ON MARCH 1, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case involving the Texas congressional redistricting plan engineered in 2003 by former House majority leader Tom DeLay. Appellants charge both that the Texas map was partisan districting run amok and that it violated the right of minority voters, under the Voting Rights Act, to elect the candidates of their choice.
On the first matter, court precedents are sparse; the High Court has been understandably reluctant to tackle partisan gerrymandering, with the result that no constitutional standards (beyond one person, one vote) govern the process. But on the second matter, where precedents are numerous and murky, the Court should seize the opportunity to begin restoring intelligibility and common sense to an area of law that seems to have come unmoored from American principle.
That there is work for the Court to do is obvious to anyone familiar with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and its subsequent amendments by Congress and interpretations by the Department of Justice and the courts. These have brought us to a pass where fairness to minorities has a legal definition so arcane and counterintuitive as to seem like something out of Through the Looking Glass. To underline the need for serious repair work by the High Court, it is worth revisiting one of the key precedents of recent years--Georgia v. Ashcroft (2003)--as well as a private, internal Department of Justice memo leaked to the press shortly before Christmas and revealing department staff-attorneys' tortured attempt to apply the Georgia precedent to the question of the legality of Texas's 2003 proposed redistricting.
WHEN THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT was originally passed, every provision served the same simple aim: to make sure previously disfranchised southern blacks could register and vote. That simplicity proved unsustainable. The year before the act was passed, the Supreme Court had signaled concern with the "inalienable right" of every citizen to "full and effective participation" and "an equally effective voice" in its landmark one person, one vote decision, Reynolds v. Sims. By the early 1970s, protection against the "dilution" of black votes had been incorporated into judicial interpretations of the Voting Rights Act.
When were black votes diluted? In applying the statute, both the Justice Department (the main player) and the U.S. district court for the District of Columbia initially assumed that only black officeholders could fully represent black voters. Thus, black voters had "an equally effective voice" only when a districting plan contained as many safe black seats as could possibly be drawn. That view produced extremes of racial gerrymandering--the infamous spider-shaped districts--that, starting in 1993, ceased to sit well with a majority on the Supreme Court. In Miller v. Johnson (1995), for instance, the Court fretted about states' assigning voters to racially separate districts on the "offensive and demeaning assumption that voters of a particular race, because of their race, 'think alike, share the same political interests, and will prefer the same candidates at the polls.'"
In 2003, in Georgia v. Ashcroft, the Court added another concern to that of racial stereotyping. Perhaps black votes were being "wasted" in what the ACLU approvingly referred to as "max-black" districts. That is, perhaps the goal should be to concentrate only as many blacks in a district as necessary to elect a black representative, then to assign black voters beyond that number to other districts. The concern applied as well to Hispanic districts, Hispanics having been added as a protected group in 1975.
Potentially wasted votes were the central theme of Georgia v. Ashcroft, which involved districting for the Georgia senate. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's opinion for a majority of five was a classic study in just how lost courts can become when trying to sort out questions of racial fairness and political representation.
In her opinion, O'Connor woke up to the fact that minority "representation" is not so easy to define. Who counts as a "representative"? The question is fundamental, because section 5 of the Voting Rights Act--the provision at issue in the Georgia case--protects black voters from any change in electoral rules or district lines that results in representational "backsliding." The object was to prevent states from changing their electoral rules in ways that chipped away at blacks' political strength. Section 5 requires the southern states (with their history of disfranchising blacks), as well as Texas, Arizona, and scattered counties elsewhere identified by a statistical trigger, to obtain approval ("preclearance") from either the Justice Department or the U.S. district court for the District of Columbia for any redistricting.
Georgia's senate districting plan required preclearance. It lowered the percentage of black voters in some districts (although not below 50 percent), but increased the number of districts certain to elect white Democrats. This was an unusual legislative step, but Justice O'Connor explained the logic. "No party contests that a substantial majority of black voters in Georgia vote Democratic," she wrote, and thus any increase in the number of Democratic state senators--even if they were white--would boost minority representation. Correspondingly, the implication was, any decrease in the number of Republican legislators would be good for blacks.
In other words, white Democrats count as minority "representatives." It was a remarkable legal conclusion for the Court to reach.
Before Georgia v. Ashcroft, majority-black districts were sacrosanct; they couldn't be eliminated in a new map. That's still true. But the logic of O'Connor's opinion makes all existing Democratic districts that contain a significant number of blacks equally untouchable, since the assumption is that Democrats speak for the interests of blacks.
With Georgia v. Ashcroft, the Voting Rights Act became not just a charter for black enfranchisement and officeholding but also a statute to protect certain safe seats for white Democrats. Never mind that Georgia is majority-Republican (58 percent of its voters went for George W. Bush in 2004); Democratic districts in which blacks are an "influence" (the Court's term) appear to have become another permanent entitlement.
On the other hand, in trying to figure out whether a new districting map would diminish minority representation, lower courts, Justice Department attorneys, and the states could not simply count heads--those of white and minority officeholders who could be said to "represent" black and Hispanic interests. As O'Connor explained, "The ability of minority voters to elect a candidate of their choice is important but often complex in practice to determine." In fact, in calculating the level of "minority representation," there were factors to be weighed even beyond whether a white incumbent was "sympathetic to the interests of minority voters"--factors such as whether a white incumbent occupied a position of legislative power.
Here we have arrived at the equivalent of Justice Potter Stewart's famous definition of pornography: You know minority representation when you see it. The majority opinion in Georgia v. Ashcroft is a nightmare; it provides no coherent legal standards. Within the majority of five, only Justice Clarence Thomas kept his wits about him. He concurred with the Court's bottom line--remanding the case for further consideration in light of the majority opinion. But he reiterated his belief that his colleagues had "immersed the federal courts in a hopeless project of weighing questions of political theory." Even worse, by segregating voters "into racially designated districts . . . [they had] collaborated in what may aptly be termed the racial 'balkaniz[ation]' of the Nation."
THE THICKET OF CONFUSION that the Court created in Georgia v. Ashcroft is fully apparent in the Justice Department staff memo written a few months later and leaked to the press in late 2005. It recommended that the attorney general reject the 2003 Texas congressional districting map. The attorney general's subsequent decision to approve that map was resented by the career attorneys, eventually resulting in the leak.
The 73-page memo took up the question of the legality of the Texas map in light of Georgia v. Ashcroft. Both Texas and the Justice staff attorneys agreed that a new plan must not reduce the number of districts that sent blacks or Hispanics to Congress. One matter in dispute was whether three districts where white Democrats had been elected could be altered. Texas argued these districts were not sacred--that they were not among the districts that must be protected in calculating fair minority representation. That is, they need not "provide minority voters with the ability to elect candidates of choice." The authors of the memo had a different view.
The first of the three disputed districts--number 24 under the old plan--was majority-white in voting-age population. It had elected Martin Frost, whom the memo depicted as a "candidate of choice" for minority voters because he was "responsive" to their interests. He was also the dean of the Texas congressional delegation and thus a political powerhouse. Here we see the first fruit of Georgia: a white Democrat entitled to his seat under the Voting Rights Act because he is said to represent minority voters.
The second of the three districts--number 25--had been represented by Chris Bell. The memo argued that Bell, too, was "responsive" to black and Hispanic interests and therefore that his district should be left as it was, even though the designers of the 2003 plan deemed their new District 9 more likely to elect a black. Time would bear them out: In the 2004 election, held under the new district lines, District 9 elected Al Green, adding a third black congressman to the Texas delegation. Throughout the memo, the career attorneys attempted to read political tea leaves, predicting the race or political sympathies of candidates to be elected from the various districts under the new plan. It was a practice invited by Justice O'Connor's opinion, but, as the example of District 9 suggests, attorneys in Washington were (inevitably) not very good at it.
The third district, number 29, had been represented by Gene Green. But Rep. Green, the memo said, quoting a Houston city councilman, was "basically Hispanic himself." It was an interesting description. In the Jim Crow South, white civil rights workers were often depicted as "black." And there are blacks who are trashed by their political enemies as "white." In the memo, some whites are, well, not really white. It will come as no surprise that according to the staff attorneys, Rep. Henry Bonilla does not count as a Hispanic because he is a Republican.
A disastrous Supreme Court opinion cannot be held entirely responsible for the ideologically driven work of career attorneys in the Justice Department, but it did give those attorneys permission to spin a tale based on highly dubious assumptions about racial identity and minority representation.
THE QUESTIONS before the Court on March 1--arising from several combined cases--are much the same as those discussed in the leaked memo. The brief for the United States filed in the Texas case focuses entirely on race-related questions, on the assumption that some minimum clarity in voting rights law is desperately needed. The briefs submitted by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and other civil rights groups representing minority plaintiffs only confirm the need for a fresh and hard judicial look at the legal standards governing the Voting Rights Act. All players in this drama have strayed far from the bedrock idea of eliminating black disfranchisement. All of them must at some level know what even Justice O'Connor acknowledged: that the race-driven districting that has become pervasive--and accepted by both left and right--is harmful.
"Racial classifications with respect to voting carry particular dangers," Justice O'Connor wrote in 1993. "Racial gerrymandering, even for remedial purposes, may balkanize us into competing racial factions; it threatens to carry us further from the goal of a political system in which race no longer matters--a goal that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments embody, and to which the Nation continues to aspire." Well said, and too soon forgotten.

Micro Tripod - for use with a standard ball head
Mar 29, 2014
I am looking for a micro tripod that will take a standard ball head (e.g. Sirui).
I don't mind if the tripod is only a few inches high, as long as it is compact enough to carry in a small bag or large pocket and is steady enough to hold a mirrorless camera. I currently use a Sony NEX 7.
Thanks in advance!
Sony Alpha NEX-7

Republicans are ignoring a White House veto threat and pushing a bill through the House eliminating a program aimed at helping people refinance homes that are worth less than they paid for them.
GOP lawmakers say the Federal Housing Administration Refinance Program is a good example of an initiative the government can't afford at a time of gargantuan federal deficits. With nearly 1 in 4 households with home mortgages underwater -- worth less than they were purchased for -- Democrats say the program could help people stay in their homes.
The White House threatened a veto against the bill on Tuesday, saying the program was cost-efficient and would help stabilize the housing market. The bill's fate is also dim in the Democratic-run Senate.

High-frequency trading company, Optiver, has jumped in front to become Australia's best place to work in 2013 – proving that big companies with multimillion-dollar human resources budgets do not always have the advantage.
The Sydney arm of the Netherlands-based company employs 156 people to price and trade financial products. But here's the thing: the company knows what is important to its employees and treats them like adults.
This year's Best Places to Work awards celebrate 50 top employers that go out of their way to keep their people happy and engaged in their work.
Great Place to Work Australia examined 179 companies, surveying employees and auditing their managers about their efforts to create a great workplace culture.
In the fast-paced environment at Optiver, that means making sure new recruits are teamed up with a buddy to help them learn the ropes. They are given ethics training, and there are efforts to cut "red tape" and bureaucracy which would frustrate the highly-motivated people who work there.
Optiver's win is not about "perks". While there are subsidised dinners and extra holidays – and some of the other benefits that are now the baseline for top employers these days – people work at Optiver because they love the kind of work they do and the atmosphere.
You can get pool tables, free coffee and bike racks anywhere these days.
Says one Optiver employee: "The work is challenging, interesting and rewarding. There is an extremely fast feedback cycle where the fruits of work and effort are reaped almost immediately. Combined with interesting and challenging puzzles, the work is almost addictive."
The managing director of Great Place to Work Australia, Zrinka Lovrencic, says smaller companies have an advantage in this year's survey.
The long-running economic downturn has taken its toll on big organisations, where job cuts have had a depressing effect on employee engagement.
However retrenchments do not have to damage a company's standing as a great place to work – if it is done right. She points to the listed surf and snow-wear company Quiksilver as an example of an organisation that took tough decisions, but managed to keep its people on board. "It depends on how it is handled," Lovrencic says.
At Quiksilver, which is based in Torquay, Victoria, keeping the communication flowing means that high levels of engagement are maintained, despite the fact that up to 20 per cent of staff have been retrenched over the past two to three years.
A painful retailing environment, as well as a reorganisation of the 526-person company under new chief executive Andy Mooney, meant that there were some job losses in back office areas – as well as new opportunities in e-commerce and direct retail, the company HR director, Mick Fuller says.
"Our belief is that strong staff engagement and being close to our staff has certainly helped us meet these challenges," he says.
Exiting employees were offered employee assistance and outplacement services, as you would expect, but the company's culture of openness about its performance against its targets meant that people understood the necessity for tough decisions.
"Communication is one of the key things we have concentrated on over the past two years," Fuller says.
Getting the right people in the first place can set a company on the path to best employer status. Lovrencic says the trend this year is for companies to be increasingly careful in recruiting.
When the cost of a bad hire is estimated to be at least 3.5 times the cost of that person's salary, the economic necessity of avoiding hiring mistakes is obvious.
"They are very strict about finding people with the right skills because they know they can hit the ground faster," she says. "There's an urgent need to get those things right."
Simon Moss, managing director of recruitment firm TRC Group, says it is not necessary to throw money at people to get them to join. "It is the intangible things, the tweaks, that don't necessarily cost a lot of money."
Sydney-based TRC, which has 38 staff, took 12th place on this year's Best Places to Work list and uses some "gamification" to make some of the routine tasks more interesting. Much of the work in recruitment is repetitive and so games are used to help keep people motivated.
Another thing that costs little, but is much appreciated is a wine fridge. There is a wine expert on hand to make sure the selection is up to scratch. "One of our staff is a wine expert," Moss explains. "We don't employ someone just for that – that would be decadent . . . one day, maybe."
A level of trust is apparent in the fact there are no rules about when the fridge can be cracked open. "As soon as you start writing rules around something like that, people start stretching the rules and it all goes wrong," he says. The company has also arranged (with three major banks) staff discounts for home mortgages.
The pay-off for the attention to those little details is that staff stay longer. The recruitment industry operates a bit like a revolving door, with average employee tenure of only one-and-a-half years, compared with about three years for TRC. "We rarely lose anyone to the competition," Moss says.
When top companies are putting together their benefits packages, the key word is "customisation".
Lovrencic says the role of human resources divisions is now less about hiring and firing, and more about getting the best from people.
"It is what motivates them, and where they get their sense of achievement from," she says. "You really need to understand who is working for you, what makes you different and why they should work for you."
This is where small companies can shine. "They are less bureaucratic and hierarchical and less traditional," she says.
At TRC, the benefits package is tailored to each individual, who can choose from a menu that includes paying HECS loans, house insurance, an iPad or new suit.
However, that would not suit the "geeks" at Melbourne-based application development company Readify. People there are more interested in getting their hands on the best and latest gadgets and technology.
Readify chief executive, Graeme Strange, says employees get funded to acquire the laptop and mobile phone of their choosing. After two years, those devices become their personal property (to take home or pass on to the children) and they are funded to buy new ones again.
"Geeks like equipment, they like technology," Strange says. The Melbourne-based company also pays for a phone plan and broadband ($70 per month) at home, which means its 156 employees are well connected when they work from home.
"We don't care about personal phone calls or what you are using it for," Strange says.
Readify also acknowledges that its bright and highly skilled people will be keen to experience working overseas (for instance, at Microsoft's Redmond campus in Washington) or will want to try developing their own projects.
So it allows sabbaticals of 12 months or more, trusting that staff will return to them, richer for the experience (if nothing else). "Very often, they do come back," Strange says.
Treating people with respect is a tough ask if you are also treating them like children. At chartered accountants SiDCOR, in Newcastle, NSW, people are trusted to make their own decisions about when they take their holidays, says managing director Paul Siderovski.
With 35 staff, there is no approval process for taking leave. "You just put it in your calendar and we only track it for payroll purposes," he says.
When it comes to what motivates employees, it is hard to go past giving them a stake in the business. At Readify, a bonus scheme allows them to share in the company's profits.
Canberra-based professional services firm, Cordelta, goes the whole hog by turning its employers into owners through an employee ownership scheme.
The company, with 119 staff, was started nine years ago by managing director Ken Gutterson and director Matthew Ryan and is now 60 per cent owned by staff and 40 per cent by Cordelta's founders.
The process of growing an employee-owned company can be arduous and expensive. Cordelta started with a unit trust, but once more than 20 per cent of the company was transferred to employees, it invested $100,000 to move it into a full corporate structure.
Now that it is approaching 100 shareholders, it must become a "disclosing entity" under ASIC guidelines, which means continuous disclosure to shareholders and half-yearly audits. When people leave Cordelta, the company has the option to buy back their shares.
Despite the cost and administrative burden that employee ownership brings, Gutterson says the process has been worth the hassle.
"Psychologically, it makes a big difference. People who own shares feel like it is their business. There is that sense of ownership, responsibility and control," he says. "The whole company has a family feel and people don't like to leave it for that reason."
In fact, staff turnover is less than 5 percent, which is a low rate.
Among other benefits, Cordelta also has a profit-share system, dividing 10 per cent of net profits every six months. An unusual aspect to this is that the profits are shared equally: everyone gets the same amount, typically $2000 to $3000, every six months.
"I get the same amount as the receptionist gets, in dollar terms. It is very socialist really," Gutterson laughs.

Pre-made bags bring consistency
For a more consistent look for its line of frozen Mexican foods, Ruiz Food Products of Dinuba, CA, is using the Promobag(TM) from Robbie Mfg. (Lenexa, KS).
Ruiz had been using an expanded polystyrene tray with a polyvinyl chloride overwrap and hand-applying labels to the top and bottom of the package. "It was a labor-intensive procedure and you don't get a lot of accuracy so it's not the best presentation" says Bruce Woodlief director of marketing at Ruiz. Woodlief says the labels often weren't straight and sometimes there would be material bunched on the bottom of the package with a label over it. This made the label difficult to read.
Now the burritos tamales and other products are hand-placed onto an EPS tray from Pactiv Inc.(Lake Forest IL). A conveyor moves the filled trays to a Formost (Woodinville WA) bagging machine. The Promobag is made of 75-ga Clysar® polyolefin shrink film from DuPont (Wilmington DE). The tray is automatically placed into the bag and it's heat-sealed and shrunk. Robbie flexo-prints the bags in six colors with the artwork predistorted to accommodate for shrinkage.
In addition to providing a better-looking package Woodlief says the packaging materials are close to the same cost as the old overwrap and stickers. Although Ruiz did purchase a new machine Woodlief says the improved look of the packages and the desire to upgrade its system justifies the cost of the machine.
Ruiz now packages its entire line of 11 El Monterey® Quick Classics products--available nationally and retailing for $2.50 to $2.99 a tray--in the Promobag. Woodlief says that no numbers are available on sales but reaction to the change has been positive.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 739 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AwayWeGo GandCinChicago Facilities and staff are excellent. Location is perfect. Easy to walk to all locations for restaurants on Rush St, historic sites, lake shore drive and shopping. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cb17 Great staff and location This hotel is in a great location on Michigan Ave, close to shopping, restaurants and clubs, quite a few w/in walking distance. It's also located across the street from the city tour bus stops. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, from front desk to valet to housekeeping and the 3 members of the concierge staff that we consulted were super knowledgeable and helpful. The lobby is spacious with lots of seating. The onsite restaurant, The Grill, has fabulous food. (I had a delicious salmon burger there) We arrived well before check in time, after a sleepless night on AmTrak, and were able to get a room within an hour or so. The room itself was not what I expected - minimalist i guess you could say - few decorative items, no mini bar, but then I've never stayed at a Westin Hotel before. The lake view from our room was just amazing though. The room was clean, and we had to call and request robes from housekeeping. The phone was difficult to use. There was no cord so I could only use it via speaker. The drapes in the room were off track and the drapery rod had become unattached, and one of plates surrounding an electric plug was badly cracked/broken. Nothing that inconvenienced us in any way, just not what you would expect to find in a four star hotel. However, before I had a chance to report these issues, they were repaired! They are either mind readers, or perhaps they heard us discussing it on a phone line that had not been disconnected?? Mattresses and bedding were nice. My friend found them to be a little soft, but that's always a matter of preference. Toilet, sink and shower were in good working order. TV channel selection was minimal, but we were there to explore, so that wasn't a problem. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, because of the location, and a very friendly and helpful staff. August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JetD August stay We have stayed here many times. This time was my least favorite experience. The toilet had a very thick layer of mold under the rim. also on the Saturday evening, from 8 pm to 12:30 am we were literally rocked out of bed by a wedding reception being held on the floor above us (16). August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kmack0215 Fantastic As a frequent business traveler, choices for hotels are many, however this past weekend was about my college bound daughter.. The Westin Michigan Avenue was fantastic! From the parking attendants, to the front counter to the welcome gift from the General Manager the service was impeccable... If you are in for Chicago for business or pleasure, this is the property to seek out!! Thank you for a fantastic weekend! August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WildcatVisit Can't beat the location The location is perfect if you plan on exploring downtown museums, shopping & restaurants. Compared to other Westins, the rooms are a little more shop worn, but the beds are still comfy. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pau863 The hotel has nice service quality During this summer, my wife, my son and myself stayed at this hotel for some 2 weeks. We feel very comfortable and the staff are friendly and handle each request at the higher quality. August 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Carol939 Terrible service The service, accommodations, and amenities provided by this hotel were more than unsatisfactory, they were unacceptable. The deluxe room was less than standard at best. Wallpaper was peeling from the wall in my hotel room. Lighting was very poor. Food was mediocre and service was terrible. Service during dinners was nonexistent. My table had to wait on itself for water and coffee during dinner. Staff rushed eating by removing plates before you were finished. If you didn't keep one hand on your plate at all times it disappeared, and I am not exaggerating. I would not recommend this hotel for anything. August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JennBunny Great Location This hotel is in the perfect location to everything downtown, and easy to walk to many attractions as well as food places. I was disappointed in our room, it was not the quality I have come to expect from any Westin property (dusty, needed paint, not the cleanest) The Lobby area of the hotel was very nice. I was also disappointed to have no SPG recognition, especially since my entire stay was with my SPG points. I would recommend this hotel for the location. August 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by neveragain14 Stay away!!! What a HUGE disappointment!! There's only one good thing about this Westin Hotel, the location. The hotel was run down, staffhad poor communication skills! I had booked a room and asked for an early check-in (noon). I arrived around 12:30pm and the room was not ready. I asked when will I be able to check-in, the lady at the check-in desk. I can't give you a time but we will call you when your room is ready. Three hours later, no phone call, I return to the hotel to find out that the room they had set aside for me had a late 5pm checkout and the room would not be ready until 6pm-7pm. This is not acceptable. August 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by dicky the worst WESTIN I lived. Hi, Kristin To tell you the truth, it's really not a good expirence in The WESTIN of Chicago. This hotel provide almost 0 benefit & service for P-card member. No room upgrade, no welcome fruit, no free breakfast, no happy hour. Almost of time when I press "Express Service" of the phone for service, nobody will answer the phone. I asked for housekeeping at 8:00 Am, and will see the housekeeping in my room after 5:00 PM when I back to room. I asked for delay check-out on 6:00 PM and be refused. What make me feel no good is when I come back to hotel at 3:00 PM, my key card doesn't work yet. and we already confirmed for delay check-out when I checked in. The room is old and no swimming pool in hotel. I can say it is the worst WESTIN I lived. Both hardware & service. August 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lulu46 Great location I felt I was lied to on my check in. I reserved two rooms and only one was ready when I arrived ~ I did request adjoining rooms because of small children. I was told several stories the first one being the adjoining room still had occupants. When I checked at 6:00 P.M. same story. Next time I checked they said they were having to work on the bathroom and since I had the adjoining room I know nobody was in there working. We were finally able to get in the room at 7:45 P.M. August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tez87 Pleasant Experience at the Westin This was my first stay at the Westin on Michigan Ave and it was a good one. Although located on a busy road, my room was on a side street and very quiet. I liked the opportunity given to forego having the maids come in every day - and you even get reward points for it. August 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DivaCommish Hopitality? Not at all Jasmine, the front desk person needs to find a job that does not require contact with the public. Had to wait almost four hours for a room. Thank you Jasmine! I watched several flight crews get checked in, watched several guest get checked in, changed and out for the evening while I waited. Jasmine told me the guests in the room had a check out time at 3:30 and the room would be ready by 5. Checked at about 5:15-5:20 and was told the room was not ready, but by her actions and the facial expressions indicated that she was not checking on the room but was going through the motions to make it look like she was checking. At 6:27 p.m. finally received a call that a room was ready. A close to four hour wait for a room. This is year 12 or 13 the NGCRC has used the Westin as a host hotel and I have made it clear to the Director that it is time for a change. I could understand if it were just me (not really) but when I am hearing story after story about reservations being screwed up that is NOT OKAY! August 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RF71 Wonderful experience I was only able to stay for one night but I felt the service was great! The wonderful lady helping me with check in was so kind....I was also upgraded to a suite by the manager. I loved the location and would definitely stay here again. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrRoman Nice Place Away From Home The staff was excellent in providing individual service in all areas. It is nice to be able to order only one pancake and coffee and not have food wasted or left over. This is important for diabetics and small eaters!! August 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nikki123 The bathroom had no fan! The bathroom had no fan! Therefore, one had to shower with the door open, otherwise the bathroom mirror was dripping with humidity. There was, however, a filthy, dirt encrusted, inoperable fan above the shower, which was terribly gross to even look at. We did not receive housekeeping on Sunday, so when we returned to our room @ 6:00 pm, I called & talked to the operator & she said she would contact housekeeping & send someone up. When we returned from dinner @ 9:00 pm, the room had still not been cleaned. I Called again, & finally, someone came up. We were very inconvenienced, as we were getting up very early the next morning to catch a flight back home. Also, trying to sleep was difficult as to the noise in the hall & adjoining room. The bed was comfortable. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JLR19 Accommodating I frequent this hotel both on buisiness and with my family. This particular stay was with my family. As always, our room and food within the hotel were delightful, and staff was helpful. During this stay, however, an employee at the front desk, Jasmine, was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to assure comfort for my family during our brief stay. We very much enjoy visiting the Westin Michigan Ave. and will continue to do so much to the appreciation of friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. August 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jennica1977 Hotel is a total disappointment I am a Gold SPG Member and chose this hotel for the location. However, the hotel itself is in poor condition and in need up updating and normal maintainance. Our room was dated and in desparate need of a remodel (carpet very worn and patched up, window shade fell down when trying to open it, desk must have been recently stained to cover scratches because it was coming off on our clothes and hands while sitting at the desk, etc). Also, we were told that a late check-out of 4:00pm was extended to us due to our SPG status, but when we returned to our room after shopping at 3:15pm, we could not gain access to our room. Had to go downstairs with all of our bags and ask for someone to let us back in our room. Very disappointed in this hotel. The only thing it has going for it, would be the location. August 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ginalola1978 July 31 to Aug 3 Chicago Michigan Ave We had bugs in room, that actually crawled up on us! No one asked where they were. When someone came up to move us, he wouldn't even come into the room. Makes me wonder if they even did anything about it. No one checked with us the next day. Even though they apologized and took 50$ off bill, it really felt as if they didn't care almost seemed as if this has happened before. This was our first experience in a Westin and we were extremely disappointed with the total quality for the price! August 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by lfelton Westin Michigan Avenue This is an average hotel, but with a very good location. No one offered to help me with my luggage. Beds are very comfortable. Room is adequate. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jnally Long weekend in Chicago We stayed at this hotel because of location and specials that were available. We had a great stay and would return. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by arnievale Very good hotel in a great location This hotel meets expectations for what it purports to be. It is comfortable and functional in a great location. The Westin Michigan Avenue is across the street from the John Hancock Building. Rooms are clean and almost minimalist which works for me. I was on a high floor, so noise was not an issue: an outstanding feature in urban accomodation. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Paultucson Great Location and staff The room was very nice and the staff were very helpful. The pillows were terrible and made it hard to sleep. The bed was very nice and comfortable. The free bottled water every day was a great perk for use when we walked around the city. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Weddingguest11 Location The Westin's location is excellent. We have stayed in Chicago many times and by far this was our favorite place. We will definitely return! August 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Beaner Hotel is on Michicgan Ave Valet Parking was $67 per night SPG floor did not even include the sponge for the bath gel, cotton balls, etc. It was bare essentials! Place needs upgrading. Room was not ready when we arrived. Overall very disappointing for a Westin. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Will This hotel met or exceeded my expectations. Great comfort and the staff was very, very accommodating . August 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ktavpro Clean Comfort and great location August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nina2014 Lolapalooza weekend stay Location was great. Staff was very kind and courteous at all time. August 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by eang03 Westin Mich Ave Chicago This hotel is beautiful and the location is perfect. However, a good night's sleep is difficult to come by. I was there 6 nights and heard either noise in the hallway, from adjoining rooms, or from the street. I am not a light sleeper, but this hotel does not have quiet rooms. That being said, if you don't plan to sleep a lot it is a great hotel! August 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by western73 great location and very friendly staff We loved the location. We asked for a refrigerator and they delivered one within 20 mins. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about how to get around in the city.Room was clean,beds very comfortable and our view was great. Would stay there again. August 8, 2014

With patch 4.0.1 now upon us, rogues are experiencing more changes in a single patch than probably ever before. While our talent trees have regressed to 31-point incarnations, new mastery bonuses and abilities have been added to each tree to create definition and purpose. The glyph system has seen a similar reworking and boosts the number of glyphs we can use by a full 50 percent. Finally, the reworking of the buff and debuff system has granted us new utility in a raid environment.
Due to the breadth of the changes and the uncertainty of new mechanics, it's difficult to predict exactly what the outcome will be. It's hard to say which spec will be the most powerful, as each has seen significant change. Assassination rogues were hurt the least by the removal of armor penetration, but combat rogues had many of the abilities buffed to compensate. Subtlety may even be the dark horse, eclipsing both of the traditional PvE specs if everything goes its way. After we've had a few more days of patch 4.0.1 under our belt, it should be easier to figure out exactly what's working and what isn't.

Jar Box Pint Size Canning Jar Container JB1004$6.48
Jarbox is a pair of rigid plastic shells molded to safely nestle one dozen (12) pint size canning jars. The two shells snap firmly together, encasing their contents safely. The individual shells may also be used separately as trays for jars.
The right size
Pint-jar sizes are 18¼" x 13" x 2¾" and are designed to fit smaller jars well.
It's a snap
The two shells of the JarBox snap tightly together, protecting your canning investment. They can be opened by placing your fingers between the shells at the far corners and sliding forward while lifting gently.
Stacked up
JarBoxes are designed to be stacked atop one another. Each JarBox locks into the one above it and below it, increasing strength and structural integrity.
Locked together
When locked together, the entire stack of JarBoxes functions as one whole. It
can even lean slightly without coming apart. This ability helps ensure the safety of your glass jars.
Keep it clean
Not only does the JarBox system lock out pests, the shells themselves can be cleaned when necessary. They are dishwasher safe—and can even be hosed out if you wish.
Our customers continue to surprise us with their creative uses for JarBox. From gardening to storage to crafts, JarBox's strong quality construction is perfect for an endless variety of uses.Learn More

During last night's debate Mitt Romney claimed that Syria is Iran's "route to the sea."
Not only is that wrong, it isn't even close. Not even remotely.
Iran and Syria do not even share a border.
Personally I don't believe electing a Commander in Chief who fails at geography this badly is a good idea.

Commission for the wonderful Drakonic Knight of her thylacine character and Ifus's wolf/samoyed character! Each wield an elemental magic (fire and ice respectively), which combined would pack quite a punch I'd imagine. Reminiscent of the Antipode attack you could get with the right combo of characters in Chrono Trigger (one of my favorite games). And once again, the amazing DimeSpin names my art! I think she does most of the time actually, I just forget to put it here. Thanks DimeSpin!

Well you say it took too long but I certainly appreciate the fact that you spent the time to get it this good. It's really great! Someday I might get a commission from you too.
Amazing! I have nothing smart to say. All of my witty comments have disapeared!! lol
right into the favorites!
This is neat in more ways than one. OK, look at the artwork, now let your eyes go out of focus... the drawing becomes two galaxies seen through a telescope!
Amazing drawing!!
So beautiful! I would say the time put into it was definately worth it!
Beautiful effects with the magic!
This is just amazing. <3
whoa that is so cool
That was really worth the effort! Nice.
you do such amazing things! I love the way you draw fur and smoke, and the expression and anatomy are just perfect <3
Woahhh, I always love your colouring but this looks even more amazing than usual! I love the wispy effects of the magic and the glows they leave on the other character. Wonderful job with the poses and perspective here, too!
I love that smoke! Lovely colors, perspective, and poses as well! Fantastic work!

Rated 5 out of 5�by Amanda Great bat! Great price! My son loves this bat!! He's been practicing with it and can't wait for the season to start! August 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by apatrica Happy customer! I'm so glad I chose this bat for my son. He's 5 years old and in Shetland division. They only get five balls. My son would always hit it on the last ball and wouldn't go far or strike out. This Saturday was his first time using the easton big barrel bat and all three times he hit it on the first ball and went out to the outfield and that was just his first game can't wait what else he can do. This purchase was a great match for my son. April 27, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by Dadmullins Great bat for the $$$ Bat has great pop and he gets it through the zone quickly. Was worried because it was two ounces heavier than his little league bat but no problem swinging it. Got it for $99. Definitely worth it. July 2, 2014

Seasonal factors, combined with low housing inventory, particularly a lack of real estate-owned homes, drove California pending home sales lower in December, the California Association of Realtor recently reported. However, the share of distressed properties increased in December, as lenders pushed to close short sales and move them off their balance sheets.
Pending home sales data:
CAR's Pending Home Sales Index fell 20.5 percent from a revised 103.5 in November to 82.3 in December, based on signed contracts. Pending sales were down 6.5 percent from the 88.1 index recorded in December 2011. Pending home sales are forward-looking indicators of future home sales activity, providing information on the future direction of the market.

I love your images...

Love your work that I have seen so far. Hope to see many more.
Wonderful wonderful work.
Very beautiful Oo
Hello, this is wonderful. It gets on my nerves when ppl look at me when when I say Thor is a Viking god, they just say, "No, he's a superhreo," and I wanna smack their heads! >.< idots they act!
I'm currently having this tattoos over my elbow to go as part of my Thor, Nordic sleeve. Will try and get a good picture and send you.
ok, thanx a lot...
Hi mate, getting it finished this weekend as there are still a few parts which need to be completed on it and then I'll send you.
ok, can't wait...
Your drawings are great! The Celtic theme is also very interesting for me.
I still remember the first time that I saw this drawing.
Ive got an appointment for next week to get this tattoo on my left arm/shoulder, and its gonna be huge....14 inches from top to bottom. Its going to be the centerpeice of a celtic sleeve.
wooooow O.O stunning !!!
sorry I didn't think the first message went through.
I am getting in to engraving and I want to know if I could use your design to try to see what it would look like engraved in to some metal, giving you credit for the art of coarse. The piece would not be sold.
That is some of the best work I have seen. If it is ok with you I would like to engrave this.

If There Is Life In Lake Ellsworth It's Going To Be Like An Alien From Jupiter
"The experiment we're doing is very similar to an experiment one might do to see whether there is life on Europa. We know Europa has an icy crust and an ocean beneath it. If there's life on Europa it'll be living in a very similar way to life in Lake Ellsworth with total darkness, lots of pressure and using chemical processes rather than sunlight to power biological processes."
—University of Bristol professor of geosciences Martin Siegert tells the BBC that the life forms that he and his colleagues are hoping to find by drilling through the two miles of ice that have kept the waters of Antarctica's Lake Ellsworth isolated and undisturbed for 50,000 years are the same kind of life forms scientists think could exist on the Jovian moon Europa. So, essentially, they are looking for space aliens on the South Pole. That is awesome. I bet they look like that thing on the cover of the first Sigur Ros album.
