"Mediocre service with unnecessary complications"
Booked this on Hotels.com. Specifically asked about shuttle arrangements from the airport and was told to "call when I arrived". Naturally, when I called from the airport, Ramada told me I needed to make a shuttle reservation 24 hours in advance... really?? Took the cab to the hotel, only to find out that both shuttles (yes, they have 2 vehicles) were […] sitting in front. Pretty dismal customer service, especially for 4 people we had. This set the mood for the whole stay, although the rest was fairly decent. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
For the cost of the room and the location, this is nowhere near what you can get for the same price within the downtown Salt Lake City area.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

"Best bed ever!"
I have to say the mattress we slept on was probably better then the one i have at home! Great room, quiet, and close to many restaurants and a short drive to down town. It is right off a major highway which made it super easy to find. the breakfast was well laid out. You can make your waffles! what else could you ask for haha...Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

"Smelled of bug spray, toilet ran constantly"
Room smelled of strong, recent bug spray. Figured that was better than bed bugs. Also, the toilet ran constantly. I spoke to the desk clerk who said it would be taken care of, but it wasn't. Not only an annoying noise while trying to sleep, but a waste of water. Old battered furniture, no microwave in the room.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
"This hotel is tired"
The entire property is tired. I have stayed in much better, more modern and less "used" for the same price or less, often. The parking lot is tight and sketchy at best. The comforter was so lumpy it was essentially a sheet. The walls were so thin, I could hear the guy next door brushing his teeth. There were only 3 plugs in the room and all occupied. […] The layout is strange as well. It is almost two buildings and the signs for the room numbers near the lobby don't reflect the rooms at the other end of the property. Lugged my stuff up the stairs (the elevators are at the other end of the property from the lobby...), couldn't find a sign with my room number, went all the way back down for the front desk attendant to tell me where it was like I was an idiot. Drive a little further and get a better hotel for the same price. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

"Close to downtown, close to ski resort freeway"
I would rate the room good for the price. The free breakfast was better than some, as good as most... Hotel has a small but sufficient exercise room. We did not try the pool/spa.

Everything is good except some staff's attitude. Some staff is good, but some staff is cold.Отзыв реального пользователя Expedia
Этот гость не оставил комментария.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
Paid a five star price for a VERY 'low-quality room'. The couch in our suite needed a steam cleaner treament. The furniture was out of date and arranged in a way that didn't make any sense. We had to move our microwave and coffee pot across the room, in order to utilize the plug-in's; otherwise we would have had to unplug the tv, fridge or lamps. Our […] suite was located right above the entrance down stairs. All throughout the night we were woken up with people coming and going because the door was heavy and loud, and the stair case echoed every foot step. Other than the arms of the couch being dirty, the room was very clean...that is the only reason we stayed. Breakfast wasn't very impressive. They should have included either a fresh or hot selection. The next night we stayed at a hotel a few miles north, #Howard Johnson#. We paid a 1/3 of the price and received a good quality room; no interruptions through out the night, and breakfast included fresh fruits and sweet pastries. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Expedia
"Quite disappointing"
We called early in the day when we were due to check in to request a nonsmoking room with two queen beds. When we arrived they gave us a room which had been a smoking room previously and it really didn't smell good. Unfortunately, there were no other rooms available with two queens. In our room, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls and was patched […] in some places, the comforters were really lumpy (laundered incorrectly? Poor quality to begin with?). The furniture was dated particle board. The carpet had stains. The pool was dirty - brown streaks across the bottom and serious grime on the upper walls of the pool just above the water line. The hot tub had lots of debris in the bottom of it (maybe the cement on the floor was crumbling?). On a positive note, the beds were comfortable, the staff members were very nice and the breakfast was plentiful with a fair amount of variety. It looked like they were doing some remodeling. Maybe things will be better! I've stayed in many 2 and 2.5 star hotels. I'd say this is a 1.5 star hotel at the most. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Expedia
Отвечает Ramada Limited Salt Lake City Utah Thank you for taking the time in your review of our hotel. I apologize your experience did not meet your or our expectations. We have many plans looking to the present and future projects. Within just these last 2 weeks we have installed new carpet in our lobby area. Also replaced carpet in 2 of our former smoking rooms. On the whole I feel we do offer a great location, many amenities and service that make for a great value. A Great expanded continental breakfast with hot waffles - we've just added boiled eggs and gluten free bread too! The indoor pool/spa are great, especially going into the ski season. You mention some issues in that area, I've spoken with our maintenance techs and asked them to take some additional time and really go through the area and ensure it is looking the best that we can. We have free shuttle service that is based on availability from 7a-10p that we request 24hr advance reservation for. Small fitness room and free wi-fi. So I hope that these aspects appeal to you and that you would be willing to stop by and give us another chance to earn your business.
"Over rated!"
Looks better on pictures than in actuality. Found someone else's hair in clean towels and on bed sheets. This "motel" needs renovation and upgrades. Next time will stay in hotels closer to down town.Отзыв реального пользователя Expedia
Отвечает Ramada Limited Salt Lake City Utah Thank you for your review. You mention staying at a hotel closer to downtown, I feel our location is in many respects better than some of the downtown locations. We're just 3-4 miles south of downtown proper. Much better priced. Away from too much of the traffic and congestion. An easy 15 minutes from the airport (and free shuttle - restrictions apply). Just East of us about 25 minutes is Park City, great for skiiers and also home of the Sundance Film Festival. South of us are many commercial attractions, Scheels, Cabela's, Thanksgiving Point with one of the world's largest dinosaur museums, IMAX theater, and Gardens. Furthermore, there is many developments right close to our area that are coming together and will be making our location even more appealing. Just north of us a streetcar is being placed going East/West from the light rail TRAX station into the Sugarhouse shopping area. We're working to make many strides and improvements to meet our goal of having every guest that stays with us want to return again and again. We hope you will too.
"Needing a room"
it was an average stay, the clerk was somewhat Prejudice, your shower was nice.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
The hotel said it had been recently remodeled but that did not seem to be true at all. The tile was cracked, paint was chipped, and the carpet was stained. Our sink in our room wouldn't drain and our tv wouldn't let us change the channel. Overall I was very disappointed in this hotel.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

"Barely Adequate"
There was one sheet and a thin blanket on the bed. The pillows were very lumpy. The air conditioning didn't work, and the sink was clogged. I was only there for one night thankfully, but it was bare bones at best. I chose it because it was right off the interstate, and I was driving through town.Отзыв реального пользователя Expedia
Отвечает Ramada Limited Salt Lake City Utah I apologize we did not meet our goal of "having every guest that stays with us want to return again and again" with your specific stay. I'd like to address each of your issues that everyone can know our product. The bedding: We provide a "three sheet" bedding method. The bed has a fitted sheet, flat sheet, blanket or comforter, and a pin stripe top sheet. We are more than happy to provide additional blankets if they are needed. Pillows: we provide 4 pillows for our Queen beds and 6 pillows for our King beds. Maintenance Issues - A/C, sink drain: these issues can surface, We have PM (preventative maintenance) schedule of checking our rooms throughout the year, I'm sorry these items can come up at times between our inspections. Please at any time, if you are unhappy with the facilities, let us know at the front desk. Again we WANT you to have an enjoyable stay and hope that our accommodations meet your travelling needs
"not good"
Dirty Dirty Dirty. I would not recommend it there is no reason for a motel to be that dirtyОтзыв реального пользователя Expedia
Отвечает Ramada Limited Salt Lake City Utah Thank you for your time in writing your Expedia review. The main of the review states that the hotel is dirty. We have a long standing staff that works hard to keep our hotel inviting and comfortable for all of our guests. Our internal survey system that proactively requests feedback from our customers is currently at 8.05 for "cleanliness of guest room" and 8.12 for "cleanliness of bathroom" (as of 10/25/12). This is on a 10 point scale, and of course we actively try and improve on a daily basis, but an 8 out of 10 is fairly high marks. If you have additional specific information about your stay, I encourage you to contact us that we can hopefully address any issues you may have.
"Traveler's worst nightmare"
The only reason you should stay at this hotel is out of sheer necessity. The television remote control didn't work properly. It was difficult to turn the TV on or change the channel...The hotel's wifi didn't work at all...the beds are uncomfortable...the rooms are dirty....the hallways smell bad...and the showers aren't hot.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
"ash tray"
They told me it was a non-smoking room but when I first entered the room it was as though I had walked into an ash tray of old cigars. I had to get a can of air freshener to atleast get through the night. While checking out I noticed a sign that said they had just recently become a non smoking hotel. I think they missed inspecting a floor.Отзыв реального пользователя Expedia
Отвечает Ramada Limited Salt Lake City Utah Thank you for submitting your review. Yes we have gone entirely non-smoking earlier this year. It can be a process in having these rooms turned to non-smoking.. We've shampooed carpets, replaced carpets in some, replaced drapes, and more. We use an ionizer that can replace the "smoking air" with new air that has been effective. Know that we care about your concerns and work towards getting them resolved.
"friendly staff, rundown and smelly rooms."

"Bed bugs"
A huge feeling and need for scratching my head awoke me at around 2:15 am and could not go back to sleep for another 2 hours due to this. At around 3 am, I called the reception and told them what had happened insisting that they should check the pillows and bed in the morning because I think they might have a bed bugs problem. All I heard from the reception […] was that "it is weird because we have never experienced this problem before on any room" (obviously they will not confess if they did have a bed bugs problem before). The overall cleanliness looked decent, but I think this hotel is a 2 star at best, not a 2.5 or 3 star. I will definitely not go back to this hotel due to what I experienced.

"Not what I thought it would be."
When I saw the price for the hotel, I was pleased. But the location of the hotel was not great, neither was the actually hotel itself. It just had a very cheap, dirty feel to it. I did not feel safe or comfortable here. The staff member assisting us had trouble checking us in and checking us out, and had to call other people to help figure out what […] to do. We had wanted to swim and sit in the hot tub, but the pool smelled so strongly of chlorine that I didn't want to get it. The hot tub was lukewarm and looked extremely dirty.

"Good Option for SLC When Attending Events"
Stayed at Ramada Limited SLC in August for 2011 Outdoor Retailer Show. OR Show was dowtown at Salt Palace Convention Center. Straight shot down State Street and over for easy access to show. Much better rates here than downtown hotels and 10-minute drive was no problem. Hotel in decent shape. Front desk staff friendly and capable. Tasty complimentary […] continental breakfast with plenty of options. Heard some traffic noise, as our room was next to highway. Will request other side of building in future. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Expedia
We were very disappointed in the service. The room was clean and in a good location (right next to interstate and we were traveling thru). About 5:30 a.m. the people above us were running water and it started coming up the drain of our bathroom sink and flooded the bathroom. We called the front desk to report the problem and they told us to just throw […] towels on the floor to absorb it. They only had 1 person at the front desk and couldn't leave to see if they could resolve the flood. When we checked out at 6:05 there were two women at the front desk and when we had called we talked to a man. Also the TV would not switch channels - we were stuck on TV Land - good thing we were just wanting to sleep there! Basically because of the flooded bathroom we weren't able to use the bathroom facilities and were very disappointed in the hotels response. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
"Never again"
It's hard to believe that expedia gave the customer rating of a 4. This hotel was dated and in need of a huge remodel. The neighborhhood was not in a good part of town, but convenient to the sugarhouse area which is why I choose it. Even the lower price was too much to pay for this place. They need to lower their rates. I spent as much money there as […] I would have spent on a nicer place. The staff was overworked and on a skeleton crew. They only thing I can say is the room was relatively clean. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Expedia

Read the introduction (in PDF)
"You can't understand the history of American thought without this critically important volume."— John Podhoretz
"Here is the first generation of American conservative intellectuals, in all their uncomfortable glory; prickly, quirky, unclubbably aristocratic and as individual a the idiosyncratic philosophies they espoused. Compassionate conservatives they most definitely weren't, and their angry anti-modernism has not yet lost its power to startle and provoke. For those short-sighted youngsters who think conservatism started with Ronald Reagan or Barry Goldwater—or even Bill Buckley—this admirably edited collection will supply a swift kick in the preconceptions."— Terry Teachout
"Theirs was a DIFFERENT conservatism, principled and void of odious pragmatism. Now you can read the works that helped lay the foundation for today's emphasis on limited government, private property, economic decentralization, and traditional American federalism . . ."— Conservative Book Club
"This book has variety enough of authors and points of view to please no one, if the reader is looking for an agreeable few hours of innocent pleasure. On the other hand, if you can tolerate varying opinions and enjoy statements that are clearly written though not of your persuasion, you might find the book a delight."— The St. Croix Review

Posted 10 October 2012 - 12:11 PM
Someone told me about the men's forum - which is a great thing, along with the other survivor communities. Not knowing it was a subset of something else, however, I had trouble finding it. If it had not been mentioned to me, I would not have been looking for it, and would not have discovered it for a long time.
My suggestion is minor -
Bold the fonts of the various survivor communities - women's, men's, etc. so that they appear to also be titles and stand out.
Anyway, thank you again for all you do...

I'm not actually sure off the top of my head if we are able to change the manner in which the font for the various sub-forums around the place shows up on the board as we use a type of messageboard software and it is not custom built for us, but will investigate this weekend.

To fulfil our roles, the Ministry must be efficient and continually improving. The objective is to ensure the outcomes in the Statement of Intent are reflected in, and drive, the organisation's structure, systems and processes, priorities, capability development, and investment decisions.
The Ministry has established seven measures to assess progress and success in maintaining organisation health and capability:
Establish a single database for external contacts.
A nationwide fisheries stakeholder contacts management system has been established and is available for use for all Ministry consultation and stakeholder contacts.
Establish a new Risk Advisory Group to build on the role of the current Organisational Risk Management Committee.
As part of Ministry governance, a Risk Assurance Advisory Group has been established and is now operational.
Enhance the Status of Fisheries section of our website and NABIS site with latest available fisheries information.
Continued progress has been made on the redevelopment of the New Zealand fisheries website. The site is the main source of material about New Zealand fisheries management and contains information by species and individual fish stock, including catch rates, sustainability levels and value, and sector perspectives, along with information on current and past consultation documents.
Complete the investment in our education website content, www.starfish.govt.nz
A new resource for teachers and students in years 7–10, designed to fit the New Zealand Curriculum Framework, was launched in July 2008. It includes a hard-copy Starfish resource kit for schools and links to an online version. The resource was augmented in March 2009 by the addition of an extra topic.
A new Human Resource Information System (HRIS).
This system contains several distinct modules. During 2008/09, the Ministry implemented the performance and development module, including HRIS support for talent management and staff capability development frameworks. Human Resources data dating back to 1 July 2004 has been input into the system, in part as preparation for formal reporting processes.
Further modules, including payroll and training management, recruitment, and health and safety will be implemented in 2009/10.
Analyse the results of the Gallup engagement survey with staff.
The staff responses from the previous Gallup engagement survey have been analysed and the results conveyed to staff. Initial action plans to resolve issues raised by staff have been developed and implemented.
A follow-up on these action plans is scheduled for the first quarter of 2009/10. This will follow the Ministry decisions on the Organisation Design Review taken in June 2009.
A further Gallup survey is planned during the 2009/10 financial year.
Develop measures to monitor our performance in achieving State Sector development goals.
Measures used to monitor performance have been included in the 2009/2014 Statement of Intent, and will continue to be reflected in future SOIs.
Progress is being made, but in large measure the rate of progress will depend on how quickly the Ministry can bed down the organisation design changes.

And they're supposed to be Punk. This is Punk sexy without skin, and young without feeling pervy, and a little bit trashy because that's the spirit. Full Story

But first -- check her out last night at the Mad Men Season 6 premiere. Hate this dress. If it were all black it may be different. But the white and baby blue here is like eye shadow on a bride. And GROSS shoes. Jones, as you know, has recently been in the news for allegedly riding up on Liam Hemsworth at an Oscar party and since then he and Miley Cyrus may or may not have called off their engagement or are getting back together or never broke up. Full Story
Liam won't talk Miley in Manila
Here's Liam Hemsworth arriving in Manila today as brand ambassador for Bench. Journalists were held to pre-selected questions and given strict instructions not to ask personal questions. It's his first official public appearance since all the speculation started about whether or not he stepped out on Miley Cyrus with January Jones and hit on Emma Watson. Full Story
Of course, let's blame Miley now
It's been rough for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth since he allegedly made out with January Jones and flirted aggressively with Emma Watson on Oscar weekend. Although she sort of suggested on Twitter that she didn't believe the rumours, she also stepped out on a couple of occasions without her ring, and he's in Australia now spending time with friends and family -- not exactly the most convincing demonstration of togetherness. Full Story
Miley Still Without Her Ring
For the second time in as many days, Miley's been spotted out in LA without her engagement ring -- click here for photos. With Liam away in Australia without a set return date, as confirmed by PEOPLE Full Story
On Miley & Liam
Anthony /PacificCoastNews.com
Miley Cyrus stepped out with blue hair she calls platinum the other day after it was widely rumoured last week that fiancé Liam Hemsworth was cheating on her with January Jones. I'm not saying Liam isn't... But that story wasn't sourced. That story originated because the paps were standing outside a party and shot them getting into a car together. Full Story
20 Year Old Hair Vows
E! interviewed Miley Cyrus the other day, in service of what I'm not sure as her new album isn't ready and I don't remember there being a movie coming out. So I guess she was promoting...her hair? She was asked about her hair, and how it's so short now, and why she cut it, and how long she's keeping it for, and how much she loves it: "I feel like I had bun every day of my life. Full Story
Miley Cyrus is a Diva?
Christopher Polk /Getty Images, FayesVision /WENN
How long has this VH1 Divas event been going on for? A while. Many years. So many years, they've run out of divas and are now attempting to change the definition of the word, both in pure form and its pop culture interpretation. It was once Whitney and Mimi and Faith Hill and actual legends in the business. Full Story
VMAs Unfortunate Matching Hairstyles
Wenn, Kevin Winter/ Christopher Polk/ Getty
I'm into whatever Miley Cyrus is selling these days. Engaged? Sure. Sassy new haircut that somehow reverberated around the world? All over it. I had to look up what she's actually working on right now – but that in itself isn't a bad thing. I don't understand why she had to stifle The Haircut though – like, isn't one of the points of a short haircut that you can kind of dress it up or down? I was sort of looking forward to seeing those sassy pieces flopping all over the place – kind of a Chelsea cut that didn't take itself too seriously. Full Story
Miley's rite of passage
Breaking... Miley Cyrus cut her hair. Drastically. It was a trending topic worldwide on Twitter yesterday, largely encouraged by Miley herself who first posted the before and after shots, and is continuing to post photos from every angle, much like we all do when we have our makeup done, or our hair styled, and can't stop looking in the mirror -- only our mirrors don't talk back; her mirror is an online audience that can and will throw sh-t back in the reflection. Full Story
God they are hot - with video
Sasha and I email several times a week, at least, about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. Like 15 year old squealers. Only we're supposed to be proper adults. But it's been a while since we've been able to replace our young couple obsession after Chris Brown beat the sh-t out of Rihanna. Full Story
The ring travels
Fame/Flynet, INF
Miley Cyrus was photographed at LAX today. Needless to say, they were all focusing on a shot of her engagement ring. She obliged. Not sure where she's heading... Maybe New Orleans? Liam Hemsworth is filming there. And Emma Roberts is co-starring. And, well, there's something about that Roberts girl, don't you think? E! News Full Story
Liam & the ring
Deano /Breedo /Splash
PEOPLE broke the story of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's engagement this morning. They also have exclusive details about the ring. Click here to read about how many carats and how it was cut etc etc etc. Full Story

Florist Sues Washington AG Over Religious Freedom Violations
by Bethany MonkA Washington florist facing a lawsuit for declining to contribute her talents for a same-sex wedding ceremony filed a countersuit against state Attorney General Bob Ferguson Tuesday.
Barronelle Stutzman owns Arlene's Flowers in Richland. For years, she has served and employed several people who identify as homosexual. For nine years, she designed floral arrangements for customer Robert Ingersoll, who is openly gay. All was well — until he asked her to create an arrangement for his wedding.
"Everyone knows that plenty of florists are willing to assist in same-sex ceremonies, so the state has no reason to force Barronelle to violate her deeply held beliefs," said Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Legal Counsel Dale Schowengerdt. "In America, the government is supposed to protect freedom, not use its intolerance for certain viewpoints to intimidate citizens into acting contrary to their faith convictions."

To assert the good guy always wins is, of course, a lie. There are plenty of examples of murder and mayhem in that compendium of stories we call the Bible. In some stories the good guy wins. In others, they lose; particularly those who choose the way of non-violent resistance unequivocally taught and demonstrated in the words and deeds of the Galilean sage and healer. It's not a matter of a showdown to see who wins with a more forceful argument. Far from naïve, impractical and unrealistic, a non-violent response may be the only thing to break the perpetual cycle of violence. But how?

Ours is a pluralistic age in which we have many different and opposing – even sometimes mutually incompatible — worldviews that threaten planetary human coexistence. In the midst of such chaos and confusion, how can we tolerate each other's differences? Or, some might ask, should we even try? I consider myself a very tolerant person!

What would constitute a forbearance of principled intolerance, with a leniency of spirit? Here's John Bennison's latest Commentary from Words and Ways.

It seems international good sportsmanship inside the stadium can only be assured by heavy security on the outside; where unruly competing self-interests would seek to turn winning at all cost into a blood sport. The previous Words & Ways commentary explored a foolish kind of wisdom once espoused by a Galilean sage through his teaching, the parables he told, and even the seeming absurdity found in his miracles (see "The Foolishness of Jesus"). It is this same Jesus tradition that also proposes such counter-cultural notions that one can "win by losing," and "the last shall be first." Here's John Bennison's latest commentary from Words & Ways.

Got another 'Let's Play' series under-way for Beta 3.
The Playlist will be here...
Fallen Enchantress Beta 3
and the first video is here...
Hope you enjoy it.
Episode 2 is uploading now but may be an hour or two away.
Seanw3 has also posted a video about Beta 3... http://forums.elementalgame.com/422541
Seanw3 goes into a lot of detail about the new mechanics and has a better understanding than me of how things work so recommend you check that one out.
Critical beta feedback from this first episode is quite minimal.
Enjoying the game very much.
Feedback on episode 2:
Thanks for the honorable mention. I am hard at work making a test example of how I would like armor to work. Expect a few more videos by Monday.
I probably shouldn't say this but...
I'm fortunate enough to have a movie theater here in my house. And my kids love to watch your Let's play series in teh theater.
And I don't mean just FE. They've watched your Crusader Kings 2 videos and Distant Worlds ones too. It's quite a different experience to see it on a movie screen.
I'll put in a special 'hello' to them. I'm a few episodes ahead with recording so I'll put that in episode 5.
Really enjoying where you are taking the game, btw. It is going to be awesomely good.
Love your play through's and they're very educational, but I think you should tax your empire with 1 Guildar for every time you say "at this stage" . j/k Keep'em coming!
Ya also want to say loved your Distant World Series Videos! Keep em up.
Always wanted to make a lets play... might try to make the time in the summer (school is crazy).
Feedback on Episode 3:
Cast heal on the troops!
The choice was healing or hitting. Markin does more damage that heal so the decision went with him keeping on striking.
Anyhow, here's episode 4...
Feedback from this episode:
I totally see the choosing damage over healing. I am curious, though, have they removed healing from use on the strategic map? If not, you can abuse that between battles to heal your troops.
Oh, and keep em coming, thought this would be a ho hum game, but since your invasion into Kraxis territory, I am anxiously awaiting the next episode!
Here's episode 5.
Episode 6:
Beta testing feedback:
Hey Das -
Are we going to see any more of this series?
I've got a few more recorded but they are now from a couple of beta versions ago. I've been thinking of starting again with a new series using 0.913 when it becomes available.

Firefighter's cooking passion leads to Food Network
David "Dewey" Atkocaitis was selected out of thousands of applicants to be featured cooking with Sunny Anderson on the Food Network. | Contributed photo

Blog: firehousechefdew.com
Twitter: twitter.com/dewthedc
Updated: December 2, 2012 6:41AM
RIVER GROVE — All the years David "Dewey" Atkocaitis has been cooking have paid off.
A full-time Northlake firefighter and part-time deputy fire chief in River Grove, Atkocaitis was selected out of thousands of applicants to be featured cooking with Sunny Anderson on the Food Network.
Atkocaitis watched his father cook growing up, and so, he took an interest.
"It just progressed when I got to the fire department," Atkocaitis said. "I started cooking all the time and it just became a passion."
This led him to appearing on daytime's "Regis and Kelly" for a cooking contest two years ago. After that, he appeared in a local food show called "Feeding the Fire." These events led him to the opportunity with Sunny Anderson and the Food Network.
Atkocaitis saw Food Network was looking for a home cook in an Internet posting. He sent the network an e-mail telling them about himself, and two days later, they called him, asking some more questions.
"I hadn't heard from them in months after that," he said. "Then out of the blue I got an e-mail saying they were looking to start filming and feature me on the show."
Anderson came to the River Grove firehouse to film the show on Sept. 6. Atkocaitis and Anderson cooked buffalo chicken lasagna and southwestern vegetable coleslaw. They filmed for almost 12 hours, which was edited down to a 15-minute segment. The segment was scheduled for airing Oct. 27.
"Home Made in America with Sunny Anderson" airs Saturdays on Food Network at 9:30 a.m., 8:30 a.m. Central.
Since filming the show, Atkocaitis has started a cooking blog. On average, he gets about 5,000 viewers a week. He was selected along with 20 other food bloggers to Cook Along with Emeril Lagasse. This means Atkocaitis cooks foods from Lagasse's new cook book and posts about it on his blog.
"One day, I got an e-mail saying that Emeril was following me on Twitter," he said. "I told him I was a big fan of his. Then he replied, 'I'm quickly becoming a big fan of yours.'"
Lagasse also featured Atkocaitis' Capri sandwich on his Facebook page.
Atkocaitis will continue food blogging and cooking for his family. He hopes one day he will land his own cooking show. Most of all, he will continue cooking for his fellow firefighters.

C&W's response to the Government's TIFs announcement today9 Dec, 2009, London
Cushman & Wakefield's response to the Government's announcement today on TIFs in the
pre-budget report:
Alistair Parker, regeneration & development partner, Cushman & Wakefield: "Today's single sentence in the Chancellor's Pre Budget Report noting that Government would think a bit more about tax increment financing was disappointing in the light of the expectations raised by Minister John Healey's letter back in May inviting all local authorities to put forward possible TiF pilot schemes to unlock stalled regeneration. "Indeed today's vague announcement might be contrasted with this Government's detailed TiF thinking set out in their Green Paper ' Modernising Local Government Finance' (September 2000) and the subsequent November 2000 PBR which confirmed intention to consult on "tax increment financing, to allow local authorities to retain and invest some of the additional local tax revenue resulting from successful regeneration". After nine years of consideration and consultation, one wonders what aspects of TiF the Treasury has yet to explore. "What is also particularly disappointing is the Treasury's apparent failure to understand the 'pay as you go' TiF variant which uses private capital to fund infrastructure without any reliance on public revenue guarentees. Even more importantly, it's a variant that doesn't require the new 'primary legislation' that would be needed for TiF formats that would essentially rely on the public purse. Given that TiF rests on the mantra 'no new tax, no lost tax', it seems an immediate and obvious solution in the present fiscal climate to the urgent urban regeneration problem facing our towns and cities. After a decade of thought, isn't time the Government did something that would make the difference on the required scale?"

This time last year, there was cautious optimism among Saad's family members. It seemed possible the political instability and violence that plagued Iraq might ebb. In its place, Saad's family hoped a safer, more stable Iraq would emerge.
Today, at Saad's all-male high school in central Baghdad, talk routinely centers on the latest bombing or bubbling sectarian tensions -- Sunni versus Shiite, Arab versus Kurd. There are concerns, Saad said, about the possible return of al Qaeda in Iraq, a group of primarily Sunni extremists bent on reigniting sectarianism. The latest political crisis is split along sectarian lines and has raised fears that political strife could translate into violence on the streets.
Even with a dramatic decline in violence in Iraq from the height of the war, bombings and gun battles remain a near-daily occurrence. A car bomb killed Saad's best friend, and he's no longer allowed to walk to school. His father drives him instead.
Saad has vowed after graduating high school, he will leave Iraq. For good.
"Sometimes," Saad said, "I ask myself why God did not create me in another country."
'I don't think ... I really understood it'
U.S. Army Spec. Brittany Hampton looked out the window of the armored vehicle as it rolled down the highway.
Somehow, it was fitting that the 22-year-old woman who had seen her father off for the start of the Iraq war almost nine years earlier would be among the very last soldiers in the very last vehicle in the very last convoy to leave the country.
"I don't think that day I really understood it," she said nearly a year later.
Hampton, a medic, knew crossing from Iraq into Kuwait meant the end of the war for her and her fellow soldiers. But the historic nature of the moment hit her months later, when she was standing in front of the vehicle nicknamed "Praetorian 7" for the elite Roman guard unit that once protected Roman emperors.

roughing it.
happy friday readers! i am actually taking the day off today. i'm up in sonoma county with my family celebrating my mum's birthday. we're staying in a great house, it even has an airstream in the backyard, which is where i'll be sleeping tonight. i think it'll be a little like camping — fun! so, today, i thought i'd share a few more ideas for relaxing and roughing it — decorating with vintage cots. add some cozy throws and pillows and you've got a great place to curl up with a good book or have a lazy afternoon nap. we have one from elsie green at makeshift society in the loft, and you can often find someone nodding off up there. you can find them all over — from army/navy surplus stores, to etsy and ebay. have a great weekend everyone and i'll be back on monday!
i could live here: art at the convent.
ciao, si from the french by design blog here. today, we're visiting a 13th-century-old franciscan convent in brianza, lombardy region, italy, brilliantly renovated as an artist's home and studio.
in this 13th century brianza franciscan convent, partially destroyed during WW2, lives architect and painter marco grassi. marco, who curated himself the renovation project, has kept most of the original internal structure such as the ceiling beams and part of the original brick walls. in marco's gorgeous home, vintage, design, paintings and sculptures co-exist in harmony, giving the space a unique character.

Tucked in the southwest side of Chicago is the charming shop, Yearbook. Store owners, Jef & Noel, have created a unique collection of academic paraphernalia mixed with essential home goods. It's almost like they walked into the movie set Dead Poets Society and took all the beautiful props. It's meticulously merchandised in a way that you can't help but be inspired to decorate your home with one of their products. I personally fell in love with their vintage collegiate selection. The framed yale flag, school house chairs, jacket pins, trophies…I wanted it all!
what's one of your favorite shops that has inspired you lately?

you say rug, i say Boucherouite.
today, over on julep i'm blogging about a lovely new trend i've been seeing everywhere, beautiful Boucherouite rugs made in morocco. Boucherouite means "rag" in Moroccan Arabic and are often simply just called 'Berber'. no one Boucherouite rug is alike and their colors range from sublimely subdued to courageously bold and colorful. i recently added a few to my living room and love the amount of vibrance they add to a once very black and white palette. you can find them all over — in shops like beldi and love adorned, beklina, and even Etsy shops like Bring Your Own Sunshine. Washable and not out of this world expensive, the Boucherouite is becoming a fast favorite. to see more of these lovely rugs, check out my post on julep.
home in copenhagen, via french by design
the apartment (above and below).
hello again! today i bring you a pink wall, and a stunning gold panel at casa barragán in mexico city - the former home of mexican architect luis barragán:
this space is almost perfect, but i just want to pop in and add one more little golden touch to this gorgeous alcove:
oh. the amazing portraits (mixed media on wood panel) by german artist tilo uischner. i love that the wood compliments the desk & chair, and i really love the idea of mimicking the square of the golden panel. i would hang just one of these pieces perfectly centered on that lower wall – but how on earth would i ever choose?! uh oh. and now i'm going to make things even more difficult for myself:
gah! the latest work from canadian artist ben skinner. 24k gold leaf and black enamel, on glass mounted to mdf. that slinky. those elastic bands. or maybe that tape measurer as an ode to the architect who lived here. i don't know – i love them alllllll! again, i only want one piece in that space so i'm kinda breaking my own heart. why would i do that to myself? and why on earth would i do it 3 times?! yep, here i go again:
blurry, vintage, saturated portraits by american artist nathan ritterpusch. all of these are from a series titled "old enough to be my mother", but i would definitely choose the top most painting for this space – or the bottom most painting – or one of those other two. geesh. ~ danielle (aka the jealous curator)

I "like" "Photo details"
We have found that Best of was not really defining the concept behind it. Ideally Best of should apply for a unique situation for a very small subset of the photos. However, we discovered that several users use the Best of flag to mark many photos that they like. So we have decided to re-brand Best of as like. To make it more useful, Like not only comes with a nicer icon right under the photo, but we included the total number of likes in the Photo details section. Have you changed your mind? You don't like a photo anymore? No problem. You can revoke your previous likes any time in the future.
But wait! There are more changes in the Photo details section.
We know that numbers and statistics are important for you. Previously we used to show only one counter, the number of views on Panoramio for each photo. We are happy to announce that today, we are adding three more numbers for each photo:
views on Google Earth: This number shows the number of times a bubble has been opened in Google Earth with your photo. We have looked back for a year, and initialized all these counters based on those bubble openings. Note, that this counter is only updated daily.
favorites: This number shows how many members of the Panoramio Community selected your photo as favorite by clicking the star icon above the photo.
likes: As described earlier, this counter shows how many people decided to like your photo.
Please check the help content for more info about the counters.
Feel free to discuss the new photo details and the like feature in the Panoramio forum as we are thinking in more numbers to show you and more regarding your photos.

It would also be cool if the number of views via the API was shown.
ReplyDelete - Kevin ChildressJuly 2, 2010 at 12:57 PM
Excellent new feature! Very good step forward.
AustinMN makes a good point.
Nicely done! - guia arquitecturaJuly 3, 2010 at 2:26 AM
Great implemented. I think the stadistics may be grow Panoramio. Now we have 4 counters, but it would be more in future: counter of number of votes, stadistics by month. comparative with other users: rankings...
I'm glad with your work. congratulations. - AnonymousJuly 3, 2010 at 4:10 AM
It is very sensible change in Pano interface...congratulation !!!
But I have additional suggestion:
You could show us, how many people has voted for the photos which take a part in Contest - while when voting last and also show this quantity of votes for the winner photos...
What do You think ?
It should be quite easy now to realize ? - millotaurusJuly 3, 2010 at 12:06 PM
What do You think about publishing also the number of votes for photos which takes part in the Contest ?
(my previous comment in this thread died in moderation...interestng why ?...) - labeteJuly 4, 2010 at 1:59 AM
I missed the GE-hits counter, since I`m around at Panoramio. Thank U!
ReplyDelete - MAD majJuly 10, 2010 at 2:48 AM
The change you made on the counters is very interesting and helpful!!! Great idea!!
However, I would prefer to see the total number of views under each picture in my page, instead of just the panoramio views.
I believe (and probably others will agree) that the total number of views is much more representative of the popularity of a picture!! - John McLindenJuly 12, 2010 at 8:37 AM
I agree with MAD maj. It's a nice new feature, but would it be possible to put both the Panoramio and Google Earth viewing counts on the "Your Photos" page as well?

Between releases in the active development cycle, work for MeeGo will run in weekly iterations, producing nightly builds and weekly releases from the Trunk. The resulting build from each iteration is used to track development progress. The diagram below shows the timing for the weekly cycle - unless otherwise noted in the diagram, all times are GMT.
Daily is the repository where the trunk output with the latest changes lands. This is the bleeding edge of development. This repository can be added to images but should be disabled by default.
The preview repository holds a snapshot of the Trunk and is used for the weekly preview and final image preparation. The preview repository is generated on Friday from the Trunk and is frozen until the next snapshot is taken on Tuesday for the final release. Parties working with code that depends on MeeGo, but is not included in it, can use the Friday preview to check the compatibility and fix critical issues for the weekly release.
Preview images created and delivered to QA on Friday are non-official images. They serve to test major changes introduced into the Trunk and to provide a preview of the weekly image. Release Engineers have the discretion to accept, reject, or queue submitted changes after the preview has been finalized. Feedback may be given to ensure the usability of the upcoming weekly releases for the users of MeeGo.
In principle, changes can still go in for the final weekly release, if the changes meet the following criteria:
Integrating new code to Trunk or a release must not break the MeeGo reference images. The reference images represent product categories, SDK, and other configurations that need to be in place for MeeGo to function, development to continue, and products to use MeeGo. MeeGo will provide facilities to help developers test against the different references.
The first level of integration is called Staging, where developers work with the packages in OBS development projects. The package maintainer pushes the project towards the MeeGo :Testing projects. MeeGo will provide an automated testing facility where test cases can be contributed. This will provide results from the different MeeGo references, since in many cases it is not feasible to obtain all the different reference devices.
When test results are of a sufficient standard, the package maintainer pushes his/her code towards the MeeGo :Testing project. These contributions are reviewed by the MeeGo Distribution/Platform maintainers and tested against the current Trunk. If they pass, QA packages are promoted to the Trunk.
Note: Processing of requests containing packages that delve lower in the dependency hierarchy may be postponed (usually done during the weekends). This is due to the fact that processing the said package(s) will trigger a lot of rebuilds and the builders are comparatively idle during the weekends. Here is a sample list of 'special' packages.
Developer Submission Checklist
MeeGo supports a wide range of different categories of products and the release process tries to accommodate the different requirements of each product category. The Release process takes into account the following three aspects of successful product creation:

Hong Kong's Bird Garden
They have live grasshoppers for sale! Where could you go in Hong Kong if you wanted to buy a bag full of juicy, green grasshoppers? Why the Bird Garden in Mong Kok of course! Here shopkeepers charge a tidy sum for an insect many farmers would pay to have someone keep out of their fields. Grasshoppers aren't seen as pests in Hong Kong where birds are people's favorite pets. Grasshoppers of course are the perfect food for birds! Budgies, finches, sparrows and canaries are only a few of the more than one hundred kinds of birds people keep in their apartments in Hong Kong. The Chinese believe the presence of birds in your home makes your wishes come true. Stand quietly in the hallways of most apartment buildings in Hong Kong and you are likely to hear bird songs coming from behind the closed doors around you. The average apartment in Hong Kong is less than 500 square feet. In such limited space a bird is one of the best pets to have.
Naturally all these birds need to eat and in the Bird Garden, located near the Mongkok KCR station, there are a hundred shops specializing in bird food. Not only live grasshoppers are for sale however. You can also buy jars of chirping crickets and scoops full of writhing worms. And how do you feed these delicious treats to your pet? Why with chopsticks of course! They are the perfect tools for passing little creatures through the bars of a bird cage into the open mouth of your feathered friend.
The shops in the Bird Garden don't only sell food though. They also market a whole variety of birds. People don't seem to mind spending $800 for a singing pet. The hand crafted bamboo cages in the Bird Garden shops are expensive too. Naturally a birdcage must be well furnished so swings and beautifully painted food and water dishes are also for sale. It is a matter of some pride for owners to provide a nicely decorated place for their bird to live.
First time visitors to Hong Kong might be surprised to see people taking their birds for a walk. Particularly on the weekends there are many older men strolling down the streets with a birdcage in their hand. If you visit a small village area in the New Territories on a Sunday morning you're bound to come upon an outdoor restaurant filled with bird lovers. Dozens of cages will be suspended from special rods around the courtyard. You'll see elderly men sitting at the tables drinking tea, smoking and playing mahjong. A few will no doubt be standing under the bird cages, hands behind their backs, looking critically at the chirping pets on display.
As you enter the Bird Garden at Mong Kok you will see many groups of senior citizens visiting and examining each other's birds. This is a very popular pastime especially for retired gentlemen in Hong Kong. They tell their wives they are taking their birds out for a walk and then they get together in the Bird Park to socialize. Apparently a great deal of bird comparing goes on as well. Who has the pet with the most colorful feathers and the most beautiful voice?
Birds have been part of Chinese culture for a long time. Have you heard of Hans Christian Anderson's tale The Emperor and the Nightingale? It is the story of a Chinese emperor who is inspired by the beautiful songs of a nightingale bird in his garden. When the emperor of Japan gives him a wind-up mechanical nightingale as a gift he comes to love it more than the real nightingale. However the artificial bird breaks down after awhile and the emperor grows sad without the beautiful songs of a nightingale bird in his life. He soon is so depressed and weak that everyone is sure he will die. It is only when the real nightingale returns once again to sing to him that he regains his health and happiness.
Perhaps because of this famous story birds have often been associated with royalty and the rich in China. That is why when the Communists took over China they encouraged people to get rid of their pet birds. The Communists replaced the emperors and wanted the poor people of China to rule the country. Anything associated with those who were wealthy or royal was considered bad. However since Hong Kong only became part of China in 1997 and was ruled by the British till then, birds were not considered a bad thing there and people could still own them for pets and enjoy their lovely songs.
We can be glad there are so many birds in Hong Kong! On streets where you can hear the noise from hundreds of rumbling trains, thousands of cell phones, and millions of people chattering away in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, the song of birds is a welcome and lovely diversion. The birds of Hong Kong are part of what makes the city a charming and fascinating place to live.
