Has anybody ever done any of those? I have one that I bought several years ago and I just love it. Bought several old forks the other day with the idea in mind.
Anybody ever made them? Any suggestions for bending/polishing, etc.? |

I have made these and other silverware items for years. I just use needle nose pliers to bend them. The key chains are the easiest things to make, becuase you don't have to drill through them. The silverware eats up drill bits! I have tried several different ways of cutting them and I've found that using a really heavy pair of snips is the easiest (I've tried different saws, but since they are so small, it can get dangerous! ; ). Then I file them down with a heavy metal file. I haven't polished them before, I like the tarnished look, but I would think silver polish would work really well! |
I have, I have a couple of styles Here is one. I also make them as hooks, but I don't have a pic |
I forgot to answer your bending polishing question. I use mothers chrome polish from the automotive department at Walmart. It shines things up nicely. I bend them with a vice and needle nose plyers. I use a drill press if I'm going to drill holes. I do a lot with flatware and these are the things that work the best for me. Getting a tight enough bend like the one in the picture above is a bit tricky. Choosing the write flatware is key as well. Stainless steel does not bend well. Good Luck. |
Robolady is the master of this sort of thing...I just wanted to add that I cut them with a small pair of bolt cutters, and file to smooth. |

Homeland Security transfers $2.4 million dollars back to Mexico.
POSTED: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 7:13am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:33am
Homeland Security and Customs Enforcement Assistant Secretary John Morton, announced the transfer of $2.4 million dollars from the U.S. back to the Mexican government.
A joint investigation between Mexican and U.S. officials led to the exchange, in June of 2007, ICE and Mexican law enforcement uncovered a scheme to smuggle stolen Mexican petroleum products from Mexico into the United States. The smuggling began in the Rio Grande Valley and that's where its still under investigation.
A $2.4 million dollar check was handed over to Mexico's Director of Tax Administration, Alfredo Guiterrez-Mena in San Antonio. He outlined the success of the investigation and the bi-lateral cooperation between our two governments and U.S. federal agencies.

So, I just learned creepy shit on Morgan Freeman through the wormhole, and I want to explain it on here, so maybe I'll understand it a bit better, if you guys wanna read, that's fine.
I just learned that the way we see reality is only one way to see it. Our three dimensional way of looking at things is only one way to describe the reality we see. But there are actually 2 ways.
This comes from a huge debate in physics started by a guy I can't remember, and Stephen Hawking.
It started about black holes.
Stephen Hawking said black holes violate one of the most fundamental laws of science, the Law of Conservation of Information. That's a law because, if, for example, you took a sink full of water, and then put drops of food coloring in it, in a pattern of Morse code, spelling out, banana for example, that information will never be lost.
Because, even if, after an hour, all the food coloring gets diffused through the sink of water, and it seems impossible to figure out what the original Morse code message was, it is indeed possible, even if we can't possibly ever do it as humans, if you look at the position and the velocity of every single molecule, you would be able to extrapolate backwards until you got the original drops of food coloring, and therefore, the message.
So the Information in the system, however scrambled it may be, is technically never, ever lost. It's always possible to get back, even if we'd never have the technology to do so.
But Hawking said the Information would be lost in a black hole.
This is because black holes, even though people like to think of them sucking everything in and letting nothing out, they do let some things out.
That's because, in space, constantly, all over the place, opposite particles well up, and then annihilate themselves an instant later. This happens because the time they're around for is so short that because of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, you'd never be able to observe them, really, and so they're around for such a short time they basically go unnoticed by reality, they're called virtual particles.
One of the parts of a black hole is the Event Horizon, which is the exact sphere surrounding the hole where, once something, even light, enters it, it's impossible to escape it, no matter how fast you go.
But if these opposite particles well up right on the very edge of the Event Horizon, one of the opposite particles will be sucked into the black hole, while the other will escape into space.
This is called Hawking Radiation, and it's why black holes will eventually die.
So when a black hole sucks up something, Hawking said, it will release the Hawking Radiation equivalent to that objects mass, but the information in it will be lost forever, because there's no connection between the Event Horizon and the inside of a black hole.
But this other guy, who I'll call Guy, cause I can't remember his name, said that wasn't so.
He at first couldn't figure out why, but he knew that black holes couldn't violate the Law of Conservation of Information, and for a decade he tried to discount Hawking's theory.
And eventually he found a way, but it requires looking at reality in a different way than we usually do.
The idea comes from a thought experiment involving some people named Alice and Bob, and a black hole.
They're orbiting a black hole, when all of a sudden Alice decides to jump into it. After that one thing happens.
How that event is observed by Alice is she falls right through the Event Horizon, falls into the middle of the black hole and is utterly crushed and annihilated, and her mass is added to that of the black hole.
But Bob sees it totally differently.
Bob sees her, because of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, the black hole warps both space and time in a way so that Bob sees Alice approach the event horizon but slow down slower and slower, taking an infinite amount of time to get to the event horizon, eventually effectively stopping.
So both of those views are representations of the same event, Alice falling into the black hole.
But what the fuck?! Alice sees herself crushed and destroyed, Bob sees her freeze in time at the Event Horizon.
So then our good friend Guy solves this paradox for us. He says that matter is like an airplane propeller.
When the propeller is spinning really, really fast, all you'll see is the central hub. You won't see the blades at all.
But if you have a sufficiently fast camera, if you take a picture of the propeller, you'll see the blades.
Particles are like that, they're moving so incredibly fast, that you can only see bits of them at a time. But if you are sufficiently quick, you can see more of the particle, and then more of it, and then it gets bigger and bigger until theoretically it takes up the whole universe.
So, really, particles are like a propeller that then has a propeller on the end of each blade, and a propeller on the end of each of the blades of those propellers, and more and more propellers on the ends of those propellers.
When this massive propeller, which he calls a String Theory Propeller, is spinning really, really fast, all you'll see is the middle hub of the central propeller. But slow it down a little, and you'll see the blades of it too. And slow it a little more, and you'll see the other propellers on the end of each of those blades, and then more and more propellers, and the more you slow this String Theory Propeller, the bigger it appears to get.
So, back to the thought experiment, this time Alice flies an airplane with a String Theory Propeller into the black hole, seeing only the central hub of her Propeller. And the same thing happens to her, except that her plane is then crushed as well.
But Bob sees something completely different. He sees the plane slow down slower and slower, and so then he can see the blades of the central Propeller, and then he can see the other propellers on the ends of that one, and more and more propellers, and the closer Alice gets to the Event Horizon, the larger her plane appears to get, until it eventually covers the entire Event Horizon. And those are both different interpretations of the same event.
And through this, our good friend guy shows that Alice's information is not lost.
But what he also shows is more important.
He shows that any event that happens at a black hole has 2 interpretations you can draw from the same event, both the 3 dimensional one, where Alice falls into the black hole and dies, and another, 2 dimensional one, where Alice is projected 2 dimensionally on the surface of the black hole.
And that means that, by extension, anything that happens in the universe, in 3 dimensions, it also happens in another interpretation at the very edge of the universe, projected 2 dimensionally at the very edge of the universe, billions of light years away.
And so that shows that our usual 3 dimensional way of looking at the world is only one way of looking at it, everything that happens here also happens 2 dimensionally at the edge of the universe.
Weird shit, man.
And so, what if, like, our 3 dimensional view of the world is just another way of looking at the universe that's actually 4 dimensional or something?
Weird ass shit.
Anyway, I kinda understand it better now, good night guys.
You have attained an unusually high level of appreciation of current thoughts in cosmology.... especially for a HS sophomore!
If you haven't already done so... you may want to take a look at any of the recent books by Brian Greene (e.g., The Elegant Universe; The Fabric of the Cosmos).
The classic seminal work on Black Holes is Black Holes & Time Warps - Einstein's Outrageous Legacy by Kip S. Thorne (1994). Quite readable, and written for non-specialists!
Suggested temporary diversion: Maybe it would prove instructive to speculate on the "care and treatment" of the libidinal turmoil that can afflict gay teens.
You could use yourself as a "case study." :)
Where did you pick up that perverse spelling?
Try whacked! :) + :)
...I know... at least, I do now. Sorry!
Couldn't you tell that I was just playing... and not at all trying to come off officious? :(
We are actually inside the 4th dimension, which is inside the 5th dimension, which is inside the 6th dimension, etc., bt it is impossible to move between them.
We see things like planes in the 3rd dimension, so organisms in the second dimension (which are invisible to us) see in 1st dimension, a line, and 1st-dimensional organisms see nothing at all. However, we have no idea what a 4th-dimensional organism would see because they see in the 3rd dimension, which is incomprehendable to us.
We have no idea what the 4th dimension would be like and it is impossible to point in the direction that we would move to get there. Like if an organism from the 2nd dimension entered the 3rd dimension (hypothetically) and returned, it would be impossible to point in the direction it went (up, down, etc.) because it would be impossible to perceive, as it sees only a line with absolutely no width at all (which is also impossible for us to comprehend). Same concept here. We don't know what this new direction is and we cannot travel in it.
However, there are prejections. A shadow of a 3-dimensional object is its projection on a plane (2-dimensional world). A cube projected on the second dimension is a square. We do have a projection of a tesseract, a 4th-dimensional cube. This is what its "shadow" looks like:
Of course, we can't imagine what it actually looks like, but only its projection.
Again, we are in the 4th dimension just like 2nd dimensions (planes) infinitely exist in any given amount of space here, going all possible 3-dimensional directions, which is infinite, and infinite lines exist in those planes. There are infinite 3rd dimensions inside any given space in a 4th dimenion, going all possible 4th-dimensional directions, which we cannot comprehend. Same for all dimensions, and it goes on forever.
Crazy stuff right there.
since organisms in the 4th dimension see in the 3rd dimension, they would see 3-dimensional objects from all sides and angles at the same time without moving. Try picturing that.
Just sitting there and working through it all in your mind is simply the coolest experience ever.
The coolest experiences ever are:
1. Traveling to a past life
2. Getting high
3. Meditation
Yours was pretty cool, though.
...gotten high, traveled to the past? Simultaneously?
But... surely this list is incomplete?
Traveled to a past life for a few minutes via a hypnotherapy video by Steve G. Jones:
And I get natural highs a lot. I have meditated on my third eye and had a very short vision.
Based on this post, you might like the show "Sliders." It's on netflix, I believe. It is early 90's, so you have to excuse the bad hair and clothing, but the science that it is based on might interest you.

BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) markets bring bigger capital inflow into UAE than MENA markets, with India topping the list: Fortress Investments
August 2014 in News by edsterMSCI upgrade of the UAE to emerging market status places it within the BRIC grouping
Fortress Investments, a leading investment firm operating in the Middle East, says that there is a significant increase in capital inflows into UAE from emerging markets, particularly the BRIC countries (Brazil, China, India and Russia), surpassing inflows from MENA (Middle East & North Africa) region.
Hamed Mokhtar, Managing Director at Fortress Investments said: "The UAE is becoming more important on a global scale, in addition to emerging as an unparalleled investment hotspot. The capital invested in the UAE from MENA region is more in the form of individual property assets, whereas UAE's role in attracting capital flow from BRIC countries is the result of progressive government measures and global partnerships."
He added: "India commands the lion's share of BRIC capital coming into the UAE. The UAE is a net importer of capital mainly from emerging markets and regional markets, where capital inflow from developed markets is low."
This significant revelation comes on the heels of index provider MSCI's upgrading the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to 'emerging market' status, thus putting the UAE in the ambit of the BRIC grouping.
He added: "Financial robustness of the UAE financial markets, specifically Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and Dubai Financial Market (DFM), not only spells financial gains but also stronger economic sentiment that boosts the image of the UAE as a global powerhouse that is much valued by groups like BRIC."

Dehumanisation is often the starting point of cruelty. Nazis didn't see Jews as human, that's how they could throw them into ovens. Slavery in America worked along similar lines, people were treated as cattle because they were labelled "niggers," a word used to denote someone who was not quite "one of us," not quite a person. Religions do this kind of thing a lot, in Islam it's "kuffar", in Judaism it's "goyim," in Christianity it is "heathen."
In England at the moment the word "troll" is being used by Her Majesty's Government to do the same. Originally "trolling" referred to a fishing technique where you slowly drag a lure or baited hook from a moving boat. In the old world of forums people would be called out for trying to "troll" for a response to their posts. Now it has become detached from its original meaning and conflated with the trolls of Tolkienesque fantasy.… Read the rest

With all the coverage of Liz Wahl's resignation from RT and Abby Martin's comments (2 ) on why she condemned Russia's actions in Crimea, thought I would just remind everyone that Phil Donahue, "an American media personality, writer, and film producer best known as the creator and host of The Phil Donahue Show", a show that had a "29-year run on national television in America", a person who was "ranked #42 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time". a person that Oprah Winfrey credits for giving birth to her show, stating that "if it weren't for Phil Donahue, there never would have been an Oprah Show!", was fired from MSNBC for opposing the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, "even though his show was a highly rated one on the network."
I believe Chris Hedges put it best in an article entitled, "The Day That TV News Died":

When Mainstream Media's Narrative Collapses: Building 7
via chycho
It's been years since I met anyone that still believes in the official government story of the lone gunman. For obvious reasons of course, since you would have to be completely obtuse to hold onto such simplistic perceptions of the world – not to mention to having no understanding of physics at all.
For those that continue to encounter such people, the only advice I have is to sit down with your loved ones, or those that you would like to educate, and have them read or watch a little Bill Hicks.
Bill Hicks – JFK
Further information on the JFK assassination at: "Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City", and "The Death Of John Kennedy: The Media helped sell the lie of the lone assassin".
As we all know, throughout history our governments and politicians have lied. They have conspired to obtain power, to overthrow governments, to destroy their political rivals, and to make money.… Read the rest
It's Not Just the Mainstream Media That Is Scripted to Manufacture Consent, so Are Our Politicians
via chycho
… Read the restTo say that mainstream media is controlled is an understatement. We've gone far past the time of relatively semi-covert CIA programs such as Operation Mockingbird where "some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees were eventually engaged in propaganda efforts." Those days are long gone; the mainstream media is now openly scripted (2-pdf) to manufacture consent.
"We're not analyzing the media on Mars or in the eighteenth century or something like that. We're dealing with real human beings who are suffering and dying and being tortured and starving because of policies that we are involved in, we as citizens of democratic societies are directly involved in and are responsible for, and what the media are doing is ensuring that we do not act on our responsibilities, and that the interests of power are served, not the needs of the suffering people, and not even the needs of the American people who would be horrified if they realized the blood that's dripping from their hands because of the way they are allowing themselves to be deluded and manipulated by the system." – Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, 1992
Manufacturing Consent: Thought Control in a Democratic Society
For example, in the following three videos, Conan O'Brien's Team Coco provide excerpts from a few mainstream media 'news' outlets, showing the full extent of the homogeneity of the script.
The Anti-Conspiracy Conspiracy
Why does the establishment media find the life and death of JFK so darn elusive? It's been 50 years and they still can't wrap their heads around it! Lotsa talk about the "myth" and "legend" of Camelot. Lotsa dismissals of "conspiracy theories." And, not coincidentally, a complete blackout of conspiracy facts. I wonder why people distrust the media…in this piece on Newsvandal.com:
Ironically, the establishment media incessantly theorizes about "what ifs" and groans about conspiracy theories while the people they accuse in absentia of being "theorists" dutifully, often heroically, gather and share conspiracy facts.
Tune into CBS or NBC or ABC or anywhere around the dial, and you do not see James DiEugenio or David Talbot or James Douglass. Instead you get Chris Matthews and Rob Lowe and, most disappointingly of all, Ken Burns. They speak like people who haven't read. They embrace a theory they haven't questioned.… Read the rest

Scott Laughton experienced the thrill of making an NHL opening-night roster twice. Shayne Gostisbehere got his first taste of professional hockey last season, as did Robert Hagg, who made his North American pro debut in 2013-14.
All the experiences did was make three key members of the future of the Philadelphia Flyers hungry for more.
"Every day I think about it," Laughton said. "Just try to work toward it."
Laughton, the Flyers' first-round pick (No. 20) in the 2012 NHL Draft, could be the closest of the three to making the team. He already has NHL experience, playing five games with Philadelphia at the start of the 2012-13 season.

Mayor Bloomberg's plan for the East River Waterfront revitalization takes advantage of a neglected, inaccessible stretch of land to create 2 miles of recreational opportunities. SHoP Architects undertook the job of designing the new park along with the renovation of Pier 15 and 35. Many of the fun activities available will be located underneath FDR Drive, including pedestrian trails, bocce ball, petanque, basketball, exercise areas and even a dog park. Native trees and plants will be used for landscaping to create a rich, green space and a pleasant environment.
According to The Lo Down, the plan for the EcoPark is to rebuild the pier as a recreational space stretching for one-thousand feet into the water. Funded by a grant from the New York State Department of State Division of Coastal Resources, Pier 35 will become an innovative habitat restoration park. But all this takes time, so don't get too excited yet about lounging near the water on Pier 35 – it won't be done until 2014.

There's a growing realization that policy cannot be shaped from the shadows.
A bunch of alcoholics and addicts mingled throughout the elegant galleries of the Walker Art Center on a recent evening.
They were there for a sold-out screening of a new documentary called "The Anonymous People." The film's title is — take your pick — a misnomer, ironic or a conundrum. Because these people, so universally and traditionally anonymous in American society for so long, were resolutely, even defiantly, not anonymous this night. Or anymore, for that matter.
In public, in front of God and everyone, they were celebrating their recovery from drugs and alcohol and saying to the world, in effect: Take a look — we wear neither horns nor tails; we're here. Get used to it, because we want our place at the table where public policy is shaped. And we're willing to go public to start shaping that policy.
"The idea here is there's power in our stories that can change public perception about this issue of addiction," said Greg Williams, director of "The Anonymous People." "You're talking about 10 percent of the American people who are sick, another 10 percent who've gotten well and are in long-term recovery. So everybody knows somebody who's affected. We're trying to open people's hearts to the fact that maybe we're not such bad people."
Fact: There are an estimated 23 million Americans in some stage of recovery from their addictions, and nearly as many still suffering from the untreated chronic abuse of drugs and alcohol. In terms of health and public safety costs to the nation, the annual bill for this disease totals as much as $350 billion a year, more than $5 billion in Minnesota alone.
But nearly all of these people are, in effect, mostly invisible, leaving the public face of addiction in this country to the tabloids and TV snippets that revel in celebrities' gory, booze-soaked train wrecks. "Here's the thing," Williams narrates in his film. "I'm not supposed to tell you about my addiction."
The biggest reason for the invisibility is the fact that a cultural cornerstone to recovery has been anonymity, a founding principle of Alcoholics Anonymous, the grandfather of all 12-step programs and the literal lifeline to sobriety for millions of people. But anonymity, recovery advocates say, has been too often a handmaiden to shame, keeping recovering people hidden away, speaking only to one other.
That's changing. As one recovering person in "The Anonymous People" puts it, "I'm so sick of being embarrassed about being an addict — I don't want to have a meeting in a church basement. I want to have it in a boardroom." Another points out: "There's 30 of us standing in front of a church, smoking. What secret is this?"
The film, self-financed via the Internet by Williams, a 29-year-old recovering drug addict from Connecticut, raises the curtain on what is most vividly taking the form of political activism across the nation. In this state, with its deep roots in addiction treatment ("Minnesota Model," anyone?) the most numerous boots on the ground have been mustered by members of the Minnesota Recovery Connection, a nonprofit organization that increasingly has been making its voice heard at the Capitol. As so many other advocacy groups do, members gather in the Capitol rotunda for an annual rally, buttonhole legislators on a weekly basis and, most notably, have thrust themselves deeply into the fractious debate over raising the state's alcohol tax for the first time in a generation.
"Yes, Minnesota is a big state for recovery, and everyone here knows about treatment, but we seem to be behind in terms of the emerging recovery movement," said Nell Hurley, executive director of the Minnesota Recovery Connection. "Politically, this has gone in cycles. For a long time, we were under a shroud, sharing invisibility. There have been shifts politically, then people have gone back in the shadows. But it's been coming back again, and there's more momentum, with this movement spreading across the country. It's kind of a third iteration — maybe we're at a tipping point."
The first documented emergence of recovery advocacy, contained in the film, occurred in the 1960s, when Bill Wilson, who founded Alcoholics Anonymous, testified before Congress. More than a decade later, former Iowa Sen. Harold Hughes, himself a recovering alcoholic, chaired a committee focused specifically on the disease, which corresponded with a short-lived movement called "Operation Understanding," a kind of coming-out party for those recovering from addiction, featuring luminaries at the time such as astronaut Buzz Aldrin and comedian Dick Van Dyke.
Then, nothing. Hughes, considered the political godfather of the recovery movement, lamented after he left office, "tell America you got well. And if you can't, please pray for us."
Hughes' mantle was taken up in Congress by former Rep. Jim Ramstad, now 31 years in recovery and long a prominent public advocate for the movement. "Harold Hughes went to his grave disappointed that more had not been done for the recovery community," Ramstad said. "For a long time, people refused to share their stories. But there's no question the influence is starting to grow."
Most notably at the federal level, Ramstad points to the act first championed by the late Sen. Paul Wellstone and passed into law only in 2008. It places treatment for mental health and addiction treatment on equal footing with other medical conditions and diseases. And that parity of coverage is fully embedded within Obamacare.
All of this advocacy in the public square would seem to run headlong into the anonymity so essential to 12-step programs, creating what would appear to be an insurmountable hurdle. Not necessarily, Ramstad and others say, because both can be respected as long as they're kept in distinctly separate spheres.
"I've been criticized for going public with my alcoholism, and that tension between the private and public will always exist," Ramstad said. "But I never mention AA in a public venue — I identify myself as a member of the recovery community. The whole point is to reach the people who are still suffering and reduce the stigma."
It requires reaching beyond what Ramstad calls his "fellow travelers" and taking a step past the 12th Step of Alcoholics Anonymous, which exhorts members to "carry the message to other alcoholics" and present a message to the far wider world.
"The general public doesn't understand our code," Hurley said. "I never identify myself as a recovering alcoholic. I'm in long-term recovery and only anonymous in the realm of AA. There's room for advocacy for people who are not members. It's important to explicate we're not challenging the traditions, but are trying to make the recovery community more visible."

First class amenities. Excellent staff.
50 inch HD tv
It was clean and quiet. The room was adequate size and bed was queen. Staff curtious. Resturant convenient and waitress, Brandi, helpfull and a good server.
No problems.
The room we were in was NOT just a square box. We didn't feel like we were in a hotel. It was great.
The bed was a little "used up". Not so bad, but had a little too much sag in the center.
Location is prime as you are within walking distance of Ford Field and Comerica Park.
The mini-bar in the refrigerator has sensors on the cans of pop/beer and if you literally move them (to put your left overs in the fridge, or for any other reason) then it is automatically billed to your room. I found a way to purchase $40 of Coke, diet Coke, Sprite, and Bud Light.
Room wasn't ready on time. Someone's else's dirty washcloth was on tub. I was billed for grill food and was never at grill. I told staff in the morning but still watching to make sure I get the credit for the restaurant charges!!
Staff when i checked in was great. Offered me a cookie, chips, and water. Very service oriented.
There was some hair in the bathtub when i arrived to my room.
no hot water for shower on sunday morning
Didn't like anything about this motel.
They made fraudulent charges to my MasterCard.
Location, price and kitchenette
Trash was pilled up outside the room.
Very clean & quiet
Breakfast selections were very slim
Location is very convinient. Room was clean, had MW adnsmall fridge, was very handy for the family with a kid.
I arrived a bit earlier than 1 pm check-in time. There was not a single room available. The place was fully booked :) which is downside for us, but the place is indeed popular and good.
I liked the price -- plus tax for one bedroom king bed
The light cut off for about 15 min in early morning
Front desk personel were kind, helpful and gracious. I love the location and great parking.
Unfortunately the rooms don't have sound barriers because some other guests were noisy which rendered me with 2 sleepless nights. Its good to hear that renovations are under way because the rooms look old and run down. disinfect bathrooms better.
The front desk staff were nothing but friendly and professional. They went out of their way to help with anything that they could.
The bar tender at The Grille could have been more pleasant and friendly. I was with a group of three and she seemed more concerned with some of the "regulars" and we were pretty much ignored.
I was thrilled with the room
I didn't like the fact that valet gave me such a hard time to park my car I had to show him my email that my room was paid for
The fact that it was like a small apartment!
The fact the bed was not changed and they staff refuse to change the covers they were very rude wokers there we were told to change our own covers or check out...just like that.mean I will never return there again
Great shower. Nice beds. Very friendly staff.
This was the dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed in, I can't believe it showed up at the top of my kayak search. The room supplied minimal toiletries, I waited 45 minutes for the airport shuttle to arrive and then another 25 minutes to drive the mile to the hotel because the shuttle made so many stops.
The public area's were very nice and appealing. Indoor and outdoor pool were both clean. Room was large bathroom was nice. Large bar area (did not use but looked nice). Biggest continental Breakfast I've ever seen.
Slow drain in shower was annoying. Iron chained to ironing board rendered the entire board useless. Bed was very hard, uneven and uncomfortable. Breakfast was HUGE but very limited selection of food. It was huge in SIZE not in selection, but still better than the average CONTINENTAL breakfast.
It was worth it's value, I purchased it on kayak at a reduced price. Alexis the front desk agent was very nice! The room was comfortable , however the clock was set to the wrong time and the shower curtain had some stains.
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.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

6 Scenes We Love From 'Uncle Buck'
Features By Christopher Campbell on August 19, 2014 | Be the First To CommentMaybe it's because the anniversary fell on the weekend, but it's shocking how few tributes there are to Uncle Buck turning 25. I know, it's only John Hughes's second-highest-grossing movie as a director (out of eight), and only currently (according to Rotten Tomatoes) the ninth best-reviewed of his movies in any creative capacity (out of 31). I understand that it's a fairly insignificant comedy without a lot of cultural or historical relevance. It's just Mr. Mom (scripted by Hughes) without the social contexts of the recession and the rise of women in the workforce that makes that movie an important piece of American cinema. It's a sitcom that didn't even translate well to television. A saccharine family film that's actually not that appropriate for children — and that's after a cut was made to the theatrical version due to parent complaints (the drunk clown scene was apparently more profane). Uncle Buck might suffer for being sort of sandwiched between two more popular movies: Planes, Trains and Automobiles, which may have inspired John Candy's role here, and Home Alone, which is said to have been inspired by a scene with Macaulay Culkin in this movie. Yet speaking of Culkin, he's one of the reasons that Uncle Buck deserves more recognition. While the movie is primarily a vehicle for Candy and his sloven, ignorant and occasionally violent childcare shtick, it's most notable for its youngest players, namely Culkin and Gaby Hoffmann, who own every scene they're in, with or without their large co-star. Their performances are mainly limited to reaction shots, […]

Two Egyptian policemen caught on tape abusing and sodomizing a male bus driver were convicted Monday in an Egyptian court. Islam Nabih, a police captain, and Reda Fathi, a noncommissioned officer, were each sentenced to three years in prison. "God is great! Thank God!" the victim Emad al-Kebir, 22, said after the ruling, according to press reports. "I regained my rights. I don't want anything more than that." THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDS Blotter Bloggers Vs. Floggers: Another Video Exposes Police Brutality in Egypt Blotter Egypt: Torture, Sodomy Exposed in Cell Phone Videos Click Here for Full Blotter Coverage. The torturing of al-Kebir is only one of several cases of police brutality in Egypt caught on tape, as previously reported on the Blotter on ABCNews.com. The videos, taken with cell phones, had been posted by Egyptian blogger Wael Abbas on his blog, "Egyptian Awareness," and on the popular video-sharing site YouTube. While the videos have proved effective in bringing charges against some officers in Egypt, the Human Rights Watch World Report 2007 on Egypt said the organization "continues to receive credible reports that security services and police routinely torture and mistreat detainees." In addition, bloggers and journalists who reveal incidences of torture by Egyptian police officers have found themselves charged with harming the national interest. "Rather than eradicating torture, the government is eradicating coverage of torture and targeting journalists," Elijah Zarwan, a Cairo-based researcher for Human Rights Watch, told ABC News back in January. Zarwan says Egypt needs to change its definition of torture to fit international standards. He explains that the current definition does not include psychological harm, for example. Also, suspects who claim to have been tortured are often not seen by a doctor for weeks, which makes it difficult to establish if and how they were tortured, he says. Another important step would be dropping emergency laws, which give the Egyptian government broad powers and allow it to detain people without charging them.

The dry, smoldering, treeless terrain within this 106,000-acre national park stands in stunning contrast to the cool, green conifer forest that surrounds it. That's the summer; in winter tons of snow ensures you won't get too far inside its borders. Still, entering the park from the southwest entrance is to suddenly step into another world. The lavascape offers a fascinating glimpse into the earth's fiery core. In a fuming display the terrain is marked by roiling hot springs, steamy mud pots, noxious sulfur vents, fumaroles, lava flows, cinder cones, craters and crater lakes.
In earlier times the region was a summer encampment and meeting point for Native American tribes – namely the Atsugewi, Yana, Yahi and Maidu. They hunted deer and gathered plants for basket-making here. Some indigenous people still live nearby and work closely with the park to help educate visitors on their ancient history and contemporary culture.

Jordan Belfort Is Now Attempting to Become the Wolf of Reality TV
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on December 30, 2013 | 1 CommentYou know him and hate him as the loud-mouthed financial superstar portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. Well get ready, gang, because Jordan Belfort is potentially coming to television in a reality show currently getting shopped around the networks. It makes sense, because if anyone could embody the unofficial slogan of the reality TV world, "I'm not here to make friends," it's probably Belfort.
While audiences have been enthralled with Belfort's story told through the Martin Scorsese film (or not), fellow rich guy and Electus CEO Chris Grant read the source material — Belfort's memoir of the same name — and saw a natural born star in his real-life version. You see, he's not just the man who scammed investors out of $110 million throughout the 1990s and partied with a guy who probably looked vaguely like Jonah Hill, he's now a "successful motivational speaker" living and working out of Los Angeles after serving time for his crimes.
Grant, who runs the studio that has brought us such bastions of reality wealth like Fashion Star and Mob Wives, tracked Belfort down in LA; the twosome began working on a pitch together that highlighted Belfort's "unique set of business skills." He has a very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career.
Because he's not that Jordan Belfort anymore (seriously, he's so chill now), the proposed reality show will have the once-wild child of Wall Street serving as a living and breathing cautionary tale of sorts by meeting people who have also hit rock bottom, and then stepping in to help them seek and achieve redemption for their wicked ways.
According to Grant, interest is high from the networks the team has already pitched because nobody can resist the magnetic allure of Belfort's shining, dazzling personality. He went on to say that "he was described to us after leaving the room as 'TV gold,'" by network executives. Not sure if you can hear it too, but that whispering in the wind might be Grant asking Belfort "you wanna be a star, kid?" before telling him to put on his biggest smile pre-meeting.
Truth be told, Grant may have a hit on his hands. The fascination with Belfort likely isn't going to die down anytime soon; since its Christmas Day premiere, The Wolf of Wall Street has earned over $30 million and is still going strong. The show isn't going to focus on Belfort's hard-partying, hard-living, shady-dealing ways of his past, so there's a chance that they might lose out on an audience looking for a replication of what they saw featured in Scorsese's film. However, if there's one thing that reality TV audiences appreciate, it's sort of famous people doing things they weren't famous for on TV. We've accepted Vanilla Ice going Amish; let's see Jordan Belfort's motivational tour.

MLB debut

Career statistics
(through 2012 season) |
Win–loss record | 21–12 | ||
Earned run average | 3.64 | ||
Strikeouts | 268 | ||
Rafael Jerome Pérez (born May 15, 1982) is a left-handed professional baseball relief pitcher. He was signed by the Cleveland Indians as an undrafted free agent in January 2002. He currently lives in Freeport, New York, on Long Island.
Minor league career[edit]
In 2002, Pérez finished second in the Dominican Summer League with a 0.96 ERA. In 2003, he was named Appalachian League Pitcher of the Year playing for the Single-A Burlington Indians and led the Appalachian League in wins (9-3) and ERA (1.70).In 2005, his 12 wins tied for 3rd in Indians organization and he had a 2.62 ERA in 29 combined appearances (22 starts) for Kinston and Akron. He was added to the Indians 40-man roster in November. In 2006, Pérez had a 2.81 ERA in 12 starts with Akron and a 2.63 ERA in 13 relief appearances with Triple-A Buffalo.
Major league career[edit]
He made his major League debut on April 20, 2006, against Baltimore, pitching one inning and striking out two.[1]
Pérez was not expected to be a major part of the Indians' major league club in 2007, but he surprised the Indians organization after he was called up from the team's Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, on May 28. Pérez was initially slated for long relief, but after he demonstrated his ability to pitch in tight situations, he was inserted into a setup role alongside right-handed reliever Rafael Betancourt. The two setup men were nicknamed Raffy Left and Raffy Right by local Indians fans.[2] Pérez, with his hard fastball and tight slider, quickly became one of the most dominant relievers in the league. In 2007, Pérez posted a sparkling 1.78 ERA, over 602⁄3 innings pitched in 44 appearances. He had a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of only .923, and has held left-handed batters to just a .145 batting average. ESPN analyst Peter Gammons called him "arguably the best left-handed reliever on the planet."[citation needed]
On February 14, 2013, Pérez signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins.[3] He signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers on January 18, 2014. He signed a minor league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 12, 2014.

The Democrat Party has vowed to challenge all the charter amendment bills at the vetting committee stage.
Party MP Warong Dejkitvikrom, a member of the committee vetting the amendment bills for sections 68 and 237 of the constitution, affirmed that Democrat members will participate in all three committees deliberating the bills.
Boycotts by Democrat members could pave the way for the government to ram through the amendment procedure quickly, he said.

I was advised to use a 19-19-19 fert on my recently hydroseeded lawn by my landscaper. I bought the product and everything seems okay EXCEPT the instructions say "Scotts R8A setting K 1/2". I have a Scotts rotary but the calibration is in numerals not letters. I've spent some time searching and I found two wildly different answers. One said, take the lbs per 1000 square feet and use that as numeral setting (in this case, I'm looking for 5.2 lbs per 1000 so I'd set it to 5.2). Another post said, count the number in the alphabet and use that (in this case, K = 11, so I'd set to 11). Clearly, the second number is double the first Also, do I cross hatch? Or if I chose to cross hatch do I use 1/2 strength setting? I promise, I'm not trying to be difficult. Up until this point I've only used milorgranite. That's a much simpler process. |

There are a number of ways to calibrate spreaders. Just FYI, my Scotts rotary will spread triple 19 in one pass at the 5#/M rate at a setting of 5 1/2, but the spreader is a number of years old and not all spreaders are created equal. One of the easiest methods of calibrating is to set the spreader at a number approximately 1/2 of the recommended setting. My setting should be at least in the ballpark for you. So set your spreader at 2 3/4 or 3 and make one pass of the entire area in one direction. Pour the unused fertilizer back in the bag and weigh the bag with a bathroom scale. Calculate how much you used and adjust the setting up or down as needed for the second pass in the opposite direction. For example, it you have a 10 thousand sq ft lawn, you are going to need a full 50 pound bag for the 5#3M product rate. If you set the spreader at 3 for the first pass and you have 30 pounds left in the bag after that pass, a setting of 3 applied 2#/M. You are going to need to increase the setting for the second pass.If you find you applied 30# on the first pass at the 3 setting, you will need to lower the setting for the second pass. Your calculation for the second pass setting is not going to be laser accurate and it would be best to be conservative and apply a bit less fertilizer than way too much. Either + or - 1/2#/M of product isn't going to hurt anything. |

NASA Looking At Nuclear Thermal Rockets To Explore the Solar System 130
from the i'll-order-a-dozen dept.
from the i'll-order-a-dozen dept.
MarkWhittington writes: Officially, NASA has been charged with sending astronauts to Mars sometime in the 2030s. Toward that end, according to a story in Universe Today, space agency engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center are looking at an old concept for interplanetary travel, nuclear thermal engines. "...according to the report (cached), an NTP rocket could generate 200 kWt of power using a single kilogram of uranium for a period of 13 years – which works out of to a fuel efficiency rating of about 45 grams per 1000 MW-hr. In addition, a nuclear-powered engine could also provide superior thrust relative to the amount of propellant used." However, some doubts have been expressed whether NASA will be granted the budget to develop such engines.

6 Ways Our Heaters Stop Loving & Our A/C Gets Stuck
For Men: Re-parent yourself by appreciating yourself for all you do, suspend needing your partner's acknowledgement and appreciation temporarily. Nurture your male side. Do not feel like you have to surrender your sense of self in order to please your partner.
5. Loss of Acceptance. All at once you begin noticing everything your partner does wrong or needs to change. This is the same person you felt was perfect and perfect for you, and now out of nowhere you have a compulsion to change, improve, or rehabilitate them.
For Women: To re-parent, slowly open up and take time to understand and experience your feelings and validate your own needs. Release the need to change him.
6. Loss of Understanding. Suddenly while our partners are saying something, we become critical or judgmental of their feelings and reactions. We do this by minimizing their pain as if it doesn't really matter. However, if they were physically wounded, we would still risk our lives to save them. Even though this is the most important person in our life—we quickly become disinterested and impatient with them. When they are sharing their feelings, we become defensive and feel as if we're being attacked.
For Men: To re-parent slowly open up and appreciate yourself for all that you do, even if your partner is not doing this. Graciously excuse yourself, go into your cave, and do something that nurtures your male side. Take the time to consider what her feelings are without feeling pressure to immediately respond and say something.
If we find our hearts closed or closing down, it is our responsibility to open them back up. We are no longer children, and as an adult in an adult relationship, we have to take responsibility for our actions. By taking responsibility even if you still feel defensive, you'll release yourself from negativity, and be able think logically about what was being said. By nurturing your female side if you're a woman and your male side if you're a man, you bring value back to yourself, while working through the feelings.
Childhood feelings threaten our responsibility if we find ourselves feeling it is the other person's fault for not doing x, y, or z or doing a, b, c, to us. It is by acknowledging you feel blame, and then deciding for ourselves that we are committed to forgiveness, that we're able to come back to our adult selves and release our immature feelings. Next time we'll talk about how to nurture your male/female sides.

There's no shortage of ways to track your data while working out, especially when it comes to things like running and cycling. There's Runkeeper, Map My Ride/Run, Endomondo, Strava, and many others. Which one you choose really comes down to personal preference, but each has its own set of benefits and features that may make it a better fit into your life. Personally, I've been using Runtastic since I reviewed the Orbit a couple of months ago, and settled in with the company's dedicated road cycling app after getting the Runtastic-branded Speed & Cadence Sensor and Heart Rate Monitor.
Bicycles have been a fairly major part of society for the last couple hundred years, and a lot of technological advancements have made their way into the cycling world over time. What was once purpose-built for getting from A to B has become so much more – everything from racing on the streets to singletrack in the mud, there's a bike built for it. Of course, all around the globe there are millions of riders who hop on their commuter and head off to...wherever.
As long as bicycles have existed, those who wish to steal said bicycles have found new and inventive ways to get around whatever locking mechanisms are put in place to keep them safe. As a result, lock manufacturers have to come up with new ways to ensure their products do what they're supposed to: keep the locked bike from being stolen. Among all the different designs, the U-style lock has widely been adopted as the best and overall strongest.
There's a reason Moves has attracted millions of downloads on iOS. It doesn't require the purchase of a separate device, instead turning the smartphone that's already in your pocket into a pedometer. This isn't unheard of on Android, but Moves is available for free and isn't weighed down by ads. ProtoGeo wants Moves to be an app that mainstream people actually use, and that means keeping it clean, simple, and non-intrusive.
When it comes to cardio, some people like to run. For those people, Runtastic is a great app. Now, however, Runtastic is expanding its reach with a pair of apps designed for two other specific niches: road and mountain bikers.
Each app is designed specifically with its target audience in mind, offering metrics that each type of rider will find beneficial. Here's a look at what each respective app offers:
My Tracks is one of my favorite apps. I use it took keep track of distance traveled while cycling, and then upload my route to Maps and the data to Google Drive. This way, I can reference back and check my progress whenever I want.
Today, Google updated My Tracks to include one function that I've longed for since I starting using the app: the ability to pause and resume recording.
