I LOVE LOVE LOVE this rug! The rug arrived today (two days earlier than scheduled) and it's absolutely beautiful!, As other reviewers have said, for those of us who spend much of our summer barefooted, it's a bit scratchy underfoot, but that in no way affects how really great looking it is. The colors are perfect for its surroundings in living room, and I'm looking forward to a long life together!

Great value These worked perfectly for my needs. Please note these are rough on your feet if barefooted. They are not a rug to lie down on. If they cost more, I would have passed on them but they work for the price.

Beautiful Design - Very muted colors We bought this rug to use in our breakfast area. The size and design were very much as depicted online, however, be aware that the colors in this rug are much more muted than they appear to be online. Overall, it is a beautiful rug at a good price point, and if you are looking for something very muted with very subdued hues, this will be a good choice.

Very nice rug! This is an interesting floor covering which could also serve as a wall hanging. It's definitely a ice quality jute fabric with colors which are more muted and subtle than the photo. The colors are perhaps more orangey red than blue red. It makes a very nice decorative addition to any room you'd care to use it in. Have gotten very positive comments from friends and family.

Lightweight but lovely wool/jute rug I had read the reviews before I purchased this rug. I knew it was going to be lightweight. The colors were a little more muted that I was expecting, however, I like it and it fits right in with my decor. I am using it in my den. Had thought I might use it in my dining room, but it looks better in the den. It changes up the room and makes it feel warmer. It came quickly and in a smaller box than I had expected. I would recommend this rug. I have it over my carpet. I can see if it was put directly over a hard floor, it would definitely need a rug pad.

Excellent Rug at an Excellent Price I am so happy with this rug. It was heavier than I expected for a flat weave and while it is not super soft like a 100% wool rug would be I like the addition of the jute because it is going in a high traffic area of my home. The colors are not as bright as I had hoped, especially the blue which is more like a dark slate grey, but it still is a beautiful rug. It will work excellently with my whole bohemian funky mismatchy look that I'm going for in my place. I would of expected to pay at least $100 more for this rug in any store.

Beautiful jute rug! This rug is so beautiful! I had one in 5 X 8 and thought I was getting another 5 X 8, but, received a 6 x 9 rug! It's larger and more of a presence in my large living room. Now, I have the 5 X 8 in my den. It's wonderful to have 2 rugs that match. And, what a bonus, to have received a larger size! (Which isn't even available online!) Thanks Overstock for a happy little accident!

Valiant Hearts isn't your usual war game. You won't be blasting through thousands of bad guys like BJ Blazkowitz, you won't be commanding an entire army like an over-the-top Command & Conquer general. Valiant Hearts is incredibly story focused, as it considers itself more of a playable comic book than a video game. It's also about World War I, which hasn't exactly been a popular subject for video games.
This trailer is for the PC and console version, but the mobile version looks very similar.
If you've been following the gaming news at all, you know that the biggest release of the week is the latest iteration of Ubisoft's sandbox shooter Far Cry. The fourth game moves the action to the Himalayan country of "I Can't Believe It's Not Tibet," and tasks you with leading a ragtag army of rebels against an oppressive and tyrannical dictator. (Seriously, still not Tibet.) Ubisoft can't make a big-budget game without releasing a mobile counterpart, so say hello to Far Cry 4 Arena Master.
Assassin's Creed Unity is the first entry in the series that won't be available for last-gen consoles, having been developed to take advantage of the extra power introduced by the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. This time the franchise heads to Paris and takes place during the French Revolution. While the core gameplay should look familiar to fans, the latest release introduces cooperative multiplayer that should extend the longevity of the experience.
There have been a few releases of the modern style of music and dancing games on Android, like Guitar Hero. Of course, they're somewhat limited by the nature of the platform - use rhythm and timing all you want, but you're still basically limited to taps and swipes. Ubisoft has found a way around that for its lucrative Just Dance series: it uses your phone as a basic controller for the browser version of the game, Let's Dance Now.
After toying around with Assassin's Creed Pirates' price tag over the past few months, Ubisoft has decided to drop it entirely. The game contains in-app purchases that raise revenue through other means, but now players are empowered to hop in and start sailing without having to pay a cent.
Ubisoft has also updated the app with a "Cold Blood" chapter that leaves behind the warm Caribbean for the frigid Arctic Seas.
Ubisoft's Trials series has been hitting the track for years now, challenging players to perform fantastical tricks atop their motorbikes while hurtling through the air. The franchise has typically stuck to PCs as Java and flash games, but later versions have made the jump to consoles. Now the first mobile release has exited limited geo beta and is now available for all.
The game's challenge derives from its off the wall physics-based tracks, as navigating them alone can be difficult enough without the pressure of building up high scores.
Trials is a series of motocross games that takes a liberal approach to sports and, incidentally, gravity. The latest full release, Trials Fusion, saw an iOS counterpart called Trials Frontier. This slightly more cartoony take on the long-running series features the same physics-based racing and orientation gameplay - imagine it as a single-lane, dialed-up version of Excitebike. The Android version was just released, but only in certain locations. We're not sure where, we just know that it isn't the US.
I grew up in the sticks, and while I've heard most words in the English language butchered in at least three different ways, I've never heard anyone pronounce horse remotely like Howrse. Even after acknowledging that the Howrse community has been around since 2005, it's hard for me to imagine an origin for this name that didn't involve making a typo and sticking with it.
But at this point, what does it matter?
Yarr, matey. Are ye ready to set sail for adventure and plunder on the waves? Assassin's Creed Pirates has arrived on Android as promised, and it's brimming with high seas adventure and impressive visuals.
You play a pirate captain searching for fame and fortune in the hulls of defeated enemies. The first vessel under your command is a modest one, but being a successful pirate will let you move up in the world.

Dressing up...
I always tought it is such a cliche.
The flamenco dresses , beautifull dark haired
girls...colorfull , flamboyant....
It is not! Spanish girls have got a lot of flair.
They dare to be colorfull , elegant.
It is quit a feast for the eye to see them
at festive activities. This picture is taken
after the wedding service.
I loved to see them. -
Let's get married
Saturday seemed to be the day
to get married. In every chuch we walked in
we saw at least one wedding. ;-)
During the afternoon when everybody hides
in twon we were relaxing in the parc
'campo grande'. After the church that is the
next stop. I saw this bossy woman in a
turkois costume telling the newlyweds
how to pose and a young guy dragging this
huge middleaged camera with him...
I asumed the lady was the mother in law.
But no , she was the photographer...
It took her ages to get the picture..
A little wind blew some drops on the couple...
That was when I took the picture ,
with my fast digital camera'
What do you think? -
With hair...
I've seen it before in Spain ,
but it still looks weird. You don't see it
in the north of Europe.
An anonymous castellano made this
statue of Jezus with real hair.
It looks really weird to me.
Can be seen in the little but nice
museum of the cathedral. -
free treat
When you have a drink in one of the bars
or outside on the terraces you will often
be offered a free tapas.
"tapas' is a little snack and can be
everything. Amixture of ognions and gherkins,
a tomato with and ansjovy , a little toast with
baked egg... everything is possible.
And the strange thing is , we found all the
prices quit cheap. Is it because this city
escapes mass tourisme? -
the postman always thinks twice...
before putting his hand in this thing.
No , it isn't the postman who should think ,
this is the letterbox at the main post office
to send letters around Spain.
I think it is fantastic to do it this way.
The postoffice can be found on the
'plaza Rinconada'
If you need stamps keep in mind they
also close in the afternoon and open
in the evening. -
The last week of April and until the second of
mai there was this sand sculpture festival
going on. It appears to be a tradition.
Very nice in the evening to see the artists at
work on the 'Plaza Mayor'.
The sculptures also gets lighted...and a

Dr. King 'wanted us to move from chaos to community'
Rev. Dr. Reginald Davis (above left) was the keynote speaker at the 10th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast on Monday at Immanuel Baptist Church in Saluda. Looking on next to Rev. Davis is master of ceremonies Vincent Carter and minister Davelin Gresham, president of the Middlesex NAACP. (Photo by Tom Chillemi) |

"Then and Now . . . Keeping the Dream Alive" was the theme of the 10th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast held Monday, January 19, at Immanuel Baptist Church, Saluda. The event was sponsored by Middlesex NAACP Chapter 7091.
Keynote speaker Rev. Dr. Reginald Davis, pastor of First Baptist Church in Williamsburg, brought audience members to their feet several times during his moving speech. He appealed to the audience to work to create community from chaos.
Rev. Davis drew parallels between Moses' death and the death of Dr. King in 1968. "When a great leader dies it creates a great void and apprehension among a people . . . chaos sometimes ensues and confusion sets in."
Without leadership, direction, plan and vision, and "certainly without God, the people perish," said Rev. Davis. "We don't have to look too far to see we are perishing as a people. Regardless of the small success of a few, by and large, black America is in a crisis.
"Now I want to acknowledge that there has been a change since the 1960s Civil Rights struggle. But there is a difference between a change and a correction. Not every change is a correction," Rev. Davis emphasized. "Until the system of oppression is corrected, a change cannot be made without correcting the problem.
"Having a black face in public office won't correct the problem. Having a black man in the White House won't correct the problem. We must correct oppression . . . and the system—not just make a few changes," said Rev. Davis.
Dr. King tried to correct oppression, said Rev. Davis. "King insisted that unless America puts an end to the triple threat of poverty, racism and militarism, these triple evils will put an end to America."
King was just 39 when he was assassinated, Rev. Davis pointed out. "He would often say that it is not how long a man lives, but how well he lives that matters. The bullet that took his life, could not take his witness. His light still shines. His dream is in the hearts of freedom-loving people all over the world."
Rev. Davis quoted Robert F. Kennedy, who said, "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lots of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

US 3859502 A Abstract A system for defrosting large commercial refrigerator doors in which electrical heating means for heating the metal frames and/or the surface of the glass is turned off or on, depending upon whether the relative humidity is below or above a selected level.

Albritton Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Richard Morganstern [57] ABSTRACT A system for defrosting large commercial refrigerator doors in which electrical heating means for heating the metal frames and/or the surface of the glass is turned off or on, depending upon whether the relative humidity is below or above a selected level, 10 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures REFRIGERATOR DOORS James J. Heaney, Glendale, Calif. Assignee: Anthony s Manufacturing, San Fernando, Calif. [22] Filed: Feb. 11, 1974 [21] App]. No.: 440,988 [51] Int. [58] Field of Search...... [56] References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS 2,858,408 10/1958 Barroero......................... United States Patent 191 Heaney DEFROSTING SYSTEM FoR [75] Inventor: Patented Jan. 7,1975 5 Qv. MM PM Iii w a DEFROSTINGSYSTEM FOR REFRIGERATOR DOORS I FIELD OF THE INVENTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The self-service supermarkets which sell refrigerated foods frequently userefrigerated storage areas having metal framed glass doors for displaying the refrigerated products to the customer. Because the surface temperature of the metal frame, support structure and the glass door is reduced below ambient temperature by the refrigerated interior, moisture tends to condense out on the surface of these structural parts and the glass when the relative humidity reaches the dew point at the lower temperature of the. doors. One method of preventing the formation of undesired fog or frost on the refrigerator doors and pools of water from collecting on the floor has been to provide electrically resistive heaters, such as resistive wires mounted in the metal structural parts, and transparent resistive coatings placed on the glass to raise the surface temperatures of the glass and metal above the'dew point of the ambient air. However, continuous heating by this means is wasteful of electrical power'and'also increases the cooling load on the refrigerator or freezerunit. load on the refrigeratione'quipment. Specifically, it has been found that it isnot necessary to heat the door frame and/or glass continuouslybut only when the relative humidity of the ambient air, reaches the dew point at the surface of the unheated doors The present invention provides anfarrangement; which includes a humidity-sensitive element for sensing the relative humidity of the ambient air. A control circuit, responsive to the output of the humidity-sensitive element, operates to connect or disconnect the resistance heater elements of the door frame and/or glass from an electrical power source with changes in the relative humidity. Thus under low humidity conditions the power to some or all of the resistive heater elements is shut off and is only turned on when the abient relative humidity rises to a level where the surface of the door frame and/or glass is at the dew point and condensation begins to form on the doors. a BRIEF DESCRIPTION or THE DRAWINGS DETAILEDMDESCRIPTION Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral indicates generally the door of a refrigerator of thetype used in supermarkets for displaying and storing food products which must be kept under refrigeration. The ..'refrigerator door 10, supported in a metal door jamb ll, is 'provided with a glass area which typically is con- 1struc'ted-of two or three panes of glass with a dead air space between to reduce heat transfer. The two or more panes of glass 12 and 14 are mounted in a metal door frame 16. The door frame anddoor jamb are provided with a plurality of resistance wires 17. One of the panes of glass is coated with a very thin transparent electrically conductive layer for heating the surface of the glass in response to the flow of electrical current therethrorighHeated glass panels of this type are well known int he art. Electrical power is supplied to the resistive heating elements of the door 10 and the doorjamb from a standard 1 15 or 220 volt A.C. power source through a relay control switch 18 which is switched to its closed position by energizing of the associated relay coil 20. The relay coil 20 is energized from a control circuit which includes a power supply 22 connected across the 1 15 or 220 volt A.C. source. The power supply preferably includes a step-down transformer to supply a low voltage output that is isolated from the power source. The output of the power supply provides a voltage across one diagonal of a conventional resistance bridge 24. One leg of-theresistance bridge is provided by a humidity sensor element 26, which preferably is a humidity sensitive resistor made of sulfonated polystyrene, known as a Pope cell, such as described in the article Linearizing Relative Humidity Measurements by I George. Whitehaus, Instruments and Control Systems, September 1972, pages 72 and 73. A second leg of the bridge circuit 24 is a variable resistor 28 controlled by a rotatable knob 30. Theother diagonal of the bridge circuit 24 is connected as the input to a switching circuit 32, for example. The switching circuit 32 switches from one stable state to another with changes in polar ity of theinput. The output of the switching circuit 32 in turn actuates a'control relay 34 having a switch 36 for connecting the power relay coil 20 across the 1 15/220 volt A.C. source. The relay 34 is shown by way of example, but could be replaced by a semiconductor type switch or other sensitive switching means. A typical installation of the invention is shown in FIG. 2 in which the control circuit is mounted in a box 38, preferably mounted inside the refrigerator or freezer. Box 38 may be attached to the refrigerator door jamb 11 where the heater power wires emerge for connection to the power source. The humidity sensor 26 is mounted outside and preferably above the refrigerator door 10, the pair of leads from the sensor 26 passing through a small opening in the insulated wall 42 of the refrigerator above the door. The leads from the sensor 26 connect into the control circuit in the box 38 through a suitable plug connector 44. The control knob 30 extends outside the box 38 and preferably is provided with a scale of index markings calibrated in percent relative humidity. Typically the control knob 30 might be set to a relative humidity of 55 percent. Normally it should be adjusted to the highest relative humidity setting which maintains the refrigerator door free of undesirable moisture. Suitable electrical connections are provided selectively between the box 38 and the wires which supply power to the heated glass pane 12 and/or the heater wires in the door frame 16 and jamb 11. Connections are also provided from the control. box 38 to a suitable standard voltage source. a In operation, depending upon the. setting of the variable resistor 28 by the control knob 30, variations in humidity above and below the selected'level causes the switching-circuit to actuate therelay 34. When the humidity at the sensor is below the indicated level, the relay 34 opens the switch 36 thereby allowing the relay to become de-energized, opening the switch 18. This breaks the circuit to the heated wiring and window panel of the door. Any risein the humidityabove the preset level causes'th'e polarity across the output of the bridge to reverse, actuating the switching circuit 32 and glass in the refrigerator door only when the humidity increases above a preset level at which precipitation of moisture occurs. While the preferred embodiment includes the jamb, frame, and glass heating elements as part of the controlled load, it may be desirable in some installations to control only the heating elements in the metal frame and/or jamb, while continuously heating the glass. It will be apparent that other combinations of humidity controlled heating and continuous heating of the respective heating elements are also possible utilizing theconcepts of the invention. Additionally, although a preferred embodiment of a humdity-sensitive element has been described, the principles of the present invention can readily be practiced with other types and styles of such elements. 7 What is claimed is: l. Defrosting apparatus for display type refrigerator and freezer equipment having a door with a glass viewing area, comprising: electrical heating means associated with the door for heating portions of the door, a relative humidity-sensing element mounted outside the door for sensing ambient relative humidity, and control v isolating transformer connecting the means responsive to the humidity-sensing means for connecting the heating means to an electrical power source only whenthe relative humidity exceeds a predetermined level. v 2. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein the electrical heating means includes an electrically resistive coating on the glass viewing area, the control means connecting the coating to the power source. 3. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein the door includes a metal frame mounted in a metal jamb, and the electrical heating means includes a resistance element embedded in the frame, the control means connecting the resistance elements to the power source. 4. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein the door includesa metal frame mounted in a metal jamb, and the electrical heating means includes a resistanceelement embedded in the jamb, the control means connecting the resistance elements to the power source. 5. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein the door includes a metal frame mounted in a metal jamb, and the electrical heating means includesa resistance element embedded in the frame and jamb, the control means connecting the resistance elements to the power source. 6. Apparatus of claim 5 wherein the electrical heating means includes an electrically resistive coating on the glass viewing area, the control means connecting the coating to the power source. 7. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein the relative humidity-sensing element includes resistance means that varies in resistance in response to changes in relative humidity. 8. Apparatus of claim 7 wherein the control means includes a resistance bridge circuit with the sensing element resistance means connected as one leg of the bridge, and means for adjusting the resistance of a second leg of the bridge to vary the humidity level at which the bridge is balanced. 9. Apparatus of claim 8 wherein the control means further includes switching means responsive to the bridge circuit for making and breaking an electrical path to the heating means with unbalancing of the bridge by changes in resistance of the sensing element. 10. Apparatus of claim 9 wherein the control means furtherincludes a power supply having a lower voltage power supply to the power source. Patent Citations

VIDEO: Robert Jasper's Trad M12 Scarefest
In February, German alpinist Robert Jasper opened an exciting new four-pitch M12 WI5 trad mixed-climb on the Breitwangflue wall above Kandersteg, Switzerland. Jasper's route—Ritter der Kokosnuß (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)—is the direct line next to Jasper's Flying Circus (the world's first M10), which he established in 1998. The route has a crux pitch of naturally protected M12 climbing (using pegs, nuts, and friends), an M9 pitch and then finishes with a WI5 pitch.

Big Kuntry King - I Do ft. Young Dro & T.I.
Artist: Big Kuntry King
Producer: Nard & B
Album: Untitled Sophomore Album
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 36 votes )
Tomorrow, T.I. will attend a sentencing hearing to determine exactly how much time he will spend in federal prison (though he's expected to serve exactly one year, his extensive community service might shorten the sentence). As I've said before, Grand Hustle is stepping their game up in the meantime, so you can expect to see plenty of Booth features from their roster in the months ahead. The latest to hit our front page is Big Kuntry King. Hoping to rebound from My Turn to Eat's disappointing sales, Kuntry has enlisted his label's dynamic duo to once again stunt about everything I Do. As Young Dro gets his sing-rap flow on, Tip takes the title one step further, stating that he's married to the game. The highlight, however, is the beat by Nard & B (who will be showcased in an April "Behind the Booth" feature), which is sure to evoke comparisons to Polow da Don's boardwork on Rich Boy's smash-hit Throw Some D's. Though Kuntry's currently-untitled sophomore album currently has no release date, expect plenty more coverage in the coming months.

Seabrook driver indicted in September Hampton bicycle deaths
Prosecutors said in the new indictments that Hess was under the influence of Fentanyl, Klonopin, Percocet and Benzodiazepines while she was behind the wheel of her friend's 2002 Honda.
Hess was driving southbound along Route 1A around 8:30 a.m. when she veered the car over the double yellow line crashing into a group of bicyclists, according to prosecutors.
Two other cyclists, Uwe Uhmeyer, 60, and Margo Heigh, 54, also of Massachusetts, were also injured.
The crash happened hours after Hess had been stopped by police on the same road and ticketed for speeding and driving without a license.
Cindy Sheppard, who allegedly supplied her with the Fentanyl, has also been charged in the case.
She is facing a variety of charges for allegedly selling drugs from her home roughly two-and-a-half months before the crash.
Hampton police said Sheppard had 7.3 grams of heroin in her home, along with four ounces of cocaine and small quantities of crack cocaine, oxycodone, diazepam, methylone and marijuana.Sheppard is asking a judge to throw out all evidence seized from her home in that case, claiming that a pair of search warrants used to raid her home failed to cite any evidence of her dealing drugs.

The best way I know of to get a rare bird to fly the coop is to write about it. So by the time you see this article the two drake common goldeneyes that have been hanging out at Lake Junaluska for the past week or so will likely have vanished. But they have been consistently sighted along the shoreline on the "cross-side" of the lake a couple of hundred yards from the dam.

Southern Gardening: Peppers are hot for summer time landscapes
One of the latest trends in landscaping is to plant vegetables that provide ornamental interest, and peppers get my vote as one of the best choices.
The overall impact and adaptability of ornamental peppers was recognized in 2010, when Purple Flash pepper was named a Mississippi Medallion winner. Purple Flash ornamental pepper is one of the showiest peppers available today. The purple and white variegated leaves are visible from across the garden. Closer inspection reveals the leaves opening up white with purple ribs. As the leaves mature, they gradually become darker purple.

This hotel was a little hard to find, but once we found it I went in & talked to the Lady at the desk. She gave us our tokens & directed us to the underground Parking. We enjoyed parking there in the parking garage. There's an elevator & I guess we got there at the right moment. The Shuttle came & we was off to the Airport within 10 min of Checking in. On the way back we waited where the driver told us & about 15-20 min the Shuttle pulled up & took us back to our car. The whole process was quick & easy. The staff & shuttle drivers were very nice and I would recommend this for anyone who wants cheaper parking than the Airport Lots. PS. I put Good for the Parking Lot Attendants because there wasn't any?
If you use the default Maps app on your iPhone, it takes you to a construction place a couple miles south of the actual hotel. Make sure you use another map app (or are familiar with the location). The shuttle wait time was quick and compared to airport parking, the price is definitely worth it.
The service was fast and efficient.
This was a very easy process! The instructions were clear. The Courtyard was very welcoming and the parking could not have been easier or safer. I waited about 10 minutes for the shuttle, at both ends. I certainly would use this service and hotel parking again.
I just missed a shuttle when I came out of the airport. The next shuttle took awhile (25+ min) to return to the airport. We saw several other shuttles from other hotels and parking areas passed at least 2x. It was a little frustrating.
everything went well thanks
I waited for the shuttle for over 30 minutes and I was not happy. I saw other hotel shuttle buses passing by 3 times compared to your one pick up. There were still people waiting when I got on the shuttle. I recommend more than one shuttle bus on weekends. I do not know if I will use this company again,
It took 45 minutes to get the shuttle to come pick us up at Courtyard crystal city Va hotel. I saw over 10 shuttles picking up at the Hyatt just across the street. Not right. The poor pilot and two stewards were late for their flight. I had 37 minutes to go for my flight. 46 minutes is not right.
Great deal on parking. Great service in Courtyard by Marriott Crystal City. Great service by Marriott Shuttle to Washington National Airport. Very satisfied and will use again.
Easy and convenient! Thanks.
Easy and secure! Would definitely use it again!
Love this service. It saves $ and is especially convenient for DCA. I only with there were closer parking lots for IAD.
really appreciated shuttle driver who picked us up, even thought it was not his usual route, because previous two drivers were full. Nice customer service
This reservation worked out very well. The location is only a few minutes from DCA and the shuttle was available when we were ready to go. On our return to DCA we arrived quite late and saddly the shuttle stops running at 10 so we had to take a taxi..
Parking here was a breeze. Check-in at the front desk and ask for directions to the garage, park your car, come back up to the front desk and the shuttle will take you right over. Upon our return to the airport, the shuttle was there within 10 minutes.
We had never utilized this service before, and found it to be very convenient. I was a little bit confused about how to get into the parking lot, but when I walked into the lobby, the individual at check-in was very helpful. Overall, the wait was very quick for the shuttle and I felt that my car was in a safe location. I would highly recommend using this service and will be doing so in the future.
Driver dropped us off at baggage claim instead of departure check-in. Had to go to far end of floor, take elevator to 3rd floor and then walk to other end of terminal again.
Parking in your lot was very convenient to/from the airport. I definitely recommend it to all travelers! My only suggestion is for you to provide brightly colored tokens or something with a different shape. It's very easy to mix them up with your regular change. thank you
We never took flights out of Regan but this service made us rethink the decision. Everything worked perfectly.
Our flight was cancelled because of the wintry weather, so that experience was not good. The highlight though was using the airport parking at the Courtyard Crystal City. It was our first time trying this service, and we couldn't have been more impressed. Reading earlier reviewers' comments and the faq's on this website was very helpful though in knowing the procedure. The shuttle wait was only a few minutes. The driver did take us to the arriving flights area instead of departing, so we had to find our way around - but not a big deal. The parking garage was secure. Our wait for the shuttle wasn't that long on the way back (after we had 3 delays and were finally cancelled), a good thing since it was bitter cold and we were exhausted. Cancellation was easy with no hassles. Thank you for that. We'll definitely use again.

How about you? |
Apr 21, 2012, 07:46 AM | ||
Why? Because the kids that buy an inexpensive airplane/heli/whatever with no knowledge or experience & just go to a local park to fly it are not going to be AMA members. People buying aircraft that are way beyond their skill level is very common, and they never have ama membership. I talk myself out of a lot of sales unfortunately, but I don't want people wasting their money or endangering others. You would not believe the people that think they can learn on an EDF.. they obviously have done no research at all. So, it is inherent that non-AMA members have a higher proportion of un-safe flyers in their ranks. Even if it were only due to inexperienced, uninformed, irresponsible newbies; but, we all know there are also non-newbies out there that just don't care & wouldn't last 2 seconds in anyones flying club. |
Apr 21, 2012, 07:48 AM | |
By the way, back to the LHS thing....
The opposite of what I've been saying is also true. There are shops out there where the proprietor is a cranky, un-friendly & un-helpful stick in the mud. Don't reward them with your dollar, take it to someone who will appreciate your business! These are the kinds of guys we DONT want representing our hobby/industry. Regards, Bill |

At least Non-AMA type try to find a vacant pasture or school yard more often than not instead of at the target rich club flying field...and generally arent concerned about showing off their new toy...thats beyond their capability to fly...their concern is more about having a successful safe flight... So there! |

Well then, maybe you can explain why paying $58 to AMA automatically makes you a totally different modeler in regards to safety... Others here keep implying that but they fall short when asked how that is... I see no difference between non-AMAers and AMAers but you can probably bring me up to speed as you are much smarter than anyone else here. |

The most irresponsible and dangerous people I have flown with and seen fly are AMA members. 1) At a AMA club site I called plane down went to recover my plan and got buzzed at 10 ft off the deck directly over my head by a AMA member that got a kick out of doing that sort of thing. 2) Got to watch a AMA member startup and fly a size 90 heli at the local soccer park on a busy Sunday with people 50ft on either side of that death machine. 3) Or the "ace" 3D pilot with a big gasser plane at a AMA field that had NO REGARD for who else was flying, he expected you to stay out of the way of his plane. Even after he totally took out several planes. So you can take your condescending pro-AMA all clubs are safe attitude and keep it to yourself since you are wrong. There is another thing I like about you pro-AMA all club types your open all welcoming nature as long as trouble stays away from you. You're like people that send their kids to private schools that are all "safe" and high scores because they throw out anyone they don't like. Then those same people complain about other people that are still (in this case) flying and enjoying this hobby. I do wonder how many of you that that harp over and over and over again about parkflyers have ever flown with any. I get the feeling all this "knowledge" you have about people that are not in the AMA or clubs is all conversation from the choir as you sit around your club site. Suggest you actually get out of your comfort zone and actually meet the types of people you complain about. |

In all my years flying model airplanes I never heard anyone claim that ALL AMA members are perfect. There are also a few rotten apples in the AMA barrel as there are in most other groups. AMA membership comes from an imperfect group known as the human race. The same group that park flyers come from.
The difference being that AMA members have a code of conduct for lack of a better term and most members try to abide by it. This is not to say that park flyers are careless or not safety conscious. I do believe most are but because some are perhaps not as aware of safety issues as are AMA members or more experienced park flyers they might do things that shed a bad light on them. Then there are those who do things that are completely outrageous and who believe rules do not apply to them (you tube has some fine examples and there have been examples posted on these forums as well). AMA members or not these guys need to be reined in. This is a great hobby. There is enough room in it for both AMA members and non members. BM |
