Sigh. 17 months out. It is definitely better the busier I am. I like MTT' s suggestions above. Time for me to kick this habit. 45 days? I'm going for it!!!!
The truth hurts, but I have never seen it cause the pain that lies do.
It gets really tough when I see WH speak and act in what I call, "Affair mode." Times I see him reverting to silence. No sharing of thoughts. Verbal outbursts of how our family fails him. I don't like that person. It is not the man I married. Every non-spoken thought makes me think of the affair. Every selfish word (He wants perfection) is a red flag that tells me he could cheat again.
Note: His lashing out is not communication.
[This message edited by Elpis at 2:23 AM, July 21st (Monday)]
It doesn't hurt anymore but I still think of it. Probably like I would think of it if I had a dread disease like cancer. There is my life before the affair and after the affair.
I knew I would never forget. That was one of the things I considered when we reconciled.
I can't even say I have triggers anymore and it doesn't hurt. It is just a passing thought.
Stillstanding: a habit takes about that long. So, I realized that I must first IDENTITY WHEN I most likely think of it...cleaning house, driving, cooking...starting with those three I will pick something to think instead...wonder what would be good?
Good Book
working coming up
my cat
My friend 6 years out thinks of it every day. Hubby thinks of it every day and tries hard to distract himself.
Hugs to everyone!!!
me (WW/BS): 48
him: (BS/WH)52
4 kiddos in mid 20's
Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave. Tell the truth and dont take any shit.
The only reason he is getting a 4th chance is because our counsslor says he acted out of an addiction. A sex addiction, and, the counselor says my WS is working on it and is not likely to cheat as long as he remains in SA therapy.
However, I have to put a lot of faith in what the counselor says.
I do think of the A every day and it still hurts. I try to tell myself that was the past and to move on but I was so devastated by it. i don't think I'll ever completely get over it. I am learning to accept it but, my life, my dreams, my expectations seem to have beemn permanently altered and I doubt there will ever be a day I don't think about it.
Wow! Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunately, they are making me feel worse!!! Lol! Thinking I should schedule an appt for that lobotomy!!!
I don't think of it every single day. Sometimes I lose track of how long it's been since I thought about it. And sometimes when I do think about it, it's really brief and passes quickly.
You are getting a skewed response. People posting on a forum like this are likely to be the ones still thinking about it.
When I felt I knew everything, why it happened, how it happened, and that my wife was all back in and really was completely and truly sorry and felt that it would not happen again, that's when I stopped thinking about it every day.
The commonly accepted time frame to reach that point that I've read about is 2-5 years. It happened for me at a little less than 2 years. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that it will ever happen.
This is how trauma works. We replay it over and over in our head. Sometimes it makes sense, other times it does not. We need to feel safe and this is a natural control mechanism so that we're on guard because our world, as we know it, is or has been in danger. Folks - be easy and kind with yourself!
It's not crushing anymore. It's tolerable. It doesn't stop me and bring me to my knees anymore. But my gosh, who knew how painful and long-lasting it would be before it happened to us?
I believe this is my new reality.
I would like to somehow get rid of all the imaginary conversations that go on in my head like what I wish I would have said differently to the COW or how I wish I could redo this conversation with WH before the A or what would i say if I ran into the OW now. Gosh, my brain has spent so much energy on these fictional conversations and I know it is such a waste of time and energy, argh.

By day, Mike Dromey works for the railroad.
At night, you can find him in his garage, behind his Hawk scroll saw, cutting out a new wooden creation.
"I just enjoy the woodworking," he says. "It's nice to know you can take a board and make anything out of it. You get ot see peoples' reaction when you make something for them. You know that every piece is different."
Mike is a whiz at the saw and can make just about anything.
Mike uses recycled wood to make his unique hand crafted gifts. Wood that's made right here in the U.S.
"All the woods that I use and produce right here in my shop are U.S.-grown and harvested hardwoods," Dromey says. "I prefer not to use hardwoods that would be considered exotic."
You can find Mike's gifts at Boutique 1631 in downtown Augusta, or at his Facebook page: The Hardwood Tree. There, you can see pictures and also put in an order with Mike.

Sage Advice for Seniors: When your children protest, show them what a retirement community is all about
There are a few "standard" preconceived notions people have to get past before they make the decision to move to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). These include the typical outdated views on food, atmosphere and the overall false idea that any place where older adults live together must be a nursing home. These misconceptions are quickly squashed after a visit or two to get a true picture of the lifestyle, services and amenities offered.
But every so often there's another interested party who has their own misconceptions: the adult children of older adults.
More than ever before, seniors are choosing to move to CCRCs before it becomes a necessity. This can be hard for their children to understand. They think, "But you're still young and active. Why would you want to move now?" And that's precisely it. People want to make that move now because they're young and active. By making the decision to move at an earlier age, people can get more out of the worry-free lifestyle. The people I see who are happiest with their decision are those who made the decision on their terms, because they wanted to, not because they had to.
Adult children will also cite finances as a point of contention. They're worried that their money will run out, or that their parents are throwing their money away. It's always a good idea to check the prospective communities' estate protection plans. For example, many retirement communities offer unlimited lifecare, which means 92 percent of the resident's entrance fee will be returned to them or their estate, if they leave the community for any reason. Plus, unlimited lifecare provides certain tax benefits and below-market health care costs that make the CCRC model attractive. People also find that, in the long run, it actually makes more financial sense to move to a CCRC than it does to stay in their home.
There are plenty of other reasons I've heard adult children offer as to why they don't support their parents' decision. They always mean well, but the fact is, they don't always have all the information, or the full scope of what the community provides.
If you're at a point in your life where a CCRC makes sense to you, but your children are protesting, my advice is to be honest with them. There's no shame in saying, "I've worked hard, and it's time for me to live my life to the fullest extent." Explain to them that it makes you feel better knowing your children won't have to worry about your future care.
It also helps for adult children to see for themselves what life is like at a CCRC. Invite them to visit the community with you to meet with a sales counselor. They'll see that it's quite the opposite of the dreary institutional building they may be picturing in their minds. In fact, they'll see what you see: a new world of opportunities and a much-deserved worry-free lifestyle. You'll be surprised how quickly their question will change from "Why would you want to move now?" to "Why haven't you moved yet?"

- Delicious!!waltVIPDined on 11/21/2014We ate here on a recommendation of a friend and are so glad we did. I don't actually care for Indian food but this place was special. We had a great waiter, Vick, who really helped us with recommendations for dishes and everything he recommended was so good! I had a lobster dish followed by a plum pudding dessert that were delish. I also appreciated their attention to detail...they constantly refreshed the dishes and silverware on our table as if it were a five star restaurant and we love that. I also liked how they had a thick curtain in their vestibule to keep the frigid cold air from wafting in. We will definitely return and highly recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Lives up to the hype. Our server was so hospitable and helpful. We were on our on date night sans the kids. Recommend the pre-theatre menu that's available until 6:30. Able to get a good sampling of offerings. Must get the palak chaat. Cardamom may be my new favorite ice cream flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/20/2014We arrived early and were given a table. The service by our waitress Roxana was excellent in all respects. Their signature appetizer, a flashed fried spinach chat, was a big hit with everyone. The bhindi was good but a bit acidic. We had a birthday to celebrate and after I informed the waitress, they brought a very nice dessert - ice cream and gulab jamun - with a candle. In all, the service and great food made for a wonderful dinner experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The BEST restaurant in DC!BeBeWhyDined on 11/20/2014We eat at Rasika every 4 to 6 weeks. The depth and complexity of the flavors never disappoint. Try the Cauliflower Bezule as an appetizer and the Black Cod for your main course. Finish the meal with the cardamon ice cream! The staff always make us feel welcome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/20/2014Rasika is my favorite DC restaurant -- it consistently serves wonderful food. I also appreciate the quiet but attentive service. Just a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best Indian dinners I've hadPopocoloriDined on 11/20/2014Just the Palak Chaat is worth the trip: a lightly fried baby spinach with yogurt and tamarind. The Chicken Tika Masala was wonderfully tender. Great service too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/19/2014Our experience of dining at Rasika was really beyond amazing! The team of Haque and Santosh treated us so well, and we had a very special time. Every bite of everything we ate was not just delicious, but exquisite. We LOVED the Tandoori Salmon, which was very flavorful and at the same time, light as air. The spinach salad with Indian flavoring was fantastic. The trout appetizer was so delicate and delish. The homemade chutneys are fresh and you can really taste the ingredients. We also loved the Truffle Naan and the hot and spicy Chili Naan. My husband was thrilled with his Lamb Curry which is miles above any other you have ever tasted. Along with prosecco, a really good wine list and a delicious light Gulab Jamon with cinnamon/cardamom ice cream, we had one of the best dining experiences ever. Thank you, Rasika!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Girls Night OutGoodgirl2Dined on 11/18/2014My second dining at Rasika within a year. The first after a friend and I visited the Newsuem we dined there for lunch. We arrived early, no problem and was seated immediately. We had read the reviews from the "City Paper" so we selected some items from the article. Everything was perfection, the server, the cuisine, and the ambience. Last night there was four of us celebrating an early Thanksgiving together. We were seated by the window with the street view. Very private and warm. The server suggestions for one guest (first visit) was excellent along with the timing of the food. We were there for about two to three hours. The dining experience at Rasika is very calm and relaxing with the aroma and flavors of India.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Classy twist on Indian cuisine, ImpressivefunwithfoodDined on 11/18/2014Some very classy and innovative twists on Indian food and desserts. Coming originally from this ethnic background, I was/am very impressed to see how well Indian food can taste and be presented. Great place to introduce someone to the delights of Indian cuisine. Just the right blend of spices and smells in every dish. It was a hustling-bustling atmosphere, so definitely not a place for a quiet romantic dinner. The place was packed and noisy, testament to its popularity, even on a Tuesday nite!! Will definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable.EastoftheRiverDined on 11/16/2014Came down from Connecticut to take my mother to Rasika since she has wanted to go there for a while. Our meal was excellent, especially the appetizers. Jake was very attentive and explained the dishes with which we were not familiar. I would go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/15/2014I've always enjoyed Indian food, but rarely went beyond the typical lunch buffet. This restaurant takes it several levels higher in terms of the taste experience. The food is outstanding. Service is very attentive. The price (~$130 w/tip for two people to have a nice full dinner with a drink and dessert) satisfies my "memorable dining" value equation--which few restaurants in this price range do. My only issue is the noise level--it's very popular, always crowded when I'm there, and a bit loud to have an easy conversation with your dining companion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fire!NYFoodieDined on 11/12/2014As we all know reservations at Rasika after 6pm are hard to come by, but my husband insisted this is where he wanted to go for this birthday. I found the service a little rushed, and asked for it to slow down so we could enjoy our meal. The food charges quickly out of the kitchen. The scallop appetizer at first was gritty and lukewarm, and we sent it back and within a couple of minutes a new one was coming out (less gritty and warmer). The palak chaat was quite tasty. The lobster entrée in coconut curry did not pack the traditional punch I am used to, but the lobster was cooked well. The lamb shank with the gold leaf tasted off (maybe it was the rosewater) and heavy. Food leaned more toward an Indian fusion than traditional of what I am used to. This place is a factory and clearly enjoys their status that the critics have bestowed upon them, at the detriment of the diners. The fire alarm went off 15 minutes after being seated, and proceeded to go on for over an hour. The noise level was high before the alarm, and the constant sounding of the alarm took the noise level to heights of being unbearable, which I did let the server and manager know. The building was not evacuated and incoming diners were continued to be seated. How do we know there was not a fire in the building above us? Nothing was done to compensate for this noisy and loud inconvenience and on our first and celebratory visit. We won't go back due to their laisse faire attitude, and I am sure Rasika does not care.
- Great Food, Great Service, Great SettingAngelSDined on 11/11/2014I love reserving with Open Table because we are seated immediately. Our waiter knew the menu backward and forward and was able to make recommendations. He knew the drink list well also which was nice because we tried a drink we've never had before. There wasn't anything I would say they could have done to make the experience better. The restaurant is right off metro also so we didn't have to fuss with trying to park.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Always impeccable service with waiters who make great recommendations and try to meet every request with cheerful perfection. If I'm ever in Washington again, this restaurant would undoubtedly be the first reservation I'd make. Northwestfoodie2Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food and serviceFairfaxStation6VIPDined on 11/10/2014Rasika raises the level of Indian food up by several notches -- outstanding pairings of ingredients and dishes.

- Deserves its acclaimsDinerVIPDined on 11/8/2014Nothing more to say than hasn't already been said. Rasika (and West End) is at or near the top of lists and recipient of national acclaim for good reason. Go! (if you can get in!)I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good eatsSRajanDined on 11/8/2014As predicted the recommended food was great . Service was excellent . Paalak Chaat was awesome. Pepper crab could be a lot less salty and chicken makhani a little less buttery
- One of the best meals ever!WVRasikalvrDined on 11/7/2014Had the "Chef's course with wine", which was "Divine". Parvane was our server, and he made the experience even better.

- The absolute bestOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/3/2014We went for a weekday lunch, hoping to enjoy the area's best Indian food at a less rushed & quieter time than the bustling dinner hour. We weren't wrong. We shared four appetizers among the four of us & then we each had a main course. I wish we had room for more! The food was superb, the service prompt but unrushed & we left with enough leftovers for dinner that night.Special Features:
- Interesting Indian DiningPhoetoDined on 11/3/2014The palak chaat, mint parantha and elaichi tikka were delicious.Special Features:
- Wonderful experience!bw06Dined on 11/2/2014Great ambiance! Attentive yet unobtrusive service. Some of the best Indian food I've had in the US! Unique and inventive dishes with a truly authentic touch. We got the 4 course grand menu and it was a sublime experience! Highly recommend the spinach chaat, daal makhani (reminded me of home!) and of course, the apple jalebi! Absolutely delicious food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Indifferent management, poor food!WillNeverGoToRasikaAgainDined on 11/2/2014I wanted my wife to have an excellent dinner in a good restaurant for our anniversary. The restaurant had the ambience and excellent service. However, the food we ordered was in no way worth the long drive. The chilli paneer and shrimp balchao tasted the same and the sauce was the same. The description of the dish was in no way true of the taste. The shrimp was supposed to be spicy and was supposed to have peri-peri sauce. There was no peri-peri sauce and it was sweetish. The sauce tasted exactly like the sauce in the paneer dish. When we asked for some peri-peri sauce what we got was malt vinegar which is in every dish. The management did not bother to talk to us to address our disappointment in the dinner. The food description is false.Special Features:
- delicious, but ...ThatGuyDined on 11/2/2014While Rasika is delicious, I found the service ... odd. Not only were the staff dressed nicer than me -- making me feel underdressed -- but it took several minutes to get drinks. At the same time, they insisted on taking our coats and helping us put them back on. In no way was the service bad. It was quite good, just quite ... disjointed. Again, the food was fantastic.
- Best.Meal. Ever.pafballouVIPDined on 11/1/2014I have been going to Rasika and its West End sister for years. Hands down the best Indian in town. But this past Saturday, I think I had the best meal of my life. This place is off the chain. Insanely good. Pure magic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, odd servicehungryalwaysDined on 11/1/2014The food at Rasika is undeniably very good and is comparable to top-end Indian restaurants in London and India. The food was well spiced and flavours were layered. However, there were problems. Despite making a reservation, for which we arrived early, we waited twenty minutes until our table was ready. The bar and entrance area were busy and staff seemed visibly stressed. Our server ID-ed my friend and I which was fine. However, he refused my British ID despite it being accepted at the bar. As a longterm DC resident, I have never once had my ID rejected. Eventually, the manager agreed to make 'an exception'. Service was off but difficult to put my finger on exactly how. Polite but Passive aggressive might be a good description.Special Features:
- Believe the hype!DiningAroundDined on 11/1/2014My boyfriend and I made reservations a few months in advance in order to secure a 7:15 PM dinner reservation. We arrived at the restaurant ~15 minutes early and were kept waiting for ~15 minutes until our table was ready, which was fine. The restaurant is fairly small, though, and there wasn't really a convenient place to wait without getting in someone's way. The meal was as good as all the positive reviews we'd read had led us to believe. The palak chaat is very tasty, and it's large enough that we really could have split one order. The tandoori salmon and chicken makhani were both done well -- the sauces made all the difference, since they were light and flavorful. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- DianeDined on 11/1/2014We had heard so many good things about Raskia so when we were in DC for a conference we HAD to experience it for ourselves and were definitely impressed. The food is fabulous and the staff very friendly, etc. We will definitely come again when we find ourselves in DC next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Does not live up to its reputationGNOSVDined on 10/31/2014We were visiting DC and found this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. Our experience went down due to the service - an arrogant loud-mouthed waiter spoiled it for us. Their attitude was "you are lucky to have come to Rasika" as opposed to "welcome, we are here to make your dining experience memorable..." Food was ok; ambiance was low - we went for dinner; outside pole lights were not helping with the ambiance. Noise level was not high but adjacent table's conversations traveled. :( This restaurant was the lowest on the scale of service amongst all others that we visited in the DC area during our stay.Overall will not recommend it to anyone from San Francisco visiting DC and looking for a nice Indian place to eat.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 381 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by nevereveragain very disappointed The outward appearance is not only spectacular but deceiving. The lobby, sitting area and conference room are all beautiful. Once we stepped in our room it was great, until it was time to use the bathroom. The toilet was filled, and I literally mean filled to the top with feces, that seemingly had been fermenting for several days and carried a horrific stench of death and foul sewage. Management was called immediately. Zach did respond in a timely fashion The following morning, after a night of restful sleep, we were once again disappointed. Other patrons of the hotel stated that there was an emergency evacuation that only a few guests heard. AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION that only a FEW patrons heard. We were not only shocked but furious. We then asked the concierge what happened and that we, among other guests, did not hear anything. The response was, "Well, it was a false alarm anyway.".... Absolutely unacceptable and extremely dangerous! What if it wasn't? It is not ok for only a few fire alarms to function properly so that only a few people can evacuate safely! And the nonchalant response of your employee that "it was a false alarm anyway" is totally unacceptable. I would like to be notified if my life is in danger, falsely or not. Hopefully, management can reconcile these issues for future guests, as I will not be returning to this particular Starwood property. March 2, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nothankyou Awful experience all around This is a hotel for students or young people, not business travelers. The rug in my room was filthy. The ironing board and iron were "miniature" and my shirts fell on the gross carpet while trying to iron. The downstairs bar stopped serving food before 8pm even though I told the bartender 15 minutes earlier that I wanted to order food, he didn't think he should tell me it closing. Finally, I was told that my room was pre-paid upon check-in and check-out but 2 weeks later I was charged for it with no notification from the hotel . And I had to spend a long time on the phone with them to get this answer, very frustrating. I will never stay here again. October 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by FK2012 great hotel for a great price I was attending a convention at the neighboring hotel and was within walking distance of all the shops and entertainment. It was safe to walk alone even late at night. The neighboring restuarants were classy and neat but a little expensive. The fridge in the room helped me to save by holding on to the left overs and doing my own breakfast. The microwave in the lobby was great. Free coffee all the time and water bottles in the rooms were a life saver. Loved the HD TV and contemperory shower in the bathroom. The 70's decore of the lobby was very european and lobby was always bussling with people. I will come back anytime to this hotel!!! July 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Penny what's the new twist I was told to hang up and redial numerous times in order to use a travelzoo voucher to book my room. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was put on hold and never attended to again. I hung up after 31 minutes. Simply trying to book a room. Doors and walls had grease, scuffs, prints. There were no towels at the pool. Staff wasn't especially quick to help resolve the issue so we were late getting to our next event. This happened all 3 days that we used the pool. Incompetent staff? We had to request numerous times to get more towels for our room (we only had 3 for 4 people), and it took hours for them to arrive. Where are the staff? terrible service April 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jen23 I would not visit this hotel if I had the choice I had MANY problems with the method of payment I wanted to use and event afterwards. The rooms were very uncomfortable with the door that was too small for the doorway and a glass shower door, The shower had no place to hold my shampoo and such. The shampoo and bath soap dispensers were tacky. The overall room appeared cheep with no large closet space. The sink was very messy and akward. The breakfast area was too slow and we had cold food for a very high price tag. Music was very loud while we were eating. I was never aknowledged as a rewards member. May 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Businesstraveler Great hotel with some shortcomings Hotel has some great features and aspects: wonderful staff, the public areas, room internet. And the location in the heart of National Harbor was excellent; easy to walk to the conference center but didn't feel trapped in that bubble. Easy access to a variety of restaurants. Here's the downside: an uncomfortable bed and pillows which made for poor sleep. When traveling for work with the need to be "on" while at the conference, it is a must to have good sleep; I've not had this problem before when traveling. Also, difficult to hang dresses or long slacks in closet area. Room needed refurbishment as it was looking worn (runs in carpet, dings in wallpaper). April 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by VAbarb Modern & basic with matching price point Modern and basic with a matching price point for area Aloft has a very clean feel and minimal styling. This is not the hotel for you if you are looking for plush full service accommodations. Common areas border on stark and could use more warmth. Lobby is on second floor after going up a set of modern/open concrete stairs. Lobby has a very open - warehouse feel and is divided into several seating/lounge areas - one of which has a bar. There is a small circular front desk which can serve about 3 customers at a time. They have a breakfast/food area which I did not look to closely at. The rooms are small but feel larger due to the very efficient use of space. The rooms were clean and fully equipped (although the iron and ironing board were extremely well hidden in a cubby behind the far side of the headboard). Workout room was small but had very good equipment – TV in most equipment – water and free ear phones (new and individually wrapped) for listening to TV. Pool was small and anyone counting on doing laps would be frustrated at size. The National Harbor area has lots of restaurants and fun bars with in close walking distance. This area is very safe to walk around at night and feels like a 'convention island' with only the hotels/ shops/ restaurants. I would stay here again because you get this great area at a reasonable price. There were several things that were good ideas but poorly executed 1. The lobby area was interesting but with too much concrete for my taste - the floors looked like they could just hose them down to clean them. 2. Bar area did not attract folks as a gathering place, it felt cheaply done and was not inviting. 4. Four screen display wall looked like something you could do yourself and was not at the same design level as the nice modern furniture that was used in the seating areas. 5. Airplane flight display concept is good – but display used small fonts and was mounted too high on wall - - so you actually could not read it easily. 6. touch screen check-in – they used a diagram on screen that showed inserting your Credit card in bottom of monitor.. however actual hardware was mounted in a drawer face about a foot off the floor 7. Not enough lighting in room November 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by CemplyBeautiful Excellent Experience My stay started really rocky, but Roxy Ndebumadu and the General Manager, Mauricio Martin were more than accommodating. These people take great pride in their service and own up to their mistakes. Because of their accountability and strong desire to fix it, this is the only place that I will come when I am in the DC/MD area. After the problem was solved, they took great initiative in ensuring that my stay was the best. And it was. Thanks Aloft National Harbor. September 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TT2015 Great location, awful checkin While the rooms were satisfactory and the hotel itself is in a great location, it took 40 minutes to get us checked in. More communication on the state of our rooms would have been preferable as we arrived close to 10PM and were starving and tired. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DJMAC Helpfulness I was on my way to my room but my key wasn't working and Reggie called to the desk and checked my ID and lot me into my room. He also went down to the front desk and brought me a new set of room keys. September 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Plantman Comfortable Stay The hotel is located in the middle of everything and you can easily walk to lots of restaurants or the harbor and convention center at the Gaylord. Checkin is on the second floor which at first is a little confusing to get to, but opens up to a nice lounge area, bar, and food area. The staff is great, everything in the room is fresh and clean. Rooms have mini fridge, iron, hair dryer, and coffee center. Bottled water was also provided. The floor also had a washer and dryer available for client use or a cleaning service if needed. August 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JDPCDPLMP Nice hotel; good location; a little noisy Was able to clearly hear a conversation coming from the room next door. A lot of street noise but it did seem to quiet down by midnight. The staff was very friendly. Parking is very convenient and seemed safe. The location was great--a nice change from hotels closer to DC center. The courtesy shuttle to King Street Metro Station was perfect---on time and is a must if you choose to stay at this hotel instead of one closer to the center of DC. The bed was a little uncomfortable. The hotel room décor was upscale. Large room. We stayed 3 nights here and 3 nights at a hotel in town. This hotel offered a change of pace---more relaxing area than closer to the city. Again, the shuttle to the Metro station makes this hotel doable for visiting DC. The National Harbor marina is a very nice setting. August 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jackson82 Lack of Customer Service As a General Manager of one of your locations, I was expecting just a little empathy from the situation. What I received was just the opposite. He was short, rude and very unprofessional. He stated that it would be taken care of I would be emailed a folio. Once again days passed and NOTHING. If this is the leadership and example that is set by the general manager, your team is in trouble! I then called the billing department and finally received everything needed. This situation should not have been this challenging! A little follow-up and simple customer service on every level would have been great. December 19, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by AerospaceConvention2014 Vibrant simplicity (The conference center was nearby, not on-site.) Aloft definitely made an impression on me. Most hotels to me are just a bed, a closet, a desk and a chair. Aloft (National Harbor, DC/MD) has a theme of clean, colorful straight lines and simplicity. The 6th floor room I had looked out at the Wilson Bridge and into Alexandria. (A room on a lower floor or facing the opposite direction might not have been able to see the water.) The staff was very helpful with any concern that I had (e.g. a lamp was replaced the day it was reported, with an immediate offer of an alternative room). The off-season price was competitive. I will definitely take note on future trips to see whether an Aloft is in the area. January 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by TCLAY DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! VERY MISLEADING!! THIS IS NOT A FULL SERVICE HOTEL!! HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!! THIS IS NOT A FULL SERVICE HOTEL!!! There was NO ROOM SERVICE, not even a kitchen for the bar!! Just a backroom to heat up frozen-ready hot foods. The room decor is depressing!! Blue-grayish walls!! It has a jail feel to it! Not so much as a picture on the walls and we stayed in two separate rooms just to see if we would have a different experience on the last night - NOT! Was forced to go out and get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All the nearby restaurants close at 11pm, so a late weekend dinner is basically out of the question. We had to call a nearby carryout. Did I mention the dull and depressing decor!! It looks like cheap, Ikea knock-off furniture!! SO DISAPPOINTING!!! March 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KNAH Fun weekend. Very convenient location. Wonderful views of the area and seeing the Nation Wheel lit up by night. Plenty of things to do. We'll make this trip again. August 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Spence3307 good hotel, good location, noisy The hotel was clean and well maintained, the rooms were average and the staff was great, the only problem was other patrons out on the patio below room after midnight being very loud, Hotel needs to make an attempt to at least control hours to be considerate of others who needed sleep, everyone isn't their to party August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by S2588 Great Spontaneous Stay! My fiancé and I booked the hotel Sunday morning and stayed at the National Harbor that night. The staff was friendly and the reservationist was personable. We have stayed here before, but it was worth coming back to. We are racking up as many points as we can for our honeymoon. I can't wait to stay at another Starwood hotel. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elephantdung My Stay at ALOFT - National Harbor Our stay at the ALOFT National Harbor was EXCELLENT, and I have already recommended the hotel to two friends planning their trips to the DC area. The staff was great. Their attention to detail regarding our needs and specifics for first time visitors to DC was invaluable. We had limited time to see all that we wanted and the ALOFT staff was key in our accomplishing all we wished for. The room as great. It felt very much like a comfortable condominium. We felt at home. Great views, and very contemporary amenities. The gym was great, and the breakfast food was ideal. The staff recommendation for surrounding restaurants and bars were great. We truly enjoyed every facet of our stay, and we WILL return soon. March 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Karen927 Great location This was our second stay at the Aloft National Harbor for our bi-annual girls trip. We love staying at this hotel because of its location and staff. There are many great restaurants and shops and some great bars with good entertainment for the night life, all within walking distance. There is also a free shuttle that will take you to the closest Metro station where you can hop on the train with stops/transfers to many of the sites Washington DC is known for. As for the staff at the Aloft, they are amazing. They are always friendly and willing to assist with any questions you may have. Marvin, especially, is very personable and will give you great recommendations for restaurants based on what your taste is. March 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by KSUE Not again! It was not an experience. Underwhelming by just walking in the lobby. Given incorrect reservation. I had to return back to the front desk to get what I paid for. The lotion (tube) in the bath area was nearly empty meaning it was leftover from a previous guest. YUK! I felt unsafe in the lobby with persons loitering in the area. We had a drink in the bar but departed very soon due to others in the surrounding area (homeless as noted by clothing and smell and and obviously under the influence of some type of substance).Hotel needs a good "quality" manager and heightened security. February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 23Karen Top notch staff This property is wonderful and the staff puts it over the top. National Harbor is the place to stay when visiting the Nation's Capitol. It is a safe, relaxing area after the fast pace of the city. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. The front desk staff, Marvin is an outstanding young man and really helped our students enjoy their trip. We even made him an honorary member of our Kentucky delegation. He took extra measures helping the kids with their projects and greeted us personally each time we met. The hotel manager also greeted our students and gave them his card-it made them feel very important. Every request was filled immediately, anything from extra towels to suggestions for dinner. This will definitely be our family stop for any future visits to DC. July 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lass14 Elevator Problems Upon check-in one elevator one elevator was inoperable. The next day they were fixing the other. When we checked out not one was working. We had bags for 3 adults and a child. This made a very bad experience for trying to drag all of this out of the hotel. Though staff was helpful giving telling us of an another elevator we got off in a location around the corner. Needless to say this made our departure experience dissatisfactory. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Devy Location Wonderful, yet that NOISE Hello, I was at the National Harbor location and loved almost ever thing about the hotel EXCEPT for the noise from the street, the party people in the lobby and the slamming of the doors. I hope to return and reside on a different level in the back. August 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mar98 night front desk bad...Morning front desk nice We did our reservation by phone with spg, the lady who attend us was rude and ask me to spell names and address when I have a member number an all the information was there.When we arive to the hotel. ..they told us that they don't have a reservation and even when we have a printed confirmation thay told us that we have to wait at least for 10 minutes.We left for an hojr and when we came back we have to wait for half more hour until they gave us a room with bad attitude no apologies and It looked like it was our fault.After that we had more bad experiences...but is too lon June 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by VANative2011 Disappointed Stay So Left Early I liked the modern furniture and atmosphere of the hotel. The room itself was very comfy but once it was time for bed I could not fall asleep due to all of the LED lights (some blinking some not) from the phone, smoke detector, etc., the white light shining thru the sides of the pull-down curtains, and music playing outside my room/hotel at 3AM. Why was the bed pointed toward the 2 large windows anyway? And the fact that the price did not include overnight parking means the hotel stay was over priced and over rated! I will not stay at the Aloft at National Harbor again. December 14, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Markjay Always happy with Aloft Great value, great location and views August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bri2390 Girls getaway paradise I had an amazing stay at the aloft hotel. It has a very chic and retro feel. The bar had amazing drinks and they snack pantry was very convenient! I had a rude encounter with one of the staff members, this issue was taken care of in an AMAZING way. Ihab Kherati, Patrick, Keyri, and Katrina are absolutely FANTASTIC!!! My room was very clean & spacious the staff was very friendly and eager to help my & my best friends needs! This hotel added greatly to my weekend experience! I will definitely be back at the ALOFT for my future trips while enjoying National Harbor! March 17, 2014

I am not sure if this is the right forum if not then I am sorry.
I have a wall that has a small closet in it. I want to put a dresser on that wall and since its an extra closet I want to close it off. Is there anything i need to be worried and think about? Is it as simple as getting some 2x4's nailing in a top and bottom and supports up and down and then adding drywall. I know the wall will need to be finished as well but is there anything I am not thinking about?
Thanks in Advance,
Tom R

Actually the space is not to be wasted!!! The other side of the wall is another room that will be the office when it gets cleaned out. That room has a closet on the same wall on the other end, so i was going to break the wall up on the other side and remove the closet doors in that room and essentially make the office bigger by 3 feet deep by 15 feet wide ...or something close to that. There is electrical to worry about but it will only be an issue when i deal with the other side of that wall ...the office side.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks for your input!!!
Tom R
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks for your input!!!
Tom R
There isnt anything but electrical between the wall, all of th duct work is above in the attic and vents out from the ceiling. The pipes are all on the other side of the upstairs from where i am working, thats where the 2 bathroom are back to back. One side of the house is essentially bathrooms and the other side is the hallway with bedrooms. Now when i frame it in, i need to frame it back from the existing wall 1/4 of an inch or something correct? Is there a certain type of drywall i should get? Certanin size..1/4 do they make 1/2 I am new to this if that didnt tell ya!!!!
Tom R
Tom R
Thanks 1/2 it will be. I am wondering if I should take the rest of the drywall off that same wall too. The light switch goes to a wall outlet on that wall. I want that switch to turn a fan that I am going to install. This might be out of your area but I am wodering since i am doing that closet anyhow would it be just as easy to break down the rest of the drywall so i can easily make the electrical changes? What do you think? Thanks!!!!

Home » Brutus Magnus » WWE NXT
Brutus Magnus
Real Name
Nick Aldis
Date of Birth
November 6, 1986
Place of Birth
Those that watch WWE NXT saw a character named Finn Balor making his debut this week by being the mystery partner for Hideo Itami in his feud against the Ascension. That is pretty big news for fans of international wrestling. Balor was formerly known as Prince Devitt, a star in New Japan for a very long time. Itami is Kenta Kobayashi, one of the better performers in all of Asia.
November 7, 2014
WWE has been struggling to figure out what they want to do with Bray Wyatt lately, so the character has pretty much been forced into the background. Rumors have recently surfaced that management is going to bring up the Ascension, a tag team consisting of Conor OBrian and Rick Victor, from WWE NXT to form a new stable with Wyatt. The duo would replace Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
October 7, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi are going to be promoted to the main roster very soon. The two of them are established international stars, and management is not going to have them languishing in the developmental program. WWE knows that the promotion might upset some of the guys that have been in WWE NXT for a while, but it is a move that they want to do.
September 30, 2014
Not a lot of details were provided when Ric Flair was forced to miss a WWE NXT show to have surgery. Jim Ross has revealed some details on that procedure. The longtime commentator stated that Flair had an appendicitis attack, and when doctors went in there to repair the damage, they discovered a hernia, so they repaired that as well. No word yet on when Flair will be returning to WWE television.
September 18, 2014
Earlier this month, it was revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25,000 a year. It has now been discovered that the amount is only for the male performers. The divas in WWE NXT, such as Ashley Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are paid $50,000 a year, which is twice as much. The reasoning behind that is because management feels that the girls have more expenses in maintaining their looks.
September 18, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Ric Flair had to be pulled from the WWE NXT show. The exact reason has now been discovered. The former world heavyweight champion was in the hospital this week for some minor surgeries. No word yet on what those procedures were for, but none of it was life threatening. Flair is expected to be back with WWE after he recovers.
September 15, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that a couple of the WWE NXT performers have been booked for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some further details have now been reported. Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze are only booked for a couple of weeks, while Adrian Neville, who is currently the heavyweight champion in developmental, is scheduled until the end of October.
September 14, 2014
Last week, wrestling fans were dazzled by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd during a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. You can expect more of that in the near future, as the WWE NXT stars are being booked for more television appearances. Reports have surfaced that Triple H is the one pushing management to feature the developmental wrestlers more frequently.
September 13, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
Originally, Ric Flair was scheduled to make an appearance at WWE NXT tonight at the Takeover 2 event. The former world heavyweight champion was supposed to introduce Kenta Kobayashi to the fans as a way to accelerate the fan support for the Japanese star. However, it has now been revealed that Flair has canceled on the appearance due to some sort of personal issue.
September 11, 2014
During a recent interview, Sami Zayn revealed that Antonio Cesaro actually made the request to management to go down to WWE NXT and work there. Zayn explained that the motive behind the move was to let certain people backstage see what he was capable of since it is harder to get the spotlight on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. According to Zayn, Triple H was really impressed with what he saw in Cesaro.
September 11, 2014
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
Rumors have persisted over the last several months that Kevin Steen was set to sign a developmental contract with WWE. It looks to be official now, as the former ROH champion has posed for a picture with Triple H while wearing a WWE NXT shirt. The belief is that he will be focusing more on his weight and physique than actually training for the in ring stuff.
August 12, 2014
During a recent interview, Triple H revealed some interesting things about Bray Wyatt. He stated that WWE was on the verge of giving him a release a while back. HHH said he was able to convince management to let him work on a new character and test it out on WWE NXT. Things worked out rather well, and Wyatt was eventually promoted to the main roster.
August 7, 2014
In the previous generation, Sean Waltman was the benchmark when it comes to fans giving him heat because they legitimately resented the performer. It looks like Eva Marie is going to be taking that mantle now. During a recent appearance at a WWE NXT live event, the red haired diva was treated rather rudely by the audience. Things became even worse after she put on a very sub par performance as well.
July 19, 2014
Triple H might be downplaying his arrival to the developmental program, but Kenta Kobayashi is far from a regular new performer joining WWE. Internally, he is being viewed as a major marketing asset as the company is hoping to expand its reaches in Japan. A television network has already agreed to air WWE NXT since Kobayashi will be featured on those shows. The Japanese star is also set to help promote the WWE Network when it expands overseas.
July 17, 2014
Even though the mask has been designed and ordered, it looks like Tyson Kidd might not be doing that gimmick after all. Some were pushing for him to receive a new character and push on the main roster because of his long tenure with WWE. However, others are against the idea and want him to remain in WWE NXT to work with the developmental wrestlers.
June 12, 2014
Since 2011, Camacho has worked just one match on Smackdown. During that time, he was not utilized in a match on Monday Night Raw at all. He recently was sent down to WWE NXT to work as a veteran presence on those shows. Today, though, saw the end of his tenure with the company. WWE has given Camacho his release. His tag team partner Hunico still remains on the roster.
June 12, 2014
While his character quit WWE on Monday Night Raw this week, Batista is still very much working with the company. The former world heavyweight champion will still be making an appearance at a WWE NXT event later on this month. Afterwards, he is expected to take off for a couple of months to do promote Guardians of the Galaxy and film another movie.
June 4, 2014
During the latest WWE NXT show, an interesting injury was revealed. Adrian Neville had four teeth knocked out of his mouth during a backstage segment with Brodus Clay, who has been down in developmental for several months now. Neville had dental surgery to repair the teeth and now wears a mouth guard during matches to prevent further damage.
May 31, 2014
Congratulations to Mickie James and Brutus Magnus. They're now parents to a new baby boy named Donovan Patrick Aldis. Mickie has been on a hiatus since becoming pregnant, only making sporadic appearances during the beginning. Magnus is expected to still be on the road with TNA, but that schedule is a bit easier now that the company is taping Impact Wrestling in advance.
September 25, 2014
There's a pretty long list of wrestlers who have gotten into acting over the years. You can add Brutus Magnus to that group, as the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has been seeking out opportunities in Hollywood as of late. With his look and weekly exposure on Impact Wrestling, he has a bit of an edge over new actors in the industry.
June 12, 2014
"Why do internet fans and gossip writers always have to find an ulterior motive for decisions? It baffles and frankly irritates the hell out of me that these people always have to assume the worst, and report it as fact. More needs to be done in both companies to combat internal sources talking to these parasites. I was asked by a promoter recently if I lost the title because there was heat between me and John Gaburick, our Executive VP of Talent and Creative. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, 'Big' and I are able to freely express ourselves to one another, which means we get to speaks our minds properly, and we've had that relationship since he first arrived in TNA. "Furthermore, how ridiculous is that notion? Do you think if there was heat, that he would have put the title on me in the first place. On average, numbers went across the board while I had the strap. The job of the heel champion is to get the babyfaces over, and leave the place in a better state than he found it. Mission accomplished. "I can't wait to sink my teeth into my next chapter." - Brutus Magnus addressing rumors that he has backstage heat in TNA
May 28, 2014
It looks like TNA is investing heavily into Bram, a new character who recently made his debut as a childhood friend of former world heavyweight champion Brutus Magnus. Even though he has yet to make a name for himself in the industry, Bram has been given a multiple year contract by TNA. While it may not be for a large sum of money, the commitment is quite telling.
May 9, 2014
Rumors have been floating around for a couple of months now about Mickie James being pregnant, and the former TNA Knockout has now confirmed it during a recent interview with Totally Driven Radio. Mickie also revealed that she is due to give birth to her first baby some time in September. Former world champion Brutus Magnus is said to be the father.
May 9, 2014
A new Slammiversary 2014 poster has been released. This time, new TNA World Heavyweight CHampion Eric Young is featured instead of Brutus Magnus.
May 3, 2014
A video of Bram making his TNA debut by confronting old friend Brutus Magnus backstage on Impact Wrestling.
May 2, 2014
Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship. Young scored the pin fall victory after delivering two piledrivers and a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Magnus attempted to cheat by using a weapon to win the TNA title back, but the referee caught him.
April 27, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of Brutus Magnus going crazy and assaulting Abyss and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eric Young.
April 26, 2014
"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
A video of Eric Young winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Brutus Magnus on Impact Wrestling this week.
April 13, 2014
In an extremely shocking bit of news, Eric Young has defeated Brutus Magnus to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He had earned himself a title shot at the beginning of Impact Wrestling, where Young won a gauntlet match. Instead of waiting for the title shot, he demanded it on the same night. A piledriver sealed the pin fall victory for Young.
April 10, 2014
When Bobby Lashley made his return to TNA, some felt that it might have been a temporary appearance. However, that was squashed when it was revealed that was back for an extended period of time. There are rumors floating around right now that TNA could use his name value to give some credibility to Brutus Magnus in a title program.
March 27, 2014
A picture of the official Slammiversary 2014 poster, which features Brutus Magnus as the centerpiece attraction. Behind him are Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, MVP and Kurt Angle, which has led to speculations that TNA could be doing a big world heavyweight championship match featuring all five of the performers.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
During a recent interview, Mickie James revealed that she is back in a relationship with Brutus Magnus. The former WWE diva and the current TNA heavyweight champion went through a breakup last year, but it looks like they have reconciled their differences.
March 14, 2014
It is now being reported that Mickie James is pregnant. She has been telling independent wrestling promoters that she is willing to make appearances, but she can no longer take a bump in the ring. The former TNA star recently revealed that she is back with Brutus Magnus again. The two had split up for a period of time.
March 13, 2014
A video preview of the big world heavyweight championship match between Samoa Joe and Brutus Magnus that will be taking place at TNA Lockdown 2014 this weekend.

Amnesty: NKorea control expands beyond the gulag
When Amnesty International officials scrutinized new satellite imagery of a notorious North Korean prison camp, what caught their attention was not what was happening inside the fence but outside it.
Associated Press
When Amnesty International officials scrutinized new satellite imagery of a notorious North Korean prison camp, what caught their attention was not what was happening inside the fence but outside it.
A network of what appeared to be guard posts enclosing a valley and a small town indicated not an expansion of the sprawling Camp 14, as originally thought, but authorities' control of those living beyond the camp's perimeter.
The rights group isn't sure why that's happening but says it's another good reason to step up scrutiny of human rights conditions in the secretive nation, with its unparalleled restrictions on citizenry and its vast gulag.
Amnesty is pushing for member states next week at the U.N. Human Rights Council to support an independent commission of inquiry into systematic abuses and crimes against humanity in North Korea.
That would add international pressure on Pyongyang, which was hit Thursday with the toughest U.N. sanctions yet for its latest nuclear test. It has responded by unleashing a barrage of threats against the United States and South Korea, which undertake major military exercises in the region next week.
A U.N. special rapporteur on human rights is due to present a report on North Korea to the council in Geneva on Monday. Japan, Europe, the U.S. and South Korea have all indicated support for some kind of enhanced inquiry mechanism, and only half of the 47 member states on the council will need to vote in favor for it to be established.
While it is highly unlikely North Korea would allow investigators into the country, Amnesty says a commission of inquiry would lead a better resourced probe into conditions in the country and could provide a basis for some day bringing perpetrators before the International Court of Justice.
"The focus on North Korea right now is on its provocative statements and threats of nuclear strikes. As scary as that prospect is, it's an extraordinarily remote possibility," Frank Jannuzi , deputy executive director of Amnesty International USA, told reporters Friday in Washington.
"What is certain is the human tragedy faced by North Koreans every day," Jannuzi said.
A third of North Korean children are chronically malnourished, according to the U.N., and up to 200,000 people are held in political prison camps, many simply because they are related to those deemed unfriendly to the authoritarian regime.
The best-selling book "Escape from Camp 14" by author Blaine Harden has shed light onto one corner of the gulag. It tells of Shin Dong-hyuk, who was born in the camp, endured forced labor and torture, then at age 23 managed to escape through its electrified fence and eventually reached the West.
Amnesty said it commissioned the satellite images and analysis of the area, which lies 43 miles north of Pyongyang, from commercial provider Digital Globe. It found that North Korea has constructed a 12.5-mile perimeter, much of it on steep terrain, next to the camp to encircle a valley that contains mines, orchards and a small town. While the perimeter is marked by posts and not a fence, there is controlled access and some 20 guard towers that are more concentrated near the town than the camp.
"What's most worrisome is that it seems to expand the scope of control beyond the formal boundaries of the prison camp," said Jannuzi.
Still, Jannuzi, a former U.S. congressional staffer who has been to North Korea several times, said the country is not the "black box" it's often made out to be. Foreign charities and aid groups operate there, and there is some tourism.
Jannuzi predicted the mounting international pressure on North Korea over its rocket and nuclear tests, while justified, will lead to a "hardening of views and tightening of controls" there and will set back hopes of an incremental opening.
"Times of military tension and escalation are always bad for us trying to do work to promote human rights," he said.

Peng Sun Lens Blur
Claiming to add a higher quality of blur to photos, Peng Sun's Lens Blur looks like a pretty cool app. It's all based around the bokeh effect, which the developer defines as "the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph." Used right, blurry photos can be pretty cool, and this should be an easy way to achieve them.
Sun's app is based on effects from actual camera lenses, and the developer claims they're comparable to that of a Canon DSLR. It lets you simulate aperture and focal length. $20 seems rather steep for a one-trick pony like Lens Blur, but for its current discounted rate of $5, it may just be worth downloading.
