Stop throwing away carbide inserts!
By Joelav
from MA
About Me
Comments about DMT Dia-Sharp 2.5" Diamond Offset Mini-hone, Kit :
The best use for these often goes unnoticed. If you use carbide insert lathe tools (easywood, etc) these will sharpen your inserts. Take of the insert, lay it upside down on the file with the flat part down and just rub it back and forth 5 or 6 times. You can get about a dozen sharpenings out of a single insert.

I use the hones to keep my Drill Press Forestner bits as well as my Parting and Skew cutters on my Wood Lathe in peak sharpness. After repeated use in hard woods my tools can loose their edge. With miminal effort I use the hones with water to restore sharpness.

Favi's SmartStick is not, as many call it, a Google TV. Instead, it is a dongle (stick) that connects to an HDMI input on your TV and runs the Android operating system. Typically, smartphones and tablets have Android, but this is the first streaming Android dongle for your TV. And herein lies the problem. While most Android apps made for tablets can be downloaded to the SmartStick, they are not designed for a TV streaming device, and they don't work when you try to use them.
That Roku box is shrinking…again. The Roku Stick looks like a thumb drive and is only about 3 inches long. For the most part, it provides the same experience as the standard Roku boxes—same menus, same performance. But to use one, you'll need an MHL-enabled TV or other device.
While cable and satellite companies often tout their ability to let you start watching a recording in one room and finish it in another, you can forgo the cost of these multiroom systems with a Slingbox. The original TV place-shifter, Slingbox allows you to access your cable or satellite set-top box and all of its content from mobile devices, media players, and computers— from across the house or across the country—by using the SlingPlayer app. Hoping to save some money in box rentals, I was happy to test Sling Media's first new consumer model in four years, the Slingbox 500 HD. There are a number of ways to watch TV on computers and mobile devices, but Slingbox is unique in providing remote access and control of your set-top box.

Twins prospect Eddie Rosario was suspended by Major League Baseball on Saturday following a second positive test for a drug abuse in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The 22-year-old second baseman will miss the first 50 games of the upcoming season.
Rosario is ranked as the No. 5 prospect in a deep Twins farm system and No. 63 overall by MLB.com. The left-handed hitter put up a .302/.350/.460 slash line with 32 doubles, eight triples, 10 homers and 73 RBIs in 122 games between Class A Advanced Fort Myers and Double-A New Britain last season. He went on to bat .238 with a .537 OPS in 20 Arizona Fall League games and is hitting .173 average in 30 games for Mayaguez in the Puerto Rican Winter League.
The Puerto Rico native was selected by the Twins in the fourth round of the 2010 Draft. He broke onto the scene in a big way the following year, slashing .337/.397/.670 with 21 homers and 60 RBIs in 67 games as an outfielder for Rookie-level Elizabethton en route to being named Appalachian League Player of the Year.
Rosario moved to second base in 2012 and put up nice numbers (.296/.345/.490) for Class A Beloit but was forced to miss six weeks after being struck in the face by a line drive.
Rosario faces a 100-game suspension if he tests positive for a third time. Sport Live PR first broke the news of the suspension back in November, but other issues had to be ironed out before MLB announced it officially Saturday. The Puerto Rican website quoted Mayaguez general manager Frankie Thon, who said the suspension was triggered by pills Rosario had taken to help an injured arm.
In a statement issued through his agent to TwinCities.com, Rosario said, "I want to apologize to (general manager) Terry Ryan and the entire Minnesota Twins organization, my fans, teammates and family. I made a mistake and I have no one but myself to blame. I must accept responsibility for my actions and serve my suspension."
"I intend to learn from this mistake and continue development in both professional and personal growth. I look forward to returning to the field in May and will do my best to put this unfortunate incident behind me."

School leaders are important to student learning.
Today's complex school environment requires effective leadership among all educators—teachers, principals and superintendents—to turn around struggling schools and improve student achieve-ment. Among the most important school-related factors that improve student learning, school leadership was second only to classroom instruction, according to a report commissioned by the Wallace Foundation.
A growing number of effective teachers—the single most significant factor affecting student achievement—are assuming leadership responsibilities outside the classroom. Teacher leaders serve as mentors, facilitate professional development and lead school improvement efforts. States, school districts and schools are recognizing the effect teacher leaders have on teaching and learning and in building instructional and organizational capacity in schools and classrooms.

Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
That is exact same rifle i have are those the turret mounts and ring,s from the accumounts?I kinda like the swept back looking ones from accumounts .but ill take what i can get if the price is right.Thing is i only want to do it once and right first time.what part,s do you have my freind?or where did you get those mount,s and scope?
All guns are created equal
I have mixed feelings towards them. I collect Milsurp, but I love shooting. I've been lucky, as far as getting decent rifles which have matching serials. Such as with my M/Ns and SKSs. I have a few great shooters with all matching serials, so maybe it doesn't matter so much, at least to me. I recently acquired an AR15 which is made by Colt, and looks exactly like an M16A2. Am I going to obsess over the fact it's not actually an army issue? No, I'm just deliriously happy it shoots well. From a shooter's point of view, I'd rather have a Mitchell which is complete, looks great, and shoots well, than spend 5X as much for a greasy old Mauser, with a corroded old barrel, in fair condition, that's "authentic"...
Agreed i just spent a month worrying about shooting an unissed n5mk1 and some collecter purist beating the value up because i shoot it ,i like redoing them myself , and am a disabled retired vet now so my wallet just cant get me 100% authentic all the time on my milsurps, some are all maTching but i still love shooting them some are not , my point is , you are still shooting history and and when you restore them or sporterize them to what you want ,it becomes more of a part of you and the personality you have ,I love mint unissued so called real collecters as well when i can afford them , but regardless when i do them myself they always tend to draw a crowd at range and shoot straight that is all i care about more than is it all matching and so highly prized it just sits.to me it is about firing historical rifles which are still in working condition and working 70 yrs later.Something to be said about takeing a 70 yr old rifle into woods and harvesting wild game that gets my blood circulating .Adrenelane is an addictive chemical lol.
If you are looking for a "shooter" consider a Finn M-39. They were produced by the thousands, not the millions, and are sure to gain in value. They shoot as well or better than any WWII era bolt action rifle. They have a great history, and they cost in the $350.00 range. For a few bucks more, you can buy one that is in un-issued condition, and is all original. These rifles are also available in antique dates and, therefore, available for purchase online without any FFL. These shoot the 7.54 x 54R ammo which is in the same power range as a .308/30.06, and is available and cheap by comparison.
"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous" Carl Sagan
Those Swiss rifles are pretty nice looking too! I've been considering one of those. I see everyone's point on the issue of originality. Most of the time you're going to find a nice rifle with a decent barrel so accuracy was never really lost. I just can't argue the fact that the German people make amazing stuff. Guns, knives, cars, electronics. I hate to say this but most of my firearms are not made in USA. There is also a reason the modern bolt action is based on the Mauser design. And they're out lasting time right now with the right care!

High school football: Edmond North survives early scare from Edmond Memorial, advances in 6A playoffs
Farmer scored on a 34-yard run on the Huskies' first possession of the second half and quarterback Luke Hoskins connected with wide receiver Luke Rossi for a 38-yard scoring strike on their second series.
Farmer, who rushed for 126 yards on 15 carries, added another touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard run. Depp finished with 14 carries for 104 yards.
"We could tell things were going to turn in our favor," Dombek said. "Our offensive line was feeling confident. I think they played great.
"They (Edmond Memorial) were throwing some different looks at us, multiple fronts, and stuff that we have never seen before. Our kids did a great job communicating with coaches and fixing some things. They had a great plan for us but our kids did a great job adjusting to it."
Edmond Memorial coach Justin Merideth had high praise for the Huskies, who he thinks can make a deep playoff run.
"I think they are really good," Merideth said. "They are definitely as good as any team we've played all year. They've got a good offensive line and a good running game and they play really strong defense.
"And I am not discounting their quarterback either. He makes plays when he has to. They've got all the ingredients."

I found this tattoo and I want to know more about the symbols and what they could stand for. Can anyone help me out?
I found this tattoo and I want to know more about the symbols and what they could stand for. Can anyone help me out?
All seeing eyes..
sun (positive)
moon (negative)
the eyes pointing arrow like a symbol of alchemical substance
triangle pointing down is feminine nature, the center dot looks like sol symbol
oh wait...it looks like a stylized astrological chart..with trines, squares and sextiles...
that's all I can give/guess :?
Thank you! I'm particularly interested in the straight lines in the middle.
Love that tatto, love the lines
I think illuminati symbols and freemasonry designs are so pretty.
^ you meant the mountainous lines beyond the eyes?
All seeing eye, whom the sun and moon obey... represents God, or rather Man being God
Sword pointing to the heart represent justice
Pointy arrow going south is very "gender" symbolism...
my wild guess that the owner of this tat could be gay? ^^
I have to clarify something... Illuminati and Freemasons are not even close to the same thing. The former didn't exist very long, the latter is a venerable men's fraternity that any man of goodwill may petition to join.
Straight lines could be graphic representations of the square and compass... or maybe the cable tow ...
Cardinal points and virtues, here pointing south to represent beauty, the 2 crosses are fortitude, the 2 triangle pointing to the sides are prudence, and the triangle pointing north is justice.
The frame obviously sun flower:
from quickie;
The sunflower moves itself in the most direct position in front of the sun so it can get the maximum sun rays. This is symbolic of spiritual faith, and worship because we follow our belief system as the sunflower moves to face the life-giving rays of the sun.
It's power enhancing frame..
Circle with a dot inside, refers to the symbolism of the solar orb and the universe, dot represents an individual Brother within boundary line (circle) of his duty to God and man.
In Masonry symbolism, the sun and the moon are Boaz and Joakim, the two pillars of the temple. the eye with the Arrow down symbolizes dedication to a mission that cannot be completed, yet is honorable. In effect the fool. The fool is brighter than the sun, over his shoulder, so the sunflower always faces to enlightenment, being the person looking at the glyph.
The pyramid with the lines represents the Pleiades and their relationship to a location on the planet at one particular point in time. the point of reference is the human soul, which is shown by the circle in the triangle, although those proportions are unusual.
The set of lines above are local references, I believe.
Hope that helps.
^I believe the tat is half freemasonry and half astrology but the upside down triangle is not a pyramid but an astrological aspect
you were right about 2 pillars
The pyramid I am referring to is within the Pleiades in the center of the flower image. It is the representation of the soul's position within the Pleiades. The symbol above with the eye and the arrow looking symbol is a very complex glyph. The eye is the connection we have with God, or the god head itself, depending on other things not in this glyph. the arrow thing represents the way we intend to dedicate our energies.
Seghers, do you know where the person physically is who has the Tattoo? what continent?
@Boston= I doubt that pyramid is actually a pleiades.. The small stars -squares and 3 small triangles symbols are dead on astrology although there are 7 legends inside the sunflower. 7= Pleaides. I guess the owner use freemason energy to bless his natal chart? Im not a freemason but this kind of things startled me :mrgreen:
Nishin also have good explanation above
"Straight lines could be graphic representations of the square and compass... or maybe the cable tow ...
Cardinal points and virtues, here pointing south to represent beauty, the 2 crosses are fortitude, the 2 triangle pointing to the sides are prudence, and the triangle pointing north is justice."
by heart? sort of.;) ,
Local references.. the place that the person is located.
Below the flower, you have a lotus, and that is vaginal symbolism. That with the two squares in the Pleiades star formation... it seems like this tattoo is a commemoration of something very important.
There are eight lodge positions. There are eight lines.
This tattoo is probably a commemoration of someone who has risen to the lodge rank of Master.
Hmm..you seem seriously knowing this subject matter, I better shuh up
Hail Ijubbinatti!!
I really have interest in occult, I wish that could be a money making profession ^^
I love this shit
What is it that people find compelling about symbolism?
apparently this is a tattoo by thomas hooper, who has a thing for geometry and loves "mystic" symbols. so the lines don't really need to mean something ...
Interesting, this makes me want to have my half sleeve finished and fixed.
"Patrick ODell...photographs fearless people searching for their place in life and the talismans which will guide them there... The engravings will give strength to the adorned individuals, strength that they will require to proceed protected into uncharted territory." :?
^ That's beautiful.
Maybe BostonPirate was referring to the position of certain stars in our Galaxy , very much like StoneHenge at the Summer and Winter Solstice when the !st rays of the Live-giving sun are celebrated ?
That is what i thought , great Thread . ..|
Just read Bostons reply makes sense though i still like the idea that the lines may represent positions within our Galaxy .
The eye sun and moon could also refer to a kabbalistic aspect, as the supernal triad of the tree of life, kether, chokmah, and binah. The sun being chokmah the supernal male aspect and the top of the right pillar of mercy, and the moon being Binah, the supernal female aspect which is the top of the left hand pillar of severity. The eye with the downward pointing ray looks to be a stylized version of one of the many glyphs for alchemical mercury. But at the same time, keeping with a tree of life theme, could be a representation of one passing over Da'ath, which is the great abyss between kether and tipheret. In tarot, the major arcana High Priestess represents this path between kether and a tipheret as the art or craft, piercing the veil between mortal understanding and hidden truths, which would make sense because most priestess cards in some way or another have a representation of the two pillars within the card's art.
Joakim and Boaz pillars are usually graphics on their own, appearing below the sun and moon, I'm not sure why they are not drawn here or if Sun and Moon alone represent them...
To me Sun and Moon belong to the EYE-SUN-MOON trilogy independently of the pillars.
Sun and moon represent opposites (male/female, day/night, light/dark, life/death etc) and are balanced by/subjects of the all seeing eye ("God") which they obey.
It is also interesting to notice Sun and Moon have been reversed, Sun should be on the left and Moon on the right...
The triangle pointing down represents the feminine nature… yet the triangles above this female symbol are placed asymmetrically.
What means the compass with its sixteen points?
The lines are as the lines on a sundial or as rays of light hitting a mirrored surface.
Seghers, I feel honored that you'd ask me, in particular, this question. :)
Honestly, though ,I know relatively little about secret societies. I do, however, see the Illuminati as a right-wing conspiracy fiction. As far as I can tell, no credible evidence whatsoever has surfaced that proves that the society actually exists.
By contrast, however, the Freemasons most certainly do exist, but I know little about them.
I was thought like that the first place but unsure to address since the sun and moon might not a good symbolism for pillar of severity (binah) or pillar of mercy (chokmah) The fool is always Kether (the eyes) no doubt. I thought Saturn as binah and Neptune/ Mazlot as chokmah but indeed there is positive-negative output on those pillars.
The freemasonry-kabbalistic symbolism is very complex..but yet they won't contradict one another, I believe.
Exactly. Since every other part of the glyph seems to be well considered, I would think that the artist was aware of what the tattoo commemorates, and added his own stylized statement... perhaps on this splinter group of the masons known as rogue masons...
The inverted pyramid in the center of the flower is also present.
This is the tarot image borrowed and altered to create the center upper image ;)
Superimpose the eye over the head, and the leg cross and the foot point down, would correspond with the grounding element below the eye. Then You have the sun and the moon where the hands are holding the wands.
So if you put that over the eight lines, and put the Pleiades below the lines...
The center of the flower image... invert and super impose these two images over the center of the flower... once again pointing to a rogue
One could never say if the Illuminatti are real, or a fictional design, of course. ;)
But if there was such a thing, this is the kind of symbolism they would use and exactly the way they would use it in.
Are they on LSD?

Sugar Sweet Hearts
Give your Valentine a little sugar with these Sugar Sweet Hearts from The Crafty Chica! These edible hearts are great to add as cake decorations and to toss in coffee and hot chocolate. These also make great gifts for kids, teachers, and friends for Valentine's Day. If you have different shapes, you can also make these sugar sweets for any holiday.
- 1 tray of silicone mini-heart molds (I bought mine at Target's Dollar Spot)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- A few drops of water
- Bowl and spoon
- Index card
- Plate
- Icing
- Edible decoration (M&M, heart candy, etc)
Pour the sugar in the bowl and add a few drops of water. Mix with spoon until sugar has the consistency of wet sand.
Pack the sugar very tight into the molds (no more than two at a time). Place the index card over the mold and carefully turn it over so sugar hearts slip out onto the index card. Let harden for one hour.
- Decorate with icing and edible decorations.

Commission on Civil Rights:
Commissioners' Travel Activities
GGD-94-130: Published: Aug 8, 1994. Publicly Released: Aug 8, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8387
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Commission on Civil Rights' travel activities, focusing on whether: (1) commissioners timely file their travel vouchers; (2) the Commission verified the commissioners' use of government contractor-issued charge cards for official travel purposes; and (3) commissioners' billable workdays and acceptance of voluntary services are limited by federal statutes.
GAO found that: (1) 6 of the 10 commissioners who were provided airline and train tickets between 1992 and 1994 had filed all required vouchers; (2) one commissioner was responsible for 57 of the 59 vouchers that had not been filed; (3) the timeliness of 23 of the 139 vouchers could not be determined because these vouchers lacked complete data; (4) of the 116 completed vouchers, 81 were filed within 30 days of a trip and 35 were filed more than a month late; (5) the commissioners' failure to timely submit travel vouchers has caused budgetary adjustments at the end of the fiscal year, could lead to violations of the Antideficiency Act and the bona fide needs rule, and could result in fund losses if airlines refuse to refund unused or partially used tickets; (6) individual commissioners may be accountable for the cost of their unused travel tickets if the Commission is unable to obtain refunds for these tickets; (7) the Commission had not verified that employee use of government contractor-issued charge cards was limited to official travel purposes; (8) the Commission's plan to review charge card transactions was not implemented because it did not receive the necessary reports; (9) although the appropriations limitation on commissioners' billable workdays limits the number of days they can be paid, it does not limit the amount of travel reimbursement they can receive as long as they are performing authorized Commission business; and (10) the statutory provision prohibiting the Commission from accepting volunteer services does not apply to the commissioners.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The agency has issued to the Commissioner who had 57 outstanding travel vouchers a bill of indebtedness for payment of common carrier tickets which have not been accounted for that were issued through the agency's travel management system. According to the agency, recovery proceedings are in effect.
Recommendation: The Staff Director, in consultation with the Chairperson of the Commission on Civil Rights, should direct the Commission staff to determine the liability of the commissioner who has the 57 outstanding vouchers for any loss that may result from nonrefund of his airline tickets that were issued over 12 months ago.
Agency Affected: Commission on Civil Rights
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On March 31, 1995, the agency issued revised travel procedures which implement GAO's recommendation related to commissioners' travel. The Commission also reported to GAO in October 1994 that two of the three commissioners who had outstanding travel vouchers had submitted those vouchers. The agency has issued a bill of indebtedness to the third commissioner for common carrier tickets for which no travel vouchers have been filed.
Recommendation: The Staff Director, in consultation with the Chairperson of the Commission on Civil Rights, should direct commissioners to file travel vouchers in a timely manner as required by federal travel regulations, and that if the Commission does not receive completed travel vouchers for all trips by the end of August 1994, the Staff Director should consider directing the Commission staff to cancel the travel authorization of those commissioners who have not filed all outstanding vouchers.

4 Sherlock Holmes vs Jack The Ripper... What could be betterRikardo22 | 06/12/2009 | See all Rikardo22's reviews (4)I got this game the other day and I am really enjoying it, it makes a change from a FPS. The setting is good, even though the graphics could be better! The gameplay isn't point and click like on the pc, you get to move around in either First Person view or 3rd Person view, to change the camera angle is easy (a single hit of the X button). If you are in to action/adventure games with a great storyline, I think you should buy this game A++++
5 suprisingly addictiveLyndzMay | 18/08/2010 | See all LyndzMay's reviews (13)my boyfriend brought this game home and i thought it was going to be me watching him play it !! however it was one of the most interesting games ive played in a while !! all the story lines are mainly true to fact and was a very addictive game !! i have not been able to put it down !! it was brilliant !! deffo one of the best games ive ever played !! brilliant worth the buy !!
5 it is an ADVENTUREdionisis02 | 11/01/2010 | See all dionisis02's reviews (2)ok, the graphics are not the best BUT if you like challenging puzzles (a lot of) and you want a storyline taken from adventure movies then this is your game. Take your drink sit back and enjoy.
4 Good GameBigGorm | 24/01/2010 | See all BigGorm's reviews (43)This is a really good game for a reasonable price. Its not rip roaring action but the story line is solid and the puzzles really get you thinking, making it a worthwhile game to play through. For 18 squid this is a bargain
3 Long windedengi285 | 02/01/2010 | See all engi285's reviews (1)The story line is excellent, but the game play itself is very long-winded. Personally I thought there were far too many puzzles in the game and alot of time was wasted trying to solve other peoples dilemas in the game, just so you could progress further in the game.

Suzann Pettersen / ESPN The Magazine
As a Golfweek story mentioned back in 2010, Pettersen built a $40,000 gym in the basement of her Orlando, Fla., home, to keep her body in peak shape year-round. There's no question the time she's put in at the gym has paid off in a big way. Pettersen has a major championship and is currently ranked No. 6 in the world, so clearly she's doing something right.
ESPN the Magazine apparently recognized the hard work the Norwegian was putting in off the course and offered her the chance to showcase her athletic physique in the upcoming "Body Issue," which hits newsstands on Friday.

"A lot of the best athletes in the world have done it, and I thought it was great to be asked. I thought about it, being naked and all, but I never really considered not doing it," Pettersen told USA Today. "I just had to make sure that I was comfortable in doing it. It's as natural as it gets. It's health at its peak."
If you're not familiar with the "Body Issue," it's ... well, we're pretty sure from you figure out from the above phone. Pettersen and 26 other high-profile athletes took the time to show off their physique for the magazine.
Needless to say, shooting a photo without any clothes wasn't as easy as a tap-in putt, but Pettersen was able to get through the shoot and noted afterwards that it was a memorable experience.
[Related: Olympians featured nude in ESPN's 'Body Issue']
"There was a big crowd, we'll say, for the shoot. But they are professional, and I was probably the only one there who felt a little awkward," she told USA Today. "The photographer asked me if I felt comfortable being naked in front of a camera, and I went, 'Well, here I am.' You kind of get used to it. It's like a role game. You do what they ask and that's it.
"This was a great opportunity for me. If they present the photos in the right way, which I'm sure they will do, there's not going to be anything to be embarrassed about or to criticize."
Pettersen joins fellow LPGA golfers Belen Mozo, Sandra Gal, Anna Grzebien and Christina Kim who appeared in past "Body Issues."

Friendly staff. Great price. Clean room.
No control of heating or cooling in the room. Couldn't open the window's to get some cool air, very stuffy in the room. Bed was really low to the floor. Couldn't get shower turned on.
The location
Dead bolt lock was stripped, had to be replace. Bare minimum bed, furniture was dirty, carpet was dirty. no hairdryer, no shampoos,
I didn't have to drive home after a late night football game.
I would have liked to have been closer to where the game ended, since I had to drive almost 30 miles from my event to the hotel.
Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Pool was very warm and we were usually alone which was fine with us. The free breakfast was good.
Yes! They NEVER once came in our room to clean up, make the beds, pick up dirty towels or replace towels. We put garbage out in the hall and asked for clean towels every day at the front desk. There were wrappers under the bed, hallway needed vacuuming.
It was new and clean good work out area good breakfast and friendly staff. Overall nice place.
Our room faced the freeway and the back parking lot they had very bright lights plus flood lights going up wall so even with black out curtains it was light in room at night. Also one day of our 4 day stay they did not vacuum the room just made bed.
The agent at the front desk - Ainsley. She was wonderful! From answering the phone so courteously and providing correct information and then going the extra mile to make tired travelers welcome.
The proximity to places to eat, get fuel and the ease of getting back on the interstate was nice.
The clean rooms but lack of window treatments made it hard to sleep as the light shown in through the cheap window blinds. The check out process was not very clear and there was no one to check out with upon departure.
the kitchen and refrigerator was a useful feature
the bed was too small and the mattress was not very comfortable. two people could not sleep on the bed
very clean nice decor
very small Room for the money
Cheap compared to rates in Manhattan.
The room smelled horrible. I had read that it smelled do was not surprised.
The kitchen had a stove, full size refrigerator, and dishwasher. Staff was friendly. The price was great.
Very clean, nice and quiet, convenient location and surroundings
Price kinda high but you definitely get what you pay for
The room was clean, and quiet. We went to see family that denied leave at Fort Riley and our experience was wonderful. The staff was wonderful and polite. Thank you for making the stay a great weekend to visit my son!
beds comfortable, very pet friendly, good breakfast
Location, friendly staff, small but nice lobby
Pillows were hard, the room smelled funny (mold?), and the heater didn't work
comfortable overall
breakfast choices limited, repetitive, and not very appetizing
Staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good.
Having to ask for towels a couple of days. We had our granddaughters with us and we told them that they would be with us when we made our reservations.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Take 2 — London Calling
Seattle Times readers who are traveling to London for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games are taking over our Take 2 blog to share their Olympic experiences from the United Kingdom.
Pieces of Seattle make appearances in London
It may be nearly 4,800 miles between Seattle and London, but Seattle culture can still cross that distance. Terrie Deidesheimer came across a Boy Scout uniform (right, first image) at the Portobello Road market.
Heather Deranek always seems to come across a Starbucks, no matter where she is. She writes:
I always like to keep an eye out for unique products if I am at a Starbucks in a different country, and London did not disappoint. This gem caught my eye: pancakes (right, second image). They had different toppings you could choose from as well. I'd be interested in having those in the Northwest.
While I waited for my coffee order to come up, they had Death Cab For Cutie playing on the radio in there, a nice nod to the Northwest. You can take the girl out of Seattle, but you can't take the Seattle out of the girl!

In 2007, the average price of gas in the District was 5 cents higher than the national average, according to AAA figures.
This year, it rose to 28 cents.
"That gap has continued to grow," John Townsend, a manager at AAA Mid-Atlantic, told D.C. Council members on Friday.
The Committee on Government Operations and the Environment explored this trend on Friday in its hearing on a bill that would prohibit "jobbers" — those who sell gas from the refineries to service stations — from both owning and operating retail gas stations. The measure provides a two-year window for compliance.
Although committee members tried to set a general tone, much of the debate has centered on Joe Mamo, a successful Ethiopian immigrant whose company, Capitol Petroleum Group, has amassed more than 40 gas stations in the District. Critics argue he has a stranglehold on the market that requires stations to only buy from him, as the jobber, at high prices that ultimately harm consumers.
The D.C. attorney general has said his office is investigating whether Mr. Mamo's stations have violated antitrust laws.
Mr. Mamo agreed there are high prices in the District but noted that certain retail dealers are to blame for setting high prices at the pump, and it would be fairer to analyze the situation on a station-to-station basis.
"You have the wrong person under legislative scrutiny here," he told the committee. "I struggled, I worked hard and I'm here today ... It's not my fault, it's not my fault."
Witnesses in support of Mr. Mamo said certain dealers in the District are making huge profits and would not necessarily pass on any benefits from the legislation to consumers. They also noted that no other jurisdiction has passed a law to divorce jobbers from retail operations.
Yet witnesses such as Mr. Townsend noted that certain trends are hard to ignore.
"I think that consolidation is hurting consumers," Mr. Townsend said. "Everyone is harmed by what is happening in the District."
Council member Phil Mendelson, at-large Democrat, noted that when prices went down, the rest of the country seemed to enjoy more precipitous drops in prices in the period since 2007. Mr. Mamo testified he acquired 16 Shell stations in 2007 and 28 Exxon stations in 2009 within city borders.
"It doesn't look good for the District," Mr. Mendelson said.
The D.C. Council passed a law similar to the one before them in 2004, but repealed it in 2007. Committee chairman Mary M. Cheh, Ward 3 Democrat, helped repeal the bill, but has turned course and introduced the new legislation.
Council Member Vincent B. Orange, at-large Democrat, is skeptical of the measure. He noted that gas prices in the District have traditionally been higher than surrounding areas, with taxes and refining costs as major contributors to price fluctuations.
"No one has established that Mr. Mamo is the cause of price increases," Mr. Orange said.
Mr. Mendelson said the issue should not be considered a referendum on Mr. Mamo, but the structure of the market, noting his interactions with Mr. Mamo have been "polite," "pleasant" and "proper."
Even Jesse Jackson has entered the fray, issuing a letter to council members arguing the legislation would adversely affect a minority-driven success story. Mr. Mamo, too, said the legislation would harm minority dealers with whom he has lease-contracts, because the law would force him to franchise out the stations.
Several of the contracted operators testified against the bill, noting they cannot afford the single-franchise pricetag.
"This is the most un-American thing I have ever seen," said Dawit Habte Selasie, operator of a Shell station on New Hampshire Avenue in Northeast.
Ms. Cheh had objected to the racial framing of the issue and established at the hearing that Mr. Mamo had asked for Mr. Jackson's letter. But in a heated exchange that followed, Mr. Mamo's lobbyist, John Ray, maintained that Mr. Jackson wrote the letter with his own thoughts and words.
Lynn Cook, manager of Parker's Exxon in the Palisades area of Ward 3, said he can only buy from one jobber, making it difficult for him to compete with the station up the street.
"I was paying more than he was selling it to the public for," Mr. Cook said.
"I don't suppose you could go up their with containers?" Ms. Cheh quipped.
Mr. Mendelson said price was not the only issue. He expressed concern about a favoritism toward the convenience store-gas station models — which tend to sell more gas — than full service, gas-and-repair shop models like Mr. Cook's.
Mr. Cook said the lack of separation between jobbers and retail operations also means he is at greater risk of being replaced as a manager.

Signs MoU with Gujarat government
The TeamLease, a staffing solutions company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Gujarat for establishing a vocational university, according to Vandana Sharma, head-Partners Operations, IIJT (Indian Institute of Job Training) Education Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore.
She was talking to newspersons at the opening of a satellite-enabled training centre at the IIJT Vellore franchisee centre in Sathuvachari near here on Tuesday.
Ms. Sharma said the company has raised Rs.100 crore through the ICICI ventures for starting the university, which would be known as TeamLease Vocational University. The amount would be used for setting up the university as well as expansion of the IIJT in the country. Once the university is established, all IIJT centres would be affiliated to the TeamLease Vocational University, and students undergoing courses in the IIJT would be awarded certificates or diplomas by the university.
Shajan Samuel, division head-South, IIJT Computer Education Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, who inaugurated the satellite-enabled centre, said that IIJT Vellore offered courses in finance such as complete business accountant (CBA), integrated business accountant (IBA) and certified financial planner (CFP). The CBA, which is meant for higher secondary passed students, is a 560-hour course, while the IBA, which is meant for graduates, is a 300-hour course. The CFP, which is meant for graduates and postgraduates, preferably workers employed in banks, is a 200-hour course.
Classes would be held every day for two hours in different batches from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The timings are flexible so that students could undergo these courses even while studying in colleges. Only 15 per cent of the course duration would be devoted to satellite-based programmes, wherein lecturers from the IIJT studios in Bangalore or Delhi would be conducting interactive classes at specific time slots.
Mr. Samuel said that the IIJT offered 90 per cent skills and 10 cent knowledge. While lakhs of engineering and other graduates passed out every year from the colleges in India, only one-third of engineering graduates are employable as there is a big gap between knowledge imparted in colleges and job requirements. "We want to train people for life skills so that when they come out of their colleges, they would be ready for the job," he said.
Mr. Samuel said that the IIJT conducted free career seminars on all Saturdays through the V-SAT. Guest lecturers from Bangalore or Delhi would be conducting the seminars, and it is open to participants sitting in the IIJT centres to interact with them and clarify their doubts. The seminars would be conducted by experts in the banking industry and the big shop businesses, he said.

Civics gives all-rounders solid bridge to global community
There's more to education than the traditional three 'Rs' and innovative approaches are gaining currency in the mainstream as educators realise the need for a broader base from which to tackle life
TREE-PLANTING, mock elections and fact-finding trips to Third-World slums are among student activities in civic education. But how much they help shape students' perceptions of the world and their social duties is open to question.
Despite an emphasis on moral and civic education under education reform, schools have generally put them at the bottom of their priority list. 'It would be better if there were a particular group responsible for planning and implementing the training in a systematic way. More staff would also be deployed to do the job if moral and civil education were a priority,' said Li Yiu-por, a Chinese language and culture teacher at Carmel Divine Grace Foundation Secondary School.
'It is important because it affects students' whole-person development and their perspectives on things in life. In our school, more attention is paid to student counselling and religious activities.'
Like many of his colleagues, he brings up moral and ethical issues such as homosexuality and human cloning for discussion during class. 'I have told students about the values of Confucius in explaining Chinese culture, and approached issues from the Christian perspectives in Biblical knowledge classes. But the Bible does not have clear stances on many of the issues we face today. As teachers, our role is to tell students about various views and help them make judgments on their own. There also needs to be room for class discussion.'
Under the integrated humanities course which is increasingly being adopted by schools for junior forms, students also visited venues such as Legislative Council to familiarise themselves with the concept of citizenship. Senior form students may have other priorities.
At the Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA) David Li Kwok Po College, for example, the focus is more on improving study skills and career counselling, according to deputy principal Wan Yuen-ming. 'But we involve them in various competitions or activities organised by social organisations revolving around particular topics,' she said, acknowledging the key role schools play as a fertile ground for cultivating socially accepted values among young people.
What each school offers also depends on its students' needs. 'As a new school, we find it most important to promote students' discipline and sense of belonging,'Ms Wan said.
Students may be the weakest, though, in coming to grips with global issues. Under government guidelines issued in 1996, citizenship education for primary and secondary schools and kindergartens is expected to cover knowledge about the international community and each individual's basic rights and responsibilities as a member of the global village.
The Second IEA Civic Education Study covering 28 countries and carried out in 1999 showed only 17 per cent of students in Hong Kong were interested in both local and international issues, compared with 51.4 per cent among their counterparts in Shanghai. Only 27 per cent of the educators polled in Hong Kong said they were satisfied with the provision of education in international perspectives, as opposed to 51 per cent in Shanghai.
More than half of the 5,000 local Form Three students polled for the survey learned about issues such as globalisation, poverty and hunger and the widening gap between the rich and the poor, mainly through talks offered at school assemblies, whereas in Shanghai, it was far more common for students to engage in social outreach activities, according to the survey.
Lee Wing-on, head of the Hong Kong Institute of Education's Centre for Citizenship Education, who conducted the local study for the IEA research, said: 'Hong Kong people showed a high standard of civic quality when they marched peacefully on July 1 last year. Hong Kong students also have good civic knowledge as their civic knowledge ranked top five among the countries involved in survey.
'However, they were relatively weaker in their interests in participating in politically-oriented civic activities.' His findings were presented at a forum on global citizenship education held last week by Oxfam and the HKIEd at the HKMA David Li Kwok Po College. 'Schools generally care more about the major academic subjects such as languages and mathematics rather than civics-related areas.'
Professor Lee added that school-based assessment of students should be diversified by including students' performance in civic activities.
At the forum, the Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower Fanny Law Fan Chiu-fun acknowledged the importance of broadening students' local and international outlook. She has written letters posted on the EMB's website promoting cores values including integrity and patriotism.
'Education reform is intended to equip our new generation with the ability to live in a global era. We need to help our students learn to respect others and engage in exchanges with people from other cultures. Education in both Hong Kong and Shanghai aims to train students as global citizens,' she said and pledged to increase pre-service and in-service training for teachers responsible for general education. She expects teachers to be 'willing to make contact with the society and know how to help their students learn how to learn through questioning'.
But what is also required may be additional effort and determination in schools to build up the 'citizenship value' of their students. 'The biggest concern is not the official policy but the time and resources that schools busy with education reforms can offer,' said Kwan Wai-wah, head of the civic education panel at Chang Pui Chung Memorial School.

FAA Will Delay Closure Of 149 Air Traffic Control Towers Until June
The Federal Aviation Administration has decided to delay the closing of 149 airport control towers until mid-June.
The Obama administration said it needed to cut funding for the towers — mostly in small communities — because of $637 million in budget cuts mandated by law.
"This additional time will allow the agency to attempt to resolve multiple legal challenges to the closure decisions," the FAA said in a statement. "Extending the transition deadline will give the FAA and airports more time to execute the changes to the National Airspace System."
The AP reports that "trade groups representing companies that operate the towers under contract for FAA filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Washington." The first 24 closures, adds the AP, were scheduled to take effect on Sunday.
Our friends at It's All Politics have a round-up of all the effects the sequester is having on different aspects of the government.
"This has been a complex process and we need to get this right," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement. "Safety is our top priority. We will use this additional time to make sure communities and pilots understand the changes at their local airports."

Russian police are investigating after housewife Marina Bugaev's found a diamond ring inside a pack of sausage meat.
The 50-year-old mother of three from Izhevsk, Russia, told local media: "I was cutting the sausages up when the knife hit something hard.
"When I saw it was a diamond ring I nearly fainted, my first though was where is the finger, and I then wanted to know if there was a finger where is the rest of the body?"
A local jeweller confirmed the ring was a genuine diamond ring, and Marina then contacted the sausage producer directly.
She said: "I thought maybe it had slipped off someone's finger and I didn't want them to be deprived of such a beautiful thing."
But bosses at the sausage plant made her suspicious when they rejected it could have been in the meat, or that it could have been possible for such a thing to happen.
She said: "They told me it was the first they had heard of it and none of their staff had lost any jewellery. I thought it sounded strange so I contacted police."
