Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:51:05 -0700

Jets | Trading up possible for Jets

Jets | New York GM likes Hackenberg
Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:50:25 -0700
Penn State QB Christian Hackenberg has drawn the admiration of New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan. The Jets aren't likely to take Hackenberg with their first-round pick, but he could be an option for them in the second round.
Fantasy Tip: Opinions vary on Hackenberg, but it will probably take him at least a year to acclimate to the professional level. And even then, he may not be an NFL starter. His fantasy relevance is likely still a couple years away.

Jets | Ryan Fitzpatrick may not play
Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:30:02 -0700
Free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) has told people he would rather not play football this season than play for the New York Jets under their latest contract offer.
Fantasy Tip: Fitzpatrick and the Jets are clearly at odds, and Fitz could very well end up on another team if New York isn't willing to increase their offer. The grizzly, veteran quarterback played like a borderline QB1 last season. He could be in the same territory in 2016 depending on where he's quarterbacking.

Jets | Kamalei Correa has Jets interest
Wed, 27 Apr 2016 10:54:48 -0700
Boise State LB Kamalei Correa is a player drawing the interest of the New York Jets as an edge rusher, but New York may have to wait until the second round of the NFL Draft.

Jets | Gang Green cool on Paxton Lynch
Wed, 27 Apr 2016 10:48:34 -0700
Memphis QB Paxton Lynch's interest from the New York Jets has cooled, according to sources. Lynch reportedly scored an 18 on the Worderlic test, and there are concerns about his maturity and ability to handle the cerebral nature of the position. The Jets are likely to pass on him at No. 20.
Fantasy Tip: Lynch is a project quarterback that is likely a couple of years away from starting. He's not an option in single-year formats for now.

Wed, 27 Apr 2016 09:46:27 -0700
The New York Jets could be targeting a wide receiver with their first-round pick, according to sources. Texas Christian WR Josh Doctson and Notre Dame WR Will Fuller are names to watch.
Fantasy Tip: Both Doctson and Fuller are exceptional wide receiver talents that could make an impact in the NFL right away. However, with the Jets, they'd be behind Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker on the depth chart, so it could prove tough for them to make a consistent fantasy impact. Consider both in the WR4 or 5 range depending on who drafts them.

Jets | Muhammad Wilkerson trade unlikely
Wed, 27 Apr 2016 09:39:11 -0700
New York Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson is unlikely to be traded after the team fielded calls and experienced little action.

Jets | Sam Bradford not of interest to Jets
Tue, 26 Apr 2016 17:39:17 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles QB Sam Bradford will not be pursued by the New York Jets, according to NFL Network's Jeff Darlington.
Fantasy Tip: Ryan Fitzpatrick's status remains in limbo, but New York apparently wants to avoid a potential Bradford trade altogether. Fitzpatrick is a better option anyway from a fantasy perspective, and he's a borderline QB1 if he stays in the Big Apple.

Jets | Crunch time for Muhammad Wilkerson trade
Tue, 26 Apr 2016 13:40:39 -0700
New York Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson and the Jets could find a trade to be more difficult once the NFL Draft begins. A potential suitor must be willing to sign Wilkerson to a long-term extension that would cost around $50 million. They must also be assured that there are no issues with Wilkerson's surgically repaired fibula. There have not been any urgent negotiations recently, at least none that have been reported, although Wilkerson said he would love to play for the San Francisco 49ers. Stay tuned as the NFL Draft nears.

Sun, 24 Apr 2016 12:09:52 -0700
New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis (wrist) had pins removed from his surgically repaired wrist last week. He still has two months of rehabilitation, however, after having a torn ligament repaired March 17. Revis will miss offseason practices, but he's still on schedule for the start of the regular season.

Jets | NYJ had interest in top pick
Fri, 22 Apr 2016 16:52:38 -0700
New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said the team inquired about the availability of the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft before the Tennessee Titans traded the pick to the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Tip: The Jets will not have a chance to select one of the top two quarterbacks in the draft but could consider trading up for a chance to select Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch. Lynch could receive a chance to compete for the starting job if he is selected by the Jets and they do not add another quarterback. He likely would only be a No. 2 quarterback in deeper leagues if he won a starting job but would have value in keeper leagues.

MPPShort for massively parallel processing, a type of computing that uses many separate CPUs running in parallel to execute a single program. MPP is similar to symmetric processing (SMP), with the main difference being that in SMP systems all the CPUs share the same memory, whereas in MPP systems, each CPU has its own memory. MPP systems are therefore more difficult to program because the application must be divided in such a way that all the executing segments can communicate with each other. On the other hand, MPP don't suffer from the bottleneck problems inherent in SMP systems when all the CPUs attempt to access the same memory at once.

Lenovo is reportedly working on a phone with 1080p display, according to a report in Engadget.The report cites pictures (see above) spotted on Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo and goes on to speculate that the phone's display may be somewhere between 4.5 and 5.5 inches. The pictures seem to indicate the phone will also feature dual-SIM connectivity.
Spotted on Sina Weibo earlier this week (but have since been deleted) are the above three screenshots showing off Lenovo's customised Android UI in 1080p glory. As with many phones in China these days, the device in question supports dual-SIM connectivity -- the screenshots indicate that it's connected to China Telecom's CDMA2000 network and China Mobile's 2G network simultaneously.Our own source wouldn't directly confirm that it's a five-inch display on this mysterious phone, but we were told that it'll be somewhere between 4.5 inches and 5.5 inches - we'll take that as a yes, especially since the only 1080p mobile panels available right now are the five-inch, 440ppi ones from Sharp and JDI.

Full-size sedans appeal to people requiring, or preferring, plenty of space for people and their gear. It's simple, really. The Ford Taurus SHO extends its appeal to drivers seeking a fast four-door with cat-like reflexes, regardless of road or weather.
The SHO, which stands for Super High Output, has traveled a long way since its beginnings back in 1988 as a 220-horsepower sport sedan. Then, as now, the "show" (as it's pronounced) has never been a huge seller simply because it basically looks like any other Taurus. And with a price tag in the $50,000 range, it's $8,000 more than the best-equipped, regular-strength Taurus sedan that money can buy. Fifty large is also within range of the Boss 302 Mustang with its 444-horsepower 5.0-litre V8. That sort of muscle eclipses the SHO's twin-turbocharged 3.5litre "EcoBoost" V6 with its 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.
Still, the 1,980-kilogram 2013 SHO delivers respectable potency with an estimated zero-to-60-mph (96 km-h) time of 5.2 seconds.
It also offers a level of genteel cruiser-class comfort for five adults that's inconceivable in the Mustang.
The SHO's V6 is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Fuel economy isn't normally a top-of-mind issue for buyers of high-output sedans, but at least the SHO won't embarrass itself with a rating of 12.2 l/100 km in the city and 7.8 highway.
A major component of the SHO's performance content is its standard all-wheel-drive that kicks in when the car is driven in an aggressive manner, when it's cornering and when the weather turns nasty and surface grip is compromised.
For the 2013 model year, all Taurus models display a restyled grille and lower air intake, with the SHO receiving the blacked-out mesh-style grille as well as a set of bright high-intensity-discharge headlamps. Other visual markers include a decklid spoiler plus unique 19-inch wheels. Hidden from view are stiffer front springs and a beefed-up brake package highlighted by a larger master cylinder and front rotors. The electric power steering unit can been specifically calibrated to deliver plenty of feel and feedback for the driver.
Interestingly, much of the SHO-specific gear has been installed in the Taurus Police Package that replaces Ford's ancient (and now retired) Crown Victoria.
There's even more in store for buyers who opt for the Performance Package. Here, you get a sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, an "extreme duty" cooling system, a higher numerical final drive ratio for snappier acceleration and 20inch machined wheels with summer-specific performance tires. Ford states the Performance Package is the one to get for buyers looking to stretch their SHO's legs once in a while on the racetrack. A Taurus on a racetrack? Move over Boss 302, the whole family is coming. The standard interior includes leather seat covers with SHO logos, a perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel and power-adjustable aluminum pedals.
That's in addition to dual-zone climate control, push-button start, 10-way power driver's seat and a backup warning system.
The SHO also receives a revised version of MyFord Touch connectivity that uses voice and touch-screen commands to control audio, climate and communications functions.
The extensive list of options includes the expected sunroof and navigation system plus heated rear seats and heated and cooled front buckets. Also available is Active Park Assist that parallel-parks the car for you as well as an "Active Motion" massager built into the power lumbar support and seat cushion.
Ford has exercised remarkable restraint by not festooning the SHO with superfluous scoops and decals that trumpet its power quotient. In most cases, only the person behind the wheel will drive secure in the knowledge that his or her Taurus is indeed rare and special. The car might not really shout it out, but the point all along has been to at least "SHO" it with your right foot.

A Scarborough senior was the victim of an apparent distraction theft, in which a woman strolled up to her and managed to take rings off her finger and other jewelry from her wrist and neck.
Grace Thornton, 86, says she was outside when she was approached by a smiling woman, who appeared to want to wish her a Merry Christmas.
Thornton said the woman rubbed her arm and put a cheap necklace around her neck.
"With all this holding the hands and chattering all the time, I was very distracted and I wasn't thinking somebody was going to rob you," Thornton said.
"I thought she was just a nice lady."
But she soon would learn the woman had taken off with a bracelet, her wedding ring, a dress ring and a gold necklace that her late husband gave to her, just before he died.
Police say it was a so-called distraction theft.
It's a problem that police have also been dealing with in Peel Region.
Const. Thomas Ruttan told CBC News that since the start of January, police have received nine calls about similar events.
It's not clear if the thefts are linked, but they say a woman is always involved — in some cases, so is a man driving an older-model van.

Earlier, Malaysia Airlines operated flights to Kolkata for one year in 2005-06. The airline, however, stopped its services because of its route restructuring program. Malaysia Airlines now sees India as a growing market and wants to begin flights to Kolkata again.
Xiamen Airlines is China's first private-owned airline. The airline is a subsidiary of China Southern Airlines and operates out of its hub located in Xiamen city in Fujian province of south-east China. If the Indian civil aviation ministry approves, then Xiamen Airlines flights between Beijing and Kolkata will become a possibility.

"The UN would better serve the interests of Israel and the Palestinians by enquiring on the conflict`s root causes. It may ask: Did Hamas violate Israel`s sovereignty through rocket attacks? Did Hamas endanger Israeli civilians? Did Israel repeatedly warn Hamas to cease doing so? How else should a sovereign nation respond to such repeated provocations?"MV Cannot get much more rightwing than the above attempt to keep israel,s war crimes hidden from view. he blames it all on Hamas---how very "Cromwellian" of you. Well done Morris---you have finally arrived ---cjk will love you. Next step---the so called "Olive Branch" where you will be welcomed with open arms.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 416 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by noguessing Guest room doors slam shut I won't stay here again for business - too much family activity going on. The doors on my floor were slamming all hours of the night. No morning papers available in the lobby, and I skipped breakfast because there was a line to sit down. Nothing geared toward the business traveler. April 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MajorMom Comfortable The stay was comfortable. Do not expect staff to be readily availble for quick service. Be prepared to relax and not rush. For business meetings and trying to get back to work, the dining area will not work. The food was good though! April 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by David1963 Great stay for overnight business trip! I stayed for just one night on a business trip. The staff could not have been more helpful and I can not imagine a more comfortable room. Thanks. April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike465 Great sevice Rooms very clean and "Marylyn" (young host in platinum club) really went out of her way to be nice to everyone. March 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jillsa Comfortable This is a clean comfortable hotel. The lobby has been remodeled, but the rooms need it now and we were told that's coming. Should be much nicer then. Not much to speak of for a restaurant, but fortunately Benihana is next door. We did have a beverage in the lobby bar which was fine, good people watching spot. March 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chris5555555 Great People I have been staying here for about a year, and I must say that the service and people at this location are great. When you send as much time away from home as I do, its important to see smiling faces, and friendly people who are happy to help. I won't say it's the best property in the area, but the people more than make up for it. March 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Satexan Find somewhere else!!!! I have stayed here numerous times for business. Each time I come I ask myself why I didn't stay somewhere else. My company has an office in the adjoining building so this hotel is very convenient.....that is the only thing that has brought me back. The service is horrible. The staff have lied to me numerous times. They have out me on the club level and then my key card won't work for the lounge. I've asked them to fix it and they assure me that my card will work but then it doesn't. I usually order room service each time I stay here because I'm working late next door. I have never received my order in a timely manner and/or correct. This past time I ordered chicken salad it cam with no chicken. The rooms themselves need to be updated. My sheets were torn last time I stayed here and the bathroom light fixtures were rusting. There are a number of other hotels right near by. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by David3059 Hotel is convenient to business & airports I was a bit skeptical of staying here as I had read some negative reviews about this Westin that I wanted to check it out for myself. I got a great rate by being a AAA member and the office I was visiting was less than 10 minutes away and the airports were also close. I visited the gym my first morning around 6.15 but all machines were taken and there were several people waiting for one to open up. Try going around 7.15am and you should fare better. The carpets in the elevators were dated and do need to be upgraded, no doubt, but the staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were what you would expect from Westin. If I am in the Dallas area again, I will definitely be back here. Thank You March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dominique55 This is a great hotel for the price paid in North Dallas I stay at this Hotel 6-8 times a year since 2000 for business purpose and I have to admit that it is a good deal. I am a platinum member and 90 % of the time I get an upgrade. Not that I care when I travel alone but upgrades have never been a problem at this property. Most of the time Younis check me in and he is the best employee that this hotel has. David and Greg at the front door are also very valuable employees. Actually what makes this hotel special is not the quality of the rooms but the quality of the people working at the hotel. The rooms are really due for an upgrade but I don't mind as long as the people working are great. March 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by CheerDad Cold water & no towels The first two mornings of my 3 night stay I was treated to cold showers day 1 with a broken boiler and day 2 to a boiler that couldn't keep up. Night 3 we requested towels but no one brought them to the room. Also we were told there was self parking when making the decision to stay here what they failed to say was that it had a cost to it. The hotel has single pane glass so on the last day we woke up to a half inch of ice on the inside of the window melting onto the floor. Overall it was a nightmare of a stay and we wouldn't choose this hotel again. The only highlight was the young lady working at the front desk Sunday morning who was actually compassionate to our challenges she is the bright spot at this hotel. March 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gina36 Staff needs management supervision or terminations As a business owner, I understand the difficulties of having each staff member treat customers as I would like treated. However, I was met with an employee so unwilling to help me that she actually embarrassed me in front of other guests checking in. There was one front desk employee checking in a guest, and a second employee at a computer with the preferred guest -platinum and gold sign. I was a little unsure if I should wait for her to call me up, but I decided to walk up to her station being a Platinum member. She did not acknowledge me at first, then finally rolled her eyes up at me and said, "The line is over there." I replied politely, due to a little embarrassment, "Even for platinum members?" She replied, "The line is over there." I turned and had to get behind a few more guests who had just arrived at check in. This decision was made because I had my 11 year old daughter with me. Otherwise I would have immediately asked for a manager. I had never been treated so horribly. A few minute later, this lady called the next person in line. I was shocked at all of it. When I reached the desk of the other employee, she also did not greet me, but simply said, "Have your ID out." I had been upgraded due to my status, but my room was not ready at 4pm. We were in a hurry, but my parents, also SPG members, had a room ready, so we were able to bring luggage to that room until they could call me about my room being ready. We were able to get dressed for our event and leave. I never received a call. We returned that night around 11pm and I was given my keys to my room. I asked about any complimentary breakfast, and I was told to go to the 18th floor in the morning. (Unfortunately, the club was closed on Saturday and Sunday so this was bad information,) The upgrade was a fabulous suite, however, the alarm in the stairwell next to the room was going off all night, my safe was locked, my smoke detector battery was chirping, and the refrigerator was dirty. My parents A/C did not work, but it was repaired on Saturday. The following morning I returned to the desk to ask about the breakfast and a male staff member was fantastic, greeted me kindly, and proceeded to give me complimentary breakfast at the café which he said I should have received when I arrived. I also spoke to another gentleman about the policy regarding the preferred guest line, thinking maybe I was incorrect. He said no, that I was treated incorrectly and that was the line for preferred guests. However, the rudeness from the lady was the main issue, but I thought maybe I had acted incorrectly by walking up to her line. Lastly, I had asked to forego housekeeping, since we were in Dallas for a convention and would be in our room only minimally, but the room was cleaned anyway, and I have not checked to see if we were given any points back. Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and I am not a high maintenance customer. We love SPG and Starwood Hotels, and feel it is the best reward program out there for us. I went into much detail since I was sending a review, however, my main complaint is the service when I arrived on Friday. The Saturday morning staff was much more friendly and helpful. The other complaints were never brought up to the hotel, due to our schedule being very strenuous. But I feel sure that the issues would have been handled appropriately by the Saturday crew. Thank you, Gina Plaunty March 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mdil8 Not your typical Westin Needs updating, AC did not cool room, beds were obviously old and needs replaced--very uncomfortable. Huge gap under the door, small TVs, low pressure water in shower. Very loud, creaky bathroom door. Staff was excellent. restuarant is average. Parking was ok. For the price go somewhere else. March 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ro2014 Very pleasant customer service The hotel was really nice, but what made the hotel was a new agent name Candice. She was very sweet and welcoming. It is true that first impression can leave a lasting one and because of her great service I will come back. February 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by kevin78613 bleak tired and slightly dysfunctional The hotel is a little thread bare but it is clean. The hallways are dim and it appears to be an older hotel that was renovated about 10 years ago. The staff was very nice but one of the restaurants was closed and there was nothing nearby to walk to. The only people that would have any interest in staying there would be business travelers and the business center was not functioning. Internet was slow, a light didn't work in the room and there were no plugs for a modern business traveler. I have stayed at worse hotels but that is not normally something I say about a Westin property. February 19, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by oldwatch 5 star during tough time... Ice storm conditions, power outages all over the metroplex, a frozen city. I arrived at the Park Central early (9am) for my evening check in. It was that or not be able to get to Dallas at all. I was prepared to beg for a room or a place to store my luggage. Instead I was met with: Sure we can get you in a room right now. That evening I ate at the in house restaurant and had a good meal. The next morning at breakfast I had the same waitress as had served me the night before. She was exhausted, but she had stayed all night because so many of the staff were unable travel in for their shifts. It's the trying times that tell us what kind of business we are, so a tip of my hat to the Park Central Staff during a very tough event. They did a great job during a hard few days. February 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ML30 Outdated Hotel This hotel was not what I would expect from a Westin. The rooms were extremely outdated (looks like Westin took over an old, low budget hotel and left the room as is). The lobby is renovated and familiar of Westin style. Also the staff is wonderful. February 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ourDallasVisit Time in dallas We love the Westin bed so always try to stay there. As typical the rooms were great and the staff was able to meet our needs of connecting rooms. The only negative was restaurant. The food was ok but it didn't sit well with our stomachs (wife and i; kids were ok). February 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by EL3233 Room fragrance The room had a strong smell of Fabreeze or something similar. It was very strong, to the point of a headache. Prefer hotel rooms to be fragrance free like a home. Just clean and fresh. January 30, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by NewYear2014 Brown turbid water My wife and I stayed at this hotel on 12-31-13. We got in late after New Year's Eve festivities and were looking forward to a warm shower and getting cleaned up. To our horror, when we turned on the sink faucet, a turbid, brown debris-filled, watery sludge emerged. We tried the bath tub to find a similar brown fluid. Any water to be consumed or bathed in was not suitable for use. We collapsed in bed and decided to leave early in the morning and return home to safe, sanitary, clean water. We did not even trust the safety of the water that might be used in the restaurant! Eating there was definitely NOT an option! This was NOT how we wanted to end our stay. We are EXTREMELY disappointed in how this was handled by the staff. Our complaint to the front desk was met with an insincere, indifferent apology, a generic explanation that there had been a leak on the second floor, and that nothing could be done. We were brushed off. Our room was prepaid. You had our money. We were therefore of no consequence to the front desk clerk or anyone else. As we were making our complaint, we witnessed another guest, who spent substantially more than we did on several rooms, complain to another clerk of the same brown water issue. He was also met with the same indifference. I just don't understand how a leak could cause this kind of brown water problem. On reading other reviews now, I see that this brown water is a recurring problem. We understand that leaks and other failures do occasionally occur, but as a guest in your facility, we would have expected to be informed of major failures that would affect our stay. We would have expected a more proactive response that would have minimized our inconvenience and warned us of this potentially unsafe, unclean, unusable water. We were never informed. Why? Why were we permitted to be exposed to a potentially hazardous condition? This is just poor management, especially for a hospitality business! Our dissatisfaction is such that we are highly unlikely to choose to stay at this or any other Westin facility in the future, nor recommend this facility to others. When we chose Westin for our New Year's Eve stay, we expected a much, much higher quality of service and response to this issue than what we received, which was worse than what anyone would get at any budget motel. We expected Westin to act in accordance with its highly regarded reputation. Westin did not and it will take much for Westin, particularly Westin Park Central, to regain our patronage. January 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mwedding27 Ok Disappointed by the rude staff at check in who were too busy chatting rather than to check me in. They had no information on the shuttle to the Galleria or car services. Instead they instructed me to go outside and talk to the valet, who were very helpful. The bathroom was dirty with hair all over bathroom floor/tub. The second room had a dirty toilet seat which clearly had not been cleaned. The wedding venue was nice as was the hospitality room. Location is less than ideal December 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tom1960 No attendtion to detail tried to get someone to fix my toliet but never did and had to manual flush. The only thing that was done for me on checkout was some lousy points and we will have to fix it. not what I expected.. December 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Turkeylover Old facilities & unfriendly information There are several things I think to be improved. First, the hotel facilities need to be improved. One of the elevators buttons were broken. When I pushed the door close button to go down but the elevator actually went up. The other thing, the small mirror in the bathroom almost fell off from the wall. Additionally, I think there should be information of telephone charge in a room. I used a room telephone to reschedule my flight which was cancelled by bad weather. I had to call so many times to reach the call center. It was a toll free number but I got charged by the hotel as many times as I called. I didn't know that until I received the bill. Either in the room or at the time of check in, the telephone charge should be informed to guests. Lastly, some reception staffs speak too fast to catch for non- native English speakers. Their explanation was not clear to understand. December 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by vgm04 Dallas 2013 The service I received from the reservations office in Austin was great, and they took care of all of my needs for me. However, when I arrived in Dallas, after stressful travel, the staff members told me that I was supposed to arrive the previous day, and since I had not they gave away my room and my card had been charged. When I explained I had changed my reservation with the Austin office, and asked to call them, they refused and were very rude! They made no attempt to check on the situation, and I had to call Austin and the corporate office in California myself to get the situation resolved(and my room, which they originally told me they had none). I felt lied to and very disrespected by the Dallas staff and management. They did not even apologize for being wrong and try to make it right! Thankfully the corporate staff members are competent unlike the Dallas Westin staff. December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmilyTSPGPlat Wonderful Staff The front-desk staff at this hotel is great! I especially want to acknowledge Younis and Natt for their outstanding service during my weekend stay. When I checked-in on Friday, I inquired about getting an upgrade. Since I was booked on points I wasn't sure how much the hotel would accommodate me and not only that, the hotel was completely sold out due to a large event that was happening and the ice storm. Younis looked up all the availability and at first said he could move me to a junior suite the next morning, which I was perfectly happy about. Moments later, he looked up something else, and said he actually had something for me for the whole weekend. As it turns out, he had upgraded me from my corner room to their best suite! The room was huge, had a lockout style bedroom, an office, and a large living area with a granite dining table, powder room, and multiple sofas. I was also given a few complimentary breakfast certificates for my stay. Throughout that weekend, Younis and Natt provided nothing but exceptional service. Overall, I was very impressed by the level of care and service this hotel provides its platinum guests! December 10, 2013

Can someone who knows what they're talking about give me an unbiased opinion on whether this is going to come back? Thanks.
If they could tell you wouldn't that be biased. Anyways, it appear to me that this way undervalued now after dropping 20% last Thursday, This was $130+ recently, i picked up some at 72.18 just for the oversold conditions. i will sell at $83 in a week or so.
I hope it gets to $83. It appears to be stabilizing.

This invention relates to a running tool for use in a pipe, pipeline, wellbore or other tubular member (referred to hereinafter as a "tubular member of the type specified"), and which typically IS employed in the extraction of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, water, and also in geothermal applications.
In oil and gas wells, and in other boreholes, it becomes necessary from time to time to install, or change various devices in the well, and to perform investigative and other surveys. Most of these operations rely on the use of a "wireline", which may be one of two types, namely "slickline" or "electricline". These terms are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and need not be described in detail herein.
A variety of tools and devices may be attached to a wireline, and lowered to the bottom of the wellbore, aided by gravity. Electricline has a conductor and insulator so that "downhole" tool responses can be electrically controlled, and measured from the surface as they happen. Slickline employs a single strand of wire, which can only be manipulated up or down to influence the tool or instrument operation in the wellbore.
Many wells are deviated in order that they may be drilled from a central point, but still be able to drain a large area. Deviated wells can have an angle of deviation of 70� or more, but the greater the angle of deviation i.e. the greater the angle measured from the vertical and towards the horizontal, the greater will be the problem for wireline operations. Thus, the greater the deviation angle, the lesser will be the effect of gravity, and which can become overcome by the friction of the wire as it moves through the deviation angle, and the rolling resistance of the tools or other devices at the "downhole" end. The traditional remedy for this problem has been to increase the weight of the wireline, by adding heavy weight bars, and by reducing the rolling resistance of the tools and weight bars by adding wheels and centralisers.
Some wells have 90�, or near 90� deviation, with correspondingly horizontal or near horizontal sections, and often running for thousands of feet, and this being situated at the bottom of a vertical shaft. These long horizontal sections or "laterals" are formed so as to improve drainage, or to access distant pockets of hydrocarbons.
In use of electricline systems, devices exist to pull the wireline along highly deviated, or horizontal sections, and such devices are known in the art as "tractors". These tractors convert a high voltage electrical supply which is passed down the insulated core of an electric wireline through a motor in the tractor which drives a hydraulic pump which is used to power a number of hydraulic motors. The motors are linked to wheels which are arranged around the body of the tractor, and positively drive it along the deviated section of the wellbore.
Electric line tractors can have a variety of tools and devices attached, for the purposes as described above. Such tools etc are selectively positioned in the wellbore, by powering the tractor until the required locations are reached. For subsequent retrieval of a tool, this is achieved by simply pulling on the cable after powering down the tractor.
The inherent nature of an electric wireline is such that an amount of special equipment for pressure control is required. Because the wireline is braided, the mechanism required for the prevention of well pressure escape is bulky and maintenance is intensive. The wire required to carry the high voltages associated with electric line tractors is not a type which would normally be available on site already, and the presence of high voltages in the presence and proximity of hydrocarbons raises severe safety questions during the operation of the equipment. Therefore, specialist personnel are normally required to operate the tractor equipment, in addition to the normal electricline crew. Electricline operations therefore, in general, are expensive.
Slickline wireline units, on the other hand, are almost universally present at production sites, and have simpler and more manageable pressure control equipment. The crew size is smaller, and slickline operations are therefore relatively inexpensive.
The invention therefore seeks to provide a running tool which is mechanically simple and does not require the complexity of operation, and cost of electricline operation, but which can be used with electricline, slickline, or any other wire or tubular system which is capable of reciprocating movement
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a running tool which is intended to be lowered down a tubular member of the type specified, via a wireline extending from the surface to a connection to the upper end of the tool by which the tool is suspended, said tool being capable of advancing itself along the wall of the tubular member when required (e.g. when the tubular member is inclined to the vertical as a "lateral"), by repeated application and release of tension force in the wireline, in which the tool comprises:
an assembly of a leading body portion and a trailing body portion, said portions being connected to each other so as to be linearly movable relative to each other in order to advance the tool along the tubular member;
a linearly displaceable actuator within the assembly and connectable to the wireline, said actuator being movable from a datum position in one direction relative to the assembly upon application of tension to the wireline;
means for converting relative movement of the actuator in said one direction to linear displacement of the leading body portion in an opposite direction;
respective wall-engaging means on each of the body portions which can be triggered alternately into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member; and,
an energy source capable of being active between the body portions:
in which the tool has a cycle of self-advancing movement which comprises:
(a) application of tension via the wireline to the actuator so as to move the actuator in said one direction relative to the assembly;
(b) causing movement of one of said wall-engaging means into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member to fix the respective body portion;
(c) storage of energy within said energy source as a consequence of the relative movement of the actuator;
(d) release of tension in the wireline thereby causing movement of the other of the wall-engaging means into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member to fix the respective body portion and to cause release of said one wall engaging means;
(e) release of energy from said energy source so as to move the actuator relative to the assembly in an opposite direction to the datum position; aid,
(f) causing advancing movement of the leading body portion relative to the wall of the tubular member when its respective wall engaging means is released from gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member during the cycle of operation.
A reciprocating running tool according to one preferred embodiment of the invention therefore can move along a tubular member or wellbore, dragging a wire behind it, and carrying additional tools or instruments ahead of it. Motive force is provided by pulling on the wire from the surface, and the tool is run into the wellbore until such time that the frictional forces stop the tool from further descent. The tool has wall-engaging means in the form of dragblocks which allow movement in the downward direction only. Pulling on the wire at this time will anchor the lower part of the device to the wall of the tubular member (or wellbore), and will charge a spring and advances the main body (upper assembly) of the tool. On relaxing the wire, the upper assembly anchors itself to the wellbore, and the spring then discharges its spring force advancing the lower body downwardly, ready for the next cycle. As the wire is slackened off at this time, additional wire will be fed into the well, to compensate for the distance that the tool has moved. In this way, by repeatedly pulling and then slacking-off the wireline, the tool can be caused to advance along the wellbore by simple mechanical propulsion.
Tool retrieval may be affected by over-pulling on the wireline, in order to collapse the mechanism which locates the dragblocks (locking means). The mechanisms are normally located and biased by use of a spring of known force. When this force is overcome, the locating means is removed and the locking means may unlock. A similar mechanism is present in both the main body, and the upper portion of the tool. Once the locking means has become unlocked, it is retained in the unlocked position and the tool may be dragged out of the well.
However, it is within the scope of the invention to have an alternative sequence of operations, during a cycle of self-advancing movement, as provided by further preferred embodiments of the invention.
In these further preferred embodiments, the wall engaging means associated with the trailing body portion is movable into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member upon relative movement of the actuator in said one direction so that said movement converting means is effective to move the leading body portion in an advancing direction simultaneously with storage of energy in the energy source, and in which the wall-engaging means associated with the leading body portion is moved into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member and the wall-engaging means associated with the trailing body portion is released from gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member upon release of tension in the wireline, so that the energy stored in the energy source is effective to return the actuator to the datum position and to advance the trailing body portion towards the leading body portion.
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a self-advancing tool for use in an underground passage and controllable from the surface by means connecting the tool to the surface, said tool being capable of advancing itself along the passage by repeated reciprocation of said means.
Preferred embodiments of running tool according to the invention will now be described in detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view, partly broken-open to show internal details, of a first embodiment of running tool according to the invention, for use in a tubular member of the type specified;
FIG. 2 shows the tool in an inoperative position, assuming a slack wire to which it is attached, and with the tool extended;
FIG. 3 is a side view, similar to FIG. 2, but showing the connecting wire tight, a biasing spring compressed, and the upper assembly of the tool advanced in a first stage of mechanically propelled advance of the tool;
FIG. 4 is a side view showing the tool after it has advanced itself to an extended position of the lower assembly, at the completion of the operation, and ready for a further sequence of operation;
FIG. 5 is a side view of a second embodiment having an alternative mode of self-advancing movement along a tubular member;
FIG. 6 is a side view of a third embodiment, operating in generally the same way as the embodiment of FIG. 5, but utilising fluid pressure means to transfer relative linear movement between components of the tool; and,
FIG. 7 is a further view showing more detail of the tool of FIG. 6.
Referring first to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is shown a running tool assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, and which is designated generally by reference 20, and which it is assumed will be attached at the lower end of a wire via which it can be lowered down any type of tubular member of the type specified e.g. a wellbore. The wire can be an "electricline", a "slickline", or any other wireline of the type used in wellbore formation and in the extraction of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, water prospecting, or the geothermal industry.
The wire which lowers the tool 20, and which also can be used to initiate sequences of operation, to advance itself, along deviated sections is shown by reference 8. The tool 20 has an upper assembly, and a lower assembly, as shown, and which are capable of reciprocating movement, to advance the tool along deviated sections, in a manner described in more detail below. During operation, the upper assembly will comprise a trailing body portion 30, and the lower assembly will comprise a leading body portion 31.
The tool 20 has a central rod 1 forming an actuator for the tool and which is attached to the wire 8, and the upper end of the wire is connected to a winch at the surface. The rod 1 carries a toothed rack 21, and which is connected to an outer rack 2 by way of pinion gearwheels 3, and the intermeshing is such that upward movement of the rod 1 relative to the tool assembly 20 causes the outer racks 2 to move downwards against the action of a biasing (compression) spring 4. Therefore, a double rack and pinion arrangement is provided, to convert linear movement of the actuator rod in one direction into reverse movement of the trailing body portion 30. The gearwheels 3 are located on a tubular member 5 which must be retained, in order that the spring 4 can be compressed. This is achieved by provision of locking means, taking the form of lower dragblocks 6 which are biased outwards by spring 7. These dragblocks allow movement of the tool 20 downwards, but not upwards, and provide resistance to any pulling action exerted on the wire 8 from the surface. In this way, pulling on the wire with a force up to the known rated value of the spring 4, will charge the spring and "cock" the tool.
The lower dragblocks 6 are provided in the lower assembly, and generally similar upper dragblocks 9 are provided in the upper assembly. The upper dragblocks, when activated, prevent upward movement.
When the wire 8 is relaxed, by paying out cable from the surface, the spring 4 discharges its stored energy, by causing the upper dragblocks 9 to grip the wall of the tubular member, and then "stroke" out the lower assembly. The tool therefore advances itself along the tubular member by the same amount as the stroke. In this way, reciprocation of the wire, followed by feeding out extra wire, will cause the tool 20 to advance itself along the tubular member.
Recovery of the tool can be effected by pulling on the wire with a force which is greater than that which is required to fully compress the spring 4, but equal to that required to trip a detent assembly, having components 12, 13 and 14. This force would be set on the surface prior to placing the tool in the wellbore, by altering tension in spring 13 by operation of a screw cap 14. When the required force is applied, wedges 15 (one set in each of the upper and lower assemblies) act against the adjacent dragblocks 6 and 9 in the lower and upper assemblies respectively, and which collapse away from the dragblocks leaving them unsupported. The dragblocks will be forced out of gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member, and the entire tool 20 can then be dragged upwards and out of the wellbore in the normal manner.
The operating components of the tool have been described above with reference to FIG. 1, and FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 show the operation of the tool, during one cycle of self-advancing movement of the tool, initiated by operation of the wire.
The operating components of the tool assembly 20 shown in the drawings comprises a simple and entirely mechanically actuated device, set into operation by simple manipulation of the wire from which the device is suspended. However, in some circumstances, it may be desirable to employ power transmitting means other than purely mechanical linear reciprocating arrangement as shown. By way of example, the tool may incorporate a hydraulically operated arrangement. Further, the tool may incorporate a device having powered wheels which are hydraulically driven via a reciprocating hydraulic pump, and chain driven or similar wheels.
In addition to providing possibility of designing a hydraulically operated version of the tool, it should be noted again that the tool may be operated on the end of a slickline, electricline, or other means for lowering the tool down a tubular member, such as coiled tubing, or even a pipe.
The running tool disclosed herein is particularly suitable for use in the extraction of fluid hydrocarbons. However, it can also be employed in the water extraction industry, or other industries e.g. geothermal industry, in which boreholes are formed down to sources of energy.
In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the self-advancing movement of the tool assembly 20 is achieved by the means illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. In particular, upon application of tension to the wire 8, the actuator rod 1 moves upwardly relative to the tool assembly 20, and this causes the lower dragblock 6 associated with the (lower) leading body assembly 31 to engage the wall of the tubular member and thereby fix the leading body portion 31. The actuator rod 1 therefore can move to the left as shown in FIG. 3, relative to the tool assembly, and simultaneously compresses the spring 4 and thereby stores further energy in the spring. Upon release of tension in the wire 8, the lower dragblocks 6 become released from the wall of the tubular member, and the upper dragblock 9 moves outwardly into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member in order to fix the trailing (upper) assembly 30. This then allows the energy stored in the spring 4 to move the lower assembly 31 to the right, as shown in FIG. 4, and simultaneously to return the actuator rod 1 to the datum position.
However, it should be understood that the invention contemplates other modes of self advancement of a tool assembly, again utilising components which are linearly moveable relative to each other during a cycle of operation, and using dragblocks which are moved, alternately, into and out of gripping engagement with the wall of the tubular member. However, in the further embodiments of tool to be described below, the sequence of operation of the dragblocks is different, as will become apparent from the following detailed descriptions.
Referring now to FIG. 5 of the drawings, there is shown a self-advancing tool assembly 120, having upper component assembly 130 and lower component assembly 131, and having associated wall-engaging means in the form of dragblocks 109 and 106 respectively. An actuator rod 101 is mounted internally of the tool assembly 120, and can be attached at its upper end (the left hand end in FIG. 5) to a wire which, in this arrangement, may comprise a slickline 108. An actuator rod element 139 is mounted internally of lower assembly 131, and at its lower end (the right hand end in FIG. 5) can be attached to additional downhole tools if required, via threaded socket 140.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5, a different mechanical arrangement is provided in order to transfer linear actuation movement from rod 101 to the components of the tool assembly 120. A housing 136 is slidably mounted externally on the actuator rod 101, and includes a coupling block 138 which is movable with the housing 136, and which transfers linear movement to actuator rod element 139 of the assembly 131 during a cycle of self-advancing movement of the tool 120. A reaction block 137 is mounted within the housing 136, and is movable with the actuator rod 101. Block 137 also mounts rotatably a set of two wheels 132, over which are taken respective cables (or chains) 133. Free ends 134 of the cables 133 are attached to the right hand end of rod 101, and linear displacement of rod 101 to the left will cause the chains 133 to pull the housing 136 to the right via anchor connections 135 of the chains 133 to the left hand end of housing 136.
During linear movement of the actuator rod 101 to the left, the housing 136, coupling block 138, actuator rod element 139 and lower assembly 131 move to the right, and at the same time a compression spring 104 is compressed between the left hand end of housing 136 and the reaction block 137, thereby to store-up energy for use in a further part of the cycle of operation.
A complete cycle of operation therefore comprises the following steps:
(a) apply a pulling force to the actuator rod 101 to the left, as shown in FIG. 5, via wire 108, and which causes dragblocks 109 to move outwardly into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member under the action of cone blocks 115;
(b) further movement of actuator rod 101 to the left causes housing 136 and lower body assembly 131 to move to the right, while compression energy is stored in spring 104;
(c) release of tension in wire 108 then allows dragblocks 109 to be released from engagement with the wall of the tubular member, but the energy stored in spring 104 applies a force to the left to actuator rod element 139, causing lower blocks 115 to press lower dragblocks 106 outwardly into gripping contact with the wall of the tubular member, thereby to anchor the lower body assembly 131;
(d) with the lower assembly 131 fixed, the compression spring 104 then acts through housing 136 and chains 133 in order to pull the actuator rod 101 and the now released upper assembly 130 to the right, to complete one cycle of self-advancing movement of the tool assembly 120.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, there is shown a third embodiment of tool assembly 220, and which has a sequence of operations, in a cycle of self-advancing movement, which is generally similar to that described for the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5. Corresponding parts are therefore given the same reference numerals, and will not be described in detail again. However, in this third embodiment of the invention, fluid pressure means is employed in order to transfer linear movement relatively between the components of the tool, rather than purely mechanical means as in the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, and FIG. 5.
An actuator rod 201 is mounted within housing 202, and these two components are capable of relative linear movement, with the actuator rod 201 effectively functioning as a hydraulic piston moving within a cylinder. A compression spring 104 is also housed within the housing 202, and surrounds the actuator rod 201, and reacts between left hand end 203 of housing 202 and reaction block 137 mounted internally at the right hand end of the housing 202. A further actuator rod component 201 a is also slidably mounted within housing 202, and is moveable to the right under hydraulic pressure when the actuator rod 201 moves to the left following application of tension via wire 108 to the rod 201. Any suitable fluid pressure medium, preferably hydraulic fluid, is housed within a cylinder surrounding actuator rod 201, in annular space shown by reference 204, and transfer ports 205 allow fluid pressurised in annular space 204 by movement of actuator rod 201 to the left (acting like a piston within a cylinder) to escape and to apply pressure to a piston assembly at the left hand end of actuator rod 201 a, which is then displaced linearly to the right. At the same time, housing 232 also is displaced linearly to the right, while applying compression energy to compression spring 104.
The lower body assembly 131 therefore is also displaced linearly in an advancing direction, and with the dragblocks 106 in the released position, similar to that described above for the embodiment of FIG. 5. The linear displacement of actuator rod 201 to the left, upon application of tension to wire 101, applies necessary transfer of linear motion to the other components, via fluid pressure transfer means, and by reason of the fact that the upper assembly 130 is fixed in position by outward movement of dragblock 109 into gripping engagement with the wall of the tubular member.
Release of tension in wire 108 then results in lower assembly 131 being fixed in position by outward movement of dragblock 106, and upper body assembly 130 then can move to the right (with the dragblock 109 now released) under the action of the energy stored in compression spring 104 and re-transfer of hydraulic fluid to the annular space 204.
