of its s1120 PCIe Accelerator against six high-performance SAS drives under a MySQL workload.
This webinar will present the findings of those benchmark tests, and demonstrate how the STEC s1120 PCIe Accelerator dramatically increased MySQL performance in both scale-up and scale-out configurations. Watch now to learn how your organization can benefit from this simpler architecture for a longer period of time before having to consider scale-out options.

Vt. lawmakers hit Shumlin on mental health cutsTOBY TALBOT / AP PHOTO
Construction workers make progress on the new state hospital Tuesday in Berlin.
MONTPELIER Some Vermont lawmakers Tuesday said proposed budget cuts by the Shumlin administration would undermine efforts to improve the states mental health system.
They voiced some of their toughest criticism of the administration on mental health issues since Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011 flooded and forced the closure of the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury.
Lawmakers and the administration have worked since the storm to develop a new mental health system, calling for replacement of the 54-bed Waterbury hospital with a new, 25-bed hospital in Berlin, smaller locked units in Brattleboro and Rutland and a series of unlocked community-based facilities around the state.
But lawmakers say the budget proposal, presented by Gov. Peter Shumlin on Jan. 24, contains features that are likely to throw the plan into disarray.
Were not even out of the gate yet, and the budgets are being compromised, said Rep. Alice Emmons, D-Springfield and chairwoman of the House Committee on Corrections and Institutions.
Shumlins proposal would close a seven-bed locked facility in Middlesex when the Berlin hospital opens in 2014, and it contains no money for the four less secure step-down beds planned for Rutland and the seven beds planned for northwestern Vermont.
Rep. Anne Donahue, R-Northfield, said in an interview that the step-down beds, geared to patients who have been hospitalized and are ready to begin the transition back into the community, should be considered key to the success of the plan in which the main state hospital would be replaced by a smaller hospital.
Donahue, a senior member of the House Human Services Committee, said cuts to community-based mental health services have been common in the past when budgets were tight. But she said it is disturbing that after crafting a major redesign of the mental health system and before the new design is completely in place, Vermont is proposing budget cuts.
You had to know that over time it would shrink back, but Im surprised (it would happen) in the first year, she said.
Top Shumlin aides, acting Mental Health Commissioner Mary Moulton and Finance and Management Commissioner Jim Reardon, said the budget proposal should not be taken as a sign the administration is relaxing its commitment to revamp the mental health system.
Planning for the four beds in Rutland was not complete in time for budget drafting so they were not included, Moulton said. We do need those beds, she said, adding that they are expected to be included in a later budget, perhaps as soon as the middle of fiscal 2014 next winter.
On the seven beds planned for but not budgeted for in northwestern Vermont, Moulton and Reardon said the administration was waiting to see how the newly revamped system develops before deciding how many beds should be acquired and what types of patients they should serve.
Reardon said holding off on some of the expenditures now will enable state officials to reassess as we go along in building out the new system.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The Vermont House advanced a marijuana dispensary bill Wednesday that includes a...

Pros – Duke is a fun campus with tons of jobs available for undergraduate students. You will have a lot of competition for jobs, but if you search, there will be no issue.
Cons – The competition for jobs is the toughest part. When there are fantastic opportunities available, students across campus jump at their chance and are tough to beat out.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

The Daily Dish is brought to you by:
Rihanna was monkeying around in Thailand…and it led to multiple arrests. While in Southeast Asia for her Diamonds World Tour, the pop star stopped in Phuket, Thailand for some fun in the sun. While there, she got familiar with the local flora and fauna- on Friday, she snapped a selfie with a monkey and posted it on Instagram with the caption "Look who was talkin dirty to me!" But while the singer is used to attracting attention for her racy photos, this one made the news for a different reason- the monkey (which was actually a slow loris) is a protected primate in Thailand, and harboring it is against the law. The photo eventually made its way to local authorities, who arrested two Thai men, aged 16 and 20, for using the slow loris as tourist bait. The poachers face up to four years behind bars and a $1300 fine.
Taylor Swift upheld her rep as the nicest pop star in the music biz last weekend, when she met with a young fan who was injured at one of her concerts over the summer. Grace Markel, 7, of Columbia, MO, was walking into Swift's concert in August when she was hit by a speeding SUV. Markel suffered multiple skull fractures and head lacerations, a severe concussion and road rash all over her face and body, and spent several days in the hospital. Markel is making a slow but steady recovery, and as a treat, her parents got her tickets to see Taylor Swift in Nashville last Saturday. To the family's surprise, Swift invited them backstage before the show, where she greeted Markel by name, posted for photos and signed autographs. Markel's mother, Amy, said the exchange was "warm and genuine" and that they "feel so very lucky and blessed."
Britney Spears' upcoming two-year Las Vegas residency is apparently not off to a very good start. Ticket sales for the pop singer's stage show, Britney: Piece of Me, have been dismal at best, industry insiders told RadarOnline.com. Everyone involved with the show is reportedly very worried. Spears has only sold out three of the first 16 shows running Dec. 27 through Feb. 22. "After spending hundreds of thousands on promo, they expected to instantly sell out all of the first 16 shows, but they didn't come close!" a source told Radar. In comparison, Las Vegas residencies in the past such as Celine Dion and Shania Twain sold out their first block of shows immediately.
Kanye West is known for his highly quotable interviews, and his latest sit-down with the UK's BBC Radio 1 is no exception. The first installment of the four-part, in-depth interview aired yesterday and it contains some real gems. In a clip from the interview, Yeezy told DJ Zane Lowe that he's "the biggest [rock star] of them all" and that his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy "could be considered perfect." The remaining portions of the interview will air tonight, Wednesday and Thursday.

The "What's Your Passion?" campaign is meant to appeal to adventure seekers, festival fanatics, nature lovers, entertainment connoisseurs, professional shoppers, gaming fans, sports nuts, romantics and urban explorers of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles. It appears on billboards, in magazines and on popular radio stations throughout the San Francisco Bay area and Sacramento.
"We are thrilled to be a part of this fresh, new campaign, 'What's Your Passion?'" said Silver Legacy Resort Casino General Manager Gary Carano. "Silver Legacy is proud to be partnering with the RSCVA and the other partners in reminding northern California about all the great activities and special events that the Reno/Tahoe region has to offer."
"This is very exciting news," said RSCVA President and CEO Christopher Baum. "Not only will this help increase our exposure of Reno Tahoe USA in northern California, but the addition of Eldorado and Silver Legacy shows greater variety to potential visitors who will be impacted by the messaging, and further expresses the diversity of the region."
Eldorado and Silver Legacy join four other community partners — Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, Circus Circus Reno, John Ascuaga's Nugget and Peppermill Resort Spa Casino — increasing the total media budget to $1.85 million, and expanding the "reach and frequency" of the campaign. The move also adds to the selection of partner-created "Passion Packages," which provide an easy way for visitors to purchase multiple activities along with their guestroom.
All radio, billboard and magazine advertisements direct prospects to go to VisitRenoTahoe.com, where information about our region and specifics about the six partner resorts and their special packages are prominently featured.

This deficit supports the hypothesis that between 100 and 200 million years after its formation, Earth was made up of an ocean of molten magma, which gradually cooled. The work, which was carried out in collaboration with the Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon (CNRS / Université Lyon 1 / ENS de Lyon) and the University of Copenhagen, was published on 1 November 2012, in the journal Nature.
Earth is believed to have formed 4.58 billion years ago, by accretion of material in the Solar System. The heat produced by the accretion process, as well as by the decay of radioactive elements, caused this material to melt. As a result, 100 to 200 million years after its formation, Earth must have been made up of an ocean of molten magma, in the center of which a metallic core formed. The ocean gradually cooled. Earth's crust then appeared, and the process of continental drift began. The crystallization of the molten magma is likely to have been accompanied by the chemical layering of Earth: concentric layers with distinct chemical compositions became differentiated. It is the signature of these primordial inhomogeneities that the researchers found in the Isua rocks.

Lena Dunham appeared on Alec Baldwin's podcast Here's The Thing this week and discussed everything from her favourite childhood shows (Canada's Under the Umbrella Tree made the list), how Lena moved from theatre to TV writing and her thoughts on pop star Rihanna.
Dunham, whose HBO show GIRLS has been an overnight phenomenon, winning Lena two Golden Globes at this year's ceremony, spoke out on the pop star, admitting that Rihanna's private life has impacted Dunham's feelings towards the singer's music. Dunham explains,
"[Being a role model] is amazing. It's an amazing thing and it's like, it's a platform that you have to take seriously. Which is why sometimes it's like I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it's like again, I don't want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna. Like you know, she left Barbados, she's had this amazing career, she's won a Grammy. She's talented. And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I'm 95 years old."
Me too, Lena. Me too.

by Zinta Aistars
He'd been dismissed twice from a neighboring university, and he could list a roster of colleges attended - then abandoned. But this time, he meant business. Richard Gibbs straightened his tie and walked into the admissions office of Kalamazoo College. At 33 years of age, he was about to request admission as a student.
"He had me at hello," Suzanne Lepley, admissions counselor, laughs. "You develop this sense about people ..."
Suzanne went to bat for Richard. True, he had dropped out of schools or schools had dropped him, but she sensed it was for lack of application, not for lack of smarts. What would be different this time?
"This time I had family support like I've never had it before," Richard says. To start, he was recently wed to Kalamazoo College alumna, Sarah Bingham '00, and his new wife sang the praises of her alma mater. He had two little daughters, Zoe (5) and Sophia (3) and a third on the way, depending on him and looking up to him as a role model. He had left a job as police officer, a position he had held for two years in the rural town of Allegan, just north of Kalamazoo. "All about busting meth labs," Richard says, shaking his head. So he had applied for, and gotten, a position as research associate at MPI Research. He has since been promoted to project leader of lab operations for the contract research company.
"MPI is where I met Sarah," he says, "and reconnected with my interest in science. I used to be interested in forensic science, then switched to economics. I'd finished the police academy, earned an associate's degree at another community college, obtained scholarships to attend university." He shrugs lightly, smiling wide. "Guess I didn't have the discipline back then to make it work. Or the support."
"He gave all the right reasons," Suzanne Lepley recalls Richard's bold entry into the admissions office. "He was honest about his past. Said he wanted his girls to see him graduate. He understood the difference between being a great world-learner and just getting a degree. Richard wanted to learn."
Suzanne spoke to Eric Staab, dean of admissions, about Richard, and they were in agreement: Richard deserved another chance. He would attend one class as a test run.
"I got an A," he grins.
"He aced it," Suzanne sighs happily. "I had no doubt he would. Richard is in his third quarter now, his grade point average is high, and he is still working and taking care of his family."
"I will not disappoint the people who have taken a risk on me.""You know, when my wife first suggested I try Kalamazoo College," Richard says, "I laughed. Why would 'K' take me? A place of such a high academic reputation, the Ivy League of the Midwest, and me a two-time flunky. It can be intimidating. But now that I'm here, my professors know me by name, everyone's been very helpful. My employer is letting me work flextime. As long as I put in my 40 hours, I can leave work whenever I need to attend class. I'm taking two classes per quarter-and I'll admit, it still seems kind of surreal. But I will not disappoint the people who have taken a risk on me."
Older than most fellow students, Richard appreciates the relevance of class subjects. He enjoys discussing economics and applies it to his life as a family man, a working man. He won't be participating in study abroad (his own family roots reach to France, so he travels overseas on occasion) and will do independent study rather than an internship.
"Professor Hannah McKinney has been something of a mentor to me in economics," Richard says. "She's encouraging me to take more challenging classes. She thinks I have a future in management." He flashes that winning grin again. "So that's the plan. It's not if I graduate this time. It's when."

Cordingley served as the Head Coach for the Toronto Rock for the last four years, and led his team to the Champion's Cup in 2011. He replaces Darris Kilgour behind the bench, who has been the Bandits coach since 2002. In addition to his coaching career, Cordingley played pro lacrosse from 1993 to 2001, including seven with the Bandits. He ranks in the top 10 in Bandits history in goals (96), assists (137) and points (233) and won two championships with the black and orange. *Photo Courtesy of the AP.


text: El Toro has yet to carry passengers, so I don't think a fair matchup is in place until both coasters are operational. But as far as speculating which one is better, based on photographs and videos, I would have to say The Voyage will take the pie, easily. Like stated above, it's just much more "complete" of a wood coaster. El Toro's track length is much too short for a coaster of that height. That's not saying El Toro won't be a good coaster, but we're doing a matchup here and it looks like The Voyage won't have much competition in it.

Atlanta >Hotels & Motels > The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta
181 Peachtree Street, N.E, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030333.758414 -84.387589
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Downtown, Northeast
Form over substance - Good if you hate food – The best one can charitably say is, the Music was good and the presentation was too. The service, while friendly was slow and the management was ineffectual and inexperienced.
We chose the venue for our wedding anniversary and are sorry that we did. My wife had the Creamy Lobster Salad, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Buttermilk Dressing which while it looked beautiful, was not creamy and tasted from a light vinegar used on their shredded cucumbers. No sauce came for the fried green tomatoes and the lobster was rubbery. I had the She=Crab soup with peppered sherry which had the pepper but no sherry. It was sub=par Campbell?s soup with what might have been a shred or two of crab meat.
Now came the really bad stuff. My wife?s Redfish was cooler than room temperature, devoid of any sauce and drier than North Texas, this summer. We sent it back for a simple veggie plate. My filet looked good as it was perfectly colored to my order, but it was tough and flavorless. It did come with a red wine reduction sauce that was room temperature, but tasty and in fact was my wife?s dinner, a fork full of my potato and some sauce. When we informed them of her cold dry fish, they took her order for the veggie plate and she and I waited 15 minutes for her veggies which, of course made my steak and baked potato cold and greasy. It would not be gallant for a gentleman, on his anniversary to eat while his wife waited, and waited and waited. No offer was made to replace both meals at the same time as is befitting of a brand like the Ritz-Carlton or even Wendy?s.
Sadly, when my wife?s replacement dinner arrived, it too was cold. The Mac& Cheese was fresh Kraft?s, though. I asked the Captain/Maitre for fresh hot wine reduction sauce to try and salvage my cold steak and he brought out a cold bowl of it. The Maitre D apologized and told us to save room for dessert on the house. The Ice Cream Sundae arrived 15 minutes after ordered and thankfully, it too was cold. At the end, over coffee, the Maitre D informed us that the ?Food & Beverage Director? was picking up the tab. Even if true, one would expect that the Maitre D to either take that responsibility or at least give the impression that he had it rather than an admission that he was little more than a busboy in a business suit.
This hotel is quite good. The staff is energetic and always have a great attidue. I have stayed here twice before and their room service was quite satisfactory both times. The room was clean and well stocked. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Great Hotel BUT..... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

BEST place for quiet lunch for 2 – The Cheater's Booth is fantastic! Order lunch, close the curtains and enjoy the food and each other in complete privacy. The servers are friendly (and curteous in announcing their presence before opening the curtain), the food is good, and there is no better place in Atlanta to enjoy the company. No need to order dessert.
Excellent service!!! – My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary this past weekend. This was my first time staying at the Ritz Carlton and I just have to say that the service, from the front desk to the vallet, was the best I have experienced. We ordered breakfast via room service and the food was great! The room was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. I highly recommend this hotel!
no doubt, they are the best – We had a room facing a white wall, but who cares? When you stay here, the staff takes better care of you than your mom (sorry, mom). I didn't know how to tie a bowtie, one of the staff found a tie store next door to do it for me - he walked me there and back -cool!
Waste of Your Money and Time – I brought clients out for what I thought would be an impressive meal but I was sorely disappointed in the food ! The fish was dry and vegetables were limp and too buttery. Everyone agreed that the overall taste of the food was bland and unappealing. I would never come here again and would recommend to others to do the same. There are way to many great restaurants in Atlanta to waste your time and money here.
Horrible Food – We went to the Atlanta Grill with two other couples and none of us plan to return. Although the service was lovely the food was horrible. Every single person out of six of us. The steak was tough and overcooked and all other of the dishes were bland with no taste. I could have cooked a better meal for everyone. The only decent item was a salad and who can not do that????????
Do not try the Atlanta Grill. You will be very disappointed and it is a waist of time. The Ritz Carlton should be ashamed of the food coming out of this restaurant!
Nice Hotel – Everything is nice about this hotel. The rooms are large and clean. The lobby is beautiful The restaurants are great. and the service is outstanding.

There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.
It spits in your face, it steals your breath, it sends shivers down your spine. Mother Nature is relentless. But even in extreme weather conditions, you are focused on the ride because of cutting edge technology that stands the test of any cold weather warrior. Inspired by the will and the freedom that only exist on the singletrack trodden mountain bike trails slick with mud and resounding the spiritual meditation between you and the outdoors.
• Opaque mesh construction that provides extreme breathability.• Uncomparable comfort and flexibility because of its spandex content which reduces chafe.• Dries very quickly.• This knit : 80% polyester, 20% spandex.• Like all knits, it is recommended to avoid abrasive materials and surfaces.

In an email today to The Star, Col. Brent Bolander, depot commander, said the facility will hire 294 temporary employees starting next week. The new employees will work for one year to help the depot meet its 2014 workload schedule, Bolander said.
"Interested individuals will compete for the positions using the official job site for federal government vacancies, www.usajobs.gov," Bolander said. "The vacancies are open to all U.S. citizens."
The depot employs almost 3,000 workers who repair, modify and upgrade combat vehicles and small arms for the military. Bolander said the facility does not yet have enough workers to meet its workload demands.
"Our workload has increased from fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2014," Bolander said. "For example, we executed 3.076 million direct labor hours in fiscal year 2013 and we anticipate executing 3.3 million direct labor hours in fiscal year 2014."
Bolander said some of the depot's main programs for the 2014 fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, include repairing and upgrading small arms and Stryker combat vehicles. He said the depot needs temporary employees to work as painters, heavy vehicle mechanics and small arms repairers.
The new hires will replace the rest of the 371 temporary workers the depot laid off March 30 due to federal budget cuts. The depot added 80 temporary jobs in May due to its heavy workload.
Shrene Funderburg, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1945, which represents depot workers, said the union will do what it can to help the depot workers laid off in March get their jobs back if they want them.
"We're going to try to get everybody back, but the jobs have to be available to everybody," Funderburg said.
Funderburg said the new employees will definitely be needed to meet workload demands.
"We were going to be behind schedule if we didn't get those," Funderburg said. "We have a lot of work to do."
Funderburg said the union requested the depot leadership hire more workers several months ago when it became apparent that the existing employees were having trouble meeting the depot's workload schedule.
Sherri Sumners, who oversees the Anniston-based Operation 1st Rate job placement program, said her organization knows about the depot's hiring plans and is ready to help residents apply for positions.
Operation 1st Rate, located in Quintard Mall in Oxford, was created with federal funding two years ago to mainly help workers displaced due to the closing of the Anniston chemical weapons incinerator and to budget cuts at the depot. The program's free services include helping build resumes, teaching basic computer skills and providing job-hunting assistance.
Sumners said since its inception, the program has helped nearly 600 area residents find new jobs. Also, the organization recently expanded and bought five extra computers with the federal grant money it received this year.
Sumners said former depot workers and any other unemployed area residents are encouraged to visit Operation 1st Rate if they need help applying for a depot job.
"Some people have come in to already to apply," Sumners said. "Anyone is certainly welcome to come in if they need assistance."

After I did the Superman, I decided to do my favourite, Batman! I really enjoyed working on this one.. Probably he is mysterious Caped Crusaders and have more character than Man of Steel. "Gothic" Gotham as the night backdrop with Batman's sidekick, Robin. And his infamous nemesis, The Joker.
Work on with Gotham skyline was time consuming than working on Metropolis. I try to make Gotham building look nothing like Superman's location. I always think Gotham look similar to Pittsburgh and New York City with the neo-gothic and Edwardian architectures. While Metropolis filled with futuristic Art-Deco-style buildings, a cross between Miami and Los Angeles.
Same medium as I did with Superman, Pentel pocketbrush, and Copic markers.
