A place to be, home away from home, excellent customer service, customer friendly staffs, and love for the people they serve.
Our short stay. We wish we could extend our stay because of their great customer service.
Customer satisfaction is their #1 goal!!!
Noise from stairs & elevator all hours of the night. Try to get a room on the opposite end of the hall.
Awesome value. Super clean. I love how Motel 6's are revamping their whole look. Super clean inside and the rooms look like they're from an IKEA ad.
Comforter was too warm, without having the room too cold. Great breakfast!
The cleanliness was exceptional
There was nothing I didn't like.
It was convenient to the Texas Motor Speedway.
Breakfast area is too small the size of the hotel. No seating for a few minutes when we got there.
The complimentary breakfast was very good. Far above average.
The location was not good for me considering the roads I came and left on.
that after traveling 16 hours that day there was a hotel available on our route for a good price
There seemed to be a mix up in the reservation, I was sure that I made it for 2 rooms with 2 adults. However I was unable to confirm this due to challenges with my service...so when I got there he asked me to pay the additional 5.00 per room...then the carpet in the rooms was sticky, the sheets and towels were dingy..definatly gave the overall impression of being dirty
The location was close to where we needed to be.
Non-smoking room was smoky, musty, and seemed barely cleaned.
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.

DENVER - Consider us converted. On the bandwagon. True believers.
Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's game-winning touchdown on his first play of overtime to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday won over even those agnostics in my family who'd been questioning his football credentials. But some of us are still a bit uncomfortable with the QB's constant flaunting of his Christian faith, beginning virtually every interview thanking Jesus and ending with
"God bless."
As "Jesus" said in a recent Saturday Night Live skit, "Just take it down a notch."
There is certainly much to admire about Tebow's shows of faith, as my She the People colleague Judith Howard Ellis eloquently articulated earlier this month in contrasting him with Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry.
Tebow added to his cred by hosting a teen with a chronic disease who has endured more than 70 surgeries at Sunday's game — and mentioning her battle in the post-game press conference.
He's also declined to make an endorsement in the GOP presidential primaries, despite Perry's invocation that he'd like to be the Tebow of the race.
But the lauding of Tebow's Christianity has me recollecting another Denver athlete who once flaunted his faith, on the basketball court in the mid-1990s, and paid a price for it.
Chris Jackson joined the Denver Nuggets as a third-round draft pick in 1990 and converted to Islam a few years later, changing his name to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. As a point guard, Abdul-Rauf was fun to watch; he led the NBA in free-throw shooting for two years, dished the assists and was one of the Nuggets leading scorers. And he did all this despite having Tourette syndrome, which often caused him to twitch oddly on the court.
But in March 1996, about five years after his conversion, Abdul-Rauf decided his faith prohibited him from standing for the national anthem. He came to think of the American flag as "a symbol of oppression and tyranny."
The reaction was swift: the NBA suspended Abdul-Rauf for a game. The public outcry was brutal. Four radio station employees charged into a Denver mosque to play the anthem on a trumpet and bugle; they were charged with misdemeanors.
Abdul-Rauf was subsequently traded to the Sacramento Kings, and his NBA career never recovered.
Certainly Tebow's expression of his faith - and indeed, the practice of his faith - is protected by the First Amendment's rights to free speech and freedom of religion.
But if a Muslim player thanked Allah after every game, ended every interview with "praise Allah," would we afford him the same respect we give Tebow? Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf knows the answer.

If your dog eats a mushroom bought at the grocery store, there is little risk of poisoning. Most mushrooms that are safe for people are also safe for pets. Wild mushrooms, unfortunately, may be deadly. And in the fall and spring, they can be a concern in many parts of the country. Dogs are more frequently affected by mushroom poisoning due to their scavenging while in the yard or on walks, but
cats can be affected, too. In general, you should consult your veterinarian immediately if you suspect mushroom ingestion — and get a sample of the fungus if you are able.
Mushrooms of many different species are found in parks, yards and woods. Wild mushrooms range from edible varieties to those that
cause vomiting and/or hallucinations — or even liver failure and death — in people and pets. Mushroom identification is very difficult, and you should consult a trained professional before eating a wild mushroom of any kind. Mushroom types vary around the country, and the appropriate departments of colleges, schools or agricultural extension offices should be consulted when attempting to identify mushrooms, as their prevalence, preferred locations, suspected toxicity and even physical appearance can differ by region.
To make things even more difficult, the mushroom your dog eats may not be the same as the one still on the lawn. Many varieties grow in the same conditions, and
dogs may ingest one type but leave another in the same location untouched, thus leading to a false assumption about what variety was eaten. In addition, many mushrooms, especially those found everywhere and commonly called "little brown mushrooms," can look similar yet cause different symptoms that ultimately may be lethal.
Despite their outward appearances, mushrooms are typically grouped by toxicologists and mycologists (those who study mushrooms) according to the dominant suspected toxin they contain (although many poisonous mushrooms may contain more than one toxic substance). Many mushrooms are also known by their common names, but since these can vary by country, region or culture, the same mushroom can be called several things. Here is a brief overview, based on calls to the ASPCA's poison control hotline, of some of the more common mushrooms that cause problems in pets. See our
companion photo gallery for a look at some of the more recognizable species of potentially poisonous mushrooms found in North America.
Thankfully, many
mushroom species cause only gastrointestinal upset. Depending on the species,
affected dogs begin to vomit within 15 minutes to several hours after ingestion; the
vomiting can last a few hours to a couple of days.

So I'm really trying not to have a pity-party for myself - I'm not. I'm a full-time barn owner/trainer/breeder, and as any BO knows, vacations are not easy to come by. That being said, my DH and I made plans to vacay to California to the Breeder's Cup and go to the San Diego Zoo. We planned on this for several months. I have had a rough, rough year on my farm: I lost two horses to colic, including my very best lesson horse who had also been my event horse. I also had unwarranted and uninvited drama that makes most daytime soaps look like fairytales. Additionally, my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Things were finally beginning to settle down - drama left and we were moving on. But it was agreed that DH and I definitely needed to get out of Dodge for a few days before I ended up in a padded room with men in white coats spoon-feeding me jell-o.
There was one more issue though: My brother (half-brother actually - Dad's son) had been estranged from our family for several months - probably longer, due to his severe alcohol and prescription drug addiction. At one time, my brother had been a millionaire but went on a downward spiral and lost literally everthing as his addiction grew worse. He had stayed with several family members, including my parents (who live next door to me) but everyone ended up kicking him out due to his behavior. He and I had a major blow-up earlier in the year due to his behavior. I have resented him for the last couple of years to due his lack of interest in his (and mine) ailing father. I have been angry that the only time he would call our father was to ask for money. I have resented him and been angry at him for a very, very long time. It is sad - when I was a kid he used to be my hero. I always wanted to be just like him and I wanted to do everything that he did. In the last couple of months, we simply didn't talk. I found out that it was possible to hate someone and love them at the same time. A couple of weeks ago he called and left me a message to call him back. I never did.
Fast-forward to last Thursday. DH and I landed in California and as soon as I turned my phone on, I was bombarded with messages from home. While we were in the air, my brother died in a car accident.
Ten minutes into my desperately-needed vacation from all of the drama that I have endured in the last year, I find out my brother died.
My DH and I stayed in CA and went to the Breeder's Cup and the Zoo and did various other things, at my family's urging. And I managed to have a good time, even though I felt like a black cloud was hanging over me. Last night we arrived home - to a TB filly who decided to re-arrange my fencing and mangle her leg in the process (she'll be fine - mostly superficial stuff and nothing serious, thank goodness.) I am super, super tired. The funny thing is that I can't sleep very well, even though I can barely function.
The family will hold a small memorial service for my brother here at the farm in a couple of weeks - his ashes are being shipped here.
So yeah. That's what I did on my vacation. It just really sucks.

Toad the Wet Sprocket
Leroy Justice
Brooklyn Bowl
61 Wythe Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 6:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Named in honor of a sketch by the Monty Python comedy troupe, this 4-piece band of Santa Barbara, CA high school cronies came to be known as Toad the Wet Sprocket in 1986. To this day, their mellow, melodic folk-pop sound made them one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the early 1990s.
Singer Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss spent time honing their skills in area bars. Then, in 1988, they entered a nearby studio and came out with their debut LP, Bread and Circus. Recorded in just 8 days and for a cost of $650, this inaugural recording was originally sold in Santa Barbara area record stores as a home- made cassette. While the band was recording their second album, Pale (16 days & $6,000) they caught the attention of the LA offices of Columbia Records. After agreeing to the band's request to reissue Bread and Circus only in its original form — without any alterations or remixes – Columbia Records signed Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Then in 1991, Toad the Wet Sprocket's commercial breakthrough came as the single "All I Want" (which had nearly been left off the 1991 album Fear) became a Top 20 hit. Gavin's airplay reports also listed it as number one. After "Fear" was certified platinum, another single from the LP, "Walk on the Ocean," also became a successful track for the band. They played over 300 shows on the Fear tour, a two-year marathon ending in throat surgery for Phillips' overused pipes.
Three years later, Toad returned with Dulcinea, generating yet another Top 40 hit (not to mention a six week run as number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks) with the single "Fall Down." Dulcinea then also sold enough copies to reward Toad with another platinum certification.
1995 brought In Light Syrup, a collection of unreleased material, B-Sides and movie soundtrack songs. Featuring "Good Inten- tions," another hit single that's also been featured on the platinum selling Friends TV show soundtrack, In Light Syrup recently became certified gold.
Coil, Toad the Wet Sprocket's fifth proper LP, followed in 1997. Then in July, 1998, the group parted ways. Even so, in 1999, PS (A Toad Retrospective) was released. In 2004, Columbia/Legacy released Toad's live CD Welcome Home, Live from the Arlington Theater.
Since 2006, the band has played to enthusiastic crowds of all ages across the country, proving that great music truly is timeless.
Jason Gallagher, front man for Leroy Justice, is talking about Above The Weather – the band's first major label release, coming in April 2013 on the Elm City Music label with distribution by Caroline/Capitol Music Group.
"We felt that if we wanted to keep playing music, we would have to explore new ways to write, arrange, and produce songs. The result is an album where we pushed our limits creatively, while still living in the world of rock and roll we love."
The album title, he explains, "was inspired by the weather itself. There was a time when it seemed to rain every time we played a show – it became a running joke."
Above The Weather is the next level for Leroy Justice, and a potential career breakthrough for the New York City quintet with roots in the Wyoming Valley (Scranton/Wilkes Barre) region of Pennsylvania. Here is a multi–hued portrait of a band that reaches back to the American musical bedrock – and the best qualities of the American character – to create contemporary rock music that may question our troubled present but also points to the better world that may yet be possible.
It's a diverse and dynamic set that showcases Leroy Justice's musical maturation since the release of The Loho Sessions in 2009. The new album also introduces 22–year–old guitar wunderkind Justin Mazer, who makes his disc debut with Leroy Justice on Above The Weather.
"The Valley is our home," says Jason. "The music scene there is so alive with amazing players and bands. We knew Justin through friends, and after playing with him just once, we knew he was the perfect fit."
The ten songs that comprise Above The Weather were subject to extensive pre– production rehearsals in the band's own Pennsylvania rehearsal room. Jason Gallagher explains: "It's a converted bakery – there's still a gigantic oven the size of a studio apartment, and there was no heat or a/c until we installed a heater. But the room sounds great."
As album producer, Jason worked closely with two important non–members.
John Siket, credited with mix engineering and additional production, has participated in every Leroy Justice album since their 2006 debut Revolution's Son in addition to working on projects with the Dave Matthews Band and Yo La Tengo.
Bil Emmons, whose credits include Lykke Li and Sonic Youth, came aboard as the band's new front–of–house sound mixer but soon applied his talents as chief engineer for the Above The Weather sessions.
On Above The Weather, Leroy Justice displays the kind of songwriting and arranging skills that have characterized great American rock bands from Neil Young & Crazy Horse to the Allman Brothers Band. Songs like "Up On The Mountain," "Blue Eyed Blues," "So Long," and "Two Trees" are destined to become staples of Leroy Justice's compelling live show, an emotion–packed thrill ride shared by musicians and listeners alike.
That commitment to a collective musical experience is one that this group shares with such like–minded acts as the North Mississippi All Stars, Blues Traveler, and moe. – all of whom have been warmly supportive of Leroy Justice, sharing stage time, advice, and encouragement.
The highway calls, the crowds await...and Leroy Justice is ready to roll with Above The Weather.

Tokyo scrambles for bottled water
Households with children to get ration
TOKYO – Parents in Tokyo and five surrounding cities scrambled for bottled water today after the government warned that infants should not be allowed to consume tap water because elevated levels of radioactive iodine from a crippled nuclear plant were detected at a water treatment plant.
Water tests in Tokyo found levels of radioactive iodine 131 about double the level deemed safe for infants under the age of 1. The levels were below the unsafe benchmark for adults. In parts of Fukushima prefecture, where the nuclear plant is located, radiation levels exceeded both thresholds.
Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara said the city's water was safe for "non-potable" use and urged residents to remain calm. But some convenience stores were sold out of bottled water today and officials planned to distribute bottled water to 80,000 households with young children. Calls soon flooded a hotline with questions about whether it was safe to breast-feed babies or take baths.
The water woes came a day after Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan urged consumers not to eat a dozen types of contaminated vegetables from the region surrounding the nuclear facility 150 miles northeast of the capital and expanded a shipment ban.
The national government said damage from the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident could reach nearly $310 billion. The disaster could shrink Japan's gross domestic product by 0.5 percent in fiscal year 2011, which begins April 1, the government said.
Workers continued their struggle to gain control over the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex, where white vapor that appeared to be steam rose today from three of the reactor buildings. Dark smoke at the No. 3 reactor that had forced officials to evacuate the facility a day earlier dissipated this morning, and emergency workers were preparing to begin injecting as much as 500 tons of sea water into its depleted-fuel pool, according to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. Temperatures in depleted-fuel pools at the reactors had fallen significantly, the agency reported today.
As relief officials and evacuees continued to battle subfreezing temperatures on the 13th day after the quake, the National Police agency said today that the death toll had increased to 9,523 and the number of missing to 16,067.
U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos and a contingent of U.S. military officials toured towns Wednesday along Japan's battered northern coast. In Ishinomaki, he offered words of encouragement and further pledges of American support to a group of survivors who have taken shelter in an elementary school gymnasium.
"Nature can damage property and kill human life but it cannot destroy the human spirit," Roos told displaced residents at the Watanoha elementary school, which served as a temporary shelter. "Today, I have witnessed the very best of humanity."
In Yamada city in Iwate prefecture, about 100 miles north of Sendai, University of California-Los Angeles pediatric critical care doctor Kozue Shimabukuro said mobility was improving after days in which residents were only able to get around by foot, she said, thanks in part to Japanese Self-Defense Force troops clearing massive amounts of debris. A gas shortage also has eased.

The tradeoff is supposed to be that the intern learns valuable on-the-job training, in lieu of a paycheck. However, Judge William H. Pauley III found the responsibilities assigned to the aforementioned interns Eric Glatt and Alexander Footman were similar enough to their paid counterparts that they should have been considered regular employees.
For the first time in Wes Anderson's career, it looks like we may get films in back-to-back years from the Moonrise Kingdom director. While it was originally thought that we wouldn't be seeing the filmmaker's next movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, until 2014, apparently plans may have changed.
Films rarely capture the same feeling of small town life that novels do. While written words can completely transplant the readers mind into the setting being developed, a film can only show your eyes what its like to be there. But that doesnt mean films wont keep trying.
The June 29 release will be limited, which means the opening weekend isn't actually that important-- if Beasts is a success, it will build its audience throughout the summer and never own the weekend, but be part of the conversation for many months
The 12-minute clip doesnt show you much more than you would have assumed knowing the premise. We see Denham and Vicius characters being prepared to meet Marlings prophet, and the teaser gives you an idea of Batmanglijs eerie tone. The bigger question is this: Does this unconventional approach to marketing help sell you on the film? Would you like to see more films reveal their openings, or would you prefer to go into a movie cold?
When the Academy Award nominees were announced, Shame was totally absent from the role call. Outraged critics and movie fans alike contributed Shame's snub to the Academy's prudish prejudices, and it seemed that might be the indie's last major hurrah. But just when we thought there was nothing else Shame could yield to shock the world, Fox Searchlight unleashes a shocking new poster which has been deemed too hot for Hungary, which has refused to run the one-sheet promo seen below.
Michael "Magneto" Fassbender plays a single, thirty-something New Yorker who has become addicted to sex for its own sake, free of intimacy or commitment (suspension of disbelief...fraying!). His carefree ways are thrown for a loop when his sister Cissy (Carey Mulligan) arrives and announces that she's moving in with him. Also, apparently he has a whole lot of porn on his computer.
2004s Napoleon Dynamite was more than just a movie that everyone quoted nonstop for months. Napoleon Dynamite was one of the great success stories of independent filmmaking. A couple of kids from Idaho wrote and directed a quirkier than quirky low budget movie about one of cinemas weirdest heroes which went on to make millions.
He Loves Me looks to have its share of quirk as well. Dano stars as a writer struggling for inspiration who writes about his dream woman and somehow wills her into existence. His real-life girlfriend Zoe Kazan will play the woman and also wrote the script
After making a run late in the festival as being the big critical darling of Sundance, then moving on to another successful appearance at SXSW, the tiny indie Sound of My Voice has finally snagged a distributor to match all that critical buzz
With the relatively mainstream The Fighter behind him and Uncharted up ahead Russell seems to have been aiming to get away from his stranger, Flirting With Disaster and I Heart Huckabees roots. But really, the Meyer biopic sounds perfect for him
Today we learned that Black Swan will get a full on wide release on December 22nd, but since its one of the most talked about movies in the year, you probably dont want to wait that long. Its already in limited
Fans of Terrence Malick have been waiting for his next film, The Tree of Life, since it was first announced in 2005. Despite rocking a cast headlined by Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, however, it has
There's pretty much nothing but good news here-- Hathaway is a strong actress who needs to seek out better roles and avoid something like Bride Wars forever and ever
While he debated a Robocop remake that eventually fell apart, Darren Aronofsky opted for the smaller, New York City-based project Black Swan. Now it's ready for release

The director will be Alex Holdridge, whose In Search of a Midnight Kiss got very little mainstream attention, but won the John Cassavetes Award at the 2009 Independent Spirits
It sounds a little too treacly and a little too much like The Blind Side, but then again, the notion of a movie about a white college professor whose life is changed by a Muslim street musician was pretty awful too, but The Visitor was outstanding
Fox Searchlight will reteam with Hilary Swank to distribute her film Betty Anne Waters. Between the stirring source material and the impressive cast, how could this not be good? Er I guess Amelia proved anything is possible.
Fox Searchlight has announced that Cyrus will open in limited release on July 9, with an expansion presumably to follow once urban audiences spread the word about how great it is
File this under Washed Up Celeb Begging For Money news. Angelyne, relative non-celebrity, is suing Fox Searchlight because a billboard of herself appears on screen for about 12 seconds in the 2009 Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious
See George Clooney actually rolling around in the grass as he voices his adventurer character, the tech guys actually explaining how they e-mailed shots from the film to Wes Anderson while he was in Paris, and some stories
Apparently we all spoke too soon. Fox Searchlight's official Twitter account is re-tweeting Roger Ebert's statement that the Chicago release is back on for November 13. No more news right now on where else the movie might expand
I think everyone is willing to chalk this up to an off year for Searchlight, which is still the studio with the guts to make movies like 500 Days, and has any number of exciting projects coming up. But the Gentlemen Broncos debacle is proof
I realize it's only been 30 years since they were at the height of their careers, but it's stunning that we haven't yet managed to get a Ramones biopic out there. Now it looks like precisely the right people are trying to get it going

Editorial on Nutting case guilty of jury tampering
Re "Political prosecution in El Dorado County" (Editorials, May 9): I am appalled to read this editorial in view that another story informs us that Tuesday, the jury returns to continue its deliberations. Although jurors are admonished not to watch TV or read newspapers about the case, this instruction is often not followed. There's plenty of time for tongues to start wagging among the citizens in El Dorado County, including the jurors.
Also troubling to me is the comparison to Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's mild "slap on the wrist" by the Fair Political Practices Commission to El Dorado Supervisor Ray Nutting, implying that this is the way politicians should be treated. I consider this editorial to be blatant jury tampering.

An adjustable side view mirror assembly (50) which includes a conventional pivotal mounting bracket (20) having an upper generally horizontal support portion (38). An adapter block has two halves (70,72) with matching slots (76) and (74) one above the other. The lower slot (74) is mounted on support portion (38) while the upper slot receives a slide bar (90). The mirror (22) is mounted at the outer end (92) of the slide bar (90) while stop means (96) are located at the inner end (94) to prevent the bar from sliding on through. A threadable member (102) locks the slide bar in the desired position.
1. In a side mounted rear view mirror assembly for vehicles including a pivotal mounting frame bracket which is mounted on a vehicle exterior panel and wherein said bracket includes a generally horizontal upper support section, the improvement, comprising:
(a) a generally rectangular adapter block means detachably and slidably mounted on said upper support section of said bracket and including a first inside end and a second outside end and having a first slot extending from said first to said second end for being received on said upper support section, said block means also including a second slot means above said first slot means extending from said first to said second end, said adapter bar being divided into two parts,
(b) an elongated slide adjustment bar means having an outer mirror mounting end and an inner retaining end and being slidably received in said second slot means of said block means for limited reciprocally slidable movement in said second slot, said bar means supporting a rear view mirror at its outer mirror mounting end, and
(c) said block means including a releasable lock means for adjustably holding said bar means such that said rear view mirror is positionable as desired between a first retracted position and a second extended position.
2. The side mounted rear view mirror assembly according to claim 1 and wherein said block means is made of said two parts divisible along a plane extending longitudinally of said slide bar means and such that the two parts have matching cavities to form said first and second slots so that when joined together they may be firmly secured on said upper support section and such that said slide bar means may be slidably and lockably positioned in said second slot.
3. The side mounted rear view mirror assembly according to claim 2 and in which said releasable lock means is a threaded bolt member.
4. The side mounted rear view mirror assembly according to claim 3 and wherein said second slot means is partially open along the upper surface of said slide bar means from said first inside to said second outside end of said block means.
5. The side mounted rear view mirror assembly according to claim 1 and wherein said inner end of said slide adjustment bar means has stop means thereon to prevent said bar from sliding on through said second slot means.
The invention relates generally to the field of side mounted, outside mirrors for cars and trucks and more particularly to a side mounted mirror which is horizontally movable and adjustable.
As operators are aware, vehicles used for carrying loads and towing, whether they be automobiles, pick-up trucks, vans or the like, frequently have a conventional side view mirror which does not enable the driver to see to the rear. This is particularly so where, for instance, an extra wide tow or load is involved such as a boat trailer, trailer home, camping trailer or high and wide load. Campers on the beds of pick-up trucks are another example. These loads are most often not only wide but long and the standard side mounted mirror simply does not permit an adequate line of vision to the rear of the load or tow. In addition there is the problem of blurring caused by vibration of the mirror on its mounting.
One solution with which many drivers are familiar is the extended mirror mounting frame which holds the mirror far enough away from the side of the vehicle so that the driver can observe to the rear of his load or tow. But the extra wide mirror mounts are usually a three point support frame structure attached to the outside of each front door panel. Unlike many if not most conventional mirror mounts which are rotatable or can fold back, the three point support frame is fixed. If the conventional rotatable mount is accidentally struck, it will collapse or fold back without damage to itself or to the door panel. On the other hand if a three point extended mirror frame is hit substantial damage can be done to the door panel or to the mounting frame itself.
One solution is to change back to the conventional mirror mount when the vehicle is not being used to carry a load or to tow. However, changing mirror mounts is tedious and time consuming.
The broad concept of a laterally adjustable mirror, from a first position near the door and door window to an outer or extended second position to establish a line of vision rearwardly of a load or tow, is old. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,165,156 to O'Connell a fold back mounting frame bracket is used together with a pivot arm for the mirror. The structure allows the mirror to be at a conventional distance from the driver's window. It also allows the driver to pivot the mirror to an outer position thus enabling him or her to see behind a load or tow.
Another structure for horizontal outward adjustment of a vehicle mirror is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,111,532 which is a temporary or substitute mirror mounted on the existing side view mirror. The structural principles in this example are significantly different from the instant device.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,558,930 to Deedreek an outwardly extendable mirror is provided by a motor driven rack and pinion. the mirror itself is also pivotable with an electric motor driven set of gears. The structure is unrelated to this invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,247,173 to Vitalone shows another structurally unrelated system for extending and retracting and outside rear view mirror. And finally, British Patent Specification No. 499,802 shows a very complicated structure for laterally extending and retracting a mirror. Again, it is not pertinent to the teaching herein.
The invention comprises a structure which utilizes the existing mirror mounting frame bracket. The mirror is detached from the bracket and an adapter block attached to the frame bracket. The block is in two parts and includes a slide bar which can be locked and unlocked to slide through the adapter block. The mirror after being removed from the mounting frame bracket is reattached to slide bar. The mirror can be located as desired between a first retracted position and an adjustable extended position. A lock screw enables quick and dependable repositioning of the mirror.
Accordingly it is among the many features of the invention to provide a horizontally adjustable and repositionable exterior side view mirror support structure which is uniquely simple, inexpensive, rugged and durable. The mirror support device allows the vehicle owner to utilize the existing mounting frame bracket such that the mirror itself is disconnected and replaced on the support structure of this invention. In place of the mirror on the bracket is installed an adapter block and slide bar. The mirror is mounted on the slide or adjustment bar and the bar slidably received in a slot in the adapter block. No special tools are required to install the invention and it is not necessary to drill any holes. The invention is designed to be tamper proof and retains the advantage of retaining the original collapsible or fold back two point mounting bracket.
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a conventional or prior art style of mirror and its mounting frame;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the invention installed on the conventional mounting frame bracket;
FIG. 3 is a cross section view taken along the ine 3--3 of FIG. 2 showing details of the mounting block; and
FIG. 4 is an exploded view in perspective showing additional details of the adapter block.
Referring now to the drawings it will be seen that a conventional pivotal, two point support frame bracket generally designated by the number 20 supports mirror 22 by a mounting arm 24 which is detachably connected to bracket 20. Bracket 20 is attached to a vehicle on the outside door panel of the vehicle. Bracket 20 in turn is securely attached to the vehicle door panel by a pair of L-shaped support leafs 26 and 28. The leafs are held firmly in place by screws and each has a generally horizontally projecting portion 30 or 32 to which the bracket is mounted on upper and lower pivot axes 34 and 36 respectively. The pivots as may be appreciated are tight so that the frame bracket 20 will move about the axes only by the application of substantial force or by a sharp blow. Such force or blow will move the bracket so as to reposition it or, in the case of being hit, it will collapse or fold around the pivot axes. The frame bracket 20 has a generally horizontal upper portion 38 at the outer end of which is the upright arm 24 which holds mirror 22. The outer end of upper portion 38 curves downwardly as at 40 and extends downwardly and inwardly at an angle as lower frame portion 42 and thence attaches to the leaf projecting portion 32.
After the mirror 22 and arm 24 are removed from the bracket 20 the block and adjustment or slide bar are installed. The adapter block, generally designated by the number 50, is a rectangular member having an inner end 52 and an outer end 54. In addition the adapter block 50 has bottom surface 56, top surface 58, front side surface 60 and rear side surface 62.
Block 20 is comprised of two halves, namely back block half 70 and forward block half 72. Block halves 70 and 72 are provided with a lower first slot shown as rectangular in shape to accommodate upper portion 38 of the bracket frame. Located above and in spaced relation to the lower slot 74 is a second or upper slot 76 to receive the adjustment or slide bar to be described in detail hereinafter. The two halves are held together by allen screw type threaded members 78 received in threaded holes 80 and which extend from block half 72 into into block half 70. When the adapter block is being installed it will be apparent that the block halves will be brought together on each side of portion 38 of the frame bracket and the threaded members 78 then tightened firmly into place to securely clamp the block onto the bracket.
The adjustment or slide bar, generally designated by the number 90, is an elongated member of rectangular cross section as shown in the several views of the drawings. Bar 90 has an outer end 92 at which end the upright mirror support arm 24 is secured and which holds the mirror 22. The inner end 94 of the slide bar includes stop detents 96, one each on either side of the bar as shown in FIG. 2. When the bar 90 is mounted in the upper slot 76 by bringing the two halves together and securing them with threaded bolts or screws 78, sufficient size is designed into the slot so that the bar 90 slides readily through the block slot. The stop detents 96 prevent the inner end of the bar from sliding on through. In like manner the outer end of bar 92 is prevented from sliding on through the slot by the mirror supporting arm 24 and its related structure like the bolt on the underside of the bar. As can be seen the upper side 58 of the block is partially open so that the edges 98 and 100 are spaced from each other to expose part of the slide bar 90.
A lock nut 102 is received in the inner half block in threaded opening 104 to hold the bar in position once it is located to the driver's satisfaction. Also a shim structure 106 having a center ridge 108 which is received in the groove 110 which extends laterally across both block halves. The shim may be necessary since the thickness of the frame portion 38 of the bracket may be smaller in some models. Thus the shim becomes necessary in order that the block can be secured in position.

When you are in Wildwood, Cape May, or Cape May Courthouse this is a great day adventure to go see the light house and the concrete boat.
Its a great place to see the area and get a nice work out at the same it......I go there once a year and hike in the trails there as well...
Play mini-golf ? head to sunset beach
Like history ? Light house and Air Force sights are great
great bike ride destination
love it any time of the year
It was quite a trek to the top but the beautiful views from the top were well worth the trip. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, well worth visiting while in Cape May.
You really can't beat the view from the top of the Lighthouse. It's a great reward for climbing the 199 steps. Thanks for stopping by.
This was the third lighthouse built on the point! Interesting because it was built as part of a Harbor Defense Project during WWII. There is an old bunker on the beach which was used during the Korean Was as a radio transmitting station so it is a very interesting area. The lighthouse is still in use today but we didn't...
The bunker on the beach was part of Fort Miles, the defense installation constructed to safeguard the Delaware River and Bay during World War II. The Lighthouse dates from 1859 and is indeed the third tower build to aid mariners. The views from the top are overwhelming. Thanks for visiting.
Have been going there for over 60 years and its wonderful anytime but special at sunset. A great bike ride from anywhere in Cape May on an early evening.
Cape May Point State Park and the Lighthouse should be on everyone's list of must dos when in the area. There's so much to see and do and it's a beautiful area any time of the day. Thanks for stopping by.
Sitting right on the shore of Cape May and away from the busy town, the lighthouse provides great views of the ocean, the nature center, and nearby buildings. And being the tallest building in the area, you can see straight out with out any building getting in you way. You don't have to fight downtown traffic or deal with hard...
The Lighthouse provides unparalleled views of the area. It is 199 steps to the top but there are landings every 30 steps to stop and catch your breath and enjoy the views in all direction. The Lighthouse reopened for the season Presidents' Weekend. It's a bracing climb right now but the views are still breathtaking. Thanks for visiting.
View great, friendly staff, 199 steps, 360* on a cold clear day the best, much parking, museum great for families with young kids
There wasn't much to do in Cape May on Christmas Day but the weather was great, so we enjoyed birding at the lighthouse. Saw a lot of swallows, ducks, swans and a beautiful bald eagle.
Cape May Point State Park is a great place to spend the day any time of year. Please come back and climb the Lighthouse some day.
We drove from Philly to Cape May last Saturday afternoon as the weather was pleasant and were very happy to see this famous lighthouse in person. The parking is easy and there are restrooms readily available as well as good history on the lighthouse which was build in 1859 (the third lighthouse I believe on this site). They closed the...
We are planning to give our Lighthouse a fresh coat of paint but as you can imagine, it's an expensive proposition. We're trying to assemble the funds to do so. Thanks for visiting.

Los Angeles Superior Court media adviser Hayslett explores the ramifications of the much publicized 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial in this unique account focused on Judge Lance Ito's role and the media circus inside and outside the courtroom. Ito had once been a rising star in the L.A. legal community and suffered more than other judges presiding over equally high profile trials, argues Hayslett. Though he continues to sit on the bench, Ito has never pursued appointment to a higher court. With excerpts and anecdotes from her personal journal, Hayslett details the difficulties of dealing with the media and the near-impossible task of sequestering a jury for nine months. Interestingly, only two of the original jurors remained at the end of the proceedings. Some may find it ironic that, by publishing yet another account of the highly publicized trial, Hayslett is doing exactly what she condemned in jury members and other trial participants. But insight that comes from her insider status is valuable and may leave readers wishing for her backstage access from the latest chapter in Simpson's ongoing legal battles.

Australian authorities have launched a probe on the 'abandoned' security manual used during U.S. President Barack Obama's short stay in the country, giving out minute details of the trip including sensitive security measures designed by the U.S. Security Service.
In a statement, Attorney-General Robert McClelland has indicated that his office's attention was called on the incident, considered by experts as a serious security breach involving a high-profile world leader, and an inquiry on the matter is now underway.
"The incident is currently being investigated ... yet in line with long standing practice, the Australian Government does not comment on security matters," McClelland reportedly said according to the Agence France Presse (AFP).
In a report by Fairfax journalist Dylan Welch, who stumbled upon the security manual in a gutter near the Australian Parliament in Canberra, the booklet gloriously discussed Obama's Australian trip last week, which lasted only 27 hours but required elaborate security implements both observed by American and Aussie security specialists.
Welch said on Thursday last week that the manual was glaringly stamped with the words 'In Confidential' with an explicit note on its cover that its sensitive contents should "not to be communicated either directly or indirectly to any person not authorised to receive it."
Notable information the booklet carried were contact details of personalities presumably involved in the preparation and implementation of Obama's Australian stop though Welch did not specify if the figures listed were high-level Australian and American officials or security functionaries that supervised the U.S. leader's brief stay in the country.
Welch, however, revealed that the booklet included the name of a person widely-regarded as the one responsible for ensuring Obama's safety during his numerous trips in an out of the United States, presumably the chief of the Security Service.
In what appeared as an unprecedented failure of security measures for the American President, the secret dossier, according to Welch, gave out security arrangements such as Obama's intelligence briefings and possible counter-measures in the event of an attack on his convoy while he gets around Canberra and other destinations in Australia.
The U.S President met with top-level Australian leaders during his visit last week, which was highlighted by his speech before the joint session of the Australian Parliament shortly after his arrival on Wednesday.
In a dramatic punctuation of America's improved security pact with Australia, Obama also visited troops stationed in Darwin, where some 2500 U.S. Marines will soon be based as part of the two countries new security arrangement for the Asia Pacific region.
