TripAdvisor Reviews Green Desert Hotel Dubai
Travel Blogs from Dubai
Hi all,
Well we've made it to Dubai at about 5 in the morning, extremely jet lagged and nowhere to sleep for the next 6 or so hours.
Honestly had no idea what to expect of this place. First impressions - Wow, secondly - 45 degrees, its a bit hot, and thirdly - perhaps we wont walk, lets get an air conditioned bus or ...
An exciting start to the morning
... had fun. We could sometimes buy water but could only drink it outside in hiding (Ramadan). It was very very hot and even though we enjoyed the tour, we were happy to get back to our hotel, our room, and our shower. After a clean up we ventured down for an early evening meal. Very nice. We then returned to our room, sorted our cases (we leave early tomorrow) and relaxed. A good ...
Bigger is Better??
... Dubai I am forced to take the much faster metro back to my hotel to gather my belongings. Little do I know as I follow the metro signs through the mall and into the pedways that the terminal is no where near the shopping center. Rather than a direct route to the station the pedways duck and weave between buildings from one shopping area to another before finally arriving at the station 25 minutes later. It would be faster to go outside but most people here would rather walk a ...
Dubai Notes
... have again demonstrated what must be a very good training programme. As for our last visit in September last year, every staff member that you meet is courteous, smiling and as helpful as they can be. The fact that every member you meet is that way indicates there is a good training programme and a happy workplace. It certainly makes our holiday much more pleasant.
Into a taxi at 9:45am and a 45 minute run up to the Gold Souk (60 Dirham). We decided to ...
3rd and last day in Dubai
... world, and only a very reduced part of them misunderstands the Quran to use violence. Dubai, probably due also to economic reasons, is a good example, as it has a huge inmigration wave (over 80% are inmigrants I think) in which they came from very different countries with different religions or beliefs and they all live peacefully. Also it's quite open with women, as the Brittish woman (fully covered but her face) also tried ...

terrible plugin, even authorized shows ZERO hits. LOL
Back now to my old simple tiny plugin and that works great.
Installation video and instructions are more about selling the addon than actually setting it up. When I connected it to my analytics account it used a completely different sites tracking code than the one it was installed on. No way to change the tracking code to the correct one in the settings either.
Downloading and installing this addon was a complete waste of time.
I keep getting a litany of errors at the bottom of the plugin page with this plugin since the upgrade, regarding "WordPress database error Incorrect key file for table ...", "Got error 28 from storage engine for query", etc.
Deleted the plugin. Downloaded the latest version. Tried to FTP it onto the site, and kept getting errors that it was using too much space and there were broken pipes.
Can't find access code from analytics. Update instructions
Since I am new to all of this, I wasn't aware that this G.A. wasn't the program that came with Yoast and I have been getting error messages about the plugin. Obviously being new, this took me forever to figure out what was going on and how to correct.
My best and only recourse was to uninstall this plugin and go with the one that Google provides.
Hope you'all have better luck.
After upgrading to WordPress 4.3 my metrics are shown all wrong, ghost visits and metrics from other days, not at all corresponding to what google analytics is actually measuring. Clearing cache and reauthorizing only works for that day, the next day everything is all screwed up again.
The authorization seems to work until you change pages or refresh, then it says there's an error, but none are in the logs and it says authorize again. Doesn't matter how many times you do it, same thing.
Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
Can't create the famous Access code !
I recently moved my blog to wordpress from blogspot, and suddenly all my numbers plummeted. As in 95 percent. I tweet links to my posts regularly so I know I am getting pageviews regularly, but GA is not recording.
I know I installed it correctly and when I reviewed each post's html my UA tracking code was nowhere to be found. When I tried to manually insert it, it vanished. In. Every. Post. I waited a few days, but the plugin is not working. When I clicked to see numbers for individual posts, I got 0 across the board for ALL POSTS which is impossible considering that the plugin is reporting some pageviews. I went to Google analytics webpage to check my numbers, they were completely different from what the plugin was reporting on my wp dashboard. Higher numbers but still not at the same level as before I moved my site. So I deleted it from my site and I'm using the wordpress analytics until I find something that works and that I like. I guess this is payback for leaving blogspot.

(Save the date: RealShare L.A.comes to the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, CA on March 27, 2013)
LOS ANGELES-GlobeSt.com has exclusively learned that Brian Good, president and founder of Eagle Group LLC has formed Eagle Group Finance, a direct hard money lender that specializes in short-and long-term financing secured by commercial real estate assets located in California, Nevada and Arizona.
Good formed Eagle Finance after attempts to acquire another hard money lender fell through. The Eagle Group unit also will serve as a platform for the company to acquire performing and non-performing loans, loan portfolios and servicing companies in the Western US.
"There is a definite void in the marketplace that we are targeting," says Good. "Borrowers are in need of debt that can close quickly on a non-recourse basis, for both short-term and long-term, something we call 'softer hard money' and we can provide that."
The company is also actively negotiating with lenders to service their loan portfolios and/or acquire loan pools.
West L.A.-based Eagle Group, through its operating units also provides capital advisory services and placement of institutional real estate investment capital, third-party loan servicing and property management, and commercial real estate brokerage services. Prior to founding Eagle Group in 2000 Good was a real estate transactional attorney with Troy & Gould and then Kulik, Gottesman & Mouton, where he represented real estate investment trusts, publicly traded real estate companies, and high net worth individuals.

Prayer Room Vastu
The Prayer (Pooja room) should be preferably in the east, north or north-east corner of the house. The prayer room can built in the north-west corner for the people who desire to do meditation. The Pooja room can be planned near the kitchen also. The Pooja room should never be inside any of the bedrooms. The Idols of the Gods should be kept in the north-east portion of the Pooja room.
Vastu Tips
- The faces of god should not be covered with anything including garlands and flowers.
- If a lamp is placed in the Pooja room, it should always be switched on only while doing Pooja or prayers.
- The materials and things related to Pooja room only should be kept in the room.
- One should never use Pooja room for any other purpose like store.
- Any item like food items, consumable like cosmetics, soaps, etc. should not be kept in the Pooja room. Pooja room should always be above the ground level and never in the basement.
- Pooja rooms should not be built below stair cases or its landings.
- Ensure that any toilet or bath room is not adjoining the Pooja room, and not even above or below the prayer room.
- Avoid keeping the heavy and higher than 6 inches of height of Idols of gods made of metals.
- In the Pooja room, however light weight figures and pictures can be placed instead.
- The doors of the prayer room should not close or open automatically. A spring or door-closer should not be fixed on this door.
- Idols should not be kept facing each other.
- Broken idols and torn pictures should not be kept in the prayer room.
- An almirahs or show-case can be placed in the southern or western wall, but it should be lower than idols.
- Keep the Pooja room absolutely clean.
- If you plan to have your prayer room or a prayer almirahs in the kitchen, have your deity in the west wall of the kitchen, facing east.
- Never have the prayer area in the bedroom.

Balloons of Doom: Three Reasons Why We're Afraid of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Superstorms. Financial collapse. Plague. As if we needed one more thing to perserverate on, here comes the annual Thanksgiving Day spectacular.
Oh, sure, everybody loves a parade, what with the marching bands, the Radio City Rockettes and Al Roker's deleriously happy mugging with newly-minted sitcom stars. But there's also a dark shadow over all that joyful autumn revelry - a dark shadow cast by gigantic character balloons.

It sounds silly, but as a pop-culture immersed fan-boy, I've been fed a steady diet of propaganda that positions festive, whimsical inflatables as the ultimate villian and suggests that our demise might only be a helium tank away. But, as Levar Burton once said, you don't have to take my word for it. See how the evidence stacks up and decide for yourself below:
Exhibit A: 99 Luftballons

You know the story. Nena's 1983 pop-hit/protest song tells a story of paranoia, nuclear holocaust and a stray balloon bouquet. The moral? The death of millions, when put to new-wave music is immensely dance-able.
Exhibit B: IT
As if clowns (and really, Tim Curry in general) weren't creepy enough, this Stephen King adaptation forever ruined celebratory balloon drops.
The other muderous clown, as played by Jack Nicholson, planned to do his dirty work via massive inflatables filled with poison gas. Not only was his scheme immoral, but flying balloons that size at night had to be in violation of at least 6 Gotham City ordinances.
BONUS: Exhibit D: The Real Ghostbusters: The Revenge of Murray the Mantis
In this Thanksgiving themed episode, a giant character balloon in the holiday parade is possessed by spirits from a nearby morgue (naturally) and becomes a monstrous insect bent on destruction. Chaos, havoc and a montage set to Ray Parker Junior music soon followed.

Directed By Robert Epstein
Premiering at the Castro Theatre in 1984, The Times of Harvey Milk chronicles the political career of Harvey Milk, San Francisco's first openly gay elected official, and his rise from a neighborhood activist to a symbol of gay political achievement, through to his assassination in November 1978. Winning an Oscar for Best Documentary Film, international acclaim, selection into the National Film Registry in Library of Congress, the documentary later became inspiration for Gus Van Sant's 2008 Oscar-winning biopic, Milk.

Peter Gallotta
My name is Peter Gallotta and I am the current Co-President of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club and have served on the Executive Board of the Club since 2012, first as the Recorder and then as the Vice President of Internal Affairs. I am proud to be a part of a Club that stands for social and economic justice, that believes in working at the intersections of identity and issues, and that builds queer progressive power and leadership in San Francisco. As Co-President, I have worked with the Executive Board and membership to advocate for #CleanPowerSF, the Mission moratorium, greater regulation of short term rentals and AirBnb, and building more affordable housing. We've also worked together to hold the San Francisco Pride Board and SFPD accountable, engage and recruit new members, and implement our 2015 political program which helped get Aaron Peskin elected to the Board of Supervisors. 2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the Club and a pivotal year in electoral politics. With your support, I am committed to ensuring that 2016 yields a strong, inclusive, and effective Harvey Milk Club that will do the work that needs to be done to continue to elect progressive leaders and keep San Francisco a city for all of us. When not wearing my Harvey Milk Club t-shirt, you can likely find me fighting for improved transit along the Geary corridor or helping to address hunger in my neighborhood of seven years, the Tenderloin, with Mama G's Thanksgiving Street Dinner, or in line for a cup of coffee! Contact me!
Vice President of Political Affairs
Lee Hepner
My name is Lee Hepner, and I'm looking forward to my fourth year of service on the board of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club. I'm honored to be nominated for VP of Political Affairs. I intend to use our Political Action Committee as a forum for in-depth and dynamic conversations around core issues to the club and hope to oversee an endorsement process that is thoroughly transparent, accessible, and without conflicts of interest. I currently serve as a Legislative Aide to San Francisco District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin. Previously, I worked as a civil litigation attorney handling police misconduct, free speech, unlawful termination and landlord-tenant cases. Contact me!
Vice President of External Affairs
Paulina Maldonado
My name is Paulina Maldonado and I am running for Vice President of External Affairs. I am thrilled at the prospect of serving on the executive board again this year to make sure we make 2016 the comeback year for progressive politics in San Francisco. My passion lies in Criminal Justice reform. In 2010 I graduated from California State University, Fresno and earned my degree in Criminology, with an emphasis in Law Enforcement. Through a partnership with CSU Fresno and the Fresno Police Department, I also graduated from the police academy (P.O.S.T). After college, I worked alongside newly elected Honorable Daniel A. Flores in his criminal defense practice largely serving the Spanish-speaking community for four and a half years. In 2014, I managed his successful campaign for San Francisco Superior Court Judge. I currently serve as the Co-President of the Latinx Young Democrats of San Francisco. By day, I'm a paralegal at a private criminal defense firm.
Vice President of Internal Affairs
Cynthia Crews
When I was 16, I first became an activist fighting against environmental pollution in a town home to three superfund sites. I'm excited to run for the office of Vice-President for Internal Affairs after being a Milk Club member for five years. My activism has focused on partnering with organizations that seek to empower women, people of color, LGBTQ communities, and persons with disabilities. I am proud to support progressive legislation and candidates, to work on grassroots campaigns, and to take it to the streets with direct action. For the past five years, I've served on the Steering Committee of The League of Pissed Off Voters, focusing on voter education, participation, and advocacy. I serve as Vice Chair of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) in the public seat where we're pushing CleanPowerSF over the finish line. When I'm not fighting the good fight, I work as a Project Manager in the healthcare industry, focusing on communications for compliance and ethics. With a passion for politics that keeps me busy, I still find time to shake a tail feather and celebrate this amazing city I've called home for 15 years. Contact me!

I began my community and youth organizing work as a young queer in Portland, Oregon and since moving to the Bay Area 11 years ago, I've worked in tenant advocacy, as an outreach worker with homeless queer youth, in youth HIV-prevention research, and now (youth-focused) policy advocacy. I do work with a national anti-racist political education organization and do research and other support work for a grassroots, veteran-led anti-war organization. My partner teaches at MHS and we parent a kid together. I'm running for the Milk Club Board because I want to continue to contribute to and grow our queer progressive movement in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. I am passionate about leadership and member development, and since beginning to staff a commission three years ago, I've become somewhat of a nerd for procedure, ie bylaws, etc.

Angel VanStark
My name is Angel VanStark, and I'm a young, queer POC who has formerly experienced homelessness. Currently, I work for a tech company (*sorry*), serve as a board of directors for the LGBT Center of San Francisco, and as a board member for the company LGBT resource group pushing more inclusive internal projects and recruiting efforts. I'm running for Recorder, because I think that the role would be perfect for me to get to know everyone and get my leadership chops more developed in a PAC world to later on be able to take on more involved roles when I'm more financially secure; I'm also hoping that by being a part of the internal team, I can bring some engagement and recruiting strategies that are aimed towards helping our progressive movement grow and hold high levels of retention.

Political Action Committee Letter Regarding the Shooting of Mario Woods
January 13, 2016
Dear San Francisco Police Commission, Police Chief Greg Suhr, Mayor Ed Lee, the Police Officers Association, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors:
We write to you today to demand justice for Mario Woods and the countless individuals who have been unjustly terrorized and murdered by the SFPD. We stand in solidarity with the family of Mario Woods and the Justice For Mario Woods Coalition in demanding the following actions be taken immediately:
- Release of a public apology to Gwendolyn Woods;
- Payment by the SFPD and the City and County of San Francisco for the funeral of Mario Woods;
- Termination of Police Chief Greg Suhr
- An independent Federal and External investigation into the murder
San Francisco has been a well-known leader in many social justice causes. Sadly, however, our Police Department has lagged behind implementing 21st Century Policing strategies to ensure the protection and safety of our most marginalised, vulnerable communities. Despite the fact that SFPD has adopted Community Policing strategies in its General Orders (Section 1.08 - Community Policing), these policies have no points of accountability or enforcement. Additionally, Police Chief Greg Suhr and other leadership have continued to execute policies and support personnel that allow racism, homophobia, transphobia, and homeless persecution to proliferate within the force, instead of challenging the Board of Supervisors to vote in favor of protecting all citizens of San Francisco, and not just the most elite.
Far too many black and brown folks, people with mental and physical disabilities, and members of the LGBT community and homeless residents have suffered at the hands of the SFPD. This is not unique to San Francisco. This is a national endemic. But we refuse to let this happen here. Current leadership has proven that it either cannot or will not take action to stop the excessive use of force, abuse of power, and bigotry that is causing unjust pain and suffering in our communities. It is clear that current training and practices being deployed by the San Francisco Police Department are part of the problem, and that better solutions like anti-oppression training, de-escalation and conflict mediation are necessary.
The Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club Political Action Committee demands immediate actions be taken to ensure justice for the victims of police brutality, including Mario Woods and Alex Nieto, and for the Police Commission to aggressively pursue measures that ensure accountability, transparency and the implementation of effective Community Policing best practices.

SALT LAKE CITY — The fiscal cliff debacle is but the latest example of the leadership void in Washington, D.C., Utah Gov. Herbert said Tuesday, the first day of the new year.
"There's just an absence, a void of leadership back in Washington,. D.C. at a very critical time in our nation's history," Herbert said.
Congressional inaction will have profound consequences, he said.
"I just hope the people in Washington understand that this is more than high-stakes poker. This does impact families and individuals. It impacts the economy. It impacts our future here in a dramatic way," Herbert said, laying blame at the foot of the president.
"Where's the President? President Obama's got to step up and say 'I will broker the deal' and grab both sides to the table and say 'You're all going to have to give up something.'"
Beyond the tax implications for individuals and the possible funding complications for state governments attempting to assemble their respective budgets, Herbert said the inaction by Congress is also problematic because of the negative signals it sends to the private sector and the stock market.
"There's estimations there's $2 trillion of capital sitting on the sidelines not willing to engage because of uncertainty. And that's coming out of Washington, D.C. It's void of leadership and again, there's probably blame to go around on all sides. In the House and in the Senate and the Senate is so dysfunctional that Mitch McConnell has had to negotiate with the vice president. He can't even negotiate with his cohort in the Senate, Harry Reid," he said.
Despite these events, Herbert said he is optimistic about Utah's economy and future, given its relatively low unemployment rate, economic growth and solid government management practices. "In fact, in comparison, we'll probably become an even more desireable place for businesses to locate because Utah will become the island of tranquility in the sea of chaos that's being created around the country, particularly emanating out of Washington, D.C."
Herbert said he hopes leaders will rise up and broker a compromise. "Compromise is not a dirty word," he said.
It is equally important to take actions that bring certainty to the marketplace, he said. "If they will do that, our future and our future in America will become brighter."

The man tapped two years ago as bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta is suing the church over its decision to cancel his ordination to that post.
According to the Episcopal News Service, the Rev. Robert Trache has filed suit in federal court against the church, Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold and Clay Matthews, executive director of the Office of Pastoral Development for the House of Bishops.
The suit charges undue interference with the Diocese of Atlanta's decision to terminate his contract to serve as bishop of Atlanta. Trache's ordination was canceled eight days before it was scheduled, with diocesan officials citing ''a lack of disclosure in personal and family matters" as the basis of their decision.
Trache, former rector of a Virginia church, is seeking $10 million in compensation for ''severe emotional, social and economic distress."
Following the decision not to consecrate Trache, the Diocese of Atlanta resumed its search for a bishop to replace the Right Rev. Frank Allan, who retired from the post.
In July of this year, the Right Rev. J. Neil Alexander was ordained bishop for the Diocese of Atlanta, which covers the northern half of the state.
Jews protest park
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Area Jewish leaders who protested February's opening of the Holy Land Experience theme park are now upset that it plans to lure tourists through a display of biblical manuscripts.
Next summer, Holy Land will open a $9.5 million, 17,000-square-foot museum featuring such items as a 4th century Bible from Egypt, an original 1611 King James Bible and numerous illuminated manuscripts.
The collection was owned by the late Protestant businessman Robert D. Van Kampen, who in 1994 built an underground ''Scriptorium" for it near the family compound in Grand Haven, Mich.
A Van Kampen Foundation spokesman said after Van Kampen died the family decided his collection should have ''greater exposure."
Holy Land President Marvin Rosenthal, a convert from Judaism to Christianity, said ''any city in America would want to have this collection.''
But Rabbi Daniel Wolpe, president of the Greater Orlando Board of Rabbis, protested that ''a Torah should not be a display item." Jewish leaders have also opposed the park itself, saying profits might be funneled to its parent organization, a mission to convert Jews.
Ten Commandments
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt plans a second try at getting Congress to pass a law letting states display the Ten Commandments in public buildings.
An identical bill passed the House overwhelmingly in 1999 but died in the Senate.
The Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State immediately called the proposal from Aderholt, R-Ala., ''reckless and radical.''
Alabama's chief justice, Roy Moore, recently placed a monument including the commandments in the lobby of the state Judicial Building. A state lawsuit over display of the commandments in his county courtroom prior to his election as chief justice ended without a final ruling on legality.
New conservatives
LENOIR, N.C. (AP) -- The conservative Confessing Church Movement said it has won support from a tenth of the membership of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) since its inception in March.
The movement reported 266,926 Presbyterians in 801 congregations and 44 states have affiliated with the Confessing Church, compared with the denomination's nationwide active membership of 2.56 million.
The movement calls on Presbyterians to insist that Jesus Christ alone is the way to salvation, that the Bible alone is the infallible rule of faith and life and that male-female marriage is the only place for sexual activity. It is being promoted by the Presbyterian Lay Committee, based in Lenoir.
Faith-healing death
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) -- The parents of a diabetic 12-year-old pleaded guilty to felony child abuse for failing on religious grounds to seek medical assistance for the girl, who died.
In a deal with prosecutors, Randy and Colleen Bates pleaded guilty to criminally negligent child abuse in Mesa County District Court in the Feb. 6 death of 13-year-old daughter Amanda. Prosecutors planned to recommend probation for the couple.
The Bateses, who have 12 other children, belong to the General Assembly Church of the First Born, which prosecutors say opposes medical treatment. Their plea was not an acknowledgment that they committed a crime, they said.
Amanda was the 12th known child of First Born parents in Colorado to die or be stillborn after receiving no medical care.
After Amanda's death, the state legislature removed a religious exemption from felony child-abuse statutes.
Hindu pilgrimage
NORWALK, Calif. (AP) -- A world-straddling Hindu pilgrimage ended its U.S. portion Sunday with about 2,000 people attending events at Sanatan Dharm Mandir Temple, organizers said.
A procession that included chants, devotional music and the swamis dropping flower petals preceded talks in which leaders spoke of religious diversity and finding solace, and the world as one family, said spokesman Beata Gutman.
The pilgrimage began in India on Aug. 15, stopped in Washington, Miami, Atlanta and Chicago, and now heads for Britain.
The 2001 World Christian Encyclopedia reports Hinduism, the world's third-largest religion, has 1 million U.S. followers.
Teen self-esteem
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Eighth-graders who participate in religious activities have higher self-esteem than those who do not, said a study reported at an American Psychological Association convention.
A 1999 survey of 1,261 youths, conducted by the University of Michigan Survey Research Center, was analyzed by Yong Dai and Rebecca Nolan of Louisiana State University and Qing Zeng of Wells College.
The results may indicate religious institutions teach youths how to have positive images of themselves, the authors said, and that younger teens' closeness with their families reinforces religious involvement.

The present invention relates to a tent construction used primarily under mountain weather conditions, as an optimum shelter for persons, such as two, and which can be readily carried by a mountaineer in a backpack. Specifically, the invention tent sets very high, and sometimes new, standards of comfort, convenience, reliability, and lightness in mountaineering and hiking tents carried in a backpack.
The invention tent comprises an outer nonporous layer to eliminate penetration therethrough of rain and moisture. An inner porous layer is provided and disposed in spaced relation to the outer layer providing an air space between the two layers from 1 to 4 inches thick and which air space extends the full length of the tent. The ends of this air space are closed by semiannular shaped end members which extend radially inwardly and angularly from the outer tent layer to the inner porous tent layer. This air space chamber, between the inner and outer tent layers, functions to allow warm, moisture-laden air to rise from within the tent, through the inner porous tent layer and thence longitudinally through the air chamber and thence outwardly through vents in the semiannular end members. Air so leaving the tent is displaced by fresh air drawn from the floor level of the tent, passing around the occupants in the tent, warmed thereby and by possible burning candles in the tent, thence through the inner tent layer, thence through the enclosed air space chamber, and thence out the end portions of the tent. Thus, a chimneylike action takes place and an air circulation in the tent, which promotes an efficient air flow and thus maintains a low, as possible, humidity level in the tent. The insulation value, resulting from the air circulation promoted by the heat of human bodies and at times augmented by burning candles in the tent, is of substantial significance in that minimum temperatures within my tent often show a temperature increase in excess of 10�F. over temperatures existing outside my tent.
Compression support means for the tent comprise a plurality of arched rafters in the form of demountable, substantially, semicircular rods which are preferably formed of fiber glass and which rods are formed of a plurality of relatively short pieces slidably interconnected to form two rod units. These two rod units are interconnected by a sleeve slidably mounted on one unit and which sleeve slidably receives an end portion of another unit. The plurality of substantially semicircular rods are spaced apart and alined substantially parallel to each other and the semicircular rod units progressively decrease in diameter in a longitudinal direction of the tent from the entrance end portion of the tent to the other end portion thereof. The inner tent layer is suspendedly supported by the outer tent layer by strips of porous netting material which do not interfere with air circulation through the air chamber between the inner and and outer tent layers.
At the end portions of the tent, the outer tent layer is under tension by forces at each end thereof, each of which is directed in an opposite and outward direction. All of the forces holding the tent in place are tension forces except the compression forces which act through the tent rod units. All of the heat that is generated in the tent is generated by the human occupants thereof or by the burning of a candle or the like.
By having the tent taper from a door end thereof, both in height and width and with only sufficient space for two persons and gear to be stashed away, minimum air space obtains, so that human body heat and heat from candles are involved in a limited space so that such heat factors will be effective. Additional guy lines are provided to take care of side pressures resulting from wind blowing in a direction transverse of the longitudinal axis of the tent.
In a summary way, the present invention contemplates an outer nonporous layer, a spaced inner porous layer, a tent floor, and substantially semiannular shaped end members, which extend radially inwardly and angularly between the tent layers. A plurality of arched rafters in the form of demountable half circular hoops of diameters decreasing in size from the front to the rear of the tent provide compression support for the tent. These hoops are made of rather small sections which can be readily joined together to form relatively large semicircular hoops so that when the hoops are disassembled the parts take up a minimum of space. The space between the tent layers provides an air passage and air which has a temperature somewhat increased by the occupants of the tent and possibly by lit candles therein, rises in the tent, passes through the inner porous tent layer, passes lengthwise of the air passageway between the tent layers and thence out vents or louvers provided in the semiannular end members. The hoops provide a support for compression forces utilized in supporting the tent and all other support for the tent is in the nature of tension forces which are disposed in opposite directions at opposite ends and sides of the tent.
The features, advantages, and objects of my invention which are explicit and implicit in the foregoing will become apparent and more fully understood from the following detailed description of the invention made in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of my invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the structure of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken substantially on broken line 4--4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a somewhat schematic elevational view illustrating forces involved in support of my tent;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the structure of FIG. 5, taken just above the floor level therein;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 5, with parts broken away, of a modified form of my invention;
FIG. 8 is a fragmentary view showing a manner of sewing pieces of material together to form an outer tent layer of my invention;
FIG. 9 is a view, on a smaller scale, showing a vestibule added at the front end portion of a tent of my invention;
FIG. 10 is an enlarged fragmentary view of structure shown in FIG. 9;
FIG. 11 is a view showing two tents of my invention arranged with the head portions abutting and a vestibule arranged in such area;
FIG. 12 is a view showing one of the rods used in my invention in assembled and elongated position;
FIG. 13 is a view of the rod structure of FIG. 12 in arced position;
FIG. 14 shows the structure of FIG. 12, with the tubular sections of the rod in collapsed position for storage;
FIG. 15 is a fragmentary view, on a larger scale, illustrating the center juncture of the rod structure of FIG. 12, when in extended position;
FIG. 16 is a view of the structure of FIG. 15 but with the tubular sections of the rod collapsed and in a position for storage;
FIG. 17 is a fragmentary view, on a larger scale, showing the joint between other tubular sections of the rod in assembled position; and
FIG. 18 is a view of the structure of FIG. 17 but with the tubular sections of the rod collapsed and in a position for storage.
Referring to FIGs. 12 to 18 of the drawings, the preferred form of rods 19 employed in my invention are shown. Tubular sections 20 of rods 19 are of a length for convenient packing and an elastic cord 22 is threaded throughout the length of a plurality of sections 20, such as six or eight thereof. Knots 24 are disposed at the ends of the elastic cord 22. The tubular sections 20 are composed of a light, substantially rigid, weather resistant material, such as fiberglass. The elastic cord 22 is formed of weather and abrasive resistant material, such as a rubber core covered with a woven nylon sheath. A weather resistant metal coupling 26 has one end portion fixedly connected with a tubular section 20 and slidably connected with the next adjacent tubular section 20. At the center connection, one abutting tubular section 20 is permanently covered with a weather resistant metal tube 28, having a shoulder 29 thereon, and a coupling sleeve 30 slidably moves in one direction to couple the center tubular sections 20 together or to release them from each other, the shoulder 29 arresting motion of the sleeve 30 in one direction. The structure shown provides for a rod 19 which may be arced, as shown detached in FIG. 13, (after being formed into a continuous rod) and with diameters of the semicircular rods formed thereby, as used in my tent, having diameters in the range of approximately 3 to 7 to form arched rafters. The rod 19 just described will be later related to the pockets provided in the tent structure in which said rod is used in my invention.
The outer tent layer 31 is fabricated from nonporous material, such as a nylon fabric treated to prevent rain and water penetration therethrough. The material is cut in accordance with the pattern shown in FIG. 8 of the drawings and the edges 32 and 34 sewn together to form seams 36 of FIG. 1. Thus, the said seams 36 (juncture between edges 32 and 34) extend longitudinally of the final tent as indicated in FIG. 1 of the drawings. There are, preferably, two seams 36 and three longitudinally extending panels to form the outer, nonporous tent layer 31. One of the seams 36 is shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings and the other seam will be symmetrically disposed in the corresponding portion of the side of the tent which is in the background in FIG. 1 of the drawings. By such cutting and sewing of material, the surface of the final outer tent layer 31, when stretched to final position, compriises a plurality of pieces of material joined at a plurality of concave edge portions and which, when under tension, lie in a saddle shaped contour.
Rod-receiving pockets 38 are disposed in the outer tent layer at the outer periphery thereof. These pockets 38 are formed by first forming a loop in the material and then stitching the material together adjacent the edges of the loop to form such a loop and retain the same. The pockets 38 are of a size to slidably receive the rods 19. An opening 40 is provided at the top of each pocket 38 so that a rod 19 can be inserted in each pocket with the outer end portion of the rods being inserted simultaneously into opposite side portions of the same pocket.
A floor 42 has upturned end portions 44 (FIGs. 1, 2 and 3) and upturned side portions 46 (FIGS. 1 and 4). The material employed in forming floor 42 is a fabric treated to withstand weather and moisture conditions prevailing at ground level in all types of weather, such as nylon fabric treated to prevent rain and weather penetration and particularly at ground level. The said upturned end portions 44 and upturned side portions 46 are connected with the outer tent layer 31 through rod pocket feet 48. Through this construction, the upturned longitudinally extending side edge portions 46 and upturned crosswise extending portions 44 are formed of a material suitable for close position to the ground. Thus, when a flexible rod of the type illustrated in FIG. 12 is inserted in each of the rod-receiving pockets 38, the said rods will assume a substantially semicircular shape (of FIG. 13) and the rods disposed in the four pockets illustrated in FIG. 1 will illustrate a plurality of spaced, substantially, semicircular rods disposed in, substantially, parallel, spaced relation to each other and symmetrically disposed about a common longitudinal axis.
Some of the pockets 38, as the centrally disposed ones, carry guy line loops 52 at an upper elevation thereon. The end pockets 38 also carry guy line loops, as loops 53, and preferably at a lower elevation. Thus, the central and end portions, of the tent, at opposite sides, can be secured by guy lines to the ground to counter sidewise movement of the tent in response to wind pressures. Also, any tendency of the tent to lift, in response to air being compressed below the tent floor 42, is resisted by the said guy lines secured to the tent guy loops 52 and 53.
Tension flaps 54 and 56 may be a continuation of the outer tent layer 31 and are disposed, respectively, at the front and rear ends of the tent. Suitable guy lines 58 are connected with said flaps 54 and 56, and tension is exerted in opposite directions on said guy lines 58. Thus, at this stage of the description, the rods 19, comprising tubular sections 20, are held in a semicircular position by the outer tent layer 31 and floor 42 and associate parts. Such rods 19 provide a compression resisting member to support the tent against such forces. The guy lines 58 provide tension in opposite directions endwise of the tent to resist tension forces in such direction and sidewise tension is provided on the tent through the guy lines (not shown) connected with the guy line loops 52, 53. As the guy lines described, all extend angularly outwardly and downwardly from the tent, such guy lines also resist any pressure tending to lift the tent off the ground.
The porous inner tent layer 60 is suspendedly supported by the outer tent layer 31 and may be a layer provided by an uncoated nylon fabric. Mesh netting strips 62 (see FIGS. 1 and 4) extend radially inwardly from the outer tent layer 31 and are of an open mesh, eliminating any air flow impedance in the passageway 63 between layers 31 and 60. The inner ends of strips 62 connect with the inner tent layer 60 and such strips 62 support the inner tent layer at such area. At the bottoms of passageways 63 (see FIG. 4) snow baffle strips 61 connect between the outer tent layer 31 and the inner tent layer 60. These baffle strips 61 angle downwardly and outwardly and the stitching seams between them and the outer tent layer 31 are intermittent so that any ice which may be formed in passageway 63 may be removed by shaking the tent layers to loosen the ice and then allowing the ice to fall and exit through the breaks in the sewing seam line provided by the intermittent sewing. The snow baffle strip 61 deters snow from being blown upward and into passageway 63. Substantially semiannular shaped end members 64 are disposed at each end of the tent. The forces of parts suspending the inner tent layer 60 from the outer tent layer 31 are illustrated in the force disagram of FIG. 5. The tension forces exerted by the guy lines 58 in opposite directions longitudinally of the tent are illustrated by arrows 66. The compression forces on the semicircular rods 19 (including rod sections 20) are illustrated by the arrows 68. The end members 64 are of such a shape and location that they become taut and support the outer tent layer 31 and the inner tent layer 60 in such taut position because of the various forces involved and particularly the forces as indicated by the arrows 66 and 68.
The end members 64 (see also FIG. 1) are disposed generally radially and also angularly inwardly, longitudinally considered of the tent. The forces in the direction of the arrows 66 represent the force involved in guy lines 58, tension flaps 54 and 56 and the outer and inner tent layers 31 and 60. The forces resisted by the tubular rods 19 are represented by arrow line 68. Thus, all forces involved in maintaining the tent erect are tension forces except the forces involved in connection with the load carried by rods 19.
As an alternate construction of semiannular end members 64, which extend, in part, inwardly longitudinally considered of the text, I may employ semiannular end members 70 (see FIG. 7) which extend, in part, outwardly longitudinally considered of the tent. Such members 70 extend generally radially as do the members 64. The remaining force lines and parts in connection with FIG. 7 may be the same as those of FIG. 5 and hence, are given the same numbers and the description thereof is incorporated by reference and without repetition of description.
In operation, relatively warmer and moisture laden air rises in the tent and passes through inner tent layer 60 and travels lengthwise of passageway 63 and normally toward the end members 64 or 70 at the front end portion of the tent and thence out breather openings 71 in said end members. Wind conditions may cause venting of air from passageway 63 out breather openings 71 in the end members 64 or 70 at the rear end of the tent. In any event, heat generated in the tent (as by human breathing or by the burning of a candle) causes air to rise upwardly in the tent, pass through the porous inner tent layer 60, thence longitudinally in the passageway 63 (between inner layer 60 and outer layer 31), and thence exiting through breather openings 71 in the end members 64 or 70.
Preferably, mosquito nettings 72 and 74 are employed at the front and rear door opening of the tent and they are shown as being rolled up and out of the way in FIG. 1 of the drawings. Zipper means 75 detachably secures each of the mosquito nettings to a semicircular end member 64 and one-half of such zipper means is shown by the dotted lines 75 in FIG. 2 of the drawings.
In FIG. 1, a front door 78 is detachably secured to one of the semiannular end members 64 and preferably by means of a zipper 76, part of which is carried by an end member 64 and the other part of which is carried by the front door 78 (FIG. 1). The rear door is a counterpart of the front door and is secured to the rear end member 64 and by a zipper, which is also numbered 76. Thus, the mosquito nettings can be zipped in place or unzipped and rolled out of the way, all of which is illustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings. Also, either the front door or the rear door may be secured wholely in place as a closed door or can be opened to any desired degree, such as being partially opened as illustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings.
Preferably, the semiannular end member 64 at the front end of the tent (see FIG. 10) also carried one-half of a zipper 80 and a mating half 84 of a zipper is carried by a waterproof tent layer 82 providing an optional vestibule disposed at the front door area of a tent and disposed under tension flaps 54 and guy lines 58.
Also, two tents may be arranged with their front door portions adjacent as illustrated in FIG. 11 of the drawings. Each of the tents at the front door area has its semiannular end member 64 provided with the zipper portion 80 which was previously described for use in connection with the vestibule of FIG. 10. This same zipper portion 80 disposed at the front end portions of two tents disposed in the positions illustrated in FIG. 11 of the drawings may be employed in connection with zipper portions which are mated with zipper portions 80. These zipper portions 86 are carried by both ends of a waterproofed tent layer 88 so that the area between the front end portions of two tents abutting, as illustrated in FIG. 11 of the drawings, may be a covered, joining area between the front end portions of two tents.
The area under the tent layer 88 of FIG. 11 or that under the tent layer 82 of FIG. 9 may be used as a cooking area or as a storage area and when used as a cooking area, suitable vents through the tent layer will be provided for the emitting gases.
In the construction of FIG. 9 of the drawings, a vestibule employing tent layer 82 was shown and described. Such a vestibule further provides for isolating the front door 78 and its environs from the weather. Where extremely severe weather conditions obtain and the vestibule is employed for such reason, then a tunnel entrance of conventional design may be used at the rear door area of the tent. The size and proportions of the parts of this tent at such area are very suitably endowed for the utilizing of a tunnel entrance to the tent at such area.
From the foregoing, it will now be obvious that I have provided a tent comprising a plurality of arched rafters in the form of substantially, semicircular rods 19 disposed in substantially, parallel, spaced relation to each other and symmetrically disposed about the common longitudinal axis of a tent. An outer, nonporous tent layer 31 is supported by the rods 19 disposed in semicircular positions. The rods 19 are of knock-down construction and can be assembled into continuous rods as indicated in connection with FIGS. 12 to 18 of the drawings and the rods are inserted in place in the outer tent layer 31 through openings 40. Next, a porous inner tent layer 60 is provided and this inner tent layer 60 is supendedly supported from the outer tent layer 31 and with the inner tent layer 60 positioned relatively close to the outer tent layer and providing an air passageway between the tent layers. At the ends of the passageways and as a part of the means for supporting the inner tent layer 60 from the outer tent layer 31, I have provided nonporous, substantially semiannular shaped end members shown in FIG. 5 as members 64 or their alternates which are shown in FIG. 7, namely, semiannular end members 70. These end members 64 or 70 extend radially and angularly between the outer tent layer 31 and the inner tent layer 60. In one instance (FIG. 5), the members 64 extend inward angularly while in FIG. 7, the same extend outwardly (inwardly and outwardly both being considered in the longitudinal direction of the tent). The members 64 and 70 are provided with breather openings 71. The means for holding the lower end portions of the end members 64 or 70 downwardly constitutes the side portions of the tent and means to hold the same to the ground. Then I provide tensioning means operating in opposite directions which will include the tension flaps 54 and 56 on the opposite end portions of the tent and the guy lines 58 connected with the tension flaps 54 and 56.
Preferably, the layers of the outer tent layer 31 comprise a plurality of concave edge portions 32 and 34 (see FIG. 8) which are joined together along the concave edge portions and which when under tension lie in the saddle-shaped contour of the tent shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 and 6 of the drawings.
Preferably, the rods 19 which support the tent at spaced intervals are of progressively decreasing diameters so that the outer tent layer in the final tent has a tapered semicircular contour.
Preferably, the means for suspendedly supporting the inner tent layer 60 from the outer tent layer 31 includes mesh netting strips 62 to thus eliminate interference in the air passageway 63 between the outer tent layer 31 and the porous inner tent layer 60.
Also, preferably, the tension means at the end portions of the tent include tension flaps 54 and 56 which are an extension of the outer tent layer 31. These tension flaps 54 and 56 are preferably substantially triangular in shape and that the minimum number thereof on either end of the tent is four and at the front end of the tent such flaps may be five in number.
The semicircular rods 19 are formed of a resilient spring material and when secured may form semicircular configurations. The floor of the tent is provided as the securing means between the feet or lower end portions of the semicircular rods and thus when the rods are used to support the load, the rods are under tension and such tension is preserved through the use of the floor connecting between the feet end portions of the semicircular rod sections.
In order to provide a knock-down tent of a very compact size, preferably the rods 14 are formed of a plurality of interconnected pieces secured together by detachable connector means, such as the couplings 26, slide couplings 30, sleeves 28, and elastic cords 22. A coupling 26 is mounted on the end portion of one rod and is mounted for sliding reception on an adjacent end portion of a contiguous rod end portion. Slide couplings 30 are slidable on metal tubes 28 and detachably interconnect a two-piece rod 19 at the center thereof. A preferred material for forming the tubular sections 20 is hollow fiber glass.
Preferably, guy line loops 52 and 53 are carried by opposite sides of the tent to be connected by guy lines to counter the pressure of winds tending to move the outer tent sidewise and off the ground.
Also, the doors of this tent are preferably one-half a disc such as the shape of front door 78. The doors of this tent are connected by a zipper slide fastener.
A nonporous tent layer 82 is connected with one of the substantially semiannular end shaped members 64 or 70 and the tent layer 82 of the vestibule extends radially and longituginally and under the tension means comprising the tension flaps 54 at the head end of the tent or 56 at the back or rear end portion of the tent and under the guy lines 58 disposed at either the front or rear portion of the tent. This vestibule tent layer 82 is preferably connected by zipper means with the semiannular end members 64 or 70.
Obviously, changes may be made in the forms, dimensions, and arrangements of the parts of my invention without departing from the principles thereof, the above setting forth only preferred forms of embodiment.
