A Phoenix Rises From The Ashes: Atlanta Travel Information
Posted by admin on Dec 8, 2009
To gain a full understanding of America’s struggle through infancy and keeping the threads of the nation together during the Civil War, Atlanta is a mandatory travel destination. The entire city was at one point or another an actual battleground for many pivotal moments during the Civil War. The Union Invasion into Atlanta in 1864 is even the center story of the famous 1939 film, Gone with the Wind. Find your airfare to Atlanta today and immerse yourself in the city’s tumultuous centuries and even find some good ol’ southern hospitality.
Most major assets in Atlanta were destroyed during the Union siege of the city and when Union General Sherman finally gained control, he ordered the city to be burned to the ground on November 11, 1864, save some churches and hospitals. Thus Atlanta began again, leading the southeast in industry at the end of the 19th century and racial equality during the Civil Rights movement.
A Large Obsession in Atlanta
A new beginning in Atlanta meant open space for large public works and a sense of hometown pride that has been glorified by many art displays and projects. Book your airfare to Atlanta and begin your journey through history at the Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum, which is home to the world’s largest painting, “The Battle of Atlanta.” The painting is in diorama form with a revolving audience viewing platform.
If you leave the museum hungry, head on over to The Varsity, the first location of the chain and the world’s largest drive-in restaurant. Then, make your way to the Georgia Aquarium, which is - you guessed it - the world’s largest aquarium. Eight million gallons of water and 100,000 living specimens hold this elaborate marine wonderland heads above the rest. If you’re ready to see Atlanta’s outlying surroundings, take a drive to Stone Mountain to see the largest piece of exposed granite slab in the world carved into the busts of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. For a taste of southern musical culture, make sure you travel to Atlanta during the Atlanta Jazz Festival, which happens to be the largest free jazz festival in the United States.
Capture Contemporary Atlanta
Atlanta is littered with modern cultural sights and post-modern design. Take a visit to the unique World of Coca Cola museum where the soda company’s incredibly successful marketing strategy is revealed during a journey through the 20th century. You can see the legend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s civil rights organizing and campaigning at the King Center, where his tomb rests in the center of a reflecting pool. For an evening out, visit the Woodruff Arts Center and choose among symphony, ballet, theater or its expansive are collection.
Atlanta is one of the most easily accessible destinations in the United States, hosting the headquarters or major hubs of most major airlines at its airport. America’s heritage and legends await; what are you waiting for?

Is there going to be a 13th series of Pokemon?
Posted by admin on Sep 17, 2009
I know that Galactic Battles will the end of the Diamond and Pearl Generation. Will Ash travel to a new region, or will Pokemon end?
Ash will most likely return to the Johto region with Dawn and Brock so Dawn can attend the contests in the Johto region (since she heard about them from May, who did the same thing but with the Kanto region). Also, according to HeartGold and SoulSilver, Ash will also be able to go to the Battle Frontier of the Sinnoh region, which is located in the Johto region, just like the Battle Frontier of the Hoenn region was located in the Kanto Region (in the anime).
Also, Nintendo has Pokemon copyrighted up to the seventh generation. So there might be three more generations. Heck, Pokemon might end up like "The Simpsons" and go on for over 20 years– It has already reached fourteen years.
I hope this helps ^_^
Which girl do you hate in pokemon?

Out of Misty, May, and Dawn, which girl was the worst to come into the series and travel with ash, and which one was the best?
Dawn is without a doubt the worst out of the three.
For reasons being that she seems to be too "nice" and also that she doesn’t seem to have an attitude. Also, I just don’t like how the artists drew her.
Misty is the better than May and Dawn for a few reasons. First, she actually had a bad side (ex. When Ash ruined her bike). Second, she had much stronger Pokemon than both May and Dawn and specialized in one type, water. May and Dawn both remind me of girl versions of Ash when he first started in Kanto while Misty was more of a supporting character aspiring to be a Gym Leader.

Written by a TSA Agent.
My advice is to carry the remains in cardboard or wooden box and not an urn. Most of the time, we can’t see through the urn with the xray because the metal is too dense and you will be turned away from the checkpoint and you won’t be allowed to travel with the remains. Same goes for crystal glass urns. The TSA has partnered with the National Funeral Directors Association to help relatives fly with remains. I would call the funeral director who handled your brothers services and ask them for a "security friendly" crematory container. They should know what that is and should be more than willing to help. Most often, the remains go through screening without issue, but be prepared for additional screening. Some people bring a copy of the death certificate, which may be good to have in case you run into an issue, but I’ve never seen it needed.
Additional information found on the same site as above.
The Funeral Home/Crematory can provide you with any paperwork you might need. Typically a certified copy of the Death Certificate will suffice as this also should show the name and address information of the Funeral Home/Crematory used and the name and signature of your Funeral Director.
Typically a "Transfer Permit" is neither issued or required for cremains transported in the U.S.
