violence against women and my life
I was born in 27th January 1988 under the Muslim family parents. I was named Fatma Hassan Massanja, it was the family of four children and I was born third. But for the mercy of almighty god I got revelation to the word of god in Christ, and then converted in Christian religion through the valuable message preached by prophet William Marion Branham. I am a believer worshiping in the "end time message tabernacle" here in dare s salaam Tanzania.
In the married life of my parents my father had never include my mother in his activities, my mother was just a house wife knowing nothing about her husband's properties. The only thing she knew was to cook and take care of the family. And that is the ral life of many Africans.
In 1997 when I was in standard two my parents fell divorced, such thing lead us to rermain with single parent and that was mom. So we had to stay to grand fathers house, in 1999 February my father died with HIV/AIDS. Life become too hard to live. Because my mother depended only on selling cooked food (mama lishe) business. In 2001 mother passed away as well. There it cost us to go to our separate ways.
Somebody took me for the promise of paying my school expenses, but when I was in form two he stopped what he promised. Nobody was there to support me fro my school expenses. I cried for help buy there where no helping hand.
Because I love education I decided to have a boy friend who does help me to survive with my school. I thank when I nearly to complete my o'level education my school cometee's eyes were opened and see my suffering. I finished and got division iii point 25. I paid for computer course.
From there I used to work as a secretary in different places and also as a tuitor sometimes because I love children. In 2007 I met one of my fathers old friend he told me that my father had a large farms at Morogoro, had boat for fishing at kigoma and also had a large plot here in Dar es salaam. So how could I get them back while I had no any document for proof? In 2008 I met my husband whom we have two daughters till now. Nancy (7years) and Faith (1year).
My vision
It is time for change now. Men should not neglect their wives in the daily life planning, look for the suffering I went through all this is because my mom had never had a chance to know how wealth her husband is. If she could know my I could tell a different story about my life now.
If African will help children without thinking of gender issues I could do well in my education, because the wife of the one who was paid for my education earlier always told me and even her husband that "girls are for marriage and not education"
Poor understanding capacity results to low reasoning power, poor parents sometimes used to it easy when facing some obstacles in developing their children in education, thinking that even if a child lack education thing will settle it self on the future. This is so wrong
Due to what I went through my advice is to provide more education about gender equality in Africa so that we may reduce the number of street children and prostitute.
My vision too is to have a school where women will be employed especially widow and single parents so that their children won't suffer as much as I did.

You are very courageous to continue your education despite losing both your parents and going through many adversities to pay your school expenses.

Is life meaningless.
Is life meaningless.
Bird is the word.
Paul Pierce played 15 seasons for the Boston Celtics before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
The Boston Celtics are exceeding expectations this year under the guidance of Brad Stevens.
Well, don't play Avery Bradley in H-O-R-S-E.
With the recent departures of Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett, the new golden era of Celtics Basketball is officially over.
The Boston Celtics selected Lucas Nogueira of Brazil with the 16th pick.
On Friday, Doc Rivers told the Los Angeles Clippers that he wasn't interested in leaving Boston.
LeBron James continued his campaign to win friends and influence people today when he said he was happy it was Jason Terry on the receiving end of his sick dunk Monday night.
The following is a tale of two fans, one of whom clearly sucks at life.

The gathering starts at 6 p.m. June 6 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center, 1101 Lincoln St.

Besides my interview with Spitzer, a couple of other interesting tidbits came out of my attendance at a Republican lawyers meeting at Chapman Law School last week. Assemblyman Chuck DeVore told the group how even as a member of the minority party in the Legislature, he's trying to be relevant. He's working a bill that would suspend the California Environmental Quality Act for five years for low-income housing, farm-worker housing and urban infill projects. The strategy, he said, is to split the Democrats in the Legislature into two factions: the black and Latino caucuses, which favor the bill because it would reduce housing costs 10-20 percent for constituents, and what he called "the white, urban limousine liberals," who oppose lowering environmental standards. "I'm purposefully eff-ing with them," DeVore said.
Wow, I thought, it is so refreshing to hear a politician be so candid in front of a journalist. Then I went up to him and asked whether his ploy wasn't "just a little cynical" - and he turned even whiter than a limousine liberal. He hadn't realized I was in attendance, even though I had stood right in front of him talking to Spitzer before the meeting started and I swear we made eye contact. Maybe it's because I shaved my beard since he last saw me. In any case, give him credit for answering my question. It's not cynical, he said, because he really believes the CEQA standards should be dropped. Nope, there's no doubt about that.
Then Shawn Steel, the immediate past president of the California Republican Party, told these young, impressionable Chapman law students that when you consider how the American media is covering the Iraq war now, we should thank God there hadn't been an omnipresent press in the colonies in 1776. The revolution was going so poorly for us at that point, he said, media pressure would have forced the Continental Army to give up and "we'd all be speaking some other form of English." He drew his information from the well-regarded 2005 book, "1776," by David McCullough. The next day, I went to Barnes & Noble in Fashion Island and bought it.
I got no farther than Page 9, when I came upon this analysis of the British press at the time - a press that was omnipresent in London. "To much of the press and the opposition in Parliament, the American war and its handling could not have been more misguided." Then McCullough quotes directly from no fewer than four British papers, including the Evening Post, which called King George's overseas escapade "unnatural, unconstitutional, unnecessary, unjust, dangerous, hazardous and unprofitable." So, had a certain George listened to hiscackling, omnipresent press in 1776, America would have been free about five years earlier and thousands of lives would have been spared. Just so the Chapman students get a fuller appreciation of the First Amendment.
I give pollster Adam Probolsky grief from time to time, as I did Monday, but I also need to credit his prognostication skill. The latest was the supervisorial race. About four days before the election, I asked him to predict the outcome. " Janet (Nguyen) by fewer than 150 votes," he said. As the case heads to appellate court, she has a three-vote lead. Yeah, he was working for her, but I wasn't going to print it until after the election, so you can't write it off as some lucky spin - this is what his numbers were showing. And, remember, conventional wisdom had Janet third, at best. I think I wrote earlier that about a week before last year's sheriff's election, Probolsky had Carona getting 51 percent of the vote. He wrote it on a slip of paper I still have somewhere. Carona got 50.9 percent. Even for a pro, hitting these margins is uncanny.

The band's name is crass, and song titles like "Myke Ptyson" and "Iaadeedaa" hardly help bolster any early confidence in liking them. But Starfucker's self-titled debut is, indeed, a smart, multi-layered gem of indie-pop splendor.
The album's opener, "Florida," establishes the band's simple yet delightfully complex sound with its dreamy guitar riffs and soothing, oft-falsetto vocals. Starfucker lays out the band's unique brand of widely eclectic pop music by giving listeners rad 8-bit synths laced with jangly guitars. The trio, from Portland, Oregon, is able to brilliantly mesh handclaps (too often overlooked in today's music), acoustic guitar, pre-recorded speeches and the sound of children playing—however ill-fitting those components should be—with drumbeats that sound like invitations to the dance floor.
However, it is the album's charm and the band's lack of fear that allows this madcap concoction to work, and work quite well. Starfucker's status is solidified the moment when "Hard Smart Beta" segues, perhaps melts, into the appropriately named "Pop Song." That moment, those 10 seconds of crunchy synth-static, are finally greeted with luscious vocals, and for the remainder of the track, all seems right with the cosmos.

Can someone recommend a tube amp for these? Basically I want to get into tube amp sound and would like a unit that is built well and will last. I don't want to get into a cheaper tube amp and then have to upgrade down the road. I guess my price range is $300-$600. Obviously would like to spend the least amount possible while getting a nice piece of gear.
Hello. If it's not too late for recommendation I'm using my K702 with an ALO PanAm tube/hybrid amplifier and it sound really good. Got good synergy and the built in DAC is pretty decent too. The tubes option are cheap too. Bonus!

I'm only really looking for friends. I'm not what you would call boyfriend material and it would take an extraordinary woman to make me otherwise. Dating is so pointless, and there is way too much expectation. I don't want to date, I want to meet new people,and try new things. I'm really open to try just about anything once. Plus dating is more or less hanging out anyway. I'd rather just hangout without all the drama. If your interested and something develops then great.

Is evangelical Christian morality still viable in American public life? This is the question lurking in recent debates over religious-liberty issues, from the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision to the Christian bakers who object to baking cakes for gay weddings. In discussions of these cases, objections to same-sex marriage and contraception are described as a retreat from "secular society." And in some cases, evangelicals actually have retreated: Since the Boy Scouts of America decided to allow openly gay Scouts to participate, a "Christian" alternative has been created, giving Christian parents a "safe" space where they can send their kids. But these incidences of retreat have actually been rare. Ultimately, the idea that evangelical Christian morality is incompatible with modern life isn't sustainable.
In The Atlantic, Jonathan Rauch argued that if the evangelical church is to last long into the twenty-first century, certain parts of its moral codes have to change—American society is progressing, and if the church won't progress with her, then it will be abandoned.
This is based on a popular conception about evangelicals: that they're toxic. The refusal to serve gay weddings is called bigotry. Laws written to protect businesses that refuse to provide such services are compared to Jim Crow laws. Hobby Lobby's unwillingness to pay for certain contraceptives is derided as misogynistic.
Behind all of these charges is the suspicion that evangelicals are simply refusing to accept contemporary American mores; they are privileging their faith over the moral spirit of the age. But for many evangelicals, these beliefs are not actually a sign of retreat from public life. Instead, there is a fear that in an increasingly secularized society, there will be less tolerance for people who wish to act upon their deeply held religious beliefs, except in narrowly defined, privatized spaces. This is a fundamentally American concern: Will I have the right to serve God as I believe I am obligated to?
This fear isn't just personal. As laws on issues like same-sex marriage and contraception have changed, there's a growing fear that public policy will become more and more in conflict with evangelical morality. This, according to many conservative Christians, is what these tensions are about: being legally required to perform acts that you sincerely and deeply believe are immoral. Although in the past the religious right has openly advocated legislating morality in the public sphere, for most evangelicals, the recent cases do not seem to be about policing other people's morality—the concern is about preserving the ability to be faithful to one's own morality. By paying to cover contraceptives that interfere with "conception," as evangelicals define it, by baking a cake or taking photographs to celebrate a same-sex wedding, some Christians believe they are facilitating a profoundly immoral act—which makes them morally culpable, as well.
To a large extent, this tension has been caused by a shift in what we think of as the domain of morality. The vocabulary we use to describe same-sex marriage and contraceptives has changed from the language of morality to the language of rights. In many spheres, including some parts of the media, people no longer conceive of same-sex marriage or contraceptives as things which can be immoral. They may not be right or good for some people, but they can't be immoral, let alone sinful. And it's hard to extend freedom to a morality that is incomprehensible.
This also represents a shift in the dominant moral vocabulary of the United States toward the autonomous individual. Often, ethical choices are framed as purely personal, insulated from external judgment. This is particularly true when it comes to sexuality: According to this way of thinking, the choices people make about their bodies are always personal.
Faith must be lived out in the public square; a privatized faith is no faith worth the name.
But if the moral issues in question were entirely personal, they wouldn't be so controversial. On the margins, certain Christian responses to these issues are relatively uncontested: Even if non-evangelicals can't understand why gay marriage could be immoral, they can accept that some Christians who identify as gay chose to live celibately. And if Christian women don't want to use certain birth control, the rest of the country probably couldn't care less. But as Hobby Lobby, the Christian bakers, and many other cases have shown, these are the exceptions, not the rule—personal morality inevitably becomes part of public life. This is what inspires outrage: Worship your God and follow His archaic commands all you want, they say; just don't impose your religion on me.

Data is the new currency of business, the most critical asset of the modern organisation. In fact, enterprises that can gain business insights from their data are twice as likely to outperform their competitors; yet, 72 percent of them have not started or are only planning big-data activities.2 In addition, organisations often spend too much money and time managing where their data is stored. The average firm purchases 24 percent more storage every year,3 but uses less than half of the capacity it already has.4
A member of the IBM Storwize family, IBM SAN Volume Controller is a storage virtualisation system that enables a single point of control for storage resources to help support improved business application availability and greater resource utilisation. The objective is to manage storage resources in your IT infrastructure and to make sure they're used to the advantage of your business – and do it quickly, efficiently and in real time, while avoiding increases in administrative costs.
Virtualising storage with SVC helps make new and existing storage more effective. SVC includes many functions traditionally deployed separately in disk systems. By including these in a virtualisation system, SVC standardises functions across virtualised storage for greater flexibility and potentially lower costs.
SVC functions benefit all virtualised storage. For example, Easy Tier optimises use of flash storage. And Real-time Compression enhances efficiency even further by enabling the storage of up to five times as much active primary data in the same physical disk space.1 Finally, high performance thin provisioning helps automate provisioning. These benefits can help extend the useful life of existing storage assets, reducing costs.
Integrating these functions into SVC also means that they are designed to operate smoothly together, reducing management effort.
Common features
- Combine storage capacity from multiple vendors for centralised management
- Increase storage utilisation by providing more flexible access to storage assets
- Increase effective storage capacity up to five times with hardware-accelerated Real-time Compression
- Improve administrator productivity by enabling management of pooled storage from a single interface
- Insulate host applications from changes to the physical storage infrastructure
- Deploy stretched configurations to provide high availability and data mobility between data centres up to 300 km apart
- Enable a tiered storage environment to match the cost of storage to the value of data
- Apply common network-based copy services across storage systems from multiple vendors with innovative network bandwidth optimisation

Hartlepool 2-1 Morecambe: Match Report
Hartlepool 2-1 Morecambe: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Pools sink Shrimps
Hartlepool halted a six-game losing run and took a giant step towards securing their Football League status with a 2-1 home victory over fellow strugglers Morecambe.
The 10 men needed goals from substitutes Jack Compton and Jack Barmby to win it after falling behind to Kevin Ellison's first-half strike.
Morecambe, themselves just three points above the relegation zone, took the lead after 25 minutes. A deep, floated cross from Andy Parrish was met by Ellison whose angled header beat goalkeeper Scott Flinders.
Only a vital saving block from Darren Holden halted Jack Sampson from extending the lead.
Hartlepool's task was made harder after 58 minutes when midfielder Simon Walton was sent off for a foul on Jordan Mustoe.
Pools boss Colin Cooper introduced Compton from the bench and he sent a low, dipping drive into the bottom corner of the net from 25 yards out to level things up after 67 minutes.
The ten men took the game to the visitors, keeping up incessant pressure, and they were rewarded with nine minutes remaining.
Barmby coolly finished from close range after skirting around Barry Roche after the goalkeeper kept out a Jonathan Franks shot with his legs.

Will Vick Take Michael Irvin's Advice?
A couple of weeks ago, Michael Irvin appeared on the 2 Live Stews radio show and said, among other things, said that Michael Vick should take a plea deal.
Now, if anyone knows about the trials and tribulations of the legal system, it's Michael Irvin. Is Irvin the legal analyst we should have been hearing from all along?
Today brings the news that Michael Vick's co-defendants have decided to enter plea deals later this week. Vick's spokesperson, Collins Spencer (who was "let go" from reading the news on a local tv station earlier this year), said the defense team didn't see it coming.
That's a joke, right?
At the arraignment, it appeared the co-defendants, except Tony Taylor, might have been cooperating with one another. If Vick's professional team was actually surprised about this latest development in the case, it would just be the latest in the comedy of errors in his handling of this matter.
Just another strange, if not negative, turn in the Vick case... Michael's lawyers have reportedly met with the federal prosecutors regarding a plea deal for Vick that must be accepted by Friday.
I certainly would not call this good news, but it's still definitively predict what this means. There is still no information about the specific nature of the pleas. Tony Taylor plead with no assurances about his sentence. The other co-defendants mostly have nothing to lose if "nothing to lose" means millions of dollars in NFL salary and endorsements. Are they pleading for the sake of any reduction in their sentences or for a significant reward from the prosecutors? The prosecutors can't force a certain version of testimony. A witness in court can only be forced to tell the truth. Who knows which way the co-defendants roll? Tony Taylor had a personal falling out with the co-defendants. It's not clear if the other defendants have any special motivation to turn on Michael Vick.
It should be noted that, if Vick goes to trial alone, it will likely change the nature of the testimony at the trial. The other co-defendants were alleged to be involved in the day to day activities of the dog fighting operation. Generally, Michael Vick was alleged to be a financial sponsor and present at certain fights. If the prosecutors were hoping to present gut wrenching testimony of animal cruelty in order to sway the jury, it will be more difficult to accomplish that task with only Vick as a co-defendant. The nature of the trial could become far less sensationalistic.
Michael Irvin's advice aside, I'm not sure why Michael Vick would have hired all those high profile lawyers just to plea. High profile lawyers do not like to lose. Billy Martin, et. al wouldn't have signed up if they didn't think they had a reasonable chance of accomplishing something positive. Maybe Vick will go for it. We know he likes to gamble. A lot of people have turned their backs on him. Perhaps he's at the point where he has nothing to lose too.

Bless her heart. June Atkinson was well intentioned with her idea this week of exempting teachers from personal income taxes. But the idea is problematic. A reasonable case can be made for exempting from such taxes a number of others in worthy professions firefighters, police officers, nurses to name a few.
Yet Atkinsons suggestion at least makes more sense than Gov. Pat McCrorys urging this week that state education leaders devise ways to boost teacher pay. Ahem, Governor Pat. Thats the job weve given you and N.C. legislators.
To his credit, McCrory did include in his budget a pay raise for teachers. Though at 1 percent, its too little. N.C. legislators included no pay increase for educators in their budget plans. N.C. teachers have seen only one 1.2 percent pay hike since 2008. The state is now shamefully scraping the bottom of national rankings in teacher compensation. Only four states do worse than us in paying teachers.
So, Atkinsons recommendation was a way to at least give teachers some boost in income this year.
And lawmakers arent just shafting teachers on pay. Theyve proposed a number of other initiatives that would make being an N.C. educator less attractive. Among other things, theyve cut the number of teaching assistants, slashed money for teacher development, increased class sizes by 25 percent and jettisoned bonuses for advanced degrees.
Teachers last week confronted one lawmaker at a forum. Many called the plans demoralizing. One high school teacher who makes $34,000 said her salary isnt enough to enable her and her husband to afford health insurance for their three children.
Some Republican lawmakers have already panned Atkinsons proposal. Republican Rep. David Lewis of Harnett County, who helped craft the House tax plans, called Atkinsons suggestion an idea that was not as well thought out as it should have been.
But exempting teachers from income taxes isnt new or wacky.
Other countries already exempt teachers from paying income taxes. Pakistanis are involved in a heated discussion right now about whether to retain its 75 percent tax exemption on salaries of teachers. The government recently decided to withdraw the exemption.
The idea has also been considered in other U.S. states. It was proposed in California in 2000 but wasnt enacted.
In 2011, former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska and Leo Hindery, chairman of the Smart Globalization Initiative at the New America Foundation and former chair of Teach for America suggested a national initiative. In an opinion piece, they wrote that teachers are far and away the most difficult public servants to recruit and retain and that providing federal income tax relief to teachers would be a powerful response to the demand for them and an important step toward restoring the health of our national economy and our global competitiveness.
Atkinson estimated the cost to give teachers this tax break would be about $300 million. The state Department of Public Instruction tagged it at $250 million. And though she offered no place to find the money, she did note this apt analogy: Much has been said about the need for North Carolina to become more competitive with our surrounding states when it comes to corporate income taxes. Those supporting a cut in corporate income taxes say that the reduction will attract more corporations and then we will have more jobs for North Carolinians.
She added: The General Assembly proposed budgets do not include salary increases for teachers, but corporations expanding or locating in North Carolina certainly need workers who are educated the work of teachers.
Atkinsons plan isnt going anywhere in this legislature, and shouldnt. Its too problematic. But lawmakers proposals to slash education funding K-12 funding has fallen by $170 million in the past five years, notes the Department of Public Instruction and freeze teacher pay again is even more problematic. They should change course.
Good teachers are already fleeing the state. These moves could likely hasten the exodus and North Carolinas free fall to the education bottom.

MSD: Some sewer lines more than 100 years old
CORRYVILLE, Ohio (Angenette Levy) -- Cincinnati has 3,000 miles of sewer line below its streets and some of those lines are more than 100 years old, the Metropolitan Sewer District said Friday.
"It is common throughout the city and throughout the country. A lot of cities like Cincinnati have aging infrastructure," said MaryLynn Lodor, deputy director of MSD.
Thursday evening, a problem was discovered when the ground on Shields Street gave way and the back-end of a Metro Bus fell into a hole. A 101-year-old, 21-inch clay sewer line collapsed but MSD officials said they were still investigating what caused the ground to cave in.
"We have to find out what part of the pipe is bad, we take it out and insert a new piece," said Dave Rieman, a sewer construction inspector with MSD.
Lodor said MSD inspects sewer lines daily while responding to customer complaints or as part of the agency's preventative maintenance initiatives. MSD workers drop robotic cameras into the lines. The cameras transmit crystal-clear images to a television monitor which will show any problems. MSD also has a trenchless system to maintain the lines. Fiberglass sleeves can be placed in a line to extend the life by 50 years. Lodor said Thursday night's collapse was unusual.
"It's definitely an unusual situation. It's an anomaly. And we work very hard to not make these kinds of things happen," Lodor said.
MSD has plans to rehabilitate some lines. The agency maintains 3,000 miles of sewer lines. Rieman said he can't rule out another collapse.
"Ground is moving all the time. So being a hundred years old it's clay tile pipe. Will it happen again? I'm sure it will. To this extreme? Hopefully not," Rieman said.
MSD says it could take a month to repair the damage.

From: "Fay, Chuck" <email@example.com> ... CHECKIN /foo.html (with new content in the request body) I don't see why there should any big objection to this proposal, except on religious grounds that any real versioning server *must* provide intermediate storage of working versions. I raised the (non-religious :-) objection in my previous response that this requires that every argument for the CHECKIN request be a new header. I consider this completely unacceptable, since unlike XML elements, headers are in a single global namespace so it would be infeasible for a server to safely extend the CHECKIN request.

Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Receives 2013 Rising Star Award
GATLINBURG, Tenn., March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine has been awarded the title of Rising Star, based on the latest sales results published by the Beverage Information Group. Ole Smoky is the sole moonshine brand among the list of the 2013 Rising Star honorees. Fueled by consumer demand and a growing national distribution footprint, the brand sold close to 100,000 cases (9-L bottles) of its six moonshine flavors in 2012, an increase of over 200 percent from 2011. The winning announcement will be published in the April online and print editions of Cheers, Beverage Dynamics and StateWays magazines.
An authentic American brand located in the heart of Appalachia, Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine attributes its remarkable growth to strong community ties and a tradition rooted deeply in the 200-year-old art of distilling quality moonshine. Founded in 2010, when the state of Tennessee first legalized the commercial distillation of moonshine, the company has since grown to become the proud creator of more than 100 local jobs and a major tourist attraction in the Great Smoky Mountains.
"Connecting with our heritage and offering a quality product that is different from anything people have tried before is what Ole Smoky Moonshine stands for," said company co-founder Joe Baker. "We like to see people come together to support our brand, and we're thrilled to be named one of the industry's 2013 Rising Stars. We're eager to build on this momentum and continue moving forward in 2014 and beyond."
About the Beverage Information GroupThe Beverage Information Group has been reporting on the alcohol industry for nearly eight years and has acknowledged and awarded Growth Brands within the industry for roughly 12 years. The group's Rising Stars award recognizes promising products that are relatively new to the market and have proven themselves worthy through notable growth and have limitless potential for continued success.About Ole Smoky Tennessee MoonshineCurrently, Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine retails six flavors of moonshine made from local East Tennessee corn, then manufactured, bottled and shipped directly from the company's famed Gatlinburg distillery. The Ole Smoky Moonshine distillery, known as The Holler, is America's most visited distillery and produces the brand's signature 100 proof Original Moonshine, White Lightnin'™, Moonshine Cherries™, Peach Moonshine™, Apple Pie Moonshine™ and Blackberry Moonshine™. In true southern style, each Ole Smoky Moonshine flavor is inspired by the hand-crafted recipes of the Tennessee families who have been bottling moonshine in the smoky mountains for more than a century. Available in 48 states, Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine can be found at local retailers and is sampled and sold at some of the biggest music and sporting events in the country.

In general the hotel was attractive in a modern style appropriate for downtown Atlanta. However, after just returning from several days at the Battle House (another Renaissance Hotel) I was disappointed with this one in comparrison.
I made our reservations online and then called to confirm the type of room we would have. The website had said it could not quarantee a king size bed so I wanted to make that request in person and make sure they knew I have Elite Status with the rewards program. They assured me I would have a king bed and one of the better rooms at the price I was quoted online.
My husband checked us into the hotel and had been talked into upgrading the room to a "city view" for an additional fee. I felt the upsale was completely unwaranted because I knew we had a high floor and all of the views are good from there....the hotel in in midtown afterall. Most disappointing about that upgrade is that we ended up with a smaller room with two double beds.
The king size bed was really important to me because I know that my husband, my young son, and I can all sleep in one quite comfortably. With the two doubles my son and I had to share one bed and my husband took up the other.
That evening we were catching a performance at the Fox theater. I was planning to just walk but the concierge insisted we should just call for the courtesy car. We did and 15 minutes after the car was supposed to be there for us it still wasn't. Evidently there was traffic in another part of town and the driver was having trouble getting back. The concierge kept encouraging us to just wait...it would just be another 5 minutes. Running out of 5 minutes to wait, as it was getting very close to time for the show, we requested a cab. A car trip of less than 3/4 of a mile cost us $14 and a tip. Assuming we would never get the courtesy car to pick us up to take us back to the hotel, we walked. Luckily it was a pleasant night.
At other hotels I have stayed, the flat rate fee for the cab would have been reimbursed. No one made any attempt to compensate us in any way.
When we returned to our room for the evening I called to have some extra pillows delivered. I was told they would be brought up right away. I waited...and waited...and waited some more. The pillows never came. I called again and got the usual apologies and again an assurance that the pillows would be right there. I never received my pillows and did not sleep well because of it.
We stay in Atlanta several times every year. This was the first tiime I stayed at this particular hotel. My last stay was at the Courtyard downtown and I must say I had a far better experience.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

The 19th century Ireland of director Rodrigo García's "Albert Nobbs" is rigid with insurmountable societal distinctions: every soul has his or her station firmly proscribed at birth, and escape is virtually unheard of. Against this stifling backdrop, García crafts an engaging, entertaining and enlightening piece of work that is richly dramatic and underscored by moments of wry, quiet humor. It doesn't hurt that, making good on all the pre-festival buzz, the film features Glenn Close in a performance that seems destined to earn her a sixth Oscar nomination and perhaps her first win (it would be well deserved).

SYDNEY (AFP) - Amnesty International on Thursday hit out at Papua New Guinea for failing to bring to justice the killers of a woman who was burnt to death a year ago for sorcery.
Ms Kepari Leniata, 20, was stripped naked, tied up, doused in petrol and burned alive in front of a crowd by relatives of a boy who died following an illness in the city of Mount Hagen in February last year.
The attackers claimed Ms Leniata caused his death through sorcery in a case that sparked global outrage, with the United Nations slamming "the growing pattern of vigilante attacks and killings of persons accused of sorcery in Papua New Guinea".
"One year since Kepari's murder made international headlines, it is shocking that those responsible for her torture and killing have yet to be brought to justice," said Ms Kate Schuetze, Amnesty's Pacific researcher.

So I've been reading blue posts and posts from others in the ROS Beta forums and I see a lot of people saying that there's no noticeable increase in legendary drop rate for playing T6 vs T1. There's also no % legendary drop rate increase listed on any of the torment sliders. Was this removed? It seems like increasing the difficulty will be pointless if there's not a decent increase in drops to go along with it.

No, it was not removed, because it was never there to begin with. It is true that you do have an increased chance at legendary items in Torment difficulty, but the specific extra chance isn't something that is shown on the UI. For now, this is intended.

I do stand corrected, it was there in an earlier build. This does not change the fact that currently, it is intended that this information is not shown.
While I appreciate the feedback that we've gotten in this thread, I am going to go ahead and lock this. If you have feedback about the UI or any other features, I'd encourage you to check out the Patch 2.0.1 Feedback forums and leave whatever thoughts you have there.
Thanks everyone!
