The staff were friendly and efficient. The view was gorgeous. The location perfect.
The room was freezing...the shower barely able to deliver water.. No mini fridge... Wifi didn't work..door security was very poor, it was a thin door with a Yale lock but a large gap existed between the lock and the frame..access could have been gained with a knife or credit card to push back the Yale! Quite unnerving.

The drinks in the bar were very poor, the beer was flat as was all of the fizzy drinks
Poor water pressure in the shower. Bathroom was a bit tired Toilet was in an awkward position The whole hotel is looking a bit tired.
Friendly and helpful staff and good location.
Bedroom chilly- radiators on full. Insufficient sofas in lounge - on one night the two sofas hogged by local knitting group.
I was in room 300 and there was no wifi signal in my room. I booked this hotel after being assured there would be wifi in my room, so I was very disappointed and won't book here again.
The staff are really friendly, very nice room and a great bed. Booked for next week as well
I didn't get a chance to sample breakfast because I start work before the restaurant is open

Description This application is a divisional application of Ser. No. 420,879 filed Dec. 3, 1973, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,886,196, issued May 27, 1975; which was a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 329,557 filed Feb. 7, 1973, now abandoned; which was a continuation of Ser. No. 879,635 filed Nov. 24, 1969, now abandoned. This invention relates to the production of ω-aminonitriles from the corresponding lactams. In another aspect, it relates to unique magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate catalysts. Lactams are internal or cyclic amides. The reaction involved with the catalysts of my invention converts the lactam to an ω-aminonitrile by a cleavage reaction with ammonia. The reaction involves removal of the oxygen from the lactam molecule with the formation of water, and the addition of another nitrogen to the molecule to form a nitrile group on one end of a chain-like molecule with an amino group on the other end. There can be various substituents around the lactam ring, and consequently along the ω-aminonitrile chain. The aminonitriles are valuable chemicals since they are readily convertible to diamines or to other compounds useful as polymer precursors. For example, commercially available nylons are essentially long linear chains of amide ##EQU1## groups separated by 4 to 11 methylene ##EQU2## groups. One basic method of preparation of such nylons utilizes a condensation reaction of diamines with dibasic acids, for example hexamethylenediamine with adipic acid. It is desirable to obtain maximum conversion of the lactam to the corresponding ω-aminonitrile in order to have a commerciably feasible production process. It is an object of my invention to provide catalysts effective to improve the ammonialytic cleavage of lactams to the corresponding ω-aminonitriles. Another object is to provide for maximum effectiveness in one or more of yield and conversion in the production of ω-aminonitriles from lactams. Other aspects, objects, and the several advantages of my invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art to which the invention most nearly pertains from the following description and from my appended claims. I have discovered that catalysts of magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate composition serve to greatly enhance this conversion reaction to which I refer. These catalysts are unique, and are peculiarly effective in the conversion of lactams to ω-aminonitriles by improving at least one of conversion and yield for the ammonialytic cleavage under quite moderate reaction conditions. The ammonialytic cleavage reaction to which I have referred can be illustrated by the following: ##EQU3## The lactam as shown by formula (I) above is called a lactim in the tautomeric or enol form as shown by formula (II) above. The reaction, perhaps, may be more readily visualized as being between the enol form and the ammonia. Whether the cleavage is considered as occurring on one side or the other of the nitrogen of the lactam is immaterial. The resulting non-cyclic ω-aminonitrile is respresented by formula (III) above. Various substituents can be on the carbons of the lactam ring and consequently along the carbon chain of the ω-aminonitrile, as shown by the R symbols in formulas given above. R can be hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or combinations thereof such as alkylaryl or arylalkyl and the like, and can have in the range of 1 to about 8 carbon atoms provided that not more than 10 carbon atoms are contained in the total of R groups per lactam molecule. The n is an integer, and can range from about 3 to 9, inclusive. The examples which follow demonstrate the operability and effectiveness of the catalysts as I apply them to the ammonialytic cleavage reaction according to the process of my invention. These examples should be considered illustrative and not as limiting. The examples represent a series of runs with varying catalysts and with varying reaction temperatures. The evaluation of the results of these runs was made with the aid of analysis by gas-liquid chromatography. With this procedure, the chromatographic peaks corresponding to reactants and products were identified and compared with one another on the basis of area per cent, the area for each effluent constituent being defined by the base line of the chromatographic curve and the chromatographic peak for that constituent. While area per cent is not necessarily identical with either weight per cent or mole per cent, it is nevertheless, a commonly used and reliable method for comparing the relative effects of reaction variables, such as different catalysts, within a given reaction system. In the examples given, conversion is determined by subtracting the area per cent of lactam in the catalyst-containing reactor effluent based on the total area of the effluent excluding ammonia, from 100. Yield per cent is determined by calculating the area per cent of lactam which had been converted to the desired ω-aminonitrile in the effluent from the reactor. During each run, the stream from the catalyst-containing reactor was periodically subjected to gas liquid chromatography. The lack of a peak for the original lactam indicated complete conversion. The gas liquid chromatography peak for ω-aminonitrile determined the area per cent of ω-aminonitrile in the stream portion made up of the ω-aminonitrile plus any unsaturated nitrile. A series of products is formed in the ammonialytic cleavage of a lactam. These include the desired ω-aminonitrile, as well as a series of minor amounts of intermediates of an unsaturated type represented by ##EQU4## wherein y and z are integers such that y + z + 2 = n, as well as unconverted lactam, ammonia, diluent if any is used, and sometimes minor amounts of polymer. No polymer was formed, however, in any runs in the following examples. My catalysts for those runs of this example employing my invention were prepared using three different substrates. The first solution was prepared using 24.7 g (gram) (0.1 mole) of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate and 66.7 g (0.1 mole) of aluminum sulfate hydrated (18H2 O) in 600 ml (milliliters) of total solution, using deionized water. To this first aqueous solution was then added 100 g of the particular substrate in a finely divided particulate form. The substrate was maintained in suspension in the first solution by stirring. A second aqueous solution was prepared of 28.5 g of sodium silicate (water glass) and 30.6 g (0.1 mole) of trisodium orthophosphate hydrated (12H2 O) in 150 ml total solution, again using deionized water. The second aqueous solution then was added to the first aqueous solution containing the substrate, and the whole mixture stirred for a few minutes. Thereupon, the resulting suspended material was filtered, and washed with deionized water. The filtered washed material was dried in air at 150� C. to a constant weight. These compositions were utilized to catalyze the ammonialytic cleavage of lactam to ω-aminonitrile. Compartive runs using other material under the same reaction conditions showed far inferior results, this comparatively demonstrating the high order effectiveness of the catalysts of my invention when used in this process. For each run, caprolactam, normally a solid material, was heated to a temperature of about 130� C., and so converted to a molten or liquid state. The lactam was maintained at this temperature in a molten condition while ammonia gas was passed through the molten material at the rate of 1.9 g per minute. The ammonia gas was at one atmosphere of pressure and had been preheated to about 375� C. prior to contacting the molten lactam. The vaporous effluent from this procedure was a mixture of ammonia and caprolactam vapor, and contained in the range of from about 75 to 100 moles of ammonia per mole of lactam. This vapor stream was then conducted to a stainless steel reactor 1 inch diameter containing about 100 cc (cubic centimeters) of catalyst. The catalyst charge was retained in the vertical tube reactor by a plug of glass wool and some alpha alumina at the bottom of the reactor. The temperature of the reactor was controlled and varied by an electric furnace in which the reactor was contained. Thus, for each catalyst tested, the stream of ammonia and lactam vapor mixture was passed through the catalytic reactor for about 20-30 minutes, the reaction temperature was noted, and the reactor effluent was sampled for analysis by gas-liquid chromatography. This process was repeated for several reaction temperatures, samples being taken at about 275�, 300�, 330�, 360�, 400�, and 425� C. The conversion and selectivity results obtained with each catalyst in such a temperature series were plotted on a graph as a function of reaction temperature. To compare the effectiveness of the catalysts, the conversion and selectivity were read from each curve at a point corresponding to 375� C. reaction temperature. These standardized and directly comparable data so obtained from these series of reactions are shown in Table I below.

The data in Table I above demonstrate clearly that my magnesium-aluminum-phosphate-silicate catalysts are superior to related materials or components alone. Distinct improvement in conversion or in yield, or in both factors, is shown by the use of my catalysts. My catalysts can be prepared by any suitable procedure effective to prepare the catalyst compositions I have described. Preferably, I use the method described in Example I above. A first aqueous solution is prepared from magnesium sulfate and aluminum sulfate. To this first aqueous solution is added a substrate such as alumina or silica or a combination thereof. The substrate, of course, is relatively insoluble and so makes an admixture or slurry in the first aqueous solution. A second aqueous solution is then prepared from a silicate and an alkali metal phosphate. The second aqueous solution is then added to the first aqueous solution with the substrate, and the whole then stirred. The solid components of the mixture are then allowed to settle. The material which separates from the admixture is my catalyst, a magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate material precipitated onto the substrate. This catalyst material is then filtered or otherwise removed from the remaining solution, such as by decanting or centrifuging, washed with water, dried, to give the catalytic compositions which I employ. Quantities of magnesium, aluminum, silicate, and phosphate compounds employed should be such that a balance of cations and anions is effected in the magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate precipitated. In general, in the magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate precipitated, the mole ratio of magnesium:aluminum ions can be in the range of 99:1 to 1:99, but is preferably in the range of 5:1 to 1:5; the mole ratio of silicate:phosphate ions can also be in the range of 99:1 to 1:99, but is preferably in the range of 5:1 to 1:5. The catalytic composition of substrate plus magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate can contain in the range of from 0.5 to 99.5 weight per cent of magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate, more preferably in the range of 15 to 50 weight per cent of magnesium-aluminum-silicate-phosphate, the remainder being the substrate to total 100 weight per cent. In the preferred method of preparation that I have described, the term magnesium sulfates includes the natural or synthetic MgSO4, anhydrous, or the monohydrate kieserite, or the heptahydrate epsomite. Various alkali metal double salts are also suitable. These latter include langbelinite K2 SO4.sup.. 2MgSO4 ; leonite K2 SO4.sup.. MgSO4.sup.. 4H2 O; K2 SO4.sup.. MgSO4.sup.. 6H2 O; bloedite Na2 SO4.sup.. MgSO4.sup.. 4H2 O; and ammonium double salts such as boussingaulite (NH4)2 SO4.sup.. MgSO4.sup.. 6H2 O; and the like. The aluminum sulfate component can be obtained in various natural or synthetic forms such as the anhydrous A12 (SO4)3 ; the highly hydrated alunogenite Al2 (SO4)3.sup.. 18H2 O; as well as a variety of combined salts with members of the alkali metal group and including ammonium. Examples of such combined salts include kalinite KAl(SO4)2.sup.. 12H2 O; NaAl(SO4)2.sup.. 12H2 O; NH4 Al(SO4)2 ; LiAl(SO4)2 ; RbAl(SO4)2 ; CsAl(SO4)2 ; and the like. For my substrates, I can use any of the naturally-occurring or synthetically prepared silicas; or any of the aluminas such as α-alumina, η-alumina, γ-alumina, and including the fluoride compound-treated aluminas; or combinations thereof such as silica-alumina, alumina-boria, alumina-zirconia, and alumina-beryllia. The term silica includes finely divided particulate sand, quartz, flint, charcedony, opal, agate, diatomite or diatomaceous earth, synthetically prepared silicon dioxide, as well as combined forms containing silica such as silica-zirconia, silica-boria, and the like. Various other substrate combinations are effective including silica-alumina-zirconia, silica-alumina-beryllia, silica-alumina-titania, silica-alumina-boria, and the like. Suitable combination substrates further include physical mixtures of two or more substrates. Any similar substrate is effective as a support. In the preferred method of preparing my catalyst, the second aqueous solution is made up of a water-soluble silicate together with an alkali metal phosphate or ammonium phosphate. These water-soluble silicates include any of the ammonium silicates or the alkali metal silicates, disilicates, metasilicates, orthosilicates, anhydrous or hydrated. Ammonium is included, since in an aqueous solution ammonium ion closely resemble potassium ion, being virtually identical in size thereto. Only the Group IA silicates of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium, and the ammonium silicates are sufficiently water-soluble to be useful. This is Group IA of the periodic table of the elements as it appears on page B-3 of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 49th edition, Chemical Rubber Company, 1968. The soluble silicates can include the sodium silicates such as water glass Na2 O.sup.. XSiO2 where X can range from about 3 to 5; sodium disilicate Na2 Si2 O5 ; sodium metasilicate Na2 SiO3 ; sodium orthosilicate Na4 SiO4 ; in any of their anhydrous as well as various hydrated forms. For example, the metasilicate can be anhydrous, pentahydrated, monohydrated. My second aqueous solution further contains an ammonium or an alkali metal phosphate, with the alkali metals being as defined above. A wide range of phosphates are suitable and effective. For example, sodium hypophosphate Na4 P2 O6.sup.. 10H2 O; sodium dihydrogen hypophosphate Na4 H2 P2 O6.sup.. 6H2 O; sodium hexametaphosphate (NaPO3)6 ; sodium trimetaphosphate (NaPO3)3.sup.. 6H2 O; sodium orthophosphate Na3 PO4.sup.. 12H2 O; sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate NaH2 PO4, including anhydrous, dihydrate, heptahydrate, dodecahydrate; sodium pyrophosphate monohydrate, dihydrate, and anhydrous; sodium monohydrogen orthophosphate Na2 HPO4, including anhydrous, dihydrate, heptahydrate, dodecahydrate; sodium pyrophosphate Na4 P2 O7.sup.. 10H2 O; sodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate Na2 H2 P2 O7.sup.. 6H2 O; sodium triphosphate Na5 P3 O10, which is frequently termed sodium tripolyphosphate; and any of the equivalent ammonium or other alkali metal phosphates; and their anhydrous, partially hydrated, or fully hydrated forms. Additionally suitable are combination salts such as microcosmic salt NH4 NaHPO4.sup.. 4H2 O. Either crystalline or powdered salts can be utilized in making up the solutions, though powdered materials usually are preferable as more quickly providing solution or dispersion. The water to make up the solutions as well as the solutions themselves can be at any convenient temperature such as room temperature, but somewhat elevated temperatures can be used, if desired, in order to more quickly provide solution or dispersion. Other methods of preparation of my catalyst compositions are suitable. For example, it is feasible to add the substrate to my second aqueous solution, and then pour this admixture into the first aqueous solution as I have described. Or, other magnesium salts could well be used, and solutions could be made up of, for example, an alkali metal sulfate and a magnesium phosphate, since a variety of synthetic and naturally-occurring magnesium phosphate salts are slightly, though sufficiently, soluble in water, such as newberyite MgHPO4.sup.. H2 O, and the like. Nor is it necessary to make up merely two solutions. Different salts can be made up in separate solutions, and then all poured together along with addition of the substrate in order to prepare my catalysts. For example, aluminum sulfate can be dissolved separately, sodium silicate separately, magnesium phosphate separately, ammonium sulfate separately, then all poured together, a substrate added, and the whole admixture allowed to react precipitate together and separate out to form one of my catalysts. Of course, it is within the concept of my invention to utilize combination solutions, such as a mixture of aluminum sulfate and potassium aluminum sulfate in my first aqueous solution; sodium metasilicate and lithium disilicate in making up my second aqueous solution; ammonium monohydrogen phosphate together with sodium pyrophosphate in making up one of the solutions. Furthermore it would be within the compass of my invention to select suitable salts from each appropriate group, salts in the dry form will not necessarily be anhydrous, together with a substrate, in suitable amounts and proportions according to my invention; physically mix them thoroughly together, preferably in a finely divided form or by grinding; stir the whole mixture into water, allow the precipitation and settling to take place; and then perform the necessary separation and drying steps. Mixed substrates, of course, can be used. Once having the knowledge of the catalysts of my invention, one skilled in the art can readily determine a variety of approaches in preparation of the catalysts. All of my catalysts, as I have described them, are solid materials after preparation. The particular form of the catalyst as to particle size is not critical, but is chosen according to suitability for a particular catalytic reactor. Normally, the prepared catalysts will be in rather finely divided particulate form. If desired, the catalysts can be formed into pellets or lumps or granules according to requirements for a particular reactor, or the type of catalyst bed to be used, or the zone for contacting the lactam vapor. The conversion itself, the ammonialytic cleavage, usually is effected in the gaseous phase. The catalysts are solids. The contacting of the gaseous lactam phase with the solid catalysts can be by any conventional method, such as passing a gaseous stream of lactam and ammonia vapors through a fixed bed of catalyst, or through a fluidized bed of catalyst, or otherwise as may be convenient. Thus it is necessary, first, to produce a vaporous stream of at least one lactam. The ammonia portion of the vapor stream can be added as the lactam is vaporized, or added separately after the lactam is vaporized, or added as a gaseous phase to a liquid lactam-diluent or dispersant solution. For example, the lactam can be melted into a molten or a liquid form and ammonia gas passed therethrough, the effluent vapors or gases then form a stream which is a mixture of ammonia vapor and lactam vapor. The stream is conducted to a contacting or reaction zone wherein the ammonialytic cleavage is promoted by my catalyst. If desired, the ammonia can be heated prior to passing through the molten lactam. Alternatively, the lactam can be dissolved in a suitable solvent, ammonia gas passed therethrough, and the resulting effluent gaseous stream then contains vaporized lactam plus ammonia vapor plus vaporized solvent. A more usual procedure is to prepare the lactam-diluent solution-dispersion, admix therewith ammonia gas to form a mixed liquid-gas admixture, and conduct this admixture stream to the hot contacting zone containing the catalyst where the liquid is vaporized and ammonialytic cleavage occurs in the vapor state. Vaporization can be effected prior to the contacting zone, if desired. The reaction temperatures for ammonialytic cleavage can be in the range of about 250� to 750� C.; though more preferably in the range of about 350� to 500� C. Pressures in the range of about 0.1 to as much as 1000 atmospheres can be employed in the reaction zone. More usually, the pressures are within the range of about 1 to 100 atmospheres. Atmospheric pressure is certainly convenient, quite suitable, and therefore frequently employed. The reaction itself can be effected within a range of about 0.1 second to 10 hours, though usually times of between about 1 and 10 seconds are suitable to obtain desired conversion. While a minimum of 1 mole of ammonia per mole of lactam is required in these reactions, the amount of ammonia actually employed can range up to as much as 1000 moles per mole of lactam. Excess ammonia not consumed in the reaction can ultimately be recovered, such as by condensation, and recycled for reuse. The amount of excess ammonia feasible to employ is limited primarily by economic considerations as to amounts of materials convenient to handle, recover, and recycle. In practice, somewhat more than the minimum amount of ammonia is normally employed, usually at leat 10 moles per mole of lactam, since more effective cleavage is obtained thereby. Examples of the group of lactams wherein n is in the range of from about 3 to 9 include the following as illustrative examples: 6-Aminohexanoic acid lactam 4-aminobutyric acid lactam 10-aminodecanoic acid lactam 10-amino-3-ethyl-5-octadecanoic acid lactam 4-amino-2-methylbutyric acid lactam 10-amino-3-cyclohexyldecanoic acid lactam 8-amino-4,4-decyclopentaoctanoic acid lactam 10-amino-6-phenyldecanoic acid lactam 10-amino-4-butyl-6-phenyldecanoic acid lactam 6-amino-3-benzylhexanoic acid lactam 5-amino-4-(3-ethylcyclohexyl)pentanoic acid lactam 7-amino-5-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)heptanoic acid lactam 8 -amino-3-(4-ethylcyclohexyl)octanoic acid lactam 8-amino-2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethyloctanoic acid lactam 9-amino-2-ethyl-3-methyl-6-phenylnonanoic acid lactam 5-amino-pentanoic acid lactam and the like. Diluents can be utilized to make up as much as 90 weight percent of the total mixture comprised of lactam, ammonia and diluent. Suitable diluents include cyclic hydrocarbons, such as aromatics including benzene, toluene, xylene, and the like; as well as the cycloparaffins including cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and the like. Cyclic ethers also are suitable and include tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, and the like. Specifically, any diluent can be employed which is substantially nonreactive within the reaction environment, and which will effectively dissolve or disperse the lactam to be cleaved. Desirably, diluents are employed which can be subsequently used to azeotrope water from the reaction mixture which will include diluent, unreacted lactam, unused ammonia, the desired ω-aminonitrile, as well as water. Water, of course, is a product of the reaction at the rate of one mole per mole of lactam cleaved. The ω-aminonitrile produced can be recovered from the reaction mixture by any means known to the art. U.S. Letters Pat. No. 2,900,310, issued to Johannes H. Ottenheyn Aug. 18, 1959, discloses one suitable means of separating the desired ω-aminonitriles. The foregoing discussion and examples disclose that my complexes of magnesium-aluminum-phosphate-silicate on substrates are highly effective catalysts, particularly to catalyze the ammonialytic cleavage of lactams to the corresponding ω-aminonitriles. Reasonable variations and modifications of the process of my invention and the catalysts of my invention are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of my disclosure as set forth in the specification hereinabove and the claims hereinafter.

Detroit's MotorCity Casino to cash in with big expansion
August 11, 2010
A $275 million expansion of the existing MotorCity Casino in Detroit is under way. The project will add 45,000 sf to the existing casino, along with a new 204,200-sf convention center that will offer 67,000 sf of convention space and a 1,200-seat theater. Also in the package: a 395,200-sf, 400-room hotel and a 933-space parking deck. MIG Detroit is the general contractor for the project, and Detroit's Giffels and NORR Ltd., Toronto, created the design. Automotive designer Chip Foose of Huntington Beach, Calif., was a design consultant. The project broke ground in November 2005 and is expected to be completed this fall.

'Pizza Leias' — Just in Time for the New 'Star Wars' Trailer
Watching the new "Star Wars" preview over and over again and wish you had something to snack on? Why not make some "Pizza Leias?" Here's how to make them.
Watching the new "Star Wars" preview over and over again and wish you had something to snack on? Why not make some "Pizza Leias?" Here's how to make them.
The good people at Pizza Hut stopped by the studios today and brought a few pizzas with them. I'm always down for Pizza Hut, but when they opened the boxes, it blew me away! These pizzas looked amazing, smelled fantastic and tasted aweswome. Here are some new pizzas you should try out.
At pizza places, you have the option to grab some additional flavor packs like red pepper flakes and garlic seasoning. I thought I could use these to flavor noodles to make a 'Pizza Pasta' of sorts. Let's give it a shot!
This is such an hilarious video. I am not sure I like the song he is doing but his moves give people without the costume a run for their money!
Meet Christian. Not only is he one of the most adorable kids you've ever seen in your life, he was born with heterotaxy - a condition where one's organs are all mixed up. Most usually don't live to see their first birthday but, in Christian's case, he's about to turn one years old and is inviting everyone to his birthday party at Abby's on Monday, March 3rd! Proceeds of sales will benefit National Organization Mended Little Hearts.
Most People when they get pizza in Yakima they usually go to the basic pizza places. Its either Pizza Hut, Dominoes or Little Caesars (at least those are the most common). Little do people know that there are much better options to go out and get some very good pizza. Here are my top five places to get pizza in Yakima.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And when life steers your car straight into a pizzeria, you order a large pie.
Fact: everybody who isn't a monster loves the smell of pizza. But that doesn't mean that Pizza Hut should be making a pizza-scented perfume. Especially because their pizza is exempt from the "everybody loves the smell of pizza" clause. But they're doing it anyway.
Nothing commemorates the greatest tragedy in American history quite like a pizza sale! A pizzeria in upstate New York decided to honor the 11th anniversary of 9/11 by selling large cheese pizzas for $9.11. The uproar was predictably appropriate.
In today's health-conscious age, it seems a given that chain restaurants would share nutritional information to better inform their customers. And yet, several pizza restaurants, including Domino's, Papa John's, Little Caesars, Godfather's Pizza and Pizza Hut, have banded together to fight legislation requiring them to post calorie content right on their menus.
I saw a picture of these and was immediately intrigued. How cool would you be if you made these 'pizza cupcakes' for the neighborhood kids?
Erin O'Keefe and Amy Milano set an officially-sanctioned world record by slapping each other in face with slices of pizza a combined 174 times in 15 seconds.

Spring Lk Heights NJ NJ Shore BMW Riders New Sweden BMW Riders
'07 R1200R (current ride) and some bimmers.. and a Porsche
The service manager at my local dealer ( Morton's BMW, Fredericksburg VA ) told me to only use synthetic 75W140 gear oil in the final drive as per the tech's at BMW NA. I'm curently using Mobil 1.
That was a verbal on my last service visit. But, they'll be open Tuesday. www.mortonsbmw.com or 540-891-9844 and ask for Stuart.
1993 K75 - for sale
1969 R60US and others long gone.
Good tips on how to do this myself. Much appreciated.
That being said I bought the bike with the guarantee that I wouldn't have to do this work. That is my biggest gripe.
That BMW is sort of admitting their mistake without really admitting it is great. Now how are they going to make it right to those of us effected?
Easy, they won't do anything. No manufacturer would.
Rob C. , Raleigh, NC
2007 CBR600RR & 09 V-Star
Suzuki DR 350
I'm not a BMW apologist, but I'm not sure how you can interpret a maintenance schedule as a "guarantee" of not having to do something for all time, i.e., that it will never change, no matter what. Would we not expect them to revise maintenance schedules if they determine through real-life experience that something needs to change? For me, making it right is BMW issuing a revised maintenance schedule.
BTW Here is my take on the FD fluid change: http://www.jimvonbaden.com/R1200_Final_Drive.html
My limited, non-engineer, gear head, 30 year knowledge of final drives.....
The spiral bevel gears used in these final drives are the worst thing you can do to oil. Lots of shear when gear faces slide against each other. There are lots of smelly additives in there ("Extreme pressure"). As a Shell Oil engineer told me about a bevel gear box problem we were having at work that was getting hot and failing frequently, "Every 15 degree rise in temp, oil life is cut in half. Add an oil cooler, or volume, or change the oil more frequently".
There is less than 8 oz. of oil in that closed space, and as these bikes build more torque, there is going to be more stress on the gears/oil/bearings in the final drive. Back in the /2, /5 days when the bikes had 30 - 50 HP new, this was a non-issue, change the 90W gear lube every couple of years and you were good. Now we are abusing these things with iron butt mileage / speed / torque and not wanting to change the oil?
The corporate mesage of all motor vehicle manufacures seems to be, to reduce short term service costs to make the inital sale look good. Even when they said "lifetime final drive oil", I change it every year ( about 15k for me ). Lifetime for them must be 100k. Lifetime for me is 50 years (maybe), and I am going to change the oil no mater what they say. Heck, If I had a chain drive bike, I'd be oiling weekly and annually replacing chain/sprockets.
Ken E.
'09 RT, '93 K75, '69 R60US and others long gone....
I guess I'm looking at it all wrong. To me I see it the same as if a dealership sold me a car that the manufacture said had 300 hp and then I found out it only had 200 hp.
It's all about the selling point. Having lifetime final drive fluid was a selling point to me. Add that to two dealerships telling me that BMW doesn't want me working on my own bike so they aren't producing repair manuals anymore. So instead of lifetime final drive fluid I now have to pay $90.10 at least once yearly to have the dealership do it.
I am the target market for BMW. I'm 28 years old male looking for a brand that will suit me. BMW corporate isn't just turning me away, they are shoving me.
You are getting closer to how I feel. They sold me a bike under the pretense of lifetime oil and I believe that they knew that wasn't true. With all the testing that BMW does, even racing R1200Ss, they didn't figure out that the oil needs changing every year until after the sold me the bike? What else have they conducted insufficient testing on before they sold it to me?
When I bought my Triumph I was told to oil my chain every 200 miles or each gas tank. He said that the chain is self lubricating but oil it anyway. That's a more honest salesman to me and how a business should be run.
Kyle, BMW does sell repair DVD's to us average Joe's, one for mechanical and one for the electrical system, over $100 each though. You can work on your own bike, or have an independent do the work, its not against the law. Just need to record the work performed in the owners manual, or any other sutable journal.
Good luck.
Ken E.
'09 RT, '93 K75, '69 R60US and others long gone....
That is because the new repair manual is a composite of maintenance schedules, flat rates, torques, fluid recommendations, and repair manuals for the latest bikes (about '05 and later). It includes ALL of the later models, not just one model and all of the years with their production differences. Also data on torques for most earlier models and fluid recommendations and capacities. For some things, it goes back to the airheads. It's called the "RSD Repair and Service Data", comes out every quarter and the latest is the 12th edition, multilingual 4GB DVD. Part # 01 79 7 707 275 and costs $339.20 list price. You can print from it too. One copy will last you many years as to things not changing for the model(s) you have and most data not changing for succeeding years on your model.
Dealers say all manner of things. And BMW reps may say all manner of things. Many times they don't speak for BMWAG or BMWNA.
I don't think BMW is trying to keep you from doing your own work. BMW warranty covers all parts installed by the dealer or sold over the counter for 2 years with unlimited mileage (info also in another MOA thread). That doesn't sound like BMW is trying to prevent someone from doing their own work. Sometimes a caveat about tackling some repair or maintenance which may be beyond some owner's capability. That's fair isn't it?
Document your work. Use the fluids recommended in the RSD (dealers come up with the most astounding recommendations for fluids...). Spend a little on tools (the DVD is a tool) and most of all, put more wear on the treads than you put on the threads.
BMWMotorcycles, fun when they're running...
My other bike is a BMW.
Jack Hawley MOA and RA #224, KE9UW ("Chuck")

Hey guys! I'm here to talk about Tamadroid the awesome tamagotchi simulator for android! Seriously, go check it out. It emulates the original V1 Tamagotchi except with more evolutions and color. Some of which may be familiar.
Anyway, I made this topic so that anyone can share tips or tricks about the game.
I have some:
*You can set the time they wake up in the settings: I RECOMMEND 9:00 AM. This way they fall asleep at 22:00 (or 10:00 PM)
*Enabling 'evolve randomly at each stage' in the settings lets you give your Tama a random evolution no matter how you treat them.
*Using the rock-paper-scissors game is the best way to lose weight and make your Tama happy.
*Check your Tama every 20-30 minutes!
Right now I have a level 3 Ginjirotchi!
Anyone else have this amazing app for android?

The question becomes--- just how long will the largest shareholders remain complacent w/such price action? For now, they seem to be very quiet and unconcerned about unlocking shareholder value. Not sure what the catalyst might be to change that, but obviously no one is in any hurry to initiate any change, although that opportunity and potential has surely presented itself.
Manipulated or not, the powers that be ALWAYS ratchet this stock back down whenever it runs much above $10 per share. It doesn't matter how good the news, what new contracts get signed, or whether the company reiterates confidence in the current quarter and full-year earnings improvement guidance. A takeout is the only way you get rid of the game playing and assure shareholders a fair return w/this one. Just one view, but I think a lot of big holders see it that way as well. This company could come yup w/the cure for all forms of cancer and no matter how strongly the stock would react, it would always be "walked back down" to the $10 level.
Currently, the story has to be that institutional investors have nearly completely moved to the sidelines on the vast majority of Russell 2,000 and micro cap stocks. What a you are seeing is only the small retail investors dropping shares in 100 share, 50 share and 40 share lots. With out institutional bids, these microcaps just hit a downside vacuum. Amazing what a whiff of deflation can do. Small stocks w/foreign exposure to the strong U.S. dollar are out of favor for sure.
My best guess at to what happens? Nothing, not near term anyway. Institutional holders, unlike Carl Icahn for example, tend to be glacial in exercising fiduciary responsibility. Proxy contests are rare. Moreover, Boards of potential acquiring companies know that about 3 out of 4 acquisitions end up as failures. They are very reticent to be tagged w/having approved a bad acquisition, incurring reputational risk that lasts for years, w/ the resultant egg very hard to remove from one's face. So they do nothing. They wait. They wait until Helix and PRCP's 3-D scanning products either: 1:demonstrate a clear and recurring path to profitability or 2. clearly evidence themselves as a competitive threat. At which point, because they have done exactly that, the stock price of the hypothetical acquisition target is 2-3 times higher, the acquiring company panics and goes out an buys it at that point at a significant market premium---and it becomes one of the 3 out of 4 acquisitions that failed because they overpaid for it. It's just human nature----- despite the real likelihood that because of cost savings from redundanices, pricing power from a competitive threat being removed, and possible market share gains---an acquisition now could perhaps be anti-dilutive in year one at the the range I would forsee. So enaa, in 3-5 years it could all work out for you one way (standalone) or another (acquisition of the company a few years down the road).
You could be right. However, I think most investors (especially the large institutions) would likely more happily take a quick $16-$18 per share that a buyout would bring rather than waiting for a "possible" multi-bagger over 3 years. Consider 1. The bull market is already in its 7th year. 2. The U.S. auto cycle has peaked and is now flattening. 3. There could be foreign potential, but much of it could be washed away by currency effects and you would also have to count on QE working in Europe like it did in the U.S., despite being accompanied by 14 different fiscal policies in different countries. As for China and Asia, well that's a total guess, but China on a macro level is as bad as it has been in 9 years and in a clear downtrend. The overarching point is that massive world-wide Central Bank-induced liquidity infusions that #$%$ for six years or more, huge and historic currency fluctuations, unbelievable commodity deflation, and bond yields going negative in some parts of the world are hardly the harbinger of a stable economic and stock market outlook. The risk of multi-decade worldwide deflation is there, whether it is 50%, 30% or even just 10%. At $16-$18, a bird in hand trumps everything when quite possibly "cash is about to be King". Of course the whole discussion is moot unless the big holders wage a proxy contest to remove the (Board) and the anti-takeover measures (e.g. poison pill). The votes are probably there though. It's the impetus that remains to be delivered.
The "home run" would have been simply to acquire PRCP. For a market cap of just $100 million, plus some premium, FARO could have gotten w/an acquisition of PRCP: $34 million cash, $50 million+ backlog, product augmentation and diversification, geographic diversification and an international distribution network, patents, customer lists, annual cost savings redundancies at the CEO, CFO, Accounting, G&A, Marketing, IR, R&D levels, economies of scale, etc. Plus they would have taken out one a very few key competitors and improved product pricing. And since I believe they may be not only a competitor but also a customer of PRCP they could have brought supply in-house. It's an easy fold-in acquisition using PRCP's own cash to finance it if they so chose. It's an acquisition just big enough to make sense (FARO $773 MM EV vs. PRCP $67 MM EV) and have an impact w/o disrupting FARO's own corporate culture while also being able to easily absorb PRCP's quarterly volatility. If they were to catch PRCP at what might be an inflection point for their business (e.g. Helix rolling out)--so much the better. Maybe they don't have a Business Development guy at FARO. Yeah, better to go ahead and spend a ton of money to develop the product yourself I suppose when one already exists. Some companies have just forgotten about how to enhance shareholder value. Not everyone can be Larry Ellison I guess. Sometimes the best way to win against smaller competitors is just to acquire them.
and remaining down for 5-10 years as part of the downside of the commodity boom/bust cycle.Saudis not only want to bankrupt the frackers (which will take a couple years), but completely discourage them from ever coming back during our lifetime.
When do they finally "tap out"?
This group of Board members is not the most proactive bunch. Take a look at their ages. Just waking up in the morning is a major success story. Most of these guys will probably take illiquid, under appreciated stock to the "Great Beyond", or leave it as a mild nuisance to their heirs. With so little time left and knowing you only live once, I for one, would want to have one major victory to be remembered by, a legacy. This company seems to be merely an avocation for them, a more interesting, more palatable alternative to shuffleboard or bingo--not much more than that.
Even w/a turnaround clearly in place, better numbers, better visibility, insider buying etc. The only thing I can guess is that there is some perceived concern (rightly or wrongly) a Republican Congress will clamp down on all Federal spending for the next four years. What is completely clear now is that this is an event-driven stock that the Board of Directors will have to take action on the create shareholder value via some transaction. Maybe the stock has just been beaten down so long the credibility is shot as a public market vehicle. Never mind, the value is still there. The BOD just needs to unlock it. Most of those guys ain't getting any younger. They won't wait too long. That's my guess anyway.
Looks like a shared grant won on the basis of a competitive application in Poland. Relates to permafix medical's new process for Tech-99 production. A little surprised they did not PR this yet. Nice catch by you gonuclear.
The company (which has no debt) has a little over $2.50 per share in working capital. The remaining assets--- three company-owned buildings, design and assembly facilities, equipment, patents, tank monitoring contracts, customer lists are likely worth a bit more than the $0.28 per share (roughly $800,000) at which the market is currently valuing them. Even as a shell company, someone could buy the working capital, the physical space, and junk or fire sale everything else if they wanted (as it consistently produces no net profit), and avoid the cost of going public for a rather minimal investment. Turn it into a wine warehouse, or amped-up tech garage for a software start-up or whatever.
Time to take control of the company, Board seats, and seek sale of the enterprise. Any proxy contest to affect same would be well-supported by a majority of shareholders in all likelihood. The largest shareholder has been sitting w/dead, illiquid stock since he acquired it from Wells Fargo over a decade ago in the summer of 2004. It won't take much to convince him, or any other longer term holder. Get out there and sell this for $4-$5 per share to someone. It's either that or sit w/illiquid stock that trades around net working capital per share for another decade.
If the company came through with the earnings, they would not have to participate/jawbone prospective investors in any Conferences. Who wants to hear the helix story again for the umpteenth time. Just give me some good earnings results---quarter after quarter. Stay in Plymouth, save the T&E cost, do your job and post a strong bottom line.
edit: that date just above should read June 2004 not June 2014.
More than 2.8 million shares were just voted against nearly the entire Board of Directors, who barely survived the November vote. You might have to convince those holders the stock is worth hanging on to. I think some of them may be selling at every opportunity. That's a lot of stock to work through on an average daily volume of about 20,000 shares per day--even if only half of that volume is disgruntled stock trying to find an exit. This could be buried for a while longer. However, I would not rule out a coup/proxy fight to force sale of the company or removal of Board members. The votes are there to accomplish it without a lot of effort or arm-twisting of the non-voting shares from the November meeting. Stay tuned, you may not have to wait 3-5 years. Every down day will bring even more pressure to bear on both management and the Board, and more motivation to those who want to see a change made.
But the public market is only one way to value a company, and often it is not fair value. The company execs can take it private, lever up, and then run it out of the public arena and distribute the free cash flow to themselves proportionately. They can sell the company to a PE firm, larger industry player, or even a private individual given the small dollar amount involved. What you don't want to do is sit w/illiquid stock at 70 years old w/no where to go in a forced sale to deal w/legacy concerns. Of course, everyone thinks they will live forever.
Almost 3 million shares in the hands of dissatisfied investors based on that shareholder vote. That could weigh on the stock for 12-18 months. Not an easy security to get out of in the open market.
Amazonian good looks.
Awilco can easily pay the near the current dividend amount for the next four quarters. Whether they should is the question. I think Tom Petrie is right that unlike the last decline in oil price w/the financial collapse of 2008, this decline will last a lot longer. The Saudi's clear intent is to permanently break the back of the N.A. frackers. That will take at least two years, because many of those fracking producers have hedges in place to protect them from a severe oil price drop for 2015, and many won't even face financial jeopardy until well into 2016. Two years is also the time frame for how long a general populace will accept austerity (in Saudi Arabia), or more aptly, relative austerity as they live pretty well otherwise. Witness Greece as the analog. The populace will grit their teeth for about two years, but then you hit the breaking point where something gives. It's a game of chicken as to who blinks first, the Saudi monarchy or the Fracking companies, and it will get intense by early 2017. I think most shareholders in Awilco could live w/a 50% dividend cut to nearly $2.00 per share annually for 2-3 years. That would be what I would suggest.

SALISBURY, MD—Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Inc. added four hotel managements contracts and one country club management engagement in the 2013 first quarter. The five new management contracts includes the Magnuson Hotel & Conference Center, Tyler, Texas, a 159-room full-service hotel with more than 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The hotel, which recently was rebranded to the Magnuson flag, is getting ready to embark on a major renovation program. Other properties include the 103-room Ramada Vineland, NJ, which offers an outdoor swimming pool, three restaurants and more than 4,700 sq. ft. of meeting space; the former Quality Inn Hotel, Carmel Church, VA, which will be rebranded and renovated in the third quarter; the 128-room Fernwood Hotel and Convetion Center, Bushkill PA, which offers indoor and outdoor swimming pools, snowtubing options, four restaurants and bars, a golf course, and horseback riding trails; and Vestal Hills Country Club in Binghmanton, NY. Mike Marshall, president and CEO, noted that the company has seen an uptick in local banks wanting to dispose of lender-owned assets that require massive renovations to stay competitive, and the company expects to see a continued increase in these types of properties changing hands.
