 to the kitchen? In many instances you aren’t covered by your landlord’s insurance so without your own insurance you could come face to face with a whole lot of debt.
Imagine coming home one evening and find that your neighbour’s heater caused a fire and whilst your apartment is not destroyed, all your contents are damaged by smoke. Renters insurance can pay fire damage on belongings and in many cases will pay for you to stay somewhere else while the damage is repaired. Be aware insurance policies don’t cover cigarette burns or scorch marks.
A water pipe has burst in your ceiling while you are at work and you come home to find your bed and favourite arm chair have been destroyed. Whilst your landlord’s insurance will pay to repair the apartment it doesn’t usually cover your personal belongings. Renters insurance will pay to either repair the bed and arm chair or replace them if they are totally destroyed.
If a visiting friend injures themselves in your home, in most cases you will be covered for all or part of any legal and medical fees as a result of the injury at your address. Obviously your liability coverage will vary depending on your circumstances so make sure you check your policy or ask your insurance agent for details on how much your liability coverage is.
One way to spend your Black Friday...
If you loathe the Black Friday fracas but crave an alternative to sitting around eating Thanksgiving leftovers, or if you have annoying family in town who won't stop fighting over politics, here's a list of things to get out and do in Atlanta rather than shop!
From burning off that second piece of pumpkin pie with a hike, to taking in the attractions around Centennial Olympic Park, there's plenty going on around the city right now.
Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in tradition and history. For those you enjoy delving deeper into local heritage, the Atlanta History Center features a museum, library, research center, and range of historic structures in its Buckhead complex.
Encompassing many miles of riverfront across 19 individual parks, the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area offers more than 16 square miles with hiking trails, picnic areas, and water access. Stretching across the north side of the city, it's not hard to get to the National Park from most of the metro.
Holiday shopping season kicks in to high gear after Thanksgiving, with just a month left until Christmas to procure presents. For those wanting to start shopping but avoid big-box stores, Decatur Square offers an array of small shops and restaurants — for people who didn't get their fill on Thanksgiving, that is.
For those who haven't spent enough time at the airport during the busiest travel time of the year, Delta offers the chance to check out the company's history (and interact with some old planes) in a historic hangar complex just off the runways.
While Thursday may be all about turkeys, Black Friday could be the ideal time to check out your favorite H2O-dwelling creatures. As the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere, lines can get pretty hectic, so buy tickets online in advance.
For those who prefer a more sedate approach to Black Friday, take a trip to the High Museum to appreciate some art. It's also a great option for anyone who wants to stare contemplatively at works by some of the greats rather than talk to visiting relatives.
Want a more cerebral Black Friday experience? Head over to the Center for Civil and Human Rights to gain an appreciation for those who have paved the way in Atlanta and around the world.
For those who don't mind the chill of late November (okay, it'll be like 70 degrees this week), Piedmont Park offers the perfect opportunity to be active following a day of gluttony.The Atlanta Botanical Gardens, located in the park, offers a chance to check out fall foliage in Storza Woods, too.
Want to burn off restless energy by burning rubber? The Porsche Driving Experience offers the chance to test out some of their fanciest cars. Of course, the experience doesn't come cheap, but neither does a 105" UHD curved TV.
Active out-of-towners may be interested in checking out one of Atlanta's most famous infrastructural interventions. Even if there's a crowd, plenty of places like Historic Fourth Ward Park are available to stop and ponder thankfulness along the way.
Grant T. Olson - What Does Yahoo BOSS Really Think of Cleveland?
What Does Yahoo BOSS Really Think of Cleveland?
We had an interesting problem at work. Any time a user did a location-based search, we returned the same result set: Lakewood, Ohio. It didn’t matter what the user searched by. “Beverly Hills 90210” returned Lakewood, Ohio. “221B Baker Street” returned Lakewood, Ohio. Lakewood is part of the Cleveland Metropolitan Area, and as such we’ll just refer to it as “Cleveland” for the purposes of this essay.
My initial thought: Something is screwed up with caching. Somehow someone did a search on Ohio, and the results somehow got stuck in one of our many caching layers. Subsequent requests kept returning the same cached result. We do have a couple of employees from Ohio, so it wouldn’t be entirely outlandish for a Cleveland-area search the be the first search performed after a caching bug was introduced.
After digging though the code path, it turned out that Yahoo BOSS, our geolocation provider, was returning the same results no matter what location we submitted. Per the documentation, you perform a search by submitting a request formatted as either placefinder?location=<address> or placefinder?q=<address>. Our code was using the location parameter. I tried changing this to the q parameter, and suddenly geolocation requests magically worked.
I made a quick fix to the code, and did something you should never do: I pushed out an untested release directly to production on 6 PM on a Friday. Our test and staging environments don’t do real geolocation since each request costs money. They simply extract the zip code and look that up. It would take a while to get a test environment with real geolocation setup, and changing the word location to q in the bowels of some obscure code didn’t seem likely to bring down the entire site. At worst, location searches would just still be broken. This wouldn’t be any worse than constantly returning Cleveland. What’s the worst that could happen? So I pushed the code.
Yahoo BOSS considers Cleveland to be the center of the universe. When you don’t provide an appropriate geolocate-able address, it decides it only makes sense to return the center of the universe, the most important place on earth.
Yahoo BOSS somehow knows that Cleveland is some sort of nexus point between dimensions, a.k.a. the Hellmouth.
Yahoo BOSS, after stripping invalid parameters, is left with the impossible job of geolocating the null address. When provided a set of null inputs, it must return the one area on Earth that most ideally represents pure and unending emptiness, the absence of anything and everything, the state of total nothingness. And in its infinite wisdom, it returns Cleveland.
There are simply no other options. Being a Pittsburgher, I have my own opinions on which of the three options is unlikely, which is possible, and which is probable. But I’ll let you decide for yourself.Currently a freelance Concept Artist/Illustrator.

Haha its np. You're making progress, and that's always great fun to watch! See you in GW2!
I choked on my coffee about three times just now, thank you for watching!
Np! Keep drawing!Yellow is very tough to pull off and you've done pretty well here.

Some of the secrets include brown, pink or orange base coats on top of a white primer. And then, of course, watering down your paint like 5:1 and just layering... and layering... and layering... and layering... and you get the idea.

Good contrast with the blue/turquoise, too. +1

Here's Kenny Boucher from Next Level Painting on yellow: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr3SMnKI-tY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr3SMnKI-tY)

True, he's using an airbrush to get some transitions.. but listen to him about the basecoats and other decisions that make painting yellow "easy".Stress and
