2) screw it down tight and if I need to I can use a hammer to tighten up the gap before/as I weld
I pretty much knew both of those (steps 1 & 2) just double checking
and to clarify #3)
3) .... I can do
very short
, hot welds? (cooling in between)
I dont have to do endless tack welds? like when I put on my lower front repair panels?
4) grind, smooth and pretty when done welding
And let me clarify my opinion on the butt welding. Of course butt welding would be the "best" way. Overlapping a half inch lip of the old firewall around the edge like I am suggesting would be the "bestest" way.
And yes very short little welds, a 1/4" at the most. And please be sure you LET IT COOL, not "cooling" it as you just described.
And remember when you weld you need to cut off the wire so each weld you are hitting the metal with a nice, new, sharp wire so the arc is started immediately so as not to waste heat, unwanted heat trying to start an arc. Hit it with that nice sharp wire and WHAM you are doing a little 1/4" weld in a second or two, literally a second or two at the most. Hit the underlying metal first right and then bring the arc over to the edge of the new firewall. When you are finishing this up and you are welding next to a previous weld you hit right on the underlying metal next to the weld then go up onto it and over to the new firewall.
If you want to tackle butt welding we can go over that in detail as well. The most important thing is of course a super tight fit with no gap. You can do that by trimming some more of the new firewall off, about a half inch or so. Then screwing it to the old firewall. Scribe around the edge with a sharp scribe so you get real close. Then cut the lip of the old one off at that line, on the INSIDE of that line so you can see the line and very carefully trim it down so you can just see the line, that would be close enough to start trial fitting the new firewall and filing or grinding it to fit to perfection.
But honestly, no one is going to be pulling your firewall insulation out and looking how you welded it as you are driving down the road with a smile on your face proud of a job well done.
But again, I do agree it is the best way to do it.

New roller coaster open at Casino Pier in Seaside Heights — video
The Hydrus has a 72-foot vertical lift and 97-degree drops.
The Hydrus has a 72-foot vertical lift and 97-degree drops.
New Jersey's Carnival and Amusement Safety Unit inspects every ride in the state at the beginning of the season.
There's a Superstorm on Casino Pier. No, not a tropical depression but a new amusement attraction that spins riders around and upside down while sitting in a circle.
If you're looking for information about Memorial Day (Monday, May 27th) 2013 at the beach and boardwalk of Seaside Heights, then check out this guide with details including a list of open businesses, beach hours, fees and live progress of the boardwalk reconstruction!
The leftovers of the Jet Star rollercoaster became a symbol of Sandy's distruction. Just a week before the unofficial start of summer at the Jersey Shore, the monstosity comes down.
On the same day workers began removing the Jet Star roller coaster from the Atlantic Ocean, Casino Pier officials in Seaside Heights announced a new amusement for summer 2013.
Here at the Jersey Shore, we have a tough skin and what do we do when a Superstorm nearly takes us out? We rebuild bigger and better. Casino Pier is doing just that and will be adding a brand new ride that looks awesome!
The Jersey Shore is at an important crossroad in the rebuilding process after Hurricane Sandy.
Last Wednesday marked 100 days since the storm...
As Restore the Shore efforts continue and Seaside continues to rebuild, missing pieces are still being found.
The image of the the Star Jet Roller coaster demolished and submerged.in the Atlantic is one that we'll never forget. But why didn't Seaside's pier survive when other area piers did. Here are some of the answers.

There's still plenty of room for innovation today, yet the openness fostering it may be eroding. While the Internet is more widely available and faster than ever, artificial barriers threaten to constrict its growth. Call it a mid-life crisis. A variety of factors are to blame. Spam and hacking attacks force network operators to erect security firewalls.
"There is more freedom for the typical Internet user to play, to communicate, to shop more opportunities than ever before," said Jonathan Zittrain, a law professor and co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. "On the worrisome side, there are some longer-term trends that are making it much more possible (for information) to be controlled."

On the language aspect - I dare not comment!!! This is America, isn't it?!
City sued:
teach cop Spanish
Attorney seeking over $1 million says officer
who assaulted Hispanic couldn't communicate
Posted: September 30, 2006
6:00 p.m. Eastern
© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
An attorney for a Hispanic man who was allegedly knocked to the ground and kicked by a police officer is seeking over $1 million dollars for his client, arguing that the city's failure to teach law enforcement officers "fundamental Spanish" is the reason excessive force was used.
According to the suit filed in a Hunt County, Texas, district court on Wednesday, Jose Lopez was assaulted at a football game in 2004 by a Royse City police officer who allegedly knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the knee and face while wearing steel-toed boots.
Domingo Garcia
Dallas attorney Domingo Garcia argues in his filing that the city was negligent for not monitoring and training the unnamed officer – specifically, for not training him to speak Spanish "in order to properly communicate with Spanish-speaking persons."
Chief Tom Shelton told the Greenville Herald-Banner he was unable to discuss the specifics of the alleged incident but that the lawsuit was without merit and that he was standing behind the officer.
"There's really not going to be much to it," he said. "To me, it is pretty much a frivolous lawsuit."
"I feel very confident the officer did everything he was supposed to do and he was supported by several witnesses," Shelton added.

Compatibility of Nav system
Anyone know if the nav system and radio/monitor from a 2003 X5 would fit and work in a 2001 E38? I think the nav is MKIV but not sure if the monitor portion is compatible. Thanks in advance!
If screen aspect ratio is the same and they are both the same colour type then probably yes. Problem could be differently wired plugs - same functions but on different pin numbers. Check out those B 4 you risk plugging it in.
+1 the monitor. These are often advertised as fitting a variety of vehicles, but UK X5 monitors do not fit UK E38! Other market monitors are all left hand drive so will physcially fit L/H e38. The Mk IV nav will work fine-simple plug n play, nothing else needed.
Depends on where you at.. over here the x5 and 5 series radios and navs well fit in a e38... also a range rovers too.. check 5 series is 95-01 and x5 its 97-01 and range is 95-01. i think **** i got it written down. i called a bmw dealer here.. they told me plug in plug. but u will have to go to them to get the codes put in so it will all work right... im going aftermarket
Exchange of monitor and/or nav does not require re-coding
the amp is what needs to be coded...the e38/e39/e53 all use the same amp, but it is coded based on the equipped options & parameters of each vehicle. A used amp from an e39 put into an e38 or e53 will work, but the sound will be muddled because it is set-up for the interior dynamics of the 5 series...not the 7 or X5.
Thanks to everyone for the input

Howdy everyone. I have a question for those of you that carry snub-nose revolvers in your pocket. Currently I carry a Keltec P3AT in my pocket. I love the concealability of this slimline pistol. However, I am having some big issues with the gun and it is going back to the factory. As everyone knows, revolvers are about as reliable as you can get. I am considering getting a Taurus or SW for pocket carry. The question I have is regarding the diameter of the cylinder and how much it bulges in your pocket, if it does.
Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks abunch.

"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I have both and IMHO the SW snub 38s I have are considerably bulkier and heavier. This may or may not make much difference ... depending how loose your pants and your basic body shape.
I you do not have a waist etc.
Check it out in your nearest gun store.
Not much consulation I know but my P3 has gone over 900 rounds with only a fluff and buff and limited to 50 rounds before clean and lube. 0 glitches. Hope yours is fixed by KT .. they are nifty little inexpensive handguns.

I carry a S/W 638 airweight in a Don Hume Pocket holster. Generally, it works very well. The only issue is the shape of the pocket. If the pocket is rounded in sort of a half moon shape, the gun comes out and the holster stays put. The holster hook catches on the pocket for a perfect draw. On the other hand, if the pocket is straight, there is a tendency for the holster and gun to come out together.
"A big mouth don't make a big man." - John Wayne The Cowboys
My P3AT has died altogether and needs to be sent back to the factory. I normally now carry a S&W Airweight 38 sp +P in a size 3 Uncle Mikes Sidekick pocket holster. I am a small person 5'7" and weigh about 160 . I usually wear slacks and a shirt, so it is easier for me to pocket carry. I will carry the snub in my right front pocket with my cell phone in the same pocket, resting just below the trigger guard (I have a small cell phone and it breaks up any possible printing). You can tell I have something in my pocket but can't tell what it is. It is comfortable, easy to get to (except in a car with a seat belt on), and works in any pants I have. I don't expect to "quick draw" with it so I am very alert as to what is happening around me. If I am concerned about something, I will have the gun in my hand in my pocket ready to be pulled out if necessary. I have a PPK that I used to pocket carry, but it is substantially heavier than my snubby and less comfortable in my pocket. It is so easy to grab off my night stand and put in my pocket. If the snubby wasn't so easy, there would be many times I would not carry anything (not good).

Inside the waistband at 1:00... You cant go wrong.
I carry the Taurus M-85 Ultralight and love it. The bulge doesnt really show that much in the slim chance I pocket carry (maybe 3 times a year). A pocket holster will cover it if youre concerned though.
I carry a S&W 642 in a Mika pocket holster all day in perfect comfort. It does not print and the holster stays in the pocket when the gun is drawn. I wear both cargo and docker type pants and shorts with no problem. I can't say about jeans because I don't wear them.
"It does not do to leave a dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."

A S&W J-frame is definitely a great choice, that will take a little bit more work to conceal comfortably. With the P3AT you can wear tight pants, where with the J-frame you will need to wear a little looser pants.
Check it out for quality reasonably priced leather and kydex Pocket, IWB and OWB Holsters......
Having a P3AT and several snubbies, an alloy snubby is about double in every respect: size, weight, power, recoil, bulk and price; but still quite concealable and comfortable to carry - stmcelroy clothing points are right on.
You can never go wrong with an alloy S&W snubby, and I doubt you'll ever have to send it back for repair.
I pocket carry my 442 daily, along with my "Primary".
Yes, the round gun will bulge more than your slab sided KelTec. It is however, easier to draw from the pocket. The "bulge" is just that, a bulge. I find that more concealable than a KelTec. Everyone and their Brother knows when I have a KelTec in my pocket it seems. When I have the revolver in the pocket I just look like a frumpy dumpy old guy.
Also, I like the reliability of the revolver over a small autoloader. In a "Duty Size" weapon I don't think either one is more advantageous than the other, but in a BUG I definately want the most reliable I can get.

Pasta Beurre
Jim Tuttle - Mount Dora Historic Inn
Recipe type:
This is simplicity at its finest! Pasta Beurre literally translates to pasta with butter. It is a northern Italian dish; but, because of northern Italy's proximity to France, there is some influence in the dish. However, I would never tell my northern Italian friend that… Many of you have had this dish, but under a different name—Pasta Alfredo. Unfortunately what you know as pasta Alfredo has been altered to the point that it is no longer the traditional delicacy that I will share with you today.
16 ounces dry Linguini pasta
1 cup butter
¼ cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup finely grated (by hand please) Parmesan cheese—to be served at the table
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (6 quarts of water and 1 ½ tbsp of sea salt). (Do not add oil to water, ever! Your sauce will not adhere to the pasta if you do). To prevent pasta from sticking, continuously stir pasta for the first two minutes, then every few minutes thereafter.
Add linguini (whole, do not break in half—it's sacrilegious) and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain—do not rinse your pasta.
While pasta is cooking, in a saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add a pinch of salt and blend until married (your sauce, not you). Remove from heat as soon as the butter has melted; otherwise, your milk solids will separate out.
Once pasta is drained in a colander, return the pasta to its original pot Pour melted butter and cream over the pasta and toss well
Plate your pasta in bowls and serve immediately and pass the grated Parmesan cheese at the table.
Guide your guests to put a healthy portion of cheese on their pasta.

France eyes sending troops to Afghan combat zone
Washington is heading a campaign for what it calls a fairer sharing of the burden in the fight against Taliban insurgents. Britain, Canada, Poland and others have backed the U.S. demand.
Germany, Italy and Spain have troops in relatively secure areas and have refused to send troops to southern and eastern provinces where the militants are most active.
At a meeting in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius this month, NATO defense ministers with troops fighting the Taliban in the south of Afghanistan backed calls by the United States for more countries to send forces there.
NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said last week the alliance's future rested on its mission in Afghanistan.
Earlier this month, senior Canadian officials had talks in Paris on a possible offer of French support for 2,500 Canadian troops in southern Afghanistan.
Since his election in May, Sarkozy has sent more combat aircraft to Kandahar in southern Afghanistan and beefed up French efforts to train the Afghan army.

The wait is over for 2015 Bishop England DE/OL Hudson Little as he received his first scholarship on Wednesday. Little gave us the news about his first offer.
"Charleston Southern stopped by earlier and I gave me my first offer."
"Coach Chadwell came down to tell me that they were offering."
So how did it feel to get his first offer?
"It felt almost like some weight was listed off my back because this is what I've been training for and now my dreams are actually becoming reality."
Other schools have been by to check in on the talented two-time All-State selection.
"Georgia Southern and Coastal Carolina were here on Tuesday. Georgia Tech said they are coming down either this week or soon and South Carolina is coming Friday."
So which school could be the next to offer Little?
"Coastal Carolina said both the offense and defensive coordinator have been very interested in me but I honestly couldn't tell you who I think will offer me next because I don't know. I didn't even know that Charleston Southern was highly interested in me when they offered."
As for now Little says he has an idea of what schools he'll camp with but that list isn't set in stone yet. We'll keep you up to date regarding his recruitment right here on SCPrepNation.com!

Dear Friends,
Our country is at a crossroads and faces a stark choice between two futures. Washington can act now to address our ballooning national debt, or it can remain idle and continue to watch a crisis driven by out-of-control government spending threaten our nation's economic vitality, and with it, our ability to combat an unemployment rate that still hovers near ten percent. Our ability and willingness to confront this crisis will have broad ramifications for our nation's ability to compete in a global economy, as well as our ability to honor core promises, like continuing the availability of Medicare and Social Security and providing for the common defense.
Both parties are to blame for the current fiscal situation. Nearly one in ten Americans are looking for work and reckless government spending has done nothing to create jobs. Some in Washington attempt to solve every problem with more government control, higher spending, and increased taxes, which has resulted in $15 trillion of debt.
For four straight years, President Obama has proposed a budget with trillion-dollar deficits. According to the figures within the President's own budget, taxes would increase $1.9 trillion over the next ten years and spending would increase $1.5 trillion as a result of his plan. President Obama's budget doubles the national debt and puts us on a trajectory toward a staggering debt-to-economy ratio that approaches that of Greece and Italy. Not surprisingly, this plan didn't receive a single vote of support when it was considered by the House last week. The President's plan was defeated 414-0.
The pattern of tax, spend, and borrow will continue until we have the courage to choose another path. The vast majority of our federal spending is consumed by Medicare, Medicaid, and other entitlement programs. These programs require fundamental reforms to ensure that they remain available for future generations. For example, the average person pays over $60,000 into Medicare during their working years, yet receives over $170,000 in benefits from the program. Without reforms, these programs will continue to grow on autopilot until they are bankrupt.
Inaction is not a sustainable fiscal path. Each year we stand idle federal spending gets worse and our national debt deepens. We must address this looming crisis before it's too late.
The House Republican budget puts forward a blueprint for turning our fiscal situation around. It stops harmful cuts to defense programs, promotes energy independence, makes critical reforms to protect the long-term viability of Medicare without changing benefits for those 55 and older, and makes essential changes to the tax code to promote job growth.
As Congress looks forward, these fiscal challenges remind us that being good stewards of taxpayer dollars requires difficult decisions to be made; decisions that won't be without sacrifice. We can either continue down the path of growing debt, or we can put our country back on the path to prosperity.

Guthrie gives address in honor of thirtieth anniversary of the Vietnam War Memorial on National Mall
Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) spoke at the thirtieth anniversary of the Vietnam War Memorial on the National Mall today, March 26, 2012. Congressman Guthrie, a West Point Graduate and former artillery officer with the 101st Airborne Division, remarked on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's ongoing effort to memorialize the service members who gave their lives in defense of freedom in all wars.
At the invitation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, Congressman Guthrie presented a picture of Matt Henson, a fallen Marine from LaRue County, Kentucky, who was lost in Afghanistan. In memory of Matt and in support of all veterans, Congressman Guthrie made the following statement:
"When I was a kid and I came to the National Mall for the first time, it was really all about our larger-than-life heroes who are remembered here: Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. The Vietnam Wall transformed the Mall and now this area is focused on other heroes; all of those who sacrificed, all of those who served, and all who attended this event. Now when people come to Washington, it's not just about the people who were larger than life, like President Lincoln, but also the people like Matt Hanson who lived large lives but had them cut short because they wanted us to have freedom, opportunity, and hope."
Congressman Guthrie was joined by Congressman Allen West (FL-22), General Barry McCaffrey (Ret.), Brigadier General George Price (Ret), the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Jan Scruggs, Founder and President of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.

Walgreens Announces Plans for "Zero Energy" Retail Store

Walgreens plans to build a facility that makes more energy than it needs
Walgreens is a pharmacy chain within the United States that seems to have several stores in just about every modestly sized city. Like many large corporations, the company is working hard to reduce the amount of energy that its locations consume. Part of this push is to gain itself some green credibility and another part of the push is to help reduce the amount of money the company spends on electricity.
Walgreens has announced that it will use a number of green technologies to construct a zero energy retail store. The company believes that the location will be the first net zero energy store within the United States.
"We are investing in developing a net-zero store so we can learn the best way to bring these features to our other stores," said Thomas Connolly, Walgreens vice president of facilities development, in an interview with Energy Manager Today.
The company will rely on large solar panel arrays,
geothermal energy
wind turbines
, and LED lighting. Individually, these technologies have all been around for a number of years.
For instance, Philips offers its
Hue LED light bulb
for anyone who wants to try out green lighting. The good part about Hue LED light bulb and a myriad of other brands that are available on the market is that not only do they consume significantly less energy than a traditional incandescent light bulb, but many of them also allow you to tune the color of the light to your preference.
LED bulbs also last much longer than a traditional incandescent bulbs and produce less heat. In a large retail environment with a huge number of bulbs there is a potential to significantly reduce the energy needed to cool a location thanks to less heat output from an LED bulb.
Solar panels will play a big part in the zero energy building Walgreens is constructing. The concept drawings of the facility show the entire roofing surface covered with
solar panels
. It's unclear what sort of solar panels Walgreens will use, but they will undoubtedly be
among the most efficient
available on the market.
Geothermal electricity production is also nothing new. Back in 2009 researchers at MIT developed a
new process
that they believe can provide 10% of the electricity needed in America by 2050. Geothermal energy, much like solar power, produces little or no pollution and doesn't require fossil fuels to produce electricity.
Walgreens plans to build its zero energy location in Evanston, Illinois. The building will be constructed at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Keeney Street. There is an existing Walgreens location at that address that is now being demolished to clear the way for one of the greenest retail buildings in the country.
Walgreens estimates that the store will require 200,000 kWh of electricity per year and will generate 256,000 kWh of energy each year. Energy production from the store will of course vary depending on weather, store operations, and the system performance.

Is Being a Jerk Necessary for Originality? Examining the Role of Disagreeableness in the Sharing and Utilization of Original Ideas

We aimed to investigate the relationship between lower levels of agreeableness (i.e., disagreeableness) and innovation process such as idea generation, promotion, and group utilization, as well as potential contextual moderators of these relationships.
In the first laboratory study (n = 201), we examined links among individual and group measures of agreeableness, originality of ideas generated, and group utilization of ideas. In a second laboratory study (n = 291), we utilized confederates in an on-line environment to investigate the originality of ideas shared with group members after manipulating both feedback and originality of ideas generated by others.
In study 1, disagreeableness was generally unrelated to the originality of ideas generated, but positively related to group utilization of ideas. Similar trends were observed in study 2 with the caveat that disagreeableness was positively linked to originality of ideas shared only when the social context was unsupportive of novel ideas and confederate group members shared original ideas.
Disagreeable personalities may be helpful in combating the challenges faced in the innovation process, but social context is also critical. In particular, an environment supportive of original thinking may negate the utility of disagreeableness and, in fact, disagreeableness may hamper the originality of ideas shared.
Few studies have investigated the relationship between disagreeableness and originality and even fewer have examined both the social context and stage of innovation in which these relationships may occur. Results suggest there is value in considering each in future investigations.

This Is Lifeby admin
Crying out solemnly.
Crying as loudly as silence.
Words pouring out unspoken
The deep inside feeling gone.
I'm lost.
I searched my way,
But the road vanished
As invisible as invisible itself.
Nothing goes my way,
Nothing comes my way.
Loss of hope; loss of dignity,
Everything that is lost,
Has become a part of mine.
A thousand mile I walked.
A thousand mile I shall walk.
Today will be gone as yesterday
And morrow will come as today.
But I will remain me.
Another dawn breaks
With reds and yellows of sun;
Hour races by
With ticking of seconds and minutes.
A tyranny of burden comes
With just one mistake in life.
Souls be burn away,
Dreams are taken away;
This ain't anyone's world.
Ours is a sojourn.
Dreams are just dreams
And reality is the fate.
And fate is to be faced.
This is life.

Rachel Rising #14 Review
Story and Art by Terry Moore
Being the second issue of what Terry Moore has dubbed season two of Rachel Rising, it makes perfect sense that this is a slower paced issue than what we have been accustomed to as of late. There is a whole lot of setup present here, ranging from Jet's inevitable revival to Zoe's encounter with both Mary Scott and the possessed priest! I love Zoe, so I will admit that final panel made me quite sad inside. She's been exposed to more evil and darkness than any young girl should, I fear for her mental fortitude. I just want her to be happy, dammit!
While this issue is mostly about setting up the characters so we can eventually watch them fall, Terry Moore manages to inject the last few pages with just enough spine-tingling horror to remind us that this is and will always be, a horror comic. The sequence of panels with Zoe seeing Mary Scott again was terrifying, that grin on her face gave me goosebumps. Also of note, the last two pages of this issue were crafted expertly. The art and dialogue combine in such a way that only one with a complete mastery of storytelling such as Terry Moore could effectively pull it off. I look forward to what the next issue has to offer, I just really hope it doesn't involve Earl taking Dr. Siemen's "love" story to heart.

Why and where we blog
Posted by Peter Kim on January 28, 2007

I stumbled across a new Forrester blog recently and thought you might be interested in hearing about where other Forrester analysts are blogging:
- New media and marketing: Charlene Li
- Social computing: Groundswell - Charlene and Josh Bernoff
- Devices and media: Ted Schadler, Charlie Golvin, and Paul Jackson
- Retail
- Security and Risk Management
The marketing team also had a conversation about why we blog. Our feed subscription and site traffic have grown at a pretty decent pace and I thought it was a good point for a status check. Some of our reasons:
- A great way to have a broad, public conversation and engage with new voices that surface via comments and trackbacks
- Less formal and faster than writing an "official" research piece - an easier way to air out thoughts on a topic and get feedback (which often leads to a syndicated research piece)
- To gauge the heat level on topics that lie on the fringe of a research agenda
- Building awareness in niche marketing topics
- The audience has so much to teach us - making us better analysts
- Although none of us are compensated for blogging, the blog certainly generates visibility and activity that indirectly helps our business (i.e. the ROI of blogging)
Last time we did a process check, you left great feedback on how to improve - one piece of advice that everyone took to heart was the need to use a more personal voice in posts. (Hopefully you've noticed!)
So have at it once again - what value do you get out of this blog? Any suggestions for improvement?

Your blogs are, in my opinion, the best way to follow along with your analysts. Not everybody is going to purchase a research report. However, you can see the thought process of your analysts. You can easily judge what each analyst brings to the table. Maybe most important, you put a human face on your analysts.Tell the marketing folks this is good stuff, keep doing it!!

I discovered the Forrester blogs over the summer. As an MBA student and part-time web consultant working with very small organizations, I don't yet have the budget to buy reports. These blogs provide valuable bites of information that I can use to give my clients better advice and keep tabs on what's going on out there, and they set a great example for me to show them how a blog can help them connect with customers.Great job, Forresties. Keep it up!!

Growing up in Granada, Spain, young David Fandila always dreamed of being a matador. This documentary captures the rise of "El Fandi," one of Spain's most renowned bullfighters, who first entered the ring at age 14. While it's never in doubt that Fandila is at the top of his game, filmmakers Stephen Higgins and Nina Gilden Seavey weigh the significance of bullfighting as a cultural tradition against its inherent danger and cruelty.

Submitted to: Plant Breeding
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/11/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Wheat breeders have been trying to efficiently place genes from rye into wheat for many years. In the past it has taken many crosses and the growing of very large populations over several generations in order to obtain rye genes in wheat that are useful to wheat breeders. The present study was designed to see if newer techniques could greatly speed the process of integrating rye genes into wheat. The techniques showed that wheats could be produced in two generations, from wheat-rye crosses, that contained rye genes. Five breeding lines were established that contain new sources of useful rye genes in wheat backgrounds for use by wheat breeders in variety production.
Technical Abstract: Five wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.)-triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) doubled haploid (DH) lines, M08, V209, DH220-14-2, DH696-3-4 and M16, derived from the anther culture of F1s resulting from crosses involving hexaploid or octoploid triticale X hexaploid wheat were characterized by cytological and biochemical markers. Cytological evidence from genomic in situ hybridization and C-banding indicated that DH lines M08 and V209 (2n=42), each contained a pair of 1BL/1RS translocation chromosomes. Line DH220-14-2 (2n=42) was also a translocated line with two pairs of chromosomes containing small fragments of rye (Secale cereale L.). One of the translocation fragments carried the Sec-1R gene originating from the satellite region of 1RS; the origin of the other one remains unknown. DH696-3-4 (2n=42), contained a 3D(3R) substitution. In M16(2n=44), three pairs of rye chromosomes, 3R, 4R and 6R, were present with 4R as an addition with 3D(3R) and 6D(6R) as substitutions. Biochemical, isozyme, and storage protein markers confirmed the cytological conclusions. The advantages of transferring alien chromosomes or chromosome fragments into wheat and creating alien aneuploid lines by anther culture of hybrid F1 are discussed.

Clean rooms and comfortable bed. Friendly front service. Gift/snack shop located near lobby. $19 a night to park in their garage & the parking spots are for small compact cars. The walls are thin and our room was across from the ice machine. Needless to say but I got little sleep the one night I spent there. For a Hilton I expected much more.
The parking fair is charged on the card you leave on file. Self Peking however you are required to pay 18 dollars a day. Not a way we wanted to spend our honeymoon
The rooms were big and clean. Very comfortable! Our toilet backed up... Wasn't from a giant turd or anything though.. (my wife did it)
I loved it. Don't like how pricey it was for one night but overall it was a good experience. The only downfall was the shower because theres no rail for the water to not get out of the shower! So water gets everywhere!
The hotel is in a good location, right off the freeway. The room was nice and big, and breakfast was quite good.
Very convinient hotel, close to Universal Studios, close to lots of shops and restaurants. Very accomodating staff. We will for sure be back. Just the parking fee.
It was very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The television was nice too. The coffee was delicious. The fact that I was given a room next to testosterone fueled college athletes. They were extremely rowdy, yelling in the halls and slamming doors. The guys in the room directly next to mine kept yelling so loud, it was as if though in the room with me. I was a little worried at first thinking they were arguing and that it would escalate. Luckily, it didn't go further than yelling and slamming doors.
I was super impressed by the staff at the Hotel. Can't think of anything
Restaurant was great Charge for parking
I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly and caring. When I checked in, I was talking with the front desk and i told her about my crazy travel day with canceled flights, she said I would like to buy you a drink. She called the bar and told them I would be down and the first drink, no matter what is on the house. Overall great place to stay if your working in Pasadena, Glendale, and Burbank areas. I had a great stay.
The location was perfect for our visit to the area and the comfort of the hotel. Having to pay $19.00 per day for parking.
EXTREMELY convenient location (near the freeway, Trader Joe's, gas station, and Walgreens), with plenty of great dining options nearby. Crab Boil Ave. and Porto's Bakery & Cafe were my favorite.
Absolutely nothing. I couldn't wait to get outta that hotel. Everything. The staff-rude, non-friendly. Poor customer service skills, Experienced BED BUGS in the rooms, Rooms were not cleaned, Food on the floor-scattered- from previous customer, Toilets had urine & pubic hair all over, sink had toothpaste markings from others, Stains & Water damage on the walls--felt like a motel 6!! Not Embassey Suites at $200+/night!! Then having to fight for what's right to please the customer after horrible vacation experience. Ruined everything. Will never stay here again.
The hotel is within walking distance to shopping and dining. The hotel is also in great location for many sites and activities (beaches, Hollywood, Universal Studioy, etc.). Embassy as usual has the best breakfasts. I wish the parking was free but when in Rome........ There was really nothing I didn't like about this hotel.
Paying for parking
Check in was fast and easy, afternoon reception was nice: glass of wine and a snack. Free breakfast was great, so easy to go downstairs and get a bite to eat, I'm let station, bacon, eggs, fruit, cereal.. very complete breakfast with lots of seating. The room was also very clean, we had a view of the lobby but it was fine. The beds were super comfy and bathroom was large and clean. Location was easy to find and right off the freeway exit and 10 min from universal studios. The parking was $14 a day which is a little steep in my opinion. The power went out for about 10 min, but the elevators were out of service for 2 hours until one elevator was back in service, which made it difficult to take the luggage down. Other than that great hotel.
great room, space, and vibe Man in front questioned if I parked inside or not even after I told him I'm moving my car. I parked outside instead. I was also charged inappropriately for the parking
Location, staff, everything the hotel had to offer! One morning the power went out and we had to go down 12 flights of stairs to get breakfast, then back up 12 flights and back down again to start our day.
Large, inviting hotel with friendly staff and amenities to make this a comfortable place to stay for several nights. Filling, excellent breakfast. In-room wifi and manager's cocktail hour. Loads of parking under the hotel--with plenty of space! The two rooms feel separate---two TVs. This would work well for families I imagine. This will be the hotel I use when I return to Glendale.
It was terrible and confusing. You had to get a voucher every day and it was far away, so you had to walk with all your stuff very inconvenient. Thought it was crazy that you had to pay for wifi too
Booked on KAYAK mobile for $90 plus tax. Close to LAX - good for travelers spending the night. Check-in was efficient. Room was pretty big. Bed was comfortable. Seemed to be very clean. Stepped right onto the shuttle in the morning to go to LAX. The flipside of proximity to LAX is that you can hear jets taking off, although it wasn't loud enough to disturb me at all. It may have been bad luck, but I saw several hotels' shuttles come by twice or more before the Sheraton shuttle finally arrived to pick us up. Also the shuttle stalled out a couple of times on the way to the airport, leading to significant anxiety. Possibly may have also been just bad luck.
Location, gym, bed, price.
Very clean, very close to the airport, workers were nice. No fridge in room. Parking is not free.
I like being able to see air traffic at LAX, so that's a plus for me. Others may not like the noise, but I don't mind it at all. The Club lounge on the 15th floor serves a decent breakfast, with a variety of breads and cereals, pastries and muffins, fruit, yogurt/fruit/granola parfaits, oatmeal, and drinks. The hotel has a room service robot that delivers small items that you may have forgotten or run out of (toothpaste, etc.) Water pressure in the shower on my 4+ stays has been far less than impressive. I can't say I've had to dance around to get wet, but it's almost there. The mattress and pillows are a bit soft for my taste, but I know I prefer a firm mattress and extremely firm pillows. Service in the hotel bar was the worst I've ever had when I was there earlier this week. They took a while to take our order (I was with a colleague), then brought me the wrong drink. They delivered my order (an ever-so-complicated quesadilla) 20 minutes later, and my colleague was still waiting on his medium-rare hamburger 45 minutes after ordering it. We did speak with a manager, who indicated that some changes had been made just that day and that the staff was adjusting. I may give the bar another chance, but if it's as bad as my last experience, it will be exactly that - my last experience.
Restaurant service and yelp promos very good
My suite was very nice & clean. The staff where really friendly & very helpful LOVED IT!!
Awesome bed. Didn't have housekeeping while staying there.
Staff made up different policy to extort money from confused scared woman. The received numerous calls from the booking agents and their parent company but they refused to honor the stated policy. The result, the hotel took all the cash off a woman who was traveling alone and had miss her flight due to an airline agent's mistake, Their actions forced a diabetic not to eat for over 14hrs.....
Parking is so expensive
Location and shuttle timeliness. I didn't appreciate being charged for valet when I never had a car parked at the hotel. And then making an attempt to get in touch with the finance department of the hotel was nearly impossible. I left messages and called repeatedly only to never receive a call back.
I liked the view the room was ok wasn't what I was expecting (received a king instead of a double queen) Staff was very friendly -Wasn't aware of parking so I was charged twice for going in and out -Have to pay for WiFi (Not Free) -Paid for club level wasn't able to access the club room for breakfast or the horderves with my key card -Extra $20 to get a double queen when it was offered during reservation but wasn't able to select figured since there was 3 guest it would give me double queen (said king or double queen) -Wasn't Well Informed on anything during check in -Left disappointed
Location was just by lax, perfect view of aircraft taking off and landing, hertz rental desk with check-in desk, breakfast in bed Had to arrange connecting rooms setup for my daughter seperately on the day of check-in - would prefer to do this in advance with the online booking.
lobby, localizacao quarto precise de reforma
thy dont regard privacy :-@
The staff were very polite and professional and were kind enough to offer a discounted rate for late checkout.
location bathroom was poor
The convenience and price
Very comfortable hotel close to all transport. Excellent service in the dining rooms. Excellent buffet breakfast. Lack of Refrigerator/Mini Bar and Safe in rooms.
Conveinient, good quality, friendly
car for hire lack of choices for eating, shopping, sights
Very clean, comfortable rooms; pictures on Internet do not do the hotel justice; would definitely recommend this hotel for it's comfort and luxury. Food and drinks were excessively pricey.
Stayed overnight before flying back to uk after touring Ca. Excellent accommodation, used gym and pool, good food, comfortable room and despite being close to airport little noise in room. Prompt service and no problems with shuttle to and from airport.
Clean, quiet. Just coming off a red eye with my wife and kids for a few extra hours of sleep during our layover; the decor was a bit over the top and certainly not what we expected from a Hyatt Regency. Weird 1950's lighting. Limited bathroom privacy. The whole room felt like a spaceship. This property shouldn't be a Hyatt Regency; it felt more like a W or an edgier brand. Hyatt Regency at other properties feels classier; this was too modern and hip for a family running on fumes.
The renovated room , with modern details. The type of window of the room 722 is old and doesn't match with the renovated room.
Room was missing an iron
The place was extremely nice and well done. The accommodations were comfortable and nice. I purposefully told the attendant I would be leaving early and my guest will be staying until check out. She said she would make a note and one was not made. So then my friend was harassed and accused and made to feel like a criminal when he tried to get in the room and the key did not work. His belongings were held hostage while he was interrogated.
The room was gorgeous, the lighting and furniture was very sleek and modern. The room I was in also had a 60"+ Tv which made for a great way to catch the end of the Sunday night football game in solitude. The room and hotel are great. However there was a $250 deposit on the room, this wasn't an issue for me, though I can see this being an issue for travelers not being financially prepared.
Juan in the bar was great. Got us food when we needed it and he was very pleasant, helpful and friendly. He should be commended for a job well done. He went out of his way to help us.
The gym has a nice view, and the shuttle was efficient. Small room.
Long term parking is next door. Major construction of hotel going on. Met by Security on the way to our room- apparently it it had been trashed by the previous guest and not cleaned. Why would you check us into that room? Dark roast coffee only- most hotels offer a medium.
Location go LAX. Accommodated late check out. Overnight parking seemed a bit expensive. Cleaning staff came in multiple times with the do not disturb sign out.
The room was nicely updated. Hotel is under construction. The construction noise started at 8am. The staff was unable to compensate me because I booked the hotel through KAYAK.
Staff was phenomenal. Very friendly and answered all of our questions. This was fromthe front desk to the cleaning ladies. Great place to stay. Our room was also one of the quietest that my wife and i have ever stayed in. The only negative was the construction but it's a remodel. Didn't hold that against them.
Loved the view of planes. Need more handicap spots for parking. Bathroom a little adted
Having to pay $25 for valet parking.
Super clean and comfortable. Relaxation therapy face and foot cream and room/pillow spray a nice touch.
Newer updated rooms, great bed/etc. Good location for getting around areas of LA. Parking was a bit costly because of how close this hotel was to the airport but it was a nice location for getting around various areas of LA.
This place is great. I paid $136 a night. Super nice staff. Parking in the structure was only $15 that's good because from other reviews I heard it was more. its super convenient and has a nice view of the airport (perfect for plane lovers). Before you check they send you a email asking you when you wanna check in, what view you want, how many pillows you need, and if your a single or double bed so that was pretty cool. Overall it's a very good place to stay. I will definetly book here again, only if I can't stay at Taylor swifts house hahaha Didn't have a fridge. Would be the best if they can put one in the rooms that don't have one. Other than that this place is s
I like the travelers kit with the relaxation essential oils spray. It made it very easy to fall asleep for the four hours I was there.
Our receptionist Diamond was one of the best receptionist to accommodate us at the beginning. She made sure that all of our request regarding rooms and parking was taken care of . What a great host. The rooms were really clean and comfortable. The housekeeping staff were spot on. Every morning at 6:30 am during our stay, there was a group of protesters outside of our window marching, yelling on a loud horn and shouting. Apparently, they wanted the hotel staff to unionize and the hotel has pushed back against it. We only learn then why we received ear plugs on our bed at the beginning of our stay. Even though we were on the 8th floor, it still was very loud and annoying during our 3 day stay. It lasted for about 1 1/2 hours each day.
It was easy to find, clean, friendly and comfortable. I didn't like the exorbitant parking fees and they had no record of my reservation through booking.com. Thankfully, the front desk staff were able to get me a room (and a rollaway :( ) and lowered my cost as a show of good business.
Good but noisy A/C unit in room 826. Good but noisy A/C unit in room 826.
Friendly, quick check in, comfortable room, good size room. Dirty linen, cheap toilet paper, did not live up to expectation based on name of hotel, airport shuttle very behind schedule of advertised "every 15 minutes".
The pizza and craft beer were excellent. Sushi and many other food options were available.
Airport hotel, so just to sleep. Two girl friends travelling together and everything worked. Nice bathroom with lots of counter space, good shower. Lighting for reading was focused and not intrusive to the other person, with convenient switches,. Check out was done on the phone in your room, airport shuttle buses ran every 20 minutes, 24 hours per day. Basically everything worked and was very convenient. Sometimes the simple things add up to a great stay. Bathroom door was a pocket door and very noisy, so there was no way to go to the washroom without waking up the other person.
Bed comfortable. Linin nic Bathroom Tissues so cheap like a gas station very limited tolietries. Paper coffe cups? Must call for ceramic. For a Crown Plaza I expected higher quality Good in restaurant tasted canned or frozen
Best place to stay when going to Universal Studios, and I go a lot. There's a free shuttle that takes you to the entrance of City Walk or you can walk there in less than 10 minutes via the pedestrian bridge.
Everything was perfect
Close to Universal Studios The outside hallway carpet was greasy and muddy. Even after having them clean it, we continued to bring grease and grime and dirt into our hotel room. Our entry walkway was pretty disgusting because of it.
The pool, corner room & breakfast. The parking situation upon arrival.
The staff, the comfy beds, location Funny smells, noisy electronics/shower, parking price. The place is good but could use an update
Staff was great, location to other attractions The parking garage was pricey considering I paid 200.00 a night should get a discount when staying. The elevators were all not in service. Breakfast was too expensive for a weeks stay. I couldn't find a salon inside for service.
Walking distance to universal and reasonable droving distance to many LA locations. Cost of parking.
The room was spacious...good pillows. Good gym, nice pool. Two elevators were out (and have been for 3 years!), making trips up and down sometimes very lengthy. You can call the operator each time you go to the elevator asking to be picked up, but how ridiculous for a hotel of this caliber. Restaurant food was boring. All three places to eat at the hotel had the same menu, with tiny differences. The first meal or two it is fine, you can find alternate foods to eat, but after a few days, a change is necessary. It cost $18 for a so-called, all you can eat 'continental breakfast'...yogurt, fruit, cereal, muffins and coffee! This Hilton is near the Universal City Walk, all franchise restaurants so no good food nearby for real foodies...if you like buffets with all you can eat, this is your place.
Staff and less than 10 minutes walking distance to Universal studio Wait for elevator and parking was pricey
My room was not clean. A previous guests clothing was still in my room after checking in. Very disgusted by the lack of attention to detail
I have been staying here one night a week for a class I have on the weekends....the night at the Westin is my best night of sleep all week! Comfy beds.
I had classes up in Hollywood, but I didn't recognize the hotel names in that area. I chose this Westin, by the airport... and like always Westin was Excellent. Beds are very comfortable!
Usual Westin--nice facility, as expected. Good location if you need to be close to airport--but not too close to downtown LA or Hollywood... Unfortunately our bathroom had a strong cigarette smell in it, and when we asked to change rooms there wasn't a room available that wasn't facing LAX. They offered to freshen it up, but housekeeping didn't arrive until 10pm, and we'd already gone to bed so we sent them away
I LOVE the beds! I just stayed one night, usually I cannot sleep well the first night in a new location....but in these beds I slept just like I was in my bed at home.
Location . Dirty windows , no tooth paste , and furniture was dusty
I am never disappointed by this hotel. Excellent!
staff was nice and it was a good quality hotel self-parking was $50 a night and the mattress was waek
The bed was comfotable The first room I entered had smoke oder though its a non smoking Hotel. They moved me to another room. The room size is small and could use some updating. My main disappointment was how long the shuttle takes to pick up from the airport and how long it took to get to the airport. thankfully I allowed an hour before my check in tome. It took 45 minutes from being in the lobby at 0630 to actually getting to the airport.
The beds are comfortable.
Everything, the staff was very friendly the room was clean pool was warm bed was comfortable and shower was great
Clean sleek hotel
The location was great, the hotel is beautiful, especially the pool. I didn't rent a car so I liked how easy it was for me to take an uber The bed pillows were bad so I didn't sleep well and the were no outlets near the bed so I could charge my phone and none near the bathroom counter so I could power my curling irons
The quiet. We checked in a little early. As soon as we checked in we were told a room wouldn't be ready for at least an hour and with a big business group in the property it was hard to find a space to relax let alone get a drink at the bar. The lobby hallway and bar were so crowded that we had to leave the hotel to get a drink to be able to relax after a long drive in from a neighboring state. Upon return we were directed to a room on the 2nd floor that had a bed that was so flattened and sunken in that myself and my partner rolled into one an other. This was truly unsatisfactory and we expected more staying at a shariton property. This was an issue that could visually be detected by housekeeping or maintenance but was disregarded and ignored. We then spoke to front desk and asked them for a room transfer and after some push back were redirected to a different room. Definitely not something worth going through while on vacation. Makes us want to stay with a competitor to see if the same challenges are met with (Hilton, embassy, etc.)
The lobby and bar area (bartenders) was excellent and friendly. Looks nice on main floor. Once you get into your room it's tiny. Washrooms are small and out of date. Definetly clean though. Good for 1 night stay only while between travelling places. Tub leaked water all over washroom floor. Tiny washroom out of date. Vending machines on all the floors were sold out of all beverages.
nothing I arrived 11:30pm, as planned. The hotel acknowledged that I had a prepaid reservation, but said: NO ROOM. NO REFUND. NO OFFER TO PROVIDE A ROOM AT ANOTHER PROPERTY (it's Starwood, which has 1,000 hotels in L.A.). Avoid at all cost.
Good location ! Good for rental cars return and closer to the airport . The sink in my room smell like death fish.
It located near the airport and perfect for travellers like us. They run constant shuttles to and from the airport and a familiar with business travellers. The room condition was below standard. The drains in the bathroom flowed very slowly and the showering facilities were a trial to use. The bathroom basin drained so slowly we had to take turns washing.
They allowed us an early check-in on a day room. The shuttle was quick and efficient. The restaurant was slow and disorganized. The fact that they charged to print stuff out and didn't have a true business center was annoying.
Everything it sucks
Terrible experience 1)given confirmation that room will be away from elevators and quite, but the room no. 364 I was allocated, was right next to elevators and infront of maid/cleaning room 2)bathroom door lock didn't work. Door kept opening up 3)thin walls in the room. Could hear the shower noise in the next room 4) unnecessarily delay at check-in counter, because there was another person with same last name as mine had made reservation. Most absurd excuse I had heard ever 5) manager too rude to even come out at check in counter , the lady at the counter had to take my phone inside some room to show it to her manager the confirmation msg I got after I had checked in online earlier 6) found a hair in the milk served at breakfast. When asked to replace it, the server didn't even feel guilty to know about the hair 7) TV remote not present in the room.had to call room services and request one
Nothing All
There was no heat in the room. Management promised to have it repaired the next day but no such luck. My son left sick with a cold due to lack of heat. We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights with no heat.
Love that the hotel has beautiful lush grounds to walk around. Very pleasant staff and clean rooms. We were given a room at the Villa Clara and while a gorgeous building, our dbl beds were too short and made for an uncomfortable nights sleep.
Liked everything! Especially the complimentary shuttle service.
Beautiful grounds! For the price, things didn't seem up to par. Our room wasn't super clean... chair had food stains. Ice room was very dirty and old. Lots of construction around pool area. Room was okay. Bathroom was nicer than the room. Paint, wallpaper, etc. around the hotel need to be updated and cleaned.
The bed too soft & too noise
Lovely grounds and common areas There were no blankets for extra bed.
Loved it!
Fantastic place. History and luxury
The hotel is a gem in setting and appearance. The staff exceptionally courteous and helpful. The restaurant and bars amazing My particular room, 1702 needed a slight furniture update, and oddly was short a breakfast order door hang tag and the second day I received no bottled water replacement.
Hotel views
Older property that has charm, but for a 5 star hotel the hotel staff falls short of offering a 5 star experience. In addition, because rooms are older, it's hard to find an easily accessible electricity plug to charge your phone at night. In fact, the only one I could find was in the bathroom.
Beautiful hotel! Staff very friendly and helpful Expensive... We ordered room service late one night and didn't get half of it because they had ran out, but no phone call was made to us or given the opportunity to order something else.
the Concierge level that I upgraded to as well as the staff!
Everything was beautiful. From our rooms, it is worth upgrading. To the rotating lounge to get a full view of the city. There was something to do all over the hotel. We only left to go to the NBA game! Food, entertainment, night life. The Westin Bonaventure has it all. Wish Starbucks carries their normal breakfast items.
Views were perfect, great dining, walking distance toetro Can be confusing when walking around, a little pricey on the breakfast, but the food was great,
Everything sense I checked in the stuff was helpful and very nice I was there for my birthday weekend and they just made it awesome.
Cool building, nice facilities. The view is amazing and the location is a short ride to good food areas like Little Tokyo. Bathroom was tiny, there was a small piece of gum stuck on the carpet in my room.
Very luxurious when walking in. Room looks clean but there was dust in bathroom and I saw fingernail inbeteen bed and nightstand. Phone was not plugged in and did not work
"Complementary" wi-fi wouldn't let me connect under any circumstances! Very frustrating when traveling for business and connectivity is an essential need!!!
Very beautiful, cool building. Room was very comfortable. Great view of the city. Not really near any tourist locations.
Very nice room. Great facilities. Terribly overpriced. Nothing is included in the base price. The fact that the room was well over $400 a night one would imagine that the wifi and breakfast ought to be included. The bar and restaurant are also too expensive for what they offer in terms of quality and choice.
the decoration
Exceptional and very relaxed service, not at all in your face but everything was possible! The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and for LA the room was exceptionaly quite. All in all my best hotel experience in USA!
Excellent experience, very welcoming staff with good attention to detail, well located and very good in-house dining options. Interesting designs used throughout the hotel.
Nothing beside the breakfast
Everthing Lack of power outlets near bed. But had a wonderful time
excellent service and concierge. great pool. fantastic restaurant and brunch. cool rooms
The spa is very good and the heated pool. The brunch was also good.
your "english"staff and all the architecture
Interior decorations, bartenders, the lady at Altitude that walked my friends and I to the daybeds, and the drinks Customer service, mixing up the reservations, the room smelling like cigarette smoke after have it serviced, luggage bags were not delivered until after 3 hours of checking in, and the hand held shower head would leak water when the dial to only have the shower head was on.
Staff was ecellent Parking a little too expensive
The staff was amazing!! So helpful! The rooms were very comfortable!! The beds were great!! We had a room with a view, and it was fantastic. The one big thing that I didn't like was, that there was no fridge in the room. We asked for one and got one for a small charge. The other only thing I didn't like was, that there was no microwave in the room.
The hotel was located in a perfect location. I was close to everything I wanted to be near. The pool and other facilities was the best. The room was also very cozy.
The mattresses were too old and lacked firmness.
Nothing Everything
Hotel was beautiful! Staff was friendly and attentive. Location was fantastic! Our room had a phenomenal view of the Hollywood sign. Pool was gorgeous. All in all, it was the best experience we could have hoped for on our first trip to Tinseltown.
The staff were very friendly, and helpful when I checked in. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The mini-bar key didn't work, and it would've been nice to have a fridge to keep some drinks in the fridge, but I didn't inquire with the staff, and I assume they would've rectified that for me if I had. Nice and central, so traveling for business doesn't mean limited options for food and amenities.
Loved the location of this hotel. Service was great as well!
As soon as we stepped out of the car we were treated with such surprising care. The man at valet, Ever (that's his name- EVER, how cute is that?) was so nice that my fiancée and I looked at each other and just shook our heads and laughed. We weren't used to customer service like this. We went to check in early, 1pm, and Melanie at the front desk was able to upgrade us to a corner suite! The entire staff was so professional but without being too stuffy. The hotel was beyond our expectations. Not a big deal but there was one little Q-tip outside our room for our stay. We kind of joked that they gave us the Q-tip suite. We also couldn't find coffee in the morning inside the hotel. We had our coffee maker in the room but needed more and didn't want to pay $15 for a pot of coffee at the restaurant.
The staff was great. It was right in the middle of Hollywood, nice and clean. Loved the shopping connected to it.
Full service, location. I booked and paid for a Deluxe King Room with view of Hollywood sign. I received a room near the elevators with a constant machine and elevator running noise. I asked to be moved and was told someone would be right up and after 10 minutes I grew tired of waiting and went down to the front desk. This was already 11PM. I was taken to a new room that had an adjoining door with a party going on in the adjacent room. I asked to be moved AGAIN, eventually to a room with queen bed. The beds were too soft for my taste. There was a curly hair on the soap dish in the shower. I will never stay there again.
Really great staff. Enjoyed the wine pairing and tasting menu at steak house.
The room and restroom was very clean and the restaurant for breakfast very good Room is small
My kids and I love our stay... Beds were comfortable. . staff was nice and friendly.. The restaurants were delicious.. Love the pool and jacuzzi.. We had a great time.
The pool is nice The rooms are very very small, the treatment to the costumer is really bad. Not reccommended.
The Wifi service
Had to wait at airport for 35 minutes for shuttle to pick me up. Unacceptable!!
Clean, comfy beds and decent restaurants within. Room smaller than expected, especially the bathroom
What I'll remember most is the consistently friendly and helpful service, from first arriving to departure. Pool was a bit cold
Staff helped us with the set up of a baby bed
The beverly wilshire is just an excellent hotel with warm and cozy enviroment, luxurious and really fancy. Guest is very good served The shower is so weak and has no presure, that you hardly can take a shower.
The service staff was great, enjoyed the hotel staff cars (Mercedes and Rolls Royce) taking us to shopping locations/lunch... and picking us up. The hotels artwork, decor and architecture is one of the best in the World, and we have travelled most of Europe and stayed in their 5 start hotels. The Beverly Wishire gets 5 Stars+ in my book, my 2nd time their and I will return again soon. Dr Phil M
From LAX took the super shuttle to the hotel. Room was ready hours before expected check in. Reason for stay was for business conference at Universal Studios. We took the courtesy shuttle both days to Universal in the morning. Upon check out, Terene at the front desk was so helpful in arranging a rental car and checking prices. Would definitely stay there again. My only complaint was I wanted room service from the kids menu and they wouldn't let me because I wasn't under 12.
The bright, open property is contemporary and quiet. The pool area is large, organized and clean. After driving by twice, we finally realized that BG on a building behind a driveway sign advertising a restaurant was the hotel. Pulled up to check in & unload but was whished away by the valet to move the car. Handed him the keys to move it but he declined...kept insisting I move the car to a lot then check in, go back to the lot to get the luggage then I had to move the car to the overnight lot...all because the trolley shuttle was due anytime. This was how our stay began. The resev. request and 2 calls for a ground floor unit went unheard. 7th floor near the 101 freeway & all the freeway noise. No iron/board in the room & waited over 30 mins to get one that was broken. Print your airline boarding pass.... $5.95 per 5 mins. Really? I addressed each concern with the attentive front desk. They waived the parking fee and asked that we please stay & not go elsewhere.
Convenience. The wedding we attended was held in the gardens of the hotel. Lovely garden, great service. No robes in the room. View of the parking lot not particularly inspiring. Noise from the highway annoying. Food not great. Restaurant VERY noisy, food below average. If you are without a car, you are kind of stuck. Swimming pool very crowded, good job we had no intention using it.
The room, the bed, pillows, shower, and the size of the safe. The daily parking fee of 22.00 and the additional 2.00 for taxes . Our card didn't work in the parking meter. We had to go another one. The a/c vent next to the bed was loud and the a/c kicked on.
everything. except the elevators were broken. truly hurt me. both elevators probably won't effect your trip but it made mine difficult. besides the elevators, the parking is a bit far but okay. everything else is awesome.
Lovely orange color, romantic atmosphere, clean room
Staff Noise Fans Tiny balcony Price
Comfortable, friendly staff and great food
The pool area was very relaxing and comfortable The pricing for food and drink in the pool area was too high.
Everything was stunning. It's a nice hotel surrounded by greenery and a very friendly staff. The rooms were clean and warm. What was nice was that you could walk to whatever you needed and it was all at most a 30 minute walk away. My friends and I went to universal via their trolly and walked home. It was a very plesant experience. The pillows went flat really fast.
Great hotel would stay again.
Convenient location to Universal and other Hollywood landmarks. Wait staff, rude. Front desk, not helpful. I would not stay here again nor recommend others based off the customer service alone.
Great location, cool hip vibe Very small room, Unresponsive service, air conditioning in room broken, shower in bathroom was actually worse than an old holiday inn. Things were just broken down, dirty, and nobody seemed to care. For a luxury hotel, a huge disappointment.
Arrived at hotel at 4:30 pm after a 7 hour drive. Our room was not yet ready. Asked if we could wait at the lounge. The lounge and restaurant were reserved for a private party. They recommended finding an restaurant on the street nearby. We just drove for 7 hours and didn't want to search for a "place" to wait somewhere outside of the hotel. We finally were allowed to our room...which was nothing as shown in pictures. It was dark, dingy with no seating beside the bed. Because the restaurant and lounge were "reserved", and we were too tired to venture out to eat, our only option was room service. We ordered chicken Caesar salad. Although they said it would take 45 minutes...it arrived in 15. A salad with chicken breast on the side. Much to our disgust...as we sliced the chicken to add to the salad, it was not just under cooked...it was RAW! completely inedible. It took 4 calls to room service and guest services to have someone come to our room to witness the meal, acknowledge the error and remove it from the room. This room was 350.00 per night with valet...I've had better treatment in a 75.00 a night motel. I will never revisit this Hotel.
Location, location, location Small room, expencive parking.
It was comfortable enough for me to return for a second time and felt right at home. The staff is genuinely nice without being gratuitous. Love the outdoor cafe for breakfast.
great room with great view facing the hills on 9th floor i was sick and the maid unfortunately took away my thermos jug with tea, even though i put it off the tray and next to my bed
Great staff and great hotel, a little pricey for the size of the room but overall great stay Wifi was down with no notice, was on the phone with IT for over an hour
the comfort of the bed We got an upgrade but the room was tiny.
Very nice and clean. Great value and great location. Lower floors can be loud at night if there is an event in the restaurant.
Excellent service and great suite W views. Signage for gym directions needs to improve.
Possibly one of the greatest hotels I've stayed at within the Los Angeles county. From a friendly courteous staff, to an impeccably clean room, Sofitel has lived up to its standards as well as exceededing them. -The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as luxurious and comfortable as possible with their luggage assistance, complementary calls, rapid response to requests, and much more. -The room was spotless and featured many extra amenities not normally included in other hotels. -A glass window separating the bedroom from the shower exemplified the uniqueness of this hotel and offers a romantic setting for couples. -To top this stay off, the chefs truly know their way around a kitchen. Our breakfast was delightful and very artful. I highly recommend all guests to attend the restaurants or enjoy a meal within your room. Overall, a wonderful experience at the hotel Sofitel. I will gladly be returning in the near future as well as forwarding friends and colleagues. No comment
Beautiful room, helpful staff, comfortable bed. Needed to wear ear plugs as the road noise is quite loud.
I reserved a room with two beds. When I checked in they said they didn't have any rooms available with two beds. They assigned us a room with a king size bed. I was very disappointed, my adult pregnant daughter was with me and I should have received what I reserved.
Location is good and most staff is pleasant Manager very rude and pool is practically on the atreet
Great food at its restaurant.
The location is wonderful with easy access to the beaches and BH, freeways. The only parking is valet which is now the norm in LA. The staff was exceedingly polite and helpful. I stayed at this hotel about two years ago. There seems to be a climate control issue in the room. I am pretty sure I stayed in the same room during both trips and don't know if it is an issue on other floors.
Excelente hotel. Otima localizacao, muito proximo a Holywood e da Rodeo Drive. A simpatia de todos os funcionarios tambem merece destaque. Fizeram um upgrade do meu quarto, me colocando em um quarto muito grande com excelente vista pa holywood e beverly Hills.
nice place, good view, quiet, good area for many things. none
The hotel is in a nice area and is in walking distance to Rodeo Drive. It has amazing views from the bar/breakfast room, you can just see the Hollywood sign in the distance. There is free internet access and complimentary coffee in the bar all day. Didn't rate the breakfast, the only hot food was scrambled egg whites?! Certainly didn't expect an English breakfast but thought it would have been nice to have had bacon, eggs and pancakes with maple syrup. We had breakfast in the hotel the first morning and then went out to have a lovely USA breakfast the following mornings.
Style decor... very Hollywood Chic Loved the spa and wet rooms Checking out and valet was a long wait
Shopping NO
Nice location Well furnished and decorated. Pumbling issues NO HOT WATER. I was unable to take a warm shower before bed. In room movie system also had issues. Hotel and room look nice but they have some underlying infrastructure issues. Room was also noisy. Lots of road noise even on the 9th floor. no self parking available . Valet parking $40 for one night.
i only stayed one night on a long haul stop over was not there long enough
Perfect Hideaway with a view in the midle of Beverly Hills with great views.

Maintaining data security is no longer a when-you-get-to-it project. It's a critical step that needs to be undertaken now, particularly as the government is formulating a final rule that toughens privacy. That was the take-home message from a session on data privacy at the Medical Group Management Association annual convention, in San Antonio.
Robert Tennant, senior policy advisor at MGMA, laid out the details of a number of enforcement actions taken by HHS against provider organizations with data breaches and access infractions. In one case, Cignet Health Care in Maryland ignored at least 41 patient requests for access to their health records. Cignet eventually was hit with $4.3 million in fines. In another, Massachusetts General Hospital settled for $1 million after a staff member had left a device with patient information on the subway.

Well it would have been great if it had happened, but it looks like Dimitar Berbatov will not be arriving at Newcastle – at least not this summer.
Dimitar Berbatov – I'm going nowhere
The Bulgarian super-star told a Bulgarian web-site yesterday that he had no plans to leave the Premier League Champions and Old Trafford.
Dimitar was left out of the squad for the European Champions League final last Saturday, in spite of the 20 PL goals he scored that won him the Golden Boot this year with Carlos Tevez.
And to make things even worse, he was left out of the squad and replaced by Michael Owen, a player who has had a career warming the bench in the two years since he left Newcastle.
And it looks like Michael will be doing the same thing next season, as he has signed a one year extension.
Has anybody whispered in his ear that football players should really play football?
He'll be a long time in retirement and now's the time to play football, before it's too late.
Dimitar has even apologized to his Bulgarian fans, for not making the bench and this is what he said yesterday:
"I will stay. I will fight for the 20th title. If I were an easy quitter, I would never have made it this far. Everything at Manchester United starts from scratch for me on July 4."
"I want to apologize to everyone for not taking part in the final. I hoped to make the whole of Bulgaria happy with my play. This did not happen and I can only say I am sorry for myself and for the Bulgarians, who expected to see me."
"But there will be new finals and we will be fighting for new titles. I am moving ahead. When you go through difficult times, you should not quit."
It seems that Dimitar is a mature footballer, as he stayed in the dressing room to watch the game on Saturday.
He probably would have shown his disappointment if TV cameras had been able to focus in on him during the game – which they would have done of course.
The 30 year-old goal scoring machine continued:
