The True Bay Ace
Wherever Tim Lincecum was sitting in the San Francisco Giants's dugout on Wednesday night, there was a good chance he felt almost as lonely as Matt Cain was. Because after Wednesday night when Cain pitched the first perfect game in Giants's franchise history, the reality became clearer: Matt Cain is the real Freak of that team.
In the last few years, the Giants's starting rotation has been touted as one of the best in Major League Baseball. A giant ballpark and a mostly giant division mean that pitchers will almost always thrive as a Giant. The orange team by the bay was the epitome of that, flaunting a rotation with two of the best pitchers in baseball, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, along with a fine youngster with an amazing name, Madison Bumgarner. The Giants rode this star-studded pitching crew, anchored by Lincecum, all the way to the World Series in 2010, taking the Fall Classic in old fashion.
Fast-forward a few years later and the tale is different. Lincecum is no longer what he once was. Ever since he was the Cy Young in 2008 and 2009, Timmy hasn't been a massive of pitching prowess. He's gone back and forth between pretty good and not very. He posted a 3.43 and a 2.74 earned run average in his last two full seasons; a 1.272 and a 1.207 WHIP during the same time. Those earned run averages have been his highest since his rookie year. His velocity, once one of the most dangerous for a big league starter, has now dipped to average. His fastball simply doesn't have the blow-you-away power it once possessed – the cornerstone of Lincecum's success earlier in his career. He may have sacrificed some of his speed for the sake of control, but that hasn't been translating to stunning success overall. Lincecum has had stretches of starts – even before this year – where he looked like a kid on the mound, struggling with his motion and control over his pitches. Clues were dropped all over the byline of box scores, along with the vision on the television screen, which showed that the Freak was changing.
The startling signs of Lincecum's inconsistency and dropping value have come to full focus this season. After being shelled by the rival Arizona Diamondbacks on Opening Night, Lincecum has not recovered. He's gone off the deep end and shown the worst numbers of his career: 2-7, an ERA of 6, 77 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched, a 1.583 WHIP, 1.97 strikeouts to walks ratio, 75 hits allowed, 39 walks, and a 59 ERA + so far this season.
No, Lincecum has not moved to the American League East.
After two straight years of inconsistency and numbers that pale in comparison to his Cy Young seasons, these horrific numbers suggest that Timmy's value is sinking at a speedy rate. What's more frightening is that he's lost control of his pitches. Far too often this season Lincecum has thrown bad pitch after bad pitch, in the best zones for hitters, allowing himself to be clobbered. In the past, his strong velocity allowed him to compensate for such errors in location, but now he can't be so fortunate.
Matt Cain, on the other hand, seems to only be getting sharper. He's 8-2 with a 2.18 ERA, 96 strikeouts in 95 innings pitched, a 0.853 WHIP, 6 strikeouts to every walk, 65 hits allowed, 16 walks, and a 163 ERA+ so far this season. Adding to all of this was his last start in which he struck out 14 Houston Astros en route to a perfect game. Cain might not cause an absurd batter-and-a-half an inning to swing and miss, but these overall numbers might just destroy the entire AL East.
When he's on his money, Lincecum is even better than Cain. For his career, he's 71-48, has a 3.17 ERA, 1,204 strikeouts in 1,100 innings pitched, a 1.214 WHIP, 2.88 strikeouts to walks ratio, 917 hits allowed, 418 walks, and a 128 ERA+. That line is even better than Cain's over his eight-year career thus far.
But those stats don't tell the current reality. Lincecum hasn't shown his former ace quality, as he has been struggling mightily so often in the last few years. A true, consistent ace – the Roy Halladays, the Cliff Lees, the Justin Verlanders, and you better believe it, the Matt Cains – almost never show any faults. They'll have less than a handful of bad starts in a season, not a couple handfuls of bad starts in one year like Lincecum.
Matt Cain, on the other hand, has been pretty constant. In his career thus far he's 77-75, with a 3.28 ERA, 1,181 strikeouts in 1,412.1 innings pitched, a 1.173 WHIP, 2.42 strikeouts to walks ratio, 1,167 hits allowed, 489 walks, a 126 ERA+. Many of those numbers may seem weaker than Lincecum's, but Cain is the one who has stayed the course. Since 2006, his first full year as a starter, to 2009, Cain has posted earned run averages of 4.15, 3.65, 3.76, and 2.89. And over the last two seasons when Lincecum began to be erratic, Cain had a 3.14 and 2.88 ERA, and a 1.084 and a 1.083 WHIP. Cain's only inconsistency, well, may be that his ERA is becoming lower and lower over these last three seasons, instead of staying the same. How scandalous!
Cain doesn't have more potent stuff than Lincecum and has never put up historic numbers (aside from a perfect game with 14 strikeouts) but he's been spectacular in his own right. And even better, he has ace-like quality, suffering less than a handful of bad starts in a season. In the last few seasons for the Giants, Cain has been the solid anchor, the best and dependable star among a number of storied pitchers. Lincecum is a roller coaster ride and is showing it even more now. If a pitcher can't locate his pitches, then he's in trouble. Big trouble.
The Giants know exactly how valuable Matt Cain is to them. All he does is locate his pitches and hurls quality and dominant starts. The Giants rewarded Cain by giving him the richest deal for a right-handed pitcher in Major League history: 139.75 million dollars over eight years. What did the Giants give Lincecum? A sign of how much they trust him: a two year, 40.5 million dollar deal. (I'm sorry, did I say deal? I meant to say bone.)
The disparity between the two deals show how much faith the Giants have in their pitchers. Cain is the most reliable and one of the best in the game; Lincecum is the best, if he can locate his pitches, can find consistency, and doesn't change up mechanics, messing himself up. See the complexity? Timmy on his mark is truly remarkable, but he's not worth investing in. He, like his motion, is wild and uncontrolled. He can't put up steady numbers anymore. He doesn't show that he's an ace. Add that onto a pitching motion that could break him down at any time, and there shouldn't be a mystery as to why the Giants wade in caution and offer him short-term contracts. They know he's not a Matt Cain. They know he's not an ace. But Lincecum should rejoice: Cain's perfect game was the last clue for everyone to stop fawning over the Freak and focus on the real ace of San Francisco. Now, Timmy can get a little time to himself while one of the best pitchers in the game continues to become better and better. That might just be something even better than an ace.

Police Use of Force Data, 1996: [United States] (ICPSR 6999)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Statistics
In 1996, the Bureau of Justice Statistics sponsored a pretest of a survey instrument designed to compile data on citizen contacts with police, including contacts in which police use force. The survey, which involved interviews (both face-to-face and by phone) carried out by the United States Census Bureau, was conducted as a special supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), an ongoing household survey of the American public that elicits information concerning recent crime victimization experiences. Questions asked in the supplement covered reasons for contact with police officer(s), characteristics of the officer, weapons used by the officer, whether there were any injuries involved in the confrontation between the household member and the officer, whether drugs were involved in the incident, type of offense the respondent was charged with, and whether any citizen action was taken. Demographic variables include race, sex, and age.

Microsoft, Rob Enderle, and their conflicting perceptions of reality
Some of the most curious e-mail exchanges to emerge from the "Windows Vista Capable" lawsuit involve Rob Enderle, a frequently quoted industry analyst whose affiliations and opinions have been a subject of some controversy in the tech industry. Microsoft is one of Enderle's clients, and his role includes advising the company behind the scenes.
Judging from the e-mails, however, people at Microsoft aren't always interested in his advice. The exchanges provide a rare glimpse of back-channel communications in the technology industry -- and illustrate how they can go awry.
Here's the story: Documents released in the lawsuit this week (PDF, 48 pages) show an extensive debate between Enderle and the Windows team in 2005 over plans for various Windows Vista editions, or SKUs. Enderle contended that consumers would feel slighted by the features missing from Vista Home Basic. Microsoft tried to persuade him that there was plenty of value in that version.
Enderle argued that consumers wouldn't see it that way, noting that he was making the case at Dell's behest.
But when Enderle asked the PC giant for backup, he didn't get any.
"Any assessments you make are best supported/couched in terms of your own analysis and opinion rather than communicated on Dell's behalf," a representative of the computer maker told him.
The analyst threw up his hands.
"Anyway, you'll do what you do," he wrote to Microsoft's Barry Goffe. "Dell will go along; they are just trying to miss a bullet that they, and I, know you can't even see. Let's hope we can mitigate the damage otherwise the industry is really screwed."
Goffe expressed his frustration in a separate message to Windows colleagues about the Enderle exchange.
"Honestly, in all my years of dealing with analysts, I have never been quite so flummoxed," Goffe wrote. "He is just dug in and is not willing to acknowledge reality."
And that was before Enderle brought Steve Ballmer into the mix. Here's the message Enderle sent Microsoft's CEO the next day.
This is kind of interesting and short. We had an advisory meeting with Dell where they (made) a huge stink about your plan for Vista SKUs and asked the analysts and reporters to intervene (we were under NDA so the information was contained). So I attempted to do so and spoke with Barry Goffe who was very nice but seemed surprised that Dell had a problem (I've since spoken with the CEO of another OEM who concurred with Dell) and so went back to Dell and got the attached response.
Sitting on the OEM typically is not effective at making a problem like this go away. Dell was never going to publicly roll against you they were just trying to prevent a mistake they, I, and at least one other vendor (not to mention the rest of the rotating hardware advisory board) saw and clearly won't do that again. Personally, I think the focus should be on avoiding the mistake rather than shooting the folks that try to prevent it from happening but maybe that's just me.
Clearly I never should have mentioned that the source was Dell. At some point I'd love to learn how to help you folks without either getting shot myself or getting someone who also depends on me shot. I figure that would be a great survival skill. This is more of an FYI, just something I figured you'd want to know. Let me know if you want any more details.
Anyway it was still good to see you the other day and still think Scott is a jerk, travel safe!
Rob Enderle
Principal Analyst
Enderle Group
The documents don't show a reply from Ballmer. But later that day, Goffe got a copy of the message and forwarded it to his colleagues.
"No matter what we do now, we look like the bad guy," he wrote. "If Dell reaches out to Rob, then it looks like we bullied them into it. If Dell doesn't reach out then they tacitly agree with Rob's whacky view of the world."
On the phone this week, Enderle stood by his opinion, saying it was ultimately supported by Windows Vista's January 2007 launch.
"It just felt like it was broken as they rolled to market," he said. "I think if they'd addressed what they needed to address, it would have been vastly more successful."
Just out of curiosity, who was the Scott that Enderle described as a "jerk" in his message to Ballmer? It was Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealy, Enderle confirmed. He explained that his comment to Ballmer came after watching the executives interact at an event.
For the record, Enderle said he stands by that opinion, as well.

I really hope the best for my fellow EoR's, but it looks as if they are coming and there is nothing you can do about it. I suggest you and your neighbors stay armed with camera phones etc and take a picture of everything that goes on around them when they move in. Call the cops on everything and write letters every single time. Don't let up on them. You may not stop them, but you will send a STRONG message to anyone else thinking of showing your community this much disrespect. Maybe if you force them to stay on their toes, they will either keep a lock on that mess or get out eventually. Don't give up! We're all in this together.

This Is Who I Am - Music Review
- Paul Oak Music Reviewer
- 2002 3 Oct
Jody McBrayer's first solo outing from his regular gig with Avalon is nothing short of disappointing. No doubt the strongest vocal talent among the pop foursome, McBrayer's This Is Who I Am suffers from tired production, musical schizophrenia and go-nowhere-lyrics.
From the record's opening Michael Jackson copy, to the Craig David rip-off, to McBrayer's newly discovered Latin roots, McBrayer sounds like he's working the karaoke scene rather than delivering a creative gem of his own.
One amazing contradiction to the rest of the album is the remake of Cindy Morgan's "Love Can Break Your Fall." McBrayer's vocal is flawless. Unfortunately, the rest of Who I Am merely mimics every other pop radio act in this industry.

text: An update to my situation: I have FIOS and have had pixelation problems on certain HD and SD channels. My Verizon HD PVR has had very, very few problems with the same channels. Last week, after the Verizon tech came and went without helping me (he said the signal levels were fine), I brought the two boxes together and swapped the cable input back and forth. The TivoHD was definitely having pixelation issues when the Verizon box was not. I then called Tivo, who had me bring up the signal strength meter, which was fluctuating wildly between 50 and 75. They said 95 is the level you need to get a solid picture. So... I called Verizon back and told them what was happening and that the tech told me the signals were fine, but my Tivo (and Panasonic TV) said otherwise. They apologized many times and were going to have another tech remotely check out my box and call me back. I haven't heard back yet, and doubted they could do much remotely, but lo and behold, last night my problem channels are suddenly in the upper 90s and the Tivo is no longer pixelating. Its still too early to be sure things are corrected, but I'm beginning to draw a few conclusions: 1. the tuner in the TivoHD is not as robust to poor signal level as the Verizon DVR. 2. the signal levels for stations vary wildly across the band 3. if Verizon/Comcast/etc is going to rent CableCards to receive their content (and the FCC says they have to), they need to provide sufficient signal strength for them to be tuned reliable by units made by Tivo, Panasonic, etc. My problems (at least after the most recent Tivo software updates) seem to have been caused by signal strength (as an additional data point, with a CC in my Panasonic TV, it also experienced difficulties with the same stations. However, unlike the Tivo, it generally just sets the screen to black rather than show the pixelated video when the signal strength is too low)

Chanel Bags Singapore, Luxurious and Confident
- Chanel Bags: A Legend Since 1955
- The Masterpiece of Chanel Bags: Chanel 2.55
- If You Own Chanel, You Own the World
Chanel Bags: A Legend since 1955
When Grabriel Chanel or famously known as 'Coco' started off her fashion business at the ground floor of a Persian flat in Boulevard Malesherbes in 1909, little did she know that she would eventually build a fashion empire, The House of Chanel. In 1955, the first quilted-leather handbag was launched to the public and ever since then, Chanel bags have been the epitome of beauty, classy and confidence. Currently owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, this privately held company in France is one of the most famous brands in the world. Many famous actresses and fashion models such as Marilyn Monroe, Nicole Kidman and Catherine Deneuve to name a few have donned the Chanel bags as part of their fashion staple.
The Masterpiece of Chanel Bag: Chanel 2.55
The first ever piece created for a well-known brand is always hailed as the sacred one. The same goes to Chanel 2.55, the first ever bag created by Coco Chanel in 1955. It has since become a muse where it inspired many bags around the world. Though it has retained its reputation as one of the most sought after bag, not many people are aware of the interesting origins behind it. Here we have listed a few facts that can amaze you!
- Coco Chanel created this luxurious leather handbag/purse in an attempt to free her hands from carrying her purse around.
- The thin straps that she added to the bag were inspired by straps on soldier bags during that time.
- The exterior design of the bag which is a diamond shaped stitched pattern was rumoured to be inspired by many factors – jockey's riding coat and cushions in Chanel's Paris apartment.
- In the honour of the 50th anniversary of Chanel 2.55, Chanel recreated an exact copy of the bag.
- The copy of the original Chanel 2.55 was named as "Reissue 2.55"
If You Own Chanel, You Own the World
It is too good to be true isn't it? But that is what Chanel gives you – the power and luxury to stand out from the rest. Well, Chanel is not only that, it unleashes the confidence within you. If you own Chanel, you own the world. Here at iprice Singapore, we offer the most amazing and wonderful looking Chanel Toiletries Bags, Chanel Wallets, Chanel Clutch, Chanel Tote Bags, Chanel Sling Bags and many more from Chanel. Well, what are you waiting for? Have fun shopping!

350 Timing
How many times have you guys been asked this? Well, I have read some pages and posts but I just don't know for sure.
Just got my jeep fixed. Had to replace the pick up coil and ignition module in the distributor. I did not do this myself because I just didn't have the time. When I picked up my jeep from the shop it ran but not like it use too!
When I got home it did not idle low enough to hear the mild cam. I adjusted the idle set screw 1/2 a turn and that did the trick. But it still didn't run like it use to although I did not expect that adjustment to make it run better, just like to hear the cam.
I noticed that when I would accelerate it would hesitate. Well a few months ago I checked the timing and it was set to 16deg. I thought that was awful low, piston position, but I left it alone. I decided to check it again since the parts were installed and figured the mechanic probably readjusted the timing. Yeap, the timing was reset to 4deg. Ouch! As I adjusted the timing back to 10deg, for a starting point, it idled up but still hesitated when accelerating. I adjusted it various placed but it didn't run right until I adjusted it back to 16deg. Thus I had to adjust the idle screw another 1/4 turn to get the lopping sound. Vacuum at idle is now about 10 psi.
My distributor is an Accel 71100E which is a high performance distributor with a hefty price tag!
So does 16deg sound right for a performance engine? It sure don't run right set at a lower number.
Engine insides are unknown but here is what I know,
Chevy 350 crate Casting #10066036
Stock heads - I think 993 8.5-1 but unknown pistons
Stamped rockers
Supposedly mild cam
Edlebrock carb and Intake Manifold
Nice! good to see another Jeep guy on here. I have the same motor. Same casting number. Just freshening up my motor now and doing a restore on my Jeep. Yours looks great. What are you running for a trans? Can't wait to drive mine. The suspense is killing me.
Here is a video of how it sounds. Something for you to look foward to! Flowmasters.
12 BTDC is a good starting point, your hesitation may be coming from your carb. your vacuum sounds a little low, the mixture may need adjustment.
You can run more initial advance, up to the point that you have run-on when you shut the engine off, or hard starting due to the advanced timing. Just adhere to the (about) 36 degree total advance.
A good way to do it, is to set the total to, say, 36 degrees. Then see where the timing is at when idleing. If the timing at idle w/the total set to 36 degrees is below the 14 degrees BTDC that the engine likes, you will need to limit the total advance to a setting that will allow you to run the initial timing you need. On your Accel distributor this is a piece of cake to do, thankfully.
I would suggest running the vacuum advance from a full-time (manifold) vacuum source at the base of the carb.
You already know the drill for adjusting the idle mixture screws and setting the curb idle, so I'll skip all that.
If you don't have (or want to check the accuracy of) a dial back timing light, take a couple minutes and MAKE A TIMING TAPE.
If you have any doubt as to the accuracy of your timing marks on the tab and damper, the drill for DETERMINING TDC is also available.
Good luck, and that Jeep's a real looker!
performance tune up instructions:
at idle rpms a carb needs about 12Hg absolute minimum to make a half way decent "atomized" mix...
at 8-10 Hg idle and rumpity rumpity (bad idle mix on purpose) you are dripping liquid gas into the cylinders and that is not a good thing (washing the oil off the walls and contaminating the oil and fouling the plugs)....
stock or mild cam with a dual plane manifold is (ideal) 18Hg at 700rpms with 10-12 base...
sounds like you have a signifigant vacuum leak if 14-16 base only shows 10Hg (or your vac gauge is reading way way off calibration)....
just fyi:
a typical (268 duration) street performance cam with a dual plane will show 15Hg at 700-800 with 14-16 base,,,,10Hg on that cam means there is a "inhale" problem...
a open plenum manifold will cause low Hg,,,if you have one get rid of it....
edit: there are more good articles on that Barry Grant Demon carb site...
timing information.
Thanks guys, I'll get to reading some more!!!
My carb is an Edlebrock 1406 (?cfm)
Intake Manifold is also Edlebrock and its the Dual Plane #2701
I readjusted the idle to were it sounded normal (no tach) (no rumpity rumpity) and it checked out to be 13 1/2 Hg on my vacuum. Fairly steady with maybe 1/2 Hg variation.
Distributor vacuum is connected to the left side vacuum of the carb and my vacuum gauge inside on the column is connected to the right side vacuum port on the carb.
I am going to ge read up on those links you posted. Until I get back maybe this helps. When I rev up the engine the timing mark on the flywheel is almost, if not right at, straight up and down, Top of centerline reference to the flywheel. Timing marks are about 2 o'clock.
13.5Hg is enough for the Edie to make a decent atomized mix at idle....
(the Edie independent idle fuel circuit doesn't work well at all at 8-10Hg)
1406 is 600cfm and that's fine....
your going to have to have a tach to set up the centrifugal advance....
you have know the mechanical advance is set correct first for 34-36 at 2900rpms (approx) (with the vac adv disconnected and plugged) and then test your specific vac unit to know how many degrees your vac unit does add....
hint: screw in the idle rpms adjust screw on the linkage to hold it at 2900rpms to set the 36* then just plug in the vac advance and read the new total,,, if it says 50*'s then it is a 14* added by the vac unit
the left nipple is the "timed port" which is no vac adv added till the throttle blades move (at about 1000-1200 rpms) so presently at idle your base timing is the only timing
your vac gauge is hooked up to the manifold vac port,,,fair chance you will need/want a "T" in that line to hook up the vac adv unit also on that manifold port so idle timing will be base plus the vac unit which will be alot more idle hg....
messing with the vac adv is the none critical last step (try both ports pick the one you like)
it sounds like from your post,,, you need to measure the diameter of your damper then go to the store and buy a $7? Mr Gasket timing tape for that diameter which has all the individual degrees from -10 to 60+ marked on it....
80%+ chance,,, once the timing is set correct the carb will be happy but for future refence here's the complete carb manual:
1406 is factory set up abit more for mpg than performance but should be fine if you do indeed have a mild cam ,,,cross that bridge when you get to it (90% of the performance is due to timing,,,10% in the carb)....
Thanks for all the info guys, I'll keep reading and tinker with it in the morning!
On your 1406 carb, the full time (manifold) vacuum port is the LEFT (drivers side) port.
You said earlier "Distributor vacuum is connected to the left side vacuum of the carb and my vacuum gauge inside on the column is connected to the right side vacuum port on the carb."
If the vacuum gage is set up this way, and the left and right references are correct, you have the vacuum gage set up on the ported vacuum port. This will not give a correct reading at idle!
This also would mean that the distributor's vacuum advance is on the manifold vacuum port- this would be fine... but I have the feeling that your references are as you face the engine, not as you sit in the car. If this is the case, try putting the vacuum advance line onto the drivers side port and see if the vacuum at idle improves. You will need to lower the curb idle if it was on the ported side before.
This can be confusing- you (and the others here) need to refer to all "left" and "right" as if you were sitting in the seat of the vehicle, OR specify "as you face the engine or carb", or words to that effect.
Better to just say "drivers" or "passenger" side, that way there's no question as to what side you're talking about.
But bottom line, if nothing else is said, "left" is always the drivers side and vice versa.
BTW, your 1406 is a 600 CFM carb. ;)
good point,,,I should have written "facing the carb" left is ported/timed....
rule #1: assume nothing!!!
I did assume he was facing the carb (and the illustration is facing the carb)
Blue 84,
"assume nothing" includes telling you that you will need a timing light...
I assumed you have one because you referenced base numbers not typically marked on a stock damper....
(there are some aftermarket performance dampers that do have base degrees marked out to 18 so you can be setting the base without a light)
setting up ign timing is not a "tinkering" project at all....
"best" performance setting is darn close to the motor detonation point so you have to do small precise changes steps...
the spark event is only microseconds duration and you are trying to deliver the spark when the piston (which is moving at 100's of feet per second!!!) is at a exact precise location in the bore ATDC...

Sheltie Coat Colors
Shelties come in several colors and patterns. The two primary Sheltie colors are sable and black. All other colors in the breed are determined by other genes acting upon these primary colors.
(The pattern that causes the variations in face and ruff markings is in fact a completely independent gene from that which causes the different colors, and so from that perspective any amount of white on the face and ruff is purely a matter of taste; and not a requirement in the standard.)
Colors ranging from gold to red to mahogany (or tri-factored) sable. A mahogany sable can sometimes be quite dark in color. If the undercoat is brown, the Sheltie is a sable. Washed out, pale color is considered a fault.
Color ranges from bright silver to dark pewter; marked with black 'merle' spots and varying amounts of tan on face and legs. Rustiness, washed out blue, or self-coloring (no spots) is considered a fault. Genetically, the merle is a tri (black) sheltie; but it carries a gene for "merling" which dilutes the black coat to various shades of silver & gray.
As a result of breeding a sable to a blue merle, a resulting sable can also inherit the merling gene. In this case, the sable coat is diluted in varying degrees. The Sheltie in the photo above, has a distinct merling pattern in shades of gold & brown. The 2nd Sheltie is also a sable merle, although the pattern is not clearly seen.
Tan markings on face and legs are absent on bi colors.
Predominantly white body with colored head and ears. This is a result of white factoring genes from both parents. Although color-headed whites are not allowed in the conformation ring, they are normal and healthy Shelties. When bred to non-white factored shelties the resulting puppies will all be white factored, but will not be color-headed white.
The white-factored white should not be confused with a homozygous (double dilute) white Sheltie.
The double dilute (or homozygous white) results from merle to merle breeding. The merling gene is a dilution factor; when doubled by breeding two merles together, the coat is diluted completely or in part to white, most often including the head and ears. A high percentage of double dilutes are also born deaf, blind, or micropthalmic (small, nonfunctioning or missing eyes). If you are not prepared to care for handicapped puppies, merle to merle breedings should not be attempted.
This double dilute has normal hearing and sight. (Note that the ears are white, whereas the color headed white shown above has colored ears.)

It all started with an idea to build a superior T-shirt...
In 1996, Under Armour was born with the original 0039 Compression T-shirt that boosts muscle performance and wicks moisture, keeping athletes cool, dry, and light.
Because temperature doesn't stop an athlete from training...
The original Under Armour® ColdGear® Mock gave athletes the ability to battle the elements with a soft, brushed inner layer that circulates heat and an element- battling outer layer that keeps you dry and protected.
The one-piece speed suit was custom designed for the 2010 Olympic Bobsled teams using a unique design of Under Armour ColdGear® compression fabric.
The suit keeps the athletes warm, dry, and light on the track by wicking moisture away from their bodies. The suit also supports muscles with strategic compression that's highly mobile to boost strength and maintain a full range of motion.
With technology years in the making, the revolutionary X Band design of the UA Coreshorts supports your entire core and boosts performance, so you run your fastest 40 and beat your man down the field, court, or ice every time. But don't take our word for it. Just ask the pro football, baseball, basketball, soccer & hockey players around the world who use them. BELIEVE IN THE X!
The UA Armour39™ is an Under Armour compression shirt fitted with electronic touchpoints that track the body's natural biometric signals and send them to a tiny device on the front of the shirt that we call "The Bug." The Bug easily transmits data to a computer, where trainers, coaches, and the athlete can review it and react to help the athlete constantly get better.
In '96, we changed the game and built a better T-shirt with our sweat-wicking, fast-drying synthetic. After years of declaring cotton is the enemy, Under Armour took what Mother Nature made and made it better. Charged Cotton® has the comfort of cotton, but dries much faster and performs with an athlete's body.
It's everything you love about cottonbut a lot better. Old school cotton soaks up water like a sponge and weighs you down. UA Charged Cotton® Storm is water-resistant, so you stay warm, dry, and fast. Now, whether you're on the mountain, running, practicing, or playing, you don't have to worry about the weather.
When the sun's blazing, ordinary fabricsespecially dark onesabsorb UV rays and heat up quick, meaning you sweat harder, fatigue faster & lose focus. But not anymore. UA uses coldblack® technology, a revolutionary fabric that reflects even the nastiest heat. So whether you're running a marathon in the desert or just playing 18 holes in the summer heat, black out the sun... and stay cool, dry & protected.
The revolutionary Armour Bra™® has ended every woman's fight with her sports bra. The Armour Bra™ lets you choose both your band and cup size, so it fits your body perfectly. Now, instead of squeezing into a small or falling out of a large, you've got a bra that feels like it was made just for you. In other words... it's perfect.
Super-High. Ridiculously light. No more tape. No more extra weight. Just shockingly light, super-streamlined, fully locked in speed. That's what you get from UA CompFit® technology. With incredible support and feel around your ankle, you'll be able to fly downfield better than ever.
Lightweight cushioning. Flexible support. UA Spine technology gives athletes every advantage in one system: light, responsive cushioning with flexible but supportive comfort. You'll never have to sacrifice cushioning for stability ever again.
Armour39™ is the first-of-its-kind performance monitoring system for athletes that measures your WILLPower™. Simply, put it tells you how hard you worked. No more guessing.

Air crash victim had been attempting first skydive
Page Tools
Adventurous, and outgoing ... Priscilla Hall had lived in Jakarta for the past two years.
Stewart Hall last night took home the body of his only sister, Priscilla, who died with her friend and fellow Australian, William Ellison, and three Indonesians in a plane crash before she attempted her first parachute jump.
Ms Hall, 36, originally from Glen Innes in northern NSW, was planning a tandem jump with a highly experienced Indonesian skydiver just after midday on Sunday when, witnesses say, their Cessna lost power before ditching into Lake Lido near Jakarta.
Mr Hall said his sister was an adventurous, outgoing woman who was very excited about her first jump.
She had been living in Jakarta for the past two years after first coming to visit and work with her brother, the chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank in Indonesia. She liked it so much she decided to stay.
"Coming here gave her a new lease of life, she had a big circle of Indonesian and Western friends ... she was a really vibrant character," Mr Hall said.
Although she was trained in Aboriginal studies after an education at a Sydney boarding school, Mr Hall said that his sister was enjoying doing design work with his wife.
"The happiest I have seen her was in Jakarta. She was on top of her game, ran the biathlon a week ago and was pleased with how she went," he said.
"She was going to do a tandem jump with a national champion. The pilot was a lieutenant colonel who was very, very experienced and the plane had done hundreds of flights."
Mr Hall praised the efforts of rescue teams who worked to recover the five bodies trapped in the aircraft, which was buried in the mud.
Mr Ellison, 35, said to be an experienced skydiver, visited Indonesia regularly in his work exporting cattle from the Northern Territory.

LI man in custody in NYC crane collapse

Amazing that so many ignorant people have chosen to make a comment on here. I saw a news conference where there were probably 20 people from the NYC DAs office around a table while Morganthau (probably spelled it wrong)(how is this guy still in charge of the citys law enforcement?) stated how there should have been 8 straps vs 4 straps?, what happened to the inspector who was suspended last year? They have been charged with placing the blame on someone for this terrible accident, so they take the opportunity to make a media circus out of it. This guy worked on the site every day? and yet still did something so unsafe to save a couple of hundred bucks? All you lemmings (google it) who believe what ever is said to get people to tune in to tv or buy a paper deserve what you get.

As I said on the original article post that nylon straps should be outlawed on heavy lifts. They cut too easily on any sharp edge. Yes steel chokers will break if overloaded too but, they don't cut so easily. I've seen brand new ones cut like butter 3 different times and heard from other workers similar stories. They are suppose to use softeners on any sharp edges if they where wrapping(choking) the nylons around the steel. If it was a straight pull and they parted then they where overloaded. Maybe the collar bound up against the tower because they didn't lift evenly. That could have put too much pressure on the sling. Where did they get the info about 8 straps vs 4? Doesn't it depend on the size and lifting capacity of the strap? Or where they suppose to double up as a safety precaution? How many come-alongs or chain-falls where they using? To put the blame on this one guy there must be evidence that he gave the guys a direct order to do it in a unsafe manner. Usually a boss will tell the gang what to do and if they are experienced won't be right on top of them every step of the job. It could have been one in experienced member or simple equipment failure. There should be lugs added onto the tower that would prevent this collar from sliding down and searing off the other collars below. To all those that perished that day, RIP.

C'mon be real. Our condolences to the victims families, but what killed them was Rapetti's arrogance and neglect. PERIOD! All the money he made shaking down the contractors and the double and triple dipping all those years can now go to paying damages to the victims families and the lives he ruined of the people who's buildings and existence he disrupted !!

I wish they wouldn't censor discussions.

I love to yell at you people and make you look dumb, but unfortunately newsday doesnt feel the same. Because of people like you turning a simple article about how a hispanic citizen female, killed her bf while she was drunk, into some kind of sick, twisted, illegal mexicans thread, Newsday is censoring more and more articles till one day (pretty soon) they are just going to disable comments all together.

Anyone who knows anything about Steven Spinola, President of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), knows that he is a union-buster. In order to increase the profits for the developers that his organization represents, he wants the city to relax the rules for obtaining a license to operate a crane in New York City so contractors can bring in inexperienced, non-union crane operators who will work for less money than union crane operators. This may save the developers money, but it will drastically increase the likelihood of future crane accidents.
Those recent accidents in Manhattan, which resulted in the deaths of Wayne Bliedner and Donald Leo, two members of IUOE Local 14, were caused by faulty equipment/rigging, not by operator error. Spinola and his fellow union-busters knows this, but instead of questioning the business practices of the owner of those cranes, they decided to use these accidents as subterfuge to push for the weakening of the requirements to obtain a NYC Department of Buildings Hoist Machine Operator license, which will greatly weaken the crane operator's union by causing an influx of inexperienced non-union crane operators from out of state. REBNY doesn't care about the extraordinary skill of union crane operators and Local 14's exemplary safety record. All they care about is the additional money they will make if they successfully bust the crane operator's union.

Mickelson takes out title
Springfield, New Jersey
Page Tools
Phil Mickelson tips his cap after winning the 87th PGA Championship at the Baltusrol Golf Club.
Photo: Mel Evans
Phil Mickelson birdied the final hole to win the US PGA Championship here today, edging Australian Steve Elkington and Dane Thomas Bjorn by one stroke.
Mickelson got up-and-down from a greenside bunker at the par-five 18th at Baltusrol, tapping in from half-a-metre to clinch his second major trophy.
It was a case of so near yet so far for Elkington, who narrowly missed a three-metre birdie try at the last.
Bjorn also was a little unlucky, his long birdie try at the last somehow catching the edge of the hole and staying out.
Elkington, the 1995 champion, was seeking to end a 10-year drought between major victories for an Australian, and how close he came.
In the end, though, it wasn't to be, but at least the 42-year-old showed that he is back, after a couple of years in the doldrums.
Elkington bogeyed the 15th hole to fall a shot behind Mickelson, moments before play was halted on Sunday night. He had a long time, nearly 15 hours, to think about his tee shot at the 210-metre par-three 16th.
He hit a nice two-iron to the back of the green, but left himself a long way from the hole and slightly misjudged his first putt, coming up 1.5 metres short on a green that perhaps was a little slower after the overnight rain.
But Elkington, whose putting over the years has been the only chink in his otherwise impressive armour, displayed steely nerves to sink the testing par putt.
Elkington, perhaps feeling the pressure, suddenly lost his rhythmic swing. He pulled his tee shot at the par-five 17th into a bunker and had to settle for par, and then, at the par-five 18th, which is reachable in two from the fairway, he hit a horrible duck hook, which struck a tree and luckily bounced back into the middle of the fairway.
However, he was too far back to reach the green in two, and his lay-up stopped at the back of a sand-filled divot. It was then that he showed his class, hitting a crisp wedge that stopped three metres under the hole.
Elkington surely knew he needed to sink the birdie to have a chance of winning, but his ball missed left, leaving him to tap-in for a disappointing par.
Bjorn subsequently also parred the last, opening the door for Mickelson. He had bogeyed the 16th after plugging in a greenside bunker, but the man they called Lefty found the fairway at the 17th and had a golden birdie chance from five metres, which caught part of the hole but did not drop.
Mickelson found the fairway with a good drive at the last, but pulled his four-wood second shot into the rough, only to display his exquisite short game and pitch the ball stiff, setting up a tap-in for victory.
"There's a lot to be said to being the last guy out there," Elkington said.
"Thomas and I both had good chances to birdie the 18th and couldn't do it.
"I've played well this week. I'm excited about things to come."

Help: Is it the shocks?
There is a sound coming from the rear on the driver's side when I start to accelerate or when going around a bend. It seems like some loose object rolling around in the trunk. I checked my trunk and everything is locked down. I thought my shocks were gone and so I checked into a garage. However the mechanic said both my shocks are still fine. He added what he called "spacers" on the mounts of both shocks and said all would be fine. His reason was that the sound was caused by the springs around the shocks. I now do not know what is causing this. A search of the forum has not helped.
I assume your 318i is an e-46.. Although I have not suffered this malady, many e-46 owners have- check your rear subframe attach points, check for cracks in the floor. BMW settled a class action lawsuit with e-46 owners concerning floor failures. Check the wiki here to see if this may be what is affecting you.
I don't know of any suspension noises that sound like something rolling around. Did you remove your back seat to see if something is under it rolling around? Cracked subframe is usually a clunk type of noise, like the sound of a worn dif bushing from what I have read.
Yes, the 318i is an e-46.
I will remove the back seat and check but I would be surprised to find anything. This sound just started out of nowhere. The sound is like there is something loose somewhere in the back. It is like a clunk. However it only occurs when I accelerate or when the car is going round a bend and then it is quite loud. The mechanic said that the sound comes from the barrel spring around the rear shocks. He added some rubber spaces at the upper end of the rear shock mounts and assure me the sound would be gone. It did disappear for a couple of days but then came back.
I thought of replacing the shocks but the mechanic thought it would not solve the problem. Could the barrel spring be the problem? Has it become weaker? What is a cracked subframe? If it is the subframe that is cracked, how do I verify this? Our roads are pretty rough.
Furthermore, after the mechanic added the spacers, the car handles a lit bit oddly. Could the spacers be affecting the vehicle dynamics?

Who Am I?
Resources to guide Record-Keeping Practices which support Identity for Children in out-of-home care
Frank and Samantha talk about their experiences in locating and accessing their records.
It is their experiences, and others like them, that have inspired and informed the Who Am I? research.
The Research Project
This research project investigates the role played by archiving and recordkeeping practices in the construction of identity for people who experienced out of home 'care' as children (including members of the Stolen Generations and Forgotten Australians).
Inspired by the recommendations from the 'Forgotten Australians' report (see the Federal Inquiry, 2004), the interdisciplinary research team explores issues of creating, storing and accessing records using tools from the fields of social work, history and archival studies.
Research Outputs - Reports, Papers, Submissions
Resources to guide record keeping which supports identity for children in out of home care
The Who Am I? project adopts an action research methodology based on the Knowledge Diamond. The Knowledge Diamond, devised by Cathy Humphreys, emphasises the importance of the exchange of ideas between key stakeholder perspectives: Research Evidence, Service User/Consumer Experience, Policy Perspectives and Practitioner Wisdom.
The Who Am I? project is conducted by researchers from the University of Melbourne (Cathy Humphreys, Gavan McCarthy, Cate Elkner, Rachel Tropea, Margaret Kertesz and Andy May) and the Australian Catholic University (Shurlee Swain and Nell Musgrove), in partnership with 15 organisations, and in consultation with consumer support and advocacy groups.
The Partner Organisations are The Salvation Army, Wesley Mission Victoria, Anglicare Victoria, Berry Street, Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, Child and Family Services Ballarat, Department of Human Services Victoria, Glastonbury Child and Family Services, Good Shepherd Youth and Family Services, Kildonan Uniting Care, MacKillop Family Services, Orana Uniting Care, St Luke's Anglicare, Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency Co-operative Limited, Victorian Adoption Network for Information and Self Help. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council.
Research Strands
There are four strands of research:
1. Pathways and historical records of care
A web resource for information to document the historical context of 'care' has been developed, with the aims of:
- providing information and resources that help make sense of past events in the history of 'care' in Victoria, and
- enabling people who have experienced institutional and out-of-home care as children (and their families) to see where their own story fits in to the broader context.
Initially called Pathways, it brought together information about institutions, organisations, significant figures, policies, practices and legislation in the state of Victoria, from its beginnings in the 1850s through to the present.
Pathways has now been revised and extended to become Find and Connect Victoria, and was also used as the model for building Find and Connect pages for each Australian State and Territory.
See Core Principles underlying the Pathways website (August 2010).
2. Archiving practice and policy
Academics worked with those responsible for archiving within the partner organisations to establish the level of archiving knowledge and development within each organisation, and the archiving needs of this sector. This included education and discussion about archival principles.
See Archiving - Moving Forward as a Community (April 2010) Archiving Workshop Report by R. Tropea, G. McCarthy, C. Elkner
3. The experience of accessing records
A number of organisations and people with experience of out-of-home care have been involved throughout the project. In addition, a number of interviews with care leavers were conducted, to explore their experiences of the searching for their records and accessing their files. Special attention was paid to the impact of this experience on their sense of themselves.
See Records Access Project (November 2011) Final Report by Suellen Murray
4. Current Practice
Current practice in creating records has been examined in the light of records being a resource for identity throughout the lifespan. With records being "fragmented" by being stored in a diverse range of locations, the concept of the Portable Personal Record was developed - a set of personal records kept together for easy access by the young person in care, and his/her carers.
Following a series of scoping workshops, three nested projects have been carried out.
- 100+ points of identity - examined the accessibility and locatability of a range of records for a sample of young people currently in out-of-home care.
- A Backpack of identity - recognising that records are not routinely transferred to new carers when children and young people change placement, this research explored the barriers to passing on records, and possible solutions.
- Implementation - the development of strategies to ensure that current recording practice takes into account the long-term identity needs of children and young people in care. Resources to guide record keeping which supports identity for children in out of home care have been developed.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
We were pleased with our room's cleanliness and decor, which appeared to have a decidedly masculine slant - dark woods and modern lines. Bath was very clean and towls soft and fluffy. I had noticed on the orientation paper that there was a Breakfast House and just thought it was a different way of referring to breakfast in the lobby. Not so...it's an actual house adjoiing the property. How cool is that! All in all, a nice place to stay at a reasonable price. I understand the use of water softening chemicals, but not to the extent that the water feels slimy, as was the case here. Forget about having a glass of water on the nightstand. The bathroom fan, if there was one, was nonfunctional, which was a minor inconvenience. So I reported at check out and was pleased to see the front desk make an immediate note of it.
One of the best places I've ever stayed. I checked in after 10pm and the staff was extremely happy and made us feel welcome instantly. The rooms were large, spacious, and clean!! If you want a good breakfast you can go to ihop right next door, but don't waste your money. The Abbey inn has a fantastic full breakfast that's included in your stay.the food is great, the staff is extremely nice, and the rooms are great. I've found my new temporary home in cedar city.
The room was very clean and comfortable, especially the bed!! Breakfast was very good also.
Friendly staff and clean, comfortable room with great full breakfast in renovated home next door. Enjoyed hot tub after hiking in nearby Zion and Bryce Canyon Nat'l Parks. Next to Interstate with lots of food, fuel and convenience choices in Cedar City. Great central location to enjoy southern Utah sites.
Nice room, great value. Good breakfast. Very friendly front desk. Room smelled a bit when we arrived, had to air it out. Once we did it was fine.
We were put in a room that was clearly not ready. There was no handle on the bathroom door and the curtains did not cover the window and you could see right into our room! I tried calling the front desk several times with no answer. In the morning when i told the front desk they just said"okay". There was no apology or compensation.
All of it Hot tub hours
The hotel was great - clean, safe, nice rooms, decent breakfast. Perfect place for a quick stop while heading to Zion and Bryce Canyon the next day.
Didnt know that part of the hotel was under construction, inconvenient. They did comp a free room next stay but the time line is too short to be useful. See above
Location, price Unclean carpeting (made our feet black!)
This was the third time we have stayed at the Cedar City Knights Inn. It is perfect for one night stop over. The The only negative is that there is only one ice machine at the end of the building.
The saft was very good to work with was willing to help me when I ask. The roon was very clean and was well kep, but the bed was shot. I believe it is time to change. I would stay there again but would check the bed out first. We stayed in room 123.
T v remote did not work. Called office suggestions from them how to fix it did not work. Did not bring another to see if it would work.
It was nice and quiet and very clean.
The staff seemed friendly, the room was quiet, the pillows were good, and the WiFi worked. Breakfast was average. The room number on the door was a piece of paper that was taped over the previous chain's room number plaque. Apparently Ramada bought the hotel back in October and hasn't bothered to actually switch the room plaques in 8 months, so the tape holding on the paper covers is no longer sticky and they are flapping in the wind. The pipes rattled in the wall every time I turned on the sink. The shower curtain had a tear in it. The bathroom in the lobby was filthy, and they had a glade air freshener setting on the counter to attempt to cover the scent. In the breakfast area, part of the floor is uneven and not adhered to the floor properly, so I nearly tripped moving through the area.
Room was clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Full free breakfast was good. Price was reasonable. Air conditioning unit is noisy and interrupted sleep as it came on and off during the night.
Room was comfortable. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. The WIFI did not work in my room. Called the front desk and they gave me a number to call instead of taking care of the problem. Even after I called problem was never fixed.
Nothing the place was a dump. Hot tub was broke the owner was like it's cold and has no intention on fixing it. They rebooked my room in the middle of the first night so I had a visitor. I thought $60 a night was cheap for a ramada well now I know why.
Comfortable bed, easy access from freeway. Could have been a little more cleaner in bathroom
Accommodations were clean and comfortable and breakfast was good. The outside was a little run down and the pool was out of service.
Helpful staff allowed me to fill up our 6 gallon water canister for camping and allowed us to keep our bicycles in our room for the night. The rooms were very clean and the pool was nice. The complimentary hot breakfast was lacking. The breakfast burritos were not very good and the waffle mix didn't taste very good either. I ended up having cereal.
No elevator
Oh my, where to begin?! I had such a relaxing stay that I wish everywhere were as great! It was a terrific experience from the moment Charity greeted me at the front desk, to the moment I discovered I had the option to using their sauna, hot tub, swimming pool, or eating at their attached resraurant. But the real amazement occurred when I walked into my room and was floored by the square footage, full bath, vanity, fridge and microwave, super comfy bed and pillows and soft linens, and sofa. I heard baby crying next door and the parking lot was slippery without being prepared with proper winter attire.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Great room. They had a wonderful breakfast Not their fault but my GPS had a problem finding the hotel
Near SUU Beds could be better
From check-in to check-out the staff is so friendly and efficient. take great care of everyone at breakfast. Hotel Employee had our room clean and fresh upon our early afternoon return to the room.
This hotel far exceeded our expectations. From an oversized room, outdoor gas fire pit and barbeque in the evenings to vegetable gardens for the guests to pick and eat. The staff was helpful and friendly. The morning hot breakfast had many selections.
Surprisingly nice hotel. We were somewhat confused with a similarly branded hotel across the street. However, the hotel staff at both locations were super helpful.
Clean, comfortable. Got in late and left early. Wish we were there longer. Would definitely stay again!
This Best Western should be the standard for all of them. We loved the box gardens, patio, and evening cookout! The rooms are all recently redone, very roomy. If you visit in the next two or three weeks (mid October) get a cantaloupe out of the garden! Nope.
Newly remodeled. Very clean. Great new 'backyard' with fire pit large chess set, pool and hot tub. Pool and hot tub were closed, so we enjoyed the chess game and making s'mores. Have stayed at 'many hotels' in Cedar, this is by far the best one. Wish the pool had been open!
Clerk let me have a room even before check-in time. Location was great and the bbq in the evening was a nice gesture. It was a clean room with lots of pillows. Not a great selection of tv channels and it was a touch noisy.
Outdoor barbeque was wonderful and the attending employees were the best!!
Basic, low-cost hotel room. The plumbing is noisy. When the other room uses the shower or toilet, you really hear it.
The price was good for the time of year. The only reason I picked this hotel to stay at is because the pictures show and indoor pool and spa and that was not the case once we checked in.
Comfortable, clean , great room for the money
Booked 2 rooms non smoking. But received one smoking room. No check in person on site. No change in room allowed. Hotel agreed to cancel one room, but agoda still did not provide refund. Terrible experjence
Room was clean. Staff was nice. Had a crying baby across the hall but rooms were built right didnt hear a thing until you opened the door. Continental breakfast was good but they are limited to quantity so you have to get in early to enjoy all of what they have to offer. Overall great place.
The bed and room were clean. Breakfast was ok. The place was currently being renovated. No where did it say that when we booked. Old and new carpet piles everywhere. Carpet nails and scraps everywhere. Paper thin walls. Holes in walls from old pictures. Two of the same paintings in the bathroom. Toilet was crooked. Head board was crooked. Emergency exit at bottom of stairway had two rolls of new carpet in the way.
This hotel was clean and relatively new. The rooms were large enough for our overnight stay. The breakfast was good. We had an issue with our air conditioner/heater. There was only one person on duty at the front desk and she was unable to resolve the issue. The hotel was fully booked so we were unable to get a different room.
Quiet and clean room Breakfast choices
The staff is very friendly, hotel is spotlessly clean, front desk have us complimentry toothpaste when we forgot ours, and the hot breakfast was pretty good too. Pretty much all you can ask for if you need a fairly priced room for a few nights.
The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was nice too.
2 day drive and location was great, price was great for just sleeping a few hours before continuing on. The girl at the desk was extremely pleasant and overall, just a great stop for the night. When I plugged my cel phone charger into the light stand base and then turned the light off to go to sleep, the charger turned off. I had to sleep with the light on. I was so tired, it didn't matter, but thought that was odd.
The room was clean and comfortable, and for our room being nearly next to elevator it was rather quiet. Front desk was polite and knowledgeable. We found bandaids in pool & in the room booklet about the hotel & local area It lacked any info about local food spots. I wouldn't have wanted to talk to the front desk about food options while trying to include my family on the decision.
Clean. Up to date. Well equipped. The mattress was like sleeping on a sponge--wash to soft, leaning to one side. Too bad.
The rooms were big and clean, service was great and I am planning on staying at this hotel again in the future. I thought that the breakfast was very good.
We have stayed at 7 other locations in Cedar City, and found this the nicest one yet. It is a new hotel, and the decor, furnishings, cleanliness, amenities, service are top notch. The 'hot' breakfast is the usual preformed egg patties and make your own waffles, but they do have hot oatmeal. The beds are very comfortable, and the windows in the room open all the way for ventilation. The rooms are divided by a partition wall to provide a sitting area with couch and desk. Conveniently located near I15, and everything in Cedar City is just a short drive.
We just stayed one night, but the room had everything we needed; fridge, microwave, separate area for 2 children, iron, blow dryer. Comfortable, cheerful decor, friendly staff. Just what we needed.
Staff members at the front desk were very nice and friendly. no, not really.
Room was clean and very nice with couch/pull out bed. Even had 2 closets and breakfast buffet was really good.
It was clean with large rooms. The staff was polite and friendly. The breakfast was great. No
Nice place. Loved the stay! Price.. Break fast was busy and they ran out of some of the idems
My wife like this hotel best of those on our trip. It was a suite, which made it apartment-like No.
Great Hotel !! Breakfast was great, room was comfortable and clean, staff was friendly and very professional
Staff was friendly I families that were there were out of control and very loud. The breakfast room in the morning had children unattended and they were destroyingbthe room. We left to get breakfast somewhere else. Not a good stay. Also the beds were very hard.
The room was spacious and well maintained. The hall and stairs were being repaired which was needed.
Great place for the money. It was cheap so I was expecting a dive, but the place was quite nice.
The staff was very nice. The hotel overall wasn't very clean. My room door was very beat up. Paint on the bathroom door and hair was in the bath tub. The floors seem stained All over.
Check in was at the hotel next door. Front desk did not have our on line booking. Very slow to check people in. Staff gave us key to wrong hotel. Staff was overwhelmed. The only saving grace of this hotel is that it cheap and it has a waffle machine.
We stayed in this hotel while in Cedar City for the Shakespearean festival. It's on the south end of town, about 3 miles from the festival venues -- well worth the drive. Spotlessly clean, plenty of towels, large room, very quiet, helpful, accommodating staff, hot breakfast, etc. We'll definitely stay there next year!
Our stay was horrible. The tub looked like someone had walked around in it with muddy shoes. The towels were like sandpaper. The beds were the worst. \n \nComplain to the staff, what staff? At least answer the phone, make an appearance, clean, do something. This place was a complete ghost town. \n \nThen there were the noisy neighbors. \n \nOh, what about the 'heated pool.' Try heated room, cold pool. There was no heat, no hot tub. Talk about a total let down for the kids. \n \nThen there's the breakfast. The frenchtoast sticks were rock hard. The eggs were sweaty and tasted funky. Can't screw up coffee!
We stayed for one night during our drive from California to Colorado. The staff very efficient and friendly, even at our 3am check in. Hotel looked brand-new, rooms were clean and well appointed. I would stay there again without thinking twice about it.
We stayed for one night during our drive from California to Colorado. The staff very efficient and friendly, even at our 3am check in. Hotel looked brand-new, rooms were clean and well appointed. I would stay there again without thinking twice about it.
I travel a lot for business and its always nice to come to arrive at a hotel and feel at home. I would recommend this Hampton to anyone, the staff is excellent and very welcoming and the rooms are spotless. They also have the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in a hotel.
Excellent service, rooms and location. Would make this a stay any time when visiting Cedar City. Recommend.
We travel quite frequently for both business and pleasure, and have stayed at many hotels. The Hampton Inn is by far at the top of our list. The staff is WONDERFUL! So hospitable and will bend over backwards. The front desk girl even made extra cookies for our kids when there wasn't enough for everyone in our family to have one. The rooms are immaculately clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. This hotel is our first choice in Cedar City by far.
The room was smaller than expected for a Hampton. Breakfast was Fantastic!!! Very clean and easy to find. Front desk help was very friendly and accomidating.
Clean and comfortable. Good beds. Nice staff. Good breakfast included.
The overall facility was very clean and the room was also very clean. The owners were very pleasant and we completely enjoyed our visit. The breakfast was definitely good. Though I can't say what the other rooms might have been like, I doubt you could go wrong at all if the same attention is paid to all of the others.
The location is convenient to down town. Continental breakfast was good and well stocked throughout the breakfast time period. The were under construction so getting around was sometimes difficult. I booked three nights, but my key card was only programmed for one night when I first checked in.
Friendly, helpful front desk and a great breakfast.
Staff worked with me to get the room that I wanted. Staff missed cleaning room one of our three days.
Clean, newly renovated rooms. Room was on the small side and because it is an older property it had a musty smell.
Staff was polite and welcoming, answered any questions I had regardingy visit to the national parks. It was a bit farther from Zion National Park than I expected, a solid hour drive - but a beautiful drive so can't complain too much.
My friend and I stayed here for the night on our way to Brian Head resort. The hotel was easy to find. Check in was quick and easy. The room was small, but cozy. I rated them one less star on cleanliness, only because the cleaner forgot to throw away the bar of soap in the shower from the previous guest. I would stay here again if we go back to Brian Head.
We liked our room. It was small but efficient and pleasantly decorated with nice colors, comfortable bed. It was very clean. We liked the tile shower with glass door. The lamps had extra places for electrical plugs for computers and cell phones, nice :). The breakfast in the morning was good and included hard boiled eggs for protein. I think there might have been yogurt too. The toilet was clogged when we got to the room. We called the front desk and they brought a plunger and my husband fixed it, not a problem!
I had to cancel my appt. because of a family emergency. I agree that I should have been charged the first nite but certainly not the second. Rip off. I'll never use kayak again.
quiet, easy to find, and near Zion and Bryce, excellent breakfast
The price, the room was comfortable, the location was convenient. No.
Staff was friendly. Fridge and microwave were dirty. Pillows were super tiny. Very thin blanket. Bathroom looked grungy, tub wouldn't plug, pool was grungy around the edge tiles. I could have had the same thing at half the price at a hotel 6. Quality inn was not even close to quality.
The room was comfortable enough, and the breakfast was pretty good. The bedspread really needed to be washed.
outstanding breakfast facilities and staf
room was clean and had a nice firm bed free breakfast was lacking
There wasn't anyone in the lobby when I arrived. Had to wait. Then the doorknob to the room came off in my hand. Then I returned to the hotel that night and found cops there. The icing on the cake was the long black hairs on the towel provided.

Hope your wife is o.k..
Take your time. So many guns out there, so little money.
Printable View
Took out the M4 yesterday and blasted a few rounds with the Korean "beta" mag. ZERO malfunctions. Even the cheap a$$ loader worked just fine. For a range toy, I say "go for it". YMMV.
Stupid me forgot to take the Galil out too though. So I don't know how well it'll work with the AR magwell. It fits, but I don't want to assume that it will feed properly until I actually shoot it.
So go ahead and get a couple there 4th, as long as you're not planning to take them to Trashcanistan for actual combat.
Thank you Bro... That is great news..
Next month we got a "buy."
Did you full load it?
Thank you much for the report. Dear God I can finally get up and leave the computer. My legs are sore.
Be great on my shorty. I am going in the gun room now too give him the good news. :)
No problem. No, I didn't full load it yet. 80 first time, 90 the second time. Figure next time I take it out I'll go for a full 100. Still, 90 rounds is a LOT of lead going down range, not to mention heavy. LOL. I do like how much lighter and compact the Beta style is compared to the big a$$ AK drums. In general it feels so much better balanced, and because of the design, it doesn't hang down very low.
yep i can see 4th bump firing 100 round drum mags through that 7" super-shortie! FG&F is gonna LOVE that--LOL!
remember the big "O" and his pals do not want YOU to have these!
than may be why i never got that "stimulus" check! --
Yup. Have too have one..
Next. How do you change barrel's after it melts. :)
step one --remove hand-guards and remove gas tube
