An introvert walking into an interview: not an ideal situation – unless, of course, you're the extrovert competing for the job. Introverts are considered more of the listening type, reflective as they soak in their surroundings.

The faster you go the more thrust you need to overcome drag..soo many motor tests have shown me that over rev without the torque.. leaves you with less over all speed... the prop is slipping.. rather then grabbing the air and using it with every revolution... there are increadible jumps in rpm and amps based on what size prop you go with.. a 5in pitch doesnt have to spin as fast as a 4in as we know .. in order to go 100 we really need more pitch.. a 3.650 would be worthy at 25k
5oz of thrust with 120mph prop tip speeds on just 2cells 9amps inflight loads...if there is enough thrust to overcome drag ... Hybris is getting 67mph with a 4pitch prop the 5043cut down to 3843 should get him around 75mph... a carbon 5x5 gunther cut down to 3.650 should get the hot motor.. around 85mph, the white gunther is a 4.5in prop if I recall....the new hot motor is faster in the rpm but also gains run time .. you have options 4.3in / 4.5in /5in props are ways to increase speed and scrub off some run time. |
Aug 18, 2004, 05:00 PM | |
I may try cutting down the 5043 to 3843. Cutting the Gunther props looks difficult. The end is more complicated than the GWS.
I look forward to comparing the rvincent's TP730 with my Apogee 830s. I'll break out the wattmeter and scale. rvincent, I hope you are using deans micro plugs not those crummy jst connectors still. |
Aug 18, 2004, 05:23 PM | |
the gunther airfoil is thicker gives more lift as I found with the props in this pic.. the typical 4040 in the back and a 4045 and 3.345..easy to do with a few metal files and some fine sandpaper..the bottom pic is the 13.5 wing very fast even on a 3030.. blistering speeds with a 4040...if you getting 67with the hot motor and 4040 the 13.5 wing should get you in the lower 80's its just a 3X13.5 span wing.. compare to the 4X16.25..there is alot less wing but still comes in fine on lighter cells.. any setup under 1.5oz of batt weight will work.

I have recently gotten a 130v DC gear motor that I want to use to power my grain mill. For the life of me I cannot find any info that will help direct me as how this will be powered. I mean does it take something as simple as using a 12v dc transformer to power this motor? Or, how about using a pulse width modulator? I just don't know how and what to use. I do have an understanding of electricity, but I would appreciate some help in the right direction. All of you electrically inclined people please help a brother out.
usually dc gearmotors are driven by pulse width modulated variable-speed controllers, but if all you want to do is run it at top speed you just need a simple rectifier to convert ac line voltage to dc. 12vdc won't be enough voltage to run a 130vdc motor.. rectified line voltage is close enough (110-125vac rectified to dc) 130vdc is an odd voltage for most gearmotors... most of them run at 90vdc.
Here is a starting point for a AC - DC drive http://www.kbelectronics.com/Variabl...es_Chassis.htm, not sure if you are looking for a pre built unit or want to make your own. Search for 115AC to 130VDC motor drives and you should be able to find one to fit your budget.
I converted a DC gearmotor to AC for my mill. I'm at work and do not remember all the specifics, pretty sure my motor is 130 volt Bodine. However, I'll poke around my stuff when I get home and PM you details. Essentially, you need to find an isolation transformer. This will protect you and the motor. I found one that dropped the 120V to 90V AC because the voltage increases when converting to DC (something about peak voltages -- essentially 90VAC * square root of 2= 127VDC). Then I ran that output thru a RadioShack bridge rectifier to get to DC, and added in a capacitor to smooth out the voltage. end result - that thing turns slow, (rated speed was 60RPM) but it will crush rocks! Super torque.
Thanks for the responses. After some probing on the internet and looking at some of the answers to my questions I have come to the terms that it's too hard to find a 130v dc motor control. Plus if there is one out there then it will be too cost effective for my budget. So, I was able to replace the 130v dc motor with a 90v dc motor. Which is not too bad and plus it has more torque. Now I still hafta find a way to get a 120v ac to 90v dc motor control. So far i have found one on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/Input-AC110V-Out...efaultDomain_0 Features: 1. Input power supply: AC110V 50/60Hz 2. Output: DC0-90V 120W. 3. Dimension: 100 x 60 x 112mm (3.9 x 2.4 x 4.4 inch) 4. Cut size: 82 x 54 mm (3.5 x 2.1 inch) Who knows maybe I can make one and save some dinero. Anyone have a suggestion? Rob
I use the KB Electronics DC drive model KBMM-125, 90VDC with 1/2 and 1 HP motors. My cost was $87.00 and will work with your 130VDC motor except your motor will not reach full speed. The nice thing about the controller, comes with current limiting, IR compensation, Min and Max speed adjustment. KBWT-110 or 112 is a 130 VDC drive controller. One of my project pictures. Cheers, ClaudiusB
Go cheap look for a used 1, 1 1/2 or 2 HP threadmill motor as they come up as failed weight loss items even curbside finds. These motors have a LED shutter wheel for constant rpm control no matter the motor torque demanded. This with the electronic set speed control panel you can build a solid rpm controlled high HP mill motor rather cheap or even free. These motors also have a flywheel with the fan as a cast unit plus poly belt drive. Run this to a jackshaft then to the mill removing mill bushing radial side loading, LoveJoy direct coupling. Function before money and beauty, JMO.

White sand of Hainan the winner
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIJING (Reuters) - The winner of the Olympic beach volleyball might just be Hainan province. The tropical island off China's southern coast provided the 17,000 tonnes of sand shipped to Beijing for the Olympics, and if the athletes' first reactions are anything to go by, it is quickly winning new fans.
"This sand is fabulous. It's so soft it tickles your feet," said U.S. defending champion Kerri Walsh, who has competed on many of the world's most famous beaches.
Brazilian-born Cristine Santanna, who now plays for Georgia, said it was like performing on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro despite the sand lying in huge pits in the centre of a crowded city rather than at home on the shores of the South China Sea.
The sand used for beach volleyball is strictly regulated by the international federation -- no stones or shells, not too coarse nor too compact, nor too fine so it does not stick to players' bodies.
China had just the answer.
Last year, the luxuriously soft sand was shoveled into bags on the palm-fringed beaches of Hainan, nicknamed "China's Hawaii" despite being far less developed as a tourist centre than its U.S. namesake.
It was then shipped from China's island province to Tian Jin, piled on to trucks, driven to Beijing and tipped out in the Chaoyang stadium and practice courts, where it is hosed and raked regularly to keep it from packing down too densely.
Former Olympic champion Karch Kiraly agreed the sand was something quite special even if the 12,200-seat stadium could not match the beauty of the 2000 Olympics when the beach volleyball was held on the sprawling sands of Bondi Beach.
"The sand is phenomenal," he said. "It's a lot better than in Greece. In Sydney, the court was by a beach. If it's not by a beach, this is the best."

Australia busts 585kg 'ya ice' shipment
- Published: 28/02/2013 at 08:10 AM
- Online news:
SYDNEY: A Singaporean and a man from Hong Kong have been arrested in connection with an unprecedented methamphetamine seizure in Australia that was almost double the previous record, police said Thursday.
Photo provided by the Australian Federal Police shows the 585kg of crystal methamphetamine produced in the Golden Triangle and known in Thailand as ya ice.
Police said the pair, aged 32 and 51, were arrested along with a 21-year-old Australian man in raids on six properties across Sydney Wednesday that netted more than half a tonne of crystal methamphetamine, a drug known as "ice" on the streets.
The 585-kilogramme haul was estimated to have a street value of Aus$438 million (US$448 million, or 13.4 billion baht).
"This is the largest single seizure of ice in Australian law enforcement history and almost doubles the previous record seizure of 300 kilogrammes in July 2012," police said in a statement.
The drugs were found in a shipment of cleaning chemicals from Shenjing in southern China following a tip-off to the Asian crime squad in September.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Tony Negus said the sophisticated syndicate went to "considerable lengths to escape detection" and the authorities had not ruled out further arrests, either in Australia or overseas.
"We've already been in contact with authorities in China and a range of further inquiries are under way," said Negus.
Andrew Scipione, police commissioner of New South Wales state, said it was "very fortunate that somebody took the time to make that phone call."
"This is the sort of drug that sends people mad," he said of the extremely addictive stimulant that can trigger erratic and violent behaviour.
The three arrested men, who will appear in a Sydney court Thursday, face life in prison and/or a Aus$1.275 million fine for commercial drug possession.
The previous record seizure of 306kg came during a probe into a Hong Kong-linked international drugs syndicate that resulted in seven arrests - four of whom were natives of the former British territory.
The drugs had been stashed in terracotta pots in a shipment from Thailand.
More recently, Australian police in November seized 235kg methamphetamine hidden inside a consignment of heavy machinery from China.

Should Registered Gun Owners have to be identified in your Neighborhood?
Should your gun totting neighbors be listed in a National Data Bank like Child Molesters, along with gun & ammo information? Do you know what weapons your neighbor has? What ammo he has available? What if a round goes through a wall and kills your child in your home or yard? Do you let your child go play in a gunners home with his children? Their was 5,740 children and teens killed by guns in 2008 & 2009. Do gun owners need a sign in their yard to identify them as the threat they potentially could be to your family?
And would this lead to signs saying, "Home of a Proud Patriotic Gun Owner" signs being posted? Would it actually increase gun users in the neighborhood.

A sexual predator is a convict who was convicted and served time in prison for a sexual crime and is considered likely to re-offend. A gun owner is a regular citizen, usually law abiding, who has committed no crime. I keep my firearms locked up in accordance with state law and am well trained in firearm safety (a state required course for permit to purchase handgun).
I am no threat to children. This is an absolute non-starter for me. If I will be compared or treated as a criminal (child rapists, really?!), I intend to intensely oppose registration. |

i would, because that person is more than likely a responsible person, and a responsible gun owner. people tend to stereotype the average gun owner as being some redneck from the hills or a criminal. The majority of gun owners are responsible law abiding citizens. there are roughly 4 million gun owners in the US and there are only 36,000 homicides committed with guns. i realize 36,000 is 36,000 too many, but my point is still valid. gun owners are not criminals nor should they be classified and registered like sex offenders. what's next? are we going to make people who carry pocket knives register them? people with box cutters who have factory or shipping jobs? a gun is a tool, and in the proper hands used for what it was intended for, just like a hammer, an axe, or any other tool.

46. My real point is that gun storage should not be allowed in private residences anywhere,
except maybe out on the farm or a remote cabin in the woods. Gun owners should be required to store their guns in depots, whether it's gun safes at the shooting range or maybe at their bank or other public spaces that only the registered owner can check out the guns and specify what they will be used for and what period they will be used for before being returned to the depot. I don't think Adam Lanza would have had access to his mother's guns then that easily.

72. Well, a quick google will disprove your assertion.
Look up Switzerland, one armed nation in the world other than us. They actually require that guns be kept in a depot. It used to be that those military grade weapons were kept in the home because that was their citizens standing militia, something I wish we did here, however, even the Swiss decided it's best to keep those arms out of private residences.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/12/14/mythbusting-israel-and-switzerland-are-not-gun-toting-utopias/ For instance, in Israel, theyre very limited in who is able to own a gun. There are only a few tens of thousands of legal guns in Israel, and the only people allowed to own them legally live in the settlements, do business in the settlements, or are in professions at risk of violence.
Both countries require you to have a reason to have a gun. There isnt this idea that you have a right to a gun. You need a reason. And then you need to go back to the permitting authority every six months or so to assure them the reason is still valid. The second thing is that theres this widespread misunderstanding that Israel and Switzerland promote gun ownership. They dont. Ten years ago, when Israel had the outbreak of violence, there was an expansion of gun ownership, but only to people above a certain rank in the military. There was no sense that having ordinary citizens would make anything safer. Switzerland has also been moving away from having widespread guns. The laws are done canton by canton, which is like a province. Everyone in Switzerland serves in the army, and the cantons used to let you have the guns at home. Theyve been moving to keeping the guns in depots. That means theyre not in the household, which makes sense because the literature shows us that if the gun is in the household, the risk goes up for everyone in the household. Oh, and here's a really old BBC article that explains how the Swiss view that gun ownership. It's not that every asshole in Switzerland has a right to a gun. It's because he's required to have one as part of his military duty. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/1566715.stm There are many other articles and wiki pages about this. |

68. "5,740 children and teens killed by guns in 2008 & 2009"...
is a misleading number when placed in the proper the context of your post
Of that number, 308 were "accidental or undetermined" (%5.36). 3,892 were homicides. Tell you what... I'll agree to a National Database of Gun Owners (and I'm assuming this would be easily accessible by the public), only if a national Database of Convicted Felons is established first (easily accessible by the public). I'll put a "Warning... Home Owner Possess Firearms" sign on my front lawn, the day I see a sign reading "Entering High Crime (or Gang Activity), Area" posted in applicable neighborhoods. |

80. No I find it apropos because it tweaks those who's undies are way too tight on some of this
I expect a similar sign may go up in Westchester County where the map outed the neighbor of one of the editors, IIRC. That editor has been having a serious bad week.
If you did threaten or physically attack that neighbor, it would make you no better than those who threatened and initiated violence for other slights, real or imagined. It might even get you put in jail or killed. Hot heads are such easy pickings... |

84. Your conditional if is in the realm of fantasy.....do you always create your own reality?
I never said anything about threatening or physically attacking a neighbor. It's telling, on a couple of fronts, that this is what you came up with from what I posted. First, everything you say here should be suspect, because you're making things up as you go along. Second, I'm not some guntard fuckwit, and as such, I don't go around communicating threats. But I still promise, if my neighbor were stupid enough to put that sign in his yard, he'd be very sorry he did. See how that works? No threat was communicated, no threat is needed. In fact, my neighbor is a pretty nice guy, but we were talking hypothetically, you and I. And in that hypothetical, it would be a singularly bad idea for a neighbor of mine to point such a sign toward my house. That will be all.

Gathering the data and making it subject to legitimate law enforcement efforts is far more important than it being open to the public. |

99. Luckily, I do not live in a state/city with a registration scheme...
Frankly, it's none of their business.
Following Hurricane Ike, and two weeks without power, I have a very good idea of which of my neighbors have firearms and at least some of what types of firearms they have. Some I knew or suspected had firearms, some surprised me. These neighbors have proven themselves over the years to be responsible in their gun ownership and usage, so I am not overly concerned about the likelihood of stray rounds and for my part, the designated "home defense" firearm is loaded with #3 buck so as to avoid the issue of overpenetration. Yes, I let my children, when they were younger, play in their homes, just as their friends play(ed) at mine, now that my children are over the age of 16 and both drive, I don't generally tell them who they may or may not "play with" or where. This desire to know everything about one's neighbors by state monitoring is dangerous and I do not support it. |

LeBron James making greatness look easy
FEB 11, 2013 2:36p ET
MIAMI — Did Michelangelo get better after painting the Sistine Chapel? Did Beethoven improve after his Fifth Symphony?
So that begs the question I asked
LeBron James: Has he gotten even better after the Year of LeBron?
"That's for you guys to dictate or to write about or say if I'm having a better season than I had last year,'' said James, the 2012 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year.
Since James is welcoming outside opinion, the answer is yes. While it wouldn't end up being the case if his
Miami Heat fail to repeat as NBA champions, so far James has been even better than he was when he won this third MVP award last season.
James lately has been playing the best ball of his 10-year career. Over the past five games, he's shot 55 of 77 for 71.4 percent while averaging 31.0 points. That includes one insane stretch from the fourth quarter at Toronto on Feb. 3 until the third quarter Sunday against the
Los Angeles Lakers in which he made 42 of 52 shots.
Put it all together and James' field-goal percentage has risen from 53.1 last season to an astounding 56.2, in line to be a career best. While his scoring has dipped a tad, from 27.1 to 27.0, his assist average is up from 6.2 to 6.9 and his rebounding from 7.9 to a career-high pace of 8.1. He's raised his 3-point percentage from 36.2 to 42.1, also in line to be a career best.
James is playing so well that even Lakers star
Kobe Bryant is in awe. All Bryant could do after his team's 107-97 loss to the Heat was gush about James' recent play.
"It's sensational,'' Bryant said. "He seems to have a lot of confidence in his jumper, which opens up the rest of his game… We all know about his passing ability and his ability to finish at the rim. I think he's working on his game, and he's added things to his game, which makes him even tougher.''
Bryant said the 6-foot-8, 250-pound (at least that's his listed weight) James has figured out "how to use his size.'' He compared him to a certain 6-8 Lakers icon.
"With his size, he can look over the defense like Magic (Johnson) could,'' Bryant said.
During James recent hot stretch, it's been quite evident the two parts of his game that have improved so much: His post moves and 3-point shot.
When James shot 13-of-14 Feb. 4 against Charlotte, he bullied the Bobcats by taking every shot inside the paint. But in his next two games, against Houston and the Los Angeles Clippers, James stepped outside to shoot a combined 7-of-11 from beyond the arc.
"His game is getting better, and that's scary,'' said Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni.
James on Monday was a no-brainer choice for his fourth Eastern Conference Player of the Week selection of the season. That award actually takes into account just his last four games.
James on Sunday became the first Miami player in the 25-year history of the franchise to score 30 points in five straight games. He also joined Adrian Dantley (1979-80) and Moses Malone (1981-82) as the only players in NBA history to have scored 30 points in five straight games while also shooting 60 percent or better from the field.
But Dantley rarely shot 3-pointers, which can hamper field-goal percentage. Neither did Malone, who feasted upon layups and dunks.
James, with the exception of the Charlotte game, has stepped out regularly for jumpers during his streak. He's 9 of 15 from 3-point range in the five games, which is 60.0 percent.
"I say this to Miami fans, don't take it for granted,'' said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. "He's making greatness look easy.''
It's become a challenge for Spoelstra each game to try to come up with new superlatives to describe James' play. He said James lately has been playing in the same manner he did late in last year's regular season and playoffs.
But can James sustain this level for an entire regular season? There's plenty of indication he can.
While James' last five games really have been in the spotlight, his consistency throughout the season has been astounding. Out of 48 games, he's scored below 20 points just once. He's shot below 50 percent just eight times.
Forget about all of those individual numbers, though. The only stat James claims he pays attention to is the Heat being 34-14, including having won all five games during his magnificent stretch.
"All I care about is us winning,'' James said. "That's the No. 1 thing is us winning… It's not about everything else, the individual… It's about the team. Whatever you guys write, you guys will figure it out as far as my individual game.''
Unfortunately for James, he doesn't have in 2013 another Olympics he can win. But all signs so far are he's bound for an even better year.

Lake Capital rejects demands of Engine's rebel shareholders
Lake Capital, the private equity company set to buy Engine, has refused to improve its offer to ex-employee shareholders.
Engine Group: (l-r) Martin, Eiserman, Graunke, Kooyman, Klein and Scott
The group was angered that they were being made to sell their shares in the business and given a lower value per share than current employees.
But Lake Capital has not entered into negotiations with the group and has refused to change its offer. It is believed that Lake Capital does not want any ex-employees, some of which currently work for rival companies, to be shareholders.
A spokesman for Engine said: "The deal is proceeding as expected. The board is confident of a satisfactory outcome."
Shareholders have to accept or reject the offer this week. Engine needs 75 per cent of shareholders to accept its offer for the deal to go through.
It was announced on 30 July that Engine had agreed to sell to Lake Capital in a deal that values the business at just under £100 million.
The management and staff will take shareholdings in a new combined group with Lake Capital's other investments – the research company ORC International and the entertainment company Trailer Park.
Under the plans Peter Scott, the group chief executive of Engine, will become the vice-chairman and head of global strategy for the new group. Terry Graunke, Lake's chairman and co-founder, will be the executive chairman.
Debbie Klein, Rick Eiserman and Simon Kooyman will continue in their roles as the chief executive of Engine UK, Trailer Park and ORC respectively. John Bernbach remains president of Engine USA. Ashley Martin, Engine's group chief finance officer, will retain his position in the new entity.
A spokesman for Engine declined to comment on recent reports that Engine could merge with the ailing PR conglomerate Huntsworth, following the exit of chief executive Lord Chadlington.
A complete buyout of Huntsworth would heavily skew Engine's marcoms portfolio towards PR. Huntsworth is a UK-listed PR group that includes the Red Consultancy, Citigate Dewe Rogerson, Grayling and Huntsworth Health.
Instead, it is more likely that Engine may be interested in certain parts of the group if Huntsworth was to be broken up. Huntsworth Health would be attractive, as would any business that would help Engine grow in Asia or the US.
Huntsworth has a strategic alliance with Chinese PR group BlueFocus, which paid £36.5 million for a 19.6 per cent stake in 2013.
Graunke has been an independent non-executive director of the Huntsworth since May 2012.

Mystical Spell Save the Date Magnets These save the dates are beautiful. Easy to personalize and just lovely. I received them in about two weeks and they came in a beautiful box. The presentation from this company is fantastic. I also purchased the matching carrier cards. Very happy so worth it.
Great price good quality
Mystical Spell Save the Date Magnets Great job with the magnet but I thought they threw in a couple freebies... Which would of been nice, but by the time I got to the second batch I realized there were a few mistakes from the printer. I wish they were separated so I would of know but they were random. Now I have no idea what guess is going to get a botched save the date, so just be careful. But on a good note the good one were perfect :)

Huey Lewis' Pinneapple Express Theme Song Revealed!
Movie Music By Neil Miller on July 2, 2008 | (10) CommentsWhen we spoke with Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green back in April, he was glowing when he described to us the awesome brilliance that was the film's theme song, created by Huey Lewis. And though he refused to give us a little preview, he did say that it would be awesome. Since then we have been waiting on the edge of our collective computer chair to hear this damn song — and today is the day.
The song, performed by Huey Lewis and the News has been launched over on the Pineapple Express Soundtrack MySpace page, along with a bunch of other cool songs from the soundtrack. They also give a listing of songs that will appear:
Huey Lewis, Cypress Hill, Peter Tosh and Public Enemy all on the same soundtrack? In a stoner comedy from David Gordon Green and Judd Apatow, starring Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and James Franco… Oh yeah, this one is going to rock out pretty hard. If you aren't getting a little pumped for Pineapple Express, you might be in need of a doctor's visit. Have a listen to some of the tracks off of the soundtrack over at the Pineapple Express Soundtrack MySpace Page or it's Facebook Page.
Pineapple Express hits theaters on August 8th.
What do you think of the Huey Lewis theme song for Pineapple Express? Is it everything you wanted it to be?

But in a nice way.
'Cause I'm finally a member of the HK P7 cult!
I purchased this P7 over at Gunsamerica.com. The seller was John Zephir at Zephir's Sportsman's Supply & Equipment. This purchase was my first (and very positive) experience on Gunsamerica.
I purchased this gun on my birthday (or at least I placed the order) and received it on Friday.
The gun feels great in my hands and the Euro bottom magazine release doesn't bother me. It's just going to be whole new manual-of-arms I will have to get used to.
Now for a nice cleaning (and checking of the piston, gas port and extractor which all look good after field stripping the gun)....I wish it came with more than one magazine. They are still available from some sites I see for between $50-60 dollars.
Here's the original sale posting:
I will shoot the gun this week (Hurricane Wilma permitting).
I already see a hard chroming job, night sights and Nills wooden stocks in her future!
Any other P7 owners out there?

WARNING: Stay somewhere else in Ventura.
Posted Jan 6, 2015Pros: I recently had knee surgery and seeing that they had an elevator so I didn't have to walk up stairs to my room was a plus.
Cons: Everything is in need of improvement. Spills in the breakfast area were not cleaned for days and customer services need to be addressed.
Location: Close to downtown Ventura, but the homeless presence there hindered any enjoyment with walking to Main St. Couldn't wait to leave the area.
My first night I was placed in a different room than I had reserved. It was next to the "utilities" room which was making my bed shake all night long. No towels were provided and the balcony was looking onto a wall and fence, no daylight to speak of. I was changed to my desired room the next morning from this dark hole. Over the course of my stay, 10 days, my room was not cleaned and no new towels were provided on three separate occasions. I mentioned this to the night manager each night I found an unmade bed and was given an excuse for the maid each time. Somehow they had a record of the room being made up but it wasn't true. Twice dirty wash rags used to clean the bathrooms were left on the bathroom counter by the maid. And no additional blanket was provided by the staff when the weather turned chilly and I asked for an extra layer of comfort. I had my son lend one from his home for me to use each night. When there weren't enough guest in the hotel they kept some of their breakfast items hidden away and on two separate occasions the morning manager had to chase some vagrant / homeless people away from the breakfast buffet. They wandered into the hotel when no one was visible at the front desk and were able to make use the atrium area. These sorry folk were sleeping in the park outside the hotel and bathing in the fountain about 30 yards from the entrance of the building. I really worried about my safety when parking at night in the adjoining lot. Stay away!!!

Not bad, close to everything
Posted Jan 2, 2015Location: You're right next door to a pretty cool local bar called The Tavern, and then you're 2-3 blocks from everything else downtown Ventura has to offer.
I'm from Ventura, recently moved away but came back for New Years Eve and stayed here to be close to everything in Downtown. It's a decent little Inn, cozy rooms, some have fireplaces and balcony's and they're nice. Our room was missing the key for the gas fireplace and also the knobs for the AC/heating which was kind of annoying but the staff got it fixed up for us. Room was as expected, it was clean and the place definitely has a little charm to it. I'd stay there again.

New Owner
Posted Dec 30, 2014Pros: The location.
Cons: Everything. After the first night of a two night stay I talk to the desk clerk about many issues that needed attention. Nothing was done, not one.
Location: The downtown location is great except for the many homeless people in the area.
This hotel received good reviews in the past but it now has a new owner. According to his own staff he is more interested in collecting money than the comfort of his customers. I really wanted to be able to stay there on my next trip, the location is perfect for my needs, but after two days it was impossible to ignore the many problems. The location and price are NOT worth it! The following did not work; room key on outside doors, room clock, room phone, no ice bucket, drapes in bad condition, shower had long black hair in it, shower leaked, toilet ran. Had to ask for milk at breakfast. All items were reported to the desk clerk after the first night. She said I could fill out a Customer Survey that was in my room. When I returned to my room for the second night my key did not work. Not one item I had reported that morning had been fixed.

clock tower hotel
Posted Dec 23, 2014Pros: Quiet and right down town
Cons: more rooms with fireplaces
Location: good food, farmers market on Saturdays lots of shopping, dancing, ocean
I stay here often nice place good price and quiet. Ocean, shopping and places to dance
by A verified travelerfrom LA
Decent place, rude staff.
Posted Dec 6, 2014I stayed at the clock tower for 4 nights. The hotel is in decent shape with a close proximity to downtown. Plenty of restaurants and shopping. Unfortunately the cleaning service forgot to straighten my room one day and when I returned I called the desk to alert them to the fact and to not complain but to request clean towels be brought to the room since they had been taken and not replaced. The woman was so rude and literally acted as it was my fault. Completely rude and unapologetic. One of the older gentleman who worked at the desk and who was probably the owner was a complete jerk as well. But to be fair there were a couple employees, the groundskeeper in particular was very pleasant. All in all the staff needs an attitude adjustment.

A little piece of paradise to Main St., Ventura
Posted Nov 11, 2014Pros: Location is great for downtown Ventura.
Cons: TV wasn't working. Our first room didn't have any lock to the patio or knobs on the air conditioning unit. (Room 217)
Location: Location is great for thrift stores on Main Street. We had a lovely lunch very close to hotel. It is really close to pier and beach for walking.
We have stayed here before. Our first room didn't have a lock on door to patio or knobs for air conditioner. They transferred us to a downstairs room that was fine. However, when we arrived really late, the TV wasn't working. They offered to come and fix it at 11 pm but I said no..too late. We never did have any tv. The breakfast was fine and has a beautiful setting, especially with rain. Overall, this room was bigger than the last time we stayed here. It is a great location if you want to walk Main Street and shop.

Great central location to shops and restaurants.
Posted Nov 10, 2014The Clocktower has seen better days though some of the old charm still shines through. The balcony rooms are better. Had some noisy drunk neighbors very late at night.

death flag
the pills are white, pale blue
such soothing colors.
Why did nobody tell me:
death is not black, but a
palette. A pastel promise
of relief as you give up
each belief.
There is no turning back.
The decision is made.
Death's handmaid, you know
your art cold. The lockbox
combination. Guard it with
your life.
The day has not arrived.
You wait for some occassion.
A safe distance. No savior
in sight. The knight has fallen.
All you see now is death,
a horse charging at you, white.
White, white and furious.
