TravelPod Member ReviewsBlack Hawk Motel Wisconsin Dells
Owners were so friendly. Great motel, excellent location. I felt extremely comfortable during my 3 day stay. I was alone and feeling safe was of great importance. Loved seeing the washed comforters hanging out on a line to dry...who does that anymore? Great extra touches!

Historical Traveler Reviews Black Hawk Motel Wisconsin Dells
Wow...this place is great!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had read good reviews here so decided to give this motel a try for our 5 nights in the Dells. We were very impressed!! Now, there's no water park like some of the fancy, expensive hotels; but for a very reasonable price we had an extremely clean room and very pleasant stay. First, this was probably the cleanest motel/hotel that we've ever stayed in (and we've been in a lot). We were in Room 58 which is an end room, and it was very quiet. We liked having the little table and chairs right outside the door so we could sit and talk when the kids were sleeping...never bothered by any bugs/mosquitoes outside either. Indoor pool was nice with a very hot, hot tub. There was also a sauna which we didn't use. On our last day we discovered that there was a 2nd hot tub and sauna over in the office building, but we never had time to check them out. There was also a nice outdoor pool and a little kiddie pool.
We liked having the refrigerator (with small freezer) and the microwave and we did all of our breakfasts in the room. The room was airconditioned (window/type unit). The two double beds were comfortable. There was a tv but we never had time to turn it on. I was thrilled that they had onsite laundry ($1.75 washer and an additional $1.75 per dryer). The last night I fell asleep in the laundry room waiting for my clothes to dry and the owner was nice enough not to lock up until after I left (at midnight). The family that owns this place works so very hard and they were helpful with restaurant suggestions, etc.... It's in a nice neighborhood and we took walks down the street and by the high school. It's close to everything, yet far enough away to be out of the "craziness" of the Dells. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Dells.
Big....Clean Rooms
I just got back from a short trip to the Dells. I didn't know what to expect from the Black Hawk, but I must say that it was everything I have read about. The rooms are spacious and sparkling clean. The only problem I had was a miscount when I turned my towels in. They claimed I only turned in three when I am sure it was four. I don't know what to expect from that since I just arrived home. This little hotel is off the beaten path and was sooo comfortable I didn't want to leave. I had two adjoining rooms and I couldn't even hear my two teens in the other room. The tv's had large screens, microwave and little refrigerator. All rooms except for the kitchenettes were just outside your door. Downtown wasn't close enough for me to walk to, but my teens took off and didn't mind the walk at all. I plan on staying there again next summer.
BlackHawk motel, nice & clean
The BlackHawk was a nice ma & pa place to stay. It's not fancy, but it's very clean and the owners treat their guest very well. The motel accidently booked me in a room that was already booked so they called me the next day to ask if it was ok to up grade me to a bigger two bedroom room. I was pleased with the upgrade. Our kitchenette was 70's style, but the kitchen was fully equiped with everything one would need to cook a full meal. I would stay there again.
Very Clean Motel
My wife and I stayed here over Memorial Day Weekend. We planned our trip at the last minute and finding a reasonable rate on a Holiday weekend wasn't easy. We found this little "Mom and Pop" place on the internet and booked a room. We were skeptical at first, but once we arrived we were greated with a very friendly and helpful staff. The room (single room with king size bed on upper floor, room 7 to be exact) was a typical motel room with refridgerator and microwave. What caught our eye though was the cleanliness. I don't know if this was the opening weekend for them or not, but this room was immaculately clean. In places where you would typically find dust in a 3, 4, or 5 star hotel there was none! It was somewhat different in the fact that they used liquid body wash in the bathroom and shower as opposed to bar soaps and shampoo, but it worked for us. This place was older but very well maintained. The upper balcony (as well as all other rooms) had lawn chairs and a little table outside the room, ideal for relaxing at the end of the day. This may not be the place for someone looking for all the perks of other places (continental breakfast, shampoo and conditioner, writing tablets, etc.) but if your looking for a nice clean room to sleep in at night and maybe watch a little TV (almost 100 channels) this is the place. Nice restaurant a block away (Family Chef) with full line menu. They also had both an indoor and an outdoor pool, as well as assigned parking at your door. I will make it a point to stay here again.
Great Hotel
This hotel was immaculate and the staff was very nice and made checking in a breeze. They even got me in two hours early. It was easy to make reservations and I would definately pick this hotel first to stay in next time I visit the dells.
Great motel!
My husband and I stayed at the Black Hawk Motel and thought it was well kept, clean, and very efficient. The motel owner was very friendly and accomodating. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely stay there again.
Great Place at a Great Price
I love this place. I've stayed 4 times now and will continue to do so for all future Wis Dells trips. The place is really clean and affordable; two swimming pools!!! Well worth the price.
Nice place
Me and my husband went there last year and from the pictures I thought that it wouldn't be the best place, but I also didn't want to spend alot of $$ for a hotel.. We got there and it was very nice and clean.. The pool ( indoor and outdoor) was very nice especially the hot tub.. The game room is small but was nice, and the staff was especially nice to us. I would recomend this hotel to anyone, even with people who have children..
Family big or small
family owned forever.my parents took me .now i take my kids.not the biggest but clean good service and good prices.if you want the dells and dont think u can afford it.bring your own food and cook on the grills or in kitchenettes will enjoy no doubt
Loved this place
We stayed here for 3 nights last year the place was very clean, the people were very friendly. Will for sure go back again in the summer.

Wellesley, Mass—According to a new technical market research report, FIBER OPTIC SENSORS (IAS002D) from BCC Research, the U.S. market for fiber optic sensors (FOS) was worth $235.0 million in 2007 and an estimated $330.0 million in 2008. This will increase to $430.0 million in 2009 and $1.6 billion in 2014, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.0%.
The market is broken down into extrinsic and intrinsic fiber optic sensors. Intrinsic FOS have the larger share of the market, generating $170.0 million in 2007 and an estimated $238.0 million in 2008. This segment is expected to generate $306.0 million in 2009 and $1.4 billion in 2014, for a CAGR of 35.0%.
The extrinsic FOS segment was worth $65.0 million in 2007 and an estimated $92.0 million in 2008. This should increase to $124.0 million in 2009 and $219.0 million in 2014, for a CAGR of 12.0%.
Fiber optic sensors are an enabling technology that adds value to larger systems. FOS make it possible to measure strain, temperature and pressure in conditions under which other sensor technologies fail.
FOS are an important part of systems designed to monitor optical networks, oil reservoirs and the condition of pipelines and bridges. FOS also allows geologists to create three dimensional maps of underground rock formations and reservoirs.
Defense and oil and gas services are the largest current markets for fiber optic sensors. Perimeter security for critical installation and monitoring options for borders are a growing market. Biomedical applications are a developing future market, if the new devices can perform as promised and if they win regulatory approval.
The cost to performance ratio remains a limitation to the adoption of the technology because the high price must be justified for the new proposed uses. One new challenge on the horizon is the variety of new wireless technologies that offer the potential to provide some the bandwidth advantages at lower cost and with higher flexibilities.

So this past week has been rough! Last night after a long day of activities I came home, went pee and when I wiped I had brown discharge! So I freak out and weel I just need to know if this is normal? I went to Keiser's urget care and after a long wait found out I have a bladder infection and possibly a vaginal infection. So they put me on antibiotics...then the brown discharge went away...but now its back and im getting scared. I have been experiencing slight cramping but nothing severe. This is my first so I am concerned. No bleeding but just brown discharge that varies from dark to light. Also does anyone know if those Monestat (spelling?) stuff for yeast infections are safe? Sorry for the long blog but I am tired of stressing and feeling scared.
Brown Discharge???

Monistat is perfecty fine for yeast infections. If the benefits of any med didn't outweigh the risks the med wouldn't be given to you. Know that yeast infections, as well as bacterial vaginosis, are more common during pregnancy.
The brown discharge you have really isn't anything to be concerned over to be honest. Brown = old blood, and it can come and go through-out pregnancy. Does not mean imminent gloom and doom, mkay Momma?
Hang in there, you will be fine and so will baby :).

Having kids is a lot like being pecked to death by a chicken.
My doctor always advises me to contact her if I experience bleeding or colorful discharge. To be on the safe side, you could make an appointment with you doctor just to get things checked out. Brown blood does signal that whatever is going on is running it's course. But you can never be to sure.
I spotted during my first trimester (which freaked me and DH out). Everything turned out to be fine. I attributed the bleeding to intercourse (TMI - but it was a strong possibility). The bleeding quickly turned to brown discharge then clear...in about 1 week. I went to the emergency room and had a follow up appointment with my doctor the day after.

Docs usually worry a whole lot more about fresh bleeding than the old blood being expelled. There are multiple reasons why this can occur during pregnancy, most are nothing to worry about. There are a couple things that could cause it that are good to have checked out. If it continues I'd consider pressing for an ultrasound to check your placenta's position, etc...

I went through this EXACT same thing! @ 6 weeks I had some bleeding and a weird brown discharge. Went to the ER said I had a bladder infection that got bacteria into my uterus. Went on Keflex for 7 days (made me sick as hell!) everything seemed to get better, but than after the antibiotivs were finished the brown discharge came back, So I went back to the ER they told me it was probably residual bacteria emptying out of my system. My regular OBGYN told me that some women just have alot of discharge throughout their pregnancies. Did you have any U/S done? my doc confirmed strong fetal heart rate and the baby was growing according to schedule and said not to worry or stress about the discharge unless it was bright red or I felt extensive cramping. The discharge only last about 2 weeks after I was finished with the antibiotics and now everything is back to normal..... sorry if this doesn't help just thought I would let you know you aren't alone!!!
Some call it CHAOS, we call it OUR FAMILY!
My spotting started at 9wks on Friday with goey pale pink stuff. After sex on Saturday, I have had brown discharge that at first I only noticed when wiping but now I see it in my panties. I am now 9wks and 3 days. Tomorrow I am seeing my OB and Thursday I am going for a sonogram. This is my first pregnancy so I am FLIPPING! Everyone tells me to stay calm but how is that possible?!? Any advice or comments are welcome.
Due date: June 5, 2010
I had the same experience last weekend with the brown discharge which really scared my husband and I because I have experienced a miscarriage in the past. Had an US and lab work and everything was fine. Dont freak out!! It can be completeley normal but have your dr see you and have an US just to put your mind at ease. Good Luck! They say if it is brown it is old blood try to stay calm.
Hi All,
I am 11 weeks and 5 days and am still having brown discharge. I have had bright red bleeding twice but it always quickly goes away. I have had two ultrasounds and I have another one in 3 days. Everything always checks out fine. I have only had 1 fully week without bleeding of any kind (red or brown). This is my third child and it is very hard because I am so worried all the time.
I had placenta previa with my second child and my dr. says this could be the result of some of the bleeding and the placenta invading into my uterus. She thinks it will resolve itself. It is concerning that I have had bleeding for this long. Anyone else in the same situation or have any thoughts?

With the economy struggling to find firm ground, abstinence from all things capitalistic has been the motto of the year. Brands poised between recession and the green shoots of recovery forced their agencies to deliver think out of the box. While many ads ended up trying too hard, the gems this year have been good enough to share on Facebook walls and Twitter feeds, causing them to go viral. Josy Paul, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of advertising agency BBDO, says, The difference in advertising this year has been social media. There are now conversations happening with brands directly and the ads have helped this happen. This will continue to be important in the next year.
Old Spice Wyde+ Kennedy
The idea to relaunch Old Spice was to tap into two generations people who used Old Spice in the 80s and those who were kids at the time and watched their elders use it. Using Indias first male supermodel Milind Somans mature and Mantastic looks, this campaign managed instant virality. When the shirtless Soman hardsells masculinity in a
bottle of Old Spice, a lot of viewers, especially of the female persuasion, were impressed. V Sunil, Executive Creative Director of Wyde+ Kennedy, says, I wanted to have Milind Soman even before we had fully formed the idea for the TVC. When you think about it there are no real good-looking men, most of them are chocolate boys.
Google Reunion Ogilvy & Mather
All the ad men we spoke to mentioned the Google Reunion campaign as one of the most powerful ones of 2013. In the ad, two old friends, separated by Partition, meet again, powered by Google. The scriptwriter for the ad, Sukesh Kumar Nayak of Ogilvy & Mather, says, People reach out for Google when they want to find out something they dont know. We wanted to dig deeper, and make the connection between real life and Google magical. This magic has given the ad more than 10 million views on YouTube.
GE Cancer Diagnostic Scanner BBDO
This has been a year of socially aware advertising, says Josy Paul. GEs branding stresses on adding a human connect with machines, and their ad for the Diagnostic Scanner stretches this concept further. If cancer does not discriminate and affects everyone rich or poor, young or old GEs unprejudiced technology paves the road to hope. Though this ad didnt go viral, the message of hope was too good for us not to add it to our Top 5.
Tanishq remarriage Lowe Lintas
In the aftermath of the Delhi gangrape, 2013 became the year when womens issues found a voice from the social media to the mainstream. When National Creative Director Arun Iyer and his team at Lowe Lintas began to brainstorm for Tanishqs new collection, they realised they needed to do something bold. Their ad shows a dusky woman getting remarried with all the frills of Indian weddings, including the saat pheras, and with her little daughter among the guests. The woman realises that she has made the right choice when her new husband reaches out to her daughter in a unique way. The ad, reflecting a new level of gender equality, went viral within days and tapped into Indias larger conversation.
IDBI Bank Friendship Ogilvy & Mather
Children are a common trope used by advertisers to attract eyeballs and mindspace, but this one by IDBI gets it right. It taps into nostalgia and is among the shortest ads we have featured on this list. In its four spots, the ads feature different children, who are friends because one of them has stood up for the other through a tough time. Warm and fuzzy, it reminds us of our earliest friendships.

Skip to comments.Politics: Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings loses his mind after Lois Lerner pleads the Fifth
Posted on 03/05/2014 4:44:57 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Hissy fit!
Moments ago, embattled ex-Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner appeared before Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee. She was supposedly there to answer questions about the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. You may remember that President Obama has dismissed this entire scandal because he claims there wasn't "even a smidgen of corruption" involved.
That's weird, because Lois Lerner promptly invoked her rights under the 5th Amendment and refused to answer any questions. For the record, the 5th Amendment is the one that deals with not offering testimony that might incriminate yourself. You'd think that would be hard to do if the President's "not a smidgen" claim was true.
Anyway, there was no surprise here. Everyone expected that - without immunity - this was exactly what Lerner would do. The interesting part came after she clammed up and a visibly frustrated Issa adjourned the hearing.
It seems ranking Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings had planned on doing some of his patented "inane grandstanding," and Issa derailed his intentions. Cummings would not be denied. First, he tried to pretend that he had a legitimate question, but then immediately launched into his standard set of rambling talking points. So, Issa dismissed everyone in the room and cut the power to Cummings' microphone.
This triggered a meltdown that rivalled the Fukushima reactor. Seriously. Cummings completely lost it.
"I AM A MEMBER OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," He bellowed. "AND I AM TIRED OF THIS!!!"
The video appears below. You're going to love it.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Let's not kid ourselves. This was all staged to turn what should be a huge Dem liability into a racial issue. "Look how Issa is disrespecting the black Congressman!!!!"
Cummings lost his mind a long time ago.
Dude lost his mind long before this.
Cummings is just part of the criminal thug mob. Evil bastard creating a distraction from the real story. Lerner has engaged in criminal conduct. On behalf of whom. you ask. Obviously the One.
They are assuming Cummings had a mind to begin with
Elijah has a habit of this, he's not the chairman and he's often off his meds.
Cummings is tied by emails to the coverup.
Either the crooks go to jail soon, or ...
Rush called him Stonewall Cummings today.
Writer is assuming that Cummings ever had a mind in the first place. He's from Maryland where a "mind" is hindrance to elected office. Just look at the leftist, authoritarian Democrats they have elected to office in the past few years, starting with Marxist O'Malley and working your way down the food chain to the ground slugs.
Who's going to press charges? Where? In which court?
You cannot lose something you NEVER ever had.
Isn't one required to have a mind BEFORE one could lose their mind?
Am I missing something, here?
Video right here -
Do you think Boehner is going to appoint a select committee to investigate Lois Learner or Hillary Clinton?
Fat freaking chance! They are all so crooked none of them dare buck Obama.
Obama's blackness is a magic spell that causes our politicians to wet and our media to worship.
Turn your eyes to the Ukraine and witness our future: tyranny, terror and tribulations.
Not proud to say that Cummings represents the district in which I live. I have been accused of being too critical of him in the past, including on FR. I take none of it back.
He does this stupid crap for the low information voters..... the black voters in particular see this as sticking it to the man. Or as a black man being denied his rights by whitey
He just had one more question to axe. But he didn't axe it.
Watergate Cummings has a nice ring to it, too.
As I watched Cummings contrived rage it occurred top me Cummings is a registered (card carrying) Progressive Socialist. If I recall correctly Lee Harvey Oswald was also a socialist traitor making believe he was a loyal American. Never trust any registered socialist. They are looking for America's downfall.
His incoherent grandstanding gets him votes. He's playing to the idiots who elect him time after time
Taze him. He was totally out of control. No member of congress should be allowed to act like such an ass, not even a black one. He should be expelled.
Cummings sole motivation on the committee is to aid and abet the stonewalling however he can. He does not want damning evidence presented.
Issa cut the microphone off on him while he was ranting...classic!
Elijah Cummings and his hateful racist counterpart John Lewis are examples of being in the right place at the right time. Their honest and brave efforts during the civil rights movement catapulted them into careers (and riches) they could never have dream of.
Cummings is under investigation. For using official House committee stationary to demand access to documents from Tea party orgs. And personally going to one tea party group organizers place of business and demanding access.
He attempted to be Obama's jack booted intimidator. His attempted coverup has failed and his master is not happy.
It's an act to distract.
Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
Don't talk to the police.
I think we're all sick and tired of the race card being played for everything under the sun.
""We're adjourned. Close it down."
Elijah Cummings .... another caring individual, and proud member of The Democratic Socialist Party of America.
Why hasn't this Communist been removed from office?
IMHO, once you have signed on the dotted line, and become a listed member of either The Socialist Party, or The Communist Party, you have affirmed that you are a traitor to the founding principles, and founding documents of this nation.
Lucky you. I only have to spend 9 hours a day in that moron's district.
How better to divert attention from the explosive content of the emails Issa quoted from in trying to get Lerner to testify - "The Tea Party business is dangerous", "this should be taken away from the Cincy people", "I want to have a second look at the (Rove) pac material" - she's afraid for her life? - it isn't Republicans who want her gone.....
How can he lose his mind? He never had one to begin with.
Cummings would make a good comrade over in Today's South Africa. He would fit in just fine. He blew his top because someone got between him and the TV cameras. Darryl Issa.
Cumming had been savoring for days his upcoming moment in the sun but Issa shut it down
"I AM A MEMBER OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," He bellowed. "AND I AM TIRED OF THIS!!!"
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Oh, that's funny!
Cummings is a racist blowhard
He is a disgrace to the state of Maryland
Cummings has a mind? Didn't know that. I've certainly never seen any evidence that would suggest that he does. /racism

Feds doing more oversight at SC nuclear plant
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Federal officials announced Monday they are going to be doing more oversight at a South Carolina nuclear power plant that has tallied a number of incidents in recent years.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is going to keep a closer eye on Duke Energy's H.B. Robinson plant near Hartsville, where a diesel generator automatically shut down in October when radiator fan belts failed.
No workers or nearby residents were in danger, and the diesel generator wasn't actually needed. But officials said the belts were so degraded and poorly maintained that the generator couldn't have been used properly if necessary, such as during a power loss or fire.
"Overall, the Robinson plant continues to be operated safely," NRC Region II Administrator Victor McCree said in a news release. "However, the additional oversight and inspection by the NRC is warranted because we expect plants to ensure that all important equipment is properly inspected and maintained."
The action is a follow-up to an August meeting, in which NRC officials discussed Duke's apparent failure to perform adequate preventive maintenance at Robinson. The agency said the October 2012 issues were low-level but still said officials would take a closer look in the hopes of preventing future problems.
Robinson is actually undergoing a scheduled shutdown this week for refueling the reactor and other maintenance. A third of the fuel inside the single-unit, 750-megawatt pressurized water reactor needs to be replaced every 18 months. Officials have estimated that the planned outage, which will take several days, will cost about $60 million.
The NRC stepped up scrutiny at Robinson after incidents in 2010 that included fires, a faulty emergency generator breaker and inadequate worker training. In 2011, a false alarm sounded in a reactor containment building while the unit was being brought back on line after a faulty relay shut it down three days earlier.

Fort Laramie Strawberries are from the "ice-box" section of our nation, Cheyenne, Wyoming, this is a super hardy, wonderfully producing everbearing strawberry. You'll harvest your first berries this very summer! And what berries -- HUGE, bright, scarlet-red berries with pink to scarlet color right to the core. Makes your mouth water just to smell their heavenly aromatic fragrance, and your taste buds tingle as you enjoy their sweet, delicious taste. Fort Laramie Strawberries are high yielding, vigorous plants that produce large berries right through the season.
Strawberries in general:
Everbearing Strawberries produce an early summer crop and also a fall crop with some berries on and off all summer. Tip: Pinch off blooms for first two months on everbearing strawberries to promote larger harvest.
June bearing strawberries produce a single crop each year during a 2-3 week period. Tip: If you get blooms the first year while the plant is getting established pinch the blooms off to ensure a large fruit crop the next year.

I had a Technium 440 for a while, with stock 27" wheels it was 25#. I could get it down to 23.5 by changing the wheels, but I didn't like the handling so I sold it cheap to a friend.
I had an Atala 1981 Campione d'Italia, also 23# even with some weight-weenie parts (pedals, saddle), likewise my Shogun 400 for commuting is 23#. Even my old full-Campy Alan was pushing 22-23.
My recently built Vitus 979 is 19#. So I have to concur with the other posters- a "typical" good 80's road bike is going to be about 22-23 pounds, and if you want to go lighter, it's going to be aluminum, tubulars, perhaps updating to carbon fork & seatpost, etc. If you want it to be chaep, and a commuter, going for light weight isn't a practical way to go, anyway.
+1 on that frame. Got one & love it!
Honestly, why the fixation on weight? If you get a name brand, middle-of-the-line or higher bike, you're going to get something under 25 lbs (my freakin' huge Raleigh Pro is about 23 lbs with campy everything). For pretty much everything but balls-out racing, I'd expect that a sub-25lb steel frame would work fine.
1951 Raleigh Lenton Sports
1967 Phillips Sports
1974 Peugeot UO-8 fixed gear
1978 Raleigh Super Course
1981 Schwinn LeTour
1984 Nishiki Riviera GT
1987 Nishiki Modulus
1988 Fuji Palisade
1994 Univega Activa Trail (converted to drops)
Master of the low end garbajj!
In my experience, a truly sub-20 lb bike was a rarity and usually involved some pretty extreme compromises. Even then, when you did see a 20 pounder, it was usually a tiny size, too.
Get a lightweight bike. Raleigh Pro's, top of the line Bianchi's, etc are great bikes with great components and can be found at reasonable prices. Buy a 531 frame in an appropriate size outfitted with Nuovo Record components. That will be a good vintage bike - guaranteed!
If you want a status symbol, buy the MASI (or whatever). It will also be a good bike.
Want it to feel light, lighter than it is? Do yourself a favor - be sure your new machine has light-weight rims and light-weight but great quality tires (for example, tubular tires or the Challenge "open tubulars").
i already got the raleigh, it's a cool bike, light enough, smooth enough, took it to the lbs for a 60 dollar tune up
gotta get used to the old school shifting, unfortunately none of the spare parts i had lying around would fit it, so my upgradeitis is dead until i get the sram group for my CF bike and transfer the ultegra to this bike (if its even possible)
Remember that bike weight depends on frame size, stem length, seat post length, your own weight, and on the roads on which you ride, so it depends how light you can get or want to get. I ride 58cm seat tube c-to-c and have several Italian bikes in Columbus tubing ranging from 22.5 to 23.1 pounds, and I'm not trying for light wheels and tires due to rough roads and my own weight.
This is an old thread and I am about to try to shed some of my body weight in order to ride my sub 14lb. Vitus, completely custom. Very little magnetic on this 57cm beauty. Wheels by Dave Thomas with the front wheel tipping the scales at 495 grams! FiberFlite carbon fiber spokes date the machine. cinelli1R stem bolt anD I even have a spare! Brody magnesium wedge and a Sachs-Huret magnesium freewheel, lots of rare obsolete parts made this machine quick and unique. Mark
Yes, Please take pics asap for us, before the super weenie Vitus flies away with the wind......
And then we might assume the uber weenie ("completely custom"?? Were you cutting the frame tubes short too??) bike "never happened".....

Driver fires shot at deer, hits truckFebruary 05,2014Staff Report
MONKTON — Someone took an illegal shot through their truck window at a deer early Wednesday, but hit another vehicle on the road instead, police said.
Michael Deforge, 30, of Essex Junction told Vermont State Police he was driving on the Monkton-Vergennes Road after midnight when he came upon another truck that had stopped for a deer that crossed the road.

Posted by a Consumer on 04/05/151.0 out of 5.0AVOID THIS FIRM! THEY ARE AS UNETHICAL AS IT GETS!!. Mr. Green will string you along for 2.5 years, telling you your case is strong and how he has no problem taking it all the way if need be. How he's ready to fight them in court. Then, while you're in the middle of settlement talks at the courthouse, with the judge, he will DEMAND you take their crappy settlement offer. He will tell you if you don't he will drop you as a client and give you 30 days to find a new attorney. We all know, it's impossible to find a new attorney 2 and a half years into a lawsuit. Then, as if that's not bad enough, after you have been forced to take a settlement you did not want, he presents you with a statement. It gives you a total for his expenses. This comes out of your settlement. You think you're done, right? Wrong!! His staff member, Rachael Kirtley, will call you and tell you there is now nearly $1000 MORE in expenses A MONTH later. She also informs you they are taking an expense out TWICE. I call that double dipping.

So, if you hire this unethical firm, you will be greeted with lies, over confidence, unethical behavior, double charging you for expenses and will be the victim all over again. I am going tomorrow to file a lawsuit in small claims court to retrieve the money they stole from me by double charging and unethical behavior. Then I am considering filing an ethics complaint with the ethics committee. Oh and one last thing, if you ask for a detailed list of your expenses, don't expect to get it. We asked for a detailed list of all expenses. Who, what, when and why. We were told we would receive it in a week or so. It's been a month and a half. If you want more details, please feel free to send me a private message. I will be happy to give you ALL the details.

I was promised A LOT more than what i got. I even had to pay my own medical bills out of my settlement. I felt like Tom Blackburn did not want to fight for me and only cared about settling. Nobody at the office knew what was going on with my case or could ever give me correct answers. Once we settled I was told I would have my settlement in up to 30 days. It has been 46 days and still nothing. When I call to see what is going on with it, people are rude and havePosted by a Consumer on 06/29/135.0 out of 5.0I am completely satisfied with how everything was managed and with the outcome of the proceedings.

"OK Stay"
The management company is first rate. My family and I have stayed at Elk Springs several times.There were a few problems.Housekeeping missed a few places but when notified that was taken care of right away.The air conditioner was not big enough to cool the chalet.If it had been warmer it would have been uncomfortable.Whenwe we reported the problem,maintenance was there quickly to do what they could. I guess it be best to stay at Mountain Laurel in the cooler months but all in all I thought it was nice

"Granddaughter's (Becca's) Birthday Trip"
My husband and I have always rented a larger cabin in a private location even if we only had a couple of family members with us, but had two teenage girls with us and wanted to be close to shopping and the shows, rides and etc. What a great decision! Private enough to enjoy the hot tub and deck but close to everything. The cabin looked small from the outside ( the granddaughter, Becca, even called it cute), but it was much larger than it looked. Three floors with a full bedroom and bath on each floor. The top floor also had a sitting room/living room area, the main floor had a huge bedroom and bath, living room, kitchen and dining area, the lower level had a game room, large bedroom and bath, entertainment center with a spacious sitting area and even a microwave. This made a great area for Becca & her BFF. WOW! The staff was not only professional but very friendly. Thanks!

"Very nice trip"
The cabin was beautiful. Very roomy and well decorated. The only issue we had was some leakage in the basement but nothing major that we couldn't handle. The area in general was gorgeous with wildlife surrounding you everywhere you look. About a 10-15 min drive to downtown Gatlinburg. Definitely will be returning.

"New Years Getaway"
The cabin was very nice and we had a wonderful time. However, the sleeper sofas were horrible and the couples that had to sleep on them actually chose to sleep on the floor instead. So the cabin really sleeps 6 comfortably. Also the thermostat would automatically reset to 72 degrees after several hours and it felt like a sauna in the bedrooms if you didn't pay close attention to what it was set on. But other than those minor things, the cabin was very clean and nice.

"Great cabin, poor service"
After driving 650 miles and arriving at 430 am when the temps were in the 20's, i was unable to enter my cabin bc the code i was given was not correct. I was then unable to speak to anyone until 830 that morning. Also, their office is NOT at the location listed on the website. I inquired about another cabin on the website and was told they did not manage that property???!!!

"Not What I was Looking For"
I was probably in too big a hurry when I booked this property. Really not looking to come to the smokies and be in a subdivision. The view from this cabin is disappointing at best. This was my fault for not asking enough questions.
This is a nice place but the kitchen and eating area are way too small. The table sits right in the way of the sliding doors to the deck. Also the description leads you to believe that there is a 42" TV in the master bedroom on the lower floor, no TV in this bedroom.
On the positive side I loved the way we were able to check-in and out without having to go to an office.

Hi Steve, thanks for your comments. People really do enjoy the cabin, however, it does not have an open mountain view. There are views on the property and folks certainly do enjoy the gentle paved roads, ease of access as well as the great finishes, layout and comfort of the cabin. Plus being in a secluded and private community with maintenance and housekeeping on site is much more reliable. We do thank you for staying with us and we do have cabins with views as well!

"Family reunion"
We rented 3 cabins in a row, perfect for a group experience. Of the 3 this was the most spacious, and like the others, had been carefully cleaned and is in a spectacular peaceful but convenient location. Elk Springs made this family time truly memorable and we will both return and recommend it to all. Of all 3 this might need the most updating...stair carpets and maybe air hockey table not working. Still a great vacation.Thanks

We've fixed the air hockey, there was a problem with the scoreboard that is now repaired.

"3-Night Stay"
Last year I stayed in Four Seasons cabin,and was much more satisfied. This year I stayed in Mt. Laurel and found the furniture to be worn out and the carpet in the lower level wet. There was no gas in the outdoor firepit grill--or it didn't work?. I would return, but would request a different cabin.

Overall we had a wonderful time. The cabin was a good size for the number of people we had. There were just a few cosmetic issues that needed to. E addressed. The location was excellent as you did not have to drive far to be in the heart of the mountains or downtown Garlinburg. We also enjoyed the arts and crafts community. We would definetly stay with Elk Springs again.

"Burkenstocks family trip to the Smokys"
had a great time on our family vacation. spent 4 nights in Mountain Laurel after the management staff moved us over from Secret Gardens, having air condition troubles, cabin was warm all afternoon. Mountain Laurel was a great cabin. very clean, spacious, easy to get to, very cool temps insides. Only complaint was the AIR HOCKEY game was broken and the boys really wanted to play that. But not a big deal, we stayed very busy and enjoyed our 8 days in Gatlinburg. We honeymooned in the area 25 years ago and we return every 3-4 years with our sons. Tried white water rafting for the first time and loved it!!!!

This was the first time that our family has all been on vacation together! The cabin was awesome! It was so pretty and very clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to dine in every night and the little gas fireplace on the back porch was amazing for just sitting around and enjoying the evening! We will definitely use Elk Springs Resort again in the future!

The house was very nice. The kitchen and dining area were a little small for 10 people, but sleeping arrangements were fine. The deck is big but the view is not particularly spectacular since the cabin is not very high up the mountain. The kids loved the games and Xbox in the basement

I have to say that our stay in Gatlinburg with Elk Springs Resort in Mount Laurel was a great experience. The house was the perfect size and captured that mountain and cabin feel. The hot tub was great for after an evening of going out, the views were decent and the bedroom with the fireplace was nice to stay in. Overall, we are all in agreement to come back next year!

"GREAT (except for hot tub and AC)"
The cabinb was wonderful, clean, felt cozy and warm (a little too warm because the AC was set at 74 and could not be lowered and with a cabin full of warm natured people, this didn't go over too well). Also, could not figure out how to get the hot tub going, but waited until the last night of our stay to try it and it wasn't worth calling about. Overall though, we had a great vacation weekend, enjoyed the coziness of a cabin with all the modern ammenities!

"Relaxing Family Stay in a Beautiful Cabin"
Stayed at this property for eight nights with a family of four to include 4 and 2 year olds. Cabin was charming inside and out. A quantity of trees provided a sense of separation from other cabins in the vicinity. Hot tub and other cabin amenities (air hockey, pool, Netflix) provided some fun at the end of the day taking in the area. Location was close to the National Park, downtown Gatlinburg, artisan area and Pigeon Forge--but not too close so that traffic was ever a problem.
Had some trouble with wasps outside, but the management team came to deal with the problem in minutes--VERY responsive.
Overall, a quality stay out of the way and yet still close enough to all the major area activities.

"Very Relaxing and spacious cabin for family of 4-5"
We had a great time at the Mt. Laurel cabin and look forward to returning soon. The cabin was clean and very well maintained. My two kids (10 and 14) really enjoyed the air hockey table and pool table. We spent quite a bit of time in downtown Gatlinburg and in the Smokey Mtns, but we always looked forward to the fact that we'd be returning to this beautiful cabin.
The only complaints I have are that the mattress box springs in the cabin were very noisy and there isn't a door to the bathroom area of the master room. Aside from those minor issues, everything else meet or exceeded expectations.
Here are some things we learned that others may find useful:
1. There is a Food City grocery store within 10 minutes of the cabin, so consider picking up any supplies (i.e. coffee filters, sunscreen, cooking supplies) before check-in. I don't suggest newcomers drive the mountain roads at night, especially in the winter.
2. Cell phone reception is weak in this part of the mountains, so expect a few dropped or missed calls. This is somewhat of a mixed blessing ;-)
Response from the , Elk Springs Resort - 07/23/2011
Hi William, thank you for the kind feedback and recommendations. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. The roads are plowed to our property and we do have snow removal equipment. We also have Gas lighting on the property to ease the stress of driving at night. But the roads compared to the other cabin areas are actually much easier to drive on, including our resort property where we have 24' roads. Cell phones can be a minor problem, but this cabin in particular is equipped with a land line phone with unlimited long distance and local calls - which is common for our cabins.We appreciate the feedback and remember that you get 10% off any future stays as a repeat guest!

Well, My spa was stinking after one day and chair at the kitchen floor(1st floor) was not sufficient. We were 10 people and needed 10 chairs outside. The couch bed (sofabed) was not for two big boys so, they had hard time to sleep. Overall the location and facility was alright. We will definitely come nexttime. The price was high too ($513) for two days.
Response from the , Elk Springs Resort - 07/12/2011
Thanks for your comments. Should you have a housekeeping issue please call us as we can respond quickly. The hot tub water may need to be changed given heavy use and we are happy to change it for you. The pricing for your cabin during the prime season is a very good below market value at $513 for a 2 night stay. Most would expect to pay over $1,000 for a 3 bedroom cabin for that same time frame. We buy commercial grade sleeper sofas which are better quality, but they are not quite as large as a king sized bed. Glad you overall enjoyed your stay!

Like the cabin and location of Elk Spring. It is sort of secluded and still minutes from all the activities.

not private at all, the phones didnt work, game table didnt work, if your in the hot tub on the upstairs deck then the people below you are getting wet!! Not thought out very well. very small compaired to other places I have stayed. The online pictures make it look larger. The bed on the middle floor is so loud it woke my kids up sleeping on the lower lever every time I moved around! my mom forgot/lost her jacket and I called the office and left a message to see if it was found but I never heard back from anyone at Elk Springs. The best thing I can say is that it was very clean and had nice dishes and stuff to use.

"$ 45.00 cleaning fee is a joke"
for the second year in a row we arrived and the cabins floors were dirty, and not to mention the thousands of ladybird beetles above the front entrance in the window ledge. so upon arrival, one notices all of this nastiness and then for your entire stay your dwelling on the cleaning fee, which somewhat takes away from your trip!!

"Dream Holiday Vacations. We had a wonderful time at the cabin.."
Even though we were very happy and would come back anytime, there are certain things that we recommend to be checked, in order to make people's stay more comfortable:
- the heating did not work very well on certain rooms, like the top room and the basement room, which got really cold, while the living room and kitchen were too hot,
- the pool table needs maintenance,
- the air hockey table did not work,
- the hot tub needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly, the water did not look very clean,
- the water heater was not enough to warm up water for 8 people.
Response from the , Elk Springs Resort - 12/28/2010
Hi Paola, we've included operating instructions on the air hockey table. After meeting with you at the cabin we made it more clear that you do need to plug in the air hockey table. We've put instructions near the table on the wall. We've also replace the thermostat with a thermostat that better controls the heating in the mid and upper levels. We certainly are happy to service the hot tub during your stay, please contact our office and we would be happy to do so. After the initial use if lotions or soaps or excess detergents are on clothes it can cause a film and fog to appear in the tub water, but we do drain, sanitize and treat each tub prior to check in.

"We were told there..."
We were told there was a pool within the cabin community and there was not. Maybe the person at your office thought we were talking about the Gatlinburg public pool (unfortunately that was closed the week we were there). The website was not updated with the new completion date for the pool when we were looking into the cabin (it said fall 2009 and we looked at the website in March 2010). So that was the only disappointment.

We stayed in Mt. Laurel cabin and absolutely loved it. It was central to all the sites but off the beaten path.

Great Place-I'm so glad we found it.

This is our 2nd stay with Elk Springs but first in this cabin. We enjoyed the cabin and loved the seclusion. The cabin was very clean and accomodated our family nicely.

"Overall Great Vacation Spot!"
When we first arrived to the cabin - we walked in and were very taken back. It was tastefully decorated and looked very clean. This was our second cabin rental in Tennessee and we were very impressed. As we settled in for the night we found a few issues with some of the amenities. The first being the squeaky beds. All three of them had issues. The second night we came home from a day of sight seeing and planned on sitting on the deck with a fire on in the gas log fire pit. It was disappointing to find that it didn't work (out of propane) but even more disappointing when we called the next day to report that it wasn't working we were told that it wasn't the property manager's responsibility to make sure the tanks were full that it was the cabin owner's responsibility. What is the point of having a property manager that doesn't make sure things are in proper working order and corrects the issue once it is reported. I feel they should have corrected it right away especially since that was one of the amenities posted about the cabin information on the website. The pool table was very cheap - the felt was in poor condition and you could lift it up off the table.The air hockey table didn't work properly - which were two things we made sure the cabin had since we had 4 teenage boys with us during our week long stay. There were spare TV's shoved in a corner of the basement - which should have been stored in a closet or some other place out of site. We had 6 people staying in the cabin that slept 8 - an additional bathroom maybe in the basement would have been nice since the only other two bathrooms are located in the two bedrooms. Overall, we had a great vacation - made some great memories - just not sure we would stay here again. Would recommend to a smaller group of people especially with the bathroom situation.

Cabin wasn't as clean as it could've been-especially since there is a cleaning fee included into the rental cost-sheets & bedding seemed like they hadn't been cleaned. Also, cabin appeared to not be vacuumed.Also, although our cabin wasn't equipped w/ a Wii, I did request that before our stay-didn't think it would be a problem-but it was never there. That's okay-the kids loved the nature & the pool table! Overall, though, cabin was beautiful and was a real treat during our stay.

The cabin was cozy and clean but I feel it was misrepresented on the website. The cabin looks huge on the website and in reality the main area and kitchen are very small. The pool table is in need of repair or replacing, and a pool table was one of the main reasons for booking this particular cabin. The location isn't secluded and there isn't a stream behind the cabin. The accuracy of the descriptions of the properties are very important - it is the only source of information the renter has - i would not have booked this particular cabin if i had this information.

Mountain Laurel was a beautiful! I had 3 teenage girls that took over the upstairs, 3 teenage boys that took over the bottom floor/game room and my mother & I had the main floor to ourselves.

Very nice house. It was very easy to get to. We loved the fireplace during the cold nights. The only things we didn't like was that it wasn't very exclusive. The cabins were close together and we had one evening of a party next door until very late hours. We also had an issue with wasps within the house. We called the office and they came to take care of the problem. It was a very nice property and development. More than likely will be back next year. Thanks for the memories!

"Nice Cabin but Needs Fixing"
The downstairs game room area was unusalble because it stayed cold. We were told to close the vents to force the air downstairs but that did not help. We couldn't take advantage of the pool table and air hockey because the cold was unbearable. The cabin also had a problem with lady bugs and wasps. I kept finding wasps in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom. I stopped counting after I killed four four wasps. We also had very little hot water in the upstairs bathroom. Had to boil water just to take a bath.

"Channing R.'s review of Mountain Laurel"
the only problem i had with the property was the cleanliness. there were dead flies around the master bathtub, a thousand ladybugs on the beam under window in front of the cabins. the lamp shades were very dusty, underneath the beds were very filthy, and the carpet looked as if it was not vacuumed! i dont mind paying a $45.00 cleaning fee if the property is clean. lastly, adding insult to injury, there was an envelope from the cleaning service asking for a tip! im sure alot of guests feel obligated to tip these individuals. i feel that the individuals that were responsible for cleaning our cabin before our stay should be reprimanded, and in return it would be easier for me to potentially book future stays, assuming that the cabin would be clean before arriving!!!

FESTIVALS: NYFF Avant-Garde Views, 5 Years and Counting
by Brian Frye
(indieWIRE/ 10.19.01) -- The New York Film Festival takes the old-school avant-garde seriously. And in the wake of the digital revolution, that's a lot more than can be said for most festivals these days. Last weekend, the NYFF presented "Views from the Avant-Garde," a festival sidebar curated by Gavin Smith and Mark McElhatten. For five years now, Smith and McElhatten have offered the more adventurous festival-goers their singular version of the movies. Easily the highest-profile screening of avant-garde films in the United States, it's a must-see for devotees. Of course, the films aren't for everyone, but audiences are steadily growing. In fact, this year virtually every program sold out.
Still, no one could accuse the programmers of pandering to their audience. "Views from the Avant-Garde" indisputably reflects their very particular tastes, and this year's program was more hermetic than ever. The series included 29 films presented in five programs over two days. As in previous years, the films spanned an impressive range of formats, from Super-8 to 35mm. The program even included a feature length digital video, Andrew Noren's rather disappointing "Time Being."
In recent years, "Views from the Avant-Garde" has enjoyed a degree of critical attention rarely afforded avant-garde film. It's not often one sees experimental films reviewed in The New York Times, and two filmmakers are largely responsible: Nathaniel Dorsky and Robert Beavers. While Dorsky and Beavers both began making films in the 1960s, they remained relatively obscure until a few years ago, when NYFF screenings catapulted them into the public eye. Both have appeared in the NYFF regularly since. It's quite gratifying that two such rigorous filmmakers should have attracted such a following, if a bit of a surprise. This year, Beavers's "The Ground" showed in a program with Dorsky's "Love's Refrain," the first time their films have played together.
One of Beavers's finest films to date, "The Ground" is the perfect example of his austerely beautiful style. Filmed in a remote part of Greece, the film consists of perhaps 5 or 6 images. A crouching man doggedly chisels a block of stone into shape, then beats his breast and cups his palm against it, to the sound of a bird fluttering skyward; the ruins of an ancient mill overlook a tiny, white chapel perched on a slip of land in the sea; a rude cave opens onto a shrine-like copse of trees. The images are each repeated several times in enigmatic combinations, slowly acquiring an iconic significance. The weight of history pressing onto the landscape is almost palpable, as if one is actually watching it accrete. After the screening, Beavers spoke of the man's beating of his breast as a cathartic act, but the film is charged with the tension between this catharsis and the asceticism that enables him to continue his endless labor. One has the impression that Beavers has somehow condensed the metaphysical struggle that precipitated Western civilization into its component elements.
"The Ground" was preceded by Nathaniel Dorsky's "Love's Refrain," which he called a coda to the trilogy completed by last year's "Arbor Vitae." Structurally, they are very similar. Silent films shown at silent speed (16 frames per second), they consist of exquisitely photographed images snatched from the flow of life. But where "Arbor Vitae" represented an attempt to transcend the physical world, "Love's Refrain" muses on its inescapable pull. If "Arbor Vitae" reflects a yearning for the glories of the pure spirit, "Love's Refrain" tempers that yearning with a reminder of its imminence. Dorsky is renowned for his skillful and subtle montage, and his new film is no exception. A poet of the mundane, Dorsky imbues his films with a powerful emotional charge by ensuring that his images always retain their particular character and never reduce to mere symbols. From the brightly colored prow of a tethered rowboat that begins "Love's Refrain" to the hovering, sun-drenched birds that end it, every image remains exactly what it is and no less, even while carrying the sense of the film.
