Radisson review.Posted Mar 17, 2015
I would recommend paying a little extra to stay in a more modern hotel like hampton inn or holiday Inn express. It's definitely worth it No amenities except for free wi fi. Not enough parking, and not close to restaurants or shopping locations. Rooms definitely need to be updated with standard amenities. Staff was very polite and helpful. I won't be staying at Radisson Hotel Atlanta NW again.

A decent place to sleepPosted Mar 12, 2015
If all you need is a place to crash out that's not too noisy, and reasonably comfy; this is fine hotel. They seem to run a little sparse on staff (like the bartender being used to deliver room service food and gone for long stretches at time? Probably could be done better). But, otherwise, perfectly serviceable.

DisappointedPosted Mar 1, 2015
Pros: comfortable beds
Cons: The counter staff just didn't seem to care.
Location: the location was fine
On line, the Radisson seemed like a very nice place to stay, however, the phone in our room did not work, the coffee machine was missing partsso I went downstairs to get coffee but the coffee machines were empty. I told the lady at the counter and she said she would refill them. When I came back down, the coffee was gone and lemon water was in it's place. The ice machine on our floor did not work and there was no vending machine even though there was a sign stating that there was one. The hotel advertised a bar and restaurant but when I inquired about it, I was told they were undergoing renovations. The staff was not very helpful at all and I was very disappointed.

Nice staff, paper thin walls (Noisy).Posted Feb 28, 2015
They didn't clean the room for two days. Especially frustrating after requested that basic service three times. This occurred for my room as well as my business partner's room. I'm not sure what we were paying for.

Life is too short to be anything but happy!
It's hard to meet quality men out there and the bar scene is getting old! I have to admit that I wasn't crazy about the idea of meeting someone through an online dating service. I guess it doesn't hurt to try so I'm giving this a shot. Life is way too short to waste time stressing about the small stuff. I have so many good things going in my life and I appreciate all that I have. I am very passionate about my career and I look for that drive and ambition in my partner. I am a special education teacher and I teach preschool disabled children. Those little munchkins wear me out during the week so I look forward to my weekends! I am a very easy person to get along with. I love to laugh and have fun so I am looking for someone with a good sense of humor who doesn't take life too seriously! Someone who is open and willing to experience new things and can make the best of any situation. I enjoy going out for a nice dinner and drinks but also enjoy relaxing at home watching a movie. I enjoy live music and love going to concerts. Road trips are lots of fun! I'm an Indianapolis Colts fan and take a trip to Indy every year for a game. I am a go with the flow type of girl and like to experience new things. You only live once! Better make it count! I have a great group of close friends and I'm close with my family. I surround myself with good people, good values and good wine! I am old fashioned when it comes to relationships. It's nice to receive a phone call over a text. I appreciate the little things...It's the little things that leave a lasting impression! I am not into games... I don't have the time or the energy for them and I'm not a fan of negativity..it wears you down. I am very optimistic, I have a positive outlook on life and I find confidence to be a very attractive quality in a man.

I was playing around with a sunset photo I had taken, when I got the idea for a planet similar to Earth, populated with humanoid type creatures who find something to grumble about regardless of the situation. Their conversation might go something like:
I can't believe it Zhrikplatth, that's the third time this Dasnuba that the skyhop has been late.
Keep your veins in, Krryp, at least we can enjoy another methane sunset while we wait.
Love the mythologies your creating..!.
Wonderful colour and depth, seemless incorporation of photo BG too…
Thanks Resisto. I spend so long drawing and changing the characters, that I have lots of time to explore their world in my head :)
Brilliant!! – "Dang that forgetful Skyhop!!!" Love the worlds you create… they oooze with creativity and talent… Are these built in photoshop?
thanks again Lyndsay -you really are as crazy as me :) – couldn't afford photoshop. I use Corel Painter IX and a Wacom graphics tablet for all the drawing. I often start with a pencil concept sketch. I would love to get into graphic design one day, so will no doubt have to learn the Adobe suite…do you use photoshop?
oops – sorry about the y -I have a good friend Lyndsay, in Cape Town
The colours and the story…stunning!
Thanks Chantelle
Now this is special! I'm imagining this world now … I think those humanoids would shuffle rather than walk … it's a warm and dank world … and the humaniods don't like other aliens – they're a bit cantankerous.
I just love your work like I keep saying
Nice! I'm a fan of sci-fi and the creatures looks neat too. With all the cloudy environment it feels pretty dreamy and alien too.

Bagehot's take is clearly vindicated. Grade inflation is a no-brainer; an irrefutable given - based on past figures & data included.
Today's culture of heaping incessant & undue praise & over-confidence on our narcissistic, self-conceited & molly-coddled youth has led to this sorry plight & lowering of education standards.
A-Levels are no longer what they once were justly touted to be. Now it's a sorry caricature of its earlier pre-eminence. But nuthin that's ir-redeedmable. All it takes is a dose of 'tuff love & hard work', really..

Amazing - loved it here!
Spend 7 wonderful days at this luxury penthouse condo - best unit in the complex. 3 gorgeous decks .. some days just spent time moving from deck to deck taking in the views and watching the ships go by. Unit has everything you need and is top notch design and quality. Unit has it's own rooftop pool and hot tub which we had practically to ourselves all week. Great restaurants nearby - make sure to go to Mama's on the French side of Oyster Bay - by far best pizza on the island and had the best lasagna ever there. Oyster Bay Resort and area also has many nice restaurants to choose from and all within walking distance.
Outstanding Spinnaker Casa Maritima
Our stay in this condo was fantastic. My husband, adult daughter, and I found the space perfect for us, with essentially two master bedrooms separated by the living/dining area. It is tastefully remodeled and appointed, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses and utensils. The view from the balcony was of the bay and it looked directly across to Captain Oliver's, where we had a great dinner one evening. We walked there, and it was a good hike, but the waiter called a cab for us to ride home. The pool and beach at Oyster Bay Resort is just a 2 minute walk and both are really nice. Of course, the lap pool at the unit is just down a flight of stairs. Also at Oyster Bay are several outstanding restaurants and a small but well-stocked grocery store that has the most wonderful croissants delivered fresh and warm every morning, if you don't wait too late to go! All the staff we encountered could not possibly have been any nicer or more accommodating. We did just fine without a vehicle, since the resort has an activities desk with outings, and the taxi service was very reliable. We left knowing the first names of waiters, cabbies, housekeepers, maintenance staff and more. It was soon obvious to us why so many of the guests were repeaters, some several years over! We look forward to our next visit to St. Martin, and will certainly try to book this unit again.

LGBT Ally Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Proactive Health Decision
May 15, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Charlie Joughin, HRC Press Secretary
Yesterday actress and LGBT ally Angelina Jolie announced in a New York Times op-ed that she had undergone a preventative double mastectomy. She talks about losing her mother after a decade-long fight against breast cancer, and her desire to do whatever it takes to beat the disease and be around for her children and her grandchildren. Jolie writes:
"We often speak of 'Mommy's mommy,' and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a 'faulty' gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer."
The Academy Award-winning actress has received tremendous praise from women and healthcare professionals around the world for going public with her decision and raising awareness about the disease that affects hundreds of thousands of women around the world each year.
According to the American Cancer Society, studies suggest that lesbians and bisexual women get less routine care than other women, including breast and cervical cancer screening. Some of the reasons for this include low rates of health insurance, fear of discrimination, or negative experiences with health care providers. Check out HRC's LGBT health and aging resources for info on coming out to your doctor and tips for dealing with healthcare discrimination.
Please take a moment to say #ThanksAngelina on Twitter for encouraging women to take charge of their health and know their options.

Hello. My name is Allouette. I am a shy, quiet, very pretty, spayed, lionhead girl. I was surrendered along with several other bunnies (McDreamy, Paradox, Argentine and Sparrrow) to a local shelter when my humans lost their home.
I am currently living in a group along with McDreamy, Teardrop,Cyan, Dolly,Humera and Feather here at SaveABunny and I would really prefer to be adopted with one of them as my friend. McDreamy and I are related. Or, maybe you'd like to adopt me as a friend to your spayed/neutered rabbit?
I am such a pretty and unsual looking little girl with my long lashes and lionhead mane. I am shy now, but with your love, I know I will blossom and dance for you!

Believe it or not ketchup can be homemade. Granted, you 'd have to be pretty hard up for something to do to go ahead and follow this recipe but we're trying to set a good example here.

Instead of staying in your parked car listening to the last 5 minutes of her Sybian ride you can just pop this little unit out of the dash, plug in your headphones and cruise casually into the office like a normal person.
Your iPhone is, in fact, like a miniature iPad so why not treat it as such? The TidyTilt contraption tames and stores your headphone cable plus the screen protector doubles as a stand for tabletop scrolling. Very tidy, yes.
When you're battling the bad breath, stinky pits, and heavy-duty stubble that only a man such as yourself can produce, you need a dopp kit that's tough as nails. This one could be it.

Over the past few years Roku has helped push TV viewing forward into the future. Their new Streaming Stick is another big leap.

Swiss watchmaker IWC is introducing a new military-style chronograph with San Diego roots. Named for the Miramar air base and the Tom Cruise flick filmed right up the road from werd.com headquarters, this watch is as tough as our local leathernecks. Its ceramic case, titanium case back, and a whopping 168-hour power reserve make it battle proof.

The DV300F from Samsung has a dual view LCD for easy self-portraits but what's even cooler is the built-in wi-fi that lets you post your pics to the web straight from the camera. What will they think of next? Maybe adding a keypad for making calls?
Since winter doesn't seem to be coming this year, you should be thinking about that new mower you're going to need come Spring. The forthcoming CTX from Craftsman is a solid choice. It cuts grass like a mofo and comes equipped with automatic traction control, electronic fuel management, cruise control and a dash-mounted beer holder. What else do you really need to know?

The best revenge is a life well lived
Originally printed 5/5/2005 (Issue 1318 - Between The Lines News)
Some days it can be hard to keep going. These are the days when April showers bring May snow storms, it feels like most of the news is bad, and it seems like Bill Frist and George W. Bush are in their version of God's heaven and nothing is right with the world.
Bad news aside, people are waking up to the writing on the wall. On page 11, we bring you the straight and gay led student group Students Achieving Marriage Equality, which demonstrated on the Capitol steps on April 27. On page 28 we tell you about Deborah Rudacille, a straight natal woman who wrote a remarkable, stereotype-free book about transgender people and the struggle for transgender rights.
And on page 9 we actually bring you some good news. Just in time for the second Family Lobby Day on Tuesday, May 10, state Representative Paul Condino is about to introduce a fair and just bill in the Michigan House that will protect our children by allowing second-parent adoption. The bill already has 11 co-sponsors, all Democrats. Be sure to contact your Representative if his or her name isn't on the list and thank those that are.
Bev Davidson, president of the Coalition for Adoption Rights Equality, one of the groups behind the May 10 Lobby Day, is enduring the uncertainties and joys of being pregnant, a lesbian, and partnered - all while working to end that insecurity not only for her family, but for all LGBT families with children. "My dream was to be able to have this bill passed before I had a baby, but at least the bill will be introduced before we have the baby, so that makes me happy," Davidson told BTL. With inspiring stories like Bev's, how hard can it be for each of us to write one more letter, make one more phone call, or write one more check to the pro-LGBT organization of our choice?
And having done one or more of these, go out and have some fun. A life spent solely in action will burn us out, unless we can have some joy along the way. And besides - nothing makes right wing radicals grind their teeth more than the fact that we have the best parties. So take some time out from action and bad news this month to go see "Hairspray," which we review in this issue, a musical about a girl with big hair and equally big ideas. After all, the best revenge is a life well lived.

Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board Revises Rules Regarding Same-Sex Couples
September 20, 2013 by Robin Maril, Senior Legislative Counsel
Today the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board published an interim rule providing that the board will look the state of celebration of a marriage to determine the marital status of Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) participants.
The TSP is a tax-deferred retirement savings plan for Federal civilian employees and members of the uniformed services. It is similar to the 401(k) savings accounts used by private-sector employees. Previously, marital status was based on the laws of the state of domicile of the participant—limiting recognition to legally married couples currently living in a recognition state for important aspects of the program, things like distribution of death benefits.
Today's regulatory revision comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Windsor striking down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). In advancing this important change, the Board cited this decision and the "detrimental" impact of the state of domicile standard on same-sex couples.
The interim rule goes into effect immediately, but the Board is also seeking public comment on the change for the next thirty days. It will review that public input before making the change final.
HRC urged the Board to make this change and applauds this revision, which will have an important impact on the retirement and benefits of federal employees. Click here to view the interim rule.

Went here with my wife and we LOVED the place! Very very good food and a very nice place. Our favorite was the Kitchen Sink roll, out of this world! We were wanting to eat some good Sushi while in San Diego and they hit it out of the ball park. Best Susi we have ever had.

At last night's Gucci Beauty Launch Event, Hannah Bronfman wore the same Gucci Spring 2014 Printed Playsuit Naomie Harris originally wore back in November 2013 at the 2013 Harper's Bazaar Women Of the Year Awards:
Hannah paired the romper with a ponytail, $1,190 Gucci Nouveau Double Tassel Suede Clutch, and a pair of $775 Jimmy Choo Lance Sandals, while Naomie stayed true to the catwalk with the brand's $697 Strappy Ankle Boots.
On the runway, the piece was styled with slicked back hair and strappy shoes.
What do you think? Who wore it better?

I love both ladies but Naomie.
Both women look great! But Naomie for the win!
Wow…this is good look for Naomie (she usually looks really boring, though always beautiful).
Naomie got this one
That is just one ugly designer piece. It does not look good on any of them. Ughh, and I guess it was expensive too huh…
Naomie did this!
Yessssss skin for both of them!!
I like it on the runway the most… to be honest
ummmm.. this piece is UGLY

I love Mother-ease fitted diapers, they're the only ones that will fit my hard-to-fit daughter. They stay nice and soft after multiple washings, and wash very well. They do need a doubler since they're not extremely absorbent on their own, but I found that one hemp doubler with the OS fitted was enough for my heavy wetter during the day. For nighttime I use this over a doubler (cotton or hemp work equally well) and a prefold, and then a wool soaker over everything.

The Federal Reserve voiced concern Wednesday over higher mortgage rates and low inflation, hinting that a slowdown in monetary stimulus is further away.
Meanwhile, new data on Q2 GDP growth clouded the outlook for when the economy can grow without the Fed's help.
At a two-day policy meeting, central bankers trimmed their assessment of recent growth but were more upbeat about the future. A warning in the post-meeting statement on low inflation's risk to the economy was seen as the main change vs. June.
"That argues for more of the same," said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
As expected, the Fed continued its $85 billion monthly bond-buying program. But policymakers also didn't offer any hints that purchases will slow soon. Many analysts and investors had been expecting a September decision.
Stocks were volatile after the Fed announcement, closing mixed. The 10-year Treasury yield, which hit 2.69% early, finished at 2.61%, up 1 basis point.
"The housing sector has been strengthening, but mortgage rates have risen somewhat," the Fed said in its policy statement.
With mortgage rates near a two-year high, demand for loans to buy a home fell last week to a five-month low, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Wednesday.
Fed easing policies are tied to data, especially on jobs and prices. Some officials also want to see output expand faster before tapering quantitative easing.
Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated in July that the timing will depend on how much federal budget cuts weigh on the economy. The initial take on Q2 GDP did little to clear up the outlook.
The U.S. economy expanded at a 1.7% annual rate in Q2, still sluggish but better than expected. Relatively modest federal budget cuts suggest the sequester was overhyped — or that it will curb Q3 and Q4 growth too.
Revisions also showed that the recession wasn't as deep as previously thought while the recovery has been stronger, though growth after Q1 2012 was revised lower.
Private employers in July added 200,000 jobs, payroll processor ADP said, better than expected. Economists expect the Labor Department on Friday to report a nonfarm payroll rise of 175,000.
The sequester took effect in late Q1, with the bulk of its impact expected in Q2. But federal consumption and investment shrank at a 1.5% pace vs. Q1's 8.4% fall.
The data don't fit with Congressional Budget Office data on the sequester's impact, SunTrust Chief Economist Gregory Miller said. He said the sequester seems to be a "high-profile, low-impact event" but could hit Q3 and Q4 GDP more than predicted.
The economy grew at a 2.2% annual rate in Q4's final reading, unchanged from the earlier version and missing expectations of an upward revision to 2.4%. For all of 2014, GDP expanded 2.4%. Despite the slightly disappointing "new normal" reality of tepid growth, some of the details of the ...
Q4 GDP finalized The economy expanded 2.2%, as originally estimated, and just shy of the 2.4% economists had expected the revision to show. Some of the details were revised, including a 4.4% pace of consumer spending that was even better than the 4.2% originally reported. For all of '14, the ...
Jobless claims tumbled again in the March 21 week, suggesting a labor market that's not only on firm footing, but one that's heating up. That's despite other economic data in 2015 that has generally been soft and below forecasts. Initial claims declined by 9,000 to 282,000, the Labor Department ...
Jobless claims sink There were 282,000 initial claims for benefits in the March 21 week, down 9,000 from the prior week and beating expectations of 293,000. The 4-week moving average dropped 7,750 to 297,000. Continuing claims declined 6,000 to 2.416 mil, though the 4-week moving average rose 3,000 ...
Orders for long-lived goods sank in February, adding to a string of reports signaling a slow patch for U.S. manufacturing. Durable goods orders fell 1.4%, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, defying forecasts of a 0.7% gain. January's gain was revised from 2.8% down to 2%. Durables excluding ...

Reviews For Filson Bags 70262 OT
This Product:
Filson Bags: Otter Green 70262 OT USA-Made Water-Resistant Rugged Rucksack
It's tough, roomy, looks great, and is easy to carry. My only gripe at all was I would like it to have some pen holders somewhere (I stashed them in the front pockets easily but they would lean over sometimes), and the burly leather straps can get uncomfortable if fully loaded and walking a long time as they break in, but this will get better as it "seasons" and can be easily remedied with some padding. The quality is top shelf and this will only get better as it gets older.

I know there are a ton of posts out there for burners and kettles.....I just don't have the time to go through all of them. I will keep this simple. I want to upgrade my turkey fryer partial 5 gallon boils to full boil 5 gallon batches. I want a kettle with a valve to eliminate the lifting and I need a new burner and stand so it is high enough to feed into my fermenter easily. Budget isn't a concern right now...just need ideas. Looking forward to the replies......I appreciate this site and everyone that is on it. Thank you in advance.
Blickmann burner hands down there. Get the longer legs if you need/want. You have options on the kettle. You can either get one of several pre-made versions make/models or build a keggle. I've gone through a BoilerMaker, and two other kettles (I made both of those) before moving to a keggle. If you only want to buy one pre-made then you need to look at the ones available. I will mention that, contrary to normal cooking, tri-ply bottoms are of not much benefit to us. Look at the 10 gallon offerings, 15 gallon too if you think you'll ever want to have more post boil. Just be sure that the kettle is of solid construction. If there's a LHBS near you that has some, at least on display, check them out in person. If it feels light, or flimsy, discard it as an option.
If budget is no concern, get the blichman burner with extension legs and a blichman pot. You're done. If budget is a concern, there are many alternatives.
The bayou classic SP50 has taller legs and is about $70 online. The shorter models SQ14 and SP10 are about $50.
Keep in mind that your larger 10 gallon kettle full volume boil will likely need equipment to chill the wort from boiling to yeast pitching temps. Immersion Chiller, Counter flow chiller and plate chiller are common solutions. If you use a pump with the chiller then the burner height is no longer an issue.
On they low end you can get a thick AL kettle for $40 and add a valve. On the high end you can spend >$300 on a bilchman SS Kettle.
I use a bayou classic double burner stove...it has adjustable legs and I can put two 60qt kettles on it at the same time. Its been a workhorse for 4 years, no complaints...they even have awesome customer service as it tipped over once (my fault 100%) broke a brass gas piece and Bayou replaced it for free with the knowledge it was my fault it broke, they even tossed in two of the parts so now I have a backup. As for kettles, I have pieced them together over the years and done my own work to install the ball valves and site glasses. I don't own a blichmann kettle and don't plan on it for two reasons, cost and they don't have an aluminum bottom plate like many SS kettles due, which I prefer for various reasons. I am building an electric rig right now and I will be buying a MoreBeer heavy duty kettle for my mashtun when its time to give up the coolers...I would recommend taking a look at those as an option.
Thank you for the replies. As far as the Blichmann I know it is the best of the best, but right now it is not realistic for the bank account. I am not using any pumps nor do I want to at this time. Just want a solid kettle to do a FULL boil for a 5 gallon batch and a tall enough burner that I can attach a hose to the ball valve and let it run into the carboy. I do have a wort chiller already. Any other ideas on something between a newbie turkey fryer set-up and the Blichmann dream set-up?? Thanks.
Are you handy? Do you either have, or have friends with some pretty basic tools (good drill, right angle grinder or even saws-all)?? If so, see about making a keggle. Simple ball valve and dip tube assembly can be made for not a lot of money. Cheaper with brass hardware, better (but a few dollars more) with a stainless ball valve. Biggest items are getting the keg, then cutting/drilling it.
Otherwise, if you at least have (or have access to) a decent drill, go to a restaurant supply store and get a 40qt aluminum stock pot. Drill that and install the ball valve and dip tube assembly. Probably run you under $100 for the kettle that way.
I am pretty handy and could do that for sure. Wouldn't a 5 gallon full boil batch be a little crazy to do in a 15 gal keggle??
