My personal beliefs:
1. All guns always need care. There is no "set and forget" with guns.
2. All paint, even the most "technical," eventually wears off.
3. Good-quality Parkerizing is as ugly as sin, but offers excellent protection against rust.
4. Good-quality blue, applied over properly polished steel, looks the best. Well, maybe color case-hardening looks even better.
5. Forged stainless steel is usually an excellent gunmaking material, but cast stainless steel usually isn't.
6. Aluminum weighs less than steel, but beware if you wear off its anodized coating. It will turn very ugly.
7. Nickle plate usually eventually flakes off, but "hard chrome" usually doesn't. But my sweat eats even "hard chrome."
8. Bright chrome plating belongs only on the interior of barrels.
Mostly, the choices you name are matters of æsthetics, not function.

Green Bay Women Dominate Season Opener at Wright State
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
DAYTON, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay swimming and diving teams opened their 2013-14 seasons on Thursday evening, taking on Wright State in a Horizon League dual meet at the WSU Natatorium. The Phoenix won 10 of the meet's 13 events on the women's side to cruise to 168-73 victory, while the host Raiders claimed the men's competition 161-82.
Senior sprinter Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) was a part of three wins for the Green Bay women, taking both the 50-yard (24.53) and 100-yard freestyle (54.41) races before anchoring the winning 400 free relay team (3:36.39) in the meet's final event. Joining Wolf on the winning relay squad were freshmen Natalie Neuwirth (Stevens Point, Wis.) and Claire Walters (Northfield, Minn.), and sophomore Racheal Weiland (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.).
Neuwirth was also an individual winner in her first collegiate meet, racing to a victory in the 200 free (1:55.91). Three other freshmen women recorded wins for the Phoenix on Thursday, as Haley Lucas (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) took the 100 butterfly (58.60), Alyssa Udean (Brooklyn Center, Minn.) won the 500 free and Crystal Franzwa (Winona, Minn.) claimed the 1-meter diving event.
Senior Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) had a strong day on the boards, winning the 3-meter diving competition with a score of 255.90. She also finished a close runner-up to Franzwa on the low board with a total of 234.52.
Sisters Anna Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) and Emily Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) were responsible for Green Bay's other two wins in the season opener. Anna Gomez got things started with a victory in the 1000 free (10:34.45) in the first individual race of the year, and Emily Gomez took home a win in the 100 backstroke (1:00.41).
On the men's side, sophomore diver Tanner Nordlund (Rice, Minn.) was a two-time winner for the Phoenix, taking the 1-meter (268.27) and 3-meter (269.92) boards.
The 2013 Horizon League Newcomer of the Year Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) got his sophomore season started with a win in the 500 free, touching in first at 4:44.93. Green Bay's fourth and final win of the evening came from senior Robert Miner (Madison, Wis.), who took the 100 butterfly in 52.31.
Both Phoenix squads return to action on Friday, taking on Youngstown State at 4 p.m. in Youngstown, Ohio. The meet will be streamed live on the Horizon League Network.#

This summer, researchers from the University of South Carolina and Boston University collected cheek cells of black males in South Carolina, Georgia, Boston and West Africa for DNA testing. They are attempting to link African-Americans, black Carribean people and black Europeans to their ancestral tribes, families and ethnic groups in the West African countries in which the slave trade operated. These countries include Senegal, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Angola. However, the project's leader, Dr. Bruce Jackson of Boston University, says, "Mounting evidence suggests that many slaves came from the interior of Africa and were only brought to these countries on the coast where the slave ships were." To test these theories, the researchers have started the DNA testing and hope to have the first matches within a year.

The AR4 attribution statement
Third, there is certainly a potential for the increase in temperatures due to anthropogenic GHG changes to be greater than the observed trend because we know that there have been both natural (volcanic and solar) and human-caused (reflective aerosols, land use change) factors that are expected to have lead to cooling over the post-1950 period (therefore there is no cut off at 95% of the actual trend). The actual trend will be a function of the warming factors, balanced by the cooling factors. And of the warming factors, the well-mixed greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs) changes are the dominant term (about 75% of the increase in warming factors from 1950, the rest is related to black carbon effects, ozone etc.).
Fourth, the statement clearly encompasses many different estimates of what the actual trends are being driven by and is not therefore a particularly strong conclusion. Myles Allen (Allen, 2011) points out that during the drafting, the text was changed from 'contributed substantially' to 'most', and focused on greenhouse gases rather than the total anthropogenic effect specifically in order to have a more quantitative conclusion and more justifiable statement.
Now let's put some real numbers in here. Attribution is fundamentally a modelling task, and the principal models that can be used are the coupled GCMs – at least to start with. What do they estimate the warming trend from the well-mixed GHGs to have been over the last 50 years? The figure below shows this for some of the GISS CMIP5 models (more model data can be downloaded from CMIP5 portal):
The 50 year trends (here, from 1956 to 2005, 5 ensemble members), are 0.84ºC (range [0.79,0.92]) for just greenhouse gas forcing. and 0.67ºC (range [0.54,0.76]) for the all-forcings case (in CMIP3, the envelope of the all-forcing trends is [0.4,1.3], or equivalently 0.74 +/- 0.22ºC (1 sigma spread) using 55 individual model simulations – the wider spread reflecting structural variations in the models and forcings). As in the more recent model simulations, the GISS CMIP3 50 year trends using only well-mixed GHG forcings is around 0.1ºC more than the 'all-forcing' case (data here).
The actual observed trend depends a little on the dataset used, but is around 0.6 +/- 0.05ºC (1 sigma uncertainty in the OLS fit). If we then estimate the percentage (as illustrated above), assuming a 0.2ºC sigma in the model spread, 'x' is roughly 140% +/- 35% (1 sigma). If we interpreted that range as a Gaussian distribution (not really a good idea, but simple enough for illustration), we'd estimate that P(x<50%) would be less than 1% (even less likely than the IPCC AR4 statement allowed for).

Hi Lucy
This is a wonderful site and very useful, thank you.
I'm a native speaker (British/South African) and I've been teaching conversation for almost two years. I recently got a new job which requires teaching more grammar and I find this very difficult. I usually prepare myself in advance, so that I'm clear on the grammar point in context of the lesson. The problem is, is that my students tend to ask me questions about grammar as they arise in their minds, and I, not wanting to divert from the planned lesson or ignore their questions, get into a mild panic because I don't always have the answers available at the tips of my fingers. I tend to rather teach grammar points by example rather than in a technical way.
Is there any advice you can give me? Would a formal qualification help?
Another thing I find is that my students love grammar when it's in a multiple choice questionnaire and they usually score full marks, but when it comes to using the grammar in conversation they mix it up completely and it's confusing for them.
I sincerely love what I do and I have been quite successful, so I really want to beat this fear I have about teaching grammar.
At the moment I'm teaching from Cambridge's Let's Talk, which is my employer's standard curriculum. What's your professional opinion of this course?
Thank you for your time.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Two North Carolina wrestlers advanced to Sunday action with their performance on Saturday at the first day of the 50th annual Ken Craft Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill.
Sophomore Evan Henderson and freshman Nathan Kraisser were successful in advancing to the second day of the Midlands Championships.
Henderson went 3-1 on the day with his lone setback against No. 4 Mitchell Port of Edinboro. Kraisser suffered a first round loss but was able to reel off four straight wins to earn his chance to wrestle Sunday.
The Tar Heels were able to accumulate 25.5 points on day one to finish 18th after the first day of competition. Illinois holds a half point lead 61.5-61.0 over Virginia Tech for the top spot.
Freshman Nathan Kraisser opened as the No. 7 seed in the 125 pound bracket but dropped his first bout of the day by a narrow 8-5 decision to Patrick Hunter of Binghamton. Kraisser bounced back by winning three straight in the wrestleback bracket.
Kraisser pinned Oregon State's Patrick Rollins in 2:37 before posting an 11-4 decision against Derrick Nelson of Pittsburgh. Kraisser closed out day one with a 12-4 major decision over Thomas Gilman of Iowa and a 6-0 decision against Miguel Comparan of Cal State Bakersfield to advance to Sunday.
Sophomore Evan Henderson opened his Midlands with three straight wins to reach the quarterfinals. Henderson was able to pin Joey Lazor of Northern Iowa in his opening bout before earning a 5-3 decision against Kevin Fanta of Northern Illinois.
A 12-6 decision over Tyler Small of Kent State put Henderson in the quarterfinal round where he faced off against the No. 4 ranked wrestler in the country at 141 in Mitchell Port of Edinboro. Port came out victorious over the fifth-ranked Henderson with a 4-0 decision.
Henderson will open action on Sunday against Wisconsin's Rylan Lubeck in the wrestleback bracket.
The Tar Heels had a pair of wrestlers in action at 149 pounds with Christian Barber and Nick Heilmann.
Barber opened with a fall in extra time over Preston Keiffer of Indiana as the redshirt freshman wore down Keiffer to earn the pin at 9:41. No. 8 Nick Brascetta would get the better of Barber in the next round with an 11-3 major decision.
Barber responded with a 9-5 decision over Zach Bintliff of Princeton before having his day ended by Mitch Minotti of Lehigh by a 6-1 decision.
Nick Heilmann also opened with a win at 149 pounds as he bested Luke Swalla of Iowa State in a 6-1 decision before dropping a 6-0 decision to No. 12 Eric Grajales of Michigan. Heilmann would have his tournament come to an end in his next bout as North Dakota State's Joe Garner claimed a 6-4 decision over Heilmann.
Freshman Jake Crawford saw his first action as a Tar Heel on Saturday as he went 2-2. Crawford dropped a 7-3 decision to Maryland's Ben Dorsey in the opening round before pinning Mike Schmidlin of Sunnyvale WC in his first wrestleback bout.
Crawford added an 8-4 decision against Brandon Wilbourn of Nebraska before losing a 7-2 decision to Logan Molina of Iowa State.
John Staudenmayer was 1-2 on the day at his first Midlands Championships. Staudenmayer fell to Oregon State's Alex Elder in 5:32 before besting Riley Banach of Northern Iowa with an 8-5 decision. Chris Moon of Virginia Tech would end Staudenmayer's day with a pin in 4:05.
Sophomore Frank Abbondanza was 0-2 at 174 pounds as he suffered a 7-2 decision defeat to Jermaine John of Hofstra and a pin in the final period to Kevin Bailey of Lehigh.
Sophomore Alex Utley suffered an opening round defeat in a narrow 3-2 decision against Jake Waste of Buffalo but bounced back with a pair of wins in the wrestleback bracket.
Utley claimed a 9-6 decision over Iowa State's Boaz Beard who entered the day ranked No. 16 in the country. Utley then faced Vince Pickett of Edinboro where he claimed a 7-3 decision before Oregon State's Ty Vinson ended his day with a 16-0 tech fall.
Freshman Cody Klempay was involved in three pins on Saturday. The first went in Klempay's favor as he pinned Brandon Contreras in 6:47 before being pinned by Kyle Cowan of Penn in 1:53. The wrestleback bracket had Klempay paired with Chris Penny of Virginia Tech who pinned the freshman in 1:26 to end his day.
Action resumes in Evanston, Ill. on Sunday at 12 noon CT as consolation rounds, semifinals and seventh-place matches will be held.

Arsène Wenger admits Arsenal miss Alex Song - but no more so than any other player.
Song is suffering from a knee injury and was one of a handful of big names who sat out Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Manchester United.
But Wenger refused to use his absence as an excuse after his team's FA Cup exit at Old Trafford.
The Cameroon midfielder has not featured since the Carling Cup Final on February 27 and Wenger admits he will not be fit in time for Saturday's crucial Premier League trip to West Brom.
"I don't think it's down to one player," said the Arsenal manager.
"We would like Song back and we would like Fabregas back. We have now to cope with Djourou [being] out and he is an outstanding player.
"I don't know [when Song will be fit again]. But certainly not for Saturday."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Easy to find, friendly staff, clean room, I'd stay again.
I loved the staff. So helpful, and friendly. Very accommodating. Just really great people overall. Room could have been cleaner. Bathroom smelled like Pee, and my wife found a tiny rubber band in the bathtub. Neither of us wear braces. Other than that expect to pay typical hotel prices for everything. Overpricing is sadly the norm at places like these.
Hotel is clean, has multiple on-site restaurants including Atlanta's only Tiki Bar, service is prompt and is connected by Slybridge to The Marriot Marquis convention center/hotel. They recently removed their pool and are in the process of installing a large conference center instead. The pillows on the bed are on the flat side and difficult to sleep on, but the front desk is able to get you extra pillows.
This hotel should be closed while being remodeled. The smells noise and dirt are awful. The noise was truly unbearable. And my room was not remodeled. Sticky floor that I asked to be cleaned and never was. Old beat up furniture. Leaky faucets. Toilet that wouldn't stop running. You'd think it was a roadside motel that rented rooms by the hour.
Nice location specially the sky ridges connecting 3 hotels to Leachtree Center very helpful staff good security nice size rooms
The breakfast buffet was fantastic The servers were the greatest ! We didn't get what we actually ordered but paid any way . I ordered a western omelette and bacon . But my omelette had extra onions on it and was torn apart . For my wife I ordered two eggs , bacon and a pancake. The pancake was missing and we ask for salt and pepper and hot sauce and never got it as well . They were busy I understand but to pay for a meal incomplete and wrong rubbed me a little bit the wrong way .
Went there for a concert. We could walk to the Georgia Dome. We were able to valet car and walk to restaurants/bars.
Location Hotel under construction, loud noises in the am, room smelled like paint, a little ghetto
Michael, the concierge, went above and beyond to make our trip a great one. There is no pool.
Tha Executive floor perks were great Whatever issues we had with our room were dealt with quickly The bathroom faucets leaked. The beds and pillows were too soft fo me.
Location.!! The bathroom needs an upgrade/maintenance there was a clog. Took a couple of minutes for the water to drain.
Lots & lots of interior construction
Big hotel. Accommodated my early arrival. False alarm went off at 5:30am, waking all guests. It was not resolved until about 20 mins later.
the restaurant service was awful. we went every night. food was great, service was terrible.
They had amazing customer service!
Clean room 45 min check in, valet was full, took 2 hours to get s toothbrush
Supposed to be free wifi. And free parking not amazing at all
it was a nice room and pool. no where to park except down the street at midnight in downtown atlanta with my daughter. we first sat for 45 minutes to get into the mariott only to find out they had no parking because it was full and so we had to go down the street park in a parking garage, and walk back two blocks with our luggage at midnight. I will next year stay someplace that offers more to there guests. I was disappointed also in the staff very unhelpful, I just was not impressed at all with what I got for my money
Short weekend trip and could not have asked for more. Excellent service and friendliness impressed us and our friends. It was perfect. Nothing. It wasperfect
Room was very clean. Comfortable bed. Air worked great. There was alot going on at the hotel that weekend but check in was pretty quick and the riom was extremely quiet.
Customer Service, lobby, Starbucks on site $35/day for parking
The bathroom needed a fog fan. One of the shower doors didn't move very well.
Great staff, perfect location, very central. Unique architecture. Highly recommend.
I like being close to the Atlanta area. I like the building architecture and the modern furniture. After getting our key room, the reception attendant was not too clear about our floor number or room number, so we got of course in the wrong elevator (I had all the bags and three small kids). It was a little frustrating I wished more hospitality and clarity for our first time there... Then the next day the alarm clock in the next room to ours started beeping at 5am with no one there to turn it off. I had to call the guest services to ask for someone to turn it off. Of course all the kids I had sleeping with me woke up at 5am!!! not the way you want to sleep at a 5 star hotel!
The valet parking took to long to get your car
Only thing I liked was convenient location and the service was very friendly. I can't believe this hotel has 4 stars. It barely feels like a hotel and its quite impersonal. The CNN aspect is interesting but the building feels like an office with the hotel as an after thought. The rooms are super out of date and there are no outlets that are easily accessible near the bed which is super annoying for plugging in devices. Also, you have to pay $15/day for internet. SERIOUSLY! Internet should be free and included in the price, PERIOD. The nickel and dimming is super annoying. It reflects how out of date the hotel is. I'm not sure how other ATL hotels are but I'd encourage you to find a better place to stay. I really hope ATL has better options than this place.
Close enough we were able to walk to the venue and several choices of restaurants nearby. $35 added for required valet parking with almost an hour wait for our car to be retrieved.
Location is great. Easy walk to Phillips Arena and other attractions in the area. Valet parking attendants were wonderful!! Booked online thru hotels.com. Reserved a deluxe double room, with 2 double beds. Got the two beds, in a tiny single room with moldy bathroom in which the tub barely drains while showering, for $358.00. Extra charge for internet!! Called front desk after arrival. Told me they could not do anything about it as I had booked through a third party. Lesson learned.....go direct!
Excellent location, and services. The rooms seem very dated (south tower). Wallpaper peeling, dark look. Bar area is nice, but staff seemed to not want to be there and it showed in the service. Sat at the bar and had an unpleasant smell.
We didn't know the limit until we had already booked and gotten the itinerary. Very inconvenient and we had to pay for 2 hotel rooms because we could not cancel. The staff we spoke to on the phone were unpleasant. We were calling to let them know we were going to be arriving late and it turned out we couldn't stay there at all. It would have been nice to know the fine print about the pet friendly hotel before I booked and paid.
Expensive Valet only
Staff and location Price and rooms need to be updated. Our room smelled like old carpet.
Desk manager mariadirty roo Dirty room. No wakeup call. poor valet service
Lobby was nice & location was good The carpet was stained and worn, and so was the furniture. The tub was so clogged that the water backed up to your ankles even in a quick shower. Valet never answered the phone and was slow even when there were four or five guys standing around. Self park is not even an option. Check-in was slow. View was horrible- we had an inside facing room. I've had nicer stays at budget hotels. Don't expect much from this place. Every amenity is charged separately.
My reservation was ready. Elevator was not working most of the time, there was a tear on the carpet by the balcony, I was adviced to use the stairs after waiting for several minutes on the only working elevator. Walked to the 14th floor and my card didn't work. I called front desk right away for a replacement card. They explained that they will send someone up, 30min later, nothing, I went downstairs and the staff was short and lazy. I politely asked for a replacement card and asked if there is any kind of compensation for all the inconveniences that happened. Front desk said there is nothing they can do. It is very unlikely I'll get a room there again.
Very nice hotel! N/A
We loved the setups of the room, pool was amazing kids loved it. Did not like paying for self parking, valet parking I understand bt paying for self parking wasn't use to that.
The workout room was nice and clean.
Very nice, clean, and convenient. Way too expensive. Their green housekeeping program was confusing. Food at the hotel was also outrageously priced for quantity and quality of the food.
The hotel was beautiful very clean the pool was great and the staff was very friendly The bathroom door did not lock and the sound proofing for the rooms were awful
Fire alarm ringing all night in the room next to us
Value for money. Parking cost. Room Size.
We are frequent Sheraton customers and specifically went out of our way to stay here at the Atlanta Sheraton. The parking is a joke. You have to park far from hotel then take a small path down a small car ramp and with kids and luggage it's not only scary it's dangerous. The hotel wasn't as clean as most Sheratons but most of all the rooms were extremely noisy. We could not sleep at all with the noise. Will not stay here again. On a positive note the pool was nice. Not clean Super noisy Parking is a nightmare
I love the location and I have always felt safe here. I have had issues staying in Atlanta in the past, but fortunately, I have never had issues at this hotel. Parking was not included in the price of the hotel. I wish I knew this as I was booking instead of finding out at check in.
Location and price. We requested 2 beds and a pull out or cot on this website. We were told that that set up was a fire hazard and no room in that hotel was set up like the one we requested. We were given the "hospitality suite" which consisted of a bed that pulled down from the wall, a pull out couch, and a cot they had to roll in. There were no actual beds.
I loved Jazzy J in the club lounge ! He was SO AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL Spirit! Supurb customer service ! I loved the indoor pool garden ! Wish there was a sauna .
The rooms were clean and the decode was very nice Was hard to spot and wasn't close to downtown like the description
Friendly staff Clean rooms
Incredible views. Within walking distance of almost everything Atlanta has to offer. Friendly staff, quick to respond to any requests at any time of the day/night. Our AC unit lost power at 11pm, they had it working by 11:30pm. ORDER A DRINK at the bar on the 73rd floor and then sit back and relax while the room rotates, giving you the best view of every part of the city. Worth the money. Only complaint - the beds in the double queen rooms are small, and do not comfortably sleep two adults.
Rooms were nice and clean For the cost I would hope for a peaceful nights sleep but instead loud music was played half the night along with younger girls running and laughing up and down the hall. Very disrespectful.
Location,luxuries ,clean,staff,view Valet parking
I loved the view from our floor and the room overall was very comfortable and clean. I did not like that you have to pay for wifi unless you are a member.
This is the 2nd Westin I've stayed in and they have both been great. At this one in particular, the staff was super nice and I had a very good experience. The bed was amazing. Beautiful hotel from the outside too. The room wasn't as big as I was expecting and I had hoped for a bathroom as nice as the one I stayed in in St. Louis. It had a big walk in shower while the one in Atlanta was a standard tub you can find in any hotel.
The valet parking and baggage storage staff were very friendly and helpful, but the check in receptionist was cold and impersonal. For these prices, WIFI should be free. Period.
Staff were great
Location Poorly managed and staffed. Rooms need insulation from the hallway sounds. Charged for Internet when I was told it was free as a Starwood member.
I loved how accommodating and welcoming they are for pets. The cost of the room based on the size. Was expecting something much bigger for the cost of the room.
Very nice room with amazing view of dowtown
View from the room was lovely. Used to having breakfast and parking included in the price of the room.
Close to all I needed, amenities were complete Noise, heard next room talking till 3 am.
Location and the people are awesome. Small room. Didn't have a King that I requested. Got 2 doubles. Typical over - expensive food and beverage that you have to stand in massive lines for.
Great meeting hotel, with the best and friendliest staff anywhere. Really good lunch options are in the contacted food court.
There should be a shuttle to and from the airport and a a better parking system
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very polite. Even the cleaning crew when you meet them in the hall they all said good morning have a great day. I forgot to leave my keys in my car one night when we got in and they sent a security office named Erin to my room to get my keys and very polite. I told them I was so sorry he said no ma'am it's fine. Very friendly. Nothing.
Excellent front desk and bell staff. Plenty of rooms for early check-in. Room balcony doors actually open so you can get a breeze and see the city. Excellent location for getting all around the city. The interactive TV menu is cumbersome, the mouse on the remote is crap and takes like a million spins to get anything done. Its just not very usable sometimes.
Great staff, great location, great place
Location Breakfast not included
Comfortable bed , I was upgraded to a king and also put up on a higher floor by request. The view from the tower is no view at all just down town traffic and noise. Also the walls are thin, I could here others toilet flush and door closings.
I like the fact that is in the city ,and I didn't had to rent a car everything is just there great location. But the room that I got its wasn't clean everything just was dasty the sheet was very dirty I don't think that hotel with high quality like the say but honestly it's wasn't athe all I'll give it rate 5 star only because the location was great.
We stayed here twice in 1 week and requested a King with View room. The first time we got just that, and the skyline view from the international tower was beautiful! The room was quiet, modern, and the best part was all the electronics plugs offered on the nightstands! Great location to restaurants and the trolley. When we checked in, we were told we were "guests of the day" and were given a voucher for food/drink items at the hotel's market. As we checked out, I happened to speak to a nice gentleman at the front door and mentioned we would be back in a week's time because we were celebrating our anniversary in Aruba. He gave me his card and said he and his staff would ensure that we had a great time when we returned. When we returned, he had upgraded us to a King Suite on the 17th floor with a corner view and 3 balconies! It was the most amazing room I have ever stayed in at a hotel. THANK YOU!!! We also had a nice "snack" in the bar and I had am amazing kale salad. We are now huge fans and will be staying at this hotel whenever we can in the future. Our King Suite Corner View room could have been vacuumed better. It was apparent that housekeeping does not use a crevice tool at the edges of the carpet, for they were very dusty and dirty throughout the unit. Same with the window tracks, but this is pretty minor. Otherwise the room was AMAZING!
Loved the location? Could of been a little cleaner.
Hotel was very nice and staff was pleasant. Rooms were clean, some of the hallways were a little shabby. Surrounding area was not safe at night. . There were a lot of homeless people in the streets at night who would harass you as you tried to get back to the hotel from dinner. Also price of the hotel was high.
champagne at check in.
The staff at the hotel was without question second to none. I travel over 200 nights per year so I have a bit of hotel experience. The traffic at the front was a bit much, but the Valets manage it extremely well. The Valets are the best I have ever seen.
Great service and friendly efficient staff.
The Hotel while a Ritz Carlton also has a boutique feel, the rooms are exceptional in function and style. All of the staff that I interacted with were warm and friendly There was nothing I did not like
The employees No pool or jacuzzi. Or free breakfast
I mistakenly booked a reservation here and called 10 mins later to cancel. I was told on the phone that I would not be charged anything for the cancellation but was charged $224 for not staying there. I understand cancellation fees but don't make promises you won't keep.
The beds, service, staff, everyone is here to help you enjoy and relax life. My favorite and only place in Atlanta I will stay.
Location Room was tight. The did not take the effort to find my marriott rewards number ( did not have with me). would not consider an upgrade evin if I paid because I booked with this site.
Everything on the Room Service menu was excellent.
The Bed was so comfortable!!!
The bed and the pillows There is no electrical adapter
Almost everything was perfect except the size of the room for a family of 4. The food arrived to the room not hot but a little cold from room service. Room size was small for a family of four. Beware if your flight arrives early check-in time is at 3pm!!!
This was the worse hotel experience of my life!!! They had overbooked the hotel by a large number of guest and had to make arrangments for us at another hotel. The hotel was not in the location we wanted and they did not call and let us know ahead of time of the change so that we could arrive earlier instead of having to go half way across town to stay. The ast. Manager on duty was not appologetic and did not seem to care. I took it as this was a normal occurance by the way they acted.
My girlfriend and I spent a weekend in the city and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The room was perfect for our needs, it was clean and everything was as we expected. It was convenient to several restaurants and shopping. would definitely consider straying here again. Parking is probably my biggest issue, it's a little too expensive and wish it could be complimentary to guests.
Everything!! Especially how they accommodated my 10 yrs old granddaughter and made her feel special. They even made her and her stuffed animals name tags. That was just too precious!! With there was an ATM on every level.
Very hard to get a waiter at the Sunday brunch. Not used to having to search for help at Four Seasons hotel.
very nice staff very accommodating liked food in bar and lctaion was perfect for us high price, nothing special about the room or bathroom, early turndown very poor value for the money
The hotel is perfectly situated in mid town. The staff is wonderful, facilities great, and great food. The bathrooms are a little dated and need to remove the tubs and put in bigger showers for two
Was all good
Lobby and surrounding areas were beautiful. Close to the places we wanted to go. Room was very small for the money even though I got a deal. Beds were really small. We have never stayed in a room with 2 beds that were not queen beds
Very friendly staff! Excellent Nothing
Public areas. The dining room is very small.
The decor was just amazing and really enjoyed my stay. Simple words - pure luxury in everything. Impressed! :) It's no doubt is expensive to stay and valet parking kind of slow.
The staff was phenominal. They were professional and courteous the entire time. THe room was nice and very clean. Considering how much the room cost, i expected a little bit more, but it seems like you have to be very careful on what you do or else you will incur extra fees. To start off, parking was an extra fee. When we checked in we were told that internet and use of the spa area was complimentary. When i tried to login to the internet, I was given the option to pay for a day of use or a couple of hours. When my wife went to the spa area and asked if she would be able to use the facilities for free she was told no and given a price guide. Now i didnt expect free services, but i did expect that when i am told the spa is complimentary i assume it meant free use of pool, steam rooms, hot tubs, etc. Don't get me wrong. I came to this hotel just knowing it was expensive, but the rooms value alone just did not meet the cost . After a stay here, I would like to explore a lower tier of hotel within the city. I truly think i could get the same value for a much lower cost
Loved the valet, design, location and overall customer service of team. Indoor pool was nice but more sun exposure/outdoor pool or larger deck would be great.
Staff was incredibly nice No outdoor pool (which every nice hotel in Atlanta has) and no movies or decent tv stations in room?!? We checked into hotel for a 'staycation' and wanted to sit by a pool during the day and get room service/watch movies at night and couldn't do either!!! Total disappointment and WAY too much money to not have basics like that. We ended up wandering through the mall because we had literally nothing to do there... huge waste of money.
The hotel itself is beautiful: cold but tastefully decorated. We waited 45 minutes for our room keys. During this time we toured the spa and the pool deck. Upon check-in we alerted the staff that we were hungry; no one made mention of the fact that Paces 88 closed at 3 pm and didn't reopen until dinner. The butler assigned to us was anything but helpful. Went to see the concierge. The chef concierge Jeff suggested we walk across the street to Whole Foods for a lunch buffet. Not quite what we had intended; a recommendation of The Capital Grille would have been more appropriate. Room service it would be. When we got back to the room there was no dining menu. A call to the ''butler'' yielded a 20 minute wait while she fidgeted with her computer so she could view the menu. She read one-word descriptions and asked what we'd like. I asked for a print out of the menu. That took 20 minutes to deliver. We walked to Brio, the highlight of our visit. I scheduled a 90 minute facial to help myself relax in the Remede Spa. Several times during the treatment the sound of a washing machine on high spin cycle erupted, startling myself and the spa technician. The tech apologized and said she would find out what the noise was so that the next person wouldn't experience it, with no concern to my experience. There are still signs of construction going on throughout the hotel. If the hotel wasn't ready for guests, in my opinion, they shouldn't have opened. A good first impression is always important. Overall, probably won't visit this hotel again. The Ritz Carlton has better service and much more concern for their guests.
Guest room Lobby Hotel Exterior I had the pleasure of being one of the first guests who checked in to the new St. Regis Atlanta which opened on April 14th. I arrived to the hotel shortly after their ribbon cutting, and the hotel felt very alive. judging from the first moment I walked in to the hotel, I felt like they have been open for over 5 years, and that nothing seemed to be worng. I had the most warm and welcoming arrival - the doorman was very pleasent and asked for my name, he quickly assisted me with my bags and escorted me to the front desk. They knew my name as soon as I arrived, and checked me in (and gave me a nice upgrade as I am a Platinum member) to a nice suite. I was escorted by the front desk person to the floor, and met my butler (yes, I had a personal butler). She was very nice and escorted me to my room. she explained about all the services they provide and offered to unpack me and provided me with a great explanation about the room (they have a cool TV in the bathroom miror). The gym is overlooking the pool and has one of the best equipments I have seen. Although I didnt have a change to use the spa, it looks like a great experience. The bar and restaurants were full with people (which I guess came for the first night). This was a true 5 star experience - i will be back next month to Atlanta and will not look for any othre place to stay.
This hotel was superb! The rroms were well appointed, spacious, the bed was like sleeping on a hundred soft pillows. The bathroom had a deep soaking tub and a TV hidden behind the mirror over the sink, behind 2-way glass! If you need a ride to nearby shopping, you get ferried in the hotel car which is a Bentley! Food was great, service was flawless. Would stay again without hesitation.

Friendly helpful staff I stayed in two different rooms that were smelly - one smelled musty, the other smelled like marijuana smoke. We didn't enjoy that.
loved the steamroom pool was clean and the temperature was perfect didn't love the fact there was no jacuzzi waitress in the bar wasn't the friendliest parking was not cheap $24 to self park and &35 to valet
I know this is silly, but the late night room service menu is lacking for good snacks and included mostly salads and sandwiches. Not exactly what most people would look for on a late night menu! Parking is expensive and wifi is only free for 24 hours.
The bartender was very informative with an amazing personality!!!!!!
I love staying at the Grand Hyatt ! The staff always remembers us and are always so helpful, the food is great, they have a very nice bar area that we enjoy coming to after dinner, and once you get there you really don't have to get back in your car because the driver can take you most places!! A great place to stay for a weekend!
Steam room, sauna, and luxury shower all included in the gym area. Great pool and comfortable beds. Will absolutely be back!
Gym Sauna Great staff
Clean, nice pool and walking distance for most bars/restaurants. Although the booking sites claim "free wifi" and "parking", both are additional. Parking is 30 dollars a night and wifi is 12 dollars a day. When we came in the man who checked us in reassured us of this when giving us our keys. the lady who checked is out was very persistent about us paying parking per night. Essentially if you stay for a week expect a 210 dollar fee. This is not the valet fee, just parking deck fee. The woman at check out was very rude about this charge.
The rooms were beautiful and the staff was very attentive One of the night front desk staff members said something rude to our group when we arrived home.
Clean Location proximity to my office location Approachable-ness of staff Asked for a quiet room, they confirmed a quiet room. After a late arrival, I was awoken at 07:00 the next day to jack hammering and drilling from the room next door, which continued until I complained at 08:00 (front desk did not appear to be aware, needed to contact engineering). Room service forgot to include bring one of the items that was ordered and itemized on the bill until after I pointed it out that the item was missing.
Very nice hotel visually. The bed was comfy. The water was nice and hot. I had a very lovely view and a clean room! The customer service was extremely rude and aggressive (very shocking for 3 different women but the same attitude)... They showed no empathy for the long unnecessary wait as they talked amongst each other. Talked as if they where not happy to be there. Everytime I called down to the front desk either no one answered or someone answers then puts me on hold til I hang up. Then I had to go downstairs just to see them talking. The room service was terrible. $34.00 for 4 pieces of cold moist cod and fries+ terrible coleslaw. 8 buffalo wings that dry and not to taste. What a waste. We ate pizza after. And why is there only one small trash can in the room and it in the restroom? They tried to charge me for the complimentary breakfast. No one informed me that I needed a ticket. I was there 2 days. The breakfast presentation was great! But the service once again was terrible I had to track some one down for water and service. Both mornings the unorganized maids knocked on my door between 8-9 waking me up thinking I was not in the room charging in the room to clean or whatever. I was sleep and half naked. That's not how a person wants to wake up. I just can believe such a beatiful looking place would have such an awful experience.
Beautiful facility. I would have preferred that the two beds be queen size instead of standard. I am used to having a little more room to sleep in.
The rooms are extravagant - especially for the rates!!! I would like to have had complimentary breakfast available. More importantly I don't understand why a 5star hotel didn't have at least one microwave available for client usage!!!
Beautiful layout, waterfalls in lobby. Expansive grounds and trails.
The hotel was in a good location. Plenty of stuff to do. Great, safe, clean, family friendly mall within walking distance. Covered parking, with elevators to hotel lobby. We could not turn down the heat in our room, unit on wall broken. Had to turn unit totally off. Needless to say, one stuffy restless night. The pool was really , really nasty. Water was very cloudy, couldn't even see the bottom of the pool. There was all kinds of dirt, hair, film floating on top of water. Parking garage is very tight.
ease of check-in. Friendly staff. Overall stay was great
I literally just slept there during a very busy two day event, so I don't have much to base service on. It was very clean, professional looking. The staff were very friendly. The parking garage was a bit tight and difficult to get out of when others were trying to get in. I suspect it was constructed long before mammoth SUV roamed the world.
The hotel is amazing beautiful clean and love the private garden. The location was great right across the street from the mall.
bed was excellent, very cozy, i liked the fact that it was right across the street from perimeter mall. The inside and outside garden was very beautiful. They also had a Starbucks! 12:00 check out time. No complimentary breakfast, air condition could have gotten a little colder, bathroom tub could have been cleaner…i saw a few strands of hair.
Beautiful views We could not check in early. Our group arrived at approx 10:30 am; we did not check in until after 2:00 pm No complimentary coffee.
Location Services seem to be declining.
About 10-15 minutes from every activity and shopping areas in Atlanta. Fairly close to a Walmart and Target. Service was fine, average. Very OLD fixtures in the bathroom. Had trouble stopping the tub to bathe. Toilet took awhile to flush. Charged me $40 extra as a "deposit" and had no knowledge of this. Parking was tight in a underground garage. Fairly old hotel.
The hotel is immaculate. Great location and the comfiest bed and pillows I have ever had. I stayed for 4 nights and loved it. The bar / restaurant area is small and lacks any atmosphere. Also, a bottle of water in the room is $6 so my advice is go to the meat by store.
Staff were amazingly friendly. Especially Courtney at the Front desk. Great location, very clean and well appointed rooms.
Lovely decour! Staff was really nice. Charges for local calls and wifi.
View and bathroom
The staff and location Room service was expensive
Nothing Customer Service and communication was terrible. Would never go back.
Great hotel and well decorated for the holidays. Hotel offered anything you could need. No pool and room did not have view of Atlanta but it was one of the affordable rooms.
The best service I have received at a Hotel in many years! Everything was great.
I was visiting Atlanta for the weekend. The Loews was a great home base for the weekend. The location is excellent in Midtown convenient to Marta and also easy to get in and out of the parking deck to explore Atlanta. The room was spacious with an extensive view of midtown and downtown from our room through floor to ceiling windows (we were on 25th floor). The bathroom had a separate shower and bath which I really liked and a TV. The restaurant in the hotel was very good. We are there for dinner one night and liked it so much we went back for a late night snack the next night. There is also a Cafe Intermezzo right outside the hotel to grab a glass of wine and people watch on Peachtree St. Prices were expensive for the weekend we were traveling. The bathroom was showing a little wear and tear with paint peeling on the ceiling.
The facilities and location The way the staff stared and treated us as if we didn't belong there. It was a long three days.
Beautiful corner room! Very chic and modern. Great staff.
I loved the decor of the rooms,it was very romantic and exciting. I enjoyed the whole stay!!!!
Very clean and modern looking. Nice spot for couples or adult fun. Very dark motif. very busy with non-guests but guess the marketing dept is heavy on the events
Great Concierge - Indira Wrick was extremely helpful and went above and beyond, Thanks!!!! Cant think of anything I didn't like
Free hotel car within downtown area
It was a cool, fun hotel. The room was tiny for the price and the shower did not have a door so it was freezing!
The staff was excelent. The bars in the hotel were great and the convenience of great restaurants was wonderful.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was amazing and clean. The drinks were too notch. The weather...... But that's not your fault.
I love, love, love the dark cool colors of the room and the modern design! I also loved the peak-a-boo shower! I did not like the $30/night parking fee.
The friendly effective checkin, the pool area, the BLT, the bed Ordering a burger at the pool - it took more than an hour to arrive ? Minibar was not replenished on a daily basis
The nice staff, the incredible view and the accessibility to everything we were doing that weekend. No.
I arrived only to be told that they had over-sold that evening and that they could not honor my reservation. They moved me to a lesser-quality hotel up the street for the same amount of money.
Location was convenient. Noise - walls are paper thin. Loud guest noise in hallway and elevator area. Amenities. Had to ask for shampoo, etc. Coffee was not replenished.
The staff is always friendly and the rooms are great - comfy bed, modern, quiet, and an outstanding shower!
Friendly Staff Good Location Room very comfortable It was after 3pm before I could check in and it would have been longer if I would have waited for the double room I requested when I made my reservations.
We were happy with the location and how quiet it was. We did not like the cost and we were disappointed in the cleanliness. The room was not filthy by any sense of the word, but when we arrived in the room there was an empty coke bottle sitting out and we were missing soap for the sink. We stayed several days and one day the room did not get cleaned. The carpet needed vacuumed and the furniture was dusty.
Great, friendly staff
Very friendly staff but there was dried blood on my sheets. Needless to say, I was unable to sleep comfortably after finding the dried blood in the sheets.
Bed was very comfortable and room was nicely updated. Being located across the street from a very busy downtown fire station was annoying. $30 parking was steep considering price paid for room.
Hotel was modern and staff was incredibly friendly. I read previous reviews stating that the fire station was loud. I heard it once or twice, but I didn't find it to be a concern. The hotel provided ear plugs in the room for those that are light sleepers. We were attending a festival in Atlanta as we do every year. We haven't stayed that this location, but I definitely will again. For the money paid, the hotel stood up well against several other higher priced hotels we have stayed at in the area. It rained and they provided umbrellas for us to use during the festival as well. There wasn't clearly marked hotel parking... we used the valet, which turned out to be somewhat comparable in price. Valet staff was very friendly and fast.
The hotel's restaurant, Fork & Juniper, has great cocktails -- try one of their gin drinks.
Great location. Perfect rooms.
Close to anything. Enjoyed my stay very much Some areas had strong smell of marijuana or weeds.
- Booked room (King) was not available and was only offered a Double - Was charged twice at check-out although room was paid in advance - Room quality was poor, with various items missing, tapestry falling off - Hotel restaurant (Adiamo) was very poor - Indoor pool was closed, outdoor pool not in the most cleanly state
I liked the options for dinning.
The staff was nice. We had requested a late check-in. Their website says to call the shuttle from the courtesy phone after 11pm for a ride from but their hotel is not listed there. When I called the hotel from my cell phone and pressed the number for shuttle service, no one answered. 5 times it rang until a busy signal started. When we got to the hotel, the front desk attendant was really not apologetic. She "upgraded" us to an executive room because they had sold out of the king we requested but the executive room was two double beds. The carpet of our room and the bathroom were dirty. Like They didn't clean the tub or vacuum the carpet. This place was disgusting. I would NEVER stay here again and hated having to stay even for the mere 6 hours we ended sleeping after having to find a cab to take us to the hotel and paying for that ride.
After having an engine blow up and having to turn around and get on another flight, I arrived in Atlanta at 1:30am. I called the hilton and they said there was a van. After calling 5 more times with no answer and waited 45 minutes , I finally took a taxi Got a room next to the elevator. The shower was wonderful and the sheets were great. Wish I could have enjoyed them more.
Poor customer service, did not receive house keeping, did not activated gate key, did not receive breakfast voucher, A/C did not work. It was horrible.
I was only there for a night but the staff was excellent and I will be back if I am station in the area. Room service was a bit slow but with all the Delta airline related delays that week they had way more orders than any normal night
We did not receive the room we paid for. We had booked a king bedroom for an overnight stay during our 10yr anniversary trip. Upon arrival, they told us all we have left is a couple two double beds. The attendant told us we requested a king room, No we paid for it. We pretty much had no choice but to accept the lower rate room and our compensation was a free cup of coffee. We booked our room over two months before our trip so it was disappointing that they give your rooms away that have already been paid for.
PRICE and location. This was just a stop to sleep on our trip as we headed to Fl. We could not bet the price. It was comfortable and convenient. I would stay again based on location and price. Staff was efficient. Not clean. We had 2 rooms. One had been left open prior to us arriving. Security determined staff had not finished cleaning. They finished but I believe he bathroom was over looked. I was so tired I didn't put up a fuss. Had I paid more or had to stay longer I would have mentioned it to the staff.
The staff was super friendly, respectful and very courteous. One of the restaurants downstairs was filthy. WORST PLACE IVE EVER BEEN TOO. The bathrooms were terrible, smelled and the floor of the restaurant had trash all over it so we left. The room we had was just ok... the lamp shade on one of the lamps was broken, the giant window with the mediocre view had some kind of residue on it making it look just dirty and wasn't clear to see out of. The shower door didn't slide shut all the way making the bathroom floor wet when we showered. So then we had to aim the shower head toward the inside shower wall which just made it a less disireable experience. Also, we were missing some of the coffee items from our 'deluxe' coffee bar in our room. It wasn't stocked and coffee wrapper trash was already on the counter area when we arrived. The furniture also looked dirty. Like it was dusty and then wiped down with a damp rag which left streaks. The iHome that was provided was also outdated. Very disappointed in this HILTON. I've stayed at HAMPTON INNs much better than this.
The bed covers were DIRTY i was not pleased at all. I was there to celebrate my birthday
Breakfast was great. I enjoyed the coffee shop also. It's a really nice, clean, hotel, with good rates.
The beds were super comfortable and the room was clean. I tried to check in at 4 pm and was told i was too early because they hadn't cleaned the rooms yet. They offered to text me when the room was ready if I wanted to go to get something to eat. I finally called back at 8pm to see if they had a room ready yet. Just a fair warning... Do not expect a room before 9pm.
The staff were very kind. the room very clean.
We liked the lounge & the room. It was a great atmosphere. There should be drinks in the rooms.
Great quality especially for price. Walls are super thin
Good staff, valet was very prompt, rooms were comfortable and very clean. Would probably stay again if I had some kind of coupon but coupled with the valet charge, it was too expensive for me. I can't stand places that charge $200/night and don't give you free wi-fi in the room. Also, the $32/day valet (while we knew about it in advance) still stung... there was pretty much no other option around though.
Really nice hotel. Would visit a again. Parking is expensive but probably the norm for downtown.
Having to pay 32 dollars a night for parking.
The extra charges for internet and the mandatory valet parking was a bit much.
Staff was rude.
Staff were very accommodating. Parking fees are greatly overpriced. Price of parking should have been included in price of room. A/C did not operate properly during visit. Staff offered room change or box fan. While this was a nice gesture, QC (Quality Control) was not performed to insure all functions and features of the room were properly operating prior to the arrival of guests. In the future, this function and quality check should be performed before the checkin of guests.
Good room, great check in and check out, great food.
Comfortable bed, polite and helpful staff, clean and spacious room, clean bath tub with good water pressure, no charge for printing out boarding pass Terrible restaurant - slow and nasty tasting food. Room looked out on airplane runway but since hotel is close to the airport I guess that couldn't be helped.
Clean and comfortable. The staff was friendlier and more service oriented than last time. Betty and Vanessa in the restaurant did a great job. Why would a higher-end hotel like this not have the local paper (Atlanta Journal) available for sale? They did not have it six months ago either. $15 Internet for 24 hours is a bit much. But the wired speed was very good.
The check in was fast and friendly he put our parking on a key and charged it to my room so I wouldn't have to mess with that the next day! The room was cozy and comfortable. The bed was soo comfortable I fell right to sleep. I had a view of the airport but didn't hear not the first plane take off, I was worried about that from reading reviews. No worries cause I slept through the night! It definitely had a luxury feel to it which was nice. Breakfast the next morning was great. It was well stocked and the entire staff was super friendly and willing to help with whatever you wanted. The shuttle service to the airport was fast and efficient. The hotel driver was extremely helpful with were we needed to go. When we finally checked out that was quick and effortless. The entire experience was a win/win! I got a luxury hotel for a non-luxury price! I enjoyed myself and had fun. Definitely recommend and will stay again!! What I didn't like is very minimal and the good of the experience far out ways my "bad"....the PARKING LOT, we arrived at 1 AM and didn't do Valet parking, we cruised the parking lot for probably five to ten minutes looking for a parking space. We found one but it had a sign in front of it (not handicap, Renaissance Ambassador of the Year) that clearly stated we shouldn't be parking there. Upon checking in the staff told us it was fine and not to worry, we were "Ambassadors for the night" but we did get the very last parking spot in the parking lot. Overflow parking is across the street, which at 1 AM would not have been fun! Also, when I booked the hotel I knew I was going to have to pay for parking but the website said $12 a day and $16 for valet but it was actually $16 a day and I'm not sure about valet. BREAKFAST, it was a tad more expensive than I was wanting to pay BUT the quality and the quantity of food at the buffet does make it ok. If you visit the buffet multiple times then it is definitely worth the price but if you only go once I think it's a little much. On four people we spent $56 and one person didn't get the buffet, only oatmeal. The drinks were included but really the kinda should be. The food was great though and the wait staff was super friendly. STAFF MEMBER, we needed to use the shuttle service to take my son to the airport and the one that was being loaded was obviously full and no one else was going to get on that shuttle. We asked the Staff Member when the next shuttle was going to be along and he told us 45 minutes. That wasn't going to work for us! So we start to the parking lot to take our car instead and we see another shuttle bus pull up so we head back and indeed he's going to the airport. The shuttle driver made up for the other gentlemen but it was irritating. When we got back I noticed that they have shuttles almost one right behind the other, so I don't understand why we were told 45 minutes. It worked out so it's ok.
It was very well decorated, clean and overall looked like a four/five star hotel. Staff was friendly and accommodating. It's literally 500 feet from the airport runway. You can hear planes taking off and landing as you walk through the hotel. I had a room facing the runway and could hear the planes taking off as though I was at the airport. I switched to a room on the other side of the hotel and it cut down on noise considerably until about 1 a.m. when I heard a train passing through. If you're a light sleeper I would not recommend staying here.
Great airport view, comfortable room. Breakfast buffet not well refreshed although there were plenty of staff and few customers, ice machine on my floor not working, not marked as O/O. No Saturday newspaper available.
Staff was very helpful and efficient. The hotel is beautiful and clean. Room was comfortable. Could only find one plug, not enough to charge our devices.
The kid loved the view of the airport, and honestly, considering that we were practically in the airport, I thought it'd be louder. Nice hotel, excellent breakfast! You will hear the planes all night, but didn't keep me up. Totally worth it to be able to watch the planes all night, it was kinda fun.
Location clean rooms nice staff free shuttle My food order Not done, Bottle water very prices
This was an absolutely amazing experience from check in to check out. Theres was nothing I didnt like.

Pedaling Adventures Await in Texas State Parks
AUSTIN – Hundreds of miles of dirt, caliche, crushed granite and paved bike trails wind through Texas State Parks, offering both easy and challenging rides in safe and scenic environments. February is a great time to join a scheduled ride, tackle an ambitious biking event, or better yet, take an unguided cruise on your own schedule with your family and friends.
Last year, dozens of miles of new bike-friendly trails were added to an already extensive state park trail system in such places as McKinney Falls State Park in Austin and Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Canyon. Near Gonzales, Palmetto State Park has added roughly two miles of trails, featuring bridges and boardwalks, to its existing three miles of trails.
To find out skill ratings and trail descriptions, you can visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Biking activity page. Cyclists also can check out a video roundup of what it's like to bike in a variety of state park settings, including this featured video from Brazos Bend State Park.
Trail levels range from easy, such as Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park's flat and paved park roads in Mission to the most challenging tracks — hilly, twisting, rocky mountain trails found at places like El Paso's Franklin Mountains State Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park near Presidio.
February brings guided and competitive biking events to several state parks.
Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe, 30 minutes from the western outskirts of Houston, will host a guided mountain biking tour every Saturday in February. Bring your mountain bike or rent one from the park for a moderately challenging ride. A helmet and some experience with off-road biking are necessary. Each tour is limited to 15 riders, so call (979) 885-3613 to reserve a spot.
On Feb. 9-10, cyclists will gather in at Cedar Hill State Park in north Texas for a two-day bike event. The second annual Cedar Hill Bike Fest benefits the Texas High School Cycling League. The festival, which is open to all ages and skill levels, will include a mountain bike race, two road races, a cyclocross race and a hill climb time trial. For more information, contact the state park at (972) 291-3100, extension 231.
For the third consecutive year, cyclists from across the state will gather Feb. 14-16 for three days of rides in Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park, and on the Lajitas trail system in far west Texas. The Chihuahuan Desert Bike Fest headquarters will be at the Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa, which will offer camping and social activities, including swimming, hula-hooping, live music, and the Austin Bike Zoo. Visit the Desert Sports website to pre-register and find out more.
Although most of Bike Fest's rides are geared for advanced mountain bike enthusiasts, the park also offers shorter, ranger-led bike tours of 10-11 miles for strong beginner and low-intermediate level bikers who have the conditioning to ride 11 miles of relatively flat terrain. A kid's ride is also scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
Highlighting the event's agenda again will be the signature, 58-mile EPIC ride (as designated by the International Mountain Biking Association) scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 16, onto which bikers can elect to extend an additional 12 miles (covering 70 miles total). There's also a two-day EPIC ride option, with an overnight stay and meals at Big Bend Ranch State Park's Sauceda bunkhouse.
Park rangers suggest these destinations for a sampler of biking trails across the state:
- West Texas - Franklin Mountains, Big Bend Ranch
- Gulf Coast - Mustang Island, Brazos Bend
- Hill Country - Government Canyon, Colorado Bend
- Panhandle Plains - Caprock Canyons & Trailway, Fort Richardson – Lost Creek Reservoir Trailway
- Prairies and Lakes- Cedar Hill, Tyler, Lake Somerville

JewishGen-ealogy by Genetics
With our Genealogy by Genetics partner, Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), JewishGen leads the way and takes Jewish genealogy into the new millennium by offering a revolutionary strategy for advancing your genealogy research -- DNA matching -- at an affordable price!
This tool will place you on the cutting edge of scientific technology. For some families, especially when there are no records and the paper trail dead ends, this tool may be your only means of establishing a relationship with potential family. With a simple swab of your inner cheek and scientific analysis of just a small portion of your DNA, relationships can be determined over a period in excess of a few thousand years. If someone has exactly the same DNA signature as yours, there is an extremely high likelihood that you share a common ancestor, from a time period ranging from a few generations to thousands of years ago.
Genealogical DNA testing can trace your patrilineal ancestors (father's father's father's ... father) by testing the Y chromosome and your matrilineal ancestors (mother's mother's mother's ... mother) by testing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The Y chromosome is passed from father to son, so only men can be tested for it. mtDNA is passed from a mother to all her children, so both men and women can be tested for it. However, men do not pass their mtDNA down to their children, so the only continuous path for mtDNA is through the direct maternal line.
Types of DNA Tests
Family Tree DNA offers several different tests. You can take one or more, depending on your genealogical DNA testing goals. Following is a summary of the tests available:

The Canisius College men's lacrosse team announced the addition of three former Golden Griffin standouts to the coaching staff on Wednesday. Brandon Bortignon '12 and Brendan Murphy '12 are both set to serve as assistant coaches, while Joe Rautenstrauch '13 is the volunteer assistant coach.
"We bring in a new staff who has a ton of knowledge and passion for the game of lacrosse," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "They are also bringing in a new energy and excitement to the program. As Canisius graduates, they have each been ingrained in the institution for five or six years. They have seen where we were are as a program and where we really want to take it. What is really huge is the amount of time and energy they are willing to commit to making us a better team on the field, in the classroom plus what it takes to win a conference championship and getting to the next level of the NCAA."
A senior on the Griffs' 2012 MAAC Championship-winning team, Bortignon spent the 2013 season as Canisius' Director of Operations, where he was responsible for the team's travel, budget and video operations. A four-year letterwinner at Canisius, Bortignon appeared in 14 games with the Griffs from 2009 to 2012, totaling four goals and two assists during his tenure. Bortignon will serve as the team's offensive coordinator in 2014.
"It is a thrill to come back to campus for another year," Bortignon said. "After ending my college career here with a MAAC Championship in 2012, I really wanted to come back as a coach and I am thankful to Coach Mearns for giving me that opportunity this season. An exciting year ahead for all of us on staff as well as our team."
Murphy, who will serve as the team's defensive coordinator, rejoins the Griffs after spending the 2013 season with Bellarmine, where he worked with the team's defensive and goaltending units in addition to assisting with the day-to-day operations of the program. A long-stick midfielder at Canisius, Murphy helped lead the Griffs to a MAAC Championship as a team captain in 2012, earning MAAC All-Tournament Team honors. During his four-year collegiate career, Murphy played in 36 games, collecting 73 ground balls and 18 caused turnovers.
"I'd like to thank Coach Mearns and Bill Maher for giving me the opportunity to coach at my alma mater," Murphy said. "Additionally, I would to thank Coach Kevin Burns, Jim Mitchell and Bill Gleason from Bellarmine University for last season and helping me get my coaching career off the ground. I'm very excited to be back at Canisius. Knowing many of the players on the team, we have a great opportunity to do something very special this season and going forward to compete for a MAAC Championship and an NCAA Championship."
Rautenstrauch enjoyed a breakout season at Canisius during his senior campaign in 2013. He played in all 13 games and ranked second on the team with 27 points on 18 goals and nine assists. Primarily a defensive midfielder during his first three seasons at the College, Rautenstrauch appeared in 39 career games with 32 points, 18 goals, 14 assists and 63 ground balls.
"It's a dream come true to be able to come back and coach at Canisius so quickly after graduation," Rautenstrauch said. "I am very excited about the upcoming season and pursuing another MAAC Championship for Canisius."
Canisius returns nine starters and 25 letterwinners from the 2013 team.

Bullet hits school bus, 1 student in Panola Co.
BATESVILLE, Miss. - Panola County authorities say a bullet struck a Panola County school bus, grazing at least one student in the back, may have been a hunting accident.
District Attorney John Champion tells WMC-TV in Memphis that a 10-year-old student was transported by helicopter Monday to Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center in Memphis.
Champion says authorities have received word from the hospital that the boy is going to be OK.
The bullet went through a side window of the South Panola bus, carrying about 15 students when the incident occurred.
Champion says investigators believe the shooting could have been a hunter.
Champion says so far a person has been cooperative in their investigation as they see what he was doing out there and why the shot was fired.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|They are incredibly smart! My 10 week old loves to train, and is always wanting to learn new things from me, it doesn't take me long to teach her something before she catches on. She has been potty trained since the first 4 days I had her, she has made a few accidents but I was the one to blame for them as I didnt get her out in time.
|They are crazy smart! Mine was totally potty trainined by 7 weeks. Alot of thing's I had to tell her no once and she didn't do it again, like play in the blinds she learned in a day that, that wasn't acceptiable and will not mess with them now. Or trying to "play" with plant's, told her no a few time's and she will not touch them. They are really impressive dog's
|I know its ridiculous but my girl is learning well after a day/and shes 7 weeks. She even rang the bell to go out once, but usually whines toward the door. She got to crouching to pee today and I said no and scooped her but those were not good reps. The good reps are when I time it after her eating or waking from a nap and take her outside to her spot. Im not gonna train her to potty in the house.
Link followed me around since day 1. I don't think it's being attached rather than being nervous and looking to someone for cues as what to do and how to act (IMO). I believe this process helps you two to grow closer. Link learned his pee spot in 4 days (without fail as long as he was in the same room) and made a few accidents in other rooms which I always caught and corrected with a "No!" And moving him to his spot. Potty training was a big deal to me but for how easily he got that; I wish I had taken that young 'watching for cues 24/7' phase to split my teaching to other household manners.
One thing that you'll find is difficult to get a handle on is that when their that small, every day is like you have a different dog! Their colours change, their size, their attitude, their ability and even the things they know! Some dogs will forget a trick for a week and suddenly be able to do it again. Things he doesn't have a problem with now, he will later. So remember to encourage all good behaviors even if you don't think he'll stop doing them.

|He's so awesome! I havent had a puppy since I was a kid and that didnt end well So needless to say this is new to me But I love the lack of fear and complete and total innocence and willingness to learn in this guy. My parents dog is a grump around other dogs. He LOVES me and is super jealous of this puppy. He growls and barks and tries to scare him away. (no biting) But Huter (puppy) just leaves for a minute and like 10 minutes later he tries again. At one point he just walked up and put his head under my parent's dogs chin. Puppy is trying so hard regardless of the other guys temper. I'm impressed and trying to stay calm because I dont want him to become afraid of grumpy dogs...just respectful. I know my parents dog will adjust. He did to my sister and brother in laws dog. Anyway....I'm babbling. I'm just really excited and very impressed. He's already learning "sit" and I havent really even tried. He naturally is in a submissive state and when we go inside after "potty" he waits till I catch up and then runs to side and a little behind me. He waits at the back door till I call him in. Then he sits and wiggles his butt till I pet him. He still makes mistakes with potty as I dont always realize what he's telling me and his bladder of course is small. But I'd say he gets it right 80% of the time so far. But for example, we were playing and he started whining. He wouldnt leave me because I was trying to engage him, but he whined. I didnt realize what that meant and he accidentally piddled. Now I know what that means :P

|We got ours at 9 weeks and he was potty trained from the get go. My breeder said he didn't do it. He said another one of the litter-mates new owner said the same thing about their puppy. The only time he's had an accident is when WE were not paying attention to him. We were pulling Christmas decorations out of the closet and he was standing at the back door. I was prepared with pads, news papers, and the jingle bells at the door. I didn't have to use a thing! So glad!
|Yes, they get attached very easily!!!! That second pic, with his tongue sticking out? OMG ... so cute ... and thanks for the pics!
|Very smart. And do they all get attached so easily? I was the one to hold him when we brought him home. (my hubby and I) and he is sooooo attached to me. Followed me around all day and when I sit down, if I dont directly engage him he decides to lay on my foot. If I'm in another room and dont want him to come with me, he lays on my purse instead.

well since i read how to build armor out of trash cans. i figured that, that would make a great material to make a scratch build out of. i used
- a circular trash can ($8 at walmart)
- a hard plastic bowl ($1 dollar store)
- visor (harbor freight $5)
- and a ton of epoxy, liquid nails, and bondo lol
i filled the bowl surface with bondo and sanded it. i used templates and cut the trash can and then from there, glued the pieces in. Now i know this isn't anything close to a replica, but considering that its really sturdy i feel a sense of achievement:thumbsup. i feel as though it resembles the ESB look which i prefer. though the colors are rotj lol. i did this for a costume for the new movie coming out FanBoys. and i have to make a darth vader suit for a friend so i really didn't have alot of time to do it. but considering it took me about a week a total of 9 hours to do including paint i feel it came out very well. Now before you all post comments, i STILL need to do this
-finish paint i need to paint thesides of the helmets, and add some silver.
- glue the visor in a lil better
-re attach the range finder (broke off while tring to bring it to school)
- and it seems to have to be buldged out a bit its a lil flat in the front , idk:confused it weird
-also i need to cut the slots in the back of the helmet (sorry for my lack of vocabulary)
- fix the dent it looks as though someone took a .50 cal to it instead of a laser :lol
but now since the whole costume is almost complete i want everything to go on a pvc maniquin to go in my room next to mame machine:D. well i guess thats enough writting for right now. heres the long awaited photos:
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/pictu...&pictureid=643http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/pictu...&pictureid=642http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/pictu...&pictureid=641http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/pictu...&pictureid=640inside it is as ghetto as it getts but it works:lol

I load up on them then cause they are great cheap fatty meat to mix with goose/duck/deer since they are lacking in fat which is needed for lots of recipes to turn out well. Plus the pork shoulders are great on there own to make pulled pork with. I rub mine with a sweet and spice rub let it sit overnight with it then put them in the smoker for a couple hours and then it goes in the crock pot till it will shread up.

Posted by William Band on August 27, 2012
As result of "big data" mania, there is an explosion of interest in business intelligence solutions and advanced analytics techniques. In particular, organizations of all sizes want to sharpen their ability to track the health of customer relationship management (CRM) business processes. A common question that I get from my clients is: "What are the best sales metrics that we should track, and how do we do it?"
Recently, my colleague Boris Evelson and I responded to an inquiry on this topic. Our answer is summarized below.
"How do we set up BI dashboards for a sales-focused company? We currently have Cognos, IBI, and various cubes around a 6 (+) year old Teradata warehouse. We are upgrading our Teradata to its latest technology and have purchased IBI's BI suite to use in conjunction. Our focus is on sales -- How did other organizations start out? We would like to know what works best for different roles from the CEO down to an inside sales rep?"
We believe the answer to your question relies in adopting best practices around analytical sales performance management. You should take a top-down approach that has five steps:
1. First, define the overall sales strategy.
2. Then, identify goals and objectives that you need to achieve in order to make your sales strategy successful.

Can someone give me a breakdown on the new changes to Knight Online since 2004?
I think everyone could agree that Knight Online was always a good game. It was good fun and very fluid. But I don't ever remember getting far into the game. Like all I can remember is playing it for a week. Then doing it again at another date... But I always enjoyed it.
Today I learned that the game is still up, and still active. The forums have currently 300 people online, so that means the servers probably are well populated.
Could someone check how active the game is still?
How have they changed their PvP system?
How have they added to the PvE?
Also, how is the F2P model? I believe I quit because you always got to a point where you needed premium access. Now the games website celebrates F2P, so is the game much more open to F2Pers?
Man... very nostalgic thinking about this game. I'm amazed it's still alive, but I'm also not surprised, because it certainly was a hidden gem of an MMO.

As many supporters may be aware, it is customary for visiting German fans to participate in a short march to a visiting stadium, when supporting their team at away matches.
Arsenal FC and FC Schalke 04, together with the Metropolitan Police Service and German police, have worked closely to facilitate this activity to ensure minimal disruption to the normal flow of supporters coming to the stadium on Wednesday night.
In order to make the German supporters' route into the stadium as easy as possible, it has been decided to guide them on the 'South Ramp' prior to entry to the stadium, so that ticket checks and searches can take place at the turnstiles in smaller groups.
We expect the 'South Ramp' to be heavily congested from 6.30pm on Wednesday for approximately one hour, as the Club and police manage the entry of the Schalke supporters into the stadium.
The 'South Ramp' is the slope immediately to the right of The Armoury, which leads up to the stadium.
Arsenal fans are advised to use the steps either side of The Armoury to access the podium and turnstiles during this period. Both the Ken Friar and Danny Fiszman Bridges will also be available for supporters at all times.
The 'South Ramp' will be open for access to all supporters after the match.

text: We just received a large shipment of Saigas today, finally. One thing is the RAA import marks are taken out, not nicely in fact, but a way in which involves stipling/etching. Ugly as hell. I'm not sure how I'm going to remove this, as I haven't tried to polish it out yet. If that don't work, I'll tig the whole damn spot. I'll post pics in the morning. Just wondering if anyone has corrected this problem yet.
